He was, with his uncle and father, among the first sett. at Newport, forming their covenant 7 Mar. 1638, but in few yrs. prefer.

Francis, a week after his mo. and a fortnight after his f. freem. on the same day with his f. and br. 4 Mar. 1635, was disarm. for siding with his mo. 1637, went home, I think, bef. the fam. rem. to Newport, was by our ch. recommend. 28 Dec. 1645, to that of famous Dr. Thomas Goodwin at London, where his relat. Gov. Hutch. confus. him with his uncle Richard, wh. by the ordin. of Parl. 27 July 1649 was made one of the sixteen mem. of the Soc. for Prop. the Gosp. See Scobell's Acts, or Hutch. I. 164. He [[512]] was a wealthy ironmonger in Cheapside, and his loss by the great fire of 1666, was, it is said by Hutch. ?60,000. After large investigat. I have conclud. that Hutch. was in error, in assuring us, that Richard, a br. of William, was ever in Boston, and that he mistook this s. of William for the elder Richard, his uncle. RICHARD, Salem, by w. Alice had Elizabeth b. a. 1628; Rebecca; Joseph, a. 1633; all in Eng.

Bethia Hutchinson, and Sarah Hadlock; his slave Peter, to wh. and his heirs he devis. 5 acres of ld. and s.-in-law Nathaniel Putnam, Thomas Hale, the h. of his d. Mary, and James Hadlock. SAMUEL, Boston, br. of William, a bachelor, is not kn. long here, and perhaps did not live here many yrs. bef. his d. but had gr. of ld. 20 May 1638, at R. I. whither he went, no doubt, with his br. William, and had been assoc. with his br. Wheelwright in purch. from Ind. at Exeter and Wells. In his will of 17 Apr. pro. 16 July 1667, gives copious proof of his knowledge of brs. and sis. and their childr. as Samuel, eldest s. of sis. Wheelwright, and her six ds. Elizabeth Person, Catharine Nayler, Mary Lyde, Rebecca Maverick, Hannah Checkley, and Sarah, perhaps unm. as her surname is omit.; beside Edward Rishworth, eldest s. of that R. wh. had m. a sis. of the testat.; next, the seven ch. nam. them, of my cousin [i. e. niece], Faith Savage dec. then cous.

Faith, Edward, Susanna, and Bridget, were those ch. of Ann, wh. were not cut off by the Ind. when that Jezabel, as Welde calls her, met her sad fate. He wrote from Boston "Answ. to a letter sent from Old Eng. to New, 1659," tho. it was not print. at London bef. 1667. It is about the Millennium; but seems not wild about the fifth monarchy and king Jesus. SAMUEL, Portsmouth, R.
