DESCENDANTS OF WILLIAM CHASE OF YARMOUTH
Page 242-3
The Yarmouth Register for July 15, 1847, says: “John Crow,
William Chase, William Nicholson, Thomas Howes, Yelverton Crow, Nicholas
Simpkins, Thomas Starr, John Hall, William Hedge and Edward Sturges sustained
excellent characters as men and citizens, and at any and all times such men
would command respect. Of such men the first church in Yarmouth was composed,
and
their posterity may well feel an honest pride that they are the descendants of
so worthy an ancestry.” October 28, 1645, Yarmouth sent out for thirteen days to
the “ Narrohigganset “ expedition William Northcoate, William Twyneing, Teague
Joanes, Henry Wheildon and William Chase, drummer.

Hence the action of the court, March, 1640, approving
the doings of the committee, but ordering that they " shall receive no
more inhabitants without certificate."
Not withstanding a special court "was held in town, June 17, 1642," in
consequence of continued dissatisfaction, " by Edward Winslow, Miles
Standish, and Edmund Freeman, gents., three of the assistants of the
government," when and where " it was ordered and concluded," as
represented, " to the satisfaction of all that Mr. Standish be joined to
the committee
of Yarmouth," and an arrangement was made " for assigning the lands by
lot."
The committee were allowed for their services: Mr. Thacher 110 acres
of upland and 26 of meadow ; Mr. Howes and Mr. Crowe each 80 acres
of upland and 20 of meadow.
An agreement had been made, "May 15, by Capt. Standish, Mr. Thacher, Mr.
Crowe, and Mr. Howes, the committee on the part of the plantation
of Yarmouth ; and by Mr. Hoar, Mr. Hawes, Wm. Mckerson, Wm.
Palmer, and Robert Dennis, in behalf of the town, that Mr. Starr,
Wm. Nickerson, and Ht. Dennis shall be joined to the committee for this
present year."

At what time Rev. JOHN MILLER removed is quite
uncertain. See
Vol. I, 249, 250. We had supposed that he remained until called to
Gròton; but were probably mistaken. His residence here must have ceased
long
before. His wife, Lydia, d. in Boston, Aug. 7, 1656. Besides those
mentioned in Vol. I., and probably other children b. in England, was
Mehitable,
b. in Roxbury, July 13, 1638, who m. John Crowe, of Yarmouth;
Lydia, b. 1640, m. Fish, of Sandwich; Susannah, b. 1647, d. at
Charlestown, Oct.
14, 1669; Elizh. b. 1649, m. Samuel Frost, of Billerica, Other drs. were
Faith who m. Nathl. Winslow, of Marshfield, Aug. 3, 1664 ; and Hannah

In 1673, in the month of January, Mr. JOHN CROWELL died.
In 1674; the ever-to-be-regretted loss of town records
by fire occurred.
A memorandum of former transactions in the handwriting
of
Mr. Anthony Thacher, and witnessed by his sons, appears, certified
at this date, showing that Mashantampaine was fully compensated
for lands at or near Stony Cove, etc.
" Monamoyick " was " ordered to be included in
the town of Eastham." It had
been hitherto considered as "within the liberties of Yarmouth."
It was ordered, June 3, " that the freemen of the several towns
have their names placed on record ; none to be proposed hereafter
as freemen, unless approved by a majority of the town for
Mr. CROWELL came over 1635 ; in 1638 sold lands in Charlestown, and
was early in Yarmouth, with his wife Elishua.
He had sons, Moses, bap. in Charlestown, 1637, who prob. d. young;
John, Thomas, and Samuel.
The name was long written Crow, sometimes Crowes, Croel, and finally
subsided into the present form.
We could wish that the loss of town records ended here ; but many
pages of subsequent date are mutilated, worn, or nearly illegible.
" Witnesseth these presents, that I, Masshantampaigne, Sagamore, doth
acknowledge that I have received and had of Anthony Thacher, Mr. John
Crow, and Mr. Thomas Howes, all and every particular thing and things
that I was to have for all and every part and parcel of lands," etc.,
etc. . . "
which sd. lands I sold to Mr. William Bradford, Esq. I say, I
acknowledge
myself fully satisfied and paid, . . and I do forever acquit the sd.
Thacher, Crow, and Howes. . .
In witness whereof I have hereunto set
my hand the 8th day of May, 1657.
The mark \ \ of MASSHANTAMPAIGNE. "
Signed and delivered in presence of "
JOHN THACPIER, "
JUDAH THACHER. "
There were also present Mr. John Crow, his wife, and Elizabeth
Thacher, and
Indian Felix." " I John Thacher, aged about 35 years, do testify that
when my father
took this above writing of Masshantampaigne, I was by and heard him own
it, and saw him set his hand ; and I set my name at that time as a
witness." "
Taken upon oath, this 9th clay of Feb. 1674, before me, "
JOHN FREEMAN, Assistant."
