Bar- nard (1681) was commander of a company in the expedition which captured Port Royal, May 21, 1690; and, on p. 570, is given the account of Mr. Wing, tavern-keeper, for billeting Capt. Barnard's ( 1681) men during May, June, and July, 1690.

HISTORY OF THE ANCIENT AND
[1681-2
John Long (1681), of Charlestown, innkeeper, son of Robert Long (1639), came to America with his parents in 1635. The father, who had been an innkeeper in England, established an inn at Charlestown in 1636. At his death, in 1664, John (1681) became the landlord, and was at the head of the great "ordinary" until his death, after which his widow had charge of it until 1711, when she gave it to their son, Samuel, who sold it the next year. The tavern house was that " great house," built in 1629 for the Governor and company, which for more than eighty years was called the Long Tavern.
John Long (1681) married (1) Abigail, daughter of Francis Norton (1643), who died April 21, 1674, and, (2) Sept. 16, 1674, Mary, daughter of Increase Nowell. He died July 20, 1683.
Joseph Lynde (1681), of Charlestown, son of Thomas, of Charlestown, was born June 3, 1636, and became a freeman in 1671. He married, (1) March 24, 1665, Sarah, daughter of Nicholas Davison (1648), who died Dec. 13, 1678, and (3) Mary, widow of Adam Winthrop (1692). He represented Charlestown in the House of Deputies in 1674, 1679, and 1680 ; was one of the Council of Safety in 1689; " made a councillor by the King in the charter of 1691, but left out at the first election by the people," says Mr. Savage. He was active in military matters, and was promoted to the grade of lieutenant- colonel. He was first sergeant of the Artillery Company in 1682, and its lieutenant in 1692. He died at Charlestown, Jan. 29, 1726-7.
" In August, 1695, Lient .- Col. Joseph Lynde, one of our most distinguished citizens, was commissioned to pursue the Indians who had attacked Billerica in the early part of the month, and who had killed or captured fifteen persons. But the pursuit was fruitless, the Indians eluding the search for them." 1
Thaddeus Maccarty (1681), of Boston, shopkeeper, held a town office in Boston in 1674. He was one of the founders of King's Chapel ; present at the first meeting, June 15, 1686 ; was warden in 1695, and died June 18, 1705, aged sixty-five years. He was buried in the Granary Burial-Ground.
Solomon Phips (1681), of Charlestown, son of Solomon, married, (1) Nov. 13, 1667, Hannah Pickard, who died Feb. 1, 1668, and (2) Mary, daughter of Deputy- Gov. Thomas Danforth. They joined the church there, April 3, 1670, and he was admitted to be a freeman May 11, 1670. He was captain of the Charlestown company. Letters of administration were granted his widow, July 10, 1693.
John Pordage (1681) probably should be George Pordage. Mr. Savage mentions only "George Portage." He married Elizabeth Lynde, daughter of Simon (1658). In the Annals of King's Chapel the name is given as George Pordage. He was a merchant,

and gave five pounds toward the erection of King's Chapel in 1689. He very soon after removed from the province. His daughter, Hannah, married, Sept. 16, 1714, James Bowdoin, and was the mother of James (Harv. Coll., 1745), the president of the con- vention of 1780, first president of the American Antiquarian Society, and second Governor of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
Nathaniel Reynolds (1681), of Boston, is not mentioned in the town records from 1676 to 1680, though he is, several times, before 1676 and after 1680. Mr. Savage says " he lived in Bristol some years." His son, Nathaniel, born in 1662, would have been but nineteen years old in 1681. Probably Lieut. Nathaniel, who joined the Artillery Company in 1658, rejoined in 1681.
Richard Sprague (1681), of Charlestown, son of Ralph Sprague (1638), and nephew of Richard (1638), all of Charlestown, was born in England. In 1674, during the Dutch war, he commanded an armed vessel of twelve guns, and cruised in Long Island Sound for the protection of the coastwise trade. March 16, 1680-1, the Charlestown train-band was divided into two companies, Capt. Laurence Hammond (1666) commanding one, and Capt. Richard Sprague (1681) the other. He was a representative in 1681, and for some years after. In 1689, with Laurence Hammond (1666) and John Cutler (1681), he was deprived of his command for opposing the acts of the convention of May 22, 1689, which voted to restore the old charter, and reinstate the civil and military officers deposed in 1686 by Andros. On the day of the revolu- tion, April 18, 1689, when the conflict with Andros was being carried on, Capt. Richard Sprague (1681) led his company of Charlestown men to Boston.
He died Oct. 7, 1703, having made by will generous bequests to the church, etc., and also four hundred pounds to Harvard College.
He was first sergeant of the Artillery Company in 1683.
Mr. Whitman (1810) follows Mr. Budington's History, p. 192, and calls him " son of Richard," which is an error.
Samuel Worden (1681), of Boston, married a daughter of Gov. Thomas Hinckley, and had Samuel born in Barnstable in 1684. He removed to that town, and died not long after, for his widow married, in 1698, William, son of William Avery (1654), of Dedham.
Rev. John Richardson, of Newbury, delivered the Artillery sermon of 1681.1 He was born at Boston in December, 1647, graduated at Harvard College in 1666, and Oct. 20, 1675, was ordained as a colleague of Rev. Thomas Parker, of Newbury. His salary was "one hundred pounds, one-half in merchantable barley, and the rest in merchant-

1682-3. The officers elected were : Theophilus Frary (1666), captain ; John Wing (1671), lieutenant ; John Phillips (1680), ensign. Joseph Lynde (1681) was first sergeant ; Samuel Ravenscroft (1679), second sergeant ; Joseph Bridgham (1674), third sergeant ; Nathaniel Byfield (1679), fourth sergeant ; Nathaniel Barnes (1676), clerk : John Marion, drummer, and Edward Smith, armorer.
The relations between King Charles and the Colony of Massachusetts became more and more unfriendly. Stimulated by Randolph, he preferred claims and made encroach- ments which they resisted. The causes of irritation, both on the part of the King and of the colonists, gradually increased, until a writ of quo warranto was issued, summoning the Governor and Company of the Massachusetts Bay to the bar of the Court of King's Bench, in London. The agents of the colony, unwilling to undertake the management of a question upon which the political existence, liberty, and property of their con- stituents depended, returned home. Instructions were sent over to Mr. Robert Humphreys, a London barrister of the Inner Temple, to appear for the colony at the approaching term of the Court of King's Bench, " to save a default and gain what time he might, . . . that a better day might shine."
The new members recruited in 1682-3 were : Thomas Baker, John Ballentine, Jonathan Call, Thomas Cole, Henry Deering, John Eyre, Edward Hunlock, John Jacobs, Ebenezer Pierpont, Benjamin Savage, Ebenezer Savage, Edward Smith, Giles Sylvester, Daniel Taylor, Michael Williams.
Thomas Baker (1682), of Boston, son of John (1644), was born Feb. 12, 1654. He was, like his father, a blacksmith. He held minor town offices, and was a member of Capt. John Richards's (1644) company, and a tithing-man in 1680. The last time his name is mentioned in the Boston town records is May 5, 1685. He was second sergeant of the Artillery Company in 1696. He died Jan. 3, 1697.
John Ballentine (1682), of Boston, son of William, was born Sept. 29, 1653. He was a member of Major Savage's (1637) military company, and a tithing-man in 1680; of Capt. Henchman's (1675) in 1681 ; a constable of Boston in 1683 ; was captain of a

company in 1705, afterward major ; became lieutenant-colonel in 1710, and colonel in 1712. He represented Boston in the House of Deputies in 1726. He was ensign of the Artillery Company in 1694, lieutenant in 1697, and captain in 1703 and 1710. He was active in promoting the revival of the Company, and from his so frequently being a bondsman, must have continued a member until his death, which occurred April 27, 1734. His son, Capt. John, joined the Artillery Company in 1694. His mansion was near Mill Bridge, which, for years, at Ann Street, from its dangerous weakness, was a source of complaint by the selectmen. Col. Ballentine (1682), with others, was obliged to maintain it. His name was perpetuated in " Ballentine's Corner," Hanover Street, corner of Marshall's Lane. The latter extended from Capt. Ballentine's (1682) corner, Hanover Street, near the Mill Bridge, to the corner of Capt. Fitch's (1700) tene- ment, corner of Union Street.1
Jonathan Call (1682), spelled Cawle on the roll, of Charlestown, son of John, of Charlestown, was born Jan. 20, 1658. He married Martha Lowdon, and with her he joined the Charlestown church, March 6, 1687. He was representative from Charles- town in 1689. He was a lieutenant of the Charlestown company, and died May 4, 1713.
Thomas Cole (1682).
Henry Deering (1682), of Boston in 1663, a shopkeeper, was born Aug. 16, 1639. He married, (1) June 8, 1664, Ann, widow of Ralph Benning, and (2) Elizabeth, widow of Theodore Atkinson and daughter of Edward Mitchelson (1638). In 1678, he was fined ten pounds for refusing to serve as constable, and was a member of Capt. Davis's (1643) military company in 1680, and of Capt. Hutchinson's ( 1670) in 1684. He was clerk of the market in 1685, and held other town offices, besides being moderator of the town meetings several times, and also auditor of the town treasurer's accounts. In 1703, the selectmen appointed him "Master of the Engine Company." He was clerk of the Artillery Company in 1683, 1684, and 1691 ; first sergeant in 1685 ; ensign in 1693, and lieutenant in 1696. He was also ensign, lieutenant, and captain, successively, in a Boston company. He died in 1717.
Mr. Hutchinson, in speaking of the great mortality among old people in that year, says, "He was buried with his wife in one grave." 2
John Eyre (1682), of Boston, merchant, son of Simon, of Watertown, was born Feb. 19, 1654, and married, May 20, 1680, Catherine, daughter of Thomas Brattle (1675). He was one of the nine persons, all members of the Artillery Company, who,

with Bradstreet, Stoughton, and four others, -fifteen in all, - signed the first summons sent to Andros to surrender, when he retired with his council and friends to the fort on Fort Hill for safety. John Eyre (1682) and Nathaniel Oliver, father of Nathaniel (1701), were the bearers of that summons, to which Andros declined to yield ; but he did surrender later, at the personal demand of Capt. John Nelson (1680). He was one of the Committee of Safety in 1689 ; a representative for Boston in 1693, 1696, 1698, and 1699 ; a selectman in 1694 and 1695, and held many positions of trust and useful- ness in the town. He lived in Prison Lane, formerly called Queen, now Court Street.
.
He died June 17, 1700, and his widow married, in 1707, Waitstill Winthrop (1692).
Edward Hunlock (1682), of Boston, came over from Derbyshire about 1680. He, by wife Margaret, had three children born in Boston, the last being born Feb. 15, 1686. He soon removed to Burlington, in the province of New Jersey, whence he wrote, July 12, 1695, to his kinsman, John, of Boston. In December, 1699, he was appointed by Gov. Hamilton one of the three provincial judges, and in the first year of her reign Queen Anne, by commission dated Nov. 16, 1702, to her cousin, Lord Cornbury, Governor of New Jersey, named Edward Hunlock (1682) the first of his thirteen councillors.
John Jacobs (1682), of Hingham, born in England about 1630, was a son of Nicholas, of Hingham. He married, (1) Oct. 20, 1653, Margery Eames, who died April 7, 1659, and, (2) Oct. 3, 1661, Mary Russell. He resided in South Hingham, near the meeting-house of the Second Parish. He was a selectman in 1662, 1665, 1683, 1686, and 1689, and an active business man.
Capt. John's (1682) son, John, Jr., was a member of Capt. Johnson's company in the Narraganset campaign of December, 1675, and was killed by the Indians, April 19, 1676, near his father's house. Capt. Jacobs (1682) was engaged in King Philip's War, and for some time had command of a company.
He died Sept. 18, 1693, aged, as his gravestone in the High Street Cemetery, in Hingham, says, " about 63 years."
Ebenezer Pierpont (1682), of Roxbury, son of John, of Roxbury, was born Dec. 21, 1661. He married, Oct. 20, 1692, Mary Ruggles, and died Dec. 11, 1696.
Benjamin Savage (1682), of Boston, baptized Oct. 12, 1662, was the fifteenth child, and eleventh son, of Major Thomas Savage (1637). He is not mentioned in the Boston town records.
Ebenezer Savage (1682), of Boston, born May 22, 1660, was the thirteenth child, and ninth son, of Major Thomas Savage (1637). He was an upholsterer.

Giles Sylvester (1682), of Boston, perhaps son of Nathaniel, of Shelter Island, married Hannah, eldest daughter of Major Thomas Savage (1637), and widow of Benja- min Gillam, in 1685. At that time, he is supposed to have moved to Shelter Island, where was the manorial estate of his father, who died in 1680.

Rev. Samuel Whiting, Jr., of Billerica, delivered the Artillery election sermon of 1682.1 He was a son of Rev. Samuel Whiting, of Lynn, who delivered the Artillery election sermon in 1660, and was born in England, March 25, 1633. He graduated at Harvard College in 1653; became a freeman in 1656. He was the first minister of Billerica, settling there in 1658, and was ordained Nov. 11, 1663, after preaching there five years. He died Feb. 28, 1713.
1683-4
The officers elected were : Ephraim Savage (1674), captain ; Anthony
Checkley (1662), lieutenant ; Samuel Sewall (1679), ensign. Richard Sprague (1681) was first sergeant; Francis Foxcroft (1679), second sergeant ; William Colman (1676), third sergeant ; John Barnard (1677), fourth ser- geant ; Henry Deering (1682), clerk; John Marion, drummer, and Edward Smith (1682), armorer.
The relations between the colony and the King did not improve. The General Court urged Mr. Humphreys, their legal representative, to "use his endeavor to spin out the case to his utmost," and they sent an additional address to the King, in which they prayed that he would not impute it to "the perverseness of their minds," that they could not make the submission which he demanded.
Meanwhile, there were several indications of a desire to conciliate royalty. The cross in the King's colors had been made a pretext for not using them, but now, by order of the major-general, the captains of companies were required, "with all con- venient speed," to provide a suite of colors for their respective commands, "ye ground field or flight whereof is to be green, with a red cross with a white field in ye angle, according to the ancient custom of our English nation, and the English plantation in America, and our own practice in our ships and other vessels." The scruple against the use of the King's colors, however, still continued in many minds.
Judge Samuel Sewall (1679) was, in 1685, captain of the south company of militia in Boston. In his diary, under date of Aug. 20, 1686, he wrote : " Read tenth Jeremiah ; was in great exercise about the cross to be put into the colors and afraid, if I should have a hand in it, whether it may not hinder my entrance into the holy land." On the TIth of November, he resigned his commission, "on account of an order to put the cross in the colors."
It does not appear that any new members were recruited in 1683.

HISTORY OF THE ANCIENT AND

Rev. John Hale, of Beverly, delivered the Artillery election sermon of 1683. He was the eldest child of Deacon Robert Hale, of Charlestown, and was born June 3, 1636. He graduated at Harvard College in 1657, and married, (1) Dec. 15, 1664, Mrs. Rebecca Byles, of Salisbury, who died April 13, 1683. He married, (2) March 31, 1684, Sarah Noyes, who died May 20, 1695, and on Aug 8, 1698, he took Elizabeth (Somerby) Clark for his third wife. In 1664, he went to Beverly as a religious teacher, and, Sept. 20, 1667, a church was organized there. Mr. Hale became its first pastor. In 1690, by order of the General Court, he accompanied the expedition against Canada, and served as chaplain from June 4 to Nov. 20. He had a peaceful and successful ministry of thirty-seven years, and died May 15, 1700.
Rev. John Hale was a great-grandfather of Nathan Hale, of Connecticut, one of the martyrs of the Revolution.
The officers elected were: Elisha Hutchinson (1670), captain ; 1684-5. John Phillips (1680), lieutenant; Nathaniel Williams (1667), ensign. Nathaniel Barnes (1676) was first sergeant; William Gibson (1675), second sergeant ; John Cutler (1681), third sergeant ; Jabez Salter (1674), fourth ser- geant ; Henry Deering (1682), clerk ; John Marion, drummer; Edward Smith (1682), armorer.
Capt. Hutchinson (1670), who had held the office of captain of the Company, was probably again chosen in these troublous times on account of his personal popularity, good judgment, and special fitness. John Phillips (1680) also enjoyed universal esteem. While these two officers were not unfavorably disposed towards the King, the ensign, Nathaniel Williams (1667), was more decidedly on the side of the colony.
On the 2 1st of June, a decree was rendered in Westminster Hall, which abrogated the charter granted by James I. to the Governor and Company of Massachusetts Bay. Massachusetts, under the common law of England, again belonged to the King, by virtue of the discovery of the Cabots.
A lieutenant and governor-general was appointed, but before he could be installed Charles II. had surrendered his sceptre, as a "Merry Monarch," into the grasp of the "King of Terrors." The Roman Catholic Duke of York ascended the throne of England, with the title of James II., and the Prince of Orange awaited the turn of fortune's wheel.
On the day of the accession of King James II. to the throne, he issued a proclama- tion, directing that all persons in anthority in his kingdoms and colonies should continue to exercise their functions till further order should be taken. A printed copy of the proclamation was transmitted to Boston by Blathwayt, together with an order to proclaim the new King.
The General Court was convened by the Governor to receive and register the edict. The court was prepared to reply that the royal pleasure had been anticipated. A fortnight before its meeting, on the reception of a less formal information to the same effect, " the Governor and Council had ordered his Majesty, with all due solemnity, to be proclaimed in the High street in Boston ; which was done April 20. The Honorable Governor, Deputy-Governor, and Assistants, on horseback, with thousands of people, a troop of horse, eight foot companies, drums beating, trumpets sounding, his Majesty

was proclaimed by Edward Rawson, Secretary, on horseback, and John Green, Marshal- General, taking it from him, to the great joy and loud acclamation of the people, and a seventy piece of ordnance next after the volleys of horse and foot."
The new members recruited in 1684-5 were : Roger Kilcup, Thomas Oakes, and William Robie.
Roger Kilcup (1684), of Boston, a master-mariner, though in his will he calls himself " merchant," was probably a son of William, of Boston. Roger (1684) was admitted a freeman in 1690; married, July 4, 1695, Abigail Dudson, and died, according to his gravestone in the Granary Burial-Ground, "October 1, 1702, aged 52 years." He was a constable of Boston in 1689-90, and third sergeant of the Artillery Company in 1693. His widow married, Oct. 11, 1704, Ezekiel Lewis (1707).
Thomas Oakes (1684), of Boston, born June 18, 1644, was a son of Edward Oakes, and a brother of Rev. Urian Oakes, of Cambridge, who was president of Harvard College in 1675, and who delivered the Artillery election sermon in 1672. Thomas (1684) graduated at Harvard College in 1662, and pursued the profession of a physician. He was early interested in the militia, and became a lieutenant. He was representative for Boston in 1689, being elected speaker the same year, and the next was an assistant. He went to England with Elisha Cooke, Sr., to obtain the restitution of the old charter. The attempt to revive it was fruitless, but finally he joined in the petition for the new one. On the issuing of the new charter, William and Mary, " under dictation of Increase Mather," left out Thomas Oakes (1684). In 1705, being again chosen speaker, the Governor negatived the choice ; but he continued, notwithstanding, to hold that office. He was also, the same year, chosen a member of the council, but Gov. Dudley (1677) negatived that also. Mr. Oakes (1684) seems to have been a leader of the opposition. He was elected to the House from 1704 to 1707, and speaker again in 1706. The selection was negatived by Gov. Dudley (1677), who ordered the House to proceed to a new election, which it refused to do. As often as he was elected into the council, Gov. Dudley (1677) negatived the choice. He removed to Cape Cod, probably to be with his son, Rev. Josiah, and died at Wellfleet, July 15, 1719.
