PETER SHUMWAY was the earliest of the family in this country. The tradi- tion current in the family from early date is that the first immigrant in America, of the name of Shumway, was a Huguenot exile from France. His name appears in the earliest records of Essex County, Mass., and is spelled Shamway, which corresponds so nearly in sound with the French name " Chamois," pronounced Shamwah, that support is given to the traditional nationality of the name. Peter Shumway settled about 1660, in Topsfield, Mass. Mention is made of him in the ancient records as doing service in the Narragansett war. He was at the taking of the Indian fort, Dec.
