General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

His ancestors are traced to the Domesday Book, compiled by in the daysof William the Conqueror.[Stillwel.FTW]

Richard Lippincott, the ancestor of the Lippincott family in America,
emigrated from Devonshire, England, about 1639 or 1640....Heassociated
with the early settlers of the colony of Massachusetts Bay and was
admitted a Freeman by the General Court of Boston, 13th May, 1640...."
In 1651 he was excommunicated for the First Church of Boston, for
"withdrawing from Communion with the Church". He returned to Englandto
Plymouth in Devonshire, where his 3rd son, Restore was born on 3rdday,
5th month, 1653. He became a Quaker and was imprisoned several times
for this. When Rhode Island colony promised freedom of religion,Richard
moved with his family their, and was there in 1663.
In 1665, Friends were granted a patent to settle in East Jersey, andthe
Lippincotts moved there to Shrewsbury Town. George Fox visited the
Friends Meeting there in 1672. Lippincott arranged with John Fenwickwho
was establishing a Quaker settlement at Salem, NJ for Richard and his
five sons to have land there. He died 25th day 9th month, (Old Style)
1683.
So Richard was first, one of the Massachusetts settlers, later a
settler in Rhode Island, and later still in New Jersey. He certainly
was a "pilgrim" in that he moved from place to place in search of
religious freedom.

In another pamphlet, "The One Hundred & Fiftieth anniversary , Mullica
Hill Meeting, Religious Society of Friends," 1947,is the note:
..."Richard Lippincott, the pioneer, entertained George Fox in 1672.
Richard Lippincott's wife Abigail died in 1697, having freed herslaves before
her death."(page 11).

Richard was born in 1615 in Stonehouse, Devonshire, England. (Today'smap shows Stonehouse as being just below Gloucester, which is not inthe county of Devon, but above it. may have changed, however). Richardarrived in this country from England on May 13, 1639-1640, a freeman.He lived in Dorchester, near Boston from 1641-1644 when he moved toBoston. This period must have started out all right, for the names ofthe first two children born here are rather normal, but the churchcast him out because of his "unyielding scruples" and the familyreturned to England. In the minutes for the First Church of Boston iswritten:" whereupon for not hearing ye church in their convincingarguments, was excommunicated from ye fellowship of ye church of ye6th of ye 5th month, 1651, in ye name of ye Lord Jesus and with yeconsent of ye church, being admonished twice before." The 4th childwas born in Plymouth, England and the next 3 in another town in Devon.The family then returned to America, going to a more lenient RhodeIsland where the last child was born. In 1669 they moved to ShrewsburyNJ as patentee under the charter of 1664.
Keeping in mind that this was a period of tremendous turmoil inEngland, where their civil war erupted under Oliver Cromwell in 1642after some 25 years of increasing stresses under Charles I. The last 5children's names are statements of their father's attitudes:Restore-doubtless so named in commeration of his restoration to hisnative land England, Freedom, to commemorate his recent release fromdurance vile:, Increase, Jacob and Preserve. The names of thesechildren form the words of a prayer (which only needed a son namedIsrael to be complete)....Thus, Remember John, Restore Freedom,Increase Jacob, Preserve (Israel).

Richard became a member of the first English colony in New Jersey inwhich he was the largest shareholder. He had 1000 acres lying on theCohansey River in the present county of Salem, New Jersey. This landwas conveyed for the payment of 20 pounds, consideration money and twobushels of wheat annually, in rent. This land was surveyed in 1678 anddivided among the five son's of Richard.

RICHARD LIPPINCOTT immigrated about 1693 /1640 from England to Boston,Massachusetts and after several moves in Massachusetts, went toProvidence, Rhode Island, and later to Salem County, New Jersey.Descendants lived in New England, New Jersey, New York, Maryland andelsewhere. RICHARD LIPPINCOTT was born in Stonehouse, Devonshire,England and immigrated to Dorchester, Massachusetts before 1640. Theylater moved to Rhode Island and then Shrewsbury, New Jersey, where hedied in 1683/84. RICHARD LIPPINCOTT and his wife, Abigail, immigratedin 1639 from England to Boston, Massachusetts. By 1650, RICHARD andABIGAIL had pretty much turned to the teachings of Fox, the Quaker,which caused them to be excommunicated from the Puritan Church. Theyencountered such difficult times as Quakers that by 1663 they tooktheir family back to England for a time , and then immigrated again,this time to Rhode Island in 1663, which provided refuge for allreligious beliefs. They then moved later to Shrewsbury, MonmouthCounty, New Jersey. Descendants and relatives lived in New England,New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio and Illinois, Iowa andelsewhere. Some descendants immigrated to Ontario and elsewhere inCanada. While living in New Jersey, RICHARD was the largestshareholder in the company that colonized on Shrewsbury River and wasan active officer of that colony. He was also a Deputy of thePatentees and in 1670 was an Overseer of Shrewsbury Town. Having foundat last, a fixed residence , he spent the last eighteen years of hislife there in New Jersey, and died November 25, 1683. The will can befound in the New Jersey Colonial Documents, Calender of Wills, page294. R ICHARD LIPPINCOTT owned land at Long Point and had personalproperty. His assets were in pounds, of course, and from the inventoryof his estate he had L428.2.0, with a debt of L30 due , and negroservants valued at L60. His wife, ABIGAIL, was named executrix. THELIPPINCOTT FAMILY in America, from the ancestors RICHARD AND ABIGAIL,who removed from Devonshire, England in 1639, and settled at Boston,New England. Having been excommunicated from the Church at Boston fornon-conformity in 1651, he returned with his family to England, andresided at Plymouth Devon and early thereafter became a member of theSociety of Friends then emerging from the various sects around them,and in consequence endured much persecution for the testimony of goodConscience. In 1663, he returned to New England and lived for severalyears in Rhode Island, and finally, in 1669, established himself andfamily at Shrewsbury, Monmouth Count y, New Jersey, where he died 25thof 9th month,(November Old Style), 1683. His widow, Abigail , died in1697, leaving a considerable estate. The name, LIPPINCOTT, is one ofthe oldest of local origin in England and was derived from Lovecotewhich is described in the Domesday Book of Census, made by order ofWilliam the Conqueror in 1086, of lands held by Edward the Confessorin 1041-1066. This Saxon name implies that a proprietor named Loveheld the house, Cote, and lands, hence called Lovecote, which name wasprobably already ancient. Surnames were not settled until about thisdate and hence Lovecote, Loughwyngcote, Lyvenscott, Luffingcott,Luppingcott, through which variations it has descended to become fixedin Lippincott during the last two centuries and is undoubtedly ofgreat antiquity. FROM THE LDS FAMILY HISTORY LIBRARY IN SLC: RICHARDLIPPINCOTT, the ancestor of the LIPPINCOTT family in America,emigrated from Devonshire, England, about 1639 or 1640, and wasprobably nearly connected with the branch settled near Sidbury, whichearly settlers of the colony of Massachusetts Bay, and was admitted aFreeman by the General Court of Boston, 13th May, 1640. In 1641,RICHARD and his wife, Abigail, resided at Dorchester, near Boston.

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

William POTTER arrived at Boston aboard the "Abigail" from London inJuly of 1635. Traveling with William were his wife, Frances CHILDS?,and his 20 week old son Joseph.

William's Mother (Hannah POTTER BEECHER), step-father (John BEECHER),and brother (John POTTER) followed William to America two years later.They were part of the company that arrived aboard the "Hector" thatincluded the very prominent Puritans Rev. John DAVENPORT andTheophilus EATON. The party had intended to settle within theMassachusetts Colony, but upon their arrival, decided to found a newcolony elsewhere because of what they perceived to be a taintedreligious climate in Boston. The families made arrangements fortemporary housing in Boston while a site was being selected. TheBEECHERS and John POTTER probably moved in with William and his familyduring this period.

Shortly before the arrival of the "Hector", an army from theMassachusetts Colony had raided and slaughtered the Pequot Indians attheir village of Quinnipiac on Long Island. The returning soldierstold stories of an abundant land and a favorable harbor. Hearing theglowing reports, Rev. DAVENPORT dispatched Rev. EATON with a party toexplore the area. The party included John BEECHER, William'sstep-father. They arrived in the Quinnipiac area in early autumn andfound it quite suitable for the establishment of a colony. Fearing theapproach of winter, however, EATON thought it prudent to delayattempting the establishment until the following spring. He decided toleave seven men to winter at Quinnipiac, further explore the area, andto prepare for the arrival of the main colony. John BEECHER was one ofthe seven men left behind. He died sometime during that winter and wasburied in an unmarked grave. The colony that became established thefollowing spring was New Haven Colony. John BEECHER'S remains werediscovered some years later while digging a cellar.

William POTTER, his family, Hannah (his mother), John POTTER, andIsaac BEECHER (John BEECHER'S son) all removed from Boston to NewHaven. They may have went with the original settlers in that spring of1638 but that cannot be established. They were definitely there by1639, however, because both William and John POTTER signed the NewHaven Agreement in a general town meeting that year.

Early New Haven records indicate that William's life was a 'good news- bad news' scenario. On the one hand his seating assignments in thechurch indicate that he progressed in the standing. On the other handhe was frequently fined for offenses ranging from absence at militarytraining, improper care of arms, to failure to submit a timelyinventory for taxation.

In 1659 Hannah POTTER BEECHER died and appointed William executor ofher will. She left 2/3 of her estate to William and 1/3 to IsaacBEECHER. She requested that William 'be as a father to his youngerbrother and his children.'

William died between May, 1662, and March following , in New Haven.His estate was valued at over 190 English pounds, as shown by theinventory taken August 2, 1662. The family home was on the west sideof Quinipiac River near the present Cedar Hill station.

The descendants of this early American include the names of many whohave distinguished themselves as scholars, as ministers and in otherprofessions. We omit any reference to incidents in connection with theclose of his life for the reason that he appears to have been thevictim of a mental disorder rather than an enemy of society.

Excerpt from "Potter Profiles" vol.22, p.29-31:
"Father, Farmer, Churchman, Sinner" by Barbara W. Pitcher, reprintedwith permission of the Colorado Genealogical Society, Inc. Copyright1988"
... According to RECORDS OF THE COLONY OR JURISDICTION OF NEW HAVEN,FROM MAY, 1653, TO THE UNION (Charles Hoadly, State Librarian,Hartford 1858, p.440-443) "William Potter was called before ye courtto answr to wt charge or accusation as they vnderstand fromexamination is layd against him, viz: that he hath committed ye sin ofbestiality wth sundrie creatures. ... he confessed more pticularly,the first time he sd was in Old England, at prentise, wn he was abouteleuen yeare old ... he acted with a cow which is now gone ... & heacted this wickedness wth two sowes ... also a yeareling heifer ... yesentence of ye court, to be executed vpon him, viz: that he be hangedon a gallowes till he be dead, & then cut downe & buried, & thecreatures with whom he hath thus sinfully acted to be put to deathbefore his eyes." ... William had made his will on May 19, 1662, aweek before the trial. And so it was on June 6, 1662 that the townpaid Thomas Wheadon to hang his former friend, William Potter.

William did not witness his daughter Hope's wedding to Daniel
Robins(on)on 26
May 1663 or 10 Feb 1663 (notes do not agree, but I suspect thatthewedding
was in May and the events below were in February)

Every amateur genealogist has in the back of his or her mind that
someday an ancestral skeleton will appear, perhaps the legendary
"horse thief". For those who are descendants of William Potter,
the skeleton has appeared, but he did not steal the horses.

The facts are largely outlined and discussed in an excellent
article by Joanne Ruth Walroth, entitled "Beyond Legal Remedy:
Divorce in Seventeenth-Century Woodbridge, New Jersey" appearing
in New Jersey History, Vol. 105, Fall/Winter 1987, beginning on
page 1. While the article concerns an action for divorce and
permission to remarry brought by his granddaughter, Rebecca Adams
Seatown, daughter of William's daughter Rebecca and her husband,
Thomas Adams, the article shows the background in her life,
including the remarkable "problem" encountered by William Potter,
which resulted in his being hanged until dead on June 6, 1662.

The charge was "that he hath committed ye sin of bestiality with
sundrie creatures". We will leave the details, quoted from the
court records, to Ms. Walroth's article. Suffice to say that
from his confessed "first episode" at age eleven, when he was an
apprentice in England, to later in New England, "his lust
followed him, though he thought he should have got power against
it". "Several episodes followed, first with a bitch, then with
two sows, then a yearling heifer, a two-year-old calf, a cow,
three sheep, and an old mare. One of his sons had discovered
him, apparently while in the act, but Potter had himself told his
wife about the episodes with the sheep and tried to excuse
himself. The court was particularly harsh with him because the
'sin' had continued since childhood, and he was now an old man."
[Note: it is interesting to see that a modern day article on the
subject, written in 1987, puts the word "sin" in quotation marks,
as if that were some quaint 17th century idea].

One wonders about some of the legal aspects of the trial. Potter
was convicted on the principal testimony of his wife and one of
his sons. While his son apparently had been an eye witness to
one of the events, his wife's testimony resulted from what Potter
had "confided in her". And his confession, in detail, was
undoubtedly the controlling factor. But had it been coerced?
Had he been read his rights? Where were the "experts" to testify
that he was sick, not criminal, or that it was all the fault of
the animals, or that something his father had done was
responsible for his behavior. Where were Kunsler and Shapiro
when he needed them?

One also wonders about the media event of this trial. The charge
being a capital offense, resulted in the New Haven General Court
hearing the matter. No less a personage than Gov. William Leete
conducted the trial himself. Were there demonstrators outside
the court? Perhaps the advocates of capital punishment joined
with the animal rights groups to call for his execution? As Ms.
Walroth points out [N.J.History 105:14] there were people who
reacted unfavorably to the death penalty. "William Bassett and
his wife were fined forty shillings for
speakeing to the
reproach' of Thomas Wheadon, who had carried out William Potter's
execution."

Ms. Walroth also covers some aspects of dispute over the estate
after Potter's death, which showed lack of family harmony, and
points out that "although each of the six Potter children would
eventually marry and raise a large family, none of them named a
child either William or Frances. In an age when it was customary
for a couple to name children for both maternal and paternal
grandparents, it is surely evidence of deep levels of stress
within the family that not one of the Potter children used these
names."

See that article in full, particularly for the sources she cites
in her documentation.

See also "Early Settlers of Watertown, Mass." by Bond, page 910,
referencing "July 1, 1635, William Potter, husbandman, aged 27,
Frances Potter, uxor, aged 26, and Joseph Potter, aged 20 months,
embarked for New England, in the Abigail, &c. . . . William Potter
was one of the signers of the original agreement entered into by
the first settlers of New Haven. [See Hinman's Catalogue,
2d ed., p. 76.]"

Not surprisingly, this situation did not escape the eye or pen
of Mather. See Mather's Magnalia VI, 38, Art. 3 of Appendix of

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

Obadiah Holmes was born in Northern England around the year 1607. Hisbirthplace lay in the rural area of Reddish, five miles southeast ofthe center of Manchester. He was the second son of Robert Holmes andCatherine Johnson Holmes (the family name was at the time morecommonly spelled Hulmes or Hullme.) Baptized in Didsbury Chapel onMarch 18, 1610, he grew up in a farm family of eight or nine children.Since Obadiah later became a glassmaker and a weaver, it may well bethat "bookish" interest was minimal in his early years. He relatesthat he had been neglectful and strayed from his religious duties andresponsibilities for a period of five years. If this was the case, hecertainly atoned for it later in his life. His mother's illness anddeath proved a turning point. "It struck me that my disobedient actscaused her death, which forced me to confess the same to her - my evilways." Two months after his mother's death, he took Catherine Hyde ashis wife. They were married in Manchester's Collegiate College Churchon 20 Nov 1630.

The decade of the 1630's so disheartened England's Puritans that theyleft their homeland in shipload after shipload to create a newer andpurer England far away. These were the years of the Great Migrationand Obadiah Holmes also "adventured the danger of the seas to come toNew England." Holmes and his wife probably sailed from Preston (justnorth of Liverpool), down the River Ribble, across the Irish Sea, andinto the open Atlantic. They had an extremely stormy voyage thatprevented them from entering Boston harbor until six weeks had passed.Soon after landing at Boston in the summer or early fall of 1638, theymade their way up the coast and settled at Salem, Massachusetts.

By January, 1639, they were in Salem; on the twenty-first of thatmonth Holmes received one acre of land for a house and a promise often more acres "to be laid out by the town." The young Salemsettlement encouraged Holmes and his co-workers in the development ofwhat may have been the first glass factory in North America. They madethe common window glass. Holmes performed other duties befitting agood citizen and often served on juries during his years of residenceat Salem.

In March 1640, Obadiah and Catherine became members of the Salemchurch. Obadiah soon found himself disliking the rigidity of theestablished church. Nor was it his inclination to keep silent in themidst of religious discussions. He soon decided the church and civillaws could not be tolerated any longer. Obadiah's decision to move wasprobably more influenced by the fact that the church and civilauthorities would not tolerate him. Before Oct of 1643, Obadiah hadtaken an option in the newly created community of Rehoboth 40 milessouth of Boston. He sold his holdings in Salem by 1645, removinghimself and his family to Rehoboth the same year. There he waselevated to the status of freeman in 1648. Both Obadiah and Catherineparticipated in this church's public worship, presided over by SamuelNewman. Obadiah soon found that he had not removed beyond religiousand other controversies when making his second settlement in the newcountry. It took three years for the membership of the Rehoboth churchto become divided on doctrinal and legal lines and become alignedbehind the minister and Obadiah as the respective leaders. Obadiah'sconversion to the distinctive views of the Baptists was developedhere. Baptized with the "new baptism" along with 8 others, Obadiahtook the irrevocable step toward separation from New England'sofficial way and he became the leader of the Schismatists.

The climax must have come to a head in 1649 for that is the year onOctober 29 that Obadiah entered suit for slander against SamuelNewman, the minister. The slanderous suit stated that Obadiah hadcommitted perjury in some court proceeding. On the 2nd day of Oct1650, he, with others of Rehoboth, were indicted by the Grand Jury atNew Plymouth for holding meetings on the Lord's day from house tohouse, "contrary to the order of the court". The burden of thepetition was that the dissident group (Holmes and 8 others) had set upa separate and irregular church meeting in opposition to the orderly,approved, and established congregation led by Rev. Samuel Newman. Allsuch schismatical activity, the petitioners urged, should ceaseforthwith. The court responded mildly enough, by ordering the group(in Holmes' words) "to desist, and neither to ordain officers, nor tobaptize, nor to break bread together, nor yet to meet upon the firstday of the week..." Holmes and his followers would not find peace inPlymouth nor in Massachusetts Bay, so once more he sold his house andlands and moved to Newport, Rhode Island, hoping that he had leftbehind for good the meddling civil magistrates, the condescendingclergy, the intrusive and insolent laws.

On July 16, 1651, John Clarke, John Crandall and Obadiah Holmesjourneyed from Newport into MA, coming to the town of Lynn on the 19thof that month. The purpose of the visit was to bring spiritual comfortand communion to one William Witter, a blind and aged fellow Baptistwho had invited the three to come to his house. The broader purposewas, of course, an evangelical one: to tell of the new baptism and itsimport to all who would hear. And indeed the word was proclaimed,converts were baptized, the elements of the Lord's Supper were served- all of this done privately in William Witter's home.

On Sunday, July 20, two constables entered the house. "With theirclamorous tongues" they interrupted Clarke's discourse, "telling usthat they were come with authority from the Magistrates to apprehendus." Clarke asked to see the authority for so rude an intrusion,"whereupon they plucked forth their warrant, and one of them with atrembling hand read it to us." The three Rhode Islanders were placedunder arrest and taken to the local "Ale-house or Ordinary", AnchorTavern, to be fed and to await their scheduled appearance before thelocal magistrate, Robert Bridges, early the next morning.

One of the constables suggested to the 3 prisoners that if they werefree, then all might go together to the Lynn church for eveningservices. Clarke replied (humor presumably intended) that if they werefree, none of this awkwardness would have happened. Yet, he said, weare at your disposal and if you want us to go to church we will go tochurch. Off they went, but on the way Clarke informed the constablethat if forced to attend "your meeting, we shall declare our dissentfrom you both by word and gesture." Believing this to be a problem forsacred officers, not civil ones, the constable held his peace. Uponentering the church, where services were already underway, the threevisitors took off their hats, "civilly saluted", sat down, and puttheir hats back on again. This action was more than rude; thereplacing of hats was an open declaration of disapproval of whateverwas being said or done. The constable quickly snatched three hats fromthree irreverent heads and afterwards, the three were returned to thetavern where they were "watched over that night as thieves androbbers." In the morning, after a brief appearance before RobertBridges in Lynn, the itinerant evangelists were sent to Boston fortrial.

They were committed to the common jail. The mittimus, or court orderfor commitment to prison, indicated essentially four complaintsagainst the "strangers". They had offended by (a) conducting a privateworship service at the same time as the town's public worship; (b)"offensively disturbing" the public meeting in Lynn; (c) moreseriously, "seducing and drawing aside others after their erroneousjudgment and practices"; and (d) "neglecting or refusing to give insufficient security for their appearance" at the next meeting of thecounty court.

The trial before the General Court began one week later. The trialitself was so swiftly consummated that the accused hardly knew it wasdone. We were examined in the morning, wrote Clarke, and sentenced inthe afternoon - sentenced "without producing either accuser, witness,jury, law of God or man..." It was the assumption of Governor Endicottand his assistants of the guilt of the accused and cut off any defensewhen Holmes and Clarke tried to speak. The members of the court shotquestions at them, or made statements to them, which showed theirguilt prejudged. The violence of some of the bystanders, in thepresence of the court, and without its rebuke, went so far that Holmeswas assaulted, struck, and cursed by Rev. John Wilson. This happenedwhile Holmes was in the custody of an officer, in the presence of thecourt, and within the protection of the law.

The penalty which the law provided was banishment. But what sort ofpunishment is it to "banish" persons who already live in anotherjurisdiction? Obviously, some other manner of rebuke had to be metedout, whether the law made provision for it or not. Clarke, clearly thespokesman and leader of the group, was fined £20; Crandall, as atag-along and largely silent companion, was fined only £5. But ObadiahHolmes, already under the cloud of excommunication from the church inRehoboth, received the largest fine of £30. All the fines provided fora hard alternative: to be paid in full or else the culprit was to be"well whipped". Until the fines were paid or satisfaction otherwisereceived, all three were to remain in jail.

They were not without friends and sympathizers, however. The friendsof Clarke and Crandall speedily raised the amounts of their fines andpaid them. The fine of Holmes was higher and required a little moretime to raise the amount, but his friends were ready to pay it. Whenhe learned what they were proposing to do, he promptly forbade thepayment of the fine, making it a matter of his conscience andscruples.

After another week, Clarke was released when friends paid his fine.John Crandall put up bail and went home. So only Holmes remained inprison, adamantly refusing to pay his fine or to let others pay it forhim. The court's explicit alternative awaited him - to be"well-whipped". The 5th day of Sep 1651 came and he was taken from thejail, stripped naked down to the waist - he refused to aid by touchingeven a button of his clothing - tied to the post and publicly whipped.

There were thirty strokes, with a three-cord whip, held by theexecutioner, not in one hand, but in both hands. The strokes did notfollow each other quickly or lightly. They were laid on slowly andwith all the strength of the officer wielding the instrument oftorture. Throughout, there was not a groan or murmur from the victim.The first sound from his lips were the words to the magistrates, whostood about as witnesses, "You have struck me as with roses."

After his release from jail, Holmes returned to Newport and in 1652succeeded Dr. John Clarke. He became the second minister of the firstBaptist Church in America. The church at Newport was his permanentcharge for more than thirty years until his death on October 15, 1682.

Reference to his will is found in a list of seventeen wills (between1676 and 1695) that were presented to the court in 1700, by partiesinterested, the law requiring three witnesses, and these wills havingbut two. He was buried in his own field, where a tomb was erected tohis memory (in what is now the town of Middletown). His wife did notlong survive him.

General Notes: Ralph and Joyce Wallen arrived at Plimouth Colony aboard the ship"Anne" in 1623. They were on the third ship of Pilgrims arriving atPlimouth. The "Mayflower" in 1620 and the "Fortune" in 1621 preceededthem. The arrival of the "Anne" and her sister ship, the "LittleJames" brought the total number of colonists to about 200. Ann, thefirst child of Ralph and Joyce Wallen, was born shortly after theirarrival. Ann married John Smalley, a tailor. The Smalleys moved toEastham then to Little Compton, RI, then later to Piscataway, NewJersey. Thomas and Richard, sons of Ralph and Joyce Wallen, moved toProvidence, Rhode Island. In 1627, a division of land and assets inPlimouth was made. Ralph and Joyce Wallen were assigned to thethirteen member Francis Eaton company. Their group was given "anheyfer of the last yeare called the white belyed heyfer and two sheegoats." The documents were signed by Governor William Bradford, EdwardWinslow, Nathaniel Morton, Nathaniel Clarke and Samuel Sprague. In1633 the freemen of the Colony were listed and Ralph Wallen was on thelist. He was on the Plimouth Colony tax list for 1632/33. In 1633/34the name "widow Wallen" replaced her husband's on the tax list. JoyceWallen continued to live in Plimouth until she sold her land onSeptember 7, 1643.
The will of Nicholas Snow who had come to Plimouth on the "Anne" withthe Wallens gives the names of his neighbors: Ralph Wallen, ThomasClarke, Manessah Kempton, Edward Bangs and the Hopkins family.
The will of Dr. Samuel Fuller on July 30, 1633 directs that "mydaughter Mercy be and remaine to Goodwife Wallen". "Goodwife" was aterm used for a single female head of a household.

According to "English Emigrants to New England, 1620-1650", RobertElwell was born in Stoke Abbott Parish, Dorset Co., England. Theidentities of his parents have yet to be established. From"CompleteBook of Emigrants", by Peter W. Coldham, Robert Elwell was a planterand one of several carrying household goods, clothing and provisionsfor themselves, their wives, children and servants (valued at 900pounds) and allowed to pass free of customs, to be shipped on the ship"Recovery" of London sailing from Weymouth, England to New England(America) on 31 Mar. 1633. Robert then settled in the MassachusettsBay Colony in the town of Dorchester. In the Dorchester town recordson 1 Sep. 1634, the following is recorded: "It is ordered that theLott which was graunted formerly to John Rocket shall be transferredto Robert Elway (Elwell)." On a map of Dorchester town lots, it isshown that lot #49 was marked for J. Rocket and # 74 (3 acres) for R.Elwell. Other references to Robert Elwell are made in the Dorchestertown records through 8 June 1640.

Robert Elwell was married to Joane ? about 1635 and probably inDorchester, although no record of this marriage has yet been found.Robert became a Freeman in Dorchester on 13 May 1640. He apparentlysold his property in Dorchester on 8 June 1640 and moved to Salem, MA.According to the available records, it is quite likely that RobertElwell owned property in both Salem and nearby Gloucester. In Apr.1642, he bought from Mr. Milward "two acres of upland lying in theharbor, between the lots of John Collins and Zebulon Hill, runningfrom his house northerly over the next swamp." Robert Elwell became aSelectman in Gloucester in 1648 and was appointed by the General Courtof Gloucester in 1651 as one of two "commissioners to end smallcauses", and he did considerable business in this judicial position.Also, in 1651, he was granted land at Rock Neck, MA. Robert was amember of a committee to erect a new meeting house in Gloucester in1664. Following his wife Joane's death on 31 Mar. 1675 (probably inGloucester), Robert married Alice Leach, widow of Robert Leach, on 29May 1676. Robert Elwell's will was dated 15 May 1683 and was proved on30 June 1691. Robert's second wife Alice died on 10 Apr. 1691.

The following information on William Bassett and his family has beenextracted primarily from "Salem Co., NJ Historical SocietyPublication", (Vol. 3, No. 1) form "The Bassett Family", by CatherineSoleman Chandler, Downers Grove, IL, July 1964. In her introduction,Mrs. Chandler acknowledges that another William Bassett (oftenconfused with this family) came to New England in 1621 on the ship"Fortune", who was twice married and originally from Bethnal Green,Middlesex. He had spent 10 years with the Pilgrims in Leyden, Hollandprior to coming to America and died in 1667

Our William Bassett was apparently the only child born to RogerBassett and Ann Holland, being baptized on 30 May 1624 at St. Martin'sChurch, Dorking, Surrey Co., England. At the age of about three, hisfather died and his mother married Hugh Burt, sometime after 3 Oct.1628 when Hugh's first wife Ursullah was buried. Hugh Burt (35), AnnBurt (32), William Bassett (9) and Edward Burt (8) were registered aspassengers on the log of the ship "Abigail" on 17 June 1635 and HughBurt, Jr. (15) was registered on 1 July 1635 by Robert Blackwell,Shipmaster. Other researchers have concluded that the ages given onthe log were probably off by a few years since Hugh Burt, Sr.(according to later Salem Court records) should have been about 44years old at the time.

Upon arrival in America, the family first settled in the MassachusettsBay Colony, but apparently soon thereafter moved to Lynn, MA whereHugh Burt, Sr. was one of the original inhabitants who were given landthere in 1638.

It has become generally accepted that William Bassett's wife was SarahBurt, daughter of Hugh Burt, Sr. by his first wife Ursullah. This iscorroborated by all early histories of Massachusetts, although norecord of her birth or proof of this relationship has yet been found.It is believed that she was born in England, although no baptismal orship passenger records have been located. Particularly puzzling is whyshe was not shown on the log of the ship "Abigail" with her father in1635. In any event, William and Sarah were married about 1646 andprobably in Lynn, MA, although it could have occurred elsewhere sinceno one at that time was qualified to perform marriages in Lynn. Theylived on Nahant Street in Lynn and this property was still owned byBassett descendants when the "History of Lynn, Mass.", by Lewis andNewhall was published in 1865.

During the Indian Wars, William Bassett was an ensign in Capt.Gardner's company from nearby Salem, MA. William was later promoted toCaptain. For his service in this capacity, he was awarded by theGeneral Court, a grant of 3 acres and 128 poles of land. In Lynn andEssex County records, William Bassett was referred to as"Quartermaster". He served many times on trial juries in the QuarterlyCourt, was a Constable and Selectman (or Prudential man) in Lynn(along with Thomas Leighton, Richard Walker, Andrew Mansfield,Nathaniel Kertland, John Burrill and Ralph King), and was among thosecitizens who signed for the purchase of land from the Indians in 1686.In 1689, William was a member of the Council of War along with MajorBenjamin Church of Scarborough, Maine. All Of William and Sarah'schildren were born in Lynn and were living at the time William madehis will on 10 Feb. 1701/02.

The fear and hysteria of witchcraft which began in England, grippedNew England and culminated in the infamous Salem Witch Trials in 1692,had been a sinister undercurrent for many years among the inhabitantsof Salem. In 1669, a complaint against Widow Burt for witchcraft wasmade in Salem Court. It is reasonably certain that this was widow AnnBurt, mother of William Bassett, Sr. The younger Hugh Burt, Jr. wouldhave been about 49 at this time (had he lived) and his wife would haveprobably been about the same age. The terms "auld wich" and "ols goodyBurt" would likely have applied more aptly to Ann. In any event, theridiculous charges (documented in the Quarterly Court Records ofSalem, 30 Nov. 1669) offer an interesting sidelight to the life andsuperstitions of this period. Some of the charges have been excerptedbelow:

"Bethiah Carter, aged 23 years, deposed that she heard Sarah Towsansay when she was a maid & lived with Goodwife Burt that the lattertold the said Sarah if she could believe in her God she would cure herbody and soul, but Goodwife Burt said she could not cure her ownhusband because he would not believe in her God, but her maid did andwas cured. Since then the said Sarah has been sorely afflicted withsad fits 'Crying out and Rayling agaynst me sayin My father carryed meto boston but Carryed her to Lin too an auld wich'. Sarah told herfurther that she had seen the said Burt appear often at her bed's feetin the day and night."

"Phillip Reade, Physician, aged about 45 years, deposed that he hadbeen sent for several times to see Sara Townsan and her sister Carter,both being very ill. 'Sd Sara townsend being in a more sadderCondiccion he had noe oppertunyty to Examine her Condiccion but didplaynly perceive there was no Naturall caus for such unnatural fitsbut being sent for the 4th time and finding her in a meat Capassity toGive information of her agreunac and Caus of her former fits she touldme the abovesd Burt had afflickted her and if ever she did Relate itto anyone she would afflict her wors one however after had a sadderfit than evar sha had afore: then I askt her who afflict her Now abdwhat the matter was she Replide with a great scrich she had tould mealready and she did Now Suffer for it.' "

"John Knight, aged about 47 years, deposed that he 'was goinge tofetch some things for his wife and he saw old goody burt coming out ofthe swamp and shee was in her smok sleeves and a blake hancacher andblack cap on her head and hee looked upp and suddenly shee was goneout of sight and I looked aboute and could not see her, when I cameinto the house I found her in the same habit as I saw her and he saidunto her did I not see you in the swamp even now and she said noe Iwas in the house and he tould her she was a light headed woman.' "

"Maddelene Pearson, aged about 50 years, deposed that she heard SarahPearson say when her father had her down to Goodwife Burts to be curedof her sore that the first night she was there the said Burt put herto bed..... Burt said 'Sarah will you smokit and giving of the pipeshe smokit', and Sarah fell into fits again and said Goodwife Burtbrought the devil to torment her."

Apparently no action was taken against Widow Burt as a result of thesecharges. However, some of William and Sarah Bassett's children werenot so lucky. Their oldest son William, Jr.' wife Sarah Hood was triedat Salem on 23 May 1692 and was sentenced to Boston prison where shewas kept until 3 Dec. 1692. Her daughter named Deliverance was bornwhile she was being held in prison. She later received 9 pounds ascompensation for her false imprisonment for witchcraft. Their daughterElizabeth's first husband John Proctor was hanged for wizardry duringthe Salem Trials on 19 Aug. 1692, based on the testimony of MaryWarren, a servant in their household. Elizabeth was also found guiltyof witchcraft, but was given a reprieve "on account of her peculiarcircumstances" or until her child John Proctor, Jr. could be born. Shewas eventually given restitution for her prison stay of 150 pounds in1703. John and Elizabeth Proctor were the central characters in ArthurMiller's play (and subsequent movie) "The Crucible" and are alsodescribed in the book "The Devil in Massachusetts", by Marion Starkey,written in 1949. William and Sarah's daughter Mary was also accused ofwitchcraft and was sent to prison in Boston on23 May 1692. At the timeof her imprisonment, she was a widow and was given 9 pounds ascompensation for her prison stay.

It is unclear as to when the Bassetts became Quakers, but it wasprobably not during the lifetime of William, Sr. At Lynn, on the 22Apr. 1703, "Whereas, we, the people called Quakers, of the town ofLynn, having been requested by the governor to give a list of our name- in answer thereunto each person hath respectively signed himselfe -Richard Estes, Samuel Collins, William Bassett, Walter Phillips,Richard Oake, Joseph Richards, John Hood, Samuel Breed, Hugh Alley,William Bassett, Jr., John Bassett, John Collins, Jabez Jenkins,Walter Phillips, Jr., Isaac Clark, Samuel Collins, Jr. and JohnEstes."

Sarah BRADWAY, born 1677, died 1714, who married in 1694, WilliamHALL.
Hannah Bradway, born 1681.
Information from Biographical History of the First CongressionalDistrict of New Jersey. - Edward Bradway, living in the parish of St.Paul, Shadwell, in London, transported himself, with his wife Mary andtwo children, Mary and Susanna Bradway and their three servants, -that is to say, William Groome, Francis Buckell and John Alim, - inthe third month in the year, according to the English account, 1677into America, on board ship Kent, Gregory Marloe master, who allarrived in the province of West New Jersey the seventh monthfollowing, and so to the place New Salem, where they did inhabit, andhad the following children: Mary, Susanna (William not mentioned ascoming with the family), Sarah (born in the 27th of the seventh month,1677), and Hannah, born the 14th of the seventh month, 1681. As theKent was leaving the Thames, King Charles the 2d. on his pleasurebarge, came along side and asked whither they were going, and on beingtold they were Quakers going to America he gave them his blessing.
Before coming to this country Edward Bradway purchased one thousandacres of land and a town lot of Fenwick, said lot containing sixteenacres, commencing near the public wharf at the creek and running upthe street a certain distance, and from the line of said street anortherly course to Fenwick creek. (See deed bearing date of June 6,1680, Salem Surveys, book 5, page 311, Trenton, N.J.) In the year 1691Edward Bradway built on his town lot a large brick house. (It wasgutted by fire and restored about 1875 - and torn down about 1965,)for size and appearance surpassing any house built prior to that date,and for many years afterward in Salem. The governor of this stateresided in this house some time after the death of Edward Bradway;hence it went under the name of the governor's house for many yearsafterward. It was also called the Lighthouse, because in earlier timeslanterns were displayed from a pole on the roof to guide navigators inthe creek. Edward and Mary Bradway deeded their house and town lot ofsixteen acres to their daughter, Mary Cooper, a widow, the deedbearing date of January 16, 1693. (Salem Surveys, book 5, page 288,Trenton, N.J.)

In 1693 the town of Salem was incorporated into a borough, and theauthorities of the town changed the name of Wharf street to Bradwaystreet, in honor of Edward Bradway. He was a prominent member of theFriends' meeting in early times, and appears in public affairs, beingchosen a member of the assembly of Salem Tenth in September, 1685;signed concessions and agreement in March, 1676; was a member ofassembly, Salem, in March, 1683; justice of Salem Tenth in May, 1684;commissioned to call to account Salem people who had received publicgoods, in May 1694; justice of Salem Tenth, in May, 1685; and memberof the assembly, September, 1685. (End of text from BiographicalHistory of the First Congressional District of New Jersey.)

According to Passengers and Ships Prior to 1684, Penn's Colony: VolumeI, by Walter Lee Sheppard, Jr., 1970, Edward Bradway, family andservants are listed as passengers of the Kent. However, he waspossibly on the Greyhound, on which he loaded goods after the Kent haddeparted. Edward Bradway, his family and servants are also listed aspassengers of the Greyhound in October, 1677

Salem, the capital of Salem County, New Jersey, thirty-two miles fromCamden, is the oldest settlement in southwest New Jersey and wasfounded by the Society of Friends under the leadership of John Fenwickin 1675, seven years before the founding of Pennsylvania. The mainthoroughfare of Salem, originally called Wharf Street, is now known asBroadway, a name thought by some people to be a corruption of"Bradway", derived from Edward Bradway, an opulent early settler whobuilt his handsome residence on his town lot.

2700. Samuel* Fogg,² son of John Fogge ² and Mary Legate,² was born on 1 Jan 1628 in Theydon Gamon, Essex, England^² and died on 16 Apr 1672 in Hamton, Rockingham County, New Hampshire^² at age 44.

General Notes: Fogg, Samuel born 1-1-1628, Theydon Garnon, Essex Co., Eng., son ofJohn Jr. and Mary Legate Fogg; m1st Oct.
12, 1652 in York County, Maine, Anne Shaw who died Dec. 9, 1663. Hemarried 2nd Dec. 28, 1665 in Hampton, NH Mary Page (born 1644 inHampton, died Mar. 8, 1700 there), daughter of Deacon Robert and LucyWood Page. He died April 16, 1672 in Hampton, Norfolk County and hisJan. 9, 1671 will was probated Aug. 8, 1672 with an inventory of L240.They were probably buried in Pine Grove Cemetary but their gravestonesare not there now.
In 1646 he was apprenticed to his uncle, John Legate and in 1647 (with5 years to serve) to William Fuller of Hampton. Samuel sued Fuller fornot teaching him the locksmith trade and Samuel was "bound over toexpert locksmith Isaac Cosen of Rowley for the remaining period". Hewas a Hampton proprietor in 1650, a freeman Oct. 3, 1654 and aselectman 1655/63. In 1658 he recieved several land grants and boughtCapt. Christopher Hussey's original homestead at Bride's Hill, theAnthony Emery place of 1893; the large farm has never been conveyed bydeed but has passed down from generation to generation by virtue ofthe original grant. He belonged to the Congregational Church. Maryjoined in May 29, 1698. He was a constable in 1660.
Samuel had five children by Anne and Three by Mary, all born inHampton.
ADDENDA: There was another (?)Samuel Fogg who according to one sourcecame in 1630 with his brother, Ralph, from Exeter, England on the"Arabella" (formerly the "Eagle") with Winthrop's Fleet to Plymouth,Mass.
The brothers settled in Boston then moved to Exeter, NH where Samuelwas an oringinal proprietor(1638). He married June 23, 1659 SarahCarrier, daughter of Richard Carrier. Ralph became a freeman Sept. 31634 and in 1637 went to Salem where he held several town offices,including that of treasurer. In 1644 Ralph was in the Artillary Co.and in 1652 he returned to England because he was refused license tokeep an "office of intelligence and money exchange". He became alivery man in Skinner's Company in London.
The surname Fogg(e) is of Welsh origin. Fogg genealogies trace thepossible line of descent through royalty via Catherine Parr, the 6thand last wife of Henry VIIIth, to Ortho Fogge, c. 1272.
Clemem's "Marriage Records Before 1699"gives the dates and places ofSamuel Fogg's marriages to Anne Shaw and Mary Page (as well as his sonSamuel Jr.'s marriage to Hannah Marston). Savage's "GenealogicalDictionary of New England" states that our Seth (the father of theRev. Jeremiah) was the son of Samuel of Hampton and Sarah CarrierFogg. If so, then it was another Samuel Fogg who married Mary Page.Could it be that our Samuel married 1st Ann Shaw and that she diedafter July 15, 1658 when son John was born and that Samuel married 2ndSarah June 16, 1660 and Mary (born May 1, 1662) and that Sarah diedafter Mary's birth and that Samuel married 3rd Mary Page on Dec. 28,1665 who was the mother of Seth (born Nov. 28, 1666). If so, the AnneFogg who died Dec. 9, 1663 was not Ann Shaw Fogg but rather, mostlikely, an unrecorded daughter of Samuel and Ann Shaw, born perhapsearly in 1655 and that Anne Shaw Fogg's death was unrecorded.

Samuel was baptized on 01-01-1629 in Theydon Gamon, Essex, Englandaccording to the current calender. The New Year began in England onMarch 25th until 1751. He signed a will on 01-19-1671 in Hampton, N.H.The will can now be seen at the Court House in Salem, Mass. It appearsto be signed by his own hand - Samuell fogge.

The will names sons William, Samuel, John, Nathaniel,Jeremiah, Benjamin & Joseph Bacon, and daughters Martha & Ann, as wellas his wife, although not by name. Recorded in Will Book A, pg. 175.

"Samuel Bacon, probably, was one of the first Europeans that purchasedlands in the North Cohansey precincts, now known as Bacon's Neck. Hepurchased it of an Indian chief, and the deed is still in possessionof one of the branches of the Bacon family. A considerable portion ofthe land is held at this time by some of Samuel's descendants, beingthe sixth generation. William, Joseph and John, sons of Samuel Bacon,were prominent men. John was one of the Judges of the Salem Courts fora number of years." [from History and Genealogy of Fenwick's Colony,pg. 461].

2734. Emmanuel* Woolley ² was born on 29 Mar 1625 in Crich, Derby, England^² and died on 4 May 1681 in Newport, RI^² at age 56.

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

Emanuel, an orphan by age three, immigrated to Newport, RI, as a childprior
to 1653. Made a freeman (citizen) in May 1653 and, in May 1667, he andothers
skilled therein were ordered to repair all arms brought to them by the
Captain or Lieutenant of the Newport Train Band. He was part of theRhode
Island Monmouth Association and was among those who contributed to the
purchase of land from the local Indians. He did not settle in MonmouthCo.,
NJ, giving his share to sons Edward, William and John.

From Austin's Genealogical Dictionary we learn that Emmanuel Wooleywas made freeman of Newport, Rhode Island on May 17, 1667. He andothers skilled therein were ordered to repair all arms brought to themby the Captain Or Lieutenant of the Train Band of Newport.

The statement has been made that he came to Shrewsbury, NJ in 1660,but the sole evidence of that, if true, lies in the fact that, to theextent of three pounds, he was one of the contributors for thepurchasing of lands from the Indians. No land was patented to him;there is no warrant for any survey of land in his name; and no deed isof record in which he appears as grantor. It is likely, therefore,that the share of land he purchased was given or sold to one of hissons.

Of his children, nine in number, all except the oldest and youngestsons came to Monmouth County, NJ, Edward settling at Manasquan,William at Shark River, and John at Poplar, where he had many acres oflands adjoining those of his father-in-law, Thomas Potter.

• Info: Came to New Jersey in 1687. Purchased land from William Chamberlain on Nov. 19, 1687. ²

Freedom Lippincott, fourth son of Richard & Abigail Lippincott, was atanner. He moved from Monmouth Co. to Burlington Co. in 1687. He livedby the Rancocas Creek, where the king's highway crossed it, just aboutwhere Bridgeboro now stands. In 1687, he bought 288 acres inBurlington Co. and made his home on that land. He was also ablacksmith and in the summer of 1697, while shoeing a horse, he waskilled by lightning. His widow and five children survived him.

On 2 Sep 1680, Freedom Lippincott of Shrewsbury and Mary "Costoms" ofBurlington proposed their intentions of marriage before the BurlingtonMonthly Meeting held at John Woolston's house in Burlington. Theypassed meeting the following 6 Oct. and were married eight days laterat Burlington as shown by the marriage record.

Since Quaker marriages are frequently witnessed by relatives, carefulattention is given to those who witnessed this marriage. The onlyLippincott relative present was Freedom's brother Remembrance. ThomasOlive who witnessed the marriage was the emigrant to West Jersey whosewife Judith Nottingham "Jude", was a sister toAnn(Nottingham)Custance/Custin, Mary Custance's mother. Therefore
Thomas and Judith Olive were Mary's aunt and uncle and probably hersenior relatives in West Jersey.

Judith Olive continues to be of interest to Freedom and MaryLippincott's family. "Judeth"Olive was present at the "birthing" on 24Dec 1684 of their son Samuel. Judith Olive was also present at thebirth of Thomas, their son, on 28 Dec 1686. Judy Olive died on 4 Nov1688 which is of particular interest
since Freedom and Mary named their next child Judith when she was bornon 22 Jul 1689.

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

The identity of Freedom's wife has been the subject of much discussionand some considerable confusion. Her identity as a Curtis is withoutfoundation in any record and should be disregarded. The originalBurlington Monthly Meeting Book of Births, Deaths and Marriages givesher name as Mary Custin. The Burlington Monthly Minute Book which is afair copy of the records in the aforementioned book transcribes hername as Mary Customs. Subsequent research indicates that her name wasMary Custance, but since it is difficult to know how 17th Centuryorthography and pronunciation rendered that name, Custin may very wellbe a faithful approximation.

Mary(Custance)Lippincott was related to the Olive and Woolstonfamilies who settled in Burlington Co. through her mother. Hermaternal grandfather Thomas Nottingham, a yeoman ofWellingborough,Northamptonshire,England, married Mary Hills on 24 Apr1624. They had at least twelve children, one of whom was Mary's motherAnn. Ann's sister, Susanna marr. William Woolston and her sister,Judith marr. Thomas Olive.

Thomas Olive's will written 8 Nov 1692 at his home in Willingborough,BurlCo., NJ, corroborates the Woolston and Lippincott relationship. Hespecifically left the children of Freedom 'Lippingcot' the sum of fivepounds to be equally divided amongst them and to be paid when theyshall come to the age of eighteen years.

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

William Buckman, a carpenter from Billingshurst, in Sussex, England, a"Welcome" passenger, brought with him his wife, daughters, Mary andSarah, and son, William. A daughter, Ruth, was born to them aftertheir arrival. He took up a tract of land along the Bristol Road,above Churchville, which extended nearly to Richborough, Pennsylvania.His second wife was Elizabeth Wilson, by whom he had four children andat his death, in 1716, his widow married Thomas Story, of Falls,Pennsylvania. His children intermarried with the families of Cooper,Bock, Blaker, Penquite and Heston and left numerous descendents.(There is the same William Buckman, who later settled in Newtown, PA.There has been much confusion with this as the children are different.This second family accounts for this.)
William Penn started a new settlement in Newton, Pennsylvania andshortly after this William Buckman sold his farm and stock to Shaw.Then Buckman bought a tract in Newtown township in Bucks County,Pennsylvania on the Neshaminy of Robert Webb. He married his secondwife, Elizabeth Wilson and they lived at this location until hisdeath. His will is dated April 9, 1716. William and Elizabeth lived onthe Bristol Road above Churchville to Richborough, Pennsylvania.William lies buried in the old grave yard at Newtown in Newtowntownship in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. The grave yard is overgrownwith briars and trees and a few dilapidated tombstones remain.

William Buck, the immigrant was born, probably, at or nearBillinghurst, Sussex, England, about the year 1650, the son, probablythe eldest, of Edward and Joan Bagham Buckman. Though no record of hisbirth or baptism has been found, he is associated with the otherchildren of his parents in the baggage memoranda already quoted, andhe inherited the land rights of his brothers, Edward and Thomas whenthey died without issue. Thre can be no doubt of his position in thisfamily. Along with his family as passengers on the "Welcome" were histwo brothers, Edward and Thomas, his sister Ruther and their widowedmother, Joan Buckman. There is a possibility that his eldest child,Thomas started the voyage with the others but died of the smallpoxenroute.

The Middletown Monthly Meeting minutes on the 8th month, 2nd day of1690 (August 2, 1690), the names of contributors to the meeting housefund and among them we find Willm (sic) Buckman with a 5s 1dcontribution. He was appointed on of several to lay out a road fromNewtown to the ferry on the second Wednesday in December 1693,reappointed 10 June 1696, on which day the work was reported done.Similarly, on 5 October 1697, he was appointed to lay out a road fromWrightstown to Neshamineh Meeting House, and he was a juror in 1684,on the grand jury in 1688, 1689, 1691, and 1698, and a witness on 14April 1698.

William Buckman emigrated to America on the "Welcome" with many otherQuakers
in 1682. He traveled with 1071 pounds of items, including tools,linens,
clothing, dishes, pots and pans, beds, and weapons. He inherited fromhis
father and from his brothers who died without issue. General W. W. H.Davis,
author of the History of Bucks County, PA, believes that the Buckmansspent
their first winter in a cave south of Falsington. William wasappointed one of
several to lay out a road from Newtown to the ferry in 1693. In 1697he was
appointed to lay out a road from Wrightstown to Nehamineh MeetingHouse. He was
juror in 1684, and on the grand jury several times.

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

John came to America in 1683, and joined the Quakers in 1696. He wasfrom
Liskeard, Cornwall, and came to this country as a servant to ThomasConstable
and his sister Blanche. He asked permission to marry Agnes Sharpe ofShrewsbury
in East Jersey, and received approval from the Neshamina MM (laterMiddletown
MM) 6 Jan 1690. In 1695 they moved to Wrightstown after Walter andBlanche
(Constable) Bridgeman died. John was a farmer and a zealous Friend.
Note:
Art Connor, who said that some of his information came from the museumin
Doylestown, said that John Penquite was from Yorkshire.
Note:
Another source (Bucks Co. PA Historical Society, Vol. 1 p. 3) saysthat
Penquites were in Bucks Co. as early as 1600 (?) and the third settlerin
Wrightstown was John Penquite. So he may have been here earlier than1683.
Valerie Rabe doubted that John Penquite was Cornish, however Penquiteis a
Cornish name.
Note:
Agnes Sharp was converted to the Society of Friends in England, andwas a
religiously minded woman with a gift in the ministry. She did nottravel much
in the exercise of her ministry, but was faithful in attendingmeetings about
her home. Her testimonies were generally short, but she indicated tothose
around her that she had the evidence of Divine peace. She came toAmerica in
1686.

Owned land in Farmington

Thomas Dymont who moved from Connecticut to East Hampton Long Island,and then to Southhampton was among the first settler of that place whowas of Puritan ancestry. He was one of the first settlers, but was notone of the original group.

None of the sources I have seen, give the information on Thomas beingborn in Shalford, Essex, but since I have nothing to refute it, I willaccept this place given by Ed Deming in His World Connect WEB site onThomas Deming. (E. Dimond, Dec. 2001)

The progenitor of the family seems to be one Thomas Dumont, born inPicardy, France in the mid 1500's. He emigrated to England with alarge group of Huguenots in the late 1500's. Thomas had at least 2sons, David and Jonathan. This information was given to me by RobertCulp of Pearl City, Hawaii in 1988. Mr. Culp was then working on acomprehaensive history of the Dymont, Deming, Diman, Dement, Dimondfamily. According to several sources, as noted above, the name appearsin early records as Deming, Demmon, Demond, Dimon, Diamond, Diamont,and Dymont. (Depending on the researcher any one of these is used.Probably it depends on how the researcher's family has chosen to usethe name). Edwin Dimond in his volume GENEALOGY OF THE DIMOND OR DIMONFAMILY, published Albany, N.Y., 1891, thinks Deming is amis-pronunciation of the name.

The first Thomas had two known sons David and Jonathan. No one seemsto know what happened to David, though his name occurs in the will ofRichard Treat. (father-in-law of one John Deming). Jonathan or Johnhad 3 children ----- Elizabeth m. (1) Nathaniel Foote (2) Gov. WilliamWelles of Conn. Thomas born 1610-1613 (described below) John b. abt1612, recorded as John s. of John DuMont, the Frenchman, or as JohnDeming, the settler.

John and Thomas Dymont (Diamont or Deming) first appear in theWethersfield, Conn. records in 1636-1645. Savage says they wereperhaps brothers. This agrees with some family traditions. ThomasDymont's shipyard in Wethersfield in 1648 is mentioned as the placewhere one of the first ships of the colony (The TRYALL) was built.(See Memorial History of Hartford County, p. 481). Thomas married MaryShaeffe in 1645 in Wethersfield. They soon removed to Farmington wheretheir son James was born in 1646. From Farmington Thomas removed toSouthhampton, Long Island, and then to East Hampton, where he died in1682. In his will he used the spelling Dymont, not Deming, as he hadperhaps used in Wethersfield. He mentions his wife Mary and childrenas follows---James, b. 1646; Thomas; Sarah, wife of _______Headley ofNew Jersey; Abigail; Hannah, wife of ________ Bird or Budd; Elizabeth,wife of ________ Miller; Ruth, wife of _________Dayton; John who diedbefore 1682. (Howell's Early History of Southhampton, L.I., 2d ed.)
Thomas was probably the brother of John Dymont of Wethersfield. Theyhad a Shipyard there which built one of the first ships of the colonywas built. This was the TRYALL (see Memorial History of HartfordCounty). Thmas and Mary removed to Farmington after their marriage,and thence to Southampton, and later East Hampton. In his will he usedthe spelling Dymont, n0ot Deming which he may have used inConnecticut.
The Dymonts of Southampton were among the early settlers, but were notamong the original nine families.

The name was spelled many different ways. Originally probably Dumont,then Deming, Dymont, Dimon. Diman, Dimond, Diamond, and Diament assome of the variations..

Regarding the above, "GENEALOGIES OF NJ FAMILIES," taken from the 'GenMag.
of NJ,' has an article on the Kendall family in Vol.I, pg. 441-2:

"Thomas and Ann Kendall's Family" by Mary Ann Nicholson

"Dr. John E. Stillwell's "Hist. & Gen. Misc." (4:376) calls John
Ogborne's wife Ann Kendall, daughter of Thomas and Mary Elton Kendall,born
@1677. Then Stillwell says Mary Elton m. Thomas Kendall on December 25
1685.
"Before Mary Elton Kendall died she and Thomas had one daughter,
Mary, who married @ 1702 Samuel Cole, Jr. Thomas Kendall, who had ayoung
motherless dau. to raise, married on Jan. 6, 1690/1 widow Ann(---)Knott
Jennings (TAG 15:179). She brought to this marriage three daughters byher
first two husbands. Ann and Susannah Knott were by ? Knott andElizabeth
Jennings by her marriage to Peter Jennings on March 20, 1683/4(ibid.).
"Peter Jennings, a carpenter of Burlington, made his will on Aug.
31, 1690, inventory was taken Nov. 10, and the will probated Dec. 8,1690.
Wife Ann(Anne) was executrix with Thomas Kendall and Nathaniel Crippsfellow
bondsmen. Jennings named Thomas Gardner and James Hill as advisers and
guardians of his dau. Elizabeth Jennings. He also mentioned his
'daughters-in-law' (step-daughters) Ann and Susannah Knott (NJA23:258-259).
"About 1697 Thomas Kendall's stepdaughter Ann Knott married John
Ogborne, Jr. Susannah Knott was not married when Hannah Chaffen Kemble
Scott made her will in 1697 and mentioned her (NJA 23:408). Susannahwas
the maid servant of Grace and John Hollinshead and in his will of 1699John
said, ".....unto my servant girl Susannah Nott ten pounds and if mydear
wife depart this life before said Susannah's time be expired as boundby
indenture my will is that she be free." By 1720 this legacy had beenpaid
(NJA 23:234)
"Thomas Kendall's will of April 4, 1709 does not mention Elizabeth
Jennings who may not have survived or Susannah who was on her own. Itdoes
mention daughter Mary Cole, wife Ann, and son-in-law John Ogborne (NJA
23:271). Widow Ann and John Ogborne settled the estate.
"John Ogborne, Senior's, will of 1716 mentions his daughter-in-law
Ann Stockton and son John's daughters Sarah, Anna, and Ann (NJA23:344).
John Ogborne, Jr. had died intestae 1713/14 and by 1716 his widow AnnKnott
Ogborne had married John Stockton as his second wife. John Stockton
(1674-1747) had married first Mary Leeds. His second wife, Ann, haddied
before he wrote his will dated Aug. 31, 1745 and proved 1747. In it he
gives small legacies to Sarah Woolston, Anna Lippincott, and the three
Butterworth boys. Sarah, Anna, and the deceased Ann Butterworth werehis
Ogborne stepdaughters (NJA 30:460)."

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

From Burke's standard work of the landed gentry of Great Britain, thisfamily is of Norman origin, and claims to be a branch of the ancientand illustrious house of Montespedon, now believed to be extinct inNormandy.

From old documents it appears that its ancestors must have come toEngland after the conquest, when honors and possessions were assignedto them.

Their history, however is not uninterrupted by times, until the timeof Edward II, when we find by records in the Tower, that Sir Adam DeStokke was seized of the manor of Stokke, Rustaball and Wilts.

Thomas, his eldest son, held the manor of Sendee with other lands inWiltshire, and Roger, his second son, the manors of Wolshall,Sanarnagrit and Hungerford, in the same county. The later Roger, withhis father, Sir Adam, were interred in the church of Great Bedwin, towhich they had been benefactors, where their monuments and effigiesare still to be seen. John, a descendant of Thomas, represented thecounty in Parliment in the time of Charles II. In the reign ofElizabeth, we find the Stockys (the first change in the orthography ofthe name) erected the chapel or church of Sendee, and lies thereinterred. In the fifteenth century, Cristopher Stokes (when the namefinaly changed) held the manors of Stanhawes and other lands inGloucestershire. Edward Stokes held part of the manor of Fetherton andlands at Langley Burrell in Gloucestershire later. John Stokes heldthe manor of Stanhawes Court, Cardington, with other lands in the samecounty about A.D. 1700.

Richard Stokes, of Caln Castle, Wilts, held considerable possessionsin the counties of Gloucestershire and Bucks. Some of the familyenjoyed lands in Sussex and Kent, and within the last fifty yearspossessed considerable proerty in the counties of Wilts,Gloucestershire and Warwick. The arms of the Stokes family-A lionrampant, doubled Gnewed erm Crest. A dove with wings expanded; in themouth an olive branch, all ppr. Motto: Fertis qui insons

Thomas Stokes, the immedite progenitor of the Stokes family inAmerica, was a contemporary of George Fox, the religious reformer andfounder of the Society of Friends', and of William Penn, who wasassociated with the trustees of Edward Byllinge, the originalproprietor of New Jersey, the founder of the Province of Pennsylvania.He was sixteen years younger than the former, and four years olderthan the latter; a convert to their religious doctrines andtoleration, with the largest liberty for individual belief; but likeall pioneers and propagandists desiring to avoid prosecution, andseeking new fields of labor, he concluded to remove to the colonies ofAmerica, and seek his fortune on this continent.

His brother John, of London, having large interests in proprietaryrights bordering on the Northampton River, he settled on a part of thetract conveyed to him by his brother. This conveyance of John to hisbrother Thomas is said to be the only portion of his proprietaryinterest ever disposed of in any way by him, and was no doubt thewhole location. Thomas located three hundred acres of land fronting onthe northerly side of the Northampton River, and a portion of thetract remains in the family, having passed down from father to son bywill.

Thomas Stokes was a man of influence, and took a very active part inthe affairs of the colony. We find from the records of the colony thathe served on the first grand jury held in Burlington County.

Thomas Stokes, of Lower Shadwell, and Mary Bernard of Stepney, weremarried the 30th day of the 10th month, 1668, Westbury Street Friends'Meeting, London. They belonged to Devonshire House Meeting.

Thomas and his family sailed for America in the ship "Kent," andarrived at New Castle 6th month, 1677, proceeded to Burlington, WestNew Jersey, and settled on a tract of land containing one hundredsixty-two and a half acres. The deed for the same was from hisbrother, John Stokes, of Wentworth street, London, who was a biscuitbaker, etc., who owned a great many acres of land in NorthhamptonTownship, Burlington County, New Jersey. Thomas named the locationStokingham. He was one of the signers of the laws and concessions ofWest New Jersey

Groombridge Place is a moated manor house set in magnificent groundsall of which are being restored. In 1239 the site boasted a feudalcastle built by the Baron, William Russell. During the Civil War theCastle was largely destroyed. With the restoration of the monarchy in1660, Philip Packer, a member of the kings court, set about rebuildingthe estate. Inspired by Chistopher Wren he built the classicalmansion, and John Evelyn who visited frequently advised the design forthe formal gardens which have survived virtually unaltered to thisday.

From "Historic Kent Villages"

The Village of Groombridge

Groombridge teeters on the very borders of Kent and Sussex. In fact,part if it actually spills over into the neighbouring county and thereis some local controversy about whether it should remain thus dividedor be absorbed wholly into one county or the other.

At one corner of the triangular green the Crown Inn keeps a friendlyeye on the 17th century brick church of St John the Evangelist. Thisbegan life as a chapel built by a Protestant owner of GroombridgePlace in thanksgiving for the failure of Charles I's plans to marrythe Catholic Infanta of Spain. The church overlooks the green fromacross the B2188, from which an access to the Burrswood Centre slicesthe green in two.

The Burrswood Christian Centre for Health Care and Ministry,established in 1960, includes a church, a conference centre and tearoom. It offers physiotherapy, hydrotherapy and other treatments forphysical and spiritual ills in 220 acres of some of the most beautifulcountryside in England, itself a balm to both heart and soul.

Two sides of the green are framed by tile-hung and weatherboardedcottages behind pollarded lime trees, creating a picture-postcardscene that is both peaceful and, at the same time, oddly lifeless, inspite of the fairly constant stream of traffic that passes it.

There is though, nothing lifeless about moated Groombridge Place,which advertises its welcome to paying customers to explore the whollydelightful gardens and grounds. The house, although not open to thepublic, can still be admired from across the moat. It boasts a700-year history, beginning in 1239, when Henry III gave hispermission for a fortified and moated castle to be built. In 1286, aCharter of Edward I permitted the founding of a weekly market andannual fair at Groombridge. The fair died out in the early 1900s butthe market was still being held every week until the middle of thecentury.

Through the centuries, Groombridge Place has been owned by some ofKent's most distinguished families, including the de Cobhams and thatSir Richard Waller who, after the Battle of Agincourt in 1415, foundthe wounded Duke of Orleans, half-brother of the French King, andbrought his back to Groombridge. Here he was nursed back to healthwhile waiting for the ransom that was demanded for his return to bepaid. Unfortunately for Sir Richard, word got around and the prisonerwas claimed by the Crown, as was the huge ransom that was eventuallypaid for him.

After the Wallers, the castle was owned by the Sackvilles (of Knole,at Sevenoaks) but it was the 17th century owner, Philip Packer, whorebuilt it pretty much as it is today. After 1734, the house lay emptyand falling into dereliction for twenty years, during which time itmay well have been used by the notorious Groombridge Gang of smugglersas a 'hide'. The gang was finally broken up and one of its leaders,John Bowra, who turned land agent and map maker, was commissioned todraw up an estate plan, which is still preserved at Groombridge Place.

The new owner, William Camfield, restored not only the house but StJohn's church and the village generally. After the Camfields, theestate was inherited by the Rev John James Saint and his family, whoare commemorated pretty prominently in the churchyard.

The diarist, John Evelyn, who was a friend of the Packers during theirownership and stayed at Groombridge Place more than once, described itas 'a pretty melancholy seat, well wooded and watered' and he confidedto his diary his opinion that the new house would have been far bettersituated south of the wood. Nevertheless, there is some reason tobelieve he helped design the gardens although he probably did notenvisage such features as the Enchanted Forest, Sacred Pools,Draughtsman's Garden with its giant chess and draughts sets, and muchelse besides, all designed to help Groombridge Place compete withother major attractions.

THE REEVES FAMILY

FIRST GENERATION

"WALTER REEVE, the progenitor of this family, settled in Burlington
County, New Jersey (then West Jersey), some time prior to 1678. The
date of his birth is not known, but we can assume it to be between1650
and 1657. He lived on the south side of the North Branch of Rancocas
Creek, at first on land he never took title to. He later bought a
plantation on the north side of the creek, about midway between the
village of Rancocas and the present town of Mt. Holly. He says in his
will that his plantation is on the north side of the creek, to the
'northward of my dwelling house,' so we might infer his dwelling house
was still on the south side of the creek. This may have been, for the
land he first occupied was called Reeve's land in surveys and deeds upto
1743, when it was surveyed to Andrew Connaro, February 8, 1743, as
seventy acres. And when Connaro sold it by deed of 18 June 1756, to
Charles Reed it says, 'Whereas Andrew Connaro by virtue of a Warrant
from the Council of Proprietors had surveyed to him the quantity of
seventy acres of land situate in the forks of the Ancocas being theland
formerly called Reeve's land.'
Walter Reeve[s], besides the plantation above mentioned, had
surveyed to him under Warrant, December 16, 1693, by Daniel Leeds,Deputy
Surveyor, 150 acres on the west side of the North Branch of Rancocas
Creek, and in June, 1695, he had surveyed to him 200 acres on thenorth
side of the North Branch of Rancocas Creek, so that in all he had
acquired 350 acres by survey and 160 acres he purchased beside the
seventy acres where he first resided but never took title to.

It is not known to whom he was first married, but we believe her
first name was Susannah, and it was probably several years beforecoming
to Burlington County. His second marriage was to Ann Howell, November
11, 1682. He had issue by both wives. In his will, dated May 16, and
proved June 18, 1698, he mentions: wife Anne, and sons John, Williamand
Joseph, and daughter Susanna. His will does not recite the name
Jonathan, but a conveyance dated August 1, 1710, shows his widow Anne,
conveying 'the tract of meadow land lying next above the fork of
Northampton River, upon the north side of the South Branch of saidriver,
heretofore purchased of John Wills by deed dated January 20, 1708' toher
son Johnathan.
To this time we have shown that Walter had four sons and one
daughter. In the will of his widow, Anne, who survived him about forty
years, dated September 23, 1732, proved July 31, 1733, the following
additional sons are named: Walter, Elisha, Caleb, and Samuel, making
eight sons in all.

In these early documents we find the name written at times without
the final 's' which we use today. The transition from Reeve to Reevesis
not difficult to understand when we note the variations in spellingthe
name of the same person. Documents of record show the name, Reeve,Reve,
Reave, Reeves. The later rendering seems to have become quite fixedfrom
or about 1685.
According to Webster, 'Reeve' is from Saxon 'gerefa,' an officer,
steward, or governor. In the days of the Saxon rule in England, wefind
'reeves' of various kinds looking after their lord's manors. Therewere
fenreeves, looking after turbary rights; hythereeves, taking harbour
dues; portreeves in coast towns. In early histories of our own country
we come across hog-reves, deer-reves, etc. It is obsolete except in
compound words, as shire-reeve, now written 'sheriff.' So we may say
that the State has given us the name Reeves just as it has given usKing,
Earl, Chancellor and Mayor. Also, as the Church has given us Pope,
Bishop, Parsons, Clark (clerk), etc."

Transcribed from, "The Reeves Family - Walter Reeves, (Compiled from
notes left by Samuel V. Reeves) by Clara Swain Stevens, a Niece andClara
B. (Reeves) Birch, a Daughter," 1930.

Walter Reeve arrived in Philadelphia, aboard the Society of Bristol,in
1682 before residing here.

....
In the latter part of the seventeenth century, Walter Reeve settled in
Burlington County, West Jersey. By his first wife, he had issue in
England ???
of John and Susanna; and by his second wife, Anne Howell, whom hemarried
in 1682, he had further issue of Walter, Jonothan, William, Elisha,
Joseph,
Calib, Samuel, and Elizabeth.

John Reeve, who settled at Southold, Long Island, in the latter partof
the seventeenth century, is stated by some writers to have been abrother
of the immigrant Walter, but this is not certain. His sons were John,
Elisha,
Walter, Samuel, and Jonathan, and he may also have had issue ofseveral
daughters.

The offspring of these and later lines of the family in America have
scattered throughout every state of the Union and have played a worthy
role
in the advancement of American civilization. Industrious, keen-minded,and
of high integrity, on the whole, they have been successful in almost
every
field of endeavor. Members of the family have been particularly
outstanding as soldiers, public officials, writers, educators, and
theologians.
Among those of the Reeve name who fought in the War of the Revolution
were Ensign John of
New Jersey, Lieutenant Nathaniel of Massachusetts, Lieutenant Enos of
Pennsylvania, and
Captain Issaic of New Jersey.

A few of the members of the family who have distinguished themselvesmore
recently are:

Tapping Reeve (1744 - 1823) Long Island — Jurist
Arthur Middleton Reeve (1856-1891) Ohio — Philologist
Floyd Wesley Reeve (1890- ) South Dakota — Educator
Samuel Watson Reeves (1875- ) South Carolina — Mathematician
Arthur Benjamin Reeves (1880- ) New York — Author
Ira Louis Reeves (1872- ) Missouri — Army Officer
James Hynes Reeves (1870- ) Alabama — Army Officer
Jesse Siddall Reeves (1872- ) Indiana — University Professor
Joseph Mason Reeves (1870- ) Illinois — Rear Admiral

One of the most ancient and best known of several coats of arms of the
English Family of
Reeve(s) or Reave(s) is that described as follows (Burke, GeneralArmory,
1884):
Arms: "Argent, on a fess engrailed sable, between three escallopsazure,
as many eagles displayed or "Crest: An eagles head erased, or collared
sable."

Watts Reeve 1766 - 1821
Lois M. Cambell 1767 - 1853
Moses Reeve 1809 - 1881
Abagail Hedges 1811 - 1893

Research: Although these names are represented by seperate anddistinct
families in many sections
of Great Britain, the United States, and other parts of the world,they
have undoubtely a common derivation. The name orginated in the ancient
word "reve", meaning a bailiff, provost or steward. In the feudal daysof
Britain almost every manor of consequence had its "reve" whoseauthority
was to levy the lord's rent, to set to work his servants, tosuperintend
his dominions to his best profit and to govern his tenants in peace as
well as to lead them forth to war when necessity required. After the
Normans invaded England (1066) the name "reve" was changed to"bailiff".
In later times the word "sheriff" shire-reve) came into usedesignating
the principal Governor over the English shire or country. Robert Reveof
Blandford, County Dorset, was the earliest known ancestor of theEnglish
family of Reve, Rives, or Ryves. He was born about 1490. At his deathin
1551, he was buried in the Church of Saints Peter
and Paul in Blandford Forum where the coat of arms was found in thenorth
window. One William Rives who settled in Virginia was considered the
founder of the Rives, Ryves family in the southern states of America.He
was the son of Timothy Rives of Oxfordshire, England and came toSurrey
County, Virginia about 1653. The first documented representative ofthis
branch of the Reeves family was George Reeves who was born about 1700in
Virginia. There is no record to be found of his arrival by ship inthat
generation so it is quite likely that his father was the emigrant.

I) Walter Reeve (as the name was originally spelled), the pioneer
ancestor of this family in New Jersey, came to the province of West
Jersey prior to 1682. He settled in Burlington county, locating on
Rancocas creek, where he purchased a plantation upon which heestablished
his homestead and which he occupied until his death in 1698. It is
probable that he came from England, although it is possible that hecame
from Southold, Long Island, and was a member of the Reeve family which
settled there about 1650. John Reeve, of Southold, who was probably in
the same generation as Walter Reeve, made his will in 1712, and inthis
he named his sons, John, Elisha, Walter, Samuel and Jonathan, all of
which names are to be found among the sons of Walter Reeve, ofBurlington
county. Walter Reeve was a farmer, and appears to have engaged to some
extent in trade with foreign countries. Among the archives in theoffice
of the secretary of the state of New Jersey is the record of a bill of
lading issued to Walter Reeve, 3 April, 1691, for an invoice of"cheese,
flour and beef," shipped by him to John Brett, a merchant of theIsland
of Barbadoes. Mr. Reeve prospered in his wordly estate, and at hisdeath

Nicholas Larsson Friend was born about 1619 and died in Upland County,later Chester County, PA in 1687. His will was dated December 20, 1686and was recorded in Philadelphia County Book A, Page 145. He marriedAnna Andersdotter in New Sweden, PA in August 1656. Anna, a daughterof Anders Anderson and Christina (Goolbrandt) Andersdotter, was bornabout 1638 and died in Chester, PA in 1724.
Allegedly, Nicholas Larsson, originally called Nils Larsson, arrivedin New Sweden aboard the ship SWAN in 1648. By 1668, he had adoptedthe surname Frande and in that year he was granted a permit by theJersey governor to buy west Jersey lands from the Indians. Recordsrefer to Nils Larsson Friend, Nils Larsson, Neals Larsson and NealsLawson. There is some controversy over whether this is one person orif there were two or more people with similar names who had wives nameAnna. Some records say Nicholas Friend was born in Dorsetshire,England. On June 15, 1686, "Neiles Lawrson Friend" was granted 800acres called "Oak Hill" on the east side of Red Clay Creek in ChesterCounty PA. A 1689 deed records Anna as "Anne friend widow and relcitof Neal Lawsa als ffriend Late of Chester ...". In other words, AnneFriend, widow of Neals Larson, alias Friend, who had lived in ChesterCounty.

One relatively unknown forefather, progenitor of the Friend family inAmerica, is Nils Larsson, who arrived in New Sweden on the Swan in1648 and served as a warden for Governor Rising 1654. Two years later,he married Anna Andersdotter (possibly the daughter of AndersAndersson the Finn) and settled at Upland (now Chester), where theyraised a family of ten children. His house was also the location ofthe Swedes' quarterly court sessions after Armegot Printz sold thePrintz family's Tinicum Island estate.

Nils Larsson played a very prominent role in the Swedish communityuntil his death at Upland in the winter of 1686-87. He became known asNils Larsson Frände, meaning "kinsman" or "blood relative" in Swedish,possibly because of his influence among the Indians who considered hima "blood brother." Under English rule, his adopted surname becameanglicized to "Friend." In 1668, Nils and two other Swedes, secured apermit from the govemor of the new province of New Jersey to buy landsfrom the Indians in present Gloucester County. The resultingacquisition led to a large Swedish settlement centering around RaccoonCreek (present Swedesboro).

Nils Larsson Frände also acquired lands in present Bucks County, whichhe traded to William Penn in return for 800 acres east of Red ClayCreek in New Castle County. Penn built his Pennsbury estate onFrände's former land.

At the time of his death, Nils Larsson was serving as constable forChester township. His wife Anna survived him by about 40 years and wassaid to be over 106 when she died.

2998. Israel* Helm Capt. ² was born in 1627 in Mora Parish, Helsingland, Sweden^² and died between 1701 and 1702 in Greenwich Twp, Gloucester County, NJ.^²

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

Capt., ship owner and Master in employ of Swedish, Dutch, and Britishnations. Made many trips to New World. (New Amsterdam 1618-1655).Brought his family to New Sweden, Delaware in 1651 with Col. JohnPrinz III, Governor of New Sweden. In this party was Erick PallsonMollkey of a distinguished Swedish family..The deeds for the landpurchased from the Indians in 1638 for the land afterwards known asNew Sweden were examined and approved by Captain Israel Helm.

One of the legendary leaders emerging from New Sweden was Israel Helm,originally known as Israel Åkesson.

In 1749, Israel Helm's youngest son told Peter Kalm that his fatherhad come to New Sweden at the age of 12 with Governor Printz in1642-43 and lived in the Governor's household. Records at the SwedishNational Archives give a slightly different story: they show thatIsrael Åkesson came to New Sweden in 1641 on the Charitas, with hisfather, musketeer Åke Israelsson from Stockholm. His father died atsea, one month before the Charitas reached New Sweden, and youngIsrael was cared for by the Company as an orphan. Undoubtedly, hebecame a ward of Governor. Printz after his arrival in 1643.

On 1 March, 1648, after Israel became 18, he was named a soldier byGovernor Printz and served in this capacity until he returned toSweden with the governor in 1653. Two years later, Israel Akesson wentto New Sweden a second time on the Mercurius and apparently resided onTinicum Island. When Armegot Printz sold this island to Joost de laGrange in 1662, Israel returned to Europe in her company. Over thenext twelve months he appears to have married and to have helpedrecruit more Finnish Swedes as settlers for the City of Amsterdam,which then controlled the Delaware River. Israel next appears inDelaware River records in the fall of 1663 when he arrived by a Dutchship at present New Castle in the company of 32 new Finnish settlers.The Dutch governor rewarded him by granting him a monopoly on the furtrade in present Pennsylvania and by naming him a "High Councillor,"qualifying him to sit on the Swedes' Upland court.

Israel, who adopted the surname Helm (from hjelm, meaning "helmet" inSwedish) served continuously as a justice on the Upland court from1663 to 1681, and acquired the title of Captain, a rank usuallyreserved for those who served as captain in the Swedish militia.

Through his Indian trading, Israel Helm also became proficient in theIndian dialects and was in frequent demand to negotiate treaties withthe Indians. As a reward, Governor Andros of New York granted him landnear Burlington Island in 1677. Helm later surrendered this land toWilliam Penn for his "Pennsbury" estate in exchange for other land onthe Brandywine River.

After his return to America in 1663, Helm's principal residences wereat Calcon Hook (Lower Darby) and Upland (Chester). By 1677, however,he had moved to Gloucester County, NJ, where he resided on ClonmellCreek until his death in the winter of 1701-02. He was buried next tohis wife in the old Swedish graveyard on Tinicum Island.

Israel Helm had three sons and five daughters:

1. Israel, Jr., born c. 1663, went to sea around 1691 and was neverheard from again.

2. Helene, born c. 1665, married Peter Cock, Jr., son of Peter LarssonCock, in 1682 and had nine children. She died at Passyunk (SouthPhiladelphia) after 1708.

3. Maria, born in 1666, married Andrew Robeson (of Scotch birth) c.1690 and had I I children. She died 12 November 1716 and was buried atGloria Dei. Her husband died 19 February 1720 and was the first personknown to be buried at the Swedish church in Douglassville in BerksCounty.

4. Another daughter, name unknown, was probably the first wife ofAnders Friend, son of Nils Larsson Frände, and father of IsraelFriend, of later Indian trading fame in Maryland. She died before herfather.

5. Ingeborg, born c. 1670, became the second wife of Eric Mullicaafter 1693 and moved with her husband and youngest stepchildren to theMullica River. She was a widow by 1704 and had no known children ofher own.

6. Elisabeth, born c. 1673, married George Lawrence (English) by 1695and had eight children. This family resided in lower GloucesterCounty, where she died c. 1737.

7. Hermanus, born c. 1675, married Catharine (parents not identified)and had at least I I children. He remained on his father's plantation,known as "Helmstadt," adding other lands, and died in November 1740.

8. Åkenus, born c. 1677, had two wives, Catharine Rambo (daughter ofJohn Rambo and Brigitta Cock) and Elisabeth Dalbo, (daughter of OlofDalbo and Catharine Friend), and had at least 11 children. He servedas a trustee of the Swedish church in Swedesboro, NJ and died in 1750at his plantation on Raccoon Creek in Gloucester County.

HIS WILL WAS DATED 23 AUG 1621
HE WAS RECTOR OF FARNSBOROH , HEMPSHIRE , ENGLAND

In the Probate Registry of Winchester states that letters of
administration on the "estate pf John Perie of Farnborough, clarke"
were granted by the Consistory Court of Winchester, 3 May 1622, to
Judith Perry, his widow. The accomanying
inventory of the items of his property is dated 23 August 1621, which
probably shows that the intestate proprietor must have died prior to
that date, though undoubtably in that year

Rector of Farnborough, Consistory Court, Winchester, Hampshire,
England Fairnborough is about 30 miles from London[Masland Family.FTW]

"Of the earliest known ancestor of the family whose record follows,little is certainly known. One reference in the public documents ofearly seventeenth century England is of the highest authenticity; itis the Probate Registry of Winchester statement that letters ofadministration on the 'estate of John Perrie of Farnborough, clarke'were granted by the Consistory Court of Winchester, 3 May 1622, toJudith Perry, his widow. The accompanying inventory of the items ofhis property is dated 23 August 1621, which probably shows that theintestate proprietor must have died prior to that date, thoughundoubtably in that year.
Further corroborative evidence is found in the notice of indenture ofapprenticeship of his son John found in the rolls of the Clothworker'sCompany of London drawn 26 November 1621, which is quoted verbatim inchapter two of this record, and which states that John Perry was aclergyman (clerk) of Farnborough, Southampton, who died in 1621.
Arthur Latham Perry-7 (6903) (Chap. 17) in the chapter entitled 'AnAncestral Research' contained in his book 'Miscellanies' which waspublished in 1902, stated that it was his belief that there was notown named Farneborough in Hampshire (or Hants as it is locally known)which is an alternative title for the County of Southhampton(officially), that he believed the village of Fareham in the samecounty was the one meant in the above references. This writer wishesto take exception to these statements which were understandably madein view of the fact that the village of Farnborough was of littleimportance in 1902 that its name did not appear on any published map.
To quote from the Official Guide and Handbook of Farnborough(Hampshire) for 1954-55: 'Farnborough is situated in Hampshire nearthe borders of Surrey and Berkshire, and is thirty-three miles fromLondon. Its history may be said to date even further back than 1086,for it is probable that Farnborough was included in King Alfred's willas part of the land left by him to his nephew Ethelm, in 901. In 951this heritage passed into the possession of Bishop Aelsige, thenBishop of Winchester.'
At that time Farnborough was a small village set in a vast expanse ofheathland. In 1811 the population numbered 360, and in 1851 it was477. In 1921 it had grown to 12,636, and at the 1931 census wasreturned as 16,359. The town is mentioned in the Domesday survey of1086 under the name of Ferneberga (i.e., Fern Hill). the records ofthe Priory of St. Swithin for 1244 and 1284 mentioned a knight's feeas being payable to the Bishoprick of Winchester, respect of the manorvariously referred to as Farnburge or Farneburewe. The reason for thesudden growth of the town about 1900 was the fact of the permanentinstallation of the headquarters of England's aeronautical researchand development at this place.
The Parish Church is dedicated to St. Peter, although a reference in awill made in 1537 to 'the Church of our Blessed Lady of Farnbrowe'indicates that the original dedication of this Church was to St. Mary.Its registers go back to the year 1584, but the unbroken record of itssuccessive rectors since 1290 show that it was in existence in thethirteenth century. The location of this church is found on ChurchStreet between the Crescent and Rectory streets. It is still in useand in a fine state of repair, although considerably changed andenlarged since the days of the Rev. John Perry."

Henry Pratt, the father of Phinehas, was a nonconformist minister who
preached
the gospel contrary to the rules of the Established Church of England,
and was
imprisoned along with over 400 other religious teachers in gloomy,
damp jails
in England. While there, Henry managed to communicate with his
grief-stricken

Abigail
Pratt, granddaughter of Phinehas, used to relate this story to her

Descendants of Peter Tufts

Generation One

1. Peter1 Tufts; b. 1616 at Tibenham, Norfolk County, England; m. MaryPierce, daughter of Thomas Pierce and Elizabeth Carew, 1646 atCharlestown, Sufflok, Mass; d. 13 May 1700 at Charlestown, Mass; bur.1703 at Bell Rock Cemetery, Malden, Middlesex, Ma.

He lived before 1638 at Charlestown, Suffolk, Ma. He emigrated before1638; It is believed he came from the southern part of Norfolk County,England. When he emigrated is unknown but he was a resident ofCharlestown before prior to 1638. He kept the Malden ferry with hisbrother-in-law, William Bridges in 1646/47 at Malden, Middlesex, Ma

Ferryman, planter and tithingman. He built the brick messuage
in Medford, Mass. He was one of the largest land owners in the
area.

[NI20970] Peter Tufts (also spelled "Tuffts" and Tuffes")
immigrated from Wilby, Norfolk, England to Charlestown, MA where
he is recorded in 1637 "on the Malden side (of Charlestown)." By
1638 he had 43 acres there. In early 1647 Peter, along with
William Bridge, became ferryman on the Mystic River, succeeding
Philip Drinker in that role. This ferry, later known as the
Penny Ferry, served the inhabitants of Malden and the upper
towns until 1787 when it was superceded by the Malden Bridge.
William Bridge, referred to as "his brother," was husband of
Peter's wife's sister, Persis (Pierce) Bridge. By 1647 Peter had
located in Malden, MA where he was one of the earliest and
largest land owners; he also owned land on Mystic Side.

He is recorded as a Freeman of Malden and the Massachusetts Bay
Co. 3 May 1665 and 15 Oct 1679 (NEHGS "Register," Vol 3, pgs.
239 & 245.)

Peter was an interesting character, as attested to by the
following from "The History of Malden, MA, 1633-1785," by
Deloraine Pendre Corey, 1899, page 120: "Henry Swillaway was the
unfortunate servant of Peter Tufts, who "beate his man with the
greate end of A Goade Sticke,' and 'said that he would tie him
to a tre and beat him for he was his monie.' Under such
provocations, it is not strange that the servant began to
retaliate and 'abused' his master and 'his dame in blose and
words.' Thomas Mudge saw him 'strike his master upon his brest
with his hand;' and Mary Mudge testified: 'that she being at
Goodman Torfs of an arand; Gudie Torfe and she hereing the Dine
in the yard, we went out of the dore, and his man had got up a
great stone and held it up to thro at his master, as I conseved,
but when he se me he threwe it doune; I further Testifie I herd
him cal his master base Rouge.' It may be supposed that neither
Goodman Tufts nor the rebellious Swillaway could desire to keep
close company for a long time, and accordingly the latter became
servant to John Bunker. He was soon brought before the Court by
his late master for his miscarriages; but, in the end, the
master got more justice than he liked. James Barratt, his
neighbor, said: ' I James Barot aged about 40 yeres or ther
aboutes I doth heare testifie that I herd goodman tufes sai that
he had not Justis before the Debeti Gove; in the cas betwen him
and his man and for his man was wrong out of his hand Therefor
he wod make it appear at this corte:' Thus was government, in
the person of Richard Bellingham, again defamed as it had been
aforetime by Thomas Squire. Peter Tufts was speedily convicted
and humbly acknowledged his sin, with the wish that it might
'not only be a warning to myselfe for the future, unto a greater
watchfulnes over all my words & wayes, but also a meanes to
detere all others that either have or may heare of, from all
offenses of this or the like nature.'

'Well would it have been for the goodnamn if 'Gudie Torfe' had
profited by the experience of her husband; but her woman's
nature could not control her tongue, which soon brought her to
grief. James Barrett and William Luddington had been witnesses
in the Swillaway case, and it was for slander against them that
she was found guilty. The penalty was: 'damages ten shillings
apeece, & an acknowledgment to be made by the defendant at
Mauldon, upon the Lord's day in the after noone, within the
space of thirty dayes next ensueing, and to be made after the
publicke exercise is ended, before the congregation depart in
mann(er) following via. in these words. That whereas I Mary
Tufts am legally convicted of slandering and wronging James
Barrat & William Luddington, or any other whom my words might
reflect upon, by speaking Rashly, irregularly or sinfully, I am
heartily sorry, & doe desire to be humbled for the same & in
case of non observance to doe as above p-mised either to pay ye
said ten shill. apeece, or making such acknowledgemt both for
mannr & time: the Jury do find that ye defft shall pay uinto ye
pts fifty shill apeece, & costs of Court, thiry one shill & two
pence."

Elsewhere in the same history of Malden, Peter's involvement in
the witchcraft scare at Salem is mentioned: " Peter Tufts of
Mytic Side, who many times during a long life appears in court
records and files, and not always as a desirable neighbor, also
complained of them [Elizabeth Fosdick of Malden & Elizabeth
Paine of Mystic Side]...Complaint v. Eliz Fosdick & Eliz Paine,

March 1693 with codicils of 8 July 1695 and 13 June 1698. It was
proved 10 June 1701. He is buried at Malden Church Yard, called
Bell Rock Cemetery.

HALL

Mary Hall is known as "Widow Hall", though tradition does hint that
perhaps her husband came to New England with her and the family anddied
shortly afterward. Perhaps he was the Nathaniel Hall who came on the
same ship with his brother John to Charlestown in 1630. Mr. Nathaniel
Hall was assigned 3 acres of land 1 September, 1634 and that is theonly
time Nathaniel is mentioned in any record.

The title "Mr.'' by his name means he was a highly respected man. Mary
signed her legal papers plainly and without ornamentation, giving
evidence she was accustomed to writing. However, it was as Widow Mary
Hall she was named in Cambridge by William Wilcox, who in his will
bequeathed her 20 shillings and to her son, William and daughter,Susan,
10 shillings each. She is called sister Mary Hall also in the Will.

Widow Mary had lands given to her in Cambridge in 1662 when she joined
the church there. Her children were adults by then. There are no birth
or death dates for her, nor place of birth, except "England", whereher
children were born also.

*1. John, b. 1617, d. 18 October, 1701, in Medford, Massachusetts,

John2 Mary1

John Hall was born in England in 1617. He first appeared in NewEngland
in Charlestown, Massachusetts. He was made a freeman 6 May, 1635. He
moved to Dover and was on a tax list there from 1648 to 1677. He was
deacon of the first church in Dover in 1635. He laid out many roads,was
a selectman in 1660. He was a grand juror, town clerk, and held other
town offices. He lived in Cambridge from 1667 to 1675.

He bought lands in Medford 27 June, 1675, of Caleb Hobart which he
mortgaged the same day as security, and he redeemed the mortgage 2May,
1681 for 260 Pounds.

John took the fidelity oath in Middlesex County in 1652, and that same
year Cambridge apportioned to him 20 acres of church land inBillerica.
He lived in Concord for several years previous to 1667 and thenreturned
to Cambridge.

In Medford in 1677, John Hall was chosen Constable and Selectman. In
1699 he made a will dividing his large landed estate between his sons,
who were to pay his daughters their portions in money. Widow Elizabeth
had rights reserved for her during her lifetime and had use of portionof
the house and cellar. Stephen and Thomas had house and land near it.
The house was east of the railroad station in Medford and demolishedlong
ago. The cellar was filled in, in 1837.

In the old burying grounds in Medford stands a thick slab of slate,about
as high as wide, arched at the top. On the arch is carved Death'shand,
under which is an hour glass flanked by two winged figures. On oneupper
corner is carved "Memento More" and on the other, "Fugit horo". It is
John Hall's stone.

He died 18 October, 1701 in Medford. He had married in Concord 2 June,
1656, Elizabeth Green, daughter of Percival and Ellen Green. She died4
February, 1714. Their children were born in various towns, whereverJohn
was accumulating lands.

GREEN

In a list of early emigrants "transported (from London) to New England
imbarqued in the "Suzan and Ellin", Edward Payne, Master, in thespring
of 1635", we find the names of "Percivall Greene, husbandman, age 32,and
Ellin Greene, Uxor, age 32". They came with two servants.

They lived in Cambridge in 1636 and were both members of the church.He
took the freeman's oath, 3 March, 1635, where his narne is spelled
Passevell Greene. On the town records it is written Perceiveall. He
owned a house, near the site of the Harvard Branch Railway Station onthe
north side of the Common. He died 25 December. 1639, leaving his wife
and two children.

His widow later married Thomas Fox, said to be a descendant of theauthor
of "The Martyrs". She died 27 May, 1682, aged 82, hence was born in1600
by that record. But according to the ship's record of her being 32years
of age in 1635, she was born in 1603. Percival was born about 1603also,
and was only 36 when he died.

In the Ancient Burying Ground where Percival was buried, stands astone
"Qualis Vita, Finis ita. Here lyes inhumd ye body of Percivall Greenwho
dyed July 10 anno aetates 25 anoq Christo 1684."

In 1691 there was a lawsuit between the grandchildren of PercivalGreen
and Thomas Fox to recover the old homestead that had belonged to their
grandfather and which was then in the possession of Fox, who succeededin
keeping it. The children of Ellen and Percival Green:

1. John, b. 1636, d. 3 March, 1691. He married on 20 October, 1656,Ruth,
dauochter of Edward Michelson.
*2. Elizabeth, h. April, 1639, d. 14 February, 1713. She married John
Hall of Concord 2 June, 1656.

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

Richard Cutter was a cooper and a wheelwright.

Admitted freeman 2 June 1641

Member of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company of Boston in1643.

May have come to New England on the "John & Dorothy" with his widowedmother in 1637.

Richard Cutter, 10 June 1693, deeded Cambridge lands he inherited fromhis brother William.

Richard Cutter's will dated 19 April 1693; proved 24 August 1702;recorded 28 May 1725 and amounted to 98.11.9 (Middlesex CountyProbate, First Series docket 5648)

CUTTER FAMILY
The CUTTER Fam. of N. J. seems to have changed the name in the recordsto Cottar without any reason, but they were one and the same.
WILLIAM CUTTER was F.S. of W., and EPHRAIM CUTTER came from Watertown,Mass.

The common ancestor was that RICHARD CUTTER of Cambridge, Mass.,freeman 2 June, 1641, member of the Artillery Company, 1643, who had afirst wife, Elizabeth, by whom he had the following children:

I. Elizabeth, b. 15 July, 1645, d. at 18 years.
II. Samuel, b. 3 Jan., 1647.
III. Thomas, b. 19th July, 1648, died soon.
IV. WILLIAM, b. 22 Feb., 1650.
V. EPHRAIM.
VI. Gershom.
VII. Mary.
RICHARD CUTTER, Senior, lost his wife, 5 March, 1662, and he married14 February, 1663, Frances, widow of Isaac Emsden, by whom he hadNathaniel, b. 11 Dec., 1663. Rebecca, b. 5 Sept., 1665; Hepzibah, b.11 Nov. 1667, died an infant; Elizabeth, b. 1 March, 1669; Hepzibah,b. 15 Aug., 1671; Sarah, b. Aug. 31, 1673, and Ruhamah. He died 16thJune, 1693, aged about 72, and his widow, Frances, outlived him.Undoubtedly Savage has some errors in the previous record for thebrothers, WILLIAM and EPHRAIM CUTTER, sons of RICHARD, above, becameNew Jersey settlers.

WILLIAM CUTTER OF WOODBRIDGE
First Settler, 1685, (vide, ante, PART FOUR, p. 532).
"1688 July 7. Deed (Donatio inter vivos). WILLIAM COTTAR of Woodbridgeto his wife Janet, for all his land in Woodbridge bounds."
1685-6 Feb. 15. Agreement. WILLIAM COTTAR and wife, Elenor ofWoodbridge with George Allan of Elizabethtown, that the real estate ofCottar shall hecome the fee simple of Allan, after the death of Cottarand wife. (ARCH., Vol. XXI, p. 126.)

These show that WILLIAM CUTTER had at least two wives, the first namedElenor and the second Janet, and they were intertwined with thatGeorge Allen of Elizabethtown (qui videt).

WILLIAM CUTTER d. at Woodbridge before 1696, for see the followingrecord;

"1696 Dec. 28. Confirmation to John Robinson of Woodbridge,blacksmith, in right of William Cotter of the same place, dec'd, ofthe following lots:" (ARCH., Vol. XXI, p. 267.)

This brings John Robinson of Woodbridge into the picture, who waslikewise a relative.

The Rolfe relationship is interesting because Savage in a recordalready adverted to, speaks of WILLIAM CUTTER, son of RICHARD, ashaving a wife, Rebecca Rolfe in 1681, about which there is someconfusion, for note the following record:

"1697 Nov. 10. Receipt, William Cutter to Joseph Rolfe, administratorto his brother John Rolfe dec'd, for his share of the estate." (Idem,p. 277.)

Now, RICHARD CUTTER, undoubtedly a son of the first WILLIAM CUTTER,(supra) appear. in WOODBRIDGE, by 1700. He m. Aug. 20, 1706, MaryPike, (vide, ante, PART TWO, p. 248). Two other CUTTER marriages areentered in same record.

This subject must be coordinated with COTTER, or COTTAR, even KOTTER,as undeniably it was the same. Vide, WILLIAM COTTER of WOODBRIDGE,(vide, ante, this PART, p. 811).

RICHARD CUTTER [#294], b. abt. 1620, d. Cambridge, MA 16 Jun 1693, ageabt. 72, m(1) ELIZABETH WILLIAMS (dau. of Robert Williams andElizabeth Stalham), b. abt. 1620, d. Cambridge 5 Mar 1661-2, age about42, m(2) 14 Feb 1662-3 Frances (Perryman) Amsden, d. 15 Aug 1702. Shem(1) 8 Jun 1654 Isaac Amsden, d. 7 Apr 1659.

Richard Cutter was an early resident of Cambridge, MA where he wasadmitted freeman June 2, 1641 and was made a member of the Ancient andHonorable Artillery Co. of Boston 1643. He may have come toMassachusetts on the John & Dorothy with his widowed mother in1637.[8] He was a cooper by trade[8/5:252] but may also have been awheelwright, as one of the entries in the town records states that thetown grants timber to Richard Cutter for a "payre of Wheeles". Againhe is granted permission to fell "foure trees for his trade on theSouth side the river".[3/19] However he is often referred to in therecords as a cooper.[4/6]

Richard's mother, the widow Elizabeth Cutter, died in Jan. 1663-4. Itwas thought by some that Richard's daughter Elizabeth had died at thistime because he subsequently had another daughter named Elizabeth.However, it was not unheard of to give the same name to children bydifferent wives, thus two Elizabeths. Furthermore, proof exists thatthe first Elizabeth later married William Robinson (see the Robinsonfamily). Richard made a confession to the Cambridge Church whichbegins, "The Lord Was Pleased for to give my parents hearts to bringme up in the fear of the Lord though I had much opposition of heartagainst my parents and those that were over me. And so I came to thisplace and coming by sea and having a hard voyage my heart was dead andsenseless and I found my heart as stubborn as before".[7/179]

Several other records can be found from which we can get a glimpse ofthe personality of Richard Cutter. June 12, 1648: "Upon the complaintof Edward Goffe against Richard Cutter for wrongful detaining ofcalves impounded by him of the said Edward Goffe's, wherein SamuellEldred witnesseth: - Edward Goffe desired his calves of RichardCutter, promising to pay all damages and cost as two men shouldapprehend to be right; but the said Richard Cutter denied to let himhave them except he would take a course with his boy and promise theyshould never come there again".[7/5455] As did his mother, Richardtook part in the Shawshine grant in 1652. He received lot 10 of 80acres.[7/58] The Shawshine plantation later became the town ofBillerica. October 17, 1664 Richard signed a document claimingsatisfaction with the government of the town and colony.[7/7475] TheKing had sent several commissioners to enforce the colony'ssubjection. However, a long controversy, shrewdly managed on the partof the court, resulted in the departure of the commissioners withouthaving accomplished their objective.[7/73]

The final record included here, from the Middlesex Court Files of1660, is not a flattering one for Richard Cutter. It was written byhis brother-in-law, the well respected town schoolmaster, Mr. ElijahCorlett. Apparently Richard was aggrieved by a decision of the CountyCourt in 1659 regarding Elijah. Richard and Elijah petitioned theGeneral Court for relief, and the petition was referred to the CountyCourt with a favorable result. Elijah Corlett then wrote a letter tothe deputies thanking them for helping him. However, he either didn'tappreciate Richard's help or Richard did not make the most diplomaticpresentation. "Much honoured, Mr. Deputie Governour, Major Willard,Mr. Russell, and Mr. Danforth: Elijah Corlett, who was latelie yourWorships humble petitioner ... As touching my petition in the behalfeof Ric. Cutter, referred to the full and finall decision of thehonoured Court; I most humblie and thankfullie acknowledge yourWorships favour in your remarkeable gentlenes and very tender dealingewith a sad, afflicted, weake man, inconsiderate and rash sometimes,&c., your goodnes towards him will, I hope, have a good effect uponhim to mollifie his heart, and the influence of your good advice youleft with him, to moderate his spirite. Soft meanes many times effectswhat rigour cannot; and mercy rejoiceth against (exulteth over)judgement ..." Elijah Corlett 1660.[7/368]

Richard's will was dated April 19, 1693. In it are mentioned hisdaughters Mary Sanger, Hepsibah, Ruhamah, Sarah, Rebecca Fillebrown,and Elizabeth Hall. He also mentioned his sons Samuel, William,Ephraim, Gershom, and Nathaniel. The will was witnessed by JamesHubbard, John Pratt, and John Jackson. A request was made in the willthat he "be buried at Cambridge burying place near my first wivesgrave".[5/8:254] The inventory of Richard Cutter's estate was takenJuly 3, 1693 by James Hubert, Stephen Wills and John Whitmore andamounted to 228.17.4.[5/8:307] Inventory of his widow's estate (i.e.Frances) was taken Aug. 15, 1702 by Nathaniel Patten, John Dickson,and Abraham Watson. It was proved Aug. 24, 1702, recorded May 28, 1725and amounted to 98.11.9.[5/17:271]

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

From "Early Generations of the Family of Robert Harrington ofWatertown,
MA" Frederick Lewis Weis 1958:

"Robert Harrington, born probably in England about 1616, died at
Watertown, MA, 17 May 1707, aged 91 years, having come to New Englandin
the ship "Elizabeth," 10 April 1634. He married at Watertown, 1 Oct.
1647, Susan George, b. about 1632, died at Watertown, 6 July 1694, the
daughter of John George of that town.

He took the oath of fidelity, 1652, and was admitted a freeman of the
Mass. Bay Colony, 27 May 1663, at which time he was undoubtedly amember
of the First Church in Watertown. He was a proprietor of Watertown as
early as 1642, and owned a homestall, "given himby Deacon Thomas
Hastings" a kinsman or a generous patron. He was a member of Captain
Hugh Mason's Watertown Train Band, 1652, the captain havong been
comissioned 5 May 1652; and Mr. Harrington served as Selectman of
Watertown [15 of the years from 1679-1700]. Evidently he was a man of
ability and highly respected by his fellow townsmen to be chosen sooften
for this important and responsible office. He was a mill owner and
miller..."
According to Watertown's Military History, Robert Harrington
settled in Watertown in 1642, and was the ancestor of the whole
Harrington family then in America.

In 1713, three Harringtons settled Lexington. In 1775, eleven
Harringtons were enrolled in Capt. Parker's company of minute
men. On the morning of the battle on Lexington Common, Mrs
Harrington (father's name not mentioned) called her son, saying
"Johathan, get up, the British are coming". He arose and with
his drum and fife he called the minute men together near the
Commons, and soon after the gun was fired with the shot heard
round the world, and two Harringtons fell, pierced by British
bullets. The family was also represented at Bunker Hill &
Ticonderoga.

BlOGRAPHY: THE WHITMORE GENEALOGY. desc of FRANCIS WHITMORE OFCAMBRIDGE MASSACHU SETTS , Jessie Whitmore Patten Purdy Ñ 1907:Francis (Whitmore) came to this country probably during the I630s andhad established his residence in Cambridge prior to 1648, as aboutthat time he married, at that place, Isabel Parke.
Brooks in his history of Medford, tells us that Francis owned propertyin Cambridge near the Plains, Charlestown near the Menetomie River,near Dendruck Meadows also in Medford and Lexington. His house stoodon the dividing line between Lexington amid Cambridge, and ismentioned in the Act of Division. His name, with that of his wife,appeared on a petition in favor of an old woman charged with being awitch, so he can hardly have been of the extreme Puritan Party ,though a member of the church.

Francis served in King Phillip's War; was selectmen and constable in1668 and 1682. In his will he makes provision for the education of hischildren, thus early evidencing that regard for education that is somarked a family trait. This document, which is interesting in that itgives us a light on the character if our first american ancestor, isgiven in full in the appendix.
Tradition says that two brothers, Sir George and John, came to thiscountry in the early 1630's.

Sir George, a bachelor, was a government officer in Nova Scotia, andlived at Halifax. While on a voyage from Halifax to Massachusetts,supposedly to settle an estate on his brother, he was drowned.

A field in Nova Scotia bears the name of Whitmore's Field. Mr. EdwinP. Whitmore, in 1891, then at the age of 83 writes: "I remember mygrandfather tell of an advertisement calling on all people of the nameof Whitmore in the States and Provinces to claim certain moneys orproperty belonging to Sir George.

That John Whitmore (called the lost brother) came to this country inthe 1630's we know. In what part of the colonies he first landed we donot know, but he appears on the records of Wethersfield, Connecticut,as early as 1638. His lot of 54 acres at that place was sold to RobertTreat. He removed to Stamford in 1641, and was one of its firstfounders and settlers. His name is on the second and third lists ofthe colonists; was given in the first distribution of land ten acres;admitted freeman, 1642, Deputy to General Court October 27, 1643;Representative to New Haven Assembly in 1647. Was killed by the Indianin 1648. This act was not an act of private hatred, but seems to havebeen the deed of the whole tribe, and the colony was moved to unitewith that of New Hampshire in a just revenge. Colonial Records ofConnecticut and Trumbull's Colonial Recollections: 'This courte,taking into serious consideration what may be done according to God inway of revenge of the bloude of John Whitmore, late of Stamford, andwell weighing all circumstances, together with the carriages of theIndians (bordering thereuppon) in and about the premises: doe declarethemselves that they do judge it lawful and according to God to make awar uppon them.' A committee was sent to New Haven the next day toconfer with the rest of the magistrates, and 'return with whatconvenient speed they may.' Trumballs Col. Rec. Vol.1, pg. 197

John married in England. The name of his wife cannot be learned. Hemarried, second, in this country, the widow Jessup, who brought himwealth. By his first wife he had born in England:
Thomas 1615
Married Sarah Hall. Lived in Middleton, Connecticut. He changed thename to Wetmore, and is the ancestor of that family, who have retainedthe name as Wetmore.
Anne 1621
Married February 16, 1664, George Farrar
Mary 1623
Married October 23, 1647, John Brewer
Francis 1625
John 1627
Died at Stamford, 1650

That this son (Francis, 1625) is the Francis of Cambridge there can beno doubt, as Francis of Cambridge, on affidavit, gives his age as1625, and every new research strengthens the belief in this theory. Inhis later years, Mr. William H. Whitmore accepted their belief, so wecan safely consider John our first ancestor. As, however, there is nopositive proof, I have, for the sake of accuracy, treated Francis ofCambridge os the first ancestor.

In all my research I have found our ancestors honest, trustworthy,enterprising, and influential, interested in all that meant the goodof their community and country -- all true men and women, worthyexamples for this generation to follow.
THE DISPOSAL OF THE ESTATE OF FRANCIS WHITMORE OF CAMBRIDGE, IN NEWENGLAND

After payment of my just debts, I do give unto my loving wife the useand enjoyment of my whole estate in housing, lands and moveables(excepting that part of my land by me already given unto my sonSamuel) during her widowhood for her livelihood and for the bringingup of my three youngest children, and for the expending of whatlearning she shall be able upon them. But if she marry to another man,my will is that she shall have thirty pounds out of my moveable estateto dispose of as she shall see fit. To my two youngest sons Thomas andJoseph I do give my housing, barns and my part of the new mill, withall my lands thereunto belonging; excepting that part of the land byme set out and delivered to my son Samuel which shall be the full ofhis portion; he not to share in any after division of any part of myestate to be equally divided between them. They to enter upon theposession there of at the age of twenty and one years of age if theirmother be not then living; but if she be then living and continue mywidow, she shall not be dispossessed of any part of my estate duringher life. Also my will is that what of my estate do remain at mywife's decease or marriage which of them shall first happen, with whateach of my children have already had being added thereunto, shall beequally divided among them, to each an equal share. My two youngestsons to have the housing and lands as aforesaid and to pay out of themto the rest of my children that which shall be accounted due to them,as followeth: My eldest son Francis his part to be due him two fullyears after the posessing of my youngest son of the housing and landsas aforesaid. The second two years after; the third two years after,and so successively till all be paid. To my grandchildren of DanielMarkham which he had by my daughter Elizabeth, I do give to each ofthem twenty shillings out of my estate. Also I do nominate my lovingfriends William Locke Sen. of Woburn and Francis Moore of Cambridge tobe my executors of this my last will.

The passenger list of the ship 'Abigail' whichsailed from Weymouth, Dorset, England, on June 20, 1628, contained thenames of Lawrence Leach and John Endicott. The Abigail arrived inSalem on Sept. 6, 1628, and Lawrence Leach settled in that town. Fromevery evidence he had been a man of family and standing in his Englishhome."
Name: "On Apr. 17, 1629, Gov. Craddock, the English governor of thenew Massachusetts Bay Colony, wrote a long letter from Gravesend,England, concerning the affairs of the colony to John Endicott, wholater became governor. In this letter was the following paragraph: 'Wedesire you to take notice of one Lawrence Leach, whom we have found tobe a careful and painful (painstaking) man, and we doubt not he willcontinue his diligence. Let him have deserving respect.' Since Mr.Endicott came on the same ship with Lawrence he must have been awareof his potentialities and made good use of them. His life in Americaseems to have fully justified the confidence reposed in him by Gov.Craddock as he was chosen on Dec. 31, 1638, one of seven men to managethe public affairs of Salem, an office which he held for years."
Name: "Lawrence became a freeman on May 18, 1630. He was active inpublic affairs and held several important offices in the town. He wasone of the founders of the church in Salem, of which he was aprominent member. He was one of twelve jurymen which in Boston in1630, served on the trial of the first capital case that was heard inMassachusetts. For many years he represented Salem in theMassachusetts General Court. In 1636 the town granted him 100 acres ofupland and 6 acres of marsh land. This plantation he developed to itsfullest capacity and he later established with it, mills which werelocated at a place called 'Rial-side' later Beverly. These mills wereso important that the surrounding towns caused roads to be opened tothem. Lawrence also had an iron foundry which was the first one in thecolonies, and one author says that 'Mr. John Leach, brother ofLawrence, was occupied at the iron works'."

Name: "The Leach family is said to have descended from a John LeLeche,surgeon to King Edward III of England. He was a figure of prominencein court circles in the reign of that monarch. The story is told thaton one occasion, while the Kings of both France and Scotland wereprisoners of King Edward, all three kings dined one day at the home ofJohn LeLeche. When they left, King Edward gave their host three crownsas a token of the occasion. Afterwards he was given a large estate bythe King and three crowns were placed on his coat of arms."
Name: "The term leech, as an English synonym for physician, is derivedfrom a Teutonic root meaning 'to heal'. The name appears on theHundred Rolls frequently under the spelling of Le Leche, but at alater date the Le was dropped and the name assumed the form now used.When the adoption of surnames came into common use, the names of Leechand Leach were taken by many of the physicians. The spelling hasvaried at different times and in different branches of the family.Records in the State House in Boston of the men serving in the variouswars, give these variations: Leatch, Leceh, Lech, Leech, Leetch,Lirtch, Lish and Leach, although they are all descendants of the sameline."

From Barker, Ellen Frye. "Frye Genealogy". Tobias A. Wright. New York1920

THE name Frye means Free and is found in England as early as A.D.1100. The origin of the name is: when a man became free either frompurchase of his freedom or from a grant from from his over lord, hestarted a family of Free, which later on became Fry. The name isspelled many ways, such as ffrie, Frie, Frey, Fry, Frye.

The history of the Frye Family is most interesting and there are manyfamous men and women in it.

- John Frye was with Drake, the noted Corsair, in the voyage of theGolden Hind in 1577.
- Francis Fry printed the first Bible translated in English.
- Elizabeth Fry was the noted prison reformer.
- Col. Joshua Fry was a senior officer and trusted friend of PresidentWashington, in the French and Indian War.
- Major General Joseph Frie was famous in the Revolution.
- Senator William Pierce Frye was several times president pro tem ofthe U.S. Senate and twice acting Vice-President of the United States.

So the list goes on of valient men and women, who became earlysettlers in America and bore without complaint their full share of theburdens of this Country, loved liberty and their fellowmen andstruggled for independence and peace, through every stirring eventdown to the present day.

This work is based on Town Records and Deeds, Church Records andFamily Records, after
exhaustive investigation and study. Where dates and names wereuncertain space is given to be
filled later by proven facts.

THE FRYE COAT OF ARMS

The Coat of Arms was confirmed in England in the time of Edward IV,1461-1483, and
is used by all descendants in this country.

The history of this Coat of Arms follows:
Miss Love Pickman Frye (158) of the John of Andover line, married forher second husband Admiral Sir John Knight, K.C.B., and lived inLondon, England. She had no children but adopted her neice Sally Frye(352) to whom she left her property. Miss Sally Frye while living withher aunt in England obtained a copy of the Frye Coat of Arms, asregistered in Burke's Heraldry. This copy she brought to America andgave to her cousin Jedidiah

JOHN OF ANDOVER

This line wrote the name FRIE until 1745, when Col. James (86), aschairman of a meeting of the
town property signed the records FRYE.

John ffrie was said to have been born in Basing, England, in April,1601, although there is no record of any ffrie family being knownthere. All ancient records were burned in the destruction of the
town in 1645 by Cromwell.

John ffrie, with wife Ann and three children sailed from Southampton,England, in May, 1638. The
ship Bevis, with Robert Batten, Master, arrived at Boston in August,1638.

John was a wheelwright, and settled first in Newbury, Mass., thenmoved to Andover, Mass., where
his name appears on the town records as the 8th in the list of firstsettlers before 1644. He was a
Freeholder in 1645 and one of the ten male members of the First Churchof Andover, organized 10-24-1645. He killed wolves in Andover in 1656and received œ5 a head from the Colonial government bounty. WasSelectman in 1670.

After his wife died, 10-22-1680, he was supposed to live with his sonDeacon John. He died there
, and was buried in Andover graveyard.

3168. Osmond* Traske ² was born about 1613 in East Coker, Somerset, England^² and died about 5 Mar 1676 in Beverly, Essex, Ma^² about age 63.

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

He was baptized East Coker, Somerset, England, 14 Mar 1621-2.Religion: religion unknown. Osmonde Trask lived in Salem prior to1650. He later settled on the Beverly side of the Bass River. One ofhis homes, from 1652 to 1662, was alond the lane leading from ConantStreet toward Cape Anne, aoutherly of the Cherry Hill farm. Anotherresidence was located at the intersection of (New) Colon Street and(New) Cabot Street (Bessie Baker Park) in Beverly, Massachusetts. Hisfarm was east of Cabot Street, from Swan Street to Harrison Avenue.Osmond and his sons, Joseph and William Trask, claimed most of theland bordred by Cabot Street (Route 22) and Route 1A into the 1700's

The Traske Family of the Massachusetts Bay Plantation Juel M. Trask
P.O. Box 397, Encampment, Wyoming 82325

The Trask family was one of the earliest families to immigrated to theMassachusetts Bay Plantation. Four members of the Traske family ofthe village of East Coker, Somerset England came to the Bay Plantationduring the early years, Capt. William Traske, Osmond Traske, JohnTraske and Henry Traske. Other Traske family members may have comeover later but these four men were the early immigrants.

The first of the family to arrive was Capt. William Trask. William wasat the Cape Ann fishing station before the settlement moved to theSalem site. William Blake Trask wrote a series of articles for the NewEngland Historical and Genealogical Register on the Traske family.Capt. William Traske's life has been well-documented by William BlakeTrask. Capt. William was the military leader of the Bay Plantation.His home was in Salem village. Salem Village later changed its name toDanvers because of all the negative publicity caused by the WitchTrials. Capt. Wm. Traske had a cemetery originally called the TraskeBurying grounds. He also operated a windmill for grinding grain.

Osmond Traske arrived later than Capt. William Traske. W. R. Cutter inhis work Genealogical and Personal Memoirs relating to Families of theState of Massachusetts, wrote that Capt. William Traske and OsmondTraske were probably brothers. William Blake Trask published in theJuly 1900 issue of the NEHGR, the extracts of the registers of EastCoker, Somerset. Analyzing these registers indicates that Capt.William Traske and Osmond Traske were most likely cousins. OsmondTraske settled on the Beverly side of the River.

The third early Traske was John Traske sr. He settled first at Beverlyand moved to Lexington, Massachusetts in 1715. There is evidence toindicate that he may have been Osmond Traske's nephew. A number ofJohn Traske's descendants died at the revolutionary war battle atLexington. The Rev. Nathaniel Trask, who became the pastor of theCongregationalist Church of Brentwood, N.H. in 1749 was John Traskesr.'s grandson. R. D. Trask wrote a "History And Genealogy of theTrask Family including the Lineal Ancestors of the Rev. NathanielTrask" in 1877. R. D. Trask had John Traske as the son of OsmondTraske of Beverly. This most likely is incorrect as John Traske sr.appears to be Osmond Traske's nephew not his son.

Henry Traske was the fourth immigrant Traske. Henry came on the ship"Mary and John" in 1634. Henry Traske married Mary Southwick. MarySouthwick Traske was a Quaker and was persecuted because of this. Shewas outspoken and spent much time in Jail. Henry and Mary had one son,Henry, who was stomped to death by Captain Locker. One of theirdaughters, Sarah was killed by the Indians at Haverhill.

One of the interesting things you run across from time to time is theuse of the name Trask in fictional works about witchcraft. As far as Ihave been able to find, the main connection of the Traske family tothe Salem Witch trials was in their frequent marriage to persons ofthe Putnam family. Ann Putnam was one of the twelve girls who accusedpeople of being witches. The Putnam family was one of the few familiesat the Bay Plantation with landed roots in England and also one of thewealthy familys of the Bay Plantation. The de Puttenham family couldtrace their ancestry back to Charlemagne. Generals' Israel Putnam andRufus Putnam were heroes of the Revolutionary War. My branch of theTrask family have always been proud of their relationship to thePutnam Family. The name Putnam still survives today as a Christianname in my Trask line. My great-great-great grandfather, Sampson Trasknamed my great-great grandfather Thomas Putnam Trask in honor of hismother Ann Putnam Trask (not the infamous Ann). One of my own sons Inamed Thomas Putnam Trask in honor of his great-great-greatgrandfather.

Another interesting connection of the Traske family of the BayPlantation to the witch trials, is found in the transcripts of thetrial of Bridgett Bishop. At Bridgett Bishop's trial, there wastestimony that Bridgett Bishop had bewitched Christina Woodbury Traskeand caused Christina to commit suicide by cutting her throat with adull pair of scissors. According the testimony of Reverend John Haleat the trial, Bridgett Bishop and ChristianWoodbury Traske had aconfrontational relationship and had argued on many occasions. He feltthat Christain would have had to have been under some powerful outsideinfluence to have killed herself with a pair of scissors.

In their book, "Salem Possessed," Paul Boyer and Stephen Nissenbaumhave this to say about Bridget Bishop. In 1685 Bridget Oliver of SalemTown married her third husband - old Edward Bishop, one of thefounders of the Beverly Church - and moved from the center of town tohis house on the Ipswich Road in Salem Villiage. (The Bishops retainedthe title to Bridget's house in the town, however, and derived incomefrom it as a rental property.) Having already built up a longreputation for aggressive behavior in petty commercial transactions,Bridget soon turned the Bishop house into a place of late-nightconviviality where she sold cider manufactured from apples grown inher private orchard. As one witness put it, Bridget "did entertainpeople in her house at unseasonal hours in the night to keep drinkingand playing at suffleboard, whereby discord did arise in otherfamilies, and young people were in danger to be corrupted.

No Traske testified at Bridget Bishops trial for witchcraft, whichoccured two years after Christian Woodbury had killed herself. BridgetBishop was an outsider in the period of witchcraft hysteria and madean easy target for the absurd accusation that she had caused ChristianWoodbury Traske to kill herself, by bewitching her.

These four men are the early Traske immigrants from East Coker,Somerset, England. Capt. William, Osmond, John Traske sr., and Henryall had large families and have many descendants today in the USA andCanada.

The Trask family ranks as one of the smallest families in the world,when compared to the numbers of people of a given surname, yet theTrask (de Thresk) family has continued since the twelfth century.They survived the black plague of the fourteenth century and otherpestilences for close to a millennium.

Humphrey Woodbury likely arrived early in New Englandwith his father, settling first at Cape Ann and then at Salem in 1626.He probably stayed at Salem when his father returned to England thefollowing year.

On Jan 16, 1637, Salem granted 1/2 an acre of land to HumphreyWoodbury at Winter Harbor to build upon and carry on a fishing trade.Seven others were granted the same size lot at the same time.("History of Salem," Vol 1, Sidney Perley, 1926, pg. 375). He wasadmitted to the church at Salem in July 1643 and admitted Freeman inabout 1678, according to Savage. All his children were baptized atSalem, although he later became one of the founders of he church atBeverly and was its first deacon.

According to Savage, Humphrey's will was dated 4 March 1686 and wasproved 11 Oct 1686.

Elizabeth came on the ship "Blessing" from London July, 1635 at age18, along with William, 11, Christian, age 20 and Thomas, age 14.Savage speculates that they were all under the care of anotherpassenger of a diferent name, unidentified. Mrs. John E. Barclay in"Notes on the Hollingsworth, Hunter, More and Woodbury Families ofSalem, Mass.," The American Genealogist, Vol. 40, 1964: pg. 80presents a convincing argument that the Hunter children came on the"Blessing" with the family of Richard Hollingsworth and, were,perhaps, step-children of Richard Hollingsworth, Sr.

Elizabeth's will was dated 1 May 1689, had a codicil dated 8 Aug 1689and was proved 26 Nov 1689 at Salem. In it only 2 sons are named, Johnand William, and the three daughters are named.

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

They were a very early Quaker family and Samuel was imprisoned alongwith some of the early Quakers when they were being severelypersecuted. He went back to England and got a dispensation from theking that allowed him to return to Mass and not to remove his hat tohonor the high and mighty there. John Greenleaf Whittier wrote a poemabout him and his courage

THE KING'S MISSIVE
1661 by John Greenleaf Whittier

Under the great hill sloping bare
To cove and meadow and Common lot,
In his council chamber and oaken chair,
Sat the worshipful Governor Endicott.
A grave, strong man, who knew no peer,
In the Pilgrim land, where he ruled in fear
Of God, not man, and for good or ill
Held his trust with an iron will.

He had shorn with his sword the cross from out
The flag and cloven the may-pole down,
Harried the heathen round about
And whipped the Quakers from town to town.

His brow was clouded, his eye was stern,
With a look of mingled sorrow and wrath;
"Woe's me," he murmured: "at every turn
The pestilent Quakers are in my path!
Some we have scourged, and banished some,
Some hanged, more doomed, and still they come,
Fast as the tide of yon bay sets in,
Sowing their heresy's seed of sin.

"Did we count on this? Did we leave behind
The graves of our kin, the comfort and ease
Of our English hearths and homes, to find
Troublers of Israel such as these?
Shall I spare? Shall I pity them? God forbid!
I will do as the prophet to Agag did:
They come to poison the wells of the Word,
I will hew them in pieces before the Lord!"

The door swung open, and Rawson the clerk
Entered, and whispered under breath,
"There waits below for the hangman's work
A fellow banished on pain of death--
Shattuck, of Salem, unhealed of the whip,
Brought over in Master Goldsmith's ship
At anchor here in a Christian port,
With freight of the devil and all his sort!"

Twice and thrice on the chamber floor
Striding fiercely from wall to wall,
"The Lord do so to me and more,"
The Governor cried, "if I hang not all!"
Bring hither the Quaker." Calm, sedate,
With the look of a man at ease with fate,

Into that presence, grim and dread, Came Samuel Shattuck, with hat onhead.

"Off with the knave's hat!" An angry hand
Smote down the offence; but the wearer said,
With a quiet smile, "By the king's command
I bear his message and stand in his stead."
In the Governor's hand a missive he laid
With the royal arms on its seal displayed,
And the proud man spake as he gazed thereat,
Uncovering, "Give Mr. Shattuck his hat."

He turned to the Quaker, bowing low,--
"The king commandeth your friends' release;
Doubt not he shall be obeyed, although
To his subjects' sorrow and sin's increase.
What he here enjoineth, John Endicott,
His loyal servant, questioneth not.
You are free! God grant the spirit you own
May take you from us, to parts unknown."

So the door of the jail was open cast,
And like Daniel out of the lion's den
Tender youth and girlhood passed,
With age-bowed women and gray-locked men.
And the voice of one appointed to die
Was lifted in praise and thanks on high.

Broad in the sunshine stretched away
With its capes and islands, the turquoise bay...
But as they who see not, the Quakers saw
The world about them; they only thought
With deep thanksgiving and pious awe
On the great deliverance God had wrought.
Through lane and alley the gazing town
Noisily followed them up and down;
Some with scoffing and brutal jeer,
Some with pity and words of cheer.

So passed the Quakers through Boston town,
Whose painful ministers sighed to see
The walls of their sheep-fold falling down,
And wolves of heresy prowling free.
But the years went on and brought no wrong;
With milder counsel the State grew strong,
As outward Letter and inward Light
Kept the balance of truth aright

When Holder arrived at the Salem Congregational Church, he listened tothe sermon of the day, then arose from the rear of the church tochallenge what had been said and present Quaker alternatives. One ofEndicott's men seized Holder, hurled him bodily to the floor of thechurch and stuffed a leather glove and handkerchief down his throat.Holder turned blue, gagged, and gasped for life. He was close to deathwhen Samuel Shattuck, a member of the congregation, pushed Endicott'sman aside and retrieved the glove and handkerchief from Holder'sthroat and worked hard to resuscitate him. A lifelong friendshipbetween Shattuck and Holder started at that moment.

Holder, Copeland and Shattuck were all taken to Boston prison.Shattuck was freed by paying a 20 shilling bond. Holder and Copelandwere brought before Endicott who ordered that each should have thirtylashes. After several months, they were released from prison, but weresoon to return.

The secretary being called, a mandamus was forthwith granted. A day ortwo after, Edward Burrough going again to the King to desire thematter might be expedited, the King said he had no occasion at presentto send a ship thither, but if we would send one we might do it assoon as we would. Edward then asked the King if it would please him togrant his deputation to one called a Quaker to carry the mandamus toNew England. He said, "Yes, to whom ye will."
Whereupon Edward Burrough named Samuel Shattuck, who, being aninhabitant of New England, was banished by their law, to be hanged ifhe came again; and to him the deputation was granted. Then he sent forRalph Goldsmith, an honest Friend, who was master of a good ship, andagreed with him for three hundred pounds (goods or no goods) to sailin ten days. He forthwith prepared to set sail, and with a prosperousgale, in about six weeks' time, arrived before the town of Boston inNew England, upon a First-day morning.
With him went many passengers, both of New and Old England, Friends,whom the Lord moved to go to bear their testimony against those bloodypersecutors, who had exceeded all the world in that age in theirbloody persecutions.
The townsmen at Boston, seeing a ship come into the bay with Englishcolours, soon came on board and asked for the captain. Ralph Goldsmithtold them he was the commander. They asked him if he had any letters.He said, "Yes." They asked if he would deliver them. He said, "No; notto-day."
So they went ashore and reported that there was a ship full ofQuakers, and that Samuel Shattuck, who they knew was by their law tobe put to death if he came again after banishment, was among them, butthey knew not his errand nor his authority.
So all were kept close that day, and none of the ship's companysuffered to go on shore. Next morning Samuel Shattuck, the King'sdeputy, and Ralph Goldsmith, went on shore, and, sending back to theship the men that landed them, they two went through the town toGovernor John Endicott's door, and knocked. He sent out a man to knowtheir business. They sent him word that their business was from theKing of England, and that they would deliver their message to no onebut the Governor himself.
Thereupon they were admitted, and the Governor came to them; andhaving received the deputation and the mandamus, he put off his hatand looked upon them. Then, going out, he bade the Friends follow him.He went to the deputy-governor, and after a short consultation cameout to the Friends, and said, "We shall obey his majesty's commands."
After this the master gave liberty to the passengers to come on shore,and presently the noise of the business flew about the town; and theFriends of the town and the passengers of the ship met together tooffer up their praises and thanksgivings to God, who had sowonderfully delivered them from the teeth of the devourer.
While they were thus met, in came a poor Friend, who, being sentencedby their bloody law to die, had lain some time in irons expectingexecution. This added to their joy, and caused them to lift up theirhearts in high praise to God, who is worthy for ever to have thepraise, the glory, and the honour; for He only is able to deliver, tosave, and support all that sincerely put their trust in Him. Herefollows a copy of the mandamus.

"Charles R.
"Trusty and well-beloved, We greet you well. Having been informed thatseveral of our subjects amongst you, called Quakers, have been and areimprisoned by you, whereof some have been executed, and others (ashath been represented unto us) are in danger to undergo the like, wehave thought fit to signify our pleasure in that behalf for thefuture; and do hereby require that if there be any of those peoplecalled Quakers amongst you, now already condemned to suffer death orother corporal punishment, or that are imprisoned and obnoxious to thelike condemnation, you are to forbear to proceed any further therein;but that you forthwith send the said persons (whether condemned orimprisoned) over into this our kingdom of England, together with therespective crimes or offenses laid to their charge, to the end thatsuch course may be taken with them here as shall be agreeable to ourlaws and their demerits.

Named in the 1614 will of James Clarke of East Farleigh, Kent Co.,England, as Clarke's servant. He inherited a house and lands in theparish of
Marden, Kent, so he was apparently a "servant" of high rank.

Dolor arrived in America about 1634 and was initially at Cambridge inthe summer of 1634, along with Simon Willard, his wife's brother. The"Willard
Memoir" indicates that Dolor likely immigrated in the same fleet asSimon & Margery Willard, arriving at Boston in May, 1634. Dolor had ahouse-lot
on Water Street in Cambridge and own some out-land, contiguous withSimon Willard, on the west side of the Charles River. Dolor sold thisout-land
in 1635, perhaps to go to Scituate where his brother-in-law GeorgeWillard had settled, as Dolor was there in 1639. Dolor next settled atBarnstable
in 1640 where he was granted 50 acres of upland at Namassacuset Riverwith a proportion of meadow. In 1643 he and his sons were on the listof those
of age to bear arms (between 16 & 60). Dolor was of the grand inquestof Plymouth Colony in 1645 and was admitted Freeman in 1646. Heapparently
lived in Duxbury for a time, as he and his wife were dismissed fromthe church there to the church in Barnstable Aug 27, 1648. In 1652 hewas one of
the highway surveyors in Barnstable and was constable there in 1654.He was a carpenter by profession and a master builder.

Dolor was named a Selectman for the new town of Groton, MA May, 1655,but it's not believed, according to "Willard Memoir" that he everactually
lived in Groton. He was granted land at Concord in 1659, but was atBarnstable again about 1665-66, where he died in 1673.

His will was dated 13 Sept. 1672 and was proved 2 July 1673.

Captain Dolar Davis landed in Boston May 1634. In August, he wasgranted lands in Cambridge, MA (about where Harvard College is today).In April of
1628, Margery (wife) and 3 children embarked from London for NewEngland on the "Elizabeth." Owned lands in Dunbry in 1640. Had otherlands granted
him. Took part in founding Barnstable, MA. One of 20 who had landsgranted him in Concord, MA. Perhaps of all the families which came toNew
England, none can be selected more worthy of our esteem andunqualified appreciation than that of Capt. Dolar Davis.

"Genealogical Notes of Barnstable Families",pgs.289-303 " In 1643,five of the name of Davis were "able to bear arms" in Barnstable, viz:Dolor or
Dollard and his sons,John,Nicholas,Simon, and in Yarmouth, RobertDavis, afterward of Barnstable. Dr. Palfrey informed Mr. Savage thatthe graves of
the ancestors of Dolor Davis were at Benefield, Northamptonshire,England, and that was probably his native town. He married as early as1618,
Margery, daughter of Richard Willard, of Horsemondon, in the county ofKent, where all his sons were born, and perhaps his daughter Mary.

He came over in 1634, in company with his brother-in-law ,Major SimonWillard, a man of note in the history of the Massachusetts Colony. Hestopped
first at Cambridge, and in 1635 was one of the first settlers, and hada house lot on water street. He sold his lands in Cambridge in 1636,and
removed. He was also one of the proprietors of the lands in Concord.In 1638, he was of Duxbury, April6,1640,lands and meadows were grantedhim and
others, at North Hill, in that town, and on the 31st of Augustfollowing, he granted to him fifty acres of upland, and a proportionof meadows on
the Namassacuset River. May,1641,he was bondsman for George Willard ofScituate, and is called of that town.

August,1643,he and his sons were included among those able to beararms in Barnstable. He probably came to Barnstable in 1639 with thefirst
settlers,though he did not make it the place of his permanentresidence until 1642/43. He was a carpenter,and master builder,his sonJohn was also a
carpenter, and his sons Nicholas, Simon, and Samuel, probably assistedtheir father. This fact furnishes an explanation of his frequentremovals
from place to place. In the new settlements he found more employmentthan in the older. It did not, however, require much time to constructthe rude
dwellings of our ancestors.

Neither Dolor or his sons were ambitious of political distinction. In1642 he was on the jury of trials, in 1645 a grand juror; but wasexcused from
serving on account of sickness, in 1652 surveyor of highways, and in1654, constable.

In 1655 he removed to Concord. He was one of the original proprietorsof Groton, and he and Mr. Thomas Hinkley of Barnstable, were of thefirst
Board of Selectmen appointed by the Legislature May 23,1655, and tohold office two years. The selectmen managed the prudential affairs ofthe
town,laid out the lots, and disposed of them to the first settlers.

In 1656,Dolor Davis was a resident of Concord, and in receipt datedApril 9, of that year, calls himself of that town. In a deed executedin that
town July 17,1658, describes himself as a house carpenter late ofBarnstable. Feb.16,1667/68, he had returned to Barnstable, where hedied June
1673, aged about 80 years.

Dolor Davis's house lot was the most northerly on the east side of theancient Mill Waym discontinued in 1669. In his deed to Abraham Blush,dated
July 17, 1658, he says,"all my house lott of lands lying by a placecommonly called Old Mill Creek". His house stood not far from thewater mill
built by the first settlers on the spot where the present mill stands.

selectmen, appointed by the General Court.

South Sts, rem. to Groton, granted August 4, 1634 and 25 acres of landand sold the land on August 25, 1635. He may have gone to Concord. AtDuxbury
1638, Scituate 1639, Barnstable 1640, Concord 1655 and back toBarnstable where he died, 1673. He built Tidewater dam and mill atBarnstable, which
was torn down about 1900.

Amos Otis, a historian of the Cape families, wrote of him in theBarnstable Patriot, 1863: "Perhaps among all the families coming toNew England,
not one can be selected more deserving of our esteem and unqualifiedapprobation than that of Dolor Davis. As a man, he was honest,industrious,
prudent. As a Christian, tolerant and exact in the performance of hisreligious duties; as a neighbor, kind, obliging, and ever ready tohelp those
who needed asssistance; and as a father and the head of his family, hewas constantly solicitous for the welfare of all its members,cultivating
those kindly feelings and ameneties of life which render homedelightful."

Source: One Line of Descendants from Dolar Davis and Richard Everett,by Mrs. William Sumner Crosby, 1911, p. 8 There is much uncertaintyabout
Dolor Davis and family ever having had a residence in Cambridge. Hesold the house-lot in August, 1635. He moved, with considerablepersistence,
from place to place during nearly all of his life, possibly becausethis frequent change in residence gave him a better opportunity topursue his
trade as a carpenter.

The will recites that he has already provided for his sons Simon andSamuel; and then he bequeaths his house and land in Concord to hisson, John,
adding, "I also bequeath to him my carpenters tools and serge suit andcloke." The inventory of estate in Concord was "L125 5s. 7d." That hemade a
favorable impression on others is shown by the following:

"Perhaps of all the families which came to New England, not one can beselected more worthy of our esteem, and unqualified approbation thanthat of
Dolor Davis. As a man he was honest, industrious and prudent; as aChristian tolerant and exact in the performance of his religiousduties; as a
neighbor kind, obliging, and ever ready to help those who needed hisassistance; and as a father and the head of his family he wasconstantly

"Barnstable Families")

Source: Dolor Davis by Horace Davis, 1811: On the 13th of September,1672, the old man made the following will: -

"I, Dolar Davis of Barnstable in the Colony of New Plymouth being weakand crazy in body but of perfect mind and memory do make this my lastwill

"Know all Men by these Presents that I Dolor Davis of Barnstable inthe Colony of New Plymouth do ratify and confirm this my last Will and
Testament, which is signed and sealed in the presence of Thomas Brownabove mentioned, only I do further declare that I do give unto my sonJohn
Davis twenty acres of Woodland which is by the twenty-seven acreswhich belongeth unto twenty men, or did belong unto them in the Townof Concord in
the Colony of Massachusetts which land is not mentioned in my Willabove written. As also I do give my red mare unto my wife Joanna,which is not
before disposed of, this thirteenth of September in the year of ourLord one thousand, six hundred, seventy and two. "DOLOR DAVIS and aseal "Signed
and sealed in the presence of "NATHANIEL BACON, JUN. "SAMUEL BACON."

"This will above mentioned was acknowledged by Dolor Davis to be hislast Will and Testament, according as it is witnessed in both placesand sealed
before me. "NATHANIEL BACON, J.P. Court."

It will be observed that all the real estate bequeathed in this willlies in the town of Concord, and is left entirely to his son John,though
burdened with certain charges. He says, "I have already given my sonSymon and Samuel their full portions and deeds for their lands which Ihave
settled upon them." He speaks of this "dwelling-house in Barnstable,"but only disposes of his "bedding, pewter and brass and otherhousehold
stuff," contained in it to his daughter Mary Lewis. Whatever realestate he had acquired at Barnstable since his return he must havedisposed of
before making this will, and very likely to his son John, as we knowfrom Otis that John afterwards owned the dwelling-house which had beenhis
father's. Indeed, the spot where it stood has always been in thepossession of John's descendants and is t-day, though the oldhomestead was torn
down long ago.

Amid all this dry detail of dates and transfers of property we gainbut little insight into the real character of the man, or of hisrelations to
his neighbors and his family. We discern dimly the figures of apioneer, bold and hardy to encounter the privations of frontier life,restlessly
moving from place to place, yet withal industrious, patient, andfrugal, accumulating a moderate independence in property, providingcarefully for
the wants of his family, and with affectionate forethought dividinghis substance among his children during his own life that they mightbegin the
race with a fair start.

He was possessed of some education, as we may judge from his closerelations with such men as Willard and Hincley while his signaturesare always
autographs at a time when the art of writing was by no meansuniversal.

It is a little singular that among those persons nearest to him,George Willard, his brother-in-law, was a variance with the church andemigrate to
Maryland; Nicholas Davis, reputed to be his son or brother, wasobliged to remove to Rhode Island, where he joined the Quakers; whileDolor's second
wife, Joanna, was daughter of Rev. Joseph Hull, who was driven fromPlymouth Colony for preaching without a license, and sister of Capt.Tristram
Hull, who was fined for befriending Quakers. Coupling these facts withhis long delay in joining Barnstable Church, I have suspected that hedid not
sympathize fully with the rigid discipline of the church, and that hisfailure to become a freeman of Massachusetts Colony during his longresidence
there, and his departure from that Colony.

1. RICHARD1 SAWTELL1,2 was born 1604 in Aller, Somersetshire,England3, and died April 21, 1694 in Watertown, Middlesex Co.,Massachusetts3. He married (1) ELIZABETH POPLE3 February 05, 1626/27in High Ham, Somersetshire, England3. He married (2) ELIZABETHWAITE3,4 early summer 1637, daughter of PHINEAS WAITE and MARYHUBBARD.
In Somersetshire, England, records contain data on the Sawtell familybefore the reign of Queen Elizabeth in 1558. According to thoserecords, it is evident that Richard Sawtell, the immigrant farmer wasborn in Aller, Somertsetshire in 1604. He appears to be theprogenitor of most of the Sartwell families in New England and the US.
He came to Massachusetts with the early settlers along with his wifeand probably his brother Thomas. Anna Sawtell was probably his sisterand was noted in Boston as early as 1639. Richard arrived inWatertown where he was made freeman about 1635, five years after theestablishment of Watertown by the General Court of Massachusetts Bay.On July 25, 1636 he was one of the early proprietors of Watertown, andlived there from 1636 to 1661. In Watertown he was allowed 1 acre ofland on Feb.28, 1637, indicating he was then a single man.
In 1661 Richard had a 20 acre right in Groton, which was formed out ofthe plantation of Patatawag. He settled in Groton with his sonsJonathan and Zachariah. He became a proprietor of Groton, and waschosen the first Town Clerk, serving in 1662, '63 and '64. Hisrecords there prove him to have been a scholar. He served all throughthe Indian massacres which made the name of Groton one to kindleterror.
Richard Sawtell's home was one of the five garrison houses in Groton.On March 13, 1676 Groton was burned during King Philip's War and theinhabitants were driven out. Richard returned to Watertown withseveral of his children. He served as Selectman there in 1689.
Richard Sawtell executed his will on May 16, 1692, and died atWatertown Aug. 21, 1694, an "aged man". His estate amounted to 147pounds, 11 shillings, with land in Watertown and a 20 acre right inGroton. He gave the lands to his wife Elizabeth for life, with hisson Obadiah to improve the lands in Groton, and his son Enoch to do soin Watertown. Elizabeth died 2 months later on Oct. 18, 1694. Thesons took over their respective properties. (The Howe, Willard andSartwell Families of Vernon, VT)

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

JOHN HILL is first mentioned in the Dorchester Massachusetts Recordsas early as 1633/4 with land granted in February 1634 and March 18,1638. There is no evidence that he was a member of the Puritan Church,and the style of his will is different from that popular among thereligious Puritan colonists. Not having been a church member, he couldnot have been a freeman, and there is no record of his having held anypublic offices. It is possible that JOHN was a blacksmith, butinventory of his estate indicates that he was a farmer.
His residence after 1644, was part of Dorchester called Uncaty, andlater set apart as Milton. On February 13, 1735/34 relatives of allhis children who had heirs sold out their interests in his rights inthe undivided lands in Stoughton, (Suffolk County Deeds).
JOHN HILL of the Great Lotts departed out of this life the 31st day ofMay, 1664. His will was written on 11 April,1550 and metions eldestson John Hill, son Samuel who had been helpful to him in his infirmdays, daughter Mary who had received her portion and friends ThomasTilestone and John Minot. The bulk of the estate was left to his wifeFRANCES, "for her maintenance and the upbringing of my children. WhenFRANCES died, jthe property was to be divided among the nine youngestchildren, or such of them as survived. The inventory mentions horses,cattle, swine, crops, and "husbandry" tools, value of estate 287pounds, 1 shilling, no pence (Suffolk County Probate)

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

The earliest mention of a Whipple is probably an entry in the DomesdayBook (A.D. 1086), the record of a tax levied shortly after the NormanConquest of 1066. (In the Domesday Book, the spelling was "Winple.")Several centuries later, a nobleman named Henri de Hipple lived in theold duchy of Normandy. Henri fought for King Henry V at the Battle ofAgincourt in 1415, for which he was knighted and awarded lands in thecounty of Norfolk. His family's name was changed to Whipple during thereign of Henry VIII (1509-1547). The Whipple name continues inmodern-day England.

Most present-day Whipples are probably descendants of immigrants tocolonial America from England in the early 1600s. At least two groupsof Whipples settled in America at that time. One is represented byCaptain John Whipple, who settled in Providence, Rhode Island, afterliving for a period of time in Dorchester, Massachusetts. The othergroup is represented by John and Matthew Whipple (sons of Matthew "theElder" Whipple), who migrated from Bocking, Essex, England, andsettled in Ipswich, Massachusetts. Among the descendants of this groupare U.S. Presidents, social reformers, inventors, manufacturers,statesmen, explorers, and many others.

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

Augustus W. Corliss, 'A Genealogical Record of the Corliss Family ofAmerica', Yarmouth ME 1875 p. 3, 201-206, 233-235 George was born incounty Devon, England, about 1617. Corliss reports that an old familyrecord gave his father as Thomas Corliss of Devonshire, but that noother sources he had searched had given the same, or any other,information on this point. George came to this country in 1639 andsettled that year at Newbury MA, but soon afterward moved to HaverhillMA, where he was a farmer, and resided until his death 1686. NEHGR14:337 states that about the year 1635, the custom of
registering the names of emigrants from England to America wasdiscontinued, and only the number of persons carried by each vesselwas recorded. No record has been found naming George Corliss as a
passenger. George had land at Haverhill by 1640, and built a log houseupon it in 1647. This tract was in the 'West Parish' of Haverhill, andthe farm became known as 'Poplar Lawn'. When Corliss
wrote in 1875, the property had continuously belonged to George'sdescendants. George Corliss married Joanna Davis at Haverhill MA 26Oct 1645. This was the second marriage in the town. There is atradition in the family, to the effect that at the time of hismarriage, George Corliss was possessed of a pair of silk breeches ofsuch generous proportions that his wife afterwards converted them intoa dress for herself. In 1645, George Corliss was a freeman atHaverhill MA. On 22 Jan 1648, and again in 1657, 1669-70, and 1679, hewas chosen selectman. On 26 Mar 1650 he was chosen constable. 'It is afact worthy of record, that George Corliss, his son John, and hisgrandson John, all died on the same farm, and each one when sitting inthe same chair. George's will was dated 18 Oct 1686, and he died thenext day. He signed his will by his mark, rather than by signature,probably because of weakness. (A copy of his signature from 1653 hasbeen preserved.) He made bequests of land to each of his children. Theinventory, dated 26 Oct 1686, included 482 acres of land, livestock,plow iron and other iron wear; cotton,
linen and woolen yard and 9 pounds of wool; butter and cheese; wheatand Indian corn; 10 pounds of hops; and a variety of other householdpossessions. On 27 October 1686, 'Johanah Corles' attested to thetruth of the inventory and was granted administration of her husband'sestate. She signed by mark. A picture of Poplar Lawn, the familyhomestead, as it appeared in 1875, is facing p. 233.

BIRTH-FATHER-RESIDENCE: Lee and Mae Corless, 'A Family Study,Descendants of Jesse and Polly (Chase) Corless...' 1980, p. 17-18: 'AReginald de Corlies was active at the Siege of Jerusalem during
the Second Crusale which occurred during the period 1147 - 1188 A.D.Some of the Corlies family emigrated from Belgium to England in the17th Century because of severe religious persecution which took placeover an extended period of time....' The name in England has beenvariously spelled CORLIES, CORLASS, CORLISS and CORLESS. 'The firstCorless (or Corliss, both spellings are found in print) that we foundon record on this Continent was George, son of Thomas, born inDevonshire, England about 1617. He emigrated to New England in 1639,settled in Newbury, Mass., and moved to Haverhill where heremained...'

George Wingate Chase, 'The History of Haverhill, Massachusetts', NewEngland History Press 1983, p. 60, 72 'George Corliss came fromEngland to Newbury about the year 1639, being at the time about
twenty-two years of age. He is believed to be the first one of thename who came to this country, and the ancestor of most if not all ofthat name in New England.... 'Corliss was an enterprising andindustrious man, and well qualified to take a prominent part in thesettlement of a new town. He settled in the West Parish, on the farmof the late Ephraim Corliss, now owned by his son Charles, who is ofthe seventh generation from the original grantee -- and at his deathwas possessed of a large landed property. He owned most of the land onboth sides of the old 'Spicket Path,' as it was then called, for adistance of more than three miles.' Facing p. 60 is a picture ofPoplar Lawn, the estate of Charles Corliss.

He immigrated toAmerica, as nearly as can be ascertained, in 1639; and proceeded toNewbury. About 1640-41 he settled in Haverhill, where on 26 Oct 1645he married Joanna Davis, a native of Wales. His was the secondmarriage in Haverhill. Tradition has it that, when married, he had apair of silk breeches, which his wife afterward made into a dress forherself. In 1647, Mr. Corliss built a log house on his farm, aboutthree miles west of the little settlement. The dwelling was erected ona sunny knoll, close by a small brook. In 1885, traces of its cellarwere still visible. His will was dated 18 Oct 1686 and he died 19 Oct1686, leaving a wife, one son and seven daughters

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

"ISAAC3 (William1), was born Feb. 25, 1623, in Bermondsey parish,
county Surrey, England, and probably came with his father to this
country, when about seven or eight years old. He probably went with
his father, when about seventeen or eighteen years old, from
Charlestown to Woburn. He married, at Woburn, July 9, 1646, Mary,
daughter of Isaac Sternes, of Watertown, who was born in England and
bapt. Jan. 26, 1626, in the parish of Nayland, Suffolk. April 2, 1652,
he sold his house and lands in Woburn to Bartholomew Pierson, of
Watertown, and removed to Chelmsford, where he died, Nov. 27, 1657.
(County records say Dec. 4.) His inventory, dated Dec. 7, 1657,
amounted to £187 18s. 6d. April 6, 1658, administration was granted to
widow Mary and her father, Isaac Sterne. Estate was indebted to Widow
Learnett £3 per annum during widowhood. (For the inventory, see
appendix B.) The record of his marriage is in the Woburn records,
although his wife came from Watertown.

"Lands were repeatedly laid out for him in Woburn, both before and
after his father's death. The last time his name appears in the
records is when he was appointed, Jan. 4, 1651-2, on a committee to
lay out a drift way for cattle, etc., through Henry Brock's lot, near
Horn pond.

"He was chosen one of the selectmen of Chelmsford, Dec. 22, 1654;
sergeant of the (train) band March 24, 1656; a committee to lay out
certain meadow lands, Jan. 11, 1656. App. Comm to decide small cases
at Chelmsford.

"In the office of the Secretary of State, Boston, vol. 112, p. 80, is
a petition signed by him for a grant of additional land to Chelmsford,
dated May 7, 1656. A petition from Woburn, signed by him, "Isaac
Larnitt," and by others, is printed in Mass. Hist. Coll., 3d series,
vol. i, p. 38 to 45; in which the petitioners remonstrate against an
order forbidding any person to undertake a constant course of
preaching, or prophesying, without the approbation of the elders of
the four next churches or of the County Court.

"The Chelmsford records contain several grants of land to him. At page
162 is a record of such land, including house lot, upland and meadow,
purporting to have been originally granted January 26, 1659, and
attested as follows: "A true copy of the original in Town Book, page
58, and here entered this 20th of June, 1705;" also on the same page a
copy of a similar grant of thirty acres, originally made Oct, 24,
1664. Feb. 9, 1708, thirty acres of land, of the heirs of Isaac
Larned, apparently the same last mentioned, laid out at further
Tadmuck, were exchanged for another tract (page 147). At page 164 aer
given the bounds of the meadow of Isaac Larnard lying at Great
Tadmuck. At page 165 the renewal of the bounds between lot of Isaac
Larned and Joseph Parker, lying in the pine plain near the Crain
meadow, dated January 29, 1711, recorded Feb. 1, 1711. Under date of
Nov. 24, 1665, John Parker, Isaac Learned and Thomas Chamberline,
"sometime inhabitants of Woburn," planters, sell to George Farley, of
Billerica, sundry parcels of land in Billerica, which they bought of
Thomas Dudley, Esq., dec'd. But this deed is not executed by Isaac
Learned. (Register of Deeds, Middlesex, vol. iii, p. 181.) His widow,
Mary, was married to John Burg, late of Weymouth, June 7, 1662, by
Capt. Johnson, of Woburn. (Records of Chelmsford.) The proposed
division of Isaac Learned's estate, April 1, 1662, signed by Mary
Learned and Isaac Sterne, had been witnessed by John Burg. (Middlesex
Court Files, p. 141 1/2.) April 7, 1664, the court allowed the
division of the estate between John Burg and the children of Isaac
Learned. (id. vol. 2,p. 5), and following this is an "inventory of the
estate belonging to Mary Lernet, widow, now in the hands of John Burg,
of Chelmsford," her surviving husband, dated Dec. 21, 1663, and
amounting to £222. She must, therefore, have died within eighteen
months after her second marriage. 1673, Sept. 23, there was a division
of the estate of Isaac Learned."

John Newton, Sr., was a proprietor in Marlborough in 1660. November 26of that year the inhabitants laid out their house- lots. John, withhis father, had been in the township two or three years previous tothis division, which was rather a confirmation than an original grant.His house-lot comprised sixteen acres.
In 1664 there appears to have been a disturbance in the civil andecclesiastical relations of the town, in the perfecting or forfeitureof the titles to the several house-lots-grants for taxes-time forpayment of rates, etc. Seventeen of the inhabitants asked the GeneralCourt to appoint a committee with full power to settle all theirdifficulties. John Newton and his father were among those opposed tothe appointment of a committee, alleging: "We are willing, with ourpersons and estates, to uphold the Authority of the Country, and dotherefore desire the liberty of the law which gives towns power totransact their own affairs."
John Newton, Sr., could claim all the rights in the lands of the town,as a proprietor, that went with sixteen acres. At the same time he didnot share in the second division of upland. Against his name in thatdivision are the words "none due."
Of the first division of meadows, eight acres; second division ofmeadows, six and one-fourth acres, 24 rods; of Cedar Swamp eightacres; equal to 22 1/4 acres 24 rods. He did not share in ColdHarbour, Middle and Chauncey Meadows, as did his father. Of course atthis time 1663+ he was a young man just coming of age. His rate forthe minister was 6 shillings 8 pence. John Newton's name is not amongthose who got the deed of the Indians, for the Indian Plantation, in1684.
During the Indian troubles that ended in 1713 his family was assignedto No. 6, Isaac Howe's Garrison, on the Southborough Road.
In 1688, the taxes under Governor Andros for John Newton, Sr. "forpersons and estate," 00-l1-05 pounds.
John Newton, Sr., made his will four years before his death. His wifewas living at the time, but he makes no mention of her. She died thesame year, aged 78. Neither does he mention his son Nathaniel anddaughter Experience. He makes his grandson, Gershom Newton (son of hisson Samuel), residuary legatee and sole executor; and Gershom, withhis uncle, John Newton, Jr., gives bond in 100 pounds each, for theperformance of the trust. In his will, John Newton, Sr., signs withhis mark. In his bond as surety for his son Samuel, he signs his ownname.
John Newton, Sr., and his brother Moses were made freemen April 18,1690.

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

John first settled in Ipswich MA then Newbury MA. Finally settled inAndover MA and Probably
named that city. He was a prominet citizen and was the firstrepresentative from Andover. A copy of his will is in "History ofAndover MA". He came over on the ship "Confidence" from SouthhamptonEngland with William Osgood (Age 11) and William Jones. On April 11,1638 his wife Sarah and 4 children came to join him along with aservant named Caleb Johnson.

John followed his brother Christopher to New England about 1637 or1638. He was made a freeman on May 22, 1639.

In The Osgood Family, Field states that a document was found in HerMajesty's State paper office written by Dr. Standley, who was headmaster of the famous School at Winchester. It is given below:

"Noble Sir,

I am earnestly solicited by John Osgood to write unto you again abouthis intended journey to New England, that he may have the liberty togoe. I told him that I had written the last weeke, but that would notsatisfy Him because He could not be sure that Letter was Delivered, orthat the way would be open to Him. I desire you, therefor, that youwould be pleased, if you have not done so already, to take order thatHe may passe, as He intended; because I would by now means hinder himin his journey, though it may be he would be his best friend thatshould doe it. I take my leave & rest

March 23d 1637 (1637/38) Your Servant to dispose of
Your Sonne is very well. Edward Stanley

Ye bearer of this letter will, as I am told, pay any moneys, thatshall be due in this business.
Superscribed Endorsed
To my Honorable Friend Mr. Nicholas R. 3d Aprilis 1638. Mr. Dr.Stanley
(Sir Edw Nicholas, prin. Schoolmaster at Winton (the olde
Sec. of State to Chas. I.) one of ye name of Winchester) for a passe f
Clerks of ye Counsyl in King's Street Jo. Osgood.
near ye axe yard in Westminster."

Shortly after the above letter was received by Nicholas, the ship"Confidence" sailed from Southampton for New England, as stated inanother account claiming he came from County Norfolk. In the list ofpassengers of the ship "Confidence" of Southampton that arrived onApril 11, 1638, there was a Sarah Osgood and four children, along witha William Osgood and William Jones (both under 11 years of age) andMargery Packe, Servant. It appears that this was the wife of John andthat the four children were Sarah, John, Mary and Elizabeth. The placelisted as her origin is shown as Horrell. Of course, this may havebeen changed from Orrell which was a town in Lancashire and not farfrom Liverpool.

However, her occupation was listed as Spinster. Possibly it was aclerical error. Or it may have been because John may have been refusedpermission to leave England since he was a subsidy man. He may havehad to resort to some deceit to secure passage for him and his family.Such practices were not uncommon at that time and place.

John settled in Andover in 1644 or 1645 where he died. However, he hadpreviously lived in Ipswich and Newbury. He was one of the originalgrantees of Winnacunet (also called Hampton). According to Endicott,Coffin in his History of Newburg states that John came from Andover inHampshire, England. In the Sketches of Andover, there is a list in theearliest book of the town records now existing which purports to be"the names of all the freeholders in order as they came to town". Inthis list is shown first Mr. Bradstreet, then John Osgood, then therest.

John was one of the founders of the Church in 1645. When the firstchurch of Andover was gathered on October 24, 1645, John was namedimmediately after Mr. John Woodbridge, the teacher. He was also thefirst representative for Andover in the General Court in 1651.

John, whose name stands second on the list of householders and nextafter the Minister's on the list of the ten memebers who formed thenucleus of the first church, was probably the most influentialcitizen, after the Bradstreets and the Minister. It is said that Johnwas the one who named the new plantation but there does not appear tobe any actualy verifiable evidence of this.

He was also the first representative for Andover in the General Courtin 1651. The General Court to which he was the deputy voted, inreference to some of the demands of the beloved and honored Protectorof England, to the effect that it would be inconsistent with theColonial conscience to submit its affairs to any laws except thosemade by the freeman of the Colony. They remonstrated against theappointment of any governor by the Protector for the Colony. Theydemonstrated that their charter entitled them to elect their chiefexecutive in the Colony. Cromwell, therefore, left the ColonialMagistrates undisturbed -- Endicott, Governor; Thomas Dudley(father-in-law of Mr. Bradstreet) , Deputy Governor. Mr. Bradstreetwas one of the Assistants at this time, Andover being honored inhaving two of her Citizens at this early day influential in theColonial legislature and government. The Acts of legislation whichengaged the attention of Andover's first deputy did not espaicallyconcern the town of his residence.

"Robert Clement (1) was the emigrant ancestor of Merton Wallace
Clement, of Worcester. He came from England to America in 1642. He was
born in England about 1590. In 1643 he removed from Salisbury of
Andover and settled in Haverhill, Massachusetts, where he became a
prominent citizen. He was deputy to the general court from 1647 to
1653 inclusive. His family came with him probably, except his youngest
daughter who remained in Coventry, Warwickshire, England, until 1652,
when she too came to Haverhill and soon afterward married John Osgood,
of Andover, Robert Clement became associate judge of the county court.
He was early appointed to give both of fidelity to the inhabitants of
Haverhill. He was frequently appointed on committces to set off land
and fix limits for the pioneers. His record shows him to have been a
man of rare integrity and superior talents. He must have been an inn
keeper in 1653. when he was given permission by the Salisbury court to
sell wine. He owned the first grist mill built in Haverhill. He died
on the farm where he first settled in Haverhill, September 29, 1658.
His will was dated September 6, 1658, when not all of his children
were in New England. Children of Robert Clement were: Job, see
forward; John, married, 1648, Sarah Osgood; Robert, married, 1652,
Elizabeth Fawne; Abraham, Daniel, Sarah, Lydia, Mary, born about 1637,

FIRST GENERATION.

JOHN AYRES OF SALISBURY, IPSWICH AND HAVERHILL,
MASS. (1635.)

320000. JOHN AYER. 160000. 198000. He was the sixth child and youngest
son of Thomas Eyre of Wiltshire, England, and his wife ElizabethRogers, which
Thomas was 5th in descent from Galpedus LeHeyer in the time of EdwardII.
Among the emigrants arriving in Massachusetts Bay Colony from Englandduring
the time that Charles I. ruled without a Parliament, 16-1640, werelarge numbers
from the vicinity of Ipswich and Haverhill in Suffolk, Salisbury inWiltshire and
Newbury. In establishing themselves in the new country, they namedtheir
settlements after their English home towns. Thus Ipswich inMassachusetts was
founded in 1633, Newbury in 1635, Salisbury in 1639, and Haverhill in1640.

Conspicuous among these early settlers was John Ayer, who was born inWiltshire England,
possibly in Suffolk in 1592. He died March 31, 1657, at Haverhill,Mass.,
leaving a wife named Hannah (?) who died July 13, 1686, aged 88. He isthought
to have reached New England in 1637. He brought with him eightchildren and
settled probably first at Salisbury as he was living there in 1640; heremoved to
Ipswich prior to 1645 and in that year became a resident of Haverhill,where he
remained until his death in 1657. John's name generally appears in the
Massachusetts record as Ayer, but is also frequently inscribed Eyres.He and his
three brothers, Robert, Thomas and Peter were leading men among theearliest
settlers of Haverhill. The descendants of these four brothers are verynumerous
(5000). In 1700 it was supposed that nearly one-third of theinhabitants of
Haverhill township were Ayers. John built a house which together withits land
was valued in 1646 at œ160. The plot faced the main highway on thenorth, its
southern boundary being the Merrimac river. Since that time it hasbeen
continuously occupied by his descendants, the late Captain John Ayer,its last
owner, having been of the sixth generation. In 1645 John Ayer wasamong
Haverhill's thirty-two land owners; on Feb. 13, 1647, he was fined fornot
attending the town meeting in season; on June 7, 1652, he receivedeight acres as
his proportion of the second distribution of town lands; on March 12,1657,
nineteen days before his death he executed his will which mentions sixsons and
three daughters all living at Haverhill. The will was attested byHenry Palmer, the
father of the wife of John's son Robert and a fairly equitabledivision was made
among the children of the real estate, which comprised two dwellingsand a
number of outlying parcels of land. His wife was given the homesteadduring her
life and the major part of his cattle and personal property. Theestate was
appraised at œ248-5-o. The items of the inventory are here given toshow the

Came to New England in 1637 with their 4 children and settled inRoxbury. His homestead
consisted of twenty-two acres. The following, from the Roxburyrecords, gives a
contemporary opinion of him: "He lived a very religious and godlylifeamong us and
fell into a consumption to which he had a long time been inclined;helay near a year
sick in all which time his faith, patience and holiness andcontentionso shined that
Christ was much glorified in him. He was a man of Weake partsbutExcellent faith and

His name is amoung those of the proprietors of Andover with thatof his son Thomas and son-in-law George Abbot.

THOMAS CHANDLER and WILLIAM CHANDLER stood among the most influentialof the first settlers. They were brothers, sons of William Chandler,of
Roxbury. Their sister Hannah was the wife of George Abbot, Sen., andof the Rev. Francis Dane. There were four different representatives tothe
General Court of the Chandler name in the first century of the townhistory,-- Ensign Thomas Chandler, 1678; Captain Thomas Chandler,1690;
Captain John Chandler, 1704; Mr. Thomas Chandler, Jr., 1735. Thedescendants(1) of the Chand-

MEMORIALS OF THE EARLY SETTLERS. 97

Chandler name, in Andover and in other towns of the State, have beennumerous and honorable.

Thomas Chandler-- the representative, 1678-- was a blacksmith,ultimately a rich man, carrying on considerable iron works, of whichhe makes
mention in his will, giving to each of his sons a fourth part of hisshare in the iron works. It is traditional, though not authenticated,that
these works were on the Shawshin, at or near the present site ofMarland village.

There is before the writer an original deed of the first settler,Thomas Chandler, which has been kept in the family of the "party" towhom it was
given. Thomas Chandler wrote a quite handsome hand, but his wife made"her marke." This deed classes him as yeoman. It conveys to JohnAbbot,
"for nine pounds currant money, one end of a meadow com- monly calledBeaver dam meadow lying in the bounds of Andover about six milessouthward
from the Towne of And- over and contayneth about six Akers be thesame more or less bounded south west with the meadow of Joseph Balard and a
beaver dame, east with Oburne lyen" (and so on, the other boundsbeing marked trees). This deed is dated No- vember 25, 1684.

William Chandler, brother of Thomas Chandler, kept an inn on theIpswich road to Billerica. His troubles with some of his townsmenhave been
previously related. Thomas Chandler's son Thomas was likewiserepresentative to the General Court. The Chandlers were military menof consid-
erable local fame in the Indian wars, Captain Thomas Chand- ler doingsome service in scouting.

Ensign John Chandler was famous for his athletic prowess andstrength. He was a great wrestler, and loved to chal- lenge to thecontest any one
who boasted of skill in this art, formerly so fashionable. But he methis match in the Rev. Mr. Wise, of Ipswich, who, at first decliningthe
contest as improper for his profession, at last yielded, and, takinghis opponent off his guard, with a "trip and a twitch," threw himhigh over
the garden wall, which was built against an embankment.

Another story, which has some elements of improbability, is that,having been impressed for military duty in the king's service in theFrench and Indian wars, he was walking beside the officers on his wayto the place of rendezvous, when, coming to a cellar of a house whichhad been burnt, and where the ashes were still smoking, he seized andthrew into the hole the two officers of guard and went his way.This(1) Ensign or Captain (afterward) John Chandler settled at Con-cord, N. H.

One of the ancient homesteads of the Chandlers, con- nected withnames of note, is in the West Parish, northeast of the Meeting-house,owned by
Mr. Joshua Chandler. It is now of large extent, and was ancientlylarger, including the estate of the late Mr. Joseph Chandler. TheChandlers
were regardful of education, some of them in their will mak- ingprovision for the liberal education of their sons at "the college."In the first
century of the town history there were three graduates of HarvardCollege, ministers, of the Chand- ler name, all of whom were of some
considerable note in their time: Rev. James Chandler graduated 1728,settled at Rowley; Rev. Samuel Chandler graduated 1735, settled atYork,
Me.; Rev. John Chandler graduated 1743, settled at Billerica.

Other names of more or less note are Philemon Chandler, conspicuousin town affairs during the Revolutionary war; Capt. Joshua Chandler,
representative to the Legislature, 1817 (whose homestead was the onementioned in the West Parish, north of the Meeting-house). Among hissons
were Mr. John Chandler, of the firm of Chandler & Co., dry goodsmerchants, Boston, and Mr. Nathan Chandler, of the firm of Monroe &Chandler,
bankers, New York. Mr. Joseph Chandler, Jr., son of Joseph Chandler,(the owner of a part of the ancient West Parish homestead), died inthe United
States service, at Ship Island, 1861, a young man of great promise.The family is large, and has many other locally influential names,besides a
wide connection of distinction in other towns.

[McGavin]
!According to LDS Ancestral File, Samuel Graves was married to GraceBeamsley
[AFN:7TTF-K8], who was born to William and Ann Beamsley in 1635anddied at Boston in 1730.

The marriage information may well be correct, but AF also shows her tobe the mother of Mark Graves, who was born about 1623, which isinconsistent with her date of birth in 1635.
Most likely Mark was born to Samuel and a previous wife of Samuel.

A clue to Samuel's ancestry is that the area in Lynn, MA, wherehelived was called "Gravesend," which is the name for part of theCounty Kent in England about 20 miles below London on the ThamesRiver.

Samuel came to America in 1630, possibly as part of the Endicott groupof 1628
or the Winthrop fleet of 1630. He lived in Lynn, MA, on the turnpikewest of
Floating Bridge, and the neighborhood in which he lived was calledGravesend
for more than 200 years. Samuel was a farmer and a man of wealth. In1635 he
gave about 300 pounds for the support of the Colonial government

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

There is considerable difficulty in tracing the children of WilliamReade of Weymouth and the authorities differ. In this sketch it hasbeen thought best to follow the genealogy ritten by John L. Reed,published in 1901.
HISTORIC HOMES AND INSTITUTIONS AND GENEALOGICAL AND PERSONAL MEMOIRS
OF WORCESTER COUNTY MASSACHUSETTS

William sailed from Gravesend, county of Kent, in the "Assurance deLondon" in 1635, of which Isaac Bromwell and George Percy weremasters. There were on this vessel at the time of sailing two hundredand twentyone persons, the awerage age of whom was about twenty-fiveyears. The vessel sailed July 24, 1635, and probably landed about amonth later in Boston, whence Reade proceeded to Weymouth and settledthere.

On March 9, 1636-7, he purchased from the estate of Zachery Bicknellhis house and farm, which was located on the west side of Middlestreet. The old house stood on the knoll opposite the junction ofMiddle and Charles streets. The premises were recently owned by JamesClapp. They passed out of the family in 1769. William Reade was amongthe first settlers of Weymouth, which was made a plantation May 8,1635. He was admitted a freeman September 2, 1635, and was electeddeputy to the general court, December 7, 1636, and again September 6,1638. Rev. Joseph Hull and his company came to Weymouth in the springof 1635, shortly before Reade settled there, and this band of veryworthy settlers established one of the most noted colonies of theearly days of the New England Puritans. In the same month that Mr.Reade left England another ship containing his future wife sailed.Avis Deacon was on the "Alice," of which Richard Orchard was themaster, and which sailed July 13, 1635, from Gravesend with thirty-twopassengers, most of whom were young men and women. Her twin brother,Thomas Deacon, came on the boat with Reade. Avis Deacon marriedWilliam Reade probably soon after her arrival in New England. Readewas allotted land in the first division at Weymouth and he acquiredconsiderable real estate later.

The Otis family has had many men of distinction from colonial times tothe present and all are of the same family, all descendants of thesame progenitor. John Otis, or as the name is spelled otherwise Attis,Oates, Oatise. The English family has a coat of arms.

(I) John Otis, the emigrant ancestor of Harrison Gray Otis. John P. K.Otis and Mary Elizabeth Otis, of Worcester, Massachusetts, was born inBarnstable, England, in 1581. He settled in Hingham in New England. Hewas there at the time of the first division and drew land in 1635.Most of the early settlers in Hingham, Massachusetts, were fromHingham, England, and it is thought that Otis lived in Hingham for atime before coming to New England. His homestead was on Otis Hill inthe southwest part of Hingham, Massachusetts. He had numerous grantsof land between 1635 and 1647. He was admitted a freeman March 3,1635-6. He was a town officer. His buildings burned March 15, 1645-6.He removed about 1655 to Weymouth, Massachusetts.

He married (first) Margaret (???) in England. She died in Hingham,June 28, 1653. He married (second) and his widow drew land in Weymouthin 1663. He died in Weymouth, May 31, 1657, aged seventy-six. His willwas dated the day before his death and was proved July 28, 1657. Hebequeathed to his wife; to son John, who was made executor; todaughter Margaret Burton and her three children; to daughter HannahGile; to Mary and Thomas Gile, Jr.; to daughters Anne and Alice. Hiswidow Elizabeth made will September 12, 1672, proved July 17, 1676,and bequeathed to son John Streme; daughter Elizabeth and son-in-law,Lieutenant John Holbrook. The children of John Otis were: John, seeforward; Richard, went to Weymouth in 1654, settled in Dover, NewHampshire, in 1662; killed by the Indians 1689 with his son Stephen;wife and child captured and sold to the French; his widow married aFrenchman in Canada, but after his death she returned to her old homeand married (third) Captain Thomas Baker; Margaret, married ThomasBurton, of Hingham; Hannah, married Thomas Gile; Ann; Alice.

John was probably born in the old family home at Glastonbury, SomersetCounty, in 1581. The parish records of Glastonbury commence in 1602,and there is no entry there of his baptism, although his childres arementioned later. As the earliest mention in the Glastonbury parishregister of a baptism of his children was in 1604, it is reasonable toassume that he was married about 1603, when 22 years old. This wassome 25 years before he left England, but beyond the fact that hiswife's name was Margaret, that she came with her husband and theirfamily to America and died either April 4, 1653; April 28, 1653, orJanuary 9, 1654 (all dates being mentioned) nothing is known.

He evidently was a substantial yeoman, who, with other Puritans of thetime left his home to escape the religious persecution of the times,coming to the Plymouth Colony (now Massachusetts), and willinglysubmitting to the hardships of a pioneer for such freedom.

"Tudor, in his life of James Otis, the patriot, says that John camefrom Hingham, in Norfolk, England; and it is a fact that most of thesettlers of the New England town of this same name, to which Johnhimself came, did originally live in that English town. Such being thecase, combined with the statement of Tudor, who from his earlier dateof wirting may have had sources of information now unknown ordestroyed, it has been conjectured that he left his native Glastonburyand lived for a time in Hingham, previous to embarking for America. Ifso, he did not leave until after his son John was born in 1621, asrecorded in the parish baptisms.

"It is not known with certainty when he landed in America, or in whosecompany he came, but most probably the date was in the latter part of1630. This was the year after the great charter was granted the colonyby Charles I, and a generally more enlightened political actioninaugurated by the English government. In fact, a distinguishedhistorian writes that 'as soon as this liberal action was made known,emigration began on an extensive scale. In 1630, about three hundredof the best Puritan families in the kingdom came to New England; notadventurers, not vagabonds, were these brave people, but virtuous,well educated, courageous men and women, who, for the sake ofconscience, left comfortable homes, with no expectation of returning.'

"At one time it was supposed that John arrived with the Rev. PeterHobart in 1635, since the early searchers of the records found hisname in that company when they drew lots on the 18th of September,1635. It is evident, however, tht he settled at Hingham at least asearly as 1631, since in a division of lands in that town, a lotgranted to him bears date June 1l, 1631, while the last of severalgrants is dated March 5, 1647 (Hingham records, Folio XII). Among thegrants recorded are the following:--'June, 1635, John OTise is to havefive acres of the medow called the Home Meadow nect to the cove.' Vol.I, pg. 10.

"But to his descendants one of the most interesting of these grantswas that of June 1, 1636, 'ten acres for planting ground' on a hill.'The remembrance of the original Glastonbury home of John was mostcuriously kept alive and perpetuated by him in the quaint hame he gaveto this ground--Weary-All-Hill. Possibly its shape or location, orsome other feature of his new possession, reminded him of onewell-known and loved hill in his boyhood home, foits name certainlywas no newly invented one, with a more local significance, as somehistorians would say, but assuredly goes back to England and toGlastonbury town.'

"This hill, which is 129 ft. high, is now bare, and generally wouldnot be considered interesting, except for the view from its summit,which is however, certainly delightful. In the History of Hingham(Vol. I, page 177) the writer says, "We skirt the foot of OtisHill--very steep upon its western slope--and from this cause, known toearly settlers in their quaintly expressive nomenclature asWeary-All-Hill, the view from this hill is exquisite, lie at one'sfeet, and to the northeast and east is the deep blue expanse of theOcean. Daniel Webster greatly admired Otis Hill, with its view, andoften visited it on his way to Marshfield. It is said that he had agreat desire to buy it, and make his home there, but feared that iswas so near the city, he could not hope for the seclusion which a moredistant spot would afford.'

"John appears to have been prominent among the Colonists, judging fromthe rather frequent appearance of his name and the events mentioned inits connection. According to the Plymouth Colony records, it appearsthat 'John Ottis' took the oath and was made a freeman of the Colonyof Massachusetts Bay on March 3, 1635. His place of residence atHingham was at Otis Hill, southwest of the harbor, being a beautifulslope of land, then covered by a heavy growth of forest trees. OnMarch 15, 1646, his house was burned to the ground, 'being the Sabathday in the morning.' but it was soon rebuilt, and he continued to livehere until the death of his wife...

"After his first wife's death, he moved shortly to Weymouth, where hemarried again, his bride being Elizabeth Streame, who, according tothe Genealogical Dirctionary of Rhode Island, died in 1676. He livedat Weymouth until the time of his death, May 31, 1657, which isrecorded in Hobart's journal with the statement athe he wasseventy-six years old, thus corroborating the year of his birth as1581. It appears that his wife, at the time of her marriage, was awidow with two children, Thomas and Benjamin Streame, and that shesurvived John at least several years; since five years later, on thedeath of the former son, she was appointed administratrix, as noted inthe New England Gen. Reg., Vol. XI, pg. 173:--'Thomas Streame, 1st,July, 1662, ...'"29

Nicholas, of Hingham, Norfolk, England, arrived in Boston with hiswife Mary, son John, and daughter Mary on 15 Jun 1633 on the shipElizabeth Bonaventure from Yarmouth, England, and went first toWatertown, MA.6

Immigrant ancestor of the Jacobs, was one of the very few earlyplanters who came to Bare Cove, now Hingham, MA, prior to the arrivalof Rev. Peter Hobart and his company in 1636. According to the Cushingmanuscript, "Nicolas Jacob with his wife and two children and theircosen Thomas Lincoln, weaver, came from Old Hingham (England) andsettled in this Hingham, 1633." In September, 1635, he had a grant ofa house lot at Hingham. He lived at Watertown for a short time beforethat, however, and owned a homestead which he sold before 1636. InJune, 1636, he had granted to him six acre of planting ground uponWeariall Hill, and June 4, 1636, the first of the great lots next tothe Weymouth river and a lot of six acres "at the head of the plainnext to Edeard Gilman, his brother-in-law." He was selectman in 1636;one of the committee of nine to divide Conohasset in 1640; deputy tothe general court in 1648-49; one of the three commissioners to bepresented to the general court in 1656. He was honored with variousother trusts by his townsmen. He kept an ordinary in Hingham in 1640.5

Was rep. 1648 and 1649. Usually the progeny of Nicholas reject thefinal s, that is, Jacob is preferred to Jacobs.24

"Nicholas, the ancestor of all the families bearing this surname inHingham and vicinity, was one of the very few early planters who cameto 'Bare Cove' prior to the arrival of Rev. Peter Hobart and hiscompany in 1635. According to Cushing's MS., 'Nicholas Jacob with hiswife and two children and their cosen Thomas Lincoln, weaver, camefrom Old Hingham and settled in this Hingham, 1633.' In Sept.1635, hehad a grant of a house-lot containing three acres on Town St., secondfrom the way leading to Broad Cove, which is about where the homesteadbelonging to heirs of the late William O. Lincoln is located [in1893]. Other lands were also granted to him at different dates forplanting purposes. He was made freeman [3 Mar] 1635-36; was selectmanin 1637; deputy to the General Court [10 May] 1648 and [2 May] 1649,and often engaged upon the business of the town. The christian name ofhis wife was Mary. She survived him, and m. secondly, March 10,1G58-59, John Beal, widower. Nicholas d. 5 June, 1657, leaving anestate appraised at £393 8s. 6d. In his will of May 18, 1657, proved25 July following, he gives to 'wife Mary, the bed which she usuallylyeth upon with all the furniture thereto oelooging to dispose of towhom she pleases;' also £30 in money. To 'my children, Joseph, Hannah,and Deborah £10 each, in addition to what they have already had, ...To eldest son John a double portion,' ... and 'to the rest of mychildren,' viz.: Joseph Jacob, Mary Otis, Elizabeth Thaxter, SarahCushing, Hannah Jacob, and Deborah Jacob, equal shares, 'and every oneof them shall pay to their mother' a stipulated sum, yearly.Witnesses, Edmund Pitts, Thomas Marsh, Matthew Hawke."28

On 7 Oct 1640 'Nicho[las] Jacobs is allowed to keep an ordinary atHingham.' (MBCR 1:302)

Nicholas, along with three others, had the monopoly to build weirs atLyford's Liking to take alewives.27

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

ANCESTRAL SUMMARY:
The ancestry of Edward Doty is unknown. He came on the Mayflower asan apprentice ("servant") to Stephen Hopkins. The Mormon's I.G.I. saysEdward Doty was born in Shropshire, England on 14 May 1598, but thisrecord is complete fiction. [For more information on this hoax, seeThe American Genealogist 63:215].

Another entry, which is circulated widely on the internet and is alsoon the 1994 I.G.I. addendum is that he was baptized 14 May 1598 in St.Mary le Strand, Thurburton Hills, Suffolk, England, son of John. Thisis just a perversion of the fictional Shropshire origins, and thisrecord is, again, completely mythical. To begin with, there is nosuch place as Thurburton Hills, Suffolk. Further, the parish of St.Mary le Strand is in London not Suffolk, and contains absolutely nobaptismal entries for any Edward Doty's from 1595 to 1600.

There are no fewer than eight known genuine Edward Doty baptisms thatoccurred between 1585 and 1605, but none have been conclusivelyidentified as the Edward Doty of the Mayflower.

Edward was an apprentice (servant) to Stephen Hopkins, and apprenticescould not generally get married until their contract term was up.William Bradford, in his journal Of Plymouth Plantation, states inearly 1651 "But Edward Doty by a second wife hath seven children, andboth he and they are living." Doty's mysterious first marriage musthave occurred in Plymouth sometime after he was released from hiscontract with Hopkins (which apparently occurred between 1623 and1627). Nothing is known about his first marriage, and all hischildren were by his second marriage to Faith Clarke.

BIOGRAPHICAL SUMMARY:
Edward Doty is recorded as a contentious man, often getting himself introuble with the law. On 18 June 1621 he fought a duel with EdwardLeister, which would become the Colony's first (and only) duel.Neither were seriously injured, and both were subsequently punished byhaving their heels tied to their neck. However, their punishment wascut short due to their apparent suffering.

Doty was in court on a number of occasions, mostly in civil disputes.On 2 January 1632/3, Edward Doty was sued by three different people:John Washburn, Joseph Rogers, and William Bennett. It all appears tohave been a disagreement about a trade of some hogs; John Washburn'scase was thrown out, Joseph Rogers was awarded four bushels of corn.In William Bennett's case, Edward Doty was found guilty of slander,and fined 50 shillings. Two years later, in March 1633/4, Edward Dotywas fined 9 shillings and 11 pence for drawing blood in a fight withJosias Cooke. In January 1637/8, Doty was fined for assaulting GeorgeClarke.

In 1639, Edward Doty posted "bail" for John Coombes, who was chargedwith giving out poisoned drinks. There were a number of other civildisputes and court matters that Edward Doty was involved with. Andhowever disagreeable in personality, Edward Doty was mostly involvedin simple civil disputes and was never in any serious officialtrouble.

["Edward Doten was a London youth who came over in the Mayflower as anapprentice of Stephen Hopkins. The first account we have of Edward isin Cape Cod harbor where he signed the cabin contract. He was treatedto all intents and purposes as one of the company. Stephen Hopkins wasa tanner of London, and joined the Pilgrims at Southampton and did notgo to the Low Countries. The Mayflower arrived at Cape Cod, November11, 1620, and the first duty of the Pilgrims was to find a suitablelanding-spot. The shallop they brought with them for shoreexplorations was out of commission, and a few hardy ones volunteeredto make an inland journey. Sixteen in all went ashore, and they werethe first Englishmen permanently to land in New England. In this partywas Edward Doten. They started November 15, and were gone severaldays. A few Indians whom they met ran away from them, and they foundsome Indian corn, which they bore back to the ship, the first they hadever seen. On December 6th, the shallop being made ready, a party often set out by water, and of these Edward was one. The weather wasextremely cold, the seas rough and boisterous, and they encounteredmuch hardship. They beat off the Indians, discovered their stores ofcorn, their habitations, and graves. On Friday, December 8, in aterrible snowstorm, they reached a point of land now known as Clark'sisland. Here they rendezvoused all day of the 9th, and Sunday, asbecame men of their profession. It is said that Edward Doten attemptedto first leap on the island, but was checked, the master's mateallowed to first land, after whom the island was named. On MondayDecember 11 (our 21st, Forefather's Day), they sounded the harbor, andsailed for the aminland, mooring at ½lymouth Rock. It was a hardwinter for the Pilgrims, that first winter at Plymouth. They werelittle prepared for such rigorous climate, and their suffering wasconsequently great. Disease attacked them; death thinned theirnumbers. Edward Doten bore his part of the inconveniences with theothers, but, being young and strong of frame, hw was carried throughsafely.

"The next allusioin we find to Edward is when he fought a duel insingle combat with sword and dagger with Edward Lister, both beingwounded, the one in the hand, and the other in the thigh. They wereadjudged by the whole community to have their head and feet tiedtogether, and so to remain for twenty-four hours without meat anddring; bet after an hour, because ofr their great pains, tehy werereleased by the governor.This was the first duel fought in NewEngland, and the first pardon ever issued by the hand of an Americangovernor. It was also the second offense committed in the colony.Lister seems to have soon after, whether voluntarily or by compulsion,left the plantation, and died some years later in Virginia. Edward, itmust be remembered, was not of the ascetic race, like the Scroobyfarmers and Notinghamshire sectarists who composed the bulk of theMayflower list. He had seen London life in abundance, his blood ranquicker, he possessed a spryer temper than they, and thus got intoescapades which were rendered venal through the effervescence ofyouth. He sems later in life to have retrieved his somewhat livelycharacter, and began to accumulate property. In January, 1631, he wasrated at one pound seven shillings, and there were many lower ratingsthan this. He was made a freeman in 1633. He was a litigant, due, nodoubt to his warm blood and a determination to stand up for hisrights, January 1, 1632, John Washburne haled him into court forwrongfully taking his hog, but the jury brought in for Edward. InApril, 1633, Will Bennet complained of Edward for divers injuries-thathe sold him a flitch of bacon at the rate of three pounds, and that itwas not worth above half that sum. This was referred to Robert Heckerand Francis Eaton, to decide as they should think meet between man andman. Edward called Bennet a rogue, whereat he brought him into courton a summons for slander, and Edward was fined fifty shillings. In1634, at a general court, an apprentice of Edward's (this shows he wasgetting up in the world, to keep an assistant), John Smith, asked thecourt to free him from his master Edward, to whom he had bound himselffor ten years, as the master did not keep him properly. At a court ofassistants held March 24, 1634, Edward and Jason Cook were finded sixshillings for breaking the peace. The got into a fistic altercation,and Edward drew the first blood. March 7, 1636, at a court ofassistants, George Clarke complained against Edward for damages in aland trade. The court ordered Edward to repay Clarke eight pounds. Atthe same session, Edward was convicted for assault and battery andassessed twelve pence, and in another action of the same kind, smaeparties, ten shillings. Up to 1650 he was in court either as plaintiffor defendant in twelve other causes. In 1624 the people requested thegovernor to set off land, and Edward received his share on what is now[1910] Watson's hill. In 1627 there was another allotment 'to heads offamilies, and to young men of prdence,' and Edward was given a shareunder this designation, though unmarried, which shows him to havegained the confidence of the governor. At a general meeting, March 14,1635, he was given hay ground on Jones river, on High Clifford orSkeat Hill, near the present border of Kingston. In 1627 he sold landto Russell Derby for one hundred and fifty pounds. To this deed hemade his mark, as to all other documents. In 1637 he was allottedsixty acres on Mount Hill; also, he owned land in Yarmouth, Cohasset,Dartmouth, Lakenham and Punckquasett, now Tiverton, Rhode Island. In1638 he went bail for Samuel Gaston for forty pounds; in 1639 forRichard Derby in the sum of twenty pounds; in 1642 for John Hassel, ofSeakonk; in 1643 for John Smith, of Eele river. He was a privat in themilitia, and lived in the town of Plymouth, High Cliff, Plain Dealing,which is the name Thodore Roosevelt adoped for his Virginia countryplace."5

"According to the generally accepted Sturgis genealogy the Sturgisfamily of Yarmouth and later of Barnstable, Massachusetts, aresupposed to be descended from Roger Sturgis of Clipston, presumablythe Roger Sturge of the Phillamore list, whose will was dated November15, 1530. He married Alice and had Richard, Robert, Francis, Ellen andAgnes. Richard Sturgis had Roger Sturgis, John Sturgis and ThomasSturgis. Roger Sturgis married Agnes and had Robert Sturgis of Faxtonand John Sturgis. Robert Sturgis of Faxton (comp. Phillimore list)left a will, dated April 9, 1610, proved September 19, 1611, thedeceased being buried at Faxton, January 2, 1611. He had a son PhilipSturgis of Hannington, whose will was dated May 26, 1618 (comp.Phillimore list), proved July 2, 1618, the deceased being buried atHannington, June 18, 1618. Philip Sturgis by a first wife had EdwardSturgis, Robert Sturgis and Elizabeth Sturgis and by a second wife,Anne Lewes, Alice, baptized January 16, 1608, Anne, baptized September29, 1609; and William, batpized October 10, 1611. Edward Sturgis, theson of Philip, married Alice and had Alice, baptized December 23,1619; Mary, baptized October 2, 1621; Edward, baptized April 10, 1624,who according to the tale went to New England with his father;Rebecca, baptized February 17, 1626; and, as the tree reads, 'otherchildren born in this country'. A copy of this tree is on file in theNew England Historic Genealogical Society. Even if we assume thatthere was an Edward, son of Philip, who married Alice and that theline of the family down to that Edward is correct, it is impossible tomaintain the proposition that the Edward Sturgis who came to thiscountry and first appears in New England in 1634 at Charlestown,Massachusetts, was that Edward. The Edward Sturgis who came toCharlestown, Massachusetts, in 1634, where on January 10, 1634-5 hereceived a grant of four acres of land (Charlestown land records inNew England Register, Vol. 20, page 110), lived a long life andappears frequently in the Records of the Plymouth Colony, dying inSandwich, Massachusets, in 1695. If his son Edward, his third child,born in 1624, according to the tree, came with his father to thiscountry, the senior Sturgis lived to be at least one hundred years oldand moreover, the wife of Edward Sturgis in America was namedElizabeth and not Alice. Moreover it is clear from the Provincerecords that Edward
Sturgis did not return to England and yet we find in All Saint'sChurch at Holdenbury a tablet to the memory of Alice Sturgis, wife ofEdward Sturgis, who died January 20, 1659; and Edward Sturgis, herhusband, of West Haddon, who died October 22, 1670 (Baker's History ofthe County of Northhampton). The will of Philip Sturgis devised landsin West Haddon to his son Edward. There can be no doubt that thisEdward to whom the tablet was erected was the son of Philip and notthe Edward Sturgis who came to Charlestown in 1634."

"It is well known that many of those families settling on Cape Cod inthe second quarter of the seventeenth century came from Kent and apartial examination of the records of East Kent reveals a possiblesource from which our Edward Sturgis sprang. It appears in the WorthTranscripts that 'John Sturgis the son of Edward Sturgis was crystnedthe XXVIjth of Aprill, 1578.' Assuming that this John was the eldestson, Edward Sturges was born probably about 1557. He is called 'EdwardSturges alias Turges' in the marriage license of his daughterElizabeth (supra). From 1581 to 1595 he appears in the registers ofWoodnesborough and from 1596 to 1622 in those of Tilmanstone. In thelicense for his last marriage he is called of Eastry (CanterburyMarriage Licenses, April 17, 1623 ) but later in that year he removedto Sturry where he was buried January 23, 1624/5. His will, datedJanuary 13, 1623/4 mentions lands in Barham and was proved February 9,1624/5 (Arch. Cant., vol. 67, fol.380). Woodnesborough, Tilmanstoneand Eastry are adjoining parishes about ten miles east of Canterbury,while Sturry is two miles north of it. In his will Edward Sturgesdescribed himself as 'the elder of Sturry, co. Kent, yeoman' and leftto his son John one shilling and to Edward Sturges, son of John, fortyshillings when 18 years old. The name of John Sturges appears atvarious times in the registers of Tilmanstone, Woodnesborough andEastry. He married first, by license, at Tilmanstone, November 28,1608, Margaret Austin (Tilmanstone Register). She was buried atEastry, April 3, 1622 (Eastry Transcripts). Of this marriage therewere four children: - 1. Margaret, baptised at Tilmanstone June 3,1610, who probably died young. 2) Edward, baptized at Woodnesborough,January 30, 1613/14 (wqoodnesborough Transcripts). . . . 3) Elizabeth,baptized at Woodnesborough, May 10, 1618. 4. Andrew, baptized atEastry, March 31, 1622. The examination of the records in East Kentdisclosed but two later mentions of the name Edward Sturges andneither seems to apply to this Edward Sturges, son of John. If he wasthe Edward Sturges who emigrated to America, as seems probably, hewould have been 21 years old when he received his grant of land inCharlestown (supra)."

"Edward Sturgis was a man of wealth and social prominence. He was inCharlestown in 1634, and constable in Yarmouth in 1641. He kept anordinary and sold large quantities of liquors, which our fathersconsumed. His residence was northerly of the old burying ground. Hedied in Sandwich in 1695. Among his descendants are the late PresidentQuincy of Harvard College, John Quincy Adams, and other distinguishedpersonages."

He is listed as literate (1635 pet), with occupation of innkeeper andhusbandman. He is listed as a Church Member in Charlestown in 1634with offices of "const., sm.". He was said to be in Charlestown in1634, in Yarmouth, 1639.

Edward was the first Tavern Keeper in Yarmouth. This qualifies hisdescendants for membership in the "Flagon and Trencher - Descendantsof Colonial Tavern Keepers".
Details to be entered., ,
"It will be seen that Edward Sturgis Sr. outlived his sons Samuel andEdward Jr. but his youngest son Thomas survived him and was appointedadministrator of his estate. There is an entry in the records of theTown of Yarmouth in October 1695 to the effect that Mr. Edward Sturgisof that town had died in Sandwich, which was 55 years after his firstelection as Constable of Yarmouth. If we are right in our surmise thatEdward Sturgis was the son of John Sturges of Woodnesborough in Kentand was baptised there January 30, 1613/14, he was 81 years old at thetime of his death. November 9, 1695 administration was granted by theProbate Court upon the estate of Edward Sturgis to Thomas Sturgis (B),his son, and John Miller (B.P.C., Vol. 2, page 11). The appointment ofadministrators was apparently in those days preceded by the filing ofthe inventory. This was filed and sworn to by the widow, mary Sturgis,before the Judge of Probate, November 5, 1695 (B.P.C., Vol. 2, page10) and things apparently went badly for the first Edward Sturgis inhis later years for we do not find any of the plate attributed to himin his more prosperous days. His estate was much involved, as appearsfrom a release signed by his second wife, (B.P.C., Vol. 2, page 15) inwhich she released all interest in her husband's estate to hisadministrators for 23 pounds. The release recites the marriageagreement of 1692 (supra) and recited that, 'for as much as ye saidEdward Sturgis is departed this life and hath left ye said Mary hiswife ye surviviour and ye sd Mary taking into her consideration thatye estate of her deceased husband ye said Edward Sturgis is muchentangled in debts and shee not being willing to take ye trouble thatmay accrue about ye premises and willing to be in quiet hath with yeadvice & council of ye said John Miller and Joseph Rider aforesdreceived and excepted of Twenty and three pounds in silver money infull satisfaction for her part of and in ye estate of her deceasedhusband ye sd Edward Sturgis.' "

He has been said to be the son of Philip Sturgis and his 1st wife.Philip is said to have been the son of Robert Sturgis and ?, fromHunnington, England. Philip died June 18, 1618. Will dated May 26,1613 or 1618. Proven July 2, 1618. Robert was said to be the son ofRoger Sturgis and Agnes of Faxton, England. Robert was buried Jan. 2,1611. His will dated Aprl 9, 1610. Robert was said to be the son orRichard Sturgis and ?. Roger's will was made 9-4-1579.

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

Their were two Elizabeth Hinckleys, both born in Kent in 1617. One wasthe
daughter of Thomas Hinckley and one the daughter of Stephen Hinckley.The
latter was a brother of Samuel Hinckley and the former a half-brother.
An Elizabeth Hinckley, a niece of Samuel, came to Massachusetts withSamuel on
the ship Hercules in 1635. She was recorded as Elizabeth Hincle, akinswoman of
Samuel Hinckley.

The most predominent belief is she was the daughter of Thomas and Anna
Hinckley. She was baptized Sept. 20, 1617, and was living in 1634, theyear
before she sailed to America. Her father died in late 1634 or early1635, so
this may be the reason she sailed with her Uncle Samuel. Her fatherleft
her 5 pounds, 10 shillings. The other Elizabeth, the daughter ofStephen, was
baptized July 27, 1617, and was mentioned in her father's will.

Both, however, were granddaughters of John Hynckleye, the known linegoing
back several generations from him.

Elizabeth married Edward C*. Sturgis II,² son of Edward* Sturgis ² and Alice,² in Faxton, Northampton, England.² Edward was born on 10 Apr 1624 in Hannington, Northampshire, England^² and died on 8 Dec 1678 in Sandwich, Barnstable, Massachusetts^² at age 54.

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

Desire(2) Howland (John[1]) was born in Plymouth, Mass., about 1625 or1626, the daughter of John and Elizabeth (Tilley) Howland. Desire andher brother, John were listed with their parents in the Division ofCattle in Plymouth, 22 May 1627 (old style), 1 June 1627 (new style).John's birth date, 24, 2, 1627 (old style)[24 April 1627], wasrecorded by Judge Sewall who met John(2) Howland on the road and askedhim when he was born. Therefore, Desire must have been the eldestchild, born one year or eighteen months earlier than John. Desire diedin Barnstable, Mass., 13 October 1683.

Desire Howland married in Plymouth, about 1643 John Gorham, who wasbaptized in Benefield, Northamptonshire, England, 28 January 1620/1,the son of Ralph Gorham. Capt. John Gorham was buried in Swansea,Mass, 5 February 1675/6.

The Northamptonshire branch of the Gorhams are supposed to havedescended from Sir Hugh de Gorham and his wife, Margaret, daughter ofSir William l'Angevin. Sir Hugh de Gorham, in 1281, possessed themanor of Churchfield in the parish of Oundle, and land in Benefieldwhich had belonged to his wife's father. More than three hundred yearslater, the baptism of "John Gorram, son of Ralph Gorram" was enteredin the Benefield register.

A john Gorham, perhaps this man, was a passenger on board the Philip,bound for North America, 20 June 1635, with Richard Morgan, master. ARalph Gorham was greanted land in Plymouth 2 October 1637 for a houseand garden. On 5 March 1637/8, he complained against Frances Sprague.A year later, "Ralph Gorham the older" was presented for breaking thepeace. On 1 September 1640 he complained against Ralph Smith and on 2March 1640/1 Smith complained against Ralph Gorham. On 5 April 1640 hesued Tristram Clark and John Crab for debt. he then disappeared fromPlymouth records.

On 8 March 1648 Desire's father, John Howland, sold to his"son-in-law, John Gorum," half of the lands in Marshfield that he hadbought from Governor William Bradford. In 1672, Desire's mother,Elizabeth Howland, "wife of Mr. John Howland, deceased, came intocourt at Plymouth and acknowledged that she freely gave andsurrendered rights in the lands of her late husband lying in Namasketin the township of Middleboro to Mr. John Gorum of Barnstable."

The exact date of their marriage is not known but Desire was called"Desire Gorum" in her father's will dated 29 May 1672. Additionalproof that Desire Howland married John Gorham was found in a landtransaction dated 16 February 1673, in which "John Gorum Senr ofBarnstable" sold to George Dawson, "now resident at Barnstable," landin Middleboro formerly belonging to John Howland and Elizabeth, hiswife, and given to the said John Gorum before John Howland's death.the transaction was witnessed by Joseph Laythorpe and John Thompson,and acknowledged 24 February 1673 before Thomas Hinckley, Assistant.Desire, wife of John Gorum, gave her consent 30 April 1674.

John and Desire Gorham lived in Plymouth after the birth of theirfirst child, Desire, 2 April 1644, and then moved to marshfield. Theirgreat-grandson, Col. John Gorham, in his "Wast Book, " recorded that"John Gorum, alias Gorham - which Son after Having Marryed With andHowland and Had Sevrall Children Went home to England and ReturnedSoone again to his family... Moved from Marshall to Barnstable andSettled there in ordr to begin to township Called Barnstable. BuiltMills - tan fatts &c."

John Gorham's name was on a list of men able to bear arms in Plymouthin 1643. He was chosen constable in Marshfield in 1648. He was made afreeman 4 June 1650 and in 1651 he became a member of the GrandInquest of Plymouth Colony. He and his family moved to Yarmouth,Mass., in 1652, and then went on to Barnstable where he owned a gristmill and a tannery. He was a surveyor of highways in 1654. As acaptain in the militia in King Philip's War, he took part in theNarragansett fight in December 1675, where he was wounded "by havinghis powder horn Shot and Split against his side," He died of theresulting fever and was burned in Swansea 5 February 1676/7. Hiswidow, Desire, survived him for more than five years, dying after herfather, John Howland, but before her mother, Elizabeth Tilley. Desirewas mentioned in her father's will in 1672, but not by her mother in1686.

Desire's husband, Capt. John Gorham died intestate. On 7 March 1675,Mistress Desire Gorum (sic) and her sons, James Gorum and John Gorum,were named as administrators of the estate. The court appointed "Mr.Hinckley, Mr. Chipman and Mr. Huckins" to take care of the estate ofthe youngest children until they came of age. The inventory, amountingto L710-4-3, was taken 29 February 1675 and sworn to 7 March 1675. Itincluded the dwelling house, barn, upland, meadow, tan vats, a baarkmill, and two houses and tools "belonging to the taning." In thedivision of Capt. John Gorham's estate, dated Plymouth 7 March 1676/7,widow Desire Gorham received her dower thirds. Son Jomes received "thedwelling house he now lives in," with the barn and half of the upland.Son John Gorham received the tan vats, bark mill, tools, stock and theother half of the upland. Son Joseph was given forty acres of landnext to Joseph Hallet's land, and some meadow. The rest of the estatewas divided into five equal parts among the rest of the children, whowere named as Jabez, Mercy, Lydia, Hannah and Shubael Gorum. Shubaelwas allotted L50 for the costs of his education, in addition toreceiving his share of the estate. Three married daughters, Desire,Temperance and Elizabeth, had already received L40 each. If thereshould be an overplus, the married daughters were to share equallywith the other children, except that James, the eldest son, was tohave a double share.

The inventory of Desire's estate was dated 3 August 1683, more thantwo months before her death, 13 October 1683. On 5 March 1683/4, theAssistants of Plymouth Colony, Gov. Hinckley, Major Bradford, DeputyGov. Mr. Freeman, Mr. Lothrop and Mr. Thacher, "with the mutualconsent of the children then appearing", named as James, John andJoseph Gorham, and with the consent of the sons-in-law, agreed thatthe eldest son James would receive a double share, according tocustom, and the rest of the children, namely John, Joseph, Jabez,Shubael, Desire, Temperance, Elizabeth, deceased, mercy, Lydia andHannah, should have an equal portion. As Elizabeth had died, theyagreed that her children, not named, "should have an equal part thatdid belong to their mother."

He came to Plymouth on the ship "Fortune" in Nov. 1621.
He was elected Governor of Massachusetts Colony in 1634 and again in1638.

!Early Vital Records of Massachusetts to about 1850 published by the"Search Research Corporation, Wheat Ridge, CO." 1998 CD (Plymouthdeaths)

"Thomas Prence Esquir Govr of the Jurisdiction of New Plymouth Diedthe 29th of March 1673 and was Interred the 8th of April following,after hee had served God in the office sixteen yeares or nearetherunto hee finished his Course in the 73rd yeare of his life, heewas a worthy Gentleman very pious; and very able for his office andfaithfull in the Discharge therof studious of peace a welwiller to allthat feared God; and a terrour to the wicked, his, Death was muchlamented, and his body honorably buryed att Plymouth the Day and yeareabovemensioned"

Thomas Prince, Senior, carriage maker of All Hallows, Dorking, London,England, in his will of 1630 mentions, "my son Thomas Prence nowremayninge in New England in parts beyond seas." The proper spellingof this surname is Prince and it was so written by his immediate andcollateral forebares, but Gov. Thomas chose to write it as Prence.

Thomas Prence came to America on the ship Fortune in 1621 and settledin Plymouth. In 1635, he moved to Duxbury, in 1644 to Eastham, and in1663, was induced to move back to Plymouth by a gift of a large farmat "Plain Dealing." He was governor of the Plymouth Colony eighteenyears, assistant thirteen years, treasurer one year, member of theCouncil of War five years, commissioner twelve years, alternatecommissioner several years.

George Willison in Saints and Strangers noted that in 1646, ThomasPrence was opposed to religious tolerance and, in 1657, was a leaderin Quaker and Baptist persecutions. In Duxbury, the policy of Gov.Prence "met stiff opposition led by Henry and Arthur Howland andothers. Henry Howland was up on the malicious charge of 'improperlieentertaining' a neighbor's wife, and his young son, Zoeth, was put inthe stocks for saying that he 'would not goe to meeting to hear lyes,and that the Divill could preach as good a sermon as the ministers,'with which many townspeople seemed to agree, choosing to pay a finerather than attend public worship." Imagine Gov. Prence's feelingswhen he discovered that "one of his chief enemy's sons, young ArthurHowland, was surreptitiously courting his daughter Elizabeth. As thelaw forbad 'making motion of marriage' to a girl without her parents'consent, the irascible old governor promptly hauled the 'impudent'youth into court and fined him five pounds for 'inveigeling' hisdaughter. The young lovers were not discouraged and remained constant,for seven years later Arthur was again in court, was fined and putunder bond of 50 pounds 'to refrain and desist.' The couple continuedto behave 'disorderlie and unrighteously,' finally breaking the ironwill of the old governor." They were married and, "in good time thenames of their children, Thomas Howland and Prence (Prince) Howland,were inscribed on the baptismal roll of the church."

Thomas arrived in Plymouth on the 'Fortune' in 1621.[1] In 1627 hebecame one of the Plymouth "Undertakers" who assumed the debt of thePlymouth Colony from the Company of Adventurers. His father in law,William Brewster was also an Undertaker.[6/195n] Of the eight"Undertakers" he was the only one who had not arrived at the colony onthe Mayflower in 1620.[7] He moved from Plymouth to Duxbury in 1632 orshortly thereafter.[6] Following his father in law Elder WilliamBrewster.[2] Thomas was an Assistant to the Governor in 1632, 1635, 36& 37, and from 1639 through 1656.[4] He was Governor of the PlymouthColony in 1635, and 1638, serving in that office for a total oftwenty years between 1634 and 1673 [1][2][3]

He occupied a number of other positions for the Colony. He served asthe Colony's treasurer from 1637 until 1640. He was Commissioner tothe United Colonies in 1645, 1650 and from 1653 thru 1656.[4]

On 4 Sep.1638, during his second term as Governor, Thomas presidedover the court during the trial of four men, Arthur Peach, ThomasJackson, Richard Stinnings and Daniel Cross, who had robbed andmurdered the Indian Penowanyanquis for 30 Feet of wampum and threewool coats near Providence. After hearing the evidence the jury foundthem guilty and although Cross subsequently escaped the remainingthree were hung.[11/V.1, p.96 (mss. p169)]

Thomas moved to Nauset (Eastham) in 1644[6] along with six otherfamilies[2] including those of John Doane and Edward Bangs.[6/334n]Faced with the reality of losing an ever increasing number of thefounders of the Plymouth church and their children to other towns wasdiscouraging for Bradford and he described Nauset as being "about 50Miles from hence (Plymouth), and at an outside of the country remotefrom all society;". thinking that the land was so restricted and poorthat couldn't hold all who had first wanted to go there nor would itbe able to support any growth of population. A number of families weredetermined to settle there having "made some beginning".[6/334]

The death of William Bradford in 1657 saw Thomas elected as Governorof the Plymouth Colony every year until his death in 1673. It wasprobably the difficulty of trying to commute to Plymouth to fulfillhis various duties which prompted him in 1663 to leave Eastham afternineteen years and return to Plymouth where he lived until his death.

On 1 June 1658 an Indian named Repent was tried in the Plymouth Courtand found guilty of saying he would shoot Governor Prence and wassentenced to be whipped. JONATHAN HATCH was "found faulty in somrespect" concerning the incident and was "admonished and released".[11/V.3, p.138 (mss.p.133)]

On 5 July 1671 Gov. Thomas Prince, CONSTANT SOUTHWORTH, BenjaminBartlett and Thomas Clark were empowered by the Court to administerthe estate of WILLIAM COLLIER.[11/V.5, p98 (mss.p.79)]

BIOGRAPHY: PARTRIDGE GENEALOGY

BIOGRAPHY: DESCENDANTS OF GEORGE PARTRIDGE

BIOGRAPHY: OF DUXBURY, MASSACHUSETTS

BIOGRAPHY: [1]

BIOGRAPHY: GEORGE PARTRIDGE, the first of the family in America,arrived at
Duxbury, Mass., in or sometime prior to 1636. It is stated in
Winsor's "History of Duxbury" that he came from the County ofKent
in England.

BIOGRAPHY: The first mention of his name upon the records ofPlymouthCounty
was in that year (1636), when he was granted five acres of landat
Powder Point, with permission from the court to settle thereon.In
the next two years and also in 1666, he received additionalgrants
of land about Duxbury, amounting in all to about two hundredacres.

BIOGRAPHY: Winsor styles him "one of the most respectable yeomanry ofthe
colony." In 1643 his name appears in a list of those able tobear arms.In 1646 he was
constable. Of this office Winsor says: "This was an office ofhigh
trust and responsibility and none were elected to it but men ofgood
standing."

BIOGRAPHY: Later he was a "Surveyor of Highways" and a grand-jury man.

BIOGRAPHY: He was either a private or a non-commissioned officer inCapt.Miles
Standish's Company.

BIOGRAPHY: He was one of the original purchasers of Middleborough.

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

Zerubbabel Endecott was born in 1635 in Salem. He married Mary Smith,the daughter of Samuel and Sarah Smith. She was born in Wenham, MA in1636 and died June 20, 1677 in Salem. He married second ElizabethWinthrop. He was made freeman in 1665. His farm in what is now Danverswas called the orchard and the site had now disappeared under a K-Martparking lot. The building was dismantled and the lumber used as far aspossible to construct a barn that is a museum at the Rebecca Nursehomestead, property that once was owned by the Endicotts. The Endicottfamily once owned adjacent property and had at least one confrontationwith the Nurse family at the boundary line. He was a doctor and hisbook of recipes for the medicines he used is still in existence. Hedied in Jan 1683/84.

Zerubbabel Endicott, under the terms of his father's will, came intopossession of an extensive estate. He lived at Salem, Mass., where hepracticed
medicine and reared a family of 10 children. No information has beenfound yet pertaining to his education. He may have received someeducation in
England, but research has not been conducted on this. This interestingold Biblical name -- favored by the Puritans -- was the name of theson of
Shealtiel and the grandson of King Jehoiachin (see Ezra 3:2; Haggai1:1 and Matthew 1:12) He was h eir to the throne of Judah (IChronicles 3:17-19)
and is listed in the genealogy of our Lord (Matthew 1:13; Luke 3:27).When Cyrus allowed the Jews to return to their own land, he appointed
Zerubbabel governor of the colony. It would be interesting to knowexactly why John Endicott picked this name for his second son. Perhapshe saw a
parallel. Zerubbabel married about 1654 to Mary Smith, the daughter ofSamuel Smith and Sarah [-?-], of Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, England.Mary was
born in Wenham, Mass., and died 20 June 1677. They had 13 children.Zerubbabel died in 1684 and left a will, which gave his fifth son,Joseph
one-third of the Ipswich farm, one-fifth of the Chirkering farm.Joseph was the residual legatee of his brothers John and Samuel.Joseph's brother,
Benjamin, died in 1735 and left no children. According to Zerubbabel'swill, Joseph also received a share of Benjamin's farm at Topsfield.

"Zerubbabel Endecott was a physician at the Salem Colony. His will wasdated November 1683." World Family Tree Volume 11, tree 4065 gaveinformation that Zerubabel married twice. The second marriage was toElizabeth Winthrop, daughter of Governor Winthrop. There was noreference for this information and there was no issue from thismarriage.
Tedd Sanford, 1030 Sherwood Drive, Radcliff, Kentucky, 40160-1155 in a1998 booklet wrote that Zerubbabel wrote a compilation of curativesused in his time that was entitled, "Synopsis Medicinae or aCompendium of Galenical and Chemical Physick showing the Art ofHealing according to the Precepts of Galen at Paraclesus FittedUniversally to the Whole Art of Healing." This work containedinteresting curatives which lead the mind to ponder how a subsequentgeneration could have judged others of their peers to have beendabbling in witchcraft. For example: (verbatim)
For ye Colik or Flux in ye Belly
1. The powder of Wolves Guts, 2. The powder of Bores Stones (hogtesticles?) 3. Oyle of Wormwood a drop or 2 into the Nauell (navel?)4. 3 drops of oyle of Fenil and 2 drops of oyle of mints in Conserveof Roses or Conserve of single mallows., if ye paine be estream Use ita gaine, and if need require aply something hott to the belly.
For a Person that is Distracted If it be a Woman

For Shingles
Take Howse leeke Catts Blod and Creame mixed together and oynt theplace warme or that the moss that groweth in a well and Catts blodmixed and so aply it warme to the plase whar shingles be.

An intersting anecdote is preserved for us. In 1654, Elizabeth Dew,Mrs.
Endicott's maid, complained that Zerubbabel Endicott ill-treated her
while she was employed making lace, pulling her cushion from her andso
forth. From "Trades & Tradesmen of Essex Co., Mass." by Henry Wyckoff
Belknap (1929), p. 52. So here we have Zerubbabel at the age of 19trying
to get some attention.
Note: He matured and became a noted physician.

Nathaniel Felton came to Salem in 1633, when 17 years of age; he madea voyage to England in 1634, and returned in 1635; he settled nearFelton Hill, Salem, about 1645, the part afterwards called Danvers -now since 1876, Peabody. He was juryman in 1655, and a constable in1657; he was chosen Ensign in 1679, and Lieutenant in 1681. He becamea member of the church in 1648, and his two oldest children werebaptized that year. Reverend Dr. Felt, author of Annals of Salem,says, "He was a man of good faith and judgment. He was frequentlycalled to give his testimony about litigated estates." In 1676, he wasappointed appraiser of the estate of his brother-in-law, ChristopherWaller. In 1684, was appointed overseer and appraiser of ZerubbabelEndicott's estate. Nathaniel Felton's deposition of April 6, 1705,signed by his own hand, says he has been in Salem, 72 years. The sametime he testified that North River in Salem was called Naumkeag by theIndians.

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

Emigrated to America
20 NOV 1658 Bought a homestead
Charged with witchcraft

Text excerpted and edited from The History of Salem, Massachusetts,Vol. III by Sidney Perley, 1924.

George Jacobs came to Salem in or before 1674, and settled in thatportion of the town which is now Danvers, northwesterly of Great Cove.His son George Jacobs built, in 1677, the ancient Jacobs house, whichis still standing (1924), and which has been in the family ever since.In 1718, a section of the house was called "the gun room".

George Jacobs, Sr., his son George Jacobs, Jr., the latter's wifeRebecca and their daughter Margaret, were accused of witchcraft, andthe father was tried. He was examined May l0th 1692, and the accusinggirls were present in full force· His examination was as follows :--

Jacobs: I am as innocent as the child born tonight. I have livedthirty-three years here in Salem.

Court: What then?

Jacobs: If you can prove that I am guilty I will lie under it.

Sarah: Last night I was afflicted at Deacon Ingersoll's, and MaryWalcott said it was a man with two staves.
It was my master . . .

Jacobs: Pray do not accuse me. I am as clear as your worships. Youmust do right judgments.

Court: What book did he bring you, Sarah ?

Sarah: The same book that the other woman brought.

Jacobs: The devil can go in any shape.

Court: Did he not appear on the other side of the river and hurt you?Did not you see him?

Sarah:Yes, he did.

Court: Look there, she accuseth you to your face, she chargeth youthat you hurt her twice. Is it not true?

Jacobs: What would you have me say? I never wronged no man in word ordeed.

Court: Here are three evidences.

Jacobs: You tax me for a wizard. You may as well tax me for a buzzard.I have done no harm.

Court: Is it not harm to afflict these?

Jacobs: I never did it.

Court: But how comes it to be in your appearance?

Jacobs: The devil can take any license.

Court: Not without their consent.

Jacobs: Please your worships, it is untrue, I never showed the book. Iam silly about these things as the child born last night.

Court: That is your saying. You argue you have lived so long, but whatthen, Cain might live so long before he killed Abel and you might livelong before the devil had so prevailed on you.

Jacobs: Christ hath suffered three times for me. . .

Court: What three times ? He suffered the cross and gal . . .

Sarah:You had as good confess if you are guilty.

Jacobs: Have you heard that I have any witchcraft?

Sarah: I know that you lead a wicked life.

Jacobs: Let her make it out.

Court: Doth he ever pray in his family?

Jacobs: Not unless by himself.

Court: Why do you not pray in your family?

Jacobs: I cannot read.

Court: Well you may pray for all that. Can you say the Lord's prayer?Let us hear you.

Record: (He might [missed] in several parts of it and could not repeatit right after many trials.

Court: Sarah Churchill, when you wrote in the book you was showed yourmaster's name you said.

Sarah:Yes sir.

Jacobs: Well, burn me or hang me I will stand in the truth of Christ.I know nothing of it

Sarah Churchill gave positive evidence against Mr. Jacobs, andsubsequently Sarah Ingersoll deposed that Sarah Churchill came to her,crying and wringing her hands, seemingly much troubled in spirit. Sheasked her what the matter was. She answered that she had undoneherself. Miss Ingersoll asked what was it about, and she answered,that it was in belying herself and others in saying that she believedthat she had set her hand to the book. She answered, and said, "No,no, no; I never did." She was asked then what made her say she did.She answered that it was because they threatened her, and told herthey would put her into the dungeon along ,with Mr. Burroughs, andthus at several times she followed Miss Ingersoll, telling her thatshe had undone herself. Miss Ingersoll asked her why she did not denyshe wrote it, and she said it was because she had stood so long in itthat now she did not dare to. She said, also, that if she told Mr.Noyes but once she had set her hand to the book, he would believe her,but if she told the truth and said she had not set her hand to thebook a hundred times he would not believe her.

May 14th, warrants were issued for the arrest of George Jacobs, Jr.,and his wife Rebecca. Mr. Jacobs escaped, but his wife was arrested,and as she was taken away by the officers, her four little childrenfollowed her, but they could not go far, as the youngest was but twoyears old. They were left behind, and were cared for by neighbors. Shewas kept in irons eight months, then indicted, and set to trial Jan.3, 1692/93, being promptly acquitted. Many features of the witchcraftregime equaled in cruelty and a spirit of persecution similar to thatshown to the Quakers.

Burroughs, Procter, George Jacobs, Sr., Willard and Carrier, wereexecuted on Friday, August 19th. A procession formed at the jail onSt. Peter's Street on that day, and with the victims in a cart,proceeded to the place of the former hangings. All of them protestedtheir innocence; but Cotton Mather, who was there told them that theyall died by a righteous sentence. When Mr. Burroughs was upon theladder, he made a statement of his innocence so solemnly and seriouslythat the people, who were present in large numbers, admired him forit; and it seemed to some that the spectators would hinder theexecution. He closed his prayer by repeating the Lord's prayer socomposedly and fervently that it was very affecting and drew tearsfrom many. The accusers, who were there to see the culmination oftheir work, said .that the "black man" stood and dictated to him. Itseemed to make no difference whether the accused could repeat theLord's prayer or not, to them it was evidence of guilt of witchcrafteither way, as they pleased. As soon as the hangings ceased, CottonMather, who was on horseback, spoke to the people, and declared thatMr. Burroughs was not an ordained minister and that Devil was oftentransformed into an angel of light. This somewhat appeased the people.When Mr. Burroughs was cut down, he was dragged by the halter to ahole or grave between the rocks, about two feet deep, his shirt andbreeches being pulled off, and an old pair of trousers of one of theother men who was executed, put on. He was put into the hole with thebodies of Willard and Mrs. Carrier. One of his hands and his chin anda foot of one of the others were left uncovered. After dark, Mr.Buffum went to the crevice and covered the exposed parts of theirbodies.

Some of the bodies of the executed were carried away, at least, thatis true of the Salem victims. Under the ridge where the executionoccurred was the North River, between which and the ridge was theancient highway. It was easy to pass the bodies to a boat in thestream, and from 'thence up North and Danvers rivers to the GreatCove, near George Jacob's home, up North River to John Procter's home,and up North, Danvers, and Crane rivers to the home of Mrs. Nurse.Those bodies which had not been taken away were buried near the lineof the fence, northwesterly from the crevice. About 1750, some locusttrees were set out to mark the place of their burial. One tree stoodin the crevice and another about forty feet northwesterly on the lineof the present fence. About 1850, the crevice was cleared of the loamand dirt within it by scraping it down to improve the garden of Mr.Stephens. The writer has a piece of the stump of one of tile treeswhich were dug up at that time.

Margaret Jacobs, daughter of George Jr., and Rebecca Jacobs alsotestified against her grandfather, and the day following hisexecution, she wrote from Salem jail a letter to her father, asfollows:

Honored father--After my humble duty remembered to you, hoping in theLord of your good health, as blessed be God I enjoy, though inabundance of affliction being close confined here in a loathsomedungeon, the Lord look down in mercy upon me, not knowing how soon Ishall be put to death, by means of the afflicted persons. Mygrandfather having suffered already and all his estate seized for theking. The reason of my confinement is this, I having, through themagistrates threatenings, and my own vile and wretched heart,confessed several things contrary to my own conscience and knowledge,though to the wounding of my own soul, the Lord pardon me for it. ButO, the terrors of a wounded conscience, who can bear ? But blessed bethe Lord, he would not let me go on in my sins, but in mercy, I hope,to my soul, would not suffer me to keep it in any longer, but t wasforced to confess the truth of all before the magistrates who wouldnot believe me, but 'tis their pleasure to put me here, and God knowshow soon I shall be put to death. Dear father, let me beg your prayersto the Lord on my behalf, and send me a joyful and happy meeting inHeaven. My mother, poor woman, is very crazy, and remembers her kindlove to you and to uncle, viz. d--A--, so leaving you to theprotection of the Lord, I rest your dutiful daughter.

MARGARET JACOBS
From the dungeon
in Salem prison,
Aug. 20, 1692

Margaret Jacobs was then only sixteen. At the next session of thecourt, she confessed that she had done wrong, as follows:

"The Lord above knows I know nothing in the least measure, how or whoafflicted them, they told me without doubt I did, or else they wouldnot fall down at me, they told me if I would not confess I should beput down into the dungeon and would be hanged, but if I would confessI should have my life. The which did so affright me with my own vileheart, to save my life made me make the like confession I did, whichconfession, may it please the honored court is altogether false anduntrue . . . Whatever I said was altogether false against mygrandfather and Mr. Burroughs, which I did to save my life and to havemy liberty, but the Lord, charging it to my conscience, made me in somuch horror that I could not contain myself before I had denied theconfession; which I did, though I saw nothing but death before me,choosing rather death with a quiet conscience than to live in suchhorror, which I could not suffer. Whereupon my denying my confession Iwas committed to close prison."

When she was brought to trial, she was troubled with "a disorder inher head," and her case was continued. She remained in confinementafter the jail delivery because she could not pay the fees and chargesof the jailer.

One hundred and twenty-five persons were accused in all. In 1703, thegeneral court repaid to the heirs of persons executed and condemnedand not executed the pecuniary damages they severally sustained. InSalem, on account of George Jacobs, seventy-nine pounds, GeorgeBurroughs, fifty pounds, Giles Corey and his wife, twenty-one pounds,Rebecca Nurse, twenty-five pounds, John Willard, twenty pounds, SarahGood, thirty pounds, John Procter and his wife, one hundred and fiftypounds. Some six hundred pounds were thus paid out to the estates ofthe several persons.

Several of the executed were members of the church, and wereexcommunicated as they were about to suffer. This made the executionsdoubly terrible, as many believed that the church membership wasalmost the very key to heaven.

Of the after life of the accusing girls, nothing is known. Ann Putnamis said to have died in 1716, at the age of thirty-seven. They seemedto have vanished.

p. 376).
He is the ancestor of probably three quarters of the Putnams ofAmerica.
His ancestry can be traced back through the Putnams and Puttenhams of
County bucks in England for many generations. John Putnam's
grandfather could claim relationship to the great John Hampden and
other illustrous families in England. John came to [the American]shores
in 1634, and settled in Salem, Mass. The earliest record of him is in
1641, when he was granted land by the town in what is now Danvers,--to
be a little more exact, that portion of Danvers known as Beaver Brook.
Oak Knoll, the poet Whittier's home, was part of this grant, and theold
well is still to be seen situated near the road and some few rods tothe
southeast of its present mansion. John Putnam and his sons soon had
large possessions of real estate in that vicinity, and much of theland is
even now [as of 1906] in the possession of his descendants. Thechildren
of John Putnam were all born and baptized at Aston Abbots in bucks
county, England. Ann, the granddaughter of his son Thomas, madeherself
notorious in 1692, as one of the bewitched girls during witchcraft
times. (_The History of the Town of Lyndeborough, New Hampshire,
1735-1905_, by Rev. D. Donovan and Jacob A. Woodward, The Tufts
College Press, H.W. Whittemore & Co, 1906, p. 826.)

John Putnam, the founder of the Salem family, was the son of Nicholasand Margaret (Goodspeed) Putnam, and was baptized 17 January 1579-80at Wingrave, Buckinhamshire, in the parish he was undoubtedly born.His father, Nicholas, had inherited from his younger brother Richard,an estate in lands in Wingrave bequeathed him by their father JohnPutnam. No record of the transfer of this property by Nicholas hasbeen found, yet at the latter's death in 1597, he then being ofStewkley, there is no mention of Wingrave property. Nicholas, however,gave to his son John his houses and lands in Aston Abbotts, of whichwe have found no record as to how he became possessed. The Putnam farmwas probably in Burstone, a locality adjoining Rowsham in Wingrove.John probably lived in Stewkley with his parents until his father'sdeath, and then being of age capable to conduct a farm, seems to havetaken possession of the property given him by this father and to havecontinued in possession, occupying himself with its care, until hismigration to New England. In 1614, when his name appears on hismother's marriage license as one of the sureties, he is described ashusbandman. No further mention is found of him In England, except uponthe occasions of the baptism of his children, who were baptized atAston Abbotts.
Grants of land, were made by the town of Salem to John Putnam and tohis sons on their own account. The first grant is not of record, andthe land so granted was not occupied by him. The earliest recordedgrant, which was that on which he established his homestead, was 100acres, on the 10-11 No., 1640, or January, 1641, new style.
At a meeting the 20th of the l1 month (1640). there being present, Mr.Endecott, Mr. Hathorne, John Woodbury, Jeffry Massy, the selectmen,there was 'Graunted to John Putnam on hundred acres of land at thehead of Mr. Skelton's Farme between it and Elias Stilemen the elderhis Farme, if there be an hundred acres of it. Ant it is in exchangeof one hundred acres wch was graunted to the siad John Putnam formerly& if it fall out that there be not such there then to be made up nearsLieutenant Davenport's hill. to be layd out by the towne. And Tenneacres of meadow in the meadow coiled the pine meadow if it be notthere formerly graunted to others." The was also ‘Graunted Fiftieacres of land unto Thomas Putnam and Five acres of meadow both to belayed out by the towne."
At a meeting of the selectmen. 17-3 mo., 1662, 'There being formerliedgraunted unto John Putnam Senr 50 acres of land and Complaint beingmade that the said land laid out to him is not soe much it is orderedthat the layers out of the land shall make up what the said land shallwant of his grant in land lying between his sonne Nathanael's land andRichard Huchisson."
At a meeting of the selectmen, 26-9 mo., 1649, there was ‘Graunted toNathanael Putnam Fiftie acres of land lying beyond Elias StilemanFarme bounding upon Mr. Thorndicke & soe upon Captaine HathornesFarmes."
At a meeting of the selectmen, 26-12 mo., 1654/5, there was "Grantedto John Putnam Junr 30 acres of upland neare adjoyning to the Farmesof Captayne Hathorne John Rucke and William Nicols, being in exchangof the 30 acres he should have had at the end of Captaine Hathorne hisFarme, and the same day itt was "Ordered that wheras there is a smallportion of rockie land adjoyning unto the farm latelie in thepossession of Caption Hathorne but now possest by John Putnam Senr,Richard Huchisson Daniell Ray and John Hathorne upon the request ofthe said parties the said Rocke land is graunted unto them uponconsideration of the summe of twentie shillings.'
In deeds John Putnam is described as both husbandman and yeoman. Hewas a man of substance and probably of as much education as hiscontemporaries, but neither seeking or desiring public office. In 1653he divided his lands between his sons Thomas and Nathaniel, havingevidently already granted his homestead to his younger son John.
From the Salem Church Records we find that Priscilla wife of JohnPutnam was admitted a member of that church 21-1 mo., 1641, that hewas admitted 4-2 mo., 1647, and his daughter Eliza in 1643.
There is no record of the death of his wife, nor settlement of eitherher or his estate. John Putnam died 30-10 mo., 1662.
At a general town meeting hold the 7th day of the 5th month 1644 itwas ordered "that twoe be appointed every Lords day to walke forth inthe time of Gods worshippe, to take notice of such as either lye aboutthe meeting house without attending to the word or ordinances, or thatlye at home or in the fields, without giving good account thereof, andto take the names of such persons & to present them to the Magistrate,whereby they may be accordingly proceeded against"
John Putnam and John Hathorne were appointed for the ninth day. Theothers were Stileman, Verin, Batter, Downing, Molton, Ingersoll,Pettingall, Porter, Barney, Johnson, Clark, Haynes, Hutchinson, Bishopand Ray, all men of prominence and to whom a perusal of the recordsshows that the town people looked with respect.'
History of the Putnam Family, Eben Putnam, vol. 1, pages 1, 4 - 6

The name comes from Puttenham, a place in England, and this perhapsfrom the Flemish word putte, a well," plural putten and ham,signifying a "home," and the whole indicating a settlement by a well.
John Putnam, of Aston Abbotts in the county of Bucks, England, wasborn about 1580, and died suddenly in Salem Village, now Danvers,Massachusetts, December 30, 1662, aged about eighty years. It is knownthat he was resident in Aston Abbotts, England, as late as 1627, asthe date of the baptism of his youngest son shows, but just when hecame to New England is not know. Family tradition is responsible forthe date 1634, and the tradition is known to have been in the familyover one hundred and fifty years. In 1641, new style, John Putnam wasgranted land in Salem. He was a farmer and exceedingly well off forthose times. He wrote a fair hand, as deeds on file show. In thesedeeds he styled himself "yeomen"; once, in 1655, "husbandman." Hisland amounted to two hundred and fifty acres, and was situated betweenDavenpot's hill and Potter's hill. John Putnam was admitted to thechurch in 1647, six years later than his wife, and was also a free manthe same year. The town of Salem, in 1644, voted that a patrol of twomen be appointed each Lord's day to walk forth during worship and takenotice of such who did not attend service and who were idle, etc., andto present such cases to the magistrate; all of those appointed weremen of standing in the community. For the ninth day John Putnam andJohn Hathorne were appointed. The following account of the death ofJohn Putnam was written in 1733 by his grandson Edward: "He ate hissupper, went to prayer with his family and died before he went tosleep."

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

The family name was originally spelled Bowreman, and Lower, in hisDictionary of English Family Names, says it was probably derived froman Anglo Saxon word meaning bower or bedchamber, thus signifying thatthe bearer was a "chamberlain of some great feudal household, or onewho was admitted to the private apartments and councils of the lord."
The records say that Thomas Boreman was made freeman by the GeneralCourt of Massachusetts in 1634-5. His first grant of land in Ipswichwas recorded in 1635. His first house was built on High Street nowcalled East Street, and his near neighbor was John Winthrop, Jr., sonof the Governor, and leader of the Ipswich Colony.
He sold his house on High Street in 1647, and spent the closing yearsof his life on his farm, an island still called by his name,Boardman's Island, as is also the street and bridge leading to it. Thefarm is thus described:-"An Island about fifty and five acres of medowand upland, bounded on the north and northeast by the Town River, andon the east by a creek, parting it and an Island belonging to JohnPerkins the Elder, and on the south a p'sell of Land formerly grantedto George Carr, and on the west the great creek called Labour invayne."
Besides the "medow and upland" there was a salt marsh and thatchground, so called from the rushes that grew there suitable forthatching houses. Provision was made by the General Court that certainsuch grounds should "be for the use of the whole town, to be improvedfor thatching houses". The early dwellings were roofed with thatchlike those left in the old homes in England.

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

Richard Hutchinson was born in Arnold, Nottinghamshire, England in1602. His date of his birth is ascertained from a deposition on filein the office of the Essex County Court, Salem, Mass., where in a caseof Cromwell vs. Ruck, 1660, he states his age as being 58 years. Hemarried his wife Alice Bosworth on 7 Dec 1627, in Cotgrave,Nottinghamshire. His first four children, Alice, Elizabeth, Mary andRebecca, were born in England, all except Rebecca in Nottinghamshire.

He emigrated to America in 1634, with his wife Alice, and fourchildren, and settled in Salem Village, now Danvers, in the vicinityof Whipple and Hathorne's hill. There is some evidence, however,gleaned from the town records of Salem, that he may have primarilysettled in the town proper, from the fact that in July 25, 1689, onePhilemon Dickerson was granted four poles of land "neere RichardHutchinson's house, to make tan pitts and to dress goates skinnes andhieds." As tanning was not known to have been carried on in SalemVillage at so early a period, much time has been spent in discoveringthis locality, but without avail; as after this, his name seems tohave disappeared from the records of Salem.

He and his wife were members of the First Church, Salem, as early as1636, on whose records he is first mentioned in connection with thebaptism of his daughter Abigail.

The first official notice made of him is in the town records, when itis stated that in recognition of his public spirit, as being thepossessor and introducer of the first plow brought into this country,he was granted one hundred and forty acres of land by the townauthorities.

In 1636, Mr. Hutchinson received a grant of 60 acres of land from thetown, and Apr. 3, following, 20 acres more. In the same year he wasappointed on a committee to survey Jeffrey's Creek (now Manchester),and Mackerell Cove. April 17, 1637, it was voted "that in case Ric'dHuchenson shall sett up plowing within 2 years he may haue 20 acresmore to bee added to his pportion." This appears to be in consequenceof the great scarcity of ploughs, there being but thirty-seven in allthe settlements. In 1648, at Salem Village, he bought of EliasStileman, his farm of 150 acres, for £15. He then sold half of it toNathaniel Putnam in 1651.

After his first wife's death, he married Oct. 1668, Susanna, widow ofSamuel Archard.

The records do not show him to have been officially engaged in manymatters of public trust, but he was undoubtedly a man of indomitableperseverance, great vigor of mind and physical endurance, a strictdisciplinarian in religious affairs, a thorough agriculturist, and ashe had amassed a large landed estate, he had, before the close of hislife, divided much of his property among his children.

On the decease of James Standish, Mr. Hutchinson was appointedadministrator. Richard later married his widow, Sarah Standish. At histhird marriage he must have been at least 79 years of age, andcertainly 66 on his second.

His will was signed Jan. 19, 1679, and proved Sept. 28, 1682. He diedon 11 Feb. 1681/1682. His widow survived him, and shortly aftermarried for her third husband, Thomas Roots, of Manchester, whose Willwas proved Nov. 27, 1683. She was living as late as March 1683-4.

His will stated in part that his wife was to be made comfortable forone of her age by Richard¹s son Joseph; to have what she had when theymarried if she wished to remove; he bequeathed property to son-in-lawAnthony Ashby and daughter Abigail, his wife; son-in-law DanielBoardman and daughter Hannah, his wife; sons-in-law Nathaniel Putnam,Thomas Hale and James Hadlock; grandchildren Bethia Hutchinson andSarah Hadlock; servant, Black Peter. His son Joseph was appointedexecutor.

_The Pioneers of Massachusetts, by Charles Henry Pope, pp. 249-250.

_Story of the Hutchinsons_, by John Wallace Hutchinson," published in1896.

Richard Hutchinson, fourth son and sixth child of Thomas and AliceHutchinson, was the pioneer of the family in America. He was born in1602, as indicated by his deposition on file in Salem, Massachusetts.emigrated to America in 1634 with his wife Alice and four children,and settled in Salem village, now Danvers, in the vicinity of Whippleand Haythorn's Hill. There is some evidence in the town records ofSalem that he may have originally settled in the old town. In 1636 hereceived a grant of sixty acres of land from the town, and on April 3,following he received twenty acres more. In the same year he wasappointed on a committee to survey what is now Manchester and MackerelCove. On April 17, 1647, it was voted "that in case Ric'd Huchensonshould sett up plowing within 2 years he may haue 20 acres more to beeadded to his pportion." It seems that there was a great scarcity ofplows, there being only thirty-seven in all the settlements. In 1648Richard Hutchinson bought at Salem village, of Elias Stileman, hisfarm of one hundred end fifty acres, the consideration being fifteenpounds. The records do not show him to have been much in officialstation, but he was undoubtedly a man of much force of character andgreat physical endurance. He was a thorough agriculturist and amasseda large estate. Most of this he divided among his children before theclose of his life. He and his wife were members of the First Church ofSalem as early as 1636, and he was a strict disciplinarian inreligious affairs. His will was signed January 19, 1769, and provedSeptember 22, 1682, which would indicate that his death occurred inthe early part of the latter year.

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

Admitted to church 1648 Salem Village, Essex, Massachusetts
He was a leader in the witchcraft hysteria, but supported RebeccaNurse
From "Life of Israel Putnam" by Increase Tarbox:
Received a fourth part of his fathers estate and his wife had broughthim 75 acres of land. Nathaniel was deputy to the General Court. Hehad great business activity and ability, and was a person ofextraordinary powers of mind, of great energy and skill in themanagement of affairs, and of singular sacagity, acumen and quicknessof perception.

From J. B. Felt's "Annals of Salem" 2nd Edition, 1845
Nathaniel admitted to the 1st Church of Salem-1648, Resident ofSalem--1641

Nathaniel Putnam , one of three influential immigrant brothers, becamehead of the prominent Putnam family of Danvers, MA after his brotherThomas died in 1686. Nathaniel was smart, perceptive and energetic,very active in business and skilled at it. With his father JohnPutnam, Nathaniel left Aston Abbots, Buckinghamshire, England about1634 and came to New England. He married Elizabeth Hutchinson in 1651.Before 1673, he and his brother John invested in an ironworks on landsthey owned in nearby Rowley. When the financially-troubled enterpriseburned in 1674, they sued the managers for negligence. For years,Nathaniel joined his neighbors in protesting that Salem Village ("theFarms," later Danvers) was too far away from Salem for its men to beexpected to share in mandatory guard duty there. For that and otherreasons, he wanted Danvers to become independent from the town ofSalem. In 1669 a Salem court ordered him to apologize publicly overthis issue or pay a fine of 20 pounds.

In 1681, second in wealth only to his brother Thomas, Nathaniel wastaxed 9 pounds 10 shillings, while Francis Nourse was only taxed 18shillings and Samuel Nourse and John Tarbell were each taxed one poundfour shillings. He lived on 75 acres acquired from his father-in-lawRichard Hutchinson. Even after Danvers built its own church in 1672,(Nathaniel served on the first building committee), a Salem constableseized two and a half acres from his front yard because he refused topay taxes to support the Salem congregation. He was a steadfastservant to the Danvers church. With his relatives and neighbors (butnot his wife), he put his stubby signature on the first Danvers churchcovenant on Nov. 19, 1689.

"We do, in some measure of sinceritie, this day give up ourselves untoGod in Christ, to be for him and not for another, at the same timerenouncing all the vanities and Idols of this present evil world..."
Church Covenant, Salem Village, 1689

Nathaniel knew the Nourses for forty years. His land holdings borderedon the Nourses to the south, and the two families bickered about theproperty line. Yet when Rebecca Nourse was accused of witchcraft bysome of his Putnam relatives, Nathaniel defended her, writing to thecourt, "She hath brought up a great family of children and educatedthem well, so that there is in some of them apparent savor ofgodliness." Thirty other neighbors signed a similar letter.

Nathaniel's son Capt. Benjamin Putnam (708) was head of the Putnamfamily after his father's death. He served in Danvers as church clerkin 1705 and as deacon for nine years beginning in 1709. He firstmarried Elizabeth Tarrant (709), then Sarah Holten.

William Paine in the newly incorporated town of Topsfield. The
property in Salem was sold in 1652 to Harry Bullock.
1656: additional land purchased in Topsfield.

Several other parcels also were included in this conveyance.

The Salem witchcraft trials (which affected William and Joanna's
daughters Rebecca, Mary, and Sarah) have been recently treated by
Francis Hill 1995, A Delusion of Satan. The hysteria of the young
persons who began the events is attributed to: 1) the repressive and
intolerant strictures of Puritanism which allowed little individual
freedom, exerted control by terror and shame, and ensured a monotony
of life filled with anxiety; 2) the additional discipline and control
exerted by a strong class structure; 3) the influence of rigid and
merciless, if not outright paranoid, pastor Samuel Parris who was
obsessed with seeing evil everywhere; 4) a life with strong emotional
and physical hardships including the constant fear of disease and of
Indian attack among families who lived dispersed in a rural
community; and 5) the recent revocation in 1684 of the colony's
charter and right to self-rule, an action which made uncertain the
legal status of all property ownership, the fundamental basis of the
livelihood of the inhabitants, although property disputes dated back
decades to 1639 and 1643 because both Salem and Ipswich had been
granted permission by the Massachusetts General Court to found a
village (later Topsfield) in the same locale. In this context, the
only outlet was psychological hysteria, in which the individuals were
considered to not be in control and hence not culpable, and which
also provided a diversion to others.
The specific context of Salem Village, however, allowed an
initial outbreak of hysteria to get well of hand. The Village was in
the unfortunate situation of being a separate community, but legally
part of somewhat distant Salem Town. Local disputes, such as whether
to establish a local church and appointment of a local pastor, thus
became long running without the means of resolution. In addition,
the rural provincial values of Salem Village were increasingly
challenged by the growth of Salem Town's merchantilism, its growing
prosperity which was not shared by the agrarian populace, and its
more liberal attitudes toward religion and life; economic and social
conflict was occuring between an established and entrenched elite and
more prosperous newcomers. Those first accused were misfits or
social (but not geographic) outsiders. In due course, however, the
delusions of disturbed youth may have been deliberately guided by
Thomas Putnam directly against those he considered his social,
religious and economic enemies.

WILLIAM2 TOWNE (John1) was baptized in the church of St. Nicholas,Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, on March 18, 1598/9. He was married to Jone(Joanna) Blessing on April 25, 1620, in the same church, where,between 1621 and 1634, their first six children were baptized.Inasmuch as the name Blessing has not been found after considerablesearch in the Norfolk County records at Norwich and as the marriagerecord of "Jone" is the unique instance of the name in the parishregister at Yarmouth during the period searched (1558-1611), it wouldseem probable that she was a foreigner, many emigrants from Germanyand the Low Countries having been attracted to Yarmouth by the herringfisheries in the sixteenth century. A general search for the name inrecords covering all England has been fruitless, and families namedBlessing now living in the United States claim a German origin.

The first record of William Towne in America appears in the town bookof Salem in 1640 when he was granted "a little neck of Land right overagainst his house on the other side of the river." In the same year hesued John Cook in what seems to have been a boundary dispute andobtained a verdict and costs. It is probable that Towne was in Salemsome years before 1640, however. The list of grants by the town tothat portion of its territory called the North Fields is undated andthe best opinion seems to indicate that the grants were made before1635, when the town records begin. William Towne's name appears onthis list, and it was in the North Fields that he lived.

In 1651 Towne purchased land in the neighboring town of Topsfield fromWilliam Paine of Ipswich. This farm contained forty acres "part ofwhich is plow land, another part is meaddow, another part is uplandunplowed, all lying together," bounded by William Howard toward theeast, Walter Roper on the north and a "Sertaine River" toward thesouth or southwest. There were also included two acres on the southside of the river.

He sold his Salem property to Henry Bullock in 1652 and boughtadditional land at Topsfield in 1656. In 1660 in testifying in alawsuit his age was estimated at three score years. He was made acommoner of Topsfield in 1661, and his wife was dismissed from theSalem church to that of Topsfield in 1664. On the occasion of themarriage of his son, Joseph, to Phebe Perkins, daughter of DeaconThomas Perkins, in 1663, William Towne deeded two-thirds of his realproperty to Joseph, with whom he and his wife doubtless lived for theremainder of their days.

Joanna Towne figured in a series of suits brought by and against Rev.Thomas Gilbert, the Topsfield minister, in 1670. Gilbert, by his owntestimony and that of his wife, was a sick man and he was doubtless oferratic temperament, but some of his principal parishioners laid hisacts and eccentricities to overindulgence in drink, and the courtseems to have considered their suspicions credible. Most of theevidence produced dealt with a dinner at the parsonage between twoSunday services at which Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert had Capt. John Gould,Mr. Thomas Perkins, and their wives, and old Mrs. Towne as theirguests. A gold cup (surely a rare treasure in seventeenth-century NewEngland) filled with wine was passed about the table and Mr. Gouldalleged that Mr. Gilbert drank too freely therefrom. Joanna Towne (herage being given at seventy-five) testified that on Sunday Mr. Gilberthad administered the "sacrament swetly unto us" and that after theservice "I was att dinner att Mter Gilberts table ... and sat next tohim on his right hand, and though some report that he drank too muchof the sacrament wyn ... I believe he is wronged, for I that then satnext him saw no such matter ... And I can saifly take my oath thatthough our minister had the cup twyce in his hand, yet the first tymehe drank not one drop of it, but gave it out of his hand to ThomasPerkins, bidding him give it to me, for I needed it mor than he, beingolder. When the cup had gone about, it came into his hand the secondtime and I am sure ther could not be much in it then (it may be two orthree spoon-ful) and that he drank."

At the June term of court, 1673, Joanna Towne was appointed toadminister the estate of her late husband, which fixes the approximatedate of William Towne's death. The property was probably retained byher until her death, and it was not divided until 1682, when Mary,widow of Edmund Towne, Jacob Towne, Joseph Towne, Francis Nourse, MaryEstey and Sarah Bridges addressed to the court "the Humbell peticionof us whos names are under wrighten in way of the seatellment of asmall esteat left to us by our Honered ffather deceased about tennyers agoo who died and leaft no will," and requested that the realestate be assigned to the sons and the personal property to thedaughters.

Thomas' age is determined from the statement of his age with which hebegins his will. His name does not appear on any of the passengerlists from England and the first record of him is on 4 March 1634/5when he was sworn Freeman of the Massachusetts Bay Colony at Boston.His apprentice in 1646 was Isaiah Wood. Dorman had a grant of fouracres of meadow in Ipswich and he had also an unrecorded grant of ahouse lot in the village, on which he built, selling the property toJoseph Morse before 1646. He was a commoner of Ipswich in 1641. On 1May 1651 he bought from Mr. Samuel Symonds a farm of one hundred acresin Topsfield, adjoining the farm of Francis Peabody, and probablymoved there at once. In 1656 he was fined for not warning the town'sfreemen to meet to nominate magistrates, and that same year he wasdischarged from training with the Topsfield company. He served on thecountry trial jury in 1657, 1658, 1659, 1660. In 1665 it was againrecorded that he was released from training but was to pay what hepleased for the upkeep of the company.
The will of Thomas Dorman, Sr. of Topsfield "being about seventy yearsold," was made the day before his death. It was not signed by thetestator, but was proved by the two witnesses, Francis Peabody andJohn How, 3 May 1670. To my son Thomas, my

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

Daniel Wood was one of the soldiers who took part in the three-dayexpedition to disarm the sachem of the Merrimac, Passaconoway, forwhich he was paid 3d. by the town of Ipswich on 4 December 1643. Hedied before 27 March 1649, when his widow Mary was appointedadministratrix of his estate, all of which was assigned to her for thepurpose of bringing up their two children. The inventory, taken 23March by Robert Lord and Thomas Wells, lists a house with the groundabout it, six acres at Heartbreak Hill, ten acres beyond Chebaccoriver and simple household utensils and furnishings.
Although Judge Savage expresses incredulity and both the Foster andPeabody genealogists are extremely cautious on the point, there seemsto be adequate proof that Daniel Wood's wife was Mary Foster, daughterof Renald Foster of Ipswich, and that after his death in 1649 shemarried Lieut. Francis Peabody: (a) As stated above. Wood's estate wasadministered by his widow for the benefit of their two children (b) In1680, Renald Foster mentions in his will "my daughter Mary wife offfrancis Paybody." (c) in 1679 Hepsibah (Peabody) Rea, daughter ofLieut. Francis and Mary Peabody, called Judith (Wood) Dorman "mysister," (d) Francis Peabody, in his will made in 1695/6, gave land tohis "son-in-law||: (stepson) Daniel Wood "in consideration of what Iwas obliged to do for him when come of age." Thus we can identify thetwo Wood children, Daniel being named for his father and Judith forher grand other, Judith, wife of Renald Foster.

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

According to records, Roger Conant was baptized in East Budleigh,Devonshire, England in 1592, the youngest of eight children. In 1623he emigrated to Plymouth with his wife, Sarah and son, Caleb. However,he was uncomfortable with the strict Pilgrim society in Plymouth andmoved his family to Nantasket in 1624. In the late autumn of 1625,Conant was invited by the Rev. John White and other members of theDorchester Company to move to their fishing settlement on Cape Ann astheir governor.

Still looking for more favorable conditions for a settlement, he led agroup of people to Naumkeag, now Salem, in 1626, and continued astheir governor. In 1627 a patent was solicited from England and it wasobtained by a group led by John Endicott who arrived in Naumkeag in1628. Endicott and the other settlers of the New England Company nowowned the rights to Naumkeag. Fortunately for the peaceful continuityof the settlement, Conant remained in Salem and, despite what musthave been a disappointment for him, acceded to Endicott's authority asthe new governor.

Conant built the first Salem house on what is Essex Street today,almost opposite the Town Market. In 1639, his was one of thesignatures on the building contract for enlarging the meeting house inTown House Square for the First Church in Salem. This document remainspart of the town records at City Hall. He was active in the affairs ofthe town throughout his life. In 1679, he died at the age of 87.

This dramatic, cloaked statue of Roger Conant faces the Salem Commonand stands atop a huge boulder brought from the woods near thefloating bridge at Lynn. Artist Henry H. Kitson designed this heroicbronze statue for the Conant Family Association and the statue wasdedicated on June 17, 1913.

ROGER CONANT
MASSACHUSETTS (1591-1679)

A statue of Roger CONANT stands in Historic Salem today, in tribute ofhis contribution and early settlement in Salem and the MassachusettsColony.

Roger CONANT, born 15 April 1591, was the eighth child of veryrespectable parents, Richard and Agnes (Clarke) CONANT, in EastBudleigh, Devonshire, England. At about age 18 (1609) he and his olderbrother, Christopher, went to London and established themselves incareer and community. Roger was a salter and Christopher was a grocer.During this time Roger probably married a first wife but she died in1618, leaving no children. On 11 November 1618, Roger married SarahHORTON, daughter of Thomas and Katherine (Satchfield) HORTON, at St.Ann Blackfriars in London. They had two children born there, one ofwhich died less than two months old in 1619.

By 1623 Roger and Christopher had decided to pay their voyage toAmerica. They had religious disagreements with the church andundoubtedly had an adventuresome spirit. It is known that Christophercame on the Anne to Plymouth Colony arriving in July, 1623. It isassumed that Roger, Sarah and son, Caleb (just over a year old), werealso on that ship. No other ship record of them has been discovered.

Upon arriving at Plymouth, Roger seems to have been at odds with thesettlers there, he being a Puritan, not a separatist, as they were.Some of the new settlers, particularly noteable, the Rev. John LYFORDand John OLDHAM, were expelled to Nantasket. Shortly thereafter, Rogerand his family followed them. Christopher seems to have remained inPlymouth but no further record has been found of him. Roger resided at"Conant's Island", later called "Governor's Island" in Boston Harbor.

Upon hearing of Roger CONANT's good character and ability, Rev. JohnWHITE and the Dorchester Company asked him to manage their affairs atCape Ann. Cape Ann had commenced in 1622-23 as a fishing site. Rogeragreed to take charge of the settlement in the fall of 1625. Despitethe settlement size of 200, the fishing trade did not profit and thegrowing of crops was not successful. The decision to disband thecommunity was made. Roger, himself, did not like the Cape Annlocation. A new site was chosen at Naumkeag, later called Salem. Inthe fall of 1626, the CONANTS and about 40 settlers moved to Salem.Many of their group in Cape Ann went to Virginia but Roger wasdetermined to remain in what was to become Massachusetts Colony.

In 1627-28 a patent of land in Massachusetts Colony was granted andthe news reached Salem in June, 1628. Roger expected to be appointedGovernor or agent since he had already been the agent in charge forthree years. However, one of the patentees, John ENDICOTT, was sentfrom England with about 50 new settlers and was designated theGovernor. Despite the disappointment Roger CONANT must have felt, andthe disagreements between the old and new settlers, he continued inhis effort for a successful venture there, putting the good of thepublic above his own.

Roger became a freeman 18 May 1631. He was listed with the churchmembers of Salem in 1636. He was a representative to the First GeneralCourt of Massachusetts Colony in 1636. He was appointed Essexmagistrate and served regularly on the juries of Essex County. He heldmany town offices and was a Salem Selectman for many years.

Sarah and Roger had eight more children in America. Their sixth child,Roger, was the first white child born in Salem. They primarily residedin the Bass River section of Salem, now called Beverly.

Roger died 19 November 1679 in Beverly, following the death of hiswife, Sarah. He accumulated a sizeable estate and lands.

Although Roger CONANT was not the foremost leader in Massachusetts hecertainly was instrumental in the development of it. He was a firstsettler of Salem, was agent of the beginning of the Colony for threeyears and served in many civic capacities. He was known to be of greatintegrity and character and always put the good of the community aheadof his own desires and ideas. he was an excellent arbitrator, oftensettling matters that could have caused much division and death. Also,because of his connections and reputation in England, his influencebrought the formation of the Massachusetts Colony into reality.

Roger was the youngest of eight children born to Richard and Agnes(CLARK) CONANT. He and his family came to New England probably on the"Ann", arriving in Plymouth Massachusetts in Jul 1623. As a Puritan,he was nonconformist in ideology and as such did not get along toowell with the Pilgrims at Plymouth who were Separatists in theirviews. March of 1624 brought the ship Charity to the new colony; onboard were supplies for Plymouth and the Puritan minister, Rev. JohnLyford. Trouble ensured and most of the nonconformists were expelledfrom Plymouth in July, 1664. Though not personally discharged from thecolonly, Roger soon joined the others at Nantasket and later governedat the new plantation on Cape Ann and eventually founded Salem MA.

The Chronological History of Massachusetts relates the role that Rogerplayed in early New England:

"1623 - Myles Standish successfully conducted the first organized waragainst the Indians who had been stirred to form a conspiracy againstthe English by the behavior of Andrew Weston's men in June of 1621 andother troublemakers among the colonists. It was another lean year butboats came over from England every season. Some 200 or moreSeparatists would join the group on four different ships. ..Meanwhile, in England, a group of wealthy English merchants formed theDorchester Company of Adventurers, of whom the less-radical Puritanconformist clergyman John White was prominent. Another member wasMistress Elizabeth Poole of Taunton, Somerset, who later foundedTaunton, Massachusetts. With a patent from the council of New England,a group of fishermen and planters took the Fellowship to Cape Annwhere they constructed a house and fishing stage at Stage FortPoint...Sometime during the year, non-Separatist Roger Conant and hiswife arrived in Plymouth.

As noted above, the early Cape Ann settlement was funded by JohnWhite's Dorcester Company of Adventurers. In 1622/3 fourteen hardysouls were sent by the Company to winter there. The company sentsupplies including some cattle and more settlers in 1623/4. Theyspecified that John Tilley was to oversee the planting, and ThomasGardiner had charge of the fishing operations.

"1624 - Plymouth colonists, tired of their 'common course andcondition,' convinced Bradford to end the annual practice of drawingfor plots of land and, instead, to grant permanent allotments. Laterexpanded, the new practice spurred colonists to work harder andproduce more as they were assured of enjoying the fruits of their ownlabors. In July, when a fierce drought threatened to destroy thecrops, the colonists were driven to "seek the Lord in humble andfervent prayer," according to Bradford, "and He was pleased to givethem a gracious and speedy answer, both to their own and the Indians'admiration that lived among them." The gentle rains came and stayed sothat, as Bradford wrote, "instead of famine now God gave them plenty... so as any general want or famine has not been among them since tothis day (1644)." Excluded by the Separatist Pilgrims, a disgruntledRoger Conant drew a number of non-Separatists to himself and removedup the coast to found Nantasket.
"1625 - In England, Charles I succeeded the wildly extravagant andscandalous James I whose reign had encouraged a rampage of the richand opportunistic, unsettling the balance of the economy. Now Charlesgave ear to the highly ritualistic, anti-Puritan, Anglican BishopWilliam Laud. Those Puritans who had wished to reform England and itsChurch from within began to lose hope. Bradford wrote friends in hishomeland that the colonists had 'never felt the sweetness of thecountry till this year.' Roger Conant was summoned from Nantasket toCape Ann to manage the floundering outpost, followed by his loyalgroup of non-separatist Puritans. Having unknowingly acquired ascurrilous title to a part of Cape Ann, the Plymouth residentscommenced building in the area a fishing stage of their own which wasseized by the Cape Ann interests. Captain Myles Standish almost foughtthe group but Conant cooled the soldier's temper by offering to builda new fishing stage for the Pilgrims. Hostilities continued to buildbetween the Separatists and non-Separatists. The same year, CaptainWollaston founded a colony at Passonagessit. Among the colonists wasAnglican Thomas Morton who would change Mount Wollaston to Merrymountand cause grave concern among settlements from Maine to Nantasket.

As noted by the history, the Dorecestor Company was less than thrilledwith the leadership supplied by Tilly and Gardiner at the Cape Annsite and sent our Roger to govern there also specifying Lyford astheir minister and Oldham as their Indian trader. "The informationthey (the Dorcestor Company) had of him was from one Mr. Conant, abrother of his, and well known to Mr. White. And he was so wellsatisfied therein that he engaged Mr. Humphrey, the Treasurer of thejoint adventurers, to write to him in their names and to signify thatthey had chosen him to be their Governor in that place, and wouldcommit unto him all their affirs as well fishing as planting.". Rogertook charge of the Cape Ann settlement in the fall of 1624/5, livingnear what is now Clocester MA. A fort was constructed at what is nowStagehead and was originally named Fort Conant. He lived in "the greatframe house" which had been brought over from England. That he was astatesman, of sorts is evident in his role in settling the argumentthat ensued concerning the fishing stage at Cape Ann: "The magnanimityas is justice of Conant, in this emergency, is worthy of notice.Though he had been obliged to leave Plymouth for an ecclesiasticaldiversity of views, he had no wish to encourage hostility againstthem, or any unrighteous application of their property. He knew therights of individual judgment in others, and however different it wasfrom his own, he had no heart to treat them as enemies." [NEHGS IIp236]

"1626 - ...In the autumn, Roger Conant led the remnant of the Cape Annexpedition, some 20 to 30 persons, down the coast to a place theIndians called Naumkeag, where a number of rivers formed a safe harborand good farmland was close by. Soon to be known as the Old Planters,these were the hardy souls who declined the dissolved DorchesterCompany's offer of return passage to England. Meanwhile in England,the undaunted clergymen John White and John Conant looked for newsettlers and capital."

The history cited above indicates that only a remnant of the originalnumber of settlers made the move with Roger to Salem. While this istrue, it was not because of a dwindling number in Cape Ann; by the endof the year there were about 200 people there. Apparently Roger didn'tmuch like the Cape Ann location and the Company didn't much care forthe lack of profits that the settlement generated, having lost over £3000 on the venture. Many of the settlers returned to England; ahandful went with Roger to Naumkeag (now Salem). Lyford shortlyremoved to Virginia and would have taken the settlers with him, exceptthat Conant refused to go, having "pledged his faith conditionally" tothe Dorcester Company; in this the "Old Planters" followed his lead.

Conant wrote about this time of uncertainty in a petition to theGeneral Court: "when in the infancy thereof, it was in great hassardof being deserted, I was a means through grace assisting me, to stopthe flight of those few that there then were heere with me, and thatby my utter deniall to goe away with them, who would have gone eitherfor England or mostly for Virginia, but hereupon stayed to the hassardof our lives." In 1627, the "Old Planters" received what they thoughtwas a patent for ownership of the land, only to discover that JohnEndicott and a group of 50 men had embarked for the same area underthe auspices of their separate grant to the land. When Enidicott andhis group arrived, he replaced Conant as agent, much to theconsternation of the "older" group.

In April, 1628/9, the Company in England proposed a new corporation tobe formed by a consortium of the old and new settlers. The "OldPlanters" were to retain the land they currently possessed and were tobe granted further allotments equal to those allotted to £ 50contributors in the Company. In addition, they were given a discounton the cost of Company transport, were granted the right to growtobacco and two of their members were to be appointed to the generalcouncil.

The settlement, called Naumkeag by the Indians and founded by RogerConant and his group of "Old Planters" was renamed Salem in 1628 bythe consortium. The "further allotments" to the "Old Planters" weregranted in what is now Beverly Massachusetts. Salem erected a statueof Roger, a picture of which can be seen on Welcome to Salem His homein Salem was "the great frame house" which he had moved from Cape Ann.

Biographical information, undoubtedly penned by a descendant andsubmitted to the 1903 Biographical tome for Tolland and WindhamCounties, Conn reads as follows:

"His reputation was that of a pious, sober and prudent gentleman andas he was more strongly Puritan than the people around him he waschosen to head the settlement at Cape Ann, near Stage Head, on thenorth side of what is now Gloucester Harbor. Though not recognized asthe first governor of Massachusetts, it seems he should be, as thecolony over whose destinies he so ably provided made the first realadvance toward a permanent settlement within the limits of what is nowthe State. Roger Conant was a man of intelligence, and historians payglowing tributes to his ability, integrity and honor. He was a memberof the second representative assembly ever held in America, veryshortly following a similar gathering in Virginia.(Apparently refersto the October, 1630 meeting of the General Court of Boston. Though inviolation of their charter, leaders of the Commonwealth ofMassachusetts decided that the governor and deputy governor would beelected by the freemen of the Colony, including the "Old Planters", bydemand of those in attendance, granted May 1631) The record of hisactive labor in forming that system of government which has made theU.S. great and mighty in every field of labor, or department ofthought, was the noblest heritage he could leave his children. Manyimportant offices were held by him in Salem, and for many years hisservices were continually in demand by the people. He and his wifewere among the members who assisted in forming the 1st Church at Salemin 1637, and both signed the Covenant.

Nathaniel Hawthorne's "Main Street, Salem" portrays our Roger, atleast as seen in Hawthorne's imagination:

"You perceive, at a glance, that this is the ancient and primitivewood, the ever-youthful and venerably old, - verdant with new twigs,yet hoary, as it were, with the snowfall of innumerable years, thathave accumulated upon its intermingled branches. ... In more than onespot, among the trees, an upheaved axe is glittering in the sunshine.Roger Conant, the first settler in Naumkeag, has built his dwelling,months ago, on the border of the forest-path; and at this moment hecomes eastward, through the vista of woods, with his gun over hisshoulder, bringing home the choice portions of a deer. His stalwartfigure, clad in leather jerkin and breeches of the same, stridessturdily onward, with such an air of physical force and energy that wemight almost expect the very trees to stand aside, and give him roomto pass. And so, indeed, they must; for, humble as is his name inhistory, Roger Conant still is of that class of men who do not merelyfind, but make, their place in the system of human affairs; a man ofthoughtful strength, he has planted the germ of a city. There standshis habitation, showing in its rough architecture some features of theIndian wigwam, and some of the log cabin, and somewhat too, of thestraw-thatched cottage in Old England, where this good yeoman had hisbirth and breeding.

The dwelling is surrounded by a cleared space of a few acres, whereIndian corn grows thrivingly among the stumps of the trees; while thedark forest hems it in, and seems to gaze silently and solemnly, as ifwondering at the breadth of sunshine which the white man spreadsaround him. An Indian, half hidden in the dusky shade, is gazing andwondering too. Within the door of the cottage you discern the wifewith her ruddy English cheek. She is singing doubtless a psalm tune,at her house hold work; or, perhaps she sighs at the remembrance ofthe cheerful gossip, and all the merry social life, of her nativevillage beyond the vast and melancholy sea. Yet the next moment shelaughs, with sym0pathetic glee, at the sports of her little tribe ofchildren; and soon turns round, with the home-look on her face, as herhusband's foot is heard approaching the rough-hewn threshold. Howsweet must it be for those who have an Eden in their hearts, likeRoger Conant and his wife, to find a new world to project it into, asthey have, instead of dwelling among old haunts of men, where so manyhousehold fires have been kindled and burnt out, that the very glow ofhappiness has something dreary in it."

Rev. William Walton aforesaid was educated at Emanuel's Coll.,England,
where he took his degrees in 1621 and 1625; became a clergyman; cameto
America before 1635; stopped a while at Hingham, and afterwardssettled at Marblehead.
His wife's name was Elizabeth.

William Walton. This was probably Rev. William Walton, who, as Farmersays, was minister at Marblehead nearly thirty years, though notordained; having gone there in 1639. He could have been at Lynn but ashort time, as nothing is found of him here before 1635 or after 1638.He seems to have been a man of enterprise and worth. And he was welleducated, having taken his degrees at Emanuel college. We find him atHingham, in 1635; and he was admitted a freeman in 1636. He becameinterested in the settlement of Manchester; and it seems notimprobable, went there, more or less, every year, to teach. Thepassage from Marblehead to Manchester, by water, it will be observed,is short and safe. He died in September, 1668. Mather misnames himWaltham.

ORIGIN: Dedham, Essex
MIGRATION: 1630
FIRST RESIDENCE: Watertown

CHURCH MEMBERSHIP: On 23 May 1665 the Watertown selectmen orderedseveral persons, including "old Goodman Page & his wife," to attendthe next selectmen's meeting "to answer for not attending their seatsin the meetinghouse appointed them by the town" [WaTR 1:85].
FREEMAN: Requested 19 October 1630 and admitted 18 May 1631 [MBCR1:79, 366].
EDUCATION: His inventory included a "Bible and two other small books"valued at 12s.
OFFICES: Chosen constable for Watertown, 19 October 1630 [MBCR 1:79].Trial jury in case of Walter Palmer, 9 November 1630 [MBCR 1:81].
ESTATE: On 21 April 1631 "The house of John Page of Watertown wasburnt by carrying a few coals from one house to another: a coal fellby the way and kindled in the leaves" [WJ 1:65].
Granted fifty acres in the Great Dividend in Watertown, 25 July 1636[WaBOP 5]; granted thirteen acres in the Beaverbrook Plowlands, 28February 1636/7 [WaBOP 7]; granted thirteen acres in the RemoteMeadows, 26 June 1637 [WaBOP 10].
In the Watertown Inventory of Grants John Page was credited with fiveparcels of land: three acre homestall; thirteen acres plowland in theFurther Plain [Beaverbrook Plowlands]; thirteen acres in the RemoteMeadows; fifty acres in the Great Dividend; and three acres meadow[WaBOP 112]. In the Inventory of Possessions he held six parcels, andin the Composite Inventory the same six parcels: forty acre homestall(originally a Great Dividend lot, purchased of Edward Howe); twentyacres upland (part of a Great Dividend lot, purchased of JohnCoolidge); eighteen acres of meadow in Plain Meadow (eight acrespurchased of Edward Howe, six of Robert Feake and four of SimonStone); four acres meadow at Beaver Brook (purchased of WilliamJennison); seventy acres of upland, being a Great Dividend Lot(purchased of Simon Stone); and thirty-five acres of upland, being aGreat Dividend lot (purchased of John Smith) [WaBOP 64, 144].
On 4 November 1646, with others, he pled poverty to be excused frompaying a 14s. 5d. fine, but the court, understanding that some ofthose pleading were "of good ability," considered the matter closely[MBCR 2:164].
On 6 April 1658 John Page of Watertown and Phebe his wife sold toIsaac Mixture of Watertown seventy acres of land, being a dividend,lying in Watertown, also seven acres of remote meadow in the third lot[MLR 6:436-37]. On 26 February 1652[/3] John Page of Watertown andPhebe his wife sold to Joseph Child of Watertown "one small tenement"in Watertown containing one dwelling house and four acres of land [MLR1:58-59].
The inventory of the estate of John Page of Watertown "who died aboutthe 19th December 1676" was taken 16 February 1676[/7] and wasuntotalled but included real estate valued at œ50: "half a dwellinghouse with about twelve acres of plain and four acres of meadow œ50"[MPR 5:348].
The settlement of the estate witnessed a bitter dispute pitting John,the eldest son, against Samuel Page and James Cutler. Cutler (husbandof daughter Phebe Page) and Samuel Page claimed that John kept theestate entirely to himself and refused to make a division. The courtruled in favor of John, finding the estate to be his [MCF 1687 III251, 252, 228, 240, 167].

BIRTH: Perhaps the John Page baptized Boxted, Essex, 25 September1586, son of Robert and Susanna (Syckerling) Page [NEHGR 105:26].
DEATH: Watertown 18 December 1676 "aged about 90 years" [WaVR 41].
MARRIAGE: Lavenham, Suffolk, 5 June 1621 Phebe Paine; she was baptizedLavenham 1 April 1594, daughter of William and Agnes (Neves) Paine[NEHGR 69:251]; she died Watertown 25 September 1677 "aged 87" [WaVR42].
CHILDREN:
i PHEBE, b. say 1627 (in a November 1630 letter, John Page indicatedhe had two children in New England [WP 2:316]); m. by 1662 as histhird wife James Cutler [MCF 1678 III].
ii JOHN, b. say 1629 (in a 1662 deed John Page Jr. calls his fatherJohn Page of Watertown [MLR 2:221]); m. Groton 12 May 1664 FaithDunster.
iii DANIEL, b. say 1631; bur. Watertown 10 August 1634 [WaVR]. (Thecounty copy of this record reports this as a birth rather than aburial [NEHGR 6:380], but a birth just one year after that of Samuel,who clearly survived, would be unlikely, and no further record ofDaniel is seen.)
iv SAMUEL, b. Watertown 20 August 1633 [WaVR 3]; m. by 1667 Hannah_____ (eldest child b. Watertown 12 February 1667[/7?] [WaVR 29].(Thomas Dane or Dean of Concord, in his will of 1675, made a bequestto daughter Hannah Page; Thomas had second wife Mildred, and Samueland Hannah (_____) Page named their second daughter Mildred [B.S. Deanand J.E. Dean, 1603-1903, A History of the William Dean Family ofCornwall, Conn., and Canfield, Ohio (Cleveland 1903), p. 31; Pope129-30].)
ASSOCIATIONS: Phebe (Paine) Page, wife of John Page, was sister ofElizabeth (Paine) Hammond, wife of WILLIAM HAMMOND of Watertown; ofDorothy (Paine) Eyre, wife of Simon Eyre of Watertown; and of WilliamPaine of Ipswich [NEHGR 69:248-252, 79:82-4, 101:242-45, 105:25-27].

COMMENTS: In a November 1630 letter to John Winthrop Jr., John Rogers,vicar of Dedham, Essex, reports that "this day I have received solamentable a letter from one John Page late of Dedham that hath hiswife and 2 children there and he certifies me that unless God stirringsome friends to send him some provision he is like to starve"; as aresult, Rogers donated 20s. to buy meal for the family [WP 2:316].Dedham, Essex, is a parish adjacent to Boxted where records of thisPage family are found. The two children who came to New England withJohn Page are apparently Phebe and John.
Some sources claim that John Page had daughters Elizabeth and Maryliving in 1660, but the evidence for this is not seen [NEHGR 101:242,245, 105:26].
4 December 1638: "Isack Sternes & John Page were fined 5s. for turningthe way about, & day was given till the next Court" [MBCR 1:247].
John Page took an unusual approach to the Watertown land grantingprocess. As shown by the Inventory of Grants, he received the usualsequence of land grants down to 1637, when he had his share of theRemote Meadows, but he did not share in any later grants. About 1637or 1638 he apparently sold off all these parcels which came directlyto him from the town, for in the various inventories of Watertown landthree of the five parcels appear in the hands of John Biscoe and onein the hands of Michael Barstow. The fate of the homestall is unknown,but this was certainly sold as well, and as this parcel carried withit the proprietary rights in future divisions, John Page did notreceive a Farm in 1642.
In the Composite Inventory, which showed landholding as of about 1644,Page held only parcels of land that he had bought from others, andthese were almost all in the Great Dividend, close to one another butsome way from the center of town. Since Page received thirteen acresin the Beaverbrook Plowlands and in the Remote Meadows, and since hisfamily had at most five members at this time, he must have hadconsiderable wealth in cattle. Combine this with his virtual absencefrom town affairs, and the occasional rebuke for antisocial behavior,and one has the picture of a man of some substance who was attemptingto withdraw from society, build his own little empire, and interact aslittle as possible with authority.
Many secondary sources claim that the immigrant John Page removed toGroton in 1662 and returned to Watertown in 1675 after the burning ofGroton, but this was the son John, as shown by the births of hischildren in Groton in the late 1660s and early 1670s, as well asrecords in Watertown that show that the elder John Page was still inWatertown during these years [WaTR 1:85, 94, 98].
James Knapp deposed in 1678 about working with John Page Jr. atPiscataqua, as many Watertown men of the second generation did, andhow young John redeemed a mortgaged piece of John Sr.'s land [MCF 1678III]. John Hammond deposed that "being at my Uncle Page's house myAunt Page was very importunate with my Uncle to give Samuel Page apiece of land and my Uncle Page's answer was
Thou knowest it wasmortgaged and my son John Page hath redeemed it and it is his'" [MCF1678 III]. John Page Jr. submitted his account of things he had donefor his father when the younger John was a single man, having managedhis estate for ten years except about five months when he was in LongIsland, and about a fortnight "to help James Cutler when his house wasburnt" [MCF 1678 III].
At the court of 2 April 1650 daughter Phebe Page sued John Flemmingand his wife for slanderously saying that she was with child. Thiscase illustrated a family at odds with itself; with the depositions ofover twenty neighbors, it seemed that the entire town was talkingabout them [Pulsifer 1:6-8]. Flemming defended himself and said thathis words were based on "the common practice of Phebe Page, & thereport of her own friends." "John Spring being on the watch onSaturday night after midnight testified that he met John Poole & PhebePage together, and he asking them why they were so late, she answeredbecause she could dispatch her business no sooner & he said he wentwith her because he lived with her father." Anthony White alsowitnessed that "Phebe Page said she must either marry within a monthor run the country or lose her wits," and also that "Phebe Page saidmy mother I can love and respect, but my father I cannot love."William Parker deposed that, having "much discourse with Phebe'smother, she wished her daughter had never seen Poole for she wasafraid she was with child." White advised her to return to herfather's house again and "she answered no, before I will do so I willgo into wilderness as far as I can & lie down and die." Percewitnessed that "Goodman Page coming to his house said thus that whatwith his wife and daughter, he was afraid they would kill him, andconstantly affirmed the same." Goody Mixture testified that "old Pagesaid if she knew as much as he, Phebe deserved to be hanged." Parkeragain testified "he living at Long Island & Phebe Page there also, shewould not keep the house one night, but kept a young man company, andthey were both whipped for it by the magistrates' order there, alsothat she confessed" and both were censured. Joseph Tainter said "hewas informed by one that lived at Long Island that Phebe Pageconfessed herself she had carnal copulation with a young man at theIsland." Phebe withdrew her action, and the Court granted thedefendant costs œ2 4s. 6d. John Page Senior confessed a judgment ofthe costs of Court against his daughter

BIRTH: Extracted from Parish Register in Abbey Church at Waltham, HolyCross, Essex, England; 28 Oct 1905; by J. Henry Stamp, Curate; Vollll; pg 137

HISTORY: In May 1660, a colony went from Ipswich to Quaboag, which wassubsequently renamed Brookfield; Daniel joined the group in 1668. Hissons James and Thomas went with him. He was still living there in May,1672, but had settled in Hadley before the massacre in Brookfield in1675. Town was destroyed by fire during massacre.

Daniel Hovey was one of the early settlers of Ipswich, Mass., arrivingin 1635 at the age of 17. He married Abigail, daughter of CaptainRobert Andrewes and Elizabeth Franklin of Ipswich circa 1641. AbigailAndrewes' ancestry is noteworthy. Her father, Robert, retained theEnglish spelling of Andrews. Robert's aunt, Mrs. Johane Andrewes,widow of Thomas Andrewes, resided in London on Tower Hill. Her son,Lancelot, the Bishop of Winchester, assisted in crowning Elizabeth andJames I. Lancelot was Ist in the list of 54 learned men selected tomake what is known as the "King James" version of the bible. The WidowJohane Andrewes left one-third part of the ship called "The Mayflower"to her son Thomas, and her brother-in-law, William. William settled inBoston in 1633. Thomas subsequently belonged to the Massachusetts BayCompany. Both names figure frequently on the pages of the "Log of theMayflower". Captain Robert Andrewes, father of Abigail, was master &owner of the "Angel Gabriel", which was an armed ship that came asconsort of the "James", in August of 1635. Both the James and theAngel Gabriel were caught in a terrible storm and had to part company.The James anchored near the Isles of Shoals, and the Angel Gabrielanchored off Pemaquid, on the coast of Maine. The disastrous galeimperiled the James, which finally arrived "rent asunder and split topieces in the Boston Harbor." (note:The Angel Gabriel was the firstvessel which miscarried with passengers from Old England to New. Itwas built for Sir Walter Raleigh, and sailed from Bristol, Eng.,carrying 16 guns).

to Starford [Stortford]. Thare he bout a house, and brout his famely
theather; and he went back againe to finesh matters with him he hadsould his
two, and my mother and hur children ware at Storford. Not being amonganie
aquaintans, and my fatther stayin glonger than she thout he would, orhimself
other, my mother met with sum wants and was trobeled and weapt. Idoubt not
but she layd open her wants to god, for she was a serious woman. Andmy
Sister How, she was but a lettell gurle, she went into the yard andsot doune
in the sun under the window; and laying hur hand on the ground to Riseup,
thare lae a shilling under hur hand. She brout it in. I, being alettell
boy, askt hur where she found it. She shewed me. I went and scrabledwith my
fingers in the place and found a notther. It being in the nick of timein hur
wants, she toke great notis of it and I doubt not but made goodimprouement
thareof, with great acknouledgment of gods marsie at that time.
I shall menshon one more consurning my Mother. When she liued instarford,
one nyte, in her slepe, she fell into a dream, and waking she wasmutch taken
with it. She tould my father, and could not cepe it out of hur mind.And it
was, that sutch a minester, I haue forget his name, should preachsutch a weke
and sutch a day at elsuam, [Elsenham,] on sutch a text. The thouts ofit did
so take with hur that she inquiered, and as she dreamed, so it was;the same
man, the same day, the same text. She and my brother How herd him. I,then
being so young, cannot Remember euery thing; but I doubt not but thatshe made
good improuement of that sarmon.
Consarning my self; when I was but a lettell boy, being edicated under
godly parents, my Conshans was ueary apt to tell me of euells that Ishould
not doe. Being now about aight yers ould, I was giuen mutch to playand to
run out without my fathers Consent and againe his command. One a time,I
haueing gone out most parte of the day, when my father saw me cumhome, he
toke me and basted me. I then cept home, and followed my busenes twoor thre
dase. My father and mother Comended me, and tould me that god wouldbles me
if I obeyed my parents, and what the contrary would ishew in. I thenthout in
my harte, o that my fatther would beat me more when I did amis. Ifard, if he
did not, I should not be good.
Not long after, I being alone on teh shopbord Repping open a payer of
bretches of a Gintilmans who had had a hole in his pocut and sewed upagaine,
thorow thich hold he had lost or dropt into his knes of his linings apese of
gould, which, when I say, I thought I myt haue it, for I thout nobodyknew of
it, nor could know of it. I toke the Gould and hed it, and sat uponthe
shopboard to worke; but, thinking of it, I thout it is none of myne. Ifetcht
it againe, but upone more pondring I went and hed it againe. When Ihad dun
so, I could not be quiet in my mynd, but fetcht it againe, and thoutthow
nobody could know of it, yet god, he knew of it. So I gaue it to myfatther,
hoe gaue it to the gintelman. I cant but take notes of gods goodnessin then
giving me Restrayning grace to presarue from sutch a tempation, thoughthen I
slytly passed ouer many sutch prouedenses.
I did think myself in a good condishon. I was conuinsed that I shouldpray
and durst doe no other, and Red and here sarmons and durst due noother; yet I
was biuen to pastime and to dansing, and that I thout lawful. Nowuppone a
time, when I was groune 18 yers of age or thare abouts, I went to adansing
scoll to larne to dans. My father hering of it, when I cam home touldme, if
I went agayne, he would bast me. I tould him, if he did he shouldneuer bast
me againe. With that, my father toke a stick and basted me. I toke it
patiently, and said nothing for a day or [two], but on morning betimesI res
and toke 2 shurts on my back and the best sute I had, and a bybell inmy
pocket, and set the dores open and went to my fathers chamber dore andsaid,
god by father, god by mother. Why, whether are you going? To seke myfortin,
I answared. Then said my mother, goe whare you will, god he will findyou
out. This word, the point of it, stuck in my brest, and afterwards godstruck
it home to its head.
Allthough I thout my fatther was two Strict, I thout Soloman said, benot
holy ouer mutch, and daued was a man after gods oun harte, and he wasa
danser; but yet I went my Journey, and was from him half a yere beforehe hard
whare I was. I first settled in barcumsted, and thare Rought on ashobord
that had bene improud that waie. On a nyte, when most folke was abead, a
mayd cam into the shopbord and sat with me, and we Jested together;but at the
last she cared it so, and put huself in sutch a poster, as that I madeas If I
had sum speshall ocashon abrod and went out; for a fared, If I hadnot, I
should haue comitted foley with hur. But I ofen thout that it was theprayers
of my parents that preuailed with god to kepe me. I then gaue my selfmutch
to dansing and staying out and heatting myself and lying in haymowes,the
pepell being a bed whare I abod that I lost my culler and neuerRecufered it a
gaine.
I then went and wrought at harford, [Hertford,] and went to an in formy
lodging. The next day I went and got worke in the toune. It was nerethe
time of the sises at harford, and my m' had mainie sargants Cotes tomake; and
I sat up three nights to work, and then I went to my In to lodg. Thedore was
lockt, and I knockt hard. I hard one of the mayds say, thare is one atthe
dore. I heard one sa, tis no matter, it is none but the tayler. Sothey
opend the dore, and the ostis sat in a chare by the fyer, in hur nakedshift,
houlding hur brests open. She said to me, a chare being by hur, shehoulding
out hur hand, Cum let us drink a pot, and seuerall times Reetrated hurwords.
I said I was so slepey that I dould not stay with her now, but I woulddrink a
cup with hur in the morning; and so I hastend awaie to my Chamber.Here I
toke no notes of the goodnes of god in Restrayning me, but Rattherascribed it
to my self; all though I had as Retched a natter, as I haue bene sensmore
sensable on then before.
Awhile after thare was a Cockpit bult, to fite Cockes in, and manyKnits
and Lords meat thare; and thare folowed to the toune a manie braueLases. And
upone a day, as I Remember, thare came on from Starford that I wassonderfull
glad to see, that I myt inquier of my frinds thare. I inuited him tothis in
to drink; and thare was one of theas braue lases thare which dind atthe table
I dind at, and it is lykly that I mut drink to hur and she to me; butthis I
know, I neuer toucht hur. The nite after, I came to goe to bead andaskt for
a lite. My ostes sayd, we are busey, you may goe up without, the moneshines.
And so I did. And when I cam in the camber, I went to my bed side andpuld of
all my Clothes and went in, and thare was this fine lase in the bead.I slipt
on my Clothes agayne, and went doune and askt my ost, why she wouldsarue me
so. I, sayd she, thars nobody would hurt you. I tould her, if I hireda
Rome, I would haue it to myself; and shoud myself mutch angrey. So shefaue
me a lite into another Chamber, and thare I lae; but in the morning, Iwent to
that chamber I used to ly in, for I had left a lettell bandell ofthings on
the beds tester. I cam to the dore and gave the dore a shuf, and thisfine
Mistres Reacht out hur hand out of the bead and opend the dore. So Iwent in.
I doubt mis I am troblsom to you. No, sayd she, you are welcum to me.I
tould hur, I had left a small trifell on the tester of the bead, and Itoke it
and went my waie. For all this, and manie other of the lyke, I thankgod I
neuer yet knew any but thos two wifes that god gaue me. But when Iconseder
my Retched hart, and what I myt with shame and blushing speke thatwaie, I
cannot but sa, O, wonderfull, unspeakable, unsarchabl marseys of a godthat
taketh care of us when we take no Care of ourseluese.
I now being at harford, Mr Goodin preacht thare, and he preachtconsarning
prayer. But on saboth day, not being in that trim that i would hauebeen in
(I had a great band that cam ouer my shoulders that was not clene, andsum
other things that I would haue had,) I would not goe to meeting butwalkt in
the filds close by a meadow sid. Thare was, whether fly, wasp orhornet, I
cannot tell, but it struck my finger, and watter and blod cam out ofit and
paind me mutch. I went up to a hous and shoud it, but thay knew notwhat a
sting I had at my harte. Now I thout of my mothers words, that godwould
find me out. I hastend home to the Camber I lay in, at my mastershouse; and
when i cam thare I toke my bybell and lokt ouer sum instructions myfather had
Ret, and I weapt sorly. The payne and swelling increast & sweld up tomy
shoulder. I prayd ernistly to god that he would pardon my sinn andheall my
arme. I went to a surgin and askt him what it was. He said it was "the
take". I askt him what he meant. He said it was taken by the prouedensof
god. This knoct home on my hart what my mother said, god will find youout.
Now I made great promises that if god would here me this time I wouldReforme.
It pleased god in a short time to ease my and I did Reforme, and stodin aw
of gods Judgements, though I had a linkring mind after my formerpastime. I
then Rout with m' Tead, that liues at Charlstoune. He was a young manthen.
He and I was going to a dnasing on nite, and it began to thunder, andI tould
him I doubted we ware not in our waie; and he and I went back againe.But
about a munth or six wekes after, I had a mynd to uisit a frind of asaboth
day foure myle of of harford; but I tok a good whyle pondring whetherI myt or
no. I knew m' gooding was a good man, and that the other was naught;but, to
quiet my mynd, I thought that Christ said consarning the phareses,thay set in
moises chare, here them. I thought he myt preach good matter. Aud thusI
blynded my eyse, and went. And when I cam thare, thay ware gone tometting;
and I glattred myself, it may be I shall mete them cuming home. And soI went
in to an orched, and sat soune in an arbore; and, as before, one thesame
finger and on the same place, I was strucken as before. And as itstruck my
hand so it struck my harte, for I sudingly Rose up and went into awood; and
thare I cryd bitterly, and now concluded that god, god had found meout. I
was not utterly forlorn in my spiret, and knew not what to du,thinking that
god now had upperly forsaken me, and that he would here me no more.And when
I had cryd so long that I could cry no longer, I Rose up in a forlorne
condishon, and went home to harford. I then in a Restles condishonknew not
what to du. I was thinking what to do to throw of this troble; and atthis
time, awhile after, thare was on master scurfeld [Scofield?] who was a
minester and my godfather, that had a sonn that was bound to saint
Christifars, and he was at me to goe with him. I Readily agred. Andwhen the
time was cum that we should goe, thare came nuse that saintChristifars was
taken by the spanyard. [St. Christophers was captured by a Spanishfleet under
Don Frederick de Toledo, in October 1629. 600 of the English settlerswere
condemned to work in the mines of Mexico, which outrage was one of thereasons
that induced Cromwell, in 1655, to send the fleet under Penn andVenables
against Jamaica.]

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

The town of Newbury MA was settled and incorporated in 1635. In thatyear came Mr. Edward Woodman, his wife Joanna, and Archelaus Woodmanto Newbury, where they resided till their deaths.

Archelaus came from a place called Christian Malford, a parish inWiltshire, in the northwest part of the county, about six miles fromMalmesbury, the chief town of that part of the country. He camepassenger in the ship James, of London, which sailed from Southamptonfor New England, in april 1635. His name may be found in Vol. VII ofthe third series of the MA Historical Society's Collecitons, page 319.He is there called Hercules Woodman.

A few weeks later than the James came the Abigail, bringing a RichardWoodman, only 9 years old. Whether Mr. Edward Woodman, who wasprobably brother to Archelaus Woodman, came in the James or Abigail,or some other vessel, no record informs us. Both of them came toNewbury at the same time. Richard died in Lynn in 1647, aged 21.Archelaus, in 1635, is styled a "mercer." His first wife, Elizabeth,died 17th December, 1677. His second wife, Dorothy Chapman, whom hemarried 12th Nov 1678, died in 1706. In the Newbury records he isstyled Lieut., and died 14th Oct 1702, aged about 90. He left nochildren.

Of the ninety-one grantees who settled Newbury, fifteen were entitledto the appellation of "Mr." One of these fifteen was Mr. EdwardWoodman. He was a man of influence, decision and energy, and opposedwith great zeal the attempt made by the Rev. Thomas Parker to changethe mode of Church government from Congregationalism to something likePresbyterianism. See history of Newbury under the years 1669, 1670,etc.

Mr. Woodman was a deputy to the General Court, in 1636, 37, 39 and 43.In 1648, 41, 45 and 46, he was one of the three Commissioners to endsmall causes in Newbury, and at various times held other offices ofprofit and trust in town and state. Among his other commissions he hadone from the State "to see people marry," of which in 1681 he thusspeaks: "an unprofitable commissions; I quickly laid aside the worke,which has cost me many a bottle of sacke and liquor, where friends andacquaintance have been concerned." He and his wife Joanna were livingin February, 1687-8. She was then 74. He died prior to 1694; his ageis not known.

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

"Seven Generations of Thomas and Aquila Chase"

Aquila Chase appears first at Hampton, NH. A company under theleadership of Rev. Stephen Bachiler is supposed to have commenced thesettlement on 14 Oct 1638 (Dow's History of Hampton, 10-11). Early inthe year 1639 a new band of settlers came with Mr. Timothy Dalton, whobecame associate pastor of the Hampton church. It is probable thatAquila and Thomas Chase came with the second copany as it appears thatemigration was greatly diminished by the year 1640. In June 1640, thesecond group of persons became grantees, among them Aquila Chase andThomas Chase.

The Hampton records show that in 1640 there was granted to AquilaChase six acres for a house lot. in 1644 an additional grant wasrecorded of six acres of "upland meadow and swamp," which he sold tohis "brother Thomas" on his removal to Newbury. -- Perkins homesteadlocated south of Meeting House Green, near the marshes on the road tothe ancient Tide Mill.

One of the petitioners 7 Mar 1643/4, for modification of the lawregulating military drill.

1646 - (Newbury records) Granted to Aquila Chase, Anno 1646, foweracres of land at the new towne for a house lott and six acres ofupland for a planting lott, where it can be had, and six acres ofmarsh where it can be had, also on condition that he doe goe to seaand do service in the towne with a boate for four years.

Joshua Coffin in History of Newbury states that it is a Chase familytradition that Aquila was the first person to pilot a vessel acrossthe bar at the mouth of the Merrimack river.

Admonished and fined in Hampton for "gathering pease on the Sabbath."

The "fower acres of land at the new towne" was in what is nowNewburyport, on the NE corner of Chandler's Lane, now Federal Street,and the "way by the Merrimac river," now Water Street, as evidenced bythe sale of the lot several years later.

Ipswich deposition 25 Sep 1666, mentions Accquilla Chas, aged about 48years, which would make 1618 the year of his birth.

Freeholder 1653

Took up his residence on the "six acres of upland" located on thenorth side of Sawyer's Lane, now North Atkinson Street, about 500 ft.from its intersection with Low Street. Lived here until his death (maybe buried at Oldtown).

Will dated 10 Dec 1670, gives the homestead (Jacob Merrill house) tooldest son Aquila (estate divided by heirs in 1723). (Will copied inSeven Generations...)

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

Edward was a witness "Wheelwright deed" in 1638. He was in Hampton inthe 1640s. Among many other things, he was Stephen BACHILER's attorneyin 1651. Additional source: Noyes/Libby/Davis, "GenealogicalDictionary of Maine and New Hampshire," (1939), pg. 154

In 1661 a petition was collected against him for barratry (startingfrivolous lawsuits), for which he was arrested. However, he wasemployed
on many occasions to gather evidence for court suits. In general, hismanner of doing business often took him to court; if that did notcreate
enough trouble for him, he earned more by appearing as attorney forvarious causes against local vested interest, including patent claimsnot seen as valid by the local settlers. On 4 NOV 1645 at Ipswich hewas fined in court "for drinking wyne to the abuse of himselfe". Alsoon 12 FEB 1649 he was so "verrie far gone with drinke". He hadnumerous fines for excessive drinking and alcoholism over a period ofyears.

He must have learned the Indian tongue as Wheelwright employed him tomake his purchase in 1638. At Dover he was Commissioner to end smallcauses, and in 1642 was Rep. to the General Court in Boston. Later heclaimed to be agent of the patentees for collecting their rents inDover( Hubbard called him apochryphal governor), and in 1647 RichardCutt, Pickering and Nutter were appointed referees between EdwardColcord and the town of Dover. He had removed to Hampton in 1645, andwas about then removed to Exeter. In 1651 he was bringing suits asattorney for Rev. Stephen Bachiler. In 1654 he was an owner in theDover and Swampscot patents, and had bought James Wall's mill atExeter, hiring it run by Anthony Day and Thomas Tyler the Indian. In1661 he was arrested for barratry and petition was freely signed toshut him out of the courts. In 1676 he was employed by Major Waldronto collect evidence against the Mason claim and Aug 11 1681 in Bostonprison, he was allowed 5lbs. for 33 days service of self and horseunder orders of Gov. Leverett. One of the best, and to many mostunfavorably, known New Englanders of his day, he spent his lifelooking for trouble, reckless of all manner of abuse, except whenaccused of picking a drunken man's pocket

[Note] [From Colcord Genealogy. Descendants of Edward Colcord of NewHampshire, 1630-1908, by Doane B. Colcord, 1908.]
Pages 7-8:
Edward Colcott, or Colcord, came to Portsmouth, N.H., from HantsCounty, England, about 1631, when he was fifteen years old. The nameis derived from Cole, an old English name, and Cote or Cot, a cottageor house with lands adjoining. The Colcott "Crest" is a sitting lion("lion sejant") collared and lined with the motto: "Dieu Avec Nous"beneath, which is a part of the coat of arms of the Earl of Berkeley-- conferred by authority. The first Earl of Berkeley was created in1421 (Burke). His name was also spelled Colcote.

When Edward cam to Portsmouth, in 1631, "there were," he affirms, "butthree houses in all that side of the country adjoining PascataquaRiver."

He went to Exeter and resided in or near there until after 1638. Hemarried Ann (e) Page and was in "Pasquatiquate," or Dover, in 1640,being 5th grantee in the list of the first grants given. He signed apetition for an independent government, sent to the King in 1642, andin 1643, June 14, was appointed "Magistrate" of Dover with twoassociates by the "Court of Mass." He returned to Exeter in 1644, andby "grants" and trading acquired lands in Dover, Exeter and NewMarket.

He was often engaged in litigation, a man of independent spirit whochafed under restraint, and loved adventure. He had many friends andnot a few enemies. He raised a large family, the daughters marryinginto some of the best of the colonial families, and becoming themothers of the Dearborn, Hobbs, Fifield, Coffin, and Stevens families.His oldest son, Jonathan, died in his twenty-first year (1661) and histwo remaining sons marched to Rhode Island in the King Phillips' War,in which Edward Jr., was slain by the Indians at North Hill, June 13,1677; a young man of promise "whose death was greatly regretted."

Edward was now past 60 years old and Februrary 10, 1681-2, he died atHampton, N.H., where all his children were raised.

1619-1698) a Weaver was born about 1619, at Lincolnshire, England. Hemarried Ann her maiden name is not known, before 1644, at Salisbury.She was born about 1625, perhaps at Lincolnshire, England and died onthe fifth day of December 1684, at Salisbury, Massachusetts.

When Samuel first came to Salisbury he was described as a "Planter",but from 1656 onward he was described as a "weaver". He seems to haveled a thrifty and prosperous, but commonplace, life. He was taxed in1650 and 1652, and called commoner.

Samuel became a colonist of Salisbury town, located just a few milesfrom Ipswich. Salisbury was then a new town, being founded in 1639. Itwas still in course of settlement when he as one of those who hadinvested his money in the development of the town, as a Proprietor,received grants of town lands, in 1641, 1642, and 1654. This beganmany years of wisely investing his money in land. For in 1644 hebought a dwelling. On the twenty-fifth day of March 1648, he purchasedanother parcel of land with a dwelling. On the thirteenth day of April1655, he sold a five-acre piece owned by him in the town. On the firstday of March 1656, he conveyed a ten-acre tract at Salisbury. In 1657he was one of the group that purchased the outlying Hall tract for atown addition. He purchased a six-acre tract, describing himself as aWeaver, on the twenty-second day of October 1657. He conveyed atwelve-acre tract of land, at Salisbury, on the seventh day of March1670.

Samuel became involved in town affairs as a young man. First in1644,being about 27 years old, he agreed to take the Oath of Freeman orCitizenship. On the twentieth day of March,1652, he was elected by thefreemen to be one of the two fence viewers of the town. He votedagainst the proposed allotment of church pews in heredity, on thetwenty-third day of January 1653. On the thirtieth day of August 1653,he was one of the three witnesses against Robert Pike for hisdenunciation of the General Court. On the first day of May 1654,Samuel signed the compact for separation of Amesbury from its parenttown. On the second day of February 1664, he was elected one of thefive prudential men in charge of town business. He was again electedone of the Prudential men, on the twenty-eighth day of January1666-67. On the ninth day of April 1667, he was made clerk of themarket at Salisbury. He was again elected one of the prudential men,on the thirty-first day of January 1668-69. On the eleventh day ofMarch 1673, he was again elected one of the Prudential men.

Samuel was a trial juror in county court on the second day of October1649, on the thirteenth day of April 1652, and again, on the twelfthday of April 1664. He knew that he was guaranteed a trial by jury onlyif he in return agreed to be a juror. That in all disputes between twoor more persons, should be settled by Binding Arbitration, that is,trial by jury, which he knew was the best security of the rights ofthe people. On the eleventh day of October 1664, he was on the grandjury at county court, on the thirteenth day of April, and again on thetwelfth day of October 1669.

Samuel was a member of the church of Salisbury 1687.

Samuel at the age of Eighty-seven died on the sixth day of March 1689,at Salisbury. Administration of his was dated on the thirtieth day ofJune 1698.

From Denis E. Fellows:

Samuel settled in Salisbury, Essex Co. MA. The exact date of whenSamuel came to America is not known. Samuel appears in the town ofSalisbury, MA in 1641 so we know he was definitely here then, andcould have arrived before. Settlers who were not "Freemen" were seldomafforded much publicity. To be a freeman of the Massachusetts Bayrequired that one had possesion of property and proper religiouscrdentials. The final determination was made by the puritain ministerand his word was law. No one else could vote, hold town office, orparticipate in the election of the general court, or govenor. Havingbeen judged by his minister, Samuel Felloes took the "Freemans Oath"in Salem, MA in May 1645. In that same year he is recorded as havingbought a house from Jerret Haddon, still standing in 1847, about onehalf mile from the present post office. Samuel would have been abouttwenty six years of age at this time. He was listed as a planter andalso a weaver. Most important he was listed as a "Man of esteem."

The date and location of Samuel's marriage to Anne are unknown, as isthe last or family name of Anne. They had only two children, uncommonin those days.

Each man accepted into the Massachusetts Bay Colony was granted ahouse lot of three or four acers, and enough meadow land to farm andfeed his stock on. The householder received six acers of meadow landhis wife six and one half acers, each child one and one half acers,and each domestic animal over twenty pounds, three more acers. Theamount owned determined a man's "property rights" sometimes called"meadow rights". Meadow rights were extremly important to the settler,inas much as they determined his taxes, his community standing, andhis right to vote. They also constituted the property requirement,basis for freeman status. Other times they were given as a reward forexceptional service to the community. An example of which, might bethe establishment of a grist mill. The method of distribution used wascalled "gratulation," and was in practice until all common land wasdivided. There are many referances to land grants givin to variedFelloes familys; Therefore the explanation.

3596. Alexander* Gordon ² was born in Aug 1635 in Aberdeen, Scotland^² and died in 1697 in Exeter, Rockingham, NH^² at age 62.

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

He was taken prisoner at Tuthill Fields camp during the war betweenEngland and Scotland in 1650 in London, Middlesex, England. He sailedto America aboard the"Liberty" as a prisoner of war in 1651. He was aprisoner of war between 1651 and 1654 in Watertown. Middlesex,Massachusetts

Alexander Gordon, born about 1635 in Aberdeen Scotland, was a youngScotsman, a soldier and a member of a clan that was loyal to theStuart. He was in General Monk's army of 1651, which came into Englandwith the design to place King Charles II on the throne, then vacant bythe execution of his father King Charles I, in 1649. General Monk wasdefeated at the battle of Worcester, on September 3, 1651 and his armycaptured. Alexander at the age of about 16 became a prisoner of warand with several thousand of his countrymen, was held in a prison campat Tothill Field, Westminster, London, near Saint Margaret's church.There he spent the winter of 1651-52. An article in the magazine ofthe Massachusetts Historical Society, called "Scotch Deported to NewEngland, 1651-52" states that "as a result of various proposals, anunknown number, perhaps 300, of the Scotch prisoners were selected fortransportation to New England." Alexander was released to John Cloyesunder a verbal agreement and came with Cloyes to New England, workinghis passage with Captain John Allen of Charleston, Massachusetts, whowas in England to secure workmen for the American colony.
Captain Allen took him on the ship "Liberty" to Watertown, Mass. in1652. Here he was held as a prisoner. For a year or more Alexanderremained with John Cloyes, a boatswain or mate of the vessel dwellingin Cambridge on the then road to Watertown, near the present Cambridgehospital. While there he formed an acquaintance with Samuel Strattonof Watertown, with whom he made a six year contract on April 25, 1653,as an apprentice, to learn the art of husbandry. Hopefully, thiscontract would end in 1659. So, after a years work without pay, Cloyessold Alexander to Samuel Stratton in Watertown, as a husbandryapprentice. These indentured servents were sold just like a cow or ahorse. There followed other consignments of human freight shipped toAmerica which found distribution among the towns of Massachusetts andthe adjacent provinces, as the story of the first consignment hadwhetted the envy of those who had failed to procure cheap labor fromthis new kind of auction block of slave laborers. "It had the sanctionof John Cotton and that was enough to deaden the New Englandconscience." They were sold to planters and mill owners, the usualterms was a service of six years.
"It is not to be supposed that those who engaged in this traffic,euphemistically hidden with the label 'apprenticeships', shouldhesitate to drive their helpless servants to the point of illtreatment, although it is not believed that this was a generalsituation. However, on May 23, 1655, a number of them, includingAlexander, complained of this inevitable outgrowth of bondage andpetitioned the General Court of Massachusetts for freedom, but theirrequest was refused..."
"Samuel Stratton of Watertown had bought one of these Scotsmen; oneAlexander Gordon. It is, of course, an open question whether thesemen/boys, unable to sign their names, or read, could read theindentures by which they were bound and in this particular case it isclear that Alexander Gordon was a victim of ill treatment."
On November 3, 1663, through the benevolence of a resident ofCambridge, Alexander appealed again to the court in Massachusetts andwas released from his contract. His six year contract with SamuelStratton was supposed to end in 1659 but did not and continued onuntil November of 1663. He went up the coast of the Piscataquog Riverby water to Portsmouth, NH The traditional story in the family is thathe continued up the Squamscott River to Exeter, NH, in an open boatwhere he entered the employ of Nicholas Lisson who was sawing lumberin the sawmill at Squamscott Falls at Exeter. Alexander Gordon marriedMary Lisson, a daughter of his employer, in 1663 and was placed incharge of a small mill on the Little River, so called. He built hiscabin on land given him by Nicholas Lisson, to which the town added agrant of 20 acres in 1664. There he planted and farmed and worked inthe lumber industry and raised his family and died in 1697.
Alexander engaged in the lumber industry with Nicholas Lisson and thenwas in business for himself; his mill being located on Little River,about a mile west of the present village of Exeter. His home wasnearby, on the west side of the river.
On November 30, 1677, Alexander took the oath of allegiance to KingCharles II. He served on various scouting parties against the Indiansin King William's war. (See "History of the Town of Exeter, NewHampshire" by Charles H. Bell, 1888). The NH Provincial Records showthat he took an active part in the Indian Wars of that period, and iscredited with scouting service in 1696, the year before his death in1697. Alexander became an exemplary citizen and raised his family inExeter, NH

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

It is believed that she might only have had Isaac Morrill, Sr.'s twooldest children, Abraham and Isaac, and that a second wife of Isaachad his other nine children. Aaron Hadley Hunter quotes a historicalwriter (James Savage) in saying that Isaac Morrill, Sr. (b. 1646) mayhave had two wives: Phebe, with whom he had sons Abraham and Isaac;and Susanna, with whom he had his other nine children. Seeming toconfirm this is the fact that the spacing between Isaac (youngestchild by first wife) and Mary (first child by assumed second wife,Susanna) is too close to be by the same mother. It is actually hard toimagine how the two children, Isaac and Mary, could have the samefather, assuming he had just one wife at a time. (There is less thanseven months between their birth dates.) Perhaps Mary is the daughterof Susanna by a previous marriage. If Mary is Isaac Sr.'sstep-daughter, then the dates are fine and no longer in conflict. Ofcourse, another explanation is that there is an error in one or moreof the children's birth dates

Henry True was the first to spell his name True consistently, insteadof spelling it Trew. Nowhere have we found him referred to as HenryJr., as apparently that term was not used in his case. An item in theEssex Quarterly Court, Vol. 4, page 64, records the judgment of theEssex County Court, held at Hampton, 13: 8: 1668, where Henry and Janewere fined, he 3 pounds and she 40 shillings, for "miscarriages beforemarriage." Family historians have supposed that this fine was leviedagainst them because their first child was born about two months aftertheir marriage. Being hailed before the Court for such a reasonevidently didn't have a lasting harmful effect on them. The recordwritten herein about their lives and their service to their communityand country attests to their good standing.

Henry True was a house carpenter by trade and built his house inSalisbury, MA, on a tract of 4 acres he had bought from Robert Ring.Later, he bought considerable more land there and on Salisbury Beach.

Henry was made a freeman in 1675 and served as a selectman for manyyears. On 19 Nov. 1677, Timothy Lyndall of Salisbury conveyed to HenryTrue his "commoners right," i.e., right of proprietorship in the Townof Salisbury, for the sum of 28 pounds. Henry was chosenrepresentative to serve at the first session of "ye grate and GeneralCourt to be holden at Boston in Town House 27 May 1695." He served astown clerk for three years, 1696-1699, and continued serving indifferent offices until a few years before his death. He was a deaconof the church for many years and was known as Deacon Henry True aswell as Captain Henry True.

In 1678 he was recorded as Sgt. True, in 1689 as Lt. True, and from1696 through 1722 was Captain of the Militia commanding the firstcompany raised in Salisbury, MA, for its defense.

On 4 July 1706, John Wadleigh, Capt., wrote to Capt. Henry True:

"Sr about one of the clock the Indians killd matt wees (Weed's) wifeand 3 children one of them dead to other 2 mortalley wounded att thesame time Robb. Hoyts wife killd a child missing and a boy of thomashoyts killd John Ash killed, barnes prouce (Barnes Prowse) missing wefear killd all att one time as neer as we Judg." And as a postscript,"Sr pray send a party of men I think It a good way to go out thisknight wee think to be 30 Indians."
In Hoyt, Old Families of Salisbury and Amesbury, p. 26, we find a listof Salisbury soldiers with this note:

"To Sergnt Tho Braadbury this is to desier & Impower you to take theCare & Conduct of ye men above named & forthwith according to order tomarch them to Exeter to Reli... the distressed who are at this time indanger by ye Enimy & be very kerfull of your self & men in your marchgiven under my hand in Salisbury this fifth day of July in ye Eightyere of her maiesstes reign Annoque Domini 1710. Henry True, Cap."
Capt. Henry True's order book is still extant and is now in theGenealogy Section of the New York City Public Library, 42nd St., in"The Hudson Collection." We were able to see and hold in our handsthis little order book written by our ancestor over two hundred andseventy years ago while hostile Indians were all around him and hismen. As was the custom in those days of inadequate supply of paper, hehad written in all of the margins on almost every page.

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

Farmer the son of Robert and Mary Gilman was born about 1587, atCaston, England. He married Mary Clark on the third day of June 1614,at Hingham, England.

The Reverend Robert Peck, of Hingham, England, led a party of onehundred and thirty-three men, women and children from England toAmerica. Edward left Gravesend, England, on the twenty-six day ofApril and arrived at Boston, on the ship "Diligent," mastered byCaptain John Martin, on the tenth day of August 1638, he wasaccompanied by his wife, three sons, two daughters, and threeservants. The family settled soon after in Hingham, Massachusetts,where he agreed to take the Oath of Freeman or Citizenship on thethirteenth day of December 1638. He remained in Hingham until 1641,when a tract of land eight miles square then called Seekonk, nowRehoboth, Massachusetts, was granted to him and others by the PlymouthColony. In 1643 his estate was three hundred pounds. His name does notappear on the records of that town after 1646. In 1647 his nameappears in Ipswich, Massachusetts, and on the eighteenth day ofSeptember 1648, Edward Gilman, Junior, sold to his father the farmgiven him by his father-in-law, Richard Smith. He finally settled onthe tenth day of May 1652, at Exeter, New Hampshire. He and his sonsEdward and Moses were upon their request were on the tenth day of May1652, accepted as townsmen of Exeter.

On the eleventh day of March 1679, Edward, Peter Folsom and EdwardSmith were appointed by the town a committee to ascertain the towndebts and the legality of the same. It thus appears that we have anearly precedent for incurring a town debt.

But the irrepressible Cranfield, in the language of one of hiscontemporaries, "had come to New Hampshire after money, and money hewould have." After vainly trying several devices to induce the GeneralAssembly to pass a bill to raise money, he determined in1684 to levytaxes on the people with the assent of the council only, and withoutthe concurrence of the popular branch of the assembly. This wasclearly a usurpation of power. Even his accommodating council at firstremonstrated against it. But the apprehension of an outbreak among theIndians at the eastward induced them to comply. The taxes were orderedby the governor and council, and warrants were issued to theconstables of the several towns for their collection. But they meteverywhere the same reception as in Exeter, where John Folsom, theconstable, returned his warrant with the statement "that he haddemanded the taxes, but was answered by almost all of them that the(governor's) commission directed the taxes should be raised by theGeneral Assembly, but these being done by the governor and council,they would not pay."

Thereupon the Exeter warrant was committed for collection to ThomasThurton, provost marshal of the province, together with an order ofthe Court of Sessions for a fine of fifty shillings against JohnFolsom, for neglect of duty as constable. Thurton was a coarse, brutalman, and his errand was not calculated to win him a very heartywelcome. He came to Exeter by way of Hampton, attended by his deputy,both on horseback, with swords by their sides. Half a score of Hamptonmen, armed with clubs, followed them on horseback to see and share theanticipated sport. They proceeded first to Edward's house, situatednearly opposite the site of the present First church. Such a cavalcadenaturally attracted attention, and it took little time for the wholevillage to learn the business that had brought it. A crowd gathered,John Folsom, the delinquent constable, appeared, and Thurton demandedof him the fine imposed by the Quarter Sessions. Folsom replied thatif the marshal "came to levy execution at his house, he should meetwith a red-hot spit and scalding water; and that he did not value anywarrant from the governor, council or justice of the peace, and thatthe marshal might go, like a rogue as he was."

Two of Edward's aunts were at his house, the wife of his son John, thesuspended councilor, and of Moses Gilman, his brother; and theylikewise gave Thurton to understand that they had kettles of boilingwater ready for him, if he came to their houses to demand rates. Themarshal now began to realize that he had come on a bootless errand.The crowd, reinforced by the addition among others of the reverendJohn Cotton, the temporary minister of the town, then began to hustlethe marshal and his deputy up and down the house, asking themtauntingly what they wore at their sides,-meaning their swords, whichwere, to be sure, rather ridiculous appendages, when their wearersdared not use them. There was nothing worse than horse play, but themarshal understood very well that if he were to attempt any seriousresistance, he was liable to be roughly treated. From Edward's he andhis deputy went next to the house of the widow of Henry Sewall, toobtain refreshment for themselves and their horses. The crowd followedthem thither, and still kept up the same system of annoyance. Then theofficers and their unwelcome retinue proceeded to the house ofJonathan Thing, to serve an attachment upon him; but the crowd wouldnot suffer them to do so, but plainly declared to the marshal that he"should do no business relating to the execution of his office." Inthe end, the officers were glad to get off with whole skins, andwithout making the least progress in the business they had come for.

We obtain our only knowledge of this transaction from the testimony ofThurton himself, a bitterly prejudiced and unscrupulous witness; butit is evident that though the whole community were indignant at theillegal attempt at taxation, and determined that the marshal shouldnot be permitted to execute his warrant, yet they scrupulouslyrefrained from acts of violence. The glimpse, too, that we get of theExeter women of two hundred years ago proves that they possessed aspirit worthy of the mothers of men who had to endure the hardships ofa frontier life, and to meet the onslaughts of a savage foe, with nodefense save their own right arms and trusty weapons.

Edward died on the twenty-second day of June 1655, at Exeter.Administration on his estate was granted to his widow, Mary, on thetenth day of April 1655, and when she was ordered to produce theconsent of her children to the disposal of the estate by the countycourt according to a deed of the deceased.

a Farmer the son of John Treworgye was born in 1594, at Kingsweare,England. At the age of twenty-three he married Katherine Shapleigh onthe sixteenth day of March 1617, at Kingsweare.

James was an agent of his father-in-law Alexander Shapleigh,accordingly, orders were sent over to purchase certain tracts of land,and on the fifth day of May 1636, he purchased 500 acres of land atKittery Point, and a few months later, on the tenth day of January1637, he purchased 800 acres of land in what is now Eliot, then partof Kittery. The price paid and to be paid, for the Kittery Pointproperty, was 100 merchantable dried codfish per year, and half thenet income of a contemplated ferry, which never paid its expenses.This price, small as it was, was soon remitted and the two grantsconfirmed in fee to the Shapleigh estates, by both the town of Kitteryand the Province of Massachusetts Bay.

James at the age of fifty-six died on the second day of July 1650, atKittery, Maine.

3624. Samuel* Dudley Rev.,² son of Thomas* Dudley Gov. ² and Dorothy Yorke,² was born on 30 Nov 1608 in Andover, Hants, England^² and died on 10 Feb 1683 in Exeter, Rockingham Co., NH^² at age 74.

General Notes: Samuel, the only son of Gov. Thomas Dudley by his first wife,
Dorothy, was born about 1610 in Northamptonshire, England, and
was probably educated for the ministry of the Puritan denomination
I have not found any mention of his name in England. However,
his twenty years of English life were the years of his father's
prosperity, when he held the Clerkship with Judge Nicolls, and,
subsequently, the Stewardship of the Earl of Lincoln, living in the
closest intimacy with that great house, one of the noblest and best inGreat
Britain.

His name, we must suppose, was that of his mother's father, unless
it was given for the old judge of Israel, which is not probable. The
eldest son in those days was the most precious, the heir of all the
landed estate of his house, and favored by both the law and the
spirit of the Bible writings. His father had little remembrance,
apparently, of his own father, and the legacy of £500, left for him,
must have come from his mother's family. Therefore, it is probable
the name, "Samuel," was given for Gov. Dudley's maternal grandfather.

Samuel Dudley, at 20 years of age, came over to Massachusetts,
in the Arbella, with his father and the rest of his family. They had
good company. There were aboard that vessel some of the best
souls that ever sprang from Norman or Saxon blood.

As soon as he arrived here he entered upon the active duties of
life. There was one little scrape (in 1632) young Sam. Dudley got
into, with some other young fellows, carousing on board a Boston
vessel, for which they came near being punished. But this was the
first and last irregularity in his life, so far as I know. He went to
settle and build Newtown, that is old Cambridge, in 1631, with his
father, Bradstreet and others. While residing there he was sent as
Lieutenant to Capt. John Underhill, to capture Sir Christopher Gardi
her, a Knight of the Golden Cross, who was accused of bigamy and
other offences.

In 1632 or 3, he married Mary, dau. of Gov. John Winthrop.
Their first three children seem to have been baptized in Boston. The
two sons lived many years with their grandfather, Gov. Dudley, as
he says in his will. But both died early and unmarried, the elder
having just graduated from Harvard College. At Cambridge, the
town granted Mr. Samuel Dudley, in 1632, 25 rods of pales. They
had impaled a thousand acres, as a defence against the Indians. The
trunks of trees were set in the ground close together in a row. He
had also half an acre of land, for a cow yard, granted him in 1633.
Four acres of meadow were assigned to him next the Watertown
Weir, and all the ground was divided between the citizens. His
father had 6 acres in another section and he had three acres. He
lived on Dunster street, Cambridge.

Gov. Winthrop, in a letter to his son, John, at Ipswich, in 1637,
says: "Commend me to your brother, and sister Dudley." In another
letter to the same son at Pequod, Connecticut, he says, "For
that which you write about a minister, I understand, by my brother
Dudley, that his son, D., is resolved to remove from the new town;
and, if he have a call from your people and assurance of reasonable
maintainance present, and what is likelihood of competence afterward,
he will come to you." I don't know exactly what the date of
this letter is, but Rev. Samuel Dudley removed from Cambridge to
Ipswich, about 1635, and from there, he went to help settle Salisbury
in 1638; and remained at S. about twelve years. He had a son,
named Samuel, baptized at Boston, in 1639, although he must have
been born at Salisbury. This son died in 1643. Mr. D's first wife,
the daughter of Gov. Winthrop, died the same year, leaving a daughter,
named Anne, who married Edward Hilton, one of the most
prominent men in New Hampshire, and they have a great number of
descendants now living.

Mr. Dudley married for his second wife, Mary Byley, sister of Mr.
Henry Byley, from Salisbury, alias Sarum, England, for which this
town was named. Mr. Samuel Dudley was chosen a deputy, or
Representative, from Salisbury, to the General Court, at Boston, in
1641, 42, 43, 44, and 45.

In 1640, there were granted to Mr. Samuel Dudley, four acres for
his house lot, lying upon the east of Mr. Worcester's house lot; also
there were granted to him 20 acres for a planting lot, lying upon the
east of his house lot, and upon the north of his own meadow lot; also
there were granted to him 20 acres for his meadow lot, 16 acres of it
lying at the south end of his planting lot, butting upon the west
side of the Little River; also 30 acres upon the north side of
Merrimac river, west of the Powow river.

At a general meeting of the freemen, in 1641, there were granted
nuto Samuel Dudley 100 acres in the same place toward Hampton,
where the town shall think fit, and 60 acres in Salisbury Plain.

In 1643, at a general town meeting of the freemen, "it was ordered,
that Mr. Dudley, Thomas Bradbury, Robert Pike, Mr. Munday and
Isaac Russell shall have full powers to order all the affairs of the
town of Salisbury, excepting about lands, from this day unto the first
of Nov. next ensuing." He was often Chairman of the Selectmen and
held other important town offices each year, as may be seen by the
old registers.

In March, 1648, Mr. Samuel Dudley was appointed Associate
Judge, with Richard Bellingham, Esq., and Mr. Samuel Symonds, to
hold a court from year to year, at Salisbury, Mass. He was sometimes
a Commissioner to settle boundaries of towns, lay out highways,
etc., and often had the post of arbitrator in great disputes.
He does not appear to have preached regularly at Salisbury.

On the 13th of May, 1650, he entered into an agreement with the
people of Exeter, N. H., which was signed by Edward Hilton, Edward
Gilman, John Legat, Henry Roby, James Wall and Humphrey
Wilson, on the part of the town, that he would go to inhabit at
Exeter and be their minister of God's word until such time as God
shall be pleased to make way for the gathering of a church, and then
to be ordained the pastor or teacher, according to the ordinance of
God. This was to be done, and Mr. D. was to go to the town, as soon
as provision could be made for his comfortable subsistence in the
house purchased of Rev. Mr. Wheelwright. The town was to pay him £40
a year and put up a house, the use of which and of the land he was
to have, and also the betterments thereof. It seems that Mr.
Wheelwright's Church at Exeter had lost its organization and the most
of his adherents had gone with him to Wells, or to Hampton where he
settled in 1647. None of Mr. Dudley's church records are to be
found now, if any were kept. But the grants of land made to him
are recorded in the parish register in his own hand writing. Soon
after the agreement was made, he settled in Exeter, and there
remained all the rest of his life.

At a town meeting of Exeter, holden the 20th day of April, 1652,
it was "voted, granted and agreed upon, that Mr. Samuel Dudley
and John Legat should have liberty to build or erect a saw-mill at
the second or third fall from the town, which they shall like of; and
to have timber for their mill on the commons there," etc. At this
meeting, also "Mr. Dudley and Edward Gilman were appointed messengers
to the General Court, to treat about the liberties and bounds
of our town, that now be infringed upon by Dover and Hampton."
A few days later Mr. Edward Hilton was sent with Mr. Dudley instead
of Edward Gilman.

In 1655, he requested to have his salary lowered, although it was
only £40 a year, because of the hardship and misfortune of the town.

In 1649, he preached for some time at Portsmouth. And in 1656
the people of Portsmouth offered him £80 a year to be their minister;
but he would not leave Exeter. He was occasionally employed
by the town, as its agent to the General Court, before any Deputy or
Representative was elected, and was often otherwise engaged in public
business. He did not appear to be ambitious and aspire to high
offices, but took pleasure in a more quiet course of rural life. Hecarried on farms, mills and stock-breeding, as well as preaching, and
acting as Judge or Magistrate, Representative etc. When the Indian
deed of the Exeter lands, which had been given to Mr. Wheelwright
and others, needed to be authenticated, he made an affidavit, in
1668, that he had seen the original document with the Indian
Sagamores' signatures signed to it. Mr. Wheelwright also swore to it.

His second wife, Mary Byley, died at Exeter, about 1651, and, in
a year or so, he married another wife, named "Elizabeth," by whom
he had four sons and four daughters.

By the second wife he had three sons and two daughters; and by
the first wife, three sons and two daughters, making in all 18
children, that is 10 sons and 8 daughters. Several of the third wife's
children were minors when he died. Evidently he had to work hard and
take good care of his property, to bring up so many children in those
rough times. But 5 or 6 of the children died young.

Rev. Samuel's father didn't give him much by his will, because he
had to provide for his younger brood. Of all his ten sons, only
Stephen, a son by the third wife, has posterity inheriting the name
of Dudley from Rev. Samuel. The historians before me, had never
discovered but 14 or 15 of Rev. Samuel Dudley's children. Still I am
ashamed that I have not learned more facts about him. The old records
were badly kept, and many, being on frail paper, have been entirely
destroyed by use and abuse.

A great many grants of land, timber swamps and mill-sites were
made to him by the town of Exeter, some of which are as follows:
In 1650, 18 acres of swamp lying about south east from the Falls,
near the Great Plain; and in 1652, 100 acres above the upper falls,
on the main Fresh river, two or three miles from the town, on the
hither side of the river.

At a town meeting, March 30, 1674, "there were granted to Mr.
Samuel Dudley, six hundred acres of land for a farm, to be laid out
where he shall find a place convenient, and he shall make choice
of, provided it be within the space of two miles distant from the
town, which is to be understood from the meeting-house."

He took the land on the south side of Exeter River, being the
sixth lot from the Great Hill, bounded on one side by Hampton line.
This was in what is now the town of Brentwood, where several of the
oldest branch of the family still reside.

This land was laid out for Mr. Dudley by the town measurers,
Lieut. Hall and Wm. Moore, and bounded as follows: "From the
Great Hill, upon the south side of Pick-pocket; beginning at a tree
marked on the stump, and from that tree joining Hampton line;
westward and by north, running to a brook or little river, one mile
and a half; where there are several trees marked by the said river's
side, from thence being bounded by the said river twelve score rods
north and by east, and from thence four hundred and forty rods;
east and by south, where there is both a twin hemlock and a single
hemlock marked, near unto John Folsom Senior's planting field; in
which compass there is contained, four score and ten acres, above
six hundred, for this reason, that what land shall appear legally to
be John Folsom Senior's, granted to himself, or to any other within
the same compass, from whom he can claim just right and title, may be
allowed unto him; if otherwise, the overplus of the said six hundred
acres will be thrown up again to the town, on that side next to
Pickpocket."

"Mr. Dudley," says one of the best historians, "labored faithfully
to improve the morals of his people, and he also tried to benefit and
enrich the town by augmenting its agricultural facilities and
mechanical conveniences. He kept good breeds of cattle, and worked
assiduously all his life to improve this new country.

He died at Exeter, February 10, 1683, aged 73, 4 years less than
the age at which his father died. The third wife was living in 1702
with her dan. Dorothy, wife of Moses Leavitt, ancestor of Dudley
Leavitt, the famous Almanac maker. They were probably buried in
the grave-yard west of the road from the court-house to New-market,
a little elevation in the north-west part of the village of Exeter.
Rev. Samuel Dudley died without making a will. His son, Theophilus
Dudley, was administrator of the estate. The land was
divided among the children. I believe each had a 12th part; for
Stephen, yeoman and planter, in 1703, gave his son James one-twelfth
part of the 600 acres; and James gave his "well beloved
kinsman," James Dudley, Jr., in 1712, one-twelfth part of the 600
acres granted his "honored father, Mr. Samuel Dudley, late of Exeter,
deceased;" and Samuel Dudley, calling himself son of the Rev.
Samuel, gives his part of the 600 acres to his two sons, Samuel and
Jonathan, in 1721; and when Timothy died, in 1702, he left a twelfth
part of the 600 acre lot to his brothers and sisters. By the Rev.
Samuel Dudley's Inventory which is in the Probate Office at Exeter,
he left 17 books, valued at £2; and his wearing apparel, £5, 125.

The women were poorly educated, and several wives of these
Dudleys made their marks for signatures, although they belonged to
the highest families.

Mr. Dudley's record and life were honorable. He certainly might
have had a high official career in the colonies if he had desired it,
and had not been a minister. It was against the custom of the
Puritans to take their chief public officials from the clerical class.
He had an excellent school-training. His hand-writing was fine and
clear (though much-abbreviated), with nice punctuation. The spelling
was uniform and modernized. There is no affectation of any sort in
his text or style. I have heard of no traditions about him, except
that he claimed to be of the Earl of Leicester's branch of the
Dudleys. He did not, however, use any family seal, or any other seal,
of arms so far as I have seen.

We have no written account of his personal traits and appearance.
But it has been told me by some who had it from their fathers or
grandfathers, that he was an active, sociable man, who could not bear
to be slandered and defamed, and admired simplicity of character
and plain rustic life. He does not seem to have left any portrait of
himself or any one of his family.

Bartholomew Heath B. 1643 in Nazing England emigrated to the New World
and lived in Haverhill, Essex, Massachusetts. He is listed as having
several sons and became a city father of Haverhill.. Haverhill came
into existence in 1640, only 20 years after the Pilgrims landed in
Plymouth Massachusetts. They lived as you would expect, in fear of
hunger and disease, They had small thatche and timber houses with mud
filled into thatched sticks. They wore home spun clothing and may had
wooden shoes. They wore black or brown and leather all natural fibers
and their houses surrounded a garden in the village with not much
delineation between barn and house. The Heaths lived in Haverhill for
over 200 years starting with Bartholomew.

"THE WRECK OF RIVERMOUTH"
In the autumn of 1657, an event occurred, which brought mourning andsorrow into several families in the town and cast a gloom over thewhole community. A vessel sailed from our river, October 20, bound toBoston, having on board four men, two women and two children--eightpersons in all--belonging to Hampton. From some cause not now known,the vessel, soon after leaving the harbor, either foundered, or wascapsized, and all on board perished. The persons lost were these:Robert Reed, Sergt. William Swaine, Emanuel Hilliard, John Philbrick,his wife Ann, and their daughter Sarah, Alice, the wife of Moses Cox,and John Cox their son, and as is supposed, their only child.
The entry is thus quaintly made on the town records:
"The sad hand of God upon eight psons goeing in a vessell by sea fromHampton to boston, who were all swallowed up in the ocean soon afterthey were out of the Harbour."

The wreck inspired John Greenleaf Whittier to write the poem, "THEWRECK OF RIVERMOUTH" in which he cites the beileif of some Hamptonresidents that the wreck was caused by the witchcraft of Eunice"Goody" Cole, the "Witch of Hampton".

This poem expands on the true story of a Hampton shipwreck from 1657,when a group of eight were killed in a sudden storm. Whittier creditsCelia Thaxter, poet from the Isles of Shoals, with giving him the ideafor the story. The addition of poor Goody Cole, Hampton's onlyconvicted "witch," shows Whittier's skill at weaving old legendstogether to heighten the drama of the story. His poem "The Changling"also features Goody, a woman so feared by townspeople that, after herdeath, she was buried with a stake driven into her heart.
Whittier also includes the character of Rev. Stephen Batchelder towhom he imagined he was related, though this connection, according tolocal historians, appears not to have been accurate. Related to aHampton Minister or not, Whittier did write as many as dozen poemsfocused in the region around Seacoast NH.

Whittier's narrator "writes" the poem from Appledore Island, whereCelia's circle of famous New England writers and artists gathered ather family's hotel. Looking back to the Hampton shore just eight milesaway, he imagines the deadly storm, two centuries earlier, appearingsuddenly and swallowing the small boat. We know Whittier, whose fameincreased steadily in his later years, made many trips to the Isles. Aconfirmed bachelor from nearby Amesbury and Haverhill, Whittiercorresponded often with Mrs. Thaxter. Modern fiction writer JuliaOlder has even speculated that their relationship was more thanplatonic, but that seems extremely unlikely. Celia's late grandaughterRosamond Thaxter, in her book "Sandpiper" devoted an entire chapter tothe relationship between the two poets from 1867-1892. When they firstspent time together at Appledore House, Celia was in her early 30s andWhittier just coming into his fame at age 60.

Regarding "Wreck of Rivermouth" Whittier, using his formal Quakerstyle, wrote to Celia on August 8, 1868: "By the way, thee ought tolike that poem, for it would scarcely have been written but for thee.The thought of thee and thy sea stories and pictures prompted it, andwhen writing I was wondering whether thee would like it."

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

Since Deborah was married in 1656, she was most likely born before1645, the date reported in some sources. She probably was born inWatertown, about 1640, and not in Hampton, as her parents did not moveto Hampton until about 1644. If she was born in 1645, she would havebeen only eleven at her marriage. As it was, she was only sixteen whenmarried if she was born in 1640.

Deborah died the day her second son named Stephen was born.

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

Godfrey and his family came to America by June 5, 1639, when he signed(by making his "D" mark) the "Exeter Combination," an agreement forself-government signed by 35 men, at the establishment of Exeter, NH.Godfrey was one of the followers of the Rev. John Wheelwright, thefounder of Exeter, who was from Alford, Lincolnshire (just a few milesfrom Hannah), and was banished from the Massachusetts Bay Colony in1639, along with his flock, for supporting his sister-in-law, thecelebrated Anne Hutchinson, in the Antinomian controversy.

Godfrey lived in Exeter for about 10 years after which he moved to theneighboring town of Hampton, NH. He built a house (still occupied at73 Exeter Road (Route 27)), reputed today to be the oldest frame housein the state. His wife was
living on March 4, 1649/50, when the plan for the seating in themeeting house shows the pew assignments for "Goodman" and "GoodyDerborn." He married for the third time on November 25, 1662, toDorothy (--) Dalton, widow of Philemon Dalton,
by whom she had no children. He made a will, dated 1680, but notproved until 171, in which he names his three sons and mentions histhree daughters. He died at Hampton on February 4, 1685/86. The largemonument erected in the 1890's to his
memory by a descendant in the high Street Cemetery in Hampton does notmark his final resting spot. Godfrey's son, Thomas, is the ancestor ofmost Dearborns living today.

(1603-1686) a Farmer the son of William and Agnes (Hay) Dearebarne wasborn on the twenty-fourth day of September 1603, at Exeter, England.He married Ann before 1633, at Exeter. She was born about 1605, atExeter, England died previous to the twenty-fifth day of November1662, at Hampton, New Hampshire, when he married his second wife.

In 1639, Reverend John Wheelwright, with a company of his friends,removed the colony in Massachusetts Bay to Exeter, in the province ofNew Hampshire, and founded a settlement. Supposing themselves to beout of the jurisdiction of any existing company or government, theyformed and signed among themselves a kind of social compact. Thiscompact was signed by thirty-five persons, of whom Godfrey was one.His signature to this document, like that attached to his will morethan forty years afterwards, he executed by his mark. He seems to havebeen a man of considerable standing and importance among thecolonists, which is proved by his being elected one of the selectmenboth of Exeter and Hampton. He is said to have been a native ofExeter, county of Devon, in the southwest part of England. He probablyhad not been long in this country when, in 1639, he moved to Exeter.

Godfrey remained in Exeter about ten years. His farm is said to havebeen situated within the present limits of the town of Stratham, nearthe residence of a Mister Scammons. He had, in 1644, a grant of meadowland. In1645, in connection with two other persons, he had a grant ofsix acres of meadow at the head of the Great Cove Creek. In 1648, hewas elected by the freemen to be their "Townsmen," or "Selectmen."

Between 1648 and 1650, Godfrey moved to Hampton, where he spent theremainder of his life. It appears by the Exeter record, that he waselected by the freemen to be their selectman of the town in 1648, andby the Hampton record, that on the fourth day of March 1650, seats inthe Hampton meeting house were assigned to "Goodman and GoodyDearborn." as early as 1645, several of the Exeter company moved toHampton, and Mister Wheelwright followed, in 1647. After this, severalothers followed the same example, among whom was Godfrey.

On Godfrey's arrival at Hampton the family settled at the "West End,"where he became a considerable landholder, and a man of someimportance in the affairs of the town. In 1651 he drew share numberone in the great ox pasture, though he voted against the division andentered his protest upon the record of the town. In 1670 he had agrant of eighty acres in addition to the extensive farm which healready possessed in the vicinity of his dwelling. He was taxed in1653 fifteen shillings, ten pence. He was elected by the freemen to betheir selectman in the years 1659, 1663 and 1671.

Godfrey at the age of eighty-three died on the fourth day of February1686, at Hampton. He made a will, dated on the fourteenth day ofDecember 1680, witnessed by Samuel Dalton and his wife, Mehitable.This will was not proved till the seventh day of June 1711, when thetestator had been dead more than twenty-five years, at which time, onthe death of his second son, it probably became necessary to proceedwith the settlement of the father's estate. At this period bothwitnesses to the will were dead, hence no proof could be accomplishedin the usual way. The administrator therefore petitioned the Governorof the province that he would compare the signature of the principalwitness with other samples of his well-known signature, as he had beenfor many years a Justice of the peace and town clerk, and from thiscomparison he was pleased to order the administration. This course theGovernor pursued and the administration was allowed.

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

Noyes et al (GDMNH, p. 541), call Abraham Perkins the brother of IsaacPerkins who was baptized at Hillmorton 26 January 1611/2 and whosettled in Hampton and died November 1685 (GDMNH, p. 542). WalterGoodwin Davis (Massachusetts and Maine Families in the Ancestry ofWalter Goodwin Davis, Vol. III, p. 169), lists 10 children of IsaacPerkins and his two wives, but does not mention Abraham, althoughthere is a gap between Abigail, baptized 8 November 1607 and Isaac,baptized 26 January 1611/2. If Abraham was baptized 28 January 1608/09or 28 January 1609/10, he might fit in that gap. (DBR, 28 October2001)

Walter Goodwin Davis continues (p. 173): In 1637 there was an IsaacPerkins in Ipswich where he owned "land lying above the street calledBrook street, six acres." He was dead before June 15, 1638, when hiswidow Alice Perkins sold the lot to Joseph Morse. It is tempting tobelieve that he was also of the hIllmorton stock. Our John Perkins[bp. Hillmorton 23 December 1583, died Ipswich, MA between 28 Marchand 26 September 1654] did not have a brother Isaac, but he had anuncle Isaac [bp. Hillmorton 26 January 1611/2] only eleven years olderthan he, while other isaacs were baptized in Hillmorton in 1597/8 and1611/2. If Isaac Perkins of Ipswich was a man of middle age, which wehave no means of knowing, he and Alice may have been the parents ofAbraham and Isaac Perkins who turned up at Hampton, not far down thecoast, where Abraham took the freeman's oath in 1640 and Isaac in1642. Thses men are presumed to have been brothers. Abraham named ason Luke, not a common name, and our John Perkins of Hillmorton andIpswich had an uncle Luke, a borther Luke, and a grandson Luke.

Abraham was at Hampton, New Hampshire, in 1638. He agreed to take theOath of Freeman or Citizenship on the thirteenth day of May 1640, atthe Hampton Settlement. In the preceding January the town granted himeighty acres of land, and in 1646 the shares in Commons. He waspossessed of a good education, was an excellent penman. He was electedby the Freemen to be their town Marshal in 1654. He was elected by theFreemen to be their Selectman some years between 1650 and 1683, andwas much employed in town business.

Abraham was involved in the civil troubles in Hampton. It began whenRobert Pike, one of the founders of Salisbury, and, in 1653, alieutenant, petty magistrate, and active citizen there, at the age ofthirty-six, was informed that the General Court of the Massachusettscolony, of which John Endicott was then governor, had passed a lawmaking it penal for certain persons to teach religion, it was aimedparticularly, it was said, at Thomas Macy and Joseph Peasley (see thePeasley family), of Salisbury, his neighbors, and was properlyindignant at such inter meddling with the conscience of Englishmen.Being accustomed to speak, his mind, Lieutenant Pike declared that"such persons as did act in making that law, did break their oath tothe country. For, he said, "It is against the liberty of the country,both civil and ecclesiastical." In this he was but echoing the wordsof Vane and of Cromwell, then in power in England, who he said."Liberty of conscience is a natural right, and he that would have itought to give it." But the Massachusetts bigots held no such liberaldoctrine. They soon sent an officer from Boston to the other side ofthe Merrimack, to bring Pike before them. Once there, the generalcourt ordered him to pay a fine of about thirteen pounds sterling andto be disfranchised, disqualified from ever holding office, and boundover to good behavior, like a criminal.

Lieutenant Pike was personally known to every man in Hampton, and muchsorrow and wrath was felt there at his unjust sentence. Then, and foryears after, he was intimate with Christopher Hussey, the uncle bymarriage of Nathaniel Bachiler (see the Batchelder family), and JohnSamborne (see the Sanborn family). Mister Hussey seems to have beenthe man who advised a petition to the court, asking to have Pike'ssentence revoked. It may have been drafted by John Samborne. They andtheir kinsmen signed it, and also Robert Tucke (see the Tucke family),the "chirurgeon" (surgeon) of the town, Abraham Perkins, the Moultons(see the Moulton family), and other substantial citizens, to thenumber of thirty-eight in all. A larger number of signers added theirnames in Salisbury and Newbury, and a few in Andover and Haverhill.

This moderate and numerously-signed petition made the Lords Brethrenat Boston still more angry than they had been before. They had theprudence, however, to repeal the obnoxious order that concerned publicpreaching without allowance.

At the session held on the tenth day of May 1658, at Boston, butwithout Pike's vote, a second severe law was passed against theQuakers, of which sect by this time were Thomas Macy and JosephPeasley, at whom the law of 1653 was aimed. King Charles II. in 1661revoked the law against the Quakers, after several of the sect hadbeen hanged in Boston, and others flogged in other towns, includingtwo women, in particular, having been sentenced by Major Waldron ofDover to be flogged, in 1656, all the way from Dover to Ipswich, atthe cart's tail. When they reached Salisbury, Major Pike, throughWalter Barefoot, released them, and forbade their whipping in hisjurisdiction, as the tradition goes. In 1682, notwithstanding hisliberal opinions, he was made an assistant, that is, a counselor, ofthe governor of Massachusetts, and continued in that office till hewas eighty years old. These laws are rarely supported by the majorityof the people, but get put into law by the vote of a few, not by amandatory majority vote.

Abraham at the age of seventy-two died on the thirty-first day ofAugust 1683, Hampton. His will was dated the twenty-second day ofAugust, and proved on the eighteenth day of September 1683.

(1618-1706) a Housewife was born in 1618, at Hillnorton, England. Atthe age of twenty she married Abraham Perkins in 1638, at Hillmorton,England.

Mary was a loving mother you taught her children many things that theywould need to know as they grew. She taught them that man is the onlycreature that can willingly choose to act against his self-interests.Other creatures are driven by instinct, but man alone chooses hispath. This ability to choose includes the ability to choose whatappears the be the wrong path.

Mary taught them that their decisions could be guided by a variety ofimpulses, a long-term plan, a misunderstood set of circumstances,apathy, a clear vision of the future, or a momentary pleasure. Theiractions could be trivial or crucially important. They could beself-sacrificing or self-indulgent. In the long run, they might bebetter off, or they might end up with nothing at all. In eachinstance, however, it would be them making the choice. And ultimatelythey will be responsible in a free society for the consequences oftheir choice. To be human is to be able to choose, even if you choosewrongly.

With each choice they were to make would come the responsibility forthe consequences of that choice. If they must choose between twoactions, or between action and non-action, they would, to the degreeof impact of their choices, give the alternatives some thought.However, if the choice is nonexistent, so will, in many cases, be thethought about the alternatives. If they have no say in the decision,they have no responsibility for the outcome.

Mary at the age of eighty-eight died on the twenty-ninth day of May1706, at Hampton, New Hampshire.

Henry came from England to Dorchester, Boston, Suffolk, Mass., in1639. He settled that year in Exeter, N.H., and was a signer of theCombination. He moved to Hampton soon after 1650. He was a justice ofthe peace many years; justice of the Court of Sessions; constable in1661; selectman in 1656, 1660, 1665, and 1681. He kept an ordinary(public house) for 8 or 10 years, where he was licensed "to sell beereand wine and strong waters by retaile, and ye sd Robie doth bindehimself, in ye sum of 40Li, on condition not to suffer any townsmen,men's children and servants to be tipling in his house." While he wasjustice of the peace, on February 6, 1683, he and three other justicessigned the commitment of Reverend Joshua Moody, pastor of the churchin Portsmouth, for six months for refusing to administer the sacramentin accordance with the laws of Great Britain. (Abstracted fromStearns' Genelogical History of New Hampshire, Vol 1, p. 325)

Henry was presented in the Ipswich court on September 29, 1646 fordrawing wine and beer without license, required to pay his fine at thecourt of Mrch 30, 1647 (Essex Antiquarian, 8:9).

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

Baptised in London, September 16, 1627. Killed by Indians 8/26/1696.According to Locke, p. 1, John is very likely Thomas Locke's son basedon information in the London White Chapel Register. Thomas had twosons, John and Nathaniel, who were baptized in London and it is verylikely that they are the two Lockes of Portsmouth, New Hampshire.There is no record of the arrival of John and Nathaniel. Elizabeth andJohn lived for a time in Portsmouth, though he probably settled onthis land in 1666 without permission of the town. Later, they settledon Jocelyn's (Locke's) Neck in what is now Rye.

From Locke, p. 6,7: "He was noted for the daring and success withwhich he fought the Indians, foiling their many attempts to destroythe settlers, hence was correspondingly hated by them. On one of theirraids from the east, landing on the coast near Locke's Neck, theyconcealed their canoes in the bushes and went inland to surprise theirintended victims. Locke discovered the canoes and cut generous slashesin them where the cuts were not seen at first glance. The Indiansreturning from their murderous expedition, pushed off only to findthemselves sinking, thereby losing nearly all their plunder, stones,and arms and making it necessary for them to escape overland,suffering many hardships and losing some of their band. Later, a partyof eight came from the eastward with the express purpose of killingLocke and, surprising him as he was reaping grain in his field,mortally wounded him with his own gun, which he had left against arock at some distance away. They then returned without doing furtherdamage. One account says that when the Indians ran up to scalp Locke,the latter had strength enough left to cut off the nose of one withthe sickle he had been using; which act was seen by one of his sonswho had secreted himself in the grain."

In reference to the killing of John Locke, Roy, p. 5, says: "Yearsafterwards, his son met a noseless Indian in Portsmouth. While theyboth recognized each other, we know not what ensued."

John Locke was referred to as a carpenter and a minister. He also hada military rank of Capt or Lieut.

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

From Stearn's "Genealogy of New Hampshire:" "On March 25, 1666, hebought of Giles Fifield one dwelling house and house lot containingten acres, together with six acres of marsh. This house lot lay on thesouth side of the common in Hampton and entitled him to two shares ofthe commonage. This homestead continued in the posession of hisdescendants down to the seventh generation and perhaps longer. Hebecame blind during the last ten years of his life.."

Some records show Rev. Hanserd Knollys as the father of John Knowles.Rev. Knolly came to New England in the1630's. He was the minister ofDover, NH for about four years, but was recalled to England about1642, where he died 19 Sep 1691 at age 93. The book "English Originsof New England Families" states his only son died before him inEngland, making it doubtful John was his son.
John Knowles was possibly a Roundhead supporter of Cromwell. Legend inthe family is "you don't talk about it after you cut off the King'shead", in reference to the execution of King Charles I in 1649. JohnKnowles was a mariner, and his name is on the founder's stone ofHampton, NH.

3. SAMUEL2 HAINES (SAMUEL1 HAINES, ("DEACON")) was born 1646 in Dover,NH, and died 1688-1689 in Greenland, NH. He married MARY FIFIELDJanuary 09, 1672/73 in Hampton, NH, daughter of GILES FIFIELD and MARYPERKINS. I BELIEVE THIS IS INCORRECT - GJR SEE BELOW***

Notes for SAMUEL HAINES:
Samuel Haines was born in Dover, and at the age of four years wentwith his father to what is now Greenland. At the age of twenty-sevenhe married Mary Fifield of Hampton, with whom he lived about sixteenyears, when he died at the early age of forty-three. He came intopossession of his father's homestead by will-deed, dated Dec 28, 1682.It appears that he spent his life upon the farm. He was a member ofthe North Church in Portsmouth. In 1683 he signed a petition settingforth grievances growing out of the Mason Patent. He did considerablebusiness at the sawmill, as well as on the farm. On the 19th of Jan,1749, Elias Philbrick of Greenland, in a deposition before Justices ofthe Peace, said "that the deponent remembers the said Samuel Hainesbuilt a Garrison where he lived, and Remembers the names and Color ofthe Oxen (belonging to said Samuel) which were employed in haling thetimber for that Purpose; that the said Samuel was the Elder of the twoBrothers, and Died first, tho. they died within a week of one another,and according to this deponent's Remembrance it is about fifty-nineyears ago, but how much more he is not certain and cannot Say; and hewell Remembers that it was a thing much observed as a RemarkableProvidence and that it was in the winter time." He built the garrisonat the breaking out of King William's war in 1689. His wife, Mary, wasliving April 27, 1723. She died within two yeare of that time.

Mathias and his brother Samuel ran their grandfather's sawmill andcarried on the work the Deacon had started. Both Mathias and Samueldied within a week of each other. They were building a stockadetogether since they were bothered by Indians and wild animals. It wasduring that time that a record entry was made as follows: "Mathias andhis brother Samuel died in the wintertime within a few days of eachother, and the event was very much taken notice of, and considered asa Providence, for they were Noted Men and carried their work togetherin Partnership." It is assumed they were killed by Indians.

Children of SAMUEL HAINES and MARY FIFIELD are:
i. SARAH3 HAINES, b. October 06, 1673; m. NATHANIEL HUGGINS, Bef.March 29, 1725.
Notes for SARAH HAINES:
Sarah Haines sold her right inn the old homestead to her threebrothers in 1725. She joined the Congregational church in Greenland in1729. No record of her death has been found.

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

1607-1693) a Farmer the second of eight children of Stephen andMargaret (Cooke) Williams was born on the twenty-fourth day of July1607, at Yarmouth, England. He married Elizabeth Stalham on theeleventh day of December 1628, in England.

Robert probably arrived in this country about the year 1638. He agreedto take the Oath of Freeman or Citizenship that year in Roxbury,Massachusetts, and settled there eighteen years from the time of thelanding of the Pilgrims, and eight years from the time of thesettlement of Trimontain, Shawmut, now Boston, Massachusetts. At thetime of the first settlement of Boston, there was but one Englishinhabitant in Roxbury. We have no account of the cause of his leavinghis native land, but it was, probably on account of the religiouspersecutions of the Puritans, which at that time was carried on inEngland with fiery and unrelenting zeal, so much so that our ancestorspreferred risking their lives and property in a savage wilderness, fardistant from their native homes, to the more savage persecutions offanatical bigots. The faithful page of history has informed us theprivations and sufferings of our fathers in establishing themselves inthis howling wilderness, and how much they had to contend with fromthe warfare of the savages, from famine, and from disease.

Robert must have participated largely in those privations andsufferings. The imagination can scarcely conceive the hardships whichour fathers endured on their first perilous voyage, and on theirarrival on the then inhospitable coast of rocky New England, in thecold and dreary season of winter. A considerable portion of theemigrants perished on the voyage, and on their arrival upon the coastthey found that a pestilential disease had almost depopulated severalIndian villages, and it was still raging among them. Captain Dermer,an Englishman, arrived upon our coast, in a fishing vessel in thewinter of 1618 and 1619, and remained in Monhiggan, an Indian town,during the winter and on his way to Virginia, in May 1619, he foundseveral Indian towns completely depopulated, and some with but few ofthe Indians living. This complaint he called the plague, from thesores which some of them who had escaped from death had upon theirbodies. This disease was very mortal in America in 1618, and so fatalwas the pestilence that the Narragansett and Penobscot Indians, thelimits to which the disease was supposed to extend, were reduced innumber from nine thousand to a few hundred. Thirty thousand of theMassachusetts, Indians were supposed to have been reduced to aboutthree hundred. When our ancestors arrived in 1620, their bones werefound unburied in many parts of the country, and in some places theirfestering bodies lay putrefying in the sun. They were deserted andtheir bodies left to contaminate the atmosphere.

A pestilent fever attacked the inhabitants of Plymouth in 1633, andcarried off twenty of the inhabitants, a large number for so small asettlement. In 1638, there was a great deal of sickness in America. Itwas so severe that a fast was observed in December, on account of theprevalence of small-pox and yellow fever.

Such were some of the horrors with which our ancestors had to contendin the early settlement of the country, which they have transmitted tous in peace and in plenty. All these hardships and sufferings wereendured by our ancestors in preference to their unrelentingpersecutions in their native land.

Robert at the age of at least eighty and may have been a hundred diedon the first day of September 1693, at Roxbury. His grave stone cannotbe found in the Roxbury burying ground.

Robert emmigrated to the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1637 as evidencedby the passenger lists of the John and Dorothy and the Rose. "April8th 1637.

They apparently sailedfrom Yarmout h. Robert settled in Roxbury, was admitted freeman May 2,1638, and died Sept. 1, 1693 at the age of 86.

Robert Williams served as town clerk in Roxbury and also as aselectman in 1647 and 1653. His lands, as described in the town booksin 1654, consisted of 135 acres.

Robert was a cordwainer's apprentice in Norwich from 1623 to 1630,when he became a freeman. In 1635 he was warden of the Guild ofCordwainers and Sealer of Leather for the City of Norwich. Robert'sbrother Nicholas was apprenticed to Robert in E ngland as acordwainer, i.e. leather worker. No record of the marriage betweenRobert Williams and Elizabeth Stalham can be found, nor does thereappear any proof that Robert's wife's surname was Stalham. Elizabethwas born abt. 15957 [sic] an d was probably the daughter of JohnStalham, mason of Norwich and his wife Alicia (Gibson) Stalham.According to family tradition, Robert's wife "was of a good family andhad been delicately reared; and when her husband desired to come toAmerica , though a truly religious woman, she dreaded the undertakingand shrank from the hardships to be encountered. While the subject wasstill under discussion, she had a dream fore-shadowing that if shewent to America, she would become the mother o f a long line of worthyministers of the Gospel. The dream so impressed her that she rose upcheerfully and began to prepare to leave her home and kindred for thenew and distant land". This tradition was related and believed by oneof her descend ants, Mrs. Emily Williams of Wethersfield in the earlypart of the nineteenth century.

3778. Thomas* Wetmore, son of John* Whitmore, was born before 5 May 1624 and died on 11 Dec 1681 in Middletown, Middlesex, CT.

General Notes: Thomas came from one of the western counties of England to Boston atage
20 (1635), supposedly sailing from Bristol. He soon moved to
Wethersfield. His name is spelled Whitmore in Wethersfield records. He
moved to Hartford about the time of the difficulty that arose between
colonists (1640-1).
In 1650, Thomas Whitmore, John Hall and others were among the first to
settle that plantation of Massabesek(Mattebesick). The following yearit
was renamed Middletown. Thomas Whitmore represented Middletown at the
General Assemby in 1654 and 1655. His land is recorded Jan 10, 1654
(v1p3).
Most of the inhabitants of Middletown lived in the town near themeeting
house. The homesead of Thomas was on the north end of the main street,
east side and was known for generations as the Whitmore property. The
Church of the Holy Trinity is supposed to be on land once owned by
Thomas. Thomas name is on a plaque at the entrance to the oldRiverside
Cemetery, Middltown as on of the first settlers. At his death he had17
children, 16 of whom were still alive, aged 36 to 1 year. At that timehe
had 2 living daughters named Hannah one age 28 and the other 1 year.
The name was spelled Whitmore to the end of Thomas life, and is very
distinctly Whitmore on his will dated Jul 20, 1891. Copy of the willcan
be optained from my sources. But by the 4th generation it wasgenerally
spelled Wetmore.
He is thought to be decended from John Whitmore, Lord Whytemore wholived
in the Reign of Henry III and Edward I in Stafford, Eng

3780. Alexander* Edwards was born in Wales and died on 4 Sep 1690 in Northampton, Hampshire Co., Massachusetts.

General Notes: According to "Field Genealogy," Vol I, pg. 115, Alexander Edwards camefrom Wales to New England in 1640 and settled first in Springfield,MA. He removed to Northampton in 1655 and died 4 Sept. 1690. Hemarried the widow of John Searle, an immigrant from England toSpringfield, Sarah Baldwin

Embarked at Bristol, settled in Springfield, Massachusetts in 1640.Alexander was one of the 4 people that financed the first grist millinNorthampton, MA and also owned stock in a lead mine. His first houselot was later part of the homestead of Gov Caleb Strong. In 1660 hemoved and his land included where Plymouth Hall and Forbes Librarystand. It was within the palisades erected against the Indians. Hecontributed 5 acres to be used by the pastor. He signed the covenantfor the new church in 1661. In 1673 he contributed 8 pounds of flaxfor Harvard College.

There was a wide spread disease that caused fever and ague in 1688to1690 that caused the death of Alexander and almost 50 other settlersof Northampton.

Alexander* married Sarah* Baldwin, daughter of Richard Baldwin and Isabel Harding, on 28 Apr 1642 in Springfield, Hampden Co., Massachusetts. Sarah* was born before 25 Jun 1621 in Chesham, Buckinghamshire, England and died on 3 Oct 1690 in Northampton, Hampshire Co., Massachusetts.

3781. Sarah* Baldwin, daughter of Richard Baldwin and Isabel Harding, was born before 25 Jun 1621 in Chesham, Buckinghamshire, England and died on 3 Oct 1690 in Northampton, Hampshire Co., Massachusetts.

General Notes: According to "Field Genealogy," Sarah (Baldwin) (Searle) Edwards was adaughter of Sylvester Baldwin who died on the ship "Martin" whiletravelling to New England. His widow settled at New Haven thenMilford, CT with her children. However, Savage and the "Register,"discussing the will of Benjamin Fenn, indicates that Sarah Baldwin,daughter of Sylvester Baldwin, married, as his first wife, BenjaminFenn (see elsewhere in this genealogy). Given that John Searle was ofSpringfield, MA and Alexander Edwards was of Northampton, it seemsless likely that this Sarah Baldwin, resident of CT, was daughter ofSylvester.

Perhaps this Sarah was sister of Joseph Baldwin, an early settler ofMilford, CT. He and his wife were admitted as members of the churchthere 23 June 1644 and, in about 1663, Joseph and his wife removed toHadley.

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

From "The Kirbys of New England," by Melatiah Everett Dwight, p. 7-8:"John Kirby of Middletown, Ct., came from Warwickshire, England. Forthere is a deed of property by him to Richard Lord of Hartford, Ct.,made Sept. 3, 1654, and recorded in Manuscript Copy of First BookColonial Records of Connecticut, pp. 272, 273, said propertyconsisting of a house and land, and situated within the bounds of thetownship of Rowington in Warwickshire, England, which indicates thathe was a native of that county. He came to New England, as has beenpresumed, during the autumn of 1635 in the ship Hopewell, CaptainBabb, Master, being then only twelve years of age. In Aug., 1643 hewas living at Plymouth, Mass., and before April, 1645, he had become aresident of Hartford, Ct. For at this date it is recorded that 'JohnKirby and Seth Grant contracted to herd the Hartford cattle for astated price payable at their houses in corn, pease, etc. on theirdemand.' In 1647 he appears to be living in Wethersfield, Ct., for thetown record state that in this year he recorded 'ear marks' for hiscattle. The Wethersfield records state that his daughter Hannah wasborn in Wethersfield March 2, 1649, so that he was certainly by thattime an inhabitant of that place. Having joined 'The Company forsettling the planting grounds at Mattabesett,' he became a resident ofMiddletown, Ct., some time between Dec., 1651, and Jan. 16, 1654, andremained there until his death. His lands in Middletown, which wererecorded to him in the Town Book, Jan. 10, 1655, were located on the'North Side' of the rivulet, or 'North Society,' now the town ofCromwell, Ct. His homestead farm was situated in the extreme westernpart of the present town of Cromwell, in the bed of the riverMattabesett (Little River) which it turns and runs southeast. Thebridge over the river, just above the bend, is still called the Kirbybridge.

"In the first place I do will my soul unto the hands of Jesus Christmy Lord and God, and will my body to be decently buried and for theoutward estate which God hath given me, I do dispose thereof in mannerfollowing.
"First of all to the intent that my loving wife may not be destituteof a comfortable subsistence while she shall live, I do give andbequeath unto her the possession and use of all my estate, whetherhouseing or lands, or other estate, as exists in my posession duringher natural life; excepting only what shall afterwards be particularlymentioned. I do also give her liberty if she see herself necessitatedso to do to sell any such part of my estate as aforesaid for hernecessary living.
"Item: I do give and bequeath to my son Joseph and to my daughter Maryeach of them a portion double to the portion of any of the rest of mychildren; and to the rest of my children (all of which are daughters)I do give each of them a portion equal to one another. I will alsothat in case Joseph shall marry before his mothers decease that thenhe shall have the use of that house and lot which Jno. should have hadif he had lived, and in case (and as long as) his mother can spare ittogether with whatever else his mother can and shall see cause toaccommodate him withal yet not exceeding his said portion.
"Item: My will is that my lands (excepting what my wife may benecessitated and see cause to sell as is above said) as well as myother estate shall be divided among all my children according to theproportion aforesaid, and inasmuch as some of my children are deceasedand have left children behind them, my will is that the portion ofthese my children which are already deceased, or which shall deceaseand leave children surviving before this distribution of my estate befully made; and which cannot be made while my wife shall live; I saythe portion of any of my children so deceased, or deceasing, shallfall to the children of the deceased or to such of those children asshall be living when this distribution shall be made. Also, forasmuchas some of my children have received something in part of theirportion already, I will that what they have received be accounted aspart of their portion and said portion which I now give to them, andthat the rest which have yet received nothing have a portion equal tothem, both as to what they have already received and are yet toreceive, that is Joseph equal to Mary and the rest one to anotherequal as is aforesaid.

"Item: As for my said portion in such lands as are not yet but may behereafter divided, I do bequeath the same to the use and disposal ofmy wife as aforesaid during her life in case they be divided while shelives, and whether they be or no my will is they be distributed amongmy children as my other lands are.

From "The Kirbys of New England," by Melatiah Everett Dwight, p.14-15: "Concerning the wife of John Kirby nothing is positively knownexcept that her name was Elizabeth; that she married (2) AbrahamRandall of Windsor, Ct.; outlived her second husband, and died after1697. It is believed, however, that her name was Elizabeth Hinds; thatshe was the niece of Sarah (Hinds) Cheplin, wife of Clement Cheplin ofBury St. Edmunds, Co. Suffolk, England, and afterward of Wethersfield,Ct.; that she was born in Bury St. Edmunds, and accompanied, orfollowed, her aunt to Wetherfield, Ct., and was married to John Kirbybefore 1645. The reasons for such belief are based mainly upon thefollowing letter, found in Hartford in the manuscript copy of thefirst book of the Colonial Records of Connecticut, page 273 (originalbook, page 285):
"'Cozin Kirby. My love remembered to you both. I have sent your Wife asmall token with a Letter to you by Wm. Goodrich. Your Wife's fatheris yett alive and in good Health.

"'Superseribed to my Cozin John Kirby late of Wethersfield.'
"The terms of John Kirby's will show that his wife Elizabeth must havebeen a woman whose husband could safely trust in her, for he left herthe possession and use of all his estate during her life. And that shewas worthy of such confidence is evident from her relinquishment ofthe estate so bequeathed to her, 'that she might not be destitute of acomfortable subsistence,' to her children after her second marriage.She married second time, Oct. 27, 1681, Abraham Randall of Windsor,Ct., the son of Philip Randall of Dorchester and Windsor. Mr. Randalldied Oct. 2, 1690, in Windsor, and she returned to Middletown. InApril 1697, she had become a resident of Wetherfield, and probablydied there."

The genealogy of Lieutenant Samuel Smith says:
"SAMUEL SMITH , called Lieutenant Samuel after his appointment in1663, was born in England, probably near Hadleigh in Suffolk, in 1601or 1602 where he married about1624 one Elizabeth who d. in So. Hadley,Mass., Mar.16, 1686, age 84. He died in Hadley Massachusetts in Dec1680, age 78. (His estate was inventoried in January 1681) He camewith his wife and four of his children in the ship "Elizabeth" whichsailed from Ipswich, Suffolk, England (see Judds "Hadley") on April30, 1634.
He and his wife Elizabeth gave their ages as 32, and named their fourchildren as follows: Samuel, Jr., age 9; Elizabeth, age 7; Mary age 4and Philip, age 1. On board the same ship were families named Rayner,Kemball, Scott, Munnings, Mixer, Bradstreet, Underwood, all said tohave been Suffolk people, and Lewis, Woodward,Bloomfield, Day,Hastings, Gouldson, Cutting and Firmin whose origins are unknown.
"Assuming a period of two to three months to complete a crossing ofthe Atlantic in those days, the family probably did not reach theshores of America earlier than late July or early August of 1634. Justwhere they landed is not known. Some say it was at Salem and indeed aSamuel Smyth(sic) is recorded (Annals of Salem by Joseph B. Felt, Vol.I, p. 167) as having been granted land and made a freeman in Salemsubsequent to 1637. But the "History of Salem" by Sidney Perley, Vol.II, page 11, says, "at a meeting of the whole town April 23, 1638there was grante to Samuel Smith 200 acres of land being 50 more thanhis former grant of 100 (sic) acres which was annulled"; then in afoot note it is stated that Samuel Smith was one of the very firstsettlers in Enon which became Wenham. He married Sarah who died in theautumn of 1642. On page 127 of the same Vol. II it is stated thatSamuel Smith built a house in Wenham where he lived until 1642 when hedied. "This Salem record seems to dispose of the claim that theWethersfield Samuel Smith first settled in Salem. That he was inWatertown is borne out by the fact that in September of 1634, whichmust have been soon after his arrival from England, he was a freemanand an early proprietor in that town but with no evidence that he wasa resident. (see Bonds History of Watertown, p. 1017.) Some haveconjectured that he immediately went to Wethersfield Connecticut, Thiswriter doubts this because no permission was so early given by theGeneral Court for removal thence and being a freeman and therefore achurch member in good and favorable standing and with right to vote inthe town it is improbable that he would have risked so much with hisfamily of wife and four small children in the face of so many otherdangers and difficulties. He could, however, have ventured aloneleaving his family with friends or relatives on the seaboard whilemaking an exploratory trip and as we shall see later this writersuspect that this is what he did. The General Court gave its approvalon May 6th and June 3rd of 1635 for removal of people from Watertown"to any place they shall think meet to make choice, provided theycontinue still under this government" and it was after one of thesedates that it seems reasonable that Samuel Smith and his familydeparted. Adams and Stiles in their monumental "Ancient Wethersfield",say on page 300 of Vol I that they came "in 1635 or late 1634". "Howhe made the journey is not known. He could have done it, as many did,by overland route over Indian trails or he could have gone by waterwhich in some ways was more hazardous because of storms and unchartedchannels which took their toll of coastal craft. Some sent theirhouse-hold goods by water but brought themselves, their horses, cattleand hogs by land. Winthrop's "History of New England", page 140 Vol.I, tells of a party of sixty men, women and little children goingoverland to Connecticut in September of 1635 with their cows, horsesand swine, and arriving safely. Wethersfield is said to have beendiscovered by John Oldham and three others in the autumn of 1633.Those who came in 1635 and 1636 according to "Bonds History ofWatertown, Massachusetts", as listed on page 29 of Adams and Stiles"Old Wethersfield", include Samuel Smith and Lieutenant Robert Seeley.There is a strong implication that Samuel may have gone ahead of hisfamily. On page 30 - 31of Adams and Stiles "Ancient Wethersfield" isgiven a Iist of new arrivals in Wethersfield between 1636 and 1640 "nolater than 1645". In that list is Rev. Henry Smith and "his sonsSamuel and Philip". Since Rev. Henry had no son Philip and his sonSamuel was not born until 1638 or 39(see page 628 of Vol. II of Stiles"Ancient Wethersfield") and Samuel did have sons of both names whoseages in 1636 were 11 and 3 respectively (see page 647 of Vol. II ofStiles "Ancient Wethersfield") it is quite certain the Samuel andPhilip listed were sons of Samuel rather than of Rev. Henry. If thisbe true then here to evidence of them arriving later than their fatherwho came in 1635 or 36, thus
solving the question of how he could have housed them that first yearin the Wilderness of Pyquag the Indian name of the settlement beforeit was renamed Wethersfield. Being there ahead of them he could havebuilt a home for their arrival the following year. A map of oldWethersfield with layout of streets and lots, 1633,_34, shows theSamuel Smith homestead as lying on Broad Street between the householdsof Thomas Killbourn on the north and John Edwards on the south. Thehousehold of Rev. Henry Smith, the first pastor of the WethersfieldChurch, also the households of Richard Smith and William Smith areindicated on the map. None of these latter three Smiths are thought tohave been related to Samuel. Nathaniel Foote and J. Churchill withwhose families members and descendants of the Samuel Smith familylater intermarried, are shown but not John Roote or Luke Hitchcock whocame later. Robert Seeley, from whom the children of this writer's sondirectly descend, is shown, he having been one of the very earlysettlers of Wethersfield.
"Samuel Smith is called "The Fellmonger" in the early Wethersfieldrecords meaning very likely that he was a tanner by trade and a dealerin skins and furs of animals. The word generally refers to sheep peltsbut there could not have been many sheep in that wolf infestedwilderness at so early a date although there were some a little later.This writer rather expected to find that he was a representative orLondon fur traders who were becoming active in North America at thetime but no records to support this conjecture have been found. Hemust have been a man of some means because he figured in a goodlynumber of land purchases and sales in Wethersfield. On page 643, Vol.I of Adams and Stiles "Ancient Wethersfield" the statement is madethat Samuel Smith was "one of the wealthiest men Wethersfield". Thiswas in 1646. His son John in 1672 was admitted by town vote inWethersfield as an inhabitant to set up "a trade of tarnning in thistown". He had been living in Hadley and evidently had returned toWethersfield then or before.
"Samuel Smith served Wethersfield as a Deputy to the general Courtalmost
continuously from November 1637 to May 1656. He also served asAssistant to the Connecticut Colony in March and April of 1638. (SeeConn. Colonial records) The General Court sat first at Hartford (April26, 1636) by authority of a commission from Governor Winthrop -Massachusetts to "govern the people of Connecticut for the space ofone year". Rev. Henry Smith was one of the governor's originalappointees and was living in Watertown Massachusetts at the time.Later the General Court of Connecticut which included the electeddeputies called itself the "General Assembly". In May of 1678 it wasknown as the "Governor and Council". In May of 1698 it was dividedinto two sections known as "The Upper House" which consisted of theGovernor or his deputy and his assistants and the "Lower House" madeup of the deputies of the several towns. In 1819 the Upper Housebecame Senators, the Lower House, Representatives. "The Court in earlydays consisted of the Governor and least seven chosen assistants andfour deputies from-each town. It not only performed legislative andadjudicative functions but also served as the "Court of Elections"with power to choose the Governor and his assistants. In February 1651Samuel Smith served as a member of a Particular Court in Hartford,chosen to try John Carrington and his wife for witchcraft. Anindictment "thou deservest to dye" was returned but the sentences wereprobably not carried out. "Samuel Smith figured in a number of landtransactions and seems to have been engaged in various commercialenterprises. In November 1649 the General Court authorized him and"the rest of the owners of the shipp at Wethersfield to fit and makeso many pipestaves as will freight out said shipp the first voyage,etc.". Pipestaves were used in the West Indies to make barrels for theshipment of molasses, rum, salt beef, pork and fish. The building ofthis ship had been authorized by the General Court and was probablythe first ship built in Connecticut. Thomas Deming, a ship carpenter,was probably the master builder. The ship was named the "Tryall" andcaptained first by Mr. Larribee, and the boatswain was Christopher Foxof Wethersfield. It appears that she was still in operation in 1662plying as far as the West Indles. On December 28, 1629 Samuel SmithSr., Nathaniel Dickinson and Mr. Trat (probably Richard Treat) werechosen by the town to "seat men and women in the meeting house", animportant assignment in those days when social rank as practiced inold England still influenced the settlers. Seating was done on thebasis of community standing and could be done peaceably only byfreeman most highly regarded both for integrity and social rank. "OnMar. 28, 1653 in a town meeting Samuel Smith was one of those chosento meet with a committee from Mattabeseck (Middletown) to fix theboundary line between the two settlements. Boundary matters weretroublesome in those days and required many adjustments to settleoverlapping and infringement problems that arose among the settlers.
"In May 1653 Samuel Smith was made a member of the Committee for Warin
Wethersfield and sometime before 1658 was commissioned a Sergeant ofthe
Wethersfield train band. The train band was an organization formed todefend the town and its officers were chosen by the soldiers, subjectto confirmation by the Particular Court which dealt with the lessercases, offenders having the right of appeal to the General Court.Wethersfield sent a contingent of men under the command of LieutenantRobert Seeley to fight the Pequots in 1637 and it is said that SamuelSmith was one of the group but this writer has seen no definite proofof it. (Many early records of Wethersfield were probably lost at thetime of the Stamford and Hadley migrations.)
"Wethersfield during the first twenty five years of its existencesuffered two church quarrels one in 1640-41 resulting in a largenumber of its citizens going to the Rippowam's Country (StamfordConnecticut) and to Saybrook (New Haven, Stratford and Milford), and asecond, in 1659 resuiting in an additional number removing themselvesfrom the Jurisdiction of Connecticut into the jurisdiction ofMassachusetts and founding Hadley See petition reproduced with JohnDeming information. The meeting at which this latter removal wasdecided was held at Goodman Ward's house in Hartford on April 18,1659. Here a compact was signed by 59 men, 20 of whom, includingSamuel Smith Sr., Samuel Smith Jr. and Philip Smith were fromWethersfield. The signers agreed to remove themselves and families tothe new settlement on the east side of the river from Northhampton andto be dwelling there by the 39th day of September 1660. The Rev. JohnRussell Jr. Of Wethersfield was their spiritual leader and becametheir first minister at Hadley.
"The History of Northampton by Trumbull Vol. I, page76 refers to theagents of the Hartford Company, one of whom was Samuel Smith ofWethersfield, as purchasing, in 1659, the meadow of "Capewonke", laterknown as Hatfleld. It was then a part of Nanotuck (Nonotuck) includingNorthampton, a part of the grant made to the settlers fromConnecticut, largely Windsor and Hartford, who settled Northampton in1653. The price paid was 30 pounds in wheat and peas, delivered atHartford, and the payment is recorded as having been made promptly.(First Book of Deeds at Springsfield.)
"On November 9th, 1659, at Hartford and approximately at the same timeat
Wethersfield and at the new plantation at Norwottuck (Hadley) which bythen included Capewonke, the settlers and the settlers to be, choseseven men, among-them Samuel Smith, "to order all public occasionsthat concern the good of that plantation for the year ensueing" (FirstBook of Records in Hadley)
"There were 48 original proprietors of the settlement in theNorwottuck Country, later called Hadley, including among them SamuelSmith and his sons Chileab and Philip. It will be noted that his sonsSamuel and John do not appear. John, it seems by the records, livedalternately in Hadley and Wethersfield. Samuel, Jr. is thought to haveremoved to New London and thence to Virginia and all track of himlost. (P. 647 Vol. II of Stiles "Ancient Wethersfield".) "SamuelSmith's public life in the new Norwottuck plantation, later Hadley,began soon after his arrival, He and Peter Tilton were chosen TownMeasurers on December 31, 1660 to lay out the lands for the settlers,place stakes at the "front and rear" of every lot and keep a record ofthem. During the same month at Norwottuck, along with NathanielDickinson, Andrew Bacon, Andrew Warner and William Lewis, Samuel Smithwas chosen as one of the first Townsmen, now called Selectmen. Heattended the March 1661 session of the General Court at Springfield asa juror. At the next meeting of the court on May 22, the town wasnamed Hadley, after Hadleigh in Suffolk County, England from whencecame some of the settlers including, probably, Samuel Smith and hiswife, Elizabeth. "The May 22, 1661 session of the court authorized thetown of Hadley to choose commissioners with power, and without jury todetermine civil actions not exceeding 5 pounds and to deal withcriminal actions where the penalty did not exceed ten stripes for oneoffense, "provided said offenders may appeal their cases to theSpringfield or Northampton courts". The townspeople met, as authorizedand chose three commissioners or Deputies to the General Courts onebeing Samuel Smith, the other two Andrew Bacon and Mr. WllliamWestwood. He was chosen again in 1663,1664, 1665, 1667, 1668, 1671 and1673 and very probably, if the record was complete, in some otheryears as well. He was also made associate of the County Court forHampshire County in 1678 and 1679.
"Samuel Smith was chosen to be a Townsman or Selectman tine aftertime, his last election being in 1680 the year of his death. From therecords it would appear, also, that in the years when he did not serveas Townsman his talented son Philip served instead. In one year, 1675,when he did not serve, two of his son, Philip and Chileab were chosen."At its session of May 1663, the Court approved Samuel Smith asLieutenant of the Hadley Trainband to serve under Capt. John Pynchonof Springfield a position he held until 1678 when he resigned becauseor his advanced age. He served inactively in King Philip's War where,in 1676, his son John was killed by Indians at Hatfield and where, ayear later, his son-in-law, John Graves met the same fate. Thesetragic deaths were a portent of what was to come twenty years laterwhen on September 16, 1696 Elizabeth Foote Belden a granddaughter ofLieut. Samuel Smith was killed by Indians at Deerfield, Mass. and 6 ofher 14 children were either killed, wounded or captured by them. In1704, also, a great grandchild, Samuel Foote was ambushed and killedby Indians. "Returning to the earlier period, Samuel's home in Hadleywas said to have served as a hiding place for the regicides, Whalleyand Goffe, for a part of the time they were in Hadley. The authorityfor this is a letter dated March 26, 1793 written by Samuel Hopkins toYale's president, Ezra Stiles. It's a reasonable conjecture because ofSamuel Smith's prominence in Hadley at the time. "On December 16, 1661and for a number of years thereafter Samuel Smith "was chosen" ratemakers that is to say, assessor. A plat of the village of Hadley for1663 shows Liert. Samuel Smith and his sons Philip and Chileab owninglots of 8 acres each. (Judds Hadley, Part I, pp. 2h, 26.) Samuel's lotwas valued at the top value of 200 pounds, Philip's at 150 pounds andChileab's at 100 pounds. In1681, after Lieut. Samuel's death, his sonPhilip was the second largest and his son Chileab the 5th largest taxpayer in the town. In 1686 after the son Philip's death (by hideouswitchcraft) the son Chileab Smith is shown to have been the largesttaxpayer. "In April 1664 Mr. Samuel Smith was empowered to purchaseland "to secure the north line of Hadley", (page 21Judds Hadley, PartI), at a price not exceeding 200 pounds. He did not succeed andpetitioned the General Court at the, 1664 session for a gift of 1000acres of land which could be added to the 200 pounds to satisfy thehard trading owner. The petition was granted and transaction completedon this new basis. The land is now a part of the town of Whately,Massachusetts.
"On January 14, 1667 Lieutenant Samuel Smith, together with Rev. JohnRussell and Aaron Cooke, was chosen at Town meeting to serve as atrustee of a fund offered by Mr. John Davenport of New Haven and Mr.William Goodwin of Hadley, acting as trustees under the will of thelate Mr. Edward Hopkins, for the establishment of a grammar school inHadley. (The Hopkins fund was divided between Hadley, Mass., Hartfordand New Haven, Conn. and Harvard University.) Samuel Smith was alsochosen with others, to serve on a committee to select the land thatwould be used by the school. His son Chileab was made a trustee of thegrammar school in 1686 following the death of Philip who succeeded hisfather as a trustee in 1681. "Lieutenant Samuel Smith was an originalmembers from 1669 to his death, of the "Hadley School Committee for 50years" which in effect was a life tenure assignment and, thereforegiven only to those who were the most trusted and highly respected inthe town. He served continuously on this board until his death in 1680when his place was taken by his son Philip. Philip's brother Chileabwas added to the Committee in 1687 and in 1720 the Committee consistedof four citizens, one of whom was Sergeant Joseph Smith and another,deacon John Smith, sons of John and Philip respectively. "Anotherevidence of the respect and trust in which Lieutenant Samuel Smith washeld by his fellow townsmen was the license they gave him in 1671 tosell wines and strong liquors, a right that was sparingly given by theSelectmen and approved just as sparingly by the Court in those days.In 1677 he was empowered to solemnize marriages, a right he had hadsince 1661 but only to be exercised in the absence of Wllliam Westwoodwho was first given that authority. "In May 1667 Samuel Smith, Rev.John Russell and Peter Tilton, acting in behalf of Hadley, appearedbefore the General Court in opposition to the petition of the citizensof Hatfield to separate from Hadley. They succeeded for about twoyears to hold up the withdrawal but on Dec. 22, 1669 Lieut. Samuel wasone of the signers of the agreement that authorized the separation andbrought an end to the controversy. About the same time, Feb. 19, 1669,he signed a citizen's petition to the Governor and General Court ofMassachusetts, opposing the decree that levied imposts and customs onmerchandise, cattle, horses and grain entering Hadley. The next yearsMay 3, 1670, with Rev. John Russell and Henry Clark he signed apetition "in behalf of the freemen of Hadley ", praying the GeneralCourt to make inquiry as to the reason for "God's displeasure" uponthem One evidence or this displeasure, it seems, was the breaking awayof dissenting members of the First Church of Boston to form Old SouthChurch, an event that stirred remote sections of the MassachusettsColony. The memorial referred to "the Lord's displeasure" andrequested that "there be some public and solemn inquiry what it isthat has provoke dthe Lord against us". (See History of Northampton byTru,bull pp 215-216, Vol. I). The same source, page 572, lists SamuelSmith as one of those who contributed to Harvard College, 3 lbs. Offlax values at 0-.03-00 "from that line above and now all set downunder our 3 lb. and half more is pck into the great barrell". Thisuntranslatable gift seems small but it was about the average given bythe 89 givers whose total gifts were valued at 29-17-0. "LieutenantSamuel Smith and his sons Philip and Chileab were well-to-do for theirtime. They were engaged in pursuits outside their regular professionsindicating that they had capital. In 1678 Lieut. Samuel and Philip hadout on loans to John Pynchon, the most prominent man in Springfield,50 and 25 pounds respectively, at interest. These amounts appear smalltoday but in that early period they were considerable sums
"A review of the Records or the Colony of Massachusetts Bay, Vol. IV,Part II and Vol. V, shows a number of instances where the GeneralCourt placed responsibilities upon Lieut. Smith and reposed confidencein him. He was at times assigned duties of dealing with the Indians,hearing their complaints and investigating their requests. The OctoberCourt of 1667 chose him as one of a committee of three to treat withthe Indians about, "setting of a chief or head over them and byadvising with them thereabouts to learn whom they account or desire tobe their chief that the English may have their recourse to forsatisfaction for injuries from them ... and in the case of the Indiansnot agreeing ... that the next General Court may appoint or declaresome meet man to be their chief or sachem". "Another court record,1663, tells of a committee of six members, including Samuel Smith,being appointed to lay our a fares of 250 acres at Paucomptucke. Thiswas the beginning of Deerfield, Massachusetts. "In 1678 LieutenantSmith requested, since he was "nearing 80 years of age" to be"relieved from military trust". His request was granted and his sonPhilip made Ensign immediately, and later in the same year raised toLieutenant. Samuel's death two years later, (the inventory of hisestate was taken January 17, 1781), indicates, perhaps, that he wasjustified in seeking some repose after so extended and active a careerin the wilderness of a new world. The regret is that so little isknown about his wife Elizabeth who remained at his side through all ofthese hard years, bearing and rearing his children and enduring thehardships of those pioneer times with him. Not one word is writtenabout her trials and activities that this writer has seen. She diedMarch 16, 1686 at the age of 84 leaving a family, the descendents ofwhom in the next three hundred years, were to swarm over the landproducing worthy citizens and many distinguished ones, all Christianand God fearing.
"The children of Lieutenant Samuel Smith and his wife Elizabeth werefour sons and two daughters. Four of these children were born inEngland and two in Wethersfield, Connecticut.

Took Freeman's Oath at Braintree,MA in 13 MAY 1640 ("List of Freeman of Mass" by Lucius R Page pg 18).Removed to Connecticut & later Hatfield Location of death according toJudy Stubbs in Prodigy note to Norma Baker Sept 1993According toHistory of Whately by JH Temple he was a deacon, lieutenant of cavalry
WILLIAM ALLIS [0] was born between 1613 and 1616, probably inDagenham, Essex County, or London, England, and came to this countrywith Winthrop's fleet in 1630. The fleet consisted of eleven vessels:Arabella, Talbot, Ambrose, Jewel, Charles, Mayflower (third voyage),William and Francis, Hopewell, Whale, Success, and Trial.
In the Winthrop colonists, consisting of 700 immigrants, threedistinct communities were represented: (1) those from Dorset andDevon, the Dorchester men, who first settled in Boston a number ofyears before it received that name; (2) those from Lincolnshire,properly called Boston men, who had decided upon the name of Bostonfor the new settlement before they left England; and (3) those formLondon and Essex.
William Allis [0] came with the last named company and was no doubtone of the 39 men on the Mayflower (third voyage). They first touchedat Salem, but landed at Charlton Harbor, Boston (then calledTrimountain), 1 July 1630.
The Mayflower brought what was called the Braintree Company, whichincluded with William Allis [0], Thomas Graves and Thomas Meekins, allof whom played an important part in the first generation of ourfamily. Our ancestor was associated with Graves from the start, alwayslived at the same place, and the families eventually intermarried.They were both surveyors and laid out the town, or fort, ofCharlestown, the first regular settlement of the Massachusetts BayColony.
The first trace of William Allis [0] after landing was in MountWollaston (afterward Braintree) in 1632. That town, comprising 50square miles, was surveyed and laid out by him before 1634, and duringthat year, by order of the General Court, it was annexed to Boston.Large tracts of land were granted to certain inhabitants to settle inMount Wollaston and William Allis [0] received 12 acres on 24 February1640. On 13 May 1640, the inhabitants of Mount Wollaston wereincorporated as the town of Braintree and, with Dorchester, Dunham,Hingham, Natasket, and Roxbury, were incorporated to form the city ofBoston.
On that date William Allis [0] was made a freeman. Only those who weremembers of the church were allowed to take the Freeman's Oath, whichgave them the right to vote and hold office. Several historians haveapparently been misled by the records of the Massachusetts Bay Colonyinto stating that the first knowledge of William Allis [0] was on 13May 1640. The reason for the error was that the official records ofBraintree were first instituted on that day. He was made a freemanthen because Braintree was incorporated into the city of Boston.

One of the first residents of Hatfield, Hampshire, MA, he ran a gristmill on the Mill River as early as 1662 and later added a sawmill.(Hatfield Hist. Commission) From a real estate listing of theproperty: The history of the Old Mill building in Hatfield, mostrecently the office space for The Valley Advocate newspaper, is rich,dating back to the time of the town's settlement. In 1661, when thefirst pioneers traveled up the Connecticut River from Springfield andtowns further south, one of their main concerns was how they wouldgrind their grain. These citizens turned over to Thomas Meekins, oneof their own, all rights to a lot on the Mill River, formerly known asthe Capawank River. With an adjacent waterfall created by natural redsandstone formations, this mill had power, and it became the center ofindustry and commerce in the town for the next three centuries. Eightyears after Thomas Meekins built the gristmill he built a sawmill onthe north side of the waterfall. These mills took on great importancein the region after other area mills were destroyed in Indian attacks,beginning in 1675. To protect their investments, settlers garrisonedthe Meekins' mills.

"Thomas Makins, my sister's son" is mentioned in the will of ThomasBell of Roxbury, made 29 Jan 1671 in London. (NEHGR 38:63)

On Oct 16, 1660, he was part of a group of residents at Braintree whowere granted an 8 acre plantation outside of town. This became thetown of Mendon, but Thomas was not noted in later documentation ofsettlement. (NEHGR 21:380)

He settled in Longmeadow, MA. The library in Longmeadow has a great
resource of all the Cooleys descendeds,from Benjamin and Sarah. In the
Longmeadow, MA there is a Cooley Street and markers on the historical
homes, many of which were Cooleys. It's amazing that many of thefamilies
had 6 or more children. Benjamin was active in the town's governmentand
lived a long life with his wife Sarah.

Meaning of Surname
Origin of the COOLEY Surname: Irish, English

Meaning of the Cooley Surname: ..."son of the servant of St.Mochuille";
descendant of little Cole, a pet form of Nicholas (Peoples Victory).

The following version of the meaning of the surname was received from
Karen Ann Cooley:
Through researching my Cooley origins in Australia I have found that
Cooley is of Irish origin. The meaning is probably "cow meadow" or"cow
pasture". One of the origins of surnames was where a person lived. In
Northern England and in Scotland a cow is often called a "coo" in the
local dialect. Another surname origin was a person's appearance. An
alternative derivation may be from Colley meaning "coaly, dark skinnedor
dark haired". Cooley is an Ulster variant of Colley.

Few dividends slipped away from Benjamin Cooley,
except as he made exchanges for property more useful and
convenient to him. In 1647 he was taxed for 40 1/2 acres,
while the inventory of his estate in 1684 included 527 acres
exclusive of the "land that Obadiah Cooley occupieth." This
latter tract, at Main and York streets in Springfield,
comprised perhaps ten acres, giving as a total, 537 acres
acquired during Benjamin Cooley's forty years as an
inhabitant of Springfield.

1674 or thereabout I was offered in treaty about it which at last cameto
a conclusion to be as abovementioned the payment also for the land as
above expressed passing through my hands to the indians which theygladly
accepted and did willingly own the sale to me after this deed was they
comeing particulary one at a tyme to me to subscribe it when I toldthem
they must came altogether the want of which was the onely obstructionfor
they often severally acknowledged the sale and the writing to be
according to their minde and meaning also testifying their readinessto
come all together and subscribe which as they promised no doubt they
would have done but that the indian wars happening in the year 1675they
with other indians we drove away before which time they made the

ARRIVED IN AMERICA IN 1635 ON THE SHIP SUSAN AND ELLEN
Thomas Welles married Mary Beardsley, daughter of William Beardsleyand Mary Harvey (Hervey). He was among the first settlers of Hadley,Mass.
In the History of Wethersfield by Stiles, the death of Thomas Welleswas sometime between the 30th of September and the 14th of December.In Judd's History of Hadley he says that Thomas was a teamster for thesoldiers on page 141, and was killed serving the militia on the 18thof September and before the 30th of December which leads one tobelieve that he may have been injured and not killed,
but died of his injuries. Thomas Welles, eldest son of Thomas andFrances (Albright) Welles, was born in England about 1629, died inHadley, Massachusetts in 1659, as one of the "engagers to settle thetown". He left a goodly estate in Connecticut and houses and lands inEngland" (Sheldon).
He married in May 1650, Mary, daughter of William Beardsley, ofHartford, Connecticut.
She bore him fourteen children, who are the progenitors of nearly allthe numerous Welles name.
This large family of Thomas Welles forms an interesting element inMrs. Mary P. Welles Smith's "Young Puritan" series of juvenial books.She herself was a descendant of Noah Welles, one of the fourteenchildren. The children were Thomas, Mary, Sarah, John, Jonathan, John,Samuel, Mary, Noah, Hannah, Ebenezer, Daniel, Ephraim and Joshua.
Thomas Welles died September, 1675 after being wounded during thebattle of Muddy Brook. He was a soldier in King Phillip's War.
Thomas Welles served as "townsman" of Hadley in 1663. He died in 1676,leaving a good estate in Wethersfield and Hadley, and house and landsin England. Of his 14 children, the eldest, Thomas, moved toDeerfield, where he was a prominent man. Another son was Jonathan,famous for his bravery and suffering during and after the fight atTurner's Falls. He too, later became a leading citizen of Deerfield.Noah, the ninth child of Thomas, was born in Hadley. He lived atvarious places; was of Hatfield in 1693, Deerfield in 1694, NewLondon, CT in 1697 and probably later at Lyme, CT as an old deed inthe family dated 1705 deeds to Noah Welles of Lyme, CT in the countyof New London sixty acres of land in Colchester. This probably alsofixes the date of his settlement in Colchester.

The old Welles farm at Shelburne, MA has been in the family 126 years.There are many old family papers preserved, going back to 1703, whichare of interest as throwing side lights on early colonial customs.Even the old deeds are fascinating, because they give us our onlyglimpses into the past of our far away ancestors, and show how the oldColchester farm was acquired. At this time the original grants werenot wholly divided among the settlers and part of Lieutenant NoahWelles' farm was derived from grants of this undivided land, part byexchange of land he owned in Lyme and part by purchase. The earliestpaper is one giving early division of the Colchester lands. Forinstance, John Adams Jr. his first division of upland was laid out byJohn Skinner, Town Measurer, the 20th of June, 1703; lying east of theLong Meadow; bounded by a white oak tree marked that has no doubt longsince disappeared; thirty acres in all, sold later to Noah Welles,April 25, 1707; Laid by John Skinner for Noah Welles in right of theMores 50 acres of land which is in Lieu of home Lott meadow and FirstDivision. Another says, at the same time; laid out for EbenezerColeman, 50 acres lying on the Southerly Side of Noah Welles, hisfirst division, bounded northerly on Noah Welles his land. This tractwas afterwards, bought by our ancestor, 12/14/1709, the town measurerlaid out for Noah Welles, 90 and 3 acres of land and half which wasWilliam Shipman's second division lying on the east side of the roadto New London. Later, 6 acres and a half are laid out to Noah Welles,which is the remainder of his 100 acres which he had of Shipman, andthere is record of purchase of 25 acres of Jonathan Kilborn. Thismakes 255 acres, a large farm; but families were so large in thosedays, that there was none too much when the property came to bedivided among the numerous heirs.

Daniel White was born abt 1640 in Hartford and moved with his familyto Hadley in 1662 where he was made freeman in 1690. He married 1 Nov1661 in Hartford Sarah daughter of John Crow who also moved to Hadleyas one of the original settlers. He died in Hadley 27 Jul 1713; Sarah26 Jun 1719 at the age of 72.

Daniel was his wife's first cousin, once removed.

He was probably born in Hartford, Conn., as early as 1639. He settledin Hatfield, Mass., about the year 1662 as appears from the followingentries on the town record of Hadley, 'Jan. 21, 1660; 61. This dayDaniel White had a hundred pound lot given him beyond the river, andhis father john White Ingages for him.' Dec. 12, 1661, there was arenewal of the grant to Daniel White 'provided he be resident on hisallotments in March next.' His homelot was on the west side ofHatfield Street, the fourth lot south of the Mill Lane, or roadleading westerly. Other lands were allotted to him, and the records ofHatfield show that he was a farmer. He was frequently called into thesrvice of the town. Before the division of Hadley he was chosen aconstable in 1666, and one of the selectmen in 1670. The town ofHatfield was incorporated in 1670, but the records of the townofficers previous to 1677 are mostly lost. During the twenty yearsafter 1678, Daniel White was eight times chosen one of the selectmenof Hatfield. He occasionally held other offices, and was oftenappointed on committees for attending to various town affairs whichcalled for the exercise of discretion and sound judgment. He was alsoactive in the ecclesiastical affairs of the town. The title ofLieutenant is first given him on the records in Dec. 1692.

he died July 27, 1713, being probably not far from 75 years of age. byhis will dated July 11, 1713, he gave £4,to the church in Hatfield,and constituted his only surving son, Daniel, his executor. Previousto his death he had given a part of his land to his son, Daniel, andto his daughter, Hannah; but he left a large estate for those times.the inventory amounted to £363, not including the homestead and someother property, which was appraised in 1719, after the death of hiswidow, at nearly £300.

Michael was born in England and came to this country in 1640. He wasprobably born about 1608 as we find in a deposition before the courtof Middlesex County, made in 1668, that he certified that he was aboutsixty years of age. Dec. 18, 1640, we find his name on the Town Ordersfor the propsoed town of Woburn, of which he was one of the originalinhabitants. In 1644 he was chosen surveyor of highways. In 1653 he,with William Simms, bought two hundred acres of land in that part ofCambridge which is now Bedford, "bounded by Capt. Cookes farmesoutheast and the Common round elcewhere with all the meadow adjoyningto the grat Swamp near the East corner of Concord boundes that fals inCambridge boundes." Before 1675 he is said to have erected a saw andgrist mill on the Shawsheen River. This mill was burned by the Indiansat the time of King Philip's war. A military guard was detailed forhis protection, and the mill was rebuilt. He served as selectman in1659-1665, 1666, 1668 and 1670. In 1675 he was a citizen of Billerica.In August of that year, when the town was providing for defenseagainst the Indians, he and his family were assigned to garrison 10under command of Timothy Brooks. From the Woburn records we learn thathis first wife was named Mary and she died Aug. 26, 1655. He marriedsecond, Oct. 26, 1655, Mary Richardson, widow of Thomas Richardson.She died May 19, 1670. He married third, Nov. 28, 1670, Mary Noyes,widow of Thomas Noyes of Sudbury and daughter of Walter and ElizaHaines. He died July 4, 1668.

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

The first mention of Thomas is dated 21 February 1635/6, when Mary,the wife of Thomas Richardson united with the church in Charlestown.Samuel and Thomas joined the same church the 18th of the 12th month.As a result they were admitted freeman of the colony 2 May 1638. Theirnames are found on the records of Charlestown for the first time in1637, when to each of them the town granted a houseplot, clearlyindicating that they had recently become citizens of the place. Thesame year, for the first time their names are found on the records ascitizens of Charlestown.
Thomas Richardson must have married Mary shortly before they came toAmerica, in that no children were born in England. The first entry inthe Colony regarding Them was in Feb 1635-6 when Mary was united withthe church in Charleston. Samuel and Thomas Richardson joined saidchurch the 18th of the 12th month [February], 1637-8; in consequencewhereof they were admitted freemen of the colony, 2 Mar 1638. Theirnames are found on the records of Charlestown for the first time in1637, when to each of them the town granted a house plot, clearlyindicating that they had recently become citizens of the place. Thesame year, their names are for the first time found on the records ascitizens of Charlestown. They doubtless came from England together.
The three brothers had lots assigned them, 20 April 1638, on 'MistickeSide and above the Ponds,' that is, in Malden. The share they had inthe settlement of Woburn, and the organization of the church in thattown, has been sufficiently related in the notices already given ofEzekiel and Samuel Richardson.
Samuel and Thomas were on a committee to lay out lots (of land) forhayfields 1 July 1636.
On Nov. 5th, 1640 Ezekiel, Thomas, and Samuel Richardson along withEdward Convers, Edward Johnson, John Mousall and Thomas Graves werechosen by the Church of Charlestown as commissioners or agents for thesettlement of a church and town within the limits of Charlestown. Soonafter the start of the project the Town of Woburn was founded by thesemen. On August. 14th 1642 and a new church started. These men werecalled the "Seven Pillars" taken from Prov. Chapter 9, Verse 1. Theyheld many offices within the community, and the church, from itsbeginnings until their deaths. They were looked to by the communityfor leadership and direction both political and spiritual.

There are few older names in history than that of Richardson. The nameexists in Durham, Yorkshire, in the counties of Salop, Warwick,Worcester, Norfolk, Gloucester, Nottingham, Sussex and Surrey.
There are Richardsons also in Wales, Scotland, and Ireland. InEngland, as in America, the name is continued in many branches. FromBurke's, "Landed Gentry of Great Britain and Ireland", there is ampleaccount of the family history. The family is doubtless of Normanorigin, and its descendants attained eminence in many directions. Armswere granted to several branches of the family in 1561, and at laterdates. Richard Richardson, Esquire, of Bradford, in Yorkshire,afterward of Biesly, in that county, paid a fine of forty pounds in1630 for declining the honor of knighthood from Charles I. All of theRichardson families mentioned in Burke's, "Landed Gentry" had armorialbearings, crests and mottoes, and were land holders. Many of thembecame prominent in literary, civil, military and ecclesiasticalpursuits.
Henry Richardson's first American ancestor was Samuel Richardson, whowas born in England in 1610, and came to America in 1636, settling inWoburn, where his elder brother, Ezekiel, had preceded him. Thomas, ayounger brother, also settled in Woburn.
The Richardsons became noted men among the other freemen of Woburn,and held positions of trust in the community. Henry Richard'sancestors in this country were Samuel (1), Stephen (2),William (3),Stephen (4), Stephen (5), and Moses (6).
Moses Richardson married (first) in Attleboro, Hannah Pond, ofMansfield, daughter of Stephen Pond of that town. To them were bornthree children, who died young. Moses Richardson married (second)Eliza Andrews, daughter of Benjamin and Elizabeth (Gladding) Andrews.Her father was a son of Zephaniah Andrews, colonel in theRevolutionary Army, and her mother was a daughter of NathanielGladding, of Providence. Mrs. Richardson was a descendant of theIngraham and Gladding families who claim the site of the city ofLeeds, bequeathed to them from their English ancestor, Lord JosephWilson. The children of Major Moses and Eliza (Andrews) Richardsonwere: Hon. Thomas Andrews Richardson; Charles; George; Sophia Field,married Abel Foster; Henry; Albert; Major James Lippitt Richardson;Oscar; Frank; and Elizabeth Andrews. Three of the sons and fourgrandsons served in the Civil War. The seven were in line at the firstbattle of Bull Run, Virginia, July, 1861. After the battle there weresix of the line who met. Samuel Foster, Mrs. Abel Foster's son, wasmissing; and his fate was never known. [Research of Beth Hurd,RIGENWEB]

Richard Way, Sr had a granddaughter living when he made his will in1697, that said he did not think any of his own children were living.I wonder why he did this? I have long suspected his 4th wife Hannah,who has been described as a warm widow, having inherited from 3previous husbands, as having a hand in the drafting of Richard, Sr'swill. "Me think the gentleman doth protest too much." M E W)

Richard Way of Massachusetts

Richard Way, son of Henry, "The Puritan," and brother of Aaron Way,St, baptized at Bridport, County Dorset, England, 1624, is mentionedin many property transactions in and around Boston° There is one inwhich a mortgage is given, December 9, 1690,.to the Treasurer ofHarvard College, in the second year of the reign of William and Mary,king and queen over England.
Thomas Mayhew, who at one time owned both Martha's Vineyard andNantucket Island, gave a piece of land on Nantucket, which he hadreserved for himself, to his daughter, Bethiah (Mayhew) Harlock, newwife of Richard Way of Boston° A deed for this gift was drawn upFebruary 20, 1677, by Thomas Mayhew, because the original papers hadbeen burned about five years before in a fire in Boston° (NantucketTown Records) Thomas Mayhew had sold Nantucket Island to Thomas Macyand his eight partners, July 2, 1659, for the sum of thirty pounds andtwo beaver hats, one for himself and one for his wife, but he reservedwhichever of the necks he should choose for himself. Governor Mayhewhad secured this favorite "Neck of Land" from his Indian friends,Nickanoose and Nanahome, Sachems of Nantucket, by deed, "Twentyeth ofJune, 1659."

Richard Way, in his will probated October 28, 1697, Suffolk County,Massachusetts, stated, and for as much as I have no reason to believeany of my own children are surviving I do by these presence will andbequeath unto my now loving wife Hannah Way... Thus, by thisinstrument, Richard Way removes himself as a likely ancestor.

On 14 Jan 1656 Thomas Busbie received a patent of 400 acres in SurryCo. on the head of upper Chipoakes Creek, joining Mosely, Barker, andJohn Barrow, due for the transportation of 8 persons, including "Tho.Busby" ( N.M. Nugent, Cavaliers and Pioneers... I:335, from Pat. Bk.4m p.49). He sold this tract to Peter Gray on 6 June 1660 (Surry1:162, witnessed by Francis Gray, Anthony Allen). Then on 10 May 1667Capt. Thomas Busby received a patent of 1170 acres on Chipakes Creekin Surry and Charles City Counties, 520 acres of which had beenassigned from Thomas Mudget (Nugent II:17). Thomas apparently soldmost of the Surry part of this land in deeds from 1671 to 1681. Thelast of these sales was made on 20 Dec. 1681 by Tho. Busby Sr. andwife Susannah to Edward Greene (Surry 2:301, witnessed by RobertWyatt, Beng. Harrison).

Surry records of this period identify two of Thomas' children: On July1671 Thomas assigned a bill of tobacco to his daughter Grace Busby,and if she died to his nephew Francis, son of Anthony Allen (1:389).On 5 May 1674 Lt. Tho. Busby registered cattle marks for himself anddaughter Janis Busby (2:56).

In Charles City Co. Thomas had another grant of 194 acres on UpperChipoakes Creek on 16 Apr 1669, due for several transportation headrights, including a Robt. Busby (Nugent II:69). Robert is mentioned inCharles City Co. Orders of 1664-5. Thomas Sr. was apparently living inPrince George Co. (recently created from Charles City) at the time ofthe 1704 Quit Rent Roll, which lists Capt. Tho. Busby for 300 acresand Tho. Busby for 200 acres.

it appears that John Barker and Thomas Busby were among the rebels whotook possession of Bacon Castle, (Arthur Allen home) during BaconRebellion. John Barker was ordered to pay Arthur Allen damages inconnection with the destruction done to Arthur Allen’s brick houseduring the rebellion. Ben Harrison was the arbitrator in thesettlement and his decision perhaps resulted in the foreclosure onMartin Brandon plantation owned by John Barker I
Bacon Castle derives its name from Nathaniel Bacon, who in 1676 led arebellion against the rule of Col. Governor William Berkley. Bacon’sforces burned Jamestown in Sept 1676 and set up a strong hold in SurryCounty. They took over Arthur Allen house and occupied it for fourmonths.
Allen a supporter of the colonial governor later sued the men who hadoccupied the house for the damages incurred.

(Surry p 83 bk 2 by Boddie) Barker and Busby were fined along with 27others for not attending church services of the established Church ofEngland.

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

In early genealogies, she is shown as the daughter of Col. FrancisMorrison, due most likely because she is shown as having marrid Col.Henry Soane at his home. But this was at a time when Francis Morrisonwas Governor of Virginia and Henry Soane was Speaker of the House ofBurgeesses, so it doesn't seem out of place. Nonetheless, as Boddiepoints out, Henry Soane may have been a distant relative of Morrison.

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

from "Genealogies of Connecticut Families," John was one of the earlysettlers of Guilford, but not a signer of the original plantationconvenant. He shared in the first division of homelots and lands. Hishomelot of 1 1/2 acres was on the east side of Fair Street. Inaddition, he owned a parcel of upland containing 36 1/4 acres, besidesthe Alderswamp, nea the present Alderbrook cemetery. "Goodman Stevens"was fined for neglect of fencingl on October 9, 1645. He was a planterin 1650, but before 1656 seems to have united with the church, as heis recorded as a freeman in the latter year. His will, made on August27, 1670, leaves to his son, Thomas "the mare I usually rede on and mybiggest brass kettle," "my best sute and my cloake and my bed and onepayre of sheets and all my other bedding." To his son William he gave"all my houseing and my homelot and my meadow at the East River her inGuilford, he paying out of it 10 pence to my daughter Mary Collins andsonne John Stephens in old England to be paid here in currant pay inNew England.
the inventory of the estate showed 32 pounds of property atKillingworth, and 93 pounds at Guilford. He signed with his mark, andseems to have been one of the less conspicuous settlers. With hissons, he supported Dr. Rossiter in the troubles attending the union ofNew Haven and Connecticut.

From "John Steevens of Guilford, Connecticut" as quoted by MargeKientz :

Page 1 - JOHN STEEVENS OF GUILFORD, CONNECTICUT
The first settlers of Guilford, Connecticut set sail from England inthe "Saint John" on 20 May 1639 and arrived in New Haven between 10and 15 July 1639. They were under the leadership of Rev. HenryWhitfield, and most of them came from County Kent. When on the highseas they drew up a covenant and referred to themselves as "planters."A second ship arrived in New Haven later in July 1639, and one of itspassengers was John Steevens, whose descendants are the subject ofthis book. A reconstructed list of the persons on each ship may befound in Edward E. Atwater, "History of the Colony of New Haven,"Meriden 1902.
John Steevens undoubtedly went directly to Guilford with the others,although there is no mention of his name for the first few years. Itis said that he was appointed a judge by 1645, and for this he musthave acquired some degree of prestige. Numerous early items may befound in the early records of Guilford, now very hard to decipher, andin Bernard C. Steiner, "History of the Plantation of Menunkatuck,"Baltimore 1897. The Town Mill of Guilford was a tide mill, completedin the latter part of 1645, and "Goodman Stevens" was one of the threemen appointed to build the dam.
Steinder also reports a court case tried in Sept. 1645, when JacobSheaffe brought suit against John Steevens for breach of contract.Steevens had agreed to build 30 rods of fence for Sheaffe's East Creeklot by the first of the preceding May. His failure to do so hadallowed some hogs to roam and damage corn belonging to another man, asa result of which Sheaffe had already been fined. In this case JohnSteevens acknowledge both the agreement and the fact that the fencehad not been built. He claimed that the hogs were disorderly, and thatthe magistrate had assigned him to ten and a half days of work aboutthe mill.

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

Edward was a successful merchant and active in town affairs, Edwardleft the largest estate in Plymouth up to that time. He was apurchaser of nine shares out of thirty in the group that bought thearea that became Tiverton, RI. Edward is listed on the Grand Deed withthe other partners.

The name Gray is of local origin, or, it follows the name of a placein Bergundy, France. In the Department of Haute-Saone, there is now atown called Gray. The name was originally Croy. A Norman chief, whosename was Rolf, Rollo or Raoul (son of Rognwald, Jarl of Mori inNorway) invaded France in the 9th century with his Norwegian followersand established himself there. A descendant or member of the samefamily became Chamberlain to Robert, Duke of Normandy. He receivedfrom Robert the Castle and honor of Croy. From this his family assumedthe name of DeCroy, which was later changed to DeGray and then toGray.

Gray instead of Grey is almost universally used in the differentbranches in the United States. In England and Ireland Grey is stillused, in Scotland it is Gray. This is detail between differentbranches of the same family all apparently descended from one parentstock and one origin.

The family of Gray or Grey, says Burke in his peerages, claims descentfrom Rollo (born 860 A.D.). John, Lord of Gray, whose son Anschetil deGray was one of William the Conquerors companions in arms at thebattle of Hastings, and was recorded in the Domesday Book (a recordcompiled by a royal commission set up by William in 1085-86), as lordof many manors and lordships in the counties of Oxford and Buckingham.Anschetil de Gray had two sons, both named John. The elder John deGray had a son, Henry de Gray, who was in high favor with King RichardI and King John.

Henry de Gray had several sons; (I) Robert of Rotherfield, (II)Richard de Gray, (III) John from whom the most illustrious branches ofthe house of Gray have sprung, (IV) William de Grey and (V) Henry deGrey. Descendants of John included John Lord Grey of Groby who marriedElizabeth Wydville, afterward queen of Edward IV; Thomas Grey, createdMarquis of Dorset in 1476; and Lady Jane Grey who was queen of Englandfor a few days.

The Grays were in Wales by 1283 when King Edward created new MarcherLordships. In that year he gave Rhuthun to Reginald de Grey. In 1402Owain, a Welch leader, was having a dispute with another Reginald deGrey, and captured Reginald. Owain received 10,000 marks (L6,666)ransom for him. Not an insignificant sum!!

A Marcher Lordship passed from an Owain to son-in-law John Charleton.From the Charleton family it passed by marriage in 1421 to John Grey.It remained in the hands of the Grey family until the Marcher Lordswere abolished in 1536. By 1509 an Edward Grey was one of only threeremaining powerful Marcher Lords.

Among the names inscribed at Battle Abbey, after the Battle ofHastings, as being worthy to be remembered for valiant servicesrendered, was J. de Gray. According to Nesbits Heraldry: "In an oldmanuscript of Arms in the Reign of William the Conqueror, are theAmoreal bearings of Paganus de Gray, equitum signifer to KingWilliam". Also, it says, "Gray, Earl of Kent, Chief of the ancient andillustrious house of Gray, so dignified in the reign of Edward IV.,from whom are descended and branched the Barons of Rotherfield,Codmore, Wilton, Rhuthun, Groby and Rugemont, the Viscount of Lisle,the Earl of Stamford, the Marquis of Dorset, and the Duke of Suffolk,all of that surname derived from the honor and Castle of Gray, (orCroy as some write), in Picardy, their patrimony before the Conquest."

Regarding the Grays of Scotland being of the same family, Nesbitssays, "Gray Lord Gray in Scotland, same arms as My Lord Gray of Warkand Chillingham, England, Motto, Anchor Fast Anchor. The first of thisline was a son of Gray in Chillingham, Northumberland, England, whocame to Scotland in the reign of Alexander II, (about 1130), and gavehis allegiance to that King, receiving possessions in Roufield shireof Roxburgh. His issue has continued in Scotland." His son, Sir AndrewGray, joined King Robert Bruce when he ascended the throne. The Graysin Ireland, usually described as Scotch-Irish, are doubtless thedescendants of that branch of the family.

The Grays were closely allied with the Royal house of England and werenear the throne. Edward IV married Elizabeth Gray, the widow of SirJohn Gray who was slain at the second battle of St. Albans, 1461. Onthe death of King Edward, her son the young Prince Consort, and herson Lord Gray, were both executed in 1483, by the notorious RichardIII.

Burkes Peerage says: "The family of Gray is of great antiquity inNorthumberland. Henry de Gray obtained from King Richard I (1190), themanor of Turoc in Essex. Sir John Gray, Knight of Berwick, 1372, wasfather of Sir Thomas of Berwick and Chillingham. Sir Edward de Graymarried daughter and heiress of Henry heir apparent of William."

The union of the Grays with the royal line of Tudor was by themarriage of the duke of Suffolk, with Mary, daughter of Henry VII andthe sister of Henry VIII. Mary was the widow of King Louis XII ofFrance, who had died January 1, 1515. The tragic fate of theirdaughter, Lady Jane Gray, who reigned briefly as an unwilling Queen,has attracted the attention and enlisted the sympathies of the world.The story of her pure and beautiful life and of her heroic death willlong illuminate the pages of one of the most eventful periods ofEnglish history. Her execution, 1554, was soon followed by that of herfather, the Duke of Suffolk, and his brothers, Lord John and LordThomas Gray.

The Grays were not restored to their rights and court favor until theaccession of James I, 1603. Since then they have repeatedlydistinguished themselves in politics, literature, and the learnedprofessions and still continue prominently represented among thetitled nobility in England, Scotland and Ireland. In modern times theyhave contributed poets, statesmen and military commanders in theBritish realm.

A.P. Clarke in the "Clarkes Genealogies" quotes from the The ParishRegisters of Stapleford Tawney, Essex Co., England, as printed at theprivate press of Frederick Arthur Crisp, Grove Park, Denmark Hill,London, S.E., 1892, states that John Gray of that place had thefollowing children: Richard, baptized August 1608, buried October 9,1613. Joshua, baptized November 25, 1610, buried January 20, 1621.John, baptized 1612. Sarah, baptized January 12, 1616, married ThomasHarding May 30, 1642. Rebecca, baptized 1615, married Thomas Perry May28, 1650. Joan, buried February 12, 1621. Edward, baptized April 15,1623 (no further mention). Thomas, baptized July 16, 1620 (no furthermention). It is to be presumed that John Gray was not native toStapleford Tawney, but was only a resident of that parish for someyears.

A John Gray was buried May 28, 1658. This could have been either thefather or the son. John Gray was married before going to Stapleford,and in Harrow-on-the-Hill church records there is a John Gray baptizedFebruary 2, 1589 and married on October 6, 1606 to Elizabeth Ward.These dates would correspond with John of Stapleford, as his eldestchild was born in 1608.

It appears that the Gray family was from Harwich, Essex, as a John andThomas Gray were living there in 1579. Six of the names in the JohnGray family of Stapleford were similar to the names in Edward Graysfamily. They were John, Elizabeth, Edward, Sarah, Thomas and Rebecca.

It is believed that John Gray of Stapleford Tawney descended from theDorset branch of the Gray family. The Dorset Grays are of greatantiquity, and were for many generations in high favor with theEnglish kings. Members of this family were for centuries seated inWestminster and in other sections in and about London.

Edward Gray, son of John of Stapleford, the progenitor of this branchof the family was in Plymouth in 1643. Family legend says that he andbrother Thomas were sent to America by relatives who were scheming forthe property that Edward and Thomas were to inherit. Edward was aleading citizen and merchant in Plymouth. When he died in June, 1681,he left the largest estate up to that time in Plymouth. His holdingsincluded nine thirtieths of the land company which eventually formedTiverton and Little Compton, RI. as described in what is called theGrand Deed. Thomas died in Plymouth June 7, 1654.

Edward, son of Edward of Plymouth, went on to be a founder ofTiverton, Rhode Island. This Edward was a farmer and active in civicaffairs. Edward of Tiverton had a son William whose son Robert was thediscoverer of the Columbia river in Washington state. Robert also hada commission issued by George Washington as a privateer during theRevolutionary War.

David Gray of Tiverton was captured by the British during the war andtaken to England where he was imprisioned. He escaped and, bytraveling at night, was able to get to the coast and over to Francewhere he got money from Benjamin Franklin for passage home.

Another Tiverton Gray, Pardon Gray was active during the war also. Hewas too old to go to war, but he used his extensive farm and fortuneto support the effort with food, money and work in recruiting andorganization. Pardon was a grandson of Edward of Tiverton add veryactive in town government as town clerk and in other capacities.

Samuel Gray, son of Edward of Tiverton, moved to Boston and could beconsidered the first casualty of the Revolutionary War. He was thesecond man shot, but the first to die at the Boston Massacre on March5, 1770. If John Tebbel is correct in his book "Turning The WorldUpside Down", Sam helped precipitate the Massacre itself. It seemsthat a British soldier came to the rope makers shop where Sam workedand asked for a job. Sam told him what kind of work he could do "inlanguage that can't be repeated in mixed company." The soldier tookoffense and went at Sam but found "himself bruished and bloody on theground." The soldier left and came back later with some help, but Samsfriends came to his aid and the brawl that developed ended in a draw.This altercation was one of a series of incidents that brought aboutthe Boston Massacre later that day. Sam is supposed to be buried atthe old Granery Burying Ground near Park Street Congregational Church,Boston.

Many Grays of this line were sailors, ship owners, ship captains andworldwide traders. There were farmers, fishermen and tradesmen. Theyeventually left Tiverton to settle all across the country. They servedtheir country in time of war and helped build it in peacetime. Thereare those like Captain Robert and Pardon who left a record for all tosee. There are a few like William, son of Ellery, who were obscure,possibly intentionally leaving no trace to follow. Most leave theusual trail. Birth, marriage and death records. Census records everyten years and an occasional mention in a town report or directory areabout all there is.

The Gray family in America is numerous, widespread and consists ofmany diverse branches. They were among the Pilgrims of New England,the Quakers of Pennsylvania and the early settlers of Virginia andother southern states. Within the first century, between 1620 and1720, research indicates that there were at least twenty differentfamilies of Grays, or different branches of the same family, which hademigrated to this country and made their homes in the New World. Asearly as 1622, two brothers, Thomas and John Gray, had becomeproprietors of the island of Nantasket in Boston Harbor by purchasefrom the Indians. At an early period there were also Grays at Salem,Boston, Plymouth and Yarmouth and in the provinces of Connecticut andMaine. Abraham Gray is mentioned as among the Pilgrim refugees atLeyden, Holland, in 1622. There were apparently no Grays on theMayflower

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

The first mention that I can find of William, who appears to have beenthe immigrant of our Wellman family, is on the 1649 list of GloucesterMA proprietors. According to a petition filed by his widow he was aman of the sea. Babson's Gloucestor History says that William was theson-in-law of "Major Sadler" and that, though not a "grantee of land"was a landowner in Gloucester including a lot on the harbor and one in"Fisherman's field". Babson also says that William was "one of thecompany that went to New London, where he received a grant of land in1651."

New London was founded in 1648. That William was there is unresearchedas yet, however I do know that he was one of the proprietors ofKillingworth CT (now Clinton, originally Hammonassett) which wassettled in Oct 1663. He received land there in the original allotment,where his homelot was bounded on the north by Geo Chatfiled, on thewest, across the road by Matthew Allen and John Rossiter and on thesouth by Henry Farnham. The Spencer information in the Hartford CoHistory says that he married Elizabeth and was "of Gloucester, NewLondon and Killingworth"

He came to Windsor with his father and brother-in-law, Humphrey PINNEYin 1637. He was a defendant in a lawsuit there in 1645 and served onthe Grand Jury 16 July 1660 as well as deputy to the General Court in1659, 1660 and 1662. He was a member of the church in Windsor where,on 18 July 1659 he is recorded as having paid 6 shillings for a seatin the Meeting House; he sold this seat on 7 Mar 1664 after his moveto Killingworth.

He moved to Killingworth in 1663 as a proprietor of the new plantationwhich was originally called Hammonascett. As a prelude to theestablishment of the new community, the General Court in March 1663issued the following grant:

Avery and Lnt Smith a committee to view the landsat Homonoscitt and, if they judg be not fitt for a plantation, andwill not be very prejudiciall to Say Brook, then they are to lay itout to Mr. Math: Allyn, Cap't Tallcott, John Allyn and Mr. Willis andaccording to the grant of the court, but if it be prejudicial to SayBrook they are to lay out what they judge right to the town of SayBrook and the rest to Mr. Matthew Allyn, Cap't Talcott, Mr. Willys,Mr. Joseph Haynes or Mr. Daniell Clerk."
On 3 Jun 1663 the surveying committee reported that the area would bea "comfortable plantation" for thirty families to "subsistcomfortably". Accordingly, the General Court, in Oct 1663 issued anorder for the settlement of the area that was to become Killingworth.The order required that at least 30 families be settled in theplantation by 1665 and that they stay for at least 4 years. Theoriginal planters were Bryan Rossiter, Josiah HULL, sen'r, John Clow,sen'r*, Jonas Westover, William Huydon, Simon Mills*, John Clow jur.*,Josiah Gibberd*, Edward Griswold, William Kelsey, Josiah Ellsworth*,William Barber, John Meigs, senr John Stedman*, Samuel Buell, MatthewBerquett*, John Skinner*, William Wellman, Robert Howard*, RichardWarkley.

Note: "In 1556, soon after the revocation of' the Edict of Nantes,David Robert and his son Pierre, a Huguenot preacher, the record ofwhose ordination is still in the old Hugenot church at Basle,Switzerland, came over as exiles for religion's sake, and settled atSantee, South Carolina. Soon after his arrival Pierre Robert becamethe first pastor of the Huguenot church of that place and served inthis capacity until his death. The church has since died out, but inthe old Huguenot church at Charleston is still found a tablet bearingthe following inscription:

PASTEUR PIERRE ROBERT
French Santee So. Ca
1656 1715"

Note: The Rev. Pierre Robert was baptized 30 Dec 1655. He graduated atSt Etienne as a physican; attended the University of Basil, 1674; andordained on 19 Feb. 1682. He was a pastor of a Waldensian church inthe Piedmont Valley in Switzerland. It is claimed that the Waldenseswere the ancestors of the present day Baptists.
He immigrated to South Carolinia in 1686 and served as the firstminister of the Huguenot ( later the Anglican, now Episcopal ) churchat St. James Parish, SC, continuing his ministry until prior to 1 Jan.1710. He was the first Huguenot minister in America. He was the firstrector of St. James Anglican Church, although it is unclear whether hewas ordained as such since there was no Anglican Bishop in America atthe time.
Source: Narrative by William G. Wray 1997
Records in Basle, Switerland, verifies his ordination.
"Ce Dimanche, 19, Fevrier, 1682, le St. Pierre Robert de St. Imie arecul' imposition des mains."

Pierre Robert arrived in South Carolinis in 1686 with Captain PhilipGendron and settled in St. James Parish, on the Santee. He was thefirst French minister to preach in Carolinia and served until hisdeath.

The first Hguenot church built in Charleston is still standing in agood state of preservation at this day (1946) even though it is morethan two centuries old. On one of its inner walls may be seen a tabletplaced there by some of the descendants of Pierre Robert with thisinscription (Pasteur Pierre Robert - French Santee, So. Carolinia -1656 - 1715." )

The 1693 Warrant was for Lot 160 of the Grand Model and is currentlylisted as 106 Broad Street, Charleston, SC. We know that for a periodJames De Bordeaux operated his blacksmith shop at that location andmost likely lived there. The first mention of a house in a deed dated1715, in which William Livingston and his wife, Ann, conveyed toWilliam Harvey, Jr, a butcher, the corner lot with the messuage ofTenemt's thereon standing." The deed indicated that the tenement hadbeen standing for some time, had been rented to David Balantine beforehe died . . Harvey sold the property, describe as having a LargeDwelling thereon erected, to Charles and Elizabeth Hill in 1828. TheHill's daughter Elizabeth married Samuel Quincey. Elizabeth left theproperty to John and Sarah Lining on March 5, 1757. Since then thehouse has been know as the "John Lining House" and is noted as havingbeen constructed about 1695. All or some part of the present houselocated on the lot may have been original. References: Steedman,Houses of History and Rogers, Charleston in the Ages.

James de Bordeaux was one of the residents of Orange Quarter. Henry A.M. Smith, "The Orange Quarter and the First French Settlers in SouthCarolina." SCHGM, 1917 vol. 18:101-123. He is listed among those whohad land in the Orange Quarter on p. 114. .

Information from "THE BORDEAUX FAMILY HISTORY" relates that the DeBourdeaux family was originally from a small village near the Rhonevalley in southeastern France called Bordeaux and not the largeseaport city of the same name. The family later moved to the largercity of Grenoble, which was formerly called Dauphin.
Jacques was a blacksmith in Grenoble, France. He continued in thattrade after moving to Charles Town, Carolina. In Charles Town (laterknown as Charleston, SC), Jacques owned land next to Peter Lamb andthis was probably the start of all the Bordeaux/Lamb marriages.
In a letter to Mr. Richard J DuBourdieu of Illinois from Betty Frank(Juhan) Coy, USMC, retired (of Washington, DC) - (letter dated 10March 1969), she wrote: " The first Huguenot family of the name ofDuBourdeaux arrived in Charles Town, Jacques DuBourdeaux (1), whoarrived in Carolina in 1677 or 1679 with his family consisting of hiswife Madelaine Garrilond and their three daughters, Margeurite,Madelaine, and Judith."
From: "The Huguenot Church of Charleston, SC" by Marguerite CouturierSteedman (c) 1970. "On April 30, 1680, the ship, Richmond, fromLondon, dropped anchor off Oyster Point, in the new Province ofCarolina. On this southern tip of the peninsula between the Ashley andCooper Rivers, there were few houses as yet, for the first settlementat Albemarle Point, west of the Ashley, had just been moved to thisnew site."
"The Richmond brought orders from King Charles II that the settlementbe re-named Charles Town. It also brought forty-five Huguenots -French
Protestant refugees from France's continuing religious persecutions.They had fled to Protestant England, where they had waited long monthsfor
transportation to a land where they might work and worship in peaceand freedom. King Charles had subsidized the voyage with 2,000 pounds,so that these people, "skilled in ye manufacture of silkes, oyles,wines, &c," might establish on British territory these crops andindustries that had long been French monopolies."

"The emigrants' silk worms aboard the Richmond had hatched prematurelyand died for want of food. But silk culture was only one Huguenotskill. The group included grape-growers, expert farmers, wine-makers,weavers, brick-makers, business men and at least one goldsmith. Thoughthe
Richmond's passenger list is lost, early land grants establish theidentity of most of the new-comers."

Louis de Mouzon came to South Carolina with his two brothers before1702. At this time, he changed his name to Lewis Mouzon. One brotherdid not get off the ship and when to New Orleans. He did not use anyderivation of the name of Mouzon, and have no trace of him. Louis'other brother got off the ship in Charleston and took the name EdwardMouson (or Mousson). Edward married but had no children. Lewis Mouzonis the forefather of the Mouzon family in South Carolina. The Mouzonname was listed amoung the prominent families of Goose Creek about1702. Records show that Lewis was the only Mouzon in South Carolinaprior to 1712, and that all Mouzons after that time were hisdescendants.

Lewis was a planter in Berkeley County, SC; and between 1705 and 1708he recieved land grants of 1,195 acres. Lewis returned to Franceseveral times after he came to South Carolina. He married and had allthree of his children with his wife Elizabeth, while in France. Lewiseventually moved his family to South Carolina, but his sons returnedto France for their schooling.

Note: South Carolina Historical and Genealogical Magazine, January1922, No 1, Vol. XXIII, 'Grimball of Edisto Island'

"Paul G[rimball] was the first and only one of that name to come tothe shores of South Carolina...or anywhere else in America as far asis known. He was a wealthy English merchant and married his wife Maryin England...what part of England is not known.

"In 1663, King Charles II gave a large grant of land to some of hisfriends...the Lords Proprietors, 8 in number. On April 10, 1681, LordShaftsbury gave a grant of 3,000 acres of land to Mr. Paul Grimball,Merchant, bound for Ashley River to settle there. "

"Paul Grimball reached Charleston in Feb. 1682 [Possibly February1682/83; but he did not settle on the Ashley River. Instead, he wentto Edisto Island. He lived in the Colony for 14 years before his deathand held nearly every governmental position except governor. He musthave been an officer in the colonial militia also. In the summer of1686, the Spanish raided Edisto Island. They came with three galleys,a hundred white men and a force of Negroes and Indians. They sackedthe homes of Governor Morton and Mr. Grimball, the Secretary of theProvince, who were at Charles Town. They carried off money, plates,and 13 slaves and murdered the brother -in- law of the governor."

The Honorable Paul Grimball arrived in Carolina on December 01, 1682.He was a "merchant, gentleman, esquire"; owned the ketch "Tryall"; andserved as Secretary to Governor Joseph Morton.

One of these early settlers, Paul Grimball, established his residenceon Edisto Island in 1686. This site is known as the earliest tabby(construction material) house in South Carolina (date of constructionfrom National Register Nomination). It is interesting that not onlyare the foundations remaining, but so is a section of wall at onecorner.
