803	I2475	FROST	Elder Edmund	Abt 1609	12 Jul 1672	0	Edmund and Thomasine (Clench) Frost were married in Earls Colne, Essex, England on April 16, 1634. It is believed that they migrated in 1635 to Cambridge, attempting a crossing in the Great Hope which only made it to Yarmouth, England and then completing the trip on the Defence, landing in Boston on October 2, 1635. They lived in Cambridge where he became a freeman in 1636 and was one of the original members of the First Congregational Church of Cambridge , being installed as Elder in February of that year, and then Deacon. Edmund's original lands were on the West side of Dunster St. between Harvard Square and Mt. Auburn St. He sold them and bought a house on the west side of Garden St, which he sold in 1646. He became one of the first members of the governing body of Harvard, which was established in 1636. His will was signed with his written signature and named his 9 children with Thomasine, all but the first born in Cambridge. Thomasine had previously been identified as a Gateway ancestor, believed to have been the Thomasine Clench baptized Bottisham, Cambridgeshire, 6 October 1608, the daughter of Robert Clench and Joan Webbe. However, a subsequent, 2021 article refutes this, based largely on her likely age at marriage, and makes a case for Thomasine being baptized in Colchester on August 1, 1613, daughter of John Clench and Mary (Marshall) Clench. This is still being researched. We are descended through the Wright (Tucker) side.	tree1

Eventually settling in Dover, he married Elizabeth Clarke in 1642. Elizabeth's parents are unknown. The Furbers are among the first settlers in Dover and he was a signer of the Dover Combination.	tree1

810	I14770	GAGNON	Pierre	14 Feb 1612	17 Apr 1699	0	Pierre Gagnon, born in February 1612 in La Gaignonnière, Tourouvre, Perche, France, was baptized on February 14, 1612, in the church of Sainte-Madeleine de La Ventrouze. He was the son of Pierre Gagnon and Renée Roger. Pierre's journey to New France marked the beginning of a significant family line in Quebec's history. Around 1640, Pierre emigrated to New France with his brothers Mathurin and Jean, joining their sister who had previously settled with her husband, Eloi Tavernier. Their widowed mother, Renée Roger, also made the journey, cementing the Gagnon family's commitment to the new colony. Upon arrival, the Gagnon brothers quickly established themselves as industrious settlers and entrepreneurs. They acquired farms along the coast between Château-Richer and Sainte-Anne, while also engaging in trade in Quebec City during the winter months. On August 14, 1651, they purchased land in the Lower Town of Quebec, and on October 6, 1658, they acquired a store, demonstrating their business acumen. Pierre's personal land grant in Château-Richer measured 6.5 arpents of river frontage by 126 arpents deep, a substantial property that would become the foundation of his family's legacy in the area. He engaged in some land transactions, notably ceding half an arpent to Nicholas Lebel on May 13, 1657, only to reclaim it on December 29, 1668. On September 14, 1642, Pierre married Vincente Desvarieux in Notre-Dame de Québec. Vincente, born around 1624 in St-Vincent d'Aubermail, Caux, Normandy, France, was the daughter of Jean Desvarieux and Marie Chevalier. She likely arrived in New France as a fille à marier, one of the young women sent to the colony to help establish families. Pierre and Vincente had ten children together: Jean (1643-1699) Anne (1643-1666) Pierre (1646-1687) Jeanne (1648-1648) Pierre-Paul (1649-1711) - became a priest Joseph (1651-1680) René (1653-1653) Marie-Madeleine (1655-1677) - became a nun Raphaël (1658-1681) Noël (1660-1708) Their family life reflected the challenges and triumphs of early colonial life. While they lost several children at a young age, others went on to play significant roles in the religious and social fabric of New France. Pierre-Paul became one of the first Canadian-born priests, while Marie-Madeleine entered the Augustinian convent, known for her piety and devotion. Pierre was confirmed in the Catholic faith on August 10, 1659, by Bishop Laval in Notre-Dame de Québec, underscoring the importance of religion in the family's life. The 1666 census listed Pierre as a 50-year-old merchant, living with Vincente and their children in Beaupré. By 1681, at the age of 70, Pierre was recorded as owning 2 guns, 22 horned animals, and 40 arpents of cultivated land, indicating the family's prosperity and established position in the community. Vincente Desvarieux passed away on January 2, 1695, in Château-Richer, where she was buried the following day. Pierre lived for a few more years, dying on April 17, 1699, at the age of 87. He was buried the next day in the cemetery of La-Visitation-de-Notre-Dame parish in Château-Richer.	tree1
811	I12446	GAGNON	Robert	1 Mar 1628	1 Sep 1703	0	Robert Gagnon and Marie Parenteau were early settlers of New France who played a role in populating and developing the young colony. Robert arrived in Quebec around 1655 as a young man in his late 20s, likely seeking new opportunities in the New World. Just two years later, he married Marie Parenteau, who had also recently immigrated from France as one of the filles à marier (marriageable girls) sent to help grow the colony's population. The couple settled on Île d'Orléans near Quebec City, where they raised a large family of at least 9 children between 1659 and 1680. Census records show them steadily expanding their farm over the years, from 15 arpents of cleared land and 7 animals in 1667 to 20 arpents and 6 cattle by 1681. As pioneer farmers, they helped establish a permanent French presence in the St. Lawrence Valley. Their numerous descendants contributed to the growth of the colony, with Robert reportedly having 131 descendants by 1729, just 26 years after his death. Through their family and farm, Robert and Marie played their part in laying the foundations for the future province of Quebec. ---- , 2nd Cousin Of Brothers Mathurin, Jehan And Pierre; Early New France Pioneer	tree1

814	I7253	GALLOWAY	Alan of	Bef 1199	Feb 1234	0	Alan of Galloway, a prominent figure in the 13th century, was a Scottish magnate known for his significant influence in the Kingdom of Scotland and the Irish Sea zone. Born before 1199, Alan was the eldest son of Roland, Lord of Galloway, and Helen de Morville. His lineage connected him to the kings of England and the Isles, positioning him as a key player in the political landscape of his time. Alan's rise to prominence began around 1200, following his father's death, when he inherited the lordship of Galloway and the prestigious position of Constable of Scotland. This role, passed down from the Morvilles through his mother, placed him in charge of leading the king's royal forces, a testament to his military prowess and leadership. Throughout his career, Alan demonstrated a keen ability to navigate the complex political environment of the era. He was an advisor to King John of England concerning the Magna Carta and played a significant role in King Alexander II of Scotland's ambitions in northern England during the turbulent period following the repudiation of the Magna Carta. Alan's influence extended beyond Scotland. He was actively involved in the English colonization of Ulster, receiving a substantial grant in the region from the English king. This move not only served English interests but also bolstered the security of the Scottish realm. His involvement in Ulster and the Isles, regions under nominal Norwegian authority, even provoked a significant military response from King Hákon Hákonarson of Norway, highlighting the extent of his influence. As the ruler of the semi-autonomous Lordship of Galloway, Alan was a figure of considerable military might, courted by both Scottish and English kings. He was recognized in Norse saga-accounts as one of the greatest warriors of his time. His military and political acumen was evident in his ability to serve both his liege lords - the kings of England and Scotland - successfully, up until the political situation in England began to deteriorate with King John facing increasing baronial resistance. Alan's involvement in the negotiations of the Magna Carta in 1215 further underscores his significance. His name appears among the twenty-seven advisors in the preamble of the charter, indicating his role in counseling the king regarding this landmark document. Alan's death in 1234 marked the end of his dynasty's rule over Galloway. Under Celtic custom, his illegitimate son could have succeeded him, but feudal Scottish law dictated that his nearest heirs were his daughters. This led to the partition of the lordship amongst them, an event that Alexander II used to further integrate Galloway into the Scottish realm. Alan of Galloway's legacy is that of a powerful lord who navigated the complex political waters of his time with skill and acumen. His contributions to the history of Scotland and the British Isles during a period of significant upheaval and change are still recognized today.	tree1

Was he killed in captivity or while trying to escape? His son, Charles, only ten years old at the time, was raised by the Iroquois. He was a habitant du bourg d’Oneiout, pays d’en haut. His Iroquois name was Gannonchiase. He married Marie Gonnentenne, an Iroquois Oneiout, about 1677 at Quebec. She died September 6, 1683, a pensionnaire chez les Ursulines.	tree1
818	I2	GARLAND	Albert Haven	31 Jul 1868	14 Jan 1951	0	Albert lived on Woodbury Avenue at Christian Shore on Maplewood Ave after they moved from Raitts Court where they lived in 1920. He last resided at the Wentworth Home. Prior to that he had lived for several weeks with daughter Amelia. Since he was left an orphan at a young age, Albert was given to a Coleman family in Newington where he worked for room and board from childhood. An honest man with no formal education, he never traveled more than fifty miles from his home. I cannot find Albert in the 1880 census. In the 1900 census Albert was a single farm laborer in Newington, not too far from where Amelia and first husband Israel Neill were living. In 1920 he was listed as a baggage master with the railroad. With him were his wife, daughter Amelia and widowed brother Frank, aged 65 who had no occupation. In 1930 he and wife Amelia were alone, and Albert was a laborer of odd jobs. They rented their very primitive home on Woodbury Ave for $6 a month. They were very poor, proud people.	tree1

He was called "John of Gaunt" because he was born in Ghent, then rendered in English as Gaunt. When he became unpopular later in life, scurrilous rumours and lampoons circulated that he was actually the son of a Ghent butcher, perhaps because Edward III was not present at the birth. This story always drove him to fury. John was the fourth son of King Edward III of England. His first wife, Blanche of Lancaster, was also his third cousin; both were great-great-grandchildren of King Henry III.	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.

842	I17569	GIFFARD	John	1301	Aft 5 Jan 1369	0	Sir John Gifford, born around 1301, was a prominent figure in 14th-century England. He was the son of Sir John Gifford of Twyford, Buckinghamshire, and his wife, Alexandra. John Gifford's life was characterized by his active involvement in military and political affairs of the time. He inherited the family estates upon his father's death, which included Twyford in Buckinghamshire, amongst others. This inheritance not only brought wealth but also responsibilities and opportunities for greater involvement in the affairs of the realm. In 1338, during the Hundred Years' War between England and France, Gifford was tasked with assembling a military contingent from Buckinghamshire. This contingent included 10 men-at-arms, 20 armed men, and 40 archers, a significant force indicating his standing and influence in the county. His military role continued as he accompanied King Edward III to France, participating in the King's division at the Battle of Crécy in 1346, a pivotal battle where the English longbowmen played a decisive role. Gifford's service extended beyond the battlefield. He was appointed as a commissioner of the peace in Buckinghamshire in 1349, 1351, and 1361, a role that involved maintaining law and order in the county. His responsibilities grew as he was named one of the commissioners of array in Buckinghamshire for the French War on 14 March 1360. This position involved organizing and equipping troops for military service, a crucial task during the ongoing conflict with France. In 1368, Gifford, alongside Reynold de Grey of Ruthyn, was again appointed as a commissioner of array. This repeated appointment underscores his continued importance in military matters and his reliability as a royal servant. Sir John Gifford's life reflects the typical career of a knight in medieval England, where military service, land management, and local governance were intertwined. His involvement in key historical events like the Battle of Crécy and his various administrative roles highlight his significance in the political and military landscape of 14th-century England.	tree1

The jurors reported that Sir Thomas Giffard, a knight, owned half of a property called Jardynes in Leisdon, Isle of Sheppey. This property was held directly from the King and was valued at 10 shillings annually. Sir Thomas Giffard passed away on September 25, 1394. His son and heir, Roger Giffard, was over 26 years old. Inquisition in Burcestre, Oxford (1394): Another inquisition took place in Burcestre, Oxford, on the Monday before November 11, 1394. The jurors stated that Sir Thomas Giffard held half of the manor of Somerton from the King, valued at nearly 20 marks. He also jointly held with his wife Sybil (who was still alive) half of the manor of Firyngford, valued at 12 marks annually. Additionally, he owned properties in Bekbrok and Newenton Jewell, valued at 5 and 7 marks yearly, respectively. Sir Thomas died on September 29, 1394, and his son Roger was his next heir, aged over 27 years. Inquisition in Hertaye by Faversham, Kent (1360): An inquisition in Hertaye by Faversham, Kent, on December 29, 1360, discussed a proposal for John Giffard to transfer a 5-mark rent in Leisdon to his son Thomas and Elizabeth de Musenden, with future rights to John's heirs. This rent was part of the barony of Arsyk and held from the King. Inquisitions in Ixning, Suffolk, and Oxford (1360): Similar inquisitions in Ixning, Suffolk, and Oxford in December 1360, addressed John Giffard's assignments of the manor of Ixning and his properties in Somerton and Feringford, Oxfordshire, to his son Thomas and others, with various conditions for inheritance and rights. Inquisition in Dadyngton, Oxford (1367/8): An inquisition in Dadyngton, Oxford, on January 4, 1367/8, discussed granting John Gifford permission to transfer lands in Feryngford and part of the manor of Feringford to Thomas Giffard and Margery his wife. These lands were held from the King and were part of a knight's fee. John Gifford also held other properties in Somerton. These inquisitions provide a detailed account of the land holdings and familial relationships of the Giffard family in the 14th century, reflecting the complex system of land tenure and inheritance during that period.	tree1

848	I2203	GILMAN	Colonel Nicholas	21 Oct 1731	7 Apr 1783	0	Copied from http://www.seacoastnh.com/Famous-People/Framers-of-Freedom/The-Gilmans-of-Exeter/ During the time of the Revolution, there was one branch of the Gilman family of particular prominence -- the Nicholas Gilmans. At the onset of the Revolution in 1775, Col. Nicholas Gilman was 44 years old, married and the father of eight children. Sons John Taylor Gilman, 22, and Nicholas, 20, were active in various services of the war. Nathaniel, 16, remained at home to help his father. In later years, these three sons would become important to the state in their own right. The Gilman home, purchased from Nathaniel Ladd in 1752 and enlarged, became the state treasury when Nicholas was appointed treasurer in 1775 by the provincial government. It was here that bills were paid, currency signed to make it legal tender, and receipts kept in a black iron chest. This ponderous strongbox with its huge key remains in the same room today. Nicholas had been a shipbuilder and merchant before the trials of the emerging new government demanded use of his financial ability. Called the "Brains of the Revolution in New Hampshire," he had chief responsibility for fiscal matters within the state. Although he was in command of the Fourth Regiment of the New Hampshire militia and was at Saratoga in 1777, he took no recorded part in any of the military encounters during this time. His most important duty was serving as Meschech Weare's "right arm" in the civil government of New Hampshire. Nicholas and Ann Gilman lived to see the end of the war, but died within three weeks of each other in the spring of 1783. After the alarm of Lexington and Concord, Nicholas' oldest son, John Taylor Gilman, hurried with other Exeter patriots to Cambridge. Although caught up in the Revolutionary fervor of the day, he found time to woo and win the "Belle of Exeter," Deborah Folsom, Nathaniel Folsom's daughter, whom he married on June 13, 1776. When the Declaration of Independence arrived in Exeter the 16th of July, John Taylor Gilman was selected to read it to the townspeople from the steps of the town house. The following year John, as state pension agent, compiled registration lists of all the disabled soldiers and certified that they were entitled to aid. He represented New Hampshire at the Continental Congress for one term and became treasurer of the state upon his father's death in 1783. He was elected governor as a Federalist in 1794 and held that post intermittently for a total of 14 years, the longest any man has held this office since Colonial times. He died in 1828 at age 75. Nicholas (he never was referred to as Nicholas, Jr.), like his father and brother, quickly became one of the leaders of this era. At 20, he entered the army as captain and then became adjutant of the Third Regiment, New Hampshire line. He served only six years, joining Washington's staff in 1778 as senior deputy adjutant general. After the surrender of Lord Cornwallis at Yorktown, Gilman made an accounting of the men taken prisoners. When Nicholas was 32, he was elected with John Langdon as a delegate from New Hampshire to the Constitutional Convention of 1787. Gilman was one of the youngest of the 39 signers of the federal Constitution. His draft copy of the proposed Constitution with his marginal notes of amendments now hangs in his boyhood home, the "State Treasury." Nicholas Gilman's diligence and interest in politics were rewarded when he was elected to the House of Representatives in 1789. There he served four consecutive terms before his election as senator in 1805. He was in his second term as senator when, returning from Washington, he became seriously ill. He died a few days later--May 2, 1814--in Philadelphia. Senator Gilman had made his home with his brother, Nathaniel, and at his death left him the bulk of his estate--a gift much appreciated since Nathaniel had a large family and was known for his "generous hospitality." During the Revolutionary years, Nathaniel assumed some of the family obligations while his older brothers were away and assisted his father with the state finances. Although he is referred to as "colonel" because of his affiliation with the local militia, he never saw military action. In 1782 his father had purchased the Dr. Odlin house on Front Street in Exeter and upon his death the following year, the house became Nathaniel's property. (His oldest brother, John, fell heir to the "State Treasury ") It was here that Nathaniel brought his young bride, 17-year-old Abigail Odlin. She soon had many responsibilities: besides a growing family to look after, she had to supervise the servants who helped maintain the large farm while her husband was serving as state treasurer and financial agent of the federal government. Following the birth of their fourth child, in 1796, Abigail died at the age of 28. A few years later, Nathaniel, almost 40, married 20-year-old Deborah Folsom, Nathaniel Folsom's granddaughter, and the family was increased by seven children. Nathaniel never entered public life as extensively as his older brother had, but he did serve his community as a member of the House of Representatives for one term, and twice as senator. He was elected to important town offices and was a leader in various public enterprises. On January 26, 1847, Nathaniel, almost 88 years old, died at home.	tree1

856	I2005	GILMAN	John	10 Jan 1624	24 Jul 1708	0	Hon John 4 Gilman. Councillor. From the New England family History John 1 Gilman, the second son of Edward 3Gilman, Sr., was born in Hingham, Norfolk, England, Janu- ary 10th, 1624, and was there baptized 23 May, 1626. came to Exeter before 1650, and immediately became a prominent citizen. From the first he was concerned with his brother Edward in mills and lumber. After Edward was lost at sea in 1653, he inherited much of the latters' property, and took his place in devel- oping the resources of the town. He was chosen se- lectman more than one-half the years between 1650 and 1680: was repeatedly elected commissioner to end small causes ; and appointed upon committees to care for the town's interests. He had several handsome grants of land from the town, and a special right of a gristmill. In the two years before New Hamp- shire was emancipated from the Massachusetts gov- ernment he held the office of associate (judge) of the old Norfolk county court. In 1680 Mr. Gilman was made a councillor of the newly erected province of New Hampshire, and in 1682 a judge of the Court of Pleas; but in 1683 he was by Governor Cranfield relieved of both offices. "At last, after a struggle of many years' duration, the union of the two colonies was dissolved by order of the king. New Hampshire was erected into a royal province, under a president and six councilors, with It is needless to say that his reputation in theprovince did not suffer by reason of his removal. In 1693 he was chosen by his townsmen a delegate to the Assem- bly, and was made Speaker of the House, and again chosen in 1697. He married, June 30th. 1657, Elizabeth, daughter of James Treworgy (sec) (from which came the popular Christian name ofTrueworthy), and had six sons and ten daughters, and very numerous descen- dants. He built the "log house" oppositethe Great Bridge, which is still standing. He died July 24th, 1708, (C. H. Bell, History of Exeter. X. H, 1888.) The oldest house in town is undoubtedly that on the northerly corner of Water and Clifford Streets, now owned by Manly W. Darling. It was built by Councillor John Oilman. He was living in it in 1676, and there is ground for the belief that it dates back to 1658. It was constructed of square logs, the upper story projected a foot or more beyond the lower and the windows were scarcely more than loopholes. It was thus completely adapted for the defence of its in- mates against the attacks of savages, and is known as a "garrison house." (Picture opp. p. 530.) an assembly of eleven deputies. The commission was scaled 18 September. 1679. Guns were fired here upon receipt of the tidings. John Cutt was appointed president; Martyn, Vaughan and Daniel of Ports- mouth. GUman of Exeter, Hussey of Hampton, and Waldron of Dover were named as the council. Sin- gular to state, they were every one a firm friend of the Bay Colony. President Cutt lived but a year after taking office. Waldron succeeded him for a short term, when there came upon the stage one of the most restless, strong-willed and zealous representatives of royal authority that ever crossed the Atlantic." ( Ad- dress of F. W. Hackett at 200th Anniversary of the town of New Castle, N. II.. 1803.) 536 The original structure was small, and constitutes the main body of the present house. No doubt ad- ditions must have been soon made to it, for the first occupant had sixteen children, all but four of whom lived to maturity. The wing which protrudes towards the street was a much later apendage. In this wooden castle lived Councillor Gilman till his death in 1708. The place after 178S went into the possession of Ebenezer Clifford, whoremoved from Kensington to Exeter about that time. (Bell's Exeter.) The children of Hon.

866	I7722	GOOCH	Frances	Bef 1618	1669	0	My notes: On this URL, the author has faithfully numbered his sources which he lists at the bottom of the page: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~mainegenie/DONNELL.htm "The names Henry Donnell and George Jewell are in the church and borough records of Barnstable, Devon from 1631 until 1634 Henry being a litigant in the Court of Sessions(1)" "In his deposition of 25 Aug. 1676 Henry Donnell suggests that he was in New England in 1631, apparently on a fishing voyage with George Jewell. His deposition of 21 Mar. 1683 shows that he was in York in 1635 or 1636." "Henry was at first a fisherman at one time in partnership with Sampson Angier,(2) later he was also an innkeeper. He lived on the road leading from York St. in the Harbor to Stage Neck which he possessed and used as a fishing stage for many years.(3) The road led to the ferry from the neck (then Stage Island) across the York River to Raynes Neck or Seabury Bank. It is probable that Henry had the ferry across the river. No record substantiates this but, it is an obvious inference as it cannot be admitted that such a convenience did not exist in the twenty years before the granting of the first recorded license. It was the natural location for ferriage being the narrowest part of the river and the establishment of a tavern at that point strengthens this opinion although the taverner may have maintained it for business reasons until the town took formal action.(4) Henry kept the tavern there. How early he combined his trade of fisherman with innkeeping is not known but, he was here as early as 1641 and probably catered to transient fishermen and travelers soon after. In 1649 his name is found in a list of those paying the excise tax for drawing liquor. He was charged with two pipes or butts of wine and 54 gallons of "licquers" an amount equal to Wardwell the taverner of Wells and greater than the tax for the widow Puddington's tavern in York.(5) Henry also had a fishery on Bragdon's Island.(6) He witnessed William Hooke's deed 18 Oct. 1644." "For some 18 years before King Phillip's War Henry lived and carried on a fishing enterprise at Jewell's Island in Casco Bay which he acquired a few years after Jewell's death in 1638 while his wife carried on the inn at York. On 6 Dec. 1664 he morgaged his houses, lands, fish houses, etc. as security for a contract to deliver a quantity of fish. The court records show that Frances and Henry were living apart prior to 1667 and she was authorized to retain for her own use what she had made by her own industry, she having a tavern license in 1669. This was about the time of Nicholas Davis' death and as they were next-door neighbors she may have assumed the management of his old inn.(7) In 1671 Frances furnished two barrels of beer for the county courts. On 2 Apr. 1660 Frances and her daughters Sarah and Margaret received a deed of land from the widow Ann Godfrey "for love and affection". In 1676 Henry was again an innkeeper in York." "On 29 Feb. 1671/2 being "stricken in years, and not capeable of manageing my fishing and my Island" Henry gave his Jewells Island land with his fishing plant to his son Joseph on the condition that he should have his maintenance there "So long as I please to continue with him there."(8)" "Henry appears among the jurors in 1650 and in 1653, and on the grand jury in 1651 and 1660. He was a selectman in 1661, 1666, 1673, 1677-9, and in 1683." "Henry took the oath of allegience to Massachusetts 22 Nov. 1652." "He, along with many others, was not satisfied with the division of Godfrey's land and they signed a petition to the general court in Boston stating their view. However, the awards were never changed.(10)" "Henry was evidently satisfied with the Massachusetts government as he did sign the petition to Cromwell which referred to the complaints presented to the Protector by "some gentlemen of worth" (i.e. Godfrey) for restitution of their right of jurisdiction and asked that they be not heeded, intimating that they are instigated by "professed Royalists whose breathings that way... have been so farre stifled."(11) His son Thomas did not sign this petition. However, both Henry and Thomas signed the "govern or get out" petition which was an indictment of incompetency with a notice that they would expect "due & seasonable performance" of Massachusetts' obligations to maintain law and order: "Your tollerating such an inconsiderate number of opposers frequently to violate & trample upon yr authority & laws, as cannot be altogether unknowne to you, to the obstruction of Justice, infringeing our Lybertys, deviding our peace and if not speedily prevented by your Worships, may as the case stands, snarl us in the bonds of Inextricable & prejudiciall Injuries, upon whom, under God, & our dread sovereigne wee looke att our selves Ingaged att present to depend for our security & releife."(12)" "Henry gave a deposition concerning John Pullman's estate 24 Sept. 1680.(13)" "Last mention of Henry in public records was made in 1687 but, the inventory of his estate was not made until 25 April 1693.(14)" --------------------------------------------- Genealogical Dictionary of Maine and New Hampshire (G.D.M.N.H.) Authors: Sybil Noyes, Charles Thornton Libby, Walter Goodwin Davis Publication: Portland, ME: Southward Press, 1928, page 199 "The names Henry Donnell and Geo. Jewell are in the church and borough records of Barnstable, co. Devon, 1631-4." "HENRY, b. ab. 1602-08" and he was first mentioned in 1641 but when he gave a deposition about Thomas Bradbury on 21 March, 1682-3, he stated that he was about 78 years old and that "47 or 48 years ago" he'd been in York, which was in about 1635-6. When Henry deposed on 25 August, 1676 (age 68, he said), his statement made it sound as if he had been in Maine, "at least on a fishing trip" in about 1631. "See Thomas Brooks." My notes: On page 112 of G.D.M.N.H., Thomas Brooks was a man who used an alias at times, "Basil Parker." Why? No one seems to know. In 1610, a Basil Parker was adm. (administrator or admitted?) "to comp(any) of haberdashers, London.....who was likely the same B.P., haberda(sher). of St. Gregory's by St. Paul's m(arried) 2 Feb. 1610-11 to Anne Saville." A Basil Brooks (now it's Brooks rather than Parker) sailed on the same ship with Henry "Dunnell" in 1635. Thomas Brooks first appeared at Saco court on 25 June, 1640, but as Basil Parker he witnessed deeds in 16443-1646. He was a Recorder from 1647 to his death and a Councillor in 1650-51. He owned property in partnership with Peter Weare (Henry's son-in-law) and died (apparently) at Gunnison's tavern, leaving records in Gunnison's trust. The administration of his property in 1651 was given to Mr. John Alcock, "with whom and his wife he was several times a wit(ness)." "Henry was an "early fisherman, later innkeeper at the Stage Isl. ferry, his w(ife) ran the inn while he lived at Jewell's Isl. in Casco Bay, where he made fish 16 or 18 yrs. until Philip's War (his s(on) Samuel said near 30 yrs. and that he bot the island of the Ind.; he mortg. it in 1644)." "At York, in 1676, Henry was an innkeeper again but in 1678 he was selling without a license. In 1686-87, he was licensed again. Henry was on the jury in 1650 and 1653 and on the Grand Jury in 1651, 1660. He was elected as a selectman in 1661, 1667, 1673, 1677-79, 1683. The last mention of Henry was in June 1687. An inventory of his estate wasn't completed until 25 Apr. 1693, "after the massacre." Henry's name showed up on several "Lists" and even though I don't understand what all of them were, I'll list them here as they're shown in G.D.M.N.H. List 272 - "Twenty-Seven owners of the Patent - 2 Me. Hist. Coll(ection) 323-325" List 275 - "An Imperfect List of the Inhabitants of York, made up in advance of their submission to Mass. - Mass. Arch. iii 193" List 277 - "Protest by the Inhabitants (of York) against the decision of the Mass. commissioners in favor of Mr. Godfrey, presented 21 Oct. 1654." Henry "Dunnell" and Peter Weare were two of the men who signed this list. List 285 - "Creditors of Robert Weymouth's estate, 1663 - York Court Records "Hene: Donnell" was one of the men on the list. List 24 - "Petition to the Lord Protector, 1657." That would be Oliver Cromwell. List 25 - "Petition from Maine, except Saco and Scarborough, for Mass. to use force, not merely declarative acts, to protect the inhabitants against a pretended power of Esq.

His wife disposed of this island with the premises at Rogers' Cove to Sampson Anger and Henry Donnell, fishermen, before 1659." "DIVISION OF LAND ON THE EAST BANK" (of the York River) "June 11, 1641, the eastern bank of York River had been apportioned as far upriver as Gorges, now known as Cider Mill Creek. The entire tract was three miles wide, and extended inland for six miles. The final division, made the same year, mentioned only the dwellings of Henry Donnell, at Lobster Cove, Henry Lynn, on the south side of Gorges Creek, and the farmhouse of William Hook, in Scotland Parish." At Lobster Cove, next to "Farmer Alcock's Neck" on the eastern bank of the York River at York Harbor, was Henry's home and "fishing establishment." Henry stated that he had been living in that area in 1631. p. 232 "Jewell's Island contains about 100 acres and lies on the outer rim of the Casco archipelago. The first known occupant was George Jewell who found it a safe and convenient fishing port. It was provided with stages and flakes. A mariner who gave his name to the northern sound was George Luxon, a fishing master from Barnstable. Before 1660 the place was utilized by Henry Donnell, the veteran fisherman of York." ------------------------------------------ http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=nhfirstsettlers&id=I11526 Early fisherman, later innkeeper at the Stage Island ferry, his wife ran the inn while he lived at Jewell's Island in Casco Bay, where he made fish 16 or 18 years until Philip's War (his son Samuel said near 30 years and that he bought the island of the Indians; he mortgaged it in 1644).

867	I7722	GOOCH	Frances	Bef 1618	1669	0	In the early 17th century, Henry Donnell emerged from the church and borough records of Barnstable, Devon, as a man embroiled in legal disputes. By 1631, his name, alongside George Jewell's, became a fixture in these records. Little did he know that his life would soon intertwine with the vast landscapes of New England and the bustling life of a fisherman and innkeeper. Henry's journey to New England likely began around 1631, possibly on a fishing voyage with George Jewell. By 1635 or 1636, he found himself in York, Maine, a world away from his English roots. Here, Henry transitioned from a fisherman, at times partnering with Sampson Angier, to an innkeeper, a role that would define much of his life in the New World. His inn, strategically located on the road from York Street to Stage Neck, became a hub for transient fishermen and travelers. By 1649, Henry was recognized in the community, paying an excise tax for drawing liquor, a testament to the bustling nature of his establishment. His entrepreneurial spirit also led him to establish a fishery on Bragdon's Island. For about 18 years, Henry lived and managed a fishing enterprise on Jewell's Island in Casco Bay, which he acquired shortly after Jewell's death in 1638. Meanwhile, his wife, Frances, adeptly ran the inn back in York. Their partnership was a blend of business acumen and resilience, with Frances even taking over the management of a neighboring inn at one point. The couple's life was not without its challenges. Court records indicate that Henry and Frances lived apart prior to 1667, with Frances authorized to retain earnings from her own industrious management of the inn. In 1671, she was noted for furnishing beer for the county courts, further highlighting her role in the community. Henry's life was deeply intertwined with the community of York. He served as a juror and selectman multiple times, reflecting his standing in the town. His oath of allegiance to Massachusetts in 1652 marked his commitment to his new homeland. Despite the challenges, including disagreements over land divisions and the turbulent times of King Philip's War, Henry and Frances carved out a life of significance in early American history. Their story, from the records of Barnstable to the shores of Maine, paints a vivid picture of resilience, adaptability, and the pursuit of opportunity in a new world.	tree1
868	I19853	GOOCH	John	Abt 1600	Aft 7 May 1667	0	John and Ruth (Hammond) Gooch, originally from Slymbridge, Gloucestershire, England, were married in 1622. They had five children, all born in Slymbridge, Gloucestershire. Seeking new opportunities, the family emigrated to New England by 1639, settling on "Gooch's Neck" on the northeast shore of the Cape Neddick River, in what is now present-day Maine. John also owned property near the Meeting House and at the Little River. On 19 June 1640 he headed a committee for settling the government in York/Agamenticus. Around 1641, the Gooch family became embroiled in a scandal. Court records from York, Maine, reveal that Ruth Gooch was involved in an affair with George Burdett, a Puritan minister known for his controversial lifestyle and conflicts with the Massachusetts Bay authorities. The court fined Burdett £20 for "deflowering Ruth, wife of John Gooch of Agamenticus," and Ruth was found guilty of adultery. Her punishment, as per the court's decision, was to stand publicly in a white sheet, without other clothing, in the congregation at Agamenticus on two Sabbath days and one day at the General Court. A witness claimed to have heard John Gooch express a desire to shoot Mr. Burdett, though Ruth reportedly dissuaded him. Specifically, the court record reads: "For deflowering Ruth, wife of John Gooch of Agamenticus aforesaid," George Burdett was fined £20. The wife, Ruth, was found guilty "By the Grand Inquest, of adultery with Mr. George Burdett" and "is censured by this court, that six weeks after she is delivered of child, she shall stand in a white sheet, without other clothing, publickly in the congregation at Agamenticus two several sabbath days, and likewise one day at this General Court when she shall be thereunto called by one or all of the counsellors of this Province, according to his Majesty's laws in that case provided." A witness in the case testified that he heard "John Gouch say that he was minded to shoote Mr. Burdett, but that his wife persuaded him to the contrary, and he thought that John Gouch carryed a pistoll in his pockett to shoote Mr. Burdett." The mentioned child was never born. Considering that it is estimated that Ruth was born in 1600, she would have been 40 or 41 at this time, rather old for childbirth, so perhaps she lost it. In 1655, John and Ruth had moved permanently to Wells, Maine. It is possible that they were distancing themselves from this scandal. Despite this tumultuous period, Ruth and John continued to live together until John's death sometime after May 7, 1667 when he made his will. As for Rev. George Burdett, apart from the incident with Ruth Gooch and at approximately the same time, he fathered a child with Mary, the wife of George Puddington. The child's name was Sarah, born in1641. Correspondence from Thomas Gorges to John Winthrop describes Burdett's reprehensible behavior, and by 1641, Burdett left for England, eventually settling in Ireland where he spent the rest of his life. Interestingly, John and Ruth's daughter Ruth died in 1664 and her husband Peter Weare married as his second wide Mary Puddington, a daughter of George and Mary Puddington.	tree1
869	I8463	GOODWIN	Daniel	Apr 1620	16 Mar 1712	0	Born in April 1620 in Yoxford, Suffolk, England, Daniel's life was a tapestry of various roles and responsibilities that shaped the early American colonial experience. Daniel arrived in Kittery around 1652, a time when the area was evolving from a rugged wilderness into a structured settlement. He quickly established himself as a man of many talents and trades. Not only was he a surveyor, mapping out the lands that would form the backbone of the community, but he also became an innkeeper, providing a gathering place for the settlers and travelers. His inn was more than just a place of rest; it was a hub of social and political activity, albeit sometimes the center of "disturbances" that brought him into the local court's attention. In his personal life, Daniel was first married to Margaret Spencer, daughter of Thomas and Patience (Chadbourne) Spencer, linking him to some of the area's most influential families. Margaret, a descendant of William Chadbourne, brought with her a connection to the early settlers who played a pivotal role in developing South Berwick. Together, Daniel and Margaret had a large family, with children who continued to contribute to the community's growth. Their children, Daniel, James, Thomas, William, Moses, Patience, Elizabeth, and Sarah, each wove their threads into the fabric of Kittery's history. After Margaret's passing, Daniel married Sarah Sanders, the widow of Peter Turbet, further extending his family and influence. Professionally, Daniel was a man of the community. He served as a town commissioner, constable, sergeant, and on various juries, including a coroner's and grand jury. His involvement in local governance was a testament to his commitment to the community's welfare and order. Daniel's contributions to the area were not limited to his professional roles. He was one of the founders of the church in South Berwick in 1702, marking his influence in the spiritual life of the community. His role in the church's establishment underscored the importance of faith and communal gathering in the early colonial period. As a large landed proprietor, Daniel played a significant role in shaping the physical landscape of South Berwick. He received his initial land grant in 1654 and, over the years, acquired more, which he eventually distributed among his sons, ensuring his legacy would continue through his family. In his later years, Daniel deeded the homestead to his son Thomas, ensuring his and his wife's care. He passed away before March 16, 1713, in Kittery, leaving behind a legacy as a foundational figure in the early American colonial narrative. His burial in South Berwick, York County, Maine, marked the end of an era for one of the area's most influential pioneers.	tree1

The Anglican Communion venerates him as a Christian hero, with a feast day or commemoration on 26 October, and he may often be found depicted in stained glass in Church of England parish churches. Alfred commissioned Bishop Asser to write his biography, which inevitably emphasised Alfred's positive aspects. Later medieval historians, such as Geoffrey of Monmouth also reinforced Alfred's favourable image. By the time of the Reformation Alfred was seen as being a pious Christian ruler, who promoted the use of English rather than Latin, and so the translations that he commissioned were viewed as untainted by the later Roman Catholic influences of the Normans. Consequently, it was writers of the sixteenth century who gave Alfred his epithet as 'the Great', rather than any of Alfred's contemporaries.The epithet was retained by succeeding generations of Parliamentarians and empire-builders who saw Alfred's patriotism, success against barbarism, promotion of education and establishment of the rule of law as supporting their own ideals. Alfred successfully defended his kingdom against the Viking attempt at conquest, and by the time of his death had become the dominant ruler in England. Alfred had a reputation as a learned and merciful man of a gracious and level-headed nature who encouraged education, proposing that primary education be taught in English, and improved his kingdom's legal system, military structure and his people's quality of life. In 2002, Alfred was ranked number 14 in the BBC's poll of the 100 Greatest Britons.	tree1

Preferring to work from behind the throne, he instead suggested the accession of Louis IV, son of the deposed Charles III the Simple, who named him, in return, “duke of the Franks.”	tree1

880	I7221	GRESLEY	Thomas	1367	1455	0	Sir Thomas Gresley, a name synonymous with wealth and influence in 14th-century Derbyshire, stood as a testament to the power of land and lineage. He was the fortunate heir to the estates of his paternal grandfather, Sir John, and the extensive properties of his mother, Thomasina Wastneys. The Gresleys, originally centered around Drakelow, Linton, Lullington, and Gresley in Derbyshire, expanded their reach through strategic marriages into the Wastneys family, acquiring manors across Staffordshire, Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Yorkshire. Before his death around 1395, Sir John Gresley entrusted all his estates to his grandson. Thomasina, passing away by July 1405, left her land to Sir Thomas, who then transferred it to a group of distinguished feoffees, including Thomas Langley, the Bishop of Durham and Chancellor of England. Sir Thomas's wife, Margaret, though not an heiress, significantly boosted his annual income. Sir Thomas's wealth continued to grow, and by 1436, he was taxed on landed revenues of £200 a year, a conservative estimate given that his Derbyshire property alone was valued at £65 per annum in 1412. He held the right of presentation to the Augustinian priory at Gresley and the parish church of Dalbury in Derbyshire. Little is known of Gresley's early life, which was relatively uneventful. However, he later became embroiled in a bitter dispute with the abbot of Burton on Trent, leading to legal interventions and mutual sureties for good behavior. Gresley's influence extended to his return to six Parliaments as a knight of the shire and his frequent appointments to royal commissions. He was a sought-after feoffee-to-uses and arbitrator in private disputes, despite his own disdain for the law. Gresley's social standing was further enhanced by the marriages he arranged for his children. His elder son married Elizabeth Clarell, his daughters married into prominent families, and his son Sir John prospered under the patronage of John, Duke of Bedford. Sir Thomas's service to the Crown included an annuity from the Duchy of Lancaster and participation in the 1415 French expedition. He also held administrative roles on the duchy's estates and faced occasional legal challenges, including an inquiry into his management of the Walsh estates. In his later years, Gresley retired from public life, possibly influenced by controversies surrounding electoral procedures. Despite these issues, he remained a popular arbitrator and litigant. He passed away in September 1445, leaving his estates to his elder son, who only outlived him by five years. Sir Thomas Gresley's life, marked by land acquisition, family alliances, and occasional legal skirmishes, paints a vivid picture of the life of a medieval English nobleman.	tree1

889	I20289	GUYON	Barbe	18 Apr 1617	29 Nov 1700	0	Pierre Paradis, born on July 18, 1604, and baptized two days later in Notre-Dame de Mortagne, Perche, France, was the son of Jacques Paradis and Michelle Pesle. He grew up to become a skilled cutler and gunsmith, trades that would serve him well in both the Old and New Worlds. Barbe Guyon, baptized on April 19, 1617, in Saint-Jean de Mortagne, was the eldest daughter of Jean Guyon du Buisson and Mathurine Robin dite Boulé. Her godparents were Jean Pousset and Barbe, wife of Nicolas Poulard, sieur des Portes, from whom she received her name. On February 11, 1632, in the parish of Notre-Dame de Mortagne, 27-year-old Pierre Paradis and 14-year-old Barbe Guyon entered into a marriage contract. The ceremony likely took place shortly after. This union, arranged when Barbe was so young, was not uncommon for the time and reflected the social norms and practical considerations of 17th-century France. Barbe's trousseau, as detailed in the marriage contract, provides a glimpse into the material culture of the time. It included linens, furniture, kitchenware, and a modest sum of money, all of which would help the young couple establish their household. Pierre, for his part, was granted the use of tools and equipment for his trade for six years, enabling him to continue his work as a cutler and gunsmith. The couple initially lived in Mortagne, first in Notre Dame (1634) and later in Ste. Croix (1643). They had eight children while in France. On March 20, 1651, they sold their property in Saint Croix, signaling their intention to embark on a new life across the Atlantic. Pierre, Barbe, and their five children (Marie, Jacques, Pierre, Jean, and Guillaume) arrived in New France in 1652, joining Barbe's family who had immigrated earlier. They settled in Beauport, where Barbe's father, Jean Guyon, had been granted the fief Du Buisson. Here, Pierre continued his trade as a cutler while also engaging in farming. The 1667 census shows that he owned eight head of cattle and had 12 arpents under cultivation. In New France, Pierre and Barbe had four more children, bringing their total to twelve. Their family became well-established in the colony, with their children marrying into other prominent settler families and spreading across the region. Pierre Paradis made his will on May 28, 1670, while ill at the Hôtel-Dieu in Quebec. He passed away on January 29, 1675, at the age of 71, and was buried the following day in the church of Saint-Pierre on Île d'Orléans. His burial in the church, rather than the pauper's cemetery he had requested in his will, suggests he had achieved a certain status in the community. After Pierre's death, Barbe moved to live with her son-in-law, Guillaume Baucher dit Morency, at Sainte-Famille, Île d'Orléans. She survived her husband by many years, passing away suddenly on November 27, 1700, at the age of 83. She was buried two days later in Saint-Pierre, Île d'Orléans.	tree1
890	I13703	GUYON	Jean	18 Sep 1592	30 May 1663	0	HIGHLIGHTS: Jean was a master mason and before emigrating worked on notable projects such as the staircase in the Saint-Aubin de Tourouvre church steeple and the restoration of Mortagne's fortifications. Once in Quebec, he contributed to the construction of a small mill, Giffard's seigneurial manor, the governor's residence (Fort Saint-Louis), and the parish church of Notre Dame de Québec. Jean and Mathurine had 14 children, with 10 surviving to adulthood. By 1729, just a century after their arrival, the couple had 2,150 North American descendants. This number has since grown exponentially, with an estimated 123,800 descendants by the early 21st century. CONNECTIONS: Jean Guyon is Michelle's 11th and 12th GGF through two branches originating on the Laviolette line and Jim's 10th GGF on 3 lines through the Vermette/Gilbert branch. LIFE STORY: Jean Guyon du Buisson, baptized on September 18, 1592, in Tourouvre, Perche, France, was a key figure in the early settlement of New France. Born to Jacques Guyon and Marie Huet, Jean honed his skills as a master mason in France, contributing to notable projects such as the staircase in the Saint-Aubin de Tourouvre church steeple and the restoration of Mortagne's fortifications. On June 2, 1615, Jean married Mathurine Robin dite Boulé. The couple had 14 children, with 10 surviving to adulthood: Barbe, Jean Jr., Simon, two daughters named Marie, Claude, Denis, Michel, Noël, and François. In 1634, Jean Guyon's life took a significant turn when he signed a three-year contract with Robert Giffard de Moncel, agreeing to settle in New France. As part of this agreement, Guyon was granted a one-thousand-arpent arrière-fief in Beauport, near the Rivière du Buisson. This land grant would later give rise to his title "du Buisson." Guyon arrived in New France in 1634, though accounts differ on whether he came alone or with his family. He was part of a group of French pioneers that included his friend Zacharie Cloutier, Marin Boucher, and others who would form the core of the early French-Canadian community. In New France, Guyon's skills as a master mason were put to good use. He contributed to the construction of a small mill, Giffard's seigneurial manor, the governor's residence (Fort Saint-Louis), and the parish church of Notre Dame de Québec. These projects were often undertaken alongside his friend and fellow settler, Zacharie Cloutier. Guyon's relationship with the seigneurial system was not without conflict. He and Cloutier engaged in a nine-year dispute with Giffard over seigneurial rights, refusing to pay annual taxes or perform the traditional "foi et hommage" (faith and homage) ceremony. This resistance to feudal obligations was a common theme in early New France, eventually requiring intervention from the colonial governor. Jean Guyon's legacy in New France was significantly enhanced through his children's marriages and descendants. His eldest son, Jean Jr., became a royal surveyor and married Élisabeth Couillard, connecting the Guyon family to some of the most prominent early settlers of New France. The Guyon family tree has since grown extensively. By the end of the 19th century, Jean Guyon had 9,674 married descendants, making him one of the most prolific ancestors in French-Canadian genealogy. Today, it's estimated that about three out of four Québécois can trace their lineage back to Jean Guyon. His descendants are known by various surnames, including Dion, Despres, Dumontier, and Lemoine. Interestingly, genetic studies have traced cases of Friedreich's ataxia, a rare inherited disease, through 12 generations of French-Canadians back to Jean Guyon and Mathurine Robin, highlighting the far-reaching impact of early settlers on the genetic makeup of the French-Canadian population. Jean Guyon died on May 30, 1663, in Château-Richer, New France. His life and legacy exemplify the challenges and triumphs of the early French settlers in Canada, and his descendants continue to play significant roles in French-Canadian and North American society.	tree1

892	I6323	GUYON	Marie Madeline	18 Mar 1624	29 Aug 1696	0	François Bélanger was born in 1612 in Normandy, France. He was baptized on October 7, 1612, in the parish of Saint-Pierre-de-Séez. His parents were François Bellanger and Françoise Horlays. In 1634, François immigrated to New France (now Quebec, Canada) as part of a group of settlers that included Robert Giffard, Jean Guyon, and Zacharie Cloutier. They arrived after a two-month sea voyage to the small settlement of Quebec. François was a mason by trade. He was better educated than many settlers, as evidenced by his confident signature on documents. On July 12, 1637, he married Marie Guyon, daughter of fellow immigrant Jean Guyon and Mathurine Robin. Marie Guyon was born around 1624 in Mortagne-au-Perche, France. She came to New France with her family in either 1634 or 1636. At the time of her marriage to François, Marie was only about 13 years old. Despite her young age, Marie proved to be a capable partner to François and mother to their children. François and Marie had twelve children together, ten of whom survived to adulthood and had families of their own. Their union represents one of the earliest families in New France, and their descendants are numerous throughout North America. In the colony, François worked hard and became prosperous. The 1667 census shows he owned 50 arpents of cultivated land and 13 animals, making him one of the wealthier colonists. He held several important positions: In 1653, he was elected mayor of the Quebec region near Longue Pointe (later Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré). From 1663 to 1677, he served as Captain of the Militia for the Beaupré coast. In 1677, Governor Frontenac granted him the Seigneurie of Bonsecours (later known as L'Islet). François was known for his strong personality. He was described as resourceful and honest, but also authoritative and prone to legal disputes. He had conflicts with neighbors, family members, and even his son-in-law over various issues. Marie, on the other hand, seems to have been a stabilizing force in the family. She managed the household and raised their large family while François pursued his various business and civic interests. In October 1685, François bequeathed his property to his son Jacques. He died sometime before April 1687. Marie outlived François by nearly a decade, passing away on September 1, 1696, at Cap-Saint-Ignace. She was about 72 years old at the time of her death.	tree1

898	I9835	HAM	William	1597	26 Jan 1673	0	William Ham ca. 1598-1673 of Portsmouth, New Hampshire I've seen in print that some people think this William Ham is the father of John Ham of Dover, but that is not true. These are two separate families. There are no records between these two men. It is just a coincidence that two men of the same surname lived so close to each other in early New Hampshire. 1. William Ham was born about 1598 and died June 1673 at Portsmouth, New Hampshire. He married at Plymouth, Devonshire, England on 22 November 1622, Honour Stephens, baptized there on 4 February 1601/2 and died after 1667, daughter of William and Mary (Woode) Stephens. William was a fisherman. William and Honour had two children: Elizabeth and Matthew.	tree1
899	I9835	HAM	William	1597	26 Jan 1673	0	William Ham, an early settler in New England, embarked on a remarkable journey that began in Plymouth, England. According to family tradition, he was of Scottish ancestry, but his path to the New World started in June 1635, when he joined a company sent out by Robert Trelawny, a merchant from Plymouth. Trelawny, who had been granted extensive lands and rights in Maine by Gorges, was looking to establish a foothold in the New World. His grant included Richmond's Island and several thousand acres on the mainland, stretching from Sperwick River to Cape Elizabeth, just below Portland. The Trelawny family, with ancestral roots in Ham or Hame in Devonshire, had a long-standing reputation. There was speculation that the Ham family might have derived their name from this place, but no concrete evidence ever surfaced to support this theory. Trelawny's first group, led by John Winter in 1632, focused on hunting, fishing, and trading with the Native Americans. William Ham arrived three years later with Nares Hawkins and others, working under a system of shares and wages. However, the new settlers, including Ham, soon found themselves in a dispute, claiming they had been cheated by Winter and Hawkins. In June 1636, disillusioned, they left Falmouth and headed westward to Portsmouth. Winter's correspondence from June 28, 1636, lists those who departed, including William Ham, Oliver Clark, John Bellin, William Freythe, and John Simmons (Simonds). By 1646, Ham had settled in Exeter. A few years later, in 1652, he received a fifty-acre land grant in Portsmouth, where he likely spent most of his subsequent years. His homestead, known as Freeman's Point or Ham's Point until 1833, was located just above the Portsmouth Bridge, on the road to Kittery, Maine. This area, known for its beautiful scenery, became the site of Ham's house, which stood for many years. He also owned Noble's Island, once called Ham's Island. In Portsmouth, Ham played an active role in the community. He was part of the first squadron in the 1653 division of inhabitants into garrisons and contributed to the minister's maintenance fund from 1658 to 1666. William Ham passed away on January 26, 1672, at the age of seventy-two. His will, proved in Exeter, bequeathed his estate to his daughter, Elizabeth Cotton, and his grandsons, the children of his son Matthew. The relationship between William Ham of Portsmouth and John Ham of Dover remains a mystery, with no clear evidence to define whether John was William's nephew, brother, or cousin. William Ham's story, from his departure from Plymouth to his life in Portsmouth, paints a vivid picture of the challenges and triumphs of an early settler in New England.	tree1
900	I9864	HAMMOND	Ruth	Abt 1600	1675	0	John and Ruth (Hammond) Gooch, originally from Slymbridge, Gloucestershire, England, were married in 1622. They had five children, all born in Slymbridge, Gloucestershire. Seeking new opportunities, the family emigrated to New England by 1639, settling on "Gooch's Neck" on the northeast shore of the Cape Neddick River, in what is now present-day Maine. John also owned property near the Meeting House and at the Little River. On 19 June 1640 he headed a committee for settling the government in York/Agamenticus. Around 1641, the Gooch family became embroiled in a scandal. Court records from York, Maine, reveal that Ruth Gooch was involved in an affair with George Burdett, a Puritan minister known for his controversial lifestyle and conflicts with the Massachusetts Bay authorities. The court fined Burdett £20 for "deflowering Ruth, wife of John Gooch of Agamenticus," and Ruth was found guilty of adultery. Her punishment, as per the court's decision, was to stand publicly in a white sheet, without other clothing, in the congregation at Agamenticus on two Sabbath days and one day at the General Court. A witness claimed to have heard John Gooch express a desire to shoot Mr. Burdett, though Ruth reportedly dissuaded him. Specifically, the court record reads: "For deflowering Ruth, wife of John Gooch of Agamenticus aforesaid," George Burdett was fined £20. The wife, Ruth, was found guilty "By the Grand Inquest, of adultery with Mr. George Burdett" and "is censured by this court, that six weeks after she is delivered of child, she shall stand in a white sheet, without other clothing, publickly in the congregation at Agamenticus two several sabbath days, and likewise one day at this General Court when she shall be thereunto called by one or all of the counsellors of this Province, according to his Majesty's laws in that case provided." A witness in the case testified that he heard "John Gouch say that he was minded to shoote Mr. Burdett, but that his wife persuaded him to the contrary, and he thought that John Gouch carryed a pistoll in his pockett to shoote Mr. Burdett." The mentioned child was never born. Considering that it is estimated that Ruth was born in 1600, she would have been 40 or 41 at this time, rather old for childbirth, so perhaps she lost it. In 1655, John and Ruth had moved permanently to Wells, Maine. It is possible that they were distancing themselves from this scandal. Despite this tumultuous period, Ruth and John continued to live together until John's death sometime after May 7, 1667 when he made his will. As for Rev. George Burdett, apart from the incident with Ruth Gooch and at approximately the same time, he fathered a child with Mary, the wife of George Puddington. The child's name was Sarah, born in1641. Correspondence from Thomas Gorges to John Winthrop describes Burdett's reprehensible behavior, and by 1641, Burdett left for England, eventually settling in Ireland where he spent the rest of his life. Interestingly, John and Ruth's daughter Ruth died in 1664 and her husband Peter Weare married as his second wide Mary Puddington, a daughter of George and Mary Puddington.	tree1
