We have now told our readers all the facts we have gathered relative to the establishment of the gospel ministry in our town, with the exception of the erec- tion of a house of worship, which we shall record in its proper place.
We have seen that a farm had been given the mini- ster ; that he had been assisted in the building of a dwelling-house, &c. : but we have said nothing relative to the occupation of his house by the pastor. Perhaps he kept a " bachelor's hall " for a time. Possibly he hired a housekeeper for a few years, till he could clear up his land, and lay by a little patrimony towards the support of a helpmeet and companion. There is no record or tradition that he had more than one wife ; and hence we conclude that he waited till he was almost entitled to the first twenty acres willed him by Thomas Leonard, before he entered into the family relation. The minister's house, as we have said, was not finished for some years. But suddenly the people wake up to the importance of completing it. A town- meeting was held Aug. 4, 1719; and from the records of it we take the following extracts : -
" 3ly, According to the warant for sd. meating for to Rayse monis for to finish the ministr's hous, acordingly Proseded to give twenty pounds by way of rate, & Sum by way of free- will ofring or Gift at sd. meeting.
"4ly, Voted to give ye minister twenty pounds for the finish- ing of his hous, to be raised on ye inhabitanc by way of rate. nicolas Smith, and Benjamin Williams, and Ebenezer Eddy, having given already, are to be Excepted in sd. act ; and John

" Nicolas Smith promised to Give Mr. Avery ten shilinds in two months, in money or grain, at money-price.
" Ebenezer Eddy has given 0-5-0 already.
" Benjamin Williams has given 0-10-0 already.
" John briggs, Grand Sen., promis to give five shilinds' worth of good wether brick at the kill at John Gilbard's at taunton. " Nathaniel fisher promis to give ten shilinds in two months in worck.
" John Newland, Sen., promis to give ten shilinds, - five in money, & five in worck.
" John Austen promis to give ten shilinds, - five in money, & five in worck.
" Thomas Skinner and his suns gives twenty shilinds, - ten in money, & ten in worck.
" Uriah Leonard gives five shilinds by promis.
" John briggs, Sen., promis to give twenty shilinds in worck in two months. Jeremiah Newland promis to give three shi- linds in two months. John Harvey promis to give twenty shilinds (ten in money, & ten in worck) in two months. Jo- seph Hodges gave five shilinds money, & two pare of Hocks & hinges, at six shilinds' price, in two months. John New- land, sen., or benianin Newland, promis to give five shilinds in worck in two months. Jonathan Linkoln promis to lath the west Chamber. John Andrus promis to lath the East Chamber. John Hodges, sen., gives twenty shilinds in money Mr. avery oes said Hodges. Left. Nicolas White promis to give twenty shilinds money in two months."
But what roused the people to take hold of this mat- ter so earnestly ? No doubt they have heard of the minister's frequent visits to Rehoboth, and they suspect it is not all out of pure friendship for Rev. Mr. Green- wood. Perhaps he had let drop a few words, that "it was not good for man to be alone ; " or some " busy- body " from Rehoboth, if they had such folks in those days, might have reported that there was a little matri- monial speculation going on between the Norton mini- ster and the great-grand-daughter of the first minister of Rehoboth. These are simply surmises on our part, and the reader must take them for what they are worth. On the town-books of Rehoboth is the follow-

ing entry, which certainly gives some foundation for the surmises just entertained : -
" Mr. Joseph Avery, of Norton, and Miss Sarah Newman, of Rehoboth, Published the 13th of August, 1720."
It is evident now why the minister's house should be finished. The date of the marriage of Mr. Avery and Miss Newman I have not found. It probably took place, according to the usual course of things, about the 1st of September of the same year ; but whether at Rehoboth or elsewhere, is unknown.
Mrs. Avery was the daughter of Deacon Samuel and Hannah Newman ; grand-daughter of Samuel and Ba- sheba (Chickering) Newman ; and, without doubt, the great-grand-daughter of Rev. Samuel Newman, one of the first settlers and the first minister of Rehoboth. She was born the 20th of November, 1700; and was consequently about thirteen years younger than her husband, and might have been one of his pupils when he kept school at Rehoboth.
CHAPTER VII.
EARLY SETTLERS.
" All, all are gone, the old familiar faces." - C. LAMB.
IN this chapter we shall give some account of the first settlers ; all of whom, with but one exception, are known to have been here previous to or in 1711, - the year the town was incorporated. It is very difficult to ascertain where some of them lived ; for the town was not laid out in regular lots ; but the first proprietors took up land where it suited them best, - a piece of upland here, and a plat of meadow there : and, in sub- sequent divisions, their lots were not always bordering upon those previously occupied ; so that, when we
75
EARLY SETTLERS.
ascertain where any particular man's lot lay, it is not certain that his house was on that lot. So far as we have been able to ascertain the location of the first houses, they were invariably built near to a stream or spring of water. Probably the old homesteads of some of the pioneer settlers are now covered with a growth of wood. The names of the settlers given in this chapter we find on the petition for a precinct; or the tax-bill to build Mr. Avery's house, already given ; or on a tax- bill to build the first meeting-house, which we shall give in a subsequent chapter relating to meeting- houses. We can find but few gravestones to designate the spot where these men are buried, or to tell the exact dates of their death. This fact serves to cor- roborate the saying of Pope, -
" Who builds a church to God, and not to fame, Will never mark the marble with his name."
But few of the deaths of the early settlers are even recorded on our town-books. From the probate-books, however, at Taunton, we can approximate to the time of their departure. In most cases the will was proved, or an administrator appointed, within a few weeks succeeding the demise of the individual. For the sake of convenient reference, we have arranged, in alphabetical order, the names of the settlers, relative to whom we shall now give what few facts we have gathered.
PETER ALDRICH settled at the place where Isaac T. . Braman now lives. He was one of the original mem- bers of the church. His wife was Experience married before 1702; and they had three children. Of his ancestry we know nothing. He was dead pre- vious to March 16, 1724-5 ; for his wife was appointed administratrix of his estate on that day.
Deacon JOHN ANDREWS might have been the son of Henry and Mary (Deane) Andrews, who were married Feb. 17, 1685-6; and was born about 1686. He is supposed to have been a grandson of Henry Andrews, one of the first settlers of Taunton. He lived a short distance easterly of No. 3 Schoolhouse, where Mrs.
76
EARLY SETTLERS.
David Woodward now lives (?) ; and was, for several years, a deacon of the Congregational church of this town. He married Hannah - -, and had five chil- dren. He died Jan. 28, 1763, in his seventy-seventh year. We here give his autograph, written in 1752.
John Andreser
JOHN AUSTIN was the son of Jonah Austin, jun., of Taunton ; and was born 1st July, 1671. He lived at the east part of the town, near the sawmill above Capt. T. Copeland's. His wife's name was Sarah , and they had three or more children. When he died is unknown.
SAMUEL BAYLEY lived at the east part of Mansfield. He married, Aug. 28, 1711, Elizabeth Caswell, and had eight or nine children. He died previous to March 5, 1754.
THOMAS BRAMAN, Sen., might have been the son of Thomas, who, with his wife, were at Taunton, June, 1653.1 But of his ancestry we are uncertain. He is supposed to have lived at the place now occupied by Allen D. Lane; but at what time he settled there is unknown. He married Hannah Fisher, Jan. 20, 1685-6; and had nine, perhaps ten, children. He died June 7, 1709. His widow died Sept. 18, 1714.
THOMAS BRAMAN, Jun., is supposed to have been the son of Thomas, sen., just mentioned, and to have been born about 1686; but his name is not recorded with the other children of Thomas, sen. He was dead previous to May 1, 1725. We do not know in what part of the town he lived.
DANIEL BRAMAN was the son of Thomas, sen., and Hannah (Fisher) Braman ; and was born Oct. 11, 1688. He lived at the place where his father settled. He married, Nov. 25, 1714, Rachel Cambell (probably the first couple married in town by Rev. Mr. Avery),

EARLY SETTLERS.
and had six (?) children. He died between May 22 and 28, 1753. His wife is supposed to have died in 1756, as her will was probated Nov. 29 of that year.
Deacon JOHN BRIGGS was the son of Richard and Rebecca (Haskins) Briggs, of Taunton, and was born Feb. 26, 1669 (70 ?). He is presumed to have lived near the Centre, as he used to sweep the meeting-house, and was several times chosen "Clark of ye Market." He is supposed to have been the man who was the first town-clerk of Norton. On the records he is sometimes called John Briggs the eldest, and sometimes grand senior. He married (probably second wife) Mary Burt, May 29, 1727. He was one of the original members of the church, and, for several years, deacon of the same; and died June 29, 1750, in his eighty- first year. We here give his autograph ; at any rate, that of the first town-clerk.
John Briggs
JOSEPH BRIGGS (brother of Deacon John, last named) was born 15th June, 1674. He settled near where Laban Lincoln now lives. He married (perhaps his second wife), Oct. 20, 1718, Mehitable Hall; and had three children. He died previous to Dec. 18, 1751.
RICHARD BRIGGS was the brother of Deacon John and Joseph, just mentioned, and was born 12th January, 1679. He settled at the place recently owned by Dr. Leavet Bates, deceased ; and his house is supposed to have stood where the Dr. Bates House now stands, directly in front of the Trinitarian meeting-house. His wife was Mercy, married about 1706 or 8; and they had four sons. He died about the 1st of January, 1733; as his will was proved Jan. 10, 1732-3.1
1 In the Centre Burying-ground we find the gravestones of Richard Briggs, and Mercy his wife, which say that he died October, 1741, in his fifty-fourth year; and that she died September, 1749, in her fifty-sixth year. We think the dates on these stones are erroneous.
We can find traces of only one Richard Briggs, of Norton, so early, except the son of the one whose will was proved
7

EARLY SETTLERS.
Deacon JOHN BRIGGS, Jun., is supposed to have been the son of William and Sarah (Macomber) Briggs, of Taunton ; and was born 19th March, 1680. He was doubtless the same person who was sometimes called John Briggs, second and senior. He probably lived in the easterly part of the town, and married, previous to 1713, Hannah Rocket. He may have been the man who married (for second wife ?) Hannah Wetherell in 1721. His will was probated Aug. 26, 1756; and, in it, he mentions eight children. We presume he was the John Briggs, second, who was deacon of the church.
SAMUEL BRIGGS lived at the place now owned by Benjamin Sweet. Of his ancestry we know nothing. He married, July 27, 1692, Mary Hall, and had several children. He died about 1705 (?), and his widow married Benjamin Caswell.
Capt. SAMUEL BRINTNELL was the son of Thomas and Esther Brintnell (the first settlers of what is now Mans- field), and was born Dec. 2 (?), 1665. He lived at the homestead of his father, and was a very influential man in the early history of the town, - much employed in public affairs as selectman, and representative to the General Court. I am told by Mrs. Lucilda Brintnell, now ninety years old, that his first wife was Margaret Carpenter. When she died we know not. He had, before 1701, a second wife, Esther. She died Dec. 20, 1730. May 23, 1734, he married Mrs. Elizabeth Blake, of Wrentham. He died between Nov. 19, 1735 (date of will), and Jan. 14, 1735-6, when his will was pro- bated. In his will, he names six children.
SAMUEL BRINTNELL, Jun., was the son of Samuel, just mentioned, and was probably born about 1690, and lived near the old homestead. His first wife was
in 1732-3; and he had no wife Mercy, and is known to have been alive many years subsequent to 1741. It will be noticed, that, on the gravestones of Richard and Mercy, the day of the month they died is not given. The date of Richard's death, as given on the gravestone, corresponds exactly with that of Richard whose will was proved 1732-3. No doubt Richard and wife had been dead so long before the stones were put up, that the dates of their deaths were forgotten, and thus the mistake was made.
79
EARLY SETTLERS.
Hannah -. She died March 20, 1712-13. Dec. 22, 1726, he married Lydia Briggs, and had three children. His wife Lydia was appointed administratrix of his estate, Dec. 16, 1740.
SYLVANUS CAMBELL settled at the place now owned by Sanford Freeman, probably before 1700. His house is supposed to have stood between Mr. Freeman's and Benjamin C. Wetherell's. Of his ancestry we have learned nothing. His wife's name was Mary , and he had fourteen children. His will was probated Sept. 1, 1718.
JOHN CASWELL, Sen., was the son of Thomas Caswell, of Taunton, and was born July 1, 1656. He settled at the east part of what is now Mansfield. He is sup- posed to have been the John Caswell who married Elizabeth Hall, Nov. 26, 1689. He had six children. His estate was appraised March 20, 1713-14.
JOHN . CASWELL, Jun., was the son of John, just named, and was born July 19, 1690. He settled at the easterly part of Mansfield. He was a lieutenant in the expedition to Cape Breton in 1744-5; and was, no doubt, the Ensign Caswell mentioned in Major Joseph Hodges' company ; and was soon promoted to the office of lieutenant. In the " Genealogical Regis- ter," vol. iv. p. 27, may be seen a letter from his wife to him while absent " in the king's service." Her name was Hannah, married before 1713; and they had ten children. He died 18th December, 1773. She died 6th July, 1769, in her eighty-first year.
BENJAMIN CASWELL was probably the son of Thomas, and the grandson of Thomas, sen., of Taunton, and was born Nov. 16, 1675. He probably lived some- where in the east part of Mansfield. He married, March 17, 1706-7, Mary, widow of Samuel Briggs, and had five children by her. The date of his death is unknown.
JAMES CASWELL is supposed to have been the brother of Benjamin, and was born May 17, 1681. We know nothing more of him.
JOHN COBB might have been the son of John and
80
EARLY SETTLERS.
Jane (Woodward) Cobb, of Taunton, and was born March 31, 1678. He is supposed to have lived near where Albert Skinner now lives. His wife's name was Susannah. The leaf on which the births of his chil- dren were recorded in the town-records is lost. His son John was appointed administrator of his estate, Sept. 15, 1724.
WILLIAM COBB was, perhaps, a brother of John. He lived in the easterly part of the town. His wife was Mary Newland, married Feb. 11, 1694-5, and is sup- posed to have been a daughter of Jeremiah and Kathe- rine Newland, of Taunton ; for, Jan. 10, 1700-1, John Wetherell, William Wetherell, Jeremiah Newland, Wil- liam Cobb, John Newland, Benjamin Newland, Anthony Newland, and Nicholas Smith, enter into an agreement relative to the property of said Jeremiah and Kathe- rine, whom they call their father and mother.1 I can find no account of children.
SETH DORMAN settled in the east part of what is now Mansfield, Of his birth and parentage we can learn nothing. He was probably from some town in Essex County, as there were Dormans in that vicinity. He was one of the original members of the church. He married Sarah Thayer, of Braintree, Aug. 13, 1715; and had six children. He died Dec. 21, 1741.
JOSEPH DUNHAM lived on Lockety Neck, easterly of the road leading from Elbridge G. Hunt's to the Cop- per-works. It is uncertain whether he was here as early as 1711 or not; but, as he was one of the origi- nal members of the church, we have honored him with a place in this chapter. He married Bethiah Chase, June 19, 1706; but no record of children has been found.
EBENEZER EDDY was the son of John and Deliverance (Owin) Eddy, of Taunton, grandson of Samuel and Elizabeth Eddy, of Plymouth, great-grandson of Rev. William Eddy, a nonconformist minister of Cranbrook, Kent County, England, and was born 16th May,

1676 (?). He settled near Crane's Depot ; perhaps where John or Elijah Eddy live. He married proba- bly, 1702, Mary Fisher (?) ; and had eight children. An administrator of his estate was appointed Dec. 4, 1756. His autograph was written in 1723.
Genezen
ELEAZER EDDY was a brother of Ebenezer, and was born 16th October, 1681. He lived on the place now owned by George B. Crane ; and his house stood west- erly of Mr. Crane's, near the road that leads to Daniel Gallegan's. He married, Feb. 6, 1722-3, Elizabeth Cobb, of Taunton; and had ten children. He was a carpenter. He died Dec. 8, 1739. There was an Eleazer Eddy who married Elizabeth Randall, March 27, 1701. It is possible that he was the man, and that Miss Cobb was his second wife.
JOSEPH ELLIOT lived at the east part of Mansfield. Of his ancestry we are ignorant. His wife was Han- nah -, married before 1711; and they had seven children. He died in March or April, 1752.
SAMUEL FISHER was the son of Daniel and Hannah Fisher, of Taunton, and was born 3d December, 1669. He is supposed to have lived in the neighborhood of where Albert S. Tucker now (1858) lives. His wife Lydia was appointed administratrix of his estate, Oct. 20, 1724.
ELEAZER FISHER was the brother of Samuel ; and was born 12th May, 1673. He lived near where Deacon Al- mond Tucker lived in 1855. He married Hannah Eddy, 24th December, 1696; and had ten children. He died between Nov. 16 and Dec. 3, 1750, when his will was probated. His autograph was written in 1727.

ISRAEL FISHER was born 27th March, 1680; and is supposed to have settled near his brothers, Samuel and Eleazer. He was one of the original members of the church. His wife's name was Susannah -, mar- ried before 1710; and they had five children.
NATHANIEL FISHER was a brother of those just men- tioned, and was born 9th February, 1681. He proba- bly lived near Barrowsville. He married Deborah - , about 1705; and had eight children. His will was dated March 27, and probated April 11, 1761.
THOMAS GROVER was the son of Thomas and Sarah (Chadwick) Grover, of Malden, and was born, ac- cording to records, March, 1668 (1669 ?). He settled near what is now West Mansfield. He and his bro- thers, Andrew and Ephraim, bought land in company, Nov. 14, 1702; and built their houses some forty or fifty rods apart, forming a sort of equilateral triangle. Thomas's house was where John T. Tobit now lives, on the road leading to the Christian Chapel. Andrew's house was where Rev. N. S. Chadwick now lives, on the road leading to Mansfield Centre; and Ephraim's house was on the road now leading to the Depot, at West Mansfield. Thomas married, July 29, 1697, Mary Cox ; and had three children born at Malden, and three others at Norton.
ANDREW GROVER, the brother of Thomas, was born October, 1673. His wife's name was Mary -, married about 1697 ; and they had three children born at Mal- den, before removing to Norton, and seven afterwards. He is supposed to have died about 1751.
Deacon EPHRAIM GROVER, a brother of those pre- viously mentioned, was born about 1675. He married in 1700, at Malden, Mary Pratt ; and they had four (?) children. He was for some years deacon of the church in the North Precinct of Norton (Mansfield). He died Feb. 25, 1766.
JOHN HALL is supposed to have been the son of Sa- muel Hall, of Taunton, and born 19th October, 1666. He lived in the Mansfield part of Norton, near to Cob- bler's Corner, probably on the east side of Rumford
83
EARLY SETTLERS.
River ; and was, at one time, one of the owners of a gristmill near Cobbler's Corner. He married Elizabeth King, Dec. 17, 1696. He is supposed to have been the person who had a wife Esther in 1711, and a wife Ruth in 1720; and who married Sarah Welman, March 7, 1726-7. He was one of the original members of the church. He is supposed to have been dead previous to 1738. We here give his autograph, written in 1716.
John Hall
EBENEZER HALL was the brother of John, born 19th March, 1677. In what part of the town he settled, or what became of him, we are not informed. He (?) married Jane Bumpus, June 22, 1704.
NATHANIEL HARVEY has left behind him but very few traces. His wife's name was Susannah ; and she was one of the first persons who called for aid from the town. There was some controversy between Norton and Taunton relative to her legal residence; but in April, 1713, the Court of Sessions decided that Mr. Harvey and his wife were inhabitants of Norton, and their relations were ordered to give assistance to Su- sannah.
JOHN HODGES was the son of John and Elizabeth (Macy) Hodges, of Taunton (grandson of William Hodges, who was at Taunton in 1643), and was born 5th April, 1673. He settled at the place where Noah Smith now lives; but his house was farther down towards the river. He was town-clerk for several years, and was much employed in transacting business for the town. He married Mary -, and had six children. He died Jan. 20, 1743-4. The autograph we give was written in 1739.
John Hodges
NATHANIEL HODGES was the brother of John, and was born 2d April, 1675. He settled at the place now
84
EARLY SETTLERS.
owned by Thomson Tripp ; and his house stood back from the road, about midway from Mr. Tripp's to L. O. Makepeace's. He kept the first public-house (1712) in town of which we have any account. He married Hannah Dean, and had nine children. He died (?) 3d March, 1750. His wife died Jan. 3, 1768, in her eighty-fifth year.
SAMUEL HODGES was a brother of the above, and was born 20th May, 1678. He settled at the place easterly of J. O. Messenger's, now owned by D. and S. Holman, of Attleborough. He was much employed in town- affairs. He kept tavern, from 1713, seven or eight years. His first wife was Experience Leonard, married Dec. 31, 1700. She died Aug. 24, 1716. March 7, 1717, he married Mary Allen, of Taunton. She died 21st August, 1723. He had, by both wives, seven children; and died probably in April, 1725.
WILLIAM HODGES was also a brother of those just mentioned, and was born 6th June, 1682. He settled near the common graveyard, just beyond Austin Mes- senger's, where Rev. Joseph Palmer afterwards lived. His wife's name was Hannah Tisdale, married Feb. 8, 1710; and he had two children by her. She died 7th March, 1715, aged twenty-six. His second wife was Clapp, and they had four children. He did not remain in town many years ; but probably, on the death of his father in 1719, or soon after, removed to the old homestead in Taunton, where he is believed to have died June 23, 1766.
JOHN LANE was the son of Andrew and Tryphena Lane, of Hingham, and grandson of William Lane, who came to Dorchester from England (?) in 1635-6, and died about 1654. John Lane was a shoemaker; and married, June 18, 1674, Mehitable Hobart. She died at Hingham, Feb. 15, 1690. His second wife was Sarah - About 1694, he came to Norton, and set- tled on the farm now owned by his descendant, George Lane, near the line of Attleborough, a part of his farm being in the latter town; and possibly he lived for a short time in Attleborough, as the birth of several of his

children are recorded in that town. He had twelve children ; and from him, through his son Ephraim, are descended all the Lanes now of Norton: but it is uncertain whether Ephraim was by the first or second wife ; but we think the former. He died Nov. 23, 1712. His gravestone says his age was sixty-two; which would make him born in 1650. The Hingham record says he was born Jan. 20, 1648. Doubtless the gravestone is incorrect.
Hon. GEORGE LEONARD, the son of Judge Thomas and Mary (Watson) Leonard, of Taunton, grandson of James and Margaret Leonard, who came to Taunton in 1652, and great-grandson of Thomas Leonard, of Pon- typool, Wales, was born 18th April, 1671. This family of Leonards claimed descent from Lennard Lord Dacre, one of the most distinguished families of the nobility of the United Kingdom ; and descended in two lines from Edward III., through two of his sons, John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster, and Thomas Plantaganet, Duke of Gloucester. There appears to be some ground for this claim, from the fact that the arms of the Lennard and Leonard families were the same. Near the close of the last century, the last Lord Dacre, bearing the name of Lennard, died ; and it is supposed that the late Judge Leonard - who was a grandson of George, who first settled in Norton - could have claimed the title. At any rate, there was some consultation among the Leonards in this vicinity upon the propriety of claim- ing it ; but I am told the matter ended by the Judge saying that "he preferred to be lord of acres in America, rather than Lord Dacre in England." 1 Whether descended from Lord Dacre or not, the subject of this sketch, and his descendants, lived very much in the style of the English nobility ; being the owners of an immense tract of land, and sur- rounded by their tenantry. Probably no family in New England were lords of more acres than the Norton Leonards. The ancestors of George Leonard
