Captain Morgan, as he soon began to be called, came over in the same ship with Prudence Gilbert. In fact, there is a tradition to the effect that it was on her account that he embarked. It is said that he first saw the fair Prudence while he was wandering about the wharves at Bristol, and that he decided at short notice to sail with the ship on which she was going, that he did not even have time to send word to his parents. Her people settled in Beverly, now a suburb of Boston. As soon as Captain Morgan had received his allotment of land in Springfield he started back to Boston on foot with an Indian guide to claim his bride. After the wedding the return trip was made, also on foot, but, in addition to .the bridal pair and the Indian, a horse, bought in Beverly, was brought along, which like the Indian was loaded down with the household goods of the newly married couple. The two burden-bearers walked in front while Captain Morgan, matchlock in hand, followed with his bride.
