PRESS OF MURRAY AND EMERY COMPANY BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS INTRODUCTION
The first practical step towards the preparation of this book was the sending of the following letter to representative members of the Prouty family in Vermont, New York and Iowa. In these three states, with Massachusetts, are found the largest groups of persons of our name.
Re. "PROUTY FAMILY.''
Boston, Mass., February 21, 1910. Dear Sir: A number of the members of the Prouty fa1nily in Massa chusetts, interested in our genealogy, think it would be well to have a book of the "Prouty Family" compiled. Such a book would preserve, in convenient reference form, inform.a tion which at times we all want to know and which with every decade is becoming more difficult to obtain. Ours is one of the old families of New England, dating from 1667 and as such, its records should, we think, be put in permanent form. The book would become of greater value and interest each year. · Some of us have done already considerable investigation and can trace our own line to the original Richard of Scituate. But this book proposed would start with the first member and follow his descendants and their children down to the present time. To do such a piece of work thoroughly and expeditiously seems to demand a person trained in genealogi cal research. At the suggestion of the Librarian of the New England Historic Genealogical Society of Boston, we have conferred with a gentleman who is doing this work well today. He has compiled a number of exceedingly satisfactory genealogies of New England families and could undertake ours at once. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * There are four main groups of the family in this country: one in Massachusetts, one in Vermont, one in New York, and one in Iowa. By way of having a center of interest in

each of these groups, we propose to ask each to guarantee part of the amount needed. If you approve the plan as outlined, will you be responsible for the amount * * * from your group? You may of course distribute it among your relatives as you wish. We are writing to a representative member of each of the other groups and on receipt of a favorable reply ·will begin t}ie work at once. The writer has conferred with Mr. Dwight M. Prouty of Boston and with him, with your consent, will become your executive committee to carry the work through. Hoping for an early and favorable reply, I am, Yours very truly, . LEWIS I. PROUTY.

The responses to these letters showed a cordial interest and although the amounts asked for were not fully offered, enough encouragement was received to lead the committee to arrange with Mr. Pope who at once set to work to gather materials for the book. He drew the facts from printed "Vital Records of Massa chusetts Towns" where the family has been numerous, from the "Transcripts of Town Records since 1840 '' which are at the State House, from unpublished records and from town histories; correspondence added material from other States and from places whose records were inaccessible. County records of sales of land and probate of estates gave much information, and town clerks of many places added more. Family Bibles and other forms of record were drawn upon; and the memory of some persons contributed statements which, in certain cases, proved to be inaccurate, though generally trustworthy. As the work progressed it seemed important to make a search in England in order to give completeness to the records, and Mr. Pope was accordingly sent on a special trip of investigation. The results are shown in the pages which follow. In searching for any particular family or person, use the index of Prouty names or that of the names of those who have in-ser- •• INTRODUCTION Vll married with the family; or you may find your friend or kindred by looking at the place index. Remember that there have often been several of the same name. Many questions and criticisms are certain to arise on account of the fallibility of all who have contributed to this genealogy, together with those who have done the editing, printing and proof-reading; but a serious effort has been made to get and give the truth and here is the result. It is hoped that readers will report to the publisher or committee anything thought to be erroneous, giving the reasons for the belief. For the guarantee fund which made possible the publication of this genealogy our f am Hy is indebted to:

PROUTY(PROUTE)GENEALOGY
THE FAMILY IN ENGLAND
The Prouty Family in America is descended from Richard Prouty, of Scituate, Plymouth Colony, New England. He was there in 1670, says the town history; he is first recorded in 1676. His name was spelled variously by recorders, Prouty, Proutey, Proutee and Prout. No signature of his has come down to us; but his eldest son that grew up, Edward, wrote the surname "Proute" on at least one occasion, and others of the family spelled it so during the eighteenth cen tury; then the spelling settled into the form. Prouty. Not so in England, however; the forms Prout, Proute, Proud, Proude, Prowte and Prowde are found, but never Prouty. As Prouty is plainly a derivative from one of those (like Smithy from Smith, or Southey from South), we must look for the origin of the American immigrant in records which are so designated. In the years before the settlement of New England the utmost carelessness prevailed as to the spelling of words, and names partook of the prevalent ir regularity. So we may consider any records under either of the modes mentioned as relating to the early stages of the Prouty family. "\Ve are not able to find any contemporaneous record made here by the immigrant or his children or associates which tells whence he came. Nor have we found any document in England which states that a "Richard Proute," born there, had gone to New England or was then in America. Only a very small number of the founders of our republic are as definitely connected with the old world as that sort of record would afford. Even when family genealogists make the definite statement that their immigrant ancestor was the son of such and such a man, born in such and such a place at such and such a date, the historian is sometimes 1 2 THE PROUTY GENEALOGY
merely giving an opinion of his own in the form of a proven fact. But we say that we believe there is a very strong probability that we have found who his parents were and when and where he was born. This opinion or theory will be stated distinctly, and the reader shall have opportunity to follow the course of in vestigation made and the arguments which convinced the writer of its correctness. He holds with the famous Bishop Butler that "To us probability is the very guide of life." The first step in the investigation made in England was of a general sort. Many indexes to probate records and parish registers there are in print; and these were scrutinized to see where this name prevailed at and before the settlement of New England. We found that it did not occur in many counties; that it was chiefly found in Cornwall, Devonshire and Gloucestershire; and thorough search of the documents in those dioceses was made. The earliest general lists of Englishmen accessible on any extended scale are the lists of jurymen who settled the suc cession of the lords of manors, in what were called" Inquisi tiones post mortem.'' As there were no regular registers of baptisms kept till after the year 1500, succession had to be proved before that time by witnesses who could say that they knew a claimant to have been the child and true heir of the deceased. And the jury decided on the claims. Records of these inquisi tions after death are extant for several counties from the period of the Crusade~ to the time of Charles I. In such an inquisition held at Seynebury, County Glouces ter, "on Monday before the feast of St. Peter in cathedra, anno 17, Edward 1," (A.D. 1289) "William Prowde" was one of the jury who decided on the succession to the lands held by John Musard. In an inquisition held about the lands of Henry de Dene, lord of the manor of Pagenhull in the same county, 9 April, anno 20, Edward I (A.D. 1299) "Robt le Proute" and "John le Proute '' appear in the list of jurors. The use of the French article "Le" before a name was common, not as indicating THE FAMILY IN ENGLAND 3 the person to be of that nationality but simply a custom of the reporters who were usually trained by Norman teachers. The name Prout may have been that old word which signified what one found by searching or "prowing" or prowling about. Or it may have been derived from the word proud and. indicate the self-respect of the person to whom it was given. In either of these cases the article would not be inappro priate, whether it meant the treasure found or the person approved. Another line of historical documents is found in wills, which were very generally m21de a.nd preserved with great care. The city of Bristol, then in the county of Gloucester, was one of the most enterprising ports of the world; home of "The Merchant Adventurers"; many passengers sailed thence to America. We are interested to find Proutes there. In "The Great Orphan Book" of Bristol we find that "John PrO'lVte, whittewyer '' * was one of the execut~rs of the will of William Worcestre the elder, burgess, October 20, 1420. "Robert PrO'lVte" was tenant of a messuage belonging to James Cokkes (Cocks or Cox), another burgess of Bristol, as is mention~d in--the will of the latter, May 21, 1423. The will of the John PrO'lVte above-mentioned is found at Somerset House, London. It is written in Latin; we give an abstract translation. In the name of God Amen, on the twentyfourth day of the month of August in the year of our Lord one thousand, four hundred and twenty seven, I, John Prowte, whittawyer, burgess of the city of Bristol, make my will in the following manner. Firstly, I bequeath my soul to God, St. Mary and all the Saints and my body to be buried in the parish church of St. James in Bristol aforesaid. I bequeath to the fabric
~he trade of "'\\,.hittawer was that of white tanner, or tanner of white leather. The word tanner was coITUpted into tawer, tawyer; tare and tower. The name Thayer is a derivative; our Massachusetts Thayer family descends from an old family at Thornbury, Gloucester, whose name shows these varieties in the parish registers. 4 THE PROUTY GENEALOGY of+ the aforesaid church vi s, viii d; to the mother church of Worcester xii d; to the Priory of St. James iii s, iiii d; other sums to the church; to my wife Margaret all my furniture and utensils in my house; to Robert Prowte xx s; to Richard Went xx s; to Thomas Wodeford vi s, viii d; to Lawrence Prowte, my brother, my toga, my green cloak and x s in money. Then, after my debts and funeral expenses have been paid and debts due me collected as far -as may be, the residue of my estate not bequeathed herei~ shall be divided into three parts, of which one part shall be for my wife in addition to what is above bequeathed to her, and the remainder for my two sons and two daughters. Proved at London in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury, 11 Oct. 1427. In the will of John Clyve, burgess, of Bristol, January 30, 1430, reference is made to the fact that John Prowte, deceased, had rented a tenement and two shops of him, and that the widow. Margery and son William were still holding the preIDISes. " William Proute, purser" was a legatee in the will of John Seynte, burgess of Bristol, and "Thomas Proute'' one of the witnesses, December 25, 1471. William Hynde, another burgess of Bristol and whittawer, in his will, February 27, 1473, made a bequest to "Thomas Proud." Thomas Prowde, burgess of Bristol, made his will October 15, 1500. Desired to be buried in the cemetery of St. J arnes, Bristol; gave to that church and the mother church of vV orcester and to William and Isabel Chestro. Residue to his wife Agnes whon1 he made executrix. Proved at the Dean and Chapter of Canterbury; printed in Gloucestershire Notes and Queries, vol. III, p. 534. John Prowde of Bristol, draper, was a partner of Francis Bannister, as appears from that gentleman's will, in 1625, given in Water's Gleanings. "\Ve do not find other Proutes at Bristol in any records searched; the registers of St. James parish show none; perhaps they may be found by going through the several parishes of the city, but no suggestion of them appears in THE FAMILY IN ENGLAND 5 wills, our surest indications. The family does continue to appear in Gloucestershire, a very few miles away, however, and its members may be closely related to those of the city. John Prowde of Kyngeswoode (probably a hamlet near Hawkesbury in Gloucester), made his will 3 September, 1464, proved at Lambeth eight days after. Desired to be buried in the church of Hawkesbury; bequeathed to that church and to the mother church at Worcester; to sons John and William, and daughter Helen. Search at Thornbury, Hawkesbury, Rockhampton, Tort worth and vicinity shows that there were quite a large number of persons of this name in that vicinity, a dozen miles up the Severn from Bristol, in the fifteenth, sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Many wills are on record at Gloucester and at London which show the members of those families to a large extent, but show no Richard. Elizabeth Prowte of the city of Gloucester, widow, made her will 10 February, 1528. To be buried by John Prowte. Bequests to various persons and objects, among them her brother Rafaell, Jone Jenkins, Alys Halsey; son William to have her best ring and daughter Katrine the second best; they to be executors and brother Rafaell overseer. No later wills show the family at Gloucester city. There was a·Iamily of the name in the adjoining county of Wilton. Thomas Prowte of Trowbridge, county Wilts, diocese of Salisbury, made his will 11 J!}ly, 1565, proved 23 April, 1566; bequeathed to his father and mother; wife's brother Nicholas Lucas; brother William Prowte; his "blacke book of physic and his herbal" to "our curate," John Plimpton. In Devonshire and Cornwall there were some persons of the name from quite an early period, but search of records fails to show any branches from which there is reason to be lieve the American Prouty family came. Captain Timothy Prout, an early settler at Boston, was of that line,* but we have found no signs of connection between him and the Scituate family here or in England. *See Ancestry of Captain Timothy Prout, by Mr._J. Henry Lea. 6 THE PROUTY GENEALOGY
The following will aroused my attention more than any other I found on account of the Christian name of the testator and its locality in Gloucestershire, the county where the family had been found more numerous than elsewhere from the thirteenth century, the county which then in cluded the city of Bristol, where we have seen the. Proutes so prominent.

Rodmarton lies in the open country, on high ground, a few miles east of the "Head of the Thames," near the border of Wiltshire. It took its name from being a town on the road by the marg-in of the county. I ts population has never gone beyond a -few hundreds; its people till the soil which has been under cultivation time out of mind. It was one of the stations of the Romans when they occupied the British Isles, and relics of their residence have been found by ploughmen in tessellated pavements and coins of the fourth century. In 1636 ihis discovery was made and recorded in the parish register. · The parish registers of Rodmarton are, fortunately, in good condition from the year 1605. Tracing through the parchment pages-long hours at large fees-we found that: ...... ,- -z

THE FAMILY IN ENGLAND 7
William Prout and Joane Painter were married the eleventh of November, 1619. Richard, son of William Prout, was baptized the two and twentieth of Aprill, 1621. Richard Prout & Elizabeth Ghuest (Guest) were married the first of August, 1647. RICHARD PROUT, son of Richard Prout, was baptized the thirtieth of September, 1652. From the will and these records we may construct this pedigree: THE RODMARTON FAJv.IILY Richard Prowt Alys - d. 1566;will. T John I William I Walter I Edy, I Izabell ...... William Prout Joane Painter n-1. 11 Nov. 1619 bur. I April, 1661 I Richard Prout - Elizabeth Guest bapt. 22 April, 1621; m. 1 Aug. 1647 bur. 27 Dec. 1703. I I Richard Prout, bapt. 30 Sept. ~ 65~.
We need not present all the items concerning the family that are in the Rodroarton register; they give the other children of successive generations; they show an · earlier marriage of the.Richard who was born in 1621 and the death of that first wife before his marriage to Elizabeth Guest. They also record burials of many of the family, some in in fancy, thus proving the fullness and care of details given. This convinces us that if Richard, Jr., had either married or died at Rodmarton the fact would have been set down in the register. Richard, the father, is mentioned several times after young Richard's baptism, having had several children younger than his namesake, so that there can be no doubt that he is the man whose burial is recorded as " Richard Prout of Rodmarton," December the twenty seventh, 1703. As Sapperton parish was united with Rod marton in public services at that time, the specification that the deceased was a Rodmarton man was natural. But 8 THE PROUTY GENEALOGY there is no later word there about the son Richard baptized in 1652. At Oldpen, a hamlet some miles away, one "Richard Proutt" was witness of a will in the year 1692; there is no record of such a man as a resident there; this was probably Richard Prout, Sen., of Rodma.rton. Nowhere else in Gloucestershire was the name Richard Prout found. The natural inference is that the Rodmarton boy had departed from the country. I have said that there was no record on this side of the Atlantic, showing Richard Prouty' s origin. But there is something of great value which aids our investigation, in the History of North Brookfield, Mass. When that work was in preparation Mr. Charles Adams, who compiled the genealogies, is said to have made the most thorough examina tion of the public records and gathered other facts from f arniJies, discriminating with uncommon vigilance; thus making a book which is held in very high repute. In the article on the Prouty family Mr. Adams says that Richard Prouty came from England at the ag~ of fourteen and settled at Scituate in 1667. Supposing that this North Brookfield historian placed on record a respectable family tradition, and we find nothing in the records of Scituate to disprove but much to support it, we tum to the registers of Rodmarton parish and say, "What a remarkable correspondence between the boy baptized in 1652 and the Scituate pioneer!" A farmer's son, leaving home so early, in the age when common schools were un known, would not be particular as to the spelling of the family name, nor make any special effort to keep very close relations with the old home. His boyish ardor, his adven turous spirit, would win him friends. Born of good yeoman stock, with generations of clean home and church life built into his nature, he ·would bring the best elements of the English people to the new country, and here his descendants would far exceed the relatives left behind under England's handicap conditions. It is easy to see how a boy so near the adventurous city ROD:MARTIX ELMS
THE FAMILY IN ENGLAND 9 of Bristol would become aroused by the talk about a wide, free land to the West; easy to see that the influence of Cox, King, Collamore and other families that sent representatives in those days to New England and Scituate, would stir the lad's spirit. And the man .in Scituate seems so young when first mentioned; a soldier in 1675-6; marrying when the "cruel war" was over, a maiden of his own age (if this be the person) and beginning his land-holdings only with soldier lands. Such reasonings strongly convinced the writer that Rodmarton was the cradle of the American Prouty family. So a photographer, Mr. Hugh Walwyn of Gloucester, was taken one day to Kemble Junction, thence on the branch line to "Rodmarton Halt''; we walked three-quarters of a mile up the gentle rise to the corners, past the blacksmith's shop, hard by the vicarage (where long study of the parish registers had previously been made), and focused the camera on the old elms in front of the parish church. They are believed to be the very trees that were planted in the year 1620, as an ancient record states. Then the camera was turned to the venerable and exceedingly rare type of church, five centuries Qr more old. These two views are presented to the Prouty family as memorials of English ancestry. The writer-does not hesitate to express his 1. RICHARD PROUTY was a resident of Scituate, Plymouth Colony when the Indian conflict known as "King Philip's vVar" was raging, and did a brave defender's part in repelling the cruel foe. Scituate suffered terribly from swift attacks of the wily savages; thirteen homes were burned and several lives lost in the years 1675 and 1676. Just when and where Richard Prouty performed his part is not recorded; but the Colony of Plymouth, in a session of its General Court, July 21, 1676, placed a list of the valiant men on its records with a note of what was owing to them. " The souldiers of Scittuat whoe desired to be satisfyed in lands for such service as they pformed for the country, with the sumes due to them on that accompt." In the list is "Richard Proutey. . .. 06-12-03'' This six pounds, twelve shillings and three pence was due at that particular time; perhaps he had done other service and received payment from the town. Scituate records have a copy* of this note in the General Court journal; "Richard Prouty'' the name is there written; it stands third after that of the lieutenant of the company, and the man next after him is specified as a corporal; one might infer ~he names of the persons to have land as alowed by the Court are as folleth £ s d Leutenant Isack Buck . . . . . 10 00 00 Zacreth Damon . . . . 06 06 01 John Damon ...... 06 05 07 Richard Prouty ...... 06 12 03 Cor: John Buck . . . . 08 09 05 Jonathan Jackson . 06 05 04 Thomas Clark . . 05 05 02 William Hatch . . . . 02 01 00 Walter Brige . . . . 05 18 07 Richard Dwely ...... 11 13 03 Charles Stockbridge for Benjamin \Voodworth . 07 09 00 Joseph Garrett ...... 05 09 07 This writing is Recorded according to order p mee Nathanell Morton Secretary Plymoth July the 22ond 1676. 10 FIRST GENERATION 11 that Prouty had acted as sergeant by this position of his name. The to"~ voted to instruct its representatives to ask the General Court for its proper share "of whatsoever lands and profits had been obtained by the Indian wars, proportionably to what soe ever charges they have been at on that accompt; . . . and also seeing that there are some wounded men which doe want releif e . . . and respecting Capt. Williams and about twenty or thirty of our men with him that were pressed out to range the woods about Namasick and Plymouth, that they may be paid by the Country as well as others prest souldiers having made application to us on that account." A tract of land had been set apart by Plymouth Colony in March, 1675-6, and some time later, November 12, 1677, the men were permitted to have deeds of shares in the tract in the form of purchases. This tract was "A N eek of land known as Shawomet, bounded easterly by the Bay of Taunton or mouth of Taunton river, southwa.rdly by the said Bay, and westerly by a River or cove of said Bay, which parteth the said Neck from a neck of land called Mr. Brinton's Neck and northwesterly partly by lands purchased of the Indians by Capt. Thomas Willett and Steven Paine, Senior, and partly adja~_ent to the Outlet Lands and also the said Outlet Lands." The valuation placed on the tract was £800; it was divided into thirty shares of which individuals had varying portions; Richard Prouty had onfr-quarter of a share. This he sold January 23, 1693, to Edward Gray for £14, his ·wife Damaris signing with him in re!ease of her dower in the land. In the year 1733 the General Court of Massachusetts Bay set apart seven tracts in various sections for the soldiers who had served in the wars against the Indians half a century before, calling the lands by the name of the tribe which had given most trouble, Narragansetts, numbering them in order. The Scituate soldiers received their lands in "Narragansett No. 5,jj which was afterward incorporated as Bedford, N. H. At a meeting of the proprietors of No. 5, held at Boston 30 October, 1734, lots were drawn by the surviving soldiers 12 THE PROUTY GENEALOGY or their heirs or representatives. The clerk of the meeting set down "Richard Prouty" as a claimant, and "Jonathan Proutt" as his representative received Lot No. 69, which was afterward sold to John Moor. "When the second drawing of lots took place, December 22, 1736, the record is "Jonathan Prouty: No. 26th: 8th Range" No. 27th: A third drawing gave "John Moor for Jonathan Prout," Nos. 83 upland and 40 meadow being the tracts. These particulars are given in docume:ots in the office of the Secre tary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and in the History of Bedford, N. H. To return to the personal history of Richard Prouty, the pioneer; we have seen him a citizen of Scituate in 1675 and 1676. He had been there long enough to "gain a residence," certainly; but how long? The History of Scituate makes the vague statement that he was there in 1670, but cites no proof of the assertion. The History of North Brookfield, in the genealogical part, which was prepared by the careful Charles Adams, states that he came as a boy of fourteen, and was at Scituate in 1667. The records of the town of Scituate do not mention his name till the war of 1675-6. A list of inhabitants in 1672 does not contain his name. These things prevent us from fixing the time of his arrival by any positive proof; but they all co-ordinate with the theory of his coming as a boy, since he would be "able to bear arms" at sixteen years of age, and yet not old enough to vote or be made a "townsman" in 1672. There is no record of the ma.n in any other plantation of New Engl!lnd or any list of passengers to America; so the tradition and the English researches are our best recourse. As the article on English Ancestry has fully discussed that phase of the question and the writer's opinion has been given distinctly there, it is only necessary to say here that he believes that Richiiird Prouty, the Scituate pioneer, ,vas the son of Richard a11d. Elizabeth (Guest) Prout, born at Rodmarton, Gloucestershire, England, baptized there 30 September, 1652, and that he came to Scituate about the close of the year 1666. FIRST GENERATION 13 Having no inherited property he was dependent wholly on his own exertions for a living. It was slow work acquiring lands and buildings. He gained the hand of a daughter of one of the leading men of the township, a magistrate and representative to the Plymouth General Court, and this alliance doubtless helped to bring out his native capability and give him standing. December 27, 1683, the town granted to Peter Woodelike "four or five acres of upland at the north side of the Common feild that Jacob Bum.pas and Richard Proutie hath broken up." This shows that he had been industriously cultivating the soil and was ph:i.nning to ma.ke use of some of the lands of the town. But he was not content till he obtained a homestead. This he established on Hoop-pole Hill, one of the pleasantest eminences in Scituate. The two following grants of land are very interesting. " Situate May 1692 Laid out to Richard Proutie Twenty acres of Land Ten acres thereof By order from Ensigne Israel Chittenden granted to said Chittenden by the Towne agence as sucssor of Oliver Calloway and Ten acres of said Twenty By Order from James Torry as successor to his ff ather 15 acres of said 20 Lyeth on or neare a place called Hooppoll hill Beginning at a stack* standing on the N orwardly side of the Cart Way and runeth on that side the Cart Way about 20 Rods and soe a Crosse said Cart Way and Continuing that poynt neare West 110 Rods to a Beech Tree then Runeth 24 Rods neare south to abraham Suttliffes Corner Stack then Runeth neare East with said Suttliffes line and the same poynt over hoppoll hill 110 Rods to a Blackoake Tree on hoppoll hill then Runeth neare north 20 Rods to the first stack Contayning 15 acres of Land." "Sittuate :\Iay the 4: 1694 ,vhereas Wee Laid out Twenty acres of Land to Richard Prouty in ~fay, 1692 purchased of severall men as by Record thereof may appeare ffi veteen acres of said Land Lying on or neare a place called Hooppoll hill and the other five acres Lying by a Cart Way neare the Poundsell Land The which said five acres the said Richard Proutv., hath cast to the Comons *Stack, Stake. 14 THE PROUTY GENEALOGY againe and hath taken it up by his 15 acres at hooppoll hill on the Eastward side of the highway Beginning at a marked whitt oak neare Joseph Hinkmans Range and Runeth neare nor east ½ a poynt East 20 Rods to a marked warnut Tree then Runeth neare nor West ½ a poynt west 48 Rods to a marked Red oak neare a swampe then Ryneth neare souwest ½ a poynt south 19 Rods to the foresaid highway And-_. soe Leaving a highway through the Land the whole 48 Rods to the first Corner Tree." Another tract was laid out to him July 5, 1698, consisting of five acres upland and one acre swamp, on the northwest side of his farm. Hoop-pole Hill is about three-quarters of a mile westerly from the sout_h (Unitarian) meetinghouse, in that section of the old town which was incorporated as South Scituate and later called Norwell. Dea. Joseph Cushing lived at its eastern base, and the site of his house is shown in the grounds of Mr. H. W. Cushing. The residence of Richard Prouty was part way up the hill, probably, if we_ understand the descrip tions and boundaries given in the old deeds. The ancient road passed on the southern side of the hill, and the home stead was very likely where a clump of bushes still grows.

James Torrey was son of Philip and Alice Torrey, of Combe St. Nicholas, Somersetshire, England, where he was born -in 1612 or 1613, according to his testimony in 1657, that he was "about 44 years old." His elder brother, Capt. William Torrey, of Weymouth, was placed in charge of certain lands for James' sons after his death. James Torrey can1e to New England in 1637 in the ship with Mrs. Ames, widow of the celebrated "Doctor Ames," and her sons, William a~d John; this was brought out tnrough testimony of Torrey about the voyage. [Plym. Col. Rec. 11, 80.] He was a "clothier." He married at Scituate Novem ber 2, 1643, Ann, daughter of William Hatch, a merchant of Sandwich, England, who came over in 1634 with his wife Jane and five children; was a man of influence at Scituate; he died November 6, 1651, mentioning among others in his will, his granddaughter Damaris Torrey, who was but ten davs old at that date. The widow Hatch became the second wife of lvir~ Thomas King. James Torrey was admitted a freeman of the colony and chosen lieutenant of the Scituate military company in 1655; representative to Plymouth General Court many terms and on important committees; a member of the Council to aid the :Major General in planning the defense of the colony against the Indian foes; and ap pointed a local magistrate, to administer oaths, take testimony, begin suits, marry persons, etc. As lieutenant of the militia he was called upon by the governor of the colony to get ready in a great hurry for an expected engagement \\ith the Dutch, and met with a fatal accident while attending to his duty. A vivid account of the affair is given in the church record of Roxbury. 166.5, July 5. There happened a very sad accident at Situate.

Y earR passed away, and one of his sons, Joseph, died without leaving wife or child; and in the settlement of this estate we find valuable items. In the settlement of the estate of Joseph Torrey, late of Scituate, September 8, 1714, it was ordered that the house and land he had owned should go to his brother Josiah Torrey, he therefore paying to the other Brothers & sisters of the sd Deceased their equall _parts of the sd Estate in such manner as herein following is set Down.

EnwARD (Richard ), born at Scituate September 30, 1679; married December 2, 1701, Elizabeth, daughter of Abraham How,* Jr., and Sarah, his wife, of Roxbury, born November 23, 1678. She received a tract of land at the death of her father, and had another tract in common with her sisters on her mother's death. She sold this April 1, 1719; "Edward Proute of Scituate, yeoman, and Elizabeth his wife, and Abigail How of Boston, single woman" sold "two thirds of six acres of pasture land in Roxbury," etc. We observe that Edward here signed his name "Proute,'' if the recorder reproduced his signature ·accurately. In some other deeds his signature is given as" Prouty." When he administered on the estate of his father the recorder gave the name as " Proutee.'' So careless were even educated people at that day that we have to use a good deal of latitude ~ determining the true spelling of names. Edward Prouty was chosen on the jury February 14, 1709- 1710. He was a," cordwainer," i.e. shoemaker, as many of his descendants have been. He died at a comparatively early age, in the autumn of the year 1726. His estate was administered on by his son and namesake Siptember 13, 1726, and division made two years later. May 21, 1744, the widow Elizabeth with her son Edward and Samuel Curtice, made division of lands at Hoop-pole swamp. Children: 5. i. Edward, 3 b. Oct. 6, 1702. ii. Elizabeth, b. May 30, 1704. 6. iii.

Captain Isaac Prouty was a remarkable man. His father dying when the lad was but twelve years old, he was "bound out" to a shoemaker, who covenanted to teach him the trade, clothe him, give him opportunity to attend the district school, and pay him one hundred dollars when he was twenty-one years old. He bought his freed om from the contract when he was nineteen, and went to work as a journeyman. After a while he married; but soon after an employer failed, and the young husband received only $120 for $1200 due for his laborious toil. His good mother-in-law said wisely to him.: " Isaac, you must not let this discourage you; you are young and can earn more." He took the advice and persevered till he was at the head of the town's largest industry. From very small quarters at North Spencer he advanced to a well equipped shop, five stories high, at Spencer center, and from 98 THE PROUTY GENEALOGY acting distributer of work for neighbors to the head of a great boot and shoe-making house with interstate reputation and high standing. Three of his sons, Lewis Wilder, George Porter and Charles Newton, were in due time admitted to partner ship with him, and the eldest of these became general manager. In 1872 the father and this son both died of pneumonia within a few days, causing the firm a severe strain. But the father's indomitable spirit and tremendous energy was inherited by the three sons who survived, and they continued the expansion of the business; in the next fourteen years the out put of the factory increased fourfold; in 1894 the house was incorporated as Isaac Prouty & Co., and goes on strongly. Captain Prouty was a serious, hard-working man, diligent and practical; he gave little attention to sport and relaxation; his life was an illustration of the value of toil and economy to one'.s self and to the community where he dwells; Spencer has received large increase in population and wealth through Captain Prouty's persistent and successful career and that of the sons and grandsons, developed along his pathway and the progress of the house he founded.

APPENDIX CoNTAINING FAMILY GROUPS WHICH WE BELIEVE TO BE BRL~CHF.S OF THE STOCK OF RICHARD PROUTY OF SCITUATE, BUT WHICH HAVE NOT YET BEEN TRACED BY THEffi MEMBERS TO POINTS WHERE THE COMPILER OF THIS GENEALOGY COULD ESTABLISH THE CONNECTION. THEY ARE CLAIMED AS KINDRED BUT PLACED IN THIS APPENDIX FOR THE SIMPLE REASON THAT THERE WAS NO OTHER WAY OF ARRANGING THEM. THE PUBLICATION OF THE GENEALOGY IS VERY LIKELY TO MAKE IT AN EASY TASK FOR MOST, IF NOT ALL, TO BE SATISFACTORILY TRACED IN COMING DAYS. ABIAL PROUTY is known to us only from the mention in the death record of Samuel Prouty of Hingham that he was the "son of Abial Prouty." No other mention of this name has been found in any docu ment. It may be presumed that he was the son of some one of the de scendants of Richard Prouty of Scituate, whose records, as far as dis covered, are presented in the foregoing genealogy; but that he failed to be placed on record in the town or church register of the place where he was born, and was not referred to in any other public paper. 1. SAMUEL (Abial) stated in his death record in Hingham to have been "son of Abial Prouty," lived a i:et life in Hingham. He married a wife whose Christian name only come down to us, - "Sarah"; she died, his widow, Jan. 27, 1821, "aged 55 years." He died May 1, 1802, and the History of Hingham is authority for the statement that he was "about 40 years old." Children of Samuel and Sarah Prouty: i. Rebecca,5 b. Jan. 23, 1793; m.

ANDREW liALL5 (Bardin H.,' Nathaniel,3 Samuel,2 AbiaZ1), born at Hingham Dec. 6, 1847; married at Cohasset May 16, 1873, Isabella F., daughter of George P. and Rebecca (Snow) Freeman, born at Duxbury July 12, 1856. ,vhen he was fourteen years old he went to sea as a "boy" in the fishing schooner Georgiana, Levi Creed, master. O.n the 14th of May, 1862, she was run into by a large barque. The captain and seamen of the Georgiana, supposing she was sinking, climbed on board the barque while the vessels were together, and were carried along safely in the fog or darkness which obscured everything. Not so the boy. He was forgotten by all his shipmates in their hurry to save themselves, and was left alone on board the disabled smack. But, nothing daunted, he stood up to the test and seized the helm in manly fashion. vVithout chart or pilot he steered the best he could estimate, peering through the dark and guessing by day, and made his way toward New Bedford, the intended port. Before he reached it he was sighted by a whale ship, returning from her cruise, whose seamen thought tJiey could get a good bit of money APPENDIX 199 for salvage of the schooner, which at first appeared to have been aban doned. But when they saw the boy steering, and heard his account of the collision and the desertion of the captain and crew, they tried to tempt the boy to come to them and let them have the craft, offering him $100 if he would give her up to them. But he steadfastly refused, saying again and again, "This is John Bates's schooner, and I'm going to take her in to New Bedford for him." And so he did. The story is told in the History of Cohasset as a piece of interesting history of the people of that town. He learned the business of trunk making. Resided at Duxbury some years; removed to Cohasset again. · Children: 1. Burton Hall,8 b. July 12, 1874; drowned July 29, 1890. ii. Martha Alma, b.. at Duxbury May 11, 1879; in the spring of 1897 the Boston H e:ral,d offered prizes for the three most beautiful women of New England, as appeared from their photogra_J)hs sent in to the editors in charge of this depart ment. In the issue of May 12, 1907, the announcement was duly made that Miss Martha Alma Prouty of Cohasset had been adjudged one of the three, and a prize of $100.00 in gold would be paid her. Her photograph had been sent to the H e:ral,d by three several persons, unknown to each other. A reproduction of this, covering_ almost an entire page of the H e:rald, was presented. Miss Prouty has filled a business position in Boston for several years. 15.

BELA PROUTY, of Scituate, does not appear in any other record of that region, so far as the writer has been able to discover, except the rolls of soldiers in the Revolution which are in the archives of the State of Massachusetts. There is no reason to doubt, however, that he is the same as "Bele Prouty" who resided at Westmoreland, N. H., and bought land there Dec. 3, 1789. He married at Keene, N. H., Nov. 27, 1796, Hepzibah Towne of K.; she joined him in a deed of land in 1798. He removed to Chester field, N. H., where he died in 1836, bequeathing his estate to his later wife "}Iary," and after her death to "her heirs." Mrs. Mary Prouty died at Keene Oct. 15, 1859, "aged, 93 years." She was "a pensioner," which identifies her as Bele's widow; her estate went to her children, Naomi Dodge, Mary Breed, Otis, William and Benjamin Olcott, Harriet Cary, and Almira Wooster.
