CHAPTER XVII.
THE MITCHELL FAMILY.
There is a theory entertained by this family that its early history was located in Scotland, but Richard Mitchell, the first of the name of whom we have any record, lived at Brixton or Bricktown, Isle of Wight, and married Mary Wood.
The absence of records of this family on the beautiful island, which was the home of our ancestor, indicates that he immigrated there; his son Richard, born 1686, came to Rhode Island in 1708, and in the same year married Elizabeth Tripp; he died in 1722.
He was educated in the doctrines of the Church of England, and spent some time in the Royal Navy, but after coming to America became convinced of the prin- ciples of the Society of Friends.
One of his descendants says of him: " The firmness with which Richard Mitchell adhered to the religious faith he early adopted, the honesty and integrity that were maintained in all his transactions, the tender, thoughtful care for the welfare of his wife and young family, are striking traits which are inherited by many of his descendants.
" ... He was blessed with a good understanding and sound judgment, and was capable of assisting and advising in matters of difficulty."

She was the first president of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union of Ohio, and later, recording secre- tary of the National and World's Temperance Unions, and gave her time and life (dying while in the service of the Union) to the cause which she had espoused. While she was an enthusiast, she was in no sense a fanatic, being governed always by strong common sense, and a dignity which was nature's gift. She trav- eled extensively, and often addressed large audiences, in addition to her close and conscientious work with the pen in the discharge of her duties as secretary.
Professor Maria Mitchell (see chapter on Peter Folger) was another granddaughter of Peleg Mitchell, Sr., and Lydia (Cartwright) Mitchell.
From the " History of the Hazard Family " we learn that Thomas Hazard, progenitor of the Hazard family in America, was born in 1610, and died in 1680. He married first, Martha -, who died in 1669; second, Martha, widow of Thomas Sheriff. She died in 1691.
On March 25th, 1638, he was admitted freeman in Boston; two years later freeman in Portsmouth, Rhode Island.
In 1639, he with eight others, signed a compact for the settlement of Newport, Rhode Island. September 2d, 1639, he was admitted freeman of Newport. In 1640, March 12th, he was appointed a member of the General Court of Elections.
His will, proved 1680, leaves Martha, whom he calls " his beloved yoke-fellow," as his sole executor.
George Lawton, of Portsmouth, Rhode Island, was admitted inhabitant of Aquidneck in 1638; he married Elizabeth, daughter of Thomas Hazard.
In 1648 he was a member of the Court of Trials.

William Gayer, Esq., spelled also Geare, came from Devonshire, England, was a citizen of Nantucket, and died there on the 23d of September, 1710. He was Judge of Court of Common Pleas, appointed October 16th, 1696; September 7th, 1699; June 29th, 1702, and June 6th, 1706. Ile was also one of five Judges appointed by the Governor of Massachusetts, in 1704, in the trial of the Indian " Sabo " for the crime of mur- der. (Mass. Civil List, page 112; New England His. and Gen. Reg., Vol. XXXI., page 237.)
William Gayer, of the firm of Gayer & Bunker, was especially able as a surveyor and "laid out plots."
Edward Cartwright, the first of the Nantucket family of that name, came from the Isles of Shoals, near Ports- mouth, New Hampshire. He settled at Pocomo on Nantucket.
Ile had two wives. By his will, dated 1705, he gives Pocomo, then owned by him, to his sons Nicholas, Samp- son, Edward, and wife Elizabeth. Sampson sold out in 1712 all but the house.
Edward Cartwright, Sr., died September 2d, 1705. Elizabeth Cartwright, his widow, born Trott, sister of John Trott, died August 11th, 1729. (Town Records.)

Degory Priest was the 29th signer of the Mayflower compact.
Prince says: "The year begins with the death of Degory Priest." "Priest is set down in the Leyden records as from London, and had been many years a member of the Leyden Company." "It is on record that he married, November, 1611, Sarah (Allerton) Vincent, widow of John Vincent; November, 1615, he was admitted a citizen of Leyden, and in April, 1619, he deposes that he is forty years of age and knows one Nicholas Claverly." (Leyden MS. Records.) "His widow married Cuthbert Cuthbertson, a Dutchman, who also was one of the Leyden Company, and Winslow calls him Godbert Godbertson, probably the name he owned in early life, and it met with changes which seemed to come to the Pilgrims, and those in marriage connected with them." (Mayflower Signers, Mail and Express, Part II., page 24.)
