daughter Hannah, wife of William Ticknor 40s. To daughter Sarah
10£ at marriage, or at 21 years of age. To wife Mary, all my
household goods, and to eldest son Charles all my working tools."
Charles, the only son that surrired, succeeded to the poisession of
the mills and the Mansion-house near it. In 1665 he purchased
George Russell's half of the mill. He also built, (by contract) the 2d.
water-mill in the Town of Plymouth 1676. in 1673, he was allowed
by the Town, '^ 30 acres of land on the 3d. Herring brook, on
condition that ' he erect a Corn-mill on that brook, and keep and
tend the mill fourteen years.' " The mill was built 1 677, (now
Jonah's mill, so called). He married Abigail • His children, were
Abigail bom at Charlestown 1660, (says our Record), John born
1662, at Boston, and died early, and at Scituate were born Charles
1663, Sarah 1665, (wife' of Israel Turner,) Elizabeth 1670, (wife of
David Turner,) Joseph born 1672, Benjamin 1677, Samuel 1679.
Charles, sen. died 1683, intestate, his estate divided 1684, ^' to
Charles, oldest son, (surviving) land at 3d* Herring brook, and half
the corn-mill and three fourths of the saw-mill there : To Thomas,
land also on 3d. Herring brook, half the corn-mill, and one fourth of
the saw-mill : to Joseph, 50 acres of land in Duxbury, near Indian-
head river, (now Pembroke — where late William Torrey, Esq.
deceased,) also the reversion of a house of Hester Stockbridge in
Scituate : to Abigail, wife of Henry Josselyn 18£. To Sarah and
Elizabeth 17j& each. To widow Abigail, all the house, land, corn-mill
and saw-mill on 1st. Herring brook, until Samuel the youngest be of
age, then Benjamin to have the above, except the parlour." (Probate
Record). Abigail, the widow, married Amos Turner, before 1700.
Charles left daughters, but no son that survived. Thomas setded at
the mill on the 3d. Herrmg brook : he left but one son, Thomas bom
1702. His grandson Stephen deceased on the same place 1800.
Joseph married Margaret Turner, daughter of Joseph Turner, and
removed to Duxbury, (now Pembroke) where his lands were
situated. He lived to more than 100 years of age. His son Joseph
married Ann Turner — and his son David married Deborah, daughter
of Judge John Cushing, David, Esq. his son, is now living in Hanover.
Benjamin married Mary Tilden 1701, and succeeded to the old
Stockbridge Mansion and mills, by purchase, in part, of his brother
Samuel. His son, Dr. Benjamb bom 1704, was Digiti zed by Google

who settled in Scituate. He was educated under Dr. Bulfinch, of
Boston, and succeeded to the Stockbridge Mansion. There is
undoubted testimony, that he was the great physician of his day. His
account books exhibit sufficient evidence, that he was a consulting
physician in difficult cases, in a circle, embracing the whole country
from Falmouth to Worcester, and to Ipswich. He is remembered by a
few aged people, as having held the reputation of the first physician
of the time, and not the reputation of quackery, but that of an
enlightened benefactor to mankind.* He is described as a gentleman
of wit and taste, eminently pleasing in his own hospitable mansion,
and the delight of literary society : and we may add, that he had
made attainments in the science of music which were rare at that
time. His wife was Ruth Otis, (daughter of Job). His only survivbg
son, Dr. Charles born 1734, succeeded him in his mansion and his
profession. He was educated in medicine by his father, and attained
to a high reputation. Like his father, he was pleasing in his manners,
and accomplished in all literature, and tasteful arts. Dr. Charles born
1790, his only son, deceased early, after having commenced the
practice of medicine. Samuel^ (son of Charles, sen.) married Lydia,
daughter of William Barrell 1703, and settled at Mount Blue. His
descendants are in that vicinity. James, his grandson, deceased
1819, leaving a family — his widow, Martha (Dunbar before married)
deceased 1829, aged 91. The father of James was Samuel, who
married Sarah Tilden 1737. DANIEL STANDLAKE, (since Stanley,) was
a freeman in Scituate 1636. He settled amongst the men of Kent, on
Kent street, the 3d. lot south side of " the drift way." There is no
record of his children. His daughter Jane married Thomas PIncin
1639. He had one son Richard, whose house was on the west side of
Walnut Tree hill, near that of Comet John Buck. His children, Joanna
born 1661, Lydia born 1664, (wife of Benjamin Sylvester) Mary 1665,
Daniel 1669, Abigail 1671. This family removed soon after 1700. We
observe in the Colony Record 1684, " Daniel Standlake (in the * Dr.
Benjamin educated many young geDtlemen in Medicine, from
Boston, and other towns, amongst whom we may name the

to hove the males toward maintenance of the children." Richard
StandJake deceased 1691. His will gives 'Mo wife Lydia, all my estate
to distribute to the children at her discretion. Codicil — my will is
that my daughters Joanna, Lydia, Mary and Abigail share equally in
the meadow lands." There is no posterity of this famfly remaiimig
here, save that of Jabez Stanley, the natural son of Jabez Rose and
AbigaO Stanley or Standlake bom 1700. He married Deborah Turner
1731, Jabez, jr. married Mary Thrift 1765^ bad sods Jabex and
Calvin, who probably removed. Dea. SAMUEL STODDER, from
Hinghara, settled on the west side of Brushy hill 16M. His children,
Leah 1696, Rachel 1698, Seth 1700, (died 1719) Elizabeth 1702,
Mary 1704, Sarah 1709. He married a 8d. wife, viz. widow Sandi
Melius 1749. He died 1762, aged 93. BENJAMIN STODDER, brother
of the above, probably, married Mary, daughter of Israel Sylvester,
sen. 1706, and lived in the west part of the Town. His children,
Benjamin 1706, Maiy 1711, Elisha 1715, Elijah 1719, Isaiah 1723.

The families of this name in this vicinity all descended from John
Stodder of Hingham, who married Hannah, daughter of John Bryant
of Scituate, 1665. ABRAHAM SUTUFFE sold lands in Scituate to
Thomas Ingham 1640: also to John Scockbridge, ^^ north-east of
the Mill." He had a house north of Stockbridge's (as it was afterward
built). He was livbg 1659 when ^* ^rsiham Sutlifie and Sarah his

Abraham, whose house in 1670 was at the foot of Curtis hill, north
side of the road on the margin of the brook. He was succeeded by
Samuel Curtis of York. GEORGE SUTTON had lands laid put in 1638,
on the 1st. Herring brook. His house was near John Daman's at the
south-west end of Green field lane, where it unites with the Drift
way. He married Sarah, the wife of Elder Nathaniel Tilden, 1641.
Children, John 1642,Lydia 1646, Sarah 1648, (died early,) Sarah
1650, Elizabeth 1653. John purchased Conihassett lands, south of
Booth hill and near Bound brook. His house was near the Brook, a
half mile south of that hill. He was an Ensign in Philip's war with
Capt. Williams. He married Elizabeth, daughter of Samuel House,

names in his wH — "wife Elizabeth, children, John, Nathaniel,
Nathan, Elizabeth,' Mary, Sarah, Hester." There was a Simon Sutton,
who bore arms in Scituate 1643 : but soon disappears. John Sutton,
who died at Rehoboth 1670, may have been his son. Ichabod Cook
now occupies the farm that was John Sutton's in 1750. Capt.
THOMAS SOUTHWORTH, from Duxbury, son of Dea, James
Southworth, and a descendant of Constant Southworth, an early
settler of Duxbury, came into Scituate in 1800. He married Sarah,
the daughter of Dea. Elisha James. He was a shipmaster, and an
intelligent and exceedingly amiable man. He deceased at New
Orleans, on a voyage in 1819. His mansion house stood near the
gate that leads to the " Block house," and was unfortunately burnt in
1823 — and was replaced by the much smaller house which
occupies the spot. His widow survives, and also his children, Capt.
James, Lucy, Nathan, Thomas, Temperance and George. THOMAS
STAR, son of " Comfort Star, who came from Ashford, Kent, Eng. in
1633, and settled in Cambridge," (Farmer,) was in Scituate 1644. His
son Comfort was born 1644, and his daughter Elizabeth 1646. He
removed to Yarmouth in 1648 or 9. Me* IS styled Surgeon, and is
noticed in Dr. Thatcher's Medical Biography as living at Yarmouth in
1670. John Star of Bridgewater in 1645, may have been another!
son of Comfort Star of Cambridge. His descendants, Joseph, (with
his sons Joseph and Robert) resided on the east margin ' of the
Nippinicket pond, until 1800 j at which time they removed to Maine.
Comfort Star, (another son of Comfort of Cambridge,) graduated at
Harvard College 1647, and, (according to Farmer's register) was a
minister at Carlisle, in Cumberland, Eng, — and afterward at Lewis,
m Sussex, where he died 1711. RICHARD SYLVESTER was m
Weymouth 1633. We find that he gained an unfortunate notoriety by
espousing certain religious sentiments, too liberal for the age in
which he lived. Mr. Robert Leothali hii Digiti zed by Google

the sentiment) '^ That aJU baptized persons should be admitted to
the Communion without further trial." (Magnalia I. 222.) This was a
heresy to be noticed by Government, and he was ordered to retract
in presence of the General Court ; with which order he complied.
Richard Sylvester, who held the same opinion, adhered to it, and in
consequence was fined and disfranchised by the Govemr ment. This
put him upon removing from the Colony, and he came to Scituate
1642. Thomas Rawlins, Thomas Clap, James Torrey and William
Holbrook, came about the same time, and probably on account of
holding the same sentiments* Sylvester settled in Marshfield, or
rather in that part of Scituate called ^'the Two miles." He married
the sister of Capt. William Torrey. His children were Lydia born 1633,
John 1634, Peter 1637, Joseph 1638, Dinah 1642, Elizabeth 1643,
Richard 1648, Naomi 1649, Israel 1651, Hester 1653, Benjamin
1656. We observe an anecdote in Winthrop's Journal, respecting the
unfortunate death of one of the above children* (Vol. S« p. 77. See
also Vol. I. 289.) " Richard Sylvester havmg three small children, he
and his wife going to the assembly upon the Lord's day, left them at
home. The oldest was without doors lookmg to some catde. The
middlemost, being a son of about five years old, seeing his father's
fowling piece stand in the chimney, took it and laid it upon a stool,
as he had seen his father do, and pulled up the cock, the spring
being weak, and put down the hammer,, thea went to the other end,
and blowed in the mouth of the piece, as he had seen his father also
do, and with that, stirring the piece, it went oflT and shot the child
into the mouth and through his head. When the father came home,
be found his child dead ; the youngest child (being but three ^rears
old) showed him the whole manner of it." We find a fair record, that
Peter bom 1637, died 1642 — the date of the anecdote in Winthrop :
and also, we find that the two elder sons John and Joseph survived
and left families. Richard Sylvester deceased 1663, He names in his
will, John, Joseph, Israel, Richard, Benjamin, Lydia, Dinah, Elizabeth,
Naomi, Hester. The same year, ** Richard Sylvester's widow, Naomi,

stood where that of Mr. Samuel Waterman now stands. (See military
afiairs). He was Capt. under Col. Church, in the Eastern Expedition

Richard sold his Weymouth farm to John Holbrook 1650. THOMAS
TART was a Conihassett partner 1646. He was here 1640, when he
is mentioned as a shop-keeper in the Colony Records. He built the
first house on the ancient EUmes farm, which he sold to Rhodolphus
Ellmes 1659. In the deed, he is then called of Barbadoes. His
daughter EJizabeth married Thomas Williams (we believe of Boston)
1638. ISAAC TAYLOR, from Massachusetts and probably from
Concord, was in Scituate as early as 1686. He had several children
baptized in the 2d. Church, viz. Isaac 1693, Mary 1696, (who was
the wife of Mr. Nathaniel Brooks in 1723) Jonathan 1698, David
1700. The latter left a daughter on record, viz. Delight bora 1732,

records. Benjamin Taylor married Anna Bates 1720, and John
married Elizabeth Gilford 1730. Whose sons they were, it does not

which year he married Hannah^ the daughter of John Stockbridge,
and succeeded to the mansion house of his father in law at the
Harbour, (Mr. Stockbridge having removed to Boston about that
time). Serj. Tickner was engaged in agriculture, navigation and
mercantile pursuits. His '^warehouse'' is mentioned in our records in
1660. His farm was three fourths of a mile south-west from the
harbour, now the well known place of Abijah Otis. He was often
enfaged in municipal affairs, as selectman, assessor, surveyor, be. [e
was also in Philip's war in 1676, being a Serjeant b Gen. Cudworth's
guard or " particular company." We find the names of his children,
by recurring to the baptisms in the 2d. Church in Scituate ; and from
the circunv* stance of his having belonged to that church, we know
that he was ot the moderate parly of Puritans. (See Chap, on
Ecclesiastical History.) His son John was baptized May 1659, and
William 1664* His wife Hannah deceased in 1665, and he married
Deborah, the daughter of Thomas Hyland : she also deceased 1693,
and her husband was then living, The latter wife left no children,
that we have discovered. John, the eldest son, deceased m 1665.

town. He married Lydia, the daughter of Dea. Joseph Tilden, 1696.
His children were Hannah, bom 1697, John 1699, William 1700,

George Ticknor bom 1791. He graduated at Dartmouth 1807, and
was educated for the Bar, under direction of Hon. William Sullivan.

Spanish Literature, and Professor of ceUes Lettres m Harvard

south of Greenfield lane. He had also lands at Long marsh: and
lands also in 1640, on the east side of the North River, bebw Gravelly
beach. We have not learned the name of his wife. His children were
bom in England, and were Dea. Joseph, Thomas, Mary, Sarah,
Judith, Lydia, and Stephen, bom, as nearly as we can conjecture,
from 1615 to 1627. Of the daughters, Mary was the wife of Thomas
Lapham, Sarah the wife of George Sutton, Judith the wife of
Abraham Prebble, and Lydia the wife of Richard Garret, all of
Scituate. Dea. Josqph succeeded to his father's residence in Kent

John had lands contiguous to his brother Nathaniel's farm, but
leavmg no children, they were inherited by Joseph the son of
Nathaniel. Joseph (last named) married Sarah, the daughter of
Timothy White 1710, and bad two sons, John bom 1715, and Job
1725. The posterity of Job, probably are in Hanover. John married
Sybil 1744, and succeeded to his father's residence. His children
were Thomas born 1743, Mary 1750, Sarah 1756. Thomas married
Abigail Hatch 1766, succeeded to his father's residence, and had

North river, between Gravelly beach and Union bridge, whose son
Samuel was born 1689, (by a first wife) his 2d. wife was Sarah Curtis

Samuel was bom 1718. The latter was the father of the venerable
Dea. Samuel Tilden, now living, aged 94, and occupying lands which
his family has possessed since 1640. He is the patriarch of three
numerous generations : his sons are Capt. Samuel, Capt. Jotham,
Charles, Elisha, Dr. Calvin, Benjamin, Capt. Luther, Hatch, and
Nathan. Benjamin (the youngest son of Dea. Joseph) had a farm in
Marshfield on the North river, a part of the lands above mentioned.
He died unmarried in 1693, and left his lands to his " seven brothers
and sisters," and not naming John, we conclude he had before

Thomas was on the roll of those that bore arms m Scituate 1643

Tilden) married Hannah, daughter of Thomas Litde (of Plymouth and

Christopher, baptized in the first Church in Scituate 1712. The latter
married Sarah Parrot of Boston, and there resided. He was the father
of the late Maj. David Tilden of Boston (whose sons were David,
Christopher, James and Nathaniel) and of the late Capt. Joseph
Tilden, also of Boston (whose sons are Joseph, Bryant P. and
William, ) and of the accomplished wife of late Judge Nathan

who came to Plymouth in the Ann, 1623. He may have been a
brother of Elder Nathaniel, but could not have been his son. There
was a Joseph Tilden also amongst "the Merchant Adventurers" in
London 1626, who was probably another brother of the same family.
