(The Dighton Line).
Dighton is a surname taken from several localities of that name in Yorkshire, England; a chapelry, a parish and a township in this county all bear the name. Families of Dightons were found early in England, and they were listed on the ancient rolls in the time of Edward III. Petrus de Dighton, Margaretta de Digh- ton, and Johannes de Dyghton are all found in the Poll Taxes of West Riding, Yorkshire, in 1379.
(Bardsley : "Dictionary of English and Welsh Surnames.")
(I) DOCTOR JOHN DEIGHTON, or DIGHTON, died in Gloucester City, England, May 16, 1640. He was an eminent and distinguished surgeon in Gloucester for many years. Dr. Dighton and his wife are buried in St. Nicholas' Church, Glou- cester; their tombstone inscription reads as follows:
Here lies interred the bodies of John Deighton, of this city, Gent., and Jane, his wife, daughter of Edward Bassett, Uley, by whom he had issue of three sons and four daughters. He spent all his time in the study of chirurgery and attained great knowledge therein. He died May 10, 1640, and she died April 23, 1631.

His will was dated January 31, 1638-39, and proved May 21, 1640. Dr. Digh- ton married, before 1611, Jane Bassett, born at Uley Manor, died in Gloucester, April 23, 1631. She was the daughter of Edward Bassett and Elizabeth Lygon (sometimes written Isabel) ; and granddaughter of William and Jane (Ashe) Bassett, of Somersetshire; and Henry and Elizabeth (Berkeley) Lygon. Jane Bassett's family was a distinguished one, and had been in possession of Uley Manor for ten generations. Children (records are found for only five of the seven mentioned in the inscription) :
I. John, Jr.
2. Jane; married (first) John Lugg, from near Gloucester, England. They removed to Boston, Massachusetts, where their children were born. Jane was admitted a mem- ber of the First Church, February 10, 1638-39. She married (second), after Octo- ber 10, 1647, Jonathan Negus.
3. Frances, of whom further.
4. Katherine, baptized in St. Nicholas Church, Biglands, Gloucester, January 16, 1614. She married (first) Samuel Haighburne, or Hayburne, and moved to Roxbury, Massachusetts. Samuel Haighburne died January 24, leaving five children; Kath- erine married (second), April 14, 1644, Thomas Dudley, Governor of Massachu- setts, 1634, and 1640-50. He died July 31, 1653, leaving three children, and she married (third), November 8, 1653, Rev. John Allin, of Dedham, and had three chil- dren. She and her husband died within three days of each other and were buried, in August, 1671, in one grave.
5. Damaris, was made executrix of her father's will in 1638. She may have married Henry Uxley, as he was called "Uncle Uxley," by several of her nephews in New Eng- land; his name is on record only once as a resident of Taunton, when one of these nephews acquired land formerly in his possession.

(The Gallop Line).
The name Gallop, or Gallup, is German, and is derived from "Gott" and "Lobe," meaning God and praise. One tradition is that it was Kolopp, of Lorraine, of which one bearer of the name went into Normandy and accompanied the Con- queror into England, where the name became Gallop, Gollopp, Goloppe, and Golop. The spelling, Gallup, predominates in New England records.
It is not known, but suggested, that John Gallop, of Taunton, Massachusetts, was a near relative of Humphrey Gallop, of Dorchester, Massachusetts, who was considered a person of note (1630), but of whom little is known. The family of Gollop, as given in the history of John Gallup, of Boston and Connecticut, came from County Dorset, England, and was descended from a John Gollop, who "came out of the North" (Scandinavia) in 1465, and married Alice Temple, of County Dorset.

(I) JOHN GALLOP (or GOLLOP), of Taunton, Massachusetts, died probably between 1654 and 1669. Taunton records show that he was there March 2, 1640- 1641, and his name appeared in the military list of Taunton in August, 1643. On February 18, 1651-52, it was ordered and granted that John Gallop as an "ancient inhabitant" of Taunton should have certain land rights. He was highway sur- veyor, June 5, 1651, and March 13, 1651-52, he witnessed the will of Henry Andrews, of Taunton. His land is referred to December 18, 1655, as "the greate lots" formerly granted to him and Clement Maxfield, of Taunton. In 1669, rec- ords of six acres of plain granted to Esther Gallop exist, also reference was made to land originally owned by John Gallop, but "now, 1739, owned by William and Henry Hodges, grandsons." On November 26, 1672, "Easter Gallop" (then nine- teen years old) was named in the list of Taunton South Purchase Proprietors, and in a supplementary declaratory deed, dated March 18, 1683-84. The statement is made in a list of persons entitled to be proprietors of Taunton (May 14, 1675), that John Gallop's rights were then held by Henry Hodges.
John Gallop married, probably, Charity Hall, born about 1634-35, died June 3, 17II, daughter of George Hall, Taunton, Massachusetts. It is thought that she married (second) Richard Burt. John and Charity (Hall) Gallop were the par- ents of a child :
1. Esther, of whom further.
("New England Historical and Genealogical Register," Vol. LIV, pp. 89-90.)
(II) ESTHER GALLOP, daughter of John and, perhaps, Charity (Hall) Gal- lop, was born in Taunton, Massachusetts, July 21, 1653. She married Henry Hodges. (Hodges II.)
(A. D. Hodges, Jr .: "Genealogical Record of the Hodges Family of New England," p. 75. "Vital Records of Taunton, Massachusetts," Vol. I, p. 183; Vol. II, p. 206.)
(The Andrews Line).
Of English origin, the family name Andrews, variously spelled Andrewes, Anders, and Anderson, is derived from the "son of Andrew." It was very popular during the thirteenth century, and as the name of the patron saint and knightly champion of Scotland was widespread in that country. Both Andrews and Ander- son have followed the Scotch emigration so that the United States and Canada have many families of the name. Its quaint varied spellings can be found in old records and documents; Robert Andreu Nicholas fil. Andree, John Andre and Henry fil. Andr' are mentioned as early as 1273 in English records.
(Bardsley : "Dictionary of English and Welsh Surnames.")
(I) HENRY ANDREWS, the immigrant ancestor of our Andrews line, was born in England, in 1611, and died in Taunton, Massachusetts, in 1653. He was one of the original purchasers of Taunton, in 1637, from the Indians. His name was included in the list of freemen from Cohasset, Massachusetts, March 7, 1636. Henry Andrews was one of the first two deputies from Taunton to the General Court in 1639; he also acted as deputy in 1642-43-47 and 1649. As the builder of the first meetinghouse in Taunton the town conveyed to him "the calf pasture," in 1647. He was one of the first stockholders in the Taunton Iron Works, and was con- sidered among the wealthy men of the town.

2. Mary, of whom further.
3. Abigail.
4. Sarah; married, April 1, 1664, Israel Talbot.

(II) MARY ANDREWS, daughter of Henry and Mary Andrews, was born about 1629, and died after 1700, in which year she is known to have been an inn- keeper. On March 15, 1654-55, as a widow she made a deed of gift to her two children, John and William Hodges, of land and other property, and bound Peter Pitts, "in case I make him my husband," to perform the conditions of the deed. She probably married him soon after, but the record has not been found, as it was undoubtedly destroyed in the great Taunton fire. Mary Andrews married (first) William Hodges (Hodges I); and (second) Peter Pitts, whose will was proved January 12, 1692-93. She had six children by her second marriage.

(The Gooding Line).
The surname Gooding is a baptismal name; a form of Godwin, or Goodwin, an old personal name. In the old rolls we find Lucas fil. Godwin, in County Cam- bridge, in 1273; Alice fil. Godewine and John Godwin in County Oxford, and Wil- liam Godewyne in County Norfolk. These old records show the various forms of the name in early times. The suffix win, commonly became in, en, ing ; because of this in some instances Godwin and Goodwin changed to Gooding.
(Bardsley: "Dictionary of English and Welsh Surnames.")
(I) MATTHEW GOODWIN (GOODING), yeoman, was born at North Petherton, Somersetshire, England, in 1593. He married Joanna. Children :
1. Thomas.
2. Matthew.
3. George, of whom further.
4. Richard.
5. Joanna.

(II) GEORGE GOODING (GOODWIN), son of Matthew and Joanna Goodwin, was born in Huntworthy, parish of North Petherton, Somersetshire, England, in 1633, and died in Dighton, Massachusetts, January 1, 1712. Some authorities state that George Gooding had settled in Taunton but a short time before his mar- riage, when he was about fifty-two; other authorities say that he came to America about 1667, and settled first in Taunton, but became in 1680 one of the two earliest settlers in Dighton, the other being Captain Jared Talbut in 1678. Dighton was called the Taunton South Purchase in 1672, when it was bought by a company of
251
HOOPER
Taunton men. Later its name was changed to Dighton in honor of Richard Wil- liams' wife, Frances Dighton, who was descended from a well-known family in England; the town was incorporated in 1712. George Gooding was the clerk of the Proprietors of South Purchase, when he built his homestead there in 1680. This homestead stood on Centre Street and was the home of his descendants through seven generations for over a century and a half, until it fell into decay.
George Gooding's name is found in a list of forty rateable men, inhabitants of Taunton, upon whose application the vestry was to convey a whole or part of the land of Thomas Covam, for the building of a church. Thomas Covam left Taun- ton to return to London, where he was the founder of the Foundling Hospital, and in 1703, the year in which he left, disposed in this manner of his farm there to the vestrymen of the Church of England in Boston.
That his wife was the daughter of James Walker is proven by a deed signed by George Gooding, stating :
This is to declare that my father-in-law James Walker gave me the money that bought the land mentioned in the deed, for which I humbly thank him.
The gift of this money may account for the fact that his wife was not men- tioned in her father's will in 1691.
George Gooding married, in Taunton, Massachusetts, February 9, 1685-86, Deborah Walker. (Walker III.) Children :
I. Joanna, of whom further.
2. Mary, died before 1780; married Josiah Walker.
3. Sarah; married, April 25, 1732, Josiah Talbott, of Dighton.
4. Matthew, born June 12, 1695, died in Dighton, Massachusetts; married (first), in 1723, Abigail Richmond, daughter of Lieutenant Joseph Richmond, of Middleboro, Mas- sachusetts; married (second) Mercy Crane, of Berkley, Massachusetts. Matthew inherited his father's estate and carried on the farm in Dighton. He became the grandfather of the illustrious brothers who conducted the manufacture of watches and clocks, which was a flourishing industry in Dighton and in Bristol, Rhode Island, for many years. There were factories in Plymouth and Boston.

(III) JOANNA GOODING, daughter of George and Deborah (Walker) Good- ing, was born March 13, 1687, and died March 19, 1765. She married, at Digh- ton, Captain John Godfrey. (Godfrey III.)

(The Walker Line).
Walker is an occupational surname, that is, the bearer of the name in the first instance derived it from his being a fuller of cloth, or one who stamped or pressed on it. Because of its derivation the name is widespread, and of early origin. We find in "Piers Plowman," the following lines :
Cloth that cometh fro the wevying Is naught comely to wear Till it be fulled under foot.

Many Walkers are listed in the ancient rolls; Geoffrey le Walkare, of London, in 1273; Peter le Walkar, of County Gloucester; Wilhelmus Walkere, fullo, in 1379, and Johanna Walkar, in the same year.
(Bardsley: "Dictionary of English and Welsh Surnames.")
(I) WIDOW WALKER, of Rehoboth, Massachusetts, was one of the first pur- chasers and proprietors of the town of Seacunk, or Seekonk, now Rehoboth, and one of the company who first settled there. Her name is in the list of those who in 1643 gave in the value of their estates for a pro rata division of the lands. Her estate was valued at fifty pounds. In the division made June 31, 1644, she had a share and lots were assigned her in several later divisions; in the drawing for the Great Plain, and on the 18th, 12 mo. (February), 1646, for the New Meadow. Her name disappears from the records after this last date, 1646. From where in England she came, when or where she died, is not known. It has only been found that she was associated with an adventurous company, most of whom went out from Weymouth into the wilderness; a company marked for its religious char- acter; the highly educated and scholarly Rev. Samuel Newman being in some respects the leader of the enterprise. It is probable that she left England a widow, perhaps with her younger son, Philip, and came to New England to meet her two older children, James and Sarah, who came to America in 1635 with their uncle and guardian, John Browne (aged forty years). He may have been her brother or brother-in-law; he died in Rehoboth, April 10, 1662, after having been for many years a prominent member of the settlement. Children of Widow Walker:
1. Sarah, born in 1618, "came age 17 years, with her brother James in the ship "Elizabeth" sailing from London, April 15, 1635. Servant to William Bracey (or Brasey), linen draper, Cheapside, London." She died in Taunton, Massachusetts, December, 1676; married, about 1638, John Tisdale, of Duxbury, who was killed by the Indians after they had first burned his home, June 27, 1675. His death occurred in Taunton, where he had moved with his family about 1653. They had eight children : John, James, Joshua, Elizabeth, Sarah, Mary, Abigail, and Joseph.
2. James, of whom further.
3. Deacon Philip, came probably with his mother, about 1643, from England. His name first appears on the records of Rehoboth in a deed dated 1653. He died and was buried in Rehoboth, Massachusetts, Angust 21, 1679. He was a weaver in 1659, and eventually became one of the wealthiest men in the settlement. He was on the grand jury May 17, 1655, took the oath of fidelity, and was admitted a freeman June 1, 1658. On June 22, 1658, his name appears with the first division of Reho- both North Purchase (now Attleboro), when lots were drawn for "the meadow on the north side of the Town," and again May 26, 1668, in the division of lands in the North Purchase. He was a surveyor in 1657; constable in 1658; on the grand inquest 1668 and 1678, and Deputy to Plymouth Court in 1669; one of the select- men for several years between 1666 and 1675; deacon of the church, called "Good- man" Walker, and with a committee was appointed to build a parsonage. He was prominent in his efforts and sacrifices for the maintenance and usefulness of the ministry and the protection of the settlement from Indian ravages. He fought in the war against Philip in 1675. He married, about 1654, Jane Metcalf, daughter of Michael Metcalf, of Dedham, who married (second), June 2, 1684, John Polley, of Roxbury. She died in Roxbury, in 1702. Philip and Jane (Metcalf) Walker had: Samuel, Sarah, Philip, Jr., Marcey, Experience, Elizabeth, Michael, Ebenezer, and Martha.

(II) JAMES WALKER, born about 1620, came "age 15 years, an apprentice to Mr. John Broune, a baker, on the ship 'Elizabeth,' sailing from London, April 15, 1635." He died in Taunton, Massachusetts, February 18, 1691. James Walker may have lived first in Weymouth, as he was appointed by the Plymouth Court to make the purchase of Asameeum, the Indian chief. His name does not appear on the list of those who went from Weymouth to Rehoboth, as he never lived there, but settled permanently in Taunton. He appears, however, on the records of Rehoboth, in June, 1643-44, with his mother, giving the value of his estate as £50. A record was subjoined that his share "is now John Fitch's"; he forfeited his land there in 1644, as the law ordered that proprietors who did not fence their land or settle on it should forfeit their property. His name is mentioned again in a division of land in Rehoboth, in 1645. In 1679, he was one of the appraisers of his brother Philip's estate in that town.
His name first appears in Taunton in 1643; he was admitted freeman, June 8, 1650. James Walker was a man of great esteem in his community and an exten- sive landowner. He was a partner in the iron works and sawmill. In 1643, his name appears on a list of those subject to military duty, and in the same year he was a juryman. April 9, 1645, his name with five others was listed to draw lots for land on the Great Plain. In 1646, he delivered a letter from Governor Winslow, of Plymouth Colony, to Governor Winthrop, when he went to administer the estate of his wife's kinsman, Samuel Crum, 4 (4), 1646, a wine cooper, of Boston, who died about (3), 1646. In 1652 and 1685, he was constable; selectman for eight years, 1666-79; representative or deputy to Plymouth Court for sixteen years, 1654-79; in 1649, 1650, 1651, and 1658, was one to "order Town affairs," and from 1667-76, was on the town council. December 28, 1659, division of land was agreed upon for proprietors according to rate, and that of James Walker was "8 heads, 96 acres, and the rate £ 1.5s.7d." In 1662, James Walker was authorized to administer oaths and to marry persons; he performed a marriage in 1680. In June, 1668, North Purchase was added to Taunton and he was one of fifty-two proprietors granted land there, although no settlement was made until sometime later. In 1671, James Walker and John Richmond, Jr., were authorized on behalf of the town of Taunton to purchase from the Indians land lying on the west side of Taunton River, from "Three Mile River to Store House." In this same year, 1671, James Walker was on the council of war. He became owner of the rights of Mr. John Broune and of Mr. John Luther. On July 31, 1675, his home was burned by Philip's Indians while Philip was hiding in the wilderness around Taun- ton. He was one of six proprietors to purchase from the government Assonate Neck, which had been taken from the Indians; this tract was later annexed to Taunton. On May 25, 1680, he was elected at a town meeting to revise the town orders, records and deeds and bring them into shape for safe keeping. In Febru- ary, 1688, James and Sir Peter each gave ten acres to Captain B. Tipping for sell- ing his house and lot to Reverend Danforth. In June, 1678, Deacon Walker had been chosen to treat with Reverend Angier about his salary as a minister of the town and to devise the mode of raising the sum needed ; Gilbert Brooks and three others to act with him.
James Walker was a servant of the Plymouth Colony, holding many positions of trust and responsibility and well deserved the title of "Servant of the Church
254

and the State." He was probably of more than ordinary intelligence, of excellent judgment, devoted to the welfare of the civil and religious life of the colony. He married (first), before 1646, Elizabeth Philips, born in 1619, died in Taunton, July 30, 1678, daughter of William and Elizabeth (Parker) Philips. He married (second), November 4, 1678, Sarah Rew, widow of Edward Rew, and daughter of John Richmond, one of the first purchasers of Taunton, in 1637. Children of first marriage :
I. James, Jr., born about 1646, died June 22, 1718; married, December 23, 1673, Bathsheba Brooks, who died February 24, 1738, daughter of Gilbert and Elizabeth (Winslow) Brooks, the latter being the daughter of Edward Winslow of the "Mayflower." He was a constable in 1682 and 1689. He and his brother, Peter, were granted lands in South Purchase when it was added to Taunton in 1672-73. He was made a free- man in 1689; and received several grants of land from time to time. He was licensed to keep an ordinary in 1679, on June 3. James Walker had eleven chil- dren : James, Elizabeth, Nathan, David, Bathsheba, Mehitable, Mercy, Nehemiah, Josiah, Rebecca, and Mary.
2. Peter, born in 1649, died April 4, 17II; married Hannah, who died January 15, 1704, aged forty-four. Peter was an iron dealer in company with James Philips. He built, in 1700, an iron furnace on the island formed by the division of Three Mile River and North Dighton; for more than a century his descendants continued the work. He was an extensive land owner by deed of gift from his father. He was appointed with Joseph and Samuel Richmond to lay out "The Highway from Bayting Brook to Assonet." He had six children: Peter, Jr., Edward, James, Abigail, Catharine, and Hannah.
3. Hester (or Esther), born in 1650, died April 8, 1696; married, January 1, 1679, Joseph Woode (later Atwood), who married (second), October 18, 1696-97, Abigail Paul. 4. Eleazer, born in 1662, died December 15, 1724, unmarried; left his property to the children of his brothers and sisters.
5. Deborah, of whom further.
There were perhaps other children, as in 1659, before the birth of Deborah, he was listed as having "eight heads in his family."
