808 3. John Lambert, if his deposition in November, 1677, correctly states his age, was born about 1629. Like his father, he was a fisherman, but we find very few items to inform us of his doings. In theRecords of the Court of Assistants of Massachusetts Bay (vol. 1, p. 241), under date of Nov. 12, 1683, " William Johnson being presented by the Grand Jury was brought to the barr holding vp his hand at the barr was Indicted by the name of Willjam Johnston for that he not haueing the feare of God before his eyes but Instigated by the divil Confoederating himselfe wth one John Graham & other Sea Rouers his Accomplices did together with them sometimes in the month of June in this present yeare 1683 on the high sea & neere the Coast of (Can)ady wih force of Armes pirattically assault, seize & take seuerall vessels & the Companyes belonging to them i e a certain Catch belonging to the Port of Salem John Lambert master &c after the euidences produced agl him were read Comitted to the Jury the Jury brought in their virdict they found the prisoner Wm Johnson at the barr not guilty according to Indictment", &c.

He was administrator of Elias Wiett, lately deceased at sea, and brought in an inventory Nov. 27, 1666.

Essex deeds show that in or before 1660 his father-in- law, Edward Gaskill of Salem, ship-carpenter, had conveyed land to John Lambert of Salem, seaman, and Lambert conveyed a part to John Loomis Jan. 28,1660, and for .£25 conveyed back the remainder to Gaskill or Gaskoyne the same day, delivery to be made April 8 following, until which time he was " to stand ye adventure of said house in case ofany casualty by fire." Oct. 7, 1664, for " six quintals of marchantable dry codfish," he bought of John Ruck, vintner, part of Ruck's land at the back side of Lambert's lot. He also bought, Oct . 14,1690, of Thomas Maule, merchant, a tract of land in the South Field, about two acres.

His deposition in 1695 is interesting as illustrating the early method of giving physical possession of a piece of land, by plucking a twig and taking up a piece of turf, and, in some cases, by giving the door-latch to the grantee. " Deposition of John Lambert Senr & of Simon Willard both of full age that September 21 1695 wee were both defired by Mr John Ruck of Salem to goe with him & his sonn Thomas Ruck to the homestead of Jn° ALford as wee ufually caled it & there Mr Ruck Said this land has Indeed been in said Jn° Alfords pofsef ion indeed but sd he sd Alford neuer paid me for it nor I neuer gaue him a deed of it therefore sd Mr Ruck to vs bear witnefs that I doe giue this Land to my son Thomas Ruck by Turffe & Twigg & sd Mr Ruck did then Stoop downe and toake hold of a twigg in ye Garden of sd homestead & said here son Thomas I doe before thefe two men giue 3'ou pofesf ion of this Land by Turffe & Twigg & wee doe rememher it to be y* same clay that Mr Ruck gaue his sd Son Thomasan Instrument of sd Land," Acknowledged Dec. 27, 1698.

He married, probably in Salem, Preserved, baptized Aug. 7, 1639, daughter of Edward and Sarah Gaskoyne (or, as the name soon became, Gaskon, Gaskill, &c.). July 29, 1690, " Edward Gaskin Senr of Salem, being very sick and weake in consideration of fatherly love to son-in-law John Lambert in Salem, senior, [deeds] all my now dwelling house in Salem, money, plates, Jewells, rings, debts, household stuff, apparell, &c " and " In consideration of above written deed of gift I said John Lambert engage to maintaine my father and mother in law Edward and Sarah Gaskin during life and to bury them credibly."

He died about 1710, when, at his widow's request, administration was granted to his son Ebenezer, Mar. 10. The inventory was taken Apr. 14,1712, by Elizur Keysur and George Locke, and presented by Ebenezer Lambert, admr., amounting to £65:17:0. The " 3d Tuesday May 1715 Ebenezer Lambert adminr to Estate of John Lambert Late of Salem decd is Authorized to Sell Reall Estate to pay his Debts ", and on June 27, 1715, he sells, for j£50, to William Luscombe of Salem, the late homestead, formerly in possession of John Alford.

809 John Lambert Of Salem.

1. John Lambert of Salem, fisherman, had left his wife and a daughter in England, but had brought with him his son John, who, assuming his age to have been correctly stated in his deposition in 1677,was born about 1629. The only child, not recorded, so far as discovered, was his son John, mentioned in his grandfather's will in 1684 and executor of the will, therefore of full age at that time, and with a daughter Sarah, who receives a bequest from her great-grandfather. Also mentioned in the will is a grandchild Mary. It must be assumed that he had no other children than John and the daughterin England.

That he had vainly tried to get his wife and daughter across is proved by his being presented in the Quarterly Court, Jan. 26, 1668, as follows:—" John Lambert of Beverly, for living from his wife, was dismissed after satisfying the court that he had endeavored to send for her and expected her shortly." And again, June 27, 1671:—" John Lambert was presented for absence from his wife. The action was dismissed, he having used his utmost endeavors to have her come over to him." Nicholas Bartlett (who was of Kennebunk in 1651, and living in Salem in 1700) was in court, charged with breach of the peace, in striking John Lambert in April, 1665.

" Jo : Lambert and others petitioninge for libertie of fom lande to plant on moultons meferie their def ire is not granted," Oct . 8, 1663. Salem Toum Records.

The marriage of Elizabeth Lambert is found in the Salem Court Records, October, 1657, to William Cash, but it is not clear where she belongs in the family. Savage thinks she may have been a daughter of Richard's, and the name of the last child lends probability to this. They had children :—William, born Feb. 23,1668 ; John, born July 10, 1671, died about July 24, 1671 ; John (twin), born July 10,1672, died Aug. 26, 1674; Elizabeth, born July 10, 1672 (twin) ; Ann (twin), born April 29,1675; Mary (twin), born Apr. 29, 1675; Hester, born Mar. 9, 1679.

John Lambert of Salem was a signer of a petition against imposts in 1668, and in November, 1670, he testified upon oath that when he went away and left his house on a Friday morning, it was fast nailed up with a board against it, and when he returned, his window was open, in which. time William Barnes broke into his house at the window, as he confessed. Barnes was sentenced to be branded and to pay the charges. (Barnes was a servant of Paul Thorn- dike of Beverly.)

Walter Price of Salem, in his will, May 21, 1674, proved June, 1674, leaves to his son John " the now dwelling house of John Lambert in Salem, or the debt due to me from him." The deeds show that John Lambert, in 1667, bought a house of Nathaniel Masters, tay- lor, on the Basse River side, which district was set off to the town of Beverly the following year. In 1670 he bought five acres more of William Hoare in the same locality. In 1683 he gave his grandson, John, of Salem, his house and some land.

He died in 1684, between Nov. 14 and 25, and his wife and daughter were still living, so far as he knew, in England. His will, dated Nov. 14, 1684, proved Nov. 24, 1684, provides for the following bequests:—

"To my loving wife and to my daughter in old England ten pounds, to my fone John Lambert five shillings, to my grandfone John Lamberts Daughter Sarah one of my feather-beds and all the furniture there vnto belonging, to my grandchild mary Lambert one pewter platter & one poringer. All the rest of my perfonal eftate to my grandchild John Lambert whom I doe make full executor. I defire my two Loveing friends Samuel Corning fenr and John Bennet to be overfeers."

The inventory of the estate was made by Samuel Corning fen' and Joseph Morgan, Nov. 25, 1684: j£17: 18:6, and presented by his fon John Lambert fenr, Nov. 24, 1685.

Children:—

3. John, b. perhaps abt. 1629; d. 1710/11. 		Lambert John
 
810 46. Patience Lambert, born Feb. 25, 1710, in Mid- dleton; married Oct. 29, 1730, in Middleton, Solomon Wilkins. He died Jan. 7, 1765, " by a fall under ye wheel of ye corn mill, whether Drowned or Killed by ye fall is uncertain." She died Apr. 15, 1705.

811 26. Samuel Lambert was born Jan. 1, 1693. From a deed in 1710, when he disposed of his share of his father's estate, we find that he was then called "of Salem" and a weaver, but evidently he removed the same month to Middleton, upon his marriage, and there his children were born. He married May 4, 1710, Mary Squier. (A Mary Squiers was born Mar. 10, 1686, at Newbury, but it is not known if she was the Mary above.) Nothing has been found about the Squier family except a few marriages in the Salem vital records.

In the Middleton Minister's Rates, Dec. 24, 1729, appears the name of Samuel Lambert, and in the Town Book, May 10, 1739, " the house whicli was Samuel Lam- bard's on y" way that conies from the homestead of Samuel & Ebenezer Berry into Andover road."

In the Essex County Registry there is an unrecorded deed under date of Mar. 6, 1739/40, in which his widow Mary and his children, for ,£110, deed to Stephen Wil- kins of Middleton, husbandman, several pieces of land in Middleton. Among the children named in this deed is Samuel Lambert (or, as this family seem to have spelled the name, " Lambartt "), and no such son appears among those born in Middleton, while Sarah, the youngest child recorded, does not appear. It may be that the Sarah of the vital records should really be Samuel, as it seems unlikely that there would be an error in an original deed.

Samuel was, as is shown by the above deed, dead in 1739/40, but the date is not found in the Middleton records.

812 9. Samuel Lambert was born Mar. 16, 1664. His house appears in Salem Commoner's records as standing in 1661 and also in 1702, and in the list of Proprietors of Common Lands he had one right. Samuel was a mariner and evidently made a voyage in 1711, for there is record of a draft dated "London, October 15, 1709. 20 days sight draft of Samuel Lambert (signed by mark) on Margaret Lambert, wife of Samuel Lambert in Salem, to John Kitchen for £5:12:6." The draft was protested Apr. 28, 1711, "as her husband was come home."*

Mary, the widow of John Warner, as administratrix of Jonathan Prince, for £35:10, conveyed to Samuel Lambert of Salem a house and land next to the creek, July 23, 1694, and there he lived and died and was succeeded by his son Jonathan Lambert, who died possessed of the estate. Administration was granted Aug. 1, 1774, the house and land then valued at £80. The house was taken down in 1789, according to Rev. William Bentley's Diary.

Samuel married before 1690, Margaret, born Apr. 23, 1671, who died after 1732, daughter of John and Hannah (Collins) Browne, and John and Mary Collins, for £14, conveyed to Samuel Lambert of Salem, mariner, about an acre on the main street, under a mortgage payable in 1717. John Collins of Salem, shoreman, sold a common right to Samuel Lambert Apr. 27, 1721.

The children of John Browne, including Samuel Lambert and Margaret his wife, Nov. 22, 1728, conveyed their rights in the estate of their mother Hannah Browne, alias Culbert («tc, an evident error forCollins), to their brother Joseph Browne of Salem, for £99.

Samuel died between Jan. 17 and Apr. 3,1732, the date and probate of his will, which provided as follows : "I Samuel Lambert of Salem, Shoreman, Weak in Body, To Margaret my beloved Wife fifty poundsin money : likewise the use and Improvement of the Whole of my Estate dureing her Natural Life or so Long as f he Remian my Widow, but if she marry two hundred pounds. To my son in law Joshua Tyler and Margaret his wife one hundred pounds in money after my Wifes decease. To my son in law Thomas Mafon and Preferved his wife five shillings. To my Son in Law Benja Manning & Hannah his wife one hundred pounds at my Wife's decease.

813 Barnabas Lamson. d. 1640. Probably from Essex co., Eng. Was proprietor and town officer at Cambridge in 1635. Selectman in 1636. A member of the Cambridge church. He died in 1640. His wife died before him.* He left his five young children to the care, during their minority, of five different friends. Lamson Barnabus
 
814 Martha Lamson. 1635-1717. Daughter of Barnabas. Probably born at Cambridge about 1635. Left by her father to care of John Stone, who became a pioneer settler in the " outlands " of Sud- bury. Married, at Sudbury, July 7, 1654, Matthew Rice, whom she survived. Died in old age—after 1717. Lamson Martha
 
815 She was listed in the 1910 Census as Carrie Darret but is definitely looks like Bassett. It lists her as the daughter and a son in law Ernest B. Bassett. Is she really the daughter of Preston? It shows that she and her parents were all born in Massachusetts. This can't be, her father was definetely born in Maine along with his parents. Lane Carrie E.
 
816 In the 1910 Census she is listed as Sadie M A Lane and born in Vermont. David E. Vibber and Eloise M. Cram recall her being called "Mary Addie".

In the 1880 Census she is listed as Addie Mary Lane and born in Massachusetts. David E. Vibber and Eloise M. Cram recall her being called "Mary Addie". 		Lane Mary Addie
 
817 1910 Census Shows him at age 68 dealing in real estate and living alone. It also shows himself and his parents being born in maine. This census shows a daughter Carrie and her husband Ernest B. Darret (possibly Basset) living with them. It also shows him as a widow. He listed himself and his parents as being born in Maine. They are living in Worcester, Worcester, Massachusetts in 1910.

The 1900 Census has him listed as a Land Lord. They are living in Worcester, Worcester, Massachusetts in 1900.

In the 1880 census, Preston is listed as a retail grocer.

He has his family living in Boylston, MA in 1880.

He was a clerk during the 1860 Census.

It looks like Preston was married three (3) times. I am unsure what happened to his first wife, who was the mother of his son George P. His second wife must have died sometime prior to 1900. I will have to check cemetery records etc. At some point he decided to move to California and he married a third time to a Mary C. (?????) Jamieson. I am unaware of what happened to her previous husband, but it looks like Preston adopted her two daughters Eveline and Bessie whos last names were Jamieson in the 1920 census. Mary C. and the two duaghters appear to have all been born in Canada.

Lane,- Preston P. Lane was born in the State of Maine on Sept. 28, 1841, and died in Loma Linda, Calif., Sept 21, 1920. In 1910 he was married to Mrs. Mary C. Jamieson, who, with one son, two daughters, and a brother, is left to mourn.

824 Baker says he was born 4 Feb., 1690-1 Leffingwell Samuel
 
825 Thomas Leffingwell the first, of Saybrook, was a native of Croxball, England, and one of the earliest planters of Saybrook, He was personally engaged in the Pequot War, a friend to Uncas, and gave him great assistance at the time the Mohegans were besieged by the Narragansetts in the spring of 1645. Lieutenant Thomas Leffingwell was one of the proprietors of Norwich. He was active in the affairs of the town and state. He died at Norwich about the year 1710. Mary, his wife, died there Feb. 6, 1711. His descendants were numerous, and the name has been quite common in the vicinity of the first settlement of their first American ancestor.

FORREST CURTIS LEFFINGWELL— There is a most interesting story to tell concerning the founder of the Leffingwell family in Connecticut, Thomas Leffingwell, the ancestor of Forrest Curtis Leffingwell, of Montville, Connecticut. Thomas Leffingwell, born in Croxhall, England, was one of the earliest planters of Saybrook, Connecticut, and a friend of the Mohegan chief, Uncas, whom he met in connectionwith a land grant along the sound and the river Thames, on which was a famous spring, near which the village of Uncas was located. Later the Mohcgans were attacked in overwhelming numbers by Narragansett Indians from Rhode Island, and would have exterminated them but for the aid furnished 'by Thomas Leffingwell, who brought provisions and help through the Sound and up the Thames to his Indian friends in distress. In gratitude for the timely aid which enabled him to defeat his enemies and slay their chieftain, Uncas deeded to his friend nine miles square of land in the present town of Norwich,but Thomas Leffingwell apparently placed little value upon the tract, for he never had the deed recorded. He was also given several hundred acres, the deed for which he did record, property which is now included in three towns of the county of New London — Montville, Norwich and Bozrah. Upon this property Thomas Leffingwell, known as Lieutenant Thomas, built five houses, one for each of his sons,these all within signaling distance of each other. Lieutenant Leffingwell was one of the original proprietors of the town of Norwich,and until his death there, about 1710, was active in the affairs of town and colony. Through his five sons and two daughters a numerous family has grown, and Leffingwell is a common name in New London county. The line of descent from Lieutenant Thomas Leffingwell isthrough his son, Samuel Leffingwell, and his wife, Ann Dickinson; their son, Samuel Leffingwell, and his wife, Hannah Gif- ford; their son, Andrew Leffingwell, the first deacon of the First Baptist Church in Bozrah, and his wife, Mercy Nobles; their son, Gurdon Leffingwell. and his wife, Polly Avery; their son, Marvin Leffingwell, and his first wife, Abby Ann Chapman; their son, Daniel Chapman Leffingwell, and his wife, Anna Edith Curtis; their son, Forrest Curtis Leffingwell, of the eighth American generation of the family founded in Connecticut by Lieutenant Thomas Leffingwell. 		Leffingwell Thomas

827 2 John Lewis, yeoman, innholder, lieutenant, captain, and deacon, was born in England in 1631. He came into possession of his father's lands in Wood end fields, 40 acres fronting on the sea and through which Lewis street now passes. At that time the eastern end of Lynn was called "Wood end," and the western end, "Breed's end," and the locality back of where Samuel Graves settled was called "Graves end." For years these names appeared in the description of lands given in deeds.

On the 19, 5mo., 1669, John Lewis of Lynn, yeoman, and wife Hannah, sold to Ralph King for ,23, four acres of upland in Lynn bounded on William King, said Lewis, and south by the sea. (Essex Deeds, Vol. 3, f . 95.) In 1699 he married for his second wife the widow of this Ralph King. Nov. 9, 1699, he deeded his lands to his two sons, John and Thomas, as follows : John Lewis, sen. of Lynn, yeoman, for X160, to his two sons, John and Thomas, yeomen, in equal halves "all my housing and lands in Lynn, viz: a dwelling house where I formerly lived, a barn, with 40 acres tillage at Wood End fields, Also a parcel of Salt marsh in Rumney Marsh 12 acres." (Essex Deeds, Vol. 3. f. 191.) A division of the above was made, June 5, 1708, "the dividing line to begin at a flat rock about a pole & a half from the back side of John Lewis Jr. house and so running easterly on a straight line to a flat rock in the field where it has been formerly broke up, so from thence South East straight to a stake with a heap of stones, thence East to a stake with a heap of stones by the ditch that parts said lands formerly of Ezekiel Needham's, and all lands South of said line to be John's, and all lands North, with the house and barn, till it comes to the brook that runs from Collins' fresh meadow, to be Thomas, John to have all lands North of said brook, it to be the bound betwixt them in that place. As to the Marsh land, John to have the Easterly half, and Thomas to have Westerly half." (Essex Deeds, Vol. 21, f. 50.)

John Lewis was a lieutenant under Capt. Henchman in King Philip's War, and received 1. 14. 3. Aug. 20, 1675. He was granted land at Souhegan West, now Amherst, N. H., for his services, which his grandson, Edmund, secured in 1728. (Bodge's King Philip's War, p. 422.) He was paid 1. 16. 0. June 24, 1676, for services in Capt. Nick Manning's Co. (N. E. Hist. Gen.

853 IX. Betsey Longley, born May 22, 1799, married Daniel Barnes June 13 1821, and settled on "Barnes Hill" in Berlin, on the place now in possession of her son, George H. Barnes. She had thirteen children, ten of whom lived to grow up, and nine are now living. Longley Betsey
 
854 James Longley, the first of the name in Boylston, was a son of William and Mary (Parker) Longley, and was born in Shirley, November 4, 1753. His family was of English origin and of respectable, and even higli standing in church and state ; several were ministers of the established church, and one Thomas Longley, supposed to be of the same family, rose to be Bishop of Durham, Cardinal and Lord Chancellor of England.

William (or as some claim Richard) Longley came to New England soon after the settlement of the Massachusetts Bay Colony ; married Joanna Goffe, a sister of Thomas Goffe, Deputy Governor of the Colony ; settled at Lynn where he was admitted as a freeman March 14, 1638. His son William Longley, settled in Groton, at or very soon after the first settlement of the place, and was one of the most extensive landed proprietors there ; upon his death, his estates came into the possession of his son, William Longley, who resided there until his death in 1694, when he and his family became the victims of Indian depredations, and all were slain but three children, who were carried into captivity. Of these children one died of starvation ; another was sold to the French in Canada, where she finally embraced the Catholic religion, and entered a convent at Montreal ; the third, a son named John remained with the Indians, gradually adopting their manners and customs, until ransomed by Government when he very reluctantly returned to civilized life, and became an honored
and useful citizen. Three of his sons, William, John and Jonas removed from Groton to what is now Shirley, about two years before the incorporation of that place ; the distance from their former homewas only about eight miles in a direct course, and yet, since they had to turn aside for impassable streams and slowly wend their way through the then wilderness, three days were necessary to complete the journey. The life of this William Longley seems to have been that of a quiet New England farmer, uneventful and even in its tenor, varied only by those hardships and privations which were the common lot of every New England pioneer. He lived to witness the struggle of the Colonies against British aggression, and the final consummation of their independence, in which struggle several of his descendants bore an honorable part.

James Longley the son, and principal subject of this sketch, on account of the large family of his father, was forced in early
boyhood to seek a home elsewhere, and finally went to North- borough where after the custom of the time, he was apprenticed to Samuel Gamble, a carpenter, to remain in his service until he should have arrived at the full age of twenty-one years. Under this master he received harsh and severe treatment. He was inefficiently and coarsely clad, and was kept at his work during the whole period of hisindenture, without obtaining a single day's schooling. His treatment was such as would not be tolerated at the present time. He, however, patiently endured his ever- accumulating burdens until the term of his apprenticeship was completed. On obtaining his freedom he entered the employ of a hotel proprietor in Northborough; at this time he began to realize the importance of acquiring an education sufficient to enable him to transact ordinary business ; he obtained a teacher and began to study ; commencing with the alphabet he continued by
patient effort until he had learned to read, write and solve the problems of common arithmetic. With this beginning he sought to qualify himself for the duties of life, and thus became a lifelong student after knowledge.

During the Revolution he became imbued with love for the independence of his country, and entered the service of the Colonies, both in the land and sea forces raised for their protection. He was at first in the marine or privateering service, under Commodore Moody, and was in several successful cruises. He then joined the land forces and served in that dangerous affair on Long Island under General Sullivan, when Mie British troops under General Howe, undertook successfully to force the Americans from the Island, and later was at the battle of Saratoga which witnessed the capture of General Burgoyne. Soon after the close of the Revolution he married Molly Bartlett, of Northborough, and settled upon a large farm near Rocky Pond, in the easterly part of Boylston. His farm was large in extent, containing nearly three hundred acres, naturally rough and broken, and hard of cultivation. On it he erected large and commodious buildings, and by hard and patient labor brought it to a good state of cultivation. He was one of the first of the farmers in Boylston to plant orchards, and to introduce improved fall and winter fruit. On this farm he spent the remainder of his days, and here he reared a large family of children, nearly all of whom reached years of maturity. The quiet of his life as a New England farmer was broken from time to time by calls from his fellow-citizens, to assume important and responsible positions. He was in Shays's Kebellion in 1787, and participated in the night march from Hadley to Petersham, through a blinding snow storm, as the following quaint receipt shows :

He afterwards served for many years in the State Militia, and for some time held the office of captain. He was frequently
elected to town office. He served upon the Board of Selectmen for eighteen years, and was chairman of the board thirteen years ; was one of the Assessors for seventeen years and chairman of the boardtwelve years ; town Treasurer in 1821 ; member of the School Committee in 1803 ; he also served as Moderator of town meetings for many years. He was elected as representative to the General Court forthirteen consecutive years, from 1798 to 1811, and was also the first Justice of the Peace commissioned within the present limits of the town, and was frequently called to preside over petty trials, solemnize marriage, and transact other legal business incident to that office. He was chosen by the town of Boylston to oppose the incorporation of the Second Precinct of Boylston, Holden and Sterling, and again in 1807 to oppose the incorporation of that Precinct as a separate town, and was one of the committee to divide the town property between the towns of Boylston and West Boylston; and was always deeply indentified with whatever tended to increase and develop the best interests of the community. He was of a strong and vigorous constitution, with an active and capacious mind combined withwonderful energy and great firmness, decisive in his judgment which was unerring in whatever projects of a public nature he entered upon. He died January 15, 1837, aged 83 years. He had eleven children.

VI) James Longley, son of William Longley (5), was born at Shirley, Massachusetts, November 4. J753- He married Molly Bartlett, of Northborough, who died August 27, 1831. He resided in Boylston during his active life, and died there January 14, 1837. He had to begin early in life to earn his own living. He was bound out to Samuel Gamble, of Northborough, a carpenter by trade, and received rather shabby treatment that would not be allowed under modern conditions. The boy
was not properly fed nor clothed, and received 'no schooling. He completed his apprenticeship according to the terms of his father's agreement. As soon as he became of age he obtained work in a hotelat Northboro and arranged with a private teacher to assist him in acquiring a knowledge of the alphabet and the first principles of education. He learned rapidly and soon mastered all that was taughtin his < lay in the public schools. He was a student all his life. He became captain of the military company.

He was for nearly half a century a justice of the peace, an office that formerly possessed the importance of local magistrate. For many years he was assessor and selectman and deputy to the general court. He was a soldier in the revoluion. First he served as mariner under Commodore Moody, and made several successful cruises. He afterward joined the land forces, and was with the army under GeneralSullivan in the famous retreat after the Battle of Long Island. He was in the campaign that ended with the surrender of General Burgoyne. He settled in Boylston, Massachusetts, shortly before the endof the war. During his declining years he. enjoyed a pension. He was loyal to the new government at the time of Shay's Rebellion, and held a commission for its suppression. He was in that night marchfrom Hadley to Petersham through a blinding storm of snow.

The children of James and Molly Longley were : 1. Otis, born December 8, 1784, married Lydia Patch, of Worcester; had six children, all born in Boylston. 2. Mary, born in Boylston, February 18, 1786;married, February 18, 1808, Deacon Abijah Flagg, who died December 22, 1850; they had seven children. 3.

855 (IV) John Longley, son of William Longley, Jr., (3), was born in 1683, at Groton, Massachusetts. He was captured by the Indians, July 27, 1694, and lived with them until ransomed in 1699. After he was brought back by force and educated, he became a leading citizen. He was town clerk six years, deacon of the church from 1722 to the time of his death, 1750; town treasurer and parish treasurer and deputy to the general court, for three terms. He was called a good man and an exemplary Christian. He died May 25, 1750, aged sixty-seven years. He married (first) Sarah Prescott, of Groton, who died March 8, 1718. He married (second) about 1720, Deborah Houghton, who died November 7, 1763. His first wife was a sister of Hon. Benjamin Prescott, father of Colonel William Prescott, of Bunker Hill fame, of Colonel James and of Dr.
Oliver Prescott, of Groton. The children of John and Sarah were: Sarah, born March 28, 1706; William, February 13, 1708; John, January 6, 1710; Jonas, January 22, 1712; Lydia, June 26, 1716, married Amos Farnsworth. Among the children of
John and Deborah Longley were : Zachary, born August 30, 1721 ; Joseph, September 12, 1724, died of wounds in the revolutionary army at Greenbush, New York, 1758; Jonathan, November 18, 1726; Zachariah, June 7, 1729; Nathaniel, September 6. 1731; Robert, March 11, 1733-4.

John, who was about twelve years old when he was captured, told the Indians that his father's sheep were shut up in a barn and would starve unless they would permit him to go back and let them out. He promised to return if they would let him go back; they consented and he kept his word and apparently won their admiration and confidence at the same time. He made the best of his predicament and often said in after years that he liked the wild life he led among them and hoped he should never have to return to civilization. And when the government finally ransomed him after five years, he had to be taken with force. But soon after his return to Groton he entered upon his duties as a citizen with interest and zeal. He was well educated and a man of uncommon ability.

John Longley. 1683-1750. "The Captive." Son of William. Born at Groton in 1683. Taken captive by Indians July 27, 1694, when the massacre of his family took place. He remained with the Indians over four years and was known among them as John Augary. He narrowly escaped death from starvation. He took kindly to life among the Indians, notwithstanding hardships, and, had it not been for determined efforts on the part of his relatives and the Massachusetts government, he would probably have become an Indian chief. He was ransomed by the government and, with great difficulty, induced to return to civilization. He became, instead of a great Indian Sachem, a respectable deacon of the church and leading citizen of Groton, Mass. Among papers in possession of the New-England Historic Genealogical Society, Boston (Knox manuscripts), is a deposition made by John Longley, giving a brief statement concerning his captivity among the Indians.

John Longley married (1) in 1705 Sarah, daughter of Jonas Prescott, by whom he had five children. He married (2) at Lancaster Nov. 30, 1720, Deborah, daughter of John Wilder and widow of Robert Houghton, junior, by whom he had seven children. He had nine sons. Like his father and grandfather before him, he was clerk of the town of Groton. He filled that office from 1723 to 1726 and again in 1728 and 1729. He was town treasurer for some twelve years and had three elections as Representative to the General Court. He was deacon of the church 28 years. He died at Groton May 25, 1750. His widow, Deborah, died Nov. 7, 1763, in her 72d year. 		Longley John
 
856 LONGLEY FAMILY.

John Longley (I), father of the immigrant ancestor of the Longley family of Shirley, Massachusetts, and of Charles I. Longley, of Boylston, was a resident of Frisby, Lincoln county, England. He was aclerk. Shortly after his son and heir William went to America, John Longley died, and August 8, 1638, William, his son, made a letter of attorney (power of attorney) to Thomas Meeke, of Wynflete, St.Mary, Lincoln county, to sell and rent lands, goods and legacies descended to him from his father. Owing to an error in the records at Lynn in the name of William when his land was granted to him, Savage and others were led to believe that Richard Longley was the father of William. It is doubtful if any Richard Longley ever lived in Lynn in the early days. If so, William knew him not. William seems to be the only son who emigrated to America.

The name of Longley or Langley is a distinguished one, both by pedigree and by talents.

The visit of the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and York to Canada, in 1901, recalled the interesting fact that the first Duke of York was a Langley—Edmund de Langley, 5th son of Edward III. and great grandfather of Edward IV., was created Duke of York in 1385. Between the houses of York and Lancaster were fought the long wars of the roses—the great "genealogical" wars. Early Langleys were of the manors of Penulbury and Agecroft in Lancashire, the former acquired by marriage with the Prestwich family. Three William Langleys were rectors of the church at Prestwich.* William Langley, who married Lucy At Lese, and his descendants, were of the manor of Well Court, Kent, in the 15th century. To one branch of this family belonged Thomas Langley (1370—1437), who was Bishop of Durham, Cardinal and Lord Chancellor of England.

William Longley or Langley wrote the famous " Piers Ploughman's Visions," two hundred years before Shakespeare, inaugurating the first great epoch in English literature. He held orders in the church and was an ardent reformer. 		Longley John
 
857 (II) William Longley, son of John Longley (l), was born in Frisbie, Lincoln county, England, in 1614. He came to Lynn as early as 1638, and was admitted a freeman March 4, 1639. He resided in Lynn twenty-two years, and was a prominent citizen and office holder there. He removed to Groton about 1659. His name appears first on the Groton records in 1663, and in 1665 he was elected selectman. William Longley had to go to the courts to correct the title to his lands at Lynn which he drew in 1638, and on which he had lived over twenty years. It seems that through a clerical error William's name was entered as Richard Longley on the proprietors' book, and the court records give ample proof that no Richard Longley existed, so the title was cured and doubtless William was able to deed his land tothe purchaser when he went to Groton to live. He had to leave Groton, of course, in 1675, on account of King Philip's war, and he went to Charlestown to live during the hostilities. He served at one time as clerk of writs, indicating that he was well educated. He died November 29, 1680. His will, made November 3, 1680, was recorded April 10, 1681 ; bequeathing to wife Joanna, sons John and William, daughters, Mary Lemmond, Hannah Tarbell, Lydia Nutting, and Sarah Rand, and their children specified.

He married, in England, Joanna Goffe, sister of Thomas Goffe, who was deputy governor of the Massachusetts Bay Company that received a grant from the Crown, March 19, 1628. Goffe was a member of bothPlymouth and Massachusetts Bay companies; was a merchant of London; lost money on the business of chartering ships for the colonists of Governor Winthrop and others. His widow married (second), Benjamin Crispe, and she died in 1698. The children of William and Joanna (Goffe) Longley were: I. John. 2. Mary, married, 1666, Samuel M. Lemont. 3. Sarah, born October 15, 1660; married June 17, 1679, Thomas Rand, father of Robert Rand, to whom a grant of a thousand acres of land was given by the general court in what is now New Hampshire, on account of the losses suffered by Governor Goffe, his great-uncle. 4. Lydia, married James Nutting. 5. William, Jr., mentioned below. 6. Hannah, married Thomas Tarbell, Jr. 7. Ann. 8. Elizabeth, married James Blood.

William Longley. 1614-1680. Son of John Longley of Firsby, Lincolnshire, Eng. Born about 1614. He married Joanna Goffe. He was one of the grantees of Lynn, where he was admitted a freeman (under nameof Langley) March 14, 1639. Bought house and land at Lynn about 1638. He made a letter of attorney Aug. 8, 1639, as "son and heir of John Longley, late of Firsby in co. of Lincoln, clerk," to Thomas Meeke of Waynflete St. Mary,* gentleman, to sell lands etc. descended to him from his said father. William Longley held various offices at Lynn. He was a selectman, clerk of the writs, magistrate, etc. He appears to have been possessed of an excellently-developed bump of com- bativeness. The annalist of Lynn relates that the Longleys were often at odds with their neighbors on account of land claims. In the court records of March 30, 1641, there is a suit entered : "The Worshipful Emanuell Downing and Edmund Batter v. William Langley de Lynn."

In 1662 William Longley prosecuted the town of Lynn for not laying out to him 40 acres of land, according to the division of 1638, when this grant had been erroneously put down to " Richard " Long- ley. This land appears to have been withheld from William Longley during the Cromwellian regime. The court decided, after hearing evidence, that he should have the 40 acres or £40 in money. In 1663 John Hathorne complained to the church at Lynn that Andrew Mansfield and William Longley had given false testimony in the recent land case, for which they were censured. They appealed to the county court, accusing Hathorne of slander, of which he was found guilty and sentenced to pay a fine of £10 and make a public acknowledgment in the meeting-house at Lynn, or else to pay £20 and costs. This directclash between the powers of Church and State appears to have caused considerable commotion at Lynn.

In 1663 Thomas Newhall, the first white person born at Lynn, was prosecuted by William Longley for assault and battery committed on the wife of said William Longley while she was assisting in runninga land line.

In 1663 William Longley removed from Lynn to Groton. Under date of June 17, 1663, Thomas Browne of Groton gave deed to " William Longley of Lin, in the county of Essex, yeoman," of his house, orchard, lands, etc. in Groton, for £80. sterling. Under same date William Longley of Lynn and Joanna, his wife, conveyed to Thomas Browne, of " Grawton," his house, orchard and lands in Lynn for £125. sterling. Richard Blood, Capt. James Parker and William Longley were the three largest original proprietors of the extensive territory which originally bore the name of Groton. Probably some of William Longley's lands took in a portion of what later formed the town of Shirley, where some of his descendants settled. His large tracts of native forest were eventually divided into farms and occupied by hisdescendants. His son, John, was also an original proprietor of Groton.

William Longley first appears upon the records of Groton June 21, 1663, when with Capt. James Parker and others, he voted against the proposal to give Rev. Samuel Willard the use of the house and lands devoted by the town to the purposes of the ministry. There are numerous indications that the first William Longley was not in accord with the attempted ecclesiastical despotism of the day. He was selectman at Groton in 1665, and town clerk in 1666 and '67.

Groton was destroyed by Indians in the spring of 1676 and its inhabitants dispersed. William Longley and his family went to Charlestown, where they remained for a year or two and where he had a grantof land. Some members of the family were also in Lynn during this period. He returned to Groton with a large proportion of the old inhabitants, and rebuilt his house there. At Groton this dauntless pioneer man died Nov. 29, 1680. His widow, Joanna, married, about 1683, Benjamin Crispe, survived him, and died at Charlestown, probably at the home of one of her children, April 18, 1698, ae. 79. Her gravestone is still standing in the old Phipps street burial ground, Charlestown, where the remains of many of her descendants also lie. In her will she remembered her three grandchildren who had beencarried captive by Indians in 1694. It contains the following clause :

Item. I give and bequeath unto my three grandchildren y* are in captivity, if they return, Vizdt, three books, one of y"1 a bible, another a sermon book, treating of faith, and the other a psalm book.

The government of Massachusetts granted, April 16, 1734, 1000 acres of land to Robert Hand, whose father married a daughter of William find Joanna (Goffe) Longley, on account of the services to the colony of his granduncle Thomas Goffe. That Thomas

Joffe must have rendered great services to the Plymouth and Massachusetts colonies, their early days, is evident from this remarkable expression of gratitude, in the shape a large grant of land, morethan a century after the first settlements, to so remote a mnection as a grandson of his sister. The early emigrations to America, from England, were commercial ventures organized by English merchants. The religious element was made very prominent by some overzealous Puritans, who attempted to establish, and did establish for a time, an ecclesiastical despotism in New England.

The village of Firsby is about 4 miles northwest of Wainfleet St. Mary (there is also a Wainfleet All Saints) in Lincolnshire. Not far away is Somersby, where the poet Tennyson was born, and try Firsby runs the little river Steeping—the original of Tennyson's " Brook." Upon 1'ts grassy banks the first American William Longley, as a lad, doubtless disported himself, nigh three centuries agone. 		Longley William
 
858 (III) William Longley, Jr., son of William Longley (2), was born about 1640, at Lynn, Massachusetts, and removed with his father to Croton in 1661, or earlier. He was well educated, and stood well among his townsmen. He was town clerk from 1666 to the time of his death in 1694, when he and his family were victims of an Indian raid. All were slain except three of the children, who were carried into captivity. The house was rifled and burned. Near where it stood the mutilated bodies were buried by the neighbors and the spot marked by a small stone. A few years ago a more suitable monument was erected to mark the site of the massacre and locate the graves of the victims. It is said in Butler's History that the daughter Jemima, who had been tomahawked and scalped with the others, was found alive sitting upon a rock, that she recovered, married and raised a family. Those who were captured were : Betty, Lydia and John. Betty died of starvation. Lydia was sold to the French in Canada, becamea Catholic, entered a convent and became very zealous and bigoted. She wrote letters to her brother John, expressing her sorrow that he should remain under the influence of a heretical faith through which none could attain salvation. John, who was about twelve years old when he was captured, told the Indians that his father's sheep were shut up in a barn and would starve unless they would permit him to go back and let them out. He promised to return if they would let him go back; they consented and he kept his word and apparently won their admiration and confidence at the same time. He made the best of his predicament and often said in after years that he liked the wild life he led among them and hoped he should never have to return to civilization. And when the government finally ransomed him after five years, he had to be taken with force. But soon after his return to Groton he entered upon his duties as a citizen with interest and zeal. He was well educated and a man of uncommon ability.

William Longley, Jr., married Lydia _________. He married (second), May 15, 1672, Deliverance Pease. His children: Betty, died in captivity; Jemima, scalped, but lived; Lydia, the nun; William, born February 17, 1675 ; John, mentioned above and also below ; Joseph, born January 6, 1687.

William Longley. d. 1694. Son of William. Probably born at Lynn and removed with his father to Groton in 1663. He married (I) at Groton, May 15, 1672, Lydia. He married (2) previous to 1686, Deliverance Crispe, probably the widow of Jonathan Crispe, who died at Groton in 1680. Was a large owner of lands in Groton. He was town clerk of Groton in 1687 and from 1692 until his death, July 27, 1694, when he and his family, with the exception of three of the children, were slain by Indians. Ou Feb. 20, 1880, a monument at the place in Groton where stood William Longley's house, and where the first William Longley had also lived, was dedicated. The inscription reads :

Here Dwelt
WILLIAM AND DELIVERANCE LONGLEY
WITH THEIR EIGHT CHILDREN.
On The 27TH Of July, 1694,
The Indians Killed The Father And Mother
And Five Of The Children
And Carried Into Captivity
The Other Three.

Of the three children, Betty, Lydia and John, who were taken captive by the Indians, Betty died of starvation and Lydia was sold to the French in Canada. She became a Roman Catholic and a sister of the Congregation de Notre Dame in Montreal. In that institution is preserved the French record of the baptism of Lydia Longley. A copy of it was procured by Dr. Samuel A. Green, a native of Groton and an ex-mayor of Boston, who gives the following translation in his historical sketch of Groton :

On Tuesday, April 24, 1696, the ceremony of baptism was performed on an English girl, named Lydia Longley, who was born April 14, 1674, at Groton, a few miles from Boston in New England. She was the daughter of William Longley and Deliverance Crisp,* both Protestants. She was captured in the month of July, 1694, by the Abe"naqui Indians, and has lived for the past month in the house of the Sisters of the Congregation de N6tre Dame. The godfather was M. Jacques Leber, merchant; the godmother was Madame Marie Madeleine Dupont, wife of M. de Maricort, Ecuyer, Captain of a company of Marines: shenamed this English girl Lydia Madeleine. Signed

" Lydia Madeleine Longley
"madeleine Dupont
"Leber
"M. Caille, acting curate."

Sister Madeleine died at the house of the Sisters of the Congregation de Notre Dame, July 20, 1758, at the age of 84 years. Her remains and those of Sister Marguerite (who was her relative, Sarah Tarbell, of Groton) lie buried in the little cemetery connected with the convent.

The Longleys and their relatives and connections at Groton suffered severely in the various Indian raids—in killed, wounded and missing. Among those captured by the Indians were three Tarbell boys, who were taken June 20, 1707. They married Indian women, became chiefs and founded the Indian settlement of St. Regis in Canada, which is said not to contain a pure-blooded Indian. A part of the village of St. Regis comes within the limits of Franklin county in the state of New York. More than once treaties have been made between the governor of that state and the chiefs of the Indians, among whom were the descendants of these Tarbell lads. On Sept. 23, 1825, a treaty was signed by eleven chiefs and trustees of the tribe, including Peter Tarbell, Thomas Tarbell, Mitchell Tarbell, Louis Tarbell and Battice* Tarbell. These were all descendants of the Tarbells of Groton, Mass.f Several efforts were made by the Massachusetts government to induce these wandering Tarbells and others to return to the New England fold, but without avail. They remained with the red men, and their children forgot the tongue which the fathers spoke. Among others taken captive from Groton was Matthias Farnsworth (born 1690). He was taken in August 1704. He remained in Canada, took a French wife, and the name is now found in French Canada written Farnet, Phaneuf, etc. Matthias Farnsworth was long supposed to be dead. He was baptized into the Roman Catholic Church at Montreal as Matthias Claude Farnet, his godfather being Claude de Ramezay.

Among the Canadian branches of Farnsworths—descendants of Matthias Farnsworth of Lynn and Groton, who was born in 1612 in Lancaster, Eng.—are those of Annapolis co., N. S. Several of his descendants went to Nova Scotia in the emigration of 1760 and settled in Granville.

* Deliverance Crispe was probably her stepmother.
t In a Dictionnaire Gtmalogique, by the Abbe Tanguay, published in the Province of Quebec, in 1871, there is a list of" Anglais " who were taken " in the wars of the seventeenth century between NewFrance and New-England," including the name of " Lydia Madeleine Longly." 		Longley William
 
859 V) William Longley, son of John Longley (4), was born in Groton, Massachusetts, February 7, 1708. He settled in what is now the South Village of Groton, and his house was on the north side of the Catacunemaug on the side of the hill about
half way between the river and the present location of the Fitchburg Railroad. He and Samuel Hazen built the first grist mill in Shirley, and later added a saw mill. The mill stood on the north side of the river. His brothers Jonas and William also settled in what is now the town of Shirley, then Groton, in 1751, thirty years after the first settlement there, and two years before it was incorporated as a district of Groton. The Shirley history contains an interesting account of the removal of the three Longley families through the wilderness to their new homes in Shirley. The trip took three days, though only about ten miles as the crow flies. William Longley died at Shirley, May 15, 1788. He married, January 4, 1734, Mary Parker, of Groton. Their children were: I. William, born at Groton, died young. 2. Mary, born at Croton, October 13, 1736, died in 1749. 3. William, born at Croton, May 23, 1738; was a miller; left numerous descendants in Shirley. 4. Sarah, born at Croton, February 18, 1740; married (first) James Willard, (second) a Mr. Hall, of Swansea. 5. Anna, born at Groton, March 10, 1742; married Samuel Bartlett. 6. Lydia, born at Groton, December 31, 1743; married Thomas Bennett, of Lancaster. 7. Israel, born at Groton, October 12, 1745, progenitor through his son Israel, of a large family of the name in Nova Scotia and vicinity. 8. Nehemiah, born at Groton, September4, 1747; married Miriam Sawtell, of Shirley. 9. Mary, born at Groton, November 4, 1749; married John Priest, of Lancaster, io. Joshua, born at Groton, July 23, 1751 ; married Bridget Melvin, of Concord, n. James, mentioned below. 12. Abigail, born at Shirley, December I, 1755; died October, 1758.

William Longley. 1708-1788. Second child and oldest son of John. Born at Groton Feb. 7, 1708. Among the records of baptiamata by the Rev. Dudley Bradstreet, 4th minister of Groton, is the following: Feb. 15. 1707.* Guilielmus Longly Filius Joannis & Sarace Longly.

He married Jan. 4, 1733, Mary, daughter of Joseph Parker. He appears to have been concerned in the settlement of the new town of Lunenburg, adjoining Groton, and may have lived there for a time. In 1751, in company with his two brothers, John and Jonas, he removed from Groton to Shirley—a very serious journey through the wilderness, at that time, though only ten miles distance. In connection withSamuel Hazen, he built the first grist-mill at Shirley, to which a saw-mill was added later. He was the miller of Shirley and was succeeded by his son, William, in the same occupation.

William Longley saw military service in the French war. He served in Col. Jonathan Bagley's regiment during the campaign of 1758. Several of his brothers also served in this war. His brother, Joseph,who was in the same company as William, was mortally wounded at Fort William Henry and died at Greenbush, N. Y., Oct. 12, 1758. Under date of May 9, 1758, William Longley appointed his brother, "JohnLongley, of Shirley, gentleman," his lawful attorney to sell real estate and transact all business for him. Under this power of attorney, Dec. 5, 1763, John Longley, on behalf of his brother, William, " now residing in the Province of Nova Scotia, yeoman," deeded William's interest in the estate of his father's widow, Deborah, to their brother, Zachariah of Groton. William Longley removed to NovaScotia in 1760 and settled in the Belleisle district, Granville, Annapolis co. He took with him his son, Israel, then about 15 years of age. About the time that Israel became of age he appears to have returned to Shirley, leaving the Nova Scotia property to Israel. He died at Shirley May 15, 1788. 		Longley William

863 (IV) Rev. John Lathrop, a son of Thomas Lathrop, was born at Etton, Yorkshire, England, and baptized there December 20, 1584. He spelled his name Lothropp. He was educated in Queen's College, Cambridge, graduating in 1601 with the degree of B. A. and taking his master's degree in 1609. He became curate of the parish church in Egelton in the Lower Half Hundred of Calehill, Lathe of Screy, county Kent. He was there as early as 1614, probably in 1611 and as late as the fall of 1619, and it was doubtless his first and only parish as minister of the Church of England. When he could no longer subscribe to the creed of that church, he renounced his orders in 1623 and allied himself with the Puritans. In 1624 he was called to succeed Rev. Henry Jacob, an independent minister of the First Independent Church of London, who had resigned to go to Virginia. The worship of this church was illegal and their meetings secret. The' church was discovered by a spy named Tomlinson and forty-two made prisoners, eighteen being allowed to escape, April 22, 1632. The Puritan prisoners were consigned to the old Clink prison in Newgate and in the Gatehouse. In the spring of 1634 all were released on bail except Mr. Lathrop. In the quaint language of Nathaniel Morton in the "New England Memorial" (1669) the story of his further stay in England is briefly told: "His wife fell sick, of which sickness she died. He procured liberty of the bishop to visit his wife before her death, and commended her to God by prayer, who soon gave up the ghost. At his return to prison his poor children, being many, repaired to the bishop at Lambeth, and made known unto him their miserable condition, by reason of their good father's being continued in close durance, who commiserated their condition so far as to grant him liberty who soon after came over into New England." "He came to Boston with part of his flock in the ship, "Griffin," and another sailing in the fall of 1634 and arriving September 18, proceeded toScituate, where nine pioneers had already located, and prepared the way for others. He was formally chosen pastor January 19, 1634. He married again Anna _____, and was granted a farm near the First Herring brook and had shares in the salt marshes. He left his home in Scituate after some disagreement in the church, and with others from Scituate located at Barnstable on Cape Cod, arriving October n, 1639, bringing with them the crops they had raised in Scituate. Mr. Lathrop fearlessly proclaimes in old and New England the great truth that man is not responsible to his fellowman in matters of faith and conscience. Differences of opinion he tolerated. During the fourteen years that he was pastor of the Barnstable church, such was his influence over the people, that the power of a civil magistrate was not needed to restrain crime. Xo pastor was ever more beloved by his people, none ever had a greater influence for good. * * * To become a member of his church no applicant was compelled to sign a creed or confession of faith. He retained his freedom, he professed his faith in God, and promised that it should be his constant endeavor to keep His commandments, to live a pure life and to walk in love with his brethren.1' He stood among the Puritans, a Congregational of the Unitarian denomination, as we now class them. Morton says: "He was a man of humble and broken heart spirit, livelyin Dispensation of the Word of God, studious of peace, furnished with godly contentment, willing to spend and he spent for the cause of the Church of Christ." Mr. Lathrop died at Barnstable, November8, 1653. His will was dated August 10, and proved December 6, 1653, bequeathing to son Thomas, the eldest; to son John, who was in England; son Benjamin, daughters Jane and Barbara; to each of the rest of his children, both his and his wife's. Children: i. Jane, baptized at Egerton, England, September 29, 1614, married, April 9, 1635 (by Captain Myles Standish), Samuel Fuller, son of Edward who came on the '"Mayflower." 2.

865 John Lovejoy first appears in LOVEJOY our colonial history as one of the first settlers and original proprietors of Andover, Massachusetts. It is >aid that he was born in England, about 1630, and probably came from Andover, Hants, from whence came nearly all of the first settlers of the New England town of the same name. Andover, Massachusetts, was incorporated in 1646, and in one of the ancient record books is set down the names of settlers in the order of their arrival there. The name of John Lovejoy is seventeenth on the list. In 1658 he was one of the petitioners to the general court for relief from the encroachments of other towns on the territory of Andover, and in 1674 he was one of a committee chosen to settle "a great controversie in ye towne about giving out of lands." with direction "to consider ye same to se if it be convenient to give away any more land or how and to whome." In 1687, when travellers began to complain because there was no house of public entertainment "upon the Rode at Andover that leatleth from Ipswich and the Townes that way to Billerica." the name of John Love- juy appears first on the petition to the general court praying "that William Chandler Senior whose house stands convenient may be allowed for that worke." On January 1, 1651, John Lovejoy married Mary Osgood, of Ipswich, who died before 1678. daughter of Christopher Osgood. He married second, March 23, 1678, Hannah, daughter of John Hoyt. of Salisbury.

867 Amariah Lyon, from the best information obtained, was the son of Thomas Lyon, who came from Roxbury, and settled in Dedham, Mass., about the year 1798. He is believed to have been the son or grandsonof William Lyon, the first of the name who came from England to America and settled at Roxbury, Mass., in the year 1635.

Amariah Lyon was educated a physician at Boston, and came to Montville (formerly the North Parish of New London) about the year 1740, a farmer and a person of considerable notoriety.

876 SECOND GENERATION.

II. 1. John Manser, possibly of Boston, but probably of Charlestown. He may have been born about 1670 as he married in 1695.

Was he a son of Robert Manser? That seems the most probable theory, but as yet there appears to be no evidence other than suitability in age and residence and station in life. There is nothing known to conflict with this theory.

John Manser married in Boston, 24 April, 1695, by Rev. James Allen, Mary Mirick. He is described as of Charlestown, and the bride as of Boston. His name is spelled Monsir. Wyman says Mary Mirick had been a servant of Anthony Stod- dard in Charlestown.

No children are recorded to this marriage. Woburn records record the marriage of John Mansur to Elizabeth Hinshaw of Charlestown, 3 June, 1701. They had the following children, born in Charlestown :—

I-I. Elizabeth, born 28 Jan., 1702-3, bapt. 28 March, 1703. 1-2. John, born to Nov., bapt. n Nov., 1705.

There is no settlement of the estates of John or his wife.
Elizabeth Henshaw was the daughter of Thomas and Hannah (Cleveland) Henshaw of Woburn, and was born 30 July, 1678.

(2) John Manser, probably of Charlestown but possibly of Boston, is believed to have been a son of Robert, previously mentioned, although there appears no other evidence of the fact than suitability of age and residence and station in life; nothing is known which in any way conflicts with this theory and the relationship is regarded as established beyond the question of doubt. John Mansur married, in Boston, April 24, 1695. Mary Mirick. He is described as of Charlestown, and his wife as of Boston ; in the record his name is spelled Monsir. No children are recorded to this- marriage. Woburn records record the marriage of John Mansur and Elizabeth Henshaw, of Charlestown, June 3. 1701. Elizabeth Henshaw was a daughter of Thomas and Hannah (Cleveland) Henshaw, and was born July ,30, 1678. Children of John and Elizabeth (Henshaw) Mansur: Elizabeth, born January 28, 1702-03, baptized March 28, 1703. John, born November 10, 1705 baptized November, 1705. 		Manser or Mansur John
 
877 ROBERT MANSER OF CHARLBSTOWN.

I. Robert Manser married Elizabeth Brooks, 6 June, 1670!

He was living in 1677-8, but was probably dead before 1680 (Charlestown tithe lists), but there is no settlement of his estate.

Elizabeth Manser, Sr., and Elizabeth Manser, Jr., ordered to be summoned into court for not appearing at the court upon summons of the Charlestown Committee, 7 Oct., 1684.

29, 10 mo., 1684, they appear in court and their answer being accepted they are dismissed. (Middlesex Court Records.)

Wyman, in his " Estates," records that the widow Elizabeth Manser was to have a chamber at Thomas Barber's, 21 Oct., 1689. (Selectmens' Records.)

Elizabeth Manser, widow of Robert, died 3 Jan., 1694-5. There is no settlement of her estate.

Children :—

1. John, born about 1670.
2. Thomas, born before 1680.
3. William, born before 1680.
4. Elizabeth, set. 13 in 1685; m. 3 Dec., 1687,Thomas Pope, a mariner.
5. Robert, born 15 April, 1674, at Charlestown. Nothing further regarding him has been discovered.
The earliest mention of the Mansur MANSUR surname in New England is found i1v the marriage records of Charlestown, Massachusetts, which place was the center of a settlement of many fishermen from theIsle of Jersey, and it is quite possible that Mansur (or Manser) was a name among them. The surname is an original one, and not a corruption of any similar French name, and is derived from the ancient Norman "Mansur," which was introduced into England by the Normans, but now is not frequently met with either there or in this country, although in America it probably has a greater number of representatives than on the other side of the Atlantic.

It is not settled beyond all question and according to arbitrary genealogical requirements that the now known Mansur family of America was founded by Robert Mansur, of Charlestown. Mansur genealogy says that while contemporary proofs are wanting that Robert was the common ancestor of the American family, there are certain unmistakable evidences which point to the fact with such directness as to admit of no doubt on the subject. There is a tradition, however, that the first one of that surname in. this country was a French Huguenot who bore the title of Monsieur, and that he came from the Isleof Jersey and settled in the vicinity of Boston about the year 1660. He is said to have been so eccentric in his ways that he was known among his neighbors as the "crazy Frenchman," but the same tradition which ascribes this quality to him also says that he was a person of some means, that he dressed well and engaged in no occupation, but is silent in respect to his family and connections in social and domestic life. In one of the ancient Charlestown records isa record that one Robert Man- sir (or Mansur) married Elizabeth Brooks, a widow, June 6, 1670, and Savage mentions Robert Mansur as a householder in Charlestown in 1678. From all these and other facts it is a safe conclusion that this Robert was in fact the founder of the family of that .surname in America, and he will be so treatedin .these annals.

(1) Robert Mansur (otherwise Manser) married. June 6, 1670, Elizabeth Brooks, and was living in 1677-78, but probably died before 1680. although there is no record of settlement of his estate. Elizabeth Manser, widow of Robert, died January 3, 1694-95. They had children: John, Thomas, William. Elizabeth and Robert. 		Manser or Mansur Robert

881 THIRD GENERATION.

III. 1-2. John Mansur of Methuen, appears to be that John born in 1705, son of John, supposed son of Robert. If so, he would have been of age in 1726. He first comes to notice in 1729.

John Mansur of Andover for £72 N. E. money (i. e., $235) buys of Abel Astin and his wife Sarah of Methuen, forty acres in Methuen, bounded on John Guttason, Jr., Thomas Astin, James Baker, and John Guttason; deed dated 15 April, 1729; acknowledged 14 May, 1729; recorded 10 July, 1740. Essex Deeds, 79-134-

John Mansur of Andover, husbandman, buys of Thomas Astin and wife Sarah of Methuen, for £26, land there, being 20 acres, bounding on Benj. Gage, by Haverhill former line, late Eben. Barker, so on Haverhill line and William Gutterson. 24 May, 1726; ackowledged 27 May, 1729; recorded 10 July, 1740. Essex Deeds, 79-134.

Examination of Quarterly Sessions fails to find any notification of Mansur from any town in Essex as late as 1736.

John Mansur of Methuen, married in Andover 31 Dec., 1732, Hannah Lovejoy of the South Parish. Andover Records.

It is not clear who Hannah was. The Lovejoys are an old Andover family. Thomas Astin, or Austin, who sold the land above described, had married in 1714, Sarah, daughter of Christopher Lovejoy.

There was a Hannah, daughter of Joseph Lovejoy (by his wife Sarah Pritchard), born on n Feb., 1693-4, but she could hardly have been the mother of John Mansur's children.

There is no settlement of the estate of Christopher Lovejoy. It has been thought Hannah may have been his daughter.

John Manser (spelled Mancer on rolls) served in the French war. He was of the Train Band of Methuen in 1757. Mass. Archives, pj-2p$.

John Mancer, Jr., was also of the Train Band.

John Mancer appears on a muster roll sworn to i March, 1759, as of Lieut. Chandler's company, Col. Osgood's regiment, which marched on an alarm to the relief of Fort William Henry, Aug., 1757. They marched from Andover 15 Aug., to Worcester. Dated Andover i March, 1759. Mass. Archives, pj- 298.

It is quite possible that this was the younger John.

Andover records contain no references to the family of John Mansur.

Administration on the estate of John Mansur of .Methuen, yeoman, was granted to the relict Hannah, 5 Aug., 1776. Samuel Mansur was a surety. The inventory shows £55.

Children:—
1-2-1. John.
1-2-2. William, born I Jan., 1737. -2-4. James, born 7 Sept., 1744.
1-2-3. Elizabeth, m 28 Sept., 1758, at Methuen, to Samuel Bodwell.
1-2-5. Samuel, m. 2 May, 1765, at Methuen, to Sarah Varnum of Dracut.

Mr. Moses Mansur wrote the following account of the origin of the family, to his sister Lucinda :—

" When I was a little boy I was much in my grandmother's part of the house; people would come in and talk over old times. I listened. Our great-grandfather was born in 1702 and came from Jersey, an island belonging to England, lying near the French Coast. He was of French origin, Mansur being French.

" I have often heard grandmother, my grandmother, say when she was small the men were busy in the summer time at three o'clock in the morning. The women would put the saddle-bags on the horse and go off to Haverhill shopping, so as to get back before dark. Haverhill was the nearest trading place then, and the road was full of stumps, stones, and woods."

Mary (Harris) Mansur and her friends, talking of old times, would leave but a more or less confused account in the mind of a young lad. It is doubtful if the first John, being not more than ten when his father died, knew much about the origin of the family. It is quite possible Robert came from Jersey. The John of Methuen might easily have become confounded with John, son of Robert, his father, in the mind of the youthful listener.

He appears to have been a man of prominence in the community and was what was called a " lithing man." This curious office is now obsolete, but during its continuance it was a very important part of the economy of the New England village, and brought the official into very close relations with the townspeople. While his duties were connected with the church, he was also a town officer, and had many semi- secular duties to perform. Each tithing man had several neighboring families under his charge, originally ten, as the word " tithing " would signify. He enforced the learning of the church catechism at home, sometime during the week visited the houses to hear the children recite their catechism. These families he watched especially on Sundays, to see whether they all attended church and did not loiter on the way. In some Massachusetts towns he was ordered to watch on week days to keep " boys and all persons from swimming in the water." Truly ten large families, with many boys, such aswere common in New England, must have kept him busy on hot August days.

He inspected taverns and reported all disorderly persons within, forbade the sale of intoxicating liquors to them, had power as a constable to arrest any evil-doer, administered the " oath of fidelity" to new citizens, and warned undesirable visitors to' leave town. He could arrest persons who walked or rode at too fast a pace while going to meeting on Sunday, or who made needless visits or took unnecessary rides on Sunday, or otherwise broke the Sunday laws. Within the meeting house the tithing man kept order by beating out dogs, correcting unruly and noisy boys, and waking those who slept. To accomplish this, he sometimes walked up and down the church aisles, carrying a stick which had a knob on one end, and a dangling foxtail on the other. It is said that he tapped the boys on the headwith the knobbed end of the stick, and tickled the faces of sleeping church attendants with the fox-tail. In those days everybody old and young, was supposed to attend church. If any one was absent it was noticed, and if the absence continued three Sundays it was the duty of the tithing man to visit the family and ascertain the cause. Some old churches had tithing men until the beginning of this century.

John Mansur lived and died a strict Puritan, and now lies buried at Methuen, Mass., beside his son, James Mansur.

(III) John Mansur, of Methuen, appears to be lhat John who was born in 1705, the son of John, the latter having been presumed to be the son of Robert. John_first comes to notice in 1729, when John Mansur, of Andpver, bought land of Abel Astin. He married, in Andover, December 31, 1732, Hannah Lovejoy, of an old Andover family of that name. This John Mansur was undoubtedly the person mentioned as John Mancer, and who served during the early part of the French and Indian wars, was member of the train band of Methuen in 1757. and whose name appears on the muster roll of Lieutenant Chandler's company of Colonel Osgood's regiment which marched to the relief of Fort William Henry in August, 1757. The children of John and Hannah (Lovejoy) Mansur were: John, William. James, Elizabeth and Samuel. 		Mansur John
 
882 (IV) William (i). second child and second son of John and Hannah (Lovejoy) Mansur, was born in Dracut, Massachusetts, January I, 1737, and died in 1808. He went from Dracut to Wilton, New Hampshire, (now Temple), before 1772, and is believed to have been one of the first settlers there. He served with credit in the American army during the revolution, first on the occasion of the Lexington Alarm and twice afterward as a soldier of the Continental army. In 1762 William Mansur mar- Tied Isabella Harvey, who was born in Dracut in 1739- She survived her husband about twelve years, .and died in Temple, December 27. 1826, aged eighty- seven years. The children of William and Isabella (Harvey) Mansur were: William, John. Elizabeth, Joseph, Ezra, Stephen, Aaron, Jeremy, Hannah and Harvey. Mansur William

ROBERT McCAULEY came here very early in the history of the town, certainly as early as 1777, and built on the west side of the road between William and Graftou Curtis's, east of the Branch village, and near the river, as it bends to the south. Waa the first tailor in town, and followed that business here nearly twenty years. Was out in the Revolutionary army. Was a cripple in old age. His father was Alexander McCauley, brother of James, the first settler in Hillsborough, in 1741. Alexander seems to have lived iu Hillsborough for a time, and Robert came here undoubtedly from that place. James and Alexander were born in the Province of Ulster in Ireland; were genuine Scotchmen; located awhile in the vicinity of Boston after arrival in this country, and then came to Hillsborough. Alexander was born in 1707. His wife. Mary Pinkerton, born in Ireland iu 1712, was cousin of the first John Pinker- ton of Londonderry. She died in Merrinv-ick, Jan. 20, 1791. He died in the same place Oct. 11, 1788. They were parents of James McCauley, who married Isabel Jameson, and of Robert McCauley of this towu, and of Sarah McCauley who married Thomas Stuart of this town. Robert married Abigail Smith of Dunharton, July 11, 1774. She was called " Nabby," and our records call her ' Neaby." He was credited with a second wife, whose name I have not been able to find, and whose existence I doubt. He is believed to have left Antrim about 1794. The house he lived in has been gone many years. She called herself (Nabby Smith) a niece of Gen. John Stark, and was his adopted daughter. Robert McCauley diedin Crown Point, N. Y., 18i'(5, aged ninety-three. He kept his payments of continental money till the day of his death. The children, as far as known, were thus given on the town record, though an older one may have been brought here on removal to this town.
