Elizabeth Whiting; and Deborah Hovey; beside gr.ch. Edmund, and Elizabeth Chadwick.
GEORGE, Exeter 1639, Saco 1652, was a preach. at both, and elsewhere, but,
in 1653, was forbid. by the Gen. Ct. to preach or prophesy on penalty of £10
for every offence. He had been that very yr. sworn freem. of Mass. 5 July at
Wells, but rem. to Sandwhich 1658, m. Jane, wid. of Anthony Bessey, and

perhaps s. of the preced. m. Abigail, d. of Robert Lockwood. MOSES,
Rochester, perhaps br. of Aaron of the same, had rem. thither
from Sandwich bef. 1684. THOMAS, Fairfield 1653, had been a
juror in 1645, by w. Rose acc. Hinman, in Ed. sec. p. 131, had Phebe,
Deborah, and Mary, and made his will 8 Sept. 1658. THOMAS, Boston,
by w. Elizabeth (whose ch. by two later h.'s in choos. their guardian, Joseph
Royall, call him uncle) had Elizabeth b. 13 Nov. 1657; and Sarah, 18 July

reduc. by C. that after his d. the Court gave most of his resid. to B.'s only
ch. Sarah. THOMAS Charlestown, m. 29 Oct. 1681, Elizabeth Mellins, had ds. Elizabeth
Hurd and Mary Moore. Sometimes this name appears in early rec. Barley. Joel,
kn. as the author of the Columbiad, an heroic poem, and of Hasty Pudding,
an agreeable one, was by Hinman, in his first Ed. p. 14, call. a descend. of
that Thomas of Fairfield, tho. on later inq. he found him s. of Samuel, b.

the U. S. represent. their honor and independ. foll. in the train of Napoleon
the first (like the vassal kings, wh. felt none of this American's
audacious enthusiasm), in the madman's march to Moscow, at a wretched
ho. on the desolate plains of Poland.

Hide, blushing glory, hide Pultova's day.

In Duyckinck's Cycloped. I. 391, large extr. in more than twelve pages
are giv. from the poetry of B. with impartial election from pleasant, indiffer.
or dull pieces, and even his detesta. homage to the guillotine; but much

composed by him. They seem to be a holy cry of vengeance for the degrading
serv. to wh. he was call.
