We now know the name and occupation of his father, the parentage, name, and marriages of his mother, the place and date of his baptism, something of his education, his marriage, his emigration to America, his short ministry in Charlestown, his bequest to the infant College, and his early death. Of his brothers and sisters we know the names, and the dates of their deaths. From these a few other matters may safely be inferred; his Puritanism, for example, his feeble health, his interest in learning. Still other matters are conjectured by the author...
