The Holbrook Family THE HOLBROOK FAMILY OF DERBY, CONNECTICUT COMPILED BY MARY LOUISE HOLBROOK THE TUTTLE, MOREHOUSE & TAYLOR COMPANY NEW HAVEN, CONNECTICUT 1932 This book is dedicated to my mother, Dothia E. Kimberly Holbrook, who:se interest and encouragement were the reasons for my co1npiling this genealogy. PREFACE From the General Register of descendants of the Early Planters of Sherbon, Hollister and Med,vay, lVIassachusetts, by Reverend Abner Morse, A.M. "Name of Holbrook is ancient and distinguished. In the Eng­ lish world has long since attained wide range. It does not, how­ ever, occur in Dooms Book or Rheimin Foedera. Yet as early as the reign of Richard II one of the name was advanced to the order of Knighthood. "Others with equal claim to distinction must have attained to the same honor, for in books of Heraldry, I find the name dis­ tinguished by nine other coats of arms. Richard Holbrook knighted-coat of arms. Chev. between three Martlets." These badges have their use in an historical point of view as indicating the original and early seats of race. In the mother country they must have been men of character and consideration. Many Holbrooks were early in New England not descending from Thomas of Weymouth. I have succeeded in my own view in reducing them to descendants from a common father, whose name was probably John. They were probably from Weymouth, eight miles from Dor­ chester, England, from whence came the planters of our Dorches­ ter, Massachusetts. Not remote from these towns was a place, a small farm, long afterwards and perhaps still called Holbrook. (1855). In 1644 Dorchester, Massachusetts, was called Rehoboth, now called Milton.

THE HOLBROOK FAMILY OF DERBY, CONNECTICUT FIRST GENERATION 1. RICHARD HOLBROOK, probably the son of John, I find first mentioned as living in Dorchester, Mass., also brothers Thomas, b. about 1627, John, Daniel, Samuel, and Natha_.niel, and sister Mary. May 10, 1648, Richard with William and Daniel Holbrook of Dorchester, took freeman's oath at Springfield, Mass. Apr. 8, 1653, Richard with Robert Williams and Daniel Whithead pur­ chased the first lot of land from the Indians at Huntington, Long Island, near Oyster Bay. There he built the first house and there his son Abel was born, the first white child to be born at Hunting­ ton, Long Island. Feb. 6, 1657 or 58, he moved to Milford where he died 1670. His wife, Agnes, survived him a few years. He had five sons ~nd four daughters, John, Daniel, Israel, Abel, Pelitiah, Abigail, Mary, Hannah, and Patience. By his will I 2 2 find that John , Daniel2, and Abigail were married before his death as he states they had had their portions of his possessions. 2 He was a weaver by trade. I find no mention of No. 2, John , and No. 3, Daniel2, in Milford records. From Dorchester records I find that No. 2, John, b. ---, married Elizabeth Heminway Sept. 24, 1663. Had a son John, b. July 21, 1664. John was a tanner in Roxbury, M~ss., 1667. Living in Dorchester 1671, and d. at Roxbury, Dec. 25, 1678. Children: 4. Abigail2, bapt. 1648; mar.

ABEL HoLBROOK , son of Richard and Agnes Holbrook, b. 1653, the first white child born in Huntington, Long Island. He came to settle in Derby, Conn., Apr. 1675. Was given a grant of land May 13, 1675, situated on Sentinel Hill on what was later known as the Swift farm near the Derby Reservoir. This house stood a little south of the Swift house, on a road long since abandoned as having too steep a grade for comfortable travel, although the distance was shorter and more direct to join the main thoroughfare to Milford. It joined the main road about opposite the gate to Mt. St. Peter's cemetery. His family was one of the first twenty-three to settle in Derby. In 1704 he was granted the privilege of keeping an ordinary or tavern, the first of its kind in Derby, which he kept until 1716. Mar. 20, 1756, a tract of land, one hundred acres on Great Hill, considered unde­ sirable as no one desired to settle upon it, was divided among the original proprietors, as the first settlers were called. This was where his grandson, John's children and grandchildren lived until a few years ago when the land was bought by the Derby Water Company. He attended Church in Milford, going back and forth by horseback until the Church at Derby was started in 1680. Abel Holbrook and Isaac Nichols were chosen the first deacons of the Church. He had a mill for grindjng corn. The millstone now stands on the grounds of the Derby Library as a sundial. He mar. Nov. 20, 1683, Hannah Merwin, b.

  • Mission Studies As Evangelization and Theology for World Christianity
    Mission Studies as Evangelization and Teology for World Christianity Refections on Mission Studies in Britian and Ireland, 2000 - 2015 Kirsteen Kim DOI: 10.7252/Paper. 000051 About the Author Kirsteen Kim, Ph.D., is Professor of Teology and World Christianity at Leeds Trinity University. Kirsteen researches and teaches theology from the perspective of mission and world Christianity, drawing on her experience of Christianity while living and working in South Korea, India and the USA, with a special interest in theology of the Holy Spirit. She publishes widely and is the editor of Mission Studies, the journal of the International Association for Mission Studies. 72 | Mission Studies as Evangelization and Theology for World Christianity Foreword In 2000 and in 2012 I published papers for the British and Irish Association for Mission Studies (BIAMS) on mission studies in Britain and Ireland, which were published in journals of theological education.1 Tese two papers surveyed the state of mission studies and how in this region it is related to various other disciplines. Each paper suggested a next stage in the development of mission studies: the frst saw mission studies as facilitating a worldwide web of missiological discussion; the second suggested that mission studies should be appreciated as internationalizing theology more generally. Tis article reviews the developments in Britain and Ireland over the years which are detailed in these articles and bring them up to date. It further argues that, while continuing to develop as “mission studies” or “missiology”, the discipline should today claim the names “theology for world Christianity” and “studies in evangelization.

  • To the Clergy
    May 2011 To the Clergy Dear Friends I am sending this letter by e-mail rather than by post (except to the four clergy for whom we have no electronic contact details). This is to save staff time, paper and money. I would be grateful for your comments as to whether this would be right for the future). This is also addressed to the clergy of the Yaxley Deanery of Ely Diocese: not by way of claiming any episcopal rights south of the River Nene, but simply to keep them in touch with what is going on in Peterborough Diocese. In this Easter season I hope you are refreshed, both as a result of a break from routine and also through celebrating our Lord’s resurrection with your people. Of course we celebrate the resurrection every Sunday, but I find the focus on it in this great 50 day season to be joyful and invigorating. New life and new beginnings must always be at the heart of our faith. Comings and Goings New beginnings usually follow endings which may not be quite so easy. Next month we will welcome John Holbrook and his family as he becomes our new suffragan bishop. I am confident that John will be an excellent and much loved bishop, but losing Frank and Alison White last year was not easy. Shortly we will be interviewing for a new diocesan secretary: Richard Pestell will be retiring in the summer or early autumn. Then David Painter retires as Archdeacon of Oakham at the end of October: we will begin the search for his successor quite soon.

  • Porvoo Prayer Diary 2021
    PORVOO PRAYER DIARY 2021 The Porvoo Declaration commits the churches which have signed it ‘to share a common life’ and ‘to pray for and with one another’. An important way of doing this is to pray through the year for the Porvoo churches and their Dioceses. The Prayer Diary is a list of Porvoo Communion Dioceses or churches covering each Sunday of the year, mindful of the many calls upon compilers of intercessions, and the environmental and production costs of printing a more elaborate list. Those using the calendar are invited to choose one day each week on which they will pray for the Porvoo churches. It is hoped that individuals and parishes, cathedrals and religious orders will make use of the Calendar in their own cycle of prayer week by week. In addition to the churches which have approved the Porvoo Declaration, we continue to pray for churches with observer status. Observers attend all the meetings held under the Agreement. The Calendar may be freely copied or emailed for wider circulation. The Prayer Diary is updated once a year. For corrections and updates, please contact Ecumenical Officer, Maria Bergstrand, Ms., Stockholm Diocese, Church of Sweden, E-mail: [email protected] JANUARY 3/1 Church of England: Diocese of London, Bishop Sarah Mullally, Bishop Graham Tomlin, Bishop Pete Broadbent, Bishop Rob Wickham, Bishop Jonathan Baker, Bishop Ric Thorpe, Bishop Joanne Grenfell.
