006 Samuel Jaques – Last Will & Testiment

Last Will & Testament Of Samuel Jaques 1701-1780

1777-1780 , Woodbridge, Middlesex, County, New Jersey

Samuel Jaques (1707-1 May 1780)

Last Will and Testament

Jaques, Samuel Sr., 5901 – 5903L. B. 22, p. 354. W. 1781. Inv. 1780.

Jon B. Jacques, December 8, 2008

This is Samuel the first, either the son of John Jaques, who was the son of Henry Jaques Jr., or Samuel

Allen Jaques, the adopted son of John Jaques, and the natural son of John Allen and Deliverance Potter,

second wife of John Jaques. Since I have done a DNA test and found a link to male descendants of Henry

Jaques, Sr. there is now also some question about Samuel Allen Jaques references. The exact line of

descent remains a bit murky here.

Any text in italics is text that has been inserted by me, Jon Jacques. Any strange words you see are words

as I could make them out. Strange spellings of common words are present in the document. In the area

where you might see the word probate, there is the use of the word “prolobate”. I haven’t a clue.

The eldest son, Richard is left only the sum of 5 pounds along with sharing the Society?? and Freehold

rights. The younger Samuel is essentially left the estate.

Notes from Anne Lochhead Holmes; book Ezekiel Ross Jaques and Mary Evelyn Sering – Some of Their

Ancestors and Descendants; Published posthumously 1991, by John Safford Holmes, ISBN 0-9628224-0-

A, manufactured by BookCrafters, Chelsea, Michigan. Anne was the Granddaughter of Ezekiel Ross

Jaques:

“Note the names – Susannah for Samuel’s grandmother, wife of John Jaques.

Richard for Sarah’s father Richard Cutter

Mary for Sarah’s mother Mary Pike Cutter

Samuel for Samuel I

Sarah for her mother

William for William Cutter, grandfather of Sarah

This Samuel I always designated himself as Blacksmith – a trade of which he had every reason to be

proud. He executed at least three deeds which will be given, The one made to David Britain, executed in

1725, is very important. John Jaques, son of Henry II, died intestate in 1725. In this deed Samuel,

Blacksmith, says “I Samuel Jaques, only surviving son of John Jaques, decd.” This definitely establishes

his parentage. The other two deeds are to Charles Marsh – 1740 and to Joseph Shotwell – 1756. The latter

is interesting – evidently Mr. Shotwell had built a dwelling straddling the property line between his land

and Samuel’s and had to acquire land from Samuel to rectify his mistake.”

Regards,

Jon

Samuel MARSH [Parents] was born 1624 in Braintree, Essex, England. He died Sep 1683 in Trembley

Point, Union Co., New Jersey and was buried in Elizabeth, Union Co., New Jersey. Samuel married

Comfort MANN on 1647 in New Haven, New Haven, Connecticut.

Samuel Marsh was born about 1621 in Braintree, Essex County, England. He immigrated to Boston about

1641, then to New Haven Colony, Connecticut about 1645. About 1645 he married Comfort Mann (there

is controversy about her last name), had seven children all in New Haven Colony, Connecticut. In 1665,

the family emigrated to Elizabethtown, New Jersey, where he was one of the original settlers, to Rahway,

New Jersey about 1681 and died in Rahway in the year 1683.

The seventh child and the third son, was named Joseph, born 1663, married in the year 1697, to Sarah

Hindes, daughter of James Hindes, whose father James came from England to Salem, Massachusetts, in

the year 1637 and they went to Southold, Long Island County, (now Suffolk County), New York.

Joseph and Sarah (Hindes) Marsh’s second child and the first son was named Samuel, born 1700, who

married two women of the same name — Mary Shotwell. Date of first marriage and wife’s parentage is

unknown.

Together Samuel and Mary (Shotwell the first) Marsh were the parents of six children. He married a

second Mary Shotwell, daughter of John Junior and Mary (Thorne) Shotwell. Unto this marriage were

born eight children. They were QUAKERS and lived at Rahway. Samuel died December 13, 1773.

007 Samuel Marsh — Biography

The Marsh Family And The Life Of Samuel Marsh

The Marsh Family

The Marsh family is English in origins. Several different Marsh families came to America very early in

the 1600s. The first Marsh to come to America seems to be one John Marsh who came to Salem,

Massachusetts in 1633. There were many others who arrived from various parts of England during the

next few years.

Two separate Marsh families came from Braintree, Essex County, England to Boston in the 1640s. How

the two families were related is not certain, they may have been cousins. One was that of John Marsh who

came to Boston in 1635 and then went to Hartford, Connecticut. The second was that of Samuel Marsh

and his brother Jonathan who were in Boston by 1641. The brothers were in New Haven, Connecticut by

1643. Jonathan later went to Rhode Island and Samuel to New Jersey. Our line is descended from this

Samuel Marsh.

The Marsh family were pioneers in the early New Haven Puritan Colony. This colony covered most of the

southern Connecticut shoreline and our Marshes were in the general area of Milford, Connecticut. They

went from there to the New Jersey coastal areas around Newark and Elizabeth. From there they spread

westward like so many of my ancestors seeking new lands and homes for their families.

Samuel Marsh

Samuel Marsh was born in Essex County, England about the year 1620. There are references that his

father may have been John Marsh born in 1589 and his mother may have been Grace Baldwin, but I have

no proof. Some sources state he was in Boston by 1641, others state he came directly to the colony in

New Haven in the summer of 1645. Although he was not listed as an original planter, he was carried on

the records as a resident of New Haven in 1646. He was in the Militia records on April 7, 1647. It seems

he was fined two shillings six pence for missing training three times to “seek cowes”. He took the oath of

Fidelity in New Haven on May 2, 1647 and was then made a Freeman.

Samuel married about 1647. His wife was named Comfort. Most sources feel her maiden name was

Mann, but no one seems very positive about it. They appear as members of the First Church of Christ in

New Haven on List Number 2 dated February 11, 1655/56. It would seem that possibly there was a whole

family that came from England. Samuel’s brother Jonathan was there until about 1650 when he moved to

nearby Milford, Connecticut and then to Norwalk, Connecticut by 1657. There was also a sister, Hannah,

who married Lancelot Fuller in New Haven.

Samuel and Comfort Marsh raised seven children while living in New Haven. In 1665, the family moved

to Elizabethtown, New Jersey. In that year England took possession of New Jersey from the Dutch.

Samuel Marsh was one of the original Eighty Associates who bought the Elizabeth-town Grant, East

Jersey of some five hundred thousand acres, which covered all of the present day Union County, New

Jersey. Their son, Samuel Marsh junior, was also one of the original eighty associates. Samuel took the

oath of allegiance to King Charles II on February 16, 1665.

In 1671, Samuel was in a major conflict with New Jersey Governor Carteret over land rights, but seems to

have survived without any penalties. Samuel wrote his will on June 10, 1683 and mentioned his wife and

children John, Joseph, Elizabeth and Samuel. He stated he was living at Wawanday.

He died in September of 1683. The Will was probated on February 24, 1685. His widow, Comfort, was

the executrix.

They had seven children.

Samuel Marsh born February 12, 1649. He married Mary Trimmins in 1675 and later they moved to

Philadelphia where he died in about 1684.

Comfort Marsh born August 22, 1652. She married Joseph Meeker on May 5, 1678 and died in

December 1690.

Hannah Marsh born July 22, 1655.

Elizabeth Marsh born December 27, 1657.

John Marsh born May 2, 1661. John is our line and his life is covered next.

Joseph Marsh born April 1, 1663. He married Sarah Hinds in 1697 and remained in New Jersey. Joseph

died at Trembly Point, New Jersey in December 1723. Their children were: Sarah who married Benjamin

Watkins, Samuel who married Mary Shotwell, Joseph who married Susanna, James, Charles who married

Hester Culler, Paluna, Sussanah and Ellis who married Mary Davenport.

008 Reverend John Jones

Reverend John Jones John Jones, (Rev.) was born in County Northampton, England, about 1593, and died in Connecticut in January, 1664/5. Sarah _____ was born in England about 1601. They were married in England. They had seven children:

i. Sarah Jones was born in England about 1620, and died in Connecticut in 1683. ii. John Jones was born in England about 1624. He graduated from Harvard College in 1643; was a

preacher in Nevis, Bermuda. He died early. iii. Ruth Jones was born in England about 1628. She married Thomas James, (Rev.). iv. Theophilus Jones was born in England about 1631. He died young in Connecticut. v. Rebecca Jones : She was born in England about 1633. vi. Elizabeth Jones was born in England about 1635. She was 6 months old when the family sailed to

America. She married William Hill. vii. Eliphalet Jones was born in Concord, Massachusetts, on January 9, 1640/1, and died in

Huntington, Long Island, about 1732.

His second marriage was to Susanna _____. She was born about 1605 and perhaps was the widow of Richard Hollingsworth of Salem. Her daughter, Mercy, was tried for witchcraft in 1692.

John Jones matriculated sizar from Queens College, Cambridge, Michaelmas 1608, as John "Johnes"; B.A., 1612/13; M.A. 1616; ordained deacon at Peterboro, December 19, 1613. He probably was rector of Abbot's Ripton, county Huntington, 1619–1630, when he was deprived—removed from his office.

He and his family sailed on Defence: his wife Sarah, age 34, and children Sarah 15, John 11, Ruth 7, Theophilus 3, Rebecca 2, and Elizabeth 6 months. It was a terrifying crossing; the ship sprung a leak during the first storm.

Upon his arrival, he was entertained by Governor Winthrop in his Boston house. He settled in Concord, Massachusetts, with Rev. Peter Bulkeley.

Rev. Jones's will was dated January 17, 1664; his wife, Susanna, was the executrix. It contained: £50 that he promised his wife; he owed the heirs of Capt. Cullick £7; children listed: John Jones, Elaphalet Jones, Sarah Wilson (widow), Ruth James, Rebecca Hull, and Elizabeth Hill. The overseers were Mr. Gold and Mr. Pell; the inventory was dated February 9, 1664/5.

009 Anthony Besse

Anthony Besse and Jane

Anthony Besse was born at England in 1609 and came to America in 1635 on board the ship named James. Anthony was listed as 26 years old and was certified "for conformity in religion and that he was no subsity man." Most of our information on the Besse family is taken from Descendants of Anthony Besse 1609-1656 compiled by Mrs. Florence Besse Ballantine, 1965. We are grateful for this information as we have spent hours trying to find further facts to fill out the information she found, to no avail.

Anthony lived briefly in Lynn, MA, then moved to Sandwich, MA where he remained until he died at the age of 47 or 48. (His will is dated 10 Feb. 1656, proved 3 June 1657.) This will, which in all probability he wrote himself, and a letter which remains, show him to have been educated. Sandwich records show he participated in public affairs, helped the projects of building a mill and a meeting house and of securing a minister. He was before the Court only once and that for "disorderly keeping house alone" in 1638. He received ".01 acre" (?) in the 1641 division of meadow lands and in 1643 was declared liable to bear arms. Anthony seemed to be very concerned for the welfare of the Indians and worked with the minister as a lay preacher for their benefit.

Anthony Besse's mother was still alive in 1656 when Anthony wrote his will as he mentions "in case my mother send any thinge over to me as formerly she had Don that it be Disposed of among my family in general." His will lists his six children, plus the one with which his wife was then pregnant. His widow, Jane Besse married (2) George Barlow. In 1661, Jane's daughters, Dorcas and Ann Besse, were brought before the Court on charges of ill treating their stepfather. Ann confessed that she had. Both girls were unmarried at the time and living "at home." George Barlow was a marshal and gained the reputation of being a "bad fellow" because of his unfair activities under the protection of his office. In her will in 1693, Jane Besse Barlow mentions only Ann Hallett, Elizabeth Bodfish, Nehemiah Besse, Rebecca Hunter, John Barlow and Nathan Barlow as her children. This indicates she had at least two sons by George Barlow.

009-Anthony Besse — Biography 002

Anthony Besse's Family

ANTHONY BESSEY ORIGIN: London MIGRATION: 1635 on the James FIRST RESIDENCE: Lynn REMOVES: Sandwich 1637 OCCUPATION: Husbandman.

He signed his will. His inventory included "his books and some other small things" valued at £1 16s. Her inventory included "a Bible and some sheep's wool and feathers" valued at 8s.

The inventory of his estate, taken 21 May 1657, was untotalled [about £70], and like most Plymouth inventories included no real estate [Plymouth Wills 1:329, citing PCPR 2:52].

In her will, dated 6 August 1693 and proved 5 October 1693, "Jane Barlow of Sandwich" bequeathed to "my son John Barlow ... my dwelling house and all my land on which it stands and land adjacent ... together with my great iron kettle and the money that he owes me"; to "my son Nathan Barlow forty shillings in money and my featherbed and the iron kettle that he now hath of mine"; to "my son Nehemiah Bessie one cow"; to "Alce Hunter and Rebeckah Hunter the daughters of my daughter Rebeckah Hunter one cow apiece"; to "my three daughters viz: Anna Hallett, Elizabeth Bodfish and Rebeckah Hunter all my wearing clothes and the rest of my estate to be divided between them"; "Stephen Skeffe Esq." to be executor [PPR 1:86; MD 19:44-45].

The inventory of "the estate of Jane Barlow late of Sandwich who deceased the 22 day of August 1693," taken "this 4th [sic day of August 1693," totalled £38, with no real estate included [PPR 1:86; MD 19:45].

BIRTH: About 1609 (aged 26 in 1635 [Hotten 107]).


DEATH: Between 10 February 1656/7 (date of will) and 21 May 1657 (date of inventory).

MARRIAGE: By about 1639 Jane _____. She married (2) before 10 January or February 1661/2 George Barlow [PCR 4:7], and died 22 August 1693 (assuming that the date of the inventory was correctly 24 August).

CHILDREN:

I. DORCAS, b. say 1639; living 4 March 1661/2, unmarried [PCR 4:10]; no further record. II. ANN, b. say 1641; m. by 1662 Andrew Hallett, son of ANDREW HALLETT [TAG 26:193-95].

III. NEHEMIAH, b. about 1643 (of full age on 2 August 1664 [PCR 4:17]); m. by 1680 Mary Ransom, daughter of Robert Ransom (eldest known child b. Sandwich [blank] November 1680 [SandVR 1:61]; son Nehemiah b. Sandwich [blank] July 1682/3 [sic [SandVR 1:62]; the 14 December 1697 inventory of Robert Ransom Senior included "a hores & saddle & arms he gave to his grandson Nehemiah Bessey before he died" [PPR 1:280]).

IV. MARY, b. say 1645; living 4 March 1661/2, unmarried [PCR 4:10]; no further record. V. JANE, b. say 1647; on 3 June 1662, "concerning a cow belonging to Jane, the daughter of

Anthony Bessey, of Sandwich, the Court have ordered G[e]orge Barlow, in whose hands the said cow hath been for some time, to return her to the overseers of the estate of the said Anthony Bessey, to be disposed of by them for the use and good of the said Jane Bessey" [PCR 4:17]; no further record.

VI. DAVID, b. Sandwich 23 May 1649 [SandVR 1:4; PCR 8:9]; named in his father's will, 10 February 1656/7; no further record.

VII. ELIZABETH, b. say 1654; m. by 1674 Joseph Botfish, son of ROBERT BOTFISH. VIII. REBECCA (posthumous), b. about summer 1657; m. Barnstable 17 February 1670[/1?] William

Hunter [MD 6:137].

COMMENTS: On 13 July 1635, "Anto Bessy," aged 26, was enrolled at London for passage to New England on the James [Hotten 107].

Although there is no record of the presence of Anthony Bessey in Lynn, we assume he resided there briefly, since several of his fellow passengers on the James made that their first residence.

On 5 March 1638/9, "Anthonie Bessie [was] presented for living alone disorderly, and afterwards for taking in an inmate without order" [PCR 1:118]. (Anthony Bessey was probably married about the time of this presentment.)

On 10 January or February 1661/2, Anna Bessey, Dorcas Bessey and Mary Bessey posted bond, promising "to appear at the Court to be holden at Plymouth the first Tuesday in March next, to answer for her unnatural and cruel carriages towards George Barlow, [their] father-in-law" [PCR 4:7]. On 4 March 1661/2, "Anna Bessey, for her cruel and unnatural practices towards her father-in-law, George Barlow, in chopping of him in the back, notwithstanding the odiousness of her fact, the Court, considering of some circumstances, viz:, her ingenious confession, together with her present condition, being with child, and some other particulars, have sentenced her to pay a fine of ten pounds, or to be publicly whipped at some other convenient time when her condition will admit thereof"; "Dorcas Bessey and Mary Bessey, for carriages of like nature towards their father-in-law, though not in so high a degreee, were both sentenced to sit in the stocks during the pleasure of the Court, which accordingly was performed"; "the younger, viz:, Mary Bessey, was sharply reproved by the Court, as being by her disobedience the occasioner of the evil abovementioned"; "G[e]org[e] Barlow and his wife were both severly reproved for their most ungodly living in contention with the other, and admonished to live otherwise" [PCR 4:10].

BIBLIOGRAPHIC NOTE In 1950 Mrs. John E. Barclay published an account of the family of Anthony Bessey; we have followed her judgment on the birth order of the children of the immigrant [TAG 26:193-95].

009 Edmund Freeman II

009- Edmund Freeman — Biography

Edmond Freeman II 1596-1682

Edmond Freeman was born in Pulborough, Sussex, England some time before 25 July 1596,

when he was baptized. He was the son of Edmond and Alice (Coles) Freeman. He died between

21 June and 2 November 1682. He married first Bennett Hodsoll, 16 June 1617, daughter of John

and Faith (____) (Bacon) Hodsoll, who died in 1630. He married second, Elizabeth ? . He sailed

for New England with Elizabeth and four surviving children and several other people with the

same name (but unsure of relation) on the Abigail in July 1635 and settled in Saugus (Lynn) in

the Bay colony.

“This year many new inhabitants appear in Lynn, and among them worthy of note Mr. Edmond

Freeman, who presented to the Colony twenty corsletts, or pieces of plate armor.” It is interesting

to note that he was given the title of “Mr.” which, at that time, was reserved for men of

importance, who in most instances had been gentlemen in England and hence had borne the title

before coming to New England. Another clue to his status in England is the fact that he brought

with him the “twenty corsletts or pieces of plate armor” which represented a considerable amount

of money.

He was admitted freeman at Plymouth, January 2, 1655-6, and after living a short time in

Duxbury was one of ten men who, on April 3, 1637, were given permission by the court at

Plymouth to establish a new settlement. About two years later this settlement was incorporated as

the town of Sandwich.

He held many positions of importance in the Colony including assistant to Governor Bradford.

Throughout his life was respected and honored for his leadership, integrity and judgments. In

spite of the evident good standing of Edmond in the community, he occasionally offended in

small matters and he was promptly taken to task, as when in 1638 he and others were fined ten

shillings apiece for “being defective in armes”; that same year he was one of several who were

presented “for keeping swine unringed”; in 1641 he was before the Court for lending a gun to an

Indian and in 1646 he was fined eighteen pence for absence from General Court.

His will dated June 21, 1682 was probated November 2, the same year, and named his three

“sons,” Edmond and John Freeman and Edward Perry, as his executors, reaffirmed all prior

conveyances and divided such lands as he then possessed. It is interesting to note that his personal

estate included “One Dixionary & gt. Bible L1-15-0” the former volume being a rare possession

in the colonies in that early day.

Children of Edmond and Bennett all born in England:

1) Alice baptized 4 April 1619in Pulborough; died 24 April 1651 at Plymouth, married William

Paddy 24 November 1639;

2) Edmond baptized 25 November 1620 in Billingshurst, died 29 March 1673 at Sandwich,

married 1st 22 April 1646 to Rebecca Prence, 2

nd 18 July 1651 Margaret Perry;

3) Bennett baptized 20 January 1621 in Billingshurst, died between 28 November and January 13

1633;

4) Elizabeth baptized 11 April 1624, married prob. Aft. 1647 to John Ellis ;

5) John baptized 28 January 1627-8 At Billingshurst, died 28 October 1626-7;

6) Nathaniel baptized 2 September 1629 died ten days later.

Elizabeth may have been the mother of Mary Freeman about 1643.

009 John Pike II - Biography

John Pike

(settler)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

John Pike (1613-1688/1689) was a founder of Woodbridge, New Jersey and a judge and politician of the

early colony of New Jersey.

Pike was born in Wiltshire, England. He came to America with his parents, John Pike (1572-1654) and

Dorothy Day, first settling in Newbury, Massachusetts.

In 1665, acting on the invitation of Governor Philip Carteret, a number of Newbury residents formed a

corporation to settle in Woodbridge, named after Rev. John Woodbridge, a Newbury clergyman.[1]

Pike,

one of the original nine "associates" (and thereby granted some 300 acres, much more than other

freeholders), was "the prominent man of the town" in its early years. He was President of Woodbridge,

and in 1671 was appointed to the Governor's Council. After 1675, he was Captain of the militia, and

afterward known as Capt. Pike. He was chosen to represent the township in the colonial General

Assembly three times: 1692-3, 1696, and 1697-8.[2]

In 1684, together with his son John, he was convicted of possession of stolen goods, a felony. After his

death, the New Jersey assembly passed an act clearing his name, as well as one allowing his family to sue

for defamation.[2]

Personal life

Pike married Elizabeth Fitz Randolph in 1685, although he already had several grown children: John

(1634-1714), Thomas, Joseph, Hannah, Ruth, and three others who predeceased him.[2]

Pike is an ancestor of Zebulon Montgomery Pike (1779-1813) explorer and army general, after whom

Pikes Peak is named.[1]

He is also the patriarch of a large clan of modern day Pikes. According to

genealogist using DNA analysis, almost 25% of current Pikes in the United States are descendants from

his line. http://www.math.mun.ca/~dapike/family_history/pike/DNA/index.php?content=resul ts.html

He is also an ancestor of Albert Pike, a prominent Confederate brigadier general and an important

Freemason; and Lt. Colonel Emory Jenison Pike, a Medal of Honor recipient.

009-Mary Scullard — Biography

Mary Scullard

Notes for MARY SCULLARD: From "The Early Rolfe Settlers of New England"

It was after the birth of their 3rd child and while John was away from Newbury that Mary became

involved in a scandal with a Dr. Henry Greenland, a new-comer to Newbury. He was found guilty of

adultery and ordered out of Newbury. He went first to Kittery, Maine from where he was forced to leave.

He then relocated to Piscataway, New Jersey where he and his family settled. Shortly after John's return

to Newbury, he, Mary and their daughters, Mary and Rebecca relocated to Nantucket where their next

five children were born. About 1672 the family relocated to a part of Cambridge that is now Arlington

where he purchased and operated "Cook's Mill". Three, possibly four of their children were born there.

She Missed a Good Meal

Autumn 1621 , Plymouth Colony, Massachusetts.

The elderly gentleman dressed in black on the left is William Brewster at the famous First Thanksgiving with the Indians in the fall of 1621. [“The First Thanksgiving” by American artist Jean Leon Gerome Ferris (1863-1930), public domain.] Not everyone in Elder Brewster’s family had come ashore from the ‘Mayflower’ at Plymouth Rock the previous December. His daughter Patience arrived on the ship ‘Anne’ with her sister Fear in July of 1623. Patience’s future husband Thomas Prence came over on the ship ‘Fortune,’ commanded by Master Thomas Barton. The first vessel to appear since the ‘Mayflower’ sailed back to England, the ‘Fortune’ arrived at Plymouth on 9 November, 1621. This was just a few weeks after the First Thanksgiving which occurred in October, so Thomas missed the meal too. This was more of a secular “harvest celebration” than a religious event. According to eyewitness accounts, just after the harvest was complete, 53 Pilgrim survivors from the ‘Mayflower’ and 90 Indians feasted over a 3-day period, standing up, sitting down, indoors and out. There was “a great store of wild turkeys”; roasted ducks and geese from the many wildfowl on Cape Cod Bay; codfish, lobsters, mussels, eels, and clams; venison from deer the Indians provided; pumpkins, squash, and cabbage; wild grapes, plums, and berries; and dried fruit. Indian corn (maize) was ground into samp, a kind of cornmeal porridge. As corn on the cob, it was inedible. Because their rationed flour was gone, there was no bread. -LP

009 Penelope Van Princis — Biography

The Story Of Penelope Stout

In the early days of New Jersey, the Dutch settlers suffered very much from Indian hostilities. It was at

the time that New Amsterdam, afterwards New York, was in the possession of the Dutch, that a ship came

from Holland, bringing passengers who intended to settle in the new country. The ship was unfortunately

wrecked in the neighborhood of Sandy Hook; but all the passengers managed to save themselves, and

reached the shore.

Among these was a young couple whose names we do not know, except that the wife’s maiden name was

Penelope Van Princis. Her husband had been very sick during the voyage; and getting ashore through the

surf from the wreck could not have been of any benefit to him, for, after he had reached dry land, he felt

even worse than he had upon shipboard, and needed all the attention his wife could give him.

Although the passengers and crew of this vessel had reached the shore, they did not by any means

consider themselves in safety; for they were very much afraid of the Indians, and desired above

everything to make what haste they could toward New Amsterdam. They therefore started away as

soon[Pg 58] as possible. But Penelope’s husband was too sick to go any farther at that time, and his wife

was too good a woman to leave her husband in that lonely spot; and so these two were left behind, while

the rest of the company started for New Amsterdam, promising, however, that they would send help to the

unfortunate couple.

The fears of these immigrants in regard to the Indians were not without foundation; for the main party had

not long departed, when a band of red men, probably having heard in some way of the wreck of the ship,

appeared upon the scene, and discovered poor Penelope and her sick husband. It is unfortunately the

disposition of most savages to show little pity for weakness and suffering, and the fact that the poor

young man could not do them any possible harm had no effect upon them, and they set upon him and

killed him; very much as a boy would kill a little harmless snake, for no reason whatever, except that he

was able to do it.

Then they determined to kill Penelope also, and, attacking her with their tomahawks, they so cut and

wounded her that she fell down bleeding and insensible. Having built a fire, these brave warriors cooked

themselves a comfortable meal, and then departed. But Penelope was not killed, and, coming to her

senses, her instincts told her that the first thing to do was to hide herself from these bloodthirsty red men:

so, slowly and painfully, she crawled away to the edge of a wood, and found there a great hollow tree,

into which she crept.

This made but narrow and doleful quarters for a wounded woman, but it was preferable at that time to the

blue sky and fresh air. She did not leave the tree until nightfall, and then she made her way to the place

where the fire was still glimmering; and by great care, and with what must have been painful labor, she

kept this fire from going out, and so managed to get a little warmth.

In this way, living in the tree the greater part of the time, and depending for food chiefly upon the fungous

excrescences and gum which grew on the outside of it,—for she was not able to go in search of berries

and other food,—poor Penelope lived for a few days, with her dead husband on the beach, and her almost

dead self in that cavern-like tree. The hours must have passed mournfully indeed to this young woman

who had set out for the New World with such bright hopes.

That she survived her terrible hardships was due entirely to the existence of the danger she most feared;

that is, the reappearance of the Indians. On the second morning, nearly famished and very weak, Penelope

was making her way slowly over the ground, endeavoring to find something she could eat, or a little dew

in the hollow of a leaf, that she might drink, when suddenly there came out of the woods two tall Indians,

who, naturally enough, were much surprised to find a wounded white woman there alone upon the

seashore.

009 Penelope Van Princis-Stout


Penelope gave herself up as lost. There was nothing now for her to do but to submit to her fate. It[Pg 60]

was a pity, she thought, that she had not been slain with her husband.

But the Indians did not immediately rush at her with their tomahawks: they stood and talked together,

evidently about her, with their fierce eyes continually fixed upon her. Then their conversation became

more animated, and it was soon plain that they were disputing. Of course, she did not then know the cause

of their difference of opinion; but she found out afterwards that one of them was in favor of killing her

upon the spot, and the other, an older man than his companion, was more mercifully inclined, and wished

to carry her off as a prisoner to their camp.

At last the older man got the better of the other one; and he, being determined that the poor wounded

woman should be taken care of, took her up and put her on his shoulder, and marched away with her. That

an Indian should be able to perform a feat like this is not at all surprising; for when one of them shoots a

deer in the forest, though many of those animals are heavier than Penelope was, he will put it on his back

and carry it through the forests, perhaps for miles, until he reaches his camp. And[Pg 61] so Penelope, as

if she had been a deer wounded by some other hunters, which these men had found, was carried to the

Indian camp.

There she was taken care of. Food and drink were given her. Her wounds were dressed and treated after

the Indian fashion. In due course of time she recovered her health and strength, and there—living in a

wigwam, among the women and children of the village, pounding corn, cooking food, carrying burdens as

did the Indian women—she remained for some time, not daring even to try to escape; for in that wild

country there was no place of safety to which it was possible for her to flee.

Although there was a good deal of bad feeling between the Indians and the whites at that time, they still

traded and communicated with each other; and when, in the course of time, it became known in New

Amsterdam that there was a white woman held as a prisoner in this Indian camp, there was every reason

to suppose that this woman was the young wife who had been left on the seacoast by the survivors of the

wreck. Consequently some of the men who had been her fellow-passengers came over to the Indian camp,

which was not far from where Middletown now stands. Here, as they had expected, they found Penelope,

and demanded that the Indians should give her up.

After some discussion, it was agreed that the matter should be left with Penelope herself; and the old

Indian who had saved her life went to her,—for of course, being an inferior, she was not present at the

conference,[Pg 62]—and put the question before her. Here she was, with a comfortable wigwam, plenty

to eat and drink, good Indian clothes to wear, as well treated as any Indian woman, and, so far as he could

see, with everything to make her comfortable and happy; and here she might stay if she chose. On the

other hand, if she wished to go to New Amsterdam, she would find there no one with whom she was

acquainted, except the people who had rowed away and left her on that desolate coast, and who might

have come in search of her a long time before if they really had cared anything about her. If she wanted to

live here among friends who had been kind to her, and be taken care of, she could do so; if she wanted to

go away and live among people who had deserted her, and who appeared to have forgotten her, she could

do that.

Very much to the surprise of this good Indian, Penelope declared that she should prefer to go and live

among people of her own race and country; and so, much to the regret of her Indian friends, she departed

for New Amsterdam with the men who had come for her.

A year or two after Penelope had gone back to New Amsterdam, being then about twenty-two, she

married an Englishman named Richard Stout, who afterwards became an important personage. He, with

other settlers, went over to New Jersey and founded a little village, which was called Middletown, not far

from the Indian camp where Penelope had once been a prisoner. The Indians still remained in this camp,

but now they appeared to be quite friendly to the[Pg 63] whites; and the new settlers did not consider that

there was anything dangerous in having these red neighbors. The good Indian who had been Penelope’s


protector, now quite an old man, was very friendly and sociable, and often used to visit Mrs. Stout. This

friendship for the woman whom he had saved from death seemed to have been strong and sincere.

One day this old Indian came to the house of Mrs. Stout, and, seating himself in the room where she was,

remained for a long time pensive and silent. This rather unusual conduct made Penelope fear that

something had happened to him; and she questioned him, asking him why he was so silent, and why he

sighed so often. Then the old man spoke out and told her that he had come on a very important errand, in

which he had risked his own life at the hands of his tribe; but, having saved her life once, he had

determined to do it again, no matter what might happen to himself.

Then he told her that the good will of the Indians toward their white neighbors had come to an end, and

that it had been determined in council that an attack should be made that night upon this little village,

when every person in it—men, women, and children—should be put to death, the houses burned, and the

cattle driven away. His brethren no longer wanted white people living near them.

Of course, this news was a great shock to Penelope. She had now two little children, and she could not get

far away with them and hide, as she herself had once hidden from Indian foes. But the old man told

her[Pg 64] that she need not be afraid: he could not save all the people in the village, but he was her

friend, and he had arranged to save her and her family. At a certain place, which he described so she

could not fail to find it, he had concealed a canoe; and in that she and her husband, with the children,

could go over to New Amsterdam, and there would be plenty of time for them to get away before the

Indians would attack the place. Having said this, and having urged her to lose no time in getting away, the

old Indian left.

As soon as he had gone, Penelope sent for her husband, who was working in the fields, and told him what

she had heard, urging him to make preparations instantly to escape with her. But Mr. Stout was not easily

frightened by news such as this. He pooh-poohed the whole story, and told his wife that the natives over

there in their camp were as well disposed and friendly as if they had been a company of white settlers,

and that, as these red men and the whites had lived together so long, trading with each other, and visiting

each other with perfect freedom, there was no reason whatever to suppose that the Indians would

suddenly determine to rise up and massacre a whole settlement of peaceable neighbors, who had never

done them any harm, and who were a great benefit to them in the way of trading. It would be all

nonsense, he said, to leave their homes, and run away from Indians so extremely friendly and good-

natured as those in the neighboring camp.

But Penelope had entirely different ideas upon the subject. She thoroughly believed in the old Indian,

and[Pg 65] was sure that he would not have come and told her that story unless it had been true. If her

husband chose to stay and risk his life, she could not help it; but she would not subject herself and her

children to the terrible danger which threatened them. She had begged her husband to go with her; but as

he had refused, and had returned to his work, she and her children would escape alone.

Consequently she set out with the little ones, and with all haste possible she reached the place where the

canoe was moored among some tall reeds, and, getting in with the children, she paddled away to New

Amsterdam, hoping she might reach there in time to send assistance to Middletown before the Indians

should attack it.

When Farmer Stout found that his wife had really gone off, and had taken the children with her, he began

to consider the matter seriously, and concluded that perhaps there might be something in the news which

the old Indian had brought. He consequently called together a number of the men of the village, and they

held a consultation, in which it was determined that it would be a wise thing to prepare themselves against

the threatened attack; and, arming themselves with all[Pg 66] the guns and pistols they could get, they

met together in one of the houses, which was well adapted for that purpose, and prepared to watch all

night.


They did not watch in vain, for about midnight they heard from the woods that dreadful war whoop which

the white settlers now well understood. They knew it meant the same thing as the roar of the lion, who,

after silently creeping towards his intended victim, suddenly makes the rocks echo with the sound of his

terrible voice, and then gives his fatal spring.

But although these men might have been stricken with terror, had they heard such a war cry at a time

when they were not expecting it, and from Indians to whom they were strangers, they were not so terrified

at the coming of these red men with whom, perhaps only the day before, they had been trading buttons for

venison and beans. They could not believe that these apparently mild and easy-going fellows could really

be the terrible savages they tried to make themselves appear.

So Richard Stout and his companions went boldly out, guns in hand, to meet the oncoming savages, and,

calling a parley, they declared that they had no intention of resting quietly, and allowing themselves and

families to be slaughtered and their houses burned. If the Indians, who had so long been their good

neighbors, were now determined to become bloody enemies, they would find that they would have to do a

good deal of hard fighting before they could destroy the village of Middletown; and, if they persisted in

carrying on the bloody job they had undertaken, a good[Pg 67] many of them would be killed before that

job was finished.

Now, it had been very seldom that Indians who had started out to massacre whites had met with people

who acted like this; and these red men in war paint thought it wise to consider what had been said to

them. A few of them may have had guns, but the majority were armed only with bows and tomahawks;

and these white men had guns and pistols, with plenty of powder and ball. It would clearly be unsafe to

fight them.

So, after discussing the matter among themselves and afterwards talking it over with the whites, the

Indians made up their minds, that, instead of endeavoring to destroy the inhabitants of Middletown, they

would shake hands with them and make a treaty of peace. They then retired; and on the following day a

general conference was held, in which the whites agreed to buy the lands on which they had built their

town, and an alliance was made for mutual protection and assistance. This compact was faithfully

observed as long as there were any Indians in the neighborhood, and Middletown grew and flourished.

Among the citizens of the place there were none who grew and flourished in a greater degree than the

Stout family. Although Penelope bore upon her body the scars of her wounds until the day of her death, it

is stated, upon good authority, that she lived to be one hundred and ten years old; so that it is plain that

her constitution was not injured by the sufferings and hardships of the beginning of her life in New

Jersey.

Not only did the Stouts flourish in Middletown, but some of them went a little southward, and helped to

found the town of Hopewell; and here they increased to such a degree that one of the early historians

relates that the Baptist Church there was founded by the Stouts, and that for forty-one years the religious

meetings were held in the houses of different members of the Stout family, while, at the time he wrote,

half of the congregation of the church were still Stouts, and that, all in all, there had been at least two

hundred members of that name. So the Baptist Church in Hopewell, as well as all the churches in

Middletown, owed a great deal to the good Indian who carried poor Penelope to his village, and cured her

of her wounds.

Accounts of the Shipwreck of Penelope on the Jersey Shore

abt 1640 , New Jersey and New Amsterdam

From “The History of the Stout Family First Settling in Middletown, Monmouth County, New Jersey in

1666” first published in 1823 by Capt. Nathan Stout:

“About the same time [about 1640] a ship from Amsterdam, in Holland, on her way to the said New

Amsterdam, was driven on the shore that is now called Middletown, in Monmouth County, in the State of


New Jersey, which ship was loaded with passengers, who with much difficulty got on shore. But the

Indians not long after fell upon them and butchered and killed the whole crew, as they thought, but soon

after the Indians were gone, a certain Penelope Van Princes, whose husband the Indians had killed, found

herself possessed of strength enough to creep to a hollow tree, where she remained some days. An Indian

happening to come that way, whose dog coming to the tree, where he found the said Penelope in a forlorn,

distressed condition. She was bruised very severely about the head, and her bowels protruded from a cut

across her abdomen; she kept them in with her hand. She had been in this fearful condition seven days

when the Indian found her. In his compassion he took her out of the tree and carried her to his wigwam,

where he treated her kindly and healed her wounds, and in a short time conveyed her in his canoe to New

Amsterdam, where he sold her to the Dutch, who then owned that city, now called New York.

“The man and woman from whom the whole race of Stouts descended got into the city of New

Amsterdam, where they became acquainted with each other and were married. And, notwithstanding, it

may be thought by some, that they conducted themselves with more fortitude than prudence, they

immediately crossed the bay and settled in the above said Middletown, where the said Penelope had lost

her first husband by the Indians and had been so severely wounded herself.”

An even older account of Penelope’s ordeal was published in 1790 in Benedict’s “History of the

Baptists”:

“The origin of this Baptist family is no less remarkable: for they all sprang from one woman, and she as

good as dead; her history is in the mouths of most of her posterity, and is told as follows: ‘She was born

in Amsterdam, about the year 1627; her father’s name was Van Princes. (She married in Amsterdam, and)

she and her first husband, whose name is not known, sailed for New York, then New Amsterdam, about

the year 1645. The vessel was stranded at Sandy Hook. The crew got ashore and marched toward New

Amsterdam; but Penelope’s (for that was her name) husband, being hurt in the wreck, could not march

with them. Therefore, he and his wife tarried in the woods. They had not been long in the place before the

indians killed them both (as they thought) and stripped them to the skin. However, Penelope came to,

though her skull was fractured, and her left shoulder so hacked that she could never use that arm like the

other. She was also cut across the abdomen so that her bowels appeared; these she kept in with her hand.

She continued in this situation for seven days, taking shelter in a hollow tree, and eating the excrescences

of it.

“The seventh day she saw a deer passing by with arrows sticking in it, and soon after two Indians

appeared whom she was glad to see, in hope they would put her out of her misery. Accordingly, one made

toward her, to knock her on the head; but the other, who was an elderly man, prevented him; and,

throwing his matchcoat about her, carried her to his wigwam (said to have been near the site of

Middletown village), and cured her of her wounds and bruises. After that, he took her to New

Amsterdam, and made a present of her to her countrymen, that is to say, an Indian present, expecting ten

times the value in return.

“It was in New York, that one Richard Stout married her... She was now in her 22nd year, and he in his

40th. She bore him seven sons and five daughters... The mother lived to the age of 110, and saw her

offspring multiply into 502, in about 88 years.”

Cutter Ancestry — Richard, Son Of Samuel And Elizabeth Cutter

Richard Cutter (Son Of Samuel Cutter And Elizabeth Cutter)

Born @ 1621; Died June 16, 1693

Richard Cutter became a cooper by trade (a cooper is one who makes wooden casks and barrels) and at

one time made a small oaken chest which in time has became a family heirloom. This chest is still in

existence and was in the possession of a Dr. Benjamin Cutter of Woburn, Mass. in the early 1960's.

Presumably it is still in the possessions of his heirs.

Richard was given admission as a "freeman" on June 2, 1641 and thereby was entitled to suffrage in the

election of the colonial magistrates. The admission as a freeman was a highly coveted privilege desired

by every man at the time. In 1642, Richard Cutter became a member of the "Artillery Company. This

group met primarily for improvement in discipline and tactics and was comprised of the leaders of the

"train-bands" and the principle magistrates and citizens. According to the notes in "The Cutter Book of

New England," the Artillery Company "May be considered the germ from which all military character in

New England, if not the U.S. has sprung." This Artillery Company is still in existence today under the

name of "Ancient and Honorable Artillery of Boston."

Just as many young men today, Richard, in his youth, struggled with his strong will and fierce drive for

independence. He poignantly wrote at one time, "I had much opposition of heart against my parents and

those that were over me. And so I came to this place (New England) and coming by sea and having a

hard voyage, still my heart was dead and fearless, and I found my heart as stubborn as before..."

Around the year 1644, Richard married his first wife Elizabeth, whose surname is unknown. Together

they had 9 children. Elizabeth died at the age of 42. Her tombstone is one of the oldest now standing in

the ancient burying ground at Old Cambridge. The inscription on her tombstone reads:

Here lyes Y Body of Elizabeth Cutter wife to Richard Cutter

Aged about 42 years

Died March 5, 1661-2

About two years after Elizabeth died, Richard remarried. His new wife, the former Frances (Periman)

Amsden (or Emsden) was the widow of Issac Amsden, of Cambridge. They made their home together in

Menotomy. Though they enjoyed a good life together, Richard requested that he be buried in Cambridge

near his first wife, Elizabeth. He wrote his will in April of 1693 and passed away in June of the same

year at the age of 72. A copy of Richard's will reads:

Will Of Richard Cutter, April 19th 1693

In the name of God, Amen. I Richard Cutter of Cambridge in Mattachusetts Colony in N. England, being

at present weake and sick in budy but of sound and perfect mind and memory, and waiting for my great

and last change, do ordain and make this my last will etc. Item. I will and bequeath unto my daughter

Mary (now) Sanger eight pounds to be payd in good pay. Item. I will unto my daughters Hepzibah,

Huhamah, and Sarah, each of them ten pounds...I will unto my five sones, Samuel, William, Ephraim,

Gersham, and Nathaniell all my lands and meadows within the limits of Charleston to be equally divided

amongst them...my house and homestall with swamp on Notomie Brook and woodlotts on the rock.

Richard Cutter was buried, as per his request in Cambridge. His monumental stones are in the western

part of the yard, eight paces from the Obelisk of Livermore. The inscription is still amazingly legible and

reads:

Here lyes Y body of Richard Cutter

Aged about 72 years

009 Richard Stout — Biography

Richard Stout

(Bet. 1611-1612 — 1705)

The Stouts of New Jersey are descended from John Stout of Nottinghamshire, England, whose son

Richard emigrated to Long Island about 1640. A vessel from Holland, numbering among its passengers a

man named Van Princes and his wife Penelope, was stranded near Sandy Hook about the same time. The

young man having been ill on the voyage was unable to travel further, so they remained on the Jersey

coast where he was killed by the Indians, and Penelope, badly wounded, left to die. She crept to a hollow

tree where she was discovered by a friendly Indian, who cared for her wounds until her recovery.

Afterwards she met and married Richard Stout. This incident is fully described on page 65 of "Smith's

History of New Jersey."

Richard Stout was one of the patentees of Gravesend, Long Island, in 1645, and in 1665 he was one of the

twelve men to whom the Monmouth patent was granted, and so was one of the original and permanent

settlers of East Jersey. Richard and Penelope Stout settled on a farm about three miles west of the village

of Middletown, and are buried there.

In Richard Stout's will dated June 9, 1703, on file in the office of the Secretary of State, Trenton, he

mentions his sons, John, Richard, James Jonathan, David and Benjamin, his daughters, Mary, Alice and

Sarah; his daughter-in-law, Mary Stout, and her son John, and his "kinswoman, Mary Stout, the daughter

formerly of Peter Stout."

***SOURCE INFORMATION***

Pioneers of Old Hopewell

Record of the settlers of Hopewell Valley written by Ralph Ege in 1908

Richard Stout, an Englishman, born in Nottinghamshire, Eng., son of John Stout, m. Penelope VanPrincis

or VanPrinces, who, as claimed by some, was born in 1602, but by others, in 1622. The latter date is most

likely the correct one. See the story of Penelope Stout in this Appendix, under Labaw.

The marriage of Richard and Penelope Stout must have occurred in 1644, and not in 1624, as many think.

The date of settlement in Middletown, N. J., has been given as 1648, which was shortly after their

marriage, which also is unquestionably wrong, — the real date of their settlement in Middletown being

about 1667, or about 20 years later than the earlier date.

The union of Richard and Penelope Stout resulted in at least ten children. Nathan Stout, of Hopewell, N.

J., who in 1878, published a small history of the family, gives the names of the children in the following

order: John, Richard, Jonathan, Peter, James, Benjamin, David, Deliverance, Sarah, Penelope. This,

however, as the daughters all come after the sons, is apparently not the true order. In N. J. Archives, First

Series, Vol. XXI, Calendar N. J. Records, 1664-1703, p. 46. E. J. Deeds, etc., Liber No. 3, Reversed Side,

we find the following:

"1675. Here begins the Rights of Land due according to the Concessions &c"

"Richard Stout of Midleton, wife, sons John, Richard, James, Peter, daughters Mary, Alice, Sarah. Mary

Stout is the wife of James Bound; Alice Stout, wife of John Trogmorton, all 1800 a."

There were three minor sons later.

According to N. J. Archives, Vol. XXIII, First Series, abstract of wills, Vol. I, 1670-1730, p. 446:

"1703, June 9. Stout, Richard, Senior, of Middletown, will of, (???) wife (???), sons, (???) John, Richard,

James, Jonathan, David, Benjamin; daughters, (???) Mary, Alse, Sarah; daughter in law Marey Stoute,

and her son John, kinswoman Mary Stoute, daughter of Peter Stout. Real and Personal property.

Executors, — sons John and Jonathan &c &c"


As will be seen, the lists above given all differ in the order of the names. Nathan Stout mentions

daughters Deliverance and Penelope, whose names are not enumerated in either of the other lists; while

the second list omits the youngest three sons, who were born evidently after 1667. But the third list omits

Peter, who, however, in the meantime had died, leaving his widow Mary and a son John and a daughter

Mary. Possibly Richard and Penelope Stout had twelve children instead of ten, seven sons and five

daughters, Deliverance and Penelope having died before 1667, or at any rate before the Land Grants were

recorded between that and 1675, although leaving descendants. It is true, Nathan Stout of Hopewell, may

have been wrong in his mention of these two names, or they may in some way have been identical with

Mary and Alice. Did these two have double names?

John Stout, although we do not know to whom, was married Jan. 13, 1671-2. Jonathan Stout married Ann

Bollen, and lived at Hopewell, N. J. This couple had a son Samuel, b. 1709, who married the widow of

James Stout, the mother of seven children by her first husband, and had an only son Samuel, b. 1738 (or

as Nathan Stout says, Feb., 1732), who married Ann VanDyke. This son was a Justice of the Peace and

also for a time served in New Jersey State Legislature. Samuel and Ann VanDyke had a son John, who m.

Hannah Rosencrans, and their son Samuel J., m. Mary Labaw, but what Mary Labaw, we do not know, —

probably the daughter of David, and granddaughter of Francis. Dr. J. E. Stillwell, of New York City, has

given us some of this information by letter. He is the author of several volumes of Genealogical and

Historical Miscellany.

David Stout, b. 1669, another son of Richard and Penelope, m. 1688, Rebecca Ashton, and lived at

Middletown, N. J. He had eight children, but the order in which we have them is uncertain, viz.: James,

Freegift, David, Joseph, Benjamin, Rebecca, Sarah, Deliverance.

James Stout, of Upper Freehold, afterwards of Amwell, N. J., son of David, m. 1712, (Jersey Genealogy,

No. 1452, Newark Evening News, says 1715, why?), Catharine Simpson or Simson. In Amwell he lived

where Abraham Runkle lived in 1878, near Wertsville. He had a son James, b. 1715, who m. Jemima

Reeder. This couple had a son Caleb who m. Elizabeth Labaw, daughter of Francis Labaw and

Deliverance Stout. Deliverance Stout (dau. of David and Rebecca Ashton Stout), who m. Francis Labaw,

who was born in England of French Protestant parents, had six children: Morris, David, Samuel, Daniel,

Moses and Elizabeth, which Elizabeth, as noted, m. Caleb Stout.

David Labaw, son of Francis and Deliverance Labaw, m. Mary Stout, sister of Caleb and dau. of James

and Jemima Reeder Stout, and had eight children, as follows:

Charles, James, Francis, Lewis, David, Deliverance, Mary, Daniel, which see under Labaw in this

Appendix, though they are given there in a different order. The connection of the Warnes with the Stouts

is through Charles Labaw, whose grandson, John C. Labaw, son of Lewis, m. for his second wife, Mary

Warne, dau. of George and Sarah (Fulmer) Warne.

Biography

Middletown, New Jersey

Richard Stout, son of John Stout of Nottinghamshire, England, was one of the first settlers of Gravesend,

L.I. in the year 1643. In 1646, he was allotted plantation lot No. 18. At Gravesend, his name appears but


seldom on records, but was without a doubt a farmer. In 1661, he purchased lot No. 26 of Edward Griffin,

and from this time on we find frequent mention of him in various undertakings. On January 25, 1664,

Richard (along with five other men of Gravesend) made the first purchase of land in Monmouth Couny,

New Jersey from the Indians. Popomora, a Sachem, signing the deed on the behalf of his tribe. A year or

two later the settlement of Monmouth had begun. Richard Stout being one of the twelve men named in

the Monmouth patent. In the allotment of town lots at Middletown (December 30, 1667) he was given

home lot No. 6 with a large amount of land. In 1669 he was one of the Overseers. In 1675 he received

land in right of himself, wife and sons. For many years Richard Stout was one of the most prominent men

in Middletown, and in 1690 he signed a deed of conveyance, to take effect after the death of himself and

wife, transferring to their son Benjamin the plantation whereon they lived at Hop River. Richard died

about 1705. His will dated June 9, 1703, and probated Oct. 23, 1705 and names his wife, children and

grandchildren. The inventory of his personal estate (chiefly horses, cattle and hogs), taken Oct. 6, 1705,

shows a valuation of about 64 pounds.

Tobacco Grower/Land Owner

From Tanner's "Province of New Jersey", pg. 61.

Richard found friends among some English settlers who because of their religion had fled to New

Amsterdam from neighboring colonies, among them were Lady Deborah Moody, her son, Sir Henry

Moody, Richard Slater, William Browne, and Thomas Applegate. Together they obtained a charter from

the Dutch governor to found the first English settlement on Long Island at Graves End. Richard was a

resident of New Amsterdam in the spring of 1643. He was employed by Governor Kieft as a soldier in the

February uprising of that year. He was named under the 'Monmouth Patent' and accompanied Lady

Moody and others to settle Gravesend between her arrival in June and October of that year. Thirty-eight

others joined Richard where he settled in 1644 on Plantation No. 18, which he had purchased five years

earlier. In 1646, he received lot 16 in Gravesend where he grew tobacco. In 1657, 17 of his 20 acres were

under cultivation. In 1661, he bought an adjoining farm of William Griffin. Richard became the largest

land owner of the group. He may have married when he settled there, if so his first wife was dead when

he met Penelope. Penelope convinced him to settle in Middletown near the Indian tribe that had helped

her. There are records of Richard's attempts to settle Middletown in 1655; but because of Indian troubles

this was aborted at that time. Later, a general conference was held in which the white men agreed to buy

the lands from the Indians. Deeds were granted, signed and duly paid for and witnessed. This led to

relative peace in the area.

He married (1) Patience Brewster, daughter of Elder Brewster on 5 August 1624 Patience Brewster,

daughter of Elder Brewster (2) on 1 April 1635 Mary Collier, daughter of William Collier; (3) between

1662 and 1668 Apphia (Quicke) Freeman; and (4) before 1 August 1668 Mary (_____) Howes, widow of

Thomas Howes (Ella Florence Elliot, “Gov. Thomas Prence’s Widow Mary, Formerly the Widow of

Thomas Howes, and the Inventory of Her Estate,” MD 6:230; Dawes-Gates 2:692 gives other dates for

(3) and (4) and supplies the name Quicke). His children by Patience Brewster were Rebecca, who married

Edmond Freeman; Mercy, who married John Freeman; Hannah, who married (1) Nathaniel Mayo and (2)

Jonathan Sparrow; and Thomas, who died before 13 March 1672/73 in England. His children by Mary

Collier were Jane, who married Mark Snow as his second wife; Mary, who married John Tracy; Sarah,

who married Jeremiah Howes; Elizabeth, who married Arthur Howland; and Judith, who married (1)

Isaac Barker and (2) William Tubbs (Dawes-Gates 2:693). In his will dated 13 March 1672/73, proved 5

June 1673, he named his wife Mary; his seven surviving daughters, Jane, the wife of Mark Snow; Mary

Tracy; Sarah Howes; Elizabeth Howland; Judith Barker; Hannah; and Mercy; his grandson Theophilus

Mayo; his granddaughter Susanna Prence, the daughter of his deceased son Thomas; his son John

Freeman; Lydia Sturtevant; and his brother Thomas Clarke (MD 3:203). His chagrin over Arthur

Howland’s eventually successful suit for the hand of his daughter Elizabeth is related in the text, and he

probably was not happy over the marriage of two of his daughters to sons of Edmond Freeman. The

mention in his will of his deceased son Thomas’s daughter Susanna Prence would indicate that he died

without surviving male issue in the Prence line.

010 Edmund Freeman ‐ Biography

Edmund Freeman Short Bio From Website

EDMOND FREEMAN, SON OF JOHN FREEMAN

Generation 2

According to "Gates and Allied Families by Mary Walton Ferris, published 1931, Edmund Freeman, senior, son of John Freeman (see source 389/) lived in Pulborough and was buried there on June 6, 1623 at St Mary's Parish. Gravestones in the area surrounding the Parish Church, because of aging, cannot be deciphered. This we verified when Nancy Jean and I visited the Church and burial yard in 1992. It was also true of the graveyards at the Parish churches in Billingshurst and Cowfold. Since we did not visit the Parish Church in Shipley, we do not know what information may be there on gravestones.

His will, dated May 30th and administered on June 18, 1623 disposed of over 800 pounds besides various lands and tenements.

He married Alice Coles of Amberly, Sussex county, on Jan 1, 1591-2 in Pulborough.

Alice Coles was buried on Feb 14, 1651-2 at Reigate, Surrey co. She had been living there after Edmond's burial in Pulborough with • daughter Alice and her husband John Beauchamp (one of the major financiers of the Pilgrim venture to the New Colony).

Gates indicates that there were six children, but "Thomas Tupper and His Descendants by Frankling W Tupper, published 1945, indicates there was yet another one" Ellen, aka Eleanor". There was a younger sister Eleanor, see below, born in 1603, but she died in 1618. Perhaps that is why Ellen was later known as "Eleanor". These seven children are as follows: Cl Ellen Freeman aka Eleanor, "Dowager Countess of Essex" "Old Man's Wife", who married Robert Rich, 2nd Earl of Warwick. According to "Warwick and Holland" by John Louis Beatty, published 1965, p 82, "To a large extent the Earl of Warwick had acted as a sort of patron saint to the Pilgrims in 1620, when he tried to get the little Separatist group to settle in Virginia (a colony and company with which he had been personally and financially directly involved since 1612 and which his friends and associates had promoted from the beginning)....To one historian, 'It is a striking fact in Warwick's career that he was the only person of high rank and influence connected with all the bodies with whom the Leyden pilgrims negotiated before they could secure a home for themselves in the New World".

As noted above, Ellen Freeman, aka Eleanor, "Old Man's Wife" was married in March 1646 to Robert Rich, 2nd Earl of Warwick. He was at that time 59 years of age.

Other chidren of Edmond Freeman, Senior, and Alice Coles included:

C2 Edmond Freeman, the Immigrant, born 1594; baptized July 25, l594 at St Mary's Church in Pulborough, Sussex county, who married, first, Bennett Hodsoll of Cowfold on June 6, 1617, and then, second, Elizabeth Rayment at Shipley, Sussex county. All of his children were issue of Bennett (Hodsoll).

C3 Alice Freeman, born in 1592 In Pulborough, baptized April 15, 1601 in Pulborough and married John Beauchamp of London and Reigate, Surrey county in Pulborough on December 27, 1615. John Beauchamp, brother-in-law to Edmond Freeman, the Immigrant, was one of the major financiers of the Pilgrims' venture to the New World. When Edmund Freeman, Senior, died and was buried on May 2, 1623 at St. Mary's Parish in Pulborough, his widow Alice (Coles) began living with daughter Alice and son-in-law John Beauchamp in Reigate, Surrey county.

Henry Rolfe Brother-In-Law To Pocahontas

John Rolfe and Dorothea Mason had three sons. The first, Henry, born in 1583, migrated to

Massachusetts. The second was the well know John Rolfe who was born in 1585 and married

Pocahontas in 1614. They had one son William Smith Rolfe and all Rolfes that are related to

Pocahontas are descended from him. Henry was Pocahontas’ brother in law. Henry married

Honour Rolfe (a cousin?) and had three sons and four daughters

Henry Rolfe Biography

Henry Rolfe

Born, 1585 England

MARRIED Honor Rolfe (sic) (d. 1650) ??

CHILDREN Anna (ca. 1626- 1678)

Hannah, b. in England; m. Richard Dole in 1647

John, b. in England probably; m. Mary Scullard, 1656 (11 children); d. Newbur, Mass., 1681

Benjamin, b. 1638, in Newbury, Mass. ; m. Apphia Hale (12 children)

DIED, March 1, 1643, Newbury, Essex Co., Mass.

NOTES: Henry Rolfe’s father (John Rolfe, b. ca. 1650) was the brother of Honor Rolfe’s

maternal grandfather (believe it or not), as Honor’s mother Agnes also married a Rolfe (Richard,

b. ca. 1567) who may or may not have been directly related to her.

Henry and family are said to have emigrated to New England with Henry’s brother John and a

sister, though apparently not on the very same ship. John and family (described differently in two

published transcriptions I’m looking at presently) sailed on the Confidence in 1638. There is no

mention of Henry in either of the transcriptions; presumably he and his family came earlier, since

son Benjamin was born on this side in that year. Henry is listed as owning land in Newbury in

1642.

Through the kindness of distant cousin Jonathan Rolfe, descendant of Henry’s brother John, I

have two more transcriptions for the Confidence voyage of 1638, indicating that John (aged 50)

sailed with his wife “Ann” and their daughter Hester, plus an 18-year-old servant named Whittle

or Thomas Wittle. The ship sailed from Southampton on April 24, 1638, arriving in Boston,

under Master John Gibson (or Jobson), carrying 200 tons.

Another distant cousin, Marie Thurman-Vann, adds interesting side-notes to this story. She points

out that servant Thomas Wittle is part of a long-standing family relationship with the Rolfes.

Honor Rolfe’s great grandfather Henry Rolfe, in his 1558 will, leaves items to “Alis Whytehere,

my servant,” while her husband’s father, John Rolfe, in his 1625 will, leaves money to “Richard


Whiteer,” who was actually married to Mary Rolfe, sister of the Henry and John in this

generation. (Marrying a servant was not at all uncommon in Shakespeare’s time, and of course

did not alter Thomas Wittle’s servant status, who — according to Marie — was the son of

Richard and Mary and thus servant to his own uncle. The coincidence of the same servant family

on both sides of the Henry Henry-Honor marriage confirms that their two Rolfe lines are fairly

closely related.) Marie continues: “Thomas [Wittle]’s descendant was John Greenleaf Whittier,

who wrote a poem [“Pentucket”] about his kinsman, Samuel Rolfe, who went to Harvard and

became a minister and was killed with an axe thrown to his head standing in front of his home in

Massachusetts.” (According to Whittier’s own notes on the poem, it was Benjamin Rolfe, and he

was killed by a shot through his front door.)

Henry Rolfe And His Wife, Honour Rolfe

From others info:

“Henry Rolfe’s father (John Rolfe, b. ca. 1650) was the brother of Honor Rolfe’s maternal

grandfather (believe it or not), as Honor’s mother Agnes also married a Rolfe (Richard, b. ca.

1567) who may or may not have been directly related to her.

was killed by a shot through his front door.)”

From “The Early Rolfe Settlers of New England”

Henry was noted as “Ye son of John Rofe”. He was the son of John and Honor Rolfe, his

mother’s maiden name not being known

Book I — First Generation

Henry Rolfe and his wife, Honour Rolfe


To the best that this author has been able to determine, Henry, Honour and their three eldest

children, Ann, Hannah and John were the first family bearing the surname Rolfe to immigrate to

New England. In 1635 they settled in Newburyport, Massachusetts in that part of the town that in

1764 separated as the town of Newbury. In 1646 Henry was registered as a “Proprietor of Lands”.

He was not recorded as a Freeman, probably because of his early death (1643). They are the

progenitors of the largest Rolfe family in the United States, estimated by the author to number 60

to 70 percent of those currently bearing the Rolfe surname and the allied lines of their female

descendants.

It is not known on which vessel they sailed on to New England. They have often been

erroneously noted as having sailed as passengers on the “Confidence” as did his brother, John

Rolfe, and family and his nephew, Thomas Whittier, ancestor of the famous poet of Haverhill,

Massachusetts, John Greenleaf Whittier.

Henry and Honour Rolfe were first cousins, once removed. Henry’s father was the brother of

Honour’s maternal grandfather. This on Page I — 1.2. The will of Richard Rolfe (1598),

Honour’s father, mentions Henry and Thomas Rof as his brothers-in-law, William Sanders as his

brother (actually a half-brother), his wife Agnes, his daughter Agnes, his daughter Honner Rof,

John Rofe as his brother-in-law and John Rofe as his “onkele” (undoubtedly meaning his wife’s

uncle).

010 Robert Welles — Biography

Robert Welles Of Stourton, Whichford, Warwickshire, England

by Mark H. Welchley, Sept. 2010

Robert Welles: baptized 6 Nov 1540, at Whichford, St. Michael, Warwickshire, England. He died 24 Sep

1617 Stourton, Whichford, Warwick, England. He was buried at St. Michael’s churchyard in Whichford.

He married, probably in Warwickshire, England, Alice _______. This marriage is not recorded at

Whichford, St. Michael. She died about 1615, at Stourton, Whichford, Warwickshire, England.

Children:

1. Alice? Welles: born about 1592 Stourton, Whichford, Warwick, England. Married ____ Hunt, probably

a son of Nicholas Hunt. She was a deponent in the court case involving the Burmingham land.

2. Robert Welles: Probably born in Stourton Whichford, Warwickshire, England. He was buried 27 Jun

1627 at Tidmington, Worcestershire, England. He married, 1603 in Stourton, Whichford, Warwickshire,

England Joan Tymms of Warwickshire. She was born about 1596 and was buried 23 May 1627 in

Tidmington, Worcester, England. His will was written 10 Jun 1627 and proved 7 Feb 1627/28. His

brother Thomas was one of the executors. Robert Welles named children in his will: Samuel, Hannah,

Mary, Hester and John. Joint executors were “brother” William Tymms, brother Thomas Welles and

Erasmus Atkins. It was witnessed by Thomas Wells and John Welles.

3. Thomas Welles: He was born about 1590, in Stourton, Whichford, Warwickshire, England, the son of

Robert Welles. He died 14 Jan 1659/60, Wethersfield, Hartford, Connecticut. He married, 5 Jul 1615 in

Long Marston, Gloucestershire, England, Alice Tomes, the daughter of John Tomes and Ellen Gunne.

She was born before 1593 in Stourton, Whichford, Warwickshire, England and died about 1640-1646 in

Wethersfield, Hartford, Connecticut. Thomas Welles married (second), 1646 at Wethersfield,

Connecticut, Elizabeth Deming Foote. She was the daughter of Jonathan Deming and Elizabeth Gilbert

and sister of John Deming and widow of Nathaniel Foote. She was born 1595 in Colchester, Essex,

England and died 28 Jul 1683 in Wethersfield, Connecticut.

[Research Note: Elizabeth Welles: born 1611-16, perhaps in Stourton, Whichford Warwick, She died 9

Mar 1682 at Stratford, Connecticut. This Elizabeth is widely reported to have married John Curtis Jr. of

Stratford, Fairfield, Connecticut about 1640. She is reported to be a sister of Governor Thomas Welles.

Her birth date of 1611 at the earliest would make her father 71 years old at her birth and her mother age

68—a highly unlikely event.]

Robert Welles is readily accepted as the son of Thomas Welles (died in 1558) and his wife Elizabeth

Bryan (died in1553). Robert Welles was probably born in the hamlet of Stourton, Whichford,

Warwickshire, England, though written records of the event do not exist. His wife was named Alice, but

her maiden surname is not known.

We know that Robert Welles was the father of Governor Thomas Welles of Connecticut based on the

lawsuit papers that were filed concerning a piece of land in Burmingham, Warwickshire that was given to

Thomas and his wife Alice Tomes by his father and older brother. A nephew of Governor Welles later

disputed the ownership of this land. These legal papers also reveal that Robert’s father was also named

Thomas Welles and also revealed the names of at least some of Robert’s children.

It is generally agreed that the governor’s father was the Robert Welles who was buried at St. Michael’s

Whichford, Warwickshire 24 Sep 1617, and that Governor Thomas Welles was born around 1590 or

perhaps as early as 1585. Most family histories also say that Robert Welles was the individual baptized at

St. Michael’s Whichford 6 Nov 1540. There are records that show he was underage 8 Oct 1558. His uncle

Walter, in his will of 1 Dec 1577, made Robert his residuary legatee and sole executor. Walter Welles is

known to have been taxed in Tredington, Tidmington in Worchestershire and Burmington and Ditchford

in Warwickshire and it is possible that Robert Welles acquired considerable land and possessions from his


uncle’s estate. He certainly obtained land in Burmington as he granted this land to his son Thomas

Welles.

The only problem with a 1540 birth for Robert is that he would have been 50 years old when his son

Thomas Welles was most likely born. This is certainly possible, if a bit unusual for this era.

If he was age 21 in 1577 Robert Welles could have been born as late as 1556. In fact, there is a

christening of a Robert Welles in Whichford on 15 Jun 1557. This second christening for Robert rather

than the 1540 christening might make him younger when his son Thomas was born, though it creates

other problems trying to make the previously mentioned documents fit. It would perhaps also make

Robert’s own father fairly old when he was born. Robert’s father Thomas Welles died in 1558 and this

would be soon after this 2nd christening date for Robert Welles.

Although Robert Welles’s wife is only known as Alice, and their marriage is not recorded in Whichford,

many family histories report that she was born in 1543. I know of no documentation for this date. This

creates a problem because she would have been 47 years old in 1590, the birth year of her son Thomas.

That seems improbable, though biologically possible. There is the alternate possibility that she was

considerably younger than her husband. I choose, therefore, not to record a birth year for her. Some

sources indicate that her maiden name was Hunt, but I know of no basis for that fact. One of Robert’s

daughters did marry a man named Hunt and she made a deposition in the Burmingham lawsuit.

Although some family trees report that Robert Welles had a number of children, I can only reliably

document the three noted above. There are no surviving baptismal records for any of them and Robert did

not leave a will. The names of his children come from their involvement in the Burmingham land lawsuit.

There is no evidence to connect the Welles family to any royal line or to the County of Essex, England. It

is more likely that the Welles family of Warwickshire were, in medieval times, yeomen or merchants who

eventually gained enough wealth to become small landowners.

Whichford Parish, Warwickshire, England is located in the rolling hills of south Warwickshire. It is

bounded on the south by Oxfordshire and on the north by the river Stour as far west as the hamlet of

Stourton.

The village of Whichford has a church dedicated to St. Michael, which dates back to 1150 when the nave

was constructed. The building was considerably expanded in size about 1200. Improvements and

additions continued through the 15th century. Much of the medieval portion of the building remains

including glass and an octagonal Norman font. Even as late as 1941 the houses of Whichford village were

made of local stone with thatched roofs, probably little changed from late medieval times.

Stourton or Stowerton is a nearby hamlet that formerly was partly in Cherington Parish and partly in

Whichford Parish and was not fully transferred to Cherington until 1910. All christenings, burials and

marriages for the Welles family seem to be recorded in Whichford, though some key family events, for

some reason, are not found in these parish records or in any available records from nearby parishes.

[Research note: A Thomas Welles married Elsabeth Haux 25 Nov 1581 in Cherington, Warwickshire,

England. The hamlet of Stourton was split between Cherington and Whichford Parish, so this Thomas

Welles is likely related to the family of this line]

Willliams Family History

The Williams families of America descend from more than a score of different ancestors. That several of

them were related to Richard of Taunton seems certain, but the degree has not been traced in various

instances. The immigrant ancestor of the following family was the progenitor of a race unusually prolific

of divines, civilians and warriors of the name who have honored the country of their birth. The number

and high character and strong influence of the ministers of the gospel of this family is remarkable. Among

the distinguished men of the family have been the founder of Williams College, a bishop of the diocese of

Connecticut, a president of Yale College, a chief justice, and many other learned and useful men.

(I) Robert Williams appears by name among the early members of the church in Roxbury, Massachusetts,

where he became a freeman, May 2. 1638. The place of his birth and early life was for a long time a

matter of conjecture: but in 1893, two hundred years after his death, there was found in Norwich,

England, an indenture of apprenticeship of Nicholas, son of the late Stephen Williams, of Yarmouth,

cordwainer (shoemaker), to Robert Williams, and another record stating that Robert was in 1635 warden

of the guild of cordwainers and sealer of leather for the city of Norwich. Later was found in the register of

the church of St. Nicholas at Great Yarmouth, a record of the marriage of Stephen Williams and Margaret

Cooke, September 22, 1605. Also baptisms of the following named children: Robert, December 11, 1608,

Nicholas, August 11, 1616: John, February 2, 1618; Frances, June 10, 1621. There was an elder sister

Ann;

Robert was born in July, 1607; was baptized when eighteen months old in December, 1608; was married

to Elizabeth Stalham probably before 1630. and had four children, two sons and two daughters, born to

him in England, all of whom accompanied him to America.

In 1905 it was discovered that Elizabeth Stalham was baptized in 1595, which shows that she was nearly

thirteen years older than her husband. “She was of a good family and had been delicately reared and when

her husband desired to come to America, though a truly religious woman, she dreaded the undertaking

and shrunk from the hardships to be encountered. While the subject was still under consideration she had

a dream foreshadowing that if she went to America she would become the mother of a long line of worthy

ministers of the gospel. The dream so impressed her that she cheerfully rose up and began to prepare to

leave her home and kindred for the new and distant land.” The dream was fulfilled, but not in the

mother’s day. for she died October 24, 1674, leaving no son in the christian ministry. Nine years

afterward, her grandsons, John and William Williams, cousins, graduated from Harvard College, two of a

class of three and the day of fulfillment began.

Robert Williams was much interested in education and made liberal arrangements to assist the free

schools, was a subscriber to and for many years a trustee of the funds raised for their benefit, and was one

of the most influential men in town affairs. He disposed of his property by will, which is still extant. The

children of John and Elizabeth, so far as known, were: Samuel, Mary, a daughter, John, Isaac, Stephen,

Thomas.

Williams Book 1929

Robert Williams, known as “Robert Williams of Roxbury”, was the first of this line in America. He was

the son of Stephen Williams of Great Yarmouth, County Norfolk; and the grandson of Robert Williams of

West Somerton, of a sixteenth century family which reaches back to a considerable antiquity residing in

that town.

Robert Williams of Roxbury was born in July, 1607; baptized at Great Yarmouth, Dec. 11, 1608; was a

freeman of Norwich in 1630; and warden of his Guild in 1635. He was a cordwainer, or shoemaker, at the

time when that term included the entire business, from the capitalist who supplied the place of

manufacture to the cobbler who drove the pegs.

Before coming to America, Robert Williams married Elizabeth Stalham (or Stratton). She was a

gentlewoman, unaccustomed to hardships, and demurred to the proposed emigration; but she was very

devout. So when she had a vision which predicted that, if she went to America she would become the

foremother of a long line of worthy ministers of the gospel, she hesitated no longer. Of course the

prophecy could not be fulfilled in her day; but Robert Williams of Roxbury is the ancestor of many

divines, civilians, and other worthies who have honored the county of their birth.

Robert Williams of Norwich emigrated to Massachusetts in 1637, coming in the “John and Dorothy”, of

Ipswich, and arriving in Boston, June 20, 1637. (Another record says that he sailed from Great Yarmouth

on the ship “Rose”, and landed in Boston in 1635.) He was freeman of Roxbury, Mass., in 1638; and

member of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company in 1644. He was one of the substantial

contributors to the first free school in America — a fact which should give great satisfaction to his

descendants.

His wife Elizabeth died at Roxbury, July 8, 1674. His second wife was Martha Strong, who died Dec. 22,

1704. He died in 1693. His grave cannot be located in the Roxbury burying-ground, though those of his

wife Elizabeth and his son Samuel are found.

Description from “Once Upon Quoketaug” by Rudy J. Favretti.

Robert was a puritan who set foot in Boston in 1637 having sailed on the ship ROSE from Great

Yarmouth, England, accompanied by his wife, four children and two servants.

While a resident of Norwich, England, he was a freeman, sealer of leather, a cordwaniner by vocation,

and warden of his guild.

He had been a member of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company of Boston, and resided in

Roxbury.

Thomas Morgan

Thomas built Pencoed (pronounced "Pen-Koyd") Castle, about one km. from the villiage of Llandevaud

in Monmouthshire (now the county of Gwent).

Thomas was Middle Temple in the law courts in London in 1567-77. He then became a Sheriff in 1581,

and a member of Parliament in 1589.

Pencoed Castle

Also known as, or recorded in historical documents as; Pencoyd

In the community of Langstone. In the historic county of Monmouthshire (Modern authority of Newport,

preserved county of Gwent).

This site has been described as a Masonry Castle. Confidence: This site was certainly a medieval

fortification or palace. Masonry ruins/remnants remains. Moat and round SW tower may be relics of a

castle held in 1270 by Sir Richard de la More, and in 1306 by Maurice and Walter de Kemys. It passed to

the Morgans of Tredegar in C15 and a big new mansion on the east side and the gatehouse on the west

side were built by Sir Thomas Morgan in c1490-1500. The gatehouse and corner tower are ruined and the

mansion lies in a gutted and derelict state, though still with some flooring and the roof more or less intact.

A near square enclosure, c.44m E-W by 38m, defined by ruinous walls, towers and buildings, with a

moat(?) adapted as a garden feature. Although the form of the round SW tower has suggested a medieval

origin, the castle may be of one C16. build, the gatehouse and E range, together with gardens/landscaping,

being of this period.

010 Thomas Tupper — Biography

Pioneering Ancestor

Thomas Tupper, a member of a family that had lived for centuries in the South Downs area of Sussex,

England. Thomas born in the village of Bury, Sussex in 1578 apparently firt came to the New World in

1621. He then returned to England and came back to Massachusetts in 1624, returned again to England

and then sailed back to America in 1634 to stay for good.

In 1637, he and nine other Puritans traveled from Saugus, just north of Boston, to Cape Cod, where they

founded the Cape's first town, Sandwich. Thomas, with his wife, Anne Hodgson (third wife, two others

died in England), build his house there and it stood for nearly 300 years on Tupper Road, burned down in

the 1920s. Site is marked with a large boulder and commemorative palque.

The Tupper Family

England and United States

The birthplace of THOMAS TUPPER, the emigrant ancestor of the Tupper family of America, was the

Parish of Bury in County Sussex, England. The name itself is of Anglo-Saxon origin of the earliest form,

derived from the occupation of the person known. During the 8th Century, a male sheep or ram was a

tupp, and the breeder of tupps or rams was a tupman or tupper. One of the most important occupations of

South Downs in West Sussex, was the breeding of sheep, and in later years they were famous for the fine

quality of mutton. There is a farm on the fringe of South Downs, overlooking the Isle of Wight, still

owned by Tuppers.

THOMAS TUPPER'S father was HENRY TUPPER and his grandfather was RICHARD TUPPER, both

of County Sussex. It was possible to identify them by the study of biographies (1563-1624), recorded

deeds and wills, tax rolls, post mortem, and other documentary evidence. The records of the Parish of

Bury exist only in manuscript form in the British Museum at London, and are not readily accessible, so

that it is not possible to present a complete record of the families of Henry and Richard Tupper.

Wills on file and other probate documents in the Ecclesiastical Courts of Canterbury and Winchester,

wherein it was the custom to mention the deceased's occupation or station in life, reveal the TUPPERS

were yeomen, husbandmen, fishermen, shoemakers, weavers, wool-combers, shepherds, etc. While none

of the immediate progenitors of Thomas Tupper were classed as "GENTLEMEN" there is abundant

evidence that they were property and landowners on the tax rolls as men of means. The University of

Cambridge record that several Tuppers of an earlier generation matriculated there. Richard Tupper,

grandfather of Thomas, was pastor of the Church at Bury.

HENRY TUPPER was a Puritan, but was not a fanatic and maintained friendly relations with those of his

acquaintance, who still stayed with the Church of England. Through one William Greer, Merchant of

London, Henry Tupper met Thomas Hampton, Cordwaiver of St. Sepulcher's of London, to whom he

apprenticed his son Thomas from 1592 to 1599. Thus for 7 years Thomas Tupper was a worker in leather

and learned his trade of shoemaker.

It was while in London that Thomas Tupper became acquainted with prominent London Merchants who

sponsored the first settling of what is now New England. The first departure from England came about

1621, when he was one of the crew with Captain William Prince, and sailed for the West Indies, for

Browne and Cradock of London. During this voyage he learned the craft of carpentry to add to his trade

of shoemaker. He made 3 trips and in these sailings, Thomas Tupper was listed as one of the crew,

worked at his trade, and received wages as well as a part of the profits. Thomas Tupper, from all data

obtainable did not marry until he was 44 years of age. He was married twice in England, losing both

wives by death before 1635.


THOMAS TUPPER was born at Bury, County Sussex, England in 1578 and died 1676. He married

Katherine Gator, of Parich Chelmsford, England in 1622. There were 2 children — Katherine and Robert.

Robert died in infancy. After his wife Katherin's death Thomas married Susan Turnar, in 1628 — there

were also 2 children — Thomas and Robert. Thomas also died in infancy and his wife Susan died in

1634. After her death Thomas was left with a girl of 12 and a boy of 2. Just when and how they came to

America is not known. Thomas married a third time in America — a widow of Topsfield, Mass., Ann

Hodgson (Hudson). She was born about 1585 and died 1676. There was one child Thomas II.

In 1637 permission was obtained from the government of New Plymouth to begin this settlement and in

their oft quoted words: " — agreed by the court that these ten men of Saugus viz: EDMUND FREEMEN:

HENRY PEAKE: THOMAS DEXTER: EDWARD DILLINGHAM: WILLIAM WOOD: JOHN

CARMAN: RICHARD CHADWELL: WILLIAM ALMY: THOMAS TUPPER: GEORGE KNOTT: —

shall have liberty to view a place to sit down and have sufficient lands for three-score families upon the

conditions propounded by the Governor and Mr. Winslow." The result of this action was the settlement of

what came to be called SANDWICH, the first town on Cape Cod, and the 10 men named known as

proprietors of the new town were soon on the ground. The grant was made to the 10 men on the

assumption that they were all Church members and free men, and that being such they would receive unto

the township when organized only such persons as already were Church members or fit to become so. The

portion to THOMAS TUPPER was six and one-half acres and his rank 18th.

Record show that in 1658 Thomas and his son Thomas were among the largest land owners and tax

payers in Sandwich. He farmed to some extent but legal documents always state his occupation as

'shoemaker.' He served in the General Court in 1644, was a Deputy for 20 years, served on juries, local

boards and commissions and was Selectman for 3 years. He conducted Religious services and was deeply

interested in Religious work among the Indians. He was a shrewd trader and invested heavily in real

estate and had large holdings at his death. The Old Tupper House in Sandwich — construction of which

began in 1637, when the settlement was not yet a year old was so sturdily built that is stood for nearly 300

years, until destroyed by fire. It was a monument to the character of Thomas Tupper. The history of this

house, one of the very few really old houses in America testifies to the worthy lives lived by the original

owner and his wife Ann. The first wedding in this house was his daughter Katherine, who married

Benjamin Nye. Robert was also married in America — Deborah Perry, but they returned to England.

THOMAS TUPPER II was born at Sandwich, Mass., in 1638 and died in 1706. He became a freeman at

the age of 20. He served on a jury in 1664, was an Exciseman in 1677 and Town Constable in 1669. He

was a Selectman for 14 years, Town Clerk for 10 years, Deputy to General Court at Plymouth for 11

years. A Representative to the Court of Boston and in 1680 was appointed Lieutenant of the Military

Company in Sandwich, becoming Captain in 1790. He had strong religious convictions and for many

years was a Missionary among the Indians. In 1645 he and Miles Standish, among others, were members

of an arbitration board to determine Civil action. He married Martha Mayhew in 1661. She was the

daughter of Thomas Mayhew, Governor of Martha's Vineyard and neighboring Islands. There were 11

children. MARTHA: THOMAS: ISREAL: ELISHA: JANE: ICHABOD: ELDAD: MEDAD: ANNE:

ELIAKIM: BERTHA.

ELIAKIM TUPPER was born in Sandwich, Mass. He was a man of prominence in Sandwich and was a

Selectman for 12 years. In 1712 he was elected one of a committee "to supply the pulpit". In 1722 he was

a large land holder and a 'shop keeper'. He did not agree with the doctrine preached and in 1732 was one

of two contractors who built a new meeting house for the opponents of the established minister. He

married Joanna Gibbs (daughter of Benjamin Gibbs, Sr.,) in 1707. In 1736 he moved his family to

Lebanon, Connecticut where he died about 1758. There were 13 children. RUTH: ANN: ELIAKIM:

��

The first Census in the United States was taken in 1790. In that Census there were only 2 men by the

name of Tupper, listed in New York State. NATHAN TUPPER — of Westchester County, N. Y. with

only one male over 16 — including the head of the family. WILLIAM TUPPER — Albany County, N. Y.

with 2 males over 16 — including head of family.

The Presbyterian Church of Schenectady, New York, states that RUFUS TUPPER died there Nov. 9,

1811 at the age of 41 years. Therefore we can place the birth of Rufus Tupper in 1770, so he would have

been over 16 in 1790 and his father would have to be WILLIAM. Further data places William Tupper in

Watervliet Town, then called West Troy. Later records show Rufus Tupper to be in Blooming Grove,

Bio-Rev. Thomas Tupper

Thomas Tupper of Co. Sussex, England; as a ship's carpenter and member of the crew is believed to have

voyaged to America first about 1621, again in 1624, when he remained a year, a third time in 1631 when

he stayed at Cape Ann for an uncertain period, finally coming to first Lynn, Massachusetts on the ship

"Abigail" with his two children and then to Sandwich, Massachusetts in 1637 where he settled and

remained until his death.

He served in the general court in 1644 and later was deputy for 30 years, from 1646 to 1676; he served on

juries, local boards and commissions, was a charter member of the church and for three years from 1667

was selectman of the town. In his later years, when there was no settled minister, Mr. Tupper conducted

religious services as layman and he was deeply interested in religious work among the Indians. He was a

shrewd trader and invested heavily in real estate and held large holdings at his death.

Rev. Thomas Tupper was a passenger on the "Abigail" which left England after 10 July 1635 under

Master Robert Hackwell. along with his daughter Katherine and his future son-in-law, Benjamin Nye. In


1637 he removed to Sandwich, Massachusetts where on 19 October 1640 his daughter Katherine and

Benjamin Nye were married in the first wedding in the old Tupper homestead.

Born in 1578, Thomas Tupper Sr. was the oldest man among the early settlers of Sandwich,

Massachusetts. He filled many town positions and was even lay preacher after the departure of

Leveridge.

At any rate, the first meetinghouse built for Indians in Plymouth County stood at the base of Indian Burial

Hill in Bournedale and was well attended. Thomas Tupper, one of the "ten men of Saugus" who settled

Sandwich, had charge of the meetinghouse.

The Tupper Family England and United States

The birthplace of THOMAS TUPPER, the emigrant ancestor of the Tupper family of America, was the Parish of Bury in County Sussex, England. The name itself is of Anglo-Saxon origin of the earliest form, derived from the occupation of the person known. During the 8th Century, a male sheep or ram was a tupp, and the breeder of tupps or rams was a tupman or tupper. One of the most important occupations of South Downs in West Sussex, was the breeding of sheep, and in later years they were famous for the fine quality of mutton. There is a farm on the fringe of South Downs, overlooking the Isle of Wight, still owned by Tuppers.

THOMAS TUPPER’S father was HENRY TUPPER and his grandfather was RICHARD TUPPER, both of County Sussex. It was possible to identify them by the study of biographies (1563-1624), recorded deeds and wills, tax rolls, post mortem, and other documentary evidence. The records of the Parish of Bury exist only in manuscript form in the British Museum at London, and are not readily accessible, so that it is not possible to present a complete record of the families of Henry and Richard Tupper.

Wills on file and other probate documents in the Ecclesiastical Courts of Canterbury and Winchester, wherein it was the custom to mention the deceased’s occupation or station in life, reveal the TUPPERS were yeomen, husbandmen, fishermen, shoemakers, weavers, wool-combers, shepherds, etc. While none of the immediate progenitors of Thomas Tupper were classed as “GENTLEMEN” there is abundant evidence that they were property and landowners on the tax rolls as men of means. The University of Cambridge record that several Tuppers of an earlier generation matriculated there. Richard Tupper, grandfather of Thomas, was pastor of the Church at Bury.

HENRY TUPPER was a Puritan, but was not a fanatic and maintained friendly relations with those of his acquaintance, who still stayed with the Church of England. Through one William Greer, Merchant of London, Henry Tupper met Thomas Hampton, Cordwaiver of St. Sepulcher’s of London, to whom he apprenticed his son Thomas from 1592 to 1599. Thus for 7 years Thomas Tupper was a worker in leather and learned his trade of shoemaker.

It was while in London that Thomas Tupper became acquainted with prominent London Merchants who sponsored the first settling of what is now New England. The first departure from England came about 1621, when he was one of the crew with Captain William Prince, and sailed for the West Indies, for Browne and Cradock of London. During this voyage he learned the craft of carpentry to add to his trade of shoemaker. He made 3 trips and in these sailings, Thomas Tupper was listed as one of the crew, worked at his trade, and received wages as well as a part of the profits. Thomas Tupper, from all data obtainable did not marry until he was 44 years of age. He was married twice in England, losing both wives by death before 1635.

THOMAS TUPPER was born at Bury, County Sussex, England in 1578 and died 1676. He married Katherine Gator, of Parich Chelmsford, England in 1622. There were 2 children — Katherine and Robert. Robert died in infancy. After his wife Katherin’s death Thomas married Susan Turnar, in 1628 — there were also 2 children — Thomas and Robert. Thomas also died in infancy and his wife Susan died in 1634. After her death Thomas was left with a girl of 12 and a boy of 2. Just when and how they came to America is not known. Thomas married a third time in America — a widow of Topsfield, Mass., Ann Hodgson (Hudson). She was born about 1585 and died 1676. There was one child Thomas II.

In 1637 permission was obtained from the government of New Plymouth to begin this settlement and in their oft quoted words: “ — agreed by the court that these ten men of Saugus viz: EDMUND FREEMEN: HENRY PEAKE: THOMAS DEXTER: EDWARD DILLINGHAM: WILLIAM WOOD: JOHN CARMAN: RICHARD CHADWELL: WILLIAM ALMY: THOMAS TUPPER: GEORGE KNOTT: — shall have liberty to view a place to sit down and have sufficient lands for three-score families upon the

010 Thomas Tupper

conditions propounded by the Governor and Mr. Winslow.” The result of this action was the settlement of what came to be called SANDWICH, the first town on Cape Cod, and the 10 men named known as proprietors of the new town were soon on the ground. The grant was made to the 10 men on the assumption that they were all Church members and free men, and that being such they would receive unto the township when organized only such persons as already were Church members or fit to become so. The portion to THOMAS TUPPER was six and one-half acres and his rank 18th.

Record show that in 1658 Thomas and his son Thomas were among the largest land owners and tax payers in Sandwich. He farmed to some extent but legal documents always state his occupation as ‘shoemaker.’ He served in the General Court in 1644, was a Deputy for 20 years, served on juries, local boards and commissions and was Selectman for 3 years. He conducted Religious services and was deeply interested in Religious work among the Indians. He was a shrewd trader and invested heavily in real estate and had large holdings at his death. The Old Tupper House in Sandwich — construction of which began in 1637, when the settlement was not yet a year old was so sturdily built that is stood for nearly 300 years, until destroyed by fire. It was a monument to the character of Thomas Tupper. The history of this house, one of the very few really old houses in America testifies to the worthy lives lived by the original owner and his wife Ann. The first wedding in this house was his daughter Katherine, who married Benjamin Nye. Robert was also married in America — Deborah Perry, but they returned to England.

THOMAS TUPPER II was born at Sandwich, Mass., in 1638 and died in 1706. He became a freeman at the age of 20. He served on a jury in 1664, was an Exciseman in 1677 and Town Constable in 1669. He was a Selectman for 14 years, Town Clerk for 10 years, Deputy to General Court at Plymouth for 11 years. A Representative to the Court of Boston and in 1680 was appointed Lieutenant of the Military Company in Sandwich, becoming Captain in 1790. He had strong religious convictions and for many years was a Missionary among the Indians. In 1645 he and Miles Standish, among others, were members of an arbitration board to determine Civil action. He married Martha Mayhew in 1661. She was the daughter of Thomas Mayhew, Governor of Martha’s Vineyard and neighboring Islands. There were 11 children. MARTHA: THOMAS: ISREAL: ELISHA: JANE: ICHABOD: ELDAD: MEDAD: ANNE: ELIAKIM: BERTHA.

ELIAKIM TUPPER was born in Sandwich, Mass. He was a man of prominence in Sandwich and was a Selectman for 12 years. In 1712 he was elected one of a committee “to supply the pulpit”. In 1722 he was a large land holder and a ‘shop keeper’. He did not agree with the doctrine preached and in 1732 was one of two contractors who built a new meeting house for the opponents of the established minister. He married Joanna Gibbs (daughter of Benjamin Gibbs, Sr.,) in 1707. In 1736 he moved his family to Lebanon, Connecticut where he died about 1758. There were 13 children. RUTH: ANN: ELIAKIM: ABIA: ELIAS: ABIGAIL: HANNAH: JOANNA: JOANNA: NATHANIEL: DEBORAH: CHARLES: SOLOMON. All were born in Sandwich, Mass.

NATHANIEL TUPPER was born in 1726 and died at Salisbury, Conn. in 1790. He married Elizabeth Gager, daughter of Rev. William and Elizabeth (Whiting) Gager. There were 3 children. ELISHA: WILLIAM: ELIZABETH. He married the 2nd time, Sarah Hanchett of Suffield, Conn, daughter of Ebenezer and Sarah (Fuller) Hanchett. There was one child Samuel.

********************************************

The first Census in the United States was taken in 1790. In that Census there were only 2 men by the name of Tupper, listed in New York State. NATHAN TUPPER — of Westchester County, N. Y. with only one male over 16 — including the head of the family. WILLIAM TUPPER — Albany County, N. Y. with 2 males over 16 — including head of family.

The Presbyterian Church of Schenectady, New York, states that RUFUS TUPPER died there Nov. 9, 1811 at the age of 41 years. Therefore we can place the birth of Rufus Tupper in 1770, so he would have been over 16 in 1790 and his father would have to be WILLIAM. Further data places William Tupper in

010 Thomas Tupper

Watervliet Town, then called West Troy. Later records show Rufus Tupper to be in Blooming Grove, Orange County, N. Y. in 1800, with all children under 10 years of age. A Troy newspaper published in 1825 “ Sylvanus Tupper of Goshen (Blooming Grove is just a few miles from Goshen) New York was appointed guardian of Isaac N. born March 24, 1811 — son of Rufus Tupper — late of Schenectady County, New York.” It seems logical to assume William Tupper is the father of Rufus, but as yet I have been unable to find any further record of William.

010 William Heath ‐ Biography

William And Agnes Cheney Heath Information

Douglas Richardson

In 1992, the present author published evidence that the immigrants Elder Isaac Heath and William Heath of Roxbury, Massachusetts, were sons of an earlier William Heath, Sr. (ca. 1555-1625) of Ware, Hertfordshire. Following publication of tha t ar ticle, the marriage of William Heth [sic] of Ware was found, in the parish of Waltham Abbey, Essex, on 9 June 1580, to Agnes Cheney. Subsequent research produced probate records identifying Agnes as the daughter of Robert and Joan (Harrison) Cheney, and making it possible to develop her ancestry in both paternal and mhternal lines as presented below.

New evidence on the Heath line has confirmed that William Heath, Sr., of Ware was the father of the immigrants Isaac and William. An inquisition taken at Ware, Hertfordshire, 20 June 1628, mentions an earlier indenture dated 20 March 1612/13 where by Humphrey Spenser of Ware, gentleman, citizen, and haberdasher of London, and John Thorowgood of Ware, yeoman, acting as trustees, conveyed various properties to a large number of inhabitants of Ware, among them William Heath and Isaac his son .

In the earlier article, it was shown that William Heath, Sr. was son of Edward Heath, collarmaker of Little Amwell in the parish of Ware, and his wife Alice. It has now been learned that a Robert Heath is listed on the 1545 subsidy roll for Little Amwell. From the chronology involved, and knowing that Edward Heath (ca. 1530-1593) named a son Robert, we may conclude that Robert Heath of Little Amwell was probably the father of Edward Heath of that place. Both Edward and Robert owned property at Little Amwell, and no other Heaths appear on the 1545 subsidy roll for this locale.

WILLIAM HEATH ORIGIN: Nazeing, Essex MIGRATION: 1632 on Lyon [Hotten 150] FIRST RESIDENCE: Roxbury CHURCH MEMBERSHIP: "He came to this land in the year 1632 & soon after joined to the church [at Roxbury]. He brought 5 children, Mary, Isaac, Mary, Peleg, Hannah" [RChR 75]. FREEMAN: 4 March 1632/3 [MBCR 1:367]. EDUCATION: Signed his name as witness to the will of John Grave [SPR Case #38], but made his mark to his own will. OFFICES: Deputy to General Court for Roxbury, 14 May 1634, 18 April 1637, 17 May 1637, 13 March 1638/9, 22


May 1639, 4 September 1639, 13 May 1640, 7 October 1640, 7 October 1641, 8 September 1642 [MBCR 1:116, 192, 194, 250, 255, 271, 288, 301, 336, 2:22]. Magistrate for particular court, 25 May 1636 [MBCR 1:175]. Committee to "consider of the act of Mr. Endicott, in defacing the colors," 6 May 1635 [MBCR 1:145].

On 22 May 1651 at "the request of William Heath, of Roxbury, being above sixty years of age, this Court thinks meet he should be exempted from all trainings" [MBCR 3:235]. ESTATE: William Heath died at Roxbury just before the land inventory was taken there. The fourth entry in this land inventory, immediately after that of Rev. John Eliot, is for Isaac Heath, son of William. As there is a later, shorter, entry for Isaac Heath, as well as one for his younger brother Peleg Heath [RBOP 40-41, 48-49], this early entry would contain the lands which had been granted to the immigrant. At the time of the Roxbury land inventory William Heath's widow would have held a life interest in these lands, which were at her death to be divided between the two sons. Thus, before his death William Heath held twelve parcels of land, nine by grant from the town and three by purchase: "dwelling house, barn, orchard and houselot, three acres"; "fourteen acres of salt marsh"; "six acres of upland in the calve's pasture"; "six acres of saalt marsh in Gravelly point"; "four acres of upland at Stoney River"; "four and twenty acres not far from Gamblin's End"; "sixteen acres at the Great Pond"; "six acres ... lately bought of Mr. William Perkins"; "in the second allotment of the last division being the eleventh lot ... ninety-four acres, three quarters and thirty pole"; "in the four thousand acres two-hundred fifty and six acres"; "three roods of swamp land lately the land of John Stow"; and "four acres ... lately the land of Richard Pepper, lying in the upper calve's pasture" [RBOP 14].

BIRTH: By 1591 [MBCR 3:235], son of William and Agnes (Cheney) Heath of Ware, Hertfordshire [NEHGR 146:266-68, 149:173-86]. DEATH: Roxbury 29 May 1652 ("William Heath, an able godly & faithful brother died" [RChR 175]). MARRIAGE: (1) Great Amwell, Hertfordshire, 10 February 1616/7 Mary Crampthorne; she was baptized at Sawbridgeworth, Hertfordshire, 16 January 1591/2, daughter of Thomas and Mary (Lyndesell) Crampthorne; she was buried at Great Amwell 24 November 1621, as "the wife of William Heath of Ware End." (2) Gilston, Hertfordshire, 29 January 1622/3 Mary Perry of Sawbridgeworth; she accompanied her husband to Roxbury in 1632, and was admitted to Roxbury church with him [RChR 75]; she was buried at Roxbury 15 December 1659 ("Our aged Sister Heath the widow of Wil. Heath was buried" [RChR 177]). CHILDREN:

With first wife

i MARY, bp. Great Amwell 10 May 1618; living unmarried 28 May 1652, the date of her father's will, and from the wording of the bequest, she was probably incapable of caring for herself.

ii ISAAC, bp. Great Amwell 21 May 1621; m. Roxbury 16 December 1650 Mary Davis.

With second wife

iii Stillborn daughter, bur. Ware 27 November 1623.

iv PELEG, bp. Nazeing 30 January 1624/5; m. by 1652 Susanna _____. (In her 14 June 1652 will, widow


Dorothy King bequeathed to "my daughter Susanna Heath one little flockbed" [SPR 1:68]; Dorothy King was three times a widow and Susanna was daughter of her first husband, who may have been a Barker [Weymouth Hist 3:22, 312, 349-50].)

v MARY, bp. Nazeing 2 September 1627; m. by 1644 George Spear (called "Mary Spere" in her father's will; child bp. 21 April 1644 [RChR 115]; see also Annis Spear Anc 3).

vi HANNAH, bp. Nazeing 5 November 1629; m. by 1658 as his first wife Isaac Jones (daughter Hannah b. Dorchester 20 November 1658 and bp. there 21 November 1658 [DVR 6; DChR 189]; Elizabeth (Miller) Heath, widow of Isaac Heath, uncle of this Hannah Heath, made a bequest on 1 January 1664[/5] of 15s. to "Isaack Jones his daughter that he had by Hannah Heath" [SPR 1:439], leading to the conclusion that the Hannah Jones who died at Dorchester on 28 November 1658 was the wife of Isaac and not the daughter [DVR 25]).

ASSOCIATIONS: William's brother, Isaac Heath, came to Roxbury, 1635 in the Hopewell. JOHN JOHNSON of Roxbury married in England to Mary Heath, sister of William and Isaac; Edward Morris and his sister Elizabeth (Morris) Cartwright were nephew and niece to William and Isaac through their mother Prudence Heath; Martha (Heath) Brand, wife of George Brand of Roxbury, was first cousin of William Heath [NEHGR 146:261-78]. COMMENTS: Savage and Davis say he was deputy from Dover in 1645 [MBCR 3:10], but this was William Hilton who was deputy for that town in earlier years [MBCR 2:54, 66]. William Heath witnessed the 1644 will of John Grave, who mentioned him as one of "my two friends, Phillip Eliot & Will[ia]m Heath" [SPR Case #38]. BIBLIOGRAPHIC NOTE: For many years the best treatment in print of William Heath was that published by Walter Goodwin Davis in 1945 [Annis Spear Anc 29-34]. In 1978 Peter Walne found a few additional items, mostly relating to the marriages of William Heath [NEHGR 132:20-21]. In 1992 Douglas Richardson published an article which detailed the English origin of William Heath and his brother Isaac Heath, as well as others as noted above [NEHGR 146:261-78]; unless otherwise noted, the parish register entries above are from this article. In 1995 Richardson published an article supplementing that of 1992, solidifying the evidence that the immigrants William and Isaac Heath were sons of William of Ware, and identifying their mother [NEHGR 149:173-86].
