married 1678 John Leeds; Jane married Hugh Hubbard, Lydia
married John Packer, and Hannah, who married probably John
Lockwood. He died 1685. Lewis Latham, Newport, of whom no more
is known, but that his daughter Frances married Jeremiah Clark, and
was mother of Gov. Walter and others ; but it may be that he never
came to our shores. Robert Latham, Cambridge, perhaps brother of
Cary; lived two years or more with Rev. Thomas Shepard ; removed
to Marshfield, where he was constable 1643, thence to Plymouth,
where he married Susanna, daughter of John Winslow, in 1649, and

Washburn. William Latham, Plymouth, came in the Mayflower 1620;
servant to Gov. Carver, only a youth, and, in 1627, had shared in the
division of cattle, being in the lot with Gov. Bradford, yet was never
named as one of Mayflower company in 1620 when a boy under
Carver's charge. By the discovery of Bradford's Hist, his right to
passage in the first ship is proved. He was of Duxbury 1637-9, and
Marshfield 1643, and 8, and in Bradford we see, that after so long
resid, here, he went home to England, thence to the Bahamas, and
died of starvation. Of one Latham in our country, there is idle
tradition that he was brought up with Charles I, but no benefit or
evil of the companionship is boasted. References : — Amer. Ancestry,

whom Hist. Coll. of Essex Inst., II, 15, gives all that can be learned
that will of 1665 mentions son-in-law John Neal and wife Mary, and
grand children Jeremiah, John, Jonathan, Joseph and Lydia. But
conjecture is bold enough to suggest that the same man is intended
where Felt. II, 447, places the graveyard "on the hill above Francis
Lawe's house." and there is no doubt of the soundness of conjecture
after turning to the article Lawes in this volume. Gilbert Laurie,
Boston 1686, went to preach that year in absence of Moody, at
Portsmouth, was probably a Scotchman, and may be presumed to
have gone home in 1689. LAYENUKE : — Stephen Lavenuke, a

1665, there purchased Swan Island in Kennebec River from the
Indians, and was an important man. Sullivan, 290; Holmes, I, 349;
Folsom, 128; Williamson, II, 172. Yet so ill did he agree with his wife
that their mutual complaints came to the Gen. Ct. 1669. Deodate
Lawson, son of Rev. Thomas, of Denton, Co. Norfolk, Eng., is first
heard of at Martha's Vineyard 1676, had been bred to divinity, it is
presumed, but nothing is known, for even Catton Mather, though he
gives him a place among his contempo. fellow serv. in Hecatompolis,
felt unable to introduce him into either of his three classes ; living
after few years at Boston, joined with the third, or Old South,
church. He took' oath of freeman 1680, was called to preach 1683 at
Salem village, now Danvers, where no church was yet formed ; but
George Burrows had taught the people above two years and they
would have ordered Lawson in the latter part of 1686; but having
lost his first wife and her daughter Ann, he luckily for him went to
settle at Scituate, second church, of which he was 3 minister, and
dismissed in 1698 for having been absent more than 2 years, gone
home. At Boston, by wife Jane he had Deodate, born 1682, and he
had 2nd wife, Deborah Allen, married 1690, by whom he had at
Scituate Deborah, born 1694, and Richard 1696. Deane, 195;
Calamy, II, 629. Henry Lawson, Massachusetts, probably came 1630,

Christopher Jacob L. John Lawton, Newton, L. I., 1656, may be the

will of 1675 he calls himself aged, names sons John and James, by
former wife, and Peter and John of his present wife Abigail,

these children, were born in England. James one of the sons, died

Savage thought to be same as Lay. Henry Lee, Manchester 1650,
was brother of Thomas of Ipswich, and prob. removed to Boston
1656. . John Lee, Ipswich 1640, had, it is said, come at)out 1635
from London, had John, born about 1639, and Joseph, 1643; died
1671. Family tradition makes him marry on our side of the water, yet
tells not the name of the wife, but gives him 4 daughters, 3 without
names, of which one married a Patch, one a Hunkins, another a
Tuttle, and exact account of the other is that she was called Ann,
died unmarried 1691. On same evidence it is shown that original
name was Leigh, and the son of -this man agreed to change it. John
Lee, Saco 1645, was of the grand jury that year, but in Dec. 1647
was dead, or removed. John Lee, Farmington 1653, died 1690, had

Samuel Lee, Boston, may seem only a transient visitor, as he is
called of Virginia in the record of his marriage 1655 to Eliz. Rowland
of B. Yet perhaps he was the Maiden man who had Eliz. born 1670,
and she may have married 1690, Jonathan Howard. Samuel Lee,
Boston, born in London 1623, bred at Magdalen Coll., Oxford, there
created M. A. 1648, and, in violat. of their rights, made 1651, one of
the Proctors of the Univ. See Wood's Fasti Oxon., II, 164, He came

public fast in B. 1691, and embarked for home ; on voyage was
taken by a French privateer, carried into St. Maloes, there died in
prison same year. Mather, III, 223, makes some amends for the
brevity of .his narrative, by the praise of its subject. But Baylies
follows Eliot in more sober estimate of him. See 4 Mass. Hist. Coll.,
II, 122. Samuel Lee, Maiden, freeman 1671, died 1676, aged 36,
married 1662, Mercy Call, daughter of Thomas. He may have had
Mercy to marry 1686, Richard Wicks ; and his widow married 1677,
John Allen. Thomas Lee, Ipswich 1648, brother of Henry, and John,
died 1662, aged about 82. Thomas Lee, Lyme, came about 1641
with his mother and two sisters, Phebe, and Jane, the father, whose
name was Thomas, having died, as tradition was, on the voyage of
smallpox. The surv. came from Boston to Saybrook, though the
father of the mother by the same authority, is called Brown of
Providence. This son must have been very young, for Lyme rec.
gives him children up to 1692, and his first, John, by wife Sarah
Kirkland, was born 1670; Thomas 1672, Sarah 1675 ; and after this
wife died, 1676, he married for second wife Mary, perhaps daughter
of Balthazar De Wolf, and had Phebe, born 1677; Mary 1679, Eliz.,
William 1684, Stephen, Hannah, and four more children, one of
whom died young. He was ensign, represent. 1676, and died 1705,
