HISTORY OF THE ANCIENT AND
[1641-2
Edward Collins (1641), of Cambridge in 1636, was admitted a freeman May 13, 1640. He joined the Cambridge church, and was elected a deacon therein before 1658. Mr. Collins (1641) was a representative from 1654 to 1670, and held various town offices in Cambridge. During his service in the General Court, he served on some of the most important committees. He was an intimate friend of Gen. Gookin (1645). For some years he lived on the farm of Gov. Cradock, in Medford, and finally purchased it for four hundred and fifty pounds. He sold one thousand six hundred acres to Richard Russell (1644), and the remainder to other parties. His residence in Cam- bridge was on the easterly side of Holyoke Street, nearly opposite the present site of the printing-office. This estate he sold to Gen. Gookin (1645), in whose family it remained until 1760. " In 1675, Mr. Collins [1641], at the age of seventy-three years, was still engaged in speculations in real estate " in Medford. He was admitted, Jan. 15, 1671, an inhabitant of Charlestown, where he died, April 9, 1689, aged about eighty-six years.
Samuel Eldred (1641), of Cambridge, had four children by wife Elizabeth, born in that town between 1641 and 1649. The only other fact known concerning him, when residing in Cambridge, is that he testified in a suit of Edward Goffe against Richard Cutter, "for wrongfully detaining calves." After the testimony had been given, the town, having considered the business, fined both the plaintiff and defendant. Mr. Eldred (1641) is supposed to have moved to Wickford, R. I., where, as a constable, he figured prominently in the dispute between Rhode Island and Connecticut concerning the boundary line. He was in Rochester in 1688, and is mentioned in the Revolution in New England Justified, p. 20.
John Hardier (1641), of Braintree.
Joshua Hobart (1641), of Hingham, son of Edmund and Margaret Hobart, was born in Hingham, England, in 1614. He came to America with his parents in 1633, and tarried at Charlestown, where he was received into the church. In 1635, he removed to Hingham, Mass., where his brother, Rev. Peter Hobart, was pastor of the church. Joshua (1641) was admitted to be a freeman Sept. 3, 1634. He married in March, 1638, Ellen Ibrook, of Cambridge. He was a selectman of Hingham eight years, between 1662 and 1681 ; was deputy to the General Court in 1643, and served in that office a total of twenty-five years; was speaker of the House in 1674; was interested in the militia ; became ensign in 1648, lieutenant in 1651, and captain of the Hingham company in 1653. He held the latter position for over twenty years. In 1670, he was on a committee to revise the laws; in 1673 was chosen to audit the accounts of the treasurer of the colony, and in 1672, he and Lieut. Fisher (1640), having been appointed commissioners, reported to the Legislature upon the boundary line between Massachu setts Bay and Plymouth colonies. In 1679, a petition, signed by Capt. Hobart (1641) and others, to form a troop of horse, was granted, and in June, 1680, this troop was

attached to a new regiment, commanded by Col. Wm. Stoughton. The Indian deed of Hingham, given in 1665, conveys to Capt. Joshna Hobart ( 1641) and John Thaxter, " for a valuable consideration to us payd " by them, "the Towneshippe of Hingham," for the use of the inhabitants of Hingham.
He appears to have been one of the principals in the famous military quarrel in Hingham in 1645, which disturbed the train-band, the church, the town, and finally the elders and the General Court. It resulted in the fining of all the parties, not exempting his brother, the minister. Capt. Joshua (1641) was fined twenty pounds, being the heaviest penalty imposed on any of them. This quarrel arose about the election of one Bozoun Allen (1650) to be the first captain of the train-band in Hingham. Capt. Hobart (1641), probably in consequence of the severity of the court upon him, was not only promoted to be captain when Capt. Allen (1650) moved to Boston, but, March 20, 1655, he was, "by a joint consent and general vote of the town, freed from paying any rates for the public charge of the town during the time that he is chief officer of the town for the exercise of the military company." Both of the above-mentioned cap- tains, at the time of this difference, were members of the House of Representatives. There is a tradition that, as captain of a company, he was in active service during some part of King Philip's War. He resided on Main Street, next east of the meeting-house of the First Parish, where he died, July 28, 1682.
Nathaniel Howard (1641), of Dorchester, was admitted to be a freeman May 10, 1643. A Nathaniel Howard is mentioned in the History of. Dorchester. Mr. Savage thinks he moved to Charlestown, and there married, July 2, 1666, Sarah, daughter of Major Simon Willard. She died Jan. 22, 1678, and he married, July 1, 1678, Sarah Parker. He was a tenant on Winthrop's farm, Feb. 12, 1671. He moved to Chelms- ford in 1680. His will of Nov. 7, 1709, was probated Feb. 17, 1709-10.
Jeremiah Howchin (1641), son of William, of Harleston, Norfolk County, England, a tanner, came over in 1635, was admitted a member of Dorchester church June 12, 1639, and became a freeman May 13, 1640. He moved to Boston with Duncan (1638), Upshall (1637), and other Dorchester settlers whose names are among those of the founders of the Old North Society in 1650, and was admitted an inhabitant March 13, 1648. He was elected a constable of Boston in 1648, clerk of the market in 1649, sealer of leather in 1650, and served as a selectman six years, from 1649 to 1654. His daughter, Elizabeth, married John Endicott, Jr., and another, Rachel, married, in 1673, Bozoun Allen (1676). Mr. Howchin (1641) owned property on Elm Street, and also the east corner of Court and Hanover streets, where Concert Hall afterward stood. His house, garden, orchard, and tan-pits, included "one quarter of an acre of land," which he sold in 1646, and afterward lived on Elm Street. He was representative for Hing- ham from 1651 to 1659, excepting 1656, and for Salisbury in 1663, 1664, 1665, and 1667. He resigned his commission as ensign in Capt. Thomas Clarke's (1644) com- pany, May 23, 1655. He died between April 7, 1670, the date of his will, and May 31 next following, when his will was proved.

HISTORY OF THE ANCIENT AND
[1641-2
John Humfrey, Jr. (1641), of Lynn, was the eldest son of Gen. John Humfrey (1640). Mr. Whitman (1810) says, "He probably returned to England and died there. A letter of attorney, in 1684, was sent to a Mr. Humfrey, to appear and answer for the province concerning Andros' troubles, and may mean the same person." Gen. Humfrey (1640) went to England Oct. 26, 1641, and perhaps John, Jr. (1641), went with him and did not return. The latter was the fifth person who joined the Artillery Company in 1641-2.
John Manning (1641), of Boston, was a merchant. His name is not mentioned in the Book of Possessions, nor in the Records of the Selectmen. He had children born in Boston, by wife, Abigail. She died June 25, 1644. He married (2) Ann, daughter of Richard Parker (1638).
Mr. Manning (1641) was ensign of the Artillery Company in 1648.
John Milam (1641), of Boston, a cooper, was admitted to be a freeman May 25, 1636, and joined the First Church, with his wife, Christian, Jan. 3, 1635-6. His house and garden were east of Hanover Street, on Cross Street (corner of North), the same lot upon which the stone house was erected which was torn down in 1864, and consid- ered the oldest building in Boston. Sept. 25, 1643, he had liberty to wharf before his dwelling-house, and in 1647, " to wharf afor the highway that lys next him." In 1644, the General Conrt loaned two guns, valued at thirteen pounds, to the owners of a ship. The guns had not been returned May 22, 1651, when the General Court ordered that the owners of the ship- Capt. William Tyng (1638), Capt. Robert Keayne (1637), and John Milam (1641) - should pay to the colony fifteen pounds within fourteen days. In 1652, Mr. Milam (1641) removed from Boston.
John Mousall (1641), of Charlestown, was born in England in 1596; came to America in 1634, and joined the church in Charlestown, with his wife, the 23d of August, in the same year. He was admitted a freeman Sept. 3, 1634, and was a deputy in the General Court in 1635 and 1637.
He was one of the seven male members who constituted the church in Woburn at its organization, Aug. 14, 1642, and one of its deacons until his decease. He was appointed, in 1643, a commissioner to " end small causes" in Woburn ; was one of the first board of selectmen, and served in that office twenty-one successive years.
He died in Woburn, March 27, 1665.
John Newton (1641) was of Dorchester "as early as 1630," according to Dr. Harris, and "in 1632." according to Mr. Savage. He was admitted a freeman March 4, 1633. He moved to Dedham prior to January, 1636, when his name appears in the

This name (Newton) is given on the oldest roll of the Artillery Company, "Nuton," which Mr. Whitman ( 1810) called Nudon, hence Norden; therefore, Samuel Norden, of Boston. The sureties of this person, as given on the same roll, are Joshua and Anthony Fisher, of Dedham. We would natu- rally look to Dedham for the person. Mr. John Newton (1641), a resident of Dedham, prominent in the town and a neighbor of the Fishers, is be- lieved to be the person intended.

Dedham Records. He united with the church there, April 9, 1643. In 1639, Edward Allen, "Gent," was authorized to make a transcript of the surveys made in Dedham. It had not been done May 6, 1642, when Mr. Allen was permitted to obtain the assistance of his kinsman, John Newton (1641), in writing and engrossing the same. His name appears repeatedly in Dedham Records until 1669. He was first sergeant of the Artillery Company in 1666.
Adam Otley (1641) was of Lynn in 1641. Mr. Lewis says Mr. Otley (1641) married a daughter of Gen. John Humfrey (1640). In 1644, Adam Otley (1641) petitioned the General Court for a review of the decision of the referees against him in his case against Joseph Armitage. The petition was denied.
George Palmer (1641), of Boston in 1640, was a wine-cooper. He removed before 1655 to Warwick, R. I., and died about 1669. In April, 1670, a Boston creditor, James Neighbors, was granted letters of administration.
Thomas Parish (1641), of Cambridge, a physician, came in the " Increase " in 1635, aged twenty-two years. He was admitted to be a freeman April 18, 1637.
In September, 1643, the three commissioners, with a guard of forty men, were sent out to bring in Samuel Gorton and his company. Capt George Cooke (1638) was one of the commissioners, and likewise captain of the Company. In this expedition, Thomas Parish (1641) served as surgeon. In Paige's History of Cambridge, we are informed that Thomas Parish (1641) resided on the westerly side of Garden Street, near Concord Avenue ; was a selectman in 1639 and 1640. He returned to England before 1654, when his homestead (the house having been burned) was sold by his agent. Samuel Parish, of " witch mania memory," speaks of his father, Thomas, as a merchant living in London in 1656, and owning estates in Barbadoes, where he died in 1673.
John Severance (1641) -spelled Severne on the old roll - was, in 1639, an original proprietor of Salisbury. His son, Ephraim, married, Nov. 9, 1682, Lydia, daughter of Abraham Morrill (1638). Mr. Severance (1641) and Mr. Morrill (1638) lived near neighbors on Mudnock Road, and both were active in the affairs of the town.
Mr. Severance (1641) was chosen one of a committee to manage the affairs of the plantation in 1642, and was elected a prudential man the following year, and later held various town offices. His first wife, Abigail -, died June 17, 1658, and he married (2) Susanna Ambrose, a widow. He died April 2, 1682.
William Torrey (1641), of Weymouth, yeoman, son of Philip and Alicie Torrey, was born at Combe St. Nicholas, Somersetshire, England, in 1608 (baptized Dec. 21). He married, March 17, 1629, Agnes Combe, of Combe St. Nicholas, who died before 1640, when he came to America, bringing "William and Samuel Torrey, his sonne." It is supposed that just prior to his emigration he married a second wife, by whom

he had six children. He died on Tuesday, July 10, 1690. His will of May 15, 1686, was proved July 2, 1691.
He became a freeman May 18, 1642, and was a prominent citizen of Weymouth. He was a selectman of that town from 1643 almost constantly until 1682. In 1654, he was chosen a commissioner "to end small causes," and held that office many years. He was a representative from 1642 to 1649 inclusive, except 1646 and 1647, and also from 1679 to 1683 ; and after the overthrow of Andros, in 1690. He was clerk of the deputies from 1648 to 1658, and again in 1661 ; also, 1666. He was appointed clerk of the writs at Weymouth, and was authorized to "see people join in marriage at Weymouth." He served as lieutenant of the train-band of Weymouth, under Capt. Wm. Perkins (1638), and became his successor in command. During the difficulty in the Hingham company, 1645-8, Capt. Torrey (1641), by order of the General Court, Aug. 12, 1645, was the chief military officer in Hingham. In May, 1646, he was succeeded by Gen. Edward Gibbons (1637).
In consideration of the services of Capt. Torrey (1641), the General Court granted him five hundred acres of land. He was well educated, and is spoken of by Johnson as "a good penman, and skilled in the Latin tongue, usually Clarke of the Deputies." In 1687, he wrote a " Discourse concerning Futurities or Things to Come," - a curious essay on the speedy coming of the Messiah, which was published in 1757. The only copy known to be now in existence is in the Public Library of Boston.
His house in Weymouth was situated about two hundred feet easterly of the present line of Neck Street, at the head of the cove formerly known as Capt. Torrey's Cove, and later as Sampson's Cove. Well-defined marks of the cellar were there visible in 1885.
John Townsend (1641), of Lynn, was, perhaps, son of Thomas, of Lynn. With others, he made a settlement on Long Island, where he lived and left descendants.
John Westgate (1641), of Boston, an unmarried man when admitted to the church, Sept. 12, 1640, from which he was dismissed Sept. 26, 1647, " on desire of the church of Pulham Mary in Norfolk, England." In May, 1677, he was of Harleston in that county, whence he had written, April 5, 1653, to Capt. Thomas Lake (1653), to inquire if the report of the death of his former teacher, John Cotton, was true.1
Col. Stephen Winthrop (1641), fourth son of Gov. John Winthrop, of Massachu- setts, was born at Groton Manor, Suffolk County, England, March 24, 1619. He accompanied his mother to New England in 1631, united with the church March 16, 1634, and became a freeman Dec. 7, 1636. He was appointed in 1639 by the Court " to record things," and in 1642 obtained leave from the General Court to visit England. He delayed his journey for some time, and in 1644 represented the town of Plymouth, N. H., in the House of Deputies.
In 1645, he went to England with his brother-in-law, Col. William Rainsburrow (1639), and thence to the West Indies. Returning to England, he resided in the parish of

St. Margaret, Westminster. He acquired distinction, both military and political, obtaining a commission in the Parliamentary army, and becoming a member of Cromwell's Parlia- ment, for Scotland. He gradually rose to the rank of colonel, and commanded a regi- ment in Cromwell's service. " He was much trusted by the Protector. He succeeded Major-Gen. Harrison, who troubled Cromwell so much with his anticipation of a king- dom of the saints." His health suffered from his sleeping on the damp ground in one of his campaigns, and he died at his residence in London in the latter part of 1658. In Suffolk County Records, of May 20, 1659, his wife, Judith, is called "relict of Stephen Winthrop." But for the failure of his health, it is stated that Cromwell would have made him a major-general.
He married Judith, sister of Col. William Rainsburrow (1639), an officer of dis- tinction, and sister of the lady who subsequently became his stepmother. His wife and two daughters survived him.
He was the recorder of the court in Boston which tried Capt. Bayley's case against the Lady La Tour, and was arrested at La Tour's suit, on his return to England, at the same time that Capt. Weld (1637), one of the jury, was arrested, and was obliged to furnish bail in the sum of four thousand pounds.
1642-3. The officers elected were : Israel Stoughton (1637), captain ; Thomas Hawkins (1638), lieutenant ; Robert Bridges (1641), ensign ; Humfrey Atherton (1638), senior sergeant ; John Leverett (1639), junior sergeant ; Anthony Stoddard (1639), clerk, and Arthur Perry (1638), drummer.
The new commander was an enthusiastic Puritan, and as the news began to arrive of the increasing difficulties between the King and Parliament, he doubtless often wished, as he led the Artillery to its monthly drill, that he could be transported with his command across the Atlantic, there to wage war against the Church of Rome. Not long after, he undertook the then tedious voyage, and gave his strength and courage to the cause of Parliament as lieutenant-colonel of Rainsburrow's (1639) regiment.
Lieut. Thomas Hawkins (1638) was jointly concerned, in 1643, with Past-Com- mander Gibbons (1637) in an expedition which they fitted out at Boston, under a contract with La Tour, a Protestant French-Indian trapper on the coast of Maine and New Brunswick, against a Roman Catholic, D'Aulnay, a rival in the trade. Gibbons (1637) and Hawkins (1642) could not openly wage war on D'Aulnay's settlement, but they permitted their men to volunteer under La Tour, by whom a windmill was burned, growing crops destroyed, and two vessels, loaded with four hundred moose- skins and four hundred beaver-skins, were brought to Boston.
The new members recruited in 1642-3 were : Abraham Adkins, Andrew Belcher, John Blake, Humphrey Bradshaw, Matthew Chaffy, John Cole, Nathaniel Duncan, Jr., Josias Evans, Hopestill Foster, Thomas Glover, William Patten, Michael Pepper, Thomas Rawlins, Robert Selling, William Shepard, Lawrence Smith, Richard Stowers, Edward Tyng, Richard Way, Adam Winthrop, John Woodde, Richard Woodde.
Abraham Adkins (1642). On the oldest roll (1680) this name is plainly written. The sureties of Mr. Adkins (1642) were Ensign Savage (1637) and Mr. Stoddard (1639). As Mr. Adkins' (1642) name does not appear in the records of Boston and vicinity, he was probably not a resident of the colony.

Andrew Belcher (1642), of Sudbury in 1639. In October of that year, he married Elizabeth Danforth, of Cambridge, and in 1646 moved to the latter place. In June, 1654, he was licensed by the County Court, "to keep a house of publique enterteinnient at Cambridge." This license was yearly renewed until 1673, in which year he probably died, as the license "to keep an ordinary" was granted to his widow, Elizabeth, in April, 1674. She, dying in 1680, was succeeded by her son Andrew. This tavern, kept by the Belchers, was the original Blue Anchor Tavern, and stood at the northeast corner of Brighton and Mt. Auburn streets, Canıbridge Andrew Belcher (1642) was the grandfather of Jonathan Belcher, Governor of Massachusetts and New Jersey.
John Blake (1642), of Dorchester in 1630, son of William Blake, was born in Little Baddow, Essex County, England. He came to America with his parents in 1630, in the " Mary and John," and settled with them in Dorchester. He was admitted a freeman in 1644. He married, in Boston, Ang. 16, 1654, widow Mary Shaw. He removed to Boston about 1663, and appears by the Boston Records to have been "Clarke of ye Market" in 1669. He subsequently held other town offices. " 18, 12, 71," John Blake was dismissed by the Dorchester church to the Third (Old South) Church in Boston. He was a member of Capt. Sewall's (1679) company in 1684, and died without issue in 1688. His brother, William, joined the Artillery Company in 1646.
Humphrey Bradshaw (1642), of Cambridge in 1652, when he received his share of the Shawshine lands. Mr. Bradshaw (1642) resided in Menotomy, held several minor town offices, and acted on important town committees. He died May 9, 1682.
Matthew Chaffy (1642), of Boston in 1636, was a ship-carpenter, admitted to be a freeman May 17, 1637, and joined the First Church Aug. 7, 1636. He was granted a "great Lott " at Mount Wollaston in 1638. In 1644, he was permitted to build a wharf before his property in Mill-field. His house and garden, on the southeasterly part of Copp's Hill, east of Hanover Street, he sold in 1649 to John Capen (1646), of Dorchester, and bought of Dr. John Clarke, " late of Newberry, now of Boston," " one Ferme conteineing foure hundred Acres of land, lying and being betweene the river of Merrimack and Newbury River in Newbury [Essex County, Mass. ], with all the houses, edifices and buildings thereunto belonging," Sept. 29, 1649, where he lived until his decease.
