Beulah Wing, (Daniel, Rev. John, Matthew)
Beulah Wing was born November 16, 1658 in Sandwich, Plymouth Colony, the
daughter of Daniel Wing Hannah Swift. Hannah died after March 3, 1714/15
in Rochester, Plymouth Co., Massachusetts.
Beulah Wing married Aaron Barlow probably in Sandwich, Plymouth Colony
on August 11, 1684. Aaron was born in Sandwich, Plymouth Colony to George
Barlow and Mary Stetson in 1645. Aaron died February 4, 1714/15 in Rochester,
Plymouth Co., Massachusetts.
Aaron Barlow was one of a group of fourteen who drew home-lots at Sippican
on July 22, 1679, when that area was set aside for settlement. Sippican,
Mattapoisett, Agawam and Acushena were areas whose names were derived from
Indian villages and which were eventually incorporated as the town of Rochester
on June 4, 1686 . Aaron Barlow moved from Sandwich in 1684 and was one of
the original incorporators of Rochester.
Aaron Barlow and Joseph Burge were appointed to set up a gristmill on
twenty acres which had been laid out on the banks of the Sippican River in
1683. The mill was to have "such Capacitie as She may grind the corne
of the Inhabitants for twentie years." Aaron Barlow declined the commission
and the work fell to Joseph Burge alone .
In 1689 Rochester sent Joseph Burge as its first representative to the
General Court of Plymouth. He was succeeded in 1690 and 1691 by Aaron Barlow.
In 1692, a new Province Charter united the Plymouth Colony with the Massachusetts
Bay Colony, and the Plymouth General Court held its final session in July
of that year, but the Rochester representative, Aaron Barlow, was not
present.
Aaron Barlow, along with Samuel Hammond, Samuel White and John Wing, all
of Rochester, took the Freeman's Oath on October 15, 1689. On June 3, 1690,
at the General Court of Election that was held at Plymouth, Aaron Barlow
of Rochester was chosen Deputy. He was also a selectman of Rochester in
1690.
Aaron Barlow made his will in Rochester, Plymouth Co., Massachusetts on

Shubel, his son Nathan and his daughter, Elizabeth, wife of "Mark Ginnens"
(Mark Jenny), his other daughter, Mary, wife of Jeremiah Griffith and his
