EELLS.
1. John, the progenitor of the family in America, was in Dor- chester, Mass., in 1630, where his son Samuel was b. June 23, 1639, and where possibly a son John was born. He returned with his family to England in 1640.
2. Samuel (s. of John1), the progenitor of all of the name in America, was with his father in England from 1640-1661. Tradi- tion says that he was a major in Cromwell's Army. He returned to New England when twenty-two years of age and settled in Milford, Conn. He was a lawyer. In King Philip's War he commanded a garrison. He m. Aug. 5, 1663, Anna Lenthal, dau. of Rev. Robert Lenthal, of Weymouth, Mass., and Newport, R. I. She was the mother of all his children, seven sons and one daughter, and d. at Milford, Conn., Feb., 1687. After

HISTORY OF HANOVER.
the death of his first wife, Mr. Eells moved to Hingham, Mass., where he m., secondly, Aug. 22, 1689, Sarah B. North, wid. of Edward North. £ He d. at Hingham, Apr. 21, 1709, and his wid., Sarah, d. at Scituate, at the home of her son-in-law, the Rev. Na- thaniel Eells, Feb. 9, 1717.
The historian of King Phillip's War says that Captain Eells immortalized his name by his opposition to the diabolical act of the Plymouth Colony, in selling Indian captives as slaves.
Brownell, in his history of Indian Races in America, says, "After the town of Dartmouth was in a great measure destroyed by the enemy, about 150 of the Indians who dwelt in the country thereabout, 'and who were not active partakers in the destruc- tion of the town, delivered themselves up to Capt. Eells, upon promise of good treatment. They were, nevertheless, taken to Plymouth, sold by the Colonial authorities as slaves, and trans- ported to foreign parts. Capt. Eells and Church made, upon this occasion, the most vehement remonstrances, but all to no purpose." The name of Robert Lenthal has been continued in this family for so long a time that a brief sketch of the original Robert may be of interest. He was of Newport as early as 1640, where he was employed to teach a public school, to be open to all children, and his salary to be paid by the public. He had been a clergy- man in England, and Lechford says that, while in Newport, he lived very poorly, but, when he became a school teacher as above, there was granted to him one hundred acres of land and four more for a house lot. The house was situated on what was known as Lenthal's Plain. He did not stay long at Newport, but, returned to England and was in charge of the Church at Barnes, County of Surrey, from 1649 to 1658, when he died. He must have been for a while in Weymouth, where he may have preached. There was a difference of opinion with the magis- trates as to his orthodoxy, so that, if he did preach, it must have been for a short time only.
Frank Farnsworth, in "The Eells Family of Dorchester," re- ferring to Robert Lenthal, says: "This man, though of good report in England, coming hither, was found to have drunk-in some of Mrs. Hutchinson's opinions." The matter was brought before the magistrates and he delivered his retraction in writing, under his hand, in the open Court. The case was a serious one at that time. It was urged that he be censured by fine, but it does not appear that it was imposed. He married twice. The first wife's name was Cicely, and the wife who outlived him was named Margaret. In his will he speaks of his daughter, who married Mr. Eells, as "Nan," and provides in said will as fol- lows : "My bodie I leave to my wife and children to see privately, without any ringing or trouble of companie, interred in the churchyard of the parish Church of Barnes, as close and neare as may be to the corner wall of the west and north side of the said churchyard and my grave appointe there to be digged at least eight foote deepe."

GENEALOGIES.
This will is an interesting one, and brief extracts are given : He makes bequests to all his brothers and sisters, sums ranging from ten to twenty shillings, and to three at least he gives a gold ring each, requiring that they "be enamelled with a death's head, and this posey inserted : When this you see then think of me. R. L."
All else in the residuary clause is given to the wife and chil- dren, the wife to have the first choice, then Marian, the second, and Nan, the third, praying that the division "may be done with- out Jarringe, murmuryinge, discontent, or unthankfulness on either parte. And withall chargeinge my two daughters to goe content with what they have, and not to give their mother aine just cause of complaint against them, but to be respective to her and rather to receive wrong with patience than in anything to doe her the least injury or suffering to be done. to her."
3. Nathaniel Rev., (s. of Samuel2), was b. in Milford, Conn., in 1678, and came to Hingham, Mass., with his father, graduated at Harvard College, 1699, and sett. in Scituate, over the 2nd Church in 1704, where he held the pastorate for forty-six years.
