the next war he built several small houses
inside the fortification for the use of those who
took refuge there, and his house was con-
stantly open to whomsoever would avail him-
self of its protection. At different times armed
troops were (|uartered there, while with truly
patriotic spirit he always stood ready to min-
ister to the wants of all .settlers who had been
driven from their homes by peril or suffering.
Mr. Wheelwright had not yet built his garrison
house, .so that at three periods this was the
frontier garrison of the jirovince. Lieutenant
Storer was in every way active in the common
defense, encouraging the settlers to hol<i their
lands and fre(|uently giving up his own land
near the fort for cultivation and pasturage by
the refugees. The sick and wounded were
cared for under his own hospitable roof by
members of his household, and for all this ser-
vice he neither asked nor received any remun-
eration whatever. He was an officer in the
service, but his voluntary acts were far more
creditable than any war record, and it is said
that to him more tlian to any other person was
the province indebted for its preservation from
entire desolation, for without his garrison house
and the ample protection afforded by it the
Indians would have either killed or driven
every settler from the region. Joseph Storer
was one of the founders of the church at York,
hence his name does not appear among the
founders of the church at Wells, although he
became a deacon there and so continued to the
end of his days. He is regarded as the pro-
genitor of the Storer family of Wells and its
vicinity. He possessed large means, and at the
time of his death was considered the richest
man in the town : his estate was appraised at
about $5,000. He married Hannah, daughter
of Roger and Sarah (Cross) Hill, of Saco,
Maine: children: i. Hannah, born May 6,
1680: married Joshua Littlefield. 2. Sarah,

aged mother at her home, but when they reach-

Henry (iauden, master, June 20. 1628, and
arrived at Naumkeag. I^eptembcr ^, 1628, with
a hundred |)lanters that came to form a colony
under bis leadership. Johnson in his "Wonder-
working Providence" says: "A fit instrument
to begin this wilderness worke, of courage bold,
undaunted yet sociable and of a cheerful spirit,
loving and austere, applying himselfe to either
as occasion served." He i)lanted the first per-
manent and legally recognized settlement in
Massachusetts, and was known as the Massa-
chusetts Bay Colony. He found the remnants
of the Cape .Ann colony at Naumkeag (Salem)
under Conant, who in one sense was the first
governor of the tiny colony founded by the
Dorchester Comi)any at Ca])e .Ann, and re-
moved to Naumkeag, a virtual failure. Endi-
cott's company bought all the property and
privileges of the Dorchester Com])any, both at
Cape -Ann and Naumkeag, and he removed the
frame house from Cape -Ann for his own use.
Endicott was governor over this colony until
he was succeeded by Mr. John Winthrop, who
was chosen governor of the company and also
of the Plantation in June. 1630. Endicott took
the oath of office as assistant SeiJtember 7,
1630. and was again elected governor March
26, 1649, serving as governor seventeen years
in all. He was a magistrate and one of the
most influential and able statesmen of the col-
ony, in public office thirty-seven years. He
was also captain of the militia. He was a
zealous Puritan and a ])ronounced Republican
in sentiment. He was well educated and always
a friend of learning as well as of religion. Like
most of his associates in the colony, he was
intolerant. He was a member of the Salem
cluirch until November, 1664, though he lived
nine years in Boston, having removed there in
1655. In 1658 he bought a (piarter interest in
Block Island. His place of burial is unknown.
