It may be that his wife Elizabeth (Baker) deceased after the birth of his last child. There is no record available to determine the date of her demise. In this event, correct- ly assuming that the Court was right in stating "that by reason of the alteration of the estate since sd will was first made, there is nothing really given to the children he had by his first wife," he must have married another Elizabeth

for his second. It is not going far afield to assume that if so, the new wife prevailed upon him to make a will in her favor to the exclusion of the children. The action of the Court seems to bear out this conclusion, especially, as out of consideration for the widow, the recommendation was made "that there be respect had as much as may be to the mind of the deceased in the writing presented as his will."


The Vinals have always been prominent in Scituate. They have performed useful service in the settlement and devel- opment of other communities as well. Vinalhaven on the Maine coast is named for a descendant of Ann Vinal. Major William Vinal, another member of this family, built a shipyard at the confluence of Quincy Town river and Weymouth Fore river in the latter part of the eighteenth century and built up Quincy Point to an industrious com- munity.


Gideon Vinal, of the fifth generation from Ann, was a representative to the General Court, in the years 1766 to 1774 and in the latter was chosen a member of the Provin- cial Congress which met at Salem. His cousin Israel, was one of the delegates to the Convention at Cambridge, which prepared the state constitution in 1779, and in 1783, 1784, 1786 and 1791 was a member from Scituate to the Great and General Court of Massachusetts. His brother Jona- than graduated from Harvard College in 1751, and became a preacher.


The Vinals took a conspicuous part in the town's activities immediately preceding and during the Revolutionary War. Ignatius and Issacher were both on the committee of "Cor- respondence, Inspection and Safety;" Israel assisted in drafting the patriotic resolutions which Nathan Cushing presented to the Assembly; he was a member of the first Committee of Inspection and a captain of the military com- pany. Calogus as a Minute Man marched to Lexington in Capt. William Turner's Company, and afterward served in the Continental Army for nine months from June 9, 1779. Benjamin was a Sergeant in Capt Nathaniel Winslow's com-

pany and Stephen (there has always been a Stephen in the family) and Joseph, Jr., were privates. The former was disabled in the service and drew that always-deserved and well-merited American reward of valor-a Revolution- ary pension.

THE EARLY PLANTERS OF SCITUATE


THE TILDENS


Joseph Tilden of Tenterden in Kent, England, was one of the Merchant Adventurers of London who stood steadfastly by the Pilgrims in the many disagreements which existed between the forefathers and their financial promoters, until the purchase of all the interests of the latter by Hatherly, Andrews, Beauchamp and Shirley. Two of his brothers, Nathaniel and Thomas were in Plymouth Colony before 1628, the former at Scituate, the latter at Marshfield.


Nathaniel brought with him from the old country his wife, Lydia and children Joseph, Thomas, Mary, Sarah, Judith and Lydia and built his home on Kent Street between Greenfield lane and the Driftway. Here Stephen, the youngest son, was born. In addition to the land upon which this house was placed he early had allotted to him arable land on the Third Cliff to which he frequently added by purchases from John Emerson, Henry Merritt, William Crocker and other neighbors, until he possessed much of the upland and adjacent marsh in that locality. He was among the wealthiest of the early planters of Scituate and owned large land areas along the North River, in the New Har- bor marshes at Scituate and in Marshfield. He had left a comfortable, not to say pretentious home in England ៛ for a rude dwelling here, that he might obtain the greater spiritual solace of an unhampered devotional. He was the ruling elder of the first church gathered by Mr. Lothrop in 1634. During the six years prior to its establishment when Annable, Gilson, Cobb and the others had been "orderly


* In his will he gave to his wife who after his death married Timothy Hatherley, "the benefit of one house with lands there- unto belonging, wherein one Richard Lambert now dwelleth, being in the parish of Tenterdem in Kent in Old England, during the term of her natural life. After the decease of said Richard Lambert, then my mind and will is that my two youngest children, Lidea and Steven shalbe maintained both for meate, drink and apparel and lodging by mine executor hereinafter named yet

dismissed" from the Plymouth Church "in case they join in a body at Seteat," he was active in the religious life of the dwellers on Kent Street, when meetings were held in the house of James Cudworth. It was during this period that Giles Saxton although not regularly established as their pastor preached to them, and Nathaniel Tilden "being also qualified in some degree to teache" f assisted him or taught in his absence. It was most natural that having so officiat- ed he should have been made the ruling elder" of Mr. Lothrop's congregation. He was all devotion to his relig- ious principles, yet in nowise a fanatic. An interesting side light is thrown upon his character and one which perhaps affords the reason for his settling in Scituate rather than in Plymouth by a retrospection of affairs ecclesiastical as they existed in the latter town. Robinson, though in far away Leyden, denied through the machinations of some of the Adventurers who forced John Lyford upon the Pilgrims, was still the pastor of their church. He was represented in Plymouth by Elder Brewster, who could not however ad-


so as my aforesaid wife shall have the education and disposing of them". He also gave his wife "all her wearing apparell, both linen and woolen, also one bed furnished, which she shall please to take also the great trunk, also I give unto my said wife three pairs of sheets and two pairs of pillow coates, which she shall please to take, one long table and cloth, one square table and cloth, one dozen of middle napkins and one half a dozen of other napkins, two long towels, twelve peices of pewter, which she shall please to choose and of wooden vessels so many as she shall think convenient for her use, also three silver spoons and two of my best spoons, also I give unto my said wife one piece of white fustoon (fustian) also my two shoates, also tenn bushels of corn, five of English and five of Indian, also my will is that she shall have the whole benefit of my white faced cow and the calves which she shall have during the term of her natural life to be maintained and kept for her by mine executor.

minister the church sacraments. f Lyford har been summar- ily dismissed and, "this year (1628) Mr. Allerton brought


over a yonge man for a minister to ye people hear, wheather upon his owne head or at ye motion of some friends there, I well know not, but it was, without ye churches sending; for they had been so bitten by Mr. Lyford, as they desired to know ye person well whom they should invite amongst them. His name was Mr. Rogers; but they perceived, upon some triall, that he was crased in his braine; so they were faine to at fur- ther charge to send him back againe ye nexte year." #


Both of these miscarriages of efficient teaching of the faith at Plymouth had undoubtedly discouraged but not disheartened Tilden and he came to Scituate in the same year when Mr. Rogers being put upon "some triall" was found to be "crased in his braine." It is not improbable that he hoped thus early to bring about an eventual settle- ment at Scituate, with the aid of his brother Joseph, or Mr. Lothrop whom he had known as a sound preacher in the nearby parish at Egerton. Thus he gathered about him Foster, Rowley, Annable and Lewis and their families and became in effect a ruling elder until the advent of Mr. Loth- rop made him one in fact.


He stood firmly with the remnant of this first church when its teacher and a majority of its members removed to Barnstable.


There is no record that at any time he held civil office in either town or colony. He devoted himself to clearing and tilling the lands which he acquired and stocking them with cattle, hogs and bees. He died in 1641.


+ "Now touching the question propounded by you, I judge it not lawful for you, being a ruling elder, as Rom. XII 7, 8, and 1 Tim. V17, opposed to the elders that teach and exhort and labor in the word and doctrine to which the sacraments are annexed, to administer them, nor convenient if it were lawful".

THE TILDENS


Joseph his eldest son, readily took up the church activi- ties which the father had laid down with the second parish however. When he removed from the house on Kent Street built by his father, he married Elizabeth Twisden and made a new home near the First Herring brook and the mill which he erected there under a contract with the town. He had already succeeded to the major portion of the lands owned by his father in Marshfield and Scituate and began the ac- quisition of large tracts for himself. He bought fifty-nine acres of upland and marsh adjoining the North River from Samuel House of Cambridge, more of Manasseth Kempton of Plymouth and William Hatch of Scituate and increased his ownership at the Third Cliff by purchases from Thomas Richard and John Hanmore. When Hatherly died and Til- den became his residuary devisee, he was one of the largest individual owners of land in the Colony. Much of it was improved land which he cultivated extensively. His busi- ness at the mill was also large. Its product found a mar- ket at Boston whither it was conveyed by water. The management of his private affairs apparently left him little time for public employment or it may be that like his father he was disinclined toward the latter. It may also be that with the exception of Hatherly, he was not on cordial terms with the men who constituted the Court in the decade be- tween 1644 and 1654. In the former year he was expelled from the Grand Jury "for misdeamnor amongst them." What his action was which displeased the Court is not known It could not have been a serious breach for he was many times a member of that body in after years. Yet it was sub- stantially the same bench-Bradford, Prence, Collier, Hath- erly and Alden which ten years later tried him upon the presentment "for taking a false oath att March Court last, about barley received of John Ramsden, affirming it to be delivered him for his own use, which is proved to be deliv- ered him for Mr. Ramsden's use." He was found guilty and fined ten pounds, "Although we conceive," says the record, "hee was drawn into it by the base and ill carriage

of John Ramsden." It is not to be supposed that a man of the strong character of Deacon Tilden would rest content with this action even though the Court softened its decree with censure of Ramsden. Tilden sought and obtained a review. In his petition for review he attacked the Court itself. Humphrey, Johnson and Gilbert Brookes were then appointed "as attorneys in the behalfe of the Court to appier in the case." Neither was a lawyer and that was no reason that they should act for the Court in prosecuting Tilden unless it existed in the fact that Johnson was known to be hostile to him. Tilden had caused a defamatory letter con- cerning Johnson to be read, publicly, and they were litigating before this same Court in an action for the alleged libel in which Johnson sought to recover damages which he plac- ed at one hundred pounds. It is not too much to assert that Humphrey Johnson brought to his task as public prosecu- tor in this case something more than the public interest. When a final hearing was had the tribunal backed complete- ly down. On March 1, 1658, it made this record :-


"Whereas the Court have granted unto Mr. Joseph Tilden a further hearing in the matter of his present- ment about his oath, they having spent much time in hearing of such debates and pleas as might any way tend to the clearing up the truth in that matter, being of nothing more desireouse than to vindicate the in- nocent, and settle the blame of any former transactions where it is most just to rest, the matter being referred to the determination of the Bench, they conclude, that all former transactions of Courts relateing heerunto are not fully justifyable; nor may wee fully cleare Mr. Tilden from all blame about the same. It being long since these things were first in agitation, and some evi- dences that then passed in Court not now appearing, yett principally minding such new evidences as have now been produced, both to the taking of some former testimonies, and alsoe further clearing of his innocency that what hath formerly appeered, we doe acquitt him


385


THE TILDENS


of his former charge of censure for a falce oath, be- cause not grounded upon sufficient testimonies, and doe further order, that his presentment being taken out of the records, this our finall determination about the premises bee in his vindication recorded, and, lastly, doe agree, that Mr. Tilden bearing the charges of his friends in this tryall, the countrey shall alsoe beare the charges of their attorneys and evidences aded heer- unto; that the said Mr. Tilden is to bee cleared by open proclamation att the General Court to bee holden att Plymouth in June next." f


After this complete victory over the Court he had nothing more to do with it up to the date of his death except once at the instance of his sister Lydia who was the widow of Richard Garrett for years town clerk of Scituate. She had been left with four small children upon his death and "upon the motion of Mr. Hatherly and Mr. Tilden, in the behalfe of the widdow, Mistris Lydia Garrett of Scituate, to have liberties to sell stronge liquors, in regard that sundry in that towne are oft times in nessesitie thereof, this Court doth give libertie unto the said Lydia Garrett to sell liquors, all waies provided that the orders of Court concerning selling of liquors bee observed, and that shee sell none but to house keepers, and not lesse than a gallon att a time."


He died June 3, 1670 leaving a family of nine children about whose education he was very "urgent." His personal estate was valued in the neighborhood of five thousand dol- lars and out of it the Court allowed their mother a gener- ous sum "upon her petition for the nessesary apparrelling of her children, and for their maintainance three yeares, of five of them in diett and clothing," and "£12 payed by mee for the schooling and boarding my 2 sonnes, which my husband was urgent with the captaine to undertake" and "out of the estate before it be divided is to be taken 20 £ for Rebeckah, and a bed furnished; 18£ and 20€ in money for Elizabeth and Lydia." A legacy of two hundred pounds was left the wid-

ow. The account which she filed contains much evidence of the business dealings of her husband with Boston ship- builders in his lifetime. There was a debt of £44 due from Benjamin Gillam the shipwright who lived on Cow Lane near Summer Street, and owned the bark "Lidia:" Thomas Hawkins who had a ship yard near his home on Salem Street owed Tilden's estate £34:18S:09d; and the widow of Nicholas Upsall the Quaker keeper of the "Red Lyon Inn" £7:17s:04d. In another part of the same account the Ex- ecutrix objects to being charged with a part of the debt due from Hawkins which she "conceived to be very doubtful whether ever it wilbe payed." William Boylston was an- other Boston business man to whom the product of Tilden's mill was regularly sent for many years.
