CHAP. 1.
NOAH HOBART, ye last husband of my Great Grand Mother, Priscilla Ho- bart, was a school teacher in Duxbury, Masstts, having graduated at Harvard College in 1724, and become acquainted with Priscilla Thomas, a very inter- esting young girl, daughter of Caleb Thomas, a respectable citizen of that town. Their acquaintance ripened into an engagement, & mutual promise of marriage, whenever his circumstances w'd permit him to discharge ye debts he had contracted for his education. While this understanding subsisted between them, & they were enjoying ye happy relation of affianced lovers, & calmly waiting for such improvement in their affairs as w'd justify their marriage, John Watson Esqe, of Plymouth, my Great Grand Father, being a Widower, having seen Priscilla, was much pleas'd with her, although ye serious differ- ence of nearly thirty years existed in their ages, he being about 50, & she 22 years old. Being, however, thus charm'd with Priscilla, he proceeded to Dux- bury & call'd on her parents, & made known to them his views & wishes in relation to Priscilla, & requested their consent to visit their daughter, with ye object of offering himself to her in marriage. They inform'd M'r Watson that Priscilla was engaged to Mr. Hobart, but they w'd call her & let her speak for herself, they seeming pleas'd with ye offer, as M'r Watson's circumstances were known to be very eligible.
CHAP. 2.
Priscilla was call'd, & appear'd gratified with an offer from so rich a suitor, & observed that she w'd see Noah, & talk with him about it. She convers'd with Noah, and he thought that, upon ye whole, it was not advisable for her to lose so good an opportunity ; & as he was still so much in debt for his education, that it was quite uncertain when he w'd be able to relieve himself from his em- barrassments, & be in a condition to marry her. She then concluded to accept M'r Watson's offer; and in a few weeks he married her, & carried her to his home in Plymouth. In due time she bore him two sons, ye eldest, my great uncle William Watson; & ye youngest my grandfather Elkanah Watson; & soon after, in Sept! 1731, her husband died of a fever, and left his wife a handsome young widow, of about 25 years of age.
CHAP. 3.
About ye same time that M'r Watson's death occurr'd, the wife of Thomas Lothrop Esqr, one of their neighbours, died, leaving a young infant, w'h was frequently sent to Mr's Watson to be nursed, she having also a nursing infant. In ye meantime, Noah Hobart, probably not having yet paid his college debts, did not now manifest any particular sentiments, or intentions in relation to her, perhaps also being influenced by ye contrast in their condition, she being left a rich widow.
The intercourse created between M'r Lothrop (*) & Mr's Watson by their mutual interest in his nursing infant, brought about a reciprocal interest in each other, & in due time he offer'd, & was accepted by her as her second husband. She lived with him happily for some years, & bore him three children, (*) two sons & a daughter; viz. D'r Nathaniel Lothrop & Isaac Lothrop Esqe, of Ply- mouth, and Priscilla, married to Gershom Burr Esqe, of Connecticut ; when M'r Lothrop died, & Priscilla became a widow for ye second time.

CHAP. 4.
Noah Hobart, while ye incidents related in ye former chapter were occurring to Priscilla, having been settled in ye (Congregational) ministry at Fairfield, Connecticut, had married & his wife had died previously to the death of Mr. Lothrop. At a suitable interval, subsequent to these events, he concluded to make a visit to his first sweetheart, & went to Plymouth, & again proposed himself for her husband. She was very glad to see him, & receiv'd him very graciously; and much regretted that she could not accept his proposals, without breaking a promise that she had made to M'r Lothrop on his death- bed, not to marry while his mother lived. Noah, disappointed, set out for home with a heavy heart, & having reach'd Hingham, call'd on ye Revd M'r Shute, who invited him to stop & preach ye Thursday lecture for him; to w'h he assented. After ye lecture was over, as they were going home, they met a traveller on horseback, of whom M'r Shute enquired "where he was from? " He answered "from Plymouth;" when they further enquired " if there was any news?" He answered, "nothing particular, except that old Madan Lothrop died last night." Noah's face brightened up on this aunouncement, & he turned his face again towards Plymouth; and without being able to state any intervening particulars, we know that in three weeks from that time, Pris- cilla married her third husband in ye person of her first lover, & was settled at Fairfield as " ye minister's help-meet," & ye wife of ye Revd Noah Hobart.
CHAP. 5.
The life of Priscilla at Fairfield was tranquil and happy; & it is said that she sometimes confess'd to her children, in her old age, they being also ye chil- dren of her other husbands, that ye period she lived with Noah was ye happiest portion of her life. She had no children by M'r Hobart. Her oldest son by M'r Lothrop, D'r Nathaniel Lothrop, married Ellen Hobart, ye daughter of Noah, and thus contributed further to cement this happy & long-deferr'd union. Priscilla, however, was destined to be a widow for ye third time, as ye Revd Noah Hobart died at Fairfield in ye year 1773, & left her in posses- sion of his homestead there.
CHAP. 6. [Abstract.]
After ye death of M'r Hobart, Priscilla remained at Fairfield, occupying his house & receiving ye manifestations of ye affection and respect of his late Par- ish for a period of six years, until July, 1779, when ye whole village of Fair- field was burn'd by ye English troops under ye command of Govr Tryon. Being now houseless she returned to Plymouth, & occupied ye house in w'h she had lived with her second husband, M'r Lothrop. . . . "She lived until 1796, nearly 10 years after this interview, & died in June of that year, aged 90 years.
* NOTE. On p. 315, of the same vol., Wm. Parsons Lunt writes that Priscilla Hobart married for her second husband Isaac Lothrop, and bore him four children, viz .: Nathaniel, Thomas, Isaac, and Priscilla, who was the great-grandmother of Mr. Lunt.

JOSSELYN.
The foll. relating to Abraham Josselyn, bt. in Hing. Apr. 8, 1649 (II. p. 396 : ii. 1), and his w., is from " Notes on the Josselyn family, of Massachusetts," by T. W. Harris, M. D., published in the "New England Historical and Genealogical Register" of July, 1848, pp. 308-9 :
" ABRAHAM JOSSELYN of Lancaster, the oldest son of Abraham and Bea- trice, was married at Lancaster to his wife Ann, on the 29th of the 9th month, 1672. . . . They had a daughter Beatrix or Beatrice, born on the 9th of the 3d month, 1674. This family came to a tragical end, as is related by Mrs. Rowlandson (' Narrative'), the Rev. Timothy Harrington (' Century Sermon ' at Lancaster), and Joseph Willard, Esq. (' Worcester Magazine') ; but hithì- erto the son has not been duly distinguished from his father of the same name.
" Early in the morning of the 10th of February, 1675-6, Lancaster was sur- prised by a large number of Indians, who made their attack in five distinct bodies and as many places, burning the houses in their way, and destroying the people found therein. Some of the inhabitants, to the number of forty- two, being mostly women and children, among whom were Abraham Josselyn and his family, took shelter in the fortified house of the Rev. Joseph Row- landson. This they defended upwards of two hours, during which time several of them were killed by the bullets which were showered upon it. At length the house was set on fire, and the people within were reduced to the sad ne- cessity of either perishing in the flames or resigning themselves to the savages. In their attempts to escape, all the men, save one, were slain ; many of the women and children perished on the spot ; and the rest, about twenty in num- ber, were seized by the Indians and carried into captivity. Thus perished Abraham Josselyn, as we are assured by Mr. Harrington. Mrs. Rowlandson, who was one of the captives, met Mrs. Josselyn, about the 23d of February,

in the hands of the Indians, at a place called Wenimesset, now New Brain- tree. She found her in great distress, being very near confinement, and hav- ing in her arms her little daughter (Beatrice), then nearly two years old. In the course of her captivity, Mrs. Rowlandson heard that this unfortunate woman and her child were stript by the Indians, knocked upon the head, and cast into a fire, where they miserably perished. Some captive children who were present declared to Mrs. Rowlandson that Mrs. Josselyn shed not a tear, but continued in prayer till death put an end to her sufferings."
