 then w. of Thomas Blanchard), and her mo. Agnes Bent, and the gr.mo. the mo. and a younger ch. d. on
 the voyage, so that he was some yrs. under care of his uncle John Bent, and was put apprent. to said
 Blanchard, when Barnes was only ten yrs. old, wh. also bec. his guardian. After d. of Blanchard, May
 1654, John Grout of Sudbury was made guardian; and for part of this early hist. see Geneal. Reg. IX.
 371. He m. 16 Dec. 1667, perhaps as sec. w. wid. Deborah Dix, but all inq. wh. was her first h. is
 baffled, neither the diligence of Bond, nor the skill of Dr. Harris being adequate to solve it. Yet the list of
 ch. accepted, from Barry by Bond, seems hardly to consist with the prior list of ch. she had b. Leonard,
 John, and William. See Bond, 753. However some may be adm. as Sarah, b. 1669; Richard, 1673; and
 Abigail, 1683, wh. m. 1705, Peter Bent. He d. 22 Jan. 1708. RICHARD, Marlborough, s. prob. of the

 Benjamin, bapt. 24 July 1653; Joseph, 1655, and prob. Thomas, wh. m. Mary, d. of Richard Jones.
 THOMAS, New Haven 1643, br. of Daniel of the same, rem. to Middletown, and d. 1693. He had serv.
 in the Pequot war, 1637, and left s. John; Thomas, b. 26 Aug. 1653; Daniel, 29 Aug. 1659, bapt. 1661,
 on the same day with Abigail, his sis. b. 16 Mar. 1657, but the day on the rec. of ch. is a false one, 27
 June, which was a Thursday; and Maybee, b. 25 June 1663, as the careful town rec. tells, bapt. not, as
 the careless ch. rec. tells, 20 July of that yr. wh. was on Monday; beside three other ds. of wh. Eliz.
 perhaps eldest, was b. 28 May 1650. His w. Mary d. 1676. THOMAS, Swanzey 1669, was a promin.
 man in the Bapt. ch. there, had Eliz. b. 14 Feb. 1675, and prob. others. THOMAS, Marlborough, the
 freem. 1673, wh. pray. for a gr. of Ind. ld. bec. his ho. and goods had been burn. by the enemy in Philip's
 war, may be he wh. came from London 1656, aged 20, in the Speedwell. THOMAS, New Haven, s. of
 [p.123] Thomas of the same, had Mary, b. 1682; Thomas, 24 July 1684, d. young; Thomas, again, 26
 July 1687; Sarah, 1689; Rebecca, 12 Mar. 1691; Abigail, 10 June 1693; Eliz. 10 Nov. 1695; Deborah,
 1 Feb. 1698; Hannah, 31 May 1702; Samuel, 11 Apr. 1705; Nathaniel, 11 Jan. 1707; and Abraham,
 1711. THOMAS, Farmington, prob. s. of Thomas of the same, had Ruth, bapt. 23 Oct. 1692; and Eliz.
 21 July 1695. One THOMAS, of N. Hampsh. 1690, was of those wh. pray. for protect. of Mass.
 jurisdict. WILLIAM, Salisbury 1640, freem. 2 June 1641, by w. Rachel had Mary, wh. m. 23 June 1659,

 Sargent; Sarah, wh. m. 8 Sept. 1670, Thomas Rowell, and next, 26 Oct. 1676, John, or more prob.
 Thomas Harvey, as the Amesbury rec. gives the name; and Rebecca, wh. m. Moses Morrill. Deborah m.
 19 Dec. 1663, Samuel Davis. He was one of the first sett. of Amesbury a. 1654. It has been thot. that he
 is the man in the list of passengers by the Globe from London for Virginia, 1635, and the names of William
 Brown, and Richard Wells in the same list are seen, both, also, found at Salisbury. But those surnames are
 so frequent on both sides of the ocean, that the argument must not be pressed too far. Some persons
 might, at that time, think it easy to go from one part of America to another; but most of those for Virginia
 were not puritans, and all wh. would come to New Eng. especially from London, easily gained direct,
 instead of circuitous passage. Of this name, includ. those spelt without e, Farmer, in 1834, count. seven gr.
 at Yale, five at Harv. and five at other N. E. coll.

 Mary Tilson, had Mary, b. 3 Dec. 1653, and Deane says he soon rem. from S. to York, and, perhaps, in
 1654 to Kennebeck. *JAMES, Swanzey, was a lieut. and Baylies says rep. 1690. He may have been the
 same as the foregoing. Jon, Duxbury, br. of Daniel, m. 15 May 1634, Rebecca, d. of William Collier, had
 John; Job; Daniel; and Rebecca, b. 26 Aug. 1654; seems to have been much giv. to migrat. was at
 Yarmouth, among the fencibles, 1643, again at D. 1646, at Eastham 1652; and his d. is not ment. but the
 w. or wid. Rebecca d. Dec. 1698, aged 88. JOHN, Boston, by w. Joan had Sarah, b. 15 Jan. 1642; and
 John, 17 Nov. 1643; and may have rem. soon, or d. JOHN, Salisbury 1640-50, perhaps came in the
 Confidence, 1638, and d. 1682. JOHN, Lewis finds at Lynn 1642, and says he d. 8 Oct. 1703; but of w.
 or fam. nothing. JOHN, Boston, s. of Samuel of [p.428] the same, was, prob. b. in Eng. m. 30 Dec.
 1651, Susanna, youngest ch. of William Hutchinson, wh. had been tak. by the Ind. 1643, when they k. her
 wid. mo. had Samuel, b. 24 Mar. 1656; Mary, 6 Oct. 1658; John, 23 Jan. 1660, prob. d. soon; Ann, 7
 Mar. 1661; John, again, 17 Jan. 1666; Hannah, 17 Dec. 1668; and William, 13 July 1671; perhaps
 Elisha, and other ch. whose names are not heard, rem. bef. 1664 to look after lds. of Hutehinson, to the
 Narraganset, when the jurisdict. of Conn. appoint. him and others to be magistr. there, and d. early in
 1707. His w. Susanna and s. William had admin. JOHN, Eastham, s. prob. of Daniel, m. says Hamblen
 (in Geneal. Reg. VI. 44), 12, but Col. Rec. has 10, Dec. 1666, Ruth Snow, perhaps d. of Nicholas, had
 Ruth, b. 11 Mar. 1668; John, 6 Mar. 1670; Hepzibah, June 1672; Hannah, 27 Mar. 1675; Joseph, 11

 1725. JOHN, Hartford, had Sarah, bapt. 7 Feb. 1647; and Mary, b. a. 27 June 1654, was constable
 1657, and adm. freem. the same yr. d. 1685, inhis will of 4 Aug. 1683 names ch. John, of Farmington,
 Samuel, and Nathaniel, of Hartford, Job, in Eng. Ann, w. of Andrew Benton, and Lydia, w. of John

 JOHN, Boston, m. 10 Nov. 1659, Susanna, d. of Nicholas Upshur; but this rec. is more prob. of Joseph
 Cox, yet John and Susanna Cole by rec. had John, b. 22 Jan. 1661. JOHN, Hadley 1666, freem. that yr.
 is the same as Cowles. He was call. farmer, to disting. him from the other John, the carpenter, when both

 well as the carpenter John, this farmer had ch. John, Samuel, and perhaps others. JOHN, Duxbury, s. of
 Job, m. 21 Nov. 1667, Eliz. Rider; but this man is very indistinet. seen in Winsor, 247. JOHN, Swanzey
 1669. JOHN, Farmington, s. of John, the Hartford carpenter, may be the man, wh. by w. Rachel had
 John, aged 24; Rachel, perhaps wid. of Joseph Smith, 21; Samuel, 13; and Nathaniel, 11, when his will of
 Sept. 1689, and his inv. of Nov. foll. were brot. in. But no slight uncertain. attends this inquiry. Ano.
 JOHN of Farmington, perhaps s. of the Cowles farmer, had Dorothy, bapt. 3 July 1681; and Lydia, 22
 Mar. 1685. Under Cowles the cloud may be seattered or increas. JOHN, Gloucester, by w. Mehitable
 had Daniel, b. 14 May 1669. JOHN, Pemaquid 1674. JOHN, Groton, had a d. perhaps Hepzibah, b. 20
 Feb. 1672. JOHN, Boston, m. Mary, d. of the brave John Gallop, k. in the decis. battle of Philip's war,

 constable 1653, had Jane, wh. m. Joseph Litchfield, and next, 2 July 1698, John Heard of Dover.
 Perhaps he had, also, NICHOLAS, of Wells, a soldier, k. by the Ind. 11 May 1704. His name on Maine
 rec. appears Coole. RICE, or RISE, Charlestown 1630, among mem. of the ch. of Boston precedes Rev.
 John Eliot, and he is of those dism. Oct. 1632, to form the new ch. at C. with his w. of the odd name of
 Arrold, wh. does not, however, stand in the Boston list, was adm. freem. 1 Apr. 1633, and d. 15 May

 was oft. punish. for drunken. yet in 1638 seems to be reform. if remis. of fines may just. be thus
 understood, tho. it may only have been act of policy to ensure his rem. from our jurisdict. But at last he
 went to Providence, was reform. in earnest, and bec. one of the found. of the first Bapt. ch. there. By w.
 Mary he had John, beside Daniel, Nathaniel, Robert, and ds. Sarah, perhaps youngest; Ann, wh. m.
 Henry Townsend; Eliz. wh. m. John Townsend; both from L. I. where Quakers were persecut. by the
 Dutch. He d. bef. 18 Oct. 1654, when the town counc, exercis. their duty of mak. distrib. of his prop. in

 David, 21 Dec. 1683; and Jonathan, 2 Sept. 1686. || SAMUEL, Boston, came in the fleet with Winth.

 was sw. 18 May foll. and of ar. co. 1637, being one of its found. The first ho. of entertain. in B. was open.
 by him 1633. His w. d. early, and how many ch. she had is not cert. but prob. the sec. w. wh. was wid.
 Margaret Green, and his third, m. 16 Oct. 1660, Ann, wid. of Robert Keayne, gave him none. The

 eldest s. of his s. John; and gr.ch. Samuel Royal, ch. of Phebe Green, d. of his sec. w. that was w. of

 Ind. to Wheelwright, with wh. he rem. to Wells, 1640, was constable 1645, submit. with John and
 Nicholas, perhaps his s. perhaps brs. 1653, to the Mass. jurisdict. may have rem. to Hampton, there d. 26

 1673, I suppose, Robert Auger; and Hannah was bapt. Apr. 1653. Over the remains of this latest dep.

 Conn. tho. nominat. having failed of elect. after the chart. of Charles II., the gr.stone bears only the initials
 M. G., and above them the numerals 80. Perverse ingenuity, in Presid. Stiles, support. an extravag.
 hypothesis (that the corpses of the two regicides, Whalley and Goffe, wh. d. at Hadley, and there were
 bur. by their devot. supporter, Rev. John Russell, very close to his cellar wall, had been disinter. and were
 brot. to New Haven, to lie near that of Dixwell), has been compell. to suppose that by M. G. the

 Samuel Field of Hatfield. John was tak. by the Ind. in Philip's war, 1675 or 6, and Mrs. Rowlandson,
 during her captiv. among them, saw and assist. him. He escaped with gr. peril of his life; but I kn. nothing
 more. THOMAS, Topsfield, from Scotland, it is said, but I hesitate to believe it, came in the Prudent Mary
 from London, arr. at Boston, July 1661. A fellow passeng. was Ch. J. Samuel Sewall, then nine yrs. old.
 He had been min. in Eng. and soon found a place in our country as first min. of T. in 1663. But his imprud.
 and intemper. requir. his dism. and he went back to Charlestown, where he had first sett. and d. 26 Oct.
 1673 at the ho. of Rev. Zechariah Symmes. His will, of 2 June 1673, wh. gives every thing to w. Eliz.
 speaks of £30 due “for pains in the ministry at T.” tho. we may fear, as his dism. was not reputable, it
 could not be recov. at law. It is strange, that ch. rec. of Charlestown, on recept. of his wid. call. her Sarah.
 Budington gives from the Magn. part IV. of Book III. cap. VI., the monument inscript. wh. is still legib.
 THOMAS, Saybrook s. of John of Hartford, m. 27 Sept. 1681, Deborah Beamont, had a ch. 7 June

 only a mistake of Lambert, as other inquir. find not such person there. ROBERT, Hull, m. 1666, Judith,

 doubtful; but perhaps was first of Cambridge, and by w. Mary had Jacob, b. 16 Sept. 1643; d. 26 Oct.
 1662. THOMAS, Newport 1655, m. Eliz. d. of William Balstone, may have been many yrs. of Wickford

 other of his neighb. to Reading. ZACCHEUS, Weymouth 1639. ZACCHEUS, Ipswich 1644 (in that pt.
 wh. soon was incorp. as Topsfield), came from Hants Green, near Potter's Row, in Co. Bucks, a parish,
 seen on the map, a. 33 miles from London, near Gr. Missenden, left good est. to only s. John, and four ds.
 perhaps, both at Rowley and Topsfield. His d. Phebe m. Thomas Perkins; Martha m. John Newmarch;
