BRIEF BIOGRAPHIES.
Joanna Prudden, Sept. 19, 1671. He died Aug. 4, 1674, and is buried with his wife, Mary, at Little Neck, Wannamoisett. See pp. 68-74, 485. Business, merchant, trader, and farmer ; offices held, Captain of Plymouth militia, Assistant to Governor, 1651-1664; member of Council of war; Assistant Commander in chief at Manhattan, Mayor of New York for two terms from June, 1665; co-founder of Swansea with John Myles and John Brown, and several other offices in Town and Colony.
REV. SHEARJASHUB BOURNE is a descendant from the noted family of that name of Bristol. His ancestor, Shearjashub Bourne, m. Ruth Church in 1747, and the old Bible name has been an heir-loom in the fam- ily and its offshoots. Mr. Bourne is a Congregational minister and has filled useful pastorates in New York city and vicinity. Mr. Bourne, with his family, has been a resident of Barrington for several years, and is thoroughly a Barrington man in spirit and action. One son, Alexander, is a graduate of B. U., and a pastor of the Congregational Church at Exeter, N. H.
THE GARDNERS, John Q. A. and sons, have identified themselves with the best interests of the town since their residence at Rumstick. Their farm contains the celebrated Scamscammuck Spring, which is worthy of bearing the name of the distinguished Indian chief, who dwelt on Barrington soil. The evidences of Indian occupation of these lands are varied and interesting, and the owners of Scamscammuck prize it, not only for the abundance, purity, and coolness of its waters, but also for its aboriginal associations. Mr. J. Q. A. Gardner has held several town offices, and has been a Representative, and Mr. Herbert M. Gardner has been elected as moderator of town meetings, and a member and pres- ident of the Town Council.
Among those of our adopted citizens of foreign birth, who have con- tributed to the growth of the town and by their industry, prudence, and other distinguishing individual qualities, have made a good record for themselves and families, may be named, John Burke, James Doran, Pat- rick Martin, James Kirby, Robert Tobin. Barrington has always been a hospitable home for honest men of whatever race, color, or religion, and the fact that the children of some of the families named have attained professional eminence and a fair share of this world's goods, is evidence of the truth of the lines :
7
" Honor and shame from no conditions rise; Act well thy part, there all the honor lies."
THE HEATHS are from Rev. Peleg Heath, the minister of the Congre- gational Church.
THE PECKS are from Joseph Peck, who came to America with his brother, Rev. Robert Peck, in the ship Diligent, in 1638, and landed at Hingham. The town records say, " Mr. Joseph Peck, with his wife and three sons and daughter, and two men servants and three maid servants, came from Old Hingham, and settled at New Hingham."

THE HISTORY OF BARRINGTON.
Alfred H. Littlefield, Lieut. Gov. Daniel G. Littlefield, and others. The location of this beautiful village is between Bullock's and Nayatt Points, and commands both passages of the Bay, the Islands, and the east and west shores. The land on which the cottages stand was a part of the Sowams Purchase of Massasoit in 1653 ; was purchased by William Allin. Senior, about 1669, and under its soil sleep the bones of Wampanoag In- dians, and the implements of agriculture and hunting are found near the surface. Lovers of romance, poetry, and lovely summer scenes can revel at will at beautiful "Annawomscutt on the Bay."
JAMES BOWEN. Son of Jeremiah and Lillas Bowen; born January, 1773, died Oct. 27, 1856, at the ripe age of 83 years. His father was a sea captain, and James commenced a sailor's life at the early age of ten and continued to follow the seas for thirty years. Before his twenty-fifth birthday he commanded the brig Agenora, a merchant vessel, with offi- cers and crew younger than himself. His school education was very lim- ited, owing to the reverses shared by his family in time of the Revolu- tion, yet his close observation and careful study of men gave him a clear insight into business and a sound judgment in practical life. By fortu- nate risks, careful attention to business, and a wise economy, he gathered a goodly share of wealth. His townsmen honored him with many public offices, among which was that of being the first senator from Barrington in the General Assembly. Mr. Bowen was judge of the Court of Com- mon Pleas for Bristol County for several years. Captain and Judge Bowen lived a useful and honored life and was lamented at his death.
RICHMOND VIALL. Son of Anson and Elizabeth Viall; b. 1834; in early life a jeweler at Attleboro, Mass., and Providence; later entered the employ of The Brown & Sharpe Mfg. Company, Providence, where, by unquestioned ability and faithful service, has attained and holds the responsible position of superintendent of that great establishment. Mr. Viall is a firm believer in the doctrine that the discipline of education, devotion to business, and correct habits of living are the fundamentals to success in all departments of life, and what he believes he has practised through a successful career.
Among the builders of New Barrington, reference has been made to Mr. William H. Smith and Mrs. Martha B. Smith, whose activities were devoted to the best interests of the town. Mr. Smith was honored with several town offices and was a representative in the Legislature. Mrs. Smith was a woman of unusual mental and moral power, and with larger opportunities would have ranked with the best intellects of her sex. Her mind was clear, original, vigorous, always seeking for the truth, and in her family, in the church and in society was a leader in thought and action. Her life has inspired all to noble motives and conceptions of life, and a daughter, Mrs. Hannah B. Buffington, holds the responsible posi- tion of matron of the Home for Aged Men in Providence. The epitaph to her husband, found on another page, well applies to Mrs. Smith, who passed on to the higher life in a serene old age.

OLD MAPS.
The maps facing page 5So are of great interest and of historic value. The one, which represents the Wampanoag territory, is a part of the first map made in New England, and aids us in locating ancient Sowams. The Crown which indicates the royal residence is on the peninsula between the two branches of the Sowams or Great River. For further reference see page 106, and the whole of chapter viii. Sowams and Bar- rington, pp. 90-111. The one, which represents the Bay and adjoining territory, is a part of the map of the Commissioners of the Eastern boundary line and is found in the British State Paper office, London. The line, 1, 2, 4, separated Swansea from Rehoboth, and the territory, 1, 2, 3, is old Barrington of 1717-1747. See Chap. xvi., pp. 182-198.
AUTOGRAPHS.
The autographs which follow, and those facing page 602, are exact fac similes of the originals, found on deeds, wills, and other manuscript documents in the possession of the author. The dates of the autographs appear against the names, and identify, in most cases, the period of ma- ture life of the signer. The order of arrangement is accidental.
