Frederick Freeman, The History of Cape Cod, vol. 2 (1862)

"Annals of Sandwich," quoting the Sandwich town records (whales, the mill, the King Philip's War garrison, the 1705 Mashpee line, Fessenden's 1730 list of heads of families). Also prints Rev. Benjamin Fessenden's c. 1722 account of Edmund Freeman and the Quakers (2:56-57n), and Gideon Hawley's 1794 recollection of Thomas Tupper (2:70n).

For Wellfleet: Elisha Holbrook's contract of 1765 "to provide all the bricks, lime and other materials, to underpin and pave round the house, for £16," when the meeting house was enlarged with a porch and steeple (2:662); and a note on the Holbrooks at the North Precinct (2:678n).

Further Sandwich entries used for the Freeman-Ellis families: the whale agreement of 13 Sept 1653 with Chadwell, Dexter and Lt. John Ellis (£16 a whale, a third each in oil, corn and cattle); the mill and "the account of Lt. Ellis for drum, muskets &c. purchased" (c. 1655-57); the meetinghouse accounts, "Pd. Benj. Nye and Thos. Tobey, for the frame, £12"; the 1644 pledges of corn to Thomas Tupper "for as many bolts as would shingle the old meeting-house"; the town meeting of 28 Feb 1675/6 "called ... by Lt. John Ellis and Benj. Hammond the constable" and the watch "beyond Lt. John Ellis' land"; the agents of the "South-sea Indians of Mashbe" in 1705 (Caleb Popmit, Acapesko, Old John, Sunkation and Caleb Pognit); and the list of Quaker sufferings at Sandwich, Edward Perry's £89 18s the largest (2:61-62).

For King Philip's War (research/king-philips-war/), read also in the scan https://archive.org/details/historyofcapecodfree_0 (vol. 2). Freeman quotes the Sandwich and Yarmouth town records and Mather's church record:

• Sandwich: "Thos. Tupper, Hy. Dillingham, Stephen Skiff, and Joshua Borgis be of the Council of War from this time" (1675, 2:68); Lt. John Ellis, Thos. Tobey Sr. and Stephen Skiff "be empowered as agents to hire for the town as many men as shall be necessary" (1676, 2:70); Sandwich to pay Barnstable £73.16 "to balance the account of charges that have arisen by the late wars," out of "the great rate of £279.1" (2:71); 30 June 1677, "Rd. Bourne, Thos. Tupper, and Stephen Skiff were app. 'to take account of what ought justly to be satisfied for in reference to the war that hath already been'" (2:71), the younger Thomas, the elder having died on 28 Mar 1676, "æ. upwards of 98 yrs." (2:71 n.), a man "giving much of his time 'to the work of gospelizing the Indians'" (2:71 n.).
• Yarmouth (2:193-195): the town's expeditions, "Third Expedition, one month's service: Capt. Thomas Howes, Sergt. Sam. Hall, ..."; "Fourth Expedition, nine men, with Capt.: Hy. Gold, Jno. Taylor, Wm. Gage, Hy. Gage, Wm. Nickerson, James Maker, ..."; "Fifth Expedition: Capt. Howes and 21 men"; "Horses lost: Mr. Thornton, Benj. Ryder, Jona. Smith, Paul Sears, Jno. Crowell, Mr. Mayo, ..." (2:193 n.); the war rate made 29 Apr 1676 by "Messrs. Edmund Hawes, Samuel Rider, and James Matthews, 'towards the charge of the late war,'" with "Jerh. Howes, 7.14," "Mrs. Prence, 1. 3. 4," "Mr. Mayo, 2. 4. 3" and "Nathl. Bassett, 2. 9. 6" (2:194-195; the columns are jumbled in the full text); "Mr. Thomas Howes d. in Nov. [1676]" (2:194 n.).
• Rev. John Mayo, from Increase Mather's record of the Second Church: "The — day of May 1676, he departed this life at Yarmouth" (2:358-359).
• Capt. John Freeman's letter to Gov. Winslow, "Taunton, 3 d., 4 mo., 1675. This morning three of our men are slain close by one of our courts of guard, (two of them, Samuel Atkins and John Knowles, of Eastham); houses are burned in our sight; our men are picked off at every bush. ... Eastham has, I think, not twenty good arms in it" (2:366-367 n.); the date as printed falls before the war began [?]. John Walker, grandson of Nicholas Snow, "killed by Indians 1676" (2:367 n.).
• The Mashpee bounds of 1705, with Matthias Ellis among the agents for Sandwich (2:85-86).

"Annals of Wellfleet": in 1776 the town petitioned the General Court that its harbor, "convenient enough for small vessels in carrying on the whale fishery, was the only advantage of the location, and this pursuit in which hitherto had been employed 2000 tons of shipping, and by which nine-tenths of the inhabitants obtained their living," was cut off by British men-of-war in Cape Cod Harbor, and the oyster fishery, "by which the other tenth obtained a livelihood," lost with it (2:669).
