Leverett res. on the northerly side of Harvard Street, nearly opposite to Holyoke Street, which was the former residence of Hooker, Shepard, and Mitchell, and afterwards of the Professors Wigglesworth; con- nected with his homestead were about seven acres of land, now the property of Harvard College.

He was appointed Constable by the General Court, May 1632; and, at the same session, it was " ordered that there should be two of every Plantation appointed to confer with the Court about raising of a public stock; Mr. Lockwood and Mr. Spencer for New Town." He died before 3 March 1634-5, when the Court " Ordered, that Ruth Lockwood, widow, slrall bring all the writings that her husband left in her hands to John Haynes, Esq., and Simon Bradstreete, on the third day of the next week, who shall detain the same in their hands till the next Court, when they shall be disposed of to those to whom they belong." It is not improbable that Mr. Lockwood removed to Wat. before his death, or that his widow removed there iminedi- ately afterwards ; for by an order of Court 7 Ap. 1635, " It is referred to the Church of Watertown, with the consent of Robert Lockwood, executor of Edmund Lockwood dec. to dispose of the children and estate of the said Ed- mund Lock wood (given to them), to such persons as they think meet," etc. Of these children, only one name appears on the record of births, viz. John, b. Nov. 1632.
2. ROBERT, prob. brother of Edmund (1), res. in Wat. and by w. Susan had Jonathan, b. 10 Sept. 1634; Deborah, b. 12 Oct. 1636; Joseph, b. 6 Aug. 1638; Daniel, b. 21 Mar. 1640; Ephraim, b. 1 Dec. 1641 ; Gershom, b. 6 Sept. 1643. Hinman says ROBERT the f. removed to Norwalk, Conn., as early as 1649.
LONGHORN, THOMAS (otherwise written Longhorne and Langhorne), was a butcher and the town drummer. In 1652 he purchased the homestead pre- viously owned by Simon Crosby, at the southerly corner of Brattle Street and Brattle Square, where he probably resided during the remainder of his life. He m. Sarah, dau. of Bartholomew Green, about 1646, and had Thomas, b. 26 Aug. 1647, bur. 5 Ap. 1648; Sarah, b. 26 Feb. 1648-9; Elizabeth, b.

LORD, THOMAS. His name does not appear on our Records. But Hinman says he " came to Hartford from Cambridge, Mass., in 1636, . ... and was in the division of lands at Hartford in 1639. His children were Thomas [a surgeon ], Richard, William, Dorothy, Robert, John, and Amy. He is the an- eestor of the Lord family of the State."
2. RICHARD, perhaps s. of Thomas (1), in 1635 owned "one shop, with garden plot, about half a rood," at the N. E. eorner of Brighton and Mount Auburn streets. He rem. to Hartford, where he was Constable in 1642, and Seleetman in 1744. " He was a man of great energy, and an original settler. In 1657, he was appointed Captain of the first troop of horse ever raised in the Colony. . ... After several years spent in Hartford he removed to New London, where he died." - Hinman.
LOWDEN, JOHN, m. Sarah Stevenson 29 May 1682.
LUXFORD, JAMES, was an early inhabitant, and res. on the westerly side of Holyoke Street, on a lot which he sold to Mrs. Glover in 1639, and which beeame the site of the famous Old School-house. By his w. Elizabetlı, he had Elizabeth, b. Sept. 1637, living in 1658; Reuben, b. Feb. 1639-40. It would seem that Luxford left a wife in England, and during her life-time iniqui- tously contraeted a second marriage here. The General Court, being in- formed of the faet shortly before the second ehild was born, took measures to punish the guilty and proteet and partially indemnify the innocent. Under date of 3 Dee. 1639, it is recorded that "James Luxford being presented for having two wives, his last marriage was deelared void or a nullity thereof, and to be divoreed, not to come to the sight of her whom he last took, and he to be sent away for England by the first opportunity; all that he hath is ap- pointed to her whom he last married, for her and her children. He is also fined £100, and to be set in the stoeks an hour upon a market day, after the lecture the next lecture day if the weather permit; or else the next leeture day after." Soon afterwards, he appears to have been convicted of other erimes ; for 13 May 1640, " James Luxford, for his forgery, lying, and other foul offenees, was eensured to be bound to the whipping post till the leeture from the first bell, and after the leeture to have his ears eut off ; and so he had lib- erty to depart out of our jurisdiction." Very probably he availed himself of the liberty granted, and with mutilated ears departed from the jurisdiction of those rulers who were a terror to evil doers. I find no trace of him here afterwards.1 His wife remained here, was a member of the Church, and a recipient of its bounty. Her name appears on the records as sister Albon, Albone, or Olbon I conjecture that her name before marriage was Olbon or Albone ; that she resumed it for herself and her children when her inarriage was annulled by the Court; and that, at some period subsequent to 1645 (when she is ealled sister Albone), she m. - Cole (perhaps the father of Arthur Cole), and died before 1668. This conjecture is partly founded on the fragment of a Church Record commeneed by Rev. Mr. Mitehell, who d. in 1668. Under the name of Jolin Fezington (Fessenden) he says: " In his family is Reuben Luxford, alias Olbon, who, together with his sister Elizabeth, were baptized in this ehureh, being the children of our Sister Olbon (lately Cole), now deceased." The original Record was thus written ; but subse- quently the words- " Luxford alias " - were erased.
