Franklin soon after removed to Newbury and thence to Boston and Roxbury. At Roxbury he was admitted to the church ; he was hanged in 1644 for the murder of an apprentice boy. Gov. Winthrop says :


.. The case was this : he had taken to apprentice one Nathaniel Sewell, one of those children sent over the last year for the country : the boy had the scurvy and was withal very noisome and otherwise ill-disposed. His master used him with continual rigor and unmerci- ful correction, and exposed him many times to much cold and wet in the winter season, and used divers aets of rigor to him : as harging him in the chimney, ce. ; and the boy being very poor and weak. ho tied him upon an horse and so brought him (sometimes sitting and sometimes hanging down,) to Boston, being five miles off. to the magistrates. and by the way the boy calling for water, would give him none, though he came close hy it. so as the boy was near dead when he came to Boston ; and he died within a few hours. This man had been admitted into the church of Roxbury about a month before, and upon this he was east out : but the church in compassion to his soul. after his condemnation. procured license for him to come to Roxbury. intending to receive him again before he died, if they might find him truly penitent. But though presently after his condemnation he judged himself and justified God and the Court, yet then he quarrelled with the witnesses and justified himself, and so continued even to his exe. cution, professing assurance of salvation, and that God would never lay the boy his death to his charge. but the guilt of his blood would le upon the country. Only a little before he was turned off the ladder. he seemed to apprehend some hardness of heart that he could not sve himself guilty of that which others did."

HUMPHREY GILBERT.


BY HENRY F. WATERS, ESQ., SALEM, MASS.


Humphrey Gilbert, born about 1616, according to his deposition on file in the office of the Clerk of the Courts of Middlesex Co., in East Cambridge, seems to have had two wives. By the first (whose name is not known. ) he had four daughters ; by the second, Elizabeth -, one son. He is said to have died 13 Feb. 1657. which may have been a mistake of one day ; for his will purports to be made the 14th of 12th mo ( Feb's. ) 1657. probably while he lay at the point of death. His widow. Elizabeth, was married 24 Sept. 1658, to William Reiner, who died 26 Oct 1672. She next became the wife of Henry Kimball. who died before the 16th 4th mo. 1676. which was the date of the tak-
