SYLVESTER.
The form of this name in Colonial days was Silvester, an orthography still maintained by some branches of the family.
RICHARD1 SILVESTER, d. Sept., 1663; m. (1) Emeline -, who died later than Sept., 1651, when she acknowledged a sale of land; (2) Naomi Torrey [d. Nov., 1668]. He came to America in the Winthrop fleet of 1630, and settled in Weymouth, where he was made freeman in 1634, but later was fined and disfranchised for attempting the organization of a second church in the town. After this he chose a new home in a location now included in the town of Marshfield. Apparently he was possessed of a goodly property for those times.
JOHN2 (Richard1), b. Mar., 1635; d. Aug. or Sept., 1706; m. Sarah He lived near the line between Scituate and Marshfield, Mass.
JOSEPH3 (John2, Richard1), bapt. Mar. 31, 1674; d. soon after Aug., 1744; m. Mary -. He appears to have passed his life on his parental farm.
JOSEPH4 (Joseph3, John2, Richard1), bapt. Oct. 15, 1727; d. Aug. 21, 1818; m. Feb. 14, 1755, Bradbury Hatch [b. about 1739; d. June 11, 1807].

He came from Marshfield or its immediate vicinity to New Ipswich in 1815, and became a farmer living upon a road now traced with difficulty, but then extending from Governor's Hill to Ashby, (90, A. D.,) where he remained until his death. He was known as "Capt. Sylvester," but as

Apr. 8, 1847] ; (2) Nov. 25, 1852, Abi A. Adams [b. Feb. 2, 1793]. Apparently he came to New Ipswich about the same time as his father and lived upon the same farm until his father's death, being its owner during the latter portion, at least, of their joint occupancy. The later years of his life were passed in Smith Village, where he occupied a part of the house at the corner of the road entering the village from the east, and facing southward toward the school-house. He was there occupied in repairing shoes and other activities suited to the bodily infirmities of his later years. Children :

TAYLOR.
WILLIAM1 TAYLOR, probably born in England, d. Dec. 6, 1696; m. Mary, dau. of Joseph and Sarah (Goldstone) Meriam [d. Dec. 10, 1699], who came with her parents from Hadlow, Kent, England, in 1638. He first appears on the records of Concord and his "house Tot" adjoined the land of John Meriam, probably his brother-in-law, at "Meriam's corner," since noted as the point where on the nineteenth of April, 1775, the re- treating British troops were attacked by the Provincials approaching on a different road from that taken by the British soldiers, and the dis- orderly fight began.
ABRAHAM2 (William1), b. Concord, Nov. 14, 1656; d. June 19, 1729; m. Dec., 1681, Mary Whittaker [b. Mar., 1662; d. Feb. 18, 1756]. He seems to have passed his life as a blacksmith in his native town, and to have occupied his father's "house lot."
ABRAHAM3 (Abraham2, William1), b. Jan. 11, 1682/3; m. (1) Dec. 9, 1706, Sarah Pellet [d. before 1718]; (2) Mary - He was a yeoman, and had a considerable portion of the farm of his grandfather in the Bedford portion of Concord. Before 1718 he removed to Dunstable and settled in that part of the town which was separated from Massachusetts by an authoritative location of the disputed New Hampshire line.
DAVID3 (Abraham2, William1), b. Jan. 31, 1698/9; m. Hannah - He lived in Bedford.
SAMUEL4 (Abraham3, Abraham2, William1), b. Concord, Oct. 1, 1708; d. Dunstable, Oct. 23, 1792; m. 1733, Susanna Perham of Chelmsford [d. Oct. 14, 1798]. He was a prominent citizen of Dunstable, "active in town and church, a justice of the peace and a deacon." He had eleven children, two of whom were among the early settlers in New Ipswich. He owned land in the town, but is believed never to have been a resident upon it.
1. AMOS4 (Abraham3, Abraham2, William1), b. Dunstable, Sept. 10, 1725; m. May 21, 1747, Bridget Martin. He was the youngest child of Abraham3 and Mary, instead of the son of Samuel4, as assumed in the former history. He settled near the geographical center of the town upon the farm long known as the "Bucknam farm," (XII: 2, S. R.,) and was a member of the church at the time of its formation. But he seems to have removed soon after. He removed from Hollis to Brook- line in 1772, and thence to Stoddard, where his name appears upon the earliest tax-list in 1784. He responded to the Revo- lutionary call of April, 1775, and he was a member of the company of Capt. Reuben Dow from Hollis, which company was at Bunker Hill. Children :
4. i. AMos, b. Dunstable, Sept. 7, 1748.
5. ii. EDMUND, b. Dunstable, May 4, 1750; m. Hepzibah, dau. of John and Mary (Whitcomb) French of Nelson [b. Hollis, Jan. 31, 1752]. He settled at Cavendish, Vt.

JONATHAN4 (David3, Abraham?, William1), b. Bedford, Feb. 27, 1729; d. Ashburnham, Oct. 21, 1815; m. Concord, Aug. 29, 1754, Mary Jones [d. Dec. 21, 1811]. He lived in Bedford until 1769, when he removed to Ashburnham, where he was a very prominent citizen holding important town offices. "During the Revolution his public service was conspicuous." He was a member of the Committee of Correspondence, and had a seat in the Provincial Congress which assembled at Concord in 1774, 1775, and 1776. Although he was by no means a young man, he bore a musket to Concord in April, 1775.
2. REUBEN5 (Samuel4, Abraham3, Abraham2, William1), b. Mar. 8, 1736; d. May 9, 1813; m. Lucy - - [b. about 1738; d. July 1, 1814]. He came to New Ipswich about 1757 and set- tled at almost the exact center of the town upon the lot next east from that of his uncle; his lot, (XI : 2, S. R.,) previously owned by his father, was occupied by members of his family for considerably more than a century, but now, like the ad- joining farm, has passed into the possession of the twentieth- century settlers from Finland.

D.,) where he passed his life. Children :
