 This Genealogy is arranged on what is known as the "Register 
 plan," approved by the N. E. Historic Genealogical Society. The 
 emigrant Andrew is 1. Following the sketch of his life are the 
 names of his children (see page 11) ; the number prefixed to one 
 or more of these children indicates that such a child becomes the 
 head of a farail}', an account of which will be found under the 
 corresponding number on a subsequent page. Thus, Andrew's 
 son Jonathan, on page 11, has the number 3 at the left. On turn- 
 ing to page 18, under 3 in the middle of the line, his family will 
 be found. There, his son Jonathan is numbered 7 ; turning for- 
 ward until 7 is found (see page 19), particulars concerning this 
 Jonathan are given; his son Daniel, (17) is found in consecutive 
 numerical order on page 31 ; and so of the other families. 
 
 The italic names which follow the name of the head of a family 
 show the direct line of descent from Andrew; thus Daniel (17), 
 page 31, is followed in italics by Jon<ithan^^ Jonathan^^ Andrev^^ 
 signifying that Daniel* was son of Jonathan,^ who was son of 
 Jonathan,^ who was son of Andrew^; the small figures after the 
 name show the generations, reckoning Andrew as the first.

INTRODUCTION. 
 
 TiiK collection of material for a Genealogy of the descendants of 
 Andrew Dewing of Dedhani, the results of which are given in the 
 following pages, has occupied the leisure hours of the compiler for the 
 last seven years. The foundation of the work was based on various 
 manuscript notes made from time to time by the late Benjamin H. 
 Dewing, of Revere (the father of the compiler), some of which may 
 be found in the Library of the New England Historic Genealogical 
 Society, on Somerset Street, Boston. lie had successfully traced his 
 direct ancestral line to the emigrant Andrew, but had given little study 
 to the collateral lines of his descendants. 
 
 To amplify and extend this material, and to bring those various lines 
 down to the present time, as completely as possible, has been the effort 
 of the compiler. In gathering this material he has been fairly successful, 
 thanks to the assistance of various members of the family. With the 
 exception of the descendants of William Dewing (son of Ephraim, 35), 
 who seems to have gone to C^entral New York about 1850, and of the 
 two younger sons (Leonard and Andrew) of Andrew (14), concerning 
 whom he has not been able to obtain any information beyond the dates 
 of the birth of one and of the baptism of both, as found in the Natick 
 Records, the several lines of most of the male descendants of the first 
 Andrew, and in a large number of cases of the daughters also, are now 
 traced. 
 
 The compiler has generally given credit in the foot notes to authori- 
 ties cited, and to correspondents, when information thus obtained has 
 heen utilized. His thanks are due to those who have so kindly aided 
 him in his researches. S])ecial acknowledgment is made for aid re- 
 ceived from Mrs. Mary Mind well Holmes, daughter of the late John 
 Dewing (52) ; to the family of the late Rev. Thomas S. Dewing (104), 
 
iv Introduction. 
 
 for notes which he had gathered; to the late Ely B. Dewing (74), and 
 to Mr. Albert E. 15eckwith, of Elkhorn, Wis. He is also indebted to 
 George K. Clarke, Esq., for oj^portunities to consult the early Needham 
 Church records of births and baptisms, 1728-1806; to Mr. Wm. P. 
 Greenlaw, Librarian of the N. E. Historic Genealogical Society, and to 
 Mr. Henry E. Woods, Editor of the Register, in which four generations 
 of Andrew's descendants were given, for valuable suggestions, and to 
 Mr. Wm. T. R. Marvin, who has supervised the work of printing. 
 
 It will be observed that we have avoided a definite statement in the 
 text as to the maiden name of the first wife of Andrew. Some reason 
 for believing that she was Lydia Goodnow (or Goodenough, as some- 
 times spelled), will be found in the foot-note on page 7, where it is 
 stated that Lydia's father was probably John Goodnow, of Sudbury, 
 Mass., who came in 1638 with his wife Jane and daughters Lydia and 
 Jane, in the " Confidence ; " he is called a husbandman, aged 42, and 
 was therefore born about 1596. He was made a freeman June 2, 1641 ; 
 selectman of Sudbury in 1644, and died there Mar. 28, 1654, leaving 
 a nuncupative will. His widow died July 15, 1666; her will, July 7, 
 1662, mentions her daughter Jane, wife of Henry Wight, of Dedham, 
 and their cliildren, but does not name Lydia ; this omission is no doubt 
 due to the fact that the latter died in 1651, if she was the wife of 
 Andrew. Barry does not mention Lydia, but Roberts, in his History 
 of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company, in which he calls 
 Andrew, " Duren," says without qualification that he married Lydia 
 Goodnow. We have been unable to learn his authority, and it has 
 seemed best on the whole to leave this for furtlier investigation. From 
 the Dedham Tax List in Dedham printed records (Vol. V., p. 214), it 
 appears that his widow Ann was taxed as late as 1691 ; her death is not 
 given in the town or church records. 
 
 We find several references here and there in Volumes I, II and IV 
 of the Dedham Town Records, jsrinted under the supervision of Don 
 Gleason Hill, to one Henry Duein — the name variously spelled — who 
 was living there at the same time with Andi'ew. He was taxed there 
 1663 to 1670, inclusive; Dec. 28, 1666, "Henry Duen is allowed to 
 
Introduction. v 
 
 sojourn at House of Daoiel Pond pvided he demeane himself as he 
 ought." Dec. 20, 1667, "Henry Duein to have liberty to sojourn at 
 house of Joli: Gay." Apr. 14, 1669, " Hen: Duen [allowed to] sojourn 
 with his vnckle Haward both engaging to answer the Law." May, 
 1665, Henrj^ Deuing signs a j^etition to the General Court, and a fac- 
 simile of his autograph is given in Volume IV, p. 277. He is recorded 
 on the same Records as having died Feb. 4, 1708/9. Perhaps he went 
 to Boston from Dedham, for we find in the Reports of the Record 
 Commissioners of Boston (1881 and 1886), several references to one 
 Henry Duen, Henry Dewin, and other spellings of the name, down to 
 1707. We have not been able to learn whether these two were identi- 
 cal, but as the name disappears from Boston records so short a time 
 before the Dedliam record of Henry's death, it seems probable that the 
 Boston and Dedham entries refer to the same individual. We have 
 also been unable to establish any relationship between this Henry of 
 Dedham, and Andrew,^ though there is some ground for believing that 
 they Avere connected. Savage thinks Henry may have been a son of 
 Andrew, for reasons to be mentioned presently, but we find no allusion 
 to the birth of such a son on the Dedham records. 
 
 Henry's " Uncle Hay ward " was doubtless John Hay ward (or Hey- 
 wood*), who was, according to Bond, a proprietor of Watertown in 
 1636-7. The Dedham records say "John Hayward of y^ Church of 
 Watertown was joined to y^ fellowship of this Church 19 d. 11 mo. 
 1644." (Bond gives the year as 1649/50.) He was a man of some 
 prominence in Dedham, and represented the town in the General Court. 
 By his will, dated July 31, 1672, and proved Feb. 19, 1672/3, it appears 
 that he was then of Charlestown, Mass., and aged 79; he was there- 
 fore born about 1593 ; he died Dec. 29, 1672. He married Mrs. Mary 
 Judson, who died Ajsr. 24, 1684. The executors were his widow and Rev. 
 Samuel Phillips of Rowley. A half-sister of John married Rev. George 
 Phillips. His Inventory shows he owned lands in Watertown, Dedham 
 and Charlestown ; some of the Dedham land was near, if not adjoining, 
 
 * There are various other si^ollings. 
 
vi Introduction. 
 
 Andrew Dewing's estate. lie seems to have had no children of his 
 own ; his will names four children of his wife Mary* — sons, Thomas and 
 Samuel Aldrich, and daughters Sarah and Esther. He left £5 to " Henry 
 Duren,"and 20 shillings to each of the five children of "Andrew Duren,'' 
 with other legacies. No relationship to Andi-ew appears in the will, but 
 it will be seen that the total amount left to Andrew's five children is 
 the same as that left to Henry individually. The only descendant of 
 Andrew who bore the name of Henry, so far as we have been able to 
 discover, was a grandson, born after Hayward died. To be a nephew 
 of Hayward, Henry Dewing, by his name, must have been such by 
 marriage ; but we know nothing to show the name of Henry's father, 
 or that the maiden name of Hayward's wife was Dewing ; the relation- 
 shij) may have been by an earlier marriage. If a son of Andrew, it is 
 difl&cult to see any reason why Henry received five times as much as 
 either of his brothers or sisters, unless he was the eldest son. Henry 
 was perhaps the son of a brother of Andrew, of which we have no evi- 
 dence. These questions must be left for some future inquirer. 
 
 There are other families in America who bear the name of Dewing, 
 but who are not descendants, nor, so far as known, in any way con- 
 nected with Andrew (1). Information concerning some of these has 
 been obtained, and as these families are of English descent, — show- 
 ing that the name is preserved in the mother country, — we place 
 upon record a few of the data which have been furnished the com- 
 piler. A further and careful investigation of the facts thus supplied 
 might possibly suggest the desired clue to the English home of the first 
 settler, our ancestor Andrew, should some future student of the Dewing 
 line be disposed to undertake an examination of the early jjarish 
 registers in the neighborhoods where these later emigrants once resided, 
 or to make a search for ancient Dewing wills. It is quite probable that 
 such a search in the archives of Somerset House, London, w^hich con-

Introduction. vii 
 
 tain records wliereby many American families have been enabled to find 
 their ancestral home, would yield results of great interest and value. 
 
 The importance to students of New England family history of these 
 sources of knowledge, to which the late Mr. W. S. Appleton first called 
 attention, has been demonstrated by Mr, Waters in his "Gleanings," 
 and more recently by Mr. Lea, and other genealogists. The design of 
 the com]>iler, however, did not include an attemjit to trace the history 
 of the Dewing family previous to the appearance of its founder in 
 Dedliam. 
 
 The recent history of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company, 
 of which Andrew^ was a member as stated above, says that he came 
 from Lincolnshu-e. It is well known that for centuries there have been 
 Dewings in the neighboring County of Norfolk (separated from Lincoln- 
 shire by "the Wash"), and a few notes on descendants of some of the 
 Norfolk Dewings will be found in the Apj)endix to this volume. There 
 is an ancient armorial family of this name, which has a seat at Carbrooke, 
 whose arms are given by Burke, — " Gules, on a chevron argent, three 
 cinquefoils sable." * " Crest, a greyhound's head erased, argent, collared 
 and ringed gules." f The same crest is given by Fairbairn (p. 129), 
 and other authorities. 
 
 There was also a family with the name " Dewin," a spelling used on 
 the Dedham records, in Gwinear, Cornwall, England, in the sixteenth 
 century, given in the Visitation of that County in 1620 (edited by 
 Vivian and Drake, and published in London, 1874), whose arms, both 
 in tinctures and charges, are almost identical with those of the Norfolk 
 family, the only difference being that the cinquefoils of the Cornwall 
 family are "slipped" (having a stem, thus suggesting a fiower).| The 
 similarity of these arms may possibly indicate that there was some con- 
 nection, more or less distant, between these families, but we liave no 
 
 * This may be interpreted : three five-lobed rosettes of black on a white 
 chevron placed on a red shield. 
 
 t That is, the head and part of the thi'oat of a white greyhound, which has 
 a red collar and ring about his neck; the lower line of the neck is irregular, as 
 if torn away.

viii Introduction. 
 
 information on this point, and it would be foreign to the purpose of the 
 compiler to discuss it. It is proper to add that no evidence whatever 
 has been found, to show that Andrew of Dedham was even remotely 
 connected with either the Norfolk or Cornwall branch of the families 
 of his name. 
 
 A common impression prevails among those who are not familiar with 
 the laws of Heraldry, that armorial devices appertain to the name., but 
 nothing is more erroneous. Burke has the arms of another Dewing 
 family in England, which are entirely different fi'om those described 
 above, which have been given merely as of possible interest to the 
 reader. While it may be that some of the descendants of the English 
 branch in Norfolk who are given in the Apj^endix, may fairly claim a 
 right to the Norfolk Dewing arms, that is a matter of which we have 
 no knowledge and express no opinion. It is certain that no descendant 
 of Andrew has thus far proved any right to use them, and unless some 
 future investigator shall discover the English home and ancestor, and 
 be able to show that that ancestor had a right to armorial bearings, 
 the use of either of the devices alluded to would imply a claim with- 
 out foundation, a pretence without any justification. 
 
 There is a tradition that Andrew Dewing doubted the equity of his 
 title to the lands assigned him, bounded in part by the Charles River, 
 and Dewing Brook (near Wellesley College), which rested upon the 
 grants under the Royal Charter ; that he might hold it with an easy 
 conscience, he is said to have purchased it a second time from the Indian 
 chief Waban, paying him therefor in blankets, tobacco, beads, etc., to 
 the entire satisfaction of the original owner. Whether this be true we 
 are unable to say, but it is clear that such a man would have scorned to 
 use the armorial devices of a family to which he had no right, and we 
 can hardly doubt that his descendants will be found equally con- 
 scientious.

ANDREW DEWING 
 
 AND 
 
 HIS DESCEKDAE^TS. 
 
 Andrew^ Dewing, the date and place of whose birth is un- 
 known, appears on the Dedhara, Mass., " Towne Booke," among 
 the subscribers to the "Covenant," as " Andr: Duein." The name 
 is also variously spelled, in records of that town, Duing, Duinge, 
 Dewin, Duin, Duen, Deuin, Dewein, Dueing, and Deuing. The 
 date of his signing the Covenant does not appear. It is thought 
 he settled in the part of Dedham that, in 1711, was set off as 
 Needham. His name appears in Wliitman's History of the An- 
 cient and Honorable Artillery Company (2d ed., p. 143) as a 
 member, in 1644, from Natick; but he probably resided nearer that 
 place than the settlement at Dedham, and perhaps on what was 
 afterward known as the Ridge Hill farm in Wellesley, part if 
 not all of which was owned by the Dewing descendants until 
 1811. He was received into the First Church in Dedham, 19 d. 
 2 m. 1646 ; and was made freeman, May 6, 1646, 
 
 The Dedham Town records say : " At a General Town Meeting 
 1651 y^ First of the eleventh mo: called Januarie Andr: Duein 
 [with five others] admitted Townesmen." * He was elected sur- 
 
 * The " Covenant," recorded in the " Towne Booke " of Dedham, and printed 
 in the volume of Records of the Town and Selectmen, 168(5-1059, shows that a 
 somewhat different custom obtained in Dedham from that in other old New 
 England towns, in regard to admission to the privileges of citizenship — 
 " Euery man so receaued" as a townsman (i. e. citizen), was required to sub- 
 cribe his name to the Covenant. Andrew's is 104 on the list. See Dedham 
 Town Recs., as cited above, vol. iii: pp. 3, 135.

 veyor at the same meeting, and was again elected to that office 
 1661 ; he was fence viewer for several years, and constable 1663 
 or '64 ; he also served the town on some important committees. 
 On 14 d, 10 m. 1664, "A bill is orderd to be giuen to Andr. 
 Duein to receaue of the Constable 20^ for killing 2 woolues in 
 the Towne." * A report of Major Daniel Gookin presented to the 
 Council, Nov. 10, 1676, regarding the disposition of Christian In- 
 dians at or near the close of the Indian war, 1676, mentions "a 
 Second Company" who "were near Natick garrison-house under 
 the inspection of Andrew Dewin & his sons, who desired to live 
 near them;" their number was "about fifty — ten men & forty 
 womin & children."! 
 
 In 1667, or earlier, he acquired rights with the other citizens of 
 Dedham in what was later the town of Deerfield. 
 
 At a Town Assembly to make the rate to pay for the purchase of the 
 Indian rights at " paucomptucke " (Deerfield), 2, 8, 1667 : 
 
 " Vpon searious consideration and debateiug the case respecting the 
 payem' aboue specified it is concluded that the charge of that purchase 
 must be defrayed by the ppriators in the Land at Pocomptucke, and 
 to be assesed vpon them by the rule of C-ow Comons, accounting 14 
 Acres or therabout to each Comon and that the Lands allready granted 
 in sattisfaction to them that layed out the whole 8000 acres shall beare 
 pportion in this charge, acre for acre equally with each other acre there 
 . . . 4ms asessed upon each Cow Comon "...." Andr : Duein assessed 
 £0L00.00 " % 
 
 The Dedham Records show the taxes charged against him for 
 country, town, and school rates in various years, from which it is 
 evident that he was in comfortable circumstances. In 1662, 92 
 were assessed and his name is the twenty-seventh on the roll of the 
 amounts paid; in 1673, in the rate for building a new meeting- 
 house, etc., his tax rate is tenth on a list of 104 ; in 1675 it is 
 eighth on a list of 102.

 The Eighth day of the seventh month called September. I Andrew Dewin 
 of Dedliam in the County of Suffolk in New England being weake in body 
 yet of abillety of mind by the goodness of God doe make this my Last Will 
 and Testament for the Settling of that Estate of which the Lord hath made 
 me liis Steward. ^Vnd first of all my desire is to Commit my Soule into the 
 hands of Jesus Christ my Saviour and my body to the earth from whence it 
 was taken therein to be intered after my decease in decent and Christian 
 manner at the discretion of my Executrix. 
 
 And my will is to Give and bequeath unto Anne my well beloved wife 
 and to her dispose all my Estate whatsoever that I have not particularly 
 disposed of in this my present will. 
 
 Also I Give and bequeath unto my Eldest Son Andrew Dewin one par- 
 cell of Upland Containing forty Acres lying south east from my houses and 
 buildings upon Charles Kiver on the south and Twelve acres of meadow 
 lying in Severall parcels which said parcel of up land & meadow the above 
 said Andrew ^ his heirs shall have the free use of during the time of my 
 wifes Life at which time my will is to give the above said parcels of Lands 
 with all the Improvements thereupon to Jonathan Dewin my youngest Son 
 and his heirs for Ever. 
 
 Also my will is to Give unto Andrew Dewin my Eldest sonn and to his 
 heires for Ever all my houses and lands which my wife die Seezed of and 
 further I Give unto Jonathan my youngest Sonn and to his heirs for Ever 
 Twenty acres of my Land lying at Natick divident when he shall attain to 
 Lawfull age. and the rest of my land in Natick divident I give unto the 
 above said Andrew and his heirs forever. 
 
 * The late Horace Mann of Natick thought it probable that Lydia's maiden 
 name was Goodenowe, and that she was a daughter of John Goodenowe, of 
 Semley, Wilts, who with his family — wife Jano and daughters .Jane and Lydia 
 — sailed in the ship "Confidence" from Southampton, Eng., in April, lOl^S, 
 and settled in Sudbury, Mass. Mr. Mann further wrote the compiler, that 
 "Andrew Dewing came in the same sliip as a servant of Goodnow," but we 
 have been unable to find his authority. It was not unusual for those who 
 desired to conceal their identity from the Government officials, when em- 
 barking for New England, to call themselves servants, thus escaping recog- 
 nition. For Goodenough, see Barry's History of Framingham, and Savage, 
 vol. ii : p, 272.

 Brookfield, says Solomon was b. 31 Jan., 1756, for which we have found no 
 other authoi'ity, and this differs from Church rec. cited.

 t Temple's History of North Brookfield, p. 705, calls her Lydia, but on p. 571 
 erroneously has Lucy. In a MS. copy by Henry E. Wait, of Births, Marriages 
 and Deaths in Brookfield, which is in the N. E. Hist. Gen. Soc. Library, Lydia's 
 birth is given on p. oil as June 5, 1753; Temple, p. 705, as cited, has 1752; the 
 latter agrees with the record which was furnished the compiler by the Town 
 Clerk. This, if correct, would make her age over 100; Temple, on p. 571, says 
 she was 94 at her death, thus again differing in his statements on different 
 pages.

 Jeremiah^ Dewing (^Solomon,^ Ayidrew,^ Andretv,^ Andrew^}, 
 born (probably) in 1762 ; baptized Mar. 4, 1764, in Natick, Mass., 
 by Rev. Stephen Badger (then recorded as about two years old, 
 Natick Church recs.) ; died in 1822, probably near St. Catharine's, 
 Canada, where he and his wife, who died within ten days of her 
 husband (both of Lake fever), are buried ; married Sept. 8, 1782, 
 in Brookfield, Mass., Prudence, probably daughter of Thomas and 
 Mary Dodge, (?) of Brookfield, born Oct. 16, 1765 (See Brook- 
 field Town recs.) ; death mentioned , abpye. .. ,Ely B.'^ Dewing (Ms 
 grandson) writes " He was perhaps a mason, as that was the call- 
 ing of tliree of his sons and of one or more of his grandsons." In 
 the absence of any definite information I conclude that he and 
 his wife, soon after marriage, went to New York, perhaps first to 
 Oxford, Chenango Co., where some of liis cliildren were born ; 
 then to Rome or Utica, Oneida Co. ; then to the vicinity of Lock- 
 port, Niagara Co., and lastly to Canada, with some of his sons. 
 He was a private in Capt. Timothy Paige's company. Col. John 
 Rand's regiment; enlisted July 5, 1780, discharged Oct. 10, 1780 ; 
 service o mos., 15 ds., travel included, at West Point. " On the 
 call of June 22, 1780, for 4726 men — new levies, — to re-enforce 
 the Continental army in R. I. for three months, the Second Pre- 
 cinct, by a committee, agreed with Jeremiah Dewing and Jude 
 Stevens [his brother-in-law (see 9, iv), and twelve others] for the 
 terms of service aforesaid, at the rate of three pounds each per 
 month, this sum to be paid in beef at 24 shill. per hund. ; rye at 
 4 shill. per bush. ; corn at 2s. 8d. or in paper currency equivalent 
 thereto, viz, at the rate of 90 for 1." *

 He married (2), Sept. 20, 1804, Mrs. Ada (Fisher), widow of Paul 
 Mills, of Needham, and daughter of Jeremiah and Sarah (Dean) 
 Fisher, born Sept. 9, 1769, in Dedham, Mass. (Fisher Gen.) ; died 
 Jan. 11, 1853. After the death of liis father he went, when a lad 
 of nine years, to live with Dea. Ephraim Wilson, of Dedham 
 (Dover district), where he remained until the day of the battle of 
 Bunker Hill, when, as he was an enrolled member of the Natick 
 company under command of Capt. James Mann, Col. Samuel 
 Bullard's regiment, he probably went with them to Cambridge, 
 where he remained, and joined the expedition to Quebec under 
 command of General Arnold. He was present at the assault on that 
 place, and is said to have been near General Montgomery when he 
 fell ; from Quebec he went to Ticonderoga, and was on the height 
 o]3posite, since known as Mount Independence, when the Declara- 
 tion of Independence was received. 
 
 He afterwards joined the Continental forces under General 
 Washington, and was present at the battle of White Plains, 
 N. Y., in the crossing of the Delaware river, and at Trenton and 
 Princeton, N. J. After the expiration of a year's service he re- 
 turned home, and enlisted a second time Aug. 15, 1777, in Capt. 
 Aaron Smith's company, Col. Benj. Gill's regiment, sent to rein- 
 force the Northern Army under General Gates, where he was

 again under the command of General Arnold, and served in that 
 campaign till after the surrender of General Burgoyne ; he was 
 discharged Nov. 19, 1777 ; service 3 months, 27 days, travel in- 
 cluded ; he re-enlisted Aug. 18, 1779, in Capt. Luke Hovrell's 
 company, Col. Nathan Tyler's regiment, service 3 months, 13 days 
 in Rhode Island ; his name appears as a sergeant in the same com- 
 pany, on the pay roll for Dec, 1779, allowing 1 month, 3 days' 
 service in Rhode Island.* Mar. 19, 1779, the town of Needham 
 voted to him and Elman^ Tolman (see 5, iii, 7), a bounty of X6. 
 13s. Aid. each, " for going into the Continental service for one year 
 in 1776 " (Needham ToAvn recs., vol. iii : x)p. 181, 184). " Commis- 
 sioned ensign 2d regiment, 1st division Mass. State militia, Dec. 
 2, 1791 ; promoted lieutenant May 5, 1797 ; captain in the 2d 
 regiment, 2d brigade, 1st division, Sept. 2, 1800 ; date of discharge 
 not given on roster, probably 1803." He was constable for the 
 westerly part of the town in 1785 ; chosen one of three tything- 
 men in 1790, and assessor 1796 ; he was one of a committee of 
 three in Fisher's school district to secure teachers and provide 
 wood for the school houses in 1792, '94 and '95 ; one of a com- 
 mittee of five " to build new school houses where needed, and re- 
 pair those that need repairing" in 1795. He was chosen one of 
 the highway surveyors Mar. 10, 1800, and 1800-1 and '05, one of 
 the school committee for the south district; he served the town 
 on other committees and in minor offices. He resided on the farm 
 inherited from liis father's estate, which included the portion of 
 Ids two brothers and sister, which he purchased Dec. 30, 1795 (Nor- 
 folk Co. Reg. of Deeds, vol. iv : p. 200). From deeds of land he 
 conveyed to others at various times, lie appears to have owned 
 about 200 acres, the last of which he sold to Ethel Jennings and 
 son, of Natick, Dec. 28, 1811 ; this is thought to have been the 
 last of the homestead land once owned by Andrew^ Dewing, and 
 occupied by some of each of the four succeeding generations. He 
 removed to the easterly part of the town, where he resided until 
 his death. He was placed on the U. S. Pension Roll, Mar. 5, 1819.

 July 11, 1761, in Needham, Mass. ; died Sept. 10, 1844, in Med-

 Mass., Betty Reed, died Sept. 10, 1844 (the same day with her hus- 
 band), aged 75. They resided in Dover, Bellingham and Medway. 
 He was a farmer, and owned land in Dover, which he sold Dec. 
 11, 1799. (Norfolk Co. Reg. of Deeds, vol. xv: p. 122.) Later 
 he owned a small place in Medway, which was disposed of by 
 his son, Elisha Dewing, who was named the executor. His will 
 was proved Nov. 5, 1844. 
 
Fifth Generation. 41 
 
 He enlisted Sept. 24, 1778, in Capt. Abel Ilicliarcls's company, 
 Col. Jonathan Cogswell's regiment, and was discharged Oct. 1, 
 1778, after nine days' service with guards at Boston. (Mass. 
 Soldiers and Sailors in the Rev., vol. v : p. 19.) " Money was 
 so hard in 1782 that the parish voted, at the annual meeting, to 
 give Peter Allen, Nathan Draper and Elijah Dewing one cow, 
 or the value thereof with interest, to each his third part for en- 
 gaging a limited time in the military service in the army." (Ded- 
 ham Hist. Reg., vol. iii, p. 27 : " Dover in the Revolution.") He 
 received a pension from the United States for service in the Mas- 
 sachusetts militia and the New York Continental Line, beginning 
 Mar. 4, 1831. (Mass. Pension Roll, p. 223.) 
 
 " Elisha Dewing" (probably an error for Elijah, as I find no 
 one of that name of suitable age) enlisted Oct. 25, 1779, as a 
 private in Capt. Thomas Vinson's company, Col. Jacob Gerrish's 
 regiment; discharged Nov. 23, 1779; service 1 month, 10 days, 
 travel included ; this regiment was raised in Essex and Suffolk 
 Counties (Mass. Soldiers and Sailors in the Rev.) ; it was ordered 
 to reinforce Gen. Washington, and was in service at Claverack, on 
 the Hudson.

 Sheldon, Vt. ; believed to have married (1), Lydia Bradway, born 
 Feb. 17, 1773, perhaps in Woodstock; died Feb. 20, 1843, in 
 Sheldon; married (2*), Mrs. Anna Evans, born Aug. 4, 1796, 
 who survived him. His son " Dolphus " administered his estate. 
 He probably removed from Woodstock after the birth of his first 
 child, who is recorded in the Family Bible, and remained a short 
 time at or near Hartford, Ct., where his second child was born ; 
 he was in Sheldon probably as early as 1795 or '96, where he pur- 
 chased of Samuel B. Sheldon 64} acres of land forflOO; deed 
 dated Apr. 12, 1808 (Sheldon Land recs., vol. i: p. 317), and 
 another piece of 20 acres, for -f 80 ; deed dated Oct. 26, 1808. 
 {Ibid., vol. ii : p. 185.) The town clerk writes : " I find on the 
 land records a continuous list of conveyances from about 1808 to 
 1861. His name appears frequently as buyer or seller from 1820 
 to 1855, in which year I find the following (in vol. viii) : Luke 
 and Anna Dewing (his wife) to Samantha Mitchell (a daughter) ; 
 consideration ?|6,000 ; deed dated Nov. 12, 1855. From the same 
 records it appears he was collector of taxes of the town 1814 to 
 1820." The town clerk adds: " He was a prominent man in the 
 early days of the town. A large farm in the town is known as 
 the Dewing farm at the present time (1898). None of the family 
 now reside here." He was a blacksmith and farmer.

 When a child of less tlian two years old, he fell on a 
 pile of burning chips in his father's yard, by which " he 
 was so badly burned that no jjortion of the fingers or 
 thumb on either hand could be saved," and even his life 
 was in great danger. Removing to Elkhorn with his 
 father's family in 1843, he became an accomplished 
 scholar, teaching at intervals for several years ; he ac-

 a ship-carpenter on the ship Sally Ann, Capt. Glover, of Need- 
 ham, to Liverpool, Eng. ; on the return voyage the weather was 
 rough and tempestuous, causing the vessel to leak ; she was also 
 chased by a privateer for quite a distance. He worked at his

 foreman of carpenters in building the dry-dock in CharlestoAvn, 
 and also at the forts in Boston Harbor ; he was deputy surveyor 
 of lumber in Boston, and was also interested in a paper manufac- 
 turing firm in Methuen, Mass., which was not successful. He 
 afterwards kept a grocery store on Lincoln Street, Boston, retiring

 two or three of his chikh'eii were born, he spent most of his life 
 in Needham (Wellesley). He also served the town of Need-

 inclusive. He was for several years Master of Meridian Lodge, 
 in wliich he was made a Mason in 1809, then located in Water-

 Andrew^ Dewing {AMjah,^ Jlezekiah,'^ Edmund,^ Andrew,'^ An-

 1883, in Westminster Society, Canterbury, Ct. ; married (1), May 
 11, 1835, Amy, daughter of Amasa and Lucy (Sanford) Bronson, 
 born Aug. 12, 1809, in Burlington, Ct. ; died Feb. 11, 1852, in

 born June 20, 1819, in Mansfield, Ct. ; died Mar., 1902. The 
 " Norwich Courier," of Apr. 23, 1883, contained a tribute to his 
 memory, from which the following is compiled : — Andrew Dewing 
 died, after a painful illness of sixty days, in Westminster Society, 
 Canterbury, whither his father removed in 1813, having purchased 
 it of the Rev. Mr. Staples, when Andrew was about four years 
 
Sixth Generation. 81 
 
 old. Here he was reared and educated in tlie craft of his father, 
 who was a blacksmith. He worked at his father's forge until lie 
 was of age, and then remained for two or three years longer, when 
 he settled in Collinsville, Ct., in the employment of the Collins- 
 ville Company, which manufactured axes, cutlery, etc. While 
 there he married, and several of liis children were born there. At 
 the close of liis engagement he bought a farm in Tolland, and 
 moved thither with liis wife and family. He was successful in 
 business, but did not remain long among the hills of Tolland ; in 
 1851, with his friend Dr. Eaton, he went to California, and added 
 largely to his fortune, but the health of his wife compelled him to 
 return the following j^ear, and she died soon after. About three 
 years after liis second marriage he bought his father's homestead 
 in Westminster, and resided there until liis death. He was one of 
 the pillars of the Westminster church, a man of deeds rather than 
 words, a wise and safe counsellor, modest and retiring, never court- 
 ing popularity nor seeking display, but never shrinking from duty, 
 even in the face of ridicule. A Christian patriot, he lent a strong 
 and ready helping hand in the Civil war ; he was a great reader of 
 history, and was well informed upon the progress of Christian mis- 
 sions. He will long be remembered for liis gentle and genial ways.

 in the lumber trade in Chicago, 111., but the health of his 
 wife required him to remove to Denver, Col., and aboiat a

 " Mr. Dewing was always a resident of North Brookfiekl, and 
 was educated in its public schools, but spent one year at Pierce 
 Academy, in Middleboro, Mass. In 1857 he entered the employ- 
 ment of the firm of E. & A. H. Batcheller, in their large shoe 
 manufactory, where he remained for tliirty-seven consecutive years, 
 during thirty of wliicli he had charge of the stitching or fitting- 
 room, Avith one hundred employees. He was elected selectman 
 in 1872, and held the position for the next ten years, a part of the 
 time as chairman. He was one of the board of assessors, a trustee 
 of the Public Library, and held other offices in the town. In the 
 fall of 1896 he was elected to represent the fourth district of 
 Worcester Co. in the Massachusetts Legislature, and was re-elected 
 the following year by an almost unanimous vote, there being only 
 twelve opposition votes. He was one of the directors of the 
 North Brookfield Railroad corporation from its organization in 
 1875 until his death, and Avas treasurer of the company for twenty- 
 one years previous to his death. He was a member of Meridian 
 Sun Lodge of Masons, and of Woodbine Lodge of Odd Fellows. 
 Eor tliirty-eight years he was a member of the First Congrega- 
 tional Parish of North Brookfield, and was chairman of its stand- 
 ing committee for several years. He was a companionable man, 
 a lover of a bright story or a pleasing anecdote. As a husband 
 and father, as a friend and public-spirited citizen, he may be said 
 with truth to have been most worthy." 
 
 The following Resolutions were passed at a meeting of the 
 selectmen of North Brookfield soon after Iris death : — 
 
 Whereas: Our fellow citizen John Bush Dewing has been called ajx))! to

 on various boards of officers of the town of North Brookfield, together with 
 his services as Treasurer of the North Brookfield "Railroad Coi-poration for 
 a period of twenty-one years, and his success and fidelity in many respon- 
 sible business positions, command our respect and esteem, therefore.

 died Aug. 7, 1902, in Elkhorn, Wis.; married Aug. 15, 1855, in 
 White Pigeon, Mich., Elizabeth, daughter of George and Theresa 
 (Sowerby) Dixon, born Apr. 1, 1834, in Yorkshire, England. He 
 resided in Elkliorn, where he was at one time engaged in the 
 dry-goods and clothing trade ; he was also a printer, and in con- 
 nection with that business did considerable editorial work and 
 was a correspondent for the newspaper press. In 1879 he was a 
 member of the Wisconsin Legislature ; from 1888 to 1895 he was 
 clerk of the Circuit Court for Walworth County. He was active 
 in the establishment of the Charles E. Sprague Free Library in 
 Elkhorn, and was its first president; to tliis library he and his 
 brother, Miron E. Dewing, contributed a large collection of vol- 
 umes. The Directors of the Free Library, in recognizing Mr. 
 Dewing's services to the Board, paid a tribute to liis memory, from 
 which we take the following : — 
 
 In the death of Hon. Ely Bruce Dewing this Board has lost its natural 
 leader. He was not only in years its senior member, but was second to no 
 member in his inteUigent knowledge of books. Because of his high per- 
 sonal character, his sound, clear judgment, his experience in public affairs, 
 his admirable temper and courteously easy manners, and his early and 
 serviceable good-will to the Library, it was eminently fit that he should be 
 first to fill the post of president, and that his term should end only with his 
 membership of this body. 
 
 It is therefore fit that some memorial of our late presiding ofiicer, our 
 well-esteemed fellow-worker, our now most regretfully remembered friend, 
 should be made part of the permanent record of the Board.

 Benjamin Hill' Dewing {Ehenezer,^ Nathan,^ Ehenezer,^ 
 Henry^ Andreiv^ Andi-ew^}, born Nov. 3, 1811, in West Roxbury, 
 Mass. ; died Sept. 28, 1890, in Revere, Mass. ; married (1), Nov. 
 27, 1834, by Rev. Ebenezer Burgess, D. D., of Dedham, Mass., 
 Louisa, daughter of George Washington and Mary (Lyon) Briggs 
 Jackson, born Oct. 28, 1807, in Halifax, Mass. ; died May 4, 1840, 
 in Boston, Mass.; married (2), Oct. 28, 1841, by Rev. Emerson 
 Paine, in Halifax, Almira, daughter of Reuben and Desire (Till- 
 son) Sylvester, born Nov. 20, 1810 ; died June 4, 1876, in Revere; 
 married (3), Jan. 24, 1877, in Providence, R. L, by Rev. Thomas 
 Laurie, D. D., Mary Whipple, daughter of Samuel and Eunice 
 (Whipple) Emerson, born Aug. 6, 1827, in Uxbridge, Mass. ; died 
 June 12, 1892, in Revere. AH are buried in his family lot in 
 Dedham Old Cemetery. When a boy of fourteen he was placed 
 with Dea. Jonathan Richards, of Dedham, to do such work on his 
 farm as a lad of that age was able ; here he remained for two years 
 or more, under a somewhat strict discipline, for which, in his 
 later life, he was always thankful. He then learned the mason's 
 trade, which included brick-laying, plastering and lathing, at which 
 he continued to work, much of the time in Boston, on small con- 
 tracts of his own and others, until the fall of 1841. He then 
 purchased a small farm in Chelsea, Mass., in that part of the town 
 which in 1845 was set off as North Chelsea (receiving in 1871 the 
 name of Revere) ; to this he added some twenty acres by two sub- 
 sequent purchases. Here he continued to reside for the remainder 
 of his life, and was engaged in the raising of fruit and vegetables. 
 Mar. 5, 1848, he was elected one of the assessors, chairman of the 
 school committee, and a constable ; in March, 1850, he was chosen 
 a selectman, and also an assessor and constable. Apr. 14, 1852, 
 after the town of Winthrop was set off from North Chelsea, he

 WHS elected town treasurer, and continued to liold that ol'licc 
 until after the close of the Civil war in 18G5, when he declined to 
 be a candidate for further service. In November, 1854, he was 
 elected to represent the town in the Legislature. He was ap- 
 pointed a justice of the peace Jan. 80, 1857, and recommissioned 
 until January, 1878; he was also one of the coroners of Suffolk 
 County from Apr. 10, 1860, until the office was abolished. Dur- 
 ing the depressed condition of the Lynn & Boston Railroad Com- 
 pany he became president of the road, and by his energy infused 
 new life into the corporation, and placed it on a paying basis. 
 
 He was treasurer of the Evangelical Congregational Society in 
 Revere from April, 1860, until April, 1887, with the exception 
 of two years when he declined to serve, — a period of twenty-five 
 years. He was much interested in the genealogy of the family, 
 and contributed to the Dedliam Transcript numerous and valuable 
 liistorical, biographical and genealogical notes, not only on liis 
 direct ancestral lines, but also on collateral lines with wliich he 
 was connected. An obituary notice, printed shortly after Ids 
 death, described liim as " a man of sterling qualities of head and 
 heart, and .... a self-reliant and worthy member of the commu- 
 nity. He was a man of positive convictions, and always voiced 
 those convictions with directness of diction and expression, never 
 faltering in his opposition to what he deemed wrong, but there 
 was no ' root of bitterness ' in his disposition." 
 
 By the bequest of liis widow, Mrs. Mary W. Dewing, a building 
 for the use of ministers and missionaries, and known as the " Dew- 
 ing Memorial," has been erected in Revere, at a cost, including 
 the land, of about -f 17, 000. The location is a very fine one, being 
 near the Revere Beach Boulevard and the Lay College, Revere, 
 students of which have certain privileges in the "Memorial."

 trade in Boston, at which he worked until 1866, when 
 he began business as a contractor and buikler, in which 
 he continued until 1893. He joined the Massachusetts 
 Charitable Mechanics' Association in 1869, and has served 
 as one of its trustees and also on its board of relief. In 
 May, 1866, he united with the Berkeley Street Cong'l 
 Church, then under the pastoral care of Rev. Henry M, 
 Dexter, D. D., and in Jan., 1878, was chosen one of its 
 deacons, to fill an unexpired term of a year, caused by 
 the removal from the city of the previous incumbent, 
 and was re-elected for the usual term of six years, con- 
 tinuing in that office by successive elections until 1897 ; 
 he also held other offices in that church and society 
 until 1897. In Nov., 1898, having been a member for 
 thirty-two years of the Berkeley Street Church (in 1888 
 called Berkeley Temple), he and his wife took letters 
 to the Shawmut Cong'l Church, with which they are 
 now connected. Mr. Dewing and his sister Mary Louisa 
 are of "Mayflower" stock, being descendants, through 
 their mother, from Isaac Allerton, one of the signers of 
 the famous " Compact."*

 Thomas WilmepJ Dewing (Paul,^ Nathan,^ Ubenezer,'^ Henry, ^ 
 Andrew,'^ Andreiv^^, born May 4, 1851, in Boston, Mass. ; married 
 Apr. 18, 1881, Maria, daughter of William Francis and Sally 
 (Sullivan) Oakey, born Oct. 27, 1 855, in New York city. When 
 a young man he went abroad, and while in Paris was a pupil of 
 the eminent artists Boulanger and Lefebvre ; on his return, he 
 settled in New York city, 1880 ; he was elected a member of the 
 Society of American Artists in 1880, and of the National Academy 
 of Design in 1888. In 1898 he was one of the founders of the 
 group of leading painters called the " Ten American Painters." 
 When the " Red Room " in the White House was refurnished, in 
 1903, an elegant piano was presented to the President, the design 
 for which was furnished by the Messrs. Joseph M. and Richard H. 
 Hunt, and to Mr. Dewing was assigned its decoration. He sug- 
 gested a figure typifying the young Republic in the centre of a 
 graceful group of the Nine Muses ; his theme was somewhat of 
 a departure from the conventional manner, for the figures were 
 not robed in classic costume. His painting covers the entire lid. 
 Mr. Dewing's artistic ability has been recognized abroad, his 
 pictures having frequently appeared in the Paris Salon " hors 
 eoncours.^^

ADDENDA AND CORRIGENDA. 
 
 While this volume has been passing through the press some further 
 information has been received, too late to give in its proper place, and one 
 or two errors have been discovered, which we note below. 
 
 Page 15, line 2, for Hist. Reg. read Town Recs. 
 
 Page 19, line 3, of No. 7, for (Wright) read (More). 
 
 Page 42, line 10 from foot, for 1812 (birth of John) read 1813. 
 
 Page 48, line 6. Ruth Judd was b. Oct. 14, 1825 ; d. Apr. 13, 1808. 
 
 Line 8. Hiram D. Lovering m. Jane Hall ; she d. Apr. 1, 1884. 
 Line 10. George W. Iv. Lovering m. Margaret Wright ; they 
 had one son, William. The surname is spelled Loverin by 
 many of the family. 
 Line 14, after Leonard Reed add b. Jan. 24, 1820; d. Nov. 15, 
 18G9; they had a son, Curtis L.^ Reed, who res. in Richford, 
 Vt. He gives his mother's name as Mary M. instead of Polly. 
 
 Line 18, for Chase, read Mark Chase. 
 
 Line 21. Dela and Dilla are as furnished us by members of the 
 family. The town clerk of Sheldon writes that it is " Delia" 
 on the Record ; the Family Bible Record, as we are informed, 
 has " Delilah," and differs in a few other dates in her father's 
 family from those in the text. She was married by Samuel 
 West, J. P. 
 Page 50, line 11 from foot, for they [Mr. and Mrs. Moore] have one 
 child, read they have two chil. 
 
 Line 8 from foot, Nathan has had three children, of whom two 
 are living. 
 Page 52, line 20. His son writes that George Leonard was born in 1795. 
 Page 63, line 1. We find that the date of death of Seth (30, vii), which 
 was sent by a correspondent, is some years too early, as Katie was b. Mar. 1, 
 1856, in Brooklyn, N. Y. ; there was an older dau. who died young. 
 
 Page 72, line 13. The date of birth of Mary Coombs, if her age at death 
 is correctly given on the Mendon Town recs. , as furnished us by the town 
 clerk, should be June 3 (not July 3). Geneal. Hist, of Henry Adams of 
 Braintree, p. 570, has July 8 ; we do not know on what authority. The 
 foot-note on this page should read, Mary's age at death, etc.

 Page 74, line 10. By the Massachusetts State Archives, Phoebe M. Hay 
 (Mrs. Albert W. Dewinu) was 20 when she died, and was therefore born 
 about 1840. 
 
 Page 75, under No. 53, we have conflicting information ; a recent letter 
 says that Charles C. Dewing was born Sept. G, 1800, and died Nov. 30, 1881. 
 We are unable to say which is correct. 
 
 Page 76, line 17, after Charles William add b. Aug. 24, 1848. 
 
 Page 79, line 4, for 31 (date of marriage of Louisa) read 21. 
 
 Page 90, line 9 from foot, for May (date of birth of Henry A. Dewing) 
 read March. 
 
 Page 93, line 14, for Addie (middle name of Lovina, iii) read Adelia. 
 
 Page 96, line 5. Mr. Ely B. Dewing wrote that the seventh child was 
 Courtney Benjamin, and that he married April 21, 1901, in Tlushville, Neb., 
 Carrie Ellen, daughter of Benjamin Franklin and Josephine (Van Trump) 
 Carter, born Sept. 24, 1878, in Rochester, Ind. They reside in Ilusliville, 
 where he is engaged in stock-raising. Our authority for Courtney Almon 
 (as in the text) was his niece, Miss Ida B. Nunemaker ; in a later letter she 
 writes that Courtney Benjamin is correct, and that he has children : — 
 1. Frank Benjamin,'^ b. Mar. 19, 1902 : 2. Josephine Ida, b. Nov. 17, 1903. 
 
 Page 96, line 17. One informant gives White Creek (not Sugar Creek) 
 as the birthplace of Clifton B. Dewing. 
 
 Page 106, line 23, for William read Wilson. 
 
 Page 110, line 14. Grace A. died May 31, 1904, leaving a son (Fisher), 
 Bohert Demng, b. May 13, 1904. 
 
 In gathering material wo have found several entries of the name of 
 Dewing on the State Archives, and also in some Genealogies that have 
 been consulted, which on investigation prove to be clerical errors. We 
 note some of those concerning which we have direct information in re- 
 sponse to our inquiries. 
 
 The Middlesex Co. recs., Newton Marriages, p. 179, have the marriage of 
 James Dewhig of Watertown, Oct. 5, 1774, to Eebekah Adams of Newton, 
 Mass. AVe have been unable to learn anything further of this James. 
 
 The town clerk of Holliston furnishes the following from the Town 
 records : " George Dewing and Margaret White married Aug. 30, 1759." 
 One George Dewing of Mendon, husbandman (perhaps the same), con- 
 veyed by a deed signed Jan. 21, 1755, for €249, a lot of land in JSIcndon, 
 Mass., and seven acres of swamp land in Holliston, in which he had an 
 "absolute estate of inheritance, in fee simple," to Daniel Ide, a gunsmith 
 of Medway; and Martha Dewing, of Wrentham, signed a release of her 
 dower in the above premises, Oct. 4, 1756. (Worcester Co. recs., at Wor- 
 cester, and also recorded with Suffolk deeds, 89 : 121.) It is possible that 
 
138 Andrew Dewing and His Descejidants. 
 
 this Martha may have been the wife or widow of Jeremiah (4, ii) Dewing 
 (the date of his death being unknown), and George may have been a son ; 
 or Martha may have been the wife of George previous to his marriage to 
 Margaret AVhite; we have not been able to identify the parties, and the 
 name may perhaps be meant for Deming. 
 
 The errors in the State Archives concerning the Dewings are found 
 chiefly in Entries from Sandisfield, Mass. Under date of ^o\. 7, 1848 
 (p. 57, Marriages), James A. Dev»ring is said to have married Sarah E. 
 Jones of Sandisfield. Apr. 30, 1850 (p. 56, ibid.)^ Edward Kellogg married 
 Maria Dewing, both of Sandisfield. Feb 25, 1851 (p. 55, ibid.), David 
 B. Dewing married Mary Bosworth, both of Sandisfield. May 2, 1863 
 (p. 54, Deaths), Burton D. Dewing of Sandisfield was shot at Port Hud- 
 son ; he is called son of Eussell and Sarah Dewing. In each of the above 
 cases, as we are informed by the town clerk of Sandisfield, the name 
 Dewing is incorrectly given ; it should be Deming. 
 
 In Chelsea rec. of marriages (State Archives, p. 215, Marriages), Charles 
 H. Cutting of Chelsea married Aug. 24, 1871, Myra J. Dewing. Mr. Cut- 
 ting informs us that the maiden name of his wife was Deering ; she was 
 born in Bradford, Me. 
 
 In Milford recs. (State Archives, p. 334, Marriages), Charles C. Dewing 
 married Dec. 12, 1886, Etta B. Thurston, of Ilopedale, Mass. He writes 
 that his name should have been recorded Charles C. Downing. 
 
 In the Burr Family Gen. (2d ed., I^o. 675, p. 333, and in the same 
 work 4th ed., p. 421, No. 1214), William B. Burr is said to have m. Mary 
 E. Dewing ; a letter from Mrs. Burr, from St. Louis, Mar. 1, 1901, says her 
 maiden name was Mary M. Devney. 
 
 In the Chandler Family Gen., p. 981, No. 3788, E. G. Dewing, of Madi- 
 son, Wis., is said to have married Aug. 24, 1881, Lucretia M. Eandall. We 
 have a letter from him saying this should be E. G. Deming. . 
 
 It should be said that while discrepancies in spelling names will very 
 likely be noticed, these are generally due to the fact that correspondents 
 do not always agree among themselves, even in the same family, — a com- 
 mon experience of genealogists. 
 
APPENDIX. 
 
 We give below the wills of Andrew^ (2), of his l)rother Jonathan- 
 (3), and of Ilenry^ (5), son of Andrew,^ from certiHed copies on tlie 
 Suffolk County Probate records, together with the inventories of the two 
 brothers, Jonathan (3) and Andrew^ (4), the latter of whom died in- 
 testate. It is believed that these documents will be interesting, as they 
 indicate something of the character of those by whom the wills were 
 made, while the inventories, by the minuteness of then- details, give the 
 reader a glimpse of the surroundings and home life of their owners, and 
 of the period in which they lived. 
 
 WILL OF ANDREW (2) DEWING. 
 
 THE last Will and Testament of Andrew Dewin Sen"", of Needham 
 Husbandman, made in the year of our Lord 1717. January 14*''. AU- 
 though at the day of the date hereof I am in a very weak and low Con- 
 dition as to my Body and in and under the visiting hand of God and 
 concluding that God is now calling of me out of this world ; Yet, 
 through the goodness of God to me I am now in the Injoyment of the 
 use of understanding, reason and memory ; I therefore account it both 
 duty and ])rudence to be preparing for my departure out of this world. 
 And whereas I consist of an Immortal Soul and Earthly Body my desire 
 is, that at my departure out of this world my Soul may return to God 
 that gave it me, and be received into those mansions — jn^epared for 
 such as are Appointed Vessels of honour. My Body to be Committed 
 to the Earth there to remain untill the llesurrection and then both 
 Soul and Body to be raised incorruptible and Improved in the Glory- 
 fying and praising of my Creator, and Redeemer, to Eternity. 
 
 NOW as for my worldly Instate of Lands and Chattels which tlie Lord 
 hath given me my mind and will is as foUoweth Viz'. That after my 
 death all my True and Just debts be truly and honestly paid and that 
 which is necessary for my Burial to be taken out of my Estate ; and 
 then the rest of my Estate which is not given away by Deed Namely 
 my Housing, and Lands, and Moveables I give and bequeath the use 
 
140 Andrew Dewing and His Descendants. 
 
 and Improvemeut of one half of them to my wellbeloved Wife Dorothy 
 Dewin, during the whole time and term, that she shall remain my 
 Widow ; and in case that she shall change her Condition by Marriage 
 that then she shall have the use and Improvem*. of one third part of my 
 Estate, which I dye in the LawfuU possession of during the term of her 
 natural life : as for my two Eldest Sons Namely Andrew Dewin my 
 Eldest Son and Henry Dewin my Second Son I have given them their 
 full share in my Lands and Meadows by Deed I therefore now give and 
 bequeath to them, That is namely to my Eldest Son Andrew Dewin 
 five pounds in money to be paid to him within three years After my 
 Decease, by my youngest Son Edmund Dewin and that shall be his 
 share in my whole Estate; As for Henry Dewin my Second Son, I now 
 give and bequeath to him five pounds in money Also to be paid to him 
 within three years After my Decease by my youngest Son Edmund

 Two Daughters namely Easter and Dorothy my mind and Will is, that 
 my youngest Daughter Dorothy be made equal with my Eldest Daughter 
 Easter, in what she hath already had of my Estate and then that Easter 
 my Eldest Daughter and Dorothy my youngest Daughter have each of 
 them five pounds apeice in money out of my Estate paid to them by 
 Edmund Dewin my Youngest Son within three years after my Decease. 
 
 NOW as for my youngest Son Edmund Dewin my mind and Will is 
 That immediately after my death he shall have the one half of my 
 Estate which I dye possessed of both Housing and Lands. And further 
 my mind and Will is. That when my loving Wife Dorothy shall Change

INDEX. 
 
 Nunibors ayaiiist namos rofor to pages. A name lias but a single roferenco 
 to the i)ago on wliicli it appears, tliough it may bo relocated there: care sliould 
 bo taken to look for such repetition; for example, when a cliild has the same 
 Christian name as the ])arcnt, and both ar(! given on the same i)age, one refer- 
 ence stands for the two. A star (*) against a page number calls attention to 
 additional information or correction in the Addenda (pp. loO ct scq.). 
 
 Middle names are indexed by initials only; for example, Mary Amelia and 
 Mary Anna are both indexed as Mary A. When given in full they show the 
 surname at the time of marriage; where the context indicates that this sur- 
 name is presumably tlio maiden name, it is parenthesized; otherwise the 
 parentheses are omitted. When a surname follows one in parentheses, it 
 shows a second marriage, the last name being that borne at the time of such 
 marriage. The names in the Wills and English Notes, in the Ai)pendix, are 
 not indexed.
