like hims. from Lincolnsh. The fam. was of Alford, in that Co. a. 25
ms. from Boston. His adm. into the ch. was in Oct. the same mo. with
Leverett and Brenton, and a mo. earlier than Quincy and Hough; freem.
4 Mar. 1634, had bapt. here John, 31 Aug. 1634; and Ichabod (it being
in the worst of the antinom. controv.) 3 Sept. 1637. He is in the ch.
rec. call. senr. was one of the princ. men, whose heresy made it necessary
to disarm them in 1637, unless his neph. of the same name be thus
honor.; and withdrew from the "sanguine cloud" that overcast the whole
sky of Mass. going to Rhode Island with his fam. shortly after the b. of
this last ch. and perhaps soon after to Eng. whence he never came back.
* || EDWARD, Boston, eldest s. of William, call. junr. to disting. him from
his uncle, the preced. came bef. his parents, a single man, adm. of the ch.
10 Aug. and freem. 3 Sept. 1634, ar. co. 1638, a capt. 1657, rep. 1658,
and serv. in import. rank in Philip's war 1675, in wh. on 2 Aug. he rec.
wound from Ind. in treacherous assault, says history, when he was march.
to a peaceful meet. with them, of wh. he d. 19th at Marlborough, aged 62,
as the gr.stone says. He was, with his uncle and father, among the first
sett. at Newport, forming their covenant 7 Mar. 1638, but in few yrs.
prefer. Boston for his resid. and deserves honor for his firmness in oppos.
cruelty to the Quakers. A large Mem. of the fam. in Geneal. Reg. I.
297, says, his first w. was Catharine Hamby, d. of a lawyer at Ipswich,
Eng. but it has error of date, a. 1640, whereas we kn. by our ch. rec.
that "Catharine, the w. of our br. E. H. the younger," was adm. 10 Feb.
1639, and had been m. in 1636, or early in 7, for among the bapt. are, 5
Nov. 1637, Elishua, d. of E. H. the younger, wh. prob. d. young; Elizabeth
10 Nov. 1639; Elisha, 28 Nov. 1641, being a. 13 days old; Ann, 19
Nov. 1643, a. 2 days old; William, 18 Jan. 1646, a. one day old, d.
young; Catharine, 14 May 1648, d. soon; Susanna, 10 June 1649; Edward,
perhaps Jan. 1652; Catharine, again, b. 13 Feb. 1653; Benjamin, 22 June
1656, d. bef. his f.; and Hannah, 16 May 1658. A sec. w. Abigail, wid.
of Robert Button, surv. and d. 10 Aug. 1689. She was mo.
of the last four ch. and d. of the wid. Alice Vermaies of Salem. The
pedigree in Drake's valu. Hist. of Boston, 227, tho. it avoids the error
of the less careful fam. Memoir as to date of m. yet follows that auth. in
giv. only three ch. to the sec. w. where he is wrong, and disagrees with
him, where he is right, in parentage of the s. Edward; besides mark. the
bapt. of Elisha on a wrong day 29 Nov. 1641, wh. was Monday, when
the rec. shows the true date 28. Of the ds. Elizabeth m. Edward Winslow,
for sec w.; Ann m. a Dyer, of Newport, and next, Daniel Vernon;
Susanna m. Nathaniel Coddington of Newport; Catharine m. Henry
Bartholomew of Salem; and Hannah m. Peter Walker of Taunton.
