Plymouth Colony: Its History and People 1620-1691; 974.4 H2s; Author: Stratton, Eugene Aubrey;
Part One: Chronological Histories; Chapter 6: King Philip's War (1675-1676):
The colony's soldiers were rewarded with land, as had been promised by the court. On 10 March 1675/76 the court observed that soldiers sent out on the first expedition had been promised money or land, and, there being no money, certain tracts of land valued at £1,000 would be given them. On 21 July 1676 a list of names of twelve men from Scituate was approved by the Council of War to receive lands ranging in value from £2/1 for William Hatch to £10 for Lt. Isaac Buck. Capt. Roger Goulding of Rhode Island, who had proved to be a constant and real friend in the late war, on 1 November 1676 was awarded 100 acres of land, and on the same day David Lake and Thomas Lake, who had been very useful and of much service to the colony, were given 100 acres, with David, who "hath bine most healpfull," getting sixty, and Thomas the rest. Captain Benjamin Church was commissioned as a magistrate. In the race among the colonies to take over Indian lands, Plymouth won the Mount Hope peninsula, which became known as Bristol, and Captain Church became the new town's deputy. In 1682 the court was still giving out awards, such as £4/4 to Capt. John Williams for his services in the late war, and Mr. William Clarke, who lost his wife and child at Eel River, was given the contract to supply food and lodging for the magistrates at £40 yearly."
These two tracts were bounded on Puncatest Pond and were to extend one mile into the woods eastwar d and adjacent to the Sakonet line .
Marriage 1 Sarah EARLE (widow CORNELL) . She was born ABT 1640
NOTE: Sarah EARLE - was the widow Sarah CORNELL when married to David. Thomas Cornell was an ancestor of the man who endowed Cornell University, had been convicted and executed for the murder of his own mother; the "evidence" against him was that--after his mother was dead and buried--a man had a dream in which the dead woman said her son had killed her; and, as irony would have it, also an ancestor of LIZZIE BORDEN,who, unlike her unfortunate ancestor accused of killing a parent, Lizzie walked away a free woman after the trial for killing her father and step-mother.
"Lizzie Borden took an ax. Gave her father forty whacks."
