 THE EMIGRANT HATHAWAYS

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

1. Arthur Hadaway (or Hathaway), Sr., settled at Marshfield in 1643, lived in Plymouth
in 1646 and afterwards removed to Dartmouth. He married, Nov. 20, 1652, Sarah Cooke
of Plymouth, a granddaughter of Richard Warren, Mayflower Pilgrim. There were many
descendants. In Braintree records, Nicholas Hathaway had a land grant for four heads,
Dec. 24, 1639/40. Two of these would be for Nicholas and his young son, John, and it
would appear that the other two might have been Arthur and John “of Barnstable.” For
further details, refer to #5226, line 2613, page 3, the first line numbered 3. Arthur
Hathaway and Sarah Cooke, his wife, had at least two children, both sons.
1. John Hathaway, born Sept. 17, 1653
2. Arthur Hathaway, Jr., born in 1655.

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

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

4. John Hadaway (or) (Hathaway), Sr., “of Barnstable” was born in England in 1617, as
appears on Custom House records and by his own deposition dated Mar. 1, 1658/9.
He came to America in the “Blessing” in July, 1635 at the age of 18. He was before
the General Court in 1637. In Braintree records, Nicholas Hathaway (# 5120, Line #5)
had a land grant for four heads, Dec. 24, 1639/40. Two of these would be for Nicholas
and his young son, John; and it would appear that the other two might have been
Arthur and John “of Barnstable”. He resided at Yarmouth in 1649 and was
summoned before the Plymouth Court for lending a gun to an Indian. He resided at
Barnstable in 1656. He married, (1), July 1, 1656, at the age of 39, which was very
late in life for those days, Hannah Hallet, a daughter of Andrew Hallet and Mary ---, of
Barnstable. Andrew Hallet came to America in 1637 and was in Plymouth in Mar.
 1638/9. He was a schoolmaster and was styled a “gentleman”, a title bestowed upon
few in the Colony. He was a man “possessed of a good estate.” Hannah Hallet “died
early”, and John Hathaway, Sr. married, (2) Elizabeth Coleman (born in Boston, Feb.
28, 1651/2, daughter of Edward Coleman of Yarmouth). She was 21 years of age at
the time of her marriage to John Hathaway, Sr. and she was 34 years younger than her
husband. They removed to Yarmouth. He was intemperate and wasted his own and
his wife's estate. His will was dated Aug. 3, 1689 and was probated Feb. 15, 1696/7.
In it he bequeathed to his second wife, Elizabeth, and to his sons, Thomas, John,
Gideon and Edward and to daughters (names not given) of his first wife, Hannah
Hallet; and his second wife (Elizabeth) to bestow on her two daughters. The only
names of children that can be found are mentioned in their father's will:
1. John Hathaway, Jr., born Aug. 6, 1658; by his first wife.
2. Hannah Hathaway, born 1662; by his first wife.
3. Edward Hathaway, born 1663 (?) if so, by his first wife.
At least one more daughter by his first wife.
Thomas Hathaway, first named in his father's will, but probably by his father's
second wife, Elizabeth.
Gideon Hathaway, probably by his second wife, Elizabeth.
Two other daughters by his second wife, Elizabeth.

 New England Historic & Genealogical Society

April 1929 Annual Reports

Report of the Committee on English & Foreign Research

By George Andrews Moriarty, Jr., Chairman

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

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

THE NAME, MERRICK

The name MEYRICK, or MERRICK and variously spelled, means Guardian. The
motto of the Welsh Meyricks, “Without God, nothing, God and enough”. The Merrick
family boasts a coat of arms and a crest. The name has been traced by professional
genealogists back to Coel Codebog, a Briton King, 262 B.C. Burke's Peerage, edition of
1887, page 946, says in part:

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

2. ESTHER LILLIAN ANDERSON

Webster Hathaway Merrick, (#2, line 1), son of Edward Clark Merrick
(#4, line #1) and Carrie Blanche Hathaway, (#5, line #1) was born at 8 AM on Tuesday,
October 20, 1891, at the home of his grandmother, Mrs. Boadicea T. Nash Hathaway
(#11, line #5) at the south-west corner of North Winnebago St. and Mulberry St. in
Rockford, Ill. He graduated from Ravenswood Grammar School, Chicago, in June 1906;
attended Lake View High School, Chicago for a year and graduated from the
Metropolitan Business College, Chicago in 1909. From 1910 to 1912 he was assistant
cashier for the Trowbridge & Niver Co., a municipal bond house then located at suite
400, First National Bank Bldg., Chicago; and he held the same position with the Hanchett
Bond Co., an outgrowth of the above mentioned concern, located at 39 S. La Salle St.,
Chicago. Moving to Rockford, Ill. April 25, 1912 with his mother, they made their home
with his mother's sister, Gertrude Lillian Hathaway Airis, (#10, line #5 sub line #1) and
her husband, John Walter Alexander Airis, at 818 Haskell Ave., Rockford. Mr. And Mrs.
Airis moved from Chicago to Rockford at the same time.

Three years employment with the Security Insurance Co. as assistant cashier was
followed by several months with the F. W. Woolworth Co.'s S. Main St. store as assistant
manager and then for the next three years he was assistant manager of the supply
department of the Western Department of the American Insurance Co. of Newark, New
Jersey, of which his mother's first cousin, Charles Ernest Sheldon, #20-2-1, line #5, page
2), was at that time and until his death on July 23, 1924, Western Department Manager
and the company's Vice President. Failing to pass the physical examinations for
enlistment in the army for service in the World War, and later in the draft, because of near
sightedness, he enlisted July, 1917 as a private in Company I, Tenth Regiment, Illinois
National Guard, then known as the Home Guard. Early in August, 1917 this militia
company was called, together with the rest of the Tenth Regiment, all of the Ninth
Regiment and the Eighth Regiment, (colored), for active training at Camp Lincoln,
Springfield, Ill. While at Springfield these three regiments were called for special service
on a coal mine strike that lasted until early October, 1917. Returning to Rockford he was
honorably discharged at that time, but continued his association with the company for
more than a year afterward.

He was employed as a mechanic for several months in 1919 in the shop of the
Ingersoll Milling Machine Co. and worked about a year in the shop of the Barber-Colman
Co., both in Rockford. From Aug. 11, 1920 until Sept. 23, 1928 he was Classified
Advertising Manager of the Rockford Morning Star, resigning to accept an offer in the
same capacity with the Rockford Daily Republic where he stayed exactly two years –
until the consolidation of all three of the Rockford newspapers in Sept. 1930.

The Rockford Journal, later styled the Rockford Daily Journal was organized by
the then Winnebago County Judge, the Hon. George T. Lidddell on Feb. 12, 1932 and he
was employed there in various capacities as advertising manager, covering both classified
and display advertising; Circulation Manager and Business Manager. The combination
of lack of adequate capital, multi-millionaire competition and the depression, brought an
early end to the Journal and it suspended publication in November, 1934. Leaving that
paper in February of that year because of the failure of the Journal to pay a living wage
and owed him a considerable amount in back wages, he was appointed a Deputy Assessor
by the Rockford Town Board and served under Assessor Gus S. Brown during the spring
and early summer of the years 1934 , 1935 and 1936. It is of interest to note Webster
Hathaway Merrick's grandmother's brother, Captain John Bird Nash, (#22, line #11),
served several terms as Rockford Township Assessor in the 1880's.

He married, July 16, 1924, Esther Lillian Anderson, (#3, line #1) daughter of John
Sanfred Anderson, (#6, line #3) and Harriet Amelia Bjork, (#7, line #3) of 1441
Greenwood Ave., Rockford, at the parsonage of the Swedish Evangelical Lutheran Zion
Church, corner of Sixth St. and Fifth Ave., Rockford. The Rev. Carl Solomonson
officiated. Esther Lillian Anderson was born on Second St. in Clinton, Iowa on Jan. 23,
1901. She graduated from the Jackson grammar school, (Rockford) and attended
Rockford High School. For a time she was employed in the mail order department of the
H. W. Buckbee Seed Farms of Rockford, owned by John T. Buckbee, later Congressman
from Illinois. From 1919 until the spring of 1924, just previous to her marriage, she was
employed in the payroll department of the National Lock Co. of Rockford. Mr. And Mrs.
Merrick and their children live (1935) in their own home at 1901 Latham St., Rockford,
Ill. There were three children, all girls, listed here in the order of their birth:

1. Carolyn Esther Merrick, (#1, line #1) born May 14, 1925 in the Swedish-American
Hospital, Rockford, Ill.

1. EDWARD CLARK MERRICK

1. CARRIE BLANCHE HATHAWAY

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

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

He attended Harvard Medical School in 1874 where Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes
was his professor in Anatomy; and President Elliott of Harvard University he remembers
very well. For the next nine years he was employed by a large firm of importers and
wholesalers of general merchandise and in 1883 he removed, with his brother, William
Oscar Merrick, to Rockford, Illinois, and together they opened a ladies' and gents'
furnishing goods store there under the name of “Merrick Bros.” They removed the
business to St. Paul, Minn. In 1889, stayed there about a year, closed out the business and
removed to Chicago early in 1890. William Oscar Merrick engaged in various enterprises
in Chicago for the first few years and in 1900 he entered the printing business in which he
is now (1936) engaged. Edward Clark Merrick engaged in the mortgage loan business
and operated his own office in the Reaper Block for 19 years. Closing out the business in
1913 he removed to a small farm property that he bought at Wauchula, Florida, which he
operated for two years, returning to Chicago in 1915. He later entered the employ of the
Aetna Insurance Company of Hartford, Conn., at 1827 Insurance Exchange Bldg.,
Chicago in 1917 as statistician and auditor which position he now (1936) holds.
 He was married at 9 P.M. on Wednesday, March 14, 1888 to Carrie Blanche
Hathaway, (#5, line #1), a daughter of the late George Willington Hathaway, (#10, line
#5) and Mrs. Boadicea T. (Nash) Hathaway, (#11, line #5), at the home of Mrs. H. W.
Loomis on North Court St., Rockford, the Rev. Douglas C. Peabody of the Emanuel
Episcopal Church of Rockford, officiating. The following three newspaper stores will be
found of interest:

From a Rockford newspaper (probably The Rockford Daily Gazette) of Wednesday,

March 9, 1888:-

MERRICK---HATHAWAY

The Approaching Nuptials of Ed. C. Merrick and Miss

Carrie Hathaway --- To be Married Next Wednesday.

The date has been fixed and the ceremony will no doubt be performed, if nothing
unforeseen prevents, on Wednesday, the 14th. We refer to the approaching nuptials of
Miss Carrie Hathaway and Edward C. Merrick, of the firm of Merrick Bros., the notion
dealers. It is given out on the quiet that the ceremony will be performed at the home of
the bride's mother on North Church Street next Wednesday evening, Rev. Douglas C.
Peabody, officiating. Only the relatives of the contracting parties will be invited. After
the ceremony the following day the couple will take a short wedding trip, and return to
handsomely fitted up apartments at Mrs. Hathaway's. Mr. Merrick came here from
Boston seven years ago, and has since then been in business with his brother. He has
many friends. Miss Hathaway is a Rockford girl, was educated in Boston, and her many
friends and acquaintances will be pleased to read of her approaching matrimonial event.
Vive la Mr. And Mrs. Merrick.

From a Rockford newspaper of March 15, 1888:-

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

Forasmuch as Edward C. Merrick and Carrie B. Hathaway have consented together in

holy wedlock, and have witnessed the same before God and this company, and thereto
have given and pledged their troth, each to the other, and have declared the same by
giving and receiving a ring, and by joining hands, I pronounce that they are man and wife,
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.

The hour was nine o'clock last night; the scene was the Loomis residence, the
speaker was Rev. D. C. Peabody, and the words were the simple but impressive words of
the marriage ritual according to the Episcopal church. One young lady who was present
struck the keynote when she said: “That's what I call an ideal wedding.” It was ideal, not
in the sense of elaboration or multitude of guests or gorgeousness of toilets, although the
latter was by no means lacking, but because every detail indicated the perfection of good
taste. The handful of favored guests were gracefully received by the bride's mother, Mrs.
Hathaway, and the hostess of the house, Mrs. Loomis. A bay window, banked with
flowers in tasty arrangement, indicated where the pair would stand to receive the seal of
the church upon their pledged troth. Mrs. Chandler Starr struck up Mendelsohn's
Wedding March, Rev. Peabody took his station, and the wedding party came in. Miss
May Loomis, the bridesmaid, leaning on the arm of W. O. Merrick, the groom's brother
and his best man; the bride followed, a vision of loveliness most refreshing to look upon,
accompanied by John H. Curtis, of Chicago, who gave her away according to the
requirements of the service. E. C. Merrick, the groom, entered from another room, and
met the radiant creature, whom he was soon to call his own, at the station by the bay
window. Always charming, with beauty of face than which Rockford possesses none
fairer, and with that gracefulness of heart which has shined with undisputed sway amid
the circle within which she has moved—Miss Hathaway needed not the accessories of the
dressmaker's highest art to proclaim her loveliness. But adorned in the pure white of the
bridal dress, she made a picture that held captive all eyes, and filled every male heart with
unspeakable envy for the Young Fortunatus who stood by her side. The costume was a
short suit of white, watered silk, veiled in Chantilly lace. Her only ornament was a
glistening diamond pin, the gift of one of her admiring gentlemen friends, who doubtless
allowed his envy to take this most graceful and expressive form. In her hand she carried a
bunch of rose buds, and wore at her breast a sprig of orange blossoms.

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

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

And so they were wed.

The congratulations, of course they were hearty; and of the refreshments, nothing more
need be said than that they were under the supervision of the mistress of the house, whose
skill in matters of the cuisine have won for her the reputation, if not the name, of “The
Delmonico of Rockford.” The bride and groom do not need an introduction to Rockford
people. Both are identified with the social life, and both have only friends to wish them
well, - no hostile hearts will speak with jealous depreciation at their present advent into
these happier realms. The bride has spent most of her life here, although for several years
she lived in Boston, acquiring the advantages, both educational and social, which the
“Hub” affords. The groom is a member of the firm of Merrick Brothers, young and
enterprising merchants, who have been steadily winning their way into increasing
public favor and confidence for the last five years, until they are recognized as two of our
most substantial and promising business men.

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

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

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

CUPID'S CAPERS

---

The wedding last evening of Miss Carrie B. Hathaway to

E. C. Merrick, at the home of Mrs. Loomis.

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

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

At nine o'clock, Mrs. Chan Starr seated herself at the piano and played a wedding march.
The bridal party came down stairs and marched to the bay window in the parlor, where
Rev. Douglas G. Peabody stood ready to perform the ceremony. The bridal couple were
attended by Miss May Loomis, who acted as bridesmaid, and Mr. W. O. Merrick, who
supported the groom. The parlor had been lavishly decorated with flowers and plants,
whose bright colors seemed a brilliant prophecy for the future of the young people. The
bride was arrayed in white moire silk and chantilly lace, low neck and short sleeves,
pointed in back and front, no train. She wore diamonds and a corsage of orange blossoms
and carried a bunch of white roses. To say that she looked enchanting, would be
superfluous as she was always so, but certain it is that she never looked better than on her
wedding night.
Miss May Loomis, the bridesmaid, wore a green plush skirt, with a waist and overdress
of a lighter shade of green surah, cut short, low neck, short sleeves, pointed in back and,
front trimmed with gold braid. She also wore diamonds, and a corsage bouquet of pink
rosebuds, and carried an elegant fan.

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

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

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

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

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

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

William Wells Merrick, (#8, Line #1), son of Timothy Merrick, (#16, Line #1) and Judith
Wells (#17, line #1), was born August 23, 1817 at Louden (now Louden Center), New
Hampshire. He married, June 28, 1851, Louisa Higgins Robinson, (#9, line #1) at
Manchester, N.H. She was a daughter of John Robinson. (#18, line #9) and his wife,
whose name is not known. Louisa Higgins Robinson was born Oct. 18, 1818 at
Machiasport, Maine, and she died June 5, 1887 at Boston, Mass. William Wells Merrick,
when a young man, went first to Metheun, Mass, where he was a tanner, and it is thought
he was also a shoemaker, up to the time he left there for Boston. From then until his
death, fifty years later, he was engaged in the leather business for himself in Boston. He
died Sept. 5, 1892, aged 75 years. There were four children.

1 William Oscar Merrick was born May 29, 1852 at Boston, Mass. He was
educated at Boston where he attended for three years, Charlestown High School,
which is located immediately across the street from Bunker Hill monument. He
was a member of the class that graduated in 1871. He was one of the original
supporters of the idea of establishing a corps of Cadets in the high school and
was a Cadet Lieutenant in one of the first companies formed. He was a member
of the Una Baseball Club (as was his brother, Edward Clark Merrick, (#4, line #1),
the best amateur baseball in New England, winning the Amateur Championship
of New England in 1870, 1871 and 1872. He played first base and the out-field
and was most active in baseball for many years. His first employment after
leaving school was in a wholesale and jobbing shoe business on Pearl St. in
Boston. After two years he went with a leading wholesale house handling
fancy goods, Yankee notions, toys, games, cutlery, etc., where he remained
ten years. In March, 1883, he removed, with his brother, Edward Clark
Merrick (#4, line #1) to Rockford, Illinois, where they opened a ladies' and gent's
furnishing goods store under the name of “Merrick Bros.” They moved the
business to St. Paul, Minnesota in 1889, and they stayed there about a year,
removing to Chicago in 1890. William Oscar Merrick engaged in various
enterprises there for the next few years and about 1900 he associated himself
with Mr. H. G. Adair, a printer—now the H. G. Adair Printing Co., 107 N.
Wacker Drive, Chicago, and he has remained with this firm up to the present
(1936) time. He never married. With the exception of about two years when his
brother, Edward Clark Merrick, lived near Wauchula, Florida (1913-1915),
these two men have lived together all of their lives. They both live now (1936) at
4334 Greenview Av., Chicago, Ill.

(10) GEORGE WILLINGTON HATHAWAY

(11) BOADICEA T. NASH

George Willington Hathaway, (#10, Line #5) son of Leonard Willington Hathaway,
(#20, line #5), and Caroline Maria Thompson, (#21, Line #5), was born Nov. 8, 1832 and
died at Rockford, Ill., April 20, 1874, age 41 years, 5 months and 12 days. He died of
consumption of the lungs, resulting in hemorrhages caused by his tearing off the doors of
his blazing barn to rescue his horses. He was engaged in the real estate business in
Rockford and sold fire insurance, his principal income being derived from buying
houses, remodeling them and then selling them. He married Boadicea T. Nash, (#11, line
#5), daughter of John Bird Nash, (#23, line #11) and Rachel Cutter Banks, (#23, line
#11). She was born in Parkman, Maine, Aug. 31, 1834 and died in Rockford, Ill.
Sept. 9, 1891, age 57 years, 9 days. George Willington Hathaway lived long enough after
his accident to convert his real estate holdings into cash, and he left his widow and his
children the sum of $20,000 on deposit with the Third National Bank of Rockford.
The widow and children spent the winter following his death at Jacksonville, Fla., as had
been the custom of the family for a number of years prior to her husband's death. She left
the money in the bank, subject to a power of attorney in favor of her late husband's
brother, Franklin Leonard Hathaway, (Hist . #20, sub line 10). The intention being that
Franklin could use a reasonable part of this fund in an effort to regain his health that had
been impaired as a result of the care and attention he had given his brother, George, in
George's last illness, and also that Franklin could take care of some odds and ends of
some business affairs that were needing attention when the family left for Florida.
However, when the family returned to Rockford, the fund was entirely exhausted and
Mrs. Hathaway was forced to immediately begin to earn a living for herself and family.
She opened a boarding house on N. Church St. in Rockford later moving to the south-
west corner of Mulberry and Winnebago Sts., where she also kept a few boarders. It was
conceded to be the best boarding house in Rockford, although successful only in earning
a living for the family. Both George Willington Hathaway and Boadicea T. Nash
Hathaway, his wife, are buried in the Hathaway family lot, lot 39, section 3 in Cedar
Bluff cemetery, Rockford. This lot was purchased from the cemetery association by
Caroline Maria Thompson Hathaway, (#21, Line #5) for the sum of $10 in 1854. It was
placed under perpetual care in 1923 by Webster Hathaway Merrick, (#2, line #1) upon
payment of $125. There were three children, listed in the order of their birth:

1 Gertrude Lillian Hathaway was born June 15, 1863, at Rockford, Ill., and married,
Oct. 29, 1879, at the age of a little over 16 years, in Wisconsin, Fred Mc Cord Loomis,

County court docket #12,039), the degree granted by Circuit Judge Crabtree. She
married, (2), Sept. 15, 1891, John Walter Alexander Airis, son of John Alexander Airis
and Janet Ballingel Fergrieve Airis at the home of his parents at Janesville, Wis. John
Alexander Airis was born in Windy Waces, near Kelso, in Roxburgshire, Scotland, June
18, 1815 and died Aug. 9, 1897 at Janesville, Wis., age 82 years, 1 month and 21 days.

Scotland and died Aug. 22, 1914 at Janesville, Wis., age 96 years, 7 months and 21 days.
They are both buried in the Airis family lot in Oak Hill cemetery at Janesville. John
Walter Alexander Airis, one of eight children, was born Feb. 14, 1861 at Janesville, and
as a young man served Wells, Fargo & Co. Express, as express messenger and cashier at
Albuquerque and Silver City, New Mexico, and later operated a shoe store with
Alexander Richardson and with Charles H. Hemming, both of Janesville, at Rockford, Ill.
After closing the store, he obtained a traveling position with a shoe manufacturing
concern, covering the west coast, and later with the Irving Drew Co., manufacturers of
women's shoes, of Portsmouth, Ohio, he traveled in Illinois and Iowa. Retiring from the
road in 1930, he is (1935) employed by the Rockford Metal Specialty Co., in Rockford.
He lives (1935) with his nephew, Webster Hathaway Merrick (#2, line #1) and the latter's
family, at 1325 Burton St., Rockford, Ill. His wife, Gertrude Lillian Hathaway Airis, died
Jan 26, 1929, of bronchial pneumonia at Rockford, age 65 years, 7 months and 11 days.

3. George Warner (or Willington, or Warren) Hathaway, was born in 1867 at Rockford,
Ill. At the age of 17, (about 1884), he left Rockford in the company of a party of
friends of the family and went to Montana, where at Jennings, Lincoln County, he
homesteaded a quarter section of land and did a lot of prospecting and mining in his
own mines, of which he had nearly a dozen, all of them containing liberal deposits of
both silver and gold. In this work he was moderately successful, hampered though he
was by the lack of adequate capital for complete development. At one time he was
sheriff of Lincoln County, (Libby county seat), and for a time owned and operated a
saloon at Libby. He married, (1), Kate ---, whose father was at one time a Governor of
Utah. She died and was buried on July 26, 1904 in lot 318, section F, in the C. E.
Conrad Memorial cemetery, at Kalispell, Montana. George W. Hathaway married, (2),
Etta Williams, who had also been married previously and had at least one, possibly
two children by her first husband. George W. Hathaway and Etta Williams Hathaway,
his wife, separated and she obtained a divorce from him at Spokane, Wash. In 1923 or
1924. She has since married, (her third marriage) Louis Grindell of Spokane and in
1924 they lived there. George W. Hathaway died at his ranch near Jennings on Nov.
22, 1931, apparently from heart failure. He is buried beside the body of his first wife
at Kalispell. Waggener & Campbell, undertakers of Kalispell, had charge of the
funeral. There were no children by either marriage.

liver and bladder trouble, aged 77 years, 11 months and 22 days. He

1877. She was a sister of Walter Van Alstine who lived in Rockford a
great many years prior to his death a few years ago (Written 1935). She
deserted her husband and ran off with a Mr. Smith (an intimate friend of
her husband's) and took her two children, Ferre and Vera. Nothing further

Association, 111th St. and California Ave., Chicago, writes that A. L. Hathaway
purchased, Sept. 12, 1900, the south one half of lot 208 in section 9 and
that the following burials are shown on their records:
Fredericka M. Hathaway, buried Oct. 11, 1901. This may be
Freida, Al's third wife, but if so, her death date, as given
above, and the cemetery record of her burial do not agree.
Frances E. Hathaway, (may be “Florence”), removed to this lot
from Oakwoods cemetery, Chicago, on May 15, 1902.
Harry Hathaway, buried Apr. 4, 1909
Albert L. Hathaway, buried Jan. 28, 1928.

10 Franklin Leonard Hathaway, born Aug. 10, 1852 at Rockford, Ill., and died
May 25, 1876 at Rockford, aged 23 years, 9 months and 15 days. He died

and attention he gave his brother, George Willington Hathaway (#10, line #5)
in his last illness.

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

one record although it is supposed that her mother, Mary Richardson, died on
Apr. 20, 1772. Possibly these dates are reversed. There is doubt as to the correct
date of Mary Belknap's death, one record says she died Jan. 14, 1841 while
another says she died Mar. 6, 1808. Her husband, Nathan Richardson, died in 1816.

and came to America in the ship “James” in the spring of 1636 with his
three brothers, William, born 1603; John, born 1614; Thomas, born 1620;
and (probably) his sister, Sarah Mirick, (#2791, line #1395). James Mirick, Sr.
was in Charlestown in 1636; he married, 1652 or 1653, Margaret --- , (#257, line
1). He was a fisherman and cooper by trade and owned his own place of business on
the waterfront of Charlestown. If the supposition that he was born in St. Davids,
Pembrokeshire, Wales, is correct, his choice of occupation is easily accounted for,
as St. Davids depended entirely upon its fishing for the support of its population.
In 1657 he removed to Newbury and became a farmer. The records of Charlestown
show that “James Mirick (Sr.), aged 52 years in 1664, deeded to his son, James
(Jr.) in Newbury, lands situated in Newbury.” The date of his death is not found
in the records, but he died before his wife, who died Apr. 2, 1708 at Newbury.
There were eight children, listed in the order of their birth:

1 James Mirick, Jr., born about 1654 at Charlestown, Mass.

He married Rebecca Warren, (#321 line #5), a daughter of Joshua Warren,

or 17, 1744 or 1749 (various records disagree). The following inscription
appears on the considerably ornamented slate stone above his grave: “In
memory of Isaac Hathaway, died June Ey 7th, 1749 in the 45th year of his age.”
Also: “There are more persons in Freetown bearing the name of the Hathaways
than any other and have been for years past, and next to the Hathaways comes
the Chases.” It is the oldest inscription to be found in the old burying ground
near the First Christian Chapel in Freetown, Mass. There was a division of the estate
of Isaac Hathaway in May 1750; his widow, Rebecca (Warren) Hathaway was
guardian over Daniel, Susanna and Prudence. There were seven children,

nation in 1881. Married, 1858, Lucretia
Rudolph, of Hiram, Ohio. She was a

William Hutchinson and his wife,
Anne (Marbury) Hutchinson, of royal
descent. General James Abram Garfield
was descended from William the
Conqueror through John Warren, Jr.,
(#2608, line #163). That descent is
outlined on the back page of line #163 in
my Lineage Chart Book. In an advertise-
ment of the New York Life Insurance
Company in the Feb. 23, 1936 issue of
the Saturday Evening Post, appears
the following:
 “The Education of a President”
A biographer of James A. Garfield,
twentieth President of the United
States, writes; “The struggling,
hardworking boy had developed into
a self-reliant man . . . He had saved
from his school teaching and
carpenter work about half enough money
to carry him through the two years
in which he thought he could finish
the ordinary college course. He was
growing old, and he determined that
he must go that fall. How to procure
the rest of the needed money was a
mystery; but, at last, his good
character, and the good will this
brought him, solved the question. He
was in vigorous, lusty health and a
life insurance policy was easily obtained.
This he assigned to a gentleman, who
thereupon loaned him what money he
needed, knowing that if he lived, he would
pay it, and if he died the policy would
secure it. Garfield attended Williams
College, graduating in 1856. Thus
did life insurance play a part in starting
him upon a career which was finally
crowned with the Presidency. Later in
life, President Garfield, insured for
$25,000 through a representative of
the New York Life. He had paid their
first premium on this policy only a
few months before an assassin's bullet
made him one of our martyred
Presidents.”

Mary ---, , (#2565, line #641), was born in 1639 at Yarmouth and was baptized
at Roxbury, Apr. 18, 1652. He was a cooper by trade and lived at Portsmouth,
R.I. and at Freetown, Mass. He married, about 1673, Philippi (spelled variously,
Philippa, Philippe and Phillipi) Sherman, (#1283, line #641), daughter of the
Honorable Philip Sherman, (#2566, line #1283) and Sarah Odding, (#2567, line
#1283). Philippi Sherman was born Oct. 1, 1652 and was the thirteenth and
last child of her parents. Benjamin Chase, Sr. was admitted freeman at
Portsmouth, R.I. In May, 1674, and lived at Freetown as early as 1679 where
he was chosen surveyor June 2, 1685, and constable June 1686 (Plymouth
Colony Records, vol. 6, pp. 167, 187). He was chosen assessor there in
1691, and was a selectman in 1698, 1699 and 1705. On Mar. 6, 1705 he was
appointed guardian of his granddaughter, Sarah Makepeace. He and his wife
joined the Sabbatarian Church at Newport, R.I., April 17, 1717.
In his will, dated Sept. 6, 1730 he bequeathed to his sons Benjamin
(Jr.) and Walter, his lands at Freetown; to his grandson, Benjamin Grinnell his
40 acre lot in Middleborough; to his daughter, Bethia Dunham one half of a lot
in Middleborough and a cow; to his daughter, Philippe Hathaway and his
son-in-law, (Ensign) Jacob Hathaway (#640, line #5) land in Freetown,
excepting a lot 3 rods square which was to be reserved for a burying place; to
his daughter, Philippe, 20 pounds and the furniture that he had moved to his
son-in-law's house; to his granddaughter, Sarah, wife of Isaac Hathaway (who
was the third child and son of John Hathaway, Jr., (#1280, line #5) and Hannah
Burt, (#1281, line #5) one cow; and to his grandchild, Daniel Grinnell, 5 acres.
(Bristol County Probate Records).
Benjamin Chase, Sr. died at Freetown, Mass. between Sept. 6, 1630,
when his will was dated, and July 25, 1731. when it was proven. A list of his
children follows.
Children of Benjamin Chase, Sr. and Philippi Chase, his wife:
1 Mary Chase, born about 1674. She was not mentioned in her father's will
which was dated Sept. 6, 1730. It is very likely that she was not living
at the time the will was drawn. She married Thomas Makepeace and
there was at least one child, a daughter:
1 Sarah Makepeace, who married, Mar. 6, 1705, Isaac Hathaway who
was a son and third child of John Hathaway, Jr., (#1280, line
5) and Hannah Burt, (#1281, line #5). Sarah Makepeace's
grandfather, Benjamin Chase, Sr., (#1282, line #641), was
appointed her guardian Mar. 6, 1705, which was the date of
her marriage and that would indicate that her mother was
dead at the time, thus explaining why her mother was not
mentioned in her grandfather's will. One cow was bequeathed
to Sarah Makepeace.
2 There was evidently another daughter, name not given, who married a Mr.
Grinnell and they had at least two children:
1 Benjamin Grinnell, who was bequeathed a 40 acre lot in Middle-
borough, by his grandfather, Benjamin Chase, Sr. in his
will dated Sept. 6, 1730.
2 Daniel Grinnell, who was bequeathed five acres of land by his
grandfather, Benjamin Chase, Sr., in his will dated
Sept. 6, 1730.
3 PHILIPPI CHASE, (#641, line #5).
4 Benjamin Chase, Jr., born July 15, 1682 in the region which appears in
the records in July 1683 as the town of Freetown. He also lived at
Portsmouth, R.I. He married, at Taunton, June 23, 1703, Mercy
Simmons. Soon after his marriage, he moved from Portsmouth
to Freetown. He was baptized at the Sabbatarian, (Seventh Day
Baptist Church), at Newport, R.I., Sept. 25, 1716 and his wife
was baptized at the same church May 15, 1717 or 1718. They
had eight children, all born at Freetown. In his father's will,
dated Sept. 6, 1730, Benjamin Chase, Sr. bequeathed to his
sons, Benjamin Chase, Jr. and Walter Chase, lands in Freetown.
Benjamin Chase, Jr. died at Westerly, R.I. In 1767.
5 Walter Chase, born at Freetown, Oct. 23, 1684; lived at Freetown and
he died there. He married at Taunton, Jan. 29, 1706/7,
Deliverance Simmons (perhaps a sister of Mary Simmons).
They had 12 children. In his father's will, dated Sept. 6, 1730,
Benjamin Chase, Sr. bequeathed to his sons, Benjamin Chase,
Jr. and Walter Chase, lands in Freetown.
6 Bethia Chase, born at Freetown, Dec. 3. 1686 and was living when her
father made his will, Sept. 6, 1730, in which he bequeathed her
one half of a lot in Middleborough and a cow. She married

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

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

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

“History of Middlesex County”, by W. R. Cutter, agrees with the first two

lines above, but claims that the third line should be:

John Lathrop.

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

Thomas Lathrop who was of Bramshall of Leighe, Staffordshire, and that

he married Mary Salte. Mary Salte was a daughter of Robert
Salte (of Yoxall and Gauch) and his wife, who was a daughter of
John Saint Andrews of Gotham, county of Nottingham, and that
Thomas Lathrop's father was:
Michael Lathrop.

“Genealogical Memoirs of the Lo-Lathrop Families”, by Rev. E. B.

Huntington, says that Rev. John Lathrop, (#5588, line #1397),
was a son of:

Thomas Lathrop, who resided at Etton in the Wapentake of Harthill,

East Riding of Yorkshire; married Mary Salte; and that HIS
father was:
Robert Lathrop and that HIS father was:
John Lathrop of the Parish of Cherry Burton.

John Hathaway, Sr., (#2560, line #5), son of Nicholas Hathaway,

(#5120, line #5) and --- --- , (#5121, line #5), was born about 1629 in
England, or possibly in Wales. Came to America in 1639 with his father ( and
probably his mother) at the age of about ten years. They landed at Boston,
removing to Taunton about 1639 or 1640. Bristol County Records, vol. II, says
“John Hathaway made the declaration that his knowledge of the boundaries and
occupation of certain portions of the town extended as far back as 1639 or 1640”.
He was about ten years of age at that period, as, according to another diposition
in the same volume, a statement he made in relation to his age, shows that he
must have been born in 1629. He took the Oath of Fidelity in 1657 and in
1658 he is recorded as having “seven heads in his family”. He was made a
freeman in 1670 and according to Colonial laws, “none could be admitted as
freemen but such as were 21 years of age, and had the testimony of their
neighbors that they were of sober and peaceable conversation, orthodox in the
fundmentals of religion, and such as had 20 pounds ratable estate at least in the
Government”. In 1652 John Hathaway, Sr. and the brother, James Leonard
(#2588, line #647) and Henry Leonard, built the first iron foundry in Plymouth
County at Taunton, Mass., called the Leonard Iron Works. In 1671 in consid-
eration of 52 pounds, he purchased the 18th lot of the Freetown lands and
thereupon established his eldest son, John Hathaway, Jr., who became one of the
leading citizens of that locality. In 1676 John Hathaway, Sr. was elected
Constable. Of this position, Colonial history says, “the office of Constable was
one of great responsibility and power, as representing the civil government and
being the chief exponent of the law”. In 1680 he was elected a Deputy to the
Plymouth General Court and served for five successive years. He is mentioned
many times in the Plymouth Court Records as serving on the Grand Jury and as
being administrator of estates. In 1696 and 1697 he was a representative to the
Massachusetts General Court (Legislature) and with this, his public
services end. His home was in that part of Berkley known as “The Farms”.
The dwelling house was situated towards the north, where, as the deed specifies,
the land abuts “on the Great River”. The place is designated by an iron tablet
erected in 1889 by the Old Colony Historical Society. John Hathaway, Sr.
married (1), in 1649 in Braintree at the age of 20, Martha Shepherd (#2561, line #5),

(2564) WILLIAM CHASE, SR.

William Chase, Sr., (#2564, line #641). The following are brief extracts
from “Some of the Descendants of William Chase of Rosbury and Yarmouth,
Mass.” contributed by John Carroll Chase of Derry, N.H., as compiled for him
by George Walter Chamberlain, M.S., of Malden, Mass. Published in the
January 1933 number of the N.E. Hist. & Gen. Reg., vol. LXXXVII. Some
additional data from other sources has been added, including Savage and the
Compendium.
William Chase, Sr. was born in England about 1600. He was a carpenter
by trade. He married in England before 1627, Mary ---, (#2565, line #641) and
they had a son, William Chase, Jr., who was born to them in England in 1622
according to one record, but another record says “as early as 1627”. They came
to America with Winthhrop (later to become Governor) and his fleet in 1630
and settled at Roxbury, Mass. He also lived at Yarmouth where all but his
first child were born. He was the first of the Chase name to settle in New
England. William Chase, Sr. and his family lived at Roxbury from 1630 to 1638;
and the following information about him and his family has been copied from the
records of the church at Roxbury, kept by Rev. John Eliot:
“William Chase, he came with the first company, 1630; he brought one
child, his son William, a child of ill qualities, and a sore affliction to his
parents. He was much afflicted by the long and tedious affliction of his wife;
and after his wife's recovery she bare him a daughter, who they named Mary
borne aboute the middle of the 3rd month (May) 1637. He did after remove
(intending) to Scituate, but after went with a company who maide a new
plantation at Yarmouth.” (Roxbury Church Records, pp. 73-74).
“Mary Chase, the wife of William Chase. She had a paralitik humor
wich fell into her backbone, so yet she could not stir her body, but as she was
lifted, and filled her with great torture, & caused her backbone to go out of
joynt, & bunch out from the beginning to the end of wich infirmity she lay
4 years & a halfe, & a great part of the time a sad spectakle of misery: But
it pleased God to raise her againe, & she bore children after it.” (Ib., p. 75).
William Chase was named, Oct. 19, 1630, among those (who desire to
be made freemen;” and he was made a freeman of the Massachusetts Bay
Colony on May 14, 1634. (Reg. Vol. 3, pp. 90, 92). “In 1639 he moved to
Yarmouth on Cape Cod, was appointed constable for the town of Yarmouth by the
General Court of the Plymouth Colony, Mar. 5, 1638/9, and took the oath of
office June 4, 1639.” (Plymouth Colony Records, vol. 1, pp. 118, 125).
“His life at Yarmouth was not a peaceful one . . . (was censured for
certain actions, disagreements – evidently inclined to be self-important – brief
authority). Carpenter by trade . . built house for Dr. Thomas Starr which was
sold to Andrew Hallet. (Swift's History of Yarmouth, p. 29) in 1642 mortgaged
to Stephen Hopkins (Mayflower Pilgrim) as security for debt of 5 pounds “his house
and lands in Yarmouth containing eight acres of upland and six acres more laying at
the Stony Cove.” (Plymouth Colony Deeds, vol. 1, p. 83).
At the General Court held at Plymouth, June 6, 1654, the Great Enquest”
presented “William Chase, Senr. Of Yarmouth for driving one pair of oxen in
the yoke upon the Lords day, in time of exercise, about five miles.” (Ib. vol.
3, p. 52).
“The estate of John Derby of Yarmouth was indebted to William Chase,
Feb. 22, 1655 (Mayflower Desc. Vol. 14, p. 112). William Chase was a
surveyor of highways in Yarmouth 1657. Will dated May 4, 1659 and witnessed
by Richard Hoar and Mary Dennis: To my son BENJAMINE . . . one heifer
calfe and 2 steer calves. “To my son William who hath had of mee alreddy a good
portion the sume of five shillings . . . All the rest . . . to Mary, my wife . . at her
death she was to dispose of one-third as she desired, the other 2/3 to go to
Benjamin. Inventory follows . . . before Governor Thomas Prence. Mary Chase
died on or before Oct. 6, 1659 when the division of the estate was made. Inquest
followed – natural death. There were three children, listed in the order of their
birth:
1 William Chase, Jr., born in England “as early as 1627”, although one
reference states that he was born in 1622. He died at Yarmouth Feb. 27,
1684/5. He married, (1) about 1644, --- ; married (2) --- ---. Said to
have had 4 children by each wife and that his second wife was
Elizabeth Holder, but this has been proved to have been impossible in
a comparison of ages . . . She was born in 1664 in Newport, R.I. No
other Holder family has been found in New England before 1700.
William Chase, Jr. was “a child of ill qualitys, & a sore affliction to
his parents.” From Record of General Court held at Plymouth, Mar. 6,
1654/5: “William Chase, Junr. For goeing into the house of Richard
Berry and taking away by violence a p'cell of flax and a smale p'cell
of hose yarns, was sentenced to sitt in the stockes an houre on a
training day att Yarmouth.” (vol. 3, p. 74). He lived near Herring
river, on the East side of Bass river in Old Yarmouth, in the part
which is now either Dennis or Harwich. His estate settled by order
of the General Court June 2, 1685. His children:
1 William Chase III, probably by his father's first wife; born at Yarmouth about
1645. He lived at Portsmouth, R.I., Dartmouth,
Freetown and Swansea. He married, (1), at Portsmouth, Hannah
Sherman (b. Feb. 1647/8), one of the thirteen children of the
 Honorable Philip Sherman, (#2566, line #1283) and Sarah (Odding)
Sherman, (#2567, line #1283), who were our emigrant ancestors.
William Chase III married, (2), at Portsmouth, Dec. 6, 1732, Priscilla
Perry. His will was dated Jan. 23, 1732/3 and he died at Portsmouth
in 1737 (before Aug. 16). He had six children by his first wife.
2 Jacob Chase, probably by his father's first wife, was born about 1647 at
Yarmouth and he married Mary Hall. He died at Swansea.
3 Jacob Chase, probably by his father's first wife, was born Apr. 6, 1649,
at Yarmouth. He married, 1669, Elisabeth Baker, daughter of
Francis Baker and Isabel (Twining) Baker, of Yarmouth.
4 Elizabeth Chase, probably by her father's first wife, was born before 1656 at
Yarmouth and married May 27, 1674, Daniel Baker, son of Francis
Baker and Isabel (Twining) Baker of Yarmouth.
5 Abraham Chase, probably by his father's second wife, was born at
Yarmouth and married Elizabeth ---; and he died at Tiverton, R.I.
6 Joseph Chase, probably by his father's second wife, was born at
Yarmouth about 1673. He lived at Portsmouth, R.I. He married
Sarah Sherman, a daughter of Sampson (or Samson) Sherman, Sr.
and Isabel (or Isabella) Tripp (or Trip). Sampson Sherman, Sr. was
one of the thirteen children of the Honerable Philip Sherman, (#2566,
line #1283) and Sarah (Odding) Sherman, (#2567, line #1283), who
were our emigrant ancestors. Joseph Chase and Sarah (Sherman) Chase,
his wife, were members of the Society of Friends.
7 Benjamin Chase, probably by his father's second wife, was born at
Yarmouth, lived at Portsmouth, R.I. And at Tiverton (then in Mass., but
since 1747 in Rhode Island). He married at Portsmouth, Nov. 21, 1696,
Amie Borden, daughter of John Borden and Mary (Earle) Borden. Amie
Borden was born at Portsmouth, May 30, 1678, and died at Freetown
of the Society of Friends.
8 Samuel Chase, probably by his father's second wife, was born at
Yarmouth, lived at Portsmouth, R.I. And at Swansea. He married
at Portsmouth, 1699, Sarah Sherman, (b, at Portsmouth) Apr. 10,
1682), a daughter of Samuel Sherman and Martha (Tripp) Sherman.
Samuel Sherman was one of the thirteen children of the Honorable
Philip Sherman, (#2566, line #1283), who were our emigrant
ancestors. Samuel Chase died before 1758. He and his wife at at
least one child, a daughter:
1 Martha Chase, who married Ezekiel Fowler, son of Samuel
Fowler and Hannah Bowen who was a daughter of Samuel
Bowen. Ezekiel Fowler died at Salem in 1736 and his
widow married, (2) Samuel Bowen in 1749. He was,
undoubtedly, a relative of her first husband's mother.
2 Mary Chase, born about May 15, 1637; buried at Barnstable or at Yarmouth,
 as “daughter of Goodman Chase, ye elder,” buried Oct. 28, 1652.

The Honorable Philip Sherman, (#2566, line #1283, son of Samuel

Sherman, (#5132, line #1283) and Phillipa (or Phillipa) Ward-Upcher (or
Upcher-Ward), (#5133, line #1283), was born Feb. 5, 1609 or 1610 in
England and came to America in 1633 single man, and settled at Roxbury,
Mass. He was appointed a freeman May 14, 1634, his name being first
on the list of freemen after that of Governor Haynes. During the Anne
Hutchinson troubles in Boston he took the popular side but Governor
Winthrop prevailed and Philip Sherman was disarmed in November, 1637, and
was banished from the Colony a year later. He found it convenient to move
to what is now the state of Rhode Island which Roger Williams who at that
time (1637) was at Providence, advised purchasing from the Indians and that
purchase was completed Mar. 24, 1638. On July 1, 1639 a regular government
was established of which Coddington was chosen Governor and Philip Sherman
was made Secretary (and possibly, Recorder) of what was called the Providence
Plantation”. After this he frequently held office in the Colony, and having
intelligence, wealth and influence, was considered and consulted by those in
authority. Early records left by him show him to be an educated man. “He
was a devout, but determined man”. In remaining in Rhode Island he left
the Congregational Church and joined the Society of Friends. He was a member
of the Court of Commissioners, 1656; Deputy to the General Court (Legislature),
1665-1667 and member of the Council during King Philip's War. He married
in America, Sarah Odding, (#2567, line #1283), a daughter of George Odding
and Margaret --- . George Odding died and his widow married, (2) John
Porter. Sarah Odding was born in Dedham, England. There were thirteen
children of whom I have a record of six. They are not listed in the order of
their birth. Phillipi (or Philippi) Sherman, our ancestor, was the thirteenth and
last child.

In 1648 and she was one of thirteen children as also her husband .

record as aiding in the establishment of the foundry, known as the Leonard
Iron Works. Annually, for over a hundred years the ore was dug and
“charcoal iron” was made which passed for currency. This ore was mined
within a half mile of the works and yielded abut 25% iron and 75% useless

(2592) ROGER WILLINGTON

(2593) MARY PALGRAVE

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

Roger Willington, (#2592, line #81) was born about 1609 or 1610 in
England. He was one of the first settlers of Watertown, Mass. The family
name was spelled “Willington” in England and in Ireland, and was so
spelled by Roger Willington, which is proved by his signature; and was so
spelled by our branch of the family, but the eastern branch changed it to
“Wellington”, beginning with Roger Willington's children. Roger
Willington's first home was on the site of Mt. Auburn cemetery. He was a
planter; was a selectman many times from 1678 to 1691, meetings being
recorded as held at “Father Willington's”. He was admitted a freeman in
1690, the same day as were two of his sons, Benjamin and Palgrave. He
married about 1637, Mary Palgrave, (#2593, line #81) (also spelled
“Palsgrave”, a daughter of Dr. Richard Palgrave, (#5186, line #2593) and
Ann Harris, (#5187, line #2593). Roger Willington died Mar. 11, 1698 and
left a “good estate”. There were six children, listed by Savage in the
following order:

1 John Wellington, note change in spelling of last name), born July 25, 1638;
lived in Cambridge; married Susannah Straight, a daughter of Captain
Thomas Straight; probably had no children. Bond says he was a
freeman in 1677, but this means no more than that he took the
Oath of Allegiance, for he was not admitted a freeman. He made
his will Jan. 4, 1715, and died Aug. 23, 1726. His widow died
Jan. 27, 1729.
2 Mary Wellington, born Feb. 10, 1641; married, (1), May 21, 1662,

His wife was Isabel --- , (#2595, line #1297) and she received alms from the
church from 1691 (nine years after her husband's death) until the day of her
death, Dec. 12, 1709, a period of about 18 years. No explanation can be found
for this situation and it seems strange in view of the fact that she had several
children living at the time of her death, who were of adult age. Thomas Swoetman
was a freeman, dated, according to Savage, May 2, 1638, but as this date is
before he is recorded as having come to America, it is thought to be in error,
unless the date of his arrival, “about 1645” is incorrect. There were at least six
children, and Savage says, “there may also be three other children”. All were
baptized except Thomas Swoetman, Jr., (fifth child). Savage lists the children
in the following order:

1 ELIZABETH SWOETMAN, (#1297, line #81).

2 Rebecca Swoetman, born Apr. 2, 1649; married Michael Spencer.
3 Mahitable Swoetman, born about 1650.

Treadway.
5 Thomas Swoetman, Jr., born Jan. 16, 1656; lived only a few days and
was not baptized.
6 Rhamah Swoetman, born Mar. 28, 1657.

The three other children mentioned by Savage:

1 Samuel Swoetman, born Apr. 19, 1659.

2 Bethia Swoetman, born July 7, 1661; married James Hewes of Boston.
3 Hepzibah Swoetman, baptized June 19, 1666; died Jan. 8, 1683, aged
73 (?) years.

(2609) MARGARET ---

John Warren, Jr., (2608, line #163), son of John Warren, Sr. of
Nayland, county Suffolk, England, and his first wife, Elizabeth Scarlett,
was born in England in 1585 and she was baptized Aug. 1, 1585 in the
town of his birth. He came to America in the “Arbella”, embarking Apr. 8,
1630 at Yarmouth, England and arrived at Salem, Mass. June 12, 1630. The
“Arbella” was a member ship in the fleet under the command of Sir Richard
Saltonstall. John Warren, Jr. was about 45 when he came to America. Soon
after arriving here he worked with Abraham Browne, (#1310, line #655),
another of our ancestors. He settled at Watertown, Mass.; was appointed a
freeman Apr. 18, 1631 and was chosen a Selectman from 1636 to 1640. He
married Margaret ---, (#2609, line #163) who died Nov. 6, 1662 and she is
thought to be the mother of all his children. Savage says that John Warren, Jr.
came to America with his wife in 1630, and with their four children (daughters),
but he fails to give their names, although he does name one daughter and two
sons who were born, he says, before 1630 in England. Savage also says that
their daughter, Elizabeth, was born in America, but he gives no date; and he
also states that there may have been more than four children although he can
find no record of any more births or deaths. Late in life John Warren, Jr. came
under the censure of the laws unwisely leveled at dissension from the religious
course of the major part of the inhabitants, and Bond informs us that pro-
ceedings were taken against him in 1651, 1654 and 1661. In 1651 he and
Thomas Arnold were each fined 20 shillings for an offense against the laws
concerning banishment. He was independent, harbored Quakers, etc. In 1654 he
was fined for neglect of public worship 14 sabbaths, 3 pounds, 10 shillings.
Mar. 14, 1658 or 1659 he was to be warned for not attending public worship,
“but old Warren was not to be found in town”. In 1661 the house of “Old
Warren” and Goodman Hammond were ordered to be searched for Quakers;
but finally he died in peace on Dec. 13, 1667, aged 82. He had a good estate
in lands in Watertown, Mass. Their children:

1 MARY WARREN, (#1333, line #333).

2 Captain John Warren, III, born in Nayland, county Suffolk, England, in 1622
 and came to America with his parents in 1630 in the “Arbella”. He

1667, Mrs. Mary (Jennison) Bloise (Compendium gives her name as
“Michal Jenison”), who was born in 1640 and died in 1713. She was
a daughter of Robert Jennison and the widow of Richard Bloise.
John Warren, III, was a Captain in the Indian Wars and he died in
1703. There was at least one child, a son:

Hastings who was born in 1679 and died in 1710. They had at

(2612) RICHARD CHURCH

(2613) ELIZABETH WARREN

Richard Church, (#2612, line #653) was born in England in 1608 and
came to America in 1630 with Winthrop's fleet. He requested admission as a
freeman, Oct. 19, 1630, yet did not take the office, but removed from Weymouth
to Plymouth and was recorded a freeman of that colony, Oct. 4, 1632. In the
Chamberlain Collection in the Boston (Massachusetts) Public Library is an
ancient letter from Governor Bradford to Governor Winthrop, dated Plymouth,
Feb. 6, 1631/2 – extract quoted:

“We have therefore given warnings to all our people not to receive
any as servants . . . but to acquaint us first therewith that we may inquire of
their certificates of dismission . . . Richard Church came likewise as a
sojourner to work for ye present. However, he is still heare residents
longer than he purposed, and what he will doe, neither we nor I thinke
himselfe knows, but if he resolve heare to stay, we shall require of him to
procure a dismission, but he did confirm to us at the first that he was one of
Mr. Webb's men and free to go to England, or whither he would, ye which
ye rather believe because he came to us from Wessagasscusett upon ye falling
out with his partner”.

In the Pilgrim Republic”, Goodwin says: “But Church knew that he would
stay in Plymouth and join his fortunes with those of Richard Warren's orphaned
daughter, Elizabeth Warren”. Note – Richard Warren was dead (he died in 1628),
but her mother, Elizabeth (---) Warren was alive). Richard Church married,
1635 or 1636, Elizabeth Warren, (#2613, line #653), daughter of Richard
Warren, (#5226, line #2613) and Elizabeth --- , (#5227, line #2613). Elizabeth
Warren was born in England and came to America in 1623 with her mother
and her four sisters in the “Ann”. Richard Church was a carpenter and was one
of the designers and builders of the first regular church edifice in Plymouth
in 1649 and was at Charlestown in 1653 “and for final residence, sat down at
Hingham in 1657”, says Savage. Giving evidence at Sandwich, Aug. 25, 1664, he
called himself 56 years old and he made his will at Hingham, Dec. 25, 1668 (O.S.).
He died two days later, Dec. 27, 1668, aged over 60, at Dedham, Mass. And was
buried at Hingham. His will provided for his widow, Elizabeth, and equal
portions to all his children, without naming them except that Joseph, on account
of his lame hand, should have a double portion. His widow died at Hingham,
Mass. Mar. 9, 1669 or Mar. 4, 1670. “To name their children”, says Savage,
“in order, is not easy, perhaps not all of them with confidence”. Savage lists
them in the following order:
1 Joseph Church, who had a lame hand, and because of that he received a
double portion of his father's estate.
2 Colonel Benjamin Church, born 1639; grew up in his father's trade, a
carpenter, but instinctively allied himself to the martial family of
Southworth, his wife being Alice Southworth, a daughter of Constant
Southworth and a grand-daughter of Mrs. (Governor ) Bradford.
Goodwin in his “Pilgrim Republic” has the following to say about
Benjamin Church: “A year before the war he was making for
himself a home at Saconet. At the peace he became a pioneer of
Bristol, on the Mount Hope lands, but finally returned to Saconet, which
later became “Little Compton”. He was made a local magistrate
and represented his town in the Plymouth legislature, and after its
union, in that of Massachusetts. He refused a military commission
under the tyrant, Androe, but in 1689 he went against the Maine Indians
as Major, commander in chief of the united troope of Massachusetts
and Plymouth. At the end of the campaign, Plymouth gave him 42
pounds as her share of his salary, but Massachusetts shamefully
refused to pay her part. In 1690 he was persuaded to go again, but
was poorly supported and an officer of equal rank was placed over him
by Massachusetts, which colony once more refused to pay her share of
his pay and expenses. He was so destitute after reaching Boston that
he was forced to beg his lodging from Captain Alden until he could
send to his brother for a horse. The officers, whom he had held sharply
to their duty, spread slanderous reports about him, and these were greedily
received at Boston; but on reaching Plymouth, Church at once dissipated
the malicious tales. Plymouth, in her great poverty from the War, gave
him 14 English pounds, but owing to the disregard of his claims by
Massachusetts, he could only meet his debts incurred for recruiting
and sustenance by selling a portion of his land at a sacrifice. This
treatment cut Church to the heart; yet in 1692, as the danger grew,
Governor Phippe was able to enlist his services one more. On his
return, Massachusetts, now a province, paid his last wages (it must
have cost her a pang), but ignored her previous debts to him. In 1698
Church again raised a force for Maine and returned with valuable
captures of cannon, stores and peltry. Massachusetts took to herself
this prize-of-war and paid the soldiers their bare wages. The General
Court once voted to dismiss them with half pay, but Governor Stoughton
indignantly visited the hall and procured a reconsideration. Still, Church
was left to pay his own recruiting expenses. So late as 1704, Church,
then a Colonel, conducted a vigorous campaign against the Maine
hostiles. His force of 1200 men, including several Plymouth Indians,
operated in whale boats along the coasts and rivers. Once more the
 Massachusetts Court haggled over his pay, but finally gave him his
wages, with a vote of thanks, and munificently added the pittance of
15 pounds, English, toward his expenses in raising troops. Church
had a contempt for meanness and imbecility, and by making enemies
of mean and little men, suffered the indignities and losses which
their secret slanders could induce from men far better than themselves.
Long after his death, the generation which then ruled Massachusetts,
(1734), sought to make some atonement for the sins of their fathers
by giving his heirs 500 acres of land near his old home. In 1718,
Church, then 78 years old, was living in peace and honor on his
farm at Little Compton, where his ancient friends, the Scant,
dwelt around him in the habits of civilization. Hearing that his
sister's only son had died while abroad, he mounted his horse and
paid her (Mrs. John Irish, Jr.), a visit of condolence. While returning,
his horse stumbled and the venerable Colonel received injuries which
soon proved fatal. His wife survived but a year. They left five sons and
two daughters. Their widespread posterity should enthusiastically
join in crowning of Saconet Heights with a far seen monument
worthy of their great ancestor, so loyal and loving, heroic and wise -
“the Myles Standoffish of the second generation”. Other children of
Richard Church and Elizabeth Warren were:
3 Richard Church, Jr., who died young.
4 CALEB CHURCH, (1306, line #653).
5 Nathaniel Church.
6 Hannah Church; baptized Aug. 8, 1647.
7 Abigail Church; married Dec. 19, 1666, Samuel Thaxter and she died

8 Charles Church, as Savage has it, “killed by casual”, Oct. 30, 1659.
9 Deborah Church, born Jan. 27, 1657; married John Irish, Jr., says Savage,
quoting from Winsor: “ as his second wife”; though another author,
giving the date of this marriage as May, 1708, calls her “Priscilla”.
10 And perhaps another, Mary Church, who died at Duxbury, Apr. 30, 1662.

“Captain Thomas Wheeler and some of his descendants” , by Homer

W. Brainard, A. B. of Hartford, Conn., appearing in the July, 1935, issue of
“The American Genealogist and New Haven Genealogical Magazine”, gives
the following information: “Bedfordshire is a county of south Midlands
(England). It has always been agricultural. No large cities mar its rural landscapes.
Near its western border, about equally distant from the northern and southern ends
of the county, lie the small rural parishes of Marstone Mortaine and Cranfield.
Families bearing the name of Wheeler have lived in these parishes from the
fifteenth century and perhaps from an earlier date. It is supposed that they were
first at Marston Mortaine, going thence to Cranfield. This parish is distant some
eight or nine miles southwest from Bedford, the county town, and ten miles
south of Odell, the parish where the Reverand Peter Bulkeley officiated before
he became the minister of Concord, Mass., in 1635”.
“About 1600 three men named Wheeler were living in Cranfield, married
and having families. These were Thomas, John, and Richard, “the younger”
implies an older Richard. We know not how they were related. Thomas and
John may have been brothers”.
“John Wheeler, born about 1575; died 1644; married Elizabeth --- .
Their children baptized at Cranfield:
1 John Wheeler, baptized Aug. 29, 1602; died young.

THOMAS WHEELER, SR., (#2628, in #657, our ancestor, was born

in England about 1560-1565 and was probably married twice. Their
children were all baptized at Cranfield.

his father's first wife. He married at Cranfield, May 5, 1613,
Ann Halsey and they settled in Concord, Mass. And in

died there in 1659. His will was dated Jan. 16, 1653/54; inventory,
Aug. 23, 1654, will mentions sons John and Thomas and
brother, Thomas, Lieutenant (probably line #10. His will was
probated Aug. 1659. Their children, baptized at Cranfield:
1 Richard Wheeler, baptized June 13, 1614; perhaps died
young.
2 Anna, or Hannah Wheeler, baptized Feb. 20, 1617/18; married
James Bennett.

Turney; settled in Fairfield, Conn. where he died.
5 Sarah Wheeler, baptized Dec. 27, 1627 or 1628. The late

10 Captain Thomas Wheeler, (about whom this historical sketch was
written by Homer W. Brainard, A.B.), was baptized Apr. 8, 1620;
married Ruth Wood. “Between the dates July 26, 1675 and Oct. 13,
1675, occurred the tragic events which include the killing of
eight men in Captain Wheeler's Troop, the killing of Edward
Hutchinson, and the wounding of Captain Wheeler and his
son Thomas. In “King Philip's War”, by Ellis and Morris, pp. 84-97,
is a good account of these events, leading up to the ambuscade
and mortal wounding of Capt. Hutchinson, and the relief of the
survivors. It is doubtless mainly based upon Capt. Wheeler's
famous narrative.” He died about 1675 and his “True
Narrative” was a historical account of the highest value. It
has been called “An Epic of Struggle of the Indian warfare and
a literary event in the Wars of the Lord.” Children of Captain
Thomas Wheeler and Ruth Wheeler, his wife:
1 Thomas Wheeler, born before 1650; died Jan. 9, 1676/7.
Saved his father's life at Manamesset in Aug. 1675,
although himself severely wounded. As far as known, he
was unmarried, no record of wife or children having been
found. Estate administered in 1677 by his brother,
Joseph Wheeler. Inventory shows a horse, pistols, cutlass
and gun, prized at six pounds, twelve shillings.
2 Ruth Wheeler, born about 1652; married May 7, 1673, Ephraim
Jones, who died Jan. 23, 1676/7. (Concord Vital
Records).
3 Nathaniel Wheeler, born about 1655; died in Concord Jan. 16,
1676/7. Estate administered by brother Joseph Wheeler
in 1677. He is supposed to have been unmarried, no record
of wife and family having been found. He witnessed a
deed at Paugasset in Apr. 1664. He may have been of
age then. If so, his birth took place earlier than 1655.
Although his father may have been short for witnesses, he
would hardly have made his son witness a document in the
presence of Indians at the age of nine.

(2640) JOHN PUTNAM, SR.

(2641) PRISCILLA DEACON

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

1 Sarah (or Sara) Putnam, born in England; came to America in 1640 or

1641 with her parents and 2 sisters and 3 brothers.
2 Elizabeth Putnam, born in England; came to America in 1640 or 1641
with her parents, 2 sisters and 3 brothers.

He married Elizabeth Hutchinson, (1629-1698), daughter of Richard
Hutchinson. The late Calvin Coolidge, President of the United States,
is a descendent of Lieutenant Nathaniel Putnam and is also descended
from his brother, Lieutenant Thomas Putnam. Lieutenant Nathaniel
Putnam and his wife, Elizabeth Hutchinson Putnam, had at least one child,
a son: (Lieutenant Nathaniel Putnam died 1700).
 1 Captain Benjamin Putnam, (1664- about 1715); married, (1) 1686,
Elizabeth Putnam, a daughter of Lieutenant Thomas Putnam,
(#1320, line #165). She died in 1705. He married (2), probably,
Hannah Tarrant.
6 Captain John Putnam, Jr., born 1627, (Savage says about 1630), in
England and came to America about 1640 or 1641 with his parents,
2 brothers and 3 sisters. Major General Israel Putnam, the noted
Revolutionary Ward patriot, is fifth in descent from Captain John Putnam,
Jr. Hannah Putnam, (#165, line #41), who was third in descent from
Lieutenant Thomas Putnam, (#1320, line #165), was sister of General
Rufus Putnam. She was also fifth in descent from Captain John Putnam, Jr.,

to America with her four brothers (one of whom was James Mirick, Sr.,
(#256, line #1) our emigrant ancestor), in the “James” in the spring of
1638, and married John Atkinson in 1646. There is some basis for this
marriage date because their daughter, Jane Atkinson, (#1395, line #697)
married Thomas Cheney, (#1394, line #697) and this latter couple's daughter,
Jane Cheney, (#697, line #87) was born June 5, 1667, which was about
twenty-three years after her grand-parent's marriage date; and that is a
reasonable length of time. To offset this, however, John Atkinson, Sr. and
Sarah Mirick, his wife had another child, a son, John Atkinson, Jr. who was
born 1666/7. All sources of the above data seem to be authentic, however, further
research is necessary. John Atkins, Sr. and Sarah Mirick, his wife, had several

who died in 1623; was born in England in 1621, according to “Genealogical
Notes on Barnstable Families”, by Otis. “N.D.K.” in the Boston Transcript,
August 26, 1935, writes that “Hannah Howse (House) was the first wife of Rev.
John Lothrop. She had a sister, Penninah Howse, who married Robert Linnell
(Lynnell) and the two girls were daughters of Rev. John Howse who died at
Eastwell, county Kent, England, Aug. 30, 1630. The above is taken from the
Register, vol. 66, pp. 356/7; vol. 89, p. 284, and vol. 67, pp. 260/1”. The
following quotation is from the record of Rev. John Lothrop as found in
Lathrop Family Memoirs”, p. 34: “son Thomas and brother Larnett's daughter,
widow Ewer, were married in the Bay (Boston), Dec. 11, 1639”. “O. M.” in the
Boston Transcript says: “Mrs. Sarah (Linnell) Ewer, (#2795, line #1397), daughter
of Robert Linnell, (#5590, line #2795) and Penninah Howse, (#5591, line #2795),
married, (2), at Barnstable, Mass., Dec. 11, 1639, Thomas Lothrop, Sr. (her
cousin, although she was 14 years his senior and she with four children at
that time), eldest son of the Rev. John Lothrop. Thomas Lothrop, Sr. was
born in England in 1621 and he joined his father's church in America May 14, 1637
and died in 1701”. Sarah Linnell, (#2795, line #1397), was born in England in 1604
or 1607 (probably the latter), married, (1), in England, Thomas Ewer, a tailor,
and they came to America in 1635 with their two children, Elizabeth and
Thomas. Two other children born to them in America were Sarah and John.
There has always been a controversy as to whether Sarah Linnell
(Lynnell) was a daughter of Robert Lynell or a daughter of William Learned,
caused, undoubtedly, by the fact that the name Linnell was spelled in many ways
in those days – Linnett, Larnett, which could seem to be Larned, and so gives color
to the William Larned idea. Otis, in “Barnstable Families” and Swift's “Barnstable”
both say she was Sarah Linnell, daughter of Robert and Penninah (House) Linnell.
The Learned Genealogy, page 18 says: “A Sarah Leonards daughter of William
Leonards, was baptized at Ware, England, Sept. 30, 1604. She married in
England, Jan. 13, 1623/4 Thomas Ewer, a tailor and came with him and their two
children to this country in the “James”, June, 1635. He was then 40, she 28:
(if so, then she was born in 1607 instead of 1604); their daughter Elizabeth, their
son, Thomas 1-1/2. (Hatten's List of Emigrants”, p. 88). Regardless of her
ancestry, she was admitted to the church in Charlestown, Mass., Dec. 12, 1635

THE WELSH ANCESTRY OF JAMES MIRICK

From the MERRICK GENEALOGY, by George B. Merrick

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

(4096) MEURIC AP LLEWELLYN

(4097) MARGARET AP ROLAND

Meuric ap Llewellyn, Captain of the guard at the coronation of

King Henry VIII, Apr. 15, 1509. His will is dated 1538. He married
Margaret, daughter of Roland who was Rector of Aberffraw, Anglesey, Wales.
Meuric ap Llewellyn's castle at Bedorgan, Anglesey, Wales, and the same
ancestral estate have been possessed, without interruption upwards of a
thousand years. Burke's Peerage is authority for this ancestor of the Merrick
family. It is not known how many children they had, but there is a record of
four sons:
2 Rt. Rev. Roland Mirick, second son of Meuric, born 1505 at Llangadwaladr,
Wales. He was made Bishop of Bangor, which office he held from
1559 to 1563, when he died. Bangor is in North Wales, just across the
narrow strait (Menai Strait) which separates the island of Anglesey from
the main land. During his incumbency of the Bishopric he had his
younger brother, Rev. Edmund Mirick, L.L.D. as his arch deacon.
5 REV. JOHN MIRICK (MERRICK), #2048, line #1, fifth son of
Meuric.
– Rev. Reynault Mirick, a son of Meuric who was younger than John. He was
Rector of Llanleschid.
7 Rev. Edmund Mirick, L.L.D., seventh and youngest son of Meuric, was
arch deacon to his brother, the Rt. Rev. Roland Mirick while the
latter was Bishop of Bangor. The family of Rev. Edmund Mirick
became extinct in the eighteenth century.

(5120) NICHOLAS HATHAWAY

(5121) --- ---

Three distinct lines of Hathaways came to America abut 1639.

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

Nicholas Hathaway, (#5120, line #5), was born probably in Wales,

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

1 JOHN HATHAWAY, SR., (#2560, line #5).

2 Joseph Hathaway.
3 Jacob Hathaway.

(5226) RICHARD WARREN

(5227) ELIZABETH --- .

Richard Warren, (#5226, line #2613), was probably from Essex, although
very possibly from Kent, England. His name is on the Mayflower passage list
from London to Southampton, joining the Mayflower there when it set sail for
America on Sept. 6, 1620. He was over 45 when he came to America and his
true ancestry is very much in doubt, in fact very little is know of him. England
was alive with Warrens in the 1600's and there were many Richard Warrens.
Professional genealogists have about given up hope of ever tracing his true lineage.
His occupation is thought to have been that of a farmer. He left his wife,
Elizabeth --- , (#5227, line #2613), and his five daughters, all of whom were born
in England, in England and they came to America in 1623. Richard Warren
was the 12th signer of the “Mayflower Compact” and participated in the “Third
Exploration” that resulted in a fight with the Indians on Dec. 17 and 18, 1620,
at a place that has since been described as “The First Encounter”. In 1650
Governor Bradford wrote his “Journal of the Pilgrims” and says in regard to the
division of cattle in 1627, “the ninth lot fell to Richard Warren and his companie”
and “to this lott fell one of the four black Heyfers that came in the “Jacob”, and
two shee goats”. In 1627 only 42 of the 99 persons who reached Plymouth on
the Mayflower (some references say that there were 101 and others say there
were 102), were still living there. In Bradford's list, published in his book,
(above referred to) only ten male persons, including Richard Warren, had the
right to use the prefix, “Mr.” before their names. Richard Warren joined the
Leydon Pilgrims in July, 1620 at Southampton when the Mayflower and the Speedwell
made their first attempts to sail for America. He was known in America as “the
grave Mr. Warren.”. He died in 1628, and Secretary Morton, who knew him
well, said of him, “He was a useful instrument, and during his life bore a deep
share in the difficulties and troubles of this first settlement”. His wife,
Elizabeth --- , came to America in 1623, together with their five daughters, she
at the supposed age of 43, having been born, according to some references, in
1580. She is said to have been 48 when her husband died in 1628, and she lived
45 years after he died, making her 93 when she died on Oct. 12, 1673. Savage
says that she was 90 when she died, but he agrees with the above date of her
death. When she was borne up Burial Hill, it was entered upon the Colonial
records that she, “having lived a Godly life, came to her grave as a shock of
corn, fully ripe”. There were two sons born to them after their arrival in
America. It should be remembered that various historical works disagree in
considerable detail regarding Richard Warren, particularly about dates and the
number of his children, but the above data is thought to be authentic. Savage
lists their children in the order given below, and while this does not coincide
entirely with the famous Warren Genealogy, Savage claims that he has every
reason to believe his arrangement is correct. He lists the five daughters and
two sons as follows:
1 Mary Warren, came to America with her mother and four sisters in
1623; married, 1628, Robert Bartlett, (1603-1676) who came from
England to Plymouth Colony in the “Anne” in 1623. They had at
least four children, not listed here in the order of their birth:
1 Benjamin Bartlett, (1638-1691); married, 1658, Sarah Brewster
and they had at least one child, a son:
1 Ichabod Bartlett, (1664-1717); married, (1), 1699,
Elizabeth Waterman, (1609-1708), daughter of
Joseph Waterman. Ichabod Bartlett married, (2),
Sarah Snow, daughter of Anthony Snow and Abigail
Warren who was a daughter of Richard Warren
(#5226, line #2613). See line #5 below.
2 Lydia Bartlett, 1648-1691); married James Barnaby of Plymouth,
who died about 1677. They had at least one child, a son:
1 James Barnaby, (1670-1726); married Joanna Harlow,
(1669-1725), daughter of Sergeant William Harlow.
James Barnaby and his wife, Joanna Harlow had at
least one child, a son:
1 Captain Ambrose Barnaby, Sr., (1706-1775);
married, 1728, Elizabeth Gardiner of Swansea,
granddaughter of Lieutenant Samuel Gardiner.
Captain Ambrose Barnaby and his wife,
Elizabeth Gardiner had at least one child,
a son:
1 Ensign Ambrose Burnaby, Jr., (1745-1802);
married Phylena Burt of Berkley. Thereafter
was at least one child, a son:
1 Rev. James Barnaby, (1787-1877);
married Abigail Burt, daughter
of Lieutenant Abner Burt of Berkley.
3 Rebecca Bartlett married Sergeant William Harlow, (1624-1691) who
later was a Lieutenant Governor of Plymouth Colony. They had
at least one child, a son:
1 William Harlow, Jr., born 1650; married, (1), Lydia
Cushman, daughter of Elder Thomas Cushman. He
married, (2), Mary Allerton, daughter of Isaac
Allerton.
4 Elizabeth Bartlett married Anthony Sprague, (1636-1719), son of
William Sprague. She died in 1713. They had at least one
 child, a son:
1 Jeremiah Sprague, (1682-1759); married Priscilla Knight,
(1685-1775), and they had at least one child, a son:
1 Knight Sprague, (1711-1804), soldier in the
Indian Wars and in the American Revolution.
He married, (1), Mary Lewis and there was at
least one child, a daughter:
1 Sarah Sprague, (1738-1831), married, 1762
Richard Southgate, Jr., (1742-1822) of
Bridgewater, Vermont. He was a soldier
in the American Revolution and was a
son of Richard Southgate, Sr. (1714-
1798) of Leisester, Mass. And his wife,
Emily Brown, daughter of Samuel Brown.
1 Ann Warren, came to America with her mother and her four sisters in
1623; married, Apr. 9, 1623, Thomas Little, who came from England
and was at Plymouth colony in 1630. He purchased 1000 acres of land
at Marshfield, Mass. in 1650 and was a member of Plymouth Military
Company. He died at Soituate in 1671 or 1672.
3 Sarah Warren came to America with her mother and her four sisters in
1623; married, Mar. 28, 1634, John Cooke, son of Francis Cooke
(1583-1663), 17th Signer of the Mayflower Compact; came to
America in 1620 on the Mayflower; married at Leyden, Holland, 1603,
Hester Mahieu, a Wallcon and Heugenot – she died between 1666 and
1675). John Cooke died Nov. 23, 1695. Sarah Warren and her husband,
John Cooke, had at least one child, a daughter:
1 Sarah Cooke, born 1635; married Arthur Hathaway of Mansfield and
they afterwards removed to Dartmouth. They left a great
number of descendants as is shown by the several volumes of
them in the Boston Library. Arthur Hathaway and his wife,
Sarah Cooke, had at least one child, a son:
