!S.P. may p.164 Daniel was the last of the line in Chatham. He was plain in feature, and much deformed, owing to an accident in childhood. His mother was driving with friends, when the horse became frightened, the carriage was over- turned, and the person who held him, fell upon him, causing internal injuries. It was for a time supposed that he could not live, and gradually this deformity came upon him. He died three years after his mother, of heart disease; he had driven to Yarmouth on a very cold day, returned much chilled, and died in two days.

Capt. Daniel Sears purchased land in Monomoy, now Chatham, in 1707; was town Clerk, 1714-21, 1725; Selectman, 1719-1730; Ensign, 1722, and later Captain. 1722, "School to be kept at quarter of Ensign Daniel Sears, he to select the school master." His will, dated "20 Jan. 1753, new stile," was proved July 27, 1756, by Daniel Sears, Execr, and mentions Daniel, Rebecca, Sarah, Mercy and Deborah. Paul Sears, JAmes Covel and Wm. Nickerson appraised the estate Sep. 14, 1756. R.Est. L 300, and personal L 70 10 8. In the "Sears Gen'y" it is stated that Daniel Sears married Sarah, dau. of J. Hawes of Yarmouth, and in a manuscript of Hon. David Sears, referred to in the chapter on English Ancestry, see ante, she is called "dau. of Jere. Hawes." The error has been perpetuated on the Sears monuments in Yarmouth, Chatham and Colchester. She was the daughter of Samuel Howes of Yarmouth, gr.-dau. of Joseph Howes, and gt.-gr.-dau. of Thomas Howes. The will of Samuel Howes, dated 1722, recorded in Barns. Prob. Rec., IV, 90, names daughters Sarah Sears, and gives her 20s with what she already had; Hope Sears and Mercy Sears (who had married respectively, Daniel and Richard Sears, brothers,and Josiah Sears, their cousin). On the Yarmouth records the name is clearly written Sarah Howes. The first Sarah Hawes in Yarmouth, was the dau.of Dea. Joseph H., and born Apr., 1696, therefore but thirteen years of age in 1709, when Daniel Sears married. The first Jeremiah Hawes was born in 1711. The old family mansion was taken down in 1863, having after the death of Madame Richard Sears been occupied by divers families, and allowed to become dilapidated. It was originally, perhaps,a one story, or one and a half story building with gambril roof, and added to until it occupied much ground. In a letter from J. Hawes to Daniel Sears of Chatham, printed in the "Sears Gen'y," reference is made to its "partial destruction by fire in 1763," at which time the ever to be lamented loss if the family papers, is said to have taken place. The old building, when taken down, bore no marks of having ever passed through the fiery ordeal; the original timbers were in place, with the bark still on, nor does "the oldest inhabitant" remember any tradition of such an event. Benjamin Bangs of Harwich, to whose diary I have before referred, makes no allusion to any fire in Chatham at that time, though chronicling more trivial events happening there. An amusing anecdote is related in connection with the old house, and marriage of Deborah Sears in 1741. The ceremony was performed at home, and the guests remained for the evening, as there was to be a dance in honor of the occaison. The long chamber had been cleared, and made ready, and in due time they were "tripping it on the light fantastic toe." The bride, a buxom lass, and not sylph-like in form, enjoyed dancing immensely In the course of the evening her animation became excessive, and while dancing vigorously her foot broke through the floor, causing some confusion, and slight injury. This tradition being remembered by some of the neighbors when the old house was torn down, an examination was made to see if there was any evidence of the disaster, and in confirmation of the story, they found a square of board had been let into the center of the flooring. The gravestones of Daniel Sears and his wife may still be seen in the Chatham burying-ground, laid face down; one of them bears this inscription, "Here lyes ye body of Capt. Daniel Sears, who departed this life, August ye 10 1756, in ye 74th year of his age." !WCS He gave all his real estate to his son Daniel. "All those my lands and rights of land I now have or of right I ought to have within the precinct or Village of Manomoy in the County of barnstable aforesaid, that is to say more particularly all that my farm or tract of land which I lately purchased of Joseph Quason, Indian of Monamoy aforesaid. The said farm being bounded towards the east by the Bay or Salt Water & towards the north by certain boundaries that is to say ptly by the ditch called Indian Nicks ditch so extending westerly over a pond W--- oak tree marked so continuing the same range westerly till it comes to a tall pine tree marked which is the corner boundary of the farm and bounded towards the south by the land lately John Cussens, Indian, as an old fence & dry ditch directs to a pine tree near the house of Joseph Eldridges & is bounded towards the west partly by the Oyster pond & ptly by the lands of particular persons. That is to say all my lands pertaining to said farm & not formerly sold or passed away by the said Joseph Quason before the 12th day of October A.D. 1702 as in & by one instrument or deed of feoffment of the date aforesaid given me under the hand and seal of said Quason may appear at large, reference thereto be had for the westerly bounds of the said farm- and also my two parcels of meadow land. The one called Stump Marsh esteemed at eight acres more or less environed with the upland and meadow of the heirs of Samuel Smith deceased. The other being a small piece of marsh esteemed at one acre more or less bounded westward by a creek southward by a pine tree standing on th eupland which tree is the Northerly bounds of the meadow of the heirs of the said Samuel Smith. Eastward by the upland till it comes to point thereof near ye creek, together also with my one third part of all the common or undivided land within the limits of Monamoy aforesaid, excepting such privileges of herbage or feeding for cattle and firewood as hath been formerly granted to any person or persons in or on the said Commons or undivided land by Mr William Nickerson deceased or by his son William Nickerson, Sarah Covel & her children or myself or any one of us.
