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  Also, some of his research is out of date with new discoveries since he wrote these volumes, but most of it is still in date and can tell you more about the families of Woburn.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

[p.228] 1645, Ruth, d. of John Stanley, a serg. in 1649, may be that youth of 13, who came in the Increase, 1635, from London to Boston, was rep. for N. 1657, had Ruth, b. 5 Jan. 1657; Sarah, 12 Feb. 1662; Mary, 15 Sept. 1664; and Phebe, 25 Apr. 1669; the first bapt. at Norwalk, the others at F. but no s.; went back to F. a. 1660, was a deac. m. very late in life, Dorothy, d. of Rev. Henry Smith, who had been wid. of three husbands, and liv. in 1705. JACOB, Sudbury, s. of John of the same. JAMES, Salem, perhaps br. of Richard or George, or both, in his will, of 5 July 1659, pro. Nov. foll. calls hims. of Hammersmith, in wh. he ment. w. Ruth, and little d. Deborah, may be the one, wh. m. at Lynn, 28 Dec. 1657, Ruth Pinion, wh. perhaps, was d. of Nicholas of New Haven. JAMES, Boston, “a Scottish man” as rec. of his m. 6 Feb. 1657, with Mary Both, or Booth, calls him, may have been (tho. it seems to me unlikely, as he was one of the found. of the Scot's Charit. Soc.) one of the few outcasts of the civil war, sold here, that had health or heart eno. to form a fam. JASPER, Plymouth, serv. boy of Gov. Carver, wh. d. very soon aft. arr. of the Mayflower, by careless read. oft. suppos. to be s. of the Gov. who however had no ch. tho. many thousands have prid. themselves on being his descend. JEREMY, Hingham, came in 1638, by the Diligent, was from Wymondham, a large town in Co. Norfolk, adj. old Hingham, rem. to Boston 1643, was freem. 1645, d. bef. 1669, leav. Jeremiah, Samuel, and Mary, wh. m. John Cotton. * JOHN, Dorchester 1630, came in the Mary and John, prob. for he was freem. 18 May 1631, a deac. went with Warham 1635 or 6, to Windsor, was there a chief man, rep. not as Hist. of W. 705, tells, in 1643, but 1665, 7, and oft. aft. d. 18 Sept. 1677. He had Abigail, b. 1639; Mindwell, 10 July 1643; and John, 5 Dec. 1645; but he had also, prob. elder ds. Hannah, wh. m. 30 Nov. 1648, John Drake; and Eliz. wh. m. 24 Nov. 1654, Nathaniel Loomis. Abigail m. 11 Oct. 1655, Thomas Bissell; and Mindwell m. 25 Sept. 1662, Nathaniel Bissell. JOHN, Roxbury, freem. 3 July 1632, but perhaps he first liv. in some other town, for his name is not found early at R. nor does Mr. Ellis in his Hist. give it; but the ch. rec. has “old John Moore of 99 yrs. d. 27 Oct. 1679.” JOHN, Cambridge, perhaps the freem. of 8 Dec. 1636. JOHN, Salem, had there bapt. Jerusha, 25 Dec. 1636; Abigail, 10 June 1638; Benjamin, 18 July 1641; and Ephraim, 10 Dec. 1643. Perhaps his w. was Hannah, and he may have been freem. but not, as Felt puts him, in 1633. JOHN, Newport, receiv. as an inhab. 16 Nov. 1638, may have been of Warwick 1655, had d. Mary, wh. m. Job Almy. JOHN, Lynn 1641. JOHN, Braintree, whose w. Bridget d. 1643, was liv. there 1658, and in 1660 was one of the purch. of Medway. JOHN, Sudbury 1643, perhaps he who came in the Planter, 1635, aged 24, from London, may have been of ar. co. 1638, by w. Eliz. had Mary; [p.229] Lydia, b. 24 June 1643; Jacob, 28 Apr. 1645; perhaps Joseph; and Eliz.; m. sec. w. 16 Nov. 1654, Ann, d. of John Smith. Mary m. 8 Sept. 1661, Richard Ward; and Lydia m. 1664, Samuel Wright. JOHN, Newtown, L. I. 1656, was their first min. says Riker's Hist. JOHN, Roxbury, of wh. I find nothing but his insert. in list of freem. 1666. JOHN, Boston, shipwright, d. in Virginia, and admin. was giv. 15 Jan. 1683, to his wid. Mary. JOHN, Windsor, only s. of John of the same, m. 21 Sept. 1664, Hannah, d. of Edward Goffe of Cambridge, had John, b. 26 June 1665; Thomas, 25 July 1667; Samuel, 24 Dec. 1669; Nathaniel, 20 Sept. 1672; Edward, 2 Mar. 1675; and Josiah and Joseph, tw. 5 July 1679. His w. Hannah d. 4 Apr. 1697; and he m. 17 Dec. 1701, Martha Flamsworth, unless Mr. Stiles misspell. the name, had Martha, 24 Sept. 1705; and d. 21 June 1718. * JOHN, Lancaster, perhaps of Boston, and freem. 1669, was rep. 1689 and 90, call. sen. JOHN, Boston, by w. Lydia had Sarah, b. 19 July 1673; Hannah, 1675, d. soon; Hannah, again, 25 July 1676; John, Feb. 1678; Thomas, 26 Nov. 1679; Catharine, 5 Feb. 1681; Rachel, Feb. 1682; Francis, Nov. 1684; Catharine, again, Mar. 1686, and Francis, again, 8 Apr. 1687. He was, perhaps, the freem. of 1671, and d. 1693. He was a brewer, had good est. of wh. admin. was giv. to his w. Lydia, 13 July. JOHN, Lynn, m. 21 July 1673, Susanna, perhaps d. of Thomas Marshall, had Thomas, b. 20 Apr. 1674; John, 10 Feb. 1679; Richard, 22 Aug. 1680; and Susanna, 4 Mar. 1685. * JOHN, Lancaster, call. jun. rep. 1689, perhaps s. of him who was rep. aft. JOHN, Lynn, freem. 1691. One other John, wh. came in the Susan and Ellen 1635, from London, aged 41, I am unable to dispose of. JONATHAN, Boston, youngest s. of Mrs. Ann, wid. of William Hibbins, the Assist. was, I infer, only tempo. resid. here, for the will of his mo. 16 June 1656, shortly bef. her execut. for the preposterous crime of. witchcraft, wh. is to be seen in Geneal. Reg. VI. 287, 8, speaks of him and his brs. John, and Joseph, as if all were in Eng. and in the codic. of 19th of the same, acknowledg. “the more than ordinary affection and pains ‘of this one,’ in the time of my distress,” as he had arriv. to attend the result of the execrable fanaticism. She was prob. the richest person ever hanged in this part; and the prejudice against witches long slumbered. JOSEPH, Boston, m. 21 May 1656, Ruth Starr, had Joseph, b. 7 Mar. 1658. JOSEPH, Sudbury, m. Lydia, d. of John Maynard. MILES, Milford 1646, rem. as early at least as 1657, to New London, freem. 1663, call. old in 1680, left descend. thro. d. Miriam, w. of John Willey; beside Abel, bef. ment. RICHARD, Plymouth, brot. by Elder Brewster, with a. br. both as serv. in the Mayflower, 1620, and the br. d. in few wks.; at the div. of cattle 1627, when the name of every man, woman, and [p.230] ch. is giv. he was still assort. with Elder Brewster; but by Gov. Bradford's Hist. 451, we are taught that he m. and in 1651 had four or five ch. liv. as if he had lost one or more. It is vain to regret, that the Gov. did not mention the names of the ch. or the mo. Perhaps he rem. to one of the newer settlem. for Winsor's Duxbury tells that he sold his land 1637, and I am convine. aft. long search, that he is the Richard by Deane, in Hist. of Scituate, call. Mann, as the other four passeng. with this bapt. name of Richard, were all then adult. See Mann. RICHARD, Cape Porpoise, now Kennebunk, had gr. of 400 acres in 1647, and less than 20 yrs. aft. was of Scarborough, had w. Bridget, became pauper 1679, and d. 1681. See Southgate, 77. RICHARD, Salem 1642, to wh. says Felt, was made gr. of land 1638, freem. 28 Feb. 1643, tho. this man may have come in the Blessing, from London 1635, aged 20. He, or perhaps a s. of the same name, in a town office there, was liv. 1682; and in 1668 his name, with that of Richard jun. is sign. to the petitn. against imposts. RICHARD, Lynn, by w. Alice, wh. d. 29 May 1661, had Mary, b. 15 Jan. preced. and he m. 6 Nov. 1662, Eliz. Wildes. ROBERT, Boston 1651, tailor, rem. next yr. ROBERT, Boston, by w. Ann had Susanna, b. 6 Aug. 1686. SAMUEL, Salem, freem. 6 Mar. 1632, perhaps, therefore, came in Nov. preced. in the Lion, had Samuel, bapt. 25 Dec. 1636; and Remember, 9 Dec. 1638. SAMUEL, Boston, prob. s. of Jeremy, m. 1 May 1660, Abigail, d. of capt. Thomas Hawkins, had Mary, b. 2 May 1661; he d. in short time, and his wid. m. Thomas Kellond, and 3d h. Hon. John Foster. SAMUEL, Boston, by w. Naomi had Francis, b. 15 July 1670; and Edward, 5 July 1674. SAMUEL, Lynn, had Mary, b. early in June 1676, d. soon; Rebecca, 9 Nov. 1677, d. soon; Abigail, 26 Sept. 1678; and Ephraim, 17 June 1681; was freem. 1691. THOMAS, Dorchester, came in the Mary and John 1630, and prob. was br. of John of the same, freem. 18 May 1631, rem. 1635 or 6 to Windsor, perhaps rem. to Southold, L. I. where was one of this name 1662. THOMAS, Portsmouth, one of the first sett. sent by John Mason, the patentee, 1631. THOMAS, Salem 1636, prob. s. of Thomas, to whose wid. Ann, a midwife, was next yr. gr. of ld. made, by w. Martha had Thomas, and Martha, both bapt. 21 Oct. 1639, soon aft. the parents were rec. of the ch.; Benjamin, 2 Aug. 1640; Nathaniel, 3 July 1642; Hannah, 29 Dec. 1644; Eliz. 31 Jan. 1647; Jonathan, 3 June 1649; and Mary, 15 Dec. 1650; was freem. 27 Dec. 1642, and in few yrs. rem. THOMAS, Boston, mariner, m. at Cambridge, 9 Nov. 1653, Sarah Hodges, had Sarah, b. 26 Apr. 1655, d. next yr.; Sarah, again, 5 May 1660; Hannah, 26 Apr. 1662; Rachel, 25 May 1664; Eliz. 27 Apr. 1667; and Thomas, 2 Sept. 1669, d. 1690. THOMAS, Roxbury, freem. 1690, says the Col. rec. but I have some doubt. WILLIAM, [p.231] Salem 1639, may have been of Ipswich 1665, and d. 1671. * WILLIAM, Exeter 1645, was, says Farmer, a rep. in the assemb. of N. H. WILLIAM, York 1652, when he subm. to the Mass. governm. to 1680, when he took the o. of alleg. to his Majesty. WILLIAM, Westerly 1669, may be the same, who at Norwich m. Aug. 1677, Mary, wid. of Thomas Howard, wh. was k. at the gr. battle of Philip's war, 19 Dec. 1675, d. of William Wellman, had Eliz. b. 20 July 1678; Experience, 12 May 1680; Martha, 22 Feb. 1682; Joshua, 1683; William, 1685; and Abigail, 1687. His w. d. 3 Apr. 1700, and he m. 17 July foll. Mary, wid. of Joshua Allen of Windham, wh. d. 18 Sept. 1727; and he m. 10 June 1728, Tamison Simmons, and d. Apr. 1729. WILLIAM, Amesbury 1670, a milit. officer, wh. m. as I presume, 7 Oct. 1673, Mary Veazie, perhaps d. of George of Dover. Seven of this name had, in 1829, been gr. at Harv. six at Yale, six at Dart. and twelve at other N. E. coll.

Moss, * John, New Haven 1639, sign. the orig. comp. 4 June 1643, had John, bapt. prob. 5 Jan. 1640, d. young; Samuel, 4 Apr. 1641; Abigail, 10 Apr. 1642; Joseph, prob. 5 Nov. 1643; Ephraim, 16 Nov. 1645; Mary, 11 Apr. 1647; Mercy, male, 1 Apr. 169; John, again, b. 12, bapt. 20 Oct. 1650; Eliz 3, bapt. 7 Oct. 1652; Esther, 2 Jan. 1654; and Isaac, 21, bapt. 30 Nov. 1655; as the print. in Geneal. Reg. IX. 361, gives the bapt. wh. may be a mistake for Dec. The rec. of b. may be trust. that of bapt. is certain. wrong. He was rep. 1667-70, and then rem. to Wallingford 1670, of wh. he was rep. 1671-3, yet contin. propr. at New Haven, d. 1707, aged 103, perhaps with slight exagg. yet thot. to be the oldest that ever d. in Conn. See Dana, Cent. disc. 1770. Mary m. 3 Nov. 1664, John Peck; and Eliz. m. 1670, Nathaniel Hitchcock. JOHN, Boston. See Morse. JOHN, Woburn, m. 5 Mar. 1686, Dinah Knight. JOHN, Salisbury, by w. Sarah had Joseph, b. 11 Jan. 1694; Abiel, 19 Aug. 1695; Mary, 4 Mar. 1697; and Benjamin, 24 Oct. 1698. He may have been a Morse. JOSEPH, Portsmouth 1665. JOSEPH, New Haven, s. of John of the same, m. 11 Apr. 1667, Mary, d. of Roger Alling, had, beside prob. others, Samuel, b. 27 Jan. 1675, d. next yr.; Joseph, 7 Apr. 1679, H. C. 1699, a min. of reputa. at Derby, ord. 1706; and Samuel, again, [p.247] 18 Mar. 1681. JOSEPH, Boston, by w. Mary had Joseph, b. 22 Mar. 1687; and Joseph, again, 18 Jan. 1689. MERCY, New Haven, s. of John, by w. Eliz. had John; and William, b. 28 June 1682; but perhaps John was not the elder. He d. not long aft. for his inv. was of 3 Mar. 1685, and only the wid. and two s. to have int. in it. In no other case have I seen this female name enjoy. by a man. The surname is sometimes writ. by mistake for Morse.

JOSEPH, Groton, prob. s. of James the first, had two ws.

Such a canon of criticism has, indeed, never been promulg. as binding, but too often passes as sacred tradit. with some, long after rejection by the majority.

Of course the Ind. hostil. drove him away; and Bond fixes him at Watertown, and says he had Joseph; Abigail, b. 3 Jan. 1682; Hannah, bapt. 16 Jan. 1687; and Benjamin, the same day; the last three at W. ‡ * DANIEL, Newbury, s. of Daniel of the same, by w.

DAVID, Dorchester, freem. 7 Dec. 1636; but Mr. Paige, in his very careful list, Geneal. Reg. III. 94, read it Price. EDWARD, Watertown 1639, says Bond, wh. thinks he went to Wethersfield, but nothing certain is kn. of the man. EPHRAIM, Weymouth, perhaps s. of Michael, by w. Hannah, d. of John Holbrook of the same, had Azrikam, b. 4 Jan. 1672; prob. Ephraim; and perhaps others. GEORGE, Boston, a smith, m.

E. 1620 and 1, tho. connect. with the pilgr. of Plymouth, never came, in my opin. to this shore, yet Willis seems contra. I. 13. After most respectful consider. of the docum. refer. to in his note, I am constrain. to express a confidence, that the London cloth-worker never succeed. in accomplish. tho. he did undertake, a voyage to Plymouth, the ship being put back in distress. My judgment seems to have confirmat. by what is read in Bradford, 140. * JOHN, Dorchester, came perhaps in the Mary and John, 1630, or in the Lion, [p.428] Feb. 1631, is call. mariner from Stepney, one of the modern London parishes, freem. 18 May 1631, by w. Parnell had Joseph, b. 30 Oct. 1631; Abia, 17 July 1633; John, 3 Mar. 1635, d. the same mo.; Nehemiah, 12 July 1637, d. Oct. 1639; and his w. d. the same mo. He was selectman 1636 and 41; rep. Mar. 1639; rem. 1642 to Boston, m. sec. w. 10 Aug. 1654, Rebecca, wid. of Thomas Wheeler, and d. 17 Sept. 1661. His will made the day bef. ment. w. Rebecca, s. Samuel, and Nehemiah, ds. Mehitable, the w. of Jeremiah Rogers, prob. eldest, and her three ch. beside Mary, Mercy, and Exercise, as may be read in Geneal. Reg. X. 359, 60. In the Hist. of Dorchester, 71, Samuel is supposed to be elder than Nehemiah, “as he is ment. first;” but it seems clear, that he was younger, no doubt, by the sec. w. JOHN, Watertown, freem. Mar. 1638, a man of very good est. project. settlem. at Sudbury and Lancaster, d. 19 Aug. 1661; and his will of 4 Mar. 1658 was pro. 1 Oct. foll. In it he provides for w. Eliz. eldest s. Anthony, and other childr. without naming; but his wid. in her will of 15 Mar. 1667, in wh. mo. she d. aged 79, supplies the defic. naming ch. Anthony, John, Robert, Esther Morse, w. of Joseph, Mary Coldam, whose h. is not of my acquaint. beside gr. childr. Mary Ball, and ano. Ball, Esther Morse, and the childr. of Anthony and Robert. He had also d. Eliz. wh. m. 30 Jan. 1645, Francis Wyman, but she d. bef. her f. JOHN, Boston, by w. Eliz. had John and Eliz. tw. b. 16 June 1643; and of him nothing more is kn. unless he may be that man call. John Peirse, to whose four ch.

JOHN, Boston, s. of Anthony of Watertown, adm. as inhab. 28 Feb. 1643, freem. 1648, m. 15 Apr. 1656, Ruth, d. of Nathaniel Bishop; had Hannah, b. 30 June 1660; Ruth, 22 Nov. 1662; Hannah, again, 1 Mar. 1665 (as to me seems, tho. in the infirm town rec. she is call. d. of John Pease, and w. Ruth, neither of wh. is seen elsewhere); beside Nathaniel, 10 Apr. 1678; and Rebecca, 15 Feb. 1680. Perhaps betw. the earliest and latest pair he was resid. in some other town. His will of 21 Oct. 1682, pro. 7 Nov. foll. gives to his w. Ruth all his est. to bring up the childr. withal, as it lay in Boston or was giv. by his f. at W. or as may be inher. from gr. f. as this testat. was eldest s. of his f. JOHN, Hartford 1640, a youth who prob. rem. soon. JOHN, Charlestown 1652, may have rem. to Kittery, and d. 1673, leav. wid. Elinor. [p.429] His inv. of £154 is dat. 5 Dec. by Francis Hooke, and Hubertus Mattoon. He may have been the witness to will of Thomas Coytmore, Aug. 1642. JOHN, Boston, a mariner, in 1654, was perhaps he who m. 15 Apr. 1656, Ruth, d. of Nathaniel Bishop, had Hannah, b. 30 June 1660; may have been adm. an inhab. 1657. Ano. JOHN of Boston, perhaps by w. Isabel had Samuel, b. 14 Jan. 1660; and d. 17 Sept. 1661. JOHN, Sudbury, perhaps br. of Anthony, had w. Eliz. wh. d. 12 June 1655. One JOHN, a weaver, came from Norwich, Co. Nov. 1637, aged 49, with w. Eliz. 36, and four ch. John, Barbara, Eliz. and Judith, and one serv. John Gedney, 19, may have been this Sudbury man or not, as the commonness of the name prevents distinct.

Some of the bread brot. over the ocean by him, tradit. fondly reports to be still in possess. of descend. and so, by more than 165 yrs. older even than her. It may as well keep many centuries more. ROBERT, Ipswich, m. Abigail, d. of Mark Symonds of the same. ROBERT, Watertown 1646, s. of John of the same, rem. prob. to [p.431] Woburn, was freem. 1650, by w.

SAMUEL, Boston 1672, cooper, prob. s. of John of the same, may have rem. 1677, to Charlestown.

Pierson, Pearson, Porsune, or Person, Abraham, Branford, was of Yorksh. came to Boston 1640, join. the ch. 5 Sept. of that yr. when he is call. “a studient,” of wh. we may doubt the meaning, as we kn. he was bred at Trinity Coll. Cambridge where he took his A. B. 1632, and he is in Mather's first Classis as a min. bef. coming over, tho. this may well seem incorrect; bec. min. of the ch. gather. in Lynn Nov. 1640 to go to sett. at Southampton, L. I. thence a. 1647 went to Branford, and thence in the autumn of 1667, with a part of his congreg. to Newark, N. J. See his letter to John Winthrop, 3 Mass. Hist. Coll. X. 69 and 84. He had Abraham, b. at Lynn 1641, H. C. 1668; Thomas, John, and Abigail, bef. his rem. from S. and at B. were b.

Farmer says twelve had in 1829, been gr. at the coll. of those three States. Lechford, in Plain Dealing, 43, calls him Pridgeon. Of his will, I have large abstr. furnish. by Samuel H. Congar, Esq. It bears date 10 Aug. 1671, provides out of good est. for four s. Abraham, Thomas, Theophilus, and Isaac; four ds. beside his “choice and precious d. Davenport,” so that we may be sure John was d. bef. that date. ABRAHAM, Killingworth, s. of the preced. had been ord. as collea. with his f. at Newark, 4 Mar. 1672, in 1692 came to Conn. and in 1694 was sett. at K. m.

PETER, Boston, a quaker, to be whipp. at the cart's tail 1660, thro. Boston, Roxbury, and Dedham. Hutch. I. 203. It is not relat. in any book how this tended to his conversion. STEPHEN, Derby 1679, had prob. other ch. beside Stephen and Sarah; for the name of Abraham is found in the list of est. 1717, and this may lead to the presumption that Stephen was s. of the first Abraham. THOMAS, Branford 1668, not (as oft. he is call.) s. of Rev. Abraham the first, m. 27 Nov. 1662, Mary, d. of Richard Harrison, had Samuel, b. a. 1663, rem. to Newark, and d. there.

Hannah, had Rebecca, b. 29 Sept. bapt. 1 Nov. 1646, wh. prob. d. young; again went to Hampton, there had [p.518] Hannah, Mary, and Sarah; again rem. to Boston, perhaps, where he had the last ment. bapt. 1 Sept. 1650; and Samuel, 3 Apr. 1653; this s. d. the end of Mar. foll. and ano. Samuel was b. 28 Feb. 1655. His w. d. 24 June foll. and he went once more to Hampton, had ano. w. Susanna; and was drown. 20 Oct. 1657, by overset. of a boat. See Belkn. I. 58, f Farmer's ed. His wid. m. John Preston, and she join. with the childr. in convey. of est. in B. Hannah m. 11 Jan. 1661, John Senter of Boston. SAMUEL, Mendon, s. of John the first, freem. 1673, m. 1668, Hopestill Holbrook, perhaps d. of William the first, had Samuel, John, Josiah, and Ebenezer, beside Mary, w. prob. of Seth Chapin; but dates are not seen. His will was of 5 Apr. 1717. The s. John is said to be that gr. of H. C. 1697, wh. was held the greatest lawyer this country produc. bef. the Americ. Revo. exc. perhaps Judge Trowbridge. See full exhibit. of his esteem in Eliot's Biogr. Dict. SAMUEL, Marblehead 1674, perhaps br. of Richard. SAMUEL, Charlestown, s. of George the first, a physician, m. 19 June 1679, Eliz. d. of John Mousal, had Eliz. b. 3 Apr. 1680; Joanna, 16 Feb. 1681; Abigail, 10 Jan. 1683; Samuel, 16 July 1688, d. in few days; Mary, 9 Jan. 1690; Mercy, 29 Nov. 1697. THOMAS, Salem 1630, freem. 1 Apr. 1634, was made ens. 1637, had s. Thomas, Abraham, and perhaps others, and he may earlier have been of Lynn and Marblehead, at wh. latter he was a witness, 28 Sept. 1630, bef. coroner's jury. THOMAS, Salem, elder s. of the preced. by w. Mary, had Susanna, bapt. 23 Sept. 1649; John, 15 June 1651; Mary, 10 Apr. 1653; Eliz. 13 May 1655; Remember, 26 Apr. 1657; Jacob, 5 June 1659; Sarah, 15 Mar. 1661; but prob. the last two d. young, for ano. Jacob was bapt. there 7 Nov. 1663; and Sarah, again, 19 Aug. 1666. Yet here, without doubt, is some confus. and more omis. I feel sure there were two, and prob. three Thomases contempo. at Salem. The first had title of Col. and d. abroad a. 1663; left beside a sec. w. call. Elsy, two s. of wh. Abraham, the younger, was admor. By Wait Winthrop, his atty. Samuel, only s. of the other Thomas, calling hims. merch. of London, sold 28 June 1701, to Daniel Epps the farm at Salem that had belong. to his f. But Essex Inst. II. 16, gives inv. of ano. THOMAS, tak. 5 Apr. 1667. THOMAS, Milford 1646, may have been a promin. man at Newtown, L. I. 1656. THOMAS, Sudbury, may be the freem. of 1656, had Thomas, and perhaps more, d. 19 Sept. 1701, as Mr. Shattuck thinks. THOMAS, Boston, by w. Mary had Eliz. b. 28 Jan. 1657; and he d. 11 May 1661. THOMAS, Rehoboth, s. of John the first, m. 29 Mar. 1665, Eliz. Clark, bur. 23 Feb. 1675, aged 32; and m. 16 June 1675, Ann Perrin, perhaps d. of the first John, had John, wh. d. 4 Dec. 1676; Thomas, 25 Mar. 1678; Nathaniel, 30 Mar. 1680; and Hannah, 12 Apr. 1682; and he d. 6 Feb. 1696. THOMAS, Weymouth, [p.519] s. of William the first, by w. Sarah had Thomas, b. 12 Sept. 1671; John, 30 Dec. 1679; Samuel, 12 Apr. 1681; Ruth, 20 Feb. 1685; William, 4 Feb. 1688; Hannah, 25 Sept. 1689; and Eliz. 9 Nov. 1694. THOMAS, Sudbury, s. of Thomas of the same, m. 30 May, 1677, Mary, d. of John Goodrich of Wethersfield, had fam. was freem. 1678, then call. jun. One THOMAS of New Hampsh. 1689, pray. for jurisdict. of Mass. THOMAS, Woburn, youngest s. of George the first, m. 1 Feb. 1704, Sarah Sawyer. TIMOTHY, Woburn, s. of Ralph, m. 27 Dec. 1688, Martha Boyden, had Martha, b. 1 Mar. 1690; William, 5 Oct. 1694, so nam. for a bro. k. by the f.; Jonathan, 15 Dec. 1701, d. young; Eliz. 1 Dec. 1706; and Mary, 25 Dec. 1709; and by sec. w. Persis, had Persis, 21 July 1711; Timothy, 27 Sept. 1713; Jacob, 31 Jan. 1716; and Jonathan again, 19 May 1718. But it must be told, that the h. of Persis, to wh. these last four ch. are giv. is, by my correspond. call. s. of George the first. WILLIAM, Boston, perhaps very early, but more prob. not, as it seems likely that most, if not all of his ch. were brot. from Eng. So far as can be gather. or reasona. conject. they were Margaret, wh. m. 3 Mar. 1659, Richard Stubbs; Susanna m. 13 Dec. 1659, Samuel Smith; Esther m. 30 July 1661, John Canney, all at B. Edward, Richard, and Samuel, all at Marblehead, and it is said Christopher, wh. d. at Charlestown 1696. Tradit. tells, that he d. at sea, on a passage, 1667, hither from Ireland. * WILLIAM, Weymouth. freem. 2 Sept. 1635, rep. 1636 and 8, had John; William, b. 15 Dec. 1639; Esther, 8 May 1641; and prob. others, certain Mary wh. d. by rec. 16 Apr. 1655. But ano. Mary, d. of one William at W. m. 11 May 1657, John Vining, by the same rec. so that some mistake may be fear. Perhaps the earlier date refers to the mo. of the m. Mary. He had also Thomas, Margaret, and James. WILLIAM, Dorchester, came prob. in the Defence 1635, aged 48, with w. Mabel, 30; George, 6; Ralph, 5; and Justus, 18 mos. and had at D. Abigail, bapt. 30 Dec. 1638; was freem. 14 Mar. 1639; rem. prob. first to Rehoboth, or perhaps liv. at Woburn. WILLIAM, Boston, perhaps br. of the first John, there by w. Susanna, had Susanna; and, John b. 25, bapt. 27 Sept. 1646, a. 4 days old, as the ch. rec. says. His w. d. 12 Oct. 1653, and he m. 20 May 1654, Ruth Crook, had William, 3 Feb. 1655, d. soon; Isaac, 18 Apr. 1656; Ephraim, 23 Nov. 1657; Jonathan, 23 Apr. 1659; Timothy, 11 Aug. 1660; William, again, 7 May 1662; Hezekiah, 6 July 1663; Sarah, 26 June 1665; Eliz. 22 Dec. 1666; and Eliz. again, 22 Apr. 1669. He may have been of the first proprs. of Worcester, 1674. His d. Hannah d. 25 Nov. 1656, by rec. and d. Susanna m. 13 Dec. 1659, Samuel Smith. WILLIAM, Norwalk 1654, perhaps was only a transient man, and very soon aft. of Newtown, L. I. WILLIAM, Boston, by w. [p.520] Hannah had William, b. 26 Mar. 1665, unless there be error in town rec. wh. is not very improb. and John, 25 Apr. 1669. WILLIAM, Woburn, eldest s. of Ralph, by w. Eliz. had William, b. 23 Aug. 1682; Mary, 12 Mar. 1685; Eliz. 23 Feb. 1687; was casual. k. by his own bro. Timothy, 7 Nov. 1688, shooting at a deer. WILLIAM, Woburn, s. of George, m. 24 May 1686, Abigail Kendall. WILLIAM, Weymouth, s. of William the first of the same, not the freem. 1653, m. 1675 Esther Thompson, had William; Esther; John, b. 21 Oct. 1680; ano. ch. whose name is not in the rec. 24 May 1682; John, again, 10 July 1687; so that prob. the first John d. young; Jacob, 6 Nov. 1691; and Sarah, 21 Mar. 1694; beside others, as we are confident, for his will of 26 Oct. 1705, pro. 12 Sept. foll. names w. Esther; eldest s. William; John; Jacob, and ds. Bathshua Porter; Mercy Whitmarsh; and unm. ones, Mary; Esther; and Sarah. This name is very common, often written Reed, and under either form likely to breed confus. betw. sev. hav. the same bapt. title. Aft. spend. many hours of sev. days, I am unable to reconcile and fix the habita. of all. Farmer found 60 gr. in the N. E., N. J., and Union Coll. 1829. Twelve at Harv. and eleven at Yale had been gr. in 1834.

Vexat. from contradict. rec. is frequent in these inquir. and much refinem. will be need. to reconcile that m. as print, in Geneal. [p.28] Reg. XII. 347, with the bs. in same Vol. 110 and XI. 334, “evident. the sec. w.'s childr.” says Vinton, 298. His wid. m. 5 Sept. 1670, Thomas Faxon, and d. 1697.

He serv. in brave capt. Johnson's comp. Dec. 1675, but Geneal. Reg. VIII. 242, makes him Sable. Only from his will of 31 Jan. pro. 7 Mar. foll. in wh. w. is made extrix. until his eldest s. William should be of age, do we learn names of other ch. Josep, Benjamin, Deborah, and Judith; by wh. w. or when b. respective. is unkn. Yet I venture to conject. that the last nam. alone was by the Quincy w. wh. outliv. him six or seven yrs. His brs. Samuel and Benjamin also are ment. in that instrum.

He was one of the orig. purch. of Dartmouth. *JOHN, Malden, eldest s. of Ralph, b. in Eng. freem. 1653, m. 2 May 1651, Lydia, d. of Edward Goffe of Cambridge, brot. from Eng. had John, b. 9 Mar. 1651; Lydia; Jonathan, b. Oct. 1656; Samuel, 21 Feb. 1659; and Mary, 13 Apr. 1661; Phineas, Feb. 1666; Edward; Deborah, 21 Sept. 1670; Sarah, Feb. 1673; and d. 16 Dec. 1703. The wid. d. 11 Dec. 1715. A will of his br. Richard, wh. outliv. him, in 1703, gives to five s. of this John, wh. was rep. 1689, 90, and 1. JOHN, Duxbury, only s. of Francis, liv. first t Marshfield, but d. in D.; m. 1655, Ruth, d. of William Bassett, had John; William; Samuel; Ruth, b. 12 Feb. 1659; Eliz.; Desire; and Dorcas; was k. in Philip's war, 26 Mar. 1676, under Pierce, at the fierce fight of Pawtucket. JOHN, Plymouth and Duxbury, in Hutch. I. 354 call. one of the counc. to Sir Edmund Andros, was perhaps s. of William, and if this be true, he m. 13 Dec. 1666, Eliz. Holbrook, and Hosea S. in his Geneal. tells no more, but that he sold in 1682 his est. at Hingham, and d. [p.154] at Mendon 1690. Yet there is, in my opin. very slight reason for think. the s. of William of Hingham to be the counsellor. Judge Mitchell refers to the will of the Hingham man, of 1683, as it ment. his ch. John, William, Ebenezer, Eliz., Hannah, Millicent, and Persis. JOHN, Malden, eldest s. of John of the same, by w. Eliz. had John, b. 28 July 1685; Abiah, 21 Aug. 1687; Mary, 27 Nov. 1689; was freem. 1690; and he d. June 1692. JONATHAN, Weymouth, s. of William of Hingham, by w. Eliz. had Eliz. b. 21 July 1670; rem. to R. I. by fam. tradit. and may be the same, wh. at Providence had preach. in the early part of 18th centu. was town clk. in 1722, and perhaps d. at Smithfield, Jan. 1741, aged 92. JONATHAN, Malden, s. of the first John of the same, by w. Mary had Richard, b. 28 June 1686; John, 7 May 1689; Joseph, 24 Oct. 1691; Nathan, 2 Feb. 1694; Hannah, and Mary, tw. 25 May 1696; David, 15 Aug. 1698; and was freem. 1690. PHINEAS, Malden, youngest s. of Ralph, freem. 1690, m. 11 Dec. 1661, Mary Carrington, perhaps d. of Edward, wh. brot. him no ch. and d. 7 Dec. 1667; but by sec. w. m. 5 Jan. 1670, Sarah Hasey, perhaps d. of William, had Phineas, b. 27 Dec. foll. William, 21 Nov. 1672; Ralph, Nov. 1674; Sarah, 23 Apr. 1686; Joanna, 17 Apr. 1688; and Abigail, 2 Mar. 1690. But my suspicion is strong, that the three last belong to the other man of the same name in that town. He took the o. of fidel. 15 Dec. 1674, and was rep. 1689 and 90. PHINEAS, Malden, prob. s. of the first John, by w. Eliz. had Eliz. b. 11 Oct. 1691 Mary, 15 Oct. 1693; Tabitha, 19 Oct. 1696; and I find nothing more of him. *¶RALPH, Charlestown 1629, came prob. with w. Joan, and s. John and Richard, that yr. in the fleet with Higginson, certain. with brs. Richard, and prob. William. They were s. of Edward prob. of Upway in Devonshire. Sometimes it has been thot. that these gent. were passeng. in 1628, with Endicott, but to me it seems more likely that, as they came, paying their own charges, they were in the fleet of 1629. With Endicott, in the Abigail, beside his fam. and serv. there were not, I suppose, over twenty, includ. men, women, and ch. and most of them sent by the adventurers in London, as the first sh. for the planta. would naturally be occup. in transport. of persons wh. they should wholly control. The much larger exped. aft. gr. of the chart. in 1629 had, also, wider views of policy, and in obedience to the direct. of the officers of the comp. at home the Sprague's, wh. came at their own charge, were sent by Endicott to take up the lands at C. but we kn. that the compiler of the Charlestown rec. threw back his narra. of early transact. by one yr. mak. Winth. and the gr. body of our early sett. come in 1629. As the Sprague's came one yr. bef. Winth. Mr. Green, the compiler of that MS. compliment. by Prince and most of us as the first rec. of C. natural. gave them the [p.155] date 1628, and on the same premises our confidence reposes, that the true yr. was 1629. He had w. Joan, and the Nos. of hims. and her on our ch. list are 102 and 3. He had Samuel, bapt. 3 June 1632, but he may have been b. many mos. for this was the sixth ch. nam. in our list, and the rite had not been perform. since Nov. 1630, by reason of the abs. of Wilson the pastor, wh. came back from Eng. the wk. bef. this bapt. He and his w. were of the 33, wh. had desir. dismiss. from the congr. of Boston “to enter into a new ch. body at C.” and were dismiss. 14 Oct. 1632; and his d. Mary was bapt. 14 Sept. 1634; s. Phineas, 31 July 1637. He had sprung, I imagine, from Dorsetsh. and own. lds. in Upway of that Co. as by let. of 25 Mar. 1651 from his f.-in-law, John Corbin, at that parish, appears. On 19 Oct. 1630 he req. adm. and 18 May foll. was sw. as freem. made constable at the Gen. Ct. Oct. 1630, serg. lieut. and capt. in regular success. rep. May 1635, being the third time of such an assemb. and very freq. aft.; ar. co. 1639; but I believe that in later days he liv. on Mistick side, or Malden, for his name is in a commiss. to sett. bounds there, and he d. Nov. 1650, and his s. Jonathan next mo. and the name of his wid. is the sec. on the women's memo. to the Gen. Ct. 1651 in favor of Matthews; and she may have m. eleven yrs. later Edward Converse of Woburn. Mary, his d. m. Daniel Edmunds, oft. writ. Edmands, and in the will of her br. Capt. Richard has good provis. *¶RICHARD, Charlestown, came, no doubt, with the preced. wh. was elder br. bring. w. Mary, and on the Boston list of ch. mem. stands bef. his br. being No. 79, adm. freem. 18 May 1631, was with w. dismiss. Oct. 1632, to form new ch. at C. in 1637 took side with Wheelwright, and sign. the remonstr. against the proceed. of the Ct. but on express. his regret, the signa. was eras.; was of ar. co. 1639, capt. rep. 1659 and sev. yrs. more, prob. had no. ch. and d. 25 Nov. 1668, aged 63. His will of 15 Sept. preced. names w. Mary, Richard, John, Samuel, and Phineas, s. of his br. Ralph, his br. William of Hingham, and gave to Harv. Coll. 30 ewes with their lambs. By the will of his wid. 12 Nov. 1671, pro. 16 June 1674, we gain a fine fam. crop. It names kinsmen, lieut. John, Samuel, and Phineas Sprague; kinsman Nathaniel Rand, and his s. Nathaniel; kinsman, Lawrence Dowse and his two ds. Eliz. and Mary; childr. of Thomas Rand, and Lawrence Dowse; Jonathan, s. of Daniel Edmands; br. William Sprague, and his childr. sis. Alice Rand; kinsmen Thomas Rand, Nathaniel Rand, Lawrence Dowse, Abraham Newell, Nathaniel Brewer, and Thomas Lord; Mary Dowse, d. of Lawrence; made Excors. Nathaniel Rand, and lieut. John Sprague. His inv. summed up well. *¶RICHARD, Charlestown, s. of Ralph, b. in Eng. m. 25 Feb. (but Goodwin says 1 Feb.) 1673, Eunice, d. of Leonard Chester, wh. d. 27 May 1676; in 1674 dur. the Dutch war, he [p.156] command. an arm. vessel of 12 guns to cruise in Long Isl. sound, for secur, of the coast. trade. He took sec. w. Catharine Anderson, on whose gr. stone appears, that she d. 23 July 1701, aged 45; but prob. had no ch. by either w. as none is heard of. He was ar. co. 1681, capt. rep. 1681, and aft.; and was bur. 13 Oct. 1703, hav. d. 7, two days bef. wh. he made his will of unusual and judicious liberality to relatives, to clerg. to ch. and £400 to Harv. Coll. See Budington, 192, wh. in his valua. work had miscal. him s. of Richard, 33, but correct. the error on last page. SAMUEL, Malden, s. of Ralph, m. in Boston, 23 Aug. 1655, Recuba Crawford, says our rec. perhaps mistak. the name (for the Malden rec. gives her name Rebecca), had Rebecca, wh. d. 15 Aug. 1658; Samuel, 4 May 1660; Samuel, again, May 1662; Rebecca, again, Sept. 1666; and perhaps sev. more, for by the will of Capt. Richard his elder br. 1703, est. was giv. to two s. of this Samuel, wh. d. 3 Oct. 1696. He was lieut. and town clk. freem. 22 Mar. 1690, when his s. Samuel, and three other Malden Sprague's took the o. His wid. Rebecca m. Capt. John Brown, and d. 8 July 1710, in her 77th yr. *SAMUEL, Marshfield, s. of William the first, m. a. 1666, Sarah, d. of Thomas Chillingworth, had Samuel, b. 1674; John; Nathan; James; Sarah; Mary; Joanna; and Hannah. Of this branch of Samuel, thro. the eldest s. is the disting. Judge, Peleg, descend. He was rep. 1682, and 3 yrs. more, was reg. of deeds, and the last Secr. of the Col.

JOHN, Hingham, came in the Diligent, 1638, with w. and four ch. as the rec. of blessed Daniel Cushing assures us, from Attleburg in Co. Norfolk, a town a. 15 ms. from Norwich, but less than half that dist. from Hingham; encourag. the sett. of Rehoboth, where ld. was assign. him 1644, but forfeit. by non. rem. As he is call. sen. perhaps one of his ch. may have been s. John; but of the stock I gather no more. JOHN, Scituate, s. of George, m. 1661, Eliz. d. of Samuel House, had Eliz. b.[p.234] 1662; John, 1664; Mary, 1666; Sarah, 1668; Hannah, 1670; Esther, 1673; Benjamin, 1675; Nathaniel, 1677; and Nathan 1679; was an ens. in Philip's war, and d. in 1691, by his will ment. w. and all the ch. exc.

Rachel d. 10 Nov. 1672, and a proper. of Lancaster 1653. RICHARD, Andover 1664, may aft. have liv. at Reading. SIMON, Scituate 1647, perhaps br. of George, of wh. we kn. no more, but that he was witn. of Nathaniel Tilden's will, and was there 1643. WILLIAM, Eastham, m. 11 July 1666, Damaris Bishop, had Alice, b. 13 May 1668; Thomas, 11 Nov. 1669; Mary, 4 Oct. 1671; may be the man of Newbury, wh. m. 27 Oct. 1679, Mary Gassll, or Gaffell, as Coffin has the name, and d. 7 May 1690.

JOHN, Westfield, is an alias name of SEVAN, as the Rev. Mr. Davis read the orig. rec. wh. is hardly to be call. a possib. [p.237] one; but a more practis. eye gave me the assurance that the name was SCORE. Nobody will dispute the prob. that Mr. Judd got hold of the right letters. *RICHARD, Boston, join. our ch. 6 Jan. 1639, had John, bapt. next Sunday, and was dism. 24 Nov. foll. with others to form a ch. at Rowley, freem. 13 May aft. was rep. 1666 and many yrs. more, and d. 1678.

TIMOTHY, Andover, s. of Robert the first, d. 1 Feb. 1693, aft. long afflict. suppos. by witchcraft, as Rev. Mr. Hale in his Hist. p. 38, tells, of wh. Eliz. Johnson, perhaps w. of Stephen, acknowl. bef. Justice Dudley Bradstreet, 10 Aug. 1692, that she had a hand in it, but she was so liberal in confess. many other torments bestow. by her upon other neighbors, that I believe she saved her life by her falsehoods. See 3 Mass. Hist. Coll. I. 124. But the magistr. was slow to believe the horrible confess. of his neighb. against themselves, and so the baffled bloodhounds wh. rejoic. in the diabolical delus. were let loose upon him, as a Sadducee. THOMAS, Roxbury, m. Mary, d. of Thomas Lamb, had Henry, b. in Boston (where prob. he first pursu. his profess.), 16 May 1665, wh. d. young; and Thomas, wh. d. 1668; but at R. had Thomas, again, b. 15 Sept. 1669, H.

His ho. was burn. in the night of 11 July 1681, for wh. Maria, a negro serv. of Joshua Lamb, being convict. by her confess. at the Court in Sept. foll. the Gov. benignant Bradstreet, pronounc. the sentence of d. by the form. of burn. and the horrid solemnity was public.

C. 1657; Timothy, 7, bapt. 10 May 1640, d. soon; Deborah, 28 Aug. bapt. 4 Sept. 1642; but the dates of bapt. of the last three are wrong, in the copy by Budington scrupulously foll. and the orig. being lost, we are always doubtful, whether the transcript is correct. In ea. of the three cases, the Geneal. Reg. XIII. 135, has used the day of birth, but without turn. to the almanac, call. it the day of bapt. Worse error than this readers may be led into by tak. the order of the ch. where Sarah is rank. under 12, as the youngest d. when she was the eldest of the eight ds. if not of the thirteen ch. Timothy, again, whose date is not found; and one more s. if Mather, III. 132, has correct. quot. his epit. wh. is doubted. His neighb, Johnson, so many yrs. his parishioner, speaks of ch. “their numb. being ten, both s. and ds. a certain sign of the Lord's intent to people this vast wilderness,” he adds, with juster application of the doings of Providence, than he usual. exhibits. He was b. at Canterbury, in Co. Kent, 5 Apr. 1599, s. of Rev. William, matric. 1617 at Emanuel, and took at the Univ. of Cambridge his A.
