Roger Bassett was born in England about 1598, but the identities ofhis parents have yet to be determined. Roger and Ann Holland weremarried at St. Martin's Church in Dorking, Surrey Co. on 27 Apr. 1623.They apparently had only one child (son William) who was baptized atSt. Martin's Church on 30 May 1624. By all accounts, Roger died about1627 in Dorking, although this is still unproven. Following the earlydeath of her husband, Ann married Hugh Burt sometime after 3 Oct. 1628(the burial day of Hugh's first wife Ursellah). Hugh and Ann Burt cameto America in 1637 on the ship "Abigail" along with William Bassett,Hugh Burt, Jr. and Edward Burt. They settled first in theMassachusetts Bay Colony, but soon afterward moved to Lynn, MA whereHugh Burt, Sr. was one of the original inhabitants given 10 acres ofland in 1638. Hugh and Ann were living in Lynn on 2 Nov. 1661 whenHugh Burt, Sr. died. In 1669, a complaint was made against Widow Burtfor witchcraft in Salem Court. She was accused by several townspeople,but apparently no action was taken against her. Accounts of theseevents are discussed more thoroughly in the notes for William Bassett.Ann Burt's will was dated 8 June 1664 and she died on 7 Mar. 1673. Itis likely that she died in Salem, MA, since this is where the will wasfiled and proved.

From "History of Surry Co., England", the following notes have beentaken:

(1) (Vol. II) School account for the years 1655-56 shows that WiliamBassett (the writing master) was paid 18 pounds at Horsleydown.

(2) (Vol. III - at Dorking) In 1262, Hawisia, widow of John deGatesden, the name of a Clare tenant, sued Robert Bassett for a thirdpart of a mill & 40 acres of land as her dower in Hamsted and Dorking

Ann Holland married for her second husband Hugh Burt, and accompaniedhim on the voyage to New England in 1635 on the ship "Abigail",bringing with them her son William Bassett age 9 and other children.Was she really a Burrell? Called Francis Burrell her brother. He hadwife Ann also. Francis Burrell could have been her brother-in-law(brother of her sister but seems not likely if his wife was named Annalso. Perhaps husband of her huband Hugh Burt's sister?)
The feat and hysteria of witchcraft, which gripped New England andculminated in the infamous witch trials at Salem in 1692, had been asinister undercurrent for many years. In 1669 a complaint againstWidow Burt for witchcraft was made in Salem Court. It is not certainwhether this was Widow Ann Burt, mother of William Bassett, or SarahBurt, widow of Hugh Jr. The younger Hugh would have been 49 at thistime, had he lived, and his wife possibly younger. The terms "awldwich" and "old goody Burt" might have been applied more aptly to Ann.At any rate, the ridiculous charges offer an interesting sidelight onthe life and superstitions of the time. The following appeared in theQuarterly Court records of Salem, November 20, 1669 (IV:207)
"Bethiah Carter, aged 23 years, dwposed that she heard Sarah Townsansay 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 her body andsoul, but Goodwife Burt said she could not cure her own husbandbecause
he would not believe in her God, but her maid did and was cured. Sincethen the said Sarah had been sorely afflicted with sad fits "Cryingout
and Rayling against me saying My father carryed me to Boston butCarryed her too Lin too and awld wich." Sara told her further that shehad seen
the said Burt appear often at her bed's feet in the day and night."
"Phillip Reade, Physician, aged about 45 Years, deposed that he bingsent for three several times to see Sara townsan and her sisterCarter, buth
being very ill, "Sd Sarah townsend being in a more sadder Condiccionhe had noe oppertunyty to Examine her Condiccion but did playnlypercieve
there was no Naturall caus for such unnaturall fits but being sent forthe 4th time and finding her in a meat Capassity to Give informationof her agruanc and Caus of her former fits she tould me the abovesdBurt had afflict her wors one hower after she had a sadder fit thanany ever she had afore: then I askt her whoe afflict her Now and whatthe matter was she Replide with a great scrich she had tould mealready and that she did Now Suffer for it."
"John Knight aged about 47 years deposed that he "was goinge to fetchsome things for his wife and he saw old goody burt coming out of aswamp
and shee was in her smok sleeves and a blake hancacher and black capon her head and hee looked upp and suddenly shee was gone out of sightand I looked aboute and chould not see her, when I came into the houseI found her in the same habit as I saw her and he said unto her did Inot see you

"Jacob Knight, aged about 24 or 25 years, deposed that "I boarded inthe house of Mr. Cobit with my brother wornwood: in which house widdowBurt

[ruth robbins.FTW]

Hugh Burt, Sr. was born in England about 1591 and possibly at St.Clement, Eastcheap, London, according to "English Emigrants to NewEngland, 1620-1650". The identities of his parents have yet to bedetermined. He is known to have had a brother John who died in Londonbefore Hugh, Sr.'s will was written on 7 Oct. 1661. According to thebirth date of their oldest known child Hugh, Jr., Hugh, Sr. andUrsellah were married about 1619. They likely lived for some period oftime in Dorking since their sons were baptized at St. Martin's Churchin that town and wife Ursellah died and was buried there on 3 Oct.1628.

Hugh Burt, Sr. then married Ann (Holland) Bassett, the widow of RogerBassett, about 1628 or 1629 in Dorking. It is believed that they hadno children. However, Ann had one son (William Bassett) by herprevious marriage who was also baptized at St. Martin's Church inDorking. Hugh Burt, Sr., his wife Ann, William Bassett and Edward Burtregistered as passengers on the ship "Abigail" on 17 June 1635 andHugh Burt, Jr. registered on the same ship on 1 July 1635. This familyfirst settled in the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Soon afterward,however, they moved to Lynn, MA where Hugh Burt was given 60 acres ofland in 1638 and his name appears often in the earliest records ofthat town. In 1644, Hugh Burt and Samuel Bennett were "presented by yegrand Jury for common sleepers in time of service" and fined twoshillings sixpence each.

From "The Pioneers of Massachusetts", by Charles Henry Pope (1900),the following information (and much of the other information for thisfamily) is taken: In 1646, Hugh Burt, Sr. gave a letter of attorney toreceive of Susan, widow of Thomas Burt (relationship not given) ofDorking, Co. Surrey, cordwinder, 20 pounds as per his will withannuities for two years, with legacies to Hugh, Jr. and Thomas Burt.The son Hugh, Jr. died in 1650 appointing his father as overseer.

On 26 Mar. 1661, Hugh Burt, Sr. testified in court held at Ipswich, MAthat he was "aged 70 or thereabouts and had lived in Lynn about 25years". His will was dated 7 Oct. 1661 and he died in Salem on 2 Nov.1661. In his will he mentions "2 accors of Salt marsh in the Lastdevision in Rummy marsh which I bought of Timothye Cooper" which heleft to William Bassett. He also left William Bassett "and his heiresfor ever five accors of upland lyeing amongst Henrye Collins landwhich I bought of Robt. Mansfield which is yet undevided". Also in thewill, "I acquitt my sonn Edward Burtt of all monyes that hee receivedof mine in England of all debts whatever & alsoe I give unto my sonnEdward Burtt all my right & interest in any houseing or Land in Londonthat came to mee by my brother John Burtt deceased".

Hugh Burt's widow Ann is assumed to have been one of the first to beaccused of witchcraft in Salem Court in 1669 and records of thesecourt proceedings have been preserved (see notes under WilliamBassett). She was referred to as an "auld wich" and "old goody burt"in testimony of seven residents of Salem who accused her of a varietyof sinister activities. The Quarterly Court Records of Salem give noindication that any action was taken against Widow Burt as a result ofthese ridiculous charges. Ann Burt's will was dated 8 June 1664 andshe died on 7 Mar. 1673. It is likely that she died in Salem sincethat is where her will was filed

General Notes: Col. Charles M. Hansen in his article "John and Margaret (Halsnode)Denne of Salem County, New Jersey - With Her Descent from the FeudalBaron, Gilbert Peche", The American Genealogist, Vol. 68: 193- 204(Oct. 1993), noted that while Dr. Arthur Adams identified the fatherof the John Denne who married Margaret Halsnode as this James Denne,another reseacher, A.R. Justice, identified John Denn's father asThomas Denne of Canterbury. Thomas Denn belonged to a gentry familyand left a will dated 1653 naming three sons, the third of whom was aJohn Denn. Col. Hansen has observed in correspondence to me that sinceThomas Denn's two oldest sons were Oxford graduates, and one, VincentDenn, was a member of Parliment, it is unlikely that a son of ThomasDenn would be a turner and marry the daughter of a tailor (as our JohnDenn was and did). Furthermore, this James Denn's father, John Denn ofEstry, was described as a yeoman in his 1623 will, which is morecompatible with the social level of the John Denn who married MargaretHalsnode.

The names of the children of James Denn are from the baptism andburial records of Ripple Parish, Co. Kent, England.

This James Denn may be the "James the son of John Den late of Dover"who was buried 25 Dec 1638 according to the records of Ripple Parish,Co. Kent, England.

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

Lived in Cabridge, MA in 1636. In 1647 he moved to Hampton and becamea large land owner.
a Legislator and Farmer the son of Ralph Shaw was born on thetwenty-sixth day of August 1584, at London, England, and baptized onthe first day of September. He married Ann her maiden name is notknown, when is not known, at London. She was born in 1610, in Londonand died on the twenty-eighth day of January 1661, at Hampton, NewHampshire.

Roger was first mentioned in history as appearing at General Court (Aterm applied to the legislative body of the Massachusetts Colony) fromCambridge, Massachusetts, in 1636. He bought two hundred acres of landand built his house on the south side of Arrow street, before agreeingto take the Oath of Freeman or Citizenship. Freeman in the early daysof the colonies, held the right of franchise. No one was allowed thatright without first becoming a member of the Church. The laws weremade by a quorum of the "Assistants" or "Magistrates", sent out andcommissioned by the "Company" in London, England, which held thecharter. The law compelling church membership was passed by the"Assistants" in 1631. In 1676, five-sixths of the people of Bostonwere non-voters because they were not church members, and were thusshut out from any participation in the local government. It wascustomary however, for

immigrants of the better class, those who went to church, to attendthe General Court in person, for the purpose of buying grants of landand getting permission to settle in the town they had selected fortheir future residence. In 1639, he was drawn juryman. He knew that hewas guaranteed a trial by jury only if he in return agreed to be ajuror. He knew that trials by the people, were to be favored over atrial by the government, because they guard against oppression, abuse,and/or misuse of government power by officials. The following year waselected by the freeman to be their Town Clerk, at Cambridge. He wasalso elected to be their Selectman for the same town for the years1641, 1642, 1643 and 1645.

Roger was found competent by the General Court to be installedVintner, a person who sells wine, and Keeper of the Ordinary or InnKeeper, at Hampton, New Hampshire, where he finally settled. Thiswould seem to imply that he had some previous knowledge of thebusiness. In 1650 he was empowered by General Court to sell wine orany sort of strong liquor to Christians and the Indians, as in hisjudgment shall seem necessary, on just and urgent occasions, and nototherwise.

The settlement of Winnacunnet, now Hampton, was authorized by GeneralCourt in 1638, and incorporated in 1639, Roger was one of thepetitioners. In 1640, he bought of John Crosse land in the new town,the fifteenth day of November 1647, he obtained a grant of lands fromCharles II (then king of Great Britain) which, included with hisformer purchase, constituted a large estate. In 1648, he moved toHampton, selling his real estate in Cambridge, consisting of a houseand two hundred acres of land, and settled on his first purchase.

Roger understanding that all power residing originally in, and beingderived from the people, and that all the magistrates and officers ofgovernment, are their substitutes and agents, and at all timesaccountable to them, seems to have been a man of prominence among theearly settlers, for from 1651 to 1653 he served as Representative toGeneral Court or General Assembly. He was elected by the freeman to betheir Selectman in 1649 and 1654. He later filled many other importantoffices. The controversy arising from the occupancy of lands on theNew Hampshire borders by authority of Massachusetts, was, in 1651,carried into General Court, and added much to the responsibilities ofRepresentatives for that year, requiring unusual wisdom and ability.He was also the same year appointed "Commissioner for trying smallcases." On the twenty-six day of September 1658, the town of Hamptonappointed him first, to a Committee of three, together with the TownClerk, to examine all grants and appointments of land, highways andsuch like, and to record the same in the new Town Book. On the ninthday of February 1659, the same committee was appointed to lay out andrecord convenient highways to men's land in the town and to allowsatisfaction to the proprietors for the same according to theirdiscretion.

Roger at the seating of the new meeting house in Hampton about 1650 ora little later, we find men's seats at the table to be occupied byRoger Shaw, Christopher Huss, John Moulton, Phillemon Dolton, RobertPage, William Easton, William Fuller, Robert Tuck. Woman's seats atthe table to be occupied by the wife of Roger Shaw, the wife of JohnMoulton, Misses Marston, Misses Tuck, Misses Dolton, Misses Page,Misses Fuller. About 1657, the town choose a committee consisting ofRoger Shaw, Robert Page and Thomas Marston to attend to the businessof accommodating the minister, Reverend Seaborn Cotton, both withhousing and land, his dwelling to be repaired at the town's expense.

Roger died on the twenty-ninth day of May 1661, at Hampton.

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

Captain William MARSTON, a Quaker, was one of the original founders ofHampton. His birth place was Ormesby in County
Norfolk, England, where many of the other early Hampton settlers wereborn.

Patriarch of the New Hampshire Marstons, William was a Quaker. Laterwhen the Puritan majority of Hampton outlawed
other religions, he was persecuted again for his religious beliefs.Puritans later became known as First Congregationalists.
MARSTONs are one of nine families recognized by Hampton in 1925 asoriginal 1638 settlers who helped to found the town
that year. The other 8 include their leader, Stephen BACHILER, and thefamilies of GODFREY, MOULTON, PHILBRICK,
PALMER, HUSSEY, SANBORN, and TUCK. The DRAKEs moved into town in 1651.Thirty-eight family stones have been
placed around the 3 sides of Founders' Park bordered by Landing Road,Park Avenue and Cuss Lane in Hampton. The
MARSTON and DRAKE stones stand together on the Landing Road side ofthe park..

William Marston was presumably born at Ormesby St. Margaret about theyear 1590. With many of his family and neighbors he emigrated to NewEngland in the early 1630's and settled in Salem, Ma. sometime in 1636or 1637 together with his son
Thomas. Each shared in the land grants offered to the new settleers.William Marston's family numbered five with Thomas at that timeunmarried.
From Salem the Marston family are believed to have moved first toNewbury and then in 1638, with a group of neighbors from Ormesby, theywent farther east to a place known as Winnecunnet, later incorporatedas Hampton, and established a
villiage settlement.
In 1648 William Marston, referred to in evidence as "old Marston" suedRobert Lord for trespass on Hampton property. What the true issue wasis not recorded. He appears to have sympathized with the Quaker faith,and in 1657 he was
fined for possessing two books and a paper which taught the Quakerdoctrine. Whether his dispute with Mr. Lord had any connection withhis Quaker activities is not known. In 1663 he was fined for absentinghimself from the orthodox services on
many successive Sundays.
He was a kind hearted, benevolent and godly man. Member of the Quaker,or Friends, church and suffered persecutions for his religiousbeliefs.
He often harbored and aided his distressed and persecuted brethren,and was fined exhorbitant fees by zealous and bigoted courts. Adocument shows he was fined for "keeping a paper and two books whichinculcated Quaker doctrines.

From Stearns' Genealogical and Family History of the State of NewHampshire, p. 430-432: "He came to Salem, Massachusetts, in 1634, withhis family and probably his brothers Robert and John. He received agrant in 1636 from the general court and removed to Newbury the nextyear. He was one of the fifty-four proprietors of Hampton in thisstate in 1638, and passed the remainder of his life in that town. "

William was convicted by a Court for being supportive to Quakers, asect much maligned, under a law enacted in 1656. From Dow, p. 56:
The preamble to this law is in these words:
"Whereas there is a cursed sect of haereticks lately risen vp in theworld, wch are commonly called Quakers, who take vppon them to beimediately sent of God and infallibly asisted by the spirit to speak &write blasphemouth opinions, despising gouernment & the order of Godin church & comonwealth, speaking evill of dignitjes, reproaching andretjling magistrates and ministers, seeking to turn the people fromthe faith & gaine proseljtes to theire pernicious waies, this Court,taking into serious consideration, &c."
A prosecution was brought against William Marston, Sen., of this town,at the County Court held here, and he was fined £15 "for keeping twoQuaker books and a paper of the Quakers."
He afterward sent a petition to the General Court, praying for theremission of his fine, and, as the record states, "leaving himself atye Court's mercy," acknowledging he hath transgrest ye law of yeCountrie." The court remitted one-third of the fine, on condition thatthe other two-thirds should be paid forthwith.
Other extreme measures followed successively the order of 1656, ascutting off the ears, boring the tongue with a hot iron and banishmenton pain of death. As time went on, and still the supposed heresyspread, the maddened government devised new tortures. In December,1662, the following order was issued by Capt. Richard Waldron, ofDover, and was wholly in accord with the law of the land:
"To the Constables of Dover, Hampton, Salisbury, Neubury, Rowley,Ipswich, Windham, Linn, Boston, Roxbury, Dedham, and until thesevagabond Quakers are out of this jurisdiction: You and every of youare required in the King's Majesty's name to take these vagabondQuakers, Anna Colman, Mary Tompkins and Alice Ambrose, and make themfast to the cart's tail, and drawing the the cart through your severaltowns, to whip them upon their naked backs not exceeding ten stripesapiece on each of them in each town, and so convey them from Constableto Constable till they are out of this jurisdiction, as you willanswer it at your peril, and this shall be your warrant."
[The three women were subject to this punishment in Dover, Hampton andSalisbury, but were saved from further punishement by being helped outof the province by Walter Barefoot.]

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

(c1604-1679) a Farmer the oldest of five children of Robert andMargaret Page was born about 1604, at Ormsby, England. He marriedLucia Ward on the eighth day of October 1629, at South Walshan,England.

Robert and Lucia came from Ormsby, with William Moulton to Salem,Massachusetts in 1637. In 1639 they moved to Hampton, New Hampshire.In 1642, he agreed to take the Oath of Freeman or Citizenship. He wasone of the most active, energetic and influential men of the town andwas a member of its board of Selectmen and re-elected in the years1647, 1652, 1655, 1667 and 1670.

In Hampton for the first twenty years the houses were built of logs,sawed lumber was used only to a very limited extent. What was cutcould be cut with a whip-saw, though not without much labor. The firstsawmill in the town was undertaken by Robert. The town granted himprivilege to set up his mill at a convenient place on Taylor's river,and for his encouragement, they gave him a clump of pines on the Northside of Mister Dalton's farm, and also allowed him to take timber fromthe commons, to saw, at his mill, for his own benefit. He, inconsideration of the favor granted, gave the town a bond, in the sumof one hundred pounds, that he or his assigns would build the mill,and has it in readiness for sawing lumber "by Michaelmas cometwelvemonth" (the twenty-ninth day of September 1658). He also agreedthat he would then furnish boards for three shillings per hundred, asfast as he could, taking in payment any

Merchantable articles at the current price. It was provided, however,that no man should receive more than one thousand feet at a time,until every man, in need, was successively taken care of. Thisarrangement was confirmed by vote, at a town meeting, held on thetwenty-sixth day of February 1657, and accepted by him. Not longafter, the town by vote, extended the time for the completion of themill, one year, on condition that the contractor would give up WilliamMarston, the carpenter he had employed, so that the town might havehis services in fitting up a house for the Reverend Timothy Dalton, hehaving sold his homestead to the church and town, for a parsonage.

Robert was elected by the freeman to be their Marshal of the oldCounty of Norfolk in which Hampton was then include. In 1659,seventy-six persons were taxed, his taxes were the highest andamounted to one-twentieth of the whole sum. In the seating of themembers of the church the front seat was considered the most honorableplace and this seat was occupied by him, as he was Deacon in 1660 anduntil his death, and from the death of his colleague in 1671 he wasthe only Deacon of the church and was succeeded by his son Francis.

Notwithstanding the many offices which he filled, and the multiplicityof business which he performed, he was unable to write his name andalways made use of a mark for a signature, it is believed that themark was made with the left hand.

Robert died on the twenty-second day of September 1679, at Hampton.His will, was dated the ninth day of September, and probated on theeleventh day of November 1679.

a Housewife the daughter of Francis and Susannah (Browne) Ward, sisterof Thomas Ward was born about 1604, at Ormsby, England. She marriedRobert Page on the eighth day of October 1629, at South Walshan,England.

One of Lucy and Robert's favorite drinks was cider. The apples werefirst crushed. Once the apples had been crushed to a pulp, the juicewas extracted using a cheese press. They wrapped the pulp in cloths tomake cheeses and then stacked in the press. Their press had two sidescrews which supported a heavy block of wood. When the screws wereturned by means of a long pole the block of wood was forced down onthe stacked cheeses. This pressure squeezed out the juice, which wascollected in a vat below.

Lucy then poured the juice into casks, and left there to ferment. Shewould add sugar or syrup because she could not cope with the extremedryness of pure rough cider, called scrumpy by aficionados. Whenfermentation was in progress the cider is said to be hungry. Theywould take some of the cider outside in the winter and allow the ciderto freeze. The water would turn to ice before the alcohol. By cuttinga hole in the ice the alcohol could be poured out leaving an extremelypotent brew.

GEORGE ALLEN came in Rev. Joseph Hull's Company, sailing fromWeymouth, Eng., on or near 20 Mar 1634-35. In the shipping list thefamily is described as follows: "George Allin, aged 54 yeare(b 1580),Katherin Allyn his Wife aged 30 yeare( b1604), George Allyn his sonneaged 16 yeare(b 1619), William Allyn his sonne aged 8 yeare(b1627) andMathew Allyn his sonne aged 6 yeare(b1629)." He had land granted tohim at King Oak Hill in the North parish, and also at the "Westerneck." He removed to Sandwich. He was born near 1580 and died atSandwich, where he was buried 2 May, 1648.
From A Genealogical Dictionary of New Jersey-compiled by CharlesCarroll Gardiner
The undated will of "Georg Allen the elder, late of Sandwidge"Witnessed by the Rec William Leveridge, was proved before the NewPlymouth Court June 7, 1649, and leaves 12 pence to each of hischildren, five shillings and a calf to son Matthw, a meadow lot boughtof Peter Gaunt to son William, the house and its contents to his wife,while a widow, and thereafter to be divided among "my five leastchildren". All other land was left to sons Henery and Samuell. Thewife and the five "least" were to have "my adventure in the barkque".At probate Ralph Allen and William Newland testified that the testatornamed his wife Katheren sole executrix, with Ralph Allen and RichardBourne as overseers. The inventory, taken Sept. 22, 1648, totalled44:I6:0, of which more than one half represents the value of cattle.Many carpenter's tools are mentioned and the share "in Plymouthbarque" is appraised at 3 pounds, with the notation "Receved of this1pd:7sá" (Ply.Col.Wills and Inv., Boston, 1:84).
An exact list of his children is impossible to supply. Bowden'sHistory of the Society of Friends in America (I850), in describing thestart of Quakerism in Sandwich in 1657, states that Ralph Allen andsix brothers and sisters were among the first "convinced" and that"the father of the family, who had been an Anabaptist, and had alsoentertained a conscientious scruple against judicial swearing" haddied before Friends visited that vicinity.
George Allen, the immigrant ancestor of many of the Allen familiesfound in America today, arrived in Massachusetts Bay Colony fromEngland on 6 May 1635. His name, along with the names of those he camewith (106 in all), was found on a list of passengers who departedWeymouth, England for America on 20 March 1635. Unfortunately, thename of the ship they traveled aboard has never been determined. Thisparty, which was under the leadership of the Rev. Joseph Hull, wasgranted leave to settle at Wessaguscus Plantation on 8 July 1635 bythe General Court at Boston. Wessaguscus was soon given municipalrights, at which time it was renamed Weymouth, and its inhabitantswere allowed representation in the General Court at Boston.

George Allen is believed to have been born in either Somersetshire, orDorsetshire, England. Lending support for this belief is the fact thatthe Rev. Hull and many of the other families that emigrated withGeorge were from one of these shires. Although George Allen is knownto have married twice while still residing in England, the name of hisfirst wife has not been determined. His second wife, however, was awoman named Katherine. Katherine accompanied George to America, and isbelieved to have been the mother of at least five of his children.According to the list of passengers making up the Hull party,Katherine was thirty years old in 1635, thereby indicating that shehad probably been born in about 1605 in England.

(Note: Although one commonly sees postings and family write-ups thatindicate that our George Allen is the George Allen who married as hissecond wife, Katherine Slarkes, on 5 November 1624 in AllHallowsChurch, Honey Lane, London, I know of absolutely nodocumentation that would support that this is the same George. On thecontrary, there is fairly strong evidence that indicates that thisGeorge was still in London, England as late as 1640, when he ismentioned in his brother, Henry's, will. In addition, it has also beenaccepted by some that our George Allen was the son of John Allen ofSaltford in Somersetshire, England. As with the above assertion, thereis absolutely no evidence that I know of to substantiate this. Thereis,however, strong evidence that indicates that this George was stillresiding at Saltford in 1638, when he was involved in a court caseregarding tenements in the Tything of Saltford. By 1638, our GeorgeAllen was already well established at Sandwich on Cape Cod. Aside fromthe fact that a person named George Allen was identified in bothcases, any connection to our George Allen appears to be moreconjecture than reality.)

Although no records have been found to verify it, shortly aftersettling at Wessaguscus (Weymouth), George and his family may havemoved to the village of Saugus, Massachusetts (nowLynn,Massachusetts). In 1637/38, however, George and his family againmoved, this time to the newly organized settlement in New PlymouthColony of Sandwich on Cape Cod. George, who was a farmer by trade, wasrecommended for "freeman" status in New Plymouth Colony on 5March1638/39, and was later admitted as such on 3 September 1639.George was subsequently sworn in as the Constable of Sandwich on 4June 1639,and served as Surveyor of Highways in 1640. He also servedas a Committeeman for the New Plymouth Court in 1640, 1641, 1642, and1644.

George apparently died during the last part of April 1648 at Sandwich,New Plymouth Colony, as he was subsequently buried there on 2 May1648.His will was probated before the New Plymouth Court on 7 June1648. Oneyear later, on 8 June 1648, Katherine furnished an inventory ofGeorge's estate to the New Plymouth Court. Sometime after Georgepassed away, his widow, Katherine, married for a second time to a mannamed John Collins, who was a shoemaker in Boston.

Although the identities of all of George's children have never beendetermined beyond doubt, the names of eight children have beenverified through various documents. In addition to these eight, it ishighly probable that three other individuals, namely John, Robert, andFrancis Allen, are also sons of George. Aside from those children thatare known and very probable, some researchers also believe that theJoan Allen who married Clement Briggs at Dorchester in 1630/31,and theJoshua Allen who married Mary Crowell at Yarmouth in 1671, are alsoGeorge's children.

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

Dr Daniel Wills of Northamptonshire, England, the progenitor of theWills family, came to Burlington, NJ in the ship KENT, in 1677, andwas among the first settlers at Burlington. He was one of the LondonCommissioners. He located his claim of 600 acres on the "RancocasRiver", and named the township after the place he lived in England.
Dr Daniel Wills early embraced the religious tenants as set forth byGeorge Fox, and was several times imprisoned in Northampton gaol forholding meetings in his house according to the established order ofFriends.
He appears to have been a man corresponding to the title he bore, andwas probably as well read up in his profession and as well qualifiedto practice the healing art, as any of his contemporaries. His outfit,still in possession of some of his descendants, comprising surgicalinstruments, a large work on Materia Medica, called "Herbal" (remediesgreatly in vogue in his day), and his medicine chest, indicate that hewas prepared for any emergency that might arise.

Dr Daniel Wills was a direct descendant of Alfred the Great. and wasone of the most influential men in the early history of BurlingtonCounty. He was a signer of the "Concessions and Agreements" and servedfor many years on the Governor's Council and in the West JerseyAssembly."*

Shinn, Josiah H., The History of the Shinn Family in Europe andAmerica, Chicago, Ill.: Rand, McNally & Co., 1903, p. 72: "The elderDaniel Wills was one of hte proprietors, and one of the Commissionerssent from England to divide the lands. He came with a large family andmany indentured servants, who afterwards became leading citizens inthe Colony. As Commissioner, he with his fellow Commissionerspurchased the Indian rights from the Rancocas to Timber Creek, laid itout in parcels suitable for purchasers, and administered thegovernment of the Colony according to the Concessions and Agreements.As a Commissioner of the London Company he with three men located theLondon Tenth at Arwaumus, where Gloucester now stands. He wasafterwards chosen a member of the Govenror's Council, which positionhe dignified and adorned. He himself took up large quantities of landin Northampton Township, which was so named in honor of Northampton,England, from which Daniel Wills had emigrated. In 1681 he wasSurveyor General of the Province. In 1698 he went to the Barbados uponbusiness, where he died, leaving a will."

From Genforum:

Many "Friends" came to the colonies, even to Virginia and New Englandbefore Penn. Billy Penn was a late comer, receiving his charter in1781 and sailing on the "Welcome" in September 1682. Our ancestor,Daniel, beat Penn by five years bringing his family to West Jersey inthe "Kent" in the summer of 1677. He was one of two doctors among thisfirst ship load of 230 Quaker colonist. King Charles II saw them offpersonally. (Hoping to make a profit?) Daniel Wills was one of theLondon Commissioners who bargained with the Leni Lenape for theirland. He claimed 600 acres on the "Rancocas River" and named thetownship Northampton for his home shire in England. The principle townwas Bridlington (now Burlington). He practiced medicine and served ingovernment. He made his will 1st month (March) 25 1698 before sailingto Barbadoes to setle his brother William's estate. While there hetook sick of a virulent disease he was not prepared to cure and died.

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

After 1641, the name Buckman does not appear in the Billingshurstparish registers until the last half of the nineteenth century. Eitherthe Buckmans all became Quakers or moved away or died out inBillingshurst. After Edward's death, his widow Joan emparked with herson William and his family on the "Welcome" to come to America.However since she has never been found in any American records, it isassumed that she died of smallpox on the voyage.

The Buckman Family had come to Pennsylvania in 1682 on the "Welcome"ship with William Penn. Joan Bagham Buckman, widow of Edward Buckmanwas a passenger along with her daughter, Ruth, three sons, William andhis wife Sarah; Thomas and Edward, Jr. , plus three grandchildren,Thomas, Mary and Sarah (William's children).

They had set sail on July 20, 1682 on what was to become a famousvoyage with a famous man. Small pox broke out on the ship and half ofthose on board died at sea. It is believed that William Penn wasimmune, having had the disease as a young man. The Buckman family wasthe largest family group on board. This family of nine brought 2000pounds of luggage; they had a private cabin, suggesting they were afamily of wealth. There exists a verbatim list of all the items theyshipped. They brought linen table cloths and napkins, pewter dishes,cherry wood furniture, including several beds; all the SeniorBuckman's carpentry tools and building supplies; non-perishable foodfor the crossing and enough clothing to last each one a lifetime.There were hats and capes for the women; suits, shoes and hundreds ofpounds of linen wearing apparel; curtains, pillows, brass cookware andevery thing was packed in chests, baskets, tubs, sacks and coolers.

Before leaving England, the Buckman Family purchased, from WilliamPenn, land in Bucks County, at Newtown. It was in the names of thethree brothers, William, Edward and Thomas. Historians agree that theyoung brothers, Edward and Thomas died of small pox before reachingPennsylvania. William's 7 year old son Thomas, was also a casualty.Most historians believe that the mother, Joan Bagham Buckman also diedat sea. However, this writer believes that Joan did survive, arrivingon the Pennsylvania shores and lived a few years.

The Welcome Ship sailed up the Delaware River on October 28, 1682 andmany families spent the first winter in abandoned Indian caves atFallsington awaiting spring weather before setting out to locate theirpurchased land. In early 1683, William, Sarah and their daughters,Mary and Sarah went north to Newtown to claim their land. Ruth Buckmanstayed in Fallsington. If her mother were not alive, surely she wouldhave gone north to claim her portion of the land? In the year 1683,William Penn granted Ruth Buckman 50 acres of land (recorded at theLand Office in Harrisburg). It seems logical that Ruth stayed with herelderly Mother, on this acreage of land. The Swedes had occupied thisarea for several years just prior to 1680, abandoning it about thetime the Welcome Ship arrived. The good homes built by theseScandinavian people would have served well as a residence for Ruth andher mother.

Ruth attended a wedding in 1685 at Pennsbury Manor (home of WilliamPenn.) It must have been at this occasion she met Richard Harrison.Their names are included in the guest list, as is customary at Quakermarriages. There is no formal record of a courtship between the twoyoung people, but in the following year, Ruth is living in Nottingham,a New Jersey community across the River from her former Fallsingtonhome. There is no mention of her mother; so it is assumed that Joanwas no longer living.

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

In 1667 he gave five acres to each of his four sons
There was a family tradition that Thomas Sayre was emplyed by theEnglish mint prior to his emigrating, but there are no recods extantto that tradition. He immigrated to Lynn,Massachusetts sometime before1638, at which point he first appears on the town records asproprietor of 60 acres, his brother Job Sayre also with 60 acres. Lynnwas founded in 1629, so it is possible he may have been there earlierthan 1638.
In 1639, he, along with his brother and six others, undertook to forma new colony on Long Island. To that point in time six other colonieshad been formed by people leaving Lynn to strike out as pioneers. Thesmall group, which intended to form a colony with eventually twentyfamilies bought a sloop for eighty pounds, with the Sayre brotherscontributing 5 pounds each. They sined the boat over to one of theirnumber, David Howe, a sailor, in exchange for his agreeing to use thesloop to convey belongings and people three times a year over the nexttwo years. By May of 1640, they had sailed down Long Island Sound andlande at present day Manhasset, at the head of Cow Bay, or Schout'sBay, as the Dutch called it.

There was a family tradition that Thomas Sayre was employed by theEnglish mint prior to his emigrating, but there are no records extantto that tradition. He immigrated to Lynn, Massachusetts, sometimebefore 1638, at which point he first appears on the town records asproprietor of 60 acres, his brother Job Sayre also with 60 acres. Lynnwas founded in 1629, so it is possible he may have been there earlierthan 1638.

In 1639, he, along with his brother and six others, undertook to forma new colony on Long Island. Up to that time, six other colonies hadbeen formed by people leaving Lynn to strike out as pioneers. Thesmall group, which intended to form a colony with eventually twentyfamilies, bought a sloop for £80, with the Sayre brothers contributing£5 each. They signed the boat over to one of their number, David Howe,a sailor, in exchange for his agreeing to use the sloop to conveybelongings and people three times a year over the next two years. ByMay of 1640, they had sailed down Long Island Sound and landed atpresent day Manhasset, at the head of Cow Bay, or Schout's Bay, as theDutch called it.

What transpired at this point is recorded by Banta in The SayreFamily, drawing on Howell's History of Southampton and New YorkColonial Documents, vol. II, pp. 144–150. It seems that the pioneerPuritans had little regard for the Dutch rule at New York, and bylanding at Schout's Bay, they sought to challenge it. The land theyfirst set foot on had been sold by the local Indian Sachem to theDutch, but the intrepid little group paid little heed to the arms ofthe Prince of Orange that the Dutch had erected on a tree there.Indeed, they tore it down and replaced it with "an unhandsomeface...being a criminal offense against his Majesty", to quote theCommissary, Van Curler, who had been sent out to investigate thereport of the Sachem that "some foreign strollers" were buildinghouses on the Dutch land.

So on the 13th of May the Council of New Amsterdam ordered CorneliusVan Teinhoven to arrest and bring before them the "strollers andvagabonds" of Schout's Bay who had insulted them. By the 15th, VanTeinhoven, along with two officers and twenty men, arrived at thescene, finding one small house built and another in progress. Beingtold by the "vagabonds" that they intended to settle there, and thatthe arms of the Prince of Orange had been torn down by one who was notthen present, six of the men were arrested and taken to FortAmsterdam. Two men, a woman and a child were left behind to watch overthe belongings, and it is most likely that one of these was ThomasSayre, for the six men were named in the records of the Dutchinterrogation at Fort Amsterdam. Job Sayre was one of them, but hisbrother Thomas was not. The six were discharged the next day, "oncondition that they promise to deport forthwith from our territory,and never to return without the Director's express consent."

The small band of Puritan colony founders complied with the Dutch,sailing back out Long Island Sound, around the eastern end, landing ata place about three miles from present day Southampton. They settledand remained for about eight years at a place about three-quarters ofa mile from the center of the present day Southampton. In 1648 ThomasSayre built a house on the town lot apportioned to him, and that housestayed in the family until 1892. When Banta wrote his history of theSayre family in 1901 the house was still inhabited and believed to bethe oldest English house on Long Island.

Thomas Sayre went on to be a prominent man in the early history ofSouthampton. He is named in the first record of the General Court in1649 as one of three chosen to "agitate town business". Throughout the1650's he is repeatedly named as one of the townsmen to manage theaffairs of the town. He was ordered by the general court on October23, 1650, to raise a militia. Banta concludes that Thomas may have hada quick temper, as he was censured and ordered to pay a fine on twooccasions for challenging the authority of the Magistrate. Banta alsoconsiders that he was generous. "The town records publish only oneoccasion where contributions were made for those in distress, and onthat occasion it relates: 'At a town meeting, February 4, 1656, acontribution was made for Goodman Gouldsmith, because of his loss byfire' (house burned by Indians); of the contributors (of wheat) oneonly gave more than Thomas."

On 10 June 1637 "portions of grass and meadow" were laid out toseveral men, including "our neighbor James" [PrTR 1:4]. (This may bethe same meadow referred to on 8 October 1638 by Roger Williams [PrTR3:90] and mentioned on 29 August 1640 as having been "laid out thelast year" to five persons, including Thomas James [PrTR 1:108].) In adeed dated 23 November 1663 John Whipple describes a boundary as "ahome share of land formerly belonging unto Thomas James (formerly aninhabitant of the aforesaid town of Providence) but now in thepossession of John Throckmorton" [PrTR 3:98]. On 8 October 1638 ThomasJames became one of the original "13 proprietors of Pautuxet" [PrTR4:73, 14:274, 15:31, 236].

On 3 November 1639 it was "orderedthat Mr. James shall have Francis Parrott's lot" in New Haven [NHCR1:24]. On 23 October 1640 it was "ordered that Mr. James shall havehis meadow at the lower end of the Neck" [NHCR 1:43]. (These same twoorders were recopied a few years later, with the added description of"Mr. James" as "sometime an elder in the Bay" [NHCR 1:197].)

In the survey of New Haven households and estates carried out about1640 "Tho[mas] James sen." had a household of five and an estatevalued at £200, but with no assessment. He had twenty-two and a halfacres in the first division, four and a half acres in the neck, twelveand a half acres of meadow, and fifty acres in the second division[NHCR 1:92].

On 2 October 1649 "Thomas James passeth over to Richard Hull" sixacres and a quarter of meadow, five acres and a half and twenty rodsof upland in the Yorkshire quarter, five acres and a half and twentyrods in another location, and "half his propriety in his seconddivision, not yet laid out." On the same day he sold to Robert Johnson"the same proportion of meadow and upland as before expressed toRichard Hull [NHCR 1:487].

On 5 February 1655/6 "Mr. Wakeman by order from Thomas James passethover to Thom[as] Johnson the house and home lot of the said Thom[as]which is over against Mr. Wakeman's lot" [NHTR 1:267]. In his will,dated 5 February 1682[/3] and proved 13 February 1683[/4], "ThomasJames of Needham Market, clerk," bequeathed to "my son Thomas James ofEasthampton in Long Island in New England in case he be living at thetime of my death, all my books and such of my household goods andclothes as can or may conveniently be sent over thither, but in casemy son Thomas shall not be living ... the same shall be equallydivided amongst all my grandchildren or great grandchildren"; "mymessuage in Needham Market wherein I dwell shall be sold and themonies arising therefrom" given to "Mr. John Fairfax £5"; to "Mr. PaulBrooke Senior £5"; "Elizabeth Frewer widow now with me £10 ... and sheto occupy my house for one year after my decease"; £10 to be paid tothe binding out of three poor widow's lads in the town of Needhamprovided the said widow Frewer's lad be one of the three, out of theaffection the inhabitants have born to my son in my affliction"; £10to the executors; residue to "my son Thomas if living"; "£3 to thepoor of Needham"; executors Edmund Fernly, gent. and Paul Brooke,clothier [Waters 1356-57, citing Ipswich Wills, Archdeaconry ofSuffolk].

MARRIAGE: (1) Fishtoft, Lincolnshire, 20 April 1620 Olive Ingoldsby,daughter of Anthony and Dorcas (Bulkeley) Ingoldsby [TAG 11:27, 145];she apparently died by 22 April 1627, the date of her father's will,which names her children by Thomas James, but not her [TAG 11:210-11].(2) By 1632 Elizabeth _____, who evidently predeceased him, since sheis not provided for in his will.

CHILDREN:

With first wife

i THOMAS, b. about 1622; m. (1) by about 1648 Ruth Jones, daughter ofRev. John Jones (eldest child b. about 1648 [TAG 11:29-30]; in will of17 January 1664[/5] Rev. John Jones bequeathed to daughter Ruth James[FOOF 1:344]); m. (2) 2 September 1669 Katharine Blux, widow [TAG11:29; SoTR 2:53; FOOF 1:327-29].

ii JOHN, b. by 1627 [TAG 11:210-11]; d. soon.

With second wife

iii JOHN, b. Charlestown 18 January 1632[/3] [ChVR 1:4]; bp. there 9January 1632/3 [sic] [ChChR 45]; no further record.

iv NATHANIEL, bp. New Haven 1 August 1641 [FANH 941]; no furtherrecord.

ASSOCIATIONS: Rev. Thomas James was the brother of Mary (James)Mellowes, wife of Oliver Mellowes, who resided in Braintree. The firstwife of Rev. Thomas James was daughter of Rev. Anthony and Dorcas(Bulkeley) Ingoldsby, which brought him into the large kinship networkcentering on the Bulkeleys, several of whom came to New England [TAG11:26-30, 98-101, 143-45; Bulkeley Gen 14-36].

COMMENTS: On the passenger list of the William & Frances the firstentry is the unlikely name of "Thomas Thomas" [Hotten 149]. It hasbeen suggested by several authors that this hides both THOMAS WELD andThomas James, both of whom would have been evading the docksideauthorities, and the former of whom is known to have been on this ship[WJ 1:93].

Dorothie Wooll of Clipsham, Rutland, widow, bequeathed in her will of16 December 1636, among other gifts to "friends in New England," £5 to"Mr. James" [NEHGR 76:79, citing PCC 37 Goare].

"Mr. Tho[mas] James" was admitted an inhabitant of Charlestown inOctober 1632 "shortly after whose arrival the inhabitants of this townthat were members of the church that removed from hence to Boston,were now dismissed" in order to organize a church at Charlestown [ChTR7; WJ 1:112]. James was in the lists of Charlestown inhabitants dated9 January 1633/4 and January 1635/6 [ChTR 10, 15].

In late March 1634 Winthrop reported that "Satan ... stirred up aspirit of jealousy between Mr. James, the pastor of Charlton, and manyof his people, so as Mr. Nowell, and some others, who had beendismissed from Boston, began to question their fact of breaking fromBoston, and it grew to such a principle of conscience among them, asthe advice of the other ministers was taken in it, who, after twomeetings, could not agree about their continuance or return" [WJ1:51]. On 11 March 1635/6 Winthrop further stated that some "occasionsof difference had fallen out between the church of Charlton and Mr.James, their pastor.

The teacher, Mr. Simmes, and the most of the brethren, had takenoffense at diverse speeches of his (he being a very melancholic man,and full of causeless jealousies, etc.) for which they had dealt withhim, both privately and publicly; but, receiving no satisfaction, theywrote to all the neighboring churches for their advice and help in thecase, who, sending chosen men (most elders) they met there this day,and finding the pastor very faulty, yet because they had not proceededwith him in a due order - for of the two witnesses produced, one wasthe accuser - they advised, that, if they could not comfortably close,himself and such as stood on his part (if they would) should desiredismission, which should be granted them, for avoiding extremities;but if he persisted, etc., the church should cast him out" [WJ 1:217].

Although the final resolution of this controversy is not known, ThomasJames soon left Charlestown and settled at Providence. About 1639 hewrote from there to Governor John Winthrop, with two requests: first,"if a place called Seaconke be in your patent ... I may have liberty(if God give me a calling) to have your favorable allowance and situnder your gracious protection"; and second, "that I may obtain somuch as common equity and natural justice requireth ... [and] that Inever be punished in any kind causa inaudita [i.e., without beingheard] before I am convicted or have liberty to speak for myself in ajudicial way" [WP 4:89-90]. James was not called to Rehoboth, but soonremoved to New Haven, where he had travelled late in 1639 [WP 4:160].

In September 1642 a letter was sent from several persons in Virginiato the authorities in Boston, requesting that "a supply of faithfulministers" be sent to them. On 7 October 1642 William Thompson ofBraintree, John Knowles of Watertown and Thomas James of New Havenwere sent on the mission, from which Knowles and James returned thefollowing year [WJ 2:93-94, 115-16]. (Hubbard also described thismission, relying largely on Winthrop [Hubbard 190-91, 410-11].)

Thomas James had apparently also studied medicine, for in describingto Governor John Winthrop the murder of an Indian by four Englishmenin the summer of 1638, Roger Williams noted that "Mr. James and Mr.Greene endeavored, all they could, his life; but his wound in thebelly, and blood lost, and fever following, cut his life's thread" [WP4:49]. In Bradford's version of this episode Roger Williams "took Mr.James, a physician, with him. The man told him who did it, and in whatmanner it was done; but the physician found his wounds mortal and thathe could not live, as he after testified upon oath before the jury inopen court. And so he died shortly after, as both Mr. Williams, Mr.James and some Indians testified in court" [Bradford 300].

In discussing the Indian deed for Providence, William Harris statedthat Thomas James had been the scrivener who prepared the document,and described him as "a man of learning and wisdom ... once pastor ofthe church at Charlestown" [Chapin 1:103].

On 16 March 1645/6 "Mr. James" was included in a list of men who "upontheir request & their occasions being known to the [New Haven] court,had leave for to depart the court" [NHCR 1:225].

The details regarding Sarah's birth and their possible marriage inWales as well as John's father being William come from the LDSAncestral File.

A wealth of information is available in the January 1996 article "TheRev. John Jones of Fairfield, Connecticut" by Frederick C. Hart, Jr.,as published in The American Genealogist (71:1). Some facts from thatpiece:

John matriculated at Queens College, Cambridge, England in 1608,received his B.A. in March 1611/12, and his M.A. in 1616. He waspastor at Abbot's Ripton, Huntington, England from at least 1621-1628,when his first six children were baptized there. The next three werebaptized in London at St. Stephens in Coleman Street, between October1631 and April 1635. The article has some interesting speculation onwhat John was doing in London.

In 1635 the family, except for Eliphalet who was not born yet, arrivedin Boston, Massachusetts, on the Defence. John was the first pastor ofthe Congregational Church of Fairfield, Connecticut.

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

John was a very religous person. He was also an extremely welleducated person. In addition to being Clerk of the Privy Seal, he wasemployed both in England and abroad by King James I and King Charles Ias Secretary to several Ambassadors. All of this information was takenfrom a tribute to him given at Westminster Abbey by his son-in-law,John Browne

Note: Lineage .

A SHORT HISTORY OF ST JOHN'S, GROOMBRIDGE
The history of a church in Old Groombridge goes back to 1239 whenWilliam Russell and his wife Haweis were granted a charter to buildthe Chapel of St John the Apostle and Evangelist. This was a chantry,a small building within the moat of the manor house, consecrated forthe saying of Masses for the souls of its benefactors. Lands weregranted to Sir Robert, Rector of Speldhurst, to pay the stipend of theChaplain performing this duty.

The present Church is built in the last stage of the Gothic style,known as perpendicular. It is a historic reminder of an event, morethan three and a half centuries ago, when Prince Charles (later to beKing Charles I) made a journey to Spain in disguise to try to persuadethe daughter of the Spanish King to elope with him. The event causedgreat concern to the people of England who still had the memory of theSpanish Armada fresh in their minds. At this time John Packer, Clerkof the Privy Seal to Charles I, was living in the manor at Groombridgeand he vowed that if Charles returned safe from Spain he would build achapel in his park as a thanks-offering to God. When Charles returnedsafe in both senses, unscathed and unmarried, the Chapel was built andfinished in 1625 and this is recorded in the Latin inscription abovethe porch. Although there was still the small chapel inside the moatof the manor house, which served for the family and its retainers, thevillagers had up until then had to go to Speldhurst for Sunday worshipand for baptisms, weddings and funerals. So the building of the newChapel made it much easier for the villagers to attend church. Withthe chapel went a piece of land as a burial-ground, and the registersshow that the first person to be buried there was John Lee on 13thJune 1633.

John Packer’s Church remained a private Chapel from 1625-1872, and fora time it became known as St Charles’ Chapel. In later years, afterthe last male member of the Packer family had died, the estate becamevested in Chancery and the Chapel fell into disrepair. When WilliamCamfield, a Tunbridge Wells builder, bought Groombridge Place in 1754he repaired and beautified the chapel from a very ruinous condition”and he then added his name to the Packer stone over the porch inletters twice as large as the original inscription.
In spite of Camfield’s beautifying, by the beginning of the 19thcentury the building is described by Amsinck in his "Tunbridge Wellsand Neighbourhood" (*see below) as in a wretched state ofdilapidation. It was subsequently re-roofed. In 1872 the Church wasofficially consecrated and dedicated, as in ancient times, to St Johnthe Evangelist. In 1895 a fire caused by lightning seriously damagedthe east end. This was repaired but in 1912 it was found that the roofhad not been properly supported and was weighing too heavily on thetop of the wall and breaking up the window arches. Some of thebuttresses, too, were separating from the walls they were meant tosupport. This was put right at the cost of £300, a large sum in thosedays.

One of the main attractions of this Church is its wealth of stainedglass, which was mainly introduced in the latter part of the 19thcentury. Six of the eight large windows are the work of the celebratedSussex artist, Charles Kempe, but also of special note is the centrelight of the S.E. window, featuring the armorial bearings of thePacker family. This is the original glass, dating from the building ofthe Church.

Another glory of the chapel is the brass-work. There are four brasschandeliers hanging over the aisle, one of them said to be Flemish17th century work and the others copies. Also of note are thedecorative candlesticks around the walls, the oak pulpit and font andthe many memorials. The clock at the west end is very old. It is oneof the few remaining one-handed clocks in the country and the spacebetween the figures is divided into four and not five. The date on theclock face is 1792 but the clock itself is much earlier.

* "In the hamlet of Groombridge, adjoining the mansion, and anappendage to the estate, is a chapel, in which the service of theChurch of England is regularly performed ; apparently to the danger ofthe minister and his congregation : it being in a wretched state ofdilapidation. This chapel, which was built in the year 1625, iswhimsically dedicated by John Packer, Esq. the owner of this estate,in an inscription over the porch, to the happy return of CharlesPrince of Wales, from his eccentric amorous expedition to Spain : asingular mode of perpetuating the remembrance of a wild exploit;which, however, if it is to depend on this memorial, will speedilypass into oblivion."

John, was a
Frenchman who bore the surname Plat, or Platt, having fled from France

"Thomas Pierce, our immigrant ancestor, came from England, probablyNorfolk, in 1633, with his wife, Elizabeth, and several children, andsettled in Charlestown, Mass. He was born in 1583 or 1584 andElizabeth in 1595 or 1596. Her surname is unknown. Elizabeth wasadmitted to the First Church of Charlestown, Jan. 10, 1634/5, andThomas, with their son Thomas, on Feb. 21, 1634/5. Thomas was admittedas freeman on May 6, 1635. We have been unable to secure muchinformation about him. On Sept. 27, 1642, his name appears as one of acommission of 21 men who were appointed by 'the Great and GeneralCourt to see that Salt Petre heapes were made by all the farmers ofthe colony'."
"He had a grant of four acres of planting land in 1635, but afterwardwas possessed of a large estate in and around Charlestown 'as far backas Medford and Worburn'. At the time of his death his property wasinventoried at 414 pounds, which was an ample fortune in those days.The date of his death is reported by some writers as Nov. 7, 1665, butthat is the date his will was made out. In the will he left a bequestof twenty shillings to Harvard College, but the bulk of his estate wasgiven to his wife. However, her death date is given as Oct. 7, 1666,so she did not long survive her husband."
Thomas and Elizabeth were the parents of eight children: Thomas, John,Samuel, Robert, Mary 1628-1703, Elizabeth, Persis, and Abigail.

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

JOSEPH HILLS1. As stated in detail upon pages three and four of thethird report of the directors of the Hills Family Association, it hasbeen found that Joseph Hills was born in the parish of Great Burstead,Billericay, Essex, England. The record of his baptism reads, "1602,March, Joseph Hilles the sonne of George, was baptized the third day."Neither the birthplace nor parentage of George Hills has yet beendiscovered. The earliest known record in relation to him is that ofhis marriage, -- "George Hilles, linen draper, and Mary Symonds, ofBillericay, County Essex, widow of William Symonds, late of same,tanner, general license of the Bishop of London, 13 Oct. 1596." Anunfortunate break in the register of Great Burstead, all recordsbetween 1579 and 1596 being missing, will probably prevent thediscovery of the maiden name and parentage of the wife of GeorgeHills.

Joseph Hills, as shown by his signatures, used but four letters, inthe form now commonly used, in his surname. In the baptismal record ofhis brothers and sisters born before 1607, like that which relates tohimself, the name has two vowels. The change to Hills in the entry ofthe christening of his sister Rebecca in February, 1608, and of twoyounger children, doubtless followed the advent of a new Vicar intothe living of Great Burstead. In that parish, on the twenty-second dayof July, 1624, Joseph Hills was married to Rose Clarke whose birthrecord has not yet been found. There his elder children were born. Notlater than March, 1632, the family removed to Maldon, also of Essex,which was the birthplace of sons John and "Steven" and of daughterSarah.

Not later than March, 1632, the family removed to Maldon, Essex. In1638 he was the "undertaker" of the voyage of the ship "Susan andEllen," which arrived July 17 of that year, and landed her passengersand cargo at Boston, in New England. Resident of Charlestown. Familydwelling was "near the market place," but in a few years he was aresident of that part of town north of the Mystic River, establishinghis home at "Mystic Side" on a farm of considerable size. He was aselectman in 1644, and in 1646 represented the town in the GeneralCourt. Re-elected in 1647, he was chosen speaker of the House ofDeputies. When "Mystic Side" was set off as a separate town, it wasdoubltess named by him for the place where he last dwelt in OldEngland. That part of ancient Charlestown has long since outgrown thetown form of government, and with more than thirty thousandinhabitants, is known as the city of Malden.

While a resident of Mystic Side and Malden he was captain of itstrain-band. At his death he willed his "buffe coate" to his sonSamuel, and his "backsword" to Henry Lunt, his stepson. He wasMalden's first deputy, and the town had no other representative untilafter 1664. In 1665 Malden was not represented, Mr. Hills havingremoved to Newbury, on the Merrimac River. In 1666 his son-in-law,John Waite, was his successor, and "for an unbroken series of nineteenyears he filled this office," being Speaker of the House of Deputiesin 1684 and nominated as a magistrate in 1683.

In 1645 Joseph Hills was the first named on a committee "to set outlots to the settlers of Nashaway plantacon." In 1648 he was first of acommittee of four to change the location of the highway "betweenWinnesemet and Redding." In 1650 he was second of a committee, ofwhich the governor was chairman, appointed to draw up instructions forthe Massachusetts delegates to a gathering where "the commissioners ofall the colonies shall meete." In 1653 he was one of a committee ofsix to consider the question, "if the Vnited Collonjes haue power bythe articles of Agreement . . . to ingage the Collonjes" "in warre."In 1654 ,with Captains Hawthorne and Johnson, and the treasurer of theColony, he was appointed to frame a reply to the home government,which had demanded an explanation of certain acts. Three times, in1650, 1653, and 1661, he was of committees to audit the treasuryaccounts, but his greatest public service was that of the leadingmember of the committee that in 1648 reported to the General Court thefirst codification of the laws of the Colony. The story of his part ofthe work is well told by one of his descendants, Mr. D. P. Corey, inhis history of Malden, published in that city, in 1899. That he wasthe actual compiler of the laws, that he prepared the copy for thepress and supervised their printing, is clearly proved. The colonyrecognized the great value of his work, not only by a money paymentbut by a grant of five hundred acres of land on the Nashua River, nowa part of Southern New Hampshire, and the remission of his taxes inhis old age. But new laws were from time to time enacted and old oneschanged, and "the Courte finding by experience the great benefitt thatdoth redound to the country by putting of the lawes into printe," in1649-50, 1653, 1654 and 1661 appointed committees as stated in thevote of the last-named year "to peruse such lawes as are vnprinted &vnrepealed & comitt them to the presse."

For this work Joseph Hills had such prominence that his appointmentsto these committees were three times as numerous as those of any ofhis colleagues except Governor Bellingham who, notwithstanding hisofficial position, was outranked by his less distinguished associatein the number of times he was designated for such service

ROSE CLARK, the first wife of Joseph Hills, died at Malden, March 24,1650, and he married, June 24, 1651, Hannah (Smith), widow of EdwardMellows, of Charlestown, who died about 1655. In January, 1656, hemarried Helen, or Elline, or Eleanor, daughter of Hugh Atkinson, ofKendall, Westmoreland, England, who died at some date between January8, 1661, and November 10, 1662. In connection with this marriage anoteworthy incident occurred. In the early days of the Colony allmarriages were solemnized by magistrates, the clergy having no part inthe ceremony. In 1641 Governor Bellingham, as magistrate, marriedhimself to Penelope Pelham, and when called on to come down from thebench and plead to a complaint against him for the act, refused to doso. Joseph Hills was a magistrate "for the trial of small causes," andfollowed the Governor's example in his marriage of January, 1656, but,unlike the Governor, did not escape public censure. The records of theCourt for Middlesex County show that, April 1, 1656, "Mr. Joseph Hillsof Mauldon being presented by the Grand Jury for marrying of himself,contrary to the law of this Collony page 38 in ye old Booke. Heefreely acknowledged his offence therein, and his misvnderstanding thegrounds whereon he went wch he now confesseth to be vnwarrantable, Andwas admonished by the Court." March 8, 1665, he married, at Newbury,Ann, the widow of Henry Lunt, of that town, and until his death madeher dwelling his home.

His petition to the General Court, dated May 24, 1682, recites that"in the latter part of his pilgrimage" he was "totally" bereaved of"the sight of his eyes for more than 4 years now past." He died atNewbury, February 5, 1688.

CONCERNING THE NAME.

As a derivative of the verb to cut, especially in the primary sense
"to thrust, to drive, to strike "-signifying more particularly, "to
divide or sever with an edged tool "- the name CUTTER is frequently
applied to familiar implements, and to trades and mechanisms in which
such instruments are absolutely essential. It is interesting to notice
some less general and obsolete meanings of this word, and seek a clue
to the origin of the patronymic. "A light one-horse sleigh," in many
sections of the United States, is known by this name. Bartlett's
Dict. Americanisms (Boston, 1859) affords examples:

Sleighs are swarming up and down the streets, of all sort. and sizes,from the huge
omnibus with its thirty passengers, to the light, gaily-paintedcutters with their sol-
itary fur-capped tenants, &c-The Upper Ten Thousand, p.4.

And then we'll go sleighing, in warm raiment clad,
With fine horses neighing, as if they were glad.
The shining bells jingle, the .swift cutter flies
And if our ears tingle, no matter; who cries 7-N. Y. Tribune.

"A nimble boat that cuts the water and used by ships of war,"
and also "a vessel with one mast and a straight running bowsprit"
-" the teeth (incisores) that cut the meat "-" an officer of the
exchequer that provides wood for the tallies, and cuts the sum paid
upon them, and then casts the same into the court to he written
upon "- all bear the name, and are variously noticed by lexico-
graphers.
Richardson (English Dictionary, London, 1838) among several ex-
amples cites the following from standard authorities:

* * * * * * * * * * never saw I figures
So likely to report themselves; the cutter
Was as another nature dumb: outwent her,
Motion and breath left out. - SHAKES. Cymbeline, Act ii sc.4.
And beholde I sente for thy seruantes, the Cutters and hewers oftimber. -Bible,
1551, 2 Chron., c.2.

I remember inquiring of a skilful cutter of diamonds and polisher ofgems, whose
customer I had been, about some conjectures I had concerning thingsbelonging to
his profession.-Boyle, Works, vol. v.p. 36.
The. other teeth (the cutters and dog-teeth) have usually but oneroot,-ld. lb.,

I hoisted out the Cutter, and manned her, &c. Cook Voyages, vol. iii.b. II.9.

In work. treating of "obsolete and provincial English words from
the English writers previous to the 19th century, which are no longer
in use, or are not used in the same sense, and words which are now
used only in the provincial dialects," occur the ensuing extracts,
which assign its use to Northumberland and Lancashire.
Cutter, in Northumberland, signifies "an engraver."-(Halliwell,
Archaic and Provincial Dictionary, London, 1847, vol. i. 288.) Also
"to whisper;" "to coo " - cuttering, cooing.-(Wright, Provincial
Dictionary, London, 1857, vol. i. 368.) In Lancashire, according to
Grose (Provincial Glossary, F. Grose, Esq., London, 1811), cutter
means "to fondle or make. much of, as a hen or goose of her young."
Cutter, as a substantive, was a well known cant word for a swaggerer,
bully, or sharper; in one sense derived from committing acts of
violence like those ascribed to the Mohawks. in Addison's time; in
the other from cutting purses. Cotgrave translates "A cutter (or
swashbuckler)" by "balaffreux, taillebras, feudeur de naseaux."
Coles. has a cutter (or robber), gladiator, latro.

How say you, wife, did I not say so much?
He was a cutter and a swaggerer.
Fair Maid of Bristol 4to. A. 3.

He's out of cash, and thou know'st by cutter's law we are bound torelieve one

Cowley's Cutter of Coleman Street, or Captain Cutter, is a town
adventurer; or, as he is aptly expressed in the Dramatis Personae,
"a merry sharking fellow about the town, pretending to have been a
colonel in the king's army."[2]

so that we may fairly conclude the later sense to be the proper onethere."

2. Nare's Glossary; Richardson's English Dictionary. The participialadjective CUTTING is
an epithet formed on the same principles as Cutter. Hence in Beaumontand Fletcher's

Eld. Love How's this?

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

"Robert Long was born in England in 1590. It is probable that he wasthe son of John Longe of St. Albans, near London. He came to Americain 1635, leaving London July 7, 1635, on the ship "Defense". Hebrought with him his second wife, Elizabeth, ten children, andservant, Lucy Mercer. They arrived in Boston Oct. 8, 1635, and settledin Charlestown, Mass."
"Robert had been an innkeeper at Dunstable, County Bedford, 30 milesfrom London; therefore well known to Rev. Zechariah Symmes, rector atthis place (in whose honor, perhaps, he named one of his sons). Robertbrought with him a cerfificate signed by Rev Symmes and the Justice ofthe Peace at Dunstable, listing the names and ages of his wife, histen children and his servants. Robert and Elizabeth were admitted tothe church in Charlestown on Apr. 17, 1636."
"Robert belonged to a family of noted innkeepers in England, so in1636 he purchased the 'Great House' for 30 lbs. The Great House wasbuilt in 1629 at the foot of town hill. It was first used as theofficial residence of the Governor, and was bought by the town ofCharlestown in 1633 from John Winthrop and other gentlemen for 10 lbs.It was then used as a Town Hall and also used by the First Church ofCharlestown, until it was sold to Robert, who made it into an innnamed the 'Three Cranes Inn'. It remained in the family for nearly acentury. The building was burned June 17, 1777, when Charlestown wasset afire by the British troops at the time they evacuated the city."
"Robert was made a freeman May 23, 1636. Not a great deal is recordedabout him. He served for a time as Selectman, and apparently operatedthe Inn until the time of his death, which occurred Jan. 9, 1663/4,'leaving good estate' according to Savage. His will was made July 10,1658 and probated Apr. 5, 1664. The inventory of his estate included ahouse valued at 270 lbs, and land at 602 lbs. The will bequeathed tohis wife and named most of his children. In 1673 the rest of the heirssold their rights in the estate to their brother John Long."
Robert first married Sarah Taylor. They were the parents of ninechildren: Michael 1615-?, Sarah 1616-?, Robert 1618/19-?, Elizabeth1621-?, Anne 1623-?, Mary (Martha) 1627-?, Rebecca 1627-?, John1628/29-?, and Zachary 1630-?
Robert married second, probably about 1633, Elizabeth, surnameunknown. They had four more children: Joshua 1634-?, Hannah 1637-?,Ruth 1639-?, and Deborah 1642-?.

BAPTISM: In a story written by Joseph Stowers of Derry, NH,"Recordsshow that Nicholas was made a member of the Church atBoston in 1630."No records cited.
Nicholas and Amy Stowers were of 35 persons who were dismissedfrom theBoston Church on Oct 14, 1632. The date of 11 Nov,1632 is believed tobe
the date of a re-baptism into the new church, the First ChurchinCharleston.
MARRIAGE: Nicholas and Amy Stowers were of 35 persons who weredismissed from the Boston Church on Oct 14, 1632. The date of 2Nov1632 appaarently represents a re-marriage of Nicholas and Amy in thenew church, the First Church in Charleston. They already had fourchildren at this time.

LIFE: A story by Joseph Stowers of Derry, NH , "In May of 1630 recordsshow that Nicholas was made a Freeman. This title afforded Nicholasthe right to vote and hold public office. On Sept of the same year,records show Nicholas was involved in the inquest of the death of oneAusten Bratch, that charged Walter Palmer with manslaughter. Palmerwas acquitted of the charge.It was also at this time that Nicholas wasappointed the town Herdsman. His duties involved driving the herd tothe CowCommon in the morning, and later in the evening returningtheherd to town, recieving in payment bushels of meal, Indian corn,orbeans. Land records of Charlestown show that in 1638Nicholas Stowerswas in possession of some 111 acres of landlying near the Mysticriver. Records of the court dated Match9, 1939 indicate that Nicholaswas chosen to the post ofConstable. Information shows that Nicholas in1634 joined thefirst seventy five white persons to own land, eachowning 10acres of land. One must assume, for Nicholas to amasstheacreage that he owned in 1638, some 111 acres, the postitionsofboth herdsman, for which he was also paid a monetary fee alongwithprovisions, and the title of Constable, and the fact thathe was afounding member of the church, was a well respected,responsible, andresourceful member of his community. It waswritten that to the date ofhis death in 1646 he lived aprosperous life. " No sources cited.

Perhaps her son John, was the one adm. freeman,1652, and the one who, by wife Elizabeth, had John, b. in Boston, June16, 1643. It is however more probable that he was an early settler ofWethersfield, Conn. Among the gleanings of Judge Savage, for NewEngland History (Mass. Hist. Coll., 4th Series, Vol. I, p. 96), is thefollowing extract from an ancient document, lately found in theEnglish Exchequer. "April the 8th, 1637. The examination of John Persof Norwich in Noff [Norwich in Norfolk] weaver aged 49 yeares andElizabeth his wife aged 36 yeares with four children John, Barbre,Elizabeth and Judeth and one sarvant John Gedney aged 19 yeares aredesirous to passe to Boston in New England to inhabitt." The name,age, occupation, and date of the embarkation of the father of thisfamily, favour the idea that he was the John Peirce, who settled inWat. If so, either Elizabeth was his 2d wife, or there was a mistakein her age; and he must have come to America some years after thearrival of his son Anthony.

JAMES CUTLER, born in England in 1606, settled as early as 1634 in(*)Watertown, Mass., where the first record of the family name in NewEngland is to be found, and was one of the original grantees of landin the northerly part of the town, on the road to Belmont. He marriedAnna (???), tradition says a sister of (+)Capt. John Grout's wife,both of whom were so opposed and tantalized in England for theirPuritanism, that they resolved to seek their fortunes in New England,and came unattended by parents or near friends. There is no authenticrecord by which to fix the year of James Cutler's arrival here. Hisfirst child, James, was born "ye 6th day 9th month 1635." He had thatyear passed all necessary probation, had been received an inhabitantof Watertown, and had a house-lot assigned him. It contained eightacres, bounded east by Thomas Boylston, west and north by a highway,i. e., by Common street and Pond road, south by Ellias Barron. In thefirst "great divide" (that is, general division of land), July 25,1636, he was assigned twenty-five acres, and three acres in thefurther plain (now Waltham), next to the river. In 1642, from the farmlands, he had assigned him eighty-two acres in the fourth division.

December 13, 1649, James Cutler and Nathaniel Bowman, for œ70, boughtof Edward Goffe 200 acres in Cambridge Farms, adjoining Rock Meadow,and near to or adjoining Waltham, "payable in instalments of œ10annually, in money, cattle, hogs, wheat, pease, rice Indian corn orbarlie, at the dwelling house of Edward Goffe, in Cambridge," andpayment secured by mortgage. March 4, 1651, Cutler sold his share (100acres) to Bowman for œ39. About this time, he settled at CambridgeFarms (now Lexington), on what is now known as Wood street, near theplace where William Hartwell resides, not far from the Concord (nowBedford) line. A part of the farm has been in the family untilrecently, when it was sold by the heirs of Leonard Cutler. He issupposed to have built one of the first houses at the Farms; vestigesof the cellar still remain. The house was located some thirty rodsfrom the present highway, on an elevation commanding an extensiveview. (*)James Cutler buried his first wife, Anna, September 30, 1644,and married, second, March 9, 1645, Mary, widow of (+)Thomas King. Shedied December 7, 1654, and he married his third wife, Phoebe, daughterof ??John Page, about 1660. Mr. Cutler was too remote from Watertown,and especially from Cambridge, to have admitted of his serving in townaffairs in either place. He made his will November 24, 1684, atCambridge Farms, being then seventy-eight, and died May 17, 1694, agedeighty-eight.

(*)James Gutler and others signed a petition to the General Court, inOctober, 1682, to be set off as a distinct parish, having no ministrywithout going from five to ten miles. The people of Cambridgezealously opposed the separation and the passage of the petition wasnot granted. The oldest paper
upon the records at Lexington is a subscription list, in 1691, for thepurpose of erecting a meeting-house in the precinct. It was signed byforty-one persons, among whom were Thomas Cutler, œ2; James Cutler,œ1; John Cutler, 12s.; and a tax bill for salary for the minister,from May 1, 1692, to May 1, 1693: John Cutler, 10s. 6d.; ThomasCutler, 18s. 9d.

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

"He was Deputy1 to New Haven in 1642 and 1643; possibly in 1647(records missing). Selectman of Stamford in 1641, and probably untilhis death. He left his house one morning to look after his cattle, inthe common grounds to the west of the village, and never returned. Hisdisappearance caused
much excitement in that settlement, and a feeling of alarm quicklyspread through the whole colony. The matter was brought up in theGeneral Court
in Hartford, on the 13th of Sept., 1649, and Deputy Gov. EdwardHopkins, Roger Ludlow, Magistrate, and John Talcott, Deputy, were sentat once to
confer with Gov. Eaton and the New Haven magistrates, about sending anexpedition against the Indians, who were universally believed to be
responsible for his disappearance. Five days later, forty-five men,well equipped, were sent to the aid of the New Haven Colony. Sept. 24,1649, the
New Haven General Court took ample measures to raise men, stores andequipment, to quell any Indian outbreak, and the Stamford Indiaus, whohad been very insolent, were overawed and soon became peaceable again." Note: 3 "John Whitmore was a representative in the General Court ofNew Haven. He was murdered at Stamford, where he lived, while insearch of cattle in the woods. An Indian, the son of a Sachem, broughtin a report of his death, which he charged to Taquatoes. His body wassought for in vain, until that Indian led the way to the spot, and itwas very evident that he was one of the murderers: but he made hisescape.1 For the following we are indebted to a pamphlet entitledRecord of the Descendants of Francis Whitmore, of Cambridge, Mass.,compiled by William H. Whitmore, Esq., of Boston, 1855: John Whitmorewas of Weathersfield, Conn., in 1640, as in February of that year,Richard Westcoat, for misleading him, was fined ten shillings. In1641, he removed to Stamford, with others, who settled under thedirection of Rev. Richard Dunton, and had been sojourners at WesternMass. A list of his farms in Weathersfield is here given: The secondmonth and fifth day, 1641, the lands of Jo. Whitmore, lying inWeathersfield, on Connecticut river.

last, John Whitmore. one of the deputies of Stanford, a peaceable,inoffensive man, not apt to quarrel or provoke any of the Indians,going forth to
seek his cattell, returned not according to expectation, nor could befound by the English that sought him; but, quickly after, the son of a
Sogamore who lives near Stanford came to the towne, and told theEnglish that John Whitmore was murdered by one Torquatoes, had some ofhis cloths,
and particularly his shirt, made of cotton-linen. Hereupon the Englishand some Indians went into the woods to take the murthered body forburiall;
but, though they bestowed much time and labore, could not find it.Divers of the English at Stanford suspected Songamore's son to beeither the
author or the accessory of this murder, but had not the satisfyinggrounds to seize and charge him. About two or three months after,Uncas coming to
Stanford, calling the Indians thither, and inquiring after themurdered body, the fore-mentioned Songamore's son, and one Rohoron,another suspected
Indian, led some of the English, and some of Uncas his men, to theplace where the murdered body, or the relicts of it lay. The carcasewas brought
to Stanford. The Sogamore's son and Rohoron fell on trembling, andthereby confirmed the suspicion of the English, and wrought suspicionin some of
the Mohegin Indians, so they said those two Indians were nought,meaning they were guilty. John Whitmore's widow, both by messengersand letters,
presses for justice; and other Indians grow more insolent, and censurethe English for want of due prosecution in such a case.--Hazard'sState

Lieut. Francis Whitmore of Middletown (says Mr. W. H. Whitmore ofBoston, in relation to Mr. E. P. Whitmore of N. Y.), was the oldestson of

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

Richard Parke came from Hadleigh, county Suffolk, England, and thereis some reason to believe that he was a relative of Deacon WilliamParke of Roxbury, MA and Samuel Park of Medford, MA and perhaps ofThomas Park of Stonington, CT.
Richard Perk, miller, 33, with wife Margery, 40, Isabell, 7 andElizabeth, 4 sailed from London in the ship "Defence", on 10 August1635, with Reverend Thomas Shepard's company, arriving in Boston on 3October 1635. They settled in Cambridge, MA, that year, and Richardwas a proprietor of Cambridge Farms (now Lexington) in 1642. In adivision of land in 1647 he had eleven acres in Cambridge Village (nowNewton), "on the south side of the river, bounded by Edward Jackson'sland on one side, near the Cow Common." The highway to Dedham, MA waslaid out through this land in 1647. In the division of land on theShawshine River in 1652 he had Lot 78, 100 acres. A very ancientdwelling house which was pulled down in 1800, was supposed to havebeen built by him. Previous to 1652 he owned a large tract of land inthe northwest part of the village. It contained 600 acres which heprobably bought of Reverend Thomas Shepard or his heirs.
He served as constable in Newton in 1656, and in 1657 was one of thecommittee, with Edward and John Jackson and Samuel Hyde, to lay outand settle highways in the village. Cambridge Village desired to beset off from Cambridge, and during the ensuing controversy he sent apetition in 1661 to the General Court of Massachusetts at Boston,praying to retain his connection with the Cambridge church. In 1663 hewas released from training on account of age. He signed a petition tothe General Court in 1664, asking it to address His Majesty the King,approving the established government, and praying that it becontinued.
The early settlers of Newton numbered at most twenty-two, among themJackson, Fuller, Ward, Hyde, Park, Wiswall, Prentice and Trowbridge.These men exercised a leading influence in all the affairs of thetown.
His will of 12 July 1665, was witnessed by Elder Wiswall and CaptainHugh Mason. He left to his "only son Thomas" all his housing and landsin Newton, after the death of his wife, Sarah. All but the 600 acreswith buildings was equally divided between his two daughters, Isabelland Elizabeth. In the inventory of his estate taken by John Shermanand John Spring on 19 October 1665, the dwelling house, barn,outhousing and 600 acres of land, "although 20 acres is broken up,"was appraised at £660; 20 acres elsewhere, £100; whole amount £972."After his death his widow removed to Duxbury, where she was a memberof the Plymouth First Church.

He was brobably born in Lincolnshire, as he called himself a"Lincolnshire gentleman." He was denied a Royal loan in 1627 becausehe defied Charles

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

Extracts from the Parish Register of Nayland, taken in 1892:

1617--Julie--the 20 daie were mar Gregory Stonne and Margaret Garrad.
1618--July--The last daie was bapt. John, sonne of Gregory Stonne.
1620--August--The 15 day was bap. Daniel ye sonne of Gregory Stone.
1622--Septem: 22 was bapt. David ye sonne of Gregorie Stone.
1624--October. 3 was bap. Elizabeth, the daughter of Gregory Stone.
1626--Aug: 4 was buryed Margrett, the wife of Gregory Stone.
1626--Aug: 6 was buryed Elizabeth the daughter of Gregory Stone.
1628--March 6, was bap. Elizabethe the dau. of Gregorie Stone.
1630--February 4, daie was bapt. Samuell sonne of Gregory Stone.
1632--Feby. 8, was bapt. Sarah daughter of Gregory Stonne.

There can be no doubt that Gregory Stone of Nayland, Suffolk County,England, and Gregory Stone of Cambridge, Mass., are the same. TheNayland Register shows that Gregory Stone was married twice; that hisfirst wife, Margaret Garrad, was the mother of his first threechildren, John, Daniel and David; and the mother of the other three,Elizabeth, Samuel and Sarah, was his second wife, whom we know to havebeen the widow Lydia Cooper. Simon and Gregory Stone have both beenlocated in England, not long before they came to this country, Simonat Boxted in Essex, and Gregory at Nayland in Suffolk; but both, it isevident, were born elsewhere and Emma M. Walford, the well-knowngenealogist of London, found the records of their baptisms on theParish Registers of Much Bromley. Much Bromley, now called GreatBromley, Essex County, England, is only about nine or ten miles fromBoxted and Nayland.

From Registers of Baptisms, 1559-1660 inclusive:

1585-6. 9 Feb. Simond, son of Davie Stone & Ursly his wife.
1592. 19 Ap. Gregorie Stone, son of David Stone.

Marriages, 1559-1660 inclusive:

1616. 5 Aug. Symond Stone & Joan Clarke were married
Here we have the baptism of Simon Stone, Feb. 9, 1585-6. We know thathis wife's maiden name was Joan Clarke, and we have here the marriageof Simon Stone and Joan Clarke, Aug. 5, 1616. As to Gregory, hisbaptism, April 19, 1592, agrees with his age as given by Savage, whosays he was eighty years old when he died in 1672.

From later researches in 1907: Simon Stone of Watertown and GregoryStone of Cambridge, the original emigrants, were born in Much Bromley,now Great Bromley, Essex County, England, and their ancestry has beentraced beyond reasonable doubt to Symond Stone of Much Bromley, whodied in 1510. Symond Stone of Much Bromley owned a property called"Walles," situated in Ardleigh, which he bequeathed to his second son,Walter Stone. Ardleigh and Much Bromley are adjoining parishes andtheir churches are only three miles apart. There can be no doubt thatthe Stones mentioned in the Court Rolls of Ardleigh are of the samefamily from which Simon and Gregory Stone, the emigrants, descended.The will of Symond Stone of Much Bromley, dated May 12, 1506, probatedFeb. 10, 1510, names four sons, David, Walter, Myhyll (i. e., Miles),and William.

Temple (History of Framingham) says he came in 1635,
aged 45, and settled in Watertown, whence he removed to
Cambridge. His wife was Mrs. Lydia Cooper, whose two
children by her first husband came with Gregory and Lydia
from England. (Ward's Shrewsbury. Temple's Framingham.) (Savage.)
Gregory was deacon and Representative to the General
Court, 1638. His son (Soc. Col. Wars Records.)
SAMUEL (6) was born 1635, died 1715. Married Sarah
Stearns, of Watertown, June 7, 1655. Was a deacon at
Lexington.
Served at Dedham in Major Willard's Troop, 1654. (Temple'sFramingham.)
Was a private in Captain Prentice's company.

Also in Captain Thomas Brattle's Troop of Horse and in
the expedition to Mount Hope. His son
JOSEPH (7) born 1671. Lived at Lexington. Married
Sarah Wait. Died 1703. Their son (Temple's Framingham.)
ISAAC (8) born 1695. Authorities differ about this date.
Hudson says 1695, and the majority agree with him. Mr.
Hemmenway, Town Clerk of Framingham, says in letter he
was son of Sarah Stearns, but he has made a mistake in
copying records. Sarah Stearns, as Temple and others
state, was his grandmother. He married Elizabeth Brown,
of Sudbury, July 24, 1722, and was in Shrewsbury 1727.
Member first Board of Selectmen, December 29, 1727.

He gave Lexington a bell for the use of the Town forever.
It was given in Town Mee?? June 15, 1761, and
weighed 463 pounds. The M??erator thanked him on
behalf of the Town. It was the ringing of this bell which
summoned the Minutemen at Lexington to resist the advance
of the British troops. (Hudson's Lexington, 239.)
Elizabeth died in 1794, aged 96 years. Their son
JASPER (9), born in Shrewsbury April 30, 1728, married,

STONE FAMILY. Gregory Stone (1), the immigrant ancestor of Lyman T.Stone, of Boylston, Massachusetts, was baptized in Great Bromley,Essex county, England, April 19, 1592. According to his own depositionmade September 18, 1658, he was born 1591 or 1592, his age being aboutsixty-seven years. His age at death, November 30, 1672, was given aseighty-two years. He was probably born, therefore, in 1591. He was theson of David and Ursula Stone, and grandson of Simon and Agnes Stone,all of England. He had a brother, Simon Stone, who also emigrated toAmerica, sailing in the ship "Increase," April 15, 1635; settled inWatertown; was admitted freeman May 25, 1636; town officer and deacon;died September 22, 1665. Various other immigrant settlers have beenerroneously supposed to be brothers of Gregory; Rev. Samuel Stone ofHartford was not a brother. Gregory Stone was admitted a freeman withhis brother Simon, May 25, 1636. He was a proprietor of Watertown, butresided most of his life in Cambridge. He had some famous orchards forhis day. His farm was on the present site of the Botanic Gardens ofHarvard University. He was one of the most prominent men of his day; adeputy to the general court; was elected deacon of Shepard Mitchell'schurch, and served thirty-four years, being the last survivor of theoriginal membership; was a civil magistrate, and one of the governor'sdeputies. His will, proved December 14, 1672, mentions his wife Lydiaand her children by her former husband--John Cooper and Lydia Fiske;his sons Daniel, David, John and Samuel; daughter Elizabeth Porter;daughter Sarah, wife of David Miriam; grandson John, son of DavidStone. He married in England. July 20, 1617, Margaret Garrad, bornDecember 5, 1597, died August, 1626, in England. He married (second)Lydia Cooper, widow, who died June 24, 1674. Her son by her formerhusband was John, married Anne Sparhawk; her daughter Lydia marriedDavid Fiske. Children of Gregory and Margaret Stone: 1. John,mentioned below. 2. Daniel, baptized July 15, 1620; settled inCambridge; married Mary (???); was a physician. 3.

The Stones appeared first in Watertown, but the father was very soonof Cambridge, where he acquired a homesite adjacent to that on whichthe Harvard Observatory was built in 1841, and this remained in thefamily a century or more. Gregory Stone became something of ahistorical figure in 1664 when he was one of four men from Cambridgewho presented to the General Court or legislature of the MassachusettsBay Colony a memorial signed by more than one hundred Cambridgefreemen protesting against the then proposed change of the governmentof New England which would put it under the rule of a royal commissionin which its citizens were not to be represented, and contrary to theterms and intent of the original patent for the colony. This seems tohave been about the first formal muttering of the spirit which morethan a century later was boldly set forth in the Declaration ofIndependence.

arr. on Arabella 1630 Watertown in Winthrop fleet sailed 4/8/1630 fromYarmouth, Isle of Wight and arrived Salem 6/12/1630, others sailed inMay arrived in July. Moved to Charlestown, then Watertown, he at MountAuburn, admitted freeman 5/18/1631.

Also known as "Isack" and "Sternes". Settled in Watertown Mass. wherehe was a rather prominent citizen. Isaac immigrated on the "Arabella",sailing from Yarmouth to Lowestoft to Salem, Massachusetts. The"Arabella" arrived on 23 Jun 1630 N.S. "ISAAC STEARNS came to America,in 1630, in the same ship, as there is reason to believe, with Gov.Winthrop, and Sir Richard Saltonstall, and settled in Watertown, nearMt. Auburn.* He was adm. freeman, May 18, 1631. which is the earliestdate of any such admission, and he was Selectman several years. In1647, he and Mr. Biscoe, were appointed by the Selectmen, "to considerhow the bridge over the river shall be built, and to agree with theworkmen for doing it, according to their best discretion." This is,says Dr. Francis, in his history, "the first mention of a bridge overCharles River, at Watertown." He d. June 19, 1671, leaving a wid.MARY. who d. Ap. 2, 1677. The births of only three of his children arerecorded in the town records, and itis probable that two, perhapsthree, of them were born in England. His pedigree has not beenascertained, nor is it certainly known what town he came from; but itis very probable that he came from the Parish of Nayland in Suffolk.Mr. Somerby obtained the following extract from the Parish Register ofNayland: "Baptized Jan. 6, 1626, MARY, dau. of Isaac Sternes. BaptizedOct. 5, 1628, ANNA, dau. of Isaac Sterns."
*His homestall, in 1642, was bounded on the N. by John Warren; W. byhighway; S. by John Biscoe; E. by Pequusset Meadow, a part of which heowned. In his distribution of the estate of his son Samuel, in 1724,to his eldest son, Nathaniel, was assigned this homestall, "where hisgrandfather lived." From Nathaniel, it probably passed to his sonDaniel.

[Isaac Sternes, who is above mentioned as the father of Mary, wife of
Isaac Learned, came to America in 1630, probably from the parish of
Nayland, in Suffolk, and settled in Watertown. He was admitted a
freeman May 18, 1631, the earliest date of any such admission. He was
selectman in 1659. 1670 and 1671. In 1647, with Mr. William Biscoe, he
had charge of the first bridge of which any mention is made, over the
Charles river, at Watertown. He died June 19, 1671, leaving a widow,
Mary, who died April 2, 1677. The inventory of his estate shows him to
have been, for those days, in comparative affluence. It included
forty-seven parcels of land, amounting to four hundred and sixty-seven
acres, with a proportionate quantity of stock, farming utensils, and
household goods; the whole value amounting to £524 4s. 0d. He had,
before his death, given portions to each of his children. He made a
will five days previous to his death, giving, among other items, to
his grandchildren, "the children of my oldest son, John Sternes, fower
score pounds," making, with what he had previously given, a double
portion; to his grandchildren, "the children of my daughter, Mary,
deceased, five and thirty pounds; my grandchild Isaac Lernet, to have
ten pounds of the said 35 pounds." All of the descendants of Isaac2
Learned are also descendants of Isaac Sternes through his daughter,
Mary. There were also numerous other intermarriages. His son John, one
of the first settlers of Billerica, m., 2d, at Barnstable, Dec., 1656,
Mary, daughter of Thomas and Sarah2 (Learned) Lathrop.

Arms. Or, a chevron between three crosses flory sable. Crest, a cock
starling proper. A coat of arms similar to this formerly belonged to
the occupants of the old Stearns homestead in Watertown; and there, is
now a similar one belonging to a branch of the Manning family in
Cambridge (descendants of Isaac Stearns), from which the accompanying
illustration is taken. It is the same as that borne by families of the
name of Sterne in the counties of Bucks, Cambridge, Hertford, and
Norfolk, England; the same also as that borne by Richard Sterne,
Archbishop of York, who was descended from the Sternes of
Nottinghamshire.

It is probable that all the families of the name of Stearns in the
United States, are descended from three early immigrants; as, in every
instance, where the lineage of a family has been traced back, it has
been to one of the following, viz., Isaac, or Charles, who settled in
Watertown; or Nathaniel, who settled in Dedham. Isaac, in his Will,
calls Charles "my kinsman," probably his nephew. What affinity there
was between Nathaniel and the other two, has not been ascertained; but
there is reason to suppose that he was related to them.

On May 17, 1662, Thomas Clark sold a lot of land in Boston, bounded S.
E. by land of Daniel Sternes. [Suffolk Deeds, IV., p. 268.] This is
the only record or notice of this Daniel Sternes, that I have met
with. There are families of the name of Starn or Stern in the Middle
and Southern States, who are of German origin.

The orthography of the name, (Stearns) now, with very few exceptions,
adopted by the descendants o Isaac, Charles, and Nathaniel, is
undoubtedly a variation, or a corruption of the name, STERNE, which
has been effected in this country. It probably commenced in the
pronunciation, and afterwards extended to the writing, of the name.
Sterne is a well-known name in the counties of Nottingham, Berks,
Norfolk, Hertford, Suffolk, and Cambridge, in England; but the name,
Stearns, has not occurred to me in any English work. In Winthrop's
Journal, and in the early town and county records, the name is written
Sterne. In the Will of the first Isaac Stearns, dated 1671, the name
has the correct orthography, with the exception or addition of a
superfluous terminal s, sometimes used in England. A very few now
write their names, Sterns and Starns.

ISAAC STEARNS came to America, in 1630, in the same ship, as there is
reason to believe, with Gov. Winthrop, and Sir Richard Saltonstall,
and settled in Watertown, near Mount Auburn. He was adm. freeman, May
18, 1631, which is the earliest date of any such admission, and he was
Selectman several years. In 1647, he and Mr. Biscoe, were appointed by
the Selectmen, "to consider how the bridge over the river shall be
built, and to agree with the workmen for doing it, according to their
best discretion." This is, says Dr. Francis, in his history, "the
first mention of a bridge over Charles River, at Watertown." He d.
June 19, 1671, leaving a wid. MARY. who d. Ap. 2, 1677. The births of
only three of his children are recorded in the town records, and it
is probable that two, perhaps three, of them were born in England.
His pedigree has not been ascertained, nor is it certainly known what
town he came from; but it is very probable that he came
from the Parish of Nayland in Suffolk. Mr. Somerby obtained the
following extract from the Parish Register of Nayland:
Baptized Jan. 6, 1626, MARY, dau. of ISAAC STERNES.
Baptized Oct. 5, 1628, ANNA, dau. of ISAAC STERNES

The names and ages of these two daughters seem to correspond exactly
with the supposed ages of the two eldest children of the first Isaac
Stearns, of Watertown; for in the early records, Anna and Hannah were
very often used, the one for the other.

It appears, from the appraisal of his estate, that he was in
comparative affluence for those early times, considering that he had
previously given respectable portions to each of his seven children;
for it embraces 14 lots or parcels of land, amounting to 467 acres,
with a due quantity of stock and farming utensils, provisions, and
household goods. See his Inventory on the preceding page.

His Will, dated five days before his decease, with his autograph
signature, is extant on the files of the Probate Office of Middlesex
County, and is as follows:

"I, Isack Sternes, of Watertown, in the County of Middlesex, being
sick in body, but through the goodness of God in sound memory, do
declare this to be my last Will and Testa[ment], in manner and form as
followeth:
"Imp.--ffirst, I return my spirit into the hands of God that gave it,
and my body to the earth, from whence it was taken.
"2dly. My will is, that Mary, my beloved wife, should enjoy my whole
estate, for her maintainance so long as she shall live a widow ; but
if my said wife shall marry again, then my will is that she should
enjoy only what the law intended and provided for in the law titled
dowers.
"3dly. I give and bequeath to my grand children, the children of my
sonne John Sternes, fower score pounds, [which] being added to what my
son had formerly, will be a double portion with the rest of my
children.
"4thly. I give unto my son Isaac Sternes, seventy pounds, which being
added to what he have had already, will be his proportion according to
the rest of my children.
"5thly. I give to my son Samuel Sternes, seventy ponnds, which being
added to what I formerly gave him, will be his proportion with the
rest of my children.
"6thly. I give to my grand children, the children of my daughter
Mary, deceased five and thirty pounds ; my grand child, Isaac Lernot,
to have ten pounds of the said 35 pounds--the remainder, which will be
twenty-five pounds, to be equally divided to the rest; which said
thirty-five pounds being added to what I formerly gave my daughter
Mary Lernot, will be an equal proportion with the rest of my children.
"7thly. I give to my daughter Sarah Stone, forty pounds, which being
added to what she formerly had, will be her proportion.
"8thly, I give to my daughter Elizabeth Manning, twenty pounds, which
being added to what I formerly gave her, will be her proportion;
further, my will is, that the said twenty pounds given to my daughter
Elizabeth aforesaid, be secured for the good and benefit of the
children.
"9thly. I give and bequeath to my daughter Abigail Morss, five acres
of meadow, lying and being at Samuel's farm, to enjoy and possess for
her and her heirs for ever, and my will is, that my daughter Abigail
Morss, may take the said five acres of meadow, either next to Samuel's
meadow, or next Capt. Mason's; and, besides the meadow, I give to my
said daughter Abigail, forty pounds, all which being added to what she
have had formerly, will be her proportion.
"10thly. My will is, that my kinsman Charles Sternes, shall have ten
pounds of my estate. Further, my will is, that my whole estate remain
whole and unbroken for comfort and maintainance of my beloved wife, as
above said, so long as she doth remain a widow--save only the five
acres of meadow given to my daughter Abigail, which she is to enjoy
presently.
"ffurther, I nominate and appoint my beloved sons Isaac Sternes, and
Samuel Sternes, executors, to this my last Will and Testament; and
have hereunto set my hand, this fourteenth day of June, one housand
six hundred and seventy-one, in presence of.
"Before subscribing, my will is, that when those several legacies are
paid out according to my Will within mentioned, then my will is, that
the remainder of my estate shall be equally divided among my children
then living, and so subscribe the day aforesaid by putting to my hand
in presence of,

"ISAAC STEARNS, probably from Nayland in Suffolk, England, came to
American in 1630 in the same ship, it is believed, as that in which
Governor Winthrop arrived. Stearns settled in Watertown, where he was
a freeman in 1631 and a selectman for several years. He died at
Watertown on June 19, 1671, leaving an estate of £524. His wife,
Mary, was born in England and died on April 2, 1677. His will
mentions his grandchild Isaac Lernot, son of his eldest daughter Mary,
deceased, who married Isaac Learned at Woburn on July 9, 1646."

The family of Sterne is an old armorial family of England. Arms: "Or,
a chevron between three crosses florry, sable." Crest: a cock starling
proper. The name is frequently found in the counties of Bucks,
Norfolk, Hertford, Suffolk, and Cambridge.

Isaac Stearns, the emigrant, married in 1622, in Eng., Mary Barker,
dau. of John and Margaret Barker of Stoke, Nayland, Co. Suffolk, Eng.,
a clothier. Their wills are found in Waters' Genealogical Gleanings in
England. Isaac Stearns, whose daughter Mary married Isaac Learned, was
presumably a descendant of the Suffolk Sterne family, the corruption
in the spelling of the name having doubtless originated in America. On
the parish records of Nayland, County Suffolk, there is the following
record according to H. G. Somerby:

"Baptized, Jan. 6, 1626 (English records are said to give this
date
Jan. 26, 1626) Mary, daughter of Isaac Sternes."
"Baptized, Oct. 5, 1628, Anna, daughter of Isaac Sternes."

These names and dates correspond with the names and supposed ages of
the first two children of Isaac Stearns of Watertown, excepting that
on the Watertown record the name of the second child is given Hannah;
but the names Anna and Hannah were often used interchangeably on the
old records.

Isaac Stearns came to America in 1630, in the ship Arabella with Gov.
Winthrop and Sir Richard Saltonstall. He settled in Watertown, where
he was admitted freeman, May 18th, 1631. He was a selectman for
several years and in 1647, he and a Mr. William Biscoe or Briscoe,
were appointed to arrange for the building of a bridge over the river
at Watertown. He died June 19, 1671, leaving his widow Mary (Barker)
Stearns, who died April 2, 1677. His will is dated five days before
his death. The signature to his will is written Sternes.

Notes for Henry ADAMS
From Adams-L:
Henry 1) ADAMS born abt 1583 at Barton St David, Somersetshire,England he was buried 8 oct 1646 at Braintree, Norfolk, MA. He was theimmigrant to NE in 1638, and was the ancestor of two US Presidents.The earliest record of Henry was in 1604 when he was executor of hisfather's will, at that time he was at least 21 years of age. Hemarried Edith SQUIRE 19 Oct 1609 at Charlton Mackrell an ajoiningparish in Somersetshrie. She was the d/o Henry SQUIRE, husbandman andblacksmith of tha parish.

Except for the bp of three of his children, only two records werefound where he was mentioned. In 1609 he was co-executor of hisbrother John's will and his marriage bond in 1609, with his signiture.Between 1614 and 1622 he moved to the ajoining parish of Kingwestonwhere his youngest
children were bp [1622-1629].

There is a mural memorial in the church of Barton St. David inSomersetshire, England in honor of Henry 1) ADAMS, placed there byEdward Dean ADAMS of New York in 1926. It says:

"To the glory of God in honour of St. David and in memory of HENRYADAMS born in this parish abt 1683 and a founder of New England 1638Ancestor of two Presidents exalted services to their country evoketestimony of respect of their ancestral home this memorial has been
erected by Edward Dean Adams A. D. 1926"

Henry was in Barton St. Davis [Somersetshire] when son Thomas was bp25 march 1612, and in nearby Kingweston when son John was bp 10 Dec1622, and son Edward was bp in 1638. Neither Rev. Thomas HIGGINS,vicar of Barton St. David, nor Rev. Paul GOODWIN, rector of Kingweston(1619-1645) were Puritans, so it seems the influence of hissister-in-law, Ann (SQUIRE) PURCHASE caused him to come to New Englandwith his family in 1638, except for his son Jonathan. The year of hisremoval is fixed by a deposition in 1656 by his son, John ADAMS, whostated that he had known a certain field in Cambridge (MA) since 1638.The earliest record of Henry in New England was 24 Feb 1639/40, whenhe was granted 40 acres of Braintree (now Quincy), for a family of tenheads; himself, wife Edith, sons; Henry, Thomas, Samuel, Peter, John,Joseph and Edward, and dau Urusla.

Henry Adams is also the ancestor of Calvin Coolidge, Millard Fillmore,William Howard Taft, and Vice President Dick Cheney

a Maltster and Farmer the son of John and Agnes (Stone) Adams,grandson of Henry Adams, and great-grandson of John Adams all ofBarton Saint David was born about 1583 at Barton Saint David, England,where at least four generations of his ancestors had lived, and wherehe was born on the twenty-first day of January 1583. At the age oftwenty-six he married Edith Squire on the nineteenth day of October1609, at Charlton Mackrell, England.

Henry as a young farmer had held some land by the English system ofCopy-hold, from the Lord of the Manor of Barren Saint David. He wasappointed an executor of his father's will, on the nineteenth day ofMarch 1604. He was mentioned on the ninth day of May 1609 as anexecutor of the will of his brother John.

It is believed that, Henry was inspired to emigrate to New England, byone of the great promoters of emigration in southwestern England, theReverend John White, rector of Holy Trinity Church, Dorchester, CountyDorset, who represented the moderate conforming clergy in the greatreligious controversies which preceded the Civil War in England. Hisinfluence extended all over that region and he advocated as early as1622 the colonialization of New England for spiritual and materialreasons, believing that it could be a haven, as well fornonconformists as for loyal Churchmen. He organized the "DorchesterAdventurers" in 1623, a commercial company which was to operate atCape Ann, and thereafter he was active in promotion of this and likeenterprise, including that of the Massachusetts Bay Company itself.Among his parishioners was one Aquila Purchase, master of TrinitySchool, Dorchester, England, 1625-1633, whose brother Thomas Purchase,also of Dorchester, was an emigrant to New England as early as 1626,settling at what is now Brunswick, Maine. In some way, probablthroughemployment as a teacher in the vicinity of King Weston, from 1612 to1614, Aquila Purchase met and married there, on the twenty-eighth dayof January 1614, Anne Squire, sister of Edith Squire, and thus becamethe brother-in-law of Henry. In March 1633, Aquila Purchase with hiswife and children emigrated for Dorchester, Massachusetts. But he diedeither during the voyage or soon after arrival, as on the fifth day ofAugust 1633, "Widow Purchase" was granted four acres of land.Doubtless this emigration and letters from her to her family inEngland, setting forth the advantages of New England, caused theemigration in 1638 of her two sisters Edith and Margaret with theirhusbands, Henry Adams and John Shepherd, and their children.

Whatever may have been the impelling influence, in 1638. Henry and hiswife, Edith and all his children (except his son Jonathan) emigratedto Boston and settled at Braintree, Massachusetts. He had invested hismoney in the development of the town as a Proprietor and on thetwenty-fourth day of February 1639, he received forty acres, his shareof the land that had been held in common.

Henry took interest in town affairs, being elected the first TownClerk of Braintree, in 1643. Being free to do what was in hisself-interest, he and his descendants were illustrious in ColonialHistory. His great grandson John Adams, in collaboration with ThomasJefferson, drew up the Declaration of Independence and was one of itssigners, he was prominent in the Revolutionary War and was secondPresident of the United States, his son John Quincy Adams, was oursixth President. Henry was listed as a Maltster (One who makes orsells malt) and a Yeoman.

Henry at the age of sixty-three died on the sixth day of October 1646,at Braintree, and was buried on the eighth day of October, in thelittle churchyard across from the old Braintree Church. His Estate wasvalued at about 75 pounds

Henry Adams* (1583-1646) was born in Barton St. David, Somersetshire,England. He is the youngest of 4 children of John Adams* (1555-1604)also of Barton St. David, and Agnes Stone* (___?-1615/16).
Henry and all his known ancestors were Yeomen famers from Barton St.David, Somersetshire, England. Henry was also a maltster. Henry cameto America with his wife and all but one (Jonathan) of his children in1638. His son, Jonathan came in 1651.

Henry Adams was known popularly as The Founder of New England,probably because of the extraordinary number (89) of hisgrandchildren. Apparently, Henry Adams was influenced by AquilaPurchase, Master of Trinity School at Dorchester, who in 1613/14married Anna Squire, sister to Henry's wife, Edith Squire*, bothdaughters of Henry Squire*. Henry Squire had three daughters whomarried and went to New England, all seemingly associated with a groupknown as the Dorchester Adventurers, led by the Rev. John White, whosefirst group of Dorset Pilgrims arrived in New England on the ship Mary& John in 1630. This group was largely absorbed by the MassachusettsBay Colony in later years, and by the time Henry Adams came in 1638,many of the orginal Dorset Pilgrims, particularly those who would nottake religious oaths as a prerequisite for citizenship, had moved wellinto the interior settling around river valleys in MA and CT along theIndian or Dutch territorial frontiers. Windsor CT was one of theirprincipal settlements.

Henry Adams with his large family seems to have preferred settlingnear the coast and thus stayed in Braintree MA, which is now known asQuincy MA. Henry Adams' biographers do not associate him with the moreradical and religious Puritans, nor with the liberal and outlawedPilgrims, but rather see him and other followers of Rev. John White asadventurers, seeking a new world where the boundarys of a classsociety could be overcome.

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

John Woodbury was born in England, posssibly Somersetshire, and, it isbelieved, came to New England with his eldest son, Humphrey, early,settling first at Cape Ann, then soon at Salem in 1626 under thedirection of Roger Conant. He returned to England the following yearand came back in June, 1628, possibly bringing with him his wife andson William, although these may have come with him originally in 1626.

He was sworn constable 28 Sept. 1629 and requested admission asfreeman 19 Oct. 1630; he took the oath of Freeman 18 May 1631. He wasa representative in 1635 and 1638 and, during this time, his wifelikely died and he married again, having children born in 1636, 1637and 1640. He died in 1641. His will was proved 27 June 1643, but nocopy survives.

Notes for JOHN WOODBURY*:
Some of John's data was taken from a "Sketch of John Page Woodbury" byCharles Jeptha Hall Woodbury. John took the Oath of Freemen on 18 May1631,
C.R., Vol. I. pp. 73, 74. See: N.E.H.G. Register, Book #3, Pg. 90.

John first came over in 1624 on the "Zouch Phenix." According to "ThePlanters
of the Commonwealth," by Charles Edward Banks (Boston, 1930), p. 58:

"She was consort of the 'Unity,' or arrived with her in the spring ofthis
year. It is believed she sailed from Weymouth, and brought thefollowing
passengers, who settled at Cape Anne"* (*Banks MSS).

Representative of Salem in General Court between 1635 and 1639.Selectman and Surveyor. Returned to England in 1627 as Agent for theDorchester
Co.,
(Burke's American Families Pg. #2983).

See: Frederick Virkus's Compendium, Pg. #634...

John is frequently mentioned in the genealogies of other earlysettlers to New
England.

On Sept. 24, 1639, John Woodbury, Peter Palfrey, and John Balch, [3 ofthe
original "Planters"], three of the Salem selectmen, brought civil suitagainst
Isabel Babson. There is no specific charges mentioned, but cases likethis
frequently involved land disputes. (See: The Babson Genealogy1637-1977).

John spent six months in England and, soon after the issuance of thegrant
for their lands on March 19, 1627-8, he sailed for New Englandbringing with
him son, Humphrey. They arrived in Salem on the June 28, following.
See: Gates and Allied Families pp. 823-828.

While searching for more information on John Woodbury, Robin Bushtraced
a marriage license between a John Woodberrie of Dorchester, Dorset,husbandman, and Ann Napper of Hardington, spinster, at Hardington on19 March
1627/8, (ref: D/D/01 26, p. 222, also in D/D/01 25, p.53), It seemslikely that this could be John's second marriage. In the Bishop'stranscripts
for West Coker there are three entries that may be relavent:

John Woodberye & Johan Bishop, married 3 May 1607.
Johan daughter of John Woodberie, bpt. 23 March 1607/8
Humfrey son of John & Joane Woodberry, bpt. 25 July 1611
John Bishopp on 16 Apr 1605 (Johan's 1st husband, father?)

The Old Planters

The earliest history of Salem refers to 4 families as the mostprominent in establishing the groundwork for the city. The heads ofthese families are known as the "Old Planters" and they are generallyaccepted as the "founders" of the City of Salem. A Company ofimmigrants sailed from Dorchester County in Somersetshire, England.The group was known as The Dorchester Company. They first arrived inthe New World in 1624; only 4 years after the pilgrims landed atPlymouth. . The group spent 2 years with the Pilgrims at theMassachusetts Bay Colony before establishing the City of Salem at theport of Cape Ann in 1626. The city later became famous for the Salemwitch trails wherein about 20 people were executed in 1692. Theauthor, Nathaniel Hawthorne was born there in the 17th Century and thecity is also the location of the literary "House of Seven Gables".

When the company first arrived an individual known as Roger Conant wasthe first leader. The first year was beset with difficulties and theproject did not produce profits to the investors who had financed theexpedition of The Dorchester Company. Most of the company wasconsidering abandoning the settlement to look for gold or join withthe Virginia colony to the south where the weather was said to be morefavorable. Mr. Conant determined to stay even if all others desertedhim. Word came back from the investors in England and requested acommitment from some of the others to stay with the settlement. Fourindividuals Roger Conant, John Woodbury, Peter Palfry and John Balch,were described as ‘honest men" and of "good character". The investorscommitted to continue to support the enterprise on the condition thatthese four men would agree to stay and develop the Salem site. A pactwas made and these four men became known as the "four planters" whoestablished the ancient site of Salem Massachusetts.

John Woodbury, The Old Planter

John Woodbury is often referred to as "The old Planter" in cityrecords. He is spoken of with a certain kindly reverence not often tobe looked for in official records, as "brother Woodbry" and as "fatherWoodbry," though by no means an elder in years. In 1627 he returned toEngland to report on the progress and brought new immigrants with him,including his brother William and his family as well as his sonNicolas.

John Woodbury was one of the original members of the 1st Church,Salem, at its formation in 1629. He became a freeman in 1630 andestablished the Salem Police department, being appointed constable inthe same year. One of the original five farms of two hundred acreseach, "by the great pond side," was voted to John Woodbury by thecolony in 1635. In 1635 John Woodbury was appointed one of theoverseers and Layers out of the Lots of ground for the city. In 1637he was chosen one of the selectmen, which office he filled till hisdecease, being present at every meeting of the board, the last onebeing December 3, 1641.

John Woodbury was described as one who "did what one resolute mancould do to defeat the ambition of Richelieu and to give us a NewEngland instead of a New France between the Hudson and the Bay ofFundy and, having accomplished this, died full of honors if not ofyears in 1641."

History of the Salem Police Department
Salem is an old city that holds fast to its traditions. First settledin 1626, only six years after the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth. Salemwas not
incorporated as a city until March 23, 1836. As with all emergingcommunities, the problem of social control existed from the verybeginning in Salem. The first strife in the city resulted from thebanning of Quakers from the colony. And so, in 1630, one John Woodburywas appointed Constable. His work and the work of those who assistedhim was severely tried when a number of Quakers demonstrating againstthe Puritans attempted to break up church services, protesting againsttheir vanities of dress, the Quakers also ran naked down Essex Street.Such offenses were not taken lightly. Three such offenses by oneperson resulted in the death sentence, although records reflect onlythat offenders were ordered from the city.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF MASSACHUSETTS THE MASSACHUSEETS BAY COLONY
A settlement, the first in New England, had already been made atPlymouth, when, three years later, 1623, the Dorchester Company, whichwas dissolved in 1626, established a colony at Cape Ann near what isnow Gloucester. Roger Conant, who was the superintendent of affairsfor the New England Company, soon became satisfied with the settlementand moved to Naumkeag, now Salem. The Dorchester Company wasorganized by the Rev. John White of Dorchester, England. He was ableto convince a number of men of means to contribute three thousandpounds to the company. Upon Conant's arrival in Naumkeag he informedthe Rev. White of the success settlement. Upon approval of the EnglishCrown to the Rev. White a meeting was convened and the subjectdiscussed. Curiously, Mr. Conant, John Woodbury, John Balch, andPeter Palfrey were in favor of moving to Virginia. In doing so Rev.White exceeded his promise of gaining favor from the King, he hadalready received many supplies from England, he ordained a patent, (aright to land) giving to six men, Sir Henry Rolsewell, Sir John Young,John Humphrey, Thomas Southcate, John Endicott and Sam Whitcomb atract of land described as that part of New England lying betweenthree miles north of the Merrimac, and three miles to the south of theCharles River, and of every part thereof, in the Massachusetts Bay;and in length between the described breadth from the Atlantic to theSouth Sea.

John Woodbury had sat under the Episcopalian ministry of the Rev. Mr.Lyford at Cape Ann and at Salem, whose Christian services had been"tolerated" by the brethren of Dorchester adventurers. He joined thefirst church organized at Salem, under the new charter, in 1629, andcontinued a member until his death. The terms "father" and "brother"applied to him in the records show respect for his practicalChristianity.
In connection with the doctrine of "religious toleration" and "civilliberty" of Roger Williams, Woodbury's position demonstrated that his
convictions were with the apostle on this subject, and that he thoughtgenuine piety was not promoted by invoking the arm of the civil poweragainst liberty of conscience. Nowhere do we find him acting thezealot's part.
The reputable positions he occupied in public affairs seem to havebeen gained by his capacity for business and force of character.
Following back to his first coming, selected because of confidence inhis ability, the business men of Dorchester, when they considered the
enterprise had failed, the "miscarriages by land," absolved him fromall blame.
Hubbard is precise that Mr. White solicited Conant, Woodbury, Balchand Palfrey because of their character, to undertake a new settlementat
Nahumkeag, promising them men, goods and supplies, a commendationsustained by his associates.
In 1627, they selected and despatched to England, John Woodbury, toconfer as to the future of the settlement, the supplies, the promised
men and, more than all, the patent which was to secure the enterpriseto those who were bearing the heat and burden of the day. Woodburysailed early in the autumn on some of the returning fishing vessels,arrived in due season at England, and entered on his business.
The deposition of his son Humphrey shows that he visited his friendsand remained some half-year. It cannot be said that as explorer andfirst messenger from this new Canaan of Nahumkeag, he returned"bearing bunches of grapes" nor yet that he bore the Golden Fleece,like Jason, back to native shores, yet it can be assumed that hecarried with him a promising store of beaver skins, which assimilatedto the classic golden fleece in intrinsic value and attraction.

His months of renewed life in that fertile land where his kin resided,brightening his social ties, his return to the luxury of
civilization, was a treat to the Old Planter of Cape Ann. His missionended, with "a comfortable answer" he started to return.
The man who now looks from the hoe at Plymouth or Dorchester, towardAmerica, may think of patent cultivators, reapers, telephones,
telegraphs, gas, electric lights. The man who, in 1628, took his lastlook at the "Scilly," as the good craft, hauled up on her course,said, "My
native land, good night," concerned himself not with these things, yetwas hopeful and at peace.
I cannot aver that he fled from persecution, but I think his mind washeavy with the thought whether he should arrive at Nahumkeag beforehis corn was all planted.
When Endicott came to America Woodbury was one of his first council.On the arrival of the Bay Corporation, he was one of the firstofficers elected. There was energy and vigor about him, and, asCarlyle would say, "no slop." All the town and county businessdevolved on him alone, or with a local committee of his own selection.
Level and uniform in his bearing, assiduity and perseverance markedhis conduct. The continuous occupancy of posts of trust shows hisintegrity and usefulness, and his busy profession as surveyorindicates his ability, practical, mathematical education, and sturdyhealth.
John Woodbury had laid his claim to fame before Endicott came over. Hewas there, an "Old Planter."

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

"John Balch was born in 1578/9 at Bridgewater, Eng, Somerset Cty . Helanded at Wesseguset, Sept 1623. He came to New England in the companyof Capt. Robert Georges, son of Sir Fernandes Georges ofSomersetshire, who with others had obtained a generous grant coveringa large part of the New England coast. Capt. Robert Georges was agentlemen adventurer, (a man of the court) of the Church of Englandand a soldier, not an earnest Puritan seeking religious freedom in thenew world. He hoped to establish a little aristocratic England withEnglish customs & form on the rough coast of the New World. Thecolonists who were farmers, mechanics and traders as well as"gentlemen" & "divines" arrived in Wessegusset, (now Weymouth) in lateSept . But the following spring, Georges with some of his folowersreturned to England, "having found the state of things here," wroteGov Bradford of Plymouth, "not to answer his qualities & conditions,having scarcely saluted the countire in his Governmente." Perhaps JohnBalch returned with him as there is an entry in the register atCuthbert-at-Welles that he returned for a wife in 1625. He and hiswife Margery Lovell made their way to the settlement on Cape Ann nearthe site of Gloucester.

Joined there by Roger Conant, a disaffected member of the Plymouthcolony of Independents, after his enterprise at Cape Ann also went topieces, four men were left to carry on, Balch, Conant, Peter Palfreyand John Woodbury. Led by Conant they went S & W to a place called"Naumkeg" by the Indians. (It was here that his son Benjamin wasborn.) Here they cleared the woods to plant an agricultural settlementand so became the founders of Salem, MA. These "old planters" as theywere called, showed a religious tolerance unusual for the time . Noone of these was said to take part in persecution of Baptists, Quakersand Witches. Balch and his wife, encouraged by White the firstminister at Dorchester, helped Conant found the first Salem church in1629. He took the oath of freeman in 1631. (only church members werefreemen, which meant the church practically governed the town.) Histhird son was born at that time and named Freeborn."

t was 'voted to choose a committee of nine persons to manage yeaffairs of building and finishing sd hous, any five of them agreeing.'It was decided that the house should be forty-eight feet long,thirty-eight feet wide, and twenty-two feet stud. It was afterwardagreed to build the house fifty feet long by forty feet wide if thetimbers would permit.

March 9, 1713-14,1 it was voted to raise money for building the houseand to buy the land. The first owner of the land on which the churchbuilding at North Beverly stands was John Balch, who died in 1648. Itwas next possessed by his son John, who died June 16, 1662, intestate.Administration was granted to Mary Balch, widow. The Court at firstordered that the estate should be divided between the widow, Mary, anda daughter, Mary. March 31, 1663,2 the Court ordered that because'Mary the daughter of John Balch being deceased that Benjamin Balch(brother) after the end of seven years should enjoy all the lands thatbelonged to said John Balch 50 acres more or less, the said Mary toenjoy all the improved land, upland meadow during the term of sevenyears.' This property Benjamin Balch conveyed to his son, BenjaminBalch, February 1, 1688/9.3

Benjamin Balch, Jr., died intestate in 1698, and in the division ofhis estate there were set off two lots, one of three acres and one ofsix and one half acres, assigned to his son Ebenezer.

The three-acre lot assigned to Ebenezer stood on the south side ofConant Street and is now occupied in part by the Bass River Schoollot. The lot of six and one half acres is described in the record asfollows: 'Unto Ebeneezer, son of dec'd nine acres and a half of land,Six acres and a half thereof lying northwesterly from the Countyhighway Commonly called Boston Road and is Bounded South Easterly bysaid Road and East northerly by the land of John Rayment, Secundus,and Northwesterly by the land of Benjamin Balch and west southerly bythe highway that goeth toward Topsfield.'

This lot Ebenezer Balch sold to the 'Precinct of Salem and Beverly,'May 1, 1714.1 An abstract of the record of conveyance is here given:

In the deed conveying the title, it is stated that the lot was in theform of the letter 'L.' On a plan in the possession of Mr. Fred H.Wallis, whose homestead is in the southeastern corner of the lot onConant Street, it may be seen that from a stake at about the drivewaythe long line of the 'L' ran northerly, thence turned westerly, thencesoutherly, thence westerly to near the Cabot Street entrance to thecemetery, thence along Cabot Street, a distance of about four hundredfeet to its junction with Conant Street, thence easterly along ConantStreet to the point of beginning. The plan being incomplete andmeasurements not given, a fair idea of the lot can be had by taking arectangular parallelogram and attaching a shorter one, perhaps halfits size, to one of its sides.

CHAPTER V

THE GARDNER FAMILY.......................................................................... ......................................
Thomas Gardner the planter, who came over from Dorsetshire in 1624 andis known as the first overseer of the plantation at Cape Ann, which in1626 was removed to Salem under Roger Conant. This pioneer settler itwas, who, at a meeting of the London Company on July 28, 1629, wasmentioned as "one Mr. Gardner, an able and expert man in diversfacultyes."

Thomas Gardner was among the original members of the First Church inSalem and became (in 1637) a deputy to the General Court. He was oneof the "twelve men" of the town that same year and throughout his longlife was prominent in town and colony. He died the "29th, 10th month,1674", leaving nine children.2 His son Richard removed to Nantucket in1667, his wife Sarah having been excommunicated from the church inSalem for attending Quaker meetings. His brother John also removed tothat island

6406. Richard* Willard ² was born before 10 Mar 1581 in Horsmonden or Brenchley, Kent Co., England^² and died before 8 Mar 1616 in Horsmonden, Kent Co., England.^²

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

This Willard family resided in the southwesterly part of Kent, in thehundred of Brenchley and Horsmonden, the latter being about 40southeast of London. The name is common in that area of Kent and justover the border in Sussex.

Richard Willard, yeoman, of Kent Co., England married 3 times.According to "Willard Memoir," Joseph Willard, 1858, Richard's firstwife was Catherine, buried 11 March 1598; Margery was the second,buried 12 Dec. 1608; Joan Morebread, widow, was the third, md. 17 Jan.1610 and buried 25 Feb. 1617, a few days after her husband.

The information regarding the marriage of Richard and Margery Humfrie,quoted as follows, is printed in the "Register," Vol 46, pg. 399:"Willard, Richard, of Horsmonden, yeoman, and Margery Humfrie ofMarden, virgin, at Westgate, Sept. 23, 1601." Margery was the motherof Margery, Simon and Catherine.

The will of Richard Willard is dated 12 Feb. 1616 and was provedbefore Edward Pope, vicar general, 8 March 1616. In it he bequeathedto the poor of Horsmonden, to his wife Joan, to her son FrancisMorebread; to his son George Willard six silver spoons and a silverand gilt cup, to be delivered to him after his mother's death; to hisfour daughters, mary, Elizabeth, Margery and catherine, his householdstuff except that bequeathed to his wife; to his son Richard Willardthe income from certain lands; to his daughter Elizabeth a sum ofmoney; to his kinsman Thomas Bolde some woodland; refers to his latebrother Thomas Willarde; mentions "Thomas Humferie, my brother inlawe;" "Robert Goure of Stapelhurste, yeoman, my brother in Lawe;"son-in-law John Tyboull (also named executor); to daughters Margerie &Catherin a barn, close, gardens and orchard which he bought of Wood;to son Symon Willarde, all the rest of his 'messuages and lands whenhe shall come of age;' and "Thomas Rayne, my Kindesman..." (from"Willard Genealogy," Charles Henry Pope, 1915)

"Canterbury Marriage Licenses, first series" lists the following:"Gooer, Robert, of Staplehurst, husbandman, and Ellen Reynes, sameparish, widow, May 16, 1593."

The will appears to confirm that Richard Willard's wife MargeryHumfrie died sometime before the date of his will in 1616; that he'dremarried, a widow, Joan Morebread; and finally that, perhaps, he'dbeen married one more time, to a Goure or Reynes. From information inthe "Willard Genealogy" regarding Richard's father, it appears thatRichard had a sister who'd married a Mr. Bolde, hence the reference toThomas Bolde is his will was likely to his sister's husband or anephew, that sister's son.

The Ipswich Whipples Are from Bocking

The Matthew and John Whipple who settled in Ipswich, MA, wereundoubtedly natives of Bocking. The author visited St. Mary's churchin Bocking and found them in its parish records. He acquired a copy ofMatthew Whipple’s will, proved in 1619, at a record office in London.It states that the family lived on Bradford Street in Bocking andidentifies Matthew, Jr. and John as his sons.

Holman and Marvin3 and Banks10 also place Matthew and John in Bocking.That brothers Matthew and John did not leave England until 1638 isfurther confirmed by the parish records that show that Matthew's sons,John (later known as Lieut. John) and Matthew, were born in Bocking inSeptember 1632 and ca. 1635; and that four of John's children werebaptized there between October 1631 and February 1637/8 (William 2October 1631; Ann 2 June 1633; Judith 4 August 1635; Matthew 7February 1637/38).

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

"1 WILLIAM LEARNED1. The first admission to the present First church
of Charlestown was, according to its records, as follows: "1632, 10
mo., day 6, William Learned and Goodith, his wife, were admitted." (N.
E. H. & G. Reg., vol. xxxiii, page 191). This name Goodith, is said by
Rev. Samuel Sewall to be, not a corrupt spelling of Judith, but an old
English name, from the Saxon, Goditha. It was common at that time. In
one instance, at least, about this period a child, baptised Goodith,
was, however, always called Judith. (Col. Joseph L. Chester.)

"It has been said, but whether upon good authority is not known, that
William Learned came over in Feb., 1624. But this seems improbable,
since his son Isaac was born that month, and his daughter Mary was
buried in England, July, 1625.

"He did not belong to the Boston church. The last admissions to that
church, prior to the going off of the Charlestown residents, are those
of Anne, wife of John Elliott, Thomas and Elizabeth James, and William
Pierce; who doubtless came in the Lion of Sept. 16. (Letter from Hon.
James Savage.)

"The Charlestown members were dismissed Oct. 14, 1632, and formed a
distinct church, Nov. 2, 1632, (Frothingham's, Charlestown, p. 70.)
See the original covenant, stating that the thirty-five persons were
dismissed "the 14th of the eaght moneth, 1632." (N. E. H. & G. Reg.,
vol. xxiii, 190.) It must have been about two months afterwards that
William Learned and his wife were admitted to the church. But in the
Charlestown Records, at page 6 is a list of such as were admitted
inhabitants of the town in 1630, unto whom planting lots were given;
and among them his name appears.

"Mr. Palfrey, however, says that these records are not of the best
authority, not having been made till more than thirty years
afterwards. (Palfrey's New Eng. I., 289, n.) And if this be so, the
later date for the coming over of William Learned is the more
probable, viz, 1632.

"His name also appears in a list of inhabitants, the 9th of January,
1633, and again in 1635 and in 1636. Shares of hay ground were
assigned to him; and again a portion of marsh land, Feb. 11, 1637. In
Wyman's Charlestown Genealogies, vol. ii, p. 611, seven different
parcels of land are described, which belonged to him.

"In 1634, May 14th, he was admitted freeman. His name appears as one
of the signatures to the town order for the appointment of eleven
selectmen, February 13, 1634-1635. (Frothingham's Charlestown, p. 50.)
On Feb. 13, 1635-6, he was appointed a selectman. About this time he
is mentioned with twenty-eight others as having "willingly surrendered
for the good of the town part of their land on Mystic side."

"March 2, 1637, he was chosen one of four, instead of Goodman
Brakenbury, to divide for stinting the common land.

"April 6, 1637, he and Goodman Thomas Ewer, were desired to lay out
widow Wilkin's two acres. About the same time he and several others
were desired "to goe with Mr. Winthrop to lay out bounds between us
and him."

"At the time of the controversy which originated with Mrs. Anne
Hutchinson, when the general court condemned and banished Rev. John
Wheelwright, William Learned was one of the signers of the
remonstrance against that proceeding. (Frothingham's Charlestown 73;
see Palfrey's New England I, 485.) In the minutes of the court, I,
205, it is recorded, "Willi. Larnet, acknowledged his fault in
subscribing the seditious writing and desiring his name to be crossed
out, it was yelded to him and crossed."

"Feb. 12, 1637-8, it was referred to Mr. Greene and to William Learned
to settle Mr. Witherell's wages for the year past. William Witherell
was the schoolmaster.

"1638 the 26 of the 2d moneth, Mr. Increase Nowell, Mr. Zach. Sims,
Mr. Jno. Greene, Mr. John Hayward, Sergt. Ralph Sprague and William
Learned were desired to consider of some things tending toward a body
of laws." As he was thus made one of a commission of some importance,
we may suppose that he was a man of good sense, and as his name has no
title prefixed, he was probably not a man of any high position.

"In 1640 a movement was on foot to settle Woburn. The first meeting
for the purpose was held at the house of Mr. Thomas Greene, December
18th; and town orders were there signed by thirty-two persons, and
among them by William Learned, (spelled by the clerk Lernedt). He was
one of the seven who, the 14th of August, 1642, formed the first
church of Woburn, (Woburn town records; Sewall's Woburn, p. 20;
Johnson's Wonder Working Prov., p 17.) On the 24th of November, it is
recorded that he freely gave up his lot for the use of the town, which
gave it to Thomas Richardson, and agreed to give to William Learned
the like for quantity and quality. It was afterwards ordered that he
should have seventy-two acres laid out to his son Isaac, in recompense
for the sixty-six which he had thus given.

"On the 13th of April, 1643, he was chosen constable and one of the
selectmen; and again February 9, 1644-5. Some additional land was
given him in Sept., 1645. Another order, two months later, says that
he was to have six acres and a half for a house lot and farm in
meadow, and the residence, being sixty acres, "the one-halfe in forest
field and the other halfe in playne field."

"He died March 1, 1646, two days before the selectmen were chosen for
the third term; and thus he held the offices of selectman and
constable at his death. (Qu. 1646-7; as he is named in the town rate,
22d of 10 mo. 1646.) Judging from the age of his daughter, Sarah, he
must have been born as early as 1590; and would thereefor have been at
least 56 at his death. He left a widow who had an annuity. On the 4th
of October, 1648, his son "Isack Lerned was discharged of his accompt
consarning his father, who, deseased, constable." The account had been
settled in part, Sept. 26.

"A petition to the General Court, signed by thirty-six women "of
Malden and Charlestown of the Mystick side," Oct. 28, 1651, in favor
of Rev. Marmaduke Matthews, has among the signatures that of Jane
Learned. (Frothingham's Charlestown, p. 126.)

"The will of Gabriel Wheldon, Malden, 1653, 11, 12, has, as one
witness, Janes Larnard. In N. E. Gen. Reg. vol. xvi., 75, this is
printed "James." But a careful examination is said to show the word to
be Janes. The other witness is John Upham; probably the same with the
appraiser mentioned below. A fac simile is here given.

"In Middlesex County Records, under date of 1660, 11 mo., 24 day,
appears the death of "Widow Sarah Learned, of Malden." (N. E. Gen.
Reg., vol. x., 162.)

"An inventory of the estate of Widow Jane Learned, deceased, in
Malden, was made 12 mo., 1660, of which Job Laine and John Upham were
appraisers and administration was granted 1661, 2 mo., 2 day, to Ralph
Shepard. This Ralph Shepard may probably be the person who came from
London in 1635, and who d. Sept. 11, 1693, ae. 90, and was buried at
Malden. (N. E. Gen. Reg., vol. iv., 66; Savage Gen. Dict.)

"This inventory amounts to £41, 18s. 11d., and includes an item,
"Widow Learned, at Chelmsford, debtor, £6." (Appendix A.)

"By the inventory of Isaac2 Learned's estate, mentioned hereafter, it
will be seen that he was indebted to the Widow Learned three pounds
per annum during her widowhood. That was undoubtedly an indebtedness
to the widow of his father, William1, with which he had been charged
either by the will of his father or on the settlement of the estate.
In 1660 Isaac2 was dead and his estate, since April 6, 1658, had been
in the hands of his widow, Mary, and her father, Isaac Steans, as
administratrix and administrator. This Mary, not then married to her
second husband, Burg, must have been the "Widow Learned at Chelmsford,
" who was indebted to the estate of Widow Jane Learned, deceased; and
the £6 for which she was thus indebted were probably the two years'
annuity, which had accrued since the death of Isaac. We may therefore
feel confident that Jane Learned, whose inventory is above mentioned,
was the widow of William1. Probably, also, "Widow Sarah Learned,"
mentioned in the Middlesex records, is the same person, the dates come
so closely together. There is not, so far as can be learned, any one
except William1 Learned whose widow either of these could be. It is
not unreasonable to believe that the witness to the Wheldon will was
also the same; and that "Janes" was in some way written for "Jane." If
so, "Sarah" is perhaps a mistake. (Bond's Watertown; Barry's
Framingham.) Jane may have been a second wife of William1. Nothing is
known of Goodith except her admission to the church, as mentioned
above. It may be that Jane and Goodith are the same person."

Bermondsey records, and from Dr. Lathrop's diary. It is not probable,
therefore, that it was a corruption of Leonard."

JOHN STONE;
Born in Nayland Suffolk Co., England and baptized on July 31, 1618.When about 17 years of age he
accompanied his father to New England in 1635, and presumably spentthe remainder of his minority with the latter in Watertown andCambridge, Mass. On becoming of age in 1639, he married and
was evidently then advanced by his father a portion of his patrimonywith which he established himself in the new town of Sudbury, mass.The site of his homestead has been located but only traces now remainof any building, there are fragment of crudely made bricks, probablyremnants of a chimney or hearth.
John Stone lived here about 7 years and in 1646 he sold all hisproperty in Sudbury to John Moore. In 1647 he removed up the SudburyRiver into the then primeval wilderness and built a house
in what is now Framingham. Being the first settler within the limitsof what later became this town. This whole region for the next 30years was inhabited by less than a dozen families and was legallywithin no township but the inhabitants attended Sudbury Church and arementioned in the records of that town. After the close of the KingPhilips War, 1677, the population rapidly increased and in 1700Framingham was incorporated as a town.

At the time John first settled at Otter Neck in 1647, he simplysquatted on the land with no written title either from the ColonyGovernor or from the Indians. But on the 15th of May 1656 he secured adeed from the Indians of about one half dozen acres of land in what isnow Saxonville, which was at once confirmed by the General Court whichalso granted fifty additional acres adjoining. He continued buying andacquired in all nearly a thousand acres covering much of the presentSaxonville.

In 1685, he built a new house near the location of the presentSaxonville railroad station and later he
built houses for his sons in that vicinity. He also built about 1658 adam and gristmill on the falls of the Sudbury River, where the StoneFamily owned the mill privilege for several generations. It thusappears that John Stone was a successful and prosperous farmer, and byindustry and frugality acquired an
extensive landed estate and well established a large family ofchildren.

Living in an unincorporated region during the 25 most important andactive years of his life (1647-1672), John was not prominent in thepublic affairs of Sudbury, the town with which he was associated,except that he served as town clerk in 1655 and was for some years oneof the Deacons in the Sudbury Church. After the death of his father in1672, he removed to Cambridge inheriting his father's homestead thereand in 1682/3 he was chosen a deputy for that town to the Mass.General Court. On November 15, 1682, he was elected one of the tworuling elders of the Cambridge Church, a mark of high esteem in whichhe was held by his fellow townsmen. He died at Cambridge on May 5,1683 at the age of 65years. He was buried in the Old CambridgeCemetery.

JOHN1 LIVERMORE, the ancestor of nearly all the Livermores in theUnited States, embarked at Ipswich, England, for New England, the lastof April, 1634, then aged 28 years, in the "Francis," John Cutting,master, a large portion of the passengers settling in Watertown, Mass.In the list of passengers his name was spelt John Lyuermore. He hadpreviously married, in England, Grace Sherman, a daughter of EdmondSherman(*) and Grace Makin, who had lived both in Dedham andColchester, County Essex. Her father came to New England in 1634, anddied in New Haven, Ct., about 1641. There is a tradition that he cameover without his wife, and that afterwards she came with one or morechildren about 1637.

He was admitted freeman May 6, 1635; on the list his name is writtenLeathermore. It is on a list of very early proprietors of Watertown;this is not dated, but contains the names of many of those who went toWethersfield, Ct., and Dedham, Mass., in 1635 and 1636. In 1635 heremoved to Wethersfield, with other Watertown people, and in 1638 or'39 he removed to Quinnipiac, now New Haven, being one of the originalsettlers, where he was June 4, 1639.

The first notice of him in Connecticut was in 1639, when he, then ofNew Haven, signed the fundamental agreement of the New Haven Colony.In the first "seating the meeting house" in 1642, seats were assignedto John Livermore and to "sister Livermore." From the rule forassessing in New Haven, it appears that John Livermore had a wife andtwo children when he went there or soon after, as he was rated forfour persons (not including servants) and œ100 estate. His home lot,which has been identified, was on the west side of Fleet street, nextbut one to the harbor. He was by trade a potter, and was repeatedly aselectman, and held other offices of trust.

His autograph may be seen in vol. i: page 1, of the Colonial Recordsof New Haven. He was admitted a member of the Court of Elections (madea freeman of the colony) Oct. 29, 1640, and took the oath ofallegiance July 1, 1644. He had liberty to cut wood on "the neck" in1645. On June 11, 1645, it was proposed that another "ordinary" might"be set up towards the waterside" and it was "left with John Livermoreto consider it."(*) About May 25, 1646, he was there and was calledcorporal. On May 4, 1647, he resigned his position as corporal.

His wife was present at a meeting of the General Court held Mar. 10,1646. On May 16, 1647, Joseph Nash was chosen corporal "in room ofJohn Livermore who expects to go to England." His name does not appearin the records again until January, 1649, after an interval of abouttwenty months, and it is probable that he was in England.

On May 7, 1650, John Livermore hath sould and passeth to TheophilusHigginson, his house and house lot 1/2 acre and 10 perches; 8 acres1/4, 15 rods on this side the West River, next the land of RichardBeach; 6 1/2 acres 25 rods, on the other side the West River, nextMilford highway, by the meadow side; 28 acres of the 2d division,betwixt the lands of Edward Banister and Richard Osborn; 5 acres ofmeadow in the West Meadow, next meadow of Henry Gibbons; 3 acres ofmeadow in Solitary Cove, with the work-houses with the land belongingto them; bounded with stump of a tree next the sea, running along thecreek to the end of the house-- being in breadth so wide as the houseis. [Col. Rec., New Haven, ii: page 18.]

He probably left New Haven about the date of this sale. He was a jurorin Watertown in July, 1653. According to a "Map of the OriginalAllotments of land in Watertown proper, compiled and drawn by HenryBond, M. D.," John Livermore owned a lot of 2 acres on the easterlyside of Fresh Pond, and, at a short distance west of the pond, twoother lots, one of 18 acres and one of 13 acres, which he had boughtof William Paine. He also owned lot 11 of the First Great Dividend,containing 70 acres, which he bought of William Paine and bequeathedit to his son Nathaniel. He also owned lot 11 of the Fourth GreatDividend, containing 25 acres, afterwards sold to Miles Nutt; also oneacre of meadow land at Beaverbrook. He was chosen constable, Nov. 6,1654, and held that office for several years. In 1655 he was fined twoshillings because he owned two disorderly hogs. In 1666 he made acomplaint against the town for rating him for his trade, and acommittee of the selectmen was appointed to tender him a hearingbefore any indifferent man or men of his own choosing; but he refusedand would not attend it. He was a selectman of Watertown in 1665, '66,'67, '68 and '69, and one of the prudential committee in 1668. He diedApril 14, 1684, in Watertown, aged 78. His will, proved June 16, 1684,is as follows:--

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

Richard Newton came from England in the summer or fall of 1638, as didmay of those who settled in Sudbury. He must of been 36, 7 or 8 whenhe emigrated - a man in his prime for strength and energy. He did notstop long in the settled towns, but came to Sudbury with the intentionof settling a new town in the company with people he was alreadyacquainted with.
It is evident that he lived in New England sixty-two or three years.And during those years he was as much a factor in establishing thefoundation principles which the colony - and this country - was builtupon, as was any other one man of the time. It was a case where "allwere of one mind."

An "original grantor" of Sudbury, MA By Appointment of theMassachusetts Governor, John and Edmund Rice, he laid out the groundsat Framingham in 1662.
John HOWE was born about 1602 in England. Based on age of death,stated as 78.His son, John was killed by the Indians in 1676, thefirst Mary died young, First Daniel died young, Alexander died soon,Daniel died perhaps at birth and may have been twin to Alexander. Hewas in Sudbury by 1639--and one of the original grantors-- when hereceived grant of a house lot, then shared in the three divisions ofSudbury Meadows, 1639-40. Was a petitioner for a grant of Marlboro,1656, where he removed 1657. His house was about 1/3 mile NE ofSpring-hill Meeting House. Opened a tavern in 1661. By appoint-
ment of the Mass gov/t, he and Edmund Rice laid out the Framinghamlands in 1662.
Marlboro suffered greatly through all the years of Indian warfare.John How's eldest son was killed by them in 1671. His grand-daughter,Elizabeth was at her sister's home assisting her in caring for herinfant neice when they were suprised by the indians in the home. TheIndians seized them both, and later killed the baby. Elizabeth washeld captive for many years in Canada, being ultimately redeemed. Shewas 17 when taken captive. She returned home to marry her longawaiting lover, Thomas Keyes. Her sister, Mrs. Joslyn, and a child twoyears old were murdered a few miles from her home. Elizabeth neverrecovered from the horror and brutality of her sister's death whichshe was obliged to witness. Her own life was spared because of thesuperstitious regard the Indians had for her beautiful voice, andduring her captivity, she was frequently compelled to 'make sweetsound.' She retained for some time the customs of the Indians--theirposture in sitting and their love for the out of doors." He wasmarried to Mary UNKNOWN before 1640 in Sudbury, Middlesex, MA.Children were: John HOWE, Lt. Samuel HOWE, Sarah HOWE, Mary HOWE,Isaac HOWE, Josiah HOWE, Mary HOWE, Thomas HOWE, Daniel HOWE,Alexander HOWE, Eleazer HOWE.

An article in the "Utah Genealogical and Historical Magazine" (V-11,pg. 181) states that "the HOWE people were all very large and of heavyframe and body". Also, the HOWE's can trace their ancestry back to thereign of Henry VII (1456-1509) and held estates in Somerset,Gloucester, Wiltshire, Nottingham, in England and in Fermanaugh inIreland.

He is reputed to have been the first white settler in Marlborough.
He built a cabin east of the Indian planting field, near the site of
the Spring Hill meeting house. He opened the first tavern in town,
well before 1670. He acquired the reputation of good judgment, and
stories are told, such as one in which he was asked to judge on the
disputed ownership of a pumpkin. He split the pumpkin with a knife
and gave half to each party.

6568. Thomas Stanford was born in 1618 in England and died about 1683 in Falmouth, Cumberland, Maine about age 65.

General Notes: Emigrated to America with his brother prior to 1644. Resided inConcord, Massachusetts that year and in Falmouth, Maine in 1656.

Robert and Thomas Stanford are listed in the index of theTopographical Dictionary of 2885 English Emigrants, 1620-1650.

Possible origin of the name Stanford:

In the Garland Record - 1974, Harry Standefer states that a distantrelative of his, Col. Wm. R. Staniford of Virginia, traced the familysurname dating back to the Anglo-Saxon Chronicles. "It belongs to theclass of nature names and is composed of two elements: Stan, meaningstone and Ford meaning a river crossing. Originally it may beconjectured, for example, one William lived by a ford over a river.This ford had, possibly a shallow, stony bottom, or it may have been aford with a series of stepping stones like those at Ambleside in theEnglish District, over which passage was made. From this casualcircumstance this William was designated as William at, or of, orfrom, or by, the stone ford. Then by degrees arose the name ofStanford, Staniford, Staniforth, Standeford and Standiford."

Another selection:

The name of Stanford is believed to be of ancient Saxon origin and tohave been derived from the words stan, meaning "stone", and ford,meaning "a river-crossing". It was undoubtedly first given to a placeanswering that description (there were ten parishes of the name inEngland) and was taken therefrom by its first bearer because of hisresidence there at the time of the adoption of surnames in GreatBritain. It is found in ancient records in the various spellings ofStaniford, Staniforth, Stanforth, Stamforth, Standiford, Stanniford,Staynfor, Stanforde, Standford and Stanford, of which the form lastmentioned is that most generally used in America today.

Families of this name were resident at early dates in the counties ofYork, Stafford, Oxford, Huntington, Warwick, Leicester, Somerset andLondon. They were, for the most part, of the landed gentry andyeomanry of England.

Among the early records of the family in England are those of Adam deStanford, of Oxford County in 1273; Symon de Stanford of Hunts aboutthe same time; Florentia de Stanford of Somersetshire in the time ofKing Edward the Third of England; Henricus and Johannes de Staynfordof Yorkshire in 1379; Thomas Stanford of Leicestershire about thebeginning of the fifteenth century (who was the father of, amongothers, Thomas, who was the grandfather of John, who had a son namedJohn, who was the father of Thomas Stanford, who was living in theyear 1619); Thomas Stanniford of Oxford County in 1622; and ThomasStandford of London in the early seventeenth century, who was thefather of a son named George.

While it is not definitely known from which of the several lines ofthe family in England the first emigrants of the name to Americatraced their descent, it appears from old records that the Stanfordswere well represented among the earliest British settlers in the NewWorld.

....

Among the early immigrants was Thomas Stanford of Concord, MA, in theyear 1644. He is believed to have moved to Maine about 1652 and mayhave been related to the Robert Stanford, who was at Falmouth Neck, MEat that time. Of these, Robert was probably, the father of the RobertStanford who was living at Marshfield, CT in 1680. This last Robertwas married in that year to the widow Mary Williamson, by whom he had,among others a son named Robert.

Another Thomas Stanford was living at Charlestown, MA, as early as1680 and it is thought probable that he was the son of thelast-mentioned Thomas, but this is not certain. Thomas, ofCharlestown married the widow Sarah (nee Couch) Jones and had issue byher, David, Richard, Rebecca, Elizabeth, Samuel and Martha.

Of these children, the eldest son David was married in 1712 to LydiaMorse, by whom he had, among others, a son named Caleb, who settled inNew Hampshire.

Familysearch has two Stanford families in England with children namedThomas and Robert, which fit into this time frame:

1. Robert (b. 26 Jun 1608, St. Botolph, Bishopsgate, London) andThomas (b. 3 Sep 1616, same), sons of William and Martha Stanford;

2. Thomas (b. 4 July 1616, Burnsall, Yorkshire) and Robert (b. 3 Jun1619, St. Martin, Leicester, England) sons of Henry Stanford.

One of these is possibly our line.

There are two Stanford coats of arms of whixh I am aware. The one withthe diamond and horizontal lines patterns is from an internet website. The one with the three goats was in the possession of my mother,Betty Stanford Motteler. The symbolism of the goat: Emblem of thatmartial man who wins a victory by the employment rather of policy thanvalor.

According to Aunt Mildred:

Captain George Barbour (Barber), "a Puritan of distinction," arrivedin this country in 1635 and was one of the first settlers in Dedhamand Medfield, Massachusetts. He was the chief military officer of thedistrict, a Captain in King Philip's War, Deputy to the General Court,and one of the founders of Medfield. His history is contained in theBarbour Genealogy (unpublished), a typewritten copy of which is onfile at the Congressional Library at Washington, D. C.

George married Elisabeth Clarke, daughter of THOMAS CLARKE and MARY CANNE, on 14 Nov 1641 in Dedham, Massachusetts. Elisabeth was born in 1620 in Barnham, Norfolk, England and died on 22 Dec 1683 in Dedham, Massachusetts at age 63.

6575. Elisabeth Clarke, daughter of THOMAS CLARKE and MARY CANNE, was born in 1620 in Barnham, Norfolk, England and died on 22 Dec 1683 in Dedham, Massachusetts at age 63.

General Notes: Most online sources of the ancestry of Elisabeth Clarke at this time(early 2003) are incorrect. Many online sources give Rowland Clarkeand Mary Hobart as the names of her parents. However, there are twobirthdates given for Rowland, 1570 and 1607 (undoubtedly too late).The latter records still often list Mary Hobart as having been born in1572. Would he have married a woman 35 years older than himself? Moreplausible records, to me, though they are definitely in the minorityonline, list her parents as Thomas Clarke and Mary Canne, and the1607-born Rowland as her brother. These are mostly correct. Theancestry I give here is based on an article in NEHGR.

How George got from Virginia to Massachusetts and how she got therefrom Bermuda are unknown.

Elisabeth married George Barbour, son of Thomas Barbour and Jane [Barbour], on 14 Nov 1641 in Dedham, Massachusetts. George was born on 28 Dec 1613 in Harleston, Fessingfield, Middlesex, England and died on 13 Apr 1685 in Dedham, Massachusetts at age 71.

6590. Humphrey Atherton was born in 1609 in Preston, co. Lancashire, England and died on 17 Sep 1661 in Dorchester, Suffolk Co, Massachusetts at age 52.

General Notes: From Wikipedia

Major-General Humphrey Atherton, ( ca.1608 – September 16, 1661) anearly settler of Dorchester, Massachusetts, held the highest militaryrank in colonial New England.[1][2] He first appeared in the recordsof Dorchester on March 18, 1637 and made freeman May 2, 1638.[2] Hebecame deputy governor, a representative in the General Court, in 1638and 1639–41. In 1653, he was Speaker of the House, representingSpringfield, Massachusetts. He was chosen assistant governor,[1] amember of the lower house of the General Court who also served asmagistrate in the judiciary of colonial government,[3] in 1654, andremained as such until his death."[4] He was a member of the Ancientand Honorable Artillery Company of Massachusetts and held the ranks oflieutenant and captain for several years before rising to the rank ofmajor-general. He also organized the first militia inMassachusetts.[1][2]

It is unclear where and when Atherton was born. It is presumed he camefrom Lancashire, England.[5] He was active in the governance of thecolony, taking part in the acquisition of Native American lands,[2]the persecution of Quakers,[6] and the apprehension and convictions ofheretics.[7] His accidental death was seen by the Quakers as apunishment from God for his persecution of them,[8] an idea repeatedin a play by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. He was one of the mostsuccessful land speculators in the New England colonies.[9] He and hiswife, Mary, had a number of children and several New England familieshave traced their ancestry to them. He is interred at Dorchester NorthBurying Ground, one of the oldest cemeteries in New England.[10]

Origin and emigration

Humphrey Atherton's date and place of birth are uncertain. It has beenpresumed that he was born in Lancashire, England, because the nameAtherton is prominent there.[5] The date of 1608 is sometimes given ashis date of birth because Edmund Atherton of Wigan Lancashire, Englanddied in 1612 leaving, as his heir, a four-year-old son named Humphrey.However, Duane Hamilton Hurd, in History of Norfolk County,Massachusetts stated that Atherton was 36 years old when he died in1661.[11] On the other hand, Charles Samuel Hall in Hall Ancestry,pointed out that when Atherton was made freeman and was grantedproperty in 1638, "he must at that time reached his majority."[4]

A descendant of his, Charles H. Atherton, said that Humphrey Atherton,his wife and three young children arrived at the colony in the shipJames, August 7, 1635,[12] but there is no record of this.[5] Hisdescendant further said that Atherton and his wife were each about 15years old when they were married.[12]

There is a record of Nathaniel Wales having voyaged on the James.Wales referred to Humphrey Atherton as his "brother-in-law" in hiswill, so it has been assumed that Atherton's wife, Mary, was Wales'sister. However, the term may have been used because Atherton'sdaughter, Isabel, was married to Nathaniel Wales, Jr.[13] The identityof his wife is unknown.[5]
[edit] Political and military life

Atherton had a very active public life having power and taking part inthe law making, enforcing and interpreting affairs of the colony.Subsequent to his acceptance as a freeman, in 1638, he was frequentlyselectman or treasurer,[2] and for several years a member of the Courtof Assistants which gave him a say in the appointment of governors aswell as judicial power in criminal and civil matters.[3] In 1638 and1639–41 he was deputy governor in the General Court, and in 1653, hewas Speaker of the House,[1] leader of the Court of Deputies, whichwas the lower house of the General Court, representing Springfield,Massachusetts. He was also "long a justice of the peace, andsolemnized many marriages".[2] One of the marriages over which heofficiated was that of Myles Standish, Jr. and Sarah Winslow.[14]

Atherton was a member of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery and heorganized the first trained band (militia) in Dorchester. AsMajor-General in the Suffolk Regiment, he was the senior militaryofficer in New England.[7] which included the responsibilities ofsubduing and controlling Native Americans[2] and apprehendingcriminals, such as those accused of heresy.[7]

In 1644 he [Atherton] was sent, with Captains Johnson and Cook, toNarragansett to arrest and try Samuel Gorton for heresy. It is hopedthat Gorton's complaint of his treatment was exaggerated, for he said,in passing through Dorchester. 'A large concourse of persons assembledwith several ministers to witness the passage of the troops, and theprisoners were stationed apart and volleys of musketry fired overtheir heads in token of victory.' "[7

Other persecutions
Execution of Ann Hibbins on Boston Common, June 19, 1656. Sketch byF.T. Merril, 1886

Harlow Elliot Woodword, in Epitaphs from the Old Burying Ground inDorchester, said that Atherton had believed in witches and "felt it tobe a duty which he owed to God and to his Country to mete out to thepoor creatures, against whom accusations were brought, the punishment,which, in his opinion, they so richly merited." [5] Woodward saidthat, in his capacity as assistant, Atherton had been instrumental inbringing about the execution of Mrs. Ann Hibbins,[5] a wealthy widow,who was executed for witchcraft on June 19, 1656.[15] Hibbins waslater fictionalized in Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter. Inthat book she was depicted as the sister of GovernorBellingham.[16][17]

Atherton was involved in the persecution of Quakers[6] and there aretwo incidents in particular that the Quakers wrote about inrelationship to Atherton. First, the case of Mary Dyer, a Quaker whowas executed in 1660 after returning to Boston despite banishment.Atherton was assistant governor at the time, and at her hanging he wassaid to have remarked, "She hangs there like a flag."[18] The Quakersunderstood this comment to be an insulting boast.[19]

Secondly, there was the case of Wenlock Christison, a Quaker who hadrepeatedly returned to Massachusetts despite banishment, whose trialin May, 1661 put an end to the execution of Quakers. He was sentencedto death, but the law was changed soon after, and he was not executed.He was the last Quaker to be sentenced to death in Massachusetts. TheQuakers believed that during an altercation between the accused andAtherton at the trial, Christison prophesied the outcome of his trialas well as the circumstances of Atherton's untimely death. Quakerwriter George Bishop wrote, "Yea, Wenlock Christison, though they didnot put him to death, yet they sentenced him to die, so that theircruel purposes were nevertheless. I cannot forbear to mention what hespoke, being so prophetical, not only as to the judgment of God comingon Major-general Adderton, but as to their putting any more Quakers todeath after they had passed sentence on him."[8] Henry WadsworthLongfellow recreated the Christison trial in his play John Endicott

which included the damnation of Atherton by the accused.[20]
[edit] Relationship with Native Americans
Native American tribal territory during colonial period

Ebenezer Clapp, in The History of Dorchester said of Atherton, "He hadgreat experience and skill in the treatment of the Indians, with whomhis public duties brought him in frequent contact. He manifested muchhumanity and sympathy for their ignorant and degraded condition, butexercised great energy and decision of character when necessary."[12]In 1637 the colonists had sided with the Mohegans in the Pequot War,which wiped out most of the Pequot people. By the early 1640s tensionswere building between the Mohegans and the Narragansetts. "In 1645,the New England Colonies met by representatives to consult upon theIndian problem, and appointed a Council of War; Capt. Miles Standish,of Plymouth, was chairman. Mason of Connecticut, Leverett and Athertonof Massachusetts, were the other councilors".[2]

The New England colonies, with the exception of Rhode Island, formed aconfederation called "The Four United Colonies of New England". RhodeIsland, according to The Proceedings of the Rhode Island HistoricalSociety, 1881–1882, was excluded, not for reasons of religiousdifferences, but because its founder, Roger Williams, had beenbanished from Massachusetts "for denying the right of the magistratesto take the lands of the Indians with out compensating theowners".[21] The United Colonies obtained Narragansett lands withinthe boundaries of Rhode Island by putting in motion a series of eventsthat began with their promise of aid to the Mohegan Sachem, Uncas,whom they had supported during the Pequot War, if he declared waragainst the Narragansett Sachem, Miantinomo. During the ensuing war,Miantinomo was captured and brought to the commissioners of the FourUnited Colonies at Hartford. "After obtaining him as a captive, theycould find no excuse for putting him to death; and, to avoid theresponsibility, they referred his case for decision to a convention ofministers in Boston; [sic] Winthrop states, 'Miantinomo was killednear Hartford by a blow on the back of his head with a hatchet.' "[21]
Uncas and Miantinomo

The Connecticut settlers demanded land from Uncas in return for theirassistance to him. "Trumbull states, 'Mr. Leffingwell obtained nearlythe whole township of Norwich for his services.'"[21] Miantinomo'ssuccessor, Pessicus, declared war against Uncas and the colonies finedhim 2000 fathoms of wampum for causing the hostilities, which he wasunable to pay."[21]

"Humphrey Atherton was sent by the commissioners of the Four Colonies,with twenty armed men, to enforce the payment. As stated in Arnold'shistory of Rhode Island (vol. i., p. 199), 'Atherton forced his way,pistol in hand, into the wigwam, and, seizing the Sachem by the hair,dragged him out, threatening instant death if any resistance wasoffered.' The debt was settled by Pessicus giving a mortgage of allhis lands to the commissioners of the Four Colonies."[21]

In 1658, Atherton came into contact with Native Americans again whenhe was appointed by the General Court to the post of Superintendent ofIndian Affairs, overseeing the praying Indians; Nipmuck Indians whohad been converted to Christianity by John Eliot.[22] He held thatposition until his death. "Though a terror to warlike Indians, yet hewas the trusted friend of all who were well disposed, helping on theireducation and Christianizing, and guarding their rights, so that hehad immense personal influence with them, and was a successfultreaty-maker".[2]
[edit] Land speculation

Humphrey Atherton was a successful land speculator. The land he ownedin Dorchester included a large portion of South Boston. He also owneda share in what became Milton, Massachusetts. The General Courtawarded 500 acres (2.0 km2) to him for his public service, but becausesome of it impeded the town on Hadley, Massachusetts, he was given anew grant that had an additional 200 acres (0.81 km2). Since he hadrepresented Springfield in the General Court, he probably owned landin Springfield as well. When he died, his estate was worth 900 pounds,not including much of his land.[23]

Atherton "played a key role in fighting and removing Indians from landhe later owned." [24] In 1659, he and some friends, includingConnecticut Governor, John Winthrop, Jr., made some illegal purchasesof land from Native Americans in Rhode Island. The group, referred toas the Atherton Company, circumvented the law by making the purchasesappear to be gifts.[23]

In 1660, commissioners of the Four Colonies, of whom John Winthrop,Jr. was one, transferred ownership of the mortgage of Pessicus's landto the Atherton Company for 735 fathoms of wampum. The Company thenforeclosed on the mortgage. The land included the Narragansettproperty within the bounds of Rhode Island. Rhode Island found thistransference of land to be illegal and prevented the sale of the landfor several years. The company, which changed its name to "Proprietorsof the Narragansett Country," eventually did sell 5,000 acres (20 km2)of the land to Huguenot immigrants who began a colony there calledFrenchtown. The Huguenots lost the land when, in 1688, a RoyalCommission determined the Atherton claim to be illegal.[21]
[edit] Death
Dorchester North Burying Place, where Major-General Humphrey Athertonis interred

Humphrey Atherton died, September 16, 1661, from head injuriessustained in a fall from his horse. He was traveling through BostonCommon, on his way home after drilling his troops when his mountcollided with a cow.[1][2][12]

Woodward, aforementioned author of Epitaphs from the Old BuryingGround in Dorchester, said that because of Atherton's persecution ofthe Quakers, "they believed his horrible death to be God's visitationof wrath."[5] Woodword credits James Besse, a Quaker author, with thefollowing account of Atherton's death:

"'Humfray Adderton, who at the trial of Wenlock Christison, did, as itwere, bid defiance to Heaven, by saying to Wenlock, 'You pronounceWoes and Judgements, and those that are gone before you pronouncedWoes and Judgements; but the Judgements of the Lord God are not uponus yet,' was suddenly surprised: having been, on a certain day,exercising his men with much pomp and ostentation, he was returninghome in the evening, near the place where they usually loosed theQuakers from the cart, after they had whipped them, his horse,suddenly affrighted, threw him with such violence, that he instantlydied; his eyes being dashed out of his head, and his brains coming outof his nose, his tongue hanging out at his mouth, and the bloodrunning out at his ears: Being taken up and brought into theCourthouse, the place where he had been active in sentencing theinnocent to death, his blood ran through the floor, exhibiting to thespectators a shocking instance of the Divine vengeance against adaring and hardened persecutor; that made a fearful example of thatdivine judgment, which, when forewarned of, he had openly despised,and treated with disdain.' " [5][25]

Longfellow repeated this sentiment in his account of Atherton's deathin the final scene of John Endicott. In the scene Governor Endicott,while speaking to Richard Bellingham, asks if it is true that HumphreyAtherton is dead. Bellingham confirms that he is and adds, "His horsetook fright, and threw him to the ground, so that his brains weredashed about the street."[26] Endicott responds, "I am notsuperstitions, Bellingham, and yet I tremble lest it may have been ajudgment on him."[26]

Humphrey Atherton, whose wife, Mary died in 1672.[13] is interred atthe Dorchester North Burying Place in Boston. Engraved upon histombstone are the following words:

Here lies our Captain & Major of Suffolk was withall;
A godly magistrate was he, and Major General;
Two troop horse with him here comes, such worth his love did crave
Two companies of foot also mourning march to his grave,
Let all that read be sure to keep the faith as he has done
With Christ he lives now crowned, his name was Humphrey Atherton.[1]

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

ROBERT CROSBY, the emigrant, was baptized 30 Oct. 1596 inHolme-on-Spaulding Moor, Yorkshire, Eng. and died before 1642,probably in Rowley, Essex Co., MA.

On 13 Feb. 1606/07, at the age of 9, after the deaths of his fatherand older sister, Robert Crosby was assigned into the guardianship ofJohn Webster, possibly of Holme and possibly his uncle. He was alsonamed as co-administrator of his father's estate. Robert's mother Janewas probably still alive at this time but nothing in Prindle's articleindicates when or where she died.

Robert married CONSTANCE BRIGHAM in about 1622 in Holme-on-SpauldingMoor, Yorkshire, Eng. Constance was born about 1601, probably inHolme, and was buried on 25 Jan. 1683/84 in Rowley, Essex Co., MA. Shewas the daughter of THOMAS BRIGHAM and ISABEL WATSON ofHolme-on-Spaulding Moor.

I've been unable to discover when Robert Crosby brought his wife andfamily to New England. But Hannah, the youngest of his children wasbapt. in 31 Oct. 1634 in Holme-On-Spaulding Moor. So they would havehad to have emigrated after that date. They settled in Rowley, EssexCo., MA. where Robert was dead by 1642. This date is used becauseConstance recieved a grant of an acre and a half house lot in 1643. In1674 Constance consented to the choice of Daniel Wickham as theguardian for her orphaned grand daughter Sarah Longhorne (sic).Constance was listed as a Freeholder in Rowley on 28 Jan. 1677.

As quoted from Mrs. Watkins' notes: "William and Mabel left London on4 Jul 1635 on ship "Defence", arriving in Boston 6 Oct 1635, when hewas 45 & she 30 yrs old. They first lived in Dorchester, settlingthere 2 Sep 1635. They bought house & 60 acres of land in Woburn on 5Jul 1648 & removed there.

His will dated 9 Apr 1656 was probably made out in London but recordedin
Charlestown 31 Oct 1656. He bequeathed to his wife and to his fouryoungest
children, and to his three children already married in New England,viz:
George, Ralph money due him from William Benton and others."

"The family moved from Dorchester to Scituate when he was Constable(1644).
They were probably residents of Muddy River (now Brookline) in 1648 .He and
his wife returned to England where he died in 1656 inNewcastle-on-Tyne."

"At the time of William's death, his estate was the largest in NewEngland at the time (L=400). His farm in Woburn contained 50 acres ofupland, 4 acres of meadow before the door, 4 acres in Rockbrook , 2acres in Brook Meadow. The farm was located on the old road from Salemto Concord.

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

John Tidd and his family were a part of the "Great Migration."

Per "Tidds of Ohio":
During the 1630's two hundred ships carrying nearly twenty thousandcolonists with their belongings and supplies, came to theMassachusetts Bay Colony, making it the richest and the strongest ofany of the early English settlements. While it is true that the desirefor religious freedom figured prominently among the causes which ledto colonization; nevertheless, it must be recognized that largenumbers of people came to these shores seeking opportunities toestablish homes and make their living unfettered by the conflicts andrestrictions of Stuart Kings....
within seven years by fur-trading and fishing, the colonists paid offtheir debt to London merchants.

One of the founders of Woburn, MA in 1642. Sgt and surveyor of fences.In 1646 he had the task of ringing the bell for church and townmeetings. In 1647 he helped collect the local taxes. All informationpoints to the conclusion that John Tidd was a prominent and respectedcitizen of Woburn; and that he was fairly prosperous is evidenced bythe fact that at his death in 1656 his net worth was appraised atL163.

Per Merton I. Tidds research (punctuation changed)-actually "Tidds ofOH"
When Thomas Hooker led his petitioners to form settlements on theConnecticut River, both Joseph and James Tidd joined this group. OldJohn Tidd as he was called, gave each of his sons L5. Old John had arun in with his son James. Old John Tidd wanted James to be a tailorand carry on his tailor business in Woburn, but James wanted to poundiron and Joseph wanted to work in the clay pits. James and Joseph bothsettled on the long river in the back country of Massachusetts, bothmarried, had children and spent the rest of their lives on theConnecticut River."

John, Jr., son of John and Annis Dane, b. Berkhampstead, Eng. 1612, d.Ipswich,
MA 29 Sept 1684, says of John Tidd, "A Mr. Tead or Tidd, whoafterwards settled
in Charlestown, MA, was, about the year 1630, a tailor in business atHertford,
Hertfordshire, Eng. He was a young man then." And in his Narrative, hementions, "I then Rout with M' Tead, that Liues at Charlstoune. He wasa young man then. He and I was going to a dansing on nite and it beganto thunder and I tould him I doubted we ware not in our waie; and heand I went back againe."

John Tidd, tailor, might have embarked 12 May 1637 at Yarmouth in theIsle of
Wight and settled at Charlestown, where he was a proprietor in 1637and the next year owned eight lots, the sixth of which was inWaterfield (now Woburn).
Removed to Woburn, where he subscribed to "Town Orders" Dec., 1640;freeman 10 May 1643; on the Country Rate 8 Sept. 1645; Surveyor ofFences, 1646; petitioned General Court regarding land, 1648.

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

From A Sturges Family Story:
One school says Edward Sturgis Sr. was born and married inNorthamptonshire
and brought children to America. He married an Alice or Elizabeth.
The other school says he was born in Kent and married in 1640 inAmerica,
the wife being Elizabeth Hinckley, baptized at Harrietsham, CountyKent,
England, Sept. 20, 1617; daughter of Thomas and Anna Hinckley andniece of
Samual Hinckley. Apparently Elizabeth came to America in the spring of1635
with Samuel, his wife and four children. (Edward Sturgis of Yarmouth,Mass.,
and His Descendents.)
Nat'l Soc. of Daughters of Am. Colonists Lineage Books, Supplement 2,
follows the Kent theory. Says Edward (1671-1679) married ElizabethHinkley (sic)
in 1640. Adds from Charleston, Mass., and a deputy to the GeneralCourt.
The Northamptonshire line theory seems to be the most popular.
New England Families by Cutter accepts the Northamptonshire theory.Says
Edward came to Charlestown, Mass., about 1634 and was in Yarmouth,Cape Cod, in
1639. He was constable in Yarmouth in 1640-41, member of the grandinquest in
1650 and surveyor of highways in 1651. Admitted a freeman June 5,1651, and was
committeeman on affairs of the colony in 1657. He was constable in1662 and
deputy to the general assembly in 1672.
When he died, his large estate was heavily encumbered. Because theestate was
"much entangled in debts," his widow, Mary, "not being willing to makeye
trouble...received and excepted of Twenty and three pounds in silvermoney in
full satisfaction for her part of and in ye estate of her deceasedhusband...,"
according to "Edward Sturgis of Yarmouth, Mass., and His Descendants."

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

Sailed 6 Sept 1620 on the Mayflower along with John Tilly, hisfather-in-law. Was the 13th signer of the "Mayflower Compact." Was asoldier under Capt. Miles Standish in the "First Encounter" 6 Dec1620.He was the last surviving member of the Mayflower passengers. His isthe oldest grave on Burial Hill in Plymouth MA.

PIONEERS OF MASSACHUSETTS
says came on the Mayflower in 1620 as servant of Gov. John Carver.Signed the Mayflower Compact. Took an active part in earlyexplorations. Settled at Plymouth. Town officer; a partner in theTrading Company of the Colony; Asst. or deputy almost continually;prominent in the church. He died "a profitable instrument of good; thelast man that was left of those that came over in the ship called theMayFlower that arrived in Plymouth." [Plymouth Colony Record, VII,34.] Grown aged, he bequeathed to wife Elizabeth his house in RockyNook in the town of Plymouth and made her residuary legatee. DaughterDesire Howland Gorham among children in the will.

SAINTS AND STRANGERS is source for birth date. Says died in 1672. "Aplaine-hearted Christian." Evidently inherited Carver's estate andimmediately bought his freedom. Purchaser, 1626. Undertaker, 1627-41.Assistant governor, 1633-35 and probably 1629-32. In charge ofKennebec trading post at time of Hocking murder, 1634, and apparentlyheld somewhat to blame, for never again entrusted with public office(p. 320). En route to America on the Mayflower he was swept overboardby heavy seas but caught a trailing halyard, hanging on "though he wassundrie fadomes under water," until he was pulled in with a boat hook.Was on the "Third Discovery" that finally determined where thePilgrims would live. John's brother Arthur also was in the PlymouthColony, but book doesn't say how he got there. Arthur did woo, andfinally win, Gov. Prence's daughter. "Undertaker" means he was amongprominent men who undertook to pay debts owed by the Pilgrims to thegroup that financed their move to America and provided food andmateriel.

GENEALOGIES OF MAYFLOWER FAMILIES, Vol. II,
Arthur Howland Sr., John's brother, was an early immigrant to PlymouthColony and later resided in Marshfield, Mass. He probably came toAmerica on the same ship as another brother, Henry Jr. Three otherbrothers remained in England. "Furthermore, he is remarkable for beingone of the ancestors of Mr. Winston Churchhill." Notes for the articlesay brother John was an ancestor of Franklin D. Roosevelt. So thebrothers' father, Henry Howland Sr., should rate a plaque at site ofhis grave.

SIGNERS OF THE MAYFLOWER COMPACT
Lists other descendants of John: Nathaniel Gorham, member of theconvention that framed the Constitution and chaired that body severaltimes at the request of George Washington; Revolutionary War GeneralNathaniel Greene, and Gen. A.W. Greely, an Arctic explorer.
The foregoing source quotes Gov. Bradford about John's mishap at sea:
"In a mighty storm John Howland, a Passenger (!) a stout young man, bya keel of ye ship was thrown into ye sea. But it pleased God, Hecaught hold of ye Topsail Halliards we hung overboard, and run out yelength, yet He kept his hold the several Fathoms under water, till Hewas drawn up by ye Rope to ye surface and by a Boat Hook and othermeans got into ye ship: and tho' somew't ill upon it, liv'd manyyears, and became a useful member both in church and Commonwealth."
Howland family tradition has long held that John's wife Elizabeth wasthe daughter of John Carver, but others say Carver died childless--orat least had no living children when he died. The author of Signers ofthe Mayflower Compact, however, speculates she may have been Carver'sgranddaughter. She also hints that John Howland was much more thanjust an indentured servant. And he did inherit Carver's estate.
The author says many Howland descendants became Quakers. One of them,Robert Howland Sr., kept his sense of humor. She reports:
"Upon the election of one of his neighbors to the office of 'fielddriver,' sometimes called 'hog constable,' he gave the followingimpromptu:
"'It seemeth strange to our weak brains,
The town should think it best,
To pass a vote to choose one Shoat
To govern all the rest.'"
Several Howlands also became Baptists and moved to Dartmouth, close toRhode Island Baptists.

EPITAPHS TO REMEMBER says gravestone in Plymouth, Mass., read:
Here ended ye Pilgrimage of
John Howland who died Feby 23rd 1672-3
Aged above 80 yeares. He married
Eliabeth daur of John Tilley who
came with him in ye shipp Mayflower
Decr. 1620. From them are
descended numerous posterity.
[This epitaph reads like it was written and gravestone erected yearsafter the death of John Howland].

NATIONAL SOCIT Y OF DARTERS OF AMERICAN COLONIEST, Vol. 11,
John Howland died in 1673.

COLONIAL FAMILIES OF THE USA
John Howland was born in 1592; died Feb. 22, 1672, and came fromEssex, England. "Queen Elizabeth granted the Howlands their Coat Armorin 1584, the family beginning with Bishop Howland, who performed theobsequies for Mary Queen of Scots."

THE ENGLISH ANCESTRY AND HOMES OF THE PILGRIM FATHERS
John was born about 1594. Since there is no record of his living inLeyden he is credited to London because John Carver was in England fora considerable time before the Mayflower sailed. He "undoubtedlyobtained the services of Howland in that city prior to the departurefrom England."
"The Howland ancestry is probably of Essex origin...There was a JohnHowland taxed at Canfield Parva, Essex, 1623, and the name also occursearlier at Newport Pagnall in the same county. In London a JohnHowland was living in the parish of St. Mary, Whitechapel, in 1596,and in 1600 another John belonged to the parish of St. Botolph,Billingsgate. Jeffrey Howland was taxed in 1625 in the parish of St.Botolph, Aldgate. These parishes are all close to or part of thePilgrim quarter of London."

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

Stephen Tracy was about 28 years old when he sailed to the PlymouthColony aboard the "Anne." He was a separatist who had first migratedfrom England to Leyden, Holland to escape religious persecution. InLeyden he met Tryphosa Lee who became his wife on January 2, 1620. Inthe marriage record, he is listed as a "say-weaver" and she as a"maid."

They had their first child, Sarah, in Leyden and it appears that thefamily was scheduled to travel together on the "Anne," but Tryphosa,perhaps learning that she was pregnant, chose to remain at home. Sheand their two children came to America two years later on the "Jacob."

In the meantime, Stephen had acquired three acres in the PlymouthColony land division of 1623. After the rest of the family arrived,each shared in the Plymouth Colony cattle division of 1627.

In 1633, Stephen was made a "Freeman of the Incorporation of Plymouth,New England," and, in 1634, he became one of the first settlers of thetown of Duxbury. Over the years he held many important officesincluding:

Plymouth colony committee member to assess taxes, March 3, 1634;Duxbury representative on the committee to lay out highways, July 23,1634; Coroner's jury, March 2, 1635; Duxbury representative on thecommittee to "nearer unite Plymouth & those on Duxburrough side,"March 14 1635; Grand jury member, March 7, 1636 and again June 2,1640; Committee member to apportion hay grounds, March 20, 1636;Duxbury constable "an office of high trust and responsibility," March5, 1638 and again June 4, 1639; Arbiter by order of the governor,September 7, 1642.

On November 2, 1640, Stephen was granted eighty acres of land "withsome Meadow to it" in Duxbury. In 1646 he was made a Freeman ofDuxbury and, then disappears from all records until 1654 when he isfound living in his birthplace, Great Yarmouth, England which was aseaport and market-town in Norfolk County. It is unclear whetherTryphosa returned with him to England, or remained in America. Somesources have her dying in Plymouth in 1655. The children, all beinggrown, remained in Massachusetts.

On March 2, 1654, while in London, Stephen Tracy "at present of GreatYarmouth in old England" made his will, in the form of a power ofattorney to John Winslow, disposing to:

Son John "what land and houses I have there in Duxburrow" (along withsome cattle) to "my daughter Ruth Tracy one cow and one two year oldmare," and "what cattle I have more (Marye's two cows being cast inamongst them) to be equally divided among my five children living inNew England," noting that some of his children were married withchildren, and others were unmarried. His son John had married MaryPrence, daughter of Governor Thomas and Mary Collier Prence. Tryphosais not mentioned in the will, so may have died before Stephen.

Famous descendants of Stephen and Tryphosa Lee Tracy include --Winston Churchill, Ulysses S. Grant, Bing Crosby, and Laura IngalsWilder.

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

Gov. John ENDICOTT was born in 1587/88 in Dorchester, England. He diedon 15 Mar 1665 in Boston, Massachusetts. He was buried in GranaryBurning, Boston, MA. Notes: John Endecott was born in 1588 atDorchester, Dorsetshire, England. In his early lif e, he was asurgeon. On 19 March 1628, he was the fifth signer of six otherreligious person s in purchasing a patent of the territory ofMassachusetts Bay from the corporation styled co uncil established atPlymouth in the county of Devon for the "planting, ruling and governing of New England in America." Two of those who received proprietaryrights in the new compan y were Matthew Craddock and Roger Ludlow,both of whom were related to John by marriage. I n fact, Matthew wasthe cousin of John's first wife, Ann Gover. This is probably why he was selected as a "fit instrument to begin the wilderness work". Johnwas entrusted with ful l powers to take charge of the plantation atNaumkeag. John, his childless wife, and about 3 0 settlers left on theship Abigail from the port of Weymouth near Dorchester on 20 June 1628 and landed at Naumkeag, Massachusetts on 6 September 1628, 2 monthsand 16 days later. Tw o years later, the town's name was changed toSalem. His wife, Ann Gover, came to America w ith John in 1628 anddied the next year. They had no children.
The year 1628 was also very important for English history. Broke fromforeign misadventures , King Charles I was forced by Parliament tosign the Petition of Rights. This was the begin ning of trouble thatwould lead to Civil War in 1642 and 1648; resulting in the King'sexecution in 1648, and the emergence of Oliver Cromwell and theRoundheads. Cromwell was Lord Pro tector of England from 1653-1658.Knowing this is important because it shows why John Endecott was ableto do some of the things that he did during most of his long life inthe Colony.
In 1631, John married Elizabeth Cogan Gibson. She was a widow of a mannamed Gibson. He was married to Elizabeth COGAN on 18 Aug 1630 inBoston, Massachusetts

John Endicott (or Endecott as it was often spelled) was born inDorchester, Dorchestshire England in 1588. There may be additionalinformation about him in English records, but research has not beencompleted in American records, nor even started in English ones. Hemarried first Anna Gower, who died in 1629 leaving no children. Hemarried secondly Elizabeth [Cogan] Gibson, 17 Aug. 1630. On the 6th ofSept. 1628, after a voyage of two months and 16 days, the ship"Abigail" arrived in the harbor of Naumkeag, Mass. (it would later benamed Salem). On it was John Endecott and small company of fellowPuritans. John Endecott was one of the "6 patentees and others" towhom a royal charter was granted 19 March 1628 under the name of the"Governor and Company of Mass. Bay in New England." He was governor ofLondon's Plantation in Massachusetts Bay at Salem from itsestablishment in
1628 until John Winthrop arrived in 1630 as governor under thecharter. He was assistant deputy governor, or governor for the 36years of his life in the colony, with the exception of the year he wassuspended for causing the sign of the cross to be cut from the Britishensign. In 1645 he was in command of the colonial army, and headed abloody expedition against Block Island and the Pequoit Indians. Somehistorians claim his military leadership in one expedition against theIndians so so mismanaged as to have been a cause of the Pequot war.Like all of our ancestors, he had both good and bad qualities. Someaccounts say that while he had pious zeal and genial manners, he alsohad a hot temper an d was guilty of harsh bigotry. His most usefulservice was in his able administration during the colony's first twoyears. He organized at Salem a Separatist church on the Plymouthmodel, suppressed with vigor the followers of Thomas Morton at MerryMount, and deported the Brownes from the colony for holding a
service with the Book of Common Prayer. His stern intolerance showeditself in his later years, especially in his harsh persecutions ofQuakers. His dealings with the Quakers present an interesting picturefor his descendants, some of whom became Quakers. He died in 1665leaving two sons -- John Jr. and Zerubbabel. John Jr. died two yearslater and left no issue. By the terms of his father's will Zerubbabelcame into possession of an extensive estate. He lived at Salem, Mass.,where he practiced medicine and reared a family of 10 children. JohnEndecott was acting governor of Massachusetts Bay Colony 1629-1630,and was elected to the office in 1644 and again in 1649; re-electedevery year from 1650 to 1655, excepting 1654. He was a bold andenergetic man -- a zealous Puritan. He was intolerant of whatever heconsidered wrong. To meet the needs of the Colony he
established a mint, in spite of a law forbidding such action, and cutthe red cross of St. George from the military standard because, as heclaimed, the emblem savored of popery. The tradition exists that Gov.Endicott cut the cross from the flag with his sword, and in his wrathstamped it into the earth. His strict Puritan ideas also resulted incutting down a May Pole, which fell under the governor's law as notbeing "religious." John Endicott's will was dated 1659. It reads: Lastwill and testament of John Endecott Sr., late of Salem, now of Boston.To wife Elizabeth, Orchard Farm in Salem bounds, during life; allmovable goods, cattle books at Boston house; also all debts due mehere and in England; Catta Island; and after her to sons or to longerliver; to her, houses at Salem, grounds, goods and power to dispose ofsame.

John Endicott was born in Chagfrod, Devonshire in 1589.There areproofs of him having been a surgeon yet he was called captain in theearliest records of the Massachusetts Colony. He married Anna Gouerwho accompanied him to the colonies if 1628. She died in 1629 leavingno children. Some of her needlework is preserved in the Museum of theSalem East India Marine Society. He married widow Elizabeth CoganGibson, the daughter of Philobert Cogan and Anne Marshall, on Aug 17,1630. She was born about 1607. He sailed from Weymouth on the shipAbigail and on June 20, 1628 landed at Naumkeag. This company becamethe first legally recognized settlement of the Massachusetts Colonywith Endicott called by some the first Massachusetts governor. In 1630Winthrop came with a duplicate charter and became the new governor.
In 1632 Endicott was granted 300 acres of land known as the OrchardFarm. It was situated two or three miles north of the main settlementof Salem on a tongue of land. In 1642 he was chosen as one of thecorporation of Harvard College and in 1644 he was reelected governorwhich revived the unsuccessful effort of Salem to become the seat ofgovernment. In 1645 he was suceeded as governor by Dudley and wasappointed Sargeant Major General of the colony. After the death ofWinthrop in 1649 he again became governor until his death with theexception of the years 1650 and 1654 when he was deputy governor. In1655 he moved to Boston and lived on a lot that is now PembertonSquare.In 1658 he ws granted a fourth part of Block Island and wasalso elected president of the Body of Colonial Commisssions. Hisdispostion appears to have been a bit irascible since there areseveral physical confrontation between him and other colonists. In thecase of his striking Thomas Dexter he was fined ten pounds. He diedMarch 15,1665 and was buried in Boston. His tombstone is supposed tohave been destroyed by British soldiers during the revolution. Hiswill More about the Endicotts

Bringing some 50 people with him, John Endicott came to New England on the ship, Abigail, from Weymouth, England, with his wife, Ann Gower,who was a relative of Matthew Cradock. She died shortly after landingin Salem on Sept. 6, 1628. They had no children. John settled inSalem where he became the first Governor of the Massachusetts BayColony until the arrival of Winthrop the following year. John wasnamed as an incorporator in the Royal Charter and was one of sixreligious persons who bought a patent for territory on the Bay fromthe Plymouth Council in England. His religious zeal often led himastray. A Puritan, he gave meaning to the word "puritanical".Following the murder of John "Mad-Jack" Oldham in 1636, Endicott wasplaced at the head of a punitive expedition of a hundred men intoConnecticutt. Ignoring the pleas of the settlers there for caution,Endicott destroyed one Indian village after another leaving theConnecticutt settlers to suffer the reprisals of the Indians in theensuing Pequot War, which his expedition did much to start. In 1645,he was named Sergeant-Major-General. John was responsible forcutting down the celebrated May Pole of Thomas Morton and his riotousgang at Merry Mount. This episode is recounted by William Bradford inhis history "Of Plimouth Plantation". John also oversaw thedeportation of John and Samuel Browne who had declined to acceptEndicott's views on separatism. He was mildly censured for hishandling of Browne affair. After John Winthrop became Governor,Endicott held the office of Assistant to the Governor in the years1630-1634, 1636-1640, 1645-1648. He was Deputy Governor in 1641-1643,1650, 1654. He was Governor in 1644, 1649, 1651-1653, and 1655-1664.John is also remembered for his order to remove the cross from theEnglish flag, because it was in his mind a symbol of popery. JohnEndicott showed himself ruthless and brutal in his handling of theQuaker cases. He bore much of the responsibility for theirpersecution, imprisonment, banishment and execution. King Charles IIeventually rebuked the Massachusetts Colony and Governor Endicott fortheir cruelty. About 1655, he was induced to move from Salem toBoston because Boston had become the capital of the Colony.

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

Thomas Boreman, died when somewhere near 58 years of age, and wasburied March 9, 1627/8. We find no will, but there is a full inventoryof his estate taken March 8, 1627/8, the day before his funeral,together with the account of his widow Elizabeth as administratrix,dated April 12, 1630. It is from the latter that we learn that theirson Felix lived in London. Thomas's property considerably exceeds thatof his father William, and his grandfather Thomas. He has livestock .. . with all the implements for carrying on a large farm. His widowElizabeth continued to manage it after his death, assisted probably byher son John, then in his twentieth year. Of the two older sons,Felix, aged 29, was in London, and Thomas, aged 27, afterwards theemigrant, was apparently also away. The widow survived her husbandabout three years and died at the age of 56. The date of her burialwas May 11, 1631. She had made her will, April 27, 1631, shortlybefore her death, and while sick. This will is of great importance,because the special provision she makes in it for the maintenance ofher son Daniel, together with a similar provision that Thomas ofIpswich makes for his brother Daniel, clearly proving that theemigrant Thomas was her son.

The identification of John Towne as the father of William Towne,
immigrant to Massachusetts, has been established by research of the
Towne Family Association,
http://members.aol.com/_ht_a/brbaylis/myhomepage/index.html.

Edmund Eugene Towne 1901, The Descendants of William Towne. Richard
Towne is given as the father of William Towne, but this has been
shown to be incorrect. Cf. Towne Family Association.

Potential progenitors of this family (Edmund Eugene Towne 1901, The
Descendants of William Towne, pp. 5-11):

William de la Towne of Alvely, Shropshire, in the year 1274, filed a
suit-at-law against a parish officer. In 1275 he sat on a jury at
Astley, Shropshire.

Thomas at Towne, ca. 1400, owner of land about Charing, he married
Benedicta Brampton, only daughter of John Brampton (a.k.a. Detling)
of Detling Court from whom he inherited a manor at Throwley, naming
it Towne Place. A Towne coat of arms was placed upon the windows
of the church in Kennington, Kent County. Shortly thereafter he
died, leaving his possessions to his three daughters. Eleanor Towne
who inherited the estate at Throwley about 1446 married Richard
Lewknor of Challock.

William Towne, Doctor of Divinity, 1459, became clergyman of the
parish at Stow in Lindsey, Lincolnshire. On 10 December 1470 he was
appointed Almoner (collector for the Fund for Alms, obtained by
seizure of the property of suicides) to King Henry VI. He died 1496
and is buried in Kings College Chapel.

John Towne, Professor of Divinity, succeeded in 1470 to the post of
Precentor (choir leader) at the Cathedral of Lincoln. He resigned in
1473 for the Prebend of Dunholme.

John Towne of Irby, Lincolnshire, left a will dated 18 November 1540,
leaving legacies to Anne Towne, Thomas Towne, and George, as well as
to his brother William Towne of Irby. Will proved 1 June 1541.

Robert Towne, 1580, resigned the rectorship of Hockwold.

Sir Samuel Towne (date?) obtained possession of Isaack Manor, East
Beckham, Norfolk.

meaning the hedge or wall, or other border, indicating the limits of
a town.

W.G. Davis 1927, The Ancestry of Lieut. Amos Towne 1737-1793 of
Arundel (Kennebunkport), Maine, p. 3. Great Yarmouth records show
the baptisms of Arthur, son of John and Alice, and William, son of
John and Elizabeth. Davis assumed that Elizabeth (Alice) died before
1600 at which time there is a marriage 1 September 1600 between John
Towne and Margaret Walden. As later burial records exist for
Elizabeth, this marriage must concern a different John Towne.

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

Robert Andrewes' ancestry is noteworthy. He, retained the Englishspelling of Andrews. Robert's aunt, Mrs. Johane Andrewes, widow ofThomas Andrewes, resided in London on Tower Hill. Her son, Lancelot,the Bishop of Winchester, assisted in crowning Elizabeth and James I.Lancelot was Ist in the list of 54 learned men selected to make whatis known as the "King James" version of the bible. The Widow JohaneAndrewes left one-third part of the ship called "The Mayflower" to herson Thomas, and her brother-in-law, William. William settled in Bostonin 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).

The will of Capt. Robert Andrewes, dated 1 Mar 1643, lists his wife,Elizabeth, sons John and Thomas. He also had 2 daughters, Alice andAbigail (wife of Daniel Hovey). In order of age they were Alice,Abigail, John and Thomas.

FIRST GENERATION.

1. ROBERT ANDREWS,1 came from England, and settled
at Ipswich, early in the year 1635.

The Andrews Memorial states: that Capt. Andrews, came from Norwich,Norfolk County, England,
early in 1635, as owner and master of ship "Angel Gabriel." RichardMather, in his narrative of his
voyage in the James says, they came in company part of the way, andthat many Godly people were on board the ship.

This Capt. Andrews had a sister Mary. who was the wife of RobertBurnham.(*) Their 3 boys, John.
Thomas and Robert, it is said, were put in charge of their uncleAndrews, master of the ship "Angel
Gabriel," which was cast away at Tammaquid, in Maine, in a terriblestorm, 15 Aug. 1635, after
which loss, Capt. Andrews settled with his 3 nephews at Chebacco, inMassachusetts Bay.

WILL OF ROBERT ANDREWS.

The 1 of March 1643.
In ye name of God Amen. I Robert Andrews of Ipswich in New Englandbeing
of perfect understanding & memory doe make this my last will &testiment.

Imprimis, I commend my soul into the hands of my mercifull Creator &
Redeemer and I doe commit my body after my departure out of this worldto be
buryed in seemly manner by my friends &c. Concerning my estate,Imprimis, I doe make my eldest son, John Andrews my executor.

Item, I give unto my wife Elizabeth Andrews forty pounds, & to JohnGriffin the
son of Humfrey Griffin sixteen pounds to be paid unto him when heshall be
twenty one years & if he shall dy before he comes to that age, itshall return to my
two sonnes John & Thomas Andrews.

Item, concerning my son Thomas Andrews my will is that he shall livewith his
brother John Andrews 3 years, two of which he shall be helpfull to hisbrother
John Andrews in his husbandry, & the last of the 3 years he shall goto scole to
recover his learning, & if he shall go to the University, or shall sethimselfe upon
some other way of living, his brother John shall allow him ten poundsby the yeer

John, Thomas & Robert Burnam by equal portions & twenty more should goto
Humfrey Griffins two other sonnes & the other twenty shall go toDaniel Hovey.

And because my son John Andrews is yet under age. I doe commend himunto
Thomas Howlett as his guardian untill he shall come of age.

Witnesses hereof
WILLIAM KNIGHT. of ROBERT
JOHN WHIPPLE. The Marke ??
THOMAS SCOTT. ANDREWS.
JOSEPH METCALFE.

This will was proved in ye court held at Ipswich 26th of ye firstmonth 1644.

From the facts there stated, and so well corroborated in the otherrecords and
authorities mentioned, we have been able to fix with absolutecertainty the identity
of himself and his immediate descendants.

It names his wife, Elizabeth, and his sons John and Thomas; and his
grandchildren, Elizabeth Franklyn and Daniel Hovey; showing that hemust have
had daughters, naming their husbands. By this means we are able toidentify them
in other records and documents. We notice with pleasure his provisionfor the
education of his son Thomas, and shall see later that it was turned tohis
advantage.

The fact that he mentions John, son of Humphrey Griffin, as a legatee,strongly
suggests that the legatee was a relative. Humphrey Griffin died atIpswich,
September 16, 1662, leaving a widow, Elizabeth; his wife Joan diedJuly 17,
1657; possibly the first wife may have been a kinswoman to RobertAndrews; a
sister perhaps. He also mentions with certainty his nephews, John,Thomas and
Robert Burnham.

Thomas Howlett, designated as the guardian of his son, John, may havebeen
related, yet he does not so state. Howlett was one of the firstsettlers who went
to Ipswich with Mr. Winthrop, and his name is frequently mentioned inthe early
records, from which it appears that Andrews and Howlett resided neareach
other at Ipswich.

Under the grants, 1634, as taken out of "Ye Old Book," Given andGranted vnto
Thomas Howlett two acres of meadow and two acres & half of marshadjoining
vnto that, laying between the towne River & the land of Willm Sergantsand John
Nowmane vnto him his heires or Assigns.

Also, same date; Giuen and Granted vnto Thomas howlett six acres ofland more
or less in equal share with John manning

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

Richard Bartlett arrived in Newbury, Massachusetts in 1635, settlingBartletts Cove (Opposite Amesbury Ferry). He settled with his brothersJohn and Thomas, his sons Richard and Cristopher, and a daughter,Joanna. He was one of the earliest settlers at Newbury in 1635, theyear of its incorporation.

He was a shoemaker by trade (Burke's American Families, pg. 2551).Original spelling of the name is Bartellot. He brought the "BreechesBible" to America. His estate was proven & recorded in Ipswich,Massachusetts in deed bk., Vol. 1, leaf 25

Came to US in 1635-36; will proved Sept 28, 1647

He was a shoemaker

Levi BARTLETT says from statemant make in Col. Bartletts letter, Ithink there can be no doubt that Richard and John Bartlett of Newburywere sons of Edmund Bartlett of Ernely and Stopham. Richard Bartlettwith his two sons and a dau and his brothers John and Thomas came fromEngland to New England as early as 1635. The three brothers wereprobably sons of Edmund Bartlett of Ernely, Sussex, Eng. who was adescendent of Adam Bartleot, the Esquire of Brean , a Knight who camefrom Normondy to Eng with William the Conqueror. Richard a desendentof Adan Bartlot & heir of the estate of Stopham, died in Tournay,France in the year 1518, leaving four sons. Wiliam, the eldest,succeeded his father's estate & Edmund another son had a landed estatein Ernely. Edmund had three sons; Edmund, who succeeded to his estate;Richard , John Thomas who left Ernely in 1634, or about that time andare supposed to have come to America. Richard & John settled inNewbury, Mass, at or around Bartlett's Cove, opposite Amesbury Ferry.(Source--Early New England People by Titcombe)

"Richard Bartlett bought this book Anno Domyni 1612."
and on the blank page at the end of the Prayer Book, written in thesame handwriting, is found;
"I, Richard Bartlett write this for the age of my children."

Sailed with his brothers from Stopham to US on the ship Mary & John in1637. Settled in Newbury Mass. Yeoman and cordwainer.
Another source said he settled in Newbury in 1635
Is the original Bartlett of Bartlett's Cove opposite Amsbury Ferry,where he settled with his brothers John and Thomas

"Richard came to the New England area with two sons, and is known tobe the only line related to the Barttelot family of Stopham, England.He was most likely one of the Wiltshire colonists who came to Newbury,MA, with his family in the company of Rev. Thomas Parker, and hisfollowers. We find the name of John Bartlett, son of Richard,representing the family on the ship 'Mary and John.' Richard Bartlettmarried in England, abt. 1610, and in 1612 purchased the 'BreechesBible' which shows the births of his children in England.

Richard sailed with his brothers, John and Thomas, from Stopham toAmerica on the ship Mary & John in 1637. John and Richard settled inNewbury, Massachusetts, and Thomas in Watertown. First to spell hisname Bartlett. He was a Yeoman and cordwainer (leather worker).
Richard came to the New England area with two sons, and is known to bethe only line related to the Barttelot family of Stopham, England. Hewas most likely one of the Wiltshire colonists who came to Newbury,MA, with his family in the company of Rev. Thomas Parker, and hisfollowers. Richard Bartlett married in England, about 1610, and in1612 purchased the 'Breeches Bible' which shows the births of hischildren in England. The complete book of Emigrants (1607-1776) listshim as a "vagrant from the Bridewell".

He settled Bartletts Cove, (Opposite Amesbury Ferry) in 1635 where hesettled with his brothers John and Thomas, and his sons Richard andCristopher, and a Daughter Joanna. He was one of the earliest settlersat Newbury in 1635 (the year of its incorporation)

"Among the first band of English emigrants who, having wintered atIpswich, came in the spring of 1635 to plant the town of Newbury, wasa John Spencer. He had been the first representative for Ipswich tothe General Court at Boston and became also the first representativefor Newbury. He remained only a few years in Newbury. When disposingof his estate there, he returned to England about the time of, andperhaps in connection, with the English expedition, which in 1655captured Jamaica. Mr. Spencer had 50 acres more or less of upland onthe neck of the "greate River" which it is presumed is the RiverParker. Disposing of these lands, he deeded in 1648 to variousfriends, among them, "8 acres to Richard Bartlett" (The Newsletter ofthe Sons & Daughters of the First Settlers of Newbury. Summer 1995,Vol XIV, No 2, pg 14).

From the "Breeches Bible"
I, Richard Bartlett writ this for the age of my children:
Joane Bartlett borne in Januarey 29, 1610 Wensday 8 of the cloke atnyght
John Bart borne, the 9 of November 1613 at 11 of the clok in the day

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

ASSOCIATIONS: Brother Abraham Morrill who arrived in Cambridge by1635, and later resided in
Salisbury, was named in Isaac's will, and the "cousin Isaac Morrill"who received the blacksmith tools was
Abraham's son. Abraham Morrill appears on a 1632 Cambridge list ofthose required to maintain fencing,
and on this basis it has been assumed that Abraham was also on theLyon. But this list is chronologically
defective, and the first verifiable record of Abraham in Cambridge isin August of 1635. Since Abraham
did not marry until 1645, he was apparently much younger than Isaac.

He was in Cambridge in 1636, in Salisbury 1640. He is buried in theOld First Burying Place in Roxbury, Ma. He was also an iron founderand planter.He died on a trip to Roxbury. He came on the Lion 16 Sept1632 and received land in the first division and in 1649, and 1654. Hewas a commoner and taxed 1650, signed petition in 1658 and was inCambridge in 1632. He was the cousin of Isaac Morrill or Roxbury. Hiswill was proved 14 October Roxbury, Suffolk Co., MA.

Daughter of Robert Clement, one of the first settlers of Haverhill,
Mass., who, it is claimed, came from England in his own ship in 1640.

SOURCE: Booth Genealogy

============================

"ABRAHAM MORRILL married SARAH CLEMENT, whose family were of the first
party of settlers in 1640-41 of the region which later became
Haverhill. Of these twelve persons, soon increased by others, only
three names have been preserved, namely Job Clement, John Favor, and
Hugh Sherratt. The deed for Haverhill lands was obtained from the
Indians and is preserved, giving the name of Robert Clement, the
father of Sarah, as a witness, following that of Rev. John Ward, and
four others, the town being named in compliment to Mr. Ward who was
born in Haverhill, England.

This Job Clement came over from England (probably from Warwickshire)
in 1640, "to spye out the land" as is stated in the old record. The
father Robert Clement, senior, came in 1642, landing at Salisbury, the
near-by port to Haverhill, where he later settled and lived with his
wife and four children, Robert, John, Lydia, and Sarah, who later
married our Abraham Morrill.

The youngest daughter, Mary Clement, remained in England at Coventry,
Warwickshire, until about 1652 when she came to Haverhill and married
John Osgood of Andover, Mass.

Robert Clement, senior, was a man of distinction; the first Deputy of
the town to the General Court, and continued so till 1654; was
Associate Judge; County Commissioner; "appointed and empowered by the
General Court, May 22, 1650 to give the oath of fidelity to the
inhabitants of Haverhill;" appointed to set off the public lands, and
fix their limits. He was a man of rare integrity and superior talent.
He died Sept. 29, 1658 on the spot where he first built. The records
say he was about 68 when he died.

His son Robert, who married Elizabeth Fane in 1652, and by whom he had
eleven children, was the first cooper in the town. Elizabeth died in
1715.

Job, the one who came "to spye out the land" was the first tanner in
the town. He married Margaret Dummer, and theirs was the first
marriage to take place in the new town, recorded on Dec. 25, 1644. On
January 30, 1647 he was made freeman at Ipswich Court and sworn as
Constable for Haverhill, being the first of the town to hold this
office. Took Oath of Fidelity in company with Abraham Morrill in 1650.

A third son of Robert, senior, one John Clement, together with Thomas
Hale and John Davis, were appointed to meet the men from Salisbury to
consult about the boundary between the towns. John Clement was a
farmer, and married Sarah Osgood, daughter of John Osgood of Andover,
and they had four daughters. Some time during the year 1659, John
Clement sailed for England and on the outward voyage "was cast away
and drowned," and at the September (1659) term of the General Court,
his brother Robert applied for, and was appointed, administrator of
his estate. This is the first notice we have of an administratorship
in the town. Truly a time of beginnings. In the following year Robert
"brought in an accompt to this Court (1660) of his charges expended in
his voiage to England and Ireland, his brother john his wife and
children; and Sisters, the Court confirmed the administration unto
Robert Clement upon the request of his brother job of the estate of
his brother John Clement." Thus we learn that the widow Sarah and her
four daughters returned to England.

Mr. Chase in his History of Haverhill states that the Clement family
long occupied a prominent position in the town and county, and their
descendants were among the best citizens. Several generations living
on the same place which in 1860 was owned by Jessee Clement, in North
Parish, he being a lineal descendant from Robert, senior. From the
same source we find that in 1650 there were 43 freemen in the town, of
whom 19 had taken the Oath of Fidelity, among them Job Clement and
Abraham Morrill."

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

Henry Trew was a sea captain. He came from England to Halifax andsettled in Salem Massachusetts Bay Colony before 1635. In 1657 hepurchased a house in Salisbury, Massachusetts
He is believed to have emigated to American in 1630 with the fleet ofSir Richard Saltonstall from Halifax, England. One of the founders ofthe Massachusetts Bay Colony.
His ship hauled molasses and rum from the West Indies

Many people throughout the years engaged in research to find theEnglish roots of Henry True of Salem and Salisbury, MA. One referencestates, "Henry True from Filby, Norfolk, to Salisbury." C. E. Banks,"Typographical Dictionary of 2885 English Emigrants to New England1620-1650". Another states, "I did extensive research on Henry duringthe two years I lived in England. He was the only Henry True living inFilby, Norfolk County, England, who came to America. Henry's fatherand mother were John and Jane Trew of Caistor-on-Sea, England. Henrymarried Mary Newell and had a daughter, Ann. Possibly because he was amaster of a ship later on, he came from England by way of the WestIndies and his first wife and child became ill and died. I went toFilby several times and went to the Parish church that he attended..."True, Jr., Henry True Descendants on the Frontier: Extraction from aletter to Arthur Webster True from Donna Sue McCaray Perry, dated 29May 1979, p. 567. A third reference states, "John True, parentsundetermined, married at Caister-On-Sea, Filby, England 16 June 1590Jane Garret. Henry True B Caister-on-Sea D Salisbury MA B 30 May 1591D 4 Oct 1659 M 1 Mary Newale 25 July 1615 Filby Eng ISSUE dau Ann TrueB 21 Nov 1618...There is no record of Mary and Ann in USA. Either theydid not make the Atlantic crossing or they died during the voyage toNew England." True, Jr., Henry True Descendants on the Frontier:Genealogy of the Family of True by Elinor O. Merrill True, Kingston,NH, p. 377.

It is believed but not proven that Henry True came to America between1630 and 1635, and it is thought but not proven that he might haveemigrated on his own ship as part of the fleet of Sir RichardSaltonstall from Halifax, England, who came to America about thattime.

Henry is first recorded in America in Salem, MA, by the purchase of ahouse according to a deed dated 16 August 1644: "I, Edward Gibens, doeacknowleg Deed or Bill of Sale to have Received of Henry Trew of Salemfower pound for the house in Salem, which was Mr. Strattons; and bythis payment doe give him fulle perseion of the said house; to him andhis forever." This deed is recorded in the first volume of Records atSalem, MA. Henry was granted forty acres of land in 1649. He had a lotin "Southfield" in 1653 and a lot on South River in 1658.

Several accounts have Henry True and his family moving to Salisbury,MA, ca. 1657. He bought a house and land in Salisbury from a RichardNorth in 1657. His widow refers to herself as "of Salsibury" in 1659which might indicate that the family had moved there before that time.

Henry True was a mariner and continued sailing for his living afteremigrating to America. This is supported by the fact that it isrecorded on 18 September 1656, that the ketch Returne, Henry Trew,Master, is "sailing from Barbados, being then on Carlisle Bay, boundfor Boston with Molasses."

No written record of Henry's death has been found but it is generallybelieved he died at sea while on an expedition to Canada in 1659.There must have been some proof of Henry's death because in a deed onrecord we find that, "Israel Trew of the town of Salem now ofSalisbury in the county of Essex, widow administrator to the estate ofHenry Trew my husband, late deceased..." conveyed a house and land inSalem, MA, to a George Gardner on "22nd of 9th month 1659." (Accordingto the calendar then in use in England and the colonies, the ninthmonth would have been November.) Also, an inventory of Henry's estatewas allowed to be filed April 10, 1660.

His widow married 18 June 1660 Joseph Fletcher of Salisbury, MA, andhad one daughter by him. It is believed that all of the True childrenand his own daughter were treated as his own children by JosephFletcher and that they grew up together as one family. This impressionis brought about by the reading of Joseph's will, made the 2nd day ofFebruary, 1679, in which he left everything divided just about equallyamong the three True children who reached adulthood and his owndaughter. Joseph recovered from the illness he had when he made outhis will and outlived his daughter. He disposed of his property duringhis lifetime by deed to his surviving step-children, Henry, Joseph,and Jemima True.

Thomas and Mary (Perkins) Bradbury
The Bradbury family is an old family in England. Some say the Bradburyand True Ancestries with their Allied Lines are recorded back toCharlemagne who was born in the year 747 and was the King of Franceand the Holy Roman Emperor of the West, and even further back toClovis the Riparian, Frankish King of Cologne, who was living in AD420. Although we have not examined the records ourselves, some booksdate the records back to the year 1400 where a Robert de Bradbury wasliving at Ollerset in the parish of Glossop in Derbyshire. Eightgenerations after his birth, we find our immigrant ancestor, ThomasBradbury, who was baptized in Wicken Bonant, a small parish in theCounty of Essex, England, on 28 February 1610-11; died in Salisbury,MA, 16 March 1694-95; son of Wymond and Elizabeth (Whitgift) Bradbury;married in Ipswich, MA, circa 1636, Mary Perkins, baptized inHillmorton, Warwichshire, England, 3 September 1615, died inSalisbury, MA, 20 December 1700, daughter of John and Judith (Gater)Perkins.

Thomas Bradbury's mother, Elizabeth (Whitgift) Bradbury, was born inEngland in March of 1574 and was the daughter of William and Margaret(Bell) Whitgift of Clavering, Essex, England. She was a niece of JohnWhitgift, Archbishop of Canterbury, who placed the crowns on the headsof King James I and Queen Anne during their Coronation ceremonies.Also, she was the niece of Ann Bell, wife of Sir Ferdinando Gorges.Sir Ferdinando was granted by the King large tracks of land insouthern Maine and southern New Hampshire. He sent his grand nephew,Thomas Bradbury, who was our immigrant ancestor, to New England in1634 as his agent. In this capacity, Thomas drew up some of theearliest deeds in both states.

Thomas Bradbury was a leader of his community for over fifty years. Hewas made "freeman" in May of 1640 and was chosen schoolmaster in 1652at the salary of 20 pounds, half paid in corn. "In 1641, he had beenappointed by the General Court Clerk of the Writs, for Salisbury (MA),with the functions of a Magistrate to Execute all sorts of legalprocesses in that place. He was Deputy for many years and aCommissioner for Salisbury empowered to act in all criminal cases andbind over offenders where it was proper, to higher courts, to taketestimony upon oath and to give persons in marriage. He was requiredto keep records of all his doings. If the parties agreed to thateffect, he was authorized to hear and determine cases of every kindand degree without the intervention of a jury. The towns north of theMerrimack River and all beyond, now within the limits of NewHampshire, constituted the County of Norfork and Thomas Bradbury, fora long series of years, was one of its Commissioners and AssociateJudges. From the first, he was conspicous in military matters havingbeen commissioned by the General Court in 1648 Ensign of the TrainingBand of Salisbury, MA. He rose to its Command and in the later portionof his life was universally spoken of as Captain Thomas Bradbury. Allalong, the records of the General Court for half a centurydemonstrated the estimation in which he was held; various importanttrusts and special services requiring integrity and ability being fromtime to time committed to him...." (this information is from Upham'swork on the Salem Witchcraft.) We found it in the book compiled byCharles Wesley True, Jr., Some Henry True Descendants on the Frontier,p. 25. Captain and Mary Bradbury were second on the list of Salisbury,MA, church members in 1687. At his death, he left 5 pounds for the useof the poor of the town, the first record of the town having been therecipient of a public bequest. This information was taken from a papertitled Salisbury Earliest Settlers by John Q. Evans read at a meetingof the Town Improvement Society held at Salisbury, MA, 17 June 1896.

Mary (Perkins) Bradbury, wife of Thomas Bradbury, was tried andconvicted (but not executed) for the crime of witchcraft on 9September 1692, in Salem, MA. Among the other ancestors of mine,Margaret (Stevenson) Scott, widow of Benjamin Scott, was tried,convicted, and executed for the crime of witchcraft on 22 September1692, in Salem, MA, and Rebecca (.....) Chamberlain, wife of WilliamChamberlain of Billerica, MA, died in prison in Cambridge, MA, on 26September 1692, having been confined there during "the witchcraftdelusion" which spread from Salem Village to Andover, Haverhill,Reading, Lexington, Chelmsford, and Billerica, MA. The witchcraftdelusion created a reign of terror. No one felt safe. One wouldsuppose that the accusers were generally of the uneducated classes butthey were of all classes as were the unfortunate people who wereaccused. "The most eminent citizens of Essex County, noted forintelligence and lifelong purity, were arrested and dragged to prison,tried and condemned on the most unreliable evidence, and executed inthe most brutal manner. Finally the imprisonments, torturings, andexecutions rose to such a height as to be no longer endurable, and asudden revulsion of feeling put a stop to the whole infamous business.There was no execution after September 22, 1692, and a general jaildelivery of all the accused took place the May following" CharlesWesley True, Jr., Henry True Descendants in Texas. Within the space ofabout three months, nineteen persons were tried, convicted, andexecuted on "Gallows Hill." Elsewhere, in Europe and England, peoplewere accused, tried, condemned, and executed for being witches. InEngland, alone, more persons were executed in a single county, than inall the colonies of New England.

The delusion took hold of the minds of men and women regardless oftheir education and social standings, even to the mind of the RoyalGovernor of Massachusetts, Sir William Phips, and to the mind of themost learned minister in the colonies at that time, Cotton Mather. TheGovernor, permitted the persecutions to proceed until his wife wasaccused of witchcraft. After that, he interfered to stay theexecutions of such innocents.

Mary (Perkins) Bradbury and five other woman were tried and condemnedfor witchcraft on 9 September 1692. Mary and one of the other women,Dorcas Hoar, were not executed with the others on the followingSeptember 22nd. The reasons for their stay of execution, if everrecorded, have been lost to us but much has been written about theirtrial. Mary was charged even though her husband was a prominent man inthe colony. "It seems strange to us that an aged person, whose wholelife according to the testimony of her neighbors had been one ofcharity and kindness, of piety and acts of good will, should have beencondemned for witchcraft (and on such unsubstantial evidence as)because 'physick' would not 'work', or butter became rancid at sea, orstorms disable a vessel and caused it to leak, or a captain hadvisions of a woman while at sea, and men had seen a 'blue' boar."Charles Wesley True, Jr., Some Henry True Descendants on the Frontier,p. 25. Other testimony accused her of bewitching John Carr so that hebecame crazed and prematurely died.

At her trial, Mrs. Bradbury was defended by Major Robert Pike, uncleby marriage, and answered the charges declaring her innocence, herhusband bore testimony on her behalf, and her minister, James Allin,and members of the Pike family gave testimony of her good character.The testimony of John Carr's brother, William, in Mary's defense, wentto show that his brother, John, fell in love with Jemima True, but theproposed match was opposed and broken off by young Carr's father onaccount of his youth. John became melancholy and at times insane.William stated that he took care of his brother in his last illnessand his brother died peaceably and quietly, and never spoke anythingof the harm of Mrs. Bradbury or anyone else. One hundred and eighteenof Mary's acquaintances, consisting of both men and women, some havingknown her for fifty years, gave evidence of her good, peaceful, andChristian life. I imagine it took great courage in such perilous timesto sign this declaration and was pleased to note that over a dozen ofour own ancestors signed in her behalf.

"The Salem trials doubtless exhibit a remarkable phase of humanpsychology. They furnish food for thought respecting the occasionalvagaries of the mind, and in the degree of aberration to which it issubject through the influence of prevailing notions or popularenthusiasm. It may not again take precisely this form of temporarymadness, but it is not yet beyond the reach of being led widely astrayon many subjects of human experience and social intercourse or sociallaws." Charles Wesley True, Jr., Some Henry True Descendants of theFrontier, p. 26.

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

"1680 (?) John Carr in love with Jemima True -- broken off by hisfather
on account of his youth -- he became melancholy and insane and died."
(This must have been Henry of Salisbury's younger sister Jemima, whohad
married Captain John March in 1679, and not Henry's daughter Jemima,as
1680 is the year of her birth and such a passionate infatuation asthis
is not commonly directed at a new-born babe. -- B.B.) The handwitten
note continues:
"1692 (13 years later) Mary Perkins Bradbury, age 70, arrested,charged with bewitching John Carr so that he became insane andprematurely died.
'The deposition of William Carr who testifieth and saith that about 13
years ago, presently after some differences that happened to bebetween
my honored father, Mr. George Carr and Mrs. Bradbury, the prisoner atthe
bar, upon a Sabbath at noon, as we were riding home by the house ofCapt.
Thomas Bradbury, I saw Mrs. Bradbury go into her gate, turn thecorner,
and immediately there darted out of her gate a blue boar, and dartingat
my father's horses legs which made him stumble, but I saw it no more.
And my father said, 'Boys, what did you see?' And we both said, 'ABlue
Boar.' ' " (End of deposition, but my father adds a postscript: "Shewas
convicted (as a witch) with 4 others who were executed Sept. 1692. She
escaped hanging."
Ah! a tantalizing fragment of information that connects the family, ina
way, with the infamous Salem Witch Trials. Fortunately, more of the
story can be found in Marion L. Starkey's book "The Devil in
Massachusetts," an inquiry into this disturbing piece of our country's
history. In Chapter XVII, "Eight Firebrands of Hell" Starkey writes:
"The wheels of justice now turned at full speed. On September 9 the
judges tried and condemned six witches, and on September 17 nine more.
Of the total of fifteen, eight were hanged on September 22. All butone
of the seven who escaped hanging could be judicially accounted for.Five
were... condemned but reprieved. The sixth... got a stay of executionby
pleading pregnancy. Only with the seventh was there any irregularity.
Mary Bradbury of Salisbury 'escaped' or if escaped is too strong aword,
she being too feeble to do anything for herself, at least her friendshad
in some obscure way managed to hide her from authority...."
The account goes on to describe Mary Bradbury as "one of the bestloved
members of her community" and that ninety-three neighbors presentedthe
court with a statement that in half a century they had never known herto
make any trouble. Others, including a Rev. James Allen, testified toher
"charity and piety." The book continues: "Her husband, Thomas, to whom
she had been married fifty years and borne eleven children , said that
she was 'of a cheerful spirit, liberal and charitable,' but now thatshe
was old, 'weak and grieved under her affliction, may not be able tospeak
for herself, not being so free of speech as others may be.' "
"Such testimony came from the circle of Mrs. Bradbury's affectionate
acquaintance. Not everyone in Salisbury belonged to it; at its outer
edges were people who took the view that her seeming goodness was afalse
front behind which she concealed abominations. The elder Ann Putnam...
not having moved in Mrs. Bradbury's social set, knew all about the
abominations. Her kinsman, Richard Carr had as good as seen the woman
turn herself into a blue boar; anyway he saw the boar rush out of agate
which Mrs. Bradbury had just entered and dash at the feet of hisfather's
horse. Neither he nor another witness doubted that the boar was Mrs.
Bradbury, and apparently neither did judges or jury when the story was
duly relayed to them." (Ann Putnam was the mother of one of theteen-age
girls -- actually the daughter Ann Putnam was only 12 at the time --who
were behind the whole hysteria that swept through Salem and the
surrounding communities.)
There was also testimony that she had even haunted ships at sea. A man
named Samuel Endicott told the court that his captain had bought "two
firkins of butter" from her prior to a sea voyage, and that these had
spoiled. (Not too surprising, Starkey notes, since the ship was bound
for the Barbados, and was equipped with no refridgeration.) He
continues, "The spoiling of the butter was, however, only thebeginning
of Mrs. Bradbury's display of malefic powers. Soon after the Barbados,
the ship ran into a storm, lost a mainmast, and sprang a leak which
ruined several tons of salt. At this point, Mrs. Bradbury, gloatingover
her accomplishment, could not resist the temptation to show off. On a
bright moonlight night Endicott looked up and there she sat on the
windlass, neat and composed in her white cap and neckcloth as she had
ever been at meeting at Salisbury. There could be no plainer evidence
than that. Mrs. Bradbury was sentenced to hang -- yet did not. Her
friends found means of spiriting her away and concealing her...."
In the notes at the end of the book is the following: "Thoughextensive
testimony both for and against Mary Bradbury remains in the records(see
Woodward, W. Elliot, Vol. II, "Records of the Salem Witchcraft",printed
in Roxbury, 1864, Two volumes), the circumstances of her trial are
mysterious. First complained on May 26, she was indicted July 26. Her
survivors claimed in 1710 that she had been imprisoned six months, but
since notation in the court records (Essex County Archives, "Salem
Witchcraft," Vol II, pp 34-40) explicitly says that she escaped, their
statement is obviously erroneous; maybe they meant six weeks."
(The whole story of this sordid chapter of our history is fascinatingand
well worth looking into. I recommend not only the book quoted here,but
if you have a chance to see the stage play, "The Crucible", by Arthur
Miller, don't miss it! It's one of the most powerful stage plays ever
written. -- B.B.)

Richard and family came to America in 1638, and as the King was atthat time
obstructing emigration it is probably true that he left Englandwithout royal
permission. Lived awhile on the land of his brother William, and thensettled
on "Dodge Row" in North Beverly, not far east of Wenham Lake. He andwife
Edith were members of the Wenham church before 1648 according to itsrecords.
He donated money to Harvard College in 1653. He dedicated a piece ofhis land
to a burying ground which is now known as the Cemetery on Dodge Rowbut there
are no grave stones to denote where he and Edith were buried.

At his death he gave his sons John, Richard, and Samuel each a goodfarm,
valued in his inventory at over Ll00 each. To sons Edward and Josephhe gave
the home farm, valued at Ll000. To wife Edith he gave certainappropriate
personal property, "to be her own absolutely," and gave her "the soleand
proper use of the parlor and chamber over it in my now dwellinghouse," and
made liberal provisions for annual payments to be made to her by her 5sons.

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

a Seaman and Merchant the son of unknown parents was born on theseventeenth day of March 1561, at Saint Omer, France. He marriedMarguerite Bloedel when is not known at Saint Omer. She was born about1575, at Saint Omer, and died on the fourth day of August 1607, atSaint Omer.

Alexander was apprenticed on the fourth day of August 1570 to themerchant, Jean Martin, of Lille, for ten years, to be properlyinstructed and well-taken care of.

Alexander came from Kingsweare, Devonshire, which is located acrossthe estuary of the River Dart from Dartmouth. He was involved with theNorth American fisheries at an early date. In a Criminal Case in theHigh Court of the Admiralty, the fourteenth day of December 1611, wefind that on a return trip from Newfoundland to Portugal, his ship wasseized on the twentieth day of September 1610, by Captain RobertStephens who was known to keep company with another pirate calledCaptain Drinkwater.

On the eighth day of April 1617, Alexander purchased land calledKittery Quay in Kingsweare.

Alexander was among the first of many from the Dart valley who lefthome for good and settled in America taking the names of theirchildhood haunts to the new world. Kittery, Maine is now famous as theearliest township in the state. It was so named by its first owner,Nicholas, son of Alexander, whose family had adjoining wharves to theChampenownes at Kittery in Kingsweare.

Alexander was a considerable ship owner, he owned the "Blessing,""Gift of God," "William and John," "Benediction," and "Golden."

Alexander was a major importer of salt from the mines of France andSpain to English and to the large fishing fleets off North America.The fleets had found their most productive fishing grounds surroundingthe Isles of Shoals. These islands, located ten miles offshore fromthe mouth of the Piscataqua River (where Alexander acquired propertyat Kittery Point) became the center of the dressing, salting andcuring of fish caught nearby on the Banks.

Alexander was appointed an agent of Sir Ferdinando Gorges, who hadalready developed extensive commercial operations on the coast ofMaine. In 1607, the Northern (or Plymouth) Virginia Company had begunsettlement at the mouth of the Kennebec River. However, this failed,and in March 1620 Gorges received a new charter for the region. Hiscorporation granted land patents that legalized the Plymouth Colony,and in 1629 a grant was made to the Massachusetts Bay Company, and inthis year began the great migration of Puritans to that colony. Fromthis came Alexander's interest in acquiring land and establishing newenterprises at Kittery in 1635. In that year, his supercargo ship the"Benediction" brought his son-in-law James Treworgye to Maine as hisagent where he made substantial purchases of land on the PiscataquaRiver on his behalf.

Alexander had agents here, and did business, long before he purchasedland in what was afterwards the town of Kittery. The purchase of landwas an afterthought, brought about by the King's grant to the councilof Plymouth and their grant to Sir Ferdinando Gorges. Before that,land in America was common domain, and its use and products were freeto the citizens of England. It now became cheaper to purchase land andhave the protection of the government than to do a clandestinebusiness.

From the testimony of Katherine Treworgy, we learn that Alexander wasalive on the twenty-sixth day of May 1642. We hear nothing more abouthim, and we learn from the court records that he was dead previous tothe fifth day of July 1650. By a deposition of Elizabeth Trickey, itis made to appear that he died at Kittery not long before the sixthday of July 1650, when the question to whom the estate belonged wasbrought before Godfrey, who ruled that Misses Treworgye was in no wayspossessed of the estate or responsible for any of the debts as herfather had conveyed everything before he died and no will was proved,he evidently considering the deeds of Alexander to James Treworgye andof the latter to Nicholas covered the same property and that thelatter was the later deed.

Also given as born in Kingsweare about 1574, son of Nicholas
Shapleigh who lived at Kittery Court in Kingsweare (unknown
relationship to the Robert Shapleigh living in Dartmouth, just across
the Dart River from Kingsweare.) Alexander was a merchant a member
of the "Merchant Venturers" who engaged in trade and colonization
including North America. Shapleigh owned a number of ships including
the Golden Cat (450 tons). His first investment in land was 500
acres at Kittery Point, Maine, on 5 May 1636, purchased by his agent
and grandson James Treworgy for 100 cod fish and half the net income
of a contemplated ferry. He obtained 800 acres on 10 January 1637 at
Eliot, Maine. A house (shortly a hotel), warehouse, and sawmill
(known as Warehouse Point) were constructed at Kittery Point before
1637. His main home Kittery House was built at Eliot and later gave
its name to the town of Kittery. In spring 1641 his property was
passed to son Nicholas at a price of 1500 pounds, which funds along
with sale of some land were used to pay off creditors. Kittery House
and its property became the home of Nicholas. Alexander Shapleigh
was alive 26 May 1642, but died before 5 July 1650.

December 2000. Alexander Shapleigh (the name means sheep meadow) was
probably born about 1574 in Kingsweare. Parents and grandparents are
not well known though his father was probably Nicholas Shapleigh.
There are many Shapleighs in the 1620 Visitation of Devon.
Alexander's estate Kittery Court (it still exists) was located on the
Dart River at Kingsweare.
In Kingsweare he was a merchant, shipbuilder, and shipowner of
some importance, engaging in extensive commerce in Europe and the New
World. He brought furs and skins back from America. He also was a
major importer of salt from the mines of France for use in Britain
but also for the preservation of fish being caught by the fishing
fleets off the American coast. As a "Merchant Venturer" he was
engaged in a hazardous business: Admiralty Records, for example,
record that on 20 September 1610 Alexander Shapley of Kingswear,
Master of the Restitution of Dartmouth, while en route from
Newfoundland to Portugal was seized by the pirate Robert Stephens.
His largest ship was the Golden Cat of 450 tons, a large ship for its
era, well armed for protection against pirates and enemies, but also
for capturing ships of England's enemies.
In due course he became an agent of Sir Fernando Gorges and may
have made several trip to Maine before he actually immigrated to take
advantage of its commercial possibilities in fishing, timber and
trade. Shapleigh thus moved to Kittery (then Piscataqua Plantations)
in 1635, sailing with Captain Francis Champernowne in their jointly-
owned ship Benediction. On 5 May 1636 his agent and grandson John
Treworgy purchased 500 acres of land at Kittery Point and on 10
January 1636/1637 another 800 acres in what is now Eliot, Maine (York
Deeds, Book III, Folio 2). Alexander's house was the first to be
built at Kittery Point. The house was more a hotel and the property
also soon included a warehouse or store and a sawmill.
Shapleigh's actual home or manor in Maine, Kittery House, was
built on the 800 acre property. Here also, on the river just above
Point Joslain, was constructed both a warehouse and an ordinary
(hotel/bar) to dispense liquor to the Indians when they came in to
trade their furs and skins. In addition there were a separate
kitchen building, brewhouse, barn and other out-buildings including a
garrison, a sawmill, and a gristmill.
Shapleigh's residency in Maine was brief as business took him
back to England, with the American business left in the hands of
agents and family members. Expenditures went beyond income and debts
accumulated. Then in the spring of 1642 James Treworgy, a son-in-law
residing in Kittery, announced the purchase of all of Alexander
Shapleigh's property in Maine (York County Deeds, part 1, folio 7;
deed 26 May 1642, recorded 3 July 1650, Alexander Shapleigh to Jame
Treworgy due to embarrassing debts outstanding in England, in
consideration of 700 pounds). This same property, however, has
previously on 2 April 1641 been conveyed to Alexander's son Nicholas
Shapleigh, then of Kingsweare, in consideration of 1500 pounds
English money (York County Deeds, vol. 1, part 1, folio 1). These
funds apparently went to creditors.

Heconverted to Puritanism. In 1650 he signed the charter for Harvard. Hecame to America on the ship "Arabella" in 1630

Thomas Dudley, the only son of Capt. Roger Dudley and Susanna Thorne,was born in 1576 at Northampton, England. On March 14, 1590, when hewas fourteen years old, his father was killed at the Battle of Ivery,leaving Thomas and his sister orphans, as their mother had diedpreviously.

Thomas inherited 500 pounds from his father and was raised as a pagein the family of Lord Compton, Earl of Northampton. Afterwards, hebecame a clerk to his maternal kinsman, Judge Nichols, thus obtainingsome knowledge of the law, which proved to be of great service to himin his later life. Also, while still in his minority, he was trainedin Latin by a "Mrs. Purefoy", who was probably his maternalgrandmother, Mary Purefoy. All in all, he gained a competent educationand was able to understand any Latin author as well as most educatedpeople of his time.

In 1596, at the age of twenty, Thomas received a Captain's commissionin the army. According to Cotton Mather, "the young sparks aboutNorthampton were none of them willing to enter into the service untila commission was given to our young Dudley to be their Captain, andthus presently there were four-score that listed under him." Thomasand his company of volunteers went to France and fought on the side ofHenry IV, King of France, at the siege of Amiens in 1597.

On the conclusion of peace in 1597, Thomas returned to England,settled at Northampton and became acquainted with Dod, Hildersham andother Puritan leaders and himself became a Puritan. In 1603, hemarried Dorothy Yorke, daughter of Edmonde Yorke, yeoman, of CottonEnd, Northamptonshire. She was described by Cotton Mather as "agentlewoman both of good estate and good extraction." By her he hadfive children. During the period from about 1600 to 1630, Thomas wassteward (manager of estates) to Theophilus, Earl of Lincoln, who hadbeen deep in debt prior to Thomas' stewardship. After only a few yearsof management by Thomas, however, the Earl was out of debt and wasprospering. Also, during this period, Thomas became acquainted withJohn Cotton, renowned minister of Boston, Lincolnshire (and later ofBoston, MA). The Puritans were considered by many political leadersand by the Church of England to be a threat and were subjected tosubstantial persecution. During the 1620's, relations between theChurch of England and the Puritans worsened. Continuing pressure ledto a decision by a large group of Puritans to emigrate to New England.

In 1629, Thomas Dudley was one of the signers of the agreement to formthe Massachusetts Bay Company. On Oct. 20, 1629, in the city ofLondon, he was chosen one of the five officers to come to America withthe Royal Charter.

The Massachusetts Bay Company was essentially similar to any othertrading company of the time, except that its members had managed toobtain possession of the company charter, or patent, and thus couldtake it with them to the New World. With possession of the patent thatestablished their rights and privileges, they could control their owngovernment and elect their own magistrates. The group elected JohnWinthrop governor and Thomas Dudley deputy governor in October 1629.

It is difficult to understand Thomas Dudley's decision to leaveEngland for the unknown shores of North America. In England he hadfriends, position and prosperity. But he decided to leave all thisbehind. Apparently, the pressures of persecution were so great that hewas virtually forced to leave England or give up his religiousconvictions.

In 1630, Thomas and his wife and children sailed to New England withthe Winthrop Fleet, a group of eleven vessels carrying 700 passengers.The Dudley family was on the flagship, the Arbella. The Fleet leftEngland in the Spring and arrived in Salem in June. Not approving ofSalem as the capital, John Winthrop ordered the fleet south along thecoast to Charlestown, ultimately settling at Newtown. Before leavingEngland, Winthrop had been elected governor and Thomas Dudleydeputy-governor. Many of those who came with Winthrop separated andfounded Roxbury, Lynn, Medford, Cambridge and Watertown. According toThomas Dudley, about 200 of the emigrants died the first year in NewEngland.

A somewhat violent disagreement between Dudley and Winthrop, the firstof many owing to Dudley's touchy and over-bearing temper, occurredwhen Winthrop abandoned the chosen settlement and moved to Boston.Dudley subsequently moved to Ipswich but after a short time, in orderto be nearer the seat of government, settled at Roxbury. He built onthe west side of Smelt Brook, just across the watering place, at thefoot of the hill where the road that runs up to the First Church joinsthe Town Street.

Although Thomas Dudley was 54 years of age when he landed in NewEngland, he still had a long public career ahead of him. Throughoutthe rest of his life, he was almost constantly in public office. Hewas four times elected governor and thirteen times madedeputy-governor. When not occupying either of these offices, he wasusually to be found in the House as an Assistant. When the StandingCouncil with the idea of forming a body of members for life, Dudleywas one of the three first chosen. When the New England Federation wasformed in 1643, Dudley was one of the two commissioners chosen byMassachusetts to confer with those of the other colonies. There ishardly an event in the life of the colony during his own in which hedid not act a part.

Thomas Dudley and Simon Bradstreet (both future governors) foundedCambridge in 1631. Thomas, however, lived for many years in Roxbury(now part of Boston). In 1636, he was one of twelve men appointed bythe General Court to consider the matter of a college at Newtown(Cambridge) and was one to report favorably on the project. In 1650,as governor, Thomas signed the original charter of the new college,named Harvard College.

Thomas was a strict Puritan and clashed several times with otherleaders of the colony. He was known to be very inflexible in hisviews. Cotton Mather wrote that if Thomas Dudley had been alive at thetime of the witchcraft trouble, New England would never have beendisgraced by the bloodshed of innocent persons.He was one of theprincipal founders of the First Church at Boston and in the church nowstanding at Berkley and Marlborough streets is a tablet with thefollowing inscription:

THOMAS DUDLEY. FOR SEVENTEEN YEARS GOVERNOR OR DEPUTY GOVERNOR OF THEMASSACHUSETTS BAY COLONY. AS GOVERNOR HE SIGNED THE CHARTER OF HARVARDCOLLEGE. BORN IN ENGLAND 1576. DIED IN ROXBURY 1653. A MAN OF APPROVEDWISDOM AND OF MUCH GOOD SERVICE TO THE STATE.

Thomas was evidently as strong in body as he was unyielding in temperand unbreakable in will. Dorothy Dudley died in 1643 and Thomasremarried to Catherine Dighton. By her he had three children, the mostnoted being Joseph Dudley (1647) the future royal governor ofMassachusetts, who was born when the old man was 70 years of age.

Dudley was an able man with marked executive and business ability. Hisintegrity was unimpeachable. His eye, though somewhat religiouslyjaundiced, was single to the public interest as he saw it. He wassomething of a scholar and wrote poetry, read in his day, butunreadable in ours. In him, New England Puritanism took on some of itsharshest and least pleasant aspects. He often won approval, but neveraffection. He was positive, dogmatic, austere, prejudiced, unlovable.He dominated by sheer strength of will as a leader in his community.Like many of the others, he was no friend to popular government and astrong believer in autocracy. Opposed to the clergy in one respect, hebelieved that the state should control even the church and enforceconformity as the superior, and not the handmaid, of theecclesiastical organization.

Thomas was a thrifty man, who became one of the largest landowners inRoxbury, He was a "trading, money-getting man" and was said to besomewhat hard and "prone to usury."When he died, his property wasvalued at £1,560 and included bandoleers, corselets, some Latin books,some on law, some that indicate a taste for literature,and many on thedoctrines of religion.

On July 31, 1653, Thomas Dudley died at the age of 77 at Roxbury,Massachusetts. There was a great funeral, with the most distinguishedcitizens as pall bearers. the clergy were present in large numbers.Military units were present with muffled drums and reversed arms. Hewas buried at Roxbury, near his home, where his tomb may be seen onthe highest point of land. His epitaph was written by Rev. EzekielRogers and reads as follows:

In books a Prodigal they say;
A table talker rich in sense;
And witty without wits pretense;
An able champion in debate;
Whose words lacked number but not weight;
Both Catholic and Christian too;
A soldier timely, tried and true;
Condemned to share the common doom;
Reposes here in Dudley's tomb;

There has been much debate among historians and some genealogistsconcerning descent of the Massachusetts Dudleys from the famous BaronsDudley of England. Suffice it to say that Rev. Samuel Dudley, oldestson of Thomas, claimed such descent during his lifetime and apparentlywas not challenged. Furthermore, Thomas Dudley was accustomed to usingthe arms (seal) of the Barons Dudley to seal legal documents bearinghis signature. In fact his will, written with his own hand, was sealedwith the Dudley arms, indicating that he was descended from theSutton-Dudleys of Dudley Castle. It was a serious offense underEnglish law to use arms under false pretenses.

Mr. Marshall Kirk, of the New England Historic Genealogical Society,has conducted a thorough review (as yet unpublished) of the *SIX*previously-published theories of descent of Gov. Thomas Dudley'sfather from baronial Sutton-Dudleys (which include the one you havementioned).

Mr. Kirk offers a seventh choice, which (like the others) has not beenproven by recovery of definitive documentary evidence of paternity,but which (unlike the others) appears to corroborate all the knowncircumstantial evidence for these Dudleys' connections with thebaronial sytem. This line also appears in the most recent edition ofGary Boyd Roberts' _Ancestors of American Presidents_ (1stauthoritative ed., Baltimore, 1993), pp. 200-201. Briefly, Marshall'stheory of the governor's descent is as follows:

Theymade and repaired barrels, hogsheads, butts, tubs, and casks of somevarieties, and to them was assigned the responsibility for the safeshipping of liquids and perishables. The ability of shipments toendure long voyages and rough handling depended upon the cooper'sskill. Perhaps their principal products were hogsheads for rum,molasses, and fish.

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

At the age of 25, Henry was a farmer in Ormsby, England. He had alittle inheritance from his mother, more than enough to equip hisholding of land. His wife Joan Nudd was age 23 at her marriage and hada baby boy. Her husband was Roger Nudd, son
of John, who died in Ormsby 1629 and a friend of her second husband,Henry Dow.
In 1630 Henry and Joan were of the established church and it isthought they may have been dissenters at the time of their departurefor New England. In 1640 Henry turns up in Hampton, NH but proceededto Watertown. He stayed in Watertown for
several years and was admitted a freeman 2 May 1638 but held no officein that town. The only mention of him in Watertown is in land recordsand vital statistics.
In 1644 Henry started overland for Hampton. On 16 June 1640 there isan entry in the town records, "grant of a house lot to Henry Dow, ifhe come." By the time he removed to Hampton he sold his Watertownproperty for enough to buy triple the amount
of property in Hampton. In 1644 he bought his house lot from JohnSanders, freeman, of Ipswich in 1634, who came early to Hampton, butsold out, went to Newbury, returning finally to Hampton. In 1649 Henrybought the homestead of William Wakefield,
freeman of 1638, who moved to Newbury in 1646.
In Hampton, Henry was a selectman, Deputy to the General Court ofMassachusetts and was heavily involved in the trading of real estate.

[The Book of Dow by Robert Piercy Dow 1929

Henry Dow, xaaf, [a] (The Book of Dow, page 27-34)

to be known as a progenitor of the largest American family, was at 25a farmer in Ormsby. He had a little inheritance from his mother, morethan enough to equip his holding of land. Orrnsby is not far fromRunham. Its parish register was copied in 1880 by Rev R S Blofield,rector. In it occur three important items, which prove that Henry b1606 of Runham is Henry of Ormsby and America:

Edward Dow and Elizabeth Robbins were married ye xxvij of January,anno Dom 1628.
Henry Dow and Jane Nud was married ye 11 of February 1630
oe Anno Domini 1631
Thomas doue filius Thomas Doue et Joane uxoris ej'us vicesimo
Septi mo die December baptirjatus fuit.

The mention of the father as Thomas is an obvious pen slip. We followthe youngster to America, where he died at 10.

It is clear that the brothers Edward and Henry were together ashusbandmen in Ormsby, that each found a wife there, that the ties ofRunham gradually were loosed as Ormsby ties grew strong. What happenedto Edward we have not traced. Of Henry's path, the account is fairlyample. Of Joan Nudd we know but little: not her maiden name. She was23 at her marriage and had a baby boy. Her husband was Roger Nudd, sonof John, who died in Ormsby 1629. Probably Henry and Roger were fellowfarmers. The Nudds were numerous in Norfolk, mostly in the seawardparish. Vital rec. of that parish are not extant prior to 1671. TheNudd affairs are fully discussed under the chapter of Thomas Nudd,immigrant of 1637.

Under what circumstances Henry and Joan became dissenters is notknown. They were of the established church in 1630. There arose inOrmsby a great deal of dissatisfaction, religious and otherwise. Thiscrystallized into a determination of seven families to try the NewWorld. It was an arrangement planned long in advance and wasconsummated, on the same boat. Hotten's Original Lists give all thefamilies, who afterwards appear together in Hampton, N H the Page,Moulton, Marston families intermarried with Dow with especialfrequency. It has often been asserted, with more or less cynicism,that a desire to better one's material condition was the paramountreason for going to America, desire for religious freedom being verysecondary. It may be that these people were at no time dissenters inEngland. They had to be, in Massachusetts Bay, for there were noothers. That all of them were of strong religious feeling is sure. Noothers could stand the intensely religious atmosphere of New England,a situation in which one must travel a very narrow path of rectitude,almost all ordinary pleasures being outside the pale. If thepercentage of immigrants whose motive was improvement of materialconditions and not intense religiousness had been at all large, thestern puritan life could not have maintained its iron grip, but wouldhave degenerated into the free and easy morals of Virginia during thesame period. In Massachusetts Bay all were of the persuasion whichbecame Congregationalism, in contrast to that of the Plymouth colonywhose notion of Government became Presbyterianism.

In the Rolls Office, Chancery Lane, London, is a small parchment-boundvolume labelled on the cover:

T C 27. 979 A A. D. 1637 13 Car. I
This is filled with entries of persons "desirous to pass beyond seas"and consists of 16 pp, most of which are taken up by names of Puritanson the way to Holland. The contents has been copied into Hotten'sOriginal Lists, Drake's Founders of New England, etc.

The entry vital to us is:

"These people went to New England: with William: Andrewes: of IpswichM'r of the.- John: and Dorethy: of Ipswich and with William Andreweshis son M'r of the Rose: of Yarmouth Aprill the 1lth 1637. Theexamination of Henerey Dowe of Ormsby in Norf f Husband man, ageed 29yeares and Joane: his wife ageed 30 yeares with four children, and oneSaruant Ann Maning aged 17 yeares, are desirous to passe into NewEngland to inhabitt."

This is all clear. Henry Dow of Ormsby married the widow of hisfriend, a year older than himself, took her baby boy; had threechildren of his own and was able to start with a servant. This latterdoes not indicate affluence. Passage to America w as very costly.Young men and women of good family gladly indentured themselves for along term if the employer would pay the passage. It was in this waythat Margaret Cole, who became Henry Dow's second wife, came to Dedhamwith the family of Mitchill Metcalfe. But, it does show that Henry wasdecidedly thrifty or charitable to bring the maid. Of Ann Manning,saruant ageed 17 nothing further appears; no doubt she found a husbandas soon as her term of service was up. The Andrewes, father and son,were in the regular business of carrying emigrants across, so they donot appear again in these pages.

From Henry Dow are descended nearly three-fifths of all the Dows ofAmerica. The party landed in Boston after a long voyage, no details ofwhich have appeared. One child either died on voyage or on land beforeWatertown statistics were begun. How and why Henry parted from hiscompanions we do not know. All but he turned up 1640 in Hampton andasked him to join them there. Henry proceeded almost at once toWatertown, just being settled about ten miles west of Boston.Presumably the selection of the place was influenced by theopportunity to become a grantee on equal terms, with allotment of landfree. No settler in those days had to buy land unless it was thoughtdesirable to pay the Indians for a title. He remained seven years inWaterto wn, a very inconspicuous citizen. He was admitted a freemanMay 2, 1638, but held no office in his town. In fact, the onlymentions of him in Watertown are in the land records and vitalstatistics. He could have had free land in Hampton in 1640, butdecided not to accept it. There is reason to think that he stayed inWatertown until the land boomed. In a few years the settled placecommanded a price at which the original settlers took profits andmoved on to begin anew and clear forest land. We know that Henry Dowleft Watertown a moderate capitalist.

In Lands, Grants & Possessions, first Inventory, we find: Henry Dow

1. An Homestall of Eight acres more or less bounded on theEaft with Hill ftreet and weft with William Rix the North with ThomasHaftings & the South with Robert Veazey.

2. A farm of Ninety seven acres of Vpland in the 5divifion

In the third Inventory is entered:

Henry Dow.

1. An Homestall of Eight Acres by eftimation bounded onthe Eaft w'th the highway thewest with Thomas Smith and Eliz Barronthe North w'th Thomas Boyson & the South w'th William Godfree in hispossession.

Clearly, between the two inventories an almost complete change ofadjacent land ownership had taken place, the original settlers sellingout to new comers. Henry's farm has not been placed, no effort havingbeen made. The home was on the west side of School St.

The little book of Watertown vital records is extant:

The records of the Births, Deathes and Marriages in Watertown

Keppt according to the order of Court Made in the yeare 1638.

p 6. 1638 Jofeth Dow of Henry and Jone Dow borne the 20'd - 11 mo

1641 Daniell the son of Henry & Margaret Dow borne 22 (7)
Thomas the son of Henry & Jone Dow buried 10 (5)
1643 Mary the daughter of Henry & Margaret Dow borne 14 (7)

In the transcript of Don Gleason Hill of the First Church (of Dedham):Margarette Cole our sister by p'dence being rnaried to a brother ofWatertown named Dow was dismissed to y't Church 1643. The wedding wasnot at Watertown.

Thus is recorded the birth of Joseph Dow, first Dow ever born inAmerica, whose posterity is the most numerous; also the death of hisolder brother; the death of his mother at 33, twice a wife, five timesa mother; the birth of two new children, following his father's speedyremarriage. We must not accuse Henry of indelicacy. In primitive NewEngland life for a man without a wife's help was hard indeed; for awoman without help from a husband harder yet; for children withoutboth parents almost unsupportable. Margaret Cole had known Henry Dowin Ormsby, had come to America in 1639 with the Metcalfe family andhad settled in Dedham. She was indentured, just as Ann Manning hadbeen, and was younger than Henry Dow. In First Church Dedham: MargaretCoole, a maid servant,, giving good satisfaction to ye church wasreceived in ye 3rd month of this yeare, 1639. Others from Ormsby wereadmitted about the same time. Margaret survived her husband by 16years; in 2nd (Martgrit Dow) Aug 23, 166 1, Richard Kimball ofIpswich. He was of Watertown 1641 to 1644 and came then to know theDows.

In 1644 the time was ripe to move. Henry sold out all his lands andstarted overland for Hampton. In that town is an entry: June 16, 1640,grant of a house Henry Dow, if he come. Evidently he had thought thenof moving. But, he had become an astute land speculator. In 1644 hegot enough for his Watertown property to buy treble the propertyoffered as a gift. In 1644 he bought his house lot from John Sanders,freeman, of Ipswich in 1634, who came early to Hampton, but sold out,went to Newbury, returning finally to Hampton. In 1649 Henry boughtthe homestead of William Wakefield, freeman of 1638, who moved toNewbury in 1646. It was from this latter plot that Henry set off 10acres for Thomas Nudd as his home. He bought a house alr eady builtfrom John Sanborn (where the store of J J Leavitt stood in 1890). Theoriginal Sanders purchase was on the road from Hampton village toHampton Beach about 1 1/2 miles from the ocean. In the part of thetown now known as Boar's Head was the Oxe Common, land where the shareholders pastured. The Cow Common was divided in 1645 into 147 sharesand allotted to proprietors of house lots, Hen: Dow receiving 3 sharesby virtue of proportionate lot owning. The homestead remained long inthe family, sold by Olive Dow, unm, of the 6th generation.

The fates were much kinder in Hampton than in Watertown. Henry wasthere a man of influence, his merits known. Of course, currency wasscarce to all alike and it was wholly in the usual conduct of businessthat Henry in 1650 binds himself to pay a debt in good merchantablewheat. He was selectman in 1651, Deputy to the General Court ofMassachusetts 1655-6. He traded briskly in real estate at all times.In 1650 he sells to Manuel Hiliard a 10 acre house lot and 3 acres ofsalt marsh for money . He signs his name this year as Doue. Feb 16,1659, he made provision for his oldest son: a house and barn boughtfrom Thomas Sleeper, 100 rods of adjoining land, a share of the oxecommon, the share of the cow common bought from Thomas Sleeper, als o6 acres of planting ground in the east field. He was appointed withtwo others to examine the land grants and highways, but died beforethis was completed, Apr 21, 1659. He was one of the dozen men ofHampton always styled "gentleman" and as "Mr." His children:

a. Thomas b Eng; bap Dec 27, 1631; d July 10, 1642

b. Henry b Eng 1634

c. _____ b Eng. Appears on manifest 1637 but neverlater; probably d on voyage

f. Mary b Sept 14, 1643

g. Hannah b Hampton, Hampton rec gives 1649, and d HamptonAug 6, 1704

h. Thomas b Apr 28,1653. If this were right he would havem at l5. Somehow the rec of Hampton are mixed. Hannah was b about 4years earlier and Thomas about 7 years than the dates of record

i. Jeremiah b Sept 6, 1657; also should be earlier

All men and women of early Hampton attended strictly to theirreligious observances. In the meeting house every detail was arranged:

All the men to sett at the west end and all the women to sett at theeast end and the devotion to be at the greet poest that is betwin thetwo windos. Second seat: hen grene hene dou steu Sanborn tho louit wififield jo merian.

Margaret Cole Dow sat by ould mistris husse her dafter husse goodyswaine goody pebody goody brown mistris stanyen Mary Perkinges. BroPage and Bro: Dow were the committee to negotiate for the services ofRev Seaborn Cotton after the resignation of Rev. Wheelwright.

Ten years prior to making his last will and testament, Henry Dow filedthe following, now in Probate.Court at Exeter: Upon a promise madeunto my former wife that if I were the longer liver I would make himas my own sonne, he now being grown to man's estate, I doe now andfreely give and grant unto Thomas Nudd, my sonne in law to him and hisheirs a pareell of lande out of my house lott, containing 10 acres beit more or lesse, etc.

Thus God, who tempers the wind to the shorn lamb, proved kind tolittle Tommy Nudd, to whom was given a stepfather before he was 2 anda stepmother at 12. His name occurs with that of his half-brotherHenry many times as witness, etc. In 1648 he was official keeper ofthe calves at a princely salary of 11£ a year. The job was nosinecure; he drove all calves to the common at sunrise and separatedeach to its home at sunset. In the list of the first selectmen ofHampton his name appears among five. This was error, perhaps arisingfrom his position keeping calves. He had a share in the Common, thegift of Henry Dow. In 1663 the shares were Henry Dow ab 1, Daniel Dow1, bought from Nicholas Boulter, Henry's widow 1.

The original of Henry's will is on file in Salem, Mass. It reads:

The last Will and testament of Henry Dowe of Hampton, being sick andweake of body but sound of understanding and memorie:

The estate was carefully administered, as was customary in thosedays,. and the appraisal made by three disinterested experts. Some ofthe valuations now seem very high, some very low.

Thomas was a culler of staves in 1655. GDMNH reports a different orderof births of his children than does Dow. The ancestors of Thomas werenamed FELBRIGGE.

From Jacob Chapman, p. 7: "...is supposed to have come from England in1630, or not much later, and settled in Watertown, Mass. He is said tohave been a mariner in early life, and to have been a master of avessel before he emigrated from Lincolnshire in England. There is nodoubt that he and his family were settled in Watertown in 1636...In1639, the second summer after the settlement of Hampton, N.H., John(son of Thomas) Philbrick moved to Hampton, and his younger brother,Thomas, soon followed him. We are told that 'The first settlers ofHampton were attracted to the place by the fishing, the fowling, thebest of clams, and the salt marshes, almost ready for the scythe.' In1645-6, Thomas Philbrick, Sen., a grantee of eight lots, sold hisestate in Watertown to Isaac Stearns, and in 1650 or '51 he hadremoved to Hampton, where his elder sons lived. In 1661 he bought ofJohn Moulton, land joining the farms of his son James and his son inlaw, John Cass."

According to Moriarty (NEHGR 108:257, p. 257) Thomas was on the Buresmanor court rolls on October 12, 1631 where he was amerced as a tenantof the manor for a default and came to New England about 1635 where hebecame a proprietor in Watertown. By 1655 he was a culler of staves asa profession.

7316. Anthony* Taylor ² was born about 1607^² and died on 4 Nov 1687 in Hampton, NH^² about age 80.

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

Abstracted from an extensive discussion in H. M. Taylor, p. 27-60: Theevidence suggests that Anthony (a feltmaker by trade) was a passengeron the Ann & Elizabeth that left London in April, 1635 with adestination of Barbados and St. Christopher (St. Kitts). He then cameto Strawberry Bank in 1636, and then moved to Hampton, the nextsettlement (about 10 miles) to the north. His first recordedappearance there was in 1639, not long after the beginnings of Hampton(initially called Winnacunnet, in fall 1639 named Hampton) in October1638. In 1654 he was allowed to keep the ordinary (inn) at Hampton and"to sell wine and strong water" and his family lived there for atleast 25 years. He was active in many land transactions, appeared aswitness and appraiser on many occasions, was involved in variousgovernmental petitions, served on many juries, elected as a selectman,appointed county keeper of the prison, and became the Constable ofHampton. One of the most important was his signing of the Pikepetition, one of the first recorded protests against the severity ofthe government in dealing with the rights of freemen. (Robert Pike ofSalisbury had criticised "the Lords Brethren" of Boston for passing alaw making it a misdemeanor for anyone not an ordained minister of theChurch to preach on the Sabbath--a law intended to stop the preachingof two men of Baptist doctrines having Quaker tendencies. Pike'spunishment was disenfranchisement and a heavy fine.)

Anthony took the Oath of Allegiance (Freeman's oath) to Massachusettsin 1648 and the Oath of Fidelity on April 16, 1655, the latterqualifying him to hold certain offices and to vote for magistrates ordeputies. In 1677, he, with 49 others, petitioned King Charles II fora continuance of the Massachusetts jurisdiction. The petition wasdenied, and Hampton became part of the newly created Royal Province ofNew Hampshire, subject directly to the King or his representatives.

Among the cases deliberated by the Court during Anthony's tenure as ajurist (1675-1678) were two clearly reflecting how breaches ofmorality were treated. (1) "Deborah Corlis of Haverhill, presented forcommitting fornication and having charged one as the father whom sheafterwards acquitted, also refusing to challenge any man but takingall upon herself, court sentenced her, for refusal to declare thefather, to be corporally punished and to pay a fine." (2) "RobertSmarte, jr., presented with Elenor, his wife, for committingfornication, confessed, but she did not appear on account of hercondition. Court Ordered that they be whipped or pay a fine, and hewas to give bond for his wife's appearance to receive her corporalpunishment." It is evident from court records as well as service on aGrand Jury that Anthony was, with many people of that time, a believerin witchcraft. He signed a Grand Jury verdict, 1680, determining thatthere were "grounds of suspicion" that a year-old child was
murdered by witchcraft.

A stream of about seven miles in length was named Taylor's River afterAnthony Taylor. It forms for some distance the boundary line betweenHampton Falls and Hampton. It becomes the Hampton River after itreaches the saltmarsh and flows to the Atlantic. In the early days itwas the natural line demarcation in religious and political divisions,served as a favorite fishing place, and was the site of the firstknown sawmill (1658) in Hampton. A New Hampshire historic cite markermemorializes the Taylor River.

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

While there is no doubt that Phillipa was the given name of AnthonyTaylor's wife, that Mingay is her surname is questionable. Thompson(Drake Family, p. 35) reports that surname, but there is no otherrecord of her with that surname, and the only male Mingay in the areaold enough to have been her father had no children (based onconversation with George Freeman Sanborn of NEHGS). It is includedhere on the possibility that it could be the appropriate surname

a Farmer the third son was born in 1589, at South Hampton, England. Atthe age of twenty-four he married Hester Mercer in 1613, at SouthHampton .

Nathaniel came with his father in the "William and Francis", whichsailed from London the ninth day of March 1632. At Hampton the meadowsbelonged to the town at first. These marshes and meadows, bearingspontaneously a species of grass on which when dried the cattle couldwell subsist, were at this early period, when no considerable clearingaway of the forest had been affected, of great value to the settlers.The people had decided that one-fourth of the meadows and marshesshould be equally apportioned by lot among those inhabitants who hadno cattle, or a less number of goats than four. Their hay growinghowever, to be distributed among the others, until such time as theyshould have cattle of their own, or sell the meadows to those havingcattle. The rest of the meadows were to be divided by lot among theinhabitants having cattle, according to the number thereof. The townalso provided that upland lots for planting should be laid out by lotto all the inhabitants, according to the number of persons and cattlebelonging to each.

Nathaniel and the other inhabitants began early to exercise their newprivileges as legislators, and before the second year of thesettlement had passed by, had enacted a small body of orders, madenecessary by the circumstances of a frontier life. Setting fire to thewoods and thus destroying the feed of the cattle was forbidden. So wasdigging a saw-pit and leaving it open, and the offender was madeliable to pay the damage caused thereby to man or beast.

Nathaniel at the age of fifty-six died in 1645, at Hampton, NewHampshire.

John first settled at Watertown, Massachusetts, where he marriedDeborah and their first two children were born. He moved to Hampton,New Hampshire about 1644 where Deborah's Aunt Ruth (Leete) Dalton,wife of Rev. Timothy Dalton, then lived.

The earliest record found at Edgartown, Massachusetts relating to Johnis dated June 8, 1654, when he was chosen as one of the magistrate'sassistants. He was part of the Edgartown train band in 1662, and hisname is mentioned in the town records in 1660, 1663 and 1664, eitheras drawing lots in the various divisions of the common land, or inother minor connections.

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

Our immigrant ancestor of the Turpin family was Thomas Turpin, as adeposition of Leonard Weeks shows: "Leonard Weeks, aged about 40years, knew in England three reputed daughters of Thomas Turpin;namely Elizabeth, Jane, and Annie, which three daughters are now cometo this country and are married to James Leach, Philip Adams, andRichard Endell. Dated 26 Apr. 1672." NEHG Register, Vol. 23, p. 168.Thomas Turpin, born in England, date unknown; died in America bydrowning on 29 October 1649; married in England, date unknown, Jane----. Widow Jane Turpin married second, Thomas Furson.

Thomas was a fisherman and he and his family lived on the Isles ofShoals. He, in company with Richard Cummings, bought a plantation fromFrancis Williams at Salt Creek on the Piscataqua River, 6 October1645. Cummings bought Turpin out in 1648 according to a deposition byRoger and Ann Knight. After Thomas Turpin's death, the administrationof his estate was given to William Payne who laid claim in theestate's name to half of the Williams land because he found (possibly)that Cummings had never paid Turpin for Turpin's part of the Williamsland. In 1652, Cummings settled with the estate for 14 pounds. Theestate was heavily indebted to Mr. Nicholas Treqorgy and Mr. WilliamHilton, among others. In 1665, Cummings paid Jane, through herson-in-law, Philip Adams, 20 shillings for her dower rights. In 1674,Jane showed her displeasure with this settlement and tried todemonstrate her further claims against Cummings by raiding Cummings'corn field, accompanied by her daughters and grandchildren. She wasbrought to court to explain her actions and finally was allowed to suein an orderly manner. Unfortunately, we do not know the outcome ofthis action.

He registered as ahusbandman, ae. 38, with wife Anne, 38, children Henry, Mary, Ann,Jane and Bridget, and two servants, Adam Gooddens, 20, and Alice Eden,18. John and his family landed at Boston June 8, 1637, and settledfirst at Newbury, where their son was born in 1638, and they wereoriginal grantees and settlers at Hampton, N.H., where Ruth was born.He was made a freeman May 22, 1639, appears in most early town andchurch records, and was a grand-juror 1648-9."

From Joseph Dow's History of Hampton, N.H., 1893, Chapter on theTownship Grant:
"In the autumn of 1638, Winnacunnet remaining still unsettled, and thetime allowed to the inhabitants of Newbury for a removal hither havingnearly expired, a petition, signed by Steven Bachiler and others, waspresented to the General Court, asking leave to settle here. Theirprayer was granted. The record stands thus: "The Court grants that thepetitioners, Mr. Steven Bachiler, Christo: Hussey, Mary Hussey, vidua,Thom: Cromwell, Samuell Skullard, John Osgood, John Crosse, SamulGreenfield, John Molton, Tho: Molton, Willi: Estow, Willi: Palmer,Willi: Sergant, Richard Swayne, Willi: Sanders, Robert Tucke, withdiverse others, shall have liberty to begin a plantation atWinnacunnet and Mr. Bradstreete, Mr. Winthrope, Junior and Mr. Rawson,or some two of them, are to assist in setting out the place of thetowne, and apportioning the severall quantity of land to each man, soas nothing shalbee done therein without leave from them, or two ofthem."

The ancestors of General Jonathan Moulton were among the traditionalfifty-six inhabitants from the County of Norfolk, England, who firstsettled in the town of Hampton--then Winnicumet--in the year 1638.

The names of John Multon (sometimes "Moulton") and Thomas Moultonappear in a partial list of these original settlers, which may befound in Belknap's History of New Hampshire, Vol. I, page 37.

General Jonathan Moulton was a descendent of John above named: he wasborn in Hampton, New Hampshire, June 30th, 1726, and died at Hamptonin the year 1788, at the age of 62. He was a large proprietor inlands, and several flourishing towns in the interior of this State owetheir early settlement to his exertions and influence. This fact ismentioned in "Farmer and Moore's Gazetteer," published in 1823. Whenhe was thirty-seven years old, the town of Moultonborough was grantedto him and sixty-one others, by the Masonian proprietors, November 17,1763. He was already noted for the distinguished service which he hadrendered in the Indian wars, which ended with the Ossipee tribe, alongthe northerly borders of Moultonborough, in 1763. Many of hisadventures during this bloody period have been preserved andtransmitted to the present time; enough indeed, to fill a large spacein this brief sketch.

It may be well to preserve one of these incidents in this record:

An octogenarian in the vicinity of Moultonborough relates that, duringthe Indian wars, Colonel, afterwards General Jonathan Moulton went outwith a scouting party from Dover. After numerous adventures, they metwith and attacked a party of six Indians, near a place now known asClark's Landing, on the shore of Lake Winnipesaukee, all of whom fellin the skirmish which ensued, with one exception. The Colonel had alarge dog with him, which, after the affray was over, he placed uponthe track of the escaped Indian. The dog ran off on to the ice. Theparty followed, and as they approached the entrance, of what is nowGreen Bay they saw in the distance that the dog had the Indian downupon the ice; and when they reached the spot the Indian was dead, --killed by the dog.

The active services of the General in these border wars had made him,at an early age, well and favorably known to the leading men of thatday. His numerous raids and scouts, in the region occupied by theOssipee tribes, had made him well acquainted with the wilderness, andwith the adjacent country upon the western shores of the lake, and nodoubt secured to him the land grant which he obtained, in common withmany of his companions in arms. He was rightly placed at the head ofthe grantees, by the Masonian proprietors, and the town ofMoultonborough, which was named after him, perpetuates the memory ofhis rugged virtues and of his enterprising character. His descendantshave been inhabitants of Moultonborough and of Centre Harbor to thepresent time.

After obtaining the grant, the General devoted much of the remainderof his life to this territory, he obtained from Governor Wentworth thegrant of land now known as the town of New Hampton, which was formerlya part of Moultonborough gore, then called "Moultonborough Addition."The following amusing account of the way in which General Moultonsecured this last grant appears in Fogg's Gazeteer, and is to be foundin other histories of those early times:

"In 1763, General Jonathan Moulton, of Hampton, having an ox weighingone thousand four hundred pounds, fattened for the purpose, hoisted aflag upon his horns, and drove him to Portsmouth as a present toGovernor Wentworth.

The General refused any compensation for the ox, but said he wouldlike a charter of a small gore of land he had discovered adjoining thetown of Moultonborough, of which he was one of the principalproprietors. The Governor granted this simple request of GeneralMoulton, and he called it New Hampton, in honor of his native town.

This small gore of land contained nineteen thousand four hundred andtwenty-two acres, a part of which now constitutes Centre Harbor."

Thus it appears that General Moulton, by his energy and enterpriselargely contributed to the formation of three towns -- named NewHampton, by him; another named Moultonborough for him; and the third,Centre Harbor, was carved from a part of his grant called"Moultonborough Addition."

Many curious traditions are still extant with regard to GeneralMoulton. He is said to have traded his soul to Satan for a boot fullof gold and then to have cheated the Devil by removing the bottom ofthe boot so it could not be filled. After his death the ghosts ofhimself and his wife were thought to revisit the old mansion by night,he, thumping with his heavy gold headed cane, and his wife movingalong in her rustling silk gown. The ghosts were "laid" with formalexercises and afterwards walked no more.

General Moulton is the hero of Whittier's poem, "The New Wife and theOld."

From Dow's History of Hampton we take the following:

We have met General Moulton often in these pages; but here let uspause and take our leave of him, for we shall meet him no more. Wehave seen him honoured year after year to represent his townsmen inthe Legislature. We have seen him the intrepid commander, inresponsible positions, amid the perils of war. We have never seen himfalse to his trust or incompetent in its execution. A certainreticence and lofty bearing in the mastship affair once aroused thedispleasure of his fellow citizens; and perhaps the same qualities,with his general characteristics as a man in advance of his age, andshrewd in his business may have held the envy and dislike of manythrough life.

And yet one cannot believe he would have been so honored and trustedthrough a most critical period of our history, had he been unworthy.

General Jonathan was a descendant of John, of the fourth generation.(Jacob', John', John'.)

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

When a young man, Christopher Hussey spent a short time in Hollandwhere he met and married his wife, Theodate. Her father consented tothe marriage on condition that they go to America with him. They cameon the ship William and Francis arriving in Boston on 5 June 1632.They settled first in Lynn, Massachusetts (then called Saugus) wheretheir son, Stephen, was the first child baptized by his grandfather,Rev. Stephen Bachiler, who had organized the church there.

Christopher and his family early removed to Newbury where, in 1636, hewas chosen as one of the "seven men," as they were first called, then"townsmen," then "townsmen select," and finally "selectmen."

Two years later, in 1638, this family settled in Hampton, NH, with hisfather-in-law and others. He was one of the deacons of the church in1640 and held several town offices as moderator, town clerk,selectman, and many times representative to the General Court. In1679, the King ordered the settlers "to erect New Hampshire into aseparate government under jurisdiction of a president and council tobe appointed by himself." John Cutts was appointed president andChristopher Hussey one of the six councilors.

In 1659, he joined with others, including Tristram Coffin and StephenGreenleaf, to form the 10 proprietors who purchased nine-tenths ofNantucket Island from Gov. Thomas Mayhew. Christopher never lived inNantucket but deeded all his lands and rights there to his sons,Stephen and John, although Stephen was the only one to actually makehis home there.

From the Batchelder Genealogy, p. 77:

Of Christopher's early education and employment little is known...With many of his countrymen he was driven by religious persecution toHolland, and it was though he was one of the parishioners of Rev.Stephen Bachiler. It is stated in several works that Mr. Hussey wasengaged to be married to Mr. Bachiler's daughter, but that clergymanobjected until his prospective son-in-law decided to emigrate with himto America. It was only upon this condition that he would consent tothe marriage. It is said they were married in England, probably beforetheir sojourn to Holland. Hussey, with his wife and widowed mother,arrived at Charlestown, Mass., July 23, 1630, in the William andFrancis, which sailed from Southampton some time in May. Two yearslater they removed to their home in Saugus (Lynn), Mrs. Hussey'sfather and some others of the family and their friends andacquaintances from England joining them. Mr. Bachiler established hischurch immediately in Lynn. On his first Sabbath he baptized fourchildren. On being asked to baptize one of the children he refused,saying he would baptize his own grandchild first, Stephen Hussey, thesecond white child born in Lynn. Christopher subsequently removed,with his mother, to Hampton, N. H., and was one of the grantees of thetown. He was the first deacon of the church there established, and aprominent and influential man. His farm was on the falls side of thetown, to which place he removed a few years after settlement.

...

Deacon Hussey was captain of the militia and a magistrate, town clerk,selectman and representative to the General Court, and when NewHampshire was made a royal province he was one of the councillorsnamed in the royal commission.

From other sources:

Former President Richard Milhous Nixon was both a 9th and a 10thgeneration descendant of Christopher Hussey.

Christopher and Theodate had 5 children, not 6 as reported by Savageand Dow. There was no son named Joseph. This error derives from Dow'slist of representatives from Hampton to the General Court, which givesa Joseph Hussey in 1672, a misreading for Christopher Hussey.Christopher's death is recorded as [7?] by TGMB:1050 and 6th by GDMNH.The record in HVR 1:9 reads: "C[torn]pt Christepher Hussy Died theS[torn]t of day of march 1685 or 1686 being about 90 years of Age wasEntred the 8th of march 1685 or 1686.". Additional source: Anderson,Robert Charles, "The Great Migration Begins," (1995), vol. 2, pgs.1048-1052.

CHRISTOPHER HUSSEY [Christo: Hussey]. He was the most prominent man inearly Hampton. Concerning his life in New England there is little toadd to Dow’s excellent account3, but I question his having had a sonJoseph, Deputy to the General Court in 16724. No such son appears inHussey’s will of 16855. Captain Christopher Hussey filled nearly everyoffice which the town or province could grant, and I believe theDeputy of 1672 was the Captain himself. [Editor's note: This "son"Joseph comes from a misreading by Joseph Dow of a record of HamptonRepresentatives to the General Court. The actual record reads"Christopher" Hussey, not "Joseph".] The Hussey blood still exists6 inHampton, through the marriages of Christopher Hussey’s daughters; butboth his sons removed from Hampton. Stephen Hussey went to Nantucket(of which island his father was one of the purchasers from Mayhew in1659) and became the ancestor of a long line of Husseys7. John Husseywent to Newcastle, Delaware, in 1692, and died there in 1707, leavingsons and daughters8.

Hussey and his sons were inclined to the Quaker doctrines, though theCaptain seems never to have joined that sect definitely. Both sons hadbeen fined for nonattendance at the Hampton church9, and in 1674Captain Hussey and his son John, with eleven other Hampton men, wereadmonished for their "breach of the law called Quaker’s meeting".9 Inthe same year Stephen Hussey was admonished for attending a Quaker’smeeting at Boston.10

Christopher Hussey married circa 1630, Theodate, daughter of StephenBachiler; she died "8th mo: 1648", and he married (2) at Hampton, 9Dec., 1658, Ann, widow of Jeffrey Mingay.11 There is no doubt thatHussey stood manfully by his father-in-law Bachiler through theHampton disturbances, and helped to fit him for his return voyage toEngland in 1654.12

As manfully, Hussey and his nephew John Samborne, stood by Robert Pikein his contest with the Bay oligarchs in 1653; and, refusing to recantwhat they had stated in petition, were placed under bonds.13

Hussey’s exact age, and the place of his birth, are stillundiscovered. There were Husseys in Winchester, and there was a familyof the name in Whiteparish, the home of the Pikes and Rolfes.14 Itwould seem natural that Hussey came from the same part of England asdid Bachiler and the Pikes. His relationship to the one, and his longfriendship with the other, argue a nearness in origin. But he has beenidentified with a Christopher Hussey who was baptized at Dorking inSurrey in l599.15 Dorking is fifty miles northeast of Whiteparish,Winchester and Wherwell. The parish register of Dorking contains themarriage of John Hussey and Marie Moor (or Wood) on 5 Dec., 1593, andthe baptisms of their three children.

Came on the ship Angel Gabriel that was shipwrecked at Pemaquid,
Maine in 1635. Was a servant to John Cogswell.

AUTHOR: Andrew Mack Haines, edited by Thomas Vanburen "Deacon Samuel
Haines of Westbury, Wiltshire, England, and his descendants in America
1635-1901.

Samuel Haines was born in England in 1611. At fifteen years of age hewas
apprenticed to John Cogswell of Westbury, Wiltshire, a clothmanufacture,
who owned mills in Frome, Somersetshire, a few miles from Westbury. It
appears that his apprenticeship was to continue for ten years; butafter
having served nine years, he came to New England in 1635 with Mr.Cogswell
in the ship "Angel Gabriel," which sailed from Kings Roads, Bristol,
England, June 4, and from Milford Haven, Wales, on the 22nd of thesame
month. After a voyage of ten weeks and two days from Bristol, comingnear
the coast of Maine, they anchored on the night of the 14th of Augustin
the outer harbor of Pemaquid [now Bristol]; and there they encountered
the "Great Hurricane" which occurred on the following day, when thestorm
was so severe that the vessel was driven on shore and broken inpieces;
and although several persons perished, and much of the cargo was
destroyed, yet they saved a considerable quantity of their personal
effects, so that they were able to live on the shore in a tent, whichMr.
Cogswell had taken with him, until the arrival of Goodman Gallup'sbark
from Boston, which took them with a large portion of their possessionsto
Ipswich, Masschusetts, where Mr. Cogswell made his home. Samuel Haines
remained with him one year to complete the term of his apprenticeship;and
having fullfiled his obligations for service, he outlined plans forthe
future in this then wild country, doubtless arranging to cast in hislot
with the settlers at Northam, now call Dover Point.

In 1638 he returned to England, prolonging his visit one and halfyears,
and in the meantime, on April 1, 1638, was married to Ellenor Neate inthe
church at Dilton, Wiltshire (Parish Register of Dilton, hamlet ofWestbury
Co., Wiltshire) near Westbury where he had previouly lived. As he was
married within a few weeks after returning to his native land, it issafe
to infer that he was engaged to his bride before coming to thiscountry,
and that he made the long and perilous voyage across the sea that hemight
claim the lady of his choice. On his return to this country they
established their home in Northam, where he had ten acres of land nearthe
first church, Afterwards they were set off to him twenty acres on the
west side of Back River [map attached]. He had for neighbors William
Furber and John Tuttle, and perhaps others who were fellow passengerswith
him on the ship "Angel Gabriel."

The patent of land on which he settled had been granted to EdwardHilton,
but conveyed by him to Capt. Thomas Wiggin and his associates, whowere
from Shrewsbury, England, where the early Haines family lived. Suchmay
have been a factor in the choice of location of our first ancestor.

We find that Samuel Haines was one of the signers on Oct. 16, 1640, ofwhat was called the "Dover Combination." This must have been shortly
after he had established his home at Northam, where re remained tenyears.
He was taxed in Dover in 1648 and 1649.

Either because he was not satisfied with his location, or because hesaw
that it would be more profitable, in 1650, he rented Capt. Francis
Champernown's farm at Strawberry Bank, so named because of the
strawberries found there. In company with Lieut. Neal he took the farm
"to the thirds." It appears that he took a deed of the farm for the
satisfying of a "certain debte" and that he lived there two years. Inthe
meantime he secured ninety-one acres of land adjoining the Champernown
farm [map attached], where he built himself a house and made apermanent
home. By purchase and by grant of common lands from the town he cameinto
possession of many acres. (Appendix #4 attached)

"Samuel was apprenticed at age 15 to John Cogswell of Westbury,Wiltshire a cloth manufacturer. Samuel came to America with Cogswellin 1635 on the ship "Angel Gabriel" - the ship anchored Aug 14 nearPemaquid or Bristol and was broken up in a hurricane the next day -they were rescued by another ship and taken to Ipswich where they tookup residence. Samuel completed his apprenticeship and returned toDilton, England to marry Eleanor Neate; they came to Northam (nowDover), NH; he later built a home in the area of Portsmouth and wasone of the petitioners to the general court of Mass to change the namefrom Strawberry Bank to Portsmouth. He was a Deacon in the Church anda sturdy and strong man. He owned and operated a sawmill and heldminor civic positions. The surname is presumed to be Welsh, perhapsderived from Eimws ("son of Einion"). Dilton, where Samuel and Eleanormarried, was known for its manufacture of woolen cloth. The town nameprobably derives from Dyllan-tun, meaning Dyalla
s or Dulla
sfarmstead. The place is now known as Old Dilton, in distinction fromthe newer towm of Dilton Marsh to the northwest.

Generation No. 1

1. SAMUEL1 HAINES, ("DEACON") was born 1611 in England, and died Abt.1686 in Portsmouth, NH. He married ELLENOR NEATE April 01, 1638 inDilton, Wiltshire, England.

Notes for SAMUEL HAINES, ("DEACON"):
Samuel Haines was born in England in 1611. At fifteen years of age hewas apprenticed to John Cogswell of Westbury, Wiltshire, a clothmanufacturer, who owned mills in Frome, Somersetshire, a few milesfrom Westbury. It appears that his apprenticeship was to continue forten years; but after having served nine years, he came to New Englandin 1635 with Mr. Cogswell in the ship Angel Gabriel, which sailed fromKings Roads, Bristol, England, June 4, and from Milford Haven, Wales,on the 22nd of the same month.

After a voyage of ten weeks and two days from Bristol, coming near thecoast of Maine, they anchored on the night of the 14th of August inthe outer harbor of Permaquid, now Bristol; and there they encounteredthe "Great Hurricane" which occurred on the following day, when thestorm was so severe that the vessel was driven on shore and broken topieces; and although several persons perished, and much of the cargowas destroyed, yet they saved a considerable quantity of theirpersonal effects, so that they were able to live on the shore in atent, which Mr. Cogswell had taken with him, until the arrival ofGoodman Gallup's bark from Boston, which took them with a largeportion of their possessions to Ipswich, Mass., where Mr. Cogswellmade his home.

Samuel Haines remained with him one year to complete the term of hisapprenticeship; and having fulfilled his obligations for service, heoutlined plans for the future in this then wild country, doubtlessarranging to cast in his lot with the settlers at Northam, now calledDover Point.

In 1638 he returned to England, prolonging his visit one and a halfyears, and in the meantime, on April 1, 1638, was married to EllenorNeate in the church at Dilton, Wiltshire, near Westbury, where he hadpreviously lived. As he was married within a few weeks after returningto his native land, it is safe to infer that he was engaged to hisbride before coming to this country, and that he made the long andperilous voyage across the sea that he might claim the lady of hischoice.

On his return to this country they established their home in Northam,where he had ten acres of land near the first church. Afterwards therewere set off to him twenty acres on the west side of Back River. Hehad for neighbors WWilliam Furber and John Tuttle, and perhaps otherswho were fellow passengers with him on the ship Angel Gabriel.

The patent of land on which he settled had been granted to EdwardHilton, but conveyed to him by Capt. Thomas Wiggin and his associates,who were from Shrewsbury, England, where the early Haines familylived. Such may have been a factor in the choice of location of ourfirst ancestor.

We find that Samuel Haines was one of the signers on Oct. 16, 1640, ofwhat was called the "Dover Combination." This must have been shortlyafter he had established his home at Northam, where he remained tenyears. He was taxed in Dover in 1648 and 1649.

Either because he was not satisfied with his location, or because hesaw that it would be more profitable, in 1650 he rented Capt. FrancisChampernown's farm at Strawberry Bank, so named because of thestrawberries found there. In company with Lieut. Neal he took the farm"to the thirds." It appears that he took a deed of the farm for thesatisfying of a "certain debte," and that he lived there two years. Inthe meantime he secured ninety-one acres of land adjoining theChampernown farm, where he built himself a house and made a permanenthome. By purchase and by grant of common lands from the town he cameinto posession of many acres.

He chose a very desirable location for his house, on a well-drainedridge of land which now commands a pleasing view of the surroundingcountry. Ther could have been but a small hamlet where he settled; forthere were at that time but fifty or sixty families in what nowconstitutes New Castle, Portsmouth, Greenland, and Newington. Thelarger part of the country around was as yet unsubdued by ax or plow,so the comforts and privileges were comparatively few. Travel to themore thickly settled part of the town was by water, or by a circuitousand rough path through the forest. The Indians were a menace, andwaild animals were in the woods. Foreign supplies must have beencostly and few, and the support of a family was the price of unceasingtoil, while educational and religious privileges were obtained only bygreat effort.

Our ancestor seems to have been sturdy and strong, for he was able tomore than hold his own. In addition to the large tract of land whichhe had secured, he bought a part of the saw-mill which was locatednear his home, paying for it one hundred and ten pounds. He was ahighly respected citizen, and occupied important positions of trust.

But there were adversaries to contend with as well as a rigorousclimate and hard soil. In 1683, after he had made his land pleasantwith the labor of thirty years, Robert Mason, Esq., laid claim to it,together with that of others, and tried to eject him, but withoutsuccess. In the following year he made a second effort, putting theland-holders under bond to appear in court at New Castle, but hisplans did not succeed. The titles were good.

The four towns within the limits of New Hampshire, having putthemselves under the protection of the colony of Massachusetts, in1653, Samuel Haines was one of the signers, petitioning the GeneralCourt at boston to change the name of the town from Strawberry Bank toPortsmouth, which was done. The same year he was chosen one of theselectmen of Portsmouth, to which office he was elected for tensuccessive years. In 1666 he was employed to assist in running thetown line between Portsmouth and Hampton. In 1678 the town intrustedto him the keeping of an orphan child for a period of fifteen yearsfor a stipulated sum of money.

Aside from his business sagacity he was a religious man, being one ofthe number who organized the North Church in Portsmouth; and as soonas Reb. Joshua Moodey was settled as their pastor, he was ordainedDeacon of the church by the "imposition of hands and prayer." This wasin 1671, although religious services had been held in town for thegreater part of the time since 1638. In 1675 the town granted "DeaconHaines" the privilege of hitching his horse in "the pound" on Sundaysfor shelter and protection. It was a long distance for him to travelto church, and that act indicates that he made the journey sometimesin rough weather.

When by the weight of years his infirmities increased, he deemed itwise to deed his homestead to his eldest son, Samuel, reserving asufficient life support for himself and wife. The exact date of hisdeath s not on record; but it must have occured about 1686, at the ageof abut seventy-five years. His wife was living at the time he madehis will in 1682, but the exact date of her death is not determined.

They were buried on a bold promontory jutting a little into theWinnicut, thirty or forty feet above the river, -- a beautiful, quietspot, now covered witha wooded growth, at the foot of which the tidehas ebbed and flowed by their graves for almost two and a quartercenturies. At this place it is said that more than one hundred of thefirst settlers of the town of Greenland have been laid away. This"God's acre" is but a short distance from the old Haines homestead.

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

The Fifield surname is derived from an old Anglo-Saxon measure ofland, the hide. A hide of land was the amount deemed necessary tosupport a family, and varied according to the quality of the land. Acommon family group holding was five hides of land. Several smallEnglish villages are called Fifield or a varient, derived from thismeasure. As surnames came into use people sometimes took as their namethe name of the village in which they lived. Therefore there may beessentially unrelated branches of Fifields.

In the United States most Fifields descend from a common immigrant,William Fifield, who came over on the ship Hercules in 1634 andeventually settled in Hampton, NH. Even today the state of NewHampshire has the largest percentage of Fifield families in the US.However the largest number of Fifields is in the state of New York.

"William immigrated from London on the ship "Hercules", john Kidder,Master, which left London March 24, 1634 and Southhampton April 18with 12 passengers. It landed Ipswich Mass in April. He became one ofthe original settlers of Hampton, NH in 1638 and died there in 1700 at88 years of age. Records indicate that he had the condidence of histownespeople and other tories in the settlement of affairs in dispute.He acted as Attorney, Constable and Sheriff in cases of record.

7414. Thomas* Sleeper ² was born about 1616^² and died on 30 Jul 1696^² about age 80.

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

Thomas Sleeper was born about 1616 and was a resident of Hampton, NHsoon after the settlement of that town in 1638. Land was granted tohim as early as 1646. In the latter part of his life he lived on whatis now known as Shaw's Hill. His was then a frontier house, no otherfamily living so remote from the main settlement. From him and hisdescendants that part of the town was called "Sleepertown", sincecorrupted into "Sleepytown". He died July 30 1696 and his familyafterwards removed to the newly incorporated town of Kingston. Hiswife Joanna died there Feb 5 1703 at the age of eighty years. She wasburied in Hampton. Their children were: Elizabeth, Mary, Ruth, John,Moses, Aaron and Luther. "Sleeper Family Trails 1616-1994" by Glenn E.Pribbeno "Thomas Sleeper came from Bristol, England in 1640 with hisbrother Moses. Moses went to settle in Philadelphia, which laterbecame the state of PA. Thomas tarried awhile in Boston, MA beforesettling in Hampton, Rockingham Co. New England which later became NewHampshire in 1788. There were problems with Indians; parties ofIndians committed raids in several places not very far away. Theinhabitants of Hampton suffered less than those in the river towns,though they lived in constant fear. There appears to have been a plotto burn the house of Thomas Sleeper. In early November 1675 an Indianwas discovered passing from the barn about eight rods distant towardsthe house with fire in his right hand and straw under his left arm.When he was about midway between the two buildings, he was fired uponfrom the house and immediately fell. The straw took fire and blazed upand by the light of it, another Indian was seen running away. The firesoon went out having done no injury. The people within the house,fearing that others might be lying in ambush, dared not go out intothe night to the place where the Indian fell. In the morning no deadIndian was to be found. Thomas was listed a being a weaver by tradewhen he came to New England however, since he acquired land nearHampton, it is presumed he became a farmer. Thomas moved to Haverhill,MA between 1656 and 1660.

7558. John* Hall was born in 1584 in Kent, England and died on 26 May 1673 in Middletown, CT at age 89. Another name for John* was John Hall.

General Notes: The earliest name of Hall came from De Halle, given to those whowentto England from Halle in Saxony. (Germany)

I am going on the assumption that the original John (1584) had parentsin England, and that he had brothers. His story begins when QueenElizabeth was on the throne in England.
This John was our emigrant ancestor in 1633 from England, of theWestpart, with his wife Esther, 3 sons and a daughter..

He emigrated with his family to Roxbury, Ma, in 1633. His name appearsin the Elliott's Church record. He was made a freeman with JohnWalker, Wm. Brenton, Thomas Hubbard and John Baker in Boston,MA, on 14May, 1634 (or) in 1635. He removed to Hartford, CT, in 1639 and in1650 he went to Middletown, CT. He died there. He was one ofthepioneers in the discovery of Connecticut and in settlements there.

John settled first in Cambridge when he arrived from Coventry orMeriden, Warwickshire, England in 1633 at Boston. Soon he removed toRoxbury where the prefix of respect, Mr., was accorded to him on therecords of Mr. Eliot's church. This prefix was given to only a fewpersons and it indicated that they were entitled to great honor. Thissame year he and John Oldham and two other men started for theConnecticut River, where they were reported to be in October of thatyear.

John knew John Oldham (he was a prosperous trader who had earlierquarrelled with the Pilgrim fathers, but had become reconciled). Heandthis John and two others left Massachusetts Bay and started on anexpedition to the Connecticut River in September of 1633. Theirpurpose was to explore and to trade. They went as far as the futuresites of Hartford and Wethersfield, lodging in Indian villages alongthe way. John may have also been the Hall listed with a secondexpedition to Connecticut in November of the same year. This time theygot lost and found much smallpox and no trade among the Indians, theold accounts say. The adventure ended in 1634 when they returned tothe Bay towns. It was their report of the rich lands on theConnecticut River which led to the migration from Dorchester andCambridge to Wethersfield, Windsor and Hartford in 1635 and 1636.

He came from England as part of the Rev. Thomas Hooker's company. Hewas either part of the advance party that arrived in 1632 atCambridge, or, he was with the Hartford founders (Thomas Hooker'sgroup) in the fall of 1635. They came by way of Holland on the twoships, Griffin and Bird. They landed on 4 September 1633. (Was thisthe landing in Holland?) Thomas Hooker was one of the foremost ofcolonial pastors and was considered more democratic in his thinkingthan most of the other religious leaders of Massachusetts Bay. When hewas made a freeman, John was either with the advance settlers toWethersfield in the fall of 1634, planting onions a few miles belowthe Dutch post. with 10 others led by John Oldham. One thing isforsure: our John was in Hartford as one of the first Puritan settlersand that he went to the Pequot War of 1637 from there. He saw servicein May and June of that year with Captain John Mason and other CT men.The Pequot War was bloody, vengeful and short, and the Pequot tribenever recovered from it. John Hall and the other Puritans feltjustified because of the years of attacks, scalpings and otherdepredations that had been endured.

As a result of his war service, John received 6 ac. of land "bycourtesie of the towne" of Hartford. The land was on Lord's Hill,later called Asylum Hill, and was described in a 1902 account as beinglocated south of Asylum Street and west of the railway.

In 1650 the domain of the great Sachem Sowheag (Indian chief) atMattabeseck was invaded by the English. He made the palefaces welcome,as he had done in the past, giving lands to Governor Haynes, eventhough he was powerful enough to destroy the few families that settledthere. Apparently some land was purchased from the Indian chief. Partof New Haven was purchased by the English from his son, Montawese. Hisfort or castle was on Indian Hill, away from the settlers. He had awhistle which he would use to call all his warriors together, as manyas 500, whose wigwams were thick all along both sides of theConnecticut River.

Into this morass moved John Hall and Esther, his wife, 3 sons and adaughter, to make their homes. In November 1653, the place was namedMiddletown. There were possibly 30 families living there by 1654.Twenty years later there were only 52 householders in the town. Johnwas with John Richard and Samuel Hall, his sons. It is said the Hallsof Middleboro had in England a coat of arms with the motto,'Fidelity'. This one word aptly describes the character of thisfamily.

They were the first settlers in Long Hill, which began near 1675. Theyspread out from the First Society of Middletown, and soon othersfollowed. The Halls were stout, strong, intellectual people. There isamongst the old papers in the family at Long Hill a deed of land fromJohn Hall, Ensign, and wife to their son, John Hall. Also, a paperconferring on John Hall a Captain's commission signed by JohnWinthrop, Gov. of Connecticut.

The settlers had a great deal of heavy work in clearing off thestones, as the old moss-covered walls will show. Nearly enough stonesto fence the land were found on its surface, and in some places werelarge boulders. These were cut and used for cellar walls.

The first vote of Middletown, of which any record is kept, is thefollowing: 'Feb. the 10th, 1652. It was agreed at a meeting at JohnHall's house, to build a meeting house and to make it twenty footsquare and ten foot between sill and plat, the heygt of it'. We areglad to know that the meeting to plan for the first meetinghouse washeld at 'John Hall's hous.' This fact throws light on hiscircumstances and standing in the little community. The earliestrecords of Middletown show that he was a man of distinction among hisassociates.

The original deed from the Indians to the inhabitants of Middletownwas witnessed by John Hall and entered by John Hall, Jun. in theoldcourt book of records. The first meeting house stood near theentrance to the first graveyard, now called Riverside Cemetery. 150ac. were laid out for a parsonage, and a large piece of land for a'common'.The old land records show one of the first land deeds went toJohn Hall of buck Point, bounded south and east by the ConnecticutRiver.This point is opposite the city were the river turns toward thestraits, and is now some distance inland owing to the accumulationaround it of sand and debris brought down by the freshets year byyear.

He was in Middletown in 1650 and had a home lot of 5 ac. was locatedonthe NE corner of Main and Washington streets. It extended down to theGreat River and adjoined the home lot of his son-in-law, ThomasWetmore (Sarah's husband). He was a carpenter by trade.

7570. Stephen* Hart Deacon ² was born about 1600 in Braintree, Essex, England^² and died in Mar 1683 in Farmington, CT^² about age 83.

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

DEACON STEPHEN HART, son of , and his wife, born about 1605, at Braintree, in Essex County, Eng. Hecame from there to Massachusetts Bay about 1632, and located for atime at (Newtown,) Cambridge, Mass; married. She died, when second he married Margaret, the widow of ArthurSmith, and daughter of . She survived Deacon Hart, andwas admitted to the church in Farmington, March 17th, 1690-1. She diedin 1693.

Deacon Hart and his first wife were constituent members of the churchin Farmington, organized November, 1652, with Rev. Roger Newtonpastor. Mr. Hart had been deacon of Rev. Thomas Hooker's church, atCambridge, Mass., and at Hartford, Conn. He was one of the fifty-foursettlers at Cambridge, Mass., was a proprietor at Hartford in 1639,and became one of the eighty-four proprietors of Farmington in 1672.In 1647 he was one of the "deputyes" of the General Court ofConnecticut, at their May session. In 1653 he was appointed aCommissioner, by the General Court, for the town of Farmington, to aidthe constable in impressing men into the army, then being raised.

Stephen Hart is supposed to have come from Braintree, Essex County,England, with the company that settled Braintree, Mass., andsubsequently removed to Newtown, since called Cambridge, andconstituted the church of which Rev. Thomas Hooker was invited fromEngland to become their pastor. He was in Cambridge in 1632, andadmitted a freeman there, May 14th, 1634. He came to Hartford with Mr.Hooker's company in 1635, and was one of the original proprietors ofthat place. His house-lot was on the west side of what is now calledFront Street, near where Morgan Street crosses it, and there is atradition that the town was called from the ford he discovered andused in crossing the Connecticut River at a low stage of the water,and so from Hart's Ford it soon became Hartford, from a natural andeasy transition. Tradition further says that as he and others were ona hunting excursion on Talcott Mountain, they discovered theFarmington River Valley, then inhabited by the Tunxis, a powerfultribe of Indians. The meadows were probably then cleared, and wavingwith grass and Indian corn. Such lands were then much needed andcoveted by the settlers, who soon - probably as soon as 1640 - made abargain with the Indians, and settled among them with their cattle.They still continued, however, connected with the settlement atHartford, attended public worship, and prehaps wintered there. untilabout 1645, when the town was incorporated by the name of Farmington,from the excellent farms there.* About this time Mr. Roger Newton, astudent in theology with Rev. Thomas Hooker, whose daughter hemarried, began to preach for them, and in 1652 was ordained theirpastor. Stephen Hart was one of the seven pillars of the church, andwas chosen their first deacon. The other pillars were Rev. RogerNewton, pastor, John Cole (Cowles), John Bronson, Robert Porter,Thomas Judd, and Thomas Thompson.

Stephen Hart appears to have taken the lead in the settlement amongthe Indians in Farmington, and purchased a large tract on the boarderof the present town of Avon, and known to this day by the name ofHart's Farm.** He was one of the first representatives in 1647, andcontinued, with one exception, for fifteen sessions, until 1655, andonce in 1660. In short, no man in the town was more active,influential, and useful. His house-lot, which was four or five timesas large as any other, was on the west side of Main Street, in thevillage, opposite the meeting-house, and contained fifteen acres,extending from Mill Lane to the stone store south. This largehouse-lot was granted to Deacon Stephen Hart as an inducement to erectand continue a mill on the premises, to be perpetuated and kept inmotion. The mill was erected originally by the Bronsons, to whom, as aconsideration, was granted, viz: a tract of eighty acres, on thePequabuk River, now known as the "Eighty Acre." The south part of thishouse-lot he gave to his son John, and the north part to his sonThomas. Thomas gave it to his son Josiah, and it descended to the wifeof Roger Hooker, his only surviving child, and to her only son, ThomasHart Hooker, who sold it to Samuel Dleming. The Demings and theirdescendants hold it to this day-1874. These lots and lands, in somerespects, are the most desirable and valuable of any in the old townof Farmington. He was a representative to the General Court ofConnecticut in 1647, and most of the succeeding years to 1660, fromthe town of Farmington. His widow, Margaret, gave her property to hersons, John and Arthur Smith, and daughter, Elizabeth Thompson. She hadgrand chidren-Elizabeth, John, and Ann Thompson.

Deacon Hart's Will was dated March 16th, 1682-3. He mentions the farmhe formerly gave his three sons, John, Stephen, and Thomas, viz:one-half to John, one-fourth to Steven, and one-fourth to Thomas.

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

Next in line is Samuel. He ended up in Norwich Connecticut where he isconsidered one of the founding fathers. He was a builder and later afarmer and for a while a "constable", "townsman" and judge. Here iswhat I could find about Judge Samuel Lathrop.
From Huntington Page 38:

7. Samuel, born in England, and came with his father to Scituate in1634, thence to Barnstable, where he Married, Nov. 28, 1644, ElizabethScudder, who had been dismissed from the church in Boston Nov. 10,1644, to remove her church relation to that in Barnstable. She isreported in Savage as a sister to that John Scudder who was inBarnstable in 1640. He had made the acquaintance of Miss Scudder inBoston, where he commenced his business life as a house builder,afterwards combining with his extensive farming operations. Theirmarriage was recorded by his father on the Barnstable Church Registeras follows: "My sonn Samuel & Elizabeth Scudder Marryed at my house byMr. Freeman Nov. 28, 1644."
They settled in Barnstable where his house stood next to that of JohnScudder.
He is reported, in 1643, as one of five Lothrops at Barnstable liableto bear arms.
In 1648 he removed to New London, Connecticut, then called Pequot. Wenow find Mr. Lothrop mentioned in two letters from Governor Winthropto his son at Pequot. In one of these bearing date Aug. 14, 1648, onthe subject of obtaining a minister for the settlement, he writes,"Your neighbour Lothrop came not at me (as I expected) to advise aboutit," etc.
His house lot in the new plantation was the third in order from thatof John Winthrop Jr. Esq. and his name was one of the first eighteento whom were assigned lands on the east side of the "great river" ofPequot, and for these the lots were drawn on the 17th and 31st ofJanuary, 1648-9.

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

The English origins of Nathaniel Dickinson, widely published byFrederick Dickinson in 1897, Wharton Dickinson in 1901 and Elinor V.Smith in 1978 are proved incorrect and new ancestry is proved byClifford L. Stott in "The Corect English Origins of NathanielDickinson and William Gull, Settlers of Wethersfield and Hadley,"NEHGS "Register," Vol 152, April, 1998, pp. 159-178.

Little is known of Nathaniel's activities in England. He was no doubteducated, signing the Billingborough bishop's transcript of 1633/4with a firm hand. He was accordingly appointed town clerk both inWethersfield and Hadley.
Nathaniel arrived in Wethersfield, CT between 26 June 1636, when hisdaughter was baptized at Billingborough, and July 1638, when his sonwas born at Wethersfield. It is difficult to say what influences ledNathaniel to emigrate. Perhaps he heard the Puritan doctrines fromRev. Simon Bradstreet, vicar of Horbling from 1696 to 1621. Rev.Bradstreet's son Simon went to Massachusetts in 1630 and rose toprominence in the government of the Bay Colony. Twelve miles to theeast of Horbling and Billingborough, Rev. John Cotton expounded hisPuritan views from the pulpit at Boston until he fled to New Englandin 1633. Nathaniel apparently spent little if any time in theMassachusetts Bay Colony, and he was not among the Watertowncontingent that settled Wethersfield in 1635.
Nathaniel held many positions of trust in the communities ofWethersfield and Hadley. He served on the jury of the Particular Courtin 1642. After several years as de facto town clerk of Wethersfield,he was oficially appointed to the office in 1645. He held thisposition until 1659, when he removed to Hadley, Massachusetts.Nathaniel Dickinson served as deputy to the Connecticut General Courtfrom 1646 to 1659. He was elected selectman of Wethersfield in 1646.His homestall consisted of a house, barn, and three acres of land inMarch 1649. In May 1653 he was a member of the committee to direct acontemplated expedition against the Dutch, and in October 1654nathaniel was one of the commissioners appointed to consult with theconstables of the various Connecticut towns about "pressing men forthe expedition into the Ninigret country." He was also active inchurch affairs, being a deacon of the Wethersfield church.
When dissension arose in the congregations at Wethersfield, Hartfordand Windsor, Nathaniel Dickinson and his son John were active in theorganization of a new settlement under the leadership of Rev. JohnRussell. Nathaniel was one of the 59 men who signed the agreement tosettle Hadley, Massachusetts, on 18 April 1659. He was selected tosurvey the original 59 home lots of eight acres each. In HadleyNathaniel was again chosen town clerk in 1660. He took the freeman'soath on 26 march 1661, and the same year was a member of the committeeto erect a meeting house.
Soon after the establishment of Hadley, settlers began taking up landon the west side of the Connecticut River. On 21 January 1660/1Nathaniel was a member of the committee appointed to lay out home lotson the west bank. Twenty-eight lots were surveyed for the originalproprietors, among whom were sons Nathaniel, Samuel, and Obadiah, andstepson William Gull. These four were also among the petitioners for aseparate township in 1667. The town of Hatfield was established in1669. In his later years, Nathaniel, Sr., settled briefly in Hatfieldbut returned to Hadley shortly before his death.
Nathaniel was an original member of the Hampshire Troop, organized inMarch 1663/4 under Capt. John Pynchon. During King Philip's War,1675-77, Nathaniel lost three sons - John, Joseph, and Azariah.Another son, Obadiah, was captured by the Indians and taken intoCanada but escaped and returned in 1679. Nathaniel served asselectman, assessor, and school trustee at times and was a deacon inthe Hadley church.
Nathaniel died in Hadley on 16 June 1676. He wrote his will on 29 May1676, ten days after his son John was killed in the Turner's Fallsbattle. The will was proved the following 26 September, and aninventory of his estate, totaling £502 2s 6d, was taken on 22 December1676.

Aaron came to America on the ship "Mary and John" in 1630 with hisstep father's family (Thomas Ford). They settled in the area in southBoston now called Dorchester. After several years a dispute overrepresentation with the Massachusetts Bay Colony government lead tothe removal of many to the Hartford, Connecticut area. Among these wasAaron who moved to Windsor and helped found the town in 1636. The nextyear, he married his step sister Mary Ford who was the daughter ofThomas Ford and his first wife joan Waye. He was a member of theWindsor troop of horse and a Major of the Hartford troop in 1658. In1661, another dispute broke out over representation in government andthe role of the church. Aaron left with many of the original Mary andJohn settlers to found the town of Westfield, Connecticut. He was aproprietor at Westfield in 1667, ensign in 1676, and Captain of theWestfield garrison during King Phillip's War. Aaron moved north againto the town of Hadley, Massachusetts.

He was a civil and military leader in Windsor for 23 years.In 1653 he received 50 acres in Western Massachusetts and wasappointed lieutenant in command of 60 men "to be ready at a dayswarning to operate against the Dutch". Each town had a committee topress men into service for an expedition. On May 28, 1655 he waschosen Captain in Windsor by a vote of 87 to 19. In 1656 he wasordered to summon people to the meetings "by trumpet and drum on topof the meeting house". In 1657 he became a member of the first troopof horsemen ever raised in Connecticut under Major John Mason thecelebrated Indian fighter. He was also a friend of the regicidejudges, Whalley and Goeffe after they moved to Northampton.

Aaron Cook was one of the most prominent men of the first settlers ofNorthampton. A man of more than ordinary energy and ability, he tookpart in the settlement of Northampton and three other towns.

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

Reverend John White, rector of Holy Trinity Church, Dorchester, CountyDorset, who represented the moderate conforming clergy in the greatreligious controversies which preceded the Civil War in England. Hisinfluence extended all over that region and he advocated as early as1622 the colonialization of New England for spiritual and materialreasons, believing that it could be a haven, as well fornonconformists as for loyal Churchmen. He organized the "DorchesterAdventurers" in 1623, a commercial company which was to operate atCape Ann, and thereafter he was active in promotion of this and likeenterprise, including that of the Massachusetts Bay Company itself.Among his parishioners was one Aquila Purchase, master of TrinitySchool, Dorchester, England, 1625-1633, whose brother Thomas Purchase,also of Dorchester, was an emigrant to New England as early as 1626,settling at what is now Brunswick, Maine. In some way, probablythrough employment as a teacher in the vicinity of King Weston, from1612 to 1614, Aquila Purchase met and married there, on thetwenty-eighth day of January 1614, Anne Squire, sister of EdithSquire, and thus became the brother-in-law of Henry. In March 1633,Aquila Purchase with his wife and children emigrated for Dorchester,Massachusetts. But he died either during the voyage or soon afterarrival, as on the fifth day of August 1633, "Widow Purchase" wasgranted four acres of land. Doubtless this emigration and letters fromher to her family in England, setting forth the advantages of NewEngland, caused the emigration in 1638 of her two sisters Edith andMargaret with their husbands, Henry Adams and John Shepherd, and theirchildren

Passengers Of The Mary and John-1630 (Vol.17)" "Anne came in 1633, andher husband Aquila Purchase died during the crossing."
Apparently died at sea, 1633 on way to New England, to Dorchester,Suffolk county, Massachusetts. They were forced into the WesternIslands by a leak, where they stayed for three weeks. Some of thepassangers got sick and later died because of the heat and rain.Aquila was one of these.

From "Descendants of Thomas White" by David G. White:
Captain Thomas White, the immigrant ancestor of the White family ofWeymouth, Mass, was admitted a Freeman of the Massachusetts Bay ColonyMar. 3, 1635/6, being then and previously an in habitant of Weymouthand a member of the church there. The place of his nativity and thedate of his arrival in New England are unknown. From the appearance ofhis name on the records of the town of Weymouth it would seem he was avery early settler if not one of the first. He deposed in court in1659 and stated his age as 60, which places his birth date as about1599. He was the owner in all of 75 acres in Weymouth and his home lotand place of residence was near the present turnpike leading fromQuincy to Hingham, in what is now North Weymouth in the district longfamiliarly known as "Old Spain". He was a town proprietor in 1643 andserved for many years as a Selectman of the town, an office of muchdignity in early Colonial times. He also served on various importanttown committees. He was captain of the old military company of thetown and his name with the title of "Captain" is to be found on earlyWeymouth town proceedings. He was honored to election as a Deputy fromWeymouth to the Mass. General Court in 1637 (the second man in thetown thus honored), 1657 and 1670. He died in Weymouth in August 1679,as his will is dated on July 5, 1679 and proved in the Suffolk ProbateCourt on Aug. 18, 1679. His wife is not mentioned in the instrumentand she was evidently deceased at the time his will was executed andher name if unknown to history.

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

Hayward, Haward, Howard
The name Hayward which was usually the form of the name as found inBraintree was in early times sometimes given as Haward and alsoHoward. Descendants of William Hayward of Braintree who remained inBraintree proper continued that form of the name for the most part,but those who settled in present Randolph came to use the form Howardby the middle of the eighteenth century, although even the sameindividual was often known under both forms of the name. Probaterecords are given various ways in the index.

There were two men named William Hayward in Boston in the earlyperiod. It is not known at what time the Braintree man came to NewEngland and acquired land in Boston, which he is known to have done byhis widow's sale of it in 1670.

The other William Hayward, Haywood, or Howard presumably is theindividual who was in Charlestown in 1637, deputy 1641, and removed toHampton where he was clerk from 1643 to 1647 but returned to Bostonsoon after and acquired a house and land at the east end of presentHanover St. He is sometimes referred to as Lt. William Hayward andapparently of good education as he was frequently mentioned inaffairs. He died in 1674 leaving a widow Alice who died in 1681 andthey were buried at Copps Hill Cemetery. He is the one mentioned inthe Book of Possessions as an abutter when James Everill sold land inBoston 22(6)1649 to John Stevenson at the easterly end of presentHanover St.

William1 Hayward of Braintree seems to be first of record in theWeymouth land grants. A record of landed possessions in Weymouth wasmade in 1643 similar to the Book of Possessions commenced in Boston in1645. The possessions of William Hayward are not shown but he is twicethere mentioned as abutter to owners of land in Weymouth, HenryKingman, and James Smith.
On Mar.19,1648 William Hayward of Weymouth bought 20 acres of uplandin Braintree " being as it were a neck of land, having the river onthe east" from John Whitman of Weymouth. (S.D. 2-64) and in 1691 hisgrandson Jonathan Hayward received a confirmation of the above fromthe same John Whitman, also some salt marsh adjoining, in eachtransaction. This homestead remained in the family for generations. Itlies on Fore River at the mouth of Pease's or Hayward's Creek justwithin the present bounds of Braintree where part of the Fore Rivership yard now is located. The last occupant of the Hayward name wasMiss Annah Hayward who died in Nov.1936 and whose house stands on thewest side of Quincy Ave. south of Hayward's Creek.
William1 Hayward was a boatman or seaman and was drowned May 10,1659.His wife Margery presented an inventory of his estate (S.P. 3-328), 70acres, dwelling house, barn, and orchard, and
garden, and 5 acres in Weymouth, 2 a. salt marsh, etc., no mentionbeing made of property in Boston, yet on May 25,1670 widow MargeryHayward sold "all that my piece and parcel of land and dwelling houselying in Boston" (S.D. 7-155).

70 a. adjoining house, barn, orchard, & garden
5 a. in Weymouth
2 a. salt marsh
1 a. wheat, 2 a. peas, - a. Indian corn growing on the land
2 muskets, 2 swords, a dagger, etc.

Jun.14,1659, Administration granted to Margery, his late wife onbehalf of self and children, Margery Heywood deposed.

S.D.3-64 - John Whitman to William Hayward of Weymouth, 20 a. upland &2 a. salt, Mar.19,1648 & described in a deed of confirmation from JohnWhitman to John3 Hayward Jan.6,1691 as bounded N. by salt water ormouth of the creek commonly called Pease's Creek, easterly andsoutherly by land commonly called Moore's Land now in the possessionof the said Jonathan Hayward, westerly by land of John French Sr. Thislatter deed was in possession of the said Jonathan Hayward and isthought not to have been recorded.

In 1695 Samuel Hayward and William Hayward, surviving children ofWilliam Hayward of Braintree deceased, boatman, or, seaman, broughtsuit against John Green and Benjamin Fitch of Boston for
withholding possession of a house and land on Hudson's or Wing's Lane,near the town dock which was formerly William Hayward's of which hedied seized and possessed. This was acknowledged and recordedDec.5,1701 (S.D. 20-463) in which Samuel Howard, Josiah Thear ofMendham (Josiah Thayer of Mendon was a grandson) and Jonathan Howardof Braintree quit claim for £12 to the said house and lands.Apparently widow Margery Hayward had sold without the consent of herchildren and heirs. This land was on present Elm St. on the west sidenear Dock Square in Boston and may have came to her by inheritancesince no record of purchase by her husband is now of record. Heridentity has long been sought and claims made that she was MargeryHarding or Margery Knight, but without definite proof. This lot inBoston seems to be the one listed in the Book of Possessions asproperty of Samuel Greames (or Grame) who also had a grant atBraintree, or of Sarah Knight next door to him. It is also worthy ofnote that Ezekiel Knight owned land at Braintree (Knight's of QuincyNeck) close to the Hayward homestead. Widow Margery Hayward diedJul.18,1676, administration on estate given Aug.1,1676 to Jonathan,oldest son. The above "house and land of the late William Hayward" inBoston is mentioned as an abutter in S.D. 6-7 in Feb.22,1668(9).
William Hayward of Lime house (London), mariner & Margery Knight weremarried 10 October 1633 at St. Dumstans, Stepney, London. The time isabout right, and the occupation as mariner seem to point to this beingthe marriage of the Braintree settler, but there is no conclusiveevidence to confirm the presumption. The finding of a baptismal recordof a daughter Huldah in this parish would confirm it.
William Hayward and Lawrence Copeland witnessed a deed Oct.13,1654(S.D. 2-87) of James Everill to Simon Lynde.

According to Savage,12 John attended "Eton school, went to theUniversity of Cambridge in 1602, as Mather tells, much of whose storyof his early days has apocryphal sound, there of Christ's College hadhis A. B. 1605-6, and A. M. 1609, as by me in the registry of theUniversity seen, though Mather would have it Emanuel; and Farmerwrites at King's, where, indeed, may, as the Magnalia tells, have beenthe adm. After serving as chaplain in several houses, he was inductedat Sudbury in the south border of County Suffolk; there contined tenor twelve years but disgusted with the worhsip of forms and vestmentsgrowing in the church he encouraged the colonization of theMassachusetts Bay, and came 1630, with the Gov. and Company bringingthe charter in the Arbella. His wife Elizabeth whose name is notdistinct. read in Mather, though in his usual roundabout way he says,Magn. III. cap. 3, p. 42, that Wilson designed to marry a daught 'ofthe lady Mansfield, widow of Sir John,' remained in England probablywith care of the church."
John "went back to Eng. and came again 1632, he brought [his wife] andson John, but the oldest son perhaps never was on this side of theocean. The wife was sister of the wife of Robert Keayne, and herbrother John with his family got over to Boston, two years later, inpoverty; and tormented Keayne very much, if his will be good evidenceas may, partly, be read in Geneal. Reg. VI. 156. He made a secondvoyage to Eng. 1634, and came again in the summer, of 1635, which ledme [Savage] to mistake, formerly, the time of his wife's coming, asshe did not join our church before 20 Mar. 1636; whereas we see thatthis daughter Mary was baptized 8 Sept. 1633, unless the church recordmeans a week later, the copy of town record certifies that she wasborn 12 Sept. He had requested admisson as freeman 19 Oct. 1630, andwas sworn 3 July 1632, and died 7 Aug. 1667, and was buried on theSunday following. Of the good desert of the first minister of Boston,abundant proof is found in the Magn. III. cap. 3, with some fewlamentable characteristics of the author, perhaps little to beregarded in derogotory from the character of Wilson. Yet of one traitin him, the zeal for the glory of God, as exhib. at 'Ill Newes fromNew England' where the testimony of Obadiah Holmes, the bapt.confessor, is fully given we must regret that it surpassed the limitsof self-respect, as well as common decency. Holmes tells after hissentence to imprisonm. and cruel scourg. 'as I went from the Bar, Iexprest myself in these words; I bless God I am count. worthy tosuffer for the name of Jesus; whereupon John Wilson (their Pastor asthey call him) strook me bef. the judgment-seat. and cursed me,saying, the curse of God or Jesus go with thee.' For the imprecationupon the heretic lenity may be extended as we hope, by the finalJudge, when he cometh in the clouds of heaven: but at the tribunal ofgentlement the assault on a defenceless prisoner, even thoughconvicted by his own confession of the crime of preaching what hethought truth, meets no indulgence. Graditude has always been express,for the found. of Boston church no doubt in some degree arising fromthe munificent contribribution of £1,000 by his brother William inEngland and the most judicious investment of part of that sum as inCol. Rec. I. 128 alluded to, and may by any minute antiquary be seenin 2 Mass. Hist. Coll. VIII. 228, all assisting in keeping active thegenerous emotion."

JOHN WILSON was born about December, 1588, at Windsor, Berkshire,England. He is the son of Rev. WILLIAM D.D. and ISABEL (WOODHALL)WILSON, Canon of Windsor, grandson of WILLIAM WILSON of Welbourn,Lincolnshire, England, and great-grandson of WILLIAM WILSON ofPenrith, Cumberland, England.

He was prepared at Eton and entered King's College, Cambridge in 1602.He left the College as a result of his interest in the Puritanmovement and entered one of the Inns of Court to study law, butfinally returned, under his father's influence, to the University,where he obtained a degree at Christ College of B.A. in 1606 and M.A.in 1609.

He preached at several places a short time, and was chaplain inseveral families, then preached at other places in Suffolk Countyuntil about 1620. He was located at Sudbury in that County for aboutten years, but was prosecuted and suspended for non-conformity and in1630 joined the emigration to New England, coming over on the"Arabella" with Gov. Winthrop. When the First Church of Boston wasorganized Jul. 30, 1630, he was installed as teacher, but returned toEngland in April 1631, to get his wife and children, who came over inMay 1632. He was made a freeman of the colony Jul. 3, 1632, and wasinstalled as pastor of the First Church of Boston, Nov. 23, 1632.

In 1634, he returned to England again to settle the estate of hisbrother, Edmund, and came back again to America in October 1635, wherehe remained until his death, Aug. 7, 1667. He was strict in his ownorthodoxy, but a devoted preacher and respected generally.

His homestead was in Boston, Suffolk, MA, on the northwest corner ofthe present State and Devonshire Streets, but he had several othergrants of land from the General Court. The town of Boston made a grantto him Dec. 8, 1634.

He received a grant of 750 acres, bounded on the east by the bay onthe north or northwest by a line not far south of present E. SquantumStreet in Quincy and including all the upland west of present HancockStreet, and north of it to Milton Line, on the west, and on the southby a small brook called Stand Brook, later Sachem's Brook and nowcompletely covered over (along Brook Street, Wollaston, to the bay),and including a large swamp from which the brook ran. He soon built ahouse and it, or a successor house, stood until 1857 on present LindenStreet, Wollaston, near the junction of Hancock Street where thecellar hole on the south side of Linden Street was visible until after1900. A sketch of the typical salt box or lean-to house is included inWhitfield's "Homes of our Forefather's", and "Chapel of Ease", by D.M. Wilson, 1890.

He sold the farm May 31, 1667, and confirmed the sale in his will ofthe same date, equally to his son, Rev. JOHN WILSON of Medfield, anddaughter Mary, wife of Rev. Samuel Danforth of Roxbury. JOHN and Marymade a division of the land in 1687, JOHN taking the southern partwhich remained in the possession of his descendants for many yearsafterwards.

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

Arrived from England in 1633
Wrote the Constitution of Connecticut
Founded Hartford Church
Ancestor of President Taft

Rev. THOMAS HOOKER was born at Marefield, Leicestershire, England, theson of THOMAS HOOKER and SUSANNAH PYM of Devonshire, on July 7, 1586.He entered Emanuel College, Cambridge, in 1603/04, receiving a B.A.degree in 1607/08, and an M.A. in 1611. He then began the study ofdivinity, and was elected Fellow of the College, but left schoolbefore completing his first course. He started preaching in theCambridge and London area. He married Susannah Harkes Garbrand, hissecond wife, on Apr. 3, 1621, in Amersham, Buckinghamshire, England.The name of his first wife, by which he had two children, is notknown.

In 1626 he became a lecturer and assistant to the Rev. Mr. Mitchell atChelmsford, and had the opportunity to speak to noblemen and others ofhigh standing in English society. Rev. HOOKER became a victim ofreligious persecution. In 1630 he was tried in Spiritual Court atChelmsford, and silenced for non-conformity. He continued to worknearby, teaching at a school at Little Baddow. After a petition tohave him reinstated in the English Church was turned down, he decidedto move to Holland. He remained there for three years, first inAmsterdam, then Delft, and finally in Rotterdam.

He then returned to England for a visit, but found that his enemieswere still active. He was forced to go into hiding, and in July 1633he escaped by concealing himself on the ship "Griffin", sailing fromthe Downs. He arrived at Boston, Suffolk, MA, on Sep. 4, 1633, and onOct. 11 was chosen pastor of the church at Newton, where he remainedfor the next two years.

But, ironically, the desire for full political and religious liberty... the impelling motive the drove the first settlers to the shores ofNew England, was also the chief cause of the formation of many of theinterior settlements. When dissensions arose, as was inevitable amongthe independent pioneers, groups would depart and settle newcommunities. It was exactly this climate that developed in Boston, asTHOMAS and the autocratic Rev. John Cotton found they could notcoexist in Newton. Both leaders refrained from an open quarrel, and in1635 permission was obtained from Governor William Bradford, toestablish some settlements along the Connecticut River.

On Oct. 15, 1635, a party of sixty men, women, and children, set outby land for Connecticut. They sent their household goods by ship. Thejourney was a terrible hardship and the winter one of great suffering.The people from Dorchester settled at Windsor, those from Watertown atWethersfield, and those from Cambridge at Hartford.

In June, 1636, Rev.THOMAS HOOKER, along with an additional 100 of hisfollowers joined the original group in forming the settlement atHartford, Hartford, CT, and became identified with all the majordevelopments of the colony. Rev. Roger Newton became a student of hisat Hartford, and married his daughter, Mary, in 1644. Rev. HOOKERpublished many books and sermons between 1637 and his death.

In 1638, Rev. THOMAS HOOKER preached the sermon that led to theadoption of the "Fundamental Orders", the first written constitutionin the world that created a government. Today the Old State House,site of that sermon, is a museum in downtown Hartford.

He became ill with a violent epidemic disease and died at Hartford, onJuly 7, 1647, his 61st birthday. He is buried in the cemetery atCenter Church in downtown Hartford. A statue commemorating his lifestands at the old State House, about two blocks from where he isburied.

THOMAS left a rather sizeable estate of £1136 15s 00d. Compared withother estates of the time, this would make him one of the wealthy menof the Connecticut Colony. However, it is not known where this wealthcame from. After leaving college he had mainly minor clericalpositions, probably earning no more than £25 per year. It's doubtfulhe accumulated much while a refugee in Holland. He owned his house inNewton, and sold it to Rev. Thomas Shepard, his future son-in-law.Again, it is doubtful this asset could have made him wealthy. And, theeleven years that he lived in Hartford would have been more of astruggle for existence than a time to accumulate wealth. It seemsextremely improbable that he could have himself accumulated thiswealth. It may have come by inheritance from his father, but there isno record to substantiate that as fact.

Later in 1647, the house in which THOMAS lived was demolished. Duringthe demolition, workers found a private recptacle which had beenoverlooked when the house was emptied in preparation for thedemolition. They found papers which had been carefully bundled,probably by THOMAS himself. Without asking anyone, the workers threwthe papers in with the rubbish and carted them away to destruction.

After the death of THOMAS, it is believed that SUSANNAH became thewife of Elder William Goodwin and died in Farmington, Hartford, CT.

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

Thomas Wells married Frances Albret in the Parish of All Saints,Evesham, County Worcester 13 October 16251. Nothing has been found ofThomas before his marriage. We know his father was still living inFebruary 1636/37 as he was included as a beneficiary of Thomas' will,however his name was not stated, and no likely candidate was found ina search of burial and probate records of Evesham. We have not beenable to determine the identity of Frances Albret/Albright's parents orher place of residence before marriage, but she had brothers namedJohn Albright and Richard Albright, and we have a residence of thelatter. Richard Albright lived at Alderminster- the marriage ofRichard to Ann Kelbie on June 7, 1631 is recorded there, two childrenof this marriage are christened there, and Richard died there(inventory, March 6, 1638/39. Richard Albright left bequests in hisestate to his three children, and his brothers John Albright andGriffen Low. Richard and several of these same individuals were alsonamed in the Will of Thomas Welles. Alderminster is located about 10miles east of Evesham in County Warwick. Nearly all our informationabout Thomas Welles comes from his Will, dated February 9, 1637, inwhich he nominated his wife executrix, but again failed to give aname. We can assume with a high degree of certainty that this is thesame Thomas Welles who married Frances Albret/Albright.
In 1636 Thomas was a resident of Evesham, owned his own house and byoccupation was a weaver.
At the time this may have meant that he was a weaver of straw hats. Inaddition to the house he apparently, owned the land upon which heraised hogs with the help of a laborer, for in his Will he bequeathed"to my man Charles Whitell a shire hog worth eight shillings and twohatchets which he doth work with."
Thomas left bequests to each of his living children: "eldest sonThomas", daughter Mary, son John, and he even left a contingencybequest "if my wife be with child." The christening of three childrenand the burial of one daughter, of Thomas Welles are recorded in therecords and/or transcripts of the two parishes Evesham: All Saints andSt. Lawrence. The churches for these two parishes are locatedimmediately adjacent to each other in the center of the town ofEvesham.
In addition to the bequests already mentioned, Thomas Welles left twoshillings to each of the following individuals ( the familyrelationship, if any, of some of whom is yet to be determined): JosephClifford and John Welles, godsons; John Albright and CatherineAlbright, children of Richard Albright; Ann Albright abd Jone Tege,daughters of John Albright; John Loe and Sara Loe, children of GriffenLoe (Richard called him brother [-in-law] Low); Joel Pathit; and SaraOrduay-- Edward Ourdway William Lampit and Thomas Hardy were witnessesto the Will.
On February 13, 1636/37, a Thomas Welles was buried in the parish ofAll Saints, Evesham. Initially it was thought this burial date seemedto indicate that this individual could not have been the Thomas Welleswho wrote his Will February 9, 1637/38, his father (name unknown) orhis son, since all were still living at this "later" date. Furtherchecking of the Will has shown that it was a nuncupative Will and hasno probate date attached to it. The superscription on the front of theWill is merely "1637". There is no probate act book for this periodand the index in which it appears, apparently written in the 18thcentury, lists the Will under 1637 with no other inication of whetherit was 1636/37 or 1637/38. In short, this may have been the sameThomas Welles with some sort of date error in the Will, but but we maynever know for certain. No further listing of any Welles has beenfound in Evesham records. Efforts to equate the widow Frances Wellesfamily in England with the one in New England yeilded onlycircumstantial evidence to support the contention until the inventoryof Richard Albright was located in which are named "Thomas Coalman'schildren". Among other things, this shows that Frances (Albright)Welles married Thomas Coalman before March 1638/39 (date of theinventory of her brother's estate) or within two years of the death ofher husband Thomas Welles and not in Connecticut as has previouslybeen presumed.
Additional research by Douglas Richardson published in "The NewEngland Historical and Genealogical Register" Vol. CXLVI, January 1992also revealed that in "Aspinwall's Notarial Records" (a volumerelating to the early history of Boston) a reference dated October 3,1646 showed that Thomas Coalman gave a power of attorney "…untoCaptain Robert Harding of Boston 'to aske & all writeings touching hishouse in Esstum [sic. Surely Evesham] in the County of Worcestershirewhich are in the hands of John Albright or any other, & to said housedo lett or sell & make seale & Deliver deeds or writeing of the same,
& to receive the rent for the time past due; also to receive theRemainder of a Legacie in the hands of John Norton of Cotherstock Esqrgranted by the Will of John Coalman of Cotherstock." This would seemto prove conclusively that the wife of Thomas Welles of Evesham wasindeed Frances Albright.
Many of the genealogies of this family identify the wife of "Hugh" tohave been Frances Belcher. Yet, no proof has been offered to properlylink the name Belcher with Frances Coalman except that it was the nameof a man married by one of her granddaughters. Many attempts to detailthe Belcher line have been made, but never has one proven that anyoneby this name ever married a Welles in the proper period.
The Will of Frances Coalman appears to prove (circumstantially again)that the Deborah (or sometimes Debro) mentioned in the Will was indeedDeborah Coleman as she is the only child who is not identified by lastname in the Will. Each of the Welles children is mentionedspecifically as "Welles" on each occurrence.
Deborah appears several times only by her first name clearlyindicating that there would be no confusion to the reader that thechild was Deborah Coleman not Welles.
Obviously this does not prove that she was a natural daughter ofFrances, as she could possibly have been a very young child byColeman's first wife whom Frances raised and felt was her child moreso than the other Coleman children. We have, in fact, not seen anyrecord of the birth of this Deborah Coleman to Thomas Welles andFrances Coleman.

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

His date of birth can be approximately established in that hisfather's will states that John is not yet 21 in June 1617.

".....Elder John White (1605-1683-1684), who came from England in 1632on the ship "Lyon" and, after living in Cambridge, Massachusetts,where he was admitted freeman in 1633 and townsman in 1635, removed toHartford, Connecticut, in 1636, as one of the original proprietors. Hewas frequently townsman there as well as at Hadley, Massachusetts,whither he moved in 1659. In 1671 he returned to Hartford and wasordained ruling elder of the Second Church in 1677."

Source of the following: "Descendants of John White in the Line ofEnsign Daniel White of Middletown,
Supplementary to Memorials of Elder John White" , Edward Wade Carman.

". . . . John White found his first home in this western world. Hishome lot, with his dwelling house, was on the street then calledCow-Yard Row. This home lot contained about three-quarters of an acreof land, and was early allotted to him, together with about thirtyacres of farming lands. On the 5th of August, 1633, three-quarters ofan acre more, near his home lot, was granted to him by the town, for acow-yard. "Gore Hall", the beautiful library building of HarvardUniversity, probably now graces this cow-yard. If not on the identicalsite, it is, beyond a doubt, very near to it. . . ."

". . . . In the records of Hartford, John White appears as one of theoriginal proprietors. His allotments consisted--as nearly as can bedetermined from the records -- of his house lot, containing about twoacres, of about forty acres of meadow, about thirty-two acres ofupland, ten acres of swamp and one hundred and fifty acres of uplandat Hockanum, east of the Great River. . ."

". . . . At Hartford he was again called into public service. In 1642he was chosen one of the selectmen of the town -- or 'orderers' asthese officers were at first called - and again in 1646, in 1651, andin 1656. His name also appears frequently on the record of the Courts,as a juror, or as an arbitrator in the settlement of privatedifferences. . ."

". . . .On the 18th of April, 1659, sixty persons, from Hartford andWethersfield, signed the agreement to remove to Hadley. The place ofJohn White's name, as the fifth on the list, indicates that he wasamong the leaders of that important movement. . ."

". . . .he was chosen one of the selectmen in 1862, in 1663, and in1665. He also served the town in 1664 and in 1669, as Representative-- or Deputy, as it was then styled -- to the General Court ofLegislature of Massachusetts, sitting in Boston. . ."

". . . .and it was probably during this year (1670) that he returnedto Hartford. . ."

". . . .After his return to Hartford his name does not appear againupon the records, as holding civil office or performing civilservices. The office of Elder then exempted him who bore it from allduties of this kind. But as an arbitrator, referee, and council inecclesiastical matters, he performed good service to the churches. In1676, and in 1677, he and his eldest son Nathaniel, then ofMiddletown, were members of the council called to hear the difficultywhich had long troubled the ancient church in Windsor; and the finalrecommendation of the council, with the autograph signature of itsmembers, may be seen in the archives of the State, at Hartford."

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

Michael Bacon, the son of Michael and Elizabeth (Wylie) Bacon, wasborne in Winston, Suffolk County, England, where he was baptized onDec. 6, 1579. Nothing is known of his life there. In 1633 his nameappears as one of the signers of the Dedham agreement. He evidentlydid not remain in this country at that time, for we find him to be asubscriber in the ship money returns for Suffolk County, England,under date of Mar. 27, 1640. He was put down for eight shillings. Inthe Dedham records he is stated to have come from Ireland, but hisstay in that country was probably only a brief one, and possibly hemay only have gone there to take passage to this country. Thetradition that seems to be prevalent in many families that threebrothers came over together holds good in this family, for withMichael came his three sons, as well as his grandchildren then born.

At a meeting held in Dedham May 26, 1640, the following vote waspassed:

"It was by Inhabitants appoynted such are deputed to order Towneaffayrs & others also being Called together for advice therein vpondeliberacon & good consideracon assented vnto & agreed vpon that theTowne of Dedham shall enterteyne Mr. Samuell Cooke together wth hisestate And also Mr. Smith & Mr. Bacon all from Ireland & afford tothem such accomodacons of vpland & medowe as their estates shallRequier & as ye Towne wthout Reall prjudice to ye sayd Towne canafforde wth all such accomodacons as their or any of their estates maycompetently Requier & Impve. And yt the same pvision of medowe &vpland shall principally lye in or about yt place of medowe Comonlycalled Bogastowe medowe. Together also wth such other vpland or houseplaces or such other pcell or pcells as maye be sutable to ye saydpsons & ye prsent condicion of ye sayd towne wch sayd pcells shall lyein ye sayd towne as may be conveniently fownd for ye same vse ofbuilding vpon."

On June 23, 1640, the following vote was passed:

"Whereas Mris Smith & Mr. Bacon being lately arrived heer from Irelandhaue been in our towne & not only well appvd of but also genrallydesiered yt they might inhabitte wth vs And howesoeur their housbandsare not yet come yet liberty is graunted vnto them to purchase in ourtowne for an habitacon. And such other accomodacons both of vpland &medowes to be given vnto them as their stocks and estates shallRequier as appeth by a former order concrneing ye same."

In 1644 Michael Bacon granted land to the town for a highway, and wefind that the following vote was passed by the town:

"Whereas Michael Bacon hath parted with some of his plantinge Lot onthe South side of Charles River for a common highway viz, from theTrayning ground to the Cart Bridge ouer Charles Riur three rods broadand may be ocasioned more charge of fencing thereby the Towne dothgrant vnto him for full satisfaction for the same and it is fullyassented vnto on both sides as followeth that the sd Michael shallhaue & enjoy to him & his assignes for euer all that parcell of vplandye remainder of a ten acres vpon the Iland and a parcell of meadowlying on the east side of it. Also a pcell of vpland as it lyeth fromye sd ten acre lot downe to Charles Riuer Reseruing for the vse of thetowne foreuer a highway three rods broad throu all the sd two pcellsof vpland where the Towne shall think most conueinent. Always pruidedyt the sd Michael shall haue all the wood & timber growinge or ytshall grow vpon the sd highway.
And it is agreed betwene then yt if the towne shall se cause to desirea fence to be se vp to fence ye highway from ye land of Michael Baconin his planting field abouesd the sd Michael is to prouide ye fencingstuffe ready & ye towne is to be at the Charg of the Carrage of it &ye sd Michael is to set it vp at his owne prop charge and to maintaineit at his owne Charge for euer. and is the mean while he is to prouidea gate or gates to secure his corne & to maintain them.
This grant aforesaid is in full satisfaction for his land or fencingeor for any trees yt heretofore have bin felled vpon any of thepremyses.

The sd Michael Bacon is to enjoy the sd land wth out paying any Ratesfor it for euer."

Michael Bacon's wife was named Alice. By Dedham records he died April18, 1648, and she died April 2, 1648. His will as published in the NewEngland Historical and Genealogical register for July, 1853, is asfollows:

From "Historical Southern Families, Vol. XVII, Thomas Gray (AncientPlanter ) of Surry County, Virginia, Page 102":

"It has already been mentioned that Capt. Francis Gray, who, onNov.23, 1661, receipted Nathaniel Stanton of all debts (Surry Book 1,p.175), was probably of Charles City County, instead of Francis Gray#6 of the Thomas Gray family. This Francis Gray (his name isfrequently spelled Grey rather than Gray in the old records) wasgranted 750 acres in Charles City Co. Nov.24,1653 (Nugent, p.231). AGrace Singleton whom he claimed as one of his transportees in thisgrant was probably his wife Grace. Capt. Francis Gray appears a numberof times in the surviving Charles City Co. Order Book, 1655-66, andwas a prominent man, being a Justice of the County and several times aBurgess. In 1665, Mrs. Grace Gray appealed to the Charles City Co.Court about her husband's (Capt. Francis Grayts) treatment of her.According to her testimony, she had been married to Francis Gray fortwenty-four years, had brought him a good dower at the time, though hewas poor, and had borne him six living children, names not given, ofwhom three were married in 1665.
Capt. Francis Gray does not appear in the scanty Charles City Countyrecords after 1666, and probably died before 1677, the next recordsextant. Two of his and Grace Gray's children are known and two othersvery probable.
On April 3,1663 Capt. Francis Gray of Martin's Brandon, Gent., leased100 acres to Thomas Mudgett for 21 years, and "if Thomas has issue byhis wife, daughter of Capt. Francis Gray", the land is to becomeMudgett's O.B.?p.381). The daughter was probably Ann Mudgett, widow ofThomas,decd., ,who died in Surry County in 1690. Ann Muggett's will,dated Sept.4,1689 and probated in Surry, July 1, 1690 (Bk 4,p.144)mentions Philip Shelley, Jr., and his youngest brother John Shelley;Elizabeth Sugars; granddaughter Ann Shelley; and Philip Shelley, Sr.Another daughter of Francis and Grace Gray was Elizabeth Gray, of whomnothing further is known.
On Aug.3, 1664 Capt. Francis Gray and Mrs. Grace Gray testified inregard to the property of Shelby Sparrow, decd., and said that Sparrow
left a small Bible to their daughter Elizabeth (probably thenunmarried) (Charles City County O.Bk. 1655 66, p.491).
The "eldest child of Francis and Grace Gray was probably Peter Gray,to whom on June 6,1660 Thomas Busby of Surry County deeded his houseand 300 acres on Chippoakes Creek, the deed being witnessed by FrancisGray (Surry 162). On Nov. 10,1660 Thomas Busby and peter Gray made anagreement that Thomas should have the use of the tobacco house for ayear (same reference). This is the on1y appearance of Peter Gray inthe Surry Co. records, though he appears a number of times in theCharles City Co. Order Book 1655-66. One record there shows that PeterGray sued Francis Hogwood (who later moved to Surry Co.) for beingresponsible for the death of Peter's wife, Mary Gray. If, as seemslikely, Peter Gray was a son of Capt. Fran-tis Gray, he must have beenonly about 18 years old when he was deeded the land by Thomas Busby in1660, for Francis and Grace Gray were not married until 1640-41.
The fourth known or probable child of Francis and Grace Gray wasprobably the wife of Thomas Busby of Surry County, whose name wasSusannah. On July 22, 1671, Thomas Busby made a deed of gift to hisdaughter, Grace Busby, of a mare filly, to come to Grace when she wasten years old, and mention is made in this document of 150 pounds oftobacco, which Thomas owed to Capt. Gray, deceased (Book 1, p.389).
Another daughter of Thomas Busby was Jane
Busby, whose mark for cattle was handed in along with that of herfather in 1674 (Bk.2, p.55). A son was Jeffrey Busby, who appears as atithable in his father's family in 1687, so born ca 1670-1671.
On April 20,1680 Thomas Busby and Susannah his wife deeded 100 acresto Daniel Roome,George Foster and Thomas Flood being witnesses (Book2, p.273), and they made a deed Oct.20,1681 to Edward Greene (Book 2,p.301). In the latter deed the husband is called Thomas Busby Sr.,
indicating that he had a son named Thomas, as well as a son Jeffrey.Thomas Busby Sr. was b. ca 1632 as he gave his age as 59 in adeposition
in 1691 (Bk.6, p.228). He was Interpreter to the Southern Indians1682-1691 (Journal of the House of Burgesses) He seems to have hadtwo other daughters, Mary and Sarah, who as Mazy Malone and SarahJones, "daughters of Thomas Busby, decd." made a deed in Prince GeorgeCounty in the 1720's (Prince George D. & W. 1713-28, p.595). Therecords regarding Thomas Busby and his family, above, show that Capt.Francis Gray died
1671 or earlier. Though not immediately connected with the family ofThomas Gray of Surry, Capt. Gray may have been a kinsman, since ThomasGray named one of his sons Francis."

ANCESTRY OF FRANCIS WAKEMAN

The word "Wakeman" is defined in Worcester's dictionary as "the titleof the chief magistrate of the town of Ripon, Yorkshire, England." Itseems to have meant "wide-awake man." At one time it was pronounced asif to rhyme with Parkman, or rather with what the latter would bePa'kman-if the "r" was silent; but by about 1650 the pronunciation hadchanged to "Wackman." At Ripon the title descended from father to sonand gave rise to the surname of Wakeman.
From 1473 to 1479 William Wakeman was priest of the chapel of St. Maryat Kidderminster, near the northern border of Worcestershire. At thesame time John Wakeman lived at Drayton, a small hamlet some fourmiles distant, in the rural parish of Chaddersley Corbett. The familytradition, recorded by Burke, makes them brothers, sons of a WilliamWakeman. The same tradition states the name of John's wife as AliceWormelay.
The earliest pedigree now extant is that of the Wakeman's of Beckford,in Gloucestershire. It is given in several ancient manuscriptspreserved in the British Museum, and may be found in the"Gloucestershire Visitations" published by the Harleian Society. Underthe Tudors and Stuarts it was customary for the heralds to make toursor "visitations" throughout the various counties of England, stoppingat the houses of the gentry to bring their pedigree up to date and,when necessary, to arrange for reviving or granting coats of arms.Those who declined to pay their fees were regularly listed as notentitled to be classed as gentlemen, some of these lists being stillpreserved. In 1586 the heralds granted to Richard Wakeman of Beckforda coat of arms which, according to the "Blazonry of Episcopacy," hadbelonged to his uncle, John Wakeman, bishop of Gloucestershire, from1541 to 1549. The names of their fathers and grandfathers preserved inthe "Visitation" may be accepted as having been stated by them to theheralds, and probably also those of elder brothers, as follows:

John Wakeman of Drayton
William Wakeman of Drayton
________________________________
/ Wakeman of Drayton, John Wakeman, bishop
________________________________
/ Wakeman Richard Wakeman
William Wakeman
Edward Wakeman

The houses of the brothers Roger and Richard were included at greatlength in the manuscripts, as the result of subsequent inquiries onthe part of the heralds. They also noted that the bishop's mother wasan heiress named Godespayne, and that his brother William's wife wasof a family named Clarke, whose arms were sketched. The Wakeman armsas recognized in the "Visitation," for the families of both brothers,were borne by Roger's descendants at Tewkesbury and by Richard's atBeckford. They were engraved, for example, in 1634 on a tomb inTewkesbury church.

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

Travelled to America with brother, Matthew in 1639, said to have beenaccompanied by Rev. Ephraim Kent of Windsor, Conn., who had been aminister near Kenilworth, England. Edward made an affidavit on May 14,1864, that in the year, 1639, he came to New England in a ship ofwhich one William Whiting was undertaker and many other persons camealso and settled at Windsor, Conn.

The Griswold Family Genealogy of 1935 indicated that the parentage ofEdward and the maiden name of his first wife were uncertain, thoughthe Lawson pages indicate some clue into these mysteries. Whatever hisEnglish roots, Edward and his family, together with Edward's brother,Matthew came to the American colonies in the company of Rev. EphriamHewett aboard the Mary and John 30 May 1630. The company landed inMassachusetts and settled in Dorcester. Many of the company later madetheir way to Connecticut where they arrived in Windsor in August 1639.Hewett had been the pastor at Knowle and Wroxall in Warsickshire,England. (Wroxall was part of Kenilworth Parish). The colonialmigration took place following the censure of Rev. Huit, indicatingthat he and his parish espoused the nonconformist Puritan doctrine.
Connecticut Colonial and town records offer many references to Edward.He was Deputy to the General Court from Windsor (18 Aug 1658 - 14 Mar1660; 15 May 1662 - 11 Mar 1663) and was Justice of the Peace in thattown prior to 1663. By 1649 he was living on land in Poquonoc whichhad been granted him in 1642.

"He was granted land at Poquonoc but he did not remove there untilafter the title of the Indians had been fully extinguished, 1642. Buthe was resident there with two other families, John Bartlett andThomas Holcomb, in 1649. His home stood near the highway at the top ofthe hill; had 29 1/2 acres bounded mostly south and west by StonyBrook; east by the river. His sons George and Joseph inherited thehomestead." Griswold
In 1663, Edward in named on the list of original proprietors of thenew plantation at Hammonasset which was later known as Killingworth.Actually, this future town was apparently originally named Kenilworthby its founders and, through a series of colonial clerical errorseventually found its current name. (Further discussion of the foundingof Killingworth CT can be found on the HULL pages under Josiah HULL).Edward is also listed in the original allotment of land in theplantation and is included on the 1669 list of freemen in the town.

Continuing his record of public service, Edward was the first deputyto the General Court from Killingworth and was the first deacon of thefirst church there, which he helped to organize.

"No stone marks the grave of Edward Griswold inClinton. A very roughslab of granite marked M.G. is supposed to be in memory of his wife,dated 1670. This is the oldest record in the Clinton Burying ground."Beers
Edward Griswold was a witness to the will of William Wellman in1668/9.

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

Abraham was one of the first settlers of Guilford, CT and was one ofthe 25 signed of the PLantation Covenant in 1639. He may have beenfrom Kent Co., England and was married in about 1630 in England. Noneof his children's births are recorded in Guilford, although it'slikely that some were born there. On 30 April 1646 he was appointed"overseer of the mill bay dams or floodgates;" on 6 June 1651 he wasmade assessor and, on 9 June 1653, townsman. In addition to hishouselot, he owned a parcel of upland and march in the valley on eachside of the West River , a parcel of upland of 20 acres abutting thecommon woods, a parcel of narsh land to the south of 10 1/2 acres anda parcel of upland "over against the mill' totalling 19 acres. Hiswife died in 1664 and he married widow Joanna Chittenden, formerlywife of his neighbor William.

"Abraham Crittenden came to Guilford from Cranebreak or Cranbrook,England in 1639 on the ship St. John together with Henry Whitfield anda large number of others and was the 18th signer of that PlantationCovenant drawn up on Shipboard June 1, 1639, which pledged its signersto settle together in one place. He was made a freeman May 19, 1651."

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

Thomas Gregson was likely baptized at St. Michael Old Angels,Sutton-on-the-Hill, Derbyshire, where other family baptisms tookplace; however, church records are missing for the period 5 march to 3June, 1598, the time frame during which he was likely baptized.

In the spring of 1637, a group of London merchants formed a company toestablish a commercial settlement in New England and, on 26 June thatyear, Thomas Gregson, Theophilus Eaton, Samuel Eaton, John Davenportand others arrived at Boston. After an explorotory trip in the fall of1637, they sailed from Boston 30 March 1638 and settled at Quinnipiac,buying land from the Indians and founded the New Haven Colony, site ofthe present East Haven. Gregson became the first treasurer andTheophilus Eaton, the first Governor (see Theophilus Eaton elsewherein this genealogy, 2nd husband of Ann (Lloyd) Yale and stepfather toThomas Yale).

Thomas Gregson served as magistrate of the New Haven colony, a deputyto the General Court and one of the first commissioners of the UnitedColonies of New England He was a member of the family of Sherrow Hall,Thurvaston, Derby, England.

After failure of a trading post established on the Delaware River, themerchants decided to attempt shipment of goods directly to Englandand, to this end, commissioned a ship to be built, later called "TheGreat Shippe" or the "Fellowship." It was chartered for the Londonvoyage by a group called "The Company of Merchants of New Haven, ofwhich Thomas Gregson was one. Filled with grains, hides and plate andabout 70 passengers and crew, it sailed from New Haven in January,1646. Thomas Gregson was aboard, having been entrusted with themission to return to England to secure an official charter for thecolony, to clearly separate it from the Hartford Colony which claimedthat New Haven fell within its jurisdiction. The ship sailed and wasnever seen again, believed to have been lost in a tempest. Nora G.Frisbie, in "Edward Frisbie of Branford," relates that she was laterseen "..as a phantom ship sailing over New Haven harbor, her sails andspars collapsing as she disappeared into the clouds, and the visionwas believed by the townspeople to have been a divine revelation ofher fate." The ship was later commemorated by Longfellow in his poem,"The Phantom Ship."

The inventory of his estate was not taken until 2 Nov. 1647 by MatthewGuilbert & Richard Miles and was valued at 490 pounds, 6,6. Reduced bydebts owed, the net value was 364 pounds, 3,4. It was not distrbuteduntil 2 April 1716 - to daughters Phebe Russell, Anna Daniel, SusannaCrittenden, Rebecca Bowers, Sarah Whitehead and heirs of his only son,Richard.

1644 THE PHANTOM SHIP

As early as 1644 Theophilus Eaton, Stephen Goodyear, Thomas Gregstonand perhaps other merchants at New Haven entrusted the construction ofan ocean-going vessel to John Wakeman, Joshua Atwater, Jasper Craneand Richard Miles. Though ill built and very "walt-side," in duecourse the ship was completed. Entrusted with a cargo of wheat, peas,hides, beaver and peltry and manuscript writings of John Davenport atNew Haven and Thomas Hooker at Hartford, about the middle of January,1646, the vessel ploughed its way through three miles of ice in NewHaven harbor and tackled the stormy Atlantic. On board were ThomasGregson, Nathaniel Turner, George Lamberton, the wife of StephenGoodyear, and Francis Austin. After many months, a mirage of the shipwas said to have appeared over the harbor at New Haven, but the vesselitself neither reached its destination nor returned to its port ofdeparture. Despite this initial setback, on October 7, 1646, a secondvessel was about to be launched at New Haven; in the summer of 1648 athird vessel was under construction; and in the spring of 1661 CharlesGlover laid a fifty-foot keel at Southold.

one piece of verification: from Christine Baker<dreeves@localaccess.net>:
Descended from the Dorset Branch of the Gray family. The Dorset Graysare of great antiquitty, and were for many generations in high favorwith the English Kings. Members of this family were for centuriesseated in Westminister and other sections in
and about London. It appears John was not a native of Stapleford, onlya resident of many years.

7842. Thomas* Lettice ² was born about 1612 in England^² and died before 1648 in Plymouth , Plymouth Co., MA.^²

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

LETTICE, THOMAS -He is first mentioned in the records on 7 March1636/37
when Francis Cooke brought charges against Thomas Lettice, JamesWalker,
John Browne the younger, and Thomas Teley, who being in the service of
John Browne the elder and Thomas Willet, who were also charged, abused
Cooke's cattle; he was awarded 3 pounds damages and thirteen shillings
six pence for costs (PCR 7:5). In several actions of 1641 againstJaynes
Luxford, Thomas Lettice (twice) and other complainants were awarded
property belonging to Luxford which was in the hands of others. (PCR
7:25, 27). On 2 December 1639 William Fallowell, Robert Finney, John
Finney, and Thomas Lettice were assigned garden places near Webb'sField
(PCR 1:136). Thomas Lettice became a freeman in 1654 (PCR 3:48). In
1659 he brought charges against Thomas Pope for abusive carriages atthe
mill at Plymouth, and Pope was fined ten shillings to the use of the
colony (PCR 3:173). Lettice served at times on juries and as surveyorof
highways (PCR, passim). In 1651 a John Lettice was constable for
Plymouth (PCR 2-.167), but this may have been a clerical error forThomas
Lettice, since John Lettice is otherwise unknown (except for an errorin
the index of PCR 3, where in the text Thomas Lettice served on a 1660
coroner's jury (PCR 3:196), but was indexed as John Lettice). Thomas
bought a house and seven acres of land in Plymouth from Thomas Cushmanon
24 March 1641 (PCR 12:77), and on 27 August 1679 he was living on New
Street (now called North Street) in Plymouth (PCR 6:161).

Savage thought he might have been the Thomas Lettyne, age twentythree,
who appears in Hotten, P. 60, as sailing for New England in theElizabeth
on 15 April 1635, but there is no way to confirm or refute this. Inhis
will dated 1678, confirmed by him 25 October 1681, and sworn October
1682, Lettice named his wife Anne, and his daughters Anne, wife ofSamuel
Jenney; Elizabeth Cooke, widow; and Dorothy, wife of Edward Gray (MD
14:64). His son Thomas died 3 November 1650 (PCR 8:11). His daughter
Elizabeth married (1) 18 October 1655 William Shurtleff (PCR 8:17) (2)
Jacob Cooke, son of Mayflower passenger Francis Cooke, as his secondwife
and (3) Hugh Cole, as his second wife (PCR 8:32; MD 13:204.

7864. George* Hull ² was born in 1590 in Crewkerne, Somersetshire, England^² and died between Aug and Nov 1659 in Fairfield, CT.^²

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]

George was a "surveyor, Indian trader, magistrate, statesman andfounder of a prominent branch of the Hull family in America".(Weygant). Apparently he descended from an educated family as hisbrothers, Joseph and William both graduated from St. Mary's Hall atOxford and were ministers of the Church of England. Further evidenceof his background is gleaned from the fact that his wife was thedaughter of a "well-to-do yeoman of Stockland" (Ibid) in Dorsetshire.

George sailed for the American colonies from Plymouth 30 Mar 1629 / 30on the Mary and John; his youngest son, Joshua was baptised atCrewkerne 7 months after this date, indicating that Thomasene and theyoung family were left in England while George became part of the"Great Migration". He shared the voyage with friends including Georgeand John Ludlow and future son-in-law Humphrie Pinney. He was a shorttime in Boston and went on to help settle the town of Dorchester wherehe was on the first board of selectmen and was made a freeman 4 Mar1632/3 and was the town's first representative to the General Court.

In 1636 he moved to Windsor Connecticut where he surveyed both Windsorand Wethersfield. In exchange for this service, he received his choiceof homelots in Windsor where he again represented his town in theGeneral Court. It was here in 1638 that he and Pinney, through thegraces of the General Court, received a monopoly on the beaver tradeon the Connecticut River.

In 1638 he followed his friend George Ludlow, now governor ofConnecticut, to Fairfield where he became the General Court designatedassistant to the governor. In 1651, '53, '54 he was appointed by thegovernor as associate magistrate for the towns by the seaside.

He was apparently well connected on the political scene of theblossoming colonies; Cotton Mather mentions him as does Connecticutstate historian Trumbull who groups him "with those whose names areworthy of perpetuation". Stiles, too says that he was "a citizen ofworth and distinction."

General Notes: Per book, Descendants of Joseph Loomis in America, Joseph Loomisarrived in New England on ship named "Susan & Ellen" of London, whosemaster was Mr. Edward Payne. Joseph Loomis was a "woolen draper," aman who bought cloth from weavers and sold it in his shop inBraintree. Windsor, CT was founded by Puritans from MA in 1633 inorder to block Dutch from New Netherlands from moving into CT valley.

A Descendant, "The Children of Robert White of Messing, Co. Essex,England, Who Settled in Hartford and Windsor," New England Historicaland Genealogical Register, Vol. 55, p. 23-39, Jan. 1901, reprinted inGary Boyd Roberts, English Origins of New England Families from theHistorical and Genealogical Register, Selected and Introduced by GaryBoyd Roberts, 1984, Baltimore, MD, Genealogical Publishing Co., hasthe following information on Joseph Loomis:

"In the Loomis Genealogy, pages 9-11, evidence is given proving thatJoseph Loomis, of Braintree in England, came to Boston in 1638 andsettled in Windsor in 1639. It is believed that this Joseph Loomis isthe Joseph Loomis whose marriage, June 30th, 1614, to Mary White, isrecorded in the Parish Register of Shalford, and this theory issupported by the bequest in 1617 of Robert White to my 'daughterMaire, the wife of Joseph Loomis of Braintree.'"

Elias Loomis, Descendants of Joseph Loomis in America, revised byElisha S. Loomis, 1908, Berea, OH, Elisha S. Loomis, pp. 104-106, hasthe following information about Joseph Loomis:

The Braintree men, through their business abroad, had opportunities tolook out upon a world that was wider than their own shire. London wasdoubtless no strange city to Joseph Loomis. There he must have goneboth to sell and to buy. As a wholesale cloth merchant he may havevisited the continent,-- even Spain and Portugal, since it was thatthe Braintree-Bocking cloth was largely sold in those countries.Non-conformity developed with Braintree's commercial growth. Bothfeatures seem to have started together. Spiritual liberty was likelyfounded upon the material independence of the individual. Dissent inEssex dates back to 1375, the days of John Wyclif, the Reformer, whoseideas were favored by John o' Gaunt, the over-lord of our earlyLoomises in Lancashire. In the following reigns the government triedbut failed, even with the measures that were severe, to stamp it out.But it was not until Tyndale's translation of the New Testamentreached the people that Braintree residents became dissenters,conspicuously. The church and state soon proscribed the translation,and those who were found to possess a copy of it were punished. In1527 three men and a woman, all of Braintree and of the name ofBeckwith, were dealt with for having a copy of the New Testament inEnglish. Some ecclesiastics sought to "corner" the Bible and maintain"trust methods" in disseminating its contents. The repression didlittle good, for on January 27, 1550, some sixty persons--(it isrelated by Frederic West) met in a house in Bocking on a Sunday, wherearose a great discussion amongst them. The subject thereof was"whether it was necessary to stand or to kneel, to be bareheaded orcovered at prayer." These people soon arrived at a remarkably sensibleand clear judgment, viz. (that) "the ceremony was not material, butthat the heart before God was required, and nothing else." The wondernow is that everybody else could not then see the truth of thatutterance. As for the clergy, they would not see it if they could.Moreover, the church determined that nobody should be suffered toexpress such a sane belief. And so those Braintree-Bocking people, whocould think a little for themselves, were denounced as "dangerous,"which, in another way, they certainly were. The Sheriff soon appearedand these people of clear insight were brought before the Council.They confessed that they had assembled "for to talk of theScriptures;" also that they had not attended communion at the parishchurch for two years. Five of them were condemned to prison, and sevenbound over in a penalty of œ40 each (over $2,000).

The Baptists of Braintree claim the date of that meeting, in the houseat Bocking, 1550, as marking the origin of their church. Between 1553and 1558, when the persecuting statutes against heretics were revived,during the temporary increase of Papal power in England in the reignof Queen Mary, and while the Bishops Latimer, Ridley, Cranmer andothers were being burnt, quite a number of citizens in and aroundBraintree, also were condemned to death at the stake. These wereWilliam Piggott, Stephen Knight, Thomas Hawkes, John Laurence, WilliamHunter, Richard and Thomas Spurge, Catherine Hutt, William Purchas,Cavell and Ambrose. The burning of these martyrs is described in Fox'sBook of Martyrs, wherein is also mentioned the putting to death atCanterbury, of one John Lomas of Tenterden in Kent, heretoforereferred to.

All that sort of actual and severe persecution quite came to an endwith the death of Queen Mary, 1558. England then ceased to beCatholic, and became nominally Protestant. Non-conformity so steadilyincreased, however, that under Queen Elizabeth Parliament enacted thefollowing:--

(Statutes of the Realm, 23 Eliz. (1581) C. I. Vol. IV, p. 657--"Thatevery person above the age of xvj yeares, which shall not repaire tosome Churche Chappell or usual Place of Common Prayer, but forbearethe same contrarye to the tenour of a Statute made in the firste yeareof her Maties Reigne for Uniformite of Common Prayer, and beingthereof lawfull convicted, shall forfaite to the Queene's Matie, forevery Moneth after the end of this Session of Parliament whiche he orshe shall so forbeare, twentie poundes of lawfull English Money; andthat over and besides the said Forfeytures, every person soforbearing, by the space of xii Monethes as aforesaid, shall for hisor her obstinacie, after certificat thereof in Writinge made into theCourte commonlye called the Kinge's Bench, or by the Ordinarie of theDioces, a Justice of the Assise and Gaole Deliverye, or a Justice ofPeace of the Countie where suche Offendor shall dwell or be, be boundewith two sufficiente Suerties in the somme of two hundreth pound atthe leaste to the good Behavior, and so to continue bound, untillsuche tyme as the persons so bounde do conforme themselves and come tothe churche, accordinge to the true meaninge of the said Statute madein the said firste yeare of the Queene's Maties Raigne."

Absence, from church alone, unaccompanied by any other act,constituted recusancy. Till the Statute of 35 Eliz. (1591) C. I., allnon-conformists were considered as recusants; this statute was thefirst to distinguish the Popish from other recusants. The Protestantrecusants continued subject to the statutes before 35 Eliz.

The statute of 35th Eliz. (1591) added imprisonment, and if after 3months persistence the subject must adjure the realm, and that if hereturn after banishment or refuse this condition, he should suffercapitally as a felon, without benefit of clergy.

In the third year of Jas. I, 1606, this statute was amended to a fineof œ20 per month, and for not receiving the Sacrament œ20 for thefirst year, œ40 for the second year and for every default thereafterœ60. Non-conformists were not relieved altogether from these statutesuntil the Act of Toleration, I Wm. and Mary (1689) 1, c. 18.

The act for imprisonment and death was passed probably before JosephLoomis was born and before his father settled in Braintree. Hence allthe legal proceedings that were taken against those who violated thislaw have no special application to these Lomases, but Joseph Loomisfaced a heavy fine for a withdrawal from the parish church. We do notconsider that he did withdraw therefrom, but rather continued thereinthough as one of the dissatisfied minority. Before the last year ofElizabeth, 1603, some of the Essex clergy had become enlightened,which cost some fifty of them their positions. The liberal or Puritanparty in the church continued to gain in members for fifty years after1603, and many Separatist assemblies had become organized. It is, ofcourse, to be expected that John Lummys was something of a Puritan,though from what is known of him, no hint is had that he was anextremist--a Separatist. His son Joseph undoubtedly, was something ofa Puritan sympathizer. Both men probably attended St. Michael's churchin Braintree so long as they lived there. There is every reason tobelieve that they did so. There were small groups of people inBraintree that did not conform at all; but they were not composed ofimportant men like John Hawkins and Joseph Loomis. We cannot conceivethe loving friendship of these two men as possible, without religiousharmony between them; and Hawkins certainly did not withdraw from theparish church. John and Geoffrey Lommys and their wives must have beenburied in the churchyard. The business success of Joseph Loomis isevidence that he lived agreeably with his neighbors. Hisfather-in-law, Robert White, was a communicant of the Shalford orMessing churches until he died. We do not see anything in theBraintree religious conditions as particularly applied to JosephLoomis, to warrant the belief that he was any such puritanical sort ofgentleman as Macaulay so vindictively and unnecessarily described somePuritans were, viz:--

"The dress, the deportment, the language, the studies, the amusementsof the rigid sect (the Puritans) were regulated on principles notunlike those of the Pharisees who, proud of their washed hands andbroad phylacteries, taunted the Redeemer as a sabbath-breaker and awinebibber. It was a sin to hang garlands on a Maypole, to drink afriend's health, to fly a hawk, to hunt a stag, to play chess, to wearlove locks, to put starch into a ruff, to touch the virginals, to readthe Fairy Queen. Rules such as these, rules which would have appearedinsupportable to the free and joyous spirit of Luther, andcontemptible to the serene and philosophical intellect of Zwingle,threw over all life a more than monastic gloom. The learning andeloquence by which the great Reformers had been eminentlydistinguished for their success, were regarded by the new school ofProtestants with suspicion, if not with aversion. Some precisians hadscruples about teaching the Latin grammar, because the names of Mars,Bacchus and Apollo occurred in it. The fine arts were all butproscribed. The solemn peal of the organ was superstitions. The lightmusic of Ben Johnson's masques was dissolute. Half the fine paintingsin England were idolatrous, and the other half indecent. The extremePuritan was at once known from other men by his gait, the upturnedwhite of his eyes, the nasal twang with which he spoke, and above all,by his peculiar dialect. He employed, on every occasion, the imageryand style of Scripture
Joseph Loomis, the immigrant, was born in England, probably before1590. He was a son of John and Agnes Loomis. John Loomis died in 1619and his Will was exhibited in the Court of the Commissary of theBishop of London for the Counties of Essex and Hertford. His wifesurvived him and was left to "enioye all the said moveables whatsoeverDuring her natural life." Her death is not recorded.
Joseph Loomis was a woolen-draper at Braintree, County Essex. The LaySubsidy records in the Record Office in London show that he was taxed6s. on 3-8-0 worth of goods in 1629. For the time, it was arespectable sum.
He sailed from London in the "Susan and Ellen" on April 11, 1638 andarrived in New England on July 17, 1638. This is known from adeposition of Joseph Hills dated July 30, 1639, which also details hisbaggage "put up in 3 butts, 2 hogsheads, one haife hog shed, onebarrel, I tubb and 3 firkins, transported from Maiden (the portnearest Braintree) in the County of Essex to London in an Ipswich Hye,. . .."
Joseph Loomis married Mary White at Shalford, County Essex, on June30, 1614. Her parents were Robert and Bridget (Allgar) White. Thoughneither came to America, genealogists believe that their descendantscomprise the largest family in America, including over half of thepresent population.
On their arrival in America, Joseph and his family may have settledfirst at Dorchester. In 1639, he removed to Windsor, Connecticut.There Joseph received a twenty-one acre home lot on February 2, 1640.He also acquired other land by grant and purchase.
Mary (White) Loomis died at Windsor on August 23, 1652 and Joseph diedon November 25, 1658. His inventory showed property valued at 178pounds. He left no Will and his heirs agreed to a division of hisestate on December 2, 1658 (Windsor Original Records, II:115-6). Thisagreement was approved by the Court of Magistrates.
Joseph and Mary (White) Loomis had eight known children. The order isnot definitely known.
"Effie Belle Randall of Bath, Ohio: Her Ancestors and Descendants"; byTheodore N. Woods; p. 114; published by T.N. Woods; Phoenix, Arizona;1991 (CS71.R19 1991 LofC)

That pioneer Joseph Loomis was a man of "respectable pecuniary means"is also evidenced by the fact that his name appears on the tax list ofBraintree, England, for building a ship of 800 tons, to be built atPortsmouth, March 1, 1636, said ship to cost œ8,000, the parish ofBraintree being assessed œ951-12-4 1/2. Moreover Joseph Loomis'sfather-in-law, Robert White, was considered a rich man for his time,and this is fully verified by his will, which see hereinafter.
It is already known, of official evidence, that the "Joseph Lummys"("Lommys"), who resided in the town and parish of Braintree in Essex,England, left that place in the spring of the year of 1638; also, thatwithout any appreciable delay thereafter, he became a passenger ofrecord in a vessel of goodly register, known as the "Susan and Ellen,"and that this vessel did depart on the eleventh day in the month ofApril, of that year, from the port of London, bound for Boston in NewEngland, carrying quite a number of other voyagers with their personalproperties.
In this connection it is the writer's duty to deal with facts thathave not been made manifest hitherto--with respect to the scenes andcircumstances amid which he lived; and as well, to the elementscontributing chiefly to his taking leave of England. Thereunto letattention first be directed to the ways and the means by which JosephLummys, with his family and worldly goods, had "come up to London"from Braintree. By the sworn deposition, or affidavit, of one JosephHills of Charlestown, in the Massachusetts Bay Colony (see herein page21), made thereat on the 30th day of July, 1639, he, (Hills) being the"undertaker"--the manager or promoter of this particular vessel,voyage or emigration--it is learned that the various parcels embracingthe goods of Joseph Loomis (we shall principally refer to him asLoomis hereinafter) were "transported from Malden, in the county ofEssex, to London, in an Ipswich hye." This place of "Malden" beingMaldon, the Essex port, and an "Ipswich hye" meaning a smart craft ofsmall size and especially engaged, we may retrace the journey of thesaid Loomis, his family and friends, from London, viz: down theThames, up the Essex coast, across the Maplin and Foulness Sands, intothe wide and long reach of the mouth of the river Blackwater, andcontinuing thence up the river some ten miles, and so, back to Maldon.This small port was one through which there long had passed commerceand people between England and the Continent. That Joseph Loomis andfamily attended personally the transportation, from Maldon in thishye, of their eleven separate and varying pieces of baggage and"divers other goods," which the above-noted deposition recounts, maywell be believed.
The inland Blackwater river, though but a very small stream of only afew feet in width, reaches northwestward from Maldon, to and past "SixBells Corner" in the end of Bocking parish, by Braintree. But by sodevious a route does it flow, that Joseph Loomis, in his journeyseaward, only followed it in its lower half, viz: from Witham toMaldon. The "River Brain,"--a mere brook--lightly slips down directfrom the southern slope of Braintree to Witham, there uniting with theBlackwater. So it was that the emigrants came out of Braintree by thepleasant highway, paralleling the Brain. They passed through BlackNotley, White Notley and Faulkbourne,-- all sparse hamlets strungalong the gently undulating road, above the stream, yet each littlesettlement with its handy inn. Thus was reached Witham, then on thegreat Roman road between London and the northeast. Thence out ofWitham, they followed the course of the Blackwater by Wickham Place,through.
Langford and Heybridge to Maldon. Some fifteen miles in all fromBraintree it was, and over a favorite route for bicyclists nowadays.Alternating copses and fields, freshly furrowed for the seed-sowing,marked the way between the snug hamlets and the occasional housesplastered in white or yellow beneath their low-browed roofs of thatch.Some of these houses still exist along the way, and pretty much thesame sort of people as of yore still abide in them.
This longest way around, of 100 miles to London, may have been both aneasier and a quicker progress than by the forty miles of the shortesthighway thereto, by the way of Chelmsford. It should have been lesscostly a journey than that which necessitated frequent stops attaverns for rest and refreshment. Very well-ordered seems to have beenthe Loomis's departure. Many a stop was made at gate and door, inthose familiar fifteen miles, to give and receive blessings andfarewells--the last of earth--repeating what had but just happened inBraintree church and market-place.
Braintree scarce could afford to lose such a citizen as Joseph Loomis;but America needed him more, and he knew it. Just that same need wasexactly why he went away. Verily, it was not merely religion, not allprospect of gain, not great dissatisfaction with home,--not any one ofthese things that chiefly moved him to arise and go to set himselfdown three thousand miles from the ease of home. Broader than any ofthese causes was the reason. To help found a new country, with fairerlaws and wider liberties, where the ordinary man might be moresupreme--that was the Great Idea that possessed him, and many others.As of the non-conformist faction out of the church of England theywanted to dominate the church at home, which power they could notquite attain to there. But deeper than that desire in the breast ofJoseph Loomis was the spirit that moved him. He felt himself equal tothe task that other men had set. The challenge of their examplestirred him. The appeal of Opportunity decided him. It convinced hismind that he was one of "the chosen" for the Great Purpose. And theapparently unlimited possibilities, to him and his, of the naturalresources of an unclaimed land, hovered in his imagination. He had allthe money that he would require to pleasantly establish his family inAmerica. Let us dismiss, as being insufficient, the idea of "a band ofChristians fleeing from persecution" --save with respect to theMayflower's Pilgrims mostly. To the so-called Puritan settlers, thecomforts of religion were vastly more of a necessity and more relishedin the New than they had been to them in the Old England. Dailyspiritual refreshment kept them to their hard tasks, soothed thelonging for a return to the beautiful land they had forsaken, and, infact, the church was the keystone that held up the arch of the earlycolonization.

"Descendants of Joseph Loomis in America and His Antecedents in theOld World"; by Elias Loomis LL.D.;p. 98; Tuttle Morehouse & Taylor;New Haven, Connecticut; 1875 (FH L64.0 SR) (929.2 FH SCGS)

Joseph Loomis was a woolen-draper in Braintree, Essex county, England;sailed from London April 11, 1638, in the ship "Susan and Ellen," andarrived at Boston July 17, 1638, tarrying about 1 year at Dorchester,Massachusetts, it is thought. It is mentioned in the town records ofWindsor, Volume 1, that on the 2nd of February, 1640, he had grantedhim from the plantation 21 acres adjoining Farmington River, on thewest side of the Connecticut river, this 21 acres including the siteof the first English settlement made in Connecticut, also severallarge tracts of land on the east side of the Connecticut River, partlyfrom the town and partly by purchase.
He therefore probably came to Windsor in the summer or autumn of 1639,and he is generally supposed to have come in company with Rev. EphraimHuet, who arrived at Windsor, August 17, 1639. He brought with himfive sons, all of whom were freemen, October 7, 1669, and threedaughters. His house was situated near the mouth of the Farmingtonriver on "The Island," so called because at every great freshet itbecame temporarily an island by the overflowing of the ConnecticutRiver. He died on November 25, 1658, as appears from the followingrecord: Abstract of the Disposition of the Estate of Joseph Loomis,Windsor, Connecticut Found in Original Records, 2:115-116.

Joseph Loomis had a store in Braintree, Essex, England., stocked withcloths and other goods which a draper usually dealt in. These productshe sold both wholesale and retail to tailors and consumers in general.
Braintree and near-by towns were centers of the cloth manufacture, asmany weavers from Flanders had been induced to come to England byEdward III. They had been followed by others in the latter part of thesixteenth century, who had settled in Essex, not far from Braintree,in 1570. Joseph Loomis was in prosperous circumstances and hisfather-in-law, Robert White, was a man of considerable means for thosetimes. Elder John White was a son of Robert White, and the wives ofJohn Porter and Elder William Goodwin were also daughters of RobertWhite. Joseph Loomis settled at Windsor near the junction of theFarmington river with the Connecticut, on the island.
The island was a high land and so called because it became an islandat every great freshet of the river. His house has been in theperpetual possession of the family down to the present time and isprobably the oldest one now standing in Connecticut, which is stillowned by the descendants of the pioneer builder. It was on this islandthat Capt. William Holmes and a few other men of the Plymouth colonyestablished a trading house in 1633, which was the first permanentEnglish settleent in Connecticut.
Joseph Loomis was Deputy1 in 1643, 1644 in Ferby. 1640 he had grantedhim 21 acres on the west side of the Connecticut river; he also hadseveral large tracts on the east side, partly from the town and partlyby purchase. [Research of Barbara Young/Ellen Baker, WorldConnect]

He married Mary White Messing, County Essex, England, June 30, 1614.Mary was born in Shalford, Co. Essex, England August 24, 1590. Marywas the daughter of Robert White and Bridget Allgar. Mary died August23, 1652 in Windsor, CT, at 61 years of age. Beverly Schonewolf alsoprovided the following narrative.

Three women, viz., the wives of Lieut. Filer, and of John Drake(Hannah Moore), and of Nathaniel Lomas (Elizabeth Moore), havingcrossed Connecticut River upon a necessary and neighborly account(undoubtedly to attend a woman in labor - H.R.S.), and having done thework they went for, were desiring to return home to their ownfamilies, the river being at that time partly shut up with ice, oldand new, and partly opwen. There being some pains taken aforehand tocut a way through the ice, the three women abovesaid got into a canoe,with whom also there was Nathaniel Bissell and an Indian. There waslikewise another canoe with two men in it, that went before them tohelp them, in case they should meet with any distress, which indeedquickly came upon them, for just as they were getting out of thenarrow passage between the ice, being near the middle of the river, agreater part of the upper ice came down upon them, and struck the endof the canoe and broke it to pieces so that it quickly sunk underthem. The Indian speedily got upon the ice, but Nathaniel Bissell andthe abovesaid women were left floating in the middle of the river,being cut off from all manner of human help besides what did arisefrom themselves, and the two men in the little canoe, which was sosmall that three persons durst seldom, if ever, venture into it. Theywere indeed discerned from one shore, but the dangerous ice would notadmit from either shore one to come to them. All things thuscircumstanced, the suddenness of the stroke and distress (which is aptto amaze men especially when no less than life is concerned), theextreme coldness of the weather, it being a sharp season, that personsout of the water were in danger of freezing, the inaptness of personsto help themselves, being mostly women, one big with child, and nearthe time of her travail (who also was carried away under the ice), theother as unskilled and inactive to do anything for self-preservationas almost any could be, the waters deep, that there was no hope offooting, no passage to either shore in any eye of reason, neither withtheir little canoe, by reason of the ice, nor without it, the icewithout the loss of life, or wrong to health, was counted in the dayof it a remarkable Providence. To say how it was done is difficult,yet, something of the manner of the deliverance may be mentioned. Theabovesaid Nathaniel Bissell, perceiving their danger and being activein swimming, endeavored what might be the preservation of himself andsome others; he strove to have swam to the upper ice, but the streambeing too hard, he was forced downward to the lower ice, where, byreason of the slipperyness of the ice, and disadvantage of the stream,he found it difficult getting up; at length, by the good hand ofProvidence, being gotten upon the ice, he saw one of the womenswimming down under the ice, and perceiving a hole or open place somefew rods below there, he watched and took her up as she swam along.The other two women were in the river till the two men in the littlecanoe came for their relief. At length all of them got their headsabove water, and had a little time to pause, though a long anddifficult way to any shore, but by getting their little canoe upon theice, and carrying one at a time over hazardous places they did (thoughin a long while) get all safe to the shore from whence they came.""Reference: Increase Mather, Remarkable Providences Pub. 1684, p. 24.of George Offer's edition, London.

BIBLIOGRAPHIC NOTE: The English ancestry of the Mavericks, including asummary of the first two generations of the family in New England, wasably communicated by Elizabeth French in 191 5 [NEHGR 69:146-159].

In 1 942 and 1943 William Prescott Greenlawpublished a detailed genealogy of the first six generations of theMavericks in New England, including notes on the Mavericks of SouthCarolina and Texas [NEHGR 96:232-41, 358-66, 97:56-64]. Greenlaw erredslightly in converting two of the South Huish baptisms discovered byBanks into baptisms at Huish, a distinct parish in Devon shire, somedistance from South Huish.

RootsWEB:One entry in the Ravenel list reads as follows:

"Jacques de Bourdeaux, ne a Grenoble, fils de Evremond de Bourdeaux etde Catherine Fresne. Madeleine Garillond sa femme. Madeleine, Judith,leurs filles nez a Grenoble. Anthoine, Jacques, Israel, enfans nez enCaroline."

This roughly translates that Jacques was the son of Evremond deBourdeaux and Catherine Fresne. Their daughters, Madeleine and Judith,were born in Grenoble, France. Sons Anthoine, Jacques, and Israel wereborn in Carolina.
Since these French families were small in number at the time, we canisolate each Madeleine Garillond that we find. Most Bordeauxresearchers do not realize that our ancestor Madeleine, who marriedJacques, was married 3 times. Here is another entry from the RavenelList:

"Paul Pepin, natit de Grenoble fels d Alexandre Pepin et de MadelaineGarillon."

The above entry tells us that Madelaine was also married to AlexanderPepin.Thus far, we have her surname varied as Garillond and Garillon.

Now comes two more entries that will thrill people who have no ideathat this information existed. It was not in the papers of Milton L.Jackson and therefore most do not have it.

"Pierre La Chavalieu, natif de St. Lo, en Norimantie, fils de Roll andle Chevallier et d Estes Dallain, ses opere et mere, et MadalainneGarillion, sa femmes, natit de Grenoble, fille d Israel Garillion etde Susanne Saunier, sa mere."

Madeleine Garillond/Garillon/Garillion (which one is the correctsurname???) was the daughter of Israel Garillion and Susanne Saunier.
Another entry which I failed to copy in French. I simply translatedit:
"Madeleine Saulnier, sister to Susanna Saulnier, daughter of JacquesSaunier and Judith Baudon, wife of Noe Royer, son of Sebastion Roynerand Marie Rendon."

Assuming that this is not a Susanna from a younger generation (whichis highly unlikely with the small number of French Huguenots), we canpresume that Susanne Saunier who married Israel Garillion was thedaughter of Jacques Saunier and Judith Baudon.
