1 TUFTS, PETER, was b. in England, in 1617 ; parents and birth- place unknown. There are, however, persons bearing the name in Lancashire ; and, between Little Baddow and Malden, co. Essex, there is a village called Tuftes. Peter Tufts was one of the earliest and largest land-owners in our town of Malden ; and it is perhaps a fair supposition, that he named his home for his English birthplace. He is supposed to have immigrated 1638-40 ; and was admitted a freeman, May 3, 1665, being then an inha- bitant of Malden. He bought land in Medford, in 1664, of Mrs. Nowell, which descended to his son, Capt. Peter Tufts. His wife was Mary -, who d. 1703, aged 75. He d. May 13,

He appears, by his will, to have had a third wife, Prudence, who owned a house, which was secured to her by the marriage articles. Capt. Peter died, Sept. 20, 1721, aged 73.
