Old families of Salisbury and Amesbury.
The undersigned has prepared a genealogy of the "OLD FAMILIES OF SALISBURY AND AMESBURY, MASS., WITH SOME RELATED FAMILIES OF NEW- DURY, HAVERHILL, IPSWICH, and HAMPTON." The volume which is now ready for publication brings the record down to about the year 1700, in- cluding the first three or four generations of the early settiers. It not only contains all births, marriages, and deaths to be found on the town records, but all Salisbury and Amesbury names, from all accessible sources, down to 1700, arranged in alphabetical order.
Nearly 5,000 persons are arranged in families, bearing about 235 sur- names. The following list includes only about one-half of these names, omitting most of those borne by the smallest number of persons. Names printed in small capitals represent the largest families included in the work.

Many of the above are not properly early Salisbury and Amesbury names, and may be omitted if it is found necessay to abridge the volume.
The first portion of the work contains many ancient lists of names and other original documents, which are introductory to the genealogy proper. Specimen pages of both portions of the work are sent with this circular.
The number of subscriptions received in response to the circular issued two years ago is so small that the author can not engage to print the whole at so great an expense to himself. It is, therefore, proposed to issue the work in parts, at $1.00 each. Part I will be issued as soon as a suffi- cient number of subscriptions have been received to pay the cost of printing that part. The number of pages included in it will depend upon the number of subscribers.
If the whole work can not be printed without too great a loss, the manu- script will be deposited in the library of the New England Historic Genea- logical Society, in Boston.
"Those who are interested in genealogy are beginning to recognize the fact that they should reckon their descent from many other families as well as the male line whose surname they bear, the number doubling with each generation as one reckons backwards. Many persons belonging to old Amesbury and Salisbury families are descended from twenty to fifty of the first settlers of this country, and the number would be two or three times as great if the same names were not reached in different lines by inter-marriage. A genealogy of this kind should interest not only those who now live in Amesbury, Merrimac, Salisbury, and vicinity, but also great numbers of families which have migrated from those towns to New Hampshire, Maine, and all the New England states; to New York and all the middle and western states, and even to Canada."-From Circular No. I.
The undersigned has now on hand fifty copies of the " Genealogical His- tory of the Hoyt, Haight, and Hight Families," 686-|-xii pages, published in 1871. They will, for the present, be sent to any address on receipt of ¥ $6.25 per copy by mail, or $6.00 by express. When these are disposed of, no more can be obtained.

INTRODUCTION.
IN gathering material for his "Genealogical History of the Hoyt, Haight, and Hight Families," and in tracing his own ances- try in other lines, the compiler of these records collected a mass of materials which it seemed desirable to preserve in some form more durable than manuscript notes. In order to give some degree of completeness to the work, he has attempted to include all Salis- bury and Amesbury names that could be obtained from any acces- sible source, down to about the year 1700,-the first three or four generations of the early settlers.
It would be a comparatively easy task to copy and print the early town records of births, marriages, and deaths, down to 1700; but, while all these have been included, much more has been attempted, as will be seen in the records printed in this volume. After the town records, probate records and deeds are the main reliance, though other court records, church records, old journals and letters, are often of great importance in completing the account of some family.
The early families of Salisbury and Amesbury were so related to those of surrounding towns that it was found impossible to give anything like a full and connected outline of the former without including many early families of Newbury, Haverhill, Ipswich, and Hampton. The latter will therefore appear with the former, in alphabetic order.
One who has never attempted. the task of preparing a genealogy has no idea of the amount of time and labor often required to prove the truth of a statement that may occupy but a single line. The genealogist must often ponder a problem for months, and even years, before the true solution is found ; sometimes the miss-

ing fact turns up in the most unexpected way ; sometimes it is never found, as the required records are wanting. It was at first intended to call attention to all errors found in printed genealogies of the families here given ; but that plan was soon abandoned as impracticable in the space available. Only the most important have been noted. One source of errors in dates is the fact that persons unused to such researches often call the " 1st month " of the old records January, instead of March, as it should be given. The fact that the year usually began March 25 instead of Jan- uary 1, is another source of confusion. In every case of doubt, it has been the endeavor to consult and follow the original record, if possible. When, therefore, the records here given do not agree with those heretofore published, they should not be considered incorrect without consulting the originals. In many cases, errors have been found in official copies, some of them quite ancient. No one who has had experience in such matters would venture to say that there are no errors in this volume; but it is hoped that. they will not be found numerous.
This work is not intended to be a complete history, even of the early generations of the families included. It proposes to give only the bare outline of essential facts. Other persons can build upon this foundation, and fill in the details of each family history, · in separate volumes, where it has not already been done. One is strongly tempted to dwell upon the life of a first settler like Bailey ; the forests ; the first paths and roads ; the fish weirs; the ship-building ; the early churches and their pastors; the Indian conflicts and those persons who figured therein ; the early mills of Osgood, Morrill, Currier, and others, prophetic of the later develop- ment along the Powow river; the witchcraft delusion with which the Martins, Bradburys, Morses, and Pike were concerned; the persecutions of Quakers, Baptists, and others that did not con- form to the strict rules of the standing order, like Macy, Peasley, Goodale, and Pike; the places and persons immortalized by Whit-

tier's pen ; - but both space and plan forbid. We can only remark that there lived in this region men of strong character and liberal sentiments, in advance of their time, as the records prove.
One who would write a correct and complete genealogy of the early Puritan families must endeavor to live among them, to learn their mode of thinking and acting, what removals they would be likely to make, or alliances by marriage, often so closely related to removals. The same impulse which caused them to leave their homes in Old England seems to have led many of them to change their residence in New England, and share in the founding of dif- ferent settlements, like their descendants of this century in the West. This is illustrated in the history of William Sargent, and. many others. The movement of the first generations was along the sea coast and up the Merrimac valley. Some of the next gen- erations moved further along these lines into New Hampshire and Maine, There was, however, some movement towards the south and west. Salisbury was evidently the headquarters for the set- tlement of Nantucket ; and some families from this region removed to Block Island, Hartford and other Connecticut towns, western Massachusetts, and New Jersey.
Often the introduction of a new surname into Amesbury or Salisbury was caused by the marriage of a young man from some other town to the daughter or granddaughter of one of the orig- inal settlers.
One is often surprised to find how constant and frequent was the intercourse between different towns of New England in those early days ; and visits to Old England were not infrequent with the first generation, as in the case of John Wheelwright, William Hooke, Robert Pike, John Eaton, Robert Ring, and others. It is also a matter of surprise that so many of the first settlers, - Francis Dow, Thomas Dummer, Samuel Groom, John Hall, Samuel Hall, John Hodges, John Sanders, and others, - returned to England and spent the remainder of their days there.

OLD FAMILIES OF SALISBURY AND AMESBURY.
The desire of different towns to secure the services of skilled artizans often led to removals. Towns sometimes made offers of grants of land and other privileges which were not accepted by the grantees, and therefore do not prove a residence in those towns. Thus John Hoyt, brickmaker, received conditional offers of clay pits, etc., from Haverhill and Ipswich; but we have no proof that John Hoyt of Salisbury and Amesbury ever lived in those towns. Job Clement, tanner, of Haverhill, was offered a freehold in Newbury, but did not comply with the conditions, and soon afterwards removed to Dover. William Osgood, millwright, after working in other towns, received special privileges in both Salisbury and Amesbury, because his services were so much in demand.
Records of births, marriages and deaths are often wanting; the registry of deeds and the probate records do not contain the names of all residents ; here it is important to supplement these with information from other sources. Before commencing the geneal- ogy proper, we shall therefore print all the important early lists of names and other original documents that we have been able to obtain, and upon which the subsequent work will, to some extent, be based.
PROVIDENCE, R. I., August, 1807.
SETTLEMENT OF SALISBURY.
From the "Records of Massachusetts," we find that, on petition of " Mr. Bradstreete, Mr. Dudley Jr., Capt. Dennison, Mr. Clarke of Newbury, Mr. Woodbridge, Mr. Battye [Batt], Mr. Batter, Mr. Winsley, Hen : Bilye, Giles Firman, Richard Kent, and John Sanders,"* permission "to begin a plantation at Merrimack" was granted them, Sept. 6, 1638, with power to add to their number. The plantation was named "Colechester," Sept. 4, 1639; name changed to "Salsbury," Oct. 7, 1640.
On the Salisbury records is found the following entry :
" 1639, the third month.
" At a meeting at merrimack of Mr Simone Bradstreet, Mr Samuell Dudly, Mr Danniell Dennisonn, Cristopher Batt, Samuell Winsley, John Sanders:
"It was ordered that there shall be 2 divisions of Meadow, the one nerrer, the other farther, the nerrest shall haue fower Acres to Each 100h[ $], the other left to farther Consideration.
"It was further ordered that vpland for planting lotts shall be divided so as he that hath vnder 50li shall haue 4 Acres, and he that hath abone 50li to 150li shall haue 6 Acres, and all aboue shall haue 4 Acres to Euerie 100li. "Allso, it was ordered that all lotts granted to singlemen are on Condition that they shall inhabit here before the 6 of may next, and such as haue families that they shall inhabitt here before the last of october next."
The last clause strictly means October, 1639, though October of the next year may have been intended. The date of the " first division " of land is not given; but there are grants to four per- sons dated 1639, and many are dated 1640. The " first division "
* It will be seen that, of the twelve original petitioners and grantees, only five (Dudley, Batt, Winsley, Biley, and Sanders) received land and settled in Salisbury. Four of the twelve, Simon Bradstreet, Rev. Samuel Dudley, Daniel Denison, and Rev. John Woodbridge, belonged to the family of Gov. Thomas Dudley. Three of the others, Christopher Batt, Edmund Batter, and Henry Biley, were closely related, and all three came from Salisbury, Eng. Batter lived in Salem, Mass. Rev. Samuel Dudley afterwards married a sister of Henry Biley. Dr. John Clark, Rev. John Woodbridge, and Richard Kent, lived in Newbury, at that time. Giles Firman was of Bostou, Ipswich, and Haverhill, returned to England about 1044, a physician and clergyman. Five or more of the twelve were from Wiltshire, Eng .- [N. E. Hist. Gen. Reg., 1866 and 1871.]

was, therefore, in 1639, though some subsequent ones may have been recorded among the "first." The time of recording the grants, in their present form, is indicated by the vote, April 14, 1643, that all grants of land given by the "Towne of Salsbery " shall be recorded in the new book by the last of June next, allow- ing the clerk a penny for every grant so recorded, and 6d for the copy of every man's particular grants, together.
The following is a copy of a paper found in the Massachusetts archives, Boston, without date, but indexed under 1639. The use of the name "Colchester" places the date of the original record between September, 1639, and October, 1640, unless the new settlement used the name before it was authorized by the General Court. The Salisbury records have the name " Merri- mack " in May, 1089. The Boston copy must have been mado after October, 1640, as it uses the name "Salisbury " :

records, Carr, Morrill, Macy, Fitts, wid. Christian Brown, and per- haps Rowell, are not mentioned as participating in the " first divi- sion,"* though they all received land in 1640, and Macy in 1639. On the other hand, Allen, John Bayly, Jr., Barnard, Barnes, Bus- well, Carter, Clough, Dickison, French, Goodale, Greenleaf, S. Hall, Hoyt, Ilsley, Ladd, Moyce, North, Parker, Partridge, and Wells are all given on the Salisbury records as receiving land in the "first division." John Clifford appears on the earlier list of thirty-seven, but not on the later list of sixty-nine. Lewis Hulett does not appear on either list, though Merrill assigns him a house lot in 1639, and his name appears later.
There is, perhaps, a geographical significance in the Boston list of thirty-seven. By referring to Merrill's map, History of Amesbury, it will be seen that all these lots were located on the " circular road," except those of Fuller, Macy, Rowell, and Brown. The list looks as if Fitts, Rowell, and Brown were added later, and wid. Brown may have first had the lot of her son Henry Brown on the "circular road." Macy's lot is given on the "road to the neck." This leaves only Fuller's lot on the straight piece of "beach road," and that lot is represented as lying some distance to the north of the road. It seems probable that the first lots laid out were all on the "circular road," except, perhaps, those of Fuller and Macy, and they either located away from others, or afterwards exchanged lots for those represented on the map. Later, in the same year, perhaps, the straight "beach road" con- necting the two branches of the " circular road" was laid out, and most of the new comers were located on that road. The exceptions were John Bayly, Jr., who located next to his father, I. Buswell (probably not W. Buswell, as Merrill gives it, ), and Ladd on the "circular road; " French, Partridge and Wells on the "road to the neck," with Macy. All the above, over fifty per- sons, who probably received lots within a few weeks or months of each other, were placed on the new Salisbury book in 1643 as hav- ing part in the " first division."
" They all, doubtless, received land in the " first division," but may have failed to pay for recording their grants in the " new book."
