~ HAPGOOD ~ The Hapgoods were in Marl. before the close of the 17th century, and have been somewhat numerous in town. This family can be easily traced to the first emigrant.
1 Shadrach HAPGOOD, aged 14 years, embarked at Gravesend, Eng., May :10, 1656, in the Speedwell, Robert Locke, master, and settled in Sudbury, where lie m. Oct. 21, 1664, Elizabeth Treadway. Immedi-
ately before the breaking out of Philip's war in 1675, the Indians near Quaboag, now Brookfield, manifested a disposition to treat with the English, and Capt. Hutchinson, of Boston, and Capt. Wheeler, of Concord, with a small party of men, among whom was Shadrach Hapgood, were sent to treat with them. Three of the Sachems promised an interview on the 2d of August, 1675, at the head of Wickaboag Pond. The English repaired to the spot, agreeably to the appointment, but the Indians were not there. On proceeding further, the Indians, who had treacherously ambushed their path, fired upon them, killing or mortally wounding eight of their number. Hapgood, then of Sudbury, was among the slain.1 - 2 Nathaniel, b. Oct. 21, 1665 ; m. Sept. 6, 1695, Elizabeth Ward, of Marl., and settled in Stow.
