This parish, the second in the town, was established in 1630. John Everett was its first moderator. He was also the first deacon in the new church, and was appointed assessor. His will prob. April 2, 1751, mentions son Ebenezer Everett. Ebenezer 4 Everett, 6. at Dedham, Aug. 5, 1707; m. March 9, 1734, at North Andover, Mass., Joanna Stevens, dau. of Ebenezer and Sarah [Sprague] Stevens, b. Sept. 11, 1711, d. June 21, 1791. Ebenezer Everett lived for several years at Methuen, Mass. He was dismissed from the First Church in Methuen to the Second Church in Dedham, March 22, 1742. He was chosen deacon of this Second Church, Nov. 30, 1760; selectman 1760-64. He d. June 19, 1778. His will prob. July 17, 1778, mentions son Ebenezer. Ebenezer6 Everett, b. at Dedham, Oct. 7, 1734; TO. at Dedham, first, Dec. 16, 1756, Abigail Bacon, b. at Dedham, 1738; d. at Dedham, June 12, 1789. Abigail Bacon was descended from Michael 1 Bacon, one of the original proprietors of Dedham: "Tradition says he held the office of captain of a company of yeomanry in Suffolk County, England." Her father was Capt. William Bacon, who raised a company for the Crown Point expedition in the French and Indian War. He m. Nov. 17, 1736, Abigail Dean, of Dedham. Capt. Everett m. second, March 22, 1791, at Dedham, Mrs. Abigail [Fisher] Kingsbury, b. March 8, 1736-7, d. June 14, 1809. Ebenezer Everett lived in Dedham, where he was received into the Second Church, March 2, 1760. He was elected deacon July 13, 1778, and was town treasurer in 1780. He served in the French and Indian War and in the Revolution. He was ensign, and marched on the alarm of the 19th of April, 1775, and served ten days. He was also at Dorchester Heights. " Ebenezer Everett — Petition dated Dedham, March 21, 1780, signed by said Everett that he had been appointed Captain of 7th co., Col. William Mclntash's [Mclntosh's] 1st Suffolk Co. regt., in May, 1776; that he had been frequently called upon to raise and fit men for the army, &c., but that owing to ill health he was no longer able to fulfill the duties of the office and asking that his resignation be accepted; ordered in Council July 8, 1780, that the resignation be accepted." (Massachusetts Soldiers and Sailors in the War of the Revolution, p. 424.) Capt. Ebenezer Everett d. at Dedham, Oct. 1, 1808. Isaac 6 Everett, b. at Dedham, Dec. 21, 1757; m. May 8, 1786, Elizabeth Tower of "Tower Hill," Braintree. John 1 Tower was b. at Hingham, England, bap. 1607: he was the son of Robert and Dorithie [Damon] Tower. The mother, Dorothy, was buried at Hingham, England, Nov. 10, 16S9; the father, Robert, was buried in the same place, May 1, 1634. John Gushing of Hingham, in New England, made this record: "1637. — John Tower and Samuel Lincoln came from Old Hingham and settled in New Hingham" [ Samuel Lincoln was the ancestor of Abraham Lincoln]. We do not know the reasons why John Tower left a comfortable home in England for the hardships of a life in the wilderness, probably for the same reasons which induced so many others to emigrate during the period between 1630 and 1640. Among the parishes in England in sympathy with the Puritan movement was that of Hingham, where Robert Peck had been installed as rector a few years before John Tower was born, and under whose ministry John Tower had passed the whole period of his life up to the time of his emigration. Robert Peck had become so decided in expressing his opinions as to receive admonition from his superior, Bishop Wren. He was asked to reform his opinions. Later he came under the censure of Bishop Laud. He was then obliged to retract or leave the country, which he did in 1638, with his wife, two children, and two servants, settling in Hingham, New England, where he was ordained teacher of the church, Nov. 28, 1638. He returned to England with his family, October, 1641. Rev. Peter Hobart ( grad. Magdalen Coll., England) came from Hingham, England, with his father Edmund, Sr., who settled in Hingham, New England, where the father was deputy. There was a brother, Josiah, who became a very prominent and useful citizen at Hingham. Rev. Peter * Hobart was minister at Hingham for forty-four years. [Rev. Peter Hobart was one of the writer's ancestors, as will appear later.] There were several families that came from their English home at Hingham and settled in New Hingham. It is said that many of these sold out their possessions at a great sacrifice. It does not appear that John Tower made any sacrifice. In those times it was not uncommon for young men without means to secure their passage as "servants" to some one who was able to pay the passage money. The ancestors of some of our now opulent people came into this country as servants.
