at Mendon 1690. Yet there is, in my opin. very slight reason for think,
the s. of William of Hingham to be the counsellor. Judge Mitchell
refers to the will of the Hingham, man, of 1683, as it ment. his ch. John,
William, Ebenezer, Elizabeth, Hannah, Milicent, and Persis. JOHN, Malden,
eldest s. of John of the same, by w. Elizabeth had John, b. 23 July
1685; Abiah, 21 Aug. 1687; Mary, 27 Nov. 1689; was freem. 1690;
and he d. June 1692. JONATHAN, Weymouth, s. of William of Hingham,
by w. Elizabeth had Elizabeth b. 21 July 1670; rem. to R. I. by fam. tradit.
and may be the same, wh. at Providence had preach. in the early part of
18th centu. was town clk. in 1722, and perhaps d. at Smithfield, Jan.
1741, aged 92. JONATHAN, Malden, s. of the first John of the same, by
w. Mary had Richard, b. 28 June 1686; John, 7 May 1689; Joseph, 24
Oct. 1691; Nathan, 2 Feb. 1694; Hannah, and Mary, tw. 25 May
1696; David, 15 Aug. 1698; and was freem. 1690. PHINEAS, Malden,
youngest s. of Ralph, freem. 1690, m. 11 Dec. 1661, Mary Carrington,
perhaps d. of Edward, wh. brot. him no ch. and d. 7 Dec. 1667; but by
sec. w. m. 5 Jan. 1670, Sarah Hasey, perhaps d. of William had
Phineas, b. 27 Dec. foll. William, 21 Nov. 1672; Ralph, Nov. 1674;
Sarah, 23 Apr. 1686; Joanna, 17 Apr. 1688; and Abigail, 2 Mar.
1690. But my suspicion is strong, that the three last belong to the other
man of the same, name in that town. He took the o. of fidel. 15 Dec.
1674, and was rep. 1689 and 90. PHINEAS, Malden, prob. s. of the first
John, by w. Elizabeth had Elizabeth b. 11 Oct. 1691; Mary, 15 Oct. 1693; Tabitha,
19 Oct. 1696; and I find nothing more of him * ║ RALPH,
Charlestown 1629, came prob. with w. Joan, and s. John and Richard,
that yr. in the fleet with Higginson, certain. with brs. Richard, and prob.
William. They were s. of Edward prob. of Upway in Devonshire.
Sometimes it has been thot. that these gent. were passeng. in 1628, with
Endicott, but to me it seems more likely that, as they came, paying their
own charges, they were in the fleet of 1629. With Endicott, in the
Abigail, beside his fam. and serv. there not, I suppose, over twenty,
includ. men, women, and ch. and most of them sent by the adventurers
in London, as the first sh. for the planta. would naturally be occup. in
transport. of persons wh. they should wholly control. The much larger
exped. aft. gr. of the chart. 1629 had, also wider views of policy, and
in obedience to the direct. of the officers of the comp. at home the
Spragues, wh. came at their own charge, were sent by Endicott to take
up the lands in C. but we kn. that the compiler of the Charlestown rec.
threw back his narra. of early transact. by one yr. mak. Winthrop and the
gr. body of our early sett. come in 1629. As the Spragues came one
yr. bef. Winth. Mr. Green, the compiler of that MS. compliment. by
Prince and most of us as the first rec. of C. natural. gave them the
