The Early History of Watertown, Massachusetts: Including Waltham and Weston.
Genealogies of the Families and Descendants of the Early Settlers of
Watertown,
Massachusetts, Includes Waltham and Weston - by Henry Bond, M.D. Boston,
1860.
Volume II.
Part 12.
p.853
Nov. 21, 1712, John Livermore conveyed this tract of land to his four
daughters, Hannah
Rice, Sarah Fulham, Martha Gleason and Mary Bigelow. (see Part 11 - The
"Cowpen Farm")
Samuel Livermore, baptized at New Haven, CT., Aug 15, 1641, was Selectman of
Watertown,
1684 and 1690. His Will, dated Dec. 5, 1690, proved June 16, 1691,
constitutes wife Anna,
and eldest son Samuel executors; uncle, Jonathan Danforth (youngest brother
of his wife's
mother), Capt. Andrew Beltcher (cousin of his wife and father of Gov.
Belcher), and Simon
Stone, overseers. Inventory of real estate, dated Jan 14, 1690-1; homestall
and 44 acres,
£200; two acres of upland in Pondfield, £6; 20 acres of dividend land £20; 5

Ensign Daniel Livermore (see p. 340) m. Mehitable Norcross.
Sarah, widow Lieut. Samuel Livermore (see p.341) m. (3) April 8, 1722, Hon.
Ebenezer Stone
of Newton. Shed died 1741.
Matthew Livermore grad. Harvard Coll. 1722, "schoolmaster of the town," was
admitted full
communion to the West (Waltham) Church, Feb 18, 1725-6. He had been the
schoolmaster for
most, if not all of the time after his graduation. This shows an error of
dates in the
annals of Portsmouth, as to the time of his settling there. He probably went
to Portsmouth
in 1726, was master of the grammar-school until 1731 when he was admitted
and sworn as an
attorney-at-law. Soon afterward, Gov. Belcher (who was a distant relative)
apptd. him
Attorney-General for the Province, and advocate for the King in Courts of
Admiralty. "He
was serious in his deportment, exemplary in his conduct, and firm in his
belief of the
truths of the Gospel." (see Annals of Portland p.261) It has not been
ascertained that
he ever married.
April 2, 1725, John Robbins of Cambridge was appointed guardian of Abigail,
dau. of Daniel
Livermore of Watertown, in her 18th year. Jonathan Stone was appointed
guardian of Jonas,
son of Daniel Livermore. This was probably that Jonas Livermore, who
married at Newton,
July 3, 1735, Esther Hyde.
David Livermore and Abigail Kimball married at Bradford Feb 21, 1743-4. She
was a neice of
Mary, the wife of Thomas Saltmarsh of Watertown. Dec 24, 1771, Daniel
Livermore of Concord,
New Hampshire, appointed administrator of the estate of the widow Abigail
Livermore of
Watertown - his mother.
Deacon Thomas Livermore (see p. 342) was Selectman of Watertown, before the
incorporation
of Waltham, in 1719, 20, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 28, 32 and 1733. According to
the town record,
Sergt. George Livermore was Selectman in 1730. This is the only place, it is
believed,
where this name occurs and it may be a mistake for Thomas Livermore.
Dec. 10, 1705, administration on estate of Jonathan Livermore granted to
widow Rebecca,
and his brother Daniel. Inventory dated Dec 13, 1705. Dec 23, 1706, widow
Rebecca pre-
