Henry and Elizabeth (maiden name unknown) Tibbetts arrived on the ship James from London on July 13, 1635, both age 39, he was a shoemaker and they had two children with them, Jeremy, age 4 and Samuel, age 2, and his sister Remembrance Tibbetts, age 28, who was in Mr. Thomas Wiggin’s service before her arrival in New England. Henry received a 20 acre grant in Dover in 1642, lot no. 3 “On the west sied of ye Back Rever or over ye Back Rever” (the Bellamy River). He also had a grant in 1643 to a 3 ½ acre house lot on Dover Neck bounded by William Furber, John Heard, George Walton and the commons on the east side of High St. near the site of the lower schoolhouse. His house was a garrison against Indian attack.In 1656 Henry was granted 100 acres, lot no. 8, between St. Alban’s Cove and Quamphegan on the Newichawanock River in Rollinsford. He sold this lot the following year to his son Jeremiah and son-in-law Thomas Nock and it remained in the family for many generations.We are descended from Henry and Elizabeth on the Wright (Tucker) side.

Albums Great Migration (119)
The "Great Migration," as defined by the New England Historic Genealogical Society (NEHGS), encompasses the English Puritan migration to New England from 1620 to 1640. This movement primarily involved English Puritans who relocated in family units, driven by a quest for religious freedom and the aspiration to establish a Puritan commonwealth. These migrants originated from various regions of England and settled in areas that now form Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Maine, including the Plymouth Colony and the Massachusetts Bay Colony.
An individual's inclusion in the Great Migration Study Project requires evidence of migration to New England within the specified period of 1620 to 1640. The project's objective is to compile biographical and genealogical profiles of all immigrants who arrived in New England during these two decades. The NEHGS has produced extensive volumes and directories, providing details about the lives of these immigrants. This collection presents research on many ancestors who were part of this significant historical migration.
You may be shocked by how many there are. Even I was at first. However, most of these Great Migration ancestors are my 9th and 10th great-grandparents, and in some cases 11th and 12th, and with the number of great-grandparents doubling with each generation, the possibilities quickly become immense. We have a total of 1024 sets of 9th great-grandparents and 2048 sets of 10th great-grandparents. This makes finding so many Great Migration ancestors more understandable.
