OF THE
TOWN OF HINGHAM,

IN THREE VOLUMES. VOLUME II. GENEALOGICAL.

University Press : JOHN WILSON AND SON, CAMBRIDGE.
PREFACE.
THIS Genealogy of the Families of HINGHAM has been compiled in accordance with a vote of the committee appointed by the town to prepare and publish its history. It commences with the settlement of the town in 1635, and ends September 1, 1889.
Owing to the extent of the work, which has greatly exceeded the early estimates made for this portion of the history, it has been found necessary to curtail much of the material at hand relating to the heads of families ; and also to make free use of abbreviations. For the same reason the compiler was instructed to limit the records of families to those persons who are, or have been, residents of the town ; but where part of a family of children were born here, and others of the same family were born else- where, the whole have been given when the names could be ascertained, rather than to break the connection.
That there may be errors of omission and errors of date, as well as in the spelling of names (especially Christian names) in some portions of the work, which the genealo- gist of each family will notice, and perhaps criticise, is not improbable. But when it is considered that more than fifty thousand lines with as many Christian names and about three times the number of dates have been written and
viii
Preface.
re-written many times, - that the town, the parish, and family records often disagree concerning the same birth, marriage, or death, and that in many instances, especially of recent date, the facts required could not be ascertained from either public or private records, - it is hoped that the embarrassing conditions under which the writer has often labored, together with the magnitude of the undertaking, will in some measure be accepted as an excuse for whatever is unsatisfactory.
The plan adopted for the successive sketches is that which is in use by the New England Historical and Gen- ealogical Society. It is quite simple and easily understood by those who are familiar with genealogical investigations ; and to those who are not, a brief study will soon make clear its seeming mysteries. The figure which precedes the head of a family - if descended from the first settlers - denotes the number of families bearing the surname, and refers back to the family of the immediate ancestor, where the same person is designated, in the list of children, by the same number at the left of the Roman numeral. Following this rule it is easy to trace back through the whole an- cestral line to the progenitor. The Christian names and figures which are given in parenthesis after the head of a family denote the ancestral line and generation in consecu- tive order. The names in parenthesis which follow the heads of families who have been or are residents of the town, but whose ancestral line is not traced, refer to the parents, and include the mother's maiden name. Figures at the left of the Roman numeral refer forward, where the same number will precede the family history of the person designated.
ix
Preface.
Cohasset having formerly been a part of Hingham, and known as the east or second precinct, its families are in- cluded in the succeeding records up to 1770, when it was incorporated as a separate town.
The writer gratefully acknowledges his indebtedness to Charles B. W. Lane and Quincy Bicknell, of Hingham ; to Rev. Joseph Osgood and Aaron Pratt, of Cohasset; and to Gen. Samuel Andrews, Charles J. F. Binney, and Albert T. Whiting, of Boston, for the loan of valuable records. Also to Charles N. Marsh, Elijah Shute, Edwin D. Gardner, and David Cobb, Jr. for assistance in collecting information. Without the aid thus rendered some of the records would have been quite incomplete.
GEORGE LINCOLN.
OLD AND NEW STYLE.
A CCORDING to "Old Style" the year began on the 25th of March. and 1751 was the last year of "Old Style." In recording events which occurred from the 1st of January to the 25th of March before 1751, double dating has been practised in Hingham, as elsewhere. Ac- cording to "New Style" the year begins on the 1st of January, and 1752 was the first year of "New Style." The day following the 2d of September, 1752, was called the 14th, omitting eleven intermediate nominal days.
FREEMEN.
To be a freeman in the early history of the Colony was to be a member of the Church; and none but freemen could vote for rulers or be elected to office. The freeman's oath bound him to be a true and faithful subject of the government, and if called upon he was to yield assistance and support thereto with his person and estate.
Among the many laws enacted by the Colonists relating to freemen were the following: -
"1641. Every Court within this Jurisdiction where two Magistrates are present, may admit any Church Members, that are fit to be freemen, giv- ing them the Oath, and the Clerk of each Court shall certifie their Names to the Secretary at the next General Court."
"Oct. 15, 1673. As an addition to the Law Title Freeman (sec. iii). It is ordered by this Court, and the Authority thereof ; That henceforth, the Names of such as desire to be admitted to the Freedome of this Com- monwealth, not being Members of Churches in full Communion, shall be entered with the Secretary from time to time at the Court of Election, and Read over before the whole Court, sometime that Sessions, and shall not be put to Vote in the Court till the Court of Election, next following."

ANDREWS.
1. THOMAS, and his s. Joseph2, came from Devonshire, Eng., and settled in our Hing. prior to the arrival of Rev. Peter Hobart and his company in 1635. At the first drawing of house-lots, Sept. 18, 1635, he had five acres (including back land) granted to him on Town (North) St. His lot was the one upon which now stands the dwelling owned by heirs of the late Perez Lincoln. Whether he was related to any of the persons bearing this surname among the early settlers of Taunton, Ipswich, Cambridge, Dorchester, and other places in East- ern Massachusetts is uncertain. He was aged, and prob. old enough to have been the fa. of the Thomas who settled at Dorchester in 1634, and who had a s. Thomas bt. there June 23, 1639 ; but there is no rec. showing such a connection. Rev. Peter Hobart of Hing. wrote in his diary under date of Aug. 21, 1643, "Old Thomas Andrews dyed." From this expression I am led to infer that there were other per- sons bearing the same name who were kn. to Mr. Hobart; although in Hing. there was but one of the name, and he a lad of but ten or eleven yrs. of age.
2. JOSEPH 2 (Thomas 1), b. at Devonshire, Eng., ab. 1597, came early to Hing., and had a grant of a house-lot on Town (North) St., Sept. 18, 1635. The lot was next west of his father's, and contained five acres, inc. back land. At the May court in 1635 he was sworn as constable. In 1636, 1637, and 1638 he was one of the representatives of the town at the General Court. He also was the first town clerk of Hing. He

afts. removed to Dux., and in 1654 was surveyor of highways, and constable in 1664. Oct. 16, 1665, Joseph Andrews and his wife Eliz- abeth of Dux. convey to Thomas Andrews of Hing. "our natural son," "our house-lot and dwelling-house, out-buildings, etc., and 10 acres of land which was formerly given us by the town of Hingham, bounded on Town Street, south, Broad Cove, north," etc. At a later date he returned to Hing., and d. here 1 Jan. 1679-80, æt. 83 yrs. His wid. d. 12 Aug. 1688. His will, which is on file in the S. P. office, and "dated at Hingham 27 Sept. 1679," mentions and provides for w. Elizabeth ; gives to s. Joseph, among other valuables, " my sword, gold ring, and a bible ; " to s. Ephraim "the estate in New Jersey ; " men- tions dau's and gr. ch., and gives "to each of my grandsons that bear my name Joseph " a pewter platter.
