They went out into an unknown country, following the Indian trail, and lighted on an uncouth wilderness, full of timber, and adjoining the farm Mr. Cradock's servants had planted. He became a settler in the peninsula we know as Charlestown the next year with Governor Winthrop's company and was a man of note in the town.
