and a s. wh. name is not in the rec. 20 Mar. 1663; beside Sarah, wh. is
not found in the rec. He liv. on Marblehead side, was one of the

Farmer says, Dana mistook. His w. Remember, d. of famous Isaac
Allerton
(but in Geneal. Reg. VIII. 270, she is call. Sarah, and possib.
he had both to w. tho. it seems not prob.) d. aft. 1652, and he m. 22 Oct.
1656, Eunice, wid. of Thomas Roberts. His d. Rebecca m. 3 June

His will, pro. 30 Mar. 1686, names w. and Moses, the only surv. ch. of
his d. Rebecca; four ch. of his dec. d. Abigail, viz.: Samuel Ward, Abigail
Hinds, Mary Dollabar, and Martha Ward; and four liv. ds. viz.:
Eliz. Skinner; Remember Woodman; Mary, w. of Archibald Ferguson;
and Sarah, w. of John Norman. PAUL, Boston, s. of the first Elias, m.
Jemima, d. of lieut. John Smith, had Moses, b. 8 Feb. bapt. at Charlestown,
11 Sept. 1681; Jotham, 28 Oct. 1683; John, 14 Aug. 1687, one
yr. old. PETER, Boston, elder br. of the preced. m. Martha, d. of Robert
Bradford
, had Martha, b. 8 Feb. 1671; and James. SAMUEL, Boston,
found here on Noddle's isl. by the Mass. comp. in 1630, hav. built a
little fort with four small pieces of artil. so that we may be sure he was
here in 1629, perhaps came in 1628, too late for liability to expense
of the expedit. of Endicott against Morton. He desir. adm. 19 Oct.
1630, into the comp. but did not take the freeman's o. until 2 Oct. 1632.
Against all probabil. he is call. s. of Rev. John by a writer of more
animation than exactness, in Hist. of E. Boston; and even the careful
Hist. of Dorchester, 404, confident. says the same. For his habit of
hospitality, he was requir. in the spring of 1635, to change his resid. and
move to the peninsula, but that tyranny was not enforced, and in the
autumn of the same yr. he went to Virg. to buy corn, was absent almost
a yr. He was one of the king's Commissrs. 1665, and in a depon. 9
Dec. 1665, sw. he was 63 yrs. old. Of his fam. only w. Amias, d. Mary,
and s. Nathaniel, and Samuel are kn. Nathaniel, wh. was a merch. in
a conveyance by his f. and mo. 1650, of the isl. to some creditors, is
styled heir of Noddle's isl. and he join. in the security. But we never
hear more of him. Mary m. 8 Feb. 1656, John Palsgrave, and next,
20 Sept. 1660, Francis Hooke. She, in a petitn. to Andros, a few wks.
bef. his overthrow, tells a strange story a. her elder br. defraud. his f. of
the title to Noddle's isl. wh. had above seventeen yrs. been own. by Col.
Samuel Shrimpton, under sale from Sir Thomas Temple. It may be,
that, as Shrimpton was oppos. to Sir Edmund A. tho. one of his council,
that this was a contrivance to get rid of him. See Geneal. Reg. VIII.

Rev. John Wheelwright of Wells, had Mary, b. 2 Oct. 1661, and Hannah,
