r. Moodey went to prayer in behalf of those going to sea, and those staying behind, in a very heavenly manner. （Am. Quart. Reg., XI. 269). After her departure, Mr. Usher seems to have resided for a time at Groton, where, as I judge from the names of the witnesses, he executed his will, dated at Nonacoicos 17 Aug. 1639, in which his dissatisfaction at the conduct of his wife is clearly manifested. Professing a willingness to forgive her, however, he says, To my wife, if she comes over to New England before she heareth of my death, with a intention in love to live with me, then I bestow on her 300£. After recapitulating a long list of grievances, he appropriates a sum of money for the publication of his letters and other writings, as to the evil of having a wife only in name, and to seek themselves in a way of separation from their husbands, or the government of wives to their husbands, or the duty of wives to their husbands, & c. But this was not his only nor his last trouble. Whe

If this be true, Hezekiah (1) must have been son or grandson of the Archbishop; but James is not a family name along his descendants so far as I have seen.

Thomas says: In 1692, a respectable man, whose name was Hezekiah Usher, was accused of witchcraft, in consequence of which accusation he was ordered to be confined in the common prison; but on account of the goodness of his character, he was, by connivance, allowed to secrete himself in the house of a friend, and afterward to escape out of the hands of his persecutors, until the delusion or madness of the times in part subsided. （Hist. Printing, II. 410, note.) He closed his troubled life at Lynn, July 11th, was brought to Boston and laid in his father's tomb July 14th, 1697. （Sewall) His w.
