(Derby) Emigrated with his wife Alice and four children, settling in Salem, now Danvers, in the vicinity of Whipple and Hathorne's hill.

Hutchinson, Richard (I2238)

454

(Derby) In 1636, Mr. Hutchinson received a grant of 60 acres of land from the town, and Apr. 3, following, 20 acres more. In the same year he was appointed on a committee to survey Jeffrey's Creek (now Manchester), and Mackerell Cove. April 17, 1637, it was voted "that in case Ric'd Huchenson shall sett up plowing within 2 years he may bane 20 acres more to bee added to his pportion." This appears to be in consequence of the great scarcity of ploughs, there being but thirty-seven in all the settlements.

Hutchinson, Richard (I2238)

455

(Derby): In 1648, at Salem Village, he bought of Elias Stileman, his farm of 150 acres, for £15. The records do not show him to have been officially engaged in many matters of public trust, but he was undoubtedly a man of indomitable perseverance, great vigor of mind and physical endurance, a strict disciplinarian in religious affairs, a thorough agriculturist, and as he had amassed a large landed estate, he had, before the close of his life, divided much of his property among his children.

Joseph Bemis 2d (1. Joseph.) This son of the immigrant, the first to arrive at manhood, m. Anna---and removed to Westminster, Mass; then called Narragansett No. 2. In 1740, his son, probably Philip, "Disposed of all right and title to the property of my honored father and mother, Joseph and Anna Bemis, to my brother Joseph and sister Mary of Cambridge." (p. 542. Hist. of Westminster Mass. by William S. Haywood.) As we know that Joseph's wife was Anna, and that he went to Westminster to live, it proves that he was the son of Joseph Bemis the immigrant. The records of the towns of Westminster and Watertown do not furnish any data of an intervening generation, and the author therefor assumes there was none. Joseph Bemis, or Bemish so spelt, was a soldier in King Philips War as evidenced from the following entries in Bodge "Soldiers in King Phillips War" p. 176. Joseph Bemish credited under Capt. James Oliver, for services Mar. 24, 1675-6. £2. 149. p. 376. The same soldier received £2. sro. p. 147. Under a list of the Grantees of Narragansett No. 2. now Westminster, Mass, appears Joseph Beames, deceased, claimed by his son Joseph Beames. Grant made about Oct. 17, 1733. In 1700, the son of the Narragansett settler, Joseph 3d was aided by a contribution "having had his substance consumed by fire."

COMMENTS: In addition to the correlations of names and dates for Esther and Joseph, there are other indications that the four baptisms in Stisted apply to the immigrant family. Stisted was the parish of origin of Rev. SAMUEL STONE, who had come to Cambridge in 1633 [GMB 3:1768-73). Daniel Champney, son of RICHARD CHAMPNEY, had son Noah born at Cambridge 27 September 1677.

(From Glenn's letter, 8 July 2008)

I am one of the few McCalls of my generation to live out of the area which would include Martinsville, Danville and Roanoke. I left Franklin County at age 18 for four years in the air force as a control tower operator and approach controller. Enjoyed the work and was offered the job in New York when I was discharged but had no desire nor money to go there. Went to UVA instead. After college, I moved to Columbia, SC for 5 years as a National Bank Examiner. Then worked for Chrysler Corp. as a District Sales Manager in Jacksonville, FL (3 years) and Ft. Lauderdale, FL ( 6 years). At least I gave my family some place to visit and I do mean visit when I lived in Ft. Lauderdale.

Moved back to VA and worked in one of the banks in Rocky Mount, VA for almost 10 years. Was offered the job as CEO of the bank in Waverly, VA and took it. Have been here almost 23 years. Retired in 1998 and have enjoyed each and every moment of it .

(I) John Hall, the progenitor of this branch of the Halls, came from Coventry,
England, in 1630, and settled at Charlestown, Massachusetts Bay, New England. He
afterwards married a Larned (Miss Bertha, says one authority) and settled at
Yarmouth on Cape Cod, where twelve sons were born to them, seven of whom, namely
John, Gersham, William, Joseph, Nathaniel, Elijah, and Benjamin, the late Rev.
David Hall, D.D., of Sutton, said he had seen, and two of whom were alive in
1733, aged about eighty years.

(I) Jonathan Cary and James, his brother, were undoubtedly nearly related to John Cary, of Plymouth, and James Cary, of Charlestown, who came to Massachusetts eighty odd years before; but as the exact connection cannot be traced authentically in this country, and as no relationship has ever been claimed, their descendants prefer that they should be considered as the head of a separate and distinct family in America. The connecting link can be found only in the mother country, and will be an interesting study for some of their descendants. We know they all came from Bristol, England, or its immediate vicinity. It has always been the tradition in that branch of the Cary family of which Jonathan Cary “ye third” was the progenitor, that he, with his brother James, came from the West of England (where the best of broadcloth was made) aged about twenty-five years. The two brothers
landed at Charlestown, Massachusetts, probably about the years 1722-23.

(II) William Goodhue, son of William Goodhue (l), was born at Ipswich, Massachusetts, 1645. He was captain of the military company of the town, and deacon of the church at Chebacco, of which Rev. John Wise was pastor. He was at various times selectman and deputy to the general court. He was a leader of the famous revolt against the royal governor in 1687. An attempt had been made by Sir Edmund Andros and his government to collect a tax of one penny per pound in the Massachusetts Bay colony. That tax was in violation of the charter of the colony and of the British constitution, both of which guaranteed to English citizens the right of representation in any legislative body imposing a tax upon the people.

The Ipswich citizens led by their minister, Mr. Goodhue, and John Andrews, proposed in town meeting to resist the payment of this tax and were thrown into prison by Andros, together with Robert Kinsman, John Appleton and Robert French, other leading citizens, denied the privilege of giving bail, tried, convicted of contempt and high misdemeanor and kept in the jail twenty days longer. Rev. John Wise was suspended from the ministerial function and fined fifty pounds. William Goodhue was fined twenty pounds. This outrage on the minister and deacon of the Chebacco Church was amply revenged a few years later, when Andros was given some of his own medicine. Deacon Goodhue was highly respected and honored by his townsmen, eminently useful and greatly beloved.

He lived on a farm which his father bought for two hundred and sixty-five pounds, September 10, 1666, and in turn he deeded it to his son William as a gift May 1, 1686. The town made him a grant of land as an indemnity for the losses and injuries he sustained from the action of Governor Andros. He died October 12, 1712, and was buried at Chebacco, where his grave is marked by a headstone.

He married, November 14, 1666, Hannah Dane, daughter of Rev. Francis Dane, of Andover, Massachusetts. Their children were: William, born November 13, 1667; Nathaniel, born August 4, 1670, of whom later; Hannah, born July 4, 1673; Josiah, born March, 1676; Francis, born October 4, 1678 (H. C. 1699), died 1707 unmarried; Elizabeth; John, born August 28, 1681, died September 19, 1685; Margery, born August 12, 1685; John, born August 12, 1685 (twins); Mary; Bethiah.

(III) Lieutenant Paul Raymond, son of William (2) Raymond, was born at Beverly, January 22, 1695, died in 1759.He was a lieutenant in a military company. He married, February 28, 1717,Tabitha, daughter of Freeborn Balch. They were dismissed from the First Church of Salem to the church at Bedford, Massachusetts, April 4. 1736. The first five children were born at Salem and baptized in the First Church there, and others were born at Bedford. Children: Elizabeth, baptized April 9, 1721; Mary, baptized March 10, 1723; William,mentioned below; Edward, baptized December 17, 1728; Paul, baptized May 17,1730; Lucy, born August 7, 1737; Nathan, born February 29, 1740; Tabitha, born September 19, 1743.

(JBM January 2020) - I have unlinked Ebenezer "of Leicester" from the Boston Warrens - Peter and John. It's now clear, from research and DNA, that Ebenezer was born in 1719 in Weston, and not 1714 in Charlestown. Generations of researchers have followed the lead from this Warren-Wheeler statement and never found any records to connect this Ebenezer as a grandson of Peter Warren of Boston (b 1628).

[Wheeler-Warren, pg. 63] Ebenezer Warren first appears in Leicester in 1744, at which time he bought of Patrick Watson for £112 10s., three acres of land with a dwelling house, bark-house, mill-house, beam-house and tanyard. The land comprised a portion of the farm now owned by Edward Warren. In the deed conveying the property he is styled "of Medford," but the records of that town contain no account of him, and it is probable that his residence there had been of short duration. It is not positively known who his parents were. There is, however, little doubt that he was a grandson of Peter, of Boston. Joseph Warren, of Leicester, grandson of Ebenezer, made a written statement that the latter was born in Charlestown in 1714. This statement is not substantiated by the records of Charlestown, but no evidence has been found to refute it. Very little is known of his life and character beyond the fact that he was a man of intelligence and of good repute. He was evidently quite successful in business, as he added largely to his possessions, owning, a few years before his death, about one hundred acres of land, besides his dwelling-house and tanyard building, He died in 1800 and was buried in Leicester, but no gravestone marks the spot."

"He married Lydia Harrington, of Brookfield, Mass. Nothing is known concerning her, excepting that she became insane and it was found necessary to secure her with a chain, fastened to a bolt in the kitchen, to prevent her from running away. She died in 1795. The dwelling-house named in the deed was a small, one-story building situated on the north side of the road to Spencer, a short distance east of the road to Paxton. The tanyard was on the opposite side of the road, a little farther east. About the year 1780 he built a new house a short distance east of the old one. It was larger than the first, two stories high, with an ell of one story in the rear. Upon the death of Ebenezer the house descended to his son Elijah, and from him to his son Henry Elijah, by whom it was demolished about the year 1860."

(JBM note, Nov 2006) Apparently Thomas had the wanderlust. He came to the US in November 1864, again in August 1865. His whereabouts was often unknown, as was his time and place of death. He emigrated from England to Australia and after 1870 was never heard from again. (From notes in Wm B. Brierly's files).

Kendall, Peirce or Pierce, and Parker : A Correction. [Register, 39: 17.]—Elizabeth Kendall (Francis1) did not marry James Pierce, but married first, as the second wife, Ephraim Winship (Edward1) of Lexington, Nov. 9, 1675.— Lex. Rec. The error about James Pierce appears in Sewall’s Woburn, p. 619. She married second, Joseph Peirce (Anthony,2 John1), June 15, 1698, as his second wife. F. C. P., Peirce Genealogy, p. 27; Bond’s Watertown, 394; Hudson’s Lexington, 268; Paige’s Cambridge, 695, 696. It is not necessary to go beyond printed authorities to prove it, as, for instance, the following memorandum connected with the settlement of Ephraim Winship’s estate, and quoted by Paige (Hist. Camb., 696) and others: “His honored father-in-law, Mr. Francis Kendall, of Woburn, in said county, demands these following debts, viz.: that his son-in-law, Ephraim Winship, in the time of the former war, called Philip’s War, came to his house for shelter, for fear of the Indians, because his living was then in the woods, remote from neighbors; and he brought with him his ancient mother-in-law Reigner, a widow of whom he was to take care; and that the said Francis Kendall did keep the said widow Reigner for said Ephraim Winship with provisions, more than a year and a half, at eight pounds per year,” etc. -- Middlesex Probate Files. This widow Rayner was the mother of Ephraim Winship’s first wife Hannah.

Dec. 22, 1713, Elizabeth Peirce, widow, of Watertown, and Jacob Peirce, a son, were admitted to administration on estate of Joseph Peirce. She was also dismissed from the church in Woburn to the church in Lexington. —Hudson (Hist. Lex., 268).

The will of Francis Kendall, Senior, of Woburn, dated May 9, 1706, contains the following paragraph, “6thly, to my daughter, Elizabeth Peirce, besides what I have given her upon marriage and otherwise, I further give her five shillings as a token of my love. And in case she shall have a child, born of her own body, I do hereby give unto it the sum of ten pounds, to be paid unto it by my executors when it shall arrive at the age of twenty and one years.”?

The Elizabeth Pierce who was the wife of James Pierce (Thomas,2 Thomas1) was the daughter of Abraham Parker, one of the early settlers of Woburn and Chelmsford, whose wife was Rose Whitlock, and who in his will, dated Aug. 6, 1685, in Suffolk Probate, names wife Rose; sons John, Abraham, Moses and Isaac, and daughters Mary (wife of James Parker), Elizabeth Parker (then unmarried), and Lydia, wife of John Kidder. His widow Rose, in her will dated September 17, 1691 (Middlesex Probate), names the above sons, Isaac being then deceased; her sons-in-law, John Kidder of Chelmsford, and James Parker of Groton; and her three daughters, Mary, the wife of James Parker; Elizabeth, the wife of James Pierce; and Lydia, the wife of John Kidder. That James Pierce was of Woburn is shown by a deed to his “ brother,” Moses Parker, of Chelmsford, under date of Jan. 21, 1707, where he is called of that town. There was but one James Pierce in Woburn at that period, and he died Jan. 20, 1742; his wife, Elizabeth, died Oct. 16, 1715. See also J. L. Parker, in “Woburn News,” Feb. 21 to March 14, 1891; Register, 16: 41; Middlesex Deeds, 14: 416; F. B. P., Pierce Genealogy, pp. 28, 28.

An interesting problem connected with this subject is, who was Mary Peirce, the granddaughter of Francis Kendall, named in his will in 1706? She was evidently not the daughter of Elizabeth, who in 1706 had no children, as appears from his will. Wlliam R. Cutter and Arthur G. Loring.
Woburn, Mass.

? The original of this will, owing to its torn condition, is now kept in a sealed envelope in the Probate Office at East Cambridge. The recorded copy, singularly enough, omits the paragraph beginning “6thly.” Dr. Benjamin Cutter, of Woburn, about the year 1847, copied the will, and included in his copy the above extract.

(NOTE FROM RALPH TERRY: I have found no proof that this James Greer was the same James Greer who married Ann Taylor. There is no marriage record of which I am aware, but it has been placed in some records that they married June 6, 1687. This was the date of the first proven connection of our immigrant ancestor, as Arthur Taylor mentions "James Grear, and Ann, his wife" in his will and gave him land that was later passed on down to John Greer, the only recorded son of James Greer and Ann Taylor. This will does not show that Ann, wife of James Grear, to be his daughter. But, from a deposition made by the son, John Greer in 1738, that he (John) was born about 1688 and that his mother, Ann Grear was a daughter of Arthur Taylor. This would place the marriage of James Greer and Ann Taylor in 1887 (sic_should be 1687) or before, as also proved by Arthur Taylor's will. If the James who married Ann Taylor, is the same James who was transported in 1674, and as John seemed to have been their only child, then they probably would not have married many years before he was born. Therefore, James Greer would have been about 55 to 60 years old when he married. It was been said that James was killed, but I see no proof of this. If this James was over 60 years old in 1688, then there is a good chance that he died of old age. Other researchers feel the James Greer who arrived in America in 1674 was born about 1656, but this appears to be based on the thinking that all men who came over were young men, so he would have been about 18 years of age.)

"June 6, 1687. To all Christian people, to whom these presents shall come ... I, Arthur Taylor, of Gunpowder River, in Baltimore County, Maryland, Planter, for and in consideration of natural love and affection which I have and do bear unto James Grear and Ann, his wife, as also for divers and other good reasons and considerations and hereunto especially moving and do by these presents, give, grant, alein, enfoff their heirs and assigns, unto James Grear and Ann, his wife, their heirs and assigns forever, 75 acres of land, being part of a greater tract of 300 acres belonging to the said Arthur, and called, "Arthur's Choice", lying and being situated in Baltimore County, and on the south side of a branch of the Gunpowder River, called Bird Run, beginning at a red oak standing on the said river and running from said oak bounding with the ... run ... east-north-east 53 perches by a line into the woods for length 300 ... thence by a line down west-south-west from the end south-south-east ... east to line 53 perches ... Witness: Samuel Sickelman, Amos Thompson - Signed Arthur Taylor (his X mark)." (Hall of Records, Annapolis, Maryland, R. M. # H. S., Vol. 1, page 261.) This same land was held in trust for the "orphan of James Greer named John" until he reached age. Neither James Greer nor his wife Ann left a will that has been located.

(pg. 11)
George Wheeler was certainly in Concord in 1638, his name appearing in the first year's records of the town, and it is not unlikely that he was one of the very first settlers in 1635. From what part of England he came is uncertain, and the relationship between him and the other Wheelers who came to Concord about the same time is unknown. The records of only a comparatively few English parishes have been printed. It is found, however, that the names Thomas, Joseph, Timothy and Obadiah appear frequently in various parishes in the county of Kent, and as these names were most common among the early New England members of the family, it is probable that the Concord Wheelers came from that part of England, and were related. George Wheeler appears to have been a person of consequence and presumably, a man of education and judgment, for he was often intrusted with important matters and put on many committees for the transaction of public business, and we find his name signed to all sorts of petitions and memorials to the General Court from the first settlement of the town to the very year of his death. He was selectman in 1660. He was a man of wealth and owned land in every part of the township – Brook Meadow, Fairhaven Meadow, the Cranefield, by Walden, Goose and Flint's pond, on White Pond Plain, on the Sudbury line, etc. He died between the years 1685 and 1687, his will being dated in January, 1685, and offered for probate 2 June, 1687.

(Quoted in The Eddy Family in America, pg. 106)
According to the Genealogy of 1881, he kept a public house in Oxford during the time of the Revolutionary War. There seems to be no record of any service as a soldier of a Samuel Eddy of Oxford or Ward. He inherited the estate of his father. When the census was taken in 1790 his home was in that part of the original town of Oxford known as Ward. He was the head of a household consisting of three males over 16, one under 16, and four females. The Worcester Registry of Deeds contains several purchases of land which he made, one of them being from Joshua Merriam in 1762, soon after his marriage. Samuel was always known in the early days as Lieut. Samuel Eddy, and when the inventory of his property was made after his decease he is spoken of as Capt. Samuel Eddy, so it is possible that he saw service in the Revolutionary War.

(Savage): Emigrated from England with his parents when he was four. Became a freeman in Watertown in 1653. Representative to the General Court, 1678 and 1690.
(Bartlett) He was also a Deacon in the Watertown church later in life. During his lifetime he divided all his property, both real and personal, among his large family of children and gave the homestead to his youngest son, Ensign Jonathan Stone. He gave a one hundred acre farm on the west to his son David, so that at his death he left no will, and no administration was taken out of his estate.

CAPTAIN GEORGE, bp. St. Michaels Church, Stortford, England, Dec. 10, 1620, d. Hartford, Conn, Oct. 24, 1694; m – (1) Roxbury, Mass, about 1640, Bridget, dau. John and Alice Thompson, of Preston, Northamptonshire, England, b. Sept. 11, 1622, d. 1643; (2) England, 1645, ANN dau. JOHN BORODELL, who d. Mystic, Conn, Sept. 26, 1712, ae. 97; bur. Elm Grove Cemetery, Mystic, Conn.

This Capt. George Denison, having buried his wife in the year 1643, went back to England the same year, where, as we learn from a letter of his brother, Maj. Gen. Daniel Denison, published in the April number of the New England Historical And Genealogical Register of 1892, in which he says: "My brother George was a soldier there above a year, was at the battle of York, or Marston Moor, where he did good service, and was afterwards taken prisoner, but got free and married a second wife, Miss Ann Borodell, and with her returned to England in the year 1645, and took up his abode again in Roxbury, Mass, where he continued to live until 1651, when he came with his family to Connecticut and located himself at New London, Conn, where he resided until 1654, when he came to Stonington with his family to live, and remained there until his death, which took place at Hartford, Conn, October 24, 1694."

Capt. George Denison was captain of New London County forces in King Philip's war, with Capt. John Mason, Jr, under Maj. Robert Treat, in the great swamp fight Dec. 19, 1675. He served the next year in command of the forces raised by him as Provost Marshal, who pursued the remnant of the Narragansett and Wampanaug Indians, and succeeded in defeating them and capturing the Indian Chief Canonchet, who was brought to Stonington, and on his refusal to make peace with the English, was shot. He assisted as magistrate to enable the Pequot chiefs designated by the English to control the remnants of the Pequots. He was assistant and deputy from Stonington to the General Court for fifteen sessions. The town of New London granted Capt. George Denison 200 acres of land in the Pequot-se-pos valley at Mystic in 1652, upon which he subsequently built him a dwelling house (May 3, 1663, it was raised), wherein he and his family made their final (permanent )home, known as the Oliver Denison house.

... died early in 1641, before 2 April, when the inventory of his estate was taken by Thomas Palmer and Lawrence Sely, two of his parishioners. An abstract of the will of the Rev. William Gillett has already been printed. It was dated 1641, and proved in the Archdeaconry Court at Taunton 16 April 1641. The testator mentioned his sons William, Thomas, Nathan and Jeremiah, his daughters Habiah (Abiah) and Mary, and his brother Richard. He said ''to all my children in England I give two silver spoones apiece" and this phrase probably meant that he had other children, unmentioned, who were not in England in 1641, and to whom he had presumably given their portions when they left home.

Concerning his son Nathan, he said "The land which my son Nathan made over to me by letter of Attorney, my son William, the next reversioner of said land, shall surrender his estate (there in),'' etc. This is the only mention of Nathan, and implies that he was one of the children who were not in England when the will was made, and that he had made the land over to his father by letter of attorney after he had left England.

The estate was worth £259 14s, 8d., which included £13 6s. 8d. for silver plate and an equal sum for books.
