70 "David came to Scituate 1688, when he purchased the lands of George Russell, (his uncle), on the southeast of Stockbridge's mill, the ancient Stedman place. His house stood near where stands the house of Mr Samuel Hatch, his descendant. That Russell house was burnt 1712, and another erected near the same place, which has been succeeded since by the spacious mansion of Mr Hatch. Dea. David Jacob was an active and useful man, always employed in publick business, and often also as town schoolmaster, there being but one school at that time." [Samuel Deane, History of Scituate, Massachusetts, from Its First Settlement to 1831.]

David ws the first master of the only public school in Scituate until 1712. In 1701 'The Town agreed with Dea. David Jocob to keep a reading, writin and grammar school for one year, in consideration of the sum of £20; also agreed with the same person to build a school house for £20.' This schoolhouse stood between Jacob's house and the Stockbridge mill.

David Jacob was a Deacon of the First Church during the time of the controversy over building a new meeting house elsewhere thanupon the site of the earliest one on Meeting House Lane. The second house on 'the gor of land' near Balch's (now (1936) the Town Common at Scituate Centre) was erected before his death. [L. Vernon Briggs, History and Genealogy of the Briggs Family]

73 "Ellen the widdow of Kenelme Winslow was Buried the 5th of december. 1681: being 83 yeares old".

That Ellen the wife of John Adams was Ellen Newton is not in any way certain. According to Anderson, 4it "is based on the fact that she is the only Ellen in the 1623 land division, and there was no other known addition to the Plymouth population in the next few years." In any case, Ellen the widow of John Adams married Kenelm Winslow. [David Pane-Joyce]

88 "James resided at Conihassett on a part of his father's farm, which part, with the house standing upon it, was conveyed by gift to him by his parents in 1673, a few days before his marriage. It is thought that the house mentioned in the deed of gift was that named in the deed from Timothy Hatherly in 1651 to Walter Briggs, who built a nwe house upon the farm."

He served in King Philip's war as a lieutenant. He was surveyor of highways, constable 1676, and selectman 1689. 
BRIGGS, James (I44167)
 
89 "Judge Otis' residence at Scituate was on the south of Coleman's Hill, the former residence of Gilbert Brooks, Esq. He held the office of Judge of the Court of Common Pleas for Plymouth Co. from 1703-1714. In 1709 the townof Scituate voted that 'the Society empower Joseph Otis, Esq. to finish the meeting house by pewing it, and also to appoint two and two to a pew[when they do not agree to couple themselves], each couple paying the cost of building the pqe.' In 1710 he was elected under the governor's order, representative to 'the Great and General Court', and again in 1713. He held other town offices. He moved to New London about 1721, where many of his relations and acquaintances lived, and bought of James Harris a tract of 650 acres of land 'lying in the North parish in Ne Longon, adjoining a pond called Obplintksok,' now Gardiner's Lake, a mile or more in length. This land was purchased by Thomas Stanton, or Stonington, of Owaneco, 11 Nov 1698, and by him sold to Joseph Otis. He was received to the communion of the church at New London 19 Nov 1722.

"He was much in public employment, was Moderator of town meetings, on parish and church committees almost yearly, etc.

"From the records of Colchester, Conn. it appears that in 1724 he purchased of Capt. Samuel Gilbert a house and farm of 180 acres, lying in the east part of the town of Colchester, on the old country road for '770 pounds lawful money of New England.' He is described in the deed, as of Scituate. This land Joseph deeded to his son nathaniel in 1735, 'for and in consideration of the love, good will and affection which I have for and do bear unto my beloved son, and is the whole of what I design my said son shall have of my estate'. The house erected on this land by Nathaniel, has been occupied successively by five generations.

"Judge Otis is spoken of by his contemporaries as a gentleman of greate integrity, a judicious and useful citizen. The following portrait was written of him soon after his death 'He was a Christian upon principle, a public spirited and useful man, distinguished by talents of the solid, judicious and useful, rather than of the brilliant and showy kind. He was of large stature, his countenance solemn and serene, frank and open in his manner, of ready wit and sound understanding. As a private individual he had the union of simple dignity and benevolent courtesy which marks the gentleman. He died universally lamented.'" 
OTIS, Joseph (I27007)
 
90 "Mr. Otis rose to be a man of great distinction and influence, of superior genius, but more indebted to the native energy of his mind than to a regular education, for the acquirements he possessed. The simplicity of the life and times is shouwn by the fact that accidental circumstances led him to engage in the legal profession. On one occasion when he was at Court in Barnstable, a neighbor, who had a case pending, was unprovided with counsel, and solicited his aid. He consented to act, and managed the case with such ability as to receive the strong encomiums of the court, and appreciative friends induced him to study for the profession of the law, in which he soon acquired a commanding position. His study of the principles of law, as connected with politicl institutions, had prepared him for a clear perception of the effects that would have resulted from the execution of the ministerial plans agains the colonies, and he ardently engaged in asserting their rights. He was elected a member of the provincial legislature in 1758, made Speaker of the House in 1760, and continued in that office for two years, when he was negatived by Gov. Bernard.

"He was, among his other positions, also Colonel of the militia. A document is given in 'Barstable Families,' Vol. II. pg. 42, ordering a troop of horse in the County of Barnstable, Aug. 14, 1757, to which his name is signed as 'Coll'n of st. Regiment."

"In 1763 he was appointed Judge of Probate for Barnstable county, and Chief Justice of the Court of Common Pleas, Feb. 1764, and he continued at the head of that court until the Revolution. The same year he was again chosen Speaker of the House, and also one of his Majesty's Council, but was negatived by the Governor, owing to his opposition to the measures of teh government. HE was elected into the Council every succeeding yer, and was negatived ass regularly as chosen, until 1770, when Lieut. Col. Hutchinson approbated the choiser. Mr. Otis sat at the Council board during the first years of the war; he was president and oldest member of that body. From the departure of Gage and the adoption of the state constitution, he exercised during that period the functions of chief executive magistrate of Mass.

"He served on many committees of the legislature during the period from 1760-1775, which reported some of the most remarkable of those sincere and masterly state papers which were produced during the period preceding the epoch of the American Revolution. His name has been frequently mentioned in terms of high esteem, as a compeer with Adams, Quincy and Hancock. [William A. Otis]

92 "Nathaniel Church was born in Plymouth or Duxbury, and the youngest brother of Col. Benjamin the warrior. He was in Scituate 1666. His farm was laid out on the North river, south of Cornet Stetson's, including the bald hills. His house stood near the river, opposite nearly to Job's landing." [Samuel Deane, History of Scituate, Massachusetts, from Its First Settlement to 1831]

On 3 Mar 1662/3 Nathaniel Church and Elizabeth Soule were fined for committing fornication with each other. On 5 Oct 1663 Elizabeth Soule sued Nathaniel Church for committing fornication and denying to marry her. She was awarded £10. [Robert S. Wakefield, "The children and purported children of Richard and Elizabeth (Warren) Church," The American Genealogist, 60, 1985, 129-139]

95 "The eldest daughter of Deacon John has been the subject of much spectulation. It was first thought that she was the Elizabeth who married 1st David Fiske and 2nd Samuel Webb. However, the will of Thomas Durkee, brother of Deacon John, named Elizabeth Welbbas his daughter. Then in the recapitulation of the family in the Windham records it was stated that Elizabeth had died in Gloucester. This left an Elizabeth Durkee who married Joshua Calkins with no place in the family. However, the will of Deacon John has identified Elizabeth Calkins has his daughter and it then becomes clear that the Elizabeth who died in Gloucester was Elizabeth Parsons, first wife of Deacon John." DURKEE, Elizabeth (I28755)
