THE HEATH FAMILIES
I. The Heaths of Bristol are the descendants of William I., who came from England with his wife, Mary, and five chil- dren, on frigate Lyon, landing Sept. 16, 1632. All his children were b. in London. They settled in Roxbury, Mass. He was a member of the first assembly of deputies, May 14, 1634, and for some years subsequently. He d. May 29, 1652 ; his wife, Mary, d. Dec. 16, 1659. One of his children was
2. Peleg, who m. Susanna. He res. in Roxbury ; was freeman in 1652, and d. of wounds Nov. 18, 1671. He had nine children, of whom the sixth was
3. William, b. Jan. 30, 1664. He m. Hannah Weld, Nov. II, 1685 ; settled in Roxbury, and d. Nov. 3, 1738, ae. 74-9-3. He had nine children, of whom the seventh was
4. Samuel, b. Dec. 27, 1701. He was a well-to-do farmer in Plaistow. He was probably living with his son, Samuel, in that part of Bridgewater now, Bristol, in 1794, as this year it was voted to allow Samuel Heath, Jr., "ten shillings for his father on account of his carrying Molly Clark out of town." He was the father of at least five

9. Daniel. He was evidently in that part of New Chester now Bris- tol as early as 1779, as his name appears on the tax-list of that year. In 1785, he was taxed for three acres of tillage land, twelve acres of mowing and twelve of pasturage. The amount of land under cultivation was more than that of any other resident of New Chester, except Cutting Favor and Benjamin Emmons, who had about the same. At the first meeting of the new town of Bridgewater. (1788), he served as modera- tor and was then elected as constable for the collection of taxes. He served as moderator at meetings held Nov. 3 and Dec. 15 of the same

year. At a meeting held Apr. 2, 1789, Samuel Worthen was chosen a collector "to complete the collection of taxes for 1788, committed to Daniel Heath, deceased." By this it would seem that Daniel Heath died between Dec. 15, 1788, and Apr. 2, 1789. He probably d. after the annual meeting in March or the election of a successor would have taken place at that time. He d. "while on a business trip to Coos county." His farm was that now owned by Hiram T. Heath, three miles east of Central square. The buildings were on the opposite side of the road from the present farmhouse. That he had a family is apparent. He had among his children
a. Daniel. He enlisted in the Revolutionary army from New Chester in June, 1780, when his age was given as 16 years. The marriage of Daniel Heath, Jr., and Joanna Ingalls was recorded as solemnized by Elder Ward, Mar. 8, 1785. A Daniel Heath m. Abigail Ingalls, dau. of Jonathan (See), Nov. 12, 1795, and a Daniel Heath m. Judith George, of Sandwich, June 1, 1797. These three may be identical, but there is nothing to establish the fact.
(6) Samuel Heath, b. 1754, was a Revolutionary soldier from Plaistow. He was a resident of Plymouth 1779 to 1785, when he removed to Bristol. He m., Apr. 11, 1782, Sarah Webster, of Plymouth. Mrs. Lewis Heath, a daughter-in-law, said he bought the Heath farm, in 1794, of his brother, Stephen. If so, it would seem that Stephen succeeded Daniel in the ownership. Samuel was a teamster as well as farmer and made trips to Boston for freight, occupying two weeks for each trip. He d. in Bristol, June 13, 1833, ae. 79. She d. Bristol, July 7, 1839, ae. 76-2-7.
