Torrey the f. was a blacksmith and res. on the southerly side of Brattle Street, near Story Street; he d. at St. Catherines, Canada, while on a visit 18 Mar. 1852, and was buried here.

Harlakenden, Roger, whose ancestry is traced from William Harlakenden (who d. in Wood-Church in Kent 30 Ap. 1081, was a younger son of a wealth family at Earls-Colne, Essex Co., England, and came to Camb. in the same ship with Shepard. in 1635. He had buried his w. Emlen, 18 Aug. 1634; and he brought with him his 2d w. Elizabeth, dau. of Godfrey Bosville, Esq. (m. 4 June 1735), by whom he had Elizabeth, b. Dee. 1636; Margaret, b. Sept 1638. Roger the f. purchased the Gov. Dudley estate, at the N. W. corner of Dunster and South streets, where he d. of small-pox, 17 Nov. ¹ 1638, a. 27; his w. Elizabeth m. Herbert Pelham, Esq., by whom she had several children. Though Mr. Harlakenden was young at the time of his death, he was much employed and trusted in public office. Shepard had known him in England and had received favor and protection from him and his family. Less than two months after his arrival here, he was elected a Townsman or Selectman. The next year, 1636, he was elected an Assistant; and in December of the same year, on the first division of the military forces, he was commissioned Lieut.-colonel of the regiment embracing the towns of Cambridge, Charlestown, Watertown, Concord, and Dedham. All these offices he held until he died. His death occasioned public lamentation. Gov. Winthrop, in his journal, says, ‘he was a very godly man, and of good use both in the commonwealth and in the church. He was buried with military honor, because he was Lieutenant-colonel.’ Shepard describes him as ‘my most dear friend, and most precious servant of Jesus Christ.’ His daughters, if they survived so long, probably went to England with their step-father in 1648; and it is not known that any of his descendants have since resided in this country.

Mabel, sister of Roger (1), m. Governor John Haynes.

Harris, Richard, d. here 29 Aug. 1644. Little is known of him, though from his being styled ‘Mr.’ he was evidently a person of considerable importance. He seems to have had some connection with the college. There are indications that he was brother to Mrs. Dunster, formerly the wife of Rev. Jose Glover. He probably had no family.

Hart, Stephen, in 1635 owned a house at the northeast corner of Holyoke Street and Holyoke Place. he rem. soon afterwards to Hartford, and thence to Farmington. he was a Deacon there, and d. 1682-3, leaving sons John, Stephen, and Thomas. He was also Deputy to the General Court 1646, 1648, 1649. Porter, in his Historical Discourse at Farmington, 1840, says that he was Deacon ‘of the original church formed by Thomas Hooker in Cambridge, in 1633.’ He also informs us that John Hart, prob. s. of Stephen, was burned in his own house 1666, with all his family, except his eldest son who was absent; the fire was supposed to have been kindled by the Indians.
