THE WILLIAM BARSTOW FAMILY, by Arthur Hitchcock Radasch, page 3, 5, 6.
    Was an extensive landholder. He received many large grants from the Colonial Court, embracing many hundreds of acres now lying partly in Abington and partly in Hanover MA. These grants were in the vicinity of those made to Cornet Stetson, whose will Joseph Barstow witnessed. In March 1672, liberty was "graunted and allowed to Joseph Barstow to keep an ordinary at the place where he now lives, and that he be provided always with necessaries for the entertainment of travellers, and keep good order in his house, that there be no just cause of complaint against him in that behalfe" (Col. Rec. 3:78). The keeper of an "ordinary", or tavern, in the early days of New England was an important and homorable occupation that was quite differently regarded from that of the tavern keeper of later years. One of the most important facilities in the new community was a safe and comfortable place where travellers could stop for food and refreshment, and licenses were granted only to men of character and responsibility.
    Joseph's house was on Broadway in Hanover, some distance east of the old William Barstow homestead. In 1674, the Colony began making preparations for the rumored war with King Philip that was expected to break out at any time, and as one of these preparations a garrison of twelve men was ordered, in 1675, to be extablished in the home of Joseph Barstow. This was the only garrison house that stood in the present of Hanover, although other garrison houses were fitted out in Scituate. This garrison was in action in the spring of 1676 when the Narragansetts, after ravages in Rhode Island, penetrated even to Plymouth and killed a number of inhabitants of Massachusetts in the course of their march.

808. Joseph DOW was born 20 Oct 1663 in Amesbury, Essex Co., Massachusetts. He died 5 Feb 1734/1735 in Seabrook, Rockingham Co., New Hampshire. Joseph married Mary CHALLIS on 25 May 1687 in Amesbury, Essex Co., Massachusetts. [Parents]

OLD FAMILIES OF SALISBURY AND AMESBURY, by David W. Hoyt, page 89, 90.
THE BOOK OF DOW, by Robert Piercy Dow, page 96.
    Left a widower, Joseph Dow could not expect to make a second marriage as brilliantly as his first, for the Quaker colony was then holding very much aloof. Nevertheless, he was in the prime of manhood, of promise, and, as times went, of considerable property. That he sank into obsecurity is partly due to the surrender of his own ambition, partly to the Seabrook environment.
Seabrook had few records of its own and was becoming forgotten by the rest of the world. Joseph's 2nd m and 2nd family were unknown until 1918, altho a number of Dow were known, unplaced but near to him. A recent search of court rec in Salem cleared up a mystery which has been the despair of Dow genealogist for forty years. It is now known that Joseph lived in his own home until his death.

836. Andrew DUNNING was born about 1664 in Ireland. He died 18 Jan 1736/1737 in Maquoit, Brunswick Co., Maine. Andrew married Susan BOND in , , Ireland.

NEW ENGLAND HISTORICAL & GENEALOGICAL REGISTER. Vol. LXXIV, THE DUNNINGS OF
    MAINE, page 99.
    Andrew Dunning came to New England in 1717, and in that year bought lots in the town of Brunswick as the records of the Pejepscot Company declare. The following year, as it seems, his family came over with the immigrants from the north of Ireland. His son, David Dunning, age 86 in 1793, testified that he had lived in Brunswick "ever since I was a boy of twelve years of age." On 8 Oct. 1787 the same David Dunning deposed "that on or about the year 1718, I came first to Boston and in the same vessel with Mr. Andrew McFadden and his wife (who is now a widow) and that soon after we came to Boston we came down together in the same vessel to the eastern country; that the said McFadden and his wife went to live at a place in Merry Meeting Bay called Somersett.- The deponent adds that he has lived in the town of Brunswick constantly ever since the year one thousand seven hundred and eighteen and within ten or fifteen miles of Somersett aforesaid." (Cf. Bangor Historical Magazine, Vol. 6, pages 38-39).
    The ship Maccullum, James Law, master, arrived at Boston from Londonderry, Ireland, 1 Sept. 1718. The same ship sailed from Boston to Merry Meeting Bay on 8 Sept. 1718. Rev. James Woodside in 1723 said in a petition that "he with 40 families, consisting of above 160 persons did in the year 1718 embarque on a ship at Derry Lough in Ireland in order to erect a colony at Casco Bay, in your Majestys Province of Main in New England. That being arrived they made a settlement at a place called by the Indians Pegipscot, but by them Brunswick, within 4 miles from Fort George, where he had a garrison house."
    That garrison house was built by the Pejepscot Co. at Maquoit, on Middle Bay, in the southerly part of Brunswick. Near by Andrew Dunning bought his lots and built his house, on the farm occupied in 1878 by Patrick McManus. Here he lived as a blacksmith and farmer. "much respected for his integrity and uprightness of Character." He was buried in the old cemetery near the first meeting house, on Main Street, a mile or so south of Bowdoin College, and his gravestone is said to be the oldest one in Brunswick and to have been made by his son James. The inscription reads as follows:
    Here lyeth the Body of Mr. Andrew Duning who departed this life
         Ianawary the 18th Anno Dom 1736 aged 72 Yrs.

837. Susan BOND died 1737/1738 in Maquoit, Brunswick Co., Maine.

THE NEW ENGLAND H & G REGISTER, Vol. LXXIV, page 99.
    AD married, according to tradition, Susan Bond, who perished in the burning of her house a year after her husband's death. A negro slave narrowly escaped death at the same time.

    Shepards of York County, Maine.
    John, b. presumably in EN abt 1634, settled in Kittery ME and died before 1719; married not found.
    In 1667 he sold a house and ten acres, had grants of land in 1669 and 1671, and witnessed a will in 1676. In Apr 1691, aged about 57, he deposed about building a fence for Mr. Francis Trickey some 16 years before. He was highway surveyor, 1693-94. In 1695 he was licensed to retail beer, cider, perry and victuals. On 12 May 1701, he bought land, the deed being witnessed by John Shepard, Jr. On 7 Oct 1705, John, Sr., conveyed to "my son," John, Jr. the home place and all land except 50 acres on York Road, Margaret Shepard witnessing the deed. In 1713 and 1714 John bought land without the distinguishing "Sr." or "Jr."; this was probably the son, and the father was certainly deceased by 1719. (York Deeds).

856. Robert DURFEE was born 10 Mar 1665 in Portsmouth, Newport Co., Rhode Island. He died 10 May 1718 in Freetown, Bristol Co., Massachusetts. Robert married Mary SANFORD on 1687 in Portsmouth, Newport Co., Rhode Island. [Parents]

THE DESCENDANTS OF THOMAS DURFEE OF PORTSMOUTH, RI, by Wm. F. Reed, Vol. I, Washington , DC, Gibson Bros., Printers & Bookbinders, 1902, page 19 & 20.
    Robert Durfee settled in Freetown, Mass., on a tract of land which his father purchased of William Brewster and John Rogers for 65 pounds, as it appears by deed May 29, 1779, one-half of tenth lot of Freeman's purchase. He was the first settler by the name of Durfee in Freetown, Mass. (later Fall River). The records of Portsmouth, RI, August 20, 1692, show as follows; Robert Durfee of Freetown, in the county of Bristol, New England, bought of John Sanford (who states that Robert is his brother-in-law) 20 acres, more or less, call "Sanfords land," in Portsmouth, for 60 pounds.
    The Records of Portsmouth also show taht on February 6, 1698, Robert Durfvee, of Freetown, Mass., bought 35 acres of land, near Taunton river, of Peleg Shearman and Daniel Wilbur.
    On November 1, 1700, Mr. Durfee was chosen, with other persons, to settle the question of a boundary line between Freetown and Tiverton.
    In the early records of Freetown he is often mentioned.
    On page 222, of Vol. 20, NE Historical & Genealogical Register of 1866, is the following statement:
    "Robert Durfee was a lieutenant of militia, a Selectman of Freetown 4 years, assessor 4 years. Town clerk 1 year. Representative to General Court 1716. He was buried on a hill near Taunton river, at a place called 'Gages Banks,' and when the Fall River Rail Road was buril (136 years after) his remains were disinterred and removed to the easterly side of the highway leading from Freetown to Fall river.
    (This spot will not be forgotten by the writer, who was permitted to visit the neglected grave of Mr. Durfee, the "first named Durfee born in America," while a guest of Walter C. Durfee, Esq., in August, 1898. The day was warm and the way up through the tangled undergrowth and vines was difficult. My friend thought he knew the way, but finally had to call to our assistance an Italian whom we found picking wild blackberries.
    It is hoped that a real interest in the preservation of these graves, or rather the removal of the remains, in some public burial plans may be undertgaken by the descendants of Robert Durfee later on.) WILL OF ROBERT DURFEE
    1718, Probate Records at Taunton, Mass. Probated date, June 2, 1718.
    Item.--To Mary Durfee, my wife, all movables without doors, and in house, &c., except a stone house to son Thomas.
    Item.--Meadow to wife, after her death to be divided to son Peleg and daughter Mary and Eliza (or Elizabeth.)
    Item.--To Thomas, John, Benjamin, Peleg, Mary, and Elizabeth land at Pocasset Ferry, Rhode Island, which I bought of John Sanford, wife to be exx.
    The following inscription is on the tombstone of Leiutenant Durfee; LIEUT. ROBERT DURFEE, Died May 10, 1718.   Aged 58 years.

857. Mary SANFORD was born 30 Mar 1664 in Portsmouth, Newport Co., Rhode Island. She died 15 Nov 1748 in Freetown, Bristol Co., Massachusetts. [Parents]
