GOVERNORS OF MASSACHUSETTS.

IT is so convenient for the reader of a history in any way connected with our Commonwealth, to have a list of the Governors at hand, that one is here given. Down to the year 1631, those officers were elected by the Company, in England. From 1631 to 1679, inclusive, they were chosen annually by the people here. After the dissolution of the first Charter, in 1684, affairs were administered by a President. In 1687, Sir Edmund Andros became Governor, under a royal commission. In 1689 he was deposed by the people, who then elected Simon Bradstreet, President, and afterward Governor. The Governors under the second Charter, commencing with Sir William Phipps, in 1692, and ending with Thomas Gage, in 1774, were appointed by the King. With Hancock commenced the line of State Governors.

SURNAMES

OF ALL RESIDENTS OF LYNN, from the time the Plantation began, in 1629, to the year 1700. Most names were spelled in different ways; but in this list it was not thought necessary to follow the almost interminable variations.

REPRESENTATIVES OF LYNN.

Down to 1634 the General Court was composed of the whole body of freemen, and individuals were sometimes fined or censured for not attending to their legislative duties. In May of the year just named the first House of Deputies, or Representatives was formed, as it had begun to be felt that the attendance of all the freemen was a great inconvenience. The following is a list of those sent from Lynn, down to the close of century 1700. The list would be quite extensive if continued to the present time, and would hardly be of sufficient general interest to compensate for the space it would occupy.

ST. MARY'S.
[Roman Catholic.]

Catholic services were held in Lynn, at a private house, as early as 1835. Subsequently, the Town Hall was occupied as a place of worship. In 1855, the wooden building on Ash street, which had been occupied as a Methodist and likewise as a Baptist house of Worship, and later still as a grammar school-house, having been remodeled and enlarged was consecrated to Catholic worship. In 1859 it was burned. Soon afterward, the beautiful brick Gothic church near the eastern end of South Common street, and which is still the finest public building in Lynn, was erected, and made ready for occupation in 1862.

SHOE BUSINESS.
1864.

It is difficult to give, in a short space, a perfect idea of the great shoe trade of Lynn. The shoes now made are of much better quality and consequently higher price than those made a few years since. We include under the general term shoes, such boots as are made here; and by the State returns find that during the year ending June 1, 1855, there were made 9.275.593 pairs, valued at $4.165.529. During the year ending Sept. 1, 1864, it is probable that though there had been a large increase in the business, there were not much, if any, above 10.000.000 pairs made. But the aggregate wholesale value of these reached the large sum of.... $14.000.000.00.
