Rachel, d. of Thomas Pirne, or Perne, and his first ch. a d. was b.
there, and left at home; beside her, six more ds. are said to have been
b. to him, and five s. Of these we can hardly be sure of the dates of

as well as dates. David, b. 6 May 1644; Pirne or Parnell, 1646; and
Grindall, 23 Jan. 1649, wh. d. young, may admit to have their b. at

wh. went to Eng. and never came back, and William, b. at B. 21, bapt.
25 May 1651; Rebecca, 19 Oct. 1654, d. soon; Rebecca, again, b. 21,
bapt. 25 May 1656; Sarah; Elizabeth 12 Nov. 1657; and Grindall, again,

Susan of Roxbury. His w. had d. 11 Oct. 1677. Mary m. 15
May 1657, Rev. Samuel Torrey; Rebecca m. 1 July 1679, one Thomas
Rumsey, a scoundrel, wh. pretend. to be Thomas Hale, jr. a neph. of
the great jurist, Sir Matthew, Ch. J. of Eng. wh. carried her to London,
and immediate. abandon. her; and Sarah m. Thomas Brougton
of Boston. EDWARD, Boston, eldest s. the preced. went home, and
was a sett. min. at Horsmanden in Co. Kent, whence, after the Restor.
he was eject. by the farmer incumbent. GRINDALL, Mendon, youngest
