TRASK.
Two of the name, Samuel and Josiah, appear upon the early records of the town; possibly they were brothers. Deacon Leland says : " Samuel Trask was born in Salem, and was an adopted son of a Mr. Fuller, and came to Sut- ton with him." The Fuller referred to was probably Jona- than, whose name appears upon the records in 1741.

WATERS.
Richard Waters is first mentioned in the records of Salem, anno 1636, where he has ten acres granted him. He was a gunsmith, and married Joyce (or Rejoice), daughter of Wil- liam Plaise, likewise a gunsmith, of whom the following mention is made in the town records :
" 4th-5 mo-1637 William Plaise requested a tenne acre lott & it is granted 21d-6 mo-1637-it is ordered yt mr Connants house, ground & half-acre of corn standing on the same joining next unto mr Jno. fisk shall be bought by the Towne for ould mr William Plase & the Towne to mak pay- ment thereof."
(Mem. - This house of Mr. Roger Conant, leader or gov- ernor of the " old Planters," as they were called, who had already made a settlement here before the coming of Endi- cott and Winthrop, stood on the land now occupied by the late residence of the Hon. Jacob S. Rogers, deceased, oppo- site Derby square and the town hall.)
"25-10-1637 .- the marsh and meadow Lands that have formerly layed in comon to this towne shall now be appropriated to the Inhabitants of Salem, proportioned out unto them according to the heads of their families."
In a list probably made out for this appointment, the name of Willm. Plais occurs, with the figure 2 set against it, show- ing, doubtless, the number of his family (himself and wife.)
4-10-1643, certain men are appointed as a " comitee to provide for William Plaise a convenient roome to worke in and to sett up a forge for him & wood & other necessaries to the Valew of £4,"

TOWN OF SUTTON.
"20-2-1646 Ordered that the Towne is to beare 29s of the charges towards William Plaise his keeping in his sickness and his burial & the rest to be paid by Richard Waters. The whole amounting to £2, 19s, 6d."
These may certify that my father-in-law, William Plaise, gunsmith, departed this life in Salem, this fifteenth day of the 2d mo. 1646. RICHARD WATERS.
