1602	I18533	VALIQUET DIT LAVERDURE	Jean Jaques	14 Jul 1632	20 Aug 1696	0	In 1653, Jean Valiquet was among the hundred or so young Frenchmen recruited by Paul de Chomedey, Sieur de Maisonneuve, to come to New France. In an initiative dubbed "la Grande Recrue" (the great recruitment), de Maisonneuve travelled through Maine and Anjou to find single young men willing to clear land and become soldiers. Jean and his fellow recruits signed contracts with the Companie de Montréal, which promised them a salary, lodging and food, as well as passage if they chose to return to France. Jean, an armorer and locksmith by trade, signed a five-year contract as a militiaman , at a salary of 80 livres per year. Before leaving, he received 114 livres in advance wages. The objectives of the Grande Recrue were to increase the population of Ville-Marie (present-day Montréal) and protect it from Iroquois attacks. Jean left France aboard the Saint-Nicolas from the port of Saint-Nazaire on June 20, 1653. Maisonneuve was also on the ship, as was Marguerite Bourgeoys. After some severe ship trouble and a short stay on l’île Saint-Nicolas-des-Défunts, the Saint-Nicolas arrived in Montréal on November 16. Jean completed his five-year engagement and decided to stay in the colony.	tree1

Andrews , "The Early Pedigree of Vaux of Harrowden and the Marriage of Thomas Gifford and Eleanora Vaux," in Miscellanea Genealogica et Heraldica, Ser. 5, Vol. 4 (1920-1922), 102-112. and Moriarty, G. Andrews , "The Origin of the Vaux Family of Harrowden," in Miscellanea Genealogica et Heraldica, Ser. 5, Vol. 5 (1924), 277-301 and 342-362. William Vaux III. was apparently a lawyer closely associated in business with Chief Justice Thirnyng. He owned, besides the Bottisham and Swafham Bulbee lands, some tenements in Northampton town. He married prior to 1398 Eleanor, daughter of Sir Thomas Drakelowe, Jr., and Ankeret his wife, and died in 1405. His widow then remarried Thomas Chambre of Sprotton, and died between 1445 and 1454. By her William Vaux III. had three children: William Vaux IV., Esq., born about 1400, who married about 1430-35 Maud Lucy, and was Sheriff of Northants in 1436 and Member of Parliament for Northants in 1441; Eleanor, who married about 1429 Thomas Giffard of Twyford, co. Bucks; and, apparently, Isabel, who married Sir William Tresham of Siwell, Northants.	tree1

1606	I7284	VERMANDOIS	Elizabeth of	1085	1131	0	Third daughter of Hugh Magnus and Adelaide of Vermandois and as such represented both the Capetian line of her paternal grandfather Henry I of France, and the Carolingian ancestry of her maternal grandfather Herbert IV of Vermandois. As the wife of two Anglo-Norman magnates, Robert de Beaumont, 1st Earl of Leicester and William de Warenne, 2nd Earl of Surrey, she is the ancestress of hundreds of well-known families down to the present time. Elizabeth is reputed to have had an affair and left her first husband when he was near death. The historian James Planché claimed (1874) that the Countess was seduced by or fell in love with a younger nobleman, William de Warenne. There is no evidence that her second husband, William II de Warenne, second earl of Surrey, was that lover and only later rumors that she had a lover at all during her first marriage. William had sought a royal bride in 1093, but failed in his attempt to wed Matilda of Scotland also known as Edith, who later married Henry I,. He obtained a bride of royal blood when he married Elizabeth in 1118, very soon after the death of Earl Robert. Elizabeth survived her second husband William to later die 1131.	tree1

He established a farm on Ile d'Orleans, an island in the St. Lawrence River east of Quebec City, Canada. Over time, Antoine's sons and their sons migrated from there south to Montreal and Michigan and east to Maine and down the New England coast of the United States. Barbe MÃ©nard was a fil du rois, or 'Daughter of the King'. About 700 of these young ladies were given a dowry by King Louis XIV to induce them to emigrate to the colony of New France. In 1669, 16 year-old Barbe arrived in Quebec with a group of fil du rois and shortly thereafter married Antoine. Barbe was from a Hugenot family (protestant followers of John Calvin) in New Rochelle, France. She and Antoine had seven children before she died giving birth to twins in 1685. The photograph attached to the first message in this thread is of the Ile d'Orleans St. Famille parish registry for the year 1669. It shows the record of Antoine's and Barbe's marriage along with the names of their parents and the names of the witnesses. I have a transcription of the entry in French, which I do not read. I can make out the essential phrases, but if there is someone out there willing to do a translation, I'll provide the transcription and we can all share the results. For those of you who haven't connected your Vermette roots with Antoine and Barbe, post your "brick walls" here in this forum. If everyone combines their information, we can all make the connections and correct any errors in our information. As in all things genealogical, those with different information are encouraged to speak up! One of the reasons I've posted this information is to get some life back into this board!	tree1

Built on a prominent hill overlooking French Flanders, the town has existed since Roman times. It was developed by the Romans into an important urban centre and was the focus of a network of roads, which are still in use today, that converge on the hill. After the fall of the Roman Empire, Cassel became an important fortified stronghold for the rulers of Flanders which was repeatedly fought over before finally being annexed to France in the 17th century.	tree1

1635	I3062	WALDRON	John	1665	12 May 1740	0	khmiller856 I think there may be a few John Waldron's confused. "A" John Waldron married Mary Ham Horne a widow. He was not a Captain as he supposedly had been take off the streets of London as a very young man and became an indentured apprentice. In John Heard's Will of Jan. 1688 "...I give to my prentice John Walldron, iff he doe faithfully serve his time according to his indenture: one cow to be delivered to him.." In John Waldron's his Will of 1740 he does not refer to himself as a Captain. He received a lot of wealth through his marriage & his own fortitude. Mary Ham Horne is also the gr.daughter of John Heard whom held his original indenture. I am not sure it has been discovered who his parents were as he was pressed into "Indentured Servitude" at a very young age & brought to New Hampshire. John Heard was a Master Carpenter & John Waldron learned a trade from him that is why he is referred to as an a prentice.. I know the story says "Chore Boy", but he was more likely learning the trade of a carpenter, which I think makes the story more remarkable. 3 years ago khmiller856 There are three different John Heards that have been confused also. The one who has John Waldron in his Will was John Heard who married Elizabeth Hull but he was not a captain & did not have a ship. It is difficult to be sure because the three different John's have been muddled together for so long & each one is said be a ship master but not all were or any. John Heard may have bought John Waldron as a "Indentured Servant" when he arrived in New England. He refers to him as a prentice in his Will which could mean he taught him the trade of carpentry as he was a Master Carpenter. "Indentured servant" was a labor system where young people paid for passage by working for someone for a number of years sadly sometimes people were also kidnapped. John Heard did not necessarily kidnap Waldron as he was living in NH not England & he had 12 children between 1644 -1667. It would be tough to get to England & kidnap a child then return. He could however have bought out his passage when he arrived in New England. John Heard gave John Waldron a cow in his will when his indenture was finished. That was a very expensive gift to give to someone & John would later marry his gr. daughter. 3 years ago khmiller856 The only one of the three John Heards that seems to be a Captain was John b. 1667 d. 1751. Capt. Heard was the same age as John Waldron so could not have kidnapped him in England. 3 years ago embear624 I totally understand about the several "John Waldron" stories floating around. Have you seen https://amoena.wordpress.com/2009/05/17/descendants-of-john-walderne/ 3 years ago khmiller856 Thanks so much difficult to keep straight.	tree1

1648	I3449	WARREN	Richard	1580	1628	0	· "Richard Warren is among the most enigmatic of the pioneers who crossed the Atlantic in 1620 in the Mayflower. Clearly a man of rank, he was accorded by Governor William Bradford the prefix "Mr.", pronounced Master, used in those times to distinguish someone because of birth or achievement. From his widow's subsequent land transactions, we can assume that he was among the wealthier of the original Plymouth Settlers." And yet, Wm Bradford did not mention him in his "History of the Plimouth Plantation" except in the List of Passengers. "In 'Mort's Relation', published in 1622, we learn that Warren was chosen, when the Mayflower stopped at Cape Cod before reaching Plymouth, to be a member of a ten-man exploring party, and he was described as being 'of London.' Charles Edward Banks, in 'Ancestry and Homes of the Pilgrim Fathers' tells us: 'Richard Warren came from London and was called a merchand of that city (by Mourt) Extensive research in every avaiavble source of information -- registers, chancery, and probate, in the London courts, proved fruitless in an attempt to identify him.' Although research has continued since Banks, we still cannot find records of Warren's parentage of activities in England." "He was not of the Leyden, Holland, Pilgrims, but joined them in Southampton to sail on the Mayflower, leaving his wife and five daughters to follow in 1623 the "Anne." His two sons were born in Plymouth. From: Caleb Johnson's Mayflower Web Pages More erroneous information has been published about Richard Warren than any other Mayflower passenger, probably because he has so many descendants (note that all seven of his children grew up and married). It is time here to debunk many of the mistakes that have been published over the past hundred years. Common mistake #1. Richard Warren's wife is not Elizabeth (Jewett/Jonatt/Juett) Marsh. This is easily disproven. Elizabeth (Jewett) Marsh was born in 1614, which makes her not only younger than Richard Warren's two oldest children, but also makes her only fourteen years old when Richard Warren died. [Mayflower Descendant 2:63]. Common mistake #2. Richard Warren is not a proven descendant of any royalty, whether it be Sir John de Warrene or Charlemagne. Richard Warren's parents have not even been identified, despite extensive searches in the records of England (see the Mayflower Quarterly, 51:109-112 for a summary of one such search). The only concrete things we know about Richard Warren's ancestry are that he was a merchant of London--whether he was born there or not is an entirely different question. We also know that his wife was named Elizabeth. He had five daughters baptized in England somewhere, and perhaps the true records will some day be brought to light. There is a Richard Warren who married an Elizabeth Evans on 1 January 1592/3 in St. Leonards, and a Richard Warren who married an Elizabeth Doucke on 1 November 1596 in Sidmouth, Devon. However, since Richard's first child was born about 1610, a marriage in 1592 or 1596 seems most unlikely. ============================= Richard Warren's English origins and ancestry have been the subject of much speculation, and countless different ancestries have been published for him, without a shred of evidence to support them. Luckily in December 2002, Edward Davies discovered the missing piece of the puzzle. Researchers had long known of the marriage of Richard Warren to Elizabeth Walker on 14 April 1610 at Great Amwell, Hertford. Since we know the Mayflower passenger had a wife named Elizabeth, and a first child born about 1610, this was a promising record. But no children were found for this couple in the parish registers, and no further evidence beyond the names and timing, until the will of Augustine Walker was discovered in December 2002 by Edward Davies. In the will of Augustine Walker, dated April 1613, he mentions "my daughter Elizabeth Warren wife of Richard Warren", and "her three children Mary, Ann and Sarah." We know that the Mayflower passenger's first three children were named Mary, Ann, and Sarah (in that birth order), and that they were born c1610, c1612, and c1614, so this put the nail in the coffin and we can say with near certainty that Richard Warren of the Mayflower married in Great Amwell, Hertford to Elizabeth Walker, daughter of Augustine Walker. Additional research is currently being sponsored by MayflowerHistory.com to see if anything further can be learned about these families. Very little is known about Richard Warren's life in America. He came alone on the Mayflower in 1620, leaving behind his wife and five daughters. They came to him on the ship Anne in 1623, and Richard and Elizabeth subsequently had sons Nathaniel and Joseph at Plymouth. He received his acres in the Division of Land in 1623, and his family shared in the 1627 Division of Cattle. But he died a year later in 1628, the only record of his death being found in Nathaniel Morton's 1669 book New England's Memorial, in which he writes: "This year [1628] died Mr. Richard Warren, who was an useful instrument and during his life bare a deep share in the difficulties and troubles of the first settlement of the Plantation of New Plymouth." All of Richard Warren's children survived to adulthood, married, and had large families: making Richard Warren one of the most common Mayflower passengers to be descended from. Richard Warren's descendants include such notables as Civil War general Ulysses S. Grant, President Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Alan B. Shepard, Jr. the first American in space and the fifth person to walk on the moon. ==================== Edward J. Davies has found evidence for Augustine Walker, Great Amwell, Hertfordshire, as the father of Elizabeth, who married Richard Warren on 14 April 1610, in that same location. (The American Genealogist, April 2003, v. 78, no. 2, p. 81-86) ==================== An article by Edward J. Davies in the April 2003 issue of The American Genealogist gives evidence that Elizabeth Warren may have been the daughter of Augustine Walker. An Elizabeth Walker, daughter of Augustine Walker, married a Richard Warren in Great Amwell, Hertfordshire, on April 14, 1610. The will of Augustine Walker, dated April 19, 1613, refers not only to his daughter Elizabeth Warren but also her 3 daughters : Mary, Ann and Sarah. These three Warren daughters correspond to three of the Warren daughters who were passengers on the Anne in 1623. ================ A 1620 Mayflower passenger, Richard Warren is unusual because, although Bradford in his "decreasing and increasings" gives him the honorific title "Mr.", he does not mention him at all in the test of his history, and very little is known about him except for a few brief mentions elsewhere. In "Mourt's Relation" p. 15, Winslow lists ten men on an early expedition at Cape Cod, them of whom, including Richard Warren, were from London. Judging from land transactions of his widow, Elizabeth, who came over in 1623 on the ship Anne with daughters Abigail, Anna, Elizabeth, Mary and Sarah, the family appears to have been one of the wealthier ones at Plymouth. Richard and Elizabeth Warren had two sons born at Plymouth, Nathaniel, who married Sarah Walker, and Joseph, who married Priscilla Faunce. Richard Warren, prob. b. England. d Plymouth 1628.

The 22 May 1627 division of cattle names Richard Warren, wife Elizabeth Warren, Nathaniel Warren, Joseph Warren, Mary Warren, Anna Warren, Sara Warren, Elizabeth Warren and Abigail Warren. In a codicil to his will dated 16 July 1667 Nathaniel Warren mentions his mother Elizabeth Warren, his brother, Joseph Warren, and his sisters Mary Bartlett, Anna Little, Sarah Cooke, Elizabeth Church and Abigail Snow. On 4 March 1673/4 Mary Bartlett, the wife of Robert Bartlett ack. she had received full satisfaction for her share of the estate of Mistris Elizabeth Warren, deceased; and John Cooke in behalf of all her sisters testified to the same. The court settled the remainder of the estate on Joseph Warren. Richard Warren (Mayflower, 1620) was born in England between 1580 and 1590. He was a merchant of Greenwich, Kent, died at Plymouth in 1628. "Grave Richard Warren, a man of integrity, justice and uprightness, of piety and serious religion, a useful citizen, bearing a deep share of the difficulties and troubles of the plantation." He joined the Pilgrims at Southampton. He married Mrs. Elizabeth (Jouatt) Marsh. (NOTE - THIS IS INCORRECT). Elizabeth was not a Mayflower passenger, but came to Plymouth in 1623 on the "Anne" with their five daughters, Mary, Ann, Sarah, Elizabeth and Abigail. They also had two sons, Nathaniel and Joseph, born in Plymouth. Richard Warren was born pre 1590, poss. London, Eng; his origins have not been found. He died in 1628. Richard married pre 1610, poss. London, Elizabeth (___). Despite what has previously appeared in print (e.g. Marsh, Jowett) her maiden name is unknown. Richard, of London, came in the "Mayflower"; signed the Company; settled at Plymouth; "an useful instrument; bore a deep share in the difficulties and troubles of settlement." (Mor.)

In his accounting of the passengers of the Mayflower Bradford include d "Mr. Richard Warren, but his wife and children were left behind and came afterwards." As of 1651, Bradford reported that "Mr. Richard Warren lived some four or five years and had his wife come over to him, by whom he had two sons before he died, and one of them is married and hath two children. So his increase is four. But he had five daughters more came over with his wife, who are all married and living, and have many children." Many attempts, all fruitless, have been made to discover the English origin of Richard Warren and the identity of his wife. Richard Warren was in the party that explored the outer cape in early Dec 1620; he was described as being of London. In the 1623 Plymouth division of land Richard Warren received an uncertain number of acres (perhaps two) as a passenger on the Mayflower, and five acres as a passenger on the Anne (presumably for his wife and children). In the 1627 Plymouth division of cattle Richard Warren, his wife Elizabeth Warren, Nathaniel Warren, Joseph Warren, Mary Warren, Anna Warren, Sarah Warren, Elizabeth Warren and Abigail Warren were the first nine persons in the ninth company.2 3 4 5 6 7 · Event: Separatist Religion Ancestry Hints for Richard Warren 2 possible matches found on Ancestry.com Marriage 1 Elizabeth Walker b: Abt 1583 in England c: Sep 1583 in Great Amwell, Hertford, EnglandMarried: 14 Apr 1610 in Great Amwell, Hertford, England 8 Note: **Richard Warren and Elizabeth Walker are the ancestors of Shana Wallace (though daughter Mary), and US Presidents Gran (though son Nathaniel) and FDR (through Nathaniel, Sarah, Abigail, and Elizabeth).

According to Virginia law, children born to white women were free, even if their father was a slave. A Virginia court bound out Elisha, like many other mulatto children, as an apprentice for eight years. Seven years into her apprenticeship, a Portsmouth, New Hampshire, sea captain, William Loud Jr., bought the remainder of her time, but treated her instead as a servant for life, or slave. Loud later sold her “forever” to Daniel Wentworth, one of Governor Benning Wentworth’s younger brothers. Wentworth retained a bill of sale to that effect. With the help of Judge Thomas Cable in Virginia, who had originally set up Elisha’s apprenticeship, and of an able Portsmouth attorney, Matthew Livermore, she was able to prove in 1741 to the satisfaction of the court in Portsmouth that she had been born free. from https://www.nhhistory.org/Timeline	tree1

1661	I2882	WENTWORTH	William	15 Mar 1613	15 Mar 1697	0	The first record of Elder William Wentworth in America is on 4 Jul 1639 when his signature appeared, along with those of 35 others including Reverend John Wheelwright, on the Exeter Combination for government. Rev. Wheelwright had been banished from Massachusetts along with Anne Hutchinson (for his religious views) and had purchased from Native Americans the title to 2 pieces of land in New Hampshire. The settlement was created in 1638 around the lower falls of Swamscott River--what is now Exeter. The original document is preserved among the records of Exeter. The Combination is essentially similar to the "Mayflower Compact" in that it established a cooperative government where none existed. William was from Wheelwright's parish in England and probably came to America with him or shortly after. As circumstantial evidence of this, just after Wheelwright's arrival in Boston (26 May 1636) Elder William Wentworth's father (William Sr) sold his property in England and there is no record of either of them in England after that. As the Ruling Elder of the First Church in Dover, Elder William was responsible for preaching and serving the needs of the congregation in the absence of the preacher. Due to the geographic distance and difficulty many members had reaching the church held at the meeting house on Dover Neck, Elder William spent the last 40 years or so preaching. He was the first person ever employed by public authority to preach within the city limits of Dover, but he officiated more commonly at Quamphegan (now South Berrwick) which also served the Salmon Falls area. Later in life he also preached in Exeter. The tale of how Elder William held off the Indians during the massacre at Cocheco in 1689 is well known. On 28 Jun 1689, Elder William was at Heard's garrison (the frontier post between Portsmouth and Canada), about a mile from his house. That night some of the squaws in the garrison requested to sleep by the kitchen fire (not unusual). But in the middle of the night, the squaws got up and admitted the attacking Indians. A dog barking at them awoke and alerted Elder William, who at 73 years of age managed to somehow push the entering Indians back out, shut the door, and then fall against it to barricade it until help came despite the shots being fired through the door just over his head while he held it. This was the only garrison saved that night. From the others attacked, 23 people were killed and 29 were taken captive.	tree1

His house lot of 11 acres was at the (present) corner of Main and Walden Streets, and in conjunction with Capt. Timothy Wheeler, who was probably his brother or nephew, he owned a large amount of land in the center of the town including the original part of what is now The Colonial Inn in Concord.

1671	I1338	WIGGIN	Thomas	20 Sep 1601	1666	0	From the History of New Hampshire, Volume 1 by Stackpole (1901): Captain Thomas Wiggin came here in 1631 as an agent of the Bristol Company and the town he founded on Dover Neck was first called Bristol as shown on a 1634 map. About 2 years later the Bristol men sold their share of the patent (about 2/3, the other 1/3 owned by Shrewberry) to "lords and gentlemen" in 25 shares. Thomas Wi\ggin continued to be the agent of the company. He returned to England and then to Salem, MA in the ship James, arriving 10 Oct 1633 with about 30 other men. It was the design of Capt. Thomas Wiggin to found a city or compact town on Dover Neck, about one mile north from Hilton's Point. Old deeds mention High street and Low street and Dirty Lane. The location was ideal, commanding a view for many miles around. Each settler had a home lot of three or four acres, while out lots, or farms, were assigned by common consent on the shores of Back River and other streams, easily reached by boat. Soon a meeting house was erected on Low street, to be succeeded by a larger one on High street in 1654, used after 1675 as a fortification. Conspicuous among the first settlers of ancient Dover were Captain Thomas Wiggin, leader and governor of the colony on Dover Neck, who later settled in what is now Stratham, became one of the early judges and founded an extensive and well known family. The settlers of the first four towns believed emphatically in home rule. Their Combinations were mutual consents to selfgovernment. They were in effect little democratic republics, electing their own rulers and making their own laws. They were guided by the known laws and customs of England, adapted to new conditions. In their legislation they tried to express what seemed to the majority to be right. Nothing was done arbitrarily and in the spirit of tyranny. Yet their power was limited and some bold spirits defied their authority. They feared to try capital cases and appealed to Massachusetts to punish some offenders. At least this was the case in Dover, although Captain Thomas Wiggin was politically a Puritan and leaned toward the jurisdiction of the Bay Colony. He may have taken this course as a step toward union therewith. It is certain that the authorities in Boston felt that they had a trustworthy friend in Captain Wiggin and that he would do all in his power to get their claims recognized. JOHN WINTHROP wrote in his Journal, October ii, 1638, "Capt. Wiggin of Pascataquack wrote to the Governor, that one of his people had stabbed another and desired he might be tried in the Bay if the party died. The Governor answered that if Pascataquack lay within their limits (as it was supposed), they would try him." Thus early had the men of Massachusetts Bay begun to claim more than belonged to them. Wlien New Hampshire was swallowed up by Massachusetts the formation of a new county became expedient. Norfolk County was formed May 10, 1643. It consisted of the towns of Salisbury, Hampton, Haverhill, Exeter, Dover and Strawberry Bank, or Portsmouth. The early judges and associates were Francis Williams, Thomas Wiggin, George Smyth, Samuel Dudley, Robert Clements, Ambrose Lane, Brian Pendleton, Henry Sherburne, Major Richard Walderne, Major Robert Pike, Edward Hilton, Richard Cutt, Valentine Hill, and Reynold Fernald.	tree1

Robert Williams of Somerton although living in England was claimed by tradition to be of Welsh descent rather than English. He was the earliest ancestor bearing the Williams name about whom anything definite is known. In 1600 and 1602 as church warden he was in charge of parish accounts and was responsible for the property of the church. Duplicate bills bearing his signature; sent to the Bishop of orwich were found although the original records of the church of West Somerton appearedto be no longer in existence. In his will he called himself "husbandman" (a farmer) and names his tow children, bequeathing to his daughter Bridget and her husband all his houses in West Somerton providing they pay to his son Stephen, twelve pounds, ten shillings. The death of Robert Williams occurred between February 12 1606, the date of his will and March 28, 1609 when it was proved and recorded in the Archdeaconry Court of Norwich.	tree1
1677	I4033	WILLIAMS	Robert	Bef 11 Dec 1608	1 Sep 1693	0	Robert Williams, born in 1608 in Great Yarmouth, England, to Stephen and Margaret (Cooke) Williams, led a life that bridged the old world of England and the new world of America. Baptized on December 11, 1608, in St. Nicholas Parish, his early years were marked by a move to Norwich at the age of 15, where he apprenticed as a cordwainer, honing his skills in shoemaking. In 1630, Robert became a freeman of Norwich, and by 1635, he had risen to the position of warden of his Guild. His life took a significant turn in 1637 when he decided to leave England. He boarded the ship "Rose" and arrived in Boston on June 20, 1637. This move to America marked the beginning of a new chapter in his life. Once in Roxbury, Massachusetts, Robert quickly established himself as a respected member of the community. He became a freeman of Roxbury on May 2, 1638, and was actively involved in local governance, serving as a selectman from 1647 to 1653. He also joined the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company in 1644, indicating his involvement in the local militia. Robert's personal life was intertwined with Elizabeth Stalham, whom he had married in England. Elizabeth, who was older than Robert and came from a well-to-do family, initially hesitated to emigrate. However, according to family tradition, a dream predicting that she would be the mother of a line of ministers convinced her to join her husband in the New World. The couple had four children, including a daughter, Elizabeth, who later married Richard Cutter. The Williams family home, built in 1644 in Roxbury, became a significant landmark, housing five generations of the family until its demolition in 1794. This homestead was a symbol of the family's stability and presence in the Roxbury community. Robert was known for his support of education, contributing to the first free school in America. He believed in the importance of education for the community's future, a value that was reflected in his actions. Robert Williams passed away in 1693, leaving behind a legacy of community involvement and commitment to education. His descendants included notable figures in American history, such as William Williams, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, and others who made significant contributions in various fields. His life story, from his beginnings in England to his influential role in early American society, showcases the journey of an individual who sought new opportunities and contributed to the shaping of a new nation.	tree1
1678	I4033	WILLIAMS	Robert	Bef 11 Dec 1608	1 Sep 1693	0	The eldest son of Stephen and Margaret (Cooke) Williams, of St. Nicholas Parish, Great Yarmouth, England. He was baptized 11 Dec 1608. In 1623, he left his father's house and went to Norwich where he was apprenticed to be a cordwainer. He embarked for Boston on 20 Jun 1637 on the ship "Rose" and after arrival in Roxbury became a freeman on 2 May 1638. From 1647-1653 he was one of the 5 selectmen there. In 1644 he became a member of the Ancient and Honorble Artillery Company. The homestead of Robert Williams (1644), in which five generations of the family lived and died, remained standing until 1794, upon the site now occupied by the large brick dwelling-house on Dearborn Street, near the school-house. He came from Norwich, England, "and is the common ancestor of the divines, civilians, and warriors of this name, who have honored the country of their birth." Among his distinguished descendants are Col. Ephraim Williams, founder of Williams College ; Rev. Elisha, president of Yale College ; William, Governor of Connecticut, and a signer of the Declaration of Independence; Col. Joseph, of Roxbury, and Rev. Eleazer, he " lost Bourbon." Robert was married to Elizabeth Stalham (1597-1674). They had 4 childen, their daughter Elizabeth (1620-62) married Richard Cutter (1621-93). The Williams families of America descend from more than a score of different ancestors. That several of them were related to Richard of Taunton seems certain, but the degree has not been traced in various instances. The immigrant ancestor of the following family was the progenitor of a race unusually prolific of divines, civilians and warriors of the name who have honored the country of their birth. The number and high character and strong influence of the ministers of the gospel of this family is remarkable. Among the distinguished men of the family have been the founder of Williams College, a bishop of the diocese of Connecticut, a president of Yale College, a chief justice, and many other learned and useful men. (I) Robert Williams appears by name among the early members of the church in Roxbury, Massachusetts, where he became a freeman, May 2. 1638. The place of his birth and early life was for a long time a matter of conjecture: but in 1893, two hundred years after his death, there was found in Norwich, England, an indenture of apprenticeship of Nicholas, son of the late Stephen Williams, of Yarmouth, cordwainer (shoemaker), to Robert Williams, and another record stating that Robert was in 1635 warden of the guild of cordwainers and sealer of leather for the city of Norwich. Later was found in the register of the church of St. Nicholas at Great Yarmouth, a record of the marriage of Stephen Williams and Margaret Cooke, September 22, 1605. Also baptisms of the following named children: Robert, December 11, 1608, Nicholas, August 11, 1616: John, February 2, 1618; Frances, June 10, 1621. There was an elder sister Ann; Robert was born in July, 1607; was baptized when eighteen months old in December, 1608; was married to Elizabeth Stalham probably before 1630. and had four children, two sons and two daughters, born to him in England, all of whom accompanied him to America. In 1905 it was discovered that Elizabeth Stalham was baptized in 1595, which shows that she was nearly thirteen years older than her husband. "She 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 shrunk from the hardships to be encountered. While the subject was still under consideration 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 cheerfully rose up and began to prepare to leave her home and kindred for the new and distant land." The dream was fulfilled, but not in the mother's day. for she died October 24, 1674, leaving no son in the christian ministry. Nine years afterward, her grandsons, John and William Williams, cousins, graduated from Harvard College, two of a class of three and the day of fulfillment began. Robert Williams was much interested in education and made liberal arrangements to assist the free schools, was a subscriber to and for many years a trustee of the funds raised for their benefit, and was one of the most influential men in town affairs. He disposed of his property by will, which is still extant. The children of John and Elizabeth, so far as known, were: Samuel, Mary, a daughter, John, Isaac, Stephen, Thomas. From: New England Families, Genealogical and Memorial: A Record of the ....Volume 4, pages 2081 - 2085 Edited by William Richard Cutter Lewis historical publishing company, 1913 Robert Williams, known as “Robert Williams of Roxbury”, was the first of this line in America. He was the son of Stephen Williams of Great Yarmouth, County Norfolk; and the grandson of Robert Williams of West Somerton, of a sixteenth century family which reaches back to a considerable antiquity residing in that town. Robert Williams of Roxbury was born in July, 1607; baptized at Great Yarmouth, Dec. 11, 1608; was a freeman of Norwich in 1630; and warden of his Guild in 1635. He was a cordwainer, or shoemaker, at the time when that term included the entire business, from the capitalist who supplied the place of manufacture to the cobbler who drove the pegs. Before coming to America, Robert Williams married Elizabeth Stalham (or Stratton). She was a gentlewoman, unaccustomed to hardships, and demurred to the proposed emigration; but she was very devout. So when she had a vision which predicted that, if she went to America she would become the foremother of a long line of worthy ministers of the gospel, she hesitated no longer. Of course the prophecy could not be fulfilled in her day; but Robert Williams of Roxbury is the ancestor of many divines, civilians, and other worthies who have honored the county of their birth. Robert Williams of Norwich emigrated to Massachusetts in 1637, coming in the “John and Dorothy”, of Ipswich, and arriving in Boston, June 20, 1637. (Another record says that he sailed from Great Yarmouth on the ship “Rose”, and landed in Boston in 1635.) He was freeman of Roxbury, Mass., in 1638; and member of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company in 1644. He was one of the substantial contributors to the first free school in America - a fact which should give great satisfaction to his descendants. His wife Elizabeth died at Roxbury, July 8, 1674. His second wife was Martha Strong, who died Dec. 22, 1704. He died in 1693. His grave cannot be located in the Roxbury burying-ground, though those of his wife Elizabeth and his son Samuel are found.

1683	I11160	WISE	Humphrey Wyeth	1591	26 Mar 1639	0	Humphrey Wise, the immigrant, was living in Ipswich, Massachusetts in 1635, although we do not know just when he came to America. He had a one acre house lot on the south side of the river, and apparently owned other property. His wife's name was Susanna (Susan), but her surname is not known. Humphrey lived in New England for a short time as he died in 1638; subsequently little information is available about him. He did not leave a will. After Humphrey's death Susanna married secondly in 1639, Samuel Greenfield of Salem, who was later accused by the court of having taken into his possession without legal order, the property which had belonged to Humphrey. On Jan. 13, 1639, the General Court of Boston ordered the Court at Ipswich "to examine and settle all things belonging to the estate of Humfrey Wisse, including all the land sold and unsold." The Ipswich Court on Jan. 26, 1639, asked for an inventory of the estate which amounted to about 140 lbs. Mr. Greenfield must have been able to convince the court of his honesty, as it approved the sale of the house and land and such other sales as had already been made, and appointed him as administrator of the estate. He gave bond to handle the money and to bring up the five minor children until the boys were 21 and the girls 18 years of age, at which time each was to receive a cretain portion of the estate. The court further agreed that with the consent of Samuel Greenfield and Susan, his wife, that Benjamin the oldest boy, should be apprenticed to his brother-in-law, Abraham Perkins, for seven years from Sept. 29, 1638. Since the apprenticeship was dated back it is probable that Benjamin had been living with his sister, Mary, since that date. Humphrey and Susanna had eight children, all or most of whom must have been born in England. We do not have their birthdates or order of their births, except that the last five named were minors at the time of their father's death. The three oldest were apparently married and had received their share of the estate before Humphrey's death. http://members.xoom.com/roycl/Hussey/ Humphrey is mentioned in Filby's Passenger and Immigration List Index as being an immigrant: Name: Wise, Humphrey Place: Massachusetts Year: 1620-1650 Source Publication Code: 275 Source Publication Page Number: 181 Document Type: Immigrant Record Source: Passenger and Immigration Lists Index	tree1

Yaroslav's Christian name was George (Yuri) after Saint George (Old East Slavic: Гюрьгi, Gjurĭgì). Four different towns in four different countries were founded by and named after Yaroslav: Yaroslavl (in today's Russia), Yuryev (now Tartu, Estonia) and another Yuryev (now Bila Tserkva, Ukraine), and Jarosław in Poland. Following the Russian custom of naming military objects such as tanks and planes after historical figures, the helmet worn by many Russian soldiers during the Crimean War was called the "Helmet of Yaroslav the Wise". It was the first pointed helmet to be used by any army, even before German troops wore pointed helmets.	tree1

Edward Woodman was one of the ninety one grantees who settled Newbury and one of fifteen of that number who was entitled to be called "Mr".He served as executive officer or selectman from the beginnings of Newbury and for several years after.He owned extensive lands including a house lot with 4 acres, a house lot with 1 acre, 45 acres field and upland meadow, 20 acres of salt marsh, a 4 acre planting lot, as well as several other parcels of upland, salt and fresh marsh and meadow. These additional parcels ranged from a few acres, to 300 and 500 acre parcels. We are descended from Edward and Joanna on the Laviolette (DeRochemont) side.	tree1

Joseph Woodsum was the father of eleven children and progenitor of all the American Woodsum (Woodsome/Woodsom) families.2 He settled before 1708 in Berwick, York County, Maine.2 He was a tailor. He and sons Joseph and John appears on a list of Captain John Hill's company, on 22 October 1740 in Berwick.He was living on 19 January 1756. Joseph's marriage to Margaret was likely an unhappy one. In August 1708, before they married, Margaret was indiscreet with Francis Shallot at Newcastle. Whether for this offense or a later one, she was acquitted of adultery in Boston in 1714 while Joseph was in England. She then disappears from the records, but was probably still living because Joseph waited some years to marry Abigail with whom he had been having an affair since at least 1717 when the couple was first presented to the court for bastardy. Joseph Woodsum and Abigail Abbot were in court charged with bastardy in September 1717 in York County, Maine. Joseph Woodsum was in court charged with cursing in March 1719 in York County, Maine. Joseph Woodsum and Abigail Abbot were again in court charged with bastardy in March 1722 in York County, Maine. Joseph Woodsum was in court charged with profanity in June 1726 in York County, Maine.	tree1

Joseph gives two deposititons in 1606 in the Court of Exchequer proceedings and deposes that his father Richard (No. 15) is the grandfather of the defendant Richard (No. 20). He testifies in 1606 as being “age 40 years or thereabouts” and indicates that he is from West Haddon and also “of Rugby.” The will of Joseph Worcester the elder of Rugby is dated Feb. 10, 1644/45. In his will, Joseph names his wife Alice, eldest son William, another son Joseph, and daughters Anne French, Alice Cave, and Susanna Mason. The Parish Register of the Church of St. Andrew, Rugby, indicates that Joseph was the churchwarden there. His signature appears on the register for 1624 and 1634.

William prepared a will dated 1551 in which he names a brother Henry of West Haddon and a wife Elizabeth dau of John Mutton of East Haddon. Elizabeth also prepared a will dated 1567. Both the court proceedings and the two wills help establish that William and Elizabeth had a son named Richard and a daughter Ursula. William’s will also makes reference to a William and a Peter without any identification, but must have referred to his first two grandchildren by his son Richard. William probably died in 1551, the same year as his will, and certainly before 1567 since Elizabeth is a widow when she prepares her will in that year.
