man-of-war, and was at the taking of Gibralter in the year 1704. After leaving the ship he worked at his trade in Durham, and there married. The maiden name of his wife is not known ; her given name was Betty. By her he had one child, who soon died, and shortly after, his wife also ; after which he went to sea and was engaged in the slave trade. The ship upon which he was serving having brought a cargo of slaves to Salem, in this country, he left the ship and did not again rejoin it, but commenced business at Dan- vers, where he married Abigail Moulton, by whom he had one child, born August 8, 1726, who was named John. When John was fifteen months old, he came to Sutton and built a log house on the borders of Singletary lake, in which he lived a few years, then built a house where Dea. Marble now lives, and planted the old orchard. He left Sutton and resided in Charlton a few years, where his wife died. He then returned and worked at his trade in the house of Phin- eas Putnam, where he died in February 1763, aged about seventy-eight.

CARTER. BY GARDNER HALL.
Rev. Thomas Carter was born in 1610, graduated at St. John's College, Cambridge, in 1629 ; came from St. Albans, Hertfordshire, in the " Planter"; resided in Dedham, Water- town and Woburn ; was settled over the church in the latter place November 22, 1642, and remained its pastor until his death. Johnson, in his "Wonder Working Providence," says he was a reverend, godly man ; apt to teach the whole- some truths of Christ. He died September 5, 1684, and his wife Mary died March 28, 1687. Tradition says he died of small pox. I find in the "Genealogical Register" that he claimed to have in his possession, and which he inherited on his maternal side, the bible which belonged to the great martyr, Rev. John Rogers, or one of the nine children who, witnessed and wept over his persecutions while he died and was cremated at the stake, rather than renounce a great principle which he conceived to be right; for that, let him live in history as an honor to his posterity and the world, while his persecutors sink in the deep, stagnant pool of

oblivion, or swelter in the ever seething caldron of eternal disgrace. Then why not allow me a degree of conscious pride, that an infinitesimal particle of his true blood, diluted by marriage in its transmission through the various genera- tions of more than three centuries, flows from the heart of your feeble correspondent at every pulsation, while he writes you this imperfect sketch ; for he is the first born son of Cimene Carter, daughter of Joshua, son of Joshua, son of Eleazar, son of Thomas, son of Rev. Thomas, who inherited the sacred book. The children of Rev. Thomas and Mary were :
1. Rev. Samuel, b. at Watertown, Aug. 8, 1640; graduated at Harvard College in 1660; m. 1672, Eunice, dau. of John Brooks, b. Oct. 10, 1655; resided in Woburn and Groton, chosen minister of the church in the latter place Oct. 1692, and d. in 1693. His widow m. John Kendall, and d. about 1730. 2. Judith, m.

Thomas2 (Rev. Thomas1), m. Margary Whitmore in 1682. Ch .- 1, Mary, b. Oct. 5, 1683; 2, Thomas, b. June 13, 1686; 3, Eleazar, b. Apr. 10, 1689; 4, Daniel, b. Aug. 10, 1691, m. Sarah Center, Jan. 1, 1715; 5, Ebenezer, b. Sept. 24, 1695; m. Lydia Buttes, Apr. 15, 1719; 6, Ezra, b. June 22, 1701.
Eleazar8 (Thomas2, Rev. Thomas1), m. Eleanor -. Ch .- 1, Eleazar, b. Aug. 29, 1713; 2, Jonathan, b. Feb. 17, 1715; 3, Joshua, b. June 25, 1716; d. Dec. - , 1716; 4, Joshua, b. July 16, 1719; 5, James, b. Mar. 12, 1724; 6, Mary, b. Apr. 5, 1725; m. James Parmenter.
Eleazar Carter died in Sudbury Oct. 3, 1758. His son Joshua came to Sutton and bought land of Timothy Carter in 1744 ; the deed says he was a tailor of Woburn. I learn that Timothy Carter was from the same place, and presume he was the son of Timothy, son of Rev. Thomas.
Joshua+ (Eleazar3, Thomas2, Rev. 'ihomas1), in. first, Beulalı Moore, a sister of Major Moore, who was killed at Bunker Hill. She d. at Sutton; m. second, July 25, 1750, Elizabeth, dau. of Thomas and Martha Herrick Lovell, b. Sept. 23, 1726; m. third, Abigail Nichols, Nov. 19, 1777; he died in Sutton, Apr. 17, 1782, in the sixty-fifth year of his age. Ch .- 1, Joshua, b. Feb. 5, 1746; 2, Ephraim, b.

Salma6 (Joshua5, Joshua4, Eleazar3, Thomas2, Rev. Thomas1) m. Polly Tainter, Apr. 22, 1813.
They had one son and five daughters. The son, Joel, was one of the assessors in Millbury for several years, and was also many times on the school committee. He went to Woburn to find the missing link between Eleazar and the Rev. Thomas Carter, so I am indebted to him for some of the facts here presented. He has been twice married, but has no children. His present wife was the Widow Paine- maiden name Drake. Her first husband enlisted in Pleasant Valley, as one of Sutton's quota, to help put down the rebellion ; he left one son and several daughters. They now reside in Upton.
Capt. Rufus6 (Joshua5, Joshua4, Eleazar3, Thomas2, Rev. Thomas1), m. Hannah Hall, Dec. 13, 1819.
He was a millwright by trade, and built a brick house on the old homestead, where he died May 2, 1823. They had four children : Mary, born September 18, 1820; Harriet and Hannah, born November 28, 1821; Rufus, born Nov. 24, 1823. He married Sarah Ward, whose mother was a Thurston, sister of D. T. Thurston, the late town clerk of Sutton. They have had six sons and five daughters. Mr. Carter has been town collector and one of the selectmen of Millbury for several years, and is a man of fine personal appearance and real worth.
