LARNED William Learned, immigrant ancestor, is found as the first one admitted to the present First Church of Charlestown, with his wife Goodith, October 10, 1632. His wife's name is said to be a corrupt spelling of Judith, by some, and an old English name, from the Saxon, Gooditha, by other authorities. The one called the widow of William was named Jane and Sarah, in different records, so that his wife's true name is hard to determine. It has been said that William came from Bermondsey parish, county Surrey, England, to America in February, 1624, although his son Isaac was born that month and his daugh- ter Mary was buried in England in July, 1625. His name appears in the list of admitted in- habitants of the town in 1630, to whom plant- ing lots were given, and his name is also on the lists for January 9, 1633, in 1635, and in 1636, and he received shares of hay ground. and a portion of marsh land, February 11. 1637.

He was one of the signers of the remonstrance against the condemning and banishing of Rev. John Wheelwright, at the time of the controversy which originated with Mrs. Anne Hutchin- son. There is also a record, "Willi. Larnet acknowledged his fault in subscribing the
seditious writing and desiring his name to be crossed out, it was yelded to him and crossed." On February 26, 1638, he was on a committee to make a body of laws. Ile was one of the seven who. August 14, 1642, formed the first church of Woburn, and on November 24, 1642, he gave a lot for the town, which he was interested in settling. He was chosen constable, April 13, 1643, and February 9, 1644-45. He died March 1, 1646. November 24, 1660, "Widow Sarah Learned, of Malden," died, and an inventory of her estate was made in December, 1660. Doubtless Sarah, Jane and Goodith must have all referred to William Learned's wife. al- though Jane may have been a second wife.
