    SHAKESPEAR, ISAAC, may be the name of a soldier, k. by the Ind. at
Northampton, 28 Sept. 1675, as in that acco. of Rev. Mr. Russell to our
Gen. Ct. of which Coffin's valua. Hist. 389, 90, gives copy. Uzackabee
Shacksbee is the name on town rec. as Mr. Judd assur. me, and he is
designat. as Praisever Turner's man. Possib. he was a friend. Indian,
not a few of wh. enjoy. the advantage of bear. arms in our cause; but
certain it is very unlike an Eng. or even Christian name.

    SHALER, SHALLOR, SHALIER, SHAILER, SHAYLER or SHALLER,
MICHAEL, Boston, freem. 1690. THOMAS, Haddam, propound. for
freem. 1671, rem. to Killingworth, there had Nathaniel, b. 16 Dec. 1677;
went back to H. and had more, and Goodwin (wh. makes him m. 1673,
Alice, d. of Jared Spencer, wid. of Thomas Brooks), gives other ch. as
Thomas, a. 1674; Abel; Timothy; and Ann; but does not name Nathaniel.
However he says, he sail. for the W. I. 1692, and was lost
at sea.

    SHANNON, RICHARD, Portsmouth 1689, m. Abigail, d. of William
Vaughan, had Cutt, and Nathaniel, and descend. of distinct. are num.

    SHAPLEIGH, spell. sometimes as sound. SHARPLEY, more oft. SHAPLEY,
ALEXANDER, Kittery 1642, had some yrs. bef. been agent, prob. of
Sir Ferdinando Gorges, and so may be thot. to have come from Devonsh.
had Catharine, wh. m. perhaps in Eng. James Treworthy; Nicholas, and
other ch.; all, it may be, b. in his native ld. He soon went home, and
d. there bef. 1650. BENJAMIN, New London, mariner, s. of Nicholas,

the credit of the gr.st. leads us to believe he was the sec. not first Benjamin
of his f. JOHN, Kittey, perhaps s. of Alexander, was serg. 1659;
k. by the Ind. 29 Apr. 1706, as Penhallow tells, when his s. was tak. by
them to Canada, and treat. very cruel. Niles relates the same matter
with slight differ. of date. See 3 Mass. Hist. Coll. VI. 275. NICHOLAS,
Boston, perhaps br. of Alexander, had Benjamin, b. Sept. 1645, perhaps
his youngest, liv. aft. at Charlestown, was a capt. and d. 15 Feb. 1663.
His will, of 21 Jan. 1662, pro. 7 Sept. 1663, gave to his w. "the ho. in
wh. Mr. Roswell lives," wh. was, of course, one of the best in that town,
