6, when he and Bradstreet were named as magistrates to hold the court there, while others were appointed for the court at New Town. Soon afterwards he removed to Roxbury, were he died July 31, 1653. Simon Bradstreet was an Assistant from 1630 to 1678; Deputy Governor, 1678; Governor, 1679-86, 1689-92. He also removed to Ipswich, probably with Dudley, whose daughter was his wife; was afterwards in Andover for a short time; then in Boston until Sept. 18, 1695, when he removed to Salem, and died1678; Governor, 1679-86, 1689-92. He also removed to Ipswich, probably with Dudley, whose daughter was his wife; was afterwards in Andover for a short time; then in Boston until Sept. 18, 1695, when he removed to Salem, and died there, March 27, 1697.

73, which was never understood to confer full town privileges, and which, for aught that appears to the contrary, was the order mentioned in the Town Record dated 27. 6. 1679. At the close of their elaborate answer the Selectmen of Cambridge allege that the petitioners have not submitted unto nor rested in the Court's last grant made to them for the choice of a constable and three Selectmen, etc. It seems highly probable that, having again failed in their efforts to obtain incorporation in 1678, and despairing of present success, the petitioners determined to exercise the power granted in 1673, and accordingly elected a Constable and three Select men, Aug. 27, 1679. Such action would sufficiently account for the record bearing that date in what Jackson styles the New Town Book. But the evidence in the case is not wholly of this negative character. One of the documents published by Mr. Jackson Hist. of Newton, p. 62. indicates with some distinctness a different day (Jan. 11,

Mr. Danforth, through a long life, was one of the most energetic and useful citizens in the town and in the Colony. he was a Selectman, 1645-1671, 27 years; Town Clerk, 1645-1668, 24 years; Representative (or Deputy), 1657, 1658; Assistant 1659-1678, 20 years; Deputy Governor 1679-1692, except during the three years usurpation by Andros, and probably nothing but the prolonged life of the venerable Bradstreet prevented his election as Governor. With the same exception, he was President of theg pressed to accept his place as Judge Sewall says. He was Treasurer of Harvard College 1650-1669, Treasurer of Middlesex County several years, and Recorder 1648-1686. He was also Commissioner of the United colonies at every session from 1662 to 1678, and President of that Board in 1675. Through his whole life, his appointment and action on numerous and highly important committees, especially during the long struggle which preceded the vacation of the old Charter, abundantly indicate the conf
