General Notes for Child Benjamin Beach
The BEACH FAMILY MAGAZINE, Vol. II, No. 2, p. 141, give s h i s year of death as 1828, but this is obviously in error given the dates of b i r th of the youngest children.
General Notes for Child Ruth Beach
She reportedly had nine children.
General Notes for Child Elizabeth Beach
She reportedly had thirteen children. The couple moved f r o m New Jersey to one of the western states.
General Notes for Child Job Allen Beach
An account of this man and his family appears in John Car r o ll Power, HISTORY OF THE EARLY SETTLERS OF SANGAMON COUNTY, ILLINOIS, Edw i n A . Wilson & Co., 1876, pp. 102-104. This gives his date of death as 11-Ap r - 1849. He moved to Butler County, Ohio, in 1817, and the following year sett l e d in Dearborn County, Indiana. He relocated to Sangamon County in th e f a ll of 1835 and settled in what became Gardner Township.

General Notes (Husband)
I quote the entry on Peter Bulkeley from the "New Ce n t u r y Cyclopedia ofNames."
"Bulkeley, Peter. b at Odell, Bedfordshire, England J a n . 3 1 , 1582 or 1583;d at Concord, Mass., March 9, 168 9 . Am eric a n Puritan clergyman, notable as the founde r o f the t ow n o f Concord, Mass. He received (1608) hi s M.A . degre e a t St . John's College, Cambridge. His dif ferenc es wit h th e rulin g ecclesiasts of the Church of E nglan d cause d him t o emigra te (c1634) to Massachusett s where , afte r a brief s tay at Ca mbridge, he founded th e town o f Conco rd and becam e its firs t minister. He wa s prominen t in th e New Englan d theocracy."
Reverend Peter Bulkeley, was the co-founder and first c o - m i nister of Concord, Massachusetts but this is nearl y t h e e n d of the story. We must first see the history o f th i s rem ar kable man that culminated in his resisdenc e in C on cord.
Long before the Puritans established a Bible Commonwe a l t h i n the New World, the Bulkeleys were a locally not ab l e f amil y in England. Members of that comfortable cla s s kn ow n as th e gentry, they abandoned their ancestra l ho me i n Ch eshire C ounty in the mid-sixteenth century , acqu irin g th e manor o f Odell in Bedfordshire. At Mich aelmas , 1555 , Edw ard Bulkel ey, the eldest son of the fa mily ma tricula ted a t St. John' s College,Cambridge; by 1 572 he l ead retu rned t o Odell an d was inducted as recto r of th e local chu rch . A year late r he married Olive Ir by, daug hter of a we alth y Lincoln fami ly of gentry, an d on Janua ry 31, 1582 s he bo re him a son, P eter, who wa s to transp lant the famil y to t he New World.
The Reverend Edward Bulkeley was a conforming Puritan , n o t e d for his piety, Which he instilled in his son. P ete r B ul ke ley was born at Odell on January 31, 1582/3 . In t he l as t ye ar of the sixteenth century, at the ag e of 16 , lik e hi s fat her before him, Peter Bulkeley fol lowed hi s fath er' s footst eps, enrolling at St. John's . The Colle ge lea d a P uritan he ritage; masters such a s Dr. John Sti ll ha d been a ppointed t o "root-out Purita nism," but th e piou s heritag e of predeces sors such as t he Pilkingto n brother s was stil l strong. Bulk eley arriv ed at St. Joh n's slight ly too lat e to know the gr eat Pu ritan master , William Whi taker, bu t he was a properl y d iligent stude nt. Contempora ries judge d that "his educat i on was answer able unto his o riginal; i t was learned, i t wa s genteel , and which was th e top of al l, it was ver y pious. " Bulk eley took his B.A . in 1605 an d the M.A. i n 1608, th e sam e year he was orda ined deacon a nd priest . In 1609 th e ne w clergyman was ind ucted as cano n of Li tchfield, an d i n 1610 served as Unive rsity Preacher.
Odell Peter and his father before him, successively, s e r v e d the Church of All Saints in Odell, Bedfordshire f r o m 15 7 1 to1635. The parish Church of All Saints in Ode l l i s a l ar ge edifice, remarkably so considering the si z e o f the vi lla ge. It was built in the 14th century o n th e si te of a n earl ier church (records of its clerg y dat e bac k to 1220) . Unusu al for an English parish chu rch, i t wa s constructe d all i n one period from a singl e design (Perp endicular sty le) wit h no later additions . The roo d scree n and a few pew s are co ntemporary wit h the origin al churc h, and some frag ments o f the mediev al glass rema in. It i s high, light, air y with e ight cle restory window s above a nd thirteen other s in the ai sle s and chancel. T hough th e present pulpit wa s installe d i n 1654.
The year 1609 was the year that age and ill health fo r c e d P eter's father, Edward, into retirement, and Pete r s uc ce ede d him as rector of All Saints Church, Odell . He w a s ins titu ted at Odell on January 12, 1609/10, An d on M a y 9 he w as "c ompounded", that is, he paid to th e bisho p o ne year' s salar y, the accepted practice, fo r securin g a n appointme nt.
These years were only prelude. In January, 1610, when B u l k e ley replaced his aging father as rector of the chu r c h i n Od ell, his life seemed to beset. In 1613 he add e d t o th e fami ly estate by marrying Jane Allen from Ess ex . Pe ter h ad move d into the Odell vicarage, with his a gin g par ents u pon hi s appointment to Odell, and had beg an t o cons ider ma rriage . In his journeying back and for th t o Cambri dge he p assed t hrough Bedford and a paris h on it s east si de calle d Golding ton. There evidently h e met Ja ne Allen , "a most v ertuous ge ntlewoman, " whos e nephew w as the Lo rd Mayor o f London, Si r Thomas Allen . Jane wa s the daught er of Thoma s Allen and M ary Faircl ough. Sh e and Peter wer e married a t St. Mary's Ch urch , Goldingto n, on April 12 , 1613. Pete r was already 3 0 a nd Jane 25.
Jane was to live only thirteen more years, and in tha t p e r i od gave birth to ten children! There were eight b oy s a n d tw o girls, but it appears that only six boys su rvi ve d ch ildho od. The first born was Edward, baptized o n Ju n e 12, 1 614, a nd named for his grandfather, still l ivin g . Then cam e Mar y (she died in her first year), Tho mas , Na thaniel (di ed a t age 10),John, Mary again (die d at t wo-an d-a-half), J oseph , Benjamin, Daniel, and Jab ez (die d whe n 22 three yea rs old ). Jabez was baptized D ecembe r 10,162 6, just after h is moth er had died, probab ly a s a result o f complication s with hi s birth. Peter w rot e in the paris h record of buri als on Dec ember 8, 162 6: " Mrs. Jane Bulke ly, wife to Mr. P eter Bulkel y, Recto r."
Nathaniel and Jabez died in 1629. Thus by 1630, whe n P e t e r was 47, he had lost his parents, his wife, an d fo u r o f hi s children. The parsonage family now compri sed o nl y th e fat her and six sons: Edward, Thomas, John , Josep h , Benja min, a nd Daniel.
And into their lives a new revolution was sweeping.
The Puritans For nearly a hundred years - from earl y i n E l i zabeth's reign from approximately 1570, until t he r esto ra ti on of the monarchy with the crowning of Cha rle s II i n 16 6 0 - earnest Christian men and women of Br itai n attem pte d t o apply the new Reformation ideas of E urop e to th e Engl is h situation. In essence, they hope d to pu rify th e Churc h o f England, but before it was ov er man y resorte d to atta ckin g it or leaving it all toge ther. T hey were t he "Purita ns, " the word coined as an e pithet o f contemp t in the 1560 's.
Although their beliefs and strategies varied, as di d t h e i r distance from the established church, there wa s a c on st an t theme: They were absolutely serious abou t thei r rel igi ou s and moral lives. They lived by stric t self-d iscipl in e an d closely regulated habits. They we re intens ely zea lou s t o order everything - personal an d public, s even da y s a wee k - according to their interp retation o f God's de ma nds. I n a day when the practice o f religio n was more fo rma l tha n personal, more cultura l than inte ntional, the y mean t busi ness.
With Calvin, they believed that God had elected the m t o s a l vation, and for each of them this belief was ro ot e d i n a vi vid experience of conversion. They believe d th a t nat ural hu mankind was a beautiful abomination, a nd na tu re wa s totall y depraved. There was no possibilit y of g row ing i n grace; r ebirth through God's decisive s aving a ct w as th e only way t o faith.
This stern faith was rooted in the Bible. Scriptur e w a s t h e Puritans'sole source of authority. And the Go d o f t he B ib le called them, they believed, to a continu al w arfa re ag ain st sin - their own sin and their neighb ors' . Conv ersio n wa s not enough, but must be expresse d by " a charac ter ma rke d by an intense sense of persona l respo nsibilit y to Go d an d his moral law, which expres ses itse lf in a s trenuou s lif e of self-examination an d self deni al."
Men and women of such passionate conviction were dissat i s f i ed with the middle-of-the-road Church of England, h a l f Ca th olic and half Reformed, as established by Eliza be t h an d he r bishops. It was far too Roman for them. Wi t h th e Bib le a s their guide, they set out to revitaliz e t he wo rshi p of th e church. They believed that "the se rmo n was t he on ly mean s of bringing saving knowledge, a nd t hat th e preach er shoul d speak as a dying man to dyi ng me n" The y preferre d the uni nhibited movement of th e Holy S pirit i n the servi ce to th e prescribed prayer s of the ch urch. Th eir preacher s were hi ghly trained, z ealous, bu t lived sim ply, even asc etically , and preache d in "a pla in, easy, an d familiar kin d of spee ch." Al l of which wa s in dramati c contrast to th e formal po mp , ceremony, bla tant displa y of wealth and ric h life styl e s of the Churc h of Englan d and especially th e Roman Ca tholi c Church.
The "purity" for which these reformers yearned was n o t j u s t their own but that of the whole church: "They d is co v e r a sense of mission to complete that tremendou s pro ce s s wh ich God had begun with the Reformation - th e libe rat io n o f his church from centuries of superstiti on an d erro r . The y throw themselves into the crusade wi th al l the in te nse ar dor of which the elect are capable ." Ye t in thei r st rateg y they were uncertain and ofte n divide d. Sometim es co mplain ing members of the establi shment, s ometimes sh outin g separa tists, the Puritans we re ever i n motion, an d eve r uneasy wi th their own "croo ked haltin g betwixt tw o relig ions."
They were particularly scandalized by the wealth an d p o w e r of the church. Clearly, they proclaimed, the of fi c e o f bi shop must be abolished. It wasn't scriptural . I t s mell ed o f the Pope and Rome. It had been too ofte n co rrup ted . And i t bound the church too closely to th e crow n.
Little by little it became clearer to the Puritans: t h e c h u rch must be separated from the state. The Christi a n mu s t b e free to criticize the monarch. As this posit io n gai ne d gr ound after the turn of the century, and fo un d vote s i n parl iament, the Puritan movement turned qu ick ly fro m a l argel y religious one to a political one a s we ll. I t was th is mov ement to separate church from st ate t hat, w hen broug ht to t he New World by Bulkeley an d othe r Purita ns, culmin ated i n the American Constituti on guar antee o f the separat ion o f church and state. Thi s revolu tionar y idea found th e prope r breeding ground i n the set tlement s of New England , the fu ture home of th e forefath ers of t he American Revol ution, th e Declarati on of Indep endence a nd the U.S. Consti tution.
With Elizabeth's death in 1603 and the crowning of J a m e s I , the Puritan hopes were elevated, but then dashe d . T he ir " Millenary Petition" of reforms was presente d t o Jam e s at th e Hampton Court Conference in 1604and h e fl atly r ej ected it . '"The following year he supporte d th e hierarc h y in anothe r drive to flush out the remai ns o f oppositio n. .. As hundre ds of Puritan preachers fe ll in to line, oth er s were deprive d of office or suspend ed." T he troubles a cce lerated with th e accession of Cha rle s I in 1625. Weak , obs tinate, preoccup ied with his d ivin e right, he was so on a t odds with the Par liament, t he pu blic, and the Purit ans . In1629 he dissolve d Parlia ment a nd began a decade o f sel f-rule.
And in 1633 William Laud, chancellor of Oxford univer s i t y , was promoted to the archbishopric, initiating sev e n y ea r s of tyrannical suppression of innovations in wo rs hi p an d b elief. With strong Roman leanings he enforce d a n o rde r of s ervice, emphasized the Communion table r athe r th an t he pulp it, and insisted on the use of the P raye r Book . H e sought t o extend the influence of the ch urc h more an d mo re deeply i n the affairs of state.
The Puritans of the early 17th century were not organ i z e d , but they were in touch with one another, especial l y t he i r clergy. "By the turn of the century... certai n p reac he r s in the church were joined together in a loo sel y stru ctu re d association, a 'spiritual brotherhood ' of l ike-min de d men ." They maintained a lively discour se an d upheld o n e anothe r in adversity. The tenets of t he mov ement wer e ta king shap e; its energy, if anything , was gr owing. A s press ures inten sified these brother s knew the y must act . And on e propose d course of actio n - daring , preposterou s, almos t unthinkab le - was fo r each to gat her up a few o f the fai thful and sa il to t he land of th e Massachusetts.
Members of John Robinson's separatist congregation in H o l l a nd had already taken this course in 1620, and wer e ba re l y s urviving. As early as 1622English nonconformi sts w er e b egin ning to conceive of "New England as a pla ce whe r e a sa vin g remnant of the Lord's people could ta ke refu ge . "Thro ug h the 1620's interest rose. By the 16 30's ne w pu rges an d ne w pressures for conformity unde r Archbish op La ud, an d the f ear of persecution, turne d this New En glan d dream t o realit y. Before the decad e was out some n inet y of the sp iritual b rotherhood woul d cross the Atlan tic t o preach, so me just br iefly, in t he new land. And t hey to ok thousand s with them . By 1640 , when the Civil Wa r in Br itain cut em igration t o a tri ckle, the populatio n of th e Massachusett s Bay Colon y ha d reached almost 13 , 000.
These colonists came with many motives, many dream s . B u t a t the core of their leadership were the Puritan s , "t h e grea t grim earnest men who solemnized the hey d a y of t he ir stre ngth by planting New England" as Emers o n would s ay . And amo ng them was Peter Bulkeley.
A quiet marriage and escape Like his father, Pete r w a s a m o derate Puritan. As Cotton Mather later put it , " I t was n o t long that he continued in conformity to t he c er emonie s o f the Church of England; but the good Bi sho p o f Lincol n con nived [winked] at his non-conformit y (a s h e did at hi s fath er's), and he lived an unmolest ed no n-co nformist unt il he h ad been three apprenticeshi ps o f year s in his minis try. Tow ards the latter end o f thi s time hi s ministry ha d a notabl e success, in th e conver sion of ma ny unto God."
Like many other Puritans, Bulkeley suddenly found h i s l i f e taking a new turn in the 1620's. Royal prerogat iv e ca s t i ts shadow over Parliament and, most ominousl y Wi llia m L au d gained authority in the church. In lin e wit h his P urit a n beliefs, Bulkeley had never worn th e surpl ice or u sed t h e sign of the cross in baptism, "a ccountin g them ce remoni es , superstitions and dissentane ous to th e holy wor d of Go d. " Non-essentials to Bulkele y, these w ere essenti als to L au d who was translated t o the See o f Canterbury i n 1633. J aco bus continues: "Th is of cours e meant that unl ess he adm itte d his error an d showed a w illingness to yie ld to the o pinio ns of hi s ecclesiasti c superiors, soone r or later h e woul d los e his encumbenc y [appointment at O dell] ... [Hi s] ca s e was allowed to d rag, and it is possi ble that he se cu red d elays through t he influence of som e of his highl y p laced co nnections. " Events reached a cri sis for Bulk eley i n1634 th e year a fter Laud's enthronemen t when h e was suspe nded fro m hi s pulpit for nonattendanc e at th e visitation o f the Arc h bishop's VicarGeneral, Si r Nath aniel Brent. With , from h i s point of view, true rel igio n in old England o n the de clin e, Bulkeley began to tu r n his thoughts toward s New E ngland.
By early 1635 Bulkeley had decided to tear his family ' s r o o ts from English soil and put his considerable tal en t s t o us e in the New World. Edward was the first to l eav e , sen t ahe ad to prepare accommodations in the Bay C olon y . Edwar d, the n only 20 years old, embarked quietl y in 1 63 4.On Mar ch 22 , 1635, he became a member of th e First C hur ch in Bos ton, a nd he was made a freeman (th at is, a f ul l and respon sible c itizen) on May 6.
The Bulkeley lands were sold, and the family prepar e d t o d e part. The unlikely pioneer soon learned that h i s migr ati o n would require new ways of doing things. Li k e many o f N e w England's first generation, his life bec am e an inco ngru ou s blend of old habits existing besid e new -learned m ethod s . Lacking a license to emigrate, t he pas tor was for ced t o e ngage in a bit of cat-and-mous e decep tion.
Since non-conformist ministers were not allowed to le a v e E n gland, Peter needed to take special pains to arra n g e hi s fa mily's departure. Though the shipping agent s we r e gla d enou gh for the business and were willing t o over lo ok th e law, g overnment spies were watching th e ports . O n Apri l 13,1635 , the name of "Jo: Backley" ag ed 15 wa s en tered o n the lis t for sailing on the "Susa n & Ellen, " an d five da ys later " Ben: Buckley" aged11 a nd "Daniel l Buck ley" age d 9 were adde d. Thus John, Benj amin and Da niel we re entere d, perhaps a s the servants o f Puritan fr iends.
In the midst of these clandestine arrangements, Peter r e m a r ried. After the death of his wife, Jane, in 1626 Pe t e r re ma ined unmarried for almost a decade until he m a d e a parti cul arly happy match with Grace Chetwode. Li k e Jo hn Winthro p' s Margaret, Grace Chetwode shared he r hu sband 's religiou s i nterest, and in his old age Pete r Bul kele y broke throug h hi s customary formality to spe ak o f "my p recious wife wh ose u nfeigned piety and singu lar g race o f God shining in h er, do th deserve more tha n I ca n do fo r her."
Grace Chetwood, born about 1602, was the daughter o f S i r R i chard Chetwood, whose family held the manor i n Odel l . Pet e r was twenty years her senior, and she fac ed th e pr ospec t s of the impending escape, voyage, and s ettlem ent i n an u nk nown wilderness on the other side o f the At lantic . In th e m iddle of April they were quietl y wed, an d on Ma y 8 "Gra ce B ulkley" aged 33 was liste d as a passe nger o n the "Eliz abet h &Ann," and the nex t day "Peter Bu lkley " aged 50 wa s adde d to the "Susan & Ellen" list wit h the t hree boys. A t the ti me of embarka tion (May 9 or s hortly t hereafter) Gr ace proba bly switc hed places wit h a female p assenger liste d for th e "Susa n & Ellen," an d the family o f five sailed t ogether . Thi s leaves Thoma s and Joseph, ag es 18 and 19, un account e d for. They ma y have gone earlie r with Edward, o r perh aps u nder disgui sed names, they wer e on the "Susa n & El len" wit h the oth ers.
During the trans-Atlantic sailing to North America Mr s . P e t er (Grace) Bulkeley was gravely ill and pronounc e d dea d b u t Peter insisted that she not be buried at se a . Thre e da y s later Mrs. Bulkeley showed signs of vital it y retur ning . S he subsequently recovered and survive d th e trip. H er so n Ge rshom was born soon after her arr iva l in New Eng land . All t hose people who are descende d fro m her (whic h inclu des al l the Collins') can than k the st ubbornness o f Pete r Bulkele y for their existenc e.
In any case, it appears that by mid-summer the fami l y h a d a rrived in Boston, but went almost immediatel y t o Camb ri dg e where Edward had rented a house for them . Bu lkele y wa s we lcomed as a valuable addition to the n ew co lony ; othe r Puri tan leaders recognized his powerfu l inte llect , and w ere imp ressed by the monetary sacrifi ce hi s decisi on to le ave Engl and had entailed. Cotton M athe r noted th e comfor t of Bulkel ey's former life, "whi ch on e would ima gine temp tations enou gh to keep him ou t o f a wilderness, " and Edwar d Johnson app roved of th e cour se by which "ric hes and hono rs Bulkeley la ys asid e to pl ease his Christ , for whom he d oth war." To b egi n his ne w life, Bulkele y brought about 6 000 in capita l f rom hi s liquidated estat e as well as a num ber of ser vants , inc luding Thomas Dane , a skilled carpente r who l ater bui l t Peter's home in Con cord, as well as, Pet er' s corn mil l an d saw mill on Mil l Brook in Concord.
Concord
The Bulkeley family was not alone in this adventure . O t h e r Puritans from Bedfordshire accompanied them, gl adl y f ol lo wing Peter's leadership. And, no doubt, the q uest io n o f whe re to make their settlement must have bee n o f to p pri orit y that summer of 1635.
Probably Bulkeley never intended to remain permanen t l y i n C ambridge; by1635 the Bay's settled towns were a lr ea dy t he i ntellectual fiefs of the great preachers wh o h a d com e befor e Bulkeley, and the family was to estab li s h a tradi tion o f preferring to shine on the frontie r ra th er than li ve in t he shadow of others in settled a reas . Ma ny in the c olony we re preparing to forsake th e secur ity o f the seacoa st and g o "up into the wilderne ss." Pas tor Th omas Hooker h ad alread y led most of his C ambridg e congreg ation to ferti le Connect icut fields, an d Bulkel ey, whethe r by prior arra ngement o r after the c ompany ha d arrived i n Massachusetts , was soo n in contac t with Sim on Willard , a thirty-year-ol d soldier , fur tr ader, and s urveyor fro m Kent, who had sco uted the i nter ior seekin g an inland po st. Willard was part icularly i m pressed wit h the area wher e the two branches o f the Mu sketa quid me t to flow northwa rd to the Merrimack , a reg ion wher e gla cial action had cr eated rolling hills , mea dows, and ma n y ponds. What appear ed to be a desirabl e i nland site, w a s previously an India n settlement call e d Musketaquid. P rio r to the great plagu e earlier in th e ce ntury it had b ee n a major village of t he Massachuse tts tri be. It had t he ri ght ingredients: "ex tensive mea dows, bord ering o n a river , with nearby uplan d plains. " But it was " awa y up in the wo ods," and bounde d on al l sides by India n l ands. Getting the re and survivi ng th ere would be a chal l enge.
Bulkeley indicated an interest in the prospective settl e m e n t "The uniform custom of the early settlers of th e Ma ss ac hu setts colony was first to obtain liberty of t he go ver nme n t to commence a new settlement, and afterwa rds t o acq ui r e a full title to the soil by purchase o f the In dians . " O n September 2, Bulkeley, Willard, an d "about tw elve o th er f amilies" took the first step b y obtaining fr om th e Gen era l Court at its session at Ne w-Town (Cambrid ge) a n Act o f In corporation: "It is orde red that there s hall b e a plan tatio n at Musketaquid, an d that there shal l be si x miles o f lan d square belongin g to it."
The new settlement, named Concord, took more definit e s h a p e when the fall ships brought more settlers. On O cto b e r 2 t he "Defense," "a very rottenand unfit" vessel , ar ri ve d carr ying a cargo of ministers, including th e Rever en d Jo hn Jone s, also a silenced minister of th e Church o f E nglan dand a C ambridge man, arrived in Bost on with set tler s boun d for th e newplantation. Jones ag reed to joi n Bulk eley a s colleagu e minister in the vent ure. In July , 1636 , the pl an was so f ar advanced that t he Bay's twel fth chu rch was g athered at t he Cambridge m eeting house w ith Joh n Winthro p looking on. T he next sp ring minister s were for mally inst alled, and thos e who i ntended to bec ome settler s were invi ted to sign th e chu rch covenant . Some said i t was Peter B ulkeley that ga v e the name t o this new commu nity After th e discord he h a d experience d the last decad e or so, "Conco rd" was a f ittin g hope.
Within a few weeks the company of new Concordians s e t o u t o n the arduous trip into the back country unde r th e le ad ersh ip of Bulkeley, Willard, and Jones. Edwar d Joh nso n ha s reco rded the difficulties of settling th e Bay' s fir st in land to wn in an archaic prose that seem s to so ften t he rig or of th e trip into a "desart Wilder nesse. " It stra ins th e imaginat ion to envision the one- time fe llow of St . John' s and comfo rtable incumbent o f Odell pa rish and hi s follow ers "traveli ng through unk nown woods , and throug h watery s wamps... some times pass ing throug h the thicket s where thei r hands are fo rced t o make wa y for their body 's passage an d their feet cl am bering ove r the crossed tre es, which whe n they missed th e y sunk in to an uncertain bo ttom in wate r and wade up t o th e knee s tumbling sometime s higher and s ometimes low er. Wear ie d with this toile, th ey at end of th is meet w ith a scorc h ing plaine, yet not s o plaine, but th at th e the ragge d bush es scratch their le gs fouly, even t o w earing thei r stocking s to their bare s kin in two or th r ee hours.. . [and some] h ave had the blo od trickle dow n a t every st ep... and this no t to be endur ed for one d ay, bu t for ma ny. After they hav e thus foun d out a plac e of aboa d, the y burrow themselves i n the ear th for the ir first she lte r under some hillside, ca sting t he eart h aloft upon tim b ers, they make a smoky fir e again st th e earth at the hig h est side. And thus these poo re se rva nts of Christ provi d e shelter for themselves, thei r wi v es and little ones , kee ping off the short showers fr o m t heir lodgings, bu t the lo ng raines penetrate throug h t o t heir great distu rbance i n the night season."
The first order of business was erecting shelters, hu t s w e r e built on the south side of the ridge by diggin g i nt o t h e bank, driving posts into the, ground, and pl acin g o n th e n a covering of bark, brush-wood, or earth . Th e foll owin g y ear proper houses were built as far aw ay a s wher e the n ort h and south bridges over the Concor d Riv er no w stand.
It was perhaps in 1636 or even later that the formal pu r c h a se of the lands from the Indians took place. The r e i s a t ra dition that the sale took place under "Jethr o' s Oa k," su bse quently used as a belfry on which the to w n bel l was hun g. Y ears later an Indian testified tha t "H e wa s present a t a ba rgain made at the house of Mr . Pete r Bul keley... bet ween Mr . Simon Willard, Mr. Joh n Jones , Mr. S pencer, and s everal o thers, in behalfe o f the Eng lishmen. .. and Squaw S achem, Ta hattawan, and N inrod Indi ans, whic h said Indian s (accordin g to their p articular r ights an d interest) the n sold a trac t of lan d containin g six mile s square (the sa id house bein g acc ounted abou t the centre ) to the said Eng lish [for] a p a rcell of Wam pumpeage [wam pum], hatchets, ho es, knives, c ot ton cloth , and shirts.. . And in the conclus ion, the s aid In dian s declared themse lves satisfied, and t old th e English t h ey were welcome. " This and other deposit ion s suggest th a t Peter Bulkeley' s house was at the cent e r of Concord . Late r other lands w ere granted (includin g 30 0 acres t o Peter to ward Cambridg e), so that Concor d came t o cove r parts of wha t are now t he towns of Bedf ord, Acton , Lin coln, and Carlisl e.
It is probable that the Reverends Bulkeley and Jones ga t h e r ed the first services in the wilderness. Meanwhil e th e y m ad e arrangements for the chartering of the ne w congr eg atio n . This was accomplished the next summer , on Jul y 5 , 1636 , w hen the church officials gathered i n Cambrid ge . Concord 's w as thus the thirteenth "congreg ational" c hur ch organiz ed i n the colony, one of about t wenty found ed i n the 1630' s. Un fortunately the church r ecords for t he fi rst hundre d year s have been lost, so o ur informatio n is s ketchy.
We do know from other sources that the two pastors we r e o r d ained the following April. The earliest churche s so ug h t t o appoint two elders to a single congregatio n - o n e a s teac her and one as pastor - though, of neces sity , th es e office s were often merged in one man. Minis ter s suc h a s Bulkele y and Jones, who had been ordaine d in E nglan d b y a bishop , were regarded as having vali d ordina tion f or t he new chur ches in America. But, as t hey wer e install ed i n a New Engla nd church, they were a sked t o humble the mselv es, acknowledg e their sins, an d repent . Thus, on Apr il 6 , 1637,the Concor d church kep t a "da y of humiliation " fo r the ordination o f Peter Bu lkeley a s teacher. It wa s hel d in Cambridge, mor e acces sible t o the delegates fro m othe r churches than far- of f Concord . However, the gover nor an d several church dign i taries b oycotted the ceremon y on th e grounds that Bulk ele y and J ones were regarded a s emphasi zing too much th e rol e of g ood works as oppose d to salvati on by God's e lection a lon e. The Puritans ha d not left thei r theologi cal bickeri n g behind in England.

General Notes for Child Edward Bulkeley
Edward Bulkeley, oldest son of Rev. Peter Bulkeley a n d J a n e Allen wasborn on June 12,1614 in Odell, Bedford sh ire , E ng land. Edward had attendedSt. Catherines Colle g e bu t di d no t graduate, having elected to leave OldEng la nd. T he de cisio n to immigrate to the Colonies of Ne w Eng land w as nod oubt p rompted by the action taken by t he rul ing chu rch o f Englan d incondemming his father a s a non-c onformis t. Edw ard was t o preceed hisfather i n leaving En gland an d arrive d in Bosto n, Massachusett s on March22, 1 635 wher e he was a dmitted a f reeman. Alt hough arriving i n America first, hi s father wil l be cons idered as the fir st of th e family toe stablish thei r nam e in the Colonies.
After arriving at Boston, Edward was admitted on M a y 6 , 1 6 35, into thePlymouth jurisdiction. In 1643 he w a s ord ain e d as a minister. He was mademinister at Marsh fi eld i n 16 4 4 where he remained until 1658. Like hisfat her , Edwa rd w a s a minister of the gospel , and the foll owin g yea r hesuc ce eded his father at Concord. His fathe r, Re v Pete r Bulkel e y had alsobeen a Pastor of this chu rch. A t the t ime of h i s death, Edward was thepastor o f the chu rch in C oncord.
Early New England records show that Rev. Edward Buke l e y w a s marriedabout 1638, probably in Boston, Massachu se tt s , t o a woman whose givenname was Lucian (Lucy An n ) . I t i s bel ieved that she may have been adaughter o f Ric har d Co y who h ad died the previous year in Lincoln shire, Engl and . To thei r union was born three children . Some re feren ce i ndicatetha t a fourth child was born t o Edward a nd Luc ian.
Rev. Edward Bulkeley died at Chelmsford, Mass Jan 2, 1 6 9 4 / 95 while on avisit to see his son Peter who was a r es id e n t of this town. Although hedied in Chelmsford, Ed wa r d w a s a resident of Concord. Shortly after hisdeat h a s er mo n wa s preached in his honor.
[NOTE: It is known that a Richard and Matthew Coy , a g e s 1 3 and 15respectively, came to New England in 16 38 w i t h on e John Whittingham. Theboys were acting as se rvan t s t o Whit tington and Atherton Haugh. Richardand Ma tthe w w er e son's o f Richard Coy and have been mentione d as b roth ers to Lucian.
Other references indicate that Lucian may have had a s i s t e r named MaryCoy who was born in 1612, and wife of J o h n La ke . Marriage records of NewEngland list a Luc y ( Bi sh o p ) mar ried to John Lake in 1654. She is shown as a da ugh te r of Luc ian. If this is true, then Lucian m ust hav e bee nma rried bef ore her marriage to Edward Bulk eley. I t is al so p ossible th atLucy was a sister and no t Lucian' s daught er.
