HISTORY OF THE TOWN OF MIDDLEBORO
[1673
HERE LYES YE BODY OF YE HONOURABLE MAJOR WILLIAM BRADFORD
WHO EXPIRED FEBR YE 20 170& AGED 79 YEARS
He lived long but stil was dojng good & in his countres service lost much blood After a life well spent hes now at rest His very name and memory is blest.
In his will he mentions giving to his son John "my father's manuscript, namely, a narrative of the beginning of New Plymouth." This history, after having been taken by the Eng- lish from the Old South Church in Boston, in the time of the Revolution, and carried to England, was lost to the American people for many years. It was accidentally discovered by Rev. Thomas Barry, the author of the history of Massachusetts, and through the efforts of Senator Hoar and our minister to England, Mr. Bayard, has been recovered, and is now deposited in the library of the State House in Boston. In his will giv- ing certain lands to his children, they were enjoined to sell the land they received " to none that do not bear the name of Bradford and be not descended from him." 1
JOHN CHASE, STEVEN DEAN. We have found no mention of the lives of these men.
THOMAS PRENCE. At the time of the Purchade Purchase, Thomas Prence was Governor of Plymouth Colony. He was elected in 1635, again in 1638 To: Prince and 1658, and continued in that office until the year 1673, when he died, aged seventy-two. He married Patience Brewster, in 1624. He had held many pro- minent offices in the colony. It was during his administration that the Quakers and Roger Williams were banished for their interference with the political affairs of the colony.2

PURCHADE PURCHASE
1667]
PEREGRINE WHITE, the son of William White of the May- flower, was the first child born in Plymouth Colony. In 1646 he married Sarah Bassett, and died in 1704, at the age of eighty- four years. He moved to Marshfield with his step-father in 1632. In 1636 he was in the Pequot War, and in 1642 was an ensign in the train band of Captain Myles Standish, and later acquired the title of captain. His life is too well known to require an extended notice. Neither he nor his descendants occupied any portion of the Purchade or Little Lotmen's Pur- chases. By his will, dated July 14, 1704, he gave one half of his land in Middleboro to his son Daniel, and the other half to his two sons, Jonathan and Peregrine.1
NATHANIEL WARREN, the son of Richard Warren, for whom Warrentown was named, was a passenger in the Mayflower. He was born in Plymouth in 1624, and was an extensive land- owner there and in other parts of the colony, and was one of the proprietors of the Sixteen Shilling Purchase. He was a member of the Plymouth militia in 1643, one of the selectmen in 1667, the year of his death, and had been a representative to the General Court for seven years. In the apportionment of the Purchade Purchase, he was assigned to lot number five, and bought John Adams's share in the Twenty-six Men's Purchase.
JOSIAH WINSLOW, whose name appears as Major Winslow, was the first of the Purchade purchasers, also one of the Six- teen Shilling proprietors. He was the son of Governor Ed- ward Winslow, born in 1628, and seems to have inherited many of his father's characteristics as one of the most prominent and honored men of the colony. He began his public life soon after he was of age, as a deputy from Marshfield. At the age of thirty he began a term of sixteen years as governor's assist- ant, and then was governor of the colony, until his death in 1680. In the Narragansett War, he was a general of the united forces of the colonies. He was for many years a resident of Marshfield, and his house, where Alexander was taken sick, 1 White Family.

is still standing.1 He had command of the military company in Marshfield in 1652, and in 1658 was appointed major, after- wards commander, of the military forces of the united colo- nies raised in King Philip's War.
Acting under authority of the court at Plymouth, he made this purchase, and with Edward Gray the Twelve Men's Pur- chase, for the benefit of those who afterwards received a title in these second tracts of land.
JOHN WINSLOW, one of the proprietors of the Purchade Purchase, was a brother of Edward Winslow, and arrived at Plymouth in 1621, in the Fortune. He married Mary Chilton, who is said to have been the first woman who came on shore from the Mayflower. He early moved to Boston, where he died in 1674.
MAJOR'S OR FIVE MEN'S PURCHASE
Other purchases in town were made from Tispequin. The first of these was the Major's or Five Men's Purchase, so called, and made July 13, 1663, Tispequin conveying to Major Josiah Winslow of Marshfield a narrow tract on the east side of Nemasket River lying between the upper and lower Indian paths to Plymouth, and extending to the Carver line.
Twenty acres of this tract having been before given to an Indian named Acomowett, he by his own deed conveyed it to the same purchasers.
Know all men by these presents that I Tuspequin alias ye Black Sachem of Namasket out of my good affection and singular respect unto Major Josias Winslow of Marshfield Have given unto him the sd Major Winslow A certain Tract or parcell of land lying and being on ye easterly side of Namasket River & is next adjoining unto ye lands formerly bought by Capt.

WILLIAM CLARK. See chapter on Early Settlers.
JOHN or JONATHAN DUNHAM. See chapter on Early Set- tlers.
JOSEPH DUNHAM was the son of John. In 1657 he married Mercy, daughter of Nathaniel Morton, and as a second wife, in 1669, Esther Wormall.
BENJAMIN EATON was the second son of Francis Eaton, born about the year 1627. He was in the family of the widow Bridget Fuller for some fourteen years, and while living with her attended school for two years. He was in Duxbury in 1648, and in Plymouth in 1650, but never lived in Middleboro.
THOMAS SAVORY is first mentioned in the records of the town as one of the company appointed in 1634 to remove trespassers on the property of the Plymouth Colony on the

Kennebec River. Here he narrowly escaped being shot by the trespasser Hocking while executing a command of Captain 1 umas Sausavoy John Howland. This is characterized in Bradford's journal as "one of the saddest things which befel them since they come." In 1652 he was an under marshal of the court, and in 1655 he received one share of the Major's Purchase. In 1670 he was dismissed from his office of under marshal for negligence, but was soon reinstated. He died in 1674. His son Thomas was killed in King Philip's War, March 27, 1676, while serving in Captain Peirce's Company at Pawtucket.1
GREAT MEN'S PURCHASE
November 13, 1663. This purchase of land was made from Tispequin by Thomas Prence, John Winslow, Jr., Constant Southworth, and William Bassett, Jr.
" The tract lies principally on the north of the River on the west side of the brook which is the western bound of Pachade neck and runs upon the south side of Titacutt river until the river winds about to the north and there it crosses and runs, at a breadth of half a mile from the river, down from the bite of the river up it to the mouth of Winnetuxet.
"This tract the court disposed of to the propriators of Pachage Neck together with Kenelme Winslow and Josiah W. in right of their brother Gilbert W."
LITTLE LOTMEN'S PURCHASE 2
The next purchase was made from Wampatuck August 16, 1664, by Thomas Prence, Captain William Bradford, and Edward Gray.
Be it known unto all men by these presents that I Josiah Wampatuck Sachem and Watchtameske Squa Sachem of Namasket have freely bargained and really sold all our lands at Namasket. That is to say, on the western side of the said

GEORGE BONUM Of BONEHAM in 1644 married for his sec- ond wife, Sarah Morton, a daughter of George Morton. He built a house 1653 at Plymouth in 1678, which is still standing, known as the Leach house. He always resided in Plymouth, and died April 28, 1704, aged eighty-six.3
JOSEPH BRADFORD, the son of Governor Bradford by his second wife, Alice Southworth, was born in 1630. In 1664 he married Jael, daughter of Peter Hobart.
THOMAS CUSHMAN, familiarly known as Elder Thomas Cush- man, arrived at Plymouth in the ship Fortune in 1621, with his father, Robert Cushman. He was at that time fourteen years of age. Five years after the death of Elder Brewster, he was appointed ruling elder of the church at Plymouth (1649).

He was the owner with Thomas Prince and others of a tract of land in Rehoboth. He died December 10, 1691, in the eighty-fourth year of his age. In his will, he gives to his son, Isaac Cushman, " one-half of my land at Namasket Pond in the township of Middleborough as also ye one-half of my right in the Sixteen Shilling Purchase so called in township above sd." He also gave to his son, Elkanah Cushman, by his will, "one-half of my land lying at Namasket Pond as also ye one- half of the Sixteen Shilling Purchase as above expressed also one-third of my meadow at Wintuxet." He was also one of the owners of the South Purchase.

GABRIELL FALLOWELL came to Plymouth from Boston in 1639, and was admitted a freeman September 1, 1640. He was a proprietor in the Sixteen Shilling Purchase and of the " Liberties of Middleberry," and there is a tradition that he was a resident of the town before King Philip's War. Savage in his Genealogical Dictionary says : "We only know of him that he died Dec. 28, 1667, aged 83." He probably had a son William, who married Martha Beal, daughter of one of the first settlers of Hingham, and who was the father of John Fallowell, who married Sarah Wood in 1669.2
WILLIAM HARLOW, known as Sergeant William Harlow, is first mentioned as of Lynn in 1637 ; and later of Sandwich and Plymouth. He was born probably in England in 1624, and his stay in Sandwich and Lynn must have been short. He lived in Plymouth, where certain land had been granted, and in 1654 he was admitted as a freeman. In 1673 and 1675 he was a deputy from Plymouth to the General Court, and was selectman for fifteen years between 1669 and 1691. He was a cooper by trade, and died August 26, 1691, aged sixty-seven.

in 1645 was chosen secretary of the colony, which office he held until his death in 1685 ; most of the records of the colony were made by him.

He was one of the own- ers of the Sixteen Shilling Purchase, and his name is among the proprietors of the "Liberties of Middleberry" in 1677. In October, 1671, he was fined by the Court ten shillings for selling " syder " to the Indians.2

He was a constable in 1661, and a freeman in 1670. He was one of the original proprie- tors of the town of Bridgewater, but never lived upon the lot assigned him in this purchase.

field. He often represented the town in the General Court of the colony, and was a man of considerable influence. Cedar Grove Cemetery, near the present meeting-house, was his gift to Marshfield a little before his death. His descendants lived in Middleboro at Muttock, in the north corner of "Great Gate," where in changing the street, a few years ago, the workmen came upon the site of the house.
WOOD'S PURCHASE
Wood's Purchase was made August 9, 1667, by Henry Wood 1 of Plymouth, from Tispequin, with the consent of his wife Anny, for the consideration of four pounds. He sold also by the same deed six acres of meadow on the south side of the path from Nemasket to Agawam (Wareham).
