" He deserves," says Up- ham on witchcraft, " to be recognized preeminent, for a time almost alone, in bold denunciation and coui'ageous re- sistance of the execrable proceedings of that dark day. When every member of his family (six) were under arrest or suspicion, he said — ■• The Lord give us all a submissive will, and let the Lord do with me and mine what seems good in his eyes."

Robert Andrew was born in Box- fortU Suffolk; a man of wealth, and one of the twelve who were the only ones for the first seventy-five years in Essex county, Mass., to use a coat of arms in sealing a will.

John is supposed to be a son of Walter, and grandson of An- drew, of Upshire, Essex. The Brigiits, Dudleys, Goldstones, Stewarts, Jewetts, Coffins, Gilmans, Andrews, Peabodies, Carletons, and Dentons, to whom possi- blj^ the Audleys may some time be added, were among the few of the landed gentry of England that came to America. Even they can not all fairly prove their right to a coat of arms. The false pretentions of other families should be hotly denounced as dishonest or ignorant, l^^et no one be deceived by the coat of arms on the cover of the Stickney genealogy, or by the unproved claim of the American Eastmans. A portrait of the alderman, two hundred and fifty years old, is in the town liall of Bury. He was lord of the manor of Butters, in 'J'hompson, Norfolk, and of the manor of Brookhall, in Foxearth, Essex. Henrie was married prior to 1593. and died in England in 1609. His sister and Sir VValLer Raleigh married Sir Nicholas and JViiss Carew.
