Sudbu- ry is said to have been one of the first seats of the Flemings, brought over by Edward III., to teach the English the art of manufacturing their own wool. Sudbury, i.e., the " Southern burough," received its name from its position towards Norwich, i.e., the Northern village. It is populous, and thrives by the cloth trade.

* Besides the above, the proprie- tors made grants, in 1644, to Herbert Pelham ; although it does not appear that he became an inhabitant. He owned, for many years, " the Island," so-called, which from him derived the name of " Pelham's Island." It contained, in 1725, 387 ac., 68 per .; and was sold by Edward, Edward, Jr., and Tho. Pelham, all of Newport, R. I., Nov. 4, 1711, to Isaac Hunt and Samuel Stone, Jr .; who, the same month, sold a part to Jonathan Fiske and George Reed. Herbert Pelham, Esq., was one of the council of Mass., in Eng., 1629, and put £100 into the common stock of the colony ; was of Cambridge, N. E., 1638, and " Townsman " there, 1645, and also Assistant of the Col .; Commissioner of the united Colonies, 1646. In 1650 he had returned to England ; and his residence is afterwards referred to as in " Ferrers, in Bewer's hamlet, coun- ty of Essex." He was buried at Bury St. Mary, county of Suffolk, in Eng., July 1, 1673. By his will, dated Jan.
1, 1672, he gave to his son, EDWARD, (of Newport, R. I., w. Freelove), his lands in Sudbury. He also left chil- dren, WALDEGRAVE, (the eldest), who was buried in England, Nov, 12, 1699, leaving a son, Herbert, and a daughter, Jemima Hunt ; HENRY ; PE- NELOPE, wife of Josiah Winslow, Esq. and mother of Isaac, and Elizabeth (Burton). Herbert Pelham was an early proprietor at Watertown, and an original patentee of Conn. He married a daughter of Mr. Walde- grave.
Capt. William Pelham was Select- man in Sudbury, 1645 and 6; his house lot was at the N.E. end of the town ; he also commanded " the hand of Sudbury." Johnson, (p. 193), speaks of him as then in England. Camb. and Sud. Rec .; Private Papers ; Hutch. i. 144, note, (who supposes Herbert of the same family with the Duke of Newcastle) ; Sav.

THE TOWN OF ASHLAND.
Ashland was incorporated March 16, 1846; having been previously known as Unionville, the name being applied to a neighborhood em- bracing parts of Hopkinton, Holliston, and Framingham.
The first town meeting was held March 30, 1846, when the follow- ing persons were elected to public office in the town, viz :-
Daniel Eames, Moderator.
Calvin Shepard, Jr. ?
William F. Ellis,
Josiah Burnham,
Daniel Eames, Assessors.
Dexter Rockwood,
Selectmen.
Simeon N. Cutler,
Andrew Allard,
Albert Ellis,
Benjamin Homer, Town Treas'r.
A Post Office was established in the village, in January, 1835 ; Mat- thew Metcalf, Esq. receiving the first appointment as Post Master.
The first preaching in the village dates from April, 1834, when the Rev. James McIntire commenced his labors A church, consisting of 21 members, was gathered Jan. 21, 1835, and the society was organ- ized in due form of law, Feb. 17th. The meeting house was dedicat- ed Jan. 21, 1836, on which day Mr. McIntire received ordination as pastor. Mr. McIntire retired Sept. 11, 1838, and was succeeded by the Rev. Joseph Haven, ordained Nov. 6, 1839, who retired Dec. 16, 1846. The Rev. Charles L. Mills was ordained Feb. 11, 1847.
EXPLANATION.
IN the following Register will be found the names, as far as known, of all the individuals and families who were inhabitants of Framing- ham before the year 1800. In many of the sketches are introduced branches from other towns, which, for the sake of distinction, are printed in smaller type.
The paragraphs under each family name, are regularly numbered for convenient reference. When a number in small type is placed before a name, as, "1 George," it is to indicate, that he is the first son, or a descendant from the first son, of the progenitor in the sketch. When a number, in the same type, is placed after a name, as, " George 12," it is to indicate the No. of the paragraph where his family is introduced. When at the beginning of a paragraph, a number, enclosed in parentheses, follows the name, as, " James s. of John (4)," the number in parentheses refers back to the paragraph, (No. four), where the father's family is given. Where several generations are included in the same paragraph, they will be easily distinguished by the various kinds of type in which the names are printed.
The practice of numbering the children in a family, is, for conven- ience, preserved in some instances, where the particular order of birth is unknown.
