John Holebrok married Alice (?) at England. On 30 August 1295, he was summoned
to defend the coast against the French and six years later to defend his
country against the Scots. John departed this life before 6 December 1306 at
County Suffolk, England. On that date his widow & two others held knight's
fees in various parts of England, including one fee Freston & Holebrook, both
of which are in the county Suffolk.

Andrew Roberts Lord, Holbrook and Allied Families, pages 3-4 - Sir John de
Holbrok was considered a valiant soldier by his king, as he was summoned to
defend the coast against the French on 30 August 1295, and six years later to
defend his country against the Scots. We do not know the exact date of John's
death but it must have been before 6 December 1306 for on that date his widow
and two others held knight's fees in various parts of England, including one
fee Freston and Holebrook, both of which are in the county Suffolk. The widow
Alice must have been of noble birth as having been invited to the wedding of
Elizabeth, daughter of King Edward II who married the Count of Flanders. On
her death, she left a vast estate much of it in Suffolk. She died 8 December
1309.

Burial Hill is the second cemetery in Plymouth, preceded by the Coles Hill
Burial Ground. The exact date as to when this ground became used as a cemetery
is not known. There are no written records of the earliest burials. The
earliest grave markers were made of wood, and none exist today. The site was
used as a fort from 1621 until 1676. The earliest engraved headstone marks the
grave of Edward Gray, who died in 1681. There are only 7 headstones that
precede 1700.

married to men who were all important figures in their communities.
After her SECOND husband, Thomas Willett died in 1674, she married Rev. John
Bishop of Stamford, CT, in her old age. They both would have been ~ 60 years
of age; she was a few years his senior. They were married sometime after 1674
until Joanna's death in 1681.

Joanna Boyse, was the daughter of Rev John & Joanna (Stowe) Boyse. On July 2,
1637. She married, as his second wife, the Rev. Peter Prudden of Milford,
while he was visiting Massachusetts. She married (2) Thomas Willett in
Milford, 19 September 1671. (Savage says her gravestone of 1699 calls her his
only wife and finds the error peculiar, but Burgess reads the stone to say
1669 and attributes it more correctly to the first wife.) There were no
children of her marriage to Willett.
Joanna Boyse, of Halifax, Yorkshire, England, had come to America and settled
in Roxbury, Massachusetts with her sisters Silence Robinson and Anna Reyner

' Joanna Boyse2 was the daughter of Rev. John Boyse and his wife Johane __, of
Halifax, Yorkshire, England. Rev. John Boyse1 died, as indicated by his will,
about 1620, and his wife, Johane, about 1631, as shown by her will. One of
Joanna Boyse's sisters was the wife of Rev. John Raynor, pastor of the Church
of Plymouth, Mass., from 1637 to 1655, and later of Dover, N. H. It is not
known when she married Rev. Peter Prudden, but various indications point to
about 1638, and that the marriage took place in this country. Her father was a
man of estate. In her will, dated 1681, November 8th, she mentions two sons
and five daughters, all of the name Prudden. She was one of four coheiresses
to property in Edgton and Welburn. After the death of her husband she married,
September 20, 1671, Capt. Thomas Willett,* died August 4, 1674, who was the
first Mayor of New York. Later she became the wife of Rev. John Bishop, for
fifty years pastor of the church at Stamford, Conn.

Find A Grave contributor Brooke Harlowe adds: Joanna had a third husband, the
Rev. John Bishop of Stamford, CT. She was his second wife. (See D.L. Jacobus,
Families of Old Fairfield, vol. 1: 77)
Bishop is buried in St Johns and St. Andrews Episcopal Cemetery in Stamford.
His memorial is 50504127.
In his will, Rev. Bishop asks to be buried between his two wives. I presume
that Joanna (and Rebecca Goodyear Bishop) are in the same cemetery but no
headstone remains for them.

Capt. and Mrs. Willett first resided in New York, and then removed to Rehoboth
and Swansea, Mass., where he died in 1674. The record of the letter which
received her again into the fellowship of Milford church shows that Mrs.
Willett returned shortly after Capt. Willett's death to Milford.
Although past sixty years of age Mrs. Joanna Prudden Willett was again sought
in marriage and became the wife of the Rev. John Bishop, for fifty years
pastor in Stamford, Conn.* He was a few years her junior, a widower with
several grown-up children, and with him she lived until her death. Neither the
date of this marriage, nor of her death, nor of the place of her burial is
known. In a letter from Rev. John Bishop to Increase Mather, written in 1681,
he sends his "Greetings" and those of his wife, "who was Mrs. Willet, to good
Mrs. Mather."
The following is a copy of

BOURNE ANCESTRY.
Thomas Bourne = Elizabeth . . .
Margaret Bourne = Josiah Winslow.
Rebecca Winslow = John Thacher.
Bethia Thacher = James3 Paine.
THOMAS BOURNE was a resident of Plymouth in 1636 ; January 2, 1636-7, he was
admitted a freeman of the Colony and at the same date a tract of land was
assigned to his son Richard for his use.
He removed to Marshfield early in the settlement of that place if not at its
very beginning ; was chosen one of its deputies or representatives in 1642 and
at later times. He was a citizen of repute, a man of substance.
He married (perhaps as his first wife) Elizabeth __ , who was buried in
Marshfield, July 18, 1660 ; he married afterward a wife named Martha, who
survived him.
He was buried May 11, 1684, aged, as the record avers, 83 years. He left a
will in which he appointed his son John "right heir and executor," and gave
his estate to his daughters, "Bradford," "Smith," "Winslow" and "Tilden" ; to
son Nathaniel Tilden ; to John, Thomas, Joseph and Robert Waterman, and (the
minister) "Mr. Arnold."
Of his seven children the sixth, Margaret Bourne, married Josiah Winslow.

BOURNE. The Bourne family of south-eastern Massachusetts is descended from
(I) Thomas Bourne, "the eldest of the Marshfield settlers and a patriarch on
its Eden," who appears at Plymouth in 1637, a freeman of that Colony of Jan.
2, 1638. Judge Savage says he may probably have come from the County of Kent,
bringing family. "His home lands were situated adjoining the estates of his
sons-in-law, Josiah Winslow, Sr, and Robert Waterman, to whom he gave of his
own lands liberally." He was also a large land holder in the south part of the
Colony. "He was a man of substance and repute." His wife Elizabeth was buried
July 18, 1660, aged seventy years. He was buried May 11, 1664, at the age of
eighty-three years. His will, probated June 9, 1664, made his son John right
heir and executor, and bequeathed to

him, to daughters Martha Bradford, Anne Smith, Margaret Winslow and Lydia
Tilden; to Nathaniel Tilden, to John, Thomas, Joseph and Robert Waterman ; and
to Mr. Arnold. His children were: John, Martha, who married (first) John
Bradford, son of Governor Bradford, and (second) Thomas Tracy; Elizabeth, who
married Thomas (Robert ?) Waterman ; Anne, who married Nehemiah Smith ;
Margaret, who married Josiah Winslow, brother of Governor Winslow; and Lydia,
who married Nathaniel Tilden.
(II) John Bourne, son of Thomas, born perhaps in England, married July 18,
1645, Alice, daughter of Thomas Besbedge or Besbeech (the second marriage on
the town book). Mr. Bourne succeeded to the homestead, which in 1854 and later
was in the possession of the then venerable John Bourne, a descendant in the
fifth generation of the immigrant Thomas and a Revolutionary patriot who
entered the service at the commencement of the struggle and was a prisoner of
war when peace was declared; he died in October, 1859, in the 101st year of
his age. The children of John and Alice Bourne were: Elizabeth, born in 1646;
Thomas, in 1647; Alice, in 1649; Ann, in 1651; Martha, in 1653; Mary, in 1660;
and Sarah, in 1663.

soldier.
He was a descendant, in the fifth generation, from Thomas and Elizabeth
Bourne, early settlers of said township, and resided and deceased on the
estate granted to this immigrant ancestor, Dec. 4, 1637, by the Court of the
Old Colony, from whom it had passed to him by regular descent. The ancestor
deceased May 11, 1664, a. 83 ; his wife, 1660, a. 70.

Lydia, the wife of Elder Nathl. Tilden, of Scituate, to whom she was united
previous to their emigration.

4. NATHANIEL TILDEN, baptized at Tenterden 28 July 1583. came to New England
in the Hercules in March 1634-5, with wife, seven children, and seven servants
; settled at Scituate ; and died, probably at Scituate, between 25 May and 31
July 1641. He married in England Lydia, who, Savage thinks, was perhaps
daughter of Thomas Bourne. But as Thomas Bourne was born about 1581, he would
have been only twenty-seven when Nathaniel Tilden's eldest child was born, and
therefore Savage's conjecture is wrong. The "son Tilden " referred to in
Thomas Bourne's will, made in 1664 (see Pope's Pioneers of Massachusetts),
could not have been Nathaniel, who had been dead twenty-three years, but was
probably Thomas Tilden, son of Nathaniel and husband of Elizabeth Bourne. ....

Footnotes
In most circumstances, I would recommend searching the Tenterden records in an
attempt to find John BOURNE's parents. However, the surviving Tenterden parish
records (St. Mildred's) date only from 1544. Since this date is more than
fifteen years after John's birth, you won't be able to definitely determine
his parents. However, you could see if there were other BOURNEs in that
location and possibly John's marriage as well, if you think it happened in
Tenterden and not London.
You also mentioned the name Maudlin (John's wife). This is a spelling variant
of Magdalene or Madeleine. However, the only way to find out her surname is to
find the marriage record. As I mentioned, this might be at Tenterden. However,
if it occurred in London, that would mean a search of literally hundreds of
London parishes. (link2)

• Death: May 11 1664 - Marshfield, Plymouth, Massachusetts
• Father: Bartholomew Bourne
• Wife: Martha, Elizabeth
Thomas, freeman 1638. Removed from Plymouth to Marshfield.
"Thomas Bourne and his wife, Elizabeth, with several children, came to
Plymouth sometime near 1630. He was a resident of Plymouth long enough to be
well known there, and was so desirable a citizen that in 1637 the Court of
Plymouth Colony granted him and others called 'special persons,' 'that would
promise to live at Plymouth on some good farms, and so tie the lands of
Plymouth as farms for the same; and these they might keep their cattle,
tilling by some servants,' and reatin their dewllings in Plymouth.
"Dec. 4, 1637, a grant of 100 acres was given to Thomas Bourne, and ti was the
second grant recorded of land in Marshfield. The same day 100 acres was
granted to Josiah Winslow. The town was incorporated in 1640, and the same
year Thomas Bourne was one of tow that were chosen deputies to represent the
town in the October Genal Court, and he was elected three times afterward.
"Under date of Aug. 1645, the following entry is found: 'On a motion being
made for one to teach schook, we whose names are undersigned, are willing to
pay yearly besides paying for our children; we shall send the following sums.'
Among others we find the name of Thomas Bourne, who subscribed ten shillings.
Thus early, Thomas Bourne, his son, John, and others, took measures to
establish a public school. We have one more record of this Thomas, called by
one writer:
• > "the eldest of the Marshfield settlers and a patriarch of its Eden.'"

records the Marshfield branch as coming from Kent Co., England.
• Thomas Bourne and his wife, Elizabeth, with several children, came to

year Thomas Bourne was one of two that were chosen deputies to represent the

• sides paying for our children; we shall send the following sums." Among
others we find the name of Thomas Bourne, who subscribed ten shillings. Thus
early, Thomas Bourne, his son, John, and others, took measures to establish a
public school. We have one more record of this Thomas, called by one writer
the "eldest of the Marshfield settlers and a patriarch of its Eden."
• It is written Thomas Bourne died and was buried ye 11th May, 1664, age 83.
Thomas Bourne had several daughters and only one son, John, who was born in
England. He married Alice Besbeach, now called Bisbee, and this is the second
marriage entered on the Marshfield records, July 18, 1645. His eldest son was
named Thomas, Then we have five successive generations of John Bournes, one of
whom is now living. The third or middle John Bourne was a Revolutionary
soldier and centenarian. He was born Apr. 10, 1759, and died in 1859. Less
than one mile from his home was the homestead of Nathaniel Ray Thomas and
later of Hon. Daniel Webster.
• Mr. Thomas' sympathies were with the British in the early days of the
Revolution. He evidently was afraid of the patriotic spirit of his neighbors
and townsmen, for he sent to the English authorities for a company of
soldiers, who came to guard him. Every night, when calm enough, the sound of
the sentry's voice would be wafted across the marsh to the ears of the
Bournes. "Twelve o'clock and all is well." That cry helped to stir up the
patriotic spirit of the surrounding community, and the boy of 16 drank in so
much of the feeling that he shouldered his flint-lock gun and was soon in the
trenches, helping to fortify Dorchester Heights. From that on he followed the
fortunes of his country in battles and in camp (being near death's door with
small-pox), till the last gun was fired. At the close of the war he was in the
state of New York, from which state he walked to his home in old Marshfield,

following gives the direct lines of descent of the Bournes to the present
time:
• Thomas Bourne,1 and wife, Elizabeth, came from Kent County, England, about
the year 1630.
• John,2 b. in England. Mar. Alice Besbeech, or Bisbee, July, 1645.

the State Board of Agriculture for 3 years.
• Proctor Bourne, b. in 1791. Mar. Temperance Thomas. He was Postmaster of
Marshfield for many years, keeping a store in connection with the postoffice
and serving the town as its treasurer and collector. His children are all
dead, but two grandchildren are now living : Annie F. Calligan and Emma P.

• (I) Thomas Bourne, "the eldest of the Marshfield settlers and a patriarch
on its Eden," who appears at Plymouth in 1637, a freeman of that Colony of
Jan. 2, 1638. Judge Savage says he may probably have come from the County of
Kent, bringing family. "His home lands were situated adjoining the estates of
his sons-in-law, Josiah Winslow, Sr, and Robert Waterman, to whom he gave of
his own lands liberally." He was also a large land holder in the south part of
the Colony. "He was a man of substance and repute." His wife Elizabeth was
buried July 18, 1660, aged seventy years. He was buried May 11, 1664, at the
age of eighty-three years. His will, probated June 9, 1664, made his son John
right heir and executor, and bequeathed to

• him, to daughters Martha Bradford, Anne Smith, Margaret Winslow and Lydia
Tilden; to Nathaniel Tilden, to John, Thomas, Joseph and Robert Waterman ; and
to Mr. Arnold. His children were: John, Martha, who married (first) John
Bradford, son of Governor Bradford, and (second) Thomas Tracy; Elizabeth, who
married Thomas (Robert ?) Waterman ; Anne, who married Nehemiah Smith ;
Margaret, who married Josiah Winslow, brother of Governor Winslow; and Lydia,
who married Nathaniel Tilden.
• (II) John Bourne, son of Thomas, born perhaps in England, married July 18,
1645, Alice, daughter of Thomas Besbedge or Besbeech (the second marriage on
the town book). Mr. Bourne succeeded to the homestead, which in 1854 and later
was in the possession of the then venerable John Bourne, a descendant in the
fifth generation of the immigrant Thomas and a Revolutionary patriot who
entered the service at the commencement of the struggle and was a prisoner of
war when peace was declared; he died in October, 1859, in the 101st year of
his age. The children of John and Alice Bourne were: Elizabeth, born in 1646;
Thomas, in 1647; Alice, in 1649; Ann, in 1651; Martha, in 1653; Mary, in 1660;
and Sarah, in 1663.
• (III) Thomas Bourne, son of John, born Oct. 27, 1647, married (first)
April 16, 1681, Elizabeth, daughter of John and Anice (or Annis) (Pabodie)
Rouse, of Marshfietd, the latter daughter of John and Isabel Pabodie, original
settlers of Duxbury. She died April 9, 1701, and he married (second) Nov. 23,
1702, Elizabeth Holmes, who died April 2, 1707. His children were: John, born
June 8, 1685, who married Abigail Collamore, of Scituate; Elizabeth, who died
April 14, 1689; George, born 29th of 3d month, 1690; and Jedediah and Josiah
(twins), born 29th of 10th month, 1692.
• (IV) Josiah Bourne, son of Thomas and Elizabeth (Rouse) Bourne, was born
29th of 10th month, 1692, in Marshfield. Pembroke and Hanson were formerly the
western part of Duxbury. Pembroke was incorporated in 1712. For some
seventy-five years before the incorporation of Hanson it was styled the West
Precinct of Pembroke and was so established May 19, 1746. Hanson was
incorporated Feb. 22, 1820. "Josiah Bourne, great-grandson of Thomas Bourne,
one of the first settlers in Marshfield, bought a large tract in the extreme
southern part, next to the 'Great Cedar Swamp,' 'with ye house on it,' and
traces of its location can still be seen. It is said of him that he was of
small stature, a man of good practical sense, determination, and perseverance,
who made the hills and valleys laugh and shine with their abundance. He had
three sons and five daughters, whose descendants are scattered over various
parts of the country." ["History of Hanson,' E. B. K. Gurney.]

Thomas is the first of this name in America. Tradition points to the Bourne
family as originating in Wales, but history records the Marshfield branch as
coming from Kent County, England. He was married in Kent to Elizabeth.
Thomas and Elizabeth with several children came to Plymouth Colony near the
year 1630. He was a resident of Plymouth long enough to be well known there,
and was so desirable a citizen that in 1637 the Court of Plymouth Colony
granted him and others called "special persons" that would promise to live at
Plymouth on good farms and settle the lands of Plymouth as farms for same; and
they might keep their cattle tilling by some servant and retain their
dwellings in Plymouth.
He was one of the founders of Marshfield, Massachusetts. By deed from the Old
Colony of Plymouth on Dec 4, 1637, he was granted 100 acres to Thomas Bourne
and it was the second grant recorded of land in Marshfield. The same day 100
acres was granted to Josiah Winslow. The town was incorporated in 1640. The
same year Thomas Bourne was one of two that were chosen deputies to represent
the town in the Oct General Court and he was elected three times afterward.
Under the date of Aug 1645; the following entry is found;
"On a motion being made for one to teach school, we whose names are
undersigned are willing to pay weekly beside paying for our children; We shall
send the following sum."
Among others we find the names of Thomas Bourne, who subscribed ten shillings.
This early Thomas Bourne, his son John and others took measures to establish a
public school. We have one more record of Thomas. Called by one writer the
"eldest of the Marshfield settlers and a patriarch of its Eden". It is written
Thomas Bourne died and was buried "ye 11th May, 1644 age 83. "Elizabeth had
died at Marshfield in 1660 at 70 years of age (b.1590 )
_____________________________
Mr. Thomas Bourne, the pioneer, was born in England and was of high social
rank as indicated by the title Mr. in the records and according to ?song? He
probably came from County Rantt as early as 1637. He was in Plymouth Colony
for land was granted to his son Richard on Jan. 9, 1636 - 1637. He was
admitted freeman Jan. 2, 1638. His wife Elizabeth was buried July 14, 1660,
aged 70 years. His home was the estate of Josiah Winslow and Robert Waterman,
his sons-in-law to whom he gave valuable bonds. He was a man of substance and
?report? in Marshfield where he lived to great age and where he was buried May
11, 1664 aged 83 years.
His will dated May 2, 1664 and found June 8, 1664, his son John as executor
bequesting to daughter Martha Bradford, Margaret Winslow, Lydia Tilson and
sons-in-law Nathaniel Tilson to John, Thomas, Joseph and Robert Waterman and

LifeSketch: THOMAS BOURNE, born about 1581, came perhaps from County Kent in
England, with a wife and family. He was at Plymouth, Mass., in 1637, and was
made freeman of the colony, 2 Jan. 1637/8. Marshfield was incorporated in
1640, and Thomas Bourne settled in the new town, where he was a man of
substance and repute, serving in various capacities. His wife ELIZABETH was
buried there 18 July 1660, aged 70; and he, on 11 May 1664, aged 83. He was
nearly always referred to as "Mr." and at least once as "gen.", indicating a
superior social standing. William Launders of Marshfield was a servant to Mr.
John Combe, and on 5 Apr. 1642 was transferred to Mr. William Thomas, and on 9
Nov. 1643 was transferred to Thomas Bourne. In Launders' will, made 19 Dec.
1648, he gave to the children of Robert Waterman "my friend" one Cow, and
named his two friends Mr. Thomas Bourne, and Robert Waterman his executors.
The inventory of his estate, taken 1 Jan. 1648/9, showed that the estate owed
Robert Waterman "for Diet and a hogshead." [The Mayflower Descendant, 9-82,
83]. At a Town Meeting held in Marshfield, 3 Nov. 1656, Mr. Thomas Bourne and
Joseph Beedell were to receive the ten pounds which Mr. Edward Winslow in his
will gave to the poor of the town, and were to be "betrusted" with its
expenditure, [ib., 4-2.] Mr. Thomas Bourne was Deputy from Marshfield to the
Plymouth General Court, 1641, 1642, and 1645. He was Surveyor of Highways at
Marshfield, 1647, and Grand Juryman, 1648. "The last Will .. . of Mr
Thomas Bourne of the Towne of Marshfeild . . .
late Deceased exhibited to the generall Court held att Plymouth the 2th
of June
1664 on the oathes of Mr
Samuell Arnold and Anthony Snow;"
"Thomas Bourne . . . Draper" made his will on 2 May 1664. Bequests were as
follows. "I giVe unto my Daughter Bradford according to my promise twenty
pounds to bee payed her in Come or Cattle or goods; and also I give her my wif
es gould Ringe ;" "I Doe give unto my Daughter Smith nine pound to bee payed
her for a legacy in come Cattle or goods;" "I Doe give unto my Daughter
Winslow two Cowes" "I give unto my sonne Tildin five shillings in Come for a
legacye;" "And I give unto my Daughter Tildin: Daughter Lydia Tildin forty
shillings; I say two pounds in Cattle; for the better understanding of the
forty shillings; before mentioned and I give unto John Waterman two pounds in
Cattle or goods or corne; And I give unto Thomas Waterman two pounds in Cattle
goods or corne; And I Doe give unto Josepth Waterman two pounds in Cattle
goods or Come And I Doe give unto Robert Waterman two pounds in Cattle goods
or Corne" "I Doe give unto Mr
Arnold twenty shillings in goods or Corne"
"I Doe heerby Declare my son John Bourne to bee my heire and I Doe give unto
him all my lands and housing that are upon my lands that is neare hand or
further Remote layed out or to bee layed out to mee" "my son John Bourne" was
appointed executor. The witnesses were Samuel Arnold and Anthony Snow. The
inventory was taken by Sergeant Joseph Beedle, Anthony Snow and Thomas Doged,
the last named signing by a mark, and was exhibited at court at Plymouth on 9
June 1664, on the oath of John Bourne. The real estate was "his house and land
and orchyard and meddowes" and "a lott of land lying neare Taunton" but the
value was not stated. Debts were due from "serjeant Gotten", John Branch, "mr
Josias Winslow senir
", Captain Thomas, John Thomas, "Mr
John Bradford"; and the estate owed: "for sugar and
wine and fruit for the buriall" £1 , Is.; to Humphrey Johnson, 4s. [The
Mayflower Descendant, 16-24, 25.] The expression "my Daughter Tildin: Daughter
Lydia Tildin" means, and perhaps should be read, "my daughter Tildin's
daughter Lydia Tildin," in other words, his granddaughter Lydia, child of his
daughter Elizabeth (Bourne) (Waterman) Tilden; and it will be noted that
Elizabeth's four Waterman boys were given legacies in the same paragraph
immediately following Lydia's legacy. The ambiguity of the Tilden clause has
caused many genealogists to conclude that Thomas Bourne had a daughter Lydia,
but care-, ful study of the records fails to substantiate the existence of
such a daughter. Children of Thomas and Elizabeth ( ) Bourne: 2 + i. MARTHA2 ,

to NRHP November 28, 1980 The Little Neck Cemetery is a historic cemetery off
Read Street in East Providence, Rhode Island.
The cemetery was founded in 1655, when the area was part of Rehoboth,
Massachusetts, and is one of the oldest colonial cemeteries in Rhode Island.
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
Famous and historical burials [edit] Little Neck Cemetery is a historical and
cultural resource of much importance. It contains the gravestones of people
who have played an important part in the history of East Providence and other
American societies.
The oldest recorded burial is that of John Brown, Jr (who died 1662), son of
the man who purchased Wannamoisett from the Wampanoag Indians. The gravestone
of Elizabeth Tilley Howland (died 1667) is also there. Howland was a passenger
on the Mayflower ship and was one of the original settlers of the Plymouth
Colony. She died at the Swansea farm of her daughter and son-in-law and was
buried near there at Little Neck. Today her grave is marked by a finely carved
slate marker put up in 1946 by the Howland Family Association.
The most renowned person buried at Little Neck, however, is Captain Thomas
Willett (died 1674). Willett, son-in-law of John Brown of Wannamoisett,
settled in what is currently East Providence in a house that was located on
Willett Avenue (now the site of the Willett Arms Apartments). He is noted for
serving as the first English mayor of New York. The Willett plot, surrounded
by a stone-post and iron rail fence, is now marked by a large boulder put down
by the City Club of New York and that also contains the original stones
marking the graves of Willett and his wife, Mary, who died in 1669.[2]

From http://www.newenglandancestors.org/pdfs/willett_thomas.pdf
The return trip to New England was arranged. Thomas Willett had the company of
another old family friend from Leyden on the outbound trip. this was his
father’s friend, John Browne, along with his daughter, Mary Browne, and
other members of that family who were immigrating to the new world. They left
England on June 22, 1632, on board the Lion, which was a fairly large ship for
the day. The return trip took twelve weeks; they arrived in Boston on
September 16. Thomas Willett and Mary Brown must have seen a lot of each other
during that voyage. An enduring romance must have had its inception on board
the Lion.
On July 6, 1636, he married Mary, the daughter of Worshipful John Brown (b
1584 in England; d April 10, 1662, at Swansea, Massachusetts), the son of
Thomas Browne. Peter Browne, the uncle of John Browne had come over on the
original Mayflower, and he and the elder Thomas Browne were sons of Thomas
Browne, Senior.
(comment from Miner Descent: Some romantic tales say that he was brother of
Peter Browne (1594 - 1633), the Mayflower’s carpenter and a signer of the
Mayflower Compact, but this has been disproved. I had to delete my fun
stories about Peter Browne. ;()
The Browns were from Swansea, England, and his wife Dorothy (nee Beauchamp)
had immigrated from Cambridge, England, to Holland, and then followed the
Puritans to Massachusetts. Governor Winthrop performed the ceremony. The
Browns had been one of the last of the Green Gate Pilgrims to leave Holland
for the new world. They were old friends of the Willett family.
“By this marriage, Willett allied himself with one of the most influential
families of the Plymouth Colony. Mr. Brown had become one of plymouth’s
[sic] most prominent figures and had been given a patent on the Kennebec. For
twelve years he was a commissioner of the United Colonies of New England, and
for eighteen years he was a governor’s assistant.
Thomas Willett died at Swansea and was buried at the head of Bullock’s Cove,
in what is now East Providence, RI. His tombstone gives the date of his death

John CROWE & FAMILY embarked May 8, 1635 on the "Hopewell" under Master John
Driver from Weymouth, Norfolk, England. "Family" most likely included
Elizabeth and Yelverton, and perhaps Nasare.[13]
John and Yelverton Crowe, alias Crowel, who both were in Yarmouth, Mass.,
about 1640, are said, in the Banks MMS, to have come from the vicinity of
Carlton Rode, next Old and New Buckenham, South Norfolk.
The wife of John Crowe was burried at New Buckenham, Norfolk, 21st day, 3rd
month, 1626 (parish register). The daughter of John Crowe was baptized there
21st day, 6 month, 1626 (ibid). She was named "Nasare" or something close to
it; George Gilleland, Vicar at New Buckenham, could not fully decipher this
name, he stated in a letter to the contributor dated 27 Feb. 1958. See Dr.
Edward YELVERTON's wife's name "Nazareth"[14][15]
He married Unknown abt 1614 in England (John's 1st wife). Unknown, died Bef.
March 21, 1625/26 in New Buckenham, Co. Norfolk, England; Complications of
childbirth. John's 2nd wife Elishua had arrived on the "Elizabeth Bonaventure"
which left Yarmouth, Co. Norfolk, England the 1st week of May and arrived at
Boston June 15, 1633; she was listed separately on the ship's passenger
manifest but was traveling with the the well-to-do Thomas CHUBBOCK/CHUBBUCK of
Hardingham, Co. Norfolk, his wife Alice, & their daughters Sarah & Rebecca.
[16]Perhaps Elishua was the sister of Thomas CHUBBOCK or other relative of him
or his wife; his wife Alice or Anne came from a very large family, but had no
sister named Elishua. The home that Elishua purchased in Charlestown from
Edward Jennings was also adjacent to the one where the Chubbuck Family lived.
Could they have looked after and help support Elishua, until John CROWE
arrived two years later with the surviving children of his 1st marriage?[17]

Stephen W. Gifford, Jr; "Yelverton Crowell of Yarmouth, Mass., A Hypothesis
Concerning His Parents And Children, " NEHG Register , Vol. 125, Oct 1971; p.
231/236:
The wife of John Gifford (William) of Sandwich, Mass., was Elishua Crowell. To
date, genealogists of both the Gifford and the Crow or Crowell families have
attributed Elishua to John Crow and his wife Elishua, who were in Charlestown,
Mass., by 1634. ( "Crowe" seems to have been the conventional English spelling
of this surname in the 16th and l7th centuries. It most often appeared as
"Crow" in Plymouth and Boston records, and became Crowell during the second
generation in New England. ). It was there that Mr. John Crow sold dwelling
house and land the 16th of fourth month 1638 to bh 1638-1802, 1883, 3:91-2)
and subsequently relocated in Yarmouth, Mass.
At South Sea in West Yarmouth in 1640 was Yelverton Crow, alias Crowell, who
like John Crow had formerly resided in Charlestown. Yelverton seems to have
remained on his farm in Yarmouth for the balance of his lifetime, there
raising his family. He was designated "Mr." Yelverton Crowe several times in
Yarmouth records, indicating the respect borne him by his peers. In addition,
his service as "celectman" and on "the grand enquest" are measures of his
repute. He died "suddenly" 24 Oct. 1683, according to family genealogists,
although the original record is not known to this writer. His will is among
Old Colony records at Plymouth (Vol. 4, Part 2, page 60):
To all people to whome these presente shall come I Elverton Crowell alias Crow
of Yarmouthe in ye Collony of Plymouth in New England ... this twenty-third
Day of December 1681 ... I doe constitute, ordaine & appoint my youngest son
living sole executor to this my last will & testament and I ye sd Ylverton

Rebeckah Thatcher on ye oath of Mr. John Thatcher
Of particular note is mention in the will of "my grand child Elizabeth
Gifford." This introduces the question of Elizabeth Gifford's parentage, which
is not apparent from the will. Found at Sandwich, Mass., about ten miles west
of Yarmouth on Cape Cod, by 1647 was William Gifford, tailor (The Mayflower
Descendant, 7:208; Plymouth Deeds, 5:354), who became a member of the Society
of Friends. By two wives (or possibly three) he had seven sons and one or two
daughters (Gifford Genealogy 1626-1896, 1896, -pp. 1-3; Little Compton
Families, Benjamin F. Wilbour, 1967, p. 276). The children of the five younger
sons are known and include no Elizabeth. The second son, Hannaniah, removed
from Sandwich as early as 1670 (Monmouth County, N.J., Deeds, C:18). In 1679,
Hannaniah and wife Elizabeth were among witnesses of the marriage of Restore
Lippincott to Hannah Shattuck in Shrewsbury, Monmouth County, N.J. (Shrewsbury
marriage records, p. 1, at 15 Rutherford Place, New York City). Little more is
known about Hannaniah, but it is highly unlikely that livestock in
Massachusetts would be willed to a granddaughter living in New Jersey; thus,
it appears reasonable to rule out Hannaniah Gifford as being the father of
Yelverton Crowell's granddaughter.
Left to be accounted for is William Gifford's eldest son John, who lived on
Spring Hill, Sandwich, on property willed to him by his father. In Sandwich
Vital Records are recorded the births of eight children of John Gifford, the
mother not being named. Significant among them are the first child, "Elezebeth
gifart the daftar of John gifart was boarne: the 25. of. 12. 1665"; and the
seventh child, "yellverton Gifford the Son of John Gifford was borne the 22
Aprill anod 1676" (The Mayflower Descendant, 14: 111-12).
The will of John Gifford of Sandwich, dated 9 April 1708, inventory taken 5
May 1708, and proved 17 May 1708, mentions wife Elishua, son Yelverton
Gifford, and daughter Elizabeth Tupper, deceased, in addition to other
children and grandchildren (Barnstable County Probate, 3:396). This is the
only known record of the name of John Gifford's wife, and it is presumed that
she is the mother of his children and the daughter of Yelverton Crowell.
Foremost among arguments for this presumption is the fact that among the
children of John Gifford was a Yelverton. This surname probably would not have
been used as a given name by John Gifford unless a close family relationship
were intended to be honored. He did just this if his father-in-law were indeed
Yelverton Crowell.
Further persuasive evidence supporting the identity of Elishua Gifford as a
daughter of Yelverton Crowell of Yarmouth is found in the history and records
of Windham, Conn. One Joshua Allen died at Windham 27 Dec. 1699 (Windham Vital
Records). His widow was Mary, who subsequently married as his second wife on
17 July 1700, William More. She died 18 Sept. 1727, and More married third,
Tamar Simons (The Granberry Family, comp. by Donald L. Jacobus, 1945, pp.
145-6). It is very likely that this Joshua Allen was the one of that name
listed as a resident of Yarmouth in 1679 (The History of Cape Cod, Edward
Freeman, 1869, 2:195). It was suggested by the late genealogist Bertha W.
Clark in a paper first written in April of 1954 and revised in January of
1955, "A Sandwich-Dartmouth-North Kingston Allen Line," that Joshua Allen was
one of the five "least" (unnamed) children of George Allen of Sandwich, who
was buried 2 May 1648 (Records of the Colony of New Plymouth, Nathaniel B.
Shurtleff, 1857, 8:6) and whose will, dated 7 June 1643, is at the Plymouth
County Registry of Deeds (1:84). Miss Clark found "very strong reasons for
thinking the eleventh son may have been Joshua Allen, who was at Yarmouth on
the Cape until 1693 when he bought a thousand acres of land at the Ponds in
Windham." Her manuscript is at the New England Historic Genealogical Society
Library in Boston (G- All-4630 and G-All-4630A).
The names of the children of Joshua and Mary Allen, according to William L.
Weaver in his History of Ancient Windham (1864, pp. 30-31) were inscribed upon
her gravestone in Windham Centre Cemetery: John (b. Yarmouth 20 Sept. 1682 and
mar. in Windham 20 June 1700 Mary Fargo); Joshua (living in 1706); Gideon
(living in Newport, R.I., 1707); Miriam (mar. at Windham 16 Dec. 1702 Jonathan
Simons); Yelverton; Samuel (d. at Coventry, Conn., 14 Oct. 1718, and had wife
Mary); George (b. ca. 1690 and d. at Coventry, Conn., 31 May 1756); Eleazer
(of Windham, mar. 8 March 1717/18, Mercy Case); and Sarah (b. at Windham, 7
Nov. 1695, and mar. 23 Oct. 1717 Daniel Badcock).
The fact that the given name Yelverton was used by Joshua and Mary Allen and
the probability that they both originated in Yarmouth indicate the likelihood
of a connection with the Yelverton Crowell family of Yarmouth. Giving
additional weight to this argument is this Windham County, Conn., land record:
To all persons to whom these presents shall come, Yelverton Gifford son of
John Gifford, late of the town of Sandwich in the county of Barnstable, in ye
province of the Massachusetts Bay ... now deceased ... to John Watson of
Plymouth for #20 ... all my tract and parcel of land which I have, situate,
lying and being on ye east side of Connecticut River ... and which was
bequeathed to me by the said John Gifford, my father, in his last will and
testament in writing dated the 9th day of April 1708, it being all the land
which the said John Gifford, my father, did in his life-time purchase and
obtain from my uncle William More of Windham, in the Colony of Connecticut
aforesaid ..
(signed) Yelverton Gifford
Dated 20th March 1713-14 (E:354)
That Yelverton Gifford calls William More his uncle in this deed is
significant. In 1713/14, when it was recorded, William More's wife was Mary
Allen, the widow of Joshua Allen, originally of Yarmouth. If Mary (Allen) More
were a daughter of Yelverton Crowell of Yarmouth and a sister of Elishua
(Crowell) Gifford, then William More's being called uncle by Yelverton Gifford
is explained.
Even the use of the given name Elizabeth by John and Elishua Gifford for their
eldest child is noteworthy. Elizabeth was an extremely common name in the 17th
century at Sandwich

John de was born circa 1290 at Holton, County Suffolk, England. He was the son
of Sir John de Holebrok and Alice (?). John married Petronella (?) at England.
John is found in court records which show a complaint against him by Norman
Chippying of an assault. Another record of 1312, shows a presentation of
Arnold Lupi de Tilo to Rendlesham Church by King's gift, giving custody of
John Holebrok, son and heir, John de Holebrok. It is quite possible that John
and his father both died in the wars with Scotland. John departed this life on
Monday, 12 October 1316 at England.

John de was born circa 1260 at England. He was the son of Sir Richard de
Holebrok and Isabella (?). John married Alice (?) at England. On 30 August
1295, he was summoned to defend the coast against the French and six years
later to defend his country against the Scots. John departed this life before
6 December 1306 at County Suffolk, England. On that date his widow & two
others held knight's fees in various parts of England, including one fee
Freston & Holebrook, both of which are in the county Suffolk.

Holbrok was considered a valiant soldier by his king, as he was summoned to
defend the coast against the French on 30 August 1295, and six years later to
defend his country against the Scots. We do not know the exact date of John's
death but it must have been before 6 December 1306 for on that date his widow
and two others held knight's fees in various parts of England, including one
fee Freston and Holebrook, both of which are in the county Suffolk. The widow
Alice must have been of noble birth as having been invited to the wedding of
Elizabeth, daughter of King Edward II who married the Count of Flanders. On
her death, she left a vast estate much of it in Suffolk. She died 8 December
1309.

Richard de was born circa 1230 at England. He was the son of William Holebrok.
Richard married Isabella (?) at England. On 16 June 1267, Sir Richard was
granated free warren [a right to keep or hunt beasts and fowl such as hares,
partridge and woodcock] at Tatingeston, Benetleye, Rushagh, and Foxhole,
County Suffolk and at Senges, County Norwalk, England. He was also appointed
custodian of the King's castles in twenty different counties and was appointed
steward between the bridges of Oxford and Stamford on 16 November 1275, and
one year later made escheator in those two counties. In Parliament at
Westminister, on 29 September 1278, he was a witness to the homage of
Alexander, King of Scotland. [This is an indication of the high esteem he was
held in the eyes of King Edward I] During his lifetime, Sir Richard held many
positions of trust including that of steward to the king to which he was
appointed on 30 May 1285.1 Richard departed this life between 27 February 1291
and 1292 at England.
Court records show an order to arrest Sir Thomas for an assault on John de
Loudham.
[T]he site on which the castle stands has been used in the Iron Age, Roman
period and by the invading Saxons also used by the Normans, Tudors and also
used in the Medieval Period. This is because its position on elevated ground
provides clear views of the Welland Valley from a strong defensible location.
William the Conqueror ordered the construction of a wooden Motte and Bailey at
Rockingham in the 11th century shortly after the Norman Invasion of Britain.
Within three decades, William II replaced it with a stone castle. A stone keep
was added to the large motte and the outer bailey was enclosed by a curtain
wall. The castle was then used as a Royal retreat throughout the Norman and
Plantagenet periods. Nearby Rockingham Forest was especially good for hunting
wild boar and deer.
In 1270 Henry III strengthened the castle with the addition of a twin D-tower
gatehouse. But less than a century later Edward III became the last monarch to
visit the castle while it was possessed by The Crown.

[Cal. IPMs Vol 6 #461: Thomas Baldewyne of Bergholt].
Issue:
5. John de Holbrook, born circa 1313; heir to his father, 1316; his wardship
granted to Alice, Countess Marshal, and thence transferred to Margaret and
Peter de Maulay [PROCAT SC 8/127/6345 dated circa 1324]
************************
It is this latest IPM which causes our major problem, for it names the heir in
1316 as being a third John de Holbrook, not Thomas de Holbrook, whom we know
as the subsequent lord of Holbrook and the other estates named above. The
existence of this third John is confirmed by the wardship suit which Mardi
uncovered. Perhaps this is where the pedigree from the Plea Rolls comes into
play.
In the suit of 6 Richard II at p 143 of Pedigrees from the Plea Rolls, Thomas
de Holbrook is said to be son of "John de Holbrook ff Edward I" and grandson
of Richard de Holbrook, knight. This would give us the following:
3. Sir John de Holbrook, d 1306; married Alice, died 1309; issue:
4a. John de Holbrook, 1289-1316; married Petronilla; issue:
5. John de Holbrook, born 1313; died without issue [perhaps he married the
Margaret to whom Copinger refers as having "claimed a moiety of the manor of
Colvile in dower" as widow of John de Holbrook, 1330, without citing the
reference]
4b. Sir Thomas de Holbrook, succeeded to Colvile's manor, 1330, and presented
to Rendlesham, 1332 [Copinger]; died 1360; left issue, who succeeded to
Holbrook etc.

John Eells migrated to Massachusetts Bay Colony from the West of England in
1632, settled in Dorchester, Massachusetts, was a freeman of the Colony and a
prosperous farmer, but when the Long Parliament met in England in 1640 John
Eells, that stern old Puritan, sniffed the coming battle from afar, sold all
he owned for whatever price it would bring, and sailed back to England to take
up arms for his religion, carrying with him his son Samuel, the "suckling
child" a few weeks old. John never returned to America.

Nathaniel Eells was born on 25 Nov 1677 in Milford, Conn. and died on 25 Aug
1750 . He was the son of Samuel Eells and Anna Lenthall.
Nathaniel married Hannah North on 12 Oct 1704 in Hingham, Mass.. Hannah was
born about 1679. She was the daughter of Edward North and Sarah Bateman. She
died on 2 May 1754.
Nathaniel - partook in the Whitfield controversy in 1745. Graduated from
Harvard College in 1699 and was ordained as a minister in Scituate, Mass. in
1704.
His father moved to Mass. when he was eleven years old, and he is supposed to
have accompanied him. He became a reverend and starting preaching in Scituate
about 1704. Three of his sermons were printed and are preserved in the library
of the Connecticut Historical Societies - a fourth is preserved in the library
of Yale University.
By the will of his father, he received "three dozen Silver Coat Buttons, a gun
and a cane.".
Family tradition is that Nathaniel married his step-sister Hannah.
"Deane's History of Scituate " describes him thus:
"There are a few aged people now living who remember him. They describe his
person to have been of a stature rather above mediocrity, of broad chest and
muscular proportions, remarkably erect, somewhat corpulent in his late years,
of dark complexion, with large black eyes and brows and of general manners
rather dignified and commanding, than sprightly and pleasing. He had an
influence and authority amongst his people that none of his successors have
exercised, and which may have been in some measure a peculiarity of earlier
times than these. . . .
His people were delighted to see him at their doors, as he rode up on
horseback to inquire after their health and to hand his pipe to be lighted. We
mean no satire by recording this trifle; for he was a venerable man, and so
beloved, that every parishioner would take pleasure in performing such an
office for him. He was also a leader amongst the neighboring clergy--well
acquainted with the constitution and usages of the churches, weighty in
counsel, and often called to distant parts of the state and to other states on
ecclesiastical councils.
As a preacher, there is reason to believe that he did not so much excel as in
his dignity of character and soundness of understanding. We have seen a volume
in manuscript of nearly a hundred sermons, which he used to carry with him
when he travelled abroad. They embrace a considerable variety of subjects, and
enabled him to preach at any time and on any occasion. They begin with his own
ordination sermon which he himself preached, according to ancient custom, and
include the sermons which he composed during the first few years of his
ministry. (This book and the Bible of his son, Rev. Edward , are now owned by
Rev. Edward Eells , of Worcester ). . . .
On the whole, we believe there has rarely been known a ministry of forty-six
years, which so many circumstances conspired to render successful and happy.
There are a few now living that remember the solemn day of fasting and prayer,
kept by his people, on account of his death. Mr. Eells prepared his own sons
and several other young men for college and also for the ministry; amongst
whom we can name President Clap of Yale College, Rev. David Turner of Rehoboth
and Rev. Thomas Clap of Taunton , afterwards Judge Clap. . . .
We have no doubt that Mr. Eells had disciplined himself into an extraordinary
self-command. His less placid partner (whose name had been North ) did not so
well endure the disagreeable events of life, and when chafed with family
vexations, she would say, 'It is wonderful that so good a man as my husband
should have such wayward children.' He would pleasantly reply, 'True, and you
seem to be sensible that the mischief lies in the North side of the family.'"

Dorchester, MA, 3 May 1640 about two days old by Rev. Richard Matthew and died
in Hingham, MA 21 Apr 1709. He was an infant when his father returned to
England and apparently did not return to America until he was at least 21
years old. Next we find him in Milford, CT where his marriage took place. In
1662 he settled at Milford, New Haven, CT where county records show that he
served on juries at various dates from Nov 1666 to April 1671. On 15 May 1670
he was admitted to the church and his wife was also admitted 10 July of the
same year. He served on committee chosen by the town in 1677 to transcribe
from "Old books what is necessary to ye New books as grants of land, etc," at

He was an infant when his father returned to England , where Samuel is said to
have remained until about twenty-one years of age. He settled at Milford,
Connecticut , and in 1677 was on a committee to transcribe the old records
there. He held many offices, was a juror often before 1671 . He was appointed
to collect the customs at Milford on wines and liquors, June 10, 1668 , and
was continued in office until after 1681 . In May, 1681 , he was appointed by
the town on a committee to obtain from the Indians a deed of the lands
purchased by the inhabitants at various dates, and in 1685 was one of the
town's representatives on a committee to establish the line between Milford
and Derby . In 1681 he was appointed clerk of the county court for one term.

John Eells (Samuel's father), who migrated to Massachusetts Bay Colony from
the West of England over three hundred years ago in 1632, settled in
Dorchester, Massachusetts, was a freeman of the Colony and a prosperous
farmer, but when the Long Parliament met in England in 1640 John Eells, that
stern old Puritan, sniffed the coming battle from afar, sold all he owned for
whatever price it would bring, and sailed back to England to take up arms for
his religion, carrying with him his son Samuel, the "suckling child" a few
weeks old. John never returned to America, but his son Samuel came back to his
native Colony in 1661, and soon displayed marked ability and energy. He
practiced "the notable profession of the law," and moreover was merchant,
miller, selectman, Town Clerk, and often a Deputy in the General Court of
Connecticut, as well as "a Major in the Regiment," fighting with distinction
against the Indians in King Philip's War.

1st Eells born in America. His father John returned to England. After father's
death, Samuel returned to America in 1662 (prob.) and settled in Milford, CT.
EHE writes (in notes to portrait folder: "Maj. Sam'l was commissioner for
purchasing lands and settling boundary lines, town clerk, capt. of
training-band, frequently a member of the General Court (of CT). In King
Philip's War he commanded a garrison at Dartmouth MA and served with Capt.
Church under Robert Treat. [He performed notable service in his protest
against the mistreatment of Indian captives by the Plymouth Colony.] He built
the historic EellsStowe House in Milford about 1670 where we presume their
their seven (6?) sons and one (4?) daughter were born. His wife Anna died in
Feb., 1687. He is believed to have supported regicide judges Goffe and
Whalley. In 1689, he removed to Hingham MA where he was J.P., deputy to
General Court 1705 and representative in 1706. He married again-- this time
Sarah North (nee Bateman).... His very interesting will is on file at the
Suffolk Country Registry of Wills.

"Our ancestor, Major Samuel Eells, of Hingham, Mass., spelled his name Eells.
It was he who immortalized his name in denouncing the action of the Trustees
of Plymouth Colony in selling the 160 Indians as slaves to the West Indies, an
act only eqaal in its infamy and cruelty to that of Judas, who betrayed our
Saviour for a price.
"His son, Col. Samuel Eells, of Milford, was for more than forty years in
employ of Connecticut provinces in various public offices; at one time
secretary of Governor Leete. Nathaniel Eells, of Scituate, a son of Major
Samuel, married his wife, Hannah North, an aunt of Lord North, Prime Minister
of George III, during the Revolutionary War, but her children were all loyal
to the Colonies. Another Nathaniel Eells, of Stonington, an ancestor of Rev.
Gushing Eells, the founder of Whitman College; Samuel Eells, of North
Branford, a captain in the Revolutionary War, whose father, at the time of the
Lexington massacre, preached a strong sermon in favor of the Colonies,
dismissed his congregation, came out of his pulpit, opened a recruiting office
in the church and raised a company. They chose him as their captain. On
account of ill health he declined, and they chose his son for their captain.
He went through the Revolutionary War. Rev.. Edward Eells, who married Martha
Pitkin, 1740, and whose son Ozias was for 29 years pastor at Barkhamsted, all
spelled their name Eells. Harvey Eells, born 1801, on account of a foolish
quarrel among school children, who made fun of the name and said it was
squirmy, foolishly dropped one 1, and called himself Eels. Most of his
descendants moved to Georgia and sided with the Rebellion, and fought against
us in the Civil war. There was one notable exception, Major W. B. Eels, of
Milford, of the i9th Connecticut Volunteers and id Connecticut Artillery, who
was wounded and disabled at the battle of Cold Harbor, made Lieutenant
Colonel, but his wounds not allowing him to return to active service, soon
after the war he died from the effect of those wounds at Terryville.
"In Stonington there is a Hannah Eells Society, a branch of the Daughters of
the American Revolution.".

Thomas Holbrook of Weymouth 1599-1677
Birth 1 MAR 1599 Glastonbury, Somerset, England
Death 10 MAR 1677 Weymouth, Norfolk, Massachusetts
Parents: William Holbrook and Edith Coles
Spouse Jane Powyers (see note)
Please note that according to the latest research published by NEHGS in 2000
in:
Smith, Dean Crawford, and Melinde Lutz Sanborn, "Leland" in The Ancestry of
Eva Belle Kempton 1878-1908. (Boston, Massachusetts: New England Historic
Genealogical Society, 2000), Part IV 452
Thomas Holbrook of Weymouth only had one spouse Jane Powyes. The author points
out that Savage created a fictional wife named Experience Leland in error who
never existed. This error was copied to various histories such as the History
of Weymouth. It is not correct.
Marriage
There were two men named Thomas Holbrook. This Thomas Holbrook of Weymouth
married only once to Jane Powyers. Note some internet websites show other
wives - that is not correct according to the latest research published by
NEHGS in 2000 in Kempton Ancestry Park IV.
Note that Experience (Leland) Holbrook Did Not Exist. Savage originally
conflated the son of Henry Leland with a fictitious father and the created two
fictitious siblings Experience and Lydia Leland. Experience supposedly married
Thomas Holbrook. There is no evidence for this and neither Experience or Lydia
ever existed. This error was copied to later histories such as History Of
Weymouth 2:204 from Savage. Note there was two men named Thomas Holbrook.
Thomas Holbrook of Dorchester, Medfield and Sherborn had only two wives:
Hannah Shepard and Margaret (Unknown). Thomas Holbrook of Weymouth has only
one wife: Jane Powyers.

Elizabeth Holbrook. wife of Walter Hatch (see Hatch), was of English descent,
perhaps birth. Her father, Thomas Holbrook, born in Brantry, England, came to
America in 1635, with his wife Jane and four children, two more being born in
America. He settled in Weymouth, Massachusetts, where he became a man of
wealth and prominence. He was one of the original grantees of Rehoboth,
Massachusetts, but for not removing to his lands there they were forfeited in
1645. He owned lands in Scituate. Massachusetts, where his sons, Captain
William and Thomas (2) removed in 1660. Captain William purchased land in
Conihassett and made permanent settlement. Thomas, however, only remained
until after his marriage in Scituate to Deborah Daman, then shortly after
returned to Weymouth. Thomas was selectman of Weymouth, 1645-46-51-54. He was
elected representative to the general court, 1649, and was one of the
committee to lay out the highway between' Weymouth and Dorchester. Thomas and
Jane Holbrook had three sons and three daughters, as named in his will, which
was probated April 24, 1677. although made December 31, 1668, with codicil,
five years later. His -wife Jane survived him. The will recites : "To wife
Jane all my estate during her life," (requesting sons John. William and Thomas
to be helpful to her) "as she is ancient and weak of body." His property was
afterward to be divided between the three sons and "my three daughters. Ann
Reynolds, Elizabeth Hatch and Jane Drake." Elizabeth married Walter Hatch, who
was of the second generation in America, and progenitor of Albert Gallatin

Thomas Holbrook

settling in Braintree in 1653. Married Joanna Kingman in 1650.
___________________
Thomas Holbrooke with his brother John and a party of other immigrants left
Weymouth in Dorsetshire, England in 1624 and landed on the coast of
Massachusetts the same year, where they founded the town of Weymouth. John
served many years as selectman of Weymouth. He died at the latter place in
1676. His widow Joanna died in 1677.
All the Holbrookes in the United States came from one of these two brothers.
I found other entries for Thomas that differs from the information that Mary
Helen found. One states that (using information from his will) his wife's name
was Jane, not Joanna. The other info states that Thomas arrived in the US in
either 1636/37 on a ship with his wife and 4 children coming from the town of
Broadway. (Public Record Office at Kew, England)

Will dated 1559
http://www.ourfamilyhistories.org/getperson.php?personID=I16386&tree=00
Norton Malreward is listed as Nortone in the Domesday Book of 1086 meaning
'The north enclosure' from the Old English norp and tun. Malreward is a
corruption of Malregard who was a tenant of the Bishop of Coutances in
1238.[3] During the reign of Edward I the manor was held by John Le Sore of
Backwell. Later lords of the manor included Hawisia de Burton, John de Burton,
Robert Grayndor, Robert Basset and Sir William Basset. In 1701 the manor was
sold to Richard Holder and sold again in 1718 to Francis Freeman and Samuel
Prigg.[2]
Just north of and overlooking the village is Maes Knoll Tump, a tumulus 390
feet by 84, and 45 feet in height, the start of the Wansdyke. The remains of
this Iron Age hillfort lie at the eastern end of the Dundry Down ridge. The
hillfort consists of a fairly large flat open area, roughly triangular in
shape, that was fortified by ramparts and shaping of the steep-sided hilltop
around the northern, eastern and southwestern sides of the hill (the flat area
in World War II was dotted with stone cairns to deter the landing of enemy
gliders to invade Bristol; a detachment of the Dundry Home Guard had a
draughty corrugated-iron look-out shed on the top of the tumulus).[4] Maes
Knoll provides a splendid view over the lands it would have once commanded.
From here, there are clear views north to Bristol, east to Bath and the
Cotswold Hills, and south over Stanton Drew stone circles to Chew Valley Lake
and the Mendip Hills.
The parish was part of the hundred of Chew.[5]
Ammonites and fossil nautili are abundant in this neighbourhood.
The village lies on the route of the Monarch's Way long-distance footpath.
