    "Richard Mellens1 of Weymouth and Charlestown, Mass. He was made Freeman, Sep. 7, 1639, being then of Weymouth, and afterwards removed to Charlestown. (N. E. Reg., 3, p. 187.) Savage says 'Of no family in the land is the investigation more difficult, the spelling more various, the dates more perverse, the deficiencies more numerous.' On the Charlestown Records the name is spelled Mellers, which deceived Farmer, making him think it was a real new name. (Savage.) His name is found in the list of Freemen under date of Sep. 7, 1639."
