We can trace this Medford family to Nassau, in the Island of New Providence, thecapital of the Bahamas. In 1672, the English government sent .Mr. Collingworth to superintend the settlement of that island and its chief city b\ Englishmen. The attempt succeeded but imperfectly ; because the coasts were infested with pirates, and the Spanish were moved bj jealousy to check English power. Mr. Collingworth, after a few years, resigned his office in despair; and the govern- tppointed Mr (.'lark governor of the island, and gave him means tor sustaining himself. The early English settlers wire selected for their energy and enterprise; and they fixed on Nassau as their central port. The place grew and flourished; but its Spanish enemies were numerous and bloodthirsty. They made a sudden and warlike descent upon it. and cap- tured the brave Clark; ami, in order to show their future intention-, the) " roasted the Eng- alive." In one of these barbaric assaults, in 1G99, the unoffending inhabitants hi to the sword; and two little children were that day made orphans. One was named John Albree, who was born in 1688; and the other was his sister, Elizabeth, win. was three years younger. The brother fled with hi- Bister to Beek protection in a Boston vessel, which was there for cargo. The captain knew that the tragic story of the children was true; and, witli the characteristic warmth of a sailor's heart, he took the weeping orphans to his arms, ami nil. red to bring them to Boston and provide tor them. They accepted, but wished Something from their father's house.

I. oh in the year 1700, John Ubree and Elizabeth Albree arrived in Boston, and were ten- derly cared tor by the family oi the captain who brought them. They wen- put t.> school, and taught to labor; and, when John was fourteen years old, he was indented as an apprentice, . to a weaverin Maiden. [lis master found him a silent and thoughtful boy, and made him a good weaver. His sister, at her own request, became an inmate of his mas- amily.

His sister became his housekeeper. In May, 1711. he married a near relative of Governor Belcher,— Miss i. tie, of Boston. When his first child was burn, he wished t.. have it bap- tized, and named Joseph in honor of it- grandfather ; but not knowing whether he himself had aptized, either in England or New Providence, he resolved to ask baptism for himself; and on I 6,1718,hen ite, and then offered his son.

He was made a freeman in 1636; and, two years afterAvards, his name, which had disap] eared from the Water- town records, is to be seen on those of Concord, where he was constable in 1638. He settled in this latter town, and owned larye estates there; in consequence, he was appointed to the various town-offices. In 1660, he, with his son-in-law, Timothy "Wheeler, bought lour hundred acres of land in Medford, for four hundred and four pounds sterling, which he owned at the time of his death. His farm in Medford was bought of Edward Collins, and thus probably a part of the great Cradock estate. He sold his farm in Concord, Oct. 22, 1664; and he died there, May 21, 1667. His wife was Grace , who died May 12, 1664. His children were — 1- 2 Joshua, b. freeman, 1652; m. Han.

His ancestors arc said to have had large possessions in Haverhill and Methuen • and, as lately as 1798, Mr. Swan was urged to prosecute his claims by persons of respectable standing, one of whom, a pub- lic officer, desired to purchase a part of his claim. From a deli- cate sense of justice, Mr. Swan and his oldest son firmly refused to entertain the idea. In March, 1746, he m. Joanna Richard- son, of Woburn, and had children as below.

The old tablet removed by Mr. Hall was of red sandstone, and contained the fol- lowing inscriptions : — " Here lyeth interred the body of Major Jonathan Wade, Esquire, who departed this life the 24th of November, anno Doin. 1G89, in the 53J year of his age. " Also the body of Dorothy Wade, wife to said Jonathan Wade, Esquire, daughter of Hon- ourable Thomas Dudley, Esquire, deceased the 1st of November, 1G38, in the 40th year of her age.

The second volume, covering the period between the years 1718 and 1S09, contains many dates of which the limits of this work forbid the insertion. For the assistance of any who may have traced their genealogy to a Medford stock, a list is here inserted of the names not previously mentioned, which are to be found in the second volume of the town-records, and the dates of their appearance thereon.

As to the strangers who are mentioned on our records, I find that Adrian Lubert Andriesse, of Batavia, was born in Boston, Feb. 9, 1799, and baptized at Medford, July 7, 1805. Charles Dabney's child, which Mr. Albree had to nurse, was baptized July 4, 1742, and named Charles. Of those not of American birth or parentage, I find, besides the slaves and their children, that Jacob Auld, one of the " Scotch-Irish," had, by wife Ann, a daughter, Margaret, born Mar. 19, 1750. There seems to have been some Irish families as early as 1745 ; but these are named in the foregoing list. There remains one class of unwilling settlers in our town, — the Acadians ; or French Neutrals, as they are called on our records. Of these exiles from Grand Pre, three arc mentioned on the records, as follows : — Eunice, wife of John- Degkusiia, was bapt. Feb. 12, 1744. Johx Lb Bosquet, and Sarah, his wife, had — Joseph, b. Jan. 12, 1781. Rebecca, „ Jan. 19, 1783. John Tebodo had, by Ann his wife, — Ann, b. July 4, 1757. Elizabeth, „ Nov. 1, 1759. Joseph, „ Feb. 24, 1762. The name of Le Bosquet, preserved in recollection by the Le Bosquet house, has been corrupted into Burkit. Of the others, I know not whether they removed from town, or whether any descendants yet remain. CORRIGENDA. Page 6. There is evidently an error in the record of George Blanchard's death. The date probably refers to his father, or other relative. „ 10. Thomas Brooks had lot assigned 1634, not 1631. ,, 10. Hannah, second wife of Caleb Brooks (No. 1-3), was born March 5, 1644. ,, 22. John Hall (No. 2-10) married Jemima, daughter of Captain Joseph Sill. ,, 23. Percival Hall was not representative to Provincial Congress, as he died twenty-two years previously. ,, 42. Mr. Savage declines the responsibility of more than the early part of the record of the Royalls. „ 42. The wife of Isaac Hoyall (No. 2-5) was buried from the house of Dr. Oliver, at Dorchester; which strengthens the probability of her first marriage. He had a daughter Elizabeth, born 1741 ; died July 9, 1747. ,, 42. Colonel Royall (No. 5-11) had a daughter, who married George Erving, of Boston. He (Colonel R.) died 1781; and his wife died 1770. „ 46. Rev. Zechariah Symmes had twelve children ; names as given in their place. ,, 54. There is no probability, considering the dates, that James (No. 246) was son of Peter (No. 1). „ 59. Lydia, wife of Daniell Turell (No. 1), died June 23, 1659. ,, 59. Daniel was captain 1683, not 1046. ,, 60. Hezekiah Usher (No. 1) married, first, Frances . Hannah (No. 5) was daugh- ter by second wife, and was born Dec. 29, 1653. He married his second wife, Nov. 2, 1652. ,, 60. Hezekiah (No. 1-2) married Bridget Hoar, 1686, and had no children. All those under that record — viz., Nos. 15, 16, 17 —belong to Hezekiah No. 1. John Usher married Elizabeth Slidgett not Sidgett. Jonathan Wade (No. 1) had Mary, baptized October, 1663, who married William Symonds ; also daughter Sarah. Prudence (No. 5) married, second, Rev. Seaborn Cotton. Jonathan (No. 1-2) had Deborah, baptized March 24, 1667 ; Prudence, June 6, 1669 ; Catharine, Aug. 27, 1671, — died soon; Catharine, June 22, 1673; Susanna, Juno 10, 1677; Dorothy, July 10, 1081; all before Dudley (No. 2-8). I am authorized to say that John Willis was very probably the same as No. 3-11. )J 60. " 62 )J 62. )> 02.

He owned much property in Medford ; and his oldest son, John, having removed to Bedford, he resided there chiefly in his old age, and was so liberal a bene- factor to the church as to be mentioned with gratitude on the records. His daughters all left issue; and one of them, Susanna, left descendants, now living in Lexington, by the name of Chandler, who still preserve some relics of their ancestor. The family of Lane, when it emigrated from England, left property there, the rents of which were paid to the heirs, John Whitmore's descendants included, until within fifty years, when the heirs, being nume- rous, sold the estate, and divided it. sybtCS^,^? 5-24 Samuel Whitmore, jun., of Lexington, m.

John Whitmore was of Wethersfield, Conn., in lC40,as, in February of that year, Richard Westcoat, for misleading him, was fined ten shillings. In 1041, he removed to Stamford, with others, who settled under the direction of Rev. Richard Dunton, and had been sojourners at Watertown, Mass. A list of his farms in Wethersfield is here given: — The second month and fifth day, 1641, the lands of Jo. "Whitmore, lying in Wethersfield, on Connecticut River. One piece whereon his house and barn standeth, containing twelve acres and half, more or less: bounds and abut against the Common, or Landing-place, and against the house-lot of Robert Batts, west, and the meadow of Francis , east; the sides against the lands of Rob. Batts and Tho. Curtice, north, and the lands of Tho. , F ranc i s f Mr. Denton, Jo. , and Tho. Coleman, south. One piece of meadow and swamp lying in the Great Meadow, containing three acres three roods, more or less: bounds abut against the highway, west, and Connec- ticut River, east; the sides against the meadow of Mr. Evarts, south, and Rich. , north. One piece lying in Beaver Meadow, containing two acres, more or less : bounds abut against the highway, north, and the lands of Mr. Talcott, south; the sides against the lands of Fran. Horton, east, and Sam. Smith, west. One piece lying in the AVet Swamp, containing four acres, more or less: bounds abut against a way leading to Beaver Meadow, west, and the swamp of Gor. Hub- bard, east; the sides against the land of Mr. Evarts, north, and Mr. Sherman, south. One piece in the east side of Eastfield, being dry swamp, containing seven acres three roods, more or less: bounds abut against a way leading from Beaver Meadow into Mile Meadow, west, and the middle land, east; the sides against the lands of Ro. Gil- dersleeve, south, and Ro. Parke, north. One piece lying on the east side of Connecticut River, containing four and fifth acres, more or less: bounds abut the river, west, and lands of , east; the sides against the lands of John Robins, south, and Jeffcry , north. One piece lying in Penny Wise, containing three acres, more or less: bounds abut against the highway, west, and the Great River, east; the sides against the lands of John Nott, south, and Jonab Weed, north. One piece lying in the West Field, containing acres two roods, more or less: bounds abut against the highway, south, and Hartford Bounds, north; the sides against the lands of John , east, and Ro. Abott, west. 94 APPENDIX. One other piece also lying in the West Field, containing fifteen acres and a half, more or less: bounds abut against tho highway, south, and Hartford Bounds, north; the sides against tho lands of Robt. Abott, east, and John Jesiopt, west. In 1043, he was killed by the Indians; and the following account is transcribed from Hazard's State Papers, p. 127: — [1049.] "The Commissioners for New Haven informed the rest of tho Commission- ers, that, in or about October last, John Whitmore, one of the deputies of Stanford, a peaceable, inoffensive man, not apt to quarrell, or provoke any of the Indians, going forth to seek his cattell, returned not according to expectation, nor could be found by the English that sought him; but, quickly after, the son of a Sogamore who lives near Stanford came into the towne, and told the English that John Whitmore was murdered by one Torquattoes, an Indian ; and, to prove it, that Torquattoes had some of his clothes, and particularly his shirt, made of cotton-linnen. Herovpon the English and some Indians went into the woods to take the murthcrcd body for buriall; but, though they bestowed much time and labore, could not find it. Divers of the English at Stanford suspected the Sogamore's son to be either the author or tho accessory of this murder, but had not satisfying grounds to seize and charge him. " About two or three months after, Uncas coming to Stanford, calling the Indians thither, and inquiring after the murdered body, the fore-mentioned Sogamore's son, and one Rohoron, another suspected Indian, led some of the English, and some of Uncas his men, to the place where the murdered body, or the relicts of it, lay. The carcase was brought to Stanford: the Sogamore's son and Rohoron fell on trembling, and thereby confirmed the suspicion of the English, and wrought suspicion in some of tho Mohegin Indians, so that they said those two Indians were nought, meaning they were guilty. " John Whitmore's widow, both by messengers and letters, presses for justice ; and other Indians grow more insolent, and censure tho English for want of due prosecu- tion in such a case." A General Courto in Hartford, the 13th of Sept., 1049: — " This Courte, taking into serious consideration what may bee done, according to God, in way of revenge of the bloude of John Whitmore, late of Stanford, and well weighing all circumstances, together with the carriages of the Indians (bordering therevppon) in and about the premisses, doe declare themselves that they doc judge it lawfull, and according to God, to inako warr vppon them." — Pub. Records of Conn., p. 197. The following affidavit is on the Stamford Records: — " March 7, 1049. — The testimony of John Whitmore his wife, being no ... . Goodwife Whitmore affirmeth yt her husband Bold to her son John .... five acres land on yo plane . . . ." Another, from the same source (both being defective and partly illegible on tho records), says, — " . . . . Yt Rro. Whitmore told him he had sold his son John five acres, in yo East Field, <>n ye playne; and, if it did not como to so much, he would make it up in ye other plain, and so make it good: it lay in yt plain; and this land was Ro. Fisher's, by gift from yo Cortc." This John Whitmore, jun., mentioned in tho preceding, is no doubt tho one who had a dau., Sarah, born at Hartford, Dec. 16, I' APPENDIX. 95 Thomas Wditmore married Sarah Hale, at Hartford, Dec. 11, 1G45, and bad — John, bapt. Sept. (J, 1646. Sarah, „ Apr. 20, 1651. And many others. His descendants spell their name Wetmore. Francis Whitmore, of Cambridge, owned lands there, near the Plain ; near Charles River, by the Boston line; in Charlestown, near Minottamie; near Dunbarke's Mea- dow; and also in Medfurd and Lexington. His house stood on the dividing line between Cambridge and Lexington, and is mentioned in the act of division. He served in the Indian wars, under Major Willard, as the Treasurers' books witness. His name, with his wife's, stands on a petition in favor of an old woman charged with being a witch; hence he can hardly have been of the extreme Puritan party, although a member of the church. He was, however, a selectman, &c, in the town, and his name is often to be met with on the deeds, wills, &«., of the early settlers in that town. An account of his wife's family is in Jackson's History of Newton, Mass. His will is here inserted: — " After the payment of my just debts, I do give unto my loving wife the use and enfeofment of my whole estate, in housing, lands, and movables (excepting that part of my land by me already given unto my son Samuel), during her widowhood, for her livelihood, and for the bringing up of my three youngest children, and for the expending of what learning she shall be able upon them. But, if she marry to another man, my will is that she shall have thirty pounds out of my movable estate, to dispose of as she shall see meet. To my two youngest sons, Thomas and Joseph, I do give my housing, barns, and my part of the new mill, with all my lands thereunto belonging; excepting that part of the land by me set out and delivered to my son Samuel, which shall be the full of his portion, he not to share in any after-division of any part of my estate to be equally divided between them. They to enter upon the possession thereof at the age of twenty and one years of age, if their mother be not then living; but if she be then living, and continue my widow, she shall not be dis- possessed of any part of my estate during her life. Also my will is, that what of my do remain at my wife's decease or marriage, which of them shall first happen, with what each of my children have already had being added thereuntg, shall be equally divided among them, to each an equal share. My two youngest sons to have the housing and lands as aforesaid, and to pay out of them, to the rest of my children, that which shall be accounted due to them, as followeth: My eldest son, Francis, his part to be due him two full years after the possessing of my youngest sun of the hous- ing and lands as aforesaid; the second, two years after; the third, two years after; and so, successively, till all be paid. To my grandchildren of Daniel Markham, which he had by my daughter Elizabeth, I do give to each of them twenty shillings out of my estate. Also I do nominate my loving friends, William Locke, sen., of Woburn, and Francis Moore, of Cambridge, to bo my executors of this my last will. " Sth m. 8th day, 1GS5." The estate was valued at £305. 9s. — Middlesex Recs., liber 6, p. 270. 96 APPENDIX. The petition of Rachel Whitmore, before mentioned (see John, No. 3), is as fol- lows: — To the Hon. Simon Bradstreet, Esq., Governor, and the rest of the Honorable Magis- trates now sitting in Boston, the humble petition of Rachell Whitmore, wife of John Whitmore. Whereas, your petitioner's husband was impressed into the countrye's service against the Indian enemy, and is now with Major Swayne at Newechawanick, and your petitioner and her two children are very weak and ill, and unable to help our- selves, and do any thing for our relief and the rest of the family, as severall of the neighbors can and have informed your honors, — Doth therefore humbly request the favor from your honors, that her husband, John Whitmore, may be dismissed the present service; and that your honors would please to pass your order for the same, that he may return to his sick family ; and your peti- tioner shall, as in duty bound, ever pray, &c. Rachel Whitmore. Mass. Records, lib. 35, p. 34. Francis Whitmore (No. 1) died Oct. 12, 1G85: his birth is ascertained, by two affidavits on file at Cambridge, to have been in 1625. Concerning the three families of Whitmore, Wetmore, and Whittemore, all researches show the present bearers of the first name to be descended from Francis Whitmore, of Cambridge; of the second name, from Thomas Whitmore, of Middle- town; of the last name, from Thomas Whittemore, of Maiden. I regard the first two as descended from the same stock ; but the third is, and has been, a distinct name in England. It would be useless, at present, to speak of any families of the name now or formerly in England; but it may be worth while to note that the mode of spelling was Whitmore as far back as 1200. In conclusion, in submitting this sketch of a family record to my cousins, near and remote, I must beg them to prove their forgiveness of all errors herein contained, by sending me the materials to correct them, and to complete the account of all the descendants of Francis AVhitmoke.
