In 1631, Mathew EWENS, of North Cadbury, in making his will, said, that he
intended "by God's grace to take a long journey." One is at first disposed to
think that what he meant was to go into the next life, but, apparently, this was
not what he meant, but that his intention was to cross the sea. He appears, as I
am informed by a descendant of his, Major Clarence EWEN, of New York, to have
gone to Boston, accompanied by his relatives, Edward EWENS, of Suddon,
Wincanton, and Robert FREKE, of Dorset. Mathew died, and his will was proved in
1633. If he had been buried at North Cadbury, his burial would be found recorded
in the Register of Burials in that church, but apparently it is not found there.
