    LUDLOW, GEORGE, a gent. with prefix of respect, req. adm. 19 Oct.
1630 as freem. was, perhaps, kinsman of Roger L. then one of the
Assist. and may have accomp. him in the Mary and John to Dorchester,
but prob. went home in the spring of the foll. yr. for it may be infer.

under a maledict. for carrying away the town rec. wh. was a charge
long aft. refut. by find. the vol. in town. He had a ch. b. at W. but the
does not tell the Dame; and his d. Sarah m. Rev. Nathaniel Brewster of
Brookhaven. That the habit. heedlessness of Mather, II. 33,
made his name William, is less matter of surprise than that Farmer was
