THE EMIGRANT HATHAWAYS

In the early days of the New England colonization the name, “Hathaway” was oftenspelled as it was usually pronounced, “Hadaway”. Four of the name came over fromEngland to America at, or about the same time, 1635; and Nicholas, from whom our lineis descended, came over in 1639. It is thought that these five Hathaways, or Hadaway, assome spelled the name, were closely related; some of them may have been brothers,although that is still to be proved. The family name is supposed to have originated inWales, although possibly in England. Due to the fact that so many of the earlyHathaways were named “John”, it is not surprising that historians have erred in thecompilation of their data. All the early data and records of Hathaways were very vague.The early “comeoverers”, as they are sometimes called, may have been related inEngland. There were many Hathaway families in England in the 1600's and there stillare. For the sake of convenience I have numbered these five emigrants from 1 to 5 andgive below an outline of each one, as I have it.

1. Arthur Hadaway (or Hathaway), Sr., settled at Marshfield in 1643, lived in Plymouthin 1646 and afterwards removed to Dartmouth. He married, Nov. 20, 1652, Sarah Cookeof Plymouth, a granddaughter of Richard Warren, Mayflower Pilgrim. There were manydescendants. In Braintree records, Nicholas Hathaway had a land grant for four heads,Dec. 24, 1639/40. Two of these would be for Nicholas and his young son, John, and itwould appear that the other two might have been Arthur and John “of Barnstable.” Forfurther details, refer to #5226, line 2613, page 3, the first line numbered 3. ArthurHathaway and Sarah Cooke, his wife, had at least two children, both sons.

1. John Hathaway, born Sept. 17, 1653 2. Arthur Hathaway, Jr., born in 1655.

2. John Hathaway, “of Taunton”, was a very respectable man and owned a large landedestate. He was often employed in the business of the colony. This family is almostextinct. It is said that descendants of this family were defective, deaf mutes and someblind. He died Nov. 3, 1695

3. Joseph Hathaway of Taunton. Have nothing as yet about him.

4. John Hadaway (or) (Hathaway), Sr., “of Barnstable” was born in England in 1617, asappears on Custom House records and by his own deposition dated Mar. 1, 1658/9.He came to America in the “Blessing” in July, 1635 at the age of 18. He was beforethe General Court in 1637. In Braintree records, Nicholas Hathaway (# 5120, Line #5)had a land grant for four heads, Dec. 24, 1639/40. Two of these would be for Nicholasand his young son, John; and it would appear that the other two might have beenArthur and John “of Barnstable”. He resided at Yarmouth in 1649 and wassummoned before the Plymouth Court for lending a gun to an Indian. He resided atBarnstable in 1656. He married, (1), July 1, 1656, at the age of 39, which was verylate in life for those days, Hannah Hallet, a daughter of Andrew Hallet and Mary ---, ofBarnstable. Andrew Hallet came to America in 1637 and was in Plymouth in Mar.

Page 6: null

1638/9. He was a schoolmaster and was styled a “gentleman”, a title bestowed uponfew in the Colony. He was a man “possessed of a good estate.” Hannah Hallet “diedearly”, and John Hathaway, Sr. married, (2) Elizabeth Coleman (born in Boston, Feb.28, 1651/2, daughter of Edward Coleman of Yarmouth). She was 21 years of age atthe time of her marriage to John Hathaway, Sr. and she was 34 years younger than herhusband. They removed to Yarmouth. He was intemperate and wasted his own andhis wife's estate. His will was dated Aug. 3, 1689 and was probated Feb. 15, 1696/7.In it he bequeathed to his second wife, Elizabeth, and to his sons, Thomas, John,Gideon and Edward and to daughters (names not given) of his first wife, HannahHallet; and his second wife (Elizabeth) to bestow on her two daughters. The onlynames of children that can be found are mentioned in their father's will:1. John Hathaway, Jr., born Aug. 6, 1658; by his first wife.2. Hannah Hathaway, born 1662; by his first wife.3. Edward Hathaway, born 1663 (?) if so, by his first wife. At least one more daughter by his first wife. Thomas Hathaway, first named in his father's will, but probably by his father's second wife, Elizabeth. Gideon Hathaway, probably by his second wife, Elizabeth. Two other daughters by his second wife, Elizabeth.

New England Historic & Genealogical Society

April 1929 Annual Reports

Report of the Committee on English & Foreign Research

By George Andrews Moriarty, Jr., Chairman

The Chairman wishes to call attention to certain misapprehensions regarding the foundersof this section of the country. One class of persons are obsessed with the idea that thefounders were scions of noble houses, and swallow fabricated pedigrees with the greatestof ease. Another class, among whom will be found eminent historians as James TruslowAdams and several of our distinguished biographers, assert that the founders came fromthe lower strata of English society. This view is as misleading as the other. The truth isthat the great bulk of the founders of New England came from the intelligent, self-respecting middle class known as the yeomanry, and from the shopkeepers. But therewas also a goodly percentage, and, considering the emigration as a whole, a highpercentage, of the gentleman of England. The upper classes of New England were madeup of members of the English county families, well-to-do merchants from the towns, andthe clergy, who were graduates of the two universities.

Descent from good yeoman stock is a matter for congratulation; but, other things beingequal, there is no one who would not prefer to descend from seventeenth centurygentlemen. It is, therefore, somewhat amusing to read the loud assertions by variousinvestigators that the entire emigration of New England in the sixteen thirties came fromthe lower orders of society; and their sneers at heraldry and gentility are a form ofinverted snobbery quite as amusing as that which seeks to fasten many of the honestyeomen of the seventeenth century to gentle families which which they never had orclaimed any kinship.

THE NAME, MERRICK

The name MEYRICK, or MERRICK and variously spelled, means Guardian. Themotto of the Welsh Meyricks, “Without God, nothing, God and enough”. The Merrickfamily boasts a coat of arms and a crest. The name has been traced by professionalgenealogists back to Coel Codebog, a Briton King, 262 B.C. Burke's Peerage, edition of1887, page 946, says in part:

“The Meyricks are of the purest and noblest Cambrian blood, and havepossessed the same ancestral estate at Bodorgan, Anglesey, Wales, without interruption, upwards of a thousand years. They have the rate distinctionof being lineally descended both from the Sovereign Princes of Wales of the Welsh royal family, and from King Edward I, whose eldest son was the firstPrince of Wales of the English royal family”

Nash Hathaway(#11, line #5) at the south-west corner of North Winnebago St. and Mulberry St. inRockford, Ill. He graduated from Ravenswood Grammar School, Chicago, in June 1906;attended Lake View High School, Chicago for a year and graduated from theMetropolitan Business College, Chicago in 1909. From 1910 to 1912 he was assistantcashier for the Trowbridge & Niver Co., a municipal bond house then located at suite400, First National Bank Bldg., Chicago; and he held the same position with the HanchettBond Co., an outgrowth of the above mentioned concern, located at 39 S.

April 25, 1912 with his mother, they made their homewith his mother's sister, Gertrude Lillian Hathaway Airis, (#10, line #5 sub line #1) andher husband, John Walter Alexander Airis, at 818 Haskell Ave., Rockford. Mr. And Mrs.Airis moved from Chicago to Rockford at the same time.

Three years employment with the Security Insurance Co. as assistant cashier wasfollowed by several months with the F. W. Woolworth Co.'s S. Main St. store as assistantmanager and then for the next three years he was assistant manager of the supplydepartment of the Western Department of the American Insurance Co. of Newark, NewJersey, of which his mother's first cousin, Charles Ernest Sheldon, #20-2-1, line #5, page2), was at that time and until his death on July 23, 1924, Western Department Managerand the company's Vice President. Failing to pass the physical examinations forenlistment in the army for service in the World War, and later in the draft, because of nearsightedness, he enlisted July, 1917 as a private in Company I, Tenth Regiment, IllinoisNational Guard, then known as the Home Guard. Early in August, 1917 this militiacompany was called, together with the rest of the Tenth Regiment, all of the NinthRegiment and the Eighth Regiment, (colored), for active training at Camp Lincoln,Springfield, Ill.

Lidddell on Feb. 12, 1932 and hewas employed there in various capacities as advertising manager, covering both classifiedand display advertising; Circulation Manager and Business Manager. The combinationof lack of adequate capital, multi-millionaire competition and the depression, brought anearly end to the Journal and it suspended publication in November, 1934. Leaving thatpaper in February of that year because of the failure of the Journal to pay a living wageand owed him a considerable amount in back wages, he was appointed a Deputy Assessorby the Rockford Town Board and served under Assessor Gus S. Brown during the springand early summer of the years 1934 , 1935 and 1936.

1. EDWARD CLARK MERRICK

1. CARRIE BLANCHE HATHAWAY

Edward Clark Merrick, (#4, line #1), a son of William Wells Merrick, (#8, Line#1) and Louisa Higgins Robin, (#9, Line #1) was born Apr. 22, 1854 at Boston, Mass.He was educated in Boston where he graduated from the Charlestown High School,which is located immediately across the street from Bunker Hill monument, in the classof 1872. There were 47 boys in his graduating class and in later years they held classreunions. At the reunion held in 1934 it was brought out that only four of this class werestill living. While in high school he was Cadet Captain of the First Company in themilitary training class. Of his athletic activities during his early manhood he writes,(summer of 1935) as follows:

“The principle game was baseball, in which I was greatly interested. I played thegame from the age of 12 (1866) until I was 21 or 22 (1875 or 1876) and I remember verywell how proud I was when I was invited to join a club (The Una Baseball Club) whosemembers were considerably older than I. This club was considered the best amateur clubin Boston and for three years in succession (1870-72) we won the Amateur Championshipof New England; and we traveled all over New England, playing the clubs in the variouscities. I can assure you that these were the most enjoyable days of my early life.”

He attended Harvard Medical School in 1874 where Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmeswas his professor in Anatomy; and President Elliott of Harvard University he remembersvery well. For the next nine years he was employed by a large firm of importers andwholesalers of general merchandise and in 1883 he removed, with his brother, WilliamOscar Merrick, to Rockford, Illinois, and together they opened a ladies' and gents'furnishing goods store there under the name of “Merrick Bros.” They removed thebusiness to St. Paul, Minn. In 1889, stayed there about a year, closed out the business andremoved to Chicago early in 1890. William Oscar Merrick engaged in various enterprisesin Chicago for the first few years and in 1900 he entered the printing business in which heis now (1936) engaged. Edward Clark Merrick engaged in the mortgage loan businessand operated his own office in the Reaper Block for 19 years. Closing out the business in1913 he removed to a small farm property that he bought at Wauchula, Florida, which heoperated for two years, returning to Chicago in 1915. He later entered the employ of theAetna Insurance Company of Hartford, Conn., at 1827 Insurance Exchange Bldg.,Chicago in 1917 as statistician and auditor which position he now (1936) holds.

(Nash) Hathaway, (#11, line #5), at the home of Mrs. H. W.Loomis on North Court St., Rockford, the Rev. Douglas C. Peabody of the EmanuelEpiscopal Church of Rockford, officiating. The following three newspaper stores will befound of interest:

From a Rockford newspaper (probably The Rockford Daily Gazette) of Wednesday,March 9, 1888:-

From a Rockford newspaper of March 15, 1888:-

AN IDEAL WEDDINGThe Nuptials of Edward C. Merrick and Carrie B. Hathaway---A Bride Most Fair, an Event Most Auspicious.

Forasmuch as Edward C. Merrick and Carrie B. Hathaway have consented together inholy wedlock, and have witnessed the same before God and this company, and theretohave given and pledged their troth, each to the other, and have declared the same bygiving and receiving a ring, and by joining hands, I pronounce that they are man and wife,In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.

The hour was nine o'clock last night; the scene was the Loomis residence, thespeaker was Rev. D. C. Peabody, and the words were the simple but impressive words ofthe marriage ritual according to the Episcopal church. One young lady who was presentstruck the keynote when she said: “That's what I call an ideal wedding.” It was ideal, notin the sense of elaboration or multitude of guests or gorgeousness of toilets, although thelatter was by no means lacking, but because every detail indicated the perfection of goodtaste. The handful of favored guests were gracefully received by the bride's mother, Mrs.

Page 13: null

Hathaway, and the hostess of the house, Mrs. Loomis. A bay window, banked withflowers in tasty arrangement, indicated where the pair would stand to receive the seal ofthe church upon their pledged troth. Mrs. Chandler Starr struck up Mendelsohn'sWedding March, Rev. Peabody took his station, and the wedding party came in. MissMay Loomis, the bridesmaid, leaning on the arm of W. O. Merrick, the groom's brotherand his best man; the bride followed, a vision of loveliness most refreshing to look upon,accompanied by John H. Curtis, of Chicago, who gave her away according to therequirements of the service. E. C. Merrick, the groom, entered from another room, andmet the radiant creature, whom he was soon to call his own, at the station by the baywindow. Always charming, with beauty of face than which Rockford possesses nonefairer, and with that gracefulness of heart which has shined with undisputed sway amidthe circle within which she has moved—Miss Hathaway needed not the accessories of thedressmaker's highest art to proclaim her loveliness. But adorned in the pure white of thebridal dress, she made a picture that held captive all eyes, and filled every male heart withunspeakable envy for the Young Fortunatus who stood by her side. The costume was ashort suit of white, watered silk, veiled in Chantilly lace. Her only ornament was aglistening diamond pin, the gift of one of her admiring gentlemen friends, who doubtlessallowed his envy to take this most graceful and expressive form. In her hand she carried abunch of rose buds, and wore at her breast a sprig of orange blossoms.

Second only to the lovely bride in beauty of face, and form and drapery, was thebridesmaid, Miss May Lomis. “She looked like a dream” said one. “Have you everfancied what a blossom or rare feminine loveliness H. Rider Haggard's “She” might makewhen her veil was cast aside and she stood revealed in all her supreme perfection? Thefancy struck me that Miss Loomis most worthily embodied that mystic ideal.” Allowingfor the very natural exuberance of expression of a devoted friend, the fact still remainsthat a fairer twain than the bride and her made the favoring starlight never twinkled uponin our fair city. Miss Loomis' costume was a dark green velvet skirt and bodice, withlight green drapery of surah silk. She carried a cluster of pink rose buds.

The house was made additionally attractive by a great number of fairy lamps which, withvari-colored shades, threw mellow light upon the festive scene.

And so they were wed.

The congratulations, of course they were hearty; and of the refreshments, nothing moreneed be said than that they were under the supervision of the mistress of the house, whoseskill in matters of the cuisine have won for her the reputation, if not the name, of “TheDelmonico of Rockford.” The bride and groom do not need an introduction to Rockfordpeople. Both are identified with the social life, and both have only friends to wish themwell, - no hostile hearts will speak with jealous depreciation at their present advent intothese happier realms. The bride has spent most of her life here, although for several yearsshe lived in Boston, acquiring the advantages, both educational and social, which the“Hub” affords. The groom is a member of the firm of Merrick Brothers, young andenterprising merchants, who have been steadily winning their way into increasing

Page 14: null

public favor and confidence for the last five years, until they are recognized as two of ourmost substantial and promising business men.

The array of exquisite presents indicated that excellent taste as well as an extravagantoutlay had united in their purchase. The groom gave the bride a sum of money, of whatfabulous amount no outsider may know; from the groom's father was a check for $600;from J. F. Burns, Jr., a most brilliant pin in the form of a wreath, set with ten diamonds,its monetary value undoubtedly was well up in the hundreds; a fancy folding bed, withplate glass mirror, was a gift of the groom's brother; a very handsome cabinet andbookcase combined was presented by George Hepburn, his intimate friend. There was asolid silver, gold lined, bon bon case from a relative from Lewistown, Maine, Mrs. B. E.May. This was a gem of a gift. From latter's daughter a little handkerchief, valued atonly $35. A dainty French clock, a beautiful carving set, rose jars, books, works of art,bric-a-brac of varied character, made out an array that fairly made the spectators' eyesglisten.

The wedding party lingered, , loth to leave a scene so replete with pleasant surroundingsand rosy with the halo of future delights, until the midnight hour struck. The bride andgroom left on the early morning Milwaukee train for the north. They did not lay out anydefinite route for a bridal trip, but will follow the dictates of fancy for the next two weeksor more.

They will be “At Home” after April 18, at 208 North Church Street.

From the Rockford Daily Gazette of Thursday, March 15, 1888:

CUPID'S CAPERS

---

The wedding last evening of Miss Carrie B. Hathaway toE. C. Merrick, at the home of Mrs. Loomis.

If the question were asked any time during the past five or six years as to who was thebelle of Rockford society, probably no name would have been oftener mentioned thanthat of Miss Carrie B. Hathaway. During all this time rumors have been constantly afloatthat she was to be married – now to this gentleman and now to that. So that when it wasannounced that she was to wed E. C. Merrick, on Wednesday evening, there was adiversity of opinion as to whether it was a bona fide fact or only another rumor.

The wedding, however, came off last evening and as was eminently appropriate, was anelegant affair. It occurred at the residence of Mrs. Mary Loomis, on North Court Street,in the presence of a select company of friends.

At nine o'clock, Mrs. Chan Starr seated herself at the piano and played a wedding march.The bridal party came down stairs and marched to the bay window in the parlor, whereRev. Douglas G. Peabody stood ready to perform the ceremony. The bridal couple wereattended by Miss May Loomis, who acted as bridesmaid, and Mr. W. O. Merrick, whosupported the groom. The parlor had been lavishly decorated with flowers and plants,whose bright colors seemed a brilliant prophecy for the future of the young people. Thebride was arrayed in white moire silk and chantilly lace, low neck and short sleeves,pointed in back and front, no train. She wore diamonds and a corsage of orange blossomsand carried a bunch of white roses. To say that she looked enchanting, would besuperfluous as she was always so, but certain it is that she never looked better than on herwedding night.

Page 16: null

Miss May Loomis, the bridesmaid, wore a green plush skirt, with a waist and overdressof a lighter shade of green surah, cut short, low neck, short sleeves, pointed in back and,front trimmed with gold braid. She also wore diamonds, and a corsage bouquet of pinkrosebuds, and carried an elegant fan.

The ring ceremony was used and Mr. J. H. Curtis, of Chicago, gave the bride away.

After the ceremony, a wedding supper was served. The bride and groom left this morningfor the northwest. No one knows exactly where, but St. Paul and Minneapolis areundoubtedly within the plane of the journey.

The presents were elegant, and there were lots of them. Prominent among theremembrances were a check for a thousand dollars from Mr. Merrick's father, and elegantdiamond pin, a handsome folding bed, a beautiful cabinet, and any quantity of handsomesilver tableware. A thirty-five dollar handkerchief was noticed. Numerous other prettythings were among them, but they were too many to remember.

There were present at the wedding from abroad: Mr. And Mrs. J. H. Curtis of Chicago,Miss Marie Boynton of Sycamore; Miss Matie Burton of Sterling; E. J. Cleveland ofChicago; and Mr. Flint of Boston.

Altogether the wedding was a most graceful one, and will be long remembered by thelucky few who received the invitation cards, written by the bride's own fair hand.

Mr. and Mrs. Merrick will be gone two or three weeks, when they will return and occupyapartments at Mrs. Hathaway's. May naught but sunshine lie in the path of their weddedlife.

Simeon Hathaway, Sr., (#80, line #5), son of Major Joshua Hathaway,(#160, line #5) and Mrs. Mary (Reed) Evans, (#161, line #5), was a private in the American Revolution in 1775 and was given an order for a Bounty Coat, or itsequivalent in money, for his services. He married, (1), Mar. 4, 1777, (Waltham VitalRecords), or Sept. 4, 1777, (Middlesex County Sessions), at Watertown, Mass. To Bettee(Betty or Betsey) Willington (#81, line 5), a daughter of John Willington, (#162,line #81) and Bettee (or Betsey or Betty) Warren, ( #163, line #81) the latter adescendent of Richard Warren, Mayflower Pilgrim. Bettee Willington, (wife of Simeon Hathaway, Sr.) was born Mar. 15, 1756 or 1757 at Sutton, Mass. And died May 20, 1792. Sutton Vital Records quotes her gravestone in the Ormsby (family)burial ground, “died Mar. 20, 1792, age 36” which would make her born in 1756,which is most likely correct. She died three days after the birth of her tenth child,Prudence, who was born Mar. 17, 1792. Simeon Hathaway, Sr. married (2) Lucy Burdon on June 17, 1793, (Sutton Vital Records) and the same records show the birth oftheir first child, Lucy Hathaway, on Jan 5, 1793, which must be incorrect. History ofSutton says that Simeon Hathaway's roof and chimney were blown from his house in the great September gale of 1815. Lucy Burdon was born in 1768 and bore him 11children. Family correspondence tells that both sets of children, 21 in all, lived togetherin perfect harmony under one roof and that Lucy (Burdon) Hathaway was a wonderfulmother to them all. Children:

Bettee (Willington) Hathaway, first wife, was the mother of:1 Simeon Hathaway, Jr. born Dec. 12, 1778 at Sutton Mass.2345 Salmon Hathaway, born Dec. 7, 1784; married Betsey Wordsworth.6 WARREN HATHAWAY, SR., (#40, line #5).78910 Prudence Hathaway, born Mar. 17, 1792 at Sutton, Mass.

children born between Bettee and Marshall as their dates of birthshow a lapse of time of eight years, which is very unusual for thesetimes.

James Mirick, Sr.was in Charlestown in 1636; he married, 1652 or 1653, Margaret --- , (#257, line1). He was a fisherman and cooper by trade and owned his own place of business onthe waterfront of Charlestown. If the supposition that he was born in St. Davids,Pembrokeshire, Wales, is correct, his choice of occupation is easily accounted for,as St. Davids depended entirely upon its fishing for the support of its population.In 1657 he removed to Newbury and became a farmer. The records of Charlestownshow that “James Mirick (Sr.), aged 52 years in 1664, deeded to his son, James(Jr.) in Newbury, lands situated in Newbury.” The date of his death is not foundin the records, but he died before his wife, who died Apr. 2, 1708 at Newbury.There were eight children, listed in the order of their birth:

Page 120: null

“The Education of a President”A biographer of James A. Garfield,twentieth President of the UnitedStates, writes; “The struggling,hardworking boy had developed intoa self-reliant man . . . He had savedfrom his school teaching andcarpenter work about half enough money to carry him through the two years in which he thought he could finishthe ordinary college course. He was growing old, and he determined thathe must go that fall. How to procure the rest of the needed money was amystery; but, at last, his good character, and the good will this brought him, solved the question. He was in vigorous, lusty health and alife insurance policy was easily obtained.This he assigned to a gentleman, who thereupon loaned him what money heneeded, knowing that if he lived, he wouldpay it, and if he died the policy wouldsecure it. Garfield attended WilliamsCollege, graduating in 1856. Thusdid life insurance play a part in startinghim upon a career which was finallycrowned with the Presidency. Later inlife, President Garfield, insured for $25,000 through a representative ofthe New York Life. He had paid theirfirst premium on this policy only a few months before an assassin's bulletmade him one of our martyred Presidents.”

Benjamin Chase, Sr., (#1282, line #641). Most of the information givenbelow is taken from “Some of the Descendants of William Chase of Roxbury andYarmouth, Mass.” contributed by John Carroll Chase of Derry, N.H., as compiledfor him by George Walter, Chamberlaid, M. S. of Malden, Mass. Publishedin the January 1933 number of the N.E. Hist. & Gen. Reg., vol. LXXXVII. Someadditional data has been added from other sources, including Savage and theCompendium.

Benjamin Chase, Sr., son of William Chase, Sr., ( 2564, line #641) andMary ---, , (#2565, line #641), was born in 1639 at Yarmouth and was baptizedat Roxbury, Apr. 18, 1652. He was a cooper by trade and lived at Portsmouth,R.I. and at Freetown, Mass. He married, about 1673, Philippi (spelled variously,Philippa, Philippe and Phillipi) Sherman, (#1283, line #641), daughter of theHonorable Philip Sherman, (#2566, line #1283) and Sarah Odding, (#2567, line #1283). Philippi Sherman was born Oct. 1, 1652 and was the thirteenth and last child of her parents. Benjamin Chase, Sr. was admitted freeman atPortsmouth, R.I. In May, 1674, and lived at Freetown as early as 1679 wherehe was chosen surveyor June 2, 1685, and constable June 1686 (PlymouthColony Records, vol. 6, pp. 167, 187). He was chosen assessor there in1691, and was a selectman in 1698, 1699 and 1705. On Mar. 6, 1705 he wasappointed guardian of his granddaughter, Sarah Makepeace. He and his wifejoined the Sabbatarian Church at Newport, R.I., April 17, 1717. In his will, dated Sept. 6, 1730 he bequeathed to his sons Benjamin(Jr.) and Walter, his lands at Freetown; to his grandson, Benjamin Grinnell his40 acre lot in Middleborough; to his daughter, Bethia Dunham one half of a lotin Middleborough and a cow; to his daughter, Philippe Hathaway and hisson-in-law, (Ensign) Jacob Hathaway (#640, line #5) land in Freetown,excepting a lot 3 rods square which was to be reserved for a burying place; tohis daughter, Philippe, 20 pounds and the furniture that he had moved to hisson-in-law's house; to his granddaughter, Sarah, wife of Isaac Hathaway (who was the third child and son of John Hathaway, Jr., (#1280, line #5) and HannahBurt, (#1281, line #5) one cow; and to his grandchild, Daniel Grinnell, 5 acres.(Bristol County Probate Records).

Benjamin Chase, Sr. died at Freetown, Mass. between Sept. 6, 1630, when his will was dated, and July 25, 1731. when it was proven. A list of hischildren follows.

Page 131: null

Children of Benjamin Chase, Sr. and Philippi Chase, his wife:1 Mary Chase, born about 1674. She was not mentioned in her father's will

which was dated Sept. 6, 1730. It is very likely that she was not livingat the time the will was drawn. She married Thomas Makepeace and there was at least one child, a daughter:1 Sarah Makepeace, who married, Mar. 6, 1705, Isaac Hathaway who

was a son and third child of John Hathaway, Jr., (#1280, line5) and Hannah Burt, (#1281, line #5). Sarah Makepeace'sgrandfather, Benjamin Chase, Sr., (#1282, line #641), wasappointed her guardian Mar. 6, 1705, which was the date ofher marriage and that would indicate that her mother was dead at the time, thus explaining why her mother was notmentioned in her grandfather's will. One cow was bequeathedto Sarah Makepeace.

2 There was evidently another daughter, name not given, who married a Mr.Grinnell and they had at least two children:1 Benjamin Grinnell, who was bequeathed a 40 acre lot in Middle-

borough, by his grandfather, Benjamin Chase, Sr. in hiswill dated Sept. 6, 1730.

The ancestry of the Rev. John Lothrop, (#5588, line #1397) is inconsiderable doubt. The information given below is the best available at the time of writing (December, 1935). It is doubtful if a proven lineage is everworked out, as genealogists of note disagree.

“G. H. R. D.” in the Boston Transcript of Feb. 18, 1929, says that the father of Rev. John Lothrop, (#5588, line #1397), was:

Thomas Lathrop, who married Mary --- , and that HIS father was:Robert Lathrop, who married Ellen --- , and that HIS father was:Robert de Lowthrop.

“History of Middlesex County”, by W. R. Cutter, agrees with the first twolines above, but claims that the third line should be:

John Lathrop.

“The Sterling Genealogy” says that the father of the Rev. John Lathrop(#5588, line #1397) was:

Thomas Lathrop who was of Bramshall of Leighe, Staffordshire, and thathe married Mary Salte. Mary Salte was a daughter of RobertSalte (of Yoxall and Gauch) and his wife, who was a daughter ofJohn Saint Andrews of Gotham, county of Nottingham, and thatThomas Lathrop's father was:Michael Lathrop.

“Genealogical Memoirs of the Lo-Lathrop Families”, by Rev. E. B.Huntington, says that Rev. John Lathrop, (#5588, line #1397), was a son of:

Thomas Lathrop, who resided at Etton in the Wapentake of Harthill,East Riding of Yorkshire; married Mary Salte; and that HISfather was:Robert Lathrop and that HIS father was:John Lathrop of the Parish of Cherry Burton.

Came to America in 1639 with his father ( andprobably his mother) at the age of about ten years. They landed at Boston, removing to Taunton about 1639 or 1640. Bristol County Records, vol. II, says“John Hathaway made the declaration that his knowledge of the boundaries and occupation of certain portions of the town extended as far back as 1639 or 1640”.He was about ten years of age at that period, as, according to another dipositionin the same volume, a statement he made in relation to his age, shows that hemust have been born in 1629. He took the Oath of Fidelity in 1657 and in1658 he is recorded as having “seven heads in his family”. He was made afreeman in 1670 and according to Colonial laws, “none could be admitted asfreemen but such as were 21 years of age, and had the testimony of theirneighbors that they were of sober and peaceable conversation, orthodox in thefundmentals of religion, and such as had 20 pounds ratable estate at least in theGovernment”. In 1652 John Hathaway, Sr. and the brother, James Leonard(#2588, line #647) and Henry Leonard, built the first iron foundry in PlymouthCounty at Taunton, Mass., called the Leonard Iron Works. In 1671 in consid-eration of 52 pounds, he purchased the 18th lot of the Freetown lands and thereupon established his eldest son, John Hathaway, Jr., who became one of theleading citizens of that locality. In 1676 John Hathaway, Sr. was electedConstable. Of this position, Colonial history says, “the office of Constable wasone of great responsibility and power, as representing the civil government and being the chief exponent of the law”. In 1680 he was elected a Deputy to thePlymouth General Court and served for five successive years. He is mentionedmany times in the Plymouth Court Records as serving on the Grand Jury and asbeing administrator of estates. In 1696 and 1697 he was a representative to theMassachusetts General Court (Legislature) and with this, his publicservices end. His home was in that part of Berkley known as “The Farms”.The dwelling house was situated towards the north, where, as the deed specifies,the land abuts “on the Great River”. The place is designated by an iron tableterected in 1889 by the Old Colony Historical Society. John Hathaway, Sr.married (1), in 1649 in Braintree at the age of 20, Martha Shepherd (#2561, line #5),daughter of John Shepard, Jr. (#5122, line #2560, and Margaret Squire Shepherd(5123, line #2561), and it is probable that she was the mother of all his six

William Chase, Sr., (#2564, line #641). The following are brief extractsfrom “Some of the Descendants of William Chase of Rosbury and Yarmouth, Mass.” contributed by John Carroll Chase of Derry, N.H., as compiled for himby George Walter Chamberlain, M.S., of Malden, Mass. Published in the January 1933 number of the N.E. Hist. & Gen. Reg., vol. LXXXVII. Someadditional data from other sources has been added, including Savage and theCompendium.

William Chase, Sr. was born in England about 1600. He was a carpenterby trade. He married in England before 1627, Mary ---, (#2565, line #641) and they had a son, William Chase, Jr., who was born to them in England in 1622according to one record, but another record says “as early as 1627”. They cameto America with Winthhrop (later to become Governor) and his fleet in 1630and settled at Roxbury, Mass. He also lived at Yarmouth where all but his first child were born. He was the first of the Chase name to settle in New England. William Chase, Sr. and his family lived at Roxbury from 1630 to 1638;and the following information about him and his family has been copied from therecords of the church at Roxbury, kept by Rev. John Eliot:

“William Chase, he came with the first company, 1630; he brought onechild, his son William, a child of ill qualities, and a sore affliction to his parents. He was much afflicted by the long and tedious affliction of his wife; and after his wife's recovery she bare him a daughter, who they named Maryborne aboute the middle of the 3rd month (May) 1637. He did after remove (intending) to Scituate, but after went with a company who maide a newplantation at Yarmouth.” (Roxbury Church Records, pp. 73-74).

“Mary Chase, the wife of William Chase. She had a paralitik humorwich fell into her backbone, so yet she could not stir her body, but as she waslifted, and filled her with great torture, & caused her backbone to go out ofjoynt, & bunch out from the beginning to the end of wich infirmity she lay4 years & a halfe, & a great part of the time a sad spectakle of misery: Butit pleased God to raise her againe, & she bore children after it.” (Ib., p. 75).

William Chase was named, Oct. 19, 1630, among those (who desire tobe made freemen;” and he was made a freeman of the Massachusetts Bay

Page 203: null

Colony on May 14, 1634. (Reg. Vol. 3, pp. 90, 92). “In 1639 he moved toYarmouth on Cape Cod, was appointed constable for the town of Yarmouth by the General Court of the Plymouth Colony, Mar. 5, 1638/9, and took the oath ofoffice June 4, 1639.” (Plymouth Colony Records, vol. 1, pp. 118, 125).

“His life at Yarmouth was not a peaceful one . . . (was censured forcertain actions, disagreements – evidently inclined to be self-important – briefauthority). Carpenter by trade . . built house for Dr. Thomas Starr which wassold to Andrew Hallet. (Swift's History of Yarmouth, p. 29) in 1642 mortgagedto Stephen Hopkins (Mayflower Pilgrim) as security for debt of 5 pounds “his house and lands in Yarmouth containing eight acres of upland and six acres more laying at the Stony Cove.” (Plymouth Colony Deeds, vol. 1, p. 83).

At the General Court held at Plymouth, June 6, 1654, the Great Enquest”presented “William Chase, Senr. Of Yarmouth for driving one pair of oxen inthe yoke upon the Lords day, in time of exercise, about five miles.” (Ib. vol.3, p. 52).

“The estate of John Derby of Yarmouth was indebted to William Chase, Feb. 22, 1655 (Mayflower Desc. Vol. 14, p. 112). William Chase was asurveyor of highways in Yarmouth 1657. Will dated May 4, 1659 and witnessedby Richard Hoar and Mary Dennis: To my son BENJAMINE . . . one heifercalfe and 2 steer calves. “To my son William who hath had of mee alreddy a goodportion the sume of five shillings . . .

Said to have had 4 children by each wife and that his second wife wasElizabeth Holder, but this has been proved to have been impossible in a comparison of ages . . . She was born in 1664 in Newport, R.I. Noother Holder family has been found in New England before 1700.William Chase, Jr. was “a child of ill qualitys, & a sore affliction tohis parents.” From Record of General Court held at Plymouth, Mar. 6,1654/5: “William Chase, Junr. For goeing into the house of Richard Berry and taking away by violence a p'cell of flax and a smale p'cellof hose yarns, was sentenced to sitt in the stockes an houre on a training day att Yarmouth.” (vol. 3, p. 74). He lived near Herringriver, on the East side of Bass river in Old Yarmouth, in the part which is now either Dennis or Harwich. His estate settled by orderof the General Court June 2, 1685.

He was appointed a freeman May 14, 1634, his name being firston the list of freemen after that of Governor Haynes. During the AnneHutchinson troubles in Boston he took the popular side but Governor Winthrop prevailed and Philip Sherman was disarmed in November, 1637, andwas banished from the Colony a year later. He found it convenient to moveto what is now the state of Rhode Island which Roger Williams who at thattime (1637) was at Providence, advised purchasing from the Indians and thatpurchase was completed Mar. 24, 1638. On July 1, 1639 a regular governmentwas established of which Coddington was chosen Governor and Philip Shermanwas made Secretary (and possibly, Recorder) of what was called the ProvidencePlantation”. After this he frequently held office in the Colony, and havingintelligence, wealth and influence, was considered and consulted by those inauthority. Early records left by him show him to be an educated man. “Hewas a devout, but determined man”. In remaining in Rhode Island he leftthe Congregational Church and joined the Society of Friends. He was a member of the Court of Commissioners, 1656; Deputy to the General Court (Legislature),1665-1667 and member of the Council during King Philip's War. He marriedin America, Sarah Odding, (#2567, line #1283), a daughter of George Odding and Margaret --- . George Odding died and his widow married, (2) John Porter.

Willington - “This family claims descent from the youngest son of the very ancient and noble family of Willington of Umberleigh, county Devon,England; afterwards of Castle Willington, county Tipperary, Ireland.”

Roger Willington, (#2592, line #81) was born about 1609 or 1610 inEngland. He was one of the first settlers of Watertown, Mass. The familyname was spelled “Willington” in England and in Ireland, and was sospelled by Roger Willington, which is proved by his signature; and was sospelled by our branch of the family, but the eastern branch changed it to“Wellington”, beginning with Roger Willington's children. RogerWillington's first home was on the site of Mt. Auburn cemetery. He was aplanter; was a selectman many times from 1678 to 1691, meetings beingrecorded as held at “Father Willington's”. He was admitted a freeman in1690, the same day as were two of his sons, Benjamin and Palgrave.

1 John Wellington, note change in spelling of last name), born July 25, 1638;lived in Cambridge; married Susannah Straight, a daughter of CaptainThomas Straight; probably had no children. Bond says he was a freeman in 1677, but this means no more than that he took the Oath of Allegiance, for he was not admitted a freeman. He made his will Jan. 4, 1715, and died Aug. 23, 1726. His widow diedJan. 27, 1729.

(2595) ISABEL ---

Thomas Swoetman, Sr., (#2594, line #1297) was born in England in1609 and came to America about 1645. He was a weaver. The name, Swoetman,Sweetman or Swetman, and variously spelled, is Flemish. England introducedmaster weavers from the Netherlands along in the 1500's., the Swoetman family among them. Thomas Swoetman, Sr. lived in Cambridge, Mass., a suburb ofBoston, on the present site of Harvard College and he died Jan. 8, 1682, aged 72.His wife was Isabel --- , (#2595, line #1297) and she received alms from the church from 1691 (nine years after her husband's death) until the day of herdeath, Dec. 12, 1709, a period of about 18 years. No explanation can be foundfor this situation and it seems strange in view of the fact that she had severalchildren living at the time of her death, who were of adult age. Thomas Swoetman was a freeman, dated, according to Savage, May 2, 1638, but as this date isbefore he is recorded as having come to America, it is thought to be in error,unless the date of his arrival, “about 1645” is incorrect. There were at least sixchildren, and Savage says, “there may also be three other children”. All werebaptized except Thomas Swoetman, Jr., (fifth child). Savage lists the childrenin the following order:

In theChamberlain Collection in the Boston (Massachusetts) Public Library is anancient letter from Governor Bradford to Governor Winthrop, dated Plymouth,Feb. 6, 1631/2 – extract quoted:

“We have therefore given warnings to all our people not to receiveany as servants . . . but to acquaint us first therewith that we may inquire oftheir certificates of dismission . . . Richard Church came likewise as asojourner to work for ye present. However, he is still heare residentslonger than he purposed, and what he will doe, neither we nor I thinkehimselfe knows, but if he resolve heare to stay, we shall require of him toprocure a dismission, but he did confirm to us at the first that he was one ofMr. Webb's men and free to go to England, or whither he would, ye whichye rather believe because he came to us from Wessagasscusett upon ye fallingout with his partner”.

In the Pilgrim Republic”, Goodwin says: “But Church knew that he wouldstay in Plymouth and join his fortunes with those of Richard Warren's orphaneddaughter, Elizabeth Warren”. Note – Richard Warren was dead (he died in 1628),but her mother, Elizabeth (---) Warren was alive). Richard Church married,1635 or 1636, Elizabeth Warren, (#2613, line #653), daughter of Richard Warren, (#5226, line #2613) and Elizabeth --- , (#5227, line #2613). ElizabethWarren was born in England and came to America in 1623 with her motherand her four sisters in the “Ann”. Richard Church was a carpenter and was one of the designers and builders of the first regular church edifice in Plymouthin 1649 and was at Charlestown in 1653 “and for final residence, sat down at Hingham in 1657”, says Savage. Giving evidence at Sandwich, Aug. 25, 1664, hecalled himself 56 years old and he made his will at Hingham, Dec. 25, 1668 (O.S.).He died two days later, Dec. 27, 1668, aged over 60, at Dedham, Mass. And wasburied at Hingham. His will provided for his widow, Elizabeth, and equal portions to all his children, without naming them except that Joseph, on accountof his lame hand, should have a double portion. His widow died at Hingham,

Page 223: null

Mass. Mar. 9, 1669 or Mar. 4, 1670. “To name their children”, says Savage, “in order, is not easy, perhaps not all of them with confidence”. Savage liststhem in the following order:1 Joseph Church, who had a lame hand, and because of that he received a

double portion of his father's estate.2 Colonel Benjamin Church, born 1639; grew up in his father's trade, a

carpenter, but instinctively allied himself to the martial family ofSouthworth, his wife being Alice Southworth, a daughter of ConstantSouthworth and a grand-daughter of Mrs. (Governor ) Bradford.Goodwin in his “Pilgrim Republic” has the following to say about Benjamin Church: “A year before the war he was making forhimself a home at Saconet. At the peace he became a pioneer ofBristol, on the Mount Hope lands, but finally returned to Saconet, whichlater became “Little Compton”. He was made a local magistrateand represented his town in the Plymouth legislature, and after itsunion, in that of Massachusetts. He refused a military commission under the tyrant, Androe, but in 1689 he went against the Maine Indians as Major, commander in chief of the united troope of Massachusettsand Plymouth. At the end of the campaign, Plymouth gave him 42 pounds as her share of his salary, but Massachusetts shamefullyrefused to pay her part. In 1690 he was persuaded to go again, but was poorly supported and an officer of equal rank was placed over him by Massachusetts, which colony once more refused to pay her share ofhis pay and expenses. He was so destitute after reaching Boston thathe was forced to beg his lodging from Captain Alden until he could send to his brother for a horse. The officers, whom he had held sharply to their duty, spread slanderous reports about him, and these were greedilyreceived at Boston; but on reaching Plymouth, Church at once dissipatedthe malicious tales. Plymouth, in her great poverty from the War, gavehim 14 English pounds, but owing to the disregard of his claims byMassachusetts, he could only meet his debts incurred for recruitingand sustenance by selling a portion of his land at a sacrifice. This treatment cut Church to the heart; yet in 1692, as the danger grew, Governor Phippe was able to enlist his services one more. On his return, Massachusetts, now a province, paid his last wages (it musthave cost her a pang), but ignored her previous debts to him. In 1698Church again raised a force for Maine and returned with valuablecaptures of cannon, stores and peltry. Massachusetts took to herselfthis prize-of-war and paid the soldiers their bare wages. The GeneralCourt once voted to dismiss them with half pay, but Governor Stoughtonindignantly visited the hall and procured a reconsideration. Still, Churchwas left to pay his own recruiting expenses. So late as 1704, Church,then a Colonel, conducted a vigorous campaign against the Maine hostiles. His force of 1200 men, including several Plymouth Indians,operated in whale boats along the coasts and rivers. Once more the

Page 224: null

Massachusetts Court haggled over his pay, but finally gave him hiswages, with a vote of thanks, and munificently added the pittance of15 pounds, English, toward his expenses in raising troops. Churchhad a contempt for meanness and imbecility, and by making enemiesof mean and little men, suffered the indignities and losses whichtheir secret slanders could induce from men far better than themselves.Long after his death, the generation which then ruled Massachusetts,(1734), sought to make some atonement for the sins of their fathersby giving his heirs 500 acres of land near his old home. In 1718, Church, then 78 years old, was living in peace and honor on his farm at Little Compton, where his ancient friends, the Scant,dwelt around him in the habits of civilization. Hearing that his sister's only son had died while abroad, he mounted his horse and paid her (Mrs. John Irish, Jr.), a visit of condolence. While returning,his horse stumbled and the venerable Colonel received injuries whichsoon proved fatal. His wife survived but a year. They left five sons andtwo daughters. Their widespread posterity should enthusiasticallyjoin in crowning of Saconet Heights with a far seen monumentworthy of their great ancestor, so loyal and loving, heroic and wise -“the Myles Standoffish of the second generation”. Other children ofRichard Church and Elizabeth Warren were:

quoting from Winsor: “ as his second wife”; though another author,giving the date of this marriage as May, 1708, calls her “Priscilla”.

“Captain Thomas Wheeler and some of his descendants” , by HomerW. Brainard, A. B. of Hartford, Conn., appearing in the July, 1935, issue of“The American Genealogist and New Haven Genealogical Magazine”, givesthe following information: “Bedfordshire is a county of south Midlands(England). It has always been agricultural. No large cities mar its rural landscapes. Near its western border, about equally distant from the northern and southern endsof the county, lie the small rural parishes of Marstone Mortaine and Cranfield.Families bearing the name of Wheeler have lived in these parishes from the fifteenth century and perhaps from an earlier date. It is supposed that they were first at Marston Mortaine, going thence to Cranfield. This parish is distant some eight or nine miles southwest from Bedford, the county town, and ten miles south of Odell, the parish where the Reverand Peter Bulkeley officiated beforehe became the minister of Concord, Mass., in 1635”.

“About 1600 three men named Wheeler were living in Cranfield, marriedand having families. These were Thomas, John, and Richard, “the younger”implies an older Richard. We know not how they were related. Thomas and John may have been brothers”.

In “King Philip's War”, by Ellis and Morris, pp. 84-97,is a good account of these events, leading up to the ambuscadeand mortal wounding of Capt. Hutchinson, and the relief of thesurvivors. It is doubtless mainly based upon Capt. Wheeler'sfamous narrative.” He died about 1675 and his “TrueNarrative” was a historical account of the highest value. It has been called “An Epic of Struggle of the Indian warfare anda literary event in the Wars of the Lord.” Children of CaptainThomas Wheeler and Ruth Wheeler, his wife:1 Thomas Wheeler, born before 1650; died Jan. 9, 1676/7.

John Putnam, Sr., (#2640, line #165), son of Nicholas Puttenham andMargaret (Goodspeed) Puttenham, was born at Aston Abbotts, near Aylesbury,County Bucks, England, in 1583. Family tradition has the name of a place in County Warwick, where it is unknown. David Starr Jordan, in his book,“Your Family Tree”, says that John Putnam was baptized at Wingrave, CountyBucks, England, on Jan. 17, 1579 of 1580. He married, 1611, Priscilla Deacon,(#2641, line #165). Three sons, Thomas, Nathaniel and John, Jr., were allbaptized, according to one reference, between 1612 and 1627 at Aston Abbotts, although Savage says that John, Jr. was born in 1630. These three brothers,together with their three sisters, Sarah, Elizabeth and Phoebe, and theirparents, came to Salem, Mass. From England, according to Farmer, in 1641, although the Abridged Compendium and Savage both say it was in 1640.John Putnam, Sr. settled at Salem where he received a grant of land at SalemVillage near Danvers, Mass. He became the principal land owner there, was afarmer, a mistake, though it is true that he was received that year into the church,as had been his wife in 1641. John Putnam died Dec. 30, 1662, at Danvers,Mass. There were six children, not listed, as far as is known, in the orderof their birth:

1 Sarah (or Sara) Putnam, born in England; came to America in 1640 or1641 with her parents and 2 sisters and 3 brothers.

John Atkinson, Sr., (#2790, line #1395), was born about 1640 inEngland; came to Boston and removed to Newbury, Mass. In 1663. Hemarried, 1664, Sarah Mirick (Meyrick, Merrick), (#2791, line #1395), daughter of John Mirick, (#512, line #1) and Elizabeth ( --- ) Mirick,(#513, line #1). According to the Merrick (printed) Genealogy, she cameto America with her four brothers (one of whom was James Mirick, Sr.,(#256, line #1) our emigrant ancestor), in the “James” in the spring of1638, and married John Atkinson in 1646. There is some basis for this marriage date because their daughter, Jane Atkinson, (#1395, line #697)married Thomas Cheney, (#1394, line #697) and this latter couple's daughter,Jane Cheney, (#697, line #87) was born June 5, 1667, which was about twenty-three years after her grand-parent's marriage date; and that is a reasonable length of time. To offset this, however, John Atkinson, Sr. andSarah Mirick, his wife had another child, a son, John Atkinson, Jr. who was born 1666/7. All sources of the above data seem to be authentic, however, furtherresearch is necessary. John Atkins, Sr. and Sarah Mirick, his wife, had severalchildren, of whom I have a record of two:1 JANE ATKINSSON, (#1395, line #697).2 John Atkinson, Jr., born 1666/7, married (1), Sarah Woodman (b. 1670),

John Lothrop,(#5588, line #1397) and an “unknown” first wife, (#5589, line #1397) who who died in 1623; was born in England in 1621, according to “GenealogicalNotes on Barnstable Families”, by Otis. “N.D.K.” in the Boston Transcript,August 26, 1935, writes that “Hannah Howse (House) was the first wife of Rev.John Lothrop. She had a sister, Penninah Howse, who married Robert Linnell(Lynnell) and the two girls were daughters of Rev. John Howse who died atEastwell, county Kent, England, Aug. 30, 1630. The above is taken from the Register, vol. 66, pp. 356/7; vol. 89, p. 284, and vol. 67, pp. 260/1”. The following quotation is from the record of Rev. John Lothrop as found inLathrop Family Memoirs”, p. 34: “son Thomas and brother Larnett's daughter, widow Ewer, were married in the Bay (Boston), Dec. 11, 1639”. “O. M.” in theBoston Transcript says: “Mrs. Sarah (Linnell) Ewer, (#2795, line #1397), daughterof Robert Linnell, (#5590, line #2795) and Penninah Howse, (#5591, line #2795),married, (2), at Barnstable, Mass., Dec. 11, 1639, Thomas Lothrop, Sr. (hercousin, although she was 14 years his senior and she with four children atthat time), eldest son of the Rev. John Lothrop. Thomas Lothrop, Sr. was born in England in 1621 and he joined his father's church in America May 14, 1637and died in 1701”. Sarah Linnell, (#2795, line #1397), was born in England in 1604 or 1607 (probably the latter), married, (1), in England, Thomas Ewer, a tailor,and they came to America in 1635 with their two children, Elizabeth and Thomas. Two other children born to them in America were Sarah and John.

There has always been a controversy as to whether Sarah Linnell (Lynnell) was a daughter of Robert Lynell or a daughter of William Learned,caused, undoubtedly, by the fact that the name Linnell was spelled in many waysin those days – Linnett, Larnett, which could seem to be Larned, and so gives color to the William Larned idea. Otis, in “Barnstable Families” and Swift's “Barnstable”both say she was Sarah Linnell, daughter of Robert and Penninah (House) Linnell.The Learned Genealogy, page 18 says: “A Sarah Leonards daughter of WilliamLeonards, was baptized at Ware, England, Sept. 30, 1604. She married inEngland, Jan. 13, 1623/4 Thomas Ewer, a tailor and came with him and their twochildren to this country in the “James”, June, 1635. He was then 40, she 28:(if so, then she was born in 1607 instead of 1604); their daughter Elizabeth, their son, Thomas 1-1/2. (Hatten's List of Emigrants”, p. 88). Regardless of herancestry, she was admitted to the church in Charlestown, Mass., Dec. 12, 1635and her first husband, Thomas Ewer, was admitted Jan. 3, 1635/6 and he died in1638.

THE WELSH ANCESTRY OF JAMES MIRICK

From the MERRICK GENEALOGY, by George B. Merrick

The deductions noted below regarding the probable origin of JAMES MIRICKwere made by Rev. Edward A. Mirick of the John Mirick branch of the family, fromfamily traditions, historical gleanings from “Burke's Landed Gentry,” Doon's“Visitation of of Pembrokeshire” edited by Sir Samuel Rhys Meyrick, and from other sources. The date of birth of Rt. Rev. Roland Mirick is historical;the other dates are based upon a computation of 33 years to the generation, which in actual comparison of a long line of Miricks has been found to hold good.While many of the conclusions are reached by deduction, nothing is stated whichmight not reasonably be considered as not only possible, but very probable.His deductions are to be found on this page and also on pages 2048, 1024 and 512.

(4096) MEURIC AP LLEWELLYN

(4097) MARGARET AP ROLAND

Meuric ap Llewellyn, Captain of the guard at the coronation ofKing Henry VIII, Apr. 15, 1509. His will is dated 1538. He marriedMargaret, daughter of Roland who was Rector of Aberffraw, Anglesey, Wales.Meuric ap Llewellyn's castle at Bedorgan, Anglesey, Wales, and the sameancestral estate have been possessed, without interruption upwards of athousand years. Burke's Peerage is authority for this ancestor of the Merrickfamily. It is not known how many children they had, but there is a record offour sons:2 Rt. Rev. Roland Mirick, second son of Meuric, born 1505 at Llangadwaladr,

Wales. He was made Bishop of Bangor, which office he held from 1559 to 1563, when he died. Bangor is in North Wales, just across the narrow strait (Menai Strait) which separates the island of Anglesey fromthe main land. During his incumbency of the Bishopric he had his younger brother, Rev. Edmund Mirick, L.L.D. as his arch deacon.

(5120) NICHOLAS HATHAWAY

(5121) --- ---

Three distinct lines of Hathaways came to America abut 1639.They were: (1) Nicholas, (ours); (2), Arthur, who settled atMarshfield and afterward removed to Dartmouth; and (3) John.They probably came from Wales and may have been brothers, but this has not been proved. It is thought that John may have beenthe one of Blessing fame who settled in Berkley, though thathas not been determined. See page headed, “The Emigrant Hathaways” in the fore part of this book.

Nicholas Hathaway, (#5120, line #5), was born probably in Wales,though possibly in England, came to Boston, Mass. About 1639 with his son,John Hathaway, Sr. who was then about ten years old. They went to Taunton,Mass. About 1639 or 1640. In Braintree Records, Nicholas Hathaway had aland grant for four heads, Dec. 24, 1639/40. Two of these would be for Nicholas and for his son, John Sr. and it would look as though the other twomight have been for Arthur and for “John of Barnstable”. There apparentlyis no record of Nicholas Hathaway's wife. In the “Old Colony HistoricalSociety Collections” there is an article entitled, “The Early Hathaways ofTaunton” from which is taken the following: “Nicholas Hathaway was oneof the first settlers of Taunton. Of his previous history nothing is known,except what may be learned from notices of him contained in the records ofBoston which show that he sojourned there for a season and purchased landin the vicinity before purchasing land in Taunton. A tradition has come downfrom past generations that he was a native of Wales, but that remains to beauthenticated.” There were at least three children, sons:

(5226) RICHARD WARREN

(5227) ELIZABETH --- .

Richard Warren, (#5226, line #2613), was probably from Essex, althoughvery possibly from Kent, England. His name is on the Mayflower passage listfrom London to Southampton, joining the Mayflower there when it set sail forAmerica on Sept. 6, 1620. He was over 45 when he came to America and his true ancestry is very much in doubt, in fact very little is know of him. England was alive with Warrens in the 1600's and there were many Richard Warrens.Professional genealogists have about given up hope of ever tracing his true lineage.His occupation is thought to have been that of a farmer. He left his wife,Elizabeth --- , (#5227, line #2613), and his five daughters, all of whom were bornin England, in England and they came to America in 1623. Richard Warrenwas the 12th signer of the “Mayflower Compact” and participated in the “ThirdExploration” that resulted in a fight with the Indians on Dec. 17 and 18, 1620,at a place that has since been described as “The First Encounter”. In 1650Governor Bradford wrote his “Journal of the Pilgrims” and says in regard to thedivision of cattle in 1627, “the ninth lot fell to Richard Warren and his companie”and “to this lott fell one of the four black Heyfers that came in the “Jacob”, andtwo shee goats”. In 1627 only 42 of the 99 persons who reached Plymouth onthe Mayflower (some references say that there were 101 and others say there were 102), were still living there. In Bradford's list, published in his book,(above referred to) only ten male persons, including Richard Warren, had theright to use the prefix, “Mr.” before their names. Richard Warren joined the Leydon Pilgrims in July, 1620 at Southampton when the Mayflower and the Speedwellmade their first attempts to sail for America. He was known in America as “thegrave Mr. Warren.”. He died in 1628, and Secretary Morton, who knew him well, said of him, “He was a useful instrument, and during his life bore a deepshare in the difficulties and troubles of this first settlement”. His wife,Elizabeth --- , came to America in 1623, together with their five daughters, she at the supposed age of 43, having been born, according to some references, in1580. She is said to have been 48 when her husband died in 1628, and she lived45 years after he died, making her 93 when she died on Oct. 12, 1673. Savagesays that she was 90 when she died, but he agrees with the above date of herdeath. When she was borne up Burial Hill, it was entered upon the Colonialrecords that she, “having lived a Godly life, came to her grave as a shock ofcorn, fully ripe”. There were two sons born to them after their arrival inAmerica. It should be remembered that various historical works disagree in

Page 273: null

considerable detail regarding Richard Warren, particularly about dates and the number of his children, but the above data is thought to be authentic. Savagelists their children in the order given below, and while this does not coincideentirely with the famous Warren Genealogy, Savage claims that he has everyreason to believe his arrangement is correct. He lists the five daughters and two sons as follows:1 Mary Warren, came to America with her mother and four sisters in

1623; married, 1628, Robert Bartlett, (1603-1676) who came fromEngland to Plymouth Colony in the “Anne” in 1623. They had atleast four children, not listed here in the order of their birth:1 Benjamin Bartlett, (1638-1691); married, 1658, Sarah Brewster
