Paternal Ancestry GRANBERRY AND ALLIED FAMILIES
THE GRANBERRY FAMILY
The chief object in beginning this partial genealogy of the Granberry family was to preserve the records collected by ithe late Rev. Stephen Henry Granberry. The latter's son-in-law, Edgar Francis \Vaterman, Esq., became interested, however, and, in addition to collecting further data from family sources, employed. a Virginia genealogist, Mr. Floyd W. Sydnor, of Rich mond, to undertake an investigation of the origins of the family in the public records of Virginia, North Carolina, and Georgia. Mr. Sydnor copied or abstracted a large number of records, forming a collection of basic data which will be deposited at the Connecticut Historical Society in Hartford, where it can be referred rt:o by those interested in the family. In the present volume, the reference (D) indicates docurnenitary evidence to be found in this collection. The g'enealogist, Donald Lines Jacobus, of New Haven, has compiled the material in the two collections, the family data and that obtained from public record sources, into loosely-knit pedigrees of the several branches of the family. In sections where the information at hand was meagre, he has attempted to round it out by obtaining data from the U. S. Census returns, chiefly those of 1850 and 1860, from places not embraced in Mr. Sydnor's research. A complete account of all branches of the family to date was never con templated, and, outside of the immediate branch to which Mrs. Waterman belongs, the lines have seldom been brought very far this side of 1870. Lt is nevertheless believed that a useful purpose is served in making public all the Granberry data collected, rather than to limit publicationr to the direot ancestral line in which we are personally interested. By utilizing the records herein given, most living members of the family should be wble, with very Ettle effort, to connect their own lines with the earlier generations. That we have left many branches imperfectly recorded, with incomplete lists of chil dren and only approximate dates of birth obtained from census records, is due in some measure to the apathy of those who might have furnished their family records to fill out our account, but who failed to respond to requests for information. The list of Sources which follows will convey an idea of the magnitude of the work, imperfect though it be. vVhen references to these sources are given at the end of family groups, it must not be assumed that our account is based 2 THE GRANBERRY FAMILY AND ALLIED FAMILIES
upon the cited sources entirely or even chiefly. The chief source is sometimes the documentary material indicated by the reference (D) in the text, or census records cited in the text, or, when not otherwise indicated, the collections from private family sources made by Rev. Mr. Granberry or by Mr. Water man. In faot, we do not invariably follow the statements made in the sources referred to, and give the references in such cases merely to indicate that we have consulted (and on occasion rejected) them. We are under special obligation for material from family sources to Miss Elva Berenice Colglazier, of Austin, Texas, and to Julian Hastings Granbery, Esq., of Machias, Maine. The latter, when he learned of our contemplated volume, expressed anxiety that in including his branch our account should conform to old family records in his possession, of which he sent copies. We wish it to be understood, however, that although records received from him are listed in our sources and have been utilized, he has no responsibility whatever for this volume or for the accuracy or authenticity of any records as published herein.

Part I
EARLY GENERATIONS
Like so many Virginia families, the early generations of the Granberry family cannot be presented with exactitude because of the paucity of records. The problem of putting 'together a connected pedigree is intensified in the case of the Granberry family, because from the first generation in which the sur name appears, there was more than one male head of the family who could have fathered all or part of those of the succeeding generation. We have arranged the early individuals of the name into three tentative generations. In the first generation we have placed the two, William and John, who were of adult age in the 1650's. In the second generation we have placed those who appear as adults in records between 1670 and 1700. In the third generation we have placed those who were born about or not long before 1700. Among the last were Moses Granberry, founder of the family in which we are chiefly interested, and John Granbery of Nansemond County, Virginia, who founded two numerous branches, one in North Carolina, the mher in Norfolk County, Virginia. Probably a large majority of the Gran berrys of to-day descend from the said Moses and John, though there may be a few scattered branches, untraced, who descend from some other member of our arbi,trary ,third generation. The only object in creating these arbitrary early generations is to place the early heads of the family in proper time sequence. Since generations cus tomarily overlap, too much or not enough time may have been allowed in individual cases. It is even possible tbat Moses and John, with whom a connected pedigree begins, belong to the fourth rather than to the third gener ation. The several Samuel Granberrys have proved extremely perplexing, and there is no certainty that our placing of them is correct. The names Granberry, Granbury and Cranbury seem to be variant forms of the same surname and were easily confused and interchanged. Nicholas Greenbury and his wife Ann were early settlers in Anne Arundel County, i'viaryland; they had three daughters, of whom Elizabeth, born 25 Sept. 1678, died 3 Mar. 1719, married 2 Sept. 1697, Robert Goldsborough of Ashby, born at Blandford, co. Dorset, England, Dec. 1660, died at Ashby, 25 Dec. 1746. [Maryland Historical Magazine, 36-.319.] Greenbury was probably a differ ent name. The earlier English spelling which, as we shall see, appears in records of the Virginia family, seems to have been Cranbury or Cranbery. The first syllable, meaning a crane (heron) was used in several surnames, such as 6 THE GRANBERRY FAMILY AND ALLIED FAMILIES
Craney (the isle of cranes), Cranfield, Cranmer ( crane's lake), Cranswick, and Cranwell. The Old English form, crana-byrig, meant an earthwork fre quented by cranes, and as such was a place name. The surname doubtless is one of that numerous class derived from place names. It is found, variously spelled, in Devonshire and other counties. The place name is found in Hampshire, where a parish of Cranburye is mentioned in a record of 1551. The personal name occurs as early as 1280, when John de Crennebere was mentioned in a record of Exeter, co. Devon. (Mark Antony Lower, Direc tory of Famjly Names, London ( 1849), p. 74; Berti! Blome, The Place Names of North Devonshire, Uppsala ( 1929), p. 145; Patent Rolls, Edward VI, 1550-1553, vol. 4, p. 167; Devon and Cornwall Notes and Queries, vol. 8, p. 28.] There was no standard of spelling in England or the American colonies before the publication of Dr. Johnson's Dictionary. Names as well as words were spelled largely in accordance with the inclination of the writer. In England we see Wahull or Wodhull corrupted to Odell, with the American families of Woodhull and Odell deriving from either the family or the place. Different lines deriving from the same early American colonist often adopted different spellings of the surname. We see this not only in such slight dif ferences as Munson and Monson, Alling and Allen, but even in such wide variations as Humphreville and Umberfield. A significant variation, because it involves the 'c' and 'g' sounds as with Cranbery-Granbery, is that of Throckmorton-Throgmorton. How our family spelled the name at the time of emigration is not known. It appears in Virginia records as Granbery, Granberry, Grandberry, Grand bury, Cranbury, and Cranberry, according to the taste of various recorders. Of the two main branches of the family, one (Norfolk County, Virginia) early settled on the spelling Granbery, while the other (which mocved from Norfolk County to North Carolina, Georgia and Mississippi) equally early settled on the spelling Granberry. Quite arbitrarily, we have used the latter spelling in naming those who appear of record before 1700, but in quoting records we have invariably followed the record spelling.
t FIRST GENERATION
1. WILLIAM GRANBERRY WILLIAM GRANBERRY married ANNE---. John Finch received 480 acres in Lower Norfolk County, Va., 1 Oct. 1652, from Gov. Richard Bennett, up the Western Branch of Elizabeth River beginning on M udds Creek, which his adminisitrator sold 12 June 1654 to Thomas Smith of Elizabeth River ; and Smith sold 240 acres of it at Simons Creek to William Granbery and John Granbery of Nansemond, 7 Feb. 1656/7. They sold to William Ellis, 14 Apr. 1667, with Ann wife of William and Elizabeth wife of John. THE GRANBERRY FAMILY 7
He received a patent, 30 Apr. 1679, to 85 acres in Nansemond County, Va., at the head of Mr. Bennett's Creek, beginning at a point upon the Mill Run near an old still house, due him for the transportation of two persons, Margaret Farley and Elizabeth Blake. [Va. Land Office Patent Book, 6-6.] He witnessed a Quaker wedding, Chucatuck, Nansemond County, Dec. 1684. (D) Lis,t of Rent Roll of the land in N ansemond County, 1704: Wm. Grandberry 300 acres Anne Grandberry 75 acres
It is possible that the above Anne was widow of the first William, who had a wife of that name; and that the William of 1704 was her son.
2. JOHN GRANBERRY JOHN GRANBERRY married ELIZABETH ---. Of Nansemond, he bought 7 Feb. 1656/7 with William Granbery, land in Lawer Norfolk County, and sold with wife Elizabeth, 14 Apr. 1667. John Grandberry together with William Copheld received a grant of 220 acres in the Lower Parish of Nansemond County, beginning at the head of Bennett's Creek, due them for the transportaJ1:ion of five persons,-Dorothy Wootten, John Merry, John Swancott, John Green, and James Scott; 24 Apr. 1682. [Va. Land Office Patent Book 7-168.] He witnessed a Quaker wedding, Chucatuck, N ansemond County, June 1690. (D)
SECOND GENERATION
3. WILLIAM GRANBERRY WILLIAM GRANBERRY married SARAH---. Perhaps son of William [No. 1] and Anne. Sarah wife of William Cranbury of James River in "Nantzimum" in the "island of Virginia" was given a warming pan in the will, 25 Aug. 1697, of James Mongomery of that place. ( X-11)
4. SAMUEL GRANBERRY SAMUEL GRANBERRY married [ ?ELINOR ---]. Mr. Samuel Grandbury received 125 acres in N ansemond County, Va., 26 Apr. 1670, by grant of the Governor, Sir William Berkeley. [Va. Land Office Paitent Book 6-333.] Robert Rowse of Norfolk County, Va., by will 23 Apr. 1687, proved May 1687, gave to brother-in-law Jno Hodges, my plantation "which I have in reversion," now in the tenure of Elinor Cranberry. (D) 8 THE GRANBERRY FAMILY AND ALLIED FAMILIES
In 1706 the Chucatuck Meeting of Friends, Nansemond County, Va., dis owned one of their members for drinking and talking abusively to Samuel Granbery. (D) The last record, of 1706, perhaps belongs to Samuel [No. 7], possibly his son. If the Elinor named in 1687 was a widow, and if she was widow of Samuel, he died before that date; it will be noted that Samuel [No. 7] named a daughter Elinor, possibly for his mother.
S. JOHN GRANBERRY JOHN GRANBERRY married between 1696 and 1704, ANN SPIVEY. John Granbery and Ann, his wife, of Nansemond County, Va., on 13 July 1704, sold to Moses Prescott 100 acres in Norfolk County, Va., which the said Ann had been bequeathed by Major John Nicholls. Witnesses: Nathaniel] Wilder, Matthew Spivy, Sarah Spivy, Judith Nicholls, Hend Foster. John Nichols of the ·western branch of Elizabeth River in Nor folk County, Va., being aged, in his will da,ted 11 Nov. 1696, proved 17 May 1697, named wife J udeth; son-in-law Mathew Spivey, son of present wife J udeth Nichols; daughter-in-law Ann Spivye, daughter of said wife Judith, 100 acres at the North West River. Witnesses: Tho Russell, Eleazer Tart, Mathew Spivy, Wm Tart, Mala Thruston. (D) Matthew Spivey of Norfolk County, in his will dated 16 Feb. 1718, proved 15 May 1719, named his six children, Sarah, Judith, Thomas, Elizabeth, Matthew, and George, and his mother Mrs. Judith Nichols. (D) The will of Judith Nicholls, dated 26 Oct. 1720, proved 19 May 1721, named the children of her son Mathew dec'd, and named Sarah, Judath, Tamer, Mathew and Elizabeth; cousin John Bowers. ( D)
6. PETER GRANBERRY He with John Spivey and others witnessed the will of John Keaton of Nansemond County, Va., dated 15 Sept. 1702, proved 27 Oct. 1702. (D)
THIRD GENERATION
7. SAMUEL GRANBERRY SAMUEL GRANBERRY married ALICE Ivv. Samuel Granbery appears in Norfolk County, Va., 16 May 1718, and 1 Jan. 1718/19. Apparently he was a church warden, for he entered a complainrt to the court on a bastardy charge. (D) Ursula Ivy of Princess Ann County, Va., for love to Samuel Grandberry and my daughter Alice Grandberry, his wife, as also to Ursi11a, Alis, Elinor, Ann and Sarah Granberries daughters of Samuel and Alice, conveyed to them 5 Jan. 1725/6, 100 acres, part of tract of 400 acres patented 26 Apr. 1684 THE GRANBERRY FAMILY 9 by William Chichester, including the house which Ursula Ivy built; witnesses, James Nimmo, Arthur Blake. (D) Samuel may also have been father of Samuel [No. 10], born after 1726.
Children:

He was a Baptist miniS1ter, l~ving near Opelika, Ala. (F-7) He was taxed in Warren County, Ga., in 1818 on 1 poll and 210 acres at Forts Creek, and also for Nimrod Yarbrough, 1 poll. ' They were "both of the State of Georgia .... moved to Mississippi, when Richmond was in his sixth year [ 1822-3]. After a residence of a few years in Missi'S,sippi they returned to Georgia, moving to Alabama in 1837, but during their declining years decided to again return to Georgia and pass their last years in that State. Thomas Granberry was a well known Baptist preacher, and of Irish descent." (X-2) The Census records show that Thomas moved about 1835 from Georgia to Alabama. The 1820 Census sho.ws that the residence of Thomas in Missis sippi was a trifle earlier than indicated in the biographical account of his son Richmond; for in 1820 Thomas Granberry was listed in Covington County, Miss., his family consisting of 1 m. and 1 f. 16-26, and 2 males under 10. 22 THE GRANBERRY FAMILY AND ALLIED FAMILIES

(F-12) "He was raised by his Brother, Louami, and lived in Twiggs Co., Ga., until 1828 when he moved to Harris Co. where he died in 1854. The family, at least Louami, father's Brother, was in very limited circumstances. My father was an unlettered man, but of fine common sense.

WILLIAM MASSENGILL GRANBERRY (Jesse Dykes7, Stephen6, Moses5 , James4, Moses3), born in the Midway community, Hinds Co., Miss., 14 July 1844, died at Terry, Miss., Sunday, 15 Mar. 1942; married at Dry Grove, Hinds Co., Miss., 20 Feb. 1870, MARY ANN GRAN BERRY [16, v], born at Raymond, Miss., 13 Nov. 1839, died at Terry, Miss., 8 June 1900, daughter of Moses and Mary Ann (Warner) Granberry. He enlisted at Vicksburg, Miss., 31 July 1862, as a Private in Co. A, 1st Regit. (\Vithers') Artillery, Confederate States Army; captured at Vicksburg, 4 July 1863, and paroled 7 July 1863; surrendered by Lt.-Gen. R. Taylor, C. S. A., 4 May 1865, and paroled 12 May 1865. (W-2) His enlistment record states his age as 18; residence, Raymond, Mis,s. ; farmer; height, 5 feet 5 inches; fair complexion, dark hair and grey eyes. He served under Captann Samuel J. Ridley, and beSlides other engagements was in ,the Ba,ttle of Champion Hill, 1863, where Captain Ridley was killed. As the Confederate Army retreated to Vicksburg, the Company went into the Siege, First Lieut. Charles K. Hooker acting as Captain. Johnston suc ceeded as acting Captain, the other First Lieut., W. T. Ratliff, having been detached a few days before the Champion Hill battle to the captaincy of Company C, with which he went into Vicksburg. Company A and Company C were on the Jackson road, where the Redan was blown up, and they, with suppor,ting Infantry, successfully defended the posit,ion by which the Federal troops had expected to ,gain an entrance into the city. Thus Mr. Granberry took part in one of the most decisive incidents of the entire war. There were no finer troops in Vicksburg than the members of these two companies. 48 THE GRANBERRY FAMILY AND ALLIED FAMILIES When paroled, after the surrender of Vicksburg, they were sent to parole camp at Demopolis, Alabama, and finally exchanged. The company was then reorganized at camp, where the fair is now ( 1942) held at Jackson, W. T. Ra:Hiff being elected Captain, and went back info active service, again bearing the beloved flag of the Confederacy which the ladies of Jackson had presented to them at their first organization. This flag was finally presented to the Department of Archives and History, with the battles of the company printed upon it. Near the end of the war, the company participated in a minor skirmish about four miles from Jackson, Miss. Mr. Granberry foHowed the flag until its final surrender in 1865, Captain Ratliff signing his last parole of dismission. He, with others of ,the company, lived up to the "Final Order," affectionately given to their Captain by Col. William Percy: "Go home and make as fine and loyal a citizen of the United States as you have a Soldier of the Confederacy." In 1866 he attended Soule Business College, New Orleans, La. He (aged 27) and his wife, called "Mollie" ( aged 29), were listed in the 1870 Census directly under the family of her father, "M. Granberry." Mr. Granberry was a machinist, and was a successful operator of a cotton gin in the agricul tural section which was his home community. After the death of his wife, he moved his family in 1901 to Terry. He became a member of the firm of Granberry Bros. Co., dealers in general merchandise, Hazlehurst, Miss., with which his two elder sons were also connected. He was a devout member of the Baptist Church, and in 1896 was elected Deacon of the Terry Baprist Church. He attended services regularly as long as his health permitted. At the time of his death, he was living with his daughters, Mrs. Dennis and Miss Annie Granberry, at the home of the former. His life was marked by consistent Chrristian conduct in everyday living. "In the early hours of the Sabbath day, his spirit slipped into the other world and his frail body found rest after almost a century of sojourning here..... Final rites were conducted from the Terry Baptist Church, Monday morning at 11 o'clock and interment was made ,in the Terry cemetery. Rev. R. L. Wallace of Raymond, a former pastor at Terry and a close friend of the deceased, conducted the service. Beall/tiful flowers filled the section of the auditorium about the casket, and ..... the preacher spoke of this venerable gentleman who typified the writer, Paul-'The time of my departure is at hand ..... I have fought a good fight, I have kept the faith.' " Among the floral offerings was a bouquet of home-grown blossoms from the garden of Miss Mary Ratliff of Raymond, daughter of his war-time commander, of whose company he was the last survivor.

H. Gmnberry- At Crystal Sprrings, Mr. Granberry formed a strong and lifelong friendship with a young man whose name was ·William B. Cooper. A fellow clerk was a member of the Episcopal Church, and through his influence young Gran berry and his friend Cooper became interested in the ministry of that church. Mr. Granberry was baptized and confirmed in Christ Church, Vicksburg, Miss., by the Rt. Rev. WiUiam Mercer Green, D.D., Bishop of the Diocese of Mississippi, on 20 l\fay 1870. He immediately applied for, and was admitted as a candidate for Deacon's Orders, and with his friend William B. Cooper arrived at Nashotah Theological Seminary in Nashotah, Wis., on 7 June 1870 to begin hiis studies. Having passed his canonical examinations for Priest's Orders on 27 Seprt:. 1870, he entered, two days later, the Junior Class. While in the Seminary, he and Cooper spent one of their summer vacations on a trip into the Northwest which a,t that time was virgin country. They reached the Hudson Bay courntry, floating down the Red River by raft. At Nashotah during his course, from Sept. 1870 to May 1873, he attended every lecture, three a day. During his Senior year, he was licensed as a Lay Reader, as follows: DIOCESE OF WISCONSIN I hereby License and A,ppoint Stephen Henry Granberry to officiate as Lay Reader in the Congregation of Holy Innocents', Pine Lake, under the supervision of the Rev.

That Fall, while at Terry, Miss., he received the offer of a Parish in Columbia, Mo., which Bishop C. F. Robertson of St. Louis advised him to consider favorably, but notJhing came of it, although on 3 March 1874, just before his ordinaition, Bishop Robertson wrote again, asking if he could "not be induced to come now" to Columbia. He was ordained Priest by Bishop Green in St. Andrew's Church, Jackson, Miss., 20 March 1874. That year he spent in change of St. Paul's Associate Mission at Terry, Miss., which was under the direction of the Jackson Con vocation. Here his interest in the colored race won for him the noble title of "Apostle to the Negroes." On 1 Aug. 1874, Mr. Granberry resii:gned his charge of St. Paul's Mission and went ;to Trinity Church in New Orleans, La., as Assistant to the Rev. Samuel S. Harris, D.D., who was its Reotor. Trinity Church was then the largest Episcopal pari:sh in the south. A little over a year later, Doctor Harris became Bishop of Michigan, and Mr. Granberry had charge of the parish until 1 Dec. 1875 when the new Rector, the Rev. Hugh Mtiller Thomp son, assumed office. During this interregnum the yellow fever epidemic swept over the city. Much of Mr. Granberry's time was spent reading thE; burial service over the victims of this scourge until he himself was stricken down by ~t. Though requested to remain, he resigned and retired for a rest in order to restor,e his health. Soon after he received an invitation to the pastorate of Trinity Church in St. Louis, Mo., one of the largest parishes in 56 THE GRANBERRY FAMILY AND ALLIED FAMILIES that city, but declined on account of his health. He also received overtures while in New Orleans, from Portland, Ore., and from St. Lazarus Parish' Memphis, Tenn. ' He was active in caring for the congr·egation of Trinity Church Chapel, attached to his New Orleans parish. On 21 Feb. 1875, the Trinity Chapel CongTegation adopted the foHowing resolution: vVher,eas the Reator of this Parish, Revd. Dr. Harris, has secur,ed the p,romis,e of assistance to this Congregation ..... an{] as the Ass.istant Minister in charge of this Chapel, the Revd. Mr. Granberry has most generously off,ered to remain with us, depend ing on the voluntary contributiorrs of this Congregation for his support, be it there fore ..... Resol7Jed, that this Congregation ptedge itself, both as individuals and as a Corporation to Contribute to the utmost extent in their power, the requi,.-;ed money needed to conduct the Servioes in this Chapel, as heretofore. On 16 Feb. 1876, he was called to the Rectorship of St. John's Churoh in Decatur, Ill., which he accepted, and assumed charge of that parish on 26 Feb. of ithait: year. He was a member of ithe Examining Commi,ttee at Decatur High School in Dec. 1876. Among Mr. Granberry's papers was found an account of his early life in the ministry, written in his own handwriting. It reads as follows: Events relating to and connected with the ministerial life. 1. May 20, 1870.

Took charge of Trinity Parish on the res,ignation of Dr. Harris, Sept. 1, 1875, and relinquished charge of the Parish on acceptance of the rectorshi? by the Rev. Hugh Miller Thompson, Dec. 1, 1875. 12. Accepted rectorship of St. John's Church, Decatur, Ill., Feb. 26, 1876. February, 1877, he became Assistant to Dr. Fuller in St. Paul's Church, Milwaukee, \Vis., where he remained a little over a year, when he accepted a call to be Rector of Grace Church in Carthage, N. Y. Here he served for one year. On his appointment as Assistant to Bishop Huntington, he took charge on 7 Oct. 1879 of St. John's Chapel, Syracuse, N. Y., at the special desire of the Bishop. While here the Chapel was destroyed by fire. Mr. Granberry was eating supper about two blocks away, rushed to the scene, and saved the regiister. Largely through his efforts, St. John's Church, a much larger and finer edifice, was erected. It was opened 6 Aug. 1882, and Mr. Granberry preached from Psalms, 122 :1: "I was glad when they said unto me, let me go into the house of the Lord." His work among the poor here was highly praised. In 1881 he had a four months' leave of absence, and traveled in Europe. Between 1878 and 1880, he had overtures from several parishes, including Springfield, Mo., Galesburg, Ill., Rolling Fork, Miss., Loganspor,t, Ind., and Grace Church, \Vaterville. On 2 May 1883, he was elected First Assistant to the Rector of St. Ann's Church in Brooklyn, N. Y., where he remained less than a year. He attended the Consecration of Bishop Potter of the Diocese of New York as Assistant Bishop, 20 Oct. 1883. Mr. Granberry's real life work began on 9 April 1884 when by the unani mous vote of the Vestry he was offered the Rectorship of St. Barnabas' Church, located in Ros,eville on the corner of Sussex and Myrtle Avenues in Newark, N. J. The Society had been organized in 1853 and the Church consecrated by the Bishop of the Diocese, 23 July 1854. The first Rector was VI/. A. Leach, and in 1855 the Superintendent of the Sunday School, then numbering fifty or sixty pupils, was John M. Livingston. The land for the church edifice was donated by Aaron Peck of Orange, and the build ing was located in a delightful grove. In 1862 the building was destroyed by fire. It was rebuilt in 1864, and extensive improvements were made in 1869. The Rector, Mr. Flichtner, was retiring in the spring of 1884, and Mr. Granberry was i11V1ited to preach there on the first Sunday in April. He would have preferred to be heard at St. Ann's by a committee from the church, disliking to be "in competition" for the vacancy, but that was incon venient and he was persuaded to accept the invitation to preach in Newark, resulting in the immediate offer of the Rectorship. He took charge on Easter Monday, 14 April 1884. Under his guidance the parish increased in size and influence, and filled an important place in the life of the community. His relations with all were helpful and cordial, and he was beloved by his fellow 58 THE GRANBERRY FAMILY AND ALLIED FAMILIES ole~gymen of all denominations. The last of the mortgage, which had been resting on the church property since 1869, was paid in 1899, and on November 5th of that year the mortgage was burned at the top of the chancel steps at the morning service. The church celebrated its Golden J ub:ilee in 1903. During Mr. Granberry's incumbency a large parish house was built, the comer~sitone of which was laid 6 Oct. 1889, the rectory was remodeled, a stone t01Wer and a new choir room were added to the church, and a new heating plant was installed in the ohurch, as well as a costly organ and a beautiful memorial brass pulpit. An endowment fund was accumulated. Some of Mr. Granberry's sermons were published. One was on "Our Quadri-Centennial" in 1892, another was "The Cry of the Submerged Soul" delivered in Oct. 1897. Vv e quote a characteristic passage from the former: From 'square and flagstaff, from house and hill top, the labarum of our land, the star spangled ba!ll!ler, will float full and free. That emblem of Amerka was born amid the tnavail pangs of men st'fiiving to bring our republic into being. That flag, though most ornamental of all national ensigns, is not mainly £or omamem. It stands for deeper and higher things. Those of us who have seen the Stars and Stripes, struggling and swaying amidst the smoke and jar of bat,tle----even though the point of view of some of us was on the ernanguined field hene3'th the weather worn a:nd bullet torn folds, now furled and fallen, of the Bonnie Blue Flag-realize that the conquering banner, then and now, is the symbol of the es'senicial elements of the great Amer Resolution of Vestry of St. BarnaJbas' Church. April 22, 1915. BE IT RESOLVED-That the Vestry of St. Barnabas' Church, speaking for itself and feeling assured that in so doing it is voicing the s,ellltiments of every incliividrual member of the pari'sh, desfres to place on record its profound regr,et at the resignation of the Rev. Stephen H. Granberry, Rector of the Parish:- That, for the high quality of the work aDcomplished by him, his deviotion to his duties, his honesty and singlenes'S of purpose, his business, 'Sanity, and his arduous and continued labors in the exacting post which he has so long filled, nothing but the highest p1rai'se can be expres1sed :- That, the high ideab, generosity, kindly sympathy, and Christian forbearance which he has ev,er exemp1ified in his daily wurk and in his life, have endeared him to all with whom he had been brought in contact :- That, in the severance of the exi'st,ing relations, the Vestry feels that the Parish is sustaining a heavy los:s, andi one not easily to be made good:- and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED-That the foregoing resolut,ions be spread upon the minutes of the Ve,stry, andi tha,t a copy of them, signed by each member of the Vestry, be delivered to Mr. Granberry.

A farewdl reception was tendered to him at the Parish House, 30 June 1915. While residing in Newark, Mr. Granberry t,ook a keen pleasure in the companionship of 1Jhe Confederate Veteran Camp of New York, and was a regular attendant at its meetings. He was e1ected its Chaplain on 26 Jan. 1897, which office he filled for many years thereafter. He was one of the founders of "The Clericus" in 1884. This was an ass'ocia.tion of clergymen, limited to thirty, residing in or near New York City. He was president of the o~ganization in 1895-6. He married on 16 Nov. 1892 ,in Harrtford, Conn., Helen Woodward who was born on 29 June 1868 in South Windham, Conn., the daughter of P. Henry and Mary (Smith) Woodward of Hartford. The ceremony was 60 THE GRANBERRY FAMILY AND ALLIED FAMILIES performed by Rev. Storrs 0. Seymour, ass,isted by Rev. Richard Hayward. The wedding trip included stops in Washington, D. C., and Old Point Com fort, Va. Upon their return to Newark, the congregation gave them a reception in the Parish House, attended by about two hundred. After resigning from his parish in Newark, Mr. and Mrs. Granberry made their home in Hartford, Conn., where their daughter, Mrs. Edgar F. W3Jter man, and Mrs. Granberry's family resided. Much of their time they spent in travel, and enjoyed a well-earned leisure. Among their pleasurnble trips was one around the world on the Laconia, in 1922, a:nd a West Indies cruise on the Orea in 1924. Mrs. Gran!berry died in Hartford, Conn., on 15 August 1927. Mr. Gran berry died in that city on 12 August 1928.

On October first he went to his office as usual and made his calls on the sick in the hospitals and in their homes, had his lunch down town and returned to his office for his afternoon appoint ments. Shortly after noon he left his office, saying that he was not feeling very well and was going home to rest a short while.

JoHN3 GRANBERY, born probably before 1700, died 25 Dec. 1733; married 26 Feib. 1722/3, ABIGAIL LANGLEY, who died 29[ ?] Feb. 1763, daughter of Thomas Langley, and granddaughter of Thomas and Elizia:beth (Thelabell) Langley. She married second, Robert Hargroves. They lived in Nansemond County, Virginia. The births of their children and many other records are found in a book now (1943) owned by Julian Hastings Granbery, Esq., of Machias, Maine. It is called the "Journal of Abigail Langley" and consists now of 57 numbered pages (3¼ x 7¼ in.) bound in stiff white tooled skin with a flap and a bronze clasp. At the top of the first page is written, "John Chillcott His Booke 1694." On page 5 is written:* 1708 John Granibery Junior his Book God him Grace therein to Look Amen On pa:ge 16 is written: May the 23th day 1733 Sambo my negro boy was Judged by the Court to be eight years of age John Granbery The births of the children are entered in the same handwriting, except the birth of the youngest child, which was entered by his wife Abigail, who also wrote: I I•' In the year 1733 my dear an loving husband departed this He£ on the 25 day of desember AbigaiJ Granbery The use of the designation "Junior" by John Granbery lends credence to the belief that he was proibaibly son of John and Ann (Spivey) Granbery, although it must be remembered that it was the usage of that period to apply the terms Senior and Junior in their literal meaning of "older" and "younger" to distinguish between men of the same name regardless of relationship. Hence it was applied to uncle and nephew, and to cousins, as well as to father and son. * Mr. Granhery very kindly sent the compiler data which have Ueen incorporated in tbe account previously prepared of the John Granbery family, but he is not responsible for the accuracy of such data as transcribed and published in the present volume. THE GRANBERRY FAMILY 65 His widow remarried and died as Abigail Hargraves in 1763. Her book came to her daughter, Mary (Granbery) Cowper, who died in 1814, but before her death she gave it to her nephew John Granbery, son of her brother Josiah. John Granbery made the following entry under the entry of the death of Abigail Hargraves: kbigail Hargroves was the wife of my Grandfather John Granbery,------4:hey 1ivsed near Hargroves, now Hutton's Mills the house was off the road, on the Mill run-this was the plantation or estate. Lt appears that he, J{)lhn Granbery, was a planter & trader- that the farm produced Tobacco in those eaJrly days-Hogsheads of 400 to 500 pounds. Thiis book my old aunt Cowper gave to me in 1806. It appears to be wriitten by my Grandmother Abigail Granbery who,se maiden name was' Langley . . . . . In December 1733 my GrandfaVher died-his widow married Robert Hargroves.

Although the eldest son, the Journal of Abigail (Langley) Granibery descended to the family of his next brother, Josiah, and it contains some account of the other brothers but not of him. It may therefore lbe surmised that he died in youth or not beyond middle age, and that he did not leave a family. He may, however, be the Thomas Granbery who was a vestryman of Trinity Protesitant Episcopal Church, Portsmouth, Norfolk Co., Va., in 1761. 3.

N. C.) and Elizabeth Griffin ( aged 52, b. Miss.). Choctaw County, Alabama S. Granbury, aged 24, a mechanic, born in Georgia, was listed in the 1850 Census as working for William Rowe (aged 24, a mechanic, b. Ala.). W. L. Granberry, aged 35, born in Georgia, Planter, was listed in the 1860 Census with Dolly Granberry, aged 30, born in North Carolina, ·and Sarah Miller, aged 8, born in Alabama. Montgomery, Alabama 0. E. Granberry, general foreman of the telephone and telegraph section, electrical division, Panama Canal, in 1920 had a daughter Carolyn, born in Montgomery, Ala., who received much attention from the Prince of Wales at dances given when the Renown was at the Canal Zone, and was considered the "Belle of the Ball" at a dance given for the Prince by the Panama Government. ALLIED FAMILIES CHISHOLM FAMILY (CAPT.) JoHN CHISHOLM, born about 1740, died after 1797; married ------. Captain Chisholm is in some respects the most colorful and picturesque character who appears in our ancestral gallery. He was of the breed of empire-builders, and if the time had been ripe for his ambitious projects to succeed, his name would be known to all the books of American history. It is therefore strange that both his origin and his ultimate fate are shrouded in obscurity. The interesting paper by Kate White entitled "John Chisholm, a Soldier of Fortune" [East Tennessee Hist. Soc. Pub. 1-60 to 66] states flatly that he came to the Watauga-Nolachucky region (in Ten nessee) from South Carolina, and this is followed by S. E. Massengill in his carefully documented "The Massengills, Massengales and Variants" (Bristol, Tenn., 1931, p. 335). But no evidence for the statement has been seen. It is claimed that the South Carolina family of Chisholm was from Drum, Scotland; and Ann Cutbirth, who came from Scotland to South Carolina in 1738 and married first, Patrick Graham, and second, James Bulloch ( son of a Governor of Georgia), remembered in her will in 1762 her two nephews, John and Thomas Chisholm. However, the name appears also in several counties of Virginia. A mar riage bond was issued in Norfolk County to William Chisholm and Sarah Kinner, 19 Jan. 1758 [Virginia County Records, 6-164]. Thomas "Chism," son of John, was born in Culpeper County, Va., about 1766, and died in Franklin County, Ky., 16 Oct. 1857, aged 91 [County Court Note-Book, 3-1]. Considerably earlier, John Chisholm or Chisum, of Amelia and Hali fax Counties, Va., whose birth date may be estimated as about 1710-15, mar ried Elinor Gillington or Guillentine, daughter of Nicholas of Amelia County, and is believed to have had sons John, Obadiah, and Elijah. Thr son Elijah died in White County, Tenn., in 1818, and by wife Lucy had a son, Major James Chisholm, who died in Hardeman County, Tenn., having married Elizabeth Gibbons, born 12 Nov. 1774. [William and Mary College Quar terly, second series, 2-136; County Court Note-Book, 3-23.] In Lunenburg County, Va., not far from Amelia, John Chisholm and Elizabeth Muse entered their marriage bond, 18 Feb. 1772, W. Chisholm signing as surety [William and Mary College Quarterly, firs,t seriies, 9-175]. There is also a record of John Chisholm serving as Private in the company of Capt. William Nalle of Virginia, Lord Dunmore's War of 1774. Whatever his origin, John Chisholm was a Justice of the Washington Dis trict Court in 1777, prior to the organization in 1778 of Washington County 102 THE GRANBERRY FAMILY AND ALLIED FAMILIES (Tenn.), and held that office in 1779. In Aug. 1780 he was fined tlUU for striking and beating Abraham Denton, who was charged with being an active Tory; but the following November took oath as deputy surveyor under James Stuart. He was Representative for Washington County in 1784 at the first convention held by men of the West. Throughout the Franklin State struggle, he remained a strong supporter of its Governor Sevier. The seat of William Blournt's territorial government was at the house of \Villiam Cobb near the present Johnson City, and then removed to Knoxville. John Chisholm went to Knoxville with Blount, and built the first tavern there, on River Street. In 1792 he established a post route. Knox County was created 11 June 1792, and John Chisholm was named a Justice of the Peace by Governor Blount. He seems to have gained his title of Captain in militia service. He was employed by Blount on missions to the Indian tribes at the south. In the spring of 1792 he was a messenger to Alexander McGillivray, chief of the Creek Indians, whom he weaned from the Spaniards, and also to the Cherokees. In the campaign of 1793 he accompanied General Sevier and was useful in giving information of the country. During this period he continued to run his tavern in Knoxville. Blount sent him to the Chickasaws in November, 1795, to restore peace bet~veen them and the Creeks. After Tennessee was admitted to the Union, Governor Sevier used Chisholm among the Indians. Blount became Senator in 1796, and was impeached for conspiring to wrest Louisiana and the Floridas from Spain and seeking English aid in the venture. Chisholm was involved in this conspiracy. He went to London in 1797 and arranged to meet Mr. Pitt and Lord Grenville, but failed to enlist English aid. He disappears thereafter, and if he ever returned to this country probably lived with the Indians in the West. He is described as a large man, with very red hair, and between fifty-five and sixty when he sailed for England. He was pugnacious and liked excite ment. William Davy, a Philadelphia merchant, described him in the impeach ment proceedings: "He was a hardy, lusity, brawny, weather-beaten man..... While drinking porter, he appeared sociable; said he was a back-country man; that he had long lived among the lndians, and was with them during the last war ..... that the Spaniards had frequently impri~oned him and treated him cruelly in Pensacola . . . . . his influence with the Indians was such that he could do with them as he pleased; that he knew every part of the Mississippi ; that there was no man in America who knew the forts and their exact situation so well as himself, and that he was now going to London to accompany and conduct a squadron to the attack of Pensacola; . . . . . that the Spaniards had no posts of any consequence on the whole of the Missis sippi; that one hundred, or one hundred and fifty, a mere handful of men, mig;ht destroy them all." The Captain, in addition to his other accomplish ments, seems to have been something of a braggart; yet it may well be that, given his handful of resolute men, he might have made good his boasts and written a page of history.

To son Benjamin, a cow; to son Pharaoh, a calf; to daughter Elizabeth, a cow. Witnesses: Joseph Dunn, J no. Child. [ Isle of Wight, Book A.] Probably the eldest son Joseph was portioned at marriage, and there may have been older daughters, similarly portioned; "the children that are left" refers to the younger children, still at home. PHARAOH 2 CoBB, born [say 1630-40], died in Isle of Wight County, Va., in 1701; married ANN ---. On 7 Mar. 1656, Elizabeth and Pharaoh Cobb of Isle of Wight sold to Samuel Haswell "land where he liveth." Pharaoh's oldest brother Joseph was dead ait the time, but had left a minor daughter, Elizabeth, who later married Richard Hutchins of Western Branch Parish in Nansemond County. On 4 Feb. 1693, Hutchins and his wife, for 1000 pounds of tobacco conveyed 104 THE GRANBERRY FAMILY AND ALLIED FAMILIES to Richard Reynolds, Jr., reciting that on 10 Apr. 1671 Pharaoh Cobb and Ann his wife had confirmed to George Williams a traot of land in Lower Parish which was sold [ 1656] by Pharaoh Cobb and Elizabeth his mother to Samuel Haswell "and is now in possession of Richard Reynolds, Jr., and Elizabeth his wife the daughter of the said George Williams and lawful inheritrix." About 1678 Pharaoh Cobb of Isle of Wight had a difference with Henry Wiggs over 50 acres sold by "Joseph Cobb, father to Pharaoh," to William Cranage; the difference was settled and Cobb assigned to Wiggs. On 20 Feb. 1686, Pharaoh Cobb, for 1100 pounds of ,tobacco, sold 140 acres for 99 years to John Hole of Devon, gent. JosEPH 3 COBB, born [say 1670], died about 1744; married KATHARINE WHITE HEAD, daughter of Arthur Whitehead. He lived in Isle of Wight County, Va., probably the part which later became Southampton County. The will of Arthur Whitehead named his daughter Catrin wife of Joseph Cobb. [Wills, Southampton County, Q-26.] We follow the line of William4, probably son of Joseph; also that of Mary Cobb, wife of Henry4 Massengill, proba;bly daughter or (more likely) granddaughter of Joseph. WILLIAM 4 CoBB, born about 1714, died in Knox County, Tenn., about 1803; married BARSHEBA WHITEHEAD. The family moved from Isle of Wight County, by 1750, to Northampton County, N. C. In 1770 he removed to the Watauga district of Tennessee. William Cobb was one of the twenty-seven original magistrates appointed for VVashington County, N. C., 1777, and served cont,inuously, except during the existence of the State of Frankliin, till he moved ,to Beans Station in 1795. He bought a traot of land at Sycamore Shoals for his son Pharoah. The Kings Mountain soldiers met, according to several authorities, a,t William Cobb's in what was known as The Fork, where they were fed and many of them mounted on horses furnished by William Cobb. They then marched up the Watauga River to Pharaoh Cobb's home where they were provided with food. From Sycamore Shoals they left the next morning, accompanied by Pharaoh Cobb, for Kings Mountain. ' In 1796 he sold his Washington County land. In 1801 he was of Grainger County when he sold land in Anderson County, but he was of Knox County in 1803 when he sold another tract. Children: 1.

DYKES FAMILY GEORGE DYKES, born , died in Pitt County, N. C., probably about 1777; married ------. His name appears as George Dyckes as witness to the will of Thomas Giddings of Johnston County, N. C., which was probated 13 July 1747 [G. Bryan Grimes: N. C. Calendar of Wills]. In 1762 we find George Dikes a property owner in Pitt County, N. C., and it is likely that he lived previously in Beaufort County from which Pitt County was formed in 1760. The name of George Dikes appears on a list of the taxables in Pitt County in 1764. On 24 May 1762, Moses Tison of Pitt County, N. C., Planter, for £10, conveyed to George Dikes, Planter, of Pitt County, 100 acres on the south side of Tarr River, on the north side of Little Contentony [i.e. Contentnea] Creek, and on the east side of the Broad Branch running up the said Branch to the mouth of the Old Woman's Branch. Tison had received the land by grant "out of Earl of Granville's Office," 20 June 1761. Witnesses: Aaron Tison, George Dickes, Junr. [Deed Book B, p. 100.] George Dyks (also written Duks) sold this land, 6 Oct. 1762, for £20, to William Giddens of Pitt County, and signed by mark; witnesses, Sam11 Al'bston, Jacob Giddens. [ib., B-294.] The same 100 acres was sold by Willm Gidings (signed Giddins) on 1 June 1765, for £40, to George Dikes, Junr, of Pit,t County, Planter; witnesses, Jesse Moore, Arthur Moore, J unr. [ ib., C-257.] George "Dyks" bought a tract of land, 6 Oct. 1762, for £20, from William Giddins, in Pi On 13 Mar. 1771, Jeremiah Rhame (or Rame) of Pitt County, Planter, for £30, sold ,to George Dikes of the same, Planter, 100 acres "on the North side of Little Contentny in a Branch called the Hencoop Branch beginning at a Willow Oak in the Hencoop Branch & Jack Blounts line & runs north 60 wt 100 poles to a pine then No 30 Et 160 to a black Jack then 100 poles to a black Jack then to the begining." Witnesses: Samuel Powel, Benjamin Blunt. [Pitt County, Deed Book F, p. 71.] George Dikes of Pitt County, N. C., planter, "for the love good will & affections that I have for my son William Dikes and my daughter Rebecca," granted to William a tract of 100 acres "whereon I now live with the planta tion houses orchards gardens fields pasters and paster grounds woods under woods waters and water courses . . . . . and also two cows their yerlings and one stear and one mare and half my hogs and household goods," and to "my Daughter Rebecca Dikes I give one cow and yerlang their increase also half my hogs and half my household goods," 3 May 1775. Witnesses: Daniel Macklain, "William Johnston. The deed was not recorded until Jan. 1778, ;,nd presumably was held unrecorded until shortly after the father's death. [ ib., F-379.] The elder son, George, Jr., seems to have been provided for in the missing deed of 1763. It was the tract of 100 acres bought from Rhame which was given to the son William, as shown by the following interesting document [ib., H-190): To all to whom this present writing shall come, Know ye that I Richard Moy, Con stable, wher-eas ,by virtue of W-arrant of di1stress issued by Law, John SaJt.er of the County aforesaid, dated the 17th diay of November 1780, being agaimt the lands, tena ments, goods and cha,t,tJ.es of William Dikes to ra.ize a sufficient sum of money to hire a man in the room o.f the said William Dikes to serve in the Militia raized for the defence State aforesaid.

GEORGE DYKES (George), born , died in Richmond County, Ga., in 1790; married UNITY---. "A List of the inhabitants of Pitt County taken by Order Continuntal and Provenchel Congrace Aug. 25, 1775," includes George Dikes with a family of nine, consisting of one white male from 16 to SO, one white woman, three white males under 16, and four white female children. He had no slaves. His age, and the number of children, suggest that the record pertains to George, Jr. If so, his father does not appear in the list which, however, is only partial. The State Records of North Carolina (Vol. XVI, p. 580) contain the following Petition of the Inhabitants of Pitt County which was signed by George and Jesse Dykes and which we reproduce as a contribution to local history: To His Excellency Thomas Burke, Esqr., Governor of the State of North Carolina, and the Honorable Gentlemen of the Council.

[Warren County, Deed .Book A, p. 272.] He had a grant of 900 acres in Columbia Co., Ga., 14 Jan. 1797. [Georgia, Register of Grants, Vol. Z-4, p. 135.] George Dykes was on the Warren County Tax Ust in 1794, listed with 1100 acr,es in Warren County on Rocky Comfort Creek, and 100 acres in Washington County on Williamson's Swamp; and in 1805 was taxed on 395 acre's in \,Varren County on Joe's and Big Creek. Perhaps he was father of George Dykes, Esqr., who was Justice of the Inferior Court, Wilkin son County, Ga., in 1817. v. UNITY. vi. LEVI, b. [say 1768] ; MANING FAMILY THOMAS and SARAH MANING of Norfolk County, Virginia, made a deed of gift on 16 Dec. 1758 to their son-in-law, James Granberry [Norfolk Deed Book 18, p. 224]. They were living there at least as late as 1767, but neither of them has a will on record in Norfolk County. Their grandsons, Moses and George Granberry, s.ettled in Pitt County, North Carolina. No deeds of Thomas or Sarah Marring have been found in Pitt County, but on 26 Sept. 1774 Moses Marring (with Lydia his wife) conveyed to Samuel Marring, all described as of Pitt County, land on the eas.t side of 1,ittle Contentony Creek in that county which had been granted to Moses Marring by patent dated 24 May 1773 [Pitt County Deed Book F, p. 110]. This deed was witnessed by Caleb Tripp (his mark), Thomas Marring, and Sarah Maning (her mark). It thus seems likely that Thomas and Sarah Maning, having disposed of their real estate to their children, were living in old age in Pitt County, N. C., with some of their relatives there, and that Moses and Samuel Maning were their sons. Moses Granberry was thus named after his uncle Moses Marring * lb., p. 32. t lb., p. 81. t lb., p. 32. § lb., p, 55. MANING FAMILY 111 as well as after his grandfather Granberry. Nor folk County Marriage Bonds include that of Moses Manning to Lydia Smith on 12 Nov. 1762 [Virginia County Records, 6-167], and since the wife Lydia signed the 1774 deed with him in Pitt County, this constitutes additional evidence of the removal of this branch of the Maning family from Norfolk County, Va., to Pitt County, N. C., and that Moses was son of Thomas and Sarah Maning who witnessed his deed. The Maning family was numerous in Norfolk County, and a great deal of research would be required to make sure of the line back to the first settler. The following records are here brought together as an aid to those who may wish to pursue the inquiry further, and our conclusions are meant to be tentative and suggestive rather than definitive. 1 J OIIN ( or \Villiam) MANING firsit appears in the following record: "John Manning, 200 acres. Lower Norfolk County, 25 Oct. 1648. Upon North ward side of the Gaythers Creek, being a branch of the Southward branch of Elizabeth River, running unto land of Marmadicke Merring1ton. Due unto said vVilli"am for transportation of 4 persons: William Baxter, Chr. Collins, Martha Brice, Francis Robinson." It is unfortunate that the record errs as to Maning's name, but it is thought that John is correct rather than \Villiam, for the banns of John Maning to Lidia Richardson were published 16 Apr. 1660 in Lower Norfolk (now Princess Anne) County, Va. [County Court Note-Book, 1-34]. In view of the date, this was probably a second marriage if it refers to the original John. There are records in the next generation of John, Thomas, and Nicholas Maning, who may all have been sons of the original John. In an alphabetical list of the Quit Rents of Norfolk County in 1704, we find "Tho. Manning 97" and "Nich0 Maning 260" [The Virginia Magazine, 30-26]. THOMAS 2 MANING seems to have married a widow W attford, for a John Wattforcl made his will 29 Apr. 1694, .proved 15 May 1694, in which he gave all his land to brother Solomon Maning, "the youngest Son of my £father in law Tho: Maning"; to "my ffather & Mother the Cow ..... Dampell"; to my brother John Maning, one heifer; to my sister Sarah Maning one heifer; to my brother Thomas Maning, three sows and a young barrow; and he made "my father in Lawe Tho: Maning" executor [C. F: McIntosh: Lower Norfolk County and Norfolk County Wills 1637-1710, p. 151]. Since John \Vattford was of age to make a will in 1694, he was born probably about 1670, perhaps earlier; and his younger Maning half-brothers and sister can be placed as born around 1670-1685. The sons of Thomas Maning are identified as John, Thomas, and Solomon. Of these, Thomas Jr. is probably the "young Thomas Maning" who received a cow by the will of Francis Nash, 16 Mar. 1686 [ib., p.118]. In 1737thewill of Thomas Hobgood, Sr., mentioned his daughter Frances Manning, and the will was witnessed by Solo0 Manning [C. F. McIntosh: Norfolk County Wills 1710-1753, p. 234]. This may refer rto Solomon, youngest son of Thomas Maning, Sr., who was a boy in 1694 when named in Wattford's will. In 1718/19, the will of 112 THE GRANBERRY FAMILY AND ALLIED FAMILIES Matthew Spivey ( step-father of the wife of John Granbery) was witnessed by Thomas Manning, who made his mark [ ib., p. 78]. The branch of Thomas2 Maning has not 'been further traced. Since our Thomas, father-in-law of James Granberry, had a married daughter by 1758, and was living in 1774, he was born probably around 1700. He would not 2 be old enough to identify with the son of Thomas , but he could have been a grandson. JoHN 2 MANING made his will 22 July 1715, proved 18 Jan. 1716, calling himself "John Maning Senr of the Southern branch of Elizabeth River Parrish in the County of Norfolk." He made his wife Sarah and son Joseph executors ; g·ave to son John Maning "the plantation whereon he now Liveth"; to son Joseph Maning "after the Decease of Sarah my wife the plantation whereon I now Live," referring to "his mother my wife"; to son William Maning "the plantation whereon he now Lives" ; to s:on Thomas Maning, 40 acres; "all my Children" (including probably unnamed daughters). Wit nesses: John Manning J unr, Joseph Hodgis, John \iVillis. [ C. F. McIntosh: Norfolk County Wills 1710-1753, p. 51.] It is clear that the three elder sons were already married in 1715, John and William living on plantations of their own, while Joseph was to have the home plantation. Joseph must have married before 1712, because in his own will dated 27 Mar. 1733, proved 17 Dec. 1742, he had a son old enough to be appointed executor. Joseph, like his father, was of the Southern Branch of Elizabeth River Parish, and he had a wife Martha and four children, Malachi, Joseph, Martha and Mary [ ib., p. 171]. The birth of the children of John2 can be placed between 1680 and 1700. If Thomas was his youngest son, he would be about the right age for our Thomas, but that remains unproved. NICHOLAS2 MANING married Elizabeth Rise or Joyce, daughter of Judith Rise of Norfolk County whose will, proved 15 Sept. 1704, named a son John Joyce and a daughter Judith Taylor in addition to Elizabeth Maning [ C. F. McIntosh: Lower Norfolk County and Norfolk County Wills 1637-1710, p. 186]. Nicholas had a daughter Elizabeth; it has not been ascertained whether he had sons. It appears that Thomas2 and John2 Maning may have married sisters, born Hodg·es. The will of Margrett Taylor, made 5 Apr. 1679, proved 15 Aug. 1679, named her four small children; son John; "my brother Roger Hodges may have my daughter Margarett"; "my brother Thomas Maning may have my daughter Suzanna"; "Wm Owens may have my sone Richard"; "Brothers Roger Hodges & Jno. maning, & Thomas maning and my loving friend wm Owens to be overseers"; son Thomas, now nursing. [ib., p. 68.] Of course it is possible that Margaret Taylor was born a Maning, sister of Thomas2 and J ohn2 , and !1:hat another sister married Roger Hodges. It is also possible that the original J ohn1 Maning married a widow Hodges, and that Roger and Margaret were brother and sister of the half blood to Thomas2 and J ohn2 Maning. Or finally, Margaret may have been own sister of Roger Hodges MASSENGILL FAMILY 113 and may have had Hodges sisters who married the two Maning brothers. We favor one of the two latter theories rather than the first, chiefly because she named Roger Hodges first in disposing of her younger children, and also named him first of the four overseers. Since only four of rthe five children were described as "small," the son John was probably in his 'teens, while Thomas Taylor was an infant. That rather definitely fixes Margaret's age as about 35, making her born about 1644, before J ohn1 Maning received his grant; and that consideration also favors one of the two latter theories, rather than the assumption that she was born a Maning. Her son, Thomas Taylor, was born about 1678, and died in 1747. His will, dated 18 May 1745, proved 19 Mar. 1746/7, made son John and wife Mary executors; gave five shillings each to son Andrew, daughter Margaret Brown, son W,illiam, and d:augihter Anne N oas ; to son Caleb, a negro; remainder to wife and to these five children-Richard Taylor, James Taylor, Joshua Taylor, Sarah Maning, and Judith Powers [C. F. McIntosh: Norfolk County Wills 1710-1753, p. 203]. It is estimated that Sarah Taylor could have been about the proper age for Sarah the wife of our Thomas Maning, but no evidence has been seen that she was, and the Manings were too numer ous a tribe to make guessing safe. MASSENGILL FAMILY DANIEL1 MASSENGILL, baptized at Whitby, co. York, England, 27 Feb. 1623/4, died in Virginia, son of Gilbert and Phebe; married---. He made a will 18 Jan. 1645/6, mentioning the unkind treatment he had suffered from his brother Tobias, and making his sister Mary, wife of Abra ham Collyer of Whitby, his heir. She proved the will 27 June 1653 [P. C. C., 69 Brent]. Since seven years had elapsed, it was probably assumed that he was dead. When the will was made, Daniel was "now bound out to sea and consideringe the perills and daingers of the same and the certainty of death." The name in Yorkshire was often spelled Marsinge111, but he signed his will by mark, and his descendants have spelled the name mostly Massengill and Massengale. He owned land in Surry County, Virginia, by 5 Dec. 1653, a~ records of that date and in 1654 and 1656 attest. He removed to Charles City County, where on 31 Oct. 1663 he was appointed administrator of the estate of Benjamin Wade. This is about all that has been learned of him. References S. E.

He first bought land in Northampton County, N. C., in 1749, and sold his Surry County holdings between 1752 and 1754. His wife Judith appears with him in several deeds. References S. E.

HENRY4 MASSENGILL, born probably in Albemarle Parish, Surry Co., Va., in the 1730's, died probably in Grainger County, Tenn., in the 1800's; married MARY CoBB, daughter or granddaughter of Joseph and Catherine (White head) Cobb. He removed from Virginia with the rest of the family to Northampton County, N. C. In 1769 he was one of the first settlers of Tennessee, locating on the Watauga River. He was elected a member of the Watauga Associa tion in 1775, and was appointed to fill a vacancy occasioned by the Revolu tionary War. In 1777 he erected the Massengill House of Worship, which was destroyed by Tories in 1779. He was chairman of the Committee of Safety in 1778, and served two years as sheriff of Watauga District; was on the staff of Capt. William Eclmis,ton in the expedition against the Chickamauga Indians in 1779, and furnished three sons to the Revolutionary Army. He first bought land in the Watauga section from the Cherokee Indians, and on 1 Jan. 1779 the State of Carolina issued an order for a survey of the 400 acres constituting his plantation. The survey wa~ made 17 Apr. 1783. The land was on the south side of the Vv atauga River, beginning at the mouth of Boone's Creek, in Washington County, Tenn. He sold to Henry [Hal] Massengill, Jr., 17 Nov. 1798, and about that time removed to Grainger County, Tenn., where he spent his last days with his daughter, Mrs. Mary Atkinson. He wrote a brief sketch of his Revolu tionary services on 1 June 1779, which was preserved by the family. Children: 1.

SPURLING FAlvIILY Swem's great Virginia Index contains but one reference to the name Spurling, and three to the name Sparling, which may be a variant form of the same name. A similar name, Sperling, occurs in New Jersey records. A John Michael Sperling was living in 1730 in Somerset County, N. J. [N. J. Archives, first series, 23, Wills 1-15]. The Middlesex County list of freeholders in 1752 shows Daniel Sperling and Johannes Sperling as resident in New Brunswick [O. E. Monrnette, First Settlers of Piscataway and Woodbridge, p. 551]. The given names in the New Jersey family sug gest a German origin, but that is not true of the Virginia family which presumably was English. RICHARD SPARLING is named as one of six persons transported by James Metgrigar [MacGregor?] and Hugh Foutch, to whom a grant was made in Northumberland County, Va., 24 July 1650 [N. M. Nugent, Cavaliers and Pioneers, 1-198]. This is just south of Westmoreland County and is located at the mouth of the Potomac River where it empties into Chesapeake Bay. It is therefore not unlikely that Jeremiah Spurling of Westmoreland County, in whom we are interested, may have been a grandson of Richard Sparling. One Elizabeth Sparling signed a petition in 1792 at Suffolk, Nansemond Co., Va.; and Lawrence Sparling furnished supplies to the Nansemond Militia and appears in an account dated 1 Jan. 1777 [Calendar of Virginia 118 THE GRANBERRY f,AMILY AND.ALLIED FAMILIES State Papers, 5~566; The Virginia Magazine, 13-19]. This is further south, but not far from the coastal regfon. A little west of there, a little later in date, we learn of a Spurling family which lived in Sussex County and removed in 1831 to Indiana; this family group included Malinda (b. 1804), William (b. 1806), Jeremiah (b. 1810), Ann (b. 1813), Cyrus (b. 181-), and Hannah (b. 1821), and is of special interest because of the names William and Jeremiah which occur in our own branch.* The family in Westmoreland County, Va., begins with JEREMIAH SPURLING, whose date of birth must be placed at least as early as 1680. He could therefore be a grandson of Richard "Sparling" of Northumberland County, or conceivably a son if the latter married a wife younger than him self. It seems clear that Jeremiah Spurling was married more than once, and the printed abstract of his will [ A. B. Fothergill, Wills of Westmoreland County, Va., 1654-1800, p. 83] is misleading, as it converts a step-son into an actual son with a middle name. J:he original has been consulted and the following abstract obtained.t It was dated 13 Feb. 1725/6, written by William Bills, and witnessed by Corderoy Vaughan, and proved in court by the latter's testimony on 6 Apr. 1726; recorded in Westmoreland County Court Records, D & W Book 8, p. 161. Will of Jeremiah Spurling of the Parish of Cople in the County of Westmoreland, Colony of Virginia, cordwainer. To my dear and loving wife, Mary Spurling: 1 feather ,bed; 1 black -bed and all fumi tur,e belonging to them; 1 cow; a 3,-year old heifer; 1 horse; 1 old linen spinning wheel; 1 woolen s,pinning wheel ; 1 table; 3 chairs ; 2 iron ,pots ; 1 dozen plates ; 6 pewter spoons ; 1 frying pan; 1 pewter bason; 1 pair of fire tongs "all of which things did belong to the Estate of Robert Barmuel." To eldest ·son, Jeremiah Spurling, horses, cows, and chattels. To daughter, Sarah Spurling, bed, cows, and chattels. To son, Thomas Spurling, heifers, and chattels. He is by the court to be bound out until 21 years old to my wife Mary Spurling. To my son, John Bannuel.l, one-half of my working tools, my great Bible, "and my will and desire is that whaA: sow·s and hoggs I have may ,be for the use of the plantation and family and I likewise desire that what tobacco I have it may be to pay my debts and it there be any overplus to be equally divided between both families." My wife Mary Spurling is to be my sole and whole executrix. The estate was a;ppraised by John Footman, Corderoy Vaughan, and John Arris, pursuant to a court order dated 30 Mar. 1726, and amounted to £55 :14 :0; Mary Spurling made her mark as executrix [Westmoreland, Fiduciary Account Book, 1-26]. On 23 Feb. 1725/6, only ten days after Jeremiah Spurling made his will, Thomas Chandler upset the provision of the will that Spurling's widow Mary was to be appointed guardian to the son Thomas. "Upon the Peticon of * William (b. 1806) had a son Levi (b, 1841 at Corning, Iowa), a name which also occurs in our branch; and Levi's wife gave the above family information to her daughter-in-law, Fannie Smith Spurling (res. 1942 at 122 North 4th St., Delavan, Wis.), to whose kindness we are indebted for the infotmatioll. t By George H. S. King, a genealogist, of Fredericksburg, Va. SPURLING FAMILY 119 Thomas Chandler the guardianship and tutoridge of Thomas son of Jeremiah Spurling, dec'd, and grandson and Godson to the said Chandler, is granted and committed to him Daniel Tebbs assuming to be his security for the trust reposed in him and it is ordered the said Chandler be possessed with his Estate." [Court Order Book 1721-31, p. 108.] But Thomas Chanler (the more common spelling) did not long survive. The will of Thomas Chanler of Cople Parish, Westmoreland County, elated 11 May 1721, proved 29 June 1726, mentioned his grandson Thomas Spurling, to whom he leaves certain land if his sons Joseph and John Chanlor die wit1hout legal heirs [vVestmore land, D & W Book 8, p. 167]. The last we hear of the estate and heirs is on 27 July 1726: "Ordered the Rheriff of this county do summons Mary Spurling, executrix of Jeremiah Spurling, deceased, '1:o be and appear a:t the next court to be held for the said county to answer the Petition of Jeremiah Spurling prefer'd against her to this court." [Court Order Book 1721-31, p. 125.] No further mention of this legal action was found, and perhaps the difficulties were settled out of court. These records prove that Jeremiah Spurling's widow Mary was a second wife, not the mother of the children; and that she was widow of Robert Bannuel and had a son John Bannuel. The eldest son Jeremiah must have been of age by 1726 when he sued his step-mother, and probably both Jere miah and Sarah were of age when the will was made in 1725, since Thomas was the only child for whom a guardianship provision was made. Yet even Thomas could not have been child of the widow Mary. Jeremiah's will asked the court to bind Thomas "to my wife," not "to his mother," and the child's grandfather, Thomas Chanler, would hardly have taken immediate action to prevent this if Mary had been Chanler's daughter and the boy's own mother. But there is even more positive evidence. Thomas Spurling was named in his grandfather Chanler's will in 1721, so must have been at least four years old when Jeremiah Spurling made his will in 1725; but that will gave to Mary many items which had belonged to her former husband's estate, including a three-year old heifer. The mention in the will of "both families" indicates that the two families had not become cemented by the birth of a child belong ing· to both. JEREMIAH SPURLING, born probably by 1680 or before, died at Cople Parish, Westmoreland Co., Va., between 13 and 23 Feb. 1725/6; married ( first or second), a daughter of Thomas CHANLER; married last, probably around 1723 or 1724, MARY (---) BANNUEL, widow of Robert Bannuel.

THOMAS. 120 THE GRANBERRY FAMILY AND 'ALLIED FAMILIES JEREMIAH SPURLING (J eremiuh), born by 1705, is supposed lo have mar ried and left issue. The father was not a real estate owner, and the son had little to tie him to Caple Parish. No record concerning him subsequent to 1726 has been found in Westmoreland County. Either he lived there very quietly, or a search of the records of adjacent counties in Virginia or even across the Potomac in Maryland may reveal that he resided elsewhere. But in 1782 a Jeremiah Spurling, probably his son, again appears in the records. Other Spurlings are found there in the latter end of the eighteenth century, and since "our" Jeremiah named a son William, we are indined to place a William of Westmoreland County as his brother. Possible children: 1. WILLIAM, b. perhaps 1758-9; m. (probably 2) 23 Mar. 1799, NANCY CARY. He served in the Revolutionary War in the 10th or 11th Virginia Regiment commanded by Col. Thomas Gaskins and Col. Posey, and in a company commanded by Capt. Thomas W awman; declaration made 26 June 1820, when he described himself as aged 60, anc! as having a wife agec! 45 and children ( unnamed) aged 14, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4, and 2 years. [Westmoreland, D & W Book 24, p, 78.J The age, if exact, would make him born the same year as Jeremiah, but the ages 60 and 45 I,ound like round figures, and he may have been a year or two older or younger.* +ii. JEREMIAH, b. 10 Sepit. 1760. JEREMIAH SPURLING (?Jeremiah, Jeremiah), born 10 Sept. 1760, died 20 June 1820; married DRUSILLA BALDWIN, born 23 Dec. 1761, died 22 Dec. 1837. Beginning in 1782, we have personal tax lists for Westmoreland County, Va., preserved in the Archives Division of the Virginia State Library, which are supposed to list every male tithable in the coul1lty. In 1782 we find Jeremiah Spurling, 1 Ta.thable, 1 Slave, 7 Horses and Cattle. In 1783 and 1784 we find him listed as 1 Tithable, 0 Slaves, 7 Horses and Cattle. There after, his name disappears. The surname Spurling is so rare that it seems very probable we have here the first record mention of "our" Jeremiah, soon after of Georgia. The failure to find any record of him. in Westmoreland Coui;ty is in accord with this hypothesis. The name of his wife is not unknown in Westmoreland County, for before Feb. 1650 John Baldwin and Mary Wilkins were married there [County Court Note-Book, 6-19]. But the first record found which certainly pertains to "our" Jeremiah is the following [ Georgia, Register of Grants, Vol. F-3, p. 599]: Hi·s Excellency, Samuel Elbert, Captain-General, Governor and Commander-in-Chief in and for said State, &c., grants unto Jeremiah Spurling, 100 acres in the County of Wilkes, southwestwardly and northwestwardly by v:.cant land, northwardly by Harper's land and on the other side by va,eant land.

(he signed, she made her mark), for £50, sold to Joseph Miner of Wilkes County, 100 acres "on Ogeechee Waters"; witnesses: John Talia ferro, Ezekiel Miller, Jesse Miller. [Wilkes County, Deed Book BB, p. 210 (old) or 29 (new).] The family appears to have moved soon after to Warren County, Ga., where the tax lists in 1794 show Jeremiah Spurlin with 80 acres on Joe's Creek, adjoining Hancock and Ruskin. On 24 Dec. 1796, Francis (and Elizabeth) Danielly of Hancock County, Ga., for £100, sold to Jeremiah Spurling of vVarren County, 200 acres on Joe's Creek; w1tnesses, Sam1 Brady, Henry Pickard. On 6 June 1797, Jeremiah Spurling of Warren County, for $70.00, purchased 80 acres on Joe's Creek from John Henry P,ickard of the same; witnesses, Joe Currie, Cla'born Crawford. [Warren County, Deed Book A, pp. 287, 306.] He received a grant of 62 acres in Warren County, 24 Aug. 1805, bounded southwest by his own land, on all other sides by Rentfroe's land. [Georgia, Register of Grants, Vol. F-5, p. 62.] In 1805 J eremia:h Spurling was taxed on 529 acres in Captain Deveriaux's District in Warren County on Joe's Creek, and John Spurling was taxed on 100 acres on Joe's Creek. But on 15 Dec. 1807, John Spurlin of Wilkinson County received a grant of 202¼ acres in that county, the tract or lot being No. 193 in the 8th District [Georg,ia, Register of Grants, Lottery of 1806, Baldwin & Wilkinson, Wilkins1on Districts 8 and 9, p. 17]. Jeremiah Spurling of Devereux District, Warren County, also drew 202¼ acres in 1806 in Wilkinson County, but permitted the tract to revert to the State, and in 1815 it was granted to Gibson Clark [ib., A-Reverted, p. 336]. In 1817 Jeremiah Spurlin was taxed in Captain Travis's District No. 151, Warren County, on 6 slaves and 1300 acres on Joe's Creek. In 1818 he was taxed there on 6 slaves and 1350 acres, and then for 1:he first time appears Levi Spurlin, 1 poll but no land or slaves. Levi Spurling of Warren County, for $200.00, on 23 July 1817 had sold 62 acres on Joe's Creek to Charles Brooks. [Deed Book D, p. 372.] A marriage license was issued, 9 Dec. 1815, to Levi Spurling and Miss Cynthia Brooks; marriage return as of 20 Dec. 1815 by John Blackston, Minister [Warren County, ,Register of Marriage Licenses, 1811-25, p. 142]. Jeremia'h's son Levi, by the family record, was born in 1803, and he hardly married at the age of twelve. Who the older Levi was, has not been ascertained, but presumably he was a brother or nephew of Jeremiah. It has been seen that Jeremiah, whose name was indifferently written Spurling or Spurlin, began with 100 acres in 1787, and possessed 1350 acres and several slaves in 1818, two years before his death. The Deed Books of Warren County between 1817 and 1844 were burned, and conveyances of the heirs of Jeremiah Spurling are therefore pro1:iably lost. One deed of interest, however, is that given on 15 Aug. 1813 by William Spurling of \Varren County, for $100.00, ,to Jeremiah Spurling of t'he same, 122 THE GRANBERRY FAMILY AND ALLIED FAMILIES for 100 acres on Joe's Creek. This deed was witnessed by Stephen Gran berry [Jeremiah's son-in-law] and Richard Powell. [Deed Book D, p. 124.] A marriage license was issued 18 Feb. 1809 to Stephen Granberry and Eliza. Spurling-.

To the above record we append a verbatim transcription of the Spurlin Granberry Bible record, with acknowledgment to Miss Elva B. Colglazier of Austin, Texas, for kindly supplying us with a photostatic copy. The date of the Bible has not been seen, and we suspect that this was not the original Spurlin Bible, but that it was the Bible of Elizabeth (Spurlin) Granberry, into which she copied the births of her parents, and of herself and her brothers and sisters, and then entered her own marriage and the record of her children. The reason for this belief is that no deaths of the Spurlin children are given, and no marriages of the Spurlin children except her own. The deaths of her parents, however, were entered.

Perhaps the ARTHUR VVHITEHEAD of 1643 was father of ARTHUR WHITE HEAD of Isle of "\Vight County, who was apparently a young adult in 1673. If so, the wife of the elder Arthur was KATHARINE, who married second a Thornton. Katharine was presumably a relative, perhaps a sister, of William Ruffin. On 9 June 1664, some deipositions were made on behalf of William Ruffin, one of the deponents being Katharine Thornton, aged 30 years. Mr. William Ruf£n was granted a Patent of 758 acres in Isle of Wight County, 4 May 1666; and on 6 June 1677, Robert Ruffin, heir apparent and administrator of ·William Ruffin, made it over to Thomas Giles, except that given by his_ father to Katharine Thornton. This refers to a conveyance of 200 acres made by ·william Ruffin on 9 June 1670 to Katharine Thornton, which in case of her death was to be equally divided between her two children, Arthur Whitehead and Rebecca Thornton. Witnesses: Abraham Rouse, Robert King. Arthur Whitehead, on 11 Aug. 1673, in consideration of affection for his sister, Rebecca Horsfield, now wife to Stephen Horsfield, gave her some cows. William Strickland and Oiiffe his wife sold 150 acres 1:o Arthur Whitehead, 1 Feb. 1699, and about 1700 he bought 200 acres from the brothers William and Matthew Strickland. His name is on the "List of Her Majtys Qt. Rents In the Isle of Wighte County in the Year 1704." His land was in the part of Isle of \Night County which became South a1npton County, and his will named his daughter "Catrin" [Katharine] as wife of J oseph3 Cobb. We thus have three generations of ·whiteheads: I. [ARTHUR?]1 WHITEHEAD, marri~d KATHARINE [RUFFIN?], born about 1634, probably earlier as the age 30 given in 1664 may have been a round figure. She married second, --- Thornton, a,nd had a daughter Rebecca who married, about 1673, Stephen Horsfield. II. ARTffUR2 WHITEHEAD, born by 1652 ( of age in 1673). +III. KATHARINE3 WHITEHEAD, married Joseph3 Cobb. A son of Arthur2 Whitehead was presumably father of Barsheba White head who married her cousin, William4 Cobb. References J. B.

It has been quite completely traced, through one hundred and twenty family names. The \i\/oodward family has been placed first, but all the other ancestral lines have been placed in alphabetical order. Each family begins with the American colonist, and no special effort has been made to trace the settlers abroad, although the place of origin and parentage are stated when known. For the most part, the aim of the compiler has been to trace the direct lines of descent and to give a biographical account of each ancestor, with particular emphasis on public service. Collateral rela tives have therefore not been given in general, but this rule has not been slavishly followed. Very little had appeared in print on some of the families (such as Gager); some were unusually difficult to trace (such as Hadlock, Haskins, and Stevens) ; others had been involved in error by earlier historians ( such as Brown). In dealing with such families, a mor-e extensive account has been given, with citation of records, to prove the accuracy of our own conclusions, and to be helpful to others who have wrestled with, or may in the future have to wrestle with, the problems these families present. A very large number of ,printed sources have been consulted, and references are given under each individual ancestor. Whenever it seemed necessary or desirable, original public records have been examined. On a large number of the family lines here presented, it is felt that the present account is more complete and more accnrate than previously published accounts, while some of the lines have never been assembled and placed in print heretofore. On several family lines, such as Hadlock, Haskins and Read, the compiler is indebted to Mr. Clarence Almon Torrey of Dorchester, Mass., for helpful suggestions and items of importance while the compilation was' in progress. He has also shown the great kindness of checking proofs of this part of the book with his collections of early New Eng-land data, which has benefited the account of a number of families. MATERNAL ANCESTRY OF MRS. EDGAR F. (HELEN GRANBERRY)WATERMAN In the following accounts of the families from which Mrs. Waterman is maternally descended, her mother's family, Woodward, is placed first, and all the others in alphabetical order. This arrangement is convenient for readers who are interested only in a few of the family lines. While a more logical order might be to give each ancestor in generation sequence, parents, grand parents, and so on, that involves assigning an individual reference number to each ancestor, and the splitting of each family line with many pages inter vening between father and son. That is very annoying to one who wishes to follow a single line, such as Woodward, Smith, or Allen, and necessitates constant reference to the index or trying to locate individual reference num bers in the text. However, to compensate for the loss of the advantages of the alternate arrangement, charts are herewith provided to show the generation sequence and to indicate graphically how each of the ancestral lines connects with the others and comes into the ancestry. To avoid the annoyance of folding charts, the ancestry has been divided into six segments. The immediate progenitors of Mrs. Granberry are charted below, and the connecting links shown with each of the six charts which follow. At the right of each chart are two columns. In the first, each line shown on that chart is numbered, and in the text references will be found, specifying chart and line. Thus at the end of the Hall family, the reference is to Chart II, Line 9, which enables the reader quickly to locate that family line in the charts. In the second column, the page numbers are given on which the account of each family begins in the text. Thus one using the charts can immediately obtain the page reference to any family he wishes to read about in the text. II III IV V Helen Woodward ,-Patrick Henry Woodward i-Ashbel Woodward, M.D. ....

Richard Woodward, aged 45, with Rose his wife, aged 50, and sons George and John, both listed as aged 13, sailed in the Elizabeth of Ipswich the last of April 1634. They settled in Watertown, Mass. Richard was made a freeman of Massa chusetts 2 Sept. 1635. The book of "Lands, Grants and Possessions" at vV atertown shows that he owned in the first inventory a homestall of twelve acres, and fourteen other allotments of land, including another homestall of ten acres ( afterwards entered as belonging to his son George), a farm of 125 acres, and another farm of 131 acres. On 8 Sept. 1648, "Rich: Woodward of Watertowne Miller" bought a windmill in Boston from Edward Holyoke, and seems to have resided there a short time, as he called himself of Boston when he sold the windmill to William A,spinwall, 26 Dec. 1648. His wife Rose died 6 Oct. 1662, aged "about" 80, probably an overstate ment, though the shipping list indicates that she was a few years older than her husband.

William Allen, a carpenter, was one of Roger Conant's company which settled at Salem, Mass., in 1626. He was one of the first group to take the Oath of Freeman to the Massa chusetts Bay Colony, 18 May 1631. His name appears several times in the first book of Salem town records. In the division list belonging probably to 1637, he is listed with a family of five, while Robert Allen appears with a family of one. On 25 Jan. 1642/3, "Granted to Willm Allin & Robt. Allin 10 acres a peice at the great pond." It is a reasonable assumption that William and Robert were brothers.* * See the Robert Allyn family herein. ALLEN FAMILY 147 John Bradley of Salem died June 1642, and by his nuncupative will left all his property to his wife, except some clothes and tools to his brother-in-law, William Allen. Although definite statements have appeared that one of Allen's wives was a sister of John Bradley, the exact relationship is unproved and uncertain. He served on juries at Salem, 26 Dec. 1637, 26 June 1638, 12 July 1642, and 29 Nov. 1653; and on the Grand Jury, 27 June 1643, 6 July 1647, 26 Dec. 1648, 26 July 1649, 31 Dec. 1650, 24 June 1651, 27 Nov. 1655, 25 Nov. 1662, 30 June 1663, 29 Nov. 1664, 26 Nov. 1667, and 29 Nov. 1670. On 13 May 1640, the General Court at Boston permitted William Allen and others "to have Jeffryes Creeke and land to erect a village there." This was the beginning of the settlement of Manchester. Samuel Archer and William Allen were fined, 1 Feb. 1641/2, for keeping company with drinkers and for drinking too much, although not "unto drunkenes." Mr. Pester ( a good name for the informer) testified that Archer smelt of beer and that Goodman Allen reeled and drank a pipe of tobacco, on account of which Pester thought he had been drinking. On 11 Sept. 1649, John Leech, Jr., was fined for beating Samuell Allin, son of William Allin. William was sworn Constable of Manchester, 28 June 1653. In Nov. 1664, aged 62 years, he deposed that he had been an inhabitant of Salem about 38 years; and the same date, William Allen of Manchester was dismissed from common training, but was to pay three shillings per annum for the use of the company. In 1663 the estate of Thomas Sallows of Salem was indebted to William Allen £16; and this ·was still unpaid when Sallows' widow Grace died the following year. William Allen, by mark, certified to his family record, 24 Sept. 1645: "My son Samuell, by wife Als, born 8: 11 mo: 1631; my wife died 8: 1 mG: 1631/2; my daughter Elizabeth, by wife Elizabeth, born 7 mo: 1634; Deborah, born April 1637; Bethiah, born 12 mo: 1639; she died 12 mo: 1640, all by wife Elizabeth. My servant, Robt. Joans, died 12 mo: 1640. My son Onesiphorus, born last of 4 mo: 1642, by wife Elizabeth; Persis ( as we intended to call her), by wife Als, born 12 mo: 1630; died within a week." He later had William, baptized 31 May 1646, and Jonathan, baptized 29 July 1649. The will of William Allen, Sr., of Manchester, dated 7 June ;J.678, proved 26 June 1679, made his wife Elizabeth sole executor; gave to son Samuell "ye remayner of ye five & twenty acer Iott which he all redy poseseth," and land to sons Onesephoras and Willam. "The Widow Allen Testifieth That her husband William Allen deceaced gaue his Sonne Samuell more then he gaue his other Sonnes thes things following & that therefore he gaue him not A double Portion first at his first mariadg or before helpt to buld him An house Secondly he gaue him Thre Cattell one After Another Thirdly he hath bin helpfull unto him Cince as he CGuld."

He was a cooper, and in cotnpany with Rev. Samuel Whiting purchased on 30 :May 1709, for £120, 150 acres, partly in Lebanon and partly in Windham, near "Pigeon Swamp." This probably included what 'was later the homestead of his great-grandson, Amos D. Allen, a short distance west of South Wind ham village. The will of William Allen of Windham, dated 6 Nov. 1739, proved 5 Jan. 1747 /8, gave to his wife Mary £30 to be at her dispose "among my children"; my Executor shall allow unto "his mother" a competent maintenance during her widowhood, and pay to my son Joseph Allyn [sic] £5 and to my son -x- Acco-rding to 1\.'lr.

[Windham Probate Records, File 63-10.] On 25 Mar. 1789, Elijah Badcock of Lebanon, Jerusha Allen, Bela Allen, Amelia Allen, and Lora Allen, of Windham, gave bond to Mrs. Ann Spauld ing the wife of Mr. Simeon Spaulding of Killingly, the condition being that whereas Mr. Amos Allen Senr of Windham died and the heirs wyre said Ann, then his widow, Amos Allen, Jr., and Abner Allen, his sons, who made a proper division, which Amos Jr. hath also died leaving a wicfow ( the above named J erusha) and sundry children, the estate is now to be subdivided, etc. [ibid.] - The will of Ann Spalding of Killingly, made 9 Dec. 1788, proved 6 Sept. 1806, gave half her estate to the heirs of her son Amos Allen, and half to her son Abner Allen; Abner was to have a few sipecified articles above his half, including "my Grait Byble \Vhich I had of my Husband Paine." The will was signed also by her husband Simeon Spaulding, and was witnessed by Jacob Spalding, Lydia Spalding, and Coleton Gay. Abner Allen of Windham gave bond as executor, 8 Sept. 1806, with Denison Wattles as surety. On 150 THE GRANBERRY FAMILY AND ALLIED FAMILIES 17 Oct. 1804, Abner Allen had given bond to support Ann Spalding of Windham. Inventory of the estate of Widow Ann Spalding late of Lebanon was taken 19 Sept. 1806; it included "l Great Bible ( damaged) 0.1.6." Distribution of the estate of ·widow Ann Spalding of Lebanon was made 27 Oct. 1806. Abner Allyn received £19.0.4. Each of the following received £2.7.6¾: Chester Allen (his guardian Joseph Badcock receipted); Lucy Smith; Amelia Crocker (she receipted with John Crocker at Lebanon); Joshua Smith ( for the share of his former wife Lora for Mira their child & the only surviving Heir of sd Lora) ; Bela Allen; Denison Allen ( receipted as Amos D.) ; Sally Allen; and Joshua Smith ( for the portion of his present wife Anne). [Probate Rec. Windham, File 3504.] The gravestone of Amos Allen in \iVindharn, Conn., states that he died 23 Mar. 1770, aged 63. His widow is buried close by, but since the probate calls her of Lebanon, it is supposed that she died there. Her stone calls her Ann, reiict of Captain Simeon Spalding, and states that she died 29 Aug. 1806, aged 82. This agrees with her baptismal date and proves that she really did marry Amos Allen when she was only fifteen. Both her parents had died, and an older married brother had settled in Windham, and probably she had gone as a child from Stonington to Windham to live in this brother's family. After the death of Amos Allen, Ann married second, Edward Paine; her will refers to the Great Bible given to her by her husband Paine. Edward Paine of Pomfret died in 1776 and in his will of that year gave to his wife Anna the household goods she brought "when she came to my house, and a Great Bible which was my daughters Hulday."

RoBERT1 ALLYN, born in England about 1616, died at New London, Conn., (before 20 Sept.) 1683; married SARAH---, born in England, died after 5 Dec. 1683. Rdbert Allen ( or Allyn) was at Salem, Mass., where his brother William was an early settler, by 1637. They located in the section which soon became the town of Manchester. Here he was Constable in 1648 and he was sworn a freeman in 1649. His brother William remained in Manchester and estab lished a family there.* Allyn joined others of Manchester and Gloucester in March 1651 in an emigration to Pequot, later named New London, Conn. He received a house lot on "Cape Ann Lane," in the rear of the town plot. In 1653 lots were laid out to Allyn and others in the northeastern part of New London in the "Pocketannock Grants," and Allyn removed to this quarter about 1656. In May 1658, Robert Allyn and John Gager were released from their fine for not attending ordinary town training, probably because they lived at such a distance from the center. He was still young enough for military training, for in a deposition he made in 1680 on behalf of Edward Smith, he stated his age then as about sixty-four. Qualifying ancestor, Society of Colonial· Wars. He became an original proprietor of Norwich, Conn., and was Constable of that town in 1669. He remained there only a few years and returned to New London. From him or his family, Allyn's Point, about a mile above Gale's Ferry (the headquarters of the Yale racing crews on the Thames River), and the height called Allyn's mountain, doubtless derived their names. Robert Allen was dismissed to Norwich by the First Church of Salem, 12 Jan. 1662/3. He was of Norwich in deeds from 1664 to 1674, but was of New London when he conveyed land to his son John in 1681. The settlement of his estate [New London Land Records, 5-87, and New London County Court Records, 4-56] shows th~,t he died before 20 Sept. 1683. Carpenter's tools are men tioned in the inventory. His widow survived. The son John received prop erty valued at :£143; the four daughters received the balance of their portions. His wife Sarah witnessed a document in Salem in 1642, and appears to have been his only wife and mother of his children. * See the William Allen family of Manchester herein.

Suffolk, and in !635 came to New England. He was made freeman 25 May 1636, and was ~iected Deputy from Ipswich 1:o the Mass. General Court, May and Sept. 1637. In May 1637 he was chosen Commissioner (J ustioe) to assist at the Particular Cqurts at Ipswich. His social status is indicated by the fact that out of 69 ,per~i;ms made freeman on the same date, he was one of the 9 to whom the pre:fr~ "Mr." was applied. [Shurtle:ff's Records of Massachusetts Bay, 1-194, 197> 204, 371.] After his initial public service, he seems to have led a quiet life on his 8-acre town lot and 460-acre farm at Ipswich, retired from public affairs. This has been explained as caused 'by his liberality and tolerance, at a time when most of the leading citizens of the Commonwealth were busy persecut ing Mrs. Hutchinson and the Quakers. On 28 Dec. 1641, "Mr. Samll. Appleton" served on the Grand Jury at Ipswich. He was freed from ordinary training, on account of age, 26 Mar. 1650. [Quarterly Courts of Essex County, 1-37, 188.] He does not further appear in the public records, and it is supposed that he spent his last years at the home of his daughter, Sarah, wife of Rev. Sam uel Phillips, the minister at Rowley. His two sons, (Capt.) John Appleton and (Col.) Samuel Appleton, had distinguished public careers. The latter was Deputy and Assistant, and Commander-in-Chief of the Massachusetts forces in the west against King PhiEp, 1675; defending the liberties of the people in 1687, he was imprisoned by Gov. Andros for three months; and later served as Justice. Qualifying ancestor, Society of Colonial Wars. Refe,·e,.ces I. A. Jewett: Memorial of Samuel Appleton (185·0), pp. 9-12.

He served on a trial jury, 29 Sept. 1674, and in one case dissented; "whereas the jury has declared several times that they are all agreed but one man and have t been twice before the court, and yet Samuell Bishop dissents after the court has twice endeavored to satisfy him and he still remaining obstinate, court ordered a fine of £10 to be imposed upon him unless he agree with the jury in the cases committed to them, in order that they may bring in their verdict at the adjournment of this court."

In a suit against John Gould, Samuel Bishop attacked the credibility of Gould's only witness, whereupon Gould rejoined: "As to ye wisdome of ye parson wee acknowlidg bee may not haue so much BISHOP FAMILY 171 Craft as a Buship but wee trust more honisty than all ye Buships that may share in this estate if Recouered from ye p"sent defendant." In May 1682, his servant, Tobiah Taylor, complained agains.t him for ,beat ing him, and his wife Esther Bishop, aged ?bout 26, deposed in Samuel's behalf. The family evidently lived well, and had a maid servant as well as the boy. Administration on his estate was granted, 2 Mar. 1687, to his widow Hester, and an inventory filed 11 Feb. 1688. This was during the Andros "usurpation," when estates over a certain size had to be probated in Boston. Because of the fall of the Andros government, the estate was not settled, and on 17 Jan. 1703/4, Mrs. Esther Burnham, alias Bishop, was granted adminis tration in Essex County. On 24 Oct. 1711, Samuel and John Bishop, both of Norwich, Conn., Aaron Burnham of Ipswich, and Esther his wife, and Ichabod Griggs, of Roxbury, and Margaret his wife, sold land which our father Samuel Bishop, late of Ipswich, dec'd, purchased of Richard Saltonstall, Esq.

He was admitted an inhabitant of Norwich in 1702, and his younger brother John in 1710. A fatal accident occurred in 1728, at the rebuilding of the Norwich bridge, when the main timber broke, and one of those seriously hurt was Samuel's brother John. In 1725, the Proprietors of the common lands gave a quitclaim deed to several, including Lieut. Samuel Bishop, who had bought the land in the "Crotch of the Rivers," then known as Newent Parish, which became later the .town of Lisbon.

He was identified by Charles A. Hoppin in The Bliss Book with a Thomas named as son in the will of John Bliss of Preston Parva, co. Northampton, England, blacksmith, dated 8 Sept. 1617, proved 11 Oct. 1617. However, most genealogists would think it a more likely conclusion that the son of John Bliss was the Thomas Bliss, also a blacksmith, who married Dorothy Wheatley in near-by Daventry in 1614, and who is undoubtedly the emigrant to Rehoboth, Mass. Mr. Hoppin placed Thomas Bliss of Reho1both as son of a Wiliiam Bliss, a "judgment laid down without fear of reversal," as he expressed it, but he failed to present any evidence that William had a son Thomas or any family at all. If we accept the natural conclusion that the son of John was Thomas of Rehoboth, no other Thomas appears in actual records of this family group who is available for identification with Thomas of Hartford. Neither the marriage nor the baptisms of any of the numerous chi1dren of Thomas of Hartford are entered in the registers of Daventry or Preston Capes, though extant for that period. The impartial historian can only conclude that nothing has been presented to connect him with the North amptonshire family, and that his English origin is still to be sought. He was granted 36 acres, on the basis of a family of nine, in Braintree, Mass., 24 Feb. 1639/40. The same year, he received land in Hartford, Conn., by courtesy of the town. He was fined for not training, 4 Mar. 1646/7. He died in Hartford before 14 Feb. 1650/1, when his invento'ry was taken, amounting to :£86.12.08. On his deathbed, he desired that his wife should have his entire estate for life. His widow remained in Hartford for a year, but soon settled in Spring field, Mass., where two of the older married children were already living. She was a capable and energetic woman, raised the younger children and outfitted some of them at marriage, and left an estate appraised at :£278 when she died a third of a century after her husband's dearth-more than three times the value of the estate he left her. Her will, dated 25 June 1684, proved 30 Sept. 1684, named her son John Blisse; son Lawrence's son Samll.; gmndson Nathaneal Morgan; daughter Parsons; daughter Scot; son Samuel's daughter Hannah; grandson John Scot; son Samuel Blisse and his wife Mary. 174 THE GRANBERRY FA:'.dILY AND ALLIED FAMILIES Her daughter, Mary (Bliss) Parsons, was accused of witchcraft in 1656, and she vigorously defended the daughter, but in 1674 a formal charge was made, resulting in the daughter's trial and acquittal. There were eleven children, and there is good presumptive evidence that Margaret was mother of all of them. References Conn. Hist. Society Collections, 14-256 to 258, 501; 22-45, 93, 94. M. W.

Son of William and Alice (Hanson) Bradford of Austerfield, Yorkshire, he lost his father when he was only a little over a year old, and his mother remarried when he was but three. He received some education and came under the tutelage of William Brewster and John Robinson. The Puritan influence was so strong with him that at eighteen years he left his home and went to Holland. Here he became a leader in the movement to plant a society of the Separatists in America. He had inherited from his grandfather a house and ten acres of land in Bentley, Yorkshire, which he sold in 1611. He seems to have ,been successful in Leyden in a business way, and acquired a house there which he sold for 1120 guilders in April 1619. His name appears as taxed for personal prop erty in the subsidy of March 1620 in a London district closely associated with some of the M ayfiower group, and Colonel Banks reached the conclusion that, after selling his Leyden house, he spent some time in London making preparations for the exodus. This is not mentioned in his own History. Arriving on the Mayflower in 1620, his associates turned to him for leader ship after the early death of Governor Carver. He served as Governor of Plymouth Colony, 1621-1632, 1635, 1637, 1639-1643, 1645-1656; and was chosen for the Council, 1633, and was an Assistant, 1634, 1636, 1638, ancl 1644.

Aspinwall entered the following· in his notarial records under date of 16 Nov. 1647: "Mary Branden the widdowe of wm Branden late of Aston Clinton in the Count of Buckingham doth constitute Richard Baldwin of Milford in N :E: her true & lawfull Atturney granting him power to aske & receive an account of ·wm Branden & Th: Branden sonns of Th: Branden of Putnam in the Count of Hertford yeoman of & for a certaine Messuage & lands in Aston Clinton aforesaid due & comeing to her & her son by vertue of her husbands last will & testament, & of the receipt to give acquitance &c: also to compound &c: & to appeare ,before all Lords &c: in any Court &c: to doe say &c: & generally to doe all things &c: ratifyeing"e what shalbe by him done." This proves that William Brandon came from Aston Clinton, co. Bucks, and 11:hat he was son of Thomas Brandon of Puttenham, co. Herts,-these are adjacent towns on either side of the county line,-and that he had a brother Thomas. The reference in his will rt:o his brother ·William's eldest son is an error, and should read Thomas. This is shown by the testimony of Edward Bates, who made oath that William Brandon was of a disposing mind when the will was written, "only he is doubtfull concerning the last clause about his brothers sonne, whether he was then of sound memory." Quite likely his brother's eldest son was named \Villiam, and being ill and fatigued, he inadvertently dictated this name, which was also his own, instead of Thomas. Possibly William's son Thomas returned to England to take possession of his prnperity there. The daughter Hannah died 9 Oct. 1662. There are American descendants at least through the daughter Mary.

On 25 Oct. 1739, Richard Hendee of ·Windham, for "love Goodwill & parental affection that I have & do bear unto my son In Law Thomas Brown of Windham," conveys to Thomas Brown eight acres in Windham, which is part of the farm where the grantor dwells.

His grave stone states that he died 10 Jan. 1773 in his 65th year. This serves to iden tify him closely enough with the son of Sergt. Thomas3 Brown who was born in Ipswich 7 July 1707, though he was actually in his 66th year. , His first marriage, to Mary Lamson, was as plain Thomas Brown, but Mary at death was called wife of "Thomas Brown, Jr., of the Hamlet." His father, Sergt. Thomas, was also described as of the Hamlet. He was called "Thomas, Jr.," in the baptismal records of his two children by Mary, also in the record of his second marriage, to Elizabeth Hendee.* * These facts are stated becaus,e there were o,ther Thomas Browns in Ipswich, and the account in The Essez Antiquarian errs in identifying some of them.

He came with the company which settled Guilford, Conn., and was one of the signers of the "Guilford Covenant" on 1 June 1639. He did not long survive, and his will was proved at Guilford, 13 Oct. 1646. Like the other w1lls of New Haven Colony, it is not extant, the first volume of Colony records having disappeared at leasrt 150 years ago. Francis Bushnell presumably married again after the death of Ferris in 1628, and the "goodwife Bushnell" mentioned in Guilford records in 1648 was probably his second wife. No evidence has been _found for the name Rebecca given her in many printed sources. The second son of Francis, who bore his name, preceded his family to New England, coming in The Planter in 1635; and the eldest son, Edmund, was probably the "goodman Bushnell" who was employed by Gov.

The thr•ee children of Thomas were in England, and Anthony was ordered to pay them £21, and to have the remainder of the £52 estate to be divided between himself and his children. He was on a Grand Jury, 30 June 1663, 27 Nov. 1666, 30 Nov. 1680, and 28 June 1681. He was a witness and overseer of the will of John Marsh of Salem in 1674. He testified in June 1677, aged 76 [probably an error for 66]. He joined many other proprietors of the Com mons of Salem, 26 June 1678, in a petition objecting to the misappropriation of the Commons.

Shurtleff: Plymouth Colony Records, 2-8.] At Gloucester he was a Selectman from 1644 to 1649 inclusive; a Com missioner [Justice] in 1645, and a Deputy to the Mass. General Court, May 1650 and May 1651. At the latter session, he was dismis·sed from attendance, at his own request, because of his removal from the Jurisdiction.

Richard Blinman, Obadiah Bruen and others in migrating to New London, Conn. Although not literate, for he always signed merely with a bold H, he was a man of good native intelligence and discretion, which were quickly recognized in his new home. He served as Deputy for New London to the Conn. General Court, May 1652, May and Oct. 1653, May and Sept. 1654, May and Oct. 1656, Oct. 1657, May 1658, May 1659, and May 1660.

(Chart II, Line 7) JOHN CHARLES Branford, Conn. JoHN1 CHARLES was a signer of the "Fundamental Agreement" at New Haven, 4 June 1639, signing directly under John Moss and above Richard Beach. In the list of estates entered in 1643, but belonging to the period 1639-1641, John Charles's name appears, with a family of four and an estate of £50, again between the names of John Moss and Richard Beach. Later it appears of record that he was "brother" of John Moss, and ther•e is also record evidence that the Beaches were related to Moss. He evidently was licens,ed early to sell wine, for on 18 Feb. 1639/40 he CHARLES FAMILY 193 was forbidden to draw wine because "there hath beene much disorder by itt." In 1643 he was fined with several others for lacking a ladder, and early in 1645 his fence was defective. In Jan. 1646/7, he was sued by a merchant, John Evance, of whose shallop he had been master on a voyage to GuiLford and Saybrook and back to New Haven. The vessel was damaged and some of the cargo lost, and Mr. Evance claimed that negligence on the part of Charles was responsible. It was brought out in the testimony that he was a seaman and not able to read. The case was decided against him and he was required to pay £67 and court charges. It was also mentioned that Charles expected shortly to go to Virginia and thence to England. Shortly after, the Court took further action against Charles, for eX'pressing dissatis faction with the verdict, and fined him £20 to the Jurisdiction for contempt and £50 to Mr. Evance, for slander in saying that Mr. Evanoe cheated him and had no more mercy than a dog. In this connection, John Moss "informed the court that his brother John Charles sayd Mr. Evance had broken his promise once or twice in monney or beauer lent him." After these misfortunes, John Charles disappears from the records for some years, and may have made the contemplated voyage to Virginia and England. In Dec. 1648, he was in this country, but temporarily had gone "into the Baye" (Massachusetts), and John Moss acted as his attorney in a business matter which was before the Court; his wife expected him to "come home ..... next weeke." In 1652 John Charles was before the Town Court of New Haven, charged by J a:mes Rogers of Milford with taking his apprentice boy Daniel Turner with him in his boat to Long Island. Although the case had already been tried in Fairfield Court, and decided in favor of Charles, the New Haven Court decided that it had a right to hear the case; but over two years later, no verdict had been reached. In 1657 goods belonging to Charles in the hands of John Youngs of Southold were attached by two litigants who alleged damages suffered from John Charles in his boat. Just when he settled in Branford, Conn., does not appear, but he seems definitely to have left New Haven in the 1650's. On 2 Oct. 1666, "Martin Tichinor doth Alienate for ever to Henry Glover one house & land & meadow belonging to john Charles, as by a deed of Sale from ye sd Charles unto ye Sd Tichinor doth more fully appeare." He died at Branfbrd in 1673. "An Jnventory of the Estate of John Charls senior late of Brandford deceased taken this fifteernth of October 1673." The total estate was £91.02.00, to which the sum of £6.12.06 was later added, and the estate was debtor only £1.17.06. There was no realty, and an unusual item was £54.15.00 in silver and gold. Debts due to the es'tate amounted to over £67: There is no mention in the records of th~ name of his wife, and she died before him. She may have been sister ~of John Moss, or the r-elationship could have been the other way around, through marriage of Moss to a sister of Charles. Mos't of the knowledge of his children comes from the Court order of distribution, dated 12 Nov. 1673: 194 THE GRANBERRY FAMILY AND ALLIED FAMILIES Upon ye exhibiting of ye inventory of ye estate of Jn° Charles of Brandford late deceased; John Charis ye onely son ..... & Jonathan Rase husband to De [!iv] ered ye onely surviveing daughter . . . . appear,ed in CoUJrt, & desired admstration, [ which was granted, and the fol1awing payments were ordered] : 1.

JoHN1 CLARK was at Cambridge (then Newtown), Mass., as early as 1632, and was made a freeman, 6 Nov. 1632 [Shurtleff's Records of Massachusetts Bay, 1-367]. He was an original proprietor of Hartford, Conn., though he seems not to have gone there with the first settlers. He was, however, a member of the Hartford contingent which took part in the Pequot War, 1637, and received a lot in Soldier's Field there in recognition of his services. Several years later, he removed to Saybrook, Conn., certainly by 1647. CLARK FAMILY 195 He did not, as often stated, represent Saybrook at the General Court in 1644, but his Deputy service began in 1649, the first year in which Saybrook had representation. He was a townsman [Selectman] in 1656. He was Deputy for Saybrook at the Conn. General Court, May 1649, May and Sept. 1651, May 1652, May and Sept. 1653, July and Sept. 1654, May 1655, May and Oct. 1656, Feb., Aug., and Oct. 1657, May and Oct. 1659, May and Oct. 1661, May and Oct. 1662, and May 1663. He was a member of the war committee for Saybrook, May 1653 and Oct. 1654. He was Deputy for Milford, Apr., May and Oct. 1666, May and Oct. 1667, and Oct. 1668. He was named as a Patentee of the Royal Charter of Connecticut, 1662. He was appointed Commissioner [Justice] for Saybrook, 1664, and for Milford, 1665 to 1674. [Conn. Col.

He seems to have removed to Norwich for a short time before settling in Milford, Conn. He was admitted to the church in Milford in 1665, recorded as being dismissed from Norwich. On 4 June 1673, "Mr. John Clarke & Serg Daniell Buckingham ordained Ruling Elders." After thiis entry is appended the notation that M" Clarke died 5 Feb. following, that is, 5 Feb. 1673/4. Despite his residence in Milford, no evidence has been seen that he was related to the Milford Clarks. The statement frequently made that he was brother of George Clark, "Junior," or "Farmer" of Milford is based on the fact that George Clark's will referred to legacies given to his children by his brothers John and Daniel ; but it is clear from the context that these brothers of George had died in England. In any event, George Clark's brother John cannot be "Elder" John Clark of Milford, for the Elder' s will gave his property to his own children and grandchlildren, and does not give a legacy to George's children. The will of John Clarke of Milford, dated 17 Feb. 1672 [1672/3], gave to "my son John Clarke of Saybrooke" various lands, "my silver cup at Milford, & a silver spoone marked E. C :" [perhaps the initials of his first wife, mother of his children]; and named his daughter Elizabeth Pratt, his f son William Pratt, his daughter Sarah Huntington, and certain grand- children; his wife was to have £20 and something extra, and Abigail Fletcher was to receive her portion; son William Pratt and son J'ohn Clarke to be executors; the will was not signed until 19 Jan. 1673 [1673/4]. The Court took further action later, concerning the dower of the widow, Mrs. Mary Clarke. [New Haven Probate Records, 1 (part 2)-54 to 56; New Haven County Court Records, 1-73, 78, 79.] His first wife may have been named Elizabeth, if the "E C" on the spoon were her initials; she wa~ mother of his children. His second wife was Mary (Ward) Fletcher, widow of John Fletcher of Milford. 196 THE GRANBERRY FAMILY AND ALLIED FAMILIES References E. E. and E. M.

AuGUSTINE1 CoBB, born , died ; married ------. Among the early settlers of Taunton, Mass., were John and Edward Cobb. Edward married 28 Nov. 1660, Mary Haskins, and died before 4 Oct. 1675, when administration on his estate was granted to his widow Mary.* She was proba:bly the "Widow Cobb" who married at Taunton, 15 May 1676, Samuel Phillips. John Cobb was surveyor of highways at Taunton, 7 June 1653, 1 June 1658, and 5 June 1666. On 2 Aug. 1653, he was on an inquest to determine the cause of death of a man from Portsmouth, R. I., who was found dead near Taunton. He was on the Grand Inquest, 6 June 1660, and on juries of inquest, 5 July 1664 and 18 Nov. 1667, and on 30 Oct. 1667 was appointed to run the line of ,the bounds of Dartmouth. He was fined 20 shillings, 29 Oct. 1668, for turbulent behaviior at Plymouth in the time of the previous Court, and particularly for reviling against Thomas Linkolne [Lincoln], but on 3 June 1673 was Constable of Taunton. Augustine or Austin Cobb was nephew of John Cobb, Sr., but no evidence has been found that his father ever came to New England. From the fact that Augustine named his eldest son Morgan, it is surmised that his father's name was Morgan Cobb, and strength is added to this surmise !J:>y his uncle John Cobb also naming a son Morgan. Augustlne first appears in Taunton records in 1670. ' "This 6 day of October 1670 John Cobb Senr hath this day in Town Meeting hath freely given to his cousin Astin Cob and his heirs thirty acres of upland and meadow for to keep four cattle at his farm on the three mile river. This 6 day of October 1670 Astin Cob received into town as an inhabitant." [Old Proprietary Records of Taunton, copy, 4-227.] This giH from his uncle was later confirmed by deed, after the uncle's marriage. On 13 Aug. 1679, John Cobb, Sr., of Taunton, for love and respect, conveyed "unto his cozen Austen Cobb of Taunton," 30 acres of upland and 4 acres of meadow land in Taunton. And on 8 Mar. 1682/3, * They had a son Edward who m. at Taunton, 18 Dec. 1689, Sarah Rackett; she d. at Taunton, 13 Aug. 1726 ae. 66. COBB FAMILY 197 Austin Cobb of Taunton, for £3, purchased from John Cobb, Sr., 2¼ acres of swampy land and upland in Taunton "near a place called by the name of Newton." In this cleecl, the grantee's name also appears in the form "Augus tin" Cobb. [Land Rec. Bristol County, 8-722, 723.] Austine Cobb was on a jury of inquest, 30 Oct. 1678. Augustine Cobb had the following children recorded in Taunton:* Elizabeth, b. 10 Feb. 1670/1. Morgan, b. 29 Dec. 1673 [called Sr. and Ensign; d. 30 Sept. 1755 in 82d yir.; m. Abigail --, who d. 29 or 30 Jan. 1765 in 81st yr.]. Samuel, b. 9 Nov. 1675 [ called Jr. ; d. 1732; m. Lydia Haskins]. Bethiah, b. 5 Apr. 1678. Mercy, b. 12 Aug. 1680. Abigail, b. 28 May 1684. It seems not unlikely that John Cobb, Sr., had intended to make his nephew Augustine his chief heir. He was evidently, in his earlier years at Taunton, a widower or the husband of a childless wife. But on 13 June 1676 he married a young widow, Jane (Godfrey) Woodward, born about 1651, died (as "Jean" widow of John Cobb) at Taunton, 19 Mar. 1736 in 85th year. By her first husband, Israel Woodward, who had died 15 June 1674, she already had two children, Elizabeth and Israel. She presented her elderly husband with three children, the first recorded, the two younger proved by his will : John, b. 31 Mar. 1678. Morgan, b. [say 1680; called Jr.; perhaps the "Old" or "Capt." Morgan who d. 28 Apr. 1769; m. Sarah Harvey]. Samuel, b. [say 1682; called Jr.; d. before 1733, probably some years earlier]. Augustine Cobb had no will or probate in Bristol County, Mass., but the will of his uncle and benefactor is of considerable interest. John Cobb of Taunton, blacksmith, calling himself "Aged & attended with ye infirmityes incident to old age," made his will 25 Nov. 1690, proved 18 Nov. 1691. He appointed John Hodges and Samuel Waldron executors and overseers. His "now wife" was to have life use until his children become 21, sh~ to maintain the children and apprentice them. He left to his son John "my now dwelling house, shop and smith tools," two home lots and half of a half purchase right; and to his son Morgan, his farm in "N uten" and the other half of the half purchase right, each son to take his land at ,the age of 21. To son Samuel, daughter Elizabeth W oodwarcl, and son Israel Woodward, one shilling each. [Probate Rec. Bristol County, 1-38.] The cutting off of the son Samuel, who could have been only a young child at the time, with a shilling, is most unusual, and raised the question whether the Morgan and Samuel named in the will were perhaps foster-sons and identical with the sons of Augustine. That turns out not to be so, for * One Elizabeth Cobb m. 26 May 1687, Samuel Knap, and another m. 23 Feb. 1697 /8, Jabez Pratt. It is possible that the first was widow, and the second, daughter, of Augustine Cobb. 198 THE GRANBERRY FAMILY AND ALLIED FAMILIES the deeds and other records show that there were two Morgans and two Samuels in the next generation; John's sons Morgan and Samuel were .both called "Jr." or "2nd," being younger than his nephew Augustine's sons of identical name.* References Taunton, Mass., Vital Rewrds (printed), 1-93, 94.

He carried on a tanning business about a mile below Wethersfield Village, on the Middletown road. In 1661 Leonard Dix won a case against Benjamin and Henry Crane in regard to a partnership account for the use of a man and team.

Waters, in his history of Ipswich, credits John Denison also, with service in the Quebec Expedition of 1691. 206 THE GRANBERRY FAMILY AND ALLIED FAMILIES 3 Feb. 1571, buried at Roxbury, Mass., 25 Jan. 1653/4; married at Bishop's Stortford, 7 Nov. 1603, MARGARET ( CHANDLER) MoNCK, baptized at Bishop's Stortford, 13 Oct. 1577, buried at RoXJbury, 3 Feb. 1645/6, daughter of John and Joan (---) Chandler, and widow of Henry Monck. He was son of John Denyson of Thorley, Hertfordshire, who was living at Bishop's Stortford at least as early as 1566 and died there of the plague and was buried 4 Dec. 1582. His mother was Agnes Willie, who married second, at Bishop's Stortford, 1 May 1584, John Gase. William's brother Edward settled in Ireland in 1631 and had a son John, Major of a Regiment and Deputy-Governor of Cork. William's youngest brother, George (1582-1642), remained in Stortford. William and his family, except the eldest son John, came to New Eng-land in 1631 and settled in Roxbury, Mass. The first minister at Roxbury, Rev. John Eliot, known as the Apostle to the Indians, in his record of church members wrote: "William Dennison, he brought 3 children to N. E. all sons: Daniel, Edward, & George." Also, "Margret Dennison, the wife of Willia Dennison, It pleased God to work vpon her heart & change it in her ancient years, after she came to this Land; & joyned to the church in the yeare 1632." His son, Major-General Daniel ·Denison, left an autobiography written in 1672 and addressed to his grandchildren, but not published until 1892. He stated that "my Dear father" was named William, and that the name of "my dear Mother" was Chandler. Gen. Denison also wrote that, after the death of his brother W,illiam in Holland-"We wer·e now but four Brothers left (viz.) John, Daniel, Edward and George. John and myseLf were bred schollars at Cambridge, where I continued till after I had taken my first Degree, my father though very well seated in Stratford [ should be Stortford], hearing of the then famous trans plantation to New England, unsetled himself and recalling me from Cam bridge removed himself and family in the year 1631 to New England, and brought over with him myself be,ing about 19 years of ag,e, and my two younger Brothers, Edward, and George, leaving my eldest Brother John behind him in England, Marryed with a good portion, who was a minister, and lived about Pelham or in Hartford shier, not far from Stratford [Stort ford] where we were born. "My father brought with him into New England a very good Estate and settled himself at Roksbury, and ,there Lived though somewhat weakning his Estate) till the year 1653 in January when he died, having buried my Mother about Eight years before." Vvilliam Denison was made a freeman, 3 July 1632. He was chosen Con stable of Roxbury, 4 Mar. 1633/4, and served as Deputy to the Massa chusetts General Court, Mar. 1634/5.

His eldest son, John Denison, who remained in England, was educated at Queen's College, Cam?ridge (M.A., 1627), and became vicar at Standon, DENISON FAMILY 207 co. Herts. William's third surviving son, Daniel, was educated at King's College and Emmanuel, Cambridge University, but after receiving his B.A. (1629/30) was recalled by his father to join the family in migrating to New England. Daniel married a daughter of Gov. Thomas Dudley, settled in Ipswich, Mass., was Assistant of the Colony for nearly thirty years, and rose to be Major-General of the colony forces. William's second son and namesake (William) went with the English army to Holland in 1624 to attempt to raise the Siege of Breda, and never return ing, is supposed to have lost his life there.

Herts, England, 10 Dec. 1620, died at Hartford, Conn., 23 Oct. 1694; married first, in 1640, Bridget Tompson, baptized at Preston Capes, co. N orthants, England, 11 Sept. 1622, died at Roxbury, Mass., Aug. 1643, daughter of John and Alice (Freeman) Tompson; married second, in England, about 1645, ANN BoRODELL, who died at Stonington, Conn., 26 Sept. 1712, aged 97. His brother, Gen. Daniel Denison, wrote in 1672: "My two brothers Edward and George had all the Estate my father left between them, being both marryed long before my father's death; my Brother George buried his first Wife in the year 1643, went into England was a Souldier ther above a year, was at the Battle of York, or Marston Moor, where he did good service,. was afterward taken Prisoner, but got free and having Married a second Wife he returned to New England, the year before our Mother died, and not long after removed himself to New London near whereunto (viz) at Stonington he now liveth, having 3 sons John, William, and George, 4 or 5 Daughters . . . . . 3 of his Daughters are 1\farryed to Stanton, Palmer; and Cheesebrook, all living at present in the same Town." The family tradition that George served in Cromwell's J\rmy is thus verified by his own brother's account. The story is also told that he was wounded and was nursed at the house of John Borodell by his daughter Ann, whom he married. He removed to New London, Conn., after his return to this country, and a few years later to Stonington, Conn., where he spent the remainder of his life. He served as Deputy from New London to ,the Connecticut General Court, Sept. 1653, May 1654, and Feb. 1657; and from Stonington, Oct. 1671, Oct. 1674, May 1675, May 1678, Oct. 1682, May and Oct. 1683, May, July and Oct. 1684, May and Oct. 1685, May 1686, May 1687, Sept. 1689, May, Sept. and Oct. 1693, and May 1694. He was thus in the public service until the 208 THE GRANBERRY FAMILY AND ALLIED FAMILIES end of his life; but his chief fame was in military affairs, for which his participation in the English Civil War had prepared him. He was called Captain in 1653, when first mentioned in Connecticut records, but no record of appointment is found, and it may then have been a courtesy title, based on his having held a commission in England. He served on the Vv ar Committee for New London in 1653 and 1654, when war threatened with the Dutch. Although 56 years old, he served as Captain in King Philip's War in 1676, being in command of the New London County Troop, and second in command of the Army. He was appointed Provost Marshal, l\fay 1677. In Sept. 1689 he was chosen Captain of volunteers to go against the enemy. [Conn.

(ELDER) THOMAS 1 DIMMOCK, born died at Barnstable, Mass., 1658; married ANN ---. He was one of the grantees, with Rev. Joseph Hull, of the lands in the town of Barnstable in 1639. He was elected an Elder of the Church, 7 Aug. 1650. He was admitted freeman of Plymouth Cofony, 3 Dec. 1639., He served as Committee (or Deputy) for Barnstable to the Plymouth General Court, Dec. 1639, June 1640, June 1641, June 1642, Oct. 1643, June 1648, June 1649, and June 1650. He was appointed Magistrate at Barnstable, June 1640, and June 1644. In Sept. 1642 he was on the Coundl of War. He was appointed Lieutenant for Barnstable, Ott. 1643; in Mar. 1645/6, he was presented for neglecting to exeroise their men in arms, but was discharged, and he was confirmed Lieutenant, July 1646.

John Lothrop, has little merit in our 210 THE GRANBERRY FAMILY AND ALLIED FAMILIES opinion. It was ,based on Lothrop's referring to Thomas Dimmock and Samuel House as his brothers-in-law. But we now know that Samuel House was brother of Lothrop's first wife, which explains that relationship, and no evidence has been seen that William Hammond had a daughter (much less two daughters) named Ann, and the marriage of his daughter Elizabeth Hammond to Samuel House has no ,bearing. It seems certain that Dimmock's wife was not a sister of Lothrop nor of Lathrop's first wife. It seems unlikely that Dimmock's wife Ann was sister of Lathrop's second wife Ann, as it was rare for sisters to have the same name. The likeliest solution is that Lothrop's second wife was a sister of Thomas Dimmock. Qualifying ancestor, Society of Colonial Dames of America, and Society of Colonial Wars.

EATON FAMILY 213 "Wm Eaton of Staple husbandman & Martha his Wief," with children John, Martha and Albe, and servant Jonas Eaton, took passage from the port of Sandwich, co. Kent, according to a list dated 11 May 1637. He settled first at Wateritown, Mass., where he and Jonas were land owners. Later they both removed to Reading, Mass., and were admitted freemen, 18 May 1653. William Eaton was born about 1607 according to statements of his age in depositions, and in 1670 Jonas Eaton gave his age as 52 [Middle sex Court Files]. Jonas was probably brother of W,il!iam, and certainly was not his son, as erroneously stated in the Eaton genealogy. ·William Eaton was married a,t St. John's in Thanet (Margate), co. Kent, 28 Jan. 1627/8, to Martha Jenkin, and their children were Mary (d. young), Martha (1630), Alba (1632), William (d. young), John (1635), Daniel (1639), and 1viary (b. 8 Apr. 1643). The children of Jonas Eaton were: Mary, b. 8 Feb. 1643/4; John, b. 10 Oct. 1645; J qnas, b. 28 Sept. 1647, d. 14 Oct. 1647; Jonas, b. 24 Sept. 1648; Sarah (not recorded), b. in 1650; Joseph, b. 5 Jan. 1651/2; Joshua, b. 4 Dec. 1653; Jonathan, b. 6 Dec. 1655; and David, b. 22 Sept. 1657, d. 7 Oct. 1657. The marriage of Sarah Eaton to Joseph Dodge was recorded both in Beverly (21 Feb. 1671) where he lived and in Reading (28 Feb. 1671), which must have been the home of the bride. She was not daughter of William Eaton, as we know from his will, and there is a gap in the births of the children of Jonas at just the date when she was born. Furthermore, she named a son Jonah. Finally, Joseph the son of Jonas Eaton later moved to Beverly, where the Dodges lived, and in 1677 J-0seph Dodge and Joseph Eaton were associated in taking the inventory of the estate of Thomas Pickton of Salem. In the Beverly Church records we read, under date of 4 Dec 1684: "ye case of Joseph Eaton a childe of ye covenant in ye church in Reddin, but living in this towne desiered to putit himself under ye discipline of Christ in this Church & have baptisme for his children." There were other marriage connections between the Dodge family of Bev erly and the Eaton family of Reading. Richard Dodge, Jr., married 23 Feb. 1667 /8, Marah Eaton. She may have been Sarah's sister; but since she named children Daniel and Martha, more likely she was Sarah's cousin, daughter of William and Martha Eaton and sister of Daniel. , Joseph and Sarah (Eaton) Dodge had a son, Joseph, Jr., who married in 1705 Priscilla Eaton of Reading; she appears to have been daughter of Daniel and grand daughter of William Eaton, hence second cousin of her husband.

He first appears in Dorchester, Mass., about 1660,· and was granted land at Unquity, which in 1662 became the town of Milton. It has been asserted that his mother was a Rebecca "Fenner" who, aged 25, sailed on the Truelove in 1635 ; but if so, it is strange that John, then a boy of about six, was not listed as coming wi:th her. It is also said that Rebecca had a grant of land from Dorchester in 1660. It should be noted that the Rebecca Fenno, Senior, who was admitted to Milton Church, 12 Aug. 1683, was John's wife, who then had an adult daughter Rebecca; and the Rebecca who died in 1690 was described as wife of John. John's will, dated Aug. 1702, refers to his property in "Lancashire in y" Realme of England." The will, which is printed in full in the Woolson Fenno book, named sons John, Benjamin and Ephraim; son Joseph who went in the Expedition to Canada and not heard from; daughter Elizabeth, to have £50, other daughters Rebecca and Mary having already received £50 apiece. He served in King Philip's War, in the company of Capt. Isaac Johnson who was slain at the Fort Fig·ht, and after the battle was succeeded by Capt. John Jacob. He appears in rolls dated 10 Dec. 1675, 24 Apr. 1676, and 24 Aug. 1676. [G. M. Bodge: Soldiers in King Philip's War (1906), pp. 161-163, 369.] Qualifying ancestor, Society of Colonial Wars.

JoHN1 FOBES, born , died at Bridgewater, Mass., in 1660; married (perhaps at Duxbury, Mass.), CONSTANT MITCHELL. She married second, 1662, John Briggs, of Portsmouth, R. I., who died in 1690. On 6 Oct. 1636, John Vobes was granted five acres "next to the glade on Powder Point," and on 2 Oct. 1637, "Twenty acres of land are gTaunted to John Vobes, lying at Greens Harbors Payth." John Vobes was among those propounded, 3 Mar. 1645/6, to take up their freedom at the next court. FOBES FAMILY 217 His first home was in Duxbury, Mass., at a time when Experience Mitchell was living there. His name is invariably spelled Vobes in the Plymouth Colony Records. Nahum Mitchell (Harvard College, 1789) in his History of Bridgewater published in 1840 stated that John Fobes married Constant Mitchell, sister of Experience. Mr. Mitchell's grandfather was a grandson of EX1perience Mitchell, a branch of the family which had resided continuously in Bridgewater, where a branch of the Fobes family also remained, and his early interest in the genealogy of the families of that town and his relative closeness in time to the early settlers inclines us to accept his statement. The names Experience and Constant belong to the same class of "moral" names much favored by certain Puritan parents. Experience Mitchell came to Plymouth in the Ann in 1623, aged 14, and lived in Duxbury from 1631 until late in life when he removed to Bridgewater with his son Edward. That there was a connection between the Mitchell and Fobes families may also be indicated by certain records .. Experience Mitchell of Duxbury con veyed land, 8 Jan. 1679, to Edward "foabs" of Bridgewater, cooper; Edward was son of John Fobes, and Experience Mitchell also named a son Edward. Jacob Mitchell of Dartmouth, SOh of Experience, died in 1675, in King Philip's War, and in 1691 administration on his unsettled estate was granted to Edward Mitchell of Bridgewater [brother of Jacob] and to Thomas Mitchell [ son of Jacob], with Edward Fobes of Bridgewater as surety on their bond. John Vobes was Constable of Duxbury, 5 June 1651. In 1656 he became one of the original proprietors of Bridgewater, Mass., and on 1 Mar. 1658/9 served on a jury of inquest. A request was made 13 June 1660 by "the widdow Vobes . . . . for land . . . . on an indenture made betwixt Mr Isacke Allerton and her husband, John V obes, late deceased." On 3 June 1662, Capt. Willett was commissioned to purchase lands of the Indians "which is granted vnto such that were servants and others that are ancient freemen." John V obes was mentioned as one of these, though we know he was not then living, and the land must have been $et out to his heirs. His son Edward was propounded for freeman, 1 June 1680, and was Con stable of Bridgewater, 7 June 1681. According to Nahum Mitchell, his children were John, who died at George Allen's in Sandwich in 1661; (Deacon) Edward of Bridgewater; Mary; Caleb, who went to Norwich, Conn.; William, who settled in Little Compton, R. I.; Joshua, who died in battle near Attleboro in 1676; and Elizabeth. Col. Charles E. Banks believed the Mitchell family was from Eltisley, co. Cambridge, England, where an Edward Mitchell was resident in 1628. References N. B. Shurtleff: Plymouth Colony Records, 1-44, 45, 66; 2-95, 167; 3-160, 195; 4-193; 6-42, 60.

According to Miss Caulkins, Caleb Fobes, or Forbes as she styles him, received a land grant in Norwich, Conn., in 1672, and was Constable on the east side (Preston) in 1685. He was one of the first purchasers of land in what is now Preston, buying 110 acres from the Indian Sachem, Owaneco [Land Rec. Preston, 1-125.] He was an organizer of the Preston Church, 16 Nov. 1698, and became a deacon; his wife "Marah" renewed her Covenant in 1699. The date of Caleb's death is stated in the inventory of his estate, which was appraised at £625.07.03. The names and ages of his children were appended: Caleb Fobes, 21; Sarah Bishup, 26; Mary, 16; John, 15; and Elizabeth, 10. His widow, Marah Fobes, made oath to the inventory, 12 Sept. 1710, and she and the son Caleb gave bond as administrators.

John Winthrop, FRENCH FAMILY 219 wrote to him from Groton, co. Suffolk, about an apprentice girl he was send ing. "She is one of goodman Frenches daughters of Assington. I have sent 2 of them, one for y" father, and the other for you. yr father must take his choyse. The eldest must serve for 3 yeeres, & the youngest 4 . . . . . I praye let them be delt with as well wthall as any of the same quality." At Assington, Thomas and Susan (Riddlesdale) French had the following children entered in the registers of St. Edmund's Church: Thomas, bapt. 27 Nov. 1608; Alice, bapt. 9 Apr. 1610; Dorcas, bapt. 31 July 1614; Susan, bapt. 22 Apr. 1616; Anne, bapt. 15 Mar. 1617/18; Margaret, bapt. 12 Mar. 1619/20, bur. 25 Nov. 1635; John, bapt. 26 May 1622; Mary bapt. 6 Jan. 1624/5. Some of the children came to New England, apparently, in advance of their parents. Alice married Thomas Howlett of Ipswich about 1634. Dorcas married at Roxbury, Mass., 3 Jan. 1636/7, Christopher Peake. The girls who were sent to Winthrop may have been these, or more likely Susan and Anne. The eldest son, Thomas, came first, probably with ·Winthrop in the Lion. It was Thomas, Jr., who ,vas made freeman, 6 Nov. 1632, and was dismissed from Boston Church 27 Jan. 1638/9 to that of Ipswich. He had a wife Mary, and had removed to Ipswich perhaps as early as 1635, for on 20 Feb. 1636, "There was granted to Serjent French ten acres" in Ipswich. Rev. Nathaniel Rogers, the vicar of Assington, came over in 1636 and became pastor at Ipswich. Thomas French, Sr., may have come with him, for he seems to have been in Assing1.on as late as 1635 when his daughter Margaret died there. Alice French was a member of the Boston Church and was dismissed to Ipswich, 16 June 1644. Thomas French, Jr., was early a Sergeant, and later known as Ensign. On 5 Nov. 1639, "The administration of the goods of Thomas French, deceased, is comited to his wife, & the land w"h hee left is to bee disposed of by sale, or otherwi-se, by advise of the magistrats of Ipswich, for the maintenance of his wife & education of his children, wch are not yet able to 1wide for themselues, nor were disposed of in their fathers life." This applies of course to 1.he family of Thomas French, Sr., of Assington, some of whose children were already married, while two were _still minors. , Administration on the estate of Susan French of Ipswich was granted, 28 Sept. 1658, to her son, John French.

The s1:ory is told that the shortness of his sermons gave offense to some, and he replied that if orthodox they were long enough for Poquonock. In Oct. 1726, then residing in \Vethersfield, Mr. Fuller appealed for redress to the General Assembly, and upon renewal of his peti tion, May 1727, he was awarded £50 damages. In 1727 the township of Willington, Conn., was constituted and a church was gathered. He was called to the first pastorate there, and was ordained in Sept. 1728, remaining there until his death of small-pox in 1758. His gravestone, in Willington Hill Old Cemetery, calls him "Rev.

Besides Poole's Annotations, he had the works of Dr. Bates and Mr. Flavell, three Bibles, a Latin Bible and Dictionary, a Greek Testament and Lexicon, and other books. His clothing included a "black Coat, Jackoat & Breeches," hat and gloves, "Wigg," a cane, and knee buckles and shoe buckles, which give us a fleeting impression of him when dressed in his best.

He was a friend of Governor Winthrop and came with the Winthrop Fleet in 1630. Wyman calls him a surgeon, from Little Waldingfield, co. Suffolk; Banks educes him from Winthrop's home town of Groton in the same county. Miss Caulkins quotes that he was "a right godly man, and a skilful chyrurgeon," and states that he was a deacon of the Charlestown church and that he died with his wife and two children in 1630.

J OHN 2 GAGER, born in England, by 1625 or earlier, died at Norwich, Conn., 10 Dec. 1703; married ELIZABETH GORE, born about 1627, died after 1704, doU!btless daughter of Samuel Gore, of London, England. The elder Governor Winthrop, in his will, 29 Oct. 1639, directed: "I will that Jo: Gager shall have a Cowe, one of the best I shall have, in recompence of a heifer his father bought of me: and an 2 ewe goats, and 10 bushels of Indian Corne." Doubtless he came to Pequot (New London) with the younger Winthrop. He is recorded as present at a Town Meeting in New London, 10 Nov. 1650, and as one of those who "wrought at the Mill Dam," July 1651. He sold his homestead to Miles Moore about 1657, and settled with Robert 224 THE GRANBERRY FAMILY AND ALLIED FAMILIES Allyn in the extreme northern section of New London. In 1660 he became an original proprietor of Norwich, Conn., where all his children were recorded, though the first six must have been born in New London. He was Constable of Norwich in 1674 and 1688. Peter Collins of Pequot (New London), in his will dated 7 May 1655, made John Gager "my full heire and Executor," and gave him some livestock and household goods, but nevertheless gave his house and homelot to Richard Poole and land in the Neck to Jacob Waterhouse. In 1653 Robert Hempstead of New London made Obadiah Bruen and John Gag,er feoffees in trus,t to see to the execution of his will. The identity of John Gager's wife has been something of a puzzle. The younger John Winthrop in 1667 mentioned Hannah Gifford as "sister to John Gagers wife Norwich," and he also mentioned, about 1664, Sarah Gager, aged 13, daughter of John, Norwich [Medical Journal, pp. 770, 445]. Hannah Gifford was the first wife of Stephen Gifford (born about 1641, died 27 Nov. 1724, aged 83) whose marriage is recorded at Norwich, May 1667, to Hannah Gore (she died 24 Jan. 1670/1). The name was incorrectly rendered Gove by Savage. Study of New England Gore families failed to reveal the parentage of the sisters ElizaJbeth (born probably about 1627) and Hannah (born probably after 1640). But on 19 May 1643, Mary Gore, daughter of Samuel Gore. "Citizen and Grocer of London deceased," apprenticed herself to John Winthrop, Jr., and the following clay Elizabeth Gore s,igned an agreement with him, in effect making him her guardian. It can hardly be doubted that Eliza:beth was Mary's sister. Presumaibly Hannah, who was much younger, came to New England later. Both Elizabeth and Hannah named a son Samuel, which accords with the conclusion that they were sisters of Mary and daughters of Samuel Gore of London. [Winthrop Papers, 4-378, 379.] The will of John Gager of Norwich, elated 21 Dec. 1695, proved 9 Jan. 1703/4, calls himself "now Aged & full of dayes," and gave twenty shillings each to "my six sons that married my daughters (viz.) John Allen, Daniiell Bruster, Jeremiah Ripply, Simon Huntington, Joshua Abell, Caleb ffobes." He gave to his "loueing & kind son only son & heire the one halfe of all my personable & mooueable estate his mother haueing taken her first choice," and afterward referred to this son as Samuell. He ~lso mentioned deeds given to the husbands of his daughters, and made his wife and son Executors. Mrs. Elizabeth Gager made oath to the inventory, 10 Jan. 1703/4.

This settler died so early that he left no history, and he seems not to have been a church member, for Eliot does not mention him, and the widow did not join the church until after his death. He was a freeman, 17 May 1637. [Shurtleff's Records of Mass. Bay, J-373.] The younger Thomas, doubtless his son, was made a freeman, 2 June 1641, the year he married.

Middlesex, England. Peter Gardner, aged 18, sailed on the Elizabeth from London, 17 Apr. 1635. 226 THE GRANBERRY FAMILY AND ALLIED FAMILIES Thomas and Peter Gardner, doubtless brothers, were early settlers in Roxbury, Mass. Thomas named a son Peter, and Peter named a son Thomas; and in 1649, when Thomas bought land in Boston, Peter Gardner witnessed the deed. About 1649, no date 'Specified, Rev. John Eliot entered in his church records the admission of "Thomas Gardiner," and immediately beneath that of "Widdow Gardiner." A little later, evidently early in 1649/50, these two admissions appear together: "Goodwife Gardiner, y0 wife of Thomas Gardiner," and "Goodwife Gardiner the wife of Peter Gardiner." On 7 Oct. 1658 Eliot entered, "0' aged Sister Gardiner was buryed." The widow who joined the church about 1649 and died in 1658 was undoubtedly the mother of Thomas and Peter. On 11 June 1675, Mr. Eliot recorded, "Sister Gardner, wife of Peter Gardner, was buryed. She died in the Lord sweetly." The notarial records of William Aspinwall, the Suffolk County Recorder, contain the fo1lowing entry under date of 12 Dec. 1646: "Peter Gardiner of Roxbury Carpente' & Rebecca his wife Constituted Michaell Powell of Dedham in N :E: theire lawfull Attumey to a:ske & receive &c: a certain Legacie ( from the Executors of her father or the Execur• of them) given unto the said Rebecca by the last will & testament of Roger Crooke of Ham mersmith neer London Tailor deceased, & of the receipt to give acquit tance &c :" This confirms the vital records as to Rebecca's maiden name, which Savage brashly doubted, and shows her parentage and place of origin. The actual will of Roger Crooke of Hammersmith in the parish of Fulham, co. Middle sex, not dated, but proved 2 Mar. 1638/9, was found by Miss Elizabeth French (later Mrs. Bartlett) and an abstract printed in 1909. He named sons \;vaiter, Christopher, John and Samuel, and daughters Mary, Rebecca, and Ruth. The eldest son Walter was to have certain leasehold property by making payments to the other heirs, but died before the estate was settled, and Christopher Crooke was granted administration, 25 May 1645. This was doubtless the occasion of the action started by Rebecca and her husband in 1646. On 5 May 1676, Peeter Gardiner and Jonathan Prescott were appointed messengers to the Indians to treat about English captives of the Indians. On 10 Feb. 1681/2, he signed (by mark) the deed of tl:\e Indians regarding Nipmuck land. [ Shurtle-ff's Records of Mass. Bay, 5-93, 367.] Qualifying ancestor, Society of Colonial Wars.

William Goodrich of Hegesett, co. Suffolk, England. who died there without issue in 1678, leaving the remainder of his estate, after the death of his wife Rebecca, to sons of his brothers John and William. After the death of Mrs. Rebecca Goodrich in 1698, claim was made to this property by the American heirs. In Connecticut Archives, Private Controversies ( 5-240 to 243) are letters written by Henry Bull of Bury St. Edmonds, co. Suffolk, a "cousin" of the Goodriches, from 1678 to 1698, to advise them as to these affairs in England, and a power of attorney given by J onathan2 Goodrich, son of J ohn1, in 1703, together with affidavits to prove that Jonathan was then the only surviving son of John, and an heir to the estate of (Rev.) William Goodrich. The sta:tement that Elizabeth, first wife of J ohn1 Goodrich, was a daughter of Thomas Edwards, found in most printed accounts, was controverted in The American Genealogist (11-44, 45), on the ground that Thomas Edwards, by his age at death, was born about 1621, whereas Elizabeth's first child was born in 1645, at which date her alleged father was only 24 years old. John Goodrich is said to have been Constable of Wethersfield in 1663 or· 1664. His will was made some years before his death, on 9 June 1672, which named among others his sons John, Joseph, and Jonathan. Thereafter, he married again; his son John, Jr., died in 1678, leaving a widow and a daughter who soon died ; and in other ways his circumstances had changed. The inventory of his estate, amounting to over £651, was taken 6 Apr. 1680, but the Court declined to accept the will. The lands were set to the two sons, with portions of £100 to each of the three daughters. The son Joseph died shortly in Sudbury, Mass., without issue. Jonathan in 1680 chose (Lieut.) Samuel Steele for his guardian. In 1702 Sergt. Crafts [his father-in-law], on behalf of Jonathan Goodrich, asked an account of his administration from Daniel Rose, husband of Jonathan's eldest sister. This was rendered to the satisfaction of the Court, but in 1704 Moses Crafts, as attorney for Jonathan Goodrich, brought action again. Rose countered by applying for a settlement of the estate of John Goodrich, Jr. [brother of Jonathan], but the Court found that Jonathan had taken t,itle to his brother John's !'ands long before, and that Rose had already rendered his account in the estate of John, Sr., so both actions were dismissed.

NATHANIEL1 HADLOCK, born in England, , died at Watertown, Mass., in 1653; married MARY---, born , died perhaps at Concord, Mass., 27 Sept. 1683. She married second, Roger Draper, of Concord, as his second wife. The early Hadlocks have proved extremely difficult. There is no question that J ohn1 Marcy married Sarah Hadlock, daughter of James and Sarah (Draper) Hadlock of Roxbury, Mass., but no record of birth or death has been found for her father James Hadlock, and his parentage and even his identity are uncertain. Hoyt and Perley in their cited works both identify him with James Hadlock of Salem, Mass., by including the birth of Sarah of Roxbury among the children of the Salem man. That is certainly wrong. Yet the surname is not a common one, and we must believe that James of Roxbury fits somehow into the early Hadlock family. Nathaniel and James Hadlock were early residents of Charlestown, Mass. * The Anccstr;v of Katharine Choate Paul, p. 141, refers to a later Court record, of 17 Sept, 1672, in which Thomas Adgate and John Post were appointed guardians to the children and overseers to the widow, there called Sarah. The County Court in Sept. 1672 did not convene on the 17th, and examination of the records in that and subsequent years has failed to locate the alleged entry. 236 THE GRANBERRY FAMILY AND ALLIED FAMILIES Nathaniel was an inhabitant there in 1638, and was made freeman of Massa chusetts Bay, 6 May 1646. In 1647, in answer to the petition of the inhabi tants of Nashaway [Lancaster], where about nine families were then living, the General Court granted a township and appointed "Edward Brecke, Nathaniell Hadlocke, Willjam Carby, Tho Saujer, Jn° Prescott and Ralfe Haughton, or any fower of them," to order the affairs of the township during the period of organization. Lancaster was admitted to the full privilege of a township, 14 May 1654. lVIary Hadlock was admitted to the Charlestown First Church, 30 Nov. 1643, and Nathaniel Hadlocke was admitted, 10 Sept. 1644. Nathaniel Had lock had two children recorded at Charlestown: Mary, b. 31 May 1641; and Nathaniel, b. 5 June 1643. Presumably there were other children, older and younger. His widow married Roger Draper of Concord, Mass., and it seems a safe assumption that Hadlocks appearing there in the next generation were children of Nathaniel. We find there the marriage of Deborah Hadlocke on 4 Dec. 1673 to Abraham Temple, the marriage of John Hadlocke on 13 May 1673 to Elizabeth Stow, and the death of Elizabeth wife to John Hadlock on 8 July 1675.* The son Nathaniel served in the Lancaster Garrison, 25 Jan. 1675/6, in King Philip's War. He may be the Nathaniel Hadlock who was punished at a Salem Court, Nov. 1668, for attending a Quaker meeting and speaking in favor of that sect. If so, he settled in Gloucester, Mass., where he mar ried, 1 May 1673, Remember Jones, and took the Oath of Fidelity in 1677. John Hadlock, whose wife died at Concord in 1675, appears in the list of "Soldiers yt were in ye Fall Fight" which was drawn up in 1736, but the place of residence was not stated. He certainly survived that battle, because he was listed in the Garrison at Hadley, 24 Aug. 1676, and the same date his name is in a list of soldiers who assigned their wages to the town of Concord, which was often done as a matter of convenience to the families of soldiers. Yet the name, John Hadlock, Roxbury, appears in the list of soldiers slain at Turners Falls, May 1676, in the Falls Fight. The only male Hadlock of Roxbury, so far as we can learn, was our James, and since John was of Concord and survived the Falls Fight, it is tempting to believe that it was James who died there, which would incidentally explain why we hear no more of him after his wife's death in 1675. Unfortunately for this theory, the name of James appears in muster rolls both before and after the date of the Falls Fight, although some references may be to James Hadlock, Jr., of Salem. It seems likely that James2 Hadlock of Roxbury was son of Nathaniel1 2 and brother of Nathaniel2 and John • James1 Hadlock of Charlestown married Damaris Fosdick, per sessions records of 6 Apr. 1652. She was widow of Thomas Fosdick, who died 21 June 1650. On 29 July 1654, James Hadlock (signed Hadluck) of * R. T. Cross in "'My Children's Ancestors" (1913), p. 92, places Deborah wife of Abraham Temple as daughter of John and Elizabeth, but that is, impossible and prnba,bly Deborah and John were both children of Nathaniel and Mary. HADLOCK FAMILY 237 vVenham in New England, for £6, sold to Samuell Adams of Charlestown, a house lot in Charlestown which had formerly belonged to Tnomas Fosdick, and Adams shortly after assigned his purchase to John Smith. On 5 July 1656, James Garrett of Charlestown sold to Samuel Beadle of Charlestown his former dwelling house bounded "northeast by widow Had locke and Steeven fosdike." In the Charlestown list of lots drawn up 1 Mar. 1657 /8 for the division of the wood and commons on Mys,tic side, Lot 119 is labeled "Hadloks house." The latter seems to refer to the house of Nathaniel Hadlock who had moved to Lancaster. If the former record relates to James, it means that he died between 1654 and 1656 and cannot be identical with James of Salem. But there are so many factors favoring the belief that the James who mar ried the widow Damaris Fosdick at Charlestown is James of Salem, that we favor that view. James had moved by 1654 to Wenham in Essex County. Nothing is seen of him there, but in l\fay 1658 James Hadlock married Rebecca Hutchinson in Salem. He was called son~in-law by Richard Hutchinson of Salem in 1679, and in his own will he named his wife Rebecca. But she cannot very well be mother of his eldest son James who, as he named a daughter Damaris, v1:as probably son of James by his former wife, the widow Damaris Fosdick. It was undoubtedly James, Jr., who married at Salem, 3 Dec. 1679, Abigail Martin of Amesbury, and according to Perley had a large family of children. James1 had also a daughter, Hannah, born at Salem in July 1657, ten months (if the record is correc,t) before his mar riage to Rebecca. By Rebecca •he had: Sarah, born at Salem, Sept. 1659, married William Simons; Mary, born at Salem, 2 Mar. 1661/2, married at Amesbury, 30 Dec. 1689, John Wathen; Rebecca, born [say 1664, certainly after 1660, since she was under 18 in 1678] ; and John, born [ say 1667], married at Salem, 16 Jan. 1694, Sarah Pasque. The will of Richard Hutchinson of Salem, dated 19 Jan. 1679, proved 26 Sept. 1682, named his wife (property she brought at marriage) ; son-in law Anthony Ashby and my daughter Abigail his wife; son-in-law Daniel Bordman and my daughter Hannah his wife; grandchildren Bethiah Hutchin son and Sarah Hadlock; servant Black Peter; sons-in-law N athaniell Putnam, Thomas Hale, and James Hadlock ( 40 shillings apiece) ; artd son Joseph ( to be sole executor and to have residue). James1 Hadlock died at Salem, 3 Dec. 1687. His will, dated 14 Nov. 1678, was probated at Boston during the Andros regime. "In the name of God Amen . . . . . I James Hadlock Senior of Salem . . . . . being sick in Body ..... unto my son James Hadlock the Land he formerly improved . about four acres as also my Gray Mare and my Muskit and Sword . . . . . to my Daughter Mary an acres of Land . . . . . also ffive pounds . . . . . to my Daughter Hannah ffiv pounds . . . . . to my Daughter Sarah ffive pounds ..... to my Daughter Rebecca ffive pounds ..... to Rebecca my wif my housing· and Land ..... not disposed off together with my 238 THE GRANBERRY FAMILY AND ALLIED FAMILIES Goods . not already bequeathed to enjoy and possess until my Son John ccmes of Age ..... my Daughter Rebecca ..... when .

[ Suffolk County Probate, 10-322 to 324; File 1644.] The above notes of the early Hadlocks have been set forth as a contribution to the history of the family. On the basis of this ,incomplete information, we may theorize as follows. Nathaniel1 and James1 Hadlock of Charlestown may have been brothers. James married first, Damaris (---) Fosdick, removed to Salem, and married second, Rebecca Hutchinson. He had a son by each wife, James and John, both of Salem. Nathaniel1 probably had three sons: Nathaniel, John, and James, of whom James married Sarah Draper. It may be suggested that the acquaintance of James Hadlock with Sarah Draper came about, if James was son of Nathaniel, through the maniage of Nathaniel's widow to Roger Draper. No relationship between Roger Draper and James Draper, the father of Sarah, is known, but they may have been cousins.

Some r,esearch in Bristol County ,vas made by Mr. Francis Richmond Sears, of Swan~ea, :Mass. HASKINS FAMILY 241 after securing a legal separation from his former wife, he had three children. One of them was Anne Winthrop, who married Henry Hoskins, Gent., and became the mother of \Villiam Hoskins. On 13 Jan. [1637/8] Mrs. Anne Hoskins wrote to her cousin, John Winthrop, Jr. He endorsed her letter, "Cos: An: Hoskins from Ireland." In it she states that her husband had been dead three years, "and there is none of us alive but I and my dafter." She requests, "if my son be living let him riht me a letter and send word how hee is as sune as he can," and hopes "you have don the part of a kinsman for him as you promised mee." She concludes, "my dafter and i both remember our serves to you and her love to her brother willum Hoskins." [Winthrop Papers, 4-7, 8.] William Hoskins was admitted a freeman of Plymouth Colony, 1 Jan. 1634/5; his name was added to the Nov. 1633 list, and appears (as William Hodg·skine) on the list of 7 Mar. 1636/7. His name appears as Hodgskins several times, and in records of 1637 and 1638 as Hodgkinson and Hodgskinson. He lost his first wife about a year after marriage. By her there was an only child, Sarah, whose birth on 16 Sept. 1637 is proved by the following record. On 18 Jan. 1643/4, William Hoskine of Plymouth "put Sarah, his daughter, to Thomas Whitney and Winefride, his wife" until she is twenty years old, they to be to her as father and mother, "she being 6 years old the 16 of Sept. last past." This first wife had a name famous in Plymouth history, and probably was a daughter of the noted Robert Cushman who was Agent of the Pilgr,ims in London. On 2 Oct. 1637, he had a grant of 7 acres upon the north side of Winslow's Walk, towards the Cedar Swamp, and on 4 June 1639 he had land formerly appointed to Tristram Clarke, described as 4 acres in length by 2 acres in breadth. The last of Dec. 1639, William Hoskins of Plymouth, planter, conveyed to George Clarke the 8 acres lying by land granted to James Skiffe, "nere Playne Dealeing." On 31 Dec. 1641, he had another grant of land, 6 or 8 acres of upland. Samuel Cuthbert, on 1 Oct. 1657, sold to William Hoskine a lot of land on Clarke's Island, and W,illiam Hoskin of Plymouth, 29 Mar. 1669, sold land to George Vaughan, sometime inhabitant of Marshfield. William Hoskins was almost a professional juryman. On 2 Mar.' 1635/6, he served on the jury to inquire into the death of John Deacon. He was on the Grand Inquest, 4 June 1639, 6 June 1643, 6 June 1654, 5 June 1672, and 6 June 1682. He served on trial juries, 1 Sept. 1640, 1 June, 3 Aug., 6 Sept., and 7 Dec. 1641, 5 Nov. 1644, 7 July 1646, 4 Oct. and 6 Dec. 1653, 7 Mar. 1653/4, 5 Mar. 1655/6, 3 Oct. 1659, 1 Oct. 1661, 3 Oct. 1665, 5 July 1666, 29 Oct. 1667, 7 July 1668, 1 Mar. 1669/70, 29 Oct. 1671, 27 Oct. 1674, 2 Mar. 1679/80, 6 July 1680, and 7 July 1681. On 1 Mar. 1658/9, he was allowed 4 shillings for attending Court. His second wife, Ann, appears ,in several records. William Hoskine and Ann his wife sued John Dunford for slander, 4 June 1639, and were awarded 242 THE GRANBERRY FAMILY AND ALLIED FAMILIES 20 shillings. On 2 Mar. 1641, Ann Hinde wife of William Hoskins, aged , 25, made a deposition ( ordered recorded 7 June 1665). She stated that in England she lived in Mr. Darby's house at the same time with John Chipman, who came over to serve Mr. Richard Darby, and that she afterwards came over to serve Richard Darby. The Derby family lived in Sterthill in the parish of Burton-Bradstock, co. Devon, which points to the place of origin of Ann Hinde [ see New England Hist. and Gen. Register, 79-443 J. William Hoskines was granted 2 acres at Lakcnham, 13 June 1660. This was a village west of Plymouth, and it is likely that "William settled there, for Rebecca Hoskins was called of Lakenham when she married a Taunton man two years later. On 3 June 1662, William Hoskins, with several others, had a grant of land in Taunton on behalf of their children, "being the first borne children of this goument," as the record expresses it. Most of the family settled in Taunton in later years. His wife Ann had a feud with Hester wife of John Rickard. On 1 Mar. 1663/4, Ann, the wife of William Hoskins was fined 20 shillings "for speak ing most laciuiouse and filthy language" to Hester, but Hester held up her end of the controversy, and was fined the same amount. This did not end the feud, for on 2 Dec. 1665 Ann was sued for saying that Hester was "as drunke as a bitch" and had been drinking with a man in a tavern. Ann acknowledged her fault and withdrew her charges, and was dismissed without a fine. William Hoskins, on 2 Dec. 1665, sued Robert Ransom for calling him rogue and assaulting him. William Hoskins was appointed to administer the estate of Nicholas Hodges alias Miller, 6 Feb. 1665/6; took the inventory of John Tilson, Oct. 1673; and on 5 Mar. 1683/4, was appointed to administer the estate of Peter Riffe. On 2 Mar. 1679/80, the Court ordered £4 unto William Hoskins to be paid to him by the Treasurer in regard of his low condition, "haueing lost all hee had in the late warr and being growne old and unable to labour." According to the History of Middleboro he served in King Philip's War, but the evidence will be given below that this service belonged to his son William. He acquired an interest in Middleboro, participating in the Twenty six Men's Purchase, 7 Mar. 1661/2, also in the Purcha~e Purchase, 9 July 1662, but before 1677 his interest there had been acquired by George Vaughan, Sr. Perhaps after his war losses at Taunton, he returned to Mid dleboro for a time, for he was unanimously chosen Town Clerk, 24 May 1681, but the suggestion of the History that he served in that capacity from 1669 to 1693 seems to us unlikely. He may have been there, however, .between 1680 and 1692. The will of Nicholas Hodges alias Miller, dated 24 Oct. 1665, g·ave his house and land to Peter Reife; his gun, some tools and a neckcloth to John Hoskins; his chest to \Villiam Hoskins, Jr. ; and his kettle to Mary Cobb; William Hoskins [Sr.] was a witness, and no doubt \Villiam, Jr., John and Mary were three of his children. HASKINS FAMILY 243 John Hoskins was warned from the town of Plymouth, 28 Oct. 1684, such warnings being a technicality, to relieve the town of any future claim for support if a new-comer should become indigent. Since John is found at Taunton along with other children of William, it is believed that the entire family was then legally resident at Taunton, for the town could not warn out one of its own accepted citizens. John's will proves that Richard was his brother. William and Samuel Hoskins were members of the Taunton trainband in 1682; and in 1700 the Military Company of the South Purchase in Taunton [Dighton] included William Hoskins, Sr., William Hoskins, Jr., Samuel Hoskins, Sr., Samuel Hoskins, Jr., John Hoskins, and Richard Hoskins. William Hoskins, Sr., had returned by 1692 to Plymouth, where two of his daughters, Sarah and Elizabeth, were living. There he lived in the village of Lakenham as a sort of lay preacher. In the Plymouth Church records we read under date of 24 Aug. 1692 that "some of our church & church-children had last spring desired William Hoskins to come & live with them at Lakingham for carrying on the Sabbath in teaching them, which they desired & he accepted without asking any consent or counsel! of the Elder or church therein, & thereby they generally in that village neglected coming to the publick worship," and the church voted that the Pastor should warn the Brethren concerned. On 16 Nov. 1692, "After the Lecture, the Pastor stayed the church, & called the bretheren mentioned of lakingham, who had called Will: Hoskins etc & declared the offences [ mentioned previously], W: Hoskins & the other said they were sorry for their giving any offence to the church: The Issue was, the church did declare that their meeting in short days & unseasonable weather, they [fa] ulted not, but their constant meeting there in comfortable seasons for travell they disaprooved as irregular."

If correct, he had a fourth wife, Mary, and the children by his second wife were not named. Tingley gives him three children by Rebecca Brooks~Rebecca, Mary and Hannah.

RICHARD2 HASKINS, born probably at Plymouth [say 1660], died at Nor wich, Conn., 26 Dec. 1717; married first, at Taunton, Mass., 2 Aug. 1686, Jane Feuster or Fluster; married second, MARY3 TISDALE, born about 1672, died after 1718, daughter of J ames2 and Mary (Avery) Tisdale. Richard was called of Portsmouth at the time of his marriage to Jane, described as of Taunton. It is not proved that this was the same man who later married Mary Tisdale, but there is every reason to suppose that he was the same. It has been suggested that Jane's husband was of Portsmouth, N. H., because there was a Haskins family near there at Great Island. However, the editors of Genealogical Dictionary of Maine and New Hamp shire (pp. 316-317) repudiate this suggestion; no Richard is found in that 246 THE GRANBERRY FAMILY AND ALLIED FAMILIES family or region; and if from there, the Taunton record would more likely have described him as of Piscataqua than as of Portsmouth. On the other hand, members of the William Hoskins family of Plymouth were already living at Taunton, and Richard may have gone in youth to Portsmouth, R. I., no great distance to the south of Taunton. Richard lived in the South Purchas,e of Taunton, which was set off in 1712 as the town of Dighton. He was one of the signers, 11 Oct. 1708, of the petition for the erection of a township in the South Purchase. He is proved brother of John Hoskins or Haskins of Taunton and Dighton, and was executor of his will. The name was spelled in both forms at this period both in Bristol County, Mass., and in Norwich, Conn., but Haskins became the standard form in both places, and is used as the preferred form in the printed Taunton Vital Records. Whether Richard had any surviving issue by Jane is not known. She could have been mother of John and Mercy, evidently the oldest children, but from Mary on they must belong to Mary Tisdale, since Mary was named in her grandfather Tisdale's will, and it is physically possible that all the children were by Mary Tisdale.* Richard Hoskins was one of those who contributed money for the Canada Expedition in 1690. He bought 170¼ acres from Samuel and Hannah Waldron, 9 May 1692, and on 19 Feb. 1694/5 bought several pieces of land from Mary Street which had belonged originally to her father, Francis Street. On 2 Sept. 1695, he bought from Joseph Tisdale, whose wife Mary consented. This was an uncle of Richard's wife. On 2 Dec. 16%, Richard Haskins of Taunton, for £3 14s. in silver money of New England, sold to Philip King of Taunton, half a purchase right, including future divisions of land. Two acres were laid out to Richard Haskins, 11 Mar. 1696/7, adjoin ing the westerly side of a brook called Browne's Brook, flanking his own former land. On 29 Aug. 1705, Joseph Tisdale of Taunton, for a horse valued at £8, sold to Richard Haskins of Taunton, two or three acres bounded by Haskins' land, mentioning Browne's Brook. Benedict Arnold of Newport, R. I., on 29 Nov. 1705, for £300, conveyed to Richard Haskins of Taunton, weaver, certain divisions in the Township of Taunton on the west side of Taunton River. On 20 Jan. 1708/9, Richard Haskins of Taunton, £of i11, sold to Gilbert Winslow of Swansea, 1¼ acres in Swansea, a small piece of salt meadow. Samuel Waldron of Dighton, on 22 Feb. 1713/14, in an exchange of land, conveyed to Richard Haskins of Dighton lots 64 and 65 in the upper division, known as Taunton South Purchase but now within the limits of the town of Dighton, each lot supposed to contain between 60 and 70 acres. On 16 Mar. 1714/15, at a meeting of the Proprietors of the South Pur chase, "Richard Hoskins was chosen Clarke for ye South Pul."chase in Dighton * It is quite possible, through a strange coincidence, that the Richard "of Portsmouth" who married Jane was a different person entirely who strayed· into· Taunton and married there without being con nected with the Taunton Haskins family. In that case, Mary Tisdale was certainly mother of all of our Richard's children. HASKINS FAMILY 247 and was sworne to the faithful Discharge of ye office of Clarke," attested by Jared Talbot, Justice. 0_.n 1 Mar. 1716/17, Richard Haskins of Dighton, for .£900, sold to Mr. Daniel'King of Scituate, "my Dwelling house, shop, and barne" and his home land in }xghton, his wife Mary releasing her right of dower. He rendered his final accounting as eixecutor of his brother John's estate, 2 Apr. 1717, and made his first purchase ai Norwich, Conn., just a week later. On 9 Apr. 1717, Thomas Stodder of }:Jorwich, with the consent of his wife Deborah, for .£604, sold to Richard H,¼kins of the Town of "Deiton," County of Bristoll, Massachusetts Bay, 199 ~res in eight parcels adjoining together "upon ye middle hill . . . . with ye 'two Dwelling houses and ye Barn." The inventory of the estate of Richard Haski);ls of Norwich "who dyed December ye 26: 1717" was taken 21 Jan. 1717/18"by Obadiah Smith, Joseph Kingsbury, and Jonathan Metcalf; and was swor~\in Court by his widow, Mrs Mary Haskins, 11 Feb. 1717 /18. The house ahd land were valued at .£604; other items, including a bill and bond from Dahiel_King and a bond from James Tisdale, totaled over .£446. Administration was granted the same date to Mary and John Haskins of Norwich. The order of distribution, 14 July 1719, permitted the eldest son to retain the real estate, by giving security to the other heirs. The widow was to have her third; the eldest son, a double portion amounting to :£185.13.5; the eldest daughter, Mercy, 50s. with what she had in her father's lifetime; and each of the other seven children, .£92.16.8,½. There is a receipt in the file from Joseph Kingsbury to John Haskins "upon y• account of what was du to me from his father," and on 1 Apr. 1718, Daniel Haskins receipted to John Haskins for "six shilins in many due to me from my fathers Estate." An administration account includes two "Journeys to Dighton 24 days to get in ye Debts at 4s P day." [ Probate Rec. New London, B-249; J2-24, 53 ; File 2522.] On 20 Mar. 1727, John Hoskins of Norwich conveyed to his brother, Daniel Hoskins, 48 acres on Middle Hill, for what is due towards his portion and also for what is due to him for sister Rebecca Hoskins' portion, as Daniel is guardian to said Rebecca. The albove records, and the grandfather Tisdale's will, prove that the following children belong to Richard: John, Mercy, Mary,' Daniel, and Rebecca. Sarah, Elizabeth, and Hannah were married in Norwich and cannot be placed in a later gerieration. This accounts for eight of the nine children who are known to have survived; the evidence for Martha is not so good, but in addition to the reasons stated in The Waterman Family (1-102 to 106) for believing her to be a Haskins, Mary Tisdale had a sister of that name.

The origin of Adam Hawkes has not been learned.* He became an inhabitant of Charlestown, Mass., in 1634, and his wife Ann was admitted to the church there, 21 Nov. 1634. He soon moved to Lynn, and was mentioned as "Mr. Hawks" in Essex County Court records as early as Sept. 1638. He served on trial juries, 27 Nov. 1655 and 28 June 1659, and on the Grand Jury, 27 Nov. 1660 and 25 June 1661. Adam Hawkes stated his age as about 50 when testifying about the owner ship of a colt, 30 Mar. 1658; others who testified in the case were his son John; Thomas Hutchinson, who called Hawks his father-in-law; Elizabeth Hart, aged about 35, and her husband Isaac Hart, aged about 40; Samuel Hutchinson, aged about 40; and Francis Hutchinson. Isaac Hart referred to John Hawks as his brother. The Hutchinsons, Francis, Samuel, Thomas, Edward, and Elizabeth, were apparently step-children of Adam Hawks. His second marriage was made when he was well advanced in middle life and had adult children, and by it he had a daughter Sarah, born 2 June 1671. The inventory of the estate of Mr. Adam Hawks was taken 18 Mar. 1671/2; it included the dwelling house and barn, £120, and 550 acres, £550. Agreement was made, 27 Mar. 1672, by the administrator, John Hauks of Lynn, to make 1payments to his mother, Mrs. Sarah Hauks, and to Sarah Hanks, daughter of the said widow, at 18; to his own son, Moses Hanks (at 21) which he had by Rebecca daughter to Mr. Moses Mavericke; to Mr. William Cogswell for the use of his wife, £90; to ffrances [Francis] Huchis son, £20; to Samuell Huchisson, £5; to Thomas Huchisson, £5; to Edward .Huchisson, £5; to Elizabeth Hart, £5; and John will retain the residue. The agreement was signed by Moses Mavericke, John Hawkes, Sarah Hauks, William Cogswell, and ffrancis Hutchinson. References T. B. Wyman: Charlestown Genealogies and Estates, p. 482.

He was Overseer of Rowley, 1650, 1651, 1654, 1660, 1661, 1665, and 1668. Administration on his estate was granted, 25 Sept. 1683, to his widow Hannah and son Edward. Hannah "Hassan" was one of the witnesses in 1668 to the will of Rev. Samuel Shepard, pastor of the church in Rowley. "Ed. Hassen" was on a trial jury at Ipswich, 30 Sept. 1651, and again 30 Sept. 1656; on 27 Sept. 1664, he served on the Grand Jury. He had his license renewed, 29 Mar. 1670, but his original license to keep an inn and draw liquors has not been noted. His license was again renewed from 1671 to 1674 inclusive, also in 1680 and 1681. He complained in 1679 with several other Rowley men against Rev. Samuel Phillips for reflecting upon and reproaching the civil authorities; he there upon denied their charges from the pulpit, and they complained that he thus publicly accused them of perjury. The Court clearly fo1.llf1d the minister at fault, and he was admonished and had to pay the costs of court. References New England Hist. and Gen. Reg,ister, 33-229. H. A.

In his youth he served in King Philip's War, 1676, as a soldier under Capt. Samuel Appleton; and is identified as living, of Norwich, in 1733 when he was one of the grantees of N arraganset No. 4 ( Greenwich, Mass.), granted to veterans or their heirs. [ G. M.

Mass., in 1629, and also enters him in his synthetic list of passengers on the ship Lyon in 1630. He was made a freeman, 5 Nov. 1633. John Holgrave represented Salem as Deputy to the General Court of Mas sachusetts Bay, May 1634, and Mar. and May 1635. He was appointed overseer of the ammunition for Salem, 3 Sept. 1634. [ Shurtleff's Records of Massachusetts Bay, 1-117, 125, 135, 145.] Qualifying ancestor, Society of Colonial Wars. He was one of nine commissioners appointed, 4 Mar. 1634/5, to board friendly ships and buy commodities and sell them at 5% profit. He was empowered, 3 June 1635, to impress men to help unload the salt at Marble head. He was to "set out the bounds of Boston & Saugus aboute Rumney Marshe," 8 July 1635, and served on the Grand Jury, 19 Sept. 1637. [ib., 1-142, 148, 149, 203.] Salem records, under date of 18 Apr. 1636, state: "Granted vnto mr John Holgrave fisherman three quarters of an acre of land vpon Winter Island for flakes &c. And halfe an acre wthout Winter Island for his howse Iott. Item vnto his sonne Joshua Holgrave is granted an howse Iott ....." He was one of the Townsmen chosen in 1637, and part of the Salem records of that year are in his handwriting. On 8 Nov. 1637, "Margret bright is alowed next to Jn°. Holgraue 3 or 4 acres la:nde," and in the margin is written "mr Holgraues sister." Several years he was chosen to keep the ordinary in Salem. His social position and the holding of public office entitled him to the prefix of "Mr.," which was often applied to him in the records. He was a merchant, and certain of his transactions are mentioned in Aspinwall's notarial records. On 14 Nov. 1648, John Robinson made a bill for payment of 360 pounds of sugar to ·William Park or his assigns at Barbados, "in case the said 360 weight be not formerly pd to John HolgTaue." Parke was his son-in-law, 254 THE GRANBERRY FAMILY AND ALLIED FAMILIES as we learn from Rev. John Eliot's Roxbury church records, in which he states that \Villiam Parke "married Martha Holg-rave, the daughter of [blank:] Holgrave of Sale." Another transaction, dated 18 July 1650, shows that "John Holgrave of Salem Constituted John Parris of Charlestowne his true & lawful Att'..... to aske &c of Peter Mudd or any other that have received the value of two thousand weight of Tobacco (being a debt due fro Capt Nicholas Phillips Comander of the Mercht ffrigot of London to the sd Appearer)." On 4 Dec. 1638, he was tried at Boston for drawing wine against an order of the General Court, and forfeited :£10; and for causing his daughter to deliver a paper to a juryman out of Court, he was fined ten shillings. In Essex County he served on the Petit Jury, 25 Mar. 1639 and 20 Aug. 1653; and on the Grand Jury, 28 Nov. 1654 and 26 June 1655. His life at Salem was not entirely happy. In Jan. 1639/40, "Mr. Jno. Holgrave" was presented by the Grand Jury; one Dill, who got drunk, came to Mr. Hol grave's for two or three quarts of wine, and Mrs. Holgrave said that she gave liberty for one quart, and he went to Lydia and said they gave leave for three quarts. Nothing was proved, and he was acquitted at the next court. On 29 Dec. 1640, the Worshipful John Humphreys sued John Holgrave concerning the owner-ship of salt. Marmaduke Barton, Lydia "Gouge," and Mrs. Holg·rave were examined about it, and Holgrave was acquitted. But on 28 Feb. 1642/3, he was admonished for perjury and for affirming untruths before the Church in Salem. Prior to Dec. 1647, he sold a house and land to John Pride of Salem. The I ,ydia mentioned in some of the above records was his daughter, and wife of Mr. Robert Gutch, who had received a grant of land in Salem, 1 Jan. 1637 /8, "by his father Holgraue nere Winter Harbor." In Dec. 1647, Robert Gutch was sued for debt, and arbitrators were appointed at the request of Mr. Holgrave. After 1650 the family removed from Salem to Gloucester, Mass., and trouble with the minister ensued. Mr. John Holgrave brought a suit against Mr. William Perkins, 29 June 1652, for defamation; first, for "charging him with ..... disturbing the church of Gloster, whereby the church had been in danger of being rent in pieces by his cunning insinuations," and second, "for saying that he was a plague to the town and now the plague was going away." The Court decided that for the first charge, the plaintiff had no legal grounds for his action; and he later withdrew the second charge. Mrs. Holgrave was also involved in the Perkins imbroglio. She was charged with making unbecoming speeches against Mr. William Perkins, Teacher of the Church, such as saying that he "was Fitter to be a ladyes chamberman, then to be in the pulpitt." She was fined in Dec. 1652, and sentenced to confess at Gloucester publicly. Perhaps the humiliation was more than she could endure, for on 30 June 1653 "John Holgrave's wife" was fined for being drunk twice. HOWLAND FAMILY 255 The family may have planned to remove to Maine by 1654, for on 28 Mar. 1654 Mr. Holgrave sued \Villiam Sargent for refusing to carry out a bargain of lands bought of the plaintiff. He had probably removed two years later, for on 25 Nov. 1656 he brought suit through an attorney against Thomas Davis and Robert Swan for not paying corn at Boston. Probably he went to Maine with his son-in-law Robert Gutch, who was preacher to the Kennebec fishermen and established his home on a large tract of land on Kennebec River opposite Tuessic, now Bath. Administration on John Holgrave's estate was granted in Casco Court, 26 July 1666, to Mr. Robert Gutch. It is a pity that we have been unable to make certain of even the Christian name of his colorful wife, which is given as Elizabeth by Savage and Danks. Besides the daughters Lydia ( Mrs. Gutch) and Martha (below), there was the son Joshua who was adult in 1636. The Salem list of 1637 shows Mr. Holgrave with a family of five persons, who can be identified as himself, wife, two daughters and one other; Joshua was separately listed.

He deposed HOWLETT FAMILY 257 25 Nov. 1658, aged 52, and in 1666, aged about 60. "Ensign" HCYWlett served on petit juries, 29 Sept. 1657 and 28 Mar. 1665, and on grand juries, 27 Sept. 1659, 25 Sept. 1666, and 26 Mar. 1667. Thomas Smith chose his father-in-law [step-father], Ens. Thomas Howlett, for guardian, March 1671. He was made a freeman of Massachusetts Bay, 4 Mar. 1633/4. Just about a year earlier he was mentioned in the colonial records as living at Agawam [Springfield]. He was a Deputy to the General Court, May 1635. In 1639 the General Court awarded him fifty shillings for a ten days' journey with Nathaniel Woodward to lay out the line up the Merrimac River. The same year he was called Sergeant and with Mr. Tuttle was to make a study of N e,vbury bounds. In 1641 he was appointed with two others to determine an addition to Rowley bounds. On 27 Mar. 1643, he signed the agreement regarding Salem and Ipswich bounds. He was confirmed Ensign at Ipswich, May 1645, with Mr. John Whitingham as Lieutenant. Again, in July 1645, the General Court confirmed these military offices. In 1650 he was one of four men appointed to lay out the bounds between Haverhill and Salisbury. He was often employed thereafter in public work of this nature, as in 1655 } when he was one of those appointed to settle a difference about Rowley and Newbury bounds, and in 1656 the Hampton and Salisbury bounds. In Aug. 1664, he was again a Deputy to the General Court, representing Topsfield. He was active as late as 1666 in laying out boundaries, and the Court seems to have felt special confidence in his ability and integrity.

THOMAS 2 HowLETT, born about 1638, died at Ipswich, Mass., 22 Dec. 1667; married by 1663, LYDIA2 PEABODY, baptized at Hampton, N. H., 30 Aug. 1640, died at Boxford, Mass., 30 Apr. 1715, daughter of (Lieut.) Francis1 and Lydia (---) Peabody. She married second, at Rowley, Mass., 8 July 1667 (probably error for 1668), (Lieut.) Thomas Perley, who died at Boxford, Mass., 24 Sept. 1709. The will of Thomas Howlett, Jr., of Ipswich, dated 21 Dec. 1667, proved 31 Mar. 1668, mentioned, without naming, two daughters, also an expected child, and made different provisions depending on whether the unborn child should be a boy -or a third girl. He appointed "my ffather Pebody and my wife executor & executres." The delay in proving the will and presenting the inventory may have been caused by the condition of the widow and the birth and death of the third child. Only the two daughters were living in 1677 when their grandfather Howlett made his will. They are identified as Mary (below) and Alice who ( called of Boxford) married at Topsfield, Mass., 2_5 Dec. 1688, Isaac Cummings. There is a difficulty in identifying the wife of Thomas Howlett. She is not called by name in the verbatim copy of his will, but in the printed records of the Quarterly Courts she is called Elizabeth. It will be noted that Howlett appointed his father Peabody and his wife to execute his will. If his wife's father had lived a:t a distance, doubtless Howlett would have chosen his own father to act with his wife. The only local Peabody who could have been her father was Lieut Francis Peabody of Topsfield. He left a long and detailed will (see under PEABODY), which mentions no daughter Elizabeth and no grandchildren who can be identified with the Howlett girls. Lieut. Francis Peabody was twice married, his first wife being Lydia, and the second, Mary (Foster) Wood, widow of Daniel Wood. There seem to be but two possible theories. One is that the record calling the widow of Thomas Howlett "Elizabeth" is correct, and in that case she would have to be a step-daughter of Lieut. Peabody and a daughter of Daniel and Mary (Foster) Wood. Daniel Wood died in 1649, leaving two children, one of whom was a son Daniel; the other, for aught we know, may have been Elizabeth. However, there are records which prove the alternate theory, that the court HOWLETT FAMILY 259 record erred in the name Elizabeth, and that Howlett's wife was really Lydia Peabody, daughter of Lieut. Francis by his first wife. This Lydia was two years younger than Thomas Howlett and suitable in age to be his wife. Lieut. Peabody's will in 1695 called this daughter Lydia Perley. She was wife of Thomas Perley, of Rowley, later of Boxford. On 8 Jan. 1677, Thomas Perley and Lydia his wife of Rowley conveyed to William Peabody of Topsfield, land in Boxford, mentioning "father Pabody" [Essex Deeds, 4 Ipswich-157]. In the marriage record, "Thomas Pearley" married "Lidiah Bouley," but we may suspect a misreading of the name.* There is every reason to suppose that she was the w,idow Lydia Howlett when she married Perley. On 4 Apr. 1687, William Howlett of Ipswich, Executor to the last will of Thomas Howlett, late of Ipswich, deceased, recites that the said Thomas Howlett had possessed his son Thomas of 100 acres many years ago and that his will is that the Posterity of his said son Thomas, deceased, shall enjoy the same, and upon receipt of 30 shilrnngs paid by Thomas Pearly Husband to Lydia Pearly relict of the late Thomas Bowlet Junr. deceased and by Thomas Hazen Husband to Mary daughter of said Thomas Bowlet Junr. and Allice Bowlet daughter to ye aforesaid Thomas Bowlet Junr., he quit claims to Lydia, Mary and Allice [Essex Deeds, 45-218]. It may be argued that the will of Thomas Howlett, Sr., quoted above, is at variance with this conclusion, since it does not call his daughter-in-law Lydia Perley, but always his son Thomas's wife. This is peculiar phrase ology, without question, yet if he could refer to his son's wife instead of widow ten years after his son died, he could just as easily omit her second married name. The fact is, he nowhere specifies her by name, even her first name, nor does he name either of his two granddaughters. We must accept this reticence as meaningless. The object of the grandfather Howlett's will is clear. He had given 100 acres to his deceased son, and that son's widow had a dower right in it. He wants to make sure that the two girls receive half of the land at eighteen years or at marriage, and the other half when their mother dies. But if both girls die in their minority, he does not want their Perley half-brothers and sisters to inherit without paying a substantial sum to his cmn children. Being Howlett land, and given by him to his son, the paternal relatives of the girls, not their relatives through their mother, should benefit if the girls die. So the elaborate arrangements he makes to cover every contingency may be taken as favoring our conclusion that "son Thomas's wife" was already married again and the mother of children who had no Howlett blood. The editor of Early Settlers of Rowley takes the view that Thomas Perlev married first, 8 July 1667, Lydia Horsley, and that he married second [it * The date 1667 is also• wrong and sho•uld probably be 1668. The children of Thomas and Lydia Perley were: Thomas, b. 2'7 Sept. 1669; Lydia, b, 2·5 July 1672, d. at Boxford, 3'l Aug. 1689; Jacob, bapt. 27 Feb, 1675; and Hephzibah, bapt. 14 Apr. 1678, d. 2 Mar. 1694. The editor of Early Settlers of Rowley reads Lydia's name in the marriage record as "Ho-rsley." It is rendered "'Hauley" in the printed Vital Records, and that is strangely close to "Howlett." 260 THE GRANBERRY FAMILY AND ALLIED FAMILIES must have been before 16771, Lydia (Peabody) Howlett. This would reconcile ali records, and it may be the correct solution, though to the present writer it seems simpler to suppose a mistake in the marriage entry and that there was only one Lydia.

Devon, then rector of North Leigh, Diocese of Exeter, 1621-1632. He resigned this care, arrd sailed from Weymouth, co. Dorset, in March 1635, with his own family and servants and some twenty other families. The company arrived 5 May, and Hull and most of the others settled at W essagus,cus, the name of which was changed later that year to Weymouth. Hull's age was stated as 40 in the ship's list; his wife Agnes was 25, and the children were Joan (15), Joseph (13), Tristram (11), Temperance (9), Elizabeth (7), Grisell (5), and Dorothy (3).

He was a carpenter, and a resident of Newbury, Mass., as early as 1640, but in 1657 moved to Haverhill, Mass. He erected and repaired dwellings and meeting houses. The town of Haverhill gave him permission to set a weir in the Merrimack River on a little island, to dry fish. In 1658, in partnership with Thomas Davis and Daniel Hendricks, he was granted the operation of the saw mill on condition of erecting a new mill, but the condi tion was not met and the option was forfeited. However, they did later undertake its operation, but the mill_ seems to have kept Hutchins in litigation with his partners and with others. 262 THE GRANBERRY FAMILY AND ALLIED FAMILIES He served on a Grand Jury, 28 Sept. 1668, and on Petit Juries, 11 Apr. 1665 and 14 Apr. 1668. He was Constable of Haverhill, 1661-2. In 1653 his wife was presented on the charge of wearing a silk hood. The law prohibited men of mean condition from wearing "the garbe of a gentleman," and silk was reserved for women of superior economic status (£200 or more). It was testified that the wife of John Hutchins had been "brought up above the ordinary rank," so the case against her was dismissed. She was empowered to act as her husband's attorney in 1665, "by reason of his being dumbe." In an affidavit in 1669 he gave his age as 65. Being thus over sixty when struck dumb, it may be that he had suffered an apoplectic stroke. Nevertheless, he remained fairly active and survived some twenty years. References L. E. and A.

WILLIAM 1 KNOWLTON, born in England, , died at Ipswich, Mass., (before 17 July) 1655; married ELIZABETH---.* The Ipswich family was founded by three brothers, John, Thomas and William. John Knowlton was made a freeman of Massachusetts, 2 June 1641. The will of John Knowiton of Ipswich, dated 29 Nov. 1653, named wife Margery, eldest son John, son Abraham, and daughter Eiizabeth; "some of my wearing clothes to my brother william"; mr Tredwell, my brother Wilson & my [brother?] Thomas Knowlton, overseers. Theophilus Wilson and Thomas Knowlton made oath, 28 Mar. 1654. John Knowlton married Margery Wilson; she made her will 20 Feb. 1653/4, shortly after his death, and it was proved 28 Mar. 1654. "Will. Knoulton" was a witness in court, Mar. 1647, and in Sept. 1647 Thomas Knolton witnessed the will of Matthew Whipple. John and Tho. Knolton served on 1:he Grand Jury, Sept. 1648, and Thomas served again, 30 Sept. 1651. On 27 Mar. 1649, Thomas Knolton was sworn Constable for Ipswich, and John Knolton was sworn Constable in Mar. 1651. Administration on the estate of William Knowlton was granted, 25 Sept. 1655, to his brother, Thomas Knowlton. The inventory was taken, 17 July 1655, by Theophilus Willson and Thomas Knowlton.. On 14 Jan. 1655/6, Thomas Knowlton of Ipswich, shoemaker, and Elizabeth Knowlton, widow of William, releasing her dower, conveyed land that had belonged to William. Deacon Thomas Knolton rendered his account, 24 Sept. 1678; he had main tained "two boyes" from 1:he age of 5 to 8, and "a Girle" from 1¼ year old until she married. And on 31 Mar. 1691, Thomas Knowlton, Sr., of Ipswich, showed that he was appointed administrator of the estate of his brother, William Knowlton, who died in 1655, leaving a widow and seven children, the youngest 1¼ year old; he had spent more in raising the children than had been realized from his brother's estate, and he had sold the real estate. Some of the heirs were dissatisfied and felt that they should receive some thing from their father's estate. On 10 Nov. 1715, Mary Mitchell formerly Mary Knowlton, daughter to 'William Knowlton of Ipswich, deceased, desired that "my Cosen [nephew] John Knowlton of Ipswich, late of Manchester," may have administration of any estate that may be thought to be my father's; dated "Windclum," 10 Nov. 1715. She was Mary (Knowlton) (Abbe) Mitchell. Similar requests were made by Thomas Knowlton of Norwich, Conn., and William Knowlton of Windham, Conn., and administration was * AccoTding to- the Tingley book, cited below, \Villiam Knowlton married first, 10 Jan. 1640/1, Elizabeth, daughter of John and Elizabeth Balch of Salem, born 1620, died 16'53, and second, 1654, Anne --. The second marriage is certainly '"'rong, as Elizabeth survived him. On page 32, Elizabeth Balch is said to have been born 1624/5, daughter of John and Margaret (Lovet?) Balch. The will of J olm Balch named wife Annis and three sons, but no daughters, and no evidence for the Tingley statement has been seen. 268 THE GRANBERRY FAMILY AND ALLIED FAMILIES granted, 2 Jan. 1715/16, to William's grandson, Capt. John Knowlton of Ipswich, but apparently no assets were discovered. There was considerable litigation about the land of William Knowlton which had been sold. In 1662, Robert Lord, aged 59, testified that Thomas Knowlton had bought six acres in the marshes beyond Chebacco in behalf of his brother William. Thomas Knowlton testified concerning the land he had bought from the Town in behalf of his brother William. On 26 June 1663, Thomas and William Knowlton testified that "their father told them and showed them. that upon the west or northwest of his Island, he owned . . . . . all the meadow to . . . . . Harredines creek." Deacon Thomas Knowlton conveyed land to "cousin [nephew] Thomas Knowlton J unr my Brother William's Eldest Son," and in another deed he named his brother William's children as William, John, Samuel, Joseph, Benjamin, and Mary. [Essex County Deeds, 8-124; 11-36.] This accounts for the seven known children of William. References N. B. Shurtleff: Records of Massachusetts Bay, 1-379.

The parentage suggested for Thomas Leffingwell in "The Leffingwell Rec ord" is likely. It makes him nephew of Michael Leffingwell of Woburn, Mass., baptized 19 Feb. 1602/3. LEFFINGWELL FAMILY 269 Possibly his wife was a Reynolds or a Backus. The will of John Reynolds of Norwich in 1702 made "my Loving Kindsman Ensigne Thomas Leffing· well" his overseer. This was Thomas, Jr. The wife of John Reynolds was a daughter of William1 Backus. In 1645 the Narragansett Indians ravaged the Mohegan territory, and drove Uncas into his stronghold on the west bank of the Thames, which they besieged. A messenger from the fort got through and informed the English at Saybrook. Leffingwell loaded a canoe with supplies and paddled it by night to the Indian fort, which broke the siege.

He came to New England perhaps in 1635, and was made a freeman of Massachusetts Bay, 3 Mar. 1635/6. His place of origin is indicated by a power of attorney dated 16 Apr. 1642 from Richard Cranniwell of Wood bridge, co.

In 1638 he purchased the estate at the northeast corner of Dunster and Mount Auburn streets. He was a "cordwinder" or shoemaker. He was Selectman of Cambridge, 1639 to 1647, and was one of the first deacons of Shepard's church there, which was organized in 1636. He was appointed with four others, 18 Feb. 1649/50, to superintend repairs on the meeting house.

JoHN1 MARSH, born , died at Salem, Mass., in the autumn of 1674; married first, by 1636, a wife who died between 164,1 and 1645; married second, SusANNA2 SKELTON, baptized at Tattershall, England, 3 Apr. 1625, died at Salem, Mass., daughter of Rev. Samuel1 and Susanna (Travis) Skelton. She married second, Thomas Rix. He came probably on the Mary and John, 1634, and was a cordwainer of Salem, Mass. His will, dated 28 Mar. 1674, proved 26 Nov. 1674, named his wife Susanna, five sons, and daughter Bethiah. Perley's History of Salem correctly states under the Skelton family that Susanna Skelton was ;baptized 3 Apr. 1625, and !being a minister's daughter, she was undoubtedly baptized in early infancy. Then, under the Marsh family, John Marsh is said to have married Susanna Skelton a,bout 1635, and the first Marsh child was baptized 30 Apr. 1637. In "The Ancestry of Katherine Choate Paul," Mr. Paul calls attention to Susanna's early age, _and MARSH FAMILY 275 does not accept Susanna Skelton as mother of the Marsh children. It is inconceivable that she married at ten or eleven, and had a child when barely twelve. The marriage of Susanna Skelton to John Matish was accepted years ago, before the date of her baptism in England was known, on the basis of con veyances given by the Skelton heirs, and the compiler of the Marsh Genealoigy made the mistake of assuming and asserting that Susanna was John's one and only wife. In 1649 Samuel Skelton, son of the Rev. Samuel, entered a caveat against John Porter. In 1652 John Porter purchased from Robert Sanford and Elizabeth his wife of Boston, and on 18 May 1655 purchased from John Marsh and Susanna his wife, and Nathaniel Felton and Mary his wife, all of Salem. Thereupon, in 1663, the younger Samuel Skelton gave Porter a confirmation deed, "the said John Porter having purchased the right and interest of the three daughters of the said Samuel Skelton, Senr., in y0 said farm." The land descriptions in these deeds make it reasonably certain that they relate to the Skelton farm. [Essex County Deeds, 1-8; 2-25, 33, 71.] This evidence is convincing as to the identity of Susanna, but does not prove how much earlier than 1655 she was Marsh's wife. His children, it is to •be noted, fall into two date groups. The first consists of Zachariah 1637, John 1639, and Ruth 1641. The second consists of Elizabeth 1646, Ezekiel 1648, Bethriah 1650, Samuel 1652, Susanna 1654, Mary 1656, Jacob 1658, and Benjamin ca. 1661. There is a break of five years between 1641 and 1646. In 1646 Susanna Skelton was twenty-one years old. She could easily be mother of the second group. The sons in the first group, Zachariah and John, had respectively three and two daughters, not one of the five named Susanna. The second group of children begins with Eliza.beth, and includes Samuel, Susanna and Mary, all of whom had Skelton names. The will of John Marsh in 1674 gave his homestead to his wife Susanna, with liberty to dispose of it to- which of "my" children she shall think fit. On 3 Nov. 1685 she, as widow of Thomas Rix and formerly widow of John Marsh, conveyed it to "my son" Samuel Marsh and his wi:f.e, for his cart:; and maintenance of her, to take effect at her death, and he was obligated to pay to her son Jacob a barrel of cider annually for six years. Her passing over of Ezekiel, apparently her eldest son, is easily eXJplained. He received but £5 under his father's will in 1674, and presumably removed or died, for we hear no more cif him in Salem records. Not only was Susanna mother of Samuel, born 1652, pwved by the 1685 deed, but the County records enter Elizabeth in 1646 as daughter of "John and Susan." In view of all this, the logical conclusion is that John Marsh had a first wife, mother of the three older children, the last of whom was born 1641, and that he married Susanna Skelton about 1645, when she was twenty years old.

JEREMIAH 1 MEACHAM, born in England about 1613 (aged 81 in 1694 as stated hy himself in his will), died at Salem, Mass., in 1695; married first, MARGARET ---, who died after 1679; married second, after 1684, Alice (Dutch) (Newman) Dane, who died at Beverly, Mass., in 1704, widow of John Newman and of John Dane. Jteremiah Meacham was a weaver, and as early as 1651 owned land in Southold, Long Island. In 1654 the town of East Hampton invited "Good man" Meacham of Southold to settle there for the town weaving, and in 1655 he was a land owner there. He was Constable in 1661. In 1666 his son Jeremiah, Jr., was mentioned, hut he removed to Salem, Mass., a year or two later. Calling himself "sometime inhabitant of Easthampton," he sold his land there on 13 Apr. 1668 to Rev. Thomas James, and on 10 June 1668, calling himself "inhabitant of Salem" he gave a receipt to Mr. James. In all signatures he made his mark. Oddly enough, his removal to Salem seems to have been the result of his having been appointed administrator of the estate of another Thomas James, who had left a farm there for the use of his non-resident children. Meacham had charge of this estate until 1674, when Alexander Lillington, husband of the only surviving child, Sarah James, came from Albemarle County, Caro lina, to take possession. The will of Jeremiah Meacham of Salem, dated 12 Apr. 1694, proved 18 Nov. 1695, referred to his deceased wife Margaret and "now wife Alice," his son Isa~c, and other children.

She had married first, at Tops field, Mass., 28 Nov. 1666, John Perkins, who died 19 May 1668. He lived first in Salem, but by 1681 was living in the new settlement at Enfield, Conn., then in Mass. He was active in public affairs, and in the Enfield records was referred to sometimes as "goodman" and as "Sr.," but more often by his military titles. He was called Sergeant as early as Mar. 1685/6, Lieutenant as early as Mar. 1686/7, and Captain as early as 1698. He was Moderator of town meetings in 1701, 1702, 1708, 1709, 1711, 1713, and 1714, and Selectman in 1690, 1692, 1701, 1702, 1704, 1708, 1709, 1711, 1713, and 1715, and probably in other years not of record. He was elected Constable, Feb. 1704/5, and Deputy to the Mass. General Court, May 1707. On 10 Apr. 1682, Isaac and his son Isaac, Jr., had home lots and other lands granted them in Enfield. Since the son Isaac was then under ten, his father may have been investing the proceeds from the sale of Browning property inherited by his children. The will of Isaac Meacham, Sr., dated 1 Aug. 1704, proved 7 Sept. 1715, called him husbandman, aged sixty-one, and named his wife Deborah, and children, Isaac, Deborah, Mary, Jeremiah, Israel, Ebenezer, Ichabod, John, and Joseph. He mentioned "my childrens grandfather Browning" several times, and also Thomas Perkins, "my wifes son." The inventory, dated 27 May 1715, calls him Capt. Isaac Meacham.

He was second son of Clement Minor, of Chew Magna, co. Somerset, of an armigerous family. According to Banks, he came on the Lyon's Whelp, J<;>hn Gibbs, Master, which sailed from Gravesend, 25 Apr. 1629. He settled in Charlestown, Mass., and in 1636 removed to Hingham, Mass. Here he remained until 1645, when he joined the second Gov. John Winthrop's colony of Massachu setts Puritans in the settlement of Pequot, later known as New London, Conn. Here he at once became prominent, and in May 1649 was appointed Sergeant of the New London Train Band by the Connecticut General Court. In 1652 he removed to Stonington, Conn., where he lived the remainder of his life. He had served New London as Deputy to the General Court, Sept. 1650, and May and Sept. 1651.

In King Philip's War he served as Lieutenant, being referred to by that title in Feb. and Apr. 1676, and as Captain, Aug. 1676, though usually referred to in his later years as "Lieutenant." He served as a Magistrate [Justice] for New London, May 1649, and for Stonington, Oct. 1664 and May 1665. He was Commissioner [Justice] for Stonington from 1669 to 1682 inclusive.

[P.C.C., 152 Wootten.] His elder son, Nathaniel, while of London, was admitted pensioner at St. Catharine's Hall, Cambridge, 1632; B.A., 1636-37; emigrated 1638 and preached some but returned to England in 1650 and became vicar of Walsingham, co. Norfolk; ejected at the Restoration in 1660, and died at St. Dunstan-in-the-East, London, 10 Aug. 1662. The younger son, Richard, was schoolmaster at Watertown and left descendants here. John Norcross in 1642 had 22 acres on the south side of the river in Cambridge. Since Jeremiah in his will mentioned his brother's daughter, Anna, in this country, it is likely that John was the brother of Jeremiah and father of Anna, but this is unproved.* References J. W.

WILLIAM 1 PARKER, born in England, , died at Saybrook, Conn., 21 Dec. 1686; married MARGERY •---, born in England, , died at Saybrook, Conn., 6 Dec. 1680. He was an original proprietor of Hartford, Conn., in 1636. The original book of land distributions, under date of "Febr: Anno: Dom: 1639," lists "Severall parcells of land in hertford vpon the river of Cannecticott belong inge to \Villiam Parker & to his heires forever:" The first was two acres with a dwelling house, and ten o1her parcels were listed. The homelot was sold to Michael Spencer, and other pieces were disposed of to Daniel Pratt, Joseph Collier, Mr. Pitkin, and others. He served in the Pequot War, 1637, and for this service received a colonial grant of 100 acres in May 1673. He soon removed to Saybrook, Conn., and served that town as Deputy to the Conn. General Court, Sept. 1652, May 1672, May and Oct. 1673, Oct. 1674, May 1676, Oct. '1678, May and Oct. 1679, Oct. 1680, May and Oct. 1681, May and Oct. 1682, and May 1683.

Mr. William Whiting of Hartford, in a codicil to his will bearing date 2 Apr. 1646, immediately after a gift of £5 to a sister and of £3 apiece to his sister's children, wrote "I giue vnto margery parker," £10. This was a good-sized legacy to receive from a man, even though wealthy, who had a wife and children; and though no relationship is mentioned, it is likely that Margery was connected in some way with the \Vhitings or that they brought PARKER FAMILY 289 her to this country as a member of their household. The Parker children were all recorded .in Saybrook, though the older ones must have been born in Hartford. The eldest was born in 1637, so the marriage of William and Margery probably occurred soon after they came to Hartford. In Saybrook, he had a house and homelot of 3¼ acres, bounded south and north on highways, west on land of Thomas Adgate, east on land of Master James Fitch. He was one of the three appraisers of the es.tate of the historical figure, George Fenwick, in 1660. The wills before 1700 of the New London Probate District were destroyed. The following references from the first book of deeds in Saybrook are there fore of special interest. Lands of William Parker were itemized, and under neath we read: "This record doth testifie that William Parker late of Say Brook deceased hath by his last Will and Testament bearing date 27: of July 1683, bequeathed certain Legacies unto several of his Grand-children, as followeth "Imprimis, to his grandson John Parker the son of his son John Parker, twenty acres of woodland . . . . and . . . . five hundred acres of that land given unto him by Joshua the late Indian Sachem, "Item: unto the two sons of his eldest daughter Sarah he hath given five hundred acres of the land given him by Joshua:" We also learn from the land records that Joseph Parker received nine pieces of land by gift of his father William Parker in June 1674, and that William gave 20 acres of woodland to his grandson, Joseph Parker. WiUiam Parker, Jr., entered lands given him by his father "many years before" the latter's decease, "together with what lands his father William Parker senior gave him by his last will .... 27th of July 1683." This last included a fourth of the land given him by Joshua, ,the Indian Sachem. The grandson William Parker also received 20 acres of woodland. David Parker on 1 Apr. 1687 entered the lands given him by his father, William Parker, deceased. The first of seven parcels was "His home Iott .... [ which] was first unto his son William Parker upon which he erected a dwelling house and dwelt there sometime until the decease of his mother after which he put his son David Parker in possession thereof who hath enjoyed peaceable possession thereof untill now by his last wil! .... 27th of July 1683, ordered his son William Parker to Rezine up the said house [etc.] . . . . unto his son David Parker unto which his said son William Parker consents as witness his hand this first day of Aprill 1687." The eldest son of David Parker also had land by the grandfather's will. The will and inventory of Mr. William Parker of Saybrook were exhibited, and the son William, named executor in the will, accepted the trust, 1686-7. References Conn.

Most of this group settled at Wessaaguscus, and the name of this plantation was officially changed in July to Weymouth. Porter thus became one of the founders of that town. He was made a freeman, 18 May 1653.

(LIEUTENANT) WILLIAM 1 PRATT, born about 1615, died at Saybrook, Conn., in 1678; married by 1641, EuzABETH 2 CLARK, daughter of "Elder" J ohn1 Clark. F. W. Chapman published Th'e Pratt Family in 1864, at a time when facili ties for research were poor. Pages 43-47 allege the descent of Lieut. William Pratt from Thomas Pratt of Baldock, co. Herts, whose will was made 5 Feb. 1538/9. This Thomas is said to have been father of Andrew, whose son William, bapt. Oct. 1562, is identified as the Rev. William Pratt, Rector of Stevenage, co. Herts. His will, Nov. 1629, named his wife ~lizabeth and children Sarah, Mary and Richard. The baptisms of four children of Rev. William are given: Sarah, bapt. 6 Feb. 1605; Elizabeth, bapt. 2 Apr. 1613; Richard, bapt. 16 Feb. 1618; and John, bapt. 9 Nov. 1620. Six children of Rev. Winiam are named on a :tablet in the church in his memory: Sarah, Mary, Elizabeth, Richard, John, and \Villiam. Despite the lack of mention of three of the children, John, William and Elizabeth, in the will, Mr. Chap man concluded, on what grounds do not appear, that John and William, sons of Rev. William, were the Hartford settlers of those names. He surmises that they had received their portions during the testator's lifetime, perhaps to provide them with funds to come to New England. This conclusion seems impossible. , John and William Pratt of Hartford do 296 THE GRANBERRY FAMILY AND ALLIED FAMILIES not appear in American records until several years after Rev. \Villiam Pratt made his will in 1629. Furthennore, the baptism of Rev. \Villiam's son John is g·iven as occurring in 1620, hence he would be but nine years old at the time of the will and could not have received his portion. John Pratt served his first term as Deputy for Hartford·in 1639.* This office as a rule went to men of experience, usually men of over thirty years and commonly in middle life. The son of Rev. William, baptized 1620, would have been but 19 at this date, and it is inconceivable that he could have held this office at that age. The obvious interpretation of the wi11 of Rev. William is that the three children not named in it had died in childhood. John and William Pratt more probably belonged to a substantial yeoman family in England. They may have been brothers, though William seems to have been considerably younger than John, since he did not marry until two or three years after John had held important of--fi.ce. But it would have been quite possible for John to be well over thirty at a date when William was in his early twenties. The public service of William did not begin until s,everal years later, except of course his service as a soldier in the Pequot War ( 1637), to which his youth was no bar. But no proof of relationship has been seen. The Topographica.l Dictionary of Charles E. Banks (pub. E. E. Brownell, 1937, p. 13) states that John Pratt was from Wood Ditton, co. Cambridge. William Pratt was appointed Lieutenant of the Saybrook Train Band, Oct. 1661. He was Deputy for Saybrook to the Conn. General Court or Assembly, at the sessions of Oct. 1666, Oct. 1667, Oct. 1668, May and Oct. 1669, Oct. 1670, May and Oct. 1671, May 1672, May and Oct. 1673, May and Oct. 1674, May and Oct. 1675, May and Oct. 1676, May and Oct. 1677, and May 1678. He was Commissioner (Justice) for Saybrook, 1666 to 1678 inclusive. In Oct. 1670 the General Assembly granted him 100 acres in recognition of his service in the Pequot War. [Conn. Colonial Reoords, vol. 1, p. 375; vol. 2, pp. 32, 47, 63, 70, 84, 94, 105, 106, 116, 131, 136, 144, 147, 152, 159, 169, 170, 192, 209, 221, 236, 249, 250, 265, 274, 275, 286, 300, 304, 318; vol. 3, pp. 2, 5.] The length of his Deputy service qualifies him as an ancestor for the Society of Colonial Dames of America, and the Pequot War service for the Society of Colonial Wars. William Pratt received a lot in Soldier's Field, Har1:'ford, as one of the band that went from Hartford to fight the Pequots; he sold it in 1645 and removed to Saybrook, probably about that time. He married, by 1641, Elizabeth Clark, daughter of "Elder" John Clark, who later was a Patentee of Connecticut Colony named in the Royal Charter of 1662. This is proved by John Clark's will. William became possessed of oonsiderable land, more than 250 acres being found on record which were acquired by grant or pur chase. He was also a legatee for a large tract of land in the will of the Indian Attawanhood who was known to the English as, Joshua Uncas. These * The error o-f Savage (Genealo•gica,l Dictionary of New England, 3-472) in supposing there were two John Pratts early in Hartford was refuted by F. F. Starr (Goodwin and Morgan Ancestral Lines, 1-2). READ FAMILY 297 and other details are stated with full references in Darwes-Gafes Ancestral Lines, by Mary Walton Ferris, vol. 2, pp. 675-681. Her account does not go beyond the children of William. His widow married William Parker. He last attended the General Court, as stated, May 1678, and was again reappointed Commissioner for Saybrook, but he appears no more in the records thereafter, and probably died during 1678. The marriage record of his son William, 20 Feb. 1678/9, calls him son of Lieut. William Pratt deceased, so he certainly died before that date. The New London Probate Records and Files before 1700 were destroyed.

She married second, [Robert?] Percy of New London, Conn. He was described in the Gillingham record at marriage as son of the widow Reade in Batcombe, in the County of Somerset. His bride was daughter of Edward and Joanna Hayme of Gillingham. He came with Rev. Joseph Hull's company, which sailed about 20 Mar. 1635 from Weymouth, co. Dorset, being described as "Willm Read of Batcombe Taylor in Som'stt aged 28 Yeare," with wife Susan, aged 29, and daughters Hannah, aged 3, and Susan, aged 1. This company disembarked at Dorchester, 7 June 1635, and settled in ·weymouth. He was made freeman of Massachusetts Bay, 2 Sept. 1635, and was Deputy (for Weymouth) to the General Court, Oct. 1636 and Sept. 1638, being called "Goodman" in the former year, and in the latter serving on the committee for the £400 rate. [Shurtleff's Records of Massachusetts Bay, 1-371, 185, 235, 242. J He was chosen Constable in 1644. He lived in Weymouth, where children were recorded to him in 1639 and 1641, until shortly before 1646, when his son John was born in Boston, and baptized 27 Sept. 1646 as "sonne of William Reade, a Recomended Member from the Church at Waymouth." William and Susanna, his wife, were admitted to the First Church of Boston, 15 May 1647, "upon letters of Dismission from the Church at vVaymouth." On 16 Feb. 1654/5, Rev. John Wilson of Boston, for £40, sold to William Reade of Boston, tailor, a strip of 100 by 13 feet on "ye streate yt leadeth to y" Dock," -bounded on land of Read's which he had purchased of John Stephenson. William Reade of Boston, tailor, on 20 July 1661, mortgaged his Boston property, a dwelling house with a shop, and on 15 Apr. 1672, hav ing failed to keep up his payments, resigned the property to the mortgagees. [ Suffolk Deeds, 2-142 ; 3-486; 5-291.] His second wife, doubtless much younger than himself, went back to Eng land in 1669, soon after the birth of her tenth child. Upon her return in 1673, she was tried for misconduct while in England, and banished from the Colony. She went to Rhode Island and on 2 Sept. 1674 William petitioned for permission for her to return, which the Court refused. Ruth (Crooke), the second wife of William Read, was almost certainly, sister of Rebecca Crooke, wife of Peter2 Gardner ( see the Gardner family herein), and daughter of Roger Crooke of Hammersmith, co. Middlesex, England. William Read of Boston, on 28 Nov. 1673, sold to Stephen French of Weymouth, two acres of swamp land in Weymouth, "g-ranted to me the said William Read for a swamp Iott -by ye Inhabitants of y" towne of Weymouth" [ib., 13-302]. This is the last mention found of William. Evidently fond of his wife and forgiving toward her despite her misconduct, he may have followed her to Rhode Island. The two surviving sons by his first wife, Josiah and John, settled in Norwich, Conn., by 1673. At a Court in New London, 13 June 1679, Hezekiah Read, one the second wife's children (he was born in Boston, READ FAMILY 299 6 July 1663), chose Josiah and John for his guardians, and this is the real evidence which establishes the identity of John Read of Norwich with the son of William Read of Boston.

(Chart II, Line 10) NOTE ON THE HOLLOWAY FAMILY William Holloway seems to have come to New England as an apprentice of William Bassett and is first mentioned 2 Jan. 1637 /8 when F1rancis Sprague was fined for beating him. He was propounded for freeman, 7 Mar. 1642/3, and is in the 1643 list ocf freemen of Marshfield, another of the same name being then a freeman of Taunton. On 29 Oct. 1649, he wa's presented for fighting with Peregrine White, both of Marshfield. Administration on his estate was granted to his widow Grace, 1 Mar. 1652/3. The estate was small, inventoried at £65.15.0(); the larger items were upland and meadow (£20), four cows (£20), dwelling house and housing for cattle (£5), and bed and bedding (£5). On 7 Mar. 1653/4, "The widciow Hallowell ...... doth allow vnto her two ciaughters ten pounds apeece to either of them." Mr. Edward Bulkeley (the Manhfield minister) was her bondsman, but he was cleared of his engagement 8 June 1654 and replaced by John Phillips. The latter married ( the widow) Grace Holloway at Marsh- REED FAMILY 301 field, 6 July 1654. She died there and was buried 24 June 1666. It appears that she and her son Jeremiah Phillips (aged about ten year's) were killed by lightning on 23 June. On 31 Oct. 1666, "John Phillips, of Marshfield, tendered to make payment of ...... ten pounds vnto Grace Halloway, the daugihter of \,Villafr1 Halloway, deceased .... . being now of age to receiue the said sun1e as her portion." The marriage of Josiah Read to (the cfaughter) Grace Holloway in Nov. 1666 was recorded at both Marshfield, Mass., and Norwich, Conn., where they -settled. ' Josiah Read was elder brother of J ohn2 Read. The latter married the younger Hollo way sister, Hannah, probably about 1672. Both parents of ·Hannah were then dead, and her step,-father, John PhiHips, signed a marriage contract, 23 Feb. 1666/7, with Faith Doty of Plymouth and married her 14 Mar. following. It seems quite probable, in these cil'cumstanoes, that Hannah accompani,ed her siste1r, the wife of Josiah Read, to Norwich, and there met and married the latter's brother John, but the marriage ha:s not been found recorded. It is proved by a conveyance dated Marshfield, 6 Sept. 1673, given by "Hannah Read (somtymes Hannah Hollaway) wife to John Read of the Towne of Norwich in the Collony of ConnetiCote, hauing the whole halfe part of two pCells of Land which was sometymes her fathers william Holloway," con·sistin1g of the half of 24 acres of orchard purchased by William of Arthur Howland, Sr., and the half of 30i acres of upland granted to William by the Town of Marshfield, all which she sold for £15 "with the Consent of my hu9band" to William Ford, Sr., of Marshfield. The deed seems to have been imprnperly drawn, for a confirmation deed was given 1 Sept. 1674 by John Read of Norwich and Hannah his wife. The death of Hannah and the man1age of John Rea,d to his second wife Sa.rah have not been found of record. It is therefore uncertain which was mother of his children, except that the youngest child, in 1696, was by Sarah. From their dates of marriage, all the children could have been born after 1680. There was no surviving daughter named Gra:ce, and no grandchild was named Grace. It is quite po's,sible that all the surviving children were by Sarah. It remains possible, however, that the mother of Sarah" Read, who mwrried in 1700, was Hannah Holloway. She bore the name of John Read's s·econd wife, hut herself named a daughter Hannah.

THOMAS1 RrcHARDS, born in England, about 1590, died at Weymouth, Mass., about Jan. 1650/1; married WEALTHIAN [LoRING?], born possibly in Devonshire, England, died at Boston, Mass., between 3 July and 4 Nov. 1679. He came to Dorchester, Mass., probably on the Mary and John, in 1630, where he was a merchant and citizen of standing. He served with the town committee or Selectmen, 1633. In 1638 he removed to Weymouth, l\fass., and there he was one of the six townsmen [Selectmen] in 1643, 1644 and 1645. He was called "Mr." in the Dorchester records, evidencing his social status. The will of Thomas Richards of Weymouth was made 17 Dec. 1650 at the house of Thomas Loring in Hull, Mass., and was proved 28 Jan. 1650/1. The inventory of his estate was taken at Weymouth, 18 Jan. 1650/1. The will named his wife; sons John, James, Samuel, Joseph, and Benjamin; ancl daughters Mary, Ann, Alce and Hannah; "to Brother Tho" Loringe." He appointed his son John, Thomas Loring, and Nicholas Baker, overseers. The heirs, James Richards, Joseph Richards, Benjamin Richards, Mr. Thomas Hinckley, Mr. William Bradford, Ephraim Hunt, and Hannah Richards, the son John being then in England, asked for the appointment of "our deare Mother mrs W elthian Richards" as Executor. Madam Richards in her widowhood settled in Boston, Mas~. Her will, made 3 July 1679, proved 4 Nov. 1679, was sig·ned by mark. She gave legacies to her eldest son John Richards; son James Richards; Thomas, Alice, Hannah, Mercy, William Jr., John, Samuel, Melatiah, Mary and Sarah Brad ford, the ten children of William Bradford of "Plimoth Colony" and my daughter Al[ce] deceased; Samuel Hinckley, Thomas Hinckley, Jr., Sarah Bacon, Hannah Glover, Melatiah Crocker, Bathshua Hinckley, Mehitable Hinckley, and Mary Wihorne, the eight children of Thomas Hinckley of "Plimoth Colony" and my daughter Mary deceased; Ephraim and John Hunt, sons of Ephraim Hunt, Sr., of Weymouth and my late daughter Anne; son James's six children; and after other legacies, gave £10 to the poor of Boston, £5 to the First Church in Boston, and £5 to Harvard College. 304 THE GRANBERRY FAMILY AND ALLIED FAMILIES Since Thomas Richards was visiting at Thomas Loring's home in Hull when he made his will, and called Thomas, Loring "Brother," we have a clue :to the identity of his wife Wealthiani. Many of the leaders of the settlement at Dorchester came from the three southwestern English counties of Devon, Dorset, and Somerset. Deacon Thomas Loring of Hull ha;d been early at Dorchester. His grandson, Rev. Israel Loring, left a Journal and other papers (preserved at the Sudbury Public Library) in which he states that Thomas Loring married Jane Newton and that they came from Axminster, Devonshire. The baptisms of their older children have been found at Axminster. Therefore, Loring did not marry the sister of Richards. The will of John Newton of Colyton, Devonshire, chirurgeon, made 3 Apr. 1646, proved 24 Apr. 1647, named his wife Alice, daughter Mary Stocker in England, and son Anthony and daughter Joane, both in New England. Since Anthony Newton was also among the Dorchester settlers, and Colyton is scarcely five miles from Axminster, it is extremely likely that John Newton's daughter Joane is identical with Jane Newton the wife of Thomas Loring. Therefore, Richards did not marry a sister of Loring's wife, for no daughter W ealthian was named in the Newton will. It is most probable, in consequence, that the wife of Thomas Richards was vVealthian Loring. According to Col. Charles E. Banks, Thomas Richards was from Pit minster, co. Somerset. While the daughter Alice Richards married Deputy-Governor William Bradford, the daughter Mary Richards married Governor Thomas Hinckley. The son James Richards became a leading citizen of Hartford, Conn. References Dorchester Town Records (Fourth Report, Boston Record Commissioners), pp. 2, 3, 9, 10, 18, 20, 26, 27, 29.

RrcHARD1 ROBBINS, born in England, died probably at Cambridge, Mass., after 1681 ; married first, REBECCA ---, who died by 1673; married second, ROOTS FAMILY 307 at Cambridge, 26 Mar. 1673, Elizabeth (Coolidge), widow lof Gilbert Crackbone. Richard and his wife joined the church in Charlestown, Mass., 24 May 1640, and soon after settled in Cambridge, where the minister of the church entered the family as Richard and Rebecca with children John, Samuel, Nathaniel and Rebecca. On 7 June 1681, Richard Robbins conveyed land to his daughter Rebecca and her husband John Woodward. A fantastic account has appeared in many printed sources, to the effect that Richard Robbins of Cambridge, John Robbins of Wethersfield, Nicholas and Thomas Robbins of Duxbury, and Samuel Robbins of Salisbury, were all brothers, and sons of John and Hester Robbins of Thedingworth, co. Leicester, England, and the will of Samuel Robbins of Salisbury has been cited in proof. In strict fact, it is only necessary to read the will of Samuel to disprove this claim; not to mention the disparity of social and economic status of the alleged "brothers." The will of Samuel Robins of Salisbury, made 22 Aug. 1665, gave his whole estate "to any one, ore more of my owne brethren that shall thinke good to come over into N ewengfand wthin three years time after they shall heare of my decease & if neither one or more of them shall thinke good to com over:" then he gave his whole estate to his father John Robins of Thedingworth, Leicestershire, England, and if not living, to his mother Hester Robins, and if she be not living, then to his brother Joseph Robins. It is perfectly clear from the terms of this will that not one brother of Samuel Robins was living in New England in 1665, since any one or more of them who should come over within three years were to have his estate; yet Richard of Cambridge had then been living in New England at least twenty-five years, and John of Wethersfield had been living here even longer.

He settled early in Salem, Mass., with his brothers Thomas and Richard, and their mother, then the widow Emma Mason. In Feb. 1654/6, Josiah Roots, drummer, was fined for being overtaken in drink at the last exercise of the artillery in Salem. He was sworn a free man, Feb. 1649/50, and served on a Grand Jury, 28 Nov. 1665. In Nov. 1676, he was excused from training because of age and weakness. He w·as a tithingman of Beverly, 1677.

He is not the Robert Royce who died at Boston prior to Oct. 1668, leaving a widow Elizabeth, who by that date had become the wife of Michael Tarne. He is first noted in Stratford, Conn., where several pieces of land were recorded to him as Robert "Rise" on 16 Sept. 1658. He was living there on 7 Oct. 1656, when the Court at New Haven acted on the estate of Humphrey Spinning ( or Spinage) and the record mentions that a son of "old Goodman Rice of Stratford" was then about to marry Mary Spinning. He moved to New London, probably the following spring and before his lands at Stratford were recorded there, for on 26 Aug. 1657, the town of ROYCE FAMILY 309 New London gave him land in addition to the homelot he had bought of John Elderkin. In 1660 he was Constable of New London, and in 1662 and 1667 was chosen sealer of leather. He was rate collector, 1667, and a Townsman (Selectman), 1668. He was a juryman in 1666, and a Grand Juror for New London in 1668. On 25 Feb. 1666/7, he was chosen to keep the ordinary. He was Deputy for New London to the Connecticut General Court, May 1661.

JoNATHAN 1 RUDD, born , died at Saybrook, Conn., in 1658; married in the winter of 1646-7, --- Jonathan Rudd first appears at Hartford, Conn., 2 Apr. 1640, when with other youths he was before the Court for being too intimate with Mary Bronson. He came to New Haven, where he was one of several fined for defective arms, 4 Jan. 1643/4. Three months later, he was fined with others for attending a drinking party; and he took the Oath of Fidelity, 1 July 1644. He seems to have- returned ,shortly after to Hartford, and although he was mentioned in New Haven records 2 June 1646 as having told Edward Parker some gossip he had heard from the boatswain, he did not appear to RUDD FAMILY 311 testify in the case. At Hartford he was sued by William Edwards, 5 June 1645. It is not known when he settled in Saybrook, except that he was there by the winter of 1646-7. He was made a Freeman of Connecticut Colony, 15 May 1651. On 23 Feb. 1652/3, he was appointed with Thomas Tracy to assist Capt. J ohri Mason in fitting out the six great guns for the defence of Saybrook. He was made leather sealer for Saybrook, 4 Oct. 1656. His title of lieutenant, which appears in records of his estate, may have come from his being one of the two men appointed to assist Captain Mason at Saybrook Fort, but unlike his co-assistant, Thomas 'Tracy, he does not seem to have been formally commissioned. Qualifying ancestor, Society of Colonial Wars. The inventory of the estate of Lt. Jonathan Rudd of Saybrook, amounting to £106.03.10, was taken July 1658 by John Westol and Stephen Post, who were desired by the Court to administer. Mr. Fitch was also desired to be helpful to the children, "as is declared are two sons and 4 daughters." Mr. Westol showed his accounts 2 June 1663, and had paid debts totaling £96.08.00. Jonathan Rudd is chiefly remembered for the romance of his marriage, as told by Gov. John Winthrop in a deposition relating to the boundary between New London and Saybrook. "It fell out, the first winter of our setling there [ at New London, 1646-7], that Jonathan Rudd being to be maried at Saybrooke, there falling out at yt time a great snow, the magistrate intended to goe downe thither was hindred by the depth of yt snow; whereupon they desired me to assist them there in yt businesse. But I saw it necessary to denye them in yt way, but told them yt for an expedient of their accommoda tion, if they come to y• plantation [New London] it might be done: but that being too difficult for them, it was agreed they should come to yt place w0h is now called Bride brooke; and accordingly I mett them there, at the tyme appointed ( others of our plantation being wth me, knowing the place) and there those persons were then maried, as being a place wthin the bounds of yt authority wherby I then acted; otherwise I had exceeded y• limits of my commission." Mr. Winthrop was then acting under -a commission issued by Massachusetts Bay, before New London joined Connecticut Colony, hence had no authority to perform marriages in Saybrook in the latter colony. By meeting the wedding party at "Bride Brook," on the boundary between New 1 London and Saybrook, he did not exceed his authority. The several Rudds who appear in the next generation were undoubtedly among those children of Jonathan who were mentioned but not named in the probate records. The sons were Jonathan of Norwich (the east side, after ward Preston), who died 19 Aug. 1689, having married 19 Dec. 1678 Mercy Bushnell, born Mar. 1657, daughter of Richard and Mary (Marvin) Bushnell; and Nathaniel of Norwich (West Farms, now Franklin), who died Apr. 1727, having married first, 16 Apr. 1685, Mary Post ( died Nov. 1705), and second, 31 Jan. 1705/6, Abigail Hartshorn.

CHARLES6 SMITH, born at Spaffordsville, South Windham, Conn., 14 Sept. 1807, died there 6 Apr. 1896; married at Chaplin, Conn., 3 Nov. 1835, MARY7 ABBE, born at Ashford, Conn., 14 Aug. 1816, died at South Windham, Conn., 10 Apr. 1901, daughter of Moses Cleveland6 and Talitha (Waldo) Abbe. Left an orphan at fourteen, Charles Smith lived for three years with his uncle, Frederick Smith, an expert mathematician, and later learned the trades of wheelwright and millwright in Windham with George Spafford. In 1835 he was placed in charge of a force of men employed at Stafford, by Mr. Spaf ford and James Phelps, in building a machine for making paper. This machine was a duplicate of a machine imported for paper-making and set up at North Windham. Mr. Smith soon demonstrated his ability and, the machine> proving a success, Phelps and Spafford established a factory at South Windham, with Mr. Smith as superintendent. The panic of 1837 crippled the owners, and Mr. Smith with his brother-in-law, Harvey Winchester, pur chased the factory and continued to operate it under the name of Smith, \,Vinchester & Co. The business was incorporated, after Mr. Smith's death, as the Smith & Winchester Company. Mr. Smith was a member of the Episcopal Church at Windham Center. He was one of the incorporators of the Windham National Bank, and con tinued to be a director after its removal to Willimantic and until his death. He adhered to the Republican party from its formation until his death. He did not seek public office, but served the town as First Selectman. He had two children: Guilford, b. 12 May 1839, m. 16 Dec. 1863, Mary Ramsdall; and Mary (Mrs. Woodward, mentioned below). The son became a successful business man of South Windham, Conn., secretary and treasurer of the Smith & Winchester Co., president of the Windham National Bank, and served the town in the Connecticut General Assembly and in local offices.

He came to Plymouth about 1638 and married at Marshfield in 1640; removed to Stratford, Conn., by 1644; in 1645 was living in the Oyster River section west of New Haven; shortly after removed to Long Island, where he was living in 1652 when he bought property in New London. He removed there, but in 1655 had a child born in Marshfield. He remained in New London until after the settlement of Norwich, but had removed to that town by 1663. His brother John Smith, born about 1609, died 4 Oct. 1679, lived in Boston, Mass., and New London, Conn. Their nephew Edward Smith, son of their eldest brother in England, came to New London to live with John Smith, who was childless and promised Edward a child's portion. A great deal of testimony was taken after John's death to prove this, which shows that the family had suffered severe losses during the Civil War in England. The last will and the inventory of the estate of "Mr Nehemia Smith Senior of Norwich" were exhibited 22 Sept. 1686, and administration was granted to "the heire Nehemiah Smith."

JAMES1 SMITH, known as "Sr." born in England, , died at Boston, Mass., 21 May 1676; married JoAN ---. He settled in Weymouth by 1639. His will, dated 19 June 1673, proved 22 June 1676, named his wife Joane; sons James and Nathaniel; grandson James, son of his son Joshua deceased; and daughter Hannah Narramore. The account of this family by Howard Redwood Guild in The Dedha,n1, Register places James Smith, Sr., as father of James Smith, Jr., and we follow this conclusion despite the contrary opinion of George W. Chamberlain in his "History of Weymouth." The difficulty is caused by two records: a nameless wife of James Smith died 2 May 1659, and James son of James Smith was born 26 June 1659. These records, if correct, cannot apply to the same man, for he could not have a son born less than two months after his wife died. Mr. Chamberlain makes the James born in 1659 the son of James, Sr., and the death of the nameless wife he assigns to James, Jr., and that of course would make it impossible for "Jr." to be son of "Sr.," since he could not have a wife die the year he was born. There is no reason to believe that James, Sr., would have a child born as late as 1659. His only recorded child was Nathaniel in 1639, twenty years earlier, and not unlikely Nathaniel was the youngest child. The son James was named ahead of Nathaniel in the will, and was probably older. Names of the children of James, Jr., indicate that he was son of J'ames, Sr., and that accords with the apparent ages of the two men. Apparently it was never known (and Mr. Chamberlain omits the fact) that James, Jr., had a son 2 Joshua3, named of course for his brother Joshua who died in,young man hood. Proof of this will he found below, and it constitutes strong evidence for our conclusion. We therefore conclude that there is an error in one of the conflicting records, either in the original or in the reading of it.* Children: 2 +i. JAMES , b. [say 1634]. ii. HANNAH, m.

The vital records of Wenham, Mass., do not begin until 1695, and after that date three children of Moses Stevens are recorded, the name of the mother appearing in two entries as W aitstill, and in the third as "Hoopfor waitstill." Undoubtedly she was the Waite Stevens who appears in a list, earlier than 1700, of those who "submitted to the watch of the church." The ten children whose baptisms were entered with great regularity at two-year intervals belonged, it cannot be doubted, to Moses and Wait; three of them correspond to the three children of Moses and Wait whose births are in the town records. Children: Moses, bapt. 1685; Charles, bapt. 168[7] ; John, bapt. 168[9] ; Gift, bapt.

[Essex County Deeds, 72: 252.] There is no probate for Aaron Stevens, and the deed, made five days before Aaron's death, seems to have been made in lieu of a will, to provide the widow with funds to care for herself and the young children. It is odd that Lydia, after remaining eleven years a widow, married Thomas Pearse, the next-door neighbor who bought the land. Thomas Pearse of Ipswich, Weaver, in his will dated 8 Apr. 1766, proved 24 Sept. 1770, gave "to my Wife Lydia to be at her Soul Use and Disposall . . . . all the Remainder of my Estate . . . . .

She married second, Simon Ray. Col. Charles E. Banks derives Humphrey Tiffany from St. John Hackney, co. Middlesex. He settled early in Rehoboth, Mass., but removed to Milton, Mass., where he lived from 1668 to 1681. He had six children recorded in Milton. The records of that town show that he owed a day's work to the town in 1670, also in 1672 and 1673. His name appears in rate lists from 1674, the earliest in the book, to 1680/1 (list dated 22: 1zm 1680). His name does not appear in the next list (1681/2). He was one of the three highway wardens chosen 9 Dec. 1678. He removed in 1681 to Swansea, Mass. An account of his death was given by Samuel Sewall in his Diary, 15 July 1685. "One Humphry Tiffiny and Frances Low, Daughter of Antony Low, are slain with the Lightening and Thunder about a mile or half a mile beyond Billinges Farm, the Horse also slain, that they rode on, and another Horse in the Company slain . . Were coming to Boston." His widow Eliza:beth was appointed administratrix on his estate, 27 Oct. 1685. His widow's second husband, Simon Ray, was of New Shoreham, R. I., and some of the Tiffany children settled there. A granddaughter of Simon Ray left a written account, which states that Elizabeth was a widow with eleven children. When Consider Tiffany died in Lyme, Conn., in 1708, testimony was taken regarding his nuncupative will, and Elizabeth Ray, aged 63, deposed that "my son Consider Tiffany" expressed his will.

J 0HN 1 TISDALE, born in England, , killed by the Indians at Taunton, Mass., 27 June 1675; married SARAH 2 WALKER, born in England, about 1618, died at Taunton, Mass., in Dec. 1676, daughter of --- and -- (Browne) Walker [see Walker-Browne Family herein]. John Tisdale or Tisdal\ first appears in Plymouth Colony records on 7 June 1636, when "John Tisdale, yeoman, entreth an accon of battery against Steven Hopkins, Assistant to the govmt, by whom the said John was dangerously wounded, as he affirmeth." Stephen Hopkins was one of the Mayflower passengers, a man of standing, and in a position of authority. What caused him to attack young Tisdale, we are not informed. The Puritans, whatever their detractors may allege against them, had a sense of justice and were no respecters of persons. Hopkins was found at fault and was fined :£5 "to our s,ov. lord the King, whose peace he had broken, w'h he ought after a speciall manner to haue kept, and also . . . . forty shillings to the plaintiffe." On 2 Oct. 1637, "Tenn acres of land are graunted to John Tisdall, lying crosse to Greenes Harbor Payth, haueing the comon lands on the east and west sides, the lands of Georg Hall lying on the south side, and the lands of Edward Hall lying on the north side." And 6 Nov. 1638, "John Tisdall, vpon the good report made of him, & of his good carryage, is allowed to keepe house and plant for himself, puided that he so continue his carryage still." On 6 Apr. 1640, "John Tisdall is graunted enlargment at the lower end of his Iott, if there shalbe found any spare land, when Mr Collyer, Jona than Brewster, and Wilhn Bassett haue view the place, puided that there be a heigh way left for Cattell to passe to and from the C0ll1011 by." He was propounded freeman, 7 Sept. 1642, and admitted 7 Mar. 1642/3. He was listed as one of the Duxbury men able to bear arms in 1642. He served on the Grand Inquest, 5 June 1644, 1 June 1647, 4 June 1650, 7 June 1652, 7 June 1653, and 5 June 1671, and was on trial juries, 5 Nov. 1644, 4 Oct. 1655, 4 Jdne 1657, and 1 Mar. 1663/4. He was on a jury 29 Oct. 1650 to determine the cause of death by drowning of Thomas Cooke. He was Constable of Duxbury, 4 June 1645. ' In 1653 he was fined 20 shilling'S for permitting the substitution of a cow by his fellow-appraiser when they were appointed to appraise a cow belonging to John Bryant of Taunton. This is the only flaw in his public record. After his settlement in Taunton, he was employed often in public office. He was Constable of that town, 8 June 1655 and 7 June 1659; and a Select man, 1672 to 1675 inclusive. On 3 June 1674, he was Deputy from Taunton to the Plymouth General Court. On the list of freemen at Taunton, 29 May 1670, he appears with his sons John, Jr., and James. He was killed by the Indians in the attack on Taunton, 27 June 1675, during King Philip's War. The houses of James Walker and John Tisdale were burned. Letters of administration were granted, 1 Nov. 1676, to John, 332 THE GRANBERRY FAMILY AND ALLIED FAMILIES James, Joshua and Joseph Tisdall. The Court ordered, 6 Mar. 1676/7, that the eldest son should have a double portion, and an equal share to the other three sons and to the four daughters. The will of James Tisdall, Sr., not dated or signed, was probated 2 Nov. 1676 on the oath of Mr. James Walker, Sr. It named his sons, John, James, Joshua and Joseph, and daughters Elizabeth, Sarah, Mary and Abigaill; and wife, executrix. He gave to his son James, "the land upon which his house standeth and about five acrees of land lying on the east side of the Great River over against his house, [ other land and] alsoe my lott att Swansey and my meddow att Sabegegansett and my share in the Iron workes, after the Death of his mother." The sons made a mutual agreement for distribution 4 June 1677, also with their brothers-in-law, John Smith, James Dean, and Nathaniel French, and with Mr. James Browne of Swansea as guardian of Abigail.

On 30 May 1644, the General Court granted the petition of Robert Parke to proceed in marriage with Alice Tompson without further publishment.

Norfolk, England, died at Norwich, Conn., 7 Nov. 1685; married first, ------; married second, Martha (Bourne) Bradford, who died at Norwich between 1676 and 1683, widow of John Bradford; married third, Mary (Foote) (Stoddard) Good rich, born in England about 1623, widow of John Stoddard ( died 1664) and of John Goodrich ( died 1680). He was a ship carpenter, and was received an inhabitant in Salem, Mass., 2 Mar. 1636/7, upon the recommendation of some Watertown citizens. He removed to Wethersfield, Conn., but probably not early enough to serve in the Pequot "Viar of 1637, a service with which he has often been credited. He served on a jury in June 1644, and was one of those from whom Robert Beclle stole, for which the latter was tried in Dec. 1644, and he was called of Saybrook on 20 Mar. 1649/50. [Conn. Col. Records, 1-106, 115, 206.] It is not certain when he settled in Saybrook, but Mr. de Forest suggests 1645, and makes out a good case for supposing that he was the companion of Thomas Leffingwell when he set out from Saybrook in May or June 1645 with a boat load of provisions for the Mohegan Sachem, Uncas. The grant of 400 acres by the General Court, in Oct. 1667, would then be interpreted as in recognition of this service rather than for participation in the Pequot War. The General Court, on 23 Feb. 1652/3, appointed Tracy to assist Capt. John Mason in charge of the fort at Saybrook. It may have been this service under Mason which caused him to be called Ensign in records of 1663 and 1664. He became an original proprietor of Norwich, Conn., in 1660, and was appointed Ensign of the Norwich Train Band, Oct. 1666. He was appointed Lieutenant of the New London Troop, Aug. 1673; Muster Master of New London County, Nov. 1673; and served as Quartermaster in 1675 and 1676 during King Philip's War.

In 1653 a letter from his brother-in-law, John Cogswell, Jr., then in London, states that Waldo's mother then lived in Berwick, that his uncle John was dead, his brother Thomas was living in Ireland, and his Uncle Barrow was dead. His wife came to New England in 1635 with her parents in the Angel Gabriel. "John Coggeswell Senior" conveyed 2 Jan. 1650/1 to "my sonne in law Cornelius Wal doe," a dwelling house at Chebacco Falls.

On the Elizabeth in April 1635 sailed "James Walker 15 yers & Sarra Walker 17 yers: Serut's to Jon Browne a Baker & to on wm Brasey linen drap in Cheapside Land p Cert. of their Conformity." On the same ship we find "Jo : Browne 40" and also Richard Walker ( 24) and William Walker (15), who may have been cousins but probably not brothers of the other two Walkers. The mother of James and Sarah soon followed them, and was one of the first purchasers and proprietors of the town of Rehoboth, as well as one of the company who first settled there. The name of Widow Walker is in the list of those who in 1643 gave in the value of their estates for a pro rata distribution of lands; her estate was valued at .£50. The division was made the following year, and her name appears as late as 18 Feb. 1646/7, but thereafter disappears. In the 1643 list, James Walker's estate (also :£50) was entered next to that of Widow Walker, but he forfeited his allotment, as did also Mr. John Browne. They had settled in Taunton, and evidently preferred to remain there. Philip Walker, afterward Deacon, in the descrip tion of his lands in the Proprietors' Records at Rehoboth, speaks of a .£50 right "that was my mother's," and when Philip died in 1679, James Walker, although living in Taunton, was an appraiser of his estate. Mr. John Browne, evidently brother of the \Vidow Walker, was a man of prominence. He settled in Duxbury by 1636, and in Taunton in 1643. He was an Assistant of Plymouth Colony for seventeen years from 1636, and a Commissioner of the United Colonies for twelve years from 1644, and died at Swansea, Mass., 10 Apr. 1662. On 23 Nov. 1655, he gave to "his cousin John Tisdill" a dwelling house he had bought, "and house he lived in at Taunton, to John Tisdill and his cousin James Walker, John Tisdill's brother in--law." James Walker and his sister Sarah came over as "servants" of John Browne, and Walker settled with him in Taunton. The wife of James Walker was Elizabeth Phillips, so his relationship to Tisdale did not come through her. It is evident that Browne was uncle of the two "servants" who crossed with him, that they followed his fortunes to Taunton, and that Sarah Walker, sister of James, became the wife of John Tisdale, and named her I son James Tisdale after him. John Browne's son, James Browne of Swansea, was guardian of John Tisdale's youngest SARAH2 \i\T ALKER, born in England (perhaps London), about 1618, died at WARHAM FAMILY 341 Taunton, Mass., in Dec. 1676; married JoHN 1 TISDALE, born 111 England, , killed by the Indians at Taunton, Mass., 27 June 1675.

He came, it is said, from a good family of Dorset or Devon. He was a graduate of St. Mary Hall, Oxford University, B.A., 14 Nov. 1614, and M.A., 18 May 1618. On 23 May 1619 he was ordained at Silverton, co. Devon, by the Bishop of Exeter. He became minister of Crewkerne, Somer set, but because of his Puritanism was forced to resign by Laud, who was then Bishop of Bath and Wells. He obtained a living at St. Sidwell's by Exeter. In 1630 he came to New England in the Mary and John as one of the party which founded Dorchester, Mass., and he served there as minister for six years. In 1636 he moved with a large group of the Dorchester people to the Connecticut River, where they founded the town of Windsor. Here he served as minister for thirty-four years until his death. Cotton Mather called him an energetic minister and a vigorous preacher, but refers to his melancholy temperament. Mr. Bartlett in "The Newberry Genealogy" suggested that Jane, second wife of Thomas Newberry, and afterward second wife of Rev. John Warham, was Jane Dabinott, daughter of John and Johane Dabinott of Chardstock, co. Devon, a cousin of Mr. N ewberry's first wife; while possible, this theory is · not proved. She died in Norwalk at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Hannah (Newberry) Hanford. She was mother of the three surviving children of Mr. Warham. The Medical Journal of the younger John Winthrop (p. 875) mentions Mr. John Warham as aged about 76 in 1668. The Hartford Court rejected Mr. Warham's will and ordered that after Mrs. Warham's death the estate should be equally divided between his three daughters, the wives of Thomas Allyn, of Return Strong, and of Mr. Stodder [Stoddard] of Northampton. His estate was appraised at £1239.10.00. Qualifying ancestor, Society of Colonial Dames of America. 342 THE GRANBERRY FAMILY AND ALLIED FAMILIES References A. C.

RoBERT 1 WATSON, born in Ireland, said to have died at Leicester, Mass.; married (it is said) at Londonderry, Ireland, in 1695, MARY ORR. The American founder of the Watson family is a shadowy figure. The biography of his son Matthew in Bicknell's "History of Barrington" states that Robert Watson came from Ireland to Boston in 1712 with his wife and six children; and removed to Leicester, Mass., where he was killed by the felling of a tree. The Providence Gazette, 29 Jan. 1803, reporting the death of Matthew Watson, stated that Matthew was born in the County of Colerain, Ulster, Ireland, March 1696; that he came to Boston in 1712, and settled in Leicester; that he had a brother, Deacon Oliver, aged 102 in 1803, and a sister, Mrs. Thomas, then aged 98 years, and that he had four brothers and two sisters. In Leicester, Mass., we find a Samuel 'vVatson who died 9 March 1776, aged 78, with a wife Margaret who died 6 Aug. 1780, aged 77, and children born from 1723 on. Born about 1698, Samuel could easily have been a brother of Matthew. Oliver Watson entered his marriage intention to Elizabeth Blair of Worcester, 4 Dec. 1742, and John Watson a year later entered his marriage intention to Mary Blair of Worcester, both at Leicester. Presumably Oliver and John were brothers who married sisters. They lived in or near the part of Leicester which was set off as the town of Spencer, where they have grave stones. "Deacon" Oliver ·watson died 20 Dec. 1804, aged 86; and John Watson "of Leicester" died 9 Nov. 1795, aged 78. In addition, a Patrick Watson died 31 Mar. 1754, aged 48, and has a stone in Spencer. These may be the four brothers of Matthew, and the sons of Robert, in order of age, may be_ tentatively identified as: Matthew, b. Mar. 1696. Samuel, b. abt. 1698. Patrick, b. abt. 1706. John, b. abt. 1717. Oliver, :b. abt. 1718. This is a span of twenty-two years ,between the elddt and the youngest, and constitutes a normal family group. However, the age of Oliver was grossly exaggerated in the newspaper account. Since both the newspaper and his gravestone refer to him as "Deacon," and since no other Oliver of older or comparable age is found in Leicester records, there seems to be no reason to doubt his identity, despite the wide discrepancy in stating his age. Robert and Mehitabel Watson owned the Covenant at the church in Bar rington, R. I. (then Mass.), 28 Sept. 1729, and except for the unverified statement of Robert's death in Leicester, these might be guessed to be Matthew's father and step-mother. The Journal of the American-Irish His torical Society, in an interesting article concerning Matthew Watson, states that Arnold's "Vital Record of Rhode Island," under Barrington, gives the WATSON FAMILY 345 marriage of Robert Watson and Mary Orr at Londonderry, Ireland, in 1695, presumcl!bly entered in the town records at the request of Matthew Watson or a member of his family. This may well be, but actually the entry is in the 4 3 Providence records. Apparently Matthew Watson (John , Matthew, 1 Robert ) had an account of the whole family spread on the Providence records, beginning with Robert1 Watson and Mary Orr. The dates are not all entirely accurate, but presumably the names may be accepted as correct. This record, doubtless from family sources, lists the children of Robert and Mary as: Samuel, Matthew, John, Oliver, and Elizabeth. Probably it is not a complete list, but it confirms in part conclusions which the present compiler tentatively reached before seeing this record. It seems quite possible that Mary died in this country, and that Mehitabel was a second wife and mother of John and Oiiver. References J. N.

According to the "History of Barrington," he was the second of the seven children of Robert Watson, and came in 1712 with his parents to Boston. The family settled in Leicester, Mass., and after his father's death Matthew left home and lived with a family near Boston. There he learned arithmetic and other subjects. He came to Barrington in 1718 and made brick on the farm of Mr. John Read. He amassed a fortune of over $80,000, a very large competence in those days, by the manufacture of brick, and built a brick mansion for himself, the first in the town. His wealth and hospitality were alike proverbial, and his integrity he held fast throughout life. The newspaper account quoted below varies as to some of the details., Matthew Watson was chosen Constable of Barrington, 1737; on 16 Apr. 1739, he was joined to Mr. John Read as a committee to represent the town at the General Court to prefer a petition. He was surveyor of highways, 1743, and on the Town Council, 1747. In 1764 he was the heaviest taxpayer in the town, and in 1793 the second heaviest. In the 1774 Census, his family consisted of two males over 16, four females over 16, one female under 16, and four blacks; Matthew, Jr., was separately listed with a family of one male and one female over 16, two males and one female under 16, and one Indian. He was appointed Justice of the Peace for Warren, June 1762; Justice of the Superior Court of Judicature for Bristol County, June 1765; and Justice 346 THE GRANBERRY FAMILY AND ALLIED FAMILIES of the Inferior Court of Common Pleas, May 1766.

[The Waterman Family, 1-536.] Another son of Matthew, Jr., was Rev. Samuel VVatson, A.M. (1773-1816), who for over seventeen years was Pastor of the Church of Christ in Barrington. An article appeared in the Providence Gazette, 7 Mar. 1801, which told of Matthew Watson then living in his 105th year, and stated that he had been Justice of the Peace and Justice of the Court of Common Pleas for Bristol County. The same newspaper, reporting the death of Matthew Watson, Esq., in its issue of 29 Jan. 1803, states that he "was born in County of Colerain, Ulster, Ireland, March 1696, from whence his parents, with his four brothers and two sisters, migrated, arriving in Boston in 1712; settled at Leicester, Mass., where he now has a brother, Deacon Oliver, aged 102 years, and a sister, Mrs. Thomas, aged 98 years. Mr. Watson came to Warren in 1722. He has had a numerous family; of his 15 children, 9 survive him; has been a member of the Congregational Church between 70 and 80 years, and has lived in three centuries."

Eleazer2 and Esther (Warham) Mather; married second (recorded at Deerfield), 16 Sept. 170[9], Abigail (Allyn) Bissell, born at Windsor, Conn., 17 Oct. 1672, died at Deerfield, 21 June 1754, in 82d year, ,vidow of Benjamin Bissell. He was graduated from Harvard College in 1683; became the first minister of Deerfield, Mass., in the spring of 1686, and was ordained 17 Oct. 1688. At the time of the Indian attack on Deerfield the morning of 29 Feb. 1703/4, his family was captivated and some of its members killed. He was taken to Canada, and remained in Quebec until 25 Oct. 1706, when he started for Boston, arriving four weeks later. His own account was written in "Redeemed Captive returning to Zion." Later, in 1709, he served as Chap lain, and at the resettlement of Deerfield resumed his ministry there. His own account of the Indian attack of 1704 is stirring. "I leapt out of bed, and running toward the door, perceived the Enemy making their entrance into the House: I called to waken two Souldiers, in the Chamber; and returned to my bed-side, for my Arms: the Enemy immediately brake into the Room, I judge to the number of Twenty, with Painted Faces, and hideous Acclama tions." His pistol missed fire, and "I was seized by Three Indians, who disarmed me, and bound me Naked, as I was in my shirt, and so I stood for near the space of an hour: binding me, they told me they would carry me to Quebec." Afterward, the members of the family, except two children who had been killed, were allowed to dress, and the march started an hour after sunrise. "The iournev beinfr at least Three hundred Miles we were to Travel; WILLIAMS FAMILY 349 the Snow up to the Knees, and we never inur'd to such hardships and fatigues." His wife, in wading the Green River, "fell down, and was plunged over Head and Ears in the '0l ater," and "the cruel and bloodthirsty Salvage who took her, slew her with his Hatchet, at one stroak." Her body was brought back and buried by neighbors. Gravestones at Deerfield read : "Here lyeth the Body of / Mrs Eunice / \:Villiams the Vertuous / & desirable / Consort of the Revrd Mr John / \iVilliams, & Daughter to ye Revrd / Mr Eleazer & Mrs Esther Mather / of Northampton. She was Born / Augt 2. 1664. and fell :by the / rage of ye Barbarous Enemy / March 1. 1703/4. / Prov: 31. 28. Her children arise / up & Call her Bless'd." "Here lyes ye Body of the/ Revd Mr John Williams/ the Beloved & Faith full / Pastor of this place, Who / dyed on June ye 12 1729 / In the 65 th Year of hi,s age/ Rev 14 13 Write Blessed/ are ye Dead which die / in the Lord." Thomas Foxcroft's Sermon on John Williams ( 19 June 1729) states: "He was once and again call'd by Publick Authority, to serve as a Chaplain, in the Expedition against Port Royal; and in that design'd against Canada, under General Hill & Admiral Walker." He was appointed Chaplain, June 1709, for the Expedition to Canada.

(Chart I, Line 25) APPENDIX THE APPLETON ANCESTRY AND CONNECTIONS The Appletons trace to many manorial families of Suffolk, Essex and Kent. The direct male line runs back from Samuel Appleton for seven generations. I. John Appleton of Waldingfield Magna, co. Suffolk, d. 1414. II. John Appleton, living 1459. III. John Appleton, of Waklingfield Parva (Little Waldingfield), d. 9 Apr. 1481; m. Margaret Welling, d. 4 July 14-68, daughter of Richard Welling. IV.

Robert Appleton, of Little Waldingfield, b. abt. 1478, d. 27 Aug. 1526; m. Mary Mounteney, daughter of Thomas Mounteney of Yugmonteney, co. Essex. VI. William Appleton, of Little Waldingfield, is stated to have d. 24 Aug., 28 Henry VIII (1536), which is probably correct, althougih his will, proved 2 May 1539, is said to be dated 20 Sept. 1538; but the date of the will was more Ekely 1535, for it names his wife, Rose and daughter Frances but not the son Thomas, whose birth occurred about 1536. He m. Rose Sexton, daughter of Robert Sexton of Lavenham, co. Suffolk ( will dated 25 Feb. 1517, proved 20 Mar. 1517), by his wife Agnes Jermyn (will 20 July 1520, proved 23 Aug. 1520), sister of Sir Thomas Jermyn of Rµshbrook, and daughter of Thomas Jermyn ( will 1496). Rose Sexton married second, Robert Gurdon of Assington, Suffolk. VII. Thomas Appleton, of Little Waldingfield, b. a:bt. 1536 (aged 5, 33 Henry VIII); will 1 Mar. 1603, proved 16 May 1603; m. Mary Isaacke (wiH 18 Feb. 1612/13, proved 11 June 1613), daughter of Edward Isaacke of Well Court, Patricksburne, Kent ( will 29 Apr. 1572), iby his second wife, Margery Wheathill, daughter of Sir Richard Wheathill or Wh'rthill who was knighted in 1513. VIII. Samuel Appleton, baptized at Little Waldingfield, 13 Aug. 1586; founder of the American family. The ancestry of Judith Everard, wife of Samuel Appleton the emigrant, wa:s traced by J. Gardner Bartlett through seven generations to William Everard of 1'v'Iashibury, co. Essex, about 1400. She was daughter of John Everard, citizen and goldsmith of London ( will dated 30 Apr. 1598, proved 17 May 1598), by his wife Judith Bourne. John Everard was son of Thomas Everard, born about 1520, probably at Mashbury, Essex, died at London (will 10 July 1551, proved 4 Mar. 1551/2), by his wife Margaret Wiseman. She was daughter of John \,Viseman, who acquired great wealth as auditor 352 THE GRANBERRY FAMILY AND ALLIED FAMILIES of the exchequer to Henry VIII and in 1548 purchased the Manor of Great Canfield, co. Essex, by his wi fo Agnes Josselin, daughter of Ralph and Eliza beth (Comish) Josselin, and great-grandniece of Sir Ralph Josselin, Lord Mayor of London in 1464-5. The Appletons were related to the Saltonstalls and the Pelhams, t,vo of the leading families in the settlement of New England.

THE ABELL ROY AL LINE The Abell Family in Anierica (1940), page 38, contains a line of descent for Robert Abell, the New England· colonist, from King Edward I. It is invalidated by a fatal flaw, in that the line runs through John de Charlton, Baron Powys, by his alleged wife Joan de Stafford, a great-great-grand daughter of Edward I. Unfortunately, the actual wife of this Baron was Hawyse, sister and heir of Griffin ap Owen. No Plantagenet line has been found, except through a natural son of King John. Several lines from Charlemagne can be traced, of which the following is an example: I. Cha.rlernagne, Emperor of the West, b. 2 Apr. 747, d. 28 Jan. 814; m. 771, Hilde- gard, b. 758, d. 30 Apr. 783.
