Kenyon writes in American Kenyons: "He [David Kenyon] was born in Richmond, R. I., and died in Hague, N. Y. He was a miller. He owned a mill in Washington County, N. Y., and another when he moved to Warren County. The marriage of his wife's mother, Lydia Barber, to Samuel Rogers is on file in South Kingston, R. I. In Arnold's Vital Records of R. I. she is erroneously recorded as having married a Samuel Hoxsie. This mistake was carried into the Tefft Genealogy by Rev. Stocking and added to by his further confusing her with a Lydia Barber who was of a much different age. In the census of 1790 he was living in Argyle, Washington County, N. Y., with family of 1 male over 16, three males under 16, and 3 females. In the census of 1830 he was living in Hague, Warren County, N. Y., with family of 1 male 70-80, one male 20-30, one female 60-70, and 1 female 15-20. He applied for pension for service in the Revolutionary War but died before it was granted. In this deposition he stated he was born in 1756 but this date does not agree with record of town clerk of Richmond or with the deposition of his brother, Thurston. The State Record Commissioner, State House, Providence, R. I., furnishes the following abstract of his Revolutionary War service: ---REVOLUTIONARY SERVICES OF DAVID KENYON "Born Richmond, R. I., son of William, 1756; from December, 1775 to 1780, served in Capt. Simeon Clark's Co., Capt. Stephen Babcock's Co. and Capt. Richard Bailey's Co.; died 1834 (U. S. Pension Office Record, Washington, D. C.); Name appears in the Military Census of 1777 as of Richmond, aged 16-50, "able to bear arms." HERBERT O. BRIGHAM, State Record Commissioner" ---An abstract of the deposition he made before the Court of Common Pleas in Warren County, N. Y., reads as follows: "Warren County, N.

Before Calvin Barnard, Justice of Peace, 1833." Howard N. Kenyon writes in The Author's Supplent to American Kenyons: "[David Kenyon] is said to be buried in the old cemetery on the hill [in Hague, New York] beside his wife, Mary Rogers, who d. 1830 [1834], and near the grave of their daughter, Lydia Bailey, which is (in 1952) well marked." ---In the Washington and Warren County Archives: "David Kenyon was mentioned as [becoming?] a member of the Bottenkill Baptist Church in Greenwich in 1796; he was excluded then or later. In 1800, David Kynion appeared in the town of Argyle; his family included 4 men over 16, 4 under 16, and 5 women . In 1804, Benjamin Barrett sought damages from David Kenyon; a Phineas Kenyon testified for David Kenyon; and the jury found that David Kenyon owed Barrett $80.06 in damages. In 1809, David Kenyon of Greenwich, Washington County, New York, petitioned to be declared an insolvent debtor. He owed money to a large number of creditors, including William Kenyon, David Kenyon [of Johnsbury], and Potter Kenyon. His total debts amounted to about $600.00. He declared in his inventory that he owned only men's, women's, and children's clothing. The petition was granted in 1810. In 1812, Richard Waterman won a case against David Kinyon (Amasa Rowell gave evidence for Kinyon) and David Kinyon won a case against Charles [Peeke?]; Kinyon won $4.63 in damages from [Peeke?]. David Kenyon and David J. Kenyon appear in many Warren County records from 1814 to 1832. While these times coincide with David Kenyon's stated 1814 arrival in Warren County in his 1832 Revolutionary War pension application, there is no way to tell that any of these records refer to this particular David Kenyon, and not his son or any other relative. In particular, since David Kenyon was declared an insolvent debtor in 1809, it is somewhat unlikely that he would have been in a position to sign promissory notes thereafter. A Kenyon Family Bible lists that David Kenyon, Sr., died February 04, 1834, age 78; and that Polly Kenyon died August 04, 1834, age 70." ---David Kinyon was in Argyle in 1790; David Kynion was in Argyle in 1800; David Kenyon was in Greenwich in 1810; and David Kenyon was in Hague in 1820.

Phinehas D. Kinyon was a juror in Athol in 1813; Phinehas Kinyon, yeoman a juror in Athol in 1814, and Phinehas Kinyon a juror in Athol in 1816. Phineas/Phinehas Kinyon appeared in the Common Pleas papers on four occasions in 1814. Amasa M. Rowell claimed that Kinyon had promised to pay Rowell $41.80; on another occasion, Rowell claimed that Kinyon had trespassed on Rowell's land and done $90.00 damages; on a third occasion Kinyon was held in the Lake George Coffee House in Caldwell until he was delivered on bail to Holden Kenyon and John Doe; on a fourth occasion he stated that he had not undertaken to pay Amasa Rowell. In a judgment on May 10, 1815, Phinehas Kinyon was ordered to pay Amasa M. Rowell a $41.80 promissory note that Kinyon had written May 11, 1812 to Asa Bailey or bearer; with interest and court costs, he was ordered to pay a grand total of $76.36. In a case tried June 01, 1818, Reuben Smith alleged that Phinehas D. Kenyon owed him a promissory note for $1.14 dated January 25, 1817; Kenyon was ordered to pay the note, interest, and court expenses, for a total of $2.52. In a case tried July 15, 1819, Phinehas D. Kenyon confessed damages of $39.89 against Samuel Brown; the case was settled by November 1819. In a case tried July 22, 1820, Levi McIntyre and Aaron Putnam asked $25.00 damages against Phinehas D. Kenyon for sawing boards and other services at their mill. The case went to a jury trial at Kenyon's request; in September they determined that Kenyon owed damages and court costs to a total of $22.32. In a judgment on May 19, 1817, Phinehas D. Kinyon was ordered to pay Seth Baldwin a $46.44 promissory note that Kinyon had written September 13, 1815 to Holden Kinyon, due in six months with interest; Kinyon was made to pay a grand total of $52.00. In a case filed June 07,1827, Phineas D. Kenyon was indicted and found guilty of trespassing on state land on January 01, 1826 and cutting down some thousands of dollars worth of trees. On or about August 06, 1841, the Bolton Baptist Church recorded that it was informed that Phineas D. Kinyon had joined another church in Michigan, and that Mary Kinyon and Minerva Kinyon had joined other churches in Michigan and "are considered dismissed." *[Fraom Susan Kenyon - The information and data David sent recenting, regarding the Kenyon families, is based on Capt.

Sarah Kenyon. Notes for William Sr. Kenyon: ---Howard N. Kenyon writes in American Kenyons: "In the census of 1774, he [William Kenyon] was living in Richmond with a family of 3 males over 16, three males under 16, two females over 16 and 2 females under 16 years. He was appointed a deputy to the General Assembly in 1768. In May, 1758, he was admitted a freeman of Newport. He served as an ensign in the Richmond company of militia, 1761, under the command of Captain Simeon Clark (C. M. L., p. 226). In the military census of 1777, he was living in Richmond and listed as "16-50, able." He served only a short period with the colonial forces during the Revolution. One occasion was as ensign in the regiment of militia he raised for three months: Jesse Maxson, Lieutenant Colonel Commandant, chosen July, 1780. Another occasion was in the command of Colonel Dyer as ensign. He died before the pension bill was passed. His war service has often been confused with that of William Kenyon (1322) of Charlestown, the latter William being pensioned. In the statement of service of William Kenyon (1322) there is no record of his having served as an officer during the Revolution, while it does show that this latter William was on active duty as sergeant while William Kenyon (163) was serving as an ensign in 1780. The complete abstract of the service of the latter William is included in his sketch in this work. The pension application of David Kenyon (1632) states that he served almost continuously to take the place of his father, William, as well as to complete his own required time with the colonial forces. He bought and sold a considerable amount of land in Richmond and in Hopkinton. He deeded the land for the Six- Principle Baptist Church of Richmond in 1769, of which church he was a member and a deacon. He owned the original homestead of his father, David. His last deed of record in Rhode Island was to Phillip Kenyon (1622), 30. Mar. 1784. It appears he moved soon thereafter to Argyle, New York, where he was living in the census of 1790 with a family of 3 males over 16, four males under 16, and 3 females. He was deeded land in Argyle in 1795. He was a miller as was his son, David. In May, 1800, in Washington Co., N.Y., suit was filed by William Kenyon, Holden Kenyon and Anna Kenyon vs. Elizabeth Cole in settlement of the last will and testament of William Kenyon, deceased. He was buried in Argyle." ---Howard N. Kenyon writes in The Author's Supplent to American Kenyons: "William Kenyon (163) was married twice. His second wife was Anna Pendleton, dau. of Deacon John Pendleton of West Greenwich, R.I. See Pendleton Genealogy. On a deed dated 30 Mar 1784 in Richmong, R.I., from William Kenyon to Philip Kenyon, wife Anna signed. In 1792, William and Anna of Argyle convey their right to land in Hampden County, Mass., that belonged to Rev. John Pendleton, to Daniel Lamb of South Hadley, Mass. Vol. 31, pages 708-710, Land Evidences, Springfield, Mass. It seems certain that his first five children were by Hannah Niles and perhaps the sixth, Sarah or sreel. After the sixth child, the only proven child is Holden, although they, William and Anna, definitely had several children. In the copy of the Pendleton Genealogy at the L. I. Historical Society, someone has written on page 207 that William and Anna (Pendleton) Kenyon had a dau. Hannah, who m. John Parker and had a son, William Kenyon Parker of Cortland, N.Y. The names given by Mrs. John L. Kenyon of Wyoming for William's younger children were entirely different from those furnished by Mrs. Jennie F. Stewart. The family of a Harper Kenyon is said to have lived in Carroll County, Ill., before 1850. This may be the family of William's supposed son, Harper. Another account written on the copy of Pendleton Genealogy in the New York Public Library stated that the Hannah above m. a second husabnd named Banta. From the author's study of the material, it appears that William married Anna about 1775. Anna was born about 1755, as related by Mr. E. H. Pendleton in his letter to [the] author of this work. In 1800 in Washington County, N.Y., suit was filed to settle William's will and Anna, William and Holden were executors. The papers show that Elizabeth Cole had secured a judgement against William in his lifetime for a debt of $112. The action was non-suited, apparently by agreement. There is no copy of William's will referred to in the action. Mrs. Stewart was closely related to William's family and has not been found in error. She is probably correct on names of William's younger children even though no verifying evidence has been found." ---William Wright writes: "When traveling through the area of Richmond, General George Washington wrote in his daily Journal that he stopped at "Kinyon's" to rest and bait his horse. Lucy Trawlings Tootell [Driftways, pp. 93, 95] speculates that this William Kenyon might have been the General's host." ---From the Washington County records: "In 1785, there was a court case between John Ross and William Kinyon. In 1790, William Kinyon sent instructions to his lawyer "to confess Judgment" that he owed what John Ross had brought action against him for, ca. February 09, 1790. In 1790, the case of John Ross vs. Willim Kinyon came to "Intestatory Judgment for want of a plea." In April 1794 William Kinyon was appointed one of the Argyle overseers of roads. On August 17, 1795, a deed of land, for 330 acres of farm Lot 59, was made from Stephen Anthony to William Kenyon, farmer. The transfer was concluded September 05, 1795. On June 03, 1797, Elizabeth Cole initiated a writ of inquiry against William Kenyon, Holden Kenyon, and Anna Kenyon, the executors of the last will and testament of William Kenyon, deceased. (Washington County Archives, Court of Common Pleas, Writs of Inquiry, June 03, 1797, Inv. # 13924, Folder 26, Roll 1299, Blip X-0668) She stated that on August 09, 1793 William Kenyon and Stephen Anthony wrote her a promissory note in Cambridge, Washington County, New York for 34 pounds, 10 shillings, due January 10, 1794. The note was renewed several times, with interest. Cole asked the heirs to pay her on August 25, 1796. She now stated that she deserved payment, and would consider asking for damages. In 1800, Elizabeth Cole filed suit against William Kenyon, Holden Kenyon, and Anna Kenyon, the executors of the last will and testament of William Kenyon, deceased. The court ordered the plaintiff to be "nonsuited" and that the defendants pay the costs of the judgment." (Washington County Archives, Court of Common Pleas, Common Pleas Minutes (BkA), 1800, pp. 117, 130-31, Inv. # 13218, Roll 765) Since William Kenyon was still alive on September 05, 1795 to receive a deed of land from Stephen Anthony (Washington County Archives, Deed Book B [2], pp. 460-62; James MacNaughton, Jr., The Argyle Patent and its Early Settlers (1999), pp. 160-61), we must conclude that William Kenyon actually died between September 05, 1795 and August 25, 1796. ---Howard N.

Mary Browning. Notes for John Daggett: Buried in Attlebourgh Old "Hatch Burying Ground". Occupation Tanner (Vineyard)/ Innkeeper (Attlebrough). Cross Ref ID 012Dag 31/ 303G-41. Resided at Edgartown and moved to Chilmark (Tisbury) where he was a tanner. 1711: sold property in Chilmark for £300. 10 July 1711: (Attleborough Town Records quoted in33 p 94): John Devotion, for £400 money paid, conveys the said farm containing two hundred acres, more or less, to John Daggett, of Chilmark, in Dukes County, Martha's Vineyard (the first of that name who settled in this town?), with twenty five acres on 'Nine Mile Run' (except two acres, the barn and orchard on it later - om 1833 - in possession of Penticost Blankinton.) Moved to Attlebrough about 1711-1231 (Vol3, p128); sometime between 17 Oct 1711 and 24 Dec 171233 p 9. "He at once became an innkeeper in the old Garrison House, 'and soon became interested in town and church affairs. His lands being located on the road from Boston to Rhode Island, and his tavern a convenient stopping-place in route, he soon became well known, not only to the people of Attleborough, but to all travelers between Boston and Rhode Island.' "33 p9(primary source prob. S.Daggett) ****see remarks concerning the 'old Garrison House' 1720: Representative to the General Court 16 April 1722, John Daggett for £550, sells the same to Alexander Maxey, "being his homestead, containing one hundred and seventy acres in two parts on the Ten Mile River, &c. at a place called Mount Hope Hill." (still called that in 1894) (Attleborough Town Records quoted in33 p95) Family Group Sheets in LUNDELL40. See notes on wife Sarah Pease concerning problems with this marriage. There are a number of inconsistancies and problems with the records which are only partially resolved. Biography: John Daggett must had a rather remarkable impact on the community of Attleborough, through his son Ebenezer he was the father of a number of influential and important Daggett's in the history of Massachusetts and Connecticut, including a president of Yale University, Napthali Daggett, who let a contingent of students against the British when they invaded New Haven during the American Revolution. Another ancestor, bearing his ancestor's name John, wrote a historical sketch of Attleborough in 189433 Deacon John was born and raised in Edgartown before moving to Chilmark to try his hand at tanning. In 1711 he sold his land there and moved to the mainland near the homelands of his uncle with the purchase of 200 acres of land on the main highway between Providence and Boston. That purchase also must have included the 'Old Garrison House' - an Inn and tavern that had been garrisoned with troops during King Phillips War and was a familiar stopping point on that well travelled road. Deacon John sold the inn in 1722 and the building continued to stand until 1806 - 136 years from the time it was built about 1670. He died two years after retiring as it's innkeeper. He was 62. Research: No further of the line beyond the children is given in Banks, no doubt because he had left the Vineyard. The marriage date and place (Attleborough) from the Ancestral file are doubtful. It is more likely they married on Martha's Vineyard, where they grew up, not leaving until 1711 or 1712. Birthdates of the children vary by 3-4 years from Banks to the Ancestral File dates given. Banks' birthdates are generally guesses, while the Ancestral File could be more accurate as they are more specific, and could have been gotten from the Attleborough records. Attlebourogh had been formed out of a number of purchases from the Indians, the first of which was called the Rehoboth Purchase of 1644. It came out of a company formed in 1643 at Weymouth consisting of Rev. Samuel Newman and a large portion of his congregation. Successive purchases by Capt. Thomas Willett, divisions and conveyences led to the incorporation of Attleborough Oct 19, 1694, the first town meeting being held 11 May 1696. The 'Old Garrison House': This was a public house, or inn, built circa 1670, the first settlement of Attleborough, by John Woodcock on the Bay Road between Rehoboth and Boston and fortified as a garrison. This was the principle road to Boston and the 'garrison inn' was a main rendezvous - one of a chain of garrisons during King Philip's war. Woodcock was an inveterate Indian fighter and at his death in 1701 scars of seven bullet holes were counted on his body. He sold the place in 1693/4 to John Devotion, a Harvard graduate, who in turn sold it to John Daggett in 1711. It was in the Maxey family until 1780, when it was sold to Col. Israil Hatch. Hatch tore it down in 1806, replacing it a more elegant inn, the old house having stood on that spot for 136 years and entertained many famous people within it's wall. John Daggett must had a rather remarkable impact on the community of Attleborough, through his son Ebenezer he was the father of a number of influential and important Daggett's in the history of Massachusetts and Connecticut. He married Sarah PEASE - 3430, daughter of John PEASE - 3359 & Mary BROWNING - 3358, 1685. Born 1661 in Edgartown, Dukes, MA. Died After 1735. Cross Ref ID 303K-RP. Further documentation needed to establish this marriage...Banks asserts in the genealogy of Daggett that John married Sarah Pease, but in the genealogy of Pease in the same volume indicates 'probably'. Daggett's 'Sketch of Attleborough'33, drawing on Samuel Daggett, does not know John's wife's maiden name, only that her given name was Sarah. Says that one account indicates she was the daughter of Issac Norton, another account does not know. Family Group Sheets in LUNDELL40 for her parents and ancestors. Biography: A young girl of 13 or 14 when her father rebelled against the autocracy of Governor Mayhew, she evidently remained on the island, if indeed her father left at that point.

Attleboro, MA, VR Thomas Daggett and his son Mayhew's lineage is in error in the LDS Ancestral File, largely because of mistakes made by Samuel Doggett in his 1894 History of the Doggett-Daggett family.

His name originally was Bevin or Bevan. His father, also Arthur, lived in West Tisbury, Martha's Vineyard MA from at least 1677 (when he was arrested for a breach of the peace) until July 1694 when he moved to Glastonbury CT where he died on December 15, 1697. William Weaver in his History of Ancient Windham said "Family tradition has it that four brothers who wrote their names Bevens or Bevins came to this country landing first at Martha's Vineyard from whence they went to Glastonbury". James Savage in his Genealogical Dictionary of New England lists 3 Bevans or Bevens without clarifying whether they were related: 1. Arthur,Glastonbury, d 12/15/1697 leaving widow Mary and 12 children. [We have a copy of his will that supports this.] 2. Benjamin, Farmington CT, had Benjamin and John there baptized 12/1/1689. 3. Roland, Boston, before 1660 sold his estate to Daniel Stone. Holmes in the Directory of Ancestral Heads of New England Families repeats what Savage said but lists the 3 men in a way to imply they were brothers. He goes on to say that Bevans or Bevens is "From Welsh a contraction of Ap Evans or Ivan the son of John from Ap-Son and Ivan-John." Charles Banks in his History of Martha's Vineyard expands a bit. He also cites the 1677 court records involving Arthur, and then states that he was married when he first arrived. (It should be noted that Arthur"s oldest son, John, was born in 1676.) Banks continues: "The name is undoubtedly a Welsh petronymic derived from Evan with the prefix 'Ap' meaning 'son of' producing the name Ap-Evan which became Bevan." "An Arthur Bevan lived in the parish of Yate, County Gloucester, England, and 4 miles from that parish in Herton there lived a Luce family for many generations. It is significant that Arthur Bevan came to West Tisbury in 1677 as neighbor to Henry Luce." Banks in his Topographical Dictionary of 2885 English Emigrants to New England 1620-1650 lists Arthur Bevan of Yate to Glastonbury CT, Tisbury MA. The ship or date of arrival was not mentioned, but this Arthur apparently arrived by 1650. Calvin Sherman, whose mother was a Bibbens (which was a spelling change for this branch), in his write-up on the descendants of Rev. Samuel Bibbens of Weedsport NY states "The first of this family name [Beven] came to America between 1650-1670 when three brothers came from Wales to New England. All of them are said to be strong, rugged men over six feet tall. They apparently spelled the name Beven......our ancestor was Arthur who was born in Wales about 1645-1650." He does not cite his sources. Since Savage introduced Ro(w)land's name as a potential relative of Arthur, we found the following: 1. Peter Coldham in English Adventurers and Emigrants 1609-1660 abstracted from the High Court of Admiralty cites a case of 3 Feb 1650/51 concerning the Diligence of Boston in which Roland Bevan of Boston, mariner age 26, (thus born about 1624/25), had been in the company of the ship Diligence when it was captured off Cape Cod in 1645 by a French man-of-war, and the company was set ashore on an uninhabited island. 2. The New England Historical and Genealogical Register (vol II p.108) notes "February 26,1667 - Licky Austin, widow,binds son Thomas to Capt. R. Bevans for seven years in New England commencing with the arrival of the Desire at Boston" and later Capt. Roland Bevans transferred Thomas Austin to Job Lane 5 June 1667. 3. "Captain" Rowland Bevans in 1669 received a grant of 400 acres on the Pokomoke River in Somerset/Worcester Co. MD from Lord Baltimore which he named "Warwick". He married in 1670 and again in 1672, had several children and died in 1709. Descendants of Rowland of MD say he was the Boston ship captain. If Banks was right then Arthur was likely born before 1630, could have been Roland's brother and had 12 children starting in his mid 40's (possible but uncommon then). If Sherman was right on Arthur's birth (which is more likely based on the birth years of his children), then Arthur was 20-25 years younger than Roland. I speculate that Roland was the father of Arthur (and possibly of Benjamin), that they were born around 1650, that Roland lost his wife and that once the boys became old enough to support themselves he got the grant from Lord Baltimore and started a new life and a new family to support it. This does not preclude the possibility that Roland also had brothers named Arthur and Benjamin who immigrated with him. Roland's will made no mention of Arthur, but Arthur pre-deceased him by 12 years. Children of Arthur Bevin and Mary are: i. John Bevin, born November 30, 1676. ii.

Samuel Hubbard and 611. Tacy Cooper. Notes for Andrew Langworthy: From the Langworthy Family Genealogy we learn: "Little is known of the early history of Andrew Langworthy. No one can tell where he was born or when. Of Lawrence Langworthy, the pewterer, who came to Rhode Island at an early date, we know much more. His is the oldest monument in memory of a Langworthy that has been found in America. It is situated in the Willow Cemetery (now called the City Cemetery) in Newport, RI. The inscription says he was "of Ashburton, in ye county of Devenshire." He "died Oct. ye 19, 1739, in ye 47 year of his age." Some of the prominent genealogists of Rhode Island assume that Andrew was a brother of Lawrence; others that he was father. Neither hypothesis seems possible for the date of Lawrence's birth appears to be too late. The fact of both having come to Newport suggests that they were probably related and leads us to suppose that Andrew also came from Devonshire. The name is common in that county and has been for a long time. On our visit to England in 1927, Mr. Richard Langworthy of Plymouth gave us much valuable information about the family. He said there were two farms and a village in the parish of North Lue, near Holesworth in North Devon, called Langworthy, a Langworthy farm near Widecombe-in-the-Moor and a residence in Elburton with Langworthy on the gate. He also gave the names and addresses of many Langworthys and told of several who had met death in the World War. We met a few of the living. I visited the farm near Widecombe-in-the-Moor and found the surroundings very interesting. A picture taken from the farmyard shows the appearance of the house and some of the outbuildings. The farm is not occupied or owned by Langworthys at the present time and has not been for many years but the name Langworthy still persists. The author has found many references to Langworthys of past generations. A goodly number lived in Devon; some in other parts of England. Appendix IV gives some of these facts. A search of all existing Vital Records of Ashburton and the adjoining parishes of Woodland, Bickington, Islington and Widecombe has been made without revealing any Langworthy to be identified with Andrew unless it might be Andrewe Langworthie, son of Richard, who was baptized at Widecombe "30 Nov. 1610." Widecombe lies six and one-half miles north of Ashburton which is the principal town in that district. It has been an important center and still is to some extant. At one time it was a stanary town and elected two members of Parliament. It might naturally be given as the place from which one came even if one really came from a neighboring parish. The name Lawrence Langworthy is common in the records of Ashburton but no Lawrence born between 1690 and 1695, the date of Lawrence of Newport, RI, could be found. We must keep in mind the incompleteness of the records. They are mostly church records and only the Established Church kept them with regularity. If the families from which Andrew and Lawrence came were not members of that church we could not expect to find any mention of them. There is a tradition in the branch of the family to which the author belongs that Andrew was driven from the country by religious persecution and fled leaving much property behind. We are also without information as to the ship by which Andrew came to America, or when he landed. Some say he was at Newport as early as 1642 but no exact time for his arrival can be fixed. The first definite date is the record of his baptism by Rev Obadiah Holmes, "at the mill" in Newport, on Oct. 6, 1652. We do not know his occupation. He bought and sold land but not so extensively as some other pioneers of Newport. A few deeds are in existence, but the number does not indicate that he was a large landowner. The Newport records are not very complete, however, because of the treatment they received during the Revolution. (See Richman's Rhode Island of the American Commonwealth Series, page 259.) When the British surrendered Newport in 1779 loyalists seized the town records and placed them on a warship to be carried to New York. The vessel sank in Hellgate, the records were saved but had been soaked in salt water. Washington recovered them through the British general Sir Guy Carleton and they were returned to Newport, where they rested for a long period before an attempt was made to restore them. As a result the records are fragmentary, much having been permanently lost. In the few deeds to which Andrew was a party his occupation does not appear. Some have suggested that the early Langworthys may have been sailors and certainly some of them were, but there is nothing to indicate that Andrew was a sailor. There is nothing to suggest that he was a tradesman. The matter will have to remain in obscurity unless additional information comes to light. As to Andrew's character we infer that he was a moral, upright citizen, because of the associations he established. He was baptized into the membership of Dr. John Clarke's Baptist church at Newport early in its history, married the daughter of Samuel and Tacy (Cooper) Hubbard who were among the most prominent leaders of the Baptist church, and soon joined them in the membership of the recently formed Seventh Day Baptist Church of which they, and Rachel, Andrew's wife, were charter members. The Hubbards were among the sturdiest religious leaders of the colony. We have a glimpse of Rachel's household activities in one of her father's letters. On Feb. 26, 1626/7 he wrote to his nephew, John Brandish of Boston, "....My wife and daughter Langworthy desired me to write about flax, yet if you bring some 20 pound if at a pound of flax for a pound of wool; its so at Stonington; if bring Indian corn its now 4 pound of wool for a bushel & I think it will be more." Rachel's character seems to have made an impression on the leaders of other communities. At the close of a long letter to Samuel Hubbard from "the Church of Christ at Providence" dated 18th 2 mo 1670 these words are found, Commend us unto your wife and daughter Rachel. Subscribed by the appointment of the church, Thomas Olney, senior. The principal events in the lives of Andrew and Rachel which have come down to us are as follows: Andrew Langworthy probably born in Devonshire, England. He may have been Andrewe Langworthie, son of Richard, who was baptized at Widecombe "30 Nov. 1610." See Widecombe Vital Records, Appendix V. 6 Oct 1652 - Baptized "at the mill" by Rev. Obadiah Holmes. 1655 - Freeman of Newport 10 Mar 1656 - One of 98 to begin negotiations for the purchase of Canonicut (Jamestown Island). His name was spelled Langworth. 19 May 1657 - Freeman of "this Collony." 3 Nov 1658 - Married Rachel Hubbard 29 Jun 1660 - One of 76 to purchase land in Misquomicutt (or the Narragansett country) from the Indian chieftain, Sosoa. 7 May 1666 - Member of "Grand Jurry at Newport. Genrl Court of Tryalls." 1666 - One of 98 persons to sign for the purchase of Canonicut. Feb 1676 - Joined Seventh Day Baptist Church in Newport. 1680 - Taxed 4s. 4d. 28 Mar 1686 - Samuel Hubbard writes that his three sons-in-law were living. 4 Jul 1690 - Deeds 50 acres "in Misquomicutt allias Westerly in ye Collony of Rhode Island & providence plantations, which he had purchased of Hugh Moshier, to heirs of William Reap." Deed is found in Appendix VI. Between 1690 and 1692 seems to have been the time of his death. This is fixed by the date of above deed and the fact that his name is omitted from the church list dated 1692. Craig E. Hubbard Children of Andrew Langworthy and Rachel Hubbard are: i.

William Batt Carpenter and 647. Abigail Bennett. Notes for John Titus: [Brøderbund WFT Vol. 3, Ed. 1, Tree #6004, Date of Import: May 30, 1998] John Titus was born in England 1627. He was one of the original purchasers of Rehoboth, north Purchase, now Attleboro, Massachusetts, and was an active citizen in church and state. He and his son John, Jr., (II) were engaged in the King Philip War (1675), this renowned chieftain having resided but a few miles away. The following is an account of that war taken from The Pioneer Spirit, Alvin M. Josephy, Jr., Peter Lyon, and Francis Russell. By the end of the Seventeen Century, the westward push of the New England settlements had gained such momentum that clash with the Indian tribes became almost inevitable. The resultant King Philip's War cast the mold for bloody conflict that was to be repeated endlessly over the next two centuries. Petty tribal rivalries had divided New England's Indian into piecemeal victims of the settlers. Not until Massasoit's son--called by the English King Philip--did a chief appear who had the ability to build an intertribal alliance against the encroaching whites. Philip's war was the final doomed gesture of the New England redmen. Massasoit, though always faithful to his forty year peace treaty with the Pilgrims, had banned any missionaries from his Wampanoags. Philip added hostility and resentment to his father's reserve. He had been warned that even though he might harm the colonists, they would in the end destroy him. Philip believed that might be true, but only if he failed to strike in time. So with patience, adroitness, and cunning he plotted a federation of tribes that reached from Long Island Sound to the Penobscot. For four years he made his preparations and mapped his strategy. The trial and execution of three of Philip's braves in 1675 by the Plymouth magistrates was the excuse he needed, and in mid-June war broke out. From Springfield to within sight of Boston towns went up in flames. Before the militia could effectively counterattack, the western garrisons were beseiged and in some cases annihilated. Terror reinforced all the colonists' earlier prejudices, and John Eliot's Indians lived in danger of their lives. Sometimes they were murdered out of hand, at the least seized and locked up; yet in spite of ill will, suspicion, and harsh treatment which was to grow harsher, the great majority of them remained loyal. And when some of the more practical-minded colonists decided to raise a scouting party from among them, sixty volunteered. The Praying Indians, resuming their forest ways, killed over 400 of the enemy. Before that balance was finally turned; however, thirteen towns had been leveled, perhaps a thousand colonists had lost their lives, and the public debt had risen so high that in places like Plymouth it was greater than the colony's whole property valuation. On the other side, 3,000 Indians were killed. The Narragansetts were ambushed and annihilated by a combined Massachusetts-Connecticut force in the Great Swamp Fight. The war lasted until the middle of the following year. Philip was finally surrounded and brought to bay at Mount Hope Neck by a force under Duxbury's Benjamin Church. A Praying Indian named Alderman fired the shot that finished him. Church's men found him lying in the mud--"a doleful, great, naked, dirty beast"--and they cut off his head and brought it to Plymouth, where it stood impaled on the Fort Hill tower for the next quarter of a century, its eye sockets a nest for wrens each spring. Over Eliot's distressed protests the war captives, including Philip's wife and young children, were sold into slavery in the West Indies. With King Philip, there passed the last and greatest leader of the New England tribes. He understood, as his father never had, that the Indian forest way and the English settlement way could not endure together. The brave, relentless Philip preferred to confront rather than retreat from the wave that overwhelmed him. When he was cornered in the Rhode Island swamp, he sent his companions away and died alone.

Thomas Doggett, born April 01, 1630 in Watertown,Middlesex, MA; died August 18, 1692 in Edgartown,Dukes, Massachusetts. He was the son of 656. John Doggett and 657. Hepzibah Brotherton. He married 329. Hannah Mayhew September 23, 1657 in Edgartown, Dukes, Mass.. 329. Hannah Mayhew, born June 15, 1635; died February 07, 1722/23. She was the daughter of 658. Thomas Mayhew and 659. Jane Gallion. Notes for Thomas Doggett: Born in Massachusetts or in route from England. October, 1677: purchased 50 acres of land at Attleborough Falls from his brother, of that place. (see brother John's notes) Married the Governor's 'favorite daughter'. "Henceforth his position was assured and throughout his life he was an official of one sort or another in the Mayhew government until his death."31 (Vol.3, p127) //There is no distinct biography of Thomas or his wife in Banks, in that his life is intertwined with the history of Martha's Vineyard until his death in 1692. He held a number of high positions and was clearly one of the leading men of the government before and after the death of the Governor. Apparently he was the Governor's 'right-hand-man' and an important figure both in the consolidation of the Governor's power in the 1660's and the transition of power to the Governor's grandson, Matthew, following his death in 1682.// Deathdate in Banks31: between 13 April and 15 Sept 1691 (no will) (Vol 3, p127) Family Group Sheets in LUNDELL 40 for Thomas and his ancestors. Supplement to John/Doggett/Daggett of Martha's Vineyard gives more children to this marriage: Mercy (b 1678), Hannah (13 Sept 1685), Jeremiah (17 Oct 1687), Thomas (19 Mar 1690). Mercy is recorded as a child in LUNDELL40. Biography: Not really a lot is known about Thomas Daggett, even though he was the assistant deputy to his father in law in the governorship of Martha's Vineyard. For what little is known about him it would be important to see the biography of his wife, Hannah. Thomas evidently was born either in England or came to America in his mother's womb, for he is recorded as being born the same year that his father's family came to this country with Governor Wintrop. He evidently had strong connections with Reheboth and Attleborough falls, for he's recorded as buying 50 acres there from his brother John. Thomas' son John eventually left Martha's Vineyard to live in Attleborough Falls in 1712, were evidently a strong contingent of the extended family had settled. Notes for Hannah Mayhew: Biography containing just about all that is known of her life (without the genealogical data) written by Dr. Banks in the Dukes County Intelligencer in 1962.21 Referrred to by Banks as the Governor's 'favorite' daughter. She, along with her husband, Thomas Daggett, were leading citizens in the local society and government. (See Husband's notes) Family Group Sheets in LUNDELL40 Biography: Hannah was evidently quite a woman. When she turned 18 in 1653 she was the only woman on the list of lots of Martha's Vineyard divided up by the proprietors. As Dr. Charles Banks observed: "About four years later she surrendered her name to Thomas Daggett, but from subsequent views which we can obtain of her it was about the only thing she surrendered. It could be fairly stated that Thomas Daggett was merely the husband of Hannah Mayhew. She was the Governor's favorite daughter and she knew it." 21 She may have been a very early feminist. Over succeeding years 10 little Daggetts came along, but Hannah wasn't rocking the cradle all the time. Twenty real estate transactions are of record under her name and she did the business herself. This was unusual at the time and it appears to have caused some strain in a marriage where the woman refused to be known merely as the 'wife of Thomas Daggett.' Towards the end of the old Governor's life the son-in-law evidently attempted to exercise some control over his wife's business, forcing the Governor in 1679 to extract a "promise" from Thomas not to do so, referring to that promise in his will: "My son Daggett hath given a note under his hand not to meddle with aught (of Hannah's property)" That she was the 'Deputy Governor" of Martha's Vineyard it seems that she was bound and determined to maintain the control that her father had placed and maintained on the little island. Following about 1660 the Governor had increased resistance to his little autocracy, and his daughter. She evidently carried on the good fight for him, for in 1675, in a letter to the Governor of New York explaining some of the problems the people were having with Governor Mayhew Simon Athearn wrote "Thomas Dagget's wife, Mr. Mayhew's daughter (which woman the people of Martins Vineyard very generally call the deputy governor...". This was towards the end of the governor's life, he was still well in hand of the government of the island, but as Banks writes, "All this while Thomas Daggett had been holding the office of assistant to the Governor, and theoretically 'rulling the land' but no one can have any illusions as to the real 'power behind the throne'". When the governor finally died and his grandson Matthew took over the duties of governor, Hannah's contributions to the life of Martha's Vineyard drop out of the record books. It's possible that she prudently stepped aside for a nephew who didn't want her meddling, or she continued to 'rule' behind the scenes. We'll never know. She remained a widow for 10 years after her husband's death in 1691 whereupon, at the age of 70, she remarried to Samuel Smith of Edgertown and lived another 10 years.

Emmigrating to Salem at the age of 27, he married into the Weston family, which was embroiled with the local authorities over theology. His father in law was banished and later died in prison for his heretical teachings. His mother in law went mad and his wife, faced with arrest, was forced to recant shortly before she died. In 1644, the year his father-in-law was banished, his mother and brother died and John Pease sold his property in Salem and 'fled' to Martha's Vineyard, becoming one of the original settlers. There he remarried and peaceably raised a second family until he joined in the rebellion against the autocratic rule of Governor Mayhew in 1673. In the wake of reprisals by the Governor following his reestablishment of authority, John Pease left Martha's Vineyard for the mainland, probably for Portsmouth, NH, although it is not known for sure when or where he die Children of John Pease and Mary Browning are: i.

Elizabeth After. Notes for Roland Bevin: Bibbins/Bevans Heritage: Since Savage introduced Ro(w)land's name as a potential relative of Arthur, we found the following: 1. Peter Coldham in English Adventurers and Emigrants 1609-1660 abstracted from the High Court of Admiralty cites a case of 3 Feb 1650/51 concerning the Diligence of Boston in which Roland Bevan of Boston, mariner age 26, (thus born about 1624/25), had been in the company of the ship Diligence when it was captured off Cape Cod in 1645 by a French man-of-war, and the company was set ashore on an uninhabited island. 2. The New England Historical and Genealogical Register (vol II p.108) notes "February 26,1667 - Licky Austin, widow,binds son Thomas to Capt. R. Bevans for seven years in New England commencing with the arrival of the Desire at Boston" and later Capt. Roland Bevans transferred Thomas Austin to Job Lane 5 June 1667. 3. "Captain" Rowland Bevans in 1669 received a grant of 400 acres on the Pokomoke River in Somerset/Worcester Co. MD from Lord Baltimore which he named "Warwick". He married in 1670 and again in 1672, had several children and died in 1709. Descendants of Rowland of MD say he was the Boston ship captain. If Banks was right then Arthur was likely born before 1630, could have been Roland's brother and had 12 children starting in his mid 40's (possible but uncommon then). If Sherman was right on Arthur's birth (which is more likely based on the birth years of his children), then Arthur was 20-25 years younger than Roland. I speculate that Roland was the father of Arthur (and possibly of Benjamin), that they were born around 1650, that Roland lost his wife and that once the boys became old enough to support themselves he got the grant from Lord Baltimore and started a new life and a new family to support it. This does not preclude the possibility that Roland also had brothers named Arthur and Benjamin who immigrated with him. Roland's will made no mention of Arthur, but Arthur pre-deceased him by 12 years.[:ITAL] Child of Roland Bevin is: 166 i. Arthur E. Bevin, born 1653 in Glastonbury, Ct.; died December 15, 1697 in Glastonbury, Ct; married Mary 1675 in Martha's Vinyard, Ma.. 384. Daniel Stewart, born Abt. 1636 in Scotland; died Bef. August 04, 1703 in Edgartown, Dukes, MA. He was the son of 768. James Stewart. He married 385. Mary Bet. 1661 - 1663 in Ma.. 385. Mary, born 1640 in Barnstable, Ma.; died Aft. August 04, 1703. Notes for Daniel Stewart: There are two interesting theories about the origins of Daniel Stewart. Theory 1 states that Daniel arrived in the United States in about 1651 as a slave. Theory 2 states that Daniel was a descendant of an early immigrant named James Steward, who may have arrived on the ship that arrived next after the Mayflower. Theory 1 has been mostly discredited, but I list it here for historical purposes of proving our ancestry. From the Stewart Clan Magazine: Daniel Stewart, "a Scotchman", was admitted an inhabitant of Barnstable, Mass., Oct. 3 1662, with 18 others who were either married or 24 years of age. There is nothing to indicate that he had relatives in this country. He was living in Eastham June 12, 1671, when he sold all his land there, on the east side of Bass River, to John Doane, Jr. His wife Mary acknowledged the deed. On Mar. 4, 1673-4, Daniel, then living at Barnstable, sued Nathaniel Fitzrandall for assault and was awarded 20 shillings. Oct. 9, 1674, he had some controversy with Richard Handy of Sandwich over the ownership of a marsh. In 1684 he was a resident landowner in Tisbury, Martha's Vineyard, and soon after located in Edgartown, where he died in 1703. His will, dated Jan. 6, 1701-2, was proved Aug. 4, 1703, and named wife Mary; sons James, John and Charles; daughters Dorcas Bailey and Sarah Harlock. In this will he gave the homestead to his wife Mary; two heifers to his daughter Sarah; all other lands to his sons John and Charles; a shilling to his son James, and a shilling to his daughter Dorcas. Daughter Sarah died childless, and her will was probated in 1745, listing her siblings the same as above. From "The History of Martha's Vineyard" by C.E. Banks: Daniel Stewart, a Scotchman, perhaps one of those brought hither after the Scotch rebellion, is first found at Barnstable, Mass. (1662), where he was admitted an inhabitant. Thence he removed to Eastham before 1671 and came to the Vineyard before 1680, settling at T., where he remained about four years. Then he removed to E. remaining there until his death in 1703. His will 6 Jan. 1701-2 was probated 4 Aug. 1703 with Benjamin Smith as executor. He married Mary ____ of whom nothing definite is known except that she was living at the date of his will. No records of this family exist and the following named children appear in his will: James, b. (1664) Dorcas, b. (1666), m. 1. Philip Smith; 2. Philip Bailey Sarah, b. (1668); m. Thomas Harlock John, b. (1670) Charles, b. (1672) ***THEORY 1: Deb's Note: A birthdate of about 1636 has been proposed for Daniel, although I do not know of the original source for that date. If this is true and if Daniel was indeed brought to America after the Scotch Rebellion, then he would have been transported in or after 1651, at the age of 15, as a white slave. This was after the disastrous Battle of Worcester, where Cromwell's troups defeated the Scottish attempt to reinstate the crown of Charles II, who was himself a Stuart. Historians estimate that about ten thousand Scots were taken prisoner, and some of those were transported into slavery while many others were eventually set free in their homeland. One source (Savage) states that the majority of these transportees died of scurvy or "a broken heart", and not one in ten left progeny. Daniel would have been lucky to survive, live out his slavery and become a member of society. The following information may or may not pertain to the emigration of our ancestor Daniel Stewart: [Broderbund Family Archive #354, Ed. 1, Passenger and Immigration Lists Index, Date of Import: Dec 29, 1999, Internal Ref. #1.354.1.96796.13] Individual: Daniel Stewart; Place: Boston; Year: 1651 Primary Individual: Stewart, Daniel; Source Code: 9760 Source Name: WHYTE, DONALD.

(The John & Sarah was the prison ship that transported 260 slaves to Boston after the disastrous Battle of Worcester.) ***THEORY 2: Per the Stewart Clan Magazine, p. C303 (March 1938), I102, I113-5: "Arthur G. Burt, 435 Washington Street, Whitman, Mass., has made, we believe, a wonderful discovery, which may throw a gleam of light on several lines of New England Stewarts. It apparently refers to James Steward, who came from England to Plymouth in 1621 in the Fortune, the next ship after the Mayflower, and of whom little is known. In an old book Mr. Burt found two sheets of paper of considerable age. Mr. Burt is descended from Daniel Stewart of Barnstable and Edgartown, through Daniel's son John and two of John's children -- Daniel, who married Jane Vincent, and Deborah, who married Nathaniel Vincent. Nathaniel Vincent was a son of Thomas and Sarah (Post) Vincent, while Jane was a granddaughter of Thomas, being a daughter of Thomas Jr. and Sarah (Martyn) Vincent." Names have been translated from their spelling in the sheets, as follows: Vinson = Vincent; Hammat = Hammond; Chuatt = Stewart; and Degory = Zachary. I have denoted added notes in the Stewart Magazine (non-original text) with brackets [ ]. The text of the first sheet therefore reads: "John Vincent's children five. John married the Hammond girl. One married James Stewart's daughter. They all came from London. [Therefore, James Stewart had a wife and a daughter, and possibly other children as well.] Thomas Vincent went to Plymouth when his brother John was sick and he and James went to Norwich, but Thomas came back to Edgartown with little Daniel who used to dig clams with his boy and the Indians. [Was Norwich in Connecticut? Was Thomas Vincent the husband of James Stewart's daughter? Why didn't the old man come back from Norwich when Thomas Vincent and little Daniel Stewart did? Had he died? Did he leave a widow? Did she remarry? Would she willingly part with little Daniel? Was he not her son? Was he for sure the Daniel Stewart who married Mary Vincent in 1648?] William Vincent from Salem was Aunt Mary's uncle. The text of the second sheet, perhaps in a different handwriting, reads: "Daniel Stewart married Mary Vincent, 1648. Boy John married Mary Foster's daughter Margaret. [This is getting close to home. Our Daniel Stewart had a son John Stewart who married a Margaret. Mrs. Leavitt didn't find Mary Foster's marriage in the Salem town records; it probably antedated the extant records.] Mary's grandmother was James' daughter. [This may indicate that Mary Vincent was the granddaughter of Thomas Vincent, above, and his wife James' daughter.] He came in the ship after the Mayflower. [This would precisely describe the James Steward who we know arrived on the ship Fortune on Nov. 11, 1621.] The others came after. Zachary's boy went to Plymouth may... They say the black book is still at Nantucket where they hid it. Deacon Mantur's boy had a dream about it." Whew. This is interesting stuff! There is no official record of James Steward of the ship Fortune after 1624. It is possible that he returned to Europe, and later came back to New England between 1641-1650. (There was indeed a Deacon Manter; Deacon Benjamin Manter of West Tisbury, Massachusetts, d. 1750. See http://www.vineyard.net/vineyard/history/manter.htm .) Note that if Theory 2 is true, AND our Daniel Stewart was indeed married in 1648, that pushes his birth date back to about 1627. Again, I have been unable to find the original source of the estimated birth date of 1630-1636. Piecing this theory together in a descendant outline format: James Steward of the Fortune, married ??? Daniel Stewart b. abt 1627-1636 married Mary Vincent I, below daughter Stewart m. Thomas Vincent John Stewart m. Margaret Foster, dau. of Mary ( ) Foster And: John Vincent I m. ??? John Vincent II m. ( ) Hammond Thomas Vincent m. daughter Stewart (above) ( ) Vincent m. ??? Mary Vincent I m. Daniel Stewart (above) Here is further information from the Stewart Clan Magazine: "Mark Newbie obtained a bank charter from the West Jersey assembly (in 1682) using farthings and half- pence which he had purchased in Ireland," noted _The Genealogist's Post_ for December, 1965. "These coins had been minted in Ireland some 40 years earlier to commemorate the massacre of the Protestants by the Catholics during a religious war. With these coins as currency the bank did a thriving business, but at Newbie's death the coins were recalled." The historic event which those tokens commemorated was the uprising of the Irish in 1641 to drive out the Scotch who had been planted in Ulster in the time of King James I of England on lands which had been despoiled of the ancient inhabitants by the minions of Queen Elizabeth. A few of the Scotch settlers in Ulster had married Irish girls, and many others treated the natives with kindness and fairness, because there was not as much antipathy between the two nations as there was between the Irish and the English. So, when the "great rebellion" of 1641 was brewing, some of the conspirators tried to protect their innocent friends without tipping off the impending carnage. Among the Scotchmen who are thought to have escaped to the American colonies was James Stewart. A letter written in 1911 by Dr Charles E. Banks of Portland, Maine, to George Sawin Stewart quoted from a letter written in 1869 by a daughter of Naomi Crowell, who was born in 1766, a daughter of Joseph-2 Stewart (Hugh-1) of Chatham, Mass. [B213] -- thus: "This lady states that the [Martha's] Vineyard Stuards [see Daniel Stewart, A10 and 61] were relations of her mother's; i.e., the Cape [Cod] Stuards. She says they were Scotch and fled 'in the time of the rebellion'; that they landed 'at Stewart's Landing on the Cape', wherever that may have been, and thinks the first one was James'." The lady may have had something there. If the rebellion referred to was the Irish uprising of 1641 -- and the duke of Monmouth's rebellion against his uncle, King James II of England, in 1685 would have been away too late to catch the Cape Cod Stewarts who were here several years prior to 1670 -- it may mean that Daniel Stewart and Hugh Stewart, and probably James Stewart, a sea captain, of Weymouth, Mass., were sons of one James Stewart. He apparently had resources enough to finance a shipload of emigrees, and they came at a time when many colonists were giving up and going back. That James Stewart, if the lady's mother (Naomi Crowell, born in 1766) was right in thinking his name was James, could hardly have been the James Stewart who came to Plymouth in the ship Fortune in 1621. There is a gap of 20 years between 1621 and 1641. But we must remember that there was much going back and forth and moving about in that great fermentation. "A James Stuart was buried in Boston,", the letter of 1869 went on, "who was an uncle of my grandmother and brother of Elsa (Alice) Stuart who married (May 2, 1756) Sylvanus Daggett", and became the mother of Michael Daggett (Dagwood). That James Stuard (Joseph 2, Hugh 1) married July 30 1755, Sarah Bradstreet, in Boston. The lady further deponed that Elijah Stuart (Daniel, John, Daniel) of Edgartown, was a "cousin" of Alice Stuart and her grandmother Lydia -- "cousin" in a generic sense. That remark led Dr. Banks to observe that "The recurrence of the names Hugh, 1751, and Michael, 1764, in the Edgartown family also makes it a stronger case for relationship between the two families. Consequently I feel reasonably sure that Hugh of Chatham and Daniel of Barnstable and Martha's Vineyard were brothers." Dr. Banks went on a dissertation on the later aspects of the case, figuring that Daniel was born about 1630, but he had nothing more about the probable James Stewart. According to his estimate, Daniel would have been 11 years old when the family fled "in the time of the rebellion," if that time were 1641. This Daniel Stewart was the "little Daniel who used to dig clams with his (Thomas Vincent's) boys and the Indians" on Martha's Vineyard island." And, further: Stewart Clan Magazine Microfilm # 0908972 Vol. IX, no. 7, Jan 1931: Quoted from Charles E. Banks. "The Vineyard Stewards are relations of the Cape Stewards. They were Scotch and fled in the time of the Rebellion, they landed in Stewart's Landing, wherever that may be, and thinks the first one was James. James Stewart was buried in Boston. "The rebellion here referred to may have been the uprising of the Irish in 1641 which drove many English and Scottish settlers out of Ireland. The rebellion was finally crushed in 1649 by Oliver Cromwell. It is likely that a Stewart family including Alexander, Daniel and Hugh arrived in New England some time around 1650 and the father may have been James." ***FURTHER INFORMATION: From "The History of Martha's Vineyard", C.E. Banks: CHILMARK. This name is first given to the Manor of Tisbury in a deed from Thomas Mayhew to Daniel STEWART, March 26, 1680, where Mayhew calls himself "of the town of Chilmark in the Manor of Tysbery." It is mentioned in another deed under date of April 1, 1693, and appears on Simon Athearn's map of 1694. The reason for the bestowal of this name is found in its relation to the Mayhew family at the time Thomas Mayhew lived in the adjoining parish of Tisbury. It was undoubtedly found that confusion arose from the use of the names of Tisbury Manor and Tisbury, a condition which Mayhew remedied by reviving the old familiar title of one of the ancestral homes of his family.

He married 387. Mary Stewart March 18, 1671/72 in Salem, Ma.. 387. Mary Stewart, born Abt. 1655 in Salem, Ma.; died 1690 in Salem, Ma.. Notes for John Foster: Per the Stewart Clan Magazine, p. J50-1: John Foster, the younger, of Salem and Mary Stuard were married Mar. 18, 1672, in Salem. John Foster married (2) in 1692 Mary (Howes) Pomeroy. He was a blacksmith; lived in Salem; moderator; representative to the general court; had 13 children. Father conveyed his land to him in 1674. 1655 JOHN was baptized in the First Church of Salem, Ma on June 3rd. 1672/73 He married MARY STUARD. She may have been a sister to Sarah Stuard who married Samuel Foster. At this time he lived on land given to him by his father in Salem. 1678/88 Town of Salem leased to JOHN FOSTER and his brother Samuel 44 acres for 99 years. In 1732 his son JOHN of Attleboro along with his brother-in-law Joseph Very purchased 1/11th of land and 1/16th of earlier lease for 63lbs. 1681 Must have been a member of the First Church in Salem as he had a son baptized there this year. 1688 He conveyed all of his interest in his father's estate to his father's widow and his brothers and sisters. 1690 MARY died 1692 JOHN married his second wife Mary Cowes widow of John Pomeroy. 1704 At this time he had lived in North Fields area of Salem for last 40 years. 1707 His second wife Mary was received into the First Church of Salem on June 1st, by a church letter from Chebaco, or Ipswich. JOHN made his last will on January 30th in Salem. 1714 JOHN died on June 14th. His will was proved on July 1st and amounted to 336 lbs. He must have been a farmer as his inventory included 6 cows,2 yearlings, 20 sheep,horses and fowl. 1742 His son JOHN FOSTER of Attleboro was appointed to settle the estate which is an indication that his second wife had recently died. He was a blacksmith by trade and was an active ,energetic and influential man. He served as moderator at the Salem town meetings and as justice of the peace. For a number of years JOHN represented the town at the General Court of Massachusetts,in Boston. (1723,1725,1731,1732,1738 and 1739) Notes for Mary Stewart: Mary's ancestry and place in the Stewart family is in question. She may have been a descendant of James Steward of the ship Fortune, who arrived in New England in 1621. If so, then she may be the sister of Daniel Stewart.

Catharine Craighead September 26, 1693 in Strabane, Ireland. 399. Catharine Craighead, born 1672 in Londonderry, Ireland; died 1754 in Chilmark, Ma.. She was the daughter of 798. Robert Criaghead and 799. Agnes Hart. Notes for William Homes: William Homes was born, probably in Ireland, in the year 1663. He first came to America in the year 1686, When he was twenty-two years old. There is no known record of the fact whether he came from Ireland at that time, or from Scotland, though the former has usually been assumed. It was about the period of his first coming over that both Scotch and Scotch-Irish commenced emigrating to America to excape the persucution of the Stuarts and the Prelacy. After his arrival he was engaged as a teacher at Chilmark, and the people continued to emplay him as a teacher to their children for several years, when he returned again to Ireland in July, 1691. He presented "satisfactory testimonials" to the Presbytery of Laggan, and after preaching a "tryall" sermon was given a temporarary license to supply vacant pulpits. He was ordained Dec 21, 1692 at Strabane, a borough town twelve miles south-west of Londonderry, Ireland, by the Presbr\ytery of Laggan, and was settled as pastor of the Scotch Presbyterian parish there. He was often chosen moderator of the Provincial Synod. While there he married, Sept 26, 1693, Katharine, daughter of Rev. Robert Craighead, who had been minister of Donoughmore in Donegal, and who was translated to Derry in the beginning of the year 1690, and continued there until his death, Aug 22, 1711. In the adjoining parish of Urney another William Holmes was ordained in 1696, and this led to a confusion of identity. To distinguish him from his namesake, our subject was called "William Homes, the Meek" (Our William Homes has been credited with graduation from Edinborgh University in 1693, but the author is of the opinion that the degree belongs to the other William Homes. It is unlikely that our subject was a student at Edinburgh after he had been ordained as a minister.) In 1714 he came again to America and revisited Martha's Vineyard, at the age of 50. (When Judge Sewall visited the island in April, 1714, he notes in his diary that "Mr. Homes who boards at Mr. Allen's to teach school" dined with him.") The people of Chilmark remembered the young man who had previously taught amoong them, with satisfaction, and invited him to become their pastor. There remains no record in possession of the church or town to give us any details of his agreement with the people. In his diary he wrote: On the fifteenth of 7ber 1715 I was installed in the pastorate office in the congregation of Chilmark there were then but two members of that church that wer men, viz Nathan Skiffe, and Benjamin Mayhew that day Mr Experience Mayhew who was formerly a member of the Indian church upon this Island having obtained his dismission from thence was jouyned to this church. On the second of October Mr Nathan Bassset & Mr Ja:Allen were added to the church here and were both baptized that day. Notes for Catharine Craighead: Burial: Abel's Hill Cem, Chilmark, Dukes, MA A slate stone in the graveyard of Chilmark marks her burial place. It bears the following inscription: "Here lies buried the body of Katherine Homes the very pious relict of the Reverend William Homes late deceased who departed this life to a better. April ye 10th 1754 in ye 82nd year of her age" Children of William Homes and Catharine Craighead are: i. Robert Homes, born July 23, 1694. ii. Margaret Homes, born February 28, 1695/96. iii. William Homes, born March 24, 1696/97. 199 iv. Catherine Homes, born March 20, 1698/99 in Strabane, Ireland; married Samuel Smith May 30, 1721 in Chilmark, Ma.. v. John Homes, born July 30, 1700. vi.

Magery Homes, born January 23, 1709/10. 400. John Kenyon, born April 26, 1655 in Oldham, England; died 1732 in Westerly, RI. He was the son of 800. James Kenyon and 801. Ester Smith. He married 401. Anna Mumford Abt. 1680 in Oldham, England. 401. Anna Mumford, born Abt. 1657 in Oldham, England; died Bef. 1712. She was the daughter of 802. Thomas Mumford and 803. Sarah Sherman. Notes for John Kenyon: The following from "American Kenyons" by Captain Howard N. Kenyon, published 1935: p. 53 John Kenyon appears to have come to the colony several months before his family. He testified that he started living on the land of Mr. Killum in 1683. Early in 1684 he had a daugbter baptized in Oldham Parish Church, Oldham, England. Sarah was the last recorded birth of this branch of the Kenyons in England. A family record states that the son, James Kenyon, was born 1684-5. This would indicate that his family came to the colony early in 1684. On 6 Sept. 1687, he was taxed 8s-11d in Kingstown, R. I. On 16 Oct. 1712, he deeded his son, John Kenyon, 170 acres of land in South Kingstown bounded on one side by land of Peleg Mumford, brother-in-law of John Kenyon. No wife signed this or any other deed of John Keoyon. This is his first recorded land deed. The record of how be acquired this land may have been destroyed in North Kingstown. He first acquired land in Westerly by deed from Joseph Brown, 13 Dec. 1709; from Jabez Tucker, 11 Aug. 1711; and from Francis Robinson, 21 Aug. 1711. On 26 Nov. 1716, he deeded land to his son-in-law, John Webster, in Westerly. In August, 1719, in Westerly, he deeded land to his son James. On 8 Aug. 1719, he deeded land in Westerly to his son Samuel. On 10 July 1721, he deeded land in Westerly to his son Enoch. On 3 Feb. 1724, he deeded land in Westerly to his son Jonathan. On 6 Feb. 1724, he deeded land in Westerly to his son David. On 30 Dec. 1724, he again deeded land in Westerly to his son Jonathan. Mrs. John L. Kenyon of Wyoming, R. I., thought John Kenyon settled on the Wells place about three miles South of Wyoming, then (1905) "Clear Water Trout Farm," owned by the American Fish Company. She also thought he was buried on this place. John Larkin Kenyon surveyed this property and found in land records that it was owned by a John Kenyon at a date which would indicate John Kenyon. The land dealings and property of this John were quite extensive for his day and time. In 1727, be was on a list of the freemen of Westerly Town as "Old Mr. John Kenyon." In 1727, his sons contributed money for building the Episcopal Church of Westerly of whicb he was probably a member. However, this church was comparatively short-lived and most of the Kenyons joined the local Baptist churches. On 8 Aug. 1717, calling himself aged 70 or thereabouts, he testified that in the year 1683 or thereabouts, he went to live on the farm that Stephen Northup of North Kingstown now (1935) lives on and paid rental to Major Smith in behalf of a Mr. Killum of Boston and lived there for eight years and Stephen Northup went in when he left it. His will was proved 12 June 1732 in Westerly. His son Jonathan was named executor. Sons John, James, Enoch, Joseph and David mentioned in will. No mention of wife or any other relatives of family. His inventory of personal property was listed at 180ú 8s. Children of John Kenyon and Anna Mumford are: i. John Kenyon, born December 26, 1682 in Oldham, England; died 1735 in Westerly, RI; married Elizabeth Remington July 1704 in South Kingston, RI; born Abt. 1685 in South Kingston, RI; died Abt. 1745 in RI. Notes for John Kenyon: He was admitted a freeman in 1712. He was deeded land by his father in South Kingstown in 1712, 170 acres. In 1726 he bought the land of John Handson in South Kingstown. In 1731, he sold the land bought of John Handson to Charles Dickinson. He deeded land in Westerly to his son, George, in 1734. In Westerly in 1732, he deeded land to his son, John. In 1734, in Westerly he deeded land to his son Sylvester. When his daughter, Elizabeth, married in 1735, it was entered on the town clerk's record that she was the daughter of "John, deceased." He left no record of administration. From the records on file in Richmond, RI, it appears that the youngest son, Benedict, was born in 1735, which leaves this year as the date of the father's death, unless Benedict was actually born somewhat earlier in the year and the father died in the latter part of 1734. His wife, Elizabeth, died on or before 1747, when her son, Thomas, was appointed administrator of her estate. The orphaned minors lived with their reHe was ad Mrs. Edward (Susan Card) BARBER [grand-daughter of Mary KENYON (11b)] said John KENYON (11) and Elizabeth, his wife, were first buried side by side at the Wood River Church, English fashion, and when the church was repaired they were taken up and buried in the Wood River Cemetery (old part given by Enoch Card-the south part) southwest of the church in the southwest corner of the lot, on a knoll by themselves-near the present turnpike. This part of the Wood River Cemetery has deteriorated and their markers can no longer be seen. (Told by Mrs. John L. KENYON (16243b)) Records in Charlestown indicate that John KENYON (11) was a bridge builder. A number of his grandchildren told Mrs. JLK that he was killed by a binder on a log while crossing Wood River. Notes for Elizabeth Remington: She deeded land which had been part of her father's farm in Kingstown, to Henry Gardner, dated 25Nov1718, recorded 26Nov1718. ii. Sarah Kenyon, born February 22, 1683/84. iii. James Kenyon, born Abt. 1685. iv. Enoch Kenyon, born February 23, 1685/86. v. Joseph Kenyon, born Abt. 1688. vi. Samuel Kenyon, born Abt. 1690. 200 vii.

William Sanford, born May 12, 1676 in Portsmouth, RI.; died June 19, 1760 in Darthmouth, Ma.. He was the son of 804. Samuel Sanford and 805. Sarah Wodell. He married 403. Hope Sisson January 26, 1699/00. 403. Hope Sisson, born December 24, 1674 in Portsmouth, RI.; died January 21, 1752. She was the daughter of 806. George Sisson and 807. Sarah Lawton. Notes for William Sanford: William was a farmer. When the first school house was built in Portsmouth in 1716/1717, it was on land presented to the town by William. He may have been the schoolmaster, also. William served as Deputy from Portsmouth to the Rhode Island General Assembly in 1719, and was chosen Clerk of the House. He served as town clerk for Portsmouth 1717-1751, and was justice of the peace from 1718 to 1750. William was a member of the Society of Friends -- Quakers. He kept a diary in which he recorded births, marriages and deaths of family and friends, and events that seemed important to him. He owned land in both Rhode Island and Massachusetts Bay. Shortly after May 1751 he moved to Dartmouth, in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, where his son William had been living for about 20 years. Hope died less than a year later. William died at the age of 84. His will is dated 11 February 1751/1752, proved 4 November 1760. His son William was named executor. Children of William Sanford and Hope Sisson are: i. Richard Sanford, born March 17, 1699/00. ii. Sarah Sanford, born October 12, 1702. 201 iii. Mary Sanford, born November 16, 1703; died Aft. 1772; married David Sr. Kenyon Bef. 1723. iv.

Ebenezer II Niles, born March 04, 1709/10 in South Kingston, Washington Co., RI; died Bef. September 1746 in Richmond, Washington Co., RI; married Sarah Kenyon March 25, 1730 in South Kingstown, Washington Co., RI. ii. Penelope Niles iii. Sarah Niles 406. John Kenyon, born December 26, 1682 in Oldham, England; died 1735 in Westerly, RI. He was the son of 400. John Kenyon and 401. Anna Mumford. He married 407. Elizabeth Remington July 1704 in South Kingston, RI. 407. Elizabeth Remington, born Abt. 1685 in South Kingston, RI; died Abt. 1745 in RI. She was the daughter of 814. John III Remington and 815. Abigail Richmond. Notes for John Kenyon: He was admitted a freeman in 1712. He was deeded land by his father in South Kingstown in 1712, 170 acres. In 1726 he bought the land of John Handson in South Kingstown. In 1731, he sold the land bought of John Handson to Charles Dickinson. He deeded land in Westerly to his son, George, in 1734. In Westerly in 1732, he deeded land to his son, John. In 1734, in Westerly he deeded land to his son Sylvester. When his daughter, Elizabeth, married in 1735, it was entered on the town clerk's record that she was the daughter of "John, deceased." He left no record of administration. From the records on file in Richmond, RI, it appears that the youngest son, Benedict, was born in 1735, which leaves this year as the date of the father's death, unless Benedict was actually born somewhat earlier in the year and the father died in the latter part of 1734. His wife, Elizabeth, died on or before 1747, when her son, Thomas, was appointed administrator of her estate. The orphaned minors lived with their reHe was ad Mrs. Edward (Susan Card) BARBER [grand-daughter of Mary KENYON (11b)] said John KENYON (11) and Elizabeth, his wife, were first buried side by side at the Wood River Church, English fashion, and when the church was repaired they were taken up and buried in the Wood River Cemetery (old part given by Enoch Card-the south part) southwest of the church in the southwest corner of the lot, on a knoll by themselves-near the present turnpike. This part of the Wood River Cemetery has deteriorated and their markers can no longer be seen. (Told by Mrs. John L. KENYON (16243b)) Records in Charlestown indicate that John KENYON (11) was a bridge builder. A number of his grandchildren told Mrs. JLK that he was killed by a binder on a log while crossing Wood River.

Is now called Glenrock.” -- Neil Barber, courtesy of Alfred Rose Notes for Susanna West: There is a discussion in Vol. 1 of "R. I. Genealogical Register", on pg 112, about the possibility that Susanna, the wife of Moses Barber, may be Susannah Wait, daughter of Samuel and Hannah. It states that J. O. Austin gives it this way. One point made was that Sarah, daughter of Moses Barber and his (unknown) first wife, who was young when her mother died and was brought up for some time by Susannah, named a son Waite. However, "Mayflower Families..." says "The TAG volume 52 article is considered definitive as to the identification of Susannah West/Waist/Wast, the second wife of Moses Barber." (TAG is "The American Genealogist" and the reference given was vol 52 pg 101-2.) Children of Moses Barber and Susanna West are: i. Dinah Barber, born January 05, 1692/93. ii.

Ann Alcock 1639 in England. 515. Ann Alcock, born 1617 in Of Andover, Ma.; died December 03, 1693 in Salem Jail, Ma.. She was the daughter of 1030. George Alcock and 1031. Anne Hooker. Notes for Ann Alcock: [stone3.FTW] [stone2.FTW] Ann Foster was probably the second wife of Andrew Foster. She was accused of being a witch. She was tried and on 17 Sep 1692 received the "Sentance of Death" along with eight other individuals. Of these, eight were executed, Ann being the only one spared. She was put in jail in Andover, Essex Co., MA. Unfortunately prison conditions were not to her liking. She was over 70 years of age at the time, and death was her inevitable outcome, Her son Abraham Foster later alleged, she suffered imprisonment twenty-one weeks and upon her Tryall was condemned for supposed witchcraft and died in prison." Following is the doleful disposition of Ann;her daughter Mary (Foster) Lacey and her grand-daughter Mary Lacey, as quoted from Cotton Mather's, "Wonders": VIII.. One Foster, who confessed her own Share in the Witchcraft for which the Prisoner stood indicted, affirm’d, That she had seen the Prisoner at some of their Witch-Neetings, and that it was,this Carrier, (Martha Carrier found guilty of witchcraft and executed) who perswaded her to be a Witch. She confessed,, That the Devil carry'd them on a Pole, to a Witch-Meeting; but the Pole broke, and she hanging about Carriers Neck, they both fell down, and she then Received an Hurt by the Fall, whereof she was not at this very time Recovered. IX. One Lacy (Mary [Foster] Lacy - Ann's daughter), who also Confessed her share in this Witchcraft, now Testify'd , That she and the Prisoner were once Bodily present at a Witch-meeting in Salem-Village; and that she knew the Prisoner to be a Witch, and to have been at a Diabolical Sacrament, and that the Prisoner was the undoing of her and her Children., by Enticing them into the Snare of the Devil. X. Another Lacy., (Ann's grand-daughter, aged 14) who also Confessed her share in the Witchcraft, now Testify'd, that. the Prisoner was at the Witch-Meeting, in Salem Village, where they had Bread and Wine Administred unto them. --- Memorandum. This Rampant Hag, Martha Carrier, was the Person, of whom the Confessions of the Witches, and of her own Children among the rest, agreed That the Devil had promised her she should be Queen of Hell. Thus all three of the Fosters, mother, daughter and grand-daughter were pronounced guilty, Ann was examined four times, which ultimately led to her confession, Following is the conclusion of her last examination": 21. July.- -92 Ann Foster, Examined Owned her former confession being read to her and further confessed that the discourse amongst the witches at the meeting at Salem village was that they would afflict there to set up the Devil's Kingdom, This confession is true as witness my hand. The mark of Ann Foster There were 300 "witches" at this meeting described by Cotton Mather. Ann died in prison, while her child and grandchild were later freed. Ann would have been hanged, but probably her age and the unsavory prison conditions caused her untimely death. Such tortures as to tie her neck to her heels and deprive her of sleep were not unknown. She may have been exposed to another form of torture --- "Tie the left thumb to right toe and the right thumb to the left toe, then drop in the river." If they floated they were witches. If they sank, well, they might be all right - but someone had to fish them out, If it wasn't done quickly and the person died, they were undoubtedly guilty anyway. Ann's son Abraham Foster had to pay 2 pounds 10 shilling to the jailer to obtain her body. Her accused daughter Mary (Foster) Lacey died from natural causes in 1707, probably in Andover, Essex Co,, MA. Poor Ann, not only she was found guilty of witchcraft, but another daughter, Hannah (Foster) Stone, had been murdered by her son-in-law Hugh Stone only a few years before, as had her aged husband. To compound the matter her daughter Mary and her granddaughter Mary both had been convicted at this same time of being witches, and were undoubtedly jailed, but fortunately were later sent free. Possibly there was some salving of the witchcraft trial victims. On 17 Oct 1711 a "Reversal of Attainder" document was "Made and passed by the Great and General Court or- Assembly of Her Majesty's Province of the Massachusetts Bay in New England," Queen Mary was ruling the British Empire at the time. "Damages sustained by the Sundry persons prosecuted for witchcraft in the years 1692" totalled "Five hundred seventy eight pounds and Twelve shillings." Of this amount six pounds and ten shillings were awarded the heirs of Anne Foster (the least amount awarded) and eight pounds and ten shillings to the heirs of Mary Lacey. Children of Andrew Foster and Ann Alcock are: i. Abraham Foster, born Abt. 1640; died WFT Est. 1641-1730. 257 ii.

Ann Mighill, born 1618 in Of Rowley, Near Hull, Yorkshire, England; died September 26, 1657 in Rowley, Essex Co, MA. She was the daughter of 1046. Deacon Thomas Mighill and 1047. Ellen. Notes for Thomas Tenney: [stone3.FTW] [stone2.FTW] [Brøderbund WFT Vol. 20, Ed. 1, Tree #2326, Date of Import: Apr 11, 1999] Thomas Tenney came from England to Salem, Mass; 1638 at Rowley, 1640, later at Bradford, Mass. Sargeant and Ensign of Rowley foot company, 1677; maried Ann. Thomas Tenney, a member of the reverend ezekiel rogers' company from yorkshire, England, arrived at Salem, Mass., in December, 1638 and settled at Rowley, mass., in April 1639. (Gage's History Rowley) In a deposition taken at Ipswich, Mass., May 4, 1680, Mr. Tenney testifies in relation to an ox pasture in Rowley, and at that date he gave his age as about sixty-six years. (Ipswich Deeds, 4:329.) This would have made hime twenty-four years old when he emigrated to america with his wife ann, who was mentioned in the will of Deacon thomas Mighill of Rowley, Mass., as "sister ann Tenney." (Early Ssettlers of Rowley.) The said will was dated June 11, 1654. Mrs. Tenney was buried September 26, 1657. he married February 24, 1658, his second wife, Elizabeth, sidow of Francis parrat of Rowley. It does not appear that they had children. Mrs. Elizabeth Tenney received by bequest of Reverend Esekiel Rogers 10 in 1660-1. In the survey of the town of rowley in 1643 an acre-and-a half house-lot on Homes street was registered to Thomas Tenney, "bounded on the south side by John Haseltine's house-lot, and the east end by the streete." (Gage, 123.) It was bounded on the north side by the two-acre hosue-lot of robert Haseltine. This lot is now owned and occupied by the Primes, having been purchased of Daniel Tenney by Mark Prime in 1701, and has had a store thereon ever since. It is now bounded on the south by the homestead of George b. blodgette, Esq. The house erected by thomas Tenney, Senior, was torn down by captain Daniel N. Prime in 1838. "In a Survey of the Several Gates or commonages belonging vnto The Severall Inhabitants of the Town of Rowley as they ae now in possession," taken February 4, 1661, are the following entries to Thomas Tenney and his wife Elizabeth: "To Thomas Teney as to an acre and halfe lot and one gate given by the towne, two and halfe.................................................................................................2-halfe. purchased of Francis parrat, one gate...........................................................1-gate. purchased of the town one halfe gate........................................................half gate. To Elizabeth Tenney allias parrat, as belonging to Francis Parrat's two two Acre lot, seven gates vnsold..................................................................................7 gates. purchased of William Hobson sixe gates....................................................6 gates." In 1667, by division of the Island marshes, he received land. (Gate, 150-1.) In 1670, by division of Merrimack land, he recieved land. (Gage, 347-8.) In a division of 16734 he received land. (Gage, 138.) There was no settlement on the lot northwest of simon's Brook until after the day of Thomas Tenney, Senior. (Blodgette) This lot is one-half mile east of Long Hill, and is now owned by Mrs. M.J. (Tenney) Hathaway. The town records style him Ensign, Marshall in 1653-66; II armer of town meetings 1650-53- 60-61-66; Overseer of plains 1656-64-71; Selectman, 1660-61-70; Viewer of fences, highways, and chimneys, 1669; constable, 1665-66; Tithingman, 1680.

July, 1689; was in Andover, Massachusetts, a husbandman, in 1644, freeman, 2d May, 1638; m. Grace (surname not given), who d. 27th April, 1694." From; Database: Full Context of Colonial Families in the U.S. William Ballard came to America on the ship "Mary & John" March 26, 1634 WILLIAM BALLARD was born in England, as his name and associations here show, and about the year 1617, as by his deposition at a later time. He is generally believed to have come in the ship "Mary and John," sailing from old England on March 26, 1634. He would have been only eighteen at the time which is rather young to set off for a new world, but there are many other instances of very young men coming to America. Moreover, William Ballard of Andover was associated in both Newbury and Andover with some of the others who came on that vessel. In 1645 he owned land in Newbury, Massachusetts, and in 1643 his name appears in the records of Dedham, in the same Colony, as giving bond to pay fines imposed upon two men convicted of "mutinous and turbulent speeches." There is no record of him in Dedham other than this, but he may have resided there for a short period. He undoubtedly spent the greater part of his life in Andover, Massachusetts, where his name appears first on the earliest entry in the town records, giving a list of "the names of all free house houlders in order as they came to towne." His is the sixteenth name and as it is known that some of the others named immediately before and after him moved from Newbury to Andover in 1644, he may be presumed to have taken up his residence there about that time. An early deposition of his gives both his age and bears evidence to his hospitable spirit. The document is dated 1662, and relates to a neighbor's lawsuit. It reads: "The deposition of William Balard aged abought 45. This deponent saith that a bought sixe weekes senc the houes of Job Tiler being burned he gave the sd. Tilers wife leave to com with her family for a time and live at his houes hir husband at that time not being at home which accordingly shee did and there remaynes to this time." The spelling is the notary's. The house referred to was probably the residence mentioned in the following abstract of a deed which he made the following year. "William Ballard of Andover husbandman, exchanged lands with William Chandler and deeded to him his house and barn and 4 acres of land and one hortyard (orchard), bounded by lands of Nathan Parker, John Lovejoy, Andrew Allen, of Chandler and by the highway; his wife Grace joining in the deed; date, May 20 and 25, 1663." William Ballard was engaged in the war against the Narragansetts, better known as King Philip's War, in 1675-1676. He served in the garrison at Chelmsford, Massachusetts, where he was on duty on January 25, 1675/6, and drew pay of 02.08.00. He was then fifty-nine years old, his age explaining the comparatively inactive service. The wife of William Ballard, as here appears, was named Grace Berwick. He died on July 10, 1689, and his widow on April 27, 1694, both in Andover. William Blunt, Henry Holt, Samuel and Joseph Butterfield, and John Spalding were sons-in-law. William Ballard had nine children: Joseph, William, Sarah, Elizabeth, John 2, Hannah, Lydia, Abigail, and Ann.

Frances Tewksbury. Notes for Thomas Barnard: [stone3.FTW] [stone2.FTW] Thomas Barnard was born on August 10, 1617, possibly in Kingston, England. His parents may have been John Bernard and Phebe_____. ( This information taken from a LDS pedigree and is undocumented). Thomas Barnard came from England and was one of the first settlers of Salisbury, MA. (inc. 1640). His town is shown on a map of East Salisbury in 1639; he was a signer of the Articles of Agreement and one of the first eighteen "commoners." On Jan. 1, 1658, he and another "were chosen for ordering the prudential affairs of the Company", and in the latter part of that month was one of two chosen "standing Lot Layers", and served as such for many years. He was one of the ten original purchasers of Nantucket in 1659 and was probably represented there by his brother Robert, who was later admitted as his partner and to whom he assigned half his interest in the island. In 1665, he served on a committee to build a "meeting-house" and on June 15,1666, was chosen moderator of the town of New Salisbury and one of the first five Prudential men. On July 9,1667, a committee of which Thomas Barnard was one, was appointed to seat the people in the new church: "Thomas Barnard, Sr. is to set in the first seate in the Sowett side of the Metlen- house, behind the tabell and Goode Wiffe Barnard is to set in the second seate." It was said he was killed by Indians in 1667 but on April 11, 1670, "Thomas Barnard, Sr." was chosen one of three Prudential men. However, in 1677, there was an Indian raid upon Salisbury, several inhabitants were killed whose names are unknown and it was probably then that Thomas Barnard lost his life. Thomas was a grand juror in Salisbury on 4/11/1665. Children of Thomas Barnard and Helen Hoyt are: 274 i.

Notes for DR Joseph Peasley: [stone3.FTW] [stone2.FTW] Ruth and Joseph's first child, Mary, was conceived out of wedlock and born on July 14, 1672 , less then 6 months after the wedding. Consequently, at the quartlerly court session at Salisbury on April 8,1673 "Joseph P. and Ruth, his wife, presented for fornication, confessed and were sentenced to be whipped tommorow or pay a fine of 6 pounds". The record does not state which they choose. viii. John Barnard, born January 12, 1654/55 in Salisbury, Massachusetts; died July 15, 1718 in Amesbury, Massachusetts. ix. Abigail Barnard, born January 20, 1656/57 in Salisbury, Massachusetts; died WFT Est. 1686- 1751. 550. Joseph Peasley, born 1600 in Bristol, Severn, England; died December 03, 1660 in Amesbury, MA. He was the son of 1100. William Peaslee and 1101. Anne Calvert. He married 551. Mary Johnson Abt. 1625 in Newbury, Essex, MA. 551. Mary Johnson, born 1604 in Trevor, Issa, Wales; died September 27, 1694 in Haverhill, Essex, MA. She was the daughter of 1102. John Johnson and 1103. Hannah Throckmartin. Notes for Joseph Peasley: [stone3.FTW] [stone2.FTW] Joseph Peaslee, the first bearing that name who came to New England, was originally from Gloucestershire, England. Peaslee family tradition place Joseph's origin near the banks of the River Severn in Gloucestershire, England, which flows not far from the border of Wales. He is referred to as having been of Bristol which is the metropolitan center of the area. He was born around 1600 His father may be a William Calvert but as a yet I have found no documentation on this. He was married to Mary Johnson of Wales but may have been married previously. The reason for believing this is that Joseph's first three children were born in England with the last being born in 1629. There were at least two other children which were born in Haverhill, Mass. in 1642 and 1646. This 13 year gap plus the fact that Mary Johnson was much younger then Joseph indicates that she may have been wife #2. Joseph Peaslee and his family settled first in Newbury, Mass, around the year 1638. In 1641 Joseph was granted additional land in Newbury and in 1642 he was made a Freeman of the community. In 1645 Joseph Peaslee was one of 32 landowners who founded Haverhill, Mass. He was listed as a Freeman in Haverhill in 1646. He and his family lived in the "eastern part of the town near the head of what is now East Broadway on the side towards the Merrimack River". He was chosen to serve Haverhill as a Selectman in 1649, 1650 and 1653.Joseph was a farmer and a cattle rancher. He was also remembered as one who had much knowledge of herbs and roots and used them to aid people medically. In 1656 he moved to Salisbury, Mass. The section he settled in is now a part of Newton, New Hampshire. According to Fredrick Lamphere, early settlers of Salisbury were reluctant to take up their abode in the western half of the town and that in 1642 30 families were either forced to or were "persuaded" to settle there. When there the settlers felt that they should have their own church and not have to travel to the church in Salisbury. They petitioned the General Court for this right. The court ruled against them and added that anyone not attending their church would be fined 5 shillings. When Joseph arrived in this part of town, this controversy was still going on. Joseph then took a leading part in it as he began to preach at the "new church". Joseph got into trouble over this on a number of occasions. At one point a warrant was issued ordering Joseph to appear before the court and answer for his disobedience to authorities. He refused to stop preaching and in 1659 was fined by the court. A compromise was finally reached where the new residents would hire the preacher from the Salisbury church to travel to their church and preach. Joseph died on 12/3/1660 and his will was proved on 2/9/1661. Children of Joseph Peasley and Mary Johnson are: i. Jane Peasley, born Abt. 1623 in Near Haverhill, Massachusetts; died July 18, 1694 in Dover, Ma; married Ens. John Davis, Ens. December 10, 1646 in Haverhill, Ma; born Bef.

By 1653, he had removed to Oyster River (Dover) and in 1656, had purchased land there. On 22 May 1666, he was admitted Freeman. He built his garrison house near Davis Creek on the north side of the river and near its mouth, on land bought from Valentine Hill on 14 August 1654. He had numerous grants of land. He was a selectman from 1663-1667. He also ws a Constable, a surveyor of lands, and other offices. He is called Ensign as early as 1662. He was commanding Captain of the Troop.

Taken from the Book entitled "The Other Bennetts", authored by Isabel (BENNETT) Ridell and information obtained from the Chemung County Historical Society, of Chemung New York, 415 E. Water Street, Elmira, New York, 14901: EDWARD BENNETT sailed from Weymouth, Malcombe-Regis Dorset, England to Weymouth MA with his wife and 4 children in 1636. There he took up as he was entitled to thirty-six acres of public land. He was made a freeman in 1636. After a residence there for seven years he became an original proprietor in the company that founded Rehoboth, to which place he removed in 1643 with a certain Rev. Newman. He died at Rehoboth in 1645, an original proprietor wealthy, and was burried in Proprietor's cemetary. 2.

Corispondence received 17 September, 1996: Genealogical and Family Histories of THE WYOMING AND LACKAWANNA VALLEYS PENNSYLVANIA: dated 1906: BENNETT FAMILY. "Mihi Consulit Deus." Such is the motto of that branch of the Bennett family under consideration here; "a very ancient family of which a pedigree of thirteen descendants is recorded in the "College of Arms," says Burke; and a family, according to accepted authority "of the order of decent gentry," who were descended from two brothers of Berkshire who migrated to London toward the close of the sixteenth century. The Immigrant ancestor of the family in America was Edward Bennett, of Wiltshire, England, who was one of the first colonists of Weymouth, in New England; Freeman there in 1636, and one of the founders of Rehoboth, Massachusetts, where he died 1646. 3.

Bennett Jr. - San Diego, CA - April 1990 (Self Published). Notes from Boston Transcript, Published November 24, 1930, Note 2417. BENNETT. From papers belonging to Rev. George S. Bennett (now deceased): EDWARD BENNETT, born in England, came with his wife Elizabeth and four children settled in Weymouth MA in 1636 where land was given to him. Made a Freeman at General Court held in Boston, May 26, 1636. Resided in Weymouth seven years, when he joined the Rev. Newman's Company, and became one of the original proprietors of that part of Rehoboth, MA called Seakonk, near Providence, RI, moving there with his family in 1643. He died in 1645-6. Children born in England were: Samuel, born 1628; John, born 1630; Priscilla, born 1632, married William Carpenter, Oct. 5, 1651; name of fourth child not given. John (2) Bennett married Usilla ------, removed with his father to Rehoboth, whence came the first settlers of Stonington, Conn. Among them was John Bennett, who took up his residence in Mystic as early as 1656. He died at Stonington, Oct. 22, 1691. He probably had ten children. John (3), the sixth child, was born in Stonington, Feb. 19, 1666, married Elizabeth Park, March 8, 1687. He was a soldier in King Phillip's War, removed to Preston Conn., in 1709, and died there Dec. 29, 1745. He had eight children. [snip] Refering to the children of Edward Bennet upon his death prior to Feb. 18, 1646, Ralph Bennett writes : "The older sons were old enough to run the widow's farm. Samuel was 18; John, 16. But tHe farm came into the possession of Richard Bowen Jr. , whose name appears instead of hers in an allotment list drawn up in 1658." "By then, son Samuel had moved to Rhode Island and son John, to Connecticut. Daughter Priscilla married William Carpenter on October 5, 1651, and died on October 20, 1663, the day their son Benjamin was born. Edward and Richard Bennet, the younger sons, stayed in Rehoboth but later the Bennet name fades from town records." Refering to John, son of Edward and Elizabeth, Ralph Bennett writes : "John Bennet moved to Connecticut in 1656, when he was 26. He traveled about 50 miles southwest from Rehoboth, across the state of Rhode Island, to the southeast corner of Connecticut, where there was a pleasant valley and saltwater cove on Long Island Sound." "The land had belonged to the Pequot Indians who were massacred in 1637 by the Narragansetts and whites. William Cheesebrough of Rehoboth was the first settler at a place call Wequetequock in what was then called the Mystic and Pawcatuck area. ... By 1668, there wer 43 heads of families, including John Bennet, who drew lots for home sites in the village." "By then, John Bennet had married and started a family. He and Ursula White of Stonington had 10 children, it is said, but we know the names of only five of them. The first John, born Feb. 24, 1659, died when he was four years old. William was born in 1660. Rapid-fire births were usual in the early stages of matrimony in those days, so there may have been other children before the second son named John was born in 1666. A daughter, Elizabeth, was born in 1672. Joseph was born in 1681."

(Rehoboth vital records, p. 910). He was a signer of the first covenant dated 5/5/1644. He was chosen deputy to the Plymouth Court in 1651, representing Rehoboth. (Bliss' History of Rehoboth p.168) Richard served as Surveyor of Highways 1649 and 1668, as Town Clerk 1654-1658, as Grand Juror 1658- 1670, and as Judge. (Rehoboth vital records). Bowen's Bridge over the Seekonk stream is mentioned at an early period and derives its name from him. June 28, 1653 the citizens of Rehoboth appointed Richard Bowen, Stephen Payne, Thomas Cooper and William Sabin, their delegates to treat with Captain Miles Standish. (Rehoboth vital records). The will of Richard Bowen, Sr., is dated 4 June 1675, and exhibited to the Court at Plymouth. It is printed in the Mayflower Descendant, Volume 17, beginning of page 247.

Notes for Robert Titus: [stone3.FTW] [stone2.FTW] [simple.FTW] [Brøderbund WFT Vol. 3, Ed. 1, Tree #6004, Date of Import: May 30, 1998] Robert Titus is the first Titus of that name in America. He was born in England in 1600, probably St. Catherine's Parish, near Abbots, Hertfordshire, some thirty miles north of London. There is a probability that Robert was of the same family of Col. Silas Titus, who played quite a part in the politics of his time. The father of Col. Silas was also Silas, and Silas, Senior, had three sons: Silas, Stephen, and one other son, whom the record does not mention, but whom we suppose was Robert, who at the time was in America. Silas, Senior, married Constancia ?, who died October 22, 1667. He died Nov. 24, 1637. Their children were Robert (probably), born 1600, Silas, born 1622, Stephen, died March 30, 1671 The Titus Family in America, Three Generations, Rev. Anson Titus, Jr., Weymouth, Massachusetts. Silas Titus, Senior, according to the record contained in the Hertfordshire Visitation 1631, belonged to the guild of the Soapmakers of London, whose business was so ruthlessly disturbed from June, 1632, to May, 1637, by the high handed proceedings of the "Patentees for Soap at Westminister." "He was evidently a quiet, orderly country squire with a snug business in town. Whether the proceedings of the Patentees had any influence upon him or his affairs is a matter of conjecture." He died shortly after his troubles were settled in 1637. His son, Silas, matriculated in that year, being then 45 years of age and is described in the records of Oxford as "Gent. of Ramsey, Herts.", and Robert, a husbandman, who was probably his eldest son, had, two years before, emigrated to America taking his wife and two sons, John and Edmund, with him. Notes to Edward C. Titus based upon his investigation of records in England, Titus Family in America, Percy Hobart and Dorothy M. Titus. Robert Titus embarked from London April 3, 1635, on the Hopewell. The following is the entry in the passenger list, preserved in the Public Record Office, London. "Theis under written names are to be transported to New England, imbarqued in ye Hopewell, Mr. Wm. Bundick. The p'ties have brought certificate from the Minister and justices of Peace that they are no Subsedy men, they have taken the oath of Alleg. and Supremacie, Robert Titus, Husbandman of St. Katherin's (aged) 35 Hannah Titus, unor 31 Jo. Titus 8 Edmond Titus 5" They arrived at Boston in a few weeks , and soon were granted land in the present town of Brookline, near Muddy River, adjoining Boston. Here the family remained two or three years, when they moved to the town of Weymouth, some nine miles to the southeast. Their land is described in the records of the town of Weymouth, and was located in the present village of North Weymouth, and is not far from the unfortunate settlement which Capt. Weston made in September, 1622. In the spring of 1644 Robert, in company with some forty families, removed with the minister of the Weymouth parish, Rev. Samuel Newman, to the town of Rehoboth, just east of Providence, Rhode Island. He was one of the founders of the first parish. "Robert Titus was an important man; one of the leaders of the town who had held all the important offices, including deputy in 1648 and townsman in 1649." He was Commissioner for the Court of Plymouth from Rehoboth the years 1648-1649 and 1650 and 1654. His "house was located in the south end of the 'Ring of the Town' on the east side of what is now Bishop Street, north of its junction with Newman Avenue, in the Rumford section of the town of East Providence. He had some problems with the authorities, however, because he harbored Abner Ordway and family, they being of "evil fame," which meant, presumably, that they were Quakers. Soon afterward he gave notice of his intention to leave the colony. "On 23 Mar. 1653/4 he sold his Rehoboth property to Robert Jones of Nantasket, Mass." Jones married Robert's daughter Susanna. Robert "was preparing to leave Rehoboth and go to Flushing, Long Island. Titus had been involved in a controversy with Nicholas Ide over a parcel of salt meadow. Both parties agreed on William Carpenter, Richard Bowen, and John Allen as arbitrators who 'gave satisfaction to Nicholas Ide'. On 11 June 1654, before Robert Martin, town clerk, Ide acknowledged himself satisfied....This is the last mention of Robert Titus in the Rehoboth records. The Plymouth Colony Court record is as follows: 6 June 1654--At the General Court of Election held at Plymouth 'Robert Titus informed this court, that he, having sold his house and land at Rehoboth, and being ere long to remove out of this government, and that Mr. Browne had layed an attachment upon some part of his estate to the value of fifty pounds, requiring him to secure the town of Rehoboth of Abner Ordway; and upon hearing and debating the matter, it did evidently appear that the said Robert Titus had, contrary to the mind of the towne, received into and harbored in his house as inmates Abner Ordway and a woman, persons of evil fame, with children. It is therefore ordered by the Court, that the Said Titus, when he removeth himself and family, shall carry the said Abner, and all that appertainth unto him, with him, or else give such security as Mr. Browne shall see meet for the saving the inhabitants of the town harmless from any determent that may befall them by Abner Ordway, or any such as belong unto him; and in the interim of his removal to repair such damage as any shall sustaine therby.' Quotations from Early Rehoboth. Robert's sons, Samuel, Abiel, and Content, were freeholders in Huntington, Long Island, in 1666. John, the eldest son, remained in Rehoboth, north Purchase, now Attleboro, and Edmund came to Hempstead, Long Island as early as 1650. The will of Hannah Titus, widow of Robert, who died about 1667, was made May 14, 1672. Letters of administration were granted her son Content by Governor Andros, and an inventory made of the estate which amounted to L52 13s. 6d, March 24, 1678-9. The following is a literal copy of her will, made at Huntington, Long Island, where her home was. The original is on file in the office of the Clerk of the Court of Appeals, at Albany, New York. "May 14th, 1672. The last will and testament of Hanna Titus, being in perfit memory, I bequeth my sowl to God that gave it, and my body to the earth, and for my Estate I despose of it as followeth.-- Imprimis I give to my sonn Content my house and all my land; and out of the forsaid house and Lands I give to my sonn John tenn poundes, which my son Content is to pay him.

Their descendants are now Much scattered. Edmond Titus was born in England about the year 1630; He came with his brothers when young to New England and when grown to the state of manhood came to long Island and after a few years settled at Westbury. Both were convinced of the principles of the people called Quakers, in the fore part of their time, and living in a strict and circumspect maner, were pious examples to their childern and others. They lived to an advanced age and their close appears to have been peaceful and happy. Ten of their children grew up, were married and all lived within twenty miles of one another and were living when the youngest was sixty years old. Several became far advanced in age, and all lived and died in the faith their Godly parents had instructed them in. The oldest son, Samuel, maried Elizabeth Powel of Bethpage andhad three children, Pheba, Martha, and Samuel. Samuel married Mary Jackson of Jerusalem, had seven children, all lived and married and had several children. Five of Samuel's and Mary's children lived to advance age. James was near 100 yearsold. Elizabeth their eldest daughter married John Keese, son of John and Mary Keese, of Flushing, L. I. Date of death February 7, 1714/1715 or April 7, 1715 iv.

Notes for William Batt Carpenter: William Carpenter (1605-85), one of the 13 original proprs. of Providence Plantations, R.I.; dep. several times and gov.'s asst., 1665-72; a propr. of Providence (desc. several signers of Magna Charta); from Eng. In the "Bevis," to Weymouth, Mass., 1638. He settled at Weymouth, and became the progenitor of the "Rehoboth family of Carpenters in America," whose Genealogy was written by A. B. Carpenter. He was admitted freeman at Weymouth, May 13, 1640. He was representative 1641 and 1643, removed to Rehoboth 1645, and was representative from there that year. He was Constable 1641. Gov. Bradford, who married his cousin Alice, manifested great friendship for him, and favored him in many of his measures in Plymouth Court. The legal business of the Town or Colony was largely done by William Carpenter. About 1642, he was appointed Captain by the General Court. He died at Rehoboth February 7, 1659, his wife ABIGAIL born about 1606, died February 22, 1687. Source: ABRIDGED COMPENDIUM, Frederick Virkus , Page 152.

William Carpenter. pioneer ancestor of the American line, son of William Carpenter of Herefordshire and London, England, was born in 1605, and came to America with his father in 1638. He was admitted a freeman of Weymouth, May 13, 1640; was representative from Weymouth, 1641-43; and chosen proprietor's clerk in 1643. He drew lot No. 18 in the division of land in Rehoboth, June 30, 1644, and was admitted an inhabitant there March 28, 1645, and a freeman in June of that year. It was through his influence that the grant of Seekonk, otherwise known as Rehoboth, was made by the General court--then at Plymouth. This was the tract of land selected by Roger Williams for a settlement when driven out of the Massachusetts colony. In 1647 William Carpenter was made one of the directors of the town, and the legal business of the settlement was transacted principally by him. He contributed toward the expense of King Philip's war, and was one of a committee to lay out the road from Rehoboth to Dedham. About 1642 he received a commission as captain from the governor of Massachusetts, and was called upon to act for the protection and ownership of the Pawtuxet lands. He was a close friend of Governor Bradford, who married Alice (Carpenter) Southworth, cousin of William Carpenter and widow of Edward Southworth of England. He died at Rehoboth, Massachusetts, February 7, 1659, Abigail, wife of William Carpenter died in Rehoboth, February 22, 1687.

Following references from Banks31: 1630: "one of the large body of immigrants who came to New England with Gov. Winthrop in 1630, settling first at Salem, later at Charlestown and Watertown" (Vol 2, p63) 18 May 1631: made freeman of the colony, residence Watertown. March, 1642: became on of the original five grantees of a township on Martha's Vineyard, the Vineyard having been purchased by Thomas Mayhew, a friend and neighbor in Watertown. 1646: removed to Rehoboth 29 March 1651/2: chosen corporal of the military company on the Vineyard, having moved to the island sometime between 1648 and this date. 8 June 1653: chosen assistant to the chief magistrate (Mayhew) to manage the business of the island, a position which he held for 3 years. //During this period of late 1650's he had a major dispute with the Governor when he purchased a 500 acre farm from the Indians at Ogkeshkuppe without Mayhew's consent, even though Mayhew had granted him a farm of that size in 1642. Mayhew fined him £5000 and he had to sue for his rights, a suit that he won to the 'great humiliation of Mayhew.'// 1661: one of the townsmen who 'submitted' to the Mayhew government. 1661-3: recorded as a plaintiff in several civil suits against his neighbors. 1663: a subscriber to the 'general fence' Early 1665: agent for the town in purchasing some fishing rights of the Sachem Tewanticut. Post 1665: moved to Plymouth by 29 Aug 1667 when he remarried. 26 May 1668: His holdings on Martha's Vineyard (besides the 500 acre farm) detailed by his son Thomas (then the clerk of Martha's Vineyard). His home lot at Great Harbor wa the first one south of Governor Mayhew's and was situated on the west side of the road to the plains as it passes Tower Hill. Apparently it was the west half of a lot owned by him and Malachi Browning and the probable site of his residence. Biography: John was one of the many Puritans who came to this country as part of Governor Winthrop's contingent of 1630, settling first in Boston, then Charlestown and Watertown.31 In Watertown he befriended the young and eterprising Thomas Mayhew, for in 1641 he was one of the original five proprietors of Mayhew's newly purchased 'estate' of Martha's Vineyard. He evidently took up residence in Reheboth briefly before moving to the island between 1648 and 1652. There his friendship with the governor was renewed. His homelot, detailed by his son in 1668, was the house directly south of the Governor's, and he was appointed assistant to the chief magistrate of the Island (Governor Mayhew). Things didn't fare so well between the two in the latter part of the decade, however, for the governor got angry with John for purchasing some land from the Indians without his permission, Mayhew claiming that he didn't have title to that land in the first place. John won the dispute, but to smooth ruffled feathers consented to a curious 'submission' to the authority of the governor that Thomas was demanding of the people of the island to consolidate his authority. Things were never the same again, and in 1665 John left the island to settle in Plymouth, where he remarried, his wife of 30 some years having died in this decade. John died at the age of 70 after six years of marriage to Bathsheba Pratt. Research: From Banks31, Vol II, p 63: "The published genealogy of the Doggett-Daggett family gives a full account of the English and American families bearing this name, and the reader is referred to that source for detailed information about them. The name was, undoubtedly, Doggett, and some branches still retain that form of spelling, and our early New England records bear out this view. The family historian, in his review of the English origin of our John Daggett, thinks he may have been the third son of William and Avis (Lappage) Doggett of Boxford, Suffolk, baptized Nov. 4, 1602, but it may be said in criticism of this guess that the names of William and Avis do not appear in any of the immediate descendants of John for three generations, and that is an unusual omission, according to custom and experience." Daggett's 'A Sketch of the History of Attleborough' 33 was written by John Doggett's descendant. through Thomas and Hannah Mayhew, their son John, his son Ebenezer, his son John, and his son Ebenezer. He used Samuel Daggett's work, published the same year as his 'Sketch' for most of the genealogical information on his own family. His two sons on Martha's Vineyard had descendants on the island as of Banks' writing (1925). The two sons, Thomas and Joseph, went distinctly different directions in their public and private relations, one marrying the Governor's daughter and the other an Indian maiden. Notes for Hepzibah Brotherton: [stone3.FTW] [stone2.FTW] [simple.FTW] Gordon Remington, F.U.G.A., has done extensive research into this person. His research was published in The American Genealogist, April, 1997 and concludes that John Doggett's wife was Alice Brotherton, bapized at Husborne Crawley, Bedfordshire, on 6 March 1602(/3). His research takes issue with several points raised by Banks, from which the lineage here is taken. Anyone concerned with this family is urged to consult his article. Banks31 asserts that there is nothing discovered to determine her maiden name or ancestry. The contention that it is Brotherton based on the name being perpetuated in three widely separated branches of Daggett descendants. 3 Mar 1660: Hepzibah Daggett witnessed the sale of the "Farm" that caused the big dispute with the Governor. This is no doubt his wife, as the daughter by the same first name was then married to John Eddy. Footnote in Banks31: Wills of persons of this name which came to Banks' attention: Thomas Brotherton, mariner, Deptford, Kent 1621 (P.C.C. Dale 92); Eleanor Brotherton, widow, Lewes, Sussex 1636; John Brotherton, skinner, London, 8 Mar 1640 (Commissary, Wills, London, XXIX, 382); Alice Brotherton, widow, New Sarum, Wiltshire 8 July 1641 (P.C.C. Evelyn 100) Biography: We know for sure that John Daggett's wife was named Hepzibah, and Dr. Banks is almost certain of the surname Brotherton, although there is no direct evidence. His certainty is based on the name being perpetuated in three widely separated branches of Daggett descendants. 31 Children of John Doggett and Hepzibah Brotherton are: i. John Daggett, born 1628 in Groton, Suffolk, England; died September 09, 1707.

Jane Gallion 1634 in Medford, Middlesex, Mass.. 659. Jane Gallion, born 1602 in London, London, England; died Aft. May 1666 in Edfartown, Dukes, MA. She was the daughter of 1318. Thomas Gallion. Notes for Thomas Mayhew: Baptism: Parish Register of Tisbury, Co. Wilts cited in Banks, Vol I, p 10831 Spelling is 'Maho' The connection to the father is based not only on the baptism records of Tisbury, but also by the connection of place names of Martha's Vineyard original family place names in England: Tisbury and Dinton. Little known of his education, presumably at Tisbury. Became a merchant at Southampton, going out into the business world after the death of his father when he was 21(1614). Became known to Matthew Cradock, a London merchant who was an entrepeneur of colonial trade, and for whom he became an agent. 6 Mar, 1631/2: earliest record of him in America: Records of the General Court of MA - he is chairman of a committee to settle a boundary dispute between Charlestown and Newton. Since this is a report it would be safe to say he emigrated in 1631. Thereafter there are many evidences of him in the political and business life of the colony. Lived at Medford until 1637, when his association with Cradock terminated in unlitigated charges by Cradock that Mayhew was cheating him. (letter of 13 Jan 1636 from Mathew Cradock to Gov. Wintrop which pleads Winthrop to look into the matter and bring him some justice and satisfaction)31 Vol I, p121 Removed to Watertown in 1637 - elected Deputy to the General Court to represent Watertown in the Colonial Assembly. Reelected in '38 through 1644. In 1641 he took advantage of the opportunity to acquire the title and sovereignty of Martha's Vineyard, and henceforth the biography of Governor Mayhew becomes the history of Martha's Vineyard. There were three conflicting claims to the islands: The royal grant to Ferdinand Gorges of Maine, the grant to Lord Stirling, and the Indians. Thomas Mayhew took pains at this point to secure the patent from both Gorges and Stirling and insisted, in the usual Puritan way, on purchasing the natural claim for land from the natives. While his son Thomas evidently moved to the Vineyard sometime in 1642, Thomas Sr. was not known as "of Martha's Vineyard" until late in 1647. Remembering that in the first years of settlement the young colony had a population of a skant 100 English people, all settled at Great Harbor (later known as Edgartown), Thomas Sr. ran the colony as he saw fit, with little formal government. The first semblance of a government appeared in 1653, when a governing body six men was formed. For the next five years this board functioned as a General Court, with Thomas Sr as the chief magistrate and 5 to 7 men as his assistants. At the death of Thomas Jr, when his father was 65 years old, a significant change occured in the governing of the island, with Thomas Sr. consolidating his singular role as chief magistrate without assistants. The colony was growing and in 1661 Thomas, in a further effort to consolidate his power, had a number of people sign a curious document that constituted sort of a submission to his power. As Banks says: "It is apparent from internal evidence that the settlers must have begun to chafe under this personal government of the patentee, and the eighteen men who "submitted" included those who in later years openly rebelled against him and his government."31 Vo1, p135 (John Daggett (also our ancestor) was the first signer -see the notes on his biography and the conflict that he was in the midst of with Thomas Sr over the 500 acre "farm'.) In 1663 the Stirling grants were sold a member of the royal family, James, the Duke of York. With the signature of the King, the lands under Thomas' domain became part of the 'small empire' put together by the Duke of York, the territory of the patent covering what is now New York, New Jersey and Delaware, territory which was then under the control of the Dutch, but which would soon be English. By 1671, Thomas was fighting for the ownership and control of his island through several changes of 'lordship' and acting governors. This was resolved at the Conference at Fort James in New York in the summer of 1771, when Thomas presented, over a period of six days, his claims to the governor of New York, Francis Lovelace, and Matthias Nicolls, a representative of the Duke. The matter was resolved in Mayhew's favor, and he was granted "...Governor for life, Chief Justice of the Courts of Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket, Lord of the Manor of Tisbury and collector and receiver of the customs for the Vineyard." "Dutch Rebellion" of 1673: In 1673, a brief retaking of New York by the Dutch was all a number of "rebels" on Martha's Vineyard needed to challange the right of Thomas to rule with the iron hand he had been wielding. An appeal to both the Governor and to the council of the Massachusetts Bay to return to the form of government originally intended in the Lord Stirling grant met with no success, Governor Mayhew refusing to the petitioners, who represented over half of the landowners on the island. Failing any concern from the Massachusetts Bay council over the matter, the 'rebels' attempted to form their own independent government, succeeding with the dual government for little over a year. During this time, Governor Mayhew "...was quietly putting the screws on individuals where he could, fining them so heavily that it amounted to a sequestration of their property. No doubt Mayhew acted in this particular from an honest, but exaggerated point of view as to his dignity, and he probably considered them all as traitors to the duke whom he represented."31 Vol 1, pp161-2. (one of the 'rebels', John Pease, was also an ancestor. John Pease's daughter Sarah married John, the son of Thomas Daggett and Hannah Mayhew. When it was apparent that Mayhew was going to win this battle with the rebels, "John Pease, foreseeing the coming of the storm, made his will on March 4, 1674, and was thus prepared for the next world and what might happen in this."31 Vol 1, p166) Restoration of Mayhew's authority, 1674: Mayhew didn't so much have to deal with the rebels except with reprisals, for the new Royal governor of New York, Sir Edmund Andros, dealt with the problem following the reestablishment of English order from the Dutch. No doubt the problem had been represented to him that the rebels not only favored the Dutch rule, but were enemies of the duke. In any case, he issued an order (Warrants, Orders, Passes, Vol III, 21) dated Nov. 7, 1674 that gave the Governor and his assistants the power to ..."call to Account and Punish according to Law, all such offenders and Transgressors...the Crime not extending to Life Limbe or Banishment: But in Cases of such High Crime which may Deserve those Punishments to secure the offenders and send them hither by first convenience." This gave the Governor all he needed to institute reprisals and reestablish his authority. Banks asserts, with a convincing argument, that the passion for reprisal was no doubt that of even an 81 year old man: "It may be thought that in this the aged governor, then eighty-one, was under the influence of his grandson, about twenty-five years of age and then at a period in life likely to develop hot-headedness, or of his son-in-law Daggett, but no one who has studied the governors' character can fail to accord him the actual credit for all that he did, or had done in his name, down to the hour when he drew his last breath. He was a man who ruled his family as he ruled others, without brooking disobedience, and he could and did get into violent passions..."31 Vol I, 165 What followed were a number of reprisals, fines and indictments of various members of the community, men who "...were simply being punished for seeking political freedom, and naturally had the sympathy of those in other colonies where the ballot was the poor man's weapon against oppression and arbitrary rulers."31 Vol I, 168 The reprisals were such that a number of the men were deprived of their property and effectively banished from the island. Charles Banks asserts that the whole matter was an attempt to engraft a medieval manorial system on a people who had left such things behind, or supposed they had, when they crossed the ocean to build up a new political system of democratic government, where hereditary privileges whould have no place."31, Vol I, 169) A council of magistrates was reestablished in 1675 consisting of the governor, Richard Sarson (a son-in-law), Matthew and Thomas Mayhew (two grandsons). This council proceeded for five years until it was questioned by Governor Andros for failing to make annual reports of the elections. An order to make such reports remained unanswered, and as nothing was done to loosen the family control of the island, the situation remained as such until the Governor's death at the age of eighty-nine. Biography: Thomas Mayhew Sr, known even to this day on Martha's Vineyard as "The Governor", immigrated to Massachusettes in 1631/2 as an agent for a London merchant. He quickly entered into prominance in the political and business life of the 'boom' years of Puritan immigration, the 1630's. In the 1640's he acquired the title to Martha's Vineyard and followed an advance settlement of that island by his son by several years. There he established a minor 'fiefdom' of his own, ruling the island with singular authority and nepotism. Following the death of his son Thomas in 1657, he continued the missionary work to the Indians begun by Thomas, establishing the basis for 5 generations of missionary work to the natives. He also entrenched his political authority on the Island when the lands of Martha's Vineyard were transferred to the Duke of York in 1663 by petitioning the Duke and once again being granted sole authority on the island. Surviving, at the age of 81, a rebellion against his autocratic rule by over half the population of the island in 1673, he left firmly established family control of Martha's Vineyard to his grandson, Matthew Mayhew.

Malachi Browning, born 1600 in Maldon, Essex, England; died November 27, 1653 in Boston, Suffolk, Mass.. He was the son of 1324. William Browing and 1325. Dorothy Vernon. He married 663. Mary Collier May 22, 1628 in St. Helen, London, England. 663. Mary Collier, born 1604 in London, Middlesex, England; died September 07, 1672 in Watertown, Middlesex, Massachusetts. She was the daughter of 1326. William Collier and 1327. Jane Clark. Notes for Malachi Browning: From 'The History Of Martha's Vineyard' Vol II, Annals of Edgartown: 'This person was one of the Watertown contingent of first comers. He had been an owner of a home stall in that place in 1642, and probably emigrated to New England some two years before that date (footnote 3, pg. 46: On June 2, 1640 "Mr. Browning for selling strong water was fined 5s with: to ha: 2s of it"(Record, Court of Assistants, I, 282.) There was no other Browning in Massachusetts as yet come to light, and taken in connection with a subsequent entry it is entirely probable this relates to our Malachi Browning.) He was from Maldon, Co. Essex, England, a few miles distant from Baddow Magna, the home of John Pease, and Bromfield, possibly the residence of the Vincents prior to their emigration. Malachi Browning and his brother Jeremy were appointed in 1630 administrators of the estate of their sister Sarah Armestronge als Browninge of Maldon(footnote 4: P.C.C. Administration Book (1630), fol. 173b), and in 1647, after his arrival in this country, he gave a power of attorney to a party to agree with Mr. Thomas Browning of Maldon in Essex, Clerk (ie; minister), concerning his reversionary title to lands in the Ratchford Hundred in same county.(footnote 5: Aspinwall Notarial Records, 94.) These clues enabled the author to make a definite search for his family antecedents, and he had the registers of the two parishes of St. Mary, and All Saints and St. Peter searched for Browning records. The result as given below is a satisfactory solution although the name of Malachi does not appear, yet that of his brother Jeremy and his sister Sarah are given, and it will be noted that there is a Daniel in the list of children, and that our Malachi had a son of that name. It is probable that the family removed to another parish as no further record of the father's family is to be found in St. Mary's. Malachi was in all probablilty, short of absolute proof, the son of William and Dorothy (Vernon) Browning of Maldon, the record of whose family from 1581 to 1599 appears on the parish register of St. Mary.(footnote 1, pg. 47: William was probably son of an earlier William of same parish.) By his first wife Martha, who was buried in 1583, he had two daughters, and by his second, Dorothy, to whom he was married Sept. 10, 1583, at All Saints, he had the following children baptized:-- Michael, October 5, 1584 (All Saints) (all entries below in St. Mary's) [Mary,________bur. 23 JUN 1588] Priscilla, December 5 1587, bur. Mch 24, 1589 Daniel, December 10, 1588 Jeremy, October 18, 1590 Mary, October 8, 1592, bur. July 29, 1593 Susan, May 12, 1594 Saree, March 28, 1597 [m._____Armstrong] Anne, September 9, 1599. m. Michael Cooper, 1615 [Malachi, b. about 1601] But if this is not convincing we have the will of William Browning of Maldon, dated April 23, 1635, then in business as a merchant of London, of the parish of S. Botolph, Boshops Gate, in which instrument he mentions "Malachy Brownyng my sonne." To him he bequeaths his messuages in Maldon.(footnote 2: P.P.C Sadler, 35) The will was proven a few days after its date as the testator was sick when it was drawn. In April, 1645, he was an appraiser of an estate in Massachusetts, and he probably removed to the Vineyard during the next year or early in 1647, as on Oct. 13, 1647, he is called "late of Watertown in New England, Gent."(footnote 3: Aspinwall Notarial Records, 94) On Oct. 27, 1649, he was in Boston on legal business in connection with his brother-in-law, Joseph Collier of London. At the same time Mrs. Elizabeth Scott was there also on similar business with her husband Robert Scott. (footnote 4: Ibid., 226) In an inventory of the estate of Adam Winthrop, 1652, there is an item of a debt due from "Mr" Browning, and a like entry under date of March 10, 1652-3, in an account of the estate of Robert Bulton of Boston.(footnote 1, pg. 48: N. E. Gen Register, VIII, 59) His activities on the Vineyard were very slight. The first and only record of him is under date of May 8, 1653, when he was given a share in the planting field.(footnote 2: Edgartown Records , I, 172) His homestead on which he drew this was the first lot on Tower Hill, south of the "Slough" and was apparently part of a lot of which John Daggett owned the western half and Browning the harbor end. On a visit ot Boston he died "at the house of Robert Scott", Nov. 27, 1653, thus terminating a short and uneventful career in New England. (footnote 3: Boston Town Records) His occupation while on the island is shrouded in obscurity, and all clues to his connection with persons on the island end in unsatisfactory threads. A "Mrs" Scott, presumably the wife of Robert, above referred to, appears in 1663 and 1664, as an owner of a share of land at Great Harbor. Conjectures as to relationship withour Browning may be easily entertained, but we are left without any recourse to confirmation as she disappears as suddenly from the scene, leaving no trace. His known family consisted of a wife Mary, a daughter Susanna, who by her marriage with William Vinson became the ancestress of all the Vincents here, and a son Daniel. The wife was probably born Mary Collier, sister of Joseph Collier, citizen and grocer of London, who in 1648 left a bequest to "my sister Mrs. Mary Browning in New England."(footnote 4: N. E. Hist. Gen. Register, I, 58) Of the son Daniel, but few traces remain. In view of the standing of the family, an uncle perhaps a clergyman in Engalnd it is fair to presume that this Daniel may have served in a clerical capacity in the twon after the decease of the younger Mayhew. The following entry in the records seems to point to that conclusion:-- February 26, 1659 Ordered by the town that what charge shall arise for the finishing of Mr. Brownings house more than the first covenant shall be paid in corne at harvest.(footnote 5: Edgartown Records, I, 14.) The building of a house was usually one of the things done for ministers by towns and the 'covenant' probably refers ot an agreement made when he was settled. How long he remained is not known, and like all others connected with the first settler he disappears without leaving a trace. Malachi Browning had a 'mansion seat' a little disance south of Burying Hill fronting the harbor. In what maner it passed from his estate into the possession of Thomas Trapp is not known, but it may indicate some relationship.(footnote 1, pg. 49: There is a tradition that Susanna Browning sold Tower Hill for a pair of gloves or some equally trivial consideration. While nothing in the records justifies sugh a legend, as the Browning lot was some distance south of Towre Hill, yet there may be enough truth in the story to account for the appearance of Trapp in 1684 as owner of the ten acres.) Apparently the widow only had her 'thirds', which she deeded as a gift to her grandson, Thomas Vincent. (footnote 2: Edgartown Records, p. 82, dated July 12, 1669. The widow survived until Sept. 7, 1672, and the inventory of her estate showed property to the value of L22-7-5, which was administrated by her son-in-law Vinson. Her daughter Susanna makes several references to her property rights in England, and it is presumed to relate to the estate in Essex to which the father had made claim as above related.'

Pope says he married daughter, "Martha." Some records state that all of the children born of John and Mary Tompkins were actually born of Martha Tompkins. (As a widower, he married sister of deceased wife.) Also it is unclear if Martha was half-sister to Mary or sister. Some say second wife of Mary's father was Martha's mother. Was in Salem in 1649 according to Pope. Generally thought he was there earlier. Research: THE PIONEERS OF MASSACHUSETTS by Pope, pages 173, 457. PASSENGERS TO AMERICA, p. 177.

Elizabeth Isaac 1639 in Weymouth, Norfolk, Massachusetts. 785. Elizabeth Isaac, born 1612 in Weymouth, Norfolk, Massachusetts; died October 1690 in Edgartown, Marthas Vineyard, Dukes, MA. She was the daughter of 1570. Joseph Isaac and 1571. Elizabeth. Notes for Nicholas Norton: The ancestor of the numerous family of this name on the Vineyard was born about 1610 [He test ified that he was aged sixty­six years in 1676. (Dukes County Court Records, Vol. l)], probab ly in England, although the place of his nativity is not known. [There is a will of Robert No rton of Wells, Somersetshire, dated Sept. 29, 1590 who mentions his nephew Nicholas. (17, St . Barbe.) This is too early for our settler, but may be a clue to the family.] It will probab ly be found upon investigation that he emigrated from Somersetshire, and perhaps came from th e vicinity of Batcombe or Broadway in that county, and there is some reason for inferring tha t he was one of the party of colonists accompanying the Rev. John Hull in 1635 to New England . [Rev. Mr. Hull brought twenty families from the vicinity of Batcombe and Broadway, and in 1 639 Nicholas Norton had some business dealings with one Standerwyck, a clothier of Broadway i n the County of Somerset. In 1640 he had a suit at law with Parson Hull.] He first appears a t Weymouth, Mass., in 1637, where he married his wife Elizabeth, and in which place he mainta ined a residence for twenty years prior to his removal to the Vineyard. That he was of a social station somewhat above the average appears from the fact that he kep t a servant, whose "miscariages" brought the subject of this sketch into trouble in 1658 wit h the magistrates of Massachusetts. The following petition explains the case as related by Ni cholas Norton himself to the General Court:- To the Honord Genll Court now assembled the Petition of Nicholas Norton humbly Sheweth: That whereas yor poore peti'or stood engaged to the Treasurer in the sume of five pounds to b ring in his servant to a County Court held at Boston to give answer for sume miscariages Comi tted, which accordingly he did, at which Court yor poore peti'ors servant was also pr'sente d by the grand-Jury either for the same or for some other offenses, the Court was then please d, to deferre the Issue of the Case, & to require the Coutynuatio of the sd bond of yor poor e peti'or, where upon he did agayne engage himselfe in the foresd sume to bring in his sd ser vant to the last Court of assistants, but in regard he was under a pr'sentment, expected to h ave him sent for by warrens & that wittnesses should also have bin sent for to prove the sam e as is usueall in case of pr'sentments, where upon vor poore peti'r, through Ignorance of th e manner of Courts p'ceedinges in such Cases hath forfeited his foresd bond. Now although yor peti'r cannot blame any but himselfe, vet is bold to Crave the favour of thi s Honrd Court, that the forfeiture may not be required of yor poore peti'r, but short you wou ld be pleased (out of yr woonted tendernes in offenses which p'ceed meerely out of Ignorance , to remits the same or so much of it as in yr wisdome you shall thinke meet, hopeing you wil l the rather be moved hereunto considering the great loss yor poore peter hath sustayned in t he service of the Country in Collecting of the Country rate which he hopes is vet in yor mynd s, & that the delinquent is ready when required suffer the Just sentence of the Court accordi ng to the merritt of his offenses, which if the Lord move yr harts to grannt it will abundant ly engage yr poore pet'r ever to pray. [Mass. Archives, XXXIX, 39.] The Court granted his petition providing he should bring his servant to bar. Of his life in Weymouth but little is worthy of mention. He shared in the division of lands i n 1651, and was constable in 1657, an office of some distinction in those times. Two years la ter he was still called "of Weymouth," and in the same year his name first appears in the rec ords of Edgartown. This may be taken as the probable date of his removal to the Vineyard. H e was chosen a referee to represent the town in its controversy with John Daggett respectin g his farm at Oak Bluffs. On Aug. 22, 1659, "Goodman" Norton was granted "a Lott of forty acres of Land" and on the sam e day it was" ordered by the town that Goodman Norton shall have Liberty to make use of any P ond about the Ox Pond for his Trade, except the Great Ponds." It does not appear what trade N icholas Norton followed, but the use of ponds suggests that he may have been a tanner. Befor e the end of that year, he was engaged in two lawsuits as a plaintiff and a defendant. He wa s sued by Henry Goss in that year and was mulcted in the sum of five shillings "for charges a bout the cure of Mr. Gousse's child: to pay one half in Wampam current and halfe in come an d five shillings to the constable for the Tryall about the abuse of Mr. Gousse's child." Th e exact nature of this suit at law is not clear from the records. In that same year he sued t he Rev. Mr. Cotton, missionary to the Indians. In 1661 he was one of a committee to buy lan d of the Indians for the use of the town. In 1662­63 and 1669, he again appears in litigatio n with various townsmen, and if not a pattern in this respect, his fence was deemed the patte rn and lawful standard to which others were required to conform in the maintenance of boundar y fences in the town. [Edgartown Records, I, III, 138.] In 1666 he was forbidden by the propr ietors of the fish weir from taking any fish at Mattakeesett Creek, the right to which he cla imed by purchase from the sachem Tewanticut, "contrary to our patent," upon a penalty of £5 y early so often as he disobeys the order. [Ibid., I, 144.] In 1673 he joined in the " Dutch Re bellion " with others of his townsmen, and when it had collapsed he was tried and convicted . The following is the record in the case.:- Whereas Nicolas Norton upon Commission from the Right honorable Sr Edmond Andros Knight Gover nor of New York &c hath beene before the Court legally convicted of oppugning the Governmen t established here under his Majestie wherein he acknowledgeth that he is ashamed and Sorry i n his heart that he was Misled therein and hopes he shall be more careful for the future: Th e Court by virtue of the said Commission do adjudge the said Nicolas Norton to make a publiqu e acknowledgment of the same at this Court and at the next quarterly Court holden at 'Martha s Vineyard: or to pay the summe of fifty one pounds as a fine to the Country. [Dukes County D eeds, I, 65.] In 1685 he was one of a committee "chosen to make the Govenors Rate" and this is his last app earance on the town records before his death. [Edgartown Records, I, 39.] There is no consolidated record of his real estate holdings such as was entered by others pro prietors. He lived on his forty­acre grant situated north of the Great Swamp and south of th e present road to West Tisbury. He was an early owner of land at Sanchacantackett in the vici nity of Major's Cove, where his descendants for two centuries resided and improved that beaut iful estate. These purchases were made of the Indians Wampamag or "Sam" and Thomas Sisseton , both of which are unrecorded, though it is said that the original deed from "Sam" was in ex istence in recent years in the hands of a descendant. It is not believed that he ever reside d on this property. He also held the usual proprietor's shares in the various divisions of to wn lands, besides a plot of meadow land at Aquampache. At the ripe age of four score years Ni cholas Norton died, leaving four sons and six daughters, at least two of whom were born in We ymouth. Following is a copy of his will dated April I7, 1690:- [Court Records, Vol. I, 1690.] The last will and testament of me Nicolas Norton Being very weak in body but of perfect under standing and Souend memory After my death and desent Christian burial: I give and bequest m y worry good as foloeth:- Iprimes: I give my Son Izak Norton on half Comminig as also fouer Small Shares of medow Secondly I give my Son Benjamin Norton all my medow at Saniacantick as also my medow at Morth als neck beach from the Crick dug into the Great pond westward as also my now dwelling hone s and all my land aioyning to my Sayd houes after the deces of my wife Elizabeth Norton as al so my lots at quompasha with all my devided land Elsewhere: provided my Sayd Son Beniamin del iver up his now dweling houes to my now wife Elizabeth Norton with the land aioyning to the S ayd houes: to be at my Sayd wifes sole will and pleseuer to dispose of at or before her deses e, as also all that medow I have from a Creek to Izak Norton Medow thirdly.

He married her probably in Weymouth, and she must b e sought for in that locality. Their descendants have constituted one of the largest familie s on the island from the earliest times. [A century ago there were thirty­three separate fami lies bearing this name on the Vineyard, the second largest numerically at that time.] ----------------------------------------------- Possible ancestry of Nicholas Norton: Of the first of the name on the Vineyard, Nicholas Norton, a full biographical sketch has bee n given in this history (Vol. II, pp. 85-90 Annals of E.) , and nothing of mate rial importance about him has been found since that was written except the statements which f ollow concerning his English ancestry. [*One fact is worthy of record as being recently disco vered. He served in the Pequot War, 1635-7 as shown by a petition of himself and others. (Sup . Jud. Court Mss. No. 477).] The opinion hazarded in the sketch of his life above referred to that Nicholas "emigrated fro m Somersetshire and probably came from the vicinity of Batcombe or Broadway in that county" h as been established to the satisfaction of the author after a long search of all the known so urces of records which might throw light on the case. His business dealings with Richard Stan derwicke, a clothier, of the parish of Broadway, has proved to be the important clue in locat ing this prominent pioneer as a resident and probable native of the same parish. [*Standerwic ke sold to Norton in 1639 "all the cattle whether Bowes, steers or calves, whatsoever I hav e with Mr. Hull in New England." (Plymouth Col. Rec.). The Standerwick family have been Lord s of the Manor in Broadway for over four hundred years and possessed their memorial records f or four centuries. I am indebted to the Rev. Mr. Standerwick for assistance in my search an d notes from his family records on the Norton family.] The Norton family was long settled in Somersetshire where the name was generally spelled Nour ton and Nurton in the earlier records, and there are references to them as early as 1400 in w ills and deeds. They are to be found in more than a dozen different parishes in that county b efore 1600, including the parish of Broadway. Wills, depositions, chancery suits, and other d ocuments of the 16th century show that a Norton family, tanners, lived at White Lackington, a n adjoining hamlet of Broadway, and the fact that Nicholas Norton of Edgartown was a tanner i s quite significant. [*John Norton of White Lackington, a tanner, was a witness to the will o f John Standerwick of Broadway in 1568, but the Manor Rolls of 1555 do not contain his name . William Norton wee churchwarden of Ilminster in 1543, a still earlier record of the famil y in that vicinity.] In those days occupations were continued in families from generation t o generation. The first known ancestor of Nicholas Norton was WILLIAM NORTON, tanner, of White Lackington a bout 1540 described as the eldest of the family, but his parentage is unknown. He had two you nger brothers, JOHN, also a tanner who made his will in 1576, and ROBERT NORTON, who took u p his residence in the cathedral city of Wells where he followed the occupation of innholde r and was at the date of his death (1590) without issue. He left considerable property to hi s nephews. WILLIAM NORTON of White Lackington was born abt. 1535 and was living in 1604 in Broadway. H e had among other children two sons, namely: I. NICHOLAS, b. 1562._II. WILLIAM, executor of the will of his uncle, Robert of Wells. Robert Norton of parish of S. Cuthbert, Wells, innholder, at his decease had four water mills , which he disposed of by will dated 1590, viz: two to his wife and two to his brother Willia m. In 37 Elizabeth (1594) Joan the widow, William and Nicholas began suit against William Norto n the executor, and litigation was continued by John, the son of Nicholas. The latter had fol lowed the prosecution of this suit for 22 years, according to the complaint of John, to the r uin of his estate and in the end "sickened & died with great greife & anguishe of mince leavi nge behinde him a poor widdowe and 8 children (1616) whereof yor subject is the eldest, but n ot one pennye towards their reliefe & maintenance other than the hopes of the said decree, b y means of whose death his wiffe & children have nott only lost a careful! pvider for them bu t also a possibilitie of an estate wch the said Nicholas had, after the said William the exec utor, worth at least 200 marks." [*Star Chamber Proceedings, (James I) 221/10, John Norton o f Broadway, Chapman, plaintiff vat William Norton et als defendants. The compiler has much ot her material on this family, which is omitted for want of space. Doubtless the complete pedig ree of this family could be worked out in England from the authors' notes.] NICHOLAS NORTON, the father of the emigrant, removed from White Lackington with his father wh en a child, and died there at the age of 54 years (1616) as described in the chancery suit. T hat he was a man above the average is shown by the fact of his occupying the position of chur ch warden of the parish (1599) but as the parish register does not exist prior to 1678 it i s not possible at present to determine the names of but half of his eight children. The attes ted copies of parish registers then required by church law preserved the names of three of th em and the chancery suit furnishes the name of his eldest son. Unfortunately, the Bishops Tra nscripts of Broadway Parish in the Diosceasan Registry at Wells for the years 1609-11 inclusi ve, the particular years in which we should undoubtedly find the baptism of our Nicholas whos e birth fell, as we know, within those years are missing from the files. His known children a re as follows: I. JOHN, b. abt. 1590._II. JOAN, bur. 1598._III. JAMES (?) bur. 1678 at Broadway._IV. JOSEPH , bapt. 3 Feb. 1607._V. NICHOLAS, b. 1610 (the emigrant). He deposed in 1676 aged 66 years._V I. ELIZABETH, bapt. 1612. The occurrence of the names Joseph and Nicholas in the Broadway family which were also distin ctive in the Vineyard family together with other collateral circumstances makes it practicall y certain that we have here the parentage and home of the first of this family to settle on M artha's Vineyard. Al1 other clues have been carefully followed out and give no such marked co mbination of the probabilities as does this, and the author is satisfied that it is the righ t solution. Broadway, situated in the Hundred of Bulstone, is so-called, because it consists of one wid e street leading from Ilminster two miles distant to the Forest of Roche on the West. It ha s about fifty houses with about 300 population and two religious edifices, one belonging to t he Church of England, dedicated to S. Aldhelm, where the parents of Nicholas Norton worshippe d, and a dissenting chapel of which latter named the present minister is the Rev. John W. Sta nderwick, a direct descendant of the Richard Standerwick, who had the business dealings wit h Nicholas Norton. [*Edward Poole, who was a neighbor of Nicholas Norton in Weymouth, was a n emigrant from Broadway also.] Notes for Elizabeth Isaac: His widow did not long survive to carry out the provisions of her husband's will.

Notes for Nathaniel Wyer: EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK "HISTORY OF HAMPTON NEW HAMPSHIRE" by Joseph Dow NATHANIEL WEARE'S The inhabitants of Hampton and of the other towns in the province, had, with few exceptions, refrained from joining Edward Gove in his quixotic attempt to reform the government; but they could not be insensible to the tyranny of Governor Cranfield. They ever had been, and still were, ready to assist in suppressing acts of revellion; but they were not prepared to yield to oppression without a struggle. they regarded it as their right to pour their complaints into the ears of the king, and to ask for redress. But under Cranfield's administration, it was dangerous, even to complain. Still, this appeared the only proper course to be pursued, and after some consultation, it was adopted. So careful and so cautious had been the movements of the leading men, that their agent had been selected, funds had been raised to meet his expenses, and he had left the province, and was already at Boston, about to embark for England, before the governor was aware of their design. The agent, selected and sent on this important mission, was NATHANIEL WEARE, Esq., a leading citizen of Hampton. The confidence thus reposed in him indicates thathe had the reputation of being a man of ability, prudence and integrity; and the result showed that their confidence had not been misplaced. Fear of being detained by the governor, constrained MR. WEARE to hasten to Boston, without waiting to obtain such evidence as would be needed to substantiate the charges to be brought against Governor Cranfield. he was accoumpained to Boston by Maj. William Vaughan, of Portsmouth, and to him was intrusted the important service of procuring depositions to be forwarded to England; but, on his return from Boston, he was immediately areested by the governor's order, and committed to prison, where he was confined nine months, much to the detriment, not only of his own private interests, but to those of and oppressed people, as this prevented him from obtaining the evidence necessary for the agent. Other individuals, indeed, undertook the work that had been assigned to Mr. Vaughan, but they were denied access to the public records, and when they applied to the governor to summon and swear witnesses for them, their request was not granted. Hence it was necessary to go out of the province to have the depositions properly authenticated. When, therefore, Mr. Weare arrived in England, he was not prepared to bring his complaints to the king, at once; but after waiting a considerable time for depositions from home, and waiting in vain, he ventured to prefer some general charges against Governor Cranfield. By this means, a way was opened for procuring, in a few months, the needful evidence, for, the complaint having been referred to the Board of Trade, they transmitted a copy to the accused, that he might prepare a defense; and at the same time ordered him to allow the complainants access to the records, and to afford them every facility for obtaining and authenticating evidence. However humiliating this order might be, it was from such a source, that he dared not disobey. As he was charged with not following the instructions of his commission, concerning Mason's claims, but allowing those claims to be tried in courts not properly constituted, he immediately, upon the receipt of this communication from the Board of Trade, suspended the suits that had been brought, till a decision, as to the legality of the courts, should be made by the proper authorities. The agent in England, having received from home, the evidence needed, presented his charges in a new and more specific form. A hearing was at length had before the Lords of Trade (March 10, 1685), who reported to the king "that Cranfield had not pursured his instructions with regard to Mason's controversy; but instead thereof, had caused courts to be held and titles to be decided, with exorbitant costs; and that he had exceeded his power in regulating the value of coins'" The agent had brought other charges against the governor, but in relation to them, the Lords of Trade expressed no opinion. The report, as made, was accepted by the king in council. Children of Nathaniel Wyer and Sarah Gooche are: i. Esther Wyer, born 1627. ii. Hester Wyer, born Abt. 1629. iii.

John was admitted as freeman at Watertown on Dec. 6, 1636. On the earliest known list of the proprietors of Watertown (1636/7), are four with the name Smith, John Sen?r, John Jr, Thomas and Francis. His homestall of 18 acres was bounded south east by Bank Lane; south west by R. Browne and W. Barsham; north west by Division line; north east by S. Hosier. In 1645, John Sr?s. land was described as being adjacent to John Benjamin?s land. It is probable that John and Isabella were the parents of John and Thomas, and perhaps of Francis and Daniel. Isabella Smith, wife of John, was buried in Watertown on Oct. 12, 1639, age 60 years. John died in Watertown on July 12, 1639, also aged 60 years. Text from source: History of Martha's Vineyard - Annals of Edgartown Pages 42, 43, 44, 45, 46. Mr. John Bland has bought of John Pease of Martins Vineyard a parcell of Land about ten acres & two acres of medo Lying against Mr Blands house at Mattakeekset. March 23, 1646. Mem : Mr. John Bland bought of Philip Tabor March 2, 1647 all his rights that he then possessed. He was a resident of Colchester, England, prior to his emigration to New England, and it seems that for reason which will be explained later in this sketch, he had adopted the alias of John Smith, under which name he would in all probability successfully defy identification. He is undoubtedly the John Smith associated with the Mayhews in the first movement from Watertown, of whom we hear no more in subsequent Vineyard History, as he resumed his correct name when he established himself here. Certain it is, that there was some controversy about him and his identity as two of his early acquaintances, Nathaniel and Abraham Drake of Hampton, N.H., deposed that "he was sometimes called John Smith, but his name and his ancestors was Bland." (deeds, I, 282) His known family consisted of Joanna his wife and two daughters Annabel and Isabel, both married, and that his station in life was above the average of his neighbors here is evidenced by the prefix of distinction, Mr., which uniformly precedes his name in the records. His wife is given the prefix of Mistress also, and with Nicholas Butler he is the only one besides the elder and younger Mayhew so distinguished by a title which had a definite significance in those days. (Records, Commissioners of United Colonies, II, 205, 261. For "healpfulness in Phisicke and Chirurgery att Martin's Vineyard" and "for her pains and care amongst the Indians there for Phisicke and Surgery." His wife was paid a gratuity by the Society for Propagating the Gospel. In 1654, John Bland was chosen one of the seven magistrates to assist the elder Mayhew in the government, but beyond this it is not known that he held any office. He participated in all the divisions of land up to the time of his death and his possessions are thus recorded in the town books: -- These are the petickelers upon the Vineyard of my Known Lands and are above Intended: Twenty acres of Land Lying near the North pond with two acres of Meadow Joyning: which Land and Meadow More of Less Bounded By the pond on the East, the Comon on the South, the Comon on the West, John Bland on the North: with Ten acres of Land Lying in the Planting feild Bounded with . . . . with one Ten acre Lott upon the Line Bounded with . . . . with two acres of Meadow Lying at Chapequideck Bounded By . . . . : with a full Right of Comonage a Children of John Bland and Isabella Drake are: 396 i.

He married 795. Phebe Leete. 795. Phebe Leete, born December 20, 1585 in Little Eversden, Cambridgeshire, England; died Bef. 1641 in Watertown, Middlesex, Ma.. She was the daughter of 1590. Robert Leete and 1591. Alice Grundy. Notes for George Parkhurst: GEORGE PARKHURST (John, Christopher, George) was born abut 1588, probably in Ipswich, England. About 1611-12, he married Phebe Leete, the daughter of Robert and Alice (Grundy) Leete of Eversden, Carnbridgeshire. Phebe was baptized at Little Eversden on 20 December 1585, the youngest of seven children. They lived in Ipswich where their children were baptized, but after the last one until their departure for England, there is no record of them and they may have lived elsewhere. George Parkhurst first appears in New England on record at Watertown in 1642 when it was ordered that a highway should be laid out by his house. He is not mentioned in the four grants of land between 25 July 1636 and 9 April 1638. When he arrived and whether he brought with him his wife Phebe is unknown. If he brought her, she died shortly, for about 1644, he remarried to Susanna Simson, the widow of John Simson, who was buried at Watertown on 10 June 1643, leaving two sons and three daughters. By this marriage, George Parkhurst acquired most of the real estate of the deceased. She deeded some of it 9 November 1643 and George Parkhurst sold two acres of it on 16 November 1644, indicating that they married between these dates. He soon left Watertown for Boston where he made the following deed: 4 October 1645 - George Parkhurst of Boston sold to John Cooledge and Thomas Hastings of Watertown 6 acres bought of Hue Mason of Watertown for a valuable summe of come (1:3 1) On 13 June 1655, he sold the last twelve acres of what had been John Simson's land for £21. This last conveyance was made by permission of the General Court, granted 23 May 1655 in response to his petition in which he asserts that he was then near 67 years old, that he and his wife and most of her children were in destitute condition, that she had had ten children during her twenty years residence in America -seven sons and three daughters (five sons by Parkhurst therefore), that she had gone to London, England with six of her children but found her mother, brothers and sisters unable to do what she had expected, that four of her children had remained in America, and that the petitioner desired to sell the land (apparently all that remained) in order that he might go to the aid of his wife. He probably returned to England as soon as possible after the deed of 13 June 1655, his last act on record in New England. He was probably the Old George Parkhurst buried 18 June 1675 at Saint Lawrence, lpswich, England. He may have been living with his cousin Nathanial Parkhurst, who had six hearths in the Suffolk Hearth Tax of 1674. The children she took back to England probably remained and grew up there, never returning to America, except Benjamin who, if he was taken back, apparently returned as a young man to his American brothers and sisters and then migrated to New Jersey. A letter of 25 June 1669 from George Jr. to his cousin requesting payment to his brother Benjamin of £5 of the £20, which would be due him from his Aunt Dalton (his legacy), shows that Benjamin lived to maturity, had dealings with his brother, and was probably then in New England, further support to the identity of the Benjamin Parkhurst in New Jersey the next year. The letter follows: Loveing Cousn Bashelder: after my kynde love remembered to you and all the rest of my frinds, these fue lines are to desire you if you plese to paye unto my brother Benjamen, fife pounds of that twenty which will bee due to me from my ant Dolton, which I understand you are to paye; and if you will plese so to doue, this shall be your discharge for that fife pounds. as witnese my hand.

She died without surviving children and left legacies to six of the children of her sister Phebe, suggesting that Samuel, John and Abigail had died young. Timothy Dalton and Ruth Leete were married on 13 June 1615 at Gislingham, Suffolk, where Ruth had cousins. Thus, Phebe was nee Leete.

James Kenyon, born 1633 in Droyleston, Manchester, Lancashire, England; died 1670 in South Kingston, Ri.. He was the son of 1600. John Kenyon. He married 801. Ester Smith May 02, 1654 in Oldham Parish Church, Lancashire, England. 801. Ester Smith, born 1633 in Oldham, Lancashire, England; died 1715 in South Kingston, Ri.. She was the daughter of 1602. John Smith and 1603. Sarah Sherman. Notes for James Kenyon: The Baptist Church at Potter Hill, RI (the First Sabbatarian Church) was the one to which many of the early Kenyons belonged. IN RI when Hopkinton was set off from Westerly, it left those Kenyons who settled in Charlestown with their former land records in Westerly and church records in Hopkinton In the record of marriage of James KENYON (I) it is stated that he was a linen weaver at the time of his marriage and resided in Droylsden in the parish of Manchester. The record also states that his wife was a spinster, daughter of John Smith within Glodwick, in the parish of Oldham, and that both James KENYON (I) and his wife were about the age of one and twenty years at the date of their marriage. All recorded births of his children show him as a resident of Glodwick after his marriage. There is no record of his death in RI. The dates of birth and names of his children and grandchildren conclusively prove his identity. Since there are many grandchildren in this family named Hannah, it is most likely that such was the name of the MUMFORD wife of John KENYON (1) and that the church record entry was of the old style spelling corresponding to the characteristic English pronunciation of Hannah with the silent `H'. He may have come to RI from Mud River (now known as `Brookline') MA. The elder son, John, may have followed or preceded the family to America by way of Virginia on the `Thomas and John' from England. The passenger list for the `Thomas and John' bound for Virginia, lists two Kenyons, Jo: and Geo:. The entry `Jo:' is believed to be that of John KENYON. No current knowledge is known regarding the `Geo:' entry by this author. Some family folklore is available that states that John and George were sent by the eldest son of the family, to find their riches, in the new land of America. Children of James Kenyon and Ester Smith are: 400 i. John Kenyon, born April 26, 1655 in Oldham, England; died 1732 in Westerly, RI; married Anna Mumford Abt. 1680 in Oldham, England. ii.

He was the son of 1604. Thomas Mumford and 1605. Ann Remington. He married 803. Sarah Sherman 1655 in South Kingston, Ri.. 803. Sarah Sherman, born April 26, 1636 in Roxbury, MA; died Bet. 1718 - 1719 in Kingston, Washington, Rhode Island. She was the daughter of 1606. Phillip Sherman and 1607. Sarah Odding. Notes for Thomas Mumford: Thomas MUMFORD Sr.68,69 was born about 1625.(70) He died in Feb 1692.(71) He was a polititian and planter.(72) He was Church of England.(73) In 1650, Thomas Mumford, who was of the Church of England, came to Rhode Island, where there had been established religious tolerance, granting its inhabitants freedom from religious strife. In 1655, he married Sarah Sherman, whose father was the Secretary to the Colony. Thomas Mumford could be described as having a rigorous build, standing 6' tall, forceful, hasty in his tempy, just, and of good esteem among men. He was the High Constable from 1683 to 1686, a position in those early days that was given to men of good physical parts. The early history of Narragansett is closely identified with Thomas Mumford and his family. He settled at Portsmouth in the north of the Island of Aquidneck (Rhode Island). At the time, there was much turmoil over Gov. Coddington's "usurpation" within the Colony. Cromwell's Parliament granted Rhode Island freedom from Coddington's claims, which autocratic claims Thomas had protested. In 1657, he joined with four other enterprising men and traveled down into Narragansett country and bought up in equal shares the "great Pettaquamscutt purchase." This land covered all the country that is now included in North and South Kinston. The Chiefs of Narragansetts sold the property; it was not a grant, which was common in those days. The Sachems' names were Quiassaquanah, Kachanaquant and Quequaquinnet. Thomas Mumford was not always at peace with those in power. In 1664, Thomas and a neighbor accused another person of "speaking words of a very dishonourable nature against His Majesty [Charles II]," which, in those days, was a very serious charge and was bitterly resented. This lead to Thomas' imprisonment without trial. This lasted a few days, when he was released on bail. Betweem 1658 and 1668, there was a serious conflict between Connecticut and Rhode Island as to the jurisdiction of the Narragansett country, in which Thomas Mumford was involved. On March 15, 1668, he sold 1,000 acres of upland and meadow in Pettaquamscutt for 25 pounds. Thomas was appointed High Sheriff in October 1664 and served for eight years. As Sheriff and a man of war, in 1670 he escorted a party of Rhode Island-appointed commissioners to Connecticut. Although it was only a one-day journey, it was through rough and dangerous land, where wolves and Pequod Indians roamed freely. One traveled fearful and armed to the teeth. Thomas' daugther married Benedict Arnold, who turned a traitor on the Colonies in the Revolutionary War. He gave some of his land in South Kingstown, RI, to his son-in-law, John Kenyon. Thomas died intestate in February 1692, and his son, Thomas Jr., distributed his estate, which was in the Pettaquamscott Purchase. SOURCES 63. Stratton, Bertha L.. Transatlantic Shermans.

He was a little over 18 when his father died. His father's will said that he and his brother John were to receive their inheritance immediately, and provided that the children should be educated until age 21 (and the daughters to age 21 or until marriage). He received 40 acres of land at Black Point. On 3 March 1656/1657 Samuel was received as an inhabitant of Portsmouth, and was made a freeman of the colony on 18 May 1658, having already been made a freeman of Portsmouth. Samuel was part of the group who purchased land at Conanicut (later Jamestown) Island from the Indians in March 1656/1657. Samuel became a member of the Society of Friends before his first marriage in October 1662. He married (1) Sarah Wodell, and (2) Susanna Spatchurst. He had two surviving daughters named Elizabeth, his first child and his last. Samuel Sanford, age 73, made his will on 30 April 1709; he was "weak in body" and had to sign the will by mark. Witnesses: friends Adam Lawton, Job Tripp, and Thomas Cornell Jr. It was proved 13 April 1713. Samuel seems to have disposed of most of his property before 1709, because all his legacies to his children were in the form of small amounts of money. Wife Susanna was executrix.

Mary 1672 in Rhode Island. 821. Mary Notes for Joseph Reynolds: Joseph Reynolds was born on November 6, 1652 in Plymouth Colony, Massachusetts. His parents were James and Deborah Potter Reynolds. He was married in 1672 in Rhode Island to a woman named Mary who died sometime before 1700. Joseph died in June 1739, probably in Exeter, Rhode Island. According to tradition, he married young, and they left to settle in the great plain west of North Kingston, Rhode Island some years before King Phillip?s War. Supposedly, they were warned by friendly Indians at the beginning of the war and left. When they returned to their homestead after the war, the property was covered with feathers, the Indians having ripped open their bedding. His first wife Mary died, and he married again, around 1700, a woman named Mercy. In July of 1679, he signed a petition to the King. His name is on a tax list in 1687. In 1713 and 14, he and wife Mercy deeded land to his sons. He was called ?Big Joe?, due to his strength. He left a will, which was damaged by fire in 1870.

George Lawton and 1647. Elizabeth Hazard. Notes for John Babcock: Tradition says that John and his wife, Mary, eloped from Newport, settled upon the east bank of the Pawcatuck River, on Massatuxet Cove (what is now Avondale, town of Westerly RI) with no neighbors but the friendly Indians and that they were not discovered by their parents for several years. Much poetry and romance have been written upon this tradition, but as no history has been found to establish it as a fact, and as authentic records seem clearly to disprove the statement, we must class the elopement story as fiction. John was propounded a freeman of the Colony of Connecticut May 14, 1676, and later was admitted a freemen. John Badcock and his father were members of the Misquamicut Company and went there with the first permanent settlers. At that time John was about eighteen years of age. He received an apportionment of land and the same as other settlers. He settled in Westerly on the banks of the Pawcatuck River, near what is now Avondale, RI, and his oldest son, James, inherited and occupied the homestead. Some of the homestead land was still occupied by descendants of John in 1903.l In 1675 King Philip's War broke out, and most of the pioneers of Westerly were obliged to flee from their homes and take refuge on the island of Rhode Island. By Sept. and Oct. 1676 they had begun to return to their abandoned lands and to rebuild their ruined houses and barns. The indications are that John Babcock and his family remained in their home in Westerly, which was across the river from Connecticut, and as he could have no protection from Rhode Island sought the protection of Connecticut. From the time of its settlement, Westerly was claimed by both Rhode Island and Connecticut, and Connecticut did not relinquish her claim to the town until 1728. Traditions says that John Volunteered with the Connecticut Militia, which was organized for protection against the Indians; that in King Philip's War he was with the Connecticut Militia in the 'Great Swamp Fight', Dec. 19, 1675,m and that his son Elihu was born at that time. After King Philip's War was over, and the white settlers of Westerly had returned to their homes, John Badcock was elected Conservator of the Peace for Westerly, June 12, 1678. He was Deputy from Westerly to the Colonial Legislature in 1682 and 1684. He died intestate (1685) and a will disposing of his estate was made by the Town Council. The inventory of the personal property amounted to 790 pounds and was the largest recorded in the town for many years. By law the oldest son, James, received all the real estate, one half of which he conveyed by deed to his mother. The widow received one third of the personal property, the remaining two thirds being divided equally among the nine younger children. Wm.E.

They were both born in England. His parents settled in Lynn, Massachusetts where Francis was born. ---Francis and Susanna Wast had ten children. They were all born in North Kingston, Washington County, Rhode Island. The old name was Kingstown. ---This family name has a variety of spellings in the public records: Wast, West, Waste, Weast being common variants. Of the four "West" families in Plymouth Colony only this family has its surname used in forms other than West suggesting that the original name, while phonetically similar, was distinct from West. ---Children: i. Francis West II, born about 1660 in North Kingston,Washington County, Rhode Island. He married Sarah (Meakins) Millard on May 12, 1699 in East Greenwich, Kent, Rhode Island.

Martha Wast, born about 1676 in North Kingston, Rhode Island. She married Thomas Card on March 24, 1692. Later she married James Card on March 4, 1702 or 1703. He died about 1706. She then married Jeremiah Fones on Nov. 9, 1710 in Jamestown, Newport Co., Rhode Island. He died in 1747 in North Kingston, RI. Martha died on Dec. 2, 1764 in North Kingston, RI. vii. William Wast, born May 31, 1681 in North Kingstown, Washington Co., Rhode Island. He married Abiah Sprague about 1708 in Hingham, Plymouth Co., Mass. She was born about 1708. They had four children. Abiah died before April, 1721. Later, William married Jane Tanner about 1725. She was born about 1685 in North Kingston, Washington Co., Rhode Island.Together, they had eight children. William died about 1742. viii. Thomas Wast (Thomas Waste), born Sept. 18, 1684 in North Kingston, Rhode Island. He was the twin brother of Clement Wast. Thomas married Dorcas Rathbone on Sept. 20, 1716 in New Shoreham on Block Island, Washington Co., Rhode Island. She was born July 14, 1695 in North Kingston, Washington, Rhode Island. They had two sons, both born in New Shoreham, Block Island, Newport Co., Rhode Island. Their names were Ichabod Wast, born June 20, 1717 - 1718 and Thomas Wast, born June 26, 1720. Thomas Wast, senior, died about 1727. His last name was spelled 3 different ways. ix. Clement Wast (Clement West), born Sept. 18, 1684 in North Kingston, Washington County, Rhode Island. He was the twin brother of Thomas Wast. Clement married Sarah (last name unknown) about 1725 in North Kingston. She was born about 1688 in of North Kingston, Washington, Rhode Island. Clement died about 1749. Notes for Susanna Soule: Susanna Soule b. prob. Duxbury poss. ca. 1642; d. prob. Kingstown RI after 1684. She married prob. Plymouth Col. Francis Wast/West. The only proof that she m. Francis West is the dairy of Samuel West. He wrote that his great grandfather Francis West came to America soon after the first settlement at Plymouth and married a daughter of George Soule and that his sons were Francis, Thomas, Peter, William, Richard, Clement and John and daughters Martha ( who m. a Fones) and Susanna (who m. a Barber). Francis West may have lived in Plymouth Colony for up to 20 years, yet he apparently never owned any land. The only records which seem to apply to him are: The 29 Oct. 1668 court record where Philip, the sachem of Pocanokett requested justice against Francis Wast by Francis taking a gun from one of his men, etc. The case was referred to the Selectmen of Taunton. On 1 June 1669 the court ordered Francis Wast pay 30 shillings to the Indians for the hog he took and to return the gun to them. This would seem to indicate he was living in or near Taunton at this time. They may have left Plymouth Colony at the time of King Philip's War or perhaps when George Soule died and left only a pence apiece to Susanna and Mary. As they seem older than Elizabeth and Patience, this many be an intentional slight. (As we can see from the value of the hog above, this might buy one pork roast.) In the 6 Sept. 1687 tax list of Kingstown RI, Francis Wast Sr., Francis Wast Jr. and Richard Wast were listed with only Francis Sr. being taxed 2 shillings, 1 pence. Other than the births of their last 3 children, these seem to be the only records of Francis and Susanna that have survived. The town of Kingstown RI was founded in 1674 (Col. Rec. of RI by Bartlett 2:525) so obviously the younger children were not born there. The early children were probably born in Plymouth Colony; last 3 born in Kingstown RI Children of Francis West and Susanna Soule are: i. Francis West, born Abt. 1660. ii. Richard West, born Abt. 1662. iii. Peter West, born Abt. 1668. 413 iv. Susanna West, born Abt. 1669 in North Kingston, RI; died April 04, 1758 in North Kingston, RI; married Moses Barber March 24, 1690/91 in Kingston, RI. v. John West, born Abt. 1672. vi. Martha West, born Abt. 1675. vii. William West, born May 31, 1681. viii. Clement West, born September 18, 1684. ix. Thomas West, born September 18, 1684. 828. Samuel Tefft, born 1644 in Providence, Ri.; died December 20, 1725 in South Kingston, RI. He was the son of 1656. John Tefft and 1657. Mary Barber. He married 829. Elizabeth Jenckes 1689 in Lynn, Ma.. 829. Elizabeth Jenckes, born 1658 in Lynn, MA; died May 12, 1740 in South Kingston, Ri.. She was the daughter of 1658. Joseph Jenckes and 1659. Hester Ester Ballard. Notes for Samuel Tefft: Samuel Tefft married Elizabeth Jenckes and they had ten children. Following King Philip's war Samuel settled on the land his father had acquired in part of the Pettaquamscutt Purchase. Some of this parcel of approximately five hundred acres remained among the descendants of Samuel until the early 20th century. Was born in the plantations of Rhode Island, at Kingston. His will Mar 16, 1725 mentions sons John,Samuel and Joseph also daughters Elizabeth Carpenter,Esther Mumford,Mary Newton, Susannah Crandall, Mercy Tefft and children of Sarah Witter deceased. Town council records for 20 Dec and 10 Jan 1725/6 has the probate delayed to Feb Meeting. Pg. 28 of Feb meeting, Samuel Tefft appeared before the Town Council and promised to give bond for the maintenence of his sister Tabitha Tefft. Joseph Tefft appeared before the Council and desired to appeal to the General Council. Notes for Elizabeth Jenckes: Sister of Joseph Jenckes, deputy-governor of RI from 1715-27. Children of Samuel Tefft and Elizabeth Jenckes are: 414 i. John Tefft, born 1676 in Kingston, RI; died Bef. June 21, 1769 in South Kingston, RI; married Joanna Sprague. ii. Peter Tefft, born February 19, 1677/78. iii. Solomon Tefft, born February 19, 1677/78. iv. Samuel Tefft, born 1685. v. Elizabeth Tefft, born September 29, 1687. vi.

Jonathon Sprague, born May 28, 1648 in Hingham, Ma.; died September 1741 in Smithfield, Ri.. He was the son of 1660. William Sprague and 1661. Millicent Eames. He married 831. Mehitable Holbrook July 20, 1670 in Weymouth, Ma.. 831. Mehitable Holbrook, born Bef. 1656 in Weymouth, Ma.; died October 29, 1719 in Smithfield, Ri.. She was the daughter of 1662. William Holbrook and 1663. Elizabeth Pitts. Notes for Jonathon Sprague: "Sprague Families in America", by W.V. Sprague, page 132. Jonathan Sprague went from Hingham to Mendon and in 1672 was livingnear his brother, John Sprague, and his father-in-law, WilliamHolbrook. In 1675 his father died and left him 60 acres in Providence.In 1680 he was taxed 1s, 7d at Providence. In 1687 his ratable estatewas 2 oxen, 6 cows, 2 mares, horse, 18 sheep, 8 acres planting groundand six acres meadow. On December 13, 1687 he was fined 6s 8d forrefusing to take the oath as a juryman. On July 2, 1695 he wasappointed on a committee by the Assembly to propose a method of makingrate; also with others to run the eastern line of the Colony. He was Deputy in 1695-6, 1698, 1700, 1702-11 and 1714. In 1702 he wasJustice of the Peace; 1703 Speaker of the House of Deputies; June 22,1703 he and two others were appointed to draw up a method andproceedings of the Court of Common Pleas. In 1705-12 he was on theTown Council; in 1707 Clerk of the Assembly. On June 16, 1713 he wastaxed 18s, 6d. On May 23, 1719 he made an agreement with his sons-in-law WilliamJenckes, John Tefft, and Daniel Brown, deeding them his house and alllands, they maintaining him for life and he to have choice ofson-in- law to live with. They were to maintain his horse also and payhim L6 and L25 to such persons as he should direct at his decease. OnNovember 9, 1719 he deeded to his son-in-law Ebenezer Cook certainland. On February 23, 1722 he wrote a long letter to three prominentPresbyterian ministers in MA, John Danforth, Peter Thatcher, and Joseph Belcher in answer to one they had addressed to him and othercitizens concerning the establishment of a church in Providence. Mr.Sprague and other Baptists failed to see the necessity of aPresbyterian church and in his letter gave his views in very vigorousand unmistakable terms. He preached as an exhorter but was notordained (as Morgan Edwards declares in his account of the Baptists). Notes for Mehitable Holbrook: The Holbrook name originates in England and can be traced back to Thomas Holbrook born about 1535 in Somerset, England. The name continues with William b. abt. 1562 and Thomas b. 1599. Thomas and family, including his son, William b. 1620, came to the New World settling in Weymouth, Norfolk, Massachusetts sometime after 1636. They were among the early settlers of Massachusetts. William continued to live in Massachusetts, where his daughter, Mahitable Holbrook, was born. Children of Jonathon Sprague and Mehitable Holbrook are: i. Jonathan Sprague, born 1672. 415 ii. Joanna Sprague, born Abt. 1676; died 1757; married John Tefft. iii. Joanna Sprague, born 1676. iv. Peris Sprague, born 1681. v. William Sprague, born February 02, 1690/91. vi. Mary Sprague, born 1697. 960. Henry Jackson, born 1606 in England; died Bef. June 21, 1686 in Fairfield, Connecticut. He was the son of 1920. Thomas Jackson and 1921. Anne Hobson. He married 961. Mary Abbott Abt. 1637. 961. Mary Abbott, born 1622 in England. She was the daughter of 1056. George Abbott and 1923. Joanna Williamson. Notes for Henry Jackson: 1) Jacobus, History and Genealogy of the Families of Old Fairfield, Vol. I, p. 319-20 Henry was born in England and came from London, aged 29, on the "Elizabeth and Ann" in 1635. He settled first at Watertown MA, then removed to Fairfield CT by 1648 when he made an agreement with the town to build a tide mill (the foundation of which has recently been excavated beside a streem running into the west side of the Uncoway River). He bought the land in Fairfield 16 Jun. 1650 from Thomas Wheeler, Jr. and was eventuallya large land owner. His will, dtd. 11 Nov. 1682, proved 22 Sept. 1686, names son Moses, son Samuel, son John, "wife", daughter Hannah, grandsons Moses, Samuel and a deceased son Joseph. Torrey says Henry was cousin to John Tey. Overseers were Maj. Nathan Gold and [Gold's stepson] mr. Josiah Harvey, both prominent men of the commuity and probably not related to jackson. Henry's wife is unknown, but there are many adherents to the Mary Abbot theory, which is now fairly well debunked by some serious age discrepancies. Research on John Tey may prove fruitful, but nothing has been found. Notes for Mary Abbott: Torrey's original manuscript concludes that Henry's wife is unknown, and discusses Mary Abbott, Mary Wheeler, and one other (illegible) as possible wives of Henry's grandson Henry (he settled on Mary Wheeler in the manuscript, and she is called "wife of Henry Jackson" in her father's will). Other researchers have clung to Mary Abbott, partly because in Torrey's published work he went back to the wife of [grandson] Henry Jackson ( -1713, Stratfield) as "Mary (Abbott?), dau. Geor; ca 1680-90? Stamford CT/ Stratford, CT". The abbott book says George Abbott (advanced as the father of the Mary above) came from England and was one of the first settlers of Norwalk, CT, a proprietor, his name appearing in the records as early as 1653. His will, made 1689, was recorded 11 Mar. 1690. The name of his first wife, who was probably the mother of his children, is not known. His last wife was the widow Johanna Williams, who left heirs James, William, Elizabeth and Sarah, when she died in 1682. The children of George are John, Jonathan, Dorothy Rook, Pricilla Clason, Mary Jackson, George 9b. c. 1669), and Daniel (b. c. 1672). The husbands of the daughters were not named. But the approximate birthdates of George and Daniel, as given by Abbot, assuming them to be in line with the rest of the family, would preclude Mary from being the mother of Henry 91) Jackson's children, since the oldest was born in about 1640 However, other researchers report that the passenger list of the "Hopewell" from the Port of London, bound for New England in April 1635 included a Marie Abbott and a Jno. Abbott, both aged 16. Their identity is unknown. Child of Henry Jackson is: Children of Henry Jackson and Mary Abbott are: i. Hannah Jackson ii.

She was the daughter of 2106. William Tayler and 2107. Sarah Rogers. Notes for Edward Jowett: The Jewett line has been extensively researched. There are two main schools of thought as to the origin of the surname. One is that it comes from Henri De Juatt, A Norman who lived in England during the 11th Century and is said to have been given lands in Bredbury in Cheshire by William the Conqueror. He was knighted and participated in the Pilgrimage and Assault on Jerusalem in the First Crusade, 1096-1099. The other probable source of the name is that it is derived from a personal name - a diminutive of Juliana, variously found as Joetta, Jowet, Jouuet, Jowitt, and Jowett, which was popular in the 13th and 14th century. The name transformed from Jowett to Jewett fairly early on in the line, before the deaths of the first American immigrants, Maximillian and Joseph, in Massachusetts. This probably reflects the pronunciation and the broad Yorkshire accent that the brothers almost certainly retained for all of their lives. The name was written as Jowett (parish records, wills, and deeds) but pronounced as Jewett in England, it became written as Jewett in America. Edward Jowett married Mary Tayler, daughter of William Tayler, in 1604 and according to the parish records of the time they had six children: William, Maximilian, emigrated to America, Joseph, sailed with Maximilian to the New World, Grace, not mentioned in the will of Edward so probably died in infancy, Josias, died in infancy, and Sarah, named in Edward's will. Edward died in 1614/5, and was buried - as Edward Jowett of Barkerend, Bradford - 4 Feb 1615/6 Maximilian and Joseph Jewett, two of the sons of Edward Jowett, a clothier (merchant manufacturer of woolen cloth) of Bradford, emigrated, twenty years after the sailing of the Mayflower. They were escaping persecution for their Puritan beliefs. In the year 1638 there came from England to the New World, in all, twenty ships and at least three thousand persons. The Jewetts sailed from Hull on the "John of London" with about 20 other Puritans and their families (some 60 persons in all), under the leadership of Reverend Ezekiel Rogers and landed at Boston Harbor about the first of December 1638. The Rev. Ezekiel Rogers, a learned and eloquent minister of Rowley, England, having been suspended for non-conformity, collected from his hearers and his other Yorkshire friends this little company, and with them came to America. The Jewetts lived in Bradford, 100 miles from Rowley. Rev. Rogers may have gone to Bradford for the purpose of obtaining accessions to his company, or our ancestors may have heard of the intentions of the great minister and sought him out. After their arrival in December they lived with, and mingled with, the Mayflower families and their friends during that winter, became better acquainted with the surrounding area, and the conditions of the time. Cloth made in the colonies started to exist soon after their arrival. That spring, they moved about 30 miles north of Boston and, with others, founded the town of Rowley, Massachusetts. The town was named in honor of Rev. Rogers, he having been the minister in Rowley, England, a number of years. The descendants of Maximilian and Joseph in America are plenty, topped up by those from other early immigrants from Bradford - relatives of Max and Joseph. Notes for Mary Tayler: Left a young widow with four small children, and bereft again the next year of her father, who had been the protector of the family, what wonder that she appears, soon after this last event, to marry on 7 August 1616 "William Lister and Mary Jowett (by license)" Children of Edward Jowett and Mary Tayler are: 526 i.

Under the heading "Counts of Guisnes," Part 111., is given the ancestry of Sir Robert and Sir William Blount, brothers, twenty­seven generations back from the children of Oratio Dyer Clark, from both of whom he is descended. The history of this distinguished family has been fully investigated by Sir Alexander Crolle, Kt. of Studley Priory, Oxfordshire. The account of the Counts of Guisnes, in Picardy, is the result of his labors. Earlier writers, Betham, Kimber, Dugdale and Wotton, believed that the Blounts were descended from the Blondi or Biondi, in Italy, derived from the Roman Flavi. This supposition was supplied by a member of the family in 1727, a matter of tradition, and, as usual in such cases, tradition was in error. John Denison Champlin, in his "Ancestry of Anne Hutchinson" records the Blount line. From Sir Robert le Blount (27) to Sir Stephen (23) his pedigree agrees with the following record, but from thence onward, the pedigree differs until William (21 ) is reached. In this space, one generation only according to Sir Alexander Croke, Mr. Champlin has placed two extra generations, and alters the name of Sir Robert (22) to Sir William, of Gladston, Gloucestershire. Two extra Williams are also added, and William (21 ) is styled Lord of Belton. Had not Robert (22) married Isabel of Odinsels and thereby acquired Belton, William (21 ) could not have borne that title of courtesy, and yet Robert (22) is not recorded by Mr. Champlin. Curiously enough, after wandering through several generations of which the writer can find no record, Mr. Champlin comes back to the correct line and ends properly with Anne ( 14). He, however, makes Isolda de Montjoy the second wife of John (19) instead of his first wife, and credits her ancestry to Sir Walter (18). below is from page 79-82 left column -------- 27. Sir Robert le Blount had command of the Conqueror's ships of war, and is styled, in the "Doomsday Book," "DUX NAVIUM MILITARIUM." Lois portion of conquered England was thirteen manors in Suffolk, in which county he was the first feudal Baron of Ixworth, Lord of Orford Castle, Lord of Walsham, Lord of Laningham, Lord of Stepworth, Lord of Ashfield, etc., etc. He married Gundred or Gundreda, daughter of Henry de Ferrers, who was the son of the Norman Gualcheline or Walkeline or Walcheline de Feriers, Ferrers or Ferrarijs, who came into England with the Conqueror. Henry, first Lord Ferrers, was possessor of Tubbury Castle, and 200 Lordships, 114 being in the county of Stafford. Sir Robert's son was: 26. Gilbert le Blount, second Baron Ixworth, came into England with his father, and was living during the reign of Henry I. He founded a priory at Ixworth, and married Alicia de Colekirke, by whom he had a son: 25. William le Blount, third Baron of Ixworth, who lived during the reign of Henry II. He married Sarah, daughter of Hubert de Monchensi, or Monchensy, or Monchampes, Lord of Elwalston (not Edwardeston, as given in Mr. Champlin's pedigree). By Sarah, he had a son: 24. Gilbert or Hubert le Blount, fourth Baron Ixworth, living in the 20th year of the reign of Henry II. (1173), who married Agnes de L'lsle, Lisle or De Insula, who was still living in the 10th year of the reign of Richard Coeur de Lion, A.D. 1198. By Agnes, he had two sons 1. William, b. 1153, fifth Baron Ixworth. This William had a son who succeeded him as sixth Baron, standard bearer to Simon de Montford, Earl of Leicester. He fell at the battle of Lewes, May 14, 1246, and he was afterward attainted in Parliament and his estate and title forfeited. 2.(23) Sir Stephen le Blount, whose record follows. 23. Sir Stephen le Blount was living in the 10th year of the reign of Richard Coeurde Lion. He married Maria le Blount, sole daughter and heiress of Sir William le Blount of Saxlingham, the descendant and representative of Sir William le Blount, of Saxlingham, one of the brothers who entered England with William the conqueror, and thus the two lines merged into one again after over a century of separation. Their son: (below is from pages 79-82 right column) -------- 27. Sir William le Blount youngest son of Raoul, third count of Guisnes (28), brother of Sir Robert le Blount (27), was a general of foot at the battle of Hastings, and was rewarded by a grant of seven Lordships in Lincolnshire. His son: 26. ___le Blount, was seated at Saxlingham, in the county of Norfolk. His son: 25. ____le Blount, of Saxlingham, who was father of: 24. Sir William le Blount, of Saxlingham, whose daughter Maria is next recorded. 23. Maria le Blount, sole daughter and heiress of Sir William, the last of Saxlingham, married Stephen le Blount, her kinsman, whose record see. ----------end of page 79-82 left column 22. Sir Robert le Blount, was witness of the charter of Hilton Abbey, in Staffordshire, A.D. 1223. He married Isabel, daughter and co­heir of the feudal lord of Odinsels, and acquired the manor of Belton, in tile county of Rutland, as part of that Lady's portion. He died A. D. 1288. His second son: 21. Sir William le Blount. Lord of Belton, 1270 to 1315, chief of the family by reason of the extinction of the line of his brother, Sir Ralph, married Lady Isabel de Beauchamp, daughter of William de Beauchamp, first Earl of Warwick, and relict of Henry Lovet, of Elmley Lovet, county Worcester. He died, A.D. 1315 or 1316. His second son: 20. Sir Walter le Blount, of Ockha, or the Rock, Worcestershire. whose elder and only brother, Peter, Chamberlin in 1313 to His Majesty King Edward II. died without issue, married Johanna de Sodington, sister and coheir of Sir William de Sodington, of Mamble, Worcestershire, who died A.D. 1301. Betham's "Baronetage," 1803, states that Johanna was daughter and heiress of Sir William, but same is doubtless an error. By this marriage, Sir Walter le Blount became proprietor of the manor of Sodington, Worcestershire. He died in 1322. His second son: 19. Sir John le Blount, succeeded his elder brother, Sir William, who died without issue in 1337. Through his brother's death, Sir John came into possession of the Castle of Weobly, Herefordshire; Battersby, and lands in Fenton, Romesore, and Biddulph, in the County of Stafford, and Sodington and Timberlake in Worcestershire. He served, when thirty-nine years of age, in the retinue of the Earl of Lancaster, and obtained, for life, from that nobleman, a grant of the manor of Passingham, Northamptonshire. He also had lands from the Earl in Holland, and in Duffield, Derbyshire, and at Tiberton, Gloucestershire. He married twice, first Isolda, daughter and heiress of Sir Thomas de Montjoy and, second, Eleanor, daughter of John Beauchamp, of Hache, Somersetshire, widow of John Meriet, of Meriet, in the same shire. Ide died A.D. 1358. His son, (by his second wife), was: 18. Sir Walter le Blount, immortalized by Shakespeare. Burke states "the heroic Sir Walter Blount, so celebrated for his martial prowess in the warlike times of Edward III. and Henry IV." Sir Walter fell at the battle of Shrewsbury, June 22, 1403, wherein, being standard bearer, he was arrayed in the same style of armour as his royal master and was slain in single combat by Earl Douglas who believed he was in combat with the king himself. In 1367, Sir Walter accompanied the Black Prince and the Duke of Lancaster (John of Gaunt) upon the expedition into Spain to aid Peter the Cruel, King of Castile, and was at the battle of Marjara on April 3, 1367 which restored Peter to his throne. He married, about 1372, the Donna Sancha de Ayala, daughter of Don Diego Gomez de Toledo, alcalde mayor and chief justice of Toledo, and notario mayor, or principal secretary of the kingdom of Castile, by his wife Inez Alfon de Ayala, (See Ayala record) one of the most ancient and illustrious houses of Spain. The Donna Sancha was one of the ladies in waiting in the sui
