Excerpt from Robert Vose and His Times Robert Vose was born in Lancashire, England, about 1599. He was a resident there in 1650, though the statement has many times appeared that he came to America in 1635 with Richard Mather. The first appearance of his name in New England was in 1654, when he purchased from the heirs of "the worshipful Mr. John Glover" of Boston, "for the sum of three hundred and fowre score pounds sterl," over 500 acres of land in that part of Dorchester called Unquatiquisset or Unquity, which, in 1662, was incorporated in the town of Milton. The obligation was dated 13 July, 1654. He was at that time a "gentleman of Dorchester," so had been in New England long enough to establish a residence, but the exact time of his arrival is unknown. He was the youngest son of Thomas Vose of Lancashire; apparently a man of ability and influence, and belonged to the period which witnessed the struggles of the Reformation. The Puritanism of Lancashire was confined largely to the southern part. A group of Puritans had sprung up in and about Toxteth Park near Liverpool, and Richard Mather, when only a boy, taught their children. Mather was won over to Puritanism and in preparation for the ministry entered Brasenose college, Oxford, but before he completed his course his friends induced him to become their minister at Toxteth chapel. As this ancient chapel was considered in some respects private property and was not only retained by nonconforming ministers after the passing of the Act of Uniformity, but was licensed under the Act of Toleration as a preaching place for dissenters, Richard Mather, at first, was not much troubled for his nonconformity. But he was not the sort of man to confine his ministry to a village congregation and was a frequent preacher in many of the neighboring churches and chapels: for this he was finally so "scolded," and threatened with fine and imprisonment if he did not desist, that in 1635 he sailed for New England and settled in Dorchester. As schoolmaster and minister in England, Richard Mather officiated in the parishes of which the Voses were residents, and is found a witness to the will of Edward Vose, an uncle of Robert Vose. Thomas Vose, Robert's father, appears as a donor for the maintenance of a preaching minister in two Lancashire parishes and for a free school at Much Woolton. The duty of a preaching minister was not only to solemnize the parochial services but to itinerate in the neighborhood and preach in its several churches and chapels, the doctrines of the Reformation. "It was not until after the outbreak of the great Civil war in the summer of 1642, and until the consequent plundering and raiding by the armies on either side that the attention of the House of Commons was called to the cases of Puritan ministers disturbed or ejected by the Royalist army in various parts of the country." "The first mention of the subject 'of relief of the ministers that are plundered' is contained in an order of the Commons of 27 Dec. 1642, appointing a collection on their behalf in all the parishes in and about London. Four days later a committee was appointed to consider of the fittest way for the relief of such good and well affected ministers as have been plundered, and likewise to consider what malignant persons have benefices here in and about this town, whose livings being sequestered, these may supply the cure and receive the profits."
