Among the heresies, the most prominent were those enter- tained by Rev. John Wheelwright, a silenced preacher in England, who had come to Boston, and his wife's brother William Hutchin- son's wife, Mrs. Ann Hutchinson, a member of the church in Boston. Mrs. Hutchinson and Mr. Wheelwright had brought with them from England some so called Antinomian doctrines, or faith without works under the moral law. The ministers of the Bay were much disturbed by the talk concerning the promulga- tion of these doctrines in the colony. These heresies had support among some of the ministers as well as laymen. Some feeling was engendered by speeches of various persons, and eventually there were conflicts between the ministers and magistrates as to jurisdiction in matters of conscience and religion. Mr. Wheel- wright preached a sermon, which the general court declared to be seditious, and ordered his banishment, Nov. I, 1637, to take place within fourteen days thereafter. Mrs. Hutchinson was also banished at the same time, but as it was in the winter they were allowed to remain a short time. Mr. Wheelwright went to Exeter and Mrs. Hutchinson to Providence. Several prominent persons were disfranchised and others were disarmed for being in sympathy with them. Disarmament meant the giving up of "such guns, pistols, swords, powder, shot, & match as they shalbee owners of, or have in their custody," and they remained unarmed. This was thought to be wise as a prevention, as some in Germany had made a sudden "irruption" upon those that differed from them in their religious opinions.2 There were seven of her follow- ers in Salem who were disarmed for their faith in her doctrines. These were Mr. Scruggs, Mr. Alfoot, Mr. Commins, Robert Moulton and Goodman King; and they were ordered to deliver their arms to Lieutenant Damfort. If they acknowledged their evil way they were to be allowed to keep their arms ; but none in Salem is known to have retracted. Nov. 15, 1637, the general court ordered "that such as are disarmed should bee freed from carriing arms wth them, & from trainings & watches."

HISTORY OF SALEM
In September, 1637, two men were serving sentences in jail (probably in Boston). One was John Williams, a ship carpenter, who had come into the country only a short time before and was convicted of theft ; and the other was John Hoddy. They broke out of the prison, and tramped through Salem on the way toward Ipswich. When near the little valley on the western side of the road from Beverly to Wenham, near the town line, Williams murdered Hoddy, stripped him of his clothes and what else he had, put on the garments, and went in them to Ipswich, from whence he had been sent to prison. About a week afterward, the body was discovered by some cows, which, smelling the blood, made such an uproar that the cow keeper sought to learn its cause. He found the body covered with a heap of stones. Williams was known to have been the last person seen with the dead man and he was apprehended. Though the latter's clothing was bloody, he would confess nothing until after the body was found and identified. He was indicted for the crime, and, con- fessing his guilt, was convicted by the general court, with a jury, Sept. 19th, Col. John Endecott being present. John Holgrave, Daniel Ray and Richard Adams were on the grand jury which indicted Williams.1
Sept. II, 1637, William Allen and Richard Singletary2 were admitted inhabitants.3 At the same time, Mr. Verrin was allowed a farm of one hundred acres, next to Mr. Clark on the north side, laying down his former. Lieutenant Davenport was allowed to have his farm of one hundred and twenty acres where Mr. Verrin's was first granted and five acres of meadow by Mr. Hathorne's. John Marsh was granted, for his great lot, twenty acres of land adjoining to Lieutenant Davenport's.
Sept. 25, 1637, John Friend,“ Isabel Babson® and Mr. Browne. a soapmaker, desired to become inhabitants of the town, but only

"Richard Singletary removed to Newbury in 1638, and subsequently lived in Salisbury and Haverhill. He died Oct. 25, 1687, aged one hundred and one.
