Boston, Nov. 1, 1887.
To ihe Editor ofthe JN. E. Hist, and Gen. Register:
At your request I send you herewith for publication in the
Register a copy of my remarks in introducing Henry Fitz-Gilbert
"Waters, A.M., on the occasion of his address before the N. E. H.
G. Society on the afternoon of Wednesday, March 2, 1887.
The society — although founded to aid genealogical as well as
historical investigations — has, I think wisely, always refrained
from offering to make special researches in genealogy. Such a
course would inevitably be considered as involving a guaranty of the
correctness ofthe results obtained, and an assurance that the sources
of information explored under our sanction or by our authority, had
been exhausted, — an undertaking which, in the light of the discove
ries made by Mr. Waters in fields so intelligently and industriously
worked in vain by others, it would be extremely injudicious for us
to assume. Very truly yours, A. C. GOODELL, Jr.

DAVID Clapp & Son, Printera, Boston.

EEMAEKS 01^
MR. WATERS'S ENGLISH RESEARCHES.

Gentlemen :
The business specially assigned for this afternoon is to listen to what our
honored associate, Mr. Henry Fitz-Gilbert Waters, of Salem, has to tell us
of his labors in Somerset House, and elsewhere in England, in procuring
what he modestly calls " gleanings " from the rich stores of materials there
deposited, illustrative of the transatlantic history of such of our American
families as are descended from English-speaking ancestry. These re
searches necessarily broaden so as to comprehend numerous allied families,
some of them of historic renown in Great Britain and Ireland, whose sur
names are not to be found in cis-Atlantic records ; and judging from what
Mr. Waters has already given us in the fifteen instalments of these glean
ings, separately printed from The New England Historical and Gene
alogical Register, and forming a series of transcendant value and in
terest to genealogists, we can scarcely indulge in too extravagant expecta
tions for the future.
To those who have kept the run of Mr. Waters's researches as printed in
the Register, and have attentively read the admirable prefaces with which
the chairman of the committee on English Research has introduced the re
prints of some of these articles, it were worse than idle for me to offer a
word in explanation of the plan Mr. Waters has mapped out for his work,
and pursued with commendable persistency notwithstanding the temptation
to deviate from it in order to gratify his inclination to oblige those who
feel impatient to have him occasionally direct his inquiries particularly
to the pedigrees of individual families in which they are, respectively,
interested. But with your permission I will assume that some of us have
not fully understood his plan, and that a brief prefatory explanation by
me will, therefore, be acceptable, although it may possibly trench npon the
field which we have agreed to resign to him exclusively to-day.
Briefly, then, Mr. Waters's method is to examine all the records between
certain dates, seriatim, keeping a sharp lookout for everything possibly in
dicative of the slightest connection with known American families. Some
times, undoubtedly, this method will involve the necessity of a review of
some portion of the field explored by him ; but that is rendered compara
tively easy by the exclusion of such records as may have already proved
serviceable. I am sure that some of us, before we fully comprehended the advantages
of his method, were inclined to doubt whether it was as judicious as that

of special genealogical searches for particular families. Our late lamented
associate, Mr. Chester, was a successful investigator in that line. He never
found it an interruption to entertain any new and special subject of inquiry
presented by his numerous American correspondents, and his researches
were conducted so intelligently, and with such accuracy and thoroughness, as
to excite our admiration and make us feel, when he was cut off in the
midst of his labors, that his loss was irreparable. But the comparative
results attained by these investigators, each unexcelled in his chosen meth
od, leave no doubt whatever of the superiority of the plan adopted by Mr.
Waters. Mr. Chester would, I am sure, if he were living, approve of the method
of his successor, which has been so fruitful of astonishing results, and join
heartily in declaring that much of his valuable time, although most intelli
gently and most faithfully employed, had been misspent.
An illustration of the difference between the two methods may be found
in the researches of these gentlemen respecting the ancestry of John Rog
ers of Dedham, from whom are descended several distinguished divines and
laymen in Essex County in this commonwealth. Mr. Chester, although him
self descended from the Rev. Nathaniel Rogers of Ipswich, had succeeded,
much against his will, in clearly disproving the current tradition— a tradition
accepted by Hutchinson in his History of Massachusetts, and later so ably
defended by Augustus D. Rogers, Esq., the accomplished genealogist of
the Essex-county family^that the Ipswich minister, who was a son of John
of Dedham, was descended from the martyr of Queen Mary's reign ; still,
notwithstanding what seemed an exhaustive research, Mr. Chester failed
to establish the true pedigree. This it was left to Mr. Waters to do most
effectually, by his method of proceeding through the records page by
page, and gleaning all apparently relevant matter until he found the
clew. His researches and discoveries relating to this family are the sub
ject upon which he has been invited to speak to-day. Before we listen to
his discourse, however, let me read to you an extract from the last of three
letters written by Col. Chester to Mr. Augustus D. Rogers. These letters,
from Mr. Chester are dated respectively, 13 January and 17 February,
1877, and 9 March, 1878. They give us an idea ofthe zeal and industry with
which that distinguished genealogist had pursued the object which led him
into the paths of genealogical research, and show the depth of his disap
pointment at his inability to continue the Rogers pedigree beyond Richard
of Weathersfield.
It redoubles our sympathy and causes poignant regret to observe, in view
of Mr. Waters's discoveries, that Mr. Chester was thus baffled in the pur
suit of an object so dear to his heart, and which, had he known it, lay
almost within his grasp, and would assuredly have been attained by him
had he followed the course adopted by his fortunate successor. Hear him :
March 9, 1878.
 You must recollect that 1 take as deep an interest in the Rogers pedigree as
you or any body else can, as there is no doubt about my descent from Rev. John
Rogers of Dedham, and if I had been able to add anything to what I have hereto
fore published, 1 should have done so. I have been pursuing these inquiries here
fbr now nearly twenty years, and you may be sure that I have left no stone
unturned. The other letters, which I will not detain you by reading, were even
more positive in the assurance that " If any further progress is ever made
[in these inquiries] it will be by accident;" and he adds in the letter last

quoted, " But my impression is that the earlier ancestors of the family were
of a rank iu life so humble that they never got into the public records. If
I could think of anything more to do, you may be sure that I would do it.
.... My Rogers collections are enormous, and I know of nothing that
has escaped me."
You will have learned, before we adjourn, that Mr. Chester's prediction
that the discovery of auy traces of the Rogers line before Ricliard would
be accidental, was not verified, and that Mr. Waters's success in tracing
the line was the result of the comprehensive and regular method adopted
by him upou mature deliberation and pursued with patient industry.
In like manner Mr. Waters's discoveries relating to the parentage of the
founder of our oldest University, with which all are familiar, were shrewdly
anticipated by a guess which Mr. Chester ventured to communicate to the
editor of the Register a short time before his death, tliough at the same
time, with the instinct of a true genealogist, he modestly declined to claim
it as a discovery until it should be corroborated by unquestionable proof.
The process of consecutive "gleaning" would undoubtedly have led him
on to the demonstration which Mr. Waters has made, of the date of birth
and the family connections of him who has, not irreverently, been called
by one of our most eminent historical scholars, '¦'the Melchisedec of New
England." Let us remember that, in pursuit of some satisfactory trace of
the parentage of John Harvard, the late Hon. James Savage, that indefati
gable student of New England genealogy, nearly fifty years ago, crossed the
Atlantic, but failed to find more than his signature and the mention of his
name anywhere recorded. He is known to have declared " that he
would gladly have given five hundred dollars to get five lines about him in
any capacity, public or private."
I take this opportunity to ask such of you as may have been expecting
from Mr. Waters interesting fragments concerning pedigrees in which you
are particularly interested, to consider whether or not the results already
attained by him have proved the wisdom of his course, and at the same
time to entreat you not to be impatient for items which will assuredly be
" gleaned " in due time, if they are in existence, and then be brought out
with such a wealth of important concomitant facts, ramifying in numerous
directions, as to make the acquisition all that the most curious genealogist
could desire.
Another subject which I cannot too earnestly press upon your attention,
is our need of funds to carry on the work already so triumphantly prose
cuted. I trust I shall not be charged with exaggeration if I express the
opinion, that nothing in the career of this'sooiety has reflected greater credit
upon it than the more than 200 octavo pages of Genealogical Gleanings
contributed by Mr. Waters. Indeed, I think you will agree with me, that
in view of the difiiculty of procuring this material — the short time daOy
allowed for the inspection of the public records in England (which numer
ous searchers are equally desirous to examine at the same time), and the
degree of learning and experience required not only in deciphering the
crabbed and obsolete chirography and the abbreviated phrases in barbarous
and technical Latin, with which the records of the English ecclesiastical
courts abound, but also the intimate and rare knowledge of our domestic
family history, absolutely necessary to qualify any person for the work,
these researches, when completed, cannot be ranked in importance below
Mr. Savage's great work, the Genealogical Dictionary of New England.
I say this remembering all the difficulties that Mr. Savage must have en-

6
countered, but at the same time not forgetting the assistance he receiv-' i
from a multitude of co-workers, and the facilities afforded by our systeiu
of public registration.
Mr. Waters's first visit to England on the business of searching the re^ -
ords, was in 1879. He sailed on his second voyage May 5, 1883, and i ¦.
once began the labors in Somerset House which he had planned after the
experience he had gained in his first visit to England. Here by his special
skill in interpreting the records, and the generous interest he manifested in
the labors of others whom he there found engaged iu similar researches,
and the aid he ever cheerfully afforded to these co-workers, he soon began
to enjoy exceptional opportunities for prosecuting his labors with the great
est economy of time, and secured the cooperation of his fellow-workers,
who generously reciprocated his attentions to their wants.
This briefly outlines the manner of Mr. Waters's employment abroad,
which would have been productive of proportionally greater results if the
amount subscribed for the prosecution of his work had been large enough
to have enabled him to employ copyists to do the drudgery which he was
forced to perform with his own pen, by which the amount of time allotted
to his principal and chosen work — that of research — was greatly diminished.
Much delay and discomfort also were caused by the uncertainty of his em
ployment. There was a constant anxiety attendant upon the doubt as to
whether or not his remittances were to be continued after what had been
already subscribed for him had been exhausted, and upon the uncertainty
of the prospect of securing a permanent fund, yielding a fixed income,
which his friends had assured him they should labor to obtain. These
anxieties wore upon his health, until at length he was obliged to return
home to recupei'ate. I am most happy to be able to report that his health
has been restored, and that he is ready aud even anxious to recommence
his labors abroad. I invite you to consider seriously the project of raising
the necessary fund for this purpose, aud to use your utmost endeavors to
carry it through successfully.
I have heard inquiry made as to how this society happened in an espe
cial manner to be the patron of this work. The answer to this inquiry is
simple, and may as well be given now, even at the risk of further defer
ring Mr. Waters's address, for which I feel sure he will pardon me, under
the circumstances. The following extracts from our records tell the story.
I read first from the record of the Board of Directors for Tuesday, October
3, 1882.
Mr. Hassam .spoke upon the desirability, since the death of Col. Chester, of having
a competent per.son in London to make genealogical researches for the English an"^
cestry of Araerican families. Several persons having expressed a wish fhat Mr.
Henry F,_ Waters, of Salem, a member of the publishing committee of this society,
could be induced to take up his residence in London and engage in such researches.
fie had been consulted on the subject, and had offered to devote his time to the in
vestigation of the English pedigrees of American families, if $15(10 a year for three
years could be secured to hiin. Mr. ^Vaters spent several months in England a year
or two ago, with very satisfactory results. On Mr.^Hassam's motion, a committee
was chosen, consisting of John T. Hassam, Hon. Jaraes W. Austin and John \V .
Dean, to consider the matter of opening a subscription to raise the money and to
open such a subscription if they deemed it advisable. '

toric Genealogical Society. Attest, John W. Dean, °
Secretary of the Board.
I will next read from the same records for Tuesday, May 1, 1883.

Mr. Hassam, chairman ofthe committee to raise funds to employ Mr. Waters to
visit England and engage in genealogical researches for the society, reported that
upwards of two thousand dollars had been subscribed for that purpose. On his
motion, it was
Voted, That the committee on English Records be, and they hereby are, author
ized to secure tbe services of Henry E. Waters on such terms as may seem to them
expedient, provided, however, that this society be not made pecuniarily liatile in a
sum exceeding that which shall be subscribed and paid in for the purpose of search
ing said reeords.
_ A true copy from the record of the Board of Directors of the New England Histo
ric Genealogical Society. Attest, John Ward Dean,
Secretary of the Board.
The subscription lists started in accordance with this authorization, were
most generously circulated by and among members of sister societies — nota
bly the Massachusetts Historical Society, many leading members of which
have not only manifested the warmest interest in Mr. Waters's researches,
but have been ever ready to contribute towards defraying the expense of
the work, and to solicit subscriptions from others.
It is most gratifying to remember this cordial cooperation in a good
work. Let us hope that the spirit of hearty good-will thus exhibited will
ever continue to exist between all societies engaged in a common pursuit,
though in lines not always coincident, and, perhaps, by means not produc
tive of results, in all respects, equaUy valuable to the general historian.
The leading specialities of this society are local history and genealogy, and
these researches of Mr. Waters are legitimately and peculiarly within the
latter province. We therefore confidently, and as a matter of right and
duty, appeal to the lovers of American history everywhere to assist us in
this great and most promising enterprise to dispel the obscurities which
have hitherto shrouded the antecedents of those men of great and good in
tentions, who rescued the territory now possessed by their descendants from
the savage tribes that here held feeble sway in what we may properly call,
as applied to this western hemisphere, prehistoric times.
Those early immigrants who " builded better than they knew," and
who cannot, in the inexorable judgment of history, escape censure,
especially if tested by the high standards of our present civilization,
were our common progenitors, of whom it is our pride to believe that,
notwithstanding their failings, they were not inferior, in all that con
stitutes nobility of nature and loftiness of aim, to the contemporaneous an
cestry of any people on the face of the earth. Everything, therefore,
which tends to bring out more vividly and particularly the incidents and
surroundings of their early lives, and to show by what infiuences their
characters were moulded, and from what sources their peculiar ideas were
derived, it should be the common interest of all to endeavor to obtain with
out a jealous thought as to the channel through which the information is
derived. ,
I know you will join me in disclaiming any selfish desire for precedence
in the claim to merit for Mr. Waters's discoveries. So that we may be
assured that the good work will be continued to the end, the credit of
patronizing it we consider a secondary matter; and I venture to affirm that
I have your full concurrence in adding that we are willing to divide the
honors, or yield them altogether, rather than have this invaluable work
abandoned, or even longer suspended.
But I must no longer detain you from the pleasure of listening to Mr.
Waters, whom I have now the honor to present to you.

GENEALOGICAL GLEANINGS
IN ENGLAND.

PREFACE. By John T. Hassam.

The New England Historic Genealogical Society, throuo-h
its Committee on English Research, has undertaken to make an ex
haustive search of the English Records, on a plan never before
attempted, for everything which concerns the family history of the
early settlers of this country. For this purpose it has secured the
services of the eminent antiquary Henry Fitz Gilbert Waters.
Mr. Waters sailed for England May 5, 1883, and at once entered
upon his great work. Before a twelvemonth had passed he had
accumulated a vast amount of historical and genealogical material,
including abstracts of more than six hundred wills relating to Ameri-
can families, and he is still industriously engaged in adding to his
invaluable collections. Some ofthe results of his researches, under
the title of " Genealogical Gleanings in England," have been given
to the public in the New England Historical and Genealogical
Register, the organ of the Society. It has now been deemed
advisable to reprint some of these "Gleanings" in a form more
convenient for reference. The present volume includes the various
instalments published in the Register from July, 1883, to April,
1885, inclusive.
It has been found impossible heretofore in most cases to satisfac
torily establish the relationship between English and American
families of the same name, and this failure to connect has been to
the American genealogist the source of his greatest trouble. The
searches now undertaken promise for the first time to meet and
overcome this difficulty. The method adopted by Mr. Waters, so
different from that of his predecessors, has, as was predicted, brought
to light information which has escaped the attention of all other
investigators. In this way only will it be possible to find and make

IV preface.
accessible every clew which can serve to connect American families,
distinguished or obscure, with the parent stock in England. The
large number of Virginia wills contained in the present volume shows
that this search is conducted in no narrow spirit, and that every
American of English origin, in every part of our country, ought to
feel an interest in this work.
In addition to these genealogical researches, Mr. Waters has made
historical discoveries of the highest value. We owe to him the
finding of the Winthrop map and the Maverick MS., two of the
most important contributions made in our day to our early colonial
history. For an account of the former the reader is referred to the
Proceedings of the Massachusetts Historical Society for June, 1884
(XXI. 211), and the Register for July, 1884 (XXXVIII. 342).
The Maverick MS. was printed in the Proceedings of the Massa
chusetts Historical Society for October, 1884 (XXI. 231), and in
the Register for January, 1885 (XXXIX. 33). These dis
coveries have excited great attention among historical students, not
only in this country but also in England.
The New England Historic Genealogical Society, having no fund
at its disposal which could properly be used to defray the expense
of this most important historical mission, has been obliged to rely
upon the voluntary contributions of public spirit'ed men to meet the
cost of the work, and the responses to its appeals have always been
prompt and generous. But it is necessary, for the successful prose
cution of the undertaking, that money sufficient to carry it on unin
terruptedly for a series of years should be obtained, and the committee
confidently hope for further subscriptions for this purpose.
The index of the persons named in this volume is the work of
Frank E. Bradish, Esq., a member ofthe Society.

Emery, in his "Ministry of Taunton," i. 43-5, quotes " a manuscript of con
siderable antiquity," but evidently not written before 1718, which states that
" Richard Williams was descended from a family of that name in Glamorganshire,
io Wales, and found a wife in Gloucestershire, England." The same manuscript

Btates that his wife was Frances Dighton, sister of Katharine, second wife of Gov.
Thomas Dudley. Baylies, in his " Historical Memoir of New Plymouth, part i.
p. 284, says there was a tradition that Williams was a relative ot Oliver Cromwell.
He also prints (i. 272) a letter from the Rev. Roger Williams, in which reference
is made to "my brother." Baylies thinks this may be Richard Williams, ot
Taunton. . _, „. , ,

[Edmund Munnings, aged 40, came to New England in 1635, in the Abigail,
Robert Hackwell, master, bringing with him his wife Mary, aged 30 years, daugh
ters Mary and Anna, and son Mahalaleel, respectively nine, six and three years of
age. He settled in Dorchester, where he had grants of land, among thera thr.t of
Moon Island, "layd to Dorchester" by the General Court, June 2, 1641. This
Island contained about twenty acres of land, and was used for pasturage, it may have
been, for two and a half centuries. On the northerly side was a high bluff; souther
ly it was connected at very low water, by the bars or flats of the island, with the pro
montory of Squantum. This island is named on the Dorchester Records, in 1637 and
1638, " Mannings Moone." It is, however, no longer an i.sland, having recently
been joined to Squantum by an artificial isthmus in connection with the great Boston
sewer, the reservoir of which is being built here.
Mr. Munnings had three sons, born and baptized in Dorchester, bearing the sin
gular names of Elopestill, born April 5, 1637, Return, Sept. 7, 1640, and Take
Heed, Oct. 20, 1642. The Dorchester Church Records say that Ilopestill went to
J^pgland. We have also evidence that the father returned and died in his native
clime. Return removed to Boston. Goody Munnings, the mother, was admitted
to the Dorchester church, 16. 2. 1641. On tho " 9 (8) 59, Mahallaeell Munings "
was dismissed from this ehurch " vnto y^ new," or second " church at Boston, &

widow subsequently married Thomas Overman. By the inventory of the estate of

large folio pages in volume three of Suffolk wills and inventories, pages 829 to 231,
the last inventory in the book, it would appear that ho invested largely in English
goods, and was a prominent merchant of his day. In 1667 widow Munnings was
taxed three pence, among these rated for lands at the neck in Dorchester, at a half
penny per acre for the plow land. Mahalaleel went to England, it may have been
with his father, and is doubtless the person who returned to New England in the
Speedwell in 1656, Capt. Locke, master, notwithstanding the slight discrepancy in
age, as given at the two arrivals.
The name of Edmund Munnings, on the 7th of 12 mo. 1641, is affixed to the list,
eonsi.tting of seventy-one, of the inhabitants of Dorchester, who agreed that a rate
of twenty pounds per annum should be paid out ofthe rents of Thompson's island
towards the maintenance of a school in Dorchester. We are not certain that Mr.

jiart, in fee simple, of all that Island whereon he was then dwelling, for
merly called Manhansack-Ahaqua-Shuwamock, now Shelter Island, &c. &c.
also of one moiety or half part, in possession and reversion, of one other
Island, formerly called Robert's Island. He gives and bequeaths to his en
deared wife Grizzell Sylvester, Francis Brinley, James Lloyd, Isaac Arnold,
-Lewis Morris and Daniel Gould, all the above described property, and also
the other moiety or half part of Shelter Island which is claimed in partner
ship by my brother Constant Sylvester and Thomas Middleton, or any part
or parts thereof which may happen to fall due unto me from the said Con
stant Sylvester and Thomas Middleton by reason of the great disburse
ments made by me for the said moiety, &c., in their behalf since the year
1652 until this present year, and likewise by reason of the great sums of
money which my brother Constant doth in particular stand indebted unto
me, as per accounts doth appear, and furthermore by reason of the confis
cation of the said moiety, &c. &c., by the Dutch men of war at their taking
of New York with their fleet of nineteen men of war, they also taking and
surprising the said moiety, &c. &c., as by the chief commanders of the said

sending one of their men of war to Shelter Island where the Captain land
ed with about fifty soldiers, taking possession of the said moiety, &c., and
to strike the greater dread in my family they beset my house, the better to
obtain the money which they forced from me and myself constrained to pay
to prevent their suing of said moiety, &c. &c. The above described prop
erty is to be held in trust for certain purposes. Reference is made to his
wife's jointure, as by a deed left in hands of brother William Coddington of

The witnesses were Temperance Yeardley, Richard Buck, John Cart

[It would appear that John Rolfe was three times married, his first wife bear
ing him in 1609 one male child, which died on the Island of Bermuda. His second
wife was Pocahontas, and his third Jane Pyers, or Poyers, of the text, the mother
of the daughter Elizabeth. The son Thomas appears to have married in England,
having issue Anthony, whose daughter Hannah married Sir Thomas Leigh of co.
Kent,"tbe descendants of that name and ofthe additional highly respectable names of
Bennet and Spencer being now quite numerous. Died prior to 8 Nov. 1682. See

and children — Mara, Gershom, Benoni and Peleg. — R. A. B.]

sundry additions) to be divided into three parts, of which one part to go to
said wife, one part to eldest son ArgoU Yeardley, and the other part to

Commission to administer on the estate of Sir George Yeardley, late in

Yeardley during the absence of the widow, relict, Temperance Yeardley, in
the parts beyond the seas, &c. Admon Act Book for 1628.
[From the Calendar of State Papers, Colonial Series (London, 1860), we learn
that Governor Francis West and the Council of Virginia certified to the Privy Coun-
cil, 20 December, 1627, the death of Governor Sir George Yeardley and the election
of Captain Francis V?est to succeed him in the government. In July, 1629, Ed
mund Rossingham sent in a petition to the Privy Council stating that he was agent
to his uncle Sir George Yeardley, late Governor of Virginia, who dying before any
satisfaction was made to the petitioner for being a chief means of raising his estate
to the value of six thousand pounds, Ralph Yeardley, the brother, took administra-

tion ofthe same. He prayed for relief and that his wrongs might be examined into.
This was referred, July 11, 1629, to Sir Dudley Diggs, Sir Maurice Abbott, Tho
mas Gibbs and Samuel Wrote, late commissioners for that plantation, to examine
into the true state ofthe case. Annexed is the report of Gibbs and Wrote, made 25
Sept. 1629, describing in detail the petitioner's employments from 1613, and award
ing three hundred and sixty pounds as due to him in equity ; also an answer by Ralph
Yeardley, administrator, &c., to Rossingham's petition. In January or February,
1630, Rossingham sent in another petition praying for a final determination. In it
he styles Ralph Yeardley an apothecary of London. On the nineteenth of February
the Privy Council ordered Ralph Yeardley to pay two hundred pounds to the peti
tioner out of his brother's estate, twelve hundred pounds having already come into
the administrator's hand.
Captain Yeardley was chosen Governor of Virginia in 1618, in place of Lord De
la Warr, who is said to have died in Canada, and he departed immediately thither
with two ships and about three hundred men and boys. On the twenty-eighth of
November Chamberlain writes that Captain Yeardley, " a mean fellow," goes Gov
ernor to Virginia, two or three ships being ready. To grace him the more the King
knighted him this week at Newmarket, " which hath set him up so high, that he
flaunts it up and down the streets in extraordinary bravery, with fourteen or fifteen
fair liveries after him." He arrived in Virginia in April, 1619, and is said tohave
brought the colony from a very low state to an extremely flourishing condition. He
was governor again 1626-27. — H. F. W.
Colonel ArgoU Yeardley married Sarah, daughter of John Custis, of Northamp
ton Co., Va., a native of Rotterdam and the founder of the socially distinguished
family of the name in Virginia.
"Colonel" Francis Yeardley (died August, 1657) married Sarah the widow of
Adam Thorowgood and of John Gooking, the latter being her first husband.
The name Yeardley, or properly Yardly, is still represented in the United States,
but I know of none ofthe name in Virginia.
One Abraham Piersey, or Percy, was treasurer ofthe colony of Virginia in 1619.
He may have been the father of the first witness. The other witness was doubtless
Col. William Clayborne, or Claiborne, as it is now rendered, the son of " the rebel "
of the same name, who had the command of a fort in New Kent county in 1676
(Major Lyddal serving with him), and who distinguished himself in the Indian
wars of Bacon's Rebellion. There was of record in King William County, Va., a
certificate of his valorous service, signed by Gov. William Berkeley and attested
by Nathaniel Bacon (senior, ofthe Council) and Philip Ludwill.— R. A. B ]

Williams College :
If Mr. Waters's abstract of the will of Joseph Holland of London, citizen and
clothworker, discredits one conjecture of Dr. Bond in his, history of Watertown, it
strikingly confirms, another conjecture of that author in the same volume. A John
Perry died in Watertown in 1674, aged 61. Another John Perry of Watertown
married Sarah Clary, of Cambridge, Dec. 1667. Bond says the first John was
" probably father" of the second John. Joseph Holland's will makes that guess
a certainty. He leaves bequests " to son-in-law John Perry and Johanna his wife,
my daughter, and Iheir sons 'John Perry and Josias Perry and daughter Elizdheth
Perry.'" Tn another clause : " To my said daughter Johanna certain needle wyrk
wrought by my first wife, her mother." In another clause he leaves twenty pounds
in goods " to my son Nathaniel Holland of Waterton in New England." The first
John Perry was therefore brother-in-law of Nathaniel Holland, and the second his
nephew. The Perrys came to Watertown eight years (1606) after this will was
drawn ( 1658). They were olothworkers, i. e. weavers and tailors, like the Hollands
in London. The London names, John and Johanna and Josiah and Joseph were
kept up constantly araong the Perrys in Watertown and after their removal to' Wor
cester in 1751, and some of them are not even yet disused as christian names in the
family. It is a matter of record in the family Bibles that the two Perrys came to
Watertown from London. Inlerentially, therefore, but certainly, they were among
the heirs mentioned in Joseph Holland's will. .• .- a

That will was drawn before the great fire of London in 1666. Tbe mother of
Mrs. John Perry the elder was already buried in St. Sepulchre Church in 1658 ; and
the good Joseph Holland, citizen and clothworker, directed that big own body should
be buried " on the south side of the christening pew " of that parish church.
A grandson of the second John Perry, Nathan, ^became deacon of the old South
Chureh in Worcester in 1783, and continued in that office till his death in 1806 ;
his son Moses succeeded in the ofBee immediately, and continued in it till his death
in 1842 ; ami his son Samuel succeeded his father and sustained the office thirty-five
years longer, making ninety-four years of continuous service in one family.

[The foregoing extracts show clearly enough the connection of this family with
New England, a fiimily whose name, associated as it is with a .street in which has
been, for so many years, the official residence of the Prime Minister of England,
the centre of the greatest and most wide-spread empire of modern times, and with a
college in one of the most famous universities of the world, i.^ known wherever the
English language is spoken, and bids fair to last so long as English history shall be
read. From some MS. notes furnished me by my very obliging friend Mr. T. 0. Noble,
whose authority on matters connected with the history of the great metropolis
of the world and its surrounding parishes is unquestioned, I find that Sir George
Downing was rated for a house in " New Pallace " (New Palace Yard, Westmin
ster) fbr twenty years previous to 1683, that in 1728 the rentals of the whole of
Downing Street (for assessment) amounted to less than £1000, and in 1828 the total
was £3000. At the present time (1883) the whole street is occupied by the offices
of the government and the residences of the First Lord of the Treasury, Chancellor
of the Exchequer, &c. From the " Memorials of Westminster," by the Rev. Mac
kenzie B. C. Waloott, we learn that " The official residence of the First Lord of tho
Treasury formerly belonged to the Crown : King George I. gave it to Baron Bothmar,
the Hanoverian Minister, for life. After his death King George II. ofiered the house
to Sir Robert Walpole, who only accepted it upon the condition that it should be
attached to the Premiership forever. Since that time, therefore. Downing Street is
inseparably connected with the name of every successive Prime Minister of Eng
land. "_ Chapter III. of tho Appendix to these Memorials gives us additional in

to July 6, 1846. " Sir Robert Walpole accepted it in 1733, and came to reside here
22 Sept. 1735." " In the small waiting-room of No. 14, for the first and only time
in their lives met Sir Arthur Wellesley and Lord Nelson ; the latter was well known
to Sir Arthur from the prints in the shop windows ; they conversed together for
some minutes ; on parting Lord Nelson went out of the room and asked the name
of the stranger whose conversation and appearance had made a deep impression upon
him." lam informed by William H. Richardson, Esq., F.S.A., who is now annotating
" The Annals of Ipswiche, by N. Bacon,"* that George Downing, who was un
doubtedly the father of Emanuel and Nathaniel Downing, was master of the Gram
mar School, Ipswich, about the years 1607 to 1610. His son Emanuel, baptized in
the parish church of St. Lawrence, Ipswich, 12 August, 1585, married at Groton,
Sufiblk, 10 April, 1622, Lucy (baptized 27 January, 1601) , daughter of Adam Win
throp, Esq., and sister of Governor John Winthrop. Mr. Downing was a lawyer
ofthe Inner Temple, London, Attorney in the Court of Wards, and seems to have
lived in the parishes of St. Bridget and of St. Michael, Cornhill. He came over to
New Enrfand in 1638, took up his abode in Salem, was admitted into the church
4 Novetnber of tho same year, and frequently represented the town in the General
Court of the colony. The date of his death is not known, nor has any record yet
been found of any will made by him. We have seen what became of his farm in
Salem. His town residence was conveyed, 8 August, 1656, by Lucie Downing of
Salem, with consent of Emanuel Downing her husband (as is recited in the deed) to
their son Lieut. Joseph Gardner, as the dower of their daughter Ann on her mar
riage with Lieut. Gardner. It was described as a messuage or tenement in Salem
situated upon four acres of ground entire, having the Common on the east, the
street or highway that runs from the meeting-house to the harbor on the south, and
the lane that goes to the North River on the West. This property comprises the
various estates now included between St. Peter, Ess°x, Newbury and Browne
Streets. Lieut. Gardner and his wife sold various lots at either end to sundry
members of the Gardner family, and to Deacon Richard Prince and Mr. William
Browne, Jr. The house, which stood where the residence of the late Col. Francis
Peabody stands, remained as the homestead of Mrs. Gardner. After the untimely
loss of her first husband, who was killed in the great Swamp Fi^ht, 19 December,
1675, she took for a second husband Simon Bradstreet, Esq. ; but Dy the terms of the
marriage contract of 2 May, 1676, the ownership of the homestead remained with
her. it was afterwards commonly known as the Bradstreet house, and was torn
down in 1750, having previously been used as a tavern. On page 75 ofthe first vol
ume of the Begistek, and on page 185 of the fourth volume of Historical Collections
of the Essex Institute, may be seen an engraving representing this house, in which
Sir George Downing probably passed his boyhood while under the tuition of the
Rev. John Fisk, preparing for entrance into Harvard College, from which he was
graduated in that famous first class of 1642. For a long account of him and his
remily, and a list of his published works, see Sibley's Harvard Graduates, vol. i.
pp. 28-51. /
Nathaniel Downing, brother of Emanuel anq uncle of Sir George, was baptized
in the church of St. Mary at the Tower, Ipswiih, 8 October, 1587. He married, 6
May, 1613, Margaret, daughter of Doctor Daniel Selyne (or Selin), a French phy
sician, who diedlO March, 1614-15, and in his will (Rudd, 23) mentions his son-
in-law Nathaniel Downing. Mr. Downing seems to have had one son, Daniel, bap
tized at St. Dionis Backchurch, 5 April, 1614, and buried five days afterwards.
In the Whitehall Evening Post of Febr. 11, 1764, is this letter :
" To the Printer &c. Sir
By the death of Sir Jacob Garrard Downing Bar' an estate of about 5 or

Ithe 24 was travelling in Disguise in Holland, to visit the Queen Mother, attended
only by Lord Falkland, & putting up at an Inn, after he had been there some Time,
the Landlord came to these strangers and said, there was a Beggar-man at tho Door,
very shabbily dressed, who was very importunate to be admitted to them ; on which
tbe King seemed surprised, & after speaking to Lord Falkland, bid the Landlord
admit him. As soon as this Beggar-man entered, he pulled oS' his Beard (which
he had put on for a Disguise) &'lell on his knees, & said he was M' Downing, the
Resident from Oliver Cromwell ; & that he had received Advice of this intended
visit from his Majesty to tbe Queen ; and that, if he ventured any farther, he would
be assassinated ; & begged secrecy of the King, for that his Life depended upon it,
& departed. The King was amazed at this, & said to Lord Falkland, How could this
be known 7 there were but you & the Queen knew of it. Therefore the Queen must
have mentioned this to somebody who gave Advice of it to his Eneinies. How
ever, the King returned back, whereby this Design was prevented. Upon this, after
the Restoration , Sir George Downing was rewarded, made a Baronet & Farmer of the
Customs, &c. &c., whereby this large Estate was raised.
Besides the above Estate of Sir Jacob Garret Downing Bar', which devolves on
the University of Cambridge, another fine Estate, with a handsome house at Put
ney, falls to his Lady."
In the London Chronicle of Jan. 9, 1772, is this Article :
" We are assured that the Heirs at Law [B. P. Ewer of Bangor who married a
Barnardiston] of Sir Jacob Downing Bar' have applied for a Royal Charter to found
& incorporate tho College at Cambridge. A spot is fixed upon for erecting this ed
ifice, which is a spacious Piece of ground, fit for the Purpose, on the South Side of
the Town, opposite the Physic Garden, & between Pembroke & Emanuel Colleges.
A Design is preparing & Application making to tho Owners of the Ground which
belongs to several Bodies Corporate ; & as soon as an Act of Parliament can^be ob
tained to impower them to sell, this noble Benefaction will be carried into imediate
Execution." — n. f. w.
The English genealogical works which attempt to give the ancestry of Sir George
Downing, baronet, give it erroneously. The error seems first to have been promiil-
gated by Anthony a Wood in his Athen<B Oxoniensis, published 1091-2, where,
la an account of Dr. Calybute Downing, the Puritan writer, son of Calybute Down
ing of Shennington, Gloucestershire, Sir George is called his son. The error has
been copied into .=everal Baronetages. Dr. Downing's ancestry has been carried
back through his grandfather, Arthur, of Lexham in Norfolk, to his great-grand
father Geoffrey Downing of Norwich, who married Elizabeth, daughter of Thomas
Wingfield. There arc no indications of a relationship between this family and that of
George Downing of Ipswich, Sufiblk, who, as Mr. Waters shows, was father of
Emanuel, the fatherof Sir George. Savage names Mary, wife of Anthony Stoddard;
James ; Anne, wife of Capt. Joseph Gardner and afterwards of Gov. Simon Brad
street ; John ; and Dorcas, as other children of Emanuel Downing ; and there was
probably also a son Joshua (Mass. II ist. Coll. 4th S. vi.79). Emanuel Downing an
nounces his intention to leave New England in the fall of 1654 with (Jen. Sedgwick
(Ibid. p. 84). He was living as late as Sept. 6, 1658, in Edinburgh (Ibid. p. 86).
His wife was living in England, June 27, 1662 (Ibid. p. 544). The place and date
of death of neither are known. Interesting letters from Emanuel Downing and
other members of his family, are printed in the volume of the Mass. Hist. Coll. cited.
Henry Downing, father of Col. Adam Downing, distinguished as an officer in
William III.'s army in Ireland, may have been, as represented by Burke (Ext. and
Dorm. Baronetage, ed. 1844, p. 163 ; Landed Gentry, ed. 1853, i. 453), a son of Dr.
Calybute. Wc find no evidence that Sir George had a brother Henry.
It is not probable that Wood obtained his information from the family, for the
deed of which Mr. Waters gives an abstract proves that Sharles Downing, son of Sir
George, knew that his grandfather's name was Emanuel so late as 1700, eight years
after the publication of Wood's AthenaB. The following letter, copied for us by
G. D. Scull, Esq., of Oxford, England, from the original, shows that Wood, while
engaged on his work, applied to the Rev. Increase Mather for information aboutthe
Pownings, but with little success :
"Sir I have yours 'of 20"' Instant. There never was any Dr Downing in NeTf
England. It is true y' Sir George Downing (who was knighted by Charles S"*)
had his education in y" Colledge there ; but had no other degree there besides y' of

An equally inexplicable error will be pointed out in this article when we come
to the will of Sir William Pliips, who is represented in English books to be ances
tor of the present Marquis of Normanby. Bjth errors have years ago been pointed
out by our countrymen. The second volume of Hutchinson's MaB.sachusotts, which
was reprinted in England in 1768, gives the true christian name of the father of Sir
George Downing. — Editor.]

1. Dr. John Pott, the legatee mentioned, was doubtless the John Pott, A.M.,
M.D., physician for the colony of Virginia, who arrived with his wife Elizabeth in
October, 1621, in the ship George. He was appointed on the recommendation of
Dr. Theodore Gulston, the founder of the Gulstonian lectureship of Anatomy, still
maintained by the London College of Phy.sicians. In the Virginia Land Records,
Book No. 1, p. 8, he appears as a grantee, on August llth, 1624, of three acres of
land in " James Cittie," and is mentioned as a " Doctor of Physicke " and a mem
ber of the " Councill." Francis West, the governor of the colony and a younger
brother of Lord Delaware, departing for England March 5th, 1628, Dr. Pott suc
ceeded him as governor, and so served until some time in March, 1630, when he
was superseded by Sir John Harvey. Pott was then arraigned for pardoning Ed
ward Wallis, condemned for murder and cattle stealing. This was the first trial by
jury in the colony. Pott was found guilty and confined to his plantation at Har-
rope, now Williamsburg, until the King's pleasure could be ascertained. Gover
nor Harvey forwarded the recommendation of the Council for his pardon, and Mrs.
Pott crossed the ocean and pleaded her husband's cause. The commissioners to
whom the petition was referred reported to the King that " condemning him for
felony was very rigorous, if not erroneous," and recommended that he should be
restored to liberty and his estate, and the practice of his profession.
2. I find in the State Land Registry a grant of 300 acres to John Wayne (render
ed in the Index, Waine) in Charles River County (as the County of York was first
called), May 10th, 1638. Book No. 1, p. 56!).
3. It may be recalled that Benjamin Symmes is reported in 1648 as having
founded in the colony a free school, which he endowed with two hundred acres of
land, a good house, forty milch cows and other appurtenances.
i. There is a grantalso of record to John Southerne, " Gent." (in all probability
him of the will), of twenty-four acres in "James Cittie," September 1st, 1627.
Book No. 1, p. 55.
5. Michaell Batt appears as a grantee of one acre of land in " James Cittie Is
land," September 20th, 1643, Book No. 1, p. 890. Grants also appear contempo
raneously to John, William and Henry Batt, Batte or Batts, as the name is various
ly rendered. The descendants of William and Henry Batte (as the name now ob
tains), brothers, are quite numerous in Virginia, and of high respectability.
6. The Rev. Francis Boulton, Boltone or Bolton, as the name is variously render
ed, who had been recommended by the Earl of Southampton for some vacant parish
in Virginia, arrived in the colony in the ship George, as above, and was assigned to
Elizabeth City, to reside with Captain Thomas Newce.— R. A. Brock, of Richmond,

[Tho testator could not have been the grandfather of Sir William Pepperrell,

father. VVilliam Pepperrell, the father of the baronet, was born about 1046,
having died Feb. 13, 17,33-4, in his 87th year. Usher Parsons, M.D., in the biog

land ; and also five hundred pounds to the public use of that country of New
England if " my " loving friend Edward Hopkins think fit. He makes
bequests to his friend Robert Leeves and to his servant Moses Fryer. To
Dame Elinor Selby of Barwick he leaves ten pounds and desires her to
undertake the education of Dorothy. His father-in-law Sir Arthur Hessle-
rigg to accept the mean remembrance of forty shillings to buy a ring. Ha

[The fam ily of Forster, of Newham, from which Col . George Fenwick and his sis

out of the house of Forster of Etherston. In this latter fiimily the baptismal name
of Reignold often occurs, suggesting the possible origin of Reginald Forster of Ip
swich. They bore Argent, adievron vert between three bugle-horns stringed sable.

Col. Fenwiok's first wife and the mother of his children, was Alice, relict of Sir
John Botteler, knight, and daughter of Sir Edward Apsley of Thaokham in county
Sussex, knight. One of her sisters, Elizabeth, was the wife of Sir Albert Morton,
Secretary of State to King James. His second wife, Catherine, was eldest daugh
ter of the famous Sir Arthur Hazelrigg of Noseley Hall, in Leicestershire. The
monument erected to the memory of Col. Fenwick in the church at Berwick, yphioh
he is said to have been principally instrumental in building, shows that he died 15
March, 1656. It will be noticed that his sister Elizabeth, wife of Capt. John Cul

until after 1615, when the visitation was made. The " sister Ledgard " was Mary,

The residue to son Nathaniel Hathorne, who is to be sole executor. The
witnesses were John Yonges and Henrie Otwaie (by mark). Berkley, 34.
[The foregoing will of William Hathorne of Binfield confirms the guess made in
1879, as to the English home of the American fiimily of Hathorne, and the inter
marriage of Lieut. Richard Davenport, of New England, with that family. (See
Gleanings from English Records, &c., by Emmerton and Waters, Essex Institute,
Salem, Mass., where sundry abstracts of English Avills may be found, and paternal
and maternal pedigrees of the distinguished author Nathaniel Hawthorne.) Bin-
field, Bray and Oakley Green are all in the North Eastern part of Berkshire, a little
West and South West of Windsor. From a History and Antiquities of the Hun
dred of Bray, by Charles Kerry, London, 1861, I learn that there was a manor of
Cruchfields and Hawthorne, that a William Hawthorne was one of the tenants
of " Queen Lease " in the parish of Bray and Manor of Bray, 1650 ; in the " Ren-
tall ofthe Manor of Bray, 1650," William Hawthorne is charged one pound per an
num for all lands holden of the manor, Thomas Hawthorne is charged three shil
lings, the heirs of Robert Hawthorne five shillings, and VVilliam Hawthorne, Jr.,
five pence. In " The Assert Rent of Bray, 1658," under the title "Oakley," I
find "Robert Ilauthorne for house and lands," six shillings four pence, "Tho
mas Hauthorne ditto," three shillings three pence halfpenny, and " Henery Ilau
thorne for lands," seven shillings. William Hawthorne was one of the church
wardens in Bray, A.D. 1600. By Indenture dated 10 January, 6 James (1609),
Sir John Norris confirmed unto William Goddard, William Hathorne, Thomas
Westcott and five others, and their heirs, all those piddles or parcels of.ground
severally lying in certain hamlets and tithings of the parish of Bray in the county
of Berks, whereupon small cottages and other edifices were erected and built, con
taining in the whole, by estimation, five acres," &c., intrust for the "relief of
such poor, impotent and aged persons as from time to time thereafter should be
dwelling within the said parish, and to the intent that the poorest and most aged
and impotent persons of the said parish should be provided for ever of houses and
habitation." By an Indenture dated 14 January, 1621, it appears that William
Hawthorn and Thomas Westcott, who were the surviving trustees, associated with
themselves eight other substantial inhabitants of the parish as feoffees in trust, &a.
By Indenture of feoffment bearing date 1 September, 16,57, it appears that Thomas
Wilcox was the surviving tru.stee. On page 110 ofthe History may bo found' " The
Legend of Hawthorn," which narrates the finding of two pots of gold on Haw
thorn Hill, near Cruchfield (but a little way from Binfield), and on page 111 sun
dry notices of the name of Hawthorne, gathered from court rolls, registers and other
authentic sources ; from which it appears that John f lothorn died 1520, leaving Hen
ry llothorn his .son and heir. Henry died 1531, leaving Roger his son and heir. In
1535 a field of Thomas Ilothorne adjoined one held by John Bj-sshop in " Cryche-
feld." In 1533 Thomas Ilothorne was appointed collector for tho lands he (Bys-
shop) held called " Ohaunters " by the yearly rent of twenty shillings nine pence.
William Hothorn died 1538, leaving William his son and heir. William Haw
thorne was a copyhold tenant 1601 and church warden 1000-02. Thomas Hawthorn
jun. purchased " Brownings" in Holyport, 1602. John Hawthorne held a coppice
at Binfield called " Picking's Points," 1605. One of this family married Anne,
daughter of Gilbert Loggins, circa 1605. And Robert Hawthorne's name occurs
1656 to 1664.— H. r. w.]

[This testator was, of course, brother to the foregoing William Hathorne and un
cle to the American immigrant.
It is with a peculiar satisfaction, it must be confessed, that the compiler of these
Gleanings, himself a native of Salem, has at last been able to prove beyond a doubt
whereabouts in " Our Old Home," that elder England beyond the .seas, we must
look for the ancestry of the most widely known among the distinguished sons of
old Salem, the most original of the prose writers of our' New England, and the one
whose writings are most native to her soil ; a satisfaction tinged with the regret,
however, that the discovery was not made in the great writer's life-time. We can
easily imagine with what delight he would have made a pilgrimage into Berk
shire, how gladly he would have loitered about Binfield and Bray, Cruchfield and
Oakley Green, raaking new sketches to illustrate his English Note Book, and how
eagerly his quaint and vivid fancy would have seized even upon the scanty materi
als offered to it in the Legend of Hawthorn Hill and its pots of gold, to weave
therelrom a story that should rival in weirdness any of his " Legends of New
England." 'The eldest son and namesake of William Hathorne of- Binfield, and first Ameri
can ancestor of the distinguished writer, was, next to Governor Endicott, by far
the most important personage in the civil history of Salem during the first genera
tion. By sheer force of natural talent and commanding character, this son of a
plain English yeoman easily came to the front rank among the many wise and ac
tive New England men who were then engaged in the tremendous and to them
solemn task of founding a state, opening up the wilderness, treating with " the
barbarious Heathen," justly and peaceably if possible, but with fire and sword if
need be, allotting lands to the new comers in proportion to their means and ability
and to the numbers oftheir families, establishing ofiices of record, settling disputes,
levying taxes, making provision for meeting-house and school-house, regarding
justice and morality, a careful religious training and the free education of all, as
the only sure basis of good order and sound government, the only firm and stable
foundation whereon to erect the superstructure of a mighty new state. In all this
work Major William Hathorne bore a prominent part, whether as an enterprising
and prosperous merchant, a trusted citizen and deputy, an honored speaker of the
House, a wise and influential magistrate in the highest court, or an active and .suc
cessful commander in the wars ; and his career illustrates most happily the wonder
ful capacity ofthe Anglo-Saxon race, that imperial race of modern times, its adapt
ability and readiness to cope with new conditions of life, to adjust itself to strange
and heretofore untried surroundings, its plain and homely common sense, its union
of native practical sagacity and sound judgment with a love of law and order, and
at the same time a spirit of adventure, which has made Great Britain not only the
most prosperous of nations, but the greatest colonizing people in the world, the
mother of Nations, and which is so conspicuously manifested in tho marvellous ca
reer of her daughters, the " Greater Britain " in America and Australia and else
where throughout the world wherever a love of enterprise or any other cause has
led its people to settle and plant new homes. — n. f. w.]

[A flattering sketch of the mathematical and inventive ability of Sir William
Pliips — our governor during the time of the witchcraft delusion ; with a copy of
the epitaph from his monument in St. Mary Woolnoth's Chureh in London, are
given in " The Peerage of Ireland," by John Lodge, vol. vii. p. 84, of the edition of
1789, edited by Mervyn Archdall, as a prelude to tho history of the ancestry of
Lord Mulgrave; which is followed by tho statement that Sir VVilliam Phips was
father of Sir Constantine Phipps, Lord Chancellor of Ireland from 1710 to 1714,
who was grandfather of the first Baron Mulgrave.
Sir William (whose will is given above) was son of James Phips, a, gunsmith,
who came from Bristol, England, and settled near the Kennebec River. Cotton
Mather states that James had twenty-one sous and five daughters. Sir William
mentions in his will but one brother and three sisters, and having no child adopts
his wife's nephew, afterward known as Spencer Phips, who lived and died in New
England. Sir Egerton Brydges copied the .statement from Archdall and incorporat
ed it in his celebrated edition of Collins's Peerage (1812), but having noticed later
the Life of Sir William Phips by Cotton JIather, corrects the stateraent in an ap
pendix, so far ns Sir Constantine was concerned, by suggesting that Spencer Phips,
the adopted son of Sir Williara, was the true ancestor of Lurd Muluravc. Debrett,
in his annual Peerage, carried the original story for years, but finally left it out en
tirely, liurke substituted "cousin" for " father," still keeping Sir William
Pliips for the "figure-head" of the faraily by saying he was cousin of Sir Con
stantino. Savage (1861) Vol. iii. p. 422, calls attention to the "preposterous
fable," and quotes " Smilcs's Self-Help, p. 169," as a present example of its con
tinuance. 'The Heraldic Journal (1865), Vol. i. pp. l,')4-5, contains a full and in
teresting account of this " popular error." The latest promulgation of the old
story which has come to my eight is in an elegant volume purchased by the Boston
Athenteura during 1881, " Picturesque Views of Seats of Noblemen, &o.," by Rev.
F. 0. Morris, no date, but evidently a very recent publication. Vol. ii. pp. 1 1 to 13,
with a view of Mulgrave Castle, the seat of the Marquis of Normanby.
This magnificent place was inherited by Constantine Phipps (a grandson of Sir
Constantino previously mentioned) from his maternal grandmother, whose paternity
was a question of historic doubt.

Catherine Scdley, created Countess of Dorchester for life, was the acknowledged
mistress of James II. ; the keeper of his privy purse, Col. James Graham, also Ead
intimate relations with her. It happened that her daughter — Lady Catherine Darn-
ly— bore an exact resemblance to his daughter, the Countess of Berkshire. Col.
Graham was Lot inclined to deny the paternity, while the mother asserted that her
daughter " need not be so proud, as she was not tho King's child, but Col. Gra
ham's." (Jesse's Lives ofthe Stuarts, Vol. iii. p. 508.)
Lady Catherine Darnley was married first to the Earl of Anglesey, from whom
she was divorced; she then married the Duke of Buckingham. From him she
received Jlulgrave Castle, and she gave it to Constantino Phipps, the son of her
daughter by her first husband.
This Constantine Phipps was created Baron Mulgrave of ihe -peerage of Ireland in
1768, but the titles have accumulated upon his descending line until the present
head ofthe family is " Marquis of Normanby, Earl of Mulgrave, Viscount Norman
by and Baron Mulgrave of Mulgrave, co. York, in the Peerage of the United King
dom; Baron Mulgrave of New Ross, co. Wexford, in the Peerage of Ireland."
The armorial bearings are quarterings of those of James 11. ! and of Sir William
Phips !

question of relationship to Sir William (if any existed) will be fully settled soon.

[Major Robert Thompson ot London purchased of the Rev. Henry Whitefield of
Guilford, Ct., who returned to England in 1651, his property in that town includ
ing the famous " stone house " built in 1639 — one of the oldest buildings in New
England now standing. The property remained in Thompson's family " to the
great detriment of the town till October 22, 1772, when Andrew Oliver, Esq., of
Boston, ns attorney for Thompson's heirs, sold it all to Mr. Wyllys EUiott for £3000
of the current money of Massachusetts." (Smith's Guilford, p. 92.) Savage
(Gen. Diet. iii. 288) conjectures that Thompson married a sister of Gov. Hopkins.
We see by the Hopkins wills that the governor had a sister ilargaret who married
a Thompson ; but the names of her children, Henry and Katherine, are not found
as the children of Robert Thompson in the probate of his will. It is possible, how
ever, that they and their mother died alter 1657 and before 1691. Several letters
from Major Robert Thompson are printed in Hutchinson's Collection of Papers.
Winthrop, in his History of New England, under 1639 (vol. i. p. 307 of 1st ed., p.

care and diligence of Maurice Thompson and his brother Major, in supplying them
with information of the motions of the English fleet ; they said these men served
much better than Scott for his thousand guilders ayear. Finds that Maurice Thomp
son was always violent against kingly governraent, was intimate with the Protec

death, so that he is incapable of bearing any oflBce. He was a poor man in Vir
ginia, but got a great estate, chiefly from the king's party. He, Hugh Peters and
Nich. Corsellis, a Dutchman, went over in the beginning of the war to collect
money in Holland for the distressed Protestants in Ireland, and was always in great
favour with the Dutch. As to Major, can hear of no one of that name but a rich Mr.
Major, who raarried his daughter to the Protector's son Richard, but he is no bro

but the office of bishops ; he is bold, full of malice, and embittered against govern

he knows all the ways of the navy, and is thus able to commit this treason. Thinks

Rachel Perne (ante, pp. 60-61).
[1 may add from my own family papers, that " John Tyse, clerk," son-in-law of

'The former, I think, died unmarried ; but Mary married, first, John (or Nicholas)
Goddard, of Gillingham, and, secondly, in 1681, AVilliam Weston, of Weston in
Stalbridge, both in Dorsetshire. She died about the year 1725, having had an only
son, John Goddard of Gillingham, who died in 1702, leaving, by his wife Martha
Cox, who predeceased him, Mary Goddard, sole heiress. She became in 1717 the
wife of WUliam Helyar of Coker, co. Somerset, eldest son of William Helyar of
Coker, M.P. for Somersetshire in 1714, and from this marriage is descended the
present Horace Augustus Helyar of Coker Court, Secretary of the British Embassy
at the Hague. — Letter of the Rev. Charles J. Robinson, M.A., of West Hackney,

[The above will throws light upon the family of the Reverend Ebenezer Pember
ton, minister of the old South Church in Boston, 700-1717, the testator evidently
being his uncle John, who was of Boston 1632, and afterwards of Newbury. Sav
age suggests that he may have been living in Winnesemit in 1662 ; but that sug-
gestionis disproved, not only by this discovery but also by a document among the
Slassachusetts Archives (B. 15, No. 43), wherein John Pamerton of Winnesimmet
distinctly calls himself (14 April, 1662) son of James, of Maiden. n. f. w.
The name of" Hercules Woodman, of Malford [probably Christian-Malford, Wiltr
shire], mercer," appears in the list of pas.sengers who embarked " aboute the v' of
Aprill 1635" in the James of London, WUliam Cooper, master. (See Register,
xiv. 333.) He settled at Newbury. His true name was Archelaus, at least tha( is
the name he went by in this country.
Another person by this surname, namely, Edward Woodman, settled at Newbu
ry, Mass., about the same time as Archelaus. He was deputy from Newbury and
held other important offices. A genealogy of the Woodman family by a descendant,
Cyrus Waterman, A.M., was published in 1874. The author supposes that Edward
Woodman came from Corsham in Wiltshire, about eleven miles from Christian-Mal
ford. No connection has been traced between Edward and Archelaus Woodman.

for a body is enough." This doubtless refers to the arms of the Hoare family. If
80, is it not the earliest sign of their use in New England ?
In Massachusetts Archives at the State-House in Boston (Book 8, No. 22), in the
case of Samuel Sewall, surviving trustee to Mrs. Bridget Usher, vs. Winthrop, may
be found a certificate from the Rev. Joshua Richardson, Rector of the parish church
of Allhallows on the Wall, London, 1692, showing that Mr. Thomas Cotton of Pen
iston in tho County of York, and Mrs. Bridgett Hoar ofthe Parish of St. Buttolph,
Bishopsgate in the city of London, were married 21 June, 1689. And, in the same

[Articles .on the Whittingham family, by Mrs. Caroline H. Dall, now of George
town, D. C, will be found in the Register, xxvii. 135-9; xxxiv. 34-7. Compare
the above abstracts with the extracts from the parish registers of Sutterton, near
Boston, Lincolnshire, in Reg. xxxiv. 35-6.
An aooount of the ancestry of the New England Whittingharas is given in the
obituary of Mrs. Mary (Whittinghnm) SaltonstiiU, widow of Gov. Gurdon Salton
stall of Connecticut, in the Acta England Weekly Journal, Boston. January 26,
1730. There are important errors in it. The obituary is copied into the Register,
xi. 20-7.
It woujd seem from the will of Pilchard Whittingham, that he married a daugh
ter of tho Bev, Edward Bulkley, D.D., of Odell (Reg. xxiii. 303), whose son, the
Piev. Peter Bulkley, named in the will, was the first minister of Concord, iMass.
Perhaps the Mr. Mellowes also mentioned, was related to Abraham .Mellows of
Charlestown, Mass. There was a subsequent connectiim between the Bulkley and
Mellows families, Hannah Smith, a niece of the Rev. Peter Buikley. having mar
ried Edward, son of Abraham Mellows (Wyman's Charlestown, ii. 685). — Editor.
With one exception the Whittingham family material published before 1880,
stands unrivalled for blunders. In tho Register (xxxiv. pp. 34-37) Mrs. Dall
began the Work of correction by printing extracts from the Registers of the parish
of Sutterton in Lincolnshire, which had been furnished to her by the curate. Rev.
V¥. VV. Morrison. The two wills which Mr. Waters has sent may be most valua
ble aids towards the discovery of the ancestry of the John Whittingham who mar
ried Jlartha Ilubbard. The names correspond exactly with thoee given from the
parish records. So flir wo stand on secure ground. The evidence is wanting
¦wh'\c\\ proves John of New England to bo son of Baruch, who was born in Sutterton
A.D. 1583, aiid is said to have died there in 1610; possibly Mrs. Dall has this
evidence, at any rate she refers to a list of deaths of the Whittinghams of Sutter
ton, which it is hoped she will contribute to the next number of the Register. I
have the strongest doubts of the quotation " From Mad. de Salis, copied from Alie's
Norfolk" — (vol. 34, p. 3(>). A He 1 am afraid it is — as I never heard of the hook,
and know of no reason to suppose that the record of a marringe on this side of the
ocean should have been recorded and printed in a County History of England.
The grossest f'r.Tuds have been discovered in pretended copies from abroad, espe-
ciallv when the American correspondent informed the searcher what he wanted.
Mrs. Dall mentions " William^ Whittingham with wile Joanna, who was buried
at Sutterton Feb. 3, 1540." Williara,^ in his will of 1591, mentions " my house
called ray mother's house," and 1 should judge that it was so called because Wil
liam' had married an heiress or resident of Sutterton, he having been tbe first of
the name in that locidity. The parish leoords contain baptisms between 1540 and
1570 of the children of Bo.ger^ nnd William'* only. Supposing them to be brothers
and sons of William' I have made this pedi!;ree, marked with * if mentioned in the
will of William,'-' and with f if mentioned io the will of Richard.''

than six pounds thirteen shillings and four pence. The noble was one half of a mark, or
six shillings and eight pence. — h. p. w.

PREFACE

By John T. Hassam.

The first part of Volume I. of Mr. "Waters's "Genealogical
Gleanings in England" contained the various instalments of Genea
logical Notes contributed by him to the New England Historical
and Genealogical Eegister from July, 1883, to April, 1885,
inclusive. The second part contains those published in the Regis
ter from July, 1885, to April, 1887, inclusive. To some of these
articles I added certain explanatory remarks by ¦way of introduction,
and these remarks it has been thought advisable to reprint here in
this preface, in order not to break the continuity of Mr. Waters's
notes .
The article on "John Harvard and his Ancestry," Part I., in the
Eegister for July, 1885 (xxxix. 265) (pp. 117-134 this book),
¦was preceded by the following introductory note :
The Committee on English Research of the New England Historic
Genealogical Society, under whose direction Mr. Waters is now pursuing
his investigations in England, have on more than one occasion asserted
that the method of search adopted by him — so different from that of his
predecessors — would without fail enable him to bring to light what had
escaped the notice of all other antiquaries. Striking proofs of the correct
ness of this statement have been already afforded by the remarkable dis
coveries Mr. Waters has hitherto made, and the following paper, in which
the parentage and ancestry of John Harvard are for the flrst time con
clusively shown, will add still another.
In 1842, the late James Savage, President ofthe Massachusetts Histori
cal Society and author of the " Genealogical Dictionary of New England,"
went to England for the express purpose of ascertaining what could be
learned of the early history of John Harvard; but although Mr. Everett,
then our minister to the court of St. James, rendered every assistance in his
power, no trace of Harvard could be found, except his signature on taking
his degrees at the University of Cambridge. Mr. Savage tells us that he
would gladly have given five hundred dollars to get five lines about him
in any capacity, public or private. Since that date others have made efforts
equally unavailing.

IV PREFACE.
The late Col. Joseph L. Chester, in a letter written the year before his
death to the Editor of the Register (Register, xxxvi. 319), says that he
had carried about with him daily for many years a bit of pedigree of
Harvard in the hope of being able to perfect it ; that he thought he had
found the will of the father of John Plarvard, but could not yet prove it;
that he disliked to put forward a mere theory, but hoped to come upon
further evidence some day.
At a meeting of the New England Historic Genealogical Society held
in Boston, June 3, 1885, a paper by Miss Frances B. James of Cambridge,
Mass., was read, on " John Harvard's English Home, a Caveat in Behalf
of Devonshire." It contained the results of some researches made by her
in the summer of 1883, in Plymtree, co. Devon, England, where there
formerly lived a family of Harward or Harvard, but no claim was made by
her that any relationship could be shown to exist between this family and
that of John Harvard.
Mr. William Rendle, in an article in the "Genealogist" for April, 1884,
on " Harvard University, U.S., and the Harvards of Southwark," gives a
list of certain Harvards of the Parish of St. Saviour's noted by him, but he
failed to find the baptism of John Harvard, and was unable to connect him
with this family of Harvards. In the South London Press for April 11,
1885, and in the Athenreum for April 18, 1885, Mr. Rendle has something
further to say about the Harvards. He gives the date of baptism of a John
Harvye, whom he says he believes to be the founder of Harvard College,
but is unable to prove the fact, and offers no evidence to support it. These
articles, however, contain nothing new. Everything of importance in them
had been previously made known to us by Mr. Waters. The record of
this very baptism had been already found by him, and a copy of it sent to
the Committee. Mr. Rendle's knowledge of it seems to have been obtained
from a person to whom Mr. Waters had mentioned it as a discovery of his
own, and its appropriation by Mr. Rendle without acknowledgment and its
publication in this manner was certainly a most extraordinary proceeding.
It had long been known that there was a family of Harvards in St.
Saviour's Parish, Southwark ; that John, son of Richard, was baptized there
11 Dec, 1606; another John, son of Robert, baptized 29 Nov., 1607;
another John, son of John, baptized 2 Feb., 1611 ; and still another John,
son of John, baptized 10 April, 1614: but whether the benefactor of the
College was one of these, or whether he was of Southwark at all, has not
been known, until now at last the proof is presented to us by Mr. Waters.
Col. Chester, as we have seen, years ago surmised that he was the son of
Robert Harvard, but, like a true genealogist, waited for evidence before
making a positive statement. Probably nearly every one in America who
was interested in Harvard and had given the subject much thought, sus
pected, at least, if not believed, that he was the son of Robert Harvard of
Southwark. So that Mr. Rendle offers nothing new and merely adds his
belief to theirs, for which he fails to offer evidence. That Southwark was
a field for persecution and therefore its people must have been ready to
emigrate to New England, carries no weight, for there was persecution in
other parts of England; and it would be difficult for Mr. Rendle or any
other investigator to show that more people came to New England for
religion's sake from the county of Surrey than from the counties of Somer
set, Dorset or Wilts, in all of which Harvards were to be found. Could he
say that John Harvard was not from either of these counties, or from St.
Katherine's near the Tower in co. Middlesex where a family of Harvards

PREFACE. V
lived, or that he was not the son of Robert Harvey, alias Harverde of
Rugby in Warwickshire ?
Mr. Waters, however, is the first to show conclusively that John Har
vard, from whom the College takes its name, was one of the sons of Robert
Harvard of the parish of St. Saviour's, Southwark, London, and Katherine
(Rogers) Harvard his wife, and that he was baptized in that Parish Nov.
29, 1607. Ample proof of this is afforded by the documentary evidence
now for the first time published, to which the attention of the reader is
directed. The parentage of John Harvard is no longer a mystery. Mr.
Waters gives us here, among others, the wills of his father aud mother, his
brother Thomas Harvard, his uncle Thomas Harvard, his aunt by marriage
Margaret Harvard, his step-fathers John EUetson and Richard Yearwood,
and his father-in-law John Sadler.
Buf although so much has been accomplished that a few months ago
would have been thought impossible, much remains to be done. There are
other fields of research as yet unexplored, which will richly repay all the
expenditure of time and labor which a thorough investigation of them will
require. The expense of the search thus far has been met by voluntary contribu
tions of the Alumni, particularly the Harvard Club of New "York.
The article in the Eegister for October, 1885 (xxxix. 325)
(pp. 134-145 this book), was introduced by the following note :
The following is the tenth in the remarkable series of papers contributed
to the Register by Jlr. Waters, and modestly styled by him " Genea
logical Gleanings in England." The article on " John Harvard and his
Ancestry," published in the Register for July last, although it appears
under a separate title, was the ninth in that series.
There is no need to enlarge upon the importance of Mr. Waters's dis
coveries in relation to John Harvard; but it will not be out of place to
make the announcement here that Harvard College, in grateful recognition
of his patient labors in these investigations, conferred upon him on Com
mencement Day, June 24, 1885, the honorary degree of Master of Arts.
The words of President Eliot on that occasion were :
Henricum Fitz-Gilbert Waters investigatorem antiquitatis curiosum, de Uniyer-
sitate ob genus Johannis Harvard felioiter exquisitum bene meritum, artium
magistrum causa honoris.
At the Commencement Dinner President Eliot said :
The class of 1855, this day thirty years out of college, the class which boasts
Agaesiz the naturalist, Francis C. Barlow the general, Theodore Lyman the inde
pendent, and Phillips Brooks the great preacher and large minded man, has won a,
new distinction this year. One of its members, Henry Fitz-Gilbert Waters, gene
alogist and antiquarian, has discovered, by most patient and ingenious research,
the family of John Harvard. We have only known about our first benefactor that
he was a master of arts of Emmanuel College, and a nonconforming minister, that
he had a well chosen library of three hundred volumes and some property, and that
he was admitted a freeman in this colony in November, 1637, and died at Charles
town within a year, leaving his library and half of his estate to the infant college
at Cambridge, which was thereafter called by his name. Nothing has been known
about his family or the .sources of his property, until now, when Mr. Waters has
brought to light the wills of his father, two step-fathers, mother, brother, uncle,
aunt and father-in-law, besides other documents of importance in connection with
these wills.

vi preface.
Johu Harvard, whose faith and piety planted this institution, was baptized in the
parish of St. Saviour's, Southwark, London, November 29, 1607, being the sou of
Robert Harvard, a well-to-do batcher, and Katherine Rogers. The mother s maiden
name was discovered through the will of William Ward, a goldsmith, who, in 1624,
bequeathed a rino' of gold to the value of 203. to his brother Robert Harvard. Rose
Ro<>-ers, the wife of William Ward, was the sister of Katherine Rogers, John Har
vard's mother, so that William Ward could speak of Robert Harvard as his brother.
The father, youngest brother and older brother of our benefactor died in 1625,
perhaps of the plague which raged that year in London, and the father disposed by
will of a property considerable for those days, the widow and her two surviving
eons receiving most of it. Katherine Harvard married John EUetson, a cooper, in
Jauuary, 1626 ; but he died iu the following June, leaving another considerable
property to his widow Katherine. In December, 1627, John Harvard was entered
at Emmanuel College, Cambridge, at the age of twenty, presumably by the advice
of the Rev. Mr. Morton or the Rev. Mr. Archer, ministers of the parish of St.
Saviour's, both of whom are remembered in tlie will of John Harvard's mother and
in that of his brother Thomas. Five years later this mother appears as the widow
and principal heir of Richard Yearwood, a grocer, who was mentioned in the will
of her first husband, Robert Harvard, as " my good neighbor aud friend Richard
Yearwood.'' In July, 1635, Katherine (Harvard) (EUetson) Yearwood made her
will and died, leaving her property, which had been derived from her three hus
bands, the butcher, the cooper and the grocer, chiefly to her two sons, John and
Thomas Harvard, with a preference, however, for the elder son, " John Harvard,
Clarke." In this year John took his master's degree at Cambridge. In February,
1637, he appears married to Ann Sadler, seven years younger than hiraself, and the
daughter of a clergyman settled at Ringraer in Sussex. In July, 1636, John's
younger brother Thomas, a cloth worker, being " sick and weak in body," made
his will, in which he disposed of a fair property, a good portion of which he gave
to his well beloved brother John. The executors named in this will were his
brother John and Nicholas Morton, preacher ; but when the will was proved on the
Sth of May. 1637, only Mr. Morton appeared, John Harvard having sailed with his
young wife for New England. In 1638, the young minister at Charlestown, dying
at thirty years of age, became the first private benefactor of this college, started in
the New World a stream of beneficence which has never ceased to flow in ever
widening channels, and won for himself, and now at last for his family, an enduring
remembrance. In the twelve years from 1625 to 1637 John Harvard had lost his father, two step
fathers, his mother and his two brothers, and almost the whole family property had
fallen to him. He appears to have been the only scholar in the family, although
his brother Thomas seems to have signed his name to his will. His father and
mother both made their marks. The whole family connection were trades-people ;
but his mother, by her marriages, came into possession of property enough to give
a college education to her oldest son. The education of that one delicate youth has
had far-reaching consequences indeed. No prince or potentate, civil or ecclesiasti
cal, founded this college; it sprang from the loins of the common people. It was
founded hy the General Court of the Colony of Massachusetts Bay, and first endowed
by an educated son of pious London trades-people. When I had read these Harvard
wills, 1 asked myself how closely the college is hound — after two hundred and fifty
years— to the sort of people who established it. I went to the admission books in
which the occupations of parents of the students are recorded, and found to my
great satisfaction that more than a quarter part of its students are to-day sone of
trade.^men, shopkeepers, mechanics, .salesmen, foremen, laborers and farmers. I
found sons of butchers, coopers, grocers and cloth-workers — the Harvard trades — on
the roll of its students to-da}'. May no exclusive policy or spirit ever separate the
university which bears John Harvard's name from that laborious, frugal, self-
respecting part of the community to which he and his belonged.
Since the article on John Harvard in the Register for July was printld,
Mr. Dean, the Editor, bas received from Mr. E. S. Shuckburgh, the
librarian of Emmanuel College, a fac-simile, which is reproduced here, of
Harvard's signature in 1635, when he took the degree of A.M. It is from
the original University register in the custody of the Rev. H. Luard, D.D.,

registrar of the University. " There is," Mr. Shuckburgh writes, " no doubt
whatever about its genuineness. All
persons admitted to a degree had to
ov>. ^^-— :::::n^ sign these books, which have been
>MO'^:^kXi'K3~' preserved siuce 1544 — unhappily not
earlier."
It is to be hoped that funds sufficient to prosecute still further these
interesting investigations may be speedily obtained.
To the article in the Eegister for January, 1886 (xl. 34) (pp.
145-158 this book), was prefixed the following note which was also
printed in part in the London Athena3um for January 2d, 1886 :
Mr. William Rendle has published in the Athen^um of April 18, July
11 and Oct. 24, 1885, some communications as to the Genealogy of Johu
Harvard, and in certain quarters allusions have been made to a "contro
versy" on the subject. i?here is, properly speaking, no controversy at all.
There is and can be no question whatever in the minds of those conversant
with the facts in the case as to who discovered the parentage and ancestry
of John Harvard. The credit of this remarkable discovery belongs un
deniably to Mr. Henry F. Waters, and to him alone.
The facts in the case are briefly these. Mr. Rendle seems to be a local
antiquary who has, I believe, lived many years iu Southwark, and who has
spent much time among the records there, and has undoubtedly there done
good work. But unfortunately for Mr. Rendle, there is not in this case so
far a single scrap of evidence to show that there is anything whatever in
the Southwark records to establish the slightest possible connection be
tween the Harvards of that Borough and John Harvard of Emmanuel
College and of New England. There were Harvards in Southwark, it is
true, and perhaps in other parts of Surrey, just as there were Harvards in
Devonshire, Somerset, Dorset, Wilts, Middlesex, Warwickshire, and
doubtless in other parts of England. The problem was to identify, among
them all, the father of John Harvard. So far as Mr. Rendle was con
cerned, this problem might have remained unsolved to the end of time, for
there was nothing in the Southwark records which would have enabled
him to solve it.
The proof of this relationship Mr. Waters discovered after much research
in the records of the Prerogative Court of Canterbury. There he found,
among others, the wills of John Harvard's father, mother, brother, uncle,
aunt, two step-fathers and father-in-law. This proved the whole family
connection. If IMr. Waters had stopped there and gone not a step farther,
it would have been enough to completely dispel the mystery which had so
long enveloped the birth and early life of the benefactor of the noble Uni
versity. After thus finally solving the problem, he went to Southwark
merely for supplemental evidence, not at all necessary however to sub
stantiate his case, and there in the parish registers he found the record of
the baptism of John Harvard and other collateral matter.
Information of this visit of Mr. Waters to Southwark and its successful
result was communicated to several persons. That Mr. Rendle was
apprised of it by one of them can be shown by evidence both direct and
circumstantial. In articles published by Mr. Rendle in the Genealogist for April and

VI U PREFACE.

July, 1884 (N. S. i. 107 and 182), he gives the names of the Harvards found
hy him in the records of St. Saviour's, Southwark. But there nowhere
appears in his list the name of our John Harvard. He even quotes the
late Chaplain Samuel Benson as s.iying that ''he cannot find the name of
John Harvard, the founder, but that he had no doubt he was born of this
family of Harvard of St. Saviour's." Mr. Rendle then adds : " After
careful, I will not say exhaustive examination, of the original books and
papers, I am quite ofthe same opinion." On page 182 he quotes the entry
in the books of Emmanuel College, where Harvard is said to be of Middle
sex, and in a foot-note talks of drawing the " attention of officials of
Middlesex churches to the name John Harvard, and the dates circa 1605
and after." Mr. Rendle, although fully apprised of the fact that Harvard,
Harverde and Harvye were merely different forms of the same family
name, had evidently overlooked the entry of Harvard's baptism, or had
failed to recognize it, or to appreciate the importance of the entry, even if
his eye had ever rested upon it, and was as late as July, 1884, turning to
]\Iid(llesex for the record of it, having apparently given up all hope of find
ing it in Southwark. The " extremely diverse spelling " of the name,
being already well known to him, will by no means account for this failure!
On the llthof April, 1885, a date, be it remembered, subsequent to
Mr. Waters's visit to Southwark and his discovery of the record of this
baptism, Mr. Rendle published in the South London Press a letter, which
with some additions he again published in the Athenseum of April 18th.
In this letter he printed conspicuously in Italics the record of this bap
tism, and added, "I believe" him "to be the founder" of Harvard Cohege,
but he neither then nor has he since offered any proof of his own to sub
stantiate his behef or to show any reasonable grounds for it. Sometime
therefore, between July, 1884, and April, 1885, Mr. Rendle saw a great
light. He evidently does not mean to tell us how or when this flashed
upon him. But he unwittingly, in the very letter above referred to, shows
us the source of his information in these significant words : " The clue, or
rather the result of the clue, is before me. I believe that some American
friends, anxious to do honor to their benefactor and his birth-place, are
now among us. It would have been pleasant to me to have known them;
probably now I may." Of course he did not know " them." But when
we consider that at the very time he penned these lines Mr. Rendle knew
that the long search for John Harvard was over, that even the record of
his baptism had been found and that Mr. Waters was the successful dis
coverer, the extremely disingenuous and misleading nature of this allusion
to American friends can be readily seen. What is the " clue " the result
of which Mr. Rendle had before him? Does he mean to say that some
body else had the clue and that he had only the result? The o-eneral
denial made by AV. D. iu the Athenceum of July llth, 1885, is altoo-ether
too vague. It should be more specific if it is expected that much weicrht
should be attached to it. °
There seems indeed to be a confusion or haziness in Mr. Rendle's mind
as to what constitutes not merely legal but even genealogical proof. Mr.
Waters, on the other hand, like a true genealogist, has made a scientific
treatment of the subject, and shows us step by step how he reached the
successful result of his search, and on what his conclusions are based. He
gives us the pedigree of Harvard and the proof by which it can be sub
stantiated. That the search was an independent one, is shown by Mr
Rendle's chief and only witness W. D., who, in the letter above referred

PREFACE. .IX
to, kindly proves Mr. Waters's case for him by admitting that Mr. Rendle's
offer of assistance was " neither acted on nor acknowledged " by Mr.
Waters. In an article iu the New England Historical and Genealogical Register
for July, 1885, I expressed my astonishment at what I called this "extra
ordinary proceeding" on the part of Mr. Rendle. That such a proceeding
is happily considered as extraordinary in England as it is here, and that the
standard of literary morality is at least as high there as here, is shown by
the fact that I have before me, as I write, letters from several English anti
quaries whose names are known on both sides of the Atlantic, and who are
fully cognizant of the facts in the case, who express surprise at what they
call the ''Strange conduct" of Mr. Rendle. As these are private letters,
not intended for publication, I have uo right to quote them in this matter,
but the evidence thus afforded is overwhelming.
Mr. Rendle's pamphlet, a copy of which I have only lately seen, wil], I
understand, be reviewed elsewhere and by abler hands than mine. I will
therefore not take up space to point out certain inaccuracies in it, which
are patent to everyone who has given much thought to the subject. I will
content myself with calling attention to the fact that it furnishes not an
iota of proof of the connection of John Harvard of Southwark with John
Harvard of New England, except what is taken from Mr. Waters's pam
phlet on the subject. This indebtedness Mr. Rendle is, however, careful
to acknowledge, and he has conspicuously marked with a W. the source of
information thus obtained. It is instructive to notice how plentifully
sprinkled Mr. Rendle's pages are with this initial letter.
I freely admit — now that Mr. Waters has conclusively shown that John
Harvard was a Southwark man, and has put this statement in print so that
all may read — that Mr. Rendle's local knowledge as a Southwark antiquary
may enable him to carry on still further the investigations in that Borouo-h,
and I certainly trust that he may supplement and add to the ah-eady
accumulating data concerning the early life of the benefactor of America's
oldest and most famous University. Any such supplemental and corrobo
rative material will command the attention of antiquaries on both sides of
the ocean, and will deserve and receive due recognition on their part.
The article on "John Harvard and his Ancestry Part II.," in the
Register for October, 1886 (xl. 362) (pp. 180-197 this book),
was preceded by the following introduction :
In the article in the Register for July, 1885 (xxxix. 265), entitled
" John Harvard and his Ancestry," which formed the ninth instalment of
his " Genealogical Gleanings in England," Mr. Waters conclusively estab
lished the fact that John Harvard was one of the sons of Robert Harvard
of the parish of St. Saviour's, Southwark, London, and Katherine (Rogers)
Harvard, his wife, and that he was baptized in that parish, Nov. 29, 1607.
In support of this statement he published, among others, the wills of
Harvard's father, mother, brother, uncle, aunt, two step-fathers and father-
in-law. In the present paper he continues still further the investigations so suc
cessfully begun. He here gives us, with other new and important matter
now for the first time published, the probate of the will of Thomas Rogers
of Stratford-on-Avon, Harvard's maternal grandfather, the wills of Rose

X , PREFACE.
Reason, his aunt, and Thomas Rogers, Jr., his uncle, both on his mother's
side, with extracts from the Parish Registers of Stratford, setting forth the
baptisms, marriages and burials of the Rogers family. Harvard's grand
father, Thomas Rogers, was, at the time of his death, an alderman of
Stratford, und the house which he built there in 1596 is still standing.
From it John Harvard's father and mother were married in 1605. It is
one of the oldest aud certainly the best remaining example of ancient
domestic architecture in Stratford. The illustration in this number is a
heliotype copy, slightly reduced, of an excellent photograph just taken.
When it is remembered that the late Hon. James Savage, LL.D., the
author of the " Genealogical Dictionary of New England," made a voyage
to England for the express jiurpose of ascertaining what could be learned
of the 'early history of John Harvard, and that he would gladly have given,
as he himself tells us, five hundred dollars to get five lines about him. in
any capacity, public or private, but that all his efforts were without avail,
the accumulation of material now brought to light by the perseverance of
Mr. Waters is certainly most sui-prising. From being almost a semi-mythi
cal figure in our early colonial history, John Harvard bids fair to become
one of tbe best known of the first generation of settlers on these _ shores.
The mystery which surrounded him is now dispelled. No better illustra
tion could be given of the importance of the work Mr. Waters is doing
in England, no more striking instance could be found of the extraordinary
success which is attending his labors there.
The Committee earnestly hope that funds sufficient to carry on still
further these valuable investigations may be speedily raised.
The article on the "Family of John Eoijera of Dedham," in the
Register for April, 1887 (xii. 160) (pp. 209-236 this book), was
introduced as follows :
The article in the Register for October, 1886 (xl. 362), on "John
Harvard and bis Ancestry, Part Second," which, although published under
a separate title, formed the fourteenth instalment of Mr. Waters's Gene
alogical Gleanings in England, related especially to the family of John
Harvard's maternal grandfather, Thomas Rogers of Stratford on Avon, co.
Warwick. Mr. Waters's investigations in this direction resulted in the
accumulation of a mass of material in regard not only to this but to other
families of the name of Rogers, but a part of which is as yet ready for
publication. The article in the present number of the Register, the sixteenth in the
series of " Genealogical Gleanings," concerns more particularly the Rogers
family of Essex Co., England, and of Essex Co., Massachusetts. It is by
no means complete, nor is it intended to be a final report of the results of
Mr. Waters's signally successful researches. Mr. Waters has evidently
thought it advisable simply to " rei)ort progress " in this line of search
rather than to wait until he could perfect his work so as to present a finished
pedigree of this family. The latter course would necessitate a long delay,
while the course he has adopted, although open to the objection of being
perhaps a fragmentary and unsatisfactory mode of dealing with the subject,
has the positive merit of enabling him to make at once available for the
use of antiquaries some of the new and important discoveries he has made
in relation to this family.

PREFACE. XI
As is well known to the readers of the Register, the Committee on
English Research have repeatedly asserted that the method of search
adopted by Mr. Waters would without fail enable him to bring to light
what had escaped the notice of all previous investigators, and they have
from time to time called attention to the most striking points in the evi
dence relied upon to support this assertion. The Harvard discoveries
undoubtedly made the most impression on the minds of the general public,
but Mr. Waters's whole work, in every part, is proof enough to the mind
of the trained antiquary that here at last is a new departure in genealogical
investigation which cannot fail to produce results not otherwise to be
attained. And this present paper on'the Essex Rogers is by no means in
ferior to the Harvard papers as evidence of the truth of the statements
above referred to.
It has long been a tradition in New England that the Rev. Nathaniel
Rogers of Ipswich, Mass., son of the Rev. John Rogers of Dedham, co.
Essex, England, was a descendant of John Rogers the Martyr. This
tradition was disproved by the late Col. Joseph L. Chester, himself a
descendant of the Ipswich minister. Indeed, it was through the researches
that he then made into the history of this branch of the Rogers family
that Col. Chester was first led to turn his attention to the genealogical
pursuits in which he subsequently became preeminent. His Life of John
Rogers the Martyr, published in London in 1861, was his earliest anti
quarian work, and was the means of first bringing him to the notice
of genealogists in this country and England. Although the result of these
investigations was personally unsatisfactory to him, as he himself tells us,
and his disappointment was great in finding that the Martyr could not have
been the ancestor of the Ipswich minister, he never lost his interest in the
subject, and continued almost to the day of his death to accumulate material
in relation to the Rogers family in all its branches.
Through the kindness of Augustus D.. Rogers, Esq., of Salem, Mass., I
am permitted to make the following extracts from three letters written to
him by Col. Chester.
In the first, dated January 13th, 1877, after referring to his Life of John
Eogers the Martyr, he says :
" I may say generally that I have since discovered nothing to vary the conclusions
I then arrived at, but much to confirm them. We shall never, I fear, carry the
Rogers pedigree back beyond Richard Rogers of Wethersfield. I have sought
earnestly in vain to ascertain who his father was, but I quite accept Candler's
statement that he was of the North of England. ... I have often been at Dedham,
where the bust of John Rogers is still in the chancel of the church. I have spared
EO pains to ascertain hie parentage, but iu vain. My Rogers collections alone
would make a small library."
In the second, bearing date February 17th, 1877, he says:
" for eighteen years I have been collecting everything I could lay my hands on,
from every possible source, concerning the Rogers families, all over England. All
this material I have kept carefully worked up in pedigree form, and, with all my per
sonal interest in the descent, I have never been able to get back a step beyond
Richard Rogers of Wethersfield, nor even ascertain who was the father of John
Rogers of Dedham. If any further progress is ever made it will be by accident.
But my impression is that the earlier ancestors of the family were of a rank in life
so humble that they never got into the public records. If I could think of anything
more to do, you may be sure that I would do it  ^ My Rogers collections are
enormous, and I know of nothing that has escaped me."

Xll PREFACE.
The third is dated March 9th, 1878, and he there says:
" You must recollect that I take as deep an interest in the Rogers pedigree as you
or anybody else can, as there is no doubt about my descent from Rev. John Rogers
of Dedham, and if I had been able to add anything to what I have heretofore
published, 1 should have done bo. 1 have been pursuing these inquiries here for
now nearly twenty years, and you may be sure I have left no stone unturned."
It will be seen that these letters were written but a few years before the
death of the writer.
It is with no wish to detract from the fame of Col. Chester — for that is
now secure, and he is admitted by all to have been preeminent among the
genealogists of our day, without a superior indeed either in this country or
in England — that attention is called to the fact that in the history of the
very family in which Col. Chester had the greatest interest, for it was his
mother's mother's family, to which he had devoted so much exhaustive
labor with the tireless energy and perseverance for which he was so re
markable, discoveries have now been made by Mr. Waters which, but a
short time ago, would have been pronounced impossible.
Mr. Waters now shows us that the Rev. John Rogers of Dedham was
the son of John Rogers, a Chelmsford shoemaker, and that this shoemaker
and the Rev. Richard Rogers were probably brothers, the sons of another
John Rogers, when John Rogers the Martyr was living elsewhere. Nor
has this discovery been made by accident, as Col. Chester prophesied, but
by a laborious, systematic and exhaustive search on a plan never before
attempted. It is another proof that the baffled investigator hereafter need
never despair of his case, that genealogical problems apparently impossible
of solution are by no means to be abandoned as hopeless. It is a reminder
also of the necessity of establishing a permanent fund, by means of which
we can carry on these investigations on a grander scale than ever before,
and with proportionately greater results.

between London and Wareham, probably in the vicinity of Winchester."

will the same shall be distributed and divided by my executors in man

Washington's birth-daj;, 1884), furnished the first important evidence in regard to
him. It will be noticed in that will, made 15 July, 1636, that he appoints his brother,
John Harvard, and the Rev. Nicholas Morton, parson of St. Saviour's, joint execu
tors ; that this will waspresented for probate 5 May, 1637, by Mr. Morton alone, and
power granted only to him, a similar power being reserved for John Harvard, the

130 GENEALOGICAL GLEANINGS IN ENGLAND.
other executor, when he should come to seek it. This seemed to show plainly enough
the absence of John Harvard, the brother of Thomas, on that fifth of May, 1637.
Well, that was the year of the first appearance of our John Harvard on the soil of
New England, as shown by the records of Charlestown ; so that probably on that
very day in May he was on his way across the Atlantic. The inference then was a rea
sonable one that the John Harvard named in the will of Thomas Harvard of South
wark and the wise benefactor after whom our ancient University was named were
one and the same person. But it needed just the mention of him in his mother's
will as " clarke," taken in connection with this fact of his absence at the proving
of his brother's will, to put the matter beyond question. Here too it seems as if en
vious chance had sought to hide him, for in the Calendar of 1637 the name of the tes
tator, which in the record is plainly enough " Harvard," was entered " Haward,"
a name which might be passed over by any one hunting for the name of Harvard.
It was only by gleaning that I came upon it.
Again — the Register Books of St. Saviour's, Southwark, the parish in which our
benefactor first saw the light, seem to have lent themselves to increase the mystery
that has enveloped the English surroundings of John Harvard, as will appear from
the following list of baptisms :*
1601 May 31 Marye Harverde d. of Robert, a Butcher.
1602 July 15 Robert Harverde s. of Robert, a Butcher.
1606 September 30 Robert Harvye s. of Robert, a Butcher.
1607 NovEMBEK 29 John Harvye s. of Robt. a Butcher.
1609 December 3 Thomas Harvye s. of Robt. a Butcher.
1610 November 1 WiUiam Harverd s. of Robert, a Butcher.
1612 September 27 Katherin Harverd d. of Robert, a Butcher.
1613 December 12 Ann Harverd d. of Robt. a Butcher.
1615 April 2 Peter Harvye d. of Robt. a Butcher.
Why, if his name was Harvard, should we accept the baptism of John Harvye as
the baptism of our John Harvard ? Here again the mother comes to our assistance.
It can readily be seen that Katherine Yearwood must have been the widow of Rob
ert Harvard and mother of the John, Thomas and Peter named in his will. It may
not appear so evident that John EUetson, whose will I have given in its order of
time, had married the widow Harvard before she became the wife of Richard Year-
wood. The will of John EUetson makes no mention of any of the Harvard family ;
yet no one can read attentively that will and the will of Mrs. Katherine Yearwood
in connection with each other, without being forced to the conclusion that Kathe
rine Yearwood must have been the widow of John EUetson and the executrix of his
will, and, as such, the successor of his trust in regard to the children of Hugh
Ilorsall, or Harsall, deceased. So convinced was I of this that almost the first ob
ject of my quest in the register of St. Saviour's, was the record of the marriage of
John EUetson with the widow Harvard. And I soon found it entered thus :
1625 Januarie 19 John Ellison & Katherine Harvie.
Here we find mother and son both appearing under another and the same name,
viz., Harvie or Harvye. I found too in the will of Thomas Cox, citizen and vint
ner of London, made 12 September and proved 21 September, 1613 (79 Capell) be
quests made to sundry members of this family (John Harvard's uncles ?) as follows':
" 1 give Ws, Ilerverd als Harvey wife of M' Thomas Harverd als Harvey of S' Kath
erines Butcher six payre of best sheets, " &c.— " I doe give and bequeath unto Rich
ard flarverd als Harvey of S' Saviour's parish aforesaid butcher, my now tenant,
the sum of ten pounds," «fec. A Robert Harvy als Harverde the elder of Eooke-
by (Eugby) was mentioned by Thomas Atkins of Dunchuroh, Warwickshire, in
his wiU, 41st Elizabeth. (48, Kidd.)
The burial of the father of John Harvard is thus entered :
1625 August 24 M" Robert Harvey, a man, in the church.
The youngest son, Peter, mentioned in his father's wiU (of 28 July, 1625) but
not in the widow's, was buried four days before the father, also in the church,
where also Richard Yearwood (a vestryman) was buried 18 October, 1632, and Kath
erine Yearwood 9 July, 1635. John Harvard's elder brother Robert was buried
the very day before his father made his wiU. Evidently the family were suffering
« The first two cliildren in tlie list, viz. Mary (bapt. 1601) and Robert (bapt. 1602), were
probably the children of Mr. Harvard by his first wife, Barbara Descyn, whom he married
2o June, 1600.

GENEALOGICAL GLEANINGS IN ENGLAND. 131
from the visitation of the plague in the summer of 1625. I saw other burials entered,
but did not have time to note them. All, however, I think, were buried in the church.
As I passed through this venerable edifice, once the place of worship of our modest
benefactor, I noticed that the great window in the South Transept was of plain
glass, as if Providence had designed that some day the sons of Harvard should place
there a worthy memorial of one who is so well entitled to their veneration. — Henst

132 GENEALOGICAL GLEANINGS IN ENGLAND.
[The foregoing abstract was found in the course of my gleanings nearly a year ago,
and preserved on account of its mention of Robert Harvard and Richard Yearwood.
It now turns out to be very important as evidence that Robert Harvard's wife Kath
erine, the mother of our John Harvard, was a Rogers; for in my reading of the
registers of St. Saviour's I came upon the following marriage :
1621 Oct 17 WiUiam Warde and Rose Rogers.
This I made note of at the time, not remembering this long preserved abstract of
William Ward's will, but solely b«scause 1 recalled that Katherine Yarwood had
mentioned a sister Rose Reason, and as I fully believed the testatrix would turn out
to he a Eogers, the name Eose Eogers struck me as worth noting. Eose Ward
and Rose Reason were probably one and the same person.
Another most important evidence of John Harvard's identity remains to be shown.
Knowing that he must have been the owner of landed property, and believing that
before leaving for America (in the spring of 1637) he would be selling some of this
property, I surmised that some record of such sale would appear in some of the docu
ments preserved in the Public Record OfBce, although I had been informed that the
Record Office had been searched for trace of John Harvard, and that it was hardly
worth the while forme to make a search there. However, I laid the matter before my
young friend Francis Grigson, Esq. (a son of the late Rev. William Grigson, our
former corresponding member) , and sought his advice. He said that my surmise
was quite reasonable, and that the best field of investigation would be the Feet of
Fines. No one could be kinder than he in showing me how to look for the evidence
I wanted. After almost a whole day's labor, in which I found many suggestive
items bearing on American names, I, at last, found an entry which led me to send
forthe Feet of Fines of the Hillary Term, 12th Charles I., County Surrey. The
following is a copy of the first (and important) part of this document :
Hee est finalis Concordia fca) in cur> Dni Regis apud Westm) in Octavis Purifica-

eius defore) de uno mesuagio et tribus Cotagijs cum p'tin) in Parochia Sci) Olavi in
Southwarke. The next day, after a long search, I was able to examine the Concord of Fines,
relating to the same transaction, where I hoped to find the signatures ofthe parties
to this agreement, as was the custom. This case, to my great regret, proved an
exception to the rule, and I was unable therefore to get a tracing of John Harvard's
autograph. However, I was enabled to fix the precise date of the transfer, vizt. 16
February, 12th Charles I. The consideration given by John and Johan Man was
one hundred and twenty pounds sterling.
Here we find John Harvard appearing in February, 1636-7, as a grantor of real
estate in St. Olave (where his brother Thomas was living) and with wife Ann ; surely
most important evidence that he was the John Harvard who six months afterwards
was in New England with a wife Ann ; and the above date of transfer and the date
of probate of his brother Thomas Harvard's will undoubtedly furnish the limits of
the period of time within which John Harvard left old England to take up his
abode in our New England. He must have set sail some time between 16 February
and 5 Jilay, 1637. The four tenements thus conveyed were, without doubt, the
same as those described in the following extract ;
John Man ofthe parish of St. Olave in Southwarke in the County of Surrey, sea
captain, 6 August 1660, proved 25 November 1661.
" I giue and bequeath all those my foure houses or Tenements with thappurte-

George Pigot, of Marblehead, wrote to the secretary of the London Society fbr
Propagating the Gospel, August 1, 1730 : " I think it proper at this juncture to
notify the Hon'ble Society of one affair which might otherwise deserve their blame :
It is that I have made a claim by Mr. Speaker of the House of Commons to be re
stored to my right to the Baronies of Morley and Monteagle, and that I do not know
how soon I may have a call to make out the same. Therefore I request the Hon'
ble Society to give me leave to come home upon a proper invitation." (Bp. Perry's
Massachusetts Historical Papers, p. 262.) Mr. Pigot, in a letter Deo. 27, 1734,
speaks of having a large family (Ibid. p. 304).
May 1, 1718, " Mr. George Piggott " of Newport was admitted to the freedom
of the colony of Ehode Island (E. I. Eeoords, iv. 227). May 5, 1724, " George

A year or two ago I met at the rooms of the New England Historic Genealogical

sufficient property to maintain the dignity of a baron. He wished to obtain docu

abeyance in their line of the Pigot family. — John Coffin Jones Brown.]

" From undoubted documents, now [1831] in the possession of Eev. Martin Parris,
of Marshfield, we learn that this gentleman was son of Thomas Parris, who came
to Long Island, 1683, from London, from whence he removed to Newbury, 1685,
and to Pembroke, Mass., 1697 ; which latter was son of John Parri.s, a dissenting
minister of Ugborough, near Plymouth, England,— whose father was Thomas, a
merchant of London. The last named Thomas had a brother John, a merchant and
planter of great wealth, who deceased in Barbadoes, 1660. His original will is in
the possession of Rev. Martin Parris."
The testator is undoubtedly the wealthy merchant and planter of Barbadoes re
ferred to by the Rev. Mr. Deane, and the Rev. John Parris of Ugborough must be
his nephew John, whom he calls "the eldest son of ray said brother Thomas."
The late Hon. Albion Keith Parris, the .second governor of Maine, was the sixth in
descent from Rev. John. (See Historical Magazine, vol- i. (1857) pp. 130-1.)
Mr. Thomas Parris was Assistant Justice in Barbadoes, April 11, 1631 (Eegis
ter, xxxix. p. 138).
The Eev. Samuel Parris, of Danvers, of witchcraft notoriety, appears to have
been the son of Thomas Parris, of Barbadoes, who died in 1673, and who was pro
bably Thomas, a younger brother of Eev. John Parris, also named by the testator.

dated 26 June 1640, between me the said Edward Parks, of the one part, and

don, merchaut tailors, to be my executors and my brothers D' WUliam Forth

Forth a witness.
The above will was proved 29 January 1650 ; but the executors having
died before fulfilling their trust a commission was issued 29 March 1673
to John Parkes, a son & legatee. He also died before completing his ad
ministration, and commission was issued 3 November, 1681, to Mary Caw-
ley als Parkes, the widow relict of said defunct, &c. Grey, 10.
[A full abstract of this will was printed in a note in Mass. Hist. Soc. Collections,
4th S., vol. vii. p. 385, from a copy obtained for me by Col. Chester. The note was
appended to several letters from Edward Parks to John Winthrop, Jr. These show
that Parks terms Henry Bright of Watertown his uncle. In the genealogy of the
Brights of Sufiblk, Eng. (Boston, 1858), we find on pp. 270-71, an abstract of the
will of Mrs. Ehzabeth Dell, sister of Henry Bright, in which she mentions her
nephew William Parks. She also mentions her brother Henry Bright, William
Forth and  Blowers, her sister Martha Blowers, her cousin  Cawhy, Esq.,
and her nephew Dr. William Forth.
Henry Parks, son of Edward, sold in 1655, his land in Cambridge to Jolm Sted
man, aud very probably came here for the purpose. This particular branch, how
ever, then oea.sed to have any connection with New England. But at Cambridge
one of the early settlers was Dea. Richard Parke, 1638-1655, whose son Thomas
had a son Edward. At Roxbury was William Parke, whose will of 20 July, 1684,
mentions only three daughters and their children, brother Thomas Parks of Ston
ington, deceased, and brother Samuel with his sons Robert and William. Savage
saj's that these three were sons of Eobert of Wethersfield and New London, who
died in 1665. Very probably this Eobert was the man who wrote to John AVinthrop
in 1629 from Easterkale in Lincolnshire (see Mass. Hiet. Soc. Coll., Sth S. vol. i.
p. 194) , proposing to go to New England.
These may have been relatives of Edward Parke, who was clearly allied to Win
throp through the Forths. The family name of Dannett ought also to lead to some
trace of this family.
The Alice Wilcox, sister of Edward Parks, recalls the William Wileockes of our
Cambridge, who died in 1653, leaving a widow Mary (Powell) but no children, and
a sister Christian Boiden in Old England. A John Wilcox was of Dorchester,
1661, and went to Middletown. Tiie names Wilcox, Hastings, Fox and Hill are
in the Leicestershire Visitations, and Wilcox also iu Eutland. — W. H. Whitmore.]

[In these Goore wills Jlr. ^Vaters is evidently probing the connections of the an
cestors of our Merrimac Valley settlers. The villages of Wallop, like those of
Chouldcrton, lie upon the edges of the Counties of "Wilts and Southampton, and
when Dummer, Saltonstall and Eawson, with their English associates, had arranged
for developing a stock-raising town in New England, they arranged also to secure
from CO. Wilts and its vicinity the transfer of a colony of practical men not only
accustomed to tho care of live stock, but to the trades which interlaced in the pro
ducts of a stock-raising community. The matter of first importance was to secure
ministers with whom the community would feel at home. Eev. 'I'homas Parker
and his relatives the Noyes family, natives of Choulderton, were secured, and with
them the Wiltshire men were glad to join.
In the will, proved 28 March, 1C57, the names of many of the Poore family are
mentioned as cousins of tho testator, and so is Nicholas VVallingfovd, who came in
the Confidence from Southampton in 1038, with others — Stephen Kent, John Eolfe,
John Saunders, John and William Usley, and more recruits to join their relatives
who established the town of Newbury. Joseph Poore, of Newbury, married, 6 Au
gust, 1680, Mary Wallingford, daughter of Nicholas, born 20 August, 1663. Antho
ny Sadler was a pas.'engor in the same vessel. In the Visitation of co. Wilts
in 1623 are pedigrees of the Sadler family on p. 63. The son and heir of the family
given there is Robert Sadler, born in 1608, who may have been the person mentioned
as "brother-in-law" in the will given above.
The will proved in 1588 contains an instance, not uncommon at that period, but
a terrible annoyance to genealogists, of two sons bavin g the same baptismal name —
eldest son William, and four youngest sons, among whom is William the younger.
The name of Margaret Read recalls the fact that the Read and Noyes family inter
married in the locality of these testators. — John Cofein Jones Brown.]

[The eldest son ofthe testator of the above will, Mr. Henry Sewall, came over to
New England aud was the ancestor of the distinguished family of that name in
Massachusetts. In Essex County Court Papers (Book xxvi. No. 59) raay be found
a deposition raade 10 April, 1679, by Robert Walker, of Boston, Linen webster,
aged about seventy-two years, in which he testified that about fifty-six years before,
living with his father in the town of Manchester, in Lancashire, within the realm
of England, he did then know one Mr. Henry Sewall who lived at the same town
and in the sarae street with the deponent's father, being his overthwart neighbor,
and that afterwards the said Mr. Henry Sewall removed with his family to New
England, and there dwelt in the town of Newbury, &o. &c. H. F. Waters.
This will furnishes another example of the wisdom of the course pursued by the
associated collection and publication of material of this kind. In the introduction
to the Sewall Papers, now in course of publication by the Mass. Historical So
ciety, after stating the investigations made by Col. Chester, the main results of
whose search was placed in their hands, the editors state that the Sewall family
cannot be traced beyond the two brothers (Henry, whose will is here given, and his
brother William, both of whora had been mayors of Coventry in England). It is
to be supposed that neither the editors nor Col. Chester had the detail which Mr.
Waters furnishes your readers, for in the closing paragraphs ofthe will here given,
the raention of his " loving kinsman Reginald Home, gentleman," who was raade
an overseer ofthe will, and the bequest to his " cousin John Horno," furnish direct
guides to obtain the name of the father of Henry and William Sewall. It ap
pears from the pedigree of the Home family, which is given below frora the
Visitation of Warwickshire, 1619 (see Harleian Soc. Pub., vol. xii. p. 343),* that
William Shewell married Matilda Home,- and that her brother John was the father
of both Reginald and John, who are raentioned in this will of Henry Sewall
respectively as his "kinsman" and" cousin."

[In Suffolk Eegistry of Deeds (Book 8, p. 193) may be found record of convey
ance raade by Judith Winthrop and John Chamberlain, executors of Stephen Win
throp, 20 April, 1671, to Edward Eainborow of London, of all the said Winthrop's
land in Now England, consisting of one half of Prudence Island and fifteen hun
dred acres in Lynn or Salera, &c. This latter property included the well known
Pond Farm (Lyunfield), originally granted to Colonel John Humfrey. — H. r. w.
In addition to the ten letters of Stephen W., printed in Part IV. of the Win
throp Papers (5 Mass. Hist. Coll., viii. pp. 199-218) we have found several others,
but they are of no importance. Before his final return to England he was Eeoorder
of Boston and a Eepresentative ; and, but for the failure of hia health caused hy
sleeping on the darap ground, there is reason to believe Cromwell would have made
hira one of hia generals, as Eoger Williams, writing to John Winthrop, Jr., in
1656, says, "Your brother Stephen succeeds Major-General Harrison." By his
own desire he was buried with his ancestors at Groton in Suffolk, where were also
interred a number of his children, raost of whora died young. Only two daughters
are known with certainty to have survived hira : Margaret, who married 1st, Henry
Ward, and 2d, Edmund Willcy, E. N., and had issue; and Joanna, who mar
ried Richard Hancock, of London, and died s. p. During his railitary service
his wife resided partly at Groton and afterwards at Marylebone Park near Lon
don, a portion of which estate he had purchased. I'his gave rise to an absurd tra
dition, perpetuated in sorae pedigrees of tho last century, that the Winthrops were
" of Marylebone Park before they settled in Suffolk." Besides his house in James
Street, Westminster, he owned, at the time of his death, his father's house in Boston,
on the southerly portion of which estate tho Old South Church now stands ; this
was subsequently sold by his widow, but whether she ever returned to New Eng
land I do not know. My kinsman Robert Winthrop, of Now York, has a portrait
(of which I have a copy) of a young officer of the Stuart period, which has been in
our family fbr generations, and is called ''Colonel Stephen Winthrop, M.P." If
authentic, it must have either been sent by hira as a present to his father before
his death, or subsequently procured by his brother John, or his nephew Fitz-John,
during their residence in England. — E. 0. Winthrop, Jr.]

William* Eainborow (eldest son of Thomas'), bapt. at Whitechapel, 11 June,
1587. In Nov. 1625, we find him a part owner and in command of the Sarapson of
London, 500 tons, built at Limehouse, and now granted the privilege of carrying
great guns. His name occurs frequently in the Cal. Dom. State Papers. Secretary
Lord Edward Conway writes him, 20 March, 1626, relative to taking aboard the
trunks, &c. of Sir Thomas PhiUips, Ambassador for Constantinople. Letters of
Marque were granted 24 Oct. 1627, and finally, when the reconstruction of the navy
was paramount with King Charles, the merchantman Sampson, well fortified with
iron ordnance, was one of the vessels presented, in Dec. 1634, by the City of Lon
don, for his Majesty's service. William Raynisborowe, as one of the inhabitants in
the vicinity ofthe Tower, complained, in the summer of 1627, ofthe nuisance of an
alum-factory erected at the west end of Wapping. Five years later we find hia
knowledge and experience of maritime matters- duly recognized by the Lords of the
Admiralty, who in their order of 21 April, 1632, appoint Capt. Rainsborough one
of the gentlemen to attend a meeting of the Board on the 26th, to give their opin
ion concerning the complements and nurabers of men to be allowed for manning each
of his Majesty's ships.
Jan. 2, 1634-5, the King in Council had expressed his desire that the Merhonour,
the Swiftsure, the City of London and other vessels should be presently put forth to
sea. The order was confirraed March 10, and the first named vessel was ordered to
be fitted out and victualled by April 24 for six months' service, the charge to be
defrayed with moneys paid by the several ports and maritime places. To the Mer
honour, at Chatham, the Lords of the Admiralty appoint Capt. William Rainbo-
rough, March 30, with Capt. WiUiam Cooke as Master. Thia 44 gun vessel (800
tons), sometimes called the May Honora, had been rebuilt and launched, 25 April,
1614, at Woolwich, by Phineas Pett. Other vessels commissioned at the time
were the Constant Reformation, Capt. Thomas Ketelby ; the Swallow, Capt. Henry
Stradling ; the Mary Rose, Capt. George Carteret; the Sampson, Capt. Thomas
Kirke, &c. &e. ; and these were under the command of Sir Williara Monson, Vice
Adm. in the James, and Sir John Pennington, Bear Adra. in the Swiftsure. Since
the death of the Duke of Buckingham in 1628, the ofiice of Lord Admiral had re
mained in commission, but on May 14, 1635, one of the Navy Comraissioners, Eob-

ert Bertie, Lord Willoughby de Eresby and Earl of Lindsey, was appointed Adrai
ral, Custos Maris, General and Governor of His Majesty's Fleet, for the guard of
the Narrow Seas. He was to defend the Kiug and the Kingdom's honor, which had
been lately called in question by a fleet of French and Dutch off Portland, and to
exact " the due homage ot the sea " from passing ships, and so restore to England
her ancient sovereignty of the Narrow Seas ; he was also to clear the neighboring
waters of pirates and Turks ; to convoy merchants and others desiring it ; to guard
pgainst any infringement of the custom on the part of returning vessels, &c. About
the middle of April tho Merhonour repaired to Tilbury Hope to receive tho remain
der of her stores ; and on ^May 16 the Admiral came on boar.f, the ships raeeting
twelve days later in tho Downs. Rainsborough's vessel, though a good mailer,
proved .somewhat leaky, and the Admiral was desirous at first of changing to the
Triumph ; however, the leaks having been found and her foremast repaired, iie con
cluded she would dowell fbr her present employment, and continued cruizing in her
until he brought the fleet into the Downa once more on Oct. 4. Most of the shipa
were now ordered to Chathara and Deptford, though a few continued out under Sir
John Pennington. The Earl despatched hia journal of the expedition to the King,
and hoped he might, with his Majesty's favor, return home. The Hollanders, who
in pursuit of the Dunkirk frigates, had been accustomed to land on the English
coast, committing depredations upon tho inhabitants, had been checked ; one of their
armed bands had been arrested at Whitby, and a vessel of 21 guns had been taken
and sent into Hull ; moreover, Capt. Stradling, in the Swallow of 30 guns, being
off the Lizard alone, had raet the French Admiral Manti with two vessels, who after
receiving an admonitory shot apiece, had each struck their flags and topsails, and
saluted with three pieces of ordnance.
Writs were now sent to the sheriffs of the various counties of England, to levy
money to defray the charge of a fleet for next year of double the strength of that
which had just been employed, and attention was paid to the improvement of the
vessels ia the removal of the cumbersome galleries, as suggested by Capt. Rains
borough. This gentleman, together with one of the commissioners. Sir John Wos-
tenholra aud others, was appointed Dec. 9 to inquire into the institution, state, or
der and governraent of the Chest at Chatham, as established in 1588 by (jueen Eliz
abetll, with Adms. Drake and Hawkins, for the relief of wounded aud decayed
seamen, and to certify their doings to the Co. of Chancery.
Towards the close of Feb. 1035-6, a list ot Naval Captains, twenty-five in num
ber, was handed in for the year, with Algernon, Earl of Northumberland, as Adra.,
Sir John Pennington as V, Adra., and Sir Henry Mervyn as Rear Adm. The Eirl,
in the Triumph, had chose Rainborow as his Captain, with William Cooko ns Mas
ter, and during the next month he desired the Lords of tho Admiralty that his Cap
tain's pay might be made equal to theirs, and that he might have a Lieut., as he
had raore business to do than any other captain of the fleet. April 9, the ships at
Portsmouth were awaiting the arrival of (japt. R. to take thera out to sea, the Ad
miral having promised to send him down for that purpose.
At this time, and for a longseries of years previous, England was and had been suf
fering from a grievous scourge, viz, : the pirates from the north of Africa. So bold and
venturesome had they become during the suramer of 1636, as to land within twelve
miles of Bristol and successfully carry off mon, women and children. Their chief
place of refuge was the port of Cardiff and its vicinity, whence they carried on their
depredations along cither coast of the St. George's Channel. No relief, save aa
occa.sional collection for the redemption of captives, had heretofore been devised,
and numerous were the petitions and statements now being presented to the King
and the Ii. of Lorda. The Court was moved to proclaim a general fast, and a ser
mon was preached in .October by the Rev. Charles Fitz-Geffry, of St. Dominick, in
Plymouth, frora Heb. 13, 3 ; this was printed at Oxford, and entitled, " Corapas-
sion towards Captives, chiefly towards our Brethren & Countrymen who are in such
miserable bondage in Barberie." A cotemporaneous document reads: " It is cer
tainly known that there are five Turks in the Severne, wher they weekly take either
English or Irish ; and that there are a great number of their ships in the Channell,
upon the coast of France and Biscay. Whereby it is come to passe that our raare-
ners will noe longer goe to sea, nor from port to port ; yea, the fishermen dare not
putt to .sea, to take fish for the country. If timely prevention be not used, the New
foundland fleet must of necessity sufl'er by them in an extraordinary raanner." The
greater part of the captives, reported to be sorae 2000 in number, had been taken
within the last two years, and the sea-rovers, most to be dreaded, were the pirates
of New Sallee, who had revolted from the Emperor of Morocco, headed by a rebel

166 GENEALOGICAL GLEANINGS IN ENGLAND.
who was called the Saint. The matter coming to be more seriously discussed, three
plans were suggested — peace, war, or suppression of trade. Finally it was proposed
that Capt. Rainsborough should he employed in an expedition against Sallee, and
he and Mr. Giles Penn (father ofthe future Adm. Williara Penn) were called
upon by the King, Dec. 28, to give their opinion concerning the particulars. In a
letter, some three weeks earlier, Capt. R., then an invalid at Southwold, on the
Suffolk coast, states his great wiUingness to attend the Lorda and further their pro
ject, as soon aa he can set out for London. The plan, which he subaequcntly
submitted, states that to redeem the captives would require over 100,000/., tbe pay
ment of which would but encourage the pirates to continue their present course.
Whereas to besiege them by sea would not only effect the purpose, but give secu
rity ibr the future, or a fleet might be kept on their coast for two or three years,
until their ships were Avorm-eaten. That " the maintenance ofthe auggested fleet
would be very much to the King's honor in all the maritime porta iu Christendom,
&c." He recommends himself to go as Admiral in the Leopard, Capt. George Car
teret as V. Adra. in the Antelope, Capt. Brian Harrison iu the Hercules, Capt.
George Hatch in the Gt. Neptune, Capt. Th. White in the largest pinnace, and
Capt. Edmund Scamon in the lesser. The plan was adopted, and, Feb. 20, 1636-7,
Sec. Coke writes from Whitehall to the Lord Dep. Strafibrd : "This day Capt.
Rainsborough, an experienced & worthy seaman, took his leave of his Majesty, and
goeth instantly to sea with four good ships and two pinnaces to the coast of Bar
bary, with instructions & resolution to take all Turkish frygatea he can meet, & to
block up the port of Sally, & to free the sea from these rovers, which he is confident
to perform."
ilarch 4 the little squadron was in the Downs and on the eve of departure. The
port of Sallee was reached in good season, and the enemy's cruisers, about to start
for England and Ireland, were hemmed in and twenty-eight of their number de
stroyed. A close siege waa now maintained, assisted on the land side by the old
Governor of the town, and the place waa delivered up to the Engliah, July 28th.
The Emperor now agreed to join in a league with King Charles, promising never
again to infest the English coasts, and forthwith delivered up some 300 captives,
with whom Capt. Carteret immediately returned homeward. Rainsborough, how
ever, on Aug. 21, proceeded to Saffee to treat for about 1000 English captives who
had been sold to Tunia and Algiers. Here he remained till Sept. 19, when the
Emperor's Ambassador came aboard, accompanied by Jlr. Robert Blake, a merchant
trading to Morocco, for whom the Emperor had formed a friendship, and who had
obtained the position of Farmer of all his Ports and Customs. On the 21st they
left the coast, and arriving fifteen days later in the Downs, landed, Oct. 8, at Deal
Castle. Detained at Gravesend through sickness, it was not until the 19th that the
Ambassador was conducted to London by the Master of Ceremonies, and, landing
at the Tower, was taken to his lodgings " with much display & trumpeting." In
the procession were the principal citizens and Barbary merchants mounted, all rich
ly apparelled, and every raan having a chain of gold about him, with the Sheriffs
and Aldermen in their scarlet gowns, and a large body of the delivered captives,
some of whom had been over thirty years in servitude, arrayed in white, and though
it waa night, yet the streets " were almost as light as day." Sunday, Nov. 5, tho
Ambassador was received by the King, to whom he brought, as a present from his
imperial master, some hunting hawks and four steeds, " the choicest & best in all
Barbary, & valued at a great rate, for one Horse was prized at 1500 pound." These,
led by four black Moors in red liveries, were caparisoned with rich saddles embroid
ered with gold, and the stirrups of two of them were of massive gold , and the bosses
of their bridles ofthe sarae metal. An account of the proceedings was printed to
wards the close of the raouth, entitled, " The Arrival & Entertainment ofthe Moroc
co Ambassador Alkaid (or Lord) Jaurar Ben Abdella, from the High & Mighty
Prince Mully Mahamed Sheque, Emperor of Morocco, King of Fesse & SuBse, &o,''
Great waa the enthusiasm created hy the successful issue of the expedition, and
even Waller was prompted to eulogize the event in the following rather ponderous
lines : " Salle that scorn'd all pow'r and laws of men.
Goods with their owners hurrying to their den ;
This pest of mankind gives our Hero fame,
And thus th' obliged world dilates his name.

With ships they made the spoiled merchant moan ;
With shipa, their city and theraselves are torn.
One squadron of our winged castles sent
O'erthrew their Fort, and aU their Navy rent:
Safely they might on other nations prey ;
Fools to provoke the Sov'reign of the Sea !

Save that his presence hia affairs.' exact.
Had come in person, to have seen and known
The injur'd world's revenger, and his own.
Hither he sends the chief among his Peers,
Who in his bark proportion'd presents bears.
To therenowu'd for piety and force,
Poor captives raanumis'd and matchless horse."
Even grumbling Master Andrew BurreU, who, in a pamphlet of 1646 condemns
the entire Navy, its ofBoers, &o., though he had hiraself built for them the Marie
Eose, " the most sluggish ship " theyhad afloat, confesseth that Rainsborough's
Fleet "performed better service than England's Navie did in 44 years before."
The King was very willing and forward to have knighted the gallant Admiral, but
he declined the honor, and order was given that he should have a gold chain and
medal of the value of 300/. ; a memorial of loyal service perhaps still extant,
" should not very opposite family feelings have melted it down in the days of the
Eump," observes Disraeli in his Life of Charles I. An augmentation to the fara
ily arms waa undoubtedly conferred at the time in the shape of " a Saracen's head
couped ppr. in the fesse point."
Meanwhile the raising of funds and supplies for the equipment ofthe fleet for the
following year had again become necessary, and Strafford, writing to the Abp. of
Canterbury from Dublin, 27 Nov., says in connection, " this action of Sallee, I
assure you, is .so full of honor, that it will bring great content to the subject, and
should, methinks, help rauch towards the ready, cheerful payment of the shipping
monies." Early in Feb. 1637-8, the list of ships, which were to keep the seaa dur^
ing the following sumraer, waa published, headed by the Sovereign of the Seas.
This vessel, launched at Woolwich the preceding year, had been in progress since
May, 1635, and surpassed in size, tonnage and force anything heretofore constructed
for the English Navy. Thoraas Heywood published an account of it, with a view
of this " his Majesty's royal Ship, the Great Glory of the English Nation, and not to
be paralleled in the whole Christian World," while Marmaduke Eawdon, of York,
mentions in his Life,* a visit, in 1638, to the Eoyal Sovereign, Capt. Rainsberry,
then newly finished and riding at Erith, below Woolwich.
Burrell, in his pamphlet before alluded to, condemns the vessel as "an admira
ble ship for costly Buildings, & cost in keeping ; and, which adds to the miracle,
the Eoyall Ship is never to be used for the Kingdom's good," &c. The Comrais
sioners of the Navy answered in reply : " Capt. Rainsborough, whora Master Bur
rell confesseth, iu his time, was the most eminent Commander in this Kingdom,
had the trial of her in the Channel of England, and at hia return reported to his
Majestic that he never set his foot in a better conditioned Ship in all hia life. And
as for her Forces, she ia not inferior to the greatest Ship in Christendom. "f
On Sunday, March 18th, Algernon, Earlof Northumberland, obtained the position
ofGeneral at Sea, or Lord High Admiral, during his Maje.sty's pleasure, the King
designing to eventually bestow that ofSoe upon his younger son, the Duke of York.
That Capt. Eainshorough was ever in active naval service after his cruise in the
Sovereign does not appear. He and others, owners of the 200 ton ship Confidence
of London, were allowed Feb. 19, by the Lords of the Admiralty, to mount her with
20 pieces of cast-iron ordnance, and, during the fall of the year, together with sorae
155 other aea-faring men, he signed hia consent to a proposition made by the Lord
High Admiral and the Att. General, that an araount be deducted from their wages
for the establishment of the Poor Seamen's Fund, to be administered by the oflioers
ofthe Trinity House. The following year, as appears by a paper among the Duke

of Northumberland'a MSS., he submitted a proposition, in the form of articles, sug
gesting that 10,000 piecea of ordnance, with carriagea, &c., be kept in readiness to
arm IOO collier-ships, which raay fight with a great army; stating their superior
ity for such service. Coramission was given, Oct. 20, 1639, to Sir Edward Little
ton, Solic. General, Sir Paul Pindar and Capt. William Eainshorough, to inquire
into the truth of the statements raade in the petition to the Privy Council, by Ed
ward Deacon, who with his goods had been seized and detained in Sallee fbr debts
there contracted by Mr. Robert Blake, as factor for some London merchants ; peti
tioner having come to England, after leaving hia son in Barbary as a pledge, in pur
suit of said Blake, who, at the time, or immediately subsequent, was one ofthe
gentlemen ofthe Council.
As William Rainsborough, Esq., he, with Squire Bence, merchant, were members
from Aldborough, a seaport of co. Suffolk, in the Fourth Pari, of Charles I., held
at V/cstminster frora 13 April to 5 May, 1640 ; as also in the Parliament which
convened 3 Nov. following ; that most notable of English Parliaments, before which,
a week later, Thoraas, Earl of Strafford, was accused of high treason. May 27,
1641, he with others took the oath of Protestation, for the defence of the religion
established, of the King's person, and the liberty of the subject ; the sarae having
been a;;«ented to by both houses on the 3d and 4th of the same month. Aug. 25th
Capt. R. was at the head of the committee for taking the whole state of the navy
into consideration, and providing ships for transporting the ordnance and ammuni
tion frora Hull and other parta of the north. Five days later the merchants' peti
tion fbr erecting a Company for America and Africa, &c., was referred to Sir John
Colpepcr and Mr. Pymra especially, assisted by twenty-three other raerabers, among
whom was Capt. Rainsborough. The sarae day he was included in a committee to
whom had been referred the Act for raaking Wapping Chapel parochial. He waa
also appointed, Sept. 9, a member of the liccess tJJommittce, during the adjourn
ment of Parliament till Oct. 20th ; and on Nov. 19, was on a committee for naval af
fairs, with some other members, including Sir Henry Vane. Three days later it was
ordered " that citizens that serve for the City of London and Capt. Rainsborough do
inform themselves what .shipping are now in the River that are fit to transport the
Magazine at Hull to the Tower, and to give au account of it to-morrow morning " ;
this was in pursuance of a resolution ofthe 3d.
And so ends his life and public services, for no more is heard of him till Feb. 14,
1641-2, when the Speaker of the House was ordered to' issue a warrant to the Clerk
of the Crown in Chancery for a new writ to be issued forth for the efection of a new
Burgess to serve for the town of Alborough in co. Suffolk, in the ropm and stead of
Capt. Rainsborough deceased, and Ales. Benoe, Esq., was accordingly elected. On
the I7th his body was interred in St. Catherine's (Tower), London. At the time of
his decease the Captain was a widower, his wife Judith, a daughter of Renold and
Joane Iloxton, having been buried at Wapping, 3 .March, 1637-8. The will of Wil
liam Rainsborow of London Esq., dated 16 July, 1638, with codicil of 1 Feb. 1641
proved 8 April, 1642, has been already given.
1. TnoMAS^ Rainsborowe, Esq., of Whitechapel, co. Midd. (William,* Thomas'),
commonly known in history as Col. Rainsborough. A naval captain at first under
the L. li. Adm. Warwick; then a colonel of infantry under the Parliament, and
finally V. Adra. of their Fleet. A member ofthe Long Parliaraent. A more de
tailed account of this prominent and distinguished individual may be given here
after. Suffice it to say that the Rev. Hugh Peters, alluding to the services of this ofiB-
cer at the taking of Worcester, that last stronghold for the King (in July, 1616),
observes, " and truely I wish Colonell Rainborow a suitable employment by Sea or
Land, for both which God hath especially fitted him ; foraine States would be proud
of such a Servant."* Resisting a seizure of his person on the part ofthe royalists,
hewas killed at Doncaster, 29 "Oct. 1648, and buried at Wrapping, 14 Nov. Ad
ministration on his estate waa granted, 24 Nov., to his widow Margaret, raaiden
narae probably Jenney.
1. WiUiam," eldest son ; raentioned in wills of his grandfather 1638, and his
uncle Edward 1677. He was a Captain in the array, it would appear,
during the Protectorate, and judging from the Wintiirop Letters (Mass.
Hist. Soc. Col. 5, viii.) was in Boston, N. E., 1673 ; living 1687.

ed 17 Dee. 1640, of Th. Bright, house and land in Watertown, which had been
the homestall of Lt. Robt. Feake. Budington mentions hia purchase of the old meet
ing-house. He was evidently a trader or sea-captain. March 7, 1643-4, the trea
surer of the Colony was ordered to attend to the discharge of Mr. Rainsborow's
debt, with allowance of £20 forbearance for the tirae past, and the loan of two .saoh-
ars for two great pieces for one voyage. He had been in England in 1642, when
in April his name, and that of his brother Thoraas, are found on the list of the
proposed Adventurers by Sea. against Ireland. This was the expedition against
Gal way, &c., whereof, under Lord Forbes, hia brother Thomas was commander,
and the Rev. Hugh Peters chaplain.
Judging frora the discharge of hia debt and the loan of cannon, Capt. R. again
returned to the old country in 1643-4, and though there are subsequent entries as
to the debt, the moneys are always to be paid to parties abroad on E.'s account. He
immediately espoused the people's cause and joined that division ofthe army which
was in the west under Lord Essex. Finding himself in a critical position, the Lord
General despatched Stapleton, his General of Horse, to Parliament, calling for aid,
and on the night of Aug. 30th, Sir William Balfour, his Lieut. General, passed
safely through the King's Quarters with 2300 horae, and reached London. Two
nights thereafter Essex himself and Lord Roberts fled in a cock-boat to Plymouth,
and the following day, Sept. 2, 1644, the commanding officer, Serj. Major General
Skippon, surrendered with all the infantry and a few horse. According to a return*
found in the quarters of Sir Edward Dodsworth, Com. Gen. of the Horse, we find
that the cavalry had previously mustered at Tiverton, co. Devon, 39 troops, 420 offi-
cera and 2785 men. The first division of 8 troops, 639 men, under Sir Philip Sta
pleton, Major Gen. Philip Skippon and Maj. Hamilton ; the six troops of the second
division (62 officers, 432 men), being comraanded by Sir William Balfour, 14 offi
cers, 100 men ; Major Balfour, 9 officers, 77 raen ; Sir Sarauel Luke (Gov. of New
port Paganel, co. Bucks), 10 officers, 72 men ; Capt. Rainsborow, 9 officers, 57 men ;
Capt. Sample, 10 officers, 61 raen ; Capt. Boswell, 10 officers, 65 men.
Prestwioh'a " Reapublica " describes the cornet of Capt. Rainsborough's troop
as follows : " Azure ; from the sinister base point all over the base, and up to the
middle ofthe dexter side, clouds Argent, shaded with black and crimson ; near the
middle or base, a book in pale closed and clasped and covered Or, on the front or
side thus : ^?^ . hetween this book and the dexter side, and a little above the base,
an armed arm and hand uplifted, as issuant from the clouds, and as in pale, holding
in his hand a Hussar's sword as barrways, and waved on both sides, and the point
burning and inflamed with fire proper, hilted Or; in chief a scroll, its end turned
or doubled in, and then bent out and split, and fashioned double like two hooks, en
dorsed Argent, lined Or, and ends shaded with crimson and Argent, and in Ro
man capital letters Sable, vincit Veritas. Arms. — Chequered Or and Azure, and
in fess a Moor's head in profile, bearded and proper, his head banded with a wreath
Argent." In the list of officers for the New Model of the army, which was sent up from the
House of Commons to the House of Lords, 3 March, 1644-5, and approved on the
18th, Col. Sheffield's squadron of horse consisted of his own troop and those of Ma
jor Sheffield and Captains Eveling, Rainsborow, Martin and Robothara. He sub
sequently obtained the rank of Major, and Whitelook informs ua of letters received,
July 2, 1647, from the Coramissioners in the Army, certifying "that the General
had appointed Lt. Gen. Cromwell, Cols. Ireton, Fleetwood, Rainsborough, Harri
son, Sir Har. Waller, Richard Lambert and Hammond, and Major Rainsborough, or
any five of them, to treat with the Parliament's Commissioners upon the papers sent
from the Army to the Parliament, and their Votea."
From the Journals of the House of Commons, under date of 27 Sept. 1650, we read
that "Mr. Weaver reports frora the committee for suppressing lyccntious and im
pious practices, under pretence of religious liberty, &c., the confession of Lawrence
Olaokson (or (Ilaxton) , touching the raaking and publishing of the impious and
blasphemoua booke called the ' Single Eye,' and also Major Rainsborrow's car
riage " in countenancing the same. Claxton, departing from the established
church, appears to have joined all the prominent sectaries of the day, and from a
tract of his published in 1660, entitled " the Lost Sheep Found," we gather that
much of his trouble and imprisonment resulted from his own licentious behavior,
he maintaining that " to the pure all things are pure." He was sent to the house

of correction for one month and then banished, and his book was burned by the
comraon hangman. Major Rainsborough, residing at the time at Fulham, was one
of his disciples, " and seems to have been an apt scholar in improving his relations
with the iemalc part of the flock."* It was resolved by the House that he be dis
charged and disabled of and from being and executing the office of Justice of Peace
in CO. Middlesex, or any other fiounty within England or Wales.
For almost nine years wo hear nothing of him, but on Tuesday, 19 July, 1659, he
presented a petition to tho House on behalf of the Sherifts, Justices of the Peace
and Gentry ofthe co. of Northampton, and on the same day was made a Commis
sioner for the Militia for the same county. In accordance with a report from said
commissioners, ho was appointed by Parliament, Aug. 9, Colonel of a Regiment of
Horse in co. Northants.f After the Restoration, a warrant was issued, 17 Deo.
1660, to Lieut. Ward for the apprehension of Col. William Eainshorough at his
residence. Mile End Green, Stepney (near London), or eLse where, for treasonable
designs, and to bring hira before Secretary Sir Edward Nichols. He was accord
ingly arrested and confined in the Gatehouse. On his exaraination next day he de
clared he was a Major of horse, but dismissed by Cromwell in 1649 ; that the Eump
Parliament made him a Colonel of Militia-horse, 1659, but nothing waa done; that
he had bought 40 cases of pistols for raflitia, and had since tried to dispose of them.
He gave borid for 500/., Feb. 7, 1661, with Dr. Richard Barker of the Barbican as
security for his good behavior.
His wife's name was xMargery, and, as we have seen before, the will of Capt.
Rowland Ooytraore of ^Vapping, in 1626, mentions a son-in-law WiUiam Rains
borough, mariner, of Wapping ; while the will of Stephen Winthrop, 1658, leaves
a legacy to " cousin Mary Eainsborowe, daughter of my brother-in-law William
Rainsborowe, Esq." F'rom the Winthrop Letters (Mass. Hist. Soc. Coll. 5, viii.)
he appears to have been in Boston, N. E., in 1673, with his nep-hew William.

whom she married 4 Deo. 1647, waa Gov. John Winthrop, to whom she
was fourth wife ; he died 26 March, 1649, aged 61. She married third
ly, 10 March, 1652, John Coggan of Boston, as his third wife ; he died
27 April, 1658, leaving issue. Disappointed of a fourth marriage, we are
given to understand that she committed suicide in 1660.

Concerning the New England estate referred to by Edward Rainsborowe in his
will of 1677, as above, we have evidence on file in the Eegistry of Deeds, Salem, of
which the following ia a summary ; Whercaa Judith Winthrop and John Cham
berlain, two ofthe Executors of Stephen Winthrop deceased, had by certain deeds of
Indenture, Bargain & Sale conveyed to Edward Eainsburrowe of London, merchant,
all those parcclls of lands lying & being in N. England in America, viz : one moiety of
Prudence Island, lying in or near y° bay of Narragansett, in Ehode Island Colony,
and all that Farm at Lynn or Salem, containing by estimation 1500 acres more or
less, now, considering the great hazard of transmitting ye conveyances beyond sea,
the said Executors do acknowledge before a notary public the said deeds of bargain
and sale, 21 April, 1671. 'The document was signed in presence of Nich. Hayward,
Not. Pub., Symon Amory, 'Tim" Proutsen', and his son \V™ Prout. Timothy Prout,
shipwright of Boston, testified to the same before Dep. Gov. John Leverett, 5 Mar.
1672-3, and the instrument was recorded and compared 5 July following. As late
as 21 March, 1695-6, the above waa compared with tho original and found an ex
actly true copy of 5'e record in ye booke of Deeds Lib: 8° Page 195.
Meanwhile John Chamberlain, the sole surviving executor of Stephen Winthrop
deceased, having been shown a copy of the instrument above referred to, as being
on file in some court iu N. England, made oath 31 Blay, 1687, that he had never
signed nor executed any such writing or instrument, nor did he believe that Judith
Winthrop, widow & executrix, had made any such conveyance to the late Edward
Rainaburrow. 'This testimony of Mr. Chamberlain appears to have been given at the
request of his nephew William* Eainsburrowe, son of Vice Adm. 'Thomas" Rains-
burrowc, being, we may infer, at the time the only, or at least the eldest, raale rep
resentative of the family, and acting iu the interest of his cousins the children of
Stephen Winthrop deceased. Robert Wildey, of the parish of St. Paules Peters,
CO. Middlesex, cook, and " Thomasine Jenney, of the same place spinster, aunt of ye
said WiUiam Rainaburrowe," swore to their knowledge of and acquaintance with
John Chamberlayn for thirty years and upwards last paat ; that he and Stephen
Winthrop, Esq., whom they had also known, had married two sisters, " this depo
nent William Rainsburrow's Aunts, and sisters of Edward Rainsburrow in ye above
written affidavit named, &c. &o." Nicholas Hayward, the Notary Public, men
tioned in the first instrument, swore that he had never drawn up auch a paper, and
the whole denial was witnessed by four parties on the point of departure from Lon
don fbr New England, and was also compared with the original about nine years
later, viz : 21 Jlarch, 1695-6. I. J. Greenwood.]

[I presume that this is the " Edraond Spinckes " whose name immediately precedes
that of John Harvard in the Recepta ab ingredientibus of Emmanuel College (Regis

Boniface Burton, whom Mr. Spinckes calls his mother's only brother, died June
13, 1669, " aged 113 years," according to Judge Sewall, who calls hira " Old Fa
ther Boniface Burton " (Reg. vii. 206). Hull in his Diary (Trans. Am. Antiq. Soci
ety, iii. 279) gives hia age as " a hundred and fifteen years." Both ages are pro
bably too high. Burton's will was dated. Feb. 21, 1666-7, and proved June 24, 1669.
An abstractiof the will ia printed in the Register, xx. 241, and on page 242 are some

[The will of which the above is the Probate Act, does not aeem to have been co
pied into the Register, which I exarained leaf by leaf, with hopes t.) find it. My
friend J. C. C. Smith, Esq., then hunted through the bundle of original wills for
that J'ear, but in vain. 'That the testator was the father of Mrs. Harvard, and
grandfather of our John Harvard, there can be no doubt. The extracts from the
Parish Register of Stratford upon Avon, together with the wills of his daughters,
&c., prove that. Among the Feet of Fines of the Easter Term, 23d Elizabeth (1581),
1 find a conveyance made to him by one Henry JNIace, of two messuages and two
gardens with their appurtenances in Stratford upon Avon. He seems to have been
a prominent citizen of that borough, as will appear frora the extracts I shall give
from the records, and, in 1596, while he was holding the office of Bailiff', builtthe
house still standing_ in High Street, now known as " Ye Ancient House," the best
speciraen now left in that street, or perhaps in the borough. On the front, under
tlic broad window ofthe second story, appear theae characters :

In this house, therefore, Katharine Rogers lived from 1596 until her raarriage to
Robert Harvard, and to it she may have corae with her little son John to attend the
obsequies of her father. A heliotype of thia house illustrates this volurae. — H. F. w.]

[The two forras of spelling this surname are interesting for two reasona ; first, as
showing the loaa of the guttural final g sound in Rasing (in connection with which
it may be well to note that the creat of this family was a hand grasping a bunch of
grapes) , and, secondly, as illustrating the sound of the diphthong ea in Reason. I
have seen many similar instances showing that in Shakspeare's time the word was
pronounced like raism. Recall Fallstaffa play on the word in Henry IV. Part I.

[Rev. John Davenport was the fifth son of Henry and Winnifred (Barnabit)
Davenport, of Coventry, co. Warwick, where he was born in 1597. On the 9th of
April in that year he was baptized in the Church of the Holy Trinity, of which the
Rev. Richard Eaton, father of Theophilus Eaton of New Haven, Ct., was rector.
He was admitted to Merton College, Oxford University, in 1613, and after passing
two years in that college he removed to Magdalen Hall, but the same year, Nov.
15, 1615, left the University and ooraraenced preaching. On the 5th of October,
1624, he was almost unanimously elected vicar of St. Stephen's, Colman Street,
London, to which living he was inducted Nov. 4, as the above record shows. On
the death of Archbishop Abbot he left London, Aug. 5, 1633, for a hidden retreat
in the country, and after waiting three months, finding the messengers of Laud, the
new archbishop, were on his track, he crossed over to Holland, landing at Haarlem
in Noveraber. He resigned the vicarage of St. Stephen's, and John Goodwin was
adraitted aa hia successor Dec. 18, 1633. In 1637 he came to New England, arriving
at Boston June 26, 1637, with another minister and Mr. Eaton aud Mr. Hopkins,
merchants, as Winthrop informs us (Hist, of New England, vol. ii. p. 226, 2d ed.
p. 272). It is possible that the other rainister may have been John Harvard, who
probably arrived about this time. It is true that Trumbull (Hist, of Connecticut,
vol. i. p. 89) says that Rev. Samuel Eaton accompanied his brother, but it is hardly
probable that Winthrop, who gives hia brother's name, would omit his. Daven
port was the first minister at New Haven, Ct. , 1638-67, and was pastor of the First
Church of Boaton, Maaa., 1667, to his death 1(570. For further details in the life of

Notes on Abstracts previously printed.
George Ludlowe (ante, p. 174.)
[In a note on Roger Ludlow, in the July number of the Register, it is stated that
he went to Virginia about 1654. This assertion was doubtless made on the author
ity of Dr. Trumbull (Hist, of Conn. i. 218) , and he based it on what he found in
the New Haven records. Ludlow had hired a vessel to transport himself and fami
ly to Virginia, probably intending to take shipping there for England ; for a MS.
Roger Wolcott expressly says that Ludlow returned to England, and a deposition of
John Webster, dated Dec. 18, 1660, in the Conn. Archives, speaks of " the time
that Mr. Ludlow went for old England." If one will examine the printed N. Ha
ven Colonial Records, ii. 69-74, he will find nothing to show that Ludlow went to
Virginia, but rather the contrary ; for Manning, the captain of the vessel Ludlow
had hired, was arrested for illicit trading with the Dutch, and upon trial, being
found guilty, his vessel, in spite of Ludlow's protests was declared by the court to
be a lawful prize, and ordered to be sold " by an inch of candell, he that ofiers
most to have her."— Charles J, Hoadlt, of Hartford, Conn.]

Familt of John Eogers of Dedham.
It is with intense gratification that, at last, I am able to answer
the long vexed question who was the father of John Rogers,
" the famous preacher of Dedham," and to show pretty clearly what
was the name of his grandfather, father of the no less famous Rich
ard Rogers of Wethersfield. For more than a score of years has
this question been discussed in the New England Historical and Gen
ealogical Register and other publications, without eliciting a particle
of positive evidence bearing on this subject. The late Col. Chester,
in his memoir of John Rogers the martyr, produced a mass of neg
ative evidence which seemed to refute the wide-spread belief in a
descent from that heroic sufferer in the cause of the English Refor
mation. But all that we actually knew of the family in which so
many of our New England people are interested, was what we could
gather from the will of Richard, who speaks of his cousin (i. e.
nephew) Rogers of Dedham, the inscription on his tombstone, the
will of John Eogers himself, his epitaph on the north wall of the
chancel in Dedham church, and the Candler pedigrees in the Har
leian MSS., British Museum, and in the Bodleian Library, Oxford.
Add to these Giles Firmin's Journal and the very significant state
ment in Nichols's Literary Anecdotes (1812), vol. ii. p. 556 (see
Memoir of John Rogers the Martyr, by Col. J. L. Chester (Lon
don, 1861), p. 243), in reference to Daniel Rogers, the father of
the Rev. Dr. Jortin's mother, that he was " descended from Mr.
Rogers, Steward to one of the Earls of Warwick, whose residence
was at Lees, near Chelmsford, in Essex, temp. Henry VHI.," and
we have, I believe, the sum total of our knowledge of this family in
England, so far as the genealogical aspect is concerned. In order
that we may get our exact bearings at this point of departure, I ven
ture to reproduce the most important of these facts.
The inscription on the tombstone of Richard Rogers of Wethers
field (see Col. Chester's Life of John Rogers, pp. 239, 240) shows
that he died 21 April, 1618, in the sixty-eighth year of his age, and
was born therefore about A.D. 1551. The following is a very con
cise abstract of his will, which was published in full in the October
number ofthe Eegistee for 1863 (vol. xvii. p. 326).
Eichard Eogers of Wethersfield, Essex, preacher, 16 April 1618, proved
30 April 1618. He mentions John Clarke, a neighbor at the brook, Sam
uell Waight, a son in law,* Walter Wiltsheir and Jeremy Boozy. To wife
Susan all such goods and household stuff as were hers before I married
her. " I give to my son Danyell my best cloak &c. I give to my son Eze
kiell all my Latin and Hebrew and Greek books, but if his brother have

it is evident that his wife was a daughter of Rev. John Ward. — Editob.

Here at last we strike a broad trail, and it becomes evident that
this family were at the end of the sixteenth century settled in
Chelmsford. This town, as we learn from Morant, gives name both to the
Deanery and Hundred, and is a pretty large and populous place,
twenty-nine miles from London. It is seated at the confluence of
two rivers, the Can, which flows from the south-south-west, and the
Chelmer from the north. From the latter it probably derived its
name, which in Domesday-book is written Celmeresfort and Celmeres-
forda, and in other records Chelmeresford, Chelmerford and Chelmes-
ford ; there having been undoubtedly a ford here across the river on
the great road from London to Colchester, Harwich and Suffolk
County. Close adjoining, on the north-east, is the little village of
Springfield, which was the English home of another of our New Eng
land families, the Pynchons. A stone bridge over the Can leads
directly into Moulsham or Mulsham, a manor and hamlet which
before the Conquest was holden by the Abbot and convent of St.
Peters, Westminister, and remained in their possession until the
suppression of monasteries, when, falling to the Crown, it was grant
ed 23 July, 1540, to Thomas Myldmay, Esq., who built a mag
nificent manor house, commonly called Mulsham Hall. This hamlet
is really a part of the town of Chelmsford, and is but a continuation
of its main street. The oldest and most noticeable house on the
right, but a short distance from the Bridge, was, I learned, a free
hold that had belonged from time immemorial to the Rogers family,
and was still owned and occupied by one of that name. I could not
but think that this might be the homestead passed down in the pre
ceding wills from father to son, the birth place of John Rogers of
Dedham,.
The Church Registers of Chelmsford go back to A.D. 1538 (when
parish registers were first ordered to be kept in England) . I spent

218 GENEALOGICAL GLEANINGS IN ENGLAND.
the latter half of a long summer day in the examination of their con
tents, while day light lasted, or until nearly nine, P. M. Too late
I discovered from internal evidence that the volume which had been
handed me was a copy of the original record and made by some rec
tor or curate, who was evidently something of an antiquary, about
two hundred years ago. So I offer my notes of baptism with a
great deal of diflSdence. I found at last the missing volume, but
had no time to examine it thoroughly. The parish clerk had fan
cied it lost.
I found that this family were evidently settled here in Chelmsford
as early as the first year noted in the Register, so that it seems need
less to visit the Lees or Leighs, with the hope of carrying our history
of the family further back by the aid of Church Registers.
There was a John Rogers the elder, carpenter, whose wife Jone
was buried in 1540, and a John Rogers the younger, who had a son
Richard baptized 29 June, 1551. This I have no doubt was Richard
Rogers of Wethersfield (see the inscription on his tomb-stone).
Taking this for granted, the problem was to find the baptism of John,
the father of John of Dedham and brother of this Richard.
The following were all the baptisms I gathered from 1538 to 1558
inclusive : —
John, of John Rogers the younger, 21 Nov. 1538.
Thomas, of John Rogers the younger and Ann, 25 Nov. 1540.
Mary, of John Rogers joiner (?) and Agnes, 11 Feb. 1542.
John, of John Eogers and Jone, 19 Oct. 1545.
John, of John Eogers and Agnes, 10 Sept. 1548.
Richard, of John Rogers the younger, 29 June, 1551.
Mary, of John Rogers the younger, 30 July, 1553.
Thomas, of John Eogers, 29 Oct. 1557.
Ellyn, of John Eogers, 1 Nov. 1558.
Whether John Rogers the younger was the father of all these chil
dren it is impossible, without further evidence, to say. Assuming
that he had two wives, Ann and Agnes, then all but one are account
ed for ; and in that case John the father of John of Dedham and of
Thomas the shoemaker was born in 1548. A John Rogers married
Agnes Carter in 1541. Coming down to the next generation I found
the baptisms of the following children of a John Rogers : —
Thomas, 30 January, 1574.
Mary, 28 April, 1576.
Elizabeth, 21 July, 1577.
Eichard, 15 April, 1579.
Katherine, 29 May, 1581.
Nathaniel, 14 December, 1582.
Ezechias, 23 November, 1585.
Susan, 22 September, 1588.
The baptism of John, who must have been born about 1569 to
1571, I did not get, though I have note of the baptism of a Johan,

GENEALOGICAL GLEANINGS IN ENGLAND. 219
son of John Rogers, 9 August, 1579 (the very same year as the
baptism of Richard, son of John). If this be our man, then his
baptism was postponed nearly ten years after his birth. In New
England I have noticed several instances of the postponement of this
rite until the individual had even reached the age of manhood.
Very likely such cases may be found in English records. At any
rate the names of Thomas, Nathaniel and Susan show that we have
here the family of John, the shoemaker, while it must have been
their sister Mary who was married in 1596 to William Griffyn
(mentioned in will of John, the father, in 1601). This John
Rogers's first wife was probably Mary, buried in 1579 : and the
children born after that year (viz. Katherine, Nathaniel, Ezechias
and Susan) were his children by his second wife Joan, who in her
will, made 1612, left the bulk of her property to two of them,
Nathaniel and Susan. The others both died young, Katherine in
1585 and Ezechias in 1587.
Later on I found the baptisms of the children of Thomas,
Nathaniel and Richard, all of Moulsham. Thomas was called a
shoemaker, and was, without question, the one who was buried in
1625, and by his mention of his brother John as " of Dedham,
clerk," has enabled us to place this family. He seems to have had
two wives, Sarah, buried 1607, by whom a son Thomas baptized
11 December, 1605, and Mary who outlived him, by whom he had
the followjng children : —
John, bapt. 18 October, 1612; perhaps died in Billerica, Mass., 25 Jan.
1685-86, £Et. 74.
Nathaniel, bapt. 13 February, 1615; d. in Moulsham, 1616.
Nathaniel, bapt. 10 November, 1618; d. in Moulsham, 1G22.
Mary, bapt. 20 July, 1621 ; mentioned in her father's will.
Nathaniel Rogers, of Moulsham, brother of the preceding and of
John of Dedham, was called schoolmaster, and, very likely, was
master of the Free School in Moulsham, founded by King Edward
VI. A.D. 1552. He probably died in 1619, having had by his
wife Elizabeth Terret (m. 1607) the following children :
John, bapt. 5 January, 1611 ; probably referred to in his uncle John's will
as " the sadler."
Elizabeth, bapt. 25 April, 1614; d. in Moulsham 1617.
Elizabeth, bapt. 6 April, 1618 ; adopted, I think, by her uncle John who
mentioned her in his will, and mentioned also by the latter's widow, who
speaks of her as " my maid Elizabeth Eogers."
Richard Rogers, of Moulsham, called a "Poulter," married Anne
Cooke 1613, and had the following children : —
Jeane, bapt. 27 February, 1613.
Mary, bapt. 21 January, 1615.
John, bapt. 28 January, 1618.
Besides all these there was a Thomas Rogers (buried, probably,

1598) who was having children from 1575 to 1580 inclusive.
There is no reason to doubt that he belonged to this Chelmsford
family. And there was a William Rogers, who was buried in Chelmsford,
1587, having buried his wife Margaret the year before, who must
have belonged to a family of Rogers seated at Stanford le Hope and
the neighboring parishes of Fobbinge and Curringham, near the
Thames. I have a few abstracts of wills relating to them. One of
these, John Roger of Fobbinge, refers to the above, in 1584, as
cousin William Roger of Chelmsford, and his wife, and in a nuncu
pative codicil, made 21 October, 1584, he willed that John Roger
his (own) son should remain at Chelmsford, where he then was,
until our Lady day next.
There are other references to the name of Rogers on the calendars
of Wills and Admons. in Essex County, not yet examined. When
they are, we may get more light on the relationship of all these parties.
Some of these are as follows : —
John Eogers, 1592. [hury).
Rose Rogers (widow), 1599-1600 (prob. wid. of Robt. R., of Buttis-
Richard Rogers, 1601-2.
William Rogers, of Colchester, 1618.
Mary Rogers (wid.), of Moulsham, 1626-8.

Thomas Rogers, of Moulsham, 1639-41.
Jeremiah Rogers, of Chelmsford (test), 1676-77.
Daniel Rogers, of St. Nicholas, Colchester, 1679-80.
Nehemiah Rogers, Hatfield Brodocke (test.), 1686-7.

In the Visitation of Gloucestershire, published by the Harleian
Society, Vol. XXI. p. 141, raay be found a pedigree of the family
undoubtedly referred to. If of this stock, then, our New England
family may surely claim kinship with the protomartyr, by virtue of
a descent from a common ancestor. I confess that I am somewhat

inclined to think that further research may not only establish this
connection, but also trace the ancestry of John Harvard's mother
back to the same source.
On the other hand, it will be remembered, Candler says that this
family came from the North of England, whiletheJortins believed that
one of their ancestors was a steward of the Earl of Warwick, with
out, however, stating which Earl.
Before giving extracts from any other wills, I ought to call atten
tion to a clause in the will of John Rogers the shoemaker (1601),
which, taken in connection with a similar one in the will of Thomaa
Rogers the shoemaker (1625), furnishes a significant bit of evidence
to prove that these two stood to each other in the relation of father
and son.
John, the father, gave the three tenements bought of John Sames*
to his wife for life, then to daughter Susan and the heirs of her
body; failing such, then to the testator's other children. Now
Susan died young and unmarried, her brother Nathaniel died ;
whether Mary Griffyn was alive or not I cannot say, but in 1625
Thomas Rogers is found disposing by will of "three tenements
lately bought of my brother John Rogers, of Dedham, clerk."
I was fortunate enough to discover the wills of John Hawes, whose
widow Elizabeth became the second wife of John Rogers of Dedham,
of Richard Wiseman, whose widow Dorothy became his third wife,
of Dorothy Rogers herself, who by her conscientious mention of her
step-children and their children, adds much to our knowledge of the
family ; of John Rogers of Colchester, eldest son of the famous
preacher of Dedham, and of John Rayf of Stradishall, Suffolk, who
calls him brother in law.

t Col. Joseph L. Chester furnished me with a copy of this will which I printed in full in
1868 in my " Memoir of Eev. Nathaniel Ward." In the will as recorded the date is iu
words, " The nythe daie of October One Thovvsand Fyue Hundredth eightie nyne Eliza-
bethe Quadragesimo." Soon after receiving the copy I called Col. Chester's attention
to the discrepancy between the regnal and the common year, and suggested that if the year
of our Lord had been in arable numerals inster.d of words, I should have supposed that
the last two figures had been transposed, and that the true date was 1698 instead of 1589.
Col. Chester found the original will, and it was as I supposed in arable numea-als, as was
also the regnal year. " The year," he wrote, " should unquestionably be 1598, for it is
simply impossible that a man writing in the 31st Elizabeth could have written 40th."
Besides, Sarauel is mentioned in a way that conveys the idea that he was of age, whereas
in 1589 he was only twelve years old. See Memoir of JV. Waa-d, p. 132.— Editob.

Essex. Mother Mercie Harsenett. Brothers William Ilarsenett, William
White and John Pope. To daughters Torshell and Stanyon five pounds
each. Harvey, 148 (P. C. C).
The above is evidently the " Harsnet clarke " of the Candler
pedigree. I would suggest that he married the daughter of Richard
Rogers, widow of William Jenkin, and survived her. He was
born, I found, in Colchester, son of Adam Halsnoth (as the name
was often spelled) , a joiner, by his wife Mercy or Marcey, and was
a near kinsman of the well-known bishop, Samuel Harsnett, Avhose
baptism I also found in Colchester under the name of Halsnoth.
The will of Adam Halsnoth the elder, joiner, I found among the
wills of the Archd. of Colchester (1612-13). He mentions wife
Marcey, sons Adam, William, Samuel and Joseph, and daughters
Marcey, Tamazin and Elizabeth.
The connection of the Crane family with the Rogers family is
shown in the following extracts.
Robert Crane of Great Coggeshall in the County of Essex, grocer (with
out date) proved 18 March 1658. Mentions wife; refers to marriage
contract entered into with brother in law M' Nathaniel Bacon ; lands &o

By an Indenture made 24 October 1653 between Joshua Foote, late
citizen and Ironmonger of London, then of Eoxbury in the County Suffolk
in New England, on the one part, and Eobert Crane of Coggeshall in the
County of Essex within the Commonwealth of England, on the other part,

and Education under such a father M' Eichard Eogers, in Catechisme and
knowledge of the holy scriptures the want whereof I see to be the main
cause of the Errors of the times. Secondly that (whereas till I was aboue
twenty yeares of age I made but ill use of my knowledge but liued in a for
mal profession of Eelhgion) the lord pleased by occation of a sore sicknes
which was like to be death to make me to see the worth and Neede of
Christ and to take such houlde of him as that I coolde never let him goe
to this houre whereby I am now encouraged to bequeath and committe my
souUe into his hands who hath Eedeemed it, and my Body to the Earth
since he will giue me with these very eyes to see my Eedeemer. Thirdly
for my Calling even to be a minester of the Gospell the most glorious
Calling in the worlde which the lord brought into noth without difficulty
for my .... ing in the time of the hottest Persicution of that Bloody Hi-
rarchy and being inlightened concerning the euell and snare of Sub3orip...n
and Cerimonies I was advised to give over the thought of the minestry and
to betake my selfe to the study and practise of Phis..ke But the lord mer-
cyfully prevented that ; for though it be a good and Nessecary Calling, I haue
observed that the most through these o..e Coruption haue made it to them
selues the very Temptation to couetousnes or lust or both, I therefore chose
rather to lye hide abo.. a dozen yeares in an honerable famelly exerciseing
my selfe in minesteriall dutyes for a bout a dozen yeares after my leaving
the uneversity. Then the lord Gaue me a Call to a Publique charge att
Eowley in Yorke shire whereby The Gentlenesse of — oby Mathewe I was
fauoured both for subscription and Cerimonies and injoyed my liberty in
the minestry about seaventeene ..ars in Comforthable sort Till for refuseing
to reade that accursed Booke that allowed sports on God's holy Sabbath or
lords day I was suspended and by it and other sad signes of the times driven
with many of my hearers into New ...land where I haue liued in my Pas-
torall Office about  years with much Eest and Comforth beleeueing
the way .. the Churches here to be according to the present light that God
hath giuen the purest in the wholle world.
Now Age and Infir...es calling upon me to looke daly for my change I
profese my selfe to haue liued and to dye an unfeigned Hater of all the
Base Opinnions of the Anabaptists and Antinomians and all other Phren-
ticke dotages of the times that springe from them which God will ere longe
cause to be as doung on the earth. I doe also protest against all tbe evell
ffashions and guises of this age both in Apparr.. and that Generall Disguise-
ment of longe Ruffianlike haire A Custome most generally taken up at that
time when the Graue and modest weareing of haire was a part of the Re-

Then follows his disposal of his estate : to wife Mary the dwelling house
&c. during her natural life ; to nephew M' Samuel Stone of Connecticut
thirty pounds ; to " my cousen his son John ten pounds ;" to dear brother
and fellow officer M' Phillips five pounds and Aquinas his Sum. in folio ; to
my sometimes servant Elizabeth Tenney ells Parratt ten pounds ; to loving

228 GENEALOGICAL GLEANINGS IN ENGLAND.
Holland ten pounds ; to the wife of cousin Rogers of Billerica five pounds ;
sundry gifts to servants ; all his Latin books to Harvard College and some
English books, as appears in the Catalogue.
The rest of the estate in lands not given to wife during her natural life,
he gives to the Church and town of Rowley upon condition that they pay
or cause to be paid &c. unto Ezekiel Rogers the son of M"' Nathaniel
Rogers late pastor of the Church of Ipswich deceased the sum of eight
score pounds.
The real estate given to wife, for term of her life, after her decease to go
to the church and town of Rowley to enable them the better to maintain
two teaching elders in tbe church for ever, on condition that they settle an
elder within four years and so from time to time when changes occur by
death or removal any other way. On failure of this condition the said
houses and lands to be to the use of Harvard College. Wife Mary to be
sole executrix.*
The amount of his estate as rendered in the Inventory was over
1535£, of which 400£ was in lands that were Thomas Barker's (his
wife's former husband) .
This will is on file among the probate papers of Essex County ; but
I do not find any copy of it in the Registry or any record of probate
or administration granted. In the March term of the Ipswich Court,
1665, Ezekiel Rogers, the son of Mr. Nathaniel Rogers of Ipswich,
deceased, brought suit against Mrs. Mary Rogers, the executrix of
the above will, for not performing a promise and engagement made
to the said Nathaniel in the behalf of his son, wherein the said Mr.
Ezekiel Rogers, of Rowley, had obliged himself to provide for
Ezekiel the son of Nathaniel, and to make his portion as good as the
rest of the sons of the said Nathaniel. The plaintiff in his declara
tion says that his father for that reason gave him no portion in his
estate, except a small pledge of his love, and discharged himself
from any care concerning him, and, indeed, looked upon him as the
elder brother, though but his fourth son.
This case is valuable and important, since it furnishes evidence
that the wife of the Rev. William Hubbard was Mary,| and not
Margaret, as all our New England authorities have had it, and thus
confirms Candler's statement, made in his account of the Knapp
family. I fail to find the least bit of evidence, either that Nathaniel
Rogers had a daughter Margaret or that William Hubbard had a
* Rov. Ezekiel Rogers's will is printed in full in the Register, vol. v. pp. 125-8.— Eu.
t Candler in his Knapp pedigree gives the name of the husband of Mary Rogers aa
" Wm. Hobert," and in his Rogers pedigree as " Wm. Heley " {vide Register, xvii. 47).
Mr.Waters makes it evident that the surname in the Knapp pedigree (Hobert, i. e. Hubbard)
is correct.
William Hubart or Hubbard ofthe County of Essex, England, who afterwards settled at
Ipswich, Mass., maiTied Judith, daughter of John and Martha (Blossc) Knapp, of Ipswich,

wife bearing that name. This Mary Hubbard seems to be living as
late as 26 March, 1685, when she joins her husband in a conveyance
of certain land in Ipswich. The following are some of the deposi
tions filed in this case.

The testimony of Mart Hubbert.
I can afiirme that aff my Father Rogers' death my Brother Ezekiell
Rogers was very desirous to have lived w'*" his Cousen M' Ezekiell Rogers
of Rowley & he rendred this as y° reason, w° sundry complaints were made
to his mother against him, that he knew he could please him, if be lived
with him, w""^ he knew he should never doe, unlesse he hved there, in
reg* that sundry informations would be carried to his Cousen ag*' him, w'^''
he should be able no otherwise to prevent. And farth' I know that our
friends did endeavour to insinuate so much into my Couzen, but were dis
couraged therefrom by a report they heard from presseing it over farr,
w"*" report was, that one nere to my Cozen should say, nameing of him by
some opprobrious terme, that he should not come there. Also when my
Brother lived with him before, he wore his haire longer, by my Cosins
sufferance, contrarie to my Fathers desire, then the rest of his Brethren ;
Farther my Bro : rendred this as the reason why he was not willing to live
constantly at the Colledge, because he had not convenient maintenance
allowed, my Cosin not allowing above five pound a year at y" most. To
the truth of w' is above written I can attest upon oath if called thereunto.
March 31. 1665. Mart Hubbert.

The Deposition of M" Margaret Rogers aged about 55 yeares.
This Deponent sayth that soon after her husbands death, goeing to visit
her cousin M' Ez. Eogers of Eowly, he told her that he would doe for
her son Ezekiel according as here followeth viz. That he would give him
his house where he then lived w* severall parcells of land, w"'' he then
mentioned, & shewed y" place of them, altho she had now forgotten the
particulars : She thinks also he promised her then to allow 10£ a year
towards his education, yet (being long since she cannot speak so punctially
thereunto). Further at another time since this Deponent went to the sayd
M' Ez. Eogers to speake w"" him about her son Ezekiels hayre, y' was
complayned of, to be too long: but when M' Ez. Rogers would have had
her son bound to let his hayre be no longer then to y"" lower tip of his
eares, she told him she would never yeild to such a snare for her child, tho
he never had peny of him while he lived. Also this Deponent sayd y*
James Baily told her that M' Ez. Rogers had appoynted him to pay fourty
pound to her upon the account of her son Ezekiel, hut she never knew but
of ten pound thereof paid : Also that she would have been glad if her son
Ezekiel might have lived w"' her Cousin M"^ Ez. Rogers at Rowly, and was
troubled that there was no way appearing to have it so, altho her son
Ezekiel alwayes about those times seemed very desirous so to doe. The
Deponent also saith that Mr Ez. Rogers told her he had appointed James
Baily to pay her fourty pound in four years towards the education of her
son Ezekiel, And further saith not

The testimony of John Pickard, aged forty three years, made 28 March

that there were three reasons why he would not give his kinsman more.
" 1 Because he refused to dwell w"" him. 2 Because he would not keep at

A notable error has been made by all who have written about
Ezekiel Rogers, of Rowley. They have all, one after another,
stated that he bronght over "the wife of his youth," Sarah Everard,
who lived here about ten years, and died in Rowley, etc. That he
brought over the wife of his youth I do not deny ; but that her
name was Sarah Everard I can deny with confidence, for I find her
provided with another husband, in the person of Ezekiel's eldest
brother Daniel, who had by her, as his second wife, four children.
Who then was the first wife of Ezekiel Rogers ? That he had a
wife buried in Rowley about ten years after his coming over is true.
Her name, however, was .Toan, buried 8 May, 1649. This is a
strong confirmation of a pedigree which I had constructed in Eng
land before I had the opportunity to discover this important fact. I
had already been led to give Mr. Ezekiel Rogers a wife Joan by
the following evidence which I had discovered in my researches
among Wills and Feet of Fines : —
Between Richard Raynton, gen. quer. and Ezekiel Rogers, clerk and
Johanna his wife, defore, for one messuage, one garden, nine acres of mea
dow and six acres of pasture, with the appurtenances &c in Bermondsey.
Consideration 100" sterling. Trin. 11 Car. I. Surrey.

freeman of Massachusetts May 22, 1639 ; removed to Rowley, which he represented in the
General Court in 1641, 3, 5 and 50 ; returned to England as early as 1657. He was father
of Rev. Joseph Boyse, of Dublin, Ireland, a famous Puritan author. (See Register,

The will of the Rev. Nathaniel Rogers, Pastor ofthe Church at
Ipswich, taken from his own mouth, July 3, Anno Domini 1655,
was proved in court at Ipswich, 25—7—1655. He reckons his estate
in Old and New England at about twelve hundred pounds, four
hundred pounds of which '' is expected from my fixther M"". Robert
Crane in England." He makes the portion of John, though his
eldest son, equal only with the others, viz. Nathaniel, Samuel and
Timothy, and gives to each one hundred pounds out of his estate in
Old England and one hundred pounds out of his estate in New Eng
land. To his son Ezekiel he gives twenty pounds, which he may
take in books if ho pleases. To his daughter he had already given
two hundred pounds. To his three grandchildren, John, Nathaniel
and Margaret Hubbard, he gives forty shillings each. To his cousin,
John Rogers, five pounds, in the hands of Ensign Hewlett. To
Elizabeth, Nhthaniel, John and Mary, children of his cousin John
Harris, ¦)• of Rowley, he gives twenty shillings each. To Harvard
College, five pounds. The remainder he leaves to his wife Margaret,
whom he appoints executrix.
The original will is on file in the Probate Registry of Essex
County, and a copy of it is preserved among the papers of the case
of Rogers vs Rogers already referred to.
Mrs. Margaret Rogers died in Ipswich, 23 January, 1675, and

New England, widow, was also granted in England, 21 March,
1677, to William Hubbard, principal creditor.
From her age, as given in her deposition, it would appear that
she was born about 1610. Her moiher, therefore, could not have
been the Mary Sparhawke, daughter of Samuel, baptized 1 February,
1600. (See New Eng. Hist. Gen. Reg., Vol. XIX. p. 125.)
There remains John Rogers, of Billerica, who undoubtedly be
longed to this family, as we may learn from the will of Ezekiel of
Rowley. The recent history of Billerica, by our associate, Rev. Mr.
Hazen, furnishes a good account of him and his descendants. His
will can be found on record in the Suffolk Registry (X. — 23). It
was "declared " 22 January, 1685, and letters were granted 8 June,
1687, to Thomas and Nathaniel, the executors. He gives to
Nathaniel one half the house, etc., and to Thomas the other half
after the death of the widow, who is to have the use of it. Other
bequests to sons John and Daniel, daughter Priscilla, grandchild
Mary French (at 21), son George Browne and wife's daughter
INIary Browne. He is said to have died 25 January, 1685(6), £et.
74, and was born therefore about 1611 or 1612. On the Tabular
Pedigree which accompanies these notes will be found two Johns,
cither of whom might be this individual, so far as date of birth
would indicate. I cannot help thinking that John, the son of
Nathaniel, the schoolmaster, was the one referred to in will of his
uncle John, of Dedham, as "the sadler," brother to Elizabeth
Rogers. This sister, I doubt not, was adopted by her uncle, and
was the one mentioned by the widow Dorothy Rogers in her will, as
" my maid Elizabeth Rogers." The John Rogers who lived in Bil
lerica was evidently a baker (as I am informed by Mr. Hazen).
Whether a man would change an occupation requiring an appren-
ticehood for another is a question. We have still left John, the
second son of Thomas Rogers, who probably was placed by his
father to learn some other trade than the ancestral one of shoe-
making, in which the eldest son, Thomas, v^as to succeed him. I
am therefore inclined to think that we are to look here for our
Billerica Rogers. ,
It was my good fortune to find in the British Museum two Elegies
which seem to have escaped notice hitherto ; one in manuscript,
which I found in the well known Harleian collection ; the other a
printed broadside, in a collection known as the Luttrell collection.
I found in this latter collection divers other elegies and eulogies
which deserve to be known ; among them one on the Rev. William
Jenkin the younger, I remember, and another on Col. Rainborough.
The two elegies referred to here follow : —
