*[ 118 ]»
RICHARD MORE
Richard More came to Plymouth in the Mayflower as a boy in Elder William Brewster's family, and finally settled at Salem, where he died. He was the son of Samuel and Katherine Moore of Larden, and his baptism, with those of his brother and two sisters, is recorded in the parish register of Shipton, Shropshire, England, as follows: "Ellinora, 24 May, 1612; Jasper, 8 August, 1613 ; Richard, 13 November, 1614 ; Maria, 16 April, 1616." Bradford tells us that three of these children came on the Mayflower, Ellen with Edward Winslow, and Richard and Jasper with Elder Brewster, and that Ellen and Jasper died during the first winter. Richard remained with the Brewsters and was still in that family at the Division of Cattle in 1627. On 20 Oct. 1636, he married Christian Hunt and on 1 Nov. 1637, he sold his house and adjoining land at Duxbury to Abraham Blush. During the next twenty years there is no mention of him on the Plymouth Colony records.
A few years after this sale one Richard Man became an inhabitant of Scituate and early genealogists believed him to be the same person as Richard More. However, when Bradford's History was published that error was discov- ered and it is now known that Richard More had gone to. Salem in the Massachusetts Bay Colony.
In various depositions and deeds he referred to himself as "mariner" and "labourer" and his gravestone is marked "Captain." He is buried in the Charter Street Cemetery in Salem, Massachusetts, and his is the only known grave- stone of a Mayflower passenger erected at the time of his death. The inscription reads : "Here lyeth buried ye body of Capt Richard More aged 84 years." This stone is one of a remarkable group of six stones, as follows: Richard1 More; his first wife, Christian (Hunt) More; his second wife, Jane (Hollingsworth) More; a son, Calebª More . a daughter, Christian2 (More) Conant; and a double stone for two infant grandchildren, Samuel® More, son of Richard2 and Sarah (-) More, and Barbara® Dutch,

DEGORY PRIEST Twenty-ninth Signer of the Mayflower Compact

DEGORY PRIEST
Degory Priest married, 4 Nov. 1611, at Leyden, Sarah, widow of John Vincent and sister of Isaac Allerton. He came in the Mayflower and died soon after landing, 1 January, 1620, at Plymouth. His widow married Godbert Godbertson and came to America with her third husband and her children, Mary and Sarah, in the Ann, in 1623.
Savage says that Degory Priest "was formerly thought the first married of any of the Leyden exiles, but the record there shows that his intention was published 4 October, 1611, and the marriage with Sarah Vincent, widow of John of London, 4 November following; and we know that both Isaac Allerton and his sister had been married a few weeks earlier.
"He had been admitted a citizen of Leyden, 16 November 1615, then called a hatter, no other of his friends except Bradford and Allerton having enjoyed that distinction." (i. e., of citizenship at Leyden, Holland.)
Bradford listed the early deaths as follows: "Moyses Fletcher, Thomas Williams, Digerie Preist, John Good- man, Edmond Margeson, Richard Britterige, Richard Clarke. All these dyed sone after their arivall, in the generall sicknes that befell. But Digerie Priest had his wife and children sent hither afterwards, she being Mr. Allertons sister."

THOMAS ROGERS Eighteenth Signer of the Mayflower Compact *
ROGERS FAMILY SURNAMES THREE GENERATIONS
HIGGINS PHINNEY RICHMOND ROGERS TERRY TISDALE WILLIAMS
125 ]
THOMAS ROGERS
In a paper read before the Maine Historical Society, December 19, 1895, Josiah H. Drummond made the follow- ing report :
"There were so many by the name of John Rogers in Plymouth, Duxbury, Marshfield, Weymouth and Scituate in their early history, that it is not wonderful that they have been confounded with each other. Savage thinks that Deane in his history of Scituate has 'confused two, if not three, into one.' Others have 'confused two into one,' but the publication of the colony records and the indexing of the wills and deeds give us the means of identifying the different Johns, and distinguishing them from each other, even if we cannot trace their origin and early history.
"I. THOMAS ROGERS and his son Joseph came over in the Mayflower in 1620; his other children came later; they all settled in what was then Plymouth. (Bradford, pp. 449, 453).
"II. Lieut. JOSEPH ROGERS lived 'on Duxborrow Side' before Duxbury was made a town, and after that in Duxbury, on Jones River, across which, by special author- ity, he maintained a public ferry 'near his house.' About 1655, he moved with his family to Eastham, where he spent the remainder of his life, and died early in 1678. .
"The will of 'Joseph Rogers, senior, of Eastham, dated Jan. 2, 1666/7 and proved Mar. 5, 1677/8,' mentions sons Thomas, John and James, and daughters Elizabeth Higgins and Hannah Rogers. Joseph, Jr. had died and his estate been settled in the early part of 1661; and Thomas and James died in 1678, soon after their father.
"VI. JOHN ROGERS OF DUXBURY
"I conclude that, beyond any room for doubt, he was the son of Thomas of the Mayflower, the brother of Lieut. Joseph, who died in Eastham, the father of the John who married Elizabeth Pabodie (Peabody) and the grand-
*[ 126 ]%
father of the Hannah Rogers who married Maj. Samuel Bradford. . . . John Rogers and Ann Churchman were married Apr. 16, 1639. . . . . On Apr. 6, 1640, Constant Southworth and Thomas Southworth, his brother, Joseph Rogers and John Rogers, his brother, were granted fifty acres apiece of upland near where Mr. Vassal's farm is at North River, with apportionable meadows, etc. June 5, 1644, John Rogers was appointed surveyor for Duxburrow.
"VII. There was a John Rogers in Billerica ; and still another in Watertown; but they have been identified, and have not been 'confused' with those I have men- tioned. .
"The truth is that John of Marshfield, John of Duxbury and John of Weymouth were three different men, each of whom made his will, showing that each of them had a son John, and two of them each a grandson John, son of the son John. "

HENRY SAMSON
Henry Samson came in the Mayflower with Edward Tilley and his wife. He was too young to sign the Compact, but he was included in the assignment of lands in 1623 and in the division of cattle in 1627.
In 1650 Bradford wrote: "Edward Tillie and his wife both dyed soon after their arivall ; and the girle Humility Cooper, their cousen, was sent for into England, and dyed ther. But the youth Henery Samson is still liveing, and is maried, and hath 7 children."
Henry Samson removed to Duxbury early and was one of the original grantees of Bridgewater, 1645, although he never moved there. He was constable of Duxbury in 1661, an office of high responsibility and trust in those days.
