MAYO.
I. REV. JOHN1 MAYO, came to America, probably, in 1638; was ordained colleague with Kev.

he removed to Harwich (Brewster), where he d., Feb. I, 1726. IV. JOSEPH4 MAYO, a son of the preceding John3, was b. in Hingham, Dec. 22, 1696, d. at Harwich (Brewster), 1772; m., Feb. 20, 1717/8, Abigail Merrick. V. MOSES5 MAYO, son of Joseph4, b. in Harwich (Brewster), Feb. 1, 1721, lived there till he was aged, then moved to Hardwick, Mass., where he d., March 7, 1812. He m., March 10, 1743/3, Phebe Freeman.
1. BENJAMIN6 MAYO, undoubtedly a son of Moses5 and Phebe (Free- man) Mayo, was baptized at Harwich (Brewster), Aug. 28, 1768, and went to Hardwick, Mass., with, or before, his father. We have not learned the place and date of his death. He went from Princeton, Mass., to Marlborough, N. H., in 1794. He moved from Marlborough to S., and owned and lived upon the old farm at 257, afterwards occupied by D. B. Brooks, from 1806 to 1808. He m., March 31, 1793, Sarah (Sallie) Gleason, b. in Princeton, Mass., Feb. 5, 1772 ; d., place unknown, July 16, 1853; dau. of Thomas and Sarah (Stratton) Gleason of Princeton. She was a sister of Mrs. Amasa Brown, Sr., who lived on the old Bayley place at 25812, also at 259 and, later, at 258. They had three ch., b. in Marlborough : 1. Sarah7 (Sally), b., Feb. 20, 1794; 2. Hannah7, b., July 2, 1796; 3. Benjamin1, Jr., b., Sept. 28, 1798. We do not know the later history of any of these. A child of Mr. Mayo d. in S., in 1806 (possibly on May 12, the church register is a little indefinite), but this imperfect record leaves us in doubt whether one of these three is intended, or whether there was another whose name and birth we do not know. Mr. Mayo moved to S. in 1806. He had previously lived in Marlborough after his marriage. The Marlborough records give only these three ch. We, therefore, conclude that the child which died was one of these, and the youngest, Benjamin, Jr., would most likely be the one whose age would call for the designation, " child."
METCALF.
I. FAMILY OF EZRA METCALF.
1. EZRA1 METCALF, who had been living for some years in Keene and other places, bought, in 1781, the farm where James W. Osgood lived until after the middle of the nineteenth century. Mr. Osgood's house was at 167, but Mr. Metcalf's house was probably some rods west of this site, which was placed on a piece of land added by the Osgoods to the east side of the farm. Mr. Metcalf owned the original farm until 1789. We know from deeds that he had buildings upon the place, and that he was living in them in 1788, but was living in Keene when he sold the farm in 1789. At other times, he owned other land in Sullivan, upon which he never lived apparently. He probably came from Topsfield, Mass., or descended from Metcalfs who came from that town. His wife's first name was Abigail. We know no more of her nor of him. They had four ch., all b. in Keene, before he bought the place in Sullivan. The eldest two d. in Keene. They were : I. Thamar2, b., Sept. 6, 1773 ; d., Oct. 2, 1773 ; 2. Polly 2, b., Nov. 8, 1774; d. in Keene, Aug. 15, 1789 ; 3. Jemima2, b., Aug. 19, 1777 ; 4. John2, b., Sept. 14, 1779.
