Notes for WILLIAM WALTON, REV.:
Alumni report of Emanuel College, Cambridge states that he entered 18 Feb 1617 and got his BA in
1621 and his masters in 1625. It also indicates he was "of Somerset" and that he was a "sizer", one
who financed his education by working part time. He "subscribed to the oath of Supremacy and XXXIX
Articles in the Diocese of Bristol September, 1621" and was licensed to hold a Curacy on March 31,
1828" according to the "Somerset and Dorset Notes and Queries (vol 6, p. 136).
In Hingham by 1635 - was among the 29 men who drew house lots and receive grants of land for
pasture on 18 Sep 1635. There is an inlet near Hingham harbor known as Walton's Cove for at least
300 years that may have been the site of his land. Took the oath as a freeman there 3 Mar 1635/6.
Moved to Marblehead before 1637 (when he's listed on a tax list) as the first pastor. He was granted
land at Marblehead on 14 Nov 1638. When Marblehead became an independent town in 1649 (until
then it was part of Salem), William was granted 40 pounds for his services as minister.407
SAVAGE: WILLIAM, Marblehead 1639, had been bred at Emanuel Coll. Cambridge, where he took his
