1402	I9393	SAUNDERS	John	Abt 1610	1670	0	The story of Lieutenant John Saunders, alternatively known as John Sanders, encapsulates the adventurous and resilient spirit of early American colonists. His life, spanning from his arrival in New England in 1635 to his death in 1670, reflects a journey marked by movement, land transactions, and family growth amidst the backdrop of colonial America's evolving landscape. John Saunders first set foot in the New World in 1635, arriving with his wife Ann and young daughter Sarah. However, this stay was brief, as Saunders returned to England shortly after acquiring land in Ipswich, only to come back to New England in 1636. By May of that year, he was recognized as a freeman. Saunders' adventurous spirit led him to participate in the founding of the Hampton colony in Massachusetts (later Hampton, New Hampshire) in 1639. Along with William and Robert Sanders and others, he received a grant of land, marking the inception of a new community. His journey continued to Richmond Island, Maine, in 1641, where he was employed by John Winter. By 1643, Saunders had moved to Hampton, where he faced financial challenges and illness, yet he was regarded highly enough to be considered for a Sergeant's position. The year 1643 also marked his relocation to Wells, York, Maine. Here, he received a substantial land grant and purchased a dwelling house. His involvement in the community was significant: serving on the grand and trial juries, becoming a selectman, and rising in military ranks to Lieutenant by 1657. Saunders' connections and influence in the region were further evidenced in his interactions with the Native American community. In 1660, he was involved in a notable land transaction where a Native American named Flewelline testified regarding a land sale that benefited Saunders, along with his relatives John Bush and Peter Turbutt. His status as a trustee of Ferdinando Gorges' Patent in the Province of Maine is a testament to his prominence. In 1662, he played a pivotal role in transferring control of this patent to the Massachusetts Bay Colony. In 1663, Saunders sold his Wells farm and moved to Cape Porpus, Maine, where he spent his final years. His will, acknowledging his "very sicke and weake" state, was a careful allocation of his estate to his wife Ann and children, showcasing a mindful consideration of his family's future. Lieutenant John Saunders passed away between June and August 1670 in Cape Porpus. His wife Ann died four months later in the same year. John Saunders' life story is a remarkable narrative of perseverance, adaptability, and influence in early colonial America. His journey from England to various parts of New England illustrates the challenges and opportunities faced by settlers in shaping the new world.	tree1

1411	I17655	SAVOY	Bertha of	12 Sep 1051	27 Dec 1087	0	Bertha at the age of four was betrothed to Henry III's son, Henry IV (aged five) on 25 December 1055 in Zürich.[1] Bertha was raised in Germany thereafter. When she was fifteen, Bertha was crowned queen in Würzburg in June 1066 and married Henry on 13 July 1066 at the Königspfalz of Trebur.[2] Although they had grown up together and Bertha was apparently a pretty young woman, the Saxon chronicler Bruno of Merseburg, an avowed opponent of Henry IV, reported on Henry's continual unfaithfulness: "He had two or three concubines at the same time, in addition [to his wife], yet he was not content. If he heard that someone had a young and pretty daughter or wife, he instructed that she be supplied to him by force. (...) His beautiful and noble wife Bertha (...) was in such a manner hated by him that he never saw her after the wedding any more than necessary, since he had not celebrated the wedding out of free will."[3]	tree1
1412	I20004	SAWTELL	Richard	Abt 1610	21 Aug 1694	0	Richard arrived in Watertown, MA in 1636. He was granted just one acre of land, indicating he was not married at the time. Richard moved to Groton and married Elizabeth (maiden name unknown) sometime before their first child was born in 1638, On 13 Mar 1676, during King Philip's war, Richard's Groton house, which was being used as one of the five garrison houses, was torched, and burned along with the rest of the town. The encompassing blaze drove Groton's inhabitants to desert their home and return to Watertown. We are descended from Richard and Elizabeth through the Wright (Tucker) side.	tree1

1417	I7314	SCOTLAND	Donald II of	860	900	0	His reign coincided with renewed invasions by the Danes, who came less to plunder and more to occupy the lands bordering Scotland and the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms. He was also embroiled in efforts to reduce the highland robber tribes. By one account he was slain at Dunnottar, meeting a Danish invasion; by another he died of infirmity brought on by his campaigns against the highlanders. He was succeeded by his cousin Constantine II.	tree1

1419	I7312	SCOTLAND	Kenneth II of	925	995	0	He began his reign by ravaging the Britons, probably as an act of vengeance, but his name is also included among a group of northern and western kings said to have made submission to the Anglo-Saxon king Edgar in 973, perhaps at Chester; and the chronicler Roger of Wendover (Flores Historiarum, under the year 975) states that shortly afterward Kenneth received from Edgar all the land called Lothian (i.e., between the Tweed and the Forth rivers). This is the first mention of the River Tweed as the recognized border between England and Scotland. Kenneth was slain, apparently by his own subjects, at Fettercairn in the Mearns. ------- John of Fordun, a 14th-century historian, narrates that Kenneth II, King of Scotland from 971 to 995, sought to alter the royal succession laws. His aim was to ensure his descendants' ascension to the throne, thereby excluding Constantine III and Kenneth III, also known as Gryme. These two, feeling threatened by Kenneth II's plans, conspired against him and roped in Lady Finella, daughter of Cuncar, Mormaer of Angus. Finella had her own vendetta against Kenneth II, who was responsible for her son's death. The Chronicles of the Picts and Scots, compiled by William Forbes Skene, and dating back to the 12th and 13th centuries, corroborate the story of Finella's revenge on Kenneth II. However, these chronicles do not mention her connection to Constantine or Gryme. The Annals of Ulster, on the other hand, simply state that Kenneth II was deceitfully murdered, without specifying the perpetrator. According to Fordun's account, Constantine III and Gryme were relentlessly plotting the king's and his son's demise. Kenneth II, while on a hunting trip near his residence, ventured into the woods and ended up in Fettercairn, where Finella lived. Finella, feigning loyalty, invited the king to her home, claiming she had critical information about a plot against him. She lured Kenneth II into a secluded cottage rigged with a deadly trap: a statue connected to crossbows. When Kenneth II touched the statue, he triggered the crossbows, which fatally shot him from all sides. Finella managed to flee and join her co-conspirators, Constantine III and Gryme. The king's hunting party later found his body but could not capture Finella. In retaliation, they burned down Fettercairn. Historian Smyth regards the intricate plot and the mechanical trap as fictional embellishments but acknowledges the core truth of the narrative: Kenneth II's succession plans ultimately led to his assassination.	tree1
1420	I7313	SCOTLAND	Malcolm I of	895	954	0	Malcolm succeeded to the crown when his cousin Constantine II entered a monastery (943). He annexed Moray to the kingdom for the first time. After driving the Danes from York, the English king Edmund turned Cumbria over to Malcolm, apparently as a fief or seal of alliance. Later, when Norsemen again invaded the land, the Scots sent raids against the English, and in 954 the West Saxon king Eadred reunited the northern counties to his dominions. Malcolm was slain the same year during a rebellion in Moray.	tree1

1422	I7311	SCOTLAND	Malcolm II of	954	25 Nov 1034	0	To the Irish annals which recorded his death, Malcolm was ard rí Alban, High King of Scotland. In the same way that Brian Bóruma, High King of Ireland, was not the only king in Ireland, Malcolm was one of several kings within the geographical boundaries of modern Scotland: his fellow kings included the king of Strathclyde, who ruled much of the south-west, various Norse-Gael kings on the western coast and the Hebrides and, nearest and most dangerous rivals, the kings or Mormaers of Moray. To the south, in the Kingdom of England, the Earls of Bernicia and Northumbria, whose predecessors as kings of Northumbria had once ruled most of southern Scotland, still controlled large parts of the southeast. Malcolm demonstrated a rare ability to survive among early Scottish kings by reigning for twenty-nine years. He was a clever and ambitious man.	tree1
1423	I915	SCOTLAND	Malcolm III of	26 Mar 1031	13 Nov 1093	0	Malcolm's long reign, lasting 35 years, preceded the beginning of the Scoto-Norman age. He is the historical equivalent of the character of the same name in Shakespeare's Macbeth. Malcolm III fought a succession of wars against the Kingdom of England, which may have had as their goal the conquest of the English earldom of Northumbria. These wars did not result in any significant advances southwards. Malcolm's main achievement is to have continued a line which would rule Scotland for many years, although his role as "founder of a dynasty" has more to do with the propaganda of his youngest son David, and his descendants, than with any historical reality.	tree1
1424	I3	SCOTLAND	Margaret of	1045	16 Nov 1093	0	Scotland's only royal saint, Margaret was the mother of three kings of Scotland (or four, if one includes Edmund of Scotland, who ruled Scotland with his uncle, Donald III) and of a queen consort of England. According to the Life of Saint Margaret, attributed to Turgot of Durham, she died at Edinburgh Castle in 1093, just days after receiving the news of her husband's death in battle. In 1250 she was canonized by Pope Innocent IV, and her remains were reinterred in a shrine at Dunfermline Abbey. Her relics were dispersed after the Scottish Reformation and subsequently lost.	tree1

1427	I19050	SEAVEY	William	25 Oct 1601	1686	0	Partner in fishing business with Stephen Crawford. Related to Thomas Seavey (c1627-1707). According to Stackpole: WILLIAM SEAVEY, aged about 75 years, deposed, 3 Sept. 1676, that he came as a fisherman to the Isles of Shoals "about a year before Capt. Neale went from this country for England." He came, then, in 1632. He was constable at the Isles of Shoals in 1656 and a Selectman in Portsmouth in 1657, where he was living in 1682. He had a grant of 50 acres in what is now Rye, N. H., in 1652 and bought land there, in 1669, of Jane Drake, widow of William Berry. This land is still owned by Seavey's descendants. His wife's name is thought to have been Mary."[2] The following is from Parsons: William Seavey, sent from England in 1631 to the Piscataquqa[sic] settlement by Captain John Mason. He was a selectman and otherwise of some consequence in the settlement. In 1660, he was William the elder. He died about 1688.[3]	tree1

In that year he signed the famous Dedham Covenant. In the old country he was a clothier and a man of some property. He was a planter at Dedham. When he first came to America he went to Watertown, MA, where he was a proprietor in 1636; his house was burned in October of that year, whereupon he seems to have removed to Dedham, where he was a constable in 1636-37-38, and was admitted a freeman March 9, 1637. He was owner of coal mines in Halifax and November 2, 1637, shortly before his death, he received a grant of half the coal and iron he might find in the common lands. He was given a permit to erect a coal mill February 12, 1637. He died in 1638, and his will, made November of that year, was proved before the end of the year.

1436	I4936	SHEPARD	Ralph	Abt 1603	20 Aug 1693	0	Ralph Shepard, a tailor from Stepney, England, embarked on a significant journey with his wife, Thankslorde (Perkins) Shepard, and their two-year-old daughter Sarah in 1635. They set sail for New England aboard the ship Abigail, captained by Robert Hackwell. Their departure was documented on June 30, 1635, with Ralph aged 29 and Thankslorde aged 23. Upon their arrival in New England, the Shepards initially settled in Watertown. Over the next fifteen years, Ralph and Thankslorde's life was marked by mobility and land transactions. They moved several times, purchasing and selling land in various locations, including Dedham in 1637, Weymouth in 1639, Malden by 1650, and eventually settling in Concord by 1666. Although Ralph had land in Seekonk, also known as Rehoboth, there is no evidence that the family ever lived there, and eventually, he forfeited this land. During these years, Ralph and Thankslorde expanded their family, welcoming six more children, of whom five reached maturity and went on to have children of their own. Notably, both Ralph and Thankslorde possessed the ability to sign their names. This skill was relatively rare during that period, especially for a woman, and indicates a level of literacy that was not common among the general population. Ralph and Thankslorde Shepard's life in New England reflects the experiences of many early settlers - a story of movement, land ownership, and family growth in the New World. Their ability to sign their names suggests a level of education and engagement with their community that was remarkable for the time, particularly in the case of Thankslorde. Their story is a testament to the challenges and opportunities faced by early immigrants in America.	tree1

1440	I15150	SHERBURNE	Henry	28 Mar 1611	26 Mar 1680	0	Henry Sherburne, born on March 28, 1611, in Odiham, Hampshire, England, was a figure of considerable wealth and influence in pre-independence colonial New Hampshire. His journey to the New World began when he landed in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, on June 12, 1632, from London. This marked the start of a life that would see him rise to prominence in the early American colonies. Sherburne's lineage traced back to the illustrious Sherburne (or Shireburn) family of England, known for their ancestral home, Stonyhurst Hall in Lancashire. His great grandfather left Stonyhurst for Oxford, England, where he resided in Beam Hall, and his father, Joseph Sherburne, eventually moved to Odiham, where Henry was born. In Portsmouth, Henry quickly utilized his classical education and mastery of court hand. By 1640, he had become a warden of the Church of England in Portsmouth. His skills and knowledge led to his selection as town clerk from 1656 to 1660, treasurer, and commissioner of Portsmouth. In 1644, he was appointed as a judge in Portsmouth, and later, the General Court of Massachusetts appointed him as an associate judge. Henry Sherburne was a significant landowner in Portsmouth. He married twice, first to the daughter of New Hampshire pioneer Ambrose Gibbons, with whom he had several children who later spread throughout the New World. His descendants included notable figures such as Colonel Tobias Lear, George Washington's private secretary. We are descended from Henry and his first wife, Rebecca Gibbons, who bore him several children, including a daughter, Mary, who married Richard Sloper. This union marked the beginning of a lineage that would spread throughout the New World. After Rebecca's death, Henry married Sarah (maiiden name unknown), the widow of Walter Abbott. Unusually, we are also descended through Sarah and Walter, through their sonThomas Abbott, who married Elizabeth Green, and also their daughter Mary Abbott, who married Thomas Guptail. Henry's life in Portsmouth was marked by various civic roles, reflecting his commitment to the community's development and governance. He played a crucial role in shaping the early history of Portsmouth and the broader region of New Hampshire. The end of Henry Sherburne's life was shrouded in mystery. In 1680, he was involved in a legal dispute with Edward Bickford and his wife Mary, who ran a licensed tavern and farm. The conflict began with Sherburne accusing the Bickfords of allowing their livestock to damage his property. Although cleared by a jury, Sherburne filed a second complaint, accusing the Bickford children of stealing pears. However, he never appeared in court for this case, as he died shortly before the scheduled date. The circumstances of his death, so closely timed with the legal proceedings, sparked rumors and speculation among the local community, but the true cause remained unknown.	tree1

I (Ernest S. Jr.) remember her as loving and with an ever-present plate of goodies for the children. I remember her in the large bright kitchen in her rocking chair, sewing and talking. The chair was located in a corner between two windows so she could look out either way to see the birds and flowers in the back and side yards. The kitchen had an oil range as well as a gas range, and during the winter months the kitchen was always warm and cozy. Off the kitchen was a pantry with a pass-through into the dining room - which always fascinated me as a child. During her later years she suffered with angina, and died after one of her feet became infected and gangrene developed. Because of her angina, surgery was impossible for the gangrene. She joined the Advent Christian Church in Lynn 10 June 1906, and was always a very active participant. For years she received the Mothers Day flowers for having the most of her family present at church. This tradition of gathering on Mothers Day lasted for many years with the family gathering at different homes in the afternoon for cookouts and socializing.	tree1

They reported having been living in the same house in 1935. John was working as a "helper" mason. John's father - Harry - was living alone in the house next door. On the other side, Henriette DeRochemont (age 74) was living with her two sisters Marie (61) and Sara (69). Percy DeRochemont and his family (a wife and 3 teen children) were living a few doors away.

His body was interred 12 August 1864 in Grave #5405, Andersonville, GA. He answered the call to arms during the Civil War by enlisting on 30 March 1864 as a soldier in the U.S. Army for three years at Concord, N.H. His application states he was born in Rochester. He was described as having dark eyes, brown hair, and dark complexion, and as 5 feet, 4-1/2 inches tall, and 18 years old. He was mustered into Company C of the First regiment of the N.H. Cavalry as a private, commanded by Capt. P.L. Wiggins. Where he served from his enlistment to June 13 is unknown, but we next find him at White Oak Swamp, Cold Harbor, Va. where he was listed as being captured. One account we have seen listed him as being captured "when his horse failed him," but we have no substantiation. Two days later he was confined at Richmond, VA, and then on June 21 he was transferred to Andersonville, a "hell-hole" for the Yankee prisoners. In a memorandum from prisoner of war records No.8519, citing Vol.4, Pages 307 and 531-2, Vol. 17, p.137 and Vol.3, p.276, it is noted that he died in quarters 12 Aug. of diarrhea.

Shorey, 76, of Frost Hill Road, York, died Monday, Oct. 9, 2000, at Exeter Healthcare after a long illness. Born Aug. 18, 1924, in Portland, Maine, he was a son of Clifton and Virginia (Emerson) Shorey. He lived in South Berwick and Dover before finally settling on the Old Rogers Farm in York. A graduate of Dover High School, he served his country as a member of the U.S. Army Air Corps and U.S. Air Force from 1942 to 1949. He served in the Southwest Pacific for two and a half years and attained the rank of sergeant. He has been well known for his ready wit and jovial nature. He was a charter member of the York Militia and also a captain. He has been much in demand as an entertaining speaker on Colonial topics for school children and adults alike. He was a life member of the South Berwick Rod and Gun Club. He became an expert on evaluating guns and was noted for building flintlocks and cannons and also collecting and repairing many types of rifles and handguns. He was a faithful worker at Moore Business Forms for 35 years as a machinist and prototype maker. He looked forward to many hunting trips with his friends to Rangeley, Maine. He also went lobstering with Dan Donnell for several summers. Roger loved the outdoors, animals and mostly his family, especially his loving wife of 53 years, Lillian Rising Shorey. He always supported his children and is survived by his son, John Shorey of New York City; his daughters, Kathleen and David Avery of Eliot, Sharon Gerald of Eliot, Susan O'Brien of Michigan and Christine Shorey of Durham; his sister, Jeanne Adams of Derry; two brothers, Kenneth Shorey of Rollinsford and Elwin Shorey of Virginia; and five grandchildren.

Dickery was an English Protestant who was from Cornwall, England. His name was Daniel when Indians attacked their farm, killing his father and taking Daniel, his mother and his siblings captive. His mother was killed on the hill outside of town and it's believed that a week old baby was killed as well. The three oldest siblings were ransomed and returned to Massachusetts. Daniel was turned over to Philippe de Rigault, the governor general of New France. His sister Mary is believed to have stayed with the Indians. Daniel was baptized in Montreal on 6 November 1707, and he was renamed Louis-Philippe Langlois (Daniel Sareant was considered his Protestant name). He was naturalized in May of 1710 under his new name per PRDH. Louis married Marguerite Lavoie on 14 January 1718, in Rivière-Ouelle, Quebec. They are the parents of the following: 1) Marguerite Langlois (1719-1808) md Jean-Baptiste Gagnon 2) Jean-Francois Langlois (1720-) md Marie-Josephe 3) Madeleine Langlois (1723-1766) md Joseph Hudon	tree1
1472	I7475	SIWARD			1055	0	The 12th-century historian, Henry of Huntingdon, in his Historia Anglorum, relates that when Siward was attacked by dysentery, fearing to die "like a cow" and wishing rather to die like a soldier, he clothed himself in armour and took to hand an axe and shield. Ennobled in such a manner, Siward died. Siward was probably of Scandinavian origin, perhaps a relative of Earl Ulf, and emerged as a powerful regional strongman in England during the reign of Cnut ("Canute the Great", 1016-1035). Cnut was a Scandinavian ruler who conquered England in the 1010s, and Siward was one of the many Scandinavians who came to England in the aftermath of that conquest. Siward subsequently rose to become sub-ruler of most of northern England. From 1033 at the latest Siward was in control of southern Northumbria, that is, present-day Yorkshire, governing as earl on Cnut's behalf.	tree1

On 26 June 1660 "Mr. Henry Sherburne" sued Stephen Ford and Peter Wallis for keeping his boat on Sherburne's mooring and staving in Sherburne's boat [NHPP 40:148]. "Hen: Sherb" of Portsmouth was ordered to lay out a way and mend it before next court 27 June 1661 [NHPP 40:158, 164]. At court 28 June 1664 Henry Sherburne sued the town of Portsmouth over several grants of land and arbiters were appointed [NHPP 40:195, 204]. On 30 June 1668 Henry Sherburne was presented for beating his wife "several times" to which he confessed and was fined. At the same court "the wife of Henry Sherburne" (Rebecca) was presented for "beating her husband & breaking his head". She also confessed and was fined and both were ordered to post bonds [NHPP 40:242]. At court 29 March 1670 "Mr. Henry Shurband" and John Kenniston were presented for fighting, and "Mr. Henry Shurband & his wife (2nd w. Sarah)" were presented for "disorderly living and fighting" [NHPP 40:253]. Aaron Ferris was presented for abusing "Mr. Henry Sherburne & his wife" at the same court and was fined [NHPP 40:258]. At court 28 June 1671 "Mr. Hen: Sherburne" and John Keneston were presented for fighting, and were admonished. The same court, "Mr. Henry Sherburne & his wife" were presented for disorderly living and fighting. He confessed that they lived "disorderly" and they were both to be fined 50s. or whipped ten stripes. They paid their fees [NHPP 40:271]. At court 27 June 1673 "Mr. Henry Sherburne and John Sherburne his son" were tried for opposing the whipping of David Cambell which had like to have made an insurrection among the people." The Sherburnes were fined and after humbly admitting their fault, the fines were partially remitted [NHPP 40:299]. At court 7 December 1680 "Henry Sherburne" sued Edward Bickford for damage done by Bickford's hogs, cattle and horses, but the court found for Bickford [NHPP 40:370]. At the same court, "Mr. Hen: Sherburne" complained against Edward Bickford's children "stealing of pears" & being legally called & not appearing to prosecute, said Bickford" was discharged [NHPP 40:370]. Edward Bickford with his wife and children were summoned to appear before the court and "answer sundry objections about Mr. Sherburne's death" but no evidence of foul play was found and they were set at liberty 9 June 1681 [NHPP 40:378].

1485	I8466	SPENCER	Thomas	Abt 1596	15 Dec 1681	0	Thomas Spencer, born around 1596 in England. His exact parentage and siblings are uncertain, and DNA testing has disproven previous beliefs about his lineage. Thomas married Patience Chadbourne, daughter of William Chadbourne, likely in England. The couple's first child is estimated to have been born around 1630. Thomas was part of a group of adventurers who sailed on the barque "Warwick" in 1630, aiming to establish a settlement, trade with Native Americans, and obtain lumber. They settled around the Piscataqua and Newichawannock rivers. Thomas's wife, Patience, probably joined him the following year. In 1633, Thomas returned to England and came back to the colonies on the "Pied Cow" in 1634, bringing supplies, more men, and materials for two mills. He initially settled at the falls of Asbenbedick and later inherited a large house and half of a mill at "Great Works" from his father-in-law. In 1650, Thomas purchased a tract of land called Quamphegan from the Sagamore of Newichewanacke, Mr. Rowles, and sold it to Thomas Broughton of Massachusetts. Thomas was a planter and timber harvester, floating timber down the river and sawing it at his mill. He also became a tavern keeper. In 1652, he signed the official document submitting to Massachusetts' governance. However, in 1659, he was disenfranchised for entertaining Quakers, indicating possible Quaker sympathies. Thomas's brother-in-law, Humphrey Chadbourne, expressed concern for Patience in his will, suggesting she might need support. Thomas died on December 15, 1681, in Berwick, York, Massachusetts Bay Colony. His will, dated June 2, 1679, detailed the distribution of his estate, including his dwelling house and lands to his eldest son William, and other properties to his wife Patience for distribution among their children. --------- Thomas arrived at Piscataqua in July 1630 on the barque Warwick (TMS), returned to England in 1633, and returned to the colonies on the Pied Cow in 1634. Thomas was a planter, lumberman, and tavernkeeper. Pope's Pioneers of Maine & New Hampshire says that Thomas was a proprietor of Cambridge MA in 1633, a freeman in 1634 who removed to Kittery. Patience and Thomas lived first at Strawbery Bank (Portsmouth), then on 6 Mar 1636/7 were called residents of "Piscataqua" (Kittery Point), and finally of Newichawannock (S Berwick). Thomas was disenfranchised for entertaining Quakers in 1659 (LND, 652). Evidence that Thomas and Patience may have been Quakers is seen in the courts 7 July 1663 when they were presented for "neglecting to come to the publique meeteing on the Lords day to heare the word preached for about the space of 3 Moenths" (MPC II:139). They were presented again for the same offense on 6 July 1675 (ibid, II:306). In a long list of "those persons yt entertayned the Quakers, with the answers given in by them respectively" we find: "That Thomas Spencer pay as a fine to ye country for his entertayning the Quakers the somme of five pounds, & be disfranchised" (The Records of the Colony of the Massachusetts Bay in New England, Vol 4, part 1, p 407). Edward Wharton piloted a vessel that carried a group of Quakers up the coast, and seven people were fined varying sums and/or disenfranchised (lost the right to vote) by the Massachusetts Bay government, the only entity which could disenfranchise a freeman. Thomas Spencer obviously answered their questions in sympathy with the Quakers, defied the government, and was cast out as a result. Because we don't have copies of his answers to the Court's questions, we don't know how steadfastly he supported the Quakers, but he clearly satisfied the Court that he was in sympathy with them or they would not have taken action against him. They did not take action against James Rawlings, for instance, whom they found to be "more innocent and ingenious then the rest."	tree1
1486	I9707	SPINNEY	Thomas	Nov 1630	31 Aug 1701	0	Mary Spinney probably wasn't the biological daughter of Thomas Spinney. She was most likely born from a marriage between Margery Randall and William Norman, which was later found to be invalid. William Norman had married Margery by falsely claiming he was divorced from his first wife in England. This information was discovered, William was banished from the colony, and their marriage was subsequently annulled. By then, Margery had given birth to Mary, who would go on to marry John Fernald. This account is supported by evidence cited in the New England Historical and Genealogical Register (NEHGR, 65: Jan 1911:85). According to the NEHGR, William Norman, under the false pretense of being divorced, entered into this marriage with Margery Randall. Once the truth about Norman's marital status was revealed, the marriage was legally annulled. However, Mary had already been born by this time. Thomas Spinney initially arrived at Chaleur Bay near Gaspe, now part of Canada, and later moved to the Piscataqua Colony at Strawberry Banks, presently known as Portsmouth, New Hampshire. He traveled there on Captain Fernald's ship and eventually settled in old Kittery, now known as Elliot, Maine. Records in Kittery began to be kept only from 1650, the year Thomas Spinney married Margery Randall. Following her marriage to Thomas Spinney, Mary was recognized as Mary Spinney. Thomas and Margery Spinney later had five additional children: Hannah, Samuel, James, Thomas, and John. This part of the story is detailed in the Genealogical Dictionary of Maine and New Hampshire (p. 512).	tree1

Thomas and Margery Spinney later had five additional children: Hannah, Samuel, James, Thomas, and John. This part of the story is detailed in the Genealogical Dictionary of Maine and New Hampshire (p. 512).	tree1

1491	I4034	STALHAM	Elizabeth	11 Sep 1608	28 Jul 1674	0	Elizabeth Stalham (by Williams family tradition has also been known as "Stratton") sailed with her husband Robert Williams and 4 children for America in the ship "Rose" from Great Yarmouth, landing in New England in the year 1637. According to family tradition, Robert's wife "was of a good family and had been delicately reared; and when her husband desired to come to America, though a truly religious woman, she dreaded the undertaking and shrank from the hardships to be encountered. While the subject was still under discussion, she had a dream foreshadowing that if she went to America, she would become the mother of a long line of worthy ministers of the Gospel. The dream so impressed her that she rose up cheerfully and began to prepare to leave her home and kindred for the new and distant land". (Emily Williams of Wethersfield, MA, a great-great-great-grandaughter of Elizabeth, is remembered to have related this tradition in the early part of the nineteenth century, with full confidence of its truth.)	tree1

1493	I6889	STARBUCK	Edward	16 Feb 1603	12 Apr 1690	0	Edward Starbuck Jr. was born in 1604 at Derbyshire, England. He was the son of Edward Starbuck.1 Edward Starbuck Jr. married Katherine Reynolds, daughter of William Reynoldsand Esther Ruth, circa 1629.1 Edward Starbuck Jr. died in 1691 at Nantucket, Nantucket Island, MA.1 Edward Starbuck Jr. his family was probably originally Danish before going to England centuries before Edward was born. He came to America in the late 1630's or possibly early 1640's and settled in Dover. He lived in Dover for about twenty years and was a large landholder and quite active in local government. His children were all born in Dover and his wife, Katherine, died there sometime before he moved to Nantucket. His family was the second to live on Nantucket. Edward Starbuck and Tristram Coffin were the first two white men to sail to Nantucket for an inspection trip. It would seem both men were pleased and in 1659 the ten First Purchasers and their partners bought the island from Thomas Mayhew. Edward also accompanied Thomas Macy on the first voyage to settle the island in 1661. Edward then returned in the early 1660's to take up permanent residence on Nantucket where he spent the rest of his life. Edward and Katherine had six children, but only one son, Nathaniel, lived to marry and have children. It appears that all the Starbucks in America descend from Nathaniel.	tree1

1498	I9996	STEWART	Sarah	Abt 1647	16 Feb 1716	0	William Stewart of Lynn is believed to have been the same William captured at the Battle of Worcester and transported on the John & Sara in May 1652 and put to work in the Iron Works at Saugus. William testified in Middlesex County court in 1653, aged twenty-four. That puts his birth at about 1629. Sarah Abbott died 16 February 1715/16, 'a. abt. 69 y.' That puts her birth at about 1646/47. As a servant of the Iron Works, William is unlikely to have had a young family who somehow managed to follow him from Scotland. It seems more likely that Sarah was William's very young widow who married Thomas Abbott nine months after William died in 1664.	tree1
