He owned a part of what is now the Common, on Boylston Street. His heirs inherited this property, and added thereto by purchase, so they were the owners of all the north side of Boylston Street. In 1757, they sold the present burial lot to the town, and later, through William Foster, a portion of this land was sold to the town, viz., the present deer park.
From Judge Sewall's (1679) papers, as quoted in the Memorial History of Boston, Vol. II., p. 108, we learn that Gen. Phillips, the Governor of Nova Scotia, was in Boston for a conference in 1719. He arrived on Sunday, Sept. 27, and Col. Fitch (1700), the commander of the Boston regiment, who had orders to turn out his command to greet the visitor, was in church when word was brought to him. He turned inquiringly to Judge Sewall (1679), between prayer and singing. "I said 'No!'" records the judge, and the colonel, " strengthened," kept his seat. The regiment, however, paraded the next day, and was reviewed by the Governor of Nova Scotia. The field-officers entertained him at dinner at the Green Dragon.

as of the Artillery Company, he was for many years a useful member. In 1731, he presented the church with a new set of flagons for the communion table. He died June 23, 1736. His will-in which he gave " £300 to Harvard College, for the educa- tion of scholars of good capacities for the work of the ministry " - was proved June 30, 1736. His inventory amounted to more than two thousand pounds. The expense of his funeral was one hundred and sixty-two pounds. He was buried in his tomb, No. 19, in the King's Chapel Burial-Ground, -the tomb now the property of the Pierce family, who descended from Col. Fitch (1700) in the female line.
John Gerrish (1700), merchant, of Boston, was a son of Capt. John and Elizabeth (Waldron) Gerrish, of Dover, and grandson of William, the captain of the first train- band in Newbury. His mother, Elizabeth Waldron, was a daughter of Major Richard Waldron, of Dover. Capt. Benjamin Gerrish (1714), of Boston, was a brother of Capt. John (1700), whose son, Capt. John, Jr., joined the Artillery Company in 1718. The family of John, of Dover, was a military family. There were six sons, all of whom held office, being either captain or colonel in the militia.
Capt. John (1700) was born about 1670, and was married in Boston, by Simon Bradstreet, Esq., Governor, to Lydia Watts, on the 19th of April, 1692. He was a tithing-man in 1696 and 1701; elected constable in 1702, but declined. He was a member of a company, with Capt. Oliver Noyes (1699), Capt. John George (1702), and three others, who, March 13, 1709-10, agreed, at their own cost and charge, to build a wharf at the end of King, now State, Street. This was the origin of Long Wharf, which on the map of 1714 (Bonner's) is represented as nearly covered with warehouses. He was in partnership with his brother, under the firm name of John and Joseph Gerrish. He was third sergeant of the Artillery Company in 1702, ensign in 1712, and lieutenant in 1714.
David Jesse (1700), goldsmith, probably came to Boston from Connecticut. He married, before Aug. 18, 1698, Mary Wilson, of Hartford, and they had five children born in Boston. He left a good estate to his wife in 1708. His name appears but once in the Boston town records. "April 19th, 1704, Mr. David Jess [1700] is chosen to serve as constable," instead of Mr. John Noyes (1698), declined.

Jonathan Pollard (1700), of Boston, son of William Pollard, innholder, of Boston, and brother of William Pollard ( 1679), was born in Boston, April 12, 1666, and married Mary Winslow, Dec. 26, 1693. Their first-born was Benjamin (1726). Capt Jonathan (1700) held town office in 1696, 1700, and 1720; was elected constable in 1702, but declined, and was chosen fireward, Feb. 7, 1711-2.
In 1708, the selectmen ordered that from Pollard's Corner, in Brattle Street, through Mr. Belknap's yard into Queen Street, should be called " Hilliers Lane."
July 3, 1721, according to the selectmen's minutes, Capt. Jonathan Pollard (1700) petitioned for a license as an innholder in the house of the late William Sutton (1695), deceased. Capt. Jonathan (1700) was ensign of the Artillery Company in 1714, and its lieutenant in 1716 and 1729.
July 11, 1726, Mary Pollard, doubtless the widow of Jonathan (1700), was granted a license to sell strong drink as an innholder on Brattle Street. Capt. Jonathan (1700) was probably a shopkeeper, also, as March 20, 1727, the selectmen "let to Thomas Clark [1733] tailor, the shop of the town on the south side of the Town Dock formerly occupied by Capt Jonathan Pollard [1700]."
His will of Aug. 9, 1725, mentions his house in Brattle Street.
Wigglesworth Sweetser (1700), tailor, of Boston, son of Benjamin and Abigail (Wigglesworth) Sweetser, was born May 28, 1677, at Charlestown.

He was chosen to town office, March 14, 1714-5, and served as tithing-man in 1705 and constable in 1716. He was chosen clerk of the market in 1726, but "refused to serve."

Penn Townsend, Jr. (1700), of Boston, son of Col. Penn Townsend (1674), of Boston, was born July 31, 1674, and graduated at Harvard College in 1693. He was a captain of a military company in Boston ; afterward became colonel, and held office in the town in 1703. He was a young man of excellent ability, whose circumstances and prospects were of the best, but was cut down so young that his own plans of life and his family's hopes were suddenly crushed. According to the Leverett Genealogy, " He went to England, and was accidentally drowned in the Thames in 1706." I
Edward Winslow (1700), goldsmith, of Boston, a son of Edward Winslow, of Boston (who was born at Plymouth about 1634), and grandson of John Winslow, of Plymouth (who came over in the " Fortune " in 1623), was born Nov. 1, 1669. Edward,

John Winslow (16 2), son of John Winslow, of Boston, and grandson of John, of Plymouth, was a cousin of Col. Edward (1700). Edward (1700) married Hannah, daughter of Rev. Joshua Moody. He served as constable of Boston in 1699 ; fireward for several years ; tithing-man in 1703 ; surveyor in 1705 ; overseer of the poor in 1711 and 1712, and selectman in 1714, declining a re-election in 1715. He was a captain of militia ; major of the Boston regiment in April, 1729, and, May 30, 1733, became its colonel, with Jacob Wendell (1733) as lieutenant-colonel and Samuel Sewall (1718) as major. He was also second sergeant of the Artillery Company in 1702, lieutenant in 1711, and its captain in 1714 and 1729. On the 5th of March, 1692, Edward Winslow and his wife, Hannah, united with the Old South Church. He became sheriff of Suffolk County, Dec. 12, 1728, and served until Oct. 20, 1743, when he was appointed judge of the inferior Court of Common Pleas, to fill the vacancy caused by the death of William Dudley, Aug. 10, 1743, which position he retained until his decease in December, 1753, at the age of eighty-five years.
Peter Wyer (1700), of Boston, son of Peter and Elizabeth Weare, of Boston, was born Nov. 28, 1682. In the Boston records his name is variously spelled, viz., Weare, Wear, Wyer, Ware, Wier, Wire, Wirer, etc.
Peter Weare (1700) held a town office in 1695 and 1696 ; was chosen constable in 1706, but he declined to accept the office, and served as fence-viewer in 1699, 1700-4, 1710-3, and 1718.
May 12, 1702, Peter Wire (Weare) (1700) was chosen constable, but, pleading his being sworn to the office of fence-viewer, he was excused by the town, and Mr. Edward Oakes (1700) was chosen in his place.
In 1713, Daniel Oliver reported to the selectmen of Boston that he had sold the old house then standing on John Matthews's land to Peter Wear (1700) for three pounds, to be paid in work.
He died Dec. 24, 1722.

330
HISTORY OF THE ANCIENT AND
[1701-2
Rev. Benjamin Wadsworth, of Boston, was the preacher of the election sermon to the Artillery Company in 1700. He was a son of Capt. Samuel and Abigail Wadsworth, of Milton ; was born in 1669. His father, Samuel, was killed by the Indians in April, 1676, when leading his company to the relief of Sudbury.1 Timothy Wadsworth (1691), of Boston, was a brother of Rev. Benjamin Wadsworth. The latter graduated at Harvard College in 1690, and devoted three years to the study of theology. He was invited, in Noveniber, 1693, to become assistant teacher in the First Church in Boston. He accepted, and continued in this office until Sept. 8, 1696, when he became pastor of the church.
After the death of President Leverett (1704), in 1724, there was difficulty in obtaining a suitable successor ; and in June, 1725, Mr. Wadsworth was invited to the vacant chair. He finally concluded to accept, but continued to preach "in his turn " to his former parish, even after his removal to Cambridge. He was inaugurated president of Harvard College, July 7, 1725. Not long after he entered upon his duties his health became impaired, and during the rest of his life was an invalid. He died March 12, 1737, in the sixty-eighth year of his age and twelfth of his presidency. He delivered a sermon on the death of President Leverett (1704), which was printed.
The officers elected were : Samuel Sewall (1679), captain ; Thomas 1701-2. Hutchinson (1694), lieutenant ; Thomas Savage (1693), ensign. Thomas Fitch (1700) was first sergeant ; Oliver Noyes (1699), second sergeant ; Habijah Savage (1699), third sergeant ; Charles Chauncy (1699), fourth sergeant ; Robert Gibbs (1692), clerk, and Samuel Marion (1691), drummer.
The following extracts concerning the trainings during the year 1701-2 are from the diary of the commander, Judge Sewall (1679) : -
" Monday, June 2, 1701. Mr. Pemberton preaches the Artillery Sermon, from Luke 3-14. Dine at Monk's. Because of the Rain and Mist, this day, the election is made upon the Town-house, Sewall, Capt .; Tho. Hutchinson Lieut. ; Tho Savage Jun. Ensign ; Tho. Fitch, I Sergt ; Oliver Noyes, 2; Hab. Savage, 3; Charles Chauncey 4. Call'd down the Council out of the Chamber, set their chairs below; Col. Pynchon gave the Staves and Ensign. I said was surpris'd to see they had mistaken a sorry pruning Hook for a Military Spear; but paid such a deference to the Company that would rather run the venture of exposing my own inability, than give any occasion to suspect I slighted their call. To Sergt Fitch, Doubted not but if I could give any thing tolerable words of command, he would mend them in a vigorous and speedy performance ; was glad of so good a Hand to me and the Company (Mr. Noyes abroad in the Gally). To Hab. S. The savages are souldiers ex Traduce ; in imitation of his honr'd father, Uncle, and Grandfather, hop'd for worthy performances from him. To Ch Chauncy, Had such a honor for your Grandfather and father, that was glad was join'd with me in this Relation. Drew out before Mr. Ushers, gave 3 Volleys. Drew into the Town-house

again ; sent Sergt Chauncy for Mr. Pemberton, who said he was glad to see the staff in my hand ; pray'd with us. Had the company to my house, treated them with bread, Beer, wine Sillibub. - They order'd Capt Checkly and me to Thank Mr. Pemberton for his Sermon, which we did on Tuesday, desiring a copy. . . .
" Monday Oct. 6, 1701. Very pleasant fair Wether; Artillery trains in the After- noon. March with the Company to the Elms ; Go to prayer, March down and Shoot at a Mark. Mr. Cushing, I think was the first that hit it, Mr. Gerrish twice, Mr. Fitch, Chauncy, and the Ensign of the Officers. By far most missed, as I did for the first. Were much contented with the exercise. Led them to the Trees agen, perform'd some facings and Doublings. Drew them together ; propounded questions about the Colours ; twas voted very freely and fully. I inform'd the Company I was told the Company's Halberds &c were borrowed ; I understood the Leading staff was so, and therefore ask'd their Acceptance of a Half-Pike, which they very kindly did ; I deliver'd it to Mr. Gibbs for their use.
" They would needs give me a volley, in token of their Respect on this occasion. The Pike will, I supose, stand me in fourty shillings, being headed and shod with Silver : Has this Motto fairly engraven : 'Agmen Massachusettense est in tutelam Sponsae Agni Uxoris, 1701.' 1
" The Lord help us to answer the Profession. Were treated by the Ensign in a fair chamber. Gave a very handsome Volley at Lodging the Colours. The Training in Sept was a very fair day, so was this.
" May 4, 1702. Artillery Company Trains. In the Afternoon went into the Comon ; Major Hobby, Will. Dumer, Ned Hutchinson, Oliver Williams and another, Listed. Major Hobby was introduced by Col Hutchinson, He and I vouch'd for him. Mr. Elisha Cooke Jun mov'd to be dismiss'd, which when he had paid his Arrears, was granted by Vote with a Hiss. Went to Pollards to avoid the Rain. March'd out and shot at a Mark. Before they began I told the Company that I had call'd them to shoot in October, and had not my self hit the Butt; I was willing to bring myself under a small Fine, such as a single Justice might set ; and it should be to him who made the best Shott. Mr. Gerrish and Ensign John Noyes were the competitors, At Pollards, by a Brass Rule, Ens. Noyes's Shot was found to be two inches and a half nearer the centre than Mr. John Gerrishes ; His was on the right side of the Neck; Ensign Noyes's on the' Bowels a little on the Left and but very little more than G. on the Right of the middle Line. When I had heard what could be heard on both sides, I Judg'd for Ensign Noyes, and gave him a Silver cup I had provided engraven - May 4. 1702. Euphratem Siccare potes. Telling him, it was in Token of the value I had for that virtue in others, which I myself could not attain to. March'd into Comon and concluded with Pray'r. Pray'd in the morn on the Townhouse, Praying for the Churches by Name. After Diner, We Sung four staves of the 68th PS. viz, first Part and the 9 and 10th verses of the 2ª with regard to the plentifull Rain on the 1 and 2 May and now, after great Drought ; Mr. Dering mov'd we might sing. Some objected against our singing so much ; I answer'd, Twas but Four Deep. Were treated at Major Savages."
