my sonne dye before then, my will is that my sonne JJoseph his sonne Joseph shall have ten pounds, and my daughter Fuller her four sonnes twenty pounds, and my son Nathaniel ten pounds."


To Nathaniel, "my house wherein I now dwell, with all my upland and meadow, and the marsh yt bought of my sonne Joseph wh was sometime Mr. Woodmansys." To his daughter, Elisabeth Fuller, "the best feather bed and boulstar, with a pair of blanketts and the best coverlet and the bedstead, to enjoy for her use until her daughter Susana atayhe the age of twenty years or the day of her marriage, if should happen sooner, then she to enjoy them also." He gives her also, "the great carved chest and the carved box with a little trunck with all is in it, and a small carved chest with what is in it."


In a codicil dated Jan. 4, 1660, he mentions having given unto his son John, "his portion full in ye consideration of yt agreement between us about my farm," &c. He bequeathes legacies to his daughter Fuller's two daughters, Susanna and Elisabeth, to be paid to them at "ve age of twenty years or at ye day of marriage." [See Fuller, John.]


He appoints his "loving wife, Elisabeth Emerson, sole exeentrix, and doe desire my much honored and faithful friends, Mr. Samuel Symonds and Major Gen'l Daniel Denison, to be overseers to see yt this my will be fulfilled. The will was proved May, 1666.


John 2, son of Thomas, was graduated at Harvard College in 1656, at which time he must have been not less than forty years old. [John Emerson, aged 20. passenger in the ship Elisabeth Ann. for New England, 1635.] He was a subscriber to Major Denison's compensa- tion in 1618 ; and received a deed for a farm of his father. the same year. Ile married in 1662. Roth, daughter of Hon. Samuel Symonds, and settled as minister at Gloucester, October 6, 1663, where he con- tinned until his decease. Dec. 2, 1700. He left his property which was large to the sole disposal of his wife ; with nominal legacies to his son John and his daughters Ruth Newman, Martha Cogswell, (wife of William Cogswell. married October 9. 1685, ) Mary Phillips, Dorothy Emerson. To his son he gave 40; in money. and to his daughters 20s, and adds, "which I do give them besides what I have given them already." His will is dated Feb. 3, 1697-8, and was proved Dec. 23, 1700. Besides large possessions in Gloucester. he had in Ipswich a farm "lying by the farm of Mr. Denison on the south east. having Mr Emerson, tenant." Another farm "having the Town river Lying up- on the north west of the farm, having 20 acres of meadow land lying by the erick called the Labour-in-vain crick. having Capt. Ringe and Mr. Howard tenouts." And another farm "in Argilla in Ipswich, John Ro-s and James Burly being tenants." The last mentioned

farm he inherited from his father-in-law, Symonds.


John 3, son of John 2, according to Farmer, graduated at Harvard College 1689, was probably the preacher at Manchester, named in the Magnalia, and was afterwards ordained at New Castle and installed the first minister of the 2d church in Portsmouth, 28 March, 1715. died 21 June, 1732 aged 62. He was sworn a freeman, March, 16st. He appears from the following extract from the town records to have possessed the farm which had been his father's at Labor-in-vain, in 1703. " May 6, 1703. Voted to allow Mr. John Emerson three pounds toward a highway to his farm," And "Thomas Emerson de. clared in town meeting yt he would freely lay down an high way thro his land trom Nathaniel and Thomas Wells land to Mr. John Emer. son's land." He was a resident of Ipswich in 1713, when with his wife Mary, he lost an infant son, named John. " Here Lyes interred ye Body of John, son to John & Mary Emerson, a minister of ye Gospel at Portsmouth, aged about 2 months, who expired June ye 7th, 1714." The anachronismn in the epitaph may be explained by supposing the grave stone to have been erected some years after the decease of the child, when the father had become the minister of Portsmouth The wife of John 3, was Mary Batters of Salem : they had six daughters.


Joseph 2, son of Thomas 1, and probably the eldest, was a sub. scriber to Major Denison's compensation in 1648. October 6. 1652. he with Elisabeth his wife sells to his father. meadow and upland at Labour-in-vain ; the farm probably afterward possessed by Jolm 2.


He married (1) Elisabeth Woodmansy, daughter of Robert Wood- mansy, and had : Joseph. (who probably died in Boston leaving one daughter, Mary :) and James.


Ile married (2) Elisabeth Bulkley, and had : Peter. Ebenezer. Jane, Edward, (ancestor of Ralph Waldo Emerson. ) Daniel.


Nathaniel 2, son of Thomas 1. died Dec. 29, 1712. aged 83. [See page 85. inscription and Arms. ]


Sarah, wife of Nathaniel, died August 3, 1670.

By the following extract from the Court Records of Essex County, it may be feared he was not so strict in his early deportment as the manners of the age required : " March, 1673. Nathaniel Emerson for being in company with Peter Cross and others at Jonas Gregory's and drinking thyr of stolen wine, was admonished and to pay costs and fees." At this time he was not more than 16 years old, and it may be hoped that he benefitted by the legal admonition, and afterward kept better company than Peter Cross and Jonas Gregory, who do not ap- pear ever to have been citizens of Ipswich .*


Thomas 8, son of Nathaniel 2, possessed a farm near Labour-in-vain adjoining his cousin John Emerson's. He married Nov 20, 1685, Phillipa Perkins. She died April 26, 1738, aged 67 yrs 5 months. - They had :

EASTON, Mr. Nicholas, took the freeman's oath at the same time with Mr. John Spencer at Boston, September 3, 1634. The same year they entered into a stipulation with the freemen of Ipswich to erect a mill at the place where the cotton factory now stands. In addition to the mill site there was granted to each of them "20 acres of land lying near the river on the south side thereof." They soon gave up the contract respecting the mill and probably also the grants of land, and removed to Newbury. Easton was representative to the General Court from Ipswich in 1635. He became involved in the Hutchinson controversy about "covenant of works," and "covenant of grace," and having signed a petition to the Court, or remonstrance against their proceedings in the case of Mr. Wheelwright which was adjudged to be "scandalous and seditious." he with the other peti- tioners or remonstrants was ordered to be disarmed. The following extract from the order of Court is from Savage's Winthrop, Vol. 1, p. 247 : " Whereas the opinions and revelations of Mr. Wheelwright and Mrs. Hutebinson have seduced and led into dangerous errours many of the people heare in Newe England insomuch as there is just cause of suspition that they a> others in Germany in former times, may upon some revelation make some suddain irruption upon those that differ from them in judgment : for prevention whereof, it is or- dered that all those whose names are under written, shall (upon warn- ing given or left at their dwelling houses. ) before the 30th day 'of November, deliver in at Mr. Cane's house at Boston. all such guns, pistols, swords, powder, shot and match. as they shall bee owners of, or have in their custody. upon paine of tenn pound for every default to bee made thereof, which arin- are to be kept by Mr. Cane till this Court shall take further order thereon. Also it is ordered upon the penalty of Xf that no man who is to render his arms by this order, shall buy or borrow any gans, swords, pistols, powder, shot or match, until this Court shall take further order therein."


To the foregoing order is attached the names of fifty-eight of the inhabitants of Boston, five of Salem, Mr. Dummer, Mr. Easton and Mr. Spencer of Newbury. Mr. Foster and Samuel Sherman of. Ips- wich, "which are to deliver their arms to Mr. Bartholomew ;" five of Roxbury. and two of Charlestown.

. Gov. Winthrop in speaking of Mr. Easton calls him "one Nicholas Easton, a tanner, a man very bold, though ignorant ; that gifts and graces were that anti-Christ mentioned in Thessalonians. and that every one of the elect had the Holy Ghost and also the Devil in- dwelling."


Nicholas Easton is distinguished with only four others. out of a list of 51 freemen admitted at a General Court, 3 September. 1691, by the title of respect. The Rev. Messrs Parker and Noyes were ad- mitted at the same time, and I conclude that he accompanied them.


In March after, Easton was deputy from Hiswich. and he probably followed his spiritual guide- to Newbury.


He was Governor at Rhode Island four years, and the station was filled five years by one whom I presume to be his son,-John Easton. He died in 1675, aged 83 .- Furmer.

He was a subscriber to Major Denison's allowance in 1648. He married Elisabeth, daughter of the Hon. Samuel Symonds, May 20, 1644, and had, according to 'Farmer, eleven children, whose names and dates of birth are given from 1647 to 1659. This list does not contain the name of his son Symonds, who was born about 1662, and survived him. One other of his chil- dren, Daniel, born March 24, 1649, only survived him.

Symonds 2, son of Daniel 1, was born about 1662, and died Aug. 30, 1741, aged 79. He married Mary Whipple, March 26, 1715, who was probably his second wife.
