10. Zechariah, s. of Aaron (6), m. Mary Stebbins, 16 Aug. 1743, and had Aaron, bap. 16 June 1744, d. 22 Dec. 1746;¹ Aaron, bap. 10 Oct. 1746,1 grad. 1767, and d.

11. Andrew, s. of Andrew (7), m. Mary, only dau. of William Blair Townsend, Esq., 1 Nov. 1770; she d. 13 Mar. 1797, a. 46, and he m. Abigail, dau. of Bartholomew Richardson of Woburn. He inherited the homestead and, after his mother's death, the whole estate, including more than a hundred acres in the northeasterly section of Cambridgeport. This tract embraced, substantially, besides a large quantity of marsh, all the upland bounded northerly by Lincoln Street, easterly by the marsh, southerly by School Street and westerly by a line passing through the centre of the Brick Meeting-house lot, nearly parallel with Columbia Street. About 1782 he removed to Tewksbury, but returned about 1796, and resided several years in the house on Plymouth Street, recently destroyed, familiarly known as the Cholera House, having sold the homestead, in 1794, to the Corporation of Harvard College. In 1805 he erected the house now standing at the S. W. corner of Hampshire and Windsor streets, where he subsequently resided. When the great speculations in land commenced, about 1802, he sold large portions of his estate, united with others in laying out streets for a great city, and gave to the Town the school-house lot at the corner of Windsor and School streets, and to the proprietors of the Brick Meeting-house the easterly half of the square on which that house stood. He was Town Clerk, 1769-1780, and Town Treasurer, 1777, 1778. It is remarkable, that the office of Town Clerk was held by three generations of the same family, father, son, and grandson, for eighty consecutive years, and that the name of the incumbent was Andrew Bordman, through the whole period. The first two also held the office of Treasurer, for sixty-eight successive years. They deserve the thanks of posterity for the very legible and neat appearance of their records. It is to be lamented, however, that in regard to births and deaths, after about 1740, the record is so meagre. He d. 27 July 1817, a. nearly 72; his w. Abigail d. 27 Aug. 1848, a. 78. As he had no children, the male line, in this branch of the family, became extinct.

12. William, S. of William (9), m. Sally McCleary, 17 Mar. 1784, and had William, b. 1785, d. unm. 16 Mar. 1851; Sally, b. 1787, m. Isaac Bosworth, 1 Dec. 1805, and d. 2 Oct. 1842; John, b. 1789; Andrew, b. 1792; Moses, b. 1794; James, b. 1796; Esther, b. 1798, m. Joseph Hiscock, 23 Sept. 1821; Charles, b. 1801, m. Christiana Reed 14 June 1827, and d. of cholera at Cincinnati, July 1834. William the f. in 1802 sold his interest in the homestead, and erected a house at the S. W. corner of Washington and Cherry streets, where he d. 22 Sept. 1829; his w. Sally d. 25 Jan. 1837, a. 71.

13. Richard, s. of Zechariah (10), was a bricklayer, and inherited a part of the homestead at the westerly corner of Harvard Square and Dunster Street. He m. Prudence Dockum, 10 April, 1794, and d. s. p. 17 Dec. 1816; his w. Prudence m. Deac. Levi Farwell 21 May 1818, and d. in August 1847, a. 72.
