BRECK, EDWARD. [ What follows of this original emigrant's descendants, is given, as well to correct the account in our second volume, as to add some important facts to the pedigree. To JOSEPH BRECK, Esq. of Boston, we are indebted for valuable MSS. and to the Hon. SAMUEL BRECK of Philadelphia for some important and interesting items, concerning the branch to which he belongs ; yet we are obliged to add, that our materials are far from being all that is desirable, especially in the early part, of the Breck family: being both deficient and conflicting; and calling for those ad- verbs before mentioned quite too often. Indeed we have been as sparing as we could of these terms, and if we have made wrong statements, we emm only say we have nsed onr documents with the best judgment we could.]

CLAP, ROGER, was one of the most noted and valuable men of his time. Ile was one of the first company who came to Dorchester in 1630. and one of the few original settlers who has left an account of themselves and families to their posterity. The Rev. Thomas Prince edited his memoirs, and gave the work to the public in 1731 ; to which was added. " A short Account of the Author and his family. Written by one that was acquainted therewith". It is unnecessary to add that Mr. Prince vastly enriched those Memoirs ; and for our present purpose it is only necessary to refer to them. They are now obtainable by all who may desire them, in a neat and beautiful edition, issued by Mr. David Clapp, Jr., in 1844 .- Capt. ROGER CLAP was b. 6 April, 1609, d. 2 Feb. 1690-1, æ. 82; will 19 Nov. 1690.

Jonathan, b. 16 : 11 : 1638; Hannah, 9 : 9: 1642; Joanna, 3 : 1 : 1644 .- Mr. Farnham was of Boston 2d Church, 5 June. 1650 .- There was a John F. memb. Ist Chh. Boston, 19 : 12 : 1670; also one of the 1st Baptist Chh. about 1666 .- The seven members who united to form the 2d Chh. in Boston (5 June 1650) were Michael Powell, James Ashwood, Christopher Gibson. John Phillips, George Davis, Michael Wills and JOHN FARNHAM ; all of Dor- chester, except Powell, Ashwood and Davis.
There is this passage concerning a " John Farnam," perhaps the same, in Saml. Willard's "Briefe Animadversions upon the N. Eng. Anabaptists." (4to. Boston, 1681) p. 18 -" Relating to John Farnum, we have him confessing guilty in some things, acknowledging a defect, but would not have it thought wilful nor such as any church in their imperfection may not easily fall into." " It was long ere he could obtain Ad- mission into the Church at Dorchester : & some discerning Christians ever suspected him to be such an one as he after proved. That he was deputed by them for a Deacon & yet neither the present Teacher; nor any that have been added to the Church these 20 years, either deputed or thought him fit for that office : And whereas there is but one surviving of the founders of that Church, he professeth there is never a syllable of truth in that report."
The church members seem to have given themselves a great deal of trouble about him. A " third Church meeting was held on his account, 16 Oet. 1665." In Decem- ber he was up again, and again suffered to go on probation, but he grew more and more out with the brethren ; and from a petition of his he appears to have been im- prisoned and sentenced to be banished for heresy.
