Peter Jethro was also called Animatoliu and Han- tomuslı. In 1650 he lived at Natick, and was one of Rev. Mr. Eliot's converts. He had a good cdu- cation for an Indian, and was held in high csteem. Gookin speaks of him as a " grave and pions In- dian." He was sent to Washakin (Stirling) as teacher and preacher to the Indians. The indica- tions are that the Indians had homes and favorite hunting-grounds, not only about Nobscot and Good- man's Hill, but also along the river course and about Cochituate Pond. Tradition says they had a burying-ground at what is now Wayland; and on West Brook, a little southerly of Sand Hill, was the Indian bridge. Probably the country was largely depopulated by the repeated plagues which devas- tated the region of Massachusetts Bay about the time of its occupation by the English. As a gen- eral thing the whites and Indians lived on friendly terms in Sudbury prior to King Philip's War. And when that war began and the town was attacked, it was mostly by invaders, and not by parties who ever had a rightful claim to the soil.


The town was settled by Englishimen. The plan of settlement probably originated at Water- town, which was settled a few years previons by Sir Richard Saltonstall and company, who came to America in the ship " Arbella."


To a large extent, the settlers came direct from England. Bond. the historian of Watertown, says : " Only a small proportion of the names of the early grantees of Sudbury are on the Watertown records ; and some who went there returned. Some, whose names are on the records of both places, were either residents of Sudbury but a very short time, or, it may be, never lived there at all."


From the town records we have compiled the following list of the early grantees or settlers, who went to the Sudbury Plantation about 1638 or 1639 :


Mr. William Pelham, Mr. Edmund Browne, Mr. Peter Noyse Bryan Pendleton, Walter Haine, John Haine, John Blanford, Ihigh Griffyn, Edmond Goodnowe, Robert Beast, Thomas Noyse, Thomas Browne, Robert Darnill, William Browne, Thomas Goodnow, John Freeman, Solomon Johnson, William Ward, Richard Newton, John Howe, George Munings, Anthony Whyte, Andrew Belcher, John Goodnowe, Jonn Reddock, Thomas Whyte, John Knight, William Parker, John Parmenter, Sr., Edmond Riee. Henry Rice, Wyddow Buffumthyte, Henry Curtis, John Stone, John Parmenter, Jr., John Rutter, John Toll, Henry Loker, John Wood, John Loker, Widow Wright, John Bent, Nathaniel Treadaway, Robert Hunt, Widow Hunt, .John Maynard, Joseph Taintor, Robert Fordum, or Fordham, Thomas Joslyn, or Jslen, Richard Sanger, Richard Bild- come, Robert Davis, Henry Prentiss, William Kerley, Thomas Hoyte, Thomas Flyn.


The following are names of persons who were at the settlement soon after it began :


Thomas Axdell, Thomas Read, John Moore, Thomas Bisbig, Thomas Plympton, Hugh Drury, Philemon Whale, William How, John Smith, Thomas Buckmaster, JJohn Grout, Thomas Cake- bread, John Redit, John Waterman, Goodman WithercH, John George, Thomas King, Peter King, Jonas or James Pendleton, John Woodward, Shadrach Hapgood, Edward Wright.


Of the Sudbury settlers who once lived in Water- town, we have the following names ; Robert Betts (Beast). Thomas Cakebrcad, Henry Curtis, Robert Daniel (Darnell). John Grout, Solomon Jolinson, Jolm Knight, George Munnings, William Parker, Bryan Pendleton. Richard Sanger, Joseph Tainter, Anthony White, Goodman (John) Wetherell, Na. thaniel Treadaway, John Stone.


Of those who came direct from England, we have on a single ship's list of passengers the names of some of the most promi. ent persons in the Sudbury Plantation, namely :

It is not certain that the young men mentioned in this ship's list as "servants," or "hired men," ever came in that capacity. John Rutter was by trade a carpenter; Richard Sanger was a blacksmith ; one had a family when he came; two others were after- ward sons-in law of the persons in whose employ they ostensibly came; and all of them took their place among the substantial men of the settlement.


It was a tradition among the descendants of John Rutter, without their having a knowledge that this ship's list was in existence, that their ancestor came to this country disguised as a servant.


The state of the times and the strictness of Eng- lish laws at that period, with regard to ships and em- igrants coming to America, might be a reason why some might come in disguise. If this was so in the case of one, it might have been so with regard to the rest.


In connection with the names of the settlers, it is appropriate to state something of their character. In attempting this, perhaps we can do no better than to say that they fitly represented the noble element that came to the New England shores at that period. They were Puritans both in theory and practice; and afar from the conveniences and luxuries of their na- tive land, songht in a new country a home remote from ecclesiastical and political strife. They em- barked for America at a time when England was in an unsettled condition, and when ship after ship was bringing to these shores some of her purest and stanchest citizens. The whole trend of their conduct is indicative of self-reliance, though they recognized all proper anthority. What the common weal re- quired they took hold of with zest ; and in their adher- ence to what they thought suitable, they showed a perseverance truly commendable. Their proceedings in town-meeting, and the manner in which the records were kept, indicate that the education of a part of them at least was good for the times; and the meas- ures enacted for the common convenience and wel- fare show common sense and sagacity.


As a religious people, they in no way lacked what we ascribe to the historic Puritan. Although com- pelled by circumstances to economize all their re- sources, and to make the most of time, talents and strength to meet the demands of every-day life, yet they found time to serve their Creator, and praise and adore Him in their forest home. Their Christianity manifested itself in their steadfast adherence to the Christian faith, in their reliance on God, and their love for His holy law.


Industry was a prominent characteristic. From the minister down to the humblest citizen, each had a share in the manual work of the settlement. Though the minister's salary was in part paid in produce,


yet he was assigned lands and attended to husbandry. Another characteristic trait of the settlers seems 10 have been their desire for territorial enlargement and possession, and for the pionecring of new places. To such an extent did this spirit prevail in Sudbury and its neighboring town, Concord, that the following law was passed by the Court in 1645 :


" In regard of the great danger that. Concord, Sudbury and Dedham will be exposed nato, being inland Townes and but thinly peopled, it is ordered that no man now inhabiting and settled in any of the s'd Townes (whether married or single) shall remove to any other Town without the allowance of the magistrates or the selectmen of the towns, until they shall obtain leave to settle again."


The settlers of Sudbury were young men, or in the prime of stirring manhood ; they were not patriarchs rear the close of their pilgrimage. Even those with whom, because of their prominence, we most associ- ate dignity and gravity, were comparatively young men when the settlement began. By the passenger- list of the "Confidence " it will be noticed that only Walter Haine had reached the age of fifty-five, and John Rutter was only twenty-two; Robert Davis, thirty ; John Blandford, twenty-seven ; John Reddet, twenty-six ; Peter Noyes, forty-seven ; John Bent, thirty-five; John Goodenowe, forty-two; Edmond Goodenowe, twenty-seven ; Thomas Goodenowe, thirty. These ages are doubtless correct, as we have in 1666 a deposition made by one of them, Edmund Goodenowe, in which he alleges that he is about fifty-five years old. Rev. Elmond Browne was in about the prime of life when he came to the planta- tion ; and Edmund Rice was about thirty-four. In fact, we find in an old petition presented at the close of Philip's War, in 1676, from a dozen to a score or more of names that may have belonged to the early grantees. Probably from a quarter to a half century passed before there was a generation of old men in Sudbury.


LAND GRANTS .- The territory of Sudbury was in part granted to the people collectively who formed the plantation and established the town, and in part to individuals. The grants to the former were allowed at three different times, and were preceded by three different petitions. The first petition met with a re- sponse November 20, 1637, of which the following is a copy :


" Whereas a great part of the chief inhabitants of Watertown have pe- titioned this Court, that in regard to their straitness of accommodation, and want of meadow, they might have leave to remove and settle a plan- tation upon the river, which runs to Concord, this Court, having respect to their necessity, doth grant their petition, and it is hereby ordered, that Lient. (Simon) Willard, Mr. (William) Spencer, Mr. Joseph Weld and Mr. (Richard) JJackson shall take view of the places upon said river, and shall set ont a place for them by marks and bounds sufficient for fifty or sixty families, taking care that it be so set ont as it may not hinder the settling of some other plantation upon the same river, if there be meadow, and other accommodations sufficient for the same. And it is ordered, further, that if the said inhabitants of Watertown, or any of them, shall not have removed their dwellings to their said new plantation, before one year after the p'antation shall be sot out, that then the interest of all such persons, not so removed to the said plantation, shall be void and cease, and it shall be lawful for such as are removed and settled there, or the greater part of them, being freemen, to receive other persons to inhabit in their

rooms, in the said plantation ; provided, that if there shall not be thirty families at least there settled before the said time limited, that then this Conrt, or the Court of Assistants, or two of the Council, shall dis- pose of the said plantation to any other. And it is further ordered. that after the place of the said plantation shall be set ont, the said petition- ers, or any such other freemen as shall join them, shall have power to order the situation of their town, and the proportioning of lots, and all other liberties as other towns have under the proviso aforesaid. And it is lastly ordered, that such of the said inhabitants of Watertown, as shull be accommodated in their new plantation, may sell their honses and im- proved grounds in Watertown ; but all the rest of the laud in Water- towu, not improved, shall remain freely to the inhabitants, which shall remain behind, and such others as shall come to them.


" And the said persous appointed to set ont the said plantation, are di- rected so lo set out the same, as there may be 1500 acres of meadow al- lowed to it, if it be there to be had, with any convenience, for the use of the town." (" Colony Records, " vol. i. p. 210,)


The Court, having granted the request for a planta- tion at Sudbury, allowed the petitioners to go on with their work, and appointed a committee to establish the bounds and make an allotment of land.


The land first appropriated was supposed to com- prise a tract about five miles square. It had for boundaries Concord on the north, Watertown (now Weston) on the east, and on the south a line running from a point a little east of Nobscot Hill along the present Framingham and Sudbury boundary direct to the Weston town bound, and on the west a line two miles east of the present western boundary.


The second grant was of an additional mile. This was allowed to make up a deficiency in the first grant, which deficiency was discovered on making a survey a few years after the settlement began, and it was petitioned for May 13, 1640. The petition was for a mile in length on the southeast and south- west sides of the town ; and it was allowed on condi- tion that it would not prevent the formation of another plantation, " or hinder Mrs Glover's farm of six hun- dred acres formerly granted." (Colony Record, vol. i. p. 289)


The third tract was granted in 1649. It contained an area two miles wide, extending along the entire length of the western boundary. The Colony Record concerning this grant is : "That Sudberry is granted two miles westward next adjoining to them for their furth' inlargement, provided it [prejudice] not Wm Browne in his 200 acres already granted." (Vol. ii. p. 273.)


Besides these three grants there were others made to individuals. One of these was to William Browne, of which the record is as follows: "In answer to the petition of Wm Browne ffor two hundred acts dew for twenty five pounds putt into the joynet stocke by Mrs Ann Harvey, his Aunt, from whom he made it appear to the Court he had sufficyent deputacon to require it, his request was grannted ; viz., 200 aers of land to be layed out to him whout the west lyne of Sudbury, by Capt. Simon Willard & Seargeant Wheeler." All this land was probably in that part of Sudbury which is now Maynard. The first tract for the plantation was purchased in 1638 of Karte, the Indian proprietor, and it has been supposed that


a deed was given ; but this is not essential as evidence of the purchase, since, in the deed given by Karte for land subsequently bought, he acknowledged the sale of the first tract in the statement that it was sold to "George Munnings and to the rest of the planters of Sudbury." In this first bargain of real estate it is supposed that Mr. Munnings acted as agent for the settlers, and that he, together with Brian Pendleton, advanced the money for payment.


The second tract was also purchased of Karte, who gave a deed, of which the following is a true copy :

From lands thus allowed, the Plantation of Sud- bury was formed. It required, however, more than the allowance and laying out of the land and the settlement of it to make it a town. A separate act of incorporation was necessary to complete the work. This was done September 4, 1639, when the Court ordered that "the newe Plantation by Concord shall be called Sudbury." (Colony Records, Vol. 1, p. 271.)
