INTRODUCTION.

A desire to trace a lineage and to perpetuate its remembrance, seems to have been
so prevalent among enlightened and semi-civilized people, and even among barbarians,
of all ages, even the remotest to which either history or tradition extends, that it
may be regarded as an instinct of human nature — an innate principle, implanted for
wise and benevolent purposes. If so, ought it not to be cherished by the wise and
the good ?
It cannot be doubted that the practice, founded on a kindred principle, lately
adopted by some of our collegiate institutions, of watching and noting the course of
the lives of their sons, and placing the prominent points of their bistory on record,
will be beneficent to those institutions, and exercise a salutary influence upon those
whose names may be enrolled in their archives. It will produce a more lively mutual
interest between the alma mater and her sons, and it may awaken in the latter a
stronger desire that their names in the record be not followed by a blank or a blot.
Genealogies, besides gratifying a natural and enlightened curiosity, may exercise
a similar salutary influence, tending to maintain in their social position, families
already elevated, and to elevate the lowly.
When persons affect an utter indifference to their lineage, or a history of the past
generations of their families, and deride any attention to them as a foolish weakness
and vanity, they are contravening an innate principle, and it may be generally
suspected that they have some knowledge of a lineage, which they would consign to
oblivion, because it is untitled, and without a good renown. Some such persons
build costly ostentatious monuments to procure present distinction, and a lasting
memorial for themselves, while they never inquire for the burial-place of their an
cestors, and leave their graves to utter and most disrespectful neglect. Let the
visitor, who has been admiring the costly, tasteful memorials in Mount Auburn
Cemetery, extend his excursion half a mile farther,-and he may find graves decayed,
and ancient gravestones sunken or dilapidated, and overgrown with weeds and
brambles, where were buried the Puritan ancestors of some of the builders of those
admired monuments. It would be incongruous, and badly harmonize with the habits
and principles of those early Puritan immigrants, to erect costly ornamental monu
ments over their remains; but it would be consistent with good taste, and a just
regard for the first planters of Massachusetts Bay, for some Old Mortality to divest
those graves of their unseemly covering, and remould them ; to reset or replace the
sunken and dilapidated gravestones, and recut the simple inscriptions, which time
has nearly obliterated.
Some persons become so engrossed with sordid interests and the indulgence
of the animal instincts, so insensible to the ties of consanguinity, and the happi
ness derived from the cultivation of the domestic affections, that in them this
innate principle is not merely dormant, but so dead that it would require a miracle
to revive it. They will not make the smallest sacrifice, nor forego a trifling indul-
o-ence out of respect to the memory of an ancestor. They would exchange an old

IV INTRODUCTION.
family portrait for that of a danseuse, or of a popular partisan, and part with the old
family Bible for the flashy outside of a soulless annual, or perhaps for a dollar, if it
could be invested at a good percentage.
In most persons, however, this principle — the affinity of consanguinity — does not
lack vitality ; it only acts in a narrow sphere, or slumbers for want of incitements to
awaken it, or the means and opportunities to manifest it. They will listen with
eager attention and gratification to records and traditions relating to their ancestors,
and their interest will increase with the enlargement of their information. To many
such persons, it is hoped, that this work will be an acceptable offering and service,
doing for them what it is not in their power so fully to accomplish. They are in
debted for it chiefly to that ill health which has enforced a diminished devotion to a
laborious profession, which was pursued for many years with affection and assiduity.
Its prosecution has afforded the author a very interesting occupation to many other
wise unoccupied hours. This statement will be appreciated only by those who have
been engaged in similar pursuits.
Some persons will prosecute a genealogy so far as there is some honor or distinc
tion accruing from it, so far as it will aid in a family glorification ; but if any branch
of it has declined into humble or obscure life, it is lopped off, unrecognized, and they
would verify the Italian proverb, that " Poor folks have neither any kindred or
friends." To such persons it may be distasteful that we have not acted on this
principle, as neither families nor individuals have been omitted on account of their
humble position. In this country, where the laws of primogeniture and of entail
ment are not recognized, and family training is so often defective and erroneous;
where the vicissitudes of family rank and fortune are so great and so constantly oc
curring, it would not be strange if some descendants of those humble families should
be found, at no very remote period, occupying high social positions, and that the
wheel, whose revolution had brought them to the zenith, had carried the supercilious
family to the nadir. Illustrations of this are abundant everywhere. So far as ability
and opportunity have permitted, our researches have been prosecuted, and the results
presented, with something of that minuteness and fidelity, which characterize the
earnest students of natural science.
Although the leading object has been the genealogies of the very early settlers, it
will be found that the work is not confined to them exclusively, nor to the residents
of Watertown; but that it includes such notices of later settlers and of transient resi
dents as are to be found in the records. The families of some of the later settlers
became numerous, and they have filled a large space in our pages and in the interests
of the town. There are also included brief or partial genealogies of some families in
the neighboring towns, that have been intimately allied to Watertown families.
This will enable very many persons to trace back their lineage much farther, and
more satisfactorily, than they coilld have done without them.
The names of numerous persons are embraced in the following genealogies, of
whom it would be easy to collect the materials for copious biographies, and who well
deserve them. Of many of them, indeed, they are already written, and we have
sometimes been strongly inclined to overstep our prescribed limits, and to use the
materials at hand for a more full biographical delineation. But it is obvious that
this would not comport with the plan and scope of the work. In the few instances,
where we may seem to have transcended our limits, the cases were extraordinary, and
are exceptions.
There appeared to be an obvious propriety, not to say necessity, that the Family
Memorials should be preceded by a history of the town. But it seemed presump
tuous for the author to undertake it, under all his disadvantages, after it had been
written by a gentleman so able and accomplished as the Rev. Dr. Francis, and at the
time he resided there. His History of Watertown did not, however, seem to be
sufficiently full and precise upon some points to answer our purpose, and we have
been very solicitous that he should supply those deficiencies, and allow it to be in-

INTRODUCTION. V
serted as an introduction to the genealogies. Not being successful in this, nor in
prevailing upon another friend to undertake it, who is very competent to accomplish
it in the best manner, we have reluctantly been compelled to compose an historical
memoir, which will be found in the Appendix. It is devoted almost exclusively to
the early times, and it claims to be little more than an introduction to a history of
the town. All that can be hoped for it is, that its simple statements of dry details
may furnish some entertainment to the few persons who are interested in such
archaeological researches. We cannot advise others to turn their attention to it with
the expectation that they will be entertained and instructed ; and with them we may
incur the imputation of being tediously minute upon very trifling and unimportant
matters. No one can be more sensible than the author is of the deficiencies of the work — ¦
of the great improvement of which it is susceptible, by a full revision and re-arrange
ment. It has grown from a very small beginning to its present magnitude by innu
merable increments, sometimes so added, and of such extent, as to give certain parts
a misshapen overgrowth, they having been inserted after the general arrangement of
the particular genealogy was made, and could not be conveniently altered. '
The first part of the work was put to press three years ago, when the writer had
not the prospect of being able to prosecute it any farther, when he was not able to
digest and arrange all the materials in his possession, and when the field of research
was, as it still is, very far from being exhausted. Yet it then seemed advisable to
the writer, and to the friends whom he consulted, to print it, such as it then was,
leaving additions and corrections to be made by others, rather than to leave such a
mass of materials to be lost, or left to the care of those who might not appreciate or
understand them. Some of the genealogies had an especial need of re-arrangement,
particularly those of the Stearns families, which are the most copious of any in the
work. But they had become so interwoven with others by such very numerous
references, that the labor of it seemed then to be altogether beyond the writer's
ability. In a work entering into such copious and minute details, containing such an exten
sive and complicated network of references, and made up of materials derived from
such a variety of sources, not always reliable for accuracy, it cannot be expected that
every point has been ascertained to a demonstration. It is likely that further re
search will discover many errors and deficiencies ; and the author will be thankful to
those who will transmit to him such as may be discovered. Should this invitation
meet with a ready response, the result may hereafter be laid before the public in a
supplement, or some other form.
It would be most agreeable and congenial to the author's feelings to make full and
special acknowledgments for all the aid he has received. It has come from sources
almost innumerable, — so numerous that it would be nearly impossible to enter into
full details. The reader will find many such acknowledgments in the course of the
work. But there are other instances where very valuable aid and co-operation have
been rendered by persons whom we would gladly designate, but whose modesty
shrinks from the little publicity it would be in our power to give them. From some
of those authors, mentioned in Appendix IIV we have received valuable aid in addi
tion to what has been derived from their published works, particularly A. H. Ward
and Francis Jackson, Esq'rs. For information respecting the numerous Lunenburg
families, whose lineage is traced to Watertown, we are indebted to John R. Rollins,
Esq., for the loan of his digested transcript of the town records. For most of the
materials for the genealogy of the Bellows family (p. 532), we are indebted to the
fair hand of one, who wishes her name to remain sub umbra. This case is not
singular, for we could refer to many like it.
It is stated, p. 916, that there is, in the family of the late Hon. Leverett Salton-
stall, of Salem, a very valuable portrait of Sir Richard Saltonstall, the chief founder
of Watertown. Through the kindness of Leverett Saltonstall, Esq., of Boston, we

VI INTRODUCTION.
have the happiness to illustrate this work with the portrait of that truly good and
great man. We appreciate this privilege the more highly, as it is not known that
his likeness was ever before published. The English pedigree of Sir Richard may
be seen in Clutterbuck's History of Hertfordshire, foL, Vol. III. pp. 362-3. But
we have received it, revised and extended by Mr. L. Saltonstall, of Boston, and
Mr. George D. Phippen, of Salem. To the same gentlemen we are indebted for a
large part of the materials for the genealogy of Sir Richard's descendants. Much of
our information has, however, been derived from other sources, among which may
be mentioned the Historical Sketch of Haverhill, with Biographical Notices, by Hon.
Leverett Saltonstall. The materials for the brief biographical notices of Sir Richard
and his children, have, however, been gleaned by the author from various other
sources. Most of the information respecting Gov. Gurdon Saltonstall and his de
scendants was received from a very accomplished and obliging correspondent, who
desires us to make no public acknowledgment. The aid received from Mr. L.
Saltonstall is the more highly appreciated as he has commenced an extensive and
thorough search for materials for a history of the Saltonstall fatnily. For the
copious materials for a genealogy of the descendants of Mr. Samuel Phillips [38], of
Salem, we are chiefly indebted to a gentleman greatly respected for his talents and
learning, and beloved for his private virtues.
JUgf A list of the works and authors referred to, or consulted, in the prosecu
tion of this work, is inserted in Appendix II., with an explanation of some abbre
viated titles.

EXPLANATIONS.
The arrangement of each genealogy, at first adopted many years ago, corresponded
very nearly with that of the Minot family, published in the first volume of the
Genealogical Register. But the accumulation of materials was becoming so great,
that it was necessary to compress them as much as perspicuity and fulness of details
would admit. It was also necessary, in a work including so many genealogies, and
where the references are so numerous and constantly occurring, to adopt the most
convenient plan of referring from one genealogy or family to another. It seemed
desirable alsp, as far as it could be done conveniently, to arrange two or more
generations of a family synoptically, so that their relationship inio-ht be more
readily seen than they can be when all the branches are arranged into distinct
families, and widely distributed in different and remote pages. This part of the plan
seems to possess the advantages of condensation and perspicuity.
The genealogies are arranged alphabetically, as may be seen in the running titles
at the top of each page. Where the materials of a genealogy are sufficiently copious
to be arranged in a tabular form, ordinal numbers are placed in the left margin of
the page, next to the perpendicular line, beginning with 1, opposite to the first name
in the genealogy, and continuing the numbers to the end of it. In several instances
a cross (f) will be found affixed to an ordinal number. This indicates a duplicate
number, and that it has been introduced interstitially, subsequently to the arrange
ment of the table.
Where another number occurs in the margin, opposite to the ordinal number, it
refers the reader to that ordinal number in the same genealogy, where other infor
mation may be found. If it be less than the opposite ordinal number, it will refer
back to the individual's parentage ; if it be larger, it will refer forward to his or her
marriage and distinct family.
In many instances, it will be seen that several names come under, or belong to

INTRODUCTION. Vll
one ordinal number, as those of a father and his children, and sometimes his grand
children. When one of these children or grandchildren is referred to in another
part of the work, two or three numbers will be included in the brackets, thus
[146-4-2]. The first is the ordinal number in the place referred to; the 2d number
[4.], denotes the fourth child of [146] ; and the 3d number [2.], indicates the second
child of [4.]'.
In some instances, as in the Stearns families, where very numerous names come
under one ordinal number, italic letters have been inserted between it and the next
ordinal number for the convenience of reference. Where this is the case, and one of
the names is referred to in another part of the work, a number, a letter, and a num
ber, are included in brackets, thus, [58-0.-3]. Here [58.] is the ordinal number; [d.]
indicates one of the children or grandchildren of [58.]; and [3.] indicates the third
child of [a!.].
In the genealogy of Isaac Stearns, the first four generations are arranged distinctly
from the fifth and from each other; and in each of them the ordinal numbers begin
and terminate with that generation. When, therefore, there is a reference to any
name in this genealogy, Roman letters are included in the brackets, thus [I. Stearns
36, IV.], showing that the ordinal number [36.] is to be sought in the fourth
generation. By a re-arrangement of some of the genealogies, as before referred to, all this in
convenient and unnecessary complexity might be, and ought to be avoided. The
genealogies thus defective are among those first compiled, and to them only are most
of these explanations applicable and necessary.
The heads (parents) of a distinct family are printed in ROMAN CAPITALS, and
the prefixed Roman capitals in a parenthesis denote his or her generation ; whether it
be the 2d, 3d, or more remote generation from the first in that genealogy. Below a
line, immediately succeeding, are the names of their children in small capitals.
Where a family, or any part of it, is arranged synoptically, as before mentioned, the
grandchildren are printed in italics, and removed a small space [2 ems] to the right.
Great-grandchildren are removed still farther [4 ems] to the right, and are printed
in small Roman letters.
When a number in brackets [ J immediately follows a name, find that name in
the top of the page (among the running titles), and the number among the ordinal
numbers belonging to that name.
This mark (?) (interrogation point in a parenthesis), denotes that what imme
diately follows it is not clearly ascertained, — that it is questionable or conjectural,
and requires further research in order to its determination.
In England and her colonies, the Julian Calendar was retained until 1752, when
the Gregorian Calendar, or New Style, was adopted by an Act of Parliament. As
an account of these Calendars, and the reason for the change of the one for the other,
may be found in various works, we omit an explanation of them. That which seems
to be the most condensed and lucid, and probably accessible to most inquirers, is the
article Calendar in Brande's Dictionary of Science, Literature, and Art. We have
inserted dates as they are found in the ancient records, without altering them so as
to correspond with the New Style. The Roman names of the months have (except
in a very few instances) been adopted, instead of the numerals, which were generally
used by the Puritans.
In order to make the dates previous to 1752 correspond, in the solar year, within
the New Style, it is necessary to add 11 to dates of days between 1600 and 1700,
and 12 to the dates between 1700 and 1752. Thus, the Arbella arrived at Salem,
June 12th, 1630, O. S., which (adding 11) would be June 23, N. S. Water-
town Church was organized, July 28, 1630, 0. S., which would be August 8th,
N. S. Weston was incorporated Jan. 1, 1712, 0. S., which (adding 12) would be
Jan. 13, N. S.
According to the Julian Calendar, or Old Style, the year began March 25th, and

Vlll INTRODUCTION.
the same days, between Jan. 1 and March 25th, belonged to different years in the
Old and New Styles. This occasioned double dating, which will be found in the
following pages, thus : Jan. 8, 1675-6, or 167f, indicates the year 1675, 0. S., or
1676, N. S. By recurring to § 57, p. 1000, it will be seen that, in the records of
Watertown, previous to 1648, the year was considered as beginning on the 1st of
March, but not after that date.
We have aimed at exactness in dates ; but, to our regret, some mistakes are dis
covered, which are attributable to typographical errors, to oversight in repeated
transcriptions, or to the difficulty in some instances of deciphering a bad chirography.

named Wethersfield, Conn. His name is on the list of proprietors of Wat, in
1642. although he had gone to Connecticut several years before. [See Register
of Abbot families, p. 173.]
Neherniah Abbott, •' of Andover," on May 11, 1714, bought, of Thomas Woolson,

bably about the time of the above sale. The birth of only two of his children are
recorded, but probably he had at least five. 1. John, b. Aug. 6, 1645; 2. George,

BENJAMIN.
JOHN BENJAMIN arrived in the ship Lion, Sept. 16, 1632 ; was adm. freeman Nov-
6, 1632; was a proprietor of Camb., and perhaps he first settled there. If so, it was
only for a short time, as his house, with goods to the amount of £100, was burnt in
Wat. Ap. 7, 1636. [Winthrop, I. 185.] Gov. Winthrop designates him as "Mr. Ben
jamin," and in 1642 he had the largest homestall in Wat. He d. June 14, 1645, and
inventory (£297, 3, 2), was made by Simon Stone, John Eddie, and Thomas Mar-
ret. His will, dated June 12, 1645, two days before his death, mentions beloved
wife, not named, eldest son John, and 7 other chil. not named, some of whom
were "small." [See Gen. Reg., III. 176.] He appointed "my brother John
Eddie, of Wat," and Thomas Marret, of Camb., executors. His wid., ABIGAIL,
went with her son-in-law,Uoshua Stubbs, to Charlestown about 1654, where she d.
May 20, 1687, aged 87. Probably she did not live continuously in Charlestown.
Mar. 28, 1670, Abigail Benjamin, spinster of Wat, for £12, sold to John Welling
ton, of Wat, three parcels of land in Camb. [As a Richard Benjamin came over
with John in 1632, and was proprietor of Wat. in 1642, he may have been a
brother, instead of a son, of John, Senr. His age at his embarkation is not given.]
1.. Mary. She d. Ap. 10, 1646. Her will, proved June 4, 1646 [See Geneal. Reg.

BENJAMIN.

27

III. 178], mentions Pastor Knolls, her aunt Wines, sister Abigail Stubbs, cousin
Anne Wyes, and brothers, not named. [This Will renders it very probable that
her father left only two daughters; that the wife of Barnabas Wines was a sister
of John Benjamin, sen., or of his wife, and that Anne Wyes, in the will, should
be Wines.]
2. Abigail, m., about 1640 or '41, Joshua Stubbs, of Wat, adm. freeman May 2,
1649, by whom she had at least three chil., viz. :
1. Samuel, b. Aug. 3, 1642.
2. Mary, m., Mar. 24, 1674-5, John Traine. [Traine, 10.]
3. Elizabeth, m., about 1674, Jonathan Stimson. [Stirtison, 1.] Nov. 8, 1654,
Joshua Stubbs, then of Charlestown, and wife Abigail, with the consent of
mother Abigail Benjamin, sold to Joseph Underwood, for £30, their home-
stall (a house and 12 acres), and several other parcels of land in Wat. He
d. soon after this date, and his wid. m. John Woodward. [Woodward, 14.]
3. JoriN, d. in Wat, Dec. 22, 1706, aged 86.
4. Richard, proprietor of Wat., 1642, by wife Anna, had-l^jwia, b. in Wat., Sept.
1643. He settled on Long Island, and was adm. freeman of Connecticut, 1664.
It is questionable whether this was a son of the first John.
5. Joshua, 'of Charlestown, d. 1684, s. p. leaving wid. Thankful.
6. Samuel, b. 1628, took oath of fidelity 1652; by wife Mary, had dr. Mary, b. in
Wat; May 12, 1666. Oct. 28, 1667, he and wife Mary sold to Daniel Medup
three lots of land. 1st 120 acres adjoining lands of his mother; 2d. 6 acres in
Little Nonesuch Meadow; 3d. Farm lands elsewhere surrounding. In the same
month, Oct. 19, 1667, he sold to his mother, Abigail, for £35, 10 acres with the
mansion house, &c. He moved to Hoccanum, in Hartford, Conn., and d. 1669,
leaving wife Mary exec'r, brother Caleb overseer, and sons Samuel and John,
and drs. Mary and Abigail. [See Hinman, p. 114-15.]
7. Caleb, settled in Wethersfield, Conn., adm. freeman of Conn., 1669; d. May 8,
1684, leaving wife Mary, and chil. 1. Mary, aged 13. 2. Abigail, aged 11.
3. Sarah, aged 8. 4. John, aged 6. 5. Samuel, aged 5. 6. Martha, aged 3.
Caleb Benjamin, who d. in Wethersfield, 1709, leaving son John (Ex'r) and 4
drs., was probably an elder son. [Hinman, p. 114 and 198.]
8. Abel, of Charlestown, m., Nov. 6, 1671, Amithy Myrick. His will, dated July
3, 1710, mentions wife Amithy, son John, and gr. son John, dr. Mary, dr. Abi
gail, b. Aug. 26, 1680, and brother Joshua.

BISCOE (BRISCOE).
NATHANIEL, the progenitor of this Watertown family, wrote his name Briscoe,
which is, undoubtedly; the true orthography; but it became an early usage in the
records to write it Biscoe and Bisco, which usage has continued to this time.
The name, Briscoe, occurs frequently in the Boston town record between 1642
and 1686, but it has not been ascertained what affinity there was, if any, between
those of Boston and those of Watertown. Arms of Brisco, of Co. of Cumberland,
and of Sussex. Ar. three greyhounds courant in pale sa. Crest A greyhound cour-

(I.) NATHANIEL BISCOE, "the rich tanner," was in Watertown as early as
1642, and probably 3 or 4 years earlier. In that year he wrote and circulated pri
vately a pamphlet "against the way of supporting ministers," that gave great
offence, and for which he was fined ten pounds. In that year, his barn, with
leather and corn, amounting to £100, was destroyed by fire. He was so dissatis
fied with the prevalent ecclesiastical intolerance that he returned to England about
the end of 1651, or early the next year. Oct. 2, 1651, he sold to John Wincol the
46 acres of land, which he purchased of the town; deed witnessed by Thomas
Broughton, Nathaniel Biscoe, Jr., and Mary Broughton. He wrote a letter, dated
London, Sept. 7, 1652, printed in Vol. I., 3d series of Mass. Hist. Coll., which fell
into the hands of Government, and produced some excitement at the time. His
wife, ELIZABETH, was buried in Wat., Nov. 20, 1642. In that letter he mentions
his uncle Richard Briscoe, who died a, little before the date of the letter. He had
four children, whom he left in Massachusetts. [See Winthrop's Journal, II., 92
and 3; also Francis's History of Wat; also the letter above-mentioned.]
1. Nathaniel, mentioned in his father's letter, 1652, and by Gov. Winthrop as " a
gentleman born," was, in 1639, Usher of Nathaniel Eaton, "the first person
who had charge of the Institution," (Harv. Coll.). Concerning the barbarous and
tyrannical conduct of Eaton, and his fate, see Winthrop's Journal, I., 308, and
Peirce's History of the College. He (N. B.) was living Sept., 1652.

(then a merchant of Boston), bought of Rev. Henry Dunster, the mills (corn and
fulling) on Mistick River, on Menotomy land, which mills said T. B. had built.
He also bought of Parnell and Samuel Nowell, of Charlestown, for £85, that
farm of upland and meadow, containing 300 A., which the town had granted
to their father, Mr. Increase Nowell, bounded S. W. by Camb. line, N. W. by

BOND.
On referring to Doomsday-book, it will be found that numerous estates were held in Eng
land by families of the name of BOND in the time of Edward the Confessor, and through
later years down to the formation of the survey by William the Conqueror. They held
estates in the Counties of Cornwall, Dorset, Essex, Kent, Hants, Berks, Bedford, Suffolk,
Gloucester, Northampton, and York, and in several Counties held two or more estates.
Whether these were held by a few wealthy families, or by as many families as there were
estates, has not been clearly ascertained; but it is probable that the families were nume
rous. The most distinguished families of the name in England, for the last three or four
centuries, trace their lineage to Earth and Holewood in the County of Cornwall; and
some of the old writers of Heraldry speak of stirps antiquissima Bondorum of that County.
There is _. tradition — the very common tradition — that three brothers of the name of
Bond first came to this country a little previous to 1650. One of them, THOMAS, said to
have been a physician, settled in Virginia or Maryland. Of him the writer knows nothing.
Perhaps he was the ancestor of that distinguished physician and surgeon, Dr. Thomas
Bond, of Philadelphia, the leader among the founders of Pennsylvania Hospital, who was
born in Maryland, in 1712. Another of the three, JOHN, settled in Newbury, Mass., and
was a proprietor, 1642. He has descendants in New England, New York, Pennsylvania,
Ohio, and Michigan. The other, WILLIAM, said to have been educated a merchant,
settled in Watertown, Mass.; and from him are descended most of the families of the name
of Bond in New England.
The results of the recent researches of Mr. H. G. Somerley, in England, tend to dis
credit this tradition. He has satisfactorily ascertained that the first William Bond of
Watertown, was a son of Thomas and Elizabeth Bond, of Bury St. Edmunds, Suffolk Co.,
England, and that he was baptized there, in the church of St. James, Sept. 8, 1625. This
William had brothers, Thomas and John, older than himself; but the Will of their father,
Thomas, renders it very probable, that all his sons, except William, settled in England.
This Thomas Bond (father of William), was the youngest son of Jonas and Rose Bond,
of Bury St. Edmunds. It is probable that this Jonas Bond moved into Bury St. Edmunds
after the birth of his second child, as his eldest two children were not baptized there, and
he may have moved from Hawley or Woolpit, where, according to his Will, he owned
houses. He was buried Aug. 5, 1601. It is probable that the maiden name of his wife
was Wood. [See Bond, Appendix I.]

It is probable that he had one Mary by each wife.

Besides the families and descendants of William, of Wat, and of John, of Newbury,
there were families of the name of Bond in Boston from the middle to the end of the 17th
century, who are not known to have left any descendants. There was a Robert Bond,
who was an early settler (1648), of East Hampton, L. I., probably afterwards of Connec
ticut. Perhaps he was a' descendant of Robert Bond, of Bury St. Edmunds, who had a son
Robert, bap. Jan. 30, 1572.
There are numerous families of Bonds scattered through almost every State in the Union.
Some of them trace their lineage directly to emigrants from England, while the lineage
of others is soon lost in a vague tradition. Of the latter class are several families in the
City and County of Philadelphia, and in the adjoining County of Chester, who say that
their ancestors first settled on Long Island and in the County of West Chester, N. Y. Other
families are comparatively new-comers from England and Ireland.
For some account of the Bonds, in England, see Burke's Genealogical Heraldic History
of the Commoners of England, Vol. I.
It has not been satisfactorily ascertained what coat of arms, if any, the Bonds of Bury
St Edmunds, or of Suffolk, were entitled to bear. The most ancient one belonging to the
name Bond, and not appropriated to any one family or locality, is very simple, viz. : sable,
a fesse or. The arms of the very ancient family of Earth and Holewood, Cornwall, which
have been borne by several scattered branches, and which it has been supposed that the
Bonds of Bury St. Edmunds were entitled to bear, are the following:— Arg. on a chev. sa.
three Bezants. Crest, a demi pegasus az. winged and semee of etoiles or. Motto, Non
suffwit orhs. I leave this point to be determined by those who deem it of such import
ance as to deserve an elaborate investigation.

His first marriage is the earliest mention of him in the town records. There is, how
ever, a deposition on the files of the county court, which renders it very probable, that he
came to America at a very early age, in 1630, with Deacon Ephraim Child, and which
greatly strengthens the presumption that Elizabeth, wife of Dea. Child, was a sister of his
father. She had lived several years with her second husband without having children ;
and the presumption is, that when she was about to embark for America, her brother^
Thomas Bond, who was filling his own house with sons, gave his third son, William, to
his sister to supply a void, of which she would be the more sensible in her new abode.
[See Dea. E. Child.] The following is the deposition : " William Bond, aged about 55
years, Testifieth yt I ye deponent lived at the lower end of Watertowne next Cambridge
fiftee years agoe [not fifteen, as is evident from the context] ; and was well acquainted
with the land yt belongs to widdow Thatcher, which was formerly Deacon Ephraim
Childs, and alsoe with ye lott yt was old goodman Warrens; which joyned to said Decon
Childs, between which two lots ye way now in controversie is contended for; and I ye
deponent cannot remember yt ever thare any allowed way thare, but ye two lotts afore
spoken of weare Improved closs to one another and no footway, I ever  of; or
any other way yt was ever granted by ye town. Sworn 20, 10, 1681."
He purchased a farm, originally settled by Capt William Jennison, who sold it to Rev.
John Knowles. After the return of Mr. Knowles to England, and while he resided at
Bristol, he executed a deed, dated Mar. 15, 1654-5, conveying his estate in Wat., for the
sum of £200, to William Bond, in the possession of whose descendants it remained more
than 170 years. It is now owned by John P. Cushing, Esq., of Wat., whose taste and
princely liberality have made it one of the most elegant residences in New England.
He received, at different times, numerous offices and appointments of trust. He was
often employed in taking Inventories, writing Wills and Deeds, and settling estates. He
was Selectman, Town Clerk, a Captain,* a Justice of the Peace, a member of the Coun
cil of Safety in 1689; often represented Watertown, and was elected Speaker of the
General Court in 1691, '92, '93, and '95, being the first speaker elected under the new
Royal Charter, which united the colonies of Plymouth and Massachusetts Bay into one
colony. He was admitted freeman, Oct. 11, 1682, and to the church, f. c. Mar. 27, 1687.
Oct. 7, 1679, he was appointed by the County Court, according to a law then in force, on
a committee, consisting of Capt. Thomas Prentice, Mr. William Bond, and Dea. John
Stone, to rebuild Lancaster, which had been destroyed by Indians. [See Willard's History
of Lancaster, Worcester Mag. II., 294.] June 10, 1686, he was appointed by the Presi
dent and Council of Mass., on a committee, with general powers to order and regulate all
matters concerning the settlement of Worcester. [Lincoln's History of Worcester, p. 33.]

appointed on the same commission, with Capt. Thomas Prentice, of Newton, on distant duty, perhaps he was
Lieut, under that distinguished commander of horse. In 1692, those parts of Watertown, which subsequently
became the towns of Watertown, Waltham, and AVeston, were designated as the precincts of Capt. Bond's Com
pany, of Captain Garfield's Company, and Lieut. Jones's Company.

He held a Justice's commission more than 24 years, and was sometimes called
" the marrying Squire," on account of the great frequency of his officiating at
weddings during the long time he held office. He represented the town many
times in the General Court, and was often intrusted with its most important
municipal business. He belonged to the military force sent into Canada in 1690,
under Sir Wm. Phipps. On the 19th June, 1721, Jonas Bond, Esq., of Watertown.
Francis Fulham, Esq., of Weston, and Francis Bowman, Esq., of Lexington, were
commissioned by the Governor and Council "to be Commissioners of Sewers,"
and the immediate object of their appointment was "the cleansing and removing
all such banks and other obstructions in the aforesaid river (Sudbury and Concord)
which do occasion the overflowing thereof, and of drowning the meadows and
other lowlands adjoining or lying on said river; and to employ workmen and
labourers to effect the same." The extent of the work was " from the mill-pond
of Christopher Osgood, in Billerica bounds, to the cart bridge in Sudbury." On
his gravestone in Watertown is the following epitaph :
" Here lies buried the body of
Jonas Bond. Esq.,
who was called of God to serve the public, both as a Lieut. Colonel of a regiment
of militia, and as a Justice of the Peace, and was careful to discharge his trusts
with zeal,' fidelity, and courage ; who was a man of unaffected piety, which was
attended with all those virtues that are requisite to accomplish a Christian ; who
was a kind husband, a tender father, a steady friend, and a hearty lover of good
men; and, having served his generation, by the will of God fell asleep Ap. 21.
1727, a_tatis suae 63."

" Memento mori fugit hora.

following brief obituary appeared in a Springfield paper the day after his
decease :
" It is with profound regret that we record the death of one of our oldest
and most respectable citizens, Mr. Thomas Bond. He died on Tuesday,
after a brief illness, at the age of 74. Twenty-seven years ago he removed
from West Brookfield to this town, and from that day to this, he has main
tained a character, spotless in its honour, and radiant in its discriminating
and unostentatious benevolence. Though it is in the course of nature that
a life, leaning so far from the shore of time over the ocean of eternity,
should drop its ripened apple of gold into the abyss, we still weep to see it
disappear, and miss it with sorrow from the trembling bough which it
adorned, and where it hung."

He was a Lieut. Colonel under Col. Thomas Gardner, who was mortally
wounded in the battle of Bunker Hill, and d. July 1st. After that event, he (W.
B.), had the command of that Regiment, which, in Nov. 1775, was arranged as
the 25th Regiment of the Continental Army, and belonged to Gen. Green's Bri
gade, which was stationed on Prospect Hill. Early in the following March, the 5th
and 25th Reg'ts (Col. Stark's, and Col. Bond's), received marching orders for New
York, where they arrived on the 30th of the month. On the 20th April, 4 Regi
ments (the 8th, Col. Poor's; the 15th, Col. Patterson's; the 24th, Col. Greaton's;
the 25th, Col. Bond's) were ordered to Canada, being the first detachment ordered
thither, by the way of the Lakes, on that expedition which proved so disastrous
to the Americans, partly on account of the extreme sickliness of the season, and
partly on account of the incompetency of some of the numerous generals, who
were successively in command. He returned from Canada, with his force greatly
weakened by disease and death, and encamped on Mount Independence, opposite
to Ticonderoga. For the important services rendered by the 25th Reg't, in the
retreat of the army from Canada, see Gordon's Hist, of the Am. Revolution,
vol. ii., pp. 260, '61, and '62.
The following is extracted from a letter, dated " Camp Mount Independence,
opposite Ticonderoga, Sept. 4, 1776," and published in the Boston Gazette, of
Sept. 23, 1776. " On the 31st ult, departed this life, Col. William Bond. He
met the last enemy with the greatest calmness and intrepidity. In his death out
country has lost a true patriot, and a most vigilant officer of tried bravery. The
first of this instant his remains were escorted with military parade to the place of
burial in the front of the Regiment, where the Rev. Ebenezer David delivered a
funeral oration and a prayer. After which the corpse was interred, and the
Colonel's character honoured by a discharge of three 24 pounders, and the usual
volleys of musketry. The whole was conducted in a manner suitable to the occa-

BRIGHT.

BRIGHT.*
There were two early settlers of Watertown of the name of HENRY BRIGHT, who,_ from
their respective ages, had been supposed to be father and sort. A careful examination of
the town and county records had rendered this supposition extremely improbable, and the
late extensive researches in England by H. G. Somerby, Esq., have clearly disproved it.
HENRY BRIGHT, Sen., in the town record sometimes called "old Bright," d. in Wat.,
Sept. 14, 1674, "above a hundred years old," according to the town records, and 109 years
old, according to the county records. Owing to his great age and indigence, he was taken
care of by the town for some time previous to his decease. His Inventory amounted to
only £2 9s. It included " 1 pair of shop shears," rendering it probable that he had been
a tailor. It included no land, although he had formerly been a proprietor. It is probable
that he came over between the year 1637, when his name is not on the list of proprietors,
and 1642, when he owned a homestall of 8 acres.
HENRY BRIGHT, Jr., came to America as early as 1630, and probably at the same
time with Gov. Winthrop, as they were from the same County (Suffolk), and their families
were remotely related by marriage. His name is the 48th on the list of members of the
first church of Boston, that was originally organized in Charlestown, which shows that he
must have been a member of it in 1630.
To the liberality of my friend, Mr. J. B. Bright, of Waltham, and to the scrutinizing and
persevering researches of Mr. Somerby, in England, we, the numerous descendants of Dea.
Henry Bright, are indebted for the following information respecting his pedigree, and for
the accompanying illustrations.

st. mart's church, bury st. Edmund's.
The rebuilding of St. Mary's Church (originally erected A.D. 1005), was begun in
1424, and finished about 1433. This fine structure is 139 ft. long (exclusive of the chan
cel, which is 74 by 68 ft), and 67£ ft. in breadth. The roof of the nave, which was framed
at Caen, in Normandy, is admired for its lightness and elegance. [See Guide, &c, of
Bury St Edmund's.] The first Walter Bright [see pedigree], belonged to this church, as
did also John Bright, his presumed father, and his two sons, John and Edmund. It was
in this churchyard that Thomas Bond (father of the first William Bond, of Wat.), requested
to be buried.
Thomas Bright, Sen. [see pedigree], whose likeness is here presented, was an Alder
man, and a liberal benefactor of Bury St. Edmund's. In the Guild Hall is an original por
trait of him, which was procured by the Corporation, and from which the annexed en
graving was taken. Beneath the picture, on the same panel, is the following inscription :
* Mr. Somerby says, " My friend, Thomas Wright, Esq., F. S. A., the best Saxon scholar in England, gives me
the origin of this name thus : 'The name Bright, is an excellent Anglo-Saxon name. In the Saxon it was spell
Beorht. It is the simple word bright; but it was used then with much more extensive meaning, as signifying
distinguished, excellent, surpassing in courage, or anything else;— as you would say now, a shining fellow.
We say a bright fellow, more with reference to his intelligence ; hence the name means an excellent or dis
tinguished man. Beorht was a common name among the Anglo-Saxons, and is often found in the records.'"

" Thomas Bright, sometyme draper* of this Town, a worthy benefactor, who gave for
the benefit of this towne the Inheritance of a portion of Thythes worth x lbs. per annum,
and an equal part of his goods, as much as he gave any of his children, which amounted
toccclb. 1587."
Abstract of his Will, proved 1587. Wife MARGARET to have the manor of Botters.
in Tomson, Co. Norfolk, with the tenement called Brightmeares, and others; also, the
manor of Brookhall, in Foxearth, Co. Essex. After her death, son Thomas to have the
Norfolk estate, and his son Walter to succeed. To his son Robert his property in Great
Barton, called Barton Place. To son Henry, his lands in Barton, and in other towns and
parishes, which he purchased of Sir Robert Jermyn, Knight, and George Cocke. To said
Henry, his house where he now dwells, and the house where Thomas dwells, and the
tavern and other buildings in Skinner's Row and Smith's Row. To son Jasper his tene
ment, &c, in Newton. To son Thomas his close, &c, in Westgate Street, which his
father, Walter, gave him by his Will. To daughter Margaret, wife of Mr. Roodes. To
daughter Anne, wife of Thomas Reade; daughters Katherine and Susan; brother Edmund
and his son Thomas; brother John ; father-in-law, Mr. Jervis, of Whepstead. Sons Thomas
and Robert executors.
He belonged to the Parish of St. James, and his children were baptized in that church,
which is here represented. In the same church the children and grandchildren of Jonas
and Rose Bond were baptized. [See p. 45.]
The Guide to the Town, Abbey, and Antiquities of Bury St. E. says, "St. James's
Church, constructed of freestone, is a fine Gothic building, the west end of which is re
markably handsome. The first church here was erected about the year 1200." The
present structure, though far advanced in the year 1500, was not finished till the Reforma
tion, when Edward VI. gave £200 towards its completion. Its length is 137 ft, and its
breadth 69 ft. The chancel is 56 by 28 ft

st. James's church, bury st. edmund's.
Netherhall. the seat of Robert Bright and his descendants [see Pedigree], is situated in
Thurston, Co'. Suff., England, about six miles from Bury St. Edmund's. It was visited by
Mr. Somerby in 1851, who describes it as a beautiful place, still kept up as a gentleman's
seat. The building stands about 700 or 800 yards from the road, and is approached
through two magnificent avenues of ancient oaks. There is a fine lawn in front of the
hall, tkirted by a park and preserves for game. Edmund Tyrrell, Esq., inherited the
estate from the Brights; in what manner was not ascertained. He sold it to George
Chinery, Esq., from whom it passed to W. Chinery Barrett, whose widow now enjoys it.
There are in'the hall four portraits of the Brights, pointed out to Mr. Somerby by Mrs.
Barrett ¦ two gentlemen (one in armour) and two ladies. There are also two full-length
portraits of gentlemen in the drawing-room, in the costume of the period of James II.,
which are master-pieces. One of them is an original portrait of William III. ; the
other unknown. Mrs. Barrett has a plan of the estate, drawn by Henry Bright,
cousin of Dea. Henry Bright, of Watertown. On this plan is an outline sketch of the
buildino- as it was then. It has been considerably altered in the exterior.
* "A draper, in those days, was a man of superior station in society, and generally very wealthy."

TALMACH HALL, IN LITTLE BKICET, SUFFOLK COUNTY.
Talmach Hall, in Little Brieet, Suffolk Co., was the seat of John Bright (son of Thomas, Jr.), and his de
scendants. [See Pedigree]. It is now a farm-house. The drawing from which the cut was taken, was
made in 1852.

BRimiT.

In Brieet Church is a monument, erected to the memory of John Bright, surmounted by
the Bright coat of arms, very elaborately executed, of which the preceding cut is a good
representation.

Arms of BRIGHT, of Bury St. Edmund's: Sable,, a fesse argent between 3 escallops or.
Crest. A dragon's head gule, vomiting flames of fire proper, collared, and lined. These
arms were confirmed, in 1615 (not then granted, as stated by Burke), to Thomas Bright.
Jr., showing that they had been in the family long before that period. Escallops denote
pilgrimages or service in the Holy Land. The fesse is emblematic of the military girdle.

In the churchyard of Bury St. E. is a tombstone of the Brights, on which is the Bright
coat of arms. The inscription is nearly obliterated, and the crest of the arms entirely so.

118 BROWNE.
BROWNE (Brown). INTRODUCTION.
There were three early settlers of Watertown, of the name of Browne, belonging, as we
have reason to believe, to the same family, and nearly related, viz.: Richard, Abraham,
and John* There is little doubt that John was nephew to Richard. It was for some
time believed, upon apparently very satisfactory evidence, that Abraham and Richard
were brothers ; but some facts have come to light, that would harmonize as well with the
supposition that Abraham was the nephew of Richard. (Note 7.) vMr. Somerbyf has
satisfactorily traced the lineage of this family, through several generations, to Christopher
Browne, of the parish of Hawkedon, Co. of Suffolk, England, and thence to the ancient
family of Browne, of the Borough of Stamford, in Lincolnshire, and of Tolethorpe, in the
county of Rutland; the latter, the principal seat of the head of the family for probably
four hundred years or more. In the preceding pedigree, Richard and Abraham appear aa
brothers, and this was probably their true relation. Diligent search in England has
failed lo bring to light any records that bring down the Hawkedon branch of tbe family to
a later period than is shown in the pedigree ; and in the absence of record or other strong
evidence to show that Abraham belonged to the succeeding generation, he will probably
remain undisturbed in his place in the table, as shown by the records relating to the
Hawkedon family, and which harmonizes with all known facts, except the loose recitals
referred to in note 7 : and these may with equal plausibility be construed either way.
NOTES TO THE PEDIGREE, pp. 116 and 117.
Note 1. All Saints Church is one of the principal ornaments of Stamford. It is a large,
well-proportioned structure, consisting of a nave, two aisles, and two chancels, one of
which is at the end of the south aisle, and the other answering to the nave. It was
built at the expense of Mr. John Browne, merchant of the staple of Calais, who, with his
wife, lies buried at the upper end of the north aisle. The steeple was built by his son
William. (See Note 2.) On a gilt brass plate in the wall is this inscription :
"Orate pro animabus, Joharmis Browne, mercatoris stapule Calisie, et Margerie uxoris ejus qui
quidem Johannis, obijt XXVI" die mensis Julii an d'n'i MCCCCXLIJ, etque quede' Margerie
obijt XXIJ die Novembris a° d'n'i MCCCCLX" quor' animabus p'pi'cieter Deus. Amen."
Note 2. This William Browne was <_ " merchant of the staple of Calais." Leland says
of him, that he was " a Marchant of a Very Wonderfull Richnesse, and he lyved in hm
atate, so that sum men be alyve that have seene him." Fuller says, " H-e was extracted,
as I am credibly informed, from the ancient family of Brownes, of this county" [Rutland
shire]. He was Alderman of Stamford, in 1435, '44, '49, '60, '66, and 70, and sheriff of Rut-,
landshire, in 1467, '75, '83, and '86, and probably of Lincolnshire, in 1478. He was the
founder of" Browne's Hospital," called the "Old Bead House," in Stamford, which was com
pleted in 1493, and dedicated in 1494, — for a warden, confrater, 12 poor men, and a nurse,
and which he liberally endowed with the manor of Swayfield, in Lincolnshire, and othei
estates. This institution is still flourishing, its revenues being greatly increased, and the
scope of its charities enlarged. He also built, at his own expense, the beautiful steeple
of the Church of All Saints, Stamford. [The church had been erected by his father.] On
the north side of the steeple, on a shield, is the device of a merchant of the staple. He
and his wife were buried in the south (St. Mary's) chapel in said Church (" a chapel
proper to his family"). Where formerly stood the altar, there is a blue marble stone
and figures of William Browne and his wife, engraved on brass. He is dressed in a long
gown, and stands upon two cushions or wool-packs; she in elegantly flowing robes, with
a dog at her feet. Above the canopies, over their heads, are four blank shields and scrolls.
On that over his head is inscribed, " x me spede ;" and over hers, "Der Lady help at
neede." At their feet, the following inscription :
* A little previous to the year 1700, another family of the name of Brown moved into Watertown, and had there
a temporary residence. [See p. 145.] It is not improbable that Edmund, Thomas, and William Browne, original
grantees of Sudbury, were of the same lineage as Richard and Abraham ; but no evidence of it has been dis
covered. t For the materials of the English pedigree of the Brownes we are indebted to the personal researches ot,H.
G. Somerby, Esq.; and for the digestion and arrangement of them, as well as for a careful examination of early
English authors, we are indebted to William P. Browne, Esq. [349], at whose instance, together with that of
Charles Browne, Esq [112] the researches have been prosecuted in England. Uj" It is evident from the Eng
lish records, and the early records in this country, that Browne is the correct orthography of the name of Ihis
ancient family ; hut Ihe descendants of Abraham Browne of Watertown, since the 2d or 3d generation, have,
with few exceptions, dropped the final e.

Note 3. This Christopher Browne was Sheriff of Rutlandshire, 8th and 16th Hen. VII.
(1492 and 1500), and 1 st Hen. VIII. ( 1 509). He came over with Hen. VII., and assisted him
against Richard III., for which good service King Hen. VIII., on the 6th day of July, in the
18th year of his reign, granted to his eldest son, Francis Browne, of counsel to Lady Margaret
Beaufort (mother of Hen. VII.), Countess of Richmond and Derby, a patent, exempting
him from holding the office of Sheriff or Escheater, and authorizing him to appear with
his head covered in the presence of the King, his heirs, and successors, and of all great
men, lords spiritual and temporal, and all other persons whomsoever of the kingdom.
[Fuller's Hist, of the worthies of England.] That part of the arms, which appear in the
1st quarter, viz., per bend Argent and Sable, 3 mascles bendways counterchanged, and
the crest, were, in 1480 (20th Edw. IV), granted to this Christopher Browne. [See Blore's
Rutland, p. 219, where the grant is set out at length.]
Note 4. Tolethorpe is situated on the right bank of the River Quash, in the Parish of
Little Casterton, in Co. Rutland, about two miles north of the Borough of Stamford. In
the 50th year of Edw. III. [A.D. 1376], Sir Thomas de Burton, Knt, by deed, dated on
the Saturday next after the feast of St. Martin, the Bishop, conveyed to John Browne, of
Stamford, Esq., all his lands, tenements, rents, and services in the Village of Little Casterton,
with the reversion of the patronage of the church there. In the 5th year of Hen. VII.
(1589), a fine was levied between Christopher Browne and others, plaintiffs, against
Thomas Burton and Margaret, his wife, deforcients of a moiety of the manor of Tole
thorpe and tenements, with the appurtenances. From the latter period (and possibly an
earlier one), Tolethorpe became the principal seat of the head of the family. On the
death of John Browne, Esq., Feb. 27, 1719, without surviving issue, Tolethorpe descended
to his nephew, Francis Browne, Esq. (son of his brother Edward, of Gretford, in Lincoln
shire, Esq.). on whose death without issue in 1751, the manor of Tolethorpe and other
estates, descended to his nephew, Thomas Trollope, Esq. (son of his sister Anne, by
Thomas Trollope, Esq.) ; who, thereupon assumed the surname of Browne. He died in
1770, and the estates of the family descended to his only surviving daughter and heir,
Mary, who afterwards married the Right Honorable George Fermor, Earl of Pomfret,
who, in her right, became lord of the manors of Tolethorpe and Little Casterton, ana-
patron of the church of Little Casterton, in 1807.
Wright's History of Rutland, fol. 1684, contains an engraving of the family seat, Tole
thorpe Hall, a very ancient and curious building. It has since been re-edified, and now
bears little resemblance to the engraving. The mansion and estate now belong to the
Hon. Charles Compton Cavendish, 2d son of Mary, Countess of Pomfret, the lineal de
scendant and representative of the first Christopher Browne. On the marriage of the
Countess, the place was dismantled and stripped of its furniture, and a few years ago all
the ancient Title Deeds relating to Tolethorpe, from the very earliest period, were offered
for sale in a second-hand bookseller's catalogue. The house is now let to Emerson Har
rison, Esq.
Note 5. The estate, or home estate, of this branch Of the family consisted of two tene
ments, called the Deans, and the Swans, contiguous, and lying in the two adjoining
Parishes of Somerton and Hawkedon. The property is thus described and bequeathed in
the Will of Christopher Browne (A. D., 1531) : " I gyve and bequethe to Anne my wyef,
all that my tenement w,b thappurten'nces lying in the pi'che of Hawkedon and Somerton,
callyd the Deene, and all that tenement with thappurten'nces called Swaynes. To have

of such issue then to his son Christopher [X Stofer] Browne and his heirs male, and for
lack of such issue then to his son Thomas and his heirs male; and for the lack of such
issue then to go " to my heirs and assigns forever." He makes bequests of money to his
said sons Robert, Christopher, and Thomas, and to his daughters Elizabeth, Margaret, and
Agnes, and to his godson [grandson?] Christopher Browne. The Will is witnessed by
Robert Browne, Alius et heres testoris ; Robert Checkley, clericus [minister of Hawkedon],
Thomas Hy'on, Johnes Cawston.

son Thomas, dr. Joan Baylye, his godsons
[grandsons] Ambrose and William Baylye,
sons of Thomas [Thomas Baylye's Will is
dated 1559, witnessed by Christopher and
Robert Browne] ; and to his son Robert Browne, he gives " the lease of my fearme in as
large and ampple manner as I hav it," and also all the rest of his estate, real and personal,
and appoints him executor. Witnesses are John Andrear [? Andrew], Thomas Hamonde,
Robert Brydges, James Hawton, and Robert Shaw, Clerk.
Neither the Deans nor Swans are mentioned in this Will. It is not improbable that his
elder brother, Robert, was still living, and in possession, but without heirs male, so that
his son Thomas was heir presumptive to the Deans and Swans, under the first Christo
pher's Will. His son Thomas being thus provided for, would account for his younger son
Robert being made principal legatee and executor.
The Will of said Thomas Browne, of Hawkedon, is dated Dec. 22, 1590 : proved Jan.
26, 1591. He had inherited the Deans and Swans and bequeathed them as follows: "To
Johan my wife, my house wherein I dwell, with all the outhouses thereto belonginge, called
and knowne by the name of the Deanes & Swaines, with all the lands, meadowe and pas
ture thereto belonginge, during her naturall life, upon this condicon following, viz., that
[she] shall bringe up my children and paye all my debts, and kepe my howses in good
and sufficient reparac'ons, and make no stripe or waste upon the grounde or of any Wood
or Timber growinge in and uppon the same, and after the decease of the saide Johan my
wife, I give all the saide howse and howses, lands, meadowe, and pasture with the
app'tences to my five sonnes, viz., to John, Richard, Thomas, Ambrose, and Abraham, and
their heirs, to be equally divided between and amongst them, or so many of them as shall
be then livinge, by and at the discression of iiij discrete and wise men to be chosen by
the p'sons [parsons] of Hawedon & Som'ton then beinge," and a bequest in money to his
daughter Sarah. Witnesses, Robert Raye, minister of Hawedon ; John Rayner, Richard
Gippes, "and me Peter Cooke, Clarke and writer hereof."

Mr. Somerby says, "Hawkedon is a scattered village on a pleasant acclivity, near a
rivulet, 9 miles S. §. W. of Bury St. Edmunds. The church is a fine specimen of ancient
architecture, with a tower and five bells. The Parish contains 339 souls, and 1210 acres

of land. It is in two manors, viz., Hawkedon Hall, the seat and property of J. Trask, Esq.,
and Thurston Hall, of which H. J. Oakes, Esq., is lord. Swan Hall, another mansion, now
a farm-house, with a large estate, belongs to G. W. Poley, Esq. This was formerly a seat
of the Browne family. It is probable that the estate was sold in order to be divided
among the five sons of Thomas Browne, and thus passed out of the possession of that
family. A small work on the County of Suffolk says, Swan Hall, another ancient man
sion, now a farm-house, ¦' was formerly a seat of the Abbot family.' This was after it
passed out of the possession of the Brownes.
" Swan Hall is about a mile from Hawkedon, and is now (1852) occupied by a farmer,
Simon Moore. It is probably one of the oldest residences in the County of Suffolk, being
several hundred years old. It is built of oak, and covered with plaster, excepting some
of the principal beams, which are elaborately carved. The principal part of the building
was taken down about forty years ago, and the beautiful panelling,' carving, &c, &c, of
the interior, distributed among individuals in the neighboring parishes. The part of the
building which remains, does not give one any idea of its former extent. I succeeded
nevertheless in producing a sketch which will afford an almost perfect idea of the build
ing as it was originally. I found an old lady at Hawkedon, who resided at the Hall at the
time when the principal portion of it was demolished, and she remembers particularly that
it was precisely like Thurston Hall, which is in the neighborhood, and retains all its
original features. From this Hall I finished my sketch. The old lady spoke of the elegant
stained glass window in the Grand Hall, a small portion of which, when the Hall was
demolished, was transferred to the chancel window of the church, and also of the elaborate
carved work, both within and without, not a vestige of which remains, except the beams
on the front end. She does not know what became of it, but believes a portion was taken
to Charity Hall, some miles distant."

ment by the various denominations of Congregationalists. There is reason to believe that
history has done much injustice to this person. It is certain that Lord Burleigh, and after
his death, his not much less distinguished son, the Earl of Exeter, were ever his firm
friends and patrons. With a full knowledge of the Reformer's unconquerable hostility to
the Episcopal English Church — for it never ceased, notwithstanding his incumbency in
one of its churches (in which he never officiated) — Lord Burleigh, who did more than
any other subject of England to establish that Church on its permanent basis, never failed
to spread over him the segis of his great power (second to the Queen's alone), to shield
him from the effects of the relentless hostility of the Hierarchy. Lord B. knew the Refor
mer well, and evidently held him in much respect. Circumstances conspired to make
not only the Episcopal party, but in the end, his own, the Puritans, hostile to him. In his
opinions, he was probably as wide on the one hand from the extravagances of Puritanism,
as developed in its aftergrowth, as on the other from a belief in the hierarchy of the English
Church. Lord Burleigh, in his letter to Browne's father, says, " Inasmuch as he is your
son, and of my blood;" and Fuller says that he (Browne) was a " near kinsman" of the
Earl of Exeter. These would intimate a nearer relationship than is shown by the above
pedigree. Note 7. The records of Boston and of the county of Suffolk (Mass.) show that there
was an Edmund Browne, a proprietor of Boston, as early as 1647, who mar., 14. 12, 1653,
Elizabeth Oakley (daughter of " Mary, the relict of the late Robert Bouchier, alias Garret"
[} Gannet] . She was probably a daughter by a former marriage, or a widow at the time
of her marriage to Browne). They had two chil. Mary, b. Dec. 15, 1656. and John, b.
Oct. 9, 1660. He died, after an absence of several years, at Sardainham [} Surinam],
Both of his chil. also died early, and Jonathan, the son of Abraham Browne, of Water-
town, inherited his land as next kin. In a deed, dated Jan. 1, 1672-3, from Jonathan to
one Richard Taylor, conveying the reversion of some of Edmund's real estate, he recites
that he is "cousin and next heir of said Edmund;" and afterwards, in the same instrument,
he calls Edmund his uncle. In a suit for possession of a piece of land belonging to the
estate, Edmund (1682) is incidentally several times called the uncle of Jonathan. The
records relating to Edmund bear evidence of great carelessness, and are in many respects
contradictory and difficult, if not impossible, to harmonize with any hypothesis that may
be assumed to reconcile them. It is believed, according with the first recital in said
deed, that Edmund was a nephew of Abraham, and brother to John, of Watertown, and'
a son of John, of Hawkedon. His birth does not appear in the table of pedigree; but the
early parish register (commencing in 1538) is lost. There is now none dating back
beyond 1709. It was the custom, as early as 1560, for clergymen to deposit certified
copies of these registers each year in the Will offices. Very few of these copies are now
in existence. It was amongst those remaining in the office at Bury St. Edmunds, rela
tive lo Hawkedon, that were found the baptisms of Mary and John, the chil. of John and
grand chil. of Thomas, of Hawkedon. The births and baptisms of no other grand chil.
of said Thomas have been discovered.
We have scarcely a doubt that Edmund was the son of John, of Hawkedon. This sup
position best harmonizes all known facts. The name of his son, John, for his supposed
paternal grandfather — the daughter being named Mary for her maternal grandmother — is
confirmatory of it. It is possible that Abraham, of Watertown, was also a son of John,
of Hawkedon, and that his place in the table should be a degree below that of Abraham
of the pedigree, with whom we have identified him, but the balance of probabilities
inclines the other way.
Note 8. This Christopher Browne was one of the persons selected by King Charles II.
to be invested with the Order of The Royal Oak. For prudential reasons — the fear of per
petuating party feuds — the project of establishing the order was abandoned.

RICHARD BROWNE, son of Thomas and Joan, of Swan Hall, Hawkedon, Co. Suffolk ;
b. about 1575 or 6; settled first in London, where he was a ruler in a church 'of Separa
tists, and there rendered important services to some of the persecuted Non-conformists.
He was one of the first settlers of Watertown, and the first Ruling Elder of the Church.
He was one of the first that applied (Oct., 1630) to be admitted freeman, and was ad
mitted May 18, 1631. Towards the end of 1632, he was removed from the office of
Ruling Elder, on account of his sentiments, which were too liberal for the ecclesiastical
notions then prevalent. There was, however, entire accordance between him and his
very worthy pastor, Rev. George Phillips; and such was Mr. Browne's influence, that
Hubbard says, he " was thought sometimes to overrule the Church."

BROWNE. fl23
Hubbard had imbibed the prejudices of Gov. Winthrop; yet he says Mr. Browne was a
man of good understanding, and well versed in the discipline of Separation [i. e., of Congre
gationalism], having been a Ruler in one of their churches in London. And what he
says of Mr. Phillips, throws a clear light upon the cause of Mr. Browne's removal from
office. " It is said that Mr. Phillips, of Watertown, was at the first more acquainted with
the way of church discipline, since owned by the Congregational churches ; but being
then without any [magistrate or minister] to stand by him (for wo to him that is alone),
he met with much opposition from some of the magistrates [Winthrop, Dudley, Noel,
&c], till the time that Mr. Cotton came into the country, who, by his preaching and
practice, did by degrees mould all their church administrations into the same form, which
Mr. Phillips [and Mr. Browne] labored to have introduced into the churches before."
What Winthrop and Hubbard characterize as a "violent spirit" and passion, in Mr.
Browne, was doubtless his bold and unyielding advocacy of his more liberal and just views;
his unflinching confronting of the magistrates in their " much opposition" to Mr. Phillips ;
and the early and earnest resistance he and Mr. Phillips presented to the insidious en
croachment of arbitrary power. The magistrates fomented a disturbance in Watertown
Church, and continued to agitate, until their bigoted, officious intermeddling had effected
the removal of the Elder from office. We cannot discover any difference in sentiment,
or any alienation, between Mr. Phillips and Mr. Browne. The latter, being much older,
was probably more bold, less conciliatory in his disposition and manner, and hence the
pertinacity of the magistrates. Mr. Browne's views, says the ecclesiastical historian of
Massachusetts, were "much to his honor in an age of bigotry, though censured by worthy
men, influenced by the spirit of the age."
Mr. Browne, nevertheless, retained the unabated confidence of his fellow-townsmen,
both as a Christian and a citizen. As an evidence of their regard for his discretion and
Christian character, they sent him, as one of their commissioners, to Wethersfield, in
order to heal the distractions in that (Watertown) colony. The most important civil trusts
were, for a long time, almost constantly placed in his hands. He was a member of
several of the earlier boards of Selectmen, and was a Representative of Watertown from
the first (1634), most of the time, until 1657. Notwithstanding the disparaging tone
of Winthrop — " one Richard Browne" — and of Hubbard, who took his tone from Win
throp, the Colonial Records furnish ample proof that Mr. Browne was not less respected
and confided in by the Court, than by his neighbors and townsmen. He was a member
of the first three Juries of Inquest empanelled in the colony, and of the second and third
of these juries, he was the foreman. Previous to Mar. 22, 1630-1, Sir Richard Saltonstall
appointed him a referee in a case, where he was a party.
Aug. 1, 1637, he was the agent, on the part of Watertown, for agreeing upon a rate oi
£400, to be levied upon the several [13] towns in the Bay. May 17, 1637, he was
chosen by the General Court to assist at the Courts of New Town. Sept. 6, 1638, the
Court granted him 200 A. of land, which was not located until Oct. 17, 1649, when the
Court granted it to be "laid out next the village granted to Dedham." In Sept. 1638,
when the General Court ordered that, in those towns where no magistrate resided, com
missioners should be appointed " to end small causes," Mr. Browne was one of those
appointed for Watertown, and he continued to be reappointed until the making of those
appointments was transferred to the County Courts. He continued to receive the same
appointment from Mid. Co. Court until 1656, about the time he moved to Charlestown.
May 22, 1639, he was fined £5, for going to Connecticut without leave, neither acquaint
ing the Court nor the Council, he being, at that time, a deputy. But the next Sept., £4 15s.
of the fine was remitted, and the freemen of Watertown were fined £3, " for sending Mr.
Browne away." He was probably, on this occasion, one of the two commissioners sent
to Wethersfield to reconcile church difficulties among those, who were then, or had been,
members of Watertown Church. Nov. 4, 1646, the Court empowered him to officiate at
marriages in Watertown. This was the first such appointment for Watertown. Previous
to this, it was necessary, on such occasions, to resort to magistrates in other towns. Nov.
5, 1633, he was allowed by the Court to keep a fetry over Charles River, against his
house ; to receive 2d. for one person, and Id. for each person if more than two.
Dec. 2, 1657, he purchased of Humphrey and Rebecca Booth, a house in Charlestown,
whither he moved about that time, then aged 81 or 82. His Will, dated Charlestown,
Aug. 6, 1659, proved Mar. 20, 1660-1, mentions wife ELIZABETH, sole exec'x; be

after her decease, to be equally divided between his son and grandsons." He also wills
that all those goods which were brought to him by his wife, " whose properties are not
altered," be left " to her discretion, to dispose of them as she pleaseth." And in a post
script, adds to his wife : " the sum of twenty pounds, as well as her owne goods, on the
other side expressed." It is supposed that his son Thomas was by a former marriage, not
by Elizabeth, mentioned in his Will. This supposition is favored by the terms of his own

JOHN BROWNE, bap. at Hawkedon, Oct. 11, 1601, son of John, elder brother of Richard
Browne, arrived in the Lion, Sept. 16, 1632; settled in Watertown; was adm. freeman
Sept. 3, 1634, and was buried June 20, 1636, set. 36. By wife DOROTHY, he had, I.
Hannah, b. Sept. 8, 1634. 2. Mary, b. Mar. 24, 1635-6. His widow was probably the
wid. Browne, mentioned in the Town Records, Dec. 4, 1648. If, however, Abraham
Browne died previous to this date, this might have been his widow.
ABRAHAM BROWNE, a younger brother, or a nephew of the Elder, Richard Browne.
[See note 7.] He was a very early settler, perhaps one of the first of Watertown,
and was admitted freeman, March 6th, 1631-2. He was a land surveyor, and, as is
manifest from the records, in the early municipal transactions of the town, he received
important appointments, and trusts more numerous than were conferred upon any other
person. No two men were more respected and confided in, than he and his relative,
Richard Browne. The records of the town do not embrace the transactions of the first
four years after the settlement. They commence in 1634, extend to Nov. 28, 1643, when
there occurs a hiatus of four years, and recommence Nov. 8, 1647. He was selectman
from 1636 to 1643, inclusive. In 1634, he was appointed, in conjunction with Robert
Seeley , to survey all the lots that are granted ; and they were also appointed conservators of
timber trees — none to be cut down without their assent. In 1635, he was one of the seven
freemen appointed to divide every man " his propriety" of meadow and upland, that is
ploughable, and the rest to lie common. In the same year, he was appointed, with John
Warren, to lay out all highways, and to see that they are repaired. Also, to survey the
lots granted by the selectmen. In 1638, ordered that all lots, both of freemen and
foreigners, shall be measured and bounded by Abraham Browne, who shall give a note of
each survey to be enrolled in the town books. In the same year, he and Thomas Bartlett
were appointed to measure and lay out the remote meadows, according to their best
judgments. He was also appointed, with four others, to lay out the farms as they are ordered,
and they were authorized to include any rock or swamp in any survey, not counting it in the
number of acres. In 1639, the highway from Dorchester Field to the Flats, as Abraham
Browne laid it out, was confirmed forever. Also, the highway leading from Robert Jennison's
to the river, betwixt the lands of John Barnard and Jeremiah Norcross, together with about
half an acre of land on the river, for the landing of goods, was ordered to remain forever,
as laid out by Abraham Browne, Ap. 30, 1639. Also, that when Ab. Brown shall lay
out any whole squadron of the great lots, they to whom the land belongs shall make him
present pay. In 1640, Abraham Browne, " Surveyor of the Town," was directed to
survey the subdivisions of the Hitrrer and Further Plains ; and the next year (1641), he
was directed to do the same. Also, it was ordered that he have id. the acre for surveying
the two plains and the remote meadows. Also, he was empowered, 1643, to warn tres
passers on public timber, and to have one-fourth of the fines. Oct. 7, 1641, the General
Court appointed him one of the committee for laying out the 1000 acres of land granted
to the Artillery Company at its first organization.
The Court Records of Middlesex County, show that Oct. I, 1650, his Will and Inven
tory were "accepted at court." And an order of court, made Oct. 6, 1691, respecting the
final settlement of his estate, recites of him as " deceased in the year 1650." These

BROWNK. fl25
dates indicate, it is thought, satisfactorily, the year of his decease ; though there are some
circumstances that favor the belief that he died between the close of 1643 and 1648. The
latest mention of his name in the Town Records, is Nov. 28, 1643, which is the latest
date previous to the before-mentioned hiatus of four years. It is, therefore, unknown
when his public services terminated. As his name does not occur in the Records between
Nov. 8, 1647, when they recommence, and 1650, the supposed date of his decease, it is
probable that ill health or bodily infirmity had compelled him to withdraw from his very
large participation in public business.
No original Will of Abraham Browne has been discovered, but in the files of the County
Court for 1670, is found the following, which, by the concluding certificate, purports to be
a copy of it. " The last Will and Testament of Abraham Browne, of Watertowne, dec'd;
being of good and perfect memory but Weake, as is witnessed by us whose names are
here under written. Impr. : after the decease of his wife, he gave and bequeathed unto
his two sonnes, Jonathan and Abraham Browne, his house and lands ; but giving liberty
to his wife, that if shee had need shee might sell some parcells of it. Also, he gave and
bequeathed unto his two daughters, Sarah Browne and Mary Browne, each of them one
ewe sheep, having each of them one before, as was testified. The rest of his goods and
estate he gave unto Lydea, his wife, making her his sole executrix to perform this, his
Will and Testament. Witnesses, Richard Browne, John Whitney. Entered out of the
original on file with the Register, at Cambridge, in the County of Midd., in New England,
and is a true coppie, being compared and examined by Thomas Danforth, Recorder."
This instrument resembles a synopsis, more than a literal copy of an original Will. It
is not improbable that It was a nuncupative Will, and the above a copy of the declara
tion by the witnesses of its provisions.
There was much delay and probably some difficulty in settling his estate, and the set
tlement seems to have been made finally, in entire disregard of the provisions of the Will.
On the 6th Oct., 1691, the Court ordered the parties concerned in the estate of Abraham
Browne, of Watertown, deceased in the year 1650, be sent for, to attend the adjournment
of the Court, in order to a settlement of said estate ; and they appointed a committee,
consisting of John Ward, Jonathan Remington, and Thomas Greenwood, to make pro
posals for said settlement. The claimants were, 1. The heirs of Jonathan Browne,
deceased, the eldest son. 2. George Woodward, in right of his wife, only dr. of Abraham
Browne, Jr., deceased. 3. John Parkhurst, son of one of the daughters of said Abraham
Browne, Senr. 4. The heirs of (?) Isaac Lewis, deceased, who were children of another
dr. of said Abraham Browne. 5. William Lakin, in right of his wife, youngest daughter
of said Abraham Browne.
Owing, as they said, to a change in the government of the Colony, by the coming-over
of a new Charter, the committee did not report until Jan. 22, 1693-4. They assigned $
(a double portion) of the estate to the heirs of Jonathan, and the other £ to the other four
claimants. At the same time they recommended that these four claimants should sell
their shares to Abraham Browne, eldest son of Jonathan, deceased, who was then ready
to purchase ; and in that manner the estate was settled.
It appears from the schedules of possessions, that, besides a pond of one acre, 1 1 lots of
land were granted to Abraham Browne, the town surveyor, and that previous to 1642, he
had purchased 4 other lots, amounting to 39 A., one of which, a 30 A. lot in the Great
Dividends, had been granted to his kinsman, John Browne. Two of the lots granted to
him were homestalls. The first, upon which he probably settled at first, contained 10 A.,
and was at the east of Mount Auburn. His second homestall of 28 A., to which he is
supposed to have removed very early, was bounded on the E. by the way to the Little
Plain (now Howard Street) ;, N. by Sudbury Road (now Main Street) ; S. by the way to
Beaver Plains, sometimes called the way betwixt lots (now Pleasant Street) ; W. by his
own land. Two other lots granted to him, one of 10 A. and the other of 6 A., were con
tiguous to this homestall on the West, and in the schedule of 1642, they were deemed
parts of the homestall,* which was then enrolled as 40 A. He must have purchased other
adjoining lands not long afterwards, as in the final settlement of his estate in 1694, his
homestall contained 60 acres. The Committee, appointed by the Court to settle the estate,
made an Inventory, in 1694 (of lands only), amounting to £187; viz. : .homestall 60 A. £100;
* The next lot, adjoining this homestall on the west, was 10 A. granted to Edward How, whose heirs sold it to
Robert Harrington. From him it passed to his son Edward, and probably afterwards to his grandson Edward.
The next lot, west of How's, was 40 A. granted to Eev. George Phillips, bounded N. by'Sudbury Road; S. by the
way betwixt lots [Pleasant Street] ; W. by the driftway (now Gore Street). This driftway was the boundary
between the "small lots" and the Beaver Brook plowland. About 1650, the heirs of Mr. Phillips sold this lot to
Edward Garfield, by whose family it was held many years. In later limes, it has been the well known and
elegant residence of Governor Gore, and it is now in the possession of J. S. Copley Greene, Esq.

remote meadow, 10 A., £12; salt marsh, 4 A., £20; farm land, 107 A., £15; lot on
Charles River, 10 A., £10.
This is probably the only instance (unless the grant to Deacon Simon Stone be an ex
ception), where an original grant has remained in the possession of the direct descendants
of a grantee to the present time. As above stated, this property passed by inheritance
and purchase, to his grandson, Capt. Abraham Browne. Although it is stated, in the report
of the committee for settling the estate, that Abraham " was ready to purchase" the shares
of the other claimants, subsequent transactions render it probable that he acted in behalf
of the widow and other heirs of his father, and that he never became the proprietor of the
whole homestall of 60 acres. From Capt. Abraham B., a part of the land belonging to
him passed by Will to his son Samuel, who occupied a part of his house. After his death
his son Samuel, about 1739, moved to Leicester, and not long after this, the property was
mortgaged to Capt. John Homans, who probably occupied it only a few years, when the
mortgage was cancelled by Jonathan, eldest son of Capt. Abraham. From Jonathan it
passed to his son Jonathan, Jr., Esq. -From him it passed to his son Major Adam Brown.
and it is now, at least a part of it, in the occupancy of his heirs.
The dwelling-house, now standing, on this ancient homestall, is probably, with the ex
ception of the ancient '' Nathaniel Bright house," considerably older than any other in the
town. The " new part," next the road, was built and occupied by Capt. Abraham B., when
he relinquished the old or south part to the use of his son Samuel. The accompanying
cut is a view of this house, as at present seen from the northeast.

large share of the municipal offices and business of Stockbridge, while it was a
precinct and after it was incorporated as a town. He was a member of the Pro
vincial Congress in 1775. His Will, dated 1782, making son Samuel sole Ex'r,

abandoned it in the autumn, and did not return again until 1784, when they re
turned to the farms which they had begun, accompanied by other settlers,
among whom were his sons Samuel and Joshua, the latter of whom was the

(IV.) Capt. JOHN BROWN, of Waltham, m.. July 20, 1732, ABIGAIL BRIGHT.
[78.] She d. in childbed, May 4, 1733, leaving one child. He m. (2d), July 23,
1734, HANNAH, wid. of John Flagg [106], (accidentally killed Mar. 14, 1733-4),
a twin dr. of John and Mary (Harrington) Bemis [Bemis, 28]. He received from
the town numerous offices and appointments of trust; was Selectman in 1744, '45,
'46, '47, '48, and '52, and was Rep. in 1748. He was an innholder in 1737 and 8.
Tradition has accorded to him the reputation of being a man of more than common
energy and enterprise. In 1759 his assessment was the largest, except one, in
Waltham. The land conveyances on record to which he was a party are very
numerous. In 1760, we find him incompany with Wm. Stoddard, Peter Chardon,
Samuel Adams (the patriot of the Revolution, not his father, we think, as Mr.
Felt supposes), Robert Auchmuty, John Ruddock, Samuel Reed, Jona. Payson,
John Lee, and Wm. Rea. " the directors and some of the partners in the Land
Bank Company, in their own behalf, and at the request of a great number of the
partners," petitioning the General Court for a lottery, to relieve themselves from
the disastrous results of that celebrated association, which was established 20
years before in Waltham, under the delusive expectation of furnishing the people
a " better currency" than gold and silver, which had become very scarce. [Felt's
History Mass. Currency.] In 1761 he moved to Weston, and the prestige of his
enterprising character prevented the Selectmen of that town from serving him with
the customary notice; and the current remark of the period, "It is impossible for
Capt. John Brown ever to become poor," is still handed down, as is also its want of
verification. In 1770-8 he resided in Newton, and returned to Weston probably
about 1779, where he died in 1784, being in his 80th year, and in very reduced
circumstances ; the few hundred pounds realized in Continental money from the
sale of his last real estate, turned to dust and ashes in his hands.
He was scrupulously neat in his personal habits, and carried finish and com
pleteness in his dwelling, outhouses, and fences to the verge of extravagance, as
was thought by his more plodding cotemporaries. In stature he was tall, and gen
tlemanly in his bearing and manners. His principal residence, while in Waltham,
was the place more recently known as General Coolidge's, to whose father, William
Coolidge, who married Capt. John Brown's niece, the latter sold it.

wit secures for him a long posthumous fame. His preaching in early life was
orthodox or Calvinistic, and he was an active minister. But he became Armi-
nian, afterwards Arian ; contracted a very strong dislike to his early sentiments,
and became neglectful of the duties of his profession. In cold weather he

(V.) JOHN BROWN, was an ardent whig, and an uncompromising persecutor of
the tories, even before the Revolution broke out ; was one of the Boston " Tea
Party," and was engaged, it is said, in the battle of Bunker Hill. His stature was
6 ft. 2 in., and his proportions admirable for masculine beauty and power, in which
he was almost unequalled. But his violent and ill-regulated temper, and his way
ward habits, greatly impaired his usefulness in after life. In 1777, he purchased
of Oakes Angier, 12 acres of land in Newton, near Angier's Corner, which he sold
in 1786, to Wm. Brown, of Boston. He afterwards settled in Maine, where he

(V.) PHINEAS BROWN, Esq., went to Stockbridge as early as 1770 (and that
was his residence chiefly until 1784). He was land surveyor, and for several
years previous to the Revolution was engaged much of the time in surveying, in
Castleton, Leicester, Salisbury, Middlebury, Cornwall, New Haven, Panton, and
other towns, in what is now the western part of Vermont, but at that time was
called the " New Hampshire Grants." He selected a beautiful and fertile tract of
land on the east bank of Otter Creek, in the township of New Haven, and com
menced preparations for a settlement; but being interrupted by the vicissitudes
of the war, as well as by the active hostility of the New York claimants (to
whom, being a surveyor, he was especially obnoxious), in the memorable con
troversy between that State and the settlers under New Hampshire Grants, he
returned to Stockbridge (July 6, 1776), and was soon after called into service in
the Revolutionary Army. He served several months at intervals during the war,
and was in the battle of Saratoga. He kept a store for some time, being, per
haps, the first trader in Stockbridge. Soon after the close of the war, he moved
his family to Vermont, arriving at New Haven, March 10, 1784. About 1790, the
western part of New Haven was annexed to the city of Vergennes ; and in 1796,
this part was separated from Vergennes and incorporated into a new town by the
name of Waltham — so named from Mr. Brown's native town in Mass. Mr.
Brown was an active, influential man in the affairs of each of the three towns-
mentioned. He repeatedly represented New Haven in the State Legislature, and
was a member of the Convention for revising the State Constitution, in 1786;
was an Alderman of the city of Vergennes ; was a civil magistrate more than
twenty years, and continued to hold leading offices in Waltham, until physical
infirmities compelled him to decline them. In his religious tenets, he was a Con-
gregationalist, having been thirty-six years a member of that church. His tem
perament was ardent; but firmness, with him the offspring of clear perceptions
and strong convictions, was a prominent feature of his character. He was a
skilfal surveyor, a successful farmer, a good neighbour, and an intelligent magis
trate and legislator. He is still remembered as remarkable for his practical good
sense, and sound, discriminatingjudgment. /--. v S

professional life was for a time relinquished. He subsequently resumed his studies, read law with Enoch D.
Woodbridge and Philip C. Tucker, Esqs., of Vergennes, Vt., and was admitted to the bar in Addison ConntjT.
He pursued his profession in Vergennes until the close of 1831. He then went to the South, and resided in
Louisiana until the autumn of 1835, when he went to Mobile, where, until recently, he has since resided; the
attractions of more active business and enterprises withdrawing him from professional pursuits. He now (1855)
resides near Montevallo, County of Shelby, Alabama, engaged in opening and rendering accessible his coal
lands in that county.

3. Jacob, b. in C, July 19, 1789. He enlisted in the army as a private soldier
at the beginning of the war of 1812, and for his good conduct, as Orderly
Sergeant, at the battle of Chrystler's Field, was promoted to the rank of
Ensign. Ho served during the whole of the war, and " was in nearly all
the hardfought battles on the Niagara frontier in 1813 and 14." Before the
close of the war he was promoted to the rank of first Lieutenant, and after
wards gradually rose to the rank of Major of Infantry, which rank he held
many years.
With the 7th Reg. of Infantry, Major Brown was placed, by Gen. Taylor,
in command of the entrenched Camp or Fort on the Rio Grande, opposite
to Matamoras, and which sustained a cannonade and bombardment of 160
hours by the Mexicans. At 10 o'clock, a.m., of May 6, 1846, during this
bombardment, Major Brown was struck b"y a shell, which shattered his leg.
This was amputated above the knee, and he died on the 9th. Gen. Taylor,
in his official despatch, dated May 9, 1846, says : " It affords me peculiar
pleasure to report that the field work opposite Matamoras has sustained
itself handsomely during a cannonade and bombardment of 160 hours.
But the pleasure is alloyed with profound regret at the loss of its heroic
and indomitable commander, Major Brown, who died to-day from the effect
of a shell. His loss would be a severe one to the service at any time ; but
to the army under my orders, it is indeed irreparable."
A writer in the Boston Journal says, " Major Brown was a noble speci
men of a man. He was modest ana unassuming in his deportment, and
possessed a heart overflowing with the milk of human kindness. As an
officer, he was distinguished for his courage, military skill, coolness, and
decision in the hour of battle.

BROWN.

"Since the peace of 1815, Maj. Brown has been employed on. the_ staff
a great portion of the time. His sound judgment, his integrity and business
capacity rendered him a valuable officer in time of peace as well as in
war. He served two or three yeaTs in the memorable Florida campaigns.
He passed some years at Little Rock, Arkansas, engaged in matters con
nected with our Indian affairs. While there he was chosen President of
the Bank of Arkansas, an office which he thought proper to decline as in
compatible with his situation as an officer of the army." His body was
buried at the foot of the flag-staff of the Fort, named Fort Brown, in honour
of its heroic defence ; and the city founded on its site has been named
Brownsville. His body has since been removed and reinterred under the
flag-staff of the U. S. Barracks in Brownsville. He m. Sarah Smith, of the

BULLARD.
There was a considerable number of early settlers in Massachusetts of the name
of Bullard, and it must now be very difficult, if not impossible, to arrive at clear
ness and certainty in collecting and arranging genealogies of each of them.
There is a tradition among them, that eight brothers of this name came early
and about the same time to America, viz. Robert, Benjamin, Jonathan, William,
John, Isaac, Nathaniel, and George. This name has sometimes been confounded
with Ballard, and the traditions are not reliable. [See Farmer and Barry.] There
were three early settlers of Watertown of the name of Bullard, viz. Robert, Ben
jamin, and George.
ROBERT BULLARD, husband of ANNE, buried 24, 4, 1639, aged 40 [Watertown
records] . No notice of any children has been discovered.
BENJAMIN BULLARD, who in. a dr. and probably the only child of Henry
Thorpe, of Wat. ; was a proprietor of Wat, 1642. There is no notice of any chil.
of his in the Wat records. Oct. 3, 1673, he, then of Sherburne, with wife MAR
THA, sold, to Justinian Holden, a dwelling-house, with land, and several other
parcels of land in Wat, amounting to more than 100 acres. This sale was the
next year after the death of Henry Thorpe, who had occupied the house. [See
Reg. of Deeds, vol. v., p. 30.] Had this B. B. a first wife, named Sarah'?
3 (I.) GEORGE BULLARD, b. 1608; adm. freeman, 1641; settled in Wat, where

148 BULLARD.
he d. Jan. 14. 1688-9. He had two wives. (1st), BEATRICE, the mother of his
chil. Hem.'(2d), Ap. 20, 1655, wid. MARY MARPLEHEAD. He settled in
Wat. Farms (Weston), probably about 1660, as about that time he sold lands
in Wat, and the name rarely or never occurs in the Wat. records after the
incorporation of Weston. The births of only three of his children are recorded,
but it is supposed he had others.

tertown. There was a locality in Watertown, long known as " Chester's Mea
dow," and " Chester Brook." [See Hinman, p. 123 and 4.] (?) Wm. Chester sold
13 acres planting ground, in Wat, to Wm. Paine, prior to 1642.

CHILD.
Deacon EPHRAIM CHILD came to America in 1630 ; was adm. freeman May 18)
1631, and was probably one of the first Deacons of the church at Watertown. He
was Rep. 12 years, between 1646 and 1662, inclusive; Selectman 15 years, be
tween 1636 and 1662, inclusive; and Town Clerk 1651, '60, '61, and '62. He re
peatedly received important appointments from the General Court. [See Butler.
p. 17, and Worcester Magazine, II. 131, 142, and 149.] He was often appointed,
by the County Court, one of the Commissioners of Wat., "to end small causes."
He d. Feb. 13, 1662-3, aged 70, s. p. His Will, dated Nov. 10, 1662, mentions
Richard and John Child [who were brothers], and Ephraim, son of Benjamin
Child, of Rox. It is probable that Richard, John, of Wat, and Benjamin, of Rox.,
were his nephews. [Ephraim Child, a son of Benjamin, to whom he bequeathed
30 acres of dividend land, and 10 acres in Dorchester Field, was slain by Indians
at Northfield, Sept. 4; 1675, and his brother Benjamin, Jr., of Rox., sold the 30 A.
dividend land to Benjamin Peirce, of Wat, Mar. 2, 1682-3.] He bequeathed "to
my loving cousin, William Bond," 40 acres in the hither plain, whom, in con
junction with his wife, ELIZABETH, he appointed executor. His wid. Elizabeth,
in her Will, dated June 11, proved Oct. 1, 1667, appointed her "loving cousin,
William Bond," her sole executor. Ephraim Child, m., in Nayland, Suffolk Co.,
Eng., Feb. 8, 1625, wid. ELIZABETH PALMER. It is supposed that she was a dr.
of Jonas and Rose Bond of Bury St. Edmund's, where she was bap. Mar. 12, 1599,
and an aunt of William Bond, " her loving cousin." [See Bond, p. 47.] Dea. E.
Child executed a deed, Mar. 15, 1647, in favour of Elizabeth Foot, of London, of
whom William Goddard, of Wat, was Att'y in 1665. The appraisal of his homestall
and the amount of his Inventory (£770. 15.) show that he was one of the most
affluent of the first settlers. And the distribution of his widow's wardrobe and
furniture, by her Will, shows that she had some of the elegancies, as well as the
comforts of life.

CLARK (Clarke).
Among the early settlers of Watertown, there were three of the name of Clarke —
John, William, and Hugh.
JOHN CLARKE, supposed to be the " Mr. Clarke," appointed Constable by the
Court, 1632, adm. freeman 1635, and proprietor of Watertown 1642. He is sup
posed to be the John Clarke, physician, who went to Rhode Island, and was one
of the proprietors of Canonicut and of Providence; and that he was the companion
of Nathaniel Briscoe, in England, in 1652. [See Briscoe's letter, Mass. Hist. Coll.,
3d series. Vol. I.; I. Fiske, 1; and Winthrop, I., 74.]
WILLIAM CLARKE, a weaver, aged 27, and his wife, MARGARET, aged 21,
came over in the spring of 1635, in the " Plaine Joan," and settled in Watertown.
Ap. 1, 1651, he sold to Timothy Hawkins 35 acres of upland, which he had bought
of Thomas Arnold. In 1650 he bought 60 acres of land of Thomas Boyden, and
within a few years afterwards moved to Woburn. [See Hist, and Gen. Reg., Vol.

COOLIDGE. 165
COOLIDGE (Coollidge, Cooledge, &c)
(I.) JOHN COOLIDGE, adm. freeman May 25, 1636, one of the earliest proprie
tors, 1636-7; was a Selectman of Wat many times between 1636 and 1677, in
clusive; was Rep. 1658, and he was often employed in witnessing Wills, taking
Inventories, anc^settling estates. The date of his arrival has not been ascertained,
but it is probable that he was one of the first settlers, 1630. His Will, dated Nov.
19, 1681, proved June 16, 1691, mentions wife MARY, sons John, Stephen, Simon,
Nathaniel, and Jonathan, and gr. drs. Sarah and Mary Mixer. Inventory £237. 7.
Grace, wid. of Roger Porter, in her Will mentions him as her brother. Perhaps
she has used this term only to denote Christian affection.*
Mr. Somerby says, " The Coolidge family seem to have been settled in Cam
bridge, Eng., from a very remote period. The name has been written in every
possible way, as Coalyng, Coalidg, Colynge, Cooladge, &c, &c The name first
appears in the Subsidy Rolls for 1327, where Walter and Ralph Coalyng were
assessed for lands in Wimpole, in Cambridgeshire. In the time of Henry VIII.,
the family were seated in Arrington, and, judging from the Wills, were at that
time of wealth and great respectability, belonging to the gentry." [See Pedi
gree, p. 186.]

FIRMAN. — FISKE. — DAVID FISKE.

FIRMAN.— JOHN FIRMAN came over in 1630, and settled in Wat, where
his wigwam was burnt, Nov. 10, 1630. He was adm. freeman, May 18, 1631.
He returned to England, and embarked at Ipswich for N. Eng., Ap., 1634, then
aged 46. He was a Deacon, and was Selectman 1638. His heirs sold his lands
in Wat. to Barnabas Farr, of Boston, who, with wife Grace, sold them to Richard
Beers, Feb. 25, 1652-3.

FISKE (Fisk, Ffisk).
There was a considerable number of early immigrants of the name of FISKE,
who settled in Massachusetts ; and there is good reason to suppose that they
were all descendants of Robert and Sibil (Gold) Fiske, who lived at Broad Gates,
Loxfield, near Framlingham, Co. Suffolk, England. Rev. John Fiske, of Wenham,
afterwards of Chelmsford, and his brother William, of Wenham, were grandsons
of William, the eldest son of Robert and Sibil. David, of Wat , was a grandson
of Jeffrey, the 2d son of Robert and Sibil. There is a tradition in the family,
that a brother of David (? Nathaniel), left England with him, and died on the
passage ; and that he was the father of Nathan and John, of Wat. [Both of these
had sons named Nathaniel. It is also to be observed, that Nathan named his
eldest son Nathan, for himself; his second son, John, for his supposed brother, of
Wat. ; his third, David, for his supposed uncle, of Wat, and the fourth, Nathaniel,
for his supposed father.] James, of Haverhill, and Phinehas, of Salem, were
grandsons of Thomas, 3d son of R. & S. [See Mass. Hist Coll., 3d Ser., Vol. X.,
p. 156; also, Geneal. Reg., Vol. IV., p. 180.] Many of their descendants have
changed the original, correct orthography (Fiske), for Fisk. As it would be diffi
cult to ascertain the usage in all cases, I shall follow the former. It is the one
that has usually been adopted by the best educated and most intelligent.
It is to be hoped, that some one or more of the descendants of Robert and
Sibil, may soon be found, possessing so much family respect and attachment,
and such a liberal spirit, as will lead to a thorough search of the English records
for information concerning the origin and early history of this ancient, respectable,
and, in this country, very numerous family.*
*.l have learned, since this was written, that a gentleman of Boston has become earnestly engaged
in the genealogy of the FISKES ; and that he finds others ready to co-operate.

other lots, amounting to 227 acres. His Will, dated Sept. 10, 1660, proved Jan.

GARFIELD (Gearfield, Gerfil, &c)
In the early records this name is generally written Gearfield, sometimes Gardfield,
and Gerfeld. It rarely occurs in the Watertown records subsequent to the incor
poration of Waltham. SAMUEL GARFIELD was a proprietor 1642, and had a
son Samuel, who was apprenticed to John Flemming, Nov. 1, 1653. He was pro
bably a son of the first Edward Garfield, but there is no further record of him.

EDWARD GARFIELD died in Wat, June 14, 1672, aged 97. He was probably
the father of Samuel, above mentioned, and of Edward, next following.

HAMMOND.
The families of the name of Hammond, in New England, are most, if not all
of them, descended from two brothers, viz. : William, of Watertown, and Tho
mas, first of Hingham, and afterwards of Newton. The following pedigree of the
family in England, I have received from Mr. S. Hammond Russell, through the
obliging attention of Dr. T. W. Harris, of Cambridge.
THOMAS HAMMOND, of Cavenham, Co. Suffolk; ra., May 14, 1573, ROSE
TRIPPE. He was buried Nov. 24, 1589. Chil.,

1. Elizabeth, bap. Ap. 1, 1574.
2. William, bap. Oct. 30, 1575; "settled in New England" [Watertown]; m.,
June 9, 1605, Elizabeth Payne. (? Penn.) Chil.,
1. William, bap. Sept. 20, 1607. 2. Anne, bap. Nov. 19, 1609.
3. John, bap. Dec. 5, 1611. 4. Anne, bap. July 14, 1616.
5. Thomas, bap. Sept. 17, 1618, of Wat. [2.]
6. Elizabeth, b. about 1619 (aged 15 in Ap. 1634)'; m.  House.
7. Sarah, b. about 1624 (aged 10 in Ap., 1634).
8. John, b. about 1627 (aged 7 in Ap., 1634), of Wat. [8.]
9. Benjamin. See Farmer. Probably he was not the youngest child, and he
is not mentioned in his father's Will.
3. Rose, bap. Ap. 22, 1578. 4. Martha, bap. Nov. 6, 1579.
5. Marie, bap. July 7, 1587. 6. Susan.
7. Thomas, bap. Jan. 9, 1686, of t(ingham, afterwards of Newton. [See 51. p. 272.]

(I.) WILLIAM HAMMOND, eldest son of Thomas and Rose [f3], probably
came to America previous to the year 1634, as he does not appear to have ac-

270

HAMMOND.

companied his wife and children that year. Probably he did not settle immedi
ately in Watertown, as he was not a proprietor in Feb., 1636-7, but he was so in
1642. His wife, ELIZABETH, aged 47, and dr. Elizabeth, aged 15 years, dr.
Sarah, aged 10 years, and son John, aged 7 years, embarked at Ipswich, Eng.,
in the ship Francis, Ap. 1634.. [See the foregoing pedigree for his marriage, and
the names and ages of his children.] He was adm. freeman May 25, 1636, and
was selectman 1648. He d. in Wat, Oct. 8, 1662, aged 90, and his wid. Elizabeth,
d. Sept. 14, 1670, "aged about 90." [It will be observed that this age does not
correspond with that given at her embarkation. Probably the latter is the correct
one.] His Will, dated July 1, proved Dec. 16, 1662, mentions wife Elizabeth; son
John; grandson Thomas, son of his son Thomas; drs. Elizabeth House, 
Barnes, and Sarah Smith. In a suit, in 1652, Thomas Hammond vs. John Bridge,
it appears that H. had an uncle, Page.

(II.) THOMAS HAMMOND, son of William [f6], m., about 1654, HANNAH
CROSS. [See Cross.] He d.' Dec. 10, 1655. His Will, dated Nov. 6. 1655, men
tions his wife Hannah, dr. of Hannah Cross; and he provided for an expected post
humous child. His wid. d. Mar. 24, 1656-7. By her Will, dated Mar. 19, 1656-7,
she gave to her mother half the rent of the Cross farm (in Ipswich). To John Sher
man, and to each of his chil. £5 ; to John Livermore £4. 12 ; the remainder to her
mother and John Sherman, in trust for her son, who was committed to their care.
Inventory of Thomas Hammond (by Edward Garfield, John Coolidge, Joseph
Tainter, and Anthony White), dated Dec. 22, 1655. House, barn, and upland
bought of John Stowers, £120. Cross farm in Ipswich, with 7 cows and 2 oxen,
£200. Housing and land in England, at Lavingham, renting £14 per year, £120.
Elizabeth Barrett, debt to be paid in two years, £25 ; also personal estate.
1. Thomas, b. July 11, 1656.

(II.) Lieut. JOHN HAMMOND (son of William and Elizabeth), had two wives.
1st, SARAH, b. 1643, d. Jan. 14, 1688, aged 45, the mother of his chil., and he
left a wid. PRUDENCE, who d. Sept. 1711, aged 74. His Will was dated Nov. 18,
Inventory dated Nov. 29, and Will proved Dec. 9, 1709. He d. Nov. 22, 1709,
aged 85 years, 4 m., so the grave-stone; probably should be 82. Inventory £961.
8. In 1690 his assessment was the largest in the town, and next his was that
of William Bond, Esq. May 16, 1665, he was appointed guardian of his kins
woman, Mehitabel Hawkins.

HARRIDON.— [See Page, 13.]

HARRINGTON (Herringtou, Errington, Arrington).
ROBERT HARRINGTON. His name is the last on the list of proprietors, made
out 1642-44. He then owned a homestall, "given him by Thomas Hastings."
This gift renders it probable that he was a kinsman of Dea. Hastings. He was
adm. freeman, May 27, 1663, and he m., Oct. 1, 1649 (? 48), SUSANNA GEORGE,
b. 1632, who d. July 6, 1694, and he d. May 17, 1707. In his Will, dated
Jan. 1, 1704-5 (the day before the 3d m. of his dr. Susanna), he mentions his
sons John, Daniel, Benjamin, Samuel, Thomas, Edward (his " youngest son," to
whom he gave his homestead), and drs. Susanna Beers, Mary Bemis, Sarah
Winship; Joseph, son of "my son Joseph, deceased," and dr.-in-law Joanna

HARRINGTON.

273

Ward, late wife of his son Joseph. His Inventory mentions 16 lots of land,
amounting to 642J acres, and appraised at £717. Dec. 24, 1684, he bought of
Jeremiah Dummer, a goldsmith, of Boston, and Anna, his wife, for £90, the
West or S. W. half (250 acres) of the Oldham Farm, where some of his descend
ants have continued to reside until the present time. It was bounded W. by
Joseph Garfield; N. by Richard Cutting, wid. Sarah Fiske, and said Garfield; E.
by Abraham Gale and John Gale; S. by Charles River. Sept. 28, 1685, he gave
to his son Joseph, 55 acres of land, which he bought of Simon Cooledge, Jan.
29, 1679-80, which he (S. C.) had bought of Simon Stone, and which he (S. S.)
had bought of the wid. and heirs of Rev. Henry Green, to whom it had been
granted by the town. It is very probable that all the families of the name of
Harrington in New England, are descended from Robert, of Watertown. They
are very numerous and widely dispersed. There was a Richard Harrington, or
Arrington, of Charlestown, in 1643; but I have not discovered that he left any
descendants, bearing his name, or that he was related to Robert.

JOHN HASTINGS.
The following brief record of the family of John Hastings, of Camb., is here in
serted, as it contains a few intermarriages with Watertowu families. It is the re
sult of materials casually gathered in the course of other researches. A much

from Rev. Lucius K. Paige. Whether there was any consanguinity between Dea.
Thomas Hastings, of Wat., and John Hastings, of Camb., has not been discovered.

JENISON (Jennison, Jennings. By the later generations always written
Jennison). There were two early settlers of Wat, of the name of JENISON, William and

WILLIAM JENISON was one of those who first signified their desire, Oct.

had the prefix "Mr.;" was mem. of the Artillery Co., 1637; Captain of the

and '45. He commanded one of the companies sent, in 1636, to avenge the
murder of Mr. John Oldham, by the Pequod Indians, at Black Island. About
1645, he sold his homestead to Rev. John Knowles (who afterwards sold it to
William Bond, Esq.), and not long after returned to England, where he proba-

JENNISON. 307
bly d. It appears by Winthrop (I., 133), that he had been a resident of Ber
muda. No notice has been discovered of either wife or children of Capt. Jeni-
son. [For a view of his character and worth, see Winthrop II., 176.]

* A sheet was printed in Boston, in 1834, entitled " History of the Jones Family,'' accompanied by a
genealogical tree, prepared by Mr. William H. Jones, Jr. [159-1 J, from a manuscript written several
years previously by Israel Jones, Esq., of Adams, Mass. From this sheet, only lately put into my hands,
I have received valuable additional information respecting some of the branches of this family. It is,
however, very deficient in dates, &c., which greatly lessens its value. It is to be hoped that some
person or association, in this family, will take up this genealogy where it is now left, and make it as
full and accurate as it ought to be ; correcting all the errors and supplying all its defects, adding such
biographical sketches as any of the members are entitled to.

Settled in Falmouth, near his brother Phinehas, with whom he was con
nected in business. He enlisted as a Captain in Col. Noble's regiment for
an expedition against Quebec in 1746, but the ships and troops from Eng
land did not arrive, which defeated the project, and Col. Noble was ordered
with his regiment to Minus, now Horton, in Nova Scotia, to keep the neutral
French, who lived there, in subjection. The French still held a fort at Cum
berland Bay. A considerable detachment was sent from that fort, more
than a hundred miles, to attack Col. Noble's party by surprise, in a heavy
snow-storm, in the night of Jan. 7, 1746. The enemy got very near the
Col's, quarters, where he and most of the officers were, before they were
discovered by the sentinel at the door, by reason of the violence of the
storm. The sentinel gave the alarm and fled. Capt. Jones immediately met
the enemy at the door, and was killed. They entered the house and killed
some of the officers before they were out of bed. Col. Noble was among
the slain. The main body of the force, at some distance from the Col's.
quarters, soon after capitulated. Capt. Jones left a wid., 2 sons, and 2 drs.

KEMBALL (Kemble, Kimball).
The name Kimball, now borne by so many families in this country, is undoubt
edly a corruption, or variation of Kemball or Kemble, a common name in Eng
land. In the Watertown records it was almost uniformly written Kemball for
several generations.

Embarked at Ipswich, Eng., for N. Eng., Ap. 10, 1634, in the Elizabeth, William

settled first in Watertown, of which he was a proprietor, 1636-7, and was adm.
freeman, May 6, 1635. He removed to Ipswich, probably in 1637, as in that
year, Feb. 23, a house-lot was then granted to him. His son Richard was also a
proprietor of Ipswich, in 1648. It was probably his son, " Henry Kemball, Jr.,"
who was proprietor of a homestall and 3 other lots in Wat., 1642. and who m., in
Wat, Nov. 13, 1650, Sarah Farwell. Richard Kemball, Senior, was probably the

44, with wife SUSANNA, aged 35, and chil., 1. Elizabeth, aged 4 yrs. 2. Su

LEARNED (Lemot, Lamed, Larnit, &c.)
WILLIAM LEARNED * was admitted freeman, May 14, 1634, and his name,
and that of his wife GOODETH [? Judith, or good wife] , are the first two on the
list of members of the present First Church, of Charlestown. " 1632, 10 mo.,
day 6, William Learned and Goodeth, his wife, were admitted." The follow
ing extract from the town records of Charlestown. is an evidence of how highly
he was esteemed for his intelligence and virtue: "1638, 26, 2d month, Mr.
Increase Nowell, Mr. Zachariah Sims, Mr. John Green, Mr. John Harvard, Left.
Ralph Sprague, and William Learned, were desired to consider of some things
tending towards a body of Lawes." Records, p. 20.
He was a subscriber to the town orders for Woburn, drawn up at Charles
town, Dec. 18, 1640; was one of the seven original members of the church in
Woburn, which was gathered, Aug. 14, 1642-3; was one of the first board of
Selectmen, chosen Ap. 13, 1644, and was re-elected the following year. He
was also elected constable (who was in those days the collector of taxes), for
the years, 1644 and '45. He d. in Woburn, Mar. 1, 1645-6, two days before
the third election of town officers. He left a wid., who had an annuity during
her widowhood. His accounts, as collector, were in part settled by his son Isaac,
Sept. 29, 1646, and finally settled, Oct. 4, 1648.
The name (Learned), has been varied much by the bad orthography of early
times, as Lemed, Lemot, Lamed, Larnit, &c, and many of his descendants now
write it, Lamed.
His son Isaac was doubtless born in England, and went with his father from
Charlestown to Woburn. He was an only child, so far as I have ascertained,
and all of the families of the name of Learned and Lamed in this country, so
far as known, are descended from him. Wid. Sarah Learned, d. in Maiden,
24, 11, 1660, and the Inventory of wid. Jane Learned, of Maiden, deceased, was
dated 12 mo., 1660. These records probably relate to the same person. Of their
(or her) affinity to William Learned, I know nothing.
* Since the materials for this genealogy were collected, Joseph G. E. Lamed, Esq., of New Haven,
has taken up the matter, as a special subject of investigation, and is pursuing it more thoroughly and
extensively than it would be in my power to do. I hope that all who are able will render him their
ready co-operation.

(II.) ISAAC LEARNED, m.. July 9, 1646, MARY STEARNS, eldest child of
Isaac and Mary Stearns, of Wat. [I. Stearns, 2, I.] The marriage is recorded
in Woburn as follows: "Isaac Larned and Mary Starnes, married, 9, 5 mo.,
1646." In the county record, the names are Learned and Sternes. He settled
first in Woburn. April 2, 1652, he sold his house and lands in Woburn, to
Bartholomew Pierson, of Watertown, and .moved to Chelmsford, where he was
a Selectman, and where he d. Nov. 27, 1657. Inventory, dated Dec. 7, 1657,

LIVERMORE.
JOHN LIVERMORE * probably the ancestor of all the Livermores in the United
States, embarked at Ipswich, Eng., for New England, in Ap., 1634, then aged
28, in the Francis, John Cutting, master. He was admitted freeman, May 6,
1.635. On the list of freemen, his name is written Leathermore, and in one or
more documents, with his signature, the scrivener wrote it Lithermore. He was
by trade a potter; was repeatedly a Selectman, and had other offices of trust.
It is probable that he did not settle immediately in Watertown, as his name is
not on the list of proprietors " then inhabiting," Feb., 1636-7; but he was there
in 1642. There is a tradition that he came over without his wife, and that
afterwards she came over, with one or more children. There is also a tradi
tion that there is a large sum in the English funds, belonging to the heirs of
the first John Livermore, which they might obtain, if they could furnish a legal
proof of their descent. What ground there is for this tradition I know not.
Attempts have been made to establish the title, but without success. He d. Ap.
14, 1684, aged 78. His Will, dated Jan. 10, 1682-3, proved June 16, 1684, men
tions wife GRACE, and the following chil.: eldest son John; the three youngest
chil., of John Coolidge, by his daughter, d. ; Daniel, Elizabeth, Sarah, Martha,
Samuel, Nathaniel, Hannah (Anna), and Grace; chil. of Samuel ; son-in-law James
Townsend, and his son James ; only one dr. then living. His Inventory, dated
Mar. 2, 1684, mentions 1st, the "Cowpen Farm," 40 acres upland, and 12 acres
meadow, formerly of Henry Curtis, which he (J. L.), purchased of the town,
Nov. 7, 1664, for his son John, and confirmed to him, his Will; 2d, 50 acres
dividend land, bought of Wm. Paine, and given to son Nathaniel; 3d, 2 acres
patch meadow; 4th, 4 acres Pigsgusset meadow; 5th, 6 acres salt marsh; 6th,
1 acre at Chester Brook ; 7th, 5 acres upland on the Rocks ; " a parcel of Bees,
£2." He had previously (Mar. 10, 1681), conveyed, by deed, to his son Samuel,
"as a recompense of that dutiful obedience, that the said Samuel hath yielded
to, and thereby hath been (through God's blessing), a comfort and support to

* The parentage of the first John Livermore, of Watertown, has not been conclusively ascer
tained ; but there is reason to suppose that he came from Little Thurloe, Co. of Suffolk. Little and
Great Thurloe are two adjoining Parishes, situated about 7 miles northwest of Clare. There was
a John Livermore baptized there, Sept. 30, 1604, which would make him one year older than the
age assigned to the emigrant who settled in Watertown. The following is the brief pedigree de
rived from those Parish registers :
PETER LIVERMORE. of Little Thurloe, in the Co. of Suffolk, m.. June 3. 1594, MARABELLA
WYSBYCH. His nuncupative Will was dated Nov. 11, and he was' buried Nov. 15, 1611. She was
buried July 12, 1612. Daniel Livermore was a witness to his Will. Chil.,

1. Petek, bap. Nov. 17, 1594 ; had dr. Elizabeth, bap. in Great Thurloe, Nov. 22, 1621.
2. Nicholas, bap. Ap. 16, 1596; m. (2d wife), Feb. 14, 1627, Elizabeth Norman; had sou Jolm, bap. in
Great Thurloe, Oct. 25, 1621.

4. Anne, bap. Nov. 16, 1602 ; mentioned in father's Will.
5. John, bap. Sept. 30, 1604 ; mentioned in father's Will.
6. Elizabeth, bap. Oct. 2, 1608; mentioned in father's Will.
7. Mababella, buried July 12, 1612.
ROBERT LIVERMORE and ALISK CLOUGHE, m, in Little Thurloe, Feb. 27. 1593, and had dr.
Anne, bap. Ap. 21, 1594.
LAUNCELOT LIVERMORE, of Little Thurloe ; had son Thomas, bap. Oct. 10, 1596. In the records
the name is written variously, as Lyvermore, L> vernier, Levermore, Livermer.

the said John and family," his homestead, 34 acres, with a dwelling-house, &c;
also, 20 acres woodland.

The Will of his wid. GRACE, dated Dec. 19, 1690, proved June 16, 1691,
mentions her son and dr., Abraham and Martha Parker, of Chelmsford, where
she died ; also, son John Coolidge. gr. son James Townsend, her sons John,
Nathaniel, and Samuel, but not Daniel. Her name repeatedly occurs in the
Court Records as " a midwife." The birth of only one child is recorded in
Watertown records. William Perry and wife Anna, of Wat., in a petition to
the County Court, 1682, mention " our sister Livermore, midwife, and our sister
Chinery." Whether this was anything more than an expression of Christian
affection, has not been ascertained.

MASON.

MASON.
[My friend Dr. Thaddeus William Harris, Librarian of Harvard University,
has nearly ready for the press a genealogy of the descendants of Capt. Hugh
Mason ; and it may be expected to be a model for works of this kind. The
plan of this work seems to require the insertion of the following brief gene
alogy, on account of its numerous connexions with other families. But no one,
interested in such inquiries, or in this family, should be satisfied with this brief
article, which is considerably less extended than it would have been, except
for that expected work.]

(I.) Capt. HUGH MASON, a tanner, one of the very first settlers of Watertown,
was adm. freeman, Mar. 4, 1634-5; Rep. 1644, '45, '60, '61, '64, '71, '74, '75.
'76, and '77; Selectman, 29 years, between 1639 and 1678, inclusive; a Lieut
as early as 1649, and made Captain, May 5, 1652. He was, for many years,
one of the three Commissioners appointed by the County Court to determine
small cases. [This was before the appointment of Justices of the Peace.] Oct.
30, 1657, he was appointed by the Court, one of a Committee to attend to the
defects in several bridges in the County. Dec 18, 1660, he was appointed on
a Committee to take account of John Steadman, County Treasurer, and make
a levy, &c It has been conjectured that he was a brother of Capt. John Mason,
the distinguished Pequot warrior. He d. October 10, 1678, aged 73. By wife
ESTHER, who d. May 1, 1692, he had 7 chil. [See Barry, p. 298.]

MORSE (Mors, Mosse, Moss). .
[For a very copious genealogy of families of the name of Morse in this country,
the reader is referred to that very valuable work, entitled " Memorial of the Morses,"
by Rev. Abner Morse, published in Boston in 1850, with a large supplement thereto
published the ensuing year. It contains numerous biographical and historical
sketches, and several portraits of distinguished individuals. The materials for the
following brief genealogy were collected several years previous to the date of that
work, and the plan of this work requires it to be inserted here, on account of its
numerous connexion with other Watertown families.]
JOSEPH MORSE,aged 24 years, embarked at Ipswich, Eng., Ap., 1634, in the ship
Elizabeth, Wm. Andrews master. His name is on the earliest list of proprietors of
Watertown, and he was adm. freeman May 6, 1635. He was the eldest son of
Joseph and Deborah Morse, who came to America, probably a year or two later
than this son, and settled in Ipswich. He married HESTER PEIRCE, dr. of John
and Elizabeth Peirce, of Watertown. [See Peirce, 1.] The names of five of his
children are found in the Wat. records of births, &c. He had three others, whose
births are not recorded. He d. Mar. 4, 1690-1, and his estate was admin, by his
son John. 
1. Joseph, b. Ap. 30, 1637; m., Feb. 11, 1660-1, Susanna Shattuck. [Shattuck, 2.]
After the birth of his 2d child he moved to Groton. He d. in 1677, and his wid.
m. (2d), in Wat., July 5, 1678, John Fay. [See Fay.]
1. Susanna, b. in Wat, Jan. 11, 1662-3.
2. Hester, b. in Wat, Sept. 11, 1664; d. Aug. 27, 1725; m., Feb. 12, 1684-5,

OLDHAM.
It is not known to the writer in what year Mr. JOHN OLDHAM came to Ame
rica; but it must have been prior to 1628; for in that year the Governor of Ply
mouth intrusted him with the charge of Morton, the Merry Mount rioter, and he
went to England in 1628. It was in the same year that Mr. Oldham and John
Dorrill obtained of John Gorges a lease of a tract of land which embraced most of
the territory of the present cities of Charlestown, and Cambridge, and of Summer-
ville, and probably a small part of Wat. [See Froth ingham's Hist, of Charlestown,
pp. 10, 1 1, 15, 17.] The above-mentioned lease was riot valid, and perhaps it was
in consequence thereof, that the General Court granted him a farm of 500 A. in
Watertown, Ap. 1, 1634'. This was long known as the " Oldham farm," and after
wards as the Dummer farm. June 2, 1641, after the decease of Oldham, the Gen.
Court ordered said land "to be laid out for Matthew Cradock," of London, to
whom Oldham was indebted. This farm then passed successively into the pos
session of Simon Bradstul, of Ipswich, Thomas Mayhew, of Wat., and Richard
Dummer, of Newbury. The town attempted to invalidate Mr. Dummer's title;
but by a vote of the town, passed Oct. 24, 1659, which was accepted by the Court,
his title was confirmed, and the controversy ended.
This farm was between Waltham Plain and Stoney Brook, bounded on the S.
E. by Charles River, and it included Mount Feake. Dec. 2, 1661, Richard Dummer
and wife Frances sold the N. E. half (250 A.) of the farm to Richard Gale, whose
descendants have retained possession of a part of it to a very recent date. Dec. 24,
1684, Jeremie Dummer, of Boston, son of Richard, sold the other half (250 A.) of
the farm to Robert Harrington for £90.
Mr. Oldham was adm. freeman May 18, 1631, and he was the first Rep. of Wat,
1634. In 1632, he and Mr. John Masters were chosen by Wat. to advise with the
Governor and assistants about the raising of public stock, &c. [Winthrop I., 76.]
Aug., 1632, his house, near the weare, in Wat, was burnt. He was murdered, in
July, 1636, at Black Island, by the Pequod Indians, and this murder was the im
mediate cause of the exterminating Pequod war. [See Winthrop I., 189, and Hin
man, p. 58.]

ONGE (Ong).
Wid. FRANCES ONG was proprietor Feb., 1636-7, and was buried Nov. 12, 1638,
aged 55. She was probably the mother of Simon Ong, b. 1624, oi Jacob, and per
haps of Mary Ong, who embarked at Ipswich, Ap., 1634, aged 27. Simon Ong
lived on the south side of Charles River, on land bought of John Fuller, who at
tempted to reclaim it, but without success. His Inventory, dated Nov. 8, 1678,
and his estate admin, by his brother Jacob, then of Wat, soon after of Groton.

year sold land in Wat, which he had bought of his father, John, and the next
year he, then " of Groton," sold 40 A. of land in Wat. to Dea. Thomas Hastings.
In 1700 to 1703, he sold 8 lots of land in Groton to his son Jonathan, and in

(Lex.) in 1642, and he settled in Camb. Village (Newton), about 1647. He

Jackson's. In 1657, Mr. Edward Jackson, Dea. John Jackson, and Dea. Samuel

PAYNTER. — PEABODY. — PEIRCE. 393
PAYNTER.— See Nevinson.

PEABODY (Pebody). See Smith, 31.

PEIRCE (Pierce, Pearce, Perce, Peers, Pers, &c.)
The orthography of the name of this family is much and often varied in the
records. That adopted here has been generally used ; but many, especially of
the later generations, have adopted Pierce, which is probably the correct ortho
graphy.

(I.) JOHN PEIRCE, a weaver, of Wat., adm. freeman, Mar., 1637-8. His Will.
not naming his chil., was dated Mar. 4, 1667-8, and he d. Aug. 19, 1661. His
wid. ELIZABETH, d. Mar. 12, 1666-7. Her Will, dated Mar. 5, proved Ap. 2,
1667, mentions son Anthony (sole exe'r), son Robert (adm. freeman, May 13,
K.42), son John, dr. Esther Morse (wife of the first Joseph Morse, of Wat), dr.
Mary Coldam, gr. drs. Mary and Esther Ball, chil. of her dr. Elizabeth. [See Ball.
3.] It is probable that her son Robert settled in Woburn. Perhaps her son John,
was the one adm. freeman, 1652, and the one who, by wife Elizabeth, had John,
b. in Boston, June 16, 1643. It is however more probable that he was an early
settler of Wethersfield, Conn. Among the gleanings of Judge Savage, for New
England History (Mass. Hist. Coll., 4th Series, Vol. I., p. 96), is the following
extract from an ancient document, lately found in the English Exchequer.
"April the 8th, 1637. The examination of John Pers of Norwch in Noff [Nor
wich in Norfolk] weaver aged 49 yeares and Elizabeth his wife aged 36 yeares
with four children John, Barbre, Elizabeth and Judeth and one sarvant John Ged-
ney aged 19 yeares are desirous to passe to Boston in New England to inhabitt."
The name, age, occupation, and date of the embarkation of the father of this
family, favour the idea that he was the John Peirce, who settled in Wat If so,
either Elizabeth was his 2d wife, or there was a mistake in her age ; and he
must have come to America some years after the arrival of his son Anthony.

DANIEL PEIRCE, aged 23, embarked at Ipswich, Eng., for N. Eng., in 1634;
was a blacksmith and proprietor of Wat, Feb. 1636-7 ; was adm. freeman, May
2, 1638, and moved to Newbury that year. [See Coffin, p. 314, and Farmer.
They were probably his eons Daniel, and Joshua, who had the chief agency in
settling the town of Woodbridge, N. Jersey, in 1667. [See Coll. N. J. Hist. Soc,
Vol. I., pp. 41 and 2.]

EDWARD PEIRCE (" Pearce"), was a householder of Wat, in 1639 ; probably
soon after went to Wethersfield, Conn.
(II.) ANTHONY PEIRCE, b. 1609; son of John (L); was adm. freeman, Sept. 3,
1634; and was ancestor of all or nearly all the families bearing the name afterwards
in Wat, Waltham, Weston, Lincoln, and Lex. His homestall was on the north
side of the road from Camb., immediately west of the homestall of John Stowers,
which was afterwards fhe parsonage, occupied by Rev. Mr. Angier. It was after
wards the residence of his sons Joseph and Benjamin. He m. (1st) SARAH
 . He m. (2d), about 1638, ANNE  . He d. May 9, 1678. Will dated

widow employed William Way as her Attorney. She afterwards m. William
Fuller.

SALTONSTALL.
Sir Richard Saltonstall, son of Samuel, and grandson of Gilbert Saltonstall, Esq.,
of Halifax, in Yorkshire, was the first named associate of the six original paten
tees of Massachusetts, and one of the first Assistants, and was present at their
court, Aug. 23, 1630. He came over in the same ship with Gov. Winthrop, in
1630, and was the leader among the first permanent settlers of Watertown.
It appears, by Winthrop's Journal [I., p. 29], that he brought over with him,
three sons and two daughters. He returned to England the next spring (1631),
taking with him his two daughters and youngest son. He did not return to
America. His Will was made in 1658, and it is not known how long he lived
afterwards. He had five sons, Richard, Henry, Samuel, Robert, and Peter, and
he had at least two daughters, who, in 1644, resided in the family of the Earl
of Warwick and Lady Manchester.
1. Richard, b. 1610; came over in 1630; was admitted freeman, May 18, 1631,
and settled in Ipswich. It is probable that he went to Watertown with his
father, and remained there for a few years, as his name does not appear
in the Ipswich records until 1635. He returned to England finally in 1683,
and d. at Hulme, Ap. 29, 1694, aged 84. He was father of Col. Nathaniel, of
Haverhill, and ancestor of most of those bearing that name in New England.
[See Farmer.]
2. Henry. He was member of the Art. Co., 1639, and was proprietor of a
farm of 300' acres, and 88 acres, of meadow, in Wat., in 1642; grad Harv.
Coll., 1642. He returned to England; went to Holland, 1644; M.D., at the
University of Padua, Oct., 1649, and at Oxford, June 24, 1652.
3. Samuel, in 1642, proprietor of a homestall in Wat, and 7 other lots, and pro-

bably had the land of his brother Henry, after his return to England. Water-
town was his permanent residence, where he d., Jan. 21, 1696, and admi
nistration was granted, Oct. 7, 1696, to his nephew, Col. Nathaniel Saltonstall.
It is supposed that he was the " Mr. Samuel," sometimes mentioned in the
records, omitting the family name. Although he lived so long in Wat., there
is no record of wife or children, and he appears to have had little or nothing to
do with the municipal affairs of the town.

SANDERSON.
There were two early settlers of Watertown, of the name of Sanderson, viz.,
Robert and Edward. What affinity there was between them, has not been ascer
tained.

ROBERT SANDERSON, and wife LYDIA, were among the first settlers of
Hampton, in 1638, where they had dr. Mary, bap. Oct. 29, 1639. Soon after
this he moved to Watertown, of which he was a proprietor, 1642, and where
he m., about 1642, MARY, wid. of John Cross. [See Cross.] He remained in
Wat. until about 1653, when he moved to Boston, where he was a deacon.
and d. there, Oct. 7, 1696. July 20. 1650, he (then of Wat.) sold to Richard
Swaine, a house and 10 acres of land in Hampton. Oct. 17, 1653, he, "a
silversmith," then said to be of Wat, bought land in Wat, of William God
frey. Chil. (after he left Hampton, by his 2d wife), 1. Joseph, b. (birth recorded

Joseph, b. in Camb., Oct. 10, 1684. He had a 2d wife Hester.
Perhaps William Sanderson [120], of Wat., was a son of Robert, but his lineage
has not been ascertained.
John Hull, a Selectman, and many years Town Treasurer of Boston, a man of
wealth,* the first Mint Master of New England, and the coiner of the " pine-
tree coin," in his diary, under date of 1652 (?3), relates how he was chosen
to make coin, and adds: "I chose my friend Robert Sanderson, to be my
partner, to which the Court consented." Sept. 1, 1658, he says ; " my boy, John
Sanderson, complained of his head aching, and took his bed ; a strong fever set
in, and after 17 days' sore sickness, he departed this life." Under date of
Nov. 8, 1658, he says, " the Lord exercised with sickness my partner Robert
Sanderson, and his son Joseph, but yet was pleased to recover them both.
Joseph kept the house about a month, and my partner 18 days."
* When his only dr. Hannah, "was married to Judge Samuel Sewall (his 2d wife), he is said to
have put her into one scale, and to have put coin into the other scale, so as to balance her weight,
for her dowry. In his diary, July 1, 1658, he says, "I received into my house Jeremie Dummer, and
Samuel Paddy, to serve me as apprentices eight years.'' [See Farmer.]

(I.) EDWARD SANDERSON, m., Oct. 15, 1645, MARY EGGLESTON [per
haps the eldest dr. of Bagot and Brigget Eggleston, of Dorchester, afterwards
of Windsor, Conn.] The birth of only one child, Jonathan, is recorded in
Watertown. He sold his house and land in Wat. to William Shattuck, Sen.,
and probably moved to Cambridge. In the church records is this record, " Mar.
20, 1686-7, bap. Hester Saunders, a young person, dr. of Edward Saunders."
The name of this family (Sanderson) in the early records is frequently written
Sanders and Saunders* From Edward, are descended most of the families of
the name of Sanderson, in Wat, Waltham, and Weston.

Oct., 1630, to be adm. freeman, and was adm. next May, 18. He was a pro
prietor, 1636-7, and 1642, after he left the town. In 1634, he and Abraham
Browne were employed together in the survey of Wat. In 1636, he was
ordered " to surcease to do any more business for the town," about which
time he joined that small colony that went from Wat., to settle Wethersfield,
Conn. He sold his homestall (16 acres), to Simon Eire. [See Farmer, and see
Hinman, pp. 72, and 235.] He was probably the Lieut. Seeley in the Pequot
War, and perhaps was the Capt. Seeley, of Stratford, killed in battle by the
Indians, Dec, 1675.

SEWALL.— RICHARD and ABIGAIL SEWALL, had Hannah, Sarah,

SHATTUCK.
[Lemuel Shattuck, Esq., of Boston, has had a genealogy of the descendants
of William and Susanna Shattuck, of Watertown, ready, or nearly ready, for the

SHATTUCK. 427
press for several years ; and the delay of its publication is much regretted.
Coming from a person, in many respects so competent for the undertaking, it
cannot fail to be full, accurate, and skilfully arranged. The following genealogy,
although brief and imperfect, seems to be necessary in this place, on account of
the numerous alliances between this and other Watertown families.]

(I.) WILLIAM SHATTUCK, settled in Wat. as early as 1642 or '3, when he was
not more than 21 years of age. According to his age given when he was a
witness in Court, he was born 1621. His name is on the schedule of proprie
tors and possessions, made out in 1642 to 1644, when he was very young. He
then had a homestall of one acre, and a small lot of upland. July 4, 1654, he
bought of John Clough, tailor, of Wat, and Susan, his wife, his house and gar
den, and 30 acres of upland : bounded east by Wm. Paine, and E. Goffe; west by
highway ; north by Joseph Morse, and south by highway. Also, 25 acres of upland,
bounded west by a brook, east by common land, south by Edm., Lewis, north
by John Coolidge. Also, 3 acres of swamp land. Also, one-third part of twelve
acres of meadow; bounded west by highway, and on other sides by Wm. Paine,
and Ed. Goffe. By his Will, dated Aug. 3, 1672, then " aged 50 years,;' he gave
to son Samuel Church £6 ; to son Philip, one-half of farm and 2 acres in pond
meadow ; to son William, the other half of the farm, and 2 acres in pond mea
dow ; to four small children, my mare with all her increase ; the remainder of
goods to wife Susanna, until the younger chil., Benjamin and Samuel, are twenty-
one years of age; to said Samuel and Benjamin, the house and land I dwell on,
bought of Edward Sanderson, and my half dividend ; to elder son John, £20 ; and
£40, to be divided among his grandchildren. In his Inventory, the house and
land, and half dividend, appraised at £180. The farm at Stoney Brook (given to
sons Philip and Wm.), appraised at £20, and the 4 acres of pond meadow at £4.
He d. Aug. 14, 1672, leaving wid. SUSANNA (his only wife), who m., Nov. 18,

SPRING.
Embarked at Ipswich, Eng., for New Eng., Ap. 10, 1634, in the Elizabeth,
William Andrews, Master, John Spring, aged 45, wife Elinor, aged 46; dr. Mary,
aged 11 ; son Henry, aged 6; son John, aged 4 yrs., and son William, 9 months.

(I.) JOHN SPRING, and wife ELINOR, settled in Wat, and his name is on
the earliest list of proprietors, 1636-7. Mar. 21, 1656-7, he executed a deed
of gift to his son Henry, of his house and land in Wat., reserving to himself,
during his lifetime, the north end of the house; after his decease, the same to
go to son Henry, with conditions that said Henry pay his father an annuity, and,
after the decease of his father, pay John Spring, Jr., £30. [Mid. Deeds, Vol. I.,
p. 233.] As there is no provision for wife, Elinor, she must have d. previously

442

SPRING.

to the date of that deed. It is believed that all the families of the name of
Spring in New England, and perhaps in the U. S., are descended from John and
Elinor, of Watertown.
[Robert Spring resided in Charlestown 1727 to 1737, and had chil. bap. there. I
know nothing of his lineage, or whether he left any descendants.]

1. Mary, b. 1623 ; m., about 1642, John Davis, q. v. She d. a wid. 1656.
2. Henry, b. 1628; adm. freeman, May 30, 1660.
3. John, b. 1630.
4. William, b. July, 1633. He settled in Barbadoes. He had a son John, who
came to Newton, after the decease of his father in Barbadoes, and in 1695,
he chose his uncle, John Spring, to be his guardian. The Will of John
Spring, housewright, of Newton, son and heir of William Spring, late of Bridge-
ton, Barbadoes, dated Aug. 6, 1698, gave all his estate to his loving friend,
Jonathan Green, of Newton, in token of gratitude to him for his kindness
and care in his straits and difficulties, &c, in which others, of whom he might
have expected help, deserted him. [See Estabrook, 4.]

(II.) HENRY SPRING, m., Jan. 7, 1657-8, MEHITABEL BARTLETT. [Bart
lett, 2.] He m. (2d), Sept. 12, 1691, SUSANNA, wid. of Gregory Cook. [Gook,

Thomas; drs. Elizabeth Mellings (Mellen); Mehitabel and Abigail. Inventory,
dated Nov. 25, 1697, £317. 7. As early as 1680, he was elected the town
"prizer," and continued to hold the office until 1695. The duty of apprizer appears
to have been to fix the rate at which agri- „ .
cultural products shall pass in the payment PLaP^HQSW oy13^**^^
of taxes and debts. He was often employed *— -
in taking inventories, and settling estates.

and he d. May 18, 1717, aged 87. He was a very active, useful citizen; was
Selectman 20 yrs., between 1683 and 1710, and was Rep. 1704, '6, and '7. In
1680, Watertown chose John Spring, " to make a new invoice." Was this John,
Sen., or John, Jun. ? John, Jun., had moved to Newton prior to that date, and
John, Sen., if alive, would have been at least 90 years old. It seems to me
not improbable, that there was an error in the record, and that it was Henry
Spring (the town prizer) who was chosen to make a new invoice.

12. Marshall, b. Feb. 19, 1741-2; d. Jan. 7, 1818; grad. Harv. Coll., 1762,
soon commenced the study of medicine, probably with his maternal uncle,
Dr. Josiah Converse, a highly esteemed physician, of Wat,, who aided him
in obtaining his education, and who bequeathed to him the larger part of
his estate. After finishing his professional studies, he resided a short time
in the island of St. Eustatia. With that exception, he always resided in his
native town; and during his long life, sustained such a high professional
repute, as very few private practitioners have attained to. He was eminent as
a wit, and it is said that he was the only man of that time, who could suc
cessfully meet Chief Justice Parsons "in the keen encounter of wits." In
the Revolution he was a tory, fully and firmly " convinced of the entire
inexpediency of resistance." Yet, on the 19th of Ap. 1775, he arrived early
at Lexington, and devoted his best skill and care to his wounded fellow-
citizens. Although his tory sentiments were well known, and very generally
odious in that vicinity, and he did not try to conceal them ; yet his professional
services were so highly appreciated, so necessary to the people, and his man
ners so winning, pervaded with such a tone of benevolence, that he seldom suf
fered any serious annoyance on account of his political sentiments. He main
tained that the people were incapable of self-government; and on that ground,
he opposed the adoption of the
Federal Constitution, as being
too feeble, not sufficiently
stringent in its tone. Yet, at
the first election of Mr. Jeffer
son to the Presidency, he
joined the popular party that
had opposed the adoption of
the Constitution on the opposite ground, that it was too stringent, tending too
much to centralization. To an intimate friend he jocularly assigned his reason
for joining that party, " He said he was nearly losing both property and country,
by opposing the popular party in the Revolution ; and, as he now saw that the
people were up and forever by that election, he did not intend to run that risk a
second time."
He taught the school in Wat. the year after he left College ; was Rep. of Wat.
1787, and repeatedly a member of the Governor's Executive Council. For a
more copious account of his character, talents, and services, see Thatcher's
Am. Med. Biography. He m. (1st) 1791, MARY, wid. of Dr. Barnabas Bin-

Arms. Or, a chevron between three crosses flory sable. Crest, a cock starling proper.
A coat of arms similar to this formerly belonged to the occupants of the old Stearns
homestead in Watertown ; and there is now a similar one belonging to a branch of the
Manning family in Cambridge (descendants of Isaac Stearns), from which the accom
panying illustration is taken. It is the same as that borne by families of the name of
Sterne in the counties of Bucks, Cambridge, Hertford, and Norfolk, England ; the same
also as that borne by Richard Sterne, Archbishop of York, who was descended from
the Sternes of Nottinghamshire.
It is probable that all the families of the name of Stearns in the United States, are
descended from three early immigrants ; as, in every instance, where the lineage of a
family has been traced back, it has been to one of the following, viz., Isaac, or Charles,
who settled in Watertown ; or Nathaniel, who settled in Dedham. Isaac, in his Will,

ISAAC STEARNS.

calls Charles " ray kinsman," probably his nephew. What affinity there was between
Nathaniel and the other two, has not been ascertained ; but there is reason to suppose that
he was related to them.
On May 17, 1662, Thomas Clark sold a lot of land in Boston, bounded S. E. by
land of Daniel Sternes. [Suffolk Deeds, IV., p. 268.] This is the only record or notice of
this Daniel Sternes, that I have met with. There are families of the name of Starn or Stern
in the Middle and Southern States, who are of German origin.
The orthography of the name, (Stearns) now, with very few exceptions, adopted by
the descendants of Isaac, Charles, and Nathaniel, is undoubtedly a variation, or a cor
ruption of the name, STERNE, which has been effected in this country. It probably
commenced in the pronunciation, and afterwards extended to the writing, of the name.
Sterne is a well-known name in the counties of Nottingham, Berks, Norfolk, Hertford,
Suffolk, and Cambridge, in England; but the name, Stearns, has not occurred to me
in any English work. In Winthrop's Journal, and in the early town and county records,
the name is written Sterne. In the Will of the first Isaac Stearns, dated 1671, the name
has the correct orthography, with the exception or addition of a superfluous terminal s,
sometimes used in England. A very few now write their names, Sterns and Starns.
ISAAC STEARNS came to America, in 1630, in the same ship, as there is reason to
believe, wiih Gov. Winthrop, and Sir Richard Saltonstall, and settled in Watertown, near
Mount Auburn.* He was adm. freeman, May 18, 1631, which is the earliest date of
any such admission, and he was Selectman several years. In 1647, he and Mr. Biscoe,
were appointed by the Selectmen, "to consider how the bridge over the river shall be
built, and to agree with the workmen for doing it, according to their best discretion,"
This is, says Dr. Francis, in his history, "the first mention of a bridge over Charles
River, at Watertown." He d. June 19, 1671, leaving a wid. MARY, who d. Ap. 2, 1677,
The births of only three of his children are recorded in the town records, and it is probable
that two, perhaps three, of them were born in England. His pedigree has not been
ascertained, nor is it certainly known what town he came from; but it is very probable
that he came from the Parish of Nayland in Suffolk. Mr. Somerby obtained the follow
ing extract from the Parish Register of Nayland :
" Baptized Jan. 6, 1626, Mary, dau. of Isaac Sternes.
Baptized Oct. 5, 1628, Anna, dau. of Isaac Sterns."
* His homestall, in 1642, was bounded ou the N. by John Warren ; W. by highway ; S. by John Biscoe ; E-
by Pequusset Meadow, a part of which meadow he owned. In the distribution of the estate of his son Samuel,
in 1724, to his eldest son, Nathaniel, -was assigned this homestall, " where his grandfather had lived." From
Nathaniel, it probably passed to his son Daniel.

The names and ages of these two daughters seem to correspond exactly with the
supposed ages of the two eldest children of the first Isaac Stearns, of Watertown; for
in the early records, Anna and Hannah were very often used, the one for the other.
It appears, from the appraisal of his estate, that he was in comparative affluence for.
those early times, considering that he had previously given respectable portions to each
of his seven children; for it embraces 14 lots or parcels of land, amounting to 467 acres,
with a due quantity of stock and farming utensils, provisions, and household goods. See
his Inventory on the preceding page.
His Will, dated five days before his decease, with his autograph signature, is extant on
the files of the Probate Office of Middlesex County, and is as follows :
" I, Isack Sternes, of Watertown, in the County of Middlesex, being sick in body, but
through the goodness of God in sound memory, do declare this to be my last Will and
Testam [ent], in manner and form as followeth :
"¦Imp. — ffirst, I return my spirit into the hands of God that gave it, and my body to the
earth, from whe:.ce it was taken.
" 2dly. My will is, that Mary, my beloved wife, should enjoy my whole estate, for her
maintainance, so long as she shall live a widow ; but if my said wife shall marry again,
then my will is that she should enjoy only what the law intended and provided for in the
law titled dowers.
" 3dly. I give and bequeath to my grand children, the children of my sonne John
Sternes, fower score pounds, [which] being added to what my son had formerly, will be
a double portion with the rest of my children.
" 4thly. I give unto my son Isaac Sternes, seventy pounds, which being added to what
he have had already, will be his proportion according to the rest of my children.
" 5thly. I give to my son Samuel Sternes, seventy pounds, which being added to what I
formerly gave him, will be his proportion with the rest of my children.
" 6th_y. I give to my grand children, the children of my daughter Mary, deceased,
five and thirty pounds; my grand child, Isaac Lernot, to have ten pounds of the said
35 pounds — the remainder, which will be twenty-five pounds, to be equally divided to
the rest ; which said thirty-five pounds being added to what I formerly gave my daughter
Mary Lernot, will be an equal proportion with the rest of my children.
" 7thly. I give to my daughter Sarah Stone, forty pounds, which being added to what
she formerly had, will be her proportion.
" 8thly. I give to my daughter Elizabeth Manning, twenty pounds, which being added
to what I formerly gave her, will be her proportion ; further, my will is, that the said
twenty pounds given to my daughter Elizabeth aforesaid, be secured for the good and
benefit of the children.
" 9thly. I give and bequeath to my daughter Abigail Morss, five acres of meadow,
lying and being at Samuel's farm, to enjoy and possess for her and her heirs for
ever, and my will is, that my daughter Abigail Morss, may take the said five acres
of meadow, either next to Samuel's meadow, or next Capt. Mason's; and besides the
meadow, I give to my said daughter Abigail, forty pounds, all which being added to
what she have had- formerly, will b.e her proportion.
'•' lOthly. My will is, that my kinsman Charles Sternes, shall have ten pounds of my
estate. Further, my will is, that my whole estate remain whole and unbroken for comfort
and maintainance of my beloved wife, as above said, so long as she doth remain a widow
— save only the five acres of meadow given to my daughter Abigail, which she is to enjoy
presently. " ffurther, I nominate and appoint my beloved sons Isaac Sternes, and Samuel Sternes,
executors, to this my last Will and Testament; and have hereunto set my hand, this
fourteenth day of June, one thousand six hundred and seventy-one, in presence of.
" Before subscribing, my will is, that when those several legacies are paid out accord
ing to my Will within mentioned, then my will is, that the remainder of my estate
shall be equally divided among my children then living, and so subscribe the day afore
said by putting to my hand in presence of,

medicine with Dr. Joshua Brackett, of Portsmouth, N. H., and commenced
practice in connexion with Dr. Hall Jackson, of Marblehead. He soon re
linquished the practice of medicine ; and, after qualifying himself, under the
instruction of a chemist in Boston, he commenced the business of apothecary
and grocer, in Salem, Mass., in which he was very successful. A corre
spondent says, "he never spoke ill of a person, and was the most singularly
honest man I ever knew." He represented the town repeatedly in the State
Legislature ; often held municipal offices, and was most fond of that of Over
seer of the Poor, as affording him the greatest opportunity to gratify his bene
volent feelings. He was noted for hospitality and public spirit. He took the
lead in making the turnpike from Salem to Boston, and at one time owned
one-eighth of the stock. The first large block of brick buildings in Salem
was his. The night before the battle of Bunker Hill, he was employed the
whole night in throwing up the breastworks, and during the action was taking
care of his parents at their farm at Plowed Hill. In the yard in the rear of their
house, Major McCleary was killed by a ball or shell from the hill. [258, V.]

Erected by the town of Lunenburg.
is sacred to the memory of
The Reverend DAVID STEARNS,
their much beloved and respected Pastor,
who departed this life,
in the joyful expectation of a better,
on the 9th day of March, A. D., 1761.
In his private capacity, he was a kind husband, a tender parent, an affectionate brother, and a faithful
friend. In his ministerial character, his conversation was pure, entertaining, and instructive ; his doc
trines plain and scriptural, and his life truly exemplary. He was adorned wiih hospitality, with singu
lar prudence, and a most endearing benevolence; with a good knowledge of men and things; with a
fervent zeal for the glory of Christ, and the salvation of souls, and was governed by the united influence
of these accomplishments. Help, Lord, for the godly man ceaseth."

Mr. Stearns was a close and thorough student. He studied the Scriptures in
their original languages, with unremitting diligence. His limited means would
not allow him to possess much of a library; but he was favoured with the use
of books by friends, who were better able to own them. He was accustomed
to borrow one volume at a time, and when he had read it through, its con
tents were his own. The late Rev. Dr. Thayer, of Kingston, mentioning this
fact, added, " the Bible especially was his library." So intimate was his know
ledge of the Scriptures, that he could readily cite the chapter and verse, where
almost any verse was to be found.
" Mr. Stearns was an ard,ent friend of libbrty. Some of his sons were in the
field during a great part of the Revolutionary contest, and he sacrificed most of
his worldly interest in support of the American cause. [Alden's epitaph.] He

474

ISAAC STEARNS.

was a member of a State Convention, in Exeter, in which he regarded himself
as fully committed to the risk of his personal safety. Returning from the Con
vention, he called his children around him, told them of the stand he had
taken, and added, " If the cause shall prevail, it will be a great benefit to the
country ; but if it shall fail, your poor old father's head will soon be a button for
a halter." Mr. Stearns was tall in person, and interesting in his pulpit performances. He
held the untiring attention of his audience, which not unfrequently filled the
seats and aisles of his meeting-house ; while in pleasant weather, a number
stood abroad, around the doors and windows. The following anecdote illus
trates the dignity and influence of his character. He happened to pass through
a room where a party of military officers were engaged in very free and profane
conversation. The individual who was speaking at the time, suddenly stopped
and seemed abashed. His comrades rallied him on his timidity, as soon as Mr.
Stearns disappeared. " Rev. Stearns would awe the devil," was the officer's
immediate reply.
Of Mr. Stearns' printed sermons, two were on 1 John. 4, 8, "God is love."
These were preached in Exeter, and printed after his death, at the request, made
to him in his last sickness, of Hon. John Philips, for the use of the members
of the Academy. Another was on Early Piety, with a brief memoir of Samuel
Lawrence, preached Sept. 19, 1779. Another was a Fast Sermon. [N. H. Repo
sitory for Jan., 1847, pp. 107-10.]
In the Essex Journal and New- Hampshire Packet, of Aug. 27, 1788, is the
following short biographical notice of Mr. Stearns, written, it is said, by Rev. Dr.
Tappan, of Newbury, afterwards Prof, of Divinity, in Harvard University:
" Mr. Hoyt, — The Rev. Mr. Steams, whose death was announced in your last,
sustained a character too great and too good to be passed over in silence. The
God of Nature had endued him with singular abilities, which, by the aid of
erudition, fitted Jiim for extensive usefulness. His assiduous application to the
work of the ministry, was truly worthy of imitation. In him shone an assem
blage of virtues and graces, which rarely meet in the same person. He had a
lively fancy, a penetrating judgment, a correct taste, and a mind as expanded
as the heavens. His conversation was ever seasonable, grave, pathetic, and
instructive. His public discourses were replete with good sense, with important
truths in a clear and instructive light, and received the approbation of the best
judges. He despised pageantry, without the appearance of affectation. He trusted
to nothing mortal; pitied, but envied not, such as had their portion in this life.
His advice in council was often sought, and ever approved. He had a consti-
stutional firmness, and was capable of the most dispassionate reasoning. He
repudiated errors, ancient and modern, and rejoiced to the last in his faithful
adherence to the doctrines of grace. Elevated by the purer sentiments, he ever
possessed a mind calm and serene. God, who is all-wise in council, was pleased
to try his faith and patience in the furnace of affliction. After a lingering and
painful sickness, he died of a cancer, in the 57th year of his age. In him died
a friend to justice, liberty, and energetic government. A vigorous watchman, a
patient guide, an affectionate pastor, a prudent, kind husband, and an indulgent
but truly faithful parent.
" More joyful than a conqueror with his spoils, he retired from the present
scene of action. We trust that he is gone to a state of immortal bliss, and will
be an associate of those who have come out of great tribulation."

to take up arms in the Revolution. He commanded a company on Dorchester
Heights, when the British evacuated Boston. He, with Samuel Barnard (a major
in the Revolutionary Army), and John Randall, all of Watertown, were of the
" Boston Tea-Party," and assisted in that renowned transaction. He was offered
a Colonel's commission, but the care of his young children, upon the death of
his wife, and of a family of apprentices and journeymen, prevented his conti
nuing in the public service after the British left Boston. He was distinguished
for his benevolent and cheerful disposition, which was strongly marked in his
open, manly countenance. This, with his good sense and strict integrity, made
him a favourite of all who knew him. He m., 1767, HANNAH BEMIS, b. June

Col. BENJAMIN BELLOWS was the youngest son of Benjamin Bellows* who
was the youngest son of Dr. John Bellows, who m, in Marlboro, Mass., 1655, Mary
Wood. He was a land surveyor, a very large proprietor, and a very early settler
of Walpole, N. H, for some time called " Bellowstown." Bellows Falls were
named from him. He " possessed wonderful energy and decision, with a great
capacity for business ;" and is said to have been not less characterized by his
liberality and great practical benevolence. He and some of his sons and de
scendants have been remarkable for their almost gigantic forms and strength. A
full account of him would make an interesting memoir. He was m, in Lunen
burg, Oct. 7, 1735, to ABIGAIL STEARNS (67, III.), by her brother, Rev. David
Stearns. She d. in Walpole, Nov. 8, 1757, and he m, Ap, 1758, wid. MARY
JENNISON [Jennison, 33], a sister of Ruth, the wife of Rev. David Stearns.
By his first wife he had 7 children, and by the second 5 children. He moved
from Lunenburg to Walpole about the time of his 2d marriage.

(V.) Col. JOSEPH BELLOWS, was a farmer, in Lunenburg, until 1786, when he
moved to Walpole. The prominent traits of his character were refined and ele
vated feelings; a deep religious sentiment; generosity in excess, and a warm
sympathy with the distressed. These dispositions, united with extreme nervous
sensibility, so involved him with every one that asked his assistance, that he suf
fered some pecuniary loss, which led to anxiety about the sufficient support of his
family, and induced a mental derangement, that continued during the last thirty
years of his life. He m, Oct. 3, 1764, LOUISA WHITNEY, of Lunenburg.

CHARLES STEARNS.
CHARLES STEARNS was adm. freeman, May 6, 1646. Mar. 15, 1647-8, he
purchased of Edward Lamb, of Wat, a house and 8 acres, and three other lots.
On the same day he purchased of John Fiske, 6 acres of upland. Isaac Stearns,
in his Will, dated June 14, 1671, mentions him as " my kinsman, Charles Sternes,"
and bequeathed him £10. Samuel Hosier also bequeathed to him £10 ; but with
out stating any relationship. Jan. 6, 1680-1, he was elected constable (tax-
gatherer), of Wat, but refused to take the oath; and the same year he sold his
land in Wat. to his son Samuel. It is supposed that soon after this he, with his
son Shubael, moved to that part of Lynn, called Lynn End, now the town of Lynn-
field. His first wife, HANNAH, d. in Wat. (bur. July 2). 1651. He m. (2d), June
22, 1654, REBECCA GIBSON, dr. of John and Rebecca Gibson, of Camb. The
births of their first two children are recorded in Camb, but she was a member of
the Wat. Church, Feb, 1658-9. [See Camb. Church Gathering, p. 59.]
The following extract from the Essex Registry of Probate, shows the number
and the names of his children, at least of those who lived to maturity, or to have
families : '¦' Sept. 9, 1695, Shubael Steams, of Lynn, petitions for letters of admin.
on the estate of his brother Charles, slain in the King's service. Balance of his
estate after settlement of debts (£4. 12. 10.) to be divided as follows — equally be

liam Shattuck, Sen, and William Shattuck, Jr., and his estate was settled by his
wid, Mehitabel, July, 1696. It appears, by the town records, June 16, 1694, that
he left his family so indigent, as to need some temporary aid from the Selectmen.
It is not known what became of the wid. and her two sons.

STONE.
\_William F. Stone, Esq., of Cambridge (whose friendly aid I have repeatedly
received in this work), has devoted much attention to the history and genealogy
of families of this name, in New England, and he has collected a large mass of
information. It is earnestly hoped that the results of his researches will soon be
offered to the public. It may show some errors and very many defects in the fol
lowing brief genealogy of Dea. Simon Stone.]
There were two early settlers of Wat of the name of Stone, from whom most of
the very numerous families of that name, in New England, are descended, viz.:
Simon, and his younger brother Gregory. The latter moved to Cambridge, pro
bably about 1637 or '8. His name is on the list of "townsmen then inhabiting"
Wat, to whom grants of land were made, Feb. 28, 1636-7. Sept. 30, 1639, Gre
gory Stone, " of Camb," sold to Nathaniel Sparhawk, agent of (Thomas) Boylston,
of London, cloth-worker, his house and ground in Wat, and 4 other lots of land in
Wat. [See Boylston.]
(W See I. Stearns, Appendix I.

Simon, aged 4 yrs, and son John, aged 5 weeks. He was adm. freeman, May
25, 1636; was Selectman, 1637— '56, seven years, and was a Deacon. ('His Will,
dated Sept. 7. proved Oct. 3, 1665, mentions his sons Simon and John ; his brother
Haywood ; dr. Frances, wife of Thomas Green ; dr. Mary ; gr. chil. Joanna and
Nathaniel Green; his brother Gregory [Dea. Gregory Stone, of Camb, 5 years
younger than himself] ; his kinsman John and Daniel Warner [(?) Warren], and
Thomas Wells. He does not mention his dr. Ann, who embarked with him.

There was a Dea. SIMON STONE, who settled in Groton as early as 1694, where
he has had numerous descendants. [See Butler, pp. 438 and 439.] His parentage
has not been ascertained; but there is not much doubt but that he was of the
Watertown stock, and that he was a son either of Simon, Jr. [6], or of Dea. John
[28], probably of the latter. On this presumption, the following genealogy of
his descendants is inserted. A more thorough investigation may lead to many
corrections and additions, as too much of the following is conjectural. He m.

went to Groton, or whose births are not recorded there.

the house which son John formerly lived in. Inventory, £174. His widow,
MARGARET, d. Dec 7, 1676, aged 81. His sons, Richard and John, were
probably the early settlers of East Hampton, L. 'I., 1649 [see Thompson's Hist.
of Long Island, pp. 182, and 185], but returned to Wat Perhaps the John
Stratton, of Salem, 1637, may have been the John, of East Hampton, and the
father of John. [18.] More research is necessary to dissipate this obscurity.

TARBALL (Tarbell, Tarbel).
THOMAS TARBALL, supposed to be the progenitor of all the families of that
name in New England, settled in Watertown as early as 1656, when he was
about 38 years old. By wife MARY, he had, 1. Elizabeth, b. Jan. 5, 1656-7.
2. William, b. Feb. 26, 1658-9. It is probable that he had at least two chil.
b. before he settled in Wat ; for Thomas Tarball, Sr, and Jr., were original pro
prietors of Groton, in 1662; and Abigail Tarball, supposed to be his dr., m, in
Wat, Sept. 30, 1672, Joshua Whitney. [Whitney, 49.] John Tarball, of Salem
Village, adm. freeman, Mar. 22, 1689-90, was perhaps another son.
Mar. 30, 1663, Thomas Tarball, and wife Mary, sold to Dea. Thomas Hast
ings, a dwelling house and about 30 acres of land in Wat. ; also, 4 acres of remote
meadow, in Camb. bounds. In the Inventory of John Flemming, in 1657. is
included a house, &c, appraised at £25, " bought of Thomas Tarball." About
the date of the above sale, he moved to Groton. He was one of the 4 persons
to whom 20 acres of land was granted by that town about 1665, for erecting a
mill, to be exempted from taxation 20 years, and no other to erect a mill, except
on his own land. [Butler, p. 36.] He probably retired from Groton to Charles
town, at the outbreak of King Philip's War. He ra. (2d), in Charlestown, Aug.
15, 1676, SUSANNA LAWRENCE, wid. of John L, Jr. He d. as early as the
beginning of 1681 ; for wid. Susanna Tarball was adm. to the church in Charles
town, Mar. 6, 1680-1, and she d. in Charlestown, Jan. 5, 1692. [See John Law
rence, Jr.]

(II.) THOMAS TARBALL, Jr., a proprietor of Groton, 1662 ; in, in Groton, June
30, 1666, ANNA (or Hannah)  . Anna, wife of Thomas Tarball, Jr., was
admitted to Charlestown church, Oct. 28, 1677. Admin, was granted to his widow
Anna, Dec. 18, 1678. The family had probably retired from Groton to Charles
town, on accounf of the Indian war. Chil. b. in Groton :

5. John, b. July 6, 1695. He and his brother Zachariah were captured by the
Indians, probably between 1704 and 1708, and carried to Canada. The fol
lowing " tradition is undoubtedly nearly correct" " One evening, a little after
sunsetting, the Indians came suddenly upon the inmates of a garrisoned
house, which stood where the Rev. Mr. Sanderson's house now stands, or near
that spot. They all escaped, and got safely into the garrison, except these boys
(J. and Z. Tarball), who being on a cherry tree, had not sufficient time to de
scend and save themselves from captivity. * * * Some years after, they
both came to Groton on a visit; but having become accustomed to savage
life, no persuasion prevailed with them to return and live with their friends and
relations. * * * Their descendants are still among the Indians in Canada."

THORNTON.

1688. There is no other notice of him in the records. Perhaps he was a son
of Rev. Thomas Thornton, of Yarmouth, and a brother of Timothy Thornton, a
merchant, of Boston. This point is left for others to elucidate.
(I.) Rev. THOMAS THORNTON, an ejected minister (mentioned by Farmer),
came to America after the restoration of Charles II, and settled in Yarmouth,
Mass. In advanced life he went to Boston, where his son Timothy resided,'
and he d. there, Feb. 15, 1700, aged 93. [See Yarmouth (Mass.) Register, for

(III.) EBENEZER THORNTON, was at first a trader in Boston in Co. with his
father, who withdrew from business in 1716. He afterwards, as early as 1738, set
tled in Watertown, near the Public Landing, where he was engaged in trade,
and in procuring timber for house and ship building. It is probable that he
was engaged in ship building, as in some legal instrument he was designated a
" shipwright." [See Richard King.] In Ap. 1716, he purchased "a mill-stream,
dams," &c, in Dunstable, near the line of New Hampshire. He was one of a
Committee (viz. Elisha Cook, Esq., Edward Hutchinson, Ebenezer Thornton,
Edward Winslow, and others), appointed by the town of Boston, to erect fortifi
cations, according to a vote of the town, passed Mar. 8, 1734. These fortifi
cations were known as North Battery Wharf, and Fort Hill. In Aug., 1739, he
purchased land in Wat. for £400. May 31, 1742, he purchased land in Wat. for
£600. Sept. 23, 1745, he purchased " a messuage, or tenement, situate in Wa
tertown, where said Ebenezer now dwells, containing a mansion house," 17 acres
of land, &c, for £800. These sums were probably Old Tenor.

to the Presidency, he was appointed U. S. Marshal for the District of Maine, and
he continued to hold the office under Madison and Monroe. " Soon after mar
riage, he became interested in commercial pursuits, in connexion with his father-
in-law, then and for a long time one of the most successful merchants of Maine.
About 1802, or 1803, in consequence of his commercial and official engagements,
he almost wholly relinquished medical practice. In cases of emergency or diffi
culty, however, his advice was sought and highly appreciated by his professional
brethren; nor did he disregard the claims of humanity amidst the variety of his
other pursuits." He was chiefly instrumental in founding the Academy at Saco,
and, in compliment to him, for his liberal donation to it, its corporate title was
changed to "Thornton Academy." He was President of the Saco Bank, and was

UPHAM,
(I.) JOHN UPHAM, probably the ancestor of all the families of that name in
New England, was adm. freeman, Sept. 2, 1635, then resident of Weymouth, and
is supposed to have come to America that year with the Rev. Joseph Hull.
and the other families who first settled that town. He was Rep.. of Weymouth in
1636, '37, '38, and '39; in 1642, was one of the Commissioners for treating with
the Indians in relation to lands in Weymouth; was Selectman of Wey, and, in
1644, '45, '46, and '47, was one of the Commissioners "to end small causes."
Between 1648 and 1650, he moved to Maiden, about which time that town was
granted and a church organized. In Maiden, he was a Selectman, a Commis
sioner for settling small causes, and was Deacon of the church more than 24 yrs
He m. (1st), ELIZABETH (? Webb), probably the mother of all his children. She
was living (signed a deed), Dec. 2, 1670, and must have died soon afterwards, as
he m. (2d), in Maiden, Aug, 1671,  HOLLIE. He d. in Maiden [grave
stone], Feb. 26, 1681-2, aged 84, showing that he was born 1597, or '98. The
births of his children are not recorded ; but the folio wi..g is believed to be a full
list of them, with the ages of some of them derived from various sources.
1. Mary, b. 1628; m. John Whittemore, and d. 1677, aged (?) 49.
2. Elizabeth, b. 1630; m. Thomas Welsh, and d. Jan. 12, 1705, aged 75.

zabeth Steadman, and he d. the same month, Mar. 20, 1661-2. In 1670, his

He had an adopted child, named John Upham, adopted June 19, 1660, then aged
12 years, "a fatherless and friendless child," brought from Barbadoes about 8
years before. He d. in Charlestown (? of small-pox), Nov. 25, 1677, aged 30,
bequeathing his musket to " young Phineas Upham," and the rest of his estate
to Elizabeth Mousal, his espoused wife.
* Dr. A. G. Upham, supposes that the first John Upham had a son, Nathan, bemuse a Nathan Up
ham was, as he says, adm. freeman, 1655. But upon referring to the Geneal. Reg., Vol. HI., p. 194,
note, it seems very probable that Nathan is there an abbreviation of Nathaniel, and that it is a dupli
cate record.

WHITNEY.
Families of the name of Whitney are very numerous, not only in every State
in New England, but in many other parts of the United States. There is scarcely
a single large town, where they may not be found, and it is probable that most
if not all of them are descendants of John and Elinor Whitney, of Watertown.*
A concert of action among the many intelligent, well-educated persons of this
name, might produce a very copious and interesting family memorial. The fol
lowing is offered as a contribution towards such an undertaking.

Embarked at Ipswich, Eng. Ap„ 1635, for New England, in the Elizabeth and
Ann, Roger Cooper, master, JOHN WHITNEY, aged 35 ; wife ELLIN (Elinor),
aged 30; sons John, aged 11; Richard, aged 9; Nathaniel, aged 8; Thomas,
aged 6; and Jonathan, aged 1 year. He was admitted freeman, Mar. 3, 1635-6;
was Selectman several years between 1638 and 1655 inclusive, and was Town
Clerk, 1655. In 1642, his homestall lot of 16 acres (where he continued to reside),
was bounded E. and S. by William Jennison ; W. by Martin Underwood; N. by
Isaac Mixer. [See 60.] He at the same time owned 8 other lots, amounting to
212 acres. The Registry of Deeds shows that he made additions to these posses
sions. His early admission as a freeman, and his early election as Selectman,
show that he held a respectable social position. His wife, Elinor, d. May 11,
1659, and he m. (2d), Sept. 29, 1659, JUDAH (Judith) CLEMENT. He died a
widower, June 1, 1673, aged 74. His Will, dated Ap. 3, 1673, attested by Wil
liam Bond, Sr, and Sarah Bond, Sr, mentions sons John, Richard, Thomas, Jona
than, Joshua, and Benjamin. Inventory, dated June 4, 1673, 50 acres dividend
land, £25; 3 acres of Beaver Brook meadow, and li acre upland, £60; 1 acre
plain meadow, £10. He had probably previously
distributed much of his estate in the settlement of Ct L /\A C" f Cu*
his sons. See his son Benjamin. [60.] _^-efV^. VU^ily^^J

4. Thomas, b. in Eng, 1629.

* Henry Whitney settled in Norwalk, Conn., as early as 1665. Whether he was related to the Wa
tertown family, has not been ascertained; but probably he was not a son, nov a grandson of John and
Elinor. At a town meeting in Norwalk, July 24, 1655, Henry Whitney agreed and engaged with the
town to make, bnild, and erect a good and sufficient ground corn mill, at ihe mouth of Norwalk River,
by the Falls. At the same meeting, the town voted and granted him a house lot, consisting of 2 acres,
to be laid out upon the Mill Plain, upon the right hand of the path leading-down to the Old Mill, being
over the Runlett, two or three rods from the said Runlett, and also from the cartway. [See Hall's His
tory of Norwalk, pp. 51 and 52.] There is no evidence in the History of Norwalk, that he had any-
family ; but it is probable that it was his, son, John Whitney, who m., in Norwalk, Mar. 17, 1674-5, Eli
zabeth, dr. of Richard Smith, and who inherited the mill ; for, at a town meeting, held May 29, 1678, "it
was voted and agreed on between the town and the milier, John Whitney," &c. Families of this
name have continued to reside in Norwalk to a recent date, if not to the present time. For some ac
count of them, see the Genealogical Register in Rev. Edwin Hall's History of that town.

WHITNEY.

(II.) BENJAMIN WHITNEY. It appears by the Registry of Deeds, Vol. Ill,
p. 451-2, that he first settled in York, Me, and in 1668, his father desired him to
leave York, and settle with him on the homestead during his lifetime, promising
him his house, and barn, and all his land about home (about 17 acres, bounded
N. by John Sherman ; E. and S. by William Bond ; W. by Martin Underwood),
which promise he confirmed by a deed, dated Ap. 5, 1670. Mar. 9, 1670-1, Ben
jamin and wife Jane, with the consent of his father, sells to his brother Joshua, for
£40, his right in his father's homestead, obtained as above stated. He probably
moved to Sherburne soon after the above sale. He m. (probably in York), JANE
 , who d. ill Sherburne, Nov. 14, 1690. [See Barry, p. 437.] Only the births
of 2 chil. are recorded, one of whom was born in Watertown. It is probable
that he had other children born in York, or Sherburne, and perhaps Benjamin, of
Fram, was his eldest child.

and son John, aged 13 years.

(I.) RICHARD WOODWARD, was adm. freeman, Sept. 2, 1635, and his name
is on the earliest list of proprietors of Watertown. His wife, ROSE, d. Oct. 6,
1662, aged 80, and he soon after m. (marriage settlement dated Ap. 18, 1663),
ANN GATES, b. 1603, widow of Stephen Gates, of Cambridge. In 1642, his

by highway ; E. by Edward How, and his own land ; N. by Richard Benjamin;
S. by Edmund Blois. Also, 12 other lots, amounting to about 310 acres. Sept

afterwards settled. He d. May 31, 1676, and admin, granted June 20, 1676, to

estate; adm. freeman, Oct. 10, 1677. He d. in Camb, Oct. 9, 1679, "aged
38," probably should be 33. He was witness in Court, Ap, 1668, then aged 23,
and said to be " of Flint's Farm Camb." It appears by his Will, dated Oct. 9,
1679, that he left neither wife nor child. It was probably his wife SARAH, dr.
of William Patten, of Camb, who d. in Camb, Sept. 24, 1677. He gave his
right and title to the house and land in Wat, " which was our father Wood
ward's," to brother Daniel Woodward ; gave his house to brother [? Thomas]

Dorcas, b. in Newton, Feb. 11, 1719; and Anna. Aaron was father of

wards m. (? Isaiah) Whitney, of Camb, and in 1715, resided in Lexington.
N.B. It appears that George Woodward, Sr, had a dr. Sarah by each wife, and
that both these drs. were living at the same time.

(II.) JOHN WOODW'ARD (son of Richard, 1), lived successively in Wat, Sud,
Charlestown, Cambridge, Sud, and Wat. He was reputed to be an atheist until
advanced age, when he embraced Christianity, and was admitted to the church

were presented. He d. Oct. 5, 1782, after a ministry of 31 yrs. and 1 day. " He
died greatly beloved and lamented by the people of his charge, by his brethren
in office, and by an extensive circle of acquaintance. His memory is yet dear
to many of this society. He was a serious, sensible, practical, preacher, rarely
entering upon controversial points, but always striving to mend the heart and
life. Extremes he carefully avoided, while he preached Christ, and him cruci
fied, and adopted the evangelical style in his discourses. He was cheerful and
facetious without lessening his dignity as a minister, or Christian. No man
could more happily blend the cheerful with the grave in conversation, and yet
preserve their exact bounds. His company was sought and admired by all
classes, old and young, serious and gay; and he discovered a disposition to
please and improve all; and with a peculiar air of pleasantry, he could give
perfect ease and satisfaction to the most mixed circles ; while at the same time,
with no less singular air of gravity, he could set bounds to any propensity to
overleap the bounds of decorum or Christian sobriety. He delighted to see all
happy, and, so far as it depended on him, to make them so. But in his most
pleasant and free intercourse with his
people and friends, he took care not /? n
to lose sight of the great object of ^y *-¦/*
his ministry, the moral improvement Kfs e&yf
of men, their ultimate happiness, and
the glory of his and their God." [Dr. Kendall's Centennial Discourse, Jan. 12,

ADAMS. — It is not improbable that George Adams, of Watertown, was a nephew of
Henry Adams, of Braintree, and a brother of John Adams, of Cambridge [See
Geneal. Reg. VII., p. 40. And see Camb. Church Gathering, p. 62], George Adams,
with wife and 5 children, were living in Wat. in Jan. 1660-1, in indigence.

Beers] for £36, sold to William Bond, William Shattuck, and Nathaniel Bright (trus
tees for the purchase of lands for Rev. Mr. Gibbs) 14i acres of pasture, bounded N.
by other pasture of Judith Allen ; E. by David Stone and Benjamin Chadwick ; S. by
Bank Lane ; W. by William Bond. Also, 3i A., bounded N. by highways; E. by B.
Chadwick ; S. by B. Chadwick : W. by Rd. Beers.
Henry Allen and family moved from Boston to Wat. in July 1722, and dwelt in a house
of Jabez Beers. He (H. A.) was probably a grandson of Captain Beers.
[10.1 Jemima, second wife of Obadiah Allen, was wid. of Isaac Tomlin, Jr., of West-
boio who d. May 19, 1739, and eldest child of Supply and Susannah (Barnes) Weeks,

of Marlboro, b. 1701. She m. (1st.) May 19, 1730, Isaac Tomlin. Both of her mar
riages, and the death of her first husband, occurred on the 19th of May.

[50.] Mr. L. R. Page says, " Dea. Joseph Allen, who d. in Hardwick, Aug. 1793, aged
84 (b. 1709) belongs to this family. He was said to have been born m Weston, and
his mother d. when he was very young." His place in the order of births is between
Rebecca and the twins, Elizabeth and Ann, who were bap. when a week old. He is
supposed to be the 'Joseph Allen, who m., in Westboro, Feb. 9, 1732-3, Mary, (f Mercy)
Livermore, " both of Hassanamisco" (Grafton), and settled in Hardwick, where she
d. Mar. 1, 1789, in her 77th year [gravestone], and he d. Aug. 18, 1793, eet. 85. In
the Hardwick Records, her name is Mercy. [Livermore, 60.]

[60.] Nathaniel Allen d. before Nov. 16, 1762, leaving wid. Elizabeth and drs. Betty
and Tamar, of whom Samuel, Stratton was guardian.
p. 7. [81 J.] Ebenezer Allen, being under bodily infirmity, cannot keep his father, Lewis,
as he hath for 3 years past, and he is committed to his son Abel, with the aid of the
town. [Town Records, Jan. 10, 1706-7.]
[98.] George Allen, with wife Hannah, and son Samuel (living at Josiah Priest's), came
from Medford in 1758, and were warned (against settlement). He, with wife Hannah
and 2 children, moved from Waltham to Wat. in 1762.
ALLIRE. — Wid. Allire [? Allen] signed a protest respecting the meeting-house in
May, 1694.
p. 8. AMBLER. — It is probable that this family moved from Wat. to Cambridge, and
afterwards to Stamford, Conn. [See Hinman, pp. 48-9.] Abraham and Richard
Ambler, of Stamford, were proposed for freemen, Oct. 14, 1669. Abraham was
deputy in May, 1674.
ANDERSON. — Jan. 22, 1713-14, John Anderson and wife Rebecca, had
leave of the town to build and settle on 10 acres of land in Newton, bought of
Nathaniel Sanger, bounded W. by Major Gookin, N. by Isaac Williams, E.
by Richard Eccles, and S. by highway. At a meeting of the selectmen, Nov.
18, 1714, Nathaniel Bowman was requested to take John Anderson and family.
About July 1, 1731, Mary, wife of John Anderson of Groton, left her husband and
came to Wat. She probably returned, as John and his wife Mary came from Groton
ab. 1734, to the West Precinct (Waltham), lived in John Smith's house; "caution"
was entered against their settlement.

William Anderson was on a coroner's jury in Wat., July 26, 1669.
ANDREWS.— Daniel Andrews was a proprietor of Wat. 1677, and May 13, 1681,
Daniel Andrews, bricklayer, of Salem, for £35, sold to Jonathan Sanders [Sanderson]
35 acres, lying between Samuel Thatcher and Samuel Daniels. Feb. 7, 1681-2, he
sold to Richard Norcross three parcels of land in Pound Field, in Watertown. This
Daniel Andrews of Salem was probably a son of Thomas and Rebecca, first of Wat.,
and afterwards of Cambridge. Samuel Andrews was wit. to two or more deeds in
Wat. in 1685. In May, 1683, a general survey of Worcester was made by Samuel
Andrews of Watertown. [Hist, of Worcester, p. 31.] Was he a brother of Daniel?
ANG-IER. — Rev. Samuel Angier m. Sept. 2, 1680. [3.] For Edward, read Ed.
mund. [5.] For Uriah, read Urian. [6.] For 1727, read 1717. Chil. of Rev. S
A. 2. Hannah, b. 1682; 3. Ruth, b. 1684; 4. Edmund, b. 1685; 5. Samuel, Sept
1687, d. in Camb. Mar. 6, 1721-2 ; 6. Urian, &c. According to Judge Mitchell [Hist.
of Bridgewater, pp. 105 & 6], he had a second daughter Ruth, b. in Wat, 1705, who
m. (about 1735) Rev. John Shaw of South Bridgewater. This must be a mistake.
In the first place, according to the church and town records, he had no daughter Ruth
born in Watertown. It was Sarah, who was b. and bap. in Wat., Aug. 1705. In the
next place, his dr. Ruth was one of the executors of his Will, when that supposed
second dr. Ruth, could have been only 13 years old.
Nov. 18, 1714. The selectmen of Wat. appointed Urian Angier, schoolmaster, "if he
be found qualified." He was a physician, and on the 22 Feb., 1719-20, the select-

men voted him 17 s. for attending Nicholas Wyeth. In the m. of Ephraim A., for
1727, read 1717. In the m. of Oakes A., for 1703-4, read 1730-1. Eunice d. in

garet M'Carty, and had son William. Soon after his graduation, the selectmen, on
Nov. 22, 1701, agreed with Ames Angier to keep school for £30, those that send to
school to furnish $ cord of wood. [For an account of the family of Rev. John Angier
of E. Bridgewater (son of Rev. Samuel, of Wat.), see Mitchell, p. 106]
p. 9. APPLIN. — Ap. 3, 1687. John Applin and wife Bathshua of Wat., sold to
John Dix, 10 A. of land, with house and barn, bounded E. by Henry Spring; S. and
W. by highway; N. by John Dix. [7.] For Ap. 7, 1687, read 1688.
p. 10. BACHELOR.— John Bachelor was selectman of Wat, 1636. The lot he
sold to Jere. Norcross, was sold by Richard and Jere. Jr., for' £20, to Thomas Ham
mond; bounded E. by Robert Tuck, N. and S. by divided lines. One of the lots
of Jer. Norcross was bought of Robert Batchelor.
BACON. — First line, for David, read Daniel. Jan. 20, 1678. Daniel Bacon, of
Salem, ship-carpenter, for £20, 6old to his brother Isaac Bacon of Camb., tailor, 5J
acres in Camb. or Wat, on south side of Charles River, had by deed of father,
Daniel Bacon ; bounded W. by highway ; E. by Wm. Clemence ; N. by Jacob Bacon ;
S. by Isaac Bacon. July 20, 1681. Susanna, wife of Daniel Bacon, Jr. " rendered up
her claim of thirds." Mar. 13, 1692-3, Jacob Bacon and wife Elizabeth, living in the
bounds of Watertown, for £39, sold to John Barton, of Boston, 7 acres in Wat,
bounded E. by Wm. Clement ; N. and S. by Ephraim Wheeler ; N. by Charles River ;
W. by highway. The name of John Bacon often occurs in the town records about
1693 to 97. Aug. 15, 1699, money was voted for "John Baken, a distracted man."
[See Jackson, p. 234.]
BAILEY. — Rev. John Bailey was assistant at Old South, in Boston, before his settle
ment in Wat., and he preached his farewell sermon there July 25, 1686. "July 26
[1686], a considerable troop from Watertown come and fetch Mr. Bailey; some of
ours also accompany them." [Sewall's Diary.] I have found no record of a second
marriage of Rev. John Bailey; but it is said [Farmer and Mendon Asso. p. 177], that
Rev. Peter Thatcher, of Milton, m. for his second wife, the wid. of Rev. John Bailey.
The name of the wife of Rev. Thomas Bailey was Rebecca. She m. (2d) in Boston,
Ap. 26, 1694, William Brown, Jr., Esq. of Salem. [See Farmer.] John Denton, in
his Journal of a Visit to N. England, in the winter of 1685-6, says, "I went to visit
Mr. John and Mr. Thomas Bailey [in Boston], These two popular preachers are
very generous to strangers; I heard Mr. John upon these words: ' Looking to Jesus,'
and I thought he spoke like an angel. They express a more than ordinary kindness
to Mr. Wilkins, my landlord, and (being persecuted in Limerick for their nonconfor
mity) came over with him from Ireland."
___F" For much information respecting the life, the talents, character, and eminent Chris
tian virtues of the saintly John Bailey, see Francis, pp. 50-58 ; also Cotton Mather's
sermon, on the day of his funeral, Magnalia, Book III., Part II., Chap, vii., which is
one of Mather's "best things."
Oct. 1, 1754. A certificate was presented to the selectmen, that James Bailey, then of
Watertown, had been a member of Christ Church, in Boston, since 1731, where his
dr. Elizabeth was bap. Oct. 10, 1731. "Elizabeth, wife of James Bailey, buried in
Watertown, Oct. 14, 1754." [Records of Christ Church, Boston.] Mar. 11, 1755.
Constant, a slave of James Bailey, of Wat., was fined for horse-stealing.
Mr. Bailey's negro man d. March 1751, and 2 negro children, belonging to him d. in 1749.

[15.] Robert Baldwin of Waltham, b. July 15, 1775, was a posthumous son of Isaac
Baldwin, who was killed in the battle of Bunker Hill. James Francis, his 4th child,
was b. June 28, not 18.

676 BALL. — BARNARD. — BARRON.
BALL. — [3.] The records and files of the County Court, in reference to Mrs. Eliza
beth Ball, furnish a striking illustration of the ignorance and ill treatment of cases
of mania at that period. John and Elizabeth Ball had a dr. Sarah, b. 1655, living in
1657. By a deed of John Ball, dated Mar. 6, 1660-1, it appears that he then had
only three children living. One of them was John, another was Mary, whose history
was a sad one. It has not been ascertained whether the other child, then living, was
Hester or Sarah, or what became of her.
[4.] It is ascertained that this Sarah Bullard was a dr. of George Bullard.
[12.] John Ball, m. (2d) 1730, Mary Clark. [12.]
p. 12. [15.] Mar. 36, 1706, James Ball, of Wat, and wife Elizabeth, for £6, sold to
Scipio Finney, negro, 12 acres, bounded N. by Allen Flagg; S. and E. by Chester
Meadow; W. by Jonathan Sanders.

[3.] Samuel Barnard, d. Sept. 8, 1683.
[4-4 ] Samuel Goffe, m. in Camb. 21,9, 1682. [Geneal. Reg. vii. p. 58.]
[5.] In 1722, Sarah Barnard, then of Andover, wid. of James Barnard, of Sud., gave
bonds as administratrix. It is probable that she was a 2d wife, and from Andover.
[6.] Mary Barnard was the 2d wife of Wm. Barrett, of Camb., who lived near the College.
[3 & 7.] Samuel Barnard and Joseph Barnard, then of Hadley, took the oath of fidelity,
Feb. 8, 1678. It is probable that these were sons of John Barnard, of Waterton, but
this remains to be ascertained. In 1683, Joseph Barnard was a leading man in Deer
field, Mass. In 1714, William Brown, of Lancaster, sold land in L. to Samuel Bar
nard, of Hadley.

frequently written Barnes.

remained, until he sold his house and land to his son Timothy, and then (about 1706

children. 1. Annable, b. May 31, 1670. 2. Mary, b. Feb. 26, 1671-2.

and 90.
p. 18. BARSTOW. — This orthography of this name has been adopted here, because
it has become the almost universal usage. But there is very little doubt that Bair
stow is the correct one. This is the orthography very generally used in the Water-
town Records, and most frequently in the early Colonial Records, where it is also
written Bayrstow. We have the autograph of Michael, the eldest of the four brothers,
who came to America, and he always wrote it Bairstow. In his Will and Inventory
on record, the Register of probate has written it Barstow, while in the original Inven
tory, which is on file, it is Bairstow.; and it is probable that the Register .took the
same liberty to alter the name in recording the Will. It is also Bairstow in the Will of
his wife's sister, Susanna Halstead. The social position, the respectable and important
public appointments bestowed upon Michael Bairstow, imply that he was a man of
so much intelligence, that in this matter we may recur to his practice as pretty good
authority. This orthography is the one, and the only one, found in Burke's Encyclo
paedia of Heraldry, and the following is the coat of arms belonging to it. " Bairstow.
Erm. on a fesse betw. two cotisses sa. three crescents ar. Crest, out of a crescent a
demi eagle displ." In Barry's History of Hanover, p. 208, is another coat of arms,
with a variation in the name and escutcheon, and a different crest, which is as fol
lows. " Barstow, Naburn Hall, York. Ermine on a fesse sable, three crescents or.
Crest, a horse's head, couped ar." It is probable that the former is the most ancient,
and that it is the one, if either, that belongs to the families of this name in New Eng
land, and that the latter, more recent, has been granted or assumed, since the Barstows
came to New England.
There is no doubt but that Michael Barstow, of Wat, was the eldest of the four
brothers that early came to this country. Michael Barstow, son of Matthew Barstow,
of Shelf, a parish of Halifax, Co. York, was bap. Nov. 17, 1600, and m. Feb. 16,
1624-5, Grace Halstead. It is not known when he arrived, but he was a lot-holder in
Charlestown in 1635, and he and his wife were admitted to Charlestown Church, Dec.
5, 1635. (Miles Bastow and Marcia,* his wife.) It is not ascertained at what time
* This seems to imply thai he had two wives, 1, "Marcia" (Mercy), 2, Grace. But there are instances on re
cord where the names Mercy and Grace were used the one for the other. This was undoubtedly the case here, as
appears by his marriage in England. Susanna Halstead, who was a sister of Grace, wife of Michael Bairstow

he moved from Charlestown to Watertown ; but it must have been between July, 1 636,
when his name was not on the list of those who received allotments of Beaver Brook
Plowland, and 1642, when he owned a large homestall and 6 other lots of land. He
sold his house in Charlestown to James Browne, which he (J. B.) sold to Abraham
Hawkins, Nov. 20, 1643. By his Will, dated June 23, 1674, he gave his " farm [100
acres farmland, not his homestead] to my pastor, John Sherman;" to the church in Wat,
_£16 ; to Hannah Barstow, alias Prince, 1 bible, and the debt due by her first husband,
William Barstow; to Elizabeth, wife of William Randall, of Scituate, £5; to Susan, wife
of Wm. Perry, of Medfield, £5 ; to Michael, son of John Barstow, d., my upland and
meadow, near house of John Traine; also, my lot at Bear Hill ^ to John and Jeremiah
(also) sons of John Barstow, d., each £15; to Dea. Thomas Hastings (exr.) £10; to Dea.
Henry Bright (exr.) 40s. The residue to be divided into 10 parts; 2 parts to chil. of
brother George, d., and 8 parts to chil. of brother William, deceased. Elizabeth Ran
dall, and Susan Perry, named in the Will, are supposed to be his sisters, but are not
mentioned as such. [See Shattuck 15, Part II.] He did not die May 23, 1674, but
probably in Ap. or May, 1676, a short time before the date of his Inventory.
William and George Barstow (Beresto) embarked for N. England in the autumn of
1635, without wives, aged respectively 23 and 21 years. It is not known when John
Barstow arrived ; but according to his age, given at the coroner's inquest, he was born
about 1625, showing him to have been at least ten years younger than either of the
other brothers.

water, youngest son of Rev. Samuel Angier. of Wat.
N.B. It appears by the will of Michael Bairstow, of Wat., that 8 shares of his residuary
estate were given to the chil. of his brother William, implying either that there was
one child whose name has not been ascertained, or that a double share was in
tended for the eldest son, which, however, does not appear in the will.

Hibbin's farm." He had 3 children.
was admitted to Charlestown Church only 14 days after Michael and his wife. It is probable that she (S. H.)
came over with her sister, and lived and died with her, unmarried.

BENJAMIN. — May 20, 1633. Mr. John Benjamin was chosen constable of New
Town [Camb.] by the General Court. Nov. 7, 1634, he was exempted from training
on account of age and infirmity, but was required to have, at all times, arms for him
self and servants. He was of New Town, in Oct. 1636, and there was a mistake in
saying that his house was burned in Watertown. It is conjectured that he purchased
several homestalls in Watertown, of those who migrated to Wethersfield. N.B. The

Jotham Bemis, Jr., and wife Tryphema, from Connecticut, settled early in Saratoga, Saratoga County, N. Y.,
on the margin of Hudson River, and on the road leading from Albany to Skenesborough (now Whitehall).
He kept a public house, which was the only one of note between those two places. The high ground, rising
in the rear, or on the west side of his house, and known as Bemis Heights, has acquired an historical celebrity,
as the place where the battle was fought, which resulted in the capture of Gen. Burgoyne and his army.
Gen. Gates occupied the house of Mr. Bemis, as his headquarters, until after the battle of Sept. 19, 1777,
when it was occupied by Gen. Lincoln, and Gen. Gates removed his headquarters to the house of Captain
Ephraim Woodworth, on the Heights.

BIGELOW. — [1.] John Bigelow, Senr., was b. in 1617, according to his age, given
as a witness in Court. His Will, dated Jan. 4, 1702, 3, mentions his wife (not
named), sons John ("the eldest"), Jonathan, Daniel, Samuel, Joshua; drs. Mary
Flagg, Elizabeth Sternes ; . chil. of dr.. Sarah Larned, drs. Abigail Harrington and

Obadiah Wood. Also a charge, 2s., for a man and horse to notify John Stearns, at
Billerica to attend the funeral. Also, 3s. for a man and horse to Sherburne to notify
Isaac Larned and wife to attend the funeral.
[10.] As there is no reference to a son James, or his family in the father's Will, it
might raise a doubt whether John had such a son ; but the record of his marriage, by
Rev. Mr. Bailey, must remove all doubt. " Upon the 25 March, 1687, at my own
house, in Watertown, I married James Begalow, the son of John Begalow, and
Patience Brown, the daughter of Jona. Brown, with their parents' full consent, being
legally published," &c.

p. 42. BISCOE.— (Brisco.) [1.] Mr. Nathaniel Biscoe was Selectman, 1648 and 50.
It is probable that he was a Baptist, agreeing in sentiment with Dr. John Clarke, with
whom he was associated in England. His letter to Mr. Thomas Broughton, of Bos
ton, his son-in-law, shows that he was an acute observer, a clear, independent
thinker, and a terse, vigorous writer ; and it is easy to conceive that such a writer,
attacking the politico-ecclesiastical policy of Massachusetts Bay, would make a
very sensible impression. In encountering such a disputant, it was very discreet for

684 biscoe.
Hubbard to conclude, fuste potius erudiendus quam argumento. [See Hubbard's
History, chap, xlviii.] The 47 acres of land which he purchased of the town and
sold to John Wincol, about the time of his return to England, was bounded N. by
Thomas Straight, common land, Beaver Brook, and land of John Whitney, E. by
highway to Concord [now Lexington Street], S. by Isaac Sternes, Bartholomew Pier-
son, George Bullard, and Anthony Pierce, W. by highway, N.W. by John Warren.
The Inventory of his son, John, renders it probable that this land was returned or re
verted to him, and the probability is strengthened by the circumstance, that this lot
is not, as I think, mentioned in any of the several sales made by Capt. Wincol, about
the time he moved to Kittery. This lot seems to coincide, in part, with the land which
Andrew White and Nathaniel Stearns bought, in 1713. of Elisha Cooke, of Boston.
[See White, 5.] Notwithstanding the disparaging tone of Winthrop's Journal, re
specting " one Briscoe," it is evident from the records, that his townsmen entertained
a high opinion of his capacity and integrity. On important committees, "Mr. Bris
coe" was generally placed at the head. Sept. 8, 1647, for £7 16s., he bought land in
Boston (mortgage) of Angel Holland, shoemaker, of Boston. [See Geneal. Reg. iv.
319.]
[2.] It is conjectured that Nathaniel Brisco, Jr., soon after his difficulty with Nathaniel
Eaton, the first principal of Harvard College, went first to Wethersfield, and very soon
proceeded to Milford, Connecticut, where other Watertown emigrants settled, where
his name is on the first list of free planters, Nov. 20, 1639, and where he was ad
mitted to the Church, Ap. 20, 1644. The records show, that he had a share in the
business of the town, and that he was a proprietor of several lots or tracts of land. It
is probable that in the autumn of 1651, he came to Watertown to take leave of his
father, then about to return to England. We may infer from the letter of his father to
Mr. Broughton (Sept. 7, 1652), that he had settled at a considerable distance from Mr.
Broughton, then of Boston. No record of his marriage, nor of the birth of his chil
dren, has been discovered, but it is supposed that he had two children, Nathaniel and
James. He d. in 1683.

.91. BOYLSTON.— [1.] For 1668, read Feb. 21, 1668-9.
It is evident, from the County Records, that Thomas Boylston, of Wat, was not a very
exemplary husband or Christian, and that his friends in England had not full confidence
in his prudence and discretion; as an agent was employed to purchase an estate for
him in Watertown. It is not improbable that he had been a gay young gentleman
of London, whose habits were not formed after the puritanical model, and, not being
a member of the church, he was never admitted freeman.
Ap. 1650. Suit. Thomas Boylston vs. Thomas Pratt, for withholding money sent him by
his uncle. John Sawin testified that in 1648, he spoke with the old man (the uncle),
and he said he had assigned his house and lands in New England to him, Thomas
Pratt [in trust] for young Boylston [" Boidson"] and his children. Nonsuited.

and Thomas Boylston, my brother-in-law," the house in Charlestown, " where I now
dwell ;" the land and out-houses, and furniture, and all my lands, rights, and interest
in Watertown ; In trust, for behoof of Sarah Boylston, my wife and children, that I
have by her. In consideration, they agree to pay his wife £20, and to discharge a
debt he (T. S.) owes John Richards, a merchant of Boston. July 1, 1679, Thomas
Smith, and wife Sarah, for £29, sold 10 acres of land in Wat, to Samuel and Joseph
Allen. Chil.,

E.P For the information respecting the family and descendants of Dr. Thomas Boylston,
Jr., of Muddy River, on page 91, we were indebted almost exclusively to the re
searches of Mr. Thomas B. Wyman, Jr. Since the printing of that page, he has made
some corrections, and added greatly to the amount of that information, which he has
published in the Geneal. Reg. vii. pp. 145-150. The Genealogy, is still far from
being complete, and the compiler desires those who are interested in the subject, and
are critical in such matters, to communicate corrections and additions, to Mr. John Hunt,
Boston. To aid in this undertaking, and to give a more full and satisfactory view of
that luxuriant branch of the -old Watertown stock, we here insert in a condensed
form, so much of that article in the Register, as seems to be clearly ascertained.]

Since the Bright pedigree, on pages 98 and 99, was printed (in Sept. 1852), Mr.
Somerby has been prosecuting his antiquarian and genealogical researches in England,
and he has obtained much additional information respecting the early history of that
family. Besides a few corrections, the additions are so great, that it is deemed advisable
to reprint the pedigree, corrected and enlarged; and to append to it, in the form of notes,
most of the information recently obtained. For the materials of this information, we are
chiefly indebted to the personal researches of Mr. Somerby, and for the condensation and
arrangement of them in the following pages, we are much indebted to Mr. Jonathan
B. Bright, of Waltham, whose enlightened liberality has furnished the means for prosecut
ing these elaborate investigations.
That the Bright family of Suffolk, was one of high respectability among the gentry of
that county, is evident from their many alliances by marriage, with persons of honourable
houses. Although their lineage has been traced back no farther than to Walter Bright, of
Bury St. Edmunds, yet there are reasons for believing the family to have been related to
the Brights who flourished in the county of Kent, at a much earlier period. Catherine
Bright, of Royton, in that county, who married Robert Waters, a gentleman of large
estates, was the mother of Mary Waters, who afterwards became the celebrated Mrs.
Honeywood, wife of Robert Honeywood, of Mark's Hall, in Essex. In 1709, her portrait
was bequeathed by Thomas Bright, of Bury St. Edmunds, to his cousin Fisher; who, he
says, was related to the Honeywoods. Some families of the name pf Bright flourished
in Essex and Norfolk, from a very early period, and as these counties adjoin Suffolk, it is
quite probable that they were of the same original stock. The Suffolk family of Bright,
in the male line, is believed to be extinct in England.
Henry Bright, the Anglo-American ancestor of the family embraced in this volume,
was evidently the only one of the Suffolk family, that came to New England. It has
already been shown (page 96), that he must have come over as early as 1630, as in that
year he became a member of the first church of Boston, which was organized in Charles
town. As his name does not afterwards occur in the Boston Records, nor among those
who remained in Charlestown, after the great removal thence to Boston, it is presumed
that he went very early to Watertown, perhaps in 1630, although not with the very first
settlers. His descendants, in the male line, have continued to reside in Watertown, and
its vicinity, to the present time. They have never been numerous; but the pages of this
volume show that those in the female branches, who trace their lineage to him, are very
numerous. Others of the name of Bright, came early to New England; but there are no reasons,
derived from American records or traditions, for supposing that any of them were related
to Deacon Henry Bright of Watertown ; and the result of the extensive investigations in
England, seems to prove clearly that they were not Two of these were of Watertown,
vizf: Henry Bright, " Sen." [see page 96], and Thomas Bright, who purchased the house

BRIGHT. 707
and homestall lot of Lieut. Robert Feake, and sold it, Dec. 17, 1640, for £60, to Col. Wil
liam Rainborow. It is probable, that this Thomas Bright went to Hampton, about the
time he sold his house and land in Watertown. Nothing is known of the origin or the
date of the arrival of either of them. [May not this Thomas, be the Thomas Brighton,
who embarked in the Truelove, for New England, in Sept., 1635, then aged 31 ?] Rev.
Francis Bright, son of Edward Bright, of London, came over in 1629, in company with
Mr. Higginson, settled in Charlestown, and returned to England the next year. [See
Frothingham's Hist, of Charlestown, p. 25.] Samuel Bright, servant of John Sweet, was
adm. f. c, first church in Boston, Sept., 1644, and was adm. freeman, May, 1645. The
name Bright appears in Salem, in 1636, and in Hampton, in 1640, but it is not known
what became of those bearing it. The name occurs frequently in Boston in the last cen
tury, as early as 1724, in church records; also in Dedham. Most of those in the United
States,_ out of New England, are supposed to be descended from early settlers of this
name in Pennsylvania.

NOTES TO THE PEDIOEEE ON" PAGES 708-9.
Note 1. (I. Generation.) — John Bright, of the Parish of St. Mary, Bury St. Edmunds,
in the County of Suffolk, maltster, was living in the time of Henry VIII., when he held
lands of the Abbot of that place, and may have been the father of Walter, Roger, and
Margaret Bright. This is the only one of the pedigree not provable by Wills and parish
registers. The register of the Parish of St. Mary, although it begins as soon as any in
England, 1538, is not sufficiently old to contain the baptisms of those first named in the
pedigree. No Will of this John Bright has been discovered. John Bryghte was wit
ness to the Will of Anne Buckenham, of Bury St. Edmunds, May 20, 1539. He was
buried June 26, 1545. This is the earliest Bright yet ascertained as residing in Bury St.
Edmunds, from which circumstance it may be inferred, he was originally of another
town or county. The name is common in the adjoining counties of Essex and Norfolk.
It is, therefore, possible that the Brights of these three counties, were originally from the
same stock. At this time, there is but one person of the name living in the County of
Suffolk, and he, a descendant of a family of Shropshire, whose ancestor settled in this
county, in the last century.
Note 2. (II. Gen.)— Walter Bright, of the Parish of St. Mary, Bury St. Edmunds,
mercer, was a man of wealth and consideration in that place. He owned a house in
College Street. He was one of fifty-two parishioners of St. Mary's, who, in 1546,
authorized the churchwardens, of whom John Bright was one, to sell the church plate,
for the repairs of the church. His Will, dated October 28, 1550, proved in the Preroga
tive Court, in London, Feb. 6, 1551, provides for his wife Margaret, she to have his dwell
ing-house in College Street for one year, and all the property she brought with her. His
son, John, " to have a harness for a man, with half a sheaf of arrows." Son Edmund, a
house. Son Thomas, to have a close, with appurtenances, in Westgate Street. Legacies
to his daughter Joan, wife of Thomas Cage, and their children, Mary and John ; to his
brother Roger Bright, and his sons, Augustine, Nicholas, and Thomas; to his sister
Margaret Page, and her sons, George and John. Legacies in money, to all his children
and grandchildren, to the poor, and to St. Mary's Church. The name of his first wife,
and mother of all his children, has not been ascertained. His second wife, was Margaret
Elwolde. It is possible she married, after his decease, Wm. Jervis, of Whepstead, Gent,
as Thomas Bright in his Will, dated August 20, 1587, appoints his father-in-law, said
Wm. Jervis, supervisor.
Of the descendants of the other sons of Walter, viz., John and Edmund, and his
daughters, Joan and Katherine, nothing is known beyond what is mentioned in the pedigree.
Note 3. (II. Gen.) — Roger Bright, of Bury St. Edmunds. He and his sons, are men
tioned in his.brother, Walter Bright's, Will, October 28, 1550. The Will of his widow
Joan, dated Bury St. Edmunds. Feb. 4, 1578, and proved March 26, 1580, mentions her
son Thomas Bright, and his children, Thomas, Agnes, and Margaret, not 18 years of age

Note 7'. (III. Gen.) — Thomas Bright, the elder, was of the Parish of St. James, in Bury
St. Edmunds, draper. He was the alderman (chief magistrate) of Bury, lord of the manor
of Brookhall, in Foxearth, Co. of Essex, and of the manor of Butters Hall, in Thompson,
Co. of Norfolk. His Will, dated August 20, 1587, was proved in the Prerogative Court of
Canterbury, September 23, 1587. He gave to his wife Margaret, during her life, the
manor of Butters, with 400 sheep, and tenements called Bees and Brigbtmears; also the
manor of Brookhall; also lands and tenements in Bury St. Edmunds, Great Barton, Now-
ton, and Fornham, St. Martins. After her death, his son Thomas to have the Norfolk

portrait, procured by the Corporation of Bury St. Edmunds, hangs in the Guildhall. By

BRIGHT. 711
permission of the town authorities, a copy has been made, which is in the possession of
J. B. Bright, of Wahham, Massachusetts. His wife Margaret (Payton) Bright, held her
first Court for Butters Hall Manor, August 14, 1590. Her Will is dated Nov. 20, 1599, and
was proved in the Prerogative Court, at London, March, 1600. She was then residing in
London, probably with her son Robert, who was afterwards of Netherhall. She gave to
her sons, Robert, Henry, and Jasper, and her daughters Anne Reade, Katherine Barker,
Joan Houghton, and Susan Barber, £100 each: to the children of her sons Thomas,
Robert, and Henry ; to the poor of the Parishes of St. James and St. Mary, in Bury St.
Edmunds; to the poor of Thompson, in Norfolk; Barton and Risbie, in Suffolk. Men
tions her brothers, Ralf Payton, Adam Payton, and George Payton; sisters Reyner, and
Rose Langhan; late sister Sybil Hancock, deceased, and sister Margery Wilson. Appoints
her sons-in-law, Bennet Barker and Edmund Houghton, executors, and her son Robert
Bright, overseer. He wrote his name, Bryght.
There are some records of proceedings in relation to Thomas Bright's legacy of £300,
to the Guildhall Feoffment, down to 1612, but there is no distinct or separate account of it
subsequent to that date.
The Suffolk Directory, for 1844, contains an account of the Guildhall Feoffment; a list of
its houses, farms, tenants, &c, vested in the Guildhall Feoffees of Bury St. Edmunds, in
trust, for the public use and benefit of the inhabitants of the town, and for specific chari
table purposes; the rents in 1838 amounting to £2000. Then follows a list of donations,
in which are mentioned those of Thomas Bright, Sen. (viz. £300, besides the tithes of
Foxearth); by Thomas Bright, Jr. (viz. in the time of Charles I., two messuages in the
Fish or Meat Market, afterwards burnt down) ; and by Lady Carew [dr. of Thomas
Bright, Sen.] (viz. £100 laid out for a tenement and land, called Jeckes, at Hepworth).
From this we may infer, that these legacies have not been squandered nor diverted from
their original purposes, but they probably became merged in, or incorporated with, other
possessions held by the Feoffees.
It is to be observed that in the time of Thomas Bright, Sen., money was of eight times
its present value, which would make his bequest equal to £2,400 at the present time.
Wright's His. of Essex, Vol. I., p. 573, says, "Mr. Bright left an annuity of £12 to be
paid out of the estate of Brookhall, for poor prisoners and widows, and for the use of St.
Edmundsbury school."
Note 8. (IV. Gen.) — Thomas Bright, son of Thomas, the elder, of the Parish of St.
James, Bury St. Edmunds, was alderman or chief magistrate of Bury, in 1610. His
arms were entered in the Herald's College, by William Camden, Clarencieux, 14 James
I. (1616). He received by Will, from his father, the Manor of Butters, in Thompson,
Co. of Norfolk, and held his first court there, August 6, 1620.
He was supervisor ofthe Will of his aunt Alice, and one of the executors of his father's
Will. He died in 1626, and was buried in the churchyard of St. Mary, Bury St. Edmunds.
By Deed, in 1625, he gave to the poor of St. Mary's Church; to the prisoners in the
county gaol; for the repairs of the churches of St. Mary and St. James; and for cakes
and wine at the annued meeting of the Feoffees.
Nothing further than what is mentioned in the pedigree is known of his wives, Mar
garet Kent, and Margaret Beton. Mary, wife of Thomas Bright, gent., was buried in the
Parish of St. Mary, September 4, 1625, probably a third wife of this Thomas.
His name appears in the first charter from James L, dated April 3, 1606, to Bury St.
Edmunds, and also in the third charter of James I., to Bury St. Edmunds, dated Sep
tember 17, 1614.
His grandson, Thomas Bright, in his Will, dated March 1, 1709, bequeaths to the town
of Bury St. Edmunds, a portrait of King Edmund, which he desires may be hung in the
same room with that of his grandfather. Neither of these pictures can now be found.
That of Thomas Bright, the elder, is still in existenpe, and easily distinguished by the
inscription at the bottom.
Note 9. (IV. Gen.) — Robert Bright, son of Thomas, the elder, moved to London,
where he was living in 1600. He subsequently became lord of the manors of Netherhall,
in Thurston, and " New House," in Pakenham, both in the County of Suffolk. He had
arms confirmed to him, as second brother of Thomas Bright, of Bury St. Edmunds, with
a crescent on the bend, for difference. In 1620, he built the manor house called "New
House " in __ very elaborate style of architecture. He made his Will, October 1, 1630,
which was proved in the Bishop's Court of Norwich, March 1, .1631. He gives to his son
Thomas, who succeeded to the Netherhall Estate, a tenement called Battlelies. To his

712 BRIGHT.
son William, a farm, called Barton Place, with the fisheries thereunto belonging. To his
son Henry, "New House," in Pakenham, houses and lands in Cockfield, and lands in
Norton. Legacies to his brother-in-law, Thomas Reade, of Bury St. Edmunds; to his
three sisters, Lady Carew, Katherine, wife of Bennet Barker, and Joan, wife of Edmund
Houghton ; also to Thomas, son of his brother, Jasper Bright. His estates were extensive
in the County of Suffolk, all of which, in consequence of the failure of male issue, in
subsequent generations, have gone with the females to other families. As the wife of
Robert Bright is not mentioned in his Will, it is to be presumed she died before him. Her
family is not known. [See p. 100.]^
Netherhall stands partly in Pakenham and partly in Thurston, near the parish church of
the former, and about six miles from Bury St. Edmunds. The Ashfields, Knights, who
were originally of Stowlangtoft, appear to have been seated here about the time of Henry
VIII., and it passed to the Brights about a century afterwards. The Hall has undergone
some changes in its exterior, and now, 1853, belongs to William Chinery Bassett, Esq.,
who is lord of the manor. " New House" was sold to Sir William Spring, for a dower
house for his lady, soon after the death of Robert Bright. It is now the seat of its owner,
the Rev. W. J. Spring Casborne, who is also impropriator of the Rectory. Mr. Casborne
inherits the estate through the female line, from Sir William Spring, the male issue being
extinct. Note 10. (IV. Gen.) — Henry Bright, son of Thomas the elder, was of the Parish of St.
James, Bury St. Edmunds; where he was baptized September 20, 1560. He died in
1609, intestate. A chasm in the administration records between the years 1609 and 1630,
deprives us of some facts in relation to the family, which it would be desirable to know.
He was a man of considerable wealth, and proprietor of several estates in Bury St. Ed
munds, and the neighboring villages. An Indenture, dated March 20, 1606, is among the
corporation records, by which Henry Bright, and his wife Mary, lease to the town, for
certain purposes, the Angel Hotel, a messuage in Cook's Row, Abbeygate Street, and
several tenements, shops, &c, in various parts of the town. He owned houses adjoining
the Angel Hotel, which are still standing. His name appears in the first charter from
James I., to Bury St. Edmunds, dated April 3, 1606. Of his wife's family, nothing has
yet been ascertained. After his death she married William Cole, Gent., of Bury St.
Edmunds. She is mentioned in the Will of her son Thomas Bright, of Ipswich, dated
April 17, 1618.
Note 11. (IV. Gen.) — Susan Bright, daughter of Thomas Bright the elder, was first
married to  Barber. She is mentioned in her father's, mother's, and brother Robert
Bright's, Wills. Her second husband was Sir Nicholas Carew, Knight, of Beddington, in
the Co. of Surrey, and she was his second wife. His first wife was Maria, daughter of
Sir George More, Knight, of Losely. His sister, Elizabeth Carew, was the wife of Sir
Walter Raleigh, Knight. Lady Susan Carew died at Beddington, in 1638, and was buried
in the church there. She gave the feoffees of the Guildhall Feoffment, at Bury St. Ed
munds, £100, for the purchasing of lands to the yearly value of £5, which was to be
equally distributed to five poor widows. It was laid out in the purchase of a tenement
called Jeckes, in Hepworth, in 1636.
Her son Thomas Carew, died in infancy. She also had a daughter Susan Carew, of
whom nothing further is known.
Note 12. (V. Gen.) — Mary Bright, daughter of Henry, and granddaughter of Thomas
Bright, the elder, married William Forth, of Nayland, Co. of Suffolk, Gent., son of Wil
liam Forth, Esq., of Butley, in the same county, of an ancient and highly respectable
family, one of whom married John Winthrop, of Groton, who emigrated to New England.
Her husband was one of the overseers, and her son, Dr. William Forth, of London,
executor of the Will of her sister, Elizabeth (Bright) Dell, widow, of Stratford-le-Bow, in
Middlesex. Note 13. (V. Gen.) — Thomas Bright, son of Henry, and grandson of Thomas Bright,
the elder, was baptized at the Parish of St. James, Bury St. Edmunds. He was a mer
chant in Ipswich, and died unmarried. His Will, dated April 17, 1618, proved in the
Prerogative Court, at London, January 26, 1626; gives to his brother William Forth, of
Nayland, — ; to his mother, then wife of William Cole ; and £70 each to his brothers
John and Henry, when they shall be twenty-one years of age; also, legacies to his sisters
Elizabeth and Martha Bright, and to Maria, daughter of Thomas Woodgate, of Ipswich.

— ; to the poor of Stepney, — ; and legacies of 20s. each, to several persons for purchasing
for themselves rings; appoints her nephew, Dr. William Forth, executor, and her brothers
Blowers, and William Forth, overseers. She is mentioned in her brother Thomas Bright's
Will, dated April 17, 1618.
Note 15. (V. Gen.) — Henry Bright, fifth child, and third son of Henry, and grandson of
Thomas Bright, the elder, was baptized in the Parish of St. James, Bury St. Edmunds,
Dec. 29, 1602. He came to New England, in 1630, and settled at Watertown, Massa
chusetts, where he married Anne, eldest daughter of Henry Goldstone. (See Goldstone,
in Part II.)
He is mentioned in the Will of his brother Thomas Bright (see Note 13), and in the
Will of his sister Elizabeth (Bright) Dell (see Note 14), who bequeathed him £200, and
£70 to his children. These legacies were paid, in 1659, by her nephew, Dr. William
Forth, of London, her executor, through his agent, Dr. Hezekiah Usher, of Boston, in New
England. See in Vol. III., p. 286, of the Suffolk, Mass., Registry of Deeds, the release

field; lands in Tostock and Norton, and houses and lands in several other places. The
present proprietors of Netherhall have in their possession a plan of the estate drawn by
this Henry Bright' in 1620. On a corner of the plan is a sketch, in outline, of Netherhall,
and the following note : — i

BRIGHT.

Note 20. (VII Gen.) — Thomas Bright of Netherhall, Esq., was baptized at Barrow, in
Suffolk, January 5, 16(i(),and was buried at Thurston, April 2, 1727. His wife, Mary, was a
daughter of William Grigson, of Forncett, St. Peter's, Co. of Norfolk, Gent., and sister
and heir of Wm. Grigson, Esq. She was buried September 27, 1744. In Thurston Church
are monumental slabs in the floor, near the chancel, with these inscriptions: —
Here lyeth the body of
Thomas Bright, of Netherhall, Esq.
The remainder of the inscription is covered by a pew. Arms : Bright impaling Grigson.
Here lies the body of
Mart Bright.
Pakenham. Life 44.
A pew covers the rest of the inscription. The same arms are in a lozenge-shaped shield.
Note 2 1 . (VII. Gen.)— Agatha Bright, daughter of Thomas Bright of Netherhall, was born in
1663, and died unmarried in 1732. Her Will, dated April 30, 1731, gives all her money
and personal estate to her nephew, Thomas Bright, and to his sister, Mary Bright ; to Mrs.
Bright, their mother, a ring; to sister Risby, a ring. Desires to be buried in Thurston
Church. The following inscription is on the monumental slab, with the arms of Bright,
in a lozenge shield : — Here lyeth the body of Agatha
Bright, Spinster, one of ye daughters
of Thomas Bright, of Netherhall,
Esq. She died Dec'bre y* 10, Anno Dom.
1732, aged 69 years.
Note 22. (VIII. Gen.) — This Thomas Bright was the last of the Netherhall family in the
male line. He was born in 1713, and dying unmarried, his sister Mary, afterwards wife
of Edmund Tyrrell, became his sole heir. He was buried in St. Peter's Church, Thurston,
of which he was patron. On a monumental slab is the following inscription, surmounted
by the family arms : — Here lies the body of
Thomas Bright
of Netherhall, in Pakenham, Esq.,
who departed this life
the 21st day of December,
In the year of onr Lord Christ
1736,
Aged 23 years.
Note 23. (VIII. Gen.) — Mary Bright of Netherhall. sister and heiress of Thomas Bright, and
the last of that branch of the family, married Edmund Tyrrell, Esq., of Gipping, in Suffolk,
widower. She was living in 1754. During her life, the Netherhall Estate was sold to
George Chinery, Gent., of Bury St. Edmunds. It now belongs to William Chinery -Bassett,
who, with his mother, resides there. Edmund Tyrrell was baptized at Benhall, Co. of
Suffolk, Sept. 9, 1703. He was the son of Thomas Tyrrell, Esq , of Gipping, and Anne,
daughter of Sir John Duke, Bart., M.P. for Oxford. By the death of his uncle, Sir Edward
Duke, without issue, he became heir to his estates. His will, dated August 15, 1746, was
proved in the Bishop's Court at Norwich, January 8, 1749. He desires to be buried in

Church, in Thurston, once in the gift of the Brights of Netherhall, is still in the Tyrrell
family, Charles Tyrrell, Esq., of Polstead Hall, being the present patron. Gipping has for
many ages been the seat of a branch of this very ancient family, whose ancestors may
be very satisfactorily traced to the period of the Norman Conquest, and for more than six
centuries, its chief, in a direct line, enjoyed the honor of Knighthood. They derive from
Walter Tyrrell, a Norman Knight. It has not been ascertained whether this Mary (Bright)
Tyrrell left children.

BRIGHT. 715
Note 24. (V. Gen.) — John Bright, Gent., son f_f Thomas, and grandson of Thomas
Bright, the elder, was baptized in the parish of St. James, Bury St. Edmunds. He was
Alderman (chief magistrate) of Bury, as was his father and grandfather before him, and
a Captain in the Parliamentary army. He sold the estate in Thompson, and bought the

This inscription gives his death in 1670, which is an error. It should be 1660. His wife,
Mary Style, was the daughter of Wm. Style, of Hemingstone, in the Co. of Suffolk, Gent.
Her second husband was the Hon. John North, son of Dudley, third Lord North. Tal
mach Hall, the manor-house in the Parish of Little Brieet, is so called from its ancient
possessors. In 21st Edward I. [1292], Hugh Talmach, and Maria, his wife, held lands
here of the Countess of Gloucester, and his descendants continued here until 7 Edward
VI. [1553], when John Talmach was the owner. It afterwards belonged to the family of
Kemp, and then to the Brights. It is now the property of William Adair, Esq. The Hall
still exists as a farm-house, though much dilapidated. The principal portion of the build
ing was taken down about 40 years since, and hardly a vestige of its former greatness
remains. It was once surrounded by a moat, traces of which are still perceptible. The
Brights of this place were interred in Brieet Church. Little Brieet (which, in 1844, was a
small hamlet, with only 25 inhabitants, and the farm of Talmach Hall), was annexed to
Offton in 1503. It is 30 miles from Bury St. Edmunds, and 12 from Ipswich. [See p. 101.]
Note 25. (V. Gen.)— Edmund Bright, Gent., of Holywell Row, Mildenhall, Co. of Suf
folk, baptized at St. James, Bury St. Edmunds, was a grandson of Thomas Bright, the
elder. His Will, dated January 9, 1658, proved in the Prerogative Office, London, March
7, 1659, gives to his godson, Mr. Thomas Bright, son of his brother, Mr. John Bright, all

Row, in Mildenhall ; legacies to his brother, Mr. Thomas Bright; to his cousin, Thomas
Bright ; to his godson, the son of his cousin, Henry Bright, deceased ; to his sister, Mrs.
Mary Bright, and to his cousin John Gibbons, his sister's son. Gives a rent-charge of four

Mary, in Bury St. Edmunds. Desires to be buried in the churchyard of St. Mary's, in
Bury St. Edmunds, near his parents, and his wife and son. Edmund, son of Edmund
Bright, baptized at St. Mary's, July 19, 1633, was probably this son. His wife Susan was
the daughter of Edward Alston, of Boxford, Co. of Suffolk, clothier, and granddaughter of
William Alston, Lord of Sayham Hall, in Newton, in the same county. A rent-charge of
40s., given by Edmund Bright, is yet distributed among the poor parishioners of St. An
drew's Church, in Mildenhall, out of land at Coldham Hills.

There is a handsome monument in the churchyard at Bury St. Edmunds, on the top slab
of which are the arms of Bright, impaling m # # # and the following: —
Thomas Bright, Gent.,
Dyed the 20 Feby., 1710,
aged 72 years.

BRIGHT. 717
On the west end of the monument, —
Here Lieth the Body of
Dorothy, y° wife of Thomas
Bright, Gent., who departed this
Life, December the 3d, 1684,
In Hope of a Blessed
Resurrection to Life Eternall
Through the Meritts of our Lord
Jesus Christ.
Mary Waters, whose portrait he bequeathed to his cousin Fisher, was the daughter of
Robert Waters, Esq., of Royton, in the Parish of Lenham, and Co. of Kent, and his wife
Katherine Bright, of Royton. From this, it is inferred, that Mary Waters was related to
the Brights of Suffolk. She was a remarkable woman. In Wright's His. of Essex, Vol.
1, p 371, is an account of the family of Robert Honeywood, and of Marks Hall, the
place where they resided, with a view of the hall. There are several portraits of Mary
Waters, one at the Hall, and one at Coleshill, in Berkshire, the seat of the Earl of Radnor,
who is descended from her, as is likewise his lady, through her mother Lady Mildmay.
There is also a marble statue of her in the church at Marks Hall, as kneeling, with an in
scription. She lived to see 367 descendants, viz.: 16 children, 114 grandchildren, 228
in the 3d, and 9 in the 4th generation. Her grandson, Dr. Michael Honeywood, Dean of
Lincoln, in King Charles II. 's time ; and whose monument is in the Minster, used to relate,
that he was present at a dinner given by her to a family party of 200 of her descendants.
She was born 1527, married in 1543, and died May 11, 1620.
Note 29. Luther. Dawtrey, and Chamberlen. The family of Luther, allied to the
celebrated reformer, is first mentioned as of the County of Essex, in the reign of Henry
VIII., when Wm. Luter had a lease from the crown, of the Manor of Albinis, in Staple-
ford Abbots. Richard and Anthony Luther, Esqs., " so truly loving brothers," as is ex
pressed in their epitaph, "that no account whatsoever was kept between them," died in
1627, and were owners of the Manor of Miles. Richard Luther, the father of John,
inherited the large estates of his uncle, Sir Wm. Dawtrey, Knt, and was one of the great
landed proprietors of Essex. John Luther spent £50,000 in the contest when elected
M. P. for that county. Dying without issue, his sister, Charlotte Luther, married to Henry
Fane, Esq., of Wormsley, Co. Oxford, younger brother of Thomas, 8th Earl of Westmore
land ; and Rebecca Luther, married to John Taylor, Esq., grandmother of John Taylor
Gordon, M.D., were his heirs. John Taylor Gordon, M.D. and John Fane, are the present
representatives of these ancient families of Dawtrey and Luther. The latter owns the
Manor of Miles. The Dawtreys are deducible in an uninterrupted descent from the con
quest. John de Alta Ripa, obtaining from Joscelyne, of Louvaine, a grant of the Manor
of Haultrey, assumed the surname of De Haultrey, or Dawtrey, and founded the distin
guished Sussex family of that name, and were descended through Margaret Roper, wife
of Sir Wm. Dawtrey, Knt., of Moor House, Esq., from Sir Thomas More, Lord Chancellor
of England. Sir Wm. Dawtrey, Knt. of Moor House, and Doddinghurst Place, son of
Thomas, and Sarah (Bright) Dawtrey, was Sheriff of Essex, in 1736, and died in 1758.
Charlotte Chamberlen, wife of Richard Luther, was daughter of Hugh Chamberlen, M.D.,
of Alderton Manor, and Hinton Hall, in Suffolk, the celebrated court physician in the
time of James II., and Queen Anne; now represented by John Taylor Gordon, M.D.

viz. : Robert Bright, of Ipswich, Grocer. His Will, dated May 29, 1668, and proved July
3, 1668, gives to his brother-in-law, Frpncis Woodward, £50 ; to his brother, John Bright,
£250; to his sister, Martha Bright, £50; to his brother, William Bright, £3 to buy him a
gold ring; to his co-partner, William Sayer, £10; to his mother, Mrs. Martha Bright, £10;

Thomas Bright, of Ipswich, Gent., one of the bailiffs and portmen of that town. His
Will dated June 17, 1698, and proved Feb. 11, 1698-9, mentions his sister Katherine
Woodward, of London, widow ; his brother, Henry Bright, of Frainisden, in Suffolk,

718 BRIGHT.
Gent., who married his sister, Martha Bright ; his cousin, Thomas Meadows, of Holborn,
London ; his cousin Chapman, Minister of Framisden, John Gibbon, of Ipswich, and
his kinsman, John Copeman, of Ipswich ; also his cousin, Captain William Bright, of Hull,
to whom he gives all his messuages, tenements, houses, lands, &c, in Copdock, and other
towns and parishes in Suffolk; legacies to several persons for gloves, hat-bands, &c. ;
directs, that there shall be engraven on the stone now lying over his wife, the day of his
death, who was bailiff and portman of the town of Ipswich ; appoints John Copeman,
executor, and his sister Woodward, supervisor. From his not mentioning his brothers,
John Bright and William Bright (noticed in his brother, Robert Bright's, Will, in 1668), it
is presumed they were deceased. It is probable, that his cousin, Captain William Bright,
of Hull, whom he makes his principal heir, was a son of his uncle William Bright, of
Netherhall, respecting whom nothing yet has been ascertained, beyond his name.
Thomas Bright also bequeathed by his Will £100 stg., to be put out on good security, or
else to be laid out in the purchase of land, by the bailiffs and portmen of Ipswich,
and their successors, for the only use and benefit of two poor children of the Parish of St.
Mathews, in- Ipswich, in the hospital of said town, forever. The "Suffolk Directory"
(1844), mentions land purchased in 1722, with £340, left to the Hospital by Thomas
Bright, and Richard Philips.

BROOKS — (I.) THOMAS BROOKS* Neither the date of his arrival, nor the place
of his embarkation has been ascertained ; but there is reason to suppose that he came
from London. He first settled in Watertown, and was one of the "townsmen then
inhabiting," to whom the Beaver Brook plowlands were granted in 1636. He was
adm. freeman, Dec. 7, 1636, while he resided in Watertown. It is evident that he
could not be the Thomas Brooke who embarked in May, 1635, then aged twenty, in
company with Rev. Peter Bulkley. The second son, perhaps trie third child, of Capt.
Thomas Brooks, of Concord, was born 1632, when the other Thomas was only 17
years old. He moved very soon from Watertown to Concord, of which he was cap
tain, and he received various other appointments of honour and trust. The General
Court appointed him constable of Concord, Dec. 8, 1638, and he was representative
in 1642, '43, '44, and four years after 1650. In 1640, he was apprizer of horses, cattle,
&c, for the purpose of taxation, and appointed to prevent drunkenness among the
Indians. In 1657, he purchased of the commissioners of the General Court, for £5,
the right of carrying on the fur trade in Concord. In 1660, he and his son-in-law, Timothy
Wheeler, jointly purchased of Edward Collins, 400 acres in Medford for £404, two-thirds
for himself, and one-third for Wheeler. His wife GRACE d. May 12, 1664, and the next
Oct. 22, he sold his house-lot in Concord; but he remained in Concord, and died there
May 21, 1667, intestate. His inventory, by Dea. Merriam, Dea. Potter, and George
Wheeler, amounted to £448 3s., and his debts to £26 5s. 2d. His three sons and son-
in-law presented the Inventory for probate, June 16, 1667, and the next day signed
the following agreement.
'Whereas Thomas Brooks, of Concord, has left an estate, and the sons of the said
Thomas, not willing to trouble the Court, have jointly agreed as followeth: 1st. That
the Inventory taken by Dea. Merriam, Dea. Potter, and George Wheeler shall be ac
counted the full estate of Thomas Brooks. 2d. We do agree that Joshua Brooks
shall have a full double portion out, of the lands at Medford. and that the three other
sons, Capt. Timothy Wheeler, Caleb Brooks, and Gershom Brooks, to have equal
portions, only Caleb and Gershom are to have the remainder of the said lands, after
Joshua is first accommodated, as a part of their portion, and Timothy Wheeler out
of the movable estate, and all to be distributed by [to] them by those three parties

G.) Wm. Bullard and wife Mary had belonged to Camb. Church.
[2.] It is supposed that Benjamin Bullard was a brother of Robert and George, as well
as of Maudlin and Anne. When he (B. B.) demanded of the selectmen the estate of
his father-in-law, Thorpe, the selectmen say, Mar. 29, 1672, "we find the land of
Thorpe, at his decease, was Bullard's, and his two sisters' [. Maudlin and Anna],
but the use of the estate was Goodman Whittacar's till Nov.rl2, 1672."
[3.] George Bullard m. (lst) Beatrice Hall, of Boston. "Beatrice Hall, now wife of

stall, a house and 8 acres, bounded west by John Knolls; E. by Esther Pickeram; S.

in the list of possessions, 1642-4. At a meeting of the selectmen, Dec. 23, 1684, it
was ordered that John Ball, son-in-law, and Jonathan Bullard, a son, be notified of
the necessity of help for father Bullard and his wife.
p. 148. [4.] Jacob Bullard, was in Wat. in 1680, when John Bigelow brought a suit

of Wat, in 1640. Oct. 4, 1653, John White, and wife Frances, of Boston, sold to
John Coolidge, 7 acres of land in Wat, [bounded N. and W. by pastor Sherman; E.
by Garritt Church ; S. by highway] ; " originally granted to Nicholas Busby," by him
sold to John Stebbin, and by him sold to John White. The Will of Nicholas Busby,
of Boston, dated July 25, proved Sept. 10, 1657, makes his wife (not named) sole
exec'x. ; mentions eldest son John (in England), and son Abraham ; eldest daughters
Anne Nickerson (wife of Wm.), Katherine Savory, youngest daughter Sarah Grout;
Joseph Busby, son of his son Nicholas, deceased; and Sarah Grout, his grandchild.
It mentions money and plate, which he gave to his wife ; books in " Phisicke,"
" Divinitie" and "History," bequeathed to his two sons, and three Bibles to his three
daughters. As his drs. Anne and Katherine did not embark with him, it is probable
that they were married in England. It is also probable, that his dr. Sarah, m. (lst),
Ens. Thomas Cakebread, and afterwards Capt. John Grout. [See Geneal. Reg. viii. p.
278.] Oct. 14, 1643, the Gen. Court granted him a. bounty of 34s., for making cloth.

although he had first gone to Dedham. and at this date was a resident of Sudbury.
He was one of the original members (1637) of the Ancient and Hon. Art. Co., and
in Sept., 1642, after the return of Capt. B. Pendleton, to Wat, the General Court ap
pointed Ensign Cakebread, "to lead the company of Sudbury as ensign." His name
has sometimes been confounded with that of Capt. Thomas Bredcake, a mariner, who
obtained a commission against the Turks, in 1644; after the decease of Ensign
Thomas Cakebread, who d. in Sud., Jan 4, 1643-4. He m., subsequently fo Ap.,

CHESTER. — (I.) Leonard Chester, from Brady (orBlaby) Leicestershire, of a very
respectable lineage, came to New England in 1633, then aged about 23 or 24 years,
and settled in Watertown. Two years afterwards, he left Watertown with the colony
that first planted Pyquag, which they named Watertown ; soon after, by the Court,
named Wethersfield. He left Watertown previous to the making out of the earliest
list of possessions, and his name, therefore, is not found in any list of proprietors ; but
it is recorded that one of the lots of Mr. William Paine was bought of Mr. Chester.
Several circumstances, in confirmation of tradition, evince his respectable social
position, and that he was comparatively wealthy. His name occurs only once in
Massachusetts Colonial Records (in Ap. 1634), and then, although so young a man,
he was designated as " Mr. Chester." Although he remained in Watertown only
about two years, a considerable water-course (the outlet of Sherman's Pond, some
times, of late, called the West Branch of Beaver Brook) was named for him, Chester
Brook. A tract of land was also named Chester Meadow, and these names were long
retained. In laying out the Naubuc Farms, on the east side of Connecticut River [now
in Glastenbury] previous to 1640, which was " the first tract of land in the Colony
regularly surveyed and laid out into farms," Mr. Chester's allotment was the largest
except four, viz.: 1. To Elder Clement Chaplin 1200 acres; 2. To Matthew Mitchell
(? father of Rev. Jonathan Mitchell, of Cambridge) 900 A.; 3. To Governor George
Wyllis, 480 A.; 4. To Gov. Thomas Welles, 435 A.; 5. To Mr. Leonard Chester, 432
A. The next largest was to Mr. Thurston Raynor, 330 A.

for possession of five-sixths of corn-mill in Watertown, left to his (S. A.'s) daughter,
Judith, by her grandfather [Wm. Paine]. In Mar. 1689, he signed a contract to
" erect a corn or grist-mill in the village of Oxford," for the French Protestants, and
on Feb. 4, 1689-90, he signed a receipt, "in full, following our bargain." [Mass. Hist.
Coll. 3d Ser. II p. 31.] Aug. 7, 1681, Caleb Church sold to William Adams, of
Dedham, 60 acres of land in Cambridge. Oct. 1689, John Perry petitioned the Court
to remove Caleb Church from keeping an ordinary, " for it is a very disorderly house,
he himself is a stirrer of strife in our town, and entertaining such as himself, who
frame and make lyes, and spreads them abroad," &c. His (C. C.'s) own daughter,
Ruth, and a kinswoman of his wife, named Hannah-Cutler, &c. This was very pro
bably a malicious prosecution, for in Dec. 1688, John Perry was bound over in £10, for
".giving forth words tending to move discord, strife, and dissension among his neigh
bors, and for breaking the common pound of ihe town in August last." He (C. C.) was
selectman of Wat., 1692, 98, 99, 1700, 1, 2, and 13. [For his parentage and affinities,

p. 159. CLARKE. — [1.] It appears by Dr. John Clarke's own statement, in his, " 111
News from New England," that he arrived in Boston in Nov. 1637, and Mr. Savage
supposes that the " Mr. Clarke" who was by the Court chosen constable of Watertown,
in May, 1632, was the " Mr. William Clarke" who was adm. freeman May 18, 1631.
This is very probable, and if so, he soon after left Watertown, as his name is not on
the earliest list of proprietors, nor in the town records. [Winthrop, I. p. 74.] As there
is no evidence that he remained long in Watertown, it is very probable that he was
the William Clarke who accompanied John Winthrop, Jr., in Mar. 1633, when he,
with others, went to begin the plantation of Ipswich. What became of him is not
shown in Felt's History of Ipswich. It is probable that he was the William Clarke
" dwelling between Lynn and Ipswich," licensed by the General Court, June 2, 1641,
"to entertain passengers and cattle." The evidence is not conclusive, yet there is good
reason to believe, that Dr. John Clarke, the physician, preacher, and civilian of Rhode
Island, first settled in Watertown. and that it is his name, which is found on the list of
proprietors in 1642; for it is not unusual for a name to remain on that list, after the
proprietor had moved from the town. In the first place, Dr. John Clarke, of Rhode

Island, made bequests to his nieces, the daughters of John Fiske, Sen., of Watertown.
[See J. Fiske, 1.] In the next place, there seems to have been a particular intimacy
and congeniality of sentiments between him and Nathaniel Briscoe, Sen., of Water-
town. They were appointed joint executors of the Will of John Hazell, dated Nov.
19, 1651. about the time he (Dr. C.) was released from prison in Boston, and a short
time before he and Mr. Briscoe sailed for England. They were, however, to depart
so soon, that they gave a letter of attorney to Thomas Broughton, lately removed from
Wat. to Boston, son-in-law of Mr. Briscoe, for the settlement of Hazell's estate. The
Will was witnessed by John Warren and Thomas Arnold, of Wat., who were also Bap
tists. About this date (.. e., in Oct. 1651), both these witnesses were fined by the
Court, " for an offence against the laws concerning baptism." [See Warren, I., and see
Arnold.] Nathaniel Briscoe, Jr., was one of the witnesses to the said letter of attorney.

746 COOLIDGE.
" It appears in the Rolls of the Hundreds, time of Edward the First, that William de
Coulinge held lands in Cambridgeshire, from which one can reasonably infer that the
family were seated in that County at that time."
" The practice of adopting hereditary surnames from manors and localities originated in
Normandy about the close of the tenth century, or the beginning of the eleventh.
Possessors of land took them from their own estates, a practice in which the Normans
were soon imitated by the English, particularly after the Conquest. Many families of
Saxon origin copied the example of their conquerors, and prefixed de to their names.
In a few instances the article de or d' is still retained; but, generally speaking, it was
dropped from surnames about the time of Henry the Sixth. Thus, instead of William
de Couling, &c, the landed gentry wrote themselves William Couling, of Couling, &c.
" The custom of taking names from towns and villages in England is a sufficient proof of
the ancient descents of those families who bear them.
" That the name (Coulinge) is derived from the village of Couling or Cowling in Suffolk,
there is not the least doubt, and it continued so to be spelt, wiih occasional variations,
until after the family was seated at Arrington. Probably Collins is derived from the
same source. The family of Coolidge of Cambridgeshire is the only one in England,
that adopted their peculiar way of spelling the name; the corruption being in conse
quence of there being no fixed mode of spelling in those days, and persons wrote
names as they sounded to the ear. In Burke's Dictionary of Arms are several varieties
in the spelling of the name, evidently of one common origin, from the similarity of
the arms ; the griffin being almost always introduced in some form or another, either
in the arms or crest. The fleur de lis seems anciently to have been connected with
the family arms." •
" In the year 1327 [lst Edward 3d] Walter Couling, and Ralph Couling, of Wimpole
[adjoining parish of Arrington] Co. Cambridge, were assessed to the King's Subsidies.
[Subsidy Rolls, Public Record Office, Carlton Ride, London.]
" The name has undergone various orthographic changes from the time of its adoption
from the village of Cowlinge, in Suffolk, on the borders of Cambridgeshire; the first
of the name probably being styled de Cowling or de Cooling, as lord of the manor
there, which family soon after removed to Cambridgeshire, and spelt the name, at
different periods, Couling, Cullinge, Colynge, Cullidge, Coledge, Cowlidge, Cooledge,
and Coolidge." (___P See Pedigrees, pp. 744 and 745.)
p. 165. [1.] In the 13th and 14th lines from top, for Coalidg and Coalyng, read Coulidg
and Coulyng. John Coolidge, Sen., d. May 7, 1691, aged 88; his age corresponding
precisely with that in the tabular English pedigree, p.- 744. His wid., Mary, d. Aug.
22, 1691, aged 88. The inventory of his real-estate, homestall-house, and 12, acres,
£50 ; 60 A. of remote meadow, £12 : 10 A. of woodland, £20 : 5 A. in remote meadow,
£7; 2 A. in Rock meadow, £4; 6 A. swamp, at home, £20; another homestall,
bought of David Fiske, 12 A. £50; 30 A. of dividend land, £8; 2 acres in Rock
meadow, £4; 14 acres against Fresh Pond, £20 ; 7 A. in Pondfield, £14; 3 A. in
same field, £6; farm lot, 80 A., £10. (Gravestones in Watertown.)
[3.] Stephen Coolidge was fined £5 by the town for refusing to serve as constable. If
he hire a man to serve, fine to be remitted. Nov. 12, 1692, Court " ordered ye Water-
town selectmen be forthwith sent unto to make known to the Court why Stephen
Coolidge may not be released from serving as constable." Admin, of his estate was
granted to his brother, Jonathan, Mar. 5, 1710-11. His estate was divided June 18,
1711, to his brothers John (heirs), Simon (heirs), Nathaniel, Jonathan, and sister
Mary (heirs). House, &c, given him by his father, appraised at £100.
[4.] Simon Coolidge was witness in Court in 1659, then " aged about 27 ;" again witness
in Court, June 11, 1662, then aged 30, both showing that he was born in 1632. He
d. Dec. 27, 1693, aged 71, and admin, was granted, Jan. 15, 1693-4, to his son Joseph,
and his son-in-law, Nathaniel Bright. Inventory, £66 12s. 3d.
[6.] Nathaniel, d. Nov. 3, 1711.
[8.] John Coolidge, Jr.. was chosen sergeant in June, 1666, was selectman 1684, 86,
87, 88,-89, 90. In the settlement of his estate, or at his decease, he is said to have
been aged about 50. This is undoubtedly an error. It probably should be 60 years.
He is the first named among his father's sons in his Will, and it is to be observed that
he was married in 1655.
KiFThe marginal figures for reference, from 8 to 20, were thrown into pi. in printing, but
they will not probably mislead the reader. Hannah, the eldest child of John, was
born Jan. 29, and not Feb.

[78.] Samuel Coolidge, was schoolmaster, of Wat., 1725 and, 1751. With a liberal
education and fine talents, his history is one of the very numerous illustrations of the
sad effects of intemperance. On Thanksgiving-day, Nov. 4, 1743, a collection was
taken for Samuel Coolidge, to be laid out for clothing, &c, by the deacons. He was
buried at the town charge, Jan. 13, 1767, aged 63.

band was Thomas Brown, of Sudbury. Ap. 3, 1670, Solomon Phipps, Jr., and Mary,

town.
DANIELS. — Robert Daniels d. July 6, 1655 [Camb. Records.] He was released
from training Ap. 1655, probably on account of his age. He was upwards of 60
years old. After 1651 he moved to Cambridge., Reana Daniels, of Camb., was pro
bably his widow, who afterwards m.  Frost. Jan. 7, 1656-7, Reana Daniels, of
Camb., sold to John Whitney 40 acres of great dividend land, 13th lot, 4th division,
bounded N. by Camb. Line, E. and W. by Richard Waite; S. by highway; deed
acknowledged by Reana Frost. Ap. 12, 1669, Robert Daniels, who sold land in Wat.
in 1661 and 1662, and whose Will was dated in Sud., 1661-2, was probably a son of
that Robert, who moved from Wat. to Camb., and d. there. It is also probable that
Samuel Daniels, of Wat., was his son. Ap. 2, 1667, Samuel Daniels, planter, of Wat.,
sold to Nathaniel Coolidge 127 acres in the waste lands, No. 3, lot. 90. [For Ap. 26,
165-, read 1656.]
• DAVIS. — In 1677, Benjamin Davis was put out or bound to Joseph Underwood. Mar.
29, 1692, wid. Underwood was warned for having taken into her family Benjamin
[? Benanuel] Davis, and his family, and the Court disallowed him to be an inhabitant
of Watertown. Jan. 1740, Mary Davis went from Wat. to Camb., and was " cau
tioned" against settlement.
DEAN. — Feb. 11, 1700-1, the town refused to pay the demands of Joseph Dean for
serving as constable. He probably resided in the Farms (Weston). James Dean
moved from Camb. to Wat. in Jan. 1741.
DENGAYNE. — (Dingham). Henry Dengayne, a "townsman then inhabiting"
(1636), to whom a lot of Beaver Brook Plowland was granted, was probably the
"Doctor Dingham" mentioned as a grantee of land in Wat., in a deed, Dr. Philip
Shattuck to Jona. Smith. [Mid. Deeds, Vol. X., p. 52.] He was an early proprietor
of Dedham, and was probably the " Mr. Henry Dingham" whom., in Rox., Ap. 1641,
Elizabeth Alcock, wid. of the Dr. and Dea. George Alcock, who d. Dec. 30, 1640. He
d. in Rox., of apoplexy, Dec. 8, 1645. Nov. 4, 1646, the petition of Mrs. Dingham
and John Alcock, for division of the houses and land (two-thirds to John, eldest son,
and one-third to Samuel, b. Ap. 16, 1637), was granted by the General Court. [Colon.
Rec. II., p. 165.] This was a few months after John had grad. Harv. Coll., and about
13 years before Samuel graduated. See Will of George Alcock [Geneal. Reg II.,
p. 104] wherein is mentioned only two children, John and Samuel, and wife, not
named. Also, see p. 627, note.
p. 198. DENNIS. — Sept. 1743, William Dennis moved from Boston to Watertown. In
Ap. or May, 1748, he moved from Rox. to Watertown.

DENKLER. — DILL. — DIX. — DOLBEAR. — DOW. 753
DENKLER. — This name is sometimes written Dunkler, Dunklin, and Dunklee.
DILL. — George Dill came to Wat. 1671, warned out Sept. 5, 1671, and d. there, a
pauper, in 1715-16. [See Colonial Records for May 10, 1648, II., p. 242.]

. 198. DIX. — [1.] It was for a time supposed that Edward Dix and Jane Wilkinson,
who embarked at Gravesend in Jan. 1635, were married after their arrival, and be
came the ancestors of all the Dix families in Watertown and that vicinity. This sup
position is not yet, I think, entirely disproved, although later investigations have ren
dered it questionable. It is now supposed that Edward Dix, of Watertown, was the
" Edward Deekes" who subscribed at the church gathering in Charlestown, Aug. 27,
1630 (and must therefore have come over in the fleet with Gov. Winthrop, or very
soon after) and the " Edward Dixe" who was adm. freeman Mar. 4, 1634.-5. Per
haps he returned to England for a wife. In subscribing at Charlestown, his name
immediately succeeds that of Henry Bright, who also went to Watertown ; and, in the
list of freemen, his name is in the midst of other Watertown names. He was a
selectman 1650, and he had been a constable previous to Ap. 1651, when he, and

p. 208. FISKE.
Mr. Somerby, having recently visited and examined the Parish Registers in the County
of Suffolk, where the Fiskes are known to have resided at an early date, says, "I
found sufficient to justify the belief, that Nathan Fiske [of Watertown] was the eighth
in descent from the first Simon Fiske, of Laxfield, through Robert, of St. James, South
Elmsham, who was his (Nathan's) great grandfather. [The other Fiskes of New
England are, it is believed, all of the same lineage.] This Simon Fiske was lord of
the manor of Stradhaugh, in Laxfield, in the time of Henry VI., and he bore the fol
lowing arms, viz., "Checkey Arg. and Gule; upon a pale sable three mullets or.
pierced." These arms were confirmed Nov. 16, 1633, to Nicholas Fiske, professor of
physick, of Stradhaugh, in the Parish of Laxfield, and at the same time a crest was
granted him, "for an ornament." The arms had been borne by his ancestors in the
reigns of Henry VI., Edward IV., Richard III., and Henry VII.
Mr. Somerby says, " the family [of Fiskes in Suffolk] is very ancient, and has always
been highly respectable." He found nearly fifty Wills of this family, proved in Suf
folk, between 1462 and 1635. These searches of Parish and Probate Records, and
the copying of them, cannot be prosecuted in England without considerable expense;
and it is to be hoped that, among the almost innumerable Fiskes in New England,
many of them wealthy and liberally educated, a sufficient purse will be made up, in
order to make a thorough investigation.

Joshua and Anthony Fisher, brothers (?), of Dedham, were sons of  Fisher, of
Sileham, who m. Mary Fiske, supposed to be a daughter of William and Anne Fiske,
of South Elmham, and to be an aunt of Rev. John Fiske, of Chelmsford, Mass.
Martha Fiske, a sister of the Rev. John Fiske, of Chelmsford, and of Wm. of Wen
ham, m. Capt. Edmund Thompson, son of John and Anne (Hastings) Thompson, of
Holkham Co., Norfolk. E. Thompson was a sea-captain, had 4 chil., b. in Salem,

resided in Yarmouth, where he had 3 other chil., all d. in infancy.
Anne, the other sister of Rev. John Fiske, m. Francis Chickering, of Dedham, Mass.

FLAGG. — This orthography of the name has been adopted in the text, because it
has become the prevalent, almost the universal usage, for the last few generations.
There is, however, very little doubt but that it is erroneous, and that the correct
orthography is Flegg. In the first place, the name Flagg is not found in Burke's En
cyclopaedia of Heraldry, which is a pretty good dictionary of well-known early
English names; but Flegg is found there, with a coat of arms, with some variations,
as Fleggh and Flegh. In the second place, in the early records of the town, and of
the county, for eighty years or more, the name is, almost without exception, written
Flegg, with some variations, always retaining the e,
as Fleg, Flege,, Flegge, fflegg, &c. Finally, we
have the autograph of Thomas Flegg, Jr., a fac-
simile of which is here inserted, which is written . — f~fc&l\A~ll*-\
with an e. The initial ff, for F, was not unusual at J ' (j
that period.
[1.] For 1643, read 1641. Thomas Flagg, Sen., continued to be selectman, 1681, 85,
and 87. He was released from training Ap. 165—, by paying the Co. 5s. per annum.
He was fully released therefrom by the Court, Ap. 5, 1681, when his eldest son was
40 years old. His Will, proved Feb. 16, 1697-8, mentions only a part of his children,
viz., sons Thomas, Michael, Allen, and Benjamin, and dr. Rebecca Cooke [son Ger
shom was already deceased.] William Flagg, killed by Indians at Lancaster, Aug.
22, 1675, was probably another son, b. about 1648, and, being dead, not mentioned.
The Will of his wid , Mary, dated Dec. 30, 1702, mentions only a part of her chil
dren, viz., Mary Bigelow, Elizabeth Bigelow, Rebecca Cook, and son Benjamin; son
Samuel Bigelow, Exr.

FOX.— Thomas Fox, m., Ap. 24, 1683, Elizabeth, wid. of Charles Chadwick (who
d. Ap. 10, 1682). She d. Feb. 22, 1684-5, aged 70. Thomas Fox was Rep. of Wat,
1688, and "Father Fox," was chosen tythingman, 9 months after the above mar
riage. Mr. Shattuck, p. 371, says, Thomas Fox, Sen., d. Ap. 14, 1658. It seems to
me more probable, that it was the son Thomas, who d. at that time ; and that Thomas
Fox, Sen., was the "Father Fox," who m. the widow Chadwick. From the age of
the bride (aged 69), we infer that he was an old man. It is conjectured, that his 2d
wife, Hannah, was a daughter of Capt. Thomas Brooks, that she, and her son Thomas,
and probably her daughter, died before her father, and is not therefore, mentioned in
the settlement of his estate. We insert the little we have gleaned, with respect to
the family of Thomas Fox, of Concord, accompanied with our conjectures, to be con
firmed or confuted by others.
Thomas Fox, m. (1st), Rebecca  . She d. May 11, 1647, and he m. (2d), Dec. 13,
1647, Hannah Brooks. As the birth of no child of hers is recorded after 1650, she
probably died soon, and before her supposed father, Capt. Brooks. He m. (3d),
Ellen, wid. of Percival Green,* of Camb., where he settled, and was a member of
the church as early as 1658, and was this year selectman. She A. in Camb., May 27,
1682, aged 82 years ; ten months before his m. to wid. E. Chadwick. He d. in Camb.,
Ap. 25, 1693, set. 86. [See Camb. Epitaphs.]
1. Eliphalet, ra., 1665, Mary Wheeler, dr. of George and Catherine, of Concord. He m.
(2d), in 1681 or 82, Mary, wid. of Isaac Hunt, and dr. of John and Anne (How)
Stone, of Sudbury. [See How.] She d. about 1686. [She had ra., May 14, 1667,
Isaac Hunt (? son of Wm., of Concord.^ He d. Dec, 1680, leaving 6 children. By
her 2d husband, E. Fox, she had 2 children.] He d. Aug. 15, 1711.

ceeded his father-in-law, E. Mitchelson, as Marshal-General, and d. Mar. 3, 1691, aged 65.

766 FREEMAN. — FULHAM. — FULLER.
FREEMAN. — The name of Samuel Freeman's wife in the records is Appia
(Apphia). May 31, 1648, Henry Freeman, of Wat, mortgaged his house with 2 A.
of land in Wat., situated between Joseph Tainter and Richard Gale, to John New
gate, of Boston, and William Barber, of (?) Ludgate, in consideration of their releasing
him from a bond in favor of John Freeman, of Westminster. [Suff. Deeds I., p.
91.] This renders it probable that he was from Westminster, or that vicinity. There
is no record of any children of Henry Freeman, of Watertown, but probably James,
of Boston, and Samuel, of Sudbury, were his sons. May 3, 1704, Mary Sherman, of
Wat, and James Sherman, of Sud. [Ex'rs of Rev. John Sherman], for £40, sold to
Samuel Freeman, of Sud., weaver, and James Freeman, of Boston, brewer, 4 acres
in Wat, near the Farms [Weston] meeting-house, bounded N.W. by Thomas
Woolson ; S.E. by land of  Loveran, d. ; S.W. and N.E. by squadron line; only
excepting what is sold to the Farms for a burying-place. James Freeman, adminis
trator of John Freeman, of Newton, Ap., 1705. Jan., 1713-14, Apphia Freeman,
from Cambridge, was warned out of town. She became pauper, and was buried in
May, 1723, when the selectmen ordered 5 quarts of rum to be bought for her funeral!
Her parentage not ascertained.
p. 227. FULHAM. — Francis Fulham, Esq., was for a long time the most influential
man in Weston. The Registry of Deeds shows that he purchased numerous lots or
parcels of land, generally situated in the S.W. part of the town. Jan. 4, 1697-8,
James Barnard, of Sud., sold to Francis Fulham, of Wat. [Farms], 60 A. in Wat,
near Sudbury, a quarter of the farm called Barnard's Farm, " near the Land of Con
tention, so called." Feb. 10, 1707-8, same sold to same, 24 A. in S.W. corner of
Watertown [Farms], part of a grant of 236 A. called Land of Contention. [See
Eddy [6.], Part II.] He was selectman 1710, '11,, before the separation, Weston
from Wat, and afterwards, he held numerous responsible offices. [See Bond, 35.]
The date of his decease has not been ascertained ; but he lived to advanced age, for
" Col. Francis Fulham," was Moderator of a town-meeting, Mar. 25, 1751. Mar. 30,
1752, he resigned his agency for collecting rents for the proprietors of Natick, and
for paying to each his due share. The records of Natick were in his keeping as
early as 1719.
[3.] Francis, m., Dec. 4, 1740, Susanna Hammond, dr. of Eleazer and Hannah (Har
rington) Hammond, of Newton. [T. Hammond 70, Part II.]
[4.] Jacob Fulham d. in Leominster, Oct. 20, 1833, aged 83, probably a son of Jacob
and Hannah (Ware), of Weston.
[12.] For Mar. 30, read May 30. Sarah Fulham, was the 2d wife of Dea. Wm. Trow
bridge. 5 chil. [See Trowbridge, 18, Part II.]
FULLER. — William Fuller, aged 25, and John Fuller, aged 15, 'embarked in the Abi
gail, in May, 1635, for New England. This age of John does not correspond with the
age of the first John Fuller, of Newton, who d. Feb. 7, 1698-9, aged 87. Perhaps
there is an error in one of these dates. Elizabeth, wid. of John Fuller, of Newton,
d. Ap. 13, 1700.
The family and descendants of John Fuller, of Newton, are so very intimately asso
ciated with Watertown families, and what was printed on pp. 227-8, contains some
errors, and so many deficiencies, that a brief, condensed genealogy is here inserted.
That large tract of land called the Fuller Farm, and upon which most of the families
of this name have resided, was situated in the bend of Charles River, opposite to
Waltham Plain.a It included nearly all the land lately taken from Newton, and an
nexed to Waltham. It was, however, more extensive, extending farther down, and
farther back from the river. For a view of the topography of this farm, and, a more
copious account of this family, see Jackson's excellent History and Map of Newton,
to which we are much indebted.

Henry Goldstone, aged 43, wife Anna, aged 45, dr. Anna, aged 18 years, and dr. Mary,
aged 15 years, embarked at Ipswich, Eng., in Ap. 1634, and settled in Watertown,
where he d. July 25, 1638, aged 46. In Nov. 1634, the Court "dismissed him train
ing," by reason of age and infirmity, only he was to have in readiness at all times
sufficient arms for himself, besides his servants. His wid. m. John George (of Water-
town after this marriage), who d. about the lst of June, 1647. His Inventory, by
Lieut. Mason, John Coolidge, and John Sherman, was dated June 12, 1647. This In
ventory was presented for probate by his wid. Anna, June 29, 1647, and on the same
day she presented for probate " an inventory of all such goods [personal estate] as
were widow Gouldstong's, and in her possession, before she entered into a married
estate," £188 0s. lid. She is called, "late wife of Henry Goldstone." She was ap
pointed guardian of Robert and Susan George, two children of her last husband by a
former wife.* This Susan George m. Robert Harrington [1]. [See Geneal. Reg. VII.,
p. 172, and Suff. Prob. II., p. 33.] The items of the above-mentioned Inventory show,
that Mr. Goldstone's house and farm were well furnished and stocked for that early
day, and the schedule of his real estate (11 lots, one of which was a homestall of
28 A.), amounted to 355 acres. " Wid. Hannah [Anna] George," d. in Wat., Ap. 26,
1670, aged 79. Chil.,
1. Anna, bap. at Wickham Skeith, Co. Suff., May 16, 1615; m. Dea. Henry Bright [1].
2. Mart, bap. Feb. 26, 1620 (probably not soon after birth, as she was 15 years old when
she embarked), m. in Rox., Oct. 8, 1634, Lieut. Joshua Hewes. He, then unm., came
over about Sept. 1633, a fellow-passenger, it is believed, with Rev. John Cotton, Ed
mund Quincy, Col. John Leverett, Gov. John Haines, and Rev. Thomas Hooker. He
was adm. freeman Mar. 4, 1633-4, and on the same day subscribed 20s. towards
building the sea fort [Fort Independence]. He was Rep. at the Gen. Court, June
1641, and in Sept. 1642, the Court appointed him to have charge, in Rox., of the order
respecting the making of saltpetre. He was a merchant of large transactions ; was
one of a free company of adventurers for trade and discoveries, incorporated by the
Court in Mar. 1644, and in May, 1645, "Mr. Joshua Hewes" was one of the four
undertakers for the iron-works. [See Col. Records, vol. II., Index, and Winthrop, II.,
* John George, of Charlestown, was one of the founders of the First Baptist Church in Boston. In Hut
chinson's Hisl. Coll. I., p. 399, see an account of the inloleram, shameful proceedings of Ihe Court against him.
He d. Sept. 12, 1666. His nuncupative Will mentions wife Elizabeth, and chil. Elizabeth Glazier, Marlha Rose,
John. Ruth, Hannah, and Mary. His wid. m.  Harbour ; dr. Ruth m. in 1668, Samuel Frothingham ; dr. Hannah
in., Nov. 25. 1673, James Miller; dr. Mary m., July 11, 1678, Joseph Dowse. Whether this John was a son of
that John George who d. in Wat. in 1647, has not been ascertained, but it is not improbable. Having attained
his majority before the decease of his supposed father, he is not mentioned among the wards of wid. Anna.
Mar. 2, 1641. John George was put (by the Court) to Mr. John Winthrop, Sen., for 8 years, with his own con
sent. He was probably an orphan.

213.] He was one of the Rox. Grantees of land, between the lines of Ded , Wat.,
and Sudbury; was one of the messengers appointed by the Court, in 1648, to
Shawomet (Warwick), in order to settle the disturbance there between the English
and Indian's; was engaged in the Narragansett purchase and settlement, and in 1662
moved thither, to Wickford (N. Kingston), but afterwards returned to Boston. His
first marriage is the third recorded in Roxbury. His wife Mary (Goldstone) d., and
he m. (2d) Feb. 11, 1657, Alice, wid. of John Crabtree, of Boston. He d. in Boston,
Jan. 25, 1676, aged 66. The births of only three of his chil. are recorded in Roxbury,
but it is probable that he had others. Chil.,
1. Joshua, b. Oct. 19, d. Dec. 20, 1639. 2. Mary, b. Dec. 29, 1641.
3. Joshua, b. May 25, 1644. Joshua Hewes, probably this son, was appointed inn
holder, June 26, 1693, and d. in Boston in 1706.
GOLDTHWAITE.— Inventory, of wid. Martha Goldthwaite, of Waltham, dated
Dec. 3, lodged Dec. 4, 1783, £38 6s. lOo".

GOSS.— For May 10, 163-, read 1631. John Goss, was a juror May 2, 1631. June
4, 1639, he was fined £20, for common railing [violating the gag-laws], and com
mitted to prison. The fine was remitted not long afterwards.
GOVE. — The Will of John Gove, of Charlestown, dated Jaw. 22, 1647-8, mentions wife
(not named), whom he made ex'x ; daughter Mary Gove, whom " I do give and be
queath, with my wife's full consent, to Ralph Mousal, and his wife, as their own child
forever; and my two sons John and Edward." Inventory dated Jan. 25, 1647-8
(three days after the date of his Will), £9 12s. 6c.. The Will renders it very im
probable, that this Inventory embraced the whole of his estate. It is probable that he
was a dealer or worker in brass. The disposal of his daughter, Mary, renders it
probable that she was not the daughter of his wife, whom he appointed ex'x. He
bought his house of <:goodm. Larkin." [See Geneal. Reg. vii., p. 170.]
[1.] John Gove, was constable of Camb., in 1672; d. Nov. 24, 1704, aged 77. The
record of his children requires to be corrected as follows: —

5. James, bap. Dec. 13, 1663.
6. Nathaniel, bap. Aug. 4, 1667, mentioned in his father's Will; m. Mary  , and

GRAVES. — Benjamin Graves, fined 40s. for selling drink, was released by the
selectmen from that part of the fine belonging to the poor, he being a poor man. At
the same time (May, 1694) he was " approved as a retailer, he living in the woods,
upon a road remote from any other ordinary several miles."
GREEN — Winthrop [II., p. 152], says: " Divers families going from Watertown [in
1642-3], to plant Martha's Vineyard, procured a young man, one Mr. Green, a scholar,
to be their minister, in hopes soon to gather a church there. He went not." It was
Rev. Henry Green [not Thomas], an early proprietor of Wat., afterwards the first
minister of Reading, who m. Frances, the eldest child of Dea. Simon Stone.* [Thomas
Green, of Maiden, m., Sept. 5, 1659, Frances, wid. of Richard Cook.]
Samuel Green was witness to a deed in Wat., Dec. 26, 1677. John Green was witness
to a deed by wid. Jane Guy, in Sud., in 1666, and to a deed in Wat., Ap. 1671. He
was an inhabitant of Wat. 1702 to 1714, where his wife, Bethia, d. Oct. 12, 1714, aged
68. [See Shattuck [12], Part II.]
p. 263. GREGORY. — [34.] The parentage of this Susan Upham is not ascertained.
GRIMES. — James Grimes had 3. Mary, b. in Newton, Ap. 25, 1747. 4. Kezia, b.
in N., Sept. 28, 1749.
* Feb. 3, 1668, Simon Stone, Jr. (brother of Frances), and wife Mary, sold lo Simon Coolidge a farm of afcout 55
acres, lately belonging; to the relict and heirs of Henry Green, late of Watertown. clerk, to whom it was granted.
This farm was in the western part of Watertown Farms (Weston), and very near or adjoining to the " Cowpen
Farm," The Will of Dea. Simon Stone [Geneal. Reg. III. 182] gives to his dr. Frances, £10, "And my mind is,
that my daughter Frances' £10 should be paid £5 to Johnana Green, her daughter, and Nathaniel Green, her son,
50s. apiece : and the other £5 lo the children she have by her husband  ." By this, it appears that Mr. Green left
only two children that lived to maturity, and that his wid. Frances m. a second husband, and had other children.
It has not been ascertained what became of his dr. Joanna, or whether his son Nathaniel had wife or family. The
son resided in Watertown as early as 1694, when he subscribed towards repairing the meeting-house. After this
he appears to have become indigent or helpless. Mar. 16, 1708-9, wid. Mary Stone [6], presented a complaint to
the selectmen that Nathaniel Green, an inhabitant of Wat., is destitute of a place of abode. Same date, the
selectmen agreed to meet Ap. lst next, to inquire, what estate of Green may be found in the possession of Mrs. Mary
Stone. The next June, the selectmen desired Jabez Beers to take Nathaniel Green as far as he hath occasion,
and the rest of the time to spend with Samuel Spur, at the shoemaker's trade. Jan. 30, 1709-10, the selectmen
ordered the Treasurer to receive of the heirs of Simon Stone, deceased [6], payment on Green's estate; and on the 30th
Jan. 1710-11, Simon Tainter agreed to keep Nathaniel Green 4 years from the 5th instant.

he d. there Sept. 15, 1739.
GUTTERIG.*— (Gutteridge, Gudderidge, Gouteridge, Goodridge, Goodrich.) It is
not clearly ascertained whether Goodridge, or Goodrich, is the correct orthography, as
both of them are English names, and they have different coats of arms. Goodrick
and Goodricke are also found in works of heraldry ; and the coat of arms of Good
ridge and Goodricke render it very probable that they are of the same origin.
The inventory of " William Goodrich," of Watertown, by Samuel Thatcher and Thomas
Hastings, was dated Ap. 3, 1647 [See Geneal. Reg. VII., p. 57. ]f His wid. Margaret
m. John Hull, of Newbury, who d. there Feb. 1, 1670, and his wid. Margaret d. Feb.

William Goodrich, (?) brothers, came lo this country together from Bury St. Edmunds, or that vicinity, Co. Suffolk,
England ; that William, the younger, settled in Watertown, where he died ; that John, the eldest of the two, was
the John Guttering who was adm. freeman of Mass., May, 1642; that soon after this he went to Wethersfield,
where his name appears in the Conn. Coll. Records the next year, taking with him his two sons, John and Wil
liam (having left another son, William [See Note, p. 45], in England, to be educated, afterwards minister of
Hegassitt, d. about 1677, s. p., bequeathing his estate to his nephews in Conn.); that he died on his return voyage
to England, in 16.4, leaving in Wethersfield those two sons, John and William, from whom the Goodrich families
in Connecticut are descended.
t Colonial Records, June 6, 1637, "Whereas John Bmfield dyed, leaving 2 children undisposed of, the charge
of the one [Mary, who m. Samuel Garfield] was ordered to be defrayed by Mr. Cradock, he having the goods of
the deceased, the other [Alice] being disposed of by the country'' [to Emanuel White, q.v.]. It is probable thai White
d. soon, as his name disappeared, and, by the Gen. Court, Sept. 3, 1639, " William Gutlridge was enjoined to lake
care of ' Ales Burwood,' until he maybe lawfully discharged of her." [See p. 26.]

freeman Mar. 9, 1636-7, and was a grand juror Sept. 19, 1637. In 1650, and

bridge Village (Newton), near the boundary line of Brookline, and near a beautiful
body of water, which has since borne his name — "Hammond Pond." Nov.
14. 1656, for £40, he purchased of Esther, dr. of Nathaniel Sparhawk, of Cam

HOW.— lst line, for 1632, read 1634. Elder Edward How d. June 24, 1644. In 11th
line, after Boxstead, insert, Co. Essex. July 18, 1658, "Miss  Bunker," from
Watertown Church, was adm. to Charlestown Church. George Bunker, who married
the wid. of Edward How, of Wat., was adm. freeman Mar. 4, 1634-5, and was con
stable of Charlestown in 1638. He was one of the wealthiest settlers of the town,
and in the divisions of land, his shares were commonly the largest of any. One of
his lots of land on Bunker Hill ran over its summit, and hence its name. [Fro-
thingham's.Hist. of Charlestown, p. 83.]
Elder Edward How, of Watertown, and Matthew Cradock, of London, were joint and
equal proprietors of the first mill built in Watertown. It is probable that the mill
had been built by How, at the joint cost of himself and Mr. Cradock. It appears by
the earliest list of possessions, and likewise by his Inventory, that Mr. Howowned
the land (2 acres) between the river and " Mill Creek," extending from the Mill up
to the stone dam. His homestall of 40 acres was also in that vicinity. Aug. 19, 1635,
he sold his moiety of the mill to Thomas Mayhew for £200, with bond for £400, and
mortgage, with condition, " that if said Mayhew pays to How £200, bond to be void,
else said How shall enter upon the moiety of said mill, as if he had never made sale
thereof." Mayhew bought the other moiety of the mill of Nicholas Davison, agent
of Matthew Cradock, of London. Ap. 18, 1640, Mayhew sold the mill to Dep. Gov.
Dudley for £400. It is probable that Mayhew failed to perform his conditions with
How, and that this gave rise to the case briefly noticed by Winthrop, vol. II., p. 50.
In his Inventory, by (Rev.) John Knowles (Capt.) Wm. Jennison, and (Capt.) John
Sherman, is included this bond and mortgage of Thomas Mayhew, for £400.

[The following account of a Hubbard family is here inserted, on account of its many
affinities with other families included, in this volume. It is very defective, and it is
hoped that some one will be induced to supply its deficiencies.]
GEORGE HUBBARD, and wife MARY, are supposed to have come from England about
1635 or 6, and went with the early settlers to Wethersfield, of which he was delegate
in 1638. His lot of land in the Naubuc Farms, laid out in 1640, on the east side of the
river (now inXJIastenbury), contained 195 acres. He soon afterwards moved to Mil
ford, and was there admitted to the church, Jan. 15, 1644. In 1648, he moved to
Guilford, and was there admitted to the church, Oct. 6, 1650. He was living in Guil
ford in 1665. He had at least nine children, some of whom were born in England,
but the order of their birth has not been ascertained. [See Chapin's Hist, of Glasten

HUDSON. — Daniel Hudson was taxed in Wat. in 1652, and two acres were granted
to him in King's Common, Oct. 22, 1653, he to make brick for the town's use. Nov.
7, 1664, he was released from the condition. In the Inventory of John Chinery was
a lot of 10 acres, formerly of Daniel Hudson. He moved to Lancaster in 1664. where
he, and his wife, and two daughters, were slain by Indians in 1695. [Worcester

JACKSON. — About 1637, or earlier, Robert Lockwood, Isaac Sternes, and Henry
Jackson, were lessees of the fishing wears in Wat., for six years. This was probably
the Henry Jackson who, then aged 29, embarked at London, in April, 1635, in the
Elizabeth and Ann. ___P For a copious and satisfactory account of the family and de
scendants of Dea. John Jackson, and Mr. Edward Jackson, of Newton, see Jackson's

JACOBS. — Nicholas Jacobs sold his homestall in Wat. to Robert Daniel before 1636,
also, sold a lot near the river to John Barnard, and moved to Hingham. He was

800 JAMES.— JENNISON.
licensed by the Gen. Court, Oct. 7, 1640, to keep an ordinary in Hingham. In Nov.
1646, he was appointed one of the Commissioners to end small causes, and was
elected Deputy of Hingham in 1648, 49, &c. His Will, dated May 18, proved July
28. 1657, mentions wife Mary (Ex'x), eldest son John, son Joseph, drs. Mary Otis,
Elizabeth Thackster, Sarah Cushen, Hannah (m., Dec. 13, 1657, Thomas Loring, Jr.,
of Hull), and Deborah. Inventory, £393 8s. 6c.. [See Geneal. Reg. viii. p. 280.]

JAMES. — The marriage contract between wid. Reana James and William Andrew,
was made Aug. 11, 1640, and on Aug. 21, 1664, " Daniel Kempster, aged 77," testi
fied that he witnessed the signature of the contract.
JENNISON.— In 4th line from the bottom, for Black, read Block Island. Mr.
William Jennison was by the court, chosen Ancient (ensign) to Capt. Patrick, Aug.
16, 1631, and held the office until Mar. 9, 1636-7, when he was chosen Captain for
Watertown. He was one of the first three Commissioners for Watertown, appointed
in 1638, to end small causes, and he appears to have held it, by reappointments, until
his return to England. Oct. 6, 1634, he was fined £20, by the Court "for upbraiding
the court with injustice, uttering these words : ' I pray God deliver me from this court,'
professing he had waited from court to court, and could not have justice done him."
At the next court, Ap. 7, 1635, this fine was' remitted. The Colonial Records show
that the court had great confidence in his capacity and integrity. He received
numerous appointments on commiltees, of which he was often chairman, for deter
mining boundaries between towns, and plotting new towns ; also on questions of
taxation, Indian affairs, and contested land claims. He, and Mr. Mayhew, both of
Watertown, were appointed to bring Mr. Nathaniel Eaton (the first principal of
Harvard College), to trial for his misconduct, chiefly in relation of his mal-treatment
of Nathaniel Briscoe, Jr., son of Nathaniel, Sen., of Watertown.
In May, 1637, he was one of the four commissioners appointed by the court, to provide
men, munitions, and provisions for the Pequod war. Sept. 3, 1638, the court granted
him 200 acres of land, which wasthe land mentioned in the followingtransaclion. Ap.
8, 1657, William Jennison, "of Colchester, Old England," by his brother Robert,
his att'y, conveyed to Edmund Rice, 200 acres, granted to said. William; bounded
W. by the Dunster Farm; N. by Sudbury line; E. by Wat. line; S. by Dedham
bounds. This land passed from Edmund Rice, to his son Matthew. This conveyance
shows that Capt. Jennison was living in England, as late as 1657, and renders it
probable that the Jennison family originated in Colchester, Co. of Essex.
According to Frothingham's Hist, of Charlestown, there was a William Jennison, resi
ding there in 1678. This is probably a mistake for Jamieson, or Jameson.

mence a settlement there. He and Symonds, built a trading-house; but he died in
Watertown, before he had moved his family thither. His Inventory renders it very
probable that he was a trader in Watertown. [See Willard's Centennial Address, at

Child, Richard Beers, and Priscilla Knapp. The next April, she was released from

JOHN LAWRENCE. 819
JOHN LAWRENCE.
(I.) JOHN LAWRENCE* settled in Watertown, probably in 1635, as his eldest child
was born there, Mar. 14, 1635-6. His name is on the earliest list of proprietors extant,
and he was adm. freeman Ap. 17, 1637. The date of his arrival in America has not been
ascertained, nor is it known whether he was married before or after his arrival. No
thing has yet been ascertained from American records or archives, with respect to his
parentage or ancestry. It has been supposed that he was the John Lawrencef of great St.
Albans, Hertfordshire, who embarked in the Planter, for New England, in 1635, then aged
17 years. This is evidently a mistake, as the passenger in the Planter was only 19 years
old when John Lawrence, of Watertown, was admitted freeman.
By his first wife, ELIZABETH, he had 12 children, all born between his settlement in
Watertown, and his removal to Groton, whither he moved in the autumn of 1662. His
wife, Elizabeth d. there the next summer, Aug. 29, 1663, and he m. (2d), Nov. 2, 1664,
SUSANNA BATCHELDER, dr. of William Batchelder, of Charlestown. He d. July 11,
1667, and his wid. Susanna d. July 8, 1668. His Will, dated Ap. 24, proved Oct. 1, 1667,
appoints his wife, and sons Nathaniel and Joseph, ex'rs; mentions sons. Enoch, Samuel,
Isaac, Jonathan, and Zechariah ; of the three at home. Elizabeth, " to live with Mr. Ensigne
Buss, of Concord, till of age; the other two, Enoch and Zechariah, be trust to Samuel
Willard and William Lakin, till of age." To his dr. Mary he gave only half a portion
with the rest, " to leach her a remembrance of her disobedience and unfaithfulness to me
in my distress." [She had married two days before the decease of her mother.] Inven
tory, £278 Os. 4d. House and 10 acres of
land, from the street to the hill, taking an
equal breadth, apprized at £60. The Will
of his wid. Susanna, dated at Charlestown, _,
July, proved Dec 16 1668 mentions her [Signature to his Will.
two daughters, Abigail and Susanna; her
father and mother Bachelder; two sisters, Rachel Atwood and Abigail Asting; her father
Bachelder, and brother Atwood, of Maiden, ex'rs.
The date of his removal to Groton is determined with sufficient precision by the follow
ing facts. Oct. 23, 1662, he sold land in Watertown to John Barnard. Oct. 27, 1662, he
sold another lot to William Page, and on the same day another lot to Joseph Underwood,
and o_i the same day he sold to John Biscoe his homestead in Watertown, a dwelling-
house, &c, and about thirteen acres, "being the now mansion-house of said John
Lawrence," bounded on the E. by the highway; N. by Timothy Hawkins and John Ham
mond ; W. by the meadow of said Biscoe ; S. by land of John Flemming, deceased; wid.
Dix, and her sonne; wid. Bartlett, and said Biscoe. In Dec. 1662, " meet men were found
amongst the inhabitants [of Groton], when Dea. James Parker, John Lawrence, William
Martin, Richard Blood, and James Fiske, were chosen selectmen" [Butler, p. 17]. His
early admision as freeman, and this election to the first board of selectmen of Groton,
show that he was well known, and of good repute. According to the list of posses
sions in Watertown in 1642, he then owned 7 lots, amounting to 154J acres. Tn
legal instruments he was designated a carpenter, although, from the amount of his
land, it might be presumed that he was chiefly devoted to agriculture. The birth
* In compiling; the following genealogy of the descendants of- John Lawrence, we with pleasure acknowledge
onr obligations, in the first place, to Butler's very valuable History of Groton, so often referred to in the course
of this work; in the next place, to the Genealogy of Isaac Lawrence [366], by Mr. F. S. Pease, published in Al
bany in 1853; and lastly, to "the Memoir of the Family of John Lawrence," by Rev. John Lawrence, printed in
Boston in 1847, but not published. To the latter we are indebted Tor much information respecting the later
generations. A gentleman has lately succeeded, as we are told, in discovering the pedigree of the Lawrence
families in England, and tracing it back to a remote period. This pedigree has not yet been received in this
country. Perhaps it may be forwarded in such time as lo find a place in our Appendix.
f The following family, from Great St. Albans, Hertfordshire, embarked in the Planter, Nic. Trarice, Master,
Ap. 2, 1635.
John Tuttell, mercer, aged 39 ; Joan Tuttell, aged 42; John Lawrence, aged 17 ; William Lawrence, aged 12 ;
Maria Lawrence, aged 9 ; Abigail Tuttell, aged 6 ; Symon Tuttell, aged 4 ; Sara Tuttell, aged 2 ; John Tuttell, aged
1 year. 1653-4, Mrs. Jo,anna Tuttle was att'y of her husband John Tuttle, then living in Ireland. He d. atCarrickfergus,
Ireland, Dec. 30, 1656. It appears by the court files of Essex, 1659, that Joanna Tuttle had a son George Gid-
dings; son John Lawrence; sons John and Simon Tuttle. Also, that, there was a John Tuttle, then aged 33,
nephew of her husband. As no sou William Lawrence is mentioned irt this document, we may infer that he was
not then living. It is here evident that this Joanna m. fist),  Lawrence, and afterwards John Tuttle. The
numerous and respectable Lawrence families of Long Island and New York, are said to trace their lineage to
these emigrants, John and William, from Great St. Albans.
There was a Henry Lawrence of Charlestown as early as 1635. In the first division of land on Mistick side,
Ap. 20, 1638, he received five acres. July 22, 1646, wid. Chrislian Lawrence (supposed to be the wid. of Henry)
and her son John, sold lond at Fort Point. The age of this son John has not been ascertained. Wid. Christian
Lawrence d. Mar. 3, 1647-8. Oct. 8, 1648, Nicholas Lawrence, of Charlestown, sold land at Fort Point to Nicholas
Shapley.

JOHN LAWRENCE.

of his dr. Elizabeth is recorded in Boston, and as no births of his family are recorded in
Wat., from 1649 until 1659, perhaps he resided in Boston several years,in the exercise of
his trade. Chil., 
1. John, b. Mar. 14, 1735-6. He is not mentioned in his father's Will, and it
might therefore be concluded that he was deceased, and without issue. But it
is to be observed, that he does not mention his son Peleg, nor his drs. Abigail
and Susanna, who are known to have been then living. We shall assume that
he was then living, until there is some evidence to disprove it, and that he had
a family.
2. Jonathan, buried Ap. 6, 1648.
3. Nathaniel, b. Oct. 15, 1639; an executor of his father's Will, adm. freeman
May 15, 1672.

5. Joseph, b. May 30, 1643 ; an ex'r of his father's Will ; adm. freeman May 15,
1672; m., 1670-1 (?) Rebecca  . He was probably the Joseph Lawrence
who, by wife Rebecca, had dr. Rebecca, bap. in ihe 1st Church of Boston, Feb.
1, 1679-80, and who d. Nov. 14, 1685. It is conjectured that the persons making
the following Will were his wife and daughter. The Will of Rebecca Law
rence (1 of Boston), dated July 18, proved Dec. 12, 1726, gives her estate to her
mother, Rebecca. The Will of wid. Rebecca Lawrence, dated Sept. 27, proved
Oct. 11, 1731, bequeathed her estate to her sisters, Margaret Davis, Ruth Royce,
Maria Frost, Hanna Davis ; nephew Wm. Whitcomb, and niece Huldah
Archibel. [Joseph Lawrence was witness to Broomfield's deed, Newbury, 1677.]
6. Mart, b. July 16, 1645; d. 1686-7; m., Aug. 25, 1663, Inego Potter, of
Charlestown. Chil. 1. John. 2. Richard. 3. Inego, bap. in Charlestown, Ap.

8. Enoch, b. Mar. 5, 1648-9.
9. Samuel, mentioned in his father's Will; probably the one who m., Sept. 14, 1682,
Rebecca Luen, of Charlestown. It is conjectured that he moved to Connecticut.
10. Isaac, mentioned in his father's Will; m., Ap. 19, 1682, Abigail Bellows,
b. in Concord, May 6, 1661, dr. of John and Mary (Wood) Bellows [see " Bel
lows Family, of Walpole, N. H."]. Isaac Lawrence, and wife Abigail, of Nor
wich, Conn., heirs of their uncle, Dea. Isaac Woods, of Marlboro, executed a
deed, Feb. 26, 1718-19.]
11. Elizabeth, b. in Boston, May 9, 1655.
12. Jonathan, mentioned in his "father's Will. He d. 1725. Perhaps he was the
one who m., in Camb., Nov. 5, 1677, Rebecca Rutter. If so, they d. s. p., for
Jonathan, of Groton, in his Will, does not mention wife or children ; but he gave
to the town of Groton £100 ; to the Church of Christ, in Groton, £40, to be laid
out for the procuring some silver vessel or vessels for the church's use, as they
shall order. Also, £20, the income to be annually paid or accounted for to the
settled or ordained minister.
13. Zechariah, b. in Wat., Mar. 9, 1658-9. He was probably the Zechariah Law
rence, of Boston, mariner, master of the "Success," against whom a suit for
wages was brought in 1691. (By 2d wife, Susanna.)
14. Abigail, b. in Groton, Jan. 9, 1665-6.
15. Susanna, b. July 3, 1667, eight days before the d. of her father.

f,IL) JOHN LAWRENCE, m., about 1657, SUSANNA  , and lived probably
in Charlestown. " He is named on the list of those who paid county rate." His
Inventory, amounting to £160 8s., was taken June 17, 1670, by John Pentecost
and John Burrage. It included 1 shallop, £40, house and wharf, £90. His wid.
Susanna, m. in Charlestown, Aug. 15, 1676, Thomas Tarball, Sen. [see Tarball].
He d. previous to 1680-1, for wid. Susanna Tarball was adm. to Charlestown
Church, Mar. 6, 1680-1; Hannah and Abigail Lawrence, drs. of wid. Tarball,
bap. in Charlestown, Ap. 24, 1681; John, youngest son of wid. Tarball, bap.
Mar. 3, 1681-2. In Court, in 1681, the age of Hannah Lawrence was slated to
be 20 yrs., and that of Abigail Lawrence to be 19 yrs. [Perhaps it will yet be
discovered that this John Lawrence was a son of Henry and Christian Lawrence,
of Charlestown.]

(IV.) Capt. ISAAC LAWRENCE, m. (lst) LYDIA HEWITT, who d. Nov. 14,

aged 88 yrs. 9 m. and 23 d.; and his wid. survived him 26 years. '¦' In the
spring of 1738, with a team composed of a yoke of oxen and a horse, he started,
with his family and goods in a cart, for his new home, in what was then called
the New or Western country," and he reached Canaan, the place of his destina
tion, June 2, 1738. The last 30 miles of the journey was through a heavily
wooded forest, without house, or road, or bridge, over streams too deep to be
forded. It is said that nine days, some say fourteen days, were occupied in
making this part of the journey, from New Hartford to Canaan. He first en
camped under an oak tree, and soon after made a temporary shelter in the side
of a hill, half under ground, in which he lived until the next spring, when he
built a house on the lot opposite to the saw-mill. A few years afterwards, he built
a second house, and in 1751, he built the house which has been long known as
the Lawrence Tavern, and which he occupied until about 1786, when he relin
quished the care of it to his son Jonas, with whom he lived until his decease.
His stature was six feet, and erect, frame large, but not fleshy; was intelligent
and sociable, with a pleasant countenance. In business, he was active and cor
rect, and his character unblemished. By occupation he was a farmer, but, having
a good deal of mechanical ingenuity, he used to do some work for himself, and
neighbors, as a carpenter and joiner, and is said to have superintended the erection
of the first meeting-house in Canaan.
"He accumulated a valuable property, owned several large farms, which he
kept under cultivation ; was the owner of twenty slaves at one time, to whom he
gave their freedom before his death, with the exception of one, who was liberated
by his heirs, making provision for the aged and infirm, and contributing to the
comfort of others who were needy." He held many town offices, and was Rep
resentative to the General Assembly, in 1765. He was at first a member of the
Cong. Church, now in South Canaan. In 1769, he and his wife were dis
missed to the church in North Canaan. [For more particulars respecting his

was in the field, when, mounting his horse, he rode through the adjoining towns,
giving the alarm, and returned in season to join his company at the meeting
house. In the battle of Bunker Hill, he received a slight wound, and his hat and

meeting-house bell called out the minute men, whereupon he parted from his
bride as soon as the rite was finished, and marched to Rhode Island. He soon
returned on a furlough of a few days, after which she did not see him again until
after the birth of their first-born. He continued in the service until the close of

(VI.) WILLIAM LAWRENCE, Esq., at first a farmer, of Groton ; sometimes
teaching in the winter; afterwards a merchant, of Boston, where he was very
successful. He was proprietor of his father's homestead, and he evinced his
liberal spirit, and his interest in the prosperity of his native town, and in the good
education of the rising generations, by giving to Lawrence Academy, a perma
nent endowment of fifteen thousand dollars ($15,000). " He was a member of
the State Legislature for several years, and he took an active part in effecting that

(VI.) AMOS LAWRENCE, Esq., of Boston. He engaged early in mercantile
life, as a clerk in Groton, where he remained until he attained his majority. He
then, in Ap. 1807, went to Boston, and, after serving a short time as a clerk, he
so far won the favor of his employers, by his energy and sagacity, that they pro
posed lo him a partnership in their firm, which, however, he wisely declined.
The next Dec. (1807), he commenced business on his own account. His busi
ness increased rapidly, and was attended with unvarying prosperity. He invited
his brother Abbott to Boston, and, when arrived at the proper age, made him a
full partner in business. Then originated that mercantile house (A. and A. Law
rence), of which he was the head about fort}' years, and which, for success and
honorable repute, has probably never been surpassed in New England.
His success is not attributable to good luck in hazardous adventures, but to a
rare sagacity and energy, that "commanded uniform and great success. His
judgment was shown not merely in his purchases, and in the lines of business on
which he entered, but also in the selection of agents, clerks, and partners, and
in deciding «vhom he might safely trust. He never, or very rarely, made bad
debts. It is said, there has been no man in Boston, who took hold of business
with the same grasp and energy. Quick in his perceptions, deciding as by in
tuition, and prompt in action, he is said to have had, in those days, little
patience with the slow, the inefficient, the dainty, or those who felt above their
business." He continued in active business for twenty-five years. At the end of that time
he was so suddenly, and so deeply prostrated, by drinking cold water when
heated, that for many days he was not expected to recover. Although he sur
vived this attack about 20 years, his health continued very delicate, and he often
had sudden attacks of such severity, that he did not expect to survive. After this
failure of his health, " he gave no attention to the details of business, but re
mained the senior partner of the firm, giving counsel and general direction, being
consulted and relied on in all questions of difficulty and importance."
It is extremely rare to find in the same person such an earnest disposition,
united with such ample ability, to do good. A simple detail of the events of his
life — of his beneficence, and the wise discretion, and kindly manner in which it
was accomplished — would be a better eulogium on this munificent benefactor,
than any highly wrought rhetoric. Fidelity to the cause of humanity, by holding
up for imitation so worthy an example, demands those details to be stated now,
which could not have been done in his lifetime, without wounding the sensibility
of one, who unfeignedly shunned notoriety. But it does not comport with the
plan and scope of this work to enter into such details. [For a delineation of his
character and services, see the Sermon of his pastor, Rev. Dr. S. K. Lolhrop;
Prof. Packard's Hist, of the Bunker Hill Monument; but especially the excellent
discourse of President Hopkins, " Commemoration of Amos Lawrence."]

obtain a renewal of the license until 1764. The next year her son Abijah obtained a

Prentice, and moved to Cambridge. In 1770 the house was taken and kept about
two years by another son, Bezaleel. Admin, on estate of wid. Mary Learned was

852 LINTON. — LIVERMORE.
LINTON. — It is supposed that Richard Linton, of Wat., went to Concord, and re
sided a few years (1638 to 1642), and there bore the name of Lettin ; and that thence
he moved to Lancaster with the first settlers. Richard Lynton was at Mr. Cradock's
plantation, in Sept., 1630.
p. 338. LIVERMORE.— [1.] It is probable that John Livermore settled first in
Watertown, and very soon went to Connecticut, with other Watertown people. In the
first place, a large portion of the passengers of the Francis, with whom he embarked
at Ipswich, in Ap., 1634, settled in Watertown. In the second place, he was adm.
freeman with several other Watertown men, in May, 1635. In the third place, his name
is on a list of very early proprietors of Watertown. This list is not dated, but it con
tains the names of many of those, who went to Wethersfield and Dedham, in 1635 and
36. The first notice of him in Connecticut, was in 1639, when he, then of New
Haven, signed the fundamental agreement of the
New Haven colony. His autograph may be seen in T~f /• __
vol. i., p. 1, of the Col. Rec of New Haven. It is not J°rv*-t^9*--nioy-&-
improbable lhat he went to Wethersfield, and remained
there until the settlement of New Haven was projected, when he and Robert Seely joined
the planters of that town. He was " admitted a member of the Court" (i. e. made a
freeman of the colony), Oct. 29, 1640, and took the oath of allegiance, July 1, 1644.
June 11, 1645, "It was proposed that another ordinary might be set up towards the
waterside," and it was "left with John Livermore to consider of it." [Col. Rec. of N. H.,
I., p. 103.] His home lot, which has been identified, was on the west side of Fleet
Street, next but one to the Harbor. May 17, 1647, Joseph Nash was chosen corporal,
" in room of John Livermore, who expects to go to England." His name does not
appear in the records again, until Jan., 1648-9, after an interval of about 20 months; and
it is probable that he was in England. May 7, 1650, "John Livermore hath sould
and passeth to Theophilus Higginson, his house and house-lot J acre and 10 perches ;
8 acres \, 15 rods on this side the West River, next the land of Richard Beach; 6£
acres 25 rods, on the other side the West River, next Milford highway, by the meadow
side; 28 acres of the 2d division, betwixt the lands of Edward Banister and Richard
Osborne ; 5 acres of meadow in the West Meadow, next meadow of Henry Gibbons;
3 acres of meadow in Solitary Cove, with the work-houses, with the land belonging
to them; bounded with stump of a tree next the sea, running along the creek to the
end of the house — being in breadth so wide as the house is." [Col. Rec, N. Haven,
II, p. 18.]
It is probable that Mr. Livermore left New Haven, about the date of this sale, as his
name does not afterwards occur in the records. It has nol been ascertained whether
he went directly to Watertown, but it is probable, as he was a juror in July, 1653.
From the rule for assessing in New Haven, it appears that John Livermore had a wife
and two children when he went there, or soon after, as he was rated for four persons
[not including servants], and £100 estate. In the first "seating the meeting-house,"
in 1642, seats were assigned to John Livermore, and to " sister Livermore." Chil

[10.] The " Cowpen Farm," upon which Lieut. John Livermore settled, was on or near
the border of Sudbury, and he was a member of Sud. Church, until the organization
of Weston Church (" the Farmer's Church"), of which he was an original member.
Elizabeth, his dr. (probably by his 2d wife), was adm. f. c Weston, 1728, and d. May

W. by Robert Jennison ; E. by R. Jennison and Nathaniel Greene [son, and heir of
Rev. Henry Greene] ; S. by Capt. Hugh Mason. The 20 acres of meadow belonging
to it, were near Nonesuch Meadow. Oct. 22, 1695, John Grout, Sen., of Sud., con
veyed lo [his son-in-law] John Livermore, of Watertown [Farms], a tract of land,
situated between Dedham line, Wat. line, and Sud. line ; adjoining partly 200 acres,
granted by the General Court lo William Jennison, of Watertown ; bounded S. by
Dedham line; N. by Sud. line; E. by Wat. line; W. by the 200 A. above-mentioned,
now in the possession of Matthew Bice. Nov. 21, 1712, John Livermore conveyed

[50.] Matthew Livermore, grad. Harv. Coll, 1722, " schoolmaster of the town," was
adm. f. c. to the West [Waltham] Church, Feb. 18, 1725-6. He had been the school
master most, if not all of the time after his graduation. This shows an error of dates
in the Annals of Portsmouth, as to the time of his settling there. He probably went
to Portsmouth in 1726, was master of the grammar-school until 1731, when he was
admitted and sworn as an attorney-at-law. Soon afterward, Gov. Belcher [who was
a distant relative], appointed him Attorney-General for the Province, and advocate
for the King in Courts of Admiralty. " He was serious in his deportment, exem
plary in his conduct, and firm in his belief of the truths of the gospel." [See Annals
of Portsmouth, p. 261.] It has not been ascertained that he ever married.
[55.] Ap. 2, 1725, John Robbins, of Camb, was appointed guardian of Abigail, dr. of

p. 353. LOCKWOOD. — Edmund Lockwood applied to be adm. freeman, Oct. 1630,
and was adm. May 18, 1631. He was foreman of a jury appointed by the Court,
Nov. 9, 1630, on a trial for murder. He, " Mr. Lockwood," was one of the two per
sons appointed by the Court, May 9, 1632, for New Towne, to confer with the Court,
" about the raising of a publick stock." At the same time he was appointed constable
of New Towne. He d. previous to Mar. 3, 1634-5, when his wid. Ruth [? Elizabeth]
was ordered by the Court to place all writings left by her husband in the hands of
John Haynes, &c It is very probable that he was one of those first planters of Water-
town who went thither with Sir Richard Saltonstall ; that upon the planting of .New
town, the next year, either he moved thither, or he had settled so far to the East as to
be within the bounds assigned to Newtown, and that he was brother of Robert Lock-
wood, of Watertown, who was executor of his estate. This supposition is favored by
the fact, 1st, that on the 3 lst of March, 163 1 (before New Town was planted), he was a
surety for Nicholas Knapp, of Watertown. 2dly. On the 7th of April, 1635, the General
Court referred to the church of Watertown, with the consent of Robert Lockwood,
exec'r of Edmund Lockwood, deceased, to dispose of the elder children of said E. L.,
and the estate given to them, at their discretion ; to take account of the said Robert
Lockwood, and give him a full discharge. It is probable that he had two wives, the
first of whom was mother of " the elder children," assigned to the care of Wat. Church.
His 2d wife was Elizabeth, dr. of John Masters, of Wat, by whom he had a son John,
b. in Newtown, Nov. 1632. After his decease, his wid. Elizabeth m. Cary Latham,
of Newtown, who moved to New London, Conn., and by him she had several chil.

LONGLEY. — MABERRY. — M'COSKRY. — MACKLENNING. — MACOMBER. 855
It is probable that all of the name of Lockwood in New England are descended from
Robert and Edmund, and there is not much doubt but that there is a misnomer of the
widow of Edmund, in the Court Records of Massachusetts Bay, as printed, I. p. 134,
and Index.
LONGLEY.— See Crispe, in Part II."
MABERRY. — Mar. 10, 1746-7, Chelmsford cautioned against (settlement of)
Richard Maberry, from Wat.
M'COSKRY.— See p. 842, note.
MACKLENNING.— Jan. 18, 1720-1, John Harrington, [171 of Lex, admonished

lodged him a great part of his time in the barn.
p. 354. MACOMBER.— See Geneal. Reg. vii, p. 180.
MADDOCK.— [2.] A letter of John Maddock, of Wat, dated Jan. 16, 1698-9, says,
that since the last he had a son [Henry], born, named for his grandfather, and it ap
pears that he had an uncle, John Maddock, of Barbadoes, at that time. Admin, was
granted to wid. Ruth Maddock, Mar. 1, 1702-3. His Inventory was dated Feb. 26,
1702-3. Joseph Child, her 2d husband, by whom she had 3 chil, d. Nov. 3, 1711,
and she m. (3d), Thomas Ingersol, of Springfield. The homestall of John Maddock
(house and two-thirds acre; in the sale of it to Jonas Bond, called 1 acre), was on the
S. side of the river, probably in Newton, bounded E. by highway; S. and W. by
Stephen Cook; N. by Samuel Stowell.
[3.] Joseph Chadwick was of Maiden in 1731.
[6.] Thomas Ward was of Pomfret, Conn, in 1731.
[7.] Henry Maddock was a tailor, of Wells, in 1731.
[8.] Caleb Maddock was of Pomfret, Conn, in 1732.
[9.] Joanna Maddock m. Edward Oakes, of Medford, in 1731.
[10.] Family records say that John Maddock m. Rebecca Stone [38] ; town records say
Elizabeth. The last must be erroneous.
MAGINNAH.— Ap. 4, 1682, selectmen of Wat. stated to the Court that Daniel
Maginnah, an Irishman, is lately removed from Medford, and hired estate of Richard
Houlding, having a poor place, and considerable family of children, and they disap
prove of him as an inhabitant. Daniel Maginnah and Rose Neal, m. in Woburn, Feb.
10, 1676-7, and had one or more chil. b. there.
p. 355. MARCH. — Mar. 10, 1741-2, Camb. cautioned against (settlement of) William
March, and his family, from Wat, he being an enlisted soldier at Castle William, and
at the time of enlistment an inhabitant of Watertown.

the Francis, of Ipswich, John Cutting, master, the last of Ap, 1634. Lieut. Hugh
Mason was accepted as Captain by the Court, in Ap. 1652. He was, by the General
Court, first appointed Commissioner to end small causes hi May, 1643; and in May,
1658, upon the request of the inhabitants of Watertown, he was " empowered to solemnize
marriages at Watertown." This was very soon after the removal of Elder Richard
Browne to Charlestown. Ap. 1658, he was, by the County Court, made one of the
committee on the house of correction. Wid. Hester d. May 21, 1692.

an ordinary. He was discharged June 4, 1639, a few months before he died. [See
Lockwood, also Tabor, in Part II.]
MAYHEW. — It is probable that Mr. Thomas Mayhew arrived in 1631, as he was
chairman of the committee which reported to the Court, Mar. 6, 1631-2, the boundary
between Charlestown and Newtown. For the ensuing 13 years, it appears by the
Colonial Records, that few, if any, other persons so often received important appoint
ments from the General Court. It would require a large space to enumerate them.
He was one of the first Commissioners appointed for Watertown, to end small causes
in 1638, and held the office by re-appointment, until 1642. For other town offices,
see p. 364. Oct. 10, 1641, James Forett, agent of the Earl of Stirling, granted to
Thomas Mayhew, of Watertown, and his son Thomas, Nantucket, and two small
islands adjacent; and on the 23d of the same month, he granted to them Martha's
Vineyard, and the Elizabeth Islands. Of these, Mr. Mayhew was constituted
Governor. [Hutchinson's Hist. I, p. 161.] While in Watertown, he built the first
bridge over Charles River, about 1641 (only a foot-bridge); was temporarily pro
prietor of the Mill, of the fishing-wears, of the Oldham Farm, and of the Bradstreet
Farm, in Cambridge Village (now Newton). It is probable that his son, and others
with him, went to Martha's Vineyard, soon after the grant was made, and that Mr.
Mayhew, Sen, did not move there, until the spring or summer of 1645, as he signed
the report of a committee, as chairman, Dec. 7, 1644, which was presented to the
Court the next May; and his place on a committee was supplied by another appoint
ment the next October.
On the 14th Oct., 1647, Thomas Paine, son of Thomas Paine, of London, deceased, 15
years old and upwards, chooses Thomas Mayhew, "now of the Vineyard," my father-
in-law, and Grace, his wife, my (?) mother-in-law, guardians till 21 years of age,
which' will be 8th Feb., 1652. It is probable that this was Thomas Mayhew, Jr., and
that Jane was the last wife of Thomas, Sen.

Jackson's Hist, of Newton.] For Black (Island), read Block.
* The General Court granted the " Oldham farm" to Mr. Oldham, Ap. 1, 1634. He mortgaged this grant (which
was not ordered to be laid out until June 2,1641, sometime after his decease) to Mr. Cradock; Mr. Cradock

The land was appraised Mar. 21, 1648-9, at £70, and was to lie measured out at the charge of Mr. Mayhew. In a
few instances, in the records, it is called " the Dummer Farm."

862 OLDHAM.
Mr. John Oldham arrived at Plymouth, in the ship Ann, in July, 1623. That he was a
man of comparative wealth and importance, may be inferred -from the fact, that in
the allotments in Plymouth, in 1624 (the first ever allotted "in continuance"), ten
acres were assigned to him, which was a considerably larger lot than any other
person received. The next largest, 7 acres, was that of Mr. Allerton. All the others,
including those of Gov. Bradford, and Elder Brewster, were still less. It is supposed
that besides wife and children, he had servants, which entitled him to so large a lot.
We may also infer his good repute and respectable social rank from the circumstance,
that the Governor invited him, so soon after his arrival, to a seat in his council.
Morton says [Memorial, p. 122], " Mr. Oldham was a man of parts, but high-spirited
and extremely passionate, which marred all in right improvement of them."
The next spring, soon after the arrival of Mr. Lyford in Plymouth, he and Oldham
became intimately associated together, and by their perverse conduct, gave so much
disquietude to Plymouth, that in the summer of 1624, Oldham was banished, with
orders to depart immediately, and forbidden ever to return ; but his wife and family
had " leave to stay the winter, or till he can make provision to move them comfort
ably." He went to Nantasket, probably accompanied by the worthy Mr. Roger
Conant, and not long after was followed thither by Mr. Lyford. The next April, 1625,
Mr. Oldham returned to Plymouth, without leave (perhaps for his family), and, says
Morton, " suffered his unruly passion to run beyond the bounds and limits of all reason
and modesty," so that he was again expelled immediately, with the greatest indignity.
The great offence of these three gentlemen and their adherents, was their attachment to
Episcopacy, and a man of Mr. Oldham's talents and temperament was not likely to
maintain a controversy with ihe authorities of Plymouth in an inoffensive tone, espe
cially when he coincided in sentiment with a majority of Plymouth Company, in
England. These circumstances are to be remembered, when reading the opprobrious
disparaging language of Bradford, Morton, and others.
In 1624, the Dorchester adventurers began a settlement at Cape Ann, and having heard
that " some religious persons removed from Plymouth to Nantasket, from dislike of
theirrigidprinciples,"in 1625 ihey chose Mr. Conant to manage their affairs of planting
and fishing (i. e, to be Governor), :'Mr. Oldham to manage the trade with the natives,"
and "Mr. Lyford to be minister of the plantation." After remaining at Nantasket
more than a year, Conant, Lyford, and others, removed to Cape Ann, in the autumn
of 1625, but Mr. Oldham did not accept ihe appointment, choosing to " stay at Nantas
ket, and trade for himself."
In 1626, about a. year after being driven a second time from Plymouth, Mr. Oldham
entered upon a voyage to Virginia, was wrecked on Cape Cod, and his life was in
extreme peril. This was supposed to have led to a change in his character ; certainly
he gave such evidence of it, as to regain the favor and confidence of the Colony he
had so much offended. They gave him " liberty to come and converse with us [of
Plymouth] at his pleasure ;" and in 1628, they intrusted to him the charge of Morton,
the Merry Mount rioter, to transport him to England. Gov. Bradford, in his letter,
written on this occasion, says, "this bearer, Mr. John Oldham, who can give your
honors further information upon his oath, if need so require, whom we have sent
with the prisoner, and to attend to your lordships' pleasure."
' While Mr. Oldham was in England, he and John Dorrell purchased, of John Gorges,
younger brother and heir of Capt. Robert Gorges, a tract of land, extending from
Charles River to Abousett [Saugus] River, and from the border of the bay at the mouth
of Charles River, 5 miles into the country, and from the mouth of Abousett River 3
miles into the country. This tract of land seems to be a part of that which John
Gorges sold to Sir William Brereton on the 10th of Jan., 1629, and about which Mr.
Oldham and Sir William were both negotiating with the Massachusetts Company in
the spring of 1629. It is not easy to explain these apparently overlapping titles, from
the records of the Massachusetts Company in their letter of instructions to Gov.
Endicott. Neither is it apparent how the grant of the Plymouth Company to Capt.
Robert Gorges on the 22d of Dec, 1622, became so invalidated or annulled that the
same Company could afterwards rightfully grant the same to the Massachusetts
Company. The negotiations in 1629, between the latter Company and Sir William
Brereton and Mr. Oldham, show that the titles of these gentlemen from John Gorges
had at least some apparent validity; but how the conflicting claims were adjusted has
not been ascertained. There is, however, good reason to conjecture, that the greater
power of the Company, and their legal astuteness, had much to do in this adjustment,
if such it would be called, and that the old adage was verified, might makes right.

OLDHAM. 863
Gov. Cradock, in his first letter of instructions to Gov. Endicott, dated Ap. 17, 1629,
after mentioning the troubles occasioned by Mr. Oldham's claim, says, "And because
we would not omit to do anything which might strengthen our right, we would have
you (as soon as these ships, or any of them, arrive, whereby you may have men to
do it), send forty or fifty persons to Massachusetts Bay, to inhabit there; which we
pray you not to protract, but to do with all speed, &c, whereby the better to strengthen
our possession there against all or any that shall intrude upon us, which we would not
have you by any means to give way unto."
The conclusion of this letter is remarkable. After stating fully the extent of Mr. Oldham's
grant, and that William Blaxton, clerk, and William Jeffreys, agent, were authorized
to put Mr. Oldham in possession, he says, " Having a sight of his grant, this I found,
though I hold it void in law, yet, his claim being to this, you may, in your discretion,
prevent him, by causing some to take possession of the chief part thereof." In the summer
of 1629, in accordance with this direction, Gov. Endicott sent a few settlers to take
possession of Charlestown, which was nearly the central point of Mr. Oldham's grant.
There is nothing, either in the two general letters of instructions of the Massachusetts
Bay Company to Governor Endicott, or in the records of that Company, that exhibits
Mr. Oldham as anything less than a frank, highminded man, confident of the justice
of his claim.
Mr. Oldham is said to have returned to America in 1629; but we find no mention of
him in any records until he was admitted freeman, May 18, 1631, the earliest date of
any such admission. The precise date of his settlement in Watertown has not been
ascertained, but it must have been very early, if not coeval with the first planting
thereof. It is evident that a more truly catholic spirit, and more just ideas of civil and
religious liberty prevailed among the first settlers of Watertown, than in either of the
other very early plantations about the Bay. As evidence of this, we may refer to Win
throp for the accusation against Elder Richard Browne, the treatment he received,
and the ground assumed by Mr. Phillips ; also, the arraignment and trial of Rev.
George Phillips, Elder Richard Browne, and others, of Watertown, for expressing their
opinions respecting representation and taxation ; also, to the arraignment, a little later,
of Capt. William Jennison, for expressing privately his opinion about the course pursued
by the British Parliament; also, to that admirable letter of Sir Richard Saltonstall, the
founder of Watertown, to the ministers of Boston, on account of their "tyranny and
oppression, — fining, whipping and imprisoning men for their consciences." These
things enable us to understand why Mr. Phillips, a man of such fully acknowledged
talents, learning, and piety, is found to have' had little or nothing to do with the
illiberal politico-ecclesiastical policy of that day, and why the high-spirited John Old
ham should attach himself to the Watertown people, who, at the earliest opportunity,
manifested their respect and confidence by conferring on him their most important
political trusts.
But the respect entertained for Mr. Oldham, and the confidence in his talents and
integrity, were not confined to the Watertown people. In May, 1632, soon after the
notable resistance of the Watertown people to taxation without representation, and before
the institution of a body of deputies or representatives, it was ordered by the General
Court, " that there should be two of every plantation appointed to confer with the
Court about raising of a public stock," that is, the levying taxes for public uses. These
appointments were made by the Court, and the first name on the list of appointments
was that of Mr. Oldham. He was a member of the first meeting of deputies of the
several plantations in Massachusetts Bay, in May, 1634, and he was made chairman
of the first committee appointed by that Court, viz., to draw a plot for the enlargement
of Boston at Mount Woolliston. In Sept. 1634, the Court appointed him " overseer of
the powder and shot, and all other ammunition'' for the plantations of Watertown and
Medford. At the same Court, he was made chairman of a committee (consisting of
nine honored names), with " power to set out the bounds of all towns not yet set out,
or in difference betwixt any town." He was not afterwards elected deputy, probably
on account of his intended removal to Connecticut. But in May, 1635, although not
deputy, he was one of the committee appointed to consider and report upon "the act
of Mr. Endicott, in defacing the [king's] colors." ' This subject was brought before
the Court of Assistants, " in the name of the rest of the freemen, upon complaint made
by Elder Richard Browne, of Watertown, who argued the offence as a matter of an high
nature."
There is reason to believe that Mr. Oldham is entitled to the honor of being the pioneer,
the projector of the first plantation on the Connecticut, or in that state. Winthrop says

864 OLDHAM. — ONGE. — OZMENT.
[I, p. Ill], "John Oldham, and three with him, went overland to Connecticut, to
trade," lodging at Indian towns all the way. The date of his departure is not given,
but Mr. Oldham brought back so favorable a report, that in Sept, 1633, a bark was
sent thither to trade. Whether Mr. Oldham went in her, it is not stated, but it is very
probable; for Winthrop says, Nov. 5, 1634, "the Rebecka came from Narragansett
with five hundred bushels of corn, given to Mr. John Oldham. The Indians had
promised him one thousand bushels, but their store fell out less than they expected.
Canonicus gave him also an island in Narragansett Bay, called Chippacursett [? Pru
dence Island, said by Roger Williams to be " spectacle- wise"], containing about one
thousand acres, six miles long and two miles broad." [See Mass. Hist. Coll., 3d ser.
I, p. 165.]
In May, 1634, the people of Cambridge (Newtown), obtained permission of the Court
"to seek out some convenient place .... to which they may remove their habitations."
The next Sept. they asked leave to remove to Connecticut River, whither they were
probably induced to go by the favorable report of Mr. Oldham. This application met
with strong opposition from the Assistants, because they proposed to remove beyond
their jurisdiction ; and such inducements were offered for the relinquishment of their
proposed removal, that Mr. Hooker and his company did not migrate to Connecticut
until May, 1636, when they commenced the settlement of Hartford. It is said that,
in their first project for a removal, it was their intention to settle on the beautiful
meadows of Pyquag. In the meantime, during their delay, Mr. Oldham and a
company of his fellow-townsmen, took possession of Pyquag, and named it Water-
town, which name it retained until Feb. 21, 1636-7, when the Court named it Wethers
field. It is said that a party of Watertown men went to Pyquag in 1634, and remained
there with much danger and suffering during the ensuing winter. The next spring,
May 6, 1635, the Court granted "liberty to the inhabitants of Watertown to remove to
any place they shall think meet to make choice of, provided they shall continue under
this jurisdiction." Very soon, and without strict regard to this proviso, they went and
settled at Pyquag.
Although Winthrop (July 20, 1636), noticing the death of Mr. Oldham, calls him "a
member of Watertown congregation," there is little doubt but that he was one of the
colony that went and planted Pyquag. The settlement of his estate is the earliest one
to be found'in the Connecticut Court Records, and his Inventory was presented to a
Court held at Watertown (Wethersfield) Sept. 1, 1636. At the same time, the Court
ordered, " that Thurston Raynor [of Wethersfield], as he hath hitherto done, so shall
continue to look to and preserve the corn of Mr. Oldham, and shall inn [gather in] the
same in a seasonable time." This shows that he was a planter of Wethersfield, and
probably went there in 1635. [See The Public Records of the Colony of Connecticut,
Vol. I, Index.] He left his business unsettled in Massachusetts Bay; for on the 6th
Sept., 1636, the Court " ordered that Mr. [Gov.] Haynes, Mr. Harlakenden, and In
crease Nowell, or any two of them, should examine business concerning Mr. Oldham's
estate and debts, and Mr. Hutchinson and Mr. Mayhew to gather up the debts and
estate, and be accountable to the Court."
Mr. Oldham had a family at Plymouth in 1624, but no later reference to it has been dis
covered. As, however, he had a house in Watertown, near the wear, burnt, Aug. 14,
1632, probably he had a family there. Whether the following named youths were his
sons, or otherwise akin to him, has not been ascertained. John Oldham, aged 12
years, and Thomas Oldham, aged 10 years, embarked for New England, May 14, 1635,
in the Elizabeth and Ann, Roger Cooper, master. There were families of the name
of Oldham in Cambridge for many years afterwards, of whom we have obtained no
satisfactory record or information. [See Saltonstall, 35, in Part II, note.]

of Capt. John Sherman, must have been her step-daughter. After his decease, she
returned to Watertown, and m. (3d), Roger Porter. Elizabeth, wife of Daniel Smilh

About 1650, William Palmer, of Hampton, agreed to release to his son-in-law, John
Sherman, of Watertown, land in Great Ormsby, Co. Norfolk, England. Probably he
came from that place. There was a William Palmer, who arrived at Plymouth, in

The farm of Richard Park, Sen, was contiguous to the small parcel of land, belonging
to Watertown, on the south side of Charles River; and it is probable, that his resi
dence was, at an early date, within the bounds of Watertown. Oct. 19, 1652, he was
debtor to the ministry of Watertown, £2; and on the 22d Aug., 1659, the selectman
ordered that Richard Parks and wife, be not allowed abiding in the town [town
record]. May, 1664, he sold to James Keebe, a horse, valued at £6, for which he
was to build a frame house. Ap. 3, 1666, Hugh Mason, Thomas Wiswall, and Ed
ward Jackson, were appointed to set off the portion of Sarah, wid. of Richard Park,
his second wife, and not the mother of his children. Love Brewster, of Dux, the

Thomas Park her life-estate in the estate of Richard Park.

Drake's History of Boston, pp. 322-4. At a town meeting, Dec. 10, 1649, a small
grant was made to Hugh Parsons. Oct. 22, 1653, money was granted "to make a
house" for him. Jan. 31, 1659-60, the selectmen ordered some corn to be supplied to
Hugh Parsons, for his family. Among the expenses Dec. 29, 1663, are corn and
silver furnished to H. Passam (Parsons), when his wife was sick, and H. Godden's,
bill for dressing his leg. He had lands, but needed aid on account of his infirmities.

.. 402. PENDLETON. — Mr. Bryan Pendleton was the first of the petitioners for a
grant of Sudbury. In May, 1640, he was desired by the Court, " to train the company
at Sudbury." After this, he returned and resided some years in Watertown. In 1661,
the selectmen of Portsmouth granted Capt. Pendleton, liberty " to up his windmill
upon the Fort-point, towards the beach, because the mill is of such use to the
public." Major Pendleton "possessed a large estate," probably much larger than any-
other in Portsmouth. [See Annals of Portsmouth, p. 63.] His Will, dated Ports
mouth, Aug. 9, 1677, proved Ap. 5, 1681, mentions wife Eleanor, son James; grand
child, James Pendleton, Jr., and grandchild, Pendleton Fletcher; granddaughters,
Mary and Hannah Pendleton, " which my son had by his former wife ;" gr. son Brian
Pendleton. Besides house, household goods, and land in Portsmouth, he possessed
housing and land at Cape Porpus; 640 acres east side of Westbrook, near Saco
Falls; 100 A. upland, and 10 A. meadow, bought of John Bush, in the township of
Cape Porpus, adjoining Prince's Rock; " my several islands in or near Cape Porpus;
my farm at Winter Harbor;" three plantations or lots in Wells, and "land on the
great island Piscataqua." [See Geneal. Reg. Ill, p. 122.] James Pendleton, m. (2d)

is written Joanna, but it is signed Annah. Sept. 30, 1672, Capt. Hugh Mason made a

PHILBRICK.— Philbrick, succeeds Phillips.
PHILLIPS. — Henry Phillips went from Wat. to Dedham about 1636, as a candidate
for the office of teacher in the Church. He m. Anne, a daughter of John Dwight,
who also went from Wat. to Dedham. He returned to England in 1642 [Winthrop,
II, p. 389]. What affinity there was, if any, between Rev. George Phillips, this
Henry Phillips, and Hannah Phillips "of Watertown," who m, Sept. 1, 1638, Joseph
Morse, first of Dedham, afterwards of Medfield, has not been ascertained. Henry
Phillips was ensign, of Dedham, in 1648 [Colon. Rec. II, p. 258]. Hannah, wid. of
Joseph Morse, m, in 1658, Thomas Boyden, an early settler of Watertown, then said
to be of Medfield. In her Will, dated 1676, she mentions her daughters Elizabeth
and Sarah Lawrence [see 23, p. 821, and 32, p. 822].
Rev. GEORGE PHILLIPS, the first minister of Watertown, was ason of Christopher Phillips,
" mediocris fortunes, " of Rainham, St. Martin, Co. Norfolk. He entered Gonville and
Caius Coll, Camb, Ap. 20, 1610, then aged 17 years ; grad. B. A. 1613, and M. A.
1617. He gave early indications of deep piety, uncommon talents, and love of learn
ing, and at the University distinguished himself by his remarkable progress in learn
ing, especially in theological studies, for which he manifested an early partiality. He
was settled in the ministry at Boxford,* Co. Suffolk ; but his strong attachment to the
principles of the old nonconformists brought him into difficulty with some of his
hearers, and as the storm of persecution grew more dark and threatening, he resolved
to lake his lot with the Puritans, who were about to depart for the new world. On
the 12th of April, 1630, he, with his wife and two children, embarked for America in
the Arbella, as fellow-passenger with Governor Winthrop, Sir Richard Saltonstall, and
other assistants of ihe Massachusetts Company, and arrived at Salem June 12, where
his wife died very soon, and was buried by the side of Lady Arbella Johnson. Mr.
Phillips was adm. freeman May 18, 1631, the earliest date of any such admission.
He continued to be the minister of Watertown Church 14 years, greatly respected and
beloved, and he died the lst, and was buried the 2d of July, 1644, aged about 51
years. Winthrop [II, p. 171], says, he was "a godly man, specially gifted, and very
peaceful in his place, much lamented of his own people and others."
* (!) Boxted, Co. Essex.

PHILLIPS. 873
Mr. Phillips was distinguished for his learning in the original languages of the Scriptures,
and in theological doctrines. Mather says his hearers counted him " the irrefragable
Doctor ;" and Johnson says he was " mighty in the Scriptures, and very diligent to
search out the mind of Christ therein contained." He was independent and con
scientious in forming and maintaining his opinions. He had repeated theological con
troversies, in which he was characterized by candor and Christian urbanity. It is
evident, from the brief records of his life, that he brought with him less of the
ecclesiastical leaven of the old world than the rest of his brethren, and that he and
his people, especially Sir Richard Saltonstall and Mr. Richard Browne, entertained more
enlightened views of civil and religious liberty, or had a more just appreciation of it,
than then belonged to other planters of Massachusetts Bay. He was the earliest ad
vocate of the Congregational order and discipline, in which he was, says Hubbard,
deeply versed, and very skilful. His views were, for a time, regarded as novel, sus
picious, and extreme; and he, with his ruling elder, Mr. Richard Browne, stood al
most unaided and alone, until the arrival of Mr. John Cotton, in firmly maintaining
what was, and still is, the Congregationalism of New England.
Mr. Phillips and Mr. Richard Browne are entitled to another honor, much more dis
tinguished than has generally been conceded to them. When the Governor and
Assistants passed an order to tax the people, without their consent, they called together
the people of Watertown, and "delivered their opinions," that it was dangerous to
submit to it. For this they were arraigned before the Governor, and there was " much
debate" on the subject. The result seems to discredit the statement of Winthrop, that
" they confessed they were in error;" for very soon afterwards, before another attempt
was made to levy a tax, the Court ordered (May 9, 1632), that "two of every plantation
be appointed to confer with the Court, about raising of a public stock," and this soon led
to the institution of a representative body in the government of the Colony. It is not
now easy to estimate the extent and importance of the influence of Mr. Phillips in
giving form and character to the civil and ecclesiastical institutions of New England
[See Winthrop's Journal, in many places during Mr. Phillips's time; Hubbard's His
tory, p. 186; Mather's Magnalia, Book III, Part II, Chap. 4; also, Richard Browne, p.
117, and John Oldham, p. 863 ; Francis' History, pp. 13-38.]
His nuncupative Will was witnessed July 5th, and proved Sept. 6, 1644, by Dr. Simon
Eire and Apphia Freeman. [See Geneal. Reg. Ill, p. 78]. His Inventory, taken July
22, 1644, by the four Deacons, Ephraim Child, . »
ThomasHastings,NicholasGuy,and Simon Stone, (7~?sf>tiYf hfi M/Cfalak
amounted to £553 2s. 9rf. One item was "the J ttWff -tv**" - y~-
study of bookes £7 1 9s. 9d." U
The locality of Mr. Phillips's first residence in Watertown has not been clearly ascer
tained. It is conjectured that he first settled on the Cambridge road, near the
Camb. line, by the side of Sir. R. Saltonstall, and within the present limits of
Cambridge, and that he not long afterwards moved to the vicinity of the old grave
yard. "There is a tradition," says Dr. Francis, "that he lived in the house now
(1830), occupied by Mr. Daniel Sawin, opposite the old burying-ground." The
homestall of Samuel Saltonstall (bounded S. E. by Charles River, and separated from
the then boundary-line of Cambridge only by the intervening 13 A. homestall of
Thomas Brigham) was bounded N. W. by land of George Phillips. Samuel was the
only son of Sir R. Saltonstall, who settled permanently in Watertown, and it is pro
bable that his homestall was the one selected by his father. In the list of possessions
in Watertown, made out in compliance of an order passed in 1642, for the purpose of
assessments, the lands of Mr. Phillips are not included, probably because they were
exempt from taxation. The records show that he had liberal grants of land.
The first wife of Mr. Phillips, as already stated, died at Salem very soon after landing.
She was a daughter of Richard Sergent, and probably a half-sister of John Hayward, an
early settler of Watertown. They were probably children of the same mother, but of
different fathers. Cotton Mather says she was "an only child," that is, as we sup
pose, of her father. The grounds for this opinion are ihe following:
Nov. 12, 1644 (about 4 months after the d. of Mr. Phillips), " The General Court de
clared that they think it just and meet that Mrs. Phillips make over so much estate as
shall secure £100 to Samuel and Elizabeth Phillips, grandchildren of Richard Sergent, or
otherwise give bond with sureties [to] the consent and satisfaction of Capt. Cooke,
Mr. Sparhawk, and John Bridge, who are intrusted in the business by the Court ; this
security to be given in a month." In the margin of the original record, they are called
Mrs. Phillips's "son and daughter-in-law." The next year (1645), Dea. Ephraim

874 PHILLIPS.
Child and John Hayward (the supposed uncle of Samuel and Elizabeth Phillips),
petitioned the Court that Samuel Phillips, son of Rev. George Phillips, deceased, may
have maintenance assigned him out of his father's estate. This was asked for at this
time in behalf of Samuel, because he was commencing a collegiate education, and
not for his sister Elizabeth, because then probably not more than 16 or 18 years of age..
In the grants of the Beaver Brook plowlands, ordered in Sept. 1636, 40 acres were as
signed to Mr. Phillips, bounded E. by land of Edward How; S. by footway through
the plain to Beaver Brook ; N. by highway to Sudbury ; W. by land of Edward Gar
field. Ap. II, 1649, Samuel Phillips, student of Harvard College, for £16 10s., sold
to Edward Garfield the western half of his lot. May 17, 1651, Elizabeth Phillips,
widow and sole executrix of George Phillips, deceased, debtor to Job Bishop, of Ips
wich, New England, for a certain sum or sums of money due to Elizabeth Bishop, wife
cf said Job Bishop, and daughter of said George Phillips, deceased, conveyed to Job Bishop
and wife Elizabeth the eastern half of said 40 A. lot of Beaver Brook plowland, which
land Bishop and wife soon afterwards sold to Edward Garfield.
John Hayward, by his Will, dated July 31, 1672, then aged 79 [Mid. Prob. Rec. iii, p.
275] , divided his estate between his wife Mary and Samuel Phillips, of Rowley, whom
he appointed joint executors. [It is supposed that Elizabeth (Phillips) Bishop died
before 1657, s. p., and therefore is not referred to in this Will.]
Rev. Samuel Phillips, of Rowley, in his Will, mentions property bequeathed to him by
" my uncle Hayward."
Widow Mary Hayward, by her Will [Suff. Prob. vi, p. 456], bequeaths her estate to
persons who had only small legacies from her husband, John Hayward, and who
were her children by another husband ; but she does not mention any of the Phillips
family, which renders it very improbable that there was any consanguinity between
her and that family* [See Hayward, p. 793.]
Mr. Phillips m. (2d), ELIZABETH  . Nothing has been ascertained respecting her

June 27, 1681. By her Will, dated Oct. 20, 1674, wit. by Samuel Stearns and Nathaniel
Holland, she gives to "son Samuel all Latin, Greek, and Hebrew books now in the
house:" to Job Bishop, 1 shilling [his wife, her step-dr, being d.]; to James Barnard,
" who married my daughter Abial" (Abigail), 1 shilling [she had d. 1672, s. p.] ; to
sons Zerobabel, Jonathan, and Theophilus, the "rest of my estate."
Sept. 30, 1681, Samuel Phillips,..of Rowley (his mother-in-law being deceased) granted
a power of att'y to William Bond and Jonathan Pickard to act for him. Oct. 4, 1681,
admin, on estate of George Phillips was granted to Samuel Phillips, of Rowley, and
Jonathan Phillips, of Watertown. Dee. 20, 1681, William Bond, Joseph Tainter,
and Simon Stone, Sen, were appointed by the Court to divide Mr. Phillips's estate.
They reported Ap. 3, 1682, and the next day, Ap. 4, Capt. John Sherman, William
Bond, and Simon Stone, were appointed to divide the estate of " Mistress Phillips"
among her children. They reported that nothing could be done.

Chil. of Rev. GEORGE PHILLIPS.
. Samuel, b. at Boxstead, Co. Suffolk, England, 1625; grad. Harv. Coll. 1650. It
has been said that the expense of his education was assumed by the town, as a
token of respect for his father. This, however, may be questioned ; for, in the
first place, his father left a comparatively good estate for that period; and in the
next place, in 1645, before he entered college, his uncle, John Hayward, and
Dea. Ephraim Child, petitioned the Court that he might have a maintenance as
signed him out of his father's estate.
. Elizabeth, b. in England; m, previous to May 17, 1651, Job Bishop, of Ips
wich. As she is not mentioned, nor any heirs of her, in the Will of John Hay
ward; as wid. Elizabeth Phillips, in her Will, mentions Job Bishop, but not his
wife, and as Job Bishop had no children born (no birth recorded), before June
1657, it is presumed that his wife, Elizabeth (Phillips) d. early, s. p, and
that he had a 2d wife, who was the mother of his children. [Thomas Bishop,
merchant, of Ipswich, as early as 1636, d. Feb. 7, 1671, leaving wid. Margaret;
* June 7, 1705, Sarah Phillips, of Rowley, widow, sold to Benjamin Brown 34. acres, being: one-half of 7 acres
granted to John Hayward [Howard], being the 64th lot in Ihe division of remote meadow [in Wat. Farms.] On Sept.
5, 1704, Samuel Aldridge, tailor, Hannah Aldridge, widow, Thomas Aldridge, John Woodcock, and Sarah, his
wife, Eleazer Kingsbury, and Esther, his wife, sold to Benjamin Brown the other half of the said 7 acre lot. [See

(II.) Rev. SAMUEL PHILLIPS, settled in Rowley, in 1651, as colleague of Rev.
Ezekiel Rogers. He "was highly esteemed for his piety and talents, which were
of no common order, and he was eminently useful, both at home and abroad.
He officiated repeatedly at the great public anniversaries, which put in requisition
the abilities of the first men in the New Eng. Colonies. It is not known that any
of his productions were printed ; yet it is on record that, in 1675, he preached the
Artillery Election Sermon, and also the Election Sermon in 1678." [See Gage's
History of Rowley.] In Sept. 1687, an information was filed by one Philip
Nelson, against Rev. Samuel Phillips, of Rowley, for calling Randolph a wicked
man; and for this crime [redounding to his honor] he was committed to prison.

prefix " Mr," and was often elected a Rep. to the Gen. Court. In 1641, he had
permission to set up a malt-house, and he is said to have been a cultivator of
hops. He (S. A.), d. in Rowley, June 1670. probably at Mr. Phillips's house.] Mr.
Phillips d. Ap. 22, 1696, greatly beloved and lamented. His widow d. July

(V.) Hon. SAMUEL PHILLIPS, of Andover, grad. Harv. Coll. 1734. After
teaching a grammar school some time, he engaged in mercantile business in the
North Parish of Andover. In the winter of 1775-6, he was engaged in the
manufacture of gunpowder, and built a mill at great expense, which was blown
up in 1778, and three persons killed. In 1788, he built a paper-mill, which was
carried on by Phillips arid Houghton. He was often the Representative of Andover,
and member of the Executive Council before the Revolution, and in the Revo
lution was a staunch whig; was many years a civil magistrate, discharging the
duties thereof with the most exemplary fidelity. Such were the sternness and
precision of his manners, always frowning on vice and disorder, that they did not
contribute to his popularity. Early habits of exactness and economy in business
enabled him to accumulate a large estate, much of which he appropriated to the
public good. In 1778, Phillips Academy, in Andover, was founded by him and
his brother, Hon. John Phillips, of Exeter, by the gift to the Board of Trustees of
several valuable tracts of land, and £1614 in money. In the constitution of the
Academy, the founders declare that " the first and principal object of their in
stitution is the promotion of true piety and virtue."

of his father, and father of Rev. Edward Barnard, of Haverhill, grad. Harv. Coll.
1736, d. 1774. The property in North Andover now owned and occupied by the
Phillips family, came by the Barnard family.] " Her letters are very interesting,
and show her to have been a woman of great piety, and strong religious views."
An obituary notice of her in the Sentinel, in Nov. 1789, closes thus:
"Think what the mother, Christian, friend, should be,
You've then her character, for such was she."

become the pastpr of the church in Exeter. A correspondent says, " I have the
almanacks of Rev. J. Phillips, from 1739 to 1746 inclusive, but it is not known
that he ever accepted a pastoral charge, or was ordained." He engaged in mer
cantile pursuits, in which he was very prosperous. He was a Justice of the
Peace, and " was authorized to be, in some singular cases, one of the Judges of
the Superior Court." He was a trustee of Dart. Coll, 1773 to 1793, and founded
and endowed in that College, the Phillips Professorship of Theology. He aided
his brother in founding Phillips Academy in Andover, and made it a bequest
(one third of his estate), amounting to twenty thousand dollars. He was the

PHILLIPS, APP. I.— WHITE.
(I.) WILLIAM WHITE, b. 1610 ; landed at Ipswich, 1635. Tradition says, that
he came from Co. Norfolk, England ; but this has not been ascertained. " In
1635, the year he landed, the General Court ordered the bounds of Ipswich and
Quascacunquen (now Newbury), to be laid out, when some of the chief [people]
of Ipswich, desired leave to remove to Quascacunquen, to begin a settlement
which was granted them. Among those who moved to Newbury, were Rev.
Thomas Parker, Nicholas Noyes, Henry Sewall, William White, William Moody,
and Richard Kent." In 1640, William White removed to Haverhill, of which he
was one of the first settlers, and was one of the grantees of the Indian deed, of
Haverhill, dated Nov. 15, 1642; which instrument was, it is said, both written
and witnessed by him. The Haverhill town records, show that he held a very
respectable social position among the early settlers. His first wife, MARY, the
mother of his only child, d. Sept. 22, 1681. He m. (2d), Sept. 21, 1682, wid.
SARAH FOSTER. He d. Sept. 28, 1690, and his wid. d. in Ipswich, 1693. Chil,

PHILLIPS [43}], APPENDIX III.— JEWITT.
(IV.) Rev. DAVID JEWITT,* of Rowley, Mass, b. June 10, 1714, grad. Harv.
Coll. 1736, ordained pastor of the Second Church in New London (now Mont-
ville), Conn, Oct. 3, 1739 ; d. June 6, 1783, aged 69. Before going to New London,
he was employed as a missionary to the Mohegans, and acquired ihe favor of the
sachem and tribe. "No minister in the country stood higher among his own
flock, or in the esteem of his brethren, than Mr. Jewilt. He was a man of dignified
deportment, rigorous in discipline, but very fervent in his preaching, and uni
formly assiduous in his calling." [Caulkins' History of New London, p. 434 ]
He was a chaplain in the army in 1756, often afterwards in the French War, and in
the Revolution. He m. PATIENCE PHILLIPS [43}]. She d. in 1773, and he
m. (2d), MARY  , s. p. In the church record, he says: "I was recommended
to this church from the Church of Christ; in Rowley, the Rev. Mr. Jewitt, Pastor."
" My wife, Patience, was recommended from the church in Salem, Mr. Fisk,
Pastor." The tradition is, that he became engaged to Miss Phillips while he was
a student of theology ; that he was very ill, and she, being a member of the
same family, nursed him so kindly and assiduously as to produce a life-long and
loving attachment between them. The tradition of the origin of this attachment
has been preserved in his parish, to account for his marrying a lady born with
only one hand, and about ten years older than himself. His Will, dated a short
time before his decease, mentions his wife Mary ; son David Hibbert Jewitt, and
my gr. chil, David, Charles, Elizabeth, and Sarah Jewitt; "my dear son-in-law,
Elisha Porter, Esq., of Hadley," and my gr. chil, Samuel and Sarah Porter. This
New London branch have changed the ancient orthography Jewett to Jewitt. [See

the Buenos Ayrean Government, and served in it until its independence was
established. , After this, he enlisted in the service of Don Pedro, Emperor of
Brazil, and was, it is said, the first to raise for him the flag of independence.
He was second in command when Lord Cochrane was Admiral of the Brazilian
Navy. AbouH827, he was sent to New York by the Emperor of Brazil, to
contract for and oversee the building of, two ships of war for that government.

p. 404. PHILBRICK. — The homestall or residence of Thomas Philbrick, in Wat,
was at the N. W. corner of what are now called Belmont and Lexington Streets. It has
not been ascertained when he arrived in the country; but it is probable that he was of
that company that came, over in 1630. It is probable also that most, if not all, of his
children were born in England. Thomas, supposed to be his second son, was b. in
1624, and his dr. Elizabeth was married before 1643. His Will, dated 1663, men
tions the following five children. [See Geneal. Reg. vii, p. 358.]
1. James, a mariner, m. Ann  .
2. Thomas, b. 1624 (set. 42, in 1666) ; m, Sept. 22, 1669, Hannah, wid. of John
White, [See [3] p. 886.] Perhaps this m. was that of his son. Edward
*John Morton, Esq., of New York, the father of Mrs. Quincy, married Sophia Maria Kemper, whose father
emigrated from the Rhine, and settled in New York. Her brother, Col. Kemper, of the Revolutionary Army, who
died a few years ago, in Elizabelhtown, New Jersey, vyas father of Rev. Jackson Kemper, for many years an
assistant of the venerable Bishop While, of Philadelphia, now Bishop of Missouri. Susan Kemper, a sister of
Mrs. Morton, and of Col. Kemper, m. Dr. David Jackson, of Philadelphia, and was the mother of Dr. Samuel
Jackson, the dislinguished professor in the University of Pennsylvania.

lard, of Killingby, Conn.

p. 405. PHILPOT. — It is probable that there was only one person of the name of
Philpot in Watertown, viz., Thomas, and that John is a misnomer. Thomas Philpot, pro
prietor of a homestall in 1642, became insane as early as 1647, and was imprisoned,
the usual treatment of that malady at that time. He was living as late as 1678.
p. 406. PIERSON. — The residence of Bartholomew Pierson, in Watertown, which he
purchased of John Stowers, in 1644, was on the N. side of Belmont Street, between
Thomas Philbrick on the east, and Anthony Pierce on the west. Oct. 7, 1655, he
sold his house, barn, and about 6 acres, to Anthony Pierce, for £23; bounded W. by
(?) John Pierce. The land he sold to George Bullard, for £12 (8 acres, not 12), was
bounded N. by John Wincol ; E. by Isaac Stearns ; W. by Anthony Pierce ; S. by
highway. After he moved to Woburn, he had a dr. Sarah, b. May 7, 1653. It was
probably his dr. Mary (birth not recorded), who m, in Woburn, Oct. 28, 1673, John
Richardson. His son Bartholomew, d. Feb. 23, 1661. He (f.) d. in Woburn, Mar.
12, 1687, and his wid. Ursula, d. May 28, 1694.
PORTER.— Roger Porter was selectman of Wat, 1648. After he came to Water-
town, he m. Grace, wid. of William Palmer, first of Watertown, afterwards of New
bury, of Piscataqua (Portsmouth), and Hampton. [See Palmer, p. 865.] It has not
been ascertained what became of his four daughters, whom he brought with him
from England.
. 407. POTTER.— Ap. 15, 1635, William Potter, aged 25, embarked for New En
gland, in the Increase, Robert Lea, master. July 1, 1635, William Potter, husband
man, aged 27, Frances Potter, • uxor, aged 26, and Joseph Potter, aged 20 months,
embarked for New England, in the Abigail, &c. Except for the difference of age, it
might be supposed that the two were identical, as cases occurred, where names were
entered for one vessel, and the persons came in another. If there were two persons
of that name, it is not known which of them settled in Watertown, but probably the
one aged 25. June 2, 1646 (the year after Wm. Potter sold his land in Wat.), Wil
liam Potter, m, in Rox, Judith Greaves. [See Drake's Hist, of Boston, p. 248.] Was
it his wid. Judith Potter, who m. Samuel Finch, in Rox, Dec. 13, 1654'? William
Potter was one of the signers of the original agreement entered into by the first settlers
of New Haven. [See Hinman's Catalogue, 2d ed, p. 76.]
PRATT. — For adm. freeman, read, took the oath of fidelity. It is probable that
Thomas Pratt came from London. [See Boylston, p. 702.]
PRENTICE. — Ruth Worthylake, wife of Benjamin Prentice, carae from New
London to Wat, in Aug., 1763. Prentice occupied the Learned Tavern in 1766-70.
PRESCOTT.— John Prescott took the oath of fidelity in 1652, and was adm. free
man, May 19, 1669. He d. 1683. [For much information respecting his life, cha
racter, parentage, family, and very numerous and highly respected descendants, see
Geneal. Reg. vi, 274 ; Willard's History of Lancaster, in Worcester Mag. vol. II, and
his Centennial Address in Lancaster, June 15, 1853; Butler, pp. 285, 428, and 476;
Shattuck, p. 381; also see p. 828.] He owned 6 lots of land in Watertown, amounting
to 1 26 acres.
p. 407. PRICE. — It will be seen, p. 408, that a query was entertained as to the identity
of families of ihe name of Price and Priest. Several circumstances had formerly reu-

PRICE. — PRINCE. — PROUT. — QUINER. — RAINSBOROUGH. 911
dered this very probable, and it is now satisfactorily ascertained that they were
identical. In the Town Record, Nov. 28, 1670, the name of Win. Price, is written
Priest. Oct. 23, 1697, Mary, relict of William Price, for £90, sold to Samuel Liver
more, a house and 14 acres, bounded E. and N. by Camb. line ; W. by Philpot's lot,
and Henry Godden ; S. by William Shattuck, and town land common. To this deed
is attached the following memorandum. ___F" " Whereas, ye grantor's name in this
deed is called Priest, which name she is commonly known by, yet it is here to be
understood that her right name is Price." William Price (her son), signed a quitclaim
to this property, to Samuel Livermore. A little before this, viz. May 1, 1695, wid.
Mary Price, and her son William, sold to Wm. Shattuck, 14 acres in the same
neighborhood. Her death is not recorded in Wat, and it is probable that, about the
time of these sales, she left the town to reside with one of her children." At a trial
in court, between parties belonging to Watertown, " Wm. Priest" was a witness. His
age is not given. It is not improbable _
that he came over in his youth, with 7/,, ///) • /*.__.*_. -»
John Wetherill, his kinsman. [See ^V^t^O/hO, 1/"MCJ&
Wetherill, p. 637.] v s
Of William Price, Jr., ihe latest notice discovered, is his signing a quitclaim to the
mother's homestead, as above stated.
Of John Price (ex'r of his father, Wm, Sen.), no precise information has been obtained;
but it is conjectured that he settled in Lancaster. After the death of his father he was
lessee of the Philpot lot, in Dec, 1686, and July, 1688. Perhaps he is the one, who
m. Rachel, dr. of Samuel Garfield [Garfield 2\-o]. In a deed for land in, Weston,
sold 1710, it is described as bounded N. and W. by John Priest and James Priest.
[John Preist, of Woburn, had, 1. Elizabeth, b. Sept. 12, 1679. 2. John, b. Nov. 1,
1681. 3. Hannah, b. July 19, 1686. Nothing more has been learned respecting this
family; but the dates show that the father could not have been the John Price (Priest),
born in Watertown.]
For James and Joseph, sons of William Price, see Priest, 1 and 11, p. 408.
Hannah Price, the youngest child, m. Dec. 24, 1702, Thomas Sanderson [5].
Sept. 3, 1751, caution against (settlement of) Hannah Price, from Boston.
PRINCE. — John Prince, the progenitorof the families of this name in New England,
settled first in Watertown, afterwards successively of Hingham and Hull; m. for his
2d wife Anne, wid. of William Barstow. [See Geneal. Reg. V, 383, and Barstow,
in Part II, p. 678.]
p. 409. PROUT. — Ebenezer Prout was Clerk of the House of Representatives, in 1 689,
and on the 6th June, signed the order of the House for the imprisonment of Sir E. Andros,
in the Castle. His eldest son Timothy, by his first wife, Elizabeth [Brooks, 43, p.
721], married Lydia, daughter of Major Thomas Savage, of Boston. In 1728, he
purchased the Cammock Patent, at Black Point (in Scarborough), of the heirs of
Capt. Joshua Scotlow, and settled there, and d. Ap. 5, 1768. His children, b. between
1718 and 1728, were, 1. Lydia. 2. Ebenezer, of Scarboro. 3. Timothy, of Boston.
4. Joseph, of Scarborough. 5. Mary, m. Capt. Alexander Kirkwood, a Scotchman,
of Scarboro, s. p. 6. Elizabeth. [See Hist, of Scarboro, p. 221.]
QUINER. — Thomas Quiner and family, moved to Cambridge, in June, 1741.
RAINSBOROUGH. (Rainborow, Rainburrow, Rainsborow.)— Dec. 17, 1640, Wil
liam Rainsborow purchased of Thomas Bright, for £60, the house and land in Wat,
which had been the homestall of Lieut. Robert Feakes. He was elected a member
of the An. and Hon. Art. Co., in 1639, probably early in that year. Whether he re
sided in Watertown, has not been ascertained; but such a purchase renders it
probable. He returned to England in 1644; became Colonel of a Regiment in Crom
well's army, of which Israel Stoughton was Lt. Col. ; Nehemiah Bourne, Major; John
Leverett, a Captain; and William Hudson, his Ensign. [Winthrop, II, p. 245.] He
was Governor of Worcester in 1646, and he went to Ireland in 1647. He d. 1648.
[See Clarendon's Hist. Rebellion, 3219.] Did Col. Stephen Winthrop marry his
sister . [Winthrop, II, pp. 351, 354; also Colonial Records, II, pp. 60, 80, and 82.]

p. 410. RANDALL— [6.] For Kendall, read Kemball. Serj. John Randall, m. Su
sanna Kemball. [Kemball, 1 J.] He bought of James Cutler and wife Mary, 6 A,
sometime in the possession of Nicholas Theall.
[7.] Susanna Randall m. Enoch Sawtel. [7.]

[19.] Mary Randall, an orphan, grandchild of wid. Worth, bap. in Wat, June 26, 1698.
RAYNOR. — Thurston Raynor, had a lot of 330 acres in Wethersfield, which he
sold to Robert Treat, and moved io Stamford in 1641. [See Oldham, p. 864.] He was
elected magistrate in May. 1664. Perhaps this was the son, who was then 49, and
the father 70 years old.
RAYNGER, — Caution by Lex, against (settlement of) Ann Raynger, from Wat.,
May, 1761. July 10, 1694, Mrs. Hooper warned not to entertain Henry Reiner.
REMINGTON.— John Remington was selectman, 1771, 72, 77, and lived in the
house previously occupied by Capt. David Baldwin.
REYNOLDS. — Robert and John Reynolds, were both very early settlers of Water-
town. Robert was adm. freeman Sept. 3, 1634, and was dismissed from Wat. Church,
May, 1635, in order, with others, to organize a church on Connecticut River. John
was adm. freeman May 6, 1635, and about the same time (in 1635), he was appointed
on a committee in Wat, for dividing to every man, his share of meadow and upland.
There is no further notice of either of them in the town records. They probably both
belonged to the colony that first went from Watertown to Wethersfield. John Rey
nolds was one of the original purchasers of Stamford, and a John Renold was a
freeman and "townsman" of Norwich, in 1669. As the name of Robert Reynolds
does not occur, after a very early date, in the Conn. Col. Records, it is conjectured
that he returned to the Bay Colony; that two of his daughters, Ruth (Whitney), and
Mary (Sanger), settled in Watertown, where he had first settled, and that he d. in
Boston, in 1659. [See his Will, in Geneal. Reg. ix, p. 137; also Whitney [10], and
Sanger [1].

1690, suit in court, Capt. Andrew Belcher, vs. Thomas Rider, of Wat, for withholding
the corn-mill, verdict for the plaintiff. July 17, 1691, Thomas Rider, of Wat, for
£22 10*., mortgaged to Phillip Shattuck, of Wat, weaver, 30 A. of dividend land,
also all his right in a grist-mill, on said land, bounded N. by Camb. line; S. by land

that this family settled in Watertown; but it is very probable, as they came over in
the same ship with several other Watertown families, and belonged to the colony that
went thence to plant Wethersfield. Robert Rose was sworn constable of Wethersfield
Feb. 6, 1639-40. In the Naubuc Farms, he had an allotment of 312 acres. Robert
Rose was one of the freemen of Stratford, in 1669.
RUCIC. — Thomas Ruck, of Charlestown in 1638, adm. freeman May, 1640, soon
afterwards of Salem. In the list of the possessions of Isaac Sterne, made out in
1642-44, is one lot of 10 acres, bought of Thomas Ruck, Nov. 2, 1643 (by him pur
chased of Capt. Jennison), and another lot of 60, also bought of him. Oct. 17, 1643,
the General Court allowed Mr. Ruck £5 15s, "for the charge of the Committee which
met at Salem." Although an early proprietor, it is probable that he never resided in
Watertown.

SALTONSTALL. 915
SALTONSTALL.— Sir RICHARD SALTONSTALL, of Huntwicke,b.l586, was a
son of Samuel Saltonstall, of Rookes and Huntwicke, by his first wife, ANN, daughter
of John Ramsden, of Longley, Esq., and a grandson of Gilbert Saltonstall, who pur
chased Rookes in Hipperholme. He was a Justice of the Peace for the West Riding
of Yorkshire, and Lord of the Manor of Ledsham, near Leeds, which he purchased
of the Harebreds. He was not one of the six who purchased Massachusetts Bay of
the Plymouth Company, Mar. 19, 1627-8, but he soon became one of their asso
ciates. After Sir Henry Rosewell and Sir John Young, two of the original purchasers,
he is the next named among those associates, in the Charter granted by Charles I.,
Mar. 4, 1628-9 ; and he is the first named among those Assistants appointed by that
Charter. The first time his name appears in the records of the Courts of the Massa
chusetts Bay Company, was Mar. 5, 1628-9, where it immediately succeeds the
names of the officers; and it will be found, in those records, that his name almost
invariably stands at the head of the Assistants. When the proposition of Gov. Cradock,
to transfer the government of the Company from England to the Colony, was to be
argued in a General Court of the Company, on the 29th of Aug., 1629, Sir Richard
was named first ofthose who were designated to advocate the transfer. At a General
Court, held Oct. 15, 1629, two committees were appointed, one on the part of the
adventurers, who were to remain in England, and the other on the part of those to go
over, in order to draw up articles of agreement " between the adventurers here at
home, and the planters that are to go over, as well for arranging and settling the joint
stock, as for reconciling any difference that may happen upon this change [transfer]
of government." Sir Richard was appointed chairman of the committee on the part of
the emigrant adventurers. At a General Court, held Sept. 29, 1629, "were read the orders
made the 28th and 29th of August" last, concerning the transferring of the patent and
government of the plantation into New England, but that business, being of great and
weighty consequences, is thought fit to be deferred for determination until Sir Richard
Saltonstall, Mr. Johnson, and other gentlemen, be come up to London, and may be
here present." It is probable that his residence continued to be in Yorkshire until
about the time he went to America, and for that reason he was not a constant attend
ant at the Courts of the Company. At a General Court, held Dec. 1, 1629, in order
to fulfil those articles of agreement, the Company appointed five " undertakers" among
those about to go over, of whom Sir Richard was named next after the Governor, and
five others among those that were to remain in England.
Early in April, 1630, Sir Richard, with his sons and daughters, embarked at Yarmouth,
on board the Arabella, and arrived at Salem on the 12th of June. Those passengers,
by this and other ships, who landed at Salerft, very soon proceeded to Charlestown,
where their number was much enlarged by the arrival of passengers in other ships,
that came directly to Charlestown. Here this company was very soon divided into
two portions. One of them, with Sir Richard as their leader, and Mr. Phillips as their
minister, went to plant Watertown, and without delay (July 28), organized a church,
and Sir Richard was the first subscriber to the church covenant. The other portion
of the Company, with Gov. Winthrop as their leader, and Mr. Wilson as their minister,
remained in Charlestown, and organized a church, which was soon afterwards trans
ferred to Boston. [See Historical Introduction.]
Sir Richard remained in America less than a year. On the 29th of March, 1631, he,
with his two daughters, and one of his younger sons, embarked for England, and, it
is said, fixed his residence in London, having sold his estate in Yorkshire about the
time he became one of the adventurers in the Massachusetts Bay Company. He
never returned to America; yet we may presume that he proposed, and was expected
to return, as he was elected an Assistant by the General Court in May, 1 633. He con
tinued to be a proprietor of Watertown for several years. Mar. 3, 1635-6, the Court
granted him 100 acres of meadow in Watertown, and in the allotment of Beaver
Brook plowlands, 1636, 30 acres were assigned to him, among 1: the townsmen then
inhabiting." This assignment was made because his estate in Watertown was
managed by his servants, in his name, for whom he was responsible ; and this pro
bably continued only until his sons, Samuel and Henry, attained to their majority. In
the list of possessions ordered to be made in 1642, Sir Richard's name does not ap
pear, but the names of those two sons.
He, with Viscount Say and Seal, Lord Brooke, and others, was one of the patentees of
Connecticut, and he was active in promoting its settlement. For this purpose, he
sent over a bark of 40 tons, with 20 servants, which arrived at Boston, June 16, 1635.
His interest in the Connecticut plantation did not, however, seem to diminish his re
gard for Massachusetts Bay. This was evinced by his efficient superintendence of

916 SALTONSTALL.
its interests in England, by the settlement of three of his sons, and the education of
the other, in Massachusetts, and by his legacy to Harvard College.
Among those who subscribed the two letters, dated London, Aug. 29, 1629, one of them
addressed to Gov. Endicott, and the other to the ministers of Salem, and likewise that
letter dated on board the Arbella, Ap. 7, 1630, addressed to their Christian friends
and brethren they were about leaving in England, the name of .Sir Richard Salton
stall stands first. In addition to this circumstance, there is in them so much Christian
charity, such a courteous tone, a spirit so liberal for that day. and somuch in har
mony with his admirable letter, addressed to the ministers of Boston a few years
afterwards, that we may fairly conjecture, if not confidently assert, that he was the
author of all of them. Of that letter of expostulation and rebuke to the ministers of
Boston,* above referred to, Dr. Francis justly says, " this letter is a noble testimony to
his charitable and Christian feelings, and seems to me scarcely less to deserve the
praise of being beyond the age, than the celebrated farewell address of John Robin
son, at Leyden." A character in all points so exemplary, so good, and so great, so
exempt from any seeming blemish or defect, it is not easy to find among the early
worthies of New England; and his honorable descent, and*he superior social posi
tion, so evidently conceded to him by the other adventurers, are feeble claims to our
respect, compared with his eminent personal worth.
After he returned to England, he received marked tokens of the public confidence. His
influence at court is shown by his success in thwarting the machinations of the ene
mies of Massachusetts Bay. In 1644, he was Ambassador to Holland, and while
there, his portrait was painted by the celebrated Rembrandt. It is now in the pos
session of the family of the late Hon. Leverett Saltonstall, and it is very highly valued
as a work of art. Upon it is this inscription, " Aetat. suae 58, A. D. 1644." In 1649,
he was one of the High Court of Justice appointed to try Duke Hamilton, Lord Capel,
the Earl of Holland, the Earl of Norwich, and Sir John Owen, for high treason, of
whomthe first three were condemned andexecuted, and the othertwowere condemned,
but pardoned.

* Copy of a Letter from Sir Richard Saltonstall to Mr. Cotton and Mr. Wilson.
"Reverend and deare friends, whom I uufeignedly love and respect,
¦'It doth not a little grieve my spirifto heare what sadd things are reported dayly of your tyranny and perse
cutions in New England, as that you fine, whip, and imprison men for their consciences. First, you compell such
to come into your assemblyes as you know will not joyne with you in your worship, and when they show their
dislike thereof, or witnes against it, then you styrre up your magistrates to punish them for such (as you con-
ceyve) their publicke affronts. Truely, friends, this your practice of compelling any in matters of worship to doe
that whereof they are not fully persuaded, is to make them sin, for soe the Apostle (Rom. 14 and 23), tells us, and
many are made hypocrites thereby, conforming in their outward man for feare of punishment. We pray for you,
and wish you prosperitie every way, hoped the Lord would have given you so much light and love there, that
you might have been eyes to God's people here, and not to practice those courses in a wilderness which you
¦went so farre to prevent. These rigid wayes have layed you very lowe in the hearts of the saynts. I doe assure
you I have heard them pray in the publique assemblies that the Lord would give you meeke and humble spirits,
not to strive so much for uniformity as to keepe the unity of the spirit in the bond of peace.
" When I was in Holland, about the beginning of our warres, I remember some Christians there, that then had
serious thoughts of planting in New England, desired me to write to the governor thereof to know if those that
differ from you in opinion, yet houlding the same foundation in religion, as Anabaptists, Seekers, Antinomians,
and the like, might be permitted to live among you, to which I received this short answer from your then Gover
nour, Mr. Dudley. God forbid (said he) our love for the truth should be growne soe could that we should tolerate
errours ; and when (for satisfaction of myself and others) I desired to know your grounds, he referred me to the
books written here between the Preshyterians and Independents, which if that had been sufficient, I needed not
have sent so farre to understand the reasons of your practice. I hope you doe not assume to yourselves infallibilitie
of judgment, when the most learned of the Apostles confesseth he knew but in partem and saw but darkely as
through a glass, for God is light, and no further than he doth illumine us can we see, be our paries and learning
never so great. Oh that all those who are brethren, though yet they cannot thinke and speake the. same things,
might be of one accord in the Lord. Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be thus mynded
towards one another, after the example of Jesus Christ our blessed Savyor, in whose everlasting armes of pro
tection hee leaves you who will never leave to be Your truly and much affectionate friend
in the nearest union,
Ric. Saltosstall.

1. Richard, b. at Woodsome, Co. York, in 1610 ; d. at Hulme, Co. of Lancaster,
Ap. 29, 1694, aged 84. '
2. Robert, was probably the 2d son of Sir Richard, as he must have attained his
majority at least as early as 1636 ; for on the 23d Sept., 1637, Mr. Hugh Peters
presented to the Court a deed, by which Robert Saltonstall assigned to him all
the estate that he hath or shall have, to satisfy his creditors. This implies that
he had some time before attained his majority. It appears by a deed dated
about 1642, that he had resided some time in Watertown, and he probably went
to reside in Boston, as early as 1638 or 40; and was adm. mem. An. and Hon.
Art. Co., 1638. He was the superintendent of his father's interest in this coun
try, and it appears by the Colonial Records, that in 1645, Sir Richard had
granted to him irrevocably, all his dues or claims in this country, which was
allowed by the Court. His name often occurs in the Colonial Records, in con
nection with business transactions. June 2, 1641, it was certified to the Court,
that Connecticut colony had sold to Mr. Robert Saltonstall, " a great quantity of
land, not far below Springfield." June 20, 1645, for £100, he sold to his
brother Richard, 2100 acres of land on Connecticut River, "between Spring
field and Windsor Ferry." [Essex Deeds, I., p. 7.] He was one of those pur
chasers of the two patents of Wecohannet (Dover), and Pascataquack (Ports
mouth), who, on the 14th of June, 1641, "gave up and set over," all their
power of jurisdiction to the government of Massachusetts Bay. Oct. 1, 1645,
the Court granted to him 3200 acres, in right of his father, which had been
granted to Sir Richard, as an adventurer. Previous to May 26, 1647, he had
sold to Adam and Dean Winthrop, 1000 acres at Cochituit, which had been
granted to his father, to be laid out by Capt. Pelham and Mr. Pendleton. There
were repeated contests between him (as agent of his father) and Watertown,
respecting titles to lands. They were finally terminated by arbitration in Oct.,
1647. May 29, 1644, he was fined 5s. for presenting a petition, respecting land
in Watertown, on so small and so bad a piece of paper. Mar. 16, 1647-8, having
sold a house and land, to which he had no just and true right, and about which
there had been considerable controversy, he was ordered by the Court to make
restitution, was fined for his miscarriage, to pay costs of Court, and was debarred
from pleading in other men's causes in any Court of Justice, except himself have
real interest therein. This renders it probable that he was a lawyer, or had
been accustomed to act as an advocate in courts of justice. May 2, 1649, he
petitioned for a new trial in the above-rnentioned case, which was granted.
In Oct., 1648, and again in Oct., 1649, the Court permitted him to prosecute
and recover, in any court of justice, his legal claims in the two patents of
Swamscote (Exeter), and Dover on Pascataqua River. He was never admitted
freeman, probably because he was not disposed to conform to the rigid disci
pline of a Puritan church. He was enterprising and energetic, and his father
seems to have reposed entire confidence in his integrity; yet he seems not to
have possessed the public spririt, and the high-toned religious and moral cha
racteristics, which were so admirably illustrated in his father and his brother
Richard. He d. unm. about July, 1650.
His Will, dated June 13, proved Aug. 15, 1650, mentions his father; his brothers,
Richard, Samuel, and Henry; his sisters, Rosamond and Grace; his uncle John
Clarke, whom, with George Munnings, he appointed executors; his aunt
Clarke, and her son, then in Barbadoes. He made bequests also to Henry
Walton, Adam Winthrop, and Thomas Lake. On the day the Will was proved,
John Clarke renounced the executorship. [See Geneal. Reg. vii., 334.] It is
supposed that Martha, wife of John Clarke, of Boston, was a, sister of Sir
Richard ; but it seems to me more probable that their wives, Grace and Martha,
were sisters.
3. Samuel, probably the 3d son of Sir Richard, is mentioned in the Will of his
brother Robert, and in a letter of his sister Rosamond, dated Ap. 22, 1644. For
an account of him, see pp. 415-16, and note, p. 918.
4. Henry, probably the youngest son. [See p. 415.] No additional information
respecting him has been obtained, He is mentioned in the Will of his brother
Robert, and in the letter of his sister Rosamond.
5. Rosamond, perhaps the eldest child. In Ap., 1644, she had been living two

ever married, or what became of her, has not been ascertained.*
6. Grace, mentioned by name, in her brother Robert's Will, and in her sister's letter
(but not named) and then, 1 644, living in the family of Lady Manchester. It is
not known whether she married, or what became of her.
[7. Peter Saltonstall, was formerly conjectured to be a son of Sir Richard ; but it
is now deemed nearly certain that he was not. His name has been discovered
in no records, except those of the Artillery Company. He is not "mentioned in
the Will of Robert, which mentions all the other children of Sir Richard, nor
in the letter of Rosamond to her brother Samuel, which was probably written
some time before he was elected into the Art. Co.; as he was, with one excep
tion, the last one elected in the year 1644. It is not improbable that he was a

f : Dear Brother : —
" I am not a little glad to receive any intimation of your health and happiness, either by word or writing, and
both your own letter and my brother Henry's intelligence, hath lately assured me of it. I should be much more
glad to see you that I might know you better, and enjoy more intimate acquaintance with your spirit, especially
m spiritual things. I trust you have seen and heard so much the beauty thereof, where you are, that they have
really challenged your heart from all the world. I can desire nothing so much as your soul's prosperity, and
that you would interest yourself in all the ways and means, that might add to your growth for an eternal wel
fare. I am sure 'tis the best counsell, and you will find it so one day, when all your days oh earth must be con
cluded by death. Consider that time much, and what kind of provision eternity will require, and then the world
and all carnal things will not take up your thoughts more than needs must.
" Dear Brother, I am glad to hear of you so well as I do, and therefore, I desire you would go farther, and not
be a hindrance to the good of your own soul by any indisposition of nature. Put forth yourself and trust God in
his own way and work, if you can find, in any true measure, anything of Christ savingly wrought in you ; and
what he will own, man dares not reject, nor any that desire to draw hear to God in any ordinance; and all his
ordinances are precious and highly lo be valued, and surely God will never draw so near, or delight in any, that
do not make it their desire and endeavor to draw near to him in every ordinance. Consider your condition
seriously, put yourself to trial, let God see you willing lo deny yourself in all carnal reasonings and sinful objec
tions, that you may give up yourself fully to be one of Christ's flock, that he may wholly rule over you.
"Dear Brother, you are likely to be a constant settler where you are; therefore, without question, you have
liberty to dispose of yourself into church-fellowship, and I pray God you may be so fitted for it, as interested in it.
" For our condition here, I need not tell you how we are dispersed ; my father and brother Henry, are in Hol
land. My father hath some necessity to be there now, because of Mr. White's breaking, by whom my falher hath
lost more of that little estate he hath left. For the present I am, and have been, two years in my Lord of War
wick's family ; my sister is with my Lady Manchester, and thus we are dispersed about. The Lord give us all
a gathering in Christ, and there we shall meet without separation to all eternity.

to legal studies. About 1633, he married MERIELL GURD0N, dr. of Brampton
Gurdon, of Asson, Co. Suffolk, Esq. (who, it is said, Jiad "eight sons, Parlia
ment men"). He embarked at London, in Ap., 1635, with wife Meriell, aged 22
yrs., and dr. Meriell, aged 9 months. Upon his arrival, then aged 25, he settled
in Ipswich, and immediately began to receive tokens of public respect and confi
dence; and there is not probably in the early colonial history, another instance,
where so young a man received so many. The Colonial Records show that he
was truly a worthy son of a very worthy father.
Mr. Saltonstall was elected Deputy of Ipswich, to the first General Court, held
after his(return, and was at five courts between Mar. 3, 1635-6, and April, 1637.
He' was elected Assistant, June 1, 1637, and continued to be elected annually until
1649. In Oct. of that year, another man was appointed in his place on a com
mission, which he could not attend to, " in regard of his intended voyage," bound
to England, probably for the benefit of his wife's health. Sept., 1649, "being,
by God's Providence, upon a voyage to England," he appoints the present Pastor
and the Deacons of the Church of Ipswich, his attorneys, with " power to act,"
about all of his estates in Ipswich. [Essex Deeds, II., p. 6.] When he re
turned has not been ascertained, but he was in England in the spring of 1662.
[See Hutchinson's State Papers, p. 371.] In 1672, he went back to England,
where his three daughters were married. He returned to Massachusetts again in
1680, where he remained about three years; and then, at the age of 73, went
again to England, where he died, at Hulme, Ap. 29, 1694, aged 84. He was
elected Assistant, in 1664, and again, upon his second return to Ipswich, in 1680,
81, and 82. Sept. 6, 1636, the Court appointed a committee to examine the ac
counts of Mr. R. Saltonstall, executor of the estate of John Dillingham, deceased,
and of Edward Dillingham, his son. This estate was not finally settled until 1645.
May 25, 1636, he, with two others, was appointed " to keep court" at Ipswich. In
1644, 1646, and 1647, he was appointed (" desired) to keep court" at Piscataqua.
Sept. 8, 1636, he was one of those deputed to require the last rates of each town
in the plantation; to find out the true value of every town in the plantation, and
to make an equal rate for _£600. The next year he received a similar appoint
ment. In 1638, he was appointed a referee " in business, between Henry Sewall
and the town of Newbury."' Mar. 12, 1637-8, he was one of the committee ap
pointed to report upon "excessive prices," and to report "their thoughts for
remedying the same.". At the same time he was appointed on a committee "to
consider of a levy, petitions,. and other trivial matters." May 29, 1644, he, with
two others, was appointed, " with full power to hear and determine all businesses
at Hampton, both about their differences, offences, and a new plantation, accord
ing to their several petitions."
Oct. 7, 1641, he was, by the Court, appointed him Serjeant Major in Col. Endi-
cott's Regiment. Although he received so many offices and appointments, and the
preceding are only a part) he does not seem to have been ambitious for office.
Winthrop says, that in 1644, Mr. Saltonstall " moved very earnestly that he might
be left out of the next election (of Assistants), and pursued his motion after to the
towns ;" and he supposes that it was because Mr. S. found himself in a small mino
rity, among the Assistants, on some points of public policy. Like his father, he had
more correct views of public justice, and of civil and religious liberty, than were
then and there prevalent. Oct. 1, 1645, the Court granted a charter, for 20 years,
after any discovery made within three years, to the following gentlemen, as a
trading company or company of adventurers, viz., " Richard Saltonstall, Esq.,
Mr. Syman Bradstreet, Mr. Samuel Symonds, Mr. Richard Dumer, Mr. Willie
Hubbard, Capt. Wm. Hathorne, and Mr. Wm. Paine." He was one of those
persons who were privy to the concealment of the regicide Judges, Whalley and
Goffe, and in 1672, he gave them £50.
There are three events in the life of Mr. Saltonstall, of some importance, as illustrative
of his regard for civil liberty, public justice, and humanity.
The greatest blemish, the charge which it is most difficult to meet satisfactorily, in the
conduct of the planters of Massachusetts Bay, is undoubtedly their bigoted attach
ment to the minutia of their religious dogmas, their seeming to be the disciples of
Moses more than of Christ, their intolerance of any variation from their views, even
on speculative points of no practical importance, and the severity of their dealings
with those who conscientiously differed from them. In such a condition of the

920 SALTONSTALL.
public sentiments, or rather of those who bear rule, there can hardly fail to be a
proneness towards the assumption of arbitrary power. This was manifested in the
early attempt of the Court to tax the people without their consent, which, however,
was so met by the Rev. George Phillips, the uncompromising Elder Richard Browne,
and other people of Watertown, that it was not afterwards attempted. This occurred
while Mr. Saltonstall was in England. The next important manifestation of this ten
dency was on the 3d of March, 1635-6, when the Court passed an order, that the
General Court, at their next meeting, " shall elect a certain number of magistrates for
term of their lives, as a standing council." This order was obnoxious t6 the people,
and awakened among them a jealousy of the designs of their rulers. They looked
upon it as an infringement of their rights, as an attempt to introduce into the govern
ment an almost irresponsible body, which was not warranted by their charter. Such
was the excitement produced, that at the end of three years (May 22, 1639), the Court
virtually, but not formally, almost annulled the force of that order. The obnoxious
Standing Council, however, still subsisted, and, to allay the excitement, the Court
authorized " every freeman to give their advice to any of the deputies concerning the
institution and power of the Standing Council."
Mr. Saltonstall, although an Assistant, with a very fair prospect of becoming a member
of that Council, if he desired it, coincided in sentiment with those freemen, and such
of the Elders as disapproved of the Standing Council, differing in this respect from
most of the other Assistants; and he wrote a book, maintaining that the institution of
such a body for life was not warranted by the Charter, and was a sinful innovation.
It is evident, from Wjiithrop, that his remarks were cogent and pointed. Mr. Salton
stall put the book into the hands of Mr. Hathorne, a Deputy, and from him it passed
into other hands, and not until after the lapse of a considerable time was it laid before
the Court. The book gave great offence, especially to some of the high officials,
those most interested in the institution which was attacked, and they would gladly
have censured or otherwise punished the author. But such was the character and
influence of Mr. Saltonstall, and so cogent and unanswerable his argument, that they
did not succeed, and he was "discharged from any censure or further inquiry by this
or any other court." This vote was passed May 3, 1642. Yet so much rankling
did the book leave in certain persons interested, that on the 14th of the next month,
the Court voted "to vindicate the office of the Standing Council, as it is now ordered,
and the persons in whom it is now vested, from all dishonor and reproach, cast upon
it or them, in Mr. Saltonstall's book." For this purpose, the book was referred to the
Elders, the very persons who had advised the institution of such a Council. "The
Elders all met at Ipswich," Oct. 18, 1642, and took the book into consideration.
They "differed much in their judgment about it," but finally agreed to report that
three propositions are laid down in it, and "in their answer they allowed the said
propositions are sound ;" but they made some nice distinctions about the application
of them, intended to lessen the odium attached to the institution and the authors of it.
The Government of Massachusetts Bay, through their own weakness, and the artifice of
La Tour, became dishonorably, not to say dishonestly, implicated in " the French
business," — the controversy between D'Aulney and La Tour. In an early stage of
this business (in May, 1643), "those about Ipswich, &c, took great offence at these
proceedings," protesting against them " with divers arguments, some whereof were
weighty." [Winthrop, II., 128; Hutchinson's State Papers, p. 115.] In this protest,
it is fair to presume that Mr. Saltonstall was the leader, not only from his social and
official position, his being the first subscriber, and his known sentiments, but from his
subsequent conduct.
This protest, dated July 14, 1643, was signed by Richard Saltonstall, Simon Bradstreet,
Samuel Simonds, Nath. Warde, Ez. Rogers, Nath. Rogers, John Norton. [See Hazard's
State Papers, I., p. 502.] Mr. Bradstreet speaks of it as a joint production, — " we
writ the letter," " our letter," and he defended it against the strictures of Gov. Win
throp.
At the General Court, in May, 1645, a commission was granted to the Governor (Dud
ley), Lieut. Atherton, Mr. Pelham, Capt. Cooke, Mr. Saltonstall, and Mr. Hathorne,
with power td summon witnesses, &c, to search out the truth about "the French
business ;" yet, at the same Court, a pass was granted to La Tour for seven armed
vessels; and a small amount of provision was allowed them " on the country charge."
This was a manifest violation of the spirit, if not of the letter, of the 9th Article of
the Confederation of the four New England Colonies, entered into in May, 1643 ; and
in August, 1645, a solemn and formal protest was delivered to the Commissioners of

SALTONSTALL.

921

the United Colonies, in the handwriting of Mr. Saltonstall, and signed, by himself and
Mr. Hathorne, who were a minority of those commissioners of inquiry, appointed the
preceding May. This protest, for pertinence, perspicuity, just sentiments, and com
prehensive Views, will compare most favorably with any state paper of that period.
[See Winthrop II., pp. 381-3.] From this paper, we may infer the ability displayed
in Mr. Saltonstall's book against a Standing Council for life.
Mr. Saltonstall is entitled to a high place among those Christian philanthropists, who
have entertained a conscientious regard for " the higher law," and have spoken and
acted promptly and boldly against the nefarious slave trade. Capt. James Smith, of
Boston, and his mate, Thomas Kaezar, in the ship Rainbow, went to the coast of
" Guinea to trade for negroes." Upon their return, bringing only two negroes to Boston,
and reporting their doings, Mr. Saltonstall, in Oct. 1645, presented to the General Court
a petition, representing in strong terms the heinous conduct of Smith and Kaezar,
declaring that "the act of stealing negroes, or taking them by force (whether it be con
sidered a theft or a robbery), is (as I conceive) contrary to the law of God and the
law of this country," and he "requested that the several offenders may be imprisoned
by the order of this Court, and brought to their deserved censure in convenient time."
The petition, written with Mr. Saltonstall's peculiar terseness, perspicuity, and bold
ness, was signed by himself only. [Winthrop, II., p. 379.] The petition was granted,
and it was ordered that Capt. Smith (a member of Boston, Church), and Mr. Kaezar,
" be laid hold on, and committed to give answer." The Court ordered the two negroes
to be delivered up, and one, if not both of them, to be sent back to Guinea at the
public expense.

Massachusetts Bay was taken away, and when he was named one of " the Council
of the Governor of Massachusetts Bay," under Sir Edmund Andros. But he re
fused to accept the appointment, and, upon the deposition of Sir Edmund, he
became one of the Council, which took the government of the Colony into
their hands. He continued in this office until the arrival of the Charter of
William and Mary, wherein he was appointed one of their Majesty's Council. On
the 2d June, 1692, he was appointed one of the Judges in a special commission
of Oyer and Terminer, for the trial of persons accused of witchcraft, and, with a
highminded liberality, worthy of his father and grandfather, the more honorable
for being at that time singular, he, and he alone, refused to serve in that com
mission from conscientious scruples: In August, 1680, he went with the Deputy
Governor and others, " with 60 soldiers, in a ship and sloop from Boston, to still
the people at Casco Bay, and prevent Gov. Andros's usurpation." In 1683, he
was appointed by the Crown one of the Commissioners "to examine and inquire

unanimous call in May, 1688, to settle in New London, where he was ordained
Nov. 19, 1691. Upon the death of Gov. John Winthrop, who d. Nov. 27, 1707,
Mr. Saltonstall was elected his successor, and took the oath of office as Governor
of Connecticut, Jan. 1, 1708. He was tall and well proportioned, of dignified
aspect and demeanor; of eminent intellectual endowment's and acquirements,
and a very graceful and impressive elocution. He was an advocate of vigorous
ecclesiastical authority, always striving to exalt the ministerial office, to maintain
its dignity, and to enlarge the powers of ecclesiastical bodies ; which gave him
unbounded popularity among his clerical brethren. Such were his views of law
and order, both in church and state, and of the discipline lo be employed in
maintaining them, and such his regard for official dignity and privileges, that he ac
quired the reputation of being severe, imperious, and of seeking self-aggrandiza-
tion. Yet he was a very popular Governor, and remained in office until Sept. 21,
1724, when he died suddenly of apoplexy. [For a full and excellent delineation
of his character, see Caulkin's Hist, of New London.] He m. (lst) JERUSHA

Nathaniel, his farm at Cauchinchaug'(Durham) : to his son Gurdon, his lands in
New London ; to his daughters Elizabeth, Mary, and Sarah, the estate in Wethers
field, that was their mother's. He also provides for his daughter Catherine. He

RINE RUSSELL, dr. of Hon. Richard and Maud Russell, of Charlestown. [See note, p. 736.] In 1658, wood and
common land was assigned to him "on Mistick syde," in Charlestown. He moved to Connecticut, as early as
1667. He probably first went to Branford, as he was one of the original signers of the "New Plantation Cove
nant" of Branford, Jan. 20, 1667 ; hut he must have moved to New Haven very soon afterwards, for on Jan. 13,
1667, the town of New Haven granted him a lot, on which he built a house, and " for some years dwelt in ;'' was
engaged in trade, and owned a bark, trading between New Haven and Barbadoes. He probably returned to
Branford, in 1671 ; for, on the 9th of Feb., 1671, the town of Branford granted him a tract of land, at the outlet of
the Lake [since called Saltonstall Lake], on condition of his erecting and maintaining a dam there. This dam
yet remains. In the same year was a marriage settlement between Hon. Richard Russell, and his daughter
Catherine Rosewell, of the one part, and Mr. William Rosewell, of the other part, settling upon her heirs of this
marriage, first male and second female, the farm by the Lake, with the negroes (naming Ihem), Albert and his
wife Ruth, and chil. Caty, Andrew, and Ruth, and another negro named Peter. He d. July 19, 1694, aged 64, in

Dudley, b. Sept. 8, 1738, a distinguished seaman, of New London. In early
life, he made numerous voyages in mercantile pursuits. In the Revolutionary
War, he attained the rank of Commodore, and had command of the American
Fleet in the expedition against Penobscot in 1779. The disastrous issue of that
expedition was attributed to unforeseen obstacles, and the insufficiency of the
force, — not to any want of skill or bravery in the Commander. The largest
American vessel was the Warren, of 32 guns, and they were attacked by a
squadron of five British war vessels, led on by Sir George Collier, in the Rain
bow, of 44 guns. Under such circumstances, the destruction or capture of the
American Fleet was inevitable. He afterwards' commanded the privateer
Minerva, and among the prizes taken by him was the Hannah, a merchant ship,
of London, bound for N. York, having the most valuable cargo sent to America
during the war. The exasperation produced by this and other losses by
privateers from New London, is said to have led to that expedition, in Sept.
1781, in which New London and Groton were burnt, and the garrison of Fort
Griswold massacred. Capt. D. Saltonstall m., in 1765, Frances, dr. of Dr.

engaged in active service in the French War on Lake George, and belonged to
that body which capitulated at Fort William Henry, Aug. 9, 1757. When the
Indians fell upon the unarmed prisoners, he fled to the woods, and very
narrowly escaped death in that horrid massacre. He commanded a regiment
from 1760 until the end of the war. Soon after this, he was appointed High
Sheriff of the county of Essex.
Col. Saltonstall was a firm loyalist, and uniformly opposed the measures taken
in opposition to the royal government. He deemed the proceedings of the

SALTONSTALL.

British Parliament extremely inexpedient, but he never doubted their right to
tax their American Colonies. In the autumn of 1774, he fled to Boston, and
soon afterwards embarked for England. He refused to enter the British service,
lest he should be directed to act against his native country. The king, never
theless, granted him a pension, and he never returned to America.
Col. Saltonstall resided upon the family estate in Haverhill, in a liberal and
hospitable manner, but was never married. He was characterized by integrity,
frankness, a benevolent disposition, polished manners, a superior understanding
and knowledge of the world, which made him much beloved, and gave him
great influence. " He d. Oct. 6, 1785, at Kensington, Eng., where there is a
monument erected to his memory. [See Sketch of Haverhill, by Hon. Leverett

6. Nathaniel, br Feb. 10, 1746; at the age of 10 years, upon the decease of his
father, was received into the family of his uncle, Meddlecott Cooke, Esq., of
Boston; grad. Harv. Coll. 1766; settled in Haverhill, where he devoted his life
to the practice of medicine; M.M.S.S. His classical education and general in
telligence, his eminent professional skill, and conscientious discharge of duty,
his gentle manners and kind disposition, and his strong attachment to the liberty
and independence of his country, acquired for him great respect in the com
munity, and the affection and entire confidence of his patients. He was re
markable for his humane and assiduous' attention to' the poor, consoling them
by his friendly, cheerful demeanor, and by the medicines and other necessaries
which he freely supplied, without the prospect of any pecuniary remuneration.
At a time when all his brothers and brothers-in-law adhered to those prin
ciples of loyalty iii which they had been educated, Dr. Saltonstall remained
true to those principles of civil liberty and humanity which he inherited from
his worthy ancestor, Sir Richard Saltonstall, and his not less worthy son, Richard
of Ipswich. This conscientious adherence to his principles separated him for
ever from those he most loved. It was to him a severe trial, and gave the
strongest proof of his sincerity, and the strength of his principles. These had
probably been much invigorated, by his training in the patriotic Cooke family.

land, and was engaged in several battles. He was a captain under Cornwallis,
fell a victim to the hardships of a camp life, and died of consumption at New
York, Dec. 20, 1782, aged 28. [See " Sketch of Haverhill," by his nephew and

. 429. SHERMAN. — Samuel Sherman, an early settler of Boston, was not the
Samuel Sherman who went from Watertown with the first settlers of Wethersfield.
The latter, it is said, was a brother of Rev. John Sherman. It appears, also [Hist, of
Glastenbury, p. 163], that he was a son of Joseph [? Edmund] Sherman, of Wethers
field, one of the original grantees of the Naubuc Farms, who, in 1641, gave this farm
[144 acres] to his son Samuel. If these statements be correct, this Joseph was the
father of Rev. John Sherman, of Watertown, and the father and his two sons may
have gone to Wethersfield together. Samuel Sherman was one of those twenty
Wethersfield men who purchased Stamford, Oct. 30, 1640; from Stamford he moved
to Stratford, where he died, Oct. 1684. In 1672, he was the first of the subscribers to
the fundamental articles for the plantation of Woodbury (Pomparague), Conn. He
m., about 1640, Sarah Mitchell, daughter of Matthew, of Wethersfield, afterwards of
Stamford, sister of Rev. Jonathan Mitchell, of Cambridge. [For a Genealogy of his
family and descendants, see Cothren's Hist, of Woodbury, p. 682 ; also, p. 633.]
He was a magistrate, 1664, and, at a General Assembly, Oct. 13, 1664, the Court
granted him " a farm of 250 acres of land upon New Haven River, whereof 50 acres
may be meadow, so it be out of the bounds of the town."
>. 430. [2.] For dr. of Roger and Grace Porter, read, dr. of William Palmer. [See
Palmer, p. 865, and Porter, p. 910]. Capt. John Sherman was Rep. again in 1682.
At a court, in June, 1654, Serg. Sherman was accepted as Ensign of Watertown
company, and he did not attain the rank of Captain until 1680, or, perhaps, 1681, when
he was about 67 years old. His residence or homestall (which passed to his son
Joseph), consisting of two parcels of land, was bounded as follows, viz.: 30 acres,
bounded N. by Strawberry Hill; E. by Capt. Bond and John Perry; S. by Joshua
Whitney (what had been the homestall of his father, John Whitney), Nathan Fiske,
and Henry Spring; W. by a lane or highway. Also, 14 acres, bounded E. by said
lane; N. by Strawberry Hill; W. by Nathaniel Bright; S. by Nathan Fiske and

[50.] Rev. John Sherman was dismissed May 29, 1635, from Watertown Church to
Wethersfield. He resided in Wethersfield until after May 7, 1640, when the Court of
Connecticut ordered that "Mr. John Sherman, of Wethersfield, be freed from watching
until the Court take further order." His name is on the list of free planters of Milford,
Conn., Nov. 20, 1639, and he was admitted to the Church of Milford, Nov. 8, 1640.
At a General Court of New Haven, Nov. 24, 1640, he was one of the five persons
chosen magistrates of the plantation [Colony of New Haven]. At a General Court,
May 27, 1641, "John Sherman is, till the next Court of Election, to join with four
others [the other magistrates, Wm. Fowler, Edmond Tappe, Zechariah 'Whitman, and
John Astwood], in dividing of land, and to receive inhabitants." In Nov., 1643, his
possessions were a house, lot 4$ acres, meadow 9J A., and upland 20 A. He was
invited to become a minister of Milford, but declined. He was dismissed from Mil
ford Church, Nov. 8, 1647, which was probably about the date of his return and
settlement in Watertown, where he had a child born less than three months after
wards. There is no record in Wethersfield or Milford of either of his marriages, or
of the births of his children. The births of only 5 (not 7) of his children are recorded
in Watertown, although several others were undoubtedly born there. [For an ac
count of his eminent talents, learning, services, and Christian character, see Mather's
Mag., book iii., part ii.. chap. 29 ; also, Francis's Hist, of Watertown.]

of " the farms" or farm lands (situated in Weston), according to an order of the town,
passed May 10, 1642, 259 acres were allotted Isaac Sterne, which was a greater lot
than was assigned to any others, except John Barnard, who had 287 acres, and John
Knight, who had 270 acres. The next greatest was 250 A. to John Bisco ; next, 209
to Henry Goldstone ; next, 158 to Simon Stone. The farms then granted were not
surveyed and plotted out for the grantees until after the lapse of many years. Soon
after the grant of the farms above mentioned, a list of possessions in Watertown was
made out, wherein it appears that Isaac Sterne, in 1643, held 13 lots, amounting to
471 acres. One lot of 10 A., and another of 60 A., he had recently purchased of
Thomas Ruck, and two of his lots were homestalls. By a deed, dated Jan. 23, 1645-6,
he purchased of Thomas Philbrick 6 lots of land, amounting to 113 A.; which, added

938 STEARNS.
to his other possessions, would increase his number of lots to 19, and his number of
acres to 584, which would be more lots and more acres than appears to have been
then held by any other proprietor. It is supposed that he first settled near Mount
Auburn, but that in a few years he moved to a lot on the east side of " the way to
Concord," now called Lexington Street, on the west border of Pequusset Meadow.
The homestall which he bought of Thomas Philbrick, situated on the N. W. comer
of Belmont and Lexington Streets, he gave to his son Samuel, who settled there; and
it continued to be occupied by his direct descendants, of the name of Stearns, until
after the decease of his great great grandson, Capt. Phinehas Stearns, in 1798. Since
then it has been held by his descendants of the name of White.
p. 451. It is stated in the first paragraph, p. 451, that families of the name of Starn and
Stern, in the Middle and Southern States, are of German origin. This may be in part
correct, especially in Pennsylvania, but not entirely so as to the Carolinas, Georgia,
and Tennessee. See [40], pp. 554, and 948.
p. 453. [9.] John Stearns was town clerk of Billerica two years, and he was one of the

[10-3.] In 1675, Samuel Stearns [then aged 16], son of John, of Billerica, d.,
" was disabled," and the Court ordered that Lieut. French, who had married his
mother, should have the charge of him. In April, 1722, the selectmen of Billerica
presented a petition to the Court about Samuel Stearns, an impotent and discomposed
person, who had been for some time taken care of by Capt. John Stearns and Isaac
Stearns, his brethren, 8 acres of land in the centre of the town belonging to Samuel,
being in the possession of Isaac, that they (the selectmen) may have the same [land]
towards his support. Feb. 24, 1702-3, Mary Mixer gave to her son, Samuel Stearns,
24 poles of land, a share of the estate of her first husband, John Stearns, which had
been divided in Oct., 1687.

He soon turned his attention earnestly to a preparation for the Gospel ministry, but
completed the term of his apprenticeship. Soon after this, he began to study with
Rev. Mr. Williams, of Wrentham, Mass., and afterwards with Rev. Dr. Greene, of
North Yarmouth, Me. In the spring of 1806, he was licensed to preach, and was
ordained at N. Yarmouth, Oct. 1807. He was soon settled in Freeport, where he re
mained about two years. He was installed the first pastor of the First Baptist Church
in Bath, Me., Dec. 6, 1810, which office he held until his decease, Aug. 1, 1840. He
had acquired a good knowledge of the Hebrew, Greek, and Latin languages; was

of Judge Story, a friend and correspondent of J. Q. Adams, and for a long time a very
influential leader of the democratic party of that State. His political writings were
numerous. He was U. S. Dep. Marshal under Mr. Jefferson, and Postmaster from
1815 to 1829; was Rep. 3 years in the State Legislature, a State Senator, and a member
of the Governor's Council. In 1811, he was appointed clerk of the County Court by

Record.] The marriage in the text is that recorded in Tolland records by Shubael
himself, when he was town clerk. It is stated, on page 554, that Shubael Stearns [40],
with his large family, left Connecticut, about 1750, on account of ecclesiastical diffi
culties, and that he settled in North Carolina. He and his family were Baptists, and
some of them, especially his son Shubael, and son-in-law Daniel Marshall, have
exercised a great influence upon the religious sentiments of the South. This son was
at the time of their migration about 44 years old, and he has been called a Boanerges.
He first halted at Opeckoa, in Berkely Co., Virginia, where he founded achurch. He
there met Rev. Daniel Marshall, who had married his youngest sister, Martha, and
who went from Tolland on a mission among the Indians. From Opeckoa, they
moved into Hampshire Co., 30 miles from Winchester, Va. Some of his friends, who
had gone to N. Carolina, invited him to come to them; and he accepted, and settled
at Sandy Creek, Guilford Co., N. Carolina, where he established what was called his
New Light Church, which proved to be the prolific mother of many churches at the
South. He d. there, Nov. 20, 1771. When the family moved to Virginia, the broad
Virginia pronunciation was given to the name, and it has been very generally written
and pronounced Starnes.
We have obtained a very imperfect genealogy of the family and descendants of Shu
bael Stearns, who have become widely dispersed and very numerous. Of the family
of Shubael, Jr. [41], the very successful preacher, nothing has been learned. His
brother Peter [43], had 5 children. [See p. 554.] Charles, the eldest, settled in
Charleston, S. C, where he died, and was buried in the Cemetery of the Circular
Church. His daughter Mary, m. Capt. Thomas Commander Russell, an officer in the
Continental line in the Revolution. Hepzibah, a daughter of Isaac [44], m. 
Welborn, and they are the ancestors of the large family of that name, in N. Carolina,
Georgia, and Tennessee. Ebenezer [48], after he went to the South, ra. (2d) Eliza
beth Young, of Buncombe Co., N. Carolina. About the time of the Revolution, he
moved into S. Carolina, and afterwards into Columbia Co., Ga., where he died. His
children were, 1. Dr. Samuel Scott Starnes. 2. Daniel, who m. his cousin, Harriet E.
Russell, a daughter of Capt T. C. and Mary (Starnes) Russell, and he is the father of
Judge Ebenezer Starnes, of Augusta, Ga. 3. John Starnes, m.  Ware, now
living in Tennessee, an aged man. 4. Mary, m. Rhodam Falloss, Esq. 5. Ebenezer,
m.  Harvey, and had son William, a physician, and other children.
Rev. Daniel Marshall, who married Martha [50], the youngest dr. of Shubael Steams,
was a son of Abraham Marshall, of Connecticut, and was very distinguished and

decease; and it could not be his son. Was it [544], p. 578?

STICKLAND. — (Stickline, Strickland.) Serj. John Stickland, applied to be adm.
freeman, Oct., 1630,; was adm. May 18, 1631. He was probably one of that small
company that was sent from Salem to Charlestown, in 1629, to take possession of
Massachusetts Bay, and from Charlestown went very early, perhaps with Sir Richard
Saltonstall, to Watertown. He was member of a jury of inquest Sept 18, 1630, and
in May. 1631, of a trial jury. Sept. 4, 1632, he was fined £3, for refusing watch at
the Captain's [Patrick] command. This fine was discharged by the Court, Sept. 1638.
He sold his homestall in Wat, to John Whitney (who made it his permanent resi
dence), and went with first settlers to plant Watertown (Wethersfield). Conn. He
was dismissed from Wat. Church, May 29, 1635, "to forme a newe in Ch. Covennte,
in this River of Conectecot." He was probably the ancestor of all the families of
the name of Strickland, in New England and Long Island.

128], read, [see Mid. Prob. Rec, II., 128.] The Warners were not mentioned in his
Will, but in that of his wife, Sarah. The tradition in the family is that Joan, the wife
of Deacon Simon Stone, who embarked with him for America, was a daughter of
William Clark. His last wife, Sarah [wid. of Richard Lumpkin], in her Will, made
a bequest of £60 to her kinsman, John Warner, and John and Daniel Warner, were
residuary legatees. It is not improbable, from anything yet discovered, that in her
Will, for Warner, we should read Warren. John Warren, of Wat, had only two
sons, John and Daniel, and each of them had a daughter Sarah, although neither
their mother, nor either of their wives, bore that name. The homestall of Dea. Simon
Stone, of 40 acres, was on the south of Mount Auburn Cemetery, and probably it
embraced a part of the land, which was included in it. formerly called Stone's Woods

dren and three servants, obtained of the Vicar and Justices of Ashford, a certificate
for embarkation. Comfort Starr, grad. Harv. Coll., 1647, was probably the youngest
of those children; and the Simon Starr, mentioned in Mass. Hist. Coll., 3d Ser. viii.,
p. 310, may have derived his name from Simon Stone.] [See Eire, p. 756; also Caul-

appointed by the Gen. Court, Mar. 3, 1635-6, " to govern the people at Connecticut"
He left Wethersfield about 1644, with others, to commence the plantation of Bran
ford. These very early appointments to office imply a very good repute. He could
have resided in Watertown only one year. See Colonial Records, I., p. 171.

Haines, Att'y of Andrew Coleman, in England, to whom Swift had given his name

* Soon after the decease of Mr. Angier, a controversy arose about a division of the town into two precincts,
and about the location of the two meeting-houses. These subjects were referred to the General Court, who ap
pointed a committee of 3 of Ihe Council, and 4 of the House of Representatives ; and they reported Dec. 3, 1720,
the boundary between the two precincts (which was surveyed Dec. 13) ; and that the New or Western [Mr. An
gier's] meeting-house, shall be removed within two years to the rising ground 20 rods west of Nathaniel Liver
more or a new one built ; and that within 10 years, the Old or East meeting-house be removed, or a new one
built 'on Schoolhouse Hill, Ap. 29, 1721 ; at a town-meeting, it was voted to remove the meeting-houses. Many of
those best accomodated with the Angier meeting-house where it was, were not disposed to accept or comply
with the report of the committee, and determined to maintain worship, where it had been done for about 25 years,
For this purpose, they employed Mr. Sturgeon, as their pastor; and his concurrence in their purpose appears to
have been the only ground of the heinous charges brought against him.

p. 651. WHITTEMORE.— (Whittamore, Whitamore, Whitmore, Wetmore, &c.) Mr.
Farmer appears to consider these names as only a varied orthography of one name.
Those, however, who have carefully investigated the subject, have concluded that
there were three distinct names and families (Whittemore, Whitmore, and Wetmore),
between whom, there has been discovered no early consanguinity. Gentlemen are
now engaged in investigating the genealogy of the Whittemores and Whitmores, and
will probably fully elucidate this subject. On pages 652 and 53, under one name
(Whittemore), are mentioned farnilies, who were distinct in their name and lineage;
one portion of them being Whittemores, and- the other Whitmores. We here insert
so much as to correct the error referred to, with a little additional information.

APPENDIX I.

THE EARLY HISTORY OF WATERTOWN,
MASSACHUSETTS ;
INCLUDING WALTHAM AND WESTON.

THE PLANTING OF WATERTOWN.
§ 1. In March, 1628, the Plymouth Company sold to a company of six gentle
men, in England, the territory extending from a line three miles north of Merrimack
River, to one three miles south of Charles River, and from the Atlantic to the
Pacific Ocean. These grantees* soon afterwards conveyed to other gentlemen an
interest in their purchase, and the number of joint proprietors soon became much
enlarged. They assumed the title of " The Massachusetts Bay Company," and in a
few days chose Matthew Cradock, a wealthy merchant of London, Governor, and
Thomas Goffe, also a merchant of London, Deputy-Governor. A charter for their
Company was not obtained from Charles I. until the next year, March 4, 1628-9 j
but in June, 1628, three months after making the purchase, a company of emigrants
was sent over, who landed at Salem, and commenced the settlement of that
ancient town.
§ 2. Captain John Endicott, one of the original purchasers of the Plymouth
Company, was appointed Governor of this little colony ; but it is to be observed that
he was not made Governor of the Company, as the Governor and government thereof
then remained in England, and gave him his instructions. Mr. Koger Conant, with
three others, had fixed their abode at Salem previously to the arrival of Endicott
and his company; but as Conant was not sent there by the Massachusetts Bay Com-
* These original grantees were Sir Henry Rosewell, Sir John Young, Thomas Southcott, John
Rumfrey, John Endicott, and Simon Whetoombe.
The patentees, to whom the charter of the colony of Massachusetts Bay was granted, were
Sir Henry Rosewell, Sir John Young, Sir Richard Saltonstall, Thomas Southcott, John Humfrey,
John Endicott, Simon Whetcombe, Isaac Johnson, Samuel Aldersey, John Ven, Matthew Cra
dock, George Harwood, Increase Nowell, Richard Pery, Richard Bellingham, Nathaniel Wright,
Samuel Vassall, Theophilus Eaton, Thomas Goffe, Thomas Adams, John Browne, Samuel
Browne, Thomas Hutchins, William Vassall, William Pinchion, and George Foxcrofte.
The names of those who came to Massachusetts Bay are printed in italics. Mr. John
Winthrop was neither an original grantee Dor a patentee ; and the first time his name appears
in the records of the Company was September 19th, 1629, after it had been determined to
transfer the government and patent to the colony. 62

978 APPENDIX I.
pany, his plantation there, with his very few companions, has not been allowed to
give date to the town.
§ 3. In July, 1629, Governor Cradock proposed to the Company to transfer the
government of the plantation from England to the colony — " to those that shall
inhabit there." A meeting of the Company was called together, August 28th, to
discuss the question about such a removal. On the same day it was ordered that
one committee be appointed to prepare arguments in favor of a removal, at the head
of which was placed Sir Bichard Saltonstall; and another committee to prepare
arguments against it. On the next day, August 29th, after long debate, it was
determined by a vote to be " the consent of the Company," that " the Government
patent should be settled in New England." At a " Court" (meeting of the Com
pany), on the 19th of October, it was determined that a Governor and assistants
should be chosen for New England, and the next day, Mr. John Winthrop was
chosen Governor, and Mr. John Humfrey, Deputy-Governor. At the last court of
the Company held in England, March 23, 1629-30, on board the Arbella, Mr.
Thomas Dudley was elected Deputy-Governor in place of Mr. Humfrey, who had
concluded not to go to New England at that time.
§ 4. After determining to remove the government of the Company to the colony,
and electing a Governor and assistants with that view, active preparations were made
for a large emigration the ensuing year. Seventeen emigrant ships left England in
the year 1630, of which fourteen sailed before the first of June. The first ship, the
Lyon, sailed in February, and arrived in Salem in May, where the passengers
probably remained, awaiting the arrival of their expected companions, with the
Governor and assistants. The next ship, the Mary and John, carrying the Dor
chester company, who first planted Dorchester, sailed from Plymouth on the 20th of
March, and arrived at Nantasket, Sunday, May 30th, fourteen days before the
arrival of the Governor. On the 8th of April, four ships, the Arbella, the Jewell,
the Ambrose, and the Talbot, sailed from the Isle of Wight, bringing the Governor,
Deputy-Governor, several, if not all, of the assistants, Rev. George Phillips, Rev.
John Wilson, and others, who afterwards held prominent places in the early history
of the colony. The Arbella arrived at Salem, June 12th, the Jewell, June 13th,
the Ambrose, June 18th, and the Talbot, July 2d.
§ 5. The passengers who arrived in these ships were not satisfied with Salem, as
possessing the desirable advantages for a permanent settlement, and soon after
landing, Governor Winthrop and Sir R. Saltonstall, with others, went, on the 17th
of June, to reconnoitre the country about the Bay, for the purpose of selecting a
place for settlement. Having selected the peninsula of Charlestown for that pur
pose, they returned to Salem, and, as soon and as fast as preparations could be made
for their accommodation, the passengers of the fleet proceeded from Salem to
Charlestown. § 6. In the Arbella came over the families of Sir R. Saltonstall, Rev. George
Phillips, and probably not less than a dozen other families, who were among the first
settlers of Watertown. In the addenda to Winthrop's Journal, Vol. II. p. 340, is
the copy of a catalogue of names, in the handwriting of Governor Winthrop, which
the editor, Mr. Savage, supposed to be a list of persons designing to come over, and
that the first list contained the intended passengers for one of the ships. This must
have been the Arbella, as on that list are the names of Mr. Winthrop, Sir Richard,
and others, who are known to have come in this ship. On that list are also the
names of fifteen very early Watertown families.
§ 7. Soon after the removal of the emigrants from Salem to Charlestown, a large
portion of them, with Sir Bichard Saltonstall as their leader, accompanied by Bev.
George Phillips as their pastor, proceeded about four miles up Charles Biver and
commenced a settlement, at first sometimes called Sir Bichard Saltonstall's planta
tion, but soon after, by the Court, named Watertown. It is difficult to determine
the date of the removal from Salem to Charlestown, as it was probably a gradual

HISTOEY OF WATERTOWN. 979
process ; nor is the exact date known, when Sir Richard and his followers left the
latter place for Watertown. But their stay in Charlestown must have been short ;
for only forty-eight days elapsed after the landing of Sir Bichard at Salem, before
Watertown affairs had become sufficiently matured to organize a church, when forty
men, with Sir Bichard at the head, signed the covenant.
§ 8. It seems clear that only three towns in the colony can claim priority of set
tlement over Watertown. Theirs., or oldest, is Salem, settled in 1628. The second
is Charlestown, which was first settled by a feeble colony of about a dozen men, sent
thither from Salem about the last of June, 1629, by Governor Endicott, by order of
the Company, in order to forestall Mr. Oldham in taking possession of that part of
the Bay, which his patent covered. The third was Dorchester, which was planted
by the Dorchester men, who arrived at Nantasket in the Mary and John, May 30,
1630. The fourth town was Watertown, begun by Sir Bichard Saltonstall probably
before the middle of July. On the day of the landing of the passengers of the
Mary and John at Nantasket (Sunday, May 30th), ten of their number, embracing
some of their chief personages, obtained a boat and proceeded first to Charlestown,
and thence up Charles Biver about five miles, and landed at a place in Watertown,
long afterwards known as " Dorchester Field," on or near which is now built the
U. S. Arsenal. As they landed in planting time, it is supposed that they planted
crops, which they returned to gather, and hence the name, Dorchester Field. They
had, however, staid there "not many days," when they were required to join their
companions, who had in the meantime moved from Nantasket to Matapan, soon after
named Dorchester. If this short residence and planting, by the Dorchester men,
were deemed a settlement, Watertown might claim priority over Dorchester; but it
has never been so considered.
§ 9. That a large number of settlers accompanied Sir Bichard to Watertown, or
very soon followed him, is evident from the following considerations : In the first
place, "about forty men" signed the covenant on the 30th of July. It is known
that some of them, probably most of them, had families. The number of female
members is not stated. There is good reason to believe that others, some of them
having large families, did not then sign the covenant, not being entitled to church
membership. In the next place, on the 30th of November, only four months later,
the Court of Assistants passed an order to collect of the several plantations, except
Salem and Dorchester, £60, for the maintenance of the two ministers; and the por
tion of the several towns was as follows : Boston, £20 ; Watertown, £20 ; Charles
town, £10; Boxbury, £6; Medford, £3 ; Winnesemet, £1. When it is considered
that, at this time, most of the office-holders and men of large estates, except Sir
Richard, belonged to Boston and Charlestown, and that assessments were made
according to estates or possessions, it is not unreasonable to suppose that the popula
tion of Watertown was then equal to that of Boston and Charlestown. It is also to
be observed that one-half of that whole assessment was assigned to Mr. Phillips, the
minister of Watertown.
§ 10. Until the end of the first year (1630), all the plantations and people in the
colony, excepting Salem and Dorchester, appear to have been regarded as two
churches or congregations, with their two pastors, between whom the assessment for
pastoral maintenance was to be equally divided. One of them was the church
organized in Charlestown, embracing Boston, and probably the few people of Box-
bury Medford, and Winnesemet. Here Governor Winthrop engaged to provide
accommodation for the minister, Mr. Wilson. The other church was that organized
in Watertown, where Sir Bichard engaged to provide for the minister, Mr. Phillips.

980 APPENDIX I.

THE ORGANIZATION AND AGE OF THE CHURCH.
§ 11. There is a question respecting dates, in which Watertown is interested, that
has engaged the earnest attention of several inquirers. It relates to the chronology
of the very early churches of Massachusetts Bay, and writers have differed in their
conclusions. Dr. Holmes [Mass. Hist. Coll., lst ser. vii., p. 15] places them in the
following order of dates: 1, Salem; 2, Charlestown; 3, Dorchester; 4, Boxbury;
5, Lynn ; 6, Watertown. Captain Edward Johnson makes Boston church (organized
in Charlestown) the fourth, and Watertown the seventh church. Bev. Samuel
Sewall [Am. Quar. Beg. xi., p. 48] considers Charlestown the third church, yet he
afterwards presents reasons for considering the churches organized at Charlestown
and Watertown coeval. Dr. Kendall, after a lucid collation of historical authori
ties, says, " If there be no mistake in the historical facts now adduced, it would seem
that Watertown church had a prior existence to the one at Charlestown, and was
second only to that of Salem, in Massachusetts Bay." [Centennial Discourse, p. 21.]
At the end of this discourse is a very elaborate note by "A. H." (Dr. Holmes), in
which he attempts to invalidate Dr. Kendall's conclusions, chiefly by arguing from
the usages of the churches, but overlooking an important element in the argument.
§ 12. Salem church may, without doubt, claim the priority. The first church of
Dorchester was the second, or next oldest. The people who collected together at
Plymouth, England, in order to embark in the Mary and John, "because they de
signed to live together after they should arrive here, met together in the New Hos
pital in Plymouth, and associated into church fellowship, and chose Mr. Maverick
and Mr. Warham to be their ministers." This was probably done in the early part
of March, 1630, as the Mary and John sailed on the 20th of that month. In 1636,
this church, or a large part of it, with its church organization, migrated from Dor
chester to Windsor, Connecticut, and of course ceased to be a church of Massachu
setts Bay. After this removal, the remnant of the church left in Dorchester, with
Mr. Bichard Mather and the company that came over with him, united and organized
another church, their covenant being dated August 23, 1636. From that time this
has been the oldest church in Dorchester ; but it must concede the priority to several
other churches.
§ 13. Since that migration to Windsor, Watertown has a fair claim to rank as the
second church of the colony. The only one that has a plausible claim to be even
coeval, is the first church of Boston, originally organized in Charlestown.
§ 14. Mather says, of the first settlers of Watertown, " they resolved that they
would combine into church fellowship as their first work." Upon the recommenda
tion of the Governor, July 30, 1630, was observed as a day of fasting and prayer
by the people both of Watertown and Charlestown. This religious observance was
proposed on account of the great sickness and mortality then prevailing in Charles
town ; and other churches, including that of Plymouth, were requested to observe
the same day in the same manner. There is no evidence that Watertown was then
afflicted in the same manner. The sufferings of the people of Charlestown were
attributed to the deficiency of good water, with which Watertown was abundantly
supplied, and for the sake of which they are said to have selected the site for their
settlement. While the Watertown people sympathized with their Christian neigh
bors in their afflictions, and prayed for their relief, we may suppose that they were
not so much engrossed therewith as to preclude the necessary attention to what they
had resolved to do " as their first work." After the close of these religious exercises
in Watertown, Mather says, "About forty men, whereof the first was that excellent
knight, Sir Bichard Saltonstall, then subscribed this instrument, in order unto their
coalesscence into a church estate ;" and he inserts the covenant, in extenso, "because it
was one of the first ecclesiastical transactions of this nature managed in the colony.

HISTORY OF WATERTOWN. 981
But in after time, they that joined unto the church [evidently implying that he
regarded it as a duly organized church from the date of that covenant] subscribed a
form of covenant somewhat altered," [implying that the signing of that first cove
nant was entering into church fellowship]. Again, Mather says, "A church of
believers being thus gathered at Watertown, this reverend man [Mr. Phillips] con
tinued for divers years among them," &e., evidently considering the "ecclesiastical
transaction" on the 30th of July, as " the gathering and ordering of the church,"
and the subsequent services of Mr. Phillips, as a continuance to fulfil the duties
arising from the relation then formed.
§ 15. The writer of the elaborate note at the end of Dr. Kendall's discourse,
already referred to, attempts to show from the usages of the early churches of New
England, that the signing of that covenant, on the 30th of July, " was but a prepa
ratory measure," only the first step taken towards the organization of a church, a
sort of extemporaneous, unpremeditated affair. But, in the first place, the length
and elaborate preparation of the covenant, and the number of men who signed it on
that occasion, render this supposition improbable. In the next place, we find no
reference in any work to any additional proceedings in organizing the church ; and it
is extremely improbable that Mather, in making his " more particular recital" of the
"gathering and ordering of the church," would have said so much about a mere
"preliminary measure," and made no reference to the more important consummation
thereof, if any occurred. In the third place, this reasoning from the usages of other
churches seems to be materially invalidated, if not entirely set aside, by a sentence
in Mather, which the writer of the note has entirely overlooked ; for it shows that
Mr. Phillips and his people did not conform to those usages, or rather that others
did not follow their example. " Mr. Phillips being better acquainted with the true
church discipline [Congregationalism] than most of the ministers that came with him
into the country, their proceedings [in Watertown] about the gathering and order
ing of their church were methodical enough, though not made in all things a pattern
for all the rest." Mr. Phillips was the first to assert and adopt Independency or
Congregationalism in New England, and Hubbard says that, for some time, he " was
without any to stand by him," and that, on that account, " he met with much oppo
sition from some of the magistrates." In noticing the ordination of Mr. Knowles,
as colleague of Mr. Phillips, December 9, 1640, Governor Winthrop says, " The
church of Watertown [not a council of ministers] ordained Mr. Knowles, * * * *
differing from the practice of other churches, as also they did in their privacy, not
giving notice thereof to the neighboring churches, nor to the magistrates, as the
common practice was." These statements elucidate the organization of the church
in Watertown, and they show what validity is to be attached to Dr. Holmes's argu
ment from the usages of other churches. [See pp. fl23 and 873.]
§ 16. The day of fasting and prayer in Charlestown (July 30) was observed in
the midst of a great affliction, on account of which the fast was especially recom
mended ; and it is scarcely supposable that the people were then in circumstances to
attend deliberately and so promptly to their ecclesiastical interests, even if they had
entertained the same notions of church discipline and order as did Mr. Phillips, Sir
Richard Saltonstall, and their associates. Accordingly, at the close of the religious
services on that day, only four men signed a covenant, which was brief, compared
with that of Watertown. Two days afterwards, five others signed the covenant, and
this number was increased by repeated accessions until the 27th of August, when,
says Winthrop, " We of the congregation kept a fast and chose Mr. Wilson, our
teacher, and Mr. Noel an elder, and Mr. Gager and Mr. Aspinwall, deacons." This
gives clearly the date of this church, which soon afterwards became the first church
of Boston. That this was, in early times, and for a long time, regarded as the date
of the organization of the church, is clearly shown by the following extract from the
diary of the Bev. Dr. Joseph Sewall, of Boston: "1730, August 27,1 preaoh'd
the Lecture from 2 Pet. 3, 15, 'Account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salv".'

982 APPENDIX I.
— N.B. It is ys day 100 years since the first Church in ys town was gather'd at
Charlestown." § 17. If the foregoing observations do not amount to a demonstration, there seems
to remain little or no doubt but that Watertown was the first church in New Eng
land, that distinctly adopted the Congregational order; that it may justly claim
priority over the first church of Boston, and, since the migration from Dorchester to
Windsor, is entitled to rank as the second church of Massachusetts Bay.

RELATIVE EARLY POPULATION AND WEALTH.
§ 18. The accompanying table, [p. 983] besides presenting the amount of taxes levied
for the uses of the Colony, shows the relative estimated wealth or valuation of the
very early towns for several years. It will also aid in forming an idea of their respec
tive populations. But assessments alone will not give the numbers correctly, as
taxes had respect to estates and not to the number of persons. At the first meet
ing of the deputies, ever held in the colony (May 4, 1634), the Court ordered
that, "in all rates and public charges the towns shall have respect to levy every
man according to his estate, and with consideration of all other his abilities what
soever, and not according to the number of persons." As Watertown was neither
a shire town, nor a place for much trade (not being a shipping-port, although acces
sible by small vessels), it did not offer to official men and capitalists such attrac
tions for settlement, as did some other towns. After the departure of Sir Bichard
Saltonstall, there was no Assistant or Magistrate, resident of Watertown, until 1686;
and wills and inventories show that there were in Watertown, no large estates,
such as are usually accumulated by trade. The people being entirely devoted to
agriculture, with a few exceptions, where a mechanical trade was carried on in the
intervals of farming, property was more equally distributed than among people who
could enter into commercial pursuits. For eighty years after the first settlement, there
was not more than one or two inventories that exceeded £700. An inspection of
the table, with these considerations in view, shows almost to a certainty, that, for
the first four years, Watertown was the most populous town in the Colony, and it is
not improbable that it continued so for fifteen or twenty years. In 1645, the levy
on Boston was, to that of Watertown, as 100 to 41J. But Boston was then the
residence of the Governor and of the principal merchants ; the seat of government
and the emporium of trade, and of course the foeus of wealth. Johnson, in 1651,
[Wond. Work. Prov.] in giving some brief statistics of the very early towns, gives
no statistics of Boston, as to the number of houses, or families, or of the acres
under tillage. It was " the centre town and metropolis," " the mart of the land."
But he calls Watertown " this great town consisting of one hundred and sixty
families ;" with " almost two hundred and fifty souls in church fellowship ;" with
" land in tillage near upon one thousand eight hundred acres ;" " their herd of kine
and cattle of that kind, about four hundred and fifty, with some store of sheep and
goats." His account of the other towns shows that Watertown, in most, if not in
all of those particulars, outranked all the other towns, except Boston, of which, as
just stated, he has given no statistics.

Notes to the preceding Table.
§ 20. The first five taxes were for specific objects ; the otherB for general uses.
1 In this tax, Mr. Theophilus Eaton was individually taxed £20 without giving his resi
dence. It was a l-75th of the tax of the whole colony. His name is on a levy of the pre
ceding November, but not the sum given.
2 The name of Wessaguscus was changed to Weymouth, September 2, 1635.
3 Natasket, or Nantasket was taxed only twice. The following order implies that the
plantation was then broken up. In June, 1641, the Court ordered that a plantation be forth
with set up at Nantasket "for the furthering of fishing." The name was changed to Hull,
May 29, 1644.
4 Winesemet was annexed to Boston, September 3, 1634, and ceased to be taxed sepa
rately. s Saugus and Marble Harbor were taxed together in 1632. " It was proved to the Court,
March 3, 1635-6, that Marbleneck belongs to Salem," and it was separated from Salem and
incorporated as a town, May 2, 1649. The name SaUgus, was changed to Lynn, November
20, 1637.
6 The name New Town was changed to that of Cambridge, May 2, 1638.
7 A plantation was begun at Agawam as early as September, 1630, but was abandoned
by order of the Court. A permanent settlement was made there in the spring of 1633, and
on the 5th of August, 1634, the Court gave it the name of Ipswich.
8 May 6, 1635, the Court allowed Wessacumcon to be a plantation, and at the same
time named it Newbury.
9 The name Bare Cove, was changed to Hingham, September 2, 1635.
10 The order for planting Dedham was passed by the Court, September 3, 1635, and by
an order passed September 8, 1636, the plantation was named Dedham, and exempted from
public charges for three years fro__i the first of May next.
11 The plantation beyond Merrimack River was named Colchester, September 4, 1639,
and Salisbury, October 7, 1640.
12 The order for making a plantation at Musketaquid, was passed September 3, 1635,
and named Concord ; and it was exempted from all public charges, except trainings, for
three years.
18 March 3, 1635-6, the Court ordered a plantation to be settled at Winnacunnet; on the
22d of May, 1639, gave it the powers and privileges of a town, and the next September, 4th,
gave it the name of Hampton.
14 At this Court (June, 1642), the following towns were taxed for the first time " for public
uses," viz.: Braintree, £14; Rowley, £15; Sudbury, £15; Gloucester, £5.10.
15 At this Court (May, 1645), Woburn was taxed for the first time £7, and Wenham
£3.10. " for public uses."
THE NAME OP THE TOWN.
§ 21. The Indian name of Watertown has been usually printed, Pigsgusset. Tt is
sometimes found written Pigs go suck. The correct orthography is' probably
Pequusset, as it is usually and very often found so written in the early town records.
It is sometimes written Peguusset. There was a tract of land on the north border
of the town, a very little distance east of Lexington Street, then called Concord
Road, which is often mentioned in deeds, and in lists of possessions, called Pe
quusset Meadow or Pequusset Common, and for many years used as a cow-common.
There was a way leading to it, sometimes called Pequusset Road, and likewise a
Pequusset Hill. The extent of the meadow, which bore this name, has not been
ascertained. [See Section 81.]
§ 22. There has been some question as to the origin of the present name, Water-
town. It has been asserted or surmised, on what authority I know not, that it
was named for Waterton, a village in Yorkshire, which name Sir Richard Salton
stall wished to perpetuate. This seems to be favored by the circumstance that
nearly all the very early plantations in. that vicinity were named for towns in
England ; yet very little credit is to be attached to it. We find no evidence that
there ever was a place of that name in Yorkshire. A daughter of Sir Richard
Saltonstall, evidently a well-educated lady, in writing to her brother Samuel, in
1644, directs it to Watertowne. If it had been named for a Waterton in England,

SCALE or MILES.

HISTORY OF WATERTOWN. 985
in compliance with the wishes of her father, it is extremely likely that she would
have known it, and retained the correct orthography. [See Note, p. 916.]
§ 23. It is much more probable that the ancient and generally received tradition
is correct — that it was so named because it was so well watered. Johnson [Wond.
Work. Prov., chap. 28], calls Watertown " a fruitful plot of large extent, watered
with many pleasant springs, and rivulets, running like rivers throughout her body."
After describing the inconvenience and sufferings encountered at Charlestown for
the want of good water, Prince [Annals, p. 244] says of the settlers of Water-
town, "some travel up into the main till they come to a place well watered,
whither Sir R. Saltonstall, with Mr. Phillips and others went, and settled a
plantation and called it Watertown." Hubbard does not deem the being well watered,
a sufficient reason for so naming it, "most of the other plantations being well
watered, though none of them planted on so large a fresh stream as this was."
Perhaps some plantations, afterwards settled, were as well watered, but at the time
Watertown received its name, no other plantation could, in this respect, be compared
with it. [See Sections 120-130.]
At a Court of Assistants, September, 7, 1630, the second that was held after their
arrival in the Colony, it was ordered that " the towne vpon Charles Ryver shall be
called Waterton." In the margin of this record, it is written, " Water Toune."

MAP.
The accompanying map is intended to show the relation of Watertown to the sur
rounding towns ; its original boundaries and extent, as determined by the Court ;
the overlapping of the grants made to Watertown and Concord, and the several ex
cisions, by which Watertown became reduced to its present small dimensions. Also
some of its most important localities. S. the homestall of Sir Richard Saltonstall,
and afterwards of his son Samuel, a. The portion of territory taken from Water-
town and annexed to Cambridge in 1754; b. Dorchester Field; c. Pequusset Mea
dow or Common ; d. the portion of Newton (about six hundred acres) annexed to
Waltham in 1849. Nearly all of this was included in the ancient Fuller Farm, and
constituted about two-thirds of it; e. Mount Feake; m. Mount Auburn Cemetery;
I. 1. 1. "lieu of Township" lands; n. Nonantum Hill. P. B. Prospect Hill; s. r. Sud
bury Road ; x. the N. W. corner of Watertown, according to the original order of
Court; y. the corners of Watertown and Cambridge (Lex.) contiguous to Concord.
The lines marked 1, 2, 3, 4, denote the Squadron lines, or the dividing lines of the
four Great Dividends. This mark [*] denotes the sites of the three ancient mills,
on Charles River at the bridge, on Beaver Brook, and on Stony Brook. The village
or the centre of a town is denoted by the figure of a meeting-house. The four squa
dron lines on the map, appear to begin at the eastern boundary of Waltham, and
they did so very nearly ; but the exact line has not been ascertained in its whole ex
tent. [See Sect. 86.]

TERRITORY AND BOUNDARIES.
§ 24. Most of the ships that came to this colony in 1630, landed their passengers
at Salem, whence they proceeded to Charlestown. Other ships came with their pas
sengers directly to Charlestown, and this place became the rendezvous of all the
immigrants of that year, except those who came in the Mary and John. From
Charlestown, this concourse of people dispersed to the several sites, where planta
tions were commenced in that year. These were Watertown, Boston, Roxbury,

986 APPENDIX I.
Medford, Lynn, and Winesemet. Watertown is here placed first, because the first
and the most numerous body of planters that left Charlestown that year went thither.
At the first planting of those towns they probably had no definite limits, except
where they had natural boundaries. The settlers selected inviting spots, on or near
the margin of the bay, or on navigable water, which were separated from each other,
either by natural boundaries or by intervening spaces, then deemed sufficiently broad
to avoid future collision or encroachment. The territory of each plantation extended
back into the wilderness in different directions from the Bay like radii, in some in
stances indefinitely, until limits were afterwards assigned to them by the General
Court. Numerous towns, since that time, have been incorporated within the terri
tory originally belonging to those few first settled towns.
§ 25. The site selected by Sir Richard Saltonstall and his companions was more
remote from the Bay than either of the other plantations begun that year, and Wa
tertown was the first of the inland towns. It was, however, upon the tide-water of
Charles River, which was there navigable for only small vessels ; but the settlement
very soon, if not at first, extended above tide-water. As the company of planters
who first went there was large, and as they were not compacted into a village or
dense population, like other early plantations, they must have been scattered over a
very considerable extent of territory. In many of the plantations the settlers were
required to reside within half a mile or a shorter distance from the meeting-house,
for the sake of mutual defence against the Indians. But we have not discovered
any such order or compact in respect to Watertown.
§ 26. The first planters went to Watertown before any attempt was made to settle
"The New Town" (Cambridge), and the territories of Watertown and Charlestown,
although not yet defined or specially granted, seem at first to have been contiguous,
and to have been regarded as embracing all that territory which now constitutes
Cambridge, West Cambridge, and Lexington. This is evident, or at least is ren
dered extremely probable, by the language of both Winthrop and Johnson.
§ 27. In December, 1630, the Governor and assistants had repeated meetings, at
different places, in order to select a site for a fortified town, and for the capital of
the colony. At their last meeting, December 21, Governor Winthrop says, " We
met again at Watertown, and there, upon view of a place a mile beneath ihe town,
[i. e. the central point, or residence of the chief persons], all agreed it a fit place for
a fortified town." The homestall of Sir Richard was situated on Charles River
within that strip of territory which was taken from Watertown and annexed to Cam
bridge in 1754, and was about a mile from the site of Harvard College. Wood
[New England's Prospect], whose distances are not exact, says Watertown was about
half a mile westward from Newtown, and " this town" (the central or chief point of
Watertown) was within half a mile of the Great Pond. Winthrop [i. p. 73] says,
Watertown wear was " three miles above the town." Between the homestall of Sir
Richard and the New Town [Camb.] line, there was only one small intervening lot (13
acres, belonging to Thomas Brigham), and this homestall was bounded on the north
west by a lot of Mr. Phillips, supposed to be the one upon which Sir Richard en
gaged (August 23, 1630) to build a house for Mr. Phillips. These lots of Sir
Richard and Mr. Phillips were about three miles below the wear, half a mile south
of Fresh Pond, and one mile from Newtown ; and that point, or the immediate
neighborhood, was undoubtedly what was meant by "the town."
§ 28. The Newtown line being run thus near to Sir Richard's residence, it is
highly probable that a considerable number of his companions were found to have
settled within the limits of Newtown. This view is corroborated by Johnson [Won
der-Working Prov. chap. 28], who says, "They [the first settlers of Newtown] chose
a place situate on Charles River, between Charlestown and Watertown, where they
erected a town, called Newtown, and now named Cambridge, being in form like a
list cut off from the broadcloath of ihe aforenamed towns." We may infer from this
language of Johnson, that Newtown, at first, possessed no land on the south side of

HISTORY OF WATERTOWN. 987
Charles River. Wc may infer it also from the language of an order passed by the
Court of Assistants, June 5, 1632, granting 200 acres to Thomas Dudley, "on the
west side of Charles River, over against [not in] the New Town." It is probable
that, before the planting of Newtown, all the land between Charles River and Rox
bury, and extending from Back Bay to the southwest, was considered as belonging
to Boston and Watertown, with perhaps an undefined line between them. What
portions of this belonged to these two towns respectively has not been ascertained,
but probably chiefly to Boston. We have not discovered any evidence that any land
on the south side of the river belonged to Newtown before 1634 ; but it is very
probable. § 29. The population of Newtown had increased so rapidly, chiefly by the acces
sion of Mr. Hooker and his followers in 1633, that, in May, 1634, scarcely three
years from their beginning, they "complained of straitness for want of land, espe
cially meadow," and asked leave of the Court to look out for further enlargement
and removal, which was granted. At the next Court, held September 4th, they
asked leave to remove to Connecticut; and the question of "the removal of New
town" was " the main business" of this Court, " was debated divers days," and
caused the adjourning of the Court [Winthrop, i. p. 140]. The first and main/ar
gument for removal was "their want of accommodation for their cattle," and their
inability to " receive any more of their friends to help them." One answer to this
was, that " they might be accommodated with enlargement, which other towns
offered." Upon putting the question of removal to Connecticut, a majority of the
deputies (15 to 10) were 'in favor of assenting to it, but a large majority of the
assistants voted against it. Upon this disagreement in the votes of the two bodies
" grew a great difference between the Governor and assistants and the deputies."
But after keeping " a day of humiliation," and a sermon by Mr. Cotton, " the con
gregation of Newtown came and accepted of such enlargement as had formerly been
offered by Boston and Watertown."
§ 30. At what time this offer was made has not been ascertained, but probably at
the same time, if not before, Newtown people asked permission of the Court " to
remove their habitations, or to have an addition to what they already have ;" for at
the same Court, May, 1634, it was ordered that " Boston shall have convenient en
largement at Mount Walliston," probably as a compensation for the land which they
offered to Newtown. A committee, of which Mr. John Oldham, of Watertown, was
chairman, was appointed to " set out" and to " draw a plot" of this grant at Mount
Walliston. Soon afterwards (September, 1634) Winesemet was annexed to Boston.
The land offered by Boston is designated as " the ground about Muddy River."
Whether it embraced only what has been since known as Muddy River (Brookline),
or embraced also a part or the whole of Brighton, the records do not show. The
latter is not improbable. The land offered by Watertown was "the meadow on this
side Watertown wear, containing about thirty acres, be the same more or less and
now used by the inhabitants of Newtown." On September 25, 1634, the Court
confirmed these offered lands to Newtown, with the proviso, " that if Mr. Hooker
and the congregation now settled here shall remove hence, that then the aforesaid
meadow shall return to Watertown, and the ground at Muddy River to Boston." In
1636 Mr. Hooker and his congregation moved to Hartford, and of course the proviso
would take effect, and the grant of the offered lands be void. The land about
Muddy River reverted to Boston, and was long afterwards incorporated and named
Brookline ; but Watertown did not recover her meadow.
§ 31. Watertown and Newtown, soon after the offered lands were confirmed to the
latter differed about their boundaries, and on March 4, 1634-5, the Court referred
" the difference concerning all bounds of land between them" to a committee " to
determine the same before the next Court of Assistants." This committee reported
on the 7th of April, and their determination was such as to prevent the reversion to
Watertown of the meadow, according to the aforesaid proviso, upon the migration of

APPENDIX I.
Mr. Hooker and his company, which occurred the next year. The following is their
report : —
" It is agreed by us, whose names are here underwritten, that the bounds between
Watertown and Newtown shall stand as they are already from Charles River to the
great Fresh Pond ; and from the tree marked by Watertown and Newtown on the
southeast side of the pond, over the pond, to a white poplar tree on the northwest
side of the pond, and from that tree up into the country northwest-by-west, upon a
straight line by a meridian compass ; and further, that Watertown shall have one
hundred rods in length above the weare, and one hundred rods beneath the weare in
length, and threescore rods in breadth from the river on the south side thereof, and
all the rest of the ground on that side the jiver to lye to Newtown.
[Signed] " William Colbran,
" John Johnson,
" Abraham Palmer."
§ 32. The foregoing were the only definite boundaries of Watertown at that time,
which was before the settlement of either Concord or Dedham. Orders for the
settlement of both these towns adjoining Watertown on the northwest and south
west, were passed September 3, 1635; but the order for "setting out the bounds
between Watertown and Concord, and between Watertown and Dedham" was not
passed until May 2, 1638. The western limit of Watertown had previously
(March 2, 1635-6) been fixed by an order that " the bounds of Watertown shall
run eight miles into the country from their meeting-house, within the lines already
set out" [on the north and south, in the Report of the Committee above inserted].
On the 8th of June, 1638, the Court ordered, " for the final end of all difference
between Watertown, Concord, and Dedham, that Watertown eight miles shall be ex
tended upon the line between them [Watertown] and Cambridge, so far as Concord
bounds give leave; and that their [Watertown] bounds by the river shall run eight
miles into the country in a straight line, as also the river doth for the most part run,
and so to take in all the land of that [north] side of the river, which will not fall
into the square five miles granted to Dedham ; and that the neck on the same [north
or left] side of the river near to Dedham town, shall be cast into the said square of
five miles to make up the same, so as the said square is to be accounted by quan
tity and not by situation, because the place will not admit of it ;* and that their
[Watertown's] eight miles from Watertown meeting-house shall be by a line between
both the other [north and south] lines."
§ 33. The controversy between Watertown and Concord related to conflicting
claims to grants of land made by the General Court. The report of the committee
already inserted, made in April, 1635, assigned to Watertown, as her northern.
* In May, 1638, the General Court granted to the town of Roxbury 4000 acres of land,
"because Dedham doth shorten them" (by a boundary line between Dedham and Roxbury,
reported by committee and adopted at this Court). The order for this grant was repeated in
May, 1640, but was not immediately carried into effect. In October, 1643, the Court ap
pointed a committee " to lay out the land of Roxbury men," — " if it be there to be had near
Dedham and Watertown," but "Dedham hath three weeks further time granted them to
settle their bounds ; and then Roxbury men" to have their four thousand acres " between
Watertown, Sudbury, and Dedham." (Col. Records and Hist. Rox., p. 69, &c.) This seems to
be that tract of land, or a part of it, which was granted by Dedham to the Natick Indians,
about 1650, in exchange for Deerfield ; and it seems probable that, at the end of the three
weeks, when Dedham had " set her bounds," space was not left for the Roxbury people.
Watertown and Dedham were contiguous, until the incorporation of Needham in 1711, only
a short time before Weston was set off from Watertown and incorporated.
The Natick Indians are said to have been gathered together from dispersed and wandering
life into a civil society by the Rev. John Elliot, about 1650 ; their town was laid out the
next year, and their settlement was recognized as a district, as early as 1652. Natick was
incorporated as an English District, in 1762, and incorporated as a town in 1781. [See
Bigelow's Hist, of Natick, p. 21.]

HISTORY OF WATERTOWN. 989
boundary a line beginning at Fresh Pond, and running straight W. N. W. into thfi
country indefinitely, that is, until the western boundary of Watertown should be
determined. These lines continued (the N. and W. boundaries of Watertown)
would meet within the present limits of Concord, near Walden Pond, including most
of that Pond, half of Sandy Pond, and much the largest part of Lincoln. About
six months after the northern or northeastern boundary of Watertown was thus
reported and determined, but before it had been surveyed and marked, Concord was
granted by the General Court, and their " six myles of land square" was so located
as to overlap the land already granted to Watertown. As the land was first sur
veyed and settled by Concord people, they were allowed to retain it, notwithstanding
the prior title of Watertown.
§ 34. It has just been stated that the General Court assigned the western limits
of Watertown in March, 1636. It does not appear from the Court records, at what
time the line was first surveyed ; but in May, 1651, commissioners (John Sherman,
in behalf of Watertown, and Walter Haynes, Edmund Rice, Edmund Goodenow,
Thomas Noyes, John Grout, John Ruddocke, and Hugh Griffin, in behalf of Sud
bury), being authorized to settle the division line between Watertown and Sudbury,
did "consent and conclude that the line which was formerly by Mr. John Oliver
drawn in that plan, and the same marks revised about three years since, in the
presence of some of each of the towns aforesaid, commonly called ihe old line be
twixt Watertown and Sudbury — shall forever stand and be accounted the true parti
tion line." This line began at the south point of Concord, and was directly con
tinuous with its southeast boundary, running ninety-six rods S. 30° 15' W.,
"to an angle betwixt two hills;" thence "south about half a point westerly"
[S. 2° 20' W.], until it came within eighty rods of Nonesuch Pond, where "Sud
bury bounds ended." By consulting the map, it will be seen that by this survey a
small triangular piece of the land, originally granted to Watertown, was annexed to
Sudbury. § 35. Two early grants of land were made to Watertown by the General Court,
the second of which, was in compensation for land taken off by Concord. It is not
improbable that the first grant was made with the same intention, and that the
second was made because the first grant failed. On this point we are left to con
jecture, and to inference not entirely clear. In November, 1637, by the Court,
" Watertown is granted one thousand five hundred acres of meadow, if it be there
convenient, at the new plantation [Sudbury], upon the river Concord is upon." The
reason for this grant is not given in the record, but the date and the location of
it render it probable that it was in compensation for the land taken off by
Concord. Sudbury was soon afterwards incorporated, and this conditional grant
to Watertown being within its limits, it would not be " convenient," to allow
Watertown to have it. It is to be observed that Sudbury was a Watertown settle
ment and granted to Watertown petitioners, and this large grant might be deemed
to supersede, and more than make good the lesser grant. But it is probable that it
was not so viewed, and that the second grant was made in lieu of the first. We
find in the town records, no mention of this first grant of one thousand five hundred
acres, until after the lapse of more than seventy-five years, when the town may have
lost sight of the relation between this first and a subsequent grant. A committee
was appointed to search the Colonial Records, wherein were found mentioned two
grants of land to Watertown, neither of which had been made good by location and
survey; and oh January 14th, 1722-3, the town "chose Col. [Jonas] Bond, Nathaniel
Bright and William Shattuck, to address the General Court, to obtain two thousand
acres of upland, and one thousand five hundred acres of meadow, formerly granted
to Watertown and not yet taken up, and to see whether it should be divided between
Watertown and Weston."
§36. This is, we think, the only reference in the records to those one thousand
five hundred acres of meadow, subsequent to the following second grant. In May,
1651 at the same .time that the boundary between Watertown and Sudbury was

990 APPENDIX I.
finally settled, the General Court ordered, " that Watertown shall have two thousand
acres of land laid out near Assabet River, adjoining to the bounds of Sudbury, in
respect of such land as was wanting to them, which was granted to them formerly by
this Court to be the bounds of their town, and that Capt. Willard and Lieut. Goodenow
are appointed to see this done and performed, and to make return thereof to this
Court at their next session, provided it be not prejudicial to any former grants."
This committee did not perform this service, probably on account of the terms
of the proviso. The reason for this grant is more distinctly shown in the town
records. At a town meeting, held March 12th, 1660-1, "Capt. Mason, Lieut. Beers,
and Serj. Wincoll were appointed to find out where to have laid out the two thousand
acres granted by the General Court in recompense of some land taken off by Concord."
The " bounds of the town," referred to in the preceding order of the Court, was
undoubtedly the line before referred to, beginning at Fresh Pond and running
W. N. W. straight into the country. Committees were appointed by the town very
numerous times, in order to obtain of the Court the location and survey of this grant,
but without success, until after the lapse of more than one hundred years. After
this great delay, exceeding in duration unending chancery suits, the grant was
located " at Wachusett Hill," and divided between Watertown, Waltham, and
Weston. Waltham and Weston sold their shares in 1756, each for £267. 6. 8=
£2005. 0. T. Watertown sold her share of it about the same time.
§ 37. Within the boundaries of Watertown, as determined by the Court in April,
1635, were embraced the present towns of Watertown, Waltham, Weston, the largest
part of Lincoln, and that part of Cambridge lying east of Mount Auburn Cemetery,
between Fresh Pond and Charles River. Watertown is now one of the smallest
townships in the State, and it has been reduced to its present dimensions by repeated
excisions. The earliest was in 1631, already mentioned, when a strip was cut off
from the whole northern border, in order to make up the township of Newtown
(Cambridge). The next was in 1634, when thirty acres of meadow, on the south
side of Charles River, was offered and relinquished to Newtown, in order, with the
additional offer of Boston, to induce Mr. Hooker and his congregation to relinquish
their purpose to remove to Connecticut. The third excision was in 1635, when
Concord was granted, and trenched so far upon the land previously allowed to Wa
tertown, that the Court granted Watertown 2000 acres of land as a compensation for
the loss. The fourth excision took place in 1712, when about one-half of the land
was taken off and incorporated, January 1, 1712-13, as the town of Weston. This
had been commonly designated as Watertown Farms; afterwards, for a few years
before the incorporation, as the Farmers' Precinct; sometimes as the third Military
Precinct, or the precinct of Lieutenant Jones's company ; sometimes as the Western
most Precinct, in which case Waltham was called the Middle Precinct.
§ 38. The earliest mention in the records of a boundary between the Farms and
the rest of Watertown, is Mar. 13, 1682-3, when it was voted that " those that
dwell on west of Stony Brook be freed from school tax in 1683." October 2,
1694, it was voted that " our neighbors, the farmers, being upon endeavors to have
a meeting-house among themselves, the town consents that they may come as far as
Beaver Brook, upon the country road leading to Sudbury, and so to run north and
south upon a line, to the end there may be peace and settlement among us." This
line was so far east as to set off to the Farms more than three-fourths of the present
territory of Waltham, and about three-fourths of the land of the whole town. We
find no subsequent mention of such a boundary, and it was so different from the
obvious eastern boundary of Watertown Farms, and from the one afterwards adopted,
that it might be suspected that there was an error in the record, and instead of
Beaver Brook, it should be Stony Brook. But that vote was passed in the early
stage of a very earnest controversy about the removal of the meeting-house from the
eastern to a more central part of the town, and if the record is correct, it was proba
bly passed by an accidental majority, who hoped, and intended thereby, to put to
rest the project of a change of the location of the meeting-house.

HISTORY OF WATERTOWN. 991
§ 39. At a town meeting, held January 6, 1701-2, it was voted "that the bounds
of the Farmers' Precinct for the ministry is from Charles River along the brook
called Stony Brook, that cometh out of a pond called Beaver Pond, said Precinct
being on the westerly side of said brook." This vote seems to be only an iteration
or sanction of an order of the General Court [Records vii. p. 49], passed July 20,
1699, respecting the boundary line between the " Farmes" and Watertown. " It is
Resolved and Ordered that the Bounds of sd Precinct shall extend from Charles
River to Stony Brook Bridge, and from sa Bridge up the Brook Northerly to Robert
Harrington's Farm, the Brook to be the boundary, including the said Farm and com
prehending all the Farms and Farm lands to the lines of Cambridge and Concord,
and from thence [the Brook] all Watertown lands to their utmost Southward and
Westward bounds." On the 7th of May, 1708, the town appointed a committee
(Joseph Sherman, Lieutenant Jonathan Smith, and Joseph Peirce, Sen.) " to run a
line between the town and the Farmers' Precinct, referring to the ministry." This
was done on the 28th of May, and the line (minutely described in the records) began
at Charles River, followed up Stony Brook to Beaver Pond, " and from said pond to
a black pine, at the bounds where Cambridge and Watertown and Concord meet;
said Farmers' Precinct being on the west side of said brook."
§ 40. The petition of the Farmers' Precinct for incorporation was presented by
Captain Francis Fulham, Lieutenant Josiah Jones, and Mr. Daniel Estabrook, and at
a town meeting, December 2, 1712, upon the hearing of said petition, the town "did
by a free vote manifest their willingness that the said Farmers should be a township
by themselves, according to their former bounds," with proviso and conditions, viz.,
1. That the Farmers continue to pay a due share of the expense of maintaining the
Great Bridge over Charles River ; 2. That they pay their full and due share of the
debts now due by the town ; 3. That they do not in any way infringe the rights of
proprietors having land, but not residing among the Farmers.
§ 41. The present boundaries of Weston, on the north and east, do not correspond
with those described, when it was set off as a precinct. Beaver Pond, there men
tioned, is in Lincoln, and the pine, where the bounds of Cambridge (Lex.), Water-
town, and Concord meet, was not far north of the centre of Lincoln, which was
incorporated as a1 precinct, April 24, 1746, and as a town, April 19, 1754, and which
was made up of land taken from the northern part of Weston, the southern part of
Concord, and the western part of Lexington. Nor does Stony Brook continue to be
the entire boundary between Weston and Waltham. This line of boundary, after
following up Stony Brook about a mile and a half, leaves it at nearly a right angle,
and runs N. 30° E. 344 rods; then N. 60° W. 124 rods; then N. 38° W. 136
rods; then N. 60° W. 76 rods, where it meets the corners of Weston, Waltham,
and Lincoln. From this point the boundary between Weston and Lincoln runs,
with many angles, nearly due west, until it reaches the boundary line of Wayland
(originally Sudbury).
§ 42. Weston extends considerably farther south than either Watertown or Wal
tham, and on its east and southeast border, for 840 rods, it is separated from New
ton by Charles River. The southern boundary is a line beginning at Charles River,
and running W. 13° S. 993 rods, separating it from Needham, until it reaches
Natick. Its western boundary is a line beginning at that corner of Needham, run
ning N. 2° 20' E. 377 rods, separating it from Natick; then continued in the same
direction 1360 rods; then N. 30° 15' E. 52 rods, separating it from Wayland, and
there reaches the corner of Lincoln.
§ 43. The next excision from Watertown took place, April 19, 1738, when Wal
tham was incorporated, taking off about three-fifths of her already much diminished
territory. Before the incorporation of Weston, Waltham was sometimes called the
Middle Precinct, or the precinct of Captain Garfield's company; afterwards the West
Precinct of Watertown. When incorporated, Waltham was bounded on the south by
Charles River ; on the west by Weston, boundary already described ; northwest by

992 APPENDIX I.
Lincoln ; north or northeast, by that line already described, beginning at Fresh Pond,
and running straight west-northwest to Concord line, and separating Waltham from
West Cambridge and Lexington ; east by a line beginning at Charles River, and
running north 48° east, until it reaches West Cambridge, and separating it from
Watertown. As early as 1754, the farm of Matthew Bridge, afterwards of his son
Nathaniel, in the extreme western angle of Cambridge (now W. Cambridge), was
annexed to Waltham. In 1849, Waltham received an accession of between 600 and
700 acres of land on the south side of Charles River, by the annexation of a part of
Newton. Nearly the whole of this tract belonged to tbe ancient Fuller Farm, and
included about two-thirds of it. A small portion of this addition, at the southwest,
belonged to the ancient Williams Farm.
§ 44. About sixteen years after the incorporation of Waltham, Watertown suffered
another excision from her eastern border. The present boundary between Water-
town and Cambridge (between Charles River and Fresh Pond) is not the original
one, mentioned in the report of the committee, previously inserted. [See Section
31.] In April, 1754, a strip of land, about half a mile wide, was taken from the
east border of Watertown and annexed to Cambridge, as appears by the following
transaction of the General Court. [Records, vol. xx. p. 228-9] :
In the House of Representatives was read and accepted the following " Report on
Cambridge Inhabitants' Petition, referring to Watertown, viz. : The Committee on
the petition of the First Parish in Cambridge, praying that a number of the inhabit
ants of the town of Watertown, with their estates, be annexed to them. Having
viewed the situation, heard the parties, and finding it most convenient for said
inhabitants to attend the public worship of God in the said Parish, as they usually
have done for many years past, and it being their desire to be set off to the town of
Cambridge, as well as to the First Parish aforesaid : Report that all the inhabitants
and lands within the following bounds be annexed to the Town and First Parish
aforesaid, to do duty and receive privilege in the same : The dividing line between
the said Cambridge and Watertown to begin at Charles River, and from thence to
run in the line between the lands of Simon Coolidge, Moses Stone, Christopher
Grant, and the Thatchers [on the one side], and the lands of Colonel Brinley and
Ebenezer Wyeth to the Fresh Pond, so called [on the other] : All which is submitted
per Joseph Pynchon per order." Read and concurred in by the Council, and con
sented to by the Governor, April 19, 1754. Within the strip of land thus annexed
to Cambridge, Watertown still holds a wharf or landing on Charles River.
§ 45. This boundary line may be seen on the maps, beginning at the most southern
point of Fresh Pond, running nearly south to Mount Auburn Street, then east along
that street; then through the northeast corner of Mount Auburn Cemetery, and
thence nearly south to the river. The original eastern boundary line has not been
accurately ascertained ; but it probably corresponded nearly with the present Vassal
Lane and Sparks Street, beginning at the southeast side of the east bay of Fresh
Pond, and running to the most northern point of the bend in the river. By consult
ing a map, it will be seen that until 1754, much the largest part of Fresh Pond was
within the limits of Watertown, and since that time less than one-half of it.
§ 46. The small portion of Watertown at present lying on the south side of the
river, has not the exact dimensions assigned to it in 1635, although about the same
quantity of land. March 1, 1704-5, a committee (Jonas Bond, Esq., Captain B.
Garfield, and Joseph Sherman) was appointed "to find out the line between Water-
town and Newton, on the south side of Charles River." The committee reported,
November 16, 1705, minutely describing the line, as may be seen in the town
records, and which is nearly the same as that delineated in the recent map of Water-
town. The line began at high-water mark on Charles River, at the northeast corner of
farm, formerly Mr. Mayhew's, and ran straight sputhwest 2° west, 41f rods; then a
straight line west-northwest 5° north, 216 rods ; then a straight line northeast by
north, 80 rods, down to the river. [On the recent map this northwest boundary is

HISTORY OF WATERTOWN. 993
93$ rods.] It was signed by the above committee on the part of Watertown, and
by John Spring, Edward Jackson, and Ebenezer Stone, on the part of Newton.
§ 47. We have not discovered any estimate of the number of acres — of the total
area of Watertown, as originally granted ; but from a comparison of the known area
of a large part of it with the whole of it, as seen on the map, it may be supposed
to have been about 29,000 acres. The present areas of Watertown, Waltham, and
Weston are as follows : — AREA OP WATERTOWN SINCE 1754. Acres. Acres.

EARLY RECORDS.
§ f 46. There is no record extant of any municipal transactions of Watertown, of
earlier date than 1634, four years after its first settlement. The record in the first
volume commences with what is marked page 2 ; and it has been supposed that
some part, at least one page, of the town records, has been lost. There is, however,
good reason to conclude that only a title page is lost ; that with the beginning of
this volume of records, there was a commencement of a new order in municipal
affairs. It was immediately after the occurrence of an important change in the
government of the colony ; when a house of Deputies or Representatives became a
constituent part of it. As the people, from this date, began to be represented in
the government of the colony, so " the ordering of the civil affairs of the town"
began to be intrusted to a body of freemen, chosen annually for that purpose. Then
originated that peculiarly New England municipal body, a board of select men.
Previously to this date, the civil and ecclesiastical affairs of the town were com
mingled together, without any distinct line between them. No one had a right to
63

994 APPENDIX I.
vote, unless he were a freeman ; none could be admitted a freeman unless he were
a church member, and the church was Congregational, wherein its affairs were
managed by the votes of the members. The church officers seem to have taken the
lead both in civil and ecclesiastical affairs, and it is probable that, previously to
1634, the records were kept accordingly. Whatever those records were, they are lost.
§ f 47. As an illustration of the preceding view, the following transaction is ad
duced. On the 3d of February, 1631-2, the Court ordered that £60 be levied out
of the several plantations, " towards the making of a palisado about the Newtown."
A warrant was sent to Watertown, for £8, which was its proportion of that levy.
Hereupon "the pastor [Mr. Phillips] and elder [Mr. Richard Browne], &c,
assembled the people and delivered their opinions, that is was not safe to pay moneys
after that sort, for fear of bringing themselves and their posterity into bondage."
For this they were summoned before the Governor and Assistants, on the 17th of
the same month, and there was " much debate ;" but, being the weaker party,
they or some of them, were compelled to make a retraction, and submission. [Win
throp, I. p. 70.] It is not improbable that the resistance of Mr. Browne, occasioned
the magistrates to be so determined on his dismission from the Eldership.
Although the Governor says they freely confessed their error, the entire correctness
of this statement may well be doubted. This doubt arises from the known character
and sentiments of Mr. Phillips, Mr. Browne, and others of Watertown ; from the " much
debate," in which they defended their views of taxation without representation, and
from the important results that soon succeeded. Such a confession and submission,
in such a case, would be unlike Richard Browne, John Oldham, and John Masters.
§ 48. This transaction shows that the people were called together by the church
officers; that the minister, elder, and "divers of Watertown," were summoned to
answer to the magistrates for their attempted resistance ; and that there is no
reference to any civil or municipal organization, or authority, as would undoubtedly
have been done not long afterwards.
§ 49. But this transaction deserves a conspicuous notice for a move important
reason than merely for elucidating the municipal economy of a town ; for there is
nothing of which Watertown has so good a right to be proud. At the conclusion of
an elaborate note [Winthrop, I. pp. 70,71], Mr. Savage says, " to the agitation
of this subject [by Watertown people], we may refer the origin of that committee of
two from each town to advise with the Court about raising public moneys, ' so that
what they shall agree upon shall bind all,' and this led to the representative body,
having the full power of all the freemen, except that of elections." It was on the
9th of May, less than three months after the debate with the Watertown people, at
the very next meeting of the General Court, that these Committees were appointed
for the several towns; and it is also to be noticed, in the record of these commit
tees, that the names of Mr. John Oldham and John Masters, of Watertown, are the
first on the list. These circumstances should be remembered, when reading Win
throp's Journal, in the place referred to.
§ 50. The first paragraph in the town records has become very obscure by age
and much handling, and some of the words are obliterated. But the volume has
recently been copied by a competent person, and it is very probable that he has suc
ceeded in restoring that paragraph to its original reading. As these records con
tain so much information, in so condensed a form, respecting the men and the trans
actions of those early times, and present it more satisfactorily than we could do by
any digest or analysis, those ancient records — all that are of an earlier date than
November, 1647, except the lists of possessions — are here inserted verbatim et
literatim. They appear to be not a full journal of transactions, and are little more
than a record of ordinances enacted.

§ 52. From this last date, November 28, 1643, to November 9, 1647, a period of
four years, the records of the transactions of the town are lost, so that, with the ex
ception of the lists of grants and possessions of land, and the record of births and
deaths, the preceding are all that are extant earlier than November, 1647, when the
records assume more the form of a journal of the transactions of town meetings,
sometimes embracing those of the selectmen.
§ 53. On the 9th of September, 1639, the Court " ordered and decreed that hence
forward * * * * there be records kept * * * * of the date of every marriage,
birth, and death, of every person within this jurisdiction." It appears by the colo
nial records, that this order was very imperfectly complied with, and on June 14th,
1642, they made it the duty of an officer of their own appointment (the clerk of
writs) to perform the service, with fees therefor, and fines for neglect to perform it.
The following is that order.
§ 54. " It is therefore ordered, that hereafter the clerk of writs in the several
towns, shall take especially care to record all births and deaths [marriages were
recorded by the magistrates] of persons in their towns ; and for every birth or death
they so record, they are to have allowed them the sum of 3d. and are to deliver in
yearly to the recorder of the Court, belonging to the jurisdiction where they live,
a transcript thereof together with so many pence as there are births and deaths
recorded, and this under the penalty of 20s. for every neglect; and for the time
past it is ordered, they shall do their utmost endeavor to find out in their several
towns, who hath been born and who hath died, since the first founding of their
towns, and to record the same as aforesaid."
§ 55. In order to insure a full compliance with this order, which "hath been in
many places much neglected," the Court passed an order Mar. 7, 1643^4, "that
all parents, masters, or servants, executors and administrators, respectively, shall
stand charged to bring in to the clerk of writs the name of such, belonging to them
or any of them, as shall either be born or die ; and that the new married man shall
stand likewise bound to bring in a certificate of his marriage, under the hand of the
magistrate, which married him, to the clerk of the writs," and penalties were im
posed for the neglect of these duties. In May, 1657, another order was passed, more
particular in its requirements and more stringent in its penalties, in order to insure
the accomplishment of the purposes of the foregoing order.
§ 56. Mr. Simon Eire was the first clerk of writs, appointed for Watertown,
December 10, 1641, and he retained the office until October 1, 1645. The account
of births and deaths in Watertown (with the exception of a few between 1648 and
1651), entered in the Boston records, and printed in the 7th and 8th volumes of
the Genealogical Register, are the result of Mr. Eire's compliance with that order.
It is probable that the first volume of the records of births, deaths, and marriages,
was not opened, or begun to be kept, until 1648, by John Sherman. The following
is on its title page.
§ 57. " The records of the births, deaths, and marriages, in Watertown ; kept
according to the order of the Court, made in the year 1648 [1642, as no such order
was passed in 1648]. What was taken before [before John Sherman was ap
pointed clerk of writs], was by Mr. Eire, and uncertain in the transmitting ; yet
in this book transcribed according to the order of the Court — so many as come to
hand. 1648."
"The year by Mr. Eire supposed begun the first of March; but from 1648, the
twenty-fifth of March, by John Sherman, 26 (10), 1648. The year is set upon the

HISTORY OF WATERTOWN. 1001
head of every page, and the month and day to every entry. J.[ohn] S.[herman].
The account of the year is from the twenty-five March, in all the entries that were
brought to me, John Sherman."
For the early lists of grants and possessions, see following sections.
§ 58. Marriage was regarded as a civil contract, and for a long time could be per
formed only by magistrates, or by other persons especially authorized therefor. As
there was no magistrate, resident of Watertown, for a long time after the departure
of Sir Richard Saltonstall, Watertown people, in order to be married, were obliged
to go to magistrates in other towns until November, 1646, when Mr. Richard Browne
was empowered to officiate on such occasions. Upon his removal to Charlestown,
Capt. Hugh Mason, was, in May, 1658, appointed to the same office, and "hereby
is empowered to solemnize marriages at Watertown, for preventing travel and other
inconveniences." He probably retained this office until his decease, in October, 1678.
Whether any held the same office between the decease of Capt. Mason and the elec
tion of William Bond to the magistracy, has not been ascertained. The earliest record
of a marriage in Watertown by a clergyman, was August 10, 1686, by Mr. Bailey.
§ 59. For the above reasons, few marriages are recorded in Watertown, until
after Mr. Browne was authorized to officiate. The earliest marriage on the record
is that of John Bigelow and Mary Warren, in 1642, " before Mr. Nowell," and this
is the only instance, where the name of the officer is recorded, until August, 1686,
when a marriage was solemnized by Rev. John Bailey ; and in December, 1686, a
marriage was performed by William Bond, Esq., about eight years after the decease
of Capt. Mason.

THE EARLY SETTLERS, THEIR RESIDENCES, AND THEIR MIGRATIONS.
§ 60. It is very difficult, if not entirely impossible at present, to make out a full
and correct list of those persons who accompanied Sir Richard Saltonstall, at the first
planting of Watertown, and of those who went there before 1636. It is most probable,
as before stated, that their number was greater than that of the settlers of any other
town planted in 1630 ; and there is reason to suppose, that with the exception of
Boston, Watertown continued to be more populous than either of them, for twenty
years. [See table and notes, p. 983.] The population became so crowded, that
the people began very early to disperse,' either to form new plantations, or to go to
other towns already settled ; and Watertown has been a prolific old hive, sending
out swarms almost innumerable. In August, 1635, after the migration to Wethers
field, it was " agreed by the consent of the freemen (in consideration there be too
many inhabitants in the town, and the town thereby in danger to be ruinated), that
no forrainer coming into the town, or any family arising among ourselves, shall
have any benefit of commonage or land undivided, but what they shall purchase,
except that they buy a man's right wholly in the town." [Town Records.]
§ 61. Some very considerable migrations from the town took plaoe prior to the
date of the earliest list of proprietors extant ; and as some of these emigrants, if
they had become proprietors, probably sold their possessions before they left, their
names are not found in the reoords, and are not certainly known. It is indeed
known that there were some very early residents, whose names are not found in the
lists of possessions. A considerable number of them are known, because, either
they remained proprietors after they migrated, or there is a reoord of their dismissal,
or their names were mentioned in describing the possessions of those to whom they
sold, or they had held some office, or had given names to localities. It is probable
also, that some died within the first few years, whose deaths are not recorded, as the
records of births and deaths, for that period, are very scanty, and those that are
extant were not recorded at the time of the events.

1002 APPENDIX I.
§ 62. The first considerable migration was the colony that planted Wethersfield,
the oldest town in Connecticut. Some went and took possession of Pyquag, in 1634.
The next year a larger number, including some names afterwards somewhat distin
guished, went there and named the plantation Watertown. Not long afterwards
the Court changed the name to Wethersfield. Some of this colony afterwards
were among the first settlers of Stamford, Milford, and Branford [see their names in
the following catalogue, § 77].
§ 63. The next considerable migration from Watertown went to Dedham. Mr.
Haven [centennial address], says, " the founders of Dedham came from Watertown."
September 3, 1635, the Court " ordered a plantation to be settled about two miles
above the falls of Charles River, on the N. E. side thereof, to have ground on both
sides of the river," &c. ; and on March 3, 1635-6, a committee (Ensign Jennison,
Mr. Danforth, and Mr. William Phelps), was deputed to set out the bounds thereof,
and they reported on the 13th of the next month. On the 8th of the following
September (1636), the Court named this plantation Dedham, and exempted it from
public charges for three years from the first of May next. A considerable number
of the names of the settlers, who went from Watertown to Dedham, are known.
Others probably went there from Watertown, whose names are not found in the
records, for the reason above stated. A few of the petitioners and grantees of Ded
ham, did not move there ; among whom were John Coolidge, Thomas Hastings, and
Robert Feake. Among those who are known to have gone there, were John Hay
ward, Lambert Chinery, Daniel Morse, Ensign Thomas Cakebread (afterwards of
Sudbury), John Dwight, Henry Phillips (son-in-law of Mr. Dwight, and candidate
as teacher), John Batchelor, Ralph Wheelock (candidate as teacher), John Eaton,
Dr. Henry Dengayne (afterwards of Rox.), William Barstow, and George Barstow
(supposed to have gone from Watertown, wbere their eldest brother, Michael settled),
and John Kingsbury.
§ 64. The order for planting Concord is of the same date as that of Dedham, and
Capt. Thomas Brooks, the ancestor of one of the most distinguished families of
Concord, went from Watertown. Timothy Wheeler, an early proprietor of Water-
town, was probably one of the early settlers of Concord. Although this town can
not, with propriety, be said to be planted by Watertown people, the preceding
genealogies show that numerous Concord families may trace their early lineage to
Watertown. § 65. The next plantation, made by Watertown people, was Sudbury. At the
General Court, November 20, 1637, the following preamble and order were adopted.
" Whereas a great part of the chief inhabitants of Watertown have petitioned this
Court, that in regard of their straitness of accommodation, and want of meadow,
they might have leave to remove and settle a plantation upon the river, which runs
to Concord, this Court, having respect to their necessity, doth grant their petition,
and it is hereby ordered, that Lieut. [Simon] Willard, Mr. [William] Spencer,
Mr. Joseph Weld, and Mr. [Richard] Jackson, shall take view of the places upon
said river, and shall set out a place for them by marks and bounds sufficient for
fifty or sixty families, taking care that it be so set out as it may not hinder the
settling of some other plantation upon the same river, if there be meadow, and other
accommodations sufficient for the same. And it is ordered, further, that if the said
inhabitants of Watertown, or any of them, shall not have removed their dwellings
to their said new plantation before one year after the plantation shall be set out,
that then the interest of all such persons, not so removed to the said plantation, shall
be void and cease, and it shall be lawful for such as are removed and settled there,
or the greater part of them, being freemen, to receive other persons to inhabit in
their rooms, in the said plantation ; provided, that if there shall not be thirty
families at least there settled before the said time limited, that then this Court, or
the Court of Assistants, or two of the Council, shall dispose of the said plantation
to any other. And it is further ordered, that after the place of the said plantation

HISTORY OF WATERTOWN. 1003
shall be set out, the said petitioners, and such other freemen as shall join them,
shall have power to order the situation of their town', and the proportioning of lots,
and all other liberties as other towns have under the proviso aforesaid.
" And it is lastly further ordered, that such of the said inhabitants of Watertown,
as shall be accommodated in their new plantation, may sell their houses and im
proved grounds in Watertown ; but all the rest of the land in Watertown not
improved, shall remain freely to the inhabitants, which shall remain behind, and
such others as shall come to them.
" And the said persons appointed to set out the said plantation are directed so to
set out the same, as there may be 1500 acres of meadow allowed to it, if it be there
to be had with any conveniences, for the use of the town." March 12, 1637-8.
" The Court thinketh meet that they [of Watertown], should have liberty to sell
their allotments in Watertown, and they are to give their full answer the next
Court, whether they will remove to the new plantation, and John Oliver put in the
room of Richard Jackson, or to lay out the said plantation, which they are to do
before the next Court."
§ 66. An order was passed September 6, 1638, allowing the petitioners, Mr.
Pendleton, Mr. Noyes, Mr. Brown and company, to go on in their plantation; but
an allotment of lands does not appear to have been made, until September, 1639,
when the Court gave the plantation the name of Sudbury. May 13, 1640, an addi
tion was made to their territory of one mile on the southeast and southwest sides,
with conditions, and it was exempted from rates for one year from May 20, 1640.
In 1649, the boundary line of Sudbury was laid out two miles further westward,
for their enlargement.
§ 67. Although Sudbury was a plantation specially granted to the inhabitants of
Watertown, only a small proportion of the names of the very early grantees of the
lots, are found in the Watertown records, and some of those returned to Watertown,
[See the following catalogue ; and see Barry, pp. 154, 5, & 6.] The probable
reason that so few went to Sudbury, was, that so many had migrated to Wethers
field, Dedham, and other places, as to relieve Watertown of its crowd of settlers.
It will, however, be found that a large part of Sudbury families were afterwards of
Watertown origin. The following Watertown names are found in the earliest lists
of Sudbury grantees, viz. : Robert Betts (" Beast"), Thomas Cakebread, Henry
Curtis, Robert Daniel (" Darvell"), John Grout, Solomon Johnson, John Knight,
George Munnings, Peter Noyes, William Parker, Bryan Pendleton, Richard Sanger,
Joseph Tainter, Anthony White, Goodman [John] Wetherill. The two sons-in-law of
Elder Edward How, viz. : Nathaniel Treadway and John Stone (eldest son of Dea.
Gregory Stone, of Camb.), were also original grantees of Sudbury.
§ 68. The pioneers in the settlement of Nashaway (Lancaster), were Watertown
men, among whom were Thomas King, the sturdy John Prescott, Richard Linton,
Lawrence Waters, Rev. Nathaniel Norcross, John Smith, Ralph and John
Houghton. Numerous Lancaster families, of a later date, can trace their lineage to
Watertown. § 69. Martha's Vineyard was first planted by a colony from Watertown. [See
Mayhew, pp. 364 and 857.]
§ 70. It is known that, at an early period, removals to and fro, between Water-
town and Cambridge, were not unfrcquent, and some may have occurred too early
to be noticed in the records. In 1632, Capt. Daniel Patrick moved to Cambridge,
and not long afterwards returned to Watertown. Mr. John Masters, moved after
1632 from Watertown to Cambridge. It is highly probable, that Edmund Lockwood
went to Watertown with Sir Richard Saltonstall, and that the next year, either he
moved to Cambridge, or was found to have settled within the limits assigned to
Cambridge. Dea. Gregory Stone moved to Cambridge about 1637. David Fisk,
Jr. of Watertown, married in Cambridge, and settled there. These are a few of
the instances of this kind that might be given.

1004 APPENDIX I.
§ 71. Several emigrants from Watertown were among the original proprietors of
Groton, and the numerous families of the name Lawrence, Tarbell, Page, Sawtel,
Holden, Stone, Knapp, Clary, Barron, Peirce, Boyden, Whitney, Crisp, Ong, some
of the Morses [names found among the original proprietors] ; also later settlers of
the name of Cady, Headly, Prescott, Sanderson, Shattuck, some of the Fiskes, and
many others in the female line, may trace their lineage to early settlers of Water-
town. Emigrants from Watertown may also be found among the early settlers, of
nearly all the towns in Middlesex County ; and, in a considerable number of them,
their descendants are probably as numerous as in Groton.
§ 72. Descendants from the early settlers of Watertown, are not less numerous
in Worcester County. As evidence of this, see the histories of Framingham,
Shrewsbury, Worcester, Rutland, and Spencer. The histories of other towns, if
equally well written, would evince the same thing, with at least equal fulness. And
it is probable that there is not a town in the western counties of Massachusetts,
where there are not, or have not been, families of Watertown origin.
§ 73. Emigrants from this old hive were among the early settlers of many other
towns in Connecticut, besides the very ancient ones of Wethersfield, Stamford,
Branford, New Haven, and Milford, especially in the northern and eastern portions
of the State, where their descendants are very numerous. They were also among
the very early settlers of some of the oldest towns on Long Island ; a few also went
to Rhode Island. The families are also very numerous in Maine, New Hampshire,
and Vermont, who are of Watertown origin. It would be an endless, but not a
fruitless undertaking, to attempt to trace out fully the Watertown genealogies ; and
it may be seen in the preceding pages, in the attempt to trace the genealogy of only
a few branches to the present time, that they are to be found in every State in the
Union. § 74. The following is an Aphabetieal Catalogue of the names of persons, known
to have been proprietors or residents of Watertown, prior to the end of the year
1643 ; compiled chiefly from the lists of grantees and proprietors, embracing also
some names derived from wills, deeds, settlement of estates, and descriptions of
possessions. § 75. The earliest of these lists of inhabitants, is that of the grantees in the
Great Dividends, which were granted in July, 1636, and it contains 120 names.
[See Sect. 86-7.] The next list is that of the grantees of the Beaver Brook plow-
ands, "being 106 in number," and dated February 28, 1636-7, but ordered the
preceding September. In June, 1637, the Remote, or West pine [? plain] meadows,
were granted to " the townsmen then inhabiting, being 114 in number." [For
other information respecting these and other lists, see Sections 91, 96, 97, 100,
102, &c] Before and about the time of these grants, many changes were taking
place in the population, many migrating to Wethersfield, Dedham. &c, and others
arriving from England, to buy their lands and supply their places, as stated in the
preceding sections, and as will be seen in the following catalogue.
§ 76. Deputies, or Representatives of Watertown to the General Court, are printed
in small capitals ; other freemen (fr.) in italics. Several of those who migrated
from Watertown, became afterwards magistrates, deputies, or freemen of other towns
or colonies. But they have not such designations in this catalogue.
An asterisk (*) denotes clerical persons; ministers and ruling-elders, but not
deacons. A cross ("(•) before a number denotes the date of embarkation in England, with
the name, in some instances, of the place of embarkation.
A double cross (J) denotes a selectman.
In some instances the localities of the homestalls are given. In others only the
boundaries are given, as the localities are not yet satisfactorily ascertained. The
term homestall (instead of homestead), is retained as it is the one always made use
of in the early records.

HISTORY OF WATERTOWN. 1005
I 77. Daniel Abbot, applied to be admitted freeman in Oct. 1630, before New Town (Cam
bridge) was settled, and he was adm. the next May. In Ap. 1631, the Court ordered a
military watch of 4 to be kept every night at Dorchester and Watertown. About five
weeks afterwards (May 18th), Daniel Abbot was "fined 5s. for refusing to watch, and
for other ill behavior showed towards Capt. Patrick." As Capt. Patrick belonged to
Watertown, and as no watch was ordered to be kept at New Town, there can be little
doubt, but that Daniel Abbot was one of the first settlers of Watertown. He may have
settled within the limits afterwards assigned to New Town [see Lockwood, p. 854]. His
fine was remitted Sept. 8, 1638 ; and the Colonial Records (June 4, 1639), say "Daniel
Abbot is departed to New Providence."
Robert Abbot, fr. 1634; was grantee of a homestall and meadow on the East side of Mount
Auburn, and of a lot in the Great Dividends in July, 1636 ; all of which were bought by
Roger Wellington. He went early to Connecticut [see Reg. Abbott Fam., p. 173].
Richard Ambler, of Wat. 1639, not a grantee, went to Stamford, Conn. His homestall was
the lot in the town plot granted to Richard Beers, S. side of Belmont St. near Warren St.
Thomas Andrews, not a grantee, but proprietor of 4 lots; homestall S. of Camb. road,
near Camb. line.
Edmund Angier, fr. 1640, proprietor of 3 A. East of Mount Auburn, in 1644, but probably
never a resident of Wat.
Thomas Arnold, j- 1635 ; fr. 1640 ; grantee of 8 lots and purchaser of 1 lot ; moved to Provi
dence about 1655; 2 homestalls, Orchjird St., near Lex. Street.
X John Bachelor, grantee of 6 lots, some, if not all, of which were purchased by J. Norcross.
He probably moved to Dedham in 1637; fr. 1640.
Nathaniel Baker, a grantee in the Beaver Brook Plowland, 1636-7 ; (?) went to Hingham.
Jo\n Baker, fr. 1634; a grantee in the Town plot in 1638.
William Baker, fr. 1634 ; a grantee in the Great Dividends in July, 1636. [There is reason
to suppose that there is a misnomer, and that these grants were made to only two, perhaps
only one person of the name of Baker.]
John Ball. (?) On the list of Winthrop [II. p. 340], supposed to be the names of those intend
ing to come over in 1630, is the name of "Mr. Ball." If this was the John Ball, of
Concord, he may have arrived before Concord was granted-; settled first in Wat., and
moved to Concord, in 1635, prior to the date of the earliest list of proprietors of Water-
town.
-¦ J Ellis Barron, fr. 1641 ; not a grantee ; bought the homestall, 10 A. of A. Kemball, on the E.
side of Common St., adjoining on the East the lot granted to Thurston Raynor ; d. 1676.
William Barsham, f 1630; fr. 1637; grantee of 5 lots, and purchaser of 1 lot; d. 1684. His
homestall was W. of Mount Auburn, between Cambridge Road and Bank Lane.
X Michael Bairstow, of Charlestown, 1635 ; probably moved to Wat., 1637, or 1638 ; fr. 1636 ;
not a grantee, but proprietor of 8 lots; d. 1674. His homestall of 14 A., probably
S. W. corner of Belmont and School Streets.
X Thomas Bartlett, (?) f 1630 ; fr. 1636, d. 1654 ; grantee of 7 lots. His homestall of 14 A.
N. E. corner of Common and North Streets.
Richard Beach, of Camb. 1635, of Wat. 1639, not a grantee; d. 1674 ; one lot 6 A. in the
town plot, N. side of Warren St., near Lexington St.
X Richard Beers, fr. 1637 ; d. 1675 ; grantee of 7 lots, and purchaser of 3 lots. His home-
stall of 10 A. granted, was bounded N. E. by Fresh Pond, W. by Grove St.
X Joseph Bemis, of Wat. 1640 ; d. 1684 ; grantee of a farm and of a meadow at Nonesuch ; pur
chaser of 7 other lots. His homestall of 12 A., S. side of Warren Street, was made up
of the two lots in the town plot, granted to Simon Stone and J. Firmin.
John Benjamin, f 1632; fr. 1632 ; first of Camb., afterwards Wat., where he d. 1645. The
circumstance that his name is not in any list of grantees, renders it probable that
he did not move to Wat. before 1637 or 8. His homestall of 60 A. was situated E. of
Dorchester Field, and bounded S. by Charles River. He had 3 other large lots, grants
to R. Feake.
Richard Benjamin, f 1632, of Southhold, L. I., in 1667; not a grantee, but proprietor of
2 lots.
X John Bernard (Barnard), f 1634; fr. 1635; d. 1646; grantee of 12 lots, and purchaser of
2 lots. His homestall of 13 A. was on the N. side of Mount Auburn St., a little W.
of School St.
Robert Betts, (" Best," " Beast,") a grantee in the Great Dividends and in the Beaver Brook
plowlands; an original grantee of Sud., where he d. 1655, s. p., bequeathing his estate
to his brother-in-law William Hunt and other relatives of this name.
'X John Bigelow, of Wat., 1642, fr. 1690, d. 1703; not a grantee, purchased two lots, one of
which was the Great Dividend lot granted to Henry Dengayne, and the other, his home-
stall of 6 A., was the lot in the town plot granted to Henry Bright, Jr , on Warren St.
X John Biscoe, fr. 1650, d. 1690; grantee of 27 A. in lieu of township; proprietor of at

1006 APPENDIX I.
least 14 other lots, amounting to 509 A. From the number and value of his possessions,
in 1642-44, he then being only 21 to 23 years of age, it seems probable that the lands
were held in his name for his father, Nathaniel, the "rich tanner." His homestall was
at the N. W. corner of Belmont and Common Streets, bounded N. by the homestall and
meadow granted to John Lawrence. [See p. 819.]
J Nathaniel Biscoe, not a grantee ; purchased of the town a lot of 46 A., bounded E. by
Lexington St., and South by the homestalls of T. Philbrick, John Stowers, Anthony
Peirce. This lot passed to his son John, then to Elisha Cook, of Boston, and from him
to Andrew White and Nathaniel Stearns. It was for a long time the residence of the heirs
of A. White. [See White, 5, p. 639.]
Edmund Blois, fr. 1639, d. 1681. His wife and son embarked for N. Eng., in 1634. He was
a grantee of 5 lots. His 6 A. lot in Town Plot, N. E. cor. of Main and Warren Streets.
J [William Bond, the first of the name in Watertown, but too young to be a proprietor in
1642-4. It is supposed that he came over in 1630, then aged 5 yrs., as the nephew,
adopted child, and heir of Dea. Ephraim Child.]
Nathaniel Bowman, f 1630, applied to be admitted freeman Oct. 1630 ; not admitted ; d. 1682.
Grantee of 8 lots ; homestall W. side of Common St., (sometimes called Bowman's Lane),
a little S. of Belmont St. He purchased of E. Goffe a large lot in Camb. (Lex.), adjoin
ing or near the Watertown line, and moved there.
Thomas Boyden, f at Ipswich, 1634; fr. 1647; was an early settler of Groton, resided some
time in Medfield, again in Groton, and aftetwards again in Watertown. [See Phillips,
p. 872.] His homestall a little W. of Common St,, adjoining Wm. Hammond.
Thomas Boylston, f 1635 at London, d. 1653 ; grantee of 2 lots, and proprietor of 6 lots pur
chased of Gregory Stone, 5 of which had been granted to Stone, and a homestall of 16
A., which had been granted to Thurston Raynor, and purchased by G. Stone. It was
bounded E. by School Street, N. by Common land, S. by R. Linton and R. Sanderson,
and W. by J. Cutler, and E. Barron. It passed to John Chinery, who married Boylston's
widow.
John Braybrook, came from Hampton to Wat. about 1640, d. 1654. He was not a grantee,
but purchased 7 lots. His homestall of 6 A., which had probably been granted to Wm.
Bridges, was bounded E. by Common St., W. by Wm. Hammond, N. by J. Biscoe, S. by

§ 78. Freemen. — The following is a list of the freemen of Watertown, admitted
previous to the union of the colonies of Plymouth and Massachusetts Bay, with the
date of their admission. In order for such admission, it was necessary to be a
church-member, and for this reason there were some,men holding respectable social
positions, who never were thus admitted, or not until advanced age. It was not
necessary, however, to be a church-member, or a freeman, in order to hold office in
the town or appointments from the Court. This could be done by taking the oath
of fidelity, and, in some instances, townsmen, who were not freemen, were allowed to
vote. Thomas Mayhew held a responsible appointment from the Governor and
Assistants, more than two years before he was admitted freeman. Joseph Bemis
and Thomas Flagg, were never admitted, although they were both selectmen, and
held other offices. John Bigelow, Sen., took the oath of fidelity in 1652, but he

HISTORY OF WATERTOWN.

1017

was not admitted freeman until April, 1690, at the age of 73. Roger Wellington
was not admitted until 80 or 81 years of age, when he had been many times
selectman. William Bond was admitted in 1682, more than 20 years after he had
been selectman, juror, constable, and likewise town clerk, and only a short time
before he was elected a magistrate. " Mr." William Goddard, was admitted in
1690, more than 20 years after he was a selectman. John Nevinson, being a
churchman, was never admitted.
§ 79. A star (*) prefixed to a name denotes those who applied in Oct., 1630, to be
admitted. Among those who applied at that time, was Nathaniel Bowman, of
Watertown, whose name does not appear in the list of freemen. It will be seen
that some of the very early settlers and proprietors, or natives of Watertown, were
admitted freemen after they had moved to other towns. This mark (?) is prefixed
to the names of freemen, who were early proprietors, where there is an uncertainty
or improbability as to their having ever been residents.

ALLOTMENTS OF LAND, POSSESSIONS, &c.
§ 80. In early deeds, inventories, &c, there is a very frequent reference to
several kinds or classes of lots, named generally in reference to some grant or
allotment of lands ; and such information concerning them as we have obtained, is
here presented. It is derived chiefly from several schedules of grants and sum
maries of possessions contained in the early records. Of the earliest grants, called
the Small Lots, there is no schedule, and the information respecting them is derived
from the summaries of grants and possessions. The same may be said in regard to
the marsh lands.
§ 81. 1. Homestalls and home-lots. These were collectively called the Small
Lots, and they comprised, or rather were scattered over, nearly the whole of the
present territory of Watertown. There were within these limits a few tracts of
land, of uncertain or unascertained extent and dimensions, called Commons, devoted
to the common use or benefit. There was the meeting-house lot of 40 acres, some?
times called the Meeting-house Common. Neither its situation, boundaries, nor
dimensions are mentioned in the records ; but it is pretty clearly inferred, from a
collation of the references in the descriptions of grants and possessions, that it was
situated between School St. on the West; Belmont St. on the North, and Mount
Auburn St. on the S. East. " Fifteen acres of upland upon the Meeting-house
Common were granted to" Rev. George Phillips. Rev. John Sherman, was allowed
to take the wood from a part of it. A part of it was ordered to be sold in 1667 to
defray the expense of rebuilding the Mill Bridge. Pequusset Common is the one
most frequently mentioned in the records, and it is the one afterwards sometimes
called King's Common. It was bounded N. by Cambridge Line ; W. by the Great
Dividends ; S. and E. by the Small Lots. Pequusset Common was distinct from
Pequusset Meadow. The latter was a narrow strip of land, a little distance east of
Lexington Street, and running south from that Common towards Belmont Street.
This meadow was granted in Small lots to several proprietors, before the order was
passed (May 21, 1638), for appropriating Pequusset Common to the general use.
[See p. 996.] The common on the west side of the Great Pond was probably in
Waltham. Other lots were granted to aid objects of general interest, viz., the wear
and the mill. A small lot on the river was reserved for a public landing.

1020 APPENDIX I.
§ 82. There were small tracts of marsh on the border of Charles River, of which
there is no schedule of the grantees or proprietors, but they are mentioned in the
summaries of grants and possessions. They bore a very high price in proportion to
that of any other land, as may be seen in inventories ; but they are not men
tioned in the valuations of land for the purpose of assessments. Most of them were
probably disposed of at, or very soon after, the first planting of the town. There
were, however, instances of grants of marsh land as late as 1635, as in the case of
Mr. William Paine, who embarked for New England in that year. The town
retained for a long time, in various parts of it, several parcels of land, usually called
"common land," when mentioned as a boundary, yet probably not devoted to general
use, like the commons, already mentioned. Some of them were retained until after
the incorporation of Waltham.
§ 83. It does not, I think, appear, either in the colonial or town records, by what
tenure or on what terms the freemen of the town held the lands, or were authorized
to grant them to the townsmen. With the few following exceptions of grants made
by the Court, they appear to have been all granted and allotted by the freemen of
the town ; and they made no grants, beside the Small Lots, until after the civil
affairs of the town began to be "ordered" by a board of selectmen, in 1634. In
Nov., 1632, the Court granted to Mr. George Phillips 30 acres of land " up Charles
River, on the south side, beginning at a creek a little higher than the pines, and so
upwards towards the wear." This is probably the 30 A. lot of meadow, which in
the list of Mr. Phillips's grants, is described as bounded " the West with the river,
the S. E. [S. and E.] by Cambridge Line." We should suppose, from the descrip
tion of the grant in the colonial records, that the lot was nearly opposite the U. S.
Arsenal, and that it was within the limits soon afterwards assigned to Cambridge.
It is not easy to reconcile the two descriptions. [See sections 30 and 31.] On the
lst of April, 1634, the Court granted Mr. John Oldham 500 acres of land,
" lying near Mount Feake, on the Northwest of Charles River." [See pp. 382 and
861.] This grant was made before the western boundary of Watertown was deter
mined by the Court, and before any grants had been made by the freemen of the
town, besides the small lots. On March 3d, 1635-6, at the same time, and in the
same order that determined the western boundary of the town, the Court " agreed
that Sir Richard Saltonstall shall have one hundred acres of meadow, to be set out
indifferently by John Pratt and William Rescue." This, also, was a few months
before any grants, had been made besides the small lots. In the schedule of pos
sessions made a few years afterwards, this lot is described as "remote meadow,
bounded with the farm land." It was contiguous to the farm of 200 acres, and to
the 100 A. lot in the Great Dividends, both not long afterwards granted to him by
the freemen of the town. The foregoing three grants appear to be the only ones
made by the Court within the limits of the town, and none was thus made after the
western boundary was determined.
§ 84. There was an early map or plan of Watertown in the possession of the late
Abner Sanderson, Esq., of Waltham. It was lent to a gentleman engaged in his
torical investigations, and unfortunately destroyed by a conflagration in Boston, in
1825, and no copy of it left. It was probably made by Abraham Browne, as it was
done in 1640, while he was the town surveyor. This loss leaves it very difficult to de
termine the exact positions, where some of the first planters settled. In order to do
this, it would be necessary to construct a plan of the town from the schedules of
possessions. These give the number of acres in each lot with its surroundings ;
but their dimensions are not given, and it is evident that they were very irregular.
According to the descriptions, the roads and the boundaries of lots nearly all ran
parallel with the lines of latitude and longitude, yet, these seem to be the only
directions in which they did not run. Some highway, road, or lane, is generally
given as a boundary, but it is seldom named, and when named, not always clearly
identified at this time ; for, since that time, other roads have been laid out, and

HISTORY OF WATERTOWN.

1021

some of the old ones vacated or changed. In laying out the lots and roads, the sur
veyor seems to have made no use of chain or compass.
§ 85. It is probable that, of the homestalls and homelots, allotted to the first
planters, few or none exceeded 16 A. They varied from this to one acre, and their
average was probably about 5 or 6 Acres. In the schedules of possessions there are
several much larger homestalls, a few of which were grants ; but it is very doubtful
whether any of theto were made at first. William Jennison had a homestall of 50
A. granted him ; but, as in the case of Abraham Browne,~\John Warren, Isaac
Sterne, Ephraim Child, W. Hammond, and others, he had at first a smaller lot
granted him nearer to the river, and the large lot was probably a subsequent grant. It
is certain that most of the homestalls exceeding 16 A. were not grants to the pos
sessors, and that very few of the holders of large homestalls were first planters.
The records show that, in some instances, they were acquired by purchase, and made
up of several small lots, obtained of grantees, who migrated early to other planta
tions ; as in the case of Jeremiah Norcross, whose homestall of 26 A. was composed
of 4 lots, purchased of different persons. John Benjamin, who moved from New
Town to Watertown about 1637, had a homestall of 60 A., probably obtained and
made up in the same manner, as no part of it was granted to him. In some in
stances they were obtained partly by grant and partly by purchase, as in the case of
Simon Stone, who had a homestall of 50 A., of which only 12 A. were granted, and
the rest purchased of several different persons. The diminutive size and great num
ber of the small lots led to frequent early changes in proprietorship, and this cir
cumstance enhances very much the difficulty, already referred to, of determining the
spots, where the primitive settlers first planted.*
§ 86. 2d. The Great Dividends. After the small lots, the earliest general grant
of lands by the freemen was that of the Great Dividends, dated " July 25, 1636."
"Agrant of the Great Dividends [allotted] to the freemen [and] to all the Towns
men then inhabiting, being 120 in number. The land being divided into four divi
sions, every division being 160 rods in breadth, — beginning next to the small lots,
and bounded with Cambridge Line on the North side, and with the Plowlands on
the South. To be laid out successively one after another (all the meadows and cart
ways excepted), for them to enclose or feed in common." These four divisions were
sometimes called the Squadrons, and the lines dividing them, the Squadron lines.
These divisions are said " to begin next to the small lots," but it is difficult to deter
mine this line exactly. Pequusset Meadow is described as bounded on the North by
Cambridge Line, and on the West by the Great Dividends. It is conjectured that
the Dividends began not far from the present boundary between Watertown and
Waltham, and that for some distance these were bounded by the road (now Warren
St.), which was the western boundary of the Town Plot.
The following are the names of the grantees, with the number of the lot and the
number of acres. The dividends were numbered from the south 1, 2, 3, 4 ; the 4th
being bounded N. by Cambridge Line. Many of the lots changed owners before 1644,
and the name of the purchaser follows that of the grantee, in these tables.

§ 91. Sd Beaver Brook Plowlands. The next general grant of land was that of
the Beaver Brook Plowland, partly meadow, and partly upland, the record of which
is as follows : " 1636 [36-7], Feb. 28. A grant of plowlands at Beaver Brook
Plains, divided and lotted out by the freemen to all the Townsmen then inhabiting,
being 106 in number, allowing one acre for a person, and likewise for cattle valued
at _£20 the head ; beginning next the Small Lots beyond the wear, and bounded
with the Great [Dividend] Lots on the north side, and Charles Kiver on the south,
divided by a cartway in the midst ; the first lot to begin next the river, the second
on the north side of the cartway, and to be laid out successively until the lots are
ended." It is probable that the grant was made in Sept., 1636, when a committee
was appointed to " devise to every man his propriety of Meadow and Upland that is
plowable, and the rest to lie common ;" and that the date of the record (Feb. 28,
1636-7), was the time when the allotments and schedules were completed. The
lands then granted amounted to 741 acres, of which about 285 A. were at the east
of Beaver Brook, and were designated, "lots in the Hither Plain," sometimes
called the Little Plain. The rest of the lots were situated west of Beaver Brook,
and were called the " lots in the Further Plain," sometimes called the Great Plain.
§ 92. The lots in the Hither Plain began at the Driftway (now called Gore St.),
and a line continued southwardly, from the S. end of the Driftway, to the river.
These lots were arranged or plotted in two series or ranges. One of them was
bounded on the south by the river, and on the north by the cartway betwixt lots
[Pleasant St.] ; and the lots in it were designated by the odd numbers, 1, 3, 5, &c,
to 43 or 45, and each lot extended from the cartway to the river. The other series,
beginning at the Driftway, were bounded on the south by the cartway betwixt lots,
and on the north by the highway, afterwards long known as the Sudbury Koad,
now called Main Street. Each lot extended from one of these streets to the other,
and they were designated by the even numbers, 2, 4, 6, &c., to 36. These two
ranges did not extend so as to be contiguous to Beaver Brook. A small strip of
land on its eastern border was retained as town or common land.
§ 93. Although the 40 A. lot of Mr. Phillips is placed at the head of the schedule
of these grants, it is evident it was within the limits of the Small Lots, and did
not properly belong to the Beaver Brook plowland grants, from which it was sepa
rated by the Driftway. It belonged to " the small lots beyond the wear," and the
grant was probably made to him, at the same time that others, in the immediate
neighborhood and contiguous to it, were granted to Sir Bichard Saltonstall, Edward
How, and Abraham Browne. This improper insertion of the name of Mr. Phillips,
will account in part for the discrepancy between the number of grants said to have
been made [106] and the number of names on the list [108]. The same thing
occurred in regard to the list and allotments of the Town Plot. The name of Mr.
Phillips is the first on the list, although his lot was not in the Town Plot, and it was
probably granted to him some time before the allotments of that plot.

APPENDIX I.

§ 94. In the grant of the Beaver Brook Plowlands, they are described as " begin
ning next the smaHrlots beyond the wear." The following is the order of the lots,
with the names of the grantees, between Sudbury Road on the north and the way
betwixt lots (Pleasant St.) on the south, beginning at the way to the Little Plain
(Howard St.). lst. The homestall and adjoining homelots of Abraham Browne,
40 A. 2d. A lot of 12 A. granted to Edward How, and by his heirs sold to
Robert Harrington, from whom it passed to his son Edward, and after probably to
his grandson Edward. 3d. A 40 A. lot granted to Rev. George Phillips, and by
his heirs sold to Edward Garfield, about 1650. This was bounded on the west by
the Driftway, which was the boundary between the Small Lots and the Beaver Brook
Plowlands. In the Inventory of E. Garfield, this lot is described as " on the Little
Plain, near Sudbury Road," and it was then (1672), apprized at £60. In late times
it became the elegant residence of Governor Gore, and it now belongs to J. S.
Copley Greene, Esq. Immediately south of this lot of Mr. Phillips, and separated
from it by the cartway betwixt lots, was a 20 A. lot of plowland, granted to Sir R.
Saltonstall. It was bounded on the west by the first lot (John Whitney's) in the
Beaver Brook Plowlands, and his son Samuel afterwards sold it fo Whitney. As
this lot was bounded W. by the land of Whitney, it appears that the Driftway did
not extend to the river. Situated E. and S. E. of this lot of Sir Richard, between
the river and Pleasant Street, were lots belonging to John Knight, Edward How,
Joseph Morse, Richard Woodward, and Abraham Browne.
§ 95. The lots in the Further Plain (in later times called Waltham Plain), begin
ning at Beaver Brook, were bounded on the south by.pharles River, and on the
N. by the Great Dividends, or " common land." They were plotted in two ranges,
like those in the Hither Plain, and separated from each other by Sudbury Road,
now called Main Street. The range next the river were designated by the odd num
bers, continued from the Hither Plain, beginning No. 45, and each lot extended
from the river to Sudbury Road. The other range, on the north side of the high
way, were designated by the even numbers, continued from the Hither Plain, and
each lot extended from Sudbury Road to Great Dividend lands.
The following table shows the names of the grantees in each of the four ranges,
their order of arrangement, and the number of acres granted to each. Many of the
lots changed proprietors before 1644, and the second name to a lot is that of the
purchaser. The year, added in a few instances, shows that the sale took place at a
later date than 1644.

§ 96. 4tth. Remote or the West Pine Meadows. The next general grant of lands
was made only a few months after that of the Beaver Brook Plowlands, and the
following is the record of it. " 1637, June, 26. A grant of the Remote or West
Pine Meadow, divided and lotted out to all the Townsmen then inhabiting, being

* In the list of S. Freeman's
had relinquished it to the town.

i, this lot is included as & grant. This is probably a mistake, unless Gay

1026 APPENDIX I.
114 in number, allowing one acre for a person, and likewise for cattle, valued at 201b.
the head, beginning next the Playne Meadow, and to go on until the lots are
ended. Granted to Robert Feake, forty acres ; to Edward How, twenty-four acres."
By comparing this order with that granting the Beaver Brook Plowlands, it will be
seen that in each of them the same rule was adopted as to the quantity of land
allotted to each individual. The lots were numbered, with the number of acres in
each, with the exception of those of R. Feake, and E. How, which seem to have
been distinct from the others. These meadows were probably in the southern and
southeastern part of Weston ; but their location and dimensions have not been ascer
tained, nor has it been discovered that there was any regular order or series in the
arrangement of the lots.
§ 97. 5th. Town Plot, Township, Town Lots. July 30, 1635, it was "Agreed,
by the consent of the freemen, that two hundred acres of upland near the Mill shall
be reserved as most convenient to make a township." This was a year before any
of the general grants of land were made ; but the records do not show that there
was any order for the survey or allotment of this reservation until Ap. 9, 1638,
when it was ordered that the Selectmen "shall have power to give out the land upon
the Town Plots to several persons, according to their discretions." At a town meet
ing, two weeks later (Ap. 23), it was "Ordered, that those freemen of the congrega
tion [to whom these lots were assigned] shall build and dwell upon their lots at the
town plot, and not to alienate them by selling or exchanging them to any foreigner,
but to the freemen of the congregation ; it being our real intent to sit down there
close together, and, therefore, these lots were grauted to those freemen, that inhabited
most remote from the meeting-house, and dwell most scattered." [See p. 996.] At
the date of this order, it is probable that the meeting-house was at the east of
Mount Auburn.
§ 98. There has been much perplexity in ascertaining, or even conjecturing, where
this reservation for a town plot was located ; for there is nothing in the town records
indicating its locality, boundaries, or dimensions. We have, however, after a care
ful collation and analysis of circumstantial data, arrived at a conclusion, which is
satisfactory, if not clearly demonstrable, viz. : that it was that tract of land,
bounded E. by Lexington St., S. by Sudbury Road (Main St.), N. by Belmont
St., and W. by that continuation of Belmont St. (a part of which is now called
Warren St.), where it turns to the south until it intersects Main Street. A road ran
E. and W. through the middle of it, now called Warren Street. There was one range
of lots on the south side of Belmont St. ; one on the north, and another on the south
side of Warren St., and a fourth range on the N. side of Main St., (Sudbury Road).
As no penalty was attached to the order, requiring the grantees to build and settle on
their lots, and forbidding their alienation to any except freemen, the order appears to
have been entirely disregarded, as it is clear that very few, if any, of the grantees ever
resided on them. The greatest part of the lots very soon passed into other hands,
and in many instances to those who were never admitted freemen, or not until a
long time afterwards.
§ 99. In the volume of town records containing the other schedules of possessions,
is the following list of the grantees of the town plot. The name and lot of Rev. George
Phillips is at the head of the list, although, as in the schedule of the Beaver Brook
Plowlands [Sect. 93], this lot was not in the town plot, but on the east side of
Lexington Street. At least three lots (6 A. to John Whitney, Sen. ; 6 A. to John
Sherman; and 8 A. to T. Arnold), were granted in this plot, after the following
list was recorded. " 1638, Ap. 9. A Division of land at the Town Plot, No. 40.

— A." The reservation ordered for a township was to contain 200 A.; but the
above grants, deducting that of Mr. Phillips, amounted to 238 Acres. To this, are
to be added the lots subsequently granted to Whitney, Sherman, and Arnold.
§ 100. Qth. Lieu of Township Lots, or lots beyond the Further Plain. On the 17th
July, 1638, three months after the allotment of the Township Lots, it was by the
freemen " Ordered, that all those freemen that have no lots at the Township, shall
have 12 Acre lots beyond Beaver Plain, and all other townsmen shall have 6 Acre
lots in [ (?) beyond] the said Plain." The lots thus granted, are those often men
tioned in inventories and lists of possessions, as Lieu of Township land. They
were situated at the west of Waltham [Beaver] Plain, immediately south of the
Great Dividends, and extended westward beyond Stony Brook. The names of
at least 67 grantees are found in the records, and their lots amounted to about 800
acres. The lots were all numbered, but the records do not show that there was any
regular order or series in the arrangement of them.
§ 101. On the same day (July 17, 1638), that the Lieu of Township land was
granted, it was " Ordered, that all the land lying beyond the Plowland and the lots
granted in lieu of the township, having the Great Dividends on the one [North]
side, Charles River and Dedham bounds on the other [south] side, and the Farm
lands at the farther end [west side] of it, shall be for a common for cattle, to the
use of the freemen of the town and their heirs forever, and not to be alienated
without the consent of every freeman and their heirs forever." This was called ihe
Freemen's Common. Notwithstanding this attempt at absolute perpetuity, on the
27th Nov., 1639, the freemen granted this tract conditionally to the Farms. [See
' Section 81.]
§ 102. 7th. The Farms, or Farm Lands. The first notice in the records of the Farm
lands is in the preceding order, concerning the Freemen's Common. Three months
afterwards (Oct. 14, 1638), it was " Ordered, that the Farms granted shall begin at
the nearest meadow to Dedham Line, beyond the line that runneth at the end of the
Great Dividends, parallel to the line at the end of the town bounds [Sudbury Line],
and so to go on successively from Dedham bounds, in order as they are given out, as
they which are deputed to lay them out shall see good, and appoint the proportion
of meadow, being twenty acres to one hundred and fifty acres of upland." At the
same time it was " Ordered, that Daniel Patrick, Abraham Browne, John Stowers,
Edmund Lewis, and Simon Eire, or the major part of them, shall lay out the Farms
as they are ordered." The next year (Nov. 27, 1639), it was " Ordered, that if the
Land in view for Farms shall not suffice to accommodate the rest of the townsmen
that are behind, that then they shall have their farms out of the Freemen's Com
mon, upon the same condition that the rest have theirs."
§ 103. In the Files of the County Court, is the following document. The sum
maries in brackets, here inserted, are not in the original ; and a name in brackets,
following that of a grantee, shows who had become proprietor of the lot previous to
1644. This order for allotting the Farms by 10 in a division, and with the lots so
numbered, is by no means lucid, and is, indeed, enigmatical. " 1642, 3 m. 10 d. Or
dered [by the town], that all the townsmen that had not farms laid out formerly,
shall take them by 10 in a division, and to cast lots for the several divisions, allow
ing 13 Acres of upland to every head of persons or estates."

HISTORY OF WATERTOWN. 1029
" This is a true copy, taken out of a transcript of the Town Book of Watertown,
this 7 (2), 1668, (signed), John Sherman. Confessed in Court, by Mr. John Sherman,
6 (2), 1669, Thomas Danforth."
§ 104. By examining this schedule, it will be found that there are the names of
92 grantees, while the highest number of a lot is 104, and that there are 12 or 13
numbers blank, or without a grantee's name. In one or two instances, the same
number is attached to the lots of two grantees, probably, oversights in making the
schedule, or in the copy of it. In the introduction to the schedule, mention is made
of " farms laid out formerly," that is, previous to May, 1642. A range of lots, on
the south side of the highway [? Sudbury Road], was laid out to the following per
sons, whose names are not in the preceding schedule. The lst lot in the range,
adjoining Sudbury Line, was that of Bryan Pendleton, by him sold to Peter Noyes,
and very early purchased by George Munning. The next, adjoining it on the east,
was that of Daniel Patrick ; next, Simon Eire, 200 A. ; next, John Stowers, 130 A. ;
next, Abraham Browne, 130 A. ; next, John Whitney, 120 A. ; next, Edward How,
200 A.; next, Jeremiah Norcross, 250 A.; next, Thomas Mayhew, 250 A. To
these may be added the following names, not found in the preceding schedule, viz. ;
Sir Richard, 300 A., granted to him by the General Court, which farm passed to
his son Henry; Edmund Lewis, 100 A. ; Edward Garfield, 100 A. It will be per
ceived that the committee of Oct., 1638, to lay out the farm lands, was composed
of persons here named, and not contained in the schedule, and, that during three
years and a half after their appointment, they seem to have laid out few besides
their own farms.
§ 105. It may be seen, in the order for the laying out the Great Dividends, that
all the meadows within them were excepted. Among these were Patch Meadow,
whose location has not been clearly ascertained ; Pond Meadow, in the N. E. part
of Waltham ; Rock Meadow, on the borders of the upper part of Beaver Brook, and
situated partly in Watertown [Waltham], and partly in Cambridge [W '. Camb. and
Lex.]; West Meadow, on the northern border of the town, adjoining Cambridge
[Lex.], but the exact location not ascertained. Numerous proprietors of lots in these
meadows are found in the schedules of possessions and inventories. Besides the
Beaver Brook Plowlands, a considerable number of meadow lots on Beaver Brook
were held by different persons. Perhaps, these were identical with Rock Meadow.
Other meadows are mentioned, of which we know very little. Chester Meadow, was on
Chester Brook, the outlet of Sherman's Pond. Edward Garfield, in his Will, men
tions a " meadow further side of Chester Brook, called Plane Meadow'," and in his
Inventory, it is called Chester Meadow. Pequusset Meadow [See Section 81].
Several small tracts of meadow, not designated by distinct names, were situated among
the Small Lots. Cherry Meadow, was probably on Cherry Brook, a W. branch of
Stony Brook. Crooked Meadow, Long Meadow, Slendergut Meadow, &c.
§ 106. For much additional information respecting the allotment of lands ; regu
lations for fencing and feeding in common ; for surrounding the plowlands in com
mon enclosures, &c, see the transcript of the original records, as printed, pp. 995 &c.
§ 107. There was much dissatisfaction among the Watertown people, with the
early allotments of the Remote Meadows, the lands in lieu of township, and of the
farm lands, which led to much contention and repeated surveys. Jan. 10, 1647-8,
Mr. Bisco, Lieut. Mason, and Isaac Stearns, were appointed a committee " to deter
mine the wrong in laying out the Remote Meadows;" and at the same time a com
mittee of 7 (Lieut. ( Mason, John Coolidge, Dea. Hastings, Mr. Bisco, John Sher
man, John Warren, and Mr. Pendleton), was appointed to consider the disputes
" about lands in lieu of township." The dissatisfaction and contention continued
many years, at least until 1663, and it was probably this state of affairs, that ac
quired for a considerable tract of land, in the S. W. part of Watertown, the name
of " the land of contention," terms frequently occurring in deeds. About 1663,

1030 APPENDIX I.
this part of Watertown was again surveyed and plotted out by Capt. John Sherman,
in order to be allotted to those to whom it was granted. It contained 1102 acres,
including that covered by water, and was bounded on the south by Dedham ; west
by Natick and Sudbury, otherwise by Watertown farm-land. There is in the county
records a delineation of the outline of this tract, as surveyed, but not a plot of the
farms within it.

SOIL, FORMATION OF THE LAND.
§ 108. For an account of the soil, and of the formation of the land, within the three
precincts of Watertown, we must rely chiefly upon the descriptions of them by
those who resided there, and were very competent observers.
§ 109. Rev. Dr. Francis, in his History of Watertown, says : " The soil of Water-
town is in general remarkably good. A portion of the southeastern extremity of
the town is sandy, poor, aod barren ; but with this exception, the land is among the
best and most productive in the Commonwealth. The soil consists for the most
part, of black loam, having a substratum of hard earth, so that it suffers little com
paratively from drought in the summer. There is [in 1830], very little woodland
in the town, nearly all the land having been cleared and cultivated." We may
infer, from the early records, printed in the preceding pages, and from the subse
quent records, that it was not well wooded at the first settlement, as strict orders
were passed very early to prevent the destruction of trees; as trees, single or in
small numbers, were sometimes granted or accepted as a compensation for debt or
service, and individuals were sometimes permitted by a town order, to take dead
trees on the common land. Townships are rarely found, especially in New Eng
land, where so very large a proportion of the land is well adapted to tillage, and
where there is so very little broken or waste land, as in Watertown.
§ 110. There are few hills of any considerable elevation, and only two or three
appear to be named in the early records. The first is Strawberry Hill, repeatedly
mentioned in the early schedules of possessions. There has been much perplexity
and uncertainty, as to its locality; whether it was identical with Schoolhouse Hill,
or was situated farther north, near the Cambridge Line, or a little west of Fresh
Pond. It is stated, on page 47, on what then seemed to be sufficient grounds, that
the 50 Acre homestall of Capt. Jennison, was situated on the northern side of Bel
mont Street, where J. P. Cushing, Esq., now resides. This homestall was bounded
on the north by the lot of Thomas Philpot, which lot was bounded on the north
by Strawberry Hill. In 1697, Mary, wid. of William Price, sold to Samuel Liver
more her house and 12 acre lot, which was bounded N. E. by Cambridge Line, and
west by Philpot's lot. Any evidence, that Philpot had more than one lot of land,
had been sought in vain. We now suppose that, after the schedule of possessions
was completed, in 1644, and before Philpot became insane, about 1646 or 7, he had
purchased a second lot near Cambridge Line, upon which he built a house, and which
the town held and rented to various persons, for more than 70 years ; that the lot
between Jennison's homestall on the south, and Strawberry Hill on the north, was
the one sold, in 1651, to John Clary, by order of the Court, to defray the expense
of Philpot's imprisonment, and which Clary, in 1688, sold to William Bond, Esq.,
then proprietor of the Jennison homestall. This supposition is favored by the cir
cumstance that, in the schedule of possessions, the Philpot lot at Strawberry Hill
contained, by estimation, 10 acres, while the lot, so long rented by the town, con
tained between 3 and 4 acres. It now seems to be clearly ascertained, that Capt.
Jennison's homestall, of 50 A., was on the north side of Mount Auburn Street [at
first called Mill Street], between Common and School Streets, and that Strawberry
Hill was identical with School-house Hill, afterwards called Meeting-house Hill. In

HISTORY OF WATERTOWN! 1031
the Mid. Registry of Deeds, p. 383, is a deed, dated May 25, 1694, by Thomas Un
derwood and wife Mary, conveying to Nathaniel Fisk " land on the south side of
Strawberry Hill (or the School-house Hill)," bounded east " by highway over the
hill by the school-house." This seems to prove the identity of Strawberry and
School-house Hills. It is the highest point of land in the town.
§ 111. Whitney's Hill, is supposed to be the same which has of late been called
White's Hill. The homestall of John Whitney, of 16 A., bought of John Stick
ling, was situated east of it [see Whitney, 1 and 60]. Oct. 29, 1697, Joshua
Whitney, then of Groton, sold this 16 A. homestall to Corp. [afterwards Dea.]
Nathan Fiske, and it was then bounded on the N. by Joseph Sherman, and Henry
Spring; E. by Thomas Bond; S. by Lieut. Jonas Bond; W. by N. Fiske. At an
early date, John Whitney, Sen., and his sons, had become proprietors on the north
and west sides of this hill. In 1644, the homestall of John Whitney, Jr., was on
or near the spot where Mr. Charles Whitney now or lately resided, and he owned
the lot in the Town Plot at the S. W. corner of Belmont and Lexington Streets.
The meeting-house, built about 1695, where Mr. Angier was settled, was at the S. E.
angle of the Belmont and Lexington Street cross-roads, and it was ordered to be
built between wid. (Hannah) Stearns and Whitney's Hill, and was sometimes de
scribed as between the Pound and Whitney's Hill. The Pound was then at those
cross-roads, where it was constructed about 1687. Elbow Hill is sometimes men
tioned in the description of roads, and was probably nothing more than a declivity
in Lexington Street, at first called the Concord Road. The highest point in Mount
Auburn Cemetery is less than 100 feet above tide water, and before its present
appropriation, this tract, or a part of it, was called Stone's Woods. It does not
seem to have been deemed of sufficient height or importance to be designated or
referred to in any of the records.
§ 112. A writer in the Mass. Hist. Coll., 2d Ser. III., in describing Waltham
[the middle precinct of Watertown], says : " The land in the south part of the
town, which runs parallel with Charles River, the distance of two miles, and half
a mile in breadth [i. e. the Hither and Further Plains], is very level, and is mostly
of a light, sandy soil, not very deep. Adjoining the river it is fertile. The inte
rior of the town is of a hard, loamy soil, upon a gravelly bottom, and tolerably fer
tile ; in general the land is uneven, and in some parts rocky. Almost every farm is
or may be fenced with stone-wall, from its own grounds ; and probably few towns in
the country exhibit more excellent walls. * * * * In the north and westerly parts
of the town, the land is much broken, and somewhat hilly, but productive." There
are a few high points of land in Waltham, considerably higher than any in Water-
town. The highest and most conspicuous is Prospect Hill, about half a mile west
of Waltham Plain. It rises with a regular rounded surface, like the back of a
porpoise, to the height of 482 feet above tide-water. A large pine tree formerly
stood on its summit, and it was one of the first points seen by mariners on approach
ing Boston harbor. It commands a very wide, diversified, and beautiful prospect.
In an ancient record it is called Knapp's Garden. Bear Hill, west of Prospect Hill,
and bordering on Weston, has about the same height. Mackerel Hill, near the
N. E. corner of the town, is less elevated, but commands a beautiful prospect, includ
ing Boston harbor. It has borne this name from a very early date. The first hill
within the ancient limits of Watertown, that is noticed in the early records, is Mount
Feake named for Mr. Robert Feake, of Watertown. It was discovered and named
by Governor Winthrop and his exploring party, in January, 1631-2. It is too in
significant in magnitude to be entitled a mount, or even to be thus noticed as a hill ;
and the party must have been in a jocose mood, when they gave it its designation
and importance. Much of it has been removed or destroyed of late in the grading
of a railroad. There has been, heretofore, some uncertainty about its locality. [See
Dr. Kendal's Centennial Sermon, p. 28.] This uncertainty seems to be dispelled.
It was near the east border of the Oldham Farm, a little distance S. W. of the western

1032 APPENDIX I.
end of the Further [Waltham] Plain. According to the terms of the Grant of the
Oldham Farm, in Ap. 1634, it lay " near Mount Feake, on the northwest of Charles
River." Mr. Richard Browne had a grant of 12 acres of meadow "at Mount Feake,
at the turn of the river," which was bounded W. by the Oldham Farm, and E. by
the river.
§ 113. In the appendix to the Centennial Sermon of Rev. Dr. Samuel Kendal, of
Weston [the farmers' precinct], he says : "The town is in general uneven, and in
some parts, a broken tract of land. High cliffs or ledges of rocks are found within
its limits. * * * A considerable proportion of the town is elevated above the com
mon level of the adjacent country, and gives an extensive view of other parts. A
hill of excellent land on the southwesterly part of the town presents a very exten
sive, and, in the month of May, a very romantic prospect. The soil in the elevated
and rocky parts of the town is, in general, a deep-red strong loam, very favorable to
the growth of fruit trees. There are several tracts of plain land ; but these are of
no considerable extent. The hills are mostly springy, and very little subject either
to frost or drought. A number of brooks and rivulets accommodate the inhabitants,
and pay their tribute to the bordering streams. The greatest part of these brooks
rise within the town, and are fed by springs. There are few or no stagnant waters,
but several tracts of meadow, that abound with excellent peat." No hills are
named in Weston, in the early records.

ROADS.
§ 114. The attempt to identify the primitive or very early roads, residences, and
other localities, is attended with much difficulty and perplexity, for reasons already
stated. [See Sect. 84.] Most of the present roads in the town are undoubtedly of
very early date, with slight changes or variations in some instances, but not such as
to affect their identity. It is probable, however, that some highways, cartways,
and lanes, then made use of to reach the very numerous small lots into which the
town was at first divided, were long since vacated, or so changed that they cannot
now be clearly identified, with the originals. A few of the roads received names very
early, and others are so described that they can be clearly identified.
§ 115. The earliest reference to roads in the town records, is in 1635, probably
Sept. 14, when it was " agreed, that John Warren and Abraham Browne shall lay
out all the highways, and to see that they be sufficiently repaired." In 1636 (pro
bably in Nov.), it was " Ordered, that there shall be an highway left sufficient at the
hither end all the great dividends or lots." In 1637, it was "Ordered, that there shall
be eight days appointed for every year for the repairing the highways ; and every
man that is a soldier or watchman to come at his appointed time, with a wheelbarrow,
mattock, spade, or shovel, and for default hereof, to pay for every day 5s. to the
town, and a cart for every day to pay 19s." Dec. 30, 1637, it was " Ordered, that
there shall be a highway between Ephraim Child and Thomas Rogers' ground, lying
in Dorchester Field, leading to the Flats." This was probably what was sometimes
called Crooked Lane, running between E. Child and John Sherman, who bought
Rogers' lot after his decease.
§ 116. The two most important roads, at least the most so at first, were Mill
Street and Sudbury Road, the one terminating and the other beginning at the Mill,
near to the wear. Mill Street began below Mount Auburn, where Sir Richard Sal
tonstall began his plantation, and selected his homestall lot, and passing by the
ancient graveyard, it extended to the Mill, at the first or lowest falls on Charles
River. It did not long retain this name, but acquired that of the Cambridge Road,
or the Road to the College, and sometimes the County Road. It has recently been
named Mount Auburn Street.

HISTORY OF WATERTOWN. 1033
§ 117. The road extending westward from the Mill, was at first sometimes called
the Country Road, but it has been much more commonly known as the Sudbury Road,
since the planting of that town. It was the County Road, and it is often designated
as such in deeds, inventories, &c. It is now Main Street, and it retains this name
through Waltham to Weston. It is said that, for a long time, there was more travel
on it, than on any other road in the colonies. It was the great thoroughfare from
Boston and its vicinity, passing over Boston Neck, through Roxbury, Brookline,
New Cambridge (Newton), and over Mill Bridge ; thence westward through Water-
town, including Waltham and Weston ; to the western part of the Colony, to Con
necticut, New York, and the Southern Colonies. Some of this travel was diverted
by the building of Cambridge Bridge ; and still more by the Worcester turnpike.
The recent construction of railroads has diverted so much of what was retained, that
as a thoroughfare it is now comparatively deserted. It has not been ascertained
that the direct road from Cambridge to Waltham. which is very ancient, had any
distinct name in very early times, when the first schedules of possessions were
made. In later times it has been commonly designated as the Back Road, and
recently it has been named Belmont Street. The road now called Lexington Street,
beginning at Belmont Street, and extending northward by Elbow Hill, was anciently
called the Concord Road. In Dec. 1638, it was " Ordered that the highway leading
to Concord, shall be 6 rods broad." Whether that part of Lexington Street, extend
ing southward from Belmont to Main Street, had any distinct designation in early
times, has not been ascertained, but the whole of it is of a very early date. What
is now called Howard Street, was at first called the Way to the Little Plain, and in
later times, the Road to Dirty Green. That part of the present Pleasant Street, ex
tending westward from Howard Street, was at first only a cartway, laid out for the
accommodation of the Beaver Brook Plowlands in the Hither Plain; and in the
early schedules of possessions, it was commonly called ihe Way betwixt Lots. [See
Sect. 93.] That part of Pleasant Street, extending eastward from Howard Street
to the Mill, was called ihe Way to [along] ihe River. That part of Common Street,
extending northward from Belmont Street, was called Stone Street, and it had that
name, where it turned southeastwardly, until it reached Hill Street. That portion
of Grove Street, extending northward from Mount Auburn Street, is the one referred
to in the following order, passed, May 10, 1642 : " Ordered, that an highway being
laid out from Justinian fiolden's lot, to George Parkhurst's house, six rods wide,
and from thence to Richard Beers' lot, 2 rods wide, shall be for the use of the town
forever." In the schedules of possessions it is called a Drift Way, and it extended
only to R. Beers' lot. Washington Street, was at first called ihe Way to ihe Pond,
and is frequently so mentioned in the early schedules. It extended directly to the
Pond, and did not then turn towards Cambridge, as in the recent maps. There was
another road, called Pond Road, north of Cambridge Street, running from Camb.
Village, or meeting-house, towards Fresh Pond.
§ 118. The roads between Mount Auburn [" Mill"] Street, on the north, and the
river on the south, at the west of Mount Auburn, differed very much from those
delineated on recent maps. Ancient roads have been vacated and Others laid out,
and this greatly increases the difficulty of ascertaining the location of the grants
and early possessions in that part of the town. Bank Lane is often mentioned by
name, or referred to, in the early description of lots. It began near the Mill Bridge,
extended eastwardly through Dorchester Field, passing along at a little distance
from the river, and on the south side of Mount Autrarn. It then turned north
wardly, and was probably the same, which was then sometimes called Water Street.
From the notices of it, as a boundary of lots, it may be inferred that its course was
not direct, and that there is now no road corresponding with it, except perhaps the
S. E. portion of what is now called Grove Street. That part of Common Street, or
a road nearly coinciding with it, running southwardly from Belmont Street, over
Strawberry Hill, was sometimes called Bowman's Lane. The homestead of Nathaniel

1034

APPENDIX I.

Bowman was on the west side of it, at a little distance south of Belmont Street.
The present School Street, extending northward from Belmont Street, in the early
schedules of grants and possessions, was called Hill Street, and it is often mentioned
by that name.
§ 119. On the 24th March, 1640-1, at a town meeting, it was "Ordered, that
there shall be a cartway through William Hammond's lot and Edmund James's
meadow, and so through the lots of John Warren and Isaac Sterne, to fetch hay
from Rock Meadow and the Remote Meadows." It is supposed that this cartway,
beginning at Stone (Common) Street, answered to what is now called North Street,
but that it began farther north than at present. In 1658, the selectmen ordered
"Capt. Mason and Dea. Bright to lay out the highway through Corporal Ham
mond's land, from Mr. Eire's house to John Biscoe's land." Whether this order
refers to a road corresponding in part with the present North Street, or to the northern
part of Stone Street, is not clearly ascertained. As before stated, that part of the
present North Street, east of Common Street, was then a part of Stone Street. North
Street, extending westward, on the south side of Mackerel Hill, passed along near,
and nearly parallel to, the northern border of Waltham, and it was known formerly
as Trapelo Road. Febr. 7, 1658-9, "Ordered, a highway in the way that goes to
Chester Brook," which was the west branch of Beaver Brook. Busby's Lane is
often mentioned in the early description of lots. It began at Cambridge Street, east
of Mount Auburn, and extended to the small homestall of 2 A. of Mr. Busby, origin
ally granted to John Livermore, and situated on the East Bay of Fresh Pond. It
is probable that the southern portions of School Street and of Common Street do not
correspond exactly with the ancient streets running in the same direction.

PONDS AND WATER-COURSES.
§ 120. The earliest writers who notice Watertown, mention it as being well
watered, and it has been supposed, with good reason, as already stated [Sect. 23],
that it derived its name from this circumstance, as, in this respect, no other very
early town could be compared with it. Besides the numerous springs noticed by
early writers, but whose number and position cannot now be determined, the ponds
and water-courses are numerous.
§ 121. When Watertown was first planted and named, Fresh Pond, the largest in
the town, was entirely within its limits. After the planting of New Town (Cam
bridge), the northeastern and smaller portion of the pond was within the bounds of
the latter. Since 1754, when the eastern part of Watertown was taken off and an
nexed to Cambridge, less than one-half of the pond has belonged to Watertown.
This pond is renowned for the purity of its water, and for its ice, which is shipped
in large quantities to all parts of the world. There are several much smaller ponds
in the eastern part of the town to be seen on the map, but too small to have received
any permanent designation. Two or three of them are enclosed in Mount Auburn
Cemetery, one of which is called Forest Pond, probably the ancient Shallow Pond.
Two others are a little further west, and another at the southwest.
§ 122. Farther west, within the bounds of Waltham, is another pond, about three-
fourths of a mile long and half as wide, generally known as Sherman's Pond, some
times, more recently, as Fiske's Pond, and Mead's Pond. Its area is supposed to be
about 100 A. In the early records it is sometimes mentioned as the Great Pond,
before it appears to have obtained either of the other names. It is within the
northern or high grounds of Waltham, and is the source of the ancient Chester
Brook, or West Branch of Beaver Brook.

HISTORY OF WATERTOWN. 1035
§ 123. About half a mile west of the site of the old Waltham Meeting-house is
a pond and an extensive bog, called Beaver Meadow, through which the ancient
Chester Brook passes. There is good reason to believe that this bog was formerly
covered with water, and was the pond to which Winthrop refers, where "the beavers
had shorn down divers great trees, . . . and made divers dams across the brook,"
thereby making a large pond, and leaving a bog after the dams were destroyed. At
a little distance south of this is a small sheet of water of about four acres, now called
Lily Pond, having its outlet through Beaver Meadow into Chester Brook.
§ 124. In the western part of the town, as originally granted, were included a
part, if not the whole, of Walden's Pond (now in Concord) ; a part of Sandy Pond,
and the whole of Beaver Pond, both now in Lincoln, and a part of Nonesuch Pond,
the larger portion of which is within the bounds of Natick.
§ 125. The town was watered on much the largest part of its southern border by
the beautiful Charles River, originally called the Massachusetts River. Its average
width is eight rods ; tide-water extends about three miles above the eastern border
of the town, and it is so far navigable for small vessels. At the head of tide-water
was a fall, which furnished water-power for the first mill built in the town, and one
of the earliest in the colony. [See Mills and Fisheries.] Above this are other falls,
furnishing water-power for the Bemis Mills, and for the Upper and Lower Waltham
Factories. These water-powers were not, however, made use of until a comparatively
late date.
§ 126. Besides several streams, too small to have obtained permanent names, there
were a few brooks, branches of Charles River, sufficiently large to furnish water-
power for mills. Smelt Brook, having its source in Newton, passes through and
enters Charles River within that small portion of Watertown which lies on the south
side of the river. Mills have been built on it in Watertown and in Newton.
§ 127. The first considerable tributary to Charles River, on the north side, within
the ancient boundary of Watertown, was Beaver Brook. Winthrop says, Jan. 27,
1631-2, "The Governor, and some company with him, went up Charles River about
eight miles above Watertown, and named the first brook on the north side of the
river (being a fair stream, and coming out of a pond a mile from the river) Beaver
Brook, because the beavers had shorn down divers great trees there, and made divers
dams across the brook." This brook, which enters Charles River at the lower end
of Waltham Plain, is made up of two main branches, which unite about 250 yards
from the river. The west branch originates in Sherman's Pond, and after a course
of about two miles, passing through Beaver Pond, and through what 'was long known
as the Livermore Farm, but of late as the Lyman Farm, unites with the east branch.
The volume of water is sufficient for a mill, which was built upon it, probably by
Dea. Thomas Livermore, in the early part of the last century. The eastern and
larger branch begins in Lexington (Cambridge Farms), and, passing through the
western corner of West Cambridge, and through Rock Meadow, it runs most of its
course through the eastern border of Waltham until it joins the west branch. A
fulling mill was first built upon it in 1663, and afterwards other mills, on or near
the present site of Kendall's Mills.
§ 128. It is evident that Gov. Winthrop did not explore that locality, as he does
not give correctly the source of the west branch, nor refer to the other branch. The
author of the " Topographical and Historical Description of Waltham," adopting
Winthrop's statement, appears to regard the west as the main branch, as the true
Beaver Brook, and the eastern branch as a tributary. This must be erroneous. By
consulting ancient deeds and surveys of roads, it will be found that the eastern
branch in early times, always bore the name of Beaver Brook, and that the western
branch coming out of Sherman's Pond, was the ancient Chester Brook, upon which
Chester Meadow was situated, probably not far below the mill. These were named
for Mr. Leonard Chester [see p. 735], and must have received their names very soon
after that excursion of Gov. Winthrop, as Mr. Chester arrived in 1633, and left

1036 APPENDIX I.
Watertown in 1636. Some modern improvers have given the name Clematis to the
middle portion of the ancient Beaver Brook.
§ 129. About 350 rods west of Beaver Brook, a small stream enters Charles River,
which has occasioned some perplexity, owing to Winthrop's account of it. It is
too small to be deserving notice except for this circumstance. From its relation to
Adam's Chair and Mount Feake, as given by Mr. Winthrop, this small stream, now
almost dried up, must have been Masters' Brook. Yet he says it was " greater than
the former" (Beaver Brook). It is evident, from its channel and its sources, that it
could never have had such a magnitude, wbich is applicable only to Stony Brook,
which is a mile west of Mount Feake. The latter bore its present name at least as
early as 1640 or '41, and has always retained it; while the small stream, near
Mount Feake, has been known as Masters' Brook until a late date. We are com
pelled to conclude, either that Winthrop, through inadvertence, wrote greater for
smaller, or that, upon returning from his excursion, and writing in his journal, his
recollection of the localities had become confused.
§ 130. The largest tributary to Charles River, within the ancient bounds of
Watertown, is Stony Brook. It originates in Sandy Pond, which is near the north
west border of Lincoln, and is partly within the original bounds granted to Water-
town. It runs a S. S. E. course, passing through Beaver Pond, until it unites with
Charles River, about two miles above Beaver Brook. Its principal branch is the
ancient Slower' 's Brook, for which, in modern times, a less euphonous name, Hobb's
Brook, has been substituted. It originates in a small pond near the eastern border
of Lincoln, originally within the bounds of Cambridge Farms (Lexington), and, after
a course of about four miles nearly due south, it unites with Stony Brook, about
two miles from its junction with Charles River. This is supposed to be the same
stream which was sometimes called Four Mile Brook. On the west side and above
the junction of Stower's Brook is another smaller branch called Cherry Brook. It
is large enough to be used for a small manufactory. It is probable that Cherry
Meadow, sometimes mentioned in ancient records, was upon this stream. Stony
Brook furnishes valuable water-power, and there are several mills upon it. [See
Section 143.]

THE WEAR AND FISHERY.
§ 131. The fishery in Charles River, at Watertown, has always been deemed of
considerable importance, but much more so in early, than in latter times. Johnson
[Wond. Work. Prov.] says : " This town [Watertown], abounds with several sorts of
fish at their seasons, bass, shad, alewives, frostfish, and smelts." Wood [New Eng
land's Prospect, 1633] says, " A little below this fall of waters, the inhabitants of
Watertown have built a wear to catch fish, wherein they take great store of shads
and alewives. In two tides they have gotten one hundred thousand fishes." In the
spring of 1632, this wear was constructed by the permission and encouragement of
Gov. Winthrop, but without an order, which could be granted only by the General
Court. He gave this permission, because, if they had waited for a meeting and order
of the Court, the season for fishing would have passed, before the wear could be con
structed. At the next meeting of the Court, May 9, 1632, " It was ordered, that
the town of Watertown shall have that privilege and interest in the wear they have
built, up Charles Biver, according as the Court hereafter shall think meet to confirm
unto them." On the 3d of Sept., 1634, the Court " Ordered, that no man shall fish
with a net nearer the wear at Watertown, than the further part of the island in the
river, and there also, never to cross the river wholly with any net, except it be at high
water or after." Notwithstanding the reasonableness, almost the necessity of the

* HISTORY OF WATERTOWN. 1037
action of the Governor, and the early sanction of the Court, that permission
of Governor Winthrop was, not long afterwards, one of the points of accusa
tion brought against him by Dudley, the disaffected and unfriendly deputy Go
vernor. § 132. It is not known who took the lead in the construction of the wear, but it
is not improbable that it was the energetic and enterprising Mr. John Oldham,
whose " house near the wear at Watertown," was burned down in August of that
year (1632). [Winthrop, I., p. 87.]
At a town meeting (of the freemen), in Jan., 1635-6, it was " agreed, that there
shall be four rods in breadth on each side of the river, and in length as far as need
shall require, laid [out] to the use of the wear, so it may not be prejudicial to the
Water Mill. Also, one hundred and fifty acres of ground to the wear upon the other
side of the river, to be laid out in a convenient place."
§ 133. The orders of the Court, just quoted, imply that the wear was built by or
for the town, and was public property. If so, it not long afterwards became private
property, and was held in shares. The 150 acres granted by the town, passed with
the wear to Mr. Mayhew, and it was confirmed to him by an order of the Court,
June 2, 1641, when it was " agreed, that Mr. Mayhew shall enjoy the 150 acres of
land on the south side of Charles River, by Watertown wear."
§ 134. On May 29, 1639, Thomas Mayhew mortgaged to Matthew Cradock, of
London, one-half of the Mill (which he had purchased of Mr. C.), and six shares
in the Wear at Watertown, as security for £240. On Feb. 27, 1639-40, Mr. May
hew conveyed to Gov. Dudley, for £90, the rent of his wear for the last four years,
which is, by lease, let to Robert Lockwood, Isaac Sternes, and Henry Jackson, for
six years ; also, the river-side and inheritance of the wear forever, subject to a
certain mortgage [to Mr. Cradock]. On the 6th of March, 1643-4, for £59.10.2,
Dudley sold to Edward How all right and income in the wears in Watertown, ex
cept £22.15.6, due from Isaac Stearns and Robert Lockwood. Elder Edward How,
by his Will dated June 3, 1644, conveys to his heirs " the wears with all their pri
vileges thereto belonging;" and they continued for many years in the possession of
his two sons-in-law. Mar. 30, 1662, Nathaniel Treadway, with Sufferana (How),
his wife, sold to Nathaniel Coolidge, all his right in the wears on Charles River,
near the Corn Mill ; and on May 26, 1663, John Stone, of Sudbury (the other son-
in-law of Mr. How), sold to Nathaniel Coolidge, all his right in the river and fish
ing wears in Watertown, being the one-half thereof.
§ 135. At a town meeting held Ap. K, 1671, "Upon consideration, that the
Indians being like to buy the privilege of the wears and fishing at the river, which
the town apprehend will be much to the damage of the town, they being like
to be bad neighbors, the town voted, all, as one man, that they were altogether
against their having the wears, or that they should set down so near the town." At
the same time it was voted to purchase the wears for the use of the town, and a com
mittee was chosen to treat with Nathaniel Coolidge on the subject. From that time
the wears have continued to be the property of the town, and have been annually
rented at the highest price that could be obtained.
§ 136. At the time of the purchase of the wears of Coolidge, Watertown com
prised the territory of Waltham and Weston, and when these towns were incorporated,
they retained a joint proprietorship in the wears, which continued until the com
mencement of the present century. It was finally cancelled at the same time, and
on the condition, that they were exonerated from the burden of contributing to the
maintainance of the Great Bridge over Charles River. [See Sections 146-155.]
8 137. Mar. 8, 1742-3, the County Court granted the petition of Richard Beers,
and others of Waltham, to construct a wear in Charles River, provided they leave
one-third of the river free for fish to pass and repass.
8 138. As early as 1738, altercations arose between Watertown and the towns
situated on the otber side of the river, respecting their claims to the fishery. In
that year the people of Newton, Needham, Medfield, and Sherburne, presented to

1038

APPENDIX I.

the General Court a complaint against the inhabitants of Watertown, for stopping
the course of the fish in Charles River. At the same time a complaint of the same
tenor, was presented by the Indians of Natick. The representative of Watertown,
Jonas Bond, was directed to defend his constituents in opposition to these petitioners.
The complaints and altercations were afterwards frequently reiterated.
§ 139. The number of fish resorting to this river has gradually and greatly
diminished since the first planting of the town, especially within the last half cen
tury, and the value of the fishery has, of course, declined. The profits of the fishery
have of late been divided between Watertown and Brighton, the former receiving
seven-tenths thereof, and the latter three-tenths, which division has been the result
of litigation.

MILLS.
§ 140. Neither the exact date nor the builder of the first mill in Watertown have
been ascertained; but it was probably built, in 1634, by Edward How, at the joint
expense of himself and Mr. Matthew Cradock. It was built at the first fall, at the
head of tide-water, on Charles River, on " Mill Creek," which was a canal partly or
wholly artificial, leaving the river at the head of the falls, where a stone dam was
made across the river. It is probably the oldest artificial mill-race or canal in this
country that has continued in uninterrupted use. The mill is not mentioned by
Wood [New England's Prospect, 1633], who mentions tho wear and the falls, where
the mill was built; but it was built before August 19, 1635,* when Mr. Edward
How sold one-half of jt to Mr. Thomas Mayhew for £200, for which Mayhew gave
a bond and mortgage for £400, with condition, that if said Mayhew pay said How
£200, the bond to be void, else said How shall enter upon the moiety of the mill, as
if he had never made sale thereof. Mr. Mayhew bought the other half of the mill
of Mr. Cradock, through his agent, Nicholas Davison, and on the 29th May, 1639
(perhaps the day of purchase), mortgaged this half of the mill, with six shares of the
wear, to Mr. Cradock, as surety for £240. On the 18th April, 1640, Mr. Mayhew,
for £400, sold to Thomas Dudley, Deputy-Governor, one mill, "bought of Edward
How, Elder of the Church of Watertown," and of N. Davison, agent of Mr. Cradock
of London, subject to the mortgage to Mm Cradock. This mortgage to Mr. Cradock
was redeemed by Mr. Dudley on or before Mar. 7, 1643—4. No evidence has been
discovered of the redemption of that mortgage of Mayhew to How, and that bond of
Mayhew was one of the items in the Inventory of Mr. How, who died in the summer
of 1644. From this statement of the facts, it is not strange that Mr. How should
urge his title to the mill with pertinacity; and notwithstanding Winthrop's state
ment [II. p. 50], which seems imbued with partiality or personal pique,"}" there is rea
son to surmise that the official influence, and domineering disposition of his antago
nist, gave a shape to the decision of the Court. Gov. Dudley died July 31, 1653;
the next September a petition was presented to the General Court, by his executors,
requesting that the legatees, to whom " Mr. Dudley gave Watertown Mill, have
power to dispose of it for the use of the heirs ;" which petition was granted. The
greater portion of the mill was probably purchased about this time by Mr. William
Paine, first of Watertown, afterwards of Ipswich and Boston. His son, John Paine,
of Boston, on the 20th Jan., 1663, conveyed the mill as security to Samuel Apple-
ton, of Ipswich, who had married Hannah, the only daughter of William Paine.
[See Paine, p. 384, and also Mid. Deeds, III. 51.] On the lst Sept., 1676, Samuel
Appleton, on behalf of his dr. Judith, sued Caleb Church for the possession of five-
sixths of the corn-mill in Watertown. It appears by the Will and Inventory of
* A grant of land was made to the mill in Jan. 1634-5.
t Tho lead, which Watertown people had taken m resisting Gov. Winthrop's policy of taxation without represen
tation; and their adoption cf strict Independency, in opposition to his politico-ecclesiastical policy, produced a
prejudice against them, in his mind, which on several occasions he ill conceals.

HISTORY OF WATERTOWN. 1039
Thomas Dudley, Jr., a grandson of the Governor, that his share of the mill, " my
grandfather Dudley gave me," appraised at £40, had not been sold in Nov., 1655,
but by the will was directed to be sold. Mr. Thomas Danforth was one of the
executors, and probably bought this share, which may have been that one-sixth
which did not come into the possession of Mr. William Paine and his heirs. Hon.
Thomas Danforth and others, who had become proprietors of the mill previous to
Nov. 30, 1686, when jthey had erected a fulling-mill adjoining to the corn-mill,
asked and obtained liberty of the town to build a house on the N. side of the [mill-]
stream. Oct. 6, 1710, Mary, daughter of Hon. Thomas Danforth (wife, first of
Solomon Phipps, Jr., and afterwards of Thomas Brown of Sudbury), by deed con
veyed to her daughters, Sarah and Abial, all her rights in the corn-mills and fulling-
mills on Charles River in Watertown. [See p. 197, note.] The subsequent line of
proprietors and occupiers of the mills has not been ascertained ; but they were for
many years occupied by Stephen Cook, Jr., and afterwards by David Learned. In
1653, the mill was rated at £l40 for the support of the ministry.
§ 142. The next mill built in Watertown was a fulling-mill, built on Beaver
Brook, supposed to be on or near the spot where are now Kendall's Mills. May 30,
1662, Timothy Hawkins sold to Thomas Agar, of Roxbury, fuller, three-fourths of
an acre of land, bounded N. and E. by Richard Sawtel ; W. by land of Thomas
Smith; S. by Wm. Knapp; E. by lands in common [? boundary of Hawkins' whole
lot], with all the accommodation of water, for the erecting and maintenance of a
fulling-mill in the said place, and on the (?) river that passeth through the same;
also the right of way. Dec. 18, 1663, Thomas Agar, fuller, of Wat., sold the same
lot of land, with the fulling-mill thereon erected, to Thomas Loveran, late of Ded
ham, Co. Essex, Old England, cloth-worker. Jan. 3, 1669-70, T. Loveran sold
this land and mill to Timothy Hawkins and Benjamin Garfield, described as
surrounded on all sides by land of T. Hawkins. [Mid. Deeds, III. p. 52-7, and
IV. 72.] A corn-mill was erected there before 1690, of which, at that time, Thomas
Rider was proprietor, and mortgaged the mill and 30 acres of land to Dr. Philip
Shattuck the next year. In 1700, the mills or a part Of them, belonged to Samuel
• Stearns, son-in-law of T. Hawkins. [Mid. Deeds, XII. 515 and 625.]
§ 143. The next mill in Watertown was on Stony Brook, and probably built at
the joint expense of John Livermore, Richard Child, and Josiah Jones, of Water-
town, and John Heywood, of Concord. Feb. 19, 1678-9, they bought of Nathaniel
Treadway and wife 30 acres, in lieu of township,* bounded S. E. by George Parkhurst,
and N. W. by Joseph Underwood. At a town meeting, Jan. 5, 1679-80, it was
" granted that the new corn-mill, now set up and to be finished at Stony Brook, be
freed from rates for 20 years, from Jan. 5, 1679-80." On Mar. 3, 1683, John
Heywood, of Concord, and wife Anna, for £60, sold to John Livermore one-fourth
part of Stony Brook Mills; and on Ap. 21, 1684, Josiah [? Lewis] Jones and wife
Lydia, for £60, sold to John Bright all his one-fourth share of mills at Stony Brook,
viz., 30 acres bought of N. Treadway, and land bought of John Chadwick, with
houses, &c. These mills were probably owned some time by Lieut. John Brewer,
and afterwards, for a long time, known as Bigelow's Mills. [See Section 130.]
§ 144. The mills, built on the three points just referred to, were the only ones in
the town for the first seventy, probably the first hundred, years after its settlement.
During the last century, at dates not ascertained, several other mills were built
within the ancient limits, including Waltham and Weston. One, long known as the
Bemis Mill or Factory, was built on the river, about one mile above the " Old Mill."
Another on the river, about a mile and a half further up, was built by John Boies,
where the Waltham Factory has since been built; another on Smelt Brook, on the
south side of the river; another on the ancient Stower's Brook, of late known as
Hobb's Brook • another on the ancient Chester Brook. Since the beginning of the
* This was probably the 30 A. lot, No. 43, beyond the further plain, granted to Edward How, and sold by his soa-
in-law, Treadway.

1040

APPENDIX I.

present century, mills, large and small, for various manufacturing and mechanical
purposes, have been so multiplied and enlarged, within the original limits of Water-
town, as to absorb a large amount of capital, employ nearly or quite all the water-
power, and give employment to very numerous families.

FERRY AND BRIDGES.
§ 145. In the town records there is no notice of any ferry ; but in the Colonial
Records, is the following license. By the Court, Nov. 5, 1633, " Mr. Richard
Browne, is allowed by the Court to keep a ferry over Charles River, against his
house, and is to have 2d. for every single person he so transports, and Id. apiece,
if there be two or more." The spot where this was kept has not been ascertained.
Probably it was a little to the East of Mount Auburn, where he had 1\ A. of marsh,
bordering on the river, and 7 Acres of upland, which he sold early to R. Wellington.
§ 146. There are several bridges within the bounds of Watertown, mentioned in
the early records. The earliest, and much the most important, was that built over
Charles River, at the head of tide-water, very near the first mill, and usually called
Mill Bridge, or the Great Bridge. The earliest reference to this bridge is in the
records of the General Court, June 2, 1641, when it was ordered that " the toll of
Mr. Mayhew's bridge is referred to the Governor and two magistrates, to settle for
seven years." The right or privilege of a toll-bridge was not granted, as appears
by the record of the Court, for Oct. 17, 1643, when the Court granted Mr. May
hew " 300 acres of land in regard of his charges about the bridge at Watertown
Mill, and the bridge to belong to the country."
§ 147. The next May (1644), the Court ordered this grant to be laid out to Mr.
Mayhew, and appointed a committee (Peter Noyes and Edmund Goodenow of Sud
bury), for that purpose. It was probably located in or near Nashaway ; but there is
no record of it. It is evident from the transactions not long afterwards, that this
was only a foot-bridge ; and, although it was " to belong to the country," there was
no provision, in the above grant to Mr. Mayhew, for the repair and maintainance
of it. Very soon after obtaining that grant, Mr. Mayhew moved to Martha's
Vineyard. § 148. The following preamble and order, in the records of the General Court, for
May 26, 1647, show the origin of the first horse-bridge ; and the terms imply that
it was the first one ever built across Charles River. "Whereas, complaint hath
been made to this Court of the great want of a horse-bridge near unto Watertown
Mill, and that the want thereof hath hazarded the lives of several persons, and may
endanger many more, and for that the best and most commodious place is in ihe bounds
of Watertown, it is ordered by the authority of this Court, that there be a sufficient
horse-bridge made over the river there, by the inhabitants of Watertown, before the
first of the 9th month [Nov.], next ensuing, upon pain of forfeiture of £10, and
after that 10 shillings a day to the country, till it be made up as aforesaid."
§ 149. Watertown did not immediately comply with this order ; for, on the 11th
of November, 10 days after the time assigned for finishing the bridge, the Court
" granted the town of Watertown to the first of the 4th month [May] next, upon
the penalties prefixed to the former order; also, they have chosen Mr. Hibbens, Mr.
John Glover, the surveyor-general, and Edmund Rice, before the first of the first
month [March] next, to view and appoint a place to put up the bridge for the benefit
of the country and town within the bounds thereof." At a town meeting Dec. 28,
1647, " the town appointed Mr. [Nathaniel] Biscoe and Isaac Stearns to consider

HISTORY OF WATERTOWN. 1041
how the bridge, over the river, shall be built, and to agree with the workmen for
doing it according to their best discretion." As it was not completed in the time
specified, upon petition the Court granted that Watertown shall "have till the 10th
of the 7th month [Sept.] next, for building their bridge, under the former penalty
in the last Court order." When the bridge was completed, does not appear in the
records, but on the 28th of the next November (1648), the selectmen ordered pay
ments to be made to Mr. Biscoe and Isaac Stearns for work done at the bridge.
§ 150. The construction and materials of the bridge were so defective, that it re
quired not unfrequently to be repaired or rebuilt; and, for the first hundred years,
Watertown felt the building, rebuilding, and maintainance of it to be a heavy bur
den, and repeatedly asked aid from the county, but without success. It appears in
the above cited grant to Mr. Mayhew, that the bridge was " to belong to the country,"
not to the town, and in the order of the Court, the committee were " to appoint a
place to put up the bridge for the benefit of the country."
§ 151. In less than twenty years it was found necessary to rebuild the bridge, and
in Nov., 1667, the selectmen ordered that the land on the Meeting-house Common,
upon the W. side of the way from the meeting-house to pastor Sherman's house, shall
be sold, and the pay to go towards building the bridge at the Mill; and in the same
month the land was sold to John Coolidge, Jr., for 20 shillings per acre. The select
men agreed that the bridge should be built with baskets, and in Dec. they agreed
with John Coolidge, Jr., to build the bridge for 40 shillings a basket; the baskets
to be each 8 feet long, 6 feet broad, and 7 feet between the joints ; the town to fill
the baskets with stones, to lay the timbers in place, the sill to be laid even with the
ground ; the bridge to be half trees, slit with a saw, to be three abreast to each bas
ket, and the bridge to be at least three feet wide, to be done by the first of Septem
ber. At a town meeting, Dec. 10th, three days after the bargain with J. Coolidge, Jr.,
it was voted not to allow what the selectmen had done about the sale of the land on
Meeting-house Common, and about the bridge. The width of the bridge, shows that
it was not designed for carriages, but only for horses, cattle, and pedestrians.
Whether this scheme of the selectmen for building a bridge was carried out, the
records do not show.
§ 152. A committee on the bridge was appointed Aug. 3, 1681, and the next month,
Sept. 20, £14 was put in the hands of Caleb Church, the miller, to procure liquor,
as cheap and good as he can, for the comfortable carrying on the work at the bridge.
Mar. 28, 1684, the selectmen desired Caleb Church, to make the bridge over Mill
Creek, the old bridge being carried away by the flood. The bridge over the river
appears to have been destroyed before May, 1694 ; for in that month the selectmen
and surveyors agreed with John Barnard, Jr., for the carpentry of Mill Bridge, he
to provide 5 or 6 hands, if he can ; he to have 3s. Qd. per day and find himself, and the
hands half a crown a day, and find themselves. The bridge was not immediately
built, for on July 24, 1695, the town voted»that Ensign Barsham, David Fiske, and
Daniel Warren, Jr. (surveyors), take care that there be a bridge built over Charles
River, as near the place-where it stood before as may be conveniently, and that it
be a foot bridge; also that Corp. (Joseph) Sherman, Ensign (John) Hammond,
Serj. (Samuel) Thatcher, and John Stacey, be added to the surveyors, in advising
how, &c. Sept. 6, 1695, there was a presentment against the town for want of a
bridge over Charles River, to which it was replied that it was repairing. Again, as
early as 1714 there was a presentment for the want of a bridge over Charles River,
and the town appointed a committee in May, 1713, and again in May, 1714, to apply
to the Court to have Charles River Bridge maintained by the County of Middlesex.
June 8 1714 the Court do not see cause to comply with the petition of sundry prin
cipal inhabitants of Watertown, but dismiss the same. The next month, July 13,
the selectmen of Watertown, appearing in Court to answer the presentment of said
town for want of a bridge over Charles River, near the Mill, the Court, upon view
of the record of the Honorable [General] Court's grant of land for charge about the
66

1042 .APPENDIX I.
bridge, by or near Watertown Mill, asserting the bridge to belong to the country,
the Court dismissed the presentment for the present, they paying the fees. The
next year, July 5, 1715, the selectmen appearing in Court on the same presentment,
say the bridge was built at the charge of the country, and was so to remain, as ap
pears from a copy of a record of the General Court (referring to the terms of the
grant to Mr. Mayhew), and the Court continued the consideration thereof, till the
next Quarter Sessions. The same subject coming before the Court the next year, Ap.,
1716, the Court, finding that Watertown has maintained and supported a foot and
horse bridge over said river, upwards of fifty years, order Watertown to repair said
bridge forthwith.
§ 153. In the present state of private and public pecuniary resources, and the
great progress made in civil engineering, the building of a bridge over Charles River
would be regarded as a very trifling, unimportant enterprise. But it was not so in
early times. For the first eighty years after its settlement, the whole assessed value
of Watertown was less than a twentieth part of the estate of a single inhabitant at
this time. The expenses of supporting the ministry, schools, the government, and
paupers, the building and repairing of meeting-houses and school-houses, the making
and repairing roads, and the occasional heavy charges and losses resulting from
Indian warfare, occasioned a very heavy taxation. As an illustration of this, it may be
observed, that the annual expense of supporting the ministry alone, in the time of
the Rev. John Sherman, was about two per cent, upon the whole assessed value of
the town. Under these circumstances, it is not strange that Watertown should often
complain of being compelled to maintain " the Great Bridge," for the convenience of
the country, at their own expense.
§ 154. Upon the incorporation of Weston and of Waltham, one of the stipulations
upon which the rest of the town consented thereto, was that those towns should
continue to render their proportional aid in the maintenance of the Great Bridge ;
and this arrangement continued until the commencement of the present century. In
the records of the several towns may be found frequent reference to this business.
For an account of the time and manner in which this joint responsibility was can
celled, and the whole devolved upon Watertown, see Francis, p. 116 ; and Section 136.
§ 155. The other bridges mentioned in the early records were those over Beaver
Brook, Stower's Brook, Smelt Brook, and Chester Brook. The first mention of the
bridge over Beaver Brook (in Sudbury Road, now called Main Street) was Oct. 8,
1673, when the selectmen paid for "a gallon of liccur at the. putting down of Beaver
Brook Bridge." There was a presentment against the town in 1695, and again in
1705, for want of a bridge over Smelt Brook. At the last presentment, Jonas Bond,
Esq., in behalf of the selectmen, answered, it was a shallow place, and a good bottom,
and needed not a bridge; yet the Court ordered that the said way be forthwith
mended on pain of paying £5. In April, 1713, the town was presented for suffering
the bridge over Stower's Brook, in the upper way [the road leading to Lincoln],
orderly laid out, to be defective. It was answered that there never was a bridge
over Stower's Brook at that place. The next December, a report was accepted as to
the way called The Old Way [crossing the brook near Hobbs's Mill]. In Aug., 1719,
the town was again presented for not building a bridge " over Stower's Brook, on
the town road ['the upper way'] leading to the northerly Precinct of Weston."
Major Jonas Bond, in behalf of the selectmen, presented their plea, that they were
under heavy charges for building the Great Bridge ; but the Court ordered the way
to be speedily repaired. In the preceding January, the town had agreed with Thomas
Learned and Capt. Thomas Prentice to rebuild the Mill Bridge over Charles River.
A bridge over Chester Brookis sometimes mentioned at an early date, but at what
time or place it was first built, has not been ascertained.
§ 156. The Cowpen Farm. Nov. 2, 1649, the town appointed John Sherman to
get a pen of one acre, fenced with four rails, for "lodging a herd in the woods, and
to procure a small house for lodging the herdsman, towards Sudbury bounds."

HISTORY OF WATERTOWN. 1043
Mar. 31, 1651, the selectmen engaged Solomon Johnson, as herdsman, at £25 per
annum, and allowed him the use of the house. Dec. 16, 1651, an agreement be
tween tbe selectmen and Johnson was signed, making him herdsman for seven years.
Seven years afterwards, Oct. 1, 1658, another agreement with Johnson, as herds
man, was signed. Sept. 4, 1660, a committee (Serj. Beers and Serj. Bright) was
sent to the Cowpen Farm, to examine the condition of the fences, housing, &c, and
they reported that Johnson had not performed his covenant; and on the 5th Dec,
1660, articles of agreement were signed by the selectmen and Henry Curtis, relating
to the Cowpen Farm, leased to him for seven years, with 40 A. of upland, of which.
13 A. are broken up land (leaving out the land of John Sawin), also 20 A. of mea
dow ; the rent free the first year, and he to pay £5 a year for the other six years.
At the same time, a committee (Serj. Beers, Serj. Bright, and Nathaniel Treadway)
was appointed to run the line between John Sawin and the Cowpen, and to stakfe out
70 A. for the Cowpen Farm. When this farm was first laid out, by mistake, it en
croached upon land of John Sawin, and " to prevent differences," the town agreed,
Ap. 12, 1659, to pay John Sawin. This farm of Sawin was the lot in the Dividends
originally granted to Bryan Pendleton ; by him sold to Peter Noyes ; by him sold
to George Munnings; by him sold to John Sherman ; and in Ap., 1653, repurchased
of Sherman by Munnings, in behalf and for the use of John Sawin, his son-in-law,
and his grandson, John Sawin, Jr. In Dec, 1661, the following were the boundaries
of this farm: W., Sudbury Line; N., Highway; E. by farm land, "which Curtis
doth farm ;" S., common land. This farm land, cultivated by Curtis, was probably
the farm originally granted to Capt. Daniel Patrick. [See Section 104.] Oct. 1,
1662, it was "agreed [by a vote of. the town] that the Cowpen doth belong to the
farm land," and it was voted, Jan. 18, 1663-4, that Henry Curtis hold the lease
until it expires. But, on the 7th Nov., 1664, the town ordered the Cowpen Farm
to be sold; and on the same day it was bought by John Livermore, Sen., and given
to his son, John, by whose family it was held for a long time. It is probable that
the Cowpen ceased to be used for its original purpose, sometime before this sale of it.

GRAVEYARDS.
§ 157. The earliest mention of a burying-place, in the town records, is July 5,
1642, when it was " ordered, that Hugh Mason, Thomas Hastings, and John Sher
man, are appointed to set up a sufficient [fence] about The Burying-place, with a five
foot pale, and two rails well nailed, by the 15th of 2d [? 7th] month, and the town
to pay them for it." The next December 20th, a rate was ordered, and one item
was, "for fencing the burying-place, £6 10s." Its location is not described; but it
was doubtless what is now known as The Old Graveyard of Watertown. It is at the
S.kE. corner of Mount Auburn Street [Mill St., or Camb. Road] and Grove Street.
It is about half a mile west of Mount Auburn Cemetery. The terms of the above
order imply that it was then in use, and well known as the burying-place, and it is pro
bable that it had been used for sepulture from the first planting of the town. If any
other lot was used for the same purpose before it, it must have fallen into disuse
very soon leaving no vestige or tradition of its existence. There can be only
extremely few, if any, older graveyards in New England, and it was the only one in
the town (then including Waltham and Weston) for more than seventy years. In
it repose the remains of the Puritan progenitors and kindred of hundreds of thou
sands of people, not only of those who have lived, or are living, in almost every
town and village of New England, but of very many who are dispersed throughout
North America. Some evidence of this may be found in the preceding genealogies.
S 158. The origin of the two next graveyards are of the same date. At a town
meeting' Jan. 1, 1702-3, it was " voted that they give liberty to the Society belong-

1044 APPENDIX I.
ing to the Middle Meeting-house [Mr. Angier's], and the Society belonging to the
Farmers' Meeting-house, to choose and appoint some convenient place for each
Society for burying-places to bury their dead in, or for any others belonging to said
town, and make return of their doings therein. 2d. Voted that if the said burying-
place or burying-places cannot be procured without paying for them, the inhabitants
will pay for them, as they can agree, or as they shall be valued by independent inha
bitants mutually chosen." At a town meeting, Oct. 23, 1704, it was " voted, that
the town will give Richard Blois three pounds in money, and all the land lying be
tween Capt. Benjamin Garfield's field, Beaver Brook, and the Country Road, and the
road leading over Beaver Plain to be four rods wide through said land, the said
Blois giving to the town treasurer a deed of the land, as it is already laid out/for the
use of the town forever for a burying-place for the middle part of the said town."
This land of Blois's was probably the 4 A. lot of upland in the hither plain, granted
to his father, Edmund Blois, bounded N. by the highway; W. by common land
[i. e. not yet granted]; E. by John Loveran. This land,* conveyed to Blois in
exchange for the burying-ground, afterwards belonged to Daniel Flagg, and at a
town meeting, Mar. 6, 1720-1, "liberty was granted Daniel Flagg to fence in the
Westerly Burying-place in Watertown, making a gate." At a town meeting, Jan.
3, 1722-3, it was "voted to accept of the highway laid out by Daniel Flagg, near
Beaver Brook, which is on the side hill, instead of going through the low land, where
it was formerly." This is now called Grove Street. This continued to be the only
graveyard of Waltham for more than one hundred years. Other lots have of late
been appropriated to the -same use. We find nothing further in the town records
respecting the burying-place of the Farmers (Weston) ; but it appears by the Mid.
Reg. of Deeds, that, previous to May 3, 1704, Mary Sherman (wid. of Rev. John S.)
and James Sherman, of Sudbury (ex'rs of Rev. John Sherman) had sold part of a 4
A. lot, near the Farmers' Meeting-house, for a burying-place.
§ 159. The second graveyard, within the present limits of Watertown, is situated
at the intersection of Mount Auburn and Common Streets, on the N. side. The date
of the appropriation of the land to this purpose has not been ascertained; but it was
probably about 1754, when a meeting-house was built there. Since this lot was
opened, there have been comparatively few interments in the old, or lower graveyard.
§ 160. Within the present century other graveyards have been laid out, one of
which is renowned for its extent, its natural beauties, and all the additional attrac
tions, which wealth and refined taste can give it. But, although Mount Auburn
Cemetery is within the limits of Watertown, it cannot, with propriety, be deemed
one of its graveyards. It is the burial-place of the wealthy and distinguished of
the metropolis of New England, abd of a wide region around it. It is situated in
the midst of that region of small lots where the first planters of the town first settled,
and as it contains more than 100 acres, it probably includes a very considerable
number of those ancient homestalls; but their exact localities are not sufficiently
well ascertained to determine who were the original grantees of the lands. Deacon
Simon Stone had a grant of 12 A. of upland, supposed to be the southern border of
the cemetery, and previous to 1644, he had purchased several other adjoining lots,
so that, at this date, his homestall contained 50 acres, and probably much of it is
embraced within this cemetery. Much of the land in the cemetery is not adapted
to tillage, and it long bore the name of Stone's Woods.

INDIANS.

§ 161. The history of Watertown has been very little implicated directly with the
Aborigines. It never suffered a hostile invasion by them, and was often a refuge of
those who fled from other plantations to escape the atrocities of Indian warfare. It
* This lot was the residence of the late John Bright, Esa.., and it ie now occupied by his heirs.

HISTORY OF WATERTOWN. . 1045
had an Indian name (Pequusset), and it is not improbable that it was an Indian
settlement, before the country had become so nearly depopulated by a very fatal
epidemic. The advantages of Watertown for planting, beaver hunting, and espe
cially for fishing, must have been attractive to them. We have not discovered that
the English settlers ever purchased the territory of Watertown from the Indians,
except probably a small claim, in 1638, on the south side-of the river. Capt. Roger
Clap says, that the ten Dorchester men, from on board the Mary and John, who
went up to Watertown on the 31st May, 1630, when they had encamped in Dorches
ter Field, learned that 300 Indians were in their neighborhood. These were pro
bably the Nonantum Indians ; for Nonantum was only a short distance from
Dorchester Field, on the other side of the river. It is not improbable that their
number, in this instance, was much exaggerated. "Upon a complaint made by
Sagamore John and Peter, for having two wigwams burnt, which, upon examina
tion, appeared to be occasioned by James Woodward, servant of Sir Richard Salton
stall, it was therefore ordered that Sir Richard should satisfie the Indians for the
wrong done to them (which accordingly he did by giving them seven yards of cloth),
and that his said servant should pay unto him for it, at the end of his time, the sum
of Ls. [50s]." [Colonial Records, Mar. 8, 1630-1.] On the 4th Sept., 1632, the
Court ordered a severe penalty to be inflicted on Richard Hopkins, of Watertown, for
selling guns, powder, and shot, to the Indians.
§ 162. At a General Court, Sept. 6, 1638, " it was agreed that the Court of
Assistants should take order for the Indians, that they may have satisfaction for their
right at Lynn and Watertown." The next spring, Mar. 12, 1638-9, " the Court de
sired Mr. Gibbons to agree with the Indians for the land within the bounds of
Watertown, Cambridge, and Boston." May 13, 1640, by the Court, " it was ordered,
that the £23 8 6, laid out by Capt. Gibbons, shall be paid him, vidt., £13 8 6 by
Watertown, and £10 by Cambridge; and also Cambridge is to give Squa Sachem a
coat every winter while she liveth." The situation and extent of the land purchased
at this time are not given; but it was probably the Indian claim to "the wear lands,"
and Nonantum, on the south side of the river. This conjecture is favored by the
circumstance, that Cambridge [Newton] and Boston [Muddy River] were embraced
in the commission, and that Watertown and Cambridge paid the expense.
§ 163. In 1671, an attempt was made by Indians to purchase of Nathaniel Coolidge
the fishing wears, with their privileges, in Watertown ; but this was effectually re
sisted by the town. [See [28] p. 747, and Section 135.]
§ 164. Although the town was never invaded by hostile Indians, Watertown sol
diers and emigrants encountered their full share in Indian wars and. massacres. An
early and very notable instance was the massacre of Mr. John Oldham, at Block
Island, in July, 1636, which was the immediate cause of the exterminating Pequot
war. Aug. 25, 1636, soon after the report of this massacre was received, the Gover
nor and Council sent 90 men under four commanders, one of whom was William
Jennison (then an Ensign. but made a captain the next March), in three shallops,
with orders to put to death the men of Block Island, but to spare the women and
children • then to go and demand satisfaction of the Pequods, and if refused, to en
force it. ' George Munnings, of Watertown, was one of the volunteers in this expe
dition, and Oct. 28, 1636, the Court granted to him £5, and the fines for a week,
" in regard of the loss of his eye, in the country's service in the voyage to Block
Island." § 165. To carry on this war, Massachusetts agreed the next April 15th, to furnish
160 men of whom 14 were to be raised in Watertown. Capt. William Jennison,
of Watertown was one of the committee appointed May 17, 1637, " for the present
expedition for 'men, munition, and provisions," for this war, and he was soon after
on a committee for apportioning to the several towns an additional levy of 50 men,
of whom 4 were to be raised by Watertown. As prompt action was necessary, "the
first of the Massachusetts men, that could be raised," consisting of 40 men, were

1046 . APPENDIX I.
placed under the command of Capt. Patrick, of WatJ&rtown, and their departure
hastened. Robert Seeley, a Watertown man, who had moved to Connecticut, not
long before, was lieutenant, next in command under Capt. John Mason, in that
dreadful fight, which exterminated the Pequot nation.
§ 166. Many of the very early towns (as we have attempted to show in another
place, Section 48, 49, &c), were planted chiefly, or in part, by emigrants from Wa
tertown, and a full history of those towns, as Wethersfield, Lancaster, Groton, &c,
&c, would show that Watertown planters and their descendants have not been ex
empt from a full share of the perils and hardships of a border life, often environed
by savage neighbors. The history of no war gives a full record of the slain, and of
the sufferings resulting from warfare ; more especially would this be the case in wars
waged by such foes as the American Indians.
§167. Besides the massacres of these early plantations, settled by Watertown
people, we have the names of some, who did not migrate from Watertown, but
went to aid in the defense of those plantations, and fell a sacrifice to their public
spirit. William Flagg, was slain at Lancaster, Aug. 22, 1675. Capt. Richard
Beers, was slain, and John Chinery, mortally wounded in battle, at Northfield, Sep
tember 4, 1675, and in the same month John Ball was slain at Lancaster. In the
same year, John Sherman, Jr., son of Capt. John Sherman, fell in the Narraganset
fight. In Feb., 1675-6, George Harrington, of Capt. Wadsworth's company, was
slain at Lancaster. Upon the attack upon Groton, in Blarch, 1676, 40 Watertown
men marched to their relief. At a later day, Serj. Jacob Fulham, of Weston, fell
heroically in the renowned fight at Lovewell's Pond, May 8, 1725. Lieut. Gersham
Flagg, of Woburn, eldest son of Thomas, of Wat., was slain by Indians, July 6,
1690, at Lamprey River.

EARLY MEETING-HOUSES, CHURCHES, AND MINISTERS.
§ 168. As the first settlers "resolved that they would combine into church-fellow
ship, as their first work," it is very probable that they very soon constructed a house
for public worship. Their number was so great from the first, that they could not
all be accommodated in any one of the small hastily built tenements, which they
must have first erected. One was certainly built before 1634, as the first transac
tion in the records, after the distinct civil organization of the town, related to the
meeting-house. The records do not show when or where it was situated ; but as the
residences of Sir Richard Saltonstall, Rev. Mr. Phillips, Elder Richard Browne,
and of most of those, who were first admitted freemen, were at the east of Mount
Auburn, and as that part of the plantation was then designated " the town," there
can be little or no doubt, but that the first meeting-house was built; there. On
the 7th Aug., 1635 (? 36), a rate of £80 was ordered to be levied for " the charges of
the new meeting-house," which implies that there was another and older one. It is
conjectured that this new one was built on the Meeting-house Common, near the old
graveyard. It was provided with a bell as early as Feb., 1648-9, when a bill for a
bell-rope was ordered to be paid, and the next September a town rate was levied " to
build a gallery in the meeting-house."
§ 169. On the 14th of Oct., 1654, it was ordered that a new meeting-house be
built between Serj. Bright's [where Mr. J. P. Cushing now resides], and John Bis-
coe's [N. W. corner of Belmont and Common Streets], and they agreed wish John
Sherman to build it by the lst of Sept. 1656, for £400, with the use of the old
seats; and a rate of £150 was then ordered to begin with; and, it was agreed
that " Cambridge meeting-house shall be the pattern in all points." There was,
however, so much dissatisfaction among the people with that site, that, on the 20th

HISTORY OF WATERTOWN. 1047
of the next February, it was " voted that the site of the meeting-house be deter
mined by Mr. Endicote, Capt. Bridges, and Mr. Aderton [? Athertoo]." No record
of their decision has been discovered, but it probably resulted in the building of it
on the Meeting-house Common, on or near the site then occupied, and it is probable
that the house was completed about the time stipulated, as on the 7th of November,
1656, an order was passed " to seat the meeting-house," and the rules were : lst,
office; 2d, age ; 3d, estate.* A little more than a year afterwards (Jan. 22, 1657-8),
it was ordered, that brother [Edmund] Blois, shall have £3, for looking to the meet
ing-house. It appears that he held this office until his decease ; for, on the 24th of
May, 1681, the selectmen chose Benjamin Crispe, " in the room of goodman Blois,
to take care of the meeting-house, with a salary of £4 10." This continued to be a
place of public worship for the whole town, including Waltham and. Weston, until
after the resignation of Mr. Bailey, when an earnest controversy arose about the
inconvenience of the location, which resulted in a division of the church, and the
building a meeting-house at the southeast corner of Belmont and Lexington Streets,
on the homestall lot originally granted to Rev. John Knowles.
§ 170. Soon after the decease of the Rev. Mr. Angier, the town was divided into
two precincts, with a distinct boundary between them, and distinct and independent
ecclesiastical organizations. Soon after this each society built new meeting-houses.
The western precinct (Mr. Angier's Society), built theirs a little north of Waltham
Plain, near the old Livermore homestead, of late known as the Lyman Place ; and
in 1723, the Eastern Precinct (Mr. Gibbs's Society), built their new meeting-house,
50 ft. long, and 40 ft. wide, on School-house Hill, afterwards known as Meeting
house Hill, and which is the ancient Strawberry Hill. This continued to be the
place of worship until 1754, when a new meeting-house was built near the corner of
Mount Auburn and Common Streets.
§ f 170. The first church of Watertown was organized July 28, 1630, and, next after
that of Salem, is the oldest inHhe colony of Massachusetts Bay. [See Sections 11-
17.] It was the only church in the town for sixty-six years. Rev. George Phillips
was the first and the only pastor for more than ten years. It was the first
church that adopted strict Independency, or Congregationalism ; and, in this respect,
for some time, it stood alone, at least until after the arrival of Rev. John Cotton.
For a long time it adhered more strictly to Independency than either of the other
churches. We may infer this from Mather's account of the organization of the
church ; from Winthrop's account of the ordination of Mr. Knowles, and from suc
ceeding ordinations. Mr. John Knowles was ordained pastor, Dec. 9th, 1640, as a
colleague of Mr. Phillips.")" With the exception of an absence of about seven months
on a mission to Virginia (Oct. 8, 1642 to June 20, 16431), he continued a pastor of
Watertown about ten years. He is said to have sailed to England in 1650, but the
precise date has not been ascertained. This was probably a sudden determination,
as he was admitted freeman in May of that year. He was, for about three years and
a half, a colleague of Mr. Phillips, who d. July 1, 1644. After this event, he was
sole pastor about the same length of time ; after which, about the close of the year
1647, Rev. John Sherman returned from Milford to Watertown, and became his
colleague. [See pp. 432 and 935.] This shows that Mr. Sherman was not the im
mediate successor of Mr. Phillips, as has been commonly represented. After the
departure of Mr. Knowles, Mr. Sherman continued to be the sole pastor until his
decease, Aug. 8, 1685. --._,, n . . _?

1048 APPENDIX I.
Watertown for the first fifty-five years. But, in the meantime, there were several
clerical men and ruling-elders residents of the town. It is said [Hist, of Glasten
bury, p. 31], that the Rev. Richard Denton came to Watertown in 1634, and the
next year went to Wethersfield. This is not improbable, although no confirma
tion of it is found in the Watertown or Mass. Colonial Records. Rev. John Sherman,
before mentioned, came over in 1634, and resided in Watertown until he was dis
missed from Watertown Church to Wethersfield in May, 1635. Mather says that,
on a thanksgiving-day in Watertown, " Mr. Sherman preached his first sermon as an
assistant to Mr. Phillips," in the presence of "many other divines," who "wondered
exceedingly" at this early display of his ability. He resided in Connecticut about
twelve years and a half. In 1636, Mr. Ralph Wheelock and Mr. Henry Phillips
went from Watertown to Dedham, with the early planters thereof, as candidates for
teacher (i. e. for the ministry). Whether they ever preached in Watertown, the
records do not show. Neither of them obtained the pastorship at Dedham. Mr.
Wheelock engaged in official civil life in Dedham ; afterwards resided in Medfield.
It is probable that Mr. H. Phillips also renounced the clerical profession. Between
1637 and 1642, Mr. Thomas Carter and Mr. Henry Greene settled in Watertown,
and received grants of land. In the lists bf possessions, they are both styled Elders.
Mr. Carter was an officer of Watertown Church, and, as an Elder, with Elder
Edward How, signed the dismissal of members to Dedham Church. He was ordained
the first minister of Woburn, Nov. 22, 1642. Mr. Green was ordained the first
minister of Reading, Nov. 5, 1645. [See pp. 261 and 776.]
§ 171. We have not discovered any notice of more than two lay Ruling Elders of
Watertown. Mr. Richard Browne had been an officer in a Church of Separatists in
London, and was an Elder of Watertown Church at its first organization. He had
undoubtedly much influence in causing the church to assume strict Independency.
He was dismissed from the office of Elder in 1632, through the influence and insti
gation of those magistrates and others who were devising and imposing that politico-
ecclesiastical domination, which has been so reproachful to that colony ; and it is
probable that their persecution of him should be attributed quite as much to his bold
advocacy of ecclesiastical independency, and his opposition to taxation without repre
sentation, as to his ideas of Popery. [See Richard Browne, pp. fl22-4.] Mr.
' Edward How, who died in 1644, very near the time of Mr. Phillips's decease, was an
Elder for several years; but the records do not show the date of his election. After
his decease, the only officers in the church appear to have been pastors and deacons.
The distinction between pastor and teacher was never recognized in Watertown.
The town records mention together the two pastors, Knowles and Sherman, giving
precedence to the former. Winthrop [II. p. 18] noticing the ordination of Mr.
Knowles, Dec. 9, 1640, three years and a half before the decease of Mr. Phillips,
says, " The Church of Watertown ordained Mr. Knowles, a good man and a prime
scholar, pastor, and so they had now two pastors and no teacher, differing from the
practice of the other churches, as also they did in their privacy [private, exclusive
manner], not giving notice thereof to the neighboring churches, nor to the magistrates,
as the common practice was." The church, in this instance, clearly evinced their
principles of strict Independency. They had the stronger reason for adhering to
these principles, after the intermeddling of the magistrates and others in the case of
their worthy Elder, Mr. Browne.
§ 172. From the preceding statement, it may be seen that the Rev. Mr. Sherman
continued the sole pastor of the church almost thirty-five years after the departure
of Mr. Knowles for England. There are no church records of that period extant,
and we know little of the condition or doings of the church during that time, except
the little that may be obtained incidentally from other sources. From the silence
of the town records, we may infer that there was peace and harmony.
§ 173. Oct. 12, 1674, ten years before the decease of Mr. Sherman, the town
voted to "desire Mr. Thomas Clark to be helpful of Mr. Sherman in preaching;"

HISTORY OF WATERTOWN. 1049
and on the 15th of June, 1685, two months before his decease, the town "voted to
treat with Mr. [John] Bailey to help the minister." On the 24th of August, it was
" voted that the town would defray the charge of our Reverant Pastor Sherman's
funeral;" and, at the same time, appointed a committee [Capt. Sherman, Father
Coolidge, Deacon Bright, and Simon Stone] to apply to Mr. Bailey. On Nov. 2,
1685, the town voted a rate of £80 for Mr. Bailey, " the year to begin Aug. 24,
1685." It appears that he did not accede to the proposll ; and, on June 8, 1686,
the town appointed a committee "to request Mr. Bailey, the elder, to appoint an
interview." At an adjourned meeting, June 20th, " the Reverant Mr. Bailey being
present amongst us, and declaring himself ready to come amongst us, in order to con
tinuing with us, if peace and love continueth amongst us, and we make his life com
fortable. The town declared, by a vote, their acceptance of his answer, and doe
desire that cear be taken to fetch him up, as soon as may be with conveniency ; and
do dezire to do thear utmost to satisfy hrs desyre." The stipulations, or bargain,
between the parties, do not seem to have been determined until about the end of
August. § 174. Mr. Bailey was installed, Oct. 6, 1686. This is said to be the first instance,
or one of the first, of an installation in the colony. The early Congregational
Churches of New England did not generally regard ordination as a ceremony or
sacrament for admitting men into the clerical order, or caste, but a process for induct
ing them into office, and investing them with the powers pertaining to it. Their
views were, that election to office, by a church, or company of believers, must precede
ordination ; that whatever power or privilege was conferred by ordination lasted no
longer than the connection of the minister with the church over which he had been
ordained; and that, if he took charge of another church as pastor, he must be in
ducted into office by another ordination. Mr. Bailey had been a minister for some
time in Ireland, where he had probably imbibed Presbyterian views of ordination ;
and when he was settled in Watertown, he was installed in office without ordination.
In his journal, he says, "I was solemnly set apart for the pastoral work at Water-
town, without the imposition of hands." [See the elaborate and learned notes of
Rev. Samuel Sewall, Am. Quart. Reg., XIII., p. 48, "Mr. Phillips," and p. 56,
"Installation."] § 175. At a town nieeting,-Nov. 1, 1686, about three weeks after the installation
of Mr. John Bailey, it was " voted with a very full vote that the town did still
earnestly desire that they might enjoy Mr. [Thomas] Bailey, the younger, to be
helpful to his brother in the ministry." He did not immediately comply with this
desire; for, on the 27th Sept., 1687, it was "voted to fetch up Rev. Thomas Bailey
at the charge of the town," and, on the 7th of November, it was voted that "Rev.
Thomas Bailey's £60 shall begin the same day he came to dwell among us, 2 Nov.
1687, with house-room and firing." The town records furnish no evidence that he
was ever ordained or installed in Watertown. He d., Jan. 21, 1688-9, after a resi
dence in Watertown of a little more than fourteen months.
§ 176. Mr. John Bailey returned to Boston, in 1692, but it is probable that he
attended very little to pastoral duties after the summer of 1690. His health was
feeble, his disposition affectionate, and his temperament nervous and desponding.
His brother Thomas d. in Jan., 1689, and his wife died in April, 1690. This last
bereavement seems to have greatly depressed him. In his church record, Ap. 12,
1690, after recording some admissions to the church, he adds, " I meant to have said
something here farther as to it [delay to join the church], but Lyddy is dead, and I
feel entirely indisposed to everything." The last time he admitted any to the church
was August 3, 1690, and at the end of the record, he says, "A sad week of tempta
tion, I had before [this], having but few in the church to help me, and encourage
me ; but God carried me through." The last time he officiated at a marriage in
Watertown, was Mar. 6, 1690-1, and the last baptism was performed May 31, 1691.
It is probable that he attended very little, if any, to pastoral duties after this date.

1050 APPENDIX I.
§ 177. In the church records, Ap. 27, 1690, Mr. Bailey says, "I admitted [to the
church] Mr. Henry Gibbs, who has sometimes preached for me, and now this quarter
of a year has lived with me." This probably indicates about what time Mr. Gibbs
first went to Watertown. Oct. 14, 1690, the town voted " to make choice of a help
to carry on the work of the ministry amongst us, in this, our great want." This
implies that Mr. Bailey still retained his pastoral relation, but was unable to fulfil
its duties. At the same time it was voted " to treat with Mr. Henry Gibbs ;" and to
give him £40. At a town meeting, Nov. 3, 1690, Capt. Sherman, Lieut. Bond, and
the deacons, reported Mr. Gibbs's answer, " that he looketh upon it as a call from
God, that he hath inclined the town to be so unanimous in their calling of him, and,
therefore, is willing to attend to the said work as God shall enable him." The town
accepted the answer, and voted that his salary began this day. This appears to have
been a call to Mr. Gibbs to be an assistant to Mr. Bailey, and not to be a pastor. At a
town meeting, a year later, Nov. 16, 1691, a committee [Mr. Bond, Capt. Warren,
and Simon Stone], was chosen " to treat with Rev. Henry Gibbs, and Mr. Bailey to
be helpful," &c. A week later, Nov. 23d, it was voted that "said committee shall
now, in ihe time of our vacancy, provide help for the town, and defray the charge
out of the £60 salary ;" and that the balance in the hands of Bond and Jennison,
"should be given to the Rev. Mr. Cosson" [Cotton]. Dec. 28, 1691, the selectmen
directed rates for the two ministers — Mr. Bailey's, but three-quarters of the year to
be collected. The circumstances and proceedings here referred to render it very
probable, that Mr. Bailey ceased to perform pastoral duties in the summer of 1691,
not long after the performance of the last baptism. As he was settled in October,
at which time his salary began, the three-quarters of the year above mentioned
would terminate in July. It was not an uncommon thing for towns to be in arrears
in the payment of ministers. This may have been the case here, and Mr. Bailey
may have remained in the town until the rate was collected, and the arrearage paid.
His pastorship in Watertown, lasted a little less than five years, and during that
time he admitted 116 to the church, performed 347 baptisms, and officiated at 39
marriages. § 178. Notwithstanding the inconvenience many of the people labored under, on
account of their remoteness from the meeting-house, which was then situated towards
the eastern border, far from the centre of the territory, and of the population of the
town, the town records do not indicate that there was any serious strife on that
account, until 1692, after Mr. Bailey returned to Boston. Yet, the Report [the
advice and determination] of the Committee of the Council, to whom the points in
dispute were referred, say, " there has been of a long time, even ever since the days
of your blessed pastor Phillips, an earnest contending about the place of meeting."
That its removal had been generally and confidently expected, for several years, is
evident from the following vote, passed at a town meeting, Feb. 12, 1685-6, pre
vious to the settlement of Mr. Bailey. "Agreed, the town would hire of any, who
should build a house for the minister, until ihe meeting-house was removed, or another
one built elseivhere." In 1685, soon after the decease of Rev. Mr. Sherman, the
farmers presented a petition, which is not recorded, but the purport of which may
be inferred from the following vote, passed by the town Nov. 10, 1685. "Voted
that the farmers' petition should be suspended, as to an answer to it, until it pleaseth
God to settle a minister amongst us." They had probably asked to be exempted
from taxation for the support of a ministry, which they could not attend on account
of their remoteness. But that contentious spirit is not evinced, which afterwards
prevailed. It appears from the record of the organization of the church of the
Farmers' Precinct [Weston], that a considerable number of the members had belonged
to the Church of Sudbury, whose meeting-house was much nearer to them than that
of Watertown. Even as early as 1650 or '51, this remoteness from the meeting
house is referred to by Johnson [Wond. Work. Prov. chap, xxxiii.], who, speaking
of " this great town, consisting of 160 families," calls it " a fruitful plat, of large

HISTORY OF WATERTOWN. 1051
extent, watered with many pleasant springs, and small rivulets, running like veins
throughout her body, which hath caused her inhabitants to scatter in such a manner,
that their Sabbath-assemblies prove very thin, if the season favor not."
§ 179. In 1692, an exciting controversy arose in the town about the location of
the meeting-house, which then stood not far from the old graveyard.
At a town meeting Nov. 18, 1692, in order to determine the location of the meet
ing-house, it was ordered that " those who are of the mind to build and set up a
meeting-house on the hill between the Pound and Widow Whitney's, let them follow
Robert Harrington, Sen. ; those that are of the mind to build it where it is, let
them follow Mr. Norcross," and, "in case we can't agree among ourselves, we will
refer it to men." It appears that they did not agree, and on the 7th of December,
the selectmen appointed Robert Harrington, Daniel Warren, Sen., and Isaac Mixer,
Sen., to petition Gov. Phipps and the Council concerning the meeting-house. A
town meeting, summoned by the Council, was held Dec. 27, 1692, at which were
present the Lieut. Governor, Major Phillips, Esq., Mr. Suel [Samuel Sewall], Esq.,
Capt. Lines [Lynde], Esq. It was then voted lst, " that matters of difference in
Watertown, relating to the settling a minister and the placing the meeting-house is
referred to a committee." 2d, " that we do pray the Governor and Council to
choose a committee, and that we will set down by the determination of that com
mittee in reference to matters aforesaid." 3d, " that we do so desire and appoint
Mr. William Bond, and Lieut. Benjamin Garfield, to apply themselves to the Gover
nor and Council for the obtaining a committee for the ends above said." The select
men received notice, Mar. 9, 1692-3, of a meeting to be held at Capt. Sewell's, in
Boston, the next Thursday at 9 a.m., "concerning the meeting-house," which meet
ing was adjourned to the 23d. The following is the "return" of the Council, dated
Boston, May 18, 1693. "Whereas, there has been of a longtime, even ever since
the, days of your blessed pastor Phillips, an earnest contending about the place of
meeting for the public worship of God. Having heard and duly weighed the alle
gations of both parties, in your public meeting, and considering the remoteness of
the most of your inhabitants, from the place where the meeting-house now stands.
Our advice and determination in that matter is, that within the space of four years
next coming, there be a meeting-house erected in your town on a knoll of ground
lying between thehouse of Widow Stearns, and Whitney's Hill ; to be the place of
meeting to worship God for the whole town. And if in the mean time the minister
see cause to dwell in the house where the Reverend Mr. John Baily dwell'd, the
town pay rent to the proprietors, as hath been accustomed since its building. So
praying to unite your hearts in his fear, we take leave, who are your truly loving
friends and brethren."
[Signed], " Wm. Stoughton, John Phillips, Jas. Russell, Sam. Sewall, Joseph
Lynde." [Addressed], " To our Brethren and Neighbors of Watertown."
§ 180. Ap. 17, 1694, the selectmen called a town meeting, to be held on the 9th
of May, one object of which was "to consider of the charge of building a new meeting
house, and to see to the performance thereof," in conformity with tbe determination
of the Council. At that town meeting was presented an earnest protest against a
compliance with the decision of the Council, " because the town, nor any part, never
desired any gentlemen to say where we should build a meeting-house, nor when ; and
we do absolutely deny ever to pay one penny towards any such building at that
place • but if the town shall see cause to erect a place of meeting, for the publick
worship of God, at the westward part of our town, so as it may be convenient, where
the farmers with such others that way as will be pleased to join with them, shall
think convenient, we shall be willing to be helpful therein, as much as may be
thought necessary," &c. This protest was signed by eighty-two men and women
residing in the eastern part of the town, and by thirty-three men and women residing
at the western part of the town, in the farms.

1052 APPENDIX I.
§ 181. The majority of the town were in favor of compliance with the advice and
determination of the Council, and they elected selectmen, who, at least a majority
of them, were of the same views. But the opposition of tbe other party, belonging
to the east part of the town, was very fierce and acrimonious. At a town meeting,
held Oct. 2, 1694, the contention was so great that the Moderator, Daniel Warren,
Sen., did, by advice, adjourn the meeting, " to prevent such inconvenience as might
justly be feared by reason of the heat of spirit that then seemed to prevail." The
contentious party immediately, through a constable of their party, appointed Simon
Stone moderator, and passed some votes, against which the selectmen afterwards
entered their dissent as irregular and not valid, and ordered their protest to be
entered in the records. A counter-dissent was entered for the other party by Ebenezer
Prout, then Town Clerk, which the selectmen soon after (Mar. 15, 1694-5) declared
was entered without their knowledge and order [for] it to be recorded. It was at
that irregular and riotous town meeting, that the vote was passed to make Beaver
Brook the eastern boundary of the Farmers' Precinct. [See § 38.]
§ 182. Notwithstanding this opposition, on the 7th of Mar., 1694-5, a levy for
building a meeting-house was ordered, at id. per pound, amounting to £320 4.*
The house was built without delay, for a town meeting was held, " at the new meeting
house," Dec 20, 1695. It was built on the southeast angle of the cross roads, at the
crossing of Lexington and Belmont Sts. At a town meeting, the next February, it
was voted to accept the new meeting-house. At the town meeting in Dec, a com
mittee (Capt. Warren, Isaac Mixer, Sen., and B. Garfield) were appointed to treat
with the Rev. Henry Gibbs. In his reply, dated Feb. 4, 1695-6, he says: "Being
sensible that there is a great dissatisfaction in the town [the eastern part of it], with
reference to that meeting those votes were passed [appointing a committee to treat
with him], I fear it might prove uncomfortable, should I express my compliance
therewith ; and so, accordingly, I am advised to decline the matter till such time as
care be taken to remove the said dissatisfaction, not doubting but that this being
effected, which I earnestly pray that God would in his own time grant, it would much
conduce to our comfort and advantage." After receiving this reply " to the town,
the town applied themselves to him again, but he refusing, then they were to apply
to some other minister to preach in the New Meeting-house;" but "Mr. Gibbs to
have the first proffer." At a town meeting, Mar. 12, 1695-6, it was voted that only
one-fourth of the rate be paid to Mr. Gibbs, and three-fourtbs of it "to be paid to
the preachers appointed by the town to preach in the New House." At the same
time, it was "voted, that the town will be at [assume] the charge of building the
New Meeting-house, that is set up in the place appointed by the Honored Committee,
bearing date May 18, 1693." Also, "voted, that the New Meeting-house shall be
the place for all publick town meetings for the future, by reason it is most in the
center." At a town meeting, March 24th, it was reported by the committee ap
pointed to treat with Mr. Gibbs that "he refused to preach even so much as one
day." There appears to have been no farther application to Mr. Gibbs, who seems
to have sympathized with what might be called the eastern faction. At a town
meeting, June 26th, 1696, it was, "1st, Voted that there should be a day of humilia
tion kept in Watertown, the time and place to be appointed by the reverend elders.
2d, That Simon Stone, Capt. Barsham, Isaac Mixer, and Benjamin Garfield, are de
sired and appointed to entreat the Rev. Mr. Samuel Willard and Rev. Mr. Cotton
Mather to carry on the work of the day of humiliation, and to appoint the time and
place of meeting."
§ 183. The records do not, I think, show the result of this application; but the
selectmen were notified that, on the 28th of August, 1696, " the church chose Mr.
Angier to preach, and they warned a town meeting to be held on the 21st of Sep
tember." At this meeting, " each party chose three persons to represent them in a
* This shows that the assessed valuation of the town, including Waltham and Weston, was, at this time, £19,212.

HISTORY OF WATERTOWN. 1053
debate with those of the middle part of the town." The east end chose Capt. Bar
sham, Simon Stone, and Joseph Sherman, to represent them, and the middle part
chose Jonathan Sanderson, Philip Shattuck, and Benjamin Garfield, " to debate those
matters of difference that did keep them from uniting in love and peace, as to the
worship of God." The " proceedings of that meeting were then suspended," i. e.
adjourned, to Sept. 28th. At this meeting, Benjamin Garfield, the Town Clerk,
" did relate to the town the proposals made by both parties, which are as followeth.
Those of the east part of the town were :
"lst. To have two congregations, and a rate made by the town for their mainte
nance of both the m[in]isters, and so the people be at liberty to go to which meeting
house they would.
"2d. Or to come to the old meeting-house again.
"3d. Or to draw lots which should be the meeting-house of the town.
" The answer of the middle part of the town are [is] as followeth : First, That two
congregations would not be convenient, because if we should be in two congregations
it is much to be feared we should be two in spirit; which, by too long experience,
we know would be very unreasonable, having built [a meeting-house] in a place for
the whole town. 3d [proposition]. As to draw lots for which place to meet in would
be altogether inconvenient, because the town did refer it to a committee, which we
count is a lot in that matter; therefore we would make some propositions to you [to
meet the three made by the other party], lst. There be a general assessment for
building Mr. Gibbs's house, repairing the old, and building new meeting-house. 2d.
Because the new house is most convenient to meet in. 3d. If the east end desire
Mr. Gibbs should be first put in vote to vote for, it shall be so ; and if there be a
major part vote for him, we will comply with it — to preach in the new house. 4th.
If Mr. Gibbs hath not a major vote, we will put Mr. Angier to vote. 5th. It was
offered to the east end to have botb ministers, and to have [no] further debates.
6th. Or [if there is to be further debate] to have moderators. So (at this same
meeting, Sept. 28, 1696) "after all this debating, the town concurred with the
church in calling Mr. Angier to preach in the new meeting-house." On the 21st
Dec, the town voted £70, as a salary for Mr. Angier, with house-room and firewood,
the year to begin this day. At the same time, a committee was appointed " to pro
cure housing for Mr. Angier, and to bring him and family to Watertown." Mr.
Angier was ordained May 25, 1697. The first baptism by him was June 20th ; the
first admission to the church, Oct. 10, 1697; and the first marriage by him, Jan. 3,
1697-8. At a town meeting, May 21st, voted, "continued concurrence in Mr.
Angier's choise." At a town meeting of the two precincts, orderly warned, July 2,
1697, it was voted that a committee (Capt. John Warren, Deacon Cook, Lieut.
Nathaniel Bond, Lieut. Jonas Bond, and Samuel Eddy) be appointed " to treat
with Rev. Mr. Gibbs to assist Rev. Mr. Angier," and "to.pay him £65, &c, if he
accepts." "The Reverend Mr. Angier, being informed of Mr. Gibbs's call, hath showed his
concurrence as followeth :
" I having been informed of a late vote of the inhabitants, for the inviting Mr. Henry
Gibbs to preach in the new meeting-house, I do heieby signify my good liking and
approbation of Mr. Gibbs his being joined with me in the work of the ministry for
the church and town in the new mee'ting-house. [Signed] "Saml. Angier."
§ 184. Mr. Gibbs did not accept this offer. He had been preaching in the old
meeting-house most of the time for nearly seven years, and his sympathies and
attachments seem to have pertained to the people of the east end, where a church
was organized very soon after the settlement of Mr. Angier, and where Mr. Gibbs
was ordained Oct. 6, 1697. The first baptism was performed by him Nov. 7th, and
the first marriage, Dec. 17, 1697.

1054 APPENDIX I.
\
§ 185. In the course of this controversy, the people at the middle part of the
town seem to have been the most reasonable and liberal ; but they did not evince this
upon the ordination of Mr. Gibbs. Judge Sewall [diary] says, the ordination of Mr.
Gibbs " was done in the afternoon in the open air, though a cold day. The western
party, having the selectmen on their side, got possession of the meeting-house, and
would not suffer the assembly to enter there."
§ 186. It may fairly be questioned which of the two was entitled to the distinction
of being the first church; that is, whether that of Watertown or that of Waltham has
the best claim to be the direct descendant of that church which was organized by
Mr. Phillips. Mr. Angier was elected and settled by a majority of the votes of the
church and of the town, and he was then the only minister of the town. His society,
or a majority of them, afterwards became the Church of Waltham. Mr. Gibbs, at
his settlement, was neither elected. nor settled by a vote of the town, but by the
party at the east end. But his society occupied the old meeting-house; the church
records, kept by Mr. Bailey, passed into his hands; and when the town was divided
into two precincts, Mr. Angier's society, after his decease, built their meeting-house
in the West Precinct [Waltham], near the old Nathaniel Livermore homestead^
while the society which settled Mr. Gibbs, embraced the whole of the Eastern Pre
cinct [Watertown], and a large number of those families who at first belonged to
Mr. Angier's society. Moreover, the church records of Waltham extend no farther
back than those kept by Mr. Angier.
§ 187. The salaries of Mr. Angier and Mr. Gibbs were for a long time paid out of
the town treasury; but there arose a controversy between the two societies about the
expenses of building and repairing the meeting-houses. The subject was referred to
Court. The advice,' or report, was not acceptable to a majority. It is probable that
the ground of the controversy was that the Western (Mr. Angier's) Society had a
majority of the voters in the town, that the Eastern (Mr. Gibbs's) Society had the
most wealth, and paid the most taxes, and that the expenses of Mr. Angier's Society
were paid in part by taxes levied on those that did not belong to it. The contro
versy continued until after the decease of Mr. Angier. Nov. 19, 1720, the General
Court appointed a committee to assign a boundary line between the two precincts.
They made their report in December, which was accepted by the town, and Samuel
Thaxter, Esq., was ordered to run tbe line. This committee likewise decided that,
within two years, the new or West Meeting-house should be removed near the house
of Nathaniel Livermore, a little distance northwest of the mansion of Geo. W. Lyman,
Esq., and that within ten years the old or East Meeting-house should be removed
to School-house Hill. [See pp. 955 and 6.] Mr. Angier's successors have been
Rev. Warham Williams, Rev. Dr. Jacob Cushing, Rev. Mr. Ripley, &c, and the
successors of Mr. Gibbs have been Rev. Seth Storer, Rev. Daniel Adams, Rev.
Richard R. Elliott, Rev. Dr. Convers Francis, Rev. John Weiss, &c. See the earlier
of these names in this work. For a more copious account of Watertown Church, see
Dr. Francis's history of the town.
§ 188. The first settlers of the Farms were so remote from the meeting-house
(from 5 to 8 miles distant) that many of them attended the meeting in Sudbury,
yet they were taxed for the support of the ministry in Watertown. At a town
meeting Nov. 10, 1685, three months after the decease of the Rev. Mr. Sherman, it
was " Voted, that the Farmers' petition should be suspended as to an answer unto it,
till it pleaseth God to settle a minister amongst us." The petition is not recorded,
but there is good reason to believe that it was, to be exempted from taxation for the
support of a ministry which they could not attend. There is no further reference to
this subject in the records until Oct. 2, 1694, where it appears that "Our neighbors,
the Farmers, were upon endeavors to have a meeting-house amongst themselves."
The next January they agreed to build a meeting-house thirty feet square, and to
place it on land of Nathaniel Coolidge, Sen., by the side of the road, at the head of.

HISTORY OF WATERTOWN. 1055
Parkhurst's meadow, a little in front of the present meeting-house. The next year
agents were chosen to contract with workmen to build the Farmers' Meeting-house.
Votes were passed in 1698, 1699, by the precinct for completing the meeting-house,
which, notwithstanding its smallness, was not so far finished, as to be occupied until
Mar. 1700. It was begun by subscription and afterwards carried on at the expense
of the precinct.
§ 189. At a precinct meeting held Oct. 8, 1700, for the choice of a minister, in
order for settlement, Mr. Thomas Symmes, was chosen, but did not accept. Soon
after a similar call was given to Mr. Joseph Morse, and on the 6th July, 1702, by a
vote of 30 to 12, they gave him a call to settle in the ministry. The next year they
built him a house 40 ft. by 20, and he gathered a congregation, but the next year
(1704), difficulties arose, so that a church was not organized, and he was not settled
[see p. 374]. Feb. 11, 1707, the precinct chose Mr. Nathaniel Gookin, to be their
minister. He did not accept; and on July 16, 1707, they chose Mr. Thomas Tufts,
who declined the call. Feb. 4, 1708, they gave a call to Mr. William Williams, to
settle in the ministry [see p. 654]. He accepted, a church was gathered and or
ganized, and he was ordained Nov. 2, 1709. He was pastor of the church about 41
years, and was succeeded by Rev. Samuel Woodward, who was ordained Sept. 25,
1751 [see p. 664]. He d. Oct. 5, 1782, and was succeeded by his son-in-law, Rev.
Dr. Samuel Kendall, who was ordained Nov. 5, 1783 [see pp. 325 and 665]. He
d. 1814, and was succeeded by Rev. Dr. Joseph Field [see p. 207]. For more full
information respecting this church, see the very valuable centennial Discourse of
Samuel Kendall, D.D.

MILITARY MEN AND AFFAIRS.
§ 190. Few of the first settlers* knew much of the military art, or were able to
teach it ; but it was necessary that every man should be trained to the best means
and mode of defence against the hostile attacks to which they were so liable. The
government, perceiving this necessity, immediately provided for it. The first re
corded transaction of the Governor and Assistants, after their arrival, having refer
ence to military or defensive measures, was at their second meeting, Sept. 7, 1630,
when provision was made for the annual support of Capt. Daniel Patrick, of Water-
town, and Capt. John Underhill, of Boston. The former had been a soldier in the
Prince's Guard in Holland, and probably both of them had been trained and habi
tuated to a military life. They continued to be supported at the public expense for
seven years. They were not merely militia or trainband captains, who had to turn
out at stated times with the soldiers of the town, where they resided, nor were their
duties limited to those towns. They were the military disciplinarians or professors
of the colony.
§ 191. There does not appear to have been any general military organization of
the colony, until about the close of 1636, in the time of the Pequot war. It is
probable that, for the first few years, Capt. Underhill had the training of the soldiers
on the south side of Charles River, — those of Boston, Roxbury, and Dorchester ;
and that Capt. Patrick had the training of those on the north side of the river, —
those of Charlestown, Watertown, New Town, and Medford, exclusive of those in
and about Salem. In Dec, 1636, all those in the colony, able and liable to do
military duty, were ranked in three regiments, as follows :
1. The South (Suffolk) Regiment, of which John Winthrop, Sen., was Colonel;
* AmonQ those who arrived a few years later, there was probably a considerable number, who had some skill and
experience' in military discipline. It is said that several of them had belonged to the Honorable Artillery Com
pany, of London.

1056 APPENDIX I.
Thomas Dudley, Lieut. Colonel ; and Capt. John Underhill, Muster-master. It in
cluded the towns of Boston, Roxbury, Dorchester, Weymouth, and Hingham.
2. The North (Middlesex) Regiment, of which John Haines, was Colonel; Roger
Harlakenden, Lieut. Colonel; and Capt. Daniel Patrick, Muster-master. It included
the towns of Charlestown, New Town (Cambridge), Watertown, Concord, and
Dedham. 3. The East (Essex) Regiment, of which John Endicott, was Colonel ; John
Winthrop, Jr., Lieut. Colonel; and Capt. William Trask, Master-muster. It included
the towns of Salem, Saugus (Lynn), Ipswich, and Newbury.
§ 192. At the Court in the succeeding March, captains, and in some instances
lieutenants and ensigns, were appointed for the trainbands of most of the towns.
But on the same day (Mar. 9, 1636-7), the Court appointed " Mr. John Underhill,
and Mr. Daniel Patrick, captains for ihe country's service, for which they are to have
£30 apiece yearly out of the treasury, and to be disposed by order of the Council
of War." At this time Capt. Patrick, although belonging to Watertown, and
holding the above-mentioned appointment, did not continue to command the Water-
town trainband, to which office Mr. William Jennison was now appointed. The
next Nov. (1637), Captains Underhill and Patrick were by the Court discharged
from any other service ["for the country"], and a gratuity of one quarter's pay was
made to each of them. It does not appear that any successors were appointed, sus
taining the same relation to the government, as they had done, and their office be
came obsolete.
§ 193. Their duties seem to have been to train and prepare the people for military
service, to hold themselves always in readiness for .the "Orders of the Council of
War," and, perhaps, to act as the military advisers of the government. It is
probable that experience in the Pequot war, had shown that the tactics and disci
pline of a Prince's Guard were not the best preparation for efficient service in
Indian warfare, and that this led to the dismission of Captains Patrick and Un
derhill, and to the abolition of their peculiar office. It is to be observed, that at
this precise time commenced that association of gentlemen, as a military company,
which was incorporated Mar. 13, 1638-9, and which, at first sometimes designated
as the First, or the Great Artillery Company, has long been known as The Ancient
and Honorable Artillery Company. As this company was formed and incorporated
for " the advancement of the military art, and exercise of arms," it may have been
regarded as a substitute for the office and services of Captains Patrick and Underhill,
and have led to their dismission. In Nov., 1637, at the same time that he was dis
missed from office, Patrick obtained permission to move to Ipswich. He, however,
remained in Watertown, as he was elected selectman Dec. 30, 1637, and the next
October (1638), he was appointed on a committee for laying out the farm lands.
Soon after this, Captains Patrick and Underhill, both moved to Connecticut, and
Patrick was murdered by a Dutchman, in Underbill's house, at Stamford, in 1643.
§ 194. The information respecting tbe early organization of the Watertown train
band is very scanty and obscure. Neither the town nor colonial records, so far as
has been discovered, show at what age young men were enrolled in the trainbands ;
but as all above the age of sixteen years were required to take the oath of fidelity
[Colonial Records, I. p. 139], that was probably the age when they became liable to
military service. Nor was there any legal limit of old age which exempted from it.
In the County Court records, there are many instances where men in advanced age
were exempted from military trainings, by the Court or magistrates, on account of
their infirmities. It will be seen below that it was not unusual for men to receive
military appointments, or advancement in rank, in advanced age, and they seemed
never to arrive at too great an age to hold them. It is, however, not improbable
that some, who held subaltern offices in early life, continued to bear the title long
after they ceased to hold the office.
§ 195. It appears from the colonial records, that the soldiers of Charlestown and
Watertown were for some time trained together; for, in Sept., 1635, by the Court,

HISTORY OF WATERTOWN. 1057
it was " agreed that Charlestown and Watertown shall be distinct companies, and to
have officers of their own." As Charlestown and Watertown were not then con
tiguous, being separated by the interposition of New Town [Cambridge], it would
seem very unnatural that the two former should be thus combined, and that New
Town should have a distinct trainband. Although New Town is not mentioned in
that order of the Court, we conjecture that, previous to that time, the soldiers of those
three towns were trained together, and that, when the order was passed " that Charles
town and Watertown shall be two distinct companies," it meant distinct from New
Town. It appears by an order of Court, passed Sept. 3, 1634, a year before the
passage of the above-mentioned order, that trainband companies sometimes "con
sisted of two or more towns," and it is probable that, until 1635, the soldiers of
Watertown, New Town, and Charlestown, constituted one company, and were trained
by Capt. Patrick. It is to be observed that, in 1631, Mr. Jennison was, by the
Court, chosen " Ancient [Ensign] to Capt. Patrick," not for Watertown ; and the
next year, after Capt. Patrick moved temporarily to New Town, Mr. Robert Feake
was chosen " Lieutenant to Capt. Patrick," not for Watertown ; but that after the
passage of the order for distinct companies in Watertown and Charlestown, such
appointments were made for towns specified. It is also to be observed, that, when
that order was passed, Charlestown, Watertown, and New Town, were1 the only
towns then organized, which were soon afterwards embraced in the Middlesex Regi
ment, of which Capt. Patrick was Mustermaster ; for the date of the order is the
same as that of the orders for planting Concord and Dedham. The colonial records
do not, I think, show that any captain was appointed for either Charlestown or New
Town until after the passage of that order; and as military officers were chosen by
the Court, it is presumable that they would be found on record, if any such appoint
ments had been made. It has been already shown that Capt. Patrick was not merely
a trainband captain appointed for Watertown. The first choice of trainband captains,
for either of those three towns, was made Mar. 9, 1636-7, when Mr. Robert Sedg
wick was chosen for Charlestown, Mr. William Jennison for Watertown, and Mr.
George Cooke for New Town. This was about eighteen months after the passage of
the order for distinct companies in Watertown and Charlestown, and only three
months after the order for organizing all the soldiers of the colony into three regi
ments. Perhaps it may be found that the order for distinct companies was not im
mediately carried into effect, and that Patrick continued to command the soldiers of
the three towns, until the Court chose those three captains.
§ 196. After Captain Patrick, the earliest military appointment by the Court of
a Watertown man was Aug. 16, 1631, when "Mr. William Jennison is chosen
Ancient [Ensign] to Captain Patrick." He retained this office until Mar. 1636-7,
when he was chosen Captain of the trainband, and held the office until his return to
England. On the 25th Sept., 1636, soon after information was received of the
murder of Mr. Oldham, the Governor and Council "did send forth ninety men, dis
tributed to four commanders— Capt. John Underhill, Capt. Nathaniel Turner, Ensign
Jennison, and Ensign Davenport"— in order to "do justice upon the Indians for the
murder of Mr. Oldham." [Winthrop, I. p. 192.] George Munnings, of Watertown,
in this expedition, lost one of his eyes.
8 197. The next year (Ap. 18, 1637), when the Court determined that the war
against the Pequots "should be seriously prosecuted," and that one hundred and
sixty men should be drafted out of the several towns in the colony, Watertown was
at first required to furnish fourteen men. May 17th, fifty additional men were
ordered to be drafted, and Capt. Jennison was one of the committee for apportioning
them among the several towns. The quota of Watertown was four men. At the
same time a committee (Capt. Trask, Capt. Jennison, Capt. Turner, Sergt. Richard
Collicot) was "appointed for the present expedition for men, munition, and provi
sions." Also, at the same time, Lieut. Howe was ordered " to go Lieutenant to
Capt. Patrick."

1058 APPENDIX I.
§ f 197. On the 4th of Sept., 1632, Mr. Robert Feake was, by the Court, chosen
" into the place of Lieutenant to Capt. Patrick." He attained no higher rank, and
in March, 1636-7, was superseded by the election of Capt. Jennison. In Sept.,
1634, he was one of the military committee appointed by the Court to select sites
and lay out the works for fortifications at Castle Island, Charlestown, and Dorchester.
About 1639 or '40, he went to Connecticut and was connected with Capt. Patrick in
the purchase of Greenwich. He became impoverished, returned to Watertown, and
died in indigence. When John Stickland was admitted freeman, in May, 1631, he
had the title of Sergeant. Thomas Cakebread had the title of Ensign, and was an
original member (in 1637) of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company, and
in its records has the title of Ensign. Upon the first settlement of Dedham, " an
invitation was sent to Thomas Cakebread, a renowned soldier of Watertown, to come
and be at the head of military affairs." [Haven's Centennial Address, p. 12.] In
Sept., 1642, after the return of Mr. B. Pendleton from Sudbury to Watertown,
"Ensign Cakebread was appointed to lead the company at Sudbury as Ensign."
The records do not show that either Stickland or Cakebread held offices in Water-
town. § 198. It is stated on page 402, that Mr. Bryan Pendleton was a captain in
Watertown, and Farmer says, he was "a captain of the militia;" but no evidence
has been discovered that he held any military office, or title in Watertown. It may
be supposed that he first gained the title by commanding the trainband of Sudbury
during the short time he resided there. But when he was, by the Court, appointed
to that duty (May, 1640), no military title was given to him; and it is not probable
that he held any higher title than his successor. Although his name often occurs
in the town and colonial records, no military title is attached to it until 1657,
several years after he moved from Watertown to Portsmouth. He was a captain
there at first, and afterwards attained the rank of major.
Henry Bright was appointed surveyor of arms in Watertown, and took the oath
of office in July, 1640. In the town records he had sometimes, and, for a long time
bore, the title of sergeant. He appears never to have advanced beyond that title,
and he bore it until 1664, then aged 62, after which he bore the title of Deacon.
John Wincoll was a sergeant in Watertown, and attained no higher title, until he left
the town, about 1662, when he must have been at least 54 years old. After he moved
to Kittery, he was elected captain.
§ 199. In May, 1645, the Court ordered, " that in the entry of Watertown officers,
[Hugh] Mason should be put in instead of [Thomas] Bartlett," who afterwards, and
until his decease, bore the title of Ensign. This appointment of Mason was made
about the time Capt. Jennison returned to England, and Mason probably commanded
the trainband, with the rank of lieutenant, until May 1652, when he attained the
rank of captain. He probably held the office until about the time of his decease
(1678), then aged 73, as no other one attained that rank in the town until that
time. § 200. Richard Beers is first mentioned as a sergeant in 1642, when the Court
appointed him to superintend " the breeding of saltpetre" in Watertown. He at
tained the rank of Lieutenant, soon after Mason was chosen Captain. He bears the
same title in the town records until 1675, and he is never mentioned with the title
of Captain until the record of his death, Sept. 4, 1675, which was more than 38
years after he had been admitted freeman. He was not less than 59 years of age,
and probably considerably older, when he went on that fatal expedition against the
Indians. § 201. John Sherman bore the title of Sergeant until after the decease of Ensign
Thomas Bartlett, in 1654, and after that, bore the title of Ensign until after the
decease of Capt. Beers, when he attained the rank of Lieutenant, and he held this
rank until after the decease of Captain Mason. In the town records, he does not
bear the title of Captain, until 1680, when he was about 67 years old. He seems to

HISTORY OF WATERTOWN. 1059
have retained the office until his decease, in 1691, then aged 76, as no one else held
that title until after that event. He was succeeded in office by William Bond, Esq.,
who had then been a magistrate about five years. He had borne the title of Cor
poral until he was elected magistrate in 1686, when he was about 61 years old. In
1676, the Court appointed him lieutenant of a company of horse, but, as he con
tinued to be honored with the title of corporal for ten years afterwards, probably he
did not accept the appointment. He had the title of Lieutenant in 1689, and when
he attained' the rank of Captain, he was about 67 years old. Thomas Strait bore the
title of Captain at an earlier date, but he probably brought the title with him, and
never held the office in Watertown.
§ 202. From the preceding statement, it seems to have been strictly true that, of
military officers, " few died and none resigned," except with life. A considerable
change, however, took place soon after the decease of Capt. Sherman, and military
titles became more numerous. This appears to have resulted from two causes. In the
first place, rotation of office was more frequent. In the second place, there were
more offices to be filled, there being three military companies in the town. About
1691 or '92, the town was divided into three military precincts. The first was the
precinct of Capt. Bond's Company. The second was the precinct of Lieut. Garfield's
Company — of those belonging to what was sometimes called the middle precinct,
now Waltham. The third was the precinct of Lieut. [Josiah] Jones's Company, of
those who belonged to the Farmers' precinct, now Weston. John Warren bore the
title of Captain about 1691, but of what company the records do not show. The
military titles pertaining to various persons will generally be found in the genea
logies, where they belong. So far as appears in the records, Jonas Bond, Esq., was
the first Watertown man who attained the rank of Major and of Colonel.
§ 203. On the files of the Middlesex Court, is the following certificate or memorial
of soldiers, dated Ap. 15, 1690. Most of them belonged to Watertown. " Being
listed in the service of the country against the French, and ordered down to Charles
town, and being denied quarters elsewhere, the widow Mary Peachee did entertain
us." [Signed] " Nathaniel Barsham, Lft. ; Wm. Davenport, Sergt. ; Samuel Bar
nard, Corporal ; Richard Mellins, John Applin, John Fisk, Peter Mansel, John
Smith, John Swetin, Thomas Stratton, Henry Spring, John Fay, Thomas Willson
(? Woolson), Nathaniel (?) Wod, Solomon Ray, George Stevens (? Stearns), John
Poney [Perry ?], Josiah Jones, Joseph Garfield, James Ball." Upon this certificate,
there was a motion to the Court to renew her license.

CIVIL AFFAIRS AND OFFICERS.
§ 204. After the departure of Sir Richard Saltonstall to England, in 1631, there
was no Assistant or Magistrate, resident of Watertown, for more than fifty years.
All suits were brought before the Court of Assistants, until Mar. 1636, when four
County Courts were ordered to be held every quarter, to try civil actions, where the
" debt or damage did not exceed £10," and " all criminal causes, not concerning
life murder or banishment." Although only the Assistants bore the title of magis
trates yet others were empowered to perform the judicial functions of magistrates.
At County Courts, it was required that not less than one magistrate [Assistant]
should be present, and that not less than five persons should be on the bench; and
for holding these Courts, the General Court appointed " magistrates and other gen
tlemen "  " other persons of worth to be joined as associates to the magistrates." At
the General Court in May, next after passing the order for county courts, the per
sons were appointed for holding them, and Mr. [Robert] Feake, of Watertown, was

1060 ¦ APPENDIX I.
appointed for that to be held at New Town, for the towns of Charlestown, Concord, Med
ford, Watertown, and New Town. The next year Mr. Richard Browne, of Watertown,
received the same appointment, These five towns were the nucleus of the County of
Middlesex. At the same time that Mr. Feake and Mr. Browne, of Watertown, held
appointments as associates in these courts, there were Commissioners for ending
small causes in Watertown, showing that they were not regarded as magistrates.
§ 205. On the 6th of Sept., 1638, the General Court, "for avoiding of the coun
try's charge by bringing small causes to the Court of Assistants," ordered, " that
any magistrate in the town where he dwells, may hear and determine by his discre
tion all causes, wherein the debt or trespass, or damage, &c, doth not exceed 20s. ;
and in such town, where no magistrate dwells, the General Court shalL from time to
time nominate three men, two whereof shall have like power to hear and determine
all such actions under 20 shillings." From their decision there was an appeal to a
Quarter Court, a Court of Assistants. These men were entitled Commissioners —
" Commissioners for ending small causes." They were invested with some of the
functions of justices of the peace, without the title.
§ 206. At that time there were four towns (Watertown, Weymouth, Hingham,
and Newbury), in which no Assistant resided, and for each of which, accordingly,
Commissioners were appointed. Those for Watertown were " Mr. Thomas Mayhew,
Capt. William Jennison, and Mr. Richard Browne." They were reappointed in
June, 1639, and again in June, 1641. In May, 1643, " Mr. Simon Eyre, Capt.
Jennison, and Hugh Mason ; and John Sherman [temporarily] till Capt. Jennison
come." In May, 1645, Mr. Richard Browne, Lieut. [Hugh] Mason, and Ephraim
Child were appointed ; and this appears to be the last time that such Commissioners
were appointed by the General Court, who, in May, 1647, ordered them thereafter to
be appointed by the County Courts; and in the succeeding November ordered them
" to keep a true record of all such causes as shall come before them to be determined."
In 1652, they were authorized to administer oaths in civil cases ; and in 1656, they
were authorized to solemnize marriages. These and other powers were taken from
them the next year.
§ 207. Marriage was for a long time regarded as a civil contract, and performed
only by magistrates, or by persons commissioned by the General Court for that spe
cial service, in towns where no magistrate resided. [See §§ 58 and 59.]
§ 208. The earliest notice in the records of the County Court, of the appointment
of Commissioners for Watertown, is in April, 1650, where are found the following
appointments. The earlier records of this Court are lost. At a town meeting, Ap.
4, 1659, it was ordered, that the Commissioners to end small causes should meet on
the first Monday in May, August, November, and February.
Ap. 2, 1650. Mr. [Richard] Browne, Lieut. [Hugh] Mason, Ephraim Child.
Ap. 1652. Lieut. Mason, John Sherman.
Ap. 1653. Mr. R. Browne, Capt. Mason, John Sherman.
Ap. 1654. Mr. Browne, Capt. Mason, John Sherman.
Ap. 1655. Mr. Browne, Ephraim Child, Michael Barstow.
Ap. 1656. Mr. Browne, Ephraim Child, Michael Barstow.
Ap. 1657. Capt. Mason, Ephraim Child, Michael Barstow.
Ap. 1658. Capt. Mason, Ephraim Child, Michael Barstow.
Ap. 1659. Capt. Blason, Ephraim Child, Michael Barstow.
Ap. 1661. Capt. Mason, Ephraim Child, Michael Barstow.
The 2d volume of the records of the County are lost, and therefore, the names of
the Commissioners of that period have not been obtained.
§ 209. The first magistrate or justice of the peace of Watertown, of whom any
notice has been found, subsequent to the departure of Sir Richard Saltonstall, was
William Bond, who was appointed as early as 1686. He died in Dec. 1695, and was
probably succeeded by Ebenezer Prout. The next magistrate was Jonathan Phillips,
son of Rev. G. Phillips. He died early in 1704. Jonas Bond, youngest son of

HISTORY OF WATERTOWN. 1061
William Bond, Esq., was appointed a justice of the peace and of the County Court
prior to Mar-, 1703, and before the decease of Mr. Jonathan Phillips. He d. in
April, 1727. The next justice was Dea. Joseph Mason, who was appointed previ
ously to May, 1734. He d. in 1755. Nathaniel Harris was appointed before Dec,
1734. He d. in 1761. Jonas Bond, eldest son of Jonas Bond, Esq., was commissioned
by Governor Shirley, Jan. 11 , 1748, when there were two other justices in town. He
d. in 1768. From this period to 1800, there were several justices of the peace,
residents of Watertown. We have the names of several, if not all of them, but
know not the date or duration of their appointments, viz. : Dr. Josiah Converse,
William Hunt, (?) Henry Gardner, (?) Elijah Bond, Jonathan Brown, Josiah Capen,
Dr. Marshall Spring, Amos Bond, Nathaniel R. Whitney.

REPRESENTATIVES OF WATERTOWN.
§ 210. According to the Charter of the Massachusetts Bay Company, there were
to be "four Great and General Courts of the said Company," held upon "every last
Wednesday of Hillary, Easter, Trinity, and Micha[elma]s." The Company, besides
the Governor, consisted of the Assistants and the Freemen ; that is, besides those
named in the Charter, " all such others as shall hereafter be admitted and made free
of the Company and Society." These Courts, so constituted (of Governor, Assistants,
and Freemen) had full power and authority to choose, nominate, appoint, and admit
others "to be free of the said Company;" to elect and constitute officers for ordering,
managing, and despatching the affairs of the Corporation ; " and to make laws and
ordinances for the good and welfare of the said Company." It was also ordered by
the Charter that the authority, office, and power, conferred upon any one by election,
"shall cease and determine" upon the election of a successor.
§ 211. The principles and provisions of this Charter were more liberal than its
administration. Notwithstanding such ample powers, both elective and legislative,
were granted to the freemen, who were very numerous compared with the Governor
and Assistants, they had, for some time, very little influence in the government. One
chief cause of this was probably their great number, occasioning an unwieldiness in
making use of their power and privileges. The Governor and Assistants took ad
vantage of this, and, says Hutchinson, "kept the powers of government, both legis
lative and executive, very much in their hands the first three years. The people
began to grow uneasy, and the number of freemen beiDg greatly multiplied, an
alteration of the constitution seems to have been agreed upon, or fallen into by the
general consent of the towns; for, at a General Court of Elections, in [May], 1634,
twenty-four of the principal inhabitants appeared as the representatives of the body
of freemen, and, before they proceeded to the election of magistrates, the people
asserted their right to a greater share in the government than had hitherto been
allowed them, and resolved, That none but the General Court had power to make
and establish laws, or to elect and appoint officers, as^ governor, deputy-governor,
assistants, treasurer, secretary, captains, lieutenants, ensigns, or any of the like mo
ment or to remove such upon misdeameanor, or to set out tbe duties and powers of
these officers : That none but the General Court hath power to raise monies and taxes,
and to dispose of lands, viz., to give and confirm properties."
§ 212. It is remarkable that the colonial records contain no reference to the origin
or introduction of a House of Deputies into the government. The first notice of them
is that they are there, without asking or being invited. Winthrop, however, throws
some light on the subject, but not a full elucidation, and we are left to conjecture.
[Winthrop I. p. 128.] It is probable that the concert of action among the freemen

1062 APPENDIX I.
of the several towns began with the appointment and the meeting of committees of two
from each of those towns in 1632, "to advise with the Governor and Assistants
about the raising of public stores, so as what they should agree upon should bind
all," &c. Mr. Savage asks, " Why the notice mentioned in the text should be
given ?" It seems probable that this was only the usual notice required by the
Charter to be issued by the Governor, summoning a meeting of the General Court.
On the first of April, 1634, six weeks before that meeting of the General Court, at
which deputies first appear on the record, the freemen, two from each town, deputed
to " meet and consider of such matters as they were to take order in" at the ensuing
General Court, " having met, desired a sight of the patent." This seems to imply
that the Charter had hitherto been kept out of the sight of the freemen, at least so
far that they were not fully acquainted with its provisions. Having seen the Charter,
and having found that it required all the laws to be enacted by the General Court,
they "repaired to the Governor (Winthrop) to advise with him about it." He en
deavored to convince them that they had not " a sufficient number of men qualified
for such a business " as legislation, and to induce them to take such a course as to
leave legislation to the Governor and Assistants. The result was that, soon afterwards,
at the ensuing General Court, Mr. Winthrop, for the first time, failed of being
elected Governor, and the Court passed an order admitting the claims of the deputies
to have " the full power and voices of all the said freemen, * * * for the making
and establishing laws, granting lands, &c, and to deal in all other affairs of the com
monwealth, wherein the freemen have to do, the matter of election of magistrates
and other officers only except, wherein every freeman is to give his own vote."
H®"1 For a view of the influence or agency which Watertown people had in effecting
this change in the government : in checking its aristocratic tendency ; in resisting
taxation without representation ; and establishing a representative republic, see
Winthrop, I. pp. 70, 71, 128, 129; also Richard Browne, p. f 123, and § 147-49.
§ 213. By the General Court, Sept. 8, 1636, "it was ordered, that, hereafter, no
town in the plantation, that hath not 10 freemen in it, shall send any deputy to the
General Court ; those that have above 10 and under 20, not above one ; betwixt 20 and
40, not above two ; and those that have 40, three, if they will, but not above." In Oct.,
1636, it was ordered, that each town pay the charges of their own deputies ; but this
order was reversed the next March, and the order re-established, that their charges
be borne by the country. On 13th March, 1638-9, " it was ordered, that no town
shall send more than two deputies to the General Court." In the course of the next
ten years, the Court made repeated attempts to alter the mode of the election of de
puties, or to lessen their number, all tending to diminish the influence of the freemen
in the government. These attempts were resisted, and the record of the Court for
March, 1647-8, says, "The most of the freemen desiring their former liberty of
sending one or two deputies to the General Courts from time to time, the former
wonted liberty is continued, and the former act, in suspense, is repealed." This
desire of most of the freemen was formally expressed by their vote upon a proposition
submitted to them by the Court.

§ 215. Selectmen of Watertown. [See Sections f 46-48.]
By recurring to the original records (pp. 995, &c), it will be seen that the select
men were not at first designated by that title. They were those " chosen by the
freemen to order the civil affairs of the town." The first time that title was applied
to them was in 1647, at the commencement of the records, after that hiatus in them,
1643 to 1647. The first board (1634) consisted of three members. The next four
(1635, '36, '37, '38) consisted of eleven members; the next three (1639, '40, '41)
of twelve members ; the next two (1642, '43) of nine members. These were chosen
by ihe freemen, and a recurrence to p. 1017 will show that the number of selectmen
was large in proportion to the number of freemen. The number elected in 1647,
when they are first entitled selectmen in the town records, was seven, and this

§ f 215. Constables.
Constables were at first elected by the General Court ; afterwards by the Quarter
Courts, and as early as 1653, and probably earlier, they began to be elected by the
towns. The following were some of the early appointments by the Courts :
Oct. 19, 1630, John Page was chosen Constable of Watertown for one whole year,
and after till a new [one] be chosen.
May 9, 1632, Mr. [William] Clarke was chosen Constable of Watertown. [See
Winthrop, I. p. 74.]
Aug. 5, 1634, Samuel Hosier was chosen Constable. He was constable again in
1650. 1642, Gregory Taylor, Constable, by the Court.
June 4, 1641, John Whitney was chosen Constable by the Quarter Court.

rally of men and money towards the establishment of liberty and independence. It
is left to the historian of Weston to present to the public a full account of her
patriotic services and sacrifices.

SCHOOL-HOUSES, SCHOOLS, AND SCHOOLMASTERS.
§ 219. The earliest mention of a school-house in the town records is Sept. 17,
1649, when a rate was ordered for building one, and, on the 2d of November, John
Sherman was appointed to build it, 22 feet long, 14 feet wide, and 9 feet between
the joists. Dec. 10, 1650, it was ordered to add a turret to the school-house. Jan.
12, 1657-2, an order was passed to pay John Sherman for "work about the turret,"
and to finish the school-house. It is supposed to have been built on Strawberry Hill,
which afterwards bore the name of School-house Hill, and was near John Sherman's
residence. In 1676, there was a charge for repairing it. We find no other mention
of the school-house in the records until 1696, when one condition of Mr. [Edward]
Goddard's consenting to keep school was, that the school-house should be repaired ;
and a committee was appointed to make an estimate, and to report thereon. Feb. 7,
1708-9, voted, to fix [up] the old school-house, if it can be done for 10 or 12s.
Sept. 24, 1711, voted to repair the old school-house, or a part of it, for a watch-house,
according to the Governor's direction. A document, on the files of Mid. Court,
dated Dec. 19, 1664, states that Watertown School-house was robbed of seventeen
Greek and Latin books, by two Indians, one of whom was a servant of Mr. Bisco.
§ 220. At a town meeting, Jan. 31, 1708-9, a committee (B. Garfield and C.
Church) reported that they had received [selected] a place, near Phillips's Fence,
upon the town's land, leading to Whitney's Hill, near the Middle [Mr. Angier's]
Meeting-house, and as near the Causeway, as may be convenient for a school-house.
At the same time, it was voted to build a school-house, within twenty rods of the
meeting-house, 25 feet by 20, and 6J feet between joynts. Oct. 8, 1711, the se
lectmen ordered the " studdey " in the school-house to be completely finished at
the town's cost.
§ 221. The first notice of a schoolmaster in the records is Nov. 7, 1649, when the
selectmen ordered that *David Mechell [Mitchell], of Stamford, Conn., be certified
of the town's desire for him to keep school. Whether he accepted does not appear
from the records. It is not to be certainly inferred from this that there were no
schools before this time. There are no town records extant of the first four years
(1630-34), and those for the next nine years (1634-43) are little more than general
ordinances. The records for the next four years (1643-47) are wanting. A school
might have been kept in private houses and in the meeting-house, as was often done
afterwards. Jan. 6, 1650-1, Richard Norcross was hired for one year for £30, and
was allowed 2s. a head for keeping the dryherd. He is the only schoolmaster men-

tioned until 1675. His salary had continued the same. In 1667, it is stated that
the school was to be free to the inhabitants; others (not inhabitants) to pay as before,
and their pay to go towards his salary of £30.
§ 222. Feb. 23, 1674-5, a committee (Capt. Mason and Simon Stone) was ap
pointed to treat with Mr. [ William] Goddard to keep school, and he was employed
at a salary of £30, to begin Ap. 5, 1675. [See Certificate, p. 287.] Mar. 27, 1677,
agreed with Left. Sherman to keep school, to begin Ap. 9th. From May 1 to
Aug. 31, to keep eight hours in the day; to begin at seven in the morning and not
to break up until five at night, noontime excepted. From Aug. 30 to Oct. 31st, six
hours in the day. In March and April, and the four winter months, to begin at ten
and continue until two.
§ 223. Jan. 7, 1678-9, the selectmen notified Left. Sherman and Mr. Goddard,
giving them one-fourth year notice, that they had chosen another man to keep school,
when their year was out, viz., Richard Norcross, from Ap. 9, 1679. In June, July,
and August, he was to teach only Latin and writing at his own house ; the other
eight months Latin and English scholars at the school-house ; to have £20 out of the
town rates for 1679 (and probably what he could obtain from tuition as before). It
was soon after determined to have the school kept the whole year at the school-house,
and to add £5 to his salary. Ap. 8, 1679, Lieut. Sherman refused to give up the
key of the school-house to those sent to demand it. Dec. 1, 1679, voted that Mr.
Goddard shall have £5 for schooling from April last to April next. Dec. 30, 1679,
the town voted that Lieut. Sherman is to keep school as formerly. It appears that
Lieut. Sherman's was not a grammar school, and the County Court, Dec, 1680,
ordered Watertown to provide a grammar school. A committee was appointed, Ap.
1681, to provide a master to teach Latin and English, and Richard Norcross was
chosen, Aug. 3, 1681, to begin when " the Captain's" [Sherman] time is out next
April. Salary £25, and the benefit of Latin scholars over and above. Mr. Norcross
was again employed in 1682 and 1683. He was t0 ^e Pa^ for scholars not of the
town, and if the [number] be large, the town to have places provided for the boys
in the meeting-house.
§ 224. In 1683, it was agreed that those who dwell on the west side of Stony
Brook (Weston) be freed from school tax of 1683, that they may be the better able
to teach among themselves. Mr. Norcross was employed in 1685 and 1686. Those
that send children to school to pay Sd. a week for each, and all short of £20 the
town to make up to Mr. Norcross. But the town will pay for such children as their
parents are unable to pay for, the selectmen being judges. Nov. 26, 1690, the town
allowed £15 for the schoolmaster's maintenance. About this period repeated com
plaints were made to the County Court of the deficiency of schools in Watertown.
§ 225. Dec. 12, 1690, Nathaniel Stone. [Stone, 19.] was chosen schoolmaster, and the
committee reported, Jan. 9, 1690-1, that he had accepted, twenty persons having
engaged to pay, or see him paid, 50s. a quarter, in addition to the £15 granted by
the town. Nov. 27, 1693, the selectmen made the following agreement with Richard
Norcross : to teach school one year from next Dec. 4th ; to be paid by the parents,
for English, 3d. a week ; for writing, id. a week ; for Latin, 6d . a week ; school to be
kept at his house until Ap. lst; then, upon a month's trial at the school-house, [if]
'there appear [not] a considerable quantity of scholars, then he hath liberty to keep
all the year at his house, and the town to pay him additional £5. But, if he have
none but Latin scholars, then to allow out of his £5 what such Latin scholars' pro
portion cometh to. If he find scholars to increase, to keep school at the school-house
from Ap. 1 to Oct. lst, and the remainder of the year at his own house. Also, to
catechize scholars and all other persons that are sent to him. June, 1696, the select
men applied to Edward Goddard to teach school, to whom he replied, tbat if they
would repair the school-house and give him £20 he would come ; but the town did
not accept the terms, and the town was fined for not having a school.
§ 226. Feb. 15, 1696-7. The town refused to have a grammar school, and ap-

HISTORY OP WATERTOWN. 1071
pointed a committee to estimate the repairs of the school-house. Two of them
reported that it would cost £3 or £4 to finish it well ; the others reported that 30s.
or 40s. would make it suflicient for use at present, and 40s. was granted. Feb. 26,
the town voted money for a school; and, Mar. 29, they voted £10 and certain privi
leges, if Edward Goddard would keep school. Whether he then accepted does not
appear in the records. Aug. 15, 1699, Edward Goddard agreed to keep the grammar
school. May 24, 1700, voted, if Mr. Goddard will keep school the year ensuing,
to grant him the remainder of the £10, granted for keeping school from Aug. 15,
1699, and £10 more for the year ensuing, and the rates from the "parents and
owners of children."
§ 227. June 3, 1700, [Rev.] Mr. Samuel Parris agreed to keep school at his
place of abode till some other is chosen. Sept. 3, 1700, Mr. Norcross was chosen to
keep school for £10, and the usual rates from parents, and they to send one quarter
cord of wood in the winter. At this time Mr. Norcross had been a schoolmaster
forty-nine years, and was seventy-nine years old. Nov. 21, 1700, voted to keep the
school the first and third quarters at the old school-house, and the second and fourth
quarters in the middle of the town, and that the Farmers' Precinct, by paying £20,
be freed from any other school charges this year. Also agreed with Ames Angier
[grad. Harv. Coll., 1701] to keep school from Dec. 8; to have £30 in money, and
those that send children to send one-fourth cord of wood. Mar. 2, 1701-2, agreed
that the grammar school should be kept the second quarter at the house where old
Father Ives formerly lived. Jan. 1, 1702-3, Ames Angier agreed to teach school half
a year and no longer, to begin Jan. 25th. Ap. 23, 1704, Nathaniel Gookin [grad.
Harv. Coll., 1703], agreed to keep school half a year, seven hours a day, for £15.
Ap. 3, 1705, voted £30 for schools : £10 to be equally divided between the farmers
and the westerly inhabitants, if it be improved for schooling ; if not, to be for the use
of the poor. Ap. 13, 1704, engaged Nathaniel Gookin to teach four months. May
10, 1706, the town "desired Rev. Joseph Morse to keep school, and be helpful to the
minister, for £40, and 4c.. per week for all who send their children," which he ac
cepted conditionally. [See p. 374.] Dec. 13, 1706, school to be kept at Joshua
Bigelow's house, west side of Beaver Brook, the next quarter.
§ 228. Jan. 22, 1707-8. Thomas Robie [grad. Harv. Coll., 1708] engaged to
keep school half a year for £15, to begin lst of March, lst qr., seven hours; 2d
qr., eight hours. Jan. 14, 1708-9. Benjamin Shattuck [grad. Harv. Coll., 1709]
engaged to keep school, from Jan. 17th, half a year, for £15. He continued to
teach in 1709, '10, '11, '12, '13, and '14. Nov. 30, 1714. Selectmen voted Urian
Angier to be the schoolmaster, if the town approve, and town accepted, if he ,be
found qualified. Nov. 20, 1714, at a meeting of selectmen, a committee reported
" that they have been with the President of the College, and he informs them they
cannot have any there that will keep school." Mar. 25, 1715. Selectmen agreed to
pay Mr. Robert Ward [grad. Harv. Coll., 1719] £18, if he will keep school half a
year ensuing. He was teacher again in 1716. May 10, 1717. Mr. Ward agrees to
teach for £4, additional salary, and his year began May 11. May 19, 1718. Benj.
Fessenden [grad. Harv. Coll., 1718] treated with to keep school one qr. for £10.
Ap. 6, 1719, Voted £22 for Benj. Fessenden, and in 1720, '21, and '22. July 22,
1722, he was called to the ministry. Dec. 28, 1722. Ordered £12 for Matthew
Livermore [grad. Harv. Coll., 1722], to be schoolmaster. Nov. 2, 1724. Ordered £22
for Matthew Livermore. June 7, 1725. Ordered to pay Mr. L., May 20, 1726,

WATCHES.

§ 229. At a Court of Assistants, Ap. 12, 1631, "it was ordered, that there shall
be a watch of four kept every night at Dorchester, and another of four at Watertown,
the watches to begin at sunset," and " if any person shall shoot off a piece, after the
watch is set, he shall forfeit 40s., or if the Court judge him unable [to pay], then to
be whipped ; the second fault to be punished by the Court as an offence of a higher
nature." It appears, by Winthrop [I., p. 74], that the ordering of the watch be
longed to the Captain in the town wbere he resided, but where there was not a
Captain resident, the duty devolved on the Constable. At the first meeting held by
the General Court, after the introduction of a House of Deputies (May, 1634), it
was " Ordered, that there shall be a watch of two at night kept in every plantation,
till the next General Court." Mar. 9, 1636-7, it was, by the Court, "Ordered,
that the military officers in every town shall provide that watches be duly kept most
fit for common safety, and wards on the Lord's days; and that every person above
the age of eighteen years (except magistrates and elders of churches) shall be com
pellable to this service." At the same time it was ordered that " every town shall
provide a sufficient watch-house before the last of 5th month next, upon pain of £5."
This order, about watches and wards, on the 2d May, 1638, was renewed and con
firmed, for continuance from year to year. In May, 1640, it was ordered that " the
ordinary watches and wards, in time of peace, shall be set by the constables in the
several towns ; but, in times of great danger of an enemy, the military officers shall
take charge thereof." At a town meeting, Ap. 27, 1681, the military watches were
turned into constable's watches, " until God's providence doe discover more eminent
danger ;" the night-watches, by the constables, to begin May lst. The next month,
June 11th, it was agreed that watches cease for the present.
§ 230. The information in the records respecting the watches in Watertown are
very scanty. The meeting-house was sometimes used as the watch-house, which was
also the depository of the ammunition of the town. In 1711, the old school-house,
on School-house Hill, was ordered to be repaired for a watch-bouse.
§ 231. The homestall of John Wetherill was described as " bounded, W., with the
townhouse and the [Pequusset] Common." Whether this was a watch-house, or
what was its use, the records do not show. In the same neighborhood, at an early
date, there was a wolf-pen, with a palisade about it. Perhaps the "town-house"
was for the accommodation of a herdsman, who had the care of the cattle that were
fed in common, on Pequusset Common, and the wolf-pen may have been used for
enclosing the cattle at night against the attack of wolves. Jan. 10, 1647-8, the
town voted " to give John Wetherill the palisade that enclosed the wolf-pen." By
this time much of Pequusset Common had been divided into lots, and perhaps it had
so nearly ceased to be used as a cow-common that the wolf-pen was useless. Soon
after this the cow-pen was provided on the west border of the town. [See Section 156.]

HISTORY OF WATERTOWN. 1073
§ 232. Fairs. By the Court, Sept. 6, 1638, it was "Ordered, that there shall be
two fairs at Watertown, the one on the first Friday of 4th month (June), the other
on the first Friday of 7th month (September)." At a town meeting, Mar. 30, 1639,
it was ordered, that these "two Fairs at Watertown * * * * shall be kept upon the
Trayning-place." Fairs were, at that time, ordered to be held only in Salem, Water-
town, and Dorchester. As there is no further notice of them in the colonial or town
records, they probably soon fell into disuse.

SALARIES, WAGES, VALUATION, &c.
§ 233. A perusal of the copy of the original records of the town, inserted in the
preceding pages [pp. 995, &c], will show that there are very few notices of salaries
or wages in them,-^no mention of the Pastors' salaries until Dec, 1642, when the
salary of Mr. Phillips was £67 13 4, and that of Mr. Knowles £40. The second
levy, made by the Governor and Assistants, Nov. 1630, upon the several towns about
the Bay (exclusive of Dorchester) was £60, for the two ministers, Mr. Phillips and
Mr. Wilson, one-half of which was for Mr. Phillips. This was probably for half a
year. There are numerous penalties specified in the records for trespasses and viola
tions of orders, and, in a few instances, fees or compensation for services. In 1638,
the reward for killing a wolf was 5s.; in 1648, Is. for killing a fox; and, in 1668,
for killing blackbirds, 3d. per dozen. In 1640, the fee for executing a town order
was Is. ; and id. upon the acre was allowed to the town surveyor " for surveying,
plotting, and staking the lots upon the two plains, and the remote meadows." [See
Sections 91-99.] The next mention of the Pastors' salaries was Jan. 33, 1647-8,
when £120 was granted to Pastor Knowles"' and Pastor Sherman. This was very
soon after the return of Mr. Sherman from Milford, and probably this sum was
equally divided between them. This seems to have been the sum granted to the
ministers for several years, and after the departure of Mr. Knowles,. the whole sum
was granted annually to Mr. Sherman. The "rate for the ministry" was usually a
larger sum, as there might be some failures of payment, and the expenses of making
and collecting it. In 1659 and 1660, £150 was allowed Mr. Sherman, and the next
year the "ministers' rate" was the same sum, and in 1661 it was £160. From this
date, until his decease in 1685, his salary was £140. This was a very liberal sup-
port for that day; but Mather says he had twenty-one children. After the settle
ment of Mr. John Bailey and his brother Thomas, the same sum was divided be
tween them, viz., £80 to John and £60 to Thomas, with allowance for houseroom
and firewood. After the organization of the two churches, and the settlement of Mr.
Angier and Mr. Gibbs, £168 was annually divided equally between them, and after the
settlement of Mr. Warham Williams and Mr. Storer, they each received the same sala
ries. It was the usual custom to allow the minister firewood in addition to his salary.
Sometimes this was deducted from the salary, and sometimes the minister was
required to take a large part of his salary in provisions, " town pay," at the rates fixed
by the town prizer, or at the Court price. The first time that the term salary occurs
in the records was in 1680, and then Mr. Sherman was to have one-fifth Q) of it in
money. In 1687 the prices of "towns pay" for paying rates was, rye, 4s.; Indian
corn, 3s.; and oats, 2s. In Jan., 1691-2, the prices were, rye and barley, 4s.; In
dian corn, 3s.; and oats, 2s. In Feb., 1692-3, rye, 5s., barley, and barley malt, and
Indian corn, 4s., — 2s. in money to be taken as 3s. in grain. In 1697, oak wood was
7s., and walnut 8s., per cord. In repairing or rebuilding the mill-bridge, in 1706,
carpenters, working in the water, were allowed 3s. per day, laborers on the land, 2s.
M., and teams 5s. per day.
§ 234. The earliest mention of the pay of a schoolmaster was Jan. 6, 1650-1,
when £30 was voted for Mr. Richard Norcross; and this continued to be the salary,
with little variation, except as to manner of paying it, for about seventy-five
years with a few exceptions, about 1715 or '20, when it was £36. In some cases
68

APPENDIX I.

tuition was to be paid for certain studies and certain scholars; and whatever was ob
tained in this manner was deducted from the sum the master was to receive from
the town.
§ 235. On page 999 may be seen the valuation which was fixed, in 1642, upon
the several kinds of lands and cattle for the purpose of taxation. In 1648, broken-
up land was rated at 20s. ; very bad [broken-up land], 15s. ; unbroken, 10s. ; meadow,
20s. It is remarkable that, in no appraisal or valuation for the purpose of assess
ments, do we find any mention of marsh lands, although, according to inventories,
they were deemed to be from three to fivefold more valuable than any other lands.
The following are the "invoices" of the town, at several dates, for the purpose of
making assessments, with the number of " heads " (taxable persons) :
Aug. 30, 1658, £7298, ,
Sept. 0, 1664, 7572, ,
Aug. 31, 1669, 6505, .
Sept., 1678, 6691, .
§ 236. In a levy of a tax of £30,000 upon the colony, in Nov. 1693 (after the
union of the colonies of Plymouth and Massachusetts Bay), the share of Watertown
was £224 16 6, being about l-120th part of it. In Mar., 1694-5, a tax of id. in the
pound was levied for building the new meeting-house, and amounted to £320 4s.,
which shows the total valuation or invoice to have been £19,212. This was little
more than a year after the preceding levy upon the whole colony, and it shows the whole
taxable property in the colony (of Plymouth and Massachusetts Bay) to have been at
that time about £2,305,500.

PHYSICIANS.
§ 237. The information respecting the physicians of Watertown in early times,
during the first hundred years, is very scanty, and their number very few. We have
not discovered that any of the pastors of Watertown practised the healing art, which
was not unusual in early times. James Sherman, of Sudbury, son of Rev. John
Sherman, of Watertown, was a pastor and a physician, and two of his sons, John
and Thomas, were physicians, and were said to be some time of Watertown; but in
1708 they resided in Springfield.
The earliest notice of any medical practice was Mar., 1630-1, when " Nicholas
Knapp was (by the Court) fined £5, for taking upon him to cure the scurvy by a
water of no value, which he sold at a very dear rate." Probably his only medical
education had been, like that of his numerous followers, to study the credulity of
human nature, and how he might most successfully dupe it. Mr. Simon Eire, " chi-
rurgeon," was the first physician of Watertown, where he resided about 10 years —
1635 to 1645 — when he moved to Boston. As there is no evidence that there was
any other physician resident of Watertown for many years afterwards, it is not im
probable that he sometimes visited it professionally, as he retained his estate there.
But if there were no physicians, their place was supplied by some of the goodwivea.
Grace, wife of John Livermore, was an obstetrician, and she was sometimes sum
moned to Court, as a witness in cases, where she had acted professionally. In the
County Court files is a petition of the Selectmen of Watertown, dated 1690, in
which they say that S. G. came from Cambridge to Watertown "to the house of
Ellis Barron, whose wife had skill in matters of surgery." The next physician after
Dr. Eire was Dr. Philip Shattuck, who probably practised there from about 1670
to 1722. He resided in the northeast part of Waltham. Dr. Palgrave Wellington
was his cotemporary, being only five years younger than Dr. Shattuck. He resided
on the Cambridge Road, on or near the lots of G. Church and W. Woolcot. He d.
1715. Dr. Richard Hooper was a cotemporary of Doctors Shattuck and Wellington,
and resided at the east of Mount Auburn. He died early in 1690. His son Henry

HISTORY OP WATERTOWN. 1075
was a physician of Watertown a few years, and about 1723 he moved to Newport,
R. 1. Dr. Josiah Converse, from Woburn, settled in Watertown, probably about
the time of the decease of Dr. Shattuck, and the removal of Dr. H. Hooper. We
have not ascertained where he resided, but perhaps it was the residence afterwards
occupied by his nephew, pupil, legatee, and executor, Dr. Marshall Spring. He died
m V A%y?T a residence of probably nearly 50 years. See Spring [60], p. 444, and

LAWYERS. •
§ 238. There was no lawyer, resident of Watertown, for the first 120 or 130
years after its settlement, and our information respecting those of later times is too
scanty to be inserted here, if we were attempting a history of such times.

INNKEEPERS AND LICENSED RETAILERS AND TRADERS.
§ 239. Innkeepers were licensed by the General Court or Courts of Assistants
until the organization of County Courts, and they were sometimes appointed or
nominated by the selectmen. The following list is undoubtedly defective. The
locality of many inns in the following list has not been ascertained.
Sept., 1635. The Court licensed John Masters to keep an ordinary, and he was
discharged, June 4, 1639, a few months before he died. He had probably moved
to Cambridge previous to the date of his license, but the record does not show it.
June 6, 1637. By the Court, George "Munnings is fined 20s. for selling beer and
keeping a house of entertainment without license." This was about six months after
he returned from the expedition to Block Island with the loss of an eye. The next
November, "Munnings, of Watertown, is (by the Court) put down from keeping an
ordinary, or house of entertainment; and it is referred to Watertown to choose
another." [See p. 859.]
Mar. 12, 1637-8. John Loveran [Loverill in the Court Record] is, by the Court,
"allowed to sell wine and strong water" at Watertown. His homestall was a little
distance east of the Bridge, extending from Mount Auburn Street to the river.
June 1, 1641. William Knapp, for selling beer two years unlicensed, was fined £5.
He resided on the S. side of Belmont Street, W. of the graveyard.
Nov. 4, 1646. "Mrs. Margaret Howe [wid. of Edward] and Nathaniel Treadway
[her son-in-law] are granted liberty to draw two butts of wine, which they received
for debt, and cannot put off in the butts." [See the Map.]
Nov. 2, 1649. Thomas Wincoll was, by the selectmen, allowed to keep a house of
entertainment. Oct. 1654. Lieut. Richard Beers, upon the recommendation of several freemen of
Watertown, was licensed by the County Court to keep an ordinary. His license
was repeatedly renewed, and probably continued until his decease in 1675. His
homestall, in 1644, bordered on the S. W. shore of Fresh Pond. Previous to 1644,
he had purchased another homestsfll on the south side of Mount Auburn Street, not
far west of the old graveyard.
ifCr The County Court Records, from Oct., 1663, to Ap., 1681, are lost, or wfire
not discoverable at the time our researches were made, and it has not been ascef-"
tained what licenses were granted during that time.
Jofllb Nevinson, licensed, in 1685, to keep an ordinary, and until his decease, Jan.,
1695. He was succeeded by his son-in-law, Samuel Hastings, for a short time. Mr.
Nevinson's widow, after the decease of her second husband, with whom she lived only
a few months, obtained a license in 1698, and continued to keep an ordinary "until
1717; probably in the neighborhood of Mount Auburn.
Caleb Church, licensed in 1686, and until 1711 ; resided on the N. side of Maine
Street. He sold the land, Ap. 23, 1712, to Thomas Learned. See Learned, below

1076 APPENDIX I.

was on the lot where the Spring Hotel has been built. He was succeeded by his
widow, Mary, who kept it until 1764 ; then kept two years by her son, Abijah
Learned; then by Benjamin Prentice, 1767-69; then by her son, Bezaleel Learned,
in 1770-71. See C. Church, above.
Thomas Coolidge [107.], licensed, 1713, until 1737, when he was succeeded, for a
few years, by his widow, Mary, who was, in 1744, succeeded by her son, David
Coolidge, who continued the business until 1755 ; supposed to be where W. F. Gay
now resides.

innkeepers previous to the end of the last century ; but the list obtained is too defec
tive to be inserted here. See Baldwin, Brewer, Woodburne, Gleason, Townsend.

APPENDIX IV.

ILLUSTRATIONS OP THE MAP OF THE EARLY TOPOGRAPHY
OP WATERTOWN (PROPER).
In Sections o4 and 85, pp. 1020 and 21, are pointed out some of the difficulties to
be encountered in attempting a plan or map of the original divisions and allotments
of land. These were by no means exaggerated. But, having discovered that we
had fallen into one or more important errors, regarding early localities, through the
hastiness of our conclusions from inadequate premises, we were induced to enter upon
a more thorough investigation in order to rectify them, but without the expectation
of succeeding so well, or proceeding so far, that the result could be offered in the
form of a map of ancient Watertown. The success of the intricate and perplexing
labor having far exceeded our expectation, the result of these researches is here pre
sented in a map, with some explanations.
As no record of that period gives the dimensions of a lot, but only the quantity of
land, and that "by estimation," not by measurement, all that is attempted in the
map, is, to show the size of the lots, and their relations to each other, to roads, and
to the natural boundaries. It is evident that the estimation of the quantity of land
in each lot was not always accurate, as, in many instances, the same lot, in different
descriptions or records of it, is stated to contain different quantities of land. If their
exact, outlines could be discovered, they would probably exhibit very many discre
pancies between them and those on this map. This is, however, of comparatively
small importance, if their size and position are determined. That such is the case,
generally, with few and unimportant exceptions, we are entirely satisfied.
In the course of the following explanations, the term grant is applied to lots where
the title was derived directly from the town, not by purchase, and the holder was
the first individual owner. The term possession is applied to lots obtained by grant,
purchase, gift, or inheritance, and the holder of it was not always the first owner. In
the early schedules there is only one instance of a lot purchased of the town, and that
was the 47 A. lot purchased by Mr. Nathaniel Biscoe, the rich tanner. In later
times, there are many instances of such purchases.
It may be seen, in the copy of the original records, p. 995, &c, that there is fre
quent mention of general enclosures, and fencing in common. The same may be
seen in the succeeding town records, and it was many years before they were discon
tinued. The first mention of general enclosures occurs very early (Jan. 3, 1634-5),
and it was afterwards (May 30, 1643) ordered, that "a fence with 4 rails, or any
fence as good, is counted sufficient." They generally "had distinct names, and each
was surrounded with roads, or some natural boundary.
Pond Field was bounded E. by Fresh Pond; W. by School Street; S. by Belmont
Street; and N. probably by the Road to the Pond.
Meadfield was bounded S. by Belmont St. ; E. by Common St. (Pequusset Road);
W. by Lexington St. (road to Concord). It was probably so named because it in
cluded Pequusset Meachow.

HISTORY OF WATERTOWN. 1083
Bowman's Field was bounded N. by Belmont St.; S. W. by Orchard St., and E.
by Bowman's Lane. These names indicate the respect entertained for Mr. Bowman.
Jennison's Close, or Field, was bounded W. by Bowman's Lane ; N. by Belmont
St. ; E. by School St. ; S. by Mill St. (Mount Auburn St.). Capt. Jennison's home-
stall was much larger than any other in this tract.
How's Field was bounded S. by Sudbury Road (Main St.); W. by Lexington St.;
N. by Orchard St., and E. by Bowman's Lane and Mill St. (Mount Auburn St.).
Elder Edward How was the largest proprietor in this tract. It included the east
range of lots in the Town Plot.
Pound Field was bounded N. by Mill St. (Mount Auburn St.); S. and W. by
Bank Lane ; E. by Grove St. The town pound was anciently in it, near the N. E.
corner. About 1687, the pound was at the S. E. corner of Lexington and Belmont
Streets. The Hither Plain [see § 91], for several years, had a general enclosure, and the
cartway betwixt lots [Pleasant St.] was not a fenced road. It is, indeed, highly pro
bable that few, if any of the lots, in the Hither and Further Plains, were ever fenced
according to the original allotments. Early and frequent changes of ownership oc
curred, before the lots began to have distinct fences, and two or more lots were often
consolidated into one.
There is some obscurity about the arrangement of lots in Dorchester Field, and
the delineation of them is not entirely satisfactory. It probably had no precise
boundaries. The following lots, in the schedule of grants, are described as " in Dor
chester Field," viz., E. Child, 10 A.; J. Loveran, 8 A.; W. Jennison, 6 A.; 'John
Bernard, 6 A. ; R. Tucke, 2 A. At a later date, the large homestall of John Ben
jamin was said to be in Dorchester Field.
There is a small tract of land between Dorchester Field and the homestall of
Nathaniel Foote, which it has been found very difficult to delineate, according to the
lines or divisions of the original grants, owing to the repeated changes of ownership,
and the defective descriptions of boundaries. Jeremiah Norcross was not a grantee;
but, in 1643, he owned a homestall of 26 A. in that locality, made up of land bought
of John Page, Robert Tucke, Richard Amler, and Jacob Logan (? Seger). This
land of Mr. Norcross included the 14 A. homestall granted to Edmund Mason, and
the 7 A. homestall granted to Robert Tucke. It is conjectured that Page and Am
ler bought the land of Mason, and sold it to Norcross, and that Seger had a 5 A. lot,
obtained by grant or purchase, which he sold to Norcross, and which would complete
the 26 A. homestall. Not long afterwards, Mr. Norcross purchased of H. Cuttris
the 16 A. homestall granted to N. Foote.
There are a few instances, in the schedules of grants, where the same lot appears
to have been granted to two persons. In these cases it is probable that the first
grantee relinquished it to the town, exchanging it for another, or perhaps failed to
comply with the terms of the grant. One instance of this is the lot north side of
Belmont Street, next east of R. Holden. It was granted to Edmund Sherman (who
left Watertown in 1637) and to Bryan Pendleton. From the latter it passed suc
cessively to N. Busby, John Stebbins, J. White, J. Coolidge, and Rev. John Sher
man, who purchased the lots of J. and R. Holden.
We have not attempted to delineate all the lots of marsh land. In most instances,
they are described as bounded S. or S. E. by the river, and N. or N. W. by Bank
Lane with the omission of the boundaries on the other two sides. As these lots
were not residences, it is the less interesting to determine their outlines and locali
ties. There were 21 lots of marsh granted, amounting to 62£ acres. The largest
lot (10 A.) was that of Dea. Ephraim Child, bounded S. E. by the river, and N. W.
by Bank Lane. It was probably opposite to his first residence, situated at the south
west corner of Water Street and Bank Lane. Two lots of marsh were granted to
Elder Richard Brown. The first (3 A.), which he sold early to Simon Stone, was
opposite to his first homestall, E. of Mount Auburn, which he sold to R. Wellington.

1084

APPENDIX IV.

There were three 2 A. lots of marsh between the homestall of Nathaniel Foote
and the river. The easternmost was that granted to N. Foote. The next was that
of John Smith. The other was the second lot granted to R. Browne. Pine Marsh
was the first marsh at the E. or S. E. of Dorchester Field. Three 2 A. lots in it
were granted to Robert Lockwood, Nicholas Knapp, and Thomas Rogers* Several
of the marsh lots may be seen delineated on the map.
It has been stated in § 81, that Pequusset Meadow was divided into numerous
small lots. They were situated in a range, beginning at John Flemming' s homestall,
and extending north to Pequusset Common, in the following order. Those marked
(*) denote an original grantee. *j. Doggett, 2 A., sold to John Flemming; J. Bisco,
3 A.; *J. Lawrence, 2 A.; *W. Hammond, 3 A.; *H. Goldstone, 2 A., passed to
his son-in-law, Henry Bright, Jr. ; *N. Bowman, 2 A. ; *Isaac Cummings, 2 A.,
sold to Henry Kemball, Jr.; T. Boyden, 3 A. ; *E. James, 3 A. ; *I. Sterne, 2 A. ;
*J. Warren, 3 A.; *J. Simson, 2 A., passed to Gr. Parkhurst, who ni. his wid., and
who sold it to W. Hammond; *H. Bright, Jr., 2 A., sold to W. Hammond; N.
Busby, 4 A. ; S. Freeman ; S. Eire.
By referring to § 27, it will be seen that some locality or region, at the east of
Mount Auburn, at a very early day, was called " The Town." Whether this was
applied to some point, or what was its extent, the records do not show, and we are
left to conjecture. The tract of land at the east, north, and south of Mount Auburn,
was undoubtedly the one where the plantation was begun in the summer of 1630,
and it is conjectured that the lot, marked Gr. Phillips on the map, at the junction of
Cambridge and Water Streets, was the centre, and the point from which distances
were reckoned. Sir Richard Saltonstall's homestall was bounded N. W. by land of
Mr. Phillips, and it is supposed that Mr. Phillips's lot extended northwestwardly to
the junction of Cambridge and Water Streets; that after "the new meeting-house"
was built near the Old Graveyard, Mr. Phillips sold two parcels of the lot to Mr. E.
Angier and H. Pelhain, Esq. It appears by the schedules of possessions, that the
lots of Pelham and Angier were purchases and not grants, and that in the list of Mr.
Phillips's grants and possessions (in the same schedule, made out a short time be
fore his decease), he had no lot bounded S. E. by land of Sir Richard. It was not
, unusual for lots to be described by their original or early boundaries, after the ad
joining lands had changed owners; and thus Sir Richard's lot, after it had passed to
his son Samuel, was described as bounded N. W. by G. Phillips.- It is our conjec
ture (supported by plausible reasons, but without positive data), that the first house
of worship was built on that lot, at the junction of Cambridge and Water Streets,
on the map marked G. Phillips; and that if any burials took place before the opening
or appropriation of the Old Graveyard, they would be in that lot or its immediate
neighborhood. By consulting the map, it will be seen that a great portion of the lots, east of
Mount Auburn, were not held by grantees, but by purchasers, and at the time the
schedules were made out (about 1643) many of those grantees, whose names are
marked on the lots, had sold them, and moved to other larger lots, situated farther
west, or had migrated from the town. R. Seeley, J. Livermore, R. Feake, A. Ward,
R. Abbot, and B. Windes, had moved to Connecticut; A. Shaw to Dedham; Mr.
Phillips, R. Browne, A. Browne, J. Firmin, J. Warren, E. Child, I. Sterne, W.
Hammond, and J. Lawrence, had moved to other lots, which may be seen on the
map. From the situation of the homestall lot of Leonard Chester, and the time of
his arrival, it is presumed that it was not a grant, but a purchase; and it may have
been the grant made either to John Masters or Capt. Patrick, who moved to Cam
bridge about the time of Mr. Chester's arrival. It will be seen on the map that the
lot, marked as a grant to John Hayward, contained 24 acres. This is so much
larger than any other grant made in that region, that it seems to require some ex
planation. Our presumption is that a part of the 24 A. was granted to him; that
he purchased one or two other contiguous lots, which had been granted to those who

HISTORY OF WATERTOWN. 1085
left the town early, and that then, in the schedules, as in the case of J. Norcross,
the whole was inserted as one- lot. On the map may be seen two lots, on Bank
Lane, near Water Street, marked Edward Goffe, who was a purchaser and not
a grantee. These were undoubtedly grants to some of the planters of 1630, and
it is not unlikely that one of them was made to W. Jennison ; for his large 50
A. homestall was among lots granted at a later date than the time of his settlement.
The lots east of Mount Auburn are sometimes styled Planting Land, and there is
reason to believe that all the lands in this region, fit for planting, were granted the
first year. There were two or more lots granted at a later date, as those of Simon
Stone and R. Wellington ; but these were among the rough grounds of Mount Auburn,
and were unsuited to planting or tillage.
The tradition is, that Mr. George Phillips resided in a house opposite to the Old
Graveyard, very near the " new meeting-house," and this is so probable and plausible,
that his supposed dwelling is marked on the map. Yet there is good reason to
question its correctness.
Mr. Phillips's homestall in the Town Plot, at the corner of Orchard and Lexington
Streets, was the first in the list of his possessions; in that schedule of grants, which
was completed a short time before his decease. In other instances, almost without
exception, a man's homestall, where he resided, is placed first in the list of his pos
sessions. It is also to be observed that, if he lived on this lot, he was the next
neighbor of his co-pastor, Mr. Knowles, whose homestall was on the other side of
Orchard. Street, and it was only half a mile north of Mr. Carter's residence. There
is no doubt but that the widow of Mr. Phillips, and his son Jonathan, lived on this
lot. In the Inventory of Jonathan, 1704, is, $ the dwelling-house that was his
father Phillips. If Mr. Phillips moved to this lot, he only complied with the
terms, on which it was granted, that he should " build and dwell upon it." In the
next place, the lot of Mr. Phillips, upon the Meeting-house Common, is the last in
the list of his grants, and it is not called a homestall, but only " fifteen acres of
.upland." The 12 A. homestall of Thomas Mayhew, may be seen on the map, near the
bridge. May 6, 1654, he sold this (then called his orchard, containing 9 A., and
occupied by John Bush), to Nicholas Davison, of Charlestown, for all his (D.'s)
sheep, cattle, and land in Martha's Vineyard, except the land (1000 A.) which he
received of Mayhew for the Oldham Farm. Nov. 3, 1655, Davison sold this May
hew homestall to John Fuller, of Cambridge, for £44. Fuller sold it to Richard
Sanger, May 15, 1657, for £46. From Richard Sanger, it passed to his son John ;
then to his grandson David ; then to his great grandson William ; then to his gr. gr.
grandson Richard, who now occupies a part of it. A part of it was formerly the
residence of Rev. Dr. Francis, and a part of it is now the residence of Dr. Hiram
Hosmer. Mr. John Oldham left Watertown and died before any schedule of grants or pos
sessions was made out, and his name is not found in them. It is very probable that
the 60 A. homestall, bought by John Benjamin, was his residence. [See p. 1037.]
The Wear is supposed to have been opposite to this lot.
Richard and Abraham Browne settled on adjoining lots on Bank Lane, east of
Mount Auburn, but they both moved very early to other lots, as may be seen on
the map. Richard very early sold his first homestall to R. Wellington, and his ad-
ioinins marsh to Simon Stone; John Train bought his last homestall. Abraham
Browne retained his first homestall and adjoining marsh, until after the summary
of possessions was made out.
In the Inventory of Abraham Browne [p. fl25], his homestead was reported to
contain 60 A. Unless there was a mistake in the estimate of the quantity of his
land in the early schedule, his homestead, in this Inventory (besides the 40 A. be
tween Main St. and Pleasant St.), must have included the 10 A. on the S. side of
Pleasant St., granted to him and to John Browne, and 10 additional acres contigu-

1086 APPENDIX IV.
ous thereto ; for the additional 20 A. to the ancient homestall, could be obtained in
no other direction [see § 94]. That a part of the estate was on the S. side of Plea
sant St., is shown by the following mortgage. Whether this was the grant made to
John Browne, has not been ascertained. Ap. 13, 1697 [soon after the settle
ment of the estate], Abraham Browne mortgaged to Caleb Church, 6 A. adjoining
Dirty Green, bounded E. by C. Church (the owner of Dirty Green) ; N. by high
way to Beaver Plain ; W. by Abraham Browne; S. by Charles River. This lot of
A. B. soon passed to Edward Goddard; for, on the 22 Mar. 1705-6, Caleb Church
mortgaged "12 acres of pasture, called Dirty Green," bounded S. and E. by the
river; W. by Edward Goddard; N. by highway (Pleasant St.). It has not been
ascertained how this place acquired the name of Dirty Green, and Dirty Place.
Upon the final settlement of the estate in 1694 [see p. fl25], Capt. Abraham
Browne, in behalf of himself and other heirs of his father, Jonathan, bought of the
other heirs their rights in the estate. The records do not show how the estate was
divided among the heirs of Jonathan, after this purchase; but some information, not
very exact, is derived from succeeding transactions. The western part was assigned
to Abraham, the eldest son, and ex'r of Jonathan. He built upon it, and it has
never ceased to be owned by his descendants. The eastern and larger portion, was
assigned to the widow, Mary, and the younger sons. A large part of this, soon
passed out of the possession of the family, but was recovered after the lapse of about
28 years, and held in the family until about 1808.
Mar. 30, 1703, wid. Mary, and her sons, William and Benjamin, for £192, sold
to Samuel Barnard 25 A., bounded N. by Sudbury Road, and land of Mary Browne ;
W. by Mary Browne, and partly by land of Serjt. John Fiske. By this deed, it
appears that she retained some of the land assigned to her and her younger sons,
and a subsequent deed shows its amount. Mar. 13, 1705-6, William and Benjamin
B., sold to their brother Abraham, 9J- A., bounded N. by Sudbury Road; W. by
land of Abraham Browne ; E. and S. by Samuel Barnard. On the same day,
Abraham signed to his brothers William and Benjamin, a quitclaim of his right in
the land which they had sold to Barnard. By a deed dated Dec. 23, 1715, Capt.
Abraham Browne conveyed to his son Jonathan, 14 A. " in easterly part of my
estate," bounded E. by Samuel Barnard ; S. by S. Barnard and John Fiske ; N. by
highway; W. by Abraham Browne. Mar. 18, 1730-1, James Nutting, of Wren
tham, gunsmith, and Mercy, his wife, and Esther Barnard, spinster (both daughters
of Samuel Barnard), for £450, sold to John Browne (youngest son of Capt. Abraham),
house, barn, shop, and 24 A. land, bounded N. by highway ; W. by Jonathan and
Samuel Browne, who held, by deed and legacy, that western portion, which their
father obtained by settlement and purchase. The next day, Mar. 19, John Browne
sold to his brother Jonathan, the same property for the same sum, subject to a mort
gage of £220, to Jonathan Nutting, of Wrentham. After this mortgage was paid
off (as it was done), the ancient homestead was again vested in the Browne family.
Jonathan Browne (eldest son of Capt. Abraham), in the lifetime of his father,
lived in the ancient mansion, bequeathed to him by the Will of his father, situated on
the N. side of Sudbury Road, nearly opposite to the house of his father. There is
little doubt but that he lived in that house, until after the removal of his brother
Samuel to Leicester, so that all his children were born in it ; and it is very probable
that it was his permanent residence. If he moved into the house, built and occu
pied by his father, he could have resided in it only a short time, as not long after
the removal of his brother Samuel, who inherited and occupied the house, it was, by
his son, Jonathan, Jr., mortgaged, Jan. 12, 1747, to Capt. Thomas Homans, who
occupied it for a few years. This ancient house, on the N. side of Sudbury Road,
without much doubt, was built and occupied by the first Nathan Fiske, of Water-
town, on that lot in the Town Plot, which he bought of Robert Feake. From him
it passed to his son, Serjt. John Fiske, who was living in it as late as 1703. How
or when it came into the possession of Capt. Abraham Browne, has not been ascer-

HISTORY OF WATERTOWN. 1087
tained. From Jonathan, Senior, it passed to Col. William Bond, who married his
youngest daughter, and who also owned that part of the ancient Browne home-
stall, which was also bequeathed by Capt. Abraham to his son Jonathan. The
western part of it, with the house built by Capt. Abraham B., was occupied by
Jonathan, Jr., Esq., from whom it passed to his son, Major Adam Browne.
The 28 A. homestall of Henry Goldstone passed to his son-in-law, Dea. Henry
Bright; then to his eldest son, Dea. John Bright, who died without issue, and it
passed to his second son, Nathaniel Bright; then to his son, Cornet Henry Bright;
then to his son-in-law, Isaac Sanderson ; and Dec. 12, 1777, it was divided to his
sons, Josiah and Henry Sanderson.
The 14 A. homestall, granted to Thomas Bartlett, and where he always resided,
passed to his son-in-law, John Applin. Previous to Ap. 1683, Applin had sold to
Henry Spring the eastern part, 6| A. of it, and on June 8, 1697, Spring sold this
to Jonas Bond. Ap. 3, 1683, Applin sold to John Dix the west part of it, then
called 10 acres. Jan. 12, 1719-20, John Dix sold half an acre of this to Jonas
Bond, Sen. ; and July 5, 1732, John Dix, of Watertown, and Samuel Dix, of Wor
cester, sold the remainder of it, with mansion house, barn, and orchard, then called
8 A., to Jonas Bond, Jr., for £250, current money. This Bartlett lot, with other
lands on the north, was the homestead of Jonas Bond, Jr., Esq. The dwelling-
house stood where Mr. Cushing has built his farm-house. Sept. 8, 1695, Jonas
Bond bought of William Bull and wife Elizabeth, 8 A. [the grant to Thomas
Smith, which he sold to William Perry in 1651], " near the hill called and known
by the name of Pigsgosuck, and is bounded east by Dea. Sanderson ; west by the
highway called Pigsgosuck highway [Common St.] ; north by lands of Ellis Bar
ron and John Chinery ; south by land of Joseph Hastings." This land of Joseph
Hastings, was the Benjamin Crispe lot. June 17, 1717, Jonas Bond, Sen., bought
of Timothy Barron and wife Rachel, 12 A. adjoining the last purchase, and situated
partly on the W. side of Common Street. A short time before this, Barron had
purchased this land, or a part of it, of his father, Ellis Barron.
The lot of Dea. Thomas Hastings, on the west side of School St., was always his
residence. He added to it by purchase the lot of H. Bright, Sen. This home
stead, then 20 A., passed to his youngest son, Samuel. Mar. 15, 1727-8, his son
Daniel (? David) for £300, bills of credit, sold f of it to a committee of the town,
for a ministerial lot, for the accommodation of Rev. S. Storer. The next month
(Ap. 1), Joseph Coolidge, of Cambridge, guardian of Nathaniel, the youngest son
of Samuel, sold the other 3d of it to said committee. Oct. 18, 1755, a committee
of the town sold this lot to Samuel Mason, housewright, of Newton, for £288,_ law
ful money. This was the next year after building the meeting-house, at the junc
tion of Bowman's Lane and Belmont St. The town bought the lot (§ A.), for this
meeting-house, of Nathaniel Harris, Esq., Jan. 29, 1754.
John Fiske bought the W. end (6 A.) of the Henry Dow lot, next south of Dea.
T. Hastings, and this was his first homestall, which he sold, Mar. 15, 1648-9, to
Charles Stearns.
Oct. 18, 1755, a committee of the town sold to Ebenezer Stone, " If A., formerly
used as a training-field, bounded N. W. by Stone (the purchaser) ; S. by road [Bel
mont St.] ; W. by David Coolidge ; E. by lane [Grove St.], leading to Mrs. John
Coolidge's house." It was on the training-place that the Fairs were ordered to be
held, in 1639.
The lands of Elder Edward How [see map], obtained by repeated grants and pur
chase, passed to his son-in-law Nathaniel Treadway. Nov. 14, 1688, N. Treadway,
for £140, sold this land (70 A.) and house, to his son Josiah. Oct. 13, 1699,
Josiah Treadway and wife Dorothy, then of Charlestown, for £120, sold the western
half of this land (35 A.) to Samuel Parris. Mar. 3, 1703, Parris sold it to Nathaniel
Hobart, of Hingham. Hobart sold it to Daniel Stowall, who conveyed it back to
Hobart' Feb. 6, 1707-8, and on the 12 Jan. 1709-10, Hobart sold it to Robert

1088

AJfJ. J__JN DIX IV.

Goddard for £230, then called 34 acres. It was then bounded S. by highway
[Main St.] ; E. by Caleb Church and Josiah Treadway ; W. by Samuel Eddy,
Elizabeth Woodward [wid. of George], Caleb Church, and Benjamin Wellington;
N. by B. W. and S. Eddy. The other part of the How estate (27 or 30 A.) passed
from Josiah to his son, James Treadway, who, on Jan. 9, 1710-11, sold it to John
Coolidge, housewright. It was bounded S. by County Road (Main St.) ; W. by C.
Church and R. Goddard; N. by R. Goddard and S. Eddy; E. by County Road
(Mount Auburn St.), and Samuel Eddy. It will be observed that this was not the
whole of the east half. About 6 A. had been sold to Caleb Church, probably soon
after the purchase by Josiah Treadway. Church was licensed to keep a tavern in
1686. Ap. 25, 1712, C. Church, millwright, sold this land (6 A.) to Thomas
Learned, where he and his family kept a tavern fifty years or more. The Spring
Hotel has been built on that lot.
The 2 A. lot, bounded S. by the river, N. by Mill Creek, and extending from
the bridge to the dam, was a grant to E. How. This grant, in addition to what is
said in § 140, is an additional reason for believing that he built the mill. [See p. 747.]
In 1635, 20 A. was laid out " to the use of the mill :" it was not a grant in fee
to the owner of the mill. The town still held it, and had the right to dispose of it,
and for this reason Mr. Dudley is not named among the proprietors. In 1677, the
town sold a small part of it to Caleb Church, which was about the date of his settle
ment in Watertown. July 7, 1752, a committee of the town sold the eastern point
of this land (16 rods) to Nathaniel Harris, Esq.
The 150 acres granted " to the use of the wear," was by the Court confirmed to
Mr. Mayhew in 1641. [§§ 131-4], but it was not included in the list of his posses
sions, and it has not been ascertained when or by whom it first began to be occupied
and improved.
The records do not show who was the original grantee of the 20 A. homestall of
John Flemming. His heirs sold this and other lands to Rev. Roger Nevinson.
Mar. 4, 1677-8, John Nevinson, son and att'y of Roger Nevinson, for £160, sold to
Nathaniel Bright this homestall (house and 20 A.) ; also two lots of dividend land,
of 15 A. and 50 A. Ap. 2, 1651, Flemming bought of Thomas Andrews, of
Camb., the lot at the N. E. corner of Lexington and Belmont St., which was a grant
to Edmund James ; but probably it was sold before the decease of Flemming to
John Bisco. Flemming also bought land on the south side of Belmont St., nearly
opposite to his homestall, which his wid. and ex'ors sold to his son-in-law, John
Barnard. It is probable that William Hammond settled at first on Cambridge Road, very
near the Cambridge line [see map]. Whether this was a grant to him, the records
do not show. He sold it early and settled on his 40 A. homestall, situated east of
Pequusset meadow. He also owned three small lots in Pequusset meadow, one of
them granted to him, and the other two purchased. This homestall passed to his
son Thomas. The Inventory of the estate of T. H. by John Livermore and Ens.
John Sherman, showed that it did not equal the amount of his debts, and the estate
was assigned to John Livermore and Steadman.
On the 29th Sept., 1663, Edmund Sherman, clothworker, of Dedham, Eng. (for
merly of Watertown), by his attorney, Rev. John Sherman, his brother, brought a
suit against the assignees for "two broadcloths," adventured and sent over to Thomas
Hammond. Verdict for the plaintiff, £40. It appears by the will of Dea. Henry
Bright, p. 105, that this homestall, with the adjoining meadows, was put into the
possession of Rev. John Sherman, who sold them to Dea. H. Bright.
John Warren first settled on a lot on Water Street; but he sold it, and moved
early to a lot on the east side of Lexington Street, next to that of Isaac Sterne,
where he resided permanently. The N. E. corner of Belmont and Lexington Streets
formerly was called Commodore's Corner, and it is said to have been so named for
Samuel Warren, who lived there, and was called The Commodore.

* HISTORY OF WATERTOWN. 1089
Isaac isterne settled first upon his homestall on Cambridge Road, near Cambridge
Line. But he moved early to a larger homestall on the east side of Lexington St.,
immediately south of that of John Warren, where he resided permanently. It passed
to his son Samuel, then to his grandson, Nathaniel. John Firmin settled first, as
it is believed, on Water Street, but removed early to his land on Bank Lane, a little
distance east of Dorchester Field. «
The locality of the homestalls of Abraham Shaw and William Bridges imply
that they were first settlers, but they sold and moved away so early that the schedules
do not show whether they were granted or purchased.
The grant of a homestall to John Lawrence, east of the Fresh Pond, and adjoining
that of Robert Seeley, implies that he was a first settler; but he settled very early
on a lot granted to him on the west side of Common Street, which was his perma
nent residence, until he moved to Groton, except, perhaps, a temporary residence in
Boston. In 1643, Capt. John Sherman owned two homestalls, both obtained by purchase.
The arrangement of lots, in the list of his possessions, implies that he occupied the
lot on Bank Lane, which had been granted to Thomas Rogers. But it is more pro
bable that he settled at first on his homestall on the east side of Common Street,
immediately south of Strawberry Hill. This was his permanent residence, and it
passed to his son Joseph. In 1643 it consisted of the two lots granted Daniel Morse
and Edmund James, and, by estimation, contained 16 _r acres. It was afterwards
enlarged by purchasing adjoining lands, and, in the time of his son Joseph, embraced
the lots granted to John Reynolds and I. Mixer. He had few grants, and most of
his early possessions were grants made to Thomas Rogers.
The residence of Rev. John Sherman was the Richard Holden lot on the N. side
of Belmont Street. He next purchased the Stebbin lot, on the east, as already
stated. In 1673, Justinian Holden, then of Cambridge, "sold to John Sherman,
Pastor, two parcels of land adjoining or adjacent to the dwelling-house of Mr. Sher
man." His land, after this purchase, nearly surrounded the Pond at the N. E.
corner of Belmont and Grove Streets. The town had granted Mr. Sherman the use
of 20 A. on Meeting-house Common for firing.
Concerning the residence of Thurston Raynor, Gregory Stone, Thomas Boylston,
and John Chinery, see those names in the Catalogue, pp. 1005, &c.
The lot of Christopher Grant, on the N. side of Belmont Street, is called a grant
of 5 A. in the schedule of grants; but in the sale of it to G. Church, with one acre
of Pond, it is stated that 3 A. were granted to himself, 3 A. to L. Waters, and the
1 A. of Pond granted to John Griggs. At this sale it was bounded W. by Mr.
Sherman. The-lot-of ~0. Callow, on the W. side of School Street, passed to Wm.
Williams, ttien to his widow, then to her son, Abraham Williams, who sold it to R.
Wellington. The Godfrey lot was granted to Hugh Mason, who probably sold it to
Godfrey at the time he [M.] purchased his large homestall on the E. side of School
Street. Oct. 17, 1653, William Godfrey sold his homestall to Robert Sanderson
[see p. 257]. A part (6 A.) of the 16 A. Parkhurst lot was purchased by H. Mason.
This 6 A. was a grant to Ej James. The 21 A. homestall of Capt. H. Mason was
his permanent residence, and he purchased a part of the H. Dow lot ( ? or R. Veazy
lot) on the other side of the street. It passed to his son Joseph; then to his grand
son' Dea. Joseph, Jr., Esq. ; then probably to his gr. grandson, Nehemiah. The
Ellis Barron lot (which was a grant to Richard Kemball) was the residence of that
family, so long as they remained in town. Ellis Barron, Jr., sold it, or a part of it,
in 1707 to his son Timothy, who sold it, in 1717, to Jonas Bond. The adjoining
8 A. homestall lot of Thomas Smith was bought by Wm. Perry about the time
Smith moved within the present limits of Waltham. [See Jonas Bond above.]
The 7 A. lot of Benjamin Crispe was his residence, until he moved to Groton,
soon after which he sold it to Thomas Boyden, about which time he (B.) returned
to Watertown. The 4£ A. lot, at the S. E. corner of Belmont and School Streets,

1090 APPENDIX IV. »
was granted to John Lawrence, who sold it about 1642, to Wm. Page, but did not
execute the deed until Oct. 27, 1662, when he was about to move to Groton. The
7 A. lot next south of it was granted to B. Pendleton, and purchased by Wm. Page.
[This lot is also in the list of grants made to J. Simson.] The next, south of this,
was a 7 A. homestall lot, purchased by Dea. N Guy. This was his permanent
residencc. The 3 A. lot of upland next south of the last was granted to N. Guy.
These lots passed to his son-in-law, Joseph Tainter. The next lot south, at the cor
ner of Belmont and School Streets, was granted to Thomas Cakebread, and it was
purchased by John Grout.
On the W. side of School St., at the corner of Mt. Auburn St., was the 13 A. home-
stall granted to Ensign T. Cakebread. From him it passed to John Grout, whose
residence it was until he moved to Sudbury. Adjoining this, on the west, was the
homestall of John Bernard, where he probably always resided. The west half of it
was sold by him to Daniel Smith previous to 1644, and afterwards the other part of
it was sold to Smith. After the decease of John Bernard, his widow probably lived
at the S. E. corner of Main and Howard Streets, on the Carter lot.
The next, north of these lots of Bernard and Cakebread, was the 12 A. lot granted
to Richard Browne, from whom it passed to George Richardson, and, as early as
1643, to John Train, who resided there permanently. May 12, 1709, his son John
and his grandson John mortgaged this lot to N. Bright; and on the 26 Jan., 1710-
11, John Train sold it to John Stratton.
The next lot, on the north, was the 14 A. homestall granted to Bryan Pendleton,
who resided there until he moved to Sudbury. He probably settled first in " the
town," east of Mount Auburn. From him this lot passed to Geojge Munning; then
(when Munning moved to Boston) to John Sherman ; then bought back by Munning
and given to his son-in-law, John Sawin.
The next lot, on the north, was the 12 A. homestall granted to John Simson, who
d. June, 1643. It then passed to George Parkhurst, Sen., who m. Simson's widow.
After Parkhurst moved to Boston, he sold 6 A. to John Train, and 6 A. to M.
Barstow. The next lot north, at the S. W. corner of School and Belmont St., was the 14 A.
homestall granted to Richard Carver. After his decease, it passed to Michael Bar
stow, who resided there, but a little before his decease, sold it to John Train. For
the permanent residence of John Whitney, Sen., see pp. 1016 and 1036.
About 1644, Rev. John Knowles bought the large homestall of Capt. W. Jenni
son, and about the same time sold his homestall at the junction of Orchard and
Belmont Streets to Thomas Strait. Oct. 21, 1644, Strait sold to T. Tarball the
western part (6 A.). Ap. 8, 1644, Strait bought of George Bullard the adjoining 8
A. lot. Mar. 16, 1648-9, he sold to Thomas Arnold these lands (then called
20 A.) purchased, part of J. Knowles, part of G. Bullard, and part of Thomas
Wincoll. Oct. 20, 1662, T. Arnold and wife Phebe, then of Providence, sold these
lands (or a part of them), then called 18 A., with dwelling-house and barn, to John
Wincoll. It is stated in the deed that a part was granted to him (T. A.) and a part
purchased of T. Strait. On the S. E. corner of the homestall of J. Knowles may be
seen a 1 A. lot (marked T. A.) granted to Arnold. This was Arnold's residence,
and was included in his sale to J. Wincoll; but the land bought by Strait of Thomas
Wincoll, and sold to Arnold, was not included in this sale to J. Wincoll. Oct. 27,
1661, T. Arnold and wife sold to John Whitney, Jr., his land, 17 A., on the S. W.
side of Orchard Street, 12 A. of which (adjoining Mrs. Phillips) had been granted,
and the rest was that portion of T. Wincoll' s lot sold to him by T. Strait. At this
date Richard Whitney owned the adjoining land on the S. E., which was a part of
the T. Wincoll lot. John Whitney, Jr., already was the proprietor of the lot -on
Lexington Street, adjoining that of Mrs. Phillips.
We have, in another place, stated the probability, that what is now called White's
Hill was the ancient Whitney Hill, as John Whitney and his sons were settled on

HISTORY OF WATERTOWN. 1091
'J™8^8 of it;- This is not disproved ; but it is, perhaps, quite as probable that
the Whitney Hill referred to, in determining the site of the new meeting-house
[§ 179], was some smaller elevation in the Whitney lands that was less remote from
the site of the meeting-house.
The 16 A. Pickeram lots were bought, Sept. 1, 1646, by Joshua Stubbs, who
sold them, Nov. 28, 1654, to Joseph Underwood.
The 4. A. lot, E. of J. Knowles, marked M. & A. B. (Maudlin and Ann Bullard),
was probably bought by R. Jennison about 1650. The 6 A. lot of N. Theale, at
the east, was sold in 1645 to William Shattuck. June 7, 1650, James Cutler sold
the same lot to John Randall (probably the husband of wid. Elizabeth, p. 409).
Nathaniel Holland and Wm. Price not long afterwards had small lots in this neigh
borhood on Belmont Street. Jan. 1658-9, Richard Smith, bought of T. Arnold 1
A. in the same neighborhood.
The 12 A. homestall of T. Philbrick, N. W. corner of Belmont and Lexington
Streets, was purchased, Jan. 23, 1645-6, by Isaac Sterne, who gave it^o his son
Samuel [see p. 455]. The 8 A. homestall next west of this, was granted to John
Stowers, and occupied by him. It was bought by Bartholomew Pierson in 1644, and
by him sold to George Bullard, Mar. 11, 1653-4. This was probably G. Bullard's
permanent residence ; and the statement [p. 148] that he moved to Weston in 1660
is a mistake. Jan. 29, 1703-4, Samuel Barnard, housewright, and wife Mercy, sold
this lot to Capt. Abraham Brown, then called 14 A. ; thus enlarged, by an addition
either of some of the land granted to Peirce, or perhaps by a purchase of land on
the north. This was long known as The Parsonage, and was the residence of Mr.
Angier. It is probable that this property was purchased and held by Brown (who
had been several years town treasurer), as agent, trustee, or treasurer, for this pur
pose, and not as his private property. If held as his personal right, there is no
evidence that he or any of his family ever resided there. After the removal of the
Angier meeting-house, and about the time of the purchase of a parsonage for Mr.
Storer, Capt. A. Brown sold it to John Stearns.
The next W. of Stowers, was a 4 A. lot granted to Anthony Peirce. The next,
W. of this, was a 6 A. lot granted to his father, John Peirce, who sold or gave this
to his son Anthony, and settled on two lots in the town plot, on the opposite side of the
road. That lot granted to John Peirce is described as bounded W. by a highway.
This was probably "the highway ordered to be laid out at the hither end of the Great
Dividends [see p. 996]. It would be nearly continuous with the road on the W.
side of the Town Plot; but it was probably vacated very early, if it was ever opened.
Since writing § 98, it has been ascertained that the tract of land, there described
as the Town Plot, was not the whole of it ; that the Town Plot also embraced that
range of lots on the E. side of Lexington Street, extending from Orchard to Blain
Street. The remark in § 99, respecting the lot of Mr. Phillips, is therefore inappro
priate. The Town Plot on the east side of Lexington Street.
The first, in the list of lots in the Town Plot, was the 12 A. homestall of Mr.
Phillips, at the S. E. corner of Lexington and Orchard Streets. He purchased 3
A. adjoining this. The next, south of it, was the 9 A. (in the Town Plot) granted
to E. How. It passed to John Whitney, Jr. The next, south of this, was the 6 A.
lot granted to Edmund James, which passed to Richard Wait. The next, south of
James was a 3 A. lot purchased by S. Freeman; but to whom granted, the records
do not show. The next, south of this, was the 3 A. lot granted to B. Windes, and
by him sold to Richard Benjamin. The next S. was the 4 A. lot granted to William
Potter. Richard Woodward bought this and the 6 A. adjoining it on the south, and
gave or sold these 10 A. to his son, George Woodward. This was the permanent
residence of George Woodward, and it was occupied by his widow and family many
years after his decease. The lot next S. of G. Woodward, at the N. E. corner of
Lexington and Main Streets, was the 6 A. granted to Edmund Blois, who made it

1092 APPENDIX IV.
his residence. Some time afterwards he is supposed to have moved to a lot on the S.
side of Mount Auburn Street, a little W. of the Old Graveyard.
Town Plot, west side of Lexfngton Street.
Joseph Tainter owned and occupied a homestall of 18 A., at the N. W. corner of
Main and Lexington Streets. It was made up of lots granted to Simon Eire,
Gregory Taylor, and 6 of the 9 A. granted to Capt. Patrick. This homestall passed
to his son, Simon Tainter. The other 3 A. of Patrick's lot, was bought by John
Vahan and by him sold to E. How. Next west of Patrick's, was the 9 A. lot
granted to R. Feake. It was purchased by Nathan Fiske, who made it his perma
nent residence. It passed to his son John, who lived there, perhaps unmarried, to
advanced age. There is little doubt but tbat this is the lot which passed from Capt.
Abraham Browne to his son Jonathan, and that it was the residence of the late Col.
Willam Bond, who married a daughter of this Jonathan Browne. It is very
probable that the house occupied by Col. Wm. Bond, was built by the first Nathan
Fiske. ^was very ancient, and was removed more than 40 years ago. Sudbury
Road, at this point, anciently, ran four rods farther south than it has done for the
last 150 years. In Ap. 1703, Abraham Browne having petitioned to have 4 rods
land on the Common near his house, the committee made return, July 5, 1703, that
they had laid out 4 rods southerly side of the hill,* between Browne's and the present
house of Serjt. John Fiske [son and ex'r of Nathan], and have set out [to John
Fiske] the same quantity of Browne's land, on the south side of his homestall next ihe
highway leading to Beaver Brook. It appears by a deed of wid. Mary Browne, and
her son Benjamin, that Serjt. John Fiske owned land on the south side, and con
tiguous to the Browne homestall. It is also to be observed that this old mansion of
Col. Bond, stood almost in the road, with no space between them, but that the old
part of the Browne mansion, stood several (6 or 7) rods from the road, and that
after Capt. A. Browne built the new part towards the road, there was still a con
siderable space between it and the road. [See Abraham Browne, p. 1086].
The next west of Nathan Fiske, was the 6 A. homestall granted to Dea. Thomas
Hastings. About 1643, he gave this to his servant, Robert Harrington, and on the
4 Mar., 1656-7, he executed a deed in full, Harrington having built upon and im
proved it. Although Harrington lived to great age, and acquired numerous and
large possessions, it is probable that this was his permanent residence, and that it
passed to his youngest son, Edward, and afterwards to his grandson Capt. Edward
Harrington. The next west of Harrington, was the 6 A. homestall of Thomas Flagg, and it
was probably his permanent residence. He was not the original grantee of it, nor
do the records show to whom it was granted.
Next west of Flagg was the 6 A. lot granted to John Sherman, and bought by E.
How. There is some obscurity in regard to the lots between those of Sherman and
Coolidge, and we cannot make the map, at this point, satisfactory. Sherman's lot
was bounded W. by Jonas Eaton, a grantee of 3 A. in the Town Plot. Wid.
Frances Onge was grantee of 6 A. in the Town Plot, and her son, Simon, was after^
wards owner of 6 A., which was bounded E. by Jonas Eaton, W. by William Seger
[? Hager]. This is the only mention of Wm. Seger in the records. The 6 A. lot
of J. Coolidge was bounded E. by Jonas Eaton. As this lot is not in the summary
of Coolidge's grants and possessions, in 1644, perhaps it will be discovered that he
sold it to William Hager, who married and settled in Watertown about this time,
and that this was the ancient Hager residence.
Next west of this, was the 6 A. lot, with a pond of 1 acre, granted to Abraham
Browne. He probably sold the land, or a part of it, to Edmund Blois.
* This ancient Fiske mansion, with rooms on both sides of the entrance, was two storied in front; but the hill
in the rear, towards the north, rose so abruptly, that the garret floor of a wing- of the house, extended in that
direction, was on a level with the ground. As an apology to the reader for this particularity, it may be stated
that the author was born in that remnant of early Puritan- architecture.
Kecent researches render it not improbable that John Fiske [11, p. 210], was a son of Nathan [3, p. 214]; but
at present we have not data to determine Ihe question.

HISTORY OF WATERTOWN. 1093
The 21 A. homestall of Samuel Freeman, where he resided, was at the S. W.
corner of Lexington and Warren Streets. It was made up of the 6 A. granted to
Samuel Hosier, 6 A. granted to Charles Chadwick, 6 A., grantee not ascertained
(probably John Thomson, who sold it to W. Clarke, and by Clarke sold to Freeman),
and 3 A. of the 9 A. lot granted to Richard Browne. This lot of R. B. is described
as bounded E. by William Clarke. This homestall of S. Freeman passed to his
son Henry. The other 6 A. granted to R. Browne, was purchased by Richard Gale,
and was his residence. N.B. On the map, C. C.'s lot should be next to S. H.
Next west, was the 12 A. homestall of Joseph Bemis, where he resided perma
nently. It was made up of the 6 A. lot granted to John Firmin, and the 6 A. lot
granted to Simon Stone. It passed to his son John, and probably to his grandson
Jonathan. Next west of Bemis, was the 6 A. lot granted to Nicholas Busby; and next west
of this was the 6 A. lot granted to Isaac Mixer. Next west of Mixer, and bounded
W. by the highway, was the 6 A. lot granted to Daniel Peirce, and purchased by
John Prescott.
The 6 A. lot at the N. W. corner of Lexington and Warren Streets, was granted
to John Dogget, and from him passed to Richard Wait, who resided there.. The
next west was the 6 A. lot granted to John Woolcott or his widow Winifred, from
whom it passed to Edmund White, and afterwards to Samuel Thatcher. The next
west was the 6 A. lot granted Edmund James, from whom it passed to Nicholas
Theale, who resided there; (?) sold by George Parkhurst to R. Wait, Ap. 6, 1652.
Next west, was the 6 A. granted to R. Kemball, sold to Richard Beach. Next west
was a lot of George Parkhurst, the size and the grantee of it not ascertained. Dee. 3,
1649, Joseph Underwood sold it to John Bigelow. The next west was the 6 A. lot
granted to Henry Bright,' Jr., from whom it passed to John Bigelow. This was the
first and the permanent residence of the ancestor of all the BJgelows in this coun
try. Next west was the 6 A. homestall of Miles Ives, grantee not ascertained.
This is supposed to have been his permanent residence. The next west, bounded on
the W. by the highway, was the 6 A. lot granted to Edward Garfield. It was his
residence. The 6 A. lot at the S. W. corner of Lexington and Belmont Streets, is in the
list of grants to John Whitney. It was probably granted after the other lots in the
Town Plot had been granted, and the list made out and recorded, as his name is not
on that list, and the adjoining lot was described as bounded E. by the Common.
This lot passed to his son, John Whitney, Jr., who did not reside upon it, but upon
a lot on the E. side of Lexington St., adjoining the land of Mr. Phillips. The next
west, was the 6 A. homestall of Bartholomew Pierson. He was not the grantee,
and it is conjectured that it was a grant to J. Stowers. Pierson sold this lot with
a house to Anthony Peirce, Oct. 7, 1655, for £28. About this time Pierson moved
to Woburn. The next W. was the 6 A. lot granted to John Smith, Senior, and by
him sold to John Peirce. The next W. was the 6 A. lot granted to W. Barsham and by
him sold to John Peirce. These two lots constituted the homestall, where it is sup
posed that he resided permanently. The next W. was the 6 A. granted to David
Fiske, and was the homestall of William Parker. Next W. is the 6 A. lot granted
to Richard Beers, passed to Richard Amler, where he resided, then called 7 A.
The next W., bounded W. and N. by highway, was the 8 A. lot of upland granted
to Thomas Arnold. Like that of John Whitney, it is not in the recorded list of
lots granted in the Town Plot. This is the lot that was seized to pay the fine im
posed for his not attending public worship. It was purchased by (?) Miles Ives.
The 2 A. lot of John Spring, at the corner of Orchard St. and Bowman's Lane,
was his permanent residence, and passed to his son Henry.
Dec. 13, 1649, James Cutler, Sen., and Nathaniel Bowman, for £70, bought of
Edward Goffe 200 A. in Cambridge, adjoining Rock Meadow, and near, or adjoining
to Watertown [Waltham] line, payable in instalments of £10 annually, in goods;
payments secured by mortgage. It was bounded E. by land of N. Bisco. Mar. .4,

1094 APPENDIX IV. . £
1650-1, Cutler sold his share (100 A.) to Bowman for £39. It is probab'
Cutler and Bowman moved from Watertown about this date. [See pp. 88 ana
The 5 A. lot at the S. E. corner of Belmont St. and Bowman's Lane wa
residence of John Bisco, in 1643. The 6 A. homestall lot of Benjamin Bull
near the N. W. point of Fresh Pond, probably belonged to his father, Robert Bulla
whose wid., Anna, m. N. Theale. The 6 A. homestall, where N. Theale resided . <-.
1644, in Bowman's Field, had probably "belonged to R. Bullard. John CoolidglS
settled first on the Camb. line a little W. of Fresh Pond, and probably alway||
resided there. Richard Kimball's residence was at the E. of Fresh Pond. That of!1
Henry Kimball, Sen., was on his lot adjoining that of N. Bowman. Joseph Morse:
settled first on the S. side of Orchard St., and in 1640 exchanged it for the 18 A.j"
lot, E. side of Pequusset Common.
The preceding explanations apply exclusively to what were called the Small Lots
[§ 81], and they illustrate, in part, what was said in § 84 and § 85, about the multi
tude of lots and the frequent change of ownership. In further illustration of the
multiplicity of lots, we would refer to the lots in the Great Dividends, in the Beaver
Brook plowlands, the lieu of township lots, the lots in the West Pine and other
meadows, and the Farms. [See pp. 1021-28.]
The changes of ownership were in many instances wholesale. All the lots
granted to Gregory Stone, and his purchased homestall, were purchased for Thomas
Boylston. The 7 lots granted to John Bachelor, and the 6 lots granted to
Robert Tucke, were, all purchased by Jeremiah Norcross. These ware not all of
N.'s purchases. All the lots of Peter Noyes were purchased of Bryan Pendleton.
The numerous lots granted to Thomas Cakebread passed to John Grout. The
numerous lots of Nicholas Knapp and of Bobert Lockwood, were bought by B.
Pendleton, after he returned from Sudbury, and by him they were sold to Robert
Daniel. After his decease, they passed to his son Samuel Daniel, who sold to his
brother-in-law, Thomas Fanning, what had been the homestalls of his father, of
Robert Lockwood, and of Nicholas Knapp. All the lots held by Thomas Andrews,
were grants to Edmund James. All the lots which Thomas Philbrick retained
until his removal to Hampton, were purchased by Isaac Sterne. John Ellet sold
his house and 5 lots to Thomas Wincoll. Edward Lamb sold most of the lots
granted to him, to Charles Stearns. Most of the lands granted to John Simson passed
to George Parkhurst, who married his widow. All the lots of John Firmin (with
the exception of his first homestall in "the town," sold to Henry Bright, Jr., and
his lot in the Town Plot, sold to Joseph Bemis), were by his heirs sold to Barnabas
Farr, of Boston, and by Farr sold to Richard Beers. The 2 lots granted to
Nathaniel Foote, were bought by Henry Cuttris, and by him sold to Jeremiah Nor
cross. The 4 lots granted to Robert Abbot, were sold to Roger Wellington. John
Stowers sold to Thomas Hammond, at one time, a dwelling and 18 lots of land. He
had previously sold some lots, and he still held a 130 A. farm. In addition to tho
lots granted to John Woolcot and his widow, he purchased the 5 lots of Philip
Tabor, some, if not all, of the lots of Abraham Shaw, and one or more lots
granted to John Tucker; and from his widow, Winifred, most of them passed to.
Edmund White, of London, and by David Yale, his attorney, they were sold to
Samuel Thatcher. 8 lots were granted to John Gosse, and all of them that he re
tained until his decease, were by his heirs sold to Samuel Stratton. John Knight,
from Sudbury, owned 15 lots in 1643, all obtained by purchase or exchange, except
one farm of 287 A., ten of which lots he sold to Thomas Underwood, at the time
Underwood moved from Dorchester to Watertown. The 9 lots granted to Henry
Goldstone, and the 4 lots purchased by him, all, so far as ascertained, passed to his
son-in-law, Dea. Henry Bright.

THE END.
