Pres. in June 1644, and more unfortun. in deserv. the disgrace, yet
thot. worthy to have his degr. of A. B. next yr. This strange event is
told by Winthrop II. 166, without giv. names, wh. are found in the very
valua. Hist. of Newbury, by Coffin, 41. His assoc. in the infamy of the
juvenile offence, was a s. of Rev. Thomas Welde. He went home, soon
aft. prob. with his f. wh. procur. favor for him at Oxford, where he was
in 1648, made a fellow of Magdalen, and had a master's degr. and in
1649, an M. D. JOHN, Ipswich, physician, had perhaps liv. in Boston,
for a mortg. to him of est. rec. here Vol. X. 233, titles him now of Ipswich,
chirurg. and the date is 9 Oct. 1652. His Excor. Robert Paine
sold, Dec. 1677, the Boston est. to William Hudson. He perhaps resid.
at Hampton 1640, some time at Salem,, was cous. of Rev. John, and that
benefact. of Harv. Coll. ment. by Pierce, 35; also, I presume, the freem.
of 1643; in his will of 28 Dec. 1652, pro. on new. yrs. day, 25 Mar.
1656, speaks of no. w. or ch. [See abstr. in Essex Inst. I. 50.] His
benefaction to Harv. Coll. was realiz. in 1658, as the invaluab. History,
by Quincy, shows us: "obtained in horses L72." See I. 513 of that
work. JOHN, Haverhill, elder br. of James, b. at Haverhill in Co.
Suffk. 5 Nov. 1606, as Mather tells, III. cap. 31, or p. 167 in the London
ed. of Magn. Yet "where his educ. was, I have not been inform."
he says, "the first notice of him that occurs to me, being in the yr.
1639, when he came over into these parts." In Eng. I found that he
was matric. at Emanuel, 1622, and had his A. B. 1626, and A. M. 1630.
He had begun his serv. in Eng. "at a very small place" wh. was Hadleigh
in Co. Suffk. and in this country, preach. first at Kittery or York
in 1641, as Winthrop II. 29 relates, but Mather, wh. loves always to be
indefinite, and sometimes hides his ignorance under periphrasis, would
magnify his watch over the flock at H. to "as many yrs. as there are
sabbaths in the yr." We kn. that he was chos. and ord. in Oct. 1645,
when the ch. was gather. Winthrop II. 252; and that flock he could, of
course, serve but 48 yrs. He d. 27 Dec. 1693; and could the truth
ever be sufficient for the author of the Magnalia, he might have call. it a
very honor. and protract. course of duty. On 19 Nov. preced. he preach.
an excell. sermon, enter. the 88th yr. of his age, "the only sermon that
ever was. or perhaps ever will be preach. in this country, at such an
age," adds the eclesiast. historian, tho. since that day sev. more aged
pastors have in like kind, obey. their call. He was prob. the freem. of 3
May 1649, By his w. Alice Edmunds. brot. from Eng. wh. d. bef. him,
he had Elizabeth b. 7 Apr. 1647, wh. m. 1665 Nathaniel Saltonstall, and d.
29 Apr. 1714; and Mary, 24 June 1649, m. e June 1672, Rev. Benjamin
Woodbridge, and d. 11 Oct. 1680. JOHN, Newton, s. prob. eldest
of William of Sudbury, b. in Eng. a. 1626, m. a 1650, Hannah, d. of
