Robert Harding came with Winthrop. He was a captain and selectman, but joining Mrs. Hutchinson's party, was dis- armed in 1637; and yet of the Artillery Company in 1638, in which year he removed to Rhode Island, where he held im- portant offices. He returned to England, and was a merchant there.
May 11, 1639, Robert Harding sold half of his allotment, about fifty acres of upland and marsh, to Richard Tuttell for £33 6s. 8d., " bounded towards the North by a strait line parting betweene it and the other half of my pper Allotment, Towards the East by the Comon sewer [shore ?], Towards the South it Adioyneth to Certaine lands purchased by the said Richard Tuttell; towards the West by the Comon High Way." 102

January 16, 1654/5, the gift was confirmed and defined under the signatures of John Cogan and Henry Dunster. It provided that "if any of the children or grandchildren of the said John shall come to be students in the said colledge then they shall personally enjoy the yearly revenue of the said land during their con- tinuance in or relation to the said Colledge as students." This convey- ance was recorded June 27, 1770, with a plot of the land by Jno Gardner, showing 53 acres, 137 poles. (Suff. Deeds, L. 117, f. 102). February 7, 1832, when Harvard College sold the marsh to Edward H. Robbins (L. 357, f. 292), it was estimated to contain 60 acres. In 1693 it was let to " Richd Hood, Nath. Ingolls & Robt Potter " for eiglit pounds a year. Proc. Mass. Hist. Soc., vi. 349. It bordered on the Pines River; since 1803 the Salem Turnpike, later known as Broadway, has crossed its western end.]

Fishers Creeke, and the Common shore, and towards the West by the said highway." 108
Edward Gibbons, a Boston merchant, was one of the most interesting characters of his day in Massachusetts; though his early life was rather wild, and all of it full of romance, scarcely any one rendered more varied services. But at no time was [his chief residence at ] Pullen Point, and it is as an allottee of land there, that his career is followed here. When, whence, or to what part of New England, he came, is now unknown. Am- brose Gibbons, a man of note and possibly a relative, came to Portsmouth, New Hampshire, in 1630; but Edward Gibbons, Savage says, "of Charlestown 1630, had some years earlier lived among the church of misrule at Mount Wollaston, but was seriously impressed by the service, 1629, at the ordina- tion of Higginson and Skelton " at Salem, and was "early admitted into the Boston church, being No. 113." 109 Though living at Charlestown, he probably retained his Boston church membership, as his son Jotham was baptized there October 27, 1633. He was freeman May 18, 1631, and Savage says " re- moved soon to Boston; 110 was representative 1635; of the artillery company 1637; its captain 1639, 1641, 1646, and 1654; major-general in 1649; assistant in 1650; and died December 9, 1654."
Notwithstanding his serious impressions in 1629, he suf- fered a relapse, though perhaps venial, and in August, 1631, was fined (as has been said) twenty shillings, with others in a less sum, " for abuseing themselues disorderly with drinke- ing to much stronge drinke aboard the Frendshipp, & att Mr Matlacke his howse at Winettsemt." 111

110 I think that Savage is wrong. The earliest mention of Gibbons in the Boston Records is January 9, 1636/7, - the date of his allotment, which implies that he was then an inhabitant of that town; but he was of Charlestown, May 9, 1632 (Mass. Col. Rec., i. 95), and as late as January, 1636 (Frothingham, 80, 85). It is probable, therefore, that between January, 1636, and January, 1637, he removed from Charlestown to Boston.
111 Mass. Col. Rec., i. 90. Samuel Maverick's house in 1631 was at Winnisimmet, though Johnson ( Wonder-Working Providence, chap. xvii.) erroneously located it on Noddle's Island. But relying too implic- itly on Frothingham (Hist. of Charlestown, 59, note 2), I assigned Gibbons' house " in the maine," in 1630, to Malden. (2 Proc. Mass. Hist.

Gibbons' allotment at Winthrop included Thornton's Sta- tion, near which is a great elm, under which once stood a farm house probably built by him, and torn down in 1860, having been previously occupied by Washington Tewksbury and Samuel Floyd. Gibbons' residence was in Boston after his removal from Charlestown; his farm house at Pullen Point may have been erected before 1641, for Winthrop 112 says that " Capt. Gibbons and his wife, with divers on foot by them, came riding from his farm at Pullen point, right over to Boston, the 17th of the 12th month [February 17, 1641/2], when it had thawed so much as the water was above the ice half a foot in some places."
This, also, is from Winthrop : 113 - June 12, 1643, " Mr. La Tour arrived here in a ship of 140 tons, and 140 per- sons -. . . came from Rochelle ... took a pilot out of one of our boats at sea, and left one of their men in his place. Capt. Gibbons' wife and children passed by the ship as they were going to their farm, but being discovered to La Tour by one of his gentlemen who knew her, La Tour manned out a shallop, which he towed after him, to go speak with her. She seeing such a company of strangers making towards her, hast- ened to get from the.n, and landed at the governour's garden. La Tour landed presently after her, and there found the gov- ernour and his wife, and two of his sons, and his son's wife, and after mutual salutations he told the governour the cause of his coming, viz. that this ship being sent him out of France, D'Aulnay, his old enemy, had so blocked up the river to his fort at St. John's, with two ships and a galliot, as his ship could not get in, whereupon he stole by in the night in his shallop, and was come to crave aid to convey him into his fort." The whole story is too long for this place. It may be said, however, that not only was Mrs. Gibbons alarmed, but
Soc., i. 368). This was a mistake, for before 1633, when a large territory north of the Mystic was assigned to Charlestown it had no allotable land there. In 1634, after its enlargement, each inhabitant, Frothingham says (Hist., 56), had an allotment of ten acres at "Mistick Side"; but the Town Records (p. 73 [82]) give " The first Division of Lands one Mistick syde," which the editor says "was made 6th, first month, 1637."

the governor himself, when he saw that he and his family, and all the ordnanee of the Castle-Island, which had been deserted by order of the Court, were in the power of a stranger, to whoin an unobstrueted way to Boston was open; but La Tour's purposes were not hostile. Serious consequences, however, ensued to Gibbons, for he loaned large sums to La Tour which were never repaid, and Gibbons died poor. Mueh of his history is in Winthrop and Frothingham, and his genealogy in Wyman ; but neither belongs to Chelsea.114
" These are of the great allottments at Rumley Marsh and Pullen Point.
" M". Richard Tuttell, a hundred threeseore and one aeres : bonnded on the North with , on the East with the Beach, on the South with Mr. Glover, and on the West with the highway." 115
Riehard Tuttle, from London in 1635, was a husbandman, and his family, unlike those of many of the Revere allottees, cultivated their aneestral aeres. He died May 8, 1640, aged forty-seven, leaving a widow Anne and minor children. Their only son John, then aged fifteen, finally took the Rumney Marsh farm, and the daughters the property in Boston.116
114 [This note has been placed as an appendix to this chapter, - No. 10.] 115 In the Book of Possessions, compiled about 1652 and printed with the Town Records of Boston, are given the possessions of Anne Tuttle, among which is "a Farme at Rumney Marsh, bounded with John Coggan on the north; Samuel Cole on the south; the sea on the east: and the high way on the west." The south boundary by Cole is noticeable. Between Tuttle's allotment on the north and Cole's on the south were those of Glover and Dyar, extending from the highway on the west to the beach on the east. As will appear, Glover's became part of the Newgate Farm. And as Mrs. Tuttle's south boundary was by Cole, it is probable that John Tuttle acquired that of Dyar. [The Dyar allotment became a part of the Cole Farm, and the Glover, of the Tuttle or the Cole Farm. Infra, note 119.] Tuttle also purchased, as has been seen, the allotments of Harding, Willys, and Odlin. His estate thus became very large, and with that of John Cogan (afterwards the Floyd estate) included the greater part of Revere easterly of the Turnpike.
116 [John Tuttle described himself as " Jno Tuttle Senr of Rumney Marsh and Boston in New Engd." He left a house and land in the pen- insula of Boston to his sons. During his lifetime, November 7, 1684, he gave part of that lot at the North End of Boston that appears in the Book of Possessions as the property of his mother, Anne Tuttle, to his two married daughters, Mary, wife of Caleb Carter, and Sarah, wife of Joseph Newell, both of Charlestown.

February 10, 1646/7, John married Mary, daughter of Ed- ward Holyoke of Lynn and had sons, John, Edward, Elisha, and Jonathan, and daughters, Mary, Sarah, and Rebecca. His will was probated March 31, 1687, and his farm then consisted of six hundred acres. It was divided between the sons, April 2, 1690.117 The bounds and division may be given as follows: Beginning at the northwest corner of the estate of the late B. H. Dewing (Dr. Phillips Payson's parsonage), run thence southeasterly to the beach. Returning to said corner, run southwesterly by Dewing's westerly bound to and across Malden Street, over the hill into the valley; thence turn and cross Beach Street at the Church corner, and run southeasterly between the Hastings and Pinkham estates, and the north line of the town burial ground, on a straight line over the hill into the marsh between Beachmont and Crescent Beach. John's dwelling-house was on the hill lately levelled at that beach; Edward's, on the south side of Revere Street just east of Dewing's pasture fence; Elisha's on the west side of School Street, lately occupied by Ephraim Tewksbury; and Jonathan's on the north side of Beach Street, last occupied by Deacon Joseph Harris.118

117 Suff. Deeds, L. 29, f. 273. [The division was dated March 20, 1689; acknowledged April 2, 1690; recorded August 10, 1715. Reference is therein made to a plat of the land by William Johnson of Woburn.]
118 For some of the facts above I am indebted to an article by B. H. Dewing, in Revere Journal, April 23, 1887. The Harris estate was part of Cole's allotment. Cole sold it to William Halsey ( Hasey) March 24, 1653/4 (Suff. Deeds, L. 2, f. 4). This part at least came to be owned by the Tuttle family; for in 1730 and 1731 Josiah Tuttle, Jonathan Tuttle, and Samuel Paine and wife released their interest in it, as heirs of Jonathan Tuttle, to Jacob Chamberlain (ibid., L. 46, f. 131; L. 51, ff. 122, 123), whose widow sold it in part to Hon. Samuel Watts; and in 1782 his heirs sold the same to William Harris, in whose family it now remains. [A careful examination of the deeds recorded in the Suffolk Registry shows that the Harris estate never formed a part of the Cole allotment; it descended to Jonathan Tuttle from his father, John Tuttle. See Appendix 11.]

Henry Dunster, the first president of Harvard College. One of his daughters married Adam Winthrop; another, Deane Winthrop; another, John Appleton. The Glover allotment was sold for £24 10s., by Elizabeth Glover, widow, to John Newgate, September 23, 1639, by deed unrecorded; and the Newgate farm was thus extended to tide water, at or near what is now Slade's Mill.119 There was a " Newgate landing " on the Creek; and not far away, on Mill Street, still stands (1895) the old Newgate, Shrimpton, or Ycamans house, be- fore alluded to.
" M". William Dyar, twoe and fortic acrs: bounded on the North with Mr. Glover, on the East with the Beach, on the South with Mr. Cole, and on the West with the highway."
William Dyre, (as he wrote his name,) clerk of the [Com- missioners of the town ] for raising a new fortification on Fort Hill in 1636, was a milliner from London, and in 1637 was disarmed as a supporter of Wheelwright, disfranchised, and in 1638 driven to Rhode Island, where he became secretary of the colony. He was the husband of Mary Dyer, executed in 1660 as a Quaker.
" M". Samuell Cole, a hundred and five acrs: bounded on the North with Mr. Dyar, on the East with the Beach, on the South with Mr. William Brenton, and on the West with the highway."
Samuel Cole came with Winthrop, and was one of the founders of the Artillery Company in 1637. His third wife was the widow of Robert Keayne. In 1633 he opened the first house of entertainment in Boston, but in 1635 he fell under the displeasure of the Court, - " Sam" Cole hath for-
119 [The Glover allotment did not touch Mill River. To the South, between it and the river, lay the lands of Dyar, Cole, and Brenton. The Newgate landing and Slade's mill must have stood within the allot- ment to William Brenton. In September, 1639, when Elizabeth Glover sold the 49 acres mentioned in the text, they abutted " upon the sea towards the east upon the high way leading to the Lotts of Divers men towards the west, on the lands of Richard Tuthill towards the north and on the lands of Samuel Cole towards the south." (Chamberlain MSS., iii. 174.) Thus Cole must have acquired the Dyar allotment, which in 1637/8 was Glover's southern boundary. That of Glover became a part of the Cole or the Tuttle Farm, for in the Book of Possessions the latter had for its southern boundary the lands of Samuel Cole. See notes 52 and 115; also Appendix 1.]

fected xx$. for selling 2 quarts of beare at ijd a quart." Two months before this he and others had been " licensed to keepe seuall ordinaryes in the plantacons where they lyve dure- ing the pleasure of ye Court." But in 1637 he was again " fined 10 sh$. for selling a quart of beare at 2d., & was licensed to sell such claret & white wine as is sent for." The same year, " being convented for haveing had much disorder in his house, selling wine contrary to order, & beare above the price ordered, his dew for wine was judged 101, & hee was further fined 201, wch is together 301." This was a bad year for the publican. He was disarmed as a supporter of Wheelwright.
But the next year affairs took a more favorable turn, as his fine was " respited till the next Court," and he had "liberty to sell his house for an inne." In 1638, he again fell into disgrace for the old sin of selling beer at two pence a quart. But he soon found grace; for in September, having forfeited one pound, it was reduced to ten shillings, and being fined £30 (the old fine) and owing £10 more, it was remitted to £15; and in 1639 he was granted £10 to clear his account. We can- not pursue his history further. He owned one hundred five acres of real estate at Rumney Marsh, but his extortionate sales of beer were made in Boston, and there was his disorderly house.120
" M". William Brenton, a hundred sixtie and foure acrs: bounded on the North with Mr. Cole, on the East with the Beach, on the South with ME. William Aspinwall, and on the West with the high way."
William Brenton is said to have come to Boston with John Cotton in 1633. He was selectman and representative. For some time he was in Rhode Island, and governor there. He contributed to the erection of the town house, which stood on the site of the old State House in Boston. Sir Jahleel Bren- ton, Vice-Admiral of the Blue, was a descendant.
" M". William Aspinwall, a hundred sixtie and foure acrs : bounded on the North with Mr. Brenton, on the East with the Beach and Mr. Pierce, and on the South and on the West point with Crooked lane."
William Aspinwall probably came over with Winthrop in

1630. He was chosen representative in the place of Sir Henry Vane, who went home in 1637. As a follower of Mrs. Hutch- inson, he was fined eight shillings, disarmed and banished. He went to Rhode Island, but returned, and became recorder and a member of the Artillery Company.
Aspinwall had a "little house " at Pullen Point in 1637/8.121 By deed unrecorded he sold his allotment to James Penn, elder of the First Church of Christ in Boston, who owned it in 1643. By his will, dated September 29, 1671,122 le devised his " Farme at Pullin point," to his kinsman Penn Townsend, to be enjoyed after his wife's decease, " provided that hee pay tenn pounds ycerly out of the ffarme to my over- seers and after their death to the Elders and deacons of the first Church of Christ in Boston Successively forever by them to bee disposed of for the maintenance of Such poore Scollar or Scollars at the Colledge as they shall see good." This annuity continued until 1866, when the General Court author- ized the elders and deacons of the First Church to release the same on satisfactory terms.
Penn Townsend, by will August 10, 1721,123 devised tlie re- mainder of his estate, real and personal, to his two daughters Sarah Thayer and Ann Sale, and their then present husbands, for their natural lives, and then to his grandchildren. The property finally came into the Sale family, and in later years has been known as the Sale Farm, now owned by the Boston Land Company.124
