CUSHMAN .- Robert Cushman was among the Plymouth pilgrims : he set sail from England in the ship called the Speed- well in company with the May Flower in 1620, but by reason of
1

DELANO .- EATON .- FAUNCE .- FORD.
leakage the ship put back, and he came the next year, 1621, in the ship Fortune : he remained here but about one month, when he returned to England and d. a. 1625 or 1626 : his family came after his death, and his descendants are now numerous in the country. He was author of the primitive lay Sermon.
Thomas (s. of the above) born 1607, lived in Governor Brad- ford's family, having been left there by his father when he sailed for Eng .; m. Mary, D. of Isaac Allerton : he d. 1691 ; she 1699: he had Thomas, Isaac 1649, Elkanah, Eleazar, Sarah, and Lydia. Isaac was the first minister of Plympton, and d. 1732 .- Sarah m. a Mr. Hook .- Lydia m. a Mr. Harlow.
DELANO .- Philip Delano came over in the second ship, the Fortune, 1621, was in Duxbury between 1645 and 1650, and one of the original proprietors of Bridgewater, and sold his share to Nicholas Byram. The name on the early records was sometimes written De la Noye, hence he was supposed to be of French ori- gin, and one of the French protestants, who attached himself to the pilgrims at Leyden, and came over with them. He m. Hes- ter Dewsberry, and had Samuel, Thomas, and John, and was probably ancestor of the numerous families of the name still residing at Duxbury, and other towns both in the counties of Plymouth and Bristol, as well as in other parts of the country.
EATON .- Samuel Eaton was one of the original proprietors of Bridgewater, was no doubt son of Francis Eaton, who came over in the May Flower 1620, whose wife was Christian, and whose children were in 1627 Samuel and Rachel. Samuel set- tled probably in Duxbury : he must have been there between 1645 and 1650 .- Francis had afterwards other children doubt- less, and his descendants are still in Middleborough and various other towns and sections of the country.
FAUNCE .- John and Manasseh Faunce arrived at Plymouth in the third ship, the Ann, in 1623. We have met with no fur- ther notice of Manasseh.
John Faunce m. Patience, D. of George Morton, and had Thomas 1646, and Priscilla, and perhaps others. Priscilla m. Joseph Warren about 1650 .- Mary Faunce m. William Harlow 1658 .- Mercy Faunce m. Nathaniel Holmes 1662 .- These two might also have been Ds. of John.
Thomas (s. of the above) was the distinguished Elder of Ply- mouth Church, and d. 1745 very aged : he had Patience 1673, John 1678, Martha 1680. Many descendants of these respecta- ble ancestors are remaining in different parts of the County.
FORD .- William Ford was one of the original proprietors of Bridgewater ; was son no doubt of wid. Ford, who arrived in the Fortune 1621 with three children, viz : William, Martha, and John ; and it is said she had a son born the day the ship arrived : how long had she been a widow ? William Ford sen'r, on the military-roll at Marshfield 1643, d. 1676, æ. 72; his wid. Anna : his children were William, Michael, Margaret, and Milicent ; one of them wife of John Carver ; his grand children were John,

FORD .- HALL .- HOBART.
and William Ford, and John Carver .- Martha, D. of wid. Ford, m. Wm. Nelson 1640 .- William Ford, the proprietor of Bridge- water, whoever he was, must have been in Duxbury between 1645 and 1650. The name is still common in Marshfield, Abing- ton, and other parts of the County.
HALL .- Edward Hall, one of the original proprietors of Bridgewater, was of course an inhabitant of Duxbury before 1650. We have no particular account of him or his family .- Joseph HIall of Yarmouth m. wid. Mary Morton, relict of John Morton : she was a Faunce : Morton died of a grievous wound 1709. The name is still common in the old colony. There was an Edward Hall at Cambridge 1636.
HOBART .- Edmund Hobart with his wife and son Joshua, and Ds. Rebeckah and Sarah, and his servant Henry Gibbs, came from Hingham, Old England, and settled here in Hingham, New England, 1633 : his ss. Edmund, Thomas, and Rev. Peter, also soon followed him, the two former the same year, and the last in 1635 : they first lived in Charlestown ; but when the Rev. Peter arrived with a number of his church, they soon began to explore the country, and went up a small river at the bottom of Boston Bay, now called Hingham Cove, where they found a few of their friends, whom they immediately joined, being pleased with the situation, and at once concluded to settle there, and called the place Hingham, from whence the Hobart family had all come excepting Thomas, who came from a place called Windham, near old Hingham : he d. 1646; she 1649: her name is not given. One of the Ds. m. a Beal, and a sister of Edmund sen'r. in. a Gilman (probably Edward). The Rev. Peter in his church records speaks of his father and mother Hobart, and David, son of Peter, who continued the records after his father Peter's death, mentions his great aunt Gilman, and the deaths of his uncle Edmund and Thomas (and their wives, calling them also his aunts), whence we are confirmed in the knowledge of their being sons of Edmund sen'r.
2. Edmund (s. of the above) with his wife Elizabeth arrived in 1633: she d. 1675 ; he Feb. 1686, æ. 82 ; his will, dated 1684, calls himself Weaver : their children were Elizabeth, Sarah 1640, John 1642, Samuel 1645, Martha 1647, Daniel 1649.

Joseph Basset of Bridgewater 1677 .- Mary Hobart 1638 who m. John Hugh 1664 might also have been his D.
3. Thomas (s. of Edmund 1.) with his wife Jane and three children came over 1633, and settled in Hingham : he d. 1689, æ. 83; his w. d. 1690 : he had Caleb 1632, Joshua 1639, Thomas 1649, Mehitabel 1651, Isaac 1653, Hannah 1655, Moses 1656,
