IV 57 vi FOREWORD When Marian Douglas Kilpatrick was ··gathered to her fathers,·· October 11, 1928, she left copious gene­ alogical notes, but had not woven them into a book, as was her plan. Her researches were far flung, even across the sea. In this great work she had the hearty backing of her devoted husband, Robert Jackson ·Kil­ patrick. Friends have tried to gather up the threads where Mrs. Kilpatrick dropped them, and to go on with the weaving; but the pattern went with the beautiful mind that conceived it. Among these friends, special credit is due Mrs. Alice I. Ozmun, of Lead, South Dakota. If errors are found in this book, the Reader is asked to recall how hard it is to assemble the notes of another, to discard the doubtful, and to make a book out of the parts that will prove of greatest value to the ··children's children" through the ages to come. Mrs. Kilpatrick was an earnest and painstaking student of family his­ tory, an_d it may be that some of the data herein were still under study. The plan of the book is simple. Ancestry is traced on a series of Charts at the end of the volume. These show lines of descent. Then the Families on the Charts are described at length in short chapters. Mrs. Kilpatrick's notes on Coat Armor were very full, as were also her notes on the origin offamily names; but she alone knew which of the notes were to be used in her book. She had roamed far and wide in the field of genealogy, plucking the flowers that might form the bouquet of Family History, but the bouquet had not been arranged. She was the botanist; her friends have simply tried to group the flowers she gathered, and to preserve them. And we place them

Vll THE KILPATRICK FAMILY lovingly, tenderly, upon the little mound of memory, beneath which sleeps one of the rarest Souls that God ever made. Marian Douglas Jones, as she was known in girl­ hood, was my own .. cousin,, by(descent from the Barnard, Bowers, Gray, Knowles, Ring, and other families, and I am proud to write this ··Foreword" as a token of my affection for her. It is to be regretted that her manuscripts are not now available, to verify dates and names, and to cite authorities for the data herein, which follow the copy exactly. But the story of this noble woman would not be complete with9ut telling about the young man who came into her life; yet it is onl~r after strong urging that he will let me give this simple sketch .. In the winter of 1818, a baby was born that was des­ tined to become the father of a group of sturdy lads who were to play a large part in the· building of the West. The father was Samuel Kilpatrick; the mother, born eight years later, was Rachel Thompson. They were of the pioneer class that built cabins on the frontier of civilization in the New World. When Samuel trekked, in 1857, with his wife from Missouri to Iowa, they had with them the four lads of the story. Less than two years later they moved into Nebraska, where Samuel and a friend took up the first two homesteads about ten miles west of the present city of Beatrice. Here they tilled the soil and raised cattle, ··when the Sioux and Cheyenne Indians would let them.,, The buffalo, elk, deer and wild turkey were plentiful at that time, and the father's rifle provided meat for the household. Other supplies were hauled seventy-five miles from a landing on the Missouri River. In the fall of 1864, the Indians grew very troublesome. The eldest boy, John David (always known as David), joined the

Vlll FOREWORD militia sent against them. The friendly Otoes went with the white men. On the way west they camped near the Kilpatrick farm. At that time, two of the other lads, Davenport and Robert Kilpatrick, were about five and eight years old. They were sent out to dig potatoes, just before the troops came. The boys had been working but a short time when, looking up, they saw the hills north and east of them S\varming with redskins in full war paint. Close by was a field of tall corn. Into it the boys dove, and ran for the ··worm fence" on the east side, where the blue­ stem grass was thick and high. Here they hid for five hours, while their folks were searching high and low for them. At last old ··Buff,·' the pet dog, found them and set up a loud barking. The boys were ··rescued '· and taken home. They did not feel much like heroes, as they had simply been waiting for hours to have their scalps lifted. Yet the little chaps had planned that as soon as they saw their home in flames, showing that those in it had been ki-lled, they would set out in the darkness to a farm fourteen miles away, where their father was helping a .. neigh­ bor" thresh grain. The next twelve years Robert spent doing all kinds of work on the farm. Even when but thirteen years of age he proudly took his place with the other "men" and was able to do a full share in binding the grain cut with the McCormick reaper. David had already gone out into the world, and ·had begun work in railroad grading-a work that later was to make him and his brothers so well known in railroad annals. But in 1875, David, with associates, built the Tremont Hotel in Galveston, Texas; and this very year the family was thrown into grief by the loss of the father. Two of the younger brothers, Davenport and Joseph, stayed on the farm with the mother; Henry married and went onto a farm of his own; Robert went to Texas to join David in building the hotel. Now began a friendship that meant much to young Robert. It was with Major John F. Eliot, a fine type of Southern gentleman. His kindly advice and counsel sank deep into the life of Robert, just then at the thresh- ix THE KILPATRICK FAMILY old of manhood. After the death of the Major, his son John Stewart Eliot became a member of Robert's home, living with him as a devoted son till he grew up and was married. David's health now began to fail, and he went north. After trying various kinds of work, Robert joined bis brother William, who had brought a small grading outfit overland from Nebraska, driving all the way, and the brothers went to work at railroad grading in Texas. Then in the summer of 1881, they shifted the plant back to Nebraska, where E. P. Reynolds & Co. and their brother David were grading the Burlingtori

line to Denver. Here a fourth brother, Davenport1 joined them, and from this time on, for many year~ the four brothers worked as one. Of course every normal youth feels the urge to be come a home-maker, and in due course our young me took to themselves life-comrades, as shown in the cha ter on the Kilpatrick Family. We mention one here because she is the subject of this book. In 1881, thre days after Christmas, Robert married Marian Dougla Jones. Robert always speaks of his marriage as the wises act of his life. The young bride surely deserves muc credit for his success. For many years their home wa in the railroad camps, in the sage brush, among th Rocky Mountains, or in the vast lava beds of ldaho 1 wherever the grading contracts of the firm led them! And to the day of her passing, Marian was the sam~ sweet, patient, helpful comrade that went to the altai long ago, in 1881. Her death, in 1928, was ''like the passing of exquisite music." The music went out of Robert's life, but not the courage to battle on for thJ loved ones left behind. When we marvel at the skill that unites East and

X FOREWORD West with bands of steel, we are apt not to think of the hardy men who made it possible for long trains to speed safely through the night and the storm. And how? By grading the roadbeds without flaws across marshes, over wide plains, into long cuts, and through rocky tunnels~ But such was. the work of the Kilpat­ rick brothers. We need not go into details. The story of their huge task is written in the railroads themselves. One chap­ ter is along the Oregon Short Line crossing the vast lava beds, where in places all water for men and beasts in the great grading outfit had to be hauled fifteen miles, while most of the explosives used in blasting through the lava was hauled from Kelton, Nevada, from one hundred and fifty to one hundred and eighty miles away. And the hauling was by slow ox-teams and mules. One piece of work ended, the outfit is moved, now to a road climbing the Rockies, now to the region of the ugreat pipestone quarries," famous in Hiawatha, to grade for what is now the Rock Island Route from Minnesota into South Dakota. In the winter of 1885, the teams go into the ·forests of Wisconsin, to haul out millions of feet of logs over the snow, to the Wolf River. The next spring finds the grading outfit building the roadbed for new sections of the Burlington ·Route in Illinois, Wisconsin, Kansas, and Wyoming. And so the work goes on for many years, up and down the West Coast, over the Rockies, across the vast plains, and even into Maryland. Nor is this the only work of the brothers. For twenty years they operate the Cambria Coal Mines, bringing out about nine million tons of coal, while at the same time grading still more roadbeds. The records of the entire business were always kept

Xl THE KILPATRICK FAMILY in shape and up-to-date. This is shown by the fact that when Mr. C. W. Collins, who had long been~ partner with the brothers, wished to retire from the strenuous work, it took only one hour for him and the1 brothers to agree on the value of ithe va~t business andi equipment. Up to the time of the death of Mr. Col­ lins, he and the brothers were warm friends, though but three were now left, David having died in July,: 1891. i It is interesting for the three brothers to look back to the days when they were playing such a large pa;· in ··empire building,'' and recall the men* they the'. knew-men whose names are written in letters of ste~ from one shore of the country to the other+-men w ; founded empires in the great West and Northwest. 1l what extent the four ''boys'' of Samuel and Rach Kilpatrick played a part in this work is shown by tH fact that their companies graded beds for over foq thousand five hundred miles of railroad. Think it ove 1 you millions of men and women who sleep peacefuU while the trains whirl you over the roadbeds grad~ by the Kilpatrick brothers-roadbeds that wou~ reach from the Pacific to the Atlantic and halfwa back again ! I Yet th~se . 'boys,'' now resting from their giant labd are just the same good-natured, wholesome, generou:· hearted, conscientious ·'boys'' as left the old farm ne: Beatrice, Nebraska, to hew their way in the wort: • ! *Among these ''empire builders'' were: Jay Gould, Sidney~­ lon, Charles Francis Adams, George W. Holdrege, Thomas. Kimball, S. H. H. Clark, Thomas Potter, Elijah Smith, W .. Holcomb, Horace G. Burt, E. H. Harriman, A. L. Mohler, Juli· Kruttschnitt, R. S. Lovell, Charles E. Perkins, George B. Hard Hale Holden, Marvin Hewitt, E. P. Ripley, and a host of othet This very list shows the wide range of the grading work of th Kilpatrick brothers. .. Xll FOREWORD They have · 'hewn to the line,·· and kept their lives pure and above reproach. And now, save for the grief over the loved one who was called home last October, they are happy in the midst of fine families they have found time to rear. To the dear old Moth~r on the Nebraska farm, it must have been a source of constant delight to know of the masterful work of her sons, ere the Reaper came to her after her eighty-second year had passed. ··well done, thou good and faithful servant.·· ALEXIS EVERETT FRYE.

COAT ARMOR MY CoAT OF ARMs By Elizabeth D. Preston There hangs upon my wall an old design That once was known to pennon and to shields; And many a valiant heart on hard-fought fields Beheld, and brought new courage to the line; From Scottish hills to torrid Palestine · It stood for honor such as never yields Unto the bloody sword oppression wields­ This badge of my forefathers· pledge and mine. No longer need it flash among the crowd I ts glowing red and bands of burnished gold; The day& are gone when stalwart vassals bowed, And lips that cried allegiance have grown cold, Save mine. But I remember, and am proud To keep faith with the flaming faith of old. The subject of coat armor> or coats of arms, is fully treated under the caption of .. heraldry" in any good encyclopaedia, but it is too complicated even to sum­ marize in this small book. The early settlers of New England were forced to think more of the plain arms xiii THE KILPATRICK FAMILY known as .. flintlocks,., emblazoned with flint in the hammer, powder in the pan, and a clear eye and steady hand for the ··crest,·· than of heraldic devises, charges, tinctures, cadency, and the like. · Some American families are able to trace descent from British houses that us~d coats of arms, but unleS$ clear offshoot is known, care must be taken in the ust: of armorial bearings. For example, the Douglas coat of arms is given a: .. Argent a man's heart Gules ensigned with an imperi i

In plain English this means: ··upon a field of silve .

a man's heart, red, beneath an imperial crown in i 1

proper colors; above the dividing line, upon a blu 1 ground, three silver stars.'' . This coat armor is common to the Douglas cians1;· but each branch of the race has adopted its own cres. and motto. It is not known to which of the clans o

branches of the family the pioneer Douglasses i 1 America belong. How, then, can· the descendants 1 these colonial ancestors assume heraldic shields wit crests, mottoes, and other fil~gree? What applies t: the Douglas family also applies to most of the othe families. We may illustrate the chance of error in anothe~ way. Long ago it was a custom to give religious play'. in the shire towns of England, to avert plagues. Eac 1 town giving a '"passion play" had local actors takin the part of king, queen, prince, bishop, etc. Thes' names often became attached to the actors, as familj names. Many persons bearing these names came td, America, from every point of the c0mpass in the Brit1 ish Isles. Is it safe to use a coat of arms merely because one of the many unrelated families of King, Prince, Bishop, etc., used it across the sea?

XlV FOREWORD

It is not the thought here to discredit any armorial bearings, but merely to explain to the Reader why coats of arms are not assigned to more of the families in this book. They have been given only where there seems to be strong evidence that the American fami­ lies are direct descendants of known ancestors using them in the British Isles. Further study might reveal others not here given; and it must not be overlooked that full proof of right of use, even of some fatnilies listed herein, is not yet at hand. If Tennyson had lived in the time of the Pilgrim and the Puritan, perhaps our ancestors might have emblaz­ oned his words upon their shields : ·'Howe· er it be, it seems to me 'Tis only noble to be good; Kind hearts are more than coronets, And simple faith than Norman blood." The above text is not taken from the notes of Marian Douglas Kilpatrick, but it is thought to embody the views of this worthy descendant of Elder Brewster of the Mayflower. -A. E. F.

THE KILPATRICK FAMILY THE JONES FAMILY There are in this Genealogy two lines of the name of Jones, both from the British Isles, and both headed in America by a Lewis Jones. See Charts I I and V. The name Jones is doubtless the possessive form of the popular Bible name John, as John's son, cognate with Johnson. It is thought that both of our Jones families were originally from Wales. We know that Lewis Jones, of this chapter, was born in Wales; but he may have moved there from England. The origin is lost in the mist of time. This Lewis Jones came to New England before the other. He was born in Brailes, a town in Wales, but his baptism, and three generations before him, are re­ corded just across the channel from Wales, in Bristol, England~ The Parish Register of the Church of St. Mary Radcliffe, of Bristol, contains these records: William, son of Thomas Jones, bap. July 29, 1692. William Jones m. Ann Cambourne, August 11, 1715. William Jones, son of William, bap. October 28, 1722. William Jones, m. Jane Lee, February 25, 1744. J arnes Jones, son of William and Jane, bap. December 11, 1752 James Jones m. Hester Morgan, March 28, 1780. LEWIS JONES, son of James and Hester, bap. September 19, 1783. A copy of the baptismal certificate of Lewis Jones is in the possession of Samuel Bridge Dean, of Boston. 1 THE KILPATRICK FAMILY

He is a grandson of Lewis Jones. The fallowing letter (extracts only being here printed) was written by him to Marian Douglas Kilpatrick: "Lewis Jones was born in Brailes, Wales; his baptism is reg­ istered in the Church of St. Mary Radcliffe, Bristol, England, of which Queen Elizabeth said 'no more beautiful church existed in England.· It is the church identified with the poet Chatterton. · "Lewis Jones, like his ancestors, followed the sea, and became master of ships. He sailed three times round the world. The date of his first visit to this country is problematical, but I have in my possession two of his sea-chests, which up to a few years ago were kept in the attic of our Winthrop Street (Boston) house . .. In restoring the larger chest I came across a secret drawer which contained a snuff box of enameled tin, on the Hd of which was painted the names of 'Nelson' and 'Trafalgar.' )Within the box was a poem cut from the Boston Daily Advertiser, 'My love, a rose and a lock of hair.· There was also in the box a faded rose, a lock of hair, and a hair ring. My idea is that Lewis had met Elizabeth Dickson during one of his first voyages, and had ob­ tained these mementoes from her. I have in my possession a beautiful fan of carved ivory and some porcelain which he brought from China, as a wedding gift to Elizabeth. "The Dicksons are an English family. William Dickson, the founder in this country, built a house in Cambridge, in which he lived and died. One of his children moved to Medford and settled. Elizabeth was born in the Medford house; there she spent her childhood, and there she was married. "After the marriage, Lewis Jones and his wife went to Boston,. where they bought a house on Prince Street. Here most of their children were born. The issue of this marriage were: Margaret, who died in childhood; Elizabeth Dickson; Louisa; Susan; Rebecca; Adelaide Augusta; Sarah Menzies; Joshua Lewis; and James Lewis. ''Adelaide Augusta Jones, my mother, married Samuel Bridge Dean; Sarah Menzies Jones married John Deane, no relation to Samuel; Louisa Jones married Robert Ells; and James Lewis Jones married Ester Emerson. Joshua Jones, the youngest, was engaged to a Miss Swallow, but both died two weeks before the day set for the wedding. Rebecca did not marry. · 'When the children were still very young Lewis moved to a larger house on Hanover Street, better suited to a growing family, and for the purpose of entertaining. He was interested in music 2 THE JONES FAMILY and literature, and with Dr. Phineas Stowe founded the Boston Seaman· s Bethel. Lewis also entertained at his home once a month, on Sunday evenings, inviting such seamen as were in port at the time. On these occasions the daughters furnished music and served refreshments. "Soon after Lewis settled in this country he gave up his mas­ ter's berth, and became a merchant. With Cyrus Carpenter he established a business of selling cooking ranges. He followed this line of work till his death. About 1840 he moved to Roxbury. Ten years later he built the house on Winthrop Street, where he lived until his passing in 1860. His wife survived him only a year.·· (Letter dated March 4, 1921.) Lewis Jones arrived in Boston for the first time, as far as we know, May 17, 1804. Though he was then a ship master, he lacked several months of being twenty­ one years old. Before he married the lass of his choice, Elizabeth Dickson, October 17, 1810, he made other trips to this country. Mr. Jones was a ''pillar of the church,·· being deacon in the Old Baldwin Street Church in Boston, for thirty years, and later in the Dudley Street Church of Rox:­ bury, now part of Boston. Only one son lived to matu­ rity. After the death of his son Joshua he bought a tomb in the crypt of Park Street Church; but when Mt. Auburn Cemetery was founded, he removed his son there. Lewis Jones died in Roxbury, January 6, 1860. His wife died Noyember 11 of the same year. Shortly before his death he wrote on a slip of paper,'' 1783-1860, my age.'' Just before he died he was heard to mut­ ter, · ·Near to port,'' as if still answering the call of the sea. We have given many facts about Lewis; let us see what the Boston papers said of Elizabeth, when she died: "Death of Mrs. Lewis Jones. Among the victims of death the last month was Mrs. Elizabeth Jones, wife of Deacon Jones. Her 3 THE KILPATRICK FAMILY age was seventy-two years, forty-five of which she passed in faith­ ful union with the people of God .. .. As a deacon's wife she met the inspired requisition, 'grave, not a slanderer, sober, faithful in all things.· In her character, by the grace of God, was a happy blending of the qualities which make up 'The excellent woman·, 'whose price is above rubies.' .. PROVERBS XXXI. Abstract of the Will of Lewis Jones, of Roxbury, Mass., dated January 24, 1853: ··I, Lewis Jones . . . do make and publish and declare this to be my last will and testament;·· ··I appoint Deacon Moses Pond of Boston, and my son James L. Jones, of Chelsea, in the county of Suffolk, Executors and Trustees of this my will;·· ··I give to each of my children;" .. to each of my two sii5ters, Wine­ fred Pickering of Brailes and Ann Hudson of London, Eng.; .. ··to my Executors all the residue in trust to pay over the net in­ come of same to my dear wife Elizabeth for life, to enable her to maintain herself and such of her children as she may think require support, particularly my invalid daughter Susan;" ··upon the decease of my said wife all the net income shall be equally divided between my said daughter Susan and my daughter Elizabeth;·· ··I commend to my dear children their Aunt Rebecca Dickson, should she ever require assistance.·· James Lewis Jones (see Chart I), son of Lewis and Elizabeth (Dickson) Jones, was born October 31, 1816, in Boston; died November 5, 1886-, in New York City. He married,· November 29, 1838, in Boston, Esther, daughter of Parker and Ann (Jones) Emerson.

THE DICKSON FAMILY William Dickson of Cambridge, Mass., is thought to be the · 'William Dickson, aged 18, · · who came from London in June, 1635, in the ship Thomas. His age: agrees with the above William's age. He was a man of high sense of honor, and a large land owner. In 1642 he owned an estate fronting on Brattle Square, Cambridge. He was a freeman in 1642, and a member of the First Church. In 1652 he owned 80 acres in Shawshine, an old part of Cambridge. In 1664 his signature appears with others on a petition to the General Court. In 1668-69 he was appointed by the church to ··catechise the youth of Cambridge.'' The name of William Dickson's wife is not known, and there is no record of his children by which to judge his marriage date. Her first name was Jane, and some­ body has given the opinion that she was a daughter of 6 THE DICKSON FAMILY

Widow Wilkinson of the Winship records (below), but she was not. By her gravestone she was born 1616. She died February 4, 1683. William Dickson died August 5, 1692, aged seventy­ eight years ( 1614-1692). His tombstone is a fine one for its time, with wings. It is in the Garden Street Cem­ etery, Cambridge, is much admired, and often photo­ graphed. How many children they had is not recorded. A few separate entries are found: Mary, daughter of William and Jane Dickson, b. July 21, 1648. John, son of same, b. March 21, 1655/6. Same as John, second name below.

She was born Nov~mber 28, 1726, at Medford, and was burned to death May 19, 1771. He too "died suddenly." They had: Anna. Isaac, b. March 21, 1758. _ Jonas, bap. September 2, 1755. All in Medford. Jonas, son of Josiah and Anna (Francis) Dickson, died October 23, 1821, and was buried in Salem Street Cemetery, Medford. He was a ship carpenter. In early life he resided in Chelsea, and from that town he re­ s ponded to the-Alarm of April 19, 1775, in Capt. Samuel Sprague's Co., service 24 days. May 12, 1775, he enlisted in Col. Gerrish· s (afterwards Baldwin· s), Regiment, which Regiment took part in the Battle of Bunker Hill and the siege of Boston. He continued in service in Col. Francis' Regiment of Medford, and later in Col. Benjamin Tupper·s Regiment. He was discharged February 17, 1780, and received a pension (No. 8980). Jonas became an invalid, and his son-in-law, Lewis Jones, was named his guardian. He married MaytZ7, 1783, Elizabeth, daughter of William and Martha (Flynn) Gill. Both Jonas and his wife are buried in 8 THE WINSHIP FAMILY the Salem Street Cemetery, Medford. Their tomb­ stone reads : In Memory of Mr. Jonas Dickson Also Elizabeth, his who died widow Oct. 23, 1821, died July 3d, 1828, aet. 67 aet. 76. His pension was signed by John C. Calhoun, Sec­ retary of War. The Revolutionary War record is found in ''Massachusetts Soldiers and Sailors of the Revolutionary War," and is accepted by the D. A. R. and Sons of the Revolution. Elizabeth, daughter of Jonas and Martha, was born March 1, 1788, at Medford; died November 11, 1860, at Boston; married October 17, 1810, Lewis Jones (Chart I). She is buried in Mt. Auburn Cemetery. THE WINSHIP FAMILY Edward Winship was born at Newcastle-upon-Tyne, England, March 13, 1612, died December 2, 1688. He sailed from Harwich, England, in the Defence Aug­ ust 1634, and settled in Cambridge, Mass. He was made freeman March 4, 1635 ;wasselectman in 1637 and for many years thereafter, up to 1684. He was a member of the Ancient & Honorable Artil­ lery Company in 1638; Representative to General Court, 1663-64, 1681-1686. He was commissioned by the General Court May 26, 1647, Ensign, and be­ came Lieutenant of Militia in 1660. He was an active and honored member of the Cambridge Church. Edward was a large land holder, not only at Old Cambridge but also at the "farms" (Lexington). He ma~t;ied (1) Jane Wilkinson (which makes it certain that Jane, wife of Wm. Dickson was not this Jane) daughter of the widow Isabella Wilkinson, from New- 9 THE KILPATRICK FAMILY castle-on-Tyne, England, and a cousin of William and Richard Cutter. Probably they were married in England, and her mother accompanied them to Am­ erica. Jane died between 1648 and 1651. Widow Isabella owned certain lands in common with her son­ in-law, Edward Winship, in whose family she prob~ ably resided. He married (2) Elizabeth, daughter of Richard and Margery (Crane) Parke, who died September 19, 1690, aged 57. Children by first wife: Sarah, b. April 6, 1638, m. September 29, 1659, James Hubbard.

Will of Elizabeth (Parke) Winship, dated 1689, mentions daughters Elizabeth, Abigail, Margery and Mehitable. Margery married May 12, 1697. Through Edward Winship an accepted line in Colonial Dames.

THE PARKE FAMILY Richard Parke, a miller, born in England about 1602, sailed from London in the ship Defense August 10, 1635, bringing with him wife Margery and four children. His wife is said to have been Margery Crane. On the ship's list appear: Richard Park, age 3 3. Margery Park, age 40. Isabel Park, age 7. Elizabeth, Park, age 4, There were two other sons, Richard and Thomas, but their names do not appear on the passenger list. The family settled in Cambridge, of which he was one of the proprietors, in 1636. He was of Cambridge farms (Lexington) 1642, and in 1647 he crossed the Charles River into that part of town known as Cambridge Village, now Brighton and Newton, where he had a tract of land. His children were: Richard Parke, m. Mary. Thomas Park m. Abigail Dix of Watertown in 1653, and has five sons and four daughters. Elizabeth Park m. as second wife, Edward Winship. Isabel Park m. Francis Whitmore of W. Cambridge. 11 THE KILPATRICK FAMILY

In 1657 he was one of a committee to lay out and settle highways in Cambridge Village, and in 1663 he was released from training, perhaps past 60 years of age. There is no record of the death of Richard Park'~ first wife, Margery. After September 1, 1656, he married (2) Sarah, daughter of William and Jane Collier of Duxbury, widow of Love Brewster. She died April 26, 1691. He died sometime between the making of his wilt July 12, 1665, and its probate, October 19, of that year. All this property, exc~pt 600 acres and buildings; was equally divided betweeifhis two daughters. Th~r, teen years after his death, his son Thomas bought p· the widow her life interest in the estate. Her rel ea is dated September 26, 1678, in which she calls hers I .. of Duxbury, in the Colony of Plymouth, relict p Richard Parke, late of Cambridge Village:· Extract from will of Richard Park: ··Richard Parkes being weake of body but of sound und~ standing, doth dispose of his estate as followeth: My loving wi shall peacefully enjoy all my houses, barns, and lands," e Mentions son Thomas, and two daughters.

It is thought-probable that this Edward Par~ was ancestor of the first settlers of the name in Ne· England, viz. Dea. William of Roxbury, Thomas 1 Storington, Connecticut, Samuel of Medford, · Richard of Cambridge. The first three are known be brothers, by the will of Dea. William. 12 THE PRENTICE FAMILY

THE PRENTICE FAMILY This is one of those names that cannot be traced to any locality offamily group, and therefore which Pren­ tice coat of arms can be rightfully used is a mere guess. The name is a contraction of Apprentice, and probably applied many times to some apprentice to distinguish him from others of the same ··given,. name. There is no evidence to show relationship between any of the Prentice ancestors (newcomers) in America. Henry Prentice, planter, of Cambridge, Mass., prob­ ably a native of England, was in Cambridge before 1640. He was a member of the church in Cambridge which was founded in 1636, and the record of whose members was taken and registered in · · 11 th mo. 16 58. · · He was proprietor of lands in Sudbury, and was one of the proprietors to whom land was allotted in the second and third divisions in 1640. He was made a freeman of Cambridge May 22, 1650, and died June 9," 1654. Inventory of his estate, made October 6, 1663. Administra­ tion was granted to his late widow, who had then married her second husband, the latter was made joint administrator with her. She was decreed £20, and each child an equal share in the estate except the oldest, who according to the custom of the times received a double portion. Henry Prentice married ( 1) Elizabeth, who died May 13, 1643. He·married(2)Joane--. She married (2) July 24, 1662, Elder John Gibson, Sr., becoming his second wife when he was 65 years old. Children of Henry and Joane Prentice: Mary, SOLOMON, Abah, Samuel, Henry, and Sarah. All of these but Abah are named in a conveyance of real estate, Dec­ ember 3 1, 1713 . Solomon, second child and eldest son of Henry and Joane Prentice, was born in Cambridge 23-7-1646, and died July 24, 1719, aged 73 years. He is called 13 THE KILPATRICK FAMILY

'"husbandman and brick maker." In 1672 he bought a house and land on the westerly side of the Common, on which estate, near the close of his life he erected a new house, supposed to be the same ··not long ago" occupied by Misses Betsey and Persis Bates. Solomon left a large estate, and his inventory by his widow, Hepzibah, and his oldest son, Solomon, admin-i istrators, August 20, 1719, mentions rights in co111-mon~ housing, orchard, land in Westfield, in Miles Ware corner, and in Lexington. . Watertown, First Church records, by Rev. Samuel Langer, state : '"Solomon Prentice, Sr. and wife, members of the Church o( Cambridge, did partake of the Lord's supper, Aug. 22, 1697 ... He m.

Discussion as to the mother of Solomon, Jr., seems to be decided by papers of record in settling the estate of Hepzibah, which prove Thomas to be her son. She does not mention Solomon. 14 THE FRANCIS FAMILY

Solomon, Jr., son of Solomon and Elizabeth Pren­ tice, was born June 7, 1674. He died June 25, 1758, aged 84 years. He married, date not known, Lydia, who died April 25, 1758, aged 84 years. They resided on the estate of which the Botanic Gardens is a part, at the corner of Garden and Linnaean Streets. They had children: Samuel, bap. June 12, 1698, died young. RUTH, b. October 31, 1700.

THE FRANCIS FAMILY The first recorded resident of New England, of this name was Richard Francis, born in England in 1606, and who located first in Medford, afterwards in Dor­ chester, and settled in Cambridge in 1636, where he was made a freeman in 1640. Later he was in Wet­ herfield, where his death is recorded. This is one of the common English names taken from a Christian name. Richard Francis married in 1644, Alice Wilcox and had five children: Stephen, b. February 7, 1645. Sarah, b. December 4, 1646. John, b. January 4, 1650. A dau. b. 1651. Richard, prob. d. 1651.

Mr. Samuel Francis, son of John and Lydia (Cooper) Francis, born January 17, 1695 /6. Medford records say: ''Married, Samuel Francis and Mary Nurs of Reading, January 1, 1718, in Reading.·· .The same marriage is recorded in Reading. They had seven children; among them were Samuel, Jr., Lydia, Mary, Rebecca, and ANNA. The daughter of Rebecca recalls Rebecca Nourse, executed as a witch in Salem, of whom Mary Nurs is believed to be a descendant. Samuel Francis died September 29, 1775. His wife died April 21, 1774. Administration of his estate 16 THE COOPER FAMILY was granted December 1, 1778, to Aaron Blanchard, in which it appears that all his family but his daughters Lydia, Mary and Rebecca were dead. Anna, daughter of Samuel and Mary (Nourse) Francis, born November 28, 1726, married, June 16, 1748, JOSIAH DICKSON. She died before 1778, when her father· s will was administered.

One of the Angier sons also came to New England. THE GILL FAMILY The first of this name known in New England is William Gill of Malden, Mass. He was an Englishman by birth, but there seems no record of his arrival in America. He was probably the same Wm. Gill re­ ferred to in 1658: ''Malden, Wm. Gill, Sergt. Mch.­ Nov. 1758, with Capt. Eben Marrow.·· He would then have been around 34 years. Wm. Gill in list of those who were permanently permitted to carry bayonets in the enrolled militia, 1758. 19 THE KILPATRICK FAMILY

An inventory taken on a single rate made by asses­ sors upon inhabitants of Malden, 1739, shows name of Wm. Gill. He was in New England before 1748. William Gill's name appears on list of Minute Men of Malden, in 17 7 5 ; he was then 51-5 3 years old. Also in the roll of the Co. of Militia that went to Water­ town by order of the late Col. Gardner, upon the Alarm of the 19th day of April, and from there to resist the Ministerial troops, under command of Capt. Benjamin Blaney.

THE FLYNN FAMILY We find no record of the birth of Patrick Flynn, father of Martha Gill (above), nor of his parentage, nor when he came to America. 20 THE FLYNN FAMILY In the Town Books of Boston are the following en­ tries, all possibly referring to the same man: Patrick Fling and Susannah Perry, m.

Her gravestone in the ancient burying ground of Malden, has this inscription : Mary Flyn, wife of Patl\ick, died May 24, 1720, in her 27th year. Married, Patrick Flynn and Prudence Ward, by Mr. Thomas Cheever, Presbyterian, June 20, 1721. Their children's births are recorded: Mary, b. June 17, 1722. Martha, b. December 30, 1723. John, son, b. November 8, 1725. Nathan, son, b. September 15, 1727. Patrick Flynn was ferryman of Boston, the part then called Chelsea. · ·He was drowned in the month of January, and was this day (April 10, 1739) taken up in Mistick River ... No record appears of the death of his wife, Prudence, but there is a good reason to believe she died about the same time, though not drowned with him. Patrick's son Richard, a blacksmith of Malden, ad­ ministered his father's estate. Since he was evidently a man of mature years, he was probably the eldest son of Patrick and Mary, born as early as 1714, and so around 25 years of age. Or might he have been son of that still earlier marriage, and born 1710? In the administration record the father is called '' Patrick 21 THE KILPATRICK FAMILY Flynn, late of Chelsea . . . ferryman, deceased .., Letter of administration by Richard Flynn, his son, of Malden, Blacksmith, dated at Boston, the 15th day of May, A. D. 1739, sign~d, J. Willard. A younger son Joshua, a minor of about 18 years, and Martha, applied for guardians. There is no record of the others. Mary Flynn, sister, was also under age. The Mary Flynn who signed Martha's application may have been Richard's wife. Martha's application was well written. Joshua wrote with a boy's directness. The guardianship was accepted December 12, 1749.

THE WARD FAMILY. I This name is from Warder, or Warden, a caretaker. There are two of this name in our family, and no known connection between them. The first mention of William Ward in America is in 1639. In 1639 and 1640 the proprietors of Sudbury,. Mass., made three divisions of common lands, and records show that William Ward shared in each of these divisions. He then had a second wife,. and several children. No record of his parentage appears. William Ward, 1597-1687, in Sudbury 1639; free­ man 1643; Representative of Sudbury at General Court 1644; and for several years chairman of the selectmen, as he was in 1660, when he removed from that town. He with twelve others belonging to Sud­ bury, petitioned the General Court in 1656 for a new plantation of eight miles square, which was granted to the extent of six miles square, or other­ wise in some convenient form equivalent thereto in the place desired. The plantation was laid out, not six miles square, but for ··an equivalent thereto,·· it was, to say the least, ··a very liberal admeasurement, · · embracing a territory most of which is now comprised 22 THE WARD FAMILY in the towns of Marlborough, Northborough, and Southborough. The plantation was incorporated under the name of Marlborough, in 1660, and in that year William Ward removed there from Sudbury. William Ward was one of the first deacons elected to serve in the Marlborough meeting house; and Rep­ resentative to General Court, 1666. In common with others he endured great hardships and sustained great losses by Indian hostilities, especially in King Philip's War, 1675-6, when his buildings were burned, and one of his sons was slain by the enemy. William Ward died in Marlborough, August 10, 1687, and it is said he was about 90 years old, though there is no record of his age. His will dated April 6, 1686, mentions his ''loving wife, Elizabeth" whom he ap­ points his "sole administratrix"; gives liberally to her, and requests his sons, John and Increase Ward, and his son-in-law, Abraham Williams, to be helpful to his wife as occasion may require; gives "to all my own children, viz : all my sons and daughters, which I have by my former wife, and all I have surviving by my present wife.'' He also gave legacies to his grandchil- .dren and to their mothers, children and widows of his sons, Richard and Eleazer, deceased." He had four­ teen children, and as he gave to "all" his sons and daughters, by his first _wife, and to the surviving chil­ dren by his then wife, it is presumed all by his first wife were living when he made his will. This looks as if his son, Richard, who died in 1666, aged 31 years, was by the second wife, al though he says "sons and daughters'· by the first wife, and there are only two sons and one daughter, before Richard on the list of ichildren as given: John, b. about 1626, m. Hannah Jackson, 13 ch. Joanna, b. about 1628, m. Abraham Wiliiams. 23 THE KILPATRICK FAMILY

Daniel Rice.· Probably the early ones are not in their proper order. ''His widow, when past her 74th year, made several journeys to Boston,'' as appears from several Probate records there, before she effected the settlement of her estate with the exorbitant and tyrannical Andros, and the Judge of Probate, etc. She died at Marlborough where some years since her gravestone was still stand ing, on which was an inscription as follows: Here lies the body_ of Elizabeth Ward, the servant of the Lord-deceased in 87 year of her age, Dec. ye 9, in ye year of our Lord 1700. Obadiah Ward was a son of Wm. Ward and his firsl wife.

THE NURSE (OR NOURSE) FAMILY On July 19, 1692, in Salem, Mass., seven aged women were hanged, because their neighbors believed them to be ''witches.·· Among them were Susannah Martin, Mary Esty, and her sister Rebecca Nurse. This appall­ ing scene was fallowed by a reaction, and made so pro­ found an impression that no witch case was ever again brought to trial in New England. A wonderful letter, written to the Court by Mary Esty, probably had something to do with stopping the barbarous practice. Her serene faith, her touching appeal for the others in prison awaiting sentence, must have had much to do with the complete change of sentiment. Mary (Perkins), wife of Capt. Thomas Bradbury, was saved from execution by ·this changed viewpoint. This Rebecca Nurse seems certainly to have been our ancestor, though at present documentary proof is lacking. 25 THE KILPATRICK FAMILY The immigrant ancestor of the Nourse family was Francis Nurse, born in England, 1-18-1618, and died in Salem Village, November 22, 1695, aged seventy­ seven years, his estate ~dministered December 23, of the same year. He married, 8-24-1644, Rebecca Towne. Her parents were William Towne and Joanna Blessing,. "who were married at St. Nicholas parish Church,. Yarmouth, England, March 25, 1620. In this Church also six of their eight children were baptized.

THE EMERSON FAMILY NO. 1 There are three coats of arms for Emersons in Eng­ land. One authority states emphatically that no Em­ erson family in America is entitled to any coat of arms. Croziers, which claims to have proof of every coat of arms given, says the Thomas Emerson line, Ipswich, 1635, from Durham, England, is: Per fess indented or and vert, on a bend engrailed azure 3 lions bend ways argent. Crest: a lion rampant vert. bezantie holding a battle axe gules, argent. Motto: In te Domini Speravi. Tradition says that Thomas Emerson came from England, in the ship Elizabeth Ann in 1635. One au­ thority says he came from England in 1638. He settled in Ipswich, in that year. In 1646, he was among the seven men chosen ··to govern the place" (selectmen), and died the same year. Thomas Emerson was one of the proprietors of Ipswich in 1638. His children, all baptized in St. Michaers Church at Bishop·s Stort­ ford, in England, were: Robert, Bap. 1612~ Benjamin, Bap. 1614. James, Bap. 1617, never emigrated. Joseph, Bap. 1620. Elizabeth, Bap. 1623, m. John Fuller. John, Bap. 1625, d. 1700, settled Gloucester, Mass. Ralph, Bap. 1626. Nathaniel, Bap. 1630, settled in Ipswich. Susan, Bap. 1632. Robert Emerson evidently came later than his parents. He married, in Bishop's Stortford, 10-22-1635, 27 THE KILPATRICK FAMILY

Elizabeth Grave, of that place. She died and was buried there 6-22-1636. He married (2) Frances, who must have died shortly, no children. He married (3) January 4, 1658, Anne Grant of Rowley. They had children: Elizabeth, named for grandmother, b. May 29, 1660. Thomas, b. June 4, 1662. He with wife and ch. killed by Indians, March 15, 1697. Sarah, b. April 23, 1665, m.

December 17, 1674, moved to Pennacook. Benjamin, b. January 8, 1679. · Robert Emerson came first to Rowley, and then to Haverhill. He had sufficient education to keep accounts in the office of constable, to which the town elected him in 1679. He was also selectman for the years 1671, 1676, 1678 and 1687. He was a member of the Church, and was made a freeman of the Colony, April 29, 1668. Robert made his will June 3, 1694, and died the 25th of the same month. His widow died by drowning, July 28, 1718. She made her will December 21, 1708, and it was proved May 4, 1719. She mentions ~hat she had some property which came from the estate of her de... ceased brother, John Grant, of Rowley, besides that left her by her husband, Robert Emerson, deceased. She bequeathed all to her daughters, Elizabeth and Lydia, and sons, Joseph and Benjamin. Stephen Emerson, born at Haverhill, December 17, 1674, married December 27, 1698, Elizabeth, daugh-­ ter of the famous Thomas and Hannah (Emerson) Duston. Elizabeth was born May 7, 1680; died, January 4, 17 46. 28 THE EMERSON FAMILY

Anna Jones, a granddaughter, daughter of Esther, wrote: .. Grandma Emerson's name was Anna Jones, of Weston. Her father was in the Revolutionary War. Her mother's name was Russell. Grandma was first engaged to a young man named Russell. He was a Harvard graduate. He was taken with a cramp while bathing, and drowned. She afterwards married Parker Emerson, who was born in Lexington. His mother was born in Bedford, and her maiden name was Pollard." Esther Emerson, born January 22, 1814, at Boston, Mass., was baptized April 24. She was a member of ·the North Church. She was married, by Rev. Bar­ ron Stowe, November 29, 1838, to James Lewis Jones, and died December 24, 1866, at New York City. The following note left by the father of Marian Douglass (Jones) Kilpatrick will prove of interest. It related to the above coat of arms of William Emerson: 30 THE EMERSON FAMILY

"This coat of arms was owned by my grandfather, Capt. in the War of 1812. After he died my grandmother came to live with my father, and this relic was given to me. It was verified in England by Frederick Emerson, the mathematician, who took it with him when he visited that country, thereby proving his family and ours to be of the same stock. This I am sure of, as I heard the conversation relative to it, and carried the article to his house before he sailed. I now give it to my daughter Marian, to be re­ tained by her, and handed down as an heirloom. Nov. 28, 1889. EDWARD L. JoNEs."

THE GRANT FAMILY Thomas Grant and wife, Jane, came from England to America, probably in 1638. He died before 1643, for in that year the Widow Jane Grant had an acre and a half house lot on Bradford St., in Rowley. She was taxed in 1653 for two cows. She died 2-16-1698 .. She was left 10 shillings in the will of Robert Hunter, 8-5-1647, and.it may be she was his sister. Their son, John Grant of Rowley, died without issue March 18, 1696/7. Many interesting papers are on file· in the Probate office concerning the settlement of his estate, one of which is as follows: .. I, Sam'l Stickney, Sr., of Bradford do testify 8z say that I came over from Eng­ land to New England in the same ship with Thomas Grant and Jane . Grant, his wife, who brought over with them Faure children, by name John, Hannah, Frances, and ANN, whome I was well acquainted with and next or near neighbor to in Rowley.

ANN, ··Robert Emerson and Ann Grant married ye 4 day of January," from Rowley marriages of 1658. 32 THE DUSTIN FAMILY

THE DUSTIN FAMILY Thomas Dustin, born in England, and as early as 1640 was in Dover, N. H. He owned land in Charles­ town, Mass., adjoining the land of Ralph Hall in 1648. In that year the name of Lydia Durston is found on church records. It is possible she was his daughter. He was admitted freeman of Kittery, Maine, in 1652. The name is variously spelled, Dustin, Duston, Dastin, Durstori. On the York County, Me., Probate Records, June 8, 1703, administration granted to Thomas Durston of Haverhill, on the estate of his father, Thomas Dur­ ston of Kittery, deceased, intestate. In a deposition made April 28, 1661, Thomas Dustin gave his age as .. about 55 years" so he was about 97 years old in 1703. He received a grant of land in 1654. Early settlers along Crooked Lane were: Elihu .Gunnison (ferry­ man), George Lydston, Thomas Duston. He signed the Dover Combination in 1640, and was before the Court in N. H. for debt, May 5, 1643. He is mentioned in Kittery in 1650, and soon after that was constable there. Elizabeth Duston, ··his widow,·· gave a deed of the place to John Cutt, March 19, 1667. There seems to have been some litigation about it years afterward, and the Duston heirs recovered the place. In 1678 Lucy Wills, aged about 46, and Sarah Lidden, age about 38, testified that Thomas Duston's house was formerly burned and he had to mortgage his land to John Cutt... They say, too, that after Duston's death his widow married a Mr. Button.'' She married Matthias Button of Haverhill, Mass., July 16, 1690. Thomas Duston of Haverhill, born August 30, 1658, married December 3, 1767, Hannah, daughter of 33 THE KILPATRICK FAMILY Michael and Hannah (Webster) Emerson. They had thirteen children, listed thus: Hannah, b. 8-22-1678. Elizabeth, b. 5-7-1680. Mary, b. 11-4-1681. Thomas, b. 1-5-1683. Nathaniel, b. 5-16-1685. John, b. 2-2-1686/7. Sarah, b. 7-4-1688. Abigail, b. 10-1690. Jonathan, b. 1-16-1691/2. Timothy, b. Mehitable, 9-14-1694. Martha, b. March 9, 1696/7, killed by Indians. Lydia, b. 10-4-1698. "March 15, 1696 (7) The Indians fell upon part of Haverhill, about seven in the morning, killed and car, ried away 39 or 40 persons. Two of the captLve women, viz., Dustan and Neff, with the help of a young man­ slew ten of the Indians, and returned home with their scalps. Hannah was ever after known as the ''Heroine of Haverhill.·· Her story is in many books. Dustin·s house was a garrison house, and Dustin commanded the house. He was in Capt. Benjamin Swett's Co., in King Philip's War. Elizabeth, second daughter of Thomas and Hannah (Emerson) Dustin, was born 5-7-1680, died Jan­ uary 4, 1746, as the records appear. She married in 1698, at Haverhill, Mass., Stephen, son of Robert and Ann (Grant) Emerson.

THE EMERSON FAMILY NO. 2 The ancestry of Michael Emerson of Haverhill has been found, with a reasonable degree of certainty, to be as fallows : Alexander Emerson, Serby, Co. Lincoln, England, married Janet Hornsey of Serby. He is buried in the 34 THE EME.RSON FAMILY church of Serby. His will, 4-10-1604, proved, 2-10-1605. Her will, 1612. They had: Thomas, Michael, and Robert. Thomas Emerson, Cadney, Howsharn, Co. Lincoln, married 6-10-1612, Margaret Froe. Death dates not found. They had children: Alexander, 1613, d. same year. Ann, 1614. Elizabeth. John. Isabel. Susan. Thomas. Michael, bap. 1627. Michael, son of Thomas and Margaret (Froe) Em­ erson, baptized 1627, emigrated to New England, and settled in Haverhill, in 1656. He married 4-1-1657, Hannah, daughter of John and Mary (Shattswell) Webster, and had fifteen children. He was a witness in Rowley, in 1651. There is nothing to indicate that Michael and Robert, both in Rowley and both later in Haverhill, were related in any way. Michael's name appears in Old Norfolk deeds, as owning land in Haverhill 1659-67. He was chosen in 1675 to "view and sell" leather. He was first to hold that office, and held it until 1702. Their children were: "HANNAH, b. 12-23-1657. John, b. 8-30-1658, d. 1659. Mary, b. 10-5-1660, living in 1734, m. 1683, Hugh Matthews. John, b. 3-18-1661, m.

THE WEBSTER FAMILY This is an occupational name, having to do with weaving. The weavers were also called Webbers and Websters. Webb comes from the same source. The name could easily have appeared independently in many localities, as this occupation was general, all weaving being done in the homes in earliest times. There are two important American branches, John Webster from Suffolk, progenitor of Daniel Webster, and John of Warwickshire, progenitor of Noah Web­ ster. It was Daniel Webster who said, ''He who careth not whence he came, careth little whither he goeth. ,,· John Webster, born in Glasgow, Scotland, removed to Warwickshire, England. He came to New England with three sons. One settled in Conn., one in Webster; Mass., and the third, John, Jr., settled in Ipswich., The last came from Ipswich, Suffolk County, Eng­ land, and was a freeman of the Colony at Boston, March 4, 1634. ''John Webster was one of 13 men of good rank and quality, appointed by Gov. Winthrop to settle Ipswich, in 1633. He had a lot of land which had been granted, in 1642, to a Mr. Rogers. He was a deacon and select­ man in 1640. He was called 'the old clerk of the Bonds.· He was a baker by trade, and was admon­ ished for 'brewing and tippling.· ·' 36 THE WEBSTER FAMILY

John Webster was born in England in 1604, and married 1624, Mary, sister of John and Theophilus Shattswell, who also settled in Ipswich, and was said to be .. dau. of John.,. The Shattswell home in Ipswich was next to the Websters. He was a commoner, by vote of the town, February 23, 1644, and died before November 4, 1646, as that was the date when the Court m~de his widow Mary the administratrix of his estate. She married (2) October 29, 1650, John Emery, Sr., father of her son-in-law, John, Jr., who married her daughter Mary, two years before. She had one child, a son, named Emery. She died at Newbury, April ·28, 1694. John and Mary Webster had : · John, b. 1632, m. June 3, 1653, Ann, daughter of Nicholas and Lucy Batt. · He was a blacksmith.

At the request of the widow, John Webster's estate was divided among the eight minor children as follows: to the eldest son, John, the farm, he paying to the youngest son, Nathan, one-quarter the value of the farm. Mary, Stephen, and Hannah to have equal shares in the island bought of Widow Andrews. Eliza­ beth, Abigail and Israel to have · ·20 nobles a piece,·· all at 21 years of age. 37 THE KILPATRICK FAMILY Hannah Webster, born 12-23-1635, married Janu­ ary 1, 1657, Michael Emerson, and was mother of the · ·Heroine of Haverhill.·· She was living in 1709. John Shattswell, in his will, bequeathed to his sister, Mary Webster, ··seven yards of stuff to make her a sute."

THE PARKER FAMILY Four Parker brothers, ABRAHAM, Jacob, James_ and Joseph, the founders of one branch of American Park­ ers, are said to be of a Wi(shire family, Abraham, the eldest, bringing with him from England a coat-of-arms which has been preserved by his descendants, and is thus described : ' Gules, a chevron between three leopards' faces or. Crest: a leopard's head affrontee erased or, ducally gorged gules. This is the same arms belonging to the family of Little Norton, England, now borne by Sir Thomas Parker, E. of Macclesfield. There were several other Parkers in New England, but no evidence of relationship. A Dea. Thomas Parker, ancestor of Rev. Theodore ·Parker; a Rev. Thomas Parker, who never married, preached in New­ berry. His father was Robert Parker, who for many years resided in Leyden, Holland, and Rev. Thomas was educated in the University there, and taught in Leyden and in Newbury, England, before coming to New England. There was also a John Parker of Lexington and Andover, said by some to have been a brother of Abraham, but having a coat of arms in no way re­ sembling the arms of Abraham. The Parkers became prominent residents of Mid­ dlesex County, Mass., and were conspicuous for their 38 THE PARKER FAMILY patriotism in the early days of the Revolution. One of the companies that marched from Chelmsford on the alarm of April 19, 1775, was commanded by Col. Moses Parker, great-grandson of Abraham. He after­ wards fell at Bunker Hill. ABRAHAM Parker was first of Woburn and its first tax-payer, on September 8, 1645. Abraham and James were farmers, and all were men of consideration, and some held positions of high honor and trust. Abraham was made freeman in 1645, and in 1653 was one of the proprietors of Chelmsford. There he lived for many years, and died August 12, 1685. No record is found of date or place of his birth. He mar­ ried, November 18, (11) 1644, Rose Whitlock, thought certainly to have been the daughter of John Whitlock who died at Fairfield, Conn., in 1658, leaving a wife and several children. The only child mentioned by name was a son John. No other Whitlock found in the records. Abraham Parker was held in high esteem by his fel­ low townsmen, and his name frequently appears as member of committees for town purposes. He was a man of more than ordinary ability, courage and honor. His will, dated August 6, 168 5, is on file in Suffolk Probate Records. It was proved three years later, be­ fore Sir Edmund Andros. His widow died November 20, 1691, and her will is on file in Middlesex (Mass.) Probate Records. Abraham lived twelve years in Woburn, his estate adjoining that of Moses Cleveland. He was one of about twenty signers of a petition to General Court, dated August 30, 1653. Inventory made of the lands and chattels of Abraham Parker, Senr., of Chelms­ ford, "deceased 12 of the 6 mo. 1683 ( 5)." 39 THE KILPATR.ICK FAMILY Abraham and Rose (Whitlock) Parker had children: Anna (Hannah) b. at Woburn, October 29, 1645, bap. 1656, by Rev.

THE HILDRETH FAMILY All the Hildreths in America are said to be descen­ dants of a single ancestor, Richard Hildreth. An early. notice of him is his admission, May 10, 1643, when he was 3 5 years of age, as a freeman of Massachusetts Bay Colony. How much earlier he came is not known. He may have come to Cambridge, and settled first in Woburn, which became a separate town in 1642. He belonged to that company of thirty-nine persons, most of whom were inhabitants of Woburn and Concord, who in 1653, petitioned the General Court of Mass­ achusetts for a grant of land that embraced the present: city of Lowell. Their petition being granted, they formed a settlement to which they gave the name of Chelmsford . . Upon his petition, the Court granted to Richard Hildreth, a lot of land, for the reason that he · 'had a wife and many small children, .and being a husband­ man he was greatly disadvantaged, partly by the hand of God depriving him of the use of his right hand, whereby he was wholly disabled to labor.'' This lot of land, lying in Westford, formerly a part of Chelms­ ford, has now (1890) been in the hands of Richard Hildreth and his descendants for seven generations. Richard was Sergt. in Chelmsford Militia. He lies buried in the ancient graveyard of Chelmsford, where the grave record makes his birth date 1612. His age when admitted freeman would make it record 1608. His will is dated 2-9-1686. He married ·(1) Sarah, and had two children born in England: Jane, born 1628; James, born 1631 ; probably several of the others also were her children. She died in Cambridge 6-15-1644. He married (2) 1645 /6, Elizabeth. She died in Malden, August 3, 1693, aged 68 years. Nine children are recorded to him: 42 THE FLETCHER FAMILY

THE FLETCHER FAMILY Fletcher was originally written Fledger, and was the name given to the trade of arrow-making, or, as some think, of affixing the feather upon the arrow, "fledg- Ing. ' ' It.. Robert Fletcher, immigrant ancestor, was born in England about 1592, and died at Concord, Mass., April 3, 1677. He came to America in 1630, age 38, from Yorkshire, according to accounts gathered when his great grandchildren were still alive. Concord was incorporated in 163 5, and his name appears in· the earliest ·records of that town. His will was made February 4, 1672, aged about 80 years. In it he commits his wife to the care of son Francis and wife: bequeaths to sons Francis, William, and Samuel. Invoice taken December 5, 1677. He became a wealthy and influential citizen, and was much interested in the development of Concord. In Court records of Middlesex Co., his name appears frequently as juryman, petitioner for bridges, and for 43 THE KILPATRICK FAMILY other public improvements. The name of his wife is unknown. She outlived him. They had: Luke, b. in England, d. unm., May 2, 1665. WILLIAM, b. in England, 1622. Samuel, b. in England, December 9, 1627, m. October 14, 1659, Margaret. .

William Fletcher, Ensign, second son of Robert, came: with his parents to Concord when 8 years old. He was: admitted freeman May 10, 1643. In 1653, he was one of the proprietors who settled in Chelmsford. Novem~ ber 22, 1654, he was chosen one of the selectmen, and held the office many years~· In 1673' he was one of the Commissioners for Chelmsford. He was Ensign i~ Chelmsford militia~ and was appointed, February 15, 1676, a member of the Committee to request aid from the General Court, because of the alarming condition of the settlers in consequence of the Indian depreda­ tions. He was a large land owner, his tract, extending frortj the Merrimac River, including what is now a part o~ Lowell. The estate is still owned by the family, beina in possession of Mr. William Fletcher, 11th generation from the original proprietor. In 1671 Motion to Court by William Fletcher, of Chelmsford (his sister, Cary, on her death-bed desir­ ing him and her husband to take care of her children) expresses himself '' willing to be engaged for the child Sherybial Kibby.·· He married at Concord, October 7, 1645, Lydia Bates. They had: Lydia, Joshua, Mary, Paul, Sarah, WILLIAM, Esther, Sam­ uel. Esther m. Isaac, son of Abraham and Rose (Whit­ lock) Parker. 44 THE BATES FAMILY "Ensign Wm. Fletcher" died November 6, 1677. His inventory was taken December 12, 1677. Lieut. William Fletcher, second son of William and Lydia (Bates) Fletcher, born at Chelmsford, Feb­ ruary 21, 1657, and died there May 23, 1712, (grave­ stone) .. aged 3 5 years, 4 mo." This date of death seems to be an.error. He was active in the defense of the town during the serious Indian troubles of his time, and in 1704 received the commission of Lieut. from Gov. Dudley. He gave to Chelmsford the land on which to build the first schoolhouse, and subscribed liberally to its support. He married, September 19, 1677, Sarah, eldest daughter of Josiah and Remem­ brance (Underwood) Richardson, of Chelmsford. RE­ BECCA, fourteenth child, born Chelmsford, January 29, 1702, married Joseph Parker.

THE BATES FAMILY By NEWTON W. BATES There were two persons named Edward Bates who came to New England in the early days. One we call Edward of Boston; the other, Edward of Weymouth. Which was the ancestor is not certain, but it looks as if it were Edward of Boston. John, son of Edward, was baptized in 1st Church, Boston, January 23, 1641/2, aged about 14 days. William Fletcher married, November 11, 1645, Lydia Bates. On February 1, 1656/7,WilliamFletcher presented for baptism, his son, John Bates, aged about 15 years, and at the same time presented his other children. Rev. John Fiske did not baptize the boy, John, but "looked him over." In his will William Fletcher calls John Bates his sone-in-law, a term commonly used then for stepson. John Bates, in his will dated 18-7-1716, says that he 45 THE KILPATRICK FAMILY is "74 or thereabouts,., which would make his birth 1642. Our inference is that Edward Bates, father of this child died between 1642 and 1645, and that his wife, Lydia, married (2) .William Fletcher. Of course, this does not at all touch the ancestry of Lydia, since she was widow of Edward Bates, and her maiden name unknown, This John was John Bates of Concord, and could not have been brother of Lydia, as one authority asserted. THE RICHARDSON FAMILY Richard is a favorite name among the Normans, and the name Richardson (Richard's son) originated with them. EZEKIEL RICHARDSON came over in 1630, probably in Winthrop's fleet. He and his wife were members of the church gathered· in Charlestown August 27, 1630! which afterwards became the First Church of Boston; They were both dismissed from it with thirty-three others, October 14, 1632, to form the present First Church of Charlestown. He married, probably just before leaving England, Susannah-, as their first known child was baptized at Boston. Soon after their arrival in this country, Ezekiel Richardson and his wife took up their abode in Charlestown, and must have shared in the hard.. ships and privations endured by the early settlers there. Ezekiel Richardson was freeman May 18, 1631, Deputy to the General Court, at Boston, in 1634, and 1635. In 1635, on February 10, he was chosen on the first board of selectmen, and also in 1637, '38 and '39. In 1637 a lot of land was granted to him "on the Misticke side,'' or Malden, also to each of his brothers, Samuel and Thomas, who had come over in 1636. In 1663 The General Court appointed him constable. 46 THE RICHARDSON FAMILY

In May, 1640, the town of Charlestown petitioned the General Court for an enlargement of its territory. The petition was granted, and addition made of two miles square. On May 15, Ezekiel Richardson and some others were sent to explore the boundaries of this grant. November 5, 1640, the Church at Charlestown chose seven ·men, among them Ezekiel Richardson and his two brothers, as commissioners or agents for the erection of a new church and town on the new grant. The new town was called Woburn, and in­ cluded part of what is now Winchester, where the Richardsons settled. Ezekiel Richardson was chosen selectman at the first election of town officers of Woburn, Apri 1 13, 1644, and continued in that office till his death, October 21, 1647, his children then being all under the age of 21. His will was dated May 20, 1647, probated June 1, · 1648. His wife survived him, and married (2) Henry Brooks of Concord.

Simon Willard of Concord, June 6, 1659, to Remem­ brance, daughter of William and Sarah Underwood of Concord. He died June 22, 1690, aged sixty years. Josiah and his brother James went to reside at Chelmsford as early as 1659, the year of his marriage, drawn there perhaps by her parents, who had gone there in 1654, at the beginning of that plantation. Josiah Richardson was chosen fence viewer in Chelmsford, 1659, and was one of a commission 1662/3, to unite with a commission from Groton, to lay out a highway between the two towns. He was constable 1667; selectman 1668, 1677, 1679, and every year after that until and including 1688, and again in 1694, four­ teen years in all. Fror1 1690 to 1694, he was town Clerk. He was Captain of a military company at a time when military companies were always liable to see active and bloody work. · In 1669 he, with Thomas Hinchman and William Fletcher, erected the second sawmill built in the town. A tract of land was granted them, and they had full liberty to take from the ··common·· land what timber they saw fit, to work in the mill. January 19, 1688/9, some Indians, for the love they bore Josiah Richardson, deed to him a parcel of land at the confluence of the Concord and Merrimac Rivers, where now stands the city of Lowell. Captain Richardson died intestate, June 22, 1695, aged sixty years. His widow, Remembrance, and his seven surviving children divided his estate among them, March 12, 1695 /6. They had children, all born in Chelmsford : Sarah, b. March 25, 1659/60, m. Wm. Fletcher. Mary, b. 1662, m. Thomas Colburn. Josiah, b. 1665, m. Mary Parrish. Jonathan, b. 1667, m.

She was born in West Mill, England, and buried there 1630, and it seems probable the three Richardson brothers were her brothers. See Wyman records.

THE UNOERWOOD FAMILY Underwood is a distinctly English surname. A John .. under (below) the wood" would become quite natur­ ally John Underwood, and his children, growing up in the same place, would be called by the same until the name would become fixed upon them. At the Herald's College in London there is a pedi­ gree of Underwood from Weston, Hertfordshire, signed by Robert Underwood, 1634, who makes the following note, .. Vide Vis. of Herts, where the family hath re­ mained three hundred years;·· which would put the date of the Weston family back to about 1334. No connection has been found between any of these English families and the New England people of that name. This family in New England was founded by William Underwood, who removed from Concord, Massachu- 49 THE l(ILPATRICK FAMILY setts, 1652, with about twenty other families of Con­ cord and Woburn, to found the new settlement at Chelmsford.

There was a William Pollard in Boston, with wife Ann, who died 1725, aged one hundred and five years, leaving one hundred and thirty descendants. She was born 1620. There is no connection found between these families. THE FARMER FAMILY Widow Isabella Farmer, with some of her children, came to New England sometime after the death of her husband, John Farmer, of Ansley, Warwickshire, Eng­ land. Records in the church at Ansley, Nuneaton, War­ wickshire, give the baptism of their children, except the eldest, John, who ··was probably baptized at the mother's home, which was customary at that time.·· John Farmer, yeoman, buried August 22, 1658: Children of John Farmer and Isabella, his wife, were: John Farmer, bap. not found.

EDWARD FARMER, born May 22, 1645, came to New England with his mother after 1658; he married Mary, by some given as Barbage, probably in England. Widow Isabel Farmer paid .. hearth tax" in Ansley., 1663 and 1665. Isabella Farmer, widow, married (2), Elder Thomas Wiswell, who was ordained Ruling Elder, with John Eliot, Junior, teacher of the church of Newton, at its origin, July 20, 1664. He died December 6, 1683. She died 3-21-1686. Edward Farmer came to Billerica probably in 1671, as the birth of his son J_ohn is recorded August nine­ teenth, of that year. He was accepted as a citizen and granted a five acre privilege, in 1672/3, .. extending north to the corner,·· and it ··remained in possession of the family llntil a recent date.'' His house lot was on the east side of Long Street. He was freeman, Jan­ uary 11, 1673. He was chosen to several important offices in Billerica, and was active in public life to an advanced age . . Edward Farmer had four sons and four daughters. He died in Billerica, May 27, 1727. Mary, his wife, died March 26, 1719, aged seventy-seven years, 1642. There children were : . Sarah, b. around 1669, m. THOMAS Pollard. John, b. August 19, 1671. Edward, b. March 22, 1674. Mary, b. November 3, 1675. Barbara, b. 1677. Elizabeth, b. May 17, 1680. Thomas, b. --8, 1683. Oliver, b. February 2, 1686. The house of Edward Farmer, which stood until after 1728, was fortified as a garrison for a number of 52 THE HILL FAMILY years. While occupied as such, the following incident occurred, which has been handed down by tradition in the family. During the Ten Years· Indian War, and about the year 1692, the Indians were planning an attack upon this garrison. Early in the forenoon of a summer·s day, the wife and daughter of Edward Farmer went into the garden to gather peas or beans for dinner, being attended by her sons who were young lads, as a guard to protect them. They had been out but a short time when Mrs. Farmer discovered that a number of Indians were concealed behind the fences, some of them so near that she could almost reach them. Had she given any alarm they would probably have rushed from their lurking places, seized the party and fled. Their object was to get possession of the garrison, which offered more plunder, and a greater number of captives. With admirable wit and presence of mind she quietly led her sons to the garrison. The Indians, not knowing they were dis­ covered, remained in their hiding places. There she gave the alarm, the people collected and the Indians fled. SARAH, daughter of Edward Farmer and Mary, mar­ ried November 6, 1692, her cousin, Thomas Pollard. He died April 4, 1724. She died May 3, 1725.

THE HILL FAMILY Ralph Hill sold September 16, 1643, to Stephen Wood, house and garden, ··upland at Woburn, twelve acres, or thereabouts,·· and we afterwards find him in Woburn, where he was freeman in 1647, and select­ man in 1649. He joined in the settlement of Shoshine (Cambridge) at an early date, and lived on ··the farm" a mile southwest of the village, his house standing a little west of the place where his descendant, Mrs. Judkins, now lives. In April, 1663, he gave the town one-half acre of land for a .. burying place," and on the twenty-ninth he died, his own body perhaps the first to be laid in the ··south burying ground.'' 53 THE KILPATRICK FAMILY His wife died, and he married, at Plymouth, 12-31- 1638, Margaret, widow of Dr. Roger Toothacre. The Toothacres came in the Hopewell, 9-16-1635, he aged twenty-three, and she aged twenty-eight, with a son Roger, aged one year. Dr. Roger died soon after. Lands were granted to his widow, Margaret, 2-5- 1637/8. She married that same year Ralph Hill. She died November 22, 1683, aged seventy-six years. They had "child Jane, b. in England." In his will, dated Sep­ tember 12, 1663, Billerica, Ralph Hill mentions a ··granddaughter Mary Littlefield," ··Ralph," "Martha," "'Nathaniel," '"Jonathan (b. April 20, 1646)," "Rebecca whom. Caleb Farley," ··sonne Roger Toothacre," .. gr.child Elizabeth Hill," "brother William Franch.'' The son Ralph Hill married Martha, daughter of his stepmother, November 15, 1669, and had seven children. He died April 9, 1695. She died January 4, 1704, aged eighty-nine: born soon after her parents came to New England. NATHANIEL HILL, son of Ralph Hill, probably by his first wife, married J tine 21, 1667, Elizabeth Holmes, daughter of Robert Holmes of Cambridge. She died October 9, 1685. He died at Chelmsford, May 14, 1703/6, aged seventy-four years. He is called '"Cor­ ronet Nath'l Hill." They had: Nathaniel, b. March 31, 1668, m. November 20, 1706, Hannah, dau. of Joseph Walker. He died August 30, 1713, and she m. (2) Samuel Dutton, They had a dau. Hannah whom. February 17, 1735/6 Oliver Pollard, b. at Billerica, October 3, 1709, d. June 9, 1752, at Bedford.

THE HOLMES FAMILY This is a name of English origin meaning meadow lands near water. Robert Holmes, an early inhabitant of Cambridge, 54 THE WALKER FAMILY lived on the southerly side of Brattle Street, not far from the Appian Way. By his wife, Jane, he had: Dorcas, b. August, 1638. John, b. August; 1639, Freeman, 1641. Joseph, b. about 1641. Elizabeth, h. March 2, 1643/4. Robert Holmes died 1663 ; his wife Jane died Octo­ ber 28, 1655. In his will he names daughter Elizabeth and sons John and Joseph. Will executed in Charles­ town, June 16, 1663. He and his wife were members of the Church of Christ, Cambridge. ELIZABETH Holmes married 6-21-1667, NATHANIEL, son of Ralph Hill.

THE WALKER FAMILY Samuel Walker of Woburn was born in England, but many have felt certain he was not the immigrant ancestor, but had also his father Richard in New Eng­ land. There had been much controversy on the sub­ ject. Whether the father of Samuel, or not, Richard Walker was called .. gentleman," also ··planter," and resided on the west of the Saugus River, Lynn, Massa­ chusetts. He w~s buried May 16, 1687, aged ninety­ five. He was a freeman in 1634/5; juryman 1636; Cap­ tain of militia; proprietor of Lynn, 1638, of Reading 1644, trustee of Old North Church, Boston. He came to New England in 1630, and was.the first Speaker of the General Court, Selectman of Reading and Lynn, Deputy to General Court in 1640 and 1641 and in 1679. He is credited with a son Richard, born 1611, and a son Samuel, younger. He married in England, his first wife, Jane Talmadge, who was the mother of his children. She died before 1639. His estate pro­ bated June 19, 1688, names his ··widow Sarah,,, a second or third wife. 55 THE KILPATRICK FAMILY Samuel Walker, whether a son of Richard and Jane (Talmadge) Walker or not, was born in England, about 1617, as discovered from an affidavit by himself and by his son Samuel on 4-2-1661, when he said he was aged forty-four or thereabouts. I--Ie came to New Eng­ land about 1630, it is said, and lived for some years in Lynn. He rerpoved to Reading in 1643, being then twenty-six years of age. He and his wife were admitted to the church in 1650. The first mention of his name in Woburn was in 165 5. Samuel Walker married be­ fore 1643, Hannah--.

By her he had Isaac, born 1676/7) and Ezekiel, born 1679. She as his widow deeded land in 1702 to her sons Isaac and Ezekiel. She survived him about thirty years. She was appointed school mis,. tress of Woburn after Mr. Walker's decease. He died at Woburn, November 20, 1684; inventory taken De~ cember 4, 1684. They had : Isaac Walker, m. February 20, 1704/5, Margery Bruce. Ezekiel Walker, m. August 20, 1701, Ruth Cook. · 56 THE WYMAN FAMILY

SAMUEL Walker won the confidence of Woburn townsmen, who chose him, February 25, 1661/2, to be surveyor of highways for the- town, and from that time, during the remainder of his life, was called upon nearly every year to serve on the board of selectmen, or fill some other place of trust or usefulness. Joseph, son of Samuel and Hannah Walker, born at Reading, October 10, 1645, died in Billerica, July, 1729. Married, December 15, 1669, Sarah, daughter of Lieutenant John and Sarah (Nutt) Wyman of Wo­ burn. The town officers of Woburn granted him lib­ erty to be an inhabftant; and he was elected selectman in 1686, 1694 and 1700. Joseph and Hannah had children: Benjamin. . Sarah, b.

THE WYMAN FAMILY Francis Wyman, the early English ancestor, lived in the parish of West Mill, County Hertford, England, where he died in 1658. He was a farmer, and a man of some property. His will dated September 15, 1658, proved February 14, 1659, bequeaths to wife Jane; to sons Francis and JOHN WYMAN ··who are beyond the sea ;'' to his sister, Susan Huitt, widow. Francis Wyman married at West Mill, May 2, 1617, Elizabeth Richardson, doubtless related to the three Richardson brothers who, with the two Wyman sons 57 THE KILPATRICK FAMILY Francis and John, were among the founders of W o­ burn. She was buried June 22, 1630, and he married_, (2) Jane. His children listed chronologically below were by the first wife, and are in the Register in Church at West Mill, near Buntingford, Hertfordshire, England: 1617, May 2, Francis Wyman m. Elizabeth Richardson. 1618, April 5, Thomas, ye son of Francis Wyman, bap. 1619, February 24, Francis, ye son of Francis Wyman, bap. 1621, February 3, JOHN, ye son of Francis Wyman, bap. 1623, March 14, Richard, ye son of Francis Wyman, bap. 1628, August 31, William, ye son of Francis Wyman, bap. 1630, June 22, Elizabeth, the wife of Francis Wyman buried. 163.0, July-, William the son of Francis Wyman buried. 165 6, July 12, the wife 1of Francis Wyman of West Mill buried. 1658, September 19, Francis Wyman of West Mill buried. 1617, ··Tithing Book" at West Mill, Francis Wyman of Rey- mers Croft paid tithes. 1618, ··Tithing Book" at West Mill, Francis Wyman at Brook End, paid tithes.

Elizabeth Richardson, baptized January 13, 1593, at West Mill. The brothers Francis and John Wyman were tan­ ners. The first mention of them is in Charlestown, December :LS, 1640, as signers of the Town orders for Woburn. l heir descendants have been numerous. The two brothers had their dwellings and their tan­ ning establishments near the late Benjamin Wyman's, in Wyman Lane. They were also joint proprietors of lands in other parts of the town. Francis Wyman died in Woburn, November 28, 1699, aged eighty-two years. Our ancestor, John Wyman, was a Lieutenant of Militia; he was admitted freeman May 26, 1647. He 58 THE NUTT FAMILY

deposed in court, December 18, 1660, his age was about thirty-nine years. He died, May 9, 1684. He married November 6, 1644, Sarah Nutt, daughter of Miles Nutt, who settled in Watertown. She married (2) August, 1684, Thomas Fuller of Woburn. If the Richardson brothers were, as seems probable, brothers of Elizabeth (Richardson) Wyman, these Wyman brothers were their nephews, but there seems to be no documentary evidence. · SARAH, daughter of John and Sarah (Nutt) Wyman, born April 15, 1650, married December 15, 1669, JOSEPH WALKER, ''of the Towne of Oburne (Woburn) this tenth day of March, Anno Domini 1683/4." His will mentions: · '"Beloved wife Sarah; .. "two servants, Jeremiah and Susanna, negroes;·· ''son Jonathan''-and gives him, among other prop­ erty, '"James, Negro;" "son Seth Wyman;" "daughter SARAH WALKER and Bathsheba Toy;·· '· Isabell Wyman, my grandchild;·· ·· grandchilde John Wyman;·· ··grandchild Mary Wiman;·· · 'be­ loved friends Brother ffrancis Wyman, FFRANCIS KENDALL and John Monsall." June 17, 1684, Francis Wyman took oath that he saw his brother, John Wyman,·· of SoundJudgmt & memory seal & sign this last will ... He had a son John Wyman who died before him. His inventory was taken twenty-second of the sixth month, 1676. The report says, ''There is an estate of housing and lands and moveables yt was given by his grandfather Nutt & ye sum cant be entered tell ye decease of the widdow of ye Sd. Nutt.''

THE NUTT FAMILY Miles Nutt was one of the proprietors of Watertown in 1636. He was freeman 5-17-1637.' Removed to Woburn, 1645. He had a daughter Sarah, probably his only living child, for he names no other in his will. He married Sybil Sibble; she came to New England 59 THE KILPATRICK FAMILY as wife of John Bibbie who had a house plot granted him in Boston in 1637. She was in Shadwell, in Step­ ney, England, October 9, 1640. He removed to Mal­ den. In his will mentions son-in-law Robert) ones. The will of Miles Nutt, dated February 1, 1660, mentions: .. Wife Sybill;" .. daughter Sarah, now the wife of John Weyr­ man;·· ''the daughter of my wife, Sybil, by name Anna, the wif~ of Robert (Jones)... He is "willing she (Sybil) should live at Malden." ..John Weyman the elder to be executor." He lived in Charlestown, and died July 2, 1671. He was freeman, 1637. SARAH NUTT married, November 5, 1644, JoHN2 WYMAN.

THE OTHER JONES FAMILY Lewis Jones came to New England on the ship In­ crease, and settlec;l in Roxbury in 1640, with his wife, Ann (probably Artn Stone). In Rev. John Eliot's Record of church members, Roxbury, 1631 to 1650, Lewis Jones appears about 1641, with Ann Jones, wif~: of Lewis Jones. But it seems he came first to Wateri­ town, before 1640, as records say he "returned to: Watertown in 1650/51 ;·· where he had various corrl~· mercial transactions, including the purchase and sa\~1 of real estate. The Jones residence in Roxbury ·was called ··The Noakes," and lay near the Dorchester line, and nd,t far from Roxbury Brook. In Watertown they lived at what is now the corner of Green and Belmont streets, now in Belmont. Lewis Jones was a public-spirited man, interested in' education, and one of the original donors of the free: schools. There is no record for date or place of his birth. His wife died in 1680, aged seventy-eight years, and it is probable he was not far from that age. Lewis and Ann had four children : Lydia, b. before 1640, m. 10-30-1656, Jonathan Whitney. 60 THE OTHER JONES FAMILY

Josiah, b. 1643, at Roxbury. Phebe, bap. 11-1-1645, d. 1650, ··of a scald." Shubael, b. 7-1-1651; his father's will refers to him as ··my poor child ... The will of Lewis Jones speaks of ··eonsidering the weak and helpless condition of ·my dear wife Ann Jones, and of my son Suball Jones"; mentions ··daughter Lydia Whitney;" ··son Josiah;" ··my loving friend and brother John Stone to be overseer to assist my son ... The will dated 7th of 1st month, 1678/9, codicil dated 4-19- 1682. He died April 11, 1684. Will approved, 6-14-1684. His grave had not been discovered. Mrs. Ann Jones is buried in the cemetery at Watertown (Weston) and her epitaph reads: ··Here lyeth the body of ANN JONES 78 years Dyed The I of May, 1680." The Jones family owed its remarkable vigor for a century and a quarter very largely to two remarkable -women, LYDIA TREADWAY, who became the wife of Captain Josiah Jones, son of Lewis and Anne, and Abigail Barnes, wife of the second Josiah who bore his father's name and succeeded him in the military and civic life of Wes ton. Lydia Treadway Jones, born 1649, lived to the age of ninety-four, dying in 1743, at which time she had two hundred and eighty-nine liv­ ing descendants. Of the six sons of Josiah and Lydia, all seem to have married capable women. This was certainly true of Hannah Welles, wife of Isaac Jones, who was of the Connecticut family that later produced Gideon Welles, David A. Wells, and other men promine11t for charac­ ter and efficiency. Nathaniel Coolidge, husband of Lydia Jones, was a son of the first settler of the name in Watertown, ancestor of Calvin Coolidge, and the descendants of the six children of this marriage form a considerable part of this-extraordinary family. 61 THE KILPATRICK FAMILY

Three of the brothers had an aggregate of forty chil~ dren. The descendants of Nathaniel would fill a large volume, and the same is true of JAMES JONES, one of whose sons, Aaron, removed to Templeton, and lived to be nearly one hundred years old.

THE JONESES AND THE GARFIELDS One of the sturdy and prolific first families of Water­ town was founded by Edward Garfield, ancestor of President James A. Garfield. Mehitable Garfield, who married John Jones, was great-granddaughter of this virile English immigrant. . She was the daughter of Captain Benjamin Garfield, and sister of Thomas who was ancestor of· 1the President. Her brother Benoni had a daughter Abigail who married James Jones, Jr., thus sending two streams of Garfield virility into the Jones families. ·• This seems to be a good plac.e to turn back and link the Jones family with the Garfields. Captain Josiah, Junior, married Abigail Barnes, as we have seen. Few American mothers have had a larger number of dis .. tinguished descendants within three generations than this Abigail Barnes. She was the great-great-grand.. mother of Henry Thoreau. Thoreau's father's people came from the Island of Jersey. Thoreau's father, John Thoreau, married Cyn• thia Dunbar, the youngest child of Asa Dunbar and Mary Jones, the latter the only daughter among fif.. teen children of Colonel Elisha Jones of Weston, a great-grand~on of Lewis and Anne Jones, and a wealthy and noted citizen. Colonel Elisha Jones was a resolute Royalist, as were most of his fourteen sons. Twelve of his sons lived to grow up, and eight of them were banished from the colonies and had their properties confiscated 62 THE JONES-GARFIELD FAMILY

for their pro-English activities. Colonel Jones himself escaped banishment only by death. His fine old man­ sion is still standing in Weston. Mary Jones had mar­ ried in 1772, Rev. Asa Dunbar, pastor of the Congre­ gational Church of Salem. The story of Mary Jones, her Royalist brothers, and her husband, is a very interesting one, but enough has been said to show the character of the families con­ cerned. The other Jones descendants were Loyal Americans, as records show. Josiah, son of Lewis and Anne Jones, was born prob­ ably in Roxbury, 164 3. He died in Weston, 10-3-1714 ; married 10-2-1667, Lydia, daughter of Nathaniel and Sufferance (Haynes) Treadway, who died 9-17-1743, aged ninety-five. Josiah lived at Watertown Farms (Weston); was admitted freeman April 18, 1690. He was Captain of the Militia and was in King Philip's War. Josiah Jones and Lydia Treadway had children: Lydia, b. 8-25-1668, m. 1-2-1687 /8, Nathaniel Coolidge, Jr. Josiah, b. 10-20-1670, d. 12-21-1734, m. Abigail Barnes. Mary, b.

His home was in the village of Sutton-Mandeville, and in April, 1638, he sailed from Southampton in the Confidence for New England. In the sailing list -he is described as a "Linnen weaver," and recorded as aged fifty-five. A son had preceded him to New England. He brought with him wife Elizabeth, of whom noth­ ing is known except that she died June 15, 1659. He was one of the original settlers and grantees of Sud­ bury, the town being founded by him, with his son 67 THE KILPATRICK FAMILY

John, and Peter Noyes, father of two daughters-in­ law and one son-in-l~w of Walter Haynes. Walter Haynes was son of widow Alice Haynes. A will executed by the said Walter, March 2, 1623/4, es­ tablishes his identity. The marriage, in Dorset, which adjoins Wiltshire, church register of Sherburne, of John Hayne and Alice Lambert, October 23, 1575, re­ fers undoubtedly, to the parents of Walter Haynes. Some one has offered the guess that, because of their. close association, Elizabeth, the wife of Walter Haynes,. was sister of Peter Hayse. Considering that Peter Noyse had three other children who married Hayneses, i that seems excuse enough for Peter to come to New: England, and settle near the Haynes group. There is: nothing else to -lead one to think of him as connected• with Walter's wife. · Walter Haynes and wife, Elizabeth, had: . Thomas, d. unmarried. John~ b. in ·England, 1621, m.

THE MOORE FAMILY John Moore, founder of the family in Middlesex and Worcester counties, Massachusetts, was born in England about 1610-12, and died in Sudbury, Janu­ ary 6, 1673/4. · He married in England (1) Elizabeth, who bore him two children, Elizabeth and John, and died in England. He married· (2) in England, Eliza­ beth, daughter of Philemon Whale, who settled in Sud­ bury about the same time as the Moores. John and Elizabeth (Whale) Moore had two children born in England, Mary and William. After coming to Sud­ bury they had Lydia, JACOB, Joseph and Benjamin. Elizabeth (Whale) Moore died December 14, 1690. John ·Moore, not connected with John Moore of Cambridge, was in Sudbury in 1642, and in September of that year he bought of Edmund Rice a house and land situated in the east part of the town, in the south­ erly part of what is now the town of Wayland. He took oath of fidelity to Sudbury, July 9, 1645, and the 69 THE KILPATRICK FAMILY same year bought of John Stone a dwelling house lot and all other lands and meadows belonging to Stone by virtue of his right in the beginning of the place of Sudbury.

John Moore's will was made 25th of August 1668, and allowed the 7th of April 1674.

THE WHALE F.AMILY It is probable that Philemon Whale came to Sud­ bury in company with his son-in-law, JohnMoore, very soon after its settlement in 1638, for he bought land there as early as 1643. He was a weaver by trade, but after he came to the new world his chief occupation was that of a farmer. He was a freeman 5-10-1648. Elizabeth, wife of Philemon Whale, accompanied him to America, and died in Sudbury, June 20, 1647. On November 7, 1649, he married Sarah, widow of Thomas Cakebread, who died December 28, 1656, no issue. He married (3) November 9, 1657, a woman who, like himself, had been twice married, Mrs. Eliza­ beth Griffin of Sudbury. He had but one child, his daughter Elizabeth, who was his sole heir. Philemon Whale died February 24, 1675, and his widow died November 8, 1688. In a few weeks after the death of Philemon, the town of Sudbury was at­ tacked by Indians, and much property was destroyed. Elizabeth, only child of Philemon and Elizabeth Whale, was born in England, and married there before 1640, John Moore, with whom she came to America before 164 3 .

Robert Davis of Sudbury, whose wife was Bridget, calls Henry Loker ·'brother·· in his will of 165 5. It is assumed that Bridget Loker married Robert Davis. On April 19, 1678, HENRY and HANNAH LOKER, be-:­ ing old and feeble, deeded their whole estate to their ''loving son JACOB MooRE, and wife Elizabeth,'' and probably in their home the parents died. THE BREWER FAMILY It is said, without sufficient analysis of dates, that Hannah Brewer of Sudb\,lry who married Henry Loker, March 4, _1647, was a daughter of John Brewer of that place. He came to Sudbury, 1646, with wife Anne, who died the following year, leaving two children: 72 THE GARFIELD FAMILY

THE GARFIELD FAMILY Edward Garfield died in Watertown at a great age. He probably came as an old man, with his son Edward, Junior. EDWARD GARFIELD, Junior, was one of Watertown·s early settlers; was freeman May 6, 1635. He was selectman, 1638, 165 5, and 1662. Edward, Junior, was probably a littler older; he married in England, Re­ becca, who was the mother of all his children. They were: Samuel, b. in England, about 1624; d. 1684, age 60.

She married (2) April 30, 1590, Robert Stuard of Laven­ ham. The will of Thomas Hammond mentions chil­ dren: Elizabeth, WILLIAM, Rose, Martha, Susanna,, Marie, Thomas. William, son of Thomas and Rose (Tripp) Ham­ mond, was baptized in Lavenham, County Suffolk, England, October 30, 1575. He was the only living: son, as his younger brother, Thomas, died in infancy. He married in England, Elizabeth Paine, and all his 1 children were born there.· The marriage is recorded 6-9-1605. She was daughter of William Payne; and .sister of William of Ipswich, Massachusetts, as proved by his will in which he left a gift to each of the chil­ dren of his sister, Elizabeth Hammond. William Hammond came to Scituate, Massachu­ setts, probably as early as 1632,.bringing his older chil­ dren with him. His wife Elizabeth, and three youngest children embarked at Ipswich, England, in the ship Francis, John Cutting, Master, in April, 1634, and joined her husband in New England. They settled in Watertown about 1636. He was freeman in Water­ town, 5-25-1636, and was one of the largest land­ owners in the town. He died October 8, 1662. In his will, dated July 1, 1662, he mentions .. daughter Eliza­ beth House, deceased.·· Elizabeth (Payne) Hammond died September 14, 1670. Children: William, bap. 9-30-1607.

ANNE (Hannah) Hammond, bap. 7-14-1616, in England. Came to New England with her father about 1632. She married (1) TIMOTHY HAWKINS; married (2) Ellis Barron, Senior, father of her eldest daughter's husband. Anne died in 1685. THE. PAINE (PAYNE) FAMILY The name Paine seems to be from the word ''Pagan,·' probably at first a nickname. The first definite infor~ mation we have of this family is found in the ''Visita­ tion of Suffolk County, .. compiled originally in 1561. This work was afterwards -supplemented by Gage in his ''History of Suffolk County.·· Both these writers describe the family as resident in Leicestershire, upon the famous field of Bosworth where the last great battle of the Roses was fought, August 22, 1485. Beginning with the history of the family as presented in the ''Visitation·· we have: Sir Thomas Payne, Knight, of Market Bosworth, born about 1400. He married Margaret, daughter of Sir Thomas Pultney, Knight, ancestor of William Pultney, at one time Premier of England. They had three sons: Robert, William and Edmund. No mention is found of Robert or William thereafter. Edmund, youngest son of Sir Thomas Payne was living A. D. 1540. He married Elizabeth, daughter of Robert Walton, of Leicester County, and had several sons. His residence was undoubtedly that of his birth, at Market Bosworth. Among his sons was : WILLIAM PAYNE, the eldest, and his heir, removed to Suffolk County, and took up his residence at Henage in that County, carrying with him the use of his grand­ father's coat of arms. This came henceforth in Heraldic history to be known as the ''Coat and Crest of Leices­ ter County and Suffolk Co.,·· and is especially known 77 THE KILPATRICK F-AMILY as belonging to .. Payne and Hengrave:' He was a man of importance in his day, being in the service of Edward Stafford, Duke of Buckingham, as bailiff of his Manor of Hengrave. In 1521, the Duke was con­ victed of a conspiracy against the King, and was put to death by Henry VIII. Payne thus lost his place as bailiff, and retired to private life. He married Margery, daughter of Thomas Ash, by whom he had twelve children. One of these was: Henry, who never married. He received in 1564, a grant in fee of the Manor of Nowton. By this purchase he became Lord of the Manor of Nowton. He died July 25, 1568, settling the Manor on his Brother Anthony. . Anthony Payne, seventh son of William and Mar- gery (Ash) Payne, married Martha Castell, who died June 28, 1603. He died and was buried at Nowton, March 3, 1606. The Manor of Nowton he left to Anthony, son of his own son John, who died before him. There were four children of this marriage: John, Thomas, WILLIAM and Anne. WILLIAM, son of Anthony and Martha (Castell) Payne, was baptized at St. Mary's Church, December 2, 1565. He was married, and his wife was living April 20, 1606. , John, the eldest brother of William, died before the father, and his son Anthony thus became his grand­ father's heir, and had settled upon him the Manor of Nowton, which made him Lord of the Manor. Anthony, the younger, having this estate in 1607, is said to have sold the Manor to his uncle WILLIAM, he then being resident at Benham. It is a little puz­ zling to understand how entailed property could be sold, but William then became Lord of the Manor. He was buried April 29, 1648, aged eighty-three years. 78 THE PAINE FAMILY

His children were : Anne, the only child who remained in England. William, b. 1598/9, settled in Ipswich, Mass., d. October IO, 1660. Robert, b. 1601. Elizabeth, m. WILLIAM HAMMOND. Dorothy, m·. Dr. Simon Eyre, and came to America with her brothers, April 15, 163 5, settled at Watertown. She d. August 11, 1650. Phebe, m. John Page and came over in 1630, with two chil­ dren, and settled in Watertown. She d. 1677, aged 87 years. ELIZABETH, daughter of William Payne, baptized in England, September 11, 1586, married according to Lavenham Parish Register, June 9, 1605, to William Hammond, and emigrated to America, but she came with younger children, 1634, about two years after he came. Since one proof of descent of the line above was the use of the same coat of arms by the Leicestershire Paines of Market Bos­ worth and later by the family of the same name in Suffolk County, as well as by the first two generations of Paines in America, and since it was known as belonging to the Paines of the Manor of Hengrave, it is quite safe to allow the coat armor to our family. It was as follows: ··Argent of a fesse, engrailed, gules between the martlets sable as many mascles, or, all within a bordure of th.e second bezantee. Crest: a wolfs head erased azure charged with five bezants, saltierwise." This may be interpreted as follows: Argent, silver, referring to the shield, purity. Fesse, the belt of the Knight. Engrailed, indented or wavy edges, denoting that the honor was obtained with difficulty, not with a single cut. Gules, red, referring to the belt, courage. Martlets, birds of a swallow kind, without feet, denoting a younger generation with no landed inheritance to stand on. Sable, black, denoting antiquity of lineage. Mascles, the three rhombs or lozenge forms of the belt, sig­ nifying meshes of a net, fishing privileges. 79 THE KILPATRICK FAMILY

Or, gold, goodness. Bordure, an additional honor or mark of cadency, to dis­ tinguish a younger branch from the main line. Second, of the second color named, here red. Bezantee, sprinkled with round pieces of gold, said to indi­ cate the coins of Byzantium, or Constantinople, and that they had been on the Crusades and were ransomed. Erased, when the head is torn from the body, and presents at the neck a rough or ragged appearance, instead of straight, thus showing strength as against skill with the sword. Azure, blue, truth and fidelity. Bezants, substantive of bezantee, gold coins. Saltierwise, arranged in the form of an X, also signifying Crusade service. The above was known as ··The Arms of Payne of Market Bosworth, :County of Leicester and Suffolk,·· showing that the family settled first in Leicester and afterwards removed to Suffolk, whence th~ original American ancestor of our Paine line came, bringing with him this highly-prized ensign.

THE STEARNS FAMILY Isaac Stearns came to America in 1630, with the Winthrop Colony, and settled in Watertown, near Mt. Auburn. He was admitted freeman May 18, 1631, which is the earliest date of any such admission. He was selectman several years. In 1647, he was appointed by the selectmen ··to consider how the bridge over the river shall be built and to agree with the workmen for doing it, according to their best discretion." This is the first mention of a bridge over the Charles River at Watertown. Isaac Stearns married in England, in 1622, Mary, daughter of John and Margaret (Marsh) Barker, of Stoke Nayland. He died June 19, 1671. She died April 2, 1677. 80 THE STEARNS FAMILY

Isaac Stearns· English home is shown in the following record: Isaac Stearns of Watertown, late of Stoke Nayland, County Suffolk, and wife Mary, daughter of John Barker of same, ap­ pointed Thomas Gilson, of Sudbury, County Suffolk, to collect five pounds of one Munnings, due on a bond given by Munnings before his marriage to Margaret Barker, mother of said Mary. A descendant of Isaac Stearns, living in Boston, has the arms as fallows: ··or, a chevron between 3 corsses flory sable. Crest: A cock starling, ppr., Motto: Animo et Fide." Isaac's will, dated five days before his decease, with his autograph signature, is on the files of the Probate Office of Middlesex Coun~y. In it, he says, ''My will is that my kindsman Charles _Steerns shall have 10 pounds of my estate ... It appears from the appraisal of his estate that he was in comparatively easy circumstances, for those times, considering that he had previously given re­ spectable portions to each of his seven children, for it embraces fourteen lots or parcels of land amount­ ing to four hundred and sixty-seven acres, with the due quantity of stock and farming utensils, provisions and household goods. He was trained to the trade of tailor, and his father­ in-law was a clothier. The children of Isaac and Mary, born in England, were: Baptized, January 6, 1626, Mary, daughter of Isaac Sternes.

THE MANNING FAMILY "In the New World the Manning Family has always been well represented. In 1634 William, probably of Essex in England, made a home in Cambridge, Massa­ chusetts. In 1636 Thomas and Richard were at Ips­ wich, and Richard's great-great-granddaughter was mother of Nathaniel Hawthorne. Other Mannings were in Boston and Salem and in Virginia.·· ··William's grandson, Samuel Manning, was a pio­ neer of Billerica, where, in 1696 he built a home that is still standing without change, and is owned by the 82 THE MANNING FAMILY Manning Association, made up of direct descendants of William of Cambridge. · 'This house is called The Manning Manse, and has never been out of the Manning family, except in the hands of trustees by will of Lucinda Mannings, who directed that the income be used for religious instruction. ·· In this house· and its outbuildings is one of the largest collec­ tions of ancient utensils and documents pertaining to a family in America, including over ten thousand items. · 'William Manning of Cambridge, and Susannah his wife, had a son William, born 1614, in England, perhaps their only child. Hem. Dorothy, and they had_ 5 children. (See below). "The discussion of the correct coat of arms was apparently settled in a communication from John W. Jameson, Heraldist, in 192 5, who was commissioned by the President of the Association to paint and engrave a proper coat of arms. The description is herewith given in its quaint Elizabethan spelling: "The field gules on a cross patonce betwene fower trefolyes Or, a pellet, And to their Crest upon a healme yssuant of a crown golde a Egles hed sable membered Or, betwene 2 Ess truge (ostrich) feathers argent, dated xxth day of April A. Elizabeth, 1577." Modern rendering :-Gules, a cross flory between four trefoils Or, Crest, Out of a ducal coronet Or an Eagle's head sable, breaked or, between two ostrich feathers argent.·· From the Manning Messenger. William H. Manning, a family historian, writes that William Manning from England, was in Roxbury, Massachusetts, for a few weeks in 1634; then in the New Town, which became Cambridge, during the town's earliest years. It was December 28, 1630, that the decision was made ··after diverse meetings in Boston, Roxbury, and Watertown" to build a fortified town on the Charles River, a mile from Watertown that was then where Mt. Auburn is. On May 31, 1636, Rev. Hooker, and most of his parishioners went through the wilderness to Connecticutt, ··because of want of room for their cattle, and room for new settlers.·· He was suc­ ceeded by Mr. Shepard and his followers. 83 THE KILPATRICK FAMILY

William Manning had come to America in the .. flock" of Mr. Hooker, probably by way of Holland, but it was as one of Mr. Shepard's flock that he ··confessed his sins, troubles, and re­ pentances," and refers to his ··business lawfull and commend­ able,,. as recorded by Mr. Shepard. This record of Mr. Shepard's .. contains the relations of the experience of persons admitted as members of the church.·· · Most of these relations fill one page, and some fill several. They are headed · 'The Confessions of di­ verse p'pounded to be received and were entertained as members.·· Among these were: Mr. Sparhawke, Miss Sparhawke, Mr. San­ ders, Goodwife Holmes, Barbary Cutter, GoooMAN MANNING, Hannah Brewer, Robert Holmes, Old Goodwife Cutter, Mr. Haynes, Richard Cutter, Goodwife Champney, Sr. Jones. These are all ancestors of ours, and should be interesting reading. William Manning did not go to Connecticut with Mr. Hooker, but some of his grandchildren did go, and established the large group of Mannings there. William Manning was a freeman in 1640. He moved to Boston in 1650, when his son William took over his business, and is re­ f erred to in his will as having "a good estate." This son was born in England about 1614, and ,vas in Cambridge in 1634, where he died 1690, and lies with his wife Dorothy and others of the family, in the old cemetery between Harvard Square and Christ's Church. William Manning acted almost continuously in positions of public trust; highway surveyor, constable five terms, selectman fifteen terms, on the grand jury three sessions; on a committee to erect a Charles River bridge in 1650. He helped to settle many estates, including Rev. Jonathan Mitchell's 1668, after whose death he went to England with a letter from "several Magistrates and Ministers,,. to invite Rev. Uriah Oakes to the Pastorate, which he accepted, and later be­ came President of Harvard College. William Manning settled Mr. Oakes' estate. · William Manning, born in England about 1614, married before 1642, Dorothy. Who she was has long been a problem. The inscription on her gravestone in the old burying ground in Cambridge states that she died July 26, 1692, aged eighty years, and so was born about 1612. William died March 14, 1690/1, aged 84 THE STIMSON FAMILY seventy-six years. The five children given in records of Christ Church, Cambridge were:

HANNAH, b. 6-21-1642, d. 2-26-1724/4, m. 2-1-1662/3, to Samuel Stearns. Samuel, b.July 21, 1646, cl.June 24, 1671, m. April 13, 1664, Elizabeth, sister of Samuel Stearns. Sarah. John. Mary. Sarah, married Joseph Bull. Mary married Rev. William Adams and diea before her father. Samuel, pioneer of Billerica, built the house which is referred to in the early part of this article~

THE STIMSON FAMILY Jonathan Stimson of Watertown farms was admitted freeman, April 18, 1690, died intestate, .December 22, 1692. Witness in Court, Jonat.han, September 8, 1674, gave his age as thirty years. It is not known when he came to New England, or if he were born here. There were other Stimsons, and the name was sometimes spelled Stimpson, Stymson, or even Stevenson. Jonathan Stimson married Elizabeth, daughter of Joshua and Abigail (Benjamin) Stubbs. Elizabeth · married (2) a Bullard. According to guardianship records, Jonathan and Elizabeth had two sons, James and Samuel over twen­ ty-one years old; Elizabeth, eighteen; Rebecca, fifteen; Joseph, twelve; Benjamin about ten; Marah, eight. 85 THE KILPATRICK FAMILY Administration of the estate of Jonathan Stimson, January, the 6th Day, would place their births at: James, b. 1677. Samuel, b. 1679~ Elizabeth, b. 1682. Rebecca, b. 1685. Joseph, b: 1688. Benjamin, b. 1690. Marah, b. 1692. The widow died before 1727. Benjamin Stimson signs discharge to his brother, James, Weston, January 16, 1729, after death of mother. Abig~il Benjamin to James Stimson signs discharge regarding her mother Elizabeth Stimson's estate, May 26, 1727. James, eldest son of Jonathan and Elizabeth (Stubbs) Stimson, married, January 1, 1698/9, Bethiah, daugh­ ter of Samuel and Sarah (Barsham) Mansfield, who died February 18, 1744/5. They had eight children: Bethiah, b. 1711. )AMES, their son, b. December 8, 1702. No other names found. James, son of James and Bethiah (Mansfield) Stim­ son born December 8, 1702, int. to_ Sarah, daughter of Ephraim and Deborah (Stone) Cutter, May 1, 1729. She died September 6, 1734. They had a daughter, Anna, born November 27, 1733. Lemuel Jones and Anna Stimson, both. of Weston, were married January 23, 1754/5, in Weston. ''James Stimson and Bethiah Mansfield, both of Watertown, wear J oyned in marriage before me, Henry Gibbs on the: 4: of Jan: 1698/9." THE FIRST STUBBS FAMILY The English name Stubb means ''short.·· Joshua Stubbs first appeared in New England records as free­ man, at Watertown, May 2, 1649. He married around 86 THE BENJAMIN FAMILY 1641/2, Abigail, daughter of .. Mr." John and Abigail (Eddy) Benjamin. They had children: Samuel, b. August 3, 1642. Mary, b. May 2, 1655, m. March 24, 1674/5, John Traine. ELIZABETH, and probably others. Joshua Stubbs removed to Charlestown, and sold his homestall in Watertown in 1654, his wife's mother consenting. He died soon after, and his widow mar­ ried John Woodward. She was admitted to Charles­ town Church, January 9, 1656. Whether this Joshua Stubbs was in any way related to the other Stubbs family (Chart IX) has not been discovered. THE l?ENJAMIN FAMILY John Benjamin left his home in Hertfordshire, Eng­ land, 1632, to found a family in the new world. Various traditions of the origin of the family are current, but can be considered merely as traditions. John Benjamin was born about 1598, in England probably. Of his parents we have no knowledge, nor have we any record of him earlier than the year 1619, when he married Abigail, daughter of Rev. William Eddy (Eddye) of Cranbrooke, County Kent, Eng­ land. John Benjamin's home is said to have been in Lower Hereford. In June, 1632, with his wife Abigail, and several children, he sailed from Plymouth, England, in the ship Lion. John Benjamin was one of the proprietors of New Town (now Cambridge), Massachusetts. He was made freeman November 6, 1632, and was appointed Con­ stable, May 20, 163 3. He purchased six acres of land in New Town, on which he built a house of which Governor Winthrop wrote, ··Mr Benjamin's mansion was unsurpassed for elegance and comfort by any in the vicinity. It was 87 THE KILPATRICK FAMILY the mansion of intelligence, religion and hospitality, visited by the clergy of all denominations, and by the literati at home and abroad.,, On November 7, 1634, he was exempted from train­ ing, but · ·was required to have at all times arms for himself and servants.·· · Governor Winthrop said that Mr. Benjamin's house was burned April 7, 1636. John Benjamin died in Watertown, June 14, 1645. His will, made June 10, 1645, is in the handwriting of Governor Winthrop, and may be found in the Probate; Office of Suffolk County. ··I ,John Benjamin do give and bequeath'· · "to my sonne John;" .. to my beloved wife; ....The rest of my land goods and chattels: I will shall be equally divided between 7 other of my children." Abigail BenjamiQ, th~ widow of John Benjamin,\ probably made her home in Watertown until abou~ 1654, when she went with her daughter, Abigail, thei wife of Joshua Stubbs, to Charlestown. She died i~ the latter place May 20, 1687, aged eighty-seven years.i Abigail, daughter of John and Abigail (Eddy) BenJ jamin, born in England about 1624, married (1) be-' tween 1640 and 1644, Joshua Stubbs. He died, 1654 or 1655, and she married (2) John Woodward. ' There was another daughter, Mary, who died un­ married. THE EDDY FAMILY · The earliest ancestor of this family that we have been able to find was one WILLIAM EooYE, Vicar of Cranbrook, England. He was a graduate of Cam­ bridge University in 1586. In the following year he married, on November 20, Mary, daughter of John and Ellen (Munn) Foster. He was born in Bristol, England, between 1560 and 1565. In 1587, he was appointed Vicar of St. Dun­ stand Church, Cranbrooke, County of Kent, England. 88 THE EDDY FAMILY

He was the fourth non-conformist vicar at Cranbrooke, and remained in that position until 1616, the year of his death. His wife died July, 1611. They had chil­ dren, of whom three, John, Samuel and ABIGAIL came to America. August 10, .1630, John, with his wife, Amy Doget, and Samuel probably with his wife Elizabeth, left Eng­ land on the ship Handmaid, and on October 29, 1630, landed at Boston. John became a citizen of Water­ town. ABIGAIL married 1619, Mr. John Benjamin, and they probably came together in the ship Lion in 1632. St. Dunstan's Church, Cranbrook, ·Kent: The place name, Cranbrook, or Crane-brooke, is typically Anglo-Saxon, but whether a church existed there before the Norman Conquest it is impossible to day. The west front of the tower of St. Dunstan's Church is much admired. The porch and lower stages of the tower are fourteenth century work, the higher stages of the tower a little later; the arms above the niche are those of Archbishop Chichely, who was made Archbishop in 1414, and the tower was probably finished about that period, as the shield of arms appears to have been in­ serted after the tower was completed. The stone on which they are carved does not run in the same line of masonry. There are two Elizabethan alabaster monuments of fine de­ sign. One of these, on the north wall of the Chancel records Rev. Richard Fletcher, first Protestant vicar, who died 1585. He was vicar from October 17, 1561, until his death. Rev. William Eddye, M.A., was fourth Protestant Vicar of St. Dunstan· s ·Church, and served under Archbishop Whitgift, uncle of our ancestor, Captain Thomas Bradbury. Up to the year 1599, the Parish Register of St. Dunstan's had been written on paper, but in 1599, in accordance with a law to that effect, the old registers were copied afresh on parchment. William Eddye did this with his own hand. The writing is neat and scholarly, such as we associate with men who love books, and treat them with respect and almost reverence. He possessed also some skill in drawing and designing. His illuminations are poor, and even trivial compared with the work 89 THE KILPATRICK FAMILY of medieval artists, but far superior to the productions of average vicars, then and now. Rev. J achary of Detroit recently said of him: · 'One memorial of him survives, the old Parish Record Book of Births, Marriages and Burials, eighty pages of which are engrossed in William Eddye·s handwriting, the three title pages being highly illum­ inated.'' THE MANSFIELD FAMILY Robert Mansfield, born in Exeter, Devon, England, died October 16, 1666. He came to Massachusetts in 1636, and settled at Lynn. He was Constable in 1647. In June, 1650, with consent of his wife Elizabeth, in consideration of their son, Andrew, living with them "until ye time of his marriage, as a faithful and obe­ dient child,·· gave him a house and lot and six acres, besides large estates' in various parts of Lynn. His wife Elizabeth died September 6, 1673, aged eighty­ seven years, born 1586. Her will probated November 2_6, 1673. They had children : Andrew. Joseph, m. Elizabeth, daughter Edmund Gott. Elizabeth, m. --Tomson. John, in his will he mentions brother Andrew, and cousin Daniel Gott. Andrew Mansfield was born in England. He de­ posed in Court in Ipswich, 3-26-1661, he was about thirty-eight years, and an inhabitant of Lynn twenty­ two to twenty-three years. In another deposition, April 30, 1669, he said ··aged about forty-nine years." He was a farmer owning large tracts of land; the portion of the estate on which he resided was called Mansfield's End. In 1657, he was on a committee to lay out town lots. In 1666, he was chosen town re­ corder; in 1678, selectman; and in 1681, 1682 and 1683, Representative to General Court. His will, dated 1679, 90 THE MANSFIELD FAMILY mentions sons Andrew and Daniel, and daughters, Hannah, Bethiah, Lydia and Deborah. He married ( 1) Bethiah, who died 1672 ; (2) 1673, Mary, widow of John Neale, and daughter of Francis Lawes, who died June 27, 1681; (3) January 10, 1681/2, Elizabeth (Walton) Conant, mother of his son-in-law, John Conant. There is no mention of son Samuel in his will, yet all agree that Samuel was his son. As he married March 3, 1674, he must have been son of the first wife, and died of smallpox, April 10, 1679, before his father's will was made. Children of Andrew and Bethia Mansfield : SAMUEL, born before 1658, probably eldest child. Bethia, b. April 7, 165~; m. May 7, 1678, John Conant of Beverly. She died at Beverly 1720, aged 62 years. Lydia. b_ 1662_ Mary, b. 1660. Deborah, b. 1667. Daniel, b. 1669. Possibly a son Andrew and a daughter Hannah were by second wife, or born before 1658. No record found of them. Samuel Mansfield, son of Andrew and Bethiah Mansfield, married March 3, 1674, married Sarah, daughter of William and Annabel (Bland) Barsham, who married (2) -- Brown. She is mentioned in her father's will, 1684, as '"daughter Sarah Brown.'' Children of Samuel and Sarah: Andrew, b. January 4, 1674/5. BETHIAH, b. March 13, 1678/9. Sarah, b. 11-6-1676. BETHIAH, daughter of Samuel and Sarah (Barsham) Mansfield, married, JAMES STIMSON. 91 THE KILPATRICK FAMILY

THE BARSHAM FAMILY It is not known when William Barsham, immigrant ancestor, came to America. He resided in Watertown. He was one of a jury of inquest, September 28, 1630; member of trial jury "of life and death,,, September 19, 1637; Selectman, 1653; and was sometime sealer of weights and measures. Boston records mention three children: Susanna, b. 11-18-1641. Joshua, b. 15-1-1640. Anna (Hannah), b. 7-11-1637. In his will William Barsham mentions: Son, John Barsham; son, Nathaniel E,arsham; My daughter Hannah Spring. My daughter Susan\ Capen. · My daughter Sarah(J3rown. She had m. (1) Samuel Mans- field. My daughter Mary Bright. My daughter Rebecca Winship. My daughter Elizabeth Barsham. My loving ,friends Thomas Hanning and John Stone to be overseers. Will dated 1683-4. He died July 3, 1684.

THE BLAND FAMILY John Bland, alias Smith, came evidently with his mother to New England. He was brought up as John Smith, according to the testimony of Abraham Drake of Hampton, New Hampshire, that he knew John Smith in England, but that his true name was John Bland. He probably lived first in Watertown, as John Smith, but took his true name when he removed to Edgartown, Martha's Vineyard. His home in Watertown adjoined that of Jeremy Norcross, who married, in England (London), Sep­ tember 14, 1611, widow Audrey Smith. She was be­ lieved to be the mother of John Bland, who married 92 THE CUTTER FAMILY

(1) Bland; married (2) Smith; (3) Jeremy Norcross, and removed to New England. The John Smith property in Watertown came into possession of William Barsham. John Bland, in his will January 6, 1663, names his two daughters, Anna­ bel and Isabel.· ANNABEL BLAND, born in England about 1612, mar­ ried William Barsham, perhaps in England, just about the time (1630) he came to New England. Isabel, born in England about 1614, married (1) Francis Austin, of Hampton, New Hampshire, mar­ ried (2) Thomas Leavitt of Hampton.

THE CUTTER FAMILY This family has two lines coming down to us. The first and shorter line is in this group"(Chart V); while the longer line is in the Chart VII group. However, it seems the least confusing to handle each family that appears· more than once, completely in the first group in which it appears, with necessary references to the other groups. About 1635-1640, Elizabeth Cutter, widow of Sam­ uel Cutter, came to America with four of her children. It is probable they followed a daughter Joanna, and her husband, Robert Hales of Charlestown, who came to New England in 1630. · When ''Old Goodwife Cutter'' joined the church of Cambridge under Pastor Shepard, she testified that she "'knew neither father nor mother, but in Newcastle sojourned with a godly family. In later years lived with a sonne-in-law, Elijah Corlet, husband of her daughter Barbara, schoolmster of Cambridge.'' Sons William and RICHARD, and daughters Barbara and Isabel came with her. Her will was dated Feb­ ruary 16, 1662/3, proved April 5, 1664, in which she 93 THE KILPATRICK FAMILY

declares herself to have resided some twenty years with her daughter Barbery, wife of Mr. Elijah Corlet. She was called "aged eighty-seven .. when she died. Her son, William, freeman, 1637; about 1638 he owned a place "near the Great Bridge." He returned to England after seventeen years residence in America, and in 1653, resided at Newcastle-on-Tyne, evidently the former home, "at which date he empowered Ed­ ward Goffe, Elijah Corlett and John Sweetman of Cambridge, and Robert Hale "of Charlestown, to col­ lect debts due him in New England.·· He probably died without children, for· Richard Cutter, by deed,: June 10, 1693, six days before his own death, conveyed to his son William a house and lot in Cambridge; de~ scribing the premises as ''formerly the right and ptope(r estate of William Cutter'my brother, deceased, to me,

as my lawful right of inheritance. n RICHARD CUTTER came to New England, a minor, in company with his widowed mother. He was admitted: freeman, June 2, 1641; died, June 16, 1693. Richard Cutter resided in Menotomy, not far from the present center of Arlington. In 168 5, he purchased the John Rolfe mill, formerly called ··cook's Mill," which long remained in the family, and is still known as Cutter·s Mill. He was member of the Cambridge Church, in full communion, a cooper by trade, and a large owner, and was buried in Cambridge, aged sev­ enty-three years at his death. He married, about 1644, Elizabeth, daughter of Robert and Elizabeth (Stal­ ham) Williams, of Roxbury. She died March 5, 1661, her tombstone being one of the oldest now standing in Cambridge. He married, (2) 2-14-1662/3, Frances Perrimar, widow of Isaac Amsden, and she survived him. He had fourteen children, seven by each wife. By first wife: 94 THE CUTTER FAMILY

He died, April 1, 1723, and is buried beside his parents in Old Cambridge Cemetery, the stone still standing in 1871. His widow married (2) June 3, 1724, Deacon John Whitmore, and died Noven1ber 13, 1731. William Cutter willed to his son, Ammi Ruhamah, a house plot, education through two college degrees, including books, and a horse to ride. 95 THE KILPATRICK FAMILY Ammi Ruhamah, son of William and Rebecca (Rolfe) Cutter, baptized, May 6, 1705, married, Au­ gust 14, 1734, Dorothy (Chart VII), daughter of Jacob 'and Elizabeth (Stockman) Bradbury. He graduated from Harvard College in 1725, and was.ordained min­ ister at North Yarmouth, Maine, November 18, 1730, . being the first minister of that society. He was dis­ missed from the church in 173 5, on account of ··rank • Arminianism, · · and afterwards practiced as a physi- : cian. He was agent for the town of North Yarmouth in 1740, and seems to have been an important man in. town affairs. He was a Captain and was in command · of the Block House, in 1743. He died at Louisburg in the service of the Government, during the military : expedition of 1746. Dorothy, his wife, _wrote a letter ; to the Governor of the Province of Massachusetts ✓ Bay, : giving her reasons why she·'should not give up certain i lots in North Yarmouth, May 10, 1748, her husband\ being then dead.

WILLIAM, son of Ammi Ruhamah anq Dorothy (Bradbury) Cutter married Mehitable, daughter of Andrew and Phebe (Chandler) Gray. They had a daughter, SARAH, who married John Davis of Free­ port, Maine (Chart VII). 96 THE CUTTER FAMILY

Second line: Ephraim, son of Richard and Elizabeth (Williams) Cutter, born in 1651. He was a glazier. He married, February 11, 1678/9, Bethiah Wood, and resided in Cambridge, Charlestown and Weston. He drew pay as an officer in King Philip's War, and was pro!Jably the Captain Cutter who commanded a company in the expedition sent out .. to range the woods toward Hassanamsit," now Grafton, April 27, 1676. They succeeded in capturing small. parties of the enemy, among whom were some of considerable rank, but the season proved rainy, and-the troops were released for the recovery of their health, and returned for the most part to Boston. · Children of Ephraim, Senior, and Bethia Cutter: EPHRAIM.

THE WILLIAMS FAMILY This family appears twice, found in connection with the Cutter family, and so in Chart VII, as well as in this place. Robert Williams, the immigrant ancestor of this most prolific of Roxbury families, was the eldest son and second child of Stephen Williams, cordwainetj of Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, England, and his wife~ Margaret, daughter of Nicholas and Winifred (Web~ ster) Cooke of North Repps. They were married at St. Nicholas, Yarmouth, September 22, 1605, and theit son ROBERT was born July, 1607. Stephen was son of R9bert Williams of W. Somert ton, of a sixteenth century family, whose record reache~ back into considerable antiquity. Robert was born before July 24, 1607, as on July 24~ 1628, he was of legal age, and was appointed admint istrator of the estate of his uncle, Thomas Cooke~ whose will was dated November 3, 1623, and wh@ appointed Robert's parents executors. Both his parents and all the younger children dieq1 in the plague in 162 5, and J ohane, widow of Thoma~ was appointed. She evidently did not settle the estat~ as a paper attached to the will of Thomas, dated J ult 24, 1607, revokes the administration granted tojohan~ Cooke, ··in favor of Robert Williams, son of saiq Stephen and Margaret Williams.·' I Rev. William Williams, of Hatfield, wrote in his family record, '. Sept. 1, 1693, ( died) my grandfather, Mr. Robert Williams, aet. eighty-six. He was bap~ tized December 11, 1608, at St. Nicholas, Yarmouth. He was twice married. His first wife was apparently some ten years older than he.'' Rev. William Williams 98 THE WILLIAMS FAMILY wrote in same record as above, ··July 1674, my grand­ mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Williams, whose maiden name was Stalham. · · The records say she was then eighty years old. In the records of St. George, Tombland, Norwich, we read: '"I 597, Elisabeth-Stalham fuit baptizat XJ November, 1597." Stephen Williams was buried September 19, 1625; his wife, September 13, 162 5. Robert Williams left his father's house in 1623, and went to Norwich, where he ·paid to Edward Aynesworth, ··rforen receiver" a sum of money in order to be apprenticed to a Norwich cordwainer, this being also his father's trade. He was apprenticed to John Garrett, ··cordyner" for seven years. On the expiration of his apprenticeship he was admitted ··rfreeman" of the City of Norwich, and was no longer a ··rforener. ·· Five years later he was elected warden of his guild, and was also ··searcher and sealer of leather" for the City. Two years later, April 8, 1637, he was examined according to royal act, and received permission to emigrate. On April 15, 1637, he em­ barked with his wife Elizabeth, and four children, and two servants, on the Rose of Yarmouth, and reached Boston, June twentieth, the same year. He settled in Roxbury. An interesting letter from Mr. Edward H. Williams, Jr., of Woodstock, Vermont, gives some light on the family: .. Elisabeth Stalham and a brother John were baptized together. The only Stalhams in Norwich were John, and his father, Christopher. Both were jurats (aldermen) of Norwich. These jurats selected the city officials of the Guilds, and the power went from father to son, and to the husbands of the daughters. So when Robert Williams, a 'foreigner· (simply from outside the city of Norwich) blossoms out as a jurat of Norwich, and leather searcher and sealer of the city, as Junior Warden of the Cordwainers, it is evident that he had married the daughter of a jurat. The John baptized with her was John, son of John, and so would indicate her a daughter of John and Alicia (Gibson) Stalham. John was a mason, as was Christopher. 99 THE KILPATRICK FAMILY

··These jurats were wealthy men. Norwich was as large as, and more wealthy than, London. You can understand how wealthy East Anglia was, when you hear that Bishop Wren (Hanam·s ·worst of the Bench") sent 14,000 guildmen fleeing into Holland to escape the Star Chamber, the most from Norwich . .. Robert Williams came to New England in preference to Hol­ land, to escape Bishop Wren, perhaps through failure to observe some form of ceremony or to attend the morning services at the Cathedral. Michael Metcalf, who came over with Robert, tells of his sorrows, how his wife hid him in the hatch of the house, else his ears would have been minus. ··5o we can imagine our beloved ancestress reared in the wealthiest city in England, in the richest and most powerful society in the city, married to a young man who takes his place among the city lords, but who dislikes the methods of the tyran­ nical Bishop Wren. And so they go forth, but not into the wilder­ ness, for the wealth of Roxbury was well known, and our ancestor Dea. Parke, two of whose daughters married sons of Robert, had been the first to bring a letter across. So gentle Elisabeth came, and now sleeps in the old cemetery where Washington St. makes a tum in Roxbury. ··sincerely yours, ··E. H. WILLIAMS, JR... Robert and his brother Nicholas, the only survivors of the plague· in the Williams family, both settled in Roxbury. They were no doubt men of means, the sole heirs of well-to-do parents. Robert was freeman of the colony, May 10, 1643; selectman; and original donor to Free Schools. He was clerk of Roxbury, and received land near Dorchester Brook for his services. His wife, Elisabeth, died in Roxbury, July 28, 1674. He mar­ ried (2) Margaret, widow of John Fearing of Highham; she died December 22, 1690.

Tl-IE WOOD FAMILY Nicholas Wood, of Dorchester and Braintree, Free­ man 6-2-1641. There is much dispute as to the wife of Nicholas Wood. Her name was Mary, and she died February 19, 1663, and he married (2) Anna. He died February 7, 1670. He was a member of the church at Braintree. It is claimed he iparried, 1644, Mary, daughter of Robert Williams (see Williams record above). She was born 1619. The only record concernirig his wife follows.

THE STONE FAMILY This family claims an unbroken line back to William atte Stone, of Ardleigh, England, who was born about 1365, died 1430. His son Walter atte Stone was born in the same place, about 1390, died 1431, leaving a son John, born about 1420, died 1487. This John atte Stone had a son .. Simon Stone" who lived at Ardleigh and Bromleigh. This Simon was born 1450; his will dated 1506; married Elizabeth; they had a son David Stone, of Great Bromley, born 1480, living in 1543; wife unknown. They in turn had a son Simon Stone, born 1507;willdatedJuly28, 1557;mar­ ried Agnes and had a son David Stone, born 1540; liv- 102 THE STONE FAMILY ing in 1597; married ( 1) Elizabeth and by her had sev­ eral children; married (2) August 23, 1585, Ursula, and by her had Ursula, born 1588; Simon, born 1585 /6, came to America; Mary, born 1590; Gregory, born 1592, came to America, married the widowed mother of John Cooper, and had six children. Simon Stone, who was born at Much Bromley, Es­ sex, England, in 1585/6 (see above), married Joan, daughter of William Clarke, August 5, 1616. In the spring of 1635, he embarked with his family, at Lon­ don, on the ship Increase, "to be transported to the plantation" then just begun in the vicinity of Boston. With him were his wife, Joan, aged thirty-eight years, and five children, all under age. He settled at Water­ town, on the banks of the river Charles, the part now called Mt. Auburn. A considerable part of the land now occupied by M·t. Auburn and Cambridge ceme­ teries once belonged to him. Simon Stone was made freeman in 1636; was deputy to the General Court, 1636 to 1656, and was deacon for many years. He took an active part in town affairs. He died September 22, 1665,- aged about eighty years. His wife Joan died, and about 1654 he married Sarah, widow of Richard Lumpkin of Ipswich. His children, all by his first wife, except Ann who died before him, were named in his will. They were : Simon. John, b. 15-6-1635. Elizabeth, b. 1639, must have died young. Deacon John, son of Simon and Joan (Clarke) Stone, born in Watertown, June 15, 163 5. He was selectman in 1674, 1681, 1682-87, and 1690. Town Clerk, 1687 and 1690. He was released from training January 9, 1687, aged 52 years, which confirms the date of his birth as the year the family landed in America. He married Sarah, youngest daughter of Samuel and Anne 103 THE KILPATRICK FAMILY

THE BASS FAMILY Samuel Bass, with wife Ann, came to Roxbury, Massachusetts, about 1630. Their names are among the earliest enrolled as members of the First Church of Roxbury, which roll was gathered as early as 1632. He was admitted freeman, May 14, 1634. In 1640, ht removed to Braintree (part now Quincy), and was ad­ mitted member of that church, having been dismissed 104 THE RUSSELL FAMILY and recommended to them by the church in Roxbury, July 5, 1640. He was chosen and ordained the first deacon of the church of Braintree. Deacon.Bass was a man of strong and vigorous mind and one of the·leading men of the town for many years. In 1641, and subsequently, he represented the town in the General Court, serving twelve years. · Children of Samuel and Ann Bass : Samuel. Hannah. Mary. John, b. 1632; d.

Mrs. Ann Bass, aged 93, died Sep­ tember 5, 1693. SARAH BASS married Deacon John Stone of Watertown, date not given, but had a daughter, Sarah, born August 1, 1663.

THE RUSSELL FAMILY The Russell family has figured notably in New Eng­ land life and affairs since the middle of the seventeenth century. Several immigrants of this name left England in the early decades of the colonization period, and be- 105 THE KILPATRICK FAMILY came founders of families here, which have spread to every part of the United States. One of these was John Russell, Senr., but whence he came or the date of his coming are not known. He was one of the proprietors of Cambridge in ·1635, and one of the Cambridge grantees of Shawshine, where he had eighty acres. He was in Charlestown in 1640, where he was one of the signers (the only Russell) of the ··Town orders" for the new town which was called Woburn. Here he made his home, being one of the founders and earliest inhabitants. John Russell was freeman 3-3-1635/6. By occupa­ tion he was a shoemaker, and for several years with­ out interruption was chosen to the responsible office of sealer of leather of Woburn. He was a selectman for several successive yea~. He is also mentioned in that year as a deacon in the church, and was also .. Clerk of the Write." He became a member of the first Baptist Church in Boston in 1670. He was called a ··teaching elder,'' but seems never to have been pas:.. tor of the church. In connection with John· Russell, Sr. and Jr., in· the troubles of the early Baptists, the history of the Baptists in New England 'mentions Thomas Gould, Seth Sweetzer, Gooding, and others of our ancestors, all except the Russells being found in Chart VIII. John Russell married before coming to New Eng­ land, Elizabeth, who was the mother of his children. She died 12-16-1644, and he married (2) 5-13-1645, Elizabeth Baker who survived him, and died 1-17- 1689/90. He died 6-1-1676. The nuncupative will dated 27th of 3rd mo. 1676, of John Russell, Sr., of Woburn, mentions his beloved wife Elizabeth Russell, son John, and daughter Mary Brooks. Children of John, Sr., and Elizabeth Russell: John, Jr. Mary, m. --Brookes. 106 THE RUSSELL FAMILY

John Russell, Jr., was born around 1640. He mar­ ried October 31, 1661, Sarah, daughter of John Champ­ ney of Cambridge. She died in Woburn, April 25, 1696. He was chosen repeatedly in Woburn as sealer of leather. He was admitted to the Baptist Church in Boston some months before his father, and was or­ dained a Baptist minister, as successor to Elder Gould, to the pastoral charge of the First Baptist Church in Boston, July 28, 1679. At this time he removed from Woburn to Boston. The records of the births of his children appear in Woburn till 1677/8, and his taxes there till January, 1679; after that Woburn records do not mention him. His widow Sarah's death is recorded, September 25, 1696, and after her husband's death she returned to Woburn. Elder Russell did not remain long in his sacred office, for he died December 21, 1680. He apparently died without a will, and his estate was administered by his widow. Baptist History says of him, ''It is evident that the gifts and graces of Elder Russell were not small, and his memory is precious.·· Inscription on his gravestone in King's Chapel Burial Ground, in Boston : · 'Here layeth buried ye body of John Russell, aged 40 years, departed this life Dec. 22, 1680 ...

The week before came out the Anabaptist 'Narrative· in print, published by that Russell, wherein they glory that in the time of small-pox none of them have died." Only two copies of the ~arrative above referred to are known to be in existence. One of them in Crozer Theological Seminary, Pennsylvania. 107 THE KILPATRICK FAMILY

Search in England for the place of John Russell's birth has yielded no definite results. -

THE CHAMPNEY FAMILY John Champney was in Cambridge as early as 1638, living in that part of the town now Brighton, where also the Sparhawk family lived. His wife's name was Joanna. He was recorded as Elder Champnis. We do not know who his English ancestors were. His widow married before 1642, Golden Moore, and died 2-18- 1675 /6. They had three children, all baptized, but no birth or baptismal dates are given: Mary, m. May 2, 1664, Theophilus Richardson of Woburn. SARAH. . John, d. unm.

No relationship given between Richard Champney and John. Sarah, daughter of John and Joanna Champney, married October 31, 1661, John Russell, Jr., the Bap­ tist minister. She died April 25, 1696. 109 THE KILPATRICK FAMILY THE PALMER FAMILY The barest outline of this family is all yet found They were a seafaring family, and the ··first John'' must have been a very old man. John Palmer, first of Boston, had a wife Audrey. Hf was living December 28, 1705, when he administered the estate of son John, who died intestate before Dec cember 28, 1705. This son's wife was possibly Abishag. He had in tun ason,JohnPalmer, third, fisherman, born around 1635, married Elizabeth, daughter of Andrew Alger of Dun■ stan, Maine; will dated July 2, 1707. They had, bJ the mother's will, five daughters: Alice, m. Joseph Covell. Elizabeth, m. John Russell, Third. A daughter, m. Elias:Totman. Abigail, probably unmarried. Arminal, probably unmarried; her will administered Aug­ ust 21, 1732. The will ofJohn Palmer leaves all to his ··wife Eliza­ beth Palmer.··

THE ALGER FAMILY

On the coast of Maine were two Alger brothers1 Arthur and Andrew. Andrew came over from England with John Winter, and after his time with Winter wm expired became a fishing master himself, having hi~ home on Prout's Neck. He is also called ··of Stratton·~ Island,·· a name for Scarboro. He had a grant in Saco, but led a company to withdraw to Dunstan. He prob-

ably came in the first of Winter's ships, Sinnamon1 1631-2, arriving about April 17, 1632, and is first named as ···left by Mr. Winter in 1632, to keep possession." Arthur Alger, Lieut., did not come over until later. He was ··about 45" in 1670. The name was sometimes 110 THE ALGER FAMILY spelleq Auger, as according to an old English rule, l after a is pronounced as w. The two brothers bought, in 1651, of the Indians, a tract of land of about 1,000 acres, to which they gave the name of Dunston in memory of their old home in England, and this name is still borne by the flourish­ ing village that has arisen there. ANDREW ALGER was a juryman in 1640; constable in 1661; at one time a selectman. By occupation he was a fisherman. Reference is made in records to ··a marsh between Dunstan ?nd Blue Point, claimed by the settlers, and disputed by one Foxwell, November, 1668.·· Those living on the marsh in August of that year were Andrew Alger, son John, Matthew, young­ est Andrew, sons Arthur Alger and John Palmer, and others . .. Mr. R. Foxwell, John Smith, G. Barlow, J. West, being at the house of Andrew Alger at Dunstan, he being the first inhabitant there, these men made an agreement to live at Dunstan together, with forfeiture to the others if not built on in a year and a day.·· Andrew Alger married Agnes, who was born 1621, so married some years after his landing in New Eng­ land. No trace of her ancestry has been found. They had children : John, b. 1641. A daughter, m. John Ashton, and died soon after, leaving no children. ELIZABETH, b. 1644. Joanna, b. 1650; m. (1) Elias Oakman; (2) John Mills; living 1727. Andrew, killed by Indians in 1689, left a daughter Dorcas. Matthew, m. Martha Carver. He d. in the service of the country. In the month of October, 1675, an attempt was made by the Indians to destroy the Alger garrison house, they with two of their relatives being in the house at the time collecting their goods 111 THE KILPATRICK FAMILY to carry for better security to Black Point. The Indians, failing to capture the garrison, retired into the woods, after burning the empty houses of Andrew's sons-in-law, one of whom was JOHN PALMER. But in the attack they had accomplished more than they were aware of, for Andrew was shot dead, and Arthur mor­ tally wounded, so that he died at the house of William Sheldon in Marblehead on the fourteenth day of the month. Arthur's widow went to Boston where she married the innkeeper, SAMUEL WALKER, of Woburn. Arthur Alger had no children. . ELIZABETH, daughter of Andrew and Agnes Alger, , married a young fisherman from Boston, named John •

Palmer. They later returned to Boston, and both died i there. THE KENDALL FAMI·LY .

The name Kendall means ''Ken-dale,·· probably the 1 valley of the Ken River, England. / : Two lines of this farriily unite in this chart, descen-: dants of Deacon Thomas Kendall and his brother,: Francis, supposed to be sons of a Henry Kendall of· England. Francis Kendall was born in Kent, England. He was in Charlestown in 1640, and was one of the subscribers to the ·'Town Orders·· of Woburn, December 18 of that year. He was taxed among the earliest inhabitants of Woburn in 1645. · In the old registry of the town of Woburn an entry reads: "Francis Kendall, alias Miles, and Mary Tidd, mar­ ried 24th of the 10th mo. 1644.'' Mary was daughter of John Tidd. It is claimed that Francis Kendall left England against the wishes of his parents, using the name of Miles until he was settled in this country. Francis Kendall was made a freeman May 26, 1647, and released from ordinary training in 1657. He de- 112 THE KENDALL FAMILY posed in December, 1658, that he was about 38 years of age, which would place his birth in 1620. In 1662, however, he made affidavit that his age was about 48 years, and so born about 1614. He served the town as selectman for eighteen years, and held numerous other offices. He owned and operated a corn mill in Woburn, being a miller by trade. The mill now on the old Ken­ dall homestead was built by Samuel Kendall in 1700, and is near the location of the first mill, built by Francis. This mill has been ever since in possession of ~is pos- terity. _ FRANCIS KENDALL, SR., died in 1708, when, accord­ ing to a testimony given by him in court in 1700, he must have been 88 years of age. This agrees with his deposition in 1658. His wife, Mary Tidd, died in 1705. His will is dated May 9, 1706, and mentions "his sonsJohn, Thomas, and Samuel;'' ''my three daughters, Mary Read, Hannah Green, and Eunice, the wife of my son John Kendall;'' ''the eight daughters of his brother, Thomas, who were living when his said brother died ...

Their son Thomas Russell mar­ ried Hepzibah Nichols, granddaughter of her father's cousin Abigail Kendall, who was the daughter of Dea­ con Thomas Kendall of Reading. DEACON THOMAS KENDALL, an original settler and proprietor of Reading, in 1644, removed to that place from Lynn. He was a brother of Francis Kendall, of Woburn. He was admitted freeman May 10, 1648, and was a deacon and a selectman for many years. He married Rebecca Payne, whose ancestry is not found. Their children were: Elizabeth, b. 1642; m. John Eaton.

These daughters, in order to preserve their maiden name among their posterity, were directed by their mother, each of them when married, that her first son should be named Kendall, as Kendall Pierson, Ken­ dall Boutwell, etc., which was done. Deacon Thomas died intestate in 1681, and his sons-in-law appeared in court to report their administration. They mention, "Our mother, Rebecca Kendall,,. also ··Bro. Samuel Dunton ...

THE NICHOLS FAMILY This name is a derivative of the Christian name Nicholas or Nichol. Richard Nichols, immigrant ancestor, was first re­ corded in Ipswich, as freeman in 1638. He may have been in New England a year or two before that. His name appears as witness before the General Court, December 1, 1640. His sixth child was born in Ipswich, November 26, 1660, and two others are recorded there. It is probable he also married there. His wife was Annis. March 21, 1658, he purchased of Edward Bragg, land on the south side of the river. He removed to Reading sometime prior to 1666. His wife Annis was admitted to the church at Reading from the Ipswich church in 1666. She died August 24, 1692. He died November 22, 1674. In his will he bequeaths to "wife Annis;" ··sons John, Thomas and J arnes; · · ·· daughters Mary and Hannah.·' JOHN, son of Richard and Annis Nichols, born about 1651; married ABIGAIL, daughter of DEACON THOMAS KENDALL. Both died in 1721. Two of their children are known. Kendall, b. July 18, 1686. Richard.

HEPZIBAH, daughter of Richard and Abigail (Damon) Nichols, born February 28, 1720/1; marriage intention published May 7, 1742, to Thomas Russell. Both Hepzibah and Thomas were Kendall descendants, third cousins. She died December 25, 1807, aged 87 years. He dieq at Weston, May 7, 1792. His grave­ stone is the oldest in the burying ground at Weston.

THE SHERMAN FAMILY This is an occupational name, having to do with the clothing industry, a contraction of shear-man. With but one exception, so far as known, all the Shermans who came to New England, 1630 to 1640, were descendants of the family living in the four neigh­ boring villages of Diss, Y axley, Colchester and Ded­ ham, in England. · John Sherman, of Yaxley, attorney-at-law, married Agnes, daughter of John Fuller, which is also a name connected with the clothing industry. His will dated August 10, 1504, proved December 12, 1504, names children: THOMAS and Margery, both under 16 in 15 04. Margery m. Thomas Lockwood. Thomas Sherman, under age in 1504, born 1490; married (1) Margaret Thoralde, of Thornham, married (2) Jane, daughter of John Waller, Wortham, Suffolk.

Edmund Sherman, born 1572, went to Watertown, Massachusetts, then to New Haven, Connecticut, where he died in 1641. He married Grace, daughter of Tobias· Makin, and had a daughter Grace who mar­ ried John Livermore, named in RICHARD Sherman's will. John and Ann (Sherman) Angier married 1601, had a daughter Mary, born 1603; died 1643; married Da. Nathaniel Sparhawke, who located in Cambridge, Massachusetts, before 1634. Ann Angier died 1625.

His widow, Elizabeth, married (2) Thomas Robin­ son, as his third wife, and died in 1667. Her will, dated August 21, 1666, proved November, 1667, mentions her former husband, Richard Sherman, and Samuel Damon, son of John Damon of Reading. Abigail, daughter of Richard and second Elizabeth Sherman, married I 645, Samuel Damon, of Reading.

THE DAMON FAMILY Deacon John Damon, one of the early settlers of Reading, Massachusetts, at or soon after the incorpor­ ation of the town, was born in Reading, Berkshire Co., England; baptized there June 25, 1620, as appears on the record of St. Lawrence Church Register, Reading, ""John, son of John." In 1633, being then a lad of thirteen years, he came to America, and found employment in the vicinity of 122 THE FIRST DAVIS FAMILY

Nahant, in the township of Lynn, where he resided till about 1644, when he came to the Town of Reading, which included what had been known for several years as Lynn Village. He settled on Cowdrey· s Hill in Wake­ field. Next year, 1645, he registered as a freeman. He married at this time, Abigail, daughter of RICH­ ARD SHERMAN, a wealthy merchant of Boston, and one of its leading citizens. She was admitted to the church at Reading in 1648. At an early period he was chosen one of the Deacons of the church, and it is cl~imed that it was owing to his influence that the new town took the name of Read­ ing, from the place of his birth. He was appointed Lieutenant of Reading Company in 1676. He died in 1708 ; Abigail died 1713. John and Abigail· had : John, who died January 14, 1651. John, b. March 18, 1652. Abigail . .. Abiah," b.

He married Mary, daughter of George and Sarah (Clark) Davis. He died January 12, 1723/4, in his 68th year. She died November 29, 1727, in 70th year (gravestone). ABIGAIL, daughter of Samuel and Mary (Davis) Damon, married November 26, 1706, Richard, son of John and Abigail (Kendall) Nichols. She died 1705.

THE FIRST DAVIS FAMILY George Davis and his wife, Sarah Clark, were par­ ents of Mary Davis, who married Samuel Damon. He was first in Lynn, but removed to Reading. He was 123 THE KILPATRICK FAMILY

freeman in 1647, a church member, and a selectman. He was a mariner. George Davis had a first wife, name unknown, evidently widow of Edmund Audley, and who had a daughter by her first husband. They ap­ parently had sons Benjamin and Joseph, mentioned in the father's will, and old enough to share in his ven­ tures as a mariner, and to be executors of his will. He married (2) Sarah, sister or daughter of William· Clark. They had : Hannah, b. in Lynn May 31, 1650; m. 1669, John Boutells. Sarah, b. in Lynn September 1, 1651; m.

THE FIELD FAMILY As early as 1068, Hubertus de la Feld held lands in the County of Lancaster, probably granted to him for service to William in the Conquest. In the twelfth year of Henry I, John de la Feld appears as owner of lands in the same County. The name of Robertus de la Feld appears in Parlia­ mentary writs in 1316, as one of the Lords of the Town­ ship of Hardwicke, County Gloucester; and in the same 124 THE FIELD FAMILY year John de Fielde was one of the Lords of the Town­ ship of Chelsham, Surrey. The de la F elds were common up to the time of Rich­ ard I I, but after that the name began to be changed, by dropping '' de la.·· The first appearance of the name of Field without the prefix is in Yorkshire. The earli­ est mention of the name in that neighborhood is that of William Field, whose estate was administered by his wife, Katherine Field, April 21, 1480. Half a century·later the Felds and Fields were estab­ lished at several points near Bradford, the home of William and Katherine, including the father of John Field, the astronomer at Ardsley. So in Hereford, a country very rich in ancient fam­ ilies, where is frequent mention of the de la Fields in the reign of Edward 'the First, the Fields appear to be numerous in Queen Elizabeth's time. The fifteenth century finds the name of Field gen­ erally substituted for the older forms. In the County of Essex late in the sixteenth century one William Field, Esq., married Arabella, daughter of Earl Rivers. In 1753, John Field of London married Anne, great­ granddaughter of Oliver Cromwell. The records of the Heralds College show families of Field credited to wear arms in Hereford, Somerset, Gloucester, and in Yorkshire. In the parishes of Mid­ dlesex appears the name of Sir Thomas Field; and Sir Charles Ventris Field, who died about the beginning of this century. The English ancestry of the Field family, with due regard for errors so common in records going back to the Conqueror, seems to be as follows: Roger de la Feld, born Sowerby, England, about 1240, descendant from Sir Hubertus de la Feld, and the he~d of the family which settled in Counties Lan- 125 THE KILPATRICK FAMILY caster and Kent, England. He married, and had two children: Richard, b. about 1276. THOMAS, b. about 1278. THOMAS married and had John and Adam. John de la Feld, born Sowerby, 1300, had one son, Thomas, born 1330, at Sowerby, and married Annabelle. They had Thomas, born 1360, at Sowerby, and married Isabel. They had: Robert. William. William Field, born at or removed to Bradford. He married Katherine. He died and administration granted to his wife, Katherine, April 21, 1480. They had: WILLIAM. John. William Field, born Bradford, England, lived at East Ardsley, and had children: Richard, m. Elizabeth. Thomas. JOHN. Rev.John Field, born near Bradford, England, about 1519, rector of Cripplegate; died March 26, 1587/8. He had children: Theophilus, b. 1-22-1574; m. Alice. JOHN, JR. Nathaniel, b. 6-13-1581; died young. Nathaniel, b. 10-17-1587; m. Anne. Three other sons and a daughter. John Field, Junior, born Parish of St. Giles, Lon­ don, about 1579, married in Boston, England, 8-13- 1609, Ellen Hutchinson. They had: DARBY, b. about 1610. Henry, b. about 1611. Robert, b. about 1613; m. Mary Stanley. Richard, b. about 1615. 126 THE FIELD FAMILY Darby Field, immigrant ancestor, came to Boston, Massachusetts, in 1636; removed to Exeter, New Hampshire, 1638; to Dover before 1648. Darby Field, son of John and Ellen (Hutchinson) Field, came to New England, so family tradition says, ··to escape religious and political persecution.·· His home was on Oyster River Point, as early as 1639. He signed the Dover Combination, April 3, 1638. He traveled in Maine, with two Indians, up the Saco Val­ ley in 1642, and was the first white man to climb the White Mountains to the highest point, now called Mt. Washington. He was still living at Oyster River in 1645. He con­ veyed, July 16, 1645, his house and lot, except the width of a lot in possession of Thom~s Willy. Thomas Willy deposed in 1680, that he had lived at Oyster River forty years, and Darby Field was ··in peaceable possession there before him.·· Ambrose Gibbons was appointed to administer Dar­ by's estate, October 1, 1651. His widow, Agnes, mar­ ried (2) William Williams, as a deed, and other records show. Children of Darby and Agnes Field : Joseph, b. 1639; d. unm. ZACHARIAS, b. 1646; m. Sarah Roberts. SARAH, b. 1643; m. John DREW. Elizabeth, m. January 28, 1663, Stephen Jones. Mary, m. July 15, 1656, Capt. John Woodman. Zachari~ Field, born 1646, married the daughter of Marshall John Roberts. Their son, John Field, mar­ ried his cousin, the daughter of Lieutenant John and Sarah (Field) Drew (daughter of Darby). The town records, December 15, 173 5, show ten acres of land allowed to John Field, Junior, in the divi­ sion of common lands, was laid out to him on the west side of his father ·s land. 127 THE KILPATRICK FAMILY In 1762, administration on the estate of John Field was granted to his son John Field. James Field appeared in Portland in 1771, where he probably came to work for Captain Peter Warren, who had come from Somersworth. He was Captain Francis Warren's brother. Two of the sons of Benjamin War­ ren of Somersworth were captains in the Revolution; also our James Field and his brother Joseph were soldiers in that war. James Field's mother, Mary Warren, was a sister of Benjamin Warren of Somers­ worth, and aunt of Captain Francis of Somersworth, and Captain Peter of Portland.

Benjamin Warren of Somersworth was very successful as a 1 tanner and shoemaker. Capt. Peter in Portland followed the same two occupations, and James Field and his two brothers all followed the same callings, and furthermore an aged man here in Yarmouth points out to rrie where Samuel Warren. who was a native of Somersworth, had his tanyard, and came to Yarmouth and married a niece of James Field's wife, both Trues, and settled three houses away from James Field. It is all so consistent and believable that Mr. Benjamin War­ ren, the founder of the Somersworth family of Warrens, took an interest in his sister's children, whose father was not a very thrifty man, employed them in his business, and gave them thorough instruction in his two trades; that Joseph and James removed from Somersworth to Portland and worked for their cousin, Capt. Peter Warren, in the same two trades; that James got acquainted in Yarmouth (he was .. of Falmouth" in his intention of marriage) with Abigail True, married and settled there, followed by his brother Joseph, who also married a Yarmouth girl; and that Sam... uel Warren, b. in Somersworth, was a son of Capt. Francis and Elizabeth (Field) Warren,. came to Yarmouth to visit his Uncle James, fell in love with his aunt's niece, and married and settled in the neighborhood. I have heard from Mrs. Hutchinson of Brewer, and she sent me the family record of Samuel Warren, b. in Somersworth, August 9, 1781: ''He settled in the house next door to my house to the West, and James Field lived the second house from me to the East. I think Samuel Warren, who had a tanyard, and was a shoemaker, was the son of Capt. Francis and Elizabeth (Field) Warren, and came to Yarmouth to work for 128 THE FIELD FAMILY-,

his Uncle,. J arnes Field. He married a True, living a few houses away. Zacharias, son of Darby and Agnes Field, born 1646, married as early as 1677, Sarah, daughter of John and Abigail (Nutter) Roberts. He was sel_ectman in 1~95, and was still Uving in 1711 . They had : ·l/~J1,iZachariah, b.June 30, 1686; m. 1-12-1709, Hannah Evans. He was Ensign in 1711; d. 1756, and left two sons. Daniel, b. 8-9-1690; m. before 1734, Sarah. Abigail, b. 10-24-1697; m.

THE ROBERTS FAMILY Thomas Roberts, ~ccording to a deposition made by himself, was bprn .in England about 1600. He _¢ame to Dover, New_ Hampshire, among the earliest.·. Jradi-· tion has it,that he came with the Hiltons and settled on Hilton's Point in 1623, and is probably true. That his wife REBECCA was a sister of Edward Hilton was .probably true. He married soon after 1623. As to his ancestry: At the unveiling of a gravestone to Gov. Thomas Roberts the town genealogist said, in his address, that Sir Thomas Roberts of Glastonbury, England, b. in 1650, had several sons. The eldest son, who inherited the title, was Sir Walter Roberts. His brother, Thomas Roberts, b. 1600, is sup-. posed, on good authority, to be ·the Thomas Roberts who emi­ grated to New England, as he was the only or;ie of the name in all New England at that time. The genealogy of a Roberts family in England has been traced back to 1482. Among the descend~ts in one Sir Thomas Roberts of Glastonbury, b. 1560, buried February 20,. 1627; Knighted July 23, 1603 ; created a Baronet, July 3, 1620; Sheriff of Kent, 1623; married Frances, daughter of Martin James, Esq., of Imar­ den; she died February, 1648. They had children: Sir Walter Roberts, eldest son and heir. Thomas, "emigrated somewhere." Frances. William, emigrated to M~ryland, and has distinguished de­ scendants there. John. Ann. 131 THE KILPATRICK FAMILY There is no proof, but a probability, that the second son, Thomas, who ··emigrated somewhere,·· was the Thomas Roberts who helped to colonize Dover, and settled at Hilton's Point in 1623. He l?ter moved farther up the Neck, and located on the bank of Fore River. Land which he occupied has been retained in the Roberts family for more than two centuries. In 1638, the people of Dover chose Mr. Roberts · 'President of the Court.·· This office he held until Dover was annexed to Massachusetts, and for a while thereafter. He was elected to various minor offices in the town, and received several grants of land. He made his will September 27, 1673, and it was proved, June 30, 1674. The exact date of his death is not known, but of course was between these dates. He left the bulk of hi$' property to Richard Rich, husband of his daughter Sarah, and various legacies to the children below mentioned. His children were: JoHN, b. 1629, in Dover. Thomas, b. 1633; m. Mary, daughter of Thomas Layton, and left issue. Hester, m. John Martin and was in New Jersey in 1673. Ann, m. James Philbrick of Hampton. Elizabeth, m. Benjamin Heard of Cocheco. Sarah, m. Richard Rich, who had the homestead. John, son of Thomas and Rebecca Roberts, married Abigail, daughter of Elder Hatevil Nutter. She was living in 1674, and is mentioned in the will of her father. John is described in old records as planter, and is sometimes referred to as Sergeant John Roberts. He served some years between 1664 and 1677, and was appointed Marshal of the Province in 1679, when New Hampshire became a separate Province. From that time he is known in the records as Marshal Roberts. 132 THE NUTTER FAMILY In 1689, he was one of the Commissioners from Dover to the New Hampshire Convention, which met at Port­ land to confer about methods of government. A large part of his life he was the drill master of the Dover soldiers. In the second Indian War he became a Lieutenant .. Throughout his life he was very active in public affairs. He settled his affairs in his lifetime and left no will, nor was there any probate of his estate. From 1691 to 1694 he gave deeds to his children and grand­ children: August 6, 1691, to his grandsons, William Roberts and John Roberts, sons of his sonJ ohn, deceased, mentioning their mother, Mary. The same date to his son-in-law ZACHARIAH FIELD. March 24, 1691/2 .. property willed by Father Nutter to my wife,·· he deeds to John and Abigail Hall. In another deed he speaks of .. my son Hall." November 29, 1694, to his sons, Thomas, Hatevil and Joseph. By deposition he was forty-three years of age in October, 1671. SARAH, daughter of John and Abigail (Nutter) Roberts, mar- ried Zachariah, son of Darby and Agness Field. A tax list, Dover, made October 16, 1664, refers to .. Sackrey Field." . THE NUTTER FAMILY Hatevil Nutter, an elder and occasional preacher, was born in England in 1603, ··or thereabouts,·· as ap­ pears in a deposition of the Eider's when he once tes­ tified regarding some disputed land titles~ He was one of the company "of good estates and of some account for religion·· who were induced to leave England with Captain Wiggans in 163 5, and to found, on Dover Neck a "compact town, .. which never materialized farther than "High Street" and "Dirty Lane... He took a lot in 1637, which was rebounded in 1640. In 1643 he had a grant between Lamprill and Oyster River, which was laid out in 1662 to his only son An­ thony; in April, 1669 he gave the ··welchman's Cove·· 133 THE KILPATRICK FAMILY property to Anthony, to go afterwards to Anthony's son John. February 13, 1670, he gave land to John Winget, husband of his daughter, Mary. The Elder was a much respected man. He held various offices in church and town, and possessed a reasonable share of this world's goods. He was con­ spicuous and active in the prosecution of Quakers. Elder Nutter died at the age of seventy-two years. His will was dated, December 28, 1674, and proved June 29, 1675. He gave to his ··present wife Anne .. use of dwelling house, orchard, Great Bay marsh, etc., all to go to Antony after her decease; mentions chil­ dren, Antony, Mary (Winget) and Abigail (Roberts). He had a daughter · who married Thomas Leighton, and died before 1674. Perhaps others. ABIGAIL, daughter of Hatevil Nutter (undoubtedly by his first wife, whose name is- not known), married Marshall John, son of Thomas and Rebecca Roberts.

THE DREW FAMILY William Drew, born without doubt in Devonshire, in 1627, was at Oyster River, New Hampshire, in 1648. He lived on the south side of the river, at Drew's Point, where on a hilltop may be seen the cellar of the garrison house built by him, or by his son Francis. On August 10, 1653, he was granted sixty acres of upland on the north side of Branson's Creek, joining his marsh. This land was laid out to his son Francis in 1669. In that year, in April, William Drew died. He married Elizabeth, daughter of Francis and Thomazine (Channon) Matthews, born (according to Parish register), December 27, 1623. She married (2) July 20, 1671, William Follett. In depositions made by them his birth date is fixed at 1627, and hers 1628. 134 THE MATTHEWS FAMILY

His children were : Francis, b. 1648; m. Lydia Bickford. JOHN. Elizabeth. Hannah. Sergeant JOHN DREW, born 1651, married (1) about 167 5, Sarah, daughter of Darby Field ; married (2) Rebecca Cook. Children, all by first wife :

SARAH. S.ov\,.. Elizabeth, m. Love Roberts, of Dover (eaughterofThomas, son of John, son of Thomas Roberts). John, m. May 24, 1705, Elizabeth Hopley. Francis, b. about 1681; m. June 3, 1713, Ann Wingate (Winget). John Drew settled with his bride on the west side of Dover Neck. Here he engaged in the trade of cooper. He was selectman in Dover in 1701, and sergeant in the local militia. He died at Back River, Dover, October 23, 1723, aged seventy-three. · In the Drew burying ground the inscription on Ser­ geant Drew's headstone may still be read. His will was dated January 31, 1721, probated December 4, 1723. SARAH, daughter of John and Sarah (Field) Drew married, January 16,. 1707, her first cousin, John Field, son of her mother's brother, Zacharias Field.

THE MATTHEWS FAMILY Francis Matthews, born probably around 1600, mar­ ried; November 2, 1622, Thomazine Channon, at Ot­ tery St. Mary, Devon, the birthplace of the poet Coleridge. They had a daughter, Elizabeth, born December 27, 1623. · Th_is is probably the Francis Matthews who came over with C~ptain John Mason's Colony in.1631, and 135 THE KILPATRICK FAMILY helped to build the mills at Great W arks, now South Berwick, Maine. October 1, 1637, he had a lease on Great Island, now Newcastle, New Hampshire. He signed the Exeter Combination in 1639. Francis Matthews died in 1648. His wife, Thoma­ zine, died in 1690. The estate was finally settled by their son, Benjamin, in 1704. They had six children who lived to maturity, recorded at Ottery St Mary, Devon: ELIZABETH, bap. December 27, 1623. Francis, bap. February 20, 1625; probably died young, as New England records do not show him among their children. Samuel, living at Isle of Shoals in 1715, had son Samuel who executed his will February, 1728/9. Walter, m. Mary; lived on Smutty Nose Island; d. 1678. Benjamin, m. Dorothy, widow of Oliver Kent. Martha, m. (1) a Snell; m. (2) a Browne. Catherine, m. (1) Thomas Footman; (2) William Durgin. ELIZABETH, daughter of Francis and Thomazine (Channon) Matthews, married before 1648, WILLIAM DREW, of Oyster River.

THE WARREN FAMILY The name Warren probably has to do with Eng-. land· s .. gentlemen· s sport,.. hunting; the small game was kept in warrens, or enclosures, and carefully guarded. It is not difficult to imagine the process of fixing the name upon the keeper of the warrens. War­ ren is also a diminutive form of the name Waring. The immigrant ancestor of this particular family was James Warren, who was in Kittery, Maine, be­ fore 1656. His daughter Grizel said that he was born in Berwick, Scotland. James Warren settled in that part of Kittery now known as South Berwick. He was a man of influence in the town and was selectman for several years. 136 THE WARREN FAMILY

His will was made December 9, 1700, probated De­ cember 24, 1702, mentions his sons, Gilbert and James, and wife Margaret.. His wife, Margaret, was a native of Ireland. Her will was made December 13, 1712, and probated Oc­ tober 15, 1713: Their children named in the wills were: Gilbert, b. 1656. JAMES, b. 165 8. Margaret, b. 1660; m. a Stackpole; had son, James. Grizel, b. March 6, 1662. A distinctly Scotch name; m. as third wife, Rich Otic of Dover, captured by Indians in 1689. She m. (2) in Canada, October 15, 1693, Philip Rohitaile, and died October 27, 1750, aged eighty-nine years. Jane, m. a Grant; had a daughter Jane. James Warren, born 1658, date of death unknown, was one of the foremost citizens of the town, and held various town offices. He was selectman in 1701, 1702, and 1703; one of a committee of six in 1713, to confer with a like committee from Kittery on the boundary line between the two towns ; and in 1719, was surveyor to run the dividing line. He married, in 1691, Mary, daughter (or grand­ daughter) of John and Elizabeth Frost, of Dover, New Hampshire. They had children : Mary, b. February 23, 1692. Margaret, b. 11-5-1694. James, b. June 8, 1698. Rachel, b. 8-26-1700; d. September 13, 1703. Gylbert, b. 4-30-1703. John, b. 12-16-1705. James, son of James and Mary (Frost) Warren, born June 8, 1698, in Kittery, and resided there. He mar­ ried Mary, daughter of Moses and Abigail (Taylor) Goodwin, born September 18, 1699. 137 THE KILPATRICK FAMILY They had children : Benjamin. Elizabeth. Moses. James. Samuel. Chadbourne. William. Martha. MARY, m. John Field, Jr.

THE FROST FAMILY John Frost, the immigrant ancestor of this family/ is said to have arrived in Boston on a British war ves­ sel on which he had been impressed as a calker. While the vessel was in Boston Harbor he jumped overboard, and swam ashore. He settled in Dover, New Hamp­ shire, where the first record of him appears May 14, 1661, when he witnessed a deed, and he may have been there some time before. He received a deed to land in Rye, New Hampshire, in 1668~ He married (1) Mary! Chadbourne. Records do not seem quite agreed as to whether1 there were two Johns, father and son; the latter was married to Elizabeth, unless John, the immigrant, had a second wife by that name. There is only one death record of a John Frost. He made his will December 17, 1699, and it was probated April 17, 1700, and names wife Elizabeth, and the fallowing children : William, b. March 11, 1673. Mary, m. 1691/2, James Warren, Jr., b. 1658. Humphrey, m. Catherine. The chances are strongly in favor of only one John Frost before Mary. He evidently married after com­ ing to New England; his wife was born 1644. If Mary were born among the first children she would have been of suitable age to marry James Warren, who was 138 THE CHADBOURNE FAMILY born in 1658, and since they were married when he was around thirty-three years of age, it leaves a wide latitude for her birth date. It is certain that she was either a daughter or a granddaughter of John and Mary (Chadbourne) Frost. John was a juryman in 1667-69, 1671, and 1688. Widow Elizabeth Frost appointed administrator of John's will January 8, 1699-1700. Mary Frost, born 1670 or earlier, married, 1691 (2) James Warren, Junior. THE CHADBOURNE FAMILY William Chadbourne was one of the carpenters and millwrights who came, probably from Devonshire, England; in 1634, under a five year agreement, to build the mills at Great Works, Maine. He died the follow­ ing year. His son Humphrey came over in 1631, and built the ··creat House·· at Strawberry Bank, now Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and afterwards settled at South Berwick, Maine. He was Deputy Judge, and married Lucy Treworgy, of Kittery. His son WILLIAM, Junior, came with his father, or about the same time. PATIENCE, daughter of William, Senior, married Thomas Spencer (1596-1681) and died in 1683. Her great-granddaughter, Mary Goodwin, married James Warren, third, great grandson of her brother William, son of William who came in 1634 and died 1635. William Chadbourne, Junior, removed to Kittery, and with forty other inhabitants of that place, on November 6, · 1652, signed the act of submission to Massachusetts. It is thought he returned.to England. His wife is given by one writer as Mary. They had at least one child, Mary Chadbourne, born in Boston, 1644, married John Frost, of Dover. Her daughter, Mary, married Warren, Junior, father of James War­ ren, third, above. 139 THE KILPATRICK FAMILY

THE GOODWIN FAMILY The names of Goodwin and Gooding seem to be used interchangeably, but no connection seems to exist be­ tween our Goodwin and Gooding families. Neither is there any known relationship between this family and several other immigrants of the same name. The origin of the name is uncertain. Daniel Goodwin, who signed the submission to Massachusetts in 1652; was probably son of Daniel and Dorothy (Barker) Goodwin, of Oxford, England; son of Daniel of Great Oakley, Sussex. His will, proved February 16, 1625, leaves his estate to his minor sons~ Daniel and Stephen. Stephen settled in Charlestownl Massachusetts. · · DANIEL, born sometime before 1625, married (1) Margaret, daughter of rhomas and Patience (Chad1 boume) Spencer; married (2) after March, 1670, Sarah, daughter of John Saunders, widow of Peter Turbet; He was one of the founders of the church at South Berwick, 1702. He was a surveyor, an inn-keeper, and a large landowner.· He was living in 1711, but died before 1713. Children, all by his first wife: Daniel, b. 1656, m. Amy Thompson. J arnes, m. Sarah Thompson Thomas, m. Mehitable Plaisted. William, m. Deliverance Taylor, daughter of John and Martha. MosES, m. Abigail Taylor, sister of Deliverance. Patience, m. Daniel Stone. Elizabeth, m. ( 1) December 19, 1686, Zachary Emery; rri. (2) Philip Hubbard. Sarah, m. December 6, 1694, Isaac Barnes. Adam (probably). David (perhaps). Daniel Goodwin and second wife, Sarah, were living in Kittery, Maine, December 13, 1711, at which time they conveyed to son Thomas of same parish all lands 140 THE SPENCER FAMILY and cattle, reserving to themselves the use and increase from one-half thereof during their lives. Moses, fifth child of Daniel and Margaret (Spencer) Goodwin, married, September 7, 1694, Abigail, daughter of John and Martha Taylor. He died in Ber­ wich in 1726. His wife was living 'in October 29, 1730. They had a daughter, Mary Goodwin, born Septem­ ber 18, 1699, married James Warren, third. Abstract of Will of Moses Goodwin: ..

Inventory returned June 9, 1726.

THE SPENCER FAMILY Thomas Spencer, born in England in 1596, came to America in 1630. He has the honor of being, as far as records show, the first permanent white settler in Maine. He married in England, probably on the eve of emi­ grating, Patience, daughter of William Chadbourne, Sr. They evidently came in the Warwick, which sailed from Downs, off the Kentish coast under command of Mason and Gorges, Captain Wetherell, Master, March 28, 1630, touched at Plymouth, England, on April 8, and reached Piscataqua, Maine, in May. He lived first at Strawberry Bank, where his brother-in-law, Humphrey Chadbourne, built the ··Great House;" later at.Kittery Point (Piscataqua), Maine, and finally at South Berwick, Maine. Strawberry Bank is now Portsmouth, New Hampshire. The names of William Chadbourne and Thomas Spencer appear in list of men sent over by Mason and 141 THE KILPATRICK FAMILY Gorges. In a list of names of men ··early on the river,,, and who perhaps came still earlier with the Thompson colony that failed, is one Henry Taylor. Thomas Spencer bought lands of Indian Sagamore Rowles, and lived at Quamphegan (another name for South Berwick). He was a lumberman, planter and tavern keeper. He died December 15, 1681 ; his widow died in 1683. Their descendants are very numerousi They had, as shown by his will : William, eldest son. Susanna, m. John Gattinsby, and d. 1679. Elizabeth. Mary, m. an Everington. MARGARET, wife of Daniel Goodwin, whom he men,­ tions in his will, had died before his will was made. H~1 made provision for her, as/seen by a deed of gift whic follows. She was born around 1632, perhaps the eldes child; married in 1654, Daniel Goodwin, arid died irt 1670~ Abstract of Deed of Gift. I, Thomas Spencer, of Kittery, '"give unto my Eldest soum William Spencer after my decease and decease of Patience, my loveing wife;" "provided he pay or cause to be payed to my tw~ daughters, namely Susanna and Elizabeth, etc." Will dated Jun~ 2, 1679. , An appendix to this will mentions · 'my sonn-in-law John Ga~ tins by who married my daughter Susanna;..

Thomas Spencer died December 15, 1681.

THE TAYLOR FAMILY This is one of the trade names which occurs with such frequency in New England. We find Henry Tay­ lor among the earliest settlers in the Mason and Gorges territory, supposed to have been one of the Thompson 142 THE TRUE FAMILY colony at Strawberry Banks (Portsmouth), New Hampshire. JOHN TAYLOR, evidently our ancestor, lived next to James Warren, at Cow Cove, below the .. landing" on the Great Works River (South Berwick). Other than this, we have only his will, and that of his wife, Martha. Abstract of Will of John Taylor (perhaps son of Henry above) : I, John Taylor of Berwick in the province of Maine, give to "my Daughter Katherine Cohan,.. "Daughter Mary Taylor, .. ··oaughter Sarah Taylor,·· .. Daughter Deliverance Taylor," "Daughter Abigail Taylor," .. Martha, my loveing wife." Made the seventh day of May, 1687. Sw.orn to by attesting witnesses, February 23, 1690/91, re­ corded March 4, 1690 /91. There was an Ellen, m. Redding. Thomas and Eleanor (Ellen) Redding had three children: Martha, their daughter, married John Taylor. This may belong, but no dates appear, and nothing to fix this as John of Berwick. Abstract of will of Martha Taylor, dated September 7, 1702: proved February 10, 1702/3. I, Martha Taylor, of the Town of Kittery, "give unto my Daughter Mary;" "unto my Daughter Sarah Clarke; ....unto my Daughter Deliverance Gooding;" .. unto my Daughter ABIGAIL Gooding .(Goodwin); .. ··unto my grand­ daughter Margaret Gooding;" "appoint my son-in-law William Gooding to be executor ... ABIGAIL, one of the four daughters of JOHN and MARTHA TAYLOR, married, between 1687 and 1702 (Goodwin Genealogy says September 7, 1694), Moses, son of Daniel and Margaret (Spencer) Goodwin. She was living in 1730.

THE TRUE FAMILY (Also in Chart IX) Henry True, from Hertfordshire, England, came to Salem, Massachusetts, in 1630. He removed to Salis­ bury in 1657. His brother, Richard, came with him, and settled in Newport, Rhode Island, but left no de­ scendants. Henry True bought a house in Salem, Aug- 143 THE KILPATRICK FAMILY ust 16, 1644, about which time he married Israel, daughter of John and Dorothy (Day) Pike. They bought a house and lot in Salisbury about the time they removed to that place in 1657. He died before April, 1660; the tenth of that month his Inventory was taken. His widow married, June 18, 1660, as second wife, Joseph Fletcher. Henry, son of Henry and Israel (Pike) True, born March 8 (or 3-8), 1644/5, married 1- 1 5-1667/8 Jane, daughter of Captain Thomas and Mary (Per­ kins) Bradbury. He was a house carpenter; freeman 1675 /6; member of Salisbury church, 1677. He bought common right of Francis Dove in 1677; elected Deacon of Salisbury church in 1687; Representative to General Court, 1689; commissioned Captain, October 29, 1696; town clerk, 1698/9. He died 9-18-1735, and his wife died 1-24-1729. How many-children they had does not appear. There were: William, b. 4th mo. 1670. Jane, b. December 5, 1676. Jabez, b. 1685; d. 1749; m. Sarah Tappan in 1707. William True, born 4th mo. 1670, was Deacon; Lieu­ tenant; admitted to Salisbury church February 5, 1698/9; a soldier in 1702. He married, in 1690, Eleanor, daughter of Benjamin and Hannah (Barnard) Stevens, baptized (adult) August 26, 1705. He died March 18, 1733, and his widow died April 29, 1768, aged ninety­ four years. Children (no list) : Jane, born October 11, 1703; WILLIAM, born 11.~16-1701, baptized Sep­ tember 16, 1705. He married, 1721, Anna, daughter of Jacob and Elizabeth (Stockman) Bradbury (his sec­ ond cousin through the Bradburys). She was born September 3, 1702, and died March 18, 1774. They had at least three children, William, Bradbury, and JONATHAN, the last-named born 2-28-1721. This 144 THE TRUE FAMILY

Jonathan· s intention published September 21, 17 4 5 ; married Ann, daughter of Jacob and Sarah (Pike) Stevens, several times related to him. They removed to North Yarmouth, Maine, about 1760, joined the first church in North Yarmouth, 1761. He died Feb­ ruary 2, 1791. '4Mrs. Jonathan True died December 1, 1791." They had a large family:

Sarah, b. May 10, 1747, at Salisbury; m. Robert Bartow; d. N. Yarmouth. Nathaniel, b. December 9, 1749, Falmouth; d. December, 1788; soldier in Revolutionary War. William, soldier in Revolutionary War; m. Susan Brown. Anna. ABIGAIL, b. 1755. JANE BRADBURY. Jonathan, b. April 30, 1758, North Yarmouth; d. Novem- ber 10, 1844; soldier in Revolutionary War.

ABIGAIL TRUE, b. 1755, m. 1775, James Field (see Chart VI). Her grandson, Timothy Davis Field married Mary Douglas Gooding (not Goodwin) granddaughter of her sister, Jane B. True.

)ANEBRADBURYTRUEmarried (Chart IX)Jeremiah Stubbs, of Pownal, Maine, and had a daughter, Su­ sannah Stubbs, who married William Gooding (Chart VIII), and had Mary D. Gooding, who married Tim­ othy Davis Field as above (Chart I). The entire ancestry of these two daughters forms half of charts VI and IX, and Dorothy Bradbury of Chart VI I is sister of Anna of Charts VI and IX, so that their ancestry is again given in the Chart VI I. 145 THE KILPATRICK FAMILY THE PIKE FAMILY John Pike, Sr., of this family appears at the head of the list as immigrant ancestor in seven lines, and is to be found in Charts VI, VII, and IX. He sailed from Southampton, England, on the ship James, Captain Cooper, master, April 2, 1635, with his children. It does not appear that a wife came with him. His marriage appears as follows: John Pike of White Parish, Wilts., married January 17, 1612/13, Dorothy Daye, of Landford, at White Parish, Wilts., England. In the same Parish Register appears: John Pike, son of John and Dorothy, baptized Nov­ ember 8, 1613. There is no record there of other chil­ dren, so he may have removed to some other Parish before a second child was born. In the same Parish Register occur marriages df Rolfes (Chart VII). Of the ship James, John'Winthrop records ··June 5, (3) arrived in Boston the ship James (1635), and two ships of Dutch cattle... These removed to Newbury, where John Pike, Jr., was one of those who were to see that the cattle were properly fed and cared for, for a period of years. The family settled in Newbury, where the first plat showed lots of John, Jr., and Major Robert Pike, but this could hardly have been the earli­ est assignment of land. John Pike, Sr., was first at Ipswich, where the entire Newbury party stopped for a short time, with the set­ tlement there, and afterwards in Newbury. In his later years, he removed to Salisbury, whither his son Robert had preceded him, leaving his place in Newbury in the occupation of Samuel Moore, a tenant. Judging from the inventory of his estate after his death, it appears that he died in good circumstances, in the same occu­ pation in Salisbury that he had followed in Newbury, that of husbandman.

Captain John Sanders (son of John and Alice) was sent to England to obtain a patent to found another Colony, somewhere around 1639-40. While there he married Hester Rolfe. The Custom House at Southampton records : John Rolfe, aged fifty, of Melchit Park, Wilts, with wife Ann, and daughter Hester, wife of John Sanders, took passage to the Colonies. John Sanders, on this trip brought his sister SARAH, -who soon after became the wife of MAJOR ROBERT PIKE.

THE COLES FAMILY This family was one of importance. Barnaby Coles of Downton, 1613, was possessor of Barford, a large estate; in the list of pedigrees of Wiltshire, England, which evidently came into possession of the Duncombes. Alice, daughter of Barnaby Coles, married JOHN SANDERS. THE BRADBURY FAMILY Matthew Bradbury was Lord of the Manor of Wicken at his death in 1587, and probably bought it in 15 57. It continued in the hands of the Bradburys 149 THE KILPATRICK FAMILY for several generations, until the early part of the eighteenth century, when Dorinda, daughter of Mat­ thew Bradbury, Esq., carried it in marriage to Joseph Sharpe, Esq., in default of male heirs. He sold it, with the exception of one hundred acres of land, and what is now called ··The Brick House. 99 This brick house was built by William Bradbury, who died 1622, for his son Wymond Bradbury, and continued in occupa­ tion of the second branch of the family till, at their extinction, it reverted, with the Hall, to Mr. Sharpe. Brick House is a pictur­ esque structure and was formerly adorned with statues, some of which still remain in a mutilated state. The arms of Bradbury are still over the door. Bradbury Arms: Sable a chevron ermine, between three buck­ les argent, a fleur-de-lis, or. Crest: A demi-dove volant argent, fretty gules holding in beak a barberry vert, fructed gules. An old Saxon family. Wymond Bradbury, for whom the Brick House was built, was father of Thomas who came to New England around 1634. Wymond was baptized in 1574, and mar­ ried, in 1605, Elizabeth Whitgift, his kinswoman, al­ ready twice a widow, who died in 1612, aged thirty years, leaving her youngest child, Thomas, still an infant. She was by marriage a niece of Sir Ferdinando de Gorges, who sent Thomas Bradbury to Maine as agent for his properties there in 1634. She was a sister of John Whitgift, Lord Archbishop of Canterbury, Pri­ mate of all England. Wymond and Elizabeth (Whitgift) Bradbury had four children : Jane, bap. 1606. Ann, bap. 1609; m. a Stubbles. She asked for administra­ tion papers for her father· s estate in 165 0, as her · ·brother Thomas was overseas.·· William, bap. 1607, probably died before 1650. THOMAS, bap. February 28, 1610/11. This was Capt. Thomas. 150 THE BRADBURY FAMILY

Thomas Bradbury came to New England, a young man, about 1634, as in that year he was in Agamen­ ticus (now York), Maine, as agent for his kinsman, Sir Ferdinando de Gorges. He did not remain long at York, but was one of the proprietors of Salisbury, Massachusetts, making his-home there after 1637. He married in May, 1636, at Ipswich, Mary, daughter of John and Judith (Gater) Perkins. She was tried for witchcraft, and condemned, and probably would have been executed but for the collapse of the delusion be­ fore the time of her execution. Thomas Bradbury was one of the most distinguished citizens of Salisbury. He was a freeman May 13, 1640; Representative to General Court, 1651, 1652, 1656-60, 1661, and 1666; Ensign 1647 /8; Commissioned to hold Court at Salisbury, and sometimes .called Judge; Re­ corder at Norfolk; Captain; signed the Narragansett petition; Associate Judge; Justice of the Peace; school teacher; town clerk. Many of the ancient records of Salisbury and of the county were written by him. He died at Salisbury, March 16, 1694, his will made Feb­ ruary 14 of that year. His widow died December 20, 1700. A small stone, almost obliterated, marks the grave of Captain Thomas Bradbury, in the Salisbury burying ground. Their children were: Wymond, b. April 1, 1637; m.

ANNA BRADBURY, sister of Dorothy, born in 1702, married in 1721, Captain WILLIAM TRUE (see True). So do we trace our ancestry five times from Captain Thomas Bradbury and his wife, Mary Perkins.

. THE PERKINS FAMILY The following pedigree is taken from · 'The Perkins Family in y~ Olden Times, .. edited and privately pub­ lished by W. D. Perkins, Utica, New York: THOMAS Perkins of Ufton Court had several sons: John of Ufton Court; Thomas of Madresfield; WILLIAM; Humphrey. WILLIAM Perkins, trustee of Ufton settlement, 1495. He m. Joanna Read, of near Coventry; had sons John and Thomas. THOMAS of Hillmorton d. 1528; m. Alys, who d. 1538; had Henry. Henry d. 15 47; had: Thomas, Margaret, Edward, Anne, Sarah, Francis, William, Lucy, Elizabeth, James. THOMAS Perkins d. 1592; m. Alice Kebble. Children: John, Henry, William, Edward, Thomas, Luke, Isache. HENRY d. 1609; m. Elizabeth, who d. 1603. They hadjoHN. John Perkins, bap. at Hillmorton, December 23, 1583; m. October 9, 1608, to Judith, daughter of Michael and Elizabeth (Baylie) Barter. John Perkins (above).and family embarked Decem­ ber 1, 1630, on the ship Lyon, which was taking food to the starving colonists in New England. After a stormy passage of sixty-seven days, they arrived at Boston Harbor, February 5, 1631. They had children baptized at Hillmorton: John, bap. November 8, 1609, Quartermaster; m. Elizabeth Eveleth. Elizabeth, bap. March 3, 1611; m. William Sargent. MARY, bap. September 3, 1615. Ann, bap. September 5, 1617; died probably before leaving England. Thomas, bap. April 28, 1622. Jacob, bap. September 12, 1624. Lydia, bap. in Boston, June 3, 1632. 153 THE KILPATRICK FAMILY John Perkins remained in Boston two years, then removed to Ipswich, where he was one of the first set­ tlers. He held various town offices, and was Repre­ sentativ~ to General Court in 1637. He owned a large island at the mouth of Ipswich River, called Perkins' Island, but lived on land now known as Manning's Neck. He died at the age of seventy-one years. His will was proved 26-7-1654. His will names: ··daughter Elizabeth Sargent;" '"daughter Anna (given as Mary elsewhere) Bradbury;" ··daughter Lydia Bennett;" ··my grandson Thomas Bradbury;" "son Jacob Per­ kins,'' etc. In the Sargent genealogy reference is made to an old tradition that William Sargent married ( 1) Judith Per­ kins, and married (2) her sister Elizabeth; that Judith married in England, and probably died there; but a thorough search, long befor~~the Hillmorton records were found, revealed no Judith, and the general opin­ ion was that he had but one wife, Elizabeth. Yet the passenger list of the Lyon gives the following: John Perkins; Judith (Grater) Perkins (his wife); Judith Perkins, child (later the wife of William Sargent) ; John Perkins, Jr., child (nearly of age); Thomas Perkins (child about fourteen years) ; Jacob Perkins (about six years); Mary Perkins, child (later the wife of Thomas Bradbury). This list was all the record available till the Hill­ morton record was discovered. The two agree except as to Judith and Elizabeth, and genealogists are now agreed that they were the same person. Note also how John Perkins in his will refers to daughter Mary as Anna. MARY PERKINS married, May 1636, Captain Thomas Bradbury. She was still living in 1692, or later, for it is said the collapse of the witchcraft delusion saved her from execution as a witch. The last executions were 154 THE STEVENS FAMILY

in 1692, when Rebecca Nourse and Susanna-Martin and six other old women, all eminently respectable and some deeply religious, were executed at Salem.

THE STEVENS FAMILY John Stevens of Salisbury, Massachusetts, born in England around 1611, came to New England before 1640. He settled in Salisbury, and received lands in the first division, 1640 and 1645. He was Senior mem­ ber of Salisbury Church. His will was made April 12, 1686-November 26, 1689. His wife was Katherine, and she died July 31, 1682. They had: John, b. 2-9-1639. Elizabeth, b. and d. 1641. Elizabeth, b. 4-12-1642. Nathaniel, b. 11-9-1645. Mary, b. 1647. Benjamin, b. 2-12-1650. BENJAMIN, son of John and Katherine Stevens, born 2-12-1650. He resided in Salisbury, where he was a sergeant, and took the oath of allegiance in 1677. He died March 13, 1689-90, in the fortieth year of his age. His gravestone inscription is now almost obliterated. Benjamin's estate was administered September 30, 1690, and settled in 1706. Hemarried, 28-8-1673, Hannah, daughter of Thomas and Eleanor Barnard, who was born in 1644. As his widow she signed the Bradbury petition in 1692; admitted to Salisbury Church, May 28, 1699, and died February 27, 1711/12. They had a large family, of whom we have record of only two, ELEANOR and JACOB. ELEANOR Stevens, bap. 1-2-1675. She was a twin; married, about 1690, Lieut. WILLIAM TRUE. She died 4-29-1768. )ACOB Stevens, born after 1685, baptized Septem- 155 THE KILPATRICK FAMILY ber 9, 1705; married November 6, 1712, Sarah, daughter of Robert Pike, Jr., and Mary Follansbee. Eleanor's grandson, JONA THAN TRUE, married Jacob's daughter, Ann, the only child recorded to JACOB and SARAH. She was born August 23, 1719, at Stratham, New Hampshire, and marriage intentions1 to Jonathan True published September 21, 1745. She died December 1, 1791, at North Yarmouth. · It will be seen by Charts VI and IX that this f amilyi: appears twice in this group.

THE BARNARD FAMILY THOMAS and Robert Barnard are said to have come to New England about 1640. Thomas was one of those who, in 1659, purchased Nantucket. The Island was deeded by Thomas Mayhew for ten pounds and two beaver hats, to ten origin~I purchasers: Tristram Coffin, Richard Swaine, Peter Coffin, Stephen Green­ leaf, Thomas Macy, THOMAS BARNARD, Christopher Hussey, John Swaine and Thomas Mayhew. Thomas Barnard transferred one-half of his holdings to his brother Robert, who took up his residence on the Island in 1663, and died there, · 'but Thomas died abroad,·· says Nantucket records; which means only that he did not die on the Island. He probably never lived on Nantucket. Thomas was a .. husbandman,,. and .. of Salisbury," receiving land there in the first divisions, 1640 and 1643. He was one of the first settlers of Amesbury, re­ ceiving land there at various times, and ··a township in 1660 for his son.·· His name appears in nearly all lists down to 1672. Thomas signed the Articles of Agreement between the inhabitants of the Old Town and those of the New Town (Salisbury and Amesbury), May 1, 1654; was 156 THE WHEELWRIGHT FAMILY approved a member of Church of Salisbury, in 1677, and was killed by Indians in the same year. He mar­ ried Helen (or Eleanor) and there were nine children when the estate was divided in 1679. Eleanor, the widow, appointed administratrix, October 1677. She appeared in Court during the settling of the estate, ··with four of her sons," in 1678. She married (2) in Newbury, July 19, 1681, George Little of Newbury, and died there November 27, 1694. Among their children_ were : John. Nathaniel, who m. Mary, daughter of John and Bethias (Folger) Barnard, and a granddaughter of Robert Bar­ nard, his father·s brother. Mary, b. September 22, 1645; whom., as his second wife, Anthony Morse of Newbury, and was ancestor of Prof. S. F. B. Morse. HANNAH, b. November 24, 1649; m. 28-8-1673, BENJAMIN, son of John and Katherine Stevens.

THE WHEELWRIGHT FAMILY This is an occupational name, and probably appears in various places in England. The only early immi­ grant of the name to New England was ·Rev. John Wheelwright, who arrived in Boston from Lincolnshire, England, May 26, 1636. He was son of Robert Wheel­ wright, .. a well-to-do yeoman,'' and Alice, his first, or Katherine, his second wife, and born in Lincolnshire around 1592. Robert Wheelwright was buried in Saleby, County Lincoln, February 2, 1612 / 13. He married ( 1) Alice, who was buried in Cumberworth, County Lincoln, in 1592. He married (2) Catherine, who was buried at Saleby, July 8, 1605. He married (3) at Saleby, Nov­ ember 17, 1606, Catherine, widow of John Money. John Wheelwright died at Salisbury, Massachusetts, 157 THE KILPATRICK FAMILY November 15, 1679, aged eighty-seven years, which would indicate his birth year as about 1592. He graduated from Sydney Sussex College, Cam­ bridge University, taking degree in 1614 and 1618. He was rector at Bilsby, England, 1623 to 1631. He mar­ ried ( 1) November 8, 1621, Marie, daughter of Re'f. Thomas Storre (Story) of Bilsby. She died in Englan# and was buried May 2, 1629/30. He married (2) aroun~ 1631, Mary, daughter of Edward and Susanna HutcH­ inson of Alford, Lincolnshire, and sister of Williati, and Samuel of Boston. The former, whose wife was the famous Ann (Marbury) Hutchinson, later remove~ to Rhode Island, because of her banishment. Her mother, Susanna, then a widow, came to New Englan~ with the Wheelwrights, making her home with thern until her death. Augustine Story, .. doubly his brother-in-law," came to New England in 1637, 8J1d joined him in Exeter ir 1638. Story must have married a sister of Rev. Wheell wright. John Wheelwright became a member of Bosto~ Church, June 1, 1636. He preached in Boston and ~ Mt. Wollaston (now part of Quincy) where his ope~ sympathy with the views of Ann Hutchinson, his kin~­ woman, resulted in his banishment from the Colony of Massachusetts in 1638. i He bought a parcel of land of the Indians; and taking a company of followers, founded Exeter, New Hampshire, in 1638. In 1642, Exeter was declared within the limits of Massachusetts, and he removed, with part of his church to Wells, Maine, of which he was one of the original proprietors. After a reconciliation with the government in 1646, he returned to Massachusetts, and became the- min-· ister of Hampton from 1647 to 1658. In 1658 he went to England, returning in 1660, after the ''Restoration,11 158 THE HUTCHINSON FAMILY and then became pastor at Salisbury. He was father of twelve children, but no record of them appears. His last will was made May 25, 1679, in which he names his son Samuel, son-in-law Edward Rishworth, grandchildren Edward Lyde and Mary White, Mary Maverick, William, Thomas, and Jacob Bradbury, to whom he gave his estates in Lincolnshire, England, in Maine, and other places. A deed by him conveys to ''his youngest daughter, wife of Richard Crispe of Bos­ ton, merchant.,, The coat of arms used by the Hutchinson family is: Ermine, on a fesse, or, between three lions' heads erased, three plates. Crest: a lion's head, erased. Rebecca, one of the daughters of Rev. John Wheel­ wright, born after 16 31, married ( 1) December 4, · 1660, Samuel Maverick, Jr., and had one daughter, Mary, remembered in her grandfather's will. Samuel Mav­ erick died and she married (2), 3-12-1672, WILLIAM, son of Thomas and Mary (Perkins) Bradbury.

THE HUTCHINSON FAMILY Our Hutchinson line comes from a Mr. Hutchinson (first name not found) living in Lincoln, Lincolnshire, England. Issue: Christopher, a clergyman; d. 1556. Thomas. William, Alderman of London, 1545; Sheriff, 1541; Mayor, 1555-56/7. John, b. 1515. Alice, m. Jrunes Remington of Branston. JOHN Hutchinson, born 1515, was apprenticed Sep­ tember 3, 1529, for seven years, to Edward Atkinson, glover, and became sheriff of Lincoln, 1547; Alderman, April 11, 15 56; Mayor, September, 15 56 ; Justice of the Peace, 1558-61, and was again Mayor of Lincoln, Sep- 159 THE KILPATRICK FAMILY tember, 1564, to May 24, 1565, when he died. He is buried in London. Will dated April 21, 1565. He mar­ ried (1) Margaret; married (2) Anne Clint, widow. His son, Edward Hutchinson, born around 1564, was apprenticed for eight years to his brother-in-law, Edmund Knight, and was later alderman and mercer of Lincoln. In 1585, he removed to Alford, where he entered business, and died September 14, 1631. He married Susanna, who went to New England, in 1636~ with her daughter, Mary, and shared with the Wheel+ wrights in the various moves resulting from banishi ment. The wife, Anne, died in Wells, Maine, in 1645 /6f and is there buried. She united with the Boston Churcn June 12, 1636. - Edward and Susanna Hutchinson had : William, m. Ann Marbury, and came to New England Banished to Rhode Island~ There, after his death, she ret moved to a Dutch settlement in the Colony of New Yorkli where, in 1643, she and her whole family of fifteen per sons were taken captive by the Indians, and all but1 one daughter barbarously murdered. She was the Amt Hutchinson famous in early Boston annals, banished fot· being unorthodox and accused of leading other~ away from "sound doctrine... Our own line is through het sister, Mary, second wife of Rev. John Wheelwright. Thomas, settled in Boston. Samuel, settled in Boston. MARY, bap. December 22, 1605; m. as second wife, about 1631, Rev. John Wheelwright.

THE STOCKMAN FAMILY John Stockman of Salisbury married, May 10, 1671, Sarah, eldest daughter of Major Robert Pike and widow of Wymond Bradbury. She was born Decem­ ber 24, 1641. 160 THE FOLLANSBEE FAMILY They had children: Joseph, b. February 29, 1672. ELIZABETH. William, b. November 2, 1675. Dorothy, b. April 20, 1678; d. March 18, 1695/6. John, b. February 5, 1681. Robert, b. August 8, 1683; d. December 10, 1686. Rev. John Pike's Journal says: .. 1686, Dec. 3, Mr. Stockman was suddenly seazed with an appoplex about 10 in ye morning, which wholly.bereaved him of his speach and his life too in eve­ ning following.·· ELIZABETH, daughter of John and Sarah (Pike) Stockman, married, July 26, 1698, Jacob, son of Wil­ liam and Rebecca (Wheelwright) Bradbury. Although she does not appear with date of birth in lists of the Stockman children, she was named in her father's will as wife of Jacob Bradbury, which leaves no room for doµbt as to her identity.

THE FOLLANSBEE FAMILY Thomas Follansbee, joiner, was of Portsmouth, 1665-71, Newbury, after 1677. The early records are not very clear concerning him. He is supposed to have been born around 1640, as he seems to have been a young man when first known. Early Portsmouth rec­ ords are hopelessly lost. He married (1) probably be­ fore 1672, Mary. He married (2), about 1675, Abi­ gail. Children by the second wife: Thomas,Jr., b. 1675; m. Abigail, b. 1660; shed. October 24, 1734, aged 74 years. He d. June 10, 1755, aged 81 years. Both are buried at Ferry Lane. They had two children: Mary, b. 1697; William, b. 1700. W'illiam. Abigail. Sarah. Francis, b. October, 1667. Hannah, b. April 10, 1683. 161 THE KILPATRICK FAMILY There were three other children, Mary, Anne, and Rebecca, perhaps by the first wife. Anne married En­ sign Moses Chase ; Rebecca married Thomas Chase, older brother of Moses; Mary, probably born about 1667, married 12-1-1686, Robert Pike, Jr. son of Major Robert Pike and Sarah Sanders Pike. Thomas Follansbee, Sr., on April 3, 1713, ''informed of his intent of marriage with Mrs. Jane Moseman of Boston." THE SECOND DAVIS FAMILY Davis is a common name in Wales, where David is the ''patron saint.'' Davy was the common form, and Davy's or son of David came quite naturally to be Davis. The name is not uncommon in England, but it seems to be a Welsh name. Without relating family traditions as to origin, we may say that Francis Davis, :'the immigrant, landed first in Nova Scotia, and finally located at Amesbury, Massachusetts, where he died in 1709. It is said, and as positively disputed, that he married Gertrude Em­ erson, of Amesbury, who was born in England in 1629. She died in Amesbury in 1702. One of his sons, Francis Davis, Jr., was born in Amesbury, June 1, 1652-, died April 12, 1710. He married, January 20, 1673/4, Mary, daughter of Walter and Alice (Wells) Taylor, born in Amesbury, January 12, 1653. Tradition says he mar­ ried (2) October 20, 1680, Mary Wells, perhaps a cousin of his first wife, born in Newfoundland in 1653. "Wife Mary died May 21, 173 3. · · After 167 4, he settled on the Powow River, near Amesbury, where he engaged in farming and the lumber business. Amesbury records are missing from 1677 to 1685, and it is possible that Mary Taylor died, and that he married, as some of his descendants say, October 20, 1680, Mary Wells. 162 THE SECOND DAVIS FAMILY

They had: John, b. September 2, 1674. Gertrude, b. November 13, 1676; m. Jacob Sargent, Nov- ember 2, 1700, son of Thomas, son of William. Francis, b. September 29, 1687; m. Joanna. Samuel, b. 1689. Sarah, m. ·Philip Rowell, 1-20-1703/4. Thomas, b. 8-7-1679; m. 12-15-1709. Intention recorded. John, Gertrude and Sarah each had a daughter named Alice. · Francis, Jr., was a member of the train band; took the oath of allegiance in 1677. His estate administered by son John, September 4, 1710. Thomas Davis, born 8-7-1679, was a farmer. In 1710, he sold land ''laid out to my grandfather, Walter, late of Amesbury, deceased.·· The same year he bought land "once laid out to the same Walter Taylor... He married, December 15, 1709, Deborah, daughter of John and Mary (Weed) Martin. They lived in Amesbury and in Newton, New Hampshire. She was living in 1732. He deeded part of his home­ stead to son Amos in 1741. In 1710, and in 1726, he bought land on or near the Haverhill line. They had children : Abigail, b. 1-6-1710; m. 4-7-1736, Ebenezer Farrington. Thomas, b. 2-28-1711/12. (Thomas and Abigail deeded their part of homestead 173 7 and 17 42.) Mary, b. 1-17-1713 / 14. Sarah, b. 1-20-1715/16. Amos, b. 11-28-1718; m.

Marriage in­ tent published January 29, 1749, to Margaret Davis, 163 THE KILPATRICK FAMILY daughter of Captain John and Elizabeth (Basford) Davis. They removed to Biddeford, Maine, where her people lived. They had children: Elizabeth, b. May 15, 1750. JoHN, b. July 2, 1753. Mary, b. August 29, 1755. John Davis, son of Timothy and Margaret Davis, married, December, 1776, Sarah, daughter of William and Mehitable (Gray) Cutter, born June 30, 1760. She died June 14, 1843, aged eig}:lty-four years. John was a blacksmith and in those days the blacksmiths made the splints for broken bones, hence John was often called "Doctor" by his friends. He died October 29, 1798, aged forty-seven years. They had children: Samuel, b. June 16, 1778; d. November 1, 1844. Timothy, b. May 11, 1780; d. January 27, 1789. Elizabeth. b. January 11. 1782; d. May 15. 1849. SARAH, b.

Sarah Davis, born February 20, 1784, married in 1802, William Augustus, son of James and Abigail (True) Field .(Chart I, Chart VI). The above is without doubt our family line, but it is interesting to note in Thornburg Parish Register, Gloucestershire, England, there are these entries: James Davis, m. June 11, 1618, Sysley T ayer (Thayer). Baptized: Francys Davys, July 4, 1619. John Davys, January 28, 1620/1. T ayer god parents in both cases. 164 THE TAYLOR FAMILY

This is taken to mean James and Sisella (or Cicely) Davis of Amesbury and Haverhill. No Francis is named among his children in New England. Some de­ scendants of Francis Davis of the line just considered claim this as their Francis Davis, ··born about 1620" and rule out t~e James and Cicely of Amesbury.

THE TAYLOR FAMILY Walter Taylor of Amesbury was a shipwright. He was born in 1623, location not known. His wife said to have been Alice Wells. - He was a .. commoner" in 1659, the first reference to him, when he had a grant of land in Amesbury. He received another grant of land in 1662, and was one of the landowners of the town in 1675. He was dismissed from training in 1674, and died February 11, 1686. His will mentions son-in-law Francis Davis, but does not mention daughter Mary. She may have died before that time. Amesbury rec­ ords, 1677 to 1685 are missing. His daughter Mary, was said by one authority to have been born June 12, 1658, in Newfoundland. An­ other says that she was born in Amesbury. It looks very much as if Walter Taylor came from Newfound­ land about 1659, when he secured land and settled in Amesbury, and that the first statement regarding his daughter Mary is the correct one. The birth date of Mary Wells, supposed second wife of Francis Davis, is also given :=t.sjune 1658, in Newfoundland. There may be some confusion of dates, but if the two women were cousins, which looks probable, both records may be right. No other Taylor children names. Mary Taylor, perhaps born in Newfoundland, June 12, 1658, married in Amesbury, January 20, 1673, Francis Davis. Her record of death has not been found, though it is claimed her husband had a second 'wife. 165 THE KILPATRICK FAMILY

THE MARTIN FAMILY The name Martin is of doubtful origin. It may be a nickname for a bird, like robin, sparrow, etc. There are many distinct families of the name. In New Eng­ land there were Martins in lspwich, Andover, Dover and Portsmouth, but apparently none of them reiated to the Amesbury family. . Our interest centers in George Martin, frequently written Martyn, of Amesbury. Our early ancestors used "y,. where we use .. i'. very frequently, and the. Smyths, and Edyths, Davyses and others of the pres­ ent day simply revert to the old practice. GEORGE MARTIN, blacksmith, came from England, September 6, 1638, in the employ of Samuel Winsley. He was for a short time in Ispwich,· but was in Salis­ bury by 1643; removed to Amesbury in 1650, where he drew lot seventeen, in the allotment of land. He was a ··commoner" in Salisbury, in 1650. · He lived west of the Powow ·River, in what was after­ wards called Amesbury, as early as 1649. He died about 1686. I-le married ( 1) Hannah, who died about 1646. She is called Hannah Green·by one writer. They had at least one child, Hannah, born at Salisbury, February 1, 1643/4, died June 29, 1730; married, De­ cember 4, 1660, Ezekiel Worthen. He married (2) August 11, 1646, SUSANNAH, daughter of RICHARD and URSULA North. She was hanged for witchcraft July 19, 1692. She bore: JOHN, b. January 26, 1650/1. Esther, b. April 7, 1653; m. March 15, 1668, John Jameson. Richard, m. Mary (Hoyt) Bartlett, daughter of John Hoyt. The poem, '"Mabel Martin, A Summer Idyl," by John Green­ leaf Whittier, gives our Susannah a young daughter Mabel, but this was just ''poetic license.·· This poem is well worth reading, but it is too long to print here. The introduction says that "Su­ sannah Martin, an aged woman of Amesbury, Massachusetts, 166 THE NORTH FAMILY was tried and executed for the alleged crime of witchcraft.·· We may note that seven other aged women were executed on the same day as Susannah. Among them were Rebecca (Towne) Nourse, and her sister Mary Esty. (See Chart I I I). The main charge against Susannah was that she · 'went afoot 'from Ames­ bury to Newbury in a dirty season, and did not get her skirts wet.·· Such was the horrible delusion of witchcraft. John Martin, born in Salisbury 1651, served at Chelmsford in King ·Philip's War, December, 1675. He married, ·Mary, daughter of John and Deborah (Winsley) Weed, born 9-5-1653. He died 3-3-1711/12. His will 10-6-1693. Estate divided in 1712. Widow - ' still living in 1713. They had five daughters. The fifth, DEJ;30RAH Martin, born August 8, 1689, married, December 15, 1709, Thomas Davis of Ames­ bury. THE NORTH FAMILY John North came from Wiltshire, England, in 1635, and settled at Ipswich. Probably his son RICHARD NoRTH and wife Ursula came with him. He was a pro­ prietor of Salisbury in 1639, freeman, June 2, 1641. He was a planter. They had children, all born in England: Mary, m. Thomas Jones. Sarah. SUSANNAH. Hepzibah. Probably others. Richard North died March 1, 1667. His will was dated January 26, 1648, and probated April 14, 1668. Evidently he left property to his wife with some sort of understanding as to who should have it after her death. Widow Ursula made a will May 19, 1669. Codicil June _24, 1669. She di~d March 1, ·1670. She be- 167 THE KILPATRICK FAMILY queathed to grandchild, Mary, wife of Nathaniel Wins­ ley; "daughter Hepzibah ;" "Mary, wife of Thomas Jones;,, "Susanna, wife of George Martyn." This gave rise to a lawsuit of some length by the other heirs, the tenor of which was that Ursula North, widow, did not pass the estate to the lawful heirs. Mary, daughter of Thomas and Mary (North) Jones, inherited. SUSANNAH NoRTH, married, November 11, 1646, as second wife, George Martyn of Amesbury. It was she who was executed for witchcraft at Salem in 1692.

THE WEED FAMILY The· ancestors of John Weed, immigrant ancestor to New England have not been discovered. He was born in England about 1627; was in Salisbury, Massachu­ setts, as planter and proprietor, 1650-1664. He was a Lieutenant. He deposed in ~alisbury Court, 2-8- 1662, his age was then about'',thirty-five years. He was a commoner and taxed in Salisbury in 1650, and received additional grant of land in 1654. He was one of the original settlers of Amesbury, in 1654/5, which seems to mean that he already lived in that part of the town when Amesbury was set off from Salisbury. He received a "township" for one of his sons in 1660. He married, November 14, 1659, Deborah, daughter of Samuel and Elizabeth Winsley, and had: Samuel, b. 2-15-1651/2. MARY, b. 9-15-1653. (Ct. Rec. 5: mo) John, b. 11-1-1655. Ann, b. 7-26-1659; m. Edward Hunt. Deborah, b. 6-15-1659; m. 11-29-1677, Christopher Bart­ lett, 2nd, of Newbury. George, b. 5-25-1661. ·Nathaniel. Ephraim, b. 2-24-1666. Joseph, b. 1671; and Thomas, b. 1674, not given in all lists. 168 THE WINSLEY FAMILY

John Weed, Sr., died 3-15-1688/9. Administration granted 6-24-1690. His widow, Deborah, died 4-20- 1695. Inventory of his estate taken, by request of his eldest son, Samuel Weed, March 21, 1688/9.

THE WINSLEY FAMILY This name is also written WINSLOW. Samuel Wins­ ley came to New England July 6, 1638, to Salisbury; was a planter; freeman of Massachusetts, May 1639; Representative to General_Court, 1642, '44, '45, ·53 and '54. Commissioner for Salisbury in 1652. Samuel married ( 1) in England, Elizabeth, who emi­ grated with him. She died 6-2-1649. In 1657, Sam­ uel Winsley ··agrees to marry Mrs. Anne, Widow of Henry Boyd (or Boad) of Wells.·· The marriage settle­ ment was dated at Salem, October 5, 1657. She died March 21, 1676/7. Children, all by Elizabeth: DEBORAH. Samuel, b. before 163 5. Killed by Indians at Kingston, New Hampshire, 1710. He had married and removed to New Hampshire before 1660. Nathaniel, m.

Old Norfolk records have the following: "Samuel Winsley of Salisbury, Planter: To my son, Samuel Winsley (by the hand of Mr.Joshua Scotto of Boston) the house­ hold goods that were mine when I married Mrs. Anne Boad, my now wife, December 22, 1660." Colonel Daines Supplementary papers through Sam­ uel Winsley. 169 THE KILPATRICK FAMILY THE THIRD DA VIS FAMILY In the Davis genealogy, John Davis of Amesbury,: husbandman, was called ··Junior" from about 1694, when John of Newbury removed to Amesbur~. Whether that means that John of Newbury was his father is not known. It was a custom when two per­ sons of the same name lived in a place, for one to be called · 'Junior.·· This John (the ''Junior'') married, (1) 1683, Eliz~ beth Cilley (or Sealey) daughter of widow Martha (Cilley)·Clough, who deeded them land in Novembe~, 1684. He married (2) October 19, 1702, at Amesbury, Bethia Ash, who was living in 1707. He married (3) June 28, 1708. He married (4) Elizabeth Beedle. It was probably John's wife Bethia, and their sari and daughter who were taken by the Indians August 9, 1704. If so, he lived in West Amesbury, and she must have returned from cap~ivity, but died soon after. He died or moved away about 1709, as John, third, be­ came John, Junior, in 1710, though called John third in 1707. John Davis was in Amesbury as early as 1684. Hi~ children were : A daughter, name not known. Martha, b. November 26, 1686, second daughter. JottN, b. May 24, 1689. Mary, b. November 15, 1691. Sarah, b. June 14, 1694. Ichabod Bowden, b.

John, son of John and Elizabeth (Cilley) Davis, born May 24, 1689, married, August 2, 1711, Elizabeth Bas­ ford of Hampton. He died May 12, 1752. Will July 6, 1752, mentioned wife Elizabeth. 170 THE CILLEY FAMILY

He was commissioned Captain in Company on East Frontier in Old French War, 1746. He is referred to as ''gentleman,,, and represented Biddeford in General Court 1745-46. He had children: Sarah, m. Benjamin Parker, "'published" February 26, 1732, Biddeford, ·Maine. Jacob, ''eldest son.·· Elizabeth, m. a Patterson. ''A Book of Records of births in Saco and Biddeford'' gives: "Ezra, the son of John and Elizabeth Davis, was Boren Fer­ bery the 20th, 1719-18. Hipzbah, the Daughter of John and Elizabeth Davis, was boren March 22, 1721. John, the suen of John and Elizabeth Davis, was born Sep­ tember the 1-1723. Mary, m.

MARGARET, married Timothy Davis; published Jan­ uary 29, 17 49 .. THE CILLEY FAMILY This name is spelled in a variety of ways, and prob­ ably the most of the descendants have settled down to Sealey. There were several immigrants of the name, most of them fishermen living in the same locality. Richard Cilley, or Sealy, born about 1620-5, in Eng­ land 'probably, was Magistrate at the Isle of Shoals in 1653. He removed to Hampton Falls, New Hamp­ shire. Richard died some time before 1686, as in that year his widow married, as second wife, John Clough, born 171 THE KILPATRICK FAMILY

1615-20. She outlived him, and died after 1692. The known children of Richard and Martha were : A son, b. about 1650. Elizabeth, b. about 1660, m. about 1683, John Davis of Amesbury, and died before October, 1702. Her parents deeded land to her and her husband in 1684.

THE BASFORD FAMILY This family appears in Durham, New Hampshire, (formerly Oyster River) as Bafford or Bamford, anq· lived in the vicinity of Chesley's Mill. The head of this family was Jacob Basford, who married, before 1692, Elizabeth Clifford. He was· a grantee, and lived first at Hampton. In 1729, · he deeded his estate in Hampton to his eldest son, James, then of Dover. They had children :

ELIZABETH, b. 5-7-1692. .• Mary, b. 8-28-1687, m. Jeremiah Folsom, January 26, 1709. James, bap. 5-9-1697. · Margaret, b. June 20, 1690, m. 12-7-1718, William Willey. Hepzibah, bap. June 28, 1699, m.

He died 10-17-1694, aged eighty years. He received land in Salisbury in the first division, his name on the earlier list of thirty-seven, but not on the later list of sixty-nine men. He removed to Hampton before 3-1-1641/2, when he sold his houselot in Salisbury to Thomas Haux­ worth, whose lot adjoined- his. Children by first wife : John, b. 1645, bap. 5-10-1646, m.

ELIZABETH CLIFFORD, born 8-31-1659, married be­ fore 1692, JACOB BASFORD.

THE ROLFE FAMILY This family is of great antiquity, and for many cen­ turies has had its seat in Wiltshire, England. John Rolfe, of Melchitt Park, Wilts., England, about nine miles from Salisbury, was born about 15_50; mar­ ried Honour. She was buried July 8, 1619. He made his will in 1634/5, and died October 8, 1625. 173 THE KILPATRICK FAMILY They had children : A dau., bap. September 15, 1579; m. 9-18-1609, William Holloway. Mary, bap. July 16, 1582; m. January 23, 1608./9, Richard Whittier. Henry, bap. September 5, 1585; m. May 28, 1621, Honour Rolfe. John, bap. April 24, 1589; m. November 2, 1612, Joane Coles. Henry, born 1585, and his brother John, baptized 1589, came to New England in the Confidence in 1638, embarking at Southampton. They settled at Newbury, where Henry had a house lot on High Street, facing the UCommon," in the same row with Major Robert Pike, Junior, Anthony Morse and others. Henry mar­ ried a kinswoman, Honour Rolfe. She died at the home of Thomas Blanchard, December 1(), 1650. He died March 1, 164i/3. They had children:

Anna, b. before 1630; m. O) Thomas Blanchard, m. (2) Richard Gardner, of Woburn. Hannah, b. before 1630; n1. May 3, 1647, Richard Dole of Newbury, and died November 16, 1678. John, b. 1622-1635; m. December 4, 1656, Mary Scollard (Scullard). Benjamin, b. about 1638; m. November 3, 1659, Apphia, daughter of Thomas Hale of Newbury. The will of Henry Rolfe proved in Ipswich -Court, January 28, 1643, speaks of kinsmen Thomas Whittier; John Rolfe; cousin John Saunders of Salisbury. The following entries in the White Chapel Parish register disclose what appear conclu~ively to be the im­ migrant family connection of three Salisbury, Ames­ bury and Newbury fam.ilies, the Pikes, Rolfes and Whittiers. 174 THE ROLFE FAMILY

Marriages: John Pike and Dorothy Daye of Landford, June 17, 1612. John Rolfe and Joan Coles, November 2, 1612. Thomas Rolfe and Mary Hurst, widow, April 20, 1615. Henry, son of John, m. Honor Rolfe, May 28, 1621. Ric.hard Whyteer of Sarum, and Mary Rolfe, January 23, 1608/9. Thomas Whittier, nephew of the Rolfe brothers, came in 1638; aged eighteen years, as ··servant" of John Rolfe. He married Ruth Green, and was ances­ tor of John Greenleaf Whjttier. Honour Rolfe who married, 1621, Henry Rolfe, was a daughter of Richard Rolfe, of Dounton, Wilts, who made his will in 1589, and devised to his wife, Agnes, and two young daughters, Honour and Agnes. It seems to have been a family trait of the Rolfes to marry relatives. Agnes, widow of Richard, was a Rolfe by birth,. as is shown by the will of her mother, widow Alice Rolfe, in 1604. It was John Rolfe and wife Anne (Joane), with daughter Hester recently married to Captain John Saunders (Sanders), who came in the Confidence in 1638. A Rolfe had married a William Sanders, and had a son William who might have been related to Captain John, hence his visit to them while on his trip to England, and his marriage to his kinswoman's daughter Hester, (see the Chart). JOHN ROLFE, son of Henry and Honour Rolfe, born between 1622 and 1635, married December 4, 1656, Mary Schollard. He was one of the proprietors of Nantucket in July, 1663, and thence removed to Cam­ bridge. He died at Newbury, September 30, 1681. They had nineteen children. Among them was : REBECCA, b. February 9, 1661/2, at Newbury. She mar­ ried WILLIAM, son of RICHARD and ELIZABETH (Williams) CUTTER. 175 THE KILPATRICK FAMILY John Rolfe bought UCook's Mills." He died in the home of his brother Benjamin. Will of John Rolfe, gives ··to son John;" ··to son William Cut.. ter;" .. my farn1 I give to my other sons to be equally divided."

THE SCOLLARD FAMILY Samuel Scollard came to New England around 1645/6, and settled in Newbury, Massachusetts. He married in England, Rebecca, daughter of Richard Kent, who had come to New England a few years be~ fore, and settled there. Samuel left his wife and chil~ dren in England, and died in 1647. After his death his! widow came to America, bringing her children witH her. There were: Mary, b. January 9, 1642. Rebekah, b. February 4, 1644. Sarah, b. March, 1645. \ ' Mary Scollard, born in England, January 9, 1642, grew to womanhood in Newbury, and married, Decem­ ber, 4, 1656, John, son of Henry and Honour Rolfe.

THE KENT FAMILY Kent has for many centuries been a common name in England. It probably comes from the district· of that name, which, in Saxon times, was a kingdom by itself. In the early centuries the name probably applied to a man Hof Kent." Richard Kent, Senior, the immigrant, arrived in Ips­ wich, Massachusetts, in 1634, in ··the Good ship Mary and john'' of Lapdon, Robert Sayres, Master. He spent the winter at Ipswich (Agawam) and the following June, when the passengers of the ship James, including the Pikes, Morses, and others, passed through Ipswich, he was persuaded to jqin the party, and so 176 THE GRAY FAMILY proceeded with them to Newbury. It is said, ''He lived on Kent Street, with wife Emma.·· He was a maltster, and was permitted to build .. another Wear" (dam) on Chebacco River" and enjoy the profits. He was a selectman. He had a son John, born 7-20- 1645, and had several daughters whom he left in Eng­ land. Among them was ·Rebecca. REBECCA KENT married in England SAMUEL ScoL­ LARD, who preceded her to New England. He died in Newbury in 1647. Soon after his death she came to Newbury with her three small children.

THE GRAY FAMILY A John Gray purchased Nantasket from the In-· dians. Whether this was the same John Gray that had his home at Yarmouth cannot now be determined. The Yarmouth records were destroyed by fire in 1676, and Barnstable County deeds were burned later, mak­ ing it impossible to determine with absolute certainty the early ancestry of this family. John Gray, the first of the name in Yarmouth, is mentioned in the Plymouth Colony records as early as March 1, 1642/3. John Gray's marriage record is not found, but there can be little question that his wife was Hannah, daughter of William Lympkin of Yarmouth. Among the births recorded at the Plymouth Court appear the following: · 'Benjamin, the sonne of John Gray, about the seventh of December, 1648, and William Gray, October the fifth, 1650." William Lumpkin, for whom William Gray was doubtless named, made his will July 23, 1668, bequeathing to his Grandson, William Gray, the half of his estate, and mentioning his grandchil­ dren, Elisha and Bethia Eldred. These were the chil­ dren of William Eldred of Yarmouth, whose wife Ann · 177 THE KILPATRICK FAMILY appeared in the case brought against Gray (John) in the Plymouth Court March 3, 1645/6. There are also plain indications that Mr. John Gray had other children than. those named above, among them a son named John, who was older than Benjamin. October 4, 1644, UMr. John Gray, Senior, com­ plained against Edward Sturgis, Junior.·· The existence of a John Gray, Junior, is distinctly implied in this record. This John, Junior, died prior to February 10, 1673/4, which is the date an inventory of his estate was taken. Later in the same year (1674) is found the last men­ tion of Mr. John Gray, Senior. In the absence of any evidence to the contrary, John Gray, Senior, is believed to be the progenitor of the Grays of Yarmouth, and the parent of the following children: JOHN, whom. Hannah Sturgis. Benjamin, of whom there is nd further notice. William, his grandfather Lumpkin's heir, whom. Rebecca Dillingham, and died at Harwich. Samuel, who m. (1) Priscilla Sparrow, m. (2) Melatiah Lewis, and was .. absent beyond sea" in 1708. Mary, whom.June 10, 1680, Benjamin Rider of Yarmouth. The birth of John Gray, Junior, is not now to be found. It seems to have escaped the notice of early write'rs on this Gray family that there were two John Grays living in Yarmouth as early as 1664. If the call­ ing of him ··Junior'' began about the time of his com­ ing of age, it would place his birth consistently about 1643. While there is no proof that they were father and son, every known fact concerning them leads to this conclusion. John Gray, Junior, married Hannah Sturgis, daugh­ ter of Edward of Yarmouth. He died sometime before March 4, 1673/4, at which date the Court had named 178 THE GRAY FAMILY a trustee for his property, until it could be probated. His wife was then living. Samuel Sturgis, who was made trustee, was a brother of John Gray's wife, himself died about a year later. The inventory .. of John Gray of Yarmouth, Late Deceased" w_as taken February 10, 1673/4, and was sworn to ''the first of the fourth (June 1) 167 4, by Han­ nah Gray, wife of John Gray Deceased." The family name of Hannah, wife of John Gray, Jr., of Yarmouth, is plainly shown in Colonel John Gor­ ham's ··wast Book," 17 45, where it is stated that ··1 oseph Gorham maryed Sarah Sturgis lived Y ar­ mouth," and ··Jabez Gorham maryed Widdow Gray, sister of Sary Sturgis moved to Bristol," these two Sturgis sisters doubtless daughters of Edward and Eliz­ abeth Sturgis of Yarmouth. He was among th~ first settlers, and lived near the meeting house. He held office in the town at various times, and was Deputy to General Court four times. · "Hanna th Graye· · is given on the rate lists of 1676, where it appears for the last time. Her marriage to Jabez Gorham, who was the son of Captain John and Desire (Howland) Gorham is not of record, but their eldest child, Han­ nah, was born at Yarmouth, December 23, 1677. The second daughter, Elizabeth, was also born at Y ar­ mouth, and their nine other children were recorded at Bristol, where Mr. Gorham died 1725, and his widow returned to Yarmouth, the home of her childhood, as is shown by a deed dated September 7, 1732, and re­ corded in Bristol, in which Hannah Gorham of Y ar­ mouth, ··sempstress" quitclaimed to Benjamin Gor­ ham for ten pounds, all such right as she had to a cer­ tain tract of land in Bristol, containing five acres. He was her son, and joint executor with her, of his father's estate (will). The deed was witnessed by Shubael Bax­ ter, of Yarmouth, husband of her daughter, Elizabeth. 179 THE KILPATRICK FAMILY Hannah Gray died October 17, 1736, and was buried in the old graveyard at Harwich (part now Brewster), in a place apparently reserved for her near the grave of John Gray, of Harwich. Her burial in this spot close by the graves of John Gray and his wife Susannah, leaves no room for doubt that she was the mother of John Gray of Harwich, who was her child by her first husband, John Gray, Jr. John Gray, of Yarmouth and Harwich, son of John, Jr., and Hannah (Sturgis) Gray, from dates .on his gravestone, was born in June, 1671. The earliest men­ tion of his name is found in a muster roll of a military company commanded by Captain John Gorham of Barnstable, which took part in the ill-fated expedition of 1690, under Sir William Phipps. A list of the sixty men in this company is given in a petition for a grant of land by Shubael Gorham and others, June 12, 173 5, and includes the names of Elisha Hedge and Joseph Sturgis, wHo were also Yarmouth men, and relatives of John Gray. The petition was favorably received, and a grant was first laid out at Dunbarton, New Hampshire, but this lapsed, and an equivalent grant of the township of Otisfield, Maine, was made in its stead, June 15, 1771. The town book of grants mentions, .. the bounds of the land belonging to John Gray butted and bounded this day by John Thatcher and John Miller, two of the land measurers of the town of Yarmouth." This was the month after he came of age, and the extent of the land, which included a house lot, meadow and swamp, makes it probable that at least a part of this real estate was inherited from John Gray, Sr. In 1694, John Gray was one of the petitioners for the incorporation of Harwich, and in 1695, he pur­ chased a quarter interest in the corn-mill on Satuckett River. 180 THE GRAY FAMIL.Y

In 1699, he acquired all the rights in Harwich lands belonging to William Clark of Plymouth, his wife's uncle, and by other investments and divisions from time to time, he became the owner of a very consider­ able estate in Harwich. He built his house in that part of the town which is now Brewster. He was a farmer, and was also at one time largely engaged in whale fishery, which proved a profitable business. June 22, 1701, his wife, Susanna Gray, was admitted to membership in the Harwich church, but while he was an attendant there, no record appears that he was ever-a member. The church records, however, show the baptisms of the nine children born after this date. No record is found of the births of those born previous to that time. In 1703, John Gray was elected constable, and two years later he was a member of a committee with Prence Snow and Kenelm Winslow ··to joyn with the select­ men in hireing a scoole master.'' In 1706, he became town treasurer, and in 1720, he was chosen Representative to General Court. His inventory shows that he left an estate valued at about four thousand pounds, which was very large for those times. His sons, Lot and Thomas were admin­ istrators. John Gray married Susanna Clark, but the date of the marriage, as well as births of the four older chil­ dren, which may have been contained in the missing town records, are not now to be found. She was daughter of Andrew and Mehitable (Scottow) Clark, and was born March 12, 1674, at Boston. She died September 10, 1731, at Harwich. His gravestone in the Brewster burying ground bears this inscription: ''Here lyes the Body of Mr. John Gray, of this town. Aet. 60 yrs. and 9 mo., died March the 31, 1732." 181 THE KILPATRICK FAMILY Their children were : Susanna, d. December 7, 1730, aged 36 years, m. (1) Nath'l Sears, m. (2) Chillingsworth Foster.

Andrew Gray, of Harwich and North Yarmouth, Maine, fourth son of John and Susanna (Clark) Gray, born in Harwich, September 29, 1707, and baptized by the Rev. Nathaniel Stone, February 8, 1708. Nothing is known of his early life beyond the fact that he grew to manhood in his native town. Two years later, Andrew Gray, housewright (car­ penter), and Phebe, his wife, signed a deed to Phineas Jones of Falmouth. At the meeting held at North Yarmouth, March 20, 1733/4, the name of Andrew Gray was first mentioned on the town records, he being made fence viewer. Later he served the town as assessor and selectman, as well as in various other offices. 182 THE GRAY FAMILY He was treasurer of the First Parish in 1755. He was a man of affairs, and original papers still preserved show how ably he conducted the business of the town. The town records state that UMr. Andrew Gray de­ parted this life, December 19, 17 57.'' He was drowned while crossing Broad Cove on the· ice in the evening of that day. The administration on his estate was granted to his son, John Gray, of North Yarmouth, February 14, 1758, and John Lewis was appointed guardian to Rhoda, Joshua and Eben~zer, his three minor children. Andrew Gray married, in 1731, Phebe, daughter of Joseph and Sarah (Abbott) Chandler, of Andover and Salisbury. She died September 23, 1744, aged thirty­ seven years. Their six children were all born in North Yarmouth, and with the exception of the youngest all died there. Their children : John, b. November 27, 1732; d. December 27, 1796; m.

They had one child, Ebenezer, born September 22, 1746;diedJune 19, 1777;marriedFeb­ ruary 22, 1770, Dorcas Mitchell. She married (2) 1778 Colonel Tristram Jordan, of Saco, Maine, and died December 19, 1781. 183 THE KILPATRICK FAMILY Mehitable Gray, daughter of Andrew and Phebe (Chandler) Gray, born December 25, 1739, married, September 14, 1758, Captain William, son of Ammi Ruhamah and Dorothy (Bradbury) Cutter, who died June 28, 1776. Abstract of will of William Lumpkin, Yarmouth, Maine: To wife T amasin Lumpkin; to daughter T amasin, wife of John Sun­ derling; to grandchildren, William Gray, Elisha and Bethiah Eldred. July 23, 1668. William's daughter, Hannah Lumpkin, married Mr. John Gray, of Yarmouth, and was mother of William Gray named in above will.

THE CLARKE-GRAY FAMILY This name Clarke is derived from "clerk." This probably accounts for their number, rivaling Smith, Davis and Jones in frequency.·:i It is written with or without the final e, as fancy dictates. From 1636 to 1680, there were twelve Thomas Clarkes in Massachusetts, three of them in Boston. But the Clarke in whom our interest centers is Thomas, of Plymouth, who came to the Colony in the Ann, of one hundred and forty tons, William Pierce, Master, in July, 1623. There is no evidence that this Thomas Clarke was the mate of the Mayflower, though having the same name. In the documents of the times he is referred to as carpenter, yoeman, merchant, or gentleman, never as a seaman. Thomas Clarke appeared first as a settler in Ply­ mouth among the forty-two adult passengers (besides children) who came in the Ann, July, 1623. He brought with him considerable property, especially cattle, and 184 THE CLARKE-GRAY FAMILY had land allotted to him near Eel River, now Chilton­ ville, where he lived for a time. In 1627, Thomas Clarke was the only person of that name in Plymouth Colony. In 1640, he is included in the list of fifty-eight purchasers, or old comers in Plymouth. We find his name on the list of men able to bear arms in 1643. He seems to have been a good man of business, for he was at one time employed to audit the accounts of Plymouth Colony; and he was Representative to General Court in 1651 and 1655. He married, for his first wife, Susan, daughter of widow Mary Ring, of Plymouth, about 1634. In her will, dated October, 1633, Mrs. Ring mentions her daughter Susan as unmarried. All of Thomas Clarke's children were probably of this marriage. · Between 165 5 and 1660 he removed to Boston, where his son Andrew married Mehitable, daughter of Thomas Scottow. Thomas Clarke married for his second wife, Mrs. Alice Nichols, daughter of Richard Hallett, in Boston, in 1664. When his son Andrew removed to Harwich, Thomas Clarke seems to have fallowed him, and he and An­ drew were among the earliest proprietors of that town. In his latter days, he was much with his daughter, Susanna Lathrop, of Barnstable. He died in Plymouth. His gravestone on Burial Hill is still to be seen, with the following inscription: Here lies buried ye body of Mr. Thomas Clark, aged 98 years. Departed this life March 24, . 1697

In 1633, Thomas Clarke took the freeman's oath; in 1637, he heads the list of volunteers to act against the Pequot Indians; in 1641-7, he is constable and sur­ veyor of highways. 185 THE KILPATRICK FAMILY Thomas Clarke's children were : Andrew, b. probably 163 5. James, b. 1637. William, b. 1639. Susanna, b. 1641. Nathaniel, b. 1643. John, b. about 1651. A Thomas Clarke living in Scituate in 1674, was a son of Thomas Clarke of Plymouth. In a Deed of Gift from Thomas Clarke, dated June 6, 1693, to his son~ and grandsons, he makes gifts of land to his sons, An4 drew, William, James, Nathaniel and John, giving the larger share to Andrew. He gives land to Andrew's sons, Thomas, Scotto, and Nathaniel, the larger share to the eldest, Thomas, all of which is in conformity with the customs of the period, by which the largest share fell to the eldest son. The daughter Susanna is not mentioned in these gifts of land, which was also a part of the custom. , Andrew Clarke of Plymouth, son of Thomas Clarke,! born about 1635, removed to Boston, and married, in I 1671, Mehitable, daughter of Thomas Scottow, as w~ have seen. His name is found in the tax lists of Boston for 1674. He lived in Scott's Lane, where his father bought him a house, and he carried on the shoe busi-­ ness. He was several times Representative to General Court. Finally he removed to Harwich, of which he and his father were among the original proprietors, in 1694. He died there in 1706. His children were: Thomas, b. July 10, 1672. Susanna, b. March 12, 1674; d. September 10, 1731. Andrew, b. 1678. Scotto, b. 1680. Nathaniel, b. 1682. Mehitable, b. December 8, 1686. Susanna, daughter of Andrew and Mehitable (Scot­ tow) Clarke, married John Gray of Harwich. 186 THE SCOTTO FAMILY

THE SCOTTO (OR SCOTTOW) FAMILY This family was of some note in the early history of Boston. They came from Norwich, Norfolk County, England, and were cabinet-makers by trade. Thomasine Scotto, widow, came to Boston, with her two sons, Thomas, born in 1612, and Joshua, born in 1615. She was admitted to the First Church in 1634. Boston records, 1637, '"Thomasyne Scottau, Wid­ dow, sixteen acres, bounded on the East with William Beamsley, on the South West with the Cedar Swamp, and on the N. E. with Muddy River Marsh, and on the North West on Alexander Becke.·· ·Among the Signers of the First Church, Charlestown: · 'The 19th of ye same 3d moneth: ( 1639) Thomas Scottowe and Joshua Scottowe, ye sons of our sister Thomasine Scottowe. · · Thomas Scotto was made freeman May 22, 1638. He had a house and garden in School street, which he sold to the town for forty-five pounds. It is the present City Hall lot. The town built a schoolhouse upon it, and Mr. Woodmansy, the teacher, lived in the old Scott house. It joined the old Burying Place; and seems to have included the same property which his great-great-grandson, Samuel Clarke, owned and oc­ cupied one hundred and thirty-three years after, which estate remained in the family till about 1825, when it was sold to the City by Dr. Samuel Clarke, and now forms part of the City Hall Square. Thomas Scotto was overseer of graves, gates, and fences in 1644, and we find in the Town Records, Feb­ ruary, 1646, '"Thomas Scotto to see yt ye graves be digged five foot deep.'· He died 1661. He married sometime before 1639, Joan Sanford, whose parents have not been found, but perhaps 187 THE KILPATRICK FAMILY qaughter of Richard and Margery Sanford, early founders of Boston, and sister of John, an early school­ master there. She died, probably between 1650 and 1655, since during that interval he married Sarah--, whom he named in his will. Children were : Thomas, bap. October 8, 1639. Thomas, b. and d. April, 1641. Thomas, b. and d. February 16, 1642. John, b. March 1, 1644. Thomas, b. January J, 1646/7; d. 1657. Mehitable, b. December 14, 1648. MEHITABLE, bap. February 11, 1649/50; m. ANDREW CLAR~. Sarah, b. August 1, 1657. Joshua, b. October 5, 1655. Thomasine, b. July 25, 1659; d. August 29, 1659. Thomasine, b. August 18, 1660. Joshua Scotto was one of the founders of the Old South Church, in 1662. He was, by commission fro~ James ~I, C~ief Justice ?f th~ Court of Common Plea~ for the Province of Maine, 1687. He was the author of two tracts, one printed in 1691, called ''Old Men'~ Tears,'' from which the following extract is takenl showing that ''old folks'' thought the rising generatiorl was ''headed for destruction·· three hundred or sd years ago. · 'The old puritan garb and gravity of heart and habit, losi and ridiculed into strange and fantastic fashions and attire-·th~ virgin· s dress and matron· s veil turned into the powdered fore~ tops, and top gallant's attire, not becoming the Christian, but the comedian assembly-so now we may, and must say, New England is not to be found in New England, nor Boston in Boston." The will of Thomas Scottow mentions .. my wife Sarah Scot­ tow;" "to be divided among all my children equally, my eldest son being brought up and the rest being very young, and will therefore stand in need of more support,·· · 'my beloved Brother Josh: Scottow and ye Elder James Penn to be ye executor;" .. unto my sonne, John Scottow, all my tooles over and above what is expressed above.·· 188 THE RING FAMILY

Sergeant Thomas Clark deposed December 18, 1661. Inventory of Thomas Scottow, late of Boston, deceased, ap­ praised in Lyndon, October 18, 1661.

THE RING FAMILY Mary Ring,_ widow, with three children, came from England to Plymouth, Massachusetts, in 1629. The three children were : Andrew, b: 1616. SusAN, m. Thomas Clark. Elizabeth, m. before 1633, Stephen Deane. Mary Ring made her will October 28, 1644, and died soon after.

The Rings were persons of character and standing, as shown by their marriages into leading New England families. THE CHANDLER-FAMILY This is another of the occupational names, mean­ ing ''candlemaker. ·· The first settler in New England by the name of Chandler was William, of Roxbury, who came there from. England in 1637, with his wife (probably Annis Al'eocf<'}'··and four small children. Hannah, born 1629, married George Alcock, Sr., prob­ ably as second wife. She married (2) Rev. Francis Dane, Minister of Andover. Had THOMAS, John, Wil­ liam, and daughter Sarah, who was born in Roxbury. He was a freeman in 1640. He and his wife were admitted to the Roxbury Church soon after their arrival. It is not certain what his wife's name was. William Chandler "dyed Jan. 26, 1641/2, and left a sweet memory and savor behind him.·· 189 THE KILPATRICK FAMILY

John Chandler, son of William, had a son, John, Jr., who removed to Worcester, and was appointed first Chief Justice of Court of Common Pleas. William Chandler, another son of William, kept an inn on the Ipswich road to Billerica. THOMAS Chandler was about seven years old when he came to New England with his parents. He was but a lad of fifteen in 164 5, when Andover was settledl but struck out for himself at that early age. He was employed with George Abbott, Sr., hi~ brother-in-law, and others, to lay out lands granted individuals by the General Court. He became a lieui tenant in the ''Fort Company'' in Andover, and was a Representative to General Court in 1678/9, frorn Andover. Thomas Chandler was a blacksmith, and ultimate!~ a rich man, carrying on iron works. He wrote a hand] some hand, but his wife ma~e her mark. An Andove~ deed classes him as a yeotnan. He and others of th family were men of considetable local fame in the In dian Wars. Thomas died in 1703 at Andover. H married, before October, 1664, Hanna, daughter o Daniel Brewer, and had three sons, and perhaps otheti children: Thomas, Jr., b. October 9, 1664; m. May 22, 1686, Mar~ Peters; Representative to General Council, 1690. · Henry, b. May 28, 1667. Joseph, b. 1669. Joseph Chandler, born 8-3-1669, married 11-2~ 1691, Sarah, daughter of the first Thomas Abbott and his wife Sarah Stewart of Andover, born January 8, 1671. They had at least eight children, two being: Rhoda, seventh child, b. 1705; m. 1729, James Russell; m. (2) Richard Stubbs. Phebe, eighth child, b. 1707. 190 THE BREWER FAMILY

"Joseph Chandler, of Salisbury, blacksmith, sold, 1718, land to Joseph Brown, of Amesbury." He sold land, in 1715-6, to Henry of Andover, lying in And­ over. In 1695, the Town of Andover granted Joseph Chandler and his brother Henry the privilege of ''set­ ting a, , saw mill,. two or three rods above the lower ford way. PHEBE CHANDLER, eighth child of Joseph and Sarah (Abbott) Chandler, born in 1707, married ANDREW GRAY of North Yarmouth, Maine, in 1731. She died September 23, 1744. _ The coat of arms of this Chandler family was pre­ pared by Miss Fanny Chandler, from an original ob­ tained from the Herald's College in London, by Rev. Thomas Bradbury Chandler, of Elizabethtown, New Jersey, when he was there in 1775. Arms: · 'He beareth chequey argent and azure, on a bend of the first sable. 3 lions passant gules. By the name of Chandler.·· Crest borne on the closed helmet above the coat of arms is the pelican feeding her young with her blood, an emblem of parental affection expressive of the family motto, ''Ad mortem fidelis.·· The mantle, cut and jagged, hanging from the helmet indicates the faithful service of the wearer, and the gauntlet his prowess.

THE BREWER FAMILY Daniel Brewer came to Roxbury, Massachusetts, from England, on the ship Lion, September 16, 1632. He was freeman 5-14-1634, and died March 28, 1646. He was born May 14, 1605. His wife was Joanna, who died 2-7-1689, aged eighty~seven years. Daniel Brewer's will, dated 12-11-1643, "husbandman," mentions wife Joanna; son Nathaniel; son Daniel; daughter Ann; daughter Joanna; daughter Sarah Watson. One son of Daniel Brewer, Sr., of Roxbury, Massa­ chusetts, was Daniel, Jr., who was born in England 191 THE KILPATRICK FAMILY before 1632, married Hannah, daughter of Isaac Mor­ rell, and had : Hannah, b. in England. Nathaniel, b. 5-1-1635; m. Elizabeth Rand, who d. 1661 He d. 1666. Ann, d. March 13, 1658, unm. Sarah, b. March 8, 1638; m. (1) a Watson; m. (2) 11-19- 1656 or 8, John May. Joanna (Hannah) born in England probably-around 1630, married 1646, Thomas Chandler, of Andover. Both about sixteen years old. The Chandler family records say marriage date unknown, and give only three children, born 1664, 1667, and 1669. There may have been several daughters born before 1664. Only sons are mentioned.

THE ALCOCK FAMILY George Alcock, physician, came to New ;England in 1630. He died .. in the end of the 10th mo. 1640, the poor of the church much bewailing his loss.'' He made his will · ·22 day 11th called December Anno Domini 1640." This will has led to the firm belief that the wife of William Chandler was Annis, sister of George Al­ cock. Edward Porter is known to have married a sister of George and Thomas Alcock; and Mrs. Alcock was a sister of Mr. Hooker. He refers to all three as .. brothers.,, He calls William Park and Philip Eliot ·'brethren.,' · The last Will and Testament of George Alcock of Roxbury in New England, dated December 22, 1640, directs "debts to be paid both in owld England and in new;·· bequeathed to ··my Sonne John;" "my wife;" .. brother Thomas Alcock of Dedham;" .. our brother Edward Porter;" "our brother Chandler;" "my.ser­ vant Joseph Wise;" "my servant John Plimton;" "my lovinge brethren Philip Eliot and William Park to be my executors;'' "my brother Mr. Hooke, overseer." 192 THE A8BOTT FAMILY

So it seems safe to assume that ANNIS (Ann or Agnes) ALCOCK (parents not known), sister of Dr. George Alcock, married in England, WILLIAM CHANDLER. . THE ABBOTT FAMILY Thomas Abbott was from England. He was prob­ ably a mere lad, and possibly an orphaned kinsman when, about 1642, he became a member of the house­ hold of George Abbott of Rowley (1615-1681). George Abbott married (2) Hannah Chandler, born 1629, and his house in Andover was used as a garrison house for shelter of the neighborhood during Indian attacks. Thomas Abbott remained in Rowley until 1659, when he went to Concord, where he obtained employ­ ment for a time, then came to Andover in 1662. There he married, December 15, 1664, Sarah Stewart or Stew­ ard. A Thomas Abbott was twenty years old in 1653, probably the same. He was a husbandman, and owned a mill privilege in Andover; took the oath of allegiance to the King, February 11, 1678. He was called Cap­ tain, no doubt of the Andover Militia. He died there May 15, 1695. Mrs. Abbott lived in North Andover with her son Thomas during her widowhood, and died there February 6, 1715, aged about sixty-nine years. There daughter SARAH, born January 8, 1671, married November 26, 1691, Joseph Chandler of Andover, born August 3, .1669. THE STEWARD (STEWART) FAMILY William Steward of Lynn (wife, Sarah) died March 18, 1669. A daughter of Sarah, born about 1646, mar­ ried, December 15, 1664, Thomas Abbott, of Andover. THE GOODING-DOUGLAS FAMILIES It seems fitting here to introduce those family legends, letter and stories which have directly to do with this 193 THE KILPATRICK FAMILY branch of the family, since it is impossible and also undesirable to separate all the references to other branches. Family Traditions Adelaide Howard Field (whom. Lewis Jones) wrote out the following for her only child, Marian Douglass Jones, whose name is on the title-page of this book. See also the Foreword. : "When I was a very little girl, not more than ten, I can remem~ her my mother, Mary Gooding Field, telling me to be carefu~ about making acquaintances, because, though poor, 1 was de~ scended from an ancient Douglass Clan. Her great-grandmothe~ Douglass, Mercy Knowles, who married Archibald, told her th~ whole story when my mother was a young girl, and bade her tel~ her children, that they might never forget whom they spruri~ from. This great-grandmother was herself from a colonial family.J Her name was Martha Knowles, a descendant from Patienc~ Brewster and Governor Thomas Prence. Her daughter Marth married Samuel Gooding, and was my grandfather Gooding' mother. This great-grandmother Douglass liyed to be about 10 years old, and retained her mental f acuities unimpaired to. th close of life. Only a short time before her death she spied a ren~' in her siij< coverlet, and calling for a Jileedle and thread she mende it without glasses, as neatly as anrl>ody could. She was accom I plished in all womanly duties, and both she and her daughters were adepts in fine embroidery and all kinds of needlework. . · ·There were two daughters of the strong-minded old lady wh. did not marry, Aunts Lizzie and Mollie Douglass. They had lef all to come to this pioneer country, and they operied a youn ladies' school in Portland, Maine. They were highly educate for those times, and taught, among other things, the spinet an fine needlework .. They would gather wild flowers and grasses, arrange them in a border design, and work them, a beautiful pat tern in colored silks on the white linen petticoats which wer worn under their thin white muslin dresses. These great-aunts1 always had their shoes made in Portland, after the style of their youth, with little high red heels. · ·Mother told of the beautiful brocaded skirts that were brought1 from Scotland, some covered with roses and vines spread over a white ground. ··My great-grandfather Douglass (Archibald) owned a large part of Cape Elizabeth, but the Indians made life there not worth living, and he did not live long after the Revolution, being weak- 194 THE GOODING-DOUGLAS FAMILY ened by hardships. After that the wife and daughter came to live at Yarmouth, Maine. They lived in a house near my grand­ father's, that belonged to him, and my mother (that is, the mother of Adelaide Howard Field) used to spend all the time she could with them. ·'The father of Samuel Gooding (who married the daughter· of Archibald Douglass) was James Gooding. He was a rich and prosperous ship-builder of Portland, ·the famous ship-builder,' he is called in the History of Portland.·· ·The following is copied from records: ''Samuel Good­ ing, son of James Gooding, shipbuilder of Portland, was married to Mrs. Martha Jones, daughter of Archi­ bald Douglass of Cape Elizabeth, on the 26th day of July, 1774 ...

My own father (Timothy Davis Field) told me, shortly before his death that "the Fields and Goodings were considered wealthy, but lost the greater part of· their property by giving aid to the Revolutionary War. There was a Major Lemuel Weeks, who served gallantly in that War, who was a relative of my mother's. He is mentioned in 'Smith's Diary' -as a brave soldier, and after the War was a prosperous merchant in Portland. He built a large mansion house that was standing not so many years ago. One of that family rejoiced in the name of Agreen Crabtree." August 27, 1921. A record of a visit by Marian Douglass Kil­ patrick to Portland and Yarmouth, Maine: '' I have been visiting the lands of my forefathers. After looking over Gooding Row, and the Stubbs homes, Yarmouth, I went over to Cape Elizabeth, now South Portland, stopped at the Town Hall, and saw the rec­ ord of the births of three daughters of Archibald and Mercy (Knowles) Douglas, though the latter was written "Marcy." The daughters· names were Elizabeth (Lizzie), Marey (Mollie), and 195 THE KILPATRICK FAMILY

Jane. Mercy Douglas, the mother, died at the age of about 97. I also saw the marriage intentions of Archibald Douglas and Mercy. ··It is very beautiful on Cape Elizabeth, many homes of wealthy people there now, but could not find the graves of the Douglasses in the cemetery near the church where Archibald and Mercy were probably married, though they were said to be buried there) Archibald Douglas had land on what is known as Barren Hill~ and it was a pleasant thing to look upon the scenes he had seen~ and to drive on the road his feet must have trod many times: Beautiful were the scenes during the spring and summer months~ but suffering must have been their lot in the winter. I ··In the forenoon I went to find Mr. ·charl~s Thornton Libb~ at his home at Yarmouth Falls. We first looked over Yarmouth~· as it was Saturday morning, and ladies would not welcome us) We went to see Miss Pettingill, the 'last of her line.· She wa~ supposed to have Gooding records and the family Bible. She i~ a Gooding herself, for several gener-ations back. She was a ver1 fine, intelligent-appearing woman, of the best New England type She is able to go about and so has variety in her life. When went to see her, I found she had very few records of any interestl but it was a pleasure to meet her. ··In the afternoon we drove to ;{armouthville to see an olq. lady, Mrs. Pinkham, who knew the Stubbs family. Nobod! home, so we went to see Mrs. Prince; she had just gone out; s : we tried Mrs. Charles Gooding, who was a Durgan. Here I me : Miss Belle Durgan, who used to sew for Aunt Nellie Blake whe : I was a little girl. .. We reminisced, and she gave me photographs of Capt. Via · nello, who married my mother· s cousin, Eleanor Gooding, an ,.: son George, who died in Africa, of African fever, when only 2 1 years old. We talked over all the scenes of my visit there whe : I was a little girl, and I finally made the picture come back one : more: the ship-yards, Grandfather Gooding~s boat-house, an . the time the fence fell on me and George Vianello rescued m~. The house is standing; I have a picture of it . .. After this we went to the old Ledge burying ground, both of the yards. We found the graves of the Vianellos, Eleanor, Captj. V. and George all on one stone. I.n the oldest Ledge burying: ground we found the grave of Abner Brown, but we were hardly able to read the inscription, 'Here lyes the body of Abner Brown, died April V, 17 41' (Chart IX). The place is neglected, and many stones are gone. Some Grays and Andrew Ring were buried there. 196 THE GOC>DING FAMILY

Called on Sarah Chamberlain on the way back to Portland. We had a pleasant half-hour chat . .. From Miss Julia Pettingill's father's Bible: · · 'Daniel Pettingill was married to Hannah Gooding of F al­ mouth (now Portland) March 21st, 1765. She was b. there Nov, 9, 1744, and died between 1818 and 1822'."

THE GOODING FAMILY Gooding, Gooden, Goodwin, seem to be used inter­ changeably,- and it is possible the Goodwins of Kittery and this family may be of the same old English stock. .yet it is a name that could originate naturally in many localities, meaning ''good friend.'' The first known Goodings in New England lived on Noddle's Island (now East Boston) in Boston Harbor. Samuel Maverick was grantee of this Island, April 1, 1663, and it became a place of refuge for the Baptists, several of the leading Baptist families having their homes there. Among these were the Goulds. The first of the Gooding family seems to have been James, who is said to have come from England to Vir­ ginia, and then to Massachusetts, as many young ad­ venturers did. He married in Boston, Mehitable Gould, daughter of Thomas Gould, a preacher of the Baptists. There seems no record of the children of this marriage, save Thomas, who is mentioned in Thomas Gould's will, and James, Jr., whose marriage intention was filed Jan­ uary 23, 1695 /6, to Margaret, daughter of Francis and Anne (Snelling) Davenport. When he died is not known. His widow died after March 22, 1739, ·and before April 22, 1740, then .. Widow Smith" and left a will in which she mentions her living children. Children were: )AMES, b. 12-12-1696, (of Falmouth). Margaret, b 11-11-1698; m. 1718, John Williams of Groton. Richard, b. October 18, 1700, "of Boston." 197 THE KILPATRICK FAMILY

THE GOULD FAMILY Thomas Gould appears in our history first at Nod­ dle's Island (now East Boston), in 1640. He was a wheelwright, and was, with his wife, Hannah, admitted to the church June 7, 1640. He was in Charlestown, 1641. Hannah died May 15, 1647, at Ten Hills Farm, leaving three children. He married (2) Mary, widow of Hayward (or Howard) who left two children. 4 codicil to his will was dated April 25, 1674, and proved April 30, 1766. Thomas was a selectman in 1652. Later he became a zealou~

Baptist, and May, 1665, was established minister of the Firs 1 Baptist Church of Boston. Accounts of his controversies an difficulties are abundant. He was excommunicated from the Bos~ ton Congregational Church, July 3, 1665; summoned before Gen~ eral Court, October 11, disfranchised, fined, refused to pay th~ fine, or to desist from holding meetings, was imprisoned. Subsequently he was liberated, although left without remist sion of sentence. He was summoned to a public hearing Apri I 14, 1668, and failing to recant, was expelled from the colony, anql ordered to be imprisoned anew if not gone by July 20. A letteti dated in 'prison from Thomas- Gould, John Farnham, and Wil+­ liam Turner, states they were in the twelfth week of their im+ prisonment. In the summer of 1669, he was liberated, and hi~ society met at Noddle's Island. Elder Gould died October 27j 167 5, having been a man ··in some good measure fitted and qual+ ified (says Elder Russell) for such work; and proved an eminent. instrument in the hand of the Lord, for the carrying on this worl~ of God in its low and weak beginnings." His will mentions his wife Mary (executrix) ; hi~ ·daughter Hannah, not then married; his son Samuel,! under age; daughters May Skinner and Mehitable Gooding; son Nathaniel Hayward, and two children; daughter Abiel Shapley, and two children; daughter Mary Bunker, and two children. Also his grandchil­ dren, Mary Skinner and Thomas Gooding. • There was no mention of his daughter, Elizabeth, 200 THE DAVENPORT FAMILY who was probably not then living. A deposition by her, 1671, states that she was then seventeen years old. Thomas Gould's family was as follows; by first wife: Hannah, bap. April 11, 1641; m. June 10, 1675, Thomas Eliot, carpenter, of Boston. Mary, m. December 22, 1669, Thomas Skinner, baker, of Boston. She d. before 1677. MEHITABLE. By second wife: Elizabeth, b. about 1654; d. before 1675. Samuel, under age in 1674; butcher in Boston, 1676; prob­ ably died unmarried. His step-children : Mary Hayward, m. January 30, 1662/3, Jonathan Bunker. Nathaniel Hayward, m. July 2, 1666, Sarah Willard. Abiel Hayward, m. June 8, 1665, Joseph Shapely.

THE DAVENPORT FAMILY Five heads of Davenport families settled within the present limits of Boston by 1676, and so far as can be discovered, no relationship existed between them. Francis Davenport, mariner, married after May 7, 1674, and on or before January 21, 167 5, Anne, daughter of Dr. William Snelling, of Boston. She died April 5, 1709. The date of his death is not found. His wife was a .. widow" in 1695. They had two daughters: MARGARET, marriage intention published January 23, 1695, to James Gooding, Jr., of Noddle's Island, Boston; married (2) Smith, and as widow Smith she made her will in 1739. Ann, m. September 5, 1700, Thomas Russell, and had four children. Francis Davenport, of Boston, mariner, mortgaged the dwelling house and land in Boston, adjoining the house of William Snelling, physician, possessed by vir­ tue of the will of Mr. WILLIAM SNELLING, late of Bos- 201 THE KILPATRICK FAMILY ton, whose daughter he married. His wife Ann also signs. Acknowledged January 21, 1675. July 25, 1695, and July 29, 1697, Anne Davenport, of Boston, widow of Francis, her eldest d~ughter, Mar­ garet, with her husband, James Gooding, Jr., of Nod­ dle's Island, and Anne Davenport, spinster, daughter, of said Anne Davenport, sold land in Boston. They were members of Old North Church.

THE SNELLING FAMILY The pedigree of the family of Snelling of Chaddle­ wood, Plympton St. Mary, goes back to 1529, the date of the first Heraldic Visitation. Their arms are thus recorded : · 'Argent, 3 griffins· heads erased gules and a chief indented ermine." In the visitation of Devonshire in 1620, the name of the fourth son of Thomas Snelling of Chaddlewood, and his wife, Joane Elford, is given as William. The ancestry from I 529, to William Snelling is believed to be: John Snelling of Plympton St. Mary, d. May 8, 1529. William Snelling, son and heir, age 33 at his father·s death, b. 1498/9. Robert Snelling, of Chaddlewood, d. March, 1570; by first wife, Nichola, daughter of William Slanning, had: Emanuel, William, Robert. William Snelling married Jane, daughter of Edmond Speccott of Thornborowe. Thomas Snelling of Chaddlewood, Devon, living in 1620, bur­ ied November 11, 1644, at Plympton St. Mary; married Joane, heiress of Thomas Elford to Bridge House, and had: John, married Francis Hele, and had John, who came to New England, and F ranees, whose will corroborates these findings, in 1655. Thomas, Clerk, vicar of Bridgerule, whose will, proved Aug­ ust 11, 1642, names as brothers and sisters these children of Thomas and Joane Snelling, names Margaret, gives to three 202 THE SNELLING FAMILY daughters lands which came to him by demise, and grant of Sir William Strode, Kt. : Emanuel; William; Jane; Welthian m. Francis Alley; May; Florence; Dorothy. This-last named William Snelling was a fine classi­ cal scholar and a physician. He came to America early in 1647, and settled at Newbury, Massachusetts. Our first notice of him is the record of his marriage, which reads as follows: "5 July, 1648, was maryed at Boston, William ye fourth son of Thomas Snelling, Esq., and Johan his wife, dwelling,at Chaddlewood in Plymp­ ton Mary, in Devon, and Margaret, the eldest daugh­ ter of Gyles Stagge, gent. and Anne his wife, dwelling at Southwarke, in Barnaby St., at the sign of the Christopher." It looks as if she were betrothed to Dr. Snelling in England, and came to Boston to marry him. On the invitation of John Winthrop, Jr., Dr. Snell­ ing removed to Boston, in 1654, where he was em­ ployed as town physician. Frequent reference to him is found in old Boston records. Dr. Snelling's wife, Margaret, died June 18, 1667. Among the inscriptions in Copp's Hill burying ground is one that reads as follows: ···Margaret, ye wife of William Snelling, aged 46 years, deceased ye 18th day of June, 1667." Two children survived her: William, b. June 24, 1659. He adopted his_father's profession, and became a physician. He married Margaret, widow of Wil­ liam Rogers, and had one child, a daughter. He died, together with his wife and child, in the terrible visitation of small-pox in the winter of 1677-8. ANNE, b. May 7, 1654. On May 7, 1674, Dr. Snelling made his will, which bears his seal, with the family arms, with a mullet as a mark of cadency, this denoting descent from a younger son, generally the third, and may refer to his grand- 203 THE KILPATRICK FAMILY father, who was third son of Robert Snelling. This will is valuable as affording evidence of his descent from an old Devonshire family. It reads: .. Boston, in New England, this 7th day of May, 1674. In th~ name of God, Amen. I, William Snelling, ye youngest sonn of the late Thomas Snelling of Chaddlewood in Plimpton Mary, iti ye County of Devon, now of Boston in the County of Suffol~ in New England, bequeath, I give and dispose in manner follow~ ing: .. ··my only son William Snelling," ··commends Anne most affectionately to the care of his faithful friends, Mr. Edwar~ Rawson and Rachel, his wife" (Dr. Snelling·s cousin). Dr. Snel"1 ling died early in November, 167 4. John Snelling, Jr., nephew of Dr. Snelling, came tq New England and settled in Saco, Maine. He died be~ fore his uncle and left five children. No descendant~ of Dr. Snelling, bearing his name, were left. Anne, daughter of Dr. William and Margare~ (Stagg_e) Snelling, married, before J~nuary 21, 1~75,I Francis Davenport, whom she survived over thirt)1 years, and d-ied April 5, -I 709. He died somewhere around 1677, leaving her with two small children.

THE SWEETSER FAMILY Seth Sweetser, the immigrant ancestor of this fam-­ ily was born in England in 1606. He came from Tring, in Hertfordshire, about thirty miles from London, in 1637, and in that year was admitted an inhabitant of Charlestown. He and wife Bethiah admitted to the church there, 1-8-1638; freeman March 14, 1638/9. He was a shoemaker by trade and in his later days be-­ came a ''moderate'' Baptist. Bethiah admitted to the church 9-9-1639. A letter to him from his cousin Daniel Field, dated Tring, May 10, 1642, has been preserved. He mentions his cousin Cram, father Lake, aunt Hoten, his brothers, and sister Elizabeth. The letter conveyed a message of love to William Phillips and his wife. 204 THE SWEETSER FAMILY

Seth made a deed of gift to his son Benjamin in 1660. He died 5-24-1662, aged fifty-six years.

He married (3) sometime before the 2dmo. 1653, MARY, daughter of John and Hannah Dwight. She was admitted to the church in 1656/7. There must have been a great disparity in their ages, as he was a freeman (at least twenty years old) in 1639, and she was born in 1638. In 1655-6 he removed to Boston, where he was a deacon in the First Church, and much esteemed. ''He left a good estate, and best of all, a good name for his children."

THE DWIGHT FAMILY Dwight is a place name, from HThwaite," a clearing in a forest. John Dwight, immigrant ancestor, born in England, came to Watertown, 1634-5, with wife Hannah, and two or three children. They were among the first set­ tlers to remove to Dedham, which was named for his home in England. He presided at the first town meet­ ing in Watertown, September, 1635, and was one of twelve signers of the famous Dedham compact. John was a man of some wealth and standing, was· second on the tax list, and one of the founders of the church. He bought one-half of a water mill in 1642; was admitted freeman May 2, 1638; a selectman for sixteen years; was one of the citizens who voted to establish free school in 1644.

THE DOUGLAS (OR DOUGLASS) FAMILY The first male ancestor of this Douglas (or Douglass) line in America seems to have been Archibald, of Lon­ donderry, New Hampshire. His mother was Martha, he had brothers John and James, and two sisters. They are identified as a single family by the sister Janet and her husband, in documents interesting in themselves as showing a glimpse of life in those days. Janet married James Hughes of Boston, distiller. His will mentions : '"Father John Hughes;" ··wife Janet;" "nephew Joseph Hughes;" "Henry and Benjamin Hughes, now in Ireland;" "brother-in-law J arnes Douglass.·· . April 14, 1752, petition of Martha Douglass that her sons John and J arnes may administer the estate of her daughter Jane Hughes, widow, deceased. "12-19-1754, Archibald Douglass of Falmouth, York Co., Me., yeoman·. to James Blois, trader, Q. C., estate of my sister Jan­ nett Hughes, widow deceased." In eettlement, Archibald sold his share to Jarnes Blois. John and James, and later the mother removed from Londonderry to Boston. The husband of Martha Douglass is not known. Family tradition seems to favor John Douglass, one of the two earliest arrivals at Londonderry. An Archibald Douglass was one of th.e signers of the Memorial to Governor Shute (of New Hampshire), signed in Ireland, March 26, 1718. It is not at all unlikely that this was an aged man, father of John and Patrick, and grandfather of our Archibald, or the father of Archibald and brother of the other two. This colony was a transplanting from Ireland to America of the set­ tlement that had moved to Ireland from Scotland only seventy­ five years before. Almost everybody came over, including some very aged men and women, who were brought by their children to be cared for. This Archibald may have been one of them, or he may well have been the husband of the Boston widow, and perhaps died on the voyage, or not long after arrival. At least, Archibald was a man of sufficient standing to sign the original petition in Ireland, yet his name does not figure in Londonderry, which favors the latter inference. 209 THE KILPATRICK FAMILY

Patrick and John Douglass signed Provincial oaths from 1719 to 1762. Patrick was one of the town · 'sir­ vayers," elected June 25, 1724. ..Voted Patrick Doug-: lass shall have the falls of Cohasset for what he offered for them.·· The children of widow Martha Douglass:: John, removed to Boston, distiller. J arnes, removed to Boston, distiller. Daniel. Mary, m. Spaulding. Janet, m. J arnes Hughes. Archibald, must have been under age, removed to F almouth, 1 where he was bound out as apprentice to Joseph Cobb, glazier. Archibald Douglas~ was in Falmouth, April 25, 1743-, when he is called · 'Chible Douglass of Falmouth, gla­ zier.·· No Douglass was on the direct tax lists of Y ar­ mouth, Cape Elizabeth, or Portland. Archibald Douglass, born before 1718, ··maryed with Marcy (Mercy) KnowJes, February 19, 17 44... She was daughter of Nathaniel and Elizabeth (Bacon) Knowles. Their children, as shown by various records were: Mary, b. Cape Elizabeth, ,1-2-1745, unm. Elizabeth, b. Cape Elizabeth, 3-19-1760, unm. MARTHA, b.January 12, 1745;m. (l)August28, 1770,John Jones, by Rev. Ephraim Clark, minister of church at Meeting House Hill; m. (2) July 26, 1774, Samuel Good­ ing,. son of James, of Pqrtland. ''Archibald Douglass was tithing man in .1748 and 1761, and fence viewer in 1768. The date of his death is not known, but was between 1790 and 1800. His wife Mercy died August 20, 1817, ag~d about ninety­ seven years. Genealogy has failed in its efforts to pierce the obscurity that veils the origin of that heroic race of Douglass of which it has been said: .. So many, so good as of Douglas blood have been, Of one surname, in one kindrick, never yet were seen.·· 210 THE KNOWLES FAMILY

What was boasted of the Douglasses by their historian three centuries ago still holds good: ··we do not know them in the fountain but in the stream: not in the root, but in the stem: for we know not who was the first mean man that did by his virtue raise himself above the vulgar.·· The name seems to be Du-glas, Sc9ttish (Gaelic) for dark man. ·'The more se~ious of the Cromwellians sold their holdings and left Scotland, the country which could be no longer a home to them. They went to Ireland, and then (1665) commenced that fatal emigration of non-conformist Protestants from Ireland to New England, which, enduring for more than a century, drained Ireland of its Prot~tant blood, and assisted in raising beyond the Atlantic the power and the spirit which by and by paid Great Britain dearly for the madness which had driven them thither."

THE KNOWLES FAMILY Richard Knowles is found first in New England on the records of Plymouth, Massachusetts, in 1637. He was in Cambridge in 1638, and removed to Eastham, on the ocean side of Cape Cod, in 165_3. He married at Plymouth, August 15, 1639, Ruth Bowers.

His wife died June 19, 17 44 (gravestone at East-i ham). He purchased· a tract of land at Windham, Con-i necticut, evidently. as an investment, as he seems never! to have moved there. He-deeded some of it to his son Nathaniel, and some to son Samuel, and a small por- tion to o.thers. · I, Samuel Knowles of Eastham, husbandman, in considera­ tion or' my real love, good will,. fatherly care and affection, give to my son, Nathaniel Knowles, late of Eastham, now of Chil­ mark, yeoman; to Samuel, Jr., aU my several parcels of land in Windham, which I formerly bought of Whiting and Crane, ex- cept what I have already conveyed. · At a later period, _Nathaniel Knowles, giving his residence as Branford, N.

He married, at Windham, Connecticut, April 25, 1717, ~izabeth, daughter of Jacob and Elizabeth (Knight) Bilton, born May 15, 1692. She married (2) .Beriah Smith,,, of Prov-- incetown; intention recorded at Eastham, July 10, 1734. By the Branford records it appears uhat Nathaniel Knowles married (1) before January 30, 1710/11, Mary, who died June 16, 1716. · 212 THE BOWERS FAMILY

They had: Rebecca, b. January 30, 1710/11; m. January 10, 1753, -George Hubbard. Mary, b. September, 1713; m. November 5, 1730, William Luddington of East Haven. Mallatiah, b.

Mercy's name is found first in records as Marey, or Marcy, the letters so imperfectly written it was taken for Mary. Through her, the connection was proven with the Mayflower line of descent, after several years of search by Charles Thornton Libby.

THE BOWERS FAMILY George Bowers came from England, and·was in _Scituate, Massachusetts, in 1637. He purchased land in Plymouth, _in 1639, and the same year removed to Cambridge. By wife Barbara he had John and Mat­ thew, and Ruth, born in England, and perhaps others. George Bowers and Barbara are believed to have been married about 1614. He married (2) in 1649, Elizabeth Worthington, and had J erathmall, Benanuel, Patience and Silence. John was schoolmaster in Ply­ mouth, in 1650. This George Bowers is believed to have been the third son of the third wife of Thomas Bowers of lwerne Minster, Dorset, England, who was said to have emigrated to New England. This Bowers family is from a long and illustrious line. RUTH BOWERS, daughter of George, married in Plymouth in 1639, RICHARD KNOWLES. 213 THE KILPATRICK FAMILY

THE FREEMAN FAMILY Edmund Freeman, born 1590, in England, came to New England in the Abigail, with wife and four chil­ dren, and settled at Saugus (Lynn) in 1635.

He came to New England on the Fortune, which arrived at Plymouth, November, 1621, when his age on the passenger list was given at nineteen years. He was one of the company of Pil­ grims at Leyden, but his parentage is not found. He was a man of considerable wealth, which must have come to him by inheritance; he soon became of influ­ ence in the Colony, and was chosen to fill its most re­ sponsible offices. He was for many years a member of Council of War; several times president of the same; Commissioner of United Co_lonies for many years; Treasurer, 1636-38; Governor, 1634, and 1638, and annually thereafter from 1657 to his death in 1673.

Her marriage date, February 13 or 14, 1649/50. 215 THE KILPATRICK FAMILY

THE BREWSTER FAMILY Much concerning Elder Brewster's early life in Eng­ land may be found in · ·The Brewster Genealogy.'' It appears that William Brewster of Scrooby, died 1590, leaving a wife, Prudence, and one child, William Brewster, who was born at Scrooby, Nottinghamshire~ about 1563-6. The date of his marriage can only be surmised. It was before 1593, and probably after l 587~ though this is by no means certain. His wife was Mary; He was the Elder Brewster of the Mayflower. After studying at Cambridge, William (1584 t~ 1587) was in the service of William Davison, who i 1585 went to .. The Low Countries," to negotiate a alliance with the ··states General,'. and in 1586 bet came assistant to Walsingham, Queen Elizabeth·s secl retary of State. Davison regarded him as "so discree and faithful, he trusted him above all others that wer with him.·· Upon the disgrace of Davison, Brewster retired t Scrooby, where, from 1590 (to 1607, he held the posi tion of Postmaster, having previously assisted hi father in this office. His duties involved the entertain ment of travelers, as well as the dispatch of the mailsJ and supplying horses. In this position he came fre~ quently in contact with men in high social standing.j ! In 1602, his neighbors began to assemble at his home, the Scrooby Manor House, for worship, and in 1606, he joined them in organizing the Separatist Church at Scrooby. After an unsuc~ cessful attempt to leave England in 1607, for which he was im~ prisoned a short time, he, with the other Separatists of that congregation, removed to Holland in 1608, "to obtain greater freedom of worship, and to avoid persecution.·· They found their way to Leyden, where he was chosen, in 1609, ruling elder of the Congregation. Bradford said, "After he came into Holland he sufferred much hardship after he had spente the most of his means, haveing a great charge and many children." 216 THE BREWSTER FAMILY

He supported himself in Holland by teaching English. In 1616-19, he was partner of Thomas Brewer, engaged in printing secretly, for sale in England, books proscribed by the British Government, "thus," says Bradford, ··haveing imployment enough." In the summer of 1619, he made a secret trip to England in connection with this business. In a letter of Sir Robert Naunton, Secretary of State, dated August 1, 1619, in which he refers to the efforts of King James to apprehend Brewster for printing .. hereticall books," he says, ··Brewster is frightened back into Low Countries.·· Two days later Naunton wrote, ··Brewster's son has conformed, and come to church.·· Bradford said he ··had many children," but gives only those who came to Plymouth. In 1619, Jonathan, b. 1593, was in Ley­ den. The son who ··conformed" was probably an older son who had not gone to Holland. How many other children there were, to make the · ·many" Bradford referred to, cannot now be known. William Brewster deposed before a magistrate in Holland (Leyden) on June 2 5, 1609, giving his age as 42, his wife· s as 40, and Jonathan's, 16 years. In 1619, the type were seized, and Brewer was arrested by the authorities at the instigation of the British Embassy. Brewster escaped and in the same year, with Robert Cushman, obtained in London, on behalf of his associates, a land patent from the Virginia Company. In 1620, he was one of the company who came to Plymouth in the little sailing ship, Mayflower. Here, besides continuing till his death to act as ruling elder, he was also regularly, until the arrival of the first pastor, Ralph Smith, a ··teacher," preaching ··both powerfully and profitably to ye great contentment of ye hearers and their comfortable edifica­ tion." Though ··holding services twice each Lord's day, he always refused to administer the sacrament." In Bradford's Mayflower list are: Mr. William Brewster; Mary, his wife; with two sons whose names were Love and W rasling; the rest of the children were left behind and came over afterwards. In 1650, Bradford says: .. And seeing it hath pleased him to give me to see 30 years compleated since these beginnings, I have thought it not unworthy my paines to take a view of the increasings and decreasings of persons, and such changes as have pased over them 217 THE KILPATRICK FAMILY and theirs. Mr. Brewster lived to very old age, about 80 years he was when he dyed, having lived some 23 or 24 years in ye country. And though his wife dyed long before, yt she dyed aged. His sone Wrastle lived a younge man unmarried; his sone Love lived till this year 1650, and dyed and left four children now living. His daughters which came over after him are dead, but have left sundry children alive; his eldest sone is: still liveing and hath nine or ten children, one married and hath a child or two.'' Elder Brewster died April 17, 1627. Among his children were : Jonathan, came on the Fortune, November 1621, aged 28 years, b. 1593, d. 1669; m. 1624, Lucretia Oldham.

Only two, Rebecca and MERCY, have come down to us. Both married Freemans. · ·Three centuries ago, the Pilgrims of the M ayfiower made landing at Plymouth Rock. They came undecked with honors of nobility. They were not children of fortune, but of tribula­ tion. Persecution, not preference, brought them hither. Mea­ sured by the standards of men of their time, they were the humble of the earth. Measured by their later accomplishments they were 218 THE BACON FAMILY the mighty.

They had Richard, born June 10, 1692, married February 16, 1716, Jael Tower, at Hingham. He died before 1751. He seems to have: been engaged in sea-faring pursuits, which his descen-: dants followed. Some of them made homes on Cape~ Cod, and others removed to Falmouth. Richard moved to North Yarmouth with his children: Richard, b. July 19, .1717, bap. November 9, 1717 .. Mary, bap. 1718.

Military record: Jeremiah Stubbs, North Yarmouth, Captain John Worthley's Company, Colonel Edmund Phinney's (31st) Regiment, billeting allowed from date of enlistment, May 8, to date of marching to headquarters, July 6, 1775. Credited with fifty-nine days allowance. Also, Corporal, same Company and Regiment. Company re­ turn dated Fort No. 2, Cambridge, November 2, 1775.

THE REED FAMILY William Reed, the immigrant ancestor of this family, was a son of Richard Reed of Whittlesey, County of Kent, England. He came'to New England with Gov­ ernor Winthrop in 1630, or about that time. He set­ tled first in Weymouth, but removed to Boston and en­ gaged in the mercantile business. A portion of the time he commanded his own vessel. He died on his homeward passage from Ireland. In­ ventory of his estate was taken 9-23-1667. His first wife, Susan, died 10-12-1653; he married (2) Novem­ ber 25, 1656, Hannah. Children of Susan: Edward, b. 1618. John, b. 1620. Samuel, b. 1624. These three children settled in Marblehead. MARGARET, b. probably before 1637; m. March 3, 1658, Richard Stubbs of Hull.

THE LOBDELL FAMILY Nicholas Lobdell had grants of land in Hingham, Massachusetts, 163 5/36, but whether he was a resident of the town for any length of time seems doubtful. Hobart's diary states "Goodman Lobdell's wife died 1641." Isaac Lobdell, son of Nicholas, was a freeman in 1673. In 1683, he served on the Grand Jury at Ply­ mouth, buthisresidencewasinHull. He married before 1657, Martha, daughter of Samuel Ward, a wealthy 225 THE KILPATRICK FAMILY citizen of Charlestown, then of Hingham, proprietor of large tracts of land in these towns and in Hull. He died before May 4, 1718, for on that date his will was probated. His wife died May 4, 1708. They had: Isaac, b. 4-28-1657, m. Sarah. . Samuel, b. 4-28-1657. Nicholas, b. October 4, 1663. REBECCA, b. probably about 167 5. Joseph. / lo b '3. . lsaa~o~, ·well stricken in yearsH made his will March 22, 1710, and appointed his son Joseph one of the executors. THE WARD FAMILY This is a name of common occurrence, and probably associated with "warder" or ··warden'' or "watchman." There have been some distinguished people of the name, but more of jus~ what Lincoln says God must have loved, because He made so many of them, just common people. · ' Samuel Ward, yeoman, born in England, around 1593, was proprietor of Hirigman, April 3, 1636; free­ man, March 9, 1636-7; Deputy to General Court, 1637. He removed to Hull before 165 5. He owned large tracts of land in Hingham, Hull, and Charlestown. His wife died at Hingham, November 28, 1638. He married (2) Frances. They were admitted to the Church at Charles­ town, June 9, 1656. They had children, probably all by first wife: Samuel. Henry. Mary. Martha. Samuel Ward died August 30, 1682, aged eighty­ nine years. Hill will, signed March 6, 1681/2, be­ queathed to his wife Frances all that she brought when 226 THE TOWER FAMILY they were married and life use of the house and lands, which were to be inherited by son Samuel at her death; other property to Samuel. To the daughters of his son Samuel, and son-in-law ISAAC LOBDELL, a house he had built at Charlestown; to daughter Mary and her husband, Ambrose Gaol, land at Hull; to Harvard Col­ lege he gave the island lying betwixt Hingham and HulL called Bomkin Island, which he wished to have called Ward's Island; Man Rogers to serve three years longer. The estate at Hull wa~ appraised at the request of Martha Lobdell. Widow F ranees died at Boston, June 10, 1690. Frances, said to be a sister of Matthew Cushing's wife, came with him to Hingham.. Wife of Matthew Cushing, Nazereth, said to have been a daughter of Henry Pitcher. Samuel Ward was supposed to be a son of John Ward of Stratford, Suffolk, England, who in his will men­ tioned a son Samuel Ward.

THE TOWER FAMILY Persons of this name are found in may parts of Eng­ land, and with no reason for thinking them in any way related to one another. Robert Tower lived in the Parish of Hingham, County Norfolk, England. He married in that parish, 8-31-1607, Dorothy Damon. Whether she was in any way related to the Damons of Chart V does not appear. They were from Reading, England. She died in Hing­ ham, and was buried there, November 10, 1629. He died- in April, and was buried May 1, 1634. John Tower, son of Robert and Dorothy (Damon) Tower, born at Hingham, England, May 14, 1609, came to Hingham, Massachusetts, as one of the pro- 227 THE KILPATRICK FAMILY

prietors in 1637. He was freeman and men:1ber of the church at Hingham. His name figured in proceedings in General Court in 1640-45. He was one of the in­ corporators of Lancaster, but never lived there. He had an Indian deed to land in Rhode Island, dated June 17, 1661, in which he was called John Tower, Sr., but failed, after some litigation, to establish his title. During King Philip's War he fortified his dwelling at Hingham, ever after known as ''Tower's Garrison House." In 1645, he was chosen selectman; fence viewer in 1669; etc. Samuel Lincoln came to America with him. He married in Charlestown, February 13, 1638/9, Mar­ garet, daughter of Richard !brook. She died May 15, 1700, aged eighty-three years. He died intestate, Feb­ ruary 13, 1701/2, aged ninety-three years. In a deposi­ tion in 1676/7, he gave his age as about sixty-nine years. They had : John, b. December 13, 1639. Jonathan, b. August 1, 1641, probably died young. !brook, b.

He married at Hingham, September 1680, Deborah, daughter of John and Mary Garnet (or Gardner). She died 1728/9. He inherited his father's homestead, the Garrison House. His will was dated July 2, 1717, and proved April 28, 1722. His wife died September 9, 1728, aged seventy-one or seventy-two years. In his 228 THE IBROOK FAMILY will he names: Benjamin, Thomas, Peter, Ambrose, Abigail, Hollis, Deborah, Christian Pratt, Sarah Whiton, ]AEL STUBBS, Hannah Tower, and makes them equally residuary legatees and devisees. Jael, daughter of Benjamin and Deborah (Garnet) Tower, born October 26, 1691, married February 16, 1715/16, RICHARD, son of Richard and Rebecca (Lob­ dell) Stubbs. THE IBROOK FAMILY Richard !brook appeared among the settlers of Hingham in 1635. Little is known of his family, or of his personal history. It is supposed he came from Hingham, England, as did most of the people who first settled Hingham, Massachusetts. He brought his wife, whose name is unknown, and three unmarried da1:,lghters. Two, at least, of her daughters had granddaughters named J ael, a name so unusual that perhaps Mrs. !brook's name was Jael. They left no son, and the name disappears as a surname, but has been preserved as a given name among his daughters' descendants. The daughters were : Rebecca, b. in England, 1621, m. (2) w. Rev. Peter Hobart, and d. 6-9-1693, aged seventy-two years. Ellen, b. in England, m. Joshua Hobart of Hingham, March 28, 1638. MARGARET, b. in England, m. at Charlestown, Massachu­ setts, February 13, 1638/9, John Tower of Hingham.

THE GARNET FAMILY John Garnet (Garner or Gardner) came to Hingham about 1650, and in 1656, had land granted to him in the south part of town. Little information has come down to us of his early history. 229 THE KILPATRICK F.AMILY The surname of his wife, whom he married in Bos­ ton, 4-10-1651, is not known. Her Christian name w~s Mary. She survived him, and married (2) 6-18-1669, Nathaniel Chubbock. John Garnet died 11-24-1668. Wife Mary was ad... ministratrix. Deborah, fifth child and second daughter, born 7-5-1657, married Benjamin Tower.

THE BROWN FAMILY George Brown died in Salisbury, England, 1633J leaving a widow Christian, and sons Henry, WilliamJ George, and Abraham. , Joseph Brown, of Hampton, St. Michaels, Englandj helped his brother George's three sons, Henry, W1L LIAM, and George, to New England, and also helpe some twenty Browns to the Merrimack, together wit his brothers, James, in 1634, and John in 1633 or 1635 Mrs. Christian Browne; widow, came from England in 1639, bringing her three sons, Henry, William, an George, and settled in Salisbury, where she receive grants of land in the ·"first division," in 1640 and 1641 She died there, December 28, 1641. George Brown re moved to Haverhill, and married Anne Eaton. Henr~ Brown remained in Salisbury. WILLIAM Brown mar~ ried, June 25, 1645, Elizabeth Murford. They had: Mary, William, b.

William and wife Elizabeth were members of the church, 1677. He was dismissed from ··training,'' April, 1666, and died August 24, 1706, in Salisbury. 230 'THE BROWN FAMILY

··william Brown's wife·· is cancelled on the church list of 1687. She was insane for more than thirty years, according to the testi­ mony of WILLIAM BROWN at the witchcraft trial, 1692. Susannah Martin was, about 1660, accused of bewitching his wife. In April, about 1661, she and ··goodwife Osgood" were summoned "to give their evidenc~s concerning the said Susannah Martin before the grand jury." Elizabeth Brown told her husband that Susannah Martin said she "would make her the miserablest creature for defaming her name in court... About two months after this, Brown says his wife ··would not own him, and from that time to this very day, thirty years or more, she has been under a strange kind of distemper and frenzy, incapable of any rational action, though strong and healthy of bpdy. ··: On the strength of this and other ··evidence·· Susannah Martin was convicted and executed as a witch. Ephraim, son of William and Elizabeth (Murford) Brown, born April 25, 1650, died June 7, 1693. He married, about 1675, Sarah Brown, said by one author­ ity to be the daughter of Philip, son of Henry. She was born March 18, 1654; died about 1726. She married (2), intention published April 3, 1703, Samuel Carter; married (3), October 5, 1719, Benjamin East­ man. Abner, son of Ephraim and Sarah Brown, born Feb­ ruary 8, 1690/1, married, September 23, 1713, Mary, daughter of Benjamin Morse of Newbury, born J anu­ ary 29, 1693. They lived at Amesbury, and later re­ moved to North Yarmouth, Maine. Abner Brown ·s gravestone, in the Old Ledge Cemetery at North Y ar­ mouth, is fall en, cracked and almost illegible.

THE MORSE FAMILY This name is a diminutive of Maurice. It has taken various forms, and records appear as Morse, Moss, and Mors. Anthony Morse of Newbury came from Marlbor­ ough, Wiltshire, England, and settled in Newbury, Massachusetts. Left London on the James, April 5, 1635, and arrived in Boston, June of that year, in the company of John Pike and family, and with his brother William, both registered as shoemakers; he was one of the first settlers of Newbury. His will, of which the following is an abstract, is on file at Salem, Essex County, Massachusetts: I, Anthony Morse of Newbury; "give and bequeth ,to my son Joshua Morse; .. "to my sons widow (Joseph's);" ··to my son Robard Morse;" ··to my son Peter Morse or children;" ··to my son Anthony Morse children:'' ··to my son Joseph Morse's chil­ dren;·· ··to my son Benjamin Morse or children;·· ··to my dafter Thorlo or children;" ··to my dafter Stickney or children; ....to my dafter Newman children;" ··to my dafter Smith or children;" ··to my grandson Richard Thurlo;" ··to my grandson Robard Homes;" ··to my son Joshua;" ··to all my children equally to be divided between them and my grandchildren whose parents are dead namely Anthony's children, Joseph's children, Hanah's children.·· Anthony Morse, born May 9, 1606, married (1) Mary, who came to New England with him, married (2) probably late in life, Ann, .who died March 8, 1679-~0.

He was a blacksmith and a land owner in Newbury and Piscataqua. An in­ ventory was given at Essex County Court, by his widow, Mrs. Mary Morse, September 30, 1679, which included a smith's shop and tools in Newbury. He married Mary Woodice (Woodys, or Woodhouse) be­ ing her second husband, January 15, 1678/9. She mar­ ried (3) Sergeant Francis Brown. Mary had children: BENJAMIN, b. about1670 or '71, m.

Benjamin Morse, son of Joseph and Mary (Woodice) Morse, was born in Newbury, Massachusetts, about the year 1669, possibly later. Because he had an uncle Deacon Benjamin Morse, and a cousin Benjamin, Jr., 233 THE KILPATRICK FAMILY born 1668, he became known as .. Tertius." His mar­ riage seems to be a problem. The date given is J anu­ ary 28, 169 J, also the date of his cousin Benjamin's marriage. His wife was Susannah, and given as daugh­ ter of Abraham and Abigail Webster Merrill, cousin of the Susannah Merrill who married Benjamin, Jr. , He married Susannah, surname not found. Abr~-I ham Merrill had a daughter Susanna who seems n~t to have married anyone of record, but apparently s~ was born not long before this marriage. Susannah dietl March 13, 1708/9, aged thirty-six years, five month 1, 20 days. He married (2) January 22, 1712/13, Mere. Bell. His will was drawn February 28, 173 7/8; prove ·August 1, 1743.

He gave a tract of land for the town and county house. · Benjamin Morse, weaver, and wife Susannah, ol 234 THE WOODHOUSE FAMILY

The same year Benjamin and Mrs. Susannah Morse of Newbury were admitted members of the First Baptist Church of Boston. · Mary Morse, daughter of Benjamin and Susannah Morse, born at Newbury, January 29, 1693, married, September, 1713, Abner, son of Ephraim and Sarah Brown, whowasbornFebruary28, 1690, livedinAmes­ bury, Massachusetts, and removed thence to North Yarmouth, Maine.

THE WOODHOUSE FAMILY Several families of name of Woody (or W oodys or Woodhouse) came to New England. Richard Woody, Senior and Junior, were of Roxbury, and Richard, Junior, removed to Boston. The father was a fisher­ man, the son a soap-boiler, but careful analysis of wills of these W oodys r~veals no connection with Richard Woodhouse of Boston. The name of Richard Wood­ house's wife is not known, except MARY. Neither is Richard's occupation shown. Boston records give chil­ dren of Richard Woodhouse and Mary, his wife, as follows: MARY, "borne 14 (11) 1638." John, b. 9 (2) 1641. Hannah, b. January 15, 1643. These three children are mentioned in records of First Baptist Church of Boston. Hannah married Mr. Joseph Pormot of Portsmouth. What became of John does not appear. MARY married, before November 2, 1668, -George 235 THE KILPATRICK FAMILY

Pierce, and had at least one child, Richard, for he was one of the three grandchildren of Richard W oodice, who sold land in Boston, 1692-3. · ·Richard W oodice gives and grants freely to his son-in-law, George Pierce, that married with his daughter, Mary." Acknowl­ edged by Richard Woodhouse, November 2, 1668. Some time after this date, George Pierce died, and his widow married, probably 1670, JosEPH MoRs~ blacksmith, who owned land in Newbury and Ports~· mouth. He died January 15, 1678/9. She married (3} Sergeant Francis Brown, of· Newbury, and Richar~ Pearce (or Peirce) and Benjamin Morse and his brothk ers _grew up in the home of Sergeant Brown. Following this line is the entire section from Henry True to. Thomas Follansbee, the ancestors of Jane Bradbury True, wh~ married Jeremiah Stubbs, the same as of her sister Abigail T ru~: who married (see Chart VI) James Field. The final gathering cf all these lines is found in Chart I .

. THE KILPATRICK FAMILY The Gaelic word .. kil" or .. kill,·· written also a ··cillie'' or ··gill,·· meaning a place of worship, is ofte used interchangeably with "kirk," a church. In thi we may see the origin of the name ·'Kilpatrick,·· in th Scotch Highlands or in Northern Ireland. In the reig of David I. (1124-1153) Ivan Kilpatrick witnessed : charter of Robert Bruce, showing the family name t . be very old. One ancient seat of th~ family is amon,: the mountains near Loch Lomond. During the Scotch ''invasion·· of Ulster, I rel and, about 1608-1620, the names of Richard, James and: John Kilpatrick appear as lessees of a tract of land i*! County Donegal, and it is thought that these were the ancestors of the Kilpatricks who came to New Engl. land, Pennsylvania, and other States, early in the! eighteenth century. 236 THE KILPATRICK FAMILY

The earliest Kilpatrick ancestor in America, on whom all the branches of the family agree, is John Kilpatrick, though the fact that he was born in Maryland in 1788 shows that his parents were then here. In 1812, he married Sarah Wallace, born in Delaware in 1792, par­ ents unknown. John and Sarah both appear in the Census of 1850. They were married in Winchester, Maryland. Their headstones in the Foote Cemetery, east of Essex, Illinois, read: . John Kilpatrick died December 18, 1853, aged 64 years. Sarah Kilpatrick died December 31, 1863, aged 71 years. Sarah died at the home of her son, Thomas W. Kil­ patrick, in Kankakee County, Illinois, and was blind for three years before her death. This Thomas said he could remember his grandfather, whose name was Abraham, and that he was Scotch; but could not re­ member his grandmother's maiden name. She married (2) Wil­ liam Boyer and had a son, William, by him. Thomas said (1920) that Abraham died when John (father of Thomas), was a boy; that John was brought up by a doctor named -Greenberry Jones, and that John lived in the Jones family till he married, but then moved to Pennsylvania. How long after Abraham· s death the widow married Mr. Boyer is not known, nor whether there were older Kilpatrick children. When Thomas gave the above facts, he was ninety years old, and had been living with his son Frank for fifteen years. This seems to be the most authentic account. Another descendant of John and Sarah wrote in 1926: · 'Our grandfather (father of John) was Thomas, and his wife was Nancy McConnell.·· This is in conflict with the other record above. Still another descendant writes that the ancestor John had brothers Thomas and Abraham, but no record of this appears. In view of the above, and other conflicting state­ ments, it seems better to go back to John and Sarah as the first definite ancestors in America. They had children: Hester Ann, b. June 1, 1813 ; m. Arthur Potts; had Rupert A. Potts and others. 237 THE KILPATRICK FAMILY

Martha, b. 1815; m. Mr. Keney; lived in Oklahoma. Greenberry, b. 1816; m. Eliza, who d. 1820. Samuel, b. December 5, 1818, in Connellsville, Pennsyl- vania. He is the Samuel of the Preface.

Sophronia, d. at eleven months. There were two other children who died young. The Federal Census of 1850, Reed Township, Will. County, Illinois, gives: John Kilpatrick, aged sixty-two, farmer, b. in Maryland. Sarah Kilpatrick, aged fifty-eight, b. in Delaware. John Kilpatrick, aged twenty-three, b. Ohio. Thomas W. Kilpatrick, aged twenty-one, b. Iowa. Catherine Kilpatrick, ageµ seventeen, b. Iowa. Mary M. Kilpatrick, aged 14, b. Illinois. Rachel L. Kilpatrick, aged twelve, b. Illinois. George Waits, aged eight, b. Ohio. John C. McConnell, aged three, b. Illinois. Though in the family of John and Sarah, George Waits' and John C. McConnell were not their children or grand-'. children. · Samuel Kilpatrick, born December 5, 1818, died February 20, 1875, on his farm near Beatrice, Nebraska. When he was but a child his parents moved from Penn­ sylvania to Will County, Illinois. This was in 1833. Here he married, May 20, 1844, Rachel, daughter of David and RuthJackson Thompson. Rachel was born in Guernsey County, Ohio, February 5, 1826, and moved with her parents to Will County, in 1841 . 238 THE KILPATRICK FAMILY

The year of their marriage, Samuel and Rachel, with the wife's family, moved to Jasper County, Mis­ souri; then, in 1857, to Benton County, Iowa; and two years later they moved with ox teams to Nebraska, finally taking up a claim in the section now known as Gage County .. Here he had one hundred and twenty acres, ten miles west of Beatrice, entered later as a homestead, where he died in 1875. Samuel left his wife with a large family to bring up. But she was a woman of energy and wisdom, and her work was well done. She died May 23, 1908. The issue of Samuel and Rachel were :

Looking back over the lives of Samuel and Rachel, and realizing the tremendous task of rearing the above splendid family, we are led to think of the thousands of heroic souls that have laid the foundation of our Republic and that have died unsung and almost un- 239 THE KILPATRICK FAMILY known beyond a generation or two. The following lines spring into our thought: ''Beneath the roots of tangled weeds, Afar in country graveyards lie The men whose unrecorded deeds

Have shaped this nation's destiny. H Little did the struggling immigrants, who came to the New World seeking freedom of conscience and se­ curity from persecution, dream that a single family of their descendants, in so few generations from the Old World, would take their place among the ··Empire Builders,·· as outlined in the Preface. It is a far cry f ron:i the Highlands of Scotland to the vast grain fields of our West, and farther still to the empire which the Kilpatrick ''boys'' helped to open ~o the shores of the Pacific.

NISELY (OR KNISELY) FAMILY The data here given about the Nisely, or Knisely, Family were gathered by J. E. Hindman of Salina, Kansas, who will be glad to receive other data, such as wills, deeds, dates, births, deaths, lists of children, etc., relating to the family. The first-comers of this name to America were from Holland. It seems that three brothers, John, Jacob, and Peter Knisely came first. We have no data about Jacob and Peter. But John settled, it is thought, in York County, Pennsylvania. All we know of this an­ cestor, John, is that he had a son, Christian, who mar~ ried an Omert. Their children were: Rebecca Innizle, Susan, Sally House, Catherine Hunter, John, Jacob, Betsey, Mary, Samuel, Nancy, and Eliza­ beth. Except for David we know nothing more of this family. David was born in 1790, probably in York County, Pennsylvania. He died August 24, 1867. Early in life he moved to Ohio, where he married Margaret Hawk, March 11, 1819, in,Knox Township, Jefferson County. She was born March 4, 1801, and died June 30, 1878.

THE THOMPSON FAMILY Jacob Thompson, born around 1728, perhaps earlier, may have come to New Jersey first, with a colony led by their minister, and then may have gone with the minister and his relatives to Maryland, and then to Pennsylvania. But my research leads me to think that Jacob came when a small boy, and it was his father who was the immigrant. In 1736, Thomas Thompson, brother-in-law of Rev. Jacob Henderson, asked for land ··for his two sons,·· he being from London Grove, Pennsylvania. It seems reasonable to think this Thomas Thompson was the father of Jacob. Jacob Thompson married Ann Downard, probably a daughter of William Downard, both probably of families that came to London Grove, Chester County, Pennsylvania, before 1736, part of that large number of colonies of Scotch refugees from North of Ireland who came to America, from 1719 to 17 40 or there­ abouts. Ann (Downard) Thompson was a widow for many years, and died in Salem, Fayette County, Pennsyl­ vania. She was known as · ·cranny Thompson,·· and owned and operated the first mill at New Salem, Penn­ sylvania, on the present site of the New Salem High School. She also owned other property, and was con­ sidered a very capable woman, highly respected. She probably came West at the same time as her daughter, Ann Moss. 246 THE THOMPSON FAMILY Jacob and Ann (Downard) Thompson had children: I. Ann (Nancy) b. July 15, 1749, in London Grove, Penn­ sylvania, the same year in which Jacob Thompson first paid taxes there. She m. September 20, 1772, Joseph Moss, b. 7-19-1749. He was a soldier in the Revolutionary War, and was discharged June 19, 1778. -He then removed to Windy Hill (Lambert) not far from Uniontown, in the heart of the coal country. They had children: 1. Mary, b. August 26, 1773 ; m. --Coats. 2. Jacob, b. November 1, 1776; m. 1806, Margery Cunningham; and descendants still live in the old home. 3. John, b. March 27, 1779. 4. Ann, b.

Rachel Thompson, born near Senecaville, Ohio, Feb­ ruary 5, 1826; died May 23, 1908; married, May 20, 1844, Samuel Kilpatrick, who was born December 5, 251 THE KILPATRICK FAMILY 1818; died February 20, 1875. Samuel and Rachel both died near Beatrice, Nebraska. See Preface. Alvah Otis Thompson (above) merits special notice as a help­ ful correspondent of the author of this book. He is the son of Robert Jackson Thompson and Minerva Connett. .The father, Robert, was b. in Noble County, Ohio, May 25, 1838; m. (I) about 1860, Delilah Edwards, and they had a baby boy named Slathiel. The baby and the mother died soon after the child was born.- Late in the fall of 1861, Robert enlisted in the Ninety-seventh Indiana Volunteers, and served to the end of the Civil War with Sherman· s Army, being in the campaign around Chattanooga and Atlanta, and was on the "march to the sea." In 1865, August, Rob~rt married Minerva Connett; they lived· near Champaign, Illinois, until 1876, when they moved to Sab­ etha, Kansas. Here Alvah Otis was born May 26, 1867, and his brother, Isaac Edgar, was born May 9, 1869. Isaac Edgar died in his senior year at the Kansas University, December 22, 1895. The parents moved to Lawrence, Kansas, about 1894, and after the death of the son Isaac Edgar, they moved to Kansas City. The father died February, 1905, and the mother died September, 1911. Both are buried in Oak Hill Cemetery, Lawrence. Alvah Otis Thompson has played a leading part in the busi­ ness world, but has also beenviery active in public affairs. He is owner of a large lumber company; and scores of boys who owe their education to his generosity, can testify to the ·fact that his splendid brain and great heart are partners. In June, 1893, this fine type of American was married to Nellie L. Bruce, at Cawker City, Kansas. September 13, 1897, their son, Philip Bruce, was born. When the World War came on, Philip would not wait for the draft, but hurried to Chicago to enlist in the Great Lakes Training School; but the second day in Chicago, August 15, 1918, the brave lad was killed in an elevator accident in the Atlantic Hotel. It was in memory of this only son that the bereaved father planned the endowment to educate twenty-five young men each year, and will provide to carry on the work after he is gone. Onjune 26, 1918, Mr. Thompson married GertrudeMcKamey Bruce, but there are no children by this marriage. Mrs. Thomp­ son, however, brought into the home two daughters and a son by a former marriage. The son, John, is now in the lumber busi­ ness with Mr. Thompson, the subject of this sketch. 252 THE DOWNARD FAMILY THE DOWNARD FAMILY Whether Ann Downard's parents ever came to America or not remains to be proven, but it is probable that they did. In the Maryland Controversy, where several men from London Grove and vicinity, in the County of Chester, in the Province of Pennsylvania, were, in 1736, induced to attempt a settlement on the Western side of the Susquehanna River, then held by Mary­ land to be under its jurisdiction, and under the rule of Lord Baltimore, was one William Downard, aged about forty-five years, and so born about 1681. This would show him about the right age to be father of Ann, and of later Downard men. There was litigation over this affair, and several of these men were arrested. Among them were Henthorns, Thompsons and Downards. It is probable that the Jacksons did not come to America until later. William Downard, who had a family at London Grove in 1736, was probably the father of Ann, who before 1749, mar­ ried Jacob Thompson, and lived in London Grove. It is quite reasonable to suppose that Jacob ·s father was the Thomas Thompson who was associated with Wil­ liam Downard. Plainly they were friends, and ages bear out the supposition. James Downard is mentioned in the list, and Thomp­ son's two sons. Records show James Downard and his wife Rachel, daughter of John McDonald, with lands bequeathed by said McDonald, April 7, 1769. A James Downard who died 1839 was perhaps a still later James. William Downard sold in 1795, '· about to remove to Kentucky,'' and refers to brother Jacob, both prob­ ably sons or grandsons of the previously named Wil­ liam. Some of the Downards moved to western Penn­ sylvania. 253 THE KILPATRICK FAMILY This is the most that has been discovered concern­ ing the Downards in Chester County, Pennsylvania, at the time of Ann Downard's living there, and while there is no absolute proof, there is reasonable ground for believing William Downard of London Grove, Chester County, Pennsylvania, was the father of Ann. There was no other Downard family here so early, as far as known. THE JACKSON FAMILY Robert Jackson, eldest son· of Hugh Jackson, was born in Ireland, ·in County Fermanagh, on March 17/ 17J3; died in Fayette County, Pennsylvania, Septem-l ber 28, 1809. He married, December 25, 1756, Mary,; daughter of James and Mary Henthorn, who was bornl, in Chester County, Pennsylvania, September 29, 1733,1 and died May 18, 1802. James Henthorn is named in connection with the land dispute between Maryland and Pennsylvania in 1736. Mary Henthorn had brothers, James and John, and probably a sister who married a Jennings. Robert and Mary (Henthorn) Jackson had children: I. Abraham, b. January 27, 1759; m. Sarah, had son Jesse. II. Mary, b. February 24, 1761; m. James Thompson. I I I. Isaac, b. April 9, 1763 ; m. Ann. They had: 1. Mary, m. John Dixon. 2. Ann, m. Adam McCray. 3. James, had son Isaac. IV. Rebecca, b. September 15, 1767; m. John Watson, and had: 1. John, of age in 1810. 2. Mary, m. Samuel Stockwell. 3. Ann, m. Abraham Henthorn. 4. Robert. 5. Sarah. 7. James. John Watson died intestate before 1810, his children then being minors. 254 THE JACKSON FAMILY

V. Sarah, b. January 1, 1769; m. a Work. VI. Robert, Junior, b. October 13, 1775. Mary Jackson, second child of Robert and Mary Jackson, born February 24, 1761, died March 30, 1835; married, April 15, 1779, James, son of Jacob and Ann (Downard) Thompson; James was born February 20, 1758; died October 8, 1835. The following names were taken from the military list made from certificates and vouchers for pay (Company not designated) from the vicinity of Uniontown, Westmoreland County (now Fayette) and all related by marriage to Robert Jackson: Nicholas Dawson, Joseph Moore, James Downard, William McComb, Robert Jackson. Sandusky Expedition: In 1782, on account of the western Indians having made incursions upon the frontiers of Ohio and Washington, Westmoreland and Y oughiogheny Counties, which they had continued, and which had been their practice since the beginning of the Revolution, this expedition was necessary.· It was during this expedition that Colonel Crawford was burnt, and narrative of the escape of John Slover, the interpreter, is most horrible. Among those who served on this expedition were Rob­ ert Jackson and James Downard. On Colonel Crawford's Expedition to Sandusky, CaptainJohn Bane's Company, privates Nathan Evans, John Morris, Robert Jackson. · The will of Robert Jackson, Senior, dated March 26, 1803, amended September 26, 1809, mentions: oldest son, Abraham; second son, Isaac; Ann, wife of my son, Isaac; eldest daughter Mary Thompson; second daughter, Rebecca Watson; third daugh­ ter, Sarah Work; my sori Robert Jackson, Junior. Witnesses: · Samuel Jackson, Andre\v Bayne, William Bayne. In the amendment of September 26, 1809, Robert Jackson, Senior, stated that his witness, Samuel Jackson, being dead, and Andrew and William Bayne having left the State of Pennsyl­ vania, he had again acknowledged the above will before new wit­ nesses, namely, George Higgenbotham and John Craig. THE JACKSON FAMILY, SECOND LINE The first man, definitely proven, of this second Jackson line, is Henry Jackson, Senior, whose home seems to have been near Jackson's Fort owned by a 255 THE KILPATRICK FAMILY

Samuel Jackson. This Fort was inside the present limits of Waynesburg, Pennsylvania. In 1774, when the Fort was built, our Samuel, who was born in 1757, was seventeen years old, and hardly of an age to be given a land grant. No will is found of Henry Jackson, Senior, nor rec­ ord of his birth, nor of his death. It is said he is buried : in the cemetery at Byeville, Ohio. He sold property in 1810, and the Green County records show him on assessment rolls in that year. There was another Henry Jackson in the same Township in Ohio, who willed all his property to son James in 1819, and James seems to have been an only child~ Henry Jackson, Senior, married Elizabeth, who was born in 1745. Her par­ entage is unknown. Henry and Elizabeth Jackson had at least one son, Henry, Junior, born 1770. There may have been other children. A grant of land was made to Henry and Jacob Jackson, and probably Jacob was a brother, but he may have·been a son. The Jacksons moved to Guernsey County, Ohio, and in Byeville Cemetery, in that county, are Jackson' gravestones: "Henry Jackson, b. 1770, died 1838, aged 68 years." ··In mem­ ory of Elizabeth, wife of Henry Jackson, was born in the year, 17 4 5. Died April the 4th, 1824 .. ' In Green County, Whitely Township, assessment rolls, Henry Jackson appears in 179 7, 1798, and 1810 ; Henry, Junior, also appears in 1798. "Henry Jackson and wife Elizabeth, on March 9, 1810, sold to Philip and John Rogers, for $70, 70 a. land, a part of the orig­ inal patent." Henry Jackson, Junior, was born in Green County, Pennsylvania, in 1770. He married ( 1) Hannah Keener. She died around thirty years of age. Her father was killed by Indians. The Jacksons had eight children when Henry resolved to go to Ohio. He left the wife 256 THE JACKSON FAMILY and all the children except Mary, who was eleven years old at that time, at home in Pennsylvania. Accom­ panied by Mary, to cook for himself and his helpers, · he came to Ohio in 1808, and settled on what is now known as the Ebenezer Johnson Farm, a half mile south of the Pleasant City railway station. His brother Samuel settled on the adjoining farm to the south. After building a cabin and clearing some land, Henry returned to Pennsylvania for the family, but in the meantime his wife had died. He brought the children to the new home in Ohio. Ten years later he returned to Pennsylvania, and married Rachel Tustin, who was born in Green County, Pennsylvania, in 1789, and brought her to preside over the home in the wilderness. Eight more chil'dren were born to this union. Children by first wife : Elizabeth, m. Mr. Fish. Mary, b.1797;d.January25, 1893;m.February 14, 1822, Henry Woodrow. They had a daughter who m. a Shriver. RuTH, m. David Thompson. Nancy, m. Mr. Dennison. Andrew, m. a sister of George Booker of Blue Bell, and lived in Indiana. James, d. at eighteen years, killed by a horse. Hannah, m. a Mr. Dillon, and located in Lawrence County, Ohio. Margaret, m. Kirk (or Kirkpatrick) By second wife: Henry, b. 1819; m. Lucretia. Jacob, m. Miss Fox of Noble County, and d. in Missouri. Eleanor, 1827-1895, d. unm.; lived with her brother Samuel. Samuel, 1829-1912. Lived in Pleasant City. Jane, m. Mr. Huff. Lived in Indiana. Abraham, d. in Missouri. Charles. Lydia. The second wife, Rachel, died in 1871, after making her home for several years with her son Samuel 1n 257 THE KILPATRICK FAMILY Pleasant City. She was a woman of vigorous intellect and strong will, a well-read woman for that early day. Like all of this large family, she was a Democrat in politics, and a Baptist in religion. All this family are now dead, the venerable Samuel Jackson of Pleasant City being the last survivor. The children who died young, and the aged granGlparents are buried in the cemetery of the Enon Baptist Church, now enlarged and known as the Byeville Cemetery. The children of Margaret Kirkpatrick, namely, Hannah J ane,i aged seventeen; Mary, aged sixteen; Rachel, aged thirteen, i~ open court in March, 1830, made choice of their uncle Henr~ Jackson to be their guardian; the court approved the choice, and appointed said Henry Jackson also guardian of Jacob, aged ten~ Martha, aged eight; and Elizabeth, aged six fears. j The will of Henry Jackson was dated June 5, 1836, prove~ April 6, 1838; gives residence as Buffalo Township, Guernse~ county, Ohio;mentions: Beloved wife, Rachel:sonsJacob, Henry,! Charles, Abraham, and Andrew Jackson; also daughters Mar'Y1 Woodrow, Betsy Fish, Nancy Dennison, Ruth Thompson, Han1 nah Dillon, Margaret Kirkpatrick, Lydia, Eleanor, and Jane~ gives to Jacob, Samuel, Abraham, and Henry Jackson, my resi..; ·dence; executors, wife Rachel and son-in-law, Henry Woodrow.! In the Archives of Pennsylvania is the record: Henry Jackson, private, name found on Muster roll of com~ pany of Rangers for Washington County, Pennsylvania, Com~ pany commanded by Captain William Crawford, from April 3 ► 1793, to December 12, 1793. Pay roll for above Rangers for pr~ tecting Washington County. Green County was part of Wash­ ington County. Ruth Jackson, born around 1799 (dates of birth and death not found), married November 7, 1822, David Thompson, born Fayette County, Pennsylvania, March 4, 1803; died Gage County, Nebraska, at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Rachel Kilpatrick. Ruth died while her husband was away from home, and perhaps while he was in California (about 1850 or later). David returned from Marysville, California, in 1866 258 THE JACKSON FAMILY or 1867, coming on horseback and leading a pack horse, leaving his son Isaac at Marysville. David died in 1882, on the Kilpatrick farm, ten miles west of Bea­ trice, Nebraska.

FINAL WORD So ends the story which friends have gathered from the notes of Marian Douglass Kilpatrick. If the de­ voted woman had lived a few years longer, she would have solved many of the problems here left unsolved. And she would doubtless have added much to these records. Generations to come will bless the name and mem­ ory of the noble woman who gave years of her life to the search for her ancestors and yours. And if other searchers add to this work, as all surely hope they will, still let us never forget the splendid foundation laid by her whose . memory is already blessed, and whose noblest monument is built of the pages of this book, her gift to past, present and future generations.
