SYLVESTER, SILVESTER. This name appears to be of French origin, and in the French language, sylvestre signifies a tree, whence the coat of arms represents an oak tree in the shield, being a parlant, or speaking coat, descriptive of the name. We find the family sett. in Eng. not long after the Conquest, and the an cestor probably went over in the army of William, in 1069. Ste- phen Silvestre, is named by Fuller, among the gentry of Norfolk.1 Gabriel Sylvester, D.D., was Prebend of Weeford, Litchf'd., in 1506 ;2 and in 1538, Robert, was Archd'n. of Langtoft, York ;3 Preb. of York, 1541;4 and Archd'n. of Nottingham, 1549.5 The family is highly respectable in the old country, and is numerously represented in the U. States.
The first of the name in N. Eng., was Richard, who was of Wey'h., 1633, and of Scit., 1642, and sett. on the "Two Miles." The year in which he came over, and the name of the vessel in which he embarked, we have not been able to learn. Settlements were made at Wey'h., in 1619, 1624, and 1625. He prob. came in the company with Rev. Robert Lenthal, minister of Wey'h., and the cause of his coming to Scit., was on acc't. of difficulties, arising from his religious opinions.6 He m. Naomi

2. Capt. Joseph, s. Rich'd., lived where Sam'l. Waterman's house stands, in So. Scit., near Church Hill, and improved the farm wh. he purchased of Jno. Whiston, 1664. We have given some sketch of his life on p. 22. As a reward for his services in the Indian wars, a grant of land was made to him and his com- pany, by the Gen'l. Court, which was designed to have been in Maine, but which, when the line was run between the Provinces, proved to be in N. Hampshire ; and on a repres'n. of these facts by Chas. Turner, and others, agents for the claimants, in 1765, a new grant was made in Me., on condition that 30 families and a minister should be sett., and a meeting-house built, within six y'rs. ; and this is now known as the town of Turner, Me,1 His ch., by w.
