tion was manifested in the appointment of grave and respectable citizens to keep ordinaries and to sell intoxicating drinks. The first person licensed by the General Court, Sept. 8, 1636, to keepe a house of intertainment at Newe Towne, was Thomas Chesholme Mass. Col. Rec., i. 180. a deacon of the church, and afterwards Steward of Harvard College. He was also licensed to draw wine at Cambridge, May 13, 1640. Ibid., i. 292. His dwelling-house was on a lot at the northwest corner of Dunster and Winthrop streets, adjoining the lot on which the first meeting-house was erected; so that the first church edifice and the first tavern in Cambridge stood side by side; and from all which is known of Deacon Chesholme's character, it may be confidently believed that he permitted nothing to be done in the one which could bring disgrace upon the other. The first person allowed to sell wine and strong water in Cambridge, March 12, 1637-8, Ibid., i. 221. was Mr. Nicholas Danforth, a selectm

Deacon Stone, and Deacon Chesholme, for those at the remote farms. Lt. Winship, William Dixon and Francis Whitmore for those on west side Winottime. Deacon Stone and Deacon Cooper, for those families on the west side the common, and for Watertowne lane, as far towards the town as Samuel Hastings. That is, to Ash Street.

Soon afterwards he owned and occupied the estate at the N. W. corner of Dunster and Winthrop streets, where he resided until his death 18 Aug. 1671. He was a tailor, and for several years a Deacon of the Church, and Steward of Harvard College. In 1636 he was licensed by the General Court, to keep a house of entertainment, being apparently the first in Camb. who recei

In 1692, Isaac Day, heretofore citizen and embroiderer of London, and his wife Susanna, together with Mary, the widow and executrix of Robert Meriam late of Concord, deceased, sold to Richard Proctor of Boston, the above mentioned estate, describing it as heretofore the mansion place whereof one Thomas Chesholme died siezed, of whose administrators the said Robert Meriam in his life-time, to wit, 3 Oct. 1671, purchased it. After this sale, no further trace is found here of this family. The name now exists in Camb.; but it is not known that the individuals bearing it are descendants of either of these early families. Deming, David, was a Fence-viewer in Camb. 1699, and Tything-man, 1700. He owned the Brattle estate, extending from Brattle Square to Ash Street. Before Nov. 1707 he removed t
aid to have died in prison for debt after rendering himself an object of detestation by his persecution of his former brethren in the faith. While he remained in Virginia he sent for his wife and children. Her friends here persuaded her to stay a while, but she went notwithstanding, and the vessel was never heard of after. (Winthrop.) One child, Benoni, remained in Cambridge; the names of the others are not known. 2. Benoni, s. of Nathaniel (1), was brought up in the family of Deac. Chesholme, and the Church contributed something for his maintenance. He became a maltster, and res. at the S. W. corner of Dunster and Winthrop streets. By his w. Rebecca, he had Anna, b. 7 Sept. 1672, d. 5 Oct. 1673; Theophilus, b. 20 Sept. 1674; the following also were probably his children: Rebecca, who m.
