1648, Oct 19, Joseph Austin, appears in a list of inhabitants of Dover that were tax payers. New England Historical and Genealogical Register, 4:31, 1850.
1655, (prior to), Joseph Austine, appears in a list of those taking Oath of fidelity. Extracts from Dover Town Records. New England Historical and Genealogical Register, 4:247, 1850.
NEW ENGLAND HISTORICAL AND GENEALAOGICAL REGISTER, Vol I., p 450 & Vol. 5, p 450: "Joseph Austin is said to have come to Dover about 1647 from Hampton, NH, where there was a Joseph Austin in 1642. He was taxed in Dover in 1646. In 1649, he purchased of Richard Waldron one-fourth part of the "old mill" at Cocheco, Lower Falls for "accomodation" of which he received the wood of three acres. In 1658, he exchanged with Elder William Wentworth "Emery's Farm" for other land. Joseph lived in Cocheco. He married (probably second wife) Sarah, daughter of Elder Edward Starbuck, and widow of William Story. His will dated 6 June, 1662; proved 1 July, 1663. He gave his wife some portion, the remainder, he divided equally among his children, save that the son Thomas was to have a double share." Pope, PIONEERS OF MAINE AND NEW HAMPSHIRE, p 8: "Joseph, planter, Dover, had case in court in 1647; taxed Oct. 19, 1548. Bought one quarter of a sawmill of Richard Waldron 20 Set. 1649. He deposed 27 June, 1661, ae. about 45 years [P. Files.] His will dated 25 Jan. 1662, was probated July 1, 1663, by widow Sarah; beq. to wife and children; son Thomas to have a double portion; brother Peter Coffin one of the overseers." CONFLICT: HISTORY OF DOVER, NH, Vol. 1, 1923, p 372: "Joseph Austin, who owned part of the mill property at Cochecho Falls, in 1649 and later resided at Dover Neck, having come there, probably from Hampton, where a Joseph Austin resided on 1642. He moved up to Cocheco at an early day, though where his house was we have no means of knowing. In addition, he had various grants from the town, one as follows: A grant of 100 acs., laid out "between Quamphegon and Saynt Albans Cove, partly or together by Nechoaneck River, on ye S.E. and on the N.E. by Henery Tibbits hundred acres of land and partly by Thomas Handsons hundred; on S.W. side by a heyway that is to lay between Thomas Caney and him" also a grant of 50 acs. at fresh creek, etc. Joseph Austin married (probably as his 2nd wife) Sarah, daughter of Elder Starbuck and widow of William Storey* (see note below). Her first husband died ca 1658. She married 3rd husband* (see note below) after Austin's death viz Humphrey Varney. Mr. Austin made his will Jun. 6, 1662 and it was proved Jul. 1, 1663. There was a Samuel Austin taxed here in 1649, who Dec. 1, 1650, conveyed all his premises to William Furber. Not a single Austin appears in the list of Baptized, in the last century; the inference being that they were mostly Quakers. The Austin interest in the Sawmills ceased somewhere between 1719 and 1760."

1100. John Neal was born about 1640. He died 1 on 18 Feb 1704 in Old Eliot, York Co., ME. He married Joan Searle.
1. Settled in Unity, Me., about 1656.
2. On Sept. 3, 1650, Oliver Cromwell, Captain General of the Parlimentary Forces of England, with an army of 16,000 entered Scotland, and at the battle of Dunbar, defeated the Scots under Leslie, who was leading the forces of Charles II of England, who had landed in Scotland on June 24th of that year. On Sept. 3, 1651, the Battle of Worcester was fought. The Cromwellian forces totally defeated the Royalists, and Charles II, in disguise escaped to France. At the Battle of Dunbar, 10,000 Scots were made prisoners, and many more at the Battle of Worcester. Among these prisoners of war was John Neal (Neial) who settled in the Parish of Unity, York Co., Maine, now South Berwick or Eliot, and who settled there according to his own affidavit now on file in Alfred Maine, prior to 1660. John Neal is supposed to have arrived on the ship "Unity" at Boston or Charlestown, Mass., in the early 1650's. He was compelled to work as a bound servant, prisoner of war as an apprentice in the saw mills or the Lynn, Mass. Iron works, about six years, for which he received a grant of land in Berwick, Me. William Furbush was in a like position. The prisoners taken at the Battle of Worcester arrived in Boston or Charleston, on the ship "John and Sara". Richard Leader brought a great number of these prisoners from the Lynn Iron Works to work in a saw mill at Great Works, South Berwick, Me., so that the length of time that John Neal was compelled to work in Lynn, Mass., is in doubt. Berwick-on-the-Tweed is one of the border towns between England and Scotland on the west coast, and it is assumed that the Battle of Dunbar was fought near this town, and that the said John Neal was one of those instrumental in naming the town Berwick in Maine. (p. 227, 228, Neal family, Brigham, Emma E., Springfield, Mass., 1938.)
1101. Joan Searle was born about 1640.
1120. Moses Cleveland was born on 2 Feb 1620 in Ipswich, Ipswich Borough, Suffolk, England. He died on 9 Jan 1701 in Woburn, Middlesex Co., MA. He married Ann Winn on 26 Jul 1648 in Woburn, Middlesex Co., MA. Moses was buried in First Burial Grounds, Woburn, Middlesex Co., MA.
1. "Moses Cleveland was born probably at Ipswich, Eng., about 1624, died at Woburn January 9, 1701-2, Maryed in Woburn 26 September 1648 Ann Winn, born according to family tradition, in Wales, or, according to another account, in England, about 1626, died probably at Woburn prior to May 6, 1682, a daughter of Edward and Joanna (---) Winn." (p. 23, The genealogy of the Cleveland and Cleaveland families : an attempt to trace in both the male and the female lines the posterity of Moses Cleveland ..., of Alexander Cleveland ... and of ancient and other Clevelands in England, America and elsewhere : with numerous biographical sketches : and containing ancestries of many of the husbands and wives : also a bibliography of the Cleveland family : and a genealogical account of Edward Winn... Cleveland, Edmund James, 1899)
"It is generally .stated that he came from Ipswich an indentured apprentice to a joiner, housewright, or master builder, name of his master not ascertained, conjectured to be Edward' Winn (whose daughter he afterward married; for "he went to Woburn with his master," and there settled in 1640-1. Perhaps Moses' landed at Plymouth, but more probably at
Boston, where, in 1635, there were far better docks. He likely remained from 1635 to 1640 in Boston or vicinity. In 1642, the selectmen of Woburn appointed "land viewers" to view and set off a share of the public lands promised by the General Court at Boston to Moses Cleveland, and in 1643 he became a freeman. A freeman was required to be of godly walk and conversation, to be at least 20 years of age, to take an oath of allegiance to the government of Massachusetts Bay Colony, to be worth 200 lbs, to hold office if elected or pay a fine of 40 shillings, to vote at all elections or pay the same fine. These restrictions and conditions were so onerous that many who were eligible preferred never to become freemen, being more free as they were. Gov. John Winthrops History of New England contains incomplete lists of freemen." (p. 26, Genealogy of Cleveland)2. Petition of Moses Cleveland FOR RELEASE OF HIS BROTHER Samuel Cleveland FROM THE ARMY.

1. 1652, May 26, Hen. Baldwine of Woborn, shown in list of freeman. New England Historical and Genealogical Register, 3:192, 1849.
2. Henry Baldwin, the immigrant ancestor, probably from Devonshire, in England, was one of the first settlers of the new town of Woburn, and of that part of it which is now known as North Woburn. Here in 1661, he built the "palatial house which is still on of the most imposing in the town, and which, though with some changes and occasional improvement," has been owned and occupied by his descendants for six generations. The house is the oldest dwelling in Woburn. The estate connected with it and its owner, Colonel Loammi Baldwin, contained in 1801 the large number of 212 acres, valued at $9,000 by the town assessors at that time. A late owner, George R. Baldwin, son of Colonel Baldwin, is succeeded by his daughter, Mrs. Griffith. In 1820, the house was in looks much the same as now. The north chimney, put up by George R. Baldwin, was reputed to be the first "single flue" chimney made in the country. He designed the chimney caps and built a small addition to the rear of the house. On the south, between the house and the canal, was formerly a beautiful garden, with walks and trees, superior to anything of the kind then in this section. All traces of its appointments having long since disappeared, "neither fountain, nor arbor, nor walk, nor boat, is there now to hint at the story of the past." In 1832, George R. Baldwin occupied the mansion house. Attached to the estate in 1820 was a farm house which, doubled in size, still exists as an attachment to the larger place.
Henry Baldwin was a sergeant of the Woburn militia from 1672-85, and deacon of the First Church, Woburn, from 1686 until his death.
