[Vide page 124.] THE following is received through the courtesy of Mr. Charles Ammi Cutter, of the Boston Athenæum. Bernard and Thomas Lombard, or Lombart, men of Kent, probably of Mr. Lothrop's Society of Tenterden, Kent County, England, about fifty miles from London, as one of the family returned to Tenterden, were in Scituate, 1633; made freemen 1635, in Barnstable, with Mr. Lothrop's people, who went there in 1640. Brother Thomas Lombard kept the public house there, and was a very prominent member of the church, and noted for his piety. He was probably the elder brother, because the whole family ate their Thanksgiving dinner at his house. 1. THOMAS LOMBARD, by wife Joyce, married probably in England, had: 2.

WARRANT. Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Middlesex ss. The Hon. Sam'l P. P. Fay, Esqr., Judge of the Court of Probate in and for the County of Middlesex. To James Brown of Watertown, bookseller, and Artemas Locke and Luke Wyman, both of West Cambridge, Yeomen: Whereas Benjamin Cutter, late of Charlestown, in the County of Middlesex, Yeoman, deceased, testate, in and by his last will and testament, gave and devised all his real estate to his wife Anna during her natural life; and in and by said will directed that at her decease, his said real estate should be divided into two equal parts, and that one moiety of said parts should be distributed according to the laws of this Commonwealth among his own heirs at law; and the other moiety should be distributed among the heirs at law of his said wife Anna; and whereas the said Anna is now deceased; and whereas on the petition of Jacob Wyeth, one of the heirs of said Anna, and on the petition of Jonas Cutter, one of the heirs of said Benjamin, due notice having been given on said petitions to all persons interested, it was decreed at a court of Probate holden at Cambridge in and for said County, on the fifteenth day of November A.D. 1842, that the real estate of the said Benj. Cutter should be divided into two equal parts, and that the respective parts should be divided among the heirs at law of the said Benjamin Cutter and the heirs at law of the said Anna Cutter, agreeably to the terms of said will; You are therefore authorized and empowered, being under oath, First, to appraise all the real estate whereof the said testator died seized in fee in this Commonwealth that remains undisposed of, at the present value thereof; and then sever and divide the same into two equal parts, according to said will; And you will assign and set off to each person interested a Just and equal share in the respective moieties or halves of said real estate according to his share or right therein agreeably to said will, unless two or more of the parties shall consent to hold their shares together and undivided, describing each tract and parcel, composing a share or shares, separately by metes and bounds, first giving due notice to all persons known to be interested in said estates within this Commonwealth, that they may be present, if they see fit, at the making of such partitions and divisions. And if the respective moieties or shares of said real estate cannot be divided without great damage to the owners, or if any messuage, piece of land, or other part of the premises is of greater value than either party's share, and cannot be divided without great inconvenience to the owners, you inay set off and assign the whole or any such part of said real estate, as the case may be, to any one or more of the parties, who will accept thereof, he or they paying to any one or more of the others such sum or sums of money as shall make the partition just and equal; preferring males to females among the children of the respective parties, and elder to younger sons in the assignment of the whole or any part of the premises.
