I had written short pieces over the years but to tackle a full blown novel was a daunting prospect. Once the seed was planted I came up with a rough idea of telling the story of three siblings living somewhere in colonial America. Choosing that general locale was a natural fit for me as I’ve been a lifelong student of American history and I felt that if I was going to write a historical fiction novel, it might be prudent to choose a subject I knew a little about. I picked The French and Indian War as the starting point for what was now becoming a possible series of books that would follow the Mallory clan through the years. That war intrigued me and I saw a chance to tell the story through the eyes of the Mallory family. It also provided me with the opportunity to tell the plight of the Native Americans caught up in this conflict. The French and Indian War paved the way for the colonies to push further west into the Ohio River area. It also set the stage for the events of the 1770’s. Britain incurred a huge debt winning that war and looked to the colonies for reimbursement in the form of new taxes and tariffs. Well, we all know how those ungrateful colonists responded. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: pre;">As to the name Mallory – I have a photo hanging on my living room wall of my great grandfather, Harry Mallory. I got to know him when I was a young boy and was always glad when we visited him. He lived a good portion of his life in western Pennsylvania which is where much of Clash of Empires takes place. So, as a gesture to my forebears, Mallory became the name of the family. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: pre;"><br /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: pre;"><br /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center; text-indent: 36pt;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-c8a70394-7fff-9512-a194-038e79539f1a"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="border: none; display: inline-block; height: 147px; overflow: hidden; transform: rotate(1.57rad); width: 196px;"><img height="147" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/X42tLD1DI8KORThe7REruTYBH7V8bUZTW5autvfm9ORcvU6Gt_nKIZu-KAoQRd28kcfwwsLBkvH7DUFT11W4tI0OC1X1lWimz7jaoDtyGMolKYYD_2FyFoI3QbebvK_LFH5ErR0" style="margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;" width="196" /></span></span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;"> </p><p><b id="docs-internal-guid-24278d4a-7fff-a8ed-ecc5-ecb7424a5703" style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 24pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: pre;">Clash of Empires</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 16pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: pre;"><span style="border: none; display: inline-block; height: 476px; overflow: hidden; width: 320px;"><img height="476" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/2-NK3AJL_G-W6S-vbYkYe-HrROJNXA6AYEKGszi6xukLrdQaA0ApRadYoDm6XvbffoMA7ShW0wyNZt2VfR7iVrZy_iQHQxvhWwGkI0rEN2e7mBUzpYKRkeiKVI6bCfQz0xOB954" style="margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;" width="320" /></span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: pre;">In 1756, Britain and France are on a collision course for control of the North American continent that will turn into what can be described as the 1</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: pre;"><span style="font-size: 0.6em; vertical-align: super;">st</span></span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: pre;"> world war, known as The Seven Year’s War in Europe and The French and Indian War in the colonies. The Mallory family uproots from eastern PA and moves to the western frontier and find themselves in the middle of the war. It is a tale of the three Mallory siblings, Daniel. Liza and Liam and their involvement in the conflict; the emotional trauma of lost loved ones, the bravery they exhibit in battle situations. The story focuses on historical events, such as, the two expeditions to seize Fort Duquesne from the French and the fighting around Forts Carillon and William Henry and includes the historical characters George Washington, Generals Braddock, Forbes and Amherst. The book also includes the event known as Pontiac’s Rebellion in which the protagonists play important roles. Clash of Empires is an exciting look at the precursor to the events of July 1776; events that will be chronicled in the second book, Paths to Freedom, as I follow the exploits and fate of the Mallory clan.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: pre;"><span style="border: none; display: inline-block; height: 558px; overflow: hidden; width: 440px;"><img height="558" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/GBxiX_H2GsgLJaeuwPtl980xHHDtvMzzs8XKOKB7xavLtDLUI7jsM0q22hkFT77Ig7o8KyQjdbUCxmcyKcHO_WQgvLIi1GzLIptQHwLuCR-zRW_MJW9anfXHpPhW9irHqNhe-9I" style="margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;" width="440" /></span></span></p><p><b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /><br /></b></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 24pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: pre;">Paths to Freedom</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 16pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: pre;"><span style="border: none; display: inline-block; height: 304px; overflow: hidden; width: 202px;"><img height="304" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/x87raC8E1NAhz9RyWkfP7s4ppIV1xbrmkMENbXPbusjhSE0ITYwAyGCCsMqPkehOydBIq7eraolZvjVRKOx-oLMLVRPflTd6OisWW6s2HKTqAcoevtFWeKPLkFK2YVFXhOyIy7E" style="margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;" width="202" /></span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: pre;">In Paths to Freedom the children of the three Mallory siblings begin to make their presence known, especially Thomas, the oldest child of Liza and Henry Clarke (see right there, already another family line to follow), but Jack and Caleb, the twin sons of Liam and Rebecca along with Bowie, the son of Daniel and Deborah are beginning to get involved as well. The French and Indian War, the historical setting for book 1, was over, and the Mallory/Clarke clan is looking forward to settling and expanding their trading post village, Mallory Town, now that the frontier is at peace. And for a time they had peace, but the increasing discontent in the East, not so much toward the increasing rise in taxes, but the fact that Parliament was making these decisions without any input from the colonies, slowly made its way west to the frontier. Once again the Mallory/Clarke clan would be embroiled in another conflict.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: pre;">Another facet of my saga is that the main characters are not always together in the same place or even the same event. In Paths my characters are spread out; some have gone East, some have gone West, some are sticking close to Mallory Town, so in effect there are three stories being told, and that means more plots, subplots, twists and surprises. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: pre;">One of the aspects of the lead up to The Revolutionary War was the attempt by the British to ensure cooperation with the Native Americans, especially the Iroquois Confederation. The British had proclaimed that they would keep the colonies from encroaching on tribal lands, a strong inducement indeed. However, some tribes, like The Oneida, had established a good relationship with the colonists. I knew right away when I started book 2 that the relationship between the Mallory’s and the tribes would be part of it. Among the historical Native Americans who take part in Paths are the Shawnee Chiefs; Catecahassa (Black Hoof), Hokoleskwa (Cornstalk), Pucksinwah (father of Tecumseh), and the Mingo leader Soyechtowa (Logan).</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: pre;">I also realized that I needed to get someone to Boston, and the Sons of Liberty.

History is often overlooked, or is taught with a certain amount of nationalistic pride, whitewashing controversial events, much to the detriment of humankind. So I hope that what I write might help broaden the reader’s horizon a bit, that what they learned in school isn’t necessarily the whole story. Two main historical topics in the story of America that frequent The Mallory Saga are slavery, and the plight of the indigenous people who have lived here since before the founding of Rome; two historical topics that linger still in America’s story. Entertainment and elucidation; lofty goals for a humble scribe telling a tale.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 16pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: pre;">The Humble Scribe</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: pre;">I am a retired (recently) data center professional. Not that I started out thinking I would spend nearly 50 years working in mainframe computer environments. My major interests, scholastically, in high school, and college were history, and anthropology. The Cuban missile crisis, Bay of Pigs, assassinations, Vietnam, Watergate, etc., were some of the events that shaped me, forming the basis for my cynical view of government. One of the results of this “hippie attitude” was that I quit school, and my job, taking a year and a half off to travel a bit, and enjoy life. During that period I began composing the odd poem or song lyric, but I knew in my heart, and from experience writing school term papers, final exams, and the like, that I was a prose writer. My favorite fantasy for my future at the time was to become a forest ranger sitting in some fire watch tower writing the great American novel. Life intervened, however, and I put that dream aside to marry, and raise a family, which meant I needed to be employed, thus decades of staring at computer screens ensued. As time went on, I began writing about the golf trips I took with my buddies. At first they were humor laced travelogues, but now they are fictional tales of my friends; the golf becoming a vehicle for creating a story. Then in 2013, I started writing book reviews, and communicating with authors about the process of writing a novel. My dream to write the great American novel returned.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: pre;"><span style="border: none; display: inline-block; height: 161px; overflow: hidden; transform: rotate(4.71rad); width: 215px;"><img height="161" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/fxL3FOcPJG297iO2b2qwqbVI8OG_d3o1BGDs3QWctNA-Yrz4AvyNU0hn-Nl9tIBBvfpvcedSc7qlU6cEi_rbuRp1mRlgJQ55nYD85D2VqlC1QrSRLvTlUEPZyQgL2SyGVcFBnQU" style="margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;" width="215" /></span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: pre;">Well I hope I’ve piqued your interest in American historical fiction, and in particular The Mallory Saga.

The story is a time-slip/paranormal mystery with a strong historical fiction element. The period is split between modern day and the 1690s and the setting is Oyster River, New Hampshire. Like Blood in the Valley and Weave a Web of Witchcraft it was genealogy that led me to this story and several of my ancestors play bit parts. I hope you enjoy this sample and that I can tempt you to read more.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><div><b>First Encounter<br />7 July 2019<br />Oyster River, New Hampshire</b></div><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Thoughts of murder crossed her mind. Her fingers itched to wrap themselves around the woman’s throat, cutting off her endless stream of words. They’d catch her, she’d never get off the plane undiscovered. She’d die in jail. Might be worth it. Abbey pictured the headlines. <i>College Professor Throttles Obnoxious Seatmate On Flight From Hell</i>. Through gritted teeth, she smiled at the unsuspecting, garrulous woman beside her. The seatbelt sign dinged and flashed on. Relief flooded her mind. Thank you, Sweet Jesus. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">“Ladies and Gentlemen, we are beginning our final descent.” The now chipper attendant spieled off instructions to the turbulence weary passengers crammed aboard the long-delayed flight from Houston. “Welcome to Portsmouth International Airport.”</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Saved by the bell, hallelujah. The woman would live and Abbey spared life in prison. Good thing. Orange was her least favorite color. Abbey gathered her belongings and peered sideways at her seatmate. Poor dear. The anxiety-ridden flight brought out the worst in all of them, herself included. She took a deep breath and centered her mind, putting her brutal day behind her. The hours spent sitting on the tarmac, the stomach churning turbulence, the endless nervous chatter, it was coming to an end. Happy thoughts, happy thoughts. She glanced down at the card stuck in her book as a placeholder. An invitation, handwritten in beautiful calligraphy, on thick cream stock. She read it for the millionth time. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><i>Doctor Abigail Coote,</i></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><i>It is with immense pleasure I write to inform you that you are the recipient of the Pine Tree House Award for Academic Excellence in the field of American History. This letter entitles you to two weeks accommodation at our recognized historic home, Pine Tree House. Local excursions and access to knowledgeable historians included. All meals prepared by a world class chef. </i></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><i>Please contact us with your travel plans, ASAP, so we can prepare the house for your arrival. Congratulations and we look forward to serving you soon.</i></p><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>Miss Miriam Foss</i></div><i><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>General Manager, Pine Tree House</i></div></i></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Abbey had yet to discover the culprit who’d submitted her name for consideration. No one at the university admitted to it. Her chief suspect was Cassandra, her best friend, who knew the intimate details of Abbey’s recent tragic accident and encouraged her to leave town for a well-deserved break, so here she was, winging her way to New Hampshire. She was grateful to abandon the Texas heat and humidity for a cool New England summer. But more than that, she craved distraction from her inner turmoil. As the plane touched down, Abbey slipped the paper into her purse.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The airport was tiny and compared to Houston Hobby, easy to navigate. Abbey glanced at her watch. Four o’clock, four hours late thanks to thunderstorms and ground delays. As she wheeled her suitcase through the arrivals area, the stress of the flight dissipated, and her excitement grew. The blue-haired chatterbox, surrounded by a bevy of grandchildren, waved from across the baggage claim carousel. Abbey gave her a magnanimous salute. She couldn’t help but grin at the kids’ evident pleasure, clamoring for their Gran’s attention. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> Entering the pickup area, she spotted her name in calligraphy, held aloft on a rectangular piece of cardboard. The sight of the man holding the placard caused a pause in her step and a slight lift of an eyebrow. Tall, blond and slender, he was drop dead gorgeous. An immediate stab of guilt pierced her pleasant mood as her battered emotions fought for the higher ground. Jesus girl, get a grip, he’s a cute cab driver, you’ll never see him again. You’re allowed to look. She took a deep breath, plastered a weak smile on her face and hurried over to the sign-wielding hottie. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">“Hello there, I’m Abigail Coote.”</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The man gave her a noncommittal once over and made a slight old-fashioned bow. “Good afternoon, Doctor Coote. I hope your flight was uneventful, despite your delays.” His tone was serious, like a butler speaking to his employer. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">“It was. Thank you.” A bemused smile danced on her lips. She couldn’t tell if he was joking. Perhaps he’s an aspiring actor, practicing a part. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">He reached out and grabbed her carry-on bag, slinging the strap across his shoulder. “The car is just outside. It’s a quick drive to Pine Tree House.” He strode off in front of her but glanced back. “My name is Jeremiah.”</p><p style="text-align: justify;">He has the most beautiful blue eyes. Stop it, Abbey.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The automatic doors slid open with a pneumatic hiss; Abbey glided into a glorious New England afternoon. She lifted her face to a cloudless sky and inhaled, filling her lungs. There was a familiar briny tang to the air, not unlike the Gulf Coast, but the temperature was cool perfection. She trailed Jeremiah a short distance to a discreet black Mercedes sedan, thankful it was not a flashy stretch limo. The engine purred to life, and before she knew it they exited the compact airport and headed west. From the back seat, she caught glimpses of trees and water through the tinted glass. Her driver hummed a melodic tune under his breath. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">As the car sped across a large bridge, Jeremiah pointed to the left. “That’s Maine, just over the river. The Piscataqua. On the right, smack in the middle of the river, lies Goat Island. The finger of land that juts into Little Bay is Fox Point, named by the original settlers.” His eyes caught hers in the rear-view mirror. “We have to drive into the town of Durham to cross the Oyster River and head back in this direction.” </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Abbey nodded, half-listening to his commentary on the unfolding landscape. Traffic was light. They soon crossed a smaller bridge and turned onto a narrow tree-lined road. “Do you mind if I open the window?”</p><p style="text-align: justify;">“No, go right ahead.” </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Abbey lowered the glass halfway; the sharp scent of pine teased her nose. She rested her head against the seat and smiled in pleasure. The vehicle slowed, veering onto a gravel drive. A quarter-mile later, the car burst free of the trees and rolled to a stop some distance from a range of buildings. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">“I thought you’d like to see the house from this vantage point.” Jeremiah exited the auto and opened her door. She refused his hand as she clambered out, excited for her first view. Her jaw dropped in amazement as she beheld the rambling building. It was austere and elegant, and she fell in love on sight. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Jeremiah moved to her side. “Do you like it?”</p><p style="text-align: justify;">She glanced over at him, surprised by the pride that wreathed his handsome face. “It’s fantastic.” It occurred to her; he was not just a driver. His pleased look piqued her curiosity. “Do you work here?”</p><p style="text-align: justify;">He nodded in the affirmative. “Yes. I’m the chauffeur, chef, handyman and tour guide, rolled into one.”</p><p style="text-align: justify;">“Humph. Good to know.” Abbey stifled a wicked grin and turned to give the house her full attention. The sun, on its western descent, bathed the gray, weathered timbers in a warm light which glinted off the water in the distance. The website photos failed to do the place justice. Two chimney stacks rose from opposite ends of the house with a third stack rising from the center. The home appeared to have evolved over the centuries. Abbey watched a curtain twitch in an upstairs diamond-paned window. She glimpsed a pretty face, framed by white-blond hair, another guest perhaps.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Jeremiah stood beside her and pointed at the house. “Do you see the box-shaped portion of the house in the middle? That’s the original family home with its central chimney stack.” Two gabled additions flanked either side with a small gabled porch added to the entrance. He pivoted his arm. “To the right is a modern garage and staff house. A barn stood here centuries ago; it burned in a fire. Over there is the summer kitchen, now a store room slash garden shed. The funky building on your left is the privy, built circa 1750.”</p><p style="text-align: justify;">“A privy, what fun.” Abbey sniggered like a naughty schoolgirl. “When did you get indoor plumbing?”</p><p style="text-align: justify;">“Who said we have?” Jeremiah replied, straight-faced, as they walked towards the entrance.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Abbey, her eyes fixated on the sprawling house, stumbled on an unseen pothole but caught herself before she fell. God, how embarrassing. As she raised her head, the scene before her wavered. The wings of the house melted away, leaving the original small wooden box standing alone. A curl of smoke rose from the chimney, climbing high into the deep blue sky. A strangled cry issued from her mouth. What the hell!</p><p style="text-align: justify;">“Dr. Coote. Are you okay?” Abbey’s eyes flew over to her chauffeur, his face concerned. His hand hovered over her shoulder as if unsure if he should touch her. She blinked and shook her head; the world returned to normal. “Ah, yeah. Just a dizzy spell.” </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Marking it down to an overactive imagination, Abbey brushed off the incident and turned her attention to the view. Day lilies, in bloom, lined the walls of the outbuildings. Bright yellow flowers, bobbing in the warm breeze, softened their edges. The principal house stood unadorned as if it shunned unnecessary decorations, preferring its own stark elegance. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">As they approached the entrance, the front door opened, and a diminutive woman hurried outside, shielding her eyes from the glittering sun. A smile lit her face. “Doctor Coote, Welcome to Pine Tree House. I am Miriam Foss.”</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Abbey edged forward and shook her hand. “Hello, Miriam. I’m thrilled to be here, but please, call me Abbey. This place is spectacular. I can’t wait to see the interior.” </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Her host moved aside and waved Abbey forward. She stepped across a thick slate slab, noting the ancient oak door with hand-wrought metal fixtures. A shiver of anticipation zipped up her spine as she crossed the threshold. The entrance hall was utilitarian, the well-worn floor the same gray material. A vintage coat rack occupied most of the gloomy space. Her jaw dropped as she entered the first room. “It’s like a time machine has transported me into the past. This is amazing.”</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Miriam glowed at the praise; house proud. She paused next to the enormous hearth that filled an inside wall. “This is the oldest portion of the building, a first-period colonial house, constructed in 1658. A family of ten lived here.” She pointed up at the low-beamed ceiling, stained from centuries of smoke. “In its original state, it had a loft for storage and sleeping, the full second story came two decades later.” </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Abbey, admiring the antique furniture, ran a finger across a gleaming sideboard. A pewter vase held yellow and white wildflowers and lent a pop of vibrant color to the shadowy space. “Authentic?”</p><p style="text-align: justify;">“It’s English, produced circa 1650. I won it at auction three years ago.” Her host moved to the center of the room, hands resting on a Windsor chair. “This beauty is American made, best guess around 1725. Would you care to see the rest of the house?”</p><p style="text-align: justify;">“I’d love too.” </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Miriam glanced back towards the entrance where Jeremiah waited with quiet patience. “Jeremiah, would you deliver Dr. Coote’s luggage to her suite, please?” </p><p style="text-align: justify;">“Yes, Ma’am.” He turned and disappeared. Abbey heard his footsteps recede as he climbed an unseen staircase. She followed Miriam, who entered the adjoining room, a mirror image in size and shape to the hall. Miriam flipped a hidden switch to illuminate the sunless chamber with recessed lights.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">“This is the parlor. Here the family would display pewter dishes, silver cups, candlesticks and their finest linens. The parents slept here in the best bed, hung with the richest fabrics.”</p><p style="text-align: justify;">With a tentative hand, Abbey reached out to touch the beautiful paneled wall. The tips of her fingers grazed the mellow pine boards. At once, the room darkened, only the flickering firelight illuminated the space. There was no fire. She shivered as a ribbon of icy air enveloped her. Abbey searched the gloom for her host. The sound of weeping filled the space; her spine crawled with dread. As Abbey’s eyes adjusted to the dim light, a woman appeared, her features obscured, crouched in the corner near the hearth. Bare-headed, her blond hair clung to her sweat-soaked face. Clad in a thin linen shift, a puddle of blood spread out around her bare feet. The hair on Abbey’s arms rose, her entire body tingled. She reared back in shocked surprise and sucked in her breath. <i>Jesus Christ, what is happening</i>? ........</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><h3 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #800180;">I hope you enjoyed this short sample and want to read more.

I have maintained our information for the rich Slingsby and Mallory history and because both families have other links to the Chesebro' family.

The subject is <b>Captain Nicholas Simpkins</b>. According to his featured bio in RCA's Great Migration series, Nicholas arrived in Boston by 1635. He was from London, where he married Isabel Saule. Isabel's father was a tailor as was Nicholas. It is possible that he was an apprentice, but that is not proven. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">On the internet, Nicholas is said to be from Burcote, Northamptonshire, son of Nicholas Simpkins and Katherine Ann Harris. Katherine is said to have been from Gloucestershire. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">None of these claims are accompanied by sources. A red flag is the distance between Burcote and Gloucestershire. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Nicholas and Isabel had four children, three daughters and one son. Efam was baptised at St. Gabriel in London, the church were her parents were married. She is not mentioned further. Other children were daughters Deborah and Rebecca and son Pilgrim. </p><p><br /></p><p>Sources:</p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Open sans", serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;"><em style="box-sizing: border-box;">Great Migration 1634-1635, R-S.</em> (Online database. <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">AmericanAncestors.org.</em> New England Historic Genealogical Society, 2012.)

Two genealogies published in the late 19th/ early 20th centuries on the family offered two wills, one for a Thomas Pillsbury of Leek who died in 1622 and a William of Heaton whose will was probated in 1640. Both of these men had sons named William that were born about 1605. Heaton and Leek are only 5 miles apart and it's possible that the two were related. One nod in William's favor is that he was a husbandman and Thomas a blacksmith. As William the immigrant was also a husbandman seems to fit more closely. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">That being said, neither Mary Lovering Holman, noted genealogist of the Pillsbury Family, nor Robert Charles Anderson, confirm any ancestry for William. There is nothing, other than the rarity of the name, to tie William to either man. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">William's possible mother, is dependent on the father. If William Pilsbury of Heaton was the father then his mother was Agnes (Stodderd) Pilsbury. If Thomas Pilsburie of Leek was the father his mother was Elizabeth (Unknown) Pilsburie. If the father of this profile is neither William Pilsberie of Heaton nor Thomas Pilsburie of Leek, then his mother is unknown.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">William's age is based on a 1676 deposition in which he said he was about 71 years old. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><h4 style="text-align: justify;">Coming to America</h4><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">William's name is first found in the records of New England when he and Dorothy Crosby appeared before the Quarterly Court in Boston on 1 June 1641. Both were bound for their good behavior. He was</div><div style="text-align: justify;">'enjoined to work with Goodman Wisswell two days of the week and Goodman one day in the week for five years. Their bond was set at £10.00.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">They next appeared in court on 29 July 1641, this time a married couple. He was censured to be whipped for defiling his masters house as was she. Clearly, both William and Dorothy were indentured servants, in separate houses, and have gotten themselves into a romantic relationship. Their marriage was not recorded, so where exactly they were living is unknown. Their daughter, Dorothy, was born in Dorchester, so it is possible that that is where they resided at the time. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h4 style="text-align: justify;">Children</h4><p style="text-align: justify;">Deborah, b.

In 1651 William purchased the home lot of Edward Rawson of Newbury. From 1653 onward, William's name appears in the Newbury records where he bought and sold land. He was a yeoman/husbandman or planter. In otherwords, he was a farmer.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">William became a freeman of the Massachusetts Colony in 1668.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">William Pillsbury of Newbury wrote his will on 22 April 1686. He named in his will, wife Dorothy, children: Job, Moses, Abel, William, Increase, married daughter Deborah Ewens, Experience and Thankful. William died on 19 June 1686 and buried the next day. His death was noted by diarist Samuel Sewall. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><blockquote>Sabbath-day Morn. Goodman Pilsbury was buried just after the ringing of the second Bell. Grave dugg over night.

John settled just over the Massachusetts line in a town called Haverhill. John married Anne Corliss, daughter of <a href="https://www.jeaniesgenealogy.com/2020/08/george-corliss-immigrant-to-new-england.html" target="_blank">George Corliss </a>on 1 November 1677.

He had been a soldier during the 1675 King Philip's War, a brutal bloody fight between the Native Americans and the English colonist. The English narrowly defeated the Natives who all but pushed them into the ocean. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Once married, John's family rapidly expanded. Ann gave birth every year or two. They lost their infant son Henry in March of 1680. In 1679 John requested additional land from the town and in 1680 he was granted 5 or 6 acres more. He also purchased meadow land from a neighbor Thomas Davis.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Despite winning King Philip's war, the colonies were not at peace with the Native Americans. With French Canadian allies raiding parties swept across the land with lightening quick strikes. 1690 saw the beginning of what is known as <a href="https://www.jeaniesgenealogy.com/2019/06/the-wild-wild-east-native-americans-and.html" target="_blank">King William's War.</a> New Hampshire suffered multiple attacks including the 1689 attack on Cocheco Falls, 1690 attack on Salmon Falls, the 1691 massacre at Brackett Lane, near Sandy Beach. Massachusetts was not spared from these attacks. My ancestor Phillip Rowell was killed in July 1690 in Amesbury. In 1694 the residents of Oyster River were wiped out, including my ancestors <a href="https://www.jeaniesgenealogy.com/2012/06/john-rand-and-remembrance-ault-of.html" target="_blank">John and Remembrance Rand</a>.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">In the midst of these tense times, Anne Corliss Robie died on 1 June 1691, leaving six children, the eldest was thirteen the youngest three. Word reached John of a threat of impending danger of attack. he packed up his children and took them to a 'house of refuge', possibly a garrison house, for protection. Leaving them, he was returning to his house with his eldest son Icabod when he was killed by a musket ball. His son was taken captive by the attackers, but he later escaped. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">John's estate and his children were given over to his brother Thomas Robie. An inventory was taken of his possessions which valued about £309.00. It included all the accouterments typical of a farm life including cows, pigs, horses and oxen.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Many ancestor, his daughter Ruth Robie, was taken to Hampton, where she later married and raised her family. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">In my upcoming novel, The Heron, I explore the experience of living under the constant threat of attack and include many of my own ancestors and minor characters, bringing their world to life.

If so, he was baptized on 12 February 1618. His family ancestry can be reliable traced for several generations and the family name is found in local records for centuries. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h4 style="text-align: justify;">Coming to America</h4><div style="text-align: justify;">The ship and date of sailing are unknown, but Henry's name is found in the Dorchester records by 1639. He didn't stay long in Massachusetts and by 1640 he was in Exeter, New Hampshire and later by 1650, he removed to Hampton, where he spent the remainder of his life. Like all upstanding citizens, Henry performed his civic duties, he acted as constable for the year 1661 and was chosen to be a selectman in 1656. He served as a justice of the peace for many years as well as that of judge of the court of sessions. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Exeter was known as a lumber town and while there, Henry joined in the building of a sawmill. Later in life he was an innkeeper. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h4 style="text-align: justify;">Family</h4><div>Henry married three times. [1] Ruth Moore who died 5 May 1673</div><div> [2] Elizabeth (Philbrick)(Chase) Garland who died 11 Feb 1677</div><div> [3] Sarah (Unknown) who died 23 Jan 1703 </div><div><br /></div><div>Children: Mary, b. abt. 1644, m. 1663, Samuel Folsom, named in fathers will</div><div> Thomas b. 1 March 1645/6, d. 1689 Falmouth</div><div> <span style="background-color: #fff2cc;">John b. 2 Feb 1648 my ancestor</span></div><div> Judith had an illegitimate child, named in fathers will</div><div> Ruth b. 3 March 1654, named in father's will</div><div> Deliverance b. 22 March 1657, m.

I'm not sure when I last saw a name mentioned quite so many times as our Henry. Beginning in 1643 his name is found year in year out. He took the oath of fidelity in 1648. The following year he was made Clerk of the Market, and in 1650 he was a sworn commissioner for Exeter. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Henry was sued by his neighbor and sued them in return. He once sued the very contentious Edward Colcord for suing him too much. Henry was also in court representing clients as their attorney. He was the town attorney for Hampton for several years. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Henry seems to have been something of a hot head and was admonished in court in 1664 for reproaching the minister in reviling speeches concerning the ordinance of baptism. At the time there was huge dissent over the act of baptism, which caused hard feelings on both sides. Henry's wife, Elizabeth was ordered to be sent to jail in Boston for her 'contemptuous carriages' in court. She apologized and avoid prison. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">In 1647 in Exeter, Henry was fined for 'drawing wine and beer without a license'. In 1670 in Hampton he was granted a license, which was renew for many years. The court ruled he could keep an Ordinary but was bound not to let the town's children and servants 'lie tippling in his house'. This order was reinforced in 1679 when the court reminded him that the Ordinary was for travelers only, no townfolk could be served. Henry apparently like to serve himself. He was excommunicated from the church of Hampton by Rev. Moody for being a common drunkard. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Henry's daughter Judith found her way into the court records when she had a child out of wedlock. The court ordered John Young, the father, to pay maintenance for the child. Apparently the couple never married and the Robys were often in court seeking payment. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Henry died in 1688. The Reverend Cotton said of him, 'he would not have so honorable a burial as an ass'. This seems to be the case and it is said that 'when dead, his body was taken and thrown in a hole near the great rock in the rear of the old meeting house sometime in the night'. This was to avoid his creditors putting a lien on the body. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Henry left a lengthy will and codicil. The inventory was extensive and include a 'looking glass that was bought in England'. He was evidently a successful businessman, despite his drinking. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Sources: </div><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://www.seacoastonline.com/news/20170119/life-of-early-hampton-settler-henry-roby">https://www.seacoastonline.com/news/20170119/life-of-early-hampton-settler-henry-roby</a></div><div><br /></div><div><a href="http://www.hampton.lib.nh.us/hampton/history/church/congregational/churchmanual/congo_1.htm">http://www.hampton.lib.nh.us/hampton/history/church/congregational/churchmanual/congo_1.htm</a></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6796453294242204514.post-13636438179690891022020-08-16T13:01:00.001-07:002020-08-16T13:01:37.581-07:00Ancestry of Henry Robie of Castle Donington and Hampton, New Hampshire<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPb93KisQIx-rfklZhln0vpxuq1ufLAP4e6nk2YabKVaKdpMCf4fynUF1BsGnPbtCL3PqG_AEA1bMluLrJrg7JlTcV0Y7nyHCrwsTgAO_9ewu6D0vGK7K7MBxuO0m7xBZmbiwXuKJQL4U/s1280/geograph-6188132-by-Alan-Murray-Rust.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="1280" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPb93KisQIx-rfklZhln0vpxuq1ufLAP4e6nk2YabKVaKdpMCf4fynUF1BsGnPbtCL3PqG_AEA1bMluLrJrg7JlTcV0Y7nyHCrwsTgAO_9ewu6D0vGK7K7MBxuO0m7xBZmbiwXuKJQL4U/s640/geograph-6188132-by-Alan-Murray-Rust.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Henry Roby/Robie was an English immigrant who came to New England by the year 1639 making him part of the Great Puritan Migration.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
James Davis of Haverhill, Massachusetts in a known son of John Davis of Acton Turville. This seems to cement the relationship between Thomas and the Davis' of Acton Turville. </div>

<b>marriage</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Thomas is believed to have been born about 1603 and married Christian Bellshire in Chipping Sodbury, Gloucestershire, England on 14 November 1622. This would put Thomas at age nineteen, a bit on the young side for marriage but it seems to check out. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>children</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Joanna b. about 1625, married Oct. 1645 George Corliss, 4 Oct. 1687 James Ordway</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Joseph b. about 1627, d. 15 Nov. 1671, unmarried and childless.</div>

Thomas Davies, Sawyer, of Marlborough, sailed on the James in 1635 out of Southampton. He had two children; Joanna and Joseph. He first settled in Newbury before removing to Haverhill where he was known to be by 1641 where he became a freeman on 2 June. He was not only a sawyer but also a mason, and was known as a yeoman. Although he owned books, he made his mark on various documents. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Like most men of the time, Thomas performed his civic duties, serving on juries, both petit and grand, commission to end small causes and once served as constable. He would have served with thl local militia until he was dismissed in 1662. This was usual for men when they reached about age 60 or so. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He owned and sold various properties and in 1661 he deeded land to his son Joseph adjoining his in Haverhill. When he died on 27 July 1683, the majority of the value of his estate was in property.</div>

Henry Ambrose, immigrant to New England hailed from Kersey, Suffolk. Kersey is a scant 10 or so miles from Groton, home of John Winthrop, Governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Coincidence?

A carpenter by trade, Henry went where there was business. At some point, either before or after sailing, he married a woman named Susanna. In 1647 Henry sold his house and house lot to the Reverend Wheelwright, but it is believed he purchased another home as he remained in Hampton until 1649.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">In 1650 Henry is recorded as living in Salisbury.

The <u>Great Lower Room</u> was filled with a bed, a trundle bed, a table, kettle, cupboard with books and pewter. <u>The Kitchen </u> had yet another table and chairs plus all the accouterments you'd need to prepare food.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Apologies to all the John Smith's in the world, but dang, this is a hard name to research, it's just too common. The English origins of John Smith, who married Deborah Parkhurst are uncertain but noted Great Migration genealogist Robert Charles Anderson wrote an article in 1985 laying out his research and conclusion and difficult to trace without a serious clue. So, here is what I know about John Smith.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
The Norcross Connection</h4>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On 1 December 1640 the General Court of Massachusetts handed down an order in a case involving one John Smith Jr. and 'his father' Jeremy Norcross. It is clear from their surnames that Norcross must be the step-father and not the biological father of John. Anderson believes that this John Smith is the man who received land in Watertown in 1636, 1637, and 1638. His grants were small indicating that he was single. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On 14 September 1611 at St. Luke, Chelsea, Middlesex, Jeremy Norcross married Audrie Smithe, widow. They had children baptized at All Hallows, Bread Street, London. This couple and their children immigrated to Massachusetts and lived in Watertown. Anderson believes that she is the mother of immigrant John Smith. If so, he is birth is before the 1611 marriage and would fit with him being a young man in his twenties during the early Watertown grants. If true, then Smith was likely born in London, but his parental ancestry remains unknown as does his mother's maiden name.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
Hampton</h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In 1642 Watertown audited all the grant lands to ascertain who remained in town and held their original land. John Smith Jr. is not on the list. He had removed to Hampton, New Hampshire. A list of first-comers, includes a Goodman Smith how arrived in the second summer (1639). He and his wife, Goodwife Smith, were assigned seats in the meetinghouse in 1650. Sadly, no first names were recorded. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Goody Smith was Deborah Parkhurst, daughter of <a href="https://www.jeaniesgenealogy.com/2020/02/george-parkhurst-england-to-new-england.html" target="_blank">George and Phebe Leete Parkhurst </a>of Watertown. Her mother died in Watertown in about 1644 and her father returned to England in 1655. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
Martha's Vineyard</h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In 1653 a John Smith is found in the records of Edgartown on Martha's Vineyard. He appears in the records for doing various civic duties such as Magistrate Assistant and for land grants. In 1659 he became one of the 10 associate proprietors of Nantucket. In 1662 he was part of the train band for Martha's Vineyard. This would indicate that he was not yet above 60 years old, when most men were relieved of duty. He is last recorded in Martha's Vineyard in 1664. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
Nantucket</h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In 1670, John Smith, of sound body and mind, wrote his will on the island of Nantucket. He says he was in perfect health. In his will he names his wife Deborah and children Phillip, John, Samuel, Deborah and Abigail. John and Samuel split the Nantucket property and Phillip got Martha's Vineyard.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is not know when John died, but his son John sold the Nantucket land in 1674 and moved to Hampton, New Hampshire. So his father was dead prior to 1674. His mother may have died about 1686 when Phillip sold the family homestead to his brother Samuel. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
Quakers</h4>
<div>
Many of the early settlers of Nantucket were Quakers and quiet a few folk left Hampton when they were being persecuted. I wonder if John was a Quaker? </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h4>
Deborah Smith Batchelder</h4>
<div>
I descend from daughter Deborah. She was born about 1640, probably in Hampton. She married Nathaniel Batchelder, grandson of the Reverend Stephen Batchelder. She died quite young in 1676 in Hampton. </div>

Hooray! My first, very first, ancestor who is not Irish or English! I'm exited to find I have a tiny vein of French blood running through my 99% Anglo ancestry. So here it is.<br />
<br />
<h4>
The Batchelders</h4>
<div>
I am descended through two children of the Reverend Stephen Batchelder. Once through his daughter Ann, who married an Unknown Sanborn. Their son, immigrated to New England with his Grandfather. But, I am also descended through Stephen's son Nathaniel. Nathaniel Junior also immigrated with gramps, leaving behind his parents, Nathaniel and Hester Mercer. Hester is the French Connection. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h4>
The Mercers</h4>
<div>
Jan Mercier was born about 1555 in Tournai/Tournay, Normandy, France. On the 18th of October, 1579 he married Jane LeClerc a native of Valciennes, in Southampton, England at St. Julien's also known as God's House. [1] Jan was a merchant and seems to have been quite successful. It is believed that he fled France during the persecution of the Hugenots in France. Southampton had a large French population, both from the continent and the Island of Guernsey. </div>
<div>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">St. Julien's or God's House</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In 1587, Jan is mentioned in the Court Leet of Southampton. He was presented in court as a 'stranger' and 'great dealer'. His business, it appears, was so successful, that he was hindering the business of the local burgess. He was fined for his offense. [2] In 1593, Jan is again in trouble for trading. His entry is found in the book of Examinations and Depositions. Brought before the Mayor, he was asked to explain two bundles of cloth in his possession and if they had come to him via The Saint Malo League. The case also involved 5 casks of Olde Sacke. The outcome is unknown.[3]</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h4>
Children</h4>
<div>
Jan and Jeanne had a lot of children. At least eleven that I counted. On 23 May 1591, Jeanne gave birth to a girl they named Ester. She must have died as on 1 August 1602 a second daughter named Ester was baptized. They also had two sons, named Phillip.<br />
<br />
Paul wrote his will in 1661, named in Daniels's will<br />
Jeanne bp. 3 June 1581 named Priaulx in Daniel's will<br />
Marie bp. 2 Sept. 1582 named in brother Daniel's will Sister Priaulx<br />
Elizabeth bp. 9 June 1586 named Elizabeth Blanchard in Paul's will, sister Blanchard<br />
Judith bp. 30 May 1587 named Judith Johnson and Daniels will<br />
Pierre bp. 29 Aug 1588 named Peter in Daniel's will<br />
Phillip bp. 14 Dec 1589 died young<br />
Ester bp. 23 May 1591 died young<br />
Phillip bp. 3 March 1593<br />
Ann bp. 2 July 1600 named sister Stroud in Daniel's will<br />
Daniel bp. 24 June 1601 deceased in Paul's 1661 will dated 1650</div>
Ester bp. 1 Aug 1602 deceased, children Anna, Nathaniel, Francis and Benjamin named/Nathaniel name in Daniel's will<br />
<br />
Francis no record named in Paul's will - my brother, named in Daniel's will<br />
William no record named in Paul's will - my brother<br />
<br />
Most of this information comes from the will of Paul and Francis Mercer. It would seem that Paul was quite wealthy at his death and left a significant bequest to most of his family members.<br />
<br />
<h4>
Death of Jan and Jane/Jeanne Le Clercq Mercer</h4>
<div>
Jane died on 17 January 1621</div>
<div>
Jan died on 3 January 1626</div>
<div>
Their death and burials are recorded in the records of the Huguenot church in Southampton where they married and baptized their children. I think it is safe to assume they died in Southampton.[6]</div>
<h4>
<br /></h4>
<h4>
Nathaniel Batchelder</h4>
<div>
Nathaniel and Hestor's marriage record has not been found. They had four or five children before her death along with those named in their uncle's wills, there is a Stephen Batchelder who is presumed to be the son of Nathaniel. Nathaniel Jr. was born about 1630. Hester died some time before 1645. Nathaniel was remarried and his widow Marjorie was made excutrix of his estate. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h4>
Nathaniel Batchelder Jr.</h4>
<div>
Nathaniel traveled to New Hampshire at some point to join his grandfather and Sanborn cousins, children of his father's sister Ann. He is first found in the records in a deed dated 1647. It is likely that he came after his father's 1645 death. </div>

<span style="font-size: large;">John Pike, 1635 immigrant to New England was recorded on the passenger list for the <i>James </i>on 5 April 1635, as a laborer of Langford, Wiltshire, England. There's not much in Landford, the parish church was built in 1858, the Landford Manor house dates from the 17th century, after John had sailed away. Landford is about 10 miles south of the large town of Salisbury. John's ancestry is not known.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">John of Landford married Dorothy Daye of Boscombe, Wiltshire on 17 January 1612/13 in a neighboring parish, Whiteparish, about 3 miles away. The baptisms for two of his children are recorded at Landford, whose parish records from this time no longer exist; Israel in 1623 and their second son John in 1628. The remainder of the children are presumed to have been baptised there as well. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Dorothy Day, b. about 1592, was the daughter of Thomas and Joan (Morris) Day of Boscombe, Wiltshire. Boscombe is to the north of Salisbury, about 18 miles from Landford. Thomas and Joan were married in Whiteparish on 12 June 1589. It is suggested that there might be a Morris connection to that place.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I found a reference to a court case which involved Thomas Day of Boscombe in 1602, which seems to cement this as his place of residence. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Thomas wrote his will in June of 1631. He names his daughter, Dorothy Pike and her husband John. Thomas leaves her and her children 2 shillings apiece. His unmarried daughters get a sum of money either £100 or £20, a lot of money in those days. He also mentions his living at Newton which is nearby. It would seem that Thomas was fairly well off. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Dorothy's mother wrote her will on 28 March 1632. Joan made a bequeath to her son-in-law John Pike and his children with no mention of Dorothy. It is believed that she died between her father's will and her mothers. </span></div>

<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">coming to america</span></h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">At the age of 48, John Pike made the momentous decision to leave England and take his five children to New England. The sailed aboard the <i>James </i>from the port at Southampton, only 14 miles from their home. They arrived in Boston on 3 June 1635. The fledging colony was only five years old. Israel, the youngest child, was twelve, her oldest brother John was 22. What must they have thought?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Ipswich and Newbury</span></h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The family made a brief stop in the town of Ipswich before settling in Newbury on the banks of the Parker River. John remained here until shortly before his death. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Puritan men, of good social standing were expected to serve their town and colony in civic duties, such as serving on juries. John also acted as an attorney in a couple of court cases. Clearly, he not just a laborer. In a case dated 1647, John was fined 32 shillings for 'taking the coat of Thomas Blomefield, detaining it after it was cried three times and cutting it too pieces'. I'm sure there is a good story there. The last case in which I found his name was in 1654 when he represented the town of Newbury in court. He must have moved to Salisbury thereafter. Perhaps his health was failing and he needed the care of his family.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Although Charles Banks includes a Mrs. Pike in his list of Pike family members aboard the <i>James</i>, there is no record of a second marriage for John. It is possible, women were of little note in those days, unless they did something bad or left a will. So, for now, I will assume that his only marriage was to Dorothy. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">death</span></h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">John Pike's will was written on 24 May 1654. He died on 26 May, two days later. He was 67. He made bequeaths to two grandsons named John Pike, one the son of John, the other of Robert. He named his daughters, Dorothy, Anne and Israel as well as his daughter-in-laws. His inventory included a house and land in Newbury and land in Salisbury, each valued at 60£. Every item he owned was inventoried down to his mittens. Cattle was very valuable, he sole cow was worth 39£.</span></div>

<br />
St. Peter's Freston, Suffolk<br />
<br />
Humphrey Munning is said to have been born in Nedging, the son of Thomas Munning and Unknown Barker. His mother died at some point and his father remarried a woman named Alice Risby, she was a widow. Thomas Munning called himself a Gentleman and judging by his will he was fairly well off, owning properties in several villages in Suffolk. Most of what we know about these families is from their wills. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In 1557 when Thomas Munning died, Humphrey, his eldest son, was already out of the house, married and living on a farm called Hazelwood. This farm must have been near the village of Freston as most of his children were baptized there. His wife was a woman named Ellen Ungle. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
His children baptized in Freston were:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ellen bp. 10 May 1551</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Christoper bp. 16 Feb 1554</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Robert bp. 16 Feb 1555</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
William bp. 16 April 1558</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Phillip bp. 1 July 1560</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Humphry bp. 11 Oct 1562</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After Humphry his children were baptized in Semer, closer to where he was born. They were:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Henry bp. 13 March 1565 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Elizabeth bp. 26 March 1568 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Edmund bp. 4 Dec 1570<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Parish Church of Semer -All Saints<br />
<br />
Based on these dates, I think Ellen Ungle was likely born about 1530 as she would have given birth to her last child by age 40, which is reasonable. Some websites list her birth as 1514 which would make her way to old to be the mother of all of Humphrey's children. As she is named in Alice Risby's will in 1587 we know that she was. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In his father's will Humphrey was left a piece of silver that once belonged to his grandfather, Henry Munning, a gown lined with fox fur, 4 silver spoons, one great brass pot with feet, one horse, 5 seams of barley and 3 seams of wheat, 20£, a winged leaved table, a further 10£ all under the condition that he not vex or trouble his Executrix, his step-mother Alice. Was there bad blood between them? Did Thomas suspect that his eldest son would take advantage of her? </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In her will, Alice mentions Humphrey and Ellen. To Ellen she left her best hat. Humphrey got 20 shillings and each of their child 5 shillings. Clearly whatever might have happened was put behind them by then. Not mentioned in her will was her son George Munning who was named in his father's will. This might have something to do with Humphrey moving back to Semer. Maybe he inherited George's land? I'm just throwing that out as a theory. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Humphrey's estate was administered in 1596.<br />

Humphrey Munning and Elizabeth Winthrop are exciting ancestors. Elizabeth was a cousin of Governor John Winthrop of the Great Migration fame and founder of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Elizabeth's father was William Winthrop, son of Adam Winthrop. When Adam left London for the rural country life at Groton, William remained in London to carry on the business. Elizabeth was born in London in 1569. Her father died when she was young, in 1581. We don't know what became of her before her marriage, but it is not out of the question that she went to live at Edwardstone and Groton with her relatives. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Humphrey grew up in Suffolk, England. His father, also Humphrey lived in Semer. His family had a multi-generational association with the village of Nedgings. He didn't move far, Semer is only 1.8 miles away. Humphrey received his M.A. from Magdalene College in 1585. He was ordained a deacon and priest in 1589 and was made the rector of Great Thornham, Suffolk in 1596-1597. I can't find this on the map, it is probably Thornham Magna. In 1597 he was transferred to the church at Brettenham where he remained until his death in 1624. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The marriage record for Humphrey and Elizabeth Winthrop has not been found, but his name appears in Adam Winthrop's journal in 1592 and he calls him Cousin. There does not appear to be a family relationship between Humphrey and Adam other than his marriage to Elizabeth so I assume that in 1592 the two were already married.<br />

<br />
From this point forward Humphrey's name appears in the journal. Adam Winthrop loaded him books, money and the two visited each other's homes. Adam also made not of attending Humphrey's sermons at various local churches, calling one a Godly and learned sermon.<br />
<br />
The pair had at least 10 children by 1624. Elizabeth, the eldest daughter married in 1616, so she was probably born about 1595.<br />
<br />
Humphrey died in 1624, aged about 62. He was buried at the church in Brettenham on the 24th of June. Elizabeth wrote her will around the same time, many of her children were under age at that time. Elizabeth outlived him by seven years, dying in 1631. Elizabeth named her married daughter Elizabeth Salter wife of George, sons: Richard, Theophilis, William, then Anne, Ellen, Humphrey, Abigail, Katheryn and finally Leonard.<br />

This is a continuation of the ancestry of George Parkhurst, immigrant to New England who returned to England, to live out his days. Luckily for me, his daughter Deborah and her family remained. This is what we know about Deborah's mother, Phebe Leet Parkhurst, who may or may not have come to America. If she did, she died soon after as her husband remarried about a year after his arrival. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Phebe's parents lived in and around Little Eversden, Cambridgeshire, England. Her father was Robert Leete, son of John. Robert was an educated man, he attended college, receiving both a bachelor and master's degree and became a Fellow of St. John's College in 1545. </div>

It is not until 1573 that Robert married, or if he had married previously, there were no living children and no record of his wife or marriage. He was probably around 48 years old at the time he finally got around to settling down. His bride was the very pregnant Alice Grundy. She delivered their first child a mere two months following the wedding. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Was Alice some strumpet who trapped the unsuspecting bachelor with her charms? I doubt it. Alice's parents are unknown, but she had a brother John Grundy who also attended St. John's College and became a fellow in 1561. He <pwa class="pwa-mark pwa-mark-done" data-pwa-category="style" data-pwa-dictionary-word="went on to become" data-pwa-heavy="false" data-pwa-hint="Readability may be enhanced by using: became" data-pwa-id="pwa-1441C551B77C84437B075770DAAEDBB2" data-pwa-rule-id="READABILITY_1169" data-pwa-suggestions="became"><pwa class="pwa-mark pwa-mark-done" data-pwa-category="style" data-pwa-dictionary-word="went on to become" data-pwa-heavy="false" data-pwa-hint="Readability may be enhanced by using: became" data-pwa-id="pwa-06987AC648610BFA96FED24360C117B1" data-pwa-rule-id="READABILITY_1169" data-pwa-suggestions="became"><pwa class="pwa-mark pwa-mark-done" data-pwa-category="style" data-pwa-dictionary-word="went on to become" data-pwa-heavy="false" data-pwa-hint="Readability may be enhanced by using: became" data-pwa-id="pwa-25312911C976C4A4844F8B8588AD6C3F" data-pwa-rule-id="READABILITY_1169" data-pwa-suggestions="became">went on to become</pwa></pwa></pwa> a rector at various parishes in Suffolk.

Robert's brother Edmund died in about 1580, unmarried, perhaps this late marriage thing ran in the family. Anyway, his will is of note. He lived in Eversden, which was in the diocese of Ely.

Edmund left his land to his parents but made a special request that his brother Robert get his house that he lived in. He described it only by calling it a 'new house.' </div>

Christoper Parkhurst was born in Guildford about 1520-1524. He is first named in a town record in 1546, the same one from which his father's name is absent. He lived in the St. Marys' Parish. In 1550 he and his sister sold land to the husband of a second sister. <span class="rangySelectionBoundary" id="selectionBoundary_1580852194107_6145096715288219" style="display: none; line-height: 0;"></span><span class="rangySelectionBoundary" id="selectionBoundary_1580852175130_7795701262502717" style="display: none; line-height: 0;"></span><br />

Not everyone who immigrated to the new world made a success of it. Some didn't like it, some couldn't hack it, some were homesick. Sometimes they took one look at the Massachusetts Bay Colony from the ship and booked their return passage home on the spot. My ancestor George Parkhurst was one of those, for whatever reason, eventually returned to England for good. Here is what I know about him.</div>

Soon after this second marriage, George and Susanna moved to Boston. We don't know why.

He had to petition the General Court to enable the sale of the land and in his petition he states he is near 67 years old and his wife is near destitute. He tells the court she has gone to London with six of her ten children and that she found her mother, brothers, and sisters unable to do what she had expected. What this was we do not know, but my best guess is to support her and the children financially.

Most of my information comes from the brilliant book; Fifty Great Migration Colonists by Genealogist John Brooks Threlfall. It's expensive but worth the cost. (at least it was for me!) Click on the cover and the link will take you to the Amazon page where you can check it out. </div>

Benjamin Brown of Hampton and Seabrook was the third child and second son of John and Sarah Brown, English immigrants to New Hampshire. He and all of his siblings were born in New Hampshire which makes it likely that his parents met and married in New England. [1] In his genealogy of the family, Joseph Dow suggest that Sarah might have been Elizabeth Brown, same parents, different given name. <pwa class="pwa-mark pwa-mark-done" data-pwa-category="grammar" data-pwa-dictionary-word="Noyes" data-pwa-heavy="false" data-pwa-hint="Possible confused word" data-pwa-id="pwa-2327B78B73B8D7B5C9CC0326ADC42E58" data-pwa-rule-id="CRFSR_NOYES_12" data-pwa-suggestions="Notes"><pwa class="pwa-mark pwa-mark-done" data-pwa-category="grammar" data-pwa-dictionary-word="Noyes" data-pwa-heavy="false" data-pwa-hint="Possible confused word" data-pwa-id="pwa-7B629A7F07243E2D427DD2110F77EE8A" data-pwa-rule-id="CRFSR_NOYES_12" data-pwa-suggestions="Notes"><pwa class="pwa-mark pwa-mark-done" data-pwa-category="grammar" data-pwa-dictionary-word="Noyes" data-pwa-heavy="false" data-pwa-hint="Possible confused word" data-pwa-id="pwa-01F87B168B423A1A8100D8ED9016FA3D" data-pwa-rule-id="CRFSR_NOYES_12" data-pwa-suggestions="Notes">Noyes</pwa></pwa></pwa>, Davis, Libby say that the information on Sarah Brown's ancestry comes from one Asa Brown who first made the claim in 1851 and again in <pwa class="pwa-mark-done" data-pwa-category="" data-pwa-dictionary-word="1" data-pwa-heavy="false" data-pwa-hint="Missing punctuation" data-pwa-id="pwa-6C45DBFAD89C3AE0667B4F97F0366988" data-pwa-rule-id="END_PUNC" data-pwa-suggestions="1.">1</pwa>868.
