(1) No mention is made of this letter in the printed journal of the Council of War. The letter is printed verbatim with the addition of punctuation marks, of which there are none in the original.
(2) Of John Talcott we have already spoken--ante, vol. xxiii. p. 174. He was appointed, by the General Court, May 15, 1676, Commander-in-chief with the rank of Major, of the force consisting of 350 men which was then ordered to be raised for the defence of the colony. His instructions, printed in Conn. Col. Rec. ii. 444, order him to march first to Norwich.
(3) May 26, 1676 the date of Capt. Newbury's letter, occurred on Friday; consequently the "alarum" must have taken place on the morning of May 25th. We never met with any mention of this affair till the original of Capt. Newbury's letter was placed in our hands; nor have we since, though we have made diligent inquiry for further information concerning the attack.
(4) We are at a loss to know to whom the pronoun refers. Undoubtedly the name of the person was omitted through inadvertence.
(5) This mill was built in 1670, and was situated about three miles north of the village of Hadley, in a lonely spot on Mill river. Judd tells us, in his history of that town, that to small garrison was kept in this mill during Philip's war, though sometimes it consisted of only two or three men. It was burnt in September, 1677, by a party of Indians who made an attack on Hatfield.
(6) It will be remembered that Northampton, where Capt. Newbury made his headquarters, is situated on the west bank of the Connecticut, directly opposite Hadley.

Note 1.

Captain Benjamin Newbery took a prominent part in the political and military affairs of the colony. His father, Thomas Newbery, was one of the earliest settlers of Dorchester, Mass., and one of its largest landed proprietors; he died in 1636, on the eve of his departure with his family for Connecticut, leaving a widow with her two sons Benjamin and Thomas, and two daughters, Mary, who married Daniel Clark (1); and Sarah, who married Henry Wolcott. Being well descended, wealthy and connected by marriage with some of the best families of the colony, the Newberys occupied an honorable position among their neighbors.

Benjamin Newbery married June 11, 1646, Mary, daughter of Matthew Allyn, and sister of Col. John Allyn (2), for thirty years the honored Secretary of the Colony. By her he had Mary, born March 10, 1647, married John Marshall in 1664, and had eight children; Sarah, born June 14, 1650, married Capt. Preserved Clapp, June 4, 1688; Hannah, born Dec. 22, 1652; Rebecca, born May 2, 1655; Thomas, born Sept. 1, 1657; Abigail, born March 14, 1659, married Ephraim Howard, Jan. 8, 1684; Margaret, born Oct. 23, 1662, married Return Strong, May 23, 1689; Benjamin, born April 20, 1669; and Hannah, born July 1, 1673, married John Wolcott, Dec. 17, 1703, died Oct. 17, 1718.

He was admitted to full communion with the church at Windsor, April 11, 1658. In 1662 he was chosen deputy from Windsor to the general court, and served at nearly every session till 1685, when he was chosen an assistant, to which office he had been often nominated-first in 1663. He was frequently a commissioner for Windsor. June 26, 1672, he was made second military officer of the county of Hartford under Capt. John Talcott; Aug. 7, 1673, on the breaking out of the troubles with the Dutch, he was appointed one of the "Grand Committee," afterwards known as the "Council of War," to whom, during the time intervening between the sessions of the general assembly, was delegated nearly all the authority vested in that body; Aug. 6, 1675, he was made Captain of one hundred dragoons, ordered to be raised in the county of Hartford. During Philip's war he rendered good service to the colony at Northampton, Hadley and elsewhere. At a meeting of the council of war on the 20th of May, 1676, on receiving intelligence of the great "Falls Fight," which occurred near Deerfield on the previous morning, Capt. Newbery was ordered to march to Northampton, at the head of eighty men, "upon Munday next." which was the 22d day of the month; and a letter from Northampton dated the 24th, gives an account of his movements up to the time of writing. He received from Andros a commission as justice of the peace, and died soon afterwards--Sept. 11, 1689. His widow survived him several years, and died Dec. 14, 1703.

Text: FAMILY OF JOHN ADAMS OF PLYMOUTH

JOHN¹ ADAMS arrived at Plymouth in the Fortune, Nov. 9, 1621. He died in 1633. His Widow Ellen, presented "an inventory of the goods and chattels of her late husband, John Adams, deceased, upon oath, Nov. 11, 1633, and whereas the said John died without a will, it was ordered that if in the case the said Ellen shall have an inclination to marry, she before her said marriage, estate the threee children of her former husband deceased, James, John and Susan, in £5 sterling apiece to be paid when they come to years of discretion according to the Statutes of England." [Plymouth Colonial Court Records, quoted by J. H. Hatch, Esq.] She is sometimes called Eleanor and Helen. She is supposed to have been Ellen Newton, to whom land was granted in 1623, among those who came in the Ann. [Savage's Genealogical Dictionary, vol. 1, p. 10; Baylie's New Plymouth, Pt. I, p. 260] In June 1634, she married Kenelm Winslow, of Marshfield, and died in that town. She was buried Dec. 5, 1681, "being 83 years old." [ Dr. Holton's Winslow Memorial, vol 1, p. 73, quoting record.]

Children of John Adams and Ellen Newton:
2. i. James Adams, married Frances, daughter of Mr. William Vassel, in Scituate, June 16, 1646.
3. ii. John Adams, married 1st, Jane James, 1654; married 2nd, Elizabeth — about 1663
iii. Susan Adams.

3. JOHN² ADAMS (John¹) settled first in Marshfield. "He dwelt near Mount Skirgo, an elevation of the Marshfield bounds of the forest which lies between this town and Pembroke."
[Miss Thomas's Memorials of Marshfield, p. 37] John was admitted a freeman of Plymouth Colony, June 1, 1658. He was a witness in a case of manslaughter, Jan 1654-5; a grand-juryman June, 1658; a member of a coroner's jury, July, 1658; and was appointed a constable of Marshfield, June 8, 1660. He subsequently removed to Flushing, Long Island, as is shown by a deed on record at Plymouth, Bk. iii. p. 127. The following is an abstact of an attested copy by William S. Danforth, register of deeds.

"Captain John Adams, of the towne of Flushinge, in Long Island in New England, America," sells Dec. 10, 1666, to "Nathaniel Warren of the Towne of Plymouth in the jurisdiction of Plymouth in New England, in America, " &c. "all that my share lot and portion of land att or neare a place commonly called and knowne by the name of Nama Nakett in the jurisdiction of Plymouth, aforesaid, which was granted unto mee the said JohnAdams as being one of the children of the old comers of the said Jurisdictin according to grant of the court for the jurisdiction of Plymouth aforesaid bearing date the third day of June An° Dom: one thousand six hundred and sixty and two [See list of grantees in Plymouth Colony Records (Boston, 1855), vol iv. p. 19.] being the twenty eighth part of the tract of land purchased by Captaine Thomas Southworth of the Indain Sachem named Josias Wampatuck in the behalf of said court." and also share of lands "purchased by Major winslow lying and being att Namassakeesett ponds." signed by John Adams and the mark of Elizabeth Adams, his wife.

After learning that John and Elizabeth Adams had removed to Flushing, I wrote to Henry Onderdonk Jr., Esq. , of Jamaica, L. I. , for any records he maght have of John Adams, of Flushing, and received in February ,1878, the following valuable memoranda, from his manuscript collections relative to Long Island history, which he has kindly permitted me to print: [recall that the Quakers did not use the pagan names of the months of the year, but used the number of the month, March being the first month. The order of dates is day, month, and year]

Children of John Adams and his first wife Joane:
Mary, born 3, 5, 1656.
Martha, born 4, 1, 1658.
Rebecca, born 13, 12 1661; married Henry Clifford, of Flushing, 29, 3, 1686.

Children of John Adams and his second wife Elizabeth:
John, born 17, 6 , 1664; died 4, 8, 1665.
Elizabeth, born 9, 1, 1665. [married 23, 1, 1692, William Hollingshead]
Sarah, born 28, 2, 1668.
James, born 4, 8, 1671.
Susanna, born 6, 9,1674.
Hannah, born 15, 12, 1675.
Deborah, born 7, 3, 1678.
John, born 10, 7, 1680; died 30, 10, 1688.
Abigail, born 2, 11, 1682.
Thomas, born 12, 11, 1684.
Marsey, born 13, 10, 1686.
Phebe, born 9, 12, 1690.

John and Elizabeth Adams were Friends or Quakers; and were both living in 1690; do not know where they died. In 1678 John gave a long narrative of his being a persecutor of Friends in New England when he was a constable; He was a sober young man, but full of vanity. He was a member of the Independent Congregational Church for many years; he had a wife and children there, but by God"s Providence he was brought to Flushing; having first taken from him his dear wife Joane. He went to sea at her decease for two years.

John Adams was converted to Quakerism by the preaching of John Burnyeat and John Stubbs, preachers in New England [which then included Long Island east of Oyster Bay.] John had meetings at his house. In 1667 he was a leading member of the Meeting at Flushing. In 1684 the meeting lent him some money to pay for a negro he had bought as a loborer on his farm. His name appears in Meeting records in 1667—1673. In 1691 he sold his farm at Bayside, Flushing, to John Rodman, of Block Island." [end of Onderdonk information]

In a subsequent letter Mr. Onderdonk says, in reply to the suggestion that Joane and Jane were identical names:
"Joane and Jane I think to be the same name. John and Elzabeth Adams exchanged their farm of 130 acres in Flushing, for house, 500 Acres of land and £190 cash, in West New Jersey, June 4, 1691. John's confession, in which he gives an account of his life, was made to the Meeting. He was charged with going over to the Ranters, a noisy faction of Friends. He retracts his error, and therein gives a long account of his opinions, and how God controlled his actions, &c. &c. It was a case of discipline, and of course not printed. I copied all of it that was not torn off years ago, because I thought it so interesting; and so with the births; and you are the first that has applied to me for that knowledge."
John² Adam's last child, Rebecca, by his first wife, Joane, was born Feb 13, 1661, probably 1661-62, and his first child, John, by his second wife, Elizabeth, was born Aug. 17, 1664. His wife Jane, or Joane, probably died soon after the birth of Rebecca, as he states in the document quoted by Mr. Onderdonk, that he went to sea for two years after the death of his first wife, before settling at Flushing.

Bailey, of South Scituate, whose manuscripts have been deposited by me in the library of the New England historic, Genalogical Society.

Isacke Dcsbrough, husbandman, of Ell-Tisley in Com. Cambridge (aet.) 18 embarked early in April 1635, on the Hopewell of London, for New England, having, as fellow passengers, the families of Cooper, Farrington, Purryer, Griggs and Kyrtland, from Olney, Laundon and Sherrington, Bucks, most of whom settled in Lynn, and a lot of Christians from the neighborhood of Nazing in Essex and Stansted Abbey in Herts, many of whom formed a part of the flock of John Eliot at Roxbury. Mr Disbrowe (as the name seems to have been more commonly spelled) probably lived in Lynn, although I find no record of the transfer of real estate either to or from him. His name appears in the Court records of Essex County, Mass., as a party to sundry suits in the years 1638 and 1639, and then disappears altogether from the records here.

The following is the record of the cases referred to, taken from the earliest Court Record at Salem.

31: 10th mo : 1639
Hugh Burt commensing an aco Last Court agt Isaacke Disberoe def. now tryed viz The Jury bring in for pl. 4? 10s damages & Ios costes John ffarrington was surety

From the Record of the Court of Assistants held at Boston the 3th day of the first month, 1639-1640, we learn that Isaack Deesbro and John Farrington forfeited their recognizance.

Whether he was the Isaac Disbrowe, above named, who died A. D. 1660, or Isaac the son, who died in his father's life-time, remains to be proved. I am inclined to think, however, it was the son.

That Isaac Disbrowe, Senior, was nearly related to Samuel Disbrowe of New Haven and Guilford, Connecticut (brother of the Major-General), there can be no shadow of a doubt. As to the names of his daughter's husbands, I would suggest that Stocker was and is a Lynn name, and it was John Johnson of Guilford, Conn., who married the daughter Elizabeth, 1 Oct. 1651, after her divorce from her first husband, Thomas Relfe or Rolfe.

One of the fellow passengers of Isaac Disbrowe the immigrant, was a John Astwood who was undoubtedly the Captain Astwood to whom Governor Leete refers in his letter to Samuel Disbrowe. His will may be found in the "Gleanings," Register xxxviii. 421.

...

Elsworth, in the hundred of Papworth and deanery of Bourne, lies about eight miles nearly west of Cambridge, and about the same distance south-east of Huntingdon. The manor of Elsworth and the manor of the rectory were purchased in 1656 by Samuel Disbrowe, Esq., who died in 1690 ; his granddaughter brought it in marriage to Matthew Holworthy, Esq. (called the only son of Sir Matthew Holworthy, knt., of Great Palsgrave in Norfolk). After Mr. Holworthy's death it was possessed by his daughter, Mrs. Heathcote, who, having no children, devised it to Matthew Heathcote, who took the name of Holworthy, and was grandfather of the Rev. Matthew Holworthy, Lord of the manor, patron of the rectory and incumbent. In the parish church, besides the monument of Samuel Disbrowe, are several memorials of the Holworthy family.

Eltisley, in the hundred of Stow and deanery of Bourne, lies about 12 miles nearly west of Cambridge. The manor of Stow, or Goldinghams, afterwards called the manor of Eltisley, belonged successively to the families of Stow, Ward and Golding ham. In 1656 it was sold to Major General Disbrowe, whose descendant, Mr. John Disbrowe, devised it in 1741, to the two sons of his nephew, William Walford of Bocking. The rectory, with the advowson (we are further told) was purchased, about the year 1600, by the Disbrowe family. John Disbrowe, who was buried there in 1610, is called the grandfather of Major General Disbrowe and of Sameul Disbrowe, Keeper of the Great Seal in Scotland, both of whom were born at Eltisley, the former in 1608, the latter in 1619. The Major General was married at Eltisley to Jane Cromwell, Oliver's youngest sister, in 1636. James Disbrowe, elder brother of the Major General, inherited the estate at Eltisley, where he resided. His descendants possessed this estate until the year 1713. The parsonage house, which had been the seat of the Disbrowes, has been pulled down.

George Way of Dorchester ...

And whereas there is of my estate four and thirty pounds in money in Thomas Ford's (1) hands in New England and in the hands of Roger Clap and Stephen Tayler in New England, ...

[ ... (1) Thomas Ford and family came from England to Dorchester, in the year 1630; and he wan made freeman the same year. He had four daughters. Abigail married John Strong, the ancestor of Gov. Caleb Strong, Joanna became the wife of Roger Clap whom she married Nov. 6, 1633, when in the 17th year of her age; they lived together in the conjugal relation 57 years, and had 14 children, the youngest of whom named Supply, Judge Sewall, in his Journal, styles "a very desirable man." Another daughter of Thomas Ford wedded Aaron Cooke; Hepzibah married Richard Lyman.

Thomas Ford, Ensign Stoughton, William Phelps and William Gaylord, were appointed by the General Court, March 4, 1633-4, "to set the bounds between Boston and Roxbury." Thomas Ford had a grant of land in Dorchester, June 27, 1636, and not far from that time, it may be, went to Windsor. On the 16th of January 1636, old style, two acres of land in Dorchester, on Mr. Ludlow's neck, were "ordered" to John Holland, it being land formerly granted to Thomas Ford; also "a little plott of marsh," without inclosure, Holland paying said Ford "the charges he hath been at in ditching." Mr. Ford was an active and useful man, both in Dorchester and Windsor, and his name appears a number of times on the records of those towns. In 1633, the Town of Dorchester ordered that a fort be built "upon the Rocke, above Mr. Johnson's" and a double rate, to that end, be paid to Thomas Ford and Roger Clap "at the house of the said Thommas Ford." While in Dorchester he was one of the twelve men selected by the plantation for ordering their affairs. He was chosen to that office June 27, 1636; constable in Windsor in 1654; approved to be made freeman at the latter place, Oct. 4, 1669 (Register, v. 247); was on the Grand Jury in 1662. He had a grant of 50 acres of land at Massacoe, now Simsbury, Conn., "whereof forty-four acres had been improved by plowing and mowing, as it was measured by Matthew Graunt," ancestor of the late President Grant.

Mr. Ford married for his second wife, Ann Scott, widow of Thomas Scott, of Hartford, Conn., Nov. 7, 1644. Register, xiii.53. He subsequently removed to Northampton, Mass., where he died Nov. 9, 1676.--W. B. Trask.]
