"BARSTOW. This family, whose name sometimes appears in early records as BAIRSTO, and BERESTO, is of English origin; and from the West Riding of Yorkshire, where the name still occurs... William BARSTOW, aged twenty-three, and George BARSTOW, aged twenty-one, embarked at London, September 20, 1635, for New England in the 'Freelove,' John GIBBS, master. William BARSTOW was of Dedham, 1636, and signed the petition for the incorporation of that town under the name of Contentment... He was a freeman in Scituate, 1659, and the first settler of whom there is any record of the present territory of Hanover. The outlines of the cellar of the house William BARSTOW, carpenter or shipwright, were yet visible some years ago... Across the North River, in October, 1656, William BARSTOW Sr. was authorized to build a bridge... In 1657 Mr BARSTOW was 'allowed by the Court to draw and sell wine, beer and strong waters for passengers that come and goe over the bridge he hath lately made'... He had been previously licensed to keep an ordinary; so that it appears probably that near the bridge he had a small building as a kind of toll house, and here refreshments were kept... William BARSTOW died in Scituate in 1668, aged fifty-six. He left no will and his widow administered on his estate. Mr. BARSTOW was a noted man in his day, as appears from what has been said of him. He was an extensive landholder, a man of high respected ability, and a worthy and enterprising citizen."
