SOUTHWORTH LORING. The immigrant an- cestor of Southworth Loring, of Fitchburg, was Thomas Loring, of Hingham, born in England, and one of the earliest settlers. His descendants have been numerous in Plymouth county. He was a pro- prietor of Hingham and was admitted freeman there March 3, 1635-6. He was a deputy to the general court and deacon of the church. His house was burned March 15, 1645-6, and he then removed to Hull, Massachusetts.

He died April 4, 1661, and the inventory of his estate is dated June 27, 1662. His widow Jane died August 25, 1672. Her will, dated. July 10, 1672, and proved October 23, 1672, bequeathed to eldest son, Thomas Loring, and Hannah, his wife; to sons John and Benjamin; to son Josiah's wife. His children : Thomas; John, born December 22, 1630; Isaac, baptized January 20, 1639-40, died February following: Isaac, born 1641, baptized January 9, 1641-2, died March 2, 1644-5; Josiah, baptized Janu- ary 9. 1641 ; Benjamin, baptized November 24, 1644. The Loring family resided at Duxbury, Plymouth, Middleboro and Plimpton.

Southworth Loring, a descendant of Thomas Loring. was born in Plimpton, Massachusetts. form- erly Plymouth, July 20, 1819. He moved when very young with the family to Middleboro, a neigh- boring town, and was brought up and educated in the public schools there. He learned the trade of an iron molder and later went into business in Middleboro as the proprietor of an iron foundry there, and became a prominent business man. He was very successful and enterprising. He enlisted in the famous Sixth Massachusetts Regiment, and was chosen second lieutenant of the Middleboro company. He was given one of the medals issued by the commonwealth of Massachusetts to "The Minute Men of 1861," a handsome bronze souvenir for the men who responded to Lincoln's first call for troops. He was injured by long marches and had to leave the service, never entirely recovering his health. He was discharged from the service December 19. 1863, at that time being lieutenant

of Company E, Fortieth Massachusetts Infantry, to which he was transferred from the Sixth.

Mr. Loring was a stanch Republican in politics and held various town offices in Middleboro. He was a member of Mayflower Lodge of Free Masons and was active in the work of the lodge. He was a member of the local post of the Grand Army and well known among the veterans of Plymouth county. He was a Spiritualist in religion and for many years was a prominent layman in that sect. After he retired from business he made his home in Fitchburg, living there quietly until his death, December 28, 1886. He was a man of model char- acter, earnest, religious and charitable.

He married (first), June 12, 1879, Elvira Gage Lewis, widow of Benjamin Lewis (who died in 1869), and daughter of Moses M. and Sophia (Simonds) Gage, of Hubbardston, Massachusetts. They had no children. She survives him, living at the old home, 197 Blossom street. Besides his wife Mr. Loring left a sister, Myra, who married Eben Hathaway; a niece, daughter of his brother Thomas, Caroline Monroe, wife of Don Monroe, of Bridgewater; also her sister Georgia Le Barron, wife of Eugene P. Le Barron. of Middleboro.

ALBERT BRAINARD LAWRENCE. Law- rence is a famous old name in England as well as America. The pedigree of the English families lias been carefully investigated, and the history of the family well preserved. Robert Lawrence, of Lancashire, England, born probably as early as A. D. 1150, was the ancestor of the carliest Lawrence families on record. He attended Richard II, "Coeur de Lion," in the Crusades to the Holy Land, and distinguished himself at the siege of Acre, for which he was knighted as Sir Robert of Ashton Hall. His arms, still used by his descendants all over the world, were: a cross, raguely gules, A. D. 1191.

His house lot was granted 1635. Sv George Blott. The records of Henry Lawrence in Charlestown are meagre and confusing. Per- haps he remained only a few years, and returned to England. Christian. who is given as his wife by some writers, had a son John, whose age does not agree with that of Henry's son John of Water- town and Groton. The will of Henry Lawrence's father refers to Henry's son John as in Charlestown, in New England.

(XVII) John Lawrence, son of Henry Lawrence (16), of Wisset. England, and Charlestown, Massa- chusetts. born in Wisset, baptized there October 8. 1600. (See will of his grandfather. John Law- rence.) Ile was in Charlestown. hut settled in Watertown. There is another John Lawrence, probably a relative. with whom John Lawrence (17). is generally confused: both had wives named Su- sanna. John Lawrence came to New England prob- ably with Governor Winthrop. 1630 five years before his father. Ile settled in Watertown. where he was a proprietor 1636, and freeman, April 17. 1637. He

was a carpenter. His farm was on the east side of Fresh Pond, and he bought also thirty-five acres of Isaac Cummins, and owned about one hundred and fifty acres of land in 1642. His neighbors were Timothy Hawkins and John Hammond, and the homestead was in what is now Belmont, on the west side of the common. He was on the grand jury 1662. He sold his mansion house and farm 1662, and removed to Groton, where he located southwest of Gibbet Hill. Joseph F. Hall owned the farm some years ago. He was a proprietor of Groton, twice selectman, highway surveyor. His wife Elizabeth died at Groton. August 29, 1663. and he married November 2, 1664. at Charlestown, Susanna Batcheller, by whom he had two children. He died at Groton, July 11, 1667: his widow Susanna died July 8. 1668, at Charlestown. Her will, dated July, 1668, and proved December 16, 1668, devised to father and mother. brother and sister. His children were: I. John. mentioned be- low. 2. Nathaniel, born October 15. 1639. 3. Jo- seph, born March, 1612. 4. Joseph, born May 30. 1643. 5. Jonathan, buried April 6, 1648. 6.

April 19. 1682, Abigail Bellows, settled in Norwich, Connecticut. II. Elizabeth, born May 0, 1655, at Boston. (Note that a John Lawrence married in Boston, February 8. 1653-4. Elizabeth Atkinson, and this child may be theirs; this may be a second wife of the John of Groton.) 12. Jonathan, born at Watertown. 13. Zachariah, born March 9. 1658-9. at Watertown. By second wife Susanna, John had : 14. Abigail, born at Groton. January 9. 1666. 15. Susanna, July 3 1667. at Groton. died 1667.

(XVIII) John Lawrence, son of John Lawrence (17), was born in Charlestown, Massachusetts, March 14, 1635-6. He is confused with one or more John Lawrences of the same period in Charlestown, Boston and Watertown. If our research is correct, however, this John, born 1636, was son of John of Watertown and Groton. He settled in Charles- town for a time and married into the well known Buckmaster family. His wife was Sarah Buck- master. married September 30. 1657. at Boston, and he was then residing at Muddy River ( Brookline). where some of their children were doubtless born. They went to Wrentham, and Sarah had one daugh- ter there. She died there August 30. 1690. John died March 25, 1684. Thomas Buckmaster, her father. was from Wales. admitted a freeman May 6 1636. resided also at Muddy River, and died there September 20. 1656. He had a son named Lawrence : the families may have heen related. The children of John and Sarah (Buckmaster) Law- rence : 1. Ebenezer (?), lived at Wrentham, married Mary -. and had there: Sarah, born Mav 30, 1700 and Mary, born May 25, 1711. 2. Daniel. re- sided at Wrentham. and had son Thomas there in 1705-6. 3. Mary, born at Wrentham, March 16. 1682. 1. David, mentioned helow.

It was an old house estab- lished about fifty years before, and from the outset Mr. Lawrence had a good business. His place of business was formerly opposite the American House, where the Fitchburg Trust Company building now stands. He was located there for twenty years.'

GARDNER K. HUDSON. The Hudson family was represented among the pioneers in New Eng- land by James Hudson, of Boston, John Hudson, of Duxbury, Ralph Hudson, of Cambridge, William Hudson, of Boston, and Daniel Hudson, of Lancas- ter. They intermarried with some of the most in- fluential families, as the historian of Marlboro states the fact, adding that scarcely any other family has furnished so many soldiers in the Indian, French and Revolutionary wars. The relationship between the various pioneer settlers is not known, nor their English pedigrees definitely ascertained.

(I) Daniel Hudson, who was the pioneer an- cestor of Gardner K. Hudson, of Fitchburg, Massa- chusetts, came from England in 1639 and was in . Watertown in 1640. He removed to Lancaster in 1665 and purchased of Major Simon Willard, one of the proprietors, a proprietor's right for forty pounds. His farm was situated near Gibson hill in Lancaster. He married Johanna -, and they had five or six children before they went to Lancaster, where their births were recorded. He, his wife, two daugh- ters, and two children of his son Nathaniel, were killed by the Indians in one of their incursions into the ill-fated town of Lancaster in 1697. His family was away from Lancaster during King Philip's war, of course, but they had returned when the town was re-settled. He was in Concord in 1673 accord- ing to a deed to "Daniel Hudson, of Concord, some- times of Lancaster, of twenty acres from John Moore, of Sudbury." Later a deed indicates that he lived at Newton. He was named as "Daniel Hud- son, late of Lancaster. but now of Cambridge Vil- lage (Newton)" and he deeded to his oldest son Daniel, who is about to be married to Mary Maynard, of Sudbury, daughter of John Maynard, some twenty acres of land. In 1688 Daniel Hudson ( I) and wife deeded to son, William Hudson, land on Gibson's hill, Lancaster. His will was dated 1695 and proved October 14. 1697, and mentions his wife and sons : William. Nathaniel and Thomas. An agreement for the settlement of the estate was signed by Nathaniel for himself and brother Thomas: Samuel Waters in the right of his wife Mary (Hudson) ; by Jacob Waters in the right of his wife Sarah (Hudson) ; and by James Atherton in right of his wife Abigail (Hudson). Most of the male members of the family apparently left Lancaster soon after- ward. The destruction of the Lancaster records and migratory character of the family, Hudson

says, deprives us of most of the information neces- sary to complete the genealogical record of the fam- ily. The name was frequently spelled Hutson in the early days.

The children of Daniel and Johanna Hudson were: Daniel, born May 26, 1651, married Mary Maynard ; Mary, September 7, 1653, married Samuel Waters; Sarah, June 1, 1656, married Jacob Waters; Elizabeth, June 11, 1658, killed by Indians ; Johanna, born June 6. 1660, killed by the Indians; John, May 10. 1662, perhaps died young ; Anne, January 1, 1664, probably died young; Mary, June 12, 1665; Abigail, September 7, 1667, married James Atherton; Na- thaniel, of whom later; Thomas, about 1673.

(II) Nathaniel Hudson, tenth child of Daniel Hudson (1), was born in Lancaster, Massachusetts. March 15, 1671. He settled first about 1718 on land granted by virtue of the right of his father, Good- man Hudson. But it seems that he was not a permanent settler of Lancaster, for in 1709 "Na- thaniel Hudson of Billerica, formerly of Lancaster," conveyed land in Lincoln, Massachusetts, to Mr. Buss. His children were baptized in Lexington. The Marlboro historian Hudson writing some years ago said there was a lack of records to show the names of his children. "The whole Hudson fam- ily," he said, "appears to have been men of arms, rather than letters and their record is traced quite as easily on army rolls as on town books." There is no record of the marriage or death of Nathaniel (1). He had other children we know besides those named below, for two of them were mentioned above as victims of an Indian raid in 1697. The follow- ing children of Nathaniel Hudson are named in the Marlboro history: Seth, Nathaniel, Abigail; the three preceding were baptized at Lexington, April 22, 1705: John. born 1713, died at Berlin, Massachusetts, August 17, 1799. The descendants of Nathaniel for whom the town of Hudson, Massa- chusetts, was named follow nearly the same line as that which we are tracing for Mr. Hudson, of Fitchburg.

(III) John Hudson, son of Nathaniel Hudson (2), was born in Lancaster, Massachusetts, probably in 1713, and died in Berlin, Massachusetts, in the same vicinity, August 6, 1799. He married Eliza- beth McAllister, of Northboro. Massachusetts; she died May 16, 1786, aged sixty-six years. He mar- ried (second), March 28, 1787, Bethia Wood, who survived him. He settled first in Marlboro and after- wards at Berlin, Massachusetts. He served under Captain Samuel Howe in the expedition to Crown Point in 1755. He was also one of the aların men attached to Colonel Abraham Williams' company in March, 1757. IIe was likewise in the service at the beginning of the revolution. He and two of his sons were in active service in the French war; he and eight of his sons fought in the revolution. He was in Captain Samuel Woods' company, Colonel Jonathan Ward's regiment.
