  • Edward Bangs: His Arrival in Plymouth Edward Bangs Arrived in Plymouth on the Anne in 1623
    Edward Bangs: his arrival in Plymouth Edward Bangs arrived in Plymouth on the Anne in 1623. Governor William Bradford tells of the ship’s arrival in Plymouth: "About fourteen days after came in this ship, called the Anne, whereof Mr. William Peirce was master; and about a week or ten days after came in the pinnace which, in foul weather, they lost at sea, a fine, new vessel of about 44 tun, which the Company had built to stay in the country. They brought about 60 persons for the General, some of them being very useful persons and became good members to the body; and some were the wives and children of such as were here already." William Bradford, Of Plymouth Plantation 1620-1647, ed. Samuel Eliot Morison (New York: Knopf, 1991), p. 127. Edward Bangs & the 1623 Division of Land The 1623 Division of Land marked the end of the Pilgrims' earliest system of land held in common by all. Governor Bradford explains it in this way: "And so assigned to every family a parcel of land, according to the proportion of their number, for that end, only for present use (but made no division for inheritance) and ranged all boys and youth under some family. This had very good success, for it made all hands very industrious, so as much more corn was planted than otherwise would have been by any means the Governor or any other could use, and saved him a great deal of trouble, and gave far better content. The women now went willingly into the field, and took their little ones with them to set corn; which before would allege weakness and inability; whom to have compelled would have been thought great tyranny and oppression." William Bradford, Of Plymouth Plantation 1620-1647, ed.

    Predicting the Location of the Original Plymouth Village, Its Extent, and Its Houses PARP May 2016 Of Plymouth Plantation: Predicting the Location of the Original Plymouth Village, Its Extent, and Its Houses Craig S. Chartier Plymouth Archaeological Rediscovery Project Even before arriving in Plymouth, the colonists must have had a plan, at least in their minds, of what the settlement was to look like and this plan would have influenced where they actually settled. Requirements for their village site would have included enough level space to erect houses, probably within a protective enclosure, and a defensible blockhouse/ meeting house/ court of guard (similar to what we know that the settlers at Wessagussett erected upon their arrival in 1622). There were two prominent features in the area that became Plymouth: the brook and the hill (also called “The Mount”). They decided that this would be their place of settlement (versus settling on Clark's Island or further north at the Jones River) “...we came to a conclusion, by most voices, to set on the main land, on the first place, on a high ground, where there is a great deal of land cleared, and hath been planted with corn three or four years ago; and there is a very sweet brook runs under the hill side, and many delicate springs of as good water as can be drunk, and where we may harbour our shallops and boats exceedingly well; and in this brook good fish in their seasons; on the further side of the river there is much corn ground cleared.

  • Mr John Done: Who Was He? the Origins and Ancestry of Deacon John Done
    MR JOHN DONE: WHO WAS HE? THE ORIGINS AND ANCESTRY OF DEACON JOHN DONE Report prepared by Derek Done, Chairman of the Deacon John Done Research Committee PART 1 - THE PAPER TRAIL Research - Pre 2002 In 1972, Dr Gilbert H. Doane asked the question “Mr. John Done: who was he?” (DFA 1972 Reunion Proceedings). Four years later, he returned to this theme with his report “Clues to the Identity of Mr. John Done” (DFA 1976 Reunion Proceedings), presenting the results of his research into this question and identifying five clues that he considered offered the best chance of finding out more about John Done before he arrived in America. These clues were identified as: 1. In one deed, there was a reference to John Done, “gentleman tayler”. (Was this the Deacon?); 2. Several places in England are named Eastham or East Ham. (Did the Deacon name the new settlement of Eastham after his birthplace in England?); 3. John Donne of St Benet, Gracechurch Street, London was a puritan pastor whose daughter Mary married John Warren, who may have been the John Warren who was an early settler in Plymouth Colony. John Donne had a son named Daniel. (Does this suggest a link with the Deacon?); 4. The name John Done occurs several times in a series of law suits surrounding the inheritance of a wealthy London property owner – John Done “whitebaker” (Was the John Done who laid claim to his estate the man who later became the Deacon?); 5. In 1635, John Done of Duddon in Cheshire took an oath of allegiance to the King, a step required for those planning to leave the country.

  • THE ORIGINS of the TOWN of ORLEANS Ron Petersen – Author/Historian
    THE ORIGINS OF THE TOWN OF ORLEANS Ron Petersen – Author/Historian In the Beginning Native Americans were the first settlers of the land that became Orleans, and had lived here from the earliest of time. The predominant tribe east of the Bass River was the Nausets, an Algonquian tribe subject in some respects to the chief sachem of the Wampanoag. European explorers and fishermen, known and unknown, had been visiting the area at least from the 15th Century. Three years after Bartholomew Gosnold gave Cape Cod its name, in 1602, French explorer Samuel de Champlain sailed into what is now known as Nauset Harbor in 1605. In his narrative of his voyage, Champlain wrote: The next day, the 20th of the month, we went to the place which our men had seen, and which we found a very dangerous harbor in consequence of the shoals and banks, where we saw breakers in all directions. It was almost low tide when we entered, and there were only four feet of water in the northern passage; at high tide, there are two fathoms. After we had entered, we found the place very spacious, being perhaps three or four leagues in circuit, entirely surrounded by little houses, around each one of which there was as much land as the occupant needed for his support…….It would be a very fine place if the harbor were good…….Many savages, men and women, visited us, and ran up on all sides dancing…..We named this place Port de Mallebare. This early visit to what became Orleans is commemorated by a historical marker, placed by the Orleans Bicentennial Commission in 1976.
