The original will of Mrs. AVilloughby, sent out from England, was identi- fi.jd by her sou Francis, -23 : (12): 1GG2, at Charlestown, and fded 2:2: 1GG3. A seal, attached to the signature, bears a chevron engrailed between three boars' heads.
('oncerning the son Francis Willonghby, much of interest may be found in Frothingham's History of Charlestown. Coming to New-England as we have stated, in 1638, with his wife Mary and infimt son Jonathan, he was admitted an inhabitant Aug. 22, and joined t
...he church during the following year (Oct. 10), from which time forward, till his death, he "was almost constantly engaged in the public service," and is always respectfully alluded to in the colonial records. He was a prominent merchant and did much for t!ie improvement of the town. From a petition of 1C41 we learn that he and others had invested a great part of their estates in " building ware- houses and framing wharves," to facilitate the landing of goods, " not only from about home, but from further parts," praying that the Court would '' appoint a certain rate of wharfage, porterage, and housing of goods." His wharves were on each side of the Ferry-ways, where he owned considerable property, and his ship-yard on the site of the Fitchburg railroad depot (or in "Warren Avenue), where in 16-41 he was engaged in building a- ship, to encourage which enterprise, the town gave him liberty " to take timber from the common," and without " being bound to cut up the tops of the trees." He was a selectman 1640-47; representative 1649-50; assistant 1650 and '51,t and set out, during the latter year, for England, doubtless to arrange the estate of Ills late father.
