MURRAY.-William Murray is supposed to have emigrated to New England about 1718, with the company which founded the colony of Londonderry, N. H. IIe settled in what is now Amherst, Mass., about 1720; married Feb. 20, 1723, Hannah, daughter of John Dickinson, of Hatfield. His will is dated at Amherst, Oct. 22, 1779, and was proved in 1784. He had six children born in Amherst: Elijah, William, Dorothy, David, Seth and Hannah.

William Murray, Jr., married, about 1750, Mary (or Mercy) Scott, of Sunderland, and died in 1762. They had four children born in Amherst: Elibu, Elijah, Mercy and Martha. The younger daughter, Martha, married Joel Day, of Hatfield [Descendants in the Day Genealogy (Hartford, 1848), pp. 72, 88, 89 and 105.]

Dorothy Murray, daughter of William, senior, married Abner Adams, of Amherst, May 9, 1754, and had two sons, Reuben and Thomas.

Hannah Murray, youngest child of William, senior, married Timothy Abbot, of Bennington, Vt.

Seth Murray, fourth son of William, sen., served in the revolutionary army; was commissioned as lieut.-col. in 1780, and subsequently as brigadier-general. He married at Hatfield, Elizabeth White. They had one child, Lucinda, who married Isaac Maltby (Y. C. 1786), brig.-gen. of Mass. militia, 1814, and author of several military works. Descendants known.

Wanted, the ancestry of William Murray, sen., the place of his birth, and any facts concerning him previous to his settling in that part of Hadley now Amherst. The tradition is that he resided a time in Pelham [but neither Pelham, Mass., nor Pelham, N. H., were settled in 1720, we think]. Wanted, also, facts relating to the Scott family with which this family intermarried. M. C. M. LOVE. 1250 California street, San Francisco, Cal.

PACY.-The following document is copied for the REGISTER, by Henry F. Waters, Esq., from the Essex County court files, Bk. i. leaf 6 :

Salem. 28-10-1640.

I nicholas pacy doe acknowledge that wheras offence hath bin taken by my meanes in the marriage of my present wife knowing of a former promise solemnly made by her to marke Vermaes of this towne for which I have bin affected and in some measure humbled according to (as I hope) I doe hereby desire that this my harty acknowledgment may be accepted of all men, and that it may bee a warning to all whom it may concerne, not to deale rashly in matters of such weight to the grieuing of the harts not only of my wife and the party abovesayd, whom I have wronged, but also to other godly christians.

I katharyn pacy doe acknowledge that synce my marriage I haue bin troubled in my conscience for a former promise made to mark Vermacs, the breach wherof I confes was sinfull, and since have out of my scruples sinned in denying coniugall respects unto my present husband, wherby I have bin a great griefe to him and many reuerend and godly frends, but now being satisfyed in the question desire the world to take notice that I am hartily sorrowfull for my offence in both kinds, & trust the lord will by his grace guide me to more wissdom for tyme to come.

SWEETSER SWEATSER-SWETZER.-Can any one inform the writer relative to the ancestry of the New England families? Is the surname German? The latter form of spelling would seem to point to a German ancestry. There were Sweetsers in Charlestown, Mass., as early as 1722. A large branch have scattered through Maine. Harrison, Maine. G. T. RIDLON.

CAPT. WILLIAM EVELYN (ante, p. 89).—The flank companies of the 4th, or King's Own, Regiment of Foot, formed part of the force under Lieut-Col. Smith, sent by Gen.

HATHAWAY.-In my note of inquiry concerning John and Arthur Hathaway, of 1630, I stated that Arthur, Jr.'s son John went from Dartmouth and settled in Freetown. According to Dartmouth records, which I received lately, this was a mistake. Arthur Hathaway, Jr.'s son John lived and died in Dartmouth, where he had a large farm on the New Bedford side of the river. March 15, 1683, he m. Joanna Pope, daughter of Thomas. They had :

1. Sarah, b. Feb. 24, 1684.
2. Joanna, b. Jan. 28, 1685.
3. John, b. March 18, 1687.

4. Arthur, b. April 3, 1690.
5. Hannah, b. Feb. 16, 1692.
6. Mary, b. June 4, 1694.

The wife, Joanna, died Dec. 25, 1695, and Sept. 29, 1696, he m. Patience Pope.

They had:

7. Jonathan, b. June 23, 1697.

8. Richard, b. May 21, 1699.

9. Thomas, b. July 5, 1700.

Arthur Hathaway, Jr. (son of Arthur, of 1630, and father of this John), died in 1712. His will names his living children as follows:-John, Thomas, Jonathan, Mary (Hammond), Lydia (Sisson), Hannah (Codman) and Dan. I have received other records of this family. Who can tell when and where John Hathaway, of Freetown, was born, or give the maiden surname of his wife Christian?

LETTERS FROM BOSTON, 1714-1731, BY JEREMIAH BUMSTEAD.-There are preserved in the possession of a granddaughter of the Hon. John Lambert, acting governor of New Jersey, 1802-3, the following letters from Jeremiah Bumstead, or his wife, to his sister Abigail, who married John Lambert (ante, xv. 194), and her husband: Boston, April, 19, 1714, to his brother and sister.

J., who has verbatim copies of the letters.

CRAWFORD-CROXFORD.-I find a large family in Penobscot Co., Maine, named Croxford; they know nothing of their ancestry. I have never heard the name before. May it not be a corruption of Crawford?
