Sev- eral of the early settlers of Scit. came in the same vessel, among whom were elder Thos. King, Gilbert and Wm. Brooks, and Mr. Wm. Vassall.

late residence of Jesse Dunbar, Esq. He also owned a large, tract of land, purchased of Abraham Sutliffe, near "Stockbridge's mill-pond," so called, on the north and east. In 1656, he pur- chased half the mill privilege of George Russell, with the saw- mill, which Isaac Stedman had erected ten years before, and built a grist-mill, in partnership with Mr. Russell. In the same year, probably, he built the Stockbridge Mansion House, which was a garrison in Philip's War. This venerable building was torn down a few years since, and in some of its timbers, were found bullets, fired at the inmates by the Indians. The will of the fa. is dated at Boston, in 1657, and in it he gives, " To eld- est son Chas., my water-mill, at Scit., house, ground, and orchard belonging to it, he paying to his sis. Elizab. £10, &c. To wife Mary, house and land at Bos'n., and the house in wh. Gilbert Brooks lives, at Scit., with the land adjoining; the same to be for her use through life, and then to belong to s. Jno., in case he survives his mo., he giving to his sis. Mary £10 ;- if he should not survive, the same to be equally divided among the rest of the ch. To da. Hester, the house in wh. Wm.

being at Studley Park, near which are the ruins of the celebrated Fountains Abbey, a famous place of resort for travellers, each one of whom is entitled, to " meat by measure, (a quarter of a yard of roast beef for dinner ) and a great black jack of strong drink," on calling for the same.1 We find two families in N. Eng. at an early date, one in Boston, and the other in Sandwich. A branch of each of these sett. in Scit., and have desct's. in H. We shall trace these separately.
I. Jno. Studley, and w. Elizab., were in Bos'n., in 1659, but when they came to the city, or how long they remained, we cannot say. Their s. Jno., was b. in Bos'n., Dec. 8, 1659 ; and their son Benj., was b. in B., May 23, 1661. This is all the notice we find on any of the records in B. The latter son, Benj., seems to have been in Scit., in 1683, m. Mary, da. Jno. Merritt, and sett. near Merritt's brook, a few rods S. E. of the bridge. ch. : 1. Jno., Dec. 11, 1684. 2. Benj., Dec. 7, 1687. 3. Jas., July 15. 1690, m. Sarah Farrow, of H'm., 1717, and had Sarah, 1718 ; Jas., 1720 ; and Elizab., 1725. 4. Jona., June, 19, 1693. 5. Da- vid, Jan. 19, 1696-7, m.

NOTE : We think it highly probable, that Benj. Studley, who was in H'm, in 1724, m. Susanna, da. Eben'r. Lane, Dec. 31, 1724, and had Hannah, 1725; Sarah, 1727; Ruth, 1729 ; Lois and Eunice, 1731 ; Jona., 1734 ; d. young ; Rhoda, 1735 ; Irania, 1737; and Jona., 1728 ;- was a desc't. of Benj. of Scit., and prob. his son, as he is called "s. of Benj." We think it also probable, that most of this name, in H'm. and Cohas't., sprung from Jno. of Boston.
