A VOLUME RELATING TO THE EAELY HISTOKY OF BOSTON CONTAINING THE ASPINWALL NOTARIAL RECORDS TO 1651. BOSTON MUNICIPAL PRINTING OFFICE 1903 ASPINWALL NOTAKIAL EECOEDS, THIS volume contains the notarial records of William Aspinwall, Recorder of the Suffolk County Court from November 13, 1644, until October f> 1651. He was the second to hold the office, the first being Stephen Winthrop, the fourth son of Gov. John Winthrop, who was Recorder from September 9, 1639 (being appointed by order of the General Court), until the choice of William Aspinwall, November 13, 1644, at a General Court of Election. The following account of William Aspinwall was compiled by the late John T. Hassam, and forms part of the introduction to Liber X. of Suffolk Deeds, and by whose kind permission it is here republished. It should be borne in mind that, according to the Julian calendar, which was in use at the time, the legal year began on the 25th of March, so that the date of the first entry in the records is November 20, 1644. WILLIAM ASPINWALL. 1644-1651. William Aspinwall probably came in the fleet with Governor Winthrop. He was of Charlestown 1 in 1630, and of Boston after 1633. His name is the tenth in the list of original members of the First Church in Boston 2 the covenant being dated Charlestown, iWyman's Genealogies and Estates of Charlestown, I. 25. 2 Memorial History of Boston, I. 666. ii INTRODUCTION. August 27, 1630. His wife Elizabeth was the six- teenth in that list. He was the second in the list of thirteen who remained inhabitants in Charlestown in 1630. September 28, 1630, he was one of the jury impanelled to inquire concerning the death at " M r Cradocks plantacon " of Austin Bratcher. 1 He took the oath of freeman 2 April 3, 1632. He was one of the Selectmen of Boston 3 in 1636 and 1637, and was chosen deputy to the General Court 4 in 1637 in place of Sir Henry Yane; but as he was a supporter of Wheelwright in the " Antino- mian Controversy," 5 and had signed a remonstrance in his favor, the Court deposed him from member- ship by the following order, 6 passed November 2, 1637: - " M r William Aspinwall being questioned in regard his hand was to a petition or remonstrance, & he iustified the same, maintaining it to bee lawfull ; the Court did discharge him from being a member thereof." By the following order 7 of the same date he was disfranchised and banished : "M r Willi: Aspinwall being con vented for haveing his hand to a petition or remonstrance, being a seditious libell, & iustifiing the same, for w ch , & for his insolent & turbulent carriage, hee is disfranchized & banished, puting in sureties for his departure before the end of the first month next ensuing. " M r John Glover & M r Aspinwall are each of them bound in a 100* a peece for M r Aspinwals depture by the time limited." With others, "seduced & led into dangerous 1 Mass. Col. Records, I. 77.

With others of " y e opinionists," thus disarmed, disfranchised, and banished, he joined in the move- ment to found a new colony in Rhode Island, and he was one of those who, on the 7th day of the 1st month, 1638, " solemnly in the presence of Jehovah," incorporated themselves "into a Bodie Politick" 2 signing the compact at Portsmouth, Rhode Island. He was the first Secretary of the infant Colony. But his life in Rhode Island was not destined to be a peaceful one, as the following order, 3 passed 7 th 12 mo 1638-9, shows: "Mr. Aspinwall being a suspected person for sedition against the State, it was thought meet that a stay of the building of his Bote should be made ; whereupon y e work- man was forbidden to proceed any further." And on the 28 th 2 mo 1639, his shallop was attached for debt. 4 He was in Connecticut in 1642, and was a witness in the case of George Spencer 5 at a General Court held at New Haven, March 2, 1641-2. At a General Court held at Boston, October 7, 1641, the following order 6 was passed : "Willi: Aspinwall hath a safe conduct granted him to come & satisfy the counsell, &, if they thinke nieete, to stay till the Generall Court; if not, hee is to depart till the General] Court, & then hee hath liberty to come to the G-en r all Court." 1 Mass.

At a General Court held at Boston May 20, 1642, the following order x was passed : " William Aspinwall, upon his petition & cirtifficat of his good carriage, is restored againe to his former liberty & freedome." Governor Winthrop, 2 under date of March 27, 1642, gives this account of it: "Mr. William Aspen wall, who had been banished, as is before declared, for joining with Mr. Wheelwright, being licensed by the general court to come and tender his sub- mission, &c was this day reconciled to the church of Boston. He made a very free and full acknowledgment of his errour and seducement, and that with much detestation of his sin. The like he did after, before the magistrates, who were appointed by the court to take his submission, and upon their certificate thereof at the next general court, his sentence of banishment was released." Having made his peace with the Massachusetts authorities, his advancement was rapid. At a General Court of Election held in Boston, September 7, 1643, "M r Willi: Aspinwall is appointed clarke of the writtsfor Boston." 3 At a General Court of Election held in Boston, November 13, 1644, " M r . Aspinwall is chosen Eecorder till y e next Co r t of Election ; " * and on the same day "It is ordered, y l M r Willi: Aspinwall shalbe a publique notary for this iurisdiction." 5 1 Mass. Col.

The merchants of Boston, attempting to secure a monopoly of the Indian trade, procured a charter from the General Court. 2 This was granted March 7, 1643-4, in answer to the petition of William Aspin- wall and six others. Governor Winthrop's account is as follows : " Divers of the merchants of Boston being desirous to dis- cover the great lake, supposing it to lie in the north west part of our patent, and finding that the great trade of beaver which came to all the eastern and southern parts, came from thence, petitioned the court to be a company for that design, and to have the trade which they should discover, to them- selves for twenty-one years. The court was very unwilling to grant any monopoly, but perceiving that without it they would not proceed, granted their desire ; whereupon, having also commission granted them under the public seal, and let- ters from the governour to the Dutch and Swedish gover- nours, they sent out a pinnace well manned and furnished with provisions and trading stuff, which was to sail up Delaware river so high as they could go, and then some of the com- pany, under the conduct of Mr. William Aspenwall, a good artist, and one who had been in those parts, to pass by small skiffs or canoes up the river so far as they could." 3 But Aspinwall and his party were not allowed to penetrate to the beaver country, the 1 Swedes firing upon them and the Dutch higher up the river refusing to allow them to pass. 4 But more troubles were in store for him, for at the second session of the General Court held at Boston October 14, 1651, the following order 5 was passed: " In answer to the peticon of John Butten, Benja Ward, Thomas Matson, Willjam Ludkin, and others of a jury appointed to serve in the last County Court held at Boston, 1 Roberts' History of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company, I. 125. 2 Mass.

The partjes appeared at the time appointed, and after the Court had fully heard the cawse, and what both partjes could say, the Court proceeded to judgm nt . Itt is ordered, that henceforth M r W m Aspinwall shall be suspended from excercising the office of recorder or clarke in any County Courte, for chardging the Courte and jury to goe against la we and conscience, making the landlord to pay rent to the tennant, and shall pay the some of thirty shillings for the jurjes attendance and entring the peticon, w th fower shillings for two wittnesses attendance. " Itt is ordered, that M r Edward Rawson, present secretary to the Generall Courte, shall henceforth be recorder for the county of Suffolke, and that M r Aspinwall deliuer him all the records belonging to the sajd county. " Itt is ordered, that Jonathan Negus, at the request of the tonne of Boston, shall henceforth be clarke of the writts for the toune of Boston, in M r Aspin walls roome, who is to give him the records of deaths, births, and marrjages, in his hands, y 4 belongs to that office." At the second session of the General Court l held at Boston October 26, 1652, " M r Nathaniell Souther is appointed publicke notary for this jurisdiccon, in the roome of M r W m Aspinwall, and tooke the oath suiteable to the place in open Courte." He addressed the following letter, dated 24: 5 mo 1652, to the General Court : 2 " May it please yo w to consider, that manifould haue beene the afflictions I haue suffered since I came into this Country, & it adds vnto them the late order you made that I should deliver vp my bookes vnto the secretary, but most of all afflictiue is, that my late troubles haue sprung from brethren.

If they be godly or ingenuous an admonition or checke may suffice to redresse any thing weakly & foolishly done, but if they grow corrupt through bribes or otherwise vnfaithfull to theire trust, justice will require it to make them exemplary, ffor my selfe I haue little to say (being conscious of many weake & feeble pas- sadges) only this, I haue desired to be faithfull, & my aime hath beene the Hono r of God & his vice-gerents, the publick good of the Country, & private of pticular psons.

[DOCUMENT 100 1903.] REGISTRY DEPARTMENT OF THE CITY OF BOSTON EECOEDS EELATING TO THE EAELT HISTOEY or BOSTON (Formerly called Record Commissioners' Reports) This volume, which is the thirty-second in the series of Bos- ton Records, contains the notarial records of William Aspinwall from 1644 to 1651 inclusive. The work was commenced by William H. Whitmore, Esq., late Registrar of Boston, and com- pleted with the valuable assistance of Mr. Walter K. WatMns, the well-known genealogist. EDWARD W. McGLENEN, City Registrar. OLD COURT HOUSE, BOSTON. LlBBARY OF THE BOSTON ATHENAEUM, BOSTON, February, 3, 1903. MY DEAR MK. McGLENEX : On November 13, 1854, the Trustees of the Athenaeum passed a vote of thanks to E. Price Greenleaf, Esq., for his gift to the Library of twenty-nine valuable historical manuscripts. No list of these can be found, but the collection probably included the A spin wall Notarial Book, which was given by him, as shown by the book-plate, the notarial records of Samuel Tyley (April 2, 1731, to February 28, 1743-4), of Ezekiel Goldthwait (Decem- ber 2, 1748, to March 11, 1754), and of Goldthwait's cousin Ezekiel Price (June 1, 1754, to April 25, 1775, and irregularly to August 22, 1780). They were inherited by Mr. Greenleaf from his grandfather, Hon. Ezekiel Price. 1 Price was a patriotic public man, a shipping and insurance broker, and notary, whose office afforded a meeting place for the prominent men of Boston for half a century. Public and private records, brought together in those unsettled times, would there find a convenient resting place either for tem- porary use or for permanent preservation ; in days past officials upon their retirement not infrequently carried their manuscript records with them. 2 Price acquired many papers while notary public, a justice of the peace, and a selectman of Boston, but especially as confidential secretary to Governors Shirley, Pow- nal, and Bernard, as deputy for the Vice- Admiralty Court, and as Clerk of the Courts of Sessions and of Common Pleas for Suffolk County. From time to time he gave manuscripts to the Massachusetts Historical Society, of which he was a member; he also republished a sermon on his great grandfather, Ezekiel Cheever, the schoolmaster, and in other ways showed an interest in antiquarian matters. At his death, in 1802, his " small library of books " was left by will to be divided equally between his grandsons, Thomas and Ezekiel Price Greenleaf. ( Suffolk Wills, 1 For notice of Price see Publications Colonial Society of Massachusetts, Decem- ber, 1897, pages 61, 62. 1 " I did resolve & not w th out advice of some that knew the practise & custome of other places to take my bookes w* mee." Aspinwall's letter, 1652. Proceedings Massachusetts Historical Society, May, 1898, page 216. 4 AspnsrwALL NOTARIAL RECORDS. Lib. C., 331). His manuscripts probably fell to Price Greenleaf upon the fulfilment of this provision of the will. It is at present impossible to trace the history of the Aspin- wall Notarial Book before it came into Price's hands. Aspinwall himself referred to it in 1650 (Book of Possessions, p. 54) as " my notaries booke." In a letter addressed to the General Court in 1652, Aspinwall said that he intended to leave his records with Mr. Cotton, " vntill yo w may vnderstand from M r Winslow what is vsuall to be done in such cases of death or removal of Notary into another Country." In a postscript he stated his willingness to turn over his records (although "no publick Records, as I take it, nor can be, but privat Records of my owne Acts") to be kept by Mr. Rawson, then Recorder for the County of Suffolk. A spin wall's Book of Possessions was described as in the Secretary's office in 1670 (Suffolk Deeds, Lib. VII., 156), and in the Recorder's office in 1672 (Boston Record Comm. Reports, II., 161), but no mention is made of this First Notary's Book in the early Suffolk deeds; a third volume (see Suffolk Deeds, Lib. VIII., 187) and what appears to be a second volume (ibid., Lib. III., 45a) are there referred to. It would seem, therefore, that this record kept by Aspinwall remained in private keeping, and passed from hand to hand until Piice received it. 1 The book itself, by an outside measurement, is lOf inches high, 8 inches wide, and 2 inches in thickness. The leather covers have three tooled lines near the edges and a diamond shaped ornament of gilt in the centre. Near the top in black are the letters " The Notaries first book Of Records." On the first page the autograph " Willm Aspinwall " occurs three times, twice followed by "Notr Publ." The paper has a watermark, 2 and if the design becomes a subject of study, we may at some future time learn whence came the sheets on which Aspinwall kept his records. Very truly yours, CHARLES KNOWLES BOLTON. Edward "Webster JfcGlenen, Esq. 1 If Tyley obtained it in 1731 from some earlier notary, it may have passed to Goldth- wait and from him to Price. Price's great uncle, Rev. Samuel Cheever, married Ruth Angier, and William Aspinwall's daughter Hannah married John Angler, but these facts throw no light on the history of the book. *The watermark, which is armorial, may be thus described: On a shield sur- mounted by a crown, quarterly 1st and 4th, three antique crowns, 2 and 1; 2d and 3d, a lion rampant ; and over all an escutcheon charged with what appears to be a quiver. xi/'fc *^*** ^f a Je-'* Av-ravy /. , J^-*- *r* r*&&*i* &***&&#<'&*' ***?"* -*^ p rt >. ^?^ IP jjv f^i "? >. / 1 Jj^,^f- of- J&/*i*-*^/t&* i & f *~~vr?y ft*"*** 1 *' < f^ > "^ i .-.^.fc ,4; **/&% ti r^.af v.-JB**: Z3?t"'& & *$<#> *y. **$+**.

Whereas Francis Willoughby made a ptest against John Bourne & the Owners of the shipp Indevo* for not being ready to set sayle by dayes limited & whereas the said John Bourne made a protest against the said Francis Willoughby he not being ready, The said Willoughby as the grounds of his protest & in answer to the said Bournes pro- test saith as followeth That whereas the ship Indeavo* ought to have beene ready to take in goods by Charter party twelve dayes after her arrivall here, w ch should have beene on the day of July, the said shipp was not Delivered of those goods she brought from England in that time : & when the said Willoughby uppon the same day sent goods aboard as by Charter party he was bound, the goods would not be taken in but were sent on shoare againe, to the damadge of M r John Taylo r the merch*, there being neither M r nor M rs mate nor any officer to cause them to be taken in, & at that time there not belonging to the said shipp sixe men ; & when & afterwards there was goods brought aboard, they were faine to lye at the shipp syde for want of men to take them in, & when taken in, they were faine to lye for men to stowe them, there not belonging to the shipp above ten or fourteene men at most: sometime the master professing to me he had not fy ve men; so that besides the length of time in stoweing the ASPINWALL NOTARIAL RECORDS. 13 goods, there was not a spare man to doe anything to her rigging till she was neere laden, so that the ground of the shipps not being laden in time limited was no fault of the said willoughbyes but for want of men according to Charter party : And whereas the said Bourne in his answer said, that the shipp set sail the next day after the Protest, the said willoughby, doth acknowledge the same : but the said wil- loughby saith the said Bourne did it on purpose thinking to save himselfe cleare : when that he had not all his Pvision on board of beere and bread and fish till the sixth of Septem- ber, and when it was done he lay till the nienth before he set saile, his Owners goeing downe either to feast or reckon and make over their Accounts on the eighth day. And whereas he saith, shipps use to have fourty eight houres to wood and water, the said willoughby saith, the shipp was laden com- pleatly before the said willoughby protested : And whereas he saith, the Bills of lading were not Psented till the Dayes were out, the said Willoughby could not take the bills till the shipp was laden, and the shipp was not laden till the dayes were out, but the ground was not in the said willoughby as the reasons above make it evident. This is the true answer which the said willoughby Psented to me in writeing with his owne hand the day and yeare above written. / 13. (10) M r Bourne had also a Copie of this Answer. [Page 8.] 10.
