- According to Cutter, "Walter Briggs, the the immigrant ancestor, was in Scituate as early as 1643, when his name appears on the list of those able to bear arms. In 1651, he bought a farm of Mr. Hatherly on the north side of Farm Necknad the cover there still bears the name of Brigg's Harbor. . . . His will wad dated in 1684."
According to Deane, he "appears in Scituate 1651, when he purchased a farm of Mr. Hatherly, on the north side of Farm Neck. The cove within the glades still bears the name of Briggs Harbour. He was long a useful man on the plantation." His will is dated 1684.
Windsor doubts that he lived in Duxbury; more likely, he says, Walter lived in Scituate.
