of that yr. pro. 26 June 1655, is abstr. in Geneal. Reg. V. 242. As might
be expect. that will was unsatisfact. to the eldest s. and the Gen. Ct. in
1656 was appeal. to for result. See Col. Rec. IV., pt. I. 262, and final.
in Oct. III. 418. His est. was very good.
His d. Mary m. 29 May 1662, Samuel Mason of Boston. A John H.
perhaps s. of the preced. was of Casco 1675, or earlier, in that part now
Cape Elizabeth; and in the Catal. of H. C. 1700, is a John H. wh. d.
1759, but we kn. not his descent. SAMUEL, Boston, s. of the preced.
was a barber surgeon 1671, and press. with his instrum. and a med.
student, his serv. into the service for Philip's war, 1676, as he complains,
and press. a sec. time; he says in his petition, that he is required to
watch, and work on fortificat. He may be the freem. 1690, of Charlestown,
call. Homan. SOLOMON, Newbury 1694, by w. Mary had Mary,
b. 24 Feb. 1695; Solomon, 25 Nov. 1697; Edward, 26 Jan. 1700; and
Elizabeth 24 Oct. 1701; but we have no clue to his origin from Mr. Coffin.
THOMAS, Milton, s. of John, m. 19 Feb. 1664, Abigail, prob. d. of John
Rigby of Dorchester, freem. 1678. A Thomas H. of Rehoboth had m.

bef. ment.; Mary, 4; Sarah, 2; and Abraham, 3 mos.; at C. had Seeth,
and Elizabeth b. 19 May 1644. He was from Northampton, EnD. propr. of
a lot, of wh. the Botanic garden is now part, and d. 8 Jan. 1653. His
w. or wid. was slandered as a witch, but permit. to die as a Christian, 15
Oct. 1671. Sarah H. wh. d. 7 May 1672, was, perhaps, a gr.ch. The
two elder ds. I suppose, d. unm. at least we kn. that Mary did, and her
brs. Jeremiah and Abraham admin. her est. 18 Dec. 1673. Sarah m. 9
Apr. 1657, Samuel Parker of Dedham; and Seeth m. 16 Jan. 1662,
Thomas Ross; and Elizabeth prob. d. young. But she had liv. with Benanuel
Bowers, the Quaker, and her mo. brot. suit at law to recover the ch. tho. the
witchcraft prosecut. may not have aris. for her action.

Abraham, b. 1754. His eldest ch. Elizabeth if Deane is right, was b. 1666;
