He married, date unknown, Susanna, daughter of Rev. John and Mary (Storre) Wheelwright, who was baptized May 22, 1627 at Bilsby, Lincolnshire. As far as known but one child was the issue of this marriage and his wife was living in 1674, but probably not in 1679 at the date of her father's will. Edward Rishworth died about 1688-9 and the inventory of his estate, which was intestate, was taken in February 1689. His daughter Mary was ap- pointed administratrix. She was born January 8, 1660 and was married four times, (1) William (?) White about 1677-8; (2) John Sayward about 1680; (3) Phineas Hull about 1690; and (4) James Plaistead 1691 (Deeds ii, 9; vi, 56; x, 230; xi, 63).
WILLIAM MOORE
will mo He came to York about 1651 and the next year signed the Submission. Of his English origin nothing definite has been learned, although it is probable that he came from Devonshire and may be either a son of Richard, baptized October 26, 1629 or son of John of Ipplepen, baptized November 16, 1623, as both dates would be applicable for identification. He was a fisherman and ferryman at Stage Neck and lived in Lower Town opposite Varrell Lane. He signed petitions in 1679 against the sale of Maine to Massachusetts and in 1680 to the king. By his will March 31, 1691 he devised property appraised at £159-7-o to his children. He married about 1653 Dorothy, daughter of William Dixon of this town. The family genealogy appears in Volume III.
EDWARD START
He came here in 1651, a fisherman from Brixham, Devonshire, where he was baptized November 23, 1614, the son of Peter Start of that parish. He married there June 23, 1645 Wilmot Lamsytt, and they brought two children with them when they emigrated. He signed the Submission to Massachusetts in 1652 and bought a house
217
HISTORY OF YORK
and lot July 25, 1653 of Thomas Venner, situated on Ferry Neck, where he lived till his death May 19, 1671. His estate was administered by his widow Wilmot, who was appointed by the Court, and on October 7, 1673 and March 27, 1674 the Court decreed the division of the property to his children. The house and lands were awarded to the only son Thomas, subject to the dower rights of the widow, and the rest went to him by a double share and the other children in equal fifths. His widow remarried before October 1673, William Roans of York. Children:
i. Thomas, bapt. July 31, 1646 at Churston Ferrers, Devon; prob. d.s.p. as administration of his estate was granted Dec. 30, 1674 to Richard Cutt of Portsmouth (N. H. Probate i, 160).
ii. Sarah, b. (1649); m. Henry Wright of Boston and York.
iii. Elizabeth, b. (1652); m. Moses Wooster of Kittery between 1674 and 1676.
iv. Mary, b. (1655); m. Antonio (George) Portado, a Portuguese, resident of Boston, 1673.
MARY TAPP
The appearance of an unattached woman in a com- munity during its early years of settlement is always a matter of curiosity as to a possible relationship with some other settler. Mary Tapp or Topp first appears in 1642 at Portsmouth with a daughter Jane and eight years later is found in York as a witness in a criminal case. She was evidently a resident here at that time as in 1652 her name was signed to the Submission, a lone female signer, al- though she was not a property holder, and it is not known where she lived. She continued here till 1660 when her daughter Jane was presented for fornication and being "with child." John Donnell was accused of its paternity, but he denied the charge and his father secured his acquittal. In the biographies of Samuel Adams and Robert Knight it was said that a Tapp family lived in Shepton Mallet, Somersetshire with persons of their names. A Richard and Mary Tapp of that parish had a daughter Jane baptized in 1636, and the conjunction of these three names suggests common origin before emigration. What became of her or her daughter is not known.
ROBERT HEATHERSAY
This man was a transient and a wanderer, while his name is found in half a dozen forms .-- Hethersee, Hether-

NEW SETTLERS OF THE THIRD DECADE
still, Heathersay, Hethersye, Hithersy and Hethersaw. He had lived in Charlestown, Concord (1640), Lynn (1643), Dover (1647), before coming here in 1651, when he bought six acres of Godfrey on Lindsay Road (Deeds i, pt. I, fol. 14). In all these places he was in frequent trouble in the courts. He may be the Robert Hethersaw of Gotham, Nottinghamshire, licensed to marry Mary Smith, January 16, 1626-7, and after marriage left her in England, as he was prosecuted in 1643 for "lyving from his wife these many years" (Essex Court Rec. i, 58). He signed the Submission in 1652, and in 1653 was presented "for lying." In 1654 he was living in Wells, where he was fined for "soliciting" a neighbor's wife, and that is the last heard of this undesirable citizen.
GEORGE BRAUNSON
This is another transient and wanderer whose name is also written in various ways, Branson, Bronson, Brancen, Braunsen, and otherwise mangled. Of his origin noth- ing is known. He was born about 1610 (Mass. Arch. xxxviii, 152), and had lived in Dover before coming to York in 1651, where he signed the Submission in 1652. He removed to Kittery in 1654 and back to Dover before 1657, where on July 2 of that year he was gored to death by a bull. Evidently unmarried or without children, as his estate was administered by John Ault and Richard York.
WILLIAM ASHLEY
Also a transient, and his only record is as a witness to a deed in this town in 1651, and it may be that he removed shortly to Wells, as he did not sign the Submission here. He was a constable in that town in 1659 and living there in 1677. Perhaps he removed finally to Providence.
WILLIAM FREETHY
He was baptized at Landrake, co. Cornwall, August 22, 1612 and when twenty-three years old he came to Richmond Island in the employ of Trelawny, 1635, as a fisherman (Trelawny Papers, 159), but had left there be- fore 1640, returning to Plymouth, where he married Elizabeth Barker, January 13, 1639. He came back with
219
HISTORY OF YORK
his new wife and settled at Portsmouth, where in 1641 he was fined for disorderly conduct. Nothing further is heard of him until he appeared in York in 1652, when he signed the Submission. He had a grant of a home lot on Ferry Neck and was living there as late as April 1688 (Deeds ix,
PARISH CHURCH OF ST. MICHAEL, LANDRAKE, CORNWALL Where William Freethy was baptized
63). He was fined for drunkenness in 1667 (Court Records i, 300). He became ferryman in 1684, "over the other side of the River where John Stover once lived" (Court Rec- ords). In 1681 and 1683 he deeded most of his real estate and housing to his three sons (Deeds iii, 105; iv, 6). The family genealogy appears in Volume III.
JOHN DAVIS
This was the other John Davis, younger than Major John, born in 1627 (Mass. Arch. cvi, 193), but of his origin nothing is known. He appears first in York in 1652, where he is called a "smith" and signed the Submission the same year. He was, in some way, connected with the new mills on Gorges Creek, and received a grant of ten acres near them, bordering on this creek and forty acres additional in 1652 and 1654 (T. R. i, 18, 25). He removed
220
NEW SETTLERS OF THE THIRD DECADE
to Winter Harbor (Saco), about 1656, lived there some time and set himself up as a "Doctor," as well as occa- sionally occupying the pulpit, "Exercising publiquely." He removed to Cape Porpus to continue his trade and pro- fessional work, and in 1681 his wife Catherine complained of him for not supporting her and compelling her to eat seaweed for nourishment. In 1682 he was chosen deputy to the General Court but the election was disallowed. In 1684 he entered into a contract with Scarboro to cure Francis White for eleven pounds (Town Records). His final move was to Portsmouth where he followed his dual occupations. There his wife Catherine again charged him with non-support, repeating her former allegations that she "was fain to eat sea-weed to keep from perishing." In 1699, as a "smith" he sold his lot on Gorges Creek to James Plaisted, and in the jurat he is called "Doctor." In the last month of that year, as "Doctor," he was pre- sented for being drunk, and there we part with him, add- ing the statement that he left no known descendants in York.
WILLIAM ELLINGHAM
Only a brief record of residence in York belongs to this transient who was a millwright and carpenter by trade. He came here from Kittery where he may have been a resident in 1647, living on a grant of four acres and operat- ing a mill which he leased of Nicholas Shapleigh (Maine Court Records i, 170). His father-in-law or step-father Thomas Booth also lived there, whose daughter Christian he had married. Ellingham sold his house and lot in 1651 and removed to this town, with his partner Hugh Gale, and they built the mills on Gorges Creek that year. He signed the Submission in 1652 and the next year sold them and his mill privileges (Deeds i, 17), returning to Kittery. He was living there as late as 1665, but the rest of his story belongs to the neighboring town and the adjoining province, although York is indebted to him for its first mills on the east side of the river.
HUGH GALE
He was a partner of Ellingham in the milling business in Kittery and like him a transient resident of York. Prob- ably he came to New England with him from Norton
221
HISTORY OF YORK
Folgate, a hamlet in the parish of St. Leonard, Shoreditch, in the east end of London. He signed the Submission in 1652, and when he sold his share in the mills on Gorges Creek in 1652 it ended his connection with the town and he disappears from the records.
WILLIAM ROGERS
For half a dozen years this settler lived here, 1651- 1655, and occupied scarcely any space in the local records. He was a juror in 1651, also a defendant in an assault and battery case same year; signed the Submission in 1652 and got a land grant on Gorges Neck. The next heard of him is in 1660, when he was administrator of the estate of William Garnesey of this town, and as late as 1671 he was settling up some late claims against it. He probably re- moved to the Isles of Shoals before 1660 (N. H. Deeds iii, 80a), and nothing more is heard of him after 1673.
WILLIAM GARNESEY
He probably came from Bampton, Devonshire, as a William "Garnse" signed the Protestation Roll there in 1641, and his widow Elizabeth returned to Pinhoe, Devon, a nearby parish, after his death. His first appearance here was in November 1652, when he signed the Submission, and in December following he had a grant of ten acres on Gorges Neck, which was officially confirmed to him and laid out in July 1659 (T. R. i, 17, 28). He must have died shortly after, as in 1660 William Rogers was appointed administrator of his estate. As far as known he left no issue here.
JOHN PIERCE
This settler, who followed the occupation of a fisher- man, came to York in 1653 and received a grant of land on Gorges Neck, bordering on Bass Cove, where he lived for about forty years until his death. Nothing occurred in his life of particular interest. He signed a memorial to Massachusetts protesting the failure of their government to give them a stable protection against political agitation; grand juror 1666 and 1667, and somewhere after 1662 he married Mrs. Phebe Nash, widow of Isaac, who had re-
222
NEW SETTLERS OF THE THIRD DECADE
moved from Dover to York. She had been granted admin- istration of her late husband's estate in July 1662, and Pierce had become her surety. She was living in 1670 (Deeds ii, 91), and both of them were probably killed in the massacre on Candlemas Day. Inventory of his estate was taken September 26, 1692, by Matthew Austin and James Plaisted, his neighbors, and amounted to £35-3-6 (Ibid. v, 75). His name is not perpetuated in the town, as he left only two daughters as issue of his marriage:
i. Jane, m. John Bracey.
ii. Anne, m. (1) Alexander MeNair and (2) Malcolm McIntire.
MATTHEW AUSTIN
Matthewlupton
Of this prominent citizen and resident of Cider Hill nothing
definite is known as to his origin. There were numer- ous Austin families in Kent, the source of several of our settlers. A Matthew Austin of Tenterden died in Tenterden (the home of the Tilden emigrant) in 1554, and a Matthew of the same parish, tailor, died in 1609, leaving a family. Others of this Christian name resided in Wye, Addisham, Wickhambreaux at the period of the emigration of our Matthew. He is first of record in July 1653 (T. R. i, 21). At that time he was thirty-three years old, having been born in 1620 (Deeds i, 163), and in 1659 he became sergeant of the military company; in 1665 he was first elected Selectman. He held this latter office in 1669, 1670, 1671, 1672, 1673, 1676 and 1678. He was a weaver by occupation (Deeds iv, 66). He was an "uncle" of Jeremy and Joseph Tibbetts of Dover, perhaps through marriage with a daughter of Thomas Canney of that town, but later of York. If so, he married a second wife, Mrs. Mary (Davis) Dodd, daughter of Nicholas Davis, and widow of George Dodd of Boston. She survived him and married for a third husband William Wright of Boston and later of York (Deeds vi, 75; ix, 33), and in 1714 was a widow for the third time. Matthew Austin drew his will Novem- ber 19, 1684, "a little before his death," but it was not allowed by the court because it was "not so Clearly & Me- thodically done to the understanding & satisfaction either of authority & some others of sd Mathew Austines relations,
223
HISTORY OF YORK
who were most.espetally Concern'd therein, vidzt Mary Austine his wife & Mathew his onely sonn" (Deeds iv, 66). The parties called in Arthur Bragdon, Senior and John Sayward as arbitrators and friends. The uncertain- ties of the will related to the bequests of his real property to his wife and his son and its reversions, and a com- promise was reached, apparently satisfactory to all con- cerned, and was signed by the widow, his son Matthew, and his daughters Mary (Sayward) and Sarah Austin on June 6, 1686. Matthew Austin, Sr., left the following issue:
i. Matthew (only son).
ii. Mary, b. about 1665; m. (1) Jonathan Sayward and (2) Lewis Bane.
iii. Sarah, b. about 1667; m. (1) Joseph Preble and (2) Job Young.
iv. Isabella, b. about 1675; m. Samuel Bragdon.
The genealogy of this family appears in Volume III.
THOMAS MOULTON
cho moulton The progenitor of one of the oldest and most distin- guished families in this town, Thomas Moulton, was a de- scendant of a well-to-do line of yeomen, living long before 1500 in the parish of Great Ormsby, County of Norfolk, England.1 It is situated about five miles north of Yarmouth, the great fishing port of England on the North Sea. The name is found in the early English records as Multon, Muleton, Mowleton, Mouton and Moton, but the emigrant used the form in which it is found today. The ancestry and genealogy of this family appears in Volume III of this work and it will be sufficient here to state that he was the son of Robert and Mary (Smyth) Moulton, born in 1606 and baptized at Great Ormesby, July 16, 1608, where he lived until his emigration. After the death of his father (1633) and mother (1636), he and his elder brother John came to New England and settled in 1636-7 at Newbury, Mass. From thence they removed to Hampton, N. H., in 1638, where they lived side by side until 1655, when Thomas came to York with his wife and
1 Generous and enthusiastic descendants have given him the accolade and be- stowed a title on him as Sir Thomas Moulton, but this is confined to a few who do not understand that coats of arms do not belong to the yeomanry. There is no record of a grant of arms to his family and the one shown is a spurious one painted about 1800 by a traveling artist named Coles.

NEW SETTLERS OF THE THIRD DECADE
five of his children. What inducement caused him to sell out there is not known, as he had no relatives here to induce the change. He bought seventy acres of John Alcock, in what is now Scotland in 1655 (which he sold in
CHURCH OF ST. MARGARET, GREAT ORMSBY, NORFOLK Where Thomas Moulton was baptized
1657 to Alexander Maxwell), and in 1656 bought twenty acres of Capt. John Davis on Gorges Neck, on which he lived until his death.
Beyond holding office as Selectman in 1679 and 1681 he did not enter public life, as far as known. He married, probably in Hampton, Martha (surname unknown), about 1638, the mother of all his children. Date of death of both is unknown, but they were living September 26, 1684, when they transferred all their real estate to their sons Jeremiah and Joseph in consideration of support during their lives. They had the following children:
i. Thomas, bapt. Nov. 24, 1639; prob. d.s.p. (Feb. 18, 1665, Savage).
ii. Daniel, bapt. Feb. 13, 1641-2; removed to Portsmouth and d.s.p. iii. Abigail, (1645).
iv. Joseph, (1648).
v. Jeremiah, 1650.
vi. Mary, b. January 25, 1651-2.
vii. Hannah, b. June 19, 1655.
225
HISTORY OF YORK
HENRY SAYWARD
Hemno Payword One of the picturesque and aggressive char- acters who set- tled in York in this decade was Henry Sayward, who came here in 1656 and for nearly a quarter of a century dominated the milling industry here. According to his own story he came to New England in 1637 (Mass. Arch. lix, 114), apparently as a boy of ten years, for he deposed in 1671, aged about forty-four years, which carried his birth to 1627 (N. H. Court Files i, 509). He was, without doubt, son of John and Anne ( )
Saward, yeoman, of Farnham, co. Essex, and it is further probable that this John was the son of Edmond, and baptized at Margaret Roding, Essex, March 25, 1572, a parish ten miles distant. The will of John of Farnham, dated November 24, 1646, names his son Henry and his grandson Samuel, son of his deceased son Edmond (Com- missary of London, Essex and Herts, unregistered will No. 35). This corresponds exactly to the known family record in New England. Farnham is only six miles from Hatfield Broad Oak, the home of Abraham Morrill, his partner in the milling business. He appeared first of record in the town of Salisbury, where on January 25, 1641-2, Abraham Morrill and Henry Sayward were granted sixty acres, near the falls, in what is now Ames- bury, provided they would set up a mill to grind corn before the following October, (Hoyt, Salisbury i, 25In). As far as known this condition was not fulfilled, and on July 8, 1642 he was granted land for a home lot, and another on September 8, 1642 in Hampton as a site for a corn mill (Dow, Hampton 531). These facts seem inconsistent with the age of Sayward, at that time only fifteen years old, and so incapable of entering into a contract. He must have been at least ten years older than stated in the above quoted deposition, and 1617 was probably the date of his birth.1
In 1650 he sold his Hampton property and removed to
1 The original record of this deposition reads "fourety ffouer" which would be easily misread for "fivety." Sayward was indebted to Morrill in 1662 (Essex Prob. Rec. i, 400).

NEW SETTLERS OF THE THIRD DECADE
Sagamore Creek, Portsmouth, where he lived with a John Davis, perhaps the one who came here in 1652 and owned a lot on Gorges Neck, near the mills. He sold out all his Portsmouth holdings May 29, 1655 (N. H. Deeds ii, 51a), and probably came at once to York. He was granted a lot of twelve acres on the southeast side of Gorges Creek in 1658 and three hundred acres of timber land on the west side of the river in 1667 (T. R. i, 26, 34), besides buying several smaller lots and timber rights (Deeds i, 102; ii, 162, 165). In 1665 he contracted to build the new (second) meetinghouse, and after completing it in 1667, his entire milling plant was destroyed by fire in 1669, and he suf- fered a severe financial loss of about a thousand pounds. He sent this petition to the General Court October 15, 1669 for relief :
Thatt whereas your peticioner have beene an inhabitantt in this Countery for the space of thirty two yeares and upwards, since he came from England, in all which tyme hee hath been wholy employed in following his Calling in building of Mills and such like, haveing there by neglected looking after Land, for himself and family, as others have done, by which Calling by the blessing of God, hee hath bene very benefitiall to the Countery, and many persons therein, though through seaverall afflictions by the providence of God it hath bene butt to his owne benefitt, butt mostt Espetially by reason of a sad providence thatt hapned in bur(n)ing of his mills att Yorke, wheare in your petitioner lostt above a thousand pounds, which hath brought him much bee hind hand, for the recovering of which, in partt. There are seaverall workmen to whom your petitioner have bene very benifitiall by instructing of them in his Calling, thatt volantarily offer him their helping hand, Moreover alsoe Seaverall of the towne of Wells have informed your petitioner, of a Convenient place for the seating of a Saw Mill, upon a River Called Cape Porpose River. .
(Mass. Arch. lxix, 114)
The Court granted him liberty "for the Cuttinge of Tymber" as requested. He did not rebuild here, but tried his fortune in Wells at Cape Porpus, on the Mousam River at the solicitation of the people there. In 1674 he extended his operations to Royall's River in North Yar- mouth, in partnership with Bartholomew Gedney of Salem (Ibid. ii, 430).
His new projects led him into a veritable maze of mortgages which, combined with a lack of working capital, started his financial downfall, and the outbreak of King Philip's War completed the wreck of his enterprises. He died early in 1679 deeply in debt, and a contest followed
227

between the widow and the mortgagees, and in 1680 she was appointed administratrix of his estate and tried to manage the property for herself and the children. He died intestate and two inventories of his property were taken by his neighbors, as follows:

This new settler received a grant of a lot in 1659 on the road to the mills, adjoining Henry Simpson and John Twisden, and in 1661 another grant of thirty acres which he sold to Isaac Everest in 1669 (Deeds ii, 164). In 1672 he had a further grant of thirty acres, at the seaside, on the road to Cape Neddick, on which he built a house, and in 1675 he sold it to Richard Woods (Ibid iii, 12), and probably left town. He was a carpenter by occupation and served as constable in 1665. He was twice married, as in 1669 he speaks of "my now wife Hannah" (Ibid. ii, 69).
