ham Hospital. Dr. Benner stands high pro- fessionally and socially. He attends Grace Congregational Church. * In politics he is a Republican.

Richard and Samuel Childs, CHILDS brothers, with their families, including Richard Childs, a youth of fifteen years, and probably sev- eral younger children came to Plymouth Colony from England and took up com- mon land on Cape Cod, which land on March 5, 1638, soon after their arrival, was included in the proposed town of Barnstable. From these immigrants of the name which was indiscriminately spelled Child and Childs the family of both names in New England sprung. Richard Child, born in 1624, was presumably the son of Richard, but some as the family records name him son of Samuel. Naming both as of the first gen- eration we take the name of Richard as representing the second generation from which Edwin Otis Childs of the ninth gener- ation descended.

(II) Richard Child, son of Richard or Samuel Childs, was born in England in 1624 and came with his father and uncle to New England about 1638, and settled with them at Barnstable where both father and uncle were made freemen and took part in the gov- ernment of the town. On October 15, 1648, Richard Child, then twenty-four years old, married Mary Linnell, daughter of Robert Lin- nell, also a resident of Barnstable. They had children including an eldest son who was given, as was the family custom of the time, the name of his father.

(III) Richard Child, son of Richard and Mary (Linnell) Child, was born in Barnstable,

Plymouth Colony, in March, 1653, and was brought up under the strictest Puritan disci- pline and became prominent in the affairs of the church, and was known as Deacon Rich- ard, both to distinguish him from his father and to acknowledge his standing in the first church of Barnstable. He was married to Elizabeth, daughter of John Crocker and Mary Bodfish. Elizabeth Crocker was born October 7, 1660, and died January 15, 1716. After her death Deacon Richard married as his second wife Hanna The eleven children of Deacon Richard and Elizabeth (Crocker) Child were, named in the order of their birth as preserved in the records of the church in Barnstable: I. Samuel, 1679. 2. Elizabeth, 1681. 3. Thomas, 1682. 4. Hannah, 1684. 5. Timothy, 1686. 6. Eben- ezer, 1692. 7. Elizabeth, 1692. 8. James, 1694. 9. Mercy, 1697. 10. Joseph, 1699. II. Thankful, 1702.
