• Notes

  Richard Mellen, the immigrant ancestor, was one of the early settlers ofCharlestown, Massachu setts. He was admitted a freeman September 7, 1639,and had doubtless been in the colony for s everal years before that. Heremoved to Weymouth in 1642 or 1643, and probably did not live lo ngafterward. Savage calls attention to the difficulty of tracing the namebecause of the grea t variety of spelling found in the records. It isfound spelled Mellins, Mullins, Mallins, Mel ling, Melen, and even Meles.He had a land grant in Weymouth in 1642 and 1644 on the back sid e ofKingoak Hill, but removed from there or died soon after, as his name doesnot appear agai n on the records. Some of his children were: James, bornin Charlestown, June 3, 1642; Sarah , born April 4, 1643, at Weymouth;Mary, married at Charlestown, 1662, Daniel Whittemore. Simo n, perhapsborn in England.
