| 201 | Parents died the first winter. Brothers and sisters remained in England.After her Husband John's death, she went to live with her Daughter LydiaBrowne. She is not buried with her husband, but in the Brown FamilyCemetery in Rhode Island. "In 1847 it was believed that Elizabeth was the Carvers' daughter. In1855 William Bradford's long-lost journal was discovered, and atranscript was published in 1856. Entitled "Of Plimoth Plantation", itis about the only written record of Plymouth Colony. It contained, amongmuch other information, the fact that the Carvers were childless, andthey had taken Elizabeth Tilley, then a young teenager, into their homewhen her parents and her uncle and aunt all died during the first winterat Plymouth. Her father was John Tilley, her mother usually accepted tobe Joan Hurst Rogers, though some writers have said she was ElizabethComyngs. John Howland was the "servant" of the Carvers. At that time,the term "employee" had not been created; employees were called"servants". When Both Carvers died in the spring of the first year atPlymouth, John Howland inherited the Carvers' estate. | TILLEY, Elizabeth (I14137)

| 203 | Percival Lowell was 68 years of age when he came to New England in 1639,and 73 when he died. He was from Kingston-Seymour, Clevedon, Portbury,and Weston-in-Gardano, all of Somersetshire, as well as Bristol ofGloucestershire. Family tradition says that he came to Newbury, Mass.,from Bristol, England in 1639 in the ship Jonathan, though the passengerlist for that vessel does not exist. In 1597 he was assessor in Kingston-Seymour, England. The parish recordscovering his early life in England unfortunately are lost, leaving muchunknown that would have been of great interest. Percival and family musthave been well established in England. They had in Bristol, England, alarge mercantile establishment under the firm name of "Percival Lowle andCo." This firm was managed by the father Percival, the son John, andperhaps the son Richard, and possibly William Gerrish, who came over withthe Lowles and subsequently married Percival's sister, Mrs. JoannaOliver, widow of John Oliver. Percival and sons had means when they arrived in this country andpurchased real estate quite extensively in old Newbury, Mass. andvicinity. Coming later than some others and being wealthy, had no landgrants. They purchased their land, but later shared in the division oftown lands as well. He was admitted Freeman March 17, 1642. In 1648, in adeed to Mrs. Gerrish he is called "Gent," meaning a person of highstation. In 1653 Percival Lowell was appraiser of the estate of ThomasMillard of Newbury, Mass. This Thos. Millard married Abigail Goodale,sister of Elizabeth, wife of John Lowell, oldest son of Percival. He tookthe Oath of Allegience in 1678 with his brothers, Thomas and Benjamin. Onthe Town Rate of Newbury 1688, "Mr. Per. Lowle" was placed for: "2 Heads,1 horse, 5 plowlands, 10 meadows, 1 house, 4 oxen, 4 cows, 1 3 yr old, 12 yr old, 1 1 yr old, 10 sheep, 2 hogs." On the same rate Mrs. Lowle(probably widow of John, oldest son of Percival) and Thomas Lowle werealso for a little less than Percival. Percival wrote a poem on the death of Gov. Winthrop of Mass., which,though not fully up to our modern ideals in every particular, shows thathe had the germ of that poetic fire which has so often gleamed out allalong the Lowell line and burst forth in such brilliancy in that mostnoted member of this family, the Hon. James Russell Lowell. | LOWELL, Percival (I23385)

| 204 | Philip Nelson, the eldest son of Thomas, came to America with his fatherin 1638. He graduated from Harvard in 1654, and was admitted freeman in1667. He caused some trouble in the church at Rowley by pretending tocure a deaf and dumb boy in imitation of our Saviour, by sayingEphphatha. The ministers of the neighbouring churches were calledtogether, and the boy was brought before them to see whether he couldspeak or not. He was interrogated, but "there he stood," say the records,"like a deaf and dumb boy as he was." They could not make him hear, norcould he speak. Coffin, MS Letter. Philip died 20 Aug. 1691. | NELSON, Philip Captain (I23356)

His is listed simply "from London", andbound for Scituate. John was educated at Queen's College, Cambridge where he matriculated in1601, graduated B.A. in 1605 and M.A. in 1609. In 1611 he became a curateof the parish Church in Egerton, County Kent, where he remained until1623. That year he resigned his office in the Church of England, andbecame Pastor of the First Independent Church of London, which had noregular place of worship, but met from house to house. With the greaterpart of his congregation he was arrested April 22, 1632, by the spies ofArchbishop Land, and confined to Mygates prison, from which he wasreleased in 1634 & sailed for New England, arriving in September of thatyear. That same year Lothrop went to Scituate, where he formed the FirstChurch there. In 1639 the church divided and Lothrop went to Barnstable,becoming minister there. He died at Barnstable in 1653. Rev. Lothrop's arrival in New England was of importance. Gov. Winthropmade public mention of it, noting and commending the "modesty and reserveof one who had so prominently, so ably, so fearlessly upheld the Puritanfaith." Governor Winthrop's journal for September 18, 1634 notes that"The Grifin and another ship now arriving with about 200 passengers. Mr.Lathrop and Mr. Sims, two godly ministers coming in the same ship." | LOTHROP, John (I14507)
|
| 213 | Richard Barker, Sr. was the first settler known in Andover in 1643. Thedetails of his arrival are not known. (See "Historical Sketches ofAndover" by S. L. Bailey, p. 90 and 7). On Oct 24, 1645 he founded theFirst Baptist Church of Andover. He is identified as Yeoman, and was aSurveyor in 1671/72. He was a member of the "Loyal Legion". Richard lived near the house lot of John Osgood, on the north side ofCochichawicke. His descendants ultimately settled on their farm lands,and the several families of Barkers circled almost the entire shore ofthe Great Pond, on the north, east, and south, owning a total of 310acres there. Richard was a selectman of Andover until his death on Mar18, 1692/93. | BARKER, Richard (I22847)

| 214 | Richard came from Plymouth, England to Taunton, Massachusetts as early as1668, possibly 1656, was made a freeman of Plymouth colony in 1689. Hewas a large landholder in Taunton. | STEPHENS, Richard (I25061)
|
| 215 | Richard Hutchinson, son of Thomas of Arnold, England, was born in 1602.The date of his birth is ascertained from a deposition on file in theoffice of the Essex County Court, Salem, Mass., where in a case ofCromwell vs. Ruck, 1660, he states his age as being 58 years. He emigrated to America in 1634, with his wife Alice, and four children,and settled in Salem Village, now Danvers, in the vicinity of Whipple andHathorne's hill. Richard applied for admission as a freeman and was swornMarch 4, 1634/35. For the first few years after its arrival the familyseems to have lived in the thickly settled part of Salem, as it isrecorded that Philemon Dickerson was granted land for tanpits nearRichard Hutchinson/s house in 1639. Before this, however, he had begun toaccumulate the large acreage in the heavily forested section, later knownas Salem Village and Danvers, which became his homestead. In 1636 and1637 he was granted a total of one hundred acres, the last twenty beingon condition that he "shallo sett up plowing within 2 years." Clearingthe land was a lengthy process. Adjoining this land were two hundredacres granted to Mr. (Edmund) Freeman and one hundred acres granted toJohn Thorndike, both of which Hutchinson acquired, giving him a farm offour hundred acres. On June 6, 1648, he bought from Elias Stileman anadjoining farm of one hundred and fifty acres, now the center of Danvers,and on February 21, 1649, with his son-in-law Nathaniel Putnam he boughtfrom William Haynes one-half (one hundred and fifty acres) of the Peasefarm. His final important purchase was made in partnershhip with JohnPutnam, John Hathorn and Daniel Ray on October 31, 1662, when they boughtfrom "Worshipful Major Hathorn" and Capt. Richard Davenport two farms ofabout two hundred and eighty acres each, all of which made him one of thegreatest land owners of the place and time. The first official notice made of him is in the town records, when it isstated that, in recognition of his public spirit, as being the possessorand introducer of the first plow brought into this country, he wasgranted one hundred and forty acres of land by the town authorities. Hewas a thorough agriculturist, and by assiduous devotion to his occupationand economy in living, he acquired a large landed estate, which on hisdeath was divided according to the terms of his will. He and his wife arerecorded as members of the first church in Salem. Hutchinson's public services were slight. In 1636/7 with RichardBrackenbury and Thomas Lathrop he viewed "what Inlands their is betwixtJeffreys creeks and Mackerell Cove, 4 or ffyve miles," in what is nowManchester. He was admitted to Salem church in 1647. His appearances incourt, both as plaintiff and defendant, were in minor causes, but as awitness in Cromwell v. Rush in 1660 he gave the interesting informationthat his age was then about fifty-eight years. In 1661 Hutchinson and hisson-in-law Nathanial Putnam went to Ipswich to arrange a marriage betweenHannah Hutchinson and Daniel Boardman with Boardman's father. To furtherthe match Thomas Boardman agreed to give Daniel a deed for one-half ofhis dwelling, orchard and land, and if Daniel should die without issueHannah was to be paid a Š100 jointure after which his whole estate was tobe at his father's disposal. After the marriage Boardman built a newhouse and offered Daniel his choice of that or the old one to live in,but he dalayed giving a legal conveyance and his son finally sued for it. Hutchinson disposed of much of his property to his children in hislifetime. He and his wife Alice conveyed half of the Stileman farm toNathaniel Putnam in 1651. On May 16, 1666, he gave to his son Joseph onequarter of the Stileman farm "where are now his dwelling house, barn andland already broken up," the apple trees in the old orchard and threehundred other acres. On the same day he deeded to his son John the familyhomestead and all the meadow purchased of Capt. Davenport. In 1680 he mada gift to his son-in-law James Hadlock which was confirmed by JosephHutchinson in 1704. He and Alice are first mentioned in the records of First Church, Salem in1636, in connection with the baptism of his daughter Abigail. Richard wasadmitted to the Church on April 4, 1647. His wife Alice had been a memberof the Church before him. Richard was married three times. On 2, Oct. 1668, he married as hissecond wife, Susanna, widow of Samuel Archard. She died Nov. 26, 1674,and he married Sarah, widow of James Standish. On the decease of JamesStandish, Mr. Hutchinson had been appointed administrator. At his thirdmarriage he must have been at least 79 years of age, and certainly 66 onhis second. His will was signed Jan. 19, 1679, and probated Sept. 26, 1682. Itmentions daughters Abigail Hannah, sons-in-law Anthony Ashby, DanielBoardman, Nathaniel Putnam, Thomas Hale and James Hadlock, grandchildrenBethia Hutchinson and Sarah Hadlock, servant, Black Peter, and his sonJoseph, executor. His widow survived him, and shortly after married forher third husband Thomas Roots, of Manchester, whose will was proved Nov.27, 1683. She was living as late as March 1683-4. From "Massachusetts and Maine Families in the Ancestry of Walter GoodwinDavis (1885-1966)", by Walter Goodwin Davis with an Introduction by GaryBoyd Roberts, Genealogical Publishing Co, Inc., Baltimore, Maryland,1996, pp. 2:320-21: He may very possibly be identical with that RichardHutchinson who married Alice Bosworth at Cotgrave, co. Nottingham, andwho was the father of three daughters baptized in neighboring parishesbetween 1628 and 1630, two of whom bore the names of Richard Hutchinson'stwo oldest daughters with him in Salem. The descent from an armorialfamily of Hutchinson of Arnold and Newark, co. Nottingham, provided forhim, is, however, insufficiently proven to be acceptable. | HUTCHINSON, Richard (I15581)

| 216 | Richard set sail at London in the Truelove, Sept 17, 1635 at age 34,already having sent his wife Elizabeth Basselle in the Planter in April,1635; sons William and Francis, sailed in the Rebecca; and daughterElizabeth sailed in the Susan and Ellen in the company of friends. He wasa planter in Hampton in 1638. He took Freeman's Oath there on 13 Mar1639.

He owned a house and land in Exeter in 1650.Richard was fined by the General Court 12 Nov, 1659, 3 pounds anddisenfranchised for entertaining Quakers. He gave part of his house lot in Hampton to his daughter Grace and herhusband, Nathaniel Bolter, in 1660. The inhabitants of Hampton became increasingly hostile to Quakers, so in1660-61 he migrated to Nantucket Island with his second wife, Jane, widowof George Bunker, his stepchildren, and his sons John & Richard. Richardand his John, along with eight other men bought Nantucket Island in 1661from Thomas Mayhew for 30 pounds silver and two beaver hats. He sold his remaining property in Hampton to his son-in-law, NathanielBolter in 1663.Richard set sail at London in the Truelove, Sept 17, andarrived in December of 1635 at age 34. He had sent his wife Elizabeth inthe Planter in April; sons William and Francis, sailed in the Rebecca;and daughter Elizabeth sailed in the Susan and Ellen in the company offriends, all in that year. His daughter Grace must have also been sentahead, though I can find no record of her crossing. He settled at Rowley,Massachusetts then at Hampton, New Hampshire of which he was one of thefounders, then on Nantucket Island with John Swain, his son, and eightothers. He was a planter in Hampton in 1638, was Commissioner for the Ending ofSmall Causes and lot-layer in 1639; he signed a petition in the Howardcase in 1643 and the petition of Exeter inhabitants in 1645. He owned ahouse and land in Exeter in 1650, and gave part of his house lot inHampton to his daughter Grace and her husband, Nathaniel Bolter, in 1660,and another tract to Hezekiah, eldest son of his deceased son William, in1663. Richard was fined by the General Court on 12 Nov, 1659 for entertainingQuakers. Richard and his son John, along with eight other men boughtNantucket Island in 1661 from Thomas Mayhew for 30 pounds silver and twobeaver hats. He became a Quaker and moved to Nantucket with his secondwife, Jane, his stepchildren, and his sons John & Richard. He sold hisremaining property in Hampton to his son-in-law, Nathaniel Bolter in1663. He took the Freeman's Oath on 13 Mar 1639. He married Jane, widow ofGeorge Bunker, in 1658/9. His daughter Dorothy married Thomas Abbot, andlater Edward Chapman; and Elizabeth married Nathaniel Weare. He died April 14, 1682 in Nantucket. | SWAINE (SWAYNE, SWAN?), Richard (I582)

| 217 | Robert Allyn, the first of that name in this country, was probably bornin England about 1608. He is known to have lived in Salem. Massachusetts,in 1636, and was admitted to the church there in 1642. He was aproprietor at Jeffery's Creek in 1638 and a constable there in 1648. InMarch, 1651, he emigrated with the Glouster Company to New London,Connecticut, and was allotted land on Cape Ann Lane. He later, in 1656,obtained a large tract of land on the east bank of the Thames, thencalled the Pequod river, at a place still called Allyn's Point. This wasthen in the town of New London but by changes in boundaries it soonbecame the town of Ledyard. He was one of a company which purchased landin Norwich or "New Norridge" where he was a constable in 1669. He died in1683 in Ledyard leaving five children by his wife Sarah--a son John, andfour daughters--Sarah, wife of George Geer; Mary, wife of Thomas Park;Hannah, wife of Thomas Rose; Deborah, who afterwards married John GagerJr. | ALLYN, Robert (I29302)
|
| 218 | Robert immigrated aboard the ship "Paul". He departed Gravesend (London),bound for St. Christophers, (Barbados) on 3 Apr 1635. His age is given at24. There are no records of the connecting voyage available to confirmhis arrival in the Colonies, but this was a route used by many travelersto the "southern colonies" of New York and Virginia, so perhaps he landedthere first. Robert is of Dorchester in 1654, admitted Freeman there in 1666, and ison the list of Freemen in 1671. | SPUR, Robert (I27017)
|
| 219 | Robert was the 7th Great-granfather of President Abraham Lincoln, throughhis son Richard. | LINCOLN, Robert (I7683)
|
| 220 | Said to have been of Huguenot ancestry, Henry Champion was born in England in 1611. He emigrated from England to the American Colonies andsettled at Saybrook, Connecticut, where he is found as early as 1647, ashe married there in August of that year. Henry settled with his family tothe east side of the Connecticut River, in that part of Saybrook thatlater became Lyme. He was one of Lyme's first and most active founders.Henry was admitted Freeman at Lyme in 1670. He was one of thosecomplained of by John Prentis, of New London, to the county court atHartford, in March, 1671-2, in the great quarrel between the people ofNew London and Lyme, as to the eastern bounds of Lyme and western boundsof New London. He had lands beyond "Little Stoney Brook" in June, 1674,and other lands. The maiden name of Henry Champion's first wife, Sarah, is not known.Henry's second wife, Deborah Jones, was described as a "shrewd, schemingwoman, for she induced this old man to make a very advantageous marriagesettlement upon her, and finally involved him in a law suit with thewidow of his eldest son..." An agreement was reached on April 26, 1709and signed by Deborah Champion, Henry Champion, Jr., Henry Bennett, AaronHuntley, John Wade and Hannah Wade. Since Henry Champion died when he was98 years old and married Deborah Jones in 1697/98, he was about 88 yearsold when he married her. Henry died in February, 1709. | CHAMPION, Henry (I268)

| 221 | Samuel Wilbore came with his wife Anne in the Winthrop Fleet, arriving atBoston in April and July of 1630. None of his sons are listed with them,so they may have been sent for later. His origin is not recorded, but heis listed bound for Boston. He is recorded in the Parish records of Sible, Hedington, England with amarriage to Ann Smith in 1620 and also with his children at theirbaptisms.
