and her own daughter had already been imprisoned, and her husband had fled to escape a similar fate, when she was arrested on suspicion of witchcraft. She was long confined in prison, leaving four young children, one of them an infant, to the tender mercies of her neighbors. What made her case the more deplorable was, that she had long been partially deranged. During her confinement, her mother Thomas Andrew, the father of Mrs. within Jacobs, died about 1647, and his widow married Nicholas Wyeth; he died July 19, 1680, and she married Thomas Fox, Dec. 16, 1685; she died in 1698. presented a petition to the court in her behalf, on account of her mental infirmity, but in vain. She then addressed to the Governor and Council a petition which is still preserved in the archives of the Commonwealth, and which deserves insertion here:— To his Excellency Sir William Phips, Knt., Governor, and the honorable Council now sitting in Boston, the humble petition of Rebeccah Fox of Camb

At the Revolution he passed out of office; but was so quiet in his deportment that, although understood to be a royalist, he was not disturbed in the possession of his property. Daniel, Robert, was an early inhabitant of Cambridge. About 1638 he purchased of Thomas Blodgett a house and land, on the westerly side of Garden Street, which he sold about 1645 to Nicholas Wyeth. By his w. Elizabeth he had Elizabeth, b.——m. Thomas Fanning 17 May 1653; Samuel; Joseph; Sarah; Mary, b. 2 Sept. 1642.

an uplift of clay slate about seventy feet in height, overlooking Fresh Pond one and one-half miles at the south. A few rods southwest of this, continues Morse, there is another uplift of the same formation and of about the same size and altitude, but the rock does not, as in the former, crop out, yet it was doubtless one of The Rocks which constituted a well-known landmark; for Thomas Danforth, as if connected with Thomas Brigham, immediately after the above assignment, purchased of Nicholas Wyeth forty-eight acres upon the Rocks near Alewive meadow, having Thos. Brigham on the north. This lot must have included the site of the poorhouse, and probably the S. W. rock, and by its boundaries it contributes to the identification of Brigham's location, which had been ascertained from other evidence. I have perambulated the territory described here by Mr. Morse, yet without my assurance I think you would readily conceive that the second homestead of the Brigham family in this count

4. At one time he was living in Andover, where he married (1778) Frances, daughter of Joseph Phipps. Wyman makes brief mention of three children, but does not allude to his son John, of Norwich, whom I find referred to on the selectmen's books. Evidently Mr. Trumbull fell ill in 1782, when his family was not with him, for Jonathan Bradshaw received out of the rent for the school lot £ 3 8s. 7d. for boarding him four weeks and four days. In their anxiety, the selectmen sent a messenger, Mr. Wyeth, to Norwich to confer with the son about boarding his father for the ensuing winter. As no convenient place amongst us can be found, if you will take him and provide, the selectmen will see to it that you are paid. But the worthy town fathers were relieved of their responsibility in a different way, for November 4, 1782, we read: It is voted to pay Frances Trumbull £ 15 for her late husband, Timothy Trumbull, keeping school; and the next February there is a balance of a few more pounds t

it may be said, in modern terms, that it is now in a northwest part of Arlington. While originally bounded on the north by Charlestown Line, a change in the line at the incorporation of Winchester (originally Woburn) in 1850 left a trianglar piece in the northwest corner lying in Winchester. Turkey Hill is near the centre of the grant. Forest Street runs across the property, less than a mile from Massachusetts Avenue, where one leaves the electric car. The forty-eight-acre grant of Nicholas Wyeth, which adjoined that of Thomas1 Brigham on the northwest, later passed into possession of Henry Dunster, first president of Harvard College, and was held by his descendants many years. In a bill of sale of the Dunster piece given by John Steadman, county treasurer, to Thomas Danforth, in 1674, the lot is described as bounded n. (n. e.) by Woburn line. . . e. (s. e.) by a small farm layed out to Thomas Brigham. The Brigham grant also adjoined, on the Charlestown Line, a 300-acre farm of
