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.

Samuel Reynolds
The "Inventory" of his estate was taken by Thomas Kimball and two others, Dec. 3, 1745, and is still to be seen among the old papers of Ensign Enos Reynolds [64]: " Amounting, whole, in bills of ye last Tenor, £222 17s» 3d." Among the items specified are "About 80 acres of land with buildings thereon, £160."
"One pare of oxen £9." 'Thirteen barriels of cyder, with bariels £3." " Waring apareal £5 Is. 6d.," and various " Utensiels for husbandry." He d. and was buried in Bradford. The writer was so happy as to discover his grave, in the old Bradford cemetery, in 1871! The rich satisfaction was also afforded of resetting the prostrated gravestones and remarking their inscriptions, which read, upon the headstone, " Here lies buried the body of Sergt. Samuel Runels who died the 27th of October, 1745, aged 61st years"; on the footstone, ''Samuel Runels." Date of death corresponds with that upon the Town Records ; but a mistake of " 5 " for " 7 " was undoubtedly made in the age, as well as in the manner of expressing it. He must have been more than 61 years old, as appears from the birth of his oldest son, and the age of his second son's wife, buried at his side. Calling it '71 years," the year of his birth, not otherwise ascertained, is reasonably fixed at 1674, This synchronizes with his supposed arrival from Nova Scotia in 1690. We also learn, only from the above inscription, that he bore the military title of "Sergeant." His widow d. Oct. 11, 1753, in Bradford (Town Records). Their children were all b. in Bradford except the second.

GENEALOGICAL MEMOIR of SAMUEL RUNELS, OF BRADFORD, MASS., 1703? 1748.
This immediate Nova-Scotian origin of Samuel seems also confirmed by an allusion in his will. The term "Eastern parts" would not then have been applied to the " District of Maine," as that was a part of Massachusetts. No place east of Essex County would naturally be meant, which was itself farther west than Arcadia or the present provinces of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. His grandfather, too, either as owner or occupant, had evidently
gained for him a right to those lands. It is, therefore, reasonable to infer that this " grandfather Runels" may have been among those Scotch settlers who came to Nova Scotia with La Tour, a French Protestant, in 1628. They landed at Port Royal (now Annapolis), and built the so-called ** Scotch Fort" on the east side of the Basin- (Granville) 5 the remains of which were visible as late as 1829.
When Sir William Phips of Massachusetts captured Port Royal, May 20, 1690, the English dismantled, but did not garrison, the fort; and we are told by Haliburton (Hist, of Nova Scotia, Vol. I, p. 72), that " In this defenceless state the unfortunate
Arcadians in the neighborhood were attacked by two piratical vessels, the crews of which set fire to a number of houses, slaughtered their cattle, hanged some of the inhabitants, and deliberately
burned one family, whom they had shut up in their dwelling-house to prevent their escape."
FIRST GENERATION.
1. Samuel^ was b., as supposed, about the year 1674, near Port Royal, N. S. ; m. Abigail Middleton, probably of Haverhill, Mass.,
1700-2. The old Haverhill record has " Samuell Renolls and Abigail Middeltine." But this orthography is of no authority in opposition to the earlier and more numerous citations of the name on the Bradford Records, both christian names and the wife's original surnayne being also incorrect. All their children, except the second, are given on the Bradford Records as "sons and daughters of Samuel and Abigail Runels." It is inferred either that she was at her father's home in Haverhill at the birth of her second child, or that they lived first in Bradford, afterwards in Haverhill, and then in Bradford again, where they were finally settled, as proved by the following abstract of Deed and Will from the Essex Records in Salem, Mass.
