      Deed and Will from the Essex Records in Salem, Mass.

      " Dec. 26, 1710. John Bolnton to Samuel Runels in Bradford, Husbandman, in consideration of £7, part paid and part secured by bill, a certain piece of land lying in the township of Bradford, 20 acres as it is bounded, be it more or less ; bounded on the N. E. corner on a little small red oak marked and on the South side of a frog pond ; and so running on the East side upon land of Thomas West till it come to Boxford line ; and on the South on Boxford line to the stump of an old tree, with stones by it, on Boxford line; and from that stump, on the West side, by land of Richard Kimball, unto a stake and stones on the N. W. corner."

      We have no evidence of real estate as possessed in Massachusetts at an earlier date by a member of this family; implying that though married some eight or ten years previously, this ancestor did not have a " home of his own," in Bradford, till 1710-11. It is evident, too, from this deed, and the price paid, that his original twenty-acre
      lot must have been comparatively wild and less valuable land at the time of purchase. The northern bounds are not given, but its location on Boxford line is made certain. This was afterwards known in Bradford as the "Job Runnels Place," where the ''Job Runnels apples," excellent for their keeping qualities the year round, were found growing. J. Warren Chad wick now owns the same site, near Chadwick*s or Little Pond. The land was transferred from John Runnels [22] to James Buswell, and by the latter to John Chadwick. The old Runnels house was standing as late as 1840.

      Stephen2 (Samuel^), m. Esther Hovey, of Rowley, 1723, and was admitted to full communion with the Congregational Church in Bradford, as "Stephen son of Samuel," "Aug. 8, 1729." He lived in B. and there acquired some property as " a cooper," till "Jan. 14, 1735-6," under which date Zechariah Hardy deeded to him, " for £1 40 a piece of land in Boxford, which was formerly Nathaniel Hardy's." This marks the probable time of his settling in Boxford as a farmer, and about the same time he first appears among the tax-payers of that town. From the Essex Probate
      Records: " Inventory of Stephen Runnels, late of Boxford, yeoman, deceased, intestate, prized, Apr. 12, 1753, and witnessed by Esther Runnels his widow"; who also " rendered account, as administratrix of her husband's estate. Mar. 24, 1755." His estate, however, seems never to have been fully settled till after his son Stephen's death; as "Sept. 3, 1771, a Committee was appointed, by Nathaniel Ropes, Judge of Probate, to divide and set off, both for quantity and quality, one third part of all the real estate of Stephen Runnels unto his widow^ Esther Runnell, now Hovey^ as her right of dower in said real estate, to and for her use and improvement during her natural life." According to the Boxford Records, she had m., 2d, Luke Hovey, of Boxford, " published Mar 16, 1755," thus regaining her maiden name.

      He did not come in possession of a part of his father's house in Bradford, as by terms of the will, his own death preceding that of his mother by some months, " Mar. 10, 1753," aged 50. (Boxford Town Records. )
