Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catalogue of the John Boyd Thacher Collection of Incunabula His youngest son, the Rev. Peter Thacher, born in Salem, Mass, July 18, 1651, was graduated from Harvard College in 1671 and completed his theological studies in London in 1676. From the seal which his father used on his letters to the son in England was taken the coat of arms which is now held by his descendants. Peter Thacher's will dated February 12, 1721, now in the Suffolk registry, Boston, is also sealed with the family arms. In 1681 Peter Thacher was ordained pastor over the church in Milton. He had been living in Barnstable, Mass, and on the day of his departure for his new home he was escorted by a caval cade of 57 horsemen as far as Sandwich.
