ADDENDA.

THE following information has been obtained while these pages were passing through the press, but too late for insertion in the proper place.

1714. Edward Wigglesworth is shown to have been in office before Jan. 171, by the following certificate of Nath'l Williams, the original of which is in the possession of Jeremiah Colburn, Esq., of Boston.

This may certifye you that Mr Edward Wigglesworth has continued to assist me in keeping the Grammar School another quarter, even to this day,

To the Select men for

Yr humble Servt

the Town of Boston.

On page 22.

It is possible that the name of John Vaughan Apthorp, Harv. 1818, should be inserted between those of Moses Shaw and John Brazer Davis.

On page 328.

In the Index to Teachers, under Groce, Byron, insert 12, before 30.

1735

The History of the Ancient and Hon. Artillery Company, by Whitman, 2d edition, contains on p. 280 a notice of Edward Bromfield, who may be our pupil here; and on page 311 a reference to Adino Paddock.

1736

Copeland. Against this name Dr. Homer has written Copely, Painter, but this must be an error, as Copley was not born until this year.

1737

Samuel Hewes is probably the father of Samuel H. Hewes of our Class of 1770, and is perhaps the Samuel Hughes referred to in Sabine.

George Craddock. On the Burial Register of King's Chapel, under date of 1 July, 1771, is the record of the death of George Craddock, Merchant, aged 37 years, who is very likely this one.

1738

Page 55. To note 5 should be added: See also Bridgman's Pilgrims of
Boston, and the reference to the Proceedings of the Massachusetts Historical
Society should be xiv, 200.

In Note 6, the conjectured spelling given is found to agree with the state-
ment of Dr. Homer.

Robert Treat Paine. See the Polyanthos for June, 1814.

Caleb Blanchard, an Assessor, died aged 71. See Bur. Reg. King's Chapel.

1739

Malem is perhaps John Maylem, who died 11 June, 1747, in the 17th year
of his age. See Bridgman's King's Chapel Epitaphs, p. 75.

Addington Davenport. See N. E. Hist. Gen. Reg. Jan. 1856, p. 115, and
Jan. 1879, p. 25.

Paddock. A letter received from Morris V. Paddock, Esq., of St. John,
N. B., makes it probable that this was Enoch, a brother of Adino and John
of our class of 1735.

1741

Hillar is perhaps Joseph Hillar, referred to in Curwen's Journal, 4th edit.
p. 561.

Note 13; p. 59, a reference to Joseph Fitch, mentioned here, will be found
in the 2d edition of Whitman's History of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery
Company, p. 282.

1742

Blanchard is probably Edward, b. Boston, 1734, died 18 July, 1792, a mer-
chant on Long Wharf.

1745

The first name, Gatiomb, is very probably incorrect for Gatcomb.

Henry Green. The date of death is probably incorrect. He was known
to be living in Dec. 1774, and is thought to have died in 1775 or 6.
The 2d edition of the History of the Ancient and Honor-
able Artillery Co. gives a different statement of the parentage of William
Phillips, and also gives the date of his death as 1771.

1746

Page 66. To note 4, add See also Proceedings of the Massachusetts His-
torical Society, 1881-2, p. 406, note.

See Goodwin's Pitts Genealogy, p. 35.

Page 69. To note 13, (Samuel Allyne Otis), add Also N. E. Hist. Gen.
Reg. ii. 292.

1755

Apthorp. Dr. Homer suggests that this was William, and we have so
filled the blank conjecturally, though he has probably confounded him with
the William in the previous column.

1756

William Oxnard. Dr. Homer says this should be Edward, very likely
confounding him with the Edward below.

Samuel Pitts. See Bridgman's King's Chapel Epitaphs, p. 275.

1758

Samuel Gore. See History of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Co.,
2d edition, p. 336.

Daniel Jones. May be Rev., Coll. New Jersey, 1766, but more probably
is as we have given in the text.

To note 15, (William Coffin,) add Son of Nathaniel the Cashier, brother of
Nathaniel of our Class of 1757 and Gen. John of 1765 and Sir Isaac of 1766.

1759

Page 80. To note 1, (John Joy,) add Bapt. 1st Church, 29 Dec. 1751.
Jonathan (?) Pollard. Perhaps the Jonathan of our Class of 1757 is the
one whom we have supposed to have been identified here.

1760

Thomas Edwards. See Memorials of Massachusetts Cincinnati by F. S.
Drake, p. 19.

Perez Morton. Note 17 has reference to a spelling of the name Moreton,
originally given in the text, but altered without changing the note.

1761

Minott. To the suggestion in note 4, page 82, we would add, Possibly
Francis, who died Dec. 1774, æt. 28.

Prout. A William Prout was at the North Grammar School from 1768–74,
but would probably have been too old then to be our boy here.

To note 12, p. 82, (William Eustis,) add, See Memorials of Massachusetts
Cincinnati by F. S. Drake, p. 19.

John Sprague is unquestionably identical with the J. S. of our Class of
1760, and should have been omitted here. If he is another boy, however,
the line Harv. 1772, A.M. should be stricken out.

1765

Benjamin Joye. Bapt. 1st Church, 27 Feb. 1757. Dr. Homer gives this
name Charles.

Joseph Loring. Add U. S. A. and as a note, See History of the Ancient
and Honorable Artillery Co., 2d edition, p. 356.

James Prince. To note 8, p. 87, add Dr. Homer gives this name as
John.

Samuel Doggett. Dr. Homer gives this name William. See note 16 on
page 85.

1766

A notice of this class will be found in the Columbian Centinel of 15 Feb., 1826.

To note 6, page 88, add, See Historical Sketch, p. 40, for a contemporary account of this transaction.

To the note on General Haldiman, at the bottom of the page, add He was of Swiss descent. See Drake's Biographical Dictionary.

Jacob Eustis was a brother of (Governor) William of our Class of 1761.

1767

James Gould. Dr. Homer supplies the name here as Samuel.

James Millar Church was a son of Dr. Benjamin of our Class of 1745.

1771

Edward McLane, Dep. Secretary of State. Buried 21 March, 1826; see Burial Register King's Chapel.

1772

Thomas Green (?) Hubbard. Dr. Homer supplies Joseph as the name

here.

John Soley. See the By-laws of St. Andrew's Royal Arch Chapter, (edition of 1874,) p. 164.

John Baker Sohier. The age in Hunt's Catalogue, given in note 4, must be wrong, as he was born in 1767.

1773

Benjamin Homans was Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

1774

Edward Blanchard was born in 1760. If the conjectured Edward of 1765 is correct, he is the same boy, but that conjecture is very likely wrong.

1776

Benjamin Andrews. See Recollections of Samuel Breck.

Thomas Curtis. A Merchant. See Burial Register King's Chapel.

Page 108. To note 12, (Thomas Fleet,) add, See Buckingham's Reminis

ton Mill-Dam Corporation.

Page 116. To note 4, (Thomas Paine,) add, See also Buckingham's Remi-
niscences, ii. 247.

1782

William Mackay is very likely identical with the Wm. M. of 1777.

1784

Page 120. To note 7, (Francis Johonnot Oliver,) add, See By-Laws St.
Andrew's Royal Arch Chapter, ed. 1874, p. 162.

1796

Benjamin Andrews. It is not unlikely this is the Benjamin (Andrews)
Hitchborn of 1795. The confusion of names will be explained by consult-
ing the Recollections of Samuel Breck, p. 22. See note 10, p. 131.

1810-11

To Henry Kemble Oliver add Mus. Doct. Dart. 1883.

1815

Charles Pierce. ?Dartmouth 1825, A.M. *1852. Perhaps the pupil, aged
13, at Phillips Andover Academy in 1817, from Newburyport. *1858.

1816

Jonathan J. Gardner should probably be inserted in this Class. See Annual
Catalogue of 1832.

Charles Frederic Langdon. Add Dart. Med. Sch. 1828.

John Lemon. Possibly the same who appears in the Boston Directory
until 1854 as John Leman, Ship-Smith.

1817

Francis Caleb Loring should probably be in the Class of 1819 with Willis
and Bradlee, but as he was put here on the old Catalogue and this page was
cast before we had reason to think the change ought to be made, we have
thought best not to make it.
