Gen. James Cudworth was a noted man in the affairs of the- Colony, distinguished alike for his modesty, patriotism, and. freedom from bigotry. He fell under the displeasure of Gov, Prince, and the Court of Plymouth, for the stand which he took: in favor of toleration, especially toward the Quakers. He was- past seventy when he took the field in Phillip's War. Deane- gives six interesting pages to his life and service.

CURTIS.
An ancient English family (spelling their name Curteis) sett. in counties of Kent and Sussex. Stephen Curtis was of Appledore, Kent, abt. 1450, and several of his descts. were Mayors of Tenter- den, a town from which some of the first settlers, of Scituate, came.
In 1590, William Curteis was Bailiff, of Tenterden and, in 1597, Thomas Curteis was Bailiff. From 1600 to 1700, the office of Mayor, of Tenterden was filled for fully twenty years by persons- of the name of Curteis; and, from 1700 to 1800, for more than twenty years, said office was filled by persons of the same name .. Miss Alice Marian Curtis, dau. of John Curtis (70), visited Ten- terden in 1898, and we quote from a letter to her father, in which she describes it as a "high town, wide streets with trees and grass, .. and very pretty old houses setting back from the street. An old" stone church, built in 1100 or thereabouts, and in the church yard lots of Curteis'. There is one tomb, where the sexton told me. there were one hundred of the family. In the chapel were brass tablets,-in the wall, marble monuments, and slabs in the floor ;. all Curtis' or Curteis', different branches of the same family."
William Curtis came to New England in the Lion, in 1632, and was of Boston in that year, and afterwards of Roxbury. He was the ancestor of George T. and Benjaman R., Esqrs. of Boston. It is said that William m. a sister of John Elliot, the apostle to the-

HISTORY OF HANOVER.
Indians. Richard, William and John Curtis were of Scituate in 1643, and Thomas in 1649, who was of York, Me., and who re- turned there. John left no descts. on record. Deane says that this John had a house near Curtis Hill, which was burned by the Indians in 1676. (This house probably stood on Washington street in Hanover, near the end of Silver street, or between that and East street). A few of the descts. of Thomas are in Scituate and elsewhere, and more of the descts. of Richard. The descts. of William are quite numerous in Scituate, Hanover, and other towns in Massachusetts. When Hanover was incorporated, no family was so largely represented or owned so much of the terri- tory as did the Curtis family.
1. William, (bro. of Richard and John) was in Scituate in 1643. We do not know the name of his w. or the date of his death. Re- sided on North river, next south of the Wanton farm, and was a member of the Second Church of Scituate.
