TORREY.
Barry mentions incidentally the Torreys as early settlers in the town. Deane says Lieut. James Torrey was in Scituate before 1640. We have collected such data as seemed possible. Some of these Torreys became influential in developing the resources of the town, and two of them at least built houses before 1727, that are standing, in whole or in part, at the present time.
The house in which Henry E. Chamberlin now resides at the corner of Grove and Hanover streets, was probably constructed by David Torrey about 1720, and Nathaniel Torrey constructed the hip-roofed house near the south end of Winter street.
The Torreys lived principally on Winter street, and on the westerly end of Broadway. Winter street was once known as "Torrey's Lane," and "Tory Brook" was named for one Torrey who lived on the border thereof. The remains of the cellar of the house which stood on the east side of the street, near this Brook, are still visible.
1. James (Deacon), was s. of Lieut. James Torrey, of Scituate. He was b. in 1644, and in. first in 1666, Lydia Wills, dau. of Wil- liam Wills, who lived on Wills' Island. She d. and he m. second- ly in 1679, Elizabeth, dau. of Nathaniel Rawlins. He m. thirdly, in 1701, Eunice, the wid. of Jonas Deane. Had eleven children by wife Elizabeth, four of whom we follow:
2. i. James, 1682.
