setts, offers a fruitful field for the historical student. It is not possible for one to examine the events which have occurred during the two hundred and sixty-three years of its existence without becoming filled with a desire to become better acquainted with the men whose actions shaped tlie town as it grew from its small beginning, and who established the noble institutions which will always keep alive the beloved name of '• Dorchester."

The author of this volume was impressed with the fact that, in spite of the existence of rich traditions and associations, a large portion of the inhabitants of the town had but little knowledge of them. The only complete history of Dorchester, published in 1859 by the Dorchester Antiquarian and Historical Society, has for some years been out of print. Blake's "Annals," printed in 1846. found a place in the libraries of those especially interested in the

early records, but was not popularly known among the citizens. Dr. Harris's " Chronological and Topographical Account" of the town, published in 1804, covered but a small portion of the history, as he intended later to issue a comprehensive volume on the subject. Tlie Record Commissioners of Boston, in 1879, printed the first volume of the Town Records of Dorchester, — accomplishing an invaluable service in preserving for posterity these historical documents ; and in 1892 the Rev. Samuel J. Barrows and Mr. William B. Trask performed a like service, in editing the Records of the First Church. To all these earlier puljlications the author acknowledges his indebtedness.

A narrative history of the town, however, has never before been published. The author has attempted to gather together the most important part of the material existing on the subject, and to combine it in such a manner as to make it of interest not only to those familiar with the facts, but also to those who know little of the story, and who are desirous of learning something of the historic spots which surround them. To accomi^lish this, it has been necessary to omit all genealogies ; as these, while of inestimable value to an exhaustive work, are not of interest to the general reader, and do not properly belong to the narration. Mention has been made, however, of the more important of the inhabitants of the town, with a view to showing the influence they wielded, and the effect of their labors.

Every effort has been made to prevent errors of fact or date from appearing in these pages ; but the author cannot hope to escape the fate of all those who venture to tread in historical paths. In all cases possible, however, the authorities which have been consulted have been verified by comparison. When the history appeared in serial form in the •• Dorchester Beacon," criticism and additions were invited, with a view to avoid, if possible, misstatements or omissions.

The author begs to take this opportunity gratefully to acknowledge the uniform kindness and courtesy with which his requests for information have been received. Without the co-operation of many citizens of the town, the publication of this volume would have been almost impossible. Acknowledgment should especially be made to Mr. William B. Trask, who has carefully examined the proof-sheets, making invaluable corrections and suggestions ; to Mr. John Wilson, whose advice has been of great value, and to whom the typographical appearance of the book is due ; to Dr. Benjamin Gushing, Mr. William C. Codman, and Mrs. Mary F. Freeman, for untiring efforts in the interests of the work ; and also to others who have generously

GOOD OLD DORCHESTER.

A NARRATIVE HISTORY OF THE TOWN. 1630-1893.

At this time the Prayer-book was reviewed, and the changes then made tended to increase rather than to lessen the ceremonial. This the queen ordered to be vigorously enforced, and the Puritans were compelled to take decisive steps. Some immediately separated from the Church (1566) ; wliile others sought to devise plans for evading the laws, and still keeping their benefices.

By degrees Elizabeth removed the ministers who were known to favor the Pmitan movement, until, in 1583, she was suiTOunded by those on whom she could depend to carry out her wishes. Archbishop Whitgift, the primate who succeeded Grindal, was a severe disciplinarian, and he applied the subscription list with much more thoroughness than any of his predecessors. This increased the number of dissenters, but produced conformity in the Church.

When it became evident to the Puritans that legislative relief was impossible, they, unwisely, began to write libels against the bishops and the clergy, until, in 1593, an act was passed which made Puritanism an offence against the statute law. It was from this date that the emigration of the Puritans began. " The fundatio perfictens, — the real foundations of Plymouth and Massachusetts," — says Edward Everett, " are to be sought, not in the patent of James or the charter of Charles, with their grant of zones of territory from the Atlantic to the Pacific, but in the stern text of this act of 1593."

The accession of James I. to the throne caused the Puritans to entertain expectations of relief. On the contrary, however, they received no more consideration from Ifim than from his predecessor, and found that they must expect harsh treatment unless they conformed to the laws.

The Puritans of Massachusetts, while opposed to the ceremonial of the ancient Church, did not belong to the violent school of the " Separatists," as the more radical of the Reformers were called. They regarded the established Church of England as a true Church, but found it a burden upon their consciences not to be allowed to worship "after their own light." Soon after Charles I. ascended the throne, they determined to execute the plan which they had meditated for some years. In the New World, they thought, they could, without a formal separation from the Church of England, enjoy the more simple and unostentatious forms of worship which were forbidden them in the land of their birth. It was for this purpose, therefore, that in the year 1630 a goodly company of determined men and women, chiefly from the counties of Devon, Dorset, and Somerset, gathered together at Old Plymouth, making preparations to sail with their families and possessions to a land of which they knew so littla, and yet from wliich they hoped so much. Chief among the company, besides the ministers, were Messrs. Clap, Rossiter, Ludlow, Glover, Johnson, Terry, Smith, Gallope, Hull, Stoughton, Cogan, Hill, Southcote, Lovell, Duncan, Pinney, Richards, Way, Williams, and Tilly.

Thus quaintly does the ancient chronicler record the beginning of the movement which cost England so many of her best yeomen : —

"When many most Godly and Keligious People that Dissented from y' way of Worship then Established by Law iu y" Realm of England, In y'^ Reign of King Charles y^ first, being denied y'' free exercise of Religion after y" manner they professed according to y'' light of God's Word and their own consciences, did under y" Incouragement of a Charter Granted by y" S* King, Charles, in y^ Fourth Year of his Reign, A. D. 1628, Remoue themselues & their Families into y* Colony of y* Massachusetts Bay in New-Euglaud, that they might Worship God according to y'' light of their own Consciences, without any burthensome Impositions, which was y' very motive & cause of their coming ; Then it was, that the Fhst Inhabitants of Dorchester came ouer, & were y" first Company or Church JSociety that arriued here, nest to y" Towu of Salem who was oue year before them." '

A common purpose made these people, who were almost unknown to each other, the closest friends. The Rev. John White, of Trinity Parish, Dorchester, in Dorset, had been the means of persuading them to make this strike for liberty and haj^piness ; and we can imagine him moving among them, with a word of encouragement for the faint-hearted ones, a bright smile and a fii-m handshake for the stout-hearted, and with a confidence and fii-mness in liis manner which inspired all with faith and courage.

This was not the first proof of Mr. White's sympathy with the emigration movement. He had given his assistance and money to the settlers at Plymouth, and had encouraged the Old Dorchester fishermen in their voyages to American waters. The failure of a settlement he attempted at Cape Ann in 1624, under Roger CouaUt, in order to furnish a trading-jjost for the fishermen on the coast, only stimulated him to greater efforts ; and he threw his whole heart and soul into tliis new enterprise.

Rev. John White has been termed "the Patriarch of Dorchester " by his contemporaries, and " the father of the Massachusetts Colony " by later writers. He sympathized with the Puritans; but, as he did not regard the ceremonial to be of vital importance, he did not separate from the Church. His moderation, however, made him unpopular with the authorities, and the cavalry of Prince Rupert destroyed his house and carried away his library, forcing him to go to London. He is said to have been a man who was " grave, yet without nioroseness, who would willingly contribute his shot of facetiousness on any just occasion." He " had an excellent faculty in the clear and solid interpretation of the scriptures," and " had a patriarchal influence both in Old and New England." He was rector of Trinity 1 Blake's Annals of the Town of Dorcliester, p. 7 (1846).

Parish for over forty years, yet New Dorchester, within whose boundaries the venerable old man never set foot, probably remembers him better than does Old Dorchester, in whose behalf he labored so long ; for no stone marks his burial-place. What better monument than that which his own exertions raised for him in the New World!

Feeling that the bond of union must be made as strong as possible, the emigrants met together in the new hospital in Plymouth, and associated themselves into church fellowship, choosing Mr. John Maverick and Mr. John Warham, two well-known preachers, to be their ministers and leaders. The early part of the day was occupied by a farewell sermon by Mr. White, and the latter part in completing arrangements for the voyage. They set sail from Plymouth on the 20th day of March, 1630, in the " Mary and John," a ship of four hundred tons' burden, commanded by Captain Squeb.

While the voyagers are patiently waiting for the sight of their new home, let us take a glance at the coast toward which they are steering. No one knows who was the discoverer of Boston Harbor ; but the first record of it was made in 1614, by Captain John Smith, who sailed that year to America from England, on a voyage of discovery. It was he who gave the coast the name of "New England," sailing up and down with a crew of eight men, exploring the bays and harbors from the Penobscot River to Cape Cod. While on these trips he traded with the Indians, and gave names to the different localities he visited. When he returned to England, he drew a map of the " New England coast," on which there is a bay, with eight small islands in it, and into which a river, named by him the " Charles," flowed. There is little doubt that this was the Boston Harbor of to-day, incluiling Dorchester Bay ; but the map seems to

Jar (S^^'

sliow that Smith never entered the Charles River, his knowledge of it, as shown in his writings, having been acquired from Winslow and others who j^ossessed more accurate information. ^

It is unfortunate that we cannot tell wlio Captain Smith's predecessors were. There is no doubt that the French wei'e in this vicinity before him ; for Smith writes in his account that the French had defeated one of the jjrincipal objects of his voyage, by buying furs of the Indians. Then, again. Governor Wintluop saj^s in liis Journal that Deputy-Governor Ludlow found two pieces of French money, coined in 1596, when digging a cellar in Dorchester in 1631.

While Captain Smith was the first to mention Boston Harbor, we are indebted to Captain Miles Standish for the earliest accurate description of it. One of the fu-st excursions made by this militant Pilgrim, together with ten of his sturdy "army," was to explore this harbor; and he brought back such a favorable report that the Pilgrim fathers regretted that they had not settled somewhere on its shores.

The Rev. John White, encouraged by the reported successes of the first colonists^ interested prominent persons in London in projecting a new settlement in Massachusetts Bay, and obtained a patent from the king. By the terms of this patent the Colony was to be governed by a court composed of a governor, deputy-governor, and eighteen assistants, whose jurisdiction was to extend from tliree miles south of the Chailes River to three miles north of the Merrimac, and from the Atlantic Ocean to the South Sea. Preparations were made to gather emigrants for a great colony, and a fleet of fourteen vessels was the result. The " Mary and John " was the first of the fleet to arrive, having on board one hundred and forty souls.^ Among the passengers was Captain Roger Clap, to whom we are 1 Prince's Annals, p. 128. ^ Savage's Winthrop, p. 368 (1825).

indebted for an interesting and accurate account of what happened to the party.'

Every effort was made to have tliis company composed of the elements necessary for the formation of a strong community. The two ministers, Maverick and Warham, were selected, not only to take charge of the spiritual welfare of the Plantation, but also to preach the gospel to the Indians. Rosseter ^ ,

and Ludlow, acting in the jSdrCrXnpJ" •"'^ -ffiof' capacity of Assistants, or

Directors, of the stockholders, were men of such character and education as might give strength and stability to the Colony. Men such as Henry Wolcott, Thomas Ford, George Dyer, William Gaylord, William Rockwell, and William Phelps had good stancUng as the older members of the party. Captains Jolui Mason and Richard Southcote, and Quartermaster John Smith possessed military experience, and could direct

J/ ^ i-L^fz dians. The largest portion of

tlie company naturally consisted of young men, such as Israel Stoughton, Roger Clap, George ^linot, George Hall, Richard CoUicot, and Nathaniel Duncan, — an active, well-trained element, wliich did much in effecting the permanent settlement.

The voyage, though a long one, was not imcomfortable, and the ship reached " Nantasket Point," the present Hull, on the 30th of May (O. S.), 1630. The landing showed the calm spirit which had taken possession of these emigrants. One by one they left the " Mary and John ; " and as their feet touched the soil of the New World, each offered a silent prayer of thanksgiving. Then, after all had assembled, they are said^ to have joined in the following hymn : —

1 Memoirs of Roger Clap (1630).

Thou Lord hast beene our sui'e defence,

Our place of ease and rest ; lu all times past, yea, so long since,

As cannot be exprest.

Refresh us with thy mercy soone,

And then oui' joy shall be : All times so long as time shall last

In heart rejoyce shall we.

And on thy servants light : And shew unto thy children deare,

Thy glory and thy might.

On us thy ser\'ants thus : Coufirme the workes we take iu hand,

Lord, prosper them to us.

It had been understood that the voyagers were to be brought to the Charles River ; but owing either to a misunderstanding or to perversity on the part of Captain Squeb, they were put ashore on the Point, — " a forlorn wilderness, destitute of any habitation and most other comforts of life." The following description of the entrance to the harbor, by William Wood, in 1634, justifies Captain Squeb in his unwillingness to enter a cliannel of which he was totally ignorant : —

"It is a fafe .and pleafant Harbour within, having but one common and fafe entrance, and that not very broad, there fcarce being roome for 3. Ships to come in board and board at a time, but being once within, there is roome for the anchorage of 500. Ships.

" This Harbour is made by a great company of Hands, whofe high Cliffes fhoulder out the boiftrous Seas, yet may eafily deceiue any uufkilfull Pilote ; prefenting many fane openings and broad founds, which afford too fhallow waters for

1630.] COLONIAL TIMKS. 29

any Ships, though navigable for Boates and fmall pinnaces. The entrance into the great Haven is called Nantafkot ; which is two leagues from Bofton ; this place of it selfe is a very good Haven, where Ships commonly caft Anchor, untill Wiude and Tyde ferve them for other places ; from hence they may fayle to the River of Wejfagufcus, Naponfet, Charles River, and Mijlicke River, on which Rivers bee feated many Townes." '

A party of ten, under the command of Captain Soutlicote, proctu-ed a boat, and started up the harbor and Charles River to find a suitable place for a settlement. They first landed on the peninsula wliich is now known as Charlestown, where they found some Indians, in wigwams, and an Englishman named Thomas Walford, who was living in a thatched house. He accompanied them when they continued their expedition up the river to the site of the present Waterto^vn. Here they had a friendly interview with the Indians, the old trader acting as interpreter ; and it was decided to make the settlement on this spot.

In the mean time those who were left behind had not been idle. Word was received by the exploring party at Watertown that a neck of land had been found, joining a place called by the Indians " Mattapan," which offered a suitable place for the cattle to feed. The settlement was made at ]\Iattapan, therefore, about the first of June (O. S.), 1630. The site selected was near what is now Pleasant and Cottage Streets, on Allen's Plain and Rock Hill, the present Savin Hill.

Many of the emigrants were trading men, and at first intended to make Dorchester a place of trade. With tliis in mind, a fort was built upon Rock Hill, and several pieces of ordnance were placed in position near the water. The channel, however, proved poor, and the landing difficult; so the idea was given up, and Boston and Charlestown became the ports for trade instead.

30 GOOD OLD DOKCHESTBK. [1630.

A month after the settlement of the Dorchester colonists, the rest of the fleet, with Governor Winthrop's " Arbella " at the head, arrived at Salem, and decided to settle on a point of land which was called " Charlestown," in honor of Charles I. They remained here but a short time, however, moving across the river to Shawmut (which means " near the neck " ), as the present Boston was then called.!

Thus Dorchester was the fu'st settlement in what is now Suffolk County; but it was not until four months later that it received the name by which it is now known. An entry on the Massachusetts Records shows that at "A Court of Assistants holden att Charlton, the 7th of September, 1630," it was ordered, that " Trimountaine shalbe called Boston ; Mattapan, Dorchester, & the towne vpon Charles Ry^rer, Waterton." ^ Blake tells us that he never heard why the name " Dorchester " was chosen, " but there was some of Dorset Shire and some of y' Town of Dorchester that settled here ; and it is very likely it might be in Honour of y" afoi-esaid Revd. Mr. White of Dorchester." ^ With this probable derivation, it is interesting to see where Old Dorchester obtained its name. In very remote ages the region thereabouts was inhabited by a clan called " Durotriges." This people was later reduced to the dominion of the Romans by Vespasian, and the spot which was afterwards called Dorchester was known as " Durnovaria," — a name derived from two Celtic words, Dwr, or Dwyr, and Var, which signify "water" and " way." Thus the name meant " water-way," or channel. Later, Vespasian made the town the seat of government for that part of the country, and its name was changed to

1 Shawmut, afterwards called Blaxton's Neck, and since Boston, was not settled till the spring after by Governor Wintlirop and his people. — Ferdinando Gorges: Description of New England (1659).

^ Records of Massachusetts, vol. i. p. 75 (1853).

" Dorchester." * Here the Romans built fortifications, and near by they erected the largest Roman ampliitheatre in England, the circuit of which still remains. In the times of the Saxon kings, the town was a stronghold ; later, it was stormed by the Danes ; and, under a violent Norman governor, one hundred of its one hundred and eighty houses were destroyed. It is now a prosperous city, " whose most honored memorial, in after times," says an American statesman, " will be that it gave origin to this, its American namesake, and impulse to one of the noblest enterprises of transatlantic colonization."

The only European whose name has come down to us as a resident of Dorchester, before the arrival of the " Mary and John," is David Thompson. He settled on the island which still bears his name, and there carried on his trade, dealing in furs and fish. Thompson probably left Dorchester soon after the arrival of the first settlers, as no mention is made of liim after that date. It is thought that William Trevour preceded Thompson, but nothing authentic is known in regard to liis movements.

The land wliich the early settlers had chosen for their abode belonged to the tribe of Indians known as the " Massachusetts," whose chief was Cliickataubut. In 1621 he had signed a treaty Avith the English at Plymouth, and in 1630 further showed his good-will toward the newcomers by consenting to the occupancy of Dorchester. We do not know just what the Indian chief received in retui'n, but it is certain that the transaction was completed on satisfactory tenns.

It is a severe portrait which the first two years of the Colony present to us. The New England of two huncbed and sixty-three years ago did not offer a kindly settlement to the brave emigrants who sought to break into its austerity. The ground had to be cleared before even the

' History of Dorchester, in the County of Dorset, pp. 61-66.

rude huts could be reared, aud the trees felled before a space could be found to plant the seeds necessary to prevent starvation.

On the coast the settlers found nothing to break their desolation. Wet meadows and oozy creeks prevented them from going in one tUrection, while unfordable tidewater rivers interfered with their progress in another. Utterly ignorant of the character of the country, it is not strange that imagination added to the real terrors which sru-rounded them, and made them feel that safety was not to be found anywhere. " Unearthly cries were sometimes heard in the crackling woods," said Edward Everett in his Fourth of July oration in Dorchester in 1855 ; "glimpses were caught, at dusk, of animals for which natui'al liistory had no names ; and strange foot-maiks, which men did not like to speak of, were occasionally seen in the snow." Added to this was the terror of rattlesnakes, with which the country swarmed, and of dangerous animals wliich prowled about by night. The Indians, too, whose tlisposition toward the white men was entirely unknown, were a source of anxiety night and day.

Rufus Choate strikingly described the early sufferings of the Puritans when he said, —

" Do you not think that whoso could, by adequate description, bring before you that winter of the Pilgrims, its brief sunshine, the nights of storm, slow waning, the damp aud icy breath, felt to the pillow of the dying ; its destitutions ; its contrast with all their foiTner experience in life ; its utter insulation and loneliness ; its death-beds and burials ; its memories ; its apprehensions ; its hopes ; the counsels of the prudent ; the prayers of the pious ; the occasional cheerful hymn, in which the strong heart threw off its burthen, and asserting its unvanquished nature, went up like a liird of dawn to the skies, — do ye not think that whoso could describe them calmly waiting in that defile, lonelier and darker than ThermopyliE, for a morning that might never dawn, or might show

them, when it did, a mightier arm than the Persian raised as in act to strike, would he not sketch a scene of more difficult and rarer heroism? A scene, as Wordsworth has said, ' Melancholy, yea dismal, yet consolatory and full of joy ; ' a scene even better fitted to succor, to exalt, to lead the forlorn hopes of all great causes, till time shall be no more ! " '

Captain Clap also gives us a vivid picture of the privations and suffering that the people went through : —

" Oh y" Hunger that many suffered, and saw no hope in an Eye of Reason to be supplyed, only by Clams, & Muscles, and Fish ; and Bread was so very Scarce, that sometimes y^ very crusts of my Father's Table would have been very Sweet unto me : And when I could have Meal & Water & Salt, boiled together, it was so good, who could wish better? And it was not accounted a strange thing in those Days to Drink water, and to eat Samp or Homine without Butter or Milk. Indeed it would have been a strange thing to see a piece of Roast Beef, Mutton or Veal; tho' it was not long before there was Roast Goat." ^

Again writing of the hardships, Captain Clap says, —

"And in those days, in our Straits, though I cannot say God sent a Raven to feed us, as He did the Prophet Elijah, yet this I can say to the Praise of God's Glory, that He sent not only poor, ravenous Indians, which came with their Baskets of Corn, on their Backs to trade with us, which was a good Supply unto many ; but also sent Ships from Holland and from Ireland with Provisions, and Indian Corn from Virginia, to supply the Wants of his dear Servants in this Wilderness, both for Food and Rayment."^
