John, son of Richard Clap, of England, and brother of Thomas and Nicholas, came to New England subsequently to his brothers, and settled in Dorchester, where he died. July 24th, 1055. He left a widow, but no children. In his will

he left property to the town of Dorchester, which has since proved very valuable.
It will be seen by the foregoing that there were five of the name who were among the early settlers : - Edward and Roger, who were brothers, and Thomas, Nicholas and John, who were also brothers, and cousins to the two former .* All of them came to Dorchester, and all of their children were born there, excepting those of Thomas ; yet, of those now liv- ing in that town (and there are about thirty-five voters), all the voters but one are descendants of Nicholas. The posterity of Thomas, of Scituate, are probably the most numerous, and those of Roger the next. Taken as a whole, they have lived quiet and peaceable lives ; but there have been among them those fond of the varieties of life, rovers, and sons of Mars; and all parts of the earth have contained some of their num- ber.
We have thus given a brief outline of the lives of Capt. Roger Clap, and of his relatives of the name. They, with their cotemporaries, have long since joined the great congre- gation of the departed, and sleep with their fathers. Many were their virtues, which shone out from beneath every press- ure of adversity. They bore their hardships with the firmness of martyrs. They left the sepulchres of their fathers, and all they held dear, for this land of their adoption, being too full of the true spirit of man to bow the knee to hierarchs or kings. "They built altars to the living God, where before ascended but the smoke of idolatrous sacrifices ; " and sub- dued a wilderness which now blossoms like the rose. This
* There was also another person of the name, who came to Philadel- phia during the early settlement of the country; he was an emigrant from Hesse Cassel, a province in Germany. Two of his sons, Lewis and George, settled in North Carolina, where the name has become one of the most numerous in the state. The descendants of this man are also scattered through the states of Tennessee, Ohio, Indiana, Mis- suuri and Illinois. The oldler generations of these spelled their nam?

generation is reaping the fruit of their toil and self-denial, and their counsels of wisdom are a rich inheritance. May the mantle of charity cover their faults, and their memory be as enduring as their virtues.
At the head of this article is a fac simile of the signature of Capt. Clap, from the Town Records of Dorchester, under date of the " seventh day of the twelfth month," in the year 1641.

BROMFIELD AND PHILLIPS. (p. 56.)
The BROMFIELD family is first heard of in Wales, where, in the time of Edward the 2d, it had extensive possessions. We next find it in Derbyshire, whence a younger son, William Bromfield, removed to London, and became, in the reign of Elizabeth, lieutenant of ordnance in the Tower ; he acquired, by marriage, large estates in Norfolk, where, before, a branch of the family had been settled, to whom, in the seventh year of Edward the Sixth (1. D. 1553), an augmentation of their coat-armor was granted. Sir Edward Bromfield was mayor

of London, 1635. Arthur, son of William, and grandson of the above-named William Brownfield, removed to Hampshire county ; and his eldest son, Henry, married Frances, daughter of Thomas Kempe, of Ginne, in Hampshire ; from this couple the American Bromfields descended.
Hon. EDWARD BROMFIELD, the first of the name on this side the ocean, was born at Haywood House, the seat of the fam- ily, near New Forest, Hampshire, January 10, 1649, being the third son of Henry, who was the son of Arthur Bromfield, Esq. He served his apprenticeship to a merchant in London ; was, while a youth, intimate with Baster and the leading nonconformists, and came to Massachusetts 1675. He was selectman of Boston, representative, and of the governor's council from 1703 to 1728, and lived where the Bromfield House now stands. The only child of his Erst marriage, to Mrs. Elizabeth Brading, died without issue. llis second wife was Mary, daughter of Rev. Samuel Danforth, of Roxbury, and granddaughter of Rev. John Wilson, of Boston. They were married June 4, 1683. He died June 2, 1734, aged 86. Ilis wife survived him but a few months, dying October 7, 1734.

The EDWARD BROMFIELD mentioned above, who died in 1746, was graduated at Harvard College in the year 1745, and was remarkable not only for his excellent character and dispo- sition, but, according to an account of him from the pen of Rev. T. Prince, in the American Magazine for December,

1746, for rare genius and accomplishments. In his sketches from nature he showed a fine taste, and great command of the pencil ; his knowledge of mathematics was remarkable for his years, while his skill and genius as a mechanic and inventor promised a ripe harvest, had his life been spared. He left maps, executed most accurately, and with the greatest deli- entey, in all the various styles of projection, by his own hand ; curious dials, of a new pattern ; many optieal instruments, of his own devising. He had invented, for his own us?, a new sys- tem of short hand ; his taste in music was rare, and, for amuse- ment, he made, with his own hands, a fine organ, with two rows of keys, and many hundred pipes, - planned for twelve hun- dred, when finished, but his death intervened before he fully car- ried out his design. The workmanship of these keys and pipes was exceedingly nice and curious, much superior to any that had been imported ; and a late History of Music adds that " this was the first organ crer built in this country." It is an additional proof of his skill and genius that he had but looked a few times into the inside works of some organs imported from England. Opties was, however, we are told, his favorite science ; and he asserted that he knew a way of making the rays of the sun sufficient to warm a parlor in the coldest weather ; and, from the statement of the magazine, he would seem to have almost set out on the road since so diligently trodden by Agassiz, in his minute investigations of animal and vegetable life. "At a time when such tastes were rare in this country, the loss of his genius and patient industry must have been a great one to the community.
The HON. WILLIAM PHILLIPS, above mentioned, into the wissession of whose descendants this tomb has passed, belonged to the Phillips family which springs from the Rev. GEORGE PHILLIPS, of Watertown, who was the son of Christopher Phillips, and born in Norfolk county, England, 1593; edu- cated at Tittleshall, in that county ; graduated at Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge, 1617 ; came with Gov.

BRATTLE. (p. 148.)
The BRATTLE family was so well known, in colonial times, for wealth, publie spirit, and distinction in scientific pursuits, that we need not swell our little volume by transcribing what will be found in all the biographical dictionaries. A few items, therefore, of its early genealogy, are all we shall give.
THOMAS BRATTLE, the first of the name in this country, came, probably, judging from his inventory, from Goodhurst, in Eng- land, arriving here in 1638. He married Elizabeth, eldest daughter of William Ting, by his second wife, Elizabeth Coyt- more, only daughter of Rowland Coytmore and Katherine Myles. (See MISS. of Rev. William Brattle ; Suffolk Derds, Lin. 4, pp. 5 and 89; and " Estates," at state-house, vol. 1, p. 185.)

The following is an answer to a vote of the First Church of Christ in Boston, from Rev. Thomas Bridge, dated March 31, 1705.
" DEARLY BELOVED: I have entertained your former invitation, and this also, with fear and trembling, being sensible of the greatness of the work, and my manifest infirmities : but I am not my own : and my encouragement is, that the grace of Christ is sufficient for me. I have therefore solemnly, freely and entirely resigned myself up to his dis- pose, and find satisfaction therein. I bless his glorious name for the acceptance my labors have found amongst you; and looking upon it, as his work, that you have hearts inclined to give ine this call. I there- fore thankfully and willingly accept it.
"THOMAS BRIDGE." . Ch. Rec ..
In the unsuccessful expedition which, in 1707, was made against Port Royal, he was appointed by the Governor and Council to accompany the commissioners. June 5, the church voted its consent to his compliance. Hle sailed from Boston July 5, and returned on the first of September following. " Mr. Bridge was upright in his dealings, of kind affections, devout in his habits, and irreproachable in morals ; prayer was his gift, and the Bible his library ; and so sincere and strong were his expressions of humility, that he frequently kindled a blush on the cheek of the froward man, and shamed the ambitious out of their love of distinction. He received the degree of Master of Arts, in 1712, from Harvard College ; his name is affixed to the class which was graduated in 1675:" Rev. Mr. Thomas Bridge, senior pastor of the First Church, died, in the fifty-ninth year of his age, and the eleventh of his ministry in this church, 26th September, 1715 (Ch. Rec.) Dr. Cotton Mather says of him, " Being invited to the pastoral care of a flock whose famous predecessors were to be suc- ceeded, the light was fixed in a candlestick, and shone for cleven years together, some of the rays of which we have in his printed compositions." Ile was not easily excited; yet his patriotism was warm, and he omitted no opportunity to manifest his love for the civil and religions liberties of the

country. "Rev. Mr. Thomas Bridge died suddenly, on Sept. 26th, 1715. " His funeral sermon was preached by Rev. Dr. Colman ; his remains were treated with particular respect." The church voted to pay his funeral charges, which amounted to £104."
Mrs. Elizabeth Bridge, reliet of Rev. Mr. Thomas Bridge, died May 22d, 1722.
Upon the records of the First Church we find, Sarah Bridge, daughter of the pastor, born March Ist, 1705, bap. March 4.

"Thomas Bridge, son of Thomas and his wife, Elizabeth Bridge, born October 31st, 1,09, at six o'clock in the morning. Bap. November 6th, 1709." The birth of a son was considered a very important event in this fiquily, as there had been a great deficiency in male heirs. Mr. Bridge made arrangements with his family in England that this son should be educated in England. His only brother canie to America for the boy, who died very young, of the small-pox. No male of this family in America.
His first place of residence in North America was West Jer- sey, where he came, with his wife and four daughters : Eliza- beth, Ellen, Lydia, Copia.
