to Ensworth.

    AKERS, THOMAS, Charlestown, had Thomas, Sarah, and Rachel, d.
prob. 1651, leav. wid. Priscilla, wh. m. "old William Knapp," and outliv.
him. Thomas, the s. had been gone many yrs. to the wars in Ireland,
as his sis. Rachel testif. 22 Aug. 1659, and had not been heard of
for more than ten yrs.

    ALBEE or ALBY, BENJAMIN, Braintree 1641, freem. 18 May 1642,
had, unless the rec. be wrong, Hannah, b. 16 Aug. 1641; Lydia, 14 Apr.
1642; rem. to Medfield 1649, there had Benjamin 1653; as it is said; certain.
Sarah, 11 Mar. 1654; and may have been of Mendon or Swanzey 1669;
most prob. the former. See Col. Rec. Vol. IV. pt. II. 434. Lydia, m. 30
Oct. 1658, Alexander Lovell; and Hannah m. 25 Mar. 1663, Samuel
Wight of M. In his hist. disc. a. Braintree, Whitney prints this name Alber.
JOHN, Salem 1637, freem. 10 May 1643, d. 1690. He may have the sec.
let. of his name pervert. and possib. was f. of Samuel Abby, or Abbee.
JOHN, Braintree, lost a serv. Francis Brown by d. 1640, and may have
been the freem. of 1670, if Paige's reading of the last name in the MS.
of Vol. IV. 651 be more correct than the governm. print. copy of that
Vol. pt. II. p. 584. JOHN, Rehoboth, had Hannah, b. 10 Oct. 1673.

on rec. nothing relat. to the man, exc. that, in Philip's war, the Ind.

    ALBOROW, ALBOROUGH, ALBRO, ALDBURY, ALBROE or ALSBERRIE,
JOHN, Portsmouth, R. I. 1655, was an Assist. 1671, and one of the
counc. appoint. by K. James II. for his Gov. Andros, 1687, as Hutch. I.
354 gives the list. Gladly would we learn more of so promin. a man,
ancest. of the Rev. John A. Albro, D. D. of Cambridge, and speak with
confid. if rec. would permit. Very reasona. may be the conject. that he
came, as a youth of 14 yrs. under charge of William Freeborne, in the
Francis from Ipswich, 1634, to Boston. Freeborne was, we kn. of Boston,
until the sad dissens. a. Mrs. Hutchinson, 1637, when he withdrew
in comp. of so many others with Gov. Coddington to purchase R. I.
What presumption may be drawn, from the mural tablet to Alborough in
