In one of these thatch-roofed cottages, in the family of Roger Conant, occurred the first birth of a white child in this region.3
In the rear of the settlement was a large marsh, which, al- though it has been raised somewhat by the deposit of large quantities of loam and sand, is known to this day as "the planter's
1March 17, 1801, Dr. William Bentley of Salem wrote in his diary as follows : "Capt. J. Osgood having purchased part of Woodbridge's estate in Ferry Lane, formerly so called, the lots lying near Horton's point, so called, on the point below Skerry's, fell to his share. Westward of the point the ground rose higher than upon any land below Windmill point, & having been covered with Locusts, it had acquired a soil which gave it the appearance of a nole rising from the natural soil. Capt. Osgood made the purchase among other purposes to remove this ground from North River side to Planter's marsh side & in digging he found the natural soil six feet below & that this was only accumulated land, blown from Horton's point. On the ground he found several Loads of Rocks bedded in Clay as was usual in the Cottages made by the first settlers. Upon this hearth he found coals from oak wood, & cinders from fossil coals, specimens of which I took away & preserved. Around these ruins the sands probably accumulated, as the Clay & rocks were bedded in the natural soil. The rocks must have been brought from Lobster point 14 of a mile or from Beverly side. They were rude & of irregular shapes."

marsh."1 From this marsh, thatch for the roofing of the cottages was probably obtained, as well as the clay for their foundations and chimneys and walls.
The soil was prepared for the planting of maize2 and probably several other products congenial to it. The spring of 1627 found the colonists busily engaged in planting. Besides the crops necessary for their sustenance, they produced tobacco." The Pil- grims had discountenanced the raising of tobacco, because, as Edward Winslow wrote, fishing was more profitable, as fish was "a better and richer commodity" and to be had in "great abund- ance."4
No reports coming from England and more than a year hav- ing elapsed since the promise of Mr. White, John Woodbury was selected as an agent to go to England and procure necessaries for a plantation. At this period, said Dr. Cotton Mather, "the design for awhile almost fell into the ground." In a petition to the general court, dated May 28, 1671, Mr. Conant wrote as "one of the firft if not the very firft, that refolued and made good my settlement vnder god, in matter of plantation wth my family in this collony of the maffachufet bay, and haue bin inftrumentall, both for the founding and carring on of the fame, and when in the infancy thereof, it was in great haffard of being deferted, I was a means, through grace affifting me, to ftop the flight of thofe few that then were heere wth me, and that by my vtter deniall, to goe away wth them, who would haue gon either for England or moftly for Virginia, but thereupon ftayed to the haffard of our lives. I being the firft that had houfe in Salem."" Mr. Wood- bury sailed in the autumn of 1627, and spent the winter in England.
In the letter of Mr. Conant, quoted above, he stated that all of his associates were. from the western part of England. The map of New England made by Capt. John Smith is supposed to have been made about 1617, but it must have been produced after 1620 as Plymouth is marked on it. Probably it was drawn in 1627 as the settlement of the old planters at Naumkeag is marked Bristow (Bristol)- a name given to the colony by Captain Smith. because they were from the west of England.
It is not known how many persons constituted the colony, either at Cape Ann or Naumkeag. Walter Knight,6 born about

corner of Essex and Elm streets. Richard Norman,1 a car- penter, and his eldest son, John Norman, were also among the John norman colonists before Endecott came. The father was probably one of the elder of the old planters, as he was called "Old Goodman Norman" in 1649. His son John was about fifteen years of age in 1628. .
The crops of 1627 were harvested, and the autumn had come when John Woodbury sailed away on his mission to the homeland. Alone in the almost unknown wilderness, the dwelling-place of Indians and wild beasts, those who remained looked forward to another winter of deep snow and frigid temperature. Not a civilized man could be found within fifty miles. The men could placidly turn their faces toward the grim approaching season, but the women and children were there, inured to some extent to the hardships of their condition, it is true, but always feeling more than the men the exposure, privation and coarseness. The de- cision to remain there, that they might keep alive the germ of a larger colony, was worthy of the highest commendation. Great credit should be given to them as the cause of the larger settle- ment, the state, the nation.

CHAPTER V.
THE COMING OF ENDECOTT.
OME of the members of the Dorchester Company, re- gardless of the failure of the Cape Ann settlement, were desirous of establishing another colony in the vicinity. They thought that the sending of more cattle to Roger Conant and his companions at Naum- keag might be the means not only of their comfortable support, but of encouraging others to join the plantation.1 When John Woodbury arrived in England, he found that the promise made to the old planters had not been forgotten.
Through the influence and exertions of Rev. John White plans greater than Conant had. contemplated were being developed ; and March 19, 1627-8, the council established at Plymouth "for the planting, ruling, ordering and governing of New England" sold to Sir Henry Rosewell and Sir John Young, knights, and Thomas Southcoat, John Humphrey, John Endecott and Simon Whetcomb, gentlemen, residing in or about Dorchester, all the territory in New England, extending from three miles north of Merrimack River to three miles south of Charles River. Not long after, these grantees, through Mr. White, became acquainted with other religious persons of like quality in and about London,- Isaac Johnson, Matthew Cradock, Thomas Goffe and Sir Richard Saltonstall,- who became associated with them, for the purpose of founding a plantation where nonconformists in religion might. be received. The new company was called at first The New England Company and finally The Company of the Massachusetts Bay. This company bought all the interest of the Dorchester Company in the property at Cape Ann and Naumkeag and in the territory of the Sheffield patent.2

HISTORY OF SALEM
About the time of Conant's removal to Naumkeag, Thomas Dudley, Esq., and some of his friends, who were together in Lincolnshire, discussed New England affairs and the extension of the gospel thither. Some of the old Dorchester Company offered to send over twelve kine and bulls, and conferred casually with some gentlemen of London who added as many cattle and proposed to invest money in the plantation if fit men might be procured to go over and superintend it. John Endecott was selected finally, being "a man well known to divers persons of good note, who manifested much willingness to accept of the offer as soon as it was tendered, which gave great encouragement to such as were undecided."1
The Endecotts of England are found only in and around Chagford, in Devonshire, and were large owners of the tin mines in that region. John Endecott was undoubtedly born at Chagford in 1589. Investigations2 show that he was son of Thomas and Alice Endecott of Chagford. Thomas Endecott was buried there Dec. 20, 1621. He had children, John and Margaret. His wife Alice survived him. Nothing is known of John's early life, except that, in one instance, he styled himself "chirurgeon."3 His first wife, whom he married while living in London, was Anna Gower, a cousin of the governor of the Company, Matthew Cradock, and a lady of an influential family. She was probably, also, from Chagford or its vicinity, as Gower is a common family name there. Mr. Endecott become interested in Puritan colonization in America, and was so intimate with Rev. John White of Dorchester that he was recognized as a Dorsetshire man. The portrait of Mr. Endecott was painted a few months before his decease ; and the original painting is now in the possession of his descendant, William C. Endicott of Boston."

THE COMING OF ENDECOTT
and Gardner in making the Cape Ann plantation a success. Al- though he had been promised supplies and a new patent, it was not agreed that he should be the head of the new colony, as he may have assumed. The new company was composed of business men, of which Conant was ignorant, and naturally one of their own number was placed in charge of its affairs in New England; and John Endecott was appointed.
The good report of the conditions at Naumkeag, brought by John Woodbury, hastened the preparations for the departure of the colony in the spring. The illimitable forests that had never resounded with the sound of a steel axe, large pastures and soil fruitful from the accumulation of vegetable mold for centuries, to be had for the possession, were most attractive to those who knew the limitations of the territory of England.
