HISTORY OF SALEM
Wolfe fifty acres, Sargent Dixie fifty acres and to Widow More ten acres. Another warrant authorized the laying out to Roger Morie fifty acres, Edward Giles sixty acres, Richard Davenport eighty acres, Robert Moulton one hundred acres, Thomas Gard- ner one hundred acres, Francis Weston one hundred and twenty acres and to Mrs. Higginson one hundred and fifty acres. These last seven allotments were of lands in what is now the City of Peabody. Another warrant was issued to lay out at Mackerell Cove seventy-five acres each to Jeffrey Massey and Richard Brackenbury. John Woodbury, Captain Trask, Roger Conant and John Balch were lot layers at this time.
Thomas Venner was a wine cooper, and received as an in- habitant of the town July 12, 1637, when ten acres of land was granted to him ; he was admitted to the church here Feb. 25, 1637 ; and made a freeman the next month. He was subsequently a juryman and constable, and the fact that he was called "Mr." indicates that he was above mediocrity. He was religious and an extremist in his interpretation of duty. He was apparently sin- cere, and easily became a fanatic. He endeavored to persuade others to leave the colony for Providence, in the Bahama Islands, for the support of the churches there.
He removed to Boston in 1643, and became a leader among the coopers there. He sailed from Boston for England in October, 1651 ; and was a cooper in London.
In 1657, he had become the leader of a band of religionists in London, who called themselves and were known as the "Fifth Monarchy Men," because they claimed to believe that the four great kingdoms, Assyria, Persia, Macedon and Rome, had passed and the new Kingdom of Christ upon earth, or the Millenium, was to be inaugurated by them. By his fiery preaching, Venner wrought his followers into a frenzy. He denounced Cromwell, who had him arrested as a conspirator against the peace of the Commonwealth. He was given a friendly warning by the Pro- tector, and was quieted for three years. The general unrest of the people during the years which followed the transition of the government from the administration of Richard Cromwell to the reinstitution of the monarchy afforded an opportunity for the development of doctrines of all kinds. The conventiclers again became prominent, and Venner proclaimed that the restoration of the throne was the establishment of an Anti-Christ. Unrestrained, he prayed and fasted and preached and he and his small band of followers became armed. This was in January, 1661. They were so energetic and made so much commotion they seemed to be everywhere. Their war cry was, "Live King Jesus"; and they carried a banner inscribed, "For the Lord God and Gideon."

They went from street to street, crying "Their heads upon the gates." The city was taken by surprise, and the fanatics killed half a dozen innocent citizens in their mad rush. When the military sallied forth to meet them, Venner and his men retreated to Caen wood, a dense forest near Hampstead. The Lord Mayor, at the head of forty thousand troops and others vainly pursued them. The conventiclers again entered the city, and renewed their bloody work through the streets. They found refuge in a house, and Venner fought like a fiend, killing many persons before he fell. He received nineteen wounds. His company numbered only thirty-one, several of whom were killed. In Old Bailey, they were tried and convicted of treason and murder immediately, and on Saturday, Jan. 19, 1661, Venner was drawn on a sledge from Newgate through Cheapside and suffered the horrible execution of one guilty of treason. His body was quartered and set upon the posts of the four gates of the city.
The accompanying portrait, alleged to be of Thomas Venner, was published by Caulfield & Herbert in 1794. Another portrait is "From an Unique Print in the Collection of Alexander Hendros Sutherland Esq' F. S. A." The latter is inscribed "Thomas Venner, Preacher at the Conventicles of the Fifth Monarchy Men, & Seducers of Libertines, Captain of the seditious Anabaptists & Quakers in the City of London-Beheaded & Quartered 19 Jan™ anno 1661." That portrait resembles the one given here, although the expression of the face is much more quiet and gentle. Under the original print of the portrait shown here appears the following lines :-
This Helmet was a Crown by Revelation This Halpert was a Sceptor for the Nation So the Fifth-Monarchy anew is grac'd King Venner next to John a Leydon plac'd.
Thomas Venner married Alice , probably in England ; had three children at least: Mary, baptized in Salem May 16, 1641 ; Hannah, born in Boston Jan. 16, 1644; and Samuel, born in Boston Jan. 23, 1649. Mrs. Venner went to England, and the parish register of St. Dionis, Backchurch, London, states : "Alice Venner, widow, carried away to be buried to Tindell's ground, 24 February 1692."
The variety of duties which devolved upon, or were assumed by, the town in the early days is manifested in the decision it made in the matter of William Walker, in the latter part of the winter of 1636-7. After considering it in the town meeting, March 2d, the town concluded, that, for the present, Walker had better be kept with Mr. Bishop for his own preservation and also for satisfying Mr. Bishop's part of his debt, if he can earn anything.

R. & R. ff." together with Mr. Thorndike who is to have his hundred acres there (which was formerly next to Mr. Johnson's, and was disliked by him). Warrants were made for laying out one hundred and sixty acres to Daniel Ray, eighty each to Richard Waterman and Ralph Fogg, seventy to Hugh Laskin, sixty each to William Dodge and John Hardy, forty to William Woodbury and ten to Mr. Scruggs, as above.1
April 10, 1637, the town ordered that all marsh ground about the town which had been laid out be measured by the lot layers, Captain Trask, Mr. Conant, John Woodbury, John Balch and Jeffrey Massey. At the same time, Richard Ingersoll and Pasco Foot were assigned their portions by Frost Fish brook next to Goodman Barney, "if their be so much or else pasca ffoot to be left out." "m" Moses Maverik request to Towne granted if he bring his dismission."2
April 17, 1637, Mr. Francis Weston had thirty acres added to his one hundred and twenty ; twenty acres of it to be laid out up Wooliston's river.3 It was also "agreed that in case Rica Huchen- son shall sett vp plowing within 2 years he may haue 20 acres more to bee added to his pportion." Mr. Verrin was given liberty to cut three loads of "hay grass" near Lawrence Leach's, provided he burn all the marshes thereabout. Mr. Smith was assigned his proportion of one hundred and fifty acres beyond "the ould planters farmes." Mr. William Browne was granted ten acres to be added to his twenty instead of a ten-acre lot. "Sarg. Lockwood refused the hous Lott beyond his father Normans."

June 19, 1637, the town granted to Mr. Thorndike one hun- dred and eighty-five acres of land in the place where the town appointed him one hundred acres. It was also agreed that Mr. Clark shall have two hundred acres by the Cedar Pond, not exceed- ing twenty acres of meadow. This grant is shown on the plan on page 302. Mr. Johnson was granted "that Smale quantety of medow ground before his house on the oth" side the Riuer betwixt 2 & 3 acres." At a meeting of the twelve men, the next day, it was voted that Richard Johnson1 be received an inhabitant and ap- pointed half an acre of land for a houselot "nere vnto Richard Hollingworths works": and that Richard Roots? shall have half an acre for his houselot "next vnto our brother Marshall, saving the highway."
There were two or three interesting matters before the Salem quarterly court June 27, 1637. Peter Palfrey's servant, Jane Wheat. was whipped for killing his neighbor's poultry, for lying and loitering and running away from her master; and Nicholas Cary® was reproved for extreme correction of his maid servant.
At a meeting of the town, July 4, 1637, George Harris was ordered to have his lot made up at the Great Cove; and William Plaise was granted a ten-acre lot.

JOHN FISKE,1 son of William and Anne (Austye) Fiske, lived in England. His father, William Fiske, died in Dutchingland, Norfolk County, England, in 1623. John Fiske married Anne, daughter of Robert Lanterce; was of St. James Church, in South Elmham, and died in 1633. About three years later his widow and some or all of his children sailed for America.
