[ref 37:464] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Tufts, Peter Father Tufts, Peter Mother, Birth Date 1617 England Norfolk Tibenham* [ref 10] a small village in south Norfolk - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Peter Tufts death 13 May 1700 Malden Middlesex hus of Mary 83y [ref 76] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - yoeman, planter by 1637 in Charlestown MA; by 1638 owned 43 acres 1646 ferryman on Mystic River(later known as the Penny Ferry) by 1647 in Malden, one of earliest and largest land owners 3 May 1665 and 15 Oct 1679 recorded as freeman of Malden and the Massachusetts Bay Co - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Henry Swillaway was the unfortunate servant of Peter Tufts, who "beate his man with the greate end of A Goade Sticke,' and 'said that he would tie him to a tre and beat him for he was his monie.' Under such provocations, it is not strange that the servant began to retaliate and 'abused' his master and 'his dame in blose and words.' Thomas Mudge saw him 'strike his master upon his brest with his hand;' and Mary Mudge testified: 'that she being at Goodman Torfs of an arand; Gudie Torfe and she hereing the Dine in the yard, we went out of the dore, and his man had got up a great stone and held it up to thro at his master, as I conseved, but when he se me he threwe it doune; I further Testifie I herd him cal his master base Rouge.' It may be supposed that neither Goodman Tufts nor the rebellious Swillaway could desire to keep close company for a long time, and accordingly the latter became servant to John Bunker. He was soon brought before the Court by his late master for his miscarriages; but, in the end, the master got more justice than he liked. James Barratt, his neighbor, said: ' I James Barot aged about 40 yeres or ther aboutes I doth heare testifie that I herd goodman tufes sai that he had not Justis before the Debeti Gove; in the cas betwen him and his man and for his man was wrong out of his hand Therefor he wod make it appear at this corte:' Thus was government, in the person of Richard Bellingham, again defamed as it had been aforetime by Thomas Squire. Peter Tufts was speedily convicted and humbly acknowledged his sin, with the wish that it might 'not only be a warning to myselfe for the future, unto a greater watchfulnes over all my words & wayes, but also a meanes to detere all others that either have or may heare of, from all offenses of this or the like nature.' Well would it have been for the goodnamn if 'Gudie Torfe' had profited by the experience of her husband; but her woman's nature could not control her tongue, which soon brought her to grief. James Barrett and William Luddington had been witnesses in the Swillaway case, and it was for slander against them that she was found guilty. The penalty was: 'damages ten shillings apeece, & an acknowledgment to be made by the defendant at Mauldon, upon the Lord's day in the afternoone, within the space of thirty dayes next ensueing, and to be made after the publicke exercise is ended, before the congregation depart in mann(er) following via. in these words. That whereas I Mary Tufts am legally convicted of slandering and wronging James Barrat & William Luddington, or any other whom my words might reflect upon, by speaking Rashly, irregularly or sinfully, I am heartily sorry, & doe desire to be humbled for the same & in case of non observance to doe as above p-mised either to pay ye said ten shill. apeece, or making such acknowledgemt both for mannr & time: the Jury do find that ye defft shall pay uinto ye pts fifty shill apeece, & costs of Court, thiry one shill & two pence."
