Thomas Boylston came to this country from England and settled in Watertown in 1635. His son Thomas, born in that town in 1644, became a surgeon. He took an active part in the Narragansett war. He married Mary Gardner of Muddy River in 1665, and settled there. From that time forward the Boylstons were identified with Brookline. There were twelve children of this marriage. His son Peter inherited the homestead. Dr. Zabdiel Boylston was the second child, b. in 1680. The daughter, Susanna, married John Adams, and was the mother of the second President of the United States. H. F. W., p. 297.

Dr. Zabdiel Boylston, F. R. S., son of Dr. Thomas Boylston, first physician of this town. Brother of Peter and Dudley. He was famous in his day, not only for eminence in his profession in general, but especially for the practice of inoculation for the smallpox, which, though so strenuously resisted by many of his cotemporaries, proved of such essential benefit to society.
A memoir of this distinguished man, (who was born in this town, in 1679, bapt. in the First Church, Roxbury, March 1, 1679, under the min- istry of the so-called Apostle Eliot) was written by Dr. Peter Thacher, min- ister of the Brattle Street Church, Boston, and published in the Massa- chusetts Magasine for December, 1789. In consequence of high attain- ments in his profession, Dr. Boylston was elected Fellow of the Royal Society in London, a distinction very rarely conferred on natives of this country.
A plain monument to his memory may still be seen in our Cemetery.

Between these dates he was never known to wear it." H. F. W., p. 376.

"Captain Timothy Corey was in active service in the Revolutionary war, and was one of three who were all that were left of an entire company who died of wounds, sickness, and imprisonment. He and his comrades returned footsore, ragged, and forlorn, from their terrible exposure and hardships. At the time of the battle of Lexington, his young wife with her two little children left the house, as did many other women of Brook- line, and carrying some blankets and provisions with them, sought shelter in the woods, till the fright and danger from the enemy passing through the town were over.
"Captain Corey is remembered as an old gentleman who dressed in the costume of the last century, as long as he lived, wearing a 'three-cornered cocked hat.' An anecdote is told of his wife, which indicates her opinion of her husband's appearance. Some one, a stranger, called at his house one day when he was away from home, desiring to see him. Mrs. Corey told him to go down the road and if he met 'a fine-looking, portly man on horse- back, he might know it was her husband.'
"Captain Corey died in 1811, aged 69 years. He was buried from the First Church, with Masonic honors.
"The two sons of Capt. Corey, afterwards known as 'Deacon Elijah' and 'Deacon Timothy,' joined the Baptists."
H. F. W., p. 181 and 182.
All the Coreys of three generations have been farmers and have been considered shrewd, practical men. The two brothers, Elijah and Timothy, were among the first projectors of the Baptist Church enterprise in this town, and to that purpose devoted time, labor, and money.
