house list; but it is evident he is one of the passengers of that ship. The list contains, with many others, his wife's name and age, Eliz. Eliot, aged 30, as also those of his childrenMary, 13; Elizabeth, 8; Sarah, 6; and Philip. Several other Nazing friends were in company with them, viz.—Jo. Ruggles, aged 10; Jo. Ruggles, his father, shoemaker, aged 44; and Barbarie, his wife, aged 30; Jo. Ruggles, aged 2; Giles Payson, aged 26; William Peacock, aged 12; also Robert Day, aged 30. It is not certain that the last-named came from Nazing, although several of that name resided there at that time, and John Dey or Day is mentioned in the will of Bennett Eliot. These were per certificate from Stanstead, a short distance from Nazing. The wife of Philip may have been the daughter of Richard Ferian, vicar of Nazing, at the time, as she is the only "Elizabeth" baptized in 1605. The baptism of Mary does not occur in the Parish Register. Elizabeth, the second daughter of Philip and Elizabeth Eliot, was baptized at Nazing, April 8, 1627; Sarah, baptized January 25, 1628-9. Ledde or Lydia Eliot (daughter of Philip) baptized June 12, 1631. Philip, the youngest child, does not appear to have been registered at Nazing (born 1633). Lydia Eliot is not mentioned by Savage; she appears on the list of passengers in the Hopewell, 1635, aged 4. She was baptized at Nazing, June 12, 1631. The church records of Roxbury say that the John Ruggles, aged 10, was servant to Philip Eliot, who was made freeman, May 26, 1636; and deacon of his brother John's Church at Roxbury. He died October 22, 1657. In the following year his property was appraised at £810 Is. 10d. He lived on the west of Stoney River. His property after the death of his widow Elizabeth, was divided between Richard Withington, who married Elizabeth Eliot; John Aldis, who married Sarah Eliot; and John Smith, in right of their wives.

Sarah Eliot, daughter of Bennett, married William Curtis, of Nazing, August 16, 1618.

Jacob Eliot, second son of Bennett, married Margery. It is supposed that Jacob accompanied his brother

John to America in the ship Lion, as he was made freeman, March 6, 1632, ordained deacon May 17, 1640. He died 1651, leaving Margery, who died October 30, 1661, at which time she was possessed of £294 19s. 8d. His children, says Savage, were Jacob, baptized December 16, 1632; John, baptized December 28, 1634, died young; Hannah, baptized January 29, 1637; Abigail, baptized April 7, 1639; Susannah, born July 16, 1641; Mehitable, born April 25, 1645; Sarah; Asaph, born October 25, 1651. An inventory (dated 1661) of the property of Jacob Eliot, sen., speaks of him as "formerly deceased," and also names "Jacob Eliot, jun.," and "Francis Eliot."

Lydia Eliot, daughter of Bennett, baptized at Nazing, July 1, 1610. She was living in 1621, and is mentioned in her father's will.

Francis Eliot, youngest son of Bennett, was baptized at Nazing, April 10, 1615. It does not appear at what time he emigrated to New England. His wife Mary, the daughter of Martin Saunders of London, arrived at New England early in 1635. They had issue, Mary, Rachel, John, Hannah, Mary (the first-born of that name died young), and Abigail. Francis Eliot was made deacon, October 12, 1652, and died late in 1677. His will bears date October 30, 1677.
