BUTTER, or BUTTERS, ISAAC, Medfield, freem. 1666. WILLIAM, Woburn, by w. Rebecca had William, b. 18 Sept. 1689, very soon; William, again, 24 Mar. 1691, d. young; Rebecca, 10 Oct. 1693, d. young; Lydia, 11 June 1695; Rebecca, again, 30 Aug. 1698; and perhaps he rem.
BUTTERFIELD, Benjamin, Charlestown 1638, project. sett. at Woburn 1640, with others, was freem. 1643, had Mary, prob. other ch. (perhaps b. in Eng.) and here Nathaniel, 14 Feb. 1643; Samuel, 17 May 1647; Joseph, 15 Aug. 1649; rem. 1654, to Chelmsford, where his w. Ann d. 19 May 1660. He m. 3 June 1663, Hannah, wid. of Thomas Whittemore of Malden. Prob. he is anc. of the many wh. bear this name in our Co. of Middlesex. JONATHAN, Chelmsford, perhaps s. of [[vol. 1, p. 323]] the preced. d. 3 Apr. 1673. NATHANIEL, Chelmsford, s. perhaps eldest, of Benjamin, freem. 1682. SAMUEL, Springfield 1636, was k. at Saybrook next yr. prob. by the Pequots, as minute. relat. in Winthrop I. 198. Very curious is the coincid. seen in Niles, Ind. but Fr. Wars, as print. 3 Mass. Hist. Coll. VI. 279, that ano. Samuel B. of Groton, a. seventy yrs. later, fell in the hds. of the Ind. but far more strange is the mistake, in the large Hist. of Boston, 203, of the author's note, mak. Niles, with wild anachronism, give "the godly young man" k. by the Pequot, 1636, the name of him, wh. two or three generat. later, was tak. not k. by a differ. tribe. Mr. Drake's devotion to Ind. hist. might excite wonder at such an error, that can mislead no careful reader, wh. will instant. perceive the cause of the hallucinat.
BUTTERWORTH, JOHN, Rehoboth 1643, was one of the found. of first Bapt. ch. 1663; in Swanzey. JOHN, Rehoboth, s. perhaps, of the preced. m. 4 Sept. 1674, Hannah Wheaton, whose f. is not told, had Mary, b. 20 Oct. 1677; John, 7 May 1679; and Elizabeth 15 Jan. 1683; perhaps others. NATHANIEL, Groton, perhaps only trans. d. 1682, as Farmer tells. SAMUEL, perhaps of Weymouth, was adm. freem. 13 May 1640, more certain. liv. 1645 at Rehoboth. SAMUEL, Rehoboth, wh. may have been s. of the preced. or of John. of the same, was soldier of Gallop's comp. in the sad exped. of Sir William Phips against Quebec, 1690; but it is not kn. whether he outliv. it.
BUTTOLPH, JOHN, Salem, s. of Thomas, a glover, m. 16 Oct. 1663, Ann, or Hannah, d. of George Gardner, had John, b. 11 Sept. 1664, d. next spring; Jonathan, 2 Nov. 1665, or (by any. version of the numerals in rec.) 9 Apr. 1666; George, 15 Oct. 1667; rem. to Boston, there was freem. 1673; rem. to Wethersfield, and m. after 1687, Susanna, wid. of Nathaniel Sandford of Hartford (unless this was ano. man), and d. 14 Jan. 1693. Other ch. he had, by w. Sarah, at Salem, as John, again, 1 July 1688; Hannah, 9 Dec. 1689; Abigail, James, perhaps more, and left large est. at W. and Boston. THOMAS, Boston, leather-dresser, or glover, came in the Abigail, from London, 1635, aged 32, with w. Ann, 24, had Thomas, b. 12 Aug. 1637, bapt. 29 Sept. 1639, as he and w.had that mo. unit. with our ch.; John, 28, bapt. 29 Feb. 1640; Abigail, 18, bapt. 19 Feb. 1643; and Mehitable, b. 26 Oct. 1651. He was freem. 2 June 1641, constable 1647, and d. 1667. His will of 25 May, pro. 18 June of that yr. is seen in Geneal Reg. XVI. 159, and the wid. liv. to 10 Oct. 1680. Abigail m. 15 Aug. 1660, David Saywell, and, next m. 1673, Thomas Bingley. This name in ch. rec. is Buttall, wh. misled Farmer to count two for one, and is print. Buttels in 2 Mass. Hist. Coll. VIII. 106. THOMAS, Boston, s. of the preced. m. 5 Sept. 1660, Mary, d. of Nicholas Baxter, had Thomas, b. 5 Oct. 1661, d. young; Thomas, again, 5 Feb. 1663; Mary, 21 Jan. 1665; Abigail, Jan. 1667; and Nicholas, 3 Mar. 1668; and d. Jan. 1669. His wid. m. Joseph Swett. [[vol. 1, p. 324]]
BUTTON, DANIEL, perhaps of Haverhill, s. of Matthias, may have had s. Matthias, and was in Lothrop's comp. k. at Bloody brook battle, 18 Sept. 1675. JOHN, Boston 1633, a miller, freem. 14 May 1634, ar. co. 1643, was a miller in Eng. b. a. 1594, disarm. in 1637, as a favor. of Wheelwright, yet made constable 1640, had w. Grace, wh. d. 9 Mar. 1639. Next yr. he had sec. w. Joan, and a third, in his will of 5 Nov. 1681, is nam. Mary, to wh. he gave most of his prop. exc. �20. to the first ch. "to buy two silver cups." Near 48 yrs. he had been a mem. and his resid. was on Copp's hill, of course near his mill. MATTHAIS, Boston, a Dutchman, by w. Lettice had Mary, bapt. 23 Feb. 1634; and Daniel, 22 Feb. 1635; was of Ipswich 1639, and after at Haverhill, where at gr. age. he d. 1672. Rev. Thomas Cobbet says, he came in 1628, of course with Endicott to Salem. But Mr. Felt perhaps confus. him with Robert. Perhaps his d. Sarah m. 6 Jan. 1674, James Kingsbury. MATTHIAS, Haverhill, perhaps gr.s. of the preced. took o. of alleg. 28 Nov. 1677. PETER, New London, had Peter, b. 1688; Mary, 1689; Matthias, 1692; and d. Eliphal, 1694. ROBERT, Salem, freem. 1642, m. Abigail, d. of wid. Alice Vermaes, had Samuel, bapt. 27 May of that yr.; Abigail, 7 Jan. 1644; Hannah, 21 Dec. 1645, a. five days old; Sarah, 16 Jan. 1648, a. six days old; and Samuel, again, 24 Feb. 1650, a. nine days old. But the three last were b. and bapt. at Boston, where he was a merch. in large business, constable 1650, and d. next yr. in early manhood. His will of 9 Jan. was pro. 3 weeks after, and his wid. m. in Apr. foll. Edward Hutchinson, jr. Abigail m. Joseph Dudson.
BUTTERICK, Samuel, Concord, s. of William, was freem. 1679, and perhaps the same wh. serv. in Appleton's comp. as from Cambridge, was wound. in the gr. swamp fight, 19 Dec. 1675, and on the roll wrote his name Bouterick. WILLIAM, Concord, came, prob. in the Susan and Ellen 1635, aged 18, and he may have come, as Shattuck thot. with Flint, the chief planter of C. as we kn. not what sh. F. came in; yet the est. of F. was so large, that he must have been liable as a subsidy man, so under the Privy council's order not permit. to emb. without special license for the purpose, and to him, as a favorer of puritans, such license might have ben refus. B. m. 1646, Sarah Bateman, wh. d. 1664, perhaps mo. of all his ch. Mary; William; John, b. 21 Sept. 1653, wh. was inhab. of Stow; Samuel, 12 Jan. 1655; Edward, 6 Jan. 1657, wh. d. in few days; Joseph, 29 Dec. 1657; and Sarah. I suppose that in Concord rec. when it tells the b. of Mary, 19 Sept. 1648, and d. 1 Nov. foll. and calls her d. of William and Mary it is a blunder. He was freem. 1647, took sec. w. 1667, Jane Goodenow, possib. wid. of Thomas, wrote his name in three syllab. Butterick, and d. 30 June 1698. WILLIAM, Cambridge, came in the Planter 1635, aged 20, said to be [[vol. 1, p. 325]] from Kingston, on Thames, call. ostler; but it may have been for purpose of deception. He m. I think, Elizabeth d. of John Hastings.
BUTTRY, or BUTTERY, JOHN, Reading, perhaps s. of Nicholas, had John, b. 9 May 1660; and Elizabeth 1 June 1662. NICHOLAS, Cambridge, came, prob. in the James from London 1635, aged 33, with w. Martha, 28, and ch. Grace, 1. This surname is unusual; but when Grace m. 14 Oct. 1653, William Healey, it was spell. Butterice, or Buttress.
BUXTON, ANTHONY, Salem, 1637, by w. Elizabeth had Anthony, b. 6 Sept. 1653, wh. d. at 22 yrs.; Samuel, 14 Aug. 1655, wh. d. at 20 yrs.; James, 8 Aug. 1659, d. young; Thomas, 24 Feb. 1662, d. in few mos.; Joseph, 17 July 1663; and Hannah, 27 Jan. 1666; beside Rachel, that d. on the same day with her br. Samuel; made his will 8 Mar. 1684, and d. soon, leav. wid. and ch. beside the two last nam. Elizabeth w. of Isaac Cook; John; Lydia; Mary; and Sarah. Mary m. 28 Dec. 1672, John Cook. CLEMENT, Stamford 1650, d. 2 Aug. 1657, had ds. Sarah and Unity, beside s. Clement. His wid. Unity m. 22 July 1658, Peter Brown of the same, and next, 9 Mar. foll. m. Nicholas Knapp. JOHN, Salem, s. prob. of Anthony, m. 30 Mar. 1668, Mary Small, had Mary, b. 3 Sept. 1669; Elizabeth 13 Aug. 1672; and John, 29 Nov. 1675. His w. d. 27 Jan. foll. and he d. 16 May 1715, aged a. 71 yrs. He had m. sec. w. 7 Oct. 1677, Elizabeth Holton, d. perhaps of Joseph of Danvers, then call. Salem vill. and had Joseph, 24 Nov. 1678; Sarah, 9 Feb. 1680; Anthony, 24 Feb. 1682; Hannah, 20 Jan. 1685; Rachel, 6 May 1688; Ebenezer, 20 June 1690; Lydia, 16 Oct. 1692; Benjamin, 10 Mar. 1695; James, 28 Sept. 1698; Amos, 12 Feb. 1701; and Jonathan, 25 July 1706. JOSEPH, Salem, s. prob. of Anthony, by w. Esther had Elizabeth b. 17 Nov. 1689; Samuel, 2 May 1691; James, 2 Mar. 1693; John, 25 Feb. 1696; not all at S. however; and at Ipswich, by w. Elizabeth the same man, or his neph. perhaps, had Joseph, 28 May 1709; Abigail, 27 Jan. 1712; and Rachel, 1 May 1714. THOMAS, Salem 1639, a husbandman, d. June 1654.
BYAM, ABRAHAM, Chelmsford, prob. s. of George, was freem. 1682. GEORGE, Salem, freem. 18 May 1642, had Abraham, bapt. 14 Apr. 1644; and Abigail, 7 Jan. preced. was later of Wenham, and from the ch. there dism. to Chelmsford in 1655.
BYFIELD, NATHANIEL, Boston 1674, it is said, was b. 1653, at Long Ditton, Co. Surry, s. of Rev. Richard (wh. bec. a mem. of the famous Westminister Assemb.) and youngest of 21 ch. m. 1675, Deborah, d. of capt. Thomas Clark, wh. d. 1717, had Nathaniel, and four more ch. wh. all, d. young, exc. Deborah, wh. m. 22 Oct. 1696, Edward Lyde. He m. for sec. w. 17 Apr. 1718, Sarah, youngest d. of Gov. Leverett, wh. d. 21 Dec. 1730; was of ar. co. 1679, a prop. and among first sett. of Bristol in Plymouth Col. for wh. he was rep. 1691, and after chart. [[vol. 1, p. 326]] of 1692 for the Unit. Prov. speaker of the ho. 1693, a col. judge of prob. and of com. pleas. for the new County of Bristol, after for Suffk. and judge of the Vice-Admira. as also of his majesty's counc. d. 6 June 1733. See Hutch. II. 211; Baylies, wh. has a valu. note in IV. 53-6; and Coffin's Newbury, 401, 2. Rev. Richard, ment. as min. of Stratford on Avon, 2596, by honest Anthony Wood in his Athenae, was, perhaps, his gr.f. but he does not tell of his acquaint. with Shakespear.
BYLES, JONATHAN, Beverly m. 16 Nov. 1674, Elizabeth d. of John Patch of Salem, had Richard, b. 3 Nov. foll. and perhaps more. JOSIAH, Boston, a sadler, came from Winchester, Co. Hants, with w. Sarah, but bef. com. may have had ch. tho. the date is so uncert. that, I fear, he may hard. be entitl. to room here. Certain. he was in B. 1695, yet not bef. 11 Oct. 1696 did he join with that ch. of whose pastor in 7 yrs. he m. the d. By w. Sarah, says our rec. he had Samuel, bapt. 11 Oct. 1696, wh. d. young; James, b. 7 bapt. 8 Oct. 1699; Sarah, 24, bapt. 28 Sept. 1701, and Samuel, again, 30 Jan. bapt. 7 Feb. 1703, soon aft. wh. the mo. d. For sec. w. he took, 6 Oct. 1703, Elizabeth wid. of William Greenough, f. of Rev. Increase Mather, had Mather, 15, bapt. 16 Mar. 1707, H. C. 1725, a min. of some note, a wit. of remarka. charact. in Boston. RICHARD, Gloucester, eldest ch. of Jonathan, by w. Mary had Charles, b. 1700; Mary, 1702; John, 1704; Martha, 1706; Sarah 1710; Elizabeth 1713; Alexander, 1716; and Jonathan, 1719; rem. to Beverly 1727. His w. d. Jan. 1746; and he d. at gr. age, 23 Feb. 1771.
BYLEY, HENRY, Salisbury, tanner, an orig. sett. 1639, came in the Bevis from Southampton, 1638, aged 26, with sis. Mary, 22. He had liv. at Salisbury, O. E. where he left w. Rebecca, to wh. in let. of 11 Oct. 1638 from Newbury, bef. sett. at S. he wrote of the d. of his only br. but adds, that his sis. and serv. were well. He prays her to come over with Mr. Dow, and other friends, prepar. to come, or with Mr. Peter Noyes, "wh. is now a. to take ship," i. e. to go from here to Eng. to bring his fam. hither; and utters his hope, that she "had been safely deliv. of her ch. and thus made a joyful mo. of childr." but he d. early. His wid. m. 3 Apr. 1641, Mr. John Hall; and third h. 22 July 1650, Rev. William Worcester; and for fourth h. had dep.-gov. Samuel Symonds, outliv. him, and d. 221 July 1695. Coffin, in Geneal. Reg. VI. 246, and 341, has strangely confus. this mo. with her d. Rebecca, wh. m. 15 Dec. 1664, Rev. John Hale. JOHN, perhaps of Salisbury, and br. of the preced. came in the same sh. from Eng. 1638, aged 20.
BYNNS, JONAS, Dover 1654. Coffin.
BYRAM, NICHOLAS, Weymouth 1638, a physician, m. a d. of Abraham Shaw of Dedham; rem. a. 1662 to Bridgewater, was a capt. had sec. w. a sis. of Rev. James Keith, and d. 1687. His d. Abigail, wh. m. 22 or 27 Nov. 1656, Thomas Whitman, of W. and most of the other ch. Nicholas, Ebenezer, Josiah, Joseph, Mary, beside a d. Bass, are believ. to have been of first w. Ano. d. Experience, wh. m. sec. deac. John Willis, was, perhaps, b. by the sec. w. Rev. Eliab, H. C. 1740, min. at Hopewell, N. J. was descend. of Ebenezer. [[vol. 1, p. 327]]
CABELL, GEORGE, Boston, among taxab. inhab. 1695. JOHN, Springfield 1636, had come to N. E. 1631, or earlier, had John, b. 12 Jan. 1641; and soon after rem. to Fairfield, where both f. and s. are in the list of freem. 1669, and he m. for sec. w. Ann, wid. of Roger Betts of Branford. The s. wh. wrote his name Cable, d. 1673. No ch. foll. this sec. w. prob. for in her will of 6 Feb. 1674, Samuel B. her s. was made heir, and to her other ch. she gave 5s. ea. SAMUEL, New Haven 1646.
CAD, or CADD, BARTHOLOMEW, Boston, merch. d. 1665, leav. wid. Mary to admin. upon his est. as in Prob. rec. IV. 227, and 8 appears to be good, compris. one third of a vessel, ho. and ld. near the new meeting ho. and ld. at Casco, apprais. 14 June. By the exquis. dilig. of Mr. Trask, in Genal. Reg. XIII. 156, I was led to scrutinize the hopes of his origin; but among m. or b. I find nothing, nor does the labor of Willis, in Hist. of Portland, enlighten us. Even for any surname, begin. with C. I find no Bartholomew.
CADY, or CADE, AARON, Canterbury, prob. youngest s. of Nicholas, by first w. had James, b. at Watertown, 15 Nov. 1682; and by sec. w. Mercy, d. of Joshua Fuller, at C. had Aaron, 1718. BENJAMIN, Andover, m. 16 Feb. 1664, Mary d. of Robert Keyes of Newbury; but no more is kn. DANIEL, Groton, s. of Nicholas, by w.

Abigail had Ephriam, 19 Feb. 1705. JAMES, Hingham 1635, came, it is said from Wales, or the West of Eng. (wh. is very loose), with three s. rem. to Boston with w. Margaret, had Mary, b. 4 Oct. 1640, rem. soon to Yarmouth. JAMES, Watertown, s. of Nicholas, m. 14 June 1678, Hannah, d. of Ellis Barron, rem. to Groton, had there Elizabeth b. 10 Apr. 1686; and he d. 2 Dec. 1690. JOHN, Groton, eldest br. of the preced. by w. Joanna had Jonathan, b. 22 Jan. 1694; and Joanna, 14 Oct. 1695; by sec. w. Elizabeth had John, 7 Aug. 1699; Elizabeth 5 Mar. 1701; rem. to Canterbury, had William, 1704; Eleazer, 1708; and Ebenezer, 1714. JONATHAN, Rowley, m. 12 Nov. 1667, Esther Chandler of Andover.

Sarah had Joseph, b. 3 Oct. 1690; James, 22 Nov. 1694; Isaac, 17 Jan. 1697; Abigail, 22 June 1699; and Stephen, 16 June 1701; rem. to a planta. in Conn. often call. Killingly, there had more ch. of wh. David, b. Sept. 1703, was gr.f. of Albe C. of Concord, N. H. Esq. NICHOLAS, Watertown 1645, by w.

Aaron. He sold his est. a. 1668, and rem. to Groton, but the last of his W. est. he sold not bef. 29 Apr. 1680. RICHARD, Mass. 1652
