been, probably, one of the first wife's children, instead of the Inst named of the second wife's, and under age in 1669. She would hitve been forty years old when her first child was born, and fifty-two at the birth of her last. Savage makes her to be a daughter of the second Rev. John Keyner; but as he was bom in 1613, it is hardly probable that he had n daughter marriageable in 1671, whose mother was bom in 1655, and who (the daughter) was born in 1636! It is more likely that the age ?98? ii purely imaginary. Besides, the second John had no children.
Can anybody unravel these several entanglements ?
The following facts seem to be settled, Rev. John Rcyner was bom at Gildcrsome, parish of Uatley, co. York (when?); graduated at Emanuel in 1625; married (1),
----- Boys, and (2), before 1642, Frances Clarke, of Boston, Mass.; came to this
country about 163o, and settled as pastor in Plymouth in 1636, where he remained until November, 1G54 ; spent the following winter in Uoston; was settled as pastor over the church in Dover, N. II., in 1665, and died there, still in pastoral office, April 20, lCiiO.
lie had children: by first wife,?Jnchin, of Howlcy ; and Ilamiah, m. Job Lane. By second wife,?(Rev.) John, born 1613 ; Elizabeth ; Dorothy ; Abigail ;'and Judith. All these were living in 1669. lie had also, by second wife, Joseph, bom Aug. 15, 1650, died Nor. 23, 1652; and one of the above daughters (name lost) was born Dec. 20, 1647.
Of these children:
Jachin manied, Nov. 12, 1662, Eliiabcth Denison, ?who died July 8, 1708, having had: Edward, bom July 6, 1671; Jachin, bom Jan. 31, 1673?4 ; Anna, bom July 22, lf>78; and Jachin, bom Jan. 20, 1631-2. (I believe these statements are correct, though they differ from Savage.)

John, II. C. 1663, is said to have been in feeble health. lie was assistant to hil father, at Dover, for some years before the decease of the latter. Soon after hi* father?s death, he was invited, July 22,1669, to officiate for one year. He did so, and evidently continued, but was not ordained until July 12, 1G?1. Fitch says "he possessed a double portion of his father's spirit." He died in officc, Dec. 21, 1676. Some say he died at Braintree (where he married) ; Hull (a connection) says: ?? Mr. John Rayner, minister of Dover, died of a cold and fever that he took in the Held among the soldiers.? The time was that of the expedition of Cnpts. Syll and Ilathomc, with soldiers from Major Waldron?s command, eastward from Dover. Evidently he accompanied the Dover soldiers. Whether in his sickness he went to Braintree, I cannot find satisfactory authority. His wife was Judith, daughter of the second Edmund Quincy, of Braintree. She was bom 26 4 mo., 1655. Her tomb-stone in Quincy says: "Judith llcyner. Daughter to Edmund and Joanna Quincy, Rclio of the Reverend John Rcyner, late .Minister of Dover, nged 23 years.? His mother administered upon his estate.
Whether the four daughters of the first Rev. John erer married, is still left to investigation, saving what is said of Judith.	A. H. Qmirr.

Atxinsox Academt? Enoch Halt..?(Register, ante, p. 126). In Mr. Todd?s article on Atkinson Academy, Enoch Hale, a principal of that academy, is said to have been ? not a college graduate.?? This is an error. Mr. Hale was a native of Alstcad, a brother of tire lute David Hale of Newport, and of the late Salma Hale of Keene, lie graduated at the University of Vermont in 1826,?taught in New-London, Alstcad and Atkinson, and died in the latter place Nov. 16, 1830. He took orders in the Episcopal church shortly before his dcnth.
This correction is the more desirable as Mr. Hole appears in Mr. Todd?s article aa the only principal of the Academy, during its long existence, not having a full collegiate education.	Robert	S.	Hale.

/^^Jarveb.?John Carver, the first governor of Plymouth colony, and Robert Carver
of Duxbury, who lived iMli-lusU, were brothers, it we accept a iradifTdfl fMtlflg Upon direct and credible testimony. MissMarcia A. Thomas, the scrupulous and cautious sntiqu/iry of Marshfield, had it from Joshua Carver, 1732-1826, son of William Carver, 1659-1760, who lived 21 years with his grandfather Robert, 1694-16S0: so that Hiss Thomas's information was but one move from the lips of Robert himself. They
Vail lived on the old homestead from 1649 to date. This is well worthy of note in a scarch for the lineage of Governor Carrer.	J. W. Tiiob-nton.
