~"Matthew Coe was a fishermen and lived in Portsmouth 1640. He removed to Gloucester before 1647 (Babson) in which year, with Morris Somes, John Wakely, and Davis Wheeler, he was brought before a court at Salem for hunting and killing a raccoon on the Lord's Day in time of public service, to the disturbance of the congregation.
In 1651 he had a grant of six acres of land "upon the neck that is on the side of the stage-nick." After having resided here several years, he sold his house and land to Thomas Riggs, in 1661, for forty pounds. 7 Oct. 1661, Thomas Riggs bought of Coe and the Wakleys, house, garden and home lots on the south side of Goose Cove.
He is known to have resided in Casco, Me. and also in Salem, Mass., but removed to Falmouth in 1661, where with Thomas Wakely and his sons John and Isaac, they bought of Richard Tucker two hundred acres of land on the north margin of Back Cove."HISTORY OF PORTLAND BY WILLIAM WILLIS Page 106...
"In order to bring together the grants and settlements around Back Cove, we will anticipate a year or two and introduce the conveyance by Richard Tucker, of the only land on the northern margin of the Cove, which remained at this time unoccupied. Tucker's deed was made May 23, 1661, to Thomas Wakely, Matthew Coe, John Wakely, and Isaac Wakely, all of Cape Ann; the land is described as follows: "the full quantity of two hundred acres of upland ground not yet improved, with the ten acres of meadow, lying and being within two miles or thereabouts of the said land, which meadow hath formerly been improved by order of said Tucker. Now know ye that this two hundred acres of land expressed, is situate, lying and being between the lot of George Lewis and Thomas Skillings, in the place commonly called Back Cove, and where now the said Lewis and Skillings are in habited." These persons constituted one family; John and Isaac Wakely, were the sons of Thomas and Matthew Coe married his daughter; they immediately settled upon their purchase.

5638. Richard CUTTS 1 was born in 1627 in Of Portsmouth, Rockingham, New Hampshire. He was christened on 23 Jun 1615 in Bath, Somset., Eng. He died on 10 May 1675 in (wp) Portsmouth, Rock., Nh. He married Eleanor ALDERSEY about 1650 in Portsmouth, Rockingham, Nh. [Parents]
"In the mid-[sixteen] forties, however, patterns of government began to change. .... New leaders soon emerged, including ... two merchants, [brothers] John and Richard Cutt, who decided to move their trading activities from the offshore islands to the mainland. ...." (Colonial New Hampshire - A History, Daniell, p. 42).
"In the 1640s, the Cutt brothers and a few others began exporting lumber and naval stores as well as fish." (Colonial New Hampshire - A History, Daniell, p. 55).
"In Portsmouth, the same group which filled the vacuum created by the termination of Masonian activities in the Piscataqua continued to make the best of their opportunities. The Cutt brothers, Sherburne [and others] assumed political power after Warnerton died and retained it after union with Massachussetts. They served as deputies in the General Court and associates on the county court, gained election to town offices, received large grants in the distribution of community property, owned the large grain mills, and controlled much of Portsmouth's overseas trade. Immigration and death altered the composition of the group but not its nature. ... Richard and John Cutt remained the most prominent figures, [new immigrants] Daniel and Vaughn were married to Cutt daughters ...." (Colonial New Hampshire - A History, Daniell, p. 59-60).
In 1664 a Royal Commission arrived in New Hampshire to investigate whether the nearby Massachusetts Bay colony was claiming authority outside the boundaries of their original grant. And the Commission was in part trying to investigate whether the Mason family's rights were being violated. Mason's grandson, in an age when "conflict of interest" was apparently not a problem, deputized the head of the Royal Commission to also be the family's agent. They found that Massachussetts had indeed been wrongly claiming authority over New Hampshire. The Commission had a very broad mandate: to " ' proceed in all things for the providing for and settling the peace and security' of the region."
Many of the established local leaders in New Hampshire, with their commercial ties to Massachussetts, understandably felt threatened by this active Commission, who appointed a whole new set of officials in neighbouring Maine, ordered fortifications built at the Piscataqua harbour, and lectured a public meeting about New Hampshire's independence from Massachussetts.
Richard Cutt must have felt particularly vulnerable, as his home was at the abandoned original Great House built by Captain Mason's employees and definitely had been part of Mason's property. The Great House had been built in 1631 and Brewster reports it was on Water Street "on the south east corner of Court Street" in Strawberry Bank (Portsmouth). In 1646 Richard Cutts was the third occupant, after Thomas Warnerton and Sampson Lane (Brewster's Rambles About Portsmouth#2 at Seacoastnh.com). Many were upset at the potential loss of everything they had worked for over the decades. One of the Royal Commissioners, Samuel Maverick, "complained of frequent insults and obtained depositions proving Richard Cutt had stated publicly of the commissioners that 'a dagger should be put in their guts,' or words to that effect." Later "Cutt backed down and apologized for his remarks." (Colonial New Hampshire - A History, Daniell, pp. 70-71).
In a 1660 redistribution of Portsmouth lands, Richard is acknowled as having 410 acres. He surrendered 100 of these acres which were then redistributed to others. Richard must have been in agreement on this surrender, as he was one of the seven signatories at the bottom of the redistribution committee report. (Brewster's Rambles About Portsmouth#4 at Seacoastnh.com).
At or before his death, the Great House passed to his brother, John. This house had collapsed by 1685. Brewster places Richard's death in 1676. His will is transcribed in Brewster's #5 and includes five slaves given to his wife.
"Mary Chauncy, Wife of Charles Chauncy, and Daughter to the Honble Richard Cutt Esqr. died April 23d. 1758, in the 24th. Year of her Age, with her Infant Son Charles Chauncy. The quiet isolated old Cutts cemetery in Kittery Point is a part of the large, coast-bound farm of Mr. John Thaxter, on Cutts- Dartington, improperly and commonly called Cutts Island; and the farm of Mr. Thaxter is a part of the valuable estate that has [come] down from Captain Francis Champernowne, through the Cutts."

5642. Thomas WALFORD 1 died on 27 Jun 1667 in (will), Portsmouth, Rock., n.H.. He married Jane GUY before 1650 in Charlestown, Rockingham, New Hampshire.
A Blacksmith, he came to New England with Gorges in 1623?
"He was the earliest and sole inhabitant of Charlestown, being there when the Spragues and others arrived in 1629. He was fined in 1631 for contempt of authority and ordered to leave the juisdiction before Oct 20. In Sep 1633 his goods were sequestered to pay the debts he owed in the Bay. He moved to Portsmouth (Great Island) and also built Sandy Beach in Capt Neal's time without disturbance from Neal.
"Lived on the Little Harbor side and after at Sagamore Creek. His son Jeremiah lived on his Great Island land.
In 1640, a grant of 50 acres of glebe land was made to Thomas Walford (Wallingford) and Henry Sherburne and their successors forever."He was on the grand jury 1650,1652, 1655, 1659,1660; and a selectman 1655, 1658.
"For years trouble followed them in New Hampshire through contests over land and charges of witchcraft against his wife Jane. By Oct 1649 he had given land to his daughter Jones and to his son. His will Nov 21 [what year?] names wife Jane, children, many grand children.
"He died in Portsmouth, Rockingham County, NH."
(From: Walford webpage)He retained 68 acres he already owned in 1660, and was granted 42 more acres of land in Portsmouth in a 1660 distribution (Brewster's #4).
"Thomas, blacksmith, came to Charlestown, Mass. before 1628; was living in a thatched and pallisaded house on the arrival of the Spragues and others from Salem in the Spring of 1628-9. In some unexplained way he incurred the displeasure

5644. Henry SHERBURNE was born on 28 Mar 1611 in Odiham,Hampshire,England. He was christened on 28 Mar 1611 in Odiham,Hamps,Eng. He died in 1680/1681 in Portsmouth,Rock.,Nh. He married Rebecca GIBBONS on 13 Nov 1637 in Portsmouth,Rockingham,n.H.. [Parents]
"... Henry Sherburne, had come to Portsmouth [New Hampshire] in the 1630s and was both a farmer and tavern keeper." (strawberybanke.org, p. 2)
Henry Sherburne came to what is now New Hampshire as an employee of the Laconia Company. This company was organized in about the sixteen twenties and before it went bankrupt "sometime before 1634" (Daniell, p. 24) it had organized three communities in the Piscataqua River region. Henry was one of those who stayed there after the bankruptcy.
"In the mid-[sixteen] forties, however, patterns of government began to change [in Strawberry Bank, New Hampshire]. ... New leaders soon emerged, including former Laconia Company employees Henry Sherburne .... [who, as a group] organized an informal "town" which confirmed land grants, issued permits for cutting treees, and generally assumed civil authority." (Jere Daniell, Colonial New Hampshire - A History, p. 42).
He was one of the Massachusetts-appointed associate magistrates in the county court who heard the accusation of witchcraft made against Jane Walford in 1656, and later awarded £5 in damages and costs to this lady for defamation of character. (Daniell, pp. 46-7). This episode doesn't appear to have stopped their grandchildren from marrying each other.
The following from a Gencircles website
"Henry was twenty-one when he sailed from London on the "James", reaching Boston on June 5, 1632."He is said to have been a warden of the first church at Plymouth in 1640.
"Generally given the title of "Mr." in the records he was a grand juryman in 1643, served the town as selectman twelve times between 1652 and 1672, suceeded Dr. Fernald as town clerk in 1656 and held the office for three years. He was "commissioner to end small causes," or a local justice, for many terms from 1649 to 1666. In 1649 he sued Thomas Wedge for slandering his wife and got judgement.
"Under Massachusetts Bay authority Sherburne got further preferment. On October 23, 1651, he and Mr. Ambrose Lane and Mr. Brian Pendleton were "invested with ample power and enabled as associates with Capt. Thomas Wiggin to keep one court a year a Strawberry Bank and to try all civil and criminal actions." Individually they were authorized to administer oaths, keep the peace and try cases involving less than 40s. In 1654 he was appointed "searcher" for Piscataqua, to see that no one took out of the jurisdication by sea or by land more than 20s. In 1660 he was a deputy to the General Court of the Bay Colony, representing Portsmouth.
"Opposition to Massachusetts ran high on 1665 and with other Portsmouth men Henry Sherburne was arrested and taken to Boston, charged with sedition. His defence was recorded in a deposition signed November 8, 1665, in which he was stated to be fifty-three years old. He swore that, being at home one morning in the past summer, some neighbors came by and told him that they were going up to Strawberry Bank where the peiple were meeting to sign a petition. They asked him to go with them and he at first refused but "with much importunity they persuaded me." He heard the petition read by Mr. Corbett at his house where about eighteen or twenty men were present, but he refused to sign it because where were some words in it "concerning the usurpation of power over the people here by the Massachusetts government." Quite possibly his discretion ran counter to his opinions.
"After the death of his first wife, Rebecca, Henry Sherburne contracted an ill-advised alliance which brought him much trouble. His new wife was Sarah, widow of Walter Abbott, a Portsmouth innholder who had also died in 1667 leaving his business affairs in poor order. As the husband of Abbott's executive Sherburne was joined as defendant in several long continued suits involving Abbott's property and obligations. The principle difficulty, however, was Sarah's temperament. In 1668, within a year of their wedding, Sarah was before the court for beating her husband and "breaking his head," while Henry was charged with beating his wife several times. They were both bound to good behavior. In 1670 Sarah appeared as witness against Henry who was charged with fighting with John Kenniston - probably a tavern brawl. The next year, 1672, saw "Mr. Sherburne and his wife presented for disorderly Liveing & fighting" and the unhappy man "owned that they Lived disorderly." They were fined 50s. apiece or to be whipped ten stripes each. Naturally he paid the fines for it would have been intolerable for a man who had sat so long on the local bench to submit to a public whipping.
"Mystery hangs over the end of Henry Sherburne. In the court of December 7, 1680, he sued Edward Bickford for trespass because of damage done by Bickford's hogs, cattle and horses, and lost the case. Later in the same session a complaint which he had lodged against the Bickford children for stealing his pears was called, but Sherburne did not appear to prosecute and Bickford was discharged. Buy June, 1681, Sherburne was dead under circumstances which led the magistrates to summon Edward Bickford, his wife and children for questioning, but their examination produced no damaging evidence and they were dismissed, but not without a trace of lingering suspicion. In her family record Mary Sloper, Sherburne's daughter, says, "his death we was not sensible of." Possibly he wandered away in December of 1680 and died of exposure in a winter storm, his body not recovered until June of 1681. This is, however, only conjecture." (From: Gencircles, which in turn cites The Ancestry of Joseph Waterhouse 1754-1837 of Standish, Maine, Page 98)
He was the holder of 151 acres in Portsmouth in a 1660 accounting and redistribution of land. (Brewster's #4).
See Google books for a transcript of Mary Sloper's recollection of the family, similar to the excerpt (above) from Waterhouse.
