FAMILY GENEALOGIES - EELLS or EELES to JACOB, or JACOBS EELLS, or EELES. John, was among the early settlers of Dorchester, and "dwelt at Fox-point." According to the History of Dorchester, now in the course of publication, and from which we quote, "it appears that he removed to Hingham;" and it is suggested, that" he may have been John the bee-hive maker, who finally settled in Newbury(This last statement is crossed out) He had a son Samuel, bap. in D., May 3, 1640." Samuel s. of Jno., according to family doc'ts., sett. in Milford, Ct. He commanded a garrison at Dartm’h, Mass., in Philip's War, 1676; was J. P.; and Rep. from H‘m., 1705-6; m. Anna da. of Rev. Robt. Lenthal, of Wey'h.;. and had 7 sons, and 1 da., the latter of whom m. on Long Island. The name of Lenthal was preserved in this family for a long time, and still exists in it. After the death of his 1st w., Mr.E. moved to H’m. Mass., taking with him his youngest son, Nath'l., and there m. (2) wid. Sarah North, formerly a Peck, (H'm. Rec.) She was prob. the wid. of Joseph Peck, of H’m., and her maiden name was North, she being a desc't. of the noble family of that name in England. The fa. d. in, H’m., in 1709; and his wid. is Scit., in 1711. A son John, lived in Milford, Ct., and had 2 das., Ann who m.. Thos. Weldon, and Frances. who d:. at her uncle Nath'l., in 1718. Note-We find the name of John Eales, among the freemen of Mass., in 1684, (N. E. Gen.. Reg.,: Vol. 3, p. 92); and Henry Eeles was a Pass. Va. in the Merchants'Hope, Hugh Weston, Master, in 1635. (Ib vol. 4, p.190.) It has been suggested, that the names of Eells and Ellis, were formerly one; but of the correctness of this suggestion we are not prepared to decide. Similarity does not always prove Identity. 2. Nathaniel (Rev. Nath'l,) s. of Capt. Sam'l., was b. in 1678, grad. at H. C. 1699, and sett. in Scit., over the 2d Churh, in 1704. He was m. by his fa. to Hannah North, of H’m., (aunt to Frederick, Lord Worth, afterwards Prime Minister of Geo. III.) Oct. 12, 1704, and d. in Scit, Aug. 25, 1750, ae. 72 and his wid., May. 1, 1754. He is described by Deane, as a man “of a stature rather above mediocrity, of broad chest and muscular proportions, remarkably erect, somewhat corpulent in his late years, of dark complexion, with and brows, and of general manners rather dignified and commanding, than sprightly and pleasing" He wrote a fair hand, as the Church Records show; and as a preacher, his discourses prove him to have been a man of great simplicity of style, and directness of argument. He prepared his own sons, and others, for Collage, and was a ripe scholar, naturally shrewd, and one eminently qualified for usefulness in the station he filled. ch.: 1. Sarah, Aug. 5, 1705, m. Benj.

C. 1728, sett at Stonington, Ct.; in 1733, m. Mary, da. Hon. John Cushing, of'Scit., Oct 18, 1733, and has deset's. in Ct. 5. Edward, Jan. 4, 1712-13, grad. H.. C. 1783, ord. at Middletown, Ct., 1737 ; was for some years Tutor at Yale Coll., where 3 of his sons grad., who sett in Ct. The fa. d. in 1776. Concerning him, we find the following note, in the Stat. Acct. of Mid'x., Ct.: “In 1738, the Rev. Ed. Eells, s. of the Rev. Nath'l. Eells, of Scit., Mass. was ord. in the Upper Houses.
