• Notes

  Came to Massachusetts Bay in 1633. First settled in Charlestown; then moved to Malden, then Casco by 1662, & finally back to Malden. Died in Malden after 1692. —— The aged couple were now evidently growing feebler, and the town voted, March 14, 1692, with a prudent provision for rebate in case its charity should prove overgenerous “that the towne doe alow goodman nicols aleuen pound in or of money for this present yeare ensuing for the maintanance of his father and mother felt, if ether of them dy with in the year, after funiral charges, what is left to return to the selectman or there order.” The record ends here. The sturdy pioneer whose advent at North Yarmouth was reckoned as its “birth-day,”and whose courageous manhood helped to establish it firmly upon the foundation of its prosperity it enjoys to-day; wronged in his old age by those who should have aided him instead; driven out to seek a home of charity; assure that his “funiral expenses” were provided for, died in1693 aged 92 years, and his wife “much advance in years” followed him in 1694.
