To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Honorable George Sheldon, in our well-thumbed bible of local history, says: — "A family tradition places Godfrey Nims here, as third settler before 1671. " "Real estate here was sold to such men only as were approved by Dedham. " He "bought home lot No. 35, in 1674, but I do not find him living here until the Permanent Settlement. " In "True Stories of New England Captives" Miss C. Alice Baker says: — "The third settler, Godfrey Nims, came from Northampton to Deerfield m 1670, living there ...'in a sort of house where he had dug a hole or cellar in the side hill, ' south of Colonel Wilson's. At the allotment of the homesteads in 1671, he built a house, on what lot is not known. " Mr. Sheldon says that in 1704 Thank- ful Nims and her husband were living on this Wilson lot "in a sort of side-hill cave, w^hich was so covered with snow as to escape the observation of the enemy" and that the Nims houses burned in 1694 and 1704 each stood "on the site of the present Nims house. " Of the time earlier than these dates we find another tra- dition, pointing back to France, and a colonial public record not inconsistent with the tradition: David Nims, junior, told his grandson, the late Brigham Nims of Roxbury, that he had been told by David, senior, a grandson of Godfrey, that God- frey Nims was a Huguenot, came to America as a mere lad and at first spelled his name Godefroi de Nismes, but changed the spelling to suit the colonial way of pronouncing it.
