Surname Saturday – Updated DEARBORN of Exeter and Hampton, New Hampshire

I previously blogged about my DEARBORN ancestors here:  https://nutfieldgenealogy.blogspot.com/2016/01/surname-saturday-dearborn-of-exeter-and.html  

This lineage has changed due to new findings. I didn’t lose my DEARBORN connections when I found the correct parents of Jonathan Batchelder (about 1800 – 1847), since my new research has found a new lineage back to Godfrey Dearborn.  (See my blog post “A New BATCHELDER lineage” at this link: https://nutfieldgenealogy.blogspot.com/2018/09/surname-saturday-new-batchelder-lineage.html 

Godfrey Dearborn, a weaver from Hannah, Lincolnshire, signed Reverend Wheelwright’s Combination at Exeter, New Hampshire in 1639.  Around 1648 he removed from Exeter to Hampton and settled in the West End. His house was built on 73 Exeter Road in North Hampton.   His wife, “Goody Dearbarn”, was a member of the Hampton meetinghouse in 1650 and given a pew.  He had six children, mentioning “three daughters” in his will, and his sons Thomas, Henry and John by name.

Godfrey Dearborn had several famous descendants including General Henry Dearborn (1751 – 1829) of the Revolutionary War who also served as Secretary of War under President Thomas Jefferson.    The city of Dearborn, Michigan was named for General Dearborn, as well as Fort Dearborn (1803) in Chicago. During World War II another Fort Dearborn was established in what is now Odiorne Point State Park in New Hampshire.   

General Dearborn had a son, Henry Alexander Scammell Dearborn (1783 – 1851) who was an Adjutant General of Massachusetts and a Massachusetts statesman.  He wrote many books on botany and was the first president of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society.

Surname Saturday ~ LOCKE of Rye, New Hampshire

The Locke Burial Ground at Locke's Neck, on Locke Road in Rye, New Hampshire

LOCKE

John Locke is a famous figure on the seacoast of New Hampshire.  His land and the family burial ground are marked with historical plaques from both the state of New Hampshire and the Locke Family Association.  His sword and scythe are on display at the New Hampshire Historical Society museum.  The history of Rye, New Hampshire has pages of information on his life, his infamous death, and his progeny. There are so many descendants that a compiled genealogy takes up two volumes, and additions and supplemental information are discussed at length every year at the annual Locke Family Reunion. This year will be the 126^th annual Locke Family Reunion, “traditionally held on the third Saturday of August to commemorate the death of our progenitor, Captain John Locke” (LFA website, http://www.lockefamilyassociation.org/reunions.html )

Outside of New Hampshire, and outside of the family, John Locke is an unknown figure in American History.  So I will tell his story here in an abridged version…

John Locke is probably the son of Thomas Locke and Christina French, baptized in London at Whitechapel in 1627.  He immigrated to New Hampshire about 1644 and went to Dover, New Castle, Sagamore Creek and then in 1665 he went to Hampton (now the part that is the town of Rye).  It is thought that he framed the first meetinghouse in Portsmouth about 1645. 

The Hampton records state “John Locke Senior was killed by the Heathen in his lott at work upon 26 August 1696.  An 1801 sermon by Rev. Porter of Rye said “In 1694 John Locke being at Locke’s Neck was ambushed and killed by the Indians as he was reaping grain in his field”.  Rev. John Pike’s journal has “Lieutenant Locke was slain by the Indians at Sandy Beach, 25 August 1696”. 

In the book History and Genealogy of Captain John Locke (1627 – 1696), 1916, there is a long description of how Locke was despised by the native people for foiling several attempts to attack Hampton.  In 1696 eight native men came upon him reaping salt hay with his scythe. They mortally wounded him, but not before he cut off the nose of one of the attackers.  One of the sons witnessed the murder, and spent years searching for the Indian without a nose.  Several grandsons are credited with avenging the death of Captain Locke by murdering an Indian (with or without a nose). 

I descend from the oldest son, John Locke, Jr. (1654 – 1733), my 8^th great grandfather, who inherited his father’s land at Locke’s Neck.  He sold all his land to his son, John, my 7^th great grandfather.  Locke’s Neck is now a very expensive neighborhood in Rye, with beautiful waterfront properties, and it’s entrance is graced by the two memorial plaques to Captain John Locke.  This last John Locke had a wife, Sarah, and seven children.  Sarah and four of the children all died in 1736 in the throat distemper epidemic (diphtheria).  The maiden names of the Elizabeth (my 8th great grandmother) and Sarah (my 7th great grandmother) are both unknown.

Surname Saturday ~ BLAKE of Hampton, New Hampshire

People much more experienced at genealogical research have been searching records in England and New England for the origins of Jasper Blake and his wife, Deborah Everard.  I’ve never seen such bunk online pertaining to a New England family, and it appears that all those online reporters never pick up a genealogical journal.  Not only was this family researched through many journals, but they were researched by some of the best genealogists out there including George Sanborn and Melinda Lutz (Sanborn) now Byrne.   These articles are not new, but were written back in 1999.  No excuses for those too lazy to look outside of the internet for information on the BLAKE, EVERARD and DALTON families.

These articles used the extended family of Rev. Timothy Dalton (1577 – 1661) to piece together the kinships of three Dalton immigrant siblings, including Sarah Dalton (1595 – 1630), the mother of Deborah Everard (1628 – 1678), wife of Jasper Blake.  In an article in the NEHGS NEXUS, Volume 16, page 199 “Great Migration Diary” by Melinde Lutz Sanborn she bemoans the fact that Rev. Timothy Dalton, although he was a prominent person, was missing many documents, and “Not only was Rev. Timothy’s hand a reprehensible scrawl, he barely bothered to record his own children and seems to have missed his sister’s burial.”

With seasoned genealogists having problems tracing this family, and with the internet making a further tangle of the extended family, I spend a long time preparing this Surname Saturday post- including starting over with this entire branch and updating lots of dates and kinships.  I hadn’t looked at this lineage in over 20 years, and it was worth poking around to see that a lot of work had already been done on the English origins of the EVERARD family.  Stay tuned for a Surname Saturday on the EVERARDs soon at this blog.

Jasper Blake, my 9^th great grandfather, probably arrived in New England with his wife’s uncle, the Reverend Timothy Dalton, who came to Hampton replace the aged Rev. Stephen Bachiller (who is also my 10^th great grandfather.   The first record he left on the books was his signature on a 1647 deed for Rev. Dalton.  Later, he received a 100 acre farm from Rev. Dalton as a gift to his “loving kinsman”.  This was a big clue to the surname of Jasper’s wife, who is an EVERARD, not a DALTON.   George F. Sanborn, Jr. and Melinde Lutz Sanborn puzzled out the relationships in a lengthy article “The Dalton Cluster: Timothy Dalton, Philemon Dalton, Richard Everard and Deborah (Everard) Blake” published in the New England Historical and Genealogical Register, Volume 154, see pages 276 and 277 for the Blake family.

Jasper Blake was described in records as a mariner, and as a farmer.  A deed named him as a fisherman.   It has not been proven that he was from the BLAKE family of Wimbotsham, Norfolk, England, which had many family members named “Jasper Blake”. 

Philemon Blake (1671 – after 1741), my 8^th great grandfather,  was one of the original signers of the covenant that organized the Hampton Falls church in 1712.  He served in King William’s War in 1690 and Queen Ann’s War in 1709.  He owned land in Chester, New Hampshire.   His daughter, Elizabeth Blake (born 1699) married Samuel Lane in 1722 in Hampton Falls.

Margaret UNKNOWN – Or, how exploring all the allied branches of the family tree told me more about my 10th Great Grandmother

Her name was Margaret.  Or Margery.  It was spelled both ways in the records.  Like so many other women in my family tree, no one has yet uncovered her maiden name.  She was born about 1609 in England, probably in the town of Ormsby, Norfolk where she was married to Thomas Webster, my 10^th great grandfather.  He died on 30 April 1634 leaving her a widow with a small son, Thomas Webster, Jr., my 9^th great grandfather, and pregnant with another son, who died within two days of his baptism later that same year on 1 August 1634 in Ormsby.  Margaret’s story starts out as a tragedy.

This is not the end of her story…

Margaret remarried about 1638 in Ormsby to William Godfrey.  He took his new wife and step son across the Atlantic to the new colony of Massachusetts, where he was a resident of Watertown.  He and Margaret had two children born in Watertown, before removing to Hampton, New Hampshire where his daughter, Deborah, my 9^th great grandmother was born.  Yes, Margaret was the mother of two of my ancestors in different lineages.

But, that is not the end of her story…

You see, one of Margery's children born in Watertown, Massachusetts was Isaac Godfrey (my 9^th great grand uncle).  He grew up and married Hannah Marrian in Hampton on 15 July 1670.  Her parents were John and Sarah Marrian of Hampton.  John and Sara Marrian were my 10^th great grandparents through Sarah’s sister, Elizabeth.  Elizabeth married Henry Dearborn on 10 January 1666 in Hampton, my 9th great grandparents.

Why is this important?

Well, John Marrian was widowed when his wife, Sarah, died on 26 January 1670/71 in Hampton.  Who did John Marrian remarry?  His daughter’s mother-in-law- - Margery (UNKNOWN) WEBSTER GODFREY. 

This makes Margery my 10^th great grandmother in three different lineages.  She died on 2 May 1687 in Hampton, New Hampshire, and was probably mourned by children and grandchildren from all three families.

It’s pretty cool that this woman doesn’t even have a known maiden name, but I know so much about her extended family!  In studying her children’s marriages, and the families of the parents-in-law, I was able to piece together the relationship between all three of her husbands.  Through extending my research another few generations in all directions I was able to see how these families all knew each other.

Super grandmother!

This story was posted for Women’s History Month, and also in response to a blog meme request by Janice Webster Brown, the author of the “Cow Hampshire” blog.  Janice has posted a request for bloggers and writers to join her in writing about women and ancestresses in New Hampshire history.

I think my 10^th great grandmother, Margaret, fits this request.  Three times over!

Surname Saturday ~ GARLAND of Charlestown, Massachusetts and Hampton, New Hampshire

Charlestown, Massachusetts

GARLAND

The first immigrant ancestor in this line may be “Peter the Mariner” Garland, my 10^th great grandfather.  His origins are unknown.  He lived in Charlestown, Massachusetts and sailed ships between Massachusetts and Virginia.  According to the compiled Garland genealogy (see below), he “died in the South while on a voyage” about 1687.  He had requested his sons to take his body North (New Hampshire?) for burial, but his coffin was washed overboard during a storm.  Peter Garland lived in land bounded by Edward Converse, my 9^th great grandfather on my paternal side.  His name is mentioned in early Charlestown records and in Note-book Kept by Thomas Lechford, Esq. Lawyer, in Boston, Massachusetts Bay, from June 27, 1638 to July 29, 1641, by Edward Everett Hale, 1885, where on pages 60 – 61 you can find this note which also mentions my 9^th great grandfather Isaac Allerton, Mayflower passenger:

“Thomas Beech, I pray you to pay unto my good friend, Mr. Isaac Allerton, above somme of thirty-three pounds four shillings and six pence.  And I further desire you to demand, recover and receive for me the above somme £6 3s 6d of the same partys, who owe the same unto me, and upon payment, give them acquittance, which when you have received, pay over to my said friend, Mr. Isaac Allerton, according to my Letter of Attorney to him made the Date hereof in that behalf.

Witness my hand the twenty-nynth of March, Anno Dni, 1639

(Signed)     PETER GARLAND”

Peter’s son, John Garland, is my 9^th great grandfather removed to Exeter, New Hampshire where he was recorded in 1650.  By 1653 he was taxed in Hampton.  His son, Peter Garland, my 8^th great grandfather, was a mariner like his namesake, and made weekly trips between Boston and Hampton on a packet.  His sloop was named after his wife, Sarah Taylor.  The records also show vessels named Nonesuch, New Design and Adventure.  His son, John Garland, my 7^th great grandfather, removed to Rye and owned land in Hampton, Portsmouth, Gilmanton, Nottingham and Barrington.  John was a representative to the General Assembly in 1737 and served at Fort William and Mary in 1708.  

Notable descendant:  Senator Bill Frist of Tennesee, who is also a heart and lung transplant surgeon [ see http://www.wargs.com/political/frist.html ]

Surname Saturday ~ MARRIAN of Watertown, Massachusetts and Hampton, New Hampshire

MARRIAN/MARION/MARIAN

John Marrian settled in Hampton, New Hampshire where was listed as a proprietor and bought his first piece of land in 1645.  In 1646 he was granted two more acres by the town.  By 1671 he deeded land to the husbands of his daughters Elizabeth and Hannah, and in 1681 he deeded more land to his sons-in-law in exchange for their providing for himself and his second wife for the rest of their lives. 

It is thought that John Marrian was an early settler in Watertown.  Torrey’s New England Marriages have a marriage for John Marian and his wife Sarah pulled from the Genealogical Dictionary of Maine and New Hampshire, page 458.  This states that Sarah’s name was Sarah EDDY (unconfirmed).  He remarried to Margery, the widow of William Godfrey.  John Marrian’s daughter Hannah married his stepson, Isaac Godfrey.  I descend from his other daughter, Elizabeth, who married Henry Dearborn in 1666. 

There was an early shoemaker in Boston named John Marrian, but it is unknown if there was a kinship between the two men. 

More MARRIAN resources:

John Marrian is not mentioned in Hollick’s New Englanders in the 1600s, nor in Anderson’s Great  Migration series or directory.   Your best resources would be the Watertown and Hampton vital records and town histories, and the Genealogical Dictionary of Maine and New Hampshire by Noyes, Libby and Davis. I couldn’t find a recent article (nor an old one) on the MARRIAN family in the NEHGS database. 

My MARRIAN lineage:

Generation 1:  John Marrian, died about 1681 in Hampton, New Hampshire; married in Watertown to Sarah Unknown who died 26 January 1670/1 in Hampton (five children); married on 14 September 1671 in Hampton to Margery Unknown, widow of Deacon William Godfrey (no children).

Generation 2:  Elizabeth Marrian, probably born in Watertown, died 6 July 1716 in Hampton; married on 10 January 1666 to Henry Dearborn, son of Godfrey Dearborn.  He was baptized on 22 March 1633/4 and died 18 January 1725 in Hampton.  Seven children, and I descend from two of them.

Godfrey Dearborn had several famous descendants including General Henry Dearborn (1751 – 1829) of the Revolutionary War who also served as Secretary of War under President Thomas Jefferson.    The city of Dearborn, Michigan was named for General Dearborn, as well as Fort Dearborn (1803) in Chicago. During World War II another Fort Dearborn was established in what is now Odiorne Point State Park in New Hampshire.   

General Dearborn had a son, Henry Alexander Scammell Dearborn (1783 – 1851) who was an Adjutant General of Massachusetts and a Massachusetts statesman.  He wrote many books on botany and was the first president of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society.

Surname Saturday ~ NUDD of Hampton, New Hampshire

The NUDD memorial at Founder's Park in Hampton, New Hampshire

NUDD

Thomas Nudd (1629 – 1713), my 9^th great grandfather, arrived in the New World with his stepfather, Henry Down, in 1637.  His widowed mother, Joan, had married Henry Dow in Ormsby, Norlk, England on 11 February 1631, as his first wife.  Henry immigrated with his three children, Thomas Nudd (step son), Thomas Dow and Henry Dow.  He settled first in Watertown, where his wife, and Thomas’s mother, died.  Henry Dow remarried in 1643 to Margaret Cole and removed to Hampton, New Hampshire by 1644.  Henry Dow made a gift of ten acres to Thomas Nudd “in fulfillment of a promise made to his wife at the time of their marriage”.    

There was also a Thomas Nudd who came to Hampton and married Mary Moulton, and an Abigail Nudd who married Robert Marston of Hampton.  It is not known if these other Nudd settlers were kin to my ancestor Thomas Nudd.

Thomas Nudd married Sarah Dearborn, the daughter of early settler Godfrey Dearborn.  They had seven children, including my 8^th great grandmother, Hannah (1678 – 1751) who married Francis Page and had ten children.

It is also prudent to read about Thomas Nudd and his Dow stepfamily in The Book of Dow: Genealogical Memoirs of the Descendants of Henry Dow, by Robert Percy Dow, 1929

My NUDD genealogy:

Generation 1:  Thomas Nudd, son of Roger Nudd and Joan Unknown, baptized 6 January 1629 in Ormsby, Norfolk, England, died 31 January 1713 in Hampton, New Hampshire; married about 1660 in Hampton to Sarah Dearborn, daughter of Godfrey Dearborn.  She was born about 1641 and died 21 August 1714.

----------------

Stephen Bachiler, my 11^th great grandfather,  graduated from St. John’s College in Oxford, England in 1585 and became the vicar of the Church of the Holy Cross and St. Peter in Wherwell, Hampshire, England.  He was a “non-conformist” and was dismissed from his church.  In 1608 he went to Leyden, Holland with the separatists.  He came to New England on 5 June 1632 on board the ship William and Francis.  He was over 70 years old at the time, and traveled with some of his grandchildren.   Of his own children, only two daughters, Theodate Hussey and Deborah Wing, later came to New England.

First he went to Lynn, where he was the first minister, from August 1632 until 1636.  Then he was in Yarmouth, on Cape Cod, in 1637 and Newbury in 1638.  From 1638 until 1641 he lived at Hampton, New Hampshire where he founded another church.  He separated from his wife, Mary, and asked the court for a divorce, and then, about age 93, he left for England.  The court records in York show her being branded with the letter A on 15 October 1651, for adultery.  The Reverend Bachiler died nearly 100 years old in London and was buried on 31 October 1656.

Another one of my 9^th great grandfathers, Rev. Samuel Skelton (1623 – 1695), the first minister at Salem, Massachusetts, said of Rev. Bachiler “Little has come down to us concerning him,  owing, it is said, to the fact that he differed about clerical associations and other subjects from most of the principal persons in Massachusetts."   He was a follower of the “Old Puritan” religion, and the new 17^th century form of Puritanism in the New World was different from the Jacobean form.  Perhaps this is why he wandered around New England and settled in New Hampshire, away from the Puritan authorities.

There are many other stories and interesting associations between the Rev. Stephen Bachiler and other early settlers and ministers in New England. There are too many stories to tell them all here in a short blog post. Please see some of the sources listed below if you would like more information on his life.
