    THORNE, SAMUEL, a soldier of Gallop's comp. 1690, for the
mad exped. against Quebec, acc. the list in Geneal. Reg. XIII. not
in IX. THOMAS, Roxbury, is the false name in town rec. giv. to
WILLIAM, of Boston, a laborer, liv. at Muddy riv. whose w. was of the
ch. at B. The keeper of that rec. enhances his wrong, by mutilat. the
name of the ch. bapt. 23 Mar. 1645, Desiretruth, from wh. he withdraws
the last syl. but I am happy to assure the admirers of a good name, that
the evidence of the Roxbury ch. volume vindicates the whole truth. He
was prob. liv. at Lynn, when freem. 2 May 1638, and Lewis mades him
rem. to L. I. 1642. If so, ano. WILLIAM wh. is the same that in the
town rec. of R. is call. Thomas, whose love of truth was so happi.
exemplif. in the name bestowed on his first ch. at Roxbury under his
true prefix of William, had Hannah, bapt. 9 May 1646; on 17 Apr. of
the next yr. was adm. of the Boston ch. and had Israel, bapt. 14 July
1650. So he might well snap his fingers in contempt of the town clk.
of R. especial. after John Acres of B. had m. his eldest d. wh. join. the
ch. at R. 8 July 1666, and on the next Sunday triumph. brot. to bapt.
her ds. Elizabeth and Desiretruth by the Acres. WILLIAM, New London,
was from Co. Dorset, m. 1676, Lydia, d. of James Redfield, wid. of
Thomas Bailey.
