MARSH.
Benjamin Marsh (see Annals) was one of the three who spent the winter of 1716-'17 in town. He does not seem, however, to have occupied the place which has borne his name until 1719 ; from which circumstance it has been sup-

posed by some that he was not a settler until that date. In the history of the home he occupied, it is said that he came from Danvers in 1719, which is probably a mistake.

MCKINSTRY, REV. JOHN.
John Mckinstry, the first of the name who came to this country, was born in Brode Parish, in the county of Antrim, Ireland, in 1677. He was of Scotch descent, and was the son of Roger Mckinstry and Mary Wilson, who lived in the neighborhood of Edinburgh until compelled by the perse- cutions under Charles II., about 1669, to seek security and repose with their Presbyterian brethren in the Province of Ulster and the county of Antrim.

He was educated at the University of Edinburgh, from which he graduated master of arts in 1712. How he dis- posed of himself for the next six years is not known ; he certainly qualified himself for the ministry, and undoubtedly received Presbyterian ordination.
He joined the company of emigrants from the north of Ireland in the summer of 1718, and arrived in Boston Aug. 4, 1718. He followed the fortunes of that portion of the immigrants that went to Worcester county. He had not long been there before his services were sought by the peo- ple of Sutton.
[For action of the town in reference to his settlement and dismission, see Annals. ]
After his dismissal he concluded to join his Presbyterian brethren in New York. On his way thither, his wife's health failing, he rested at East Windsor, in Connecticut. The parish in the eastern precinct of the town, afterward called Ellington, having no preacher, he was requested to supply the pulpit. This circumstance resulted in a suspension of his journey southward, and a settlement over that parish as its first pastor, in 1733. He continued in this situation six- teen years, and remained in the town until his death, which took place on Sunday, January 20, 1754, at the age of seventy-seven years. He preached on the Sunday previous to his death.
Mr. Mckinstry is said to have been a gentleman of good abilities, of popular talents, of unwavering integrity, a qual- ity belonging to the family.
His wife died October 25, 1762, aged eighty-one.
Soon after his settlement in Sutton he married Elizabeth Fairfield of Wenham, probably a daughter of William Fair- field, who represented his town in the general court twenty- seven years, in nine of which he was speaker of the house.
By her he had seven children, viz: 1, John, b. Dec. 31, 1723; 2, Mary, b. Jan. 24, 1726; m. Daniel Ellsworth of Ellington; 3, Alexander, b. May 16, 1729; 4, William, b. Oct. 8, 1732: 5, Paul, b. Sept. 18, 1734; 6, Elizabeth, b. May 27, 1736; 7, Abigail, b. Mar. 26, 1739.
The first two were born in Sutton, the others in Ellington, Ct.
Elizabeth and Abigail died unmarried, the latter in Ellington, May 18, 1814. Elizabeth was killed by a negro servant of her brother William, June 4, 1763,

while she was visiting him in Taunton. The negro was fond of Elizabeth, but had been made to believe that he could obtain his freedom by killing some one of the family. He therefore took an opportunity, when his victim's back was towards him, and struck her a fatal blow on the back of her head with a flat-iron. Much excitement was produced in that quiet village and through- out the county by this sad event, and a great crowd attended on his trial and execution which soon afterward followed.
John, eldest son of Rev. John, married Eunice, daughter of David Smith of Suffield, Ct., 1760. He graduated at Yale College in 1746; was a class-mate and chum of Ezra Stiles, afterwards the distinguished president of the college. He was ordained the first pastor of the second church in Springfield, now Chicopee, in 1752; the church was formed in September of the same year.
Alexander married Sarah Lee of Litchfield, Ct., and died in Ellington, Nov. 9, 1759.
William married Priscilla, daughter of Rev. Nathaniel Leonard, pastor of the first church in Plymouth, November 27, 1760. He was a physician and settled in Taunton. He died March 21, 1776.
Just before the breaking out of the war of the revolution, he was in success- ful practice in Taunton ; but, being suspected of Tory principles, became the subject of offensive remark and was exposed to insult and injury. Being in feeble health and of a sensitive nature which could not bear hard usage nor a suspected position, he thought it advisable to retire for a time to Boston, where his family soon joined him. So high was his reputation in his profession that he received from General Gage the appointment of surgeon-general of the hos- pitals in Boston. When Boston was evacuated, Dr. Mckinstry and his family went on board the fleet, which lay ten days in Nantasket roads waiting orders. During that time, viz., March 21, 1776, Dr. Mckinstry died of consumption on board the Dutton hospital ship, at the age of forty-three years, and his remains lie buried on George's Island in that harbor.
Paul had three wives : 1st, Sarah Laird of Stafford; 2d, wid. Abigail Stone, maiden name Dean; 3d, -.
MCCLELLAN.
BY R. R. DODGE.
Several families of this name came to America probably about the years 1690 to 1700; but their residence, connec- tions and genealogy are not fully known. They were of Scottish origin. One family settled in Woodstock, Conn. Colonel Hugh Mcclellan settled in Colrainc. Rev. Daniel McClellan was born in Pennsylvania, but was living in Col- raine in 1769. James McClellan came into New England about 1718, and settled in Worcester.
He married Elizabeth, dau. of Dea. Percival Hall of Sutton, Dec. 22, 1722. They had six children: John, b. Dec. 6, 1723; Rebecca, b. April 23, 1725; James, b. June 22, 1727; Mary, b. Jan. 17, 1730; Moses, b. July 9, 1733; David, b. Aug. 19, 1735.
