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.
