DR. ORVILLE WILLIAMS JUDD. Thomas Judd, the immigrant ancestor of Dr. Orville Will- iams Judd, of Westborough, Massachusetts, was from England, coming in 1633 or 1634 and settling. at Cambridge, Massachusetts. His home lot of four acres was granted in August, 1634. It was in that part of Cambridge called the- West End on the northeast side of the highway to Watertown. He built a house on this lot. His name is among those who were to receive their proportion of meadow ground, August 20, 1035, and also in the list of those who had houses in Cambridge in February, 1636. He was admitted a freeman of the colony May 25, 1636.
He removed to Hartford, Connecticut, in 1636,. and it is not improbable that he was one of the com- pany of about one hundred men, women and chil- dren who departed from Cambridge, May 31, 1636, and traveled through the wilderness to the Con- necticut river. His neighbors at Hartford were William Gibbens, James Cole, John Moody and Mr. Willys. His house lot was on the south side of the Willys home lot on which the charter oak was located, and both lots extended to the highway leading to Wethersfield. Thomas Judd was one of the first proprietors and settlers of Farmington, Connecticut, about 1641. His home lot there was the third from the north end of the main street, on both sides of the street extending west to the Farmington river. He was a substantial farmer and an influential man. Framington first sent deputies to- the general court in May, 1647. Thomas Judd and Stephen Hart. Thomas Judd, was also a deputy in 1648-49-50-51-57-58-59-61-62-63-66-68-70-77-78-79.
The wife of Thomas Judd died in Farmington about 1678. He married (second), December 2, 1679, Clemence Mason, widow of Thomas Mason, who died in Northampton in 1678, and they resided in Northampton most of the time during the re- mainder of his life. Her homestead was on the east side of Pleasant street. Thomas Judd was one of the selectmen of Northampton in 1682. The youngest son Samuel came to Northampton and lived with his father, took care of the widow after his father died and she gave to him her estate.
Thomas Judd was a member of the church of Hooker and Stone, both at Cambridge and Hart- ford. He was one of the charter members of the church at Farmington, October 13, 1652. His wife joined the church, November, 1652. He was the second deacon of the church. Deacon Judd died November 12, 1688. His wife Clemence died No- vember 22, 1696. He settled his estate by deeds and left 110 will, the deeds being dated 1683-84-85.

His early education was acquired in the public schools, and he subsequently pursued a the- ological course preparatory to entering the ministry of the Methodist Episcopal church. He began to preach in 1847 and continued his ministry from place to place after the Methodist custom. He was settled in Westborough, Oxford, Fitchburg and other Worcester county towns. He belonged to the New England conference most of his life as a min- ister of the gospel. He was a devout, scholarly man, to whom the author of the Judd genealogy owed much in the preparation of that work. He retired from the ministry in 1877 on account of physical disability and settled in South Framing- ham, where during his last years he was engaged in the real estate business. He died October 13, 1896.

He was educated for his profession in Harvard Dental School, Boston. He opened his office first in Fitchburg, Massachu- setts, having later an office in Webster, Massachu- setts. In 1873 he located in Westborough, where he has ever since resided and practiced his pro- fession. He has achieved marked success in his work and has a large and lucrative practice. In politics Dr. Judd is a stanch Democrat of the old school. He is a Free Mason, Marlboro Lodge, an active member and senior warden of the Protestant Episcopal church at Westborough.

GLAZIER FAMILY. John Glazier (1), the im- migrant ancestor of George Ezra Glazier, of Boyls- ton, Massachusetts, was born probably in England, in 1640. He was in Woburn, Massachusetts, as early as 1663, and his name appears on the list of tax- payers in 1666. He must have been a desirable citizen, for twenty of the leading citizens of the town "to encourage him to remain" contributed each a portion of his land about to be divided. Fourteen gave an acre each, one gave two acres, and eight a half acre each "to be deducted from their several proportions of common lands about to be divided and to be laid out at Wyman Bridge, some on each side of the brook."
He married Elizabeth George, daughter of John
150
WORCESTER COUNTY
George, of Charlestown. He lived most of his life in Woburn but died at Lancaster where his son John settled, and the inventory of his estate is dated October 29, 1688. The children of John and Eliza- beth Glazier were: John, born 1603, died young ; Zachariah, April 20, 1666; Elizabeth, August 4, 1668; John, December 15, 1669, mentioned below ; Ruth, May 30, 1071; Samuel, July 5, 1072; George, June 3, 1676.
(11) John Glazier, son of John Glazier (I), was born at Woburn, Massachusetts, December 15, 1669. He settled when a young man in Lancaster, Massachusetts. A member of his family, probably his daughter, Mary Glazier, was one of those cap- tured by the savages in the Indian raid of September 22, 1697. Among others who were killed were: Rev. Mr. Whiting; Ephraim Roper, wife and daugh- ter; Jonathan Fairbank and Joseph Rugg.
Jolın Glazier was one of the signers of the peti- tion to the general court in the spring of 1703, from somne relief in matters of taxation. The names of George and Joseph Glazier also appear on this list, and were probably his brothers. All three resided on the west side of the Panacook river, and in 1704 were listed in the Garrison at Sergeant Josiah White's house. John Glazier signed the following petition in 1708: "We inhabitants on the west part of the town of Lancaster, being the extreme front, and having subsisted Captain William Tyng's men, are kept out of our money to our very great dam- age. Some of us being poor, and under engagements which cannot be answered for want hereof, which exposes to the penalty of the law, we have none to address ourselves but to your honors, and the father of our Israel." Jabez Fairbanks, Joseph Hutchins, John Glazier, John Prescot, Cyprian Stevens, Josiah White, Nathaniel Sawyer. it is comforting to know that the court made Tyng pay his bills, November, 1709.
The lack of records at Lancaster at this period makes it difficult to prove the names of his chil- dren. If the following were not his sons, they were nephews : William, married Martha, and resided at Lancaster, 1729; Mary, captured by the Indians; Benjamin, was of Lancaster; Isaiah, ancestor of the Hardwick branch; John, mentioned below.

He was also in Captain Gideon Parker's regiment, Colonel Moses Little's regiment later in 1777. He appears to have removed from Lancaster to Westminster about 1770, and to Boyls- ton about 1777. He married Mary Brooks, widow, of Bolton, (intentions dated September 20) 1700. Their children, born at Lancaster, were: Jacob, born August 3, 1761; Oliver, May 23, 1763; John, 1764, died 1855, married Rachel Hastings (in 1785), eldest daughter of Stephen Hastings, and had ten children.

He married Sarah Dinsmore, daughter of John Dinsmore, and had several children. He mar- ried (second) Polly Gerry, of Sterling.
(VI) John Glazier, son of Jason Glazier (5), was born in 1800, on the homestead at West Boyls- ton, and was educated in the public schools of that town.

(VII) Ezra A. Glazier, son of John Glazier (6), was born in Salem, Massachusetts, July 30, 1824, and died in Boylston, December 8, 1868. He was educated in the public schools of Salem, and fol- lowed the seas for his occupation. He became a sea captain. His first voyage as master was in 1860, when he carried dirt-cars to the Isthmus of Panama used in the construction of the railroad there. On this and subsequent voyages he was ac- companied by his wife, and he remained a sea cap- tain until ill health made him retire. Ite then set- tled on the farm at Boylston where he spent the rest of his days. The farm where he died is at present owned by F. C. Hall, of Boylston. politics he was a Democrat. He served on the school committee of Boylston. He was a member of the Congregational church. He married Margaret A.

He worked in a general store six months, then determined to return to Massachusetts. In 1889 he purchased a lot of land and began to build a residence for himself. He also built for investment.
