    REVELL, JOHN, Salem, a merch. of London, greatly engag. in the
promot. of settlem. of Mass. Bay, by the Gov. and Comp. chos. an
Assist. 20 Oct. 1629, came in the Jewell, one of Winthrop's fleet, June
1630, but went home next mo. in the Lion. THOMAS, New London 1658,
a merch. from London at Barbadoes 1660, but liv. there 1662-66. Miss
Caulkins thinks he was proscribed at the restorat. having stood for the
