MARY
Howe wheel lists Mary as Abraham's first wife. Howe Genealogy has no
name for her. New England Marriages Prior to 1700 lists Elizabeth as
first wife and Sarah as second wife, although first children were born
in England. Why would NEMP1700 list his wife at all, if he was married
in England. Were there three wives?

Ballard.
WILLIAM BALLARD, a farmer from London, England, sailed in 1630 in the
"Mary and John," Captain Sayres, and settled at Lynn, Mass., with his
wife, Sarah, and several children. When the celebrated military
organization, the "Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company," was first
organized in 1638 he was one of the original members. He was appointed
magistrate in 1638. He died about 1643. A day or two before his death
it is recorded that he intended to make his will the next day, but
died before he could put it to writing. He would have his wife, Sarah,
have half, and his children the other half of his estate.
WILLIAM BALLARD, son of William and Sarah ((???)) Ballard, was born in
England in 1603 and sailed from London in 1635 in the ship "James,"
with his wife, Elizabeth, and one child, Esther, then two years of
age. He settled first at Lynn, Mass., and later at Andover, where he
was a considerable land owner. He died at Andover, July 10, 1689. One
of his sons, Joseph, has the notoriety of being the cause of the first
charge of witchcraft against citizens of Andover during that strange
and horrible craze. His wife had been sick for many weeks and medicine
brought no relief. Her husband finally decided to try the so-called
spiritual methods for ascertaining the cause of her ailment.
Accordingly, he sent to Salem and induced two of the party of young
girls, who were engaged in that strange work there, to come over to
Andover. They were received with great solemnity, and were immediately
conducted to the meeting-house, where a season of prayer followed.
They were then abjured to tell the truth, and, upon being questioned,
named certain persons in Andover and other places as tormentors of the
sick woman. The constable, another son of
William Ballard, forthwith obtained warrants for the arrest of the
accused, and hurried them off to Salem jail. Others were accused, and
in a short time forty prisoners were placed in irons and huddled
together in the limited space within the jail. The story of the
horrible affair need not be retold. In all, eight Andover citizens
were condemned, three were hanged and one died in prison, not to
mention the victims from other towns.

Woonsocket May 24, 1893
Dear Mrs. Holbrook (Maud S.)
According to promise I send you all I find in my Colonial Records concerning your ancestor Charles Scott. The name of Slack appears in
several instances in these records, but no Eliphalet Slack. Sarah Brown thinks he was a Boston man. If he was a Massachusetts man it is
not likely that his name would be found in our RI records. I will try Olney Arnold and see if he can give me any account of Mr. Slack.
Your friend,
D. D. Farnum

Charles Scott, a soldier in the Revolution, was a private in Major General Sullivan's Life Guard., Rhode Island Militia, was wounded in the hip in a battle with the British in Rhode Island Aug. 29, 1778 which renders the hip joint stiff, and has drawn the joint up in such a manner as to shorten the right leg about five inches, which renders it difficult for him to travel, the ball remaining in the hip or thigh, which has occasioned the wound to break out several times, per certificate from Dr. John Gould and Capt. Aaron Mann, who commanded the guard. Charles Scott was at this time about 20 years of age. Being disabled, he was honorably discharged from service March 16, 1779.
In January 1782 the General Assembly of the State of Rhode Island voted to pay Wm. Bradford for medicine and attendance on Charles Scott 16 pounds, 16 shillings, 6 pence and at the same time voted Mr. Scott one hundred dollars in money "for his wound".
In June 1785 the United States Congress passed an act pensioning all disabled and wounded soldiers of the Revolution during life. Chas.
Scott had a pension of $2.50 per month from the time of his discharge March 16, 1779. On the 23 January 1786 his pension with interest
amounted to 37 pounds, 1 shilling, 6 pence and was paid about this time. The pension continued during his life; later on it may have
been increased. I find nothing later about him, however, and do not know the date of his death.
