Came to Mass. by 1637, removed to Wethersfield with first settlers, and apparently was dead by Feb. 1637/8, when the Conn. General Court ordered creditors to present claims. His widow married John Whitmore, who was of Wethersfield by, 1639, and the Whitmores removed in 1641 to Stamford, doubtless with the Jessup children. Here Whitmore was murdered by the Indians, Oct. 1648. In 1652, the widow Joanna Whitmore sold land in Stamford. In a court case 1657, it was testified that "Edward Jessup and his mother widdow Whitmore went from Stamford to live els- where". [New Haven Col. Rec.] Probable children: John, removed from Wethersfield to Stamford 1641, and to Southampton, L. I., by 1653. +Edward. A daughter, presumably, who m. John Burroughs. He was at Salem, Mass., by 1637; of Newtown, L. I., 1657, and d. Aug. 1678 ae. 61, having m. (2) widow Elizabeth Reed. Burroughs was THE FAMILIES OF OLD FAIRFIELD 337 called brother-in-law in will of Edward Jessup; who also gave a legacy to his cousin [niece] Johanna Burroughs. Note that the child Johanna was named after her grandmother. Jessup, Edward, s. of John. Magistrate at Newtown, 1659, 1660, 1661, 1662. Magistrate for Westchester, appointed by Conn. Leg., Oct. 1663, May 1664. Patentee, Westchester, 1666. In testimony taken 1672, he was referred to as an original lot- owner at Fairfield (1639). After his stepfather's death, he appears in Stamford records, 1649. The Fairfield land, he sold to Thomas Barlow before 1653. He was a pioneer of Newtown, L. I., 1652, and in 1661 bought land in Jamaica which was sold in 1691 by his son Edward of Fairfield. In 1663 he removed to Westchester, N. Y., where he d. in 1666. Will 6 Aug. 1666, proved 14 Nov. 1666; dau. Elizabeth Hunt; dau. Hannah Jessup (under 18); son Edward (under age); gr. child Mary Hunt; cousin Johanna Burroughs; to Derrick Gasson, a cow; to wife Elizabeth, Exec'x, most of Est.; over­ seers, Mr. Richard Cornhill, J. P., Mrs. Sarah Bridges, bro.-in- law John Burroughs, and Ralph Hunt. His widow Elizabeth m. in 1668, Robert Beacham of Fairfield and took her two younger children there with her. She was liv­ ing 25 Dec. 1690, when she conveyed to son Edward all her property. Edward Jessup of Fairfield conveyed right in cattle belonging to his father Jessup, to Thomas Hunt, Jr., 23 July 1682. A letter from Elizabeth Beacham to her son-in-law Thomas Hunt, Jr., 27 Mar. 1682, gave her son Edward power to dispose of any estate that belongs to him. "I give Edward power to dispose of any of my daughter Hannah's jades, for I have order from my son Joseph and his wife both." [Westchester Deeds.] Children: Elizabeth,* m. Thomas Hunt, Jr., of Westchester. Hannah, m. Joseph .f -l-Edward, b. abt. 1663. * Perhaps dau. of Edward by an earlier marriage. The other two children were certainly by Elizabeth, and apparently were some years younger than their sister. t The Jessup Genealogy suggests that Hannah may have been wife of Joseph Lock- wood, which would make her stepdau. instead of actual dau. of Robert Beacham (see his will). This is a plausible theory, but evidence is insufficient to substantiate it. 338 HISTORY AND GENEALOGY OF Jessup, Edward, s. of Edward. Born about 1663, d. at Stamford, 28 Dec. 1732 in 70 yr. (g. s.). Aged 29, he testified 1692 in Disbrow witchcraft trial. He m. (2) Elizabeth Hide, dau. of John, b. 23 Aug. 1668. She renewed her Covenant at Fairfield Church, 13 Sept. 1696; d. at Stamford, 2 Oct. 1747 in 79 yr. (g. s.). Will 17 Aug. 1731, proved 5 Jan. 1732/3; wife Elizabeth; sons Joseph (Exec'r), Jonathan; daus. Hannah, Elizabeth; son Ebenezer; daus. Abilene, Deborah, Sarah. The son Jonathan, and John Reynolds who m. a dau., appealed 5 Feb. 1733; but on 20 Feb. joined with John Smith and Elizabeth his wife in quit­ claiming all right in Est. to the Exec'r. Abilene receipted 1734 for her bequest. Elizabeth Jessup of Stamford, will 15 Sept. 1747, proved 6 Oct. 1747; sons Edward and Joseph; daus. Abilene, Deborah, Sarah, who (called "my three daughters") were to have residue; gr. dau. Elizabeth Darling. Children [by first wife]: Jonathan, d. at Greenwich in 1757; adm'n granted to Sarah, 2 Aug. 1757; m. Sarah , who m. (2) Timothy Knapp. The will of Jonathan Husted of Greenwich, 1705, gave to cousin Jonathan Jessup, "now dwelling with me", half his estate; and in 1711 Husted's widow conveyed to cousin Jonathan Jessup, "now living with me", lands in Greenwich and Stamford. The will of Jabez Sherwood of Greenwich, 1704, gave lands to Jonathan Husted and his wife; and to Jonathan Jessup, son of Edward of Fair­ field, his carpenter's tools, and his hat.* Hannah, b. [say 1692]; m. John Reynolds, of Greenwich. Elizabeth, b. (rec. Greenfield) 11 Feb. 1693 [1693/4]; m. Aug. 1710, John Smith. Children [by second wife], bapt. at Fairfield Church: Abilene, bapt. 13 Sept. 1696; m. John Darling. XEdward, bapt. 7 Mar. 1696/7, d. at Westport, 30 Sept. 1750 in 54 yr. (g. s.) ; m. (rec. Fairfield) 7 Dec. 1724, Sarah Blackleach. She was dau. of Richard, 2d, b. abt. 1700, d. 18 Nov. 1783 in 84 yr. (g. s.). Edward received by deed his father's homestead at Maximus [Westport]. * It is clear from these wills that Jonathan Jessep cannot be identified with the son bapt. 1707, and the excellent Jessup Genealogy errs in this particular. We know that Jonathan was under 21 in 1705 and should guess, from the terms of the wills, that he was born not later than 1690. His mother may have been a dau. of Angel Husted, and he was adopted by his childless uncle Jonathan Husted, for whom he was prob. named. THE FAMILIES OF OLD FAIRFIELD 339 Joseph, bapt. 4 June 1699, d. at Montreal, Canada, in 1778 ae. 79; m. at Stamford, 14 Aug. 1734, Abigail James; she was dau. of Henry, and d. 6 May 1743 in [ ] yr. (g. s., Stamford). He rem. to Nine Partners, N. Y., abt. 1744; loyalist. Deborah, bapt. 12 July 1702, d. at Stamford, 1 Mar. 1769; m. at Stamford, 23 Feb. 1740/1, Obadiah Stevens.

A preface to this, the Third Book of " Early Connecticut Marriages," seems hardly necessary in view of the fact that so little is to be added to what has already been stated in our two previous issues. And yet a word must be said if only to express our sincere gratification that through sufficient patronage this unique genealogical enterprise should have been found popular enough to warrant the issue of a third book of the kind without financial loss. However certain a gain all such productions always are to earnest seekers, we ourselves are not so sure but that its fate may yet be not unlike many another such— "a drug on the market;" still, with past encouragement and increasing interest the hope is augmented that as a natural consequence a fourth book may duly appear, leading to the ulti- mate completion of this most helpful work.

JOHN and JANE MATHEW. He was most likely named, as the second son, after his mother’s surname. This seems to be a custom that appears among landed gentry and in several St. John generations. The first son is usually named after the paternal family by either taking the father or grandfather or current tenement-in- chief’s name and the second son takes the mother’s surname as a first name. With his father, Thomas, being a younger son himself, his marriage to the female heir of the Mathew family offered Thomas or one of his sons a greater chance of rising himself to tenant-in-chief of the Mathew estate.

  • Robert Bell, Printer
    ROBERT BELL, PRINTER Not quite two years since, in the spring of 1906, the writer came across an item relating to Robert Bell, a Quaker city printer of the later Colo- nial period, whose brilliancy of career was unearthed in detail mainly through a business deal we noted he was to have had with Lancaster's prominent townsman, Edward Ship- pen; and there is so much of general as well as some local interest at- tached to Bell's life that it is now and here presented to our Historical So- ciety as a valuable addition to eastern Pennsylvania history. Some one whose identity has not been revealed states, in the Master Printer, that "Robert Bell's very name is forgotten, and only recalled when one of his publications is found in the auction room or on the second-hand stalls. To the world at large Frank- lin's name stands alone in represent- ing the Philadelphia printer, while that of Bell is as dead as the world's indifference can make it." We shall endeavor to bring his work back to life. Bell practically began his publishing career where the famous Franklin left off, and from then on really issued and sold a larger variety if not more books than his philosophic predeces- sor. The period of hie activity ranges from 1768 to 1784. Bell was in Phila- delphia prior to the former date, prob- ably as early as 1765. He was a re- puted Scotchman, and supposed by one authority to have been a partner of George Alexander Stevens, coming to Philadelphia in 1766.

  • Founders List Updated 2006
    DFAW FOUNDERS LIST UPDATED 2021 The first Founders List was literally carved in stone when the National Society, Sons and Daughters of the Pilgrims erected the impressive Founders Monument on the site of the first meetinghouse on Palisado Green on May 30, 1930, the three hundredth anniversary of the arrival of the Mary and John in the waters off Nantasket. That congregation formed the nucleus of the collection of several groups who settled in Windsor before the end of 1641. That day in 1930 marked the 300th Anniversary of the organization of the First Church in Windsor on the dock in Plymouth just before the Mary and John set sail. Many turned out for the celebration that day -- a church event, not a town event -- and several future members of DFAW were children in photographs of that day. In their enthusiasm, the organizers of the monument put on the names of many settlers who arrived well after the pioneer years, including Elder John Strong and Sgt. Josias Ellsworth, names that must be recalled in any remembrance of early Windsor families, without specifying just how early. Other names were left off -- any who came with the Holmes party from Plymouth in 1633 and many of the servants who came with the Stiles and other families. Virtually all the wives were left off. Another list of early Windsor settlers was apparently developed for the town's Tercentennial in 1933. That September, the Hartford Times published a list of founders of Windsor which still circulates. That list suffers from the same inclusion of families arriving much later than 1635 and the same exclusions.

His researches seem to them a waste of time and energy. Interest in ancestors, love of family and kindred, those subtle questions of race, origin, even of life itself, which they involve, are quite beyond their com prehension. They live only in the present, care nothing for the past and little for the future; for " he who cares not whence he cometh, cares not whither he goeth." When such persons are approached with questions of ancestry, they retire to their stronghold of apathy; and the querist learns, without diffi culty, that whether their ancestors were vile or illustrious, virtuous or vicious, or whether, indeed, they ever had any, is to them a matter of supreme indifference.

  • English Immigration to Massachusetts Bay, 1629-1640 *
    English Immigration to Massachusetts Bay, 1629-1640 * The great migration was a flight from conditions that had grown intolerable at home. It had its roots embedded in the Renaissance period. It is essential for the understanding of the events leading to the colonization of New England to have an understanding of the terms and philosophies used in their description. During the 15th century, a great change began to take place in the life of England. This change had begun about a century before in Italy and had swept over the whole of civilized Europe. People found the world more beautiful and life richer in joy than ever before. They reached out in all directions for new experiences and new knowledge. So complete and profound was this change from the medieval to the modern world that the new awakening is called the Renaissance [new birth]. The gradual broadening of human knowledge during the Renaissance is often referred to as the Revival of Learning. In England the Renaissance includes roughly the years from 1400 until the death of Shakespeare, in 1616. The latter half of the 16th century and the early part of the 17th century are especially important in the history of English Renaissance, because during these years the great Queen Elizabeth occupied the English throne (1558-1603) and Shakespeare (1564-1616) composed his immortal dramas. The newly discovered areas of the world were fascinating to the English, especially America. They looked upon America as a land of marvels and of untold possibilities. The idea of America as a land of freedom, plenty and opportunity began to take shape during the Renaissance.

SAMUEL PROVOOST, FIRST BISHOP OF NEW YORK.* AN ADDRESS TO THE GENEALOGICAL AND BIOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY. By Gen. Ja.s. Grant Wilson. [With a Portrait of BishoJ> Provoost.) Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen : " It is a pleasing fancy which the elder Disraeli has preserved, somewhere, in amber, that portrait-painting had its origin in the inventive fondness of a girl, who traced upon the wall the iirofile of her sleeping lover. It was an outline merely, but love could always fill it up and make it live. It is the most that I can hope to do for my dear, dead brother. But how many there are—the world-wide circle of his friends, his admiring diocese, his attached clergy, the immediate inmates of his heart, the loved ones of his hearth—from whose informing breath it will take life, reality, and beauty." These beautiful words are borrowed from Bishop Doane, of New Jersey, who used them as an introductory paragraph in a memorial of one of Bishop Pro- voost's successors, Jonathan Mayhew Wainwright.

  • Robert Graves the White Goddess
    ROBERT GRAVES THE WHITE GODDESS IN DEDICATION All saints revile her, and all sober men Ruled by the God Apollo's golden mean— In scorn of which I sailed to find her In distant regions likeliest to hold her Whom I desired above all things to know, Sister of the mirage and echo. It was a virtue not to stay, To go my headstrong and heroic way Seeking her out at the volcano's head, Among pack ice, or where the track had faded Beyond the cavern of the seven sleepers: Whose broad high brow was white as any leper's, Whose eyes were blue, with rowan-berry lips, With hair curled honey-coloured to white hips. Green sap of Spring in the young wood a-stir Will celebrate the Mountain Mother, And every song-bird shout awhile for her; But I am gifted, even in November Rawest of seasons, with so huge a sense Of her nakedly worn magnificence I forget cruelty and past betrayal, Careless of where the next bright bolt may fall. FOREWORD am grateful to Philip and Sally Graves, Christopher Hawkes, John Knittel, Valentin Iremonger, Max Mallowan, E. M. Parr, Joshua IPodro, Lynette Roberts, Martin Seymour-Smith, John Heath-Stubbs and numerous correspondents, who have supplied me with source- material for this book: and to Kenneth Gay who has helped me to arrange it. Yet since the first edition appeared in 1946, no expert in ancient Irish or Welsh has offered me the least help in refining my argument, or pointed out any of the errors which are bound to have crept into the text, or even acknowledged my letters.
