| 151 | John Phillips of Dorchester, a baker, came probably with the WinthropFleet in 1630. He applied 19 October of that year to be made freeman, butwas not sworn Freeman until 7 August 1632. By wife Joanna Dyer, he hadMary, b. Apr. 1633, died at 7 yrs.; John, 22 Apr. 1635; Martha, Apr.1636, died soon; Mary, again; Israel, 3 June 1642, died next year. By theGeneral Court he was appointed constable 1636; removed to Boston, becameone of the founder and a deacon of the second church on 5 June 1650. Hiswife died 22 October 1675, says the record and gr-st. (buried) 24 Oct.aged 80 years. but perhaps exaggerated or copied wrong. In Januaryfollowing he married widow Sarah Minor, and died 16 Dec. 1682, aged 77.His only child that reached maturity, Mary, married George Munjoy ofFalmouth, and after him Robert Lawrence of the same. John Mylom, cooper, house and garden; sold to John Phillips,biscuit-maker, in 1648, lots east of Hanover Street and north of the Coveand Mill Creek, Nos. 1 to 10 . It was upon this lot that one of theoldest buildings in Boston, half way up Cross street, existed to our day.Phillips, who had come from Dorchester, added to his estate adjacentlands, and built the stone house; which, when it was torn down in 1864,was considered the oldest building in Boston. It has been described byMr. Bynner, in Vol. I. of Memorial History of Boston. Shurtleff,Description of Boston, p. 667, has traced its history to our day.Phillips, before he died, sold the part of his lot next the water-side toCaptain Christopher Clarke. | PHILLIPS, John (I31497)

| 152 | John Robinson (1575-1625) was the pastor of the separatist Pilgrims' church in Leyden, Holland. The leadership and respect he gained as pastor is the primary reason the Pilgrims were so united together and able to overcome hardships that caused other groups in similar positions to fail. Robinson encouraged the Pilgrim church to move to the NewWorld, but when only a minority of his church decided to emigrate at first, he remained behind with the majority of the congregation in Leyden, planning to come later after the Colony was established and more people emigrated. His unexpected death in 1625 put an end to his plans. The last of the church members remaining in Leyden arrived at Plymouth in1629.

| 154 | John Stevens (Stephens), arrived in July, 1638 on the Confidence fromSouthampton. He traveled with his wife Elizabeth, mother Alice, brotherWilliam, and two servants John and Grace Lougie. John is listed at age31, "of Caversham, county Oxford, husbandman", and bound forNewbury.Elizabeth's age is not given; nor is Alice's. William is listedat age 21 with the same origin. He lived for a few years at Newbury, where he was admitted Freeman on May18, 1642, and in 1645 removed to Andover, Massachusetts, where he stayeduntil his death in 1662. Tradition says that their son Nathan, born about1645, was the first born of Andover. John and his son were both proprietors of Andover, Mass. He was a man ofnote and substance. He died Apr 11, 1662, at 56 years old, leaving hiswidow, Elizabeth. On 24 June 1662, administration of the estate wasgranted to her. She died 1 May 1694 at 80 years old. His gravestone has been enclosed in granite and placed near the old lotin the First Cemetery. | STEVENS, John (I22204)

| 155 | John Tillotson came from Halifax, Yorkshire, England and descends fromRalph Tilston, who in turn was related to Charlemagne, William theConqueror, and other notables including the more recent (1600s) JohnTillotson, the famed Archbishop of Canterbury. This line is of specialinterest to me, as my mother is directly descended from Edmund Tilson,who arrived in America in 1636, and who is also believed to be descendedof this family. The details of John's arrival to the new world are not known, but familytradition says that he and his sister, both orphaned, came on the Jamesof 1635, with Cotton Mather. John was 10 years old at that time, and mayhave been one of the many youngsters who were sent at the Church'sdirection to the colonies as conscripted servants. The first reference to John In Massachusetts places him in Rowley in1639. He was one of the initial settlers and original property owners ofRowley, a proprietor there in 1645. He moved to Newbury, Mass in 1648, toWindsor, Connecticut in 1660, then to the section of Saybrook that laterbecame the town of Lyme. John Tillotson married Dorcas Coleman in Newbury in 1648. They had threechildren, and Dorcas died in 1653/54 John re-married to Jane Evans. Theyhad four children together. Three of the four were born in Newbury,Mass., and the last was born in Saybrook, Connecticut. The family removedto Saybrook about 1660. John died in Lyme, in 1670. The town records indicate that John had a temper and an poor dispositon.I suspect that John was avoided by many of the townfolk, and his name isincluded in numerous official entries such as the following: - 1650: "John Tillotson, it is well knowne what he is, the town gave him30s but this winter to make a bane." - Sept. 1650: "John Tillotson was sued by James Noyes for killing hismare, for which he had to pay 27 pounds. John did not like this. He waslater presented in a public church meeting for 'scandalous andreproachful speech cast upon the elders and authorities." - 1656: "John Tillotson was admonished for chaining his wife to thebedpost with a plow chain to keep her within doors." - Nov 1657: Court in Ipswich. "John Tilison sentenced to the house ofcorrection, but released and bound to "good behavior and to live with hisand prvyde for her according to his place as a husband ought to doe." - 1659: "John Tilison, upon complaint of Mr. Drummer, fined for falseoath, and to pay fees of the Constable of Newbury." To add to this list of black marks, John also had a child before hismarriage to Dorcas Coleman. No mother is named. The child named as MaryTillotson was born 17 Mar 1648 and probably died at birth. When Johndied he left an estate valued at eighty-four pounds. | TILLOTSON, John (I278)

| 156 | JOHN WARD, freeman, 1649, proprietor of Sudbury, 1651, m. Hannah, b.Eng., 1631, dau. of Mr. Edward Jackson, of Cambridge, that part nowNewton, about 1650, where he settled, and was Selectman nine years, andnine years Representative (not sixteen as said by Farmer) in "The Greatand General Court;" he lived in the Southeasterly part of the town -- hisdwelling house was constructed for, and used as a garrison prior to, andat the time of King Philip's war, 1675-6. In 1701 he disposed of his realestate, lying mostly in one body, by deeds of gift to his sons. Thequantity of land to each was about one hundred acres, and in each deedwas a clause restricting the grantee from selling without the consent ofhis brothers, or the major part of them. When any one of them sold, hisbrothers witnessed the deed, and thereby gave their implied consent tothe sale. He made his will, Feb. 2, 1708, and d. at Newton, July 8, 1708,aged 82, and his wife Hannah, April 24, 1704, aged 73. | WARD, John Turner (I13710)

| 159 | Jozef's middle name, Frederick, is not on his birth certificate and may have been self-assigned later in life. Perhaps to differentiate between himself and his father? He usually went by "Joe" and changed his last name to Richards to Anglicize it. According to Sheila, Jozef's daughter: ([Dad] and his brother left home when [he] was 14 or so. They'd been smoking under the school and accidentally burned it down. Gimli Manitoba.) Grandpa's dad kept getting Joe's draft notices, Canadian army was drafting them. Great grandpa kept going down to register and they'd say, "No there must be some mistake, you're far too old." When Milly and Joe were first married, Jozef was speaking German to a gas station attendant one day. Milly laughed at him and said it sounded funny and he never spoke German again. Dawn's note: Grandpa Joe was a professional card dealer at one point before he married Milly. I personally saw him stack the deck while making it look like he was simply shuffling it. He once had a pool hall in Claresholm, AB. Joe's Billiards, it was called. He was a whiz at pool and cards. I learned to play Crib at his knee. I loved Grandpa Joe so much. He had such a kind, gentle soul. ----------------------- Obituary RICHARDS - Mr. Joe Richards, of Calgary, passed away at the Calgary General Hospital on January 31, 1989 at the age of 82 years.

| 160 | JP Kirkpatrick site says: This John Kirkpatrick b. ca. 1712 is most probably the John Kirkpatrick listed as having been born ca. 1715 in Scotland; brother to James Kirkpatrick known as "The Immigrant" for the South Carolina Branch of the family. | KIRKPATRICK, John "the Immigrant" (I157)

| 161 | Kirkpatrick Gold newsletter, Nov 15/91: Her mother was of the Thompsons. Her father was of mixed blood, being the decendant, many generations back, of the original Hudson Bay Factor at Winnipeg (a Scot named Johnny Barr and his Cree wife). Emma Bar's father, Jimmy Barr, was the factor at Fort Kamloops, as was his father before him. | BARR, Emma (Quimetco) (I110)

| 162 | Kirkpatrick Newsletter (cited) gives only a vague hint about this guy: Thomas Kirkpatrick, Sr. (wife may have been "Irish") From Dumfries, Scotland, via Ireland To U.S.A. in 1738 Thomas and his descendents are speculative upon this information being correct. Immigration date was probably 1736, when his brothers came over, unless he came after them? | KIRKPATRICK, Thomas (I84464)

| 163 | Land surveyor and large land owner in Barnstable. Thomas was admitted freeman June 3, 1656. In a deposition taken April 4,1701 he stated "about 80 years of age". Based on other sources, webelieve Thomas was born earlier and before his father started the churchin Egerton. We believe Thomas was actually the eldest son born February21, 1612/13. The "Genealogical Notes of Barnstable Families" refer to Thomas Lothrop'swife as "Wid. Sarah Ewer." In the 1888 book at the CaliforniaGenealogical Society Library, someone pencilled in "(Learned)" as themaiden name for Widow Sarah Ewer. Note: Thomas Lothrop is the 4th great grandfather of the inventor, EliWhitney, the 6th great grandfather of the Financier, John Pierpont Morganand the 8th great grandfather of U.S. President George Herbert WalkerBush. He is the 10th great grandfather of Gordon B. Hinckley, the 15thPresident of the Mormon Church. | LOTHROP, Thomas (I21695)

| 164 | Large land-owner in Milford, New Hampshire, and recorded deeds show thathe owned several lots in Wilton. He built a saw and grist-mill, thesecond mill in Wilton, where the Messrs. Whiting's grist-mill now stands. We find the first mention of the mill in the town records for April 27,1768; see page 69 [of Wilton History]. Nathan gave to his son, Samuel,the west part of lots numbered 12 and 13, first range in Wilton, and tohis son, Ebenezer, the east part of same lots, both deeds dated March 9,1788. (History of the Town of Wilton, Hillsborough County, New Hampshire,by Abiel Abbot Livermore and Sewell Putnam, Lowell, Massachusetts, Marden& Rowell, Printers, 1888, p. 416.) In 1744, Benjamin Hopkins sold to Nathan Hutchinson of Billerica,Massachusetts, a section of the 'Charlestown school farm' of the width offifty rods. This farm is now owned by Edwin D. Searles. Mr. Hutchinsonestablished himself upon his farm in 1748, being, at the time, thirty-oneyears old, and a descendant of Richard Hurchinson who came to America in1634. Richard was the ancestor of most of his name who have lived intown...From the day of his settlement here, until the day of his deceasein 1795, Nathan Hutchinson was one of the most active and useful citizensof the town. Upon a map of New Hampshire published in 1784, his name,and that of John Shepherd, appear in connection with the locality inwhich they resided, indicating, perhaps, their prominence in publicestimation. His posterity have been and are numberous and influential intown affairs. (The History of Milford, by George A. Ramsdell, Concord,N. H.: The Rumford Press, 1901, pp. 31-2.) SETTLEMENT AT SOUHEGAN WEST: Two settlers were known to have reached Souhegan West, later calledAmherst, by 1735 (Walton and Lampson... see notes re Joseph (3). Forseveral years the meetings of the Society continued to be held in SalemVillage, as shown by the minutes of the Proprieters Records. It is notknown when the other grantees went to take up their land, but by 1743 or4 enough of them had moved that in the Proprieters Record we find thefollowing: 'At a meeting Feb 10, 1743-4 at James Phillips, Salem Village,voted that the meeting for ensuing year shall be at the meeting house atSouhegan West No. 3 on 30th of January next at 10 o'clock before noon.' There is a very unique fact about this Meeting House. The first meetinghouse was built by the proprieters of Souhegan West. The frame wasprobably raised May 16, 1739 and the building completed in 1753. In 1757the town voted to build a new place of worship upon the training field.It remained the property of the town until 1832 when because ofdenominational strife it was sold at auction and purchased by theCongregational Society. The town reserved its right to its use for townpurposes and also reserved to the town the front of the church, thesteeple and bell. It 1836 it was moved to the present site and the townbuilt the basement. Eleven men with their brave wives (among the list given are Nathan andAbner Hutchinson) were all settled before the year 1755 and were in thefront ranks of the founders of Milford, were indeed about the onlyinhabitants. The territory of Souhegan West included what is now Amherst,Milford and Mount Vernon. It was all incorporated under the name ofAmherst in 1760. At that time the territory had 800 people and less than100 houses. Milford was separated and incorporated in 1798. Mount Vernonwas incorporated in 1804. EARLY HUTCHINSON SETTLERS: The first Hutchinson who is recorded as being in Amherst is Nathan. Hisname appears on the tax list in 1753. However, the Hutchinson genealogyspeaks of his son Benjamin being born in Amherst in 1744. His descendentsto the sixth generation live in a house that was built in 1743 byBenjamin, the father of Nathan, but as the evidence in the Genealogypoints to a belief that Benjamin never came to Amherst, it is probablethat Nathan built it. | HUTCHINSON, Nathan Captain (I15642)

| 165 | Last will and testament printed in Mar/94 Kirkpatrick Gold. Obituary appeared in the Vancouver Sun, 24 July 1912: PIONEER IN PROVINCE STRIKES LAST TRAIL Royal City Sustains Loss by the Death of Mr. Herman Otto Bowe, Well Known Cattleman. NEW WESTMINSTER, July 23 - Death yesterday claimed Mr. Herman Otto Bowe, one of the pioneer cattlemen of British Columbia, and a well known resident of this city. The late Mr. Bowe was 78 years of age and was born in Hamburg, Germany. He came to British Columbia from California and started a store during the gold fever at Big Bar, Lillooett, which he conducted successfully for several years. In 1861, in partnership with Judge Elwin, he took up ranching at Alkali Lake, B.C., and is said to have been the first to enter the cattle business in British Columbia, or at least on the lower mainland, following up the business for fifteen years when he became a resident of this city. He was also known as a breeder of fast horses which was one of his favorite hobbies, and his Lillooet ranch became noted as one of the best breeding places in British Columbia. In early years his task as a pioneer cattleman was an extremely difficult one. Judge Elwin, his former partner, supplying an equal share of the capital with which Mr. Bowe brought his first stock of cattle to the ranch. The first winter was a particularly arduous one, and half of the herd perished from insufficient feed. By persistent effort and honorable dealing he soon overcame his misfortune and prospered, disposing of his interests in the cattle industry three years ago. He was highly respected by all who knew him as a man of unquestioned integrity and a factor in the upbuilding of the community and the province. Mr. Bowe is survived by his wife and three children, John Bowe, Mrs. Kirkpatrick of Hope and Mrs. Eagle of Vancouver. The funeral will take place from the undertaing parlors of Messrs. Murchie and Son, tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. | BOWE, Herman Otto (I76)

| 167 | Letter from Mildred (Charlton) May to "Uncle Bill", unknown date, but may have been before he passed away - perhaps he was ill: Dearest Uncle Bill: The joy you brought to me, is most beautiful!! You took my Sheila and Fern in tow, and taught them many things, they would never have known about. You made my Pete's day, when we had lunch in the barns, during the Stampede!! It was a highlight in our lives. To see the big "calves(?)" suckling at the nursing cow, was rather startling, even to me! But you made your crown, Dear Unk, by the ribbons you won! I also have the many laughs, we shared, which go by the wayside, but dear Bill, we love you and have courage! Your Milly, and family | RICHARDS, Sheila Rose (I6)

| 169 | Little is known of Mr. Perley till he settled in Boxford, in 1683. He wasof Topsfield in 1657, the year he became of age, and in 1658; of Ipswichin 1668 and 1669, and was living in Rowley "beyond Bachelours brook,"according to his father's will, in 1670, and was said to have been ofNewbury in 1677. "John Pearly, Boxford," was made freeman "22 March,1689-90," and "John Pearly, Boxford, October, 1690," which is probablythe completion of the preceding record. That he married (Mary Howlett),is determined from the birth of his first child. It is supposed that hebuilt the house that stood over the cellar now visible in the pasturebelonging to Benj. S. Barnes, Esq., and near the "great meadow," and inwhich his great-grandson Nathaniel is said to have been born. Previous to1683, he owned a considerable part of "the great meadows." Mr. Perley was a carpenter and housewright by trade. The First Churchmeeting-house in Boxford was built largely under his supervision, hebeing on most of the committees relating to it; and he exercised hisskill and labor in its construction. He was on a committee to consultabout building the first corn-mill in Bradford, which was located onJohnson's creek. He was chosen on a committee to lay out "necessary"roads, in Boxford, in 1686, the year following the town's incorporation.He was chosen, 19 Aug., 1687, and also the year following, a"commissioner" to aid the selectmen in assessing the taxes. Himself, hisbrother Thomas and Thomas Andrew were a committee to consult with thetown of Rowley, sometime during the winter of 1689-90, about the boundsbetween the two towns; and he and others were a committee to perambulatethe line, the next April. He was a representative to the General Court,for the quarterly sessions, beginning 12 Feb., 1690, and 3 Feb., 1691. Hewas selectman in 1691, 1695 and 1700, and at other times filled otheroffices of important trust. He was one of the committee who received thedeed of the town from the Indians in 1701-2. He was chosen ensign in themilitia in 1689. He is the first (Perley) born on American soil,--which has been spoken ofas an honor, an indigenous honor over all the family for all time. | PERLEY, John (I19941)

| 170 | Lived with her aunt, Sarah Perley, from age 7, after father's death in1712. Elizabeth Perley was born in Essex 10 Oct., 1705, and died 4 March, 1742,near the birth of her eighth child. She married in 1730 Comfort Starr,who was born 9 Aug., 1696, to Deacon Comfort and Mary-Stone Starr,founders of the Dedham branch of that family, and died in Killingly, Ct.,13 Feb., 1775. He was living in Dedham in 1720. In 1723 he bought 1000acres of land in the North Parish of Killingly, afterwards selling apart, but reserving what still later became his homestead, a little westof Brandy hill, now in the town of Thompson. Quotations from the churchrecords say that "Comfort Starr and others worked on the newmeeting-house; that Jan. 28, 1730, was kept a day of fasting and prayerto humble ourselves before God for our past trespasses and to implore thedevine on us and all our concerns--more especially on the solemntransactions that are before us"--the formation of a church. Mr. Starrwas a signer to the covenant. He was a prominent man in town and church.In sealed instruments he is styled "husbandman." A fine, curious desk,which belonged to him, and perhaps to his grandfather, and many of hisdeeds are still extant. Mrs. Sarah Knapp of Killingly became his secondwife 3 Nov., 1763. | PERLEY, Elizabeth (I13047)

| 171 | Many of the Lords of New Hampshire trace their descent to Robert, theimmigrant, who since he settled in New England before 1650, is entitledto be called a pioneer. Sterling worth and upright in character have beenattributes of the Lords as a family, and many of them have attainedpositions of prominence in manufactures, trades and the professions. Robert Lord, the immigrant, was born in England in 1603, and appears tohave been the son of widow Catherine Lord, who was residing in Ipswich,Massachusetts, in 1637, and was a commoner in 1641. Robert Lord took the freeman's oath at Boston, March 3, 1636. His houselot on High street was granted to him February 19, 1637, which propertyremains a possession of his descendants. He was one of Denison'ssubscribers in 1648; had a share in Plum Island, in 1664; and was a voterin town affairs in 1679. He was on a committee with Richard Saltonstalland others, empowered to grant house lots to settlers, in 1645. He wasrepresentative in 1638; selectman in 1661 and many years after; and wasappointed "searcher of the coin" for the town of Ipswich in 1654. He waslong town clerk, and also clerk of the court till his decease. The latteroffice included the duties now performed by the clerk of probate andregister of deeds. He served more than twenty years in the Indian wars and became so inuredto camp life and exposure that he could never afterwards sleep upon afeather bed. He is said to have been below the medium stature, but ofpowerful mould and one of the most athletic, strong, and fearless men inthe Colonial service. There is a tradition that the Indians themselves atone time, when confronted by Lord's rangers, proposed to decide thebattle that was anticipated by an encounter between the champions of thetwo parties; to this the whites agreed, and Robert Lord walked to thefront. The Indians selected the most powerful of their tribe, a perfectgiant, full seven feet in stature. The two men were to meet at full runand take the "Indian hug" as they closed. The savages anticipated an easyvictory. They came together with a tremendous shock, but in an instant the redskinlay stretched upon the earth, and the shouts of the Colonial scouts rangout in the forest. Not satisfied with a single experiment, they wererequired to rush and clinch again. In this encounter Lord took the"hip-lock" on his antagonist and threw him with such force that a bloodvessel was ruptured in the fall. The Indians took him up and carried himfrom the arena, fully acknowledging themselves defeated. They afterwardreported that some whiteman's devil invested Lord with supernaturalstrength. | LORD, Robert (I13791)

| 172 | Margaret had a breakdown after William died. In the Church records of thetime, it was noted that: "Margaret Cheany widow having been long bound bySatan under a melancholick distemper, (above 10 or 11 yeares) which madeher wholy neglect her Calling & live mopishly, this day (24 Mar 1673)gave thanks to God for loosing her chain & confessing & bewailing hersinful yielding to temptation" Despite William's careful provision for Margaret in his will, herwidowhood was not without financial problems. She petitioned the courtregarding her son Thomas' treatment of her, to which it responded: "Inanswer to the petition of Margaret Cheeny, widdow: The Court Orders thatThomas Cheeny her Son pay unto his sd Mother Five pounds in mony everyquarter of the yeare, yearely for the improvement of the Estate left by his Father & give her goodassurance of her living peaceably with him, otherwise that hee leave thehouse; the Estate being judged to bee worth twenty five pound in mony perannum (Suffolk County Court, 749, dated 31 October 1676)". Two years later Margaret married Mr Burge (or Burges or Burdge) and movedto Boston. She was dismissed from the Roxbury church on April 9, 1682 andwas received by the old South Church, Boston on May 19, 1682 - each clerkrefered to her as the "widow Cheney." She made a will on 9/23/1686, and died sometime later that year.According to an entry in the Roxbury church records, Margaret was buriedbeside her former husband at Roxbury. | CULE, Margaret (I13752)

| 173 | Margaret traveled to America with her mother, Mrs Eylin Hanford "of Fremington, county Devon", bound for Scituate, and her sister Elizabeth. They arrived at Boston on the ship Planter on June 7, 1635. Ages listed aer 46 (Mrs.), 16 (Margaret), and 14 (Elizabeth). Her mother's age is probably mis-stated, as she had been baptised three years earlier. | HANFORD, Margaret (I25140)

| 174 | Margery, then married to Christopher Osgoode "of Marlborough, countyWilts", came to America aboard the Mary and John, which sailed fromSouthampton March 24, 1633/34. Her arrival is not recorded. Margery is listed as Margery Osgoode, but also on that vessel were herparents and 5 of her siblings. After Christopher's death in August, 1649, Margery remarried to ThomasRowell. Thomas was an original Propriator of Salisbury, and there was amarriage contract written in February 1650 that details the arrangementsin the event of his death. This contract was entered to the Court on the30th of Sept., 1662, shortly after Thomas Rowell's death. Some of hisestate was on the Indian Plains, being the third division meadow, on thewest side of Shawshine river, and upland in the swamp division. Margery last married Thomas Coleman, about 1682. | FOWLER, Margery (I19801)

Her will dated 30 Jan 1839 in Morgan County, IL, is a little more interesting [than Thomas']. She gives $250 to Charles Alford and Jonathan Hart Kirkpatrick, her two youngest sons. She gives to daughters Emily and Sarah Louisa (Loiza) $20 each; $50 to Pope Curtis Kirkpatrick, son of her son Richard H. Kirkpatrick, deceased; and the rest to share equally in monies raised by the sale of her property, that is, says the will, one-twelfth part to James H., John L., Joseph L., William P., Emily, Sarah, Jesse W., Thomas M., Francis A., Charles 'Alphred' (Alford), and Jonathan Hart, "each of them being my sons and daughters", also one-twelfth part to the children of my daughter Winifred, "now deceased". John L. Kirkpatrick and Daniel Troy were named executors. Witnesses were John Fox and John H. Barton. Filed with the papers is an inventory made March 1839 giving details of notes held against the estate and other details. Among those listed are John L. Kirkpatrick, Francis Kirkpatrick and Asa C. New. (See Thomas Newton Kirkpatrick's notes for more information.) | LANE, Mary Ann "Polly" (I82)

| 179 | Mr. Perley came to this country, at the age of twenty-two years, in thefleet with Governor Winthrop, and located in "Charlestowne Village," onland which is now included in the city of Woburn and called "Button-end,"near a tract of meadow... which has been known for two and a halfcenturies as "Parly meddowe," through which meanders a brook spanned by aplank bridge... six and a half feet wide, and known as "Parly brook." Thename is found in probate records, and in the colonial records, 2:75, asit is spelled above; and it is pronounced by the citizens of Woburn todayas it is here spelled. He located in Ipswich, on High street, a short distance from GovernorBradstreet and the Waldo family. The place was and is the second houselotnorthwest of the High-street cemetery, and it is remarkable that it hasthe same shape and area now that it had then--two and a half centuriesago. Alexander Knight's homestead was on the northwest, George Smith's onthe southeast, "a drift way" on the northeast, and High street on thesouthwest. At present the new part of the cemetery is on the northeast. It was a picturesque spot. Located on the western slope of Town hill andagreeably elevated from the street, it commanded a fine view of theverdant slopes of Turkey and Timber hills and the ridge-range of housesalong Scott's lane, the present Washington street. The deep frontage ofhis lot afforded ample opportunity to arrange a spacious avenue from thestreet to his dwelling, with flowering plants and shrubbery on eitherside, after the fashion of the average gentleman of the old country.Whatever he did in the matter, his selection of grounds of such possibleimprovements, attest his good taste and judgment, educated, no doubt, bythe experiences of his early life. There he brought his young wife andbegan the business of life anew; there most of his children were born;thence have radiated the family name and influence. He resided there about seventeen years, selling, 3 Sept., 1652, for œ27,his "dwelling house and homestead" to Walter Roper, carpenter, ofTopsfield. Mr. Perley was a large land-holder, and besides possessions in Essex,Rowley and Boxford, he had in Ipswich, in 1635, land at Heartbreak hill;in 1640, 1:3 mo., a road from Rowley to Salem was laid out "over thefalls at Mile river and by marked trees over Mr. Appleton's meadowe,called Parlye meadowe": he was a commoner in 1641; he owned a houselot onMill street in 1642, the street being now called Washington, and the lotbeing traversed by Mt. Pleasant street; he had a planting lot on Townhill in 1645: "att a meeting of the seven men the 3th (5) 1651" there was"granted to Alen Perlye (in exchange for Thirty acres more or less atChebacco lyeing on the west syde of his meddowe) the sume of forty-fiveacres of upland (This land was then sometimes called, or was contignonsto, the "Sorton Reserve," land set a part for Rev. John Norton's brother,who declined to pe??py it.

In 1670, he had liberty of thetown to cut timber for a "barne." He was admitted to the privileges of freemen, 18 May, 1642; was a grandjuror 25 Sept., 1660, and at various times was witness to legaldocuments, and served on important committees, he was upon the coroner'sjury in the case of his neighbor. | PERLEY, Allan (I21718)

| 181 | Nathaniel BISCOE - bap. Nov. 16, 1595, Little Missenden, Buckinghamshire,England. Married Oct. 21, 1615, Little Missenden; d. England. Son ofEdward BISCOE and Alice TAYLOR. He was at Watertown, Massachusetts by1642. Selectman 1648 and 1650, he was a tanner by trade. In 1642 he wroteand circulated privately a pamphlet "against the way of supportingministers," that gave great offense, and for which he was fined tenpounds. In that year, his barn, with leather and corn, amounting to Ð100,was destroyed by fire. He was so dissatisfied with the prevalentecclesiastical intolerance in the Colonies that he returned to Englandabout the end of 1651, leaving four children by wife Elizabeth inMassachusetts. | BISCOE, Nathaniel (I13775)
|
| 182 | Nathaniel Wilson was a planter who initially settled at Roxbury. He mayhave been from Yorkshire, as in 1647 he appointed John Wilson,cloth-worker, of Halifax in Yorkshore to collect a legacy left to him byNathaniel Holgate of Halifax, deceased. "19 (6) 1648 Nathaniel Wilson ofRoxbury granted unto Joseph Wood of Ovenden in Yorkshire his right &title unto a certain Messuage in Ovenden wth all the lands unto the samebelonging. & This was by an absolute deed of sale Dat. 19 (6) 1648."[from Aspinwall's A Volume Relating to the Early History of Boston, pg.153]. Nathaniel sold his house in Roxbury Feb. 16, 1652 and removed toCambridge Village, now Newton. There he purchased 150 acres of land andbuilt his house close to the West Roxbury line, possibly in Muddy River. He died Sep 17, 1692, aged 70 years. Sons Nathaniel & Samuel administeredhis estate, whose total valuation was 219 pounds, 14 shillings. | WILSON, Nathaniel (I30988)
|
| 183 | Nicholas Baker and his brother Nathaniel came from England to America inthe spring or early summer of 1635. He was educated in England, receivedhis Bachelors degree in 1631/2 and a Masters in 1635. He drew a house lot in Hingham, Mass on 18 Sept. 1635. He became aFreeman on 3 March 1635/6, sixth in a sequence of eight Hingham men.Nicholas or his wife, or perhaps both, belonged to the Hingham church asearly as 1638, and several of their children were baptized there. Theyremoved to Hull, and he applied to the General Court on Aug 2, 1642 toplant at Seekonk, but apparently did not go. In 1660 they went insteadfrom Hull to Scituate, perhaps because he was ordained the third ministerof the First Church there. He successfully brought together the first and the second churches whichhad quarrelled for twenty years. Cotton Mather tells us that "I amcontent that there should be received (for the saints of this catalogueof early New England ministers already departed have received him) honestMr. Nicholas Baker of Scituate; who, though he had but a privateeducation, yet, being a pious and zealous man; or as Dr. Arrowsmithexpresses it, so good a logician that he could offer up to God areasonable service; so good an orator, that he persuaded himself to be agood Christian; and being also one of good natural parts, especially of astrong memory, was chosen pastor of the church there; and in the pastoralcharge of that church he continued about eighteen years, until thathorror of mankind, and reproach of medecine, the stone (under which hepreached patience by a very memorable example of it; never letting fallany word worse than this, which was an usual word with him, 'A mercy ofGod it is no worser!' put an end unto his days." The Last Will and Testament Nicholas was probated at Plymouth the 30th ofOctober 1678, on the oaths of Major James Cudworth and Thomas Clapp. Thewill mentions second wife Grace, sons Samuel and Nicholas, daughters,Mary, Elizabeth, Sarah and Deborah, wife's grandchild, Mary Web, andgrandchild, Mercy Baker. It appoints wife Grace Executrix, and eldest sonSamuel as joint executor with her. It appoints brother, Nathaniel Baker,and "my loving kinsman", John Loring, to be overseers. | BAKER, Nicholas (I25137)
|
| 184 | Nicholas emigrated from England around 1638. Nicholas Hathaway, sixth of eight sons and one daughter of Thomas and Margret Hathaway of Kingscote, county of Gloucestershire, (in the beautiful Cotswolds or sheep country), is listed in Margaret's will of November 2, 1630. After disposing of her farm, equipment, sheep, family belongings, and a lot of money, she willed to "my sonne Nicholas of London, five pounds, five shillings." Nicholas had removed from Gloucester to London where he was a brewer. He was the progenitor of the largest branch of Hathaways in America. The name has been recorded with various spellings, such as Hadaway, Haddeway,Hathaway, Hathway, Hatheway, Hathwey, Hathwaye, etc. He was probably born about 1595, at perhaps what is known today as Binley Farm in Kingscote, England. His death record has never been found, either in New England or Old England, where some descendants believe he returned. Nicholas arrived in New England before February of 1638/9 and was in Braintree in 1642. It's possible he had two other sons named Jacob and Joseph. Maps included in the Hathaway family history of Freetown, Massachusetts, show sites such as the Hathaway Library, a house built by Dr. Nicholas Hathaway in 1806, Silas Hathaway's Creek, Hathaway Wharf, the home of the Hon. Elnathan Hathaway, and the marker at the first John Hathaway house. It notes John Jr. had the first licensed tavern and owned a share in the iron factory there as well as perhaps a shipyard. | HATHAWAY, Nicholas (I31135)

| 185 | Nicholas Holt came to Boston alone, on the James from England arrivingJune 3, 1635. He is listed at age 27, "of Romsey, county Hants, tanner"and bound for Newbury. He was a resident of Newbury for about 10 years.He had a house and lot in Newbury, also two field lots, one of 300 acres,and one of 40 acres, "over the little river." The first book of Newbury church records is lost, but he was undoubtedlya member, or he could not have become a freeman. In 1637 he was one often Newbury men who in order to prevent the re-election of Sir Henry Vaneas governor, and to strengthen the friends of John Winthrop, traveledforty miles on foot to Boston, and qualified themselves to vote by takingthe freeman's oath there on May 17th. Winthrop was later chosen governor. Nicholas removed to Andover, residing there in 1644. He is one of theOriginalSettlers, 6th on the list of Householders. He was one of thefounders of the church there in 1645. He was one of the ten male members composing the church at the ordinationof Reverend John Woodbridge in 1645. In 1647 he was appointed to lay outthe way from Reading to the "new town, and to view the river and reportto the next court of the necessity and charge of a bridge." In 1652 hewas appointed with two others to lay out the bounds of Andover and in1653 to lay out the highway to Reading (the "way" by that time havingbecome inadequate). He sold his Newbury property in 1652. He had ahouselot of fifteen acres in Andover, also 160 acres meadow and 360 acreson Stoney Plain. He deposed in a court case on 11 April 1671, giving his age as aboutsixty-three, which is probably correct. In 1680 he conveyed land "forlove and affection I bear to my daughter Sarah, not long since married toRoger Marks." He disposed of the rest of his estate among his childrenbefore his death and did not leave a will. Nicholas' first wife was Elizabeth or Priscilla, believed to be ElizabethShort of Newbury, sister of Henry Short who settled at Ipswich and latermoved to Newbury. Her name has not been confirmed. He married secondly, Hannah Bradstreet who was the widow of DanielRofe/Rolfe. He married thirdly, Martha, widow of Roger Preston. | HOLT, Nicholas (I17370)

| 186 | Nicholas Jackson's name was on the list of those to be transported toVirginia on the ship Assurance in July, 1635. He may have been the son ofNicholas Jackson of Hunsley, England. Essex Institute Volume 44, page 308gives baptisms of Rowley, county of York, before 1635. John, son ofNicholas was baptized August 24, 1623 and the book states that Nicholasof Rowley, Mass. might be a son also. Hunsley was a hamlet three milesnorthwest of Rowley. The earliest registers of this English town haveperished and no records are to be found prior to 1653. Nicholas was in Salem, Mass in 1638 and came to Rowley in 1639/40, wherehe had a grant of land on Holmes Street, which is now Central street,also a lot of two and one half acres by the Cart Path. His name ismentioned many times in the early town records. ("Original List ofImmigrants" by Hutten) The First Church of Rowley, Mass. was gathered December 3, 1639. NicholasJackson's name was on the list of members in full communion. (fromNicholas Jackson of Rowley, Massachusetts and his Descendants). | JACKSON, Nicholas (I22857)
