Dec. aged 87 yrs. Martha m. 8 June 1665, John Cornwell. Elizabeth m. it
is said, a House of Wallingford; Sarah m. Thomas Clark of Hartford;
and Hannah m. 12 May 1680, John Shepherd of Hartford. Two more
ds. are by some tradit, giv. to this first Paul, one, without a name of bapt.
is said to have m. Joseph Benton of Tolland; and the other call. Ruth,
wh. is made to m. 12 May 1680, Thomas Beach of Wallingford; but
neither is very prob. PAUL, Hartford, s. of the preced. m. Elizabeth d. of
John Baysey, had Paul b. in 1666; John, 1672; Martha, 1676; Samuel,

11 July; and no doubt sailing next week, aged 33, with Margery,
perhaps his w. aged 40, and Israel, 7 with Elizabeth 4, both likely eno. to be
his ch. See 3 Mass. hist. Coll. VIII. 269. How long, after arr. at
boston, he contin. there, or whither he rem. is uncert. My conject. is
that he short, aft. liv. at Rehoboth. In the Geneal. Reg. XIV. 320 this
name is by Mr. Drake writ. Perk; and his eyes engag. on the same ancient
MS. as mine, might seem more trustworthy, as younger. For

Hist. Coll. X. 130, I may trust the punctilious student to follow wh.
seems to him more correct. Ano. and younger stud. in this branch
of hist. starts the conject. Geneal. Reg. XV. 60, that the name

prob. br. of Joseph, was bred at Magdalen Coll. Cambr. where
he had his degr. of A. B. and A. M. the latter 1603, was min, over 30

the ceremon. by Bp. Harsnet, his diocesan, whose imprudence in honor
of the ch. wa so gr. as to excite complaint from the peop. of Norwich in
1623 to the Ho. of Commons in Parl. Two successors in that see were
milder, White and Corbet, especial. the latter, but when Wren, that bird
of ill omen, came to the cathedral, no puritan could long serve at the altar.
Mather gains the delight of tell. in his Magn. how this Peck was
put under a bushel, III. 214. He came with w. two ch. and two serv. in
the Diligent, 1638, and on 28 Nov. of that yr. was ord. freem. 13 Mar.
