PEEFACE. 
 
 More than three years ago, having read in Presi- 
 dent Quincy's " History of Harvard University," that 
 the Reverend Henry Dunster, the first president of this 
 institution, was buried in Cambridge, near the seat of his 
 labors, I was led to look for his grave-stone in our old 
 burying-ground. Though unable to find any inscription 
 ao his memory, T soon became interested in conning the 
 old Latin epitaphs, and began to copy and compare 
 :hem with those contained in Alden's collection, and 
 found much pleasure in thus passing some of my leisure 
 lours. After a considerable number had been copied, 
 t occurred to me that a collection of all the inscriptions 
 inight interest other persons, and might be of some use 
 to the biographer and the historian. With this im- 
 pression, I was encouraged to continue what had been 
 begun only for amusement ; and thus the present col- 
 lection has been made, and is now offered to the 
 public. 
 
 The settlement of this town, originally called Newlon 
 or the New Town, was begun in 1631. In 1632 was 
 built "the first house for public worship at Newtown, 
 with a bell upon it," and on the 11th of October, 1633, 
 Rev. Thomas Hooker was ordained pastor, and Mr. 
 Samuel Stone, teacher. Early in the year 1636, Mr. 
 Hooker and his congregation removed to Hartford, 
 Conn. " These people and Church of Christ being 
 
iv PREFACE. 
 
 thus departed from New-towne, the godly people, who 
 came in their roomes, gathered the eleaventh Church of 
 Christ, and called to the Office of a Pastor, that gra- 
 tious sweete Heavenly minded, and soule-ravishing 
 Minister, Mr. Thomas Shepheard.'^^ Thus, on the 1st 
 of February, 1636, was formed the first permanent 
 church at Newtown. In 1636 an appropriation was 
 made by the General Court for a public school, and in 
 1638, Rev. John Harvard, of Charlestown, having 
 made a large addition to this appropriation, the School 
 became a College, bearing the name of its benefactor, 
 and the town was called Cambridge. 
 
 The first mention in the Town Records of a grave- 
 yard bears date January 4, 1635, when, after various 
 enactments, "It is further ordered that the Burying- 
 place shall be paled in ; whereof John Taylcot is to 
 do 2 Rod, Georg Steele 3 Rod and a Gate, Thomas 
 Hosmer 3 Rod, Mathew Allen 1 Rod, and Andrew 
 "Warner appointed to get the remainder done at a pub- 
 lick charge and he is to have iii^ a Rod." 
 
 As late as the year 1702 the grave-yard was leased 
 out as a pasture for sheep, as appears from the following 
 records : — 
 
 "At a meeting of the selectmen, 10 March, 1700-1: 
 Leiv^ Aaron Bordman requesting that he might have 
 the improvement of the Burying-yard, (to keep sheep in) 
 the selectmen did consent that he should have the im- 
 provement of said yard, (for the use above mentioned) 
 for one year next ensuing ; provided he would cut the 
 gate of said yard in sunder, and hang the same with 
 suitable hooks and hinges, also fix a stub-post in the 
 ground, and a rail from post to post cross the gates, for 
 them to shut against ; all to be done in good workman- 
 
PREFACE. V 
 
 like order ; — which the said Bordman promised to do." 
 March 31, 1702. '' It was then concluded, that Liev^ 
 Aaron Bordman should have the improvement of the 
 Burying-yard for this present year, he paying for the 
 same six shillings." 
 
 In the burying-ground there are several monuments, 
 consisting of a horizontal slab of hard stone, resting 
 upon a foundation of brick or slate. In the upper sur- 
 faces of these slabs, are cavities, of various shapes, 
 designed to admit a softer stone, or, perhaps, a leaden 
 tablet, bearing an inscription. Either by the ravages of 
 time, or by some sacrilegious hand, these tablets have 
 been removed, and thus no memorial is left of those 
 whose ashes rest beneath. In several places the foun- 
 dations of monuments have been found, sunk beneath 
 the surface of the soil. 
 
 It is rather surprising, that, in this age of improve- 
 ment, Cambridge should fall behind her neighbours, and 
 suffer her ancient grave-yard to lie neglected. Interest- 
 ing as it is from containing within its limits the '' tombs 
 of the prophets," the spot is often visited by the curious 
 stranger ; but it is to be feared that he as often leaves 
 it with feelings of regret at its desolate appearance. — ^ 
 
 Many of the tombs are without the names of the own- 
 ers ; many of the grave-stones have been broken, and 
 more are broken every year ; brambles abound instead 
 of shrubbery ; and what might be a beautiful cemetery 
 is converted into a common passage-way. Unfitting is 
 it, indeed, that the sod beneath which rest the ashes of 
 a Shepard, a Dunster, and a Mitchel, should be rioted 
 over by every vagrant schoolboy. 
 
 In the following pages will be found a complete trans- 
 cript of the epitaphs in the burying-ground, from the 
 
VI PREFACE. 
 
 earliest date to the year 1800. In the years succeed- 
 ing 1800, with a few exceptions, the names only of 
 those, to whose memory monuments have been erected, 
 are given. 
 
 The arrangement, nearly chronological, is according 
 to New Style, in which, it must be remembered, the 
 number of the year differs by one from that in Old Style, 
 with respect to all dates between the 1st of January 
 and the 25th of March, with which day the year began, 
 according to O. S. For instance, under the year 1663, 
 in this book, is a death purporting to have taken place 
 March 5, 1662 ; this is probably correct by O. S., as 
 the year 1663 would not commence till March 25th, 
 but, according to New Style, the year 1663 began on 
 the 1st of January preceding. 
 
 In several instances the chronological arrangement 
 has been deviated from, to avoid dividing a long epitaph. 
 Such instances occur on pages 70, 113, &c. 
 
 With regard to any discrepancies which may appear 
 between the statements in the notes and those in Farm- 
 er's excellent '' Genealogical Register," I will merely 
 say, that I have, in all cases, followed the original Rec- 
 ords of the Church and Town in preference to any 
 other authority. 
 
 Beside the Church and Town Records, free use has 
 been made of Farmer's Register, Holmes's Cambridge, 
 Allen's Biographical Dictionary, Quincy's and Peirce's 
 Histories of Harvard University, Thomas's History of 
 Printing, and of several town histories. 
 
 I take this opportunity to render my grateful ac- 
 knowledgments to Rev. Lucius R. Paige, the indefatiga- 
 ble antiquary and matchless Town Clerk of Cambridge, 
 both for his personal advice and assistance, as well as 
 
PREFACE. Vll 
 
 for his kindness in giving me free access to the Records 
 in his possession. 
 
 To Mr. W. S. Tiffany, of the Senior Class in 
 Harvard University, I am indebted for the design of 
 the Vassall Monument, which graces my Appendix. 
 
 Probable as it is that many errors will be detected in 
 the following pages, it is hoped that such will be regard- 
 ed with an indulgent eye, and not attributed to any want 
 of care on the part of the author.

 John Leverett was the grandson of Governor Leverett ; he 
 graduated at Harvard College in 1680, and was a tutor in this in- 
 stitution ; he was a representative, Speaker of the House, a mem- 
 ber of his Majesty's Council, a justice of the Superior Court, and a 
 judge of probate ; he was chosen president of Harvard College, 
 and inducted into office Jan. 14, 1708, in which station he remained 
 till his sudden death, May 3, 1724. President Leverett has been 
 represented as a man of vast learning, and true piety. " His talents 
 were eminently practical. He knew better than most men what 
 course to shape in difficult times, and how political and religious 
 factions were to be managed or controlled. In all his official rela- 
 tions, his industry, vigor, and fidelity were conspicuous and exem- 
 plary." Rev. N. Appleton, in a funeral discourse occasioned by 
 the death of President Leverett, says, " He was a pillar both of the 
 church and state, an honor and ornament to society, and the glory 
 of New England."

 the Mayflower in 1621. Mr. Wadsworth graduated at Harvard 
 College 1762, was Tutor from 1770 till 1777, and Fellow from 
 1774 till 1777 ; he spent much of his time in the study of meta-

 were universally acknowledged. He died, in 1777, of the small- 
 pox, which was then prevalent in Cambridge ; and it is said that

 he had long anticipated death by that disorder, and was greatly 
 alarmed when his physician told him that he had taken it ; he had 
 refused inoculation, through fear of the result. He was greatly 
 lamented by the members of the University ; the older ones valued 
 his learning, and the younger ones were attached to him for his 
 mild and courteous deportment.

 A Native of Great Britain,

 Early formed 
 
 to habits of mercantile attention and industry,

 After having acquired, 
 
 with the strictest integrity and honor, 
 
 an ample fortune, 
 
 he retired from the busy scenes of life, 
 
 and employed his time, and applied his income, 
 
 to useful and rational purposes. 
 
 Affability, benevolence, and hospitality, 
 
 humanity, charity, and beneficence, 
 
 gained him the friendship and esteem 
 
 of all ranks of men ; 
 
 While 
 
 Conjugal attention and tenderness, 
 
 filial duty and piety, 
 
 fraternal affection and goodness, 
 
 gentleness and kindness to domestics, 
 
 highly endeared his character 
 
 to those around him. 
 
 Firmly believing and heartily embracing 
 
 the Religion of the Gospel, 
 
 he experienced its divine truths, 
 
 happily influencing him through life, 
 
 inspiring him with patience and resignation, 
 
 under great bodily distresses, 
 
 and ministering strong consolation and hope in death, 
 
 which released him from his sufferings

APPENDIX 
 
 It having been suggested to me, that a table of such deaths as 
 are not contained in the foregoing pages would be useful, and 
 would render this book a more complete record of the early deaths 
 in this town, such a table, compiled from the Town Records, has 
 been given, in the form of an Appendix. Notices have been added 
 of some persons, whose names will be found in this table, but 
 whose monuments have long since crumbled into dust, and of 
 others, whose remains were deposited in tombs, over which no 
 monuments were erected. 
 
 In the table of deaths, the first column of figures denotes the day 
 of the month, and the second, the month itself, regarding March 
 as the first month, April the second, &c.

 ANDREW BELCHER, 
 
 Of Sudbury in 1640, Cambridge 1646, member of the church, 
 was of the Ar. Co. in 1642. He married Elizabeth, daughter of 
 Nicholas Danforth, and had children, Elizabeth, who married 
 Captain Blowers, Jemimah, who married Joseph Sill, Martha, 
 who married Jonathan Remington, Andrew, and Anna, who mar- 
 ried a Ballard. Mrs. Elizabeth Belcher died June 26, 1680, aged 
 62 years. 
 
 On the 27.10, 1652, *' The Townsmen do grant liberty to 
 Andrew Belcher to sell beer and bread, for entertainment of 
 strangers, and the good of the Town." (Town Records.) We 
 here find the first license for an inn in Cambridge. Nothing re- 
 mains to designate the last resting-place of Andrew Belcher, but 
 a foot-stone, by the side of that of Mrs. Elizabeth Belcher, bear- 
 ing the initials, "A. B." 
 
 Andrew, the second, was born in Cambridge, Jan. 1, 1647, 
 removed to Boston in 1703, was a captain, one of the Council of 
 Safety in 1689, and a counsellor from 1702 to 1717. He died 
 Oct. 31, 1717, aged 70, leaving one son, Jonathan, who was born 
 in Jan. 1681, graduated at Harvard College in 1699, was governor 
 of Massachusetts and New Hampshire from 1730 to 1741, and~\ 
 governor of New Jersey from 1747 till his death, which took-^ 
 place at Elizabethtown, August 1, 1757. 
 
 It appears that Governor Belcher and his cousin. Judge Reming- 
 ton, were ardent friends, so much so, as to desire to be buried in 
 one grave. Judge Remington dying first, his body was commit- 
 ted to the earth. The Governor's remains having been brought 
 here from New Jersey, were deposited in a tomb, constructed 
 a short time before, agreeably to his orders, contiguous to that of 
 Judge Trowbridge ; the body of Judge Remington was disinterred, 
 and placed by his side. No further use was made of this tomb for 
 some time ; it is now in the possession of Dr. T. L. Jennison, who 
 married a granddaughter of the Governor. 
 
 It may be well to observe, that these tombs, viz. that of Gov- 
 ernor Belcher, and that of Judge Trowbridge (now known as the 
 Dana tomb), are near the present gateway of the burying-ground. 
 In that of Judge Trowbridge rest the remains of Washington 
 Allston.

 ELIJAH CORLET, 
 
 " That memorable old school-master in Cambridge," was the 
 son of Henry Corlet, of Lbndon, and was born about 1609. On 
 the 16th of March, 1626, he was admitted to matriculation in 
 Lincoln College, Oxford, being then 17 years of age. He came 
 to New England, and settled at Cambridge as early as 1643, was 
 admitted freeman in 1645, and, with Barbara, his wife, was mem- 
 ber of the church in full communion. His children, baptized in 
 Cambridge, were Rebeccah, Hepzibah., and Ammi-Ruhamah, who 
 graduated at Harvard College in 1670, was a Fellow of this insti- 
 tution, and died Feb. 1, 1679. He was immediately appointed 
 teacher of the Grammar School in this place, as appears from the 
 following passage in " New England's First Fruits," published 
 in 1643 : "By the side of the Colledge a faire Grammar Schoole, 
 for the training up of young schollars, and fitting of them for Aca- 
 demical learning, that still as they are judged ripe, they may be 
 received into the Colledge of this Schoole : Master Corlet is the 
 Mr. who hath very well approved himself for his abilities, dex- 
 terity, and painfulnesse in teaching and education of the youths 
 under him." 
 
 Mr. Corlet probably continued master of the Grammar School 
 till his death, which took place Feb. 25, 1686-7, at the age of 78. 
 He was distinguished for his learning and piety. He had the 
 tuition of the Indian scholars, who were intended for the College. 
 Cotton Mather speaks of himas one " from whose education our 
 College and Country has received so many of its worthy men, that 
 he is himself worthy to have his name celebrated in our Church 
 History." The same author, in a poetical esSay on the memory 
 of Ezekiel Cheever, the far-famed Boston schoolmaster, says, 
 
 " 'T is Corlet's pains, and Cheever's, we must own. 
 That thou, New England, art not Scythia grown." 
 
 STEPHEN DAY, 
 
 The first printer in this part of America, was born in London, 
 Eng., and there served his apprenticeship. He came to New 
 England in 1638, for " This yeare the reverend and judicious 
 M. Jos. Glover undertook this long voyage, being able both in 
 person and estate for the work, he provided, for further compleat- 
 ing the Colonies in Church and Conimon-wealih-work, a Printer." 
 In March 1639, he began printing at Cambridge, by direction of 
 the magistrates and elders. That Day was the first printer in 
 New England appears from the following record: " Att a Gen- 
 eral Court held at Boston on the Eighth day of the Eighth moneth 
 1641. Steeven Day being the first that sett upon printing, is

 graunted three hundred acres of land, where it maybe convenient, 
 without prejudice to any town." The first thing printed was " The 
 Freenaa,n's Oath " ; the next an alnnanac, made by William Peirce, 
 mariner; which was succeeded, in 1640, by the Psalms in Metre, 
 " faithfully translated for the Use, Edification and Comfort of the 
 Saints, in public and private, especially in New England." Day 
 was an unskilful printer. About 1648, he was removed from his 
 office, and the press was put into the hands of Samuel Green. 
 Green, was probably assisted, at first, by Day, who still remained 
 in Cambridge, and who, being embarrassed by debt, was probably 
 induced to become a journeyman, where he had once been master. 
 On the 28th of February, 1660-1, Steven Day was admitted into 
 fellowship and full communion in the Cambridge church ; he died 
 December 22, 1668, aged about 58. Rebecca Day, probably his 
 wife, died October 17, 1658. 
 
 HENRY DUNSTER, 
 
 The first president of Harvard College, proceeded Bachelor in 
 1630, at Magdalen College, Cambridge, Eng., where he also re- 
 ceived the degree of Master in 1634. He came to New England 
 in 1640, was inducted into the office of President of Harvard Col- 
 lege, August "21, 1640, and was admitted freeman in 1641. His 
 wife was Elizabeth, widow of Rev. Jesse or Josse Glover, who 
 died Aug. 23, 1643. Mr. Dunster was highly respected for his 
 learning and piety. The author of " New England's First Fruits " 
 says, " Over the Colledge is Master Dunster placed, as President, 
 a learned conscionable and industrious man, who hath so trained 
 up his pupills in the tongues and arts, and so seasoned them 
 with the principles of divinity and Christianity, that we have to 
 our great comfort (and in truth) beyond our hopes, beheld their 
 progresse in learning and godlmesse also." Dunster's services to 
 the College were invaluable; "He found the seminary a school. 
 It rose, under his auspices, to the dignity of a College." But 
 having fallen "into the briers of Antipfedobaptism," these servi- 
 ces were deemed no longer desirable. "Indicted by the grand 
 jury for disturbing the ordinance of infant baptism in the Cam- 
 bridge church, convicted by the court, sentenced to a public ad- 
 monition on lecture day, and laid under bonds for good behaviour, 
 Dunster's martyrdom was consummated by being compelled, in 
 October, 1654, to resign his office of President, and to throw him- 
 self on the tender mercies of the General Court." He now went 
 to Scituate, where he spent the remainder of his days. He died 
 Feb. 27, 1659, and, in accordance with his last wishes, "his body 
 was solemnly interred at Cambridge, where he had spent the 
 choice pan of his studies and of his life, and might there have con- 
 tinued, if he had been endowed with that wisdom which many 
 others have wanted besides himself, to have kept his singular opin- 
 
176 APPENDIX. 
 
 ion to himself, when there was little occasion for venting thereof." 
 " He was a modest, humble, charitable man ; as true a friend, and 
 as faithful a servant, as this College ever possessed." By his last 
 will he bequeathed legacies to the very persons who had been the 
 cause of his removal from the College, and also nominated Presi- 
 dent Chauncy and Rev. Mr. Mitchel appraisers of his library, 
 "some of the books of which," he says, " being in such languages, 
 whereof common Enalishmen know not one letter." 
 
 JOHN FESSENDEN 
 
 Came from Kent, in England, settled in Cambridge, was admitted 
 freeman in 1641, was a member of the church, selectman 1656 - 
 1661, 1663-1666, and died Dec. 21, 1666, leaving no children. 
 His wife, Jane, died Jan. 13, 1682, aged 80 years. His relative, 
 Nicholas, came from England and inherited his estate, which was 
 considerable. The foundations of a monument are yet visible 
 near the grave-stone of Nicholas Fessenden, and here, in all prob- 
 ability, were deposited the remains of John Fessenden. 
 
 NATHANIEL GOOKIN, 
 
 The third son of Major-General Daniel Gookin, and of his first 
 wife, Mary, was born in Cambridge, Oct. 22, 1656, graduated at 
 Harvard College in 1675, and was ordained over the church in this 
 town, as successor of Mr. Oakes, Nov. 15, 1682. He was a Fellow 
 of Harvard College, and died on Sunday, August 7, 1692, in the 
 thirty-fourth year of his age, and the tenth of his ministry. Rev. 
 Dr. Holmes, in his " History of Cambridge," speaking of Mr. Gook- 
 in, says, " Tradition informs us that he lies interred in the south- 
 east corner of the burying-ground, beneath a brick monument, 
 covered with a stone slab, the inscription of which is not now 
 legible." Near the monument which covers the remains of Major- 
 General Gookin, and of a similar construction, situated in the 
 southeastern part of the burying-ground, is a monument, covered 
 with a slab, in which is an incision, designed to admit a softer 
 stone, with an inscription, which stone has crumbled to dust. By 
 the side of this monument, stands the grave-stone of Mrs. Hannah, 
 wife of Rev. Nathaniel Gookin. This circumstance seems to evi- 
 dence, that beneath the aforesaid monument rest the remains of 
 Rev. Mr. Gookin.

 SAMUEL GREEN, 
 
 Of Cambridge, and of Boston in 1686, was the successor of Day, 
 in llie printing establisiiment, and the ancestor of most of thie name 
 in this country, who have devoted themselves to the typographic 
 art. He was the son of Bartholomew Green, of Cambridge, who 
 died before 1658, and whose widow, Elizabeth, a member of the 
 church in full communion, died Oct. 28, 1677, aged 88 years. 
 Samuel Green had children by his first wife, Jane, — who was the 
 daughter of Guy and Justice Bainbridge, and who died Nov. 16, 
 1657, — Elizabeth, Sarah, Samuel, Joseph, Lydia, and Deborah ; 
 by his second wife, Sarah, — daughter of Elder Jonas and Eliza- 
 beth Clark, — Jonas, Lydia, and 13artholomew. 
 
 Green was a member of the church, "Clearke of the Writts" for 
 Cambridge, town -clerk from 1693 to 1697, and captain of the 
 Cambridge militia for thirty years. For fifty years he had the 
 management of the pnnting-press, and during this time he seems 
 to have given universal satisfaction ; in company with Marmaduke 
 Johnson, who was sent over for this purpose by the corporation 
 for propagating the Gospel, he printed the Indian Bible. Green 
 continued printing till he became aged ; he died January 1, 1702, 
 aged 87 years. He was a pious and benevolent man, greatly es- 
 teemed by those who knew him. Soon after his death, the print- 
 ing-press was removed from Cambridge, and probably sold. 
 
 ROGER HARLAKENDEN, 
 
 Whom Rev. Thomas Shepard styles " my most deare freend, 
 and most precious servant of Jesus Xt," was a lieutenant-colonel, 
 and came from Earl's Colne, in Essex, Eng., in the same ship 
 with Shepard, which arrived at Boston, Oct. 3, 1635. He settled 
 at Cambridge, was admitted freeman in 1636, was elected Assist- 
 ant from 1636 to 1638, was selectman in Cambridge from 1635 iqj 
 1638, and died of the small-pox, Oct. 1638, aged 30, leaving a 
 widow and two daughters. 
 
 Johnson, in his " Wonder-working Providence," says: "Among 
 these Troopes of Christ's Souldiers, came at this time, the godly 
 servant of Christ, Mr. Roger Harlackenden, a young Gentleman 
 valiant in Faith, and appointed by Christ to assist his people in this 
 Desart, he was chose to the Office of a Magistrate, as also to be 
 a choise Leader of their Military Forces, which as yet were but 
 in a strange posture ; and therefore till the yeare 1644, (at which 
 time the Countrey was really placed in a posture of War, to be in 
 a readinesse at all times) there shall not be any thing spoken con- 
 cerning their Military Discipline, the continuance of this Souldier 
 of Christ was but short, the Lord taking him to rest with himselfe. 
 
 " Harlackenden, among these men of note Christ hath thee seated : 
 In warlike way Christ thee array, icilh zeal, and love well heated. 
 £s generall belov'd of all, Christ Souldiers honour thee : 
 In thy young yeares, courage appear es, and kinde benignity. 
 Short are thy days, spet to his praise, whose Church work thou must aidf 
 His work shall bide, silver tride, but thine by death is staid."

 JONATHAN MITCHEL, 
 
 The son of Jonathan Milchel, was born in Yorkshire, Eng., in 
 1624. He came to this country with his parents in 1635, gradu- 
 ated at Harvard College in 1647, of which institution he was a 
 Fellow and Tutor, and was ordained as the successor of Mr. Shep- 
 ard, Aug. 21, 1650. He married Margaret, daughter of his pre- 
 decessor. Mr. Mitchel was " eminent in wisdom, piety, humility, 
 love, self-denial, and of a compassionate and tender heart ; sur- 
 passing in public spiritedness ; a mighty man in prayer, and emi- 
 nent at standing in the gap ; he was zealous for order, and faithful 
 in asserting the truth against all oppugners of it." 
 
 THOMAS SHEPARD, 
 
 Whom Johnson calls "the holy heavenly, sweet-affecting, and 
 soul-ravishing Minister, Pastor of the Church of Christ at Cam- 
 bridge," was the son of William Shepard, and was born in Tow- 
 cester, Northamptonshire, Eng., Nov. 5, 1605. He was educated 
 at Emanuel College, where he took his first degree in 1623, and 
 his second in 1627. In July, 1635, he sailed for New England, 
 and arrived at Boston, October 3d of the same year. After the 
 removal of Mr. Hooker and Mr. Stone to Connecticut, he formed 
 a church at Cambridge, and took charge of it Feb. 1, 1636, where 
 he continued till 1649. "This year," says Morton, " Aug. 25, 
 that faithful and eminent servant of Christ Mr. Thomas Shepard 
 died, who was a soul searching Minister of the Gospel, and Pastor 
 of the Church of Christ at Cambridge. By his death not only that 
 Church and people, but also all New England sustained a very 
 great loss ; he not only preached the Gospel profitably and very 
 successfully, but also hath left behind him divers worthy works of 
 special use, in reference unto the clearing up the state of the soul 
 to God and man. His Body was honorably buried at Canihridge 
 in New England." Johnson, speaking of Shepard, says, " Thou- 
 sands of souls have cause to blesse God for him, even at this very 
 day, who are the Seale of his Ministrey, and bee a man of a thou- 
 sand, indued with abundance of true saving knowledge for himselfe 
 and others, yet his naturall Parts were weake, but spent to the full." 
 He had three wives ; 1st, Margaret Touteville, who died in Cam- 
 bridge (N. E), in 1636 ; 2d, Joanna, daughter of Rev. Thomas 
 Hooker, who died April, 1646 ; and, 3d, Margaret Boradile, whom 
 he married Sept. 8, 1647.

 GREGORY STONE, 
 
 A deacon of Cambridge church, freeman in 1636, representative 
 in 1638, was one of the proprietors of Watertown, and died Nov. 
 30, 1672, aged 82 years. Nothing is left to mark his last resting- 
 place but a foot-stone, by the side of that of Elder John Stone, 
 his son, on which may be traced the letters " G. S.," the initials 
 of his name. Near by, may be seen the grave-stone of Deacon 
 John Cooper, the son of Mrs. Gregory Stone by a former husband. 
 Mrs. Gregory Stone (whom, as the widow Cooper, Deacon Stone 
 married in England) died June 24, 1674. 
 
 VASSALL. 
 
 1 1 II 
 
 Above is a representation of the monument over the Vassall tomb 
 in Cambridge burying-ground, containing, probably, the remains of 
 Colonels John and Henry Vassall, and of some of their relatives. 
 It does not bear any inscription ; but there are engraven upon it 
 the figures of a vase and the sun, the armorial bearings of the 
 family, assumed, probably, from the similarity in sound of the 
 Latin words vas and sol to the family surname. / ~\ 
 
 The Vassall family is of French origin, and has been traced: 
 back in France to the eleventh century. From it descended " the 
 gallant John Vassall, an alderman of London, who, in 1588, at his 
 own expense, fitted out and commanded two ships of war, with 
 which he joined the royal navy to oppose the Spanish Armada." 
 He had two sons, William and Samuel, both of whom were among 
 the original patentees of Massachusetts, in 1628. The former, 
 William Vassall, Esq., first came to New England in 1630 with 
 Governor Winthrop, and, in 1634, settled at Scituate. In 1646 he 
 returned to England, went thence to Barbadoes, where he died in 
 1655. He left daughters, married in this country. His sun. Cap- 
 tain John Vassall, sold his estate at Scituate in 1661, and removed, 
 it is supposed, to the West Indies also. 
 
 Samuel, the brother of William, remained in England. He was 
 a merchant in London, an alderman, and, in 1640 and 1641, a 
 member of Parliament. In the year 1766, his great-grandson, 
 Florentius Vassall, of Jamaica, caused a monument to be erected 
 in honor of him, in King's Chapel, Boston. It is recorded thereon 
 
180 APPENDIX. 
 
 that " he was one of the largest subscribers to raise money against 
 the rebels in Ireland ; a steady and undaunted asserter of the lib- 
 erties of England in 1628 ; the first who boldly refused to submit 
 to the tax of tonnage and poundage, an unconstitutional claim of 
 the Crown, arbitrarily imposed; for which (to the ruin of his 
 family) his goods were seized, and his person imprisoned by the 
 Star Chamber Court. The Parliament, in July, 1641, voted him 
 jC 10445.12.2 for his damages, and resolved that he should be 
 further considered for his personal sufferings ; but the rage of the 
 times, and the neglect of proper applications since, have left his 
 family only the honor of that vote and resolution." 
 
 He had a son John, who purchased large tracts of land in Ja- 
 maica, and settled there, having married Anne, the daughter of 
 John Lewis, Esq., an English resident at Genoa. The children 
 of John and Anne Vassall were a son (from whom descended Flo- 
 rentius, the above-named great-grandson of Samuel) , who remained 
 in the Westlndies, and Leonard, who came here and settled at 
 Quincy. 
 
 Major Leonard Vassall married a Miss Gale, and had four sons, 
 Lewis, John, William, and Henry, all of whom, except the last, 
 were graduates of Harvard College, respectively in the years 1728, 
 1732, and 1733. He had a daughter Susanna, who was married 
 to George Ruggles, Esq. of Cambridge, and another daughter, 
 who became the wife of Lieutenant-Governor Thomas Oliver. 
 
 Lewis died at Quincy, Sept. 15, 1743, leaving a son, Lewis, who 
 graduated in 1760, and died abroad, before August, 1785. 
 
 Colonel John, the second son of Major Leonard Vassall, lived 
 in Cambridge, where he built two large houses, one, which he gave 
 to his brother Henry, and the other which he occupied himself, 
 and where he died Nov. 27, 1747. His wife was Elizabeth, the 
 daughter of Lieutenant-Governor Spencer Phipps, of Cambridge. 
 They had a son, John, and daughters, Ruth, Elizabeth, and Lucy. 
 
 William Vassall, Esq., the third son of Leonard, resided in Bos- 
 ton, and also part of the time in Cambridge, in the house lately 
 occupied by I)r. B. Waterhouse. Mr. G. Whitney states that he 
 was sheriff of Middlesex county. He went to England before 
 the Revolution, and did not return. His son William also left the 
 country for ever in 1772, in company with the son of Governor 
 Hutchinson. 
 
 Colonel Henry Vassall, of Cambridge, the youngest son of Major 
 L. Vassall, was married to Miss Penelope Royal!, of Boston, in 
 1741. He lived in the respectable mansion, his brother's gift, now 
 occupied by Samuel Batchelder, Esq. His only child and daugh- 
 ter, Elizabeth, became the wife of Dr. Charles Russell, who went 
 to the West Indies in 1775, and died, a refugee, at Antigua, May 
 27, 1780 Colonel Henry Vassall died in Cambridge, March 17, 
 1769. 
 
 Major John Vassall, of Cambridge, the son of Colonel John, and 
 grandson of Major L. Vassall, of Quincy, graduated at Harvard 
 College in 1757. He, as well as his father, was an officer in the 
 militia, and held a commission of justice of the peace in the coun- 
 ty. He married Elizabeth, the sister of Lieutenant-Governor 
 Thomas Oliver, and had five sons and two daughters ; namely, 
 
APPENDIX. 181 
 
 John, Spencer Thomas, Thomas Oliver, Robert Oliver, Leonard, 
 Elizabeth, and Mary. The second son, Spencer Thomas Vassal, 
 rose to the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel in the British army, was 
 mortally wounded at the storming of Monte Video, and died Feb. 
 7, 1807, aged 40. His remains were carried to England, and in- 
 terred in St. Paul's Church, Bristol, where a monument, designed 
 by Flaxman, and an inscription, partly from the pen of Mrs. Opie, 
 perpetuate the memory of his bravery. Major Vassal, who took 
 a very active part with the Loyalists, was compelled to leave the 
 country, as well as others of the family, all of whom held the 
 same political sentiments. It is said, "His loyalty went so far, 
 that he would not use on his arms the family motto, scrpe fro rege^ 
 semper pro republica.^^ He died suddenly at Clifton, near Bath, 
 England, Oct. 2, 1797. Madam Vassall, his widow, also died at 
 Clifton, March 31, 1807. The estates of the family were confis- 
 cated, and the noble mansion of Major Vassall, in Cambridge, 
 became, successively, General Washington's head-quarters, the 
 residence of Andrew Cragie, Esq., and of his relict, the late 
 Madam Cragie, of Joseph E. Worcester, Esq., and, lastly, the 
 home of Professor Henry W. Longfellow. 
 
 The Vassall family has ever been distinguished for enterprise, 
 magnanimity, and noble bearing. If some of this name were not 
 only often, but always, for their king, it must be admitted that they 
 made as great sacrifices to loyalty, as did their forefathers to liberty. 
 
 REV. JOSEPH WILLARD, 
 
 The son of Rev. Samuel Willard, was born at Biddeford, Me., 
 Dec. 29, 1738, graduated at Harvard College in 1765, where he 
 was Tutor and Fellow ; he was inducted into the Presidency of 
 this institution, Dec 19, 1781, in which office he remained till his 
 death, Sept. 25, 1804, at the age of 64. His remains were de- 
 posited in the College vault, in the southerly part of the burying- 
 ground. In the words of President Quincy, " President Willard 
 was distinguished, as a scholar, for his acquaintance with classical 
 literature, and with mathematical and astronomical science ; as a 
 divine, for learning, candor, and Catholicism ; and, as the head of 
 the University, for a union of paternal kindness with firmness in 
 supporting the laws. His manners were simple and reserved. 
 His deportment dignified, and his character serious and contem- 
 plative. Having been called to the President's chair in the midst 
 of the Revolutionary war, when the general tone of morals was 
 weak, and the spirit of discipline enervated, he sustained the au- 
 thority of his station with consummate steadfastness and prudence. 
 He found the seminary embarrassed ; he left it free and prosperous. 
 His influence was uniformly happy, and, throughout his whole 
 connection with the institution, he enjoyed the entire confidence of 
 his associates in the government, the respect of the students, and 
 the undeviating approbation and support of the public."

My task is finished. The path of the schoolboy has led him 
 through the neglected spot, among mouldering graves, and moss- 
 covered, leaning stones, where rest many of the wise and good, 
 and where, 
 
 " Each in his narrow cell for ever laid, 
 The rude forefathers of the hamlet sleep." 
 
 There have been gathered the records of the dead ; once more 
 their forgotten names have been brought to view ; their tale has 
 been briefly told ; and nothing remains but to add, requiescant in 
 pace. I
