Glancing hastily over the descent of this family, we find that Sir Christopher1 Willoughby, who was knighted in 1483 and died 1498, had five sons: William,2 who succeeded to the title of eighth Lord Willoughby of Eresby, Sir Christopher,2 George2 who married, Sir Thomas2 ancestor of the Lords Middleton, and John2 who also married.

• Francis Willoughby, who came to New-England in 1638, with his wife Mary and young son Jonathan, is alluded to by Hutchinson as "a gentleman from England ;" he was a son of William Willoughby, who, we learn from Winthrop, "was a Colonel of the City," i. e. of London ; while from other sources* we learn that he was a native of Kent, and had been for time commander of a vessel. This latter person appears to be identical with William Willoughby, who was a purveyor for ship-timber in co. Sussex, as early as 1628. ..... In April, 1636, he, together with John Taylor, sent in a proposition to the Board of Admiralty, for the raising of the Ann Royal, which, with all her ordnance and provisions, had recently sunk off the mouth of the Thames, and he is alluded to, immediately after, as one of the chief shipwrights engaged in the undertaking.

• .... July 11, 1651, it was reported to the House by Mr. Bond, from the Council of State, that Col. Willoughby was lately dead,* and that they recommended Capt Robert Moulton, senior, in his place ; whereupon Moulton was appointed. At the same time it was referred to the Council of State to make payments to Col. Willoughby "of his monies ; which with great willingness and good affection, he laid out for defence of the river of Thames, in the time of the insurrections of Kent and Essex ; and of other monies due to him from the State."
• The Colonel's widow, Elizabeth Willoughby, left a will, dated London, May, 1662, mentioning her late son William (ob. s. p.) ; the six children of her son Francis, of whom Sarah was then the only daughter ; and her sisters, Mrs. Jane Hammond of Virginia, and Anna, wife of William Griffin of Portsmouth. Mrs. Hammond's son Lawrence was the same person who, as Capt. Lawrence Hammond, was located in Charlestown, Mass. Colony, whose third wife was Margaret, widow of Dept. Gov. Francis Willoughby (his cousin), and whose eldest son was Francis Hammond.
• .... etc.
• The original will of Mrs. Willoughby, sent out from England, was identified by her son Francis, 23 : (12) : 1662, at Charlestown, and filed 2 : 2 : 1663. A seal, attached to the signature, bears a chevron engrailed between three boars' heads.
• Concerning the son Francis Willoughby, much of interest may be found in Frothingham's History of Charlestown. Coming to New-England as we have stated, in 1688, with his wife Mary and infant son Jonathan, he was admitted an inhabitant Aug. 22, and joined the church during the following year (Oct. 10), from which time forward, till his death, .... etc.

• Soon after this Mr. Willoughby left England, taking with him a third wife, Margaret, whom he had there married; he appears to have been again present in the Colony by May, 1662, and sat as an assistant at the general court, held Oct. 20, 1663; was again chosen the succeeding year; became deputy governor, May, 1665, and so continued until his decease. ....
• The original will of the deputy governor does not appear on file. This will, drawn up June 4, 1670, and witnessed by Capt. Lawrence Hammond and Lawrence Dowse, was proved April 10, 1671, six days after the testator's decease. He states therein that the legacies left to his children, Jonathan, Sarah and Nehemiah, by their grandfather Willoughby, had been paid, and desires that his mother's will, which had not yet been carried out, might be made good. To his wife, who had brought a considerable estate with her, he bequeathed all household goods, plate and jewels, which had formerly belonged to her, or which had been given to her before or since marriage. To his eldest son Jonathan 10/. and some wearing apparel, and to each of his living children 5/., for that said son "hath cost me much money both in breeding up and several other ways, to the value of near a treble portion already, and for other serious and deliberate considerations, which I am not willing here to mention, it being a grief of soul to me that he should run out an estate so unprofitably as he hath done to his present suffering, &c. &c." After deducting all legacies and debts the testator leaves 14/32 of the residue of his estate to his wife ; 8/32 to his son Nehemiah, including what had already been paid in 1669 : to the other children, when of age, 3/32 to son William ; 5/32 to son Francis; 4/32 to daughter Susannah, and 3/32 to child still unborn. To eldest daughter Campfield as a token of love 10/., she having already received a liberal portion ; .... etc.

• The widow Margaret Willoughby married, Feb. 8, 1675, Capt Lawrence Hammond, of Charlestown, the cousin of her late husband ; she was his third wife (though he had no children by this marriage), and died Feb. 2, 1683. Her will, signed Aug. 21, 1680, and proved April 12, 1683, leaves one-half of the property, left her by her former husband, to her present husband Capt. Hammond, the balance to her only child Susannah Willoughby ; to her sister Elizabeth Lock 100/. due testator out of rente in England; the residue of her estate in Old and New-England to her daughter aforesaid, commiting her and her portion to the care and protection of her father-in-law Capt.

• JOHN TAYLOR of Wapping, Middlesex, Esquire, 1 February 1669, proved 18 February 1669. I give unto my son John Taylor all that my mansion house wherein myself and he now dwell and all those six new erected tenements on the East side of the Dock yard, together with the Dock yard, cranes, storehouses &c. to the same freehold belonging, according to a former deed by which I did assure it to him and the heirs of his body by him lawfully

• begotten on the body of Abigail his first wife, and for want of such heirs then to any other his children or others to whom he shall dispose it, and all deeds and writings that I have concerning the same premisses; all which premisses are situate, lying and being on the South side of Wapping Street in the parish of St. Mary Matfellon als Whitechapel and were by me lately bought, the one moiety thereof of John Dearsly deceased and the other moiety thereof of one William Startute, who purchased his part of Thomas Dearsly deceased, as by the writings and deeds relating to the same purchases will appear. I give all that my yard called the Reed yard situate on the North side of Wapping Street, which I bought of Mr. Warren, and do hold the same by lease for the term of four hundred years to come (or thereabouts), unto my grandchild John Taylor, and all deeds, assurances and writings concerning the same. Provided that if my said son John Taylor shall pay or cause to be paid to my said grandchild John Taylor the sum of Two hundred pounds when my said grandchild shall arrive to the age of one and twenty years or day of marriage, which shall first happen, then the Reed yard with the appurtenances shall come and be to my said son John Taylor &c. But if my said son shall refuse to pay the said sum of two hundred pounds unto my said grandchild at the time herein before limited for the payment thereof and yet shall have desire to occupy and make use of the same yard then and in such case my will is that my said son shall pay the yearly rent of twenty pounds to my grandson for and during the time he shall so hold and use the same. But if my said grandchild shall happen to die before such his arrival at age or marriage, and without issue of his body lawfully begotten, then and in such case I give the same to my said son John Taylor and the heirs of his body lawfully begotten &c., and, for want of such heirs, to such of my daughter Arnold's children as shall then be living (except my son John shall before his death give or "ascertaine" to my daughter Arnold's children two hundred pounds, which if he do then it shall be lawful for him to dispose of the said yard at his pleasure). I give to my said son John Taylor and Rebecca his now wife my three fifths parts of and in all those several houses, yard and dock, in Wapping, the fee simple whereof I lately bought (viz't.) one fifth part of Mr. John Woolhouse and the other two fifths of Mr. John Kempsall, to have and to hold to the said John Taylor and Rebecca his wife for their lives and that of the longest liver of them and then to their children, part and part alike. But if my said son John happen to die without heirs of his body then I give and bequeath the reversion of the premisses (after the death of said Rebecca) to be equally divided among my said daughter Arnold's five children or those of them then living. I give to son John and his wife my right &c. in four houses &c. which I hold by lease from Mr. John Catlin, being of the yearly rent of forty eight pounds, I give &c. to Elizabeth and Johanna, the daughters of my son Joseph Taylor four hundred pounds apiece, to be paid, for them, into the hands of Mr. Gregory Page, Mr. Thomas Hayter and Mr, James Porter, as trustees and guardians till they shall arrive at the age of one or twenty years or be married. Other bequests to the said children. When disposed of in marriage or arrived at said age they are to have their portions if they carry themselves civilly, and not before. Provisions in case of their death. These childrens' portions of eight hundred pounds shall be paid out of the debt of one thousand one hundred and seventeen pounds which is owing me from the City for building the ship Loyal London &c. I give to my three grandchildren Thomas, John and Samuel Arnold two hundred pounds apiece, to

• be paid into the hands of my said Trustees, one moiety thereof out of my cash in house and the other moiety out of my said City debt. The children to be paid at one and twenty years of age or marriage. To my granddaughter Elizabeth Haddilow one hundred and fifty pounds, and my will is that her husband Haddilow shall have nothing to do with it. I give to Mary Arnold one hundred pounds over and besides what I gave her at the time of her marriage. To my grandchild John Taylor one hundred pounds at one and twenty or day of marriage. To my grandchild Abigail Jennings five pounds more than what she hath already had of me, to be paid her out of the said City debt. To my grandchild Rebecca Taylor, daughter of my son John, one hundred pounds at one and twenty or day of marriage, but if she die before then I give the same to her sisters and brothers if she then have any, and if none then to her mother. I give to Jonathan Taylor, son of my son John, that one fifth part of the said houses, dock and yard which I also bought of the said John Kempsall and his mother in law besides the said first three parts of the same premisses above devised.
• Item, I give to my grandson Jonathan Willoughbie one hundred pounds, fifty pounds thereof to be paid within three months next after my decease out of my own money and the other fifty pounds out of my City debt. I give to Nehemiah Willoughbie fifty pounds and to William Willoughby thirty pounds and the sum of five pounds apiece to the two children of my son in law Mr Francis Willoughbie which he had by this his last wife. Item, whereas there is yet due unto me from and out of my brother Willoughbie's estate the full sum of sixty pounds. Now I do hereby give the same and all my right, title and interest therein to my three grand children Jonathan, Nehemiah and William Willoughby, to be equally divided amongst them. It is my further will and meaning that the legacies herein before given to my son Willoughbie's four children last before mentioned (that is to say) Nehemiah, William and his said two children by this his last wife, shall be paid unto them within ten months next after my decease. Provided always that their father, Mr. Francis Willoughby do first give a full and general release to my executors of all accompts, debts and demands whatsoever, except only in matters about the trade wherein I am concerned with Sir William Warren, touching which affair I desire Mr. Gregory Page to see that right be done unto me and my executors. I give to my grand daughter Sarah Camfeild the sum of sixty pounds to be paid unto her out my City debt so soon as the same can be received. I give and bequeath unto Owen Taylor the sum of ten pounds and to his brothers and sisters twenty shillings apiece. I give unto my cousin Caleb Taylor forty shillings and to each of my servants that shall be with me at the time of my decease twenty shillings apiece. I do give unto forty ministers in a list named and here inclosed twenty shillings apiece. I give unto Mr. Ryder ten pounds. I give twenty pounds to Captain Potter, William Hooper and Thomas French, to be distributed and disposed of by them and others of my Christian friends in Wapping, with whom in a special manner I walked and had Christian society in my life time, being met together &c. My executor to pay forty shillings for a dinner to be had at such their meeting together upon that occasion. I give forty pounds to be distributed amongst poor suffering godly ministers who are laid aside and cannot hold their liberties for preaching whereby they got their livelihoods. To my daughter Rebecca Taylor thirty pounds as a token of my love to her. To my said three trustees ten pounds apiece as a token of my love to them. To my daughter in law Hannah ____ ten pounds in case she survive two months next after

• my decease. To Mrs. Judith Bowrey aud Mrs. Jorden ten pounds apiece. I make my son John Taylor executor. Penn, 29.
• [According to the foregoing will Mr. Taylor seems to have been the maternal grandfather of four of Gov. Willoughby's children, viz. : Jonathan, Nehemiah and William Willoughby and Sarah Camfleld. The two children of Gov. Willoughby by his last wife, refered to by this testator, were, I suppose, Francis and Susanna, who also, it may be noted, were mentioned in the will of their aunt Jane Locke, given in my Gleanings for July 1893 (REG., Vol. 47, p. 418; ante, p. 763). Mr. Thomas Bragne, whose name appears in that Declaration of Trust which I have referred to, married Hannah Locke, another sister of Mrs. Margaret Willoughby. On pp. 415-416 of the same number of the Register (ante, p. 761) may be found the will of John Dersley of Stepney, who mentions John Taylor of Wapping as occupying certain tenements in Wapping in which Mr. Dersley had an interest. He was undoubtedly the father of the John and Thomas Dearsly referred to in Mr. Taylor's will and was the father, likewise, of Anne the wife of Mr. William Ting. As he mentioned also Capt. Edward Johnson and as the Johnsons of Kent were evidently connected with the Locke family, to which Gov. Willoughby's last wife belonged, I think I have, in these two groups of wills (i. e. those now presented and the wills given on pp. 415-418 of REG. for July, 1893; ante, pp. 761-63) introduced the reader to an interesting connection of New England families.
• I find that Admon. was granted 20 January 1680 to Matthew Todd, principal creditor of Jonathan Willoughby, lately of the parish of St. Catherine, Coleman Street, London, but at Tangier, in the parts beyond the seas deceased, to administer the goods &c. of the said deceased, Elizabeth Willoughby, his relict, first renouncing.
