The preceding account contains notices, quite imperfect in- deed, of but a part of this very numerous and respectable family.
CUSHMAN .- Robert Cushman was among the Plymouth pilgrims ; he sat sail from England in the ship called the Speed- well in company with the May Flower in 1620, but by reason of leakage the ship put back, and he came the next year, 1621, in the ship Fortune ; he remained here but about one month, when he returned to England and d. a. 1625 or 1626 ; his family came after his death, and his descendants are now numerous in the country. He was author of the primitive lay Sermon.
Thomas (s. of the above) born 1607, lived in Governor Brad- ford's family, having been left there by his father when he sailed for Eng .; m. Mary, D. of Isaac Allerton ; he d. 1691 ; she 1699 ; he had Thomas, Isaac 1649, Elkanah, Eleazar, Sarah, and Lydia. Isaac was the first minister of Plympton, and d. 1732 .- Sarah m. a Mr. Hook .- Lydia m. a Mr. Harlow.
DELANO .- Philip Delano came over in the second ship, the Fortune, 1621, was in Duxbury between 1645 and 1650, and one of the original proprietors of Bridgewater, and sold his share to Nicholas Byram. The name on the early records was sometimes written De la Noye, hence he was supposed to be of French ori- gin, and one of the French protestants who attached himself to the pilgrims at Leyden, and came over with them. He m. Hes- ter Dewsberry, and had Samuel, Thomas, and John, and was probably ancestor of the numerous families of the name still residing at Duxbury, and other towns both in the counties of Plymouth and Bristol, as well as in other parts of the country.
EATON .- Samuel Eaton was one of the original proprietors of Bridgewater, was no doubt son of Francis Eaton, who came over in the May Flower 1620, whose wife was Christian, and whose children were in 1627 Samuel and Rachel. Samuel set- tled probably in Duxbury ; he must have been there between

FAUNCE .- HOBART.
1645 and 1650 .- Francis had afterwards other children doubt- less, and his descendants are still in Middleborough and various other towns and sections of the country.
FAUNCE .- John and Manasseh Faunce arrived at Plymouth in the third ship, the Ann, in 1623. We have met with no fur- ther notice of Manasseh.
John Faunce m. Patience, D. of George Morton, and had Thomas 1646, and Priscilla, and perhaps others. Priscilla m. Joseph Warren about 1650 .- Mary Faunce m. William Harlow 1658 .- Mercy Faunce m. Nathaniel Holmes 1662 .- These two might also have been Ds. of John.
Thomas (s. of the above) was the distinguished Elder of Ply- mouth Church, and d. 1745 very aged ; he had Patience 1673, John 1678, Martha 1680. Many descendants of these respecta- ble ancestors are remaining in different parts of the County.
FORD .- William Ford was one of the original proprietors of Bridgewater ; was son no doubt of wid. Ford, who arrived in the Fortune 1621 with three children, viz: William, Martha, and John ; and it is said she had a son born the day the ship arrived ; how long had she been a widow? William Ford sen'r. on the military roll at Marshfield 1643, d. 1676, æ. 72 ; his wid. Anna ; his children were William, Michael, Margaret, and Milicent ; one of them wife of John Carver; his grand children were John, and William Ford, and John Carver .- Martha, D. of wid. Ford, m. W'm. Nelson 1640 .- William Ford, the proprietor of Bridge- water, whoever he was, must have been in Duxbury between 1645 and 1650. The name is still common in Marshfield, Ab- ington, and other parts of the County.
HALL .- Edward Hall, one of the original proprietors of Bridgewater, was of course an inhabitant of Duxbury before 1650. We have no particular account of him or his family .- Joseph Hall of Yarmouth m. wid. Mary Morton, relict of John Morton ; she was a Faunce; Morton died of a grievous wound 1708. The name is still common in the old colony. There was an Edward Hall at Cambridge 1636.
HOBART .- Edmund Hobart with his wife and son Joshua, and Ds. Rebeckah and Sarah, and his servant Henry Gibbs, came from Hingham, Old England, and settled here in Hing- ham, New England, 1633 ; his ss. Edmund, Thomas, and Rev. Peter, also soon followed him, the two former the same year, and the last in 1635; they first lived in Charlestown, but when the Rev. Peter arrived with a number of his church, they soon began to explore the country, and went up a small river at the bottom of Boston Bay, now called Hingham Cove, where they found a few of their friends, whom they immediately joined, be- pleased with the situation, and at once concluded to settle there,

and called the place Hingham, from whence the Hobart family had all come excepting Thomas, who came from a place called Windham, near old Hingham ; he d. 1646, she 1649; her name not given. One of the Ds. m. a Beal, and a sister of Edmund sen'r. m. a Gilman (probably Edward). The Rev. Peter in his church records speaks of his father and mother Hobart, and David, son of Peter, who continued the records after his father Peter's death, mentions his great aunt Gilman, and the deaths of his uncle Edmund and Thomas (and their wives, calling them also his aunts), whence we are confirmed in the knowledge of their being sons of Edmund sen'r.

Joseph Bassett of Bridgewater 1677 .- Mary Hobart 1638 who m. John Hugh 1664 might also have been his D.

4. Rev. Peter (s. of Edmund 1) with his w. Rebeckah and 4 ch. came over in 1635, and settled in Hingham; he d. 1679, æ. 75 ; she in 1693, æ. 73; his will 1678, proved 1679; if this is correct he was 16 years the eldest; he speaks of his mother Ibrook's death 1664, it may be therefore that his w. was an Ibrook; he had Ichabod 1635* at Charlestown, Hannah 1637*,

bert, Deborah, Jane .- Nathaniel was lost in the steamboat Lex- ington 1840 .- [See Hobart p. 193.]
Sarah Cleverly, D. of Capt. John Hobart, d. in Boston 1696. There was a. Solomon Hobart born 1689 .- [See Thayer's family Memorial for a further account of the Hobart family.]
HOWLAND .- John Howland came over in the Ist ship 1620; his wife Elizabeth, D. of Gov. John Carver, and two children, John and Desire, came afterwards, 1627; he was one of the Governor's Assistants many years, and a very respectable and useful man in the infant colony ; he died 1672 at Rocky Nook, near Kingston, æ. a. 80, on which occasion it is recorded "that he was the last of the male survivors of those who came over in the May Flower in 1620, and whose place of abode was Ply- mouth." By not attending to the last words of this extract Farmer in his Appendix, as well as others, have been drawn into a seeming doubt. Howland was only the last of these pilgrims who lived and died in Plymouth. John Alden certainly in Dux- bury, and perhaps others of them out of Plymouth, survived Howland.

It is said he and Arthur Howland of Marshfield, 1643, were distinct families from John of Plymouth, and we have no very particular knowl- edge of their families ; their descendants are however no doubt among those of the name living in the lower towns in the county, and the name is common throughout the old colony. Deborah, D. of Arthur, m. John Smith of Plymouth 1648 .- Martha How- land m. John Damon of Scituate, his 2d w. 1659 .- A Collins of Lynn m. a Howland .- Consider Howland of Marshfield m.
