"Preserved2, son of Roger and Johanna Clapp, was born Nov. 23, 1643. He lived in Dorchester during the first twenty years or more of his life, when he removed to Northampton, then a far distant settlement in the western limits of the colony, and comprising, with Springfield, the whole inhabited portion of western Massachusetts. Here he soon became one of the leading men in civil and ecclesiastical affairs, and his usefulness was continued during a long and active life. 'He was,' says Blake, 'a good instrument and a great blessing to the town of Northampton, where he lived. He was a Captain of the town, and their Representative in the General Court, and Ruling Elder in the church.' He married June 4, 1668, fourteen years after settlement of the town was begun, Sarah, daughter of Benjamin Newbury, of Windsor, Ct., who went from Dorchester to that place. They had seven children who lived to grow up. He died at Northampton, Sept. 20, 1720, aged about 77 years. She died Oct. 3, 1716."
