John Allin, July 19, 1639; married ( ), children, Experience, May 8, 1641, Caleb, Jan. 22, 1644; Deacon, and died Sept., 1672; removed to Weymouth perhaps late in life.
JOHN ROGERS
There were two Johns in Watertown when the Dedham Society was preparing for settlement in our region; one was made Freeman Mar. 13, 1639, who married Priscilla Dawes, of Boston, and the other probably older Savage thinks may be of Dedham, who married perhaps a second wife in Nov., 1653; one of them was present at the first recorded meeting in Watertown, Aug. 18, 1636, and three more meetings there; had a lot in Purchased Meadows; and must have been a proprietor in good stand- ing; lot next north of Jonathan Fairbanks, sold to George Bearstowe, 1640; in 1651 conveyed by John Thurston to John Fairbanks, and became a part of the Fairbanks property just north of the house; while owned by George Bearstowe, clay pit owned by the Town at the southerly corner of the lot, with a way out to East Street. Who can say that bricks from the clay here may not have been used in the Fairbanks House?
ABRAHAM SHAWE
Present at the first recorded meeting in Watertown, Aug. 18, 1636; his house there burned in 1636; Freeman, Mar. 13, 1636-7; at the last meeting there, Feb. 21, 1636-7, makes a proposition to build "a cornemill in our towne of Dedham," and he was granted free liberty to do so, also sixty acres to belong to the mill; his lot lay on the south side of Charles River, both sides of the Ames Street Bridge and extending to the Little Brook; died between Nov. 23, 1638 and Mar. 25, 1639; children, Joseph, John, Mary, Martha.
JOSEPH SHAW
Son of Abraham; present at the second recorded meeting, Aug. 29, 1636; lot lay next south of his father's, from Court Street across High Street with Maple Place and River Place running through it; sold to Henry Brock on Nov. 23, 1638, and soon be- came the site of the Fisher Tavern; on Nov. 29, 1639, Robert Mason was given liberty by the Town to purchase his father's lot, including his brother John's interest, which was left to them under his will; Freeman, May 22, 1639; removed to Weymouth; died 1653.
RALPH SHEPHEARD
Born about 1606; came from London in the ship "Abigail," in 1635; present at the first recorded meeting, Aug. 18, 1636; lot across High Street nearly following the present bounds of the Dowse-Quincy homestead; married Thanks ( ), born about 1612; removed to Weymouth where he died; child, Sarah, 1633.
The twenty-five persons given above were the original proprietors of the en- larged grant of September 10, 1636, and the incorporators of our Town whose Ter- centenary was celebrated on last September 20. Their first grant of September 3, 1635, apparently did not satisfy them, and they waited a whole year to obtain the lands shown in the frontispiece cut which follows a drawing, including a few changes, made by Earl W. Pilling, issued in the 1936 calendar of the Fisher-Churchill Company of Dedham.
The petitioners of 1636 evidently wanted the two plains, the Middle Plain and the East Street Plain. As soon as the grant was obtained, High Street, and East Street, the way from the
“Keye," or first landing place, to the Pond, and the other old roads were promptly laid out. These, with the several

allotments, are shown on the accompanying plan of Dedham Village, made by Mr. Earl W. Pilling, which was preceded in 1883 by a plan made by the late Henry Syl- vester Talbot, for the Dedham Historical Society. This early plan was made under the committee of the Society, Henry O. Hildreth, Henry W. Richards, and Don Gleason Hill, ably assisted by Mr. Hill and the late Waldo Colburn, with whom he was associated in law practice.
These plains, now in the new Town's possession, and the large extent of the Plan- tation, lead us to wonder at the ease with which her now far-reaching wilderness was placed in the possession of its new proprietors. It is noted that Robert Feake was held in high esteem by the little Dedham Society in Watertown, for when he was present at two of their meetings, his name was entered first in the list of those attending. He was granted the usual twelve acre lot, but in addition, within two miles back of this he was granted a farm of one hundred and fifty acres. Also in 1636 he was a Deputy to the Great and General Court from Watertown. Even in the preparation and urgency of the Petition and its much desired success, Mr. Feake's advice is likely to have been followed. There were also close family ties between his family and that of Gov. John Winthrop. When the Winthrop fleet reached Salem in 1630, the Governor's son Henry was drowned in Salem Harbor. His widow was later married to Mr. Feake. During the year 1636, also, Winthrop was Deputy Governor. Another incident may have some bearing on this large grant, that of Roger Williams' banishment on September 3, 1635, the very day when the first grant was made. While efforts were being made to send him out of the Bay Colony to England, it is said that through Winthrop's advice he travelled south to Mount Hope. And there seemed, too, to be no lack of trouble and danger from the Indians there. And then about the time of the Thanksgiving over the success of the Society's efforts, September 14, 1636, it said in the record of this meeting that a note had been received from the "Worpll John Winthrop deputy Go ) in Recommendation of his servant Henry Kingsbury . . . to sit with us," (
and they readily "condescended," only respited until the end of his time. All things considered it is not beyond a probability that the grant of our large plantation was to make it serve as a buffer between the Bay Colony and both Williams and the Indians.
This beautiful region first selected by our early explorers as the center and begin- ning of their new plantation included both the Middle and East Street Plains. These plains were probably sparsely wooded, and it is altogether likely that they had been tilled formerly by the Indians, who at the period of our settlement were rarely seen, as a plague many years before had decimated the Massachusetts and Eastern tribes. Two Indian trails, also, most likely crossed near the joining of these plains at the junction of High and East Streets, the one from the Natick Indians to those at Ponkapoag and the other from the Boston region to the fishing grounds at the Neponset River and on to Narraganset Bay. Common and High Streets followed probably one of these trails, and Centre and East Streets the other. Writers of this early period speak of places cultivated here and there by the Indians, before the severe plague had done its work in New England.
One can readily imagine the joyful interest of the first canoeist explorers from Watertown in their proposed new home as they came to the "Keye" or landing place and wended their way up to the Middle Plain. This Landing Place is now marked by an ex-hedra Monument designed by Mr. Charles E. Mills, and erected under his super- vision for the Dedham Community Association and the Dedham Historical Society, and both joined in its completion, and fitting dedication. It is one of the outstanding features of the Frances M. Baker Park in the Community grounds. The road from the "Keye" to Wigwam Pond and the swamp of heavy timber nearby which was the proprietor's first objective in preparing to build their houses, was at its beginning a winding road. Ezechiell Holliman's lot of twelve acres butts upon the "way wynding" towards the north. Abraham Shaw's lot, on the northerly side of this road, abutted upon this way toward the west, and upon its northerly side on Charles River. The contention that this road began at the present so-called Landing Place seems hardly

to fit the course of the road as given in the two grants just mentioned. The road evi- dently began at the present Ames Street Bridge and ran around the hill in Frances M. Baker Park and across to the present Ames Street in a winding way.
Established on Dedham soil, the proprietors held their first meeting here on March 23, 1636-7, fifteen of the number being recorded as present. John Dwight, though not recorded among them, presented Jonathan Fearebanke, and he was "accepted & subscribed" to the Covenant. Down to this point we have reached the number of twenty-five who have signed the Covenant and the Petition to the General Court on September 5, 1636. Here a new condition appears, as recorded in the meeting held in Watertown on the previous January 28, 1636-7, when the question of Purchased Meadows was considered. Four of the proprietors, Samuel Morse, Philemon Dalton, John Dwight, and Lambert Genere, are reported as having purchased the grant of three hundred acres which the General Court in 1634 had made to Samuel Dudley lying along Charles River from our Little River down, for the benefit of the Town, and now known as Purchased Meadows. The point in the record of special interest is the order by the general consent of the meeting that the "first 30. Lotts allredy graunted out shall paye Thirteene shillings & foure pence" per lot to make up the twenty pounds appropriated. This was a bit over four months from the date of the grant of September 10, 1636. This must indicate that thirty prorietors had been given rights for pasturing cattle in this new purchase. This must mean also that there were possibly five more signers to the Petition, whose names are, from lack of reference to them definitely in our existing records, only, to be surmised. There is no record of admissions beyond the twenty-five known names to the admission of Jonathan Fearebanke, March 23, 1636-7.
Let us consider the condition of the early records, which were supposed to contain the original list of signers to the Covenant. The Town voted on February 6, 1642-3 to purchase books for Mr. Edward Alleyn to keep the records in. Before this date the records were on independent papers. There are occasional references in the printed records to the loss of papers. In volume 3, page 88, a note shows that a leaf, there printed, relating to the Selectmen, was fastened at the beginning of Vol. I. of the original records. On the back of this leaf is written by the faithful and painstaking Jonathan Holmes Cobb, on September 5, 1850, "This leaf was found in John Bullard, Esq.'s garret" on that date. The list of signers to the Covenant as printed in Vol. 3, page 3, follows an old copy of the original list then presumably in a worn and brittle condition, and perhaps inperfect, and now lost. There are a number of persons re- corded as having been admitted as Townsmen, and also of owners of lots, who are not on the list of signers. Daniel Fisher was recorded as present at a meeting, May 17, 1639, and there is no record of a lot assigned him or of his signing the Covenant. There are other instances to show omissions in recording, and of many imperfections in the records. The five missing names to make up the thirty are given below as pos- sibilities: Rev. John Allin in his first book of records of the First Church begins in the summer of 1637 by saying there were then residing here about thirty families.
Five Possible Additional Incorporators JOHN BALDEN (or Balducke, or Baldwicke or Baldwin)
Son John's birth was first recorded in the Town Records, as of June 24, 1635; his widow, Joanna, married John Gay. No further record of Balden is found; signa- ture to Covenant lost.
JOHN FRARY
On Nov. 28, 1637, propounded with Robert Williams for John Dwight's grati- fication lot, but they were not present; signed the Covenant; on Feb. 20, 1637-8, they

were assigned the lot, and both were present at the meeting, but no record then as to their signing; Frary's lot was on East Street just south of Walnut Street.
THOMAS MORSE
Tenth of the ten men from whom were chosen the eight founders of the Church, Nov. 8, 1638; signature in Covenant lost; joined the Church June 28, 1640; no further record of him.
ROBERT WHITMORE
On Jan. 28, 1636-7, recorded as having one of the thirty lots in the Purchased Meadows, "allredy granted out," therefore at that time one of Dedham's proprietors; although absent at this meeting.
ROBERT WILLIAMS
Propounded for John Dwight's gratification lot, with John Frary, Nov. 28, 1637; present at a meeting Feb. 20, 1637-8 when they were granted John Dwight's gratifica- tion lot; signature to Covenant lost; Freeman, May 2, 1638; lot on East Street just south of Walnut Street became John Frary's.
Admissions of Townsmen to become proprietors by the Incorporators began at the first meeting in Dedham, March 23, 1636-7, with the admission of Jonathan Fearebanke. The following list includes new members from the Incorporation to the Founding of the Church of Christ at its gathering on November 8, 1638.

18, 1637; describes the interesting efforts among the group of settlers, comprising about thirty families when he came, from different parts of England and little known to each other; met every fifth day in the week to consider the establishing of a peace- able and comfortable civil society and a spiritual communion in a church society, a rare effort in those early days as such purposes were usually well prepared beforehand; ten persons were selected in the company, out of whom eight were chosen to become the founders of the Church, Mr. Allin himself, Ralph Wheelock, Edward Alleyn, John Luson, John Hunting, John Frary, Eleazer Lusher and Robert Hinsdell; the Church of Christ was finally gathered on November 8, 1638, and on April 24, 1639, Mr. Allin was elected and ordained pastor, and John Hunting, ruling elder. Mr. Allin was born about 1597 in Colby, Norfolk, England, and educated at Caius College, Cambridge, with degree of A.B., 1615, and of M.A., in 1619. His faithful and liberal service won for him a warm support both from his own townspeople and the people of the Bay Colony during his long pastorate 'till his death on August 26, 1671. His book of records through this period is still preserved, and in print. He was married to Mar- garet Morse, at Wrentham, Suffolk, on October 22, 1622. Their eldest son John was born there October 13, 1623. She died on May 1, 1653, and he married 2dly on Novem- ber 8, 1653, Katharine (Hackburne) Dudley, widow of Gov. Thomas Dudley. Joseph Dudley, her young son, who later became Governor, was brought up in the Dedham home, and fitted for College and civil life by Minister Allin. His house stood on the site of the Country and Day School, on the original lot assigned to Nicholas Phillips in 1636. The evidence of his high consideration by his town is shown by the large grants of land to him. Their other children were Benjamin, August 11, 1654, Daniel, July 31, 1656, Eliezar, May 26, 1658.
