Of many of the foregoing brief memoirs have been printed in the New England Historical and Genealogical Register. But a contemplation of this one list, with the additions it suggests, will convince every one of the im- possibility of doing justice to the subject of our prominent families in the limits of a chapter. In fact, wherever we touch upon the history of Boston we find materials for a further search into the history of families. The list _of the clergymen of the eighteenth century will give us scores of families, most of which were influential then and since. The report on the Nomen- clature of Streets, printed by the City in 1879, brings up the memory of numerous citizens who were sufficiently distinguished to be honored by the naming of streets for them. The utmost that can be done at the present
1 The following is a list of Prince's sub- seller, Henry Phillips (deceased), William Rand, scribers in those towns which have since been annexed to Boston : -
IN CHARLESTOWN. - Rev. Hull Abbot, Hon. John Alford, Joseph Austin, Jr., Stephen Badger, Simon Bradstreet, Jr., M.A., Ephraim Breed, Michael Brigden, Benjamin Bunker, Samuel Burr, Caleb Call, Samuel Cary, Ezekiel Cheever, John Codman, Daniel Collings, Peter Edes, Captain James Flucker, Richard Foster, Joseph Frost, John Frothingham, Captain Samuel Frothingham, Thomas Greaves, Stephen Hall, Samuel Henley, Joseph Hopkins, Jacob Hurd, Thomas Jenner, Isaac Johnson, Captain Eben- ezer Kent, James Kettell, William Kettell, Joseph Lemmon, Thaddeus Mason, M.A., Rich- ard Miller, Isaac Parker, Eleazer Phillips, book-

Thomas Skinner, M A., Richard Sutton, Seth Sweetser, M.A., Thomas Symmes, James Trumbull, Samuel Trumbull, Thomas Ward (deceased), Samuel Webb, and Captain William Wyer. William Ilays, apothecary, is also credited to Charlestown in the printed list, but erroneously, as he was of Boston. Cf. Wyman, Genealogies and Estates of Charlestown, p. 487.
IN DORCHESTER. - James Blake, Hopestill Clap, Noah Clap, B.A., and Thomas Tilestone.
IN ROXBURY. - William Bosson, M.A., John Bowles, Hon. Paul Dudley, Richard Gardner, Joseph Heath, Rev. Ebenezer Thayer (deceased), Rev. Nehemiah Walter, and Henry Wilson.

time is to point out the need of continued investigation, in order that the history of the past may be collected while it is still obtainable.
One other list may be given, which explains the break which occurs in tracing the social history of the town. It contains the names of those who, in 1778, were proscribed as enemies of the new State. From Boston, the following persons were named: -
William Apthorp, Gibbs Atkins, John Atkinson, John Amory, James Anderson, Thomas Apthorp, David Black, William Burton, William Bowes, George Brinley, Robert Blair, Thomas Brinley, James Barrick, Thomas Brattle, Sampson Salter Blowers, James Bruce, Ebenezer Bridgham, Alexander Brymer, Edward Berry, William Burch, Mather Byles, Jr., William Codner, Edward Cox, Andrew Cazneau, Henry Caner, Thomas Courtney, Richard Clark, Isaac Clark, Benjamin Church, John Coffin, John Clark, Wil- liam Coffin, Nathaniel Coffin, Jonathan Clark, Archibald Cunningham, Gilbert Deblois, Lewis Deblois, Philip Dumaresq, Benjamin Davis, John Erving, Jr., George Erving, Edward Foster, Edward Foster, Jr., Benjamin Faneuil, Jr., Thomas Flucker, Samuel Fitch, Wilfred Fisher, James Forrest, Lewis Gray, Francis Green, Joseph Green, Syl- vester Gardiner, Harrison Gray, Harrison Gray, Jr., Joseph Goldthwait, Martin Gay, John Gore, Benjamin Hallowell, Robert Hallowell, Thomas Hutchinson, Thomas Hutchinson, Jr., Benjamin Gridley, Frederick William Geyer, John Greenlaw, David Green, Elisha Hutchinson, James Hall, Foster Hutchinson, Benjamin Mulberry Holmes, Samuel Hodges, Henry Halson, Hawes Hatch, John Joy, Peter Johonnot, William Jackson, John Jeffries, Henry Laughton, James Henderson, John Hinston, Christopher Hatch, Robert Jarvis, Richard Lechmere, Edward Lyde, Henry Lloyd, George Leonard, Henry Leddle, Archibald McNeil, Christopher Minot, James Murray, William MacAlpine, Thomas Mitchell, William Martin, John Knutton, Thomas Knight, Samuel Prince, Adino Paddock, Charles Paxton, Sir William Pepperrell, John Powell, William Lee Perkins, Samuel Quincy, Nathaniel Perkins, Owen Richards, Samuel Rogers, Jonathan Simpson, George Spooner, Edward Stowe, Richard Smith, Jonathan Snelling, David Silsby, Samuel Sewall, Abraham Savage, Joseph Scott, Francis Skinner, William Simpson, Richard Sherwin, Henry Smith, John Semple, Robert Semple, Thomas Selkrig, Robert Service, Simon Tufts, Arodi Thayer, Nathaniel Taylor, John Troutbeck, Gregory Townsend, William Taylor, William Vassall, Joseph Taylor, Joshua Upham, William Walter, Samuel Waterhouse, Isaac Winslow, John Winslow, Jr., David Willis, Obadiah Whiston, Archibald Wilson, John White, William Warden, Nathaniel Mills, John Hicks, John Howe, and John Fleming.1
When it is considered that forty-five of the above were termed esquires, nine were ministers and doctors, and thirty-six were merchants, we can form some idea of the great social changes produced by the Revolution. Some of these royalists doubtless returned ; but a far greater number left Boston quietly, and never arrived at the dangerous distinction of being publicly de- nounced. It can be easily seen, however, that this forced emigration must have had the effect to destroy the continuity of the social history of the

town. The persons who adhered to the Crown were naturally the wealthy and conservative classes. They composed the families which had pros- pered during the preceding century, and which had been gradually forming a local aristocracy. The history of the times which should omit these families would be fatally defective; and yet their departure has taken from us those family traditions which could best supply the deficiencies of the records.
