Masters, John, was one of the earliest inhabitants of Camb., and in 1635 owned a house and seven acres of land on the westerly side of Ash Street, near Brattle Street. In 1631 he engaged to construct a canal from the river, through the marsh, to the upland, near the foot of Dunster Street, 12 foot broad and 7 foot deep, for which the Court promiseth him satisfaction, according as the charges thereof shall amount unto. (Mass. Col. Rec.) The cost of the canal, or creek, was £ 30. Mr. Masters d. 21 Dec. 1639; his w. Jane d. 26 Dec. 1639. By his will, dated 19 Dec. 1639, it appears that he had daughters Sarah Dobyson, Lydia Tabor, and Elizabeth Latham; a grandson, Jo

John Flint of Concord 12 Nov. 1667; Thomas, b. 18 June 1644. Edward the f. was a prominent and useful citizen; he was Selectman twenty-nine years, between 1642 and 1678, and Representative seventeen years, between 1659 and 1681. He was also Representative for Concord 1683, 1684, and 1686. He was appointed Quartermaster of the Tr May 1744; Sarah, b. 30 July 1746; Susanna, b. 11 Mar. 1748-9; Abigail, b. 3 Ap. 1752; John, b. 1 Nov. 1754. John the f. d. and his w.

ber of Parliament, rendered frequent and important services to the Colony, and d., according to Morant, June 40 1674; but, according to a certified copy of the Parish Register of Bures. St. Mary in the Co. of Suffolk, which was his last residence, he was buried 1 July 1673. His first wife was Elizabeth, dau. of Thomas and granddaughter of Sir William Waldegrave, by whom he had Waldegrave, bap. 26 Sept. 1627, the principal heir of the English estates, buried 12 Nov. 1699; Penelope, b. about 1631, m. Gov. Josiah Winslow, and d. at Marshfield 7 Dec. 1703, a. 72; Nathaniel, bap. 5 Feb. 1631-2, grad. H. C. 1651, embarked for England with Capt. Garrett Nov. 1657, and was lost; by his second wife, Elizabeth, dau. of Godfrey Bosville, Esq., and wid. of Roger Harlakenden, Esq., he had Mary, b. 12 Nov. 1638, according to the town Record, but manifestly a mistake; the date should prob. be 1639 or 1640; Frances, b. 9 Nov. 1643; Herbert, b. 3 Oct. 1645, bur. 2 Jan. 1645-6; and a son Edward, wh

Simon Sackett of Springfield, about 1654, and John Sackett of Northampton, in 1660, were sons of Simon and Isabel of Cambridge. Saltonstall, Sir Richard, was one of the Assistants, when the Government of the Colony was removed to Massachusetts in 1630. He had lands in Wat., and res. there a short time. Although he returned to England in 1631, he seems still to have been regarded as an Assistant, and provision was made for him when Camb. was selected as a suitable place for a fortified town and the residence of the Governor and Assistants. What is now called Winthrop Square was granted to him for a house lot; but, as he did not return, it was devoted for a Market Place, and has always remained public property.

Joseph the f. resided in Chs., was a Captain, somewhat engaged in public business, and late in life became an attorney. By the Records of Middlesex it appears that in Aug. 1719 Capt. Joseph Whittemore, upon his motion to the Court, was admitted and sworn before the Court to the office of an attorney. Apparently, however, he derived not much pecuniary advantage from his honorable offices, for he d. insolvent in 1746; his w. Susanna sur

t to Tieck, and looked over his collection of books and manuscripts in old English literature, and especially the old English drama. Few Englishmen have so fine a library in this department as he has; fewer still have a knowledge in it at all to be compared to his. Many of his notions are very bold; as, for instance, that the Fair Emm A Pleasant Comedie of Faire Em, the Miller's Daughter of Manchester, with the Love of William the Conqueror. Acted by the Lord Strange his Servants. 4to. 1631. is by Shakespeare. He told me to-day that he thinks Milton superintended the edition of Shakespeare to which his sonnet is prefixed, because the changes and emendations made in it, upon the first folio, are poetical and plainly made by a poet. It would be a beautiful circumstance if it could be proved true. When Tieck was in England, in 1817, he bought a great many curious books, and even had eight or ten manuscript plays copied in the British Museum, so far and so thoroughly has he pus
