Notes for ROGER Conant, Sr:
Was a founder of Salem, MA. He was the youngest of 8 children of Richard Conant, a prosperous farmer in E. Budleigh, England. Before 1623 he moved to London where he served an apprenticeship as a salter. Emigrated to Plymouth in 1623 which he left shortly afterward out of dislike of their rigid Separatism. His brother John, a member of the Adventurers, called the attention of the Company to Roger, when they made him manager of their plantation at Cape Ann. He was appointed just in time to avoid bloodshed. The Pilgrims, having bought a worthless title to a part of Cape Ann, erected a fishing stage, which one of the West Country ships appropriated in the Spring of 1625. Miles Standish and his company were sent by Gov William Bradford to get it back. The West Countryman barricaded himself on the stage, and invited Miles to take it. The dispute grew very hot, and words passed. There undoubtedly would have been a battle if Roger had not interposed and settled the dispute by inducing the W. Countryman to help the Pilgrims build another stage.
"The winter after this successful arbitration, the Dorchester Company broke up, tired of throwing good money after bad; and the disorderly and discontented fishermen returned to England. Apparently one more colonizing experiment on the New England coast, beginning with the fairest prospects, had gone down to defeat.
"It was only the darkness before the dawn. Roger remained, for he had caught the vision of the new day. Secretly hoping (so he told the historian Hubbard in his old age) that New England might prove a religious refuge, he sent intimation thereof to his friends in the old country. 'Wherefore that reverend Master White (one of the chief founders of the Mass Colony in New England) being grieved in his spirit that so good a work should be suffered to fall to the ground by the Adventurers thus abruptly breaking off, did write to Roger not so to desert the business' promising that if he and 3 others would stay, he would procure for them a new land grant, and fresh support. In the meantime, Roger had determined on a more suitable site for the plantation. During the Autumn of 1626, he and the remnant of the Cape Ann settlers, 20 or 30 persons at the most, made their way by Indian trail along the North shore to a place called by the Indians Naumkeag. John White believed that the name indicated 'some commerce with the Jewes in times past' since Nahun Keike in Hebrew signifies 'The bosome of consolation'. However that may be, the place was well chosen, since Naumkeag under the more familiar name of Salem, became one of the most prosperous seaports in the Commonwealth." --"Builders of the Bay Colony", 1930, by Samuel Eliot Morison.
Is listed as the first Gov of Mass. A fort erected at what is now Stagehead was originally called Fort Conant. Salem erected a statue of Roger. He was a man of intelligence, historians pay glowing tributes to his ability, integrity and honor. Both he and his wife were among the members who assisted in forming the 1st church in Salem in 1637.

Notes from book - Mayflower Planters pg 188

Conant, Roger/3 (Richard/2,John/1) baptized Apr. 9, 1592 East Budleigh, Devon County, England: died November 19, 1679, at Beverly Mass.; married Nov. 11, 1618, Sarah Horton at St. Ann's Blackfriars, London; died June 1667-Sept.20, 1667. After their marriage they lived in London for a time.

In 1619 and 1620 he was a resident of the Parish of St. Lawrence, Jewry, London, carrying on the business of a "Salter." The business required an apprenticeship of seven years.

He came to New England with his brother Christopher, his wife and oldest son, Caleb, on the "Ann", which arrived at Plymouth on July 1623. Did not remain long at Plymouth owing to a difference in religious belief between himself and the Pilgrim Fathers. They were Separatists and he a Non-conformist or Puritan.

After about a year at Plymouth, he removed to Nantasket, and within a few months thereafter he was invited by John White's Dorchester Company of England, a group of Merchant Adventurers or investors and liberty-minded people, who had been maintaining a fishing settlement at Cape Ann (Gloucester) to go there and be their "governor," having charge of both fishing and the colony. His training as a "Salter," of course, was right along this line of wholesalelfish and meats. In 1626 the settlement was abandoned, and the colony was removed to Naumkeog (Salem) where Conant built the first European house and lived as a planter. In 1628 Endicott arrived in Salem and superseded him as Governor. See Colonial Families of the United States, Vol. II, at 587; Chronological History of Massachusetts.

His will is dated Jan. 1 1677 and proved Sept 25, 1679. It disposed of quite a large estate.

According to Mrs. Robin Norman:
"A statue of Roger Conant stands in Historic Salem today, in tribute of his contribution and early settlement in Salem and the Massachusetts Colony...At about age 18 (1609) he and his older brother, Christopher, went to London and established themselves in career and community. Roger was a salter and Christopher was a grocer. During this time Roger probably married a first wife but she died in 1618, leaving no children. On 11 Nov. 1618, Roger m. Sarah Horton, daughter of Thomas and Katherine (Satchfield) Horton, at St. Ann Blackfriars in London. They had two children born there, one of which died less than two months old in 1619.
"By 1623 Roger and Christopher had decided to pay their voyage to America. They had religious disagreements with the church and undoubtedly had an adventuresome spirit. It is known that Christopher came on the "Anne" to Plymouth Colony arriving in July, 1623. It is assumed that Roger, Sarah and son, Caleb (just over a year old), were also on that ship. No other ship record of them has been discovered.
"Upon arriving at Plymouth, Roger seems to have been at odds with the settlers there, he being a Puritan, not a separatist, as they were. Some of the new settlers, particularly noteable, the Rev. John Lyford and John Oldham were expelled to Nantasket. Shortly thereafter, Roger and his family followed them. Christopher seems to have remained in Plymouth but no further record has been found of him. Roger resided at "Conant's Island", later called "Governor's Island" in Boston Harbor.
"Upon hearing of Roger Conant's good character and ability, Rev. John White and the Dorchester Company asked him to manage their affairs at Cape Ann. Cape Ann had commenced in 1622-23 as a fishing site. Roger agreed to take charge of the settlement in the fall of 1625. Despite the setlement size of 200, the fishing trade did not profit and the growing of crosp was not successful. The decision to disband the community was made. Roger, himself, did not like the Cape Ann location. A new site was chosen at Naumkeag, later called Salem. In the fall of 1626, the Conants and about 40 settlers moved to Salem. Many of their group in Cape Ann went to Virginia but Roger was determined to remain in what was to become Massachusetts Colony.
"In 1627-28 a patent of land in Massachusetts Colony was granted and the news reached Salem in June, 1628. Roger expected to be appointed Governor or agent since he had already been the agent in charge for three years. However, one of the patentees, John Endicott, was sent from England with about 50 settlers and was designated the Governor. Despite the disappointment Roger Conant must have felt, and the disagreements between the old and new settlers, he continued in his effort for a successful venture there, putting the good of the public abobe his own.
"Roger became a freeman 18 May 1631. He was listed with the church members of Salem in 1636. he was a representative to the First General Court of Massachusetts Colony in 1636. He was appointed Essex magistrate and served regularly on the juries of Essex County. He held many town offices and was a Salem Selectman for many years.
"Sarah and Roger had eight more children in America. Their sixth child, Roger, was the first white child born in Salem. They primarily resided in the Bass River section of Salem, now called Beverly. Roger died 19 Nov. 1679 in Beverly, following the death of his wife, Sarah. He accumulated a sizeable estate and lands."
