date 1628, and on the same premises our confidence reposes, that the true
yr. was 1629. He had w. Joan, and the Nos. of hims. and her on our ch.
list are 102 and 3. He had Samuel, bapt. 3 June 1632, but he may
have been b. many mos. for his was the sixth ch. nam. in our list, and
the rite had not been perform. since Nov. 1630, by reason of the abs. of
Wilson the pastor, wh. came back from Eng. the wk. bef. this bapt. He
and his w. were of the 33, wh. had desir. dismiss. from the congr. of Boston
"to enter into a new ch. body at C." and were dismiss. 14 Oct. 1632;
and his d. Mary was bapt. 14 Sept. 1634; s. Phineas, 31 July 1637.
He had sprung, I imagine, from Dorsetsh. and own. lds. in Upway of
that Co. as by let. of 25 Mar. 1651 from his f.-in-law, John Corbin, at
that parish, appears. On 19 Oct. 1630 he req. adm. and 18 May foll.
was sw. as freem. made constable at the Gen. Ct. Oct. 1630, serg. lieut.
and capt. in regular success, rep. May 1635, being the third time of such
an assemb. and very frequ. aft.; ar. co. 1639; but I believe that in later
days he liv. on Mistick side, or Malden, for his name is in a commiss. to
set. bounds there, and he d. Nov. 1650, and his s. Jonathan next mo.
and his name of the wid. is the sec. on the women's memo. to the Gen.
Ct. 1651 in favor Matthews; and she may have m. eleven yrs. later
Edward Converse of Woburn. Mary, his d. m. Daniel Edmunds, oft.
writ. Edmunds, and in the will of her br. Capt. Richard has good provis.
* RICHARD, Charlestown, came, no doubt, with the preced. wh. was
elder br. bring. w. Mary, and on the Boston list of ch. mem. stands bef.
his br. being No. 79, adm. freem. 18 May 1631, was with w. dismiss.
Oct. 1632, to form new ch. at C. in 1637 took side with Wheelwright,
and sign. the remonstr. against the proceed. of the Ct. but on express.
his regret, the signa. was eras.; was of ar. co. 1639, capt. rep. 1659 and
sev. yrs. more, prob. had no. ch. and d. 25 Nov. 1668, aged 63. His
will of 15 Sept. preced. names w. Mary, Richard, John, Samuel, and
Phineas, s. of his br. Ralph, his br. William of Hingham, and gave to
Harv. Coll. 30 ewes with their lambs. By the will of his wid. 12 Nov.
1671, pro. 16 June 1674, we gain a fine fam. crop. It names kinsmen,
lieut. John, Samuel, and Phineas Sprague; kinsman Nathaniel Rand,
and his s. Nathaniel; kindsman, Lawrence Dowse and his two ds. Elizabeth
and Mary; childr. of Thomas Rand, and Lawrence Dowse; Jonathan,
s. of Daniel Edmands; br. William Sprague, and his childr. sis. Alice
Rand; kinsmen Thomas Rand, Nathaniel Rand, Lawrence Dowse,
Abraham Newell, Nathaniel Brewer, and Thomas Lord; Mary Dowse,
d. of Lawrence; made Excors. Nathaniel Rand, and lieut. John Sprague.
His inv. summed up well. * RICHARD, Charlestown, s. of Ralph, b.
in Eng. m. 25 Feb. (but Goodwin says 1 Feb.) 1673, Eunice, d. of
Leonard Chester, wh. d. 27 May 1676; in 1674 dur. the Dutch war, he
