Emic categories are those used by members of a culture to designate their world. Etic categories are those imposed from the outside by those who are not part of the culture being described, therefore they may or may not, and often will not correspond to emic categories. As there was no settled nomenclature for room names in the seventeenth century, in order to analyse the inventories the emic names were grouped together under etic categories. 2. The percentages are derived from the total value of the household goods in the probate inventory. In some instances it was not possible to calculate these as therewas insufficient data in the inventory to define the rooms. These probates have been removed from the original list of sixty which indicated rooms of some kind, leaving thirty-eight of which we can be confident. For comparative purposes these were divided into two groups: 1633-1669 (18) and 1670-1685 (20). The inventories of the following decedents were omitted: Pryor 1639, Hicks 1649, Brewster 1651, Gilbert 1657, Carpenter 1658, Mayo 1661, Browne 1662, Pecke 1664, Howland 1670, Tayler 1673, Browne 1674, Cooke 1675, Winslow 1676, Chettenden 1676, Walley 1678, Newman 1678, Baker 1678, Pratt 1682, Cudworth 1682, Brook 1682, Rickard, Gyles 1685. 3. Additional household goods are those not attributable to a room, and often include wearing apparel. 4. The "Leantoo" and "Leantoo goeing into the seller" were combined at 8%. 5. The meale house and wash house were omitted from the analysis as their location was inconclusive - it could have been outside or inside the house. 6. Rooms are all indicated in the margin of the inventory. The original appears to have been damaged, and some marginal entries are illegible, but one outbuilding is clear, a Slaughter house. 7. A middle room is mentioned, following the entry for the cellar. Its contents are listed as "It: 4 table napkins a table cloth and a towell 6s; Item a quire of paper 6d; Item 11 cheeses 10s". The next entries are attributed in the margin to "the Chamber over the outer Rome". 8. Their names appear under the inventory, but the context is somewhat ambiguous.

He was deputy in 1639, the first year any were chosen to General Court; also in 1642, 1643, 1644, 1647, 1649. On jury, 1640, 1641,1650,1652. In 1646 he was appointed on a committee composed of one from each town, "to consider of a way for defraying the charges of the magistrates' table by way of excise upon wine and other things." In 1641 he received "a grant of forty acres with six others, lying together in some convenient place for their great charges attending courts, laying out of lands and other occasions for the town." In 1645 and 1649 he was chosen to "order town affairs." In 1647, for building the meeting house he received from the town a deed of what was called "a calves pasture," and which is thus described: Parcel or neck of land, it lying and being bounded by the Great River from the land of Richard Williams inhabitant of Taunton heading it, the said neck, at the upper corner thereof and the land of George Hall, inhabitant of Taunton, heading it at the lower corner thereof or near unto it, etc. This parcel or neck of land with its appurtionances. In his will, dated March 13, 1652, proved February 10, 1653-54, he names wife Mary, children Henry, Mary, wife of William Hodges, Sarah, Abigail, and grandson John Hodges. He calls himself "senior and yeoman," giving to daughter Mary Hodges, wife of William Hodges, dwelling-house near his own his own and after her to his grandson, John Hodges; to his daughters, Sarah and Abigail, one hundred and thirty pounds, in the hands of John Parker, shoemaker of Boston; to his son Henry his house. To the minister of the town and to Elizabeth Harvey, one of the poor of the church, he gives something. James Wyat and Walter Deane were overseers; William Parker, James Wyat, John Gallop, witnesses. Inventory taken February 10, 1653, by Walter Deane, James Wyat, William Parker, Richard Willaims. Amount, 330 pounds, 16 shillings. In the will of the widow, February 14, 1654-55, the son is said to be forty-three years old and Sarah is called "little." The son Henry was killed by the Indians in 1676. His home-lot was bounded "by the lands of John Strong on the north, of James Wyatt on the south, faced by the Great River on the east end and six acres more or less; also six acres on the further side of the Great river lying opposite and facing the home lot above said, bounded on the north side by the land of John Strong and on the south side by the land of John Smith now deceased." This was in the easterly part of the town. He had other lands. The daughter Mary, widow of William Hodges, married the second time, "soon after Apr. 2, 1654," Peter Pitts. |
