From the History of Charlestown, New Hampshire, by Rev. Henry H. Saunderson, printed in 1876, Claremont, N.H. and the Willard Genealogy (Willard Memoirs) by Joseph Willard, published in Boston, 1858,pp 338-359 and The Willard Genealogy, aSequel to Willard Memoirs, edited by Charles H. Pope, Boston,1915, pp4-18, I have found that Maj. Simon Willard was married three times. He had a total of 18 children by the first and third wives. First, he married Mary Sharpe in England.who came with him to New England and who was the mother of at least one child. Second, he married Elizabeth Dunster, a sister of Henry Dunster, who was President of Harvard College. She died within a year and he married third, the cousin of Elizabeth, Mary Dunster. He emigrated from the County of Kent, in England and is first mentioned as residing at Newtown, (now Cambridge, MA) in 1634. He was one of the original purchasers of Concord, and removed there as early as 1635. He was elected to several offices and became the chief citizen of that town. In 1654 he was commissioned Major and was commander-in-chief of the forces of Massachusetts in Ninigret and Phillip's wars. He held the offices of Councillor and Governor's assistant from 1654-1676. He was recognized as a brave commander, a wise statesman and trustworthy. In 1915, a priceless document, The Agreement of Concord people in 1653 to pay a yearly contribution to "the college at Cambridge," now Harvard University, was in the possession of Miss Susanna Willard. She was a member of the Publication Committee of the Willard Genealogy, and the daughter of the author of the Willard Memoirs. Major Simon Willard's signature appearson the document, signed August 22,1653, by nine other men. A memorial plaque in his honor, was hung in the Crypt of Canterbury Cathedral, in London, in 1902. He was recognized as a Kentish Soldier and an early pioneer in the settlement ofthe British Colony of New England, America, 1634. He was distinguished in the Mi litary Legislative and Judicial service of the American Commonwealth until his death, at age 72. One of "Simon Willard's ancestors was Provost of Canterbury 1218 and another was Baron of Cinque Ports 1377, and his descendants to the present day have held eminent positions in the United States." He left a large estate. Some of the information in this report on his descendants, Henry, Jonathan andMary (Molly), who married Elijah Grout, Esq. has been taken from the sources listed above.
