1645 and 1650.—Francis had afterwards other children doubtless, and his descendants are still in Middleborough and various other towns and sections of the country.

   FAUNCE.—John and Manasseh Faunce arrived at Plymouth in the third ship, the Ann, in 1623.   We have met with no further notice of Manasseh.

   John Faunce m. Patience, D. of George Morton, and had Thomas 1646, and Priscilla, and perhaps others.   Priscilla m. Joseph Warren about 1650.—Mary Faunce m. William Harlow 1658.—Mercy Faunce m. Nathaniel Holmes 1662.—These two might also have been Ds. of John.

   Thomas (s. of the above) was the distinguished Elder of Plymouth Church, and d. 1745 very aged; he had Patience 1673, John 1678, Martha 1680.   Many descendants of these respectable ancestors are remaining in different parts of the County.

   FORD.—William Ford was one of the original proprietors of Bridgewater; was son no doubt of wid. Ford, who arrived in the Fortune 1621 with three children, viz: William, Martha, and John; and it is said she had a son born the day the ship arrived; how long had she been a widow?   William Ford sen'r, on the military roll at Marshfield 1643, d. 1676, æ. 72; his wid. Anna; his children were William, Michael, Margaret, and Milicent; one of them wife of John Carver; his grand children were John, and William Ford, and John Carver.—Martha, D. of wid. Ford, m. Wm. Nelson 1640.—William Ford, the proprietor of Bridgewater, whoever he was, must have been in Duxbury between 1645 and 1650.   The name is still common in Marshfield, Abington, and other parts of the County.

   HALL.—Edward Hall, one of the original proprietors of Bridgewater, was of course an inhabitant of Duxbury before 1650.   We have no particular account of him or his family.—Joseph Hall of Yarmouth m. wid. Mary Morton, relict of John Morton; she was a Faunce; Morton died of a grievous wound 1708.   The name is still common in the old colony.   There was an Edward Hall at Cambridge 1636.

   HOBART.—Edmund Hobart with his wife and son Joshua, and Ds. Rebeckah and Sarah, and his servant Henry Gibbs, came from Hingham, Old England, and settled here in Hingham, New England, 1633; his ss. Edmund, Thomas, and Rev. Peter, also soon followed him, the two former the same year, and the last in 1635; they first lived in Charlestown, but when the Rev. Peter arrived with a number of his church, they soon began to explore the country, and went up a small river at the bottom of Boston Bay, now called Hingham Cove, where they found a few of their friends, whom they immediately joined, bepleased with the situation, and at once concluded to settle there,
