SOURCE: From HOAR entry in Pioneers of Mass. ================================ "John Hoare, the first in our line in this country, first settled in Scituata, Mass., in 1643, and bore arms the same year. He was a lawyer, and noted "for his bold, independent mind and action." He had a farm on the west of litttle Masquashart Pond. While here he appears to have been engaged in the business of the town, drafting deeds, bonds, &c. "We have not the date of his taking the freeman's oath. This oath was first printed at Cambridge, Mass., in 1639. Before a person could exercise the right of suffrage, or hold public office, he must be made freeman by the general or quarterly court. He must be a member of some Congregational Church. Afterwards modified in 1664 (Oath in New Eng. His). He removed to Concord, Mass., in 1660, and our ancestors remained there until about 1790. He continued the practice of the law, except at one time he was prohibited from practicing, except his own cases, for not attending church, and speaking slightingly of one of the ministers. He took great interest in the welfare of the Indians, and built a house on his place for the Christian Indians. They at the time of King Philip's war were under his care by order of the general court. "Capt. Samuel Mosely with 103 men took these Christian Indians (the Nashobahs) away from Mr. Hoare's place, insulted Mr. Hoare and plundered the poor, helpless Indians of all they had, and sent them, 58 in number, (12 only able-bodied men) to Boston under guard of some 20 rough and brutal soldiers. Afterwards they were sent to Deer Island. The captain went on his way unrebuked, although the whole court were indignant. "Feb. 10, 1676, Mrs. Mary Rowlandson and child, both wounded, wife of the minister at Lancester, Mass., were taken prisoners at that place. Efforts were made to secure her release, but without success, until Mr. Hoare by the desire of her husband made the attempt. Under date of April 28, 1676, he left Lancester with two guides, Nepphonet and Peter Tatatiquinea and met the hostile Indians at Wachusett Lake (now in Princeton, Mass.) May 2, 1676. He took £20 and some goods and secured her release, although King Philip refused his consent. They returned to Lancester and she went to Boston May 7th. It is said no other person in the colony could have secured her release." SOURCE: Alfred Hoar Family ========================= "John Hoar, son of Charles Hoar, was born in England. He was a lawyer, distinguished for his courage and independence. He lived at Scituate, Massachusetts, from 1643 to 1655. and settled about 1660 at Concord, Massachusetts, where his descendants have been prominent to the present time. Senator George F. Hoar and Judge E. Rockwood Hoar were decended through John Hoar's son Daniel (III), Daniel (IV), John (V), Samuel (VI), Samuel (VII). John Hoar represented the colonial authorities in securing by ransom the release of Mrs. Rowlandson from the Indians. He married Alice Lisle, sister of Bridget Lisle, who married Leonard Hoar, his brother. She was a daughter of John Lord Lisle, president of the high court of justice, lord commissioner of the great seal, who drew the indictment and sentence of King Charles I. and was murdered at Lausanne. August 11, 1664, and of his wife, Lady Alicia Lisle, who was beheaded by the brutal judgment of Jeffries in 1685. Lady Alicia was nearly akin by marriage to Lord William Russell. The story of her arrest on a charge of treason for sheltering rebels, her condemnation to be burned alive and her execution by beheading, with all the cruel, ghastly details, forms a disgraceful page in English history. Children of John and Alice Hoar; Elizabeth, married Jonathan Prescott; Mary, married Benjamin Graves; Daniel, mentioned below. " SOURCE: New England Families G&M ================================= "John Hoar, son of the first family who located in New England by this name, was a lawyer, distinguished for bold, manly independence. He resided in Scituate, Massachusetts, from 1643 to 1655. It was about 1660 when he settled in Concord and died April 2, 1704. His wife Alice died June 5, 1697. Their children included Elizabeth, who in December, 1675, married Jonathan Prescott; Mary, married Benjamin Graves, October 21, 1668; and Daniel, who married (first) Mary Stratton, (second) Mary Lee. The Hoar family were among the early bay colonists and some true conception of their character may be had by referring to a matter of New England history, wherein it is recorded that after the Indian massacre at Lancaster at the time of King Philip's war, John Hoar, at the request of the colonial authorities, followed the Indian band far into the wilderness, and after great hardship and the exercise of great ingenuity, recovered by ransom Mrs. Rowlandson, a lady captive from Lancaster. Her account of her ransom is published. The rock where she was redeemed is situated in (???), close by the base of Wachusett Mountain, and has been marked by the senator with a suitable inscription."

He was a lawyer, and noted "for his bold, independent mind and action." He had a farm on the west of Little Masquashart Pond. While here he appears to have been engaged in the business of the town, drafting deeds, bonds, etc. ...

He was at Scituate, in Plymouth Colony in 1643, moved to Concord, Mass., 1659, and was the means of rescuing Mrs. Rowlandson from her captivity among the Indians in 1676. "Children were: 1.
