WINCH. [Elizabeth Winch, spinster, of Great Alhallows, London, in her will, made 1659, proved 1661, calls herself "bound for Virginia," and names her brothers Richard and John.] The special honor accorded to the Christian name John, by our Fram. families, indicates that it may have been the name of Samuel's father. Another clew to the antecedent history of this family is the fact that Jeremiah Pike, wife, and son, of Reading, came on a visit to Samuel Winch in 1694, and Winch's wife called the younger Pike "cousin ; " indicating a family connection, and a possible earlier residence in Reading or vicinity.
Samuel Winch, 1. Was in Sud. as early as 1670, when he bought 8 a. of land of Samuel How, at Lanham. Prob. he took up land in Fram., immediately after King Philip's war, and built about 1683, what is called in the records " Winch's old house," which stood where is now the Tim. Stearns cellar-hole, on the road from Samuel Cutting's to the New bridge. Oct. 20, 1683, he took a deed of wid. Anne Stone, who "for a sum of money paid to her late husband in his lifetime, sells the said Samuel 56 acres, situated at a place called Wolf Swamp, being a part of the Corlett farm." Apr. 16, 1690, he bo't of the Stone heirs, 12 a. more of the same farm. Mar. 25, 1693, Thomas Danforth executed a lease to Samuel Winch and Thomas Frost, of 300 a. of land, for 999 years. [See ante, pp. 115-6.] In 1694, Mr. Winch was living in his new house, on his Corlett farm lot. The ho. stood across the way from the Elisha Frost ho., which has lately (ISS4) been taken down.

Mr. Kellogg, and rather abruptly asked the question : "Parson, is it right to sell a cow twice ? I've sold a cow and got pay for her ; and now I have a chance to sell her again - Is it right ?" "No ! certainly not," answered Mr. K., with his peculiar emphasis. "Well," says the captain, "five years ago you preached a sermon, and we paid you for it. Yes- terday you preached the same sermon again. Are you going to exact pay for it a second time ? " He d. Apr. 7, 1815. He m. Mary Beals of Way., d. Nov. 25, 1812. Chil. Molly, b. Mar. 28, 1756, m.
