The list is as perfect, however, as long, careful and patient examination of public and private records can make it."

p 45: "In 1637, . . . Thomas Joshlin . . "

p 49: "Many of the first settlers removed to other places during the militia difficulties which occurred within a few years after the settlement of the town; and a considerable number had previously obtained lands at Rehoboth."

Footnote at this point: "Among the towns of which a considerable number of inhabitants originated in Hingham, are Rehoboth, Wareham, Cummington, Dennysville and Perry, (Maine.) A few removed to Swanzey, Duxbury, Scituate, Barnstaple, Lancaster, &c. &c. and a large number to Boston. The following names appear in Lancaster in 1654, viz: . . . Thomas Joslin. Persons of the same names had previously received grants of land in Hingham, and actually settled there. . ."
