[The eldest son of the testor of the above
will, Mr. Henry Sewall, came over to New England and was the ancestor of the
distinguised family of that name in Massachusetts. In Essex County Court Papers (Book xxvi. No. 59) may be found a
deposition made 10 April, 1679, by Robert Walker, of Boston, Linen webster,
aged about seventy-two years, in which he testified that about fifty-six years
before, living with his father in the town of Mancester, in Lancashire, within
the realm of England, he did then know one Mr. Henry Sewall who lived at the
same town and in the same street with the deponent's father, being his
overthwart neighbor, and that afterwards the said Mr. Henry Sewall removed with
his family to New England, and there dwelt in the town of Newbury, &c. &c. H. F. Waters
This will furnishes another example of the
wisdom of the course pursued by the associated collection and publication of
material of this kind. In the
introduction to the Sewall Papers, now in course of publication by the Mass. Historical
Society, after staing the investigations made by Co. Chester, the main results
of whose search was placed in their hands, the editors state that the Sewall
family cannot be traced beyond the two brothers (Henry, whose will is here
given, and his brother William, both of whom had been mayors of Coventry in
England). It is to be supposed that
neither the editors nor Col. Chester had the detail which Mr. Waters furnishes
your readers, for in the closing paragraphs of the will here given, guides to obtain
the name of the father of Henry and William Sewall. It appears from the pedigree of the Horne family, which is given
below from the Visitation of Warwickshire, 1619 (see Harleian Soc. Pub., vol.
xii. p. 343),* that William Sewell married Matilda Horne, and that her brother
John was the father of both Reginald and John, who are mentioned in this will
of Henry Sewall respectively as his "kinsman" and "cousin."

Judge Samuel Sewall was always sharp in
money matters, from the time when he received the dowry upon his marriage with
the mint-master's daughter until his [page 156] death , and whether his visit
to his relatives was one of affection or for mercenary motives, it is plain
that if he could get an honest penny, he went for it. He evidently had a full copy of this will, and displayed this
paragraph from it in his Diary, under date of April 9, 1689:
"To the said Margaret during her
natural Life and after her decease to the Heirs of her Body issuing, and for want of such issue of her
body, to remain to the right heirs of me, the said Henry the Testator, for
ever."
This extract is followed by a memorandum
of the date of Margaret Randall's will, May 4, 1646. If this will could be found it might throw some light upon other
relations.
The Judge saw some of the real estate
which had been left to his grandfather's sister Margaret, with the above
proviso, and she had given it to the descendants of her sister Anne, ignoring
the rights of the descendants of Henry, her brother, the grandfather of the
Judge. He told them who he was, and
offered to confirm the right (for consideration?), and he received the emphatic
answer that his relatives would not give him 3d. for it. John Coffin Jones Brown.]

Notes for MARGARET GRAZEBROOK:
She wrote her eldest
son Henry out of her will for "previous offenses" against her and his
siblings. Henry initiated court proceedings possibly to protest the will. Henry Sewall, the ancestor of the American
Sewalls, was of Coventry, Warwickshire, England, and born in the year 1544, or
about that time. He was Alderman of Coventry, and Mayor of the city in 1589 and
1606. He was a linen draper, and a man of large estate. He married Margaret,
eldest daughter of Avery Grazebrook.
Genealogical Gleanings
in England, Vol. II, Genealogical Records, Page 1415
Margaret Sewall of the city of Coventry
aged three score and twelve years and upwards, 7 May 1628, proved 13 June
1632. To be buried in the Drapers
chapel in the parish church of St. Michael near unto the body of my late
husband there lately buried. To Richard
Sewall my youngest son, Anne Power, my daughter, wife to Anthony Power of
Kenelworth gent., and to Margaret Randell now wife to Abraham Randell of the
city of Coventry gent., one annuity or yearly rent charge of eleven pounds
eight shillings issuing out of certain lands in Wytherley, Leicestershire, and
Ansley, Warwickshire, and late in the tenure or occupation of Elizabeth
Throckmorton &c. And I do forgive
unto Henry Sewall, my eldest son, his offences wherein and whereby he hath
sundry times offended me, beseeching Almighty God to give him a heart to deal
conscionably with his [Page 1416] brother and his sisters as he would be done
to, unto whom I give, I mean to my son said Henry Sewall, twelve pence in
money. To my overseers six shillings
eight pence in money. The residue to
Richard Sewall, my son, Anne Power, my daughter, and Margaret Randell, my
daughter, trusting that they will lovingly live together in peace and unity all
the days of their lives. They to be
executors and loving friends Thomas Basnett of Coventry, mercer, and John
Rogerson of the same city, draper, to be overseers.

[I was utterly amazed,
on looking over my past Gleanings recently, to find that this will, which I
took note of a dozen years ago, has not appeared in them. I connot now account for the omission. --
Henry F. Water.
The testator was the widow of Henry
Sewall, mayor of Coventry in 1589 and 1606, and was the daughter of Avery
Grazbrooke, of Middleton, Co, Warwick.
Her husband died 16 April, 1628, and both are buried in St. Michael's
Coventry. The son Henry was the
grandfather of Cheif Justice Samuel Sewall, and settled at Newbury til 5 Aug.
1646, when he conveyed his farm at "Newbury falls River" to his son
Henry and went to Rowley, where he died in 1657. His troubles with his wife (Mass. Records, vol, 1, pp. 162, 236),
and with others of the church in Rowley in 1650, were perhaps repetitions of
his behavior to his family in England.
The will of the husband of the testor is
given in the Register, vol. 40, p. 45 (ante p. 158). Also see Salisbury Memorials, p. 145. -- Walter K. Watkins.]

"In consideration of money disbursed by Mr. Henry Seawall for the
transportation of Edward Bosworth & his family, it is ordered, that
Jonathan Bosworth shall pay to Mr. Seawall the sum of £5 upon the 29th of
September next; William Buckland £5 on the said 29th of September; Nathaniel
Bosworth 50s. at the said day, and 50s. more that day twelve month; &
Benjamin Bosworth 30s. on the said 29th of September, & £3 10s. at

agreed, that the forenamed parties shall be bound one for another for the
payment of the said sums at the several days of payment" [MBCR 1:152].
This association with Henry Sewall suggests that the origin of the Bosworths
should be sought in Coventry, Warwickshire, or thereabouts.

THE name of Sewall is
of great antiquity in England, particularly in the county of Warwick. In
Fuller's "Worthies of England," and in Dugdale's "Antiquities of
Warwickshire," it is found as far back as the eleventh century, and occurs
variously spelled, as Saswalo, Sewald, Sewalle, Seawall, Seawald, and Sewall.
"Saswalo, or Saswald, before the Norman Conquest in 1066, was possessed of
17 hides of land (each hide being, according to Bailey, 'as much as one plough
would cultivate in a year') in the village of Nether Eatendon, Warwickshire,
where he resided, besides considerable tracts of country in the counties of
Northampton, Lincoln and Derby. He built and endowed a church in the place of
his residence, and from the extent of his possessions there, Dugdale concludes
him to be a Saxon Thane. But at the Conquest all his possessions fell into the
hands of Henry de Ferriers, one of the knights, doubtless, of King William, and
ancestor of the Earls of Derby by that name. His Norman lord allowed him,
however, to retain his possessions at Nether Eatendon, and from him they passed
down in the male line of his posterity to the year 1730, a period of about 700
years."1 Several of his descendants were knighted. 1American Quarterly
Register," Vol. XIII., p. 249.

Biographies of Notable
Americans, 1904 The Twentieth Century
Biographical Dictionary of Notable Americans: Volume IX - S
SEWALL, Samuel, jurist,
was born at Horton, near Basingstoke, England, March 28, 1652; son of Henry and
Jane (Dummer) Sewall, and grandson of Stephen and Alice (Archer) Dummer. His
father returned to Newbury, Mass., in 1659, and in 1661 the rest of the family
followed. Samuel Sewall was graduated at Harvard, A.B., 1671, A.M., 1674, was a
tutor there, 167374, keeper of the college library in 1674, and studied
theology there, 1674-77. He was married, Feb. 28, 1677, to Hannah, daughter of
John (q.v.) and Judith (Quincy) Hull, Governor Bradstreet performing the
ceremony, and it is of this marriage that the story is told of the father
presenting the groom with a chest of pine-tree shillings equalling the bride in
weight. Mr. Sewall abandoned the study of theology and was printer of currency
for the colony, 1677-80, was deputy to tire general court for Westfield in 1683,
was a member of the board of assistants, 1684-86, and ex offcio judge of the
superior court. He visited England, 1688-89, served again on the board of
assistants, 1689-91, and was a member of the executive council, 1691-1725. His
wife died in 1717, and on Oct. 29, 1719, he was married to Abigail, daughter of
Jacob Melyen and widow of William Tilley, as she had previously been of James
Woodmansey. The ceremony was performed by Judge Sewall's son Samuel. Abigail
died, May 26, 1720, and on March 29, 1822, Judge Sewall was married to Mary
(Shrimpton) Gibbs, daughter of Henry Shrimpton and widow of Robert Gibbs.
Sewall became judge of the superior court in 1692, chief justice in 1718, and
resigned in 1728, because of his age. He was also judge of the probate court of
the county of Suffolk, 1715-1728. It is noteworthy that of all the judges who
participated in the witchcraft trials, Judge Sewall was the only one who
publicly acknowledged his error, and the memory of those trials seemed to
shadow the remainder of his life. In 1695 Judge Sewall gave 500 acres of land
at Petaquamscutt, Narragansett county, to form an elementary school, and 500
acres in the same locality to Harvard college. He was a fellow of Harvard
college, 1673-74; and is the author of: The Selling of Joseph (1700);
Accomplishment of Prophecies (1713); A Memorial Relating to the Kennebeck
Indians (1721); A Description of the New Haven (1727). He died in Boston,
Mass., Jan. 1, 1730.

WITCHCRAFT AT AA7D ER. 237
How the good judge
Sewall viewed the part which he had taken in condemning the accused, and his
yearly confession of the sin before the church, every reader of the colonial
history knows. It is related by the poet who has immortalized so many New
England names: 7-
Touching and sad a tale is told,
Like a penitent hymn of the
Psalmist old,
Of the fast which the good man
life long kept
With a haunting sorrow that never
slept,
As the circling year brought round
the time
Of an error that left the sting of
crime,
When he sat on the bench of the
witchcraft Courts
With the laws of Moses and Hale's
Reports,
And spake, in the name of both, the word,
That gave the witch's neck to the
cord,
And piled the oaken planks that
pressed
The feeble life from the warlock's
breast."

Notes for ANNE SEWALL:
Ann, the third daughter
of Henry and Jane (Dummer) Sewall, born in Newbury, Sept. 3, 1662, was married,
Nov. 10, 1678, to William Longfellow of Newbury. Mr. Longfellow was born in
Hampshire, England, 1651, and came to Newbury while young, settling in that
part of the town called the Falls. He went, says Judge Samuel Sewall, in 1687,
to England to obtain his patrimony in Yorkshire, and after his return was made
ensign of the Newbury company. Their children were: William; Stephen, died
young; Anne; a second Stephen; Elizabeth; and Nathan, who married Mary Green.
In 1690, William Longfellow, as ensign of the Newbury company, was one of the expedition
to Quebec under Sir William Phips. On the return of the expedition, a violent
storm overtook the fleet in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, and scattered the
vessels; and one of them, containing the Newbury company, went ashore at the
island of Anticosti, and William Longfellow, with nine others, was
drowned. His widow married, May 11,
1692, Henry, son of Henry and Sarah (Glover) Short. Their children were: Jane;
Samuel, died young; Mehitable; a second Samuel, died young; a third Samuel;
Hannah, died in infancy; and Joseph. Mrs. Sewall died in 1706.
Notes for WILLIAM LONGFELLOW:
William Longfellow, who
came from Yorkshire, Eng. to Newbury, was a merchant at Byfield; was Ensign in the
Newbury company in the expedition against Quebec in 1690, was wrecked and
drowned at Anti Costi.
