+1 NOTE son of William and Thomasine Axtell, was baptised in St. Peter's\r
+2 CONC Church,\r
+2 CONT Berkhamstead, Hertfordshire, England, January 26, 1619 (N.S.). His\r
+2 CONC father\r
+2 CONT died in 1638. He married Mary -- probably in 1638; two children were\r
+2 CONC born to\r
+2 CONT them in England, and their baptism is recorded in St. Peter's. They\r
+2 CONC left\r
+2 CONT England as early as 1643, for in October of that year, Thomas\r
+2 CONC purchased five\r
+2 CONT acres of land in Sudbury, Massachusetts, of Edmond Rice, who himself\r
+2 CONC had come\r
+2 CONT from Berkhamstead five years earlier. This land is described as "lying\r
+2 CONC in ye\r
+2 CONT south part of ye town-bounds, the southwest side lying to the commons\r
+2 CONC and\r
+2 CONT joined to the land of Edmond Rice, southward and northward to the\r
+2 CONC highway\r
+2 CONT leading from Sudbury to Mr. Duston's farm." This is what is now\r
+2 CONC Wayland near\r
+2 CONT "The Five Paths." Thomas took the oath of fidelity July 8, 1645. He\r
+2 CONC died in\r
+2 CONT March, 1646, and was buried the 8th of that month. The following is\r
+2 CONC the\r
+2 CONT inventory of Thomas Axtell of Sudbury, lately deceased,\r
+2 CONT\r

+2 CONT His land and house 8£ 10s\r

+2 CONT Edmond Rice bought back the land, six acres, and dwelling house. This\r
+2 CONC was\r
+2 CONT near the spring.\r
+2 CONT\r
+2 CONT The story told in those words is short, indeed, but we are\r
+2 CONC permitted to\r
+2 CONT see what it stands for. The young Englishman was a soldier or at least\r
+2 CONT trained to arms; he was of strong puritanical leanings, like his\r
+2 CONC brother\r
+2 CONT Daniel the regicide. With his wife and two little ones he followed his\r
+2 CONT neighbor across the sea to make his home in a frontier settlement of\r
+2 CONC New\r
+2 CONT England. Scarcely had he set up his rooftree in the wilderness when\r
+2 CONC hardships\r
+2 CONT and exposure struck him down.\r
+2 CONT\r
+2 CONT With his last breath he leaves his little all for the helpless\r
+2 CONC group about\r
+2 CONT his death bed. Mary, the widow of Thomas, appears to have married John\r
+2 CONT Maynard, a widower with a boy of eight, on June 16, 1646.\r
