Then he became book keeper for the firm of Morse & White, manufacturers of wire cloth. 75 Cornhill, Boston. Three years later he left this position to enter partnership with his brother. Charles F. Cutler, in the milk busi- ness. under the firm name of Cutler Brothers. Their toute was in Newton, Watertown and Mount Auburn. Charles F. Cutler owned and conducted the dairy, and Clarence H. had charge of the route. The partnership con- tinued five years, when Clarence H. Cutler be- came the sole owner of the business, buying out his partner, and he has continued very successfully in the milk business to the present time. Ile divided his route on account of the . increase of business and soll that part in New- ton and Mount Auburn to his brother Edward E. Cutler, retaining for himself the Water- town customers. Afterwards he established a new route in the adjoining city of Cambridge.

PEW In his work on the "Origin and sig- nification of Suffolk Surnames." Bowditch mentions Pew among the English patronymics which are derived from edifices, and with Pew he also gives the names Steeple and Spire. The name is also men- tioned by various investigators of the deriva- tion of English surnames as an abbreviation or modification of the ancient Welsh names Ap Hugh. This 'ap' is the Welsh equivalent of our English 'son', and in many instances when it comes before a name beginning with a vowel has been incorporated with it; thus, Ap Hugh has given us Pugh.
The Pew family of the line treated in these annals is believed to have been of the ancient Welsh Pugh family, and to have descended from Thomas Pugh, one of three brothers- Francis, Daniel and Thomas Pugh-younger sons of a Welsh squire, and who arrived in Virginia in 1666. A search among the old court records and land transfers shows that they settled in upper Nansemond county, near the town of Suffolk. about twenty miles from Norfolk. Francis, the elder brother, built his house with brick imported from England. The house bore the name of Jericho. Many years afterward Dr. Edward Pugh, of Windsor, North Carolina, made a careful search of the locality of the mansion house of his ancestor and secured several of the bricks that had been used in its construction.
A search of the published lists of passen- gers who came from England to America dur- ing the seventeenth century shows that in May. 1635, Elizabeth Pew, aged twenty years, came from London in the "Speedwell," Jo: Chap- pell, master, bound for Virginia ; that in June, 1635. Richard Pew, aged twenty-three years, came from London in the "Thomas and John," bound for his majesty's colony in Virginia ; and that in July, 1635. Jo: Pew came over in the "Primrose" and landed in the colony in
Virginia. This mention is made to show that there were persons of the family name Pew in the colonies of Virginia during the next thirty years after the founding of the settle- ment at Jamestown in 1607, although the name never had many representatives in any of the southern plantations. In Middlesex county, Virginia, as early as August 31, 1681, William Carter married Penelope Pew. Pugh, Pew and Pue are uncommon names in Virginia, and Pue is the name of a family which has been seated chiefly in Maryland for many genera- tions. Daniel Pugh was a member of the Vir- ginia assembly from Nansemond county in 1736-38-40. Daniel Pugh was in Lancaster county in 1735. In Meade's "Churches and Families of Virginia" it is mentioned that William Pugh was a vestryman of the Nanse- mond church, 1773-4. Joseph Pugh was a soldier of the revolutionary war from Shen- andoah county, Virginia, 1777, and Samuel Peugh was in military service in Loudoun county, Virginia, 1774. Edward Pugh was alderman of Norfolk, Nansemond county, 1748, and married Lucy Calvert there, June 19. 1755.
The Rev. Horace Edwin Hayden, author of "Virginia Genealogies," says that the Pughs of Norfolk county, the Pughs of Pugh's Land- ing in North Carolina, the Pughs of Pugh's Run in Shenandoah county, Virginia, and the Pughs of Lewis county, Kentucky, must all be of one family, and also the township of Pughtown, in Chester county, Pennsylvania, is named in allusion to a Welsh family which settled there about the year 1730.
Francis Pugh, son of Francis the immigrant. married Pheribee Savage, a native of Corn- wall. England, and relative of Peyton Ran- dolph, of Virginia. Their children were Thomas Pugh, Sen., John Pugh, Pheribee Pugh, Phebe Pugh and Penelope Pugh. The daughter Pheribee married John Williams, and was mother of Benjamin Williams, twice governor of North Carolina. The Haywoods of Raleigh, the Camerons of Hillsboro, and the Guions of Newbern, are descendants of John Williams and Pheribee Pugh. The Sav-
age pedigree is published in the "Virginia His- torical Magazine." The Savages came over in 1607 and are still in Virginia, as well as in several other states. Francis Pugh (2d) re- moved to North Carolina and settled in what then was known as the Chowan precinct, which bordered on the Virginia line and Albermarle Sound, and which afterward was divided into several counties, one of them being Bertie

county. The will of Francis Pugh, dated July 5, 1733, proved at the May term of court in 1736, mentions his son Thomas, son John, and child in case : this posthumous child was Fran- cis Pugh (3d) who married Mary Whitwell. After the death of her husband Pheribee Sav- age married Colonel Thomas Barker, and had one child, Betsey Barker, who afterward was the ward of her relative, Peyton Randolph of Virginia, and was sought in marriage by Thomas Jefferson, then a member of the Vir- ginia house of burgesses.
(II) Colonel Thomas Pugh, son of Francis and Pheribee ( Savage) Pugh, was born in 1719. died in 1813, and was buried at his house, Imrocky, in Bertie county. He was prominent in his day, and both he and his brother John Pugh were patriots identified with the struggle for local self-government and independence. Thomas Pugh was a man of great intellect and shrewdness and accumu- lated more wealth than perhaps any other man of his day, with the possible exceptions of General Willie (or Wylie) Jones, Colonel Williams and the elder Pollocks. He was one of the purchasers of the Tuscarora Indian reservation lands, which he bought at the time (1712) when that people went north and joined the Five Nations. He was elected dele- gate for Bertie county to the constitutional convention of North Carolina. which met at Halifax, November 12, 1776. The family rec- ord of births, marriages and deaths in the Pugh family is lost, the bible containing this record having been taken from the house of Edward Pugh, on Bayou La Fourche, Louis- iana, while he was absent from home during the late civil war. Edward Pugh was the eldest son of Thomas Pugh, who was grand- son of Thomas Pugh, senior.
These brief data merely give light on the subject of Pugh family life in the region where the earlier generations of representatives of the surnames were seated during the seven- teenth and eighteenth centuries. At one time they were a numerous family in the south, but in more recent generations they became scattered through frequent immigrations and settled in the states north of Virginia. There was one among them who soon after the mid- (lle of the eighteenth century came north to New England and took up his abode in the town of Gloucester, on Cape Ann. He was there called William Pew. although there is more than tradition to support the belief that he came of the old Pugh family which sat down in the Old Dominion more than one
hundred years before. Every effort has been made to establish the connection between the Virginia and North Carolina Pughs with Wil- liam Pugh, but the loss and destruction of necessary family records, and of county and state archives as well, have made this impos- sible of accomplishment. It is not at all prob- able. hardly possible, that William Pew of Cape Ann was in any manner related to or a descendant of either Richard Pew or Joseph Pew, who are mentioned in the ship's lists of immigrants that sailed from London to Vir- ginia in 1635, but it is understood that he was a descendant of one of the three Pugh brothers who settled in Virginia several years later than the Pews.
(I) William Pew first appears in Gloucester history about 1760, and there is a tradition that he went there on a vessel engaged in the coast- wise trade between Gloucester and southern ports. He was born in Westmoreland county. Virginia, in 1732. the year in which Washing- ton was born, and one historical account says that they were neighbors. During the French and English war. William Pew was in service. and is said to have belonged to the company of Virginia men under Washington, which form- od a part of Braddock's army in the ill-advised expedition against Fort Duquesne in 1755, and which resulted in such disastrous defeat to the British arms on account of the incapacity of the commanding general. Subsequently he again served under Washington, and is said to have been his personal attendant. It is evi- dent that Mr. Pew's place of residence in Westmoreland county was near by to navig- able water, that he was accustomed to sailor life and that he was persuaded to go to Glou- cester through the representations of men of that town who followed the sea in trading ships along the southern seaboard. His home in Gloucester was at Fresh Water Cove, where be built a house, and his chief occupation was fishing, in which he was noted for industry and success. He died January 6, 1840. having attained. according to contemporary accounts. the very unusual age of one hundred seven years. Mr. Babson, author of the "History of Gloucester," who knew Mr. Pew very well. is of the opinion that at the time of his death Mr. Pew "had not probably quite reached that extraordinary age," but without doubt had at- tained the age of one hundred years, if not more. In speaking of him Mr. Babson says : "His great age attests the strength of his con- stitution, which was one of great power of endurance and was not much shattered until

near the end of his life." Mr. Pew married, April 19, 1767. Abigail Grover, born May 14. 1732, daughter of Nehemiah Grover, born August 9. 1703, died January 13, 1761, and Abigail Harris. Nehemiah Grover was a son of Elder Edmund Grover, baptized May 4, 1679. died February 5. 1761, and Mary Lowe, who died May 16. 1757, aged seventy-eight years. Edmund Grover was chosen ruling elder of the Fifth church in Gloucester, in January, 1756, and served until his death. Elder Grover, first of Beverly, where he was made freeman in 1678, was a son of Nehemiah Grover, born about 1644, died February 12, 1694. Hle mar- ried December 2, 1674. Ruth Haskell. Ne- hemiah Grover was a son of Edmund Grover. born about 1600, died June 11, 1682, aged eighty-two, and who lived first in Salem and afterward in Beverly. Tradition says that he went to New England with Endicott. He was made freeman in 1633 and became proprietor of lands in 1636. His estate was administered the "2d of 6th month 1682." His wife's name was Margaret. Children of William and Abi- gail ( Grover) Pew, all born in Gloucester: I. Richard Grover, born May 16, 1768; married October 15, 1791, Esther Lane. 2.

(II) William Pew, Jr .. youngest son and child of William and Abigail (Grover) Pew. born in Gloucester, Massachusetts, June 3, 1775. died there November 6, 1848. He was an ener- getie and successful business man, having his. home at Fresh Water Cove, owning his own vessel, which he employed chiefly in fishing. He possessed excellent judgment. and it was a common saying among his neighbors at the Cove that "Captain Pew always came home with a full fare." It is not understood that he engaged in coast trading, although he may have voyaged in southern waters as a fisherman or for the purpose of marketing his cured fish. However this may have been, he was on one occasion compelled to abandon his vessel while on the southern coast, as will be seen by the following account: "April 25. 1814. arrived (at Gloucester) boat Ograbme, thirty-four days from Elizabeth City, N. C., and with Captain Pew. Captain Sargent and others, who left their vessel on account of the embargo and came home in an open boat. a distance of one
thousand miles, hanling their way fifty six miles across capes and headlands." This was one of the events of the war of 1812-15. Cap- tain Pew died under circumstances very simi- lar to those which marked the death of his son John. He was engaged in clearing up his land and accidentally injured a finger among the brambles. It became very painful and so much swollen that amputation was necessary, but not in time to save his life.
