BOSTON FAMILIES PRIOR TO A.D. 1700.
Habijah, son of Thomas Savage, married Hannah, daughter of Captain Edward Tyng.
We may note that the daughters of Rev. Zachariah Symmes 1 of Charles- town married, respectively, Rev. Samuel Hough, Thomas Savage ( Mrs. Savage married also Anthony Stoddard), Hezekiah Usher, William Davis, Humphrey Booth, Timothy Prout, and Edward Willis.
The family has maintained its position in Boston till the present generation.
12. Dr. Elisha Cooke, only son of Richard Cooke, a tailor of Boston, was of H. C. 1657.2 He was prominent in politics, -speaker, assistant, of the Council of Safety, agent to England, and judge. He married Eliza- beth, daughter of Governor Leverett, and had Elisha, also a leader in politics, who married Janc, daughter of Richard Middlecot. The only daughter of this last was Mary, wife of Judge Richard Saltonstall, whose descendant, Leverett Saltonstall, still represents the family in Boston.3
13. The Hutchinsons have filled as large a space in popular estimation as any family that has resided here. The emigrant was William Hutchin- son, grandson of John H., mayor of Lincoln, and he had a brother Richard of London, whose son, Eliakim, settled at Boston also. His wife was the too-famous Anne Hutchinson, exiled for her opinions. Their son Edward, of Boston, had a daughter, Elizabeth, married to Edward Winslow; and a son, Elisha, who Edward Hluk Ringon became very prominent. He married Hannah, daughter of Captain Thomas Hawkins, and secondly Elizabeth, daughter of Thomas Clarke, and widow of John Freke. His sons were Thomas and Edward, who married after 1700; and his daughters married Dr. John Clarke, John Ruck, and Colonel John Foster.
Thomas was father of Governor Thomas Hutchinson, but this generation belongs in the record of the eighteenth century.4

4 [The Hutchinson family has been the sub- ject of several genealogical essays, beginning with a privately printed tract by Peter O. Hutchinson, of England, a descendant of Governor Hutchin- son, who made a Tour into the County of Lin- colu for the Purpose of Hunting up Memorials of the English ancestry of Thomas Hutchinson, the emigrant ancestor of Boston. Mr. William H. Whitmore reprinted from the N. E. Hist. and Geneal. Reg., 1865, A Brief Genealogy of the De- scendants of William Hutchinson and Thomas Oliver. Colonel J. L. Chester made some special
Hutchinson and his famous wife Anne, and pub- lished them in 1866 in Notes upon the Ancestry of William Hutchinson and Anna Marbury, Sce also "the Ilutchinson family of England and New England, and its connection with the Mar- burys and Drydens," by Colonel Chester, in .V. E. Ilist. and Geneal. Reg., Oct. 1866. Heraldic Journal, B. 171. William Hutchinson had grant. ed to him, probably not long after his arrival in 1634, the lot now known as the "Old Corner Bookstore," but which then extended up School Street to the City ITall lot; and here he and his unfortunate wife lived. After his removal in 1638 to Rhode Island, his son Edward was al- lowed, in 1639, to sell the lot to Richard Hutch- inson of London, linen-draper. Shurtleff, Desc. of Boston, p. 674. In 1870 Mr. Perley Derby printed The Hutchinson Family, giving 1404 de- scendants of another emigrant, Richard Ilutch- inson of Salem. - ED.]

14. Elder Thomas Oliver came here an old man, with adult children.1 His son John married Elizabeth, daughter of John Newdigate; Peter, another son, married her sister Sarah; James, the third son, was long a selectman. John Oliver, Jr., married Susanna Sweet, and his brother Thomas married and settled in Cambridge. Peter Oliver, son of the emigrant, had three sons, of whom Nathaniel married Elizabeth, daughter of Thomas Brattle; James married Mercy, daughter of Samuel Bradstreet; and Danicl married Elizabeth, daughter of Andrew Belcher. Andrew, son of the last-named, was lieutenant-governor, and brother-in-law of Governor Hutchinson.2
15. John Hull, the well-known mint-master, deserves notice as an assist- ant, though he was a trader, and not one of the gentry. His only child married Samuel Sewall, the chief-justice, who was of a Newbury family of similar social position.3
16. Captain Thomas Brattle, merchant, of Boston, who died in 1683, was one of the wealthiest men of his day.+ He married Elizabeth, daughter The Bratthe of Captain William Tyng. His son Thomas, who died unmarried in 1713, was treasurer of Harvard, and judge of the Court of Common Pleas for Suffolk. The second son was Rev. William Brattle, whose son William was the only heir of the name. Edward Brattle, third son, married Mary Legg, of Marblehead, but died s. p. Of the daughters, Elizabeth married Nathaniel Oliver; Katherine married, first, John Eyre, and had two daughters, - one the wife of David Jeffries, the other of John Walley; and the widow Eyre married secondly Wait-Still Winthrop. Bethiah Brattle married Joseph Parsons, and her sister Mary married John Mico. The family continued at Cambridge, and in female lines in Boston, in the next century.
17. There were two brothers here by the name of Tyng, William and Edward, -wealthy and undoubted leaders.5 Willia' married Elizabeth,

Reg., April, 1865, and a tabular pedigree in Drake's Boston, p. 293 .- ED.] 3 [Drake, Boston, p. 586, gives the Sewall pedigree ; but a much more extended account is prefixed to the first volume of Sewall's Diary, whereof the third volume is to be issued in ISSo by the Mass. Historical Society. Hull himself had married Judeth, a daughter of Edmund Quin- cy, the emigrant ancestor of that family, and he bestowed his wife's name upon a headland in the Narragansett country (where he owned lands) which is not of good omen to passengers by the Sound to New York in these days. See note to Mr. Deane's chapter. - ED. |

5 [William Tyng lived on Washington Street, where, a few years ago, it turned into Dock Square, covering the foot of Brattle Street, now Adams Square. Ilere he had what was de- scribed as " one house, one close, one garden, one greate yard, and one little yard before the hall windowe." Edward Tyng lived on what was then the lower lot on the north side of State Street, near the corner of Merchants' Row, with his front "wharfed out." Ilere he had "one house and yard, and warehouse and brewhouse." He was admitted a townsman in 1639. - ED. J

daughter of Rowland Coytemore, and had Elizabeth, wife of Thomas Brat- tle; Anne, wife of Rev. Thomas Shepard ; Bethiah, who married Richard Wharton; and Mercy, who married Samuel Bradstreet. Ile had sons, - Edward and Jonathan ; and daughters, - Hannah, who married first Habijah Savage, and secondly Edward Ging Major-General Daniel Gookin ; Deliverance, wife of Daniel Searle ; Rebecca, wife of Governor Joseph Dudley; and Eunice, who married Rev. Samuel Willard.
Jonathan Tyng, son of the first Edward, was also of Dunstable, Mass .. where he held a large estate. He married first Sarah, daughter of Hezekiah Usher ; secondly, Sarah (Gibbons), widow of Humphrey Davie; thirdly, Judith, daughter of Rev. John Reyner, and widow of Rev. Jabez Fox. The name long remained at Dunstable, and has been revived in a female branch.
18. William Alford, a member of the Skinners' Company, of London, was a merchant here. His daughter Mary married first Peter Butler, and secondly Hezekiah Usher; and Elizabeth married Nathaniel Hudson. Benjamin Alford - probably his son - married Mary, daughter of James Richards, of Hartford, and had a son John, who died s. p., but founded at Harvard the Professorship of Natural Theology which perpetuates his name.
19. Captain Samuel Scarlet, of Boston (from Kersey, co. Suffolk), died s. p. in 1675, leaving a good estate. His brother John had two daughters. - Thomasine Taylor and - Fryer.
20. John Joyliffe, long in office here, married, in 1657, Anne, widow of Robert Knight, as she had been of Thomas Cromwell; had an only daugh- ter, Hannah, who probably died unmarried. This Cromwell was a reformed free-booter, who settled in Boston, where he made his peace with the Church, and died in 1649.1 His widow, by her second husband (Knight), had an only child, - Martha, wife of Jarvis Ballard. Cromwell's only daughter and heiress, Elizabeth, married first Richard Price, and secondly Isaac Vick- ers, or Vickery. By each husband she had children, - Elizabeth Price, wife of Joseph Lobdell; Anna Vickers, wife of Benjamin Loring; and Rebecca Vickers, wife of Samuel Binney.
21. William Gerrish belongs rather to Essex County, though he lived in Boston, and married, in 1645, Joanna, widow of John Oliver. His son John was of Dover, and another son (Joseph) was minister at Wenham ; but grandsons returned to Boston, and kept the name alive here.
22. Tobias Payne, of Fownhope, co. Hereford, was a merchant in Ham- burg, later in Barbados, and came to Boston in 1666. He married Sarah (Winslow), widow of Captain Miles Standish,2 by whom he had an only child, William. His widow married Richard Middlecott. William Payne married Mary, daughter of James Taylor, in 1694. The family became extinct here in 1834.3

23. Richard Middlecott had four children by this wife, - Mary, wife of llenry Gibbs, of Barbados; Sarah, wife of Lewis Boucher; Jane, wife of Elisha Cooke; and Edward, who settled in England.
24. Hezekiah Usher, merchant, married, for a second wife, Elizabeth Symmes, and, for a third, Mary (Alford) Butler. He had two sons and two daughters, of whom Rebecca married Abraham Browne, and Sarah mar- ried Jonathan Tyng. His son Hezekiah, Jr., married Bridget, widow of Leonard Hoar, daughter of John Lisle, the regicide. They had no chil- dren. John, the other son, married Elizabeth, daughter of Peter Lidgett, and had Elizabeth, wife of David Jeffries. His second wife was Elizabeth, daughter of Samuel Allen, the proprietor of New Hampshire, by whom he had issue, still represented in Rhode Island. John Usher fills a large space in our annals ; and his wealth is evidenced by the fine house he built at Medford.1
25. David Jeffries, from Rhoad, co. Wilts, came here in 1677. By his wife Elizabeth (Usher) he had sons, John and David, of whom John was town treasurer for many years. The family is still represented in Boston, - being one of the few which have continued through all the changes of two centuries.2
26. Peter Lidgett, freeman, 1673, - a merchant, and partner of John Hull, -married Elizabeth Scammon, and had, besides Elizabeth, wife of John Usher, a son, Charles, who died at London in 1698. This Charles married Mary, daughter of John Hester, of London, whose wife was prob- ably a daughter of Robert Sedgwick, as Mrs. Lidgett was a great-niece of Madam Leverett. Peter's widow married John Saffin.
27. John Saffin, speaker, councillor, and judge, married first Martha, daughter of Captain Thomas Willett, of Plymouth; secondly, the widow Lidgett ; and thirdly Rebecca, daughter of Rev. Samuel Lee. He left no issue at his death in 1710.
28. Captain Thomas Ruck, or Rock, married Margaret Clark in 1656, and had several children, one of them being Peter, - H. C. 1685. Savage notes the difficulty of distinguishing them from the Salem family of the name.
29. William Whittingham, of Boston, was the son of John Whittingham, of Ipswich, grandson of Dean Whittingham, of Durham. His mother was Martha, daughter of William Hubbard, sister of the historian. William Whittingham married Mary, daughter of John Lawrence, and left issue.
30. Henry Shrimpton, a brazier of London, came here by 1639,3 with wife Elinor, and had a second wife Mary,-widow, first, of Captain Thomas Hawkins, and, secondly, of Captain Robert Fenn. His son Samuel, a coun- cillor, married Elizabeth, daughter of widow Elizabeth Roberts, of London,

SIMEON STODDARD.
31. Anthony Stoddard, Recorder of Boston, and for nineteen years con- secutively chosen a representative, had four wives.1 His first was Mary Downing, niece of Governor Winthrop; his second, Barbara, widow of Captain Joseph Anthony Stoddard Weld of Roxbury ; his third, Christian -; his fourth, Mary, widow of Captain Thomas Savage. Of his children, Lydia

This Sampson was son of an Edmund Sheaffe, of Cranbrook and Boston, - brother or cousin of Jacob, who married Elizabeth, daughter of Sampson Cotton, of London. Sampson Sheaffe went to New Hampshire, where he was councillor and judge, but died in Boston in 1724.

34. Robert Gibbs, of a good family in Warwickshire, was a noted mer- chant here by 1640.1 Early historians say that his fine house on Fort Hill cost some three thousand pounds. He married Elizabeth Sheaffc, and had sons, - Rev. Henry, of Watertown, and Robert, who married Mary Shrimpton. The name continued till recently in Middlesex County.
35. Simon Lynde, often mentioned in our annals, married Hannah, daughter of John Newgate, or Newdigatc. One of his daughters married George Pordage, and another a cousin Newgate. His son, Benjamin Lynde, - H. C. 1686, - studied law in London, and married, in 1699, Mary, daughter of William Browne, of Salem. There he settled, was Chief-Justice of the Supreme Court, and had a son, Benjamin, who reached the same dignity. Nathaniel, another son of Simon, went to Connecticut, and married a daughter of Deputy-Governor Francis Willoughby.
36. Edward Lyde, of Boston, married, in 1660, Mary, daughter of Rev. John Wheelwright, and had Edward, who married Susanna Curwen, and secondly Deborah, daughter of Nathanich Byfield.2 This Colonel Byfield, who came here in 1674, was the son of Rev. Richard Byfield a famous Puritan, married Deborah, daughter of Captain Thomas Clark, and had an only daughter, as above.
37. Dr. John Clarke (1673) married Martha Whittingham, and had Elizabeth, wife of Richard Hubbard, and then of Rev. Cotton Mather. His son John C. - H. C. 1668 - was a physician, speaker, and councillor. He married, in 1691, Saralı Shrimpton, then Elizabeth Hutchinson, and thirdly Sarah, widow of President Leverett.
Thomas Clarke, merchant, of Dorchester and Boston, colonel, speaker, and assistant, had several children, including Leah, wife of Thomas Baker, and Deborah Byfield. Thomas, presumed to be his son, was a wealthy merchant here, and left two daughters, - Mehitable Warren, and Elizabeth, who married first John Freke, and secondly Elisha Hutchinson.
Another Thomas Clarke of Boston, son of William and Anne, was born at Salisbury, co. Wilts, in 1645, and died in 1732, aged eighty-seven. His first wife was Jane, by whom he had Jane, wife of Rev. Benjamin Colman. His second wife was Rebecca, widow of Captain Thomas Smith, by whom he had Anne, wife of John Jeffries. His third wife was Abigail Keach.3
38. Rev. Jolin Cotton,4 as we know now, was of good family. He married at Boston, co. Lincoln, the widow of William Story. His children were Seaborn, John, Elizabeth, wife of Jeremiah Egginton, and Maria, wife of Rev. Increase Mather. Rev. Seaborn Cotton married Dorothy Brad- street, and secondly Prudence Wade. The family, however, soon passed from Boston.

40. Rev. Richard Mather, of Dorchester, was the founder of the line here.1 His second wife had been the second wife of Rev. John Cotton, and his son Increase Mather married Mary Cotton, his step-sister. Increase married secondly the daughter of Captain Thomas Lake, widow of Rev. John Cotton of Hampton, nephew of Mather's first wife. Of the daughters of Increase, Maria married Bartholomew Green and Richard Fifield ; Elizabeth married William Greenough and Josiah Byles; Sarah married Rev. Nehemiah Walter; Abigail married Newcomb Blake and Rev. John White; Hannah married John Oliver; and Jerusha married Peter Oliver.
Rev. Cotton Mather married first Abigail, daughter of John Phillips, of Charlestown; secondly Elizabeth, daughter of Dr. John Clark, widow of Richard Hubbard ; thirdly Lydia, daughter of Rev. Samuel Lee and widow of John George.2
The name, however, was soon lost to Boston, though descendants in Connecticut still bear it.
I have thus singled out some forty families which seemed entitled to precedence. I do not say that there were not others perhaps of equal rank, but these were nearly all allied by marriage, and certainly held the largest share of public honors prior to A.D. 1700. I can only say in con- clusion, as I did at the beginning, that the materials are not yet collected to enable any one to do for our Boston families what Bond did for Water- town, or Wyman for Charlestown. That the work is begun, and that fair progress has been made, is certainly some satisfaction. I do desire to put on record here that the City Council of Boston for the past two years has been willing to vote all necessary money towards the completion of its records, and to say that I think that the desired end is within sight.
