Pioneers of ME and NH: ENDLE, ENDELL, Richard, Smuttinose Island, Isles of Shoals, partner of Stephen Ford in ownership of stage room in 1660. Michael, fisherman, of the Isles of Shoals, son in law of John Baly, had deed of land in 1662; may have been a connection of Richard. FORD, Stephen, Smuttinose Island, Isles of Shoals, was badly frost-bitten in a storm at sea about 1/1651, and lost parts of his hands and arms, etc. in consequence. His neighbors raised 46 li. for his support; and the county court gave more and arranged for his maintenance. In company with Richard Endle he sued one who had trespassed on their stageroom in 1660.
