    "William (Southwell), Northampton, m. 24 Feb. 1687, Sarah, d. of John Stebbins of the same, was freem. 1690, had Mary, b. 25 Feb. 1688; Enoch, 1689, d. soon; Sarah, 19 Nov. 1690; Ebenezer, 17 Jan. 1694; Abigail, Apr. 1696, d. young; Hannah, 16 Sept. 1698; Enoch, again, 26 Apr. 1700; and John, b. and d. 1703. No gain has follow. the search for this man's origin; and perhaps one of the very few instances of emigrat. from Eng. to our country, later than 1670, may be this of Southwell. More than the proportion of ninety-five in the hundr. of the populat. of N. E. in 1775, had descend. I think, from the sett. wh. came at least 25 yrs. bef. that earlier date."
