native of Chester, a large seaport town in the north of England. We have not learned the precise time of his immigration to this country, but it was not far from 1660, when he and three other youths, cach about fourteen years of age, mutually agreed to leave their native land and go to America. They knew of a ship that was going to New England; and the night before it sailed they privately concealed themselves in the hold of the vessel, with a small quantity of provisions to live on a few days. The vessel sailed the next morning. When they had been to sea a few days, a strange noise was heard in the hold : the hatchways were opened, and these four lads came on deck, to the surprise of all the ship's crew. The captain said he must return with them, for it was against the law for the captain of a vessel to transport any of the inhabitants of England to America, except they obtained license to go there. But both of the mates and all the ship's crew thought it best to proceed, and the captain finally fell in with their opinion, and brought them all safe to New England. Soon after young Capron's arrival in this country, a family by the name of Callender, with whom he was acquainted in England, came over and settled in Rehoboth, Mass. They are said to have been a very respecta- ble family, and in affluent circumstances. Young Capron renewed his acquaintance with them, and afterwards married one of the daughters, and settled in the adjoining town of Barrington, where he lived about twenty years, and then removed to Attleborough, where he resided till his death, which took place, Aug. 20, 1752, being nearly ninety years old. He is described as being of medium stature, well built, of a light com- plexion, blue eyes, and reddish hair. He was thrice married, and had twelve children, eleven of whom lived to marry and have families : Banfield, Joseph, Edward, Walter, John, Jonathan, Betsey, Mary, Han- nah, Margaret, Sarah, and a daughter who died young. Jonathan was b. March 11, 1705; he m. Rebecca Morse, who d. Aug. 29, 1772. He was a farmer, and resided with his father at Attleborough.
1 JONATHAN CAPRON, second son of Jonathan and Re- becca (Morse) Capron, m. Alice Alden, b. July 12, 1733. She was a great-granddaughter of Hon. John and Priscilla (Mullens) Alden, who came over in the "May- flower." He came to Marl. at an early date, and settled on the farm afterwards owned by Benjamin Whitney.

STEPHEN CHURCH was in town as early as 1770. He appears to have been a man of much influence in the township, and was for some time proprietor's clerk. His writing, which is in a fair, bold hand, shows him to have been a man of some education. Being a carpenter by trade, he was employed to take charge of the framing and raising of the old meeting-house. The eastern part of the house now owned by Ivory E. Gates was also
