5-8 9> lo II 12 13 From Hingham records we learn that " John Dunbar married, July 4, 1679, Mattithiah daughter of George and Catherine Aldridge (or Aldrich) of Dorchester 1636, of Mendon 1663." Savage's "Genealogical Dictionary" states that "George Aldridge (or Aldrich), Dorchester, freeman 7 Dec. 1636, by wife Catherine had Mattithiah born 10 July 1656." John and Mattithiah Dunbar had at Hingham, according to the records, Susannah,^ Lydia,^ and two sons bearing the name of John.^ Several years intervened between the dates of birth of these children. The last mention of the father is in May 1697; and the Town-Clerk writes: "The record of John Dunbar's family stops here in the Hingham records, and the inference would be that he removed." He no doubt removed to New Haven, Conn., as a John Dunbar is mentioned in the New Haven records July 24, 1700. It has been accepted by Prof. Charles F. Dunbar of Harvard University, and other members of the Dunbar family, and genealogists, with whom the writer has corresponded, that he is the same person as the John Dunbar of Hingham. This is now confirmed by the names of his children given in the New Haven records. By Elizabeth Beecher, his second wife, he had several children, among whom were James 2 and Joseph, ^ twins, born in 1703, evidently named for the two brothers next to himself, his boyhood's playmates in Hingham. After the death of these boys, he repeated the name of Joseph^ in 1704, and of James ^ in 1708. He also repeated the name of Lydia who was born in Hingham, by giving it to a child Lydia ^ born in 1714 in New Haven. The late Henry White who kindly searched the New Haven records for the purpose, found that John Dunbar married Elizabeth Beecher July 24, 1 700. From a comparison of the date of this marriage with the dates of birth of the children born of it, as given in the New Haven records, and the fact that the widow Elizabeth Dunbar gave her property to her own Dunbar children, and nothing to John Dunbar Jun. and Sarah (Dunbar) Diodate, who are both mentioned in John Dunbar's Will as his children, Mr. White concluded that they were children of a former wife. 414
^tmtnt of Satali (25tmfiat) moXmtt This corresponds with the record at Hingham of his marriage in 1679 to Mattithiah Aldridge (or Aldrich). John Dunbar had a good estate. It is interesting in this connection to trace the long continuation of family-names. Robert Dunbar had a daughter Sarah. John Dunbar gave the name to his daughter Sarah, afterwards Mrs. Diodate, who gave the name Sarah to a child of hers who died. Her daughter Elizabeth gave the name to her daughter Sarah who became Mrs. John Griswold ; who in turn gave it to her daughter Sarah, Mrs. Gardiner ; who gave it to her daughter Sarah, Mrs. David Thompson ; Sarah, Mrs. David Gardiner ; who who repeated it to her daughter gave it to her daughter the young Sarah Diodate Gardiner, to whom we are indebted for a copy of the Diodati arms. Of these eight generations the last six of the name are in the direct line of descent. The name Ehzabeth has come down in the Whicker, Morton, Diodati, Griswold, Lane, and Moss families for nine generations in the direct line, with only three breaks. Each of the two names has been borne, also, by others of the descend- ants of Sarah Dunbar and Ehzabeth Whicker. 415
