Augustine Walker
Birth: Feb. 22, 1564, Southam, Warwickshire, England
Death: Aug. 16, 1614, Great Amwell, Hertfordshire, England
Son of John and Kathren (Bicknill) Walker.*
Married 1st to an unknown woman (not Elizabeth Jouatt); 4 daughters named in
his will
Married 2nd to Mary Stringer on June 27, 1597 in Great Amwell, Herts, England.
Father of Elizabeth Walker, wife of Richard Warren, the famous Mayflower
passenger.
Research Note
The article published in TAG that proved Augustine was the father of Elizabeth
(Walker) Warren made no mention of his parents.
===========================================
http://webspace.webring.com/people/eu/um_5941/aqwg116.htm#5652
Will: Dated 19 Apr 1613, Great Amwell, Hertfordshire, no probate date [TAG
78(2):83-86 (Ap r 2003)]. Requests burial at church or churchyard of Great
Amwell. Names dau. Elizabeth Warren wife of Richard Warren, her three children
Marey, Ann, and Sarey Warren. Thomas, John and Frauncis Holland, children of
Thomas Holland & my daughter Ann, his wife. Unborn child "said Ann is now
conceyved". Daughter Mary Johnson. Symon Adams, son of Symon Adams Citizen &
draper of London. And Dorothy his daughter [a gold ring that was her
mother's]. Wife Marey, executrix. Thomas Hassall, Vicar of "much Amwell" for
services preaching at my funeral. Symon Adams the father, overseer of will.
Mark of Augustine Walker. Sworn by Thomas Holmested, Thomas Robert & John
Larke (no date of probate).
"The will of Augustine Walker of 'much' Amwell was dated 19 April 1613; there
is no date of probate on the will or in the act book. It states, 'I give &
bequeath unto my daughter Elizabeth Warren wife of Richard Warren Sixteene
pounds of lawefull money of England, and unto her three Children Marey, Ann an
Sarey Warren Fower pounds . . ' These three children have the same names and
are listed in the same order as the first three children known for the
immigrant Richard Warren. Since their parents were married in 1610 and they
were named in their maternal grandfather's will of 1613, the dates of birth of
these daughters can be stated reasonably accurately, and match very closely
what is known of the dates of birth of the daughters of Richard Warren, the
Mayflower passenger. (Since Richard Warren and his wife Elizabeth (Walker) had
three children in three years, Elizabeth may have used wet nurses - though
there are other possibilities.) It is unfortunate that the first three
daughters each had a common name, unlike the rarer name Abigail, which was
given to a later daughter of the immigrant."
"Richard Warren of the Mayflower was described as 'of London.' Unfortunately,
Augustine Walker's will does not give Richard Warren's residence. Great
Amwell, however, had clear connections with London. The parish was situated on
two major routes leading from the capital city: The River Lea and the Old
North Road. There re many references in the Great Amwell parish registers to
people from London, including some connected with Augustine Walker himself. In
1603 Susan Addams, 'a maiden borne in Amwell dwellinge at London died heere at
Augustine Wallkar's' and 'Marye surnamed Fanchurch, a child of the hopsitall
in London, was buried from Augustine Wallkar's of Amwell.' Another connection
is the appointment in Augustine's will of Simon Admas, citizen of London, as
an overseer. Augustine Walker was buried at Great Amwell on 18 August 1614 as
'Austen Wallkar of Amwell street an owld man.' His widow Mary was buried at
Great Amwell on 26 December of the same year, but she was evidently not the
mother of Elizabeth (Walker) Warren. Augustine Walker and Mary Stringer were
married at Great Amwell on 27 June 1597. Mary's will, dated 23 December 1614
and proved on 10 January 1614/5, does not name Augustine's children, but does
refer to the 'legacies of my husband Augustine Wallkar lately deceased.' And
Elizabeth, daughter of Augustine Walker, was baptized at Baldock,
Hertfordshire, approximately fifteen miles from Gret Amwell, in September
1583. The children of Augustine Walker of Great Amwell mentioned in his will
are: Elizabeth, wife of Richard Warren; Ann, wife of Thomas Holland; and Mary
Johnson. No record of the baptisms of Ann or Mary was found in the Baldock
parish registers. A Dorothy daughter of Augustine Walker, baptized there in
1573, could be the Dorothy Walker who married Edward Grave at Great Amwell in
1595. If the Elizabeth Walker baptized at Baldock was baptized soon after
birth, then she would have been ninety years old in October 1673, which would
fit with the age of 'aboue 90 yeares' given for the immigrant Richard Warren's
widow. It is clear from the above that there are good reasons to identify the
immigrants Richard Warren and his wife Elizabeth with Richard and Elizabeth
(Walker) Warren. As far as is known, there is nothing inconsistent with the
identification. it is hoped that those interested in the family of the
Mayflower passenger will find further evidence about the the origin and
ancestry of Richard Warren and his wife."

Our place of origin in England was the Parish of Northallerton in North
Yorkshire. There lived in the 1200's Cuthbert Walker our first Walker
ancestor. He was perhaps the son of Robert, son of William and had elder
brothers Robert and William. Cuthbert was a Walker or Fuller by trade. Hence
his surname. Before that he would have been know Cuthbert son of Robert or
Robertson. Fulling was a process in the making of cloth, when after spinning
it was shrunk, by being put in a tub with fullers earth and trampled or
Walked. As a common occupation hence there were very many different families
of Walkers not related to each other. However it seems that all the Walkers
within 10 miles of Northallerton were all descendants of Cuthbert. In 1301 he
paid 16 pence in tax. His son Robert may have had another son Cuthbert who was
the ancestor of the family of Cuthbert who lived near by and used the same
christian names as our family. At this time surnames were not settled and
brothers could have different ones. There are very few records of this early
period of family history there fore there is some uncertainty about the
relationship of various members of the family to each other, but I have shown
what I consider to be the most likely. Names down to about 1850 in most
families, children were named after parents, Grandparents, Aunties and Uncles,
hence some names keep repeating generation after generation and give a sense
of oneness in a family.
Burial Notes
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. Source: findagrave.com
Date and place of death have also been (erroneously?) reported to be 1564 in
Warwickshire, England.

It appears that she died after Jan. 3, 1692/93, but this program won't do
that. (This translates to 1693 for a Jan-Dec year or as per how the computer
reads the date; 1692 is the Mar-Mar English year of that era.)

Birth Notes
Birth place listed as "St. Leonards, London, Middlesex, England". While
searching Google Maps I found Shoreditch listed as the location of St. Leonard
C of E church. Not sure this is the correct location of St. Leonards.
Passenger on the "Mayflower".
Mayflower Passenger. He was one of the passengers on the Pilgrim ship
Mayflower and a signer of the Mayflower Compact. Richard Warren married
Elizabeth Walker, at Great Amwell, Hertfordshire, on April 14, 1610. Elizabeth
Walker was the daughter of Augustine Walker of Great Amwell. Warren came from
London and was called a “merchant” of that city. Richard Warren was one of
those very few English merchants who signed on to make the Mayflower voyage as
a member of the Leiden contingent. At the time of the Mayflower’s voyage in
1620, Richard and his wife had five daughters: Mary, Ann, Sarah, Elizabeth and
Abigail. But Richard came on the Mayflower alone, deciding to wait until
conditions in the New World were satisfactory before bringing over his family.
On November 9/19, 1620, after about 3 months at sea, including a month of
delays in England, they spotted land, which was the Cape Cod Hook, now called
Provincetown Harbor. After several days of trying to get south to their
planned destination of the Colony of Virginia, strong winter seas forced them
to return to the harbor at Cape Cod hook, where they anchored on November
11/21. The Mayflower Compact was signed that day. Richard Warren's name
appears 12th in the list. He participated in some of the early explorations of
Cape Cod, when a suitable settlement location was being searched for.One such
extensive exploration began on Wednesday, December 6, 1620 in freezing weather
using the ship’s shallop, a light, shallow-water boat with oars and sails
which was navigated by two pilots, with a master gunner and three sailors. In
1623 Warren felt that conditions were right to bring his family over from
England, and they arrived that year on the Anne. He was a major landholder in
the early colony. Richard Warren died of unknown causes, possibly sometime in
1628, exact date unknown. Because all seven of Richard Warren and Elizabeth
nee Walker's children survived and had families, they have very many
descendants today.

Emigration Notes
Mayflower Voyage:
Winslow and his wife Elizabeth were part of the Leiden Separatist group who
had decided to travel far away from England and the repressive regime of King
James I to more freely practice their religious beliefs. Merchant Adventurer
investment group agent Thomas Weston assisted in this venture by providing the
ship Mayflower for the Pilgrim's journey. Traveling on the Mayflower in
company with the Winslows were his brother Gilbert and family servant/employee
George Soule and a youth, Elias Story. Also in the care of the family was
Elinor (Ellen) More, a girl of eight years. In all there were four
unaccompanied More children from Shipton, Shropshire in the care of senior
Pilgrims on the Mayflower: Elinor, Jasper, Mary and Richard. Elinor perished
the winter of 1620 with only one brother Richard More surviving.
Signing the Mayflower Compact 1620, a painting by Jean Leon Gerome Ferris
1899:
The Mayflower departed Plymouth, England on September 6/16, 1620. The small,
100-foot ship had 102 passengers and the crew is estimated to be approximately
30 but the exact number is unknown.[10] They lived in extremely cramped
conditions. By the second month out, the ship was being buffeted by strong
westerly gales, causing the ship‘s timbers to be badly shaken with caulking
failing to keep out sea water, and with passengers, even in their berths,
lying wet and ill. This, combined with a lack of proper rations and unsanitary
conditions for several months, attributed to what would befatal for many,
especially the majority of women and children. On the way there were two
deaths, a crew member and apassenger, but the worst was yet to come after
arriving at their destination when, in the space of several months, almost
half the passengers perished in cold, harsh, unfamiliar New England winter
On November 9/19, 1620, after about 3 months at sea, including a month of
delays in England, they spotted land, which was the Cape Cod Hook. After
several days of trying to get south to their planned destination of the Colony
of Virginia, strong winter seas forced them to return to the shelter of Cape
Cod hook, now called Provincetown Harbor, where they anchored on November
11/21. The Mayflower compact was signed that day.

Burial Notes
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. Source: findagrave.com

The Waterman immigrants of New England have been studied in depth by some of
the leading genealogists of our time including extensive research by Donald
Lines Jacobus. No evidence has ever been published as to their parents or
origins. There is no known relationship between them.
Trees found on the Internet proposing parents for any of the four Waterman
immigrants are complete fantasies and should be discounted by serious
researchers. It is interesting to see the claim bandied about that a Thomas
Waterman and Lydia Chadwick were parents of the immigrants on FindAGrave.com.
This is a pure conflation of Theophilus Waterman born March 27, 1752 who
married Lydia Chadwick Waterman Gen 1906 p 36. Another variation on the
Internet shows a Thomas Waterman and Mary Bird as the parents of the
immigrants. A Thomas Waterman did marry a Mary Bird on 1 Apr 1624 in Bishop's
Stortford, Herfordsshire. This couple married too late to be the parents of
the immigrants and no evidence connecting them to the New England family has
ever been suggest by any genealogist. See Hyde, Myrtle Stevens. The Ancestry
of Prudence Bird, wife of Martin Kellogg of Braintree, Essex, England: (who
had descendants in New England). American Genealogist (D.L. Jacobus). (April
1996) 71:92 Neither of these couples are seen in any of the extensive
genealogies of the New England Watreman families. They are modern day Internet
myths and nothing more.

Biography
“ROBERT1 WATERMAN is first recorded on December on 1638, when he married
Elizabeth 2 Bourne at Marshfield in Plymouth Colony. She married as her second
husband Thomas Tilden, who was baptized on January 19, 1618/19, at Tenterden,
county Kent, England. She was buried at Marshfield on December 12, 1663. On
March 5, 1638/39, Waterman was bonded in the amount of twenty pounds for
William Heller of Plymouth to assure his keeping the peace and appearing at
the next Court. On May 7, 1639, he bought a:”
"garden place .... in the new Streete in Plymouth a foresd between the Land of
Mr John Done ... & of Mr Andrew Hellott .... together with all the tymber for
buildinge fence in about the same." [L. Effingham deForest Moore and Allied
Families: 572-78]
“ Waterman sold this lot to Edward Winslow who resold it in 1646. On
September 3, 1639, Waterman was fined forty shillings "for being drunken."
This was on the same occasion that Mr. John Holmes, the Messenger, was fined
forty shillings "for drinking inordinately." According to an account published
in the ninth volume of Colonial Families of America, Robert, on December 3,
1639, was a participant in an action for trespass against Thomas Clarke for
twenty pounds, which was decided for the plaintiff. This same source says that
he was apparently a seafaring man, as he negotiated with Mr. Winslow to
undertake the shipping of five cows by water. On September 7, 1642, Robert
Waterman was propounded for freeman, and admitted and sworn on March 7,
1642/43. On the same date he was appointed a member of the Grand Jury from
Marshfield. On June 6, 1643, lie was on the Grand Inquest. Also in 1643,
Waterman was listed among the inhabitants of Marshfield between sixteen and
sixty and able to bear arms.” [L. Effingham deForest Moore and Allied
Families: 572-78]
On August 29, 1643, Robert Waterman first appears as Committee or Deputy from
Marshfield to the Plymouth Colony General Court. He again appears as Deputy on
March 5, 1643/44; June 5, 1644; August 20, 1644, when he was noted as absent;
March 3, 1645/46; July 7, 1646; June 1, 1647; June 7, 1648; June, 1649, and
June 4, 1650. [L. Effingham deForest Moore and Allied Families: 572-78]
The Marshfield Town Records show that on September 27, 1643, Robert Waterman
and Thomas and John Bourne were appointed to keep watch at Thomas Bourne's
house. On February 27, 1643/44, when the inventory of John Atwood of Plymouth
was taken, there appeared under the heading of "Debts in the booke" an item of
two pounds, ten shillings and six pence due from Robert Waterman and also "2
lines & a leade & a bushell of Corne." Waterman was mentioned in the course of
a dispute between James Skiffe and Samuel Jenney "for the sayle." On March 5,
1643/44, the General Court ordered that the sail should be brought to town to
be appraised, and damages allowed, "and that the said James Skiff shall have
the said sayle & the damage to deliu to Robte Waterman, with the boate hee
hath sold him." OnJune 5, 1644, "The action depending betwixt Henry Coggen,
pltiffe, & Robert Waterman, deffent, for a cannow, is, by consent of both
parties, referred unto Anthony Thacher and Mr Thomas Dimmack, to be ended by
them." [L. Effingham deForest Moore and Allied Families: 572-78]
In 1645, Waterman was one of those to agitate for the establishment of a
school, and contributed ten shillings for it. On July 7, 1646, Waterman was
one of "the Men nominated and appoynted in cuery Towne to recouer the Excise &
gather it" for Marshfield. Thomas Howells' inventory was taken on May 31,
1648, and showed "cattell at Robert Watermans" valued at thirty-eight pounds
and two shillings. The "cattle" consisted of a five-year old cow and a calf,
two books, a gun, and various other items. Howells also had cattle in Thomas 1
Bourne's keeping. [L. Effingham deForest Moore and Allied Families: 572-78]
Robert and his father-in-law, Thomas 1 Bourne, were witnesses to the will of
William Launders on December 19, 1648, and Launders left "To the children of
Robert Watterman My frend one Cow and Calfe" and appointed "My two frends Mr
Thomas Burne and Robert Waterman my executers." The inventory was taken by
Josias Winslow and Anthony Snow, and showed that Launders owed one pound and
five shillings to Robert Waterman and Joseph Bedell; another item ofone pound
"To Robert Waterman for Diet," and still a further debt of five shillings to
Waterman "for one hoggshed." On June 8, 1649, a committee ofnine was appointed
to lease the Kennebec trade, an important source of revenue to the Colony. Mr.
William Collier and Robert Waterman were two of the members. The Court order
was that "The first Tusday in July is apointed for those to meet together who
are apointed to treat & order the letting of the trade." Waterman, however,
was absent at the July meeting. It is of interest to note that on June 24,
1649, a town meeting was held "at Robert Wattermanes." [L. Effingham deForest
Moore and Allied Families: 572-78]
In 1649 Edmond Weston of Duxbury sold land at Marshfield to Waterman for
fourteen pounds and ten shillings already paid, and three pounds and fifteen
shillings to be paid. Before the deed was acknowledged on January 11, 1652/53,
Thomas Bourne engaged to pay the balance o( three pounds and fifteen shillings
for his son-in law. On February 3, 1652/53, Weston gave Bourne a receipt for
the above amount. [L. Effingham deForest Moore and Allied Families: 572-78]
One of the last records ofWaterman before his death is of a fine of fifty
shillings imposed by the General Court on him on March 4, 1650/51. When the
inventory of Henry Drayton's estate was taken on March 2, 1651 /52, among the
debts due from the estate was one to "Robert Waterman for 2 load and an halfe
of hay in 1650." [L. Effingham deForest Moore and Allied Families: 572-78]
Estate
“Robert Waterman died at Marshfield on December 10, 1652, and the inventory
of his estate was taken on January 13, 1652/53, by Anthony Snow. On March 1,
1652/53, the widow Elizabeth was appointed administratrix, and the inventory
was exhibited on her oath on June 6, 1653. On August 2, 1653, the Court
ordered that a debt due Joseph Roes be collected, and "the said goods of the
said Roes may bee equally deuided betwixt the widdow Waterman and the said
Josepth Roes." The inventory of Waterman's estate was a long and interesting
one including a house and lands valued at thirty pounds, "wearing apparrell"
valued at twenty pounds and ten shillings, two cows, two calves, one steer,
one heifer, twelve books "and som smale pamplits," brass kettles,
candlesticks, pewter dishes, iron pots and kettles, one fowling piece, a
codline with leads and hooks, a table, two chests, a trundle bed, a cradle,
three chairs, two flockbeds, a sword and "bandalleers," five hens, three small
swine, and a looking glass.” [L. Effingham deForest Moore and Allied
Families: 572-78]
“On October 6, 1659, "Att this Court open proclamation was made, that if any
shall come in betwixt this date and the Generall Court, to be holden att
Plymouth, the first Tusday in March next, and can claime any just debt from
the estate of Robert Waterman, satisfaction shalbee made proportionable to the
said estate, or otherwise a quietus est will then be granted to Elizabeth,
sometimes the wife of the said Robert Waterman." The quietus est was
accordingly granted on June 7, 1660.” [L. Effingham deForest Moore and
Allied Families: 572-78]
“On February 6, 1665 J66, the General Court approved Mr. Josias Winslow and
Anthony Snow "to bee gaurdians to two of the sonnes of Robert Waterman,
deceased, viz, Josepth Waterman and Robert Waterman; and supposing that Robert
Waterman is vnder age, the Court appoints the said Mr. Winslow and Anthony
Snow to bee gaurdian to him, as aboue said." This would naturally be supposed
to have taken place shortly after Ehzabeth (Bourne) Waterman's death, but that
it is known that she died in 1663 . Possibly the guardians were appointed two
years after her death, merely as a measure of financial protection for the two
boys, as there was a notation made on July 7, 1670, that Josias Winslow had
received thirty pounds from Ehzabeth from the sale of a parcel of land, which
he had used for the payment of Waterman's debts. She had sold this land to
Thomas Tilden, and Winslow specifically stated that "this sale was made by her
to the said Tilden, before her marriage with him." Waterman's inventory had
only amounted to seventy-eight pounds, while his debts were a hundred and
fourteen pounds. OnJuly 7, 1670, die Court formally approved of the sale of
the house to Tilden.” [L. Effingham deForest Moore and Allied Families:

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]

Biographical Summary #2:
“...As a boy in Holland, Thomas learned both the Dutch and the English
language and although there seems to be no record of his having attended the
university, his later life shows he received more than the ordinary
education” (Smith, page 42).
“In Leyden, young Willett was reared in the congregation of Reverend John
Robinson, the beloved pastor of the Pilgrims in Holland. Mr. Robinson had been
graduated from Cambridge University in 1599, where he received his Master’s
Degree, and removed to Holland in 1608. His son, Isaac Robinson, who was born
the following year, became one of Willett’s fast friends, and both boys
sailed to New England on the same ship” (Smith, page 42).
The return trip referred to above was the 1632 trip in the “Lion” that
Thomas Willett made after testifying at the trial of Isaac Allerton in London.
It was in 1620, that the small ship, Mayflower, crammed with 102 saints and
strangers, sighted southern New England just before the onset of winter. “Of
the passengers aboard the original Mayflower, only about 40 or so called
themselves saints (religious dissidents who had cut all the ties to the Church
of England which they regarded as hopelessly corrupt). The rest were
strangers, as the saints called them; humble folk recruited to fill out the
list. The strangers simply hoped to better their lot in the new world. Later
generations, influenced by seventeenth century romanticists, would lump them
all together as Pilgrims” (Cooke, page 48).
The story of the Pilgrims, is a separate story from that of our Thomas
Willett. The Pilgrim era was closing in March, 1629, when Thomas Willett,
sailed from Gravesend, England on the Mayflower with Captain William Pierce in
command. This was not, however, the Mayflower of 1620 which took the original
Pilgrims to Plymouth. In 1620, there were approximately 120 ships of English
registry, and 20 of these were named Mayflower.
On board this second Mayflower were 35 passenger [sic] from Leyden, Holland, a
portion of the Green Gate Congregation that included Isaac, Mercy, and Fear
Robinson (Planters of the Commonwealth, page 35). What reason prompted young
Thomas Willett to leave his family, parents and sisters, to settle in a “new
world” is unknown. He most likely was encouraged by his father to start a
new life away from the life of the exile in Holland.
Shortly after Thomas Willett’s arrival, the Colony's government sent him
north to take charge of their tradin post near the mouth of the Kennebec River
in what is now Main. A little later, a new tradin post was established on the
Penoscot [sic] River, about 50 miles up the Maine Coast from the Pilgrim
trading post at Kennebec. There was a royal proclamation against trading
weapons to the Indians. However, another agent, Edward Ashley, was illegally
furnishing the Indians with weapons in defiance of King Charles I proclamation
of November 24, 1630. Ashley was arrested and sent to England for trial before
the Privy Council. Young Thomas Willett had actually seen Ashley sell
contraband and was a star witness. However, this required that Willett return
to England. He and Isaac Allerton returned to England on Allerton's ship,
White Angel. On September 6, 1631, Willett gave his testimony. Ashley was
found guilty. This was only one of the problems and conflicts which faced the
Pilgrim community.
And even greater fraud had been continuously perpetuated [sic] on the
unsuspecting Pilgrims by Willett’s fellow traveller, Isaac Allerton.
Allerton had been acting as the Pilgrim’s agent in London who dealt with the
backers of Plymouth Plantation. Allerton had succeeded in running up the
Pilgrim’s [sic] debt, from £400 (about $20,000) to £4,770 (about $238,500)
in less than four years. Allerton was eventually dismissed from his position,
but he continually plagued the Pilgrim fathers for years afterward.
The return trip to New England was arranged. Thomas 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. 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.
The Dutch were suspicious of the English, particularly the English settlements
in Long Island, Connecticut, and Massachusetts. This is where Willett, born in
England, raised in Holland, was at his best, as an intermediator between the
Dutch and the English. He acquired a remarkable degree the confidence of the
Dutch, and also the Indians, as well as the English. When Governor Stuyvesant
first arrived in New Amsterdam, in 1647, to succeed Governor Kieft, a spirit
of intercolonial courtesy induced Governor Bradford, of Plymouth to write to
Stuyvesant, under the date of April 3d, 1647, congratulating him on his safe
arrival, and in the letter commending to the Dutch Governor, Thomas Willett
and William Paddie as men who [sic] he could trust. Stuyvesant accepted the
recommendation, finding it in accord with the sentiment of New Amsterdam; and
soon after appointed Captain Willett to represent the Dutch in a boundary
commission between New Netherlands and Hartford.
On March 7, 1647/48 Thomas Willett was made Captain of the Plymouth Company of
Militia. He succeeded Captain Miles Standish, that “little stovepipe” who
had died.
On June 6, 1649, he was made a surveyor of the highways. From 1651 until 1664,
he was a magistrate of the Plymouth Colony.
Captain Willett kept a residence in New Amsterdam. In 1655, he was one of the
320 taxpayers. He owned several ships, and perhaps one or all of them were
ocean-going vessels. In 1651, he purchased the frigate Palomne; he was
bondsman for Edmond Scarborough, late of Accomack County, Colony of Virginia,
for £5,000 in 1655; and about the same time purchased the ship Abraham’s
Sacrifice; he also owned the New Netherlands.
[p. 8] In 1660, Thomas Willett founded the town of Swansea, Rhode Island, and
here were [sic] Massachusetts and Rhode Island join, made his home. It must
have been a nice home. Willett was well-to-do, if not down-right rich. His son
John was living in New Amsterdam, perhaps as overseer to the Willett ventures
there. His son Hezekiah lived at Swansea, probably with his father.
In the summer of 1664, Governor Stuyvesant, and the Burgomasters and the Dutch
people had known that an English invasion was threatened.
On the 8th of September, 1664, Governor Stuyvesant surrendered in the face of
overwhelming force. Against the fleet of Col. Nichols, he could have only
brought to bear 100 men, 25 guns, and barely enough ammunition to fight for
one day. All Dutch rights were to be respected. The Dutch council then in
session would rule until the usual change in council members was made the next
spring. But the Dutch form of government was not customary in the King's
dominions, so Governor Nicolls [sic] decided to give the city a new charter
and government when June, 1665, came around. Who would be the first English
Mayor?
Captain Thomas Willett was chosen by Colonel Nichols to be the first English
Mayor of the renamed New York City. It was a natural choice made by a Colonel
who had avoiced bloodshed through negotiation. And Captain Thomas Willett was
one of the chief negotiators. Not only was he respected by the English, but
also by the Dutch. He spoke fluent Dutch and had a home in the city, along
with business interests. On June 12, 1665, Willett assumed his seat at the
head of the council. Of five aldermen on the council, three were Dutchmen who
had previously served. New York was then a small town of a few narrow streets,
south of Wall Street, lined with small thatched cottages and some big handsome
Dutch buildings.
On January 8, 1669, Thomas Willet's wife, Mary Brown, died at their home in
the Plymouth Colony. She was buried at Swansea.
Captain Willett married a second time, on September 19, 1671, he married Mrs.
Joyce Pruden.
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
as August 4, 1674 “in the 64th year of his age”. His will dated April 26,
1671 and probated on August 12, 1674, left bequests to his four sons, two
daughters, a brother-in-law and the church of Rehoboth. His wife Mary died on
January 8, 1699.

There are very detailed, scholarly analyses of the genealogy of Thomas Willet
published in Volume 80 of The New York Genealogical and Biographical Record
(1949)
Capt. Thomas Willett was the first English mayor of New York.
Colonial Mayor.
First Mayor of New York City. Arriving in 1632 on "The Lion" (with a religious
separatist movement that called themselves "The Saints", that fled England to
Leyd(e)n, Holland then went back to England to follow the Mayflower voyage),
Thomas Willett was a merchant that traded from Plymouth Colony, Massachusetts.
He succeeded Captain Miles Standish as head of the Colonial Militia and
negotiated what is now known as the "Rehoboth North Purchase" which acquired
land (now known as Attleboro and North Attleboro, Massachusetts) from
Wampanoag leader Sachem Wamsutta who was the son of famed chief Massasoit. He
later conducted sea trade from the Colonies and was a navigator from 1651 to
1654. When the charter of "New Amsterdam" was changed to British possession,
Governor Richard Nicholls granted the city charter on June 12, 1665 and the
city, population 1,500 at the time, got Thomas Willett as its English
representative/mayor, making him the first mayor of "New York". He served two
concurrent one-year terms from 1665 to 1667. His property in that colony was
confiscated when the Dutch reclaimed the area and he settled in the locale of
Barrington, Rhode Island (while some accounts have his retirement in Sewansea
or Seekonk, Massachusetts, these towns are all close and at the time the town
lines that currently exist were not the same.) He was married to Mary Brown
and together they had fourteen children. There is a large memorial marker
placed for him, and near it is the original weathered stone which, now
unreadable is documented as having the following inscription "1674 Here lyeth
the body of the worthy Thomas Willett, Esq. who dies August 4 in the 64th year
of his age, and who was the first mayor of New York and twice did sustain the
place." (bio by: R. Digati)

Date: 1657 ' Some Time after, he (Robert Hodgson) was examined before the
Governour, incensed against him by one Captain Willet of Plymouth, and
received Sentence, to work two Years with a Negro at the Wheel-barrow, or pay
a Fine of six Hundred Gilders. When he would have made his Defence, he was not
suffered to speak, but sent again to the Dungeon, and none of the English
People suffered to come to him. After some Days he was taken and pinion'd, and
being set with his Face toward the Court-Chamber, another Sentence was read to
him in Dutch, which he understood not.' Hodgson was then repeatedly beaten and
imprisoned his crime being to speaking his mind as to his own religious
preference.
Disputed Parents
Robert Charles Anderson states that he was possibly the son of Thomas and
Alice Willet of Leiden citing:
GEORGE CANNING BURGB88, A.B., “THOMAS WILLETT OF LEYDEN AND PLYMOUTH, FIRST
MAYOR OF NEW YORK” in New England Historical and Genealogical Register
(Boston, MA: NEHGS, 1907) Vol 61 p 157-64 see p 158 The author states that
there is no evidence he was the son of Rev. Andrew Willett. This theory was
proposed in NEHGR 2:276 simply stating that the name is rare and that Rev.
Andrew Willett had a lot of children. This claim was then repeated by other
authors without evidence. But there is an origin nearer to Leiden. He cited
Morton Dextor in “Members of Pilgrim Company at Leyden” p 639 that there
was a Thomas Willett and wife Alice who came from Norwich, England to Leiden
in the Puritan movement who lived for a while with Robert Browne who gave the
name “Brownists” to the separatists. He points out that our Thomas Willett
has a mastery of Dutch language, custom and manners and was probably born in
Leiden. And that our Thomas married Mary Brown. Dexter states that
“unqualifiedly, that he was the son of Thomas and Alice Willett.

Burial Notes
Tombstone inscription:
Here lyes ye Body of ye Hon. Thomas Willett esq. who died August ye 4th in ye
64th year of his age
I believe Anna & Grace may be the same daughter, many of the same documents
come up for both of them. Believe her name to be Anna Grace.
Of his eighteen children, nine sons and four daughters survived him. His widow
was buried in 1637 by his side. His son, Henry Willet (d. 1670), who lost a
fortune by his loyalty to the king, was apparently ancestor of Ralph Willett.
A special licence was granted to another son, Paul, in 1630, for a reprint of
the Synopsis Papismi. The fourth son, Thomas Willet, was the first mayor of
New York.
Andrew Willet (1562 - Dec 4, 1621) was an English clergyman and
controversialist. A prolific writer, he is known for his anti-papal works. His
views were Calvinist, conforming and non-separatist, and he appeared as a
witness against Edward Dering before the Star-chamber. Joseph Hall (who knew
him well) eulogised Willet in Noah's Dove, and Thomas Fuller modelled 'the
Controversial Divine' of his Holy State on him.
He was born at Ely in 1562, son of Thomas Willet (1511?-1598), who began his
career as a public notary, and later in life he took holy orders, becoming
rector of Barley, Hertfordshire, fourteen miles from Cambridge and admitted to
a prebendal of Ely by his patron, Bishop Richard Coxe, with whom he had been
associated as sub-almoner to Edward VI.
Andrew had one brother and four sisters. After attending the collegiate school
at Ely, he entered Cambridge University, matriculating at the age of fifteen
(20 June 1577); he first went to Peterhouse, the master of which was Andrew
Perne, his godfather, but in the same year moved to Christ's College,
Cambridge. He was quickly elected a scholar, graduated B.A. in 1581, was
elected to a fellowship at Christmas 1583 (aged twenty-one), proceeded M.A. in
1584, and in the same year was incorporated a member of the university of
Oxford. He was B.D. in 1591, and D.D. 1601. Among the fellows of Christ's, he
was on good terms with George Downham, and when Willet spent his vacations at
his father's rectory of Barley, he was often accompanied by Downham. He took
holy orders in 1585, and was admitted on 22 July 1587, on the presentation of
the queen, to the prebendal stall at Ely, which his father had resigned in his
favour.
In 1588 Willet left the university, and at Michaelmas, on his marriage with
Jacobine, a daughter of his father's friend Roger Goad, provost of King's,
gave up his fellowship. He earned a reputation as a preacher of power,
especially against the Catholics. He was selected to read the lecture for
three years in Ely Cathedral, and for one year in St. Paul's Cathedral,
London. In the same year he was presented to the rectory of Childerly in
Cambridgeshire. This living he held till 1594. He was admitted in 1597 to the
rectory of Gransden Parva in Huntingdonshire, but almost immediately moved, by
exchange to Barley, his father having died in April 1598 in his eighty-eighth
year. He was instituted on 29 January 1599. He spent most of his ministerial
life at Barley, being rector for twenty-three years. Willet's village
preaching is preserved in his Thesaurus Ecclesiae (an exposition of St. John
xvii.), which contains the substance of afternoon lectures addressed to his
parishioners. Willet persuaded Andrew Perne to leave by will an annual sum to
the poor scholars of the free school founded in the village of Barley by
Archbishop William Warham when rector; he also influence his friend Thomas
Sutton, founder of Charterhouse School.
He was chaplain-in-ordinary and tutor to Henry Frederick, Prince of Wales, as
well as a frequent preacher before the court. Willet got into trouble over the
Spanish match, to which he was strongly opposed. Under care of Sir John Higham
of Bury St. Edmunds he sent letters and arguments to the justices of Norfolk
and Suffolk, urging them to protest against the marriage. Willet himself
presented a copy of his arguments to the king, and, thereby incurring his high
displeasure, was committed to prison under the custody of Dr. White. He
appears to have been released after a month.
Towards the close of his life he was admitted (19 Jan 1613) to the rectory of
Reed, Hertfordshire, a parish adjoining that of Barley; but he only held it
something over two years, resigning in favour of his eldest son, Andrew, who
was admitted on 10 November 1615. The year before his death he was presented
to the rectory of the small parish of Chishill Parva, across the border in
Essex.
On his return home from London on Nov 24, 1621, his horse threw him near
Hoddesdon. His leg was broken and was set badly. Ten days later he died at the
inn to which he had been taken.
On Dec 8, 1621 he was buried in the chancel of Barley parish church.
An effigy and brass were placed by his parishioners and friends over the place
of burial in the floor of the nave below the pulpit.
The effigy showed a priest, full-length, dressed in his doctor's robes, with
square cap, ruff, and scarf, and wearing a beard. The effigy has since been
moved to the west wall of the church.
