JOHN, Derby 1694-1706, had preach. in Haddam, as early as 1683; by
Mather, in Hecatompolis, erron. mark. as bred at Harv. but he is not in the
Catal. of alumni, yet may be the gent. to wh. in 1710 was giv. A. M. being
the third honor. degr. ever conf. by the Inst. and by Farmer he was thot.
s. of Rev. Thomas of Charlestown, but Dr. Field inf. us, p. 69, that
he was "suppos. to be a native of Wales"; and Dr. Stiles had
informat. that he came from Eng. was "devot. to books," and d. at
Wethersfield, 10 Aug. 1729, hav. there liv. in priv. some yrs. This
Stiles deriv. prob. from MS. of Rev. Mr. Mix, min. of Wethersfield at the
date of d. of James, and above thirty-five yrs. earlier; and M. call. him "a
very good man, with a very ungraceful deliv." That the first
min. of Charlestown might have s. John liv. to that date should not be
full ground of conject. but it obt. no support from the name in Frothingham,
183, among the householders of 1678, Thomas James, for this is found
by severe inspect. to be Thomas Jones. This John, prob. left no
descend. or Mix would have ment. the names. JOSEPH, Fairfield 1674,

PHILIP, Hingham, prob. br. of Francis; came 1638, in the Diligent, with
w. four ch. and two serv. William Pitts, and Edward Mitchell (we
may regret that blessed Daniel Cushing has not as well told us, in his
contempo. rec. the names of these ch.) from Hingham, in old Norfolk. He
d. soon after, and his wid. m. 14 Feb. 1640, George Russell. RALPH,
Weymouth 1650, may be thot. the man wh. m. 17 Apr. of that yr. at Plymouth,
Mary Fuller; d. perhaps of Samuel of the Mayflower. SAMUEL, Scituate, thot. by
Deane to be f. of William. THOMAS, Charlestown, bred at Emanuel Coll.
Cambridge, where he had his degr. 1614 and 1618, had preach. in Co. Lincoln,
where prob. he was b. came in the William and Francis 1632, arr. 5 June,
with w. Elizabeth and prob. s. Thomas; freem. 6 Nov. 1632; had John, bapt. 9
June or 6 Jan. 1633, the first bapt. of that ch. says Budington, 35; but the
less trusty town rec. makes the b. 18 Jan. and I kn. not any other
ch. at C. His ordin. for the serv. of those wh. had 14 Oct. been dism.
from Boston ch. to found the new one was on Friday 2 Nov. 1632, and
bef. the end of next yr. a spirit of discord or jealousy was so active, that
as early as Mar. 1636 he was dism. After few yrs. he went to New
Haven, where in Nov. 1639 a lot was gr. to him; made a freem. of that
Col. 1640; he had Nathaniel, bapt. 1 Aug. 1641; thence, on 7 Oct.

back in June foll. and bef. 1648 went home, bec. min. of Needham, in
Co. Suffolk, and so cont. until the gr. day of eject. in 1662, but pass. the
remainder of his days there, and was liv. in 1678, then a. 85 yrs. old,
