ARRANGEM ENT OF THE WORK.
The material having been Ob tained from variou s sources,the
arrangemen t could not readily be made uniform,as if the volume
were a continuou s genealogy . For convenience in reference,the
indiv idual s mentioned in “ Town Records,
”and the items in other
Extracts” are,in most instances numbered consecu tively .
In continuou s pedigrees,where the order Of generations is merr
tioned , the plan i s the same as that generally pursued in genealogicalworks .A perusal Of the book will soon enable the reader to become su ffi
cien tly famili ar with the plan to answer the purposes Of inquiry .
I t was the intenti on to have the “ Briggs names ” appear in “ cap sor “ small caps ” in each instance
,bu t there has been some u nin ten
tion al variation from thi s design , not however to such an extent a s tocau se confusion .
A C on cordance was contemplated when thi s work was firs tprojec ted , but i t being absolute ly impossible to find the opportuni tyto arrange i t
,the subjec t was dropped .
The “ proof ” has been carefully read,the printer has performed
his du ty to the best Of hi s Skill,v ery few typographical errors bein g
noted,and Should other errors have crep t in , the respon sibility can
only rest with those who furni shed the material , as the compositorhas stric tly “ fol lowed copy .
”
Therefore,in the hope that some fu ture genealogi st may ari se ,
who,hav ing both purse and Opportunity , will avail himself of these
fragments,and construct a sati sfactory history of the “ Briggs
Family,
” I place thi s contribu ti on on the library Shelf.

The first settlers of Sci tuate came in by way of Plymouth,and
some were of the first ship ’s company . A large addition came in1633
,with Mr. Lathrop as their pastor . Previous to 1640 most of the
population was from Hingham,Dorchester, Watertown ,Weymouth ,
Nan tucket,many were direct from Lon don
,and more
,perhaps
,from
Dorsetshire,England.

RICHARD BRIGGS was the brother of Deacon JOHN and JOSEPH,j u st
mentioned,and was born 12th J anua1y 16 79. He settled at
Jthe
place owned by Dr . Leavet Bates,deceased
,and hi s house Is sup
posed to have ystood di rectly in front Of tli e Trin i tarian meetin ghou se . H i s wife was Mercy
,maI ried about 1706 or 8
,and they had
four sons . He died about the l st of J an . 1733 , as hi s Wi l l was provedJanuary —3 . (A foot note to thi s last name has the Iollowi ng. )
“ In the centre burying gIou nd we find the grave stones of“ RICH’D BRIGGS
,and Mercy
,hi s wife
,w hich say that he died Oct .
1741,in hi s 54th year ; and that she died Sep t . 1749, in her 56th
y eaI . We can find tI aces of only one RI CH’D BRIGGS ofNOI ton,
so eaI ly , except the son of one whose will was moved In 1732—3 and
he had no w ife Mercy,and 13 known to have been alive many years
subsequent to 1741. I t w i l l be noticed that 0 11 the grave s tones ofRI CH’D and M eI cy , the day of the month i s not given . The date ofRI CHARD ’5 death
,as given on the grave stone
,corI e spondS exactly

RD Whose wil l was proved 1732—3 . No doubtRIC H’D an d w ife had been dead so lon g before the stones were set upthat the dates of their deaths were forgotten , and thu s the mistakewas made .
Deacon JOHN BRIGGS, J un
’
,r i s supposed to have been the SC II of
WI LLIAM and Sai ah (M acombei ) BRIGGS , of Taunton , and was bornMar . He was doubtle ss the same p eI son who was sometimes called JOHN BRIGGS second , and sen i or . He probably l ived Inthe easteI ly part of the town , and married p I eviou s to 1713 , HannahRocket . He may have been the man who m aI ried (foi hi s secondwife ? ) Hann ah Wethei ell I II 1 727 . Hi s w i l l was p I obated Aug. 26
,
175 6 , and in i t he mentions eight children . We presume he was theJOHN BRIGGS
, second, Who was deacon of the church .
SAMUEL BRIGGS l ived at the place now own ed 'by Benj amin Sw eet .Of hi s an cestry we know nothin g . He married July 27 , 1692, MaryHall

The fol low ing item s,con tr ibu ted by M AR Y W.
BRI GGS,of Sa lem , M a s s .
,
Will be of interest in connection with the foregoing pedigrees,
one Of which pedigrees , forwarded by Mrs . Geo . B . Holmes,alludes
to C lement Briggs , of Plymouth , 1621 , as a possible ancestor of Rev .
James Briggs,the minister at C ummington
,Mass .
Facts not included, p erhap s , in other accounts of C LEMENT BRIGGS
,found in
Plymouth C ol . Records .
1637 he has land lying 0 11 the South side of Joanes River,now
Kingston,Mass . , and in 1640 a commission i s appoin ted to range the
bound between hi s lands and those of Gov. Thos . Prince .
III 1638 C LEMENT BRIGGS,of Weymouth
,feltmonger
, /came intocourt and deposed that he dw elt with Samuel Latham in Barmundseystreet , Sou thwark , 2 and 20 years ago ; that he di scern ed how manypelts hi s master pulled in a week
,and that those of Robert H icks
were better and cheaper than those Of his master.
My reason for doubting that C LEMENT was the father of RICHARDare these : The n ames of hi s children are given in regu lar succe ssion ,with ages
,from 1633 to 1643 , and REM OND or REMEMBER was born
after that,and there i s n o RI CHARD . Now RICHARD of Taunton nru st
have been of reasonabl e age at the time of hi s marriage in 1662.
That he is n ot the same as REM OND or REMEMBER , i s evident fromthe fact that in 1668
,the year that REMEMBER appl ied to the court
for meadow land granted hi s father’s chi ldren in addition to formertract
,in Weymouth
,n ear Bridgewater
, was the ye ar that RICHARDwas engaged in settling Norton .

GEORGE N IXON was born at South Adam s,among the hill s of
Berkshire, Mass . , 0 11 the twelfth day Of Apri l , 1796.
At the age of fourteen he becam e the subj ec t of personalreligious experience , and was soon a lter baptized and I eceivedin the Bap ti s t C hurch From thi s time to the day of hisdeath he was very z ealou s I II church work .
At seventeen he began the s tudy of law and in 1818 wasadmi tted to the bar . This sam e year he was m arI ied to
Harriet Hall,only daughter OI Ezra and TI iphena Hall of
Lanesboro .
For twelve w ai s M I . Briggs steadi ly and always successful ly
,pursued the path which he had C hose II
,Ogaining al l the
time,in gI eater degr ,
ee the confidence and23
regard of hi sfellow citizens . The dist inction s which marked thi s periodof hi s l ife w ere chiefly those he achieved for himself by histac t an d his fin e foren sic powe i . III 1824 he was Chose nTOWII C lerk of LaIIes ImO and two years later I eceived fromGov. Lincoln an appoin tmen t as C hairman Of the Board ofC omm i s sion ers OII Highways for Berkshire C oun tyIII the fal l of 1830 his populari ty found a demonstrationin the voice Of the people , by hi s elec tion as a member toC ongress
,to which he was re ele cted for six consecutive
terms . The reti red s tatesman was not long permitted tohide him sel f in the obscurity of hi s quiet vi llage home . H i sworth in publ ic life was tOO vividly realized by the people ofh is n ative State
,to give him that respite from i ts obligations
for which he really longed,When he turned hi s back upon
Washin gton at the Close of the twenty seventh C ongr .essSoon
,after the year 1844 was u shered i n , GEORGE N. BRIGGS
w en t to Boston to assume the fun c tions Wi th which the S tateofMassachusetts had invested him as Govern 0 1
,which posi
tion he held for seven years .I II August 1853 he was appointed , by Gov . C l ifford
,Judge
Of the C our t Of C ommon Pleas , an hOIIor which gratified bothi ts recipient and the public
,and thi s office he held for five
years . The end of hi s j udicial service was the end , al so , ofhis public life
,except In those aspects of it which were pure
philan thropic . At the mature age Of ssixty-four,and while
hi s n atu I al strength was not abated , and the force Of hi ss tron g mind not
z3
imp air ,ed he fin isli ed his WOI II for the
C ommonwealth w hich had honored him for a quarter Of acentury , and which he had
,for all that period , honored in
I eturn by un sull ied patrioti sm,by u n swe ingIeal ty to her
interests , and by un grudgin g toil s for her advantage .

A retrospec t of these page s leads me to imagine that the workmight possibly have been improved
,bo th in compilation and in other
minor detai l s . A second though t reminds me that I have neverheard of the “ Briggs ” who had the ambition to undertake a s imilaren terpri se . If I h ad had any concepti on of the magnitude of the
w ork, I should never have begun i t ; bu t having, as i t were ,
“ tumb led ” in to the difficu l ty , I am only surpri sed that. I should havemade even thi s sl ight progress . In 1865
,while in the employ o f the
Atl antic and Great Western Railroad,I commenced the labor , and
have spen t nearly al l the lei sure time afforded from my bu sine ss , incorrespondence , and the arrangemen t of these col lections . Duringthe peri od 1871— 1880 , I Was engaged in divers
"
pursu its as below;and that I have been able to accompli sh thi s book
,notwi ths tanding
my varied employmen ts,i s a s ource of great sati sfacti on to mysel f
,
however it may strike the reade r .
