Documents Great Migration: Anthony Eames (1595-1686)
https://www.americanancestors.org/DB115/rd/7373/387/235160237Sailing on the "Recovery" from Weymouth on March 31, 1633, Anthony, his wife Margery, and their children, including their last child Abigail born around 1632, arrived in New England. They first settled in Charlestown and soon moved to Hingham in 1636, receiving a plot of land. Anthony quickly became a prominent figure, representing Hingham in the general court and engaging in community leadership. His military experience in England translated well into his role in New England, where he was appointed Lieutenant in the Hingham Train Band and later Captain. He was actively involved in the defense and development of the town, from signing the charter for the 'Military Company of Massachusetts' in 1638 to operating the first Corn Mill in Hingham in 1643.We are descended through the Wright (Tucker) side of the family.
