I should not be doing justice to this town, and discharging my duty on this occasion in accordance with your best sentiments, did I fail to remind you of some, a few at least, of those men of mark whose names are intimately connected with your history. In all my recital of the important events in your earlier annals you must have noticed the prominence and importance attached to the name of Tyng . The founder of the family here was Hon. Edward Tyng , who died Dec. 28, 1681 , aged eighty-one years. Col. Tyng was born in Dunstable, England , in 1600 , settled in Boston as a merchant in 1639 , was representative in 1661 and 1662 , assistant from 1668 to 1681 , and colonel of the Suffolk regiment. He left six children, two sons and four daughters. His sons were prominent in their day, and his daughters will be remembered as among the foremost women of their time; Hannah having married Rev. Thomas Weld , a leading clergyman of this town and of the colony; Eunice being the wife of President Willard , of Harvard College; and Rebecca having married Gov. Dudley . Col. Tyng had the strength, energy, and courage of a leading and successful colonist, had enterprise enough to leave the Old World for the opportunities of the New, sagacity enough to become a distinguished and prosperous merchant, and strength of character sufficient to found a family. He became possessed of lands in this town by early grants, and having acquired a fortune by commercial enterprise in his manhood, he had the wisdom to retire to the country to enjoy there the evening of his day. He gave the name to a town in his own honor, and in that town his ashes repose. Hon. Jonathan Tyng , the son of Col. Edward Tyng , was born Dec. 15, 1642 , and died Jan. 19, 1724 , aged eighty-one. It is said of him, "He was one of the original proprietors of the town, and the earliest permanent settler, having remained here alone during Philip 's War, when every other person had deserted the settlement for fear of the Indians." He was a man of great energy and decision of character, and of probity and honor. He was one of the council of Sir Edward Andros , a royal commissioner under James Il , a representative of this town and one of its selectmen. It was be to whom the garrisons of the town were intrusted during the Indian wars. Two of his sons, John and Eleazer , were graduates of Harvard College, and his daughter Mary followed the example of many of the attractive and accomplished young women of that day, and married the parish minister, Rev. Nathaniel Holden . Col. Tyng married Sarah , daughter of Hezekiah Usher , who died in 1714 . Rev. Thomas Weld , the first minister of the town, died June 9, 1702 , aged fifty years. He was born in Roxbury , and was a grandson of Rev. Thomas Weld , the first minister of that town, who came from England in 1632 . Mr. Weld , the subject of this notice, graduated at Harvard in 1671 , and studied divinity with Rev. Samuel Danforth , and settled in Dunstable in 1678 . He married for his first wife Elizabeth , daughter of Rev. John Wilson , of Medfield ; and for his second wife Hannah Savage , daughter of Hon. Edward Tyng . He was a man of great piety, and exerted an elevating influence on the community during his long ministry. He was a good representative of that class of men who in those days were educated at Harvard , stood by the church, and encouraged the schools, and who did so much to give New England that character of intelligence and integrity which she has not yet lost, and which has been carried by her sons into every corner of our land.

ix. EUNICE, born March 8, 1655-6; married 1679, Rev. Samuel Willard, born at Concord, January 31, 1639-40, son of Major Simon Willard. He was pastor of the Old South Church and president of Harvard University. It was his second marriage. He died September 12, 1707. She died at, Boston, January 14, 1720.
