Marsh

In 1635 Reverend Peter Hobart brought about 20 families from Hingham, Norfolk, England to America in search of religious freedom. They settled in Charlestown, Massachusetts, but then moved about 14 miles southwest of Boston and founded a place they called Hingham after their old home. In this group was George Marsh, wife Elizabeth Key and four children: Thomas, Elizabeth, Onesiphorus and Mary. They cast lots in 1635 for town lots. "Given unto George Marsh for a house lot, 5 acres of land, bounded with the land of Richard Osborn eastward, and with the highway leading to Squirrel Hill westward, butting upon the common northward and unto the Town Street southward." George Marsh was made a freeman of Hingham on 3 March 1636. He lived there until his death on 2 July 1647.
