was young, and his mo. liv. yet the name of no. of no other s. exc. John, or d.
exc. Mary, Margaret, and Ann. was ever told. Of twenty-one s. the regard
for males in nine cases out of ten, so greatly exceed, that for females,
we are justify. in looking for the names of more than two, especial, as
three out of the five ds. count. by Mather, find place in his will of their br.
the Gov. JOHN, Reading, by Eaton classed among the early sett. of
wh. it is desira. to kn. more, that something might be said beyond guess,
that he was b. at Charlestown. Had any date been affex. we should be
able to conject. that he was, or was not, that JOHN, s. of James, wh. had
John, prob. b. near the mo. of Kennebeck wh. accomp. his uncle William
1686, in search of the treasure ship. No more is kn. of him. But some
amus. tradit. as to the defeat of testamenta. benefact. to the s. by Sir William,
may be read in Morse, who would make up for such injustice, by
giv. to his s. Jeddediah near ten yrs. longer life than belong. to him.
Such is the tendency to magnify old age. * SAMUEL, Charlestown, s. of
Solomon of the same, taught the gr.sch. m. 8 Aug. 1676, Mary Phillips,
d. of Henry, wh. d. early; and by sec. w. Catharine had Samuel, bapt.
21 May 1682, d. soon; and Samuel, again, 10 Feb. 1684; was rep.
1692, at the first sess. under new chart. Reg. of deeds, and Clk. of the
County, and d. at the age of 70, Aug. 1725. Very strange seems the error
of Farmer, in his Memoir of Grad. of H. C. making Gov. Danforth's
d. Mary his w. when she belong. to his br. Solomon. SOLOMON, Charlestown
1641, carpenter, was adm. of the ch. 15 Jan. and freem. 18 May 1642,
by w. Eliz. had Eliz. b. 23 Apr. 1643; Solomon; Samuel, H. C.
1671, bef. ment.; Mehitable, wh. d. 15 July 1657; Mehitable, again, 10
Dec. 1657; and Mehitable, again, 6 June 1659, if my transcrip. of rec.
be right; Joseph, bapt. 13 Oct. 1661; and perhaps others; d. 25 July
1671, aged 52. His will of 4 May 1670 makes w. Eliz. extrix, provides
for the s. Samuel at coll. Solomon, and Joseph, beside d. Eliz. Ray
and her ch. d. Mary, mean. perhaps Solomon's w. and her ch. yet unb.
The wid. d. 1 Nov. 1688. SOLOMON, Charlestown, s. of the preced. m.
Mary, d. of Dept. Gov. Thomas Danforth, and they join, the ch. 3 Apr.
1670, was freem. 11 May foll. had Mary, b. 3 July 1670; Solomon, 10
Jan. 1675; Thomas, 22 Nov. 1676, H. C. 1695, I think (tho. Farmer
gave him to Samuel, as he had also his mo.); Elizabeth 27 Feb. 1681; Jonathan,
7 Jan. 1683; Elizabeth again, 5 Jan. 1684; and it is observ. that this
fam. used pp. in its name punctiliously, while single p. served for the
Gov. He d. suddenly, tho. I see not the date. Opposite cause may be
read in Morse, 195, who makes the Bapt. regard it as a judgm. upon him
for purch. ld. taken from one of their commun. for paym. of a fine; but
Phipps hims. said "he was bewitched," and his opin. is equally to be respected
in our days. ‡� WILLIAM, Boston, s. of James, b. says his panegyrist,
