"Poetick Genius I have none,

Or but a very Sorry one;

Yet can sense loss, and make a Moan:
Plain honest Rimes will serve his turn,
Who in Good earnest means to Mourn;
And best becomes a Prophets urn."

ADAM WINTHROP, B. A., born in Boston 15, and baptized 31 October, 1647, was son of Adam Winthrop, by his first wife Elizabeth, daughter of Joss, or Jose, Glover, who died on his passage from London to New England, where he proposed to set up a printing-press; Elizabeth Harris, his second wife and widow, becoming the second wife of President Henry Dunster.

The General Court of Massachusetts, at the October session in 1652, "In ans' to a petition psented in the behalfe of Mris Elizabeth Winthrop, late wife to Mr Addam Winthrop ... it is hereby ordred & declared, that Adam Winthrop, the orphane of about fiue yeares of age, beinge

full thirds of the pfitts of the sd iland for her life; and that Mr Henry Dunster, Mris Elizabeth Winthropp, dureinge her widdow wood, M' Edward Rawson, Capt Thomas Clarke, & Capt Richard Dauenport are appoynted guardians ouer the sd Adam Winthropp, the orphant, to take care of his education, & also of all his estate, reall & psonall, & to be accountable for the same vnto the sd Adam or his guardian, whom he shall chuse when he comes to the age of ffourteene yeares; and that administration shalbe graunted equally of the goods & chattles late of Adam Winthropp, deceased, vnto Mrs Elizabeth Winthropp, widdow, & vnto Addam Winthropp, the orphane."

The graduate resided some time as a merchant at Bristol, England, where he married Mary, daughter of Colonel Luttrell, and where his children were born, one of whom was Adam Winthrop, H. U. 1694. He returned with his family in 1679. April 30, 1682, he joined the Second

Church in Boston.

At the session of the General Court, 7 February, 1682-3, he was made freeman.

March 30, 1683, upon a petition by him, "he, being proprietor of an island, (called the Gouerno's Island,) falling to him by his anncesto's, wch stands chardged wth the rent of two bushells of aples yearly to the Gennerall Court, that the sajd rent or acknouledgment may be remitted, or a sume æquivolent accepted, & the sajd island fully discharged from the incumbrance aforesajd, the Court grants the peticoner his request, so that he pay, or cause to be payd, the sume of fiue pounds money forthwith, by the first oppertunity, to our agents in England."

Hutchinson says that Winthrop was "very active in the revolution" in the time of Andros. He was Captain of one of the Boston companies of militia which assembled 18 April, 1689, and a signer of the message requesting Andros to "forthwith surrender and deliver up the

Government" and Fort. Under the new government he was chosen one of the two Stewards or Treasurers.

He served as Representative from Boston in the sessions of the General Court summoned to be held 5 June, November, and 3 December, 1689; 12 February, 1690; 20 May, 14 October, 1691; and 8 March, and 4 May, 1692.

He was a member of the Artillery Company in 1692.

As he was one of Mather's church members, the King, by Mather's advice, named him as one of the Governor's Council under the new charter; but the first popular election in May, 1693, "left him out." He was chosen Councillor every year afterward till his death, 3 August, 1700. His will, dated 29 July, 1700, was proved 5 September, 1700. He was buried in the family tomb in the Chapel burying-ground in Boston.

Mary, his widow, 13 March, 1706, became the third wife of Joseph Lynde, of Charlestown, and died 30 October, 1715.

JOHN CULLICK.

Born 1649, died before 1700.

JOHN CULLICK, B. A., born at Hartford, Connecticut, 4 May, 1649, was son of Captain John Cullick, who re

moved to Hartford from Boston, about 1639 or 1640; was Representative, Assistant, held the office of Secretary from 1648 till May, 1658, about which time he came with his family to Boston, joined the church 27 November, 1659, and died 23 January, 1663. May 20, 1648, he married, at Hartford, his second wife, Elizabeth, sister of Colonel George Fenwick, of Saybrook, by whom he had John, the graduate, besides Elizabeth, who was born 15 July, 1652; and possibly one or two other children.

Colonel Fenwick, who died at Berwick, in England, 15 March, 1657, devised all his lands in New England to his "sister Cullick and her children," with a double portion to her eldest son (John). And Governor Edward Hopkins, who died a few days after Fenwick, mentions in his will his "loving friend, Capt. John Cullick," with a legacy of thirty pounds to "his eldest child by Elizabeth his present wife."

To the graduate, the father, "being sicke," bequeaths, 20 January, 1662, one hundred and fifty pounds of "Lawful monney of New-Engla to be payde vnto him at the Adge of one & twenty yeares"; and makes his wife Elizabeth the executrix of his will, and "Capt. John Leverett and James Penn both of Boston, Overseers."

The son had probably been dead many years when he was starred in Mather's Magnalia, and in the Triennial Catalogue of 1700.

His mother, in 1664, married Richard Ely, of Boston, and died 12 November, 1683.
