RICHARD FOXWELL,


a man of Kent, settled in Kent street 1634, on the fourth lot south of Meeting-house lane. He had meadow also at New Harbour marshes. In 1643, he was in Barnstable, and we hear of him at Georgiana, 1646. But he died at Barnstable, 1668, intestate : Hugh Cole and Samuel Bacon administrators. His children born in Scituate were Mary 1635, (wife of Hugh Cole 1656), Martha born 1638, (wife of Samuel Bacon 1659), and Ruth born 1641. In 1659, Richard Foxwell, John Phil- ips, George Lewis, Henry Josselyn, Robert Jordan, Francis Neal and others, gave in an acknowledgment that they belonged to the Jurisdiction of Massachusetts, (Colony Records). They resided occasionally in Georgiana, and the country between Portsmouth and the Kennebec.


SAMUEL FULLER,


a man of Kent, was freeman 1634. His house was on Green field, 1635, the first lot abutting on Kent street. He also had twenty acres on the east of Belle house neck, afterward Peter Collamore's. He was doubtless one of the company of the Mayflower, and came with his uncle Dr. Samuel Fuller, 1620.


Samuel Fuller left no family here ; he went to Barnstable, where he died 1683. He was in Plymouth 1638.


We notice in the Colony records, the will of that Dr. Samuel Fuller, who made himself so useful to both Plymouth and

Massachusetts Colonies in their early times ; it bears date 1638, and gives "To my son Samuel my house at Smelt River, (and farm). Also my cousin Samuel shall be allowed to go freely away with a certain stock of swine and cattle which he was allowed to call his own." His cousin Samuel was said in his will to be " then in his house." There was a Samuel Ful- ler, who died at Rehoboth, 1677. Robert Fuller and Nicholas Ide administrators. This may have been Dr. Fuller's son.


MATTHEW GANNETT


was born in England, 1618. He settled first in Hingham, from whence he came to Scituate, 1651, when he purchased a half share of the Conihassett lands of Anna Vinal. His house was at the west end of the dam at Lincoln's mills, near where Capt. Wallis's now stands, but within the line of Scituate. He had a brother Thomas at Bridgewater, who died 1655, and left Matthew a legacy of lands in Bridgewater, (Colony Rec.) Matthew had two sons, Matthew and Joseph. Matthew, jr. erect- ed a house a few rods north and near his father's, 1675. He also had two sons, Matthew and Joseph. The former of whom, Matthew 3d. married Mary Chapin 1712, and left sons Mat- thew, Seth (who died early) and Samuel, born from 1712 to 1721. Joseph, son of Matthew, sen. married widow Sharp, (who had before one son, Benoni Sharp). His children, Hannah born 1684, Joseph 1686, Matthew 1688, (who married Mary Bacon 1708), Deborah 1690, Joseph 1693. Of these Joseph and Matthew settled in Bridgewater, from whom are derived the respectable families of the name there, as also at Boston and Cambridge.


Matthew Gannett, sen. died 1695. His will dated 1694, gives legacies " to wife Hannah-to sons Matthew and Reho- both Gannett-to daughters Hannah Adams, Abigail Dodson, Elizabeth Leavitt. To grand daughter Esther Palmer -To the sons of my son Joseph, deceased, (Matthew and Joseph), all my right to undivided land in Bridgewater." Rehoboth Gannett deceased in Morristown, New Jersey, and left no children. Samuel married Sarah Cole, and his sons Samuel and Joseph are living in Scituate. Matthew (son of Matthew, 3d.) had sons in Vermont, Prince and Amos-and Elkanah of Scituate.

SAMUEL GARDNER ,


was in Scituate 1707. His house was west of Margaret's brook. He married Lydia Oldham 1707. His son William succeeded him.


DEA. RICHARD GARRETT


was a householder before 1646. He was the first Town Clerk, 1636, also clerk of the Conihassett partners ten years, though not a partner himself, being a skillful penman. His land was nearly in front of the north or first Society's Meeting-house, as it now stands, which was probably his house lot. Also east of Eagle's nest swamp, where his sons John and Joseph settled.


He married Lydia, the daughter of Elder Nathaniel Tilden. His children, Joseph born 1648, John 1651, Mary 1655, Richard 1659, (who married Persis Pierce, daughter of Capt. Michael Pierce, 1695).


Joseph had one son, Joseph born 1680, and four daughters. His wife was Ruth, daughter of Lieut. Isaac Buck. Joseph was a soldier in Philip's war.


John had one son, Richard born 1689.


Richard, jr. had one son, John born 1706, and two daugh- ters, Anna and Deborah.


We find no record or note of the death of Richard, sen. He may have deceased in Boston, where we observe the record of the death of a Richard Garrett, 1662. He is supposed to have been the son of that Capt. Richard Garrett whose loss is described in Winthrop's journal, (Vol. I. 39.), and brother of Capt. Robert Garrett of Boston, whose will dated 1660, is as follows: "Being bound on a voyage to Barbadoes, &c. I give to my wife Mary my house in Boston, to my children John, Robert, Mary and Sarah, the rest of my estate to be equally divided."


Joseph Garrett, the son of Dea. Richard, died at Scituate, 1714. His will bequeathes "to wife Ruth, to daughters Ruth Wade, Mary Briggs, Elizabeth Briggs, and Jael Garrett, (certain legacies), to son Joseph Garrett two tenths of a thousand acres, which Mr John Saffin gave me."

JOHN GIBBS


was in Scituate 1719, when his daughter Ann was born. John his son had a son, John born 1760.


MR WILLIAM GILLSON


1


settled in Kent street, 1633. His house lot was the second from the corner, near the bridge. He had land also at the north-east end of the second cliff, and also a lot on the south- east end of third cliff, where he erected a wind mill, 1636, the earliest mill in the Plantation if not in the Colony .* He had a lot of eighty acres upland and marsh, from " stoney cove eastward," on North river, in which lot he was succeeded by several purchasers, Thomas Robinson the west part 1640, Thomas Nichols the centre 1645, Israel Hobart east part some- what later. We observe an act of Court respecting his mill, 1637: "It is enacted that the miller of Scituate shall not take above the twelfth part for the toul of grindinge corne." We observe also that he was a contractor (with others) at a very early date to improve the navigable passage at Green's Harbour, near Gov. Winslow's in Marshfield, (then called Rexham). Colony records 1633, "It is ordered that unless Mr Gillson, John Shaw and others, that undertook the cutting of the passage between Green's Harbour and the Bay, finish it before October next ensuing, according to covenant, they be amerced in 10£." He was an assistant in the government from 1633 to 1638, excepting 1635. He is noticed in all the transactions of those times as a man of education and talents : but he died early. His will dated 1639, gives legacies "to my wife Frances, &c. to nephew John Daman my lot on the third cliff after the next crop is taken off-To niece Han- nah Daman 20£ in money. To nephew Daniel Romeball 40s money-to my Pastor Mr John Lothrop 5£ in money." He left no children. After the decease of his widow 1649, John and Hannah Daman were made the sole heirs of the estate, (see Daman).


JOHN GRANGER


was in Scituate 1640, or earlier. His farm was south of the training field, and north-east of Hick's swamp, John Whiston's


Stephen Deane erected a mill for pounding corn in Plymouth 1632. Gillson's was the first grinding mill in the Colony.

being on the north. These lands were Peter Worthlike's 1660, and Joseph Colman's 1690. He left no family here. Grace Granger, a widow, who seems to have owned a farm near the mouth of North river, on the Marshfield side, in 1648, was his widow. She deceased 1648, and gives in her will, "To son John my house and land, also a share of Conihassett land to indemnify him for 10£ of his money in England, which has been paid for land here-also a saw, broad axe and narrow axe at 21 years of age. To daughter Elizabeth a bed and bedding - also one heifer with the increase-also one great mortar and pestle, and one great kettle." This son may have gone to Connecticut. There was a Launcelot Granger in Ipswich 1648 : also John, of Andover, at the same time.


THOMAS GRAY


(called of Dublin) owned a tract of land in Scituate, on the south of Cordwood hill, in 1730. His house stood a half mile south of that hill, at a small eminence, now well known by the name of Gray's hill. The name of his wife was Sarah. His children were George born 1730, who removed to Pownalboro, Maine. He died early, and left, we believe, no family. He was about to be married to Sarah Woodworth, afterward the wife of Shearjashub Bourn, the son of Rev. Mr Bourn of Scituate.


William born 1732, married Abigail Perry of Scituate, 1753, and Sarah Hayden 1765 : he is then called of Boston. He had three children. Lucy, who married Mr Lane of Cohassett, Abigail, who married Dwelley Clap of Scituate, and James, who resided some time in Hingham, but who settled in Scituate, and married Bethia Curtis 1785. He died in middle life, leaving children, Abigail, (wife of Mr Dunbar), William, who died at Amelia island without a family. Harrison, bookseller, of the firm of Hilliard, Gray and Co., Boston -Bethia, (wife of Thomas Simmons), Rebecca and Elizabeth (died early).


Elizabeth, (daughter of Thomas), born 1736, was the wife of Samuel Brooks of Hanover, and died 1830. Sarah born 1738, died single 1827. Mary born 1740, died single 1827.


JOSEPH GREEN


was in Scituate 1690. He married Ann, daughter of John Turner, jr. in 1695, he is called in our records "of Weymouth."

FAMILY SKETCHES.


EDMUND GROSS,


from Hingham, was in Scituate 1730. His farm was west of Simon's hill, on the road from Assinippi to Prospect hill. He married Olive, the daughter of Richard Sylvester, 1736. She deceased 1816, aged ninety-five. He had eleven children, two of whom, Elisha and Thomas, were soldiers, remarkable for their bravery in the American war. The father was a soldier in the French war. Elisha succeeded his father in his residence, and deceased 1829, whose son resides now at the same place. This family descended from Edmund Gross, who was in Boston 1642, and whose son Isaac, born 1642, probably came to Hingham.


JOHN HALL


married Abigail, the daughter of Timothy White, 1705, and settled at Scituate Harbour. His children were Mary, Abigail, Elizabeth, John born 1712, Timothy 1714, Susanna, Sarah, Rachel, Katharine.


This family removed probably to Marshfield.


Capt. Robert P. Hall, who deceased at Scituate Harbour, 1814, was from Cape Cod. His wife was a sister of Capt. Moses Rich.


JOHN HALLET, Planter, (Early written Hollet.)


was one of the Conihassett partners, 1646. His house stood at the harbour, near where stands that of Jesse Dunbar, Esq .. perhaps a little south-east. In 1691, "Capt. Stephen Otis's new house" is mentioned, which is now Young's tavern and Post-office), and as bounded to John Hollet's house lot on the north. He was an extensive landholder. Hollet's island, near "the stepping stones," now retains his name. He was in Scituate, or rather had lands assigned to his right, in 1668. He was probably at Yarmouth in 1650, in which year his son John was there born. Richard Curtis of Scituate, married Anna his daughter, 1649. His descendants are at Cape Cod, and at Boston. His brother Andrew was of Sandwich, 1638 ..


WILLIAM HAMANS


was in Scituate 1636. He soon deceased or removed.


278


FAMILY SKETCHES.


JEDIDIAH HAMMOND,


probably from Middleboro or Rochester, was the first of that name in this place. His residence was thirty rods west of the north Meeting-house, near the four corners. He married Elizabeth, daughter of Joseph Parker, 1712. His children, Agatha born 1713, Joseph 1714, Benjamin 1718, Joanna 1721. Joseph was the father of twelve children, born from 1738 to 1764, some of whom are living. Seth, his son, married Mary Buck, (the last of the name of Buck in the Town), and left a family.


JOHN HANMER


was in Scituate 1639. His house was south of Colman's hills, next to Isaac Robinson's. He seems to have had another west of those hills, which he sold to Joseph Colman, jr. 1660. He had also a large lot of land in that part of Scituate now Hanover, south-west of Hanover Meeting-house. This was sold by his sons to Jeremiah and Walter Hatch before 1680. " Hanmer's hook" was the name of this lot, and it still bears the name. He was living 1673. There is no record of the births of his family. His daughter Rebecca married Daniel Hicks, 1659. He had also daughters Bethia and Hannah, and sons John, Joseph and Isaac. Isaac had a son Benjamin, who married Abigail, the daughter of Henry Josselyn, 1715, and Jane Wright 1724. The name has been extinct in this place for near a century.


CONSIDER HOWLAND


came from Marshfield. He married Ruth Church 1795, and settled at the ancient Amos Perry place, on the north-east of the Episcopal Church hill. He has a family : a son Luther.


SAMUEL HARLOW,


from Plymouth, resided a short time in Scituate. He married Mary Barstow 1716. His daughter Mary born 1717.


279


FAMILY SKETCHES.


ELDER WILLIAM HATCH Savages Cleanings 1275


settled in Kent street 1634. His house lot was the first south of Greenfield lane. He was the first ruling elder of the second Church, 1643. He was an active and useful man in the settlement of the Town. His children probably were born in England. His wife's name was Jane. Walter, his son, bore arms 1643, when he was, of course, over sixteen years of age. He settled on a point of land north-east of Stoney cove, and south-east of the second Society's Meeting-house. He married Elizabeth, daughter of Thomas Holbrook of Weymouth, 1650. His children, Hannah born 1651, Samuel 1653, Jane 1655, Antipas 1658, Bethia 1661. His posterity are in Marshfield. Mr Samuel Hatch of Scituate, near Stockbridge's mill, is also his descendant.


William, jr. lived in the house at Kent street. He married Susanna Annable, (daughter of Anthony), 1652: his children, Lydia born 1653, (who married John Barstow 1678). He removed to Swanzey, where he was living 1690; and his pos- terity may be found in that vicinity.


Jeremiah (son of Elder William), settled near his brother Walter, with whom he was engaged in ship building for many years. He was often a deputy to Colony Court, a surveyor, selectman, and in short a man of great usefulness. He married Mary, daughter of John Hewes, "the Welshman," "' and had fourteen children, born from 1658 to 1678. His sons Jere- miah, John, Israel, Joseph, Thomas and James. Jeremiah succeeded his father in his residence and his calling. Several descendants are in Vermont.


Hannah (daughter of Elder Hatch) married Samuel Utley, 1658. Ann married Lieut. James Torrey, 1643. Jane, the widow of Elder Hatch, married Elder Thomas King, 1653.


Elder Hatch died 1651. His will bequeaths "To wife Jane 2 cows, with keeping for the same, half my house, half the fruits of my orchard, 16 bushels of corn, 4 of wheat, and 4 of rye per ann. - To daughter Jane Lovell [probably of Wey- mouth] one cow-to gr. son John Lovell a cow calf : and if the Lord give my daughter Jane more children, the next child shall have the first calf of the cow given to John, and the next child the next, and so on successively. To daughter Ann Torrey one cow-to her son James Torrey the first calf of that cow, the next to Joseph, her son, and the next to Dama-

ris, her daughter. All the rest of my property to my sons Walter and William, they paying the legacies.


WILLIAM WITHERELL,


" Attest, JAMES TORREY, WILLIAM HATCH," (son of Thomas).


THOMAS HATCH


was an older brother, probably, of William. He settled in a part of the Town at that time but little cultivated, viz. three fourths of a mile west of the present Town-house, near a small brook that runs in the meadow, and twenty rods west of the road. He died early. His widow had an infant Hannah brought to baptism 1646, which was probably near the date of his death. His other earlier children were William and Thomas.


William was a soldier in Philip's war, and received a grant of land 1676. He left daughters, Mary born 1652, Lydia 1654, Phebe and Hannah, but no son probably.


Thomas married Sarah, daughter of Rhodolphus Ellms, 1662, and had eleven children, born from 1664 to 1684. His descendants now living are Marshall Hatch, and Jonathan, who lives near the first settlement of the family.


Alice, who married Jonas Pickels 1657, was probably daugh- ter of Thomas, sen.


Thomas, jr. deceased 1686. His will gives "To eldest son Thomas, land at Long marsh-to Rhodolphus, Joseph and Jeremiah, (the youngest child being two years old), land at Stonnington, Conn. To daughter Sarah, Lydia, Caturah, Han- nah, Mary, Margaret, Abigail, 8£ each."


There was a Samuel Hatch, a volunteer soldier in the Pequod war, 1637.


MR TIMOTHY HATHERLY


arrived at Plymouth in the ship Ann, 1623. He there erected a house, which was soon destroyed by fire. He went to England 1625, and did not return hither until 1632. Winthrop says, "in the Charles from Barnstable, Eng., which sailed April 10, and arrived June 5." He came in by way of Boston, proceeded to Plymouth, where he tarried a year or more. We notice in the Colony records, 1633, "ordered that the whole


281


FAMILY SKETCHES.


tract of land between the brook at Scituate on the north-west side, and Conihassett, (the gulph), be left undisposed of until we know the resolution of Mr James Shirley, Mr John Beau- champ, Mr Richard Andrews, and Mr Timothy Hatherly," (see Conihassett). The grant was made to these gentlemen 1637 : but we find Mr Hatherly here in 1634. This territory as we have elsewhere remarked, was purchased of the other three to whom the grant was made, by Mr Hatherly, and sold in shares, he retaining one fourth of the whole : and by agree- ment that fourth consisted of four hundred acres north and west of the Harbour, two hundred acres at Musquashcut harbour, (afterwards Briggs's harbour), and 10£ in money. The first land which he cultivated was west of great Musquashcut pond, where he had "a herring wear," and where he had a house 1638. In 1651, he sold a farm on Musquashcut harbour to Walter Briggs. He married Lydia, the widow of Elder Na- thaniel Tilden, 1642, and changed his residence to Kent street. He was ever ready to purchase the lands and houses of those who were desirous to remove, and to accommodate others who came into the settlement. He built several houses, one of which was afterwards the parsonage. He purchased Mr Lothrop's house on his retiring to Barnstable, and sold it again to Mr Chauncy. In short, he was the pillar and supporter of the plantation -always ready to advance money for the Town in times of difficulty, or to aid individuals with his wealth. His large tract of land west of Accord pond, he sold but in part, and gave the remainder to the Conihassett partners : it consisted of nine square miles, and was laid out to him by order of govern- ment, 1663. The line of this land is called "the share line." He gave a share in Conihassett lands to Rhodolphus Ellmes - a house lot to Eglin Hanford, (north of Thomas Ensign's, at the Harbour), his sister's daughter. He gave the parsonage house and land to the Church, 1654, and seven years after- ward his Musquashcut farm and buildings to the Church and Society. No man deserved so well of the plantation, and we believe he was generally considered as the guardian and patron of Scituate. We have often regretted that the Town was not called after his name. Morton, in the New England's Memo- rial, observes : "He was one of the first beginners, and a good instrument to uphold the Church and Town of Scituate." We may add that he was also an important member of the govern- ment, having been an assistant thirteen years -treasurer of the Colony -and a commissioner of the United Colonies three years.

In 1658, he fell under the displeasure of Gov. Prince and his assistants, by reason of his taking a firm stand against the oppression of the Quakers, and was afterward suffered to re- main 'in retirement from the cares of government. General Cudworth, his friend and fellow sufferer in " persecution for righteousness sake," lived to see the veil taken off from the eyes of government, and to find his proper station in society : not so the venerable Hatherly. In 1666, he made over the remainder of his estate to Dea. Joseph Tilden, and took a bond in £100, "for the peaceable possession of it to himself and his wife Lydia during their lives." He deceased the same year, leaving no children of his own : but for the children of Nathan- iel Tilden, he made a bountiful provision before his decease, by deeds of gift.


Mr Hatherly was a merchant of London : but it is probable the seat of his family had been in Devonshire, there being a town of Hatherly in that shire. Few of the name have come to this country, and those probably not nearly connected with him : for example, Arthur Hatherly in Plymouth, 1660, left no family that we have learned, unless Thomas Hatherly of Boston, 1670, was his son, whose son Thomas married Lydia Green 1693. Dea. Hatherly Foster, of Scituate, was the great grandson of Mr Hatherly's sister. It is a name worthy to be perpetuated.


JOHN HAYDEN


came into Scituate from Hingham, 1720. He married Mary Vinal 1723. His sons were William, Ezekiel and Joseph. William left sons William, Ezra, Peleg, and Elisha, and two daughters, viz. Anna, (wife of Abner Sutton, and the wife of Collier). .


Elisha married Deborah Pierce, his son Elisha is the sole survivor of the name in this Town, except Elisha's children.


JOSEPH HENCHMAN, (or Hinckesman),


appears in Scituate 1680. He owned a considerable tract of land at Henchman's corner, half mile west of the south Meeting- house, adjoining Dea. Joseph Cushing's and Philip Turner's land., His house stood twenty rods east from the parting of the roads, on the north side of the street. He sold it to Rev. Mr Eells 1714. It was a spacious house. Thirty years since

it was taken down, and a slight habitation built with its ruins : and the whole removed 1826.


The family of Henchman on record are Elizabeth born 1685, (married Amos Sylvester 1706), Mary 1689, Thomas 1691, Deborah 1692, Joseph 1694, William 1696, Hannah 1698, Edmund 1700, Sarah 1702. He had also a sister Elnathan, who married Eliab Turner 1694. This family came from Massachusetts and returned thither ; probably to Chelms- ford. We take him to have been the son of Thomas Hinchman, Esq. of Chelmsford. There was, however, a Mr Hinckesman in Marshfield, 1653, who may have been his father.


JOHN HEWES, "the Welshman,"


was in Scituate 1632. We trace him previously at Plymouth : the name is sometimes written Hewghs. He was freeman 1639. His house was on Kent street, the second south of Meeting-house lane. There are few notices of his family. He was living 1673. His daughter Mary married Jeremiah Hatch 1657. His son John, who had been a freeholder, died 1661, leaving no family here. John Hughs of Hingham, in 1665, who left sons John, Samuel, and others, may have been' his son. He died 1672.


EPHRAIM HEWETT,


son of Thomas of Hingham, was born 1639. (Hobart's journal). He had brothers, James born 1643, Thomas 1644, Timothy 1647. Ephraim was a short time in Scituate. He married Elizabeth Foster, the only daughter of Mr Edward Foster, 1665. Their children were Thomas born 1667, Ruth 1669, Susanna 1672, Jael 1673, Ephraim 1676. This family re- turned to Hingham, and probably resided some time at Hull. Thomas (" an unfortunate insane young man") was kept by his guardian, Thomas Jenkins of Scituate, 1690.


Ephraim Hewett, minister of Windsor, Connecticut, was brother of Thomas of Hingham. There was a John Hewett of Marshfield, who married Martha Winter 1668.


THOMAS HICKES, from Plymouth,


was in Scituate 1640. He was probably brother of Robert, and came in the ship Ann, 1623. His house lot was north- east of Hickes's swamp, a well known place a mile south of 1

the Harbour. There is no record of his family. Daniel Hickes, his son, succeeded him, and married Rebecca, daugh- ter of John Hanmer, 1659. The family soon disappears after this date. In 1652, Thomas Hickes died, "and his aged widow being unable to attend Court, Mr Hatherly was author- ized to take evidence of his will, his inventory, &c." This family came from Bermondsey street, Southwark, (Colony Records) .*


Robert Hickes (brother of Thomas) had lands also in Scituate. In 1662, "Margaret his widow confirms a sale of 50 acres on the North river, sold by her husband in his life time, to Elnathan, youngest of the sons of President Chauncy." Colony records. Samuel (son of Robert) was a deputy from Nauset, (Eastham), 1647 and 8. He married Lydia Doan 1645. Ephraim (another son) married Elizabeth Howland. 1649, and died 1650. Lydia and Phebe were also daughters of Robert Hickes.


HERCULES HILLS


was in Scituate 1636: a soldier in the Pequod war, 1637, afterward returned to England. We learn the place of his residence in England, 1666, to have been Rochester, in Kent, from the conveyance made of certain lands in Scituate, to Edward Goodwin, shipwright of Boston. He had a lot at Kent street.
