CALL / CAULE
Thomas Call, my 9th great grandfather, was born
in Faversham, Kent England in 1597. He
arrived in Massachusetts with his wife, Bennett, and three children on the ship
Hercules in 1637. He went on to have six
more children. He built his home on beside
the Mystic River in Charlestown, about two and half miles from Bunker Hill. His
second wife, Joanna, was the widow of Daniel Shepardson. Thomas Call was a baker, and so was his son,
John, who married Hannah Kettell. One
of his sons, Thomas, Jr , married his step-sister Lydia Shepardson.
In the next generation John Call, my 8th great
grandfather, John Call was less than one year old when his family arrived in
Massachusetts from England. He fought in
King Phillip’s War. He was admitted to
the church on 29 April 1662 and became a deacon of the First Church in
Charlestown. His wife was the daughter
of Richard Kettell, an ancestor of Henry David Thoreau.
To read about the early generations of Calls in
Massachusetts you can check the Bicentennial Book of Malden by A. W.
McClure, 1850, page 240 has a short sketch of Thomas Call. There is also a short sketch of Thomas Call in
A
Genealogical Dictionary of the First Settlers of New England, by James
Savage, 1969, Volume 1, pages 329 - 330.

My husband's 4th great-grandmother was Mary CALL, born 1752 in MA and died in Haverhill, Essex, MA on 10 Jul 1830. She married John WHITE. I don't know where she was born or her parents' names. Maybe you can check your records to see if you have a Mary Call born in 1752 in one of your lateral lines?
ReplyDeleteTeresa, as you can see, my CALL lineage daughtered out very early. Perhaps you could check the Malden book for more CALLs (I only copied the pages with my lineage). Or a good history of Charlestown?
