Notes for Mary FARROW
Mary came to Hingham, MA, with her parrents in 1635.
The Stowell Geneology begins with Samuel Stowell: "Samuel Stowell was a blacksmith. In those days, especially in a small community like Hingham, the village blacksmith was a very useful member. He not only shod the horses, but repaired all the wagons, farming tools and implements and, what was of greate importance, the fire arms with which those pioneers defended their homes and property. His work was humble and undoubtedly crude measured by modern standards, but it covered a wide scope, was essential and apparently was well done for he stood well and was a erspected member in that rather dignified and self respecting community, for his descendants all married into the best families of Hingham and Newton.
"Samuel does not appear to have taken any part in the political or official or church life of Hingham for his name does not appear as an office holder. Bringing up a large family seemingly engrossed all his time and thoughts. His mental characteristics are shown in that clause of his will wherein he provided for his wife and children.
"The will of Samuel Stowell was dated 27 Oct. 1683, probated 30 Jan 1783-4. Wife mary and sons Samuel and David Stowell appointed Administratrix and Administrators. 'To wife Mary for her maintenance and the bringing up of my children, not already brought up, during the time of her widowhood, then on her marriage or decease, the estate is to be divided among my children, both sons and daughters, my eldest son Samuel to have a double share. My beloved friends Capt. John Jacob and Thomas Lincoln to be overseers of my estate.' Inventory 185.1.2 (Suff. Prob., Vol. 6, p. 447.)
"Residence, Fort Hill Street, Hingham. Had a lot in Hingham granted to him in 1656 and drew lot No. 4, his share in undivided land in Cohasset in 1670. 'At a town meeting 12 Dec. 1677, the inhabitants who are proprietors of the undivided common lands in said Hingham give and grant unto Samuel Stowell to his heirs and assigns forever, the 59th lot in 4th Division of land in said Hingham and Weymouth, containing ten and one-half acres, etc.'"
Samuel Stowell is mentioned in Rev. Peter Hobart's diary in 1649.136
