wn and Waltham line, till it strikes Lexington line; thence on Lexington line till it strikes Woburn line; thence on Woburn and Charlestown line to the little river first mentioned. This act contains the proviso that nothing therein shall be so construed as to impair the right or privilege of the Congregational minister of the town of West Cambridge, which he now holds in Harvard College. The teaching elders of six towns, namely Cambridge, Watertown, Charlestown, Boston, Roxbury and Dorchester, by act of 1642, were to constitute a part of the Board of Overseers of Harvard College.

known historian of Hadley, in a letter to the late Rev. Samuel Sewall, of Burlington, Mass. (April 6, 1846), says this genealogical account contains some mistakes which show how early and easily tradition runs into error. It may be justly supposed the writer relied entirely on his memory when at a very advanced age he wrote concerning matters, some of which occurred well nigh a century before he was born. Mr. Judd asserts, from written authentic sources, that Major Cooke settled first in Dorchester and removed thence to Windsor; whereas William Westwood settled first at Cambridge, and removed thence to Hartford, and was at Cambridge three or four years before 1634-5. He further declares Westwood could not have removed to Hadley and Maj. Cooke to Northampton about 1660, for the settlement of Hadley was not begun until 1659, and Northampton till 1654. Moreover, they removed up the river in 1660-1, and Westwood's wife was Bridget, not Sarah. (Vide Hist. Hadley, 594, and Savage, G. D

ing-house in West Cambridge. James Francis Brown, ordained as the Christian minister of the First Congregational Parish in West Cambridge on Nov. 1, 1848, was born in Boston, Jan. 4, 1820.
