         PETER GARLAND, mariner. Born in England. Married Elizabeth, who died in 1687, aged 88 years. Residence, Charles- town, Massachusetts Bay. He owned vessels and "coasted" between Massachusetts Bay and Virginia and the " Dutch plantations." "He died in the South while on a voyage." Before his death he requested his sons to take his body to the North for burial, where he had sons, and perhaps daughters. While his body was being brought North in one of his vessels, a storm arose and the coffin containing his body was washed overboard. "He was admitted inhabitant to Charlestown, Massachusetts Bay, in 1637, with seventeen others, including John Harvard, founder of Harvard College." He was allotted in 1637, as inhabitant of Charlestown, "five acres of a ten acre lot in'- 1st Division Mystic Side, No. 13," and "permitted to purchase Mr. Wainwright's house that he bought of Root. Molton, and to have a meadow between Whitehead's land and Capt. Sedgwick's, in 1638."

Extract from Thomas Letchford's Note Book, in Massachusetts Bay, 1638-1641, as follows: — "Thomas Beech, I pray you to pay unto my good ffriend, Mr. Isaac Allerton, the above somme of thirty-three pounds four shillings and six pence. And I further desire you to demand, recover and receive for me the above somme £6 3s 6d of the same partys, who owe the same unto me, and upon payment, give them acquittance, which when you have received, pay over to my said ffriend, Mr. Isaac Allerton, according to my Letter of Attorney to him made the Date hereof in that behalf." Witness my hand the twenty-nynth of March, Anno Dni., 1639. (Signed) Peter Garland." "To all whom these presents shall come, greeting: Whereas, Thomas Beech, now remayning att the Dutch Plantations, standeth indebted unto me, Peter Garland, of New England, mariner," &c.

       JOHN GARLAND, (Peter¹), b between 1620-2; died, Jan. 4, 1672; residence, Hampton, N. H. Married first, Oct. 26 1652, Elizabeth Chapman; married second, 1654, Elizabeth Chase, widow of Thomas Chase and daughter of Thomas Philbrick, of Hampton. After the death of John Garland, she again married, 1674, Henry Roby. His will dated Nov. 15, 1671, proved April 9, 1672. "His wife Elizabeth and son John, executors of his will, the former till John is twenty-one years old, then he alone." "1st, to John, who has that meadow which I bought of Philip Lewis, and also the homestead. 2d, to Jacob half the land at Hogpen Plain I bought of Seaborn Cotton. 3d, to Peter who has half of that land given him, being in the Hogpen Plain, which is in the edge of Kingston, N. H." House, barn and house-lot were appraised at £150. John Garland came to Hampton before 1653, his name being on the tax list at that date, and "settled in the Eastern part of the town, where some of his descendants of every generation since have lived, on the spot where, till within a few years, stood the house occupied by the brothers David and Jonathan Garland. The present Garland house, in the same enclosure, is a lit tle farther east." (Dow.) In 1650 John Garland, with others from Hampton, were forbidden from cutting any timber in Exeter, N. H., but he had a lot granted him if he stay one year in the town of Exeter. His name appears on the books of Exeter as one of the first in Aug. 26, 1650. He owned land in Hampton, bounded by G. Fitield (now owned by E. A. Knowles), in 1666. In 1663 he sold one share in the common to Robert Smith, the original right to which belonged to Thomas Chase.
