This surname has long been held GOVE by an old and eminently respect- able English family, and the branch here to be considered traces easily to the years of the fifteenth century ; but our present nar- rative has chiefly to deal with the descendants of John Gove, born in England in 1604, came from London to New England in 1646, with his family, and settled in the plantation at Charlestown, Massachusetts.
(I) John Gove, said to have been the com- mon ancestor of nearly all who bear that sur- name in this country, brought with him to New England in 1646 his wife Sarah, born in England in 1601, and their children, two sons and one daughter. He was a mechanic, a dealer and worker in brass, but he lived only about one year after settling in Charlestown. His elder son John, born in England, in 1627. lived in Charlestown, where he was a turner by trade, a deacon of the church many years, constable and tythingman, and otherwise prominent in town life. He married first, Oc- tober 6, 1658, Mary Aspinwall, who died No- vember 14, 1676, leaving six children. He married second, March 15, 1677, Mary Wood- ward, who died September 1I, 1700, leaving three children. He married third, December 2, 1700, Widow Elizabeth Waldron, and he himself died November 24, 1704. His de- scendants settled chiefly in Watertown, Lin- coln and other towns in Massachusetts, and one of them went to New Hampshire and founded a branch of the family there. Ed- ward, second son of John and Sarah, will be made the subject of more extended mention in the succeeding paragraph. Mary Gove, only daughter of John and Sarah, is supposed to have been given in adoption to Ralph Mansall by her father under his will. She is men- tioned in Mansall's will, but little else appears to be known of her.
(II) Edward Gove, younger son of John
and Sarah Gove, born in 1630, in England, came to America with his parents in 1646. About 1665 he went to New Hampshire and settled in Hampton, where he became a man of influence and considerable means. In 1683 he was a member of the assembly which was summarily dissolved on the order of Governor Cranfield, an action that aroused great public indignation and caused the people of New Hampshire to show their resentment of the gubernatorial assumption of authority by a formidable movement of which Edward Gove himself was the guiding spirit and which had for its purpose the overthrow of the govern- ment as then established. For this offense, which was charged as treason against the crown, Edward Gove and ten other leading men, one of whom was his son John, who were conspicuously identified with the opposi- tion to Cranfield's arbitrary and unwarranted action, were brought to court, tried and con- victed. Gove himself received the sentence of death and his estate was confiscated, but the other alleged offenders were pardoned. He was sent to England in irons, there imprisoned for three years in London tower, then was pardoned and his estates restored to him.
In speaking of the events noted above, Mr. Dow, in his most excellent "History of Hamp- ton," has characterized Governor Cranfield as "a man as unprincipled and as greedy of gain as the king himself," and that "for a valuable consideration" he consented to become the tool of Mason for the purpose of carrying out his purposes in appropriating as much as possible of the lands of New Hampshire, and that re- gardless of the rights of others. The events to the movement in opposition to Cranfield's tyrannical acts Mr. Dow has narrated under the caption of "Edward Gove's Insurrection," and the responsibility for the unwarranted charges against Gove and his associates he lays at the door of one Randolph, of whom he writes that "to one unacquainted with Ran- dolph's character and his malignity toward the people of New England it would be difficult to account for such a statement ; but taking into consideration his character and prejudice, it is even more surprising that he could keep so near the truth." "Gove and his associates having been arrested, the governor sent a strong party of horse to guard them (then prisoners in irons) from Hampton to Ports- mouth." At the trial Gove was examined first. He did not deny what he had done and admitted that "he did sound or cause to be sounded, the. trumpet being his own; and did

draw his sword because his own," and added : "The Governor is no judge of this court, but a pretended one, and a traitor to the king and his authority." Then addressing Governor Cranfield directly, he said: "Your honour is in more danger of your life than I." Being asked what he meant, he answered: "God in heaven will do me justice." Having been ad- judged guilty of treason, the sentence pro- nounced upon Edward Gove is recorded in these words: "That he should be carried back to the place from whence he came, and from thence be drawn to the place of execution, and there to be hanged by the neck and cut down alive, and that his entrails be taken out and burnt before his face, and his head cut off, and his body divided into four quarters, and his head and quarters disposed of at the king's pleasure." This revolting sentence, however, was not executed, and after three years im- prisonment in the tower of London he was granted full pardon, restored to his former rights in citizenship and property. Thus it was that the progenitor of one of the most prominent New England families barely escaped a martyr's death, for he in truth had committed no offence and only stood up strongly and without fear in defense of the common rights and liberties of the people against those who oppressed them and sought to rob them of their privileges as freemen as well as of their possessions.

(V) John Gove, second child and eldest son of Jonathan and Mary ( Lancaster ) Gove, was born in Hampton. New Hampshire, January 28, 1722. He was a Quaker, and is thus men- tioned in the records of the town of Weare: "John Gove, a Quaker from Kensington. set- tled on lot 36, range 5. east of the North Quaker meeting-house." During the early
154
BOSTON AND EASTERN MASSACHUSETTS.
years of the revolution the public men of Weare felt considerable anxiety in regard to what position the so-called Quakers might take in defense of the common liberties, hence had recourse to the test oath to determine whether they were still "scrupulous of bearing arms." Twenty-nine Quakers refused to sub- scribe to the oath, "on principle," among them John Gove and his son John and four others of the same surname. But this refusal to sign was not an indication of disloyalty, or of tory proclivities, and only showed that the Friends ( commonly and incorrectly called Quakers), true to their creed were "conscientiously scru- pulous of bearing arms." John Gove married Lydia Purington, of Kensington ; children : I. Mary, born February 18, 1748; married Caleb Peaslee. 2.

Simon, the father, died of smallpox on the voyage over, and his widow settled in Roxbury, Massachusetts. In 1640 William and Simon Huntington settled in that part of the old town of Salisbury that now is Ames- bury, Massachusetts.
(VIII) Captain John R. Gove, son of Rob- ert and Sarah (Huntington) Gove, born in Deering, New Hampshire, December 21, 1807, died November 9, 1878. For forty terms he was a school teacher in New Hampshire, and afterward became master of a vessel engaged in the foreign trade. Having followed the sea for many years he afterward became a farmer, and followed that occupation so long as he lived. He died in Peabody, Massachu- setts, in 1878, and is buried in that town. Cap- tain Gove married three times. His first wife was Sarah Dunsack, whom he divorced ; a son, born January 1, 1830, and died young ; buried in Salem. Ile married second, in Havana, Cuba, Mary Amando De Soto. One son was born of this marriage, and he too, like his father and his mother's father became a sailorman, master of a foreign trading vessel when he was only nineteen years old. On the last voyage out the ship sailed for Antwerp, a letter from him was received from Antwerp but never after- wards was heard of. Captain Gove married third, Lephe Putnam Lovejoy, born in Deering.

cation, as evidenced by the records left behind him. He married, in England, Martha and had a son and daughter before leaving his native land. He came to America it is thought in 1834, in the bark "Elizabeth," from Ips- wich, England. His name is not on the pas- senger list, but that of his friend Robert Day appears, and as they settled on adjoining lots in Newtown, Massachusetts Bay, now in the city of Cambridge, May 6, 1635, it is reason- able to believe that they came together. In June, 1636, Rev. Thomas Hooker and about a hundred others, men, women and children, probably including Nathaniel Ely, made their way through the wilderness to a fertile spot on the Connecticut river and made the first settlement at Hartford. It appears from the early records and a map made in 1640 that Ely owned a homestead there. In 1639 he was one of the constables, and in 1643 and 1649 one of the selectmen. The name of Nathaniel Ely is on the monument to the mem- ory of the first settlers of Hartford. He after- wards removed to what is now Norwalk, Con- necticut, of which he was one of the founders and first settlers. There he remained until 1659, when he sold his property and removed to Springfield, Massachusetts, where he passed the remainder of his life. Here, as at Hart- ford, he was called to serve the public soon after his arrival, and was selectman in Spring- field in 1661-63-66-68-71 and 73. His place of residence in that town from 1660 to 1665 is not definitely known, though it is most likely that he lived in what is now Chicopee. In 1665 he became the keeper of the ordinary, or tavern, a business which he continued to follow to the time of his death, December 25, 1675. Martha, his wife, died in Springfield, October 23. 1688. Children: 1. Samuel, mentioned below. 2. Ruth, died October 12, 1662.
(II) Samuel Ely, son of Nathaniel Ely (1), was born probably in Hartford, Con- necticut, or Cambridge, Massachusetts : died March 19, 1692. He removed to Springfield with his parents, and married in that town, October 28, 1659, Mary Day, daughter and youngest child of Robert Day and his second wife Editha (Stebbins) Day. Mary was born in Hartford in 1641. Samuel Ely was quite successful in acquiring property, and at his death left a considerable estate. He died in Springfield.
