[[Pelton-56|John Pelton]], born in England, place and time unknown, though probably about 1616, and a descendant of Essex Peltons or Poltons (See Introduction), came to Boston about 1630 to 1633, as his name and a description of his property appears in the "Book of Possessions," the oldest land record of Boston, made by order of The General Court in 1634. The record therein on page 91 runs thus: "Mr. Owen Roe his possession in the limits of Boston. One house and garden bounded with the streete north; the lane west; the Cove south; and John Pelton east. John Pelton's possession in Boston. One house and household lot bounded with Owen Roe west; the streete north; the Cove south; and the marsh on the east." These lands were Lot 104 to 108, on the south side of Essex St., from Washington St., easterly. See Map F. or No. 6, page 74 where Owen Rowe, (as here spelled,) has lot 107 and John Pelton 108. Soon after, in 1635, probably, he removed to Dorchester, then a few miles out of Boston peninsula, now a part of that city, and which had been settled in the same year but a few months earlier. In 1635 or 1636, he became by grant or purchase a joint owner of the Dorchester Patent, and received his share, as also did his heirs in its many divisions. He was also one of the forty-seven owners of the "Great Lots." (See Clapp's History of Dorchester.) That he was admitted among the very select company at Dorchester, is sufficient proof that his character and religious opinions were considered correct. In Dorchester he lived by the side of the Glovers and other of the best families, as this extract from the "Glover Memorial" shows. "On Dec. 25, 1700, Nathaniel Glover, Sen. and his wife Hannah, conveyed to their son, Nathaniel Glover, Jr., in Dorchester, several parcels of land, among them his house-lot of fifteen acres, being butted and bounded on the Easterly end upon the Sea or Saltwater, on the Northerly side by land of widow Pelton and Joseph Hall, on the Westerly end upon the Highway leading to Tileston's Mills, standing upon Neponsett River, and on the Southerly side by land of Mrs. Brick (Breek)." The time and place of his marriage and the maiden name of his wife and unknown; we learning only from his will that her Christian name was Susanna. They were probably married about 1643, a date that strengthens the opinion (See Introduction, p. 19) that he came to Boston when young, and received his allotment of land there as an "able youth." His occupation and history are unknown, excepting that from his will we learn that he was engaged in the fisheries, then, as now, a valuable business. He died in Dorchester, January 23, 1681. His will dated January 3, 1681, twenty days before his death, proved March 16, following, mentions of his wife Susanna, his sons John, Samuel, and Robert the youngest, and his daughter Mary. His widow probably lived until May 7, 1706, and was doubtless the "Old Mother Pelton" buried May 10, 1706, as given in Clapp's History of Dorchester, page 282, taken from the records of the oldest church there, and supposed as such a record was very unusual, to have been that of a very well-known person. Children, born in Dorchester: I John, b., probably early in 1645; baptized March 2, 1645; m. about 1673, wife's name unknown; d. before 1699. II Samuel, b. about 1647; m. "5th mo." May 16, 1673, Mary Smith; d. probably, 1713-14. III Robert, born, probably, about 1649-51, at Dorchester, Mass. He was a mariner, and on July 7, 1680, he "affirmed the loss at sea of the sloop 'Anne and Elizabeth' of New York, commanded by Alexander Watts." (Glover Memorial) He was lost at sea, July, 1683; probably unmarried as his brother Samuel took out letters of administration, and no mention is made of wife or children. IV Mary, born about 1653 or '54, baptized Feb. 18, 1654 (Ch. Rec.) Was living at the death of her father; may have been older than Robert as the exact order of births is unknown. Nothing is known as to her marriage or her death.

==A coat of arms for John Endicott?== The Wikipedia entry for [[Endicott-21|Gov John (Endicott) Endecott (abt.1588-1665)]] includes a coat of arms based on ''Crozier's General Armory : A Registry of American Families Entitled to Coat Armor.''Crozier, William Armstrong. ''Crozier's General Armory : A Registry of American Families Entitled to Coat Armor.'' Published for the Genealogical Association by Fox Duffield 1904. Internet Archive https://archive.org/details/croziersgenerala00croz/page/54/mode/1up. Accessed 8 Nov. 2023. Unfortunately, Crozier is not considered a reliable source for identifying heraldry. Since John Endicott's parentage is unknown, it doesn't seem possible to claim any sort of crest or coat of arms. If there is evidence of Governor Endicott using a coat of arms during his lifetime, that should be noted. As of now, however, this does not seem to be a legitimate coat of arms. ==Sources== * [[Wikipedia: John Endecott]] *[[Space:England_Project:_Overview_of_Heraldry_and_Coats_of_Arms|England Project: Overview of Heraldry and Coats of Arms]]

This hypothesis by Clark was examined in ''Genealogists' Magazine'', December 2017. According to an article, "John Wood, Master of the ''Peregrine''", it states that the 6 Apr 1650 letter from Captain John Wood to Mrs. Elizabeth Winthrop of Boston (the original document held by the Boston Historical Society) was signed by the same John Wood who was killed in the 1653 Battle of Livorno (Italy). === Further Details === * '''[[Wood-114|John Wood]] (abt. 1590 - bef. 1655) of Portsmouth''' The first known account is found in a Newport Court document from Rhode Island, which states that on June 7, 1643, John Richman and David Greenman separately filed a trespass suit against John Wood of Newport.Chapin, Howard M.. ''Documentary History of Rhode Island: History of the towns of Portsmouth and Newport to 1647 and the court records of Aquidneck''. United States, Preston and Rounds Company, 1919, pp. [https://books.google.com/books?id=iQ0MAAAAYAAJ&newbks=1&newbks_redir=0&pg=PA141#v=onepage&q&f=false 141], [https://books.google.com/books?id=iQ0MAAAAYAAJ&newbks=1&newbks_redir=0&pg=PA142#v=onepage&q&f=false 142]. Subsequent documents reveal him as John Wood, residing in Newport from 1643 to 1646.Chapin, Howard M.. ''Documentary History of Rhode Island: History of the towns of Portsmouth and Newport to 1647 and the court records of Aquidneck''. United States, Preston and Rounds Company, 1919, pp. [https://books.google.com/books?id=iQ0MAAAAYAAJ&newbks=1&newbks_redir=0&pg=PA154#v=onepage&q&f=false 154], [https://books.google.com/books?id=iQ0MAAAAYAAJ&newbks=1&newbks_redir=0&pg=PA157#v=onepage&q&f=false 157]. His final mention in Newport dates back to 1646. And last, a different document indicates that he was present in Portsmouth in 1648 as a freeman. It seems that at some point after 1646, he relocated from Newport to Portsmouth. He is hence referred to as John Wood of Portsmouth. He is not identical to those men of the same name, as follows: * '''[[Wood-112|John Wood]] (abt. 1620 - 1704) of Middletown''' The father of John Wood of Middletown was once identified as "John Wood, Sr." on March 1, 1649/50, when he purchased his Portsmouth farm. There had been no reason to differentiate between the two Johns up until that point. This was most likely the moment when the father gave John Jr. the 50-acre Newport homestead he had just left behind—the property he had previously purchased from Robert Jeoffries, probably sometime before 1643, albeit the Newport deed record was undated. It is beyond dispute that John Jr. possessed this land prior to his father's passing in 1655, and it is also beyond dispute that John Jr. was a Newport town member when a list of such residents was compiled in 1655.''Records of the Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, in New England: 1636-1663''. United States, A. C. Greene and brothers, state printers, 1856, p. [https://books.google.com/books?id=V1w0AQAAMAAJ&newbks=1&newbks_redir=0&pg=PA301#v=onepage&q&f=false 301]. The above information can be deduced based on historical sources, and it is therefore assumed to be an accurate depiction of John Wood of Middletown. According to original sources, John Wood of Middletown was recorded in Newport, Rhode Island, in March 1662, serving on the grand jury. John Wood of Middletown is the son of John Wood of Portsmouth, and formerly of Newport. * '''John Wood ''of Lynn''''' According to ''New England Historic Genealogical Register'', 1879, Vol. 33, pp. 60-61, there is a reference to an interesting petition by Jane Armitage of Lynn, to the Massachusetts Court. This petition was signed by a number of her fellow citizens including John Wood, and is dated October 26, 1643.''New England Historic Genealogical Register'', 1879, Vol. 33, pp. [https://archive.org/details/newenglandhistor33wate/page/60/mode/1up 60-61]. It can be found in Massachusetts Colony Records, Vol. II, on page 46. John Wood of Lynn is not identical to John Wood of Portsmouth and formerly of Newport because Newport Court document proves he already resided in Newport, Rhode Island in 1643. John Wood of Lynn is not well known, hence there are no additional allusions to his identity. * '''[[Atwood-2|John Wood alias Atwood]] (abt. 1615 - 1675) ''of Plymouth''''' According to numerous family trees on Ancestry.com and other online genealogical databases, John Wood, "The Mariner," married Sarah Masterson, and he was the same person as John Wood alias Atwood. Sadly, they mistakenly associate him with John Wood, often known as Atwood. There is some confusion in the accounts in publications about John Wood Alias Atwood. These are also not John Wood of Portsmouth, as Williams explains in great detail. According to Williams (p. 138), John Wood Alias Atwood was Sarah Masterson's husband and died in Plymouth, Massachusetts, between November 22, 1675 (will date) and March 7, 1675/6 (probate date). Williams questions the sources for both John Wood Alias Atwood and the other John Atwood (who married Ann) and died between October 20, 1643, and June 5, 1644 (will and probate). As John Wood alias Atwood bequeathed his whole estate to his "wife Sarah" in his 1675 will in Plymouth, we may reasonably assume that this was not our John Wood of Portsmouth. Furthermore, since John Wood of Portsmouth was alive and well, living in the Portsmouth area until 1655, and it was before the passing of John Wood alias Wood in 1675, it seems clear that they were not the same individual. John Wood alias Atwood of Plymouth is not identical to [[Wood-114|John Wood]] of Portsmouth. * '''[[Wood-16762|John Wood]] (born about 1615) came with Joseph Hull in 1635''' Joseph Hull's Congregation of 1635 has John Wood among its members.Chamberlain, George Walter. ''History of Weymouth, Massachusetts''. Vol 3-4, Higginson, 1923, p. 300, citing Thomas Holbrook's deposition. John Wood's age, which is 20 according to the manifest, and the fact that he was Joseph's servant are the only details known about him.Hotten, John Camden. ''The Original Lists of Persons of Quality: Emigrants, Religious Exiles, Political Rebels, Serving Men Sold for a Term of Years, Apprentices, Children Stolen, Maidens Pressed, and Others Who Went from Great Britain to the American Plantations, 1600-1700''. United States, Empire State Book, 1874, [https://archive.org/details/originallistsofp00hottuoft/page/298/mode/1up 283]. In 1635, they departed from Weymouth, Dorset, England to Dorchester, Massaschusetts by sea, fifteen years after Pilgrims established Plymouth Plantation and five years after Puritans founded the Bay Colony, seeking the freedom to practice their religion without fear of persecution, a liberty they would not grant to others. On 8 July 1635, John Winthrop noted in his journal, "At this court Wessagusset was made a plantation and Mr. Hull, a minister of England, and twenty-one families with him allowed to sit down there."Winthrop, John. ''Winthrop’s Journal'', vol. 1. Ed. James Kendall Hosmer, Scribner’s, 1908, p. 163. He could not have been the same as John Wood of Portsmouth, who had a son named John Wood, Jr., born around 1620, fifteen years before the migration to New England because he was a 20-year-old servant with Joseph Hull in 1635, alone and without children or a wife on the migration list. Although there are other John Woods in New England, none of them completely match this man's description, according to Anderson.Anderson, Robert Charles. ''The Great Migration: Immigrants to New England 1634-1635''. Boston: New England Historic Genealogical Society, 2001-2009. Volume III, p. 599. This man is not identical to [[Wood-114|John Wood]] of Portsmouth. * '''John Wood ''of the Hopewell''''' John Wood was a 26 year old passenger boarding the ship ''Hopewell'' on September 11, 1635.Hotten, John Camden. ''The Original Lists of Persons of Quality: Emigrants, Religious Exiles, Political Rebels, Serving Men Sold for a Term of Years, Apprentices, Children Stolen, Maidens Pressed, and Others Who Went from Great Britain to the American Plantations, 1600-1700''. United States, Empire State Book, 1874, [https://archive.org/details/originallistsofp00hottuoft/page/130/mode/1up 130]. He could not have been the same as John Wood of Portsmouth, who had a son named John Wood, Jr., born around 1620, fifteen years before the migration to New England because the ''Hopewell'' manifest shows he was alone with his relatives, William Wood, age 27 and Elizabeth Wood, age 24, but he did not have any children or wife, boarding on the ship ''Hopewell''. John Wood of the ''Hopewell'' is not identical to [[Wood-114|John Wood]] of Portsmouth. * '''John Wood (abt. 1621 - 1653) ''Master of the Peregrine, of Redcliff''''' Some thought John Wood, master of the ''Peregrine'', of Redcliff is identical to John Wood based on his occupation that he was a mariner. No evidence is shown that he was a mariner when he was in Newport from 1643 to 1646 and later in Portsmouth from 1648 to 1655. Bertha W. Clark, the author of ''John Wood of Rhode Island and His Early Descendants on the Mainland'', hypothesized that John Wood, master of the ''Peregrine'' is identical to John Wood of Portsmouth, whom she thought he was a mariner. However, he is not identical to John Wood who was still alive from 1648 to 1655 in Portsmouth, Rhode Island because John Wood, master of the ''Peregrine'' was 32 years old and was killed on March 3, 1653 in the 1653 Battle of Livorno (Italy). Six English merchantmen had been blockaded in Livorno. They accepted naval command under Commodore Henry Appleton and made an unsuccessful attempt to break out before reinforcements arrived. Wood was wounded in an action with the Dutch and died ten days later. He was buried at Old English Cemetery on Via Giuseppe Verdi in Livorno, Italy.“M3138 | Maritime Memorials.” M3138 | Maritime Memorials, memorials.rmg.co.uk/n3138.Michael M . Wood. "John Wood, Master of the Peregrine and his forgotten Italian Grave," ''Genealogists' Magazine''' vol 32, pp. 304-310 (London, Dec 2017). * '''[[Wood-28113|John Wood]] (abt. 1586) of St. Savior, Southwark''' Bertha W. Clark claimed that John Wood of Portsmouth is identical to John Wood of St. Savior, Southwark who married Margaret Carter. The marriage entry in the parish registers of St. Savior, Southwark in England shows that John Wood married Margaret Carter, a daughter of John Carter, a tailor, on January 28, 1610/11, at St. Savior's Parish in Southwark, Surrey, England.NEHGS "American Ancestors" magazine, Summer 2018. [https://www.americanancestors.org/DB405/i/56453/44/73548213 ''AmericanAncestors.org '' (link by subscription)] John Wood and Margaret Carter were listed in the Token Books of St. Saviour Southwark every year from 1623 to 1643 as the head of a household residing in Frying Pan Alley and attending St. Savior's, the same street where Margaret Carter lived with her father from 1620 to 1622.[http://www-personal.umich.edu/~ingram/StSaviour/ ''The Parish of St. Saviour, Southwark''].

Her husband's name, John Wood, was listed next to John Carter, and they were residing on Frying Pan Alley in Boroughside from 1623 to 1629 in the Token Books. In the Token Book, her father, John Carter, was shown but was crossed out, and 'dead' was in the margin in 1629, and it was his last residence on Frying Pan Alley in Boroughside. Interestingly, in the same book, at the 28th line, John Carter's name was below John Wood's name, which was at the 25th line.[http://www-personal.umich.edu/~ingram/StSaviour/ ''The Parish of St. Saviour, Southwark'']. "The Token Books of St. Saviour Southwark." [http://tokenbooks.folger.edu/search/PageImage.php?booknumber=218&pagenumber=48 Book 218, Page 48, Line 28]. Also, Robert Carter was residing on Frying Pan Alley in Boroughside and was listed next to John Wood from 1637 to 1643 in the Token Books. His relationship to John Wood and his wife Margaret was unknown.[http://www-personal.umich.edu/~ingram/StSaviour/ ''The Parish of St. Saviour, Southwark'']. "The Token Books of St. Saviour Southwark." [http://tokenbooks.folger.edu/search/PageImage.php?booknumber=237&pagenumber=24 Book 237, Page 24, Line 43]. It demonstrates that John Wood of St. Savior, Southwark, is not the same as [[Wood-114|John Wood]] of Portsmouth, who lived in Newport from 1643 to 1646 and again in Portsmouth from 1648 to 1655. == Sources ==

''Dawes-Gates Ancestral Lines'' (n.p., 1931) 2:61-68, HathiTrust https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=wu.89066039439&view=1up&seq=121 was the most complete research conducted concerning Edward Bangs' origins.

Online database, digital images by subscription, AmericanAncestors.org https://www.americanancestors.org/DB393/i/12107/90/0 === Analysis of Ferris' Claims === The full excerpt from Ferris (most notably found in footnote [1]) states: : "EDWARD BANGS, accepted as the son* of John and Jane (Chavis) Bangs of Panfield,[1] co. Essex..." : "[1] An investigation of wills, deeds, parish registers and inquisitions post mortem extending over a period of years in the English localities where Bangs families are recorded, has been sufficiently exhaustive to justify the statement above. The family name is earliest found in co. Norfolk and later in co. Essex. Only two baptisms of children named "Edward" have been found, and but one of them in this period. In Panfield, co. Essex, on January 30, 1586-7, John Bangs [son of Richard, late of Norwich, co. Norfolk, deceased, as shown by a later deed] married Jane Chavis. On October 28, 1591, their third son "Edward" was baptized, and he was living in 1631, for the will of the father was made that year and mentioned him. Before that time John, the father, had removed to Hempstead and he died there on February 11, 1631-2." : "'''Though no documentary proof has been found positively identifying Edward of New England with the Edward above''', the significant fact that Edward Bangs, in his will of 1677, called himself eighty-six years old, establishes his birth-date as 1591; he named his eldest son "John" presumably after his father, and he was called "Mr." as was his presumed grandfather, Richard, who was a sheriff of Norwich in 1596 to which office he was elected their number by the mayor and alderman. Need of brevity requires omission of all detailed findings, but the facts stated are accepted as presumptive evidence of such identification."(p. 61 of the source)^{(p. 61 of the source)} Anderson concisely points out that Ferris "does not present all the evidence, and the evidence which is printed is not sufficient to prove the origins."(p. 90 in source)^{(p. 90 in source)} Ferris conceded that "no documentary proof has been found positively identifying Edward of New England with the Edward [of Panfield]," and instead she relied on the following points as proof that the two Edwards were the same: # an exhaustive search of records in England where Bangs families were, was conducted # only one Edward Bangs was found who was born at the right time (1591) # Edward the Immigrant named his (presumably) firstborn son John, the same name as the father of Edward of Panfield # Edward the Immigrant was referred to as "Mr." as was the grandfather (Richard Bangs) of Edward of Panfield '''An examination of each point follows.''' 1. In genealogical research more often than not there are more notes for negative findings than there are for positive ones, so it is no wonder Ferris said that the "[n]eed of brevity requires omission of all detailed findings." As with many research endeavors the reader must rely on the researcher's word that the research they conducted was indeed "sufficiently exhaustive" to cover every possibility. In this case that would include the location of every known Bangs family with all spelling variations and misspellings of the name. In ''History and Genealogy of the Bangs Family in America''Dudley, Dean. ''History and Genealogy of the Bangs Family in America : With Genealogical Tables and Notes, Tracing the Descendants, Male and Female, from the Pilgrim Ancestor, Edward Bangs of Plymouth and Eastham : Illustrated with Numerous Fine Engravings'' Montrose, Massachusetts: Dean Dudley (1896) pp. 12-15 https://www.familysearch.org/library/books/records/item/256204-history-and-genealogy-of-the-bangs-family-in-america-with-genealogical-tables-and-notes-tracing-the-descendants-male-and-female-from-the-pilgrim-ancestor-edward-bangs-of-plymouth-and-eastham-illustrated-with-numerous-fine-engravings-and (Dean Dudley suggests that Edward the Immigrant may have had the surname of Banks/Bankes while in England (see an analysis of this idea below). Because we do not have Ferris' research notes we do not know if this possibility was taken into account and if the research eliminated all potential Edward Banks/Bankes.) 2. Regardless of the exhaustiveness of the research performed, the inability to find records does not mean that such records were not in existence at some point in time (or that an event occurred but no record was made). It is possible that multiple Edward Bangs were born in England at the time Edward Bangs, passenger on the Anne, was born but no record has been found. Thus, '''just''' having the same name and same year of birth is insufficient to show that the Great Migration Immigrant Edward Bangs is identical to Edward Bangs of Panfield, England. 3. Assuming for a moment that John was indeed Edward's oldest son (see information below concerning Thomas Bangs' Bill against Mary Bangs), this is weak indirect evidence in favor of the two Edwards being the same as first sons were not always named after their paternal grandfather. For example, the father of John Bangs (Edward Bangs of Panfield's father) was a first born son, but he was not named after his paternal grandfather, William Bangs. 4. Ferris makes the claim that both Edward the immigrant and Edward of Panfield's grandfather, Richard, were called "Mr." yet she gives no evidence of such.Bangs, Paul and Peter Bangs. ''The Bangs Family of East Anglia - the first 800 years,'' Kindle edition^{(1:247 of source includes an original document twice using "Mr" to refer to Richard Bangs} This is a weak argument that the two Edward's were identical. Additionally, as a possible sign of sloppiness or poor research, Ferris mistakenly asserts that Richard was sheriff in 1596. He died 16 May 1586(1:261-63 of source)^{(1:261-63 of source, citing National Archives"Banges v Pendelton. Plaintiffs: John Banges of Norwich, Norfolk." National Archives, Ref. C 2/Eliz/B8/42, https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/C5695314 and "Queen's Almoner v Pleasants." National Archives, Ref. STAC 5/A4/33, https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/C5371900)} so therefore could not have been sheriff in 1596. The burden of evidence is on the person making the claim and from this analysis it is easy to see why Anderson was dismissive of Ferris' claim. Is it impossible that the two Edwards were the same? No, it certainly is possible, probable, even. However, the weak indirect evidence presented by Ferris alone is in no way compelling, and as of 2015 the position of NEHGS' Great Migration Project is that the parents of Edward Bangs have not been proven. === Paul and Peter Bangs' Research === In their book, ''The Bangs Family of East Anglia - the first 800 years,''(2:7-16 of source)^{(2:7-16 of source)}, Paul and Peter Bangs state that Edward Bangs the Immigrant was the son of John and Jane (Chavis) Bangs. The main points they offer for the claim, are: # Thomas Bangs, son of Thomas Bangs (1619), son of an unknown Bangs (Thomas, John, Edward, or other), the son of [[Bangs-13|John Bangs]], claimed in a suit in 1739 that his grandfather, Thomas Bangs (of Panfield), went to New England, but the only known Bangs to have arrived in New England was Edward Bangs, hence Edward Bangs of Panfield and Edward the Immigrant were the same. The first issue is trying to determine who Thomas Bangs (b. ~1619) actually was and who he descended from. That he later takes claim of John Bangs' (1560-1632) entailed estate as seen in the 1633 Inquisitio, and stated in that document it claims that Thomas (b. ~1619) "is his [John Bangs (1560-1632)] blood relative and heir and is the son and heir of John Banges [1589-1632] deceased, the son and heir, while he lived, of the aforesaid John Banges [1560-1632]...was of the age of thirteen years."(1:327-38 source)^{(1:327-28 of source)} The problem of identifying Thomas as John Bangs' (1589-1632) son is that Thomas (1619) was not named in John the elder's will but John the younger's two children, John and Elizabeth, were named in the will...if Thomas was John the younger's son, and John's children John and Elizabeth were named in the will, why wasn't John the younger's presumably oldest son, Thomas, named in the will? Unfortunately, Paul and Peter Bangs tell us there are missing records for Hempstead and so there are no records found for Thomas or Elizabeth Bangs. This takes us to 1739 when Thomas, son of Thomas (1619) brings a bill against Mary Bangs. Within that bill we find the following : :"Humbly complaining sheweth unto your lordship your orator Thomas Bangs of Hempstead in the County of Essex, Gentleman, that your orator’s late '''grandfather Thomas Bangs of Hempstead''' aforesaid was in his life time or at the time of his death seized in fee or some other good estate of inheritance in law or equity... [Thomas then names several properties owned] :"And your orator further sheweth that your orator’s '''said grandfather being minded to settle his estate in the premises before he embarked for New England where he died, did therefore some small time before he so embarked for New England aforesaid''', by his last will or by some other good and sufficient settlement or conveyance and assurance in the law, transfer and convey his said estate in the said premises by such names and descriptions as before is particularly set forth or by some other sufficient names and descriptions to his brother John Bangs and Sampson Bangs of Hempstead aforesaid or to some other person or persons and their heirs or to one of them and his heirs in trust... :"And your orator further sheweth that within some small time after your orator’s said grandfather had so settled and assured the estate and premises before mentioned and signified in manner aforesaid that '''he your orator’s said grandfather did embark and proceeded on his journey to New England aforesaid and arrived thereat and after his arrival and dwelling there some time was so well pleased with the climate and country that he resolved to become an inhabitant there and accordingly did become an inhabitant thereof and there died and left Thomas Bangs his eldest son who was heir male of his body and heir general''' to whom the said premises descended or otherwise came to and he entered and was seized thereof but made no alteration of the said estate but died so seized and left John Bangs his eldest son and your orator Thomas Bangs his second son and the premises descended to the said John Bangs after his said father’s death and he entered upon the same either as his first son or as heir male in tail or otherwise in tail or heir general to his said father and held and enjoyed the same till the first of November 1708..."Bangs, Paul. “Bangs History.” Email, September 7, 2021. Digital images and transcription of Thomas Bangs' Bill against Mary Bangs, 1739 shared from Paul Bangs to Scott Carles. * ''tail male'' "An entailed interest under which only male descendants of the original tenant in tail can succeed to the land.""tail male." Oxford Reference, doi:10.1093/oi/authority.20110803101916712. An entailed interest is one in which the ownership of land can only be held by heirs. The Bangs brothers issue a word of caution when interpreting the above bill: Thomas was prone to both lying and forgery as seen in the documents he left in his wake. Assuming he told the truth, there are three problems with Thomas' statement: 1) according to the 1733 Inquisitio John the younger was the oldest son of John the Younger and it was through that line that Thomas (1619) inherited lands, not through some son of John the elder's named Thomas, 2) The only Thomas mentioned in John Bangs' will was for his nephew, Thomas; as far as is known there was no brother of John and Samson named Thomas, and 2) the only Bangs known to have gone to New England was an Edward Bangs. '''Regardless''' of whether Thomas was telling the truth or not, there was at least some family lore Thomas was aware of that showed a son of John the Elder's had migrated to New England, never to return. As the only known Bangs who emigrated at that time was Edward Bangs the immigrant, there is a good chance that Edward of Pansfield and Edward the Immigrant were the same. Assuming for a moment that the two Edwards were the same, that brings up other problems which need to be addressed because it would mean that: a) Edward was married previous to Lydia Hicks, b) the unknown wife and children never traveled to New England as there is no record of such, and c) Edward's first son was not John of New England. At about 32 years old when he left England, Edward was certianly old enough to have been married and fathered several children before arriving in the colonies. Again, Hempstead records are sparse for the time period in question, so there is no corroborating evidence in England. However, in New England Edward received four lots in the division of land in Plymouth Colony,“Plymouth Colony Records, Deeds, 1620-1699. Deeds, Vol. 1, 1620-1651.” Microfilm, 35mm. Online. FamilySearch.org, Film #567788 DGS 7451132, image 11 of 239, original page 10, https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QS7-99Z7-5ZZ1?i=387&cc=2106411&cat=136706. with Governor Bradford dividing the land according to family size: "...so assigned to every family a parcel of land, according to the proportion of their number."Bradford, William, and Harold Paget. ''Bradford’s History of the Plymouth Settlement, 1608-1650.'' New York, E.P. Dutton & company, 1920. If this were the case then it would appear that Edward Bangs may have had four people in his family: a wife and two children. Since there is no record of any such family in Plymouth, either there really was no family and Edward received more lots for some reason other than size of a family that never existed, or his English family never arrived in New England. Regarding a wife prior to Lydia Hicks, Anderson says, "pending discoveries in English records, no wife prior to Lydia Hicks is assumed here. (Although if Edward's claimed age is close to correct, he certainly would have been old enough to have a family in 1623.)"(p. 90 of source)^{(p. 90 of source)} Information from John Bangs' will indicates that his son, Edward Bangs of Panfield, was still alive at the time the will was written on 27 Aug. 1631 since Edward's name appears on it. During the Colonial America era, many times a will written in England who had heirs in America would make note of that in the will.For example, Joane Parker of Southwark, Surrey, England, who in her will (written in 20 Aug. 1674 and proved Apr. 1675) left her "brother Henry Curtis of Sundbury in New England" 20 shillings. “The Family of Henry Curtis of Sudbury, Mass.” In ''The New England Historical and Genealogical Register'', 61:258. [Boston, etc., New England Historic Genealogical Society]. 1847. Internet Archive, https://archive.org/details/newenglandhistor1907wate/page/258/mode/1up One might assume that if John's son, Edward, was in America, and if John knew he was (Edward the Immigrant arrived in America about eight years before John's will was written), he would have mentioned it. However, just because he did not mention does not preclude his son from being in America. === ''Bangs'' for 'Banks' === In an effort at thoroughness, an examination of the idea that Edward Bangs descended from a Banks/Bankes family is included. An entry in ''The Norman People...'' which claimed "Bangs, for Banks,""Bangs." ''The Norman People and Their Existing Descendants in the British Dominions and the United States of America.'' Henry S. King & Co., London (1874), p. 148, Internet Archive, https://archive.org/details/normanpeoplethei00lond/page/n322/mode/1upmay have led Dean Dudley, in his ''History and Genealogy of the Bangs Family in America'',(pp. 12-14 of source)^{(pp. 12-14 of source)} to follow that thread. In his book Dudley included information gathered from correspondence with descendants of Edward Bangs the Immigrant as well as family lore handed down to those correspondents. That information indicates that Edward's English ancestors were from Chichester or the Isle of Man and that the name there was originally Banks/Bankes. There seems to be no corroborating sources for the correspondents' assertions, but Dudley includes an additional tidbit concerning the Banks/Bankes connection. One of Dudley's correspondents was a Henry Latham Magruder who was a descendant of Edward Bangs. Magruder claimed in his letter that "the fleur-de-lis in our crest shows that the family must have come originally from France." Dudley then writes: : "The crest of which Mr. Magruder speaks is one which Capt. Jonathan Bangs [Edward's son] used in 1680, and an impression of it on wax I have, which was stamped by him on an important document. I suppose he had it from his father, as there were no such seal engravers in America at that time. It is the same crest as the one used by Sir John Banks of London in time of the Stuarts... : "Mr. Magruder adds: 'I am of the opinion that the fact that Capt. Jonathan Bangs used a Bankes crest as early as 1680 is sufficient proof that he was descended from the Bankes family, and if he was descended from the Bankes family and entitled to that, crest he must also have been entitled to the coat, a cross between four fleur-de-lis."(p. 14 of source)^{(p. 14 of source)} Dudley includes a drawing of the crest but does not name the "important document" Jonathan supposedly used the seal on, thus relying on the reader to solely believe his claim. Since Dudley presented nothing more than speculation and hearsay, with no other sources to verify the accuracy of that information, for now it is necessary to disregard this theory. === Conclusions === The research for Ferris' book may have been more exhaustive than seems at first blush. The endnotes reference the Inquisito,(p. 67 of source)^{(p. 67 of source)} and, more importantly, endnote 1 says, "Data gathered by G. E. Bangs, First National Bank, Chicago, Ill. which is Gay Esty Bangs, who, in 1917, published a piece titled, "The Bangs Family In England."Bangs, Gay Estey [sic]. "The Bangs Family In England." ''Bangs Family Papers,'' Library of Cape Cod History and Genealogy, No. 29 (1917), unpaginated. FamilySearch International, FamilySearch.org https://www.familysearch.org/library/books/records/item/796167-bangs-family-papers From what can be garnered from G. E. Bangs' information in this writing he must have done his research because it matches most sources in what it includes, although he has left little in the way of citations in that piece; assuming the research Ferris refers to is the same research, it probably was somewhat exhaustive. However, there is no mention of either the 1720 deed witnessed and signed by Edward Bangs in 1620,"Grant, in Pursuance to a Deed of Covenant Dated 1 May 1620, by Thomas Cotton Esq. Of..." (3 May 1620), The National Archives, Kew, Ref. WARD 2/12/40A/6, accessed 29 Aug. 2021 https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/C4452238 John Bangs' will of 1631 or Thomas Bangs' bill against Mary Bangs, all of which provide additional insight into Edward of Panfield's later life. Anderson was correct that Ferris "does not present all the evidence," so maybe it's time to re-examine Edward the Immigrant's parentage. The first step is to look at Ferris' anaylsis of the data as a very small piece of the puzzle instead of simply taking her at face value. The second thing is to see Anderon's critique for what it is: he does not say that Ferris is wrong, he says that Ferris did not make her case; although we respect Anderson for his research, he does not make a case for alternatives but leaves the door open for others to do the research. So, can a better case be made that Edward of Panfield is the same as Edward the Immigrant to America? Paul and Peter Bangs have filled in many of the gaps in research and appear to have actually done a reasonably exhaustive search for any relevant documents. An important point to remember is that they have noted that there are a number of missing Hempstead records which obviously makes finding them impossible. This means that we must rely on the smattering of direct evidence and a handful of points of indirect evidence, luckily all of those points are found in original sources. [adding more here] What it may boil down to is this: which is more likely, that an Edward Bangs appeared in America in 1623 leaving behind no record of his approximately 33 years of life in England, or that Edward of Panfield and Edward the Immigrant are the same with all of the attending loose ends? == Sources ==

[[Smith-32867|Jillaine Smith]] 28 March 2018 (co-leader, Wikitree PGM project) --------------- '''#1 [[Abbott-102|George Abbott]] of Bishop's Stortford, Hertfordshire, England and Andover, Massachusetts''' Of all the Georges the most is known about this man and his English ancestry. George's family can be traced back to about 1470 or so. This ancestry was published in the Register in 1931. This is that ancestry: * William b. c. 1470, wife unknown, he was a church warden at St. Michael's in Bishop Stortford. He was last known alive 21 November 1532. ** John, b. c. 1495, wife unknown, taxed in Bishops Stortford in 1523, probably had two sons, last known alive in 1545. *** William, b. c. 1525, married Margaret_____, they had four sons: George, Robert, John and Thomas. William wrote his will on 12 March 1568/9. The will was proved about two weeks later of 29 March 1569. All of his sons were minors, George seems to have been the eldest as he was the heir to most of his father's property. **** George, b. c. 1550, m. Bridget Wyllie, bp. 7 Feb 1551, he was buried 11 Jan 1619/20, she was buried 13 August 1625. His name appears in court rolls, and the church warden rolls. He left a will dated 12 October 1619. His executor and heir was his son George. He left his his messuage and household stuff, 18 acres of land. George was also to take care of his mother Margaret and pay his brothers from his inheritance. George and Margaret (presumably) had seven children, two died young and five are named in the will. Bridget was from Thorley, Hertfordshire. Her sister, Agnes was the mother of another New England immigrant, William Dennison. Their parents were John and Joan Marshall Wyllie who were married on 7 October 1540 at St. James the Great, Thorley. Thorley was a village just on the edge of Bishops Stortford. ***** George, bp. 28 May 1587, m. Elizabeth _____. did not leave a will, they had four sons baptized in Bishops Stortford, last one in 1628. Nothing further is known. ****** George, bp. 22 May 1617, m. Hannah Chandler. This George Abbott immigrated to Massachusetts. He settled in Andover. He died on 24 November 1681. Hannah m. Francis Dane. George lived briefly in Roxbury, MA where he married Hannah. They then moved to Andover. He had a son George, b. 7 June 1655 who married Dorcas Graves. These are the only two George Abbott with ancestry in Bishops Stortford. ---------------------------------------------- '''#2 [[Abbott-89|George Abbott]] of Chappel, Essex, England, and Rowley, Massachusetts and his son #3 [[Abbott-97|George Abbott]] of Chappel, Essex, England, and Rowley and Andover, Massachusetts''' This George's ancestry came to light in a 2011 ''American Genealogist'' article by Leslie Mahler. She was able to trace his ancestry to Chappel, Essex, England. His father's name was Thomas Abbott and George was baptized at St. Barnabas on 24 November 1586. Thomas was buried 30 May 1625. Anne Abbott, wife of Thomas and presumed mother of George, was buried on 16 November 1612. They were married in Great Tey on 5 October 1624. George #2 married [[Felstead-35|Mary Felstead]] as his first wife. Their children (plus a younger child born to George and an unknown second wife whom he married after Mary's death) were born at Chappel, Essex. George #2 and his family immigrated to Rowley, Massachusetts where he died in 1647. His son [[Abbott-97|George Abbott]] #3 married [[Farnham-60|Sarah Farnham]] in 1658. They left Rowley and settled in Andover, where he became known as George Abbott Jr. to differentiate him from George Abbott #1. ----------------------------------------------------- '''#4 [[Abbott-184|George Abbott]] of Norwalk, Connecticut''' The English origins of this George are unknown. He arrived in Windsor Connecticut by 1640 when he got into trouble for selling ammunition to the Indians. He spent some time in Hartford before finally settling in Norwalk. His first wife was Mary Weed, daughter of Jonas Weed. His second wife was Mrs. Johanna Williamson of Boston. This George wrote his will in 1689. ---------------- Non-Vital Record sources for Abbotts Abbott, Abiel Register Abiel, Rev., D.D. and Abbott, Ephraim, Rev., [https://archive.org/details/agenealogicalre02abbogoog A Genealogical Register of the Descendants of George Abbot, of Andover, George Abbot, of Rowley, Thomas Abbot, of Andover, Arthur Abbot, of Ipswich, Robert Abbott, of Branford, Ct. - and George Abbott, of Norwalk, Ct.] (Boston: James Munroe and Company, MDCCCXLVII) (Free e-book) V.

[[Andrews-116|James Andrews (abt.1626-1704)]] [[Andrews-131|Elisha Andrews (-bef.1702)]] == The Family == Children: # Elisha - 1660, married Elinor Brackett before 1698 # Josyah / Joshuah - 1660, died 1691 (maybe 1690, at the attack of Falmouth?) # Samuel - 1647, possibly killed while fighting in King Philips War around 1675. # James - born 1650, died around 1676, married Sarah Mitton (died without children before 1675); married 2 unknown. Children: Jemimah (1676). # Rebecca - born 1655 Saco, married Jonathan Adams # Dorcas - born 1663 Falmouth, married Ebenezer Davenport # Jane - born Jan 7 1664, married Andrew Alger & Robert Davis Good records to identify family members are very scarce in Maine. Some communities didn't have churches, therefore didn't keep vital records. Other communities were burned or otherwise destroyed around 1676 and again around 1690, once again destroying most records in their churches. Therefore the only records we can rely on for most communities in Maine are from petitions, deeds, wills and the like. James Andrews' will in 1704 lists only one son, Elisha, and three daughters and their husbands. The other sons' names come from a document listing James Senior, James Junior and Samuell Andrews sent out to fight in 1675 in King Philip's War, a petition asking not to grant some land to James' sons Elisha and Joshuah in 1688 and Elisha and Josyah Andrews asking for a grant of land to build a saw mill on in 1688. There are also a description of James Jr. and a few scattered records of James Jr.'s daughter Jemima. I have otherwise not found record of these 3 extra sons who would have died long before James' will was confirmed in 1704. James' wife' name Dorcas is apparently only known from a gravestone that might no longer exist. While it's reported at Find a Grave at Granary Burying Ground in Boston, there is no picture of it and only a partial inscription: "wife of James, 69 years." It may actually say "60 years" instead - there is argument over that.Find a Grave as found at [https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/19813151/dorcas-andrews]Find a Grave lists her name as Susan Dorcas Mitton. Others call her Sarah Mitton. In a deposition in the 1730, a man named James Ross said that he knew James Andross of Falmouth well and also his son and that his wife was Sarah the daughter of Michael Mitton.Twenty Six Great Migration Colonists to New England as found at [https://www.familysearch.org/library/books/records/item/265824-twenty-six-great-migration-colonists-to-new-england-their-origins?viewer=1&offset=0#page=229&viewer=picture&o=&n=0&q=]However, it is now thought that James Ross meant that Sarah Mitton married James' son James. We do not find Dorcas listed anywhere as Michael Mitton's daughter. Michael's children Nathaniel (with no children), Anne, Elizabeth, Mary, Sarah (with no children) and Martha are mentioned in a land document in 1731 listing Mary inherited it. Michael's wife Elizabeth had only 2 living daughters (Elizabeth and Martha) when she died in 1682; Dorcas died in 1696.Narkive, Possible Correction to Dunkle, "The Andrews-Cogswell-Page Bible", Genealogist 3[1982] as found at [https://soc.genealogy.medieval.narkive.com/IyN6tHDN/possible-correction-to-dunkle-the-andrews-cogswell-page-bible-genealogist-3-1982]A few deeds seem to suggest James may have been related to the Mittons. In 1657 James received a grant of land from George Cleeves, father to Michael's wife, and next to James' land Cleeves also granted his granddaughter Ann Mitton land.The History of Portland, from 1632 to 1864: With a Notice of Previous ...

However, Cleeves is known to have granted land to several people who weren't related to him, and the grant mentions no family connection to James. There was also an island, later called Andrews, Fort or Bangs Island, that somewhere around 1667 went from belonging to Michael Mitton to James Andrews. Some say it was a dowry for James when he married one of Michael Mitton's daughters. But we have no proof of this since the exchange doesn't appear in any records anyplace.An Historical Sketch, Guide Book, and Prospectus of Cushing's Island, Casco ...By William Mitchell Sargent as found at [https://books.google.com/books?id=Q5wSGK21mJ8C&pg=PA26&lpg=PA26&dq=Joshua+Andrews+Casco&source=bl&ots=dt6TNXPrGf&sig=ACfU3U02S39UC7UuYyrr9gj3NjxzLW18aQ&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjdpf3PpoP2AhV_l4kEHbkqBOIQ6AF6BAgiEAM#v=onepage&q=Andrews&f=false] One tall tale of Andrews' Island before his acquiring it is worth telling. Michael Mitton, the owner, said he was in his canoe by the island fowling one day when a Triton (or merman) appeared, taking hold of the sides of the canoe.

In any case his first wife is normally given as Dorcas. It seems that whatever records of the Falmouth church (if there was one) were destroyed along with the town in 1690, taking proof of James' first wife with it.

Registry Dept as found at [https://archive.org/details/volumeofrecordsr28bost/page/348/mode/2up?q=Andrews] James Andrews lived in New Casco, part of Falmouth and Portsmouth, Maine. His son Elisha also settled there. He lived there with his mother Jane MacWorth on the east side of the Presumpscot River. When he fled Falmouth in 1690 he settled and stayed in Boston, where he died in 1704. After the war ended in 1698, some settlers returned, and a new fort was built - this one on James Andrews' old farm land.

He also wrote some letters and petitions. He was one of the few men that didn't have a signature mark by his name. Everyone who couldn't read or write had their own signature mark. James apparently didn't need one: he could read and write. On June 8 1658 James Andrews and Jane MacWorth were among many signers of a petition asking whether it was lawful or not for Robert Jordan, who had recently been trying to buy as much land as possible and cut down trees to build and operate a saw mill, to do this. Several men were contesting this. At this point Andrews seems to be on the side of Jordan.Collections of the Maine historical society by Maine Historical Society Publication date 1831 as found at [https://archive.org/details/collectionsofmai04main/page/76/mode/2up?q=Andrews] In 1668 James Andrews and Jane MacWorth widow were among several petitioners to the governor about 3 men who had been causing trouble and threatening townspeople who had now petitioned the governor to give them voting rights.

In 1675 the people under him started attacking towns across New England in revenge for various acts the colonists did. Maine in particular was ransacked, 400 settlers dying. In 1676 all the settlers in Falmouth and Casco Bay fled the area. James went to Boston. The war ended in April 1678 with the treaty of Casco Bay, allowing the settlers to return, acknowledging Wabenaki triumph, and each family paying them a peck of corn every year as tribute, In 1675 James Andrews Senior, James Andrews Junior and Samuell Andrews were among 17 men who departed the garrison at Falmouth to fight in King Philip's War. On October 6 (probably the date they departed), Searjeant Major Richard Walden left a notice in Falmouth that since they had fewer men to protect them no one was to go out of Falmouth, even by ship, for any reason.Documentary history of the state of Maine, Volume IV, the Baxter Manuscripts by Maine Historical Society Publication date 1869-1916 as found at [https://archive.org/details/documentaryhisto04main/page/348/mode/2up?q=Andrews] On Oct 21 1675 James Andrews Senior of Falmouth gave or sold one barrel of powder "by estimation one hundred weight to Daniel Wakley and Thomas Hues." A few days later James Andrews of Casco petitioned the governor that George Munjoy and Leif Ingerson with others from the committee demanded a barrel of powder that he had purchased for the defense of his own family and neighbors from him. He refused to deliver it, so Munjoy had held him prisoner until he delivered it to him. This left James' house "utterly destitute of Powder" so they couldn't defend themselves from the "violence of the Barbarous Enimy." The council gave him twenty pounds of his powder back.Documentary history of the state of Maine, Volume VI, the Baxter Manuscripts by Maine Historical Society Publication date 1869-1916 as found at [https://archive.org/details/documentaryhisto06main/page/98/mode/2up?q=Andrews] On Aug 11 1676 the Indians attacked Falmouth. They killed a number of people, Several people had been hiding in Munjoy's garrison: they fled to James Andrew's island where he had built a garrison. This island, at the mouth of the harbor, was called Portland Island when James bought it; it was later known as Andrews Island and also Fort Island because of the event described here. While separated from the mainland and held protection from arrows, it was also within musket range of the coast. Soon after he arrived, the minister wrote a letter asking for help. They then built a new building for protection.

James Andrews had petitioned for a patent of 120 acres, and his sons Elisha and Joshua had petitioned for another 150 acres of John Petcone's 500 acres. This would utterly ruin their wives.

In North America it was New England against New France and the Wabanaki Confederacy. This was mostly about treaties and agreements from King Philip's War that weren't adhered to. Also, Indians were playing England and France against each other, making them think they were allies of the other country. In August 1689 the Wabenaki destroyed the fort at Pemaquid, and Falmouth became the frontier area for New England. On Sept 21 1689 Major Benjamin Church led a raid defending Falmouth, then took his soldiers back to Boston leaving Falmouth undefended. In May 1690 500 French and Indian troops attacked the Falmouth settlement, slaughtering 200 settlers and taking another 100 captive. James and his family must have fled to Boston before this. Falmouth was uninhabited until 1714. In April 1689 Col. Edward Tyng, Capt. Joshua Scottow, Lt. Vines Ellacott, Mr. James Andrews and Mr. John Jones petitioned on behalf of the inhabitants of the eastern parts of Maine, on hearing the awful news of what had happened at Pemiquid, asked for more forces to defend them.

The former inhabitants of Falmouth could now return and claim their property. Apparently James wasn't interested in that. His property went to the family of his oldest son, James Junior. Apparently his daughter Jemima was the only family member surviving. She was married now, to Benjamin Snelling. We don't know when James Junior died, but at latest it would have been during the latest war. However, James Andrews is called senior only once - in 1676. After that he's only referred to as James Andrews. This would make it more likely James Junior died around 1676, during King Philip's War, when Jemima was an infant. On Jan 4 1698 James Andrews gave his grand-daughter Jemima Snelling land in Falmouth as a gift. This was 130 acres of upland and 4 acres of marsh in Casco at Mussel Brook.York Deeds, Volume 12, Issue 2 By York County (Me.).

note - I made a typo James should be Joseph I wonder why Mary Sherwood-60 daug of Thomas is attached as wife of Joseph Jr Loomis-66 a PPP ? Looks Mary Chauncey-153 should be attached as 2nd wife of Loomis-66 PPP. Mother of James Loomis-1509 who has wife Drake-4065. Answer: There is no source to back up the assertion that Mary Chauncey was the second wife of Joseph Loomis. There is, instead, as entered by Mathew Grant, second town clerk of Windsor, in his own hand, the following: "Joſep lomis mared mary ſharwood Juen 28 . 1659".Connecticut Historical Society, ‘’Some Early Records and Documents of and relating to the Town of Windsor, Connecticut, 1639-1703’’ (Hartford, Connecticut Historical Society, 1930).

[[Pope-1296|John Pope 1622-1686]] The bulk of these notes come from the book "A History of the Dorchester Pope Family" by Charles Henry Pope in 1888. All information here either comes from a Deeds book, the Dorchester Town Records book or from the First Church of Dorchester's Vital Records book unless the notes say otherwise. Some information in this book has been proven to be incorrect, such as the two first John Popes being father and son. == Origins of the Pope Family == When one hears the name "Pope" one naturally thinks of the leader of the Roman Catholic Church. This word means "father." However, in ancient Roman the word meant "The priest who kills the victim." This is probably closer to the original meaning of our ancestors' last name. There was a hamlet named Popeham listed in Hampshire just north of Winchester in the 1986 Domesday book. this literally means "a collection of farmers with the last name of Pope." The first person we find with the last name Pope is Thomas Pope as a witness to a deed in St. Mildred, Oxford in 1287. There was also a Ralph Pope who put his seal on a deed of land in Bentley, Suffolk in 1316. There is also a John Pope and his wife Margaret with their son John deeding a homestead in Freston, Suffolk in 1367. After this, several Pope families show up in Suffolk, Oxford, Northamptonshire, Kent, Sussex, London, Dorset, Somersetshire, Bristol, Devonshire; basically most of the southern coast of England and the counties just north of them. And there are plenty of Williams, Johns, Thomases and even Ralphs among them. The Oxford family seems to have died out; the Bristol group doesn't look much like ours either. The London families look the most likely to be our John's ancestors, but it's impossible to tell for certain. === John Pope Senior === The first John Pope (or Poape) in Dorchester became a freeman on Sept 3 1634 with 53 other men of Dorchester. This is the earliest record we have of him. He may have been living in the area as early as 1631, but that is only conjecture. It seems a wall was built around Dorchester in 1634, one of the gates being in front of John Pope's house. In 1635 he was allotted 20 acres to farm. In 1636 most of the inhabitants of Dorchester moved to Windsor, Connecticut to form a colony there. John Pope remained behind, becoming one of the 7 pillars of the church there as well as one of the selectmen. In 1639 he received 2 acres to make up for land that was taken from him. In 1645 there is a document in which he is called John Pope Senior. This does not mean he had a son named John. It means that another John Pope who was younger than he was moved into Dorchester. We don't know how or even if the two John Popes were related, but we do know that in 1643 John Pope Jr. and his wife Alice baptized a baby named Thomas in Dorchester. John Sr. was actually not that old since he and his wife Jane baptized a baby, Nathan, in July 1941, who died the same month. John Pope Senior died Feb 26 1646. Thus the two John Popes did live in the same place for at least 3 years. But how do we know they weren't father and son? First, John Pope Jr. isn't mentioned in the wills of John Pope in 1636 or Jane Pope in 1662. They list their daughter Experience with her husband Edward Blake, and John lists his servants, his brother Thomas and his brother-in-law Joshua, and also Stephen Hoppen. His will also lets us know he was a weaver by trade, as well as a farmer (everyone farmed back then). If son or even a nephew or cousin, John Pope Jr. would surely be mentioned in at least one will, even if they found they didn't get along or were disagreeable to each other. Secondly, John and Jane had a son named John baptized on June 30 1635. This was certainly not our John, and it would seem strange to have two sons named John. Thirdly, there was a John Pope who came as an indentured servant to Dorchester in 1637. This provides a completely different reason for our John Pope to show up in Dorchester by 1642. In 1657, the Dorchester birth, marriage and death book was destroyed when Thomas Millet's house burned down. Only a copy of one small part of baptisms and marriages survived. This left us 3 pieces of information from before 1657, but probably destroyed a lot of other information that would have cleared up any relationship between the two Johns. == John Pope == A John Pope came as an indentured servant to Nicholas Butler, his wife Joyce and their 3 children and 4 other servants from Ashford / Eastwell, Kent on the ship Hercules (captain Witherley) in 1637. The Butler family settled in Dorchester, and it was probably in 1651 moved on to Martha's Vineyard leaving the Dorchester estate in the hands of the oldest Butler son, John. On March 25 1639 John Pope was approved to buy a 12 acre lot in Dedham as he agreed to orders and said he'd come to live there. This might have been our John Pope. Obviously he didn't settle there. No Pope family members appear in Dedham at this time. This would indicate he had finished his time of indentured servanthood by now. The first mention of John and Alice in Dorchester was the birth of Thomas on Oct 27 1643. They may have had Margaret together next, but we have no indication of her mother anywhere. In 1651 and 1652 the Rates (a way of taking care of poor people) was taken on Alice's "laks children" and cloths. Also in 1651 John Pope had 8 acres in the "Divisions in the Cow walke" and the holders of lots. Alice would have died soon after this, but that record didn't survive. John married 2 Margaret. Children: John (March 5 1658), Susanna, William, Mary, Ebenezer, Thankful, Ralph, Jane (May 23 1677), Joseph (Oct 17 - 24 1679). === Life Events === John Pope doesn't seem to have cared for church much. On Dec 12 1665 the constable was to collect from John Pope and Thomas Wilkinson the Rate of the Ministery (money the church regularly collected from families). John was behind 3 years. John also never became a freeman. John's land was on Squantum's Neck, and on March 20 1665 he requested that a highway going through it be removed as long as he could have the land between Goodman Leeds' meadow and the highway. There was a law that anyone entertaining someone from out of town for more than a week needed to get a license for it from the selectmen or else pay a 5 shilling fine, with 3 shillings for every week after that. On Oct 13 1669 John Pope was called to get the license or pay the penalty for his daughter (most likely Margaret, working in Boston) staying with him. In 1674 another strict law, that of attending Catechism (a church teachings class), came down on him warning him to bring his children to be catechized. Six weeks later it was repeated, and he was to come with them. On Feb 12 1675 he finally appeared before the Select men to give a report, and he promised "to be more dillegent that way to attaine instruction for them." On March 10 1680 John Pope was granted "libertie to git 1400 Clobords out of the Common Swamps belonging unto Dorchester." He had obviously asked permission to get clear-logs to split into clove-boards. Timber was no longer very available on private lands, and this was enough to build a sizeable house. === Death and Inventory === " Mrs. Margaret Pope Relict Widdow of John Pope late of Dorchester Decsd (deceased) William Sumner, and Preserved Capen of Dorchester " gave bonds Nov. 11 1686, for her performance of the duties of administratrix of the estate of her late husband. "Margaret Pope Administratrix personally appearing made Oath .that the within ac (account) contains a just & true Inventory of the estate [of which] her late husband J"° Pope Dyed Seized & is yet come to her hands & that when more appears she will cause it to be added.

Somehow the business of settling the estate did not prosper to the satisfaction of all. After thirteen years new appraisers were appointed and went over the estate, and the Probate Court issued a detailed order by means of which all points were covered well, and all parties satisfied, it would appear. THE INVENTORY OF 1699: " Wee whose names are hereunto subscribed, being nominated and appointed by the Hon William Stoughton Esq : Jugg of Probate for and in the County of Suffolke To apprise the housing & Lands of John Pope of Dorchester Deceased Intestate accordingly we have mett this 18 of feb 1699/1700 & have Apprised as followeth.

"Boston Feb 29 1699 A document was also issued in 1699 that gave more details than many wills do. It couldn't be divided "among all the children of said deceased without great prejudice to or spoiling of the whole." It was apprized at 238 pounds. His eldest son Thomas (deceased) had already received his portion of the estate. The following received an equal portion of the intestate: son William Pope; son Ralph Pope; Margaret Pierce only child of his daughter Margaret Pierce; Susanna Cox wife of John Cox; Mary Cox widow; Thankful Woodward wife of Smigh Woodward; Jane Munney wife of John Munney. His son John Pope had also died with no male heirs; his son William Pope sold his interest in his father's estate, and went "beyond sea," and hadn't been heard of for several years. Therefore all the houses and lands, barn, 6 acres of land there, 20 acres on the north side of the parallel line, 12 acres by Daniel Preston, 12 acres by the Chappell, and 14 acres of pasture land on the south side of the parallel line, went to his 4th son Ralph. Ralph would then give 19 pounds 16 shillings 8 pence to each: the heirs of his brother John, to William or his representative, to his niece Margaret Pierce, and to his sisters Susanna, Mary, Thankful and Jane. All this within 2 years. This was two thirds of the inheritance. The rest went to Margaret. == Sources == * A history of the Dorchester Pope family, 1634-1888 : with sketches of other Popes in England and America, and notes upon several intermarrying families by Pope, Charles Henry, 1841-1918 as found at [https://archive.org/details/historyofdorches1888pope2/page/n5/mode/2up] * History of the town of Dorchester, Massachusetts by Dorchester Antiquarian and Historical Society (Dorchester, Boston, Mass.); Clapp, Ebenezer, 1809-1881 as found at [https://archive.org/details/historyoftownofd00dorc/page/108/mode/2up?q=Butler] * Records relating to the early history of Boston .. by Boston (Mass.).

=== DNA === Multiple source-record confirmed male descendants of John Wood of Portsmouth, Rhode Island have completed test results through Short Tandem Repeat markers and Single Nucleotide Polymorphism testings, including Big Y-700 testing. The Y-DNA haplogroup is I and the SNP is P37. The haplotree line is IJ > I-M170 > I-P215 > I-CTS2257 > I-L460 > I-P37 > CTS595I > S21825I > Y4213I > Y4192I > L1287I > L233I > Y4197I > Y4252I > Y85503I > FT212799 > FT211895. See Y-full.com for more information. In Eurasia, a man whose I-P37 was a mutation that occurred several thousand years ago was born long before the birth of John Wood of Portsmouth. However, there are be more recent variants occurring after I-P37, as confirmef through the Big Y-700 test. The clade of I-P37 has two subclades, I-CTS595 and I-M423. I-CTS595 has been proven to belong to the male descendants of John Wood of Portsmouth. The Wood DNA Group 10 (descendants of [[Wood-4982|Calvin F. Wood (abt.1811-abt.1884)]]) has identified I-FT211895 which belongs to I-CTS595; there is Y-DNA [https://www.familytreedna.com/public/Wood/default.aspx?section=ycolorized certainty in the pedigree] connecting to John Wood. There are the test results of STR (Short Tandem Repeat) markers on the Y-DNA colorized chart for the Wood / Woods Y-DNA Project through Family TreeDNA.

Look for Group 10 for John Wood of Portsmouth's male descendants. You can see just a few mutations have varied since the birth of John Wood of Portsmouth, so those men are related through the sons of John Wood of Portsmouth, but the chart does not say which one of the five sons, they are descended from, but this information is available. Additionally, a triangulated group has been discovered through autosomal testing that shares [[Wood-114|John Wood]] and his wife [[Unknown-440245|Unknown (Unknown) Wood]] as most recent common ancestors.

''Note: It is not recommended to use the feeds on Discord, as they are unreliable and broken into three separate feeds - Edits, Comments and PGM Adjuncts.'' **You can also use the activity feed in the Feeds to Excel app: https://apps.wikitree.com/apps/beacall6/feedToExcel.php . Some people prefer the format for scanning...although it does not contain the Thank you links. *'''Find the last edit checked''' Go to the PGM Profile Comments google group (currently here https://groups.google.com/g/wikitreepgm-pa) for the ongoing feed check post titled ‘PGM Feedcheck, Part 2’. This is an ongoing post that lasts for the year. This google group also gets an automated feed of comments made on PGM profiles on WikiTree and messages sent to the PGM Project Profile Account. (You can subscribe to just this thread if you don't want to receive all comments into your inbox) ::At the bottom of the post will be the most recent check by whoever did yesterday’s feed. It will look something like this: :::1 Jul 2021 :::07:30: Alan Pendleton edited the Biography for Thomas Lincoln (1622-1692). [Thank Alan for this] ::That means, the last edit that was checked was the July 1 2021 7:30 edit by Alan Pendleton on this profile. You will start with the next, more recent edit. ::Find the place where yesterday's check left off, and begin there. (Ctrl+F, or Cmd+F) (For instructions on how to receive the Daily Activity Feed Thread without receiving all profile comments, see [[Space:Google_Group_Tips#Subscribing_to_a_Thread|Subscribing to a Thread]] ===Check the feed=== :Scan every entry, as you would keeping an eye on the Activity Feed for your own Watchlist, but you don't need to scrutinize every contribution. * '''Less important edits:''' **Edits by experienced PGM or WikiTree members (folks from England, Scotland etc) who you recognize as doing solid work don't need much attention but you can check them to see if there are some disputes, uncertainties etc. **trivial ones like fixing a typo don’t need much attention (but these may be mislabeled, so unfamiliar contributors should be checked). * '''Important edits:''' **'''Changes to names, relationships, and data fields''', should be reviewed and should have a reliable source backing them up. If you are pretty sure it was a bad change, you can go ahead and reverse or undo it if you are comfortable doing that. ***'''Reverting/Correcting changes''' If a questionable change was made and had to be reverted, or you have a question, you can post a comment to the profile and in a friendly way let them know your concern. But if the person who made the edit isn't a PM or TL member, it's better to send them a private message with a link to the Profile url. Including a link to our reliable sources page and/or the communication before editing guidance can be useful. *'''Comments:''' For comments left on profiles, respond at least briefly if the comment warrants a response (use your judgment here). **For comments like "This is my 9th great grandmother," take note of the WikiTree ID, and post in the Feed Check chat (or the ggroup thread). A leader will remove the comment and follow up with the commenter. (We advise them of the guidelines, and invite them to add the descendant sticker and follow the PGM tag) **Pro tip: if you see a series of comments posted on one profile by 2 or three people in a short period of time, sometimes that means an argument is brewing so it’s worth taking a look in case you want to give leadership a heads up. You aren’t responsible for settling these arguments though. *'''Merge Proposals''' Merges are handled by a separate process, so you don't need to do anything. However, '''if there is a difference in the LNAB''', alert a leader if the PGM profile isn't PPP. If the merge proposal is obviously not a match, you can reject it. And if its a simple, correct merge, you can complete it. But its also fine to just leave them to be reviewed later. *'''Thank yous:''' for edits. If you have the time and notice members (especially newer members) adding sources or correcting typos, hit the thank you button. They will appreciate it! *'''Maintenance categories:''' If, in checking suspicious edits, you spot a profile that needs a lot of work and doesn't already have maintenance categories on it, please add them as described below. *'''IF you're not sure:''' If you think an edit was “iffy” but don’t feel comfortable reversing it, please leave a comment on the profile for the profile manager to review it, or mention it in the Activity Feed check googlegroup thread or the Discord "Activity Feed Check Chat''. ===Finishing up=== '''Report the last edit:''' When you get to the top of the activity feed (i.e. there is nothing more listed), copy the last entry and paste it to the bottom of the feed check thread in the “Profile Comments” Google Group using the “reply" function. That way whoever does the check the next day will know where you stopped. The whole process usually takes anywhere from 30 minutes (if there has not been much activity) to an hour or two (if it has been very busy, or if you run into someone who has created a number of big messes) ==FAQ== '''Depth of feed check-ing i.e. "is this an audit?" ''' You don't have to follow every link to every source that people add or read the source yourself, the main thing is to make sure there is an "approved" (or "pretty good" i.e. not just "family lore" or "ancestry.com public tree") source, that it's an inline citation and (hopefully) has a URL link to the source. If those things are lacking and you don't have time to fix it, you can message the person who made the edit asking them to improve the source citation. Same thing if somebody for example adds a child to a PGM profile and it looks questionable as far as solid source citation support. If it's clearly wrong, bad, or just unsourced you can simply reverse the change. If it's a gray area and needs more research, you can message the person asking for clarification along with posting on Discord if appropriate. Bad edits could still sneak through, but we aren't trying to exhaustively audit every change made to every PGM profile, that would be a full-time job. Facts added or changed without sources, in the data or biography section, should be either reversed or questioned (to the person who made the change by profile comment and, if they are not in the comment stream, by private message to make sure they see it). '''Is adding maintenance categories required?''' No, but if you have time and see a profile that needs more attention like gedcom or merge cleanup, please add a "Needs" maintenance category to them. They will also automatically appear on our maintenance category web pages, so at least they will be tracked in the future.

[[Category:PGM Beyond New England]] '''PURPOSE OF THIS PAGE:'''
This page is for PGM Beyond Team Members to communicate about our sub-project. Everyone who is an active member of the Team will be added as ''profile manager'' so activity on this page will show up in your activity feed and/or your email feed.
'''HOW TO PROCEED WITH GROUP COMMUNICATIONS:''' *When you have a new topic for the group's consideration: #Write a short introductory phrase in the comment section toward the bottom of this page. The phrase will arrive via e-mail in the feed of all other members, except yours (the team member who is writing the comment). #Then fully explain your reason for the communication here - just below the horizontal line. :::retype the same introductory phrase, followed by the details you wish to share, the question you wish to ask, or whatever... :::Beyond Team members, " feel free to respond by writing follow-ups - additional information, a question... on on the topic (be sure to sign your name so we know who is writing.) When communicating here, (in this biography section) it will be seen in each of our ''Family Activity Feeds''. You locate your family activity feed by going to your Navagation Home Page, scroll down and find it there. #So to reiterate, after you get an e-mail indicating the introduction of a new PGM Beyond topic, come here to our Bulletin Board. To see follow-ups that are written later, check your Family Activity Feed (activity feed) frequently . ---- '''Question: Does the project include children born in England who arrived in Massachusetts with their PGM parent and then moved to, say, Long Island?''' : I have a list of all those covered by the PGM series from American Ancestors. I started going through it to see who doesn't have profiles or who moved to Long Island. I came across a listing for Nathaniel Woodward. His children were all born in England and came with him in 1633 to Boston. The children do not have PGM templates, but one did move to Long Island, NY. So, would he be part of this project? Is it only for official PGM templated profiles who migrated? I think some children of PGM are also considered PGM. Is that only if they were adult children? [[Selvaggio-84|Selvaggio-84]] 21:42, 18 January 2020 (UTC) ---- '''Topic: BASIC SOURCING for "PGM Beyond New England" profiles that are ''already in existence:''''' :The sourcing procedure for profiles ''already in existance'' is the same as that in the post directly above. However caution needs to be taken - as on all profiles where you're collaborating: :::If you're doing a massive overhaul, communicate carefully and thoroughly with the Profile Manager(s) (PM) about your intentions. :::Make changes only if there are valid sources, or if you've added them. :::Add inline citations with links to your changes so everyone knows the source.

Return to [[Space:Puritan_Great_Migration_Editing_Guidance|PGM Editing Guidance]] ==PGM Editing Guidance - Autobio (Limited Use)== For PGM profiles, we ask that you do not use Autobio, except for a couple of specific situations. '''Be aware that additional editing is always required'''. __TOC__ ===Appropriate uses=== # '''The Family List feature can be used to generate draft sections of the bio (Birth and parent details, death details, spouse and child details.''' [Note: PGM profiles do not include sibling lists. Lists of siblings will be removed) You may have to turn on the Family List option in the WT Browser Extension. # '''If a profile is empty or close to empty, autobio can be used to generate an initial draft to be edited as described below. ''' "Almost empty" means that there is minimal text and no inline citations from reliable sources. (Be aware that sometimes a profile may contain only a single statement that is sourced by a reliable secondary source, such as the Great Migration series, or a scholarly journal such as the NEHGR. Autobio will not be able to recognize this source and will remove it from its inline placement and add it to general sources. Please do not do this.) Most PGM profiles have at least a starting biography, so this is not a common usage. ===Required Editing=== This checklist addresses the common problems we see with AutoBio-generated text. (Note, some of these can be addressed by changing your AutoBio settings) # '''Check any birth or death dates pulled from any attached profiles.''' This includes birth and death dates and locations in the children's list and in the narrative for parents and spouses. It's easy to insert unsourced and inaccurate information inadvertently. # '''Remove any age estimates in the narrative,''' unless there is an actual birth date (or baptism). Most PGM profiles use an estimated birth which can vary widely in accuracy. Inserting these age estimates in places other than the initial explanation for the estimated birth date is misleading. #'''Change any symbols into words.''' Replace symbols such as <>~ with before, after or about. (In the main narrative full words are preferred, but abbreviations are fine in the children's list) #'''Remove the sibling list.''' (if one has been inserted). [https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Puritan_Great_Migration_Editing_Guidance#Siblings_Section_.28Note:_Not_used.29 See editing guidance] # '''Move as many sources from the general sources section to inline references.''' Autobio cannot recognize secondary sources such as the Great Migration or journal articles, which may be especially important for the person's birth and parent information. # '''Check that the use of married names is appropriate, considering possible multiple marriages.''' :*In the narrative, the person's name at the time of marriage should be used, not their current last name. So, for a first marriage, "John Smith married Mary (Brown) Smith" should be changed to "John Smith married Mary Brown." :*In the list of children, it is standard practice to use the first name only or first and LNAB only, and include information on spouses. If a married name is included in the list, it should show all married names for those women with multiple marriages. AutoBio inserts only the current last name. So, in the case of a multiple marriage, "Mary (Brown) Johnson", should be edited to read Mary (Brown) (Smith) Johnson. When in doubt, consider writing your own text rather than relying on AutoBio.

Maybe a week? maybe the person is traveling or on vacation? I'd be OK with a week, not less than 2 days though I'd say. * What if the person who linked the image to the profile is not the uploader? I'd still say the "uploader" because that's the root problem. * I think we DO need image guidance and I think we DO need text guidance too i.e. "a few sentences with attribution is OK but for more than that you need to paraphrase or summarize. You may not copy/paste more than a few sentences." or something like that. People "should" already know this but obviously some don't and again this shows due diligence on our part. "Infringing copyright" is pretty well defined for written and published text, much less so for images so I've come around to the view that I'd rather not use that phrase and ask people to make that legal judgement call for themselves. If "a few sentences" is too vague, let's say "four" or something. == Images Now == IMAGES: * Are all images relevant to the profile? * Are they in the public domain? * Make sure there is a source attached, or statement of why it can be used. * If a wallpaper is used, is it subtle? Does it distract from the text? * If the images are within the biography section, are they a reasonable size and do they appear properly placed (e.g., left or right justified, or centered) == Images == * Remove any ''images not in the in the public domain or permitted by copyright terms''. * Request Profile Manager to correct ''images are not relevant, properly formatted, and sourced''. * Request Profile Manager to correct ''wallpaper that is not subtle or distracts from the text''. == Finish == * Please note in profile 'comment' section that update to ''profile has been completed''. * ''Remove all maintenance categories'' from the profile. * ''Enter the date of completion on the project's managed profiles worksheet''.

[[Category:PGM Beyond New England]] https://www.wikitree.com/photo.php/d/d8/ABGE-152.jpg WELCOME to the PGM sub-project '''Puritan Great Migration Beyond New England,''' the place for profiles of Great Migration-era immigrants who moved on from New England. '''GOAL:''' The goal of this sub-project is to ensure that each emigrant to New England between 1620 and 1640 - ''who then proceeded to permanently leave New England'' - has an updated profile or if needed, has a new profile created. :::The sub-project does NOT include ancestors who routinely sailed between England and New England... only those who left permanently to reside elsewhere. '''MEMBERSHIP:''' You need the Puritan Great Migration badge before becoming a member of the sub-project. To receive a badge, look for the current "PGM Want to Join" post on "genealogist to genealogist" (g2g) where you need to request the badge and fulfill the requirements to be in the PGM project. ::Or, if you're already a member of the PGM project, just answer the current "PGM Beyond" g2g post.

Most of Ansel's ancestral families (including Bartlett, Besse, Carver, Hallett, Hatch, Hunter, Linnell, Lombard, Lovell, Morey, Parker, Randall, Rawlins, Swift) were early residents of Marshfield and Scituate, then migrated to Cape Cod, from Wareham to Barnstaple, from Sandwich to Falmouth.

[[Category:Puritan Great Migration Project]] = PGM Editing Guidance= The Puritan Great Migration Project's goal is to present factually accurate profiles with well-sourced biographies. As the project currently manages over 7,500 profiles, this is a major undertaking. To avoid confusion, style disagreements, etc., we ask our members to try and be consistent when editing PGM profiles. Our guidance for each section and field on PGM's profiles is outlined below. As always, when in doubt, please ask. You'll usually get a very quick response if you post on our Google Group, Discord server and comments on project-managed profiles. =Profile Editing Guidance= ==Data Fields== The information found in data fields should match the information found in the biography, which should be proven using quality, reliable sources. The following may help answer some questions concerning data fields. === Last Name at Birth (LNAB) === Especially on these older profiles, determining LNAB can be challenging due to spelling variations even during a person's lifetime. Remember that on Wikitree, we use their conventions not ours; in general, we use the spelling as it was at the time of the person's birth. How do we find this? '''General WikiTree guidelines for [[Help:Name_Fields#Spelling_conventions|spelling conventions]] include:''' * If there are any contemporary written documents, the spelling from those documents should be used. In particular, the spelling that appears in a birth record should be used for the Last Name at Birth unless there are other documents from, at, or near the time of birth that inform us about a more common or correct spelling. * The spelling used by descendants is not relevant unless there are no contemporary written documents. '''PGM adds the following:''' * First look for actual parish baptism/birth records (preferably images, but when lacking images, reliable quality transcriptions of records can be used. Hereafter called “records”.) However, “other documents from, at, or near the time of birth that inform us about a more common or correct spelling” can also be used. Examples: a parents marriage “record,” a more frequent spelling used on baptism/birth “records” for other siblings, or town and colony "records." * If neither contemporary images or transcriptions are found, the PGM project follows the last name used by Anderson in the Great Migration Series or a later peer-reviewed source such as NEHGS or TAG. * In the absence of both, birth contemporary “records” and an Anderson article, use the spelling on a document from later in the person's life in which the party signed his/her name, such as a deed or will. If the person only signed by mark, use the most commonly documented spelling as found in deeds, wills, town records etc. === Other Last Names (OLN) === PGM does NOT include wrong surnames in the Other Last Names data field. OLN is reserved for legitimate aliases or alternative spellings. Sometimes WikiTree genealogists want to list wrong surnames in the OLN field so the name will show up in the search engine, hoping to slow down creation of duplicate profiles. PGM has decided not to follow this practice. The pros and cons of OLN usage has been fully discussed within the project and the conclusion has been drawn that adding inaccurate information to the data field is counterproductive to the project. === Prefix === See the following WikiTree guidance on Prefixes: [https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Name_Fields#Prefix Prefix] === Suffix === See the following WikiTree guidance on Prefixes: [https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Name_Fields#Suffix Suffix] ===Dates=== If the exact year of an event is known (but the day or month are not known) the date is still marked as "exact." The marriage end date field is only used in cases where an end date can be clearly documented, such as by divorce or a known date of death. === Location Names === We use contemporaneous place names for birth, death and marriage date fields. Here is a list of the Colonies/Provinces that were applicable for PGM immigrants: * Plymouth Colony: 1620 - 1690; after that, part of Province of Massachusetts Bay * Massachusetts Bay Colony: 1628 - 1690; after that, part of Province of Massachusetts Bay * Province of Massachusetts Bay: 1691 - 1776 * Connecticut Colony: 1636 - 1776 * Saybrook Colony: 1635 - 1644; after that, part of Connecticut Colony * New Haven Colony: 1637 - 1662; after that, part of Connecticut Colony * Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations: 1636 - 1776 * Province of New Hampshire: 1629 - 1776 * Province of Maine: 1622 - 1652 * Maine is part of Massachusetts Bay Colony: 1652-1690 * Maine is part of Province of Massachusetts Bay: 1691-1776 * Maine is District of Maine, Massachusetts: 1776-1820 * Maine is the state of Maine after 1820 * Province of New York: 1664 - 1776 =Biography Section= Make sure biographies and data fields match each other and that the data from both are proven through the most accurate, high quality, nonspeculative, reliable sources possible. Data fields rely on well researched and properly sourced biographies so they can contain the most accurate information possible. '''Use of AutoBio is not recommended for PGM profiles.''' Autobio can accidentally delete important information, pull in unvetted information from other profiles, and its default settings are not compatible with the preferred PGM format. For limited use in generating drafts for portions of the bio (such as the children's list), or completely empty profiles please see: [[Space:PGM_Editing_Guidance_-_Autobio_(Limited_Use)|PGM Editing Guidance - Autobio (Limited Use)]] == Narrative Guidance== The goal of a good biography is to focus on the person, not the research. A good biography tells a life story, not a researcher's path of discovery. As per the project's goals and objectives, "The '''minimum''' information each profile should contain to be considered '''complete''' is the following: name at birth, immigration date, birth/baptism date and place, parents' names, death/burial date and place, marriage (spouse/s, dates, locations), and children." However, recognizing that not all members of this project have the same level of interest or availability, any work that gets closer to the project's goals and objectives, but doesn't quite meet them, is still helpful and appreciated. To that end, the following are guidelines to help each research get closer. A profile that is easily readable, devoid of duplicative data and useless information (such as REF ID numbers generated by uploaded GEDCOMs), and conveys a brief chronological history of the individual is desired. Suggested subheadings include: * Disputed Origins * Biography :* List of children :* Last will and testament === Disputed Origins (or Spouse, or Relations, etc.) === ''Updated 18 October 2023''' For data and conclusions ''not'' supported by Anderson's Great Migration series (or a later approved source), it is the policy of the Puritan Great Migration project to: * '''Collaborate''' with profile managers and other interested Wikitreers through profile comments and/or g2g to alert others of changes and seek additional information. * '''Detach''' the disputed relatives from the profile. * Add a '''{{Disputed Parents}}''' or '''{{Disputed Spouse}}''' [[Help:Research_Note_Boxes| Research Note Box (RNB)]] above the Puritan Great Migration Project Box template of the affected profile. ** '''Summarize''' the issue. Place the details under ==Research Notes== in a section above Sources. There will be a link in the RNB to the Research Notes section. ''Please use the standard heading format'' ==Research Notes== ''or the link will not work.'' ** '''[[Help:Adding_Links#Links_to_Other_Profiles|Wikilink]]''' to the disputed relatives' profiles within the Research Notes text. ** Provide '''inline references (footnotes)''' and additional '''sources''' to relevant research. ** Link any related '''G2G question(s)''' within the text (sometimes the automatic link becomes lost when profiles are merged). ** '''Wikilink''' and '''add Research Notes''' to the disconnected profile(s). :[[Gilman-2#Disputed_Origins|Here's an example profile]].
:Help pages for the individual RNB templates can be found here: *[[Template:Disputed_Parents |Disputed Parents]] *[[Template:Disputed_Spouse|Disputed Spouse]] === Biography === ==== Stickers ==== Stickers belong immediately below the Biography heading. PGM project follows the Sticker Help Guidelines found [https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Stickers here]. Any Sticker that is redundant is subject to being removed by the profile managers and/or PGM project members. In particular, Immigration Stickers are considered redundant (a duplication of the Puritan Great Migration project box) and will be deleted. ==== Biography text ==== This section describes the life of the person. The biography is typically organized in a narrative style and in a chronological manner. Bullet points included in the narrative are acceptable. If you find "copy/pastes" of multiple paragraphs of text -- whether it's from copyrighted work (like Anderson's ''Great Migration'' series), or even public-domain text (such as late 19th century genealogies freely available via Google docs or some other online archive) -- please replace such text with a summary of key points and ''link'' to the source where you can. Short quotes are fine; just be sure to add an inline reference (footnote), referencing the original. Read more about Wikitree's policy on [[Copying_Text|Copying Text]]. '''Old Style/New Style - Double Dating''' On WikiTree, as well as in the PGM project, we use the practice of double dating where both the old style and the new style year are given in a document. The new style (larger number) date is recorded in the data field of a profile and the double date is provided in the narrative biography. [[Unknown-374819|Here's an example]] Note the death date. Broadly speaking, double-dating ceased January 1, 1752; subsequent to that date, January 1 was recognized as the beginning of a new year. For a full historical discussion on the Julian vs. Gregorian calendars and an explanation of additional rules, see [[Space:Dates%2C_Calendars_and_Genealogy|Dates, Calendars and Genealogy]]. ==== List of Children ==== For those PGM profiles where the individual had children, use the heading Children, and then list the children in numbered order (if order of birth known) or non-numbered bullets (if order of birth is not known) in their own subsection, usually at the bottom of the narrative (above Sources, and above Research Notes if present). Link to children's profiles if they have a profile. Provide basic vitals (b, m, d), but not too much detail (removed to Connecticut in 1665 and had the following children...). Additional detail goes on the child's profile, if they have one. Rationale for including list of children with basic vitals on parent profiles: * We typically follow Anderson's practice (and he does this); * Ability to visually check list of documented children against attached profiles; * Allows placement of citations that support the link between parents and child; * Supports ability to print profile page with basic family information. ==== Last Will & Testament (or Probate) ==== Because such documents often include very important family-relationship information, these can be extremely valuable. It is not necessary to transcribe the entire text of a will (or inventory, or division of real estate); simply highlight the particulars. When the estate details are long, consider moving them to a separate free-space page and linking to that page from the biography. [[Rice-53#Will|Here's an example]]. ===Research Notes Section=== All research notes should be signed and dated by the person entering them. This is done by placing ~~~~ at the end of the research note. === Timeline Section (NOTE: Usage is Discouraged / Not recommended) === Usage of a timeline section is discouraged/not recommended. See [https://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=Space:Puritan_Great_Migration_Editing_Guidance#Other_Considerations Other Considerations]. If a timeline is thought to be necessary in addition to the biography, please abide by the following: * Use asterisks for each fact * Include only information about the person profiled * Each item in the timeline must be documented and sourced in the biography narrative * Do not include facts about children, grandchildren, siblings, spouses or parents * Be brief; don't include every fact A longer timeline can always be done on a Free-Space page and linked in the profile. === Siblings Section (Note: Not used)=== PGM profiles do not include a separate section on siblings; this information belongs on the parents' profiles. A brief description of the family structure (i.e. John Smith was the second son), and mention of the siblings can be included in the narrative. ===Sources Section === Format like this: :::== Sources == ::: ::: :::See also: :::* [list here any general sources ''not'' included in any inline references (footnotes).] Many profiles still have either no sources or very poor sources. Find and add better ones. [[Footnotes|Learn how to use]] the '''......''' tags to insert inline references (footnotes). to a profile: that makes it very clear ''which'' information is supported by ''which'' sources, especially since the profile may be edited later by others. Learn the WikiTree markup for adding the same source additional times to the same profile (see advanced sourcing toward the bottom of the "Learn how to use" page). '''The use of Span tags to cite multiple pages from the same source is discouraged on PGM profiles.''' Our main source of information for PGM profiles is Robert Charles Anderson's ''Great Migration'' series. When there is a conflict about facts on a given profile page, ''including Last Name at Birth'', we follow Anderson's conclusions (and spelling of last name) unless there has been more recently published research or the location of original records from the time period that corrects or adds to Anderson. ''Please do NOT transcribe onto profiles the full text of Anderson's work. The GM series is copyrighted; copy/pasting is therefore a copyright violation.'' Please [https://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=Space:Puritan_Great_Migration_Sources read our sources page] for a range of sources that the project is using to support our efforts. If the source is found in an image, rather than post the image of the source, please consider adding a link if the source image is available online. It is always preferable to add and cite relevant sources, rather than posting images to the profile pages. As a reminder, use of any image must comply with the applicable copyright law and/or licensing agreement. ===Acknowledgements Section === We follow the style guide on [[Acknowledgements|Acknowledgements]]. We do not acknowledge uploaders of profiles. We do not retain a list of GEDCOM uploads. This information is tracked under the Changes tab. =Merging Duplicates = Please review WikiTree's [[Help:Duplicates|Help: Duplicates]] and [[Help:Merging| Help: Merging]] pages for more information regarding merging duplicates. Project members working from Anderson's ''Great Migration'' series often find it necessary to merge duplicates of the immigrating ancestor, his or her spouse, their children (sometimes), and anyone "up the line" (parents, grandparents, etc.). Please merge duplicate profiles "down the line" (children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, etc.) as well. Even just cleaning up your own line of descent from your own ancestor(s) is helpful! When proposing a merge, always make sure that it will go in the correct direction and, if two names are involved, or the same name spelled differently, request that PPP be placed on the target profile. After merging profiles, please clean the profile's biography and sources by retaining the most accurate, reliable sources. Merged profiles often contain GEDCOM 'garbage' and the WikiTree [[Help:GEDCOM-Created_Biographies|Help: GEDCOM-Created Biographies]] can provide guidance in that area. = Other Considerations = '''Timeline Presentation of Facts is Not Recommended''' Timeline sections on PGM profiles are not recommended, and their use is discouraged. The PGM project's preference is a narrative-based biography, with inline source links to reliable sources. Adding a timeline results in a duplication of information, which can be difficult to maintain accurately when new information becomes available. '''Scroll Boxes Not Recommended''' Scroll Boxes on PGM profiles are not recommended and discouraged from use. On occasion, a limited number of PGM profiles may contain scroll boxes, if the material contained in them cannot be consolidated into the biography or if the material is essential but lengthy. '''Centering Text on a Page Not Recommended''' Centering is not recommended for styling purposes, e.g. it shouldn't be used just because you like the look of centered headlines or information. It can be used when you want to properly transcribe the original appearance of something like a headstone. '''Background Images / Wall paper''' Throughout WikiTree, you may see examples of profiles that use an image as background or "wallpaper." [[Help:Background_Images|Wallpaper]] is a matter of taste. One profile manager may be for it; another one against it. Background can also be very difficult for members with vision challenges. So please be thoughtful about adding backgrounds, and don't take it personally if someone removes a background image. Please do not use the PGM graphic for background images. '''Tables Not Recommended''' We discourage the use of tables as these also are difficult for less experienced or technically advanced members to edit. If a table is important for content display, please use a linked [https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Free-Space_Profile Free Space Page].

Thanks! == Reliable Sources == === Great Migration Series (NEHGS) === Robert Charles Anderson's ''Great Migration'' series, published by the New England Historic Genealogical Society between 1995 and 2011 (so far), covers New England immigrants between 1620 and 1635 (so far) with the intent to extend to 1640.

The project's goal is to compile authoritative and documented sketches of more than 35,000 marriages from this time period. The Great Migration Study Project will eventually treat all immigrants who came to New England through 1640. The Early New England Families Study Project will focus on individuals who emigrated in 1641 or later, but our sketches will be grouped by year of marriage rather than immigration.

It contains more than 880,000 linked family records, with lineages from throughout the world, including colonial America, the British Isles, Switzerland, and Germany. Many of these lineages extend back to nobility and renowned historical figures. In fact, one of the things the Millennium File focuses on is linking to European nobility and royalty." * Family Data Collections, i.e. Births, Deaths, Individual Records, [Edmund West, compiler] on Ancestry.com * International Genealogical Index from familysearch.org "can" contain legitimately sourced records but about half of the records are "...names submitted to the Church of Jesus Christ for which no historical record collection source is known..." so the true original source must be found, IGI by itself is not acceptable. '''Family Genealogies and Local Histories:''' Additionally, it was very popular in the late 1800s and early 1900s to publish family genealogies and local histories, including a genealogy section. These are much like the online trees of today-- their quality varies depending on the extent to which they cite their sources. Some contain accurate information-- especially about the people living within the last 50 years prior to the publication date; but many have been subsequently proven to be incomplete, inaccurate, or in a few rare cases, [[:Category:Frauds_and_Fabrications|downright fraudulent]]. Absent better sources, these old published genealogies can be cited or included under "See also:". A goal of the PGM project, however, is to find more original documentation, closer to the time of the event being cited. '''Four things in these early publications that should be treated with great skepticism and need to be researched further: 1) Claims of specific English origins and parents 2) Coats of arms 3) Arrival dates and 4) Names of ships they supposedly arrived on. ''' : '''Related:''' *'''Ancestry.com's database "North America, Family Histories 1500-2000,"''' is described as: "This collection contains genealogical research privately published in nearly one thousand family history books." Researchers should use this as a finding aid, not as a source on PGM or pre-1700 profiles. However, a clue may be found in most Ancestry.com references that cite it; namely, there should be included the family history that is being referenced; e.g., "Descendants of Joe Schmoe..." Unfortunately, no page numbers are provided, so it is up to the researcher to find the reference and locate within it, what the genealogy has to say about the profiled person, determine if it adds value, and if so, cite ''that.'' Please do not list "North America, Family Histories 1500-2000" as either a cited source or even under "See also." *'''Ancestry.com's database "Passenger and Immigration Lists Index, 1500s-1900s"''' Is an index of names of immigrants and arrival dates found in published sources. The quality of these sources varies considerably, and many have incorporated unreliable information from family and local histories. PGM Profiles instead should reference the arrival information in the ''Great Migration Series'' or ''Great Migration Directory.'' === A Note about Find-a-Grave === Find-a-Grave is a user-contributed site, and as such is generally excluded from the list of ''reliable'' sources. Please do not make changes to a profile's vitals, including identification of relations, based solely on information transcribed on a Find-a-Grave profile. The exception is that if the Find-a-Grave profile contains a photo of a ''contemporaneous'' gravestone (i.e., a gravestone created and placed at the time of the person's death) and includes information about the person's death, you can cite the Find-a-Grave profile for the death information, and for other information that appears on the gravestone. Please understand, though, that even gravestones may contain erroneous information. === Lewis Publishing and similar books === Books by Lewis Publishing Co.; Lewis Historical Publishing Co.; Cutter, William Richard (editor) eg. Example Titles: ''Historic homes and places and genealogical and personal memoirs relating to the families of Middlesex County, Massachusetts.'' ''Genealogical and Family History of... (lots of places)'' Partial lists at [https://archive.org/search.php?query=publisher%3A%22New+York%2C+Lewis+historical+publishing+company%22 at Archive.org] and [http://onlinebooks.library.upenn.edu/webbin/book/lookupname?key=Lewis%20Publishing%20Company Online Books Page]. These and similar books all over the country are "pay to see your name in print" books. The genealogical sections of these books were written and placed in the books by subscription. Prominent citizens were approached and submitted biographies and money to print their biographies. At least one person paid $375 for a biography with a photo of himself. The autobiographies of the paying person, are no doubt accurate enough, although sometimes exaggerated. They also submitted pedigree information. Information on parents and grandparents that the person knew is also probably accurate, if slightly exaggerated. But... some of the pedigrees state as facts what is pure speculation. Some of the pedigrees within one volume will contradict each other. They are frequently inaccurate. The books are readily available online, so they are an easy starting place, but it is absolutely necessary to double-check every fact and every pedigree with better (closer to primary) sourcing. The historical sections were written by legitimate historians. *'''If you have a reliable source which you would like to see added to this list please leave a citation in the comments section, and project leadership will add it after doing a review.'''

== Disputed Origins == "He is believed by many to have come from Devonshire, and to have been a son of [[Adams-15214|Robert Adams]] and [[Sharlon-5|Elizabeth Sharlon]] or Sharland, connected with the Ap Adam pedigree, and through that connection to have been a cousin of Henry Adams of Braintree (afterward Quincy, Mass.), the ancestor of the presidents, John and John Quincy Adams. This famous Welsh pedigree, beginning with Ap Adam in the time of Edward the First, about the close of the 13th century, and changing to the name of Adams in the eighth generation, runs through thirteen generations down to Nicholas, who married and had no issue. To this pedigree has been appended by a later hand, '''according to competent judges''', a brother of Nicholas, named John, who married Margaret Squier, and had Richard, who married and had Robert, the father of Robert of Newbury. '''There is no evidence whatever to sustain this pleasing belief. His origin is not positively known.'''Andrew Adams, [http://freepages.folklore.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~ankeny/Robert%20of%20Newbury/Robert%20Capture.pdf ''A Genealogical History of Robert Adams and His Descendants''] (1900); [http://www.genealogy.com/ftm/m/a/n/Richard-A-Manion/WEBSITE-0001/UHP-0087.html Richard A Manion Family Tree]; Phillips Library at the Peabody Essex Museum "Robert Adams, tailor, in Salem, 1638, by one tradition came from Devonshire, by another of equal value was from Holderness, County of York.""Dr. James Savage, ''Genealogical Dictionary of all the earliest or first-comers in New England'' According to Joshua Coffin, the historian of Newbury (1845), Robert Adams "was two or three years in Ipswich, and had before coming over, two children, John and Joanna, and at Salem, Abraham, born 1639; he removed to Newbury 1640, and had Isaac, 1648, and youngest Archelaus." He is believed to have resided within a few rods of the spot where his descendants, Col. Daniel Adams and Robert Adams, afterward lived. Mr. Coffin was mistaken in naming Archelaus among his sons. The Archelaus who has been classed as such, was a son of Lieut. John Adams, who was a son of "William of Ipswich." That he was equally''' mistaken in assuming that Robert Adams came from Devonshire,''' there is fair ground for belief. "If coming from Holderness it is not impossible that he was of Scotch origin and blood. There is a tradition among some of the descendants that he was a Scotchman."{{citation needed}} Unproved possible Baptism 22 DEC 1602, Ottery St. Mary, Co. Devonshire, England In the parochial records of baptisms at Ottery St. Mary, Devonshire, I [who is "I"?] found the following: "1602 - December - Robert Adams the sone of Peter Adams was baptised the xxii th day". This would agree with the probable date of his birth. Savage says he died Oct. 12, 1682, aged 80 years.Source: [[#S54]] Page: v. 59; July 1905; p. 322 == Biography == Robert married Eleanor (possibly Wilmot) in England and they emigrated to Massachusetts with their children. It is said in some secondary sources that they arrived in 1635, settling first in Ipswich; then Salem 1638-39; and moved to Newbury in 1640 where they acquired a large farm and valuable property. Anderson in the Great Migration Directory,https://archive.org/details/earlyinhabitants13hamm/page/252 p. 2 and Savage's Genealogical DictionarySavage, James. ''A Genealogical Dictionary of the First Settlers of New England Showing Three Generations of Those Who Came Before May, 1692. Vol. I-IV.'' (Boston, MA, USA: 1860-1862). set their arrival in 1638 settling first in Salem. The Ipswich Land records should be checked for definitive proof, but ''Early inhabitants of Ipswich, Mass. 1633-1700''Hammatt, Abraham. Early Inhabitants of Ipswich, Mass. 1633-1700 (Ipswich, Mass. : Antiquarian Papers Press 1880.) [https://archive.org/details/earlyinhabitants13hamm/page/6 p. 9] [https://archive.org/details/earlyinhabitants13hamm/page/252 p. 128] has a short sketch on Robert Addams, "an inhabitant of Ipswich in 1635, when he had a house lot granted him "in town, near ye river side." He probably removed from Ipswich soon afterwards." and this statement about Thomas Hardye: "In 1636 he had a house lot near the river adjoining Robert Adams and Thomas Howlett." They had at least ten children. They were members of the First Congregational Church. However, "in 1658, Robert Adams, of Newbury, was indicted for attending a friends' [Quaker] meeting, in Salem, at the house of Nicholas Phelps, to hear William Brend and William Leddra." After Eleanor passed away, Robert married Sarah Glover on February 6, 1678 in Newbury, Essex, Massachusetts. Robert was a farmer with many estates in the area. The book, ''Robert Adams of Newbury, MA'' claims he was a tailor by trade. According to another article, Robert came to America as a rich man who invested in property and was never a tailor. His move to Newbury is recorded in a deed dated 22 May 1651 from Edmond Greenleafe wherein Robert received, "his farm in Newbury over the Litle River with all the house, barne, Hovills, fences, timber & p'veleges of commons, profitts and hereditaments therunto belonging, with both uplands and meadows, containing about 150 acres of upland, also 50 acres of meadow....." The home was on a bend of road still known as Hay Street, a mile and a half west of Newbury. His name still appears with other first settlers on a monument at Newbury's Old Town common. Sargent Abraham seems to have helped his father in the care of his widespread estate.Robert gave him a large farm in Newbury and had the pleasant habit of providing farms for sons and grandsons. Maps and records of 32 Adams farms and homesteads within a radius of 14 miles of the Highfields exsists on records for the area. He died 12 October 1682 aged 81 years. His will was probated 27 November 1682. === Wife's Uncertain Maiden Name === According to Andrew Adams, ''A Genealogical History of Robert Adams of Newbury, Mass. and His Descendants 1635-1900'', the maiden name of Robert Adams '''may have been''' Wilmot. Nothing further is known of her origin. from SAVAGE: "ROBERT, Salem 1638, a tailor, by one tradit. brot. from DeFonsh. by ano. prob. of equal value, from the far distant Holderness in Co.

D. 1635, bringing with him his wife Eleanor (Wilmot?) and his first two children. He was a tailor by trade, resided in Salem in 1638-9 and removed to Newbury in 1640, where he acquired a large farm and valuable property, and died October 12, 1682, aged 81 years. His will was made at Newbury, March 7, 1680-1, and probated Nov. 27, 1682. His wife Eleanor died June 12, 1677, and he married 2nd, Feb. 6, 1678, Sarah (Glover) Short, the widow of Henry Short. She died in Newbury, Oct. 24, 1697. from NEHGR Vol. 11, p. 1 (Jan 1857) "Descendants of Robert Adams" by Joshua Coffin ROBERT ADAMS was, according to uniform tradition, a native of Devonshire, England. The Adams family in that County claims, '''according to Burke's Commoners, to be lineally descended "from John Ap Adam of Charlton Adam in Somersetshire,''' who married Elizabeth, daughter and heiress to John Lord Gourney of Beverston and Tidenham, County of Gloucester, and who was summoned to Parliament, as a Baron of the Realm, from 1296 to 1307. After residing for several generations at Charlton they subsequently removed to Devonshire." From the above mentioned John Ap Adam descended Richard Adams, who married Margaret, a daughter of ___ Armager. This Richard had two sons, viz. Robert, who married Elizabeth Shirland, and William, who married a daughter of ___ ___, Barrington. Henry, one of the sons of William, came to New England in 1630, and died in Braintree in 1646. Henry was the ancestor of John Adams, the second President of the United States. Robert and Elizabeth Adams had a son Robert, who is supposed [This supposition, if not well founded, does not affect the following pedigree, as far as the descendants of Robert Adams are concerned -- Editor], but not certainly known, to be the Robert Adams who came to Ipswich, New England, in 1635, with his wife Eleanor, thence to Salem as early as 1638, and finally settled in Newbury in 1640, on land still [i.e., in 1857] in possession of his descendants of the same name. He died, 12 Oct 1682, aged 81. Eleanor his widow [first wife], died, 12 Jun 1677. His second wife, Sara, widow of Henry Short, and whose maiden name was Glover, he married 6 Feb 1678. She died 24 Oct 1697. from Cutter's NEW ENGLAND FAMILIES: Robert Adams, immigrant ancestor of this branch of the family in America, was born in England in''' 1602'''. He came first to Ipswich, MA in 1635, with his wife and two children. He was a tailor by trade and resided in Salem, MA in 1638/39. He removed to Newbury in 1640, where he acquired a large farm and valuable property. He is believed by some to have come from Devonshire, England, and by others from Holderness, county York, England. There is a tradition, also, that he was of Scotch origin. The large, hand-made shears which he brought from England, and which he used in his trade, are now [1913] owned by Stephen P. Hale, of Newbury, a descendant. His will was dated 7 Mar 1680/81, proved 27 Nov 1682. He died 12 Oct 1682, aged eighty-one. He married (first) Eleanor Wilmot, who died 12 June 1677.

Will: 7 MAR 1679/80 Newbury, Newburyport, Essex, MA U. S. A. Note: At the time of his will he was living with his second wife, who was the widow of another early settler. He wishes the agreement made with her at the time of marriage carried out: - that she shall enjoy the annuity left her by her former husband without let or hinderance, as she always has done. He gives her certain rights in the house, giving her the exclusive right to the parlor for one year; also gives her all the money he leaves and she not to be accountable for it to anyone, also the great chest and the highest chair in the room where we live but these are to be restored at her death, or if she marries again, these go to a granddaughter. To son Jacob, he gives the house he lives in and land adjoining as now fenced, also salt marsh. To the three sons of my son Abraham, Robert, Abraham and Isaac, each a gun and to each of the two oldest a sword. They were at the time 2, 4, and six years old. He gives bequests to sons John and Isaac and an unmarried daughter. To each of his three married daughters, a cow and to one of them in addition, "my pewtr tankard and a pewter bowl." To Mary, daughter of son Abraham, a box with lock and key and six diaper napkins. All the rest of his effects go to his son Abraham, and after his death go to his oldest son Robert to be joint executors, son Abraham to have full power to act until his son be of age (he was six at date.) Care was taken that if this grandson [Robert] came into possession before the death of his mother she should not be debarred of her just rights (meaning dower, it is presumed) and also when coming into possession is to give his two brothers £20 each. He closed his will by appointing his "Loving friends" John Woodbridge and Nicholas Noyes, Overseers. His estate was appraised at £916 17s. Of this his real estate consisting of house, barn and orchard, 80 acres of upland, 80 acres of meadow and freehold was valued at £600: live stock at £90; furniture at £222 17s, which is rather out of proportion, but probably good furniture was disproportionately high and scarce and land plenty. === Will === Abstract of the Will of Robert Adams of Newbury: To be buried according to the disposing of Executors. Loving wife Sarah confirmed in the agreement I made with her before marriage, and having allowed her the annuity belonging to her by the will of her former husband [Henry Short] which she hath reserved to her own proper use, I do allow it to her, and her right not to be questioned; also I give her my great chest, and the highest chair in the room wherein we live; both which she is to restore again at her death, or if she shall marry again; also all the money I leave, and not to be accountable to any one; to live and dwell in the house, enjoying the parlor wholly for one year.

[[Category:Reverend Joseph Hull's Company]][[Category: Mary Gould, sailed Mar 1635]] '''Reverend Joseph Hull's Company'''
For a grouping of associated person profiles, see [[:Category:Reverend Joseph Hull's Company]] * '''See also:''' [[Project:Puritan Great Migration]] The following is paraphrased from The Exodus of Reverend Joseph Hull at http://www.metacirque.com/laurencecook/genes/bicknell/bicknell3.html.

The Reverend Joseph Hull was born at Crewkerne, Somerset in 1594 to Thomas Hull and Joanna Peson Hull. He graduated from St. Mary Hall, Oxford in 1614. He was ordained by the Bishop of Exeter in 1619, serving as the teacher, curate and minister of Colyton, Devonshire for three years. He was appointed Rector for North Leigh, Devonshire in 1621 where he served until 1632. The first record of Hull's conflict with the Church of England is his association with the Reverend John Wareham who was accused of stating that certain church practices were undesirable. He was suspended from his parish and left the diocese to settle at St. Sidwell's in Exeter on November 13, 1627. Hull had probably already gathered at least part of his company of emigrants, which included the Bicknells, the Lovells (probably related to Zachary's wife, Agnis Lovell), and Richard Porter (whose yet to be born daughter, Mary, would wed Zachary's son John) and was preparing, or prepared, to leave for New England when he was cited for illegal preaching in January 1635.

The following is quoted from Kingman, Bradford, [https://ia802205.us.archive.org/5/items/descendantsofhen00king/descendantsofhen00king.pdf ''Descendants of Henry Kingman'', page 1]. (Boston, MA: David Clapp & Son, 1912).

At the end of forty-six days on the ocean and an uneventful passage, they sailed into Massachusetts Bay on the sixth of May, 1635, leaving the settlement of Hull on the left, and came to an anchorage before Governor Winthrop's “little village” of Boston, where they remained until July 24, waiting permission of the General Court to locate. After reconnoitering for some time they decided Wessaguscus was their best location. They immediately passed in among the numerous islands in the bay and entered Fore River, and came to anchor about four miles from the mouth of the same.

Wessaguscus was part of the Massachusetts Bay Colony and in 1635 with the addition of 100 families under the leadership of Joseph Hull the name was changed to Weymouth.[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weymouth,_Massachusetts Weymouth, MA, on Wikipedia] In 1870 Mr. H. G. Somerby discovered a list of the Hull passengers and sent it to Mr. William L. Appleton of Boston, with the following letter:

LONDON, September, 1870. My DEAR MR. APPLETON: - Amongst a bundle of miscellaneous manuscripts just turned up in the Public Record Officer I find with other documents relating to New England, the following list of passengers which I have the pleasure of sending to you for publication in the Register. I remain, yours very truly, H. G. SOMERBY.

Mr. Appleton's list was published in the ''New England Historical and Genealogical Register'',New England Historical and Genealogical Register, Vol. XXV, pages 13, 14 and 15, January, 1871 That list is also given in Hotten's ''Original Lists of Persons of Quality''Hotten's ''Original Lists of Persons of Quality 1600-1700'' pages 283-286

American presidents descend from George Jacobs, Susannah Martin, and John Procter. Nathan Hale was John Hale’s grandson. Israel ‘Don’t Fire Until You See the Whites of Their Eyes’ Putnam was the cousin of Ann Putnam. Oliver Wendell Holmes and Louisa May Alcott descended from Samuel Sewall; Clara Barton from the Townes; Walt Disney from Burroughs.

The Nurse family includes Lucille Ball...”Schiff, Stacy. The Witches (pp. 414-415). Little, Brown and Company. Kindle Edition. We list here some of the victims of the ''Witchcraft Delusion'' of 1692 in Salem, Massachusetts Bay and attempt to show their various roles. This is not so easy. Many others have attempted to do this in the more than 300 years elapsed; all are unsuccessful. A primary cause is lost records, some of them undoubtedly intentionally destroyed. There are many errors; most of them probably mistakes, but some also intentional. Other obstacles include dual or changed roles. For example, many early accusers were later accused themselves and imprisoned. Other early collaborators became vigorous protestors. It is estimated that several thousand persons suffered during this dark time; we will never know how many. A majority of living Americans are descendants. The list is, and, therefore, will remain incomplete. A larger alphabetical listing may be found here, [https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:Salem_Witch_Trials Category: Salem Witch Trials]. We invite you to visit the profiles, correct the errors, improve them, and add your own discoveries.

[[Category: Blinman Party]] For profiles, see [[:Category:Blinman Party|the category for the Blinman Party]] == The Blinman Party == The Blinman Party was a group of immigrants who came to New England in 1640 with Rev. Richard Blinman. The party has also been called the Welsh Company because Rev. Blinman was from Chepstow, Wales and it has been thought (probably incorrectly) that most of the members of the Party also came from Wales. === Richard Blinman Prior to Immigration === Richard Blinman was baptized in Chepstow, Monmouthshire, Wales on February 2, 1608/9. He matriculated at New Inn Hall at Oxford in April 1635 and received his Bachelor of Art's degree on January 19, 1635/6. After graduating, Blinman was admitted as curate of Ubley, Somerset in June 1636 and ordained as a minister at Wells, Somerset in September 1636. By 1639 he had been "put out" from whatever church he had been at and was preaching at various locations along the English-Welsh border, without having a permanent position. In March 1639, Blinman preached in Brampton Bryan, Hertfordshire. In September 1639, he was in Holt, Denbighshire (about 68 miles north of Brampton Bryan, Hertfordshire), with [https://biography.wales/article/s1-THOM-OLI-1598 Oliver Thomas], who allegedly preached a seditious sermon. Blinman was in Walcot, Shropshire (about 50 miles southeast of Holt) shortly thereafter, but apparently stayed only briefly, and was gone from there by the end of November 1639. Many secondary sources say that Blinman was minister at Chepstow prior to emigrating. According to the 1955 ''Chepstow Parish Records'', however, Abraham Drew was the vicar of Chepstow from 1609 until he died in 1646, which means that Blinman could not have been the minister there prior to emigrating. It thus appears most probable that, after being ordained in 1636 and before appearing in Hertfordshire in 1639, Blinman was minister at a different church in the area or perhaps had a subordinate or informal role at Chepstow. === The Blinman Party's Immigration and Brief Residency in Green's Harbor === By early 1640, Blinman had apparently decided to immigrate to New England. In a letter to her son dated February 28, 1639/40, Lady Brillina Harley reported that "Mr. Blineman is goone into NweIngland." Based on surrounding evidence and the fact that voyages to New England were generally not made in the winter months, the words "is goone" should be interpreted as "is going" rather than "has gone." According to the history of the Church of Marshfield written by Nathaniel Morten in the 1680s and included in Volume I of the Plymouth Church records, Blinman's immigration to New England was induced by Plymouth governor Edward Winslow, who "procured several Welsh Gentlemen of Good note thither with mr. Blinman a Godly able Minnester." As discussed below, however, research has shown that the members of the party who accompanied Blinman to New England were not all, or perhaps even predominantly, Welsh, but came from various locations near the Welsh-English border. The Blinman Party immigrated in the spring or early summer of 1640 and were settled in Green's Harbor by Gov. Winslow. The first evidence of their presence in New England is a letter dated October 10, 1640 by Gov. Winslow, written from his house, Careswell, in Green's Harbor, to John Winthrop in Boston that includes the postscript: "Mr. Blindman salutes you." That letter was followed by a letter dated January 28, 1640/1 by Gov. Winslow from Careswell to John Winthrop at Boston in which he blamed his failure to visit, in part, on being occupied by "the many businesses I have had (& the more in regard to Mr. Blinman's friends that are come to live with us, & the streightnes of place to receive them)." At a General Court held at Plymouth on March 2, 1640/1, Blinman and five other men believed to have immigrated with him (Hugh Prichard, [[Bruen-24|Obadiah Bruen]], John Sadler, [[Caulkins-22|Hugh Calkin]] and [[Tibbot-32|Walter TIbbot]]) were propounded to be made free at the next Court. Many of the people who were already living in Green's Harbor apparently preferred the way their religious services had been conducted over Rev. Blinman's style. Lechford reported in his 1642 ''Plain Dealing'', that Rev. Blinman had a "broyle" with William Thomas of Green's Harbor, "where master Blindman went by the worst" and that Rev. John Wilson of Boston had been sent to try to resolve the dispute. Wilson's efforts were apparent to no avail. William Hubbard, in his 1682 ''A General History of New England'' used a parable from the Bible to describe the conflict, stating "they agreed no better than the piece of new cloth in the old garment, making a rent so bad it could never be made up again." The outcome of the conflict was that, by the spring of 1642, the Blinman Party removed to Cape Ann in the Massachusetts Bay Colony. John Winthrop Sr. summarized the Blinman Party's immigration, brief stay in Green's Harbor and removal to Cape Ann in a journal entry in May 1642: :One Mr Blinman, a minister in Wales, a godly and able man, came over with some friends of his, and being invited to Green's Harbor, near Plymouth, they went thither, but ere the year was expired there fell out some difference among them, which by no means could be reconciled, so that they agreed to part, and he came with his company and sat down at Cape Anne, which at this court was established to be a plantation, and called Gloucester. === Residency in Cape Ann/Gloucester; Removal of the Cape Ann Company === Cape Ann was just a small, sparsely-populated, fishing station before the Blinman Party arrived. Concurrent with the arrival of the Blinman Party in 1642 (and no doubt as a result thereof), the settlement at Cape Ann was renamed Gloucester and the first town government was formed. The men who were appointed in 1642 to "order the prudential affairs of the town of Gloucester" were [[Stevens-862|Mr. Stevens]], [[Addis-4|Mr. Addes]], [[Milward-61|Mr. Milward]], Mr. Sadler, [[Bruen-24|Obadiah Bruen]], [[Norton-193|George Norton]], [[Friar-20|Mr. Freyer]] and [[Tibbot-32|Water Tybbot]], four of whom ([[Addis-4|Addes]], Sadler, [[Bruen-24|Bruen]] and [[Tibbot-32|Tybbot]]) were undoubtedly members of the Blinman Party. Two other presumed members of the Blinman Party -- [[Caulkins-22|Hugh Calkin]] and Hugh Prichard -- became Gloucester "prudential men" in 1643 and 1645, respectively. In 1650-1, Rev. Blinman, a group of other Gloucester residents (some part of the original Blinman Party and some not) and others from the Cape Ann area removed to New London in the Connecticut Colony. This group was referred to by Caulkins as the "eastern or Cape Ann company." For information about the Cape Ann Company and its members, see [[Space:The_Cape_Ann_Company|The Cape Ann Company]]. === Members of the Blinman Party === There is no definitive list of the persons who accompanied Rev. Blinman to New England and were thus members of the Blinman Party. Circumstantial evidence suggests that certain groups of persons were, with greater or lesser probability, part of the Party. The persons with the highest probability of having immigrated with Rev. Blinman are those who were propounded for freemanship in the Plymouth Colony in 1641 with Rev. Blinman. There is no evidence that any of them were in New England prior to the Blinman Party's arrival, and all of them later appear in Gloucester records after the Blinman Party removed there. This group of persons consists only of: * [[Bruen-24|Obadiah Bruen]], from Tarvin, Cheshire, Gloucester selectman in 1642 * [[Caulkins-22|Hugh Calkin]], from Waverton, Cheshire, Gloucester selectman in 1643 * Hugh Prichard, from Broughton, Denbighshire, Gloucester selectman in 1645 * John Sadler, origin unknown, Gloucester selectman in 1642 * [[Tibbot-32|Walter Tibbott]], from Bristol, Gloucester selectman in 1642 A second group of persons, with a somewhat lesser probability of having immigrated with Rev. Blinman, are those persons for whom there is no record of their presence in New England prior to 1640, who first appear in New England in Gloucester in the 1640s and who accompanied Rev. Blinman to New London as part of the Cape Ann Company in 1650-1. Those who originated from areas where one or more persons in the most probable group originated from or from elsewhere along the Welsh-English born are more likely to have been part of the Blinman Party than those who did not. This second group of persons consists of: * [[Addis-4|William Addes]], from Frampton, Gloucestershire (place of origin is consistent with his having been part of the Blinman Party), Gloucester selectman in 1642 * [[Avery-192|Christopher Avery]], from Newton Abbot, Devonshire (place of origin is not consistent with his having been a member of the Blinman Party) * [[Avery-147|James Avery]], from Newton Abbot, Devonshire place of origin is not consistent with his having been a member of the Blinman Party) * [[Hough-387|William Hough]], from Chester, Cheshire (place of origin is consistent with his having been part of the Blinman Party) * [[Jones-21705|Thomas Jones]] * [[Lester-16|Andrew Lester/Lister]], origin unknown * William Meades, origin unknown * [[Parker-5118|Ralph Parker]], origin unknown (note: Ralph Parker may not belong in this group since the first record of him in Gloucester is not until the later 1640s, although that may be because he was not 21 until about 1644) * [[Roberts-2617|Hugh Roberts]], origin unknown (note: Hugh Roberts may not belong in this group since the first record of him in Gloucester is not until 1649, although that may be because he was not 21 until about 1646) * [[Wellman-39|William Wellman]], possibly from Somersetshire A third group of persons who may have been part of the Blinman Party are those persons for whom there is no record of their presence in New England prior to 1640, who first appear in New England in Gloucester in the 1640s, but who did not accompany Rev. Blinman to New London as part of the Cape Ann Company in 1650-1. * [[Hill-8429|Elinor (Babson) Hill]], [[Hill-12092|Zebulon Hill]] and [[Hill-12104|John Hill]], from Bedminster/Bristol, may have accompanied Walter Tybbot as minors * [[Milward-61|Thomas Milward]], Gloucester selectman in 1642 * John Pearce, married in Gloucester in 1643 * Thomas Skellin, had land in Gloucester in 1643 * Thomas Smith, had a child born in Gloucester in 1643 * [[Southmayd-26|William Southmeade]], married a daughter of William Addes in 1642 The following persons have sometimes been suggested as having been members of the Blinman Party, but definitely were not, since records establish that they immigrated to New England prior to 1640, were living somewhere other than Green's Harbor in 1640 or arrived in New England after 1640: * [[Beckwith-78|Matthew Beckwith]], in New England by 1639 * [[Beebe-378|John Beebe]] and children, did not arrive in New England until 1650 * [[Coit-6|John Coit Sr]], in Salem by 1636 * [[Friar-20|Thomas Fryer]], in Salem by 1639 * [[Harwood-22|George Harwood]], in Salem by 1639 * [[Isbell-80|Robert Isbell]], in Salem by 1636 * [[Keeney-82|William Keeny]], in Salem/Marblehead by 1638 * [[Marshall-2195|Edmund Marshall]], in Salem by 1636 * John Marshall (son of Edmund), in Salem by 1636 * [[Morgan-229|James Morgan]], lived in Roxbury in 1640-1650 * [[Norton-193|George Norton]], in Salem by 1629 * [[Stevens-862|William Stevens]], in New England by 1632 == Research Notes == * According to [http://www.genealogy.com/forum/surnames/topics/calkins/2956/ "Origin of Hugh Caulkins," posted by Robert Caulkins on genealogy.com on July 27, 2009], Lord and Lady Harley were aquainted with [[Bruen-32|John Bruen, Esq.]], whom they called "Bishop Bruen", of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruen_Stapleford Bruen Stapleford] in the parish of Tarvin in Westchester (an ancient name for Chester), Cheshire, England. However, no reliable source for this assertion has been found. * [[Caulkins-22|Hugh Caulkins]] was from Waverton, a few miles west, also in Westchester. [[Hough-387|William Hough]] is alleged to be from Chester, yet another few miles west. [[Lester-16|Andrew Lester]] is reported to be from the distinguished family of the same name in Cheshire. Daniel Clark reportedly came from the Cheshire area, according to a letter from him to Hugh Calkins mentioned in "Origins of Hugh Caulkins." It is certainly reasonable that these folks from Cheshire may have known each other and through the Bruen's met up with the Reverend. (Note: the Mr. Clark who appears in the list of early settlers in Gloucester was [[Clark-10649|Edmund Clark]] who came from Bristol, not Daniel Clark.) ''Gloucester, Massachusetts.

[[Davenport-3|Thomas Davenport Sr (abt.1616-1685]] == Origins and Boston Davenports == Thomas' last name indicates that some of his early ancestors lived in the town of Davenport in Cheshire, England. The town is now in Greater Manchester. In the Domesday Book of 1986 it was listed as Deneport, having 3 small holders, 2 other people and 1 rider, owned by Gilbert de Venables. This village was given to Orme Davenport around 1100 in a charter. Orme is the earliest known Davenport. His son Richard married into the Venables family and had a son named Thomas. This is when it seems this old Saxon family joined the Norman nobility. It seems the name Thomas pops up quite frequently in the family. And the family is well attested in records throughout the centuries. Unfortunately, they don't show the connections to the Davenport families that immigrated to Boston in the 1600's. There were 5 different families of Davenports in the Boston area in the 1600's. We don't know how any of them was related, but there are suggestions that most of them are. For instance, there are rumors all 5 used the same coat of arms as their seal. Thomas Davenport of Dorchester: Listed here. Rev. John Davenport came from Coventry, Warwickshire, born around 1597. He was the grandson of Edward Davenport of Coventry. He had a dispute with his church and came to Salem, MA in 1637. He married Elizabeth Wooley. Thomas would have had some dealings with him. On June 2 1668 a letter was sent from the old church in Boston to the church in Dorchester to send their elders to a meeting to advise in a matter of division. There was dissention about a Mr. (John) Davenport being voted in as an officer of the church. It was agreed that Mr. Davenport and other dissenting people form their own church, but on Oct 6 1668 it was announced that he was ordained in the old church in Boston.Records of the First Church at Dorchester, in New England, 1636-1734 by First Church (Dorchester, Boston, Mass.) as found at [https://archive.org/details/recordsoffirstch00firs/page/54/mode/2up?q=Davenport] Captain Richard Davenport came from Weymouth, Dorset, born around 1606. He came to New England in 1628 and moved to Boston in 1642. He married Elizabeth Hathorne. Richard commanded the fort at Castle Island in Boston Harbor. Richard had some dealings with Dorchester. In 1636 he led one of the companies for the entire area that fought off the Pequot Indians. Richard was killed by lightning in 1665. He named a daughter Truecross since he had torn a cross out of a banner during the 1636 conflict, considering it papist. Truecross married & settled in Dorchester.History of the town of Dorchester, Massachusetts by Dorchester Antiquarian and Historical Society (Dorchester, Boston, Mass.); Clapp, Ebenezer, 1809-1881 as found at [https://archive.org/details/historyoftownofd00dorc/page/502/mode/1up?q=Davenport] Humphrey Davenport was born in Devonshire around 1640. He went to Barbados, then to Boston. He died in New Jersey in 1680. He married Rachel Holmes. Humphrey apparently lived in Dorchester for a short time, so he would have met Thomas too. Francis Davenport was a mariner from Plimpton Mary, Devon. He married Anne Snelling around 1675, but had other wives and mistresses. He was also in trouble in England and the Indies for lying, cheating, slandering, etc. Lots of possibilities have been given as Thomas' parents. Some people list John Davenport and Alice Wooley of Coventry, Warwickshire. The Biographical Review says that Bennett F. Davenport was, and that he had settled in Boston in the early days to practice medicine - however he was apparently a descendant born 1845. Others list William Davenport and Dorothy Warren of Poynton, Cheshire; still others list Thomas Davenport and Mary Forth. His wife Mary's maiden name has been given as Forth and Pitman. We have no proof for any of these. A DNA project somewhere around 2006 showed that Thomas was related to Rev. John and that both go back to Orme, the first known Davenport ancestor. A Richard Davenport migrating to Virginia also connected. Humphrey didn't connect. Actual connections haven't been found yet.Janet's Thread as found at [https://willisweaver2.com/2015/07/31/thomas-davenport-1620-1685-7x-great-grandfather/] and Davenport DNA Project as found at [https://isogg.org/wiki/Davenport_DNA_project] == Thomas Davenport of Dorchester == In 1657 the baptism and marriage book of 1st Church in Dorchester was destroyed by fire. Only a few records written elsewhere were saved. It's very likely that the exact date of Thomas' and Mary's marriage and Mary's last name went up in smoke with this book. Thomas Davenport is listed as making "profession of faith and Repentance and taking hould of the Covent (Covenant) before the Congregacon" in Dorchester on Sept 20 1640.Records of the First Church at Dorchester, in New England, 1636-1734 by First Church (Dorchester, Boston, Mass.) as found at [https://archive.org/details/recordsoffirstch00firs/page/4/mode/2up?q=Davenport] Several of his children followed suit: Sarah (May 7 1677, admitted to full Communion), Charles (May 29 1677 owning ye Covenant; Aug 1 1683 admitted to full Communion), Ann (May 29 1677 owning ye Covenant), Ebenezer (April 14 1685 owning ye Covenant), Hanah (Anna? Dec 25 1676, admitted to full Communion) Thomas Davenport was admitted a freeman on May 18 1642.Ebenezer Clapp, Dorchester Antiquarian and Historical Society, ''History of the town of Dorchester, Massachusetts'', published 1859. [https://archive.org/details/historyoftownofd00dorc/page/117/mode/1up Page 117] This means he was a member of the church in good standing. A significant portion of the congregation had left to found Windsor, Connecticut in 1636; Thomas was one of those people who came shortly afterwards and made up for that loss. Just before Thomas' daughter Abigail's baptism record in May 1655, there is a note that says in June there was a sickness that struck down almost everyone - the author had never seen so few people in church, nor heard so much coughing. This would have been terrifying for Thomas and Mary, having 6 children under 12. In 1660, Charles II became king of England, ending Puritan rule. The people of Dorchester would of course have sided with Cromwell's government, and they were afraid of losing privileges and rights under this new regime. On Oct 19 1664 they wrote a letter to the new Deputy Governor and others announcing their fidelity to the government and requesting that they keep their current freedoms. Thomas Davenport Senior and Junior were among the men that signed this document. Thomas Davenport was made a constable in 1670. There's a list dated to 1676 of people in Dorchester who needed to be catechized (learning about theology). Essentially this seems to be a list of single people in the church, going down to age 7. The "young maids of Dorchester" list is begun with Sarah Davenport, age 31, and Anna Davenport, age 24. They must have been the oldest unmarried "girls" in town who weren't considered spinsters yet. Abigail had died by this time; Mary was married. On May 3 1681 a disagreement about the exchange of some land Robert Stiles had promised to exchange to brother Thomas Davenport but instead exchanged it to someone else. It wasn't settled between them, so they took it to the church council. The elders visited together about it, and on May 10 they announced that a bond of 30 pounds was to be paid, and Stiles kept the land. Being called "brother" in this transaction showed that Thomas, while not an elder of the church, still held a place of high esteem.

Inventory of his belongings totalled 332 pounds 16 shillings 8 pence. His son Charles was executor. It's believed that Thomas built the old mansion that was still standing on the north side of Green Street in the late 1880's.History of the town of Dorchester, Massachusetts by Dorchester Antiquarian and Historical Society (Dorchester, Boston, Mass.); Clapp, Ebenezer, 1809-1881 as found at [https://archive.org/details/historyoftownofd00dorc/page/117/mode/1up] It's also believed that he lived in a house on the corner of Bowdoin Street and Union Avenue. He bought the house in 1653 from William Pigrom and grounds around in 1665 from William Blake. His son John inherited his house from him. == Sources == * Records of the First Church at Dorchester, in New England, 1636-1734 by First Church (Dorchester, Boston, Mass.) as found at [https://archive.org/details/recordsoffirstch00firs/page/4/mode/2up?q=Davenport] & [https://archive.org/details/recordsoffirstch00firs/page/54/mode/2up?q=Davenport] & [https://archive.org/details/recordsoffirstch00firs/page/86/mode/2up?q=Davenport] * History of the town of Dorchester, Massachusetts by Dorchester Antiquarian and Historical Society (Dorchester, Boston, Mass.); Clapp, Ebenezer, 1809-1881 as found at [https://archive.org/details/historyoftownofd00dorc/page/116/mode/2up?q=Davenport] * The New England historical and genealogical register by Waters, Henry F.

Pp 437-440 is available at [https://www.familysearch.org/library/books/records/item/173883-redirection Family Search]. Suggests various theories regarding Thomas Flagg and his origins. Should be read together with additional notes immediately below: Reader June Braman of Corvallis, Oregon, whose ancestry is through Sarah Bigelow (Asa 4 , Lt. John 3 , Joshua 2 , John 1 ), last summer [Dates Unknown] attended a week-long seminar in genealogy, sponsored by New England Historical and Genealogical Society. She had the use of their excellent library, and while researching, used the copy-machine to send us a forty-page extract from Genealogical Notes on the Founding of New England, by Ernest Flagg, 1926. These pages (pp. 401-440) thoroughly disprove the statement of the Flagg genealogies that Thomas Flegg was baptised in Whinbergh, Norfolk in 1615, son of Bartholomew and Alicia Flegg. ''Please note that the following contains speculation absent documentation.'' Concerning Bartholomew Flegg, the author states: "He was born about 1585 and resided in Whinbergh until 1619 when he moved to the adjoining parish of Shipdham...and continued there ten years until his death; and was buried there 7 March 1628/9. He left no will nor was there any administration of his estate." Therefore there is no list of heirs. He had five children baptised in Shipdham after 1619. Since Whinbergh parish registers prior to 1703 are lost, we have no way of knowing if there were any children, specifically Thomas Flegg, born there prior to 1619. Ernest Flagg continues: "For half a century it has been claimed in America that the emigrant Thomas Flegg was baptised _ Whinbergh or Shipdham in 1615." No such record exists. The author does find proof that a Thomas Flegg was baptised in Hardingham, Norfolk, on 6 May 1621, and proceeds in the next few pages to establish that this child is the man who came to New England. He establishes the lineage for several generations. Thomas Flegg (baptised 1621) was the youngest of the four sons of Allen and Nazareth - (Devoroys) Flegg. He was seven years old at his father's death and came under the control of his oldest brother Henry, with whom he probably lived during the next few years. Here Ernest Flagg digresses to give us this historical background " In 1633 William Laud became archbishop of Canterbury.. and started to enforce conformity upon the Puritans... Matthew Wren became bishop of Norfolk in 1635, and his active persecutions of the Puritans caused a large migration of them to New England during the next two years. At the same time there was great economic and industrial depression in England and...young men joined this migration, not on account of religious motives, but with the object of bettering their material condition. "In this category belonged Thomas Flegg, who lived in New England fifty years before... he became a member of the Puritan church in 1690. Among the emigrants to New England in 1637 were 25 families...whose records have been preserved, because the law required that lists be made of all persons leaving England." Though many of the lists are lost, the Public Records Office in London has a list of 115 Norfolk residents licensed to pass to New England in April 1637 on either the ship John and Dorothy or the Rose. The family of Richard Carver of Scratby is named, and included three servants, one being "Thomas Flege age 21 years". If Thomas were baptised in 1621, how could he be "21 years" in 1637? Flagg continues "It was customary for young unmarried men to engage themselves for two or three years as an employee of an older planter who would pay their passage to the New World...Thomas Flegg's age was probably deliberately over-stated to make him appear to be of legal age." In this way he would avoid detention, for the law was quite strict about minors trying to leave the country. "If Thomas Flegg were a large and mature-appearing youth of 16, he could have made a bluff as being of age." Ernest Flagg states that while Carver came from a parish five miles from Flegg's home parish, there is no other Thomas Flegg of the area who could have been the emigrant. Carver died in Watertown, Massachusetts in 1640, and the following year Thomas Flegg, having served out his term of indebtedness begins to appear on Watertown records. He did so until his death in 1698. "This extraordinary combination of names whereby Thomas Flegg of Watertown named his children for himself, his wife his father, two of three brothers, his only paternal uncle, his two paternal grandparents, and a cousin, cannot be coincidence...and together with eliminating any other Flegg, seems to establish beyond reasonable doubt that the emigrant Thomas Flegg was the same"Thomas, son of Allen 16 (John 15, Richard 14, John 13, James 12, William 11, John 10, John 9, William 8, Philip 7, Philip 6, Philip 5, Sir John 4, Sir John 3, Henry 2, Alger 1 ) and Nazareth (Devoroys) Flegg. Ernest Flagg cautiously adds that beyond Thomas' grandfather, he has certain doubts as to the linage but the entire Forty pages make fascinating reading. Other records of interest concerning Thomas Flegg are that he owned a homestall of six acres, and a lot of twenty acres. He served as selectman eight times between 1671 and 1685, and as late as 10 July 1693, was chosen to serve on the grand jury. In 1659 he lost an eye by a gunshot accident. He made his will in 1697. From the third volume of published Watertown records, this last entry: "Thomas Flege an old man diceaced feb:6: 1697:8." Indeed he was an old man, a good seventy-six years old at the time of his death. His widow Mary made her will on 30 December 1702, which was attested 21 April 1703, and inventory for distribution taken 25 May 1703. Her husband having previously bequeathed most of his property to their sons, Mary divided her movables and remaining property "equally among my daughter Mary Biglo, my daughter Elizabeth Biglo, and my daughter Rebecca Gook...the executor to have 3L 12s of my son Benjamin Flegg which is remaining to be paid me by my husband's will.' The executor was Samuel Biglo, the witnesses were Nathaniel Wilder, Ephraim Wilder, and John Warren. This brings to mind the questions was Mary the wife of Thomas Flegg a Wilder daughter?

Nantucket Records == Old Profile Text and Material == The following has been taken from the original profile at [[Coffin-221|Tristram Coffin]] and placed here as reference material. Notes "He was the emigrant ancestor of this family. He was born in Brixham (Brixton) parish, Plymouth, England, in 1609, baptized March 11, 1610, being the son of Peter and Joanna Coffin. His father died about 1640, it is supposed; and the son taking his mother, sisters, Eunice and Mary, his wife Dionis and children, Peter, Tristram, Elizabeth, James, and John came to New England in 1642. His mother died in May 166, aged 77. After a brief stay at Salisbury and Haverhill, he settled in Newbury abut 1648. In 1654, he returned to Salisbury, remaining there until 1660, when he removed to Nantucket. He was an enterprising and intelligent man. It is said that he was the first to use a plow in Haverhill. In Salisbury, he was commissioner to try small causes and otherwise honored. In 1659, he united with others in forming a company to purchase and settle the island of Nantucket. They paid for in L30 and two beaver hats. Here he spent the remainder of his life, dying December 2, 1681, aged 72. He became one of the leaders of the company and was commissioned, June 22, 1671, by Francis Lovelace, Chief Magistrate of the Island. This commission testified to the fitness and capacity of Mr. Coffin. In several instances and probably always spelled his name Coffyn." Book, The Ancestors of Jane Maria Greenleaf, 1906, by, William F.J. Boardman, pages 85 and 86. Tristram and his family plus his mother and his two sisters had moved to Newbury by 1647. Tristram was authorized by the General Court to, "keep and ordinary and also a ferry" to carry passengers from Newbury to Salisbury. By 1652, he was taxed in Salisbury where he signed his name "Commissoner of Salisbury until 1660. In Salisbury, Tristram, along with Peter Folger, organized a company of 10 proprietors for the purchase and settlement of Nantucket. On 2 July 1659, they agreed to purchase nine-tenths of the island from Gov. Thomas Mayhew for 10 pounds and other considerations plus two beaver hats, one for Mayhew, the other for his wife. At the time, beaver hats were the fashion in Europe and in America. The ten proprietors included Christopher Hussey and Stephen Greenleaf. Stephen was Trstram's son-in-law. In July 1661, house lots were awarded and Tristram Coffin was given first choice. For many years, Trstram lived there and he with his son Peter, held controlling interest in the island. At that time, Nantucket was under the jurisdiction of New York and Tristram was appointed Governor of the Island in 1671(Albany Deeds, volume 3, 26). Two years later his commission is found in the Massachusetts Records. He held this office until 1680. N37Tristam always spelled his name "Coffyn" but his descendants used "Coffin" as do most sources on his life He was a Brixton church warden from 1639 to 1640, and was a constable in 1641 Tristram Coffin sailed to Boston in 1642 with his wife and children, his two sisters and his mother. For a short time he ran an inn in Salisbury, Massachusetts. He then moved to the new settlement of Pentucket, now Haverhill, Massachusetts. His name appears on a deed dated 15 November 1642 recording the sale of the land for the settlement by the local American Indian people. He is said to have used a plow that he had made himself to cultivate the land. It was here that his last four children were born. In 1648 he left the farm and moved to Newbury, Massachusetts. Here he operated a ferry across the Merrimack River and he and his wife ran a tavern. In 1653 his wife was "presented" for selling beer above the legal price of two pennies per quart. However, she was acquitted when it was found that her beer was much stronger than the ordinary.] Coffin sold the inn and ferry in 1654 or 1655 and moved to Salisbury, Massachusetts, where he signed himself "Tristram Coffyn, Commissioner of Salisbury. Tristram Coffin and other Salisbury investors bought Nantucket island from Thomas Mayhew on 2 July 1659. The purchase price was 30 pounds plus two beaver hats made by his son, also called Tristram. Coffin was the prime mover of the enterprise and was given first choice of land. In 1659 he settled near the western end of the island near Capaum pond. His sons Peter Coffin, Tristam Coffin Junior and James Coffin also received land on the island. Soon after settling, Tristam Coffin purchased the thousand-acre Tuckernuck Island at the western end of Nantucket. On 10 May 1660 the sachems conveyed title to a large part of the island to Coffin and his associates for eighty pounds. He built a corn mill in which he employed many of the local Native Americans, and he employed others on his farm. In 1671 Coffin and Thomas Macy were selected as spokesmen for the settlers, going to New York in 1671 to meet with Governor Francis Lovelace and secure their claim to Nantucket. As the most wealthy and respected of the settlers, Coffin was appointed chief magistrate of Nantucket on 29 June 1671. In 1677 he was again appointed chief magistrate for a term of four years. Tristram Coffin died on 2 October 1681 at the age of 76. During the years before his death, he had bestowed much of his property on his children and grandchildren. He was buried on his property on Nantucket Island. At his death he left seven children, 60 grandchildren and several great-grandchildren. One of his grandchildren calculated that by the year 1728, the number of his descendants was 1582,of whom 1128 were still alive. HISTORICAL EVENTS: A feud broke out amongst the early settlers of Nantucket. On one side, the Coffin’s and their friends, on the other side, the brothers Richard and John Gardner and their friends. The feud is thought to have developed from the divergent temperaments of Tristram and Capt. John Gardner. Tristram was a natural leader, but had tendencies to be irritable and despotic. Capt. John Gardner was a man of physical courage, rugged honesty and democratic in his dealings, traits that gained him public confidence. The estrangement between the Coffin and the Gardner families ended soon after Tristram’s death in 1681. Tristram’s eldest grandson Jethro and Jethro’s brother, Edward, married Mary and Anna Gardner. After 1681, James, another grandson of Tristram, married Love Gardner and later married, Ruth Gardner. Six other children of Richard Gardner married grandchildren of Tristram Coffin, among these, Tristram’s grandson, Samuel Coffin, married Richard Gardner’s daughter, Miriam and became my direct ancestors. === Notes === Note N212Tristram Coffin & his wife Dionis Stephens had two sons who were both ancestors to Seth Way, husband of Sarah Cranor.

[[Category:Winthrop Fleet]] See: [[:Category:Winthrop Fleet]] ===Winthrop Fleet=== The Winthrop Fleet was a group of eleven sailing ships under the leadership of [[Winthrop-12|John Winthrop]] that carried approximately 700 Puritans plus livestock and provisions from England to New England over the summer of 1630. ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winthrop_Fleet 1]) Winthrop's Journal lists the eleven ships that were in his fleet: [[:Category:Arbella, Winthrop Fleet|Arbella]], The flagship, designated 'Admiral'; [[:Category:Talbot, Winthrop Fleet|Talbot]], Designated 'Vice Admiral'; [[:Category:Ambrose, Winthrop Fleet|Ambrose]], Designated 'Rear Admiral'; [[:Category:Jewel, Winthrop Fleet|Jewel]], Designated a 'Captain'; [[:Category:Mayflower, Winthrop Fleet|Mayflower]], A different ship than that of the Pilgrims; [[:Category:Whale, Winthrop Fleet|Whale]]; [[:Category:Success, Winthrop Fleet|Success]]; [[:Category:Charles, Winthrop Fleet|Charles]]; [[:Category:William and Francis, Winthrop Fleet|William and Francis]]; [[:Category:Hopewell, Winthrop Fleet|Hopewell]]; [[:Category:Trial, Winthrop Fleet|Trial]]. Six other ships arrived at Massachusetts Bay in 1630, for a total of seventeen ships that year. The flow of Puritans to New England continued for another ten years, during a period known as the [[:Category:Puritan Great Migration|Great Migration]]. '''Voyage''' The initial group (Arbella and her three escorts) departed Yarmouth, Isle of Wight on April 8, the remainder following in two or three weeks. Seven hundred men, women, and children were distributed among the ships of the fleet. The voyage itself was rather uneventful, the direction and speed of the wind being the main topic in Winthrop's Journal, as it affected how much progress was made each day. There were a few days of severe weather, and every day was cold. The children were cold and bored, and there is a description of a game played with a rope that helped with both problems. The Winthrop Fleet was a well planned and financed expedition that formed the nucleus of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. However they were not the first settlers of the area. There was an existing settlement at Salem, started in about 1626, populated by a few hundred Puritans, most of whom had arrived in 1629, and who were governed by [[Endicott-21|John Endicott]]. Winthrop superseded Endicott as Governor of the Colony upon his arrival in 1630.
