SAMUEL, Salem, came from Co. Lincoln, in 1629, arr. with w. and ch.
three or four, in the George, 29 June, in co. with Samuel Sharpe, hav.
sail. 4 May from Isle of Wight. He was b. 1584, bred at Clare Hall,
Cambr. Univ. where he had his degr. 1611 and 1614; nam. by the Gov.
and Comp. at London to be of the Counc. to Capt. Endicot, wh. they
appoint. Gov. of the Planta. as they heard that E. had "formerly
receiv. much good by his ministry;" [[vol. 4, p. 104]] but prob. he
never was sw. for the arrest of his assoc. the Browns, bef. com. of
the commiss. would prevent organiz. or action. But in the pulpit his
right as pastor, as well as that of Higginson, for teacher, was fix. 6
Aug. 1629. Desir. adm. as freem. 19 Oct. 1630, he was rec. 18 May
foll.
His w. d. 15 Mar. 1631, and prob. he took ano. w. if the ord. of
Court, June 1638, with the consent of Mrs. Baggerly," that the incr.
of his "cattle shd. b. div. acc. to Mr. Skelton's will; and that the
goods and household stuff wh. belong to the three eldest ch. shd. be
div. by some of the ch." be constr. to mean, that he left a younger
ch. and we might infer, that his. wid. had tak. new h. Mr. Baggerly.
But no such name is found in Felt's list of ch. memb. of Salem, nor
indeed does any Skelton appear there, but the pastor. He rec. in July
1632 gr. of four lots of ld. of various quantity; from the Col.
besides what the town may have gr. if any, tho. no such benefact. to
either him or Higginson, or any ch. of either is ment. He d. 2 Aug.
1634, and much do we regret the loss of his will, that perhaps would
have nam. the childr. In his Ann. II. 568, Mr. Felt explains the
denial to Gov. Winthrop, Isaac Johnson, and compan. of libert. to
unite in the Lord's Supper, or to have a ch. bapt. for wh. Cotton,
then at home express. his surpr. and regr. No wonder the Browns were
driv. away, when these later comers could not by Mr. Skelton be adm.
to his communion as "not memb. of reformed chhs." The great master of
us all would gladly have rec. these men; but the rigid separatists had
sterner sense of duty. So extreme was their repugn. to the formulary,
wh. they had onced used in their weekly worsh. that they would not
longer believe, in the communion of saints. SAMUEL, Salem, s. prob. of
the preced. b. in Eng. sold ld. in S. Feb. 1644, to lieut. Richard
Davenport.
