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.

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 Addington Davenport. See N. E. Hist. Gen. Reg. Jan. 1856, p. 115, and Paddock. A letter received from Morris V. Paddock, Esq., of St. John, 1741 Hillar is perhaps Joseph Hillar, referred to in Curwen's Journal, 4th edit. Note 13; p. 59, a reference to Joseph Fitch, mentioned here, will be found 1742 Blanchard is probably Edward, b. Boston, 1734, died 18 July, 1792, a mer- 1745 The first name, Gatiomb, is very probably incorrect for Gatcomb. Henry Green. The date of death is probably incorrect. He was known Page 65, note 2. 1746 Page 66. To note 4, add See also Proceedings of the Massachusetts His- 1748 James Pitts. Perhaps son of James, b. 1741, d. 1772, at New Providence. Page 69. To note 13, (Samuel Allyne Otis), add Also N. E. Hist. Gen. 1755 Apthorp. Dr. Homer suggests that this was William, and we have so 1756 William Oxnard. Dr. Homer says this should be Edward, very likely Samuel Pitts. See Bridgman's King's Chapel Epitaphs, p. 275. 1758 Samuel Gore. See History of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Co., Daniel Jones. May be Rev., Coll. New Jersey, 1766, but more probably To note 15, (William Coffin,) add Son of Nathaniel the Cashier, brother of 1759 Page 80. To note 1, (John Joy,) add Bapt. 1st Church, 29 Dec. 1751. 1760 Thomas Edwards. See Memorials of Massachusetts Cincinnati by F. S. Perez Morton. Note 17 has reference to a spelling of the name Moreton, 1761 Minott. To the suggestion in note 4, page 82, we would add, Possibly Prout. A William Prout was at the North Grammar School from 1768–74, To note 12, p. 82, (William Eustis,) add, See Memorials of Massachusetts John Sprague is unquestionably identical with the J. S. of our Class of 1765 Benjamin Joye. Bapt. 1st Church, 27 Feb. 1757. Dr. Homer gives this Joseph Loring. Add U. S. A. and as a note, See History of the Ancient James Prince. To note 8, p. 87, add Dr. Homer gives this name as Samuel Doggett. Dr. Homer gives this name William. See note 16 on 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. 1768 Benjamin Cobb, Jr., b. 2 Nov. 1759, was a brother of Samuel. A Merchant, of the firm of B.

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.

M. of 1777. 1784 Page 120. To note 7, (Francis Johonnot Oliver,) add, See By-Laws St. 1796 Benjamin Andrews. It is not unlikely this is the Benjamin (Andrews) 1810-11 To Henry Kemble Oliver add Mus. Doct. Dart. 1883. 1815 Charles Pierce. ?Dartmouth 1825, A.M. *1852. Perhaps the pupil, aged 1816 Jonathan J. Gardner should probably be inserted in this Class. See Annual Charles Frederic Langdon. Add Dart. Med. Sch. 1828. John Lemon. Possibly the same who appears in the Boston Directory 1817 Francis Caleb Loring should probably be in the Class of 1819 with Willis |
