REDMAN / REDMANN / REDMOND / READMAN / RODMAN
My 10th great grandfather, John Redman (about
1620 – 1700), is of unknown origins and his birthdate is unknown, too. He was a blacksmith who settled in Hampton,
New Hampshire. He first appeared in the
records around 1642. He also testified
in the witchcraft trial of Eunice Cole on 4 September 1656, along with Abraham
Perkins (my 1st cousin 12
generations removed).
John married Margaret Knight as his first wife. She was the daughter of Robert Knight and
Margaret Grimsley early settlers at York, Maine. She died in 1658 after giving him four
children, and he remarried to Sabina Page, the widow of Captain William
Marston. I descend from their only
daughter, Mary, who married immigrant Leonard Weeks, and had eight
children. They lived in Greenland, New
Hampshire.
