IV. JOSEPH (28), b. about 1740, son of Joseph Atwell (10); m. 8 Feb., 1769, Lucretia, his second cousin, b. 19 Nov., 1749, daughter of Samuel Atwell and Mary . He settled in Montville on Dolbeare Hill. Was a farmer. He died about 1800. His wife survived, him, and died 26 Oct., 1851, aged 102 years nearly. The day after she had completed her century of years, a party of neighbors and friends made her a donation visit, carrying with them provisions for several days' supply, and spreading a bountiful table, at which she sat with her guests, and partook of a thanksgiving dinner. In the center of the table was placed a pie, designed to be as much beyond the common size as she was older than the common age of her sex. The aged mother enjoyed the feast like one that had renewed their youth, declaring with' animation that though she had lived a hundred years, and had seen a vast number of things, she had never before seen so large a mince pie, nor so many kind friends together. The aged pilgrim had always led a quiet country life, living in a plain and frugal manner, and devoting her days and years to simple household duties. She was esteemed by her neighbors for her kindness, and thankful spirit for kind returns, possessing a Christian hope of immortal life.
At this time a stranger would have estimated her age as about eighty-five. Her motions were quick, her replies to questions prompt and intelligent, her memory retentive, and showed large observation of incidents and narratives. Being questioned by one of her visitors in regard to the French war, which terminated in 1763, she spoke of it as a thing of but yesterday. She had a vivid recollection ofthe coming home of her friends and neighbors from campaigns in the war, and particularly of the return of her uncle, Benjamin Atwell, who had been absent a long time, "soldering agin the French in Canada." For the last fifty years of her life, she and her daughter, Nancy Thompson, had lived together in the old house, where she first went to housekeeping, and where she died. | Atwell Joseph

I. CHRISTOPHER AVERY, the emigrant ancestor and progenitor of the Avery family, was born in England about 1590. He was a weaver by trade, and came to this country and located at Gloucester, Mass., where he was selectman in 1646, 1652 and 1654. At a court in Salem he took the freeman's oath, June 29, 1692, and was chosen clerk of the band, constable, and clerk of the market. His wife did not come to this country. In 1658 he sold lands at Gloucester and removed to Boston, where on the 16th of March, 1658-9 he purchased land, a small lot, about twenty-six by forty-six feet. It was located in what is now the centre of the post-office building, facing on Devonshire street. The famous old spring, which gave the name to Spring Lane and which is now preserved under the post-office, was near. ThisAvery plot was a part of, or at least adjoined, the site of two notable resorts of later days the well known restaurant whence first came the famous "Julien soup," and the "Stackpole House," not much less famous. The Winthrop estate was not far away, and near by, in after years, Benjamin Franklin was born. Christopher Avery did not long retain this property, for March 22, 1663, he sold land to Ambrose Dew, for forty pounds. There had evidently been no increase of value in the five years that he had held possession. After being owned by two or three different persons, it was bought by Mr. Stackpole about 1790. Christopher Avery now followed his son James to Connecticut, and August 8, 1665, purchased a house, orchard and lot of Robert Burrows in New London. Here he claimed exemption from watching and training, on account of age, in June, 1667, and was made freeman of the colony October, 1669. He died March 12, 1670, by Minor diary.

2. Capt. James Avery, the only child of Christopher, was born in 1620. Came to America with his father, and lived at Gloucester for several years. The Rev. Mr. Blinman, who had been the minister of Gloucester for eight years, was engaged to become the minister of the Pequot Plantation. A party of his friends proposed to move with him, and came on to make preparatory arrangements, Oct. 19, 1650. It appears that James Avery went back to Gloucester, sold his possession there to his father, and in 1651 returned to New London. In March of that year the principal body of these eastern families arrived. Capt. James acquired large tracts of land at what is now Poquonoc Bridge, Groton, east of New London. About 1636 he built the hive of the Avery's at the head of Poquonoc Plain, a mile and a half from the river Thames. In 1684, the old Blinman edifice, first church of New London, the unadorned church and water-tower of the wilderness, which had stood for thirty years, was sold to Capt. Avery for six pounds, with the condition that he should remove it in one month's time. According to tradition, the church was taken down, its materials carried across the river, and added to the house he hadalready built at Poquonoc. In spite of this analytic and synthetic process, the ancient dwelling seemed to have retained some of its sacred character, for a century later it was occupied until July 21, 1894, when a spark from a passing locomotive ignited its well-seasoned frame, and in a short time only the ancient chimney remained to mark the spot of this historic house of Eastern Connecticut. Afew years later the chimney was taken down, the grounds graded, and a tasteful monument was erected by the descendants of James Avery. He was ensign, lieutenant and captain of the New London companies and served throughout King Philip's war in command of forty Indians from Stonington, New London and Lyme. In 1676 he was captain of one of the four companies which protected the frontier, and for twenty-three years an officer of the town, and twelve times deputy to the General Court, 1656-80; also assisting judge in the Prerogative Court, and was most prominent in matters relating to the church,as references to him in such connections are numerous. He m. 1st, Nov. 10, 1643, Joanna Greenslade, b. about 1622 ; she d. after 1693. He m. 2nd, Mrs. Abigail (Ingraham) Chesebrough, widow of Joshua Holmes, July 4, 1698, (No. 2) Holmes family. He d. April 18, 1700. His widow was living at late as 1714.
The reference is to Lucretia, relict of Jonathan Brewster, (mother- in-law to Mr. Hill,) but no record of her death is to be found. James Avery in 1685 gives a deed to his four sons, of the house, orchard and land, "which belonged, (he says) to my deceased father Christopher Avery."
No other son but James, has been traced. It may be conjectured that this family came from Salisbury, England, as a Christopher Avery of that place, had wife Mary buried in 159 1.3
James Avery and Joanna Greenslade were married, Nov. 10th, 1643. This is recorded in Gloucester. The records of Boston church have the following entry. "
"17 of 1 mo. 1644. Our sister Joan Greenslade, now the wife of one James Averill had granted hr by the church's silence, letters of recommendation to the Ch. at Gloster."
The births of three children are recorded at Gloucester ; these are repeated at New London, and the others registered from time to time. The whole list is as follows.
Hannah, born Oct. 12th, 1644.

James Avery was sixty-two years old in 1682 ; of course born on the other side of the ocean about 1620. At New London he took an important part in the affairs of the plantation. He was chosen townsmen in 1660 and held the office twenty-three years, ending with 1680. He was successively, ensign, lieutenant and captain of the only company of train-bands in the town, and was in active service through Philip's War. He was twelve times deputy to the General Court, between 1658 and 1680, and was in the commission of the peace, and sat as assistant judge in the county court. He removed to Pequonuck,east of the river, between 1660 and 1670, where both he and his wife were living in 1693. Deeds of lands to his sons, including the homestead farm, in Feb., 16934, probably indicate the near approach of death. His sons Jonathan and Christopher died young, and probably without issue. The descendants of James, Jr., Thomas, John, and Samuel, are very numerous, and may be regarded as four distinct streams of life. Groton is the principal hive of the family. '
AVERY FAMILIES.
The first of the name was Christopher Avery, who first appears in Gloucester, Mass., between 1646 and 1654, and at New London in 1665. In October, 1669, made freeman of the colony. He died at New London, but no date of his death is to be found. He must have been quite an old man, and born in the latter part of the sixteenth century. James, his son, in 1685, gives a deed to his four sons of the house, orchard, and land, "which," he says, "belonged to my deceased father, Christopher Avery."
This James Avery is the only son that can be traced. He married 10 Nov., 1643, Joanna Grcenslade, the record of which marriage is found recorded in Gloucester, Mass. Three or more of his children w?re born in Gloucester, and the remainder probably at Now London. At New London he took an active part in the affairs of the plantation. In 1660 he was chosen selectman, and held the offieo twenty-threeyears. He was successively ensign, lieutenant, and captain of the only train-band in the town, and was in activo service through King Philip's War. He was twelve times. deputy of the general court. His descendants have been very numerous, very many of them have been persons of distinction, filling position of honor in the church and state. It is not ascertained at what date he died, but deeds of Iands to his sons, including the homestead in February, 1693-4,.may indicate his near approach to death.

Michael Bacon. d. 1648. Was one of the very small number of the early settlers who came from Ireland. The Irish immigration increased at a later date. He is said to have been born in England and to have gone to the north of Ireland about seven years before his emigration to America. He brought wife and children with him and settled at Dedham in 1640. He signed the church covenant at Dedham. His wife, Alice, was admitted to the church Sept. 17, 1641, and died April 2, 1648. Michael died April 18, 1648. He had children : Michael, Daniel, John, Sarah and Alice, who married at Dedham March 31, 1647, Lieut. Thomas Bancroft.* She died at Dedham March 29, 1648.
Bacon is the name of an ancient seigniory in Normandy and from this place the Norman ancestors in England took their name, nearly a thousand years ago. According to the genealogy of the great Suffolkfamily of Bacon, one GrimaM or Grimaldus, a relative of the Norman chieftain. William de Warenne, came to England at the time of the Conquest and settled near Holt in Suffolk. His great-grandson tookthe name Bacon, or rather resumed the use of the place-name as a surname. In the north of France the surname Bacon is still in use. William Bacon in 1082 endowed the Abbey of Holy Trinity at Caen. The surname Bacon is found in the Battle Rolls in England in the eleventh century and in the Hundred Rolls in the thirteenth. There are occasional variations in spelling, such as Bacun and Bachun, and in some instances the surname Bacon may have been corrupted from Beacon. From their connection with Baveux the Bacons were sometimes Latinized De Bajocis. Sir William Bacon of the knights bearing banners in the reign of Philip III in France, bore armsa beech tree.
Grimaldus, mentioned above, had three sons: 1. Radulph. 2. Edmund, took the name of his abode for his surname. 3. Ranulph or Ralph was known as Ralph de Bacons-thorp (thorp means village) ; his son Roger de Bacons- thorp was father of Robert Bacon who assumed the name without the particle implying location, and the name has continued in various lines of descent. George, son of Ralph de Baconsthorp, was father of Roger Bacon who released to his sister Agnes lands belonging to the family in Normandy, and from him for many generations descended the Bacons of Drinkstone and Hessett in county Suffolk. The lineage to Nathaniel Bacon, of Virginia, the famous "Rebel" of early colonial days, has been traced. Michael Bacon, the immigrant ancestor of most of the Massachusetts families, was born in Suffolk, removing to Ireland and thence to Dedham, Massachusetts. The Bacon family at Hessett bears these arms : Argent on a fesse engrailed between three escutcheons gules, three millets or. Richard Bacon (7), whose lineage is Reginald (6), Robert (5), Roger (4), George (3), Ralph (2), Grimaldus (1), was the first to bear the arms of his family : Gules of a chief argent two mullets sable.
The original seat of the family was in Suffolk near Ipswich, perhaps Barham, but families of importance of this name have lived and been numerous in Durham, Hampshire, Norfolk, Somerset, York, and other counties. George Bacon, Esq.. of Nottingham family, living at Sutton Bomington, had arms : Vert a cross engraved ermine a chief argent thereon a ducal coronet gules between three millets sable. Cresta mount vert thereon a boar argent bristled and tusked or semee of mullets sable in the mouth a ragged staff vert. Motto: Mediocria firma.
(I) Michael Bacon, immigrant ancestor mentioned above, was born about 1575, probably in county Suffolk, England. He went from England to the north of Ireland in 1633 and seven years later came to NewEngland with Samuel Cooke and John Smyth, also from the province of Ulster, Ireland. They were proposed as proprietors of the town of Dedham, Massachusetts, May 23, 1640, and the records show that itwas "agreed upon that the Towne of Dedham shall entertain Mr. Saml. Cooke, together with his estate and also Mr. Smith and Mr. Bacon all from Ireland, and afford to them such accomodation of upland meadow as their estates shall require." From a record made the next month it would appear that the wife of Bacon preceded him. He signed the famous Dedham church covenant. His wife was admitted to the church September 17, 1641. She died April 2, 1648. In 1644 he gave of his land to the town for one of the highways (See page 364, Gen. Reg. 1902). He died April 18. 1648, the same month as his wife. His will was dated four days earner and it mentions all his children except Alice, who died the month previous. The inventory was dated April 20, 1649, and the estate amounted to nearly fifty-five pounds.
Some writers state that William Bacon, of Salem, was a brother ; he also was an Englishman born, who lived in Ireland in Dublin in 1639; his wife Rebecca was sister of Humphrey Potter, who was slain in a massacre in Ireland, and daughter of Thomas Potter, some time mayor of Coventry, England. Children of Michael Bacon: 1. Michael, Jr., born in England in 1608, mentioned below. 2. Daniel, of Woburn in 1640; of Bridgewater 1664; of Cambridge Village or Newton 1669; admitted a freeman May 26, 1647. 3. John, admitted a freeman at Dedham, 1647 ; died June 17, 1683. 4. Alice, married, March 31, 1647, Thomas Bancroft, who died March 24, 1648; she died March 29, 1648. 5. Sarah, married, April 14, 1648, Anthony Hubbard. of Dedham ; died 1652.
MICHAEL BACON AND HIS DESCENDANTS.
By Leon Bbooks Bacon, LL.B., of New York City.
1. MICHAEL1 Bacon, born probably in County Suffolk, England, came to America in 1640, and was one of the early settlers of Dedham, Mass. Tradition says he held the office of captain of a company of yeomanry in County Suffolk.* According to Brown's History of Bedford, Mass, (appendix, page 2), he went from England to the North of Ireland about 1633, seven years previous to his coming to New England. The following is taken from "Dedham Records, Town and Selectmen," \rol. III., page 68: [26 May, 1640.] "Agreed upon that the Towne of Dedham shall euterteyne mr Samuell Cooke together wth his estate And also mr Smith & mr Bacon all from Ireland & afford to them such accomodacons of vpland & medowe as their estates shall Requier."
From a record made the following month (ibid, page 69), it would appear that the wife of Mr. Bacon preceded him in Dedham. He was one of the signers of the church covenant of Dedham. In 1644, he granted land to the town for one of the highways. His wife Alice died April 2, 1648, and he died the same month, April 18, 1648. His will, dated April 14, 1648, mentions all his children, except Alice, who died the previous month. Inventory, April 20, 1649, amounted to £54. 15. 04. (See RegIster, Vol. 7, pages 230-1.)
His children, born probably in England, were :
2. i. MICHAEL2; Charlestown, 1640, Woburn, 1641, Blllerica, about 1678; d. July 4, 1688.
3. ii. Daniel; Woburu, 1640, Bridgewater, 1664, Cambridge Village (now Newton), about 1669; freeman, May 26, 1647; d. Sept. 7, 1691.

Describes Nagasaki
Letters from Pfc Dallas Bailey to his wife, the former Achsa Kinney of this city, now in Winc hester Indiana and from her brother S2C Donald Kinney, son of Mrs W. A. Kinney, south Union S treet, appeared in a recent issue of the Winchester paper describing their stations. Pfc Bail ey is stationed in Nagasaki, the first Japanese city to be hit by the atomic bomb, and seama n Kinney is on Guam. PfcBailey said in part:
"We are now about two miles from where the atomic bomb was dropped. Of course, one cannot ent er that area and it cannot be cleaned out. The stench at night is sickening, rotting bodies , burning buildings and animals, all together. A few bodies have floated down the river, bloa ted beyond all description. I don't believe these people thought there were as many ships an d trucks in the world as they have seen since Sunday. Although poor, they seem amazed at th e treatment they are getting.They are very willing to work and some of them are very strong d espite the fact that most of them are less than 5 feet in height."
Note: Dallas received his promotion to Corporal 22Sept 45, so this would have been written be fore then.

Fortunatus Barnes, the first of the name here, was a descendant of Thomas Barnes, who came over in ______________________________ she became his wife a year later. The records do not say whether theymade love on the way. The line of descent is through John and Jonathan to Fortunatus, great grandson of Thomas. (A sister of Fortunatus m. Solomon Bowker, who once owned the Joseph Priest place.) Tradition holds that Mr. Barnes held a claim on our Phineas Howe estate, on which cattle were kept and fed in racks on "Rack meadow." (He bought eighty acres of the Howe farm, eighty acres of the Lancaster proprietors and 119 acres of John Hudson, and some more of John Fry.) This extensive ownership determined the name of "Barnes hill." South of the present homestead was an old house occupied by the Goodnows. Daniel Goodnow's tax was abated in 1787. Further on up the hill lived a Dafford family and also a Foster family. John Hudson was on top of the hill ( he was grandfather of Hon. Charles Hudson). The Barnes purchase included the most of these. "Barnes hill" gives a view of Wachusett seldom equaled. The centennial of the homestead was impressively observed in 1866. A generous collation was prepared by the family under the beautiful arbor of maples which adorn the home and the town. Hon. Charles Hudson made an interesting address. Many sentiments were offered and responded to by citizensand guests. These maples were planted by Artemas Barnes.
(IV) Fortunatus. third child and son of Jonathan and Rachel Barnes, was born in Marlboro. September 25, 17.18. When a young man he went to reside in Berlin, Massachusetts, settling in the locality which has ever since been known as Barnes Hill, and was a prosperous farmer of that town during the remainder of his life, which terminated November 9, 1807. For his first wife he married Persis Hosmer,of Concord. Massachusetts, born April 19. 1739, and his second wife was Peletiah Jones. She survived him and died September 16, 1821. His children, all of his first union, were: David, born August 27, 1765; Lydia, born July 20, 1767, became the wife of Amherst Bailey; Hannah, born June 20, 1770. married Ephraim Howe; and Captain William, who is referred to at length in the succeeding paragraph. | Barnes Fortunatus

(II) Deacon John, third child and second son of Thomas, senior, and Abigail (Goodnow) Barnes, was born in Marlboro, December 25, 1666. He was a lifelong resident of Marlboro and participated activelyin the early religious progress of that locality, having served as a deacon of the church during the pastorate of the Rev. Mr. Beck. His death occurred April 5. 1752. The maiden name of his wife was Hannah Howe, and she died November 8, 1742, aged sixty-six years. Their children were: Abigail, born October 5, 1695, married Joseph Morse ; Dorothy, born March 24, 1698, married James Woods ; Daniel,born April 2, 1701, married Zerumiah Eager; Jonathan, who will be again referred to; David, born June 24, 1708, died May 9, 1720; Hannah, born February 17, 1712, became the wife of Andrew Rice ; and John, born March 23, 1716, married Elizabeth Cranston. | Barnes John

(III) Jonathan, fourth child and second son of Deacon John and Hannah (Howe) Barnes, was born in Marlboro, November 26, 1703. He attained the ripe old age of nearly eighty years, and died in Marlboro. October 10, 1783. The Christian name of his wife, whom he married prior to 1735, was Rachel, and she survived her husband but a short time, her death having occurred January 20, 1784. She was the mother of nine children : Silas, born January 21, 1735, married Betty Bigclow : Elisha, born October 28, 1736, died June 7, 1740; Fortunatus. the date of whose birth will be recorded presently; Rachel, born July 13, 1740. became the wife of John Warren, Jr. ; Lucy, born July 7, 1742, married Joseph Hosmer ; Dorothy, born December 18, 1747. became the wife of Solomon Bmvker; Jonathan, born November 6, 1749, died August 5. 1785; David, born September 21, 1751, died January 28, 7756: and William, born March 21, 1753, married Sarah Merriam. | Barnes Jonathan

For considerable more than two hundred and fifty years the name of Barnes has existed as a patronymic in America, taking root in New England early in the Colonial period and gradually distributing itself throughout the entire country. It is to be found in the Revolutionary rolls, also in those of the second war with Great Britain (1812-15) and in the more recent civil strife, which for a time threatened to divide the Union into two integral parts. In civil life several of this name have won distinction as clergymen and writers. All of its bearers are of English descent and the origin of the name in the mother country is enveloped within the impenetrable mists of antiquity. The line of descent, on this side of the ocean, of the late Captain William M. Barnes, of Nashua, is as follows:
(I) Among the passengers in the "Speedwell," which arrived at Boston from England in May, 1636, was Thomas Barnes, an honest, industrious yeoman, a non-conformist and, above all, a young man of sufficient courage and energy to render excellent service in transplanting European civilization into the western hemisphere. His whereabouts for a number of years subsequent to his landing has not as yet come to light, but the records of Marlboro show conclusively that he was one of the early settlers in that town, as he purchased real estate there at least three years prior to its incorporation (1666), and he resided there for the remainder of his life, which terminated in 1679. He married Abigail Goodnow, daughter of Thomas Goodnow. of Sudbury, who became one of the original proprietors of Marlboro, and it is quite probable that 'Thomas Barnes went there from Sudbury, as did most of its pioneer settlers. He was the father of six children : Thomas, Dorothy, John, William, Abigail and Susanna. | Barnes Thomas

(II) Ensign Daniel Bartlett, son of Henry Bartlett (1), was born in Marlboro, Massachusetts, April 10, 1691. He died there May 1, 1764. Most if not all the descendants of Henry Bartlett, the immigrant, are also descended through his son, Daniel Bartlett. He settled in Marlboro and had a large family, eight or more of his sons and daughters settling in Worcester county and raising families there. Daniel was ensign in the Marlboro company. He died May, 1764. He was a prominent man in the town of Marlboro. He married there, February 12, 1/17, Martha How, the daughter of Elcazer and Hannah (How) How, of whom a sketch appears elsewhere in this work.
The children of Ensign Daniel and Martha (How) Bartlett were: Jotham, born in Marlboro, April 5. 1717, settled in Westboro, married Miriam How; Sarah. June 30, 1718, settled at Rutland, married (intentions dated at Rutland November 10, 1750), Daniel Saunders; Damel, September 28, 1719, settled at Rutland and has many descendants thereabouts; wife Mary died at Rutland, June 12, 1825, aged ninety-five years, the oldest person in the town; he died there December 17, 1801, aged eighty-three years; Joseph, November 24, 1720, settled at Westboro, married (intentions at Westboro May 24, 1745) at Shrewsbury, February 5, 1745; Abigail, October 30, 1721, married, August 25, 1756, at Marlboro; Abraham, September 21, 1722, died February 11, 1723; John, November 25, 1724, of whom later; Jonathan, January 26, 1725, married, 1753, Mary Holloway, settled at Northboro, and Westboro; Isaac, March 6, 1725, married Martha , settled at Rutland: Abner (twin), March 12, 1728; Mary (twin), March 12, 1728, died young; Jonas, March 31, 1729, married Elizabeth and settled at Marlboro; Mercy, May 31. 1730, married, June 13, 1765.

BARTLETT FAMILY. Henry Bartlett (1), the immigrant ancestor of the Bartlett family of Leominster, Massachusetts, was born in England about 1660. He settled in Marlboro, Massachusetts, after King Philip's war, in that part of the town subsequently set off as Northboro. The original homestead was owned lately by William A. Bartlett, of Northboro. From Henry Bartlett came, not only the family of Leominster under consideration, but nearly all of this name in Westboro, Southboro, Sterling, Princeton, Rutland and Northboro, as will be indicated in this sketch. The Brookt'1eld Bartletts are descended mainly from John Bartlett, the pioneer at Windsor, Connecticut. An important branch of the Bartlett family in Worcester is descended from the immigrant, John Bartlett, of Weymouth, Massachusetts, and Cumberland, Rhode Island. Savage is the authority for the service of Henry Bartlett in' King Philip's war under the brave Captain Johnson. Bartlett was probably at Braintree for a short time. The children of Henry and Mary Bartlett, all born at Marlboro, were: Elizabeth, February 27, 1686, married, December 9, 1710, John Prentice; Daniel, April 10, 1691, of whom later; Mary, October 20, 1693; Henry, October 22, 1696, died 1699; Henry and Martha (twins), August 29, 1701; Lydia, August 17, 1704, died December 15, 1722. | Bartlett Henry

Their children: Edith, baptized September16, 1564; Robert, see forward; David, baptized October 13, 1568; Maria, baptized January 13, 1672 died young; Joan, baptized November 12. 1574; Richard, baptized February 5, 1577; Alice, baptized June 7. 1579; Agnes, baptized February 27, 1582. | Bent John

Martha, the youngest child of John Bent, married in 1663 Samuel Howe. Her son, David, was first proprietor of the Red Horse Tavern at Sudbury. David Howe's son, Ezekiel, grandson,. Adam, and great-grandson, Lyman, (died 1861), were successive proprietors of this old tavern, which was made famous by Longfellow under the name of "The Wayside Inn." It was Lyman. Howe to whom Longfellow's poem refersas
A man of ancient pedigree,
A Justice of the Peace was be,
Known in all Sudbury as " The Squire."
Martha Bent (John) was born in Sudbury, Mass., about 1643, and died Aug. 29, 1680; married, June 5 1663, Samuel How, carpenter, born Oct. 20, 1642, son of John How, one of the first settlers of Sudbury. John afterward moved to Marlboro, where he opened the first public house in the place, but Samuel remained in Sudbury, where he died, April 13, 1713. He married again, Sept. 18, 1685, Mrs. Sarah (Leavitt) Clapp, widow of Nehemiah Clapp of Hingham. David, the youngest son by the first marriage, was the first proprietor of Red Horse Tavern, the "Wayside Inn" made famous by Longfellow. The old hostelry is in the southwest corner of the town, near the boundaries of both Marlboro and Framingham, and was probably built about 1702, though some think at an earlier date. The Hows were a race of tavern-keepers. John's grandson, Capt. Daniel Howe (1681-1768), was one of the first settlers of Shrewsbury, where he soon opened a teavern. In the Revolutionary days, when Capt. Cyprian Howe and MunningSawin kept rival inns in Marlboro, there was an old rhyme running like this:
"Uncle Cyp makes the flip
And munning makes the toddy, O."

Oct. 15, 1796), during the Revolutionary War colonel of the 4th Middlesex Militia. The latte was succeeded by his son Adam How (b. May 15, 1763; d. Dec. 10, 1840), and he in tuen by his son "Squire" Lyman Howe (b. Nov. 6, 1801),a bachelor, at whose death, in April, 1861, it passed out of the Howe name.

JOHN BAGULEY, or BIGELOW, as the name is now written, was baptized in England, Feb. 10, 1617 ; he came to Watertown early, where he m. Oct. 30, 1642, Mary Warren, also b. in England. She d. Oct. 19, 1691, and he m. 1694, Sarah Bemis. He d. July 14, 1703, aged 86. He was the ancestor of the numerous families of Bigelows in New England. He had 12 children 6 sons and 6 dau. The name is variously written in the Watertown records Bigulah, Biglo, and Biglow.
The Bigelows came to Marl, between 1690 and 1700, from Watertown. This family was early in the country, and may be traced to a remote period in England, even to the reign of Henry III., when the namewas written Baguley, and was derived from the place where they dwelt. Richard at that time was lord of Baguley, and his descendants took the name of the place. In the reign of Henry VII. Ralph de Baguley was lord of Ollerton Hall, and d. 1540, leaving Randall and Nicholas. Randall d. 1556, and his sons, Philip and Robert, divided his estate. Robert died 1582, leaving Randall and John, both of whom moved to Suffolk. Randall d. 1626, leaving two sons, Francis and John. Francis d. 1657, and gave by will a portion of his property to his brother John, then in New England.
BIGELOW FAMILY. John Bigelow (1), the common ancestor of the Worcester families of the same surname, was the progenitor of Mary Wood- bury Bigelow, who married Stephen Sawyer of Worcester.
John Bigelow is believed to have come from England, but the variations in spelling at the time of his emigration to New England make it difficult to trace this name, which was spelled according to the fancy of the writers. He was born in 1617 and came to America before 1642. The first mention of his name on the records is found in Water- town, Massachusetts, where, September 30, 1642, he married Mary, daughter of John and Margaret Warren, and said to have been born in England. She died October 19, 1691. He took the oath of fidelity at Watertown in 1652, and was made a freeman April 18, 1690. He was a blacksmith by trade, and was allowed certain timber for the building of his forge by the town. He was highway surveyor 1652 and 1660: constable 1663, and one of the selectmen 1665, 1670 and 1671. His homestead consisted of six acres. He married (second) October 2, 1694, Sarah, daughter of Joseph Bemis, of Watertown. (See Bemis). He died July 14, 1703, aged eighty-six. His will was dated January 4, 1703, and proved July 23, 1703. The children of John and Mary (Warren) Bigelow were: 1. John, born October 27, 1643, married Rebecca Olmstead, lived in Hartford, Connecticut. 2. Mary, born March 14. 1648. married. June 3, 1674, Michael Flagg. son of Thomas and Mary Flagg; he was born March 23. 1651, and died about 17n; she died before, as he married (second) Mary Earle. 4.

He was born October 5, 1655. They moved to Framingham. near the Sherborn line. He was selectman of Framingham in 17n. 9. James, married thrice, resided in Watertown. 10.

JOHN BIGELOW m. June 12, 1696, Jerusha Garfield, and settled in Marl. In 1705, being at Lancaster, at the garrison house of Mr. Thomas Sawyer, he was, with Mr. Sawyer and his son Elias, taken by the Indians, and conveyed to Canada. They obtained their release in the following manner. Both of them were ingenious mechanics Sawyer a blacksmith, and Bigelow a carpenter. While at Montreal, they proposed to the French Governor, that in case he would procure their ransom, they would erect for him a saw-mill, there being none at that time in Canada. The offer was readily accepted ; they fulfilled their engagement ; and after some delays, they were permitted to return to their friends. Mr. Bigelow, in token of his gratitude for his remarkable deliverance from captivity, called his daughter, bornafter his return, " Comfort,'" and a second, "Freedom," as expressive of the happiness and peace he then enjoyed, compared with what he suffered while a prisoner. He d. Sept. 8, 1769, aged 94 years, 4 mos. and 7 days. She d. Jan. 10, 1758. | Bigelow John

CONCERNING the ancestry of John Biglo, the progenitor of the Bigelows of this country, we are unable to get any satisfactory account, traditions are so numerous and conflicting that we can place no reliance upon any of them ; they would make our common ancestor a native of Wales, Scotland, Ireland and England, as well as a French Huguenot. The most common belief has been that we were of English descent, but a very careful and persistent search has failed to find the name of Biglo or Bigelow upon any public records in that country, various clues have been followed in Scotland and the North of Ireland, but all alike have been found to have no foundation. The English ancestry of the Bigelows, as written by the late H. G. Soinerby, several years ago (and who spent considerable time in searching English records), appears to have its basis upon records of the Beagely family found in. the Parish of Wrentham, County of Suffolk, and wills of the same family found in the Probate Court. From theparish register was taken the family of Randley Beagely and Jane his wife ; the youngest was recorded as follows, viz. : " 1616. John y" sonne of Randley Beagely & Jane his wife baptized February y* XVI." and this John he takes to be the John Biglo of Watertown. From the will of Francis Baguley of Wrentham, dated Oct. 20, 1656, he takes the following: u To his brother John Baguley, now living in New England, a certain sum of money, if he comes for it in person within two years," but he fails to show that Randley Beagely had a son Francis, or that Francis Baguley was any way related to John Beagely by the records.
From a recent letter of the present rector of Wrentham to Mr.. Poultney Bigelow of New York we learn that John Beagely was baptized Feb. 16, 1616, and was buried 1626, and his widow, Jane Beagely, was buried 1626, which would appear as though he was not baptized until nearly grown at least, and his birth could hardly correspond with that of our ancestor. Thus from the incomplete and conflicting records we are reluctantly compelled to abandon for a time any attempt to establish a line of ancestry for our early progenitor John Biglo. He probably had no brothers in this country, but we find one Elizabeth Bigelow, who married Dea. Richard Butler of Hartford, and from the name and dates we suppose her to be a sister of John Higlo. Richard Butler emigrated from Braintree, Essex Co., England, in1632, and settled first in Cambridge, Mass., was a member of Rev. Thomas Hooker's church, made a freeman 1634, and in 1635 he went with Rev. Mr. Hooker, Elder Stone and others to commence the settlement at Hartford. He was chosen deacon of the first church in that town, and was twice married, but we have no date of either marriage. A private record says that he had five children by his second wife, Elizabeth (Bigelow). The following is a partial list of his children by both marriages.
By first marriage:
MARY, ft. 1635; m. Samuel Wright; lived in Wethersfleld.
THOMAS, b. 1637; m. Sarah Stone.
SAMUEL, b. 1039; m. Mary Olmsted; lived in Wethersflcld.
NATHANIEL, b. 1641; m. Sarah ; lived in Wethersfleld.
By second marriage:
ELIZABETH, ft. 1643; m. Dea. Joseph Olmsted.
JOSEPH, ft. 1648; m. Mary Goodrich; lived in Wethersficld.
DANIEL, ft. ; m. Mabel Olmsted ; lived in Hartford.
HANNAH, ft. ; m. John Green of Fairfleld, Ct.
Dea. Richard Butler died in Hartford, Aug. 6, 1684 ; his widow, Elizabeth (Bigelow) Butler, died Sept. 11, 1691.
The first mention we find of John Biglo appears on the Water- town Town Records, where his marriage is the first marriage recorded in that town, viz.: "1642-30-8. John Bigulah and Mary Warin joyned in mariag before Mr. Nowell." She was the daughter of John and Margaret Warren and is said to have been born in England; she bore him thirteen (13) children and died Oct. 19, 1691. From the list of those who took the oath of fidelity at Watertown, 1652, we find that John Biggalough was one of the number and he became a freeman April 18, 1690, which we find from the roll of freemen written as John Bigolo; under the same date we find Samuel Begaloo was made a freeman, and by another list, dated May 16, 1690, we find Samuel Biggilo and John Warren, Jr., were made freemen. On the returns of soldiers who were in the service from Nov. 25 to Dec. 8, 1675, we find the names John Bigulah, Sr., Michaeli Flegg and Isaac Leonard, the last named being wounded. Thus we find the name variously spelled by different officials, but
when we find the name written by any member of the family in those early days it is written Biglo, Biglow, Bigelo or Bigelow. His trade appears to have been that of a blacksmith, as appears by the following taken from the town records: "Agreed wth John Biglo y' for ten trees the towue allowed him for the setting up a shop for a Smithes forge, y'1 he shall either goe on with y' his promise of setting up his trade, w'h is the trade of a Smith w'Mn one twelfmonth after the date hearof or else to pay unto the towne ten shillings for these ten trees he acknowledged to have off the townes." Dated March 4, 1651. He was chosen a Surveyor of Highways 1652 and 1660, a Constable 1663, and one of " the seven men " (t. e., Selectman) in 1665, '70, '71. His homestead consisted of six acres and was bounded north by Richard Ambler and William Parker, east by Thomas Straight, south by the highway, and on the west by Miles Ivιs. After the death of his wife Mary he married second, Oct. 2, 1694, Sarah Bemis, daughter of Joseph Bemis of Watertown. He died July 14, 1703, at the ripe old age of 86 years. His will, dated Jan. 4, 1703, was proved July 23, 1703, and is as follows :

BILLINGS, ARTHUR
DIES IN KANSAS CITY HOSPITAL
News was received Tuesday evening of the death at St. Mary's Hospital in Kansas City, that afternoon of Arthur Billings who was taken to that place last Thursday night where he planned to undergo an operation. He was taken sick about two weeks ago and his condition became such that it was decided that an operation was necessary. He left for Kansas City Thursday night with the intention of undergoing the ordeal but upon his arrival there the specialist pronounced his case in such condition that an operation would be of no avail.
Art was one of our most industrious young men, for the past several years being employed at the Ford Garage, and his death is keenly felt by his many friends.
The remains were returned to this place last night where burial will be made. At the time of going to press funeral arrangements have not been completed. (Transcribed by Judy Kinney from the collection of Clara Diercks Flinton, a life long resident of the Kensington, Kansas area.)
At the close of the year 1886, December 30, the home of Mr and Mrs. Daniel Billings was made happy by the arrival of their first born son, Arthur Edward Billings. Later, two other sons, Walter and Herbert, were welcomed to this home. The family grew up together in Kansas and Iowa.
After reaching manhood Arthur spent some time in the state of Washington. He later returned to Kansas and settled in Kensington where he accepted the position of mechanic in the Ford Garage. While inthis employment during the ministry of Bro McDonald , Arthur was received into the Church. It was also in Kansas that he met and won the heart of Miss Thistle Elizabeth Long to whom he was happily married May 16, 1918. Thus for a period of three years , ten months and twenty-five days they enjoyed each others companionship.
Arthur was taken ill about two week ago and was taken to Kansas City for an operation, however, when he arrived in Kansas City he was advised that an operation would be of no avail. After much intense suffering he quietly passed away in St. Mary's Hospital at 4:15 in the afternoon, April 11, 1922.
Arthur leaves two brothers, Walter and Herbert, one sister-in-law, Mrs. Walter Billings; three uncles, Joe, Will and Ed Billings and William Champeny and an aunt, Mrs. Susan Bride. The relatives of Mrs. Billings are her mother, Mrs. Long, two brothers Phil and Ray Long; uncle and aunt Mr. and Mrs Loren Fairbank of Hastings, Nebr., and Mrs. Mina Ward of Bloomington, Nebr.
He serves his country best
Who lives pure life and death righteous deed;
Who walks straight paths, however others stray,
And leaves his all and uppermost bequest
A stainless record which all men may read.
This is the better way.
No drop but serves the slowly lifting tide.
No dew but has an errand to some flower
No smallest star but sheds some helpful ray;
And man by man, each helping all the rest,
Makes the firm bulwark of the country's power.
There is no better way.
Funeral services were held at the Christian Church Friday afternoon at 2 p.m., conducted by Rev. Bowles. Interment was made in the Germantown Cemetery. (Transcribed by Judy Kinney from the collectionof her Great Aunt Clara Diercks Finton) | Billings Arthur Edward

Interesting how in the 1910 census her parents birthplaces are listed as Un. = Unown? (ADV 105/09).
She is listed as being born in South Dakota at 1910 Census but Ohio in the 1920 Census. Her parent are also listed in the 1920 census as both having been born in Ohio (ADV 10/5/09).
It looks like she was 24 in 1910 Census, 29 in 1920 Census and 44 in the 1930 census (ADV 10/5/09). | Bird Mary W.
