CHANDLER .- CHURCH.
Grace, and Ds. Elizabeth and Susanna. Many of the name are still living in Plymouth and other parts of the old Colony .- [See Carver, p. 130.]
CHANDLER .- Edmund Chandler was one of the original proprietors of Bridgewater, an inhabitant of Duxbury of course, before 1650. We have no particular account of him or his family. Those bearing the name, and probably his descendants, have been and still are numerous in the old Colony, and other parts of the country .- [See Chandler, p. 137.]
CHURCH .- Richard Church came over 1630, then æ. 22 ; propounded in Mass., where he first arrived, probably, 1630, and made freeman in Plymouth 1632 ; lived at Eel River in Ply- mouth till 1649, when he sold out and went first to Eastham, probably 1649, and then to Hingham, where he had a D. Debo- rah b. 1657, and d. at Dedham, Dec. 27. 1668 ; but was buried at Hingham ; his will dated at Hingham 1668; was a Carpen- ter ; a volunteer against the Pequoits 1637, called "Sergeant Church;" made the gun carriages; he, with John Thompson, built the first meeting house in Plymouth a. 1637 ; m. Elizabeth, D. of Richard Warren, a. 1635 ; she d. a wid. at Hingham 1670 ; he had Elizabeth, Benjamin 1639, Richard*, Joseph, Nathaniel, Caleb, Abigail 1648, and Deborah 1657. It is doubtful if he ever lived, or was really settled, at Eastham or Dedham. Being a Carpenter, and of some repute in his calling, he was doubtless employed much abroad, and at these places among others ; he had early friends at Watertown and Charlestown, some of whom perhaps came over with him. Elizabeth m. Caleb Hobart at Hingham 1657, and died 1659 .- Abigail m. Samuel Thaxter at Hingham 1666, and d. Dec. 1677 .- Deborah m. John Irish, Jr., perhaps of Little Compton .- The father gave Joseph, whom he made Executor of his will, a double portion on account of the "lameness of his hand."
2. Col. Benjamin (s. of the above) the famous warrior, was born in Plymouth ; was of his father's occupation, a carpenter ; m. Alice, D. of Constant Southworth of Duxbury, 1667, where he also settled, and thence removed to Saconet, Little Compton, about 1667, and was a magistrate for Saconet and Pocasset, which places included Little Compton and Tiverton ; appeared also among the first freemen of Bristol 1681, and was a Select- man and Deputy from Bristol in 1682, and d. January 7, 1718, æ. 79, and was buried at Little Compton. He had Thomas (editor of his father's life), Constant (a captain under his father) Benjamin, a bachelor, Edward (whose only s. was Dea. Benja.), Charles, who had a numerous family, and an only D. who m. a Rothbotham of Newport. His historians and descendants have erroneously said he was born at Duxbury; knowing he went from thence to Saconet, they supposed he was of course born

there ; but he was born at Plymouth, and was ten years old be- fore his father with his family removed ; his sister Abigail was born in Plymouth nine years after him.
3. Joseph (s. of Richard r) lived in Hingham, his wife Mary, they were m. about 1665, and had Mary 1666, John 1668, Alice 1670, Benjamin 1672, Sarah 1673, William 1675, Deborah 1677, all born at Hingham ; he then removed to Little Compton, and was made freeman there 1682 ; was Ensign and Deputy there, and had other children probably; was one of the County Asso- ciates for Bristol Co. 1691 ; was also a carpenter; he and his wife Mary are mentioned on the records there 1686; she was no doubt from Hingham. His will 1711 mentioned Joseph, John, Eliza Blackman, Mary Wood, Deborah Gray, and Abigail Sim- mons ; some of these were born probably after he left Hingham. It has been erroneously stated by Deane in his history of Scit- uate, and by others, that Joseph was the father of Col. Benja- min, but this is only another of the traditional errors respecting this family.
4. Nathaniel (s. of Richard 1) settled at Scituate; was a carpenter, which seems to have been the family calling ; he m. Sarah Barstow, and had Abigail 1666, Richard 1668, Nathaniel 1670, Alice 1679, Joseph 1681, Charles 1683, Sarah 1686; he died intestate before 1700. Abigail m. Nathaniel Harlow .- Richard and his wife Mary had Richard and two Ds .; one of them, Hannah, m. Josiah Sturtevant, and was grandmother of the late Josiah Cotton Esq. and Dr. Rosseter Cotton .- Nathan- iel had Nathaniel 1698, Joseph 1709, and Caleb 1712 at Scituate. Joseph and Charles settled in Plymouth, and Joseph died there 1707, leaving a D. Judith, wife of Isaac Little. Charles after. wards went to Freetown and died there, called Captain 1729 .- Sarah m. John Holmes .- Richard and Joseph were both dead before the estate was finally settled .- Nathaniel 3d m. Jerusha Perry 1719, and had Thomas and Lemuel 1742, and 13 others. Thomas Church m. Huldah, D. of Aaron Soule .- Thomas, son of Thomas, was a revolutionary soldier, and died 1830 .- Capt. Cornelius was son of Lemuel .- Caleb m. Sarah Williamson 1735, and lived probably in Marshfield. Ruth Church m. Con- sider Howland 1795.
Deane's doubt as to the father of Nathaniel is groundless, as Richard of Hingham and Richard of Plymouth, whom he sup- posed to be distinct men, were one and the same man.
5. Caleb (s. of Richard 1) m. Joanna, D. of William Sprague in Hingham, 1667, and had Hannah 1668, and Ruth 1670; he was named of Dedham 1672, and was living in Watertown 1690. [Farmer in his Register says he had Joseph, Caleb, and Benja- min, but query.]

CLARK .- COLLIER.
6. Dea. Benjamin (s. of Edward, and g. s. of Col. Benj. 2) gra. H. U. 1727, was Deacon of Dr. Mather Byle's Church in Boston, and author of a biography of his grandfather, the Col. 1772, in which he erroneously calls the Colonel's father Joseph and his parents "of Duxbury; " the Deacon's son Benjamin gra. H. U. 1754, and was the famous Dr. Benjamin Church of Revolutionary distinction ; another son, Edward, gra. H. U. 1759, was a Consul, and d. abroad; and a D. Abigail is said to have m. Turner Phillips of Boston.
Col. Peter Church died in Bristol a. 1821, æ. a. 80 .- Samuel Church also died there, perhaps the gra. of H. U. 1778 .- Rev. Nathan Church was of Bridgton, Me. 1799 .- Rev. Aaron Church d. in Hartford, Conn., 1823, æ. 77, b. in Springfield 1744, was in the ministry 41 years .- Capt. Joseph Church died at Fairhaven 1839, æ. 87 .- Gamaliel Church, Esq., Representative from West- port 1839 and 1840.
Many of this name, descendants no doubt of Richard, still reside in the old Colony, and have spread extensively over New England.
CLARK .- William Clark was one of the original proprietors of Bridgewater, but we have no further account of him or of his family. There are many of this name in various parts of the county, and it is a very common name throughout the country. Richard Clark came over to Plymouth in the May Flower 1620, and d. before spring, and there is no further notice of him, or of any family left by him .- Thomas Clark came in the Ann 1623, and m. Susanna, D. of wid. Mary Ring before 1631, and died at Plymouth, March 24, 1697, æ. 97, according to the grave-stone and the records of the town, but by his deposition given 1664, stating himself then to be only 59, he was only 92 at his death. It has been supposed he was mate of the May Flower, having gone back to Eng. and returned to Plymouth again in 1623, but this is not certain. He had William, James, Nathaniel (the Secretary), Andrew, and Susanna, who m. Barnabas Lothrop, Esq. of Barnstable 1658 .- Thomas Clark of Plymouth m. wid. Alice Nichols of Boston 1664 ; she was D. of Richard Hallett. William Clark's house (a garrison house) was burnt in Plymouth by the Indians 1676, on the Sabbath, and 11 persons killed .- John (g. s. of Thomas) d. in Plymouth 1712, and had John, Joseph, and James .- Trustum Clark was in Plymouth 1634, and d. in Duxbury 1661, and had Trustum and Henry .- Isaac, son of Joseph, went to Hardwick .- Whether William, whose house was burnt, was the proprietor of Bridgewater, is not known, if he was he must have lived in Duxbury before 1650.
COLLIER .- William Collier was an original proprietor, a merchant adventurer, and came over about 1633 ; he settled in Duxbury, and was an Assistant many years, and d. 1670; he

All of the Cushings in this vicinity, and in the State perhaps, descended from Matthew.
4. Daniel, Esq. (s. of Matthew) was the 3d Town Clerk of Hingham, and left manuscripts, from which much information respecting Hingham and its early settlers has been derived : he m. Lydia, D. of Edward Gilman (ancestor of all the Gilmans), June 19th, 1645, and had Peter 1646, Daniel 1648, Deborah 1651, Jeremiah 1654, Theophilus 1657, Matthew 1660. She d. 1689, and he m.
