CHILD.
Deacon EPHRAIM CHILD came to America in 1630; was adm. freeman May 18,
1631, and was probably one of the first Deacons of the church at Watertown. He
was Rep. 12 years, between 1646 and 1662, inclusive; Selectman 15 years, be
ween 1636 and 1662, inclusive; and Town Clerk 1651,1660,1661, and 1662. He re-
peatedly received important appointments from the General Court. (See Butler,
p.17, and Worcester Magazine, II. 131,142, and 149.) He was often appointed,
by the County Court, one of the Commissioners of Watertown, "to end small causes."
He d. Feb.13, 1662-3, aged 70, s. p. His Will, dated Nov.10, 1662, mentions
Richard and John Child [who were brothers), and Ephraim, son of Benjamin
Child, of Roxbury. It is probable that Richard, John, of Watertown, and Benjamin of Rox.,
were his nephews. (Ephraim Child, a son of Benjamin, to whom he bequeathed
30 acres of dividend land, and 10 acres in Dorchester Field, was slain by Indians
at Northfield, Sept. 4,1675, and his brother Benjamin, Jr., of Rox., sold the 30 Acres
dividend land to Benjamin Peirce, of Wat.; Mar. 2, 1682-3.] He bequeathed "to
my loving cousin, William Bond," 40 acres in the hither plain, whom, in con-
unction with his wile. ELIZABETH, he appointed executor. His widow Elizabeth,
in her Will, dated June11, proved Oct. 1, 1667, appointed her "loving cousin,
William Bond," her sole executor. Ephraim Child, m., in Nayland, Suffolk Co.,
Eng., Feb. 8, 1625, wid. ELIZABETH PALMER. It is supposed that she was a daughter
of Jonas and Rose Bond of Bury St. Edmund's, where she was baptized Mar.12, 1599,
and an aunt of William Bond, "her loving cousin." (See Bond, p.47.) Dea. E.
Child executed a deed, Mar.15, 1647, in favour of Elizabeth Foot, of London, of
whomWilliam Goddard, of Watertown, was Att'y in 1665. The appraisal of his homestall
and the amount of hs inventory (£770.15.) show that he was one of the most
affluent of the first settlers. And the distribution of his widow's wardlrobe and
furniture, by her Will, shows that she had some of the elegancies, as well as the
comforts of life.
