1676.

THE DEPOSITION OF SAMUEL HAINES, now aged sixty-five years or thereabouts.  This deponent testifieth and saith:  "The I lived with MR. John Cogswell, Sen., in Old England about three years, a servant with him, and came over along with him to New England in the ship called the 'Angel Gabriel', and was present with him when my Master Cogswell suffered shipwreck at Pemaqued, which was about forty years age the last August when the ship was cast away.  I, the said Haines, do remember that there were saved of my master's goods a good quantity of good houehold goods, both feather beds & bedding, and also a good quantity of brass and pewter, and also several pieces of plate;  and to the best of my remembrance of this brass, there were several brass pans.  Furthermore, I do remember that my master had a Turkey worked carpet in Old England, which he commonly used to lay upon his parlour table, and this carpet was put abard among my master's goods, and came safe ashore, to the best of my remembrance:  all which goods, together with some provisions which were saved then, good-man Gallup brought to Ipswich in his bark for my master, except some of them which the vessel could not hold;  and I, the said deponent, came along with him in the vessel from Pemaquek, and lived with my Master Cogswell at Ipswich the same year following; and, also, I do remember that my master had two mares and two cows, which were shipped aboard a ship at South Hampton in Old England, and came safe ashore to New England that same summer as we came here, and were delivered to my master.  I do further testify that about four years after that I lived with my master in Ipswich;  that I went to Old England, and when I returned again, which was about a year and a half after, I brought over for the use of my Master Cogswell between four score and one hundred pounds' worth of goods in several particulars, which were delivered to him;  and, furthermore, I do very well remember that my Master Cogsell had 3 sons which came over along with us in the aforesaid ship.  The eldest son's name was William, who was about fourteen years of age then;  and the 2nd son was called John, who was about twelve years of age then;  and the third son's name was Edward, who was about six years of age at that time;  and further saith not."

"Samuel Haines, Sen., came and made oath to all the above written, the first day of December, 1676.
Before me,
Richard Martyn, Comm."
