South-East of _Charles_-River, upon the Sea-Coast, is situated the fifteenth Town _Hingham_; the form whereof is somewhat intricate to describe, by reason of the Seawasting Crooks, where it beats upon a moultring Shore; yet in some places the Streets are compleat: It consisted at first of about sixty Families. [Sidenote: _Dukesbury_, or _Sandwich_.] The sixteenth is in _Plymouth_ Government, situate upon the Sea-Coast, first nam’d _Dukes-bury_, afterwards _Sandwich_. [Sidenote: _Newhaven._] About the year 1617. a new Supply coming over into these Parts, and not finding in the _Mattachusets_ Government any commodious place to settle in, they after much search took up a place somewhat more Southerly, near the _Shalles_ of _Capecod_, where they found a commodious Harbor for Shipping, and a fit place to erect a Town in, which they built in a short time, with very fair Houses and compleat Streets; and shortly after several others: Amongst which they erected a new Government, which from their first Fronteer Town, being the seventeenth, was call’d _Newhaven_. [Sidenote: _Dedham._] The eighteenth is in the Government of the _Mattachusets_, and call’d _Dedham_, being an Inland Town, situate about ten Miles from _Boston_ in the County of _Suffolk_, well water’d with many pleasant Streams, and abounding with Gardens and Fruit-Trees: It consisted at first of about a hundred Families, being generally given to Husbandry. [Sidenote: _Weymouth._] The nineteenth being also in this Government is call’d _Weymouth_, batter’d on the East with the Sea Waves; on the South-West Rocks and Swamps make it delightful to the Deer, as the ploughable Meadow-Lands to the Inhabitants. About the Year 1638. _Printing_ was brought over into _New England_. [Sidenote: _Rowly._] About six Miles from _Ipswich_, North-Eastward, was erected another Town call’d _Rowly_, being the twentieth. [Sidenote: _Hampton._] About the Year 1639. began the one and twentieth Town _Hampton_, in the County of _Norfolk_, to be built: It is situate near the Sea-Coast, not far from the River of _Merrimeck_: The great store of salt Marsh did entice the People to set down their Habitations there. [Sidenote: _Salisbury._] Not far from this Town of _Hampton_, was erected the two and twentieth, call’d _Salisbury_, seated upon the broad swift Torrent of _Merrimeck_-River: It lieth on the Northern side, over against the Town of _Newbury_, the River between them being about half a Mile broad, but hath an Island in the midst thereof, which makes it the more easily passable. The situation of this Town is very pleasant, the Skirts thereof abounding in fair and goodly Meadows, with good store of stately Timber in many places upon the Uplands. [Sidenote: _Long-Island, Southampton._] About the Year 1640. by a fresh Supply of People that setled in _Long-Island_, was there erected the twenty third Town, call’d _Southampton_; by the Indians, _Agawom_. [Sidenote: _Sudbury._]
