Joseph Goodale of Marl., who entered into the service in the French war in 1760, where he d. His will mentions wife Susanna (2d wife) and children, Susanna, Joseph, and Martha, all under 14 years of age.
ENOS GOODALE m. 1736, Mary Angier, and had in Marl. Sarah, b. 1737 ; Ebenezer, b. 1739; and Mary, b. 1741. He moved to Shrews- bury, where he had other children.
JONATHAN GOODALE of Marl., made his will in 1758, in which he says, he is going into the expedition against Canada. Ile. must have d. soon after, for his will was proved in 1759. It mentions sons, Jon- athan and John, and wife Ketnrah, who the same year is put by the selectmen, under the guardianship of Josiah Wilkins, as a person non compos.
THOMAS GOODALE, by wife Mary, had in Marl., Rebecca, b. 1741. Perhaps the Thomas who was in Southboro' in 1749.
This name is spelt in the early records Gooddel, Goodell, Goodall and Goodeal ; but is now generally spelt Goodale.
THE GOODENOW FAMILY.
This name was common in Sud. from the first. Edward, John, and Thomas, supposed to be brothers, were made freemen there in 1640, 1641, and 1643, respectively.
1
THOMAS GOODENOW was a proprietor of Sud. 1638. He m. 1st, Jane, by whom he had his children, and 2d, Joanna. His will, proved 1664, names his brother Edmund, and John Ruddocke. He petitioned for Marl. 1656, was there at the incorporation, and was one of the selectmen in 1661, '62 and '64. His house lot was bounded on the north and west by a highway, on the south by the house lot of Joseph Rice, on the eastward by the Indian Hill, or line of the Indian Plant- ing Field. The record of the family is incomplete.

The Goodenows, living in Sud., West., and North., intermarried with the Marlborough families, and probably in many instances going out of town, render it difficult to trace them, without having recourse to the records of the neighboring towns.

THE HAPGOOD FAMILY.
The Hapgoods were in Marl. before the close of the 17th century, and have been somewhat numerous in town. This family can be easily traced to the first emigrant.

SHADRACH HAPGOOD, aged 14 years, embarked at Gravesend, Eng., May 30, 1656, in the Speedwell, Robert Locke, master, and settled in Sudbury, where he m. Oct. 21, 1664, Elizabeth Treadway. Irmedi- ately before the breaking out of Philip's war in 1675, the Indians near Quaboag, now Brookfield, manifested a disposition to treat with the English, and Capt. Hutchinson, of Boston, and Capt. Wheeler, of Concord, with a small party of men, among whom was Shadrach Hap- good, were sent to treat with them. Three of the Sachems promised an interview on the 2d of Angust, 1675, at the head of Wickaboag Pond. The English repaired to the spot, agrecably to the appoint- ment, but the Indians were not there. On proceeding further, the Indians, who had treacherously ambushed their path, fired upon them, killing or mortally wounding eight of their number. Hapgood, then of Sudbury, was among the slain.

THE HARTHORN FAMILY.
There were several persons by the name of Harthorn in Marl., whose genealogy I cannot accurately trace. They probably came from Lynn. Nathaniel Harthorn, of Lynn, had a son Ebenezer, who m. 1683, Esther Witt, probably a dau. of Jonathan and Mary Witt, b. 1665. Nathaniel Harthorn also had a son, Nathaniel, b. in Lynn. From the family names of Nathaniel and Ebenezer, and from the fact that Ebenezer Harthorn m. a dan. of Jonathan Witt, and that the names of Harthorn and Witt appear in Marl. 'about the same time, and that Nathaniel and Martha Harthorn, and Martha Witt, dau. of Thomas Witt, were offered in baptism, on the same day, Aug. 11, 1723, we have no great doubt but that the Harthorns were from Lynn, as well as the Witts. Yet their record in Marl. is so imperfect that they cannot be traced with certainty. This name is spelt Harthron, as frequently as Harthorn-a tranposition of the o and r ; and some- times with an a, dropping the r-Harthan.

NATHANIEL HARTHORN m. Martha -, and had two or three children. She d., and he m. 1728, Sarah Stevens, probably of Stow. He resided on the place now occupied by the town as the Pauper Establishment. A part of the Harthorn house is now standing.

When she was an infant of but a few days' old, her father's house was burned down, and her mother with three young children were rescued from the flames, and the infant and her mother were laid upon a bed in the open field. From this prov- idential rescue, the infant was named Deliverance.

TIIE HOWE FAMILY.
The Howes were among the very first settlers of Marl., and have been, in every period of her history, one of the most numerous families- furnishing vast numbers of emigrants for other and more western towns.
JOHN HOWE, of Sud., was one of the petitioners in 1657, for the grant which constituted Marl. He was the son of John Howe, sup- posed to be the John Howe, Esq., who came from Warwickshire in Eng., and who was a descendant of John Howe, himself the son of John of lIodinhull, and connected with the family of Sir Charles Howe of Lancaster, in the reign of Charles I.

John Howe resided first perhaps at Wat., and afterwards at Sud., where he was in 1639. He was admitted freeman in 1640. He d. at Marl. 1687, and his wife Mary d. about the same time. In 1642 he was selectman in Sud., and in 1655 was appointed by the pastor and selectmen " to see to the restraining of youth on the Lord's day." According to tradition, he was the first white inhabitant who settled on the new grant. He came to Marl. about 1657, and built him a cabin a little to the east of the Indian Planting Field, where his descendants lived for many generations. His place was situated some 100 rods from Spring Hill Meeting House, a little to the east of the present road from Spring Hill to Feltonville-recently occupied by the late Edward Rice. Ilis proximity to the Indian Plantation brought him in direct contact with the natives; but by his kindness, he gained the confidence and good will of his savage neighbors, who accordingly, not only respected his rights, but in many cases made him the umpire in cases of difficulties among themselves., In a case where a pumpkin vine sprang up within the premises of one Indian, and the fruit ripened upon the premises of another, the dispute which arose between them as to the ownership of the pumpkin, was referred to him ; and inspired with the wisdom of a second Solomon, he called for a knife, and severed the fruit, giving a moiety to each. This struck the parties as the perfection of justice, and fixed the impar- tiality of the judge on an immutable basis.
Nor was a sense of his justice and impartiality confided in by the Indians alone. When in 1662, Thomas Danforth, Esq., made a de- Inand upon the Colony for a further compensation for his services, the Court ordered that he " shall have granted him so much land as old Goodman Rice and Goodman Howe, of Marlborough, shall judge to be worth ten pounds ; and they are impowered to bound the same to him."
