GRIFFIN, CAPT. JAMES ("Lieut. in Gen. Shipley's Reg."), came to Ox. 1756, at 45 years of age, having bought the Josiah Russell place, H. 185, w. Prudence; no children are mentioned. He appears to have been a man of leisure, of a social turn. It is related that a gentleman who was often at his house was one day giving his son advice as to manners, etc., when the son sud- denly closed the talk by saying he did not think a man who spent his Sunday noons with Capt. Griffin could with grace give others advice as to manners. His inventory does not show a style of living above the ordinary, excepting that there were embraced in it " nine pictures framed " which at that day was not common. A few books were also appraised. There is a tradition that he was a sea captain from Boston, which seems probable from his will, in which the heirs of William Fairfield of Boston are mentioned. He also gave his large Bible to Samuel, son of Samuel Doghed of Boston, to Dennis Heffron of Oak- ham, £10 and his wearing apparel. He also mentioned his nephew William Mckinstry of Taunton, physician, Joseph, son of Rev. Joseph Bowman, and Caleb, son of Rev. Caleb Curtis of Charlton, and Sarah, dau. of William Campbell, to whom he gave each five pounds. He d. 17 Nov., 1769, aged 58. He seems to have been friendly with the Rev. John Campbell family and was made in the will of Mrs. Campbell her executor, but did not live to fulfil the trust.

HAGAR, POLLY, and David Waters of Sutton, m. 22 Jan., 1806.
HAGBURN, SAMUEL, an aged and yet active man in the very early history of the town, and one of whom we would be glad to know more than is possi- ble ; b. 20 Jan., 1638, son of Samuel of Roxbury, a wealthy and honored man, who d. 24 Jan., 1643, his widow m. (2) Gov. Thomas Dudley, she m. (3) Nov., 1653, Rev. John Allin of Dedham. At his father's decease Samuel received a handsome estate, and in 1660, soon after his coming of age, we find him in trade at New London, Conn. Savage says he filled in 1664 an office of trust and remained there until 1668 at least. Miss Caulkins in the History of New London says, " Another person who was at this time [1661-2] a resident trader . .. was Samuel Hackburn or Hagborn from the Bay Colony." He was received as an inhabitant, but meeting with reverses soon left the town. The records give no facts as to his family. We find him in 1709 at Oxford, four years before the permanent settlement, looking after the interests of his half-brother, Gov. Joseph Dudley. It seems probable from his relation to Dudley that he had much to do with the planning of the new settlement, the arrangements for beginning its corporate existence, the soliciting of settlers, laying out of public ways, etc. He was the first in the list of the grantees · and selected one of the best lots in the village on the east side of the main street, extending to and embracing the meadows on Mill Brook, and quite a quantity of the lands improved by the Huguenots, with two houses at least, one of which he no doubt kept up and occupied as a dwelling. But his stay was short after the settlement by the English. In Aug., 1714, he sold and removed. We find him living in Taunton in 1722, and in the latter part of 1725 he d. there. His will and inventory indicate that his means had become reduced, the total footing being but £220. [See page 52.]
