[I have no doubt that we have here the family of our Austin or Augustine KILHAM who went to New England in the Ship "Mary Ann of Yarmouth" William GOOSE master, in the spring of 1637 (see Drake's "Founders of New England", page 49), company with sundry others from Norwich, Yarmouth, and parts of Suffolk. I myself examined the list of passangers some years ago, and made out a trifle more than Mr. DRAKE seems to have done. It reads as follows(ie to my eyes):
May 11^th 1637, the examination of Augsten CALL. . . . Alles his wife ageed 40 years. . . . . . . . desirous to goe to New Eng. . . . . . . . . .

I have occasionally seen the name written Callum in our records at Salem

In the Assembly Book (1585 -1613), (in the Guild Hall their), I found (on Fol. 36) amoung those admited to freedom to the city 30 January 30 Elizabeth, Augustine KYLHAM, Pynner, non apprenticius. This man must have been an earlier generatiion than our Augustin KYLHAM.
