Grace, and Ds. Elizabeth and Susanna.   Many of the name are still living in Plymouth and other parts of the old Colony.—[See Carver, p. 130.]

   CHANDLER.—Edmund Chandler was one of the original proprietors of Bridgewater, an inhabitant of Duxbury of course, before 1650.   We have no particular account of him or his family.   Those bearing the name, and probably his descendants, have been and still are numerous in the old Colony, and other parts of the country.—[See Chandler, p. 137.]

   CHURCH.—Richard Church came over 1630, then æ. 22; propounded in Mass., where he first arrived, probably, 1630, and made freeman in Plymouth 1632, lived at Eel River in Plymouth till 1649, when he sold out and went first to Eastham, probably 1649, and then to Hingham, where he had a D. Deborah b. 1657, and d. at Dedham, Dec. 27, 1668; but was buried at Hingham; his will dated at Hingham 1668; was a Carpenter; a volunteer against the Pequoits 1637, called "Sergeant Church;" made the gun carriages; he, with John Thompson, built the first meeting house in Plymouth a. 1637; m. Elizabeth, D. of Richard Warren, a. 1635; she d. a wid. at Hingham 1670; he had Elizabeth, Benjamin 1639, Richard*, Joseph, Nathaniel, Caleb, Abigail 1648, and Deborah 1657.   It is doubtful if he ever lived, or was really settled, at Eastham or Dedham.   Being a Carpenter, and of some repute in his calling, he was doubtless employed much abroad, and at these places among others; he had early friends at Watertown and Charlestown, some of whom perhaps came over with him.   Elizabeth m. Caleb Hobart at Hingham 1657, and died 1659.—Abigail m. Samuel Thaxter at Hingham 1666, and d. Dec. 1677.—Deborah m. John Irish, Jr., perhaps of Little Compton.—The father gave Joseph, whom he made Executor of his will, a double portion on account of the "lameness of his hand."

   2.   Col. Benjamin (s. of the above) the famous warrior, was born in Plymouth; was of his father's occupation, a carpenter; m. Alice, D. of Constant Southworth of Duxbury, 1667, where he also settled, and thence removed to Saconet, Little Compton, about 1667, and was a magistrate for Saconet and Pocasset, which places included Little Compton and Tiverton; appeared also among the first freemen of Bristol 1681, and was a Selectman and Deputy from Bristol in 1682, and d. January 7, 1718, æ. 79, and was buried at Little Compton.   He had Thomas (editor of his father's life), Constant (a captain under his father) Benjamin, a bachelor, Edward (whose only s. was Dea. Benja.), Charles, who had a numerous family, and an only D. who m. a Rothbotham of Newport.   His historians and descendants have erroneously said he was born at Duxbury; knowing he went from thence to Saconet, they supposed he was of course born
