full story----------------------------------

Walley, Christopher, Concord, freem. 1682, whose name by Paige is read Walley from the Col. Rec. and by Shurtleff, Walers; so unusual a patronymic that I doubt the skilfulness of the clk.

But the first w. m. 3 Apr. 1661, was Eliz. d. of Robert Wing, wh. brot. him John, 27 Aug. 1662; Eliz. 8 May 1665; Eliz. again, 28 July 1667; Samuel, 1 Feb. 1671; Thomas, 26 Feb. 1673; and after many hours devot. at var. times to this name, I acknowledge little confidence and less satisfact. ‡||JOHN, Boston, s. of Rev.

Strong suspicion is felt that some of these may be ch. of the other John. But indeed the whole is uncert. exc. John. He was of ar. co. 1671, freem. 1673, capt. in the milit. 1679, in 1683 rem. to Barnstable, or other town in Plymouth jurisdict. was engag. much in settlem. of Bristol, and assist. of that Col. 1684, and one of the council nam. in the royal commissn. to Andros 1686. The yr. foll. the overthrow of A. Walley had the disadvantage of being chief milit. officer in the expedit. of 1690 against Quebec, wh. Sir William Phips had project. and of wh. he took all the command; and thus was Walley reliev. of real responsibility, tho. expos. to pop. censure by the errors of Phips. Sir W. on board ship summoned the city, and directed all the land operations of the campaign, for wh. he had no adequate skill, and in the ill success of wh. his eminent. incautious panegyrist natural. saw more of “the hand of heaven” than of the ignrance and rashness of his hero. See Magn. II. 51, the most curious biogr. of Sir William Phips, afterwards made Gov. of Mass. by the f. of Mather dictat. to King William III. Hutch. Hist. of Mass. I. gives Walley's acco. in Appx.

Nothing can be more certain, than that he was b. at least 8 or 10 yrs. bef. the com. of Rev. Thomas, for he was an Assist. of Plym. Col. as early as 1684, beside being sw. as freem. 1673. His d.
