LATHAM FAMILY. The available facts in re- gard to the Latham ancestry are as follows : William Latham, then a youth in charge of Gen. Carver, was a passenger on the "Mayflower" in 1620, and though not named as one of that company of venturers his passage on the first ship is vouched for in Bradford's history. Young Latham was at Duxbury in 1637, at Marshfield in 1643 and 1648, and the same year went to the Bahamas, where he died.

Robert Latham, who was a constable in Marsh- field in 1643, is made a son of the "Mayflower" voy- ager by Mitchell, in his Family Register, published in Bridgewater, Mass., in 1840. Robert lived at Cambridge for several years, and took the oath of fidelity at Marshfield in 1657, removing to East Bridgewater in 1667. In 1649 he married Susanna, daughter of John Winslow (a brother of Gov. Ed- ward Winslow) and of his wife, whose mother was the historic Mary Chilton, said to be the first female to set foot on Plymouth shores. Mary Chilton was a daughter of James and Susanna Chilton, both of whom died the first winter after reaching America in 1620. The children comprising Robert Latham's family were as follows: Mercy, born at Plymouth in 1650; James ; Chilton; Joseph ; Elizabeth ; Han- nah, and Sarah.

Cary Latham, whom Savage declares probably a brother of Robert the constable, married Eliza- beth, daughter of John Masters, who married the widow of Edmund Lockwood. To Cary Latham and his wife were born children whose births are re- corded in Boston as follows: Thomas and Joseph, born respectively in September, 1639, and October, 1642.
