By referring to the list of those who signed the compact at Cape
Cod, taken from Governor Bradford's folio manuscript, we know who
signed the compact, and the number of persons in the family of each;
who of the signers brought wives, and who died the first winter. By
the pocket-book of Governor Bradford we know the names and dates of
the deaths of sixteen who died the first season, and how many died
before the arrival of the Fortune, on the 9th of November, 1621. By
an examination of the Old Colony Records, we know to whom land was
assigned in 1624, and what families were extinct at that time; and, as
the families were arranged according to the vessel in which they came,
and an acre was granted to each individual, we know how many were at
that time in each family. Smith has also told us that none of the first
planters died during the three years preceding the close of the year
1624. By the division of cattle, in the year 1627, a record of which
was made at Plymouth, we know every individual who was living at that
date, and the relative age of each person in every family. By wills,
records, and gravestones, we know the ages of many of the Pilgrims and
their children.
From such materials, and with such authorities, the following table
has been constructed; and it is believed, that, although there is a
possibility of the existence of small errors which can never be proved,
the list is entirely or very nearly correct.
In order to save space and unnecessary printing, and to exhibit more
readily for reference some of the most important facts, the following
distinctive marks are made use of.
Those who signed the compact at Cape Cod, on the 11th of November,
1620, are in capitals.
The number in each family is indicated by the Arabic numeral.
Those who brought their wives have this mark, †.
Those who left them for a time in Holland or England are thus
distinguished, ‡.
Those who died before the arrival of the Fortune on the 9th of
November, 1621, have an asterisk, *.
Those who died before the division of cattle in 1627, are in italics.
The dates of those who died the first season are given as taken from
Bradford's pocket-book.

In the division of land in 1624, Henry Samson and Humilitie Cooper had
land assigned them among those who came in the May Flower, and for
this reason they have been generally believed to have been among the
passengers of that vessel. If such is the case they can be placed in
the family of Mr. Carver better than that of any other. But, as Mr.
Cushman is also placed on that list, it may be reasonably inferred that
others were put there for some other reasons, as perhaps Samson and
Cooper, who are therefore excluded in this account.
John Goodman is marked in Bradford's manuscript as among those who died
the first season. But as his name occurs among those who had garden
lots in 1620, and also in the division of land in 1623, it must be
inferred that he was marked by mistake, or else Mr. Prince committed an
error in taking his copy for the Annals.
Three of the wives of the signers were left in Europe; namely,
Bridgett, the wife of Dr. Samuel Fuller, Hester, the wife of Francis
Cooke, and Elizabeth, the wife of Richard Warren. These afterwards came
over in the Ann, in 1623.
Five lost their wives and married again; namely, William Bradford,
who married widow Alice Southworth; Edward Winslow, who married
widow Susanna White; Isaac Allerton, who married Fear Brewster, and
afterwards, Joanna ----; Miles Standish, who married Barbara ----; and
Francis Eaton, who married Christian Penn.
Others were married for the first time; namely, John Howland and
Elizabeth Carver; George Soule and Mary; Love Brewster and Sarah
Collier; John Alden and Priscilla Mullins; Resolved White and Judith
Vassal; Giles Hopkins and Catherine Wheldon; Edward Dotey and Faith
Clarke; John Cooke and Sarah Warren; Samuel Eaton and Martha Billington.
Several of the Pilgrims had children born in New England, an account of
whom may form another article at some future time.

NOTICES OF THE COURTS OF JUDICATURE AND OF THE BAR OF THE COUNTY OF
MERRIMACK, NEW HAMPSHIRE.
BY STEPHEN COLBY BADGER, ESQ., OF CONCORD.[25]
The History of the Courts in New Hampshire, including an account of the
various systems of Judicature from time to time, has been published in
an article contained in the American Quarterly Register, Vol. XII.,
prepared by Francis Cogswell, Esq., of Dover, and in Articles contained
in the New Hampshire Repository, Vols. I. and II., prepared by William
Butterfield, Esq., of Gilmanton, Hon. Samuel D. Bell of Manchester, and
the Hon. John Kelly of Exeter, N. H. Nothing further need be said on
this subject.
The County of Merrimack, by an act of the Legislature, passed in 1823,
was formed from the Counties of Hillsborough and Rockingham, with the
exception of a part of the town of Franklin, which was taken from
Sanbornton, then in Stratford County, now in the County of Belknap. It
contains twenty-four towns.
The Counties of Hillsborough and Merrimack compose the Second Judicial
District for the transaction of business of the Superior Court, and
Courts are held annually at Concord on the second Tuesday of July, and
at Amherst on the second Tuesday of December.
The following list of Judges, County Officers and Members of the Bar,
include those who resided within the limits of the County of Merrimack
before its formation, and also those who have resided within the County
since it was formed.

BIOGRAPHICAL NOTICES OF DECEASED PHYSICIANS IN MASSACHUSETTS.
BY EBENEZER ALDEN, M. D.
To the Editor of the New England Historical and Genealogical Register.
DEAR SIR,
In accordance with your suggestion, I propose to send you
occasionally for publication, as your limits may permit, brief
notices and reminiscences of Physicians, who have lived in
Massachusetts.
The plan of your Periodical requires that such notices should
be brief; and I shall usually refer your readers to the sources
of information, from which my materials have been obtained, so
as to facilitate the investigations of those who may wish in
any case to make still further inquiries.
