WYMAN. This important Woburn family. living near the Billerica ling. often appears incidentally in our records, but has rarely furnished inhabitants. The brothers John and Francis were among the first settlers of Woburn. They purchased of President Dunster. of Harvard College. his Shawshin grant of 500 acres. The deed bears date, 1655, May 10, or a few days before Shawshin became Billerica, and describes the land: - 500 acres, lying scituate at Shawshinn, betwixt the lands of Capt. Gookin up the streame and the lands lately given to Edward Collins down the streame of Shawshinn river, bounded with Woburne line on that end which towards Woburne is sided. and reaching onwards towards the township so far as to make up due measure." The price paid was £100. Collins' grant. below. extended to the Woburn road, and was sold to Champney; and Gookin's farm. above, was about Vine brook and mostly in Bedford. Stephen Richardson. 2, who first appears as occupant of these lands, was a gr .- son of Framei. Wyman, and probably inherited a part of all of it. Questions about the taxation of the Wymans arose between Woburn and Billerica, and in October, 1669. the matter came before the General Court. and a

committee advised: "Whereas. Frances & John Weymans, Senrs., have their present habitacions neere the Lyne * and enioying much of yr lively hood and benefit at both Towns, and may partake of the publiek ordinances in both places. they, the said Weymans. shall contribute equally to both Towns, in all public charges, both civell and eclisiasticall." This report was accepted and confirmed by the Court, but did not terminate the difficulty. In 1672, the Wymans petition for release from Billerica, and Billerica instructs the selectmen to prosecute them for not paying their dues; but the result was against the claims of this town. Two daughters of John Wyman m. Joseph Walker, 1, and Nathaniel Tay. 2; and a dau. of Francis in. Nathaniel Bacon. 3. Seth Wyman, a son of John, was the father of Seth. famous for the honorable part he bore in the Lovewell expedition. ( See Ross, Thomas, 3.)

FAMILY NAMES.
FAMILY NAMES OCCURRING IN BILLERICA BEFORE 1700.
The following list gives the name of the first settler, bearing the name. and the date of his first known residence in town. In a few cases. notably those of Brown. Foster, and Parker, the line has not been continuous. Of the eighty-three families of the 17th century, the following are now repre- sented in town by descendants who bear the name; Baldwin, Crosby, Farmer. Frost, Ilill. Kittredge, Manning, Patten. Richardson, Rogers, Shed, Stearns. and Whiting. The families of Danforth and Pollard have also female representatives. And if the inquiry be extended. as is proper. to the bounds of ancient Billerica, we may add the names of Bacon, Brown, Fitch. French, Kidder, Lane, Levistone, Marshall, Page. and Trull. With these additions, it appears that twenty-five families, or almost one in three remain, after two hundred years, in the ancient' bounds of the town.

CORNEAL. This record occurs. 1698-9, Jan. 3: "The town do grant to Peter Cornelious, a frenchman inhabiting among us. about fourteen acres of upland toward Jonathan ballding, and joining to piece of upland of Sergt John Marshall, and a division of meadow of his"; for which land he was to pay the town five shillings per acre.
CROSBY. 5. Josiah, was. I think, the lieutenant and captain of that name in the Louisburg expedition, 1745. It is clear from the records that this military officer could not have been the son (Josiah, 14) who died in town about 1743. but was not, as the text suggests. " killed by the Indians." and his son Josiah was only fourteen years old in 1745. But the first Josiah. 5, had been long known in the Records as "Sergeant," and thus. if he did go to the war. would be likely to have a commission; and. although he describes himself as feeble, in his will, in 1743. he may have recovered from an illness, and yielded, at sixty-seven. to the impulses of his military career and the call of Pepperell, and gone to hardships and perils which proved fatal to the veteran.
