CARRIER, Thomas, "vulgarly called Morgan." was in town, 1674. "23, 4m. 1676. The Selectmen ordered the constable to give Notice to Thomas Carrier, alias Morgan, Welchman, that the town was not willing hee should abide here, as an inhabitant, and that he forthwith depart with his family, or give such security as shall be to the content of the Selectmen, on peril of 208, per week, while hee abide without leave, first had and obtained, wch is acording to an ancient towne order amongst us." Very worthy men received such notice from some towns in later days. In 1677, November, he was assigned "with his man, John Levistone," to brush cutting in the south-east part of the town, and he took the "oath of fidelity," with twenty-four inhabitants. 1677-8, Feb. 4. If he was, at first, in the the south-east part of the town, his later residence was just beyond North Billerica, west of the road "to Winthrop's farm," (see "Grants," Vol. 2, pps. 44 and 53,) and next to John Rogers. Between 1684-90, he removed to Andover, and there his wife became fatally involved in the witchcraft tragedy, as elsewhere related. The welcome he met in Andover was not more cordial than he had found in Billerica. In 1690. his home was smitten with the small-pox, and the Selectmen notified his friends that the town was not responsible for aid. "for they took care, when first they came, to warn them out," and a few months later, poor Martha Carrier had a more peremptory 'warning out' from the Magistrates of Massachusetts. at Salem. She might well say the world was unfriendly. Afterwards. he removed to Connecticut, and with his family was among the pioneers of Colchester. The following extract from the records of that town embodies interesting traditions of this remarkable man : " Thomas Carrier had belonged to the body-guard of Charles Ist, of Great Britain, and was notorious for fleetness of foot, even after he was more than 100 years old. It is said that he killed the King of England. If so, he must have been the executioner of Charles Ist, A. D. 1648. It is said by his descendants that he was 113 years of age at the time of his death in 1735. He used to walk from Colchester to Glastonbury, carrying a sack of corn on his shoulders to be ground, walking very fast, and stopping but once, for the whole distance of 18 miles." Families bearing the name still live in the vicinity. IIc m. 1674. May 7. Martha, dau. of Andrew and Faith Allen, of Andover, sister of Dr. Roger Toothaker's wife. Her sister Hannah m. James Holt, and another sister m. Samuel Holt, of Andover, and she had brothers Andrew and John. Several of the family died of the small-pox in 1692. She was executed on gallows hill, Salem, 1692. Aug. 19. He died in Colchester. 1735. May 16. Traditions of his age differ. The N. E. Journal soon after his death says that he was 109 years old, and that he was not gray or bald, walked erect, and shortly before his death walked six miles. (Savage). Ch. Richard, b. 1674. July 19; m. 1694, July 18, in Andover, Elizabeth Sessions, and had Elizabeth, b. 1695, June 18. JJohn, b. 1697.
