Wilkins 1794-1861 JOHN HUBBARD 'WILKINS 1794-1861 John Hubbard Wilkins, Harvard graduate, orig­ inally destined for the ministry, eminent Boston merchant and banker, distinguished public servant of city and state, author of an outstanding treatise on astronomy, father of the Cochituate water supply for Boston, and generous benefactor of chmch and charitable organizations, combining as he did so many estimable qualities, has been chosen as the sttbject for the frontispiece of this genealogy, in recognition of the distinction and high honor he brought to the family name. The Family of BRAY WILKINS "Patriarch of Will's Hill" of Salem (Middleton) Mass. By William Carroll Hill EDITOR AND HISTORIAN, New England Historic Genealogical Society Author of Dartmouth Traditions, History of the Cecilia Society and The Family of Captain John Mills Printed at THE CABINET PRESS Milford, N. H. 1943 Distribution by WILLIAM CARROLL HILL 321 Auburndale Ave., Auburndale, Mass. Preface This volume is no pretense at a complete genealogy of all descendants of Bray Wilkins. It is, rather, a studied record of material now available about Bray Wilkins and the earlier gen­ erations of his family, presented at sufficient length to permit many of those now living to recognize and trace their lines of descent. In some instances the lineage has been carried to a late date to include individuals of distinction or families located in New England and elsewhere. The family of Bray Wilkins provides an interesting and perplexing genealogical study. The earlier generations had a marked proclivity for marrying immediate relatives and adher­ ing to favorite given names. When an alliance was formed out­ side the charmed communal Wilkins center at Will's Hill, it was the signaf for repeated inter-marriages. Thus we nnd twenty-four members of the Wilkins family marrying Peabodys; seven Wilkins children marrying seven sons and daughters of Cooley Smith; and similar multiple marriages with the Upton, Case, Weston and other families. Several futile attempts have been made to chronicle this family. Mrs. Martha J. Averill, a descendant, made the most ambitious attempt, but, tragically, when she passed on, un­ appreciative relatives and friends made a bonfire of a great quantity of irreplacable original documents and accumulated data. Walter M. Wilkins, of Buffalo, also had in mind a Wil­ kins genealogy as the last work of a busy life, but did not live to carry on. The temerity of the author in taking up the task is explain­ able only by a desire to preserve for the future data now avail­ able and in danger of being lost, and to clarify conflicting tradi­ tions which have long confused later generations. The family, with its many distinguished descendants, many more than are recorded herein, is worthy of a complete and exhaustive genealogy. It would embrace many thousand, perhaps tens of thousand, names, for the family is widely scattered in all parts of the nation. Perhaps some day there vii will be a Wilkins Family Association which will take up this work. H this volume serves as a foundation for such endeavor its publication will be well merited. The author is indebted to the staffs of the Essex Institute of Salem and the New England Historic Genealogical Society; Mrs. Benson P. Perley of Carlisle, Mass., and El Paso, Texas; Mrs. E. J. Fellowes of San Antonio, Texas, and others in the family, for their cooperation and help and also recognizes the value of information gleaned from numerous town histories and public documents in the New England area.

There is a tradition he came to Salem, Mass., with Governor Endicott about 1628, but as no list of those who came at that time is extant, it cannot be substantiated. The earliest definite record of his presence in this country is his signature on a paper acknowledging the allotment of_ 16 acres of land in Dor­ chester, Mass., dated January 16, 1632, at which time he was 22 years of age. His bil'th has been established as taking place in 1610, from statements made in court and church by himself and from his death record in the diary of Rev. Joseph Green, a contemporary. The ancestry of Bray Wilkins in Wales has not been es­ tablished. The authors of several historical works on old Salem, as well as the histories of several New England towns where members of the family settled, make significantly similar refer­ ences to Bray Wilkins as being a descendant of "Lord Wilkins" of Wales who was a connection of Bishop Wilkins, who mar­ ried a sister of the Protector, Oliver Cromwell. It is also alleged that he came from Brecknock county, in Wales. Bray is even definitely described as a "great grandson of Lord Wil­ kins" and some have gone so far as to produce a Wilkins coat of arms. Others make the claim Bray was a son of Lord Wil­ kins, Bishop of Chester. It seems to have been overlooked that Lord Wilkins was born in 1614, four years after Bray. There were many Wilkins families in Wales and there is much information about the family, running far back into English history, and it is quite likely Bray Wilkins had his antecedents in one or another of those families, but after dili- gent and thorough inquiry by English and Welsh authorities, conducted in the interests of this genealogy, it must be ad­ mitted no definite trace has been found as to Bray Wilkins' presence in Wales or of any who might be his immediate ,mces­ tors. The life and achievements of Bray Wilkins himself are sufficiently full and notable to bring distinction upon all his posterity. A neighbor of the descendants of Bray long ac­ quainted with the family, has said: "Among other early settlers none stood higher than this Bray Wilkins. He was known at Salem Village (Danvers) for 42 years as a pious and good citizen and a firm supporter of the church and parish." Upham, out­ standing recorder of old Salem, says: "Bray Wilkins had indus­ trious habits, a resolute will, a strong constitution and iron frame, and six stout sons." Another has said of the Wilkins family that they were "noted for their energy, industry, integ­ rity, piety, perseverence, fortitude, patience, resourcefulness, initiative, courage, loyalty and leadership." One could hardly ask more. Whether Bray Wilkins landed at Salem, which seems likely, or elsewhere, he was early closely identified with Dor­ chester, Mass., to the south of Boston. Having received his 16 acres of land in 1632, already referred to, Bray took the oath of freeman on May 14, 1634, which distinction at that time was bestowed on numerous men of the district by the General. Court. He was identified with the First Church in Dorchester,, his wife, Hannah, was a member in 1636, and he himself is recorded as having been admitted to the reorganized church in Dorchester on April 9, 1640. Dorchester church records of October 2, 1636 show that on that date it was ordered that Bray Wilkins "shall have six acres of upland in place of his great lot, being a little neck lying by Mr. Makepeace's and Mr. Bramer's meddowe." Again, in 1639, Bray was granted pasturage land on Thompson's island, provided he set forward fishing and contributed to school funds. It was stipulated in the

(the accepted manuscript version, post-peer review) From Tongue to Text: The Transmission of the Salem Witchcraft Examination Records1 Peter Grund, Uppsala University Introduction In the absence of audio recordings, scholars interested in studying the characteristics of spoken language in the early Modern period are forced to rely on written speech-related sources.2 These sources include, among others, drama and fiction dialogue, trial proceedings, and witness depositions. However, at the same time, it has been shown that, although purporting to represent spoken conversation, these texts probably reflect actual spoken language only partially and to different degrees (for the evaluation of the degree of “spokenness” of these text categories, see Culpeper and Kytö 2000; see also Kryk-Kastovsky 2000; Moore 2002). Drama and fiction dialogue, for example, represents constructed speech produced by an author who may have been more or less successful in mimicking contemporaneous spoken conversation.

The Latitudinarian Influence on Early English Liberalism Amanda Oh Professor Wellman HIST 4300: Junior Seminar 30 April 2018 Part I: Introduction The end of the seventeenth century in England saw the flowering of liberal ideals that turned on new beliefs about the individual, government, and religion. At that time the relationship between these cornerstones of society fundamentally shifted. The result was the preeminence of the individual over government and religion, whereas most of Western history since antiquity had seen the manipulation of the individual by the latter two institutions. Liberalism built on the idea that both religion and government were tied to the individual. Respect for the individual entailed respect for religious diversity and governing authority came from the assent of the individual.

  • WITCHCRAFT in SALEM VILLAGE. Harmony So
    134 WITCHCRAFT IN SALEM VILLAGE. given was that certain changes be made in the records. Harmony could not be secured, how- ever, and Mr. Lawson withdrew in 1688. Fol- lowing him came Rev. Samuel Parris, who was ordained on Monday, Nov. 19, 1689. It is evi- dent, therefore, that from the calling of Mr. Bayley in 1672 to the ordination of Mr. Parris in 1689 there was wanting in the parish that harmony so essential to church prosperity. That the disagreements about the settlements of the different pastors and over the parish rec- ords affected the minds of the people after the witchcraft delusion appeared among them there is little doubt. That it was the cause of the first charges being made seems hardly probable. George Burroughs, on leaving Salem Village, returned to Casco, Maine, He remained there a long time, for he and others were there in 1690 when the settlement was raided by Indians. Burroughs then went to Wells, Maine, and preached a year or more. There he was living in peace and quietness when the messenger from Portsmouth came to arrest him, at the demand of the Salem magistrates, in 1692. After leav- ing Salem Village he had married a third wife, a woman who had been previously married and of her own for after had children ; Burroughs' death, when the Massachusetts colony granted compensation to his family, his children com- plained that this third Mrs. Burroughs took the KEV. GEOBGE BUBBOUGHS. 135 entire amount for herself and her children/ Mr. Burroughs was a small, black-haired, dark com- plexioned man, of quick passions and possessing great strength.® We shall see by the testimony to be quoted further on that most of the evi- dence against him consisted of marvellous tales of his great feats of strength.
