RICHARD, Ipswich, s. of the preced. by his f. brot. 1630, hav. left the Univ. of Cambridge, where he was entr. at Emanuel Coll. as a fellow commoner, 18 Apr. 1627, from Yorksh. and matricula. 14 Dec. foll. adm. freem. of Mass. 18 Oct. 1631, and next mo. went home, by circuitous voyage of six wks. to Virg. and m. in Eng. a. 1633, Meriel, d. of Brampton Gurdon of Assington, Co. Suff'k. near the ancestr. resid. of our first Gov. Winth. and emb. on return in the Susan and Ellen 1635, with that w. aged 22, and d. of the same name, was rep. in Mar. 1636 and foll. sess. until chos. an Assist. in May 1637, and in 1641 was made first offic. under Endicott, of the Essex regim. when only two were in the Col. went home again, perhaps for the health of his w. 1649, as told in the anecdote relat. of Rev. John Cotton in note to Hutch. I. 94. For many yrs. he was not chos. Assist. but in 1664 in hope of his com. again, the honor was renew. and it was erron. assert. that he had been aft. in the country, bec. in 1672 he gave L50. to relief of Goffe and Whalley, the regicides. In 1680, however, he once more in Mass. and in May organizat. made an Assist. tak. the o. in Aug. wh. was renew. in 1681 and 2, but in this latter yr. he went home again, as the hope of preserv. liberty under the old chart. evapora. and d. 20 or 29 Apr. 1694, at Hulme, in Lancashire, at the ho. of Sir Edward Morley, wh. m. his eldest d. Other ch. were Richard, wh. d. young, prob. unm. certain. and Nathaniel, bef. ment. also Abigail, wh. m. Thomas Harley, s. of Sir Robert, and uncle to the famous Robert, prime min. of Queen Anne, the friend of Pope and Swift, well kn. as Earl of Oxford (see Collin's Peerage, IV. 244, Ed. 5, and correct the slight error there); beside Eliz. wh. m. Hercules Horsey, Esq. Instruct. may be got as to the just value of tradit. from a note in Hutch. II. 122, in wh. is read the story of a letter from Mrs. Harley to her sis. in N. E. that was many yrs. preserv. aft. the d. of that disting. statesman, for this pas- sage in it; "I am now going to carry Bob. up to the inns of ct. to make a man of him," and Hutch. wh. seldom falls into such an error, makes the mo. "gr.d. of Sir Richard S." and this H. introduc. by refer. to "a tradit. that Harley had some N. E. blood in him, his mo. being a gr.d. of Sir Richard S." Now beside that this gr.d. of Sir Richard S. had no sis. here to write unto, the tale is false in the most vital pt. as usual, for she, being w. of his uncle, not of his f. could transmit no blood to he Lord High Treasurer. SCRANTON, DENNIS, New Haven 1660, gave informat. perhaps rather minute, than trustworthy, about Whalley and Goffe, to Gov. Endicott's pursuivants in 1661. See Hutch. Coll. 335 for the curious codum. But they mistook the name, and should have writ. Crampton. SPERRY, RICHARD, New Haven 1643, sw. freem. 1644, had Ebenezer, b. July, bapt. 30 Aug. 1663; and Daniel, 1665; beside Esther, wh. m. 21 June 1683, Daniel Hotchkiss; had liv. on the W. side of the rock, a. one mile from the cave, where Goffe and Whalley, the regicides, enjoy. their hiding, and he had supplied them, with food; was a propr. 1685, as were JOHN, RICHARD Jun. NATHANIEL, and THOMAS, perhaps his s. Mary, prob. his d. m. 29 Mar. 1670, Benjamin Peck. JOHN m. Eliz. wh. next m. Benjamin Bunnell; and THOMAS m. 18 Nov. 1684, Eliz. d. of Samuel Fernes. TAPPAN, TAPIN, TAPPIN, TOPPING, TOPAN, or TAPPING
JAMES, Milford, by w. Ann had Ann, b. 18 or 29 Sept. 1662; James, 19 Aug. 1665; Mary, 15 or 18 Aug. 1668; Eliz. 3 Aug. 1673, d. 18 Feb. foll.; and he d. 6 Aug. 1712; and his wid. d. 7 Feb. 1732. Ann m. 6 Dec. 1683, Thomas Ward of Middletown, where all the ch. exc. the first were b. He was in May 1661 one of the three men appoint. by the magistr. to make search for the regicides Whalley and Goffe; and their ret. on the precept, aft. three days, was that they had made dilig. search, and so easi. satisf. the author. He was in 1667 propound. to be freem. but Middletown ret. is lost in the list of 1669. TEMPLE
THOMAS, an Eng. knight and baronet, came to Boston, with favor of appoint. by Cromwell to be Gov. of Acadia, in 1657, assoc. with Col. Crowne, as grantee of Nova Scotia, spent many yrs this side of the water, speculat. in the lds. far and near, join the ch. of Increase Mather in June 1670, yet was careful to hold good terms with Charles II. (wh. renew, his office of Gov.) with wh. in former yrs. he interpos. his kind offices to befriend N. E. One mark of this I copied in the State Paper office at London, July 1842, being his letter to Secr. Morrice from Boston, Aug. 1661, about the regicides, Whalley and Goffe, with a very curious one from Rev. John Davenport, on the same subject, addressed to Temple. The clerg. beats the courtier on that topic; but allowance is to be made for the cause, inasmuch as Temple was sincere, we may well suppose, and be more sure that Davenport was not. He thought a little equivocation justifiable for the glory of God,and safety of the prescribed. A pleasant anecdote is relat. by Hutchinson of T.'s persuad. the king, that the pine tree on the coin struck in Boston, was the royal oak that saved his majesty. I doubt not, this is as near the truth as tradit. oft. reaches; perhaps it was uttered by the traveller to our friend the Earl of Manchaster, or even to the Earl of Clarendon, whose well-tried loyalty quarrelled not with discretion; and in the way of trifling not uncommon in that court, may possib. tho. I think not, have got up to the throne. If the merry monarch had been ill-natured eno. to ask what the date, 1652, meant. Sr. Thomas must have had awk- ward sensations. He d. in London, 27 Mar. 1674, had left at B. a will of 14 Oct. 1671, pro. 28 July 1674, but all the excors. Gov. Leverett capt. Lake, capt. Hull, and John Richards, immediat. renounced the office, prob. thro. fear that the debts would much exceed the means. Ano. will had been pro. the very day bef. at the Prerog. Ct. Doctor's Commons, made 27 Mar. of that yr. so that the first, wh. may be found in our Prob. Vol. VI. 59, is supersed. by this if I. 327. WARD
LAWRENCE, New Haven 1639, or soon aft. rem. to Branford 1646, was br. of George of thee same, in 1661 was employ. by the governm. of New Haven to search for the Regicides, Whalley and Goffe, at Milford, where it was prob. kn. they were not to be seen; rep. 1665 and 6, aft. wh he rem. to N. J. and d. 1671, at Newark. Seven ch. b. at B. belong. either to him, or to John Ward, viz. Sarah, 22 May 1650; John, 29 May 1654; Samuel, 22 Sept. 1656; Hannah, 20 Nov. 1658; Eliz. 24 Jan. 1660; Dorcas, 10 May 1662; and Abigail, 20 Apr. 1665. |
