the reigne of Qu. Eliza. Other entries in his diary concerning his son John relate concisely certain important events in the life of the future governor, viz., his entrance to college, his courtship, first marriage and honeymoon. These entries are as follows, viz.:— 1602. The 2d of December I rode to Cambridge. The VIIIth John my soonne was admitted into, Trinitie College. 1604. The XXIIId of Aprill my sonne returned from Cambridge. 1604. The Vth of Novembre my soonne did ryde into Essex wth Willm Forth to Great Stambridge. 1605. . . .

s now Alewife brook, and in 1634 he was with Craddock granted the fish weir on the Mystic, at Medford, and again another grant of 1,000 acres or more on Concord river. Winthrop seems to have temporarily resided in Cambridge in 1632. He probably resided at Ten Hills summers, and at Boston winters, maintaining an establishment at Ten Hills the year round. The original Ten Hills farm, as granted by the general court to Winthrop in 1631, comprised all the land south of Mystic river, from Broadway park to Medford centre, the southerly boundary of the farm being Broadway as far as the Powder House, and then by a line now obliterated to Medford centre. Ten Hills might with some reason be called a Gubernatorial Demense, being with occasional interruptions owned in families of governors or their associates, from its first grant, to the present time. Its first owner was Governor Winthrop, of Massachusetts; then his son, John Winthrop, Jr., governor of Connecticut; then Charles Lidgett

finally brought to trial, convicted of fraud, and also bigamy, and was imprisoned and his ears cut off. The unfaithfulness of Luxford caused Winthrop to revoke certain testaments in his will, in which document he says that, through his servants, his debts are £ 2,600, whereof he did not know of more than £ 300. In 1645 one of his worst misfortunes in public life befell him; this was his accusation and trial for an invasion of the rights of the people in quelling mutinous practices in Hingham, from which charge, however, he was finally acquitted. His address to the general court after acquittal is certainly worthy of repetition here. He said: I shall not now speak anything about the past proceedings of court, or the persons therein concerned. . . . I am well satisfied that I was publickly accused, and that I am now publickly acquitted. . . . But give me leave, before you go, to say something that may rectifie the opinions of many people. . .The questions that have trou

ater in Charlestown. Blackstone, the lone settler of Boston, as the record says, came and acquainted the Governor of an excellent Spring there; withal inviting him and soliciting him thither. This spring was probably on the south side of Spring lane, not far from Devonshire street, and from which the lane was named. On September 6, 1631, Winthrop was granted 600 acres of land on the south side of Mystic river, which he named Ten Hills. In 1632 he was granted Conant's Island, in Boston harbor, and changed its name to Governor's Garden, he planting orchards, fruit, and vines there. It is now Governor's Island, the site of Fort Winthrop. In November, 1632, he received a further grant of fifty acres of land near Wannottymies river, which is now Alewife brook, and in 1634 he was with Craddock granted the fish weir on the Mystic, at Medford, and again another grant of 1,000 acres or more on Concord river.
