1683; all at Middletown. He rem. to Hartford, there had Watts, 1
Mar. 1686; Abigail, 1687, d. soon; Mary, Feb. 1689; John, Aug. 1691;
and Sarah, 10 Nov. 1696; and he d. 1732, aged 88, says the rec. that
vainly adds the four yrs. THOMAS, Middletown, first of Hartford 1647,
perhaps br. of George of the same, tho. ano. conject. is, that he was s. of
James the first, but almost certain. s. of William, stands at the head of
a long list of freem. 1657; by w. Mary whose surname is as uncert. as
his own orig. had only five ch. all liv. at the time of his d. 1671: mary,
aged 14; Thomas, 10; Ebenezer, 7; John, 4; and George, 1 and 1/2 yrs.
The wid. m. 1 Oct. 1674, deac. John Hall. THOMAS, Billerica 1656, d.
Nov. 1662, and admin. on his est. 16 Dec. foll. was giv. to wid. Elizabeth
In the Hist. of the diabol. witchcr. delus. Essex Inst. II. 191, to one
Elizabeth H. is giv. the bad distinct. of being brot. as witness in more
cases than others. * WILLIAM, Ipswich, came in the Defence 1635,
from London, aged 40, with w. Judith, 25; and Martha, 22; Mary, 20; wh.
were, perhaps, his sis. unless we prefer to think some of the figures wrong;
beside John, 15; William, 13, H. C. 1642; Nathaniel, 6; and Richard, 4, H. C.
1653; who may have been his ch. emb. in July. Yet I doubt the yrs.
assign. to Judith, wh. was his w. should be 35, unless she were sec. He
is call. husbandman, had, I presume, favor. the col. some yrs. as the
historian, his s. ment. p. 122, that he had adv. £50 to its treasr. He was
freem. 2 May 1638, rep. that yr. and sev. foll. rem. to Boston 1662, and
d. 1670. In his will of 8 June of that yr. pro. 19 Aug. after, he gave
most of his prop. because he had bef. provid. for s. Nathaniel, and Richard,
to the min. of Ipswich, his eldest s. partic. the est. free or copyhold,
with houses, buildings, &c. in Tendring Hundred, wh. is in Essex, border.
on Suff'k. His d. Margaret m. Thomas Scott of I. wh. d. 1657, at
Stamford, and next, Ezekiel Rogers, and d. 1678; and Martha m. John
Whittingham, and next Simon Eyre, of Boston. A Mary H. came in
the Hopewell, Capt. Babb, at a later day in the same yr. aged 24; and
a third Mary aged 24, earlier in the same yr. in the Blessing. WILLIAM,
Lynn, 1644 came, it may be, in the Elizabeth and Ann, from London, Apr
1635, aged 35, with Thomas, 10, likely to be his s. or possib. he
came in the Elizabeth from London, Apr. 1635, aged 35, with John, 10,
wh. however, seem only to refer to one embark. of one man and prob. his
s. yet the confus. may have been intentional to deceive an arbitr. governm.
or, as I easi. believe, it may have come from carelessn. in the subord. min.
of that tyranny. Dr. Harris would reckon one of the name among
the first sett. of Dorchester 1630; but I see little ground for so read. the
rec. unless it be that a William is nam. at Conn. 1643. WILLIAM, Ipswich,
s. of William of the same, b. in Eng. came with his f. freem. 1653, was
ord. 17 Nov. 1658, collea. with Thomas Cobbett, wh. he excelled in
mildness of temp. m. Margaret, only d. of Rev. Nathaniel Rogers, had
John, b. 1648; Nathaniel; Margaret; and perhaps others; was in
