1713, when his son, Robert, then of Harwich, sold and conveyed to Seth Taylor of Yarmouth 20 acres of his late father's property in Chatham." This son was living in Harwich as late as October, 1724, when he appealed from a judgment against him in favor of John Mayo of Har- wich,72 but he is not found in a list made in 1726 of the families in that town having children of school age.78
Tristram Hedges was married in Boston December 20, 1657, to Ann, daughter of William and Anne (Busby) Nickerson, by Gov. Endicott. He removed to Yarmouth and thence to Monomoit. His land troubles there have been related already. Ilis farm at the latter place, which he received from his father-in-law by deed dated February 24, 1673-4, comprised the whole of Ragged Neck at West Chatham except 10 acres of meadow on the north side of the neck belonging. to Robert Nickerson. This neck is described in the deed to him as bounded "northerly upon a Creek that is ye bounds between John Downing meadow & his ye sd Trustrum Hedges; and from ye head of ye Creek it Rang westerly viz it is bounded with stakes & marked trees to a pine tree that is marked on ye four sides that was to shew ye bounds between Robert Nickerson's meadow & Robert Eldred meadow and from Robert Nicker- son's meadow ye bounds of ye neck is ye Main Creek which is ye westermost bounds & ye Southermost bound is ye Beach & ye easter bound is ye River that come into yo oyster pond.

Mr. Hedges also had woodland on the Great Hill extend- ing over to Emery's pond By deed dated September 14, 1694, he conveyed to his son-in-law Samuel Eldredge and his daughter Elizabeth, wife of Samuel, a parcel of upland and meadow on the westerly side of this neck adjoining Buck's Creek. 75 At the March term 1710 his recognizance to appear and give evidence in the case of William and Ruhamah Nickerson was forfeited and at the March term 1711, judgment of 30 lbs. for the forfeiture was awarded against him.76 It is not known when he or his wife died. There is no settlement of his estate. The family must not be confounded with the Hedge family of Yarmouth. 77
Samuel Nickerson, son of William and Anne (Busby) Nickerson, born in New England, married Mary, daughter of John Bell of Yarmouth, about 1660.78 Bell lived in the southeast part of Old Yarmouth on the West side of Her- ring river (now West Harwich). Removing to Monomoit, Nickerson built and settled on the south side of Crow's pond between it and Ryder's Cove (Alewife river) and near Nathaniel Covell. He received from his father a deed of the farm he occupied dated Feb. 12, 1673-4.79 He also had

The statement in the petition of William Merrick (State Archives Vol. 113, 351) that Nickerson signed a petition in 1694 for the incorpora- tion of Harwich, is not correct, as an inspection of the original petition (State Archives Vol. 113, 59) will show. He was then of Monomoit. He bought more land near Coy's Brook in August, 1717. Administration on his estate was granted to his widow Mary on Sept. 3, 1719.81
John Nickerson, son of William and Anne (Busby) Nickerson, married Sarah, daughter of Thomas and Eliza- beth (Tart) Williams of Eastham. 82 He settled and built his house on an irregular lot of land, lying between the White pond and Black pond on the south, and Emery's pond on the north. He had six acres at the Oyster Pond furlong, twenty acres on Stage Neck, and ten acres of meadow at Seaquanset or Buck's Creek, all by deed from ont their Hay or Wood, and not to trespass one the other, and Easterly his land bnt upon Nath'l Covel's ditch and range Northerly upon a straight line to the Harbour and there are Trees marked upon the line between Nath'I Covel & Sam'l Nickerson, and his land range from thence Westerly by the Harbour to a way that I have set out for a landing place for to come to the Harbour for to fetch any Goods that is landed there, without Trespassing upon him."

Nathaniel Covell, saddler, was the son of Nathaniel Covell of Chelmsford, Essex Co., England. His father dying while he was yet a youth, he agreed in April, 1653, with Mr. Edward Winslow of Marshfield, who was then in England, to serve him, according to the custom of the time, from that date until seven years after his arrival in New England, receiving therefor his passage over, his support and ten pounds in goods and commodities, 13 bushels of Indian corn and "good double apparel " at the end of his time. He arrived at Boston August 26, 1653, and was soon after assigned by Mr. Winslow to his step-son, Peregrine White of Marshfield. 88 Young Covell accordingly served his time in the employ of the first white man born in New England. He came to Yarmouth soon after the expiration of his service, where he married Sarah, youngest danghter of William and Anne (Busby) Nickerson, some time be- tween January 15, 1662, and July 4, 1663.89 Ile removed to Monomoit a year or two after this marriage. His connection with the land troubles there has already been stated. By decd dated February 11, 1673-4, his wife received from her father 40 acres of upland and 10 acres of meadow at Monomoit. On this the family lived. The house and upland were located on the south side of Crow's pond, between it and Ryder's Cove, then called Alewife or Her- ring River. There were six acres of woodland at the Oyster Pond furlong and the meadow land was at Muddy Cove.90 By deed dated April 14, 1677, Covell bought of

He died in middle life, probably before the winter of 1685-6, when Mrs. Covell received a deed from her father of all his property.92 There was no settlement of his estate. In 1687 Mrs. Covell, then called a widow, conveyed to her brother, William Nickerson, Jr., one-half of all the real estate she had received from her father, except the home farm of the latter.93 She and her brother, therefore, became co-owners of all the undivided and unpurchased lands at Monomoit. By deed dated October 6, 1693, they conveyed one-third interest in these lands to Samuel Sprague of Marshfield, former secretary of
Plymouth Colony. 94 She retained one-third interest in these lands and her ownership of her father's home farm till 1699, when she apparently divided her property among

William Nickerson, son of William and Anne ( Busby) Nickerson, was baptized at Barnstable June 1, 1646, and married Mercy, daughter of Thomas and Elizabeth (Tart) Williams, sister of the wife of his brother John.9% It is uncertain where he first settled at Monomoit. Before 1677 he was the owner of a piece of upland lying east of the Great Hill, between the highway and Frostfish Creek, bounded south on land of Nathaniel Covell and of another piece lying southwest from the head of Ryder's Cove on the south side of land of JJohn Savage. 99 His house may have been on the latter tract. He was a soldier in King Philip's war, under Capt. Henry Gold, entering the service in the latter part of the contest, (E. W. Pierce, Historical Sketches, &c) and not Robert Nickerson, as stated in Bodge, King Philip's War 420, 424. He was grand- juryman in 1681 and constable in 1683. By deed of December 2, 1687, he received title from his father and sister Sarah Covell to one-half of all the un- divided and unpurchased lands at Monomoit and full

By deed dated August 29, 1689, he bought a tract at Cotchpinicut (Old Harbor) where he built a house and resided for some time.100 He took the oath of a freeman June 24, 1690, and soon after was appointed inspector of whales.101 On December 5, 1692, John Freeman and Jonathan Sparrow of Eastham laid out to him and Sarah Covell the bounds of the un- purchased lands to which they were entitled.102 By deed dated October 6, 1693, he and his sister conveyed to Samuel Sprague one-third interest in their undivided and unpurchased lands.108 By deed dated June 27, 1694, he bought, in company with Samuel Smith, of John Quason, Jr., another tract at or near Cotchpinicut. 104 On October 12, 1702, he joined with Sprague and others in conveying to Michael Stuard a large tract of undivided land at West Chatham. 105 On the following day he conveyed Monames- set Neck and some other property to his son William Jr.196 On July 11, 1706, he joined with his wife in con- veying to his son Thomas the land at Cotchpinient which she had obtained by assignment and foreclosure of a mort- gage given to Samuel Smith by the Indians.197 On Feb- ruary 23, 1709-10, he conveyed to his four sons certain tracts of undivided land.10% He was the first clerk and treasurer of the village, serving as clerk 15 years and treasurer six years. He was selectman six years. He appears to have disposed of his farm at Old Harbor before 1699 and was then living on a farm lying west or northwest of Lord's pond in the Stephen Smith neighborhood. 109 By

Although he was clerk of the village many years, he never recorded his own family and but few outside of it. Letters testamentary were granted on his estate to his widow Mercy April 7, 1719. She sur- vived her husband twenty years, dying April 7, 1739, at a great age, and leaving many descendants. 114
Joseph Nickerson, youngest son of William and Anne (Busby) Nickerson, was born at Yarmouth in December, 1647, and married Ruhamah, whose parentage is not known. She is first mentioned as his wife in the Colony records under date of March 5, 1677-8. His farm of forty acres of upland, which he received from his father by deed dated February 10, 1673-4, was located on Pleasant bay just west of Crow's pond. It bounded cast on Monamesset Neck.

He then, in or about 1697, pur- chased a farm of fifty acres on the West side of Muddy Cove adjoining the Monomoit line, but within the limits of Harwich. This farm was deeded to him by Mr. Barnabas Lothrop of Barnstable, who bought it of the Indian pro- prietor, Popamosset Cowet, or his successors. 116 Mr. Nickerson, although occupying the farm, still considered himself as of Monomoit. Attempts were made to secure its annexation to Monomoit.
