    "1. Martha Beard came from England, with her husband and five children, and settled in Milford. Conn., in 1639. She was one of the first settlers of that town. Her husband, whose name tradition says was James, and probably this is correct as his eldest son was called James, died on the ship (Martin ?) in passage from England to America. She was admitted to the First Congregational Church of Milford, Nov. 1, 1640. This church was organized in 1639. She died June 11, 1649."
