    "28. Melatiah Vinton, son of John Vinton, Esq., of Stoneham, b. in Stoneham [Woburn], Oct. 29, 1711; m. Sarah Upton of Stoneham, Dec 14, 1732. … Chosen hogreeve, March 6, 1732-3. This was the compliment then bestowed on newly-married men, and, for aught I know, the custom remains to this day. … He spent his life in Stoneham. At a meeting of the church in Stoneham, Feb. 15, 1733-4, 'the Pastor [Rev. James Osgood] laid before the church the desire of Malthiah Vinton to own the covenant and be baptized. Voted, unanimously, that the desire of Malthiah Vinton be granted. And the Pastor, with the church accompanying him, did repair to his house, where this holy ordinance was administered to him.' It seems to be a matter of inference from this transaction that Melatiah Vinton was then dangerously sick; and the probability is, that he soon after died. His name is not found in any later record, and no trace of him appears afterwards."
