Surname Saturday ~ HAMBLEN of Cape Cod, Massachusetts

HAMBLEN / HAMBLEN / HAMLEN / HAMLIN

James Hamblen, my 9^th great grandfather,  first appears in Barnstable, Massachusetts in 1639 with his wife Anne.  His birth, parents and origins are unknown.  His children were baptized in Barnstable, except for his two eldest who do not appear on the record (perhaps they were born in England?)  He became a freeman in 1642 and signed his will on 23 January 1683, naming his wife Anne, his sons James, John, Eleazer, Israel, and Bartholomew; and daughters Hannah, and Sarah.

I descend from John Hamblin (1644 – 1718), my 8^th great grandfather.  He received much of his father’s real estate.  His land was known as “Hamblen’s Plain” in West Barnstable.  I descend through his son, Benjamin (1687 – 1718), my 7^th great grandfather. He died young and his widow, Hope Huckins (a descendant of Mayflower passengers John Howland and Elizabeth Tilley), remarried to Ebenezer Childs.

This is another family that was lucky to descend from a Mayflower passenger.  Much of the genealogy of this family has been preserved in the book Mayflower Families through five generations, Volume 23, Part One: John Howland, GSMD. 

A notable descendant was Hannibal Hamlin (1809 – 1891) of Maine, the 15^th vice president of the United states under Abraham Lincoln.

Surname Saturday ~ BEARSE of Cape Cod

BEARSE /  BEARCE /  BIERCE /  BEARS / etc.

My 9^th great grandfather, Augustin (AKA Austin) Bearse (1618 – 1686) arrived on the ship Confidence from Southampton, England on 24 April 1638.  He came to Barnstable on Capt Cod with the first settlers in 1639, and had a twelve acre house lot bounded by John Crocker and Isaac Robinson (another one of my 9^th great grandfathers).  He joined Rev. Lothrop’s church in Barnstable in 1643.  The road from the town of Hyannis to his land was known as “Bearse’s Way”, and is now Bearse Road, near Iannough Road at the Airport Rotary.  He was made a freeman in 1652.

Augustine Bearse’s name is at the head of the list of members of Rev. Lothrop’s church.  His wife was Mary, and they had eleven children, with baptisms all recorded at the Barnstable church on the first Sunday after their birth.  These babies include who was carried 2 miles to church at 2 day old in the cold of January for his baptism.  Apparently he was a very devout Puritan to want to save the souls of his children so promptly.  These are the facts we know about him from primary source material.  He was living in 1686, but dead sometime before 1697. There is no death record for Augustine Bearse.

Most of the compiled genealogy books and local histories of Barnstable written up until the 20^th century repeat these simple facts about Augustine Bearse.  Then another story began to emerge that described Augustine Bearse as a Gypsy, who had to leave England because of his Romany origins, so he came to Massachusetts.  No Puritan woman would marry him, so he married “Mary Hyanno”, the daughter of the sachem Iannough (Hyannis), who was a red headed princess with Viking blood.  Yes, these fantastic details were told and repeated about the Bearse family in several books, journals and online. 

These stories originated with a paper written in the 1930s by Frankin Bearse, also known as Ele-watum, “From Out of the Past – Who Our Forefathers Really Were, A True Narrative of our White and Indian Ancestors” who filed this with the State of Connecticut to obtain benefits as an American Indian.   These claims were based on a diary written by a Zerviah Newcombe, a descendant of Augustine Bearse.

“Austin Bearse and His Alleged Indian Connections”, by Donald Lines Jacobus, The American Genealogist, 1938,  Volume 15, pages 111 - 118  rejects these claims of an Indian marriage, based on the fact that the supposed diary of Zerviah Newcomb has never been examined, and is perhaps false. No record of this diary has ever been found.  Jacobus wrote 8 pages in TAG refuting each detail of the Indian and Gypsy story written by Franklin Bearse.

Even so, the Indian princess story continued to flourish.  You can read about it in books like Bearse-Bears-Barss Family: Genealogy of Augustine Bearse (1618 – 1697) and Princess Mary Hyanno (1625 – 1702) of Barnstable, Massachusetts, by Dale L. Burley, 1979.  This myth of Mary Hyanno, “the flame haired princess of the Wampanoags”, is even repeated in a 2005 book Kindred Spirits: A New World History of the Families of Henry Wickoff Rogers & Grace Dean McLeod, by Geordon Hartt Rogers.   The genealogy of the descendants of Augustine and Mary Bearse is accurate in these books, but the origins of the original immigrant husband and his native wife are lacking in evidence.

However, there is an interesting essay in the NEHGS journal NEXUS, 1985, Volume 2, pages 95 -96, “Keeping an Open Mind” by Rev. Robert J. Good, Jr.  This essay about Austin Bearse and his supposed Wampanoag wife refutes some of the claims made by Jacobus.  “We tend to take the word of those who have rightly earned a position as unassailable as Jacobus’s.  Yet there are mysteries like this one which continue to haunt us and remain unresolved.  They require that we make our own decisions.”  Rev. Good makes several good points about mixed marriages during the 1600s in Massachusetts between the Puritans and the native people.  It was not as improbable as Jacobus imagined. 

I encourage you to read ALL these journal articles, and the primary source material, before making up your own mind.

Surname Saturday ~ HUCKINS of Barnstable, Massachusetts

HUCKINS / HUGGINS / HUTCHINS

Thomas Huckins, my 9^th great grandfather, first appears as a member of the “Military Company of Massachusetts” muster roll in 1637 in Boston.  In 1659 this company became known as “The Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company of Massachusetts”, which still exists.  He was the 6^th man  (out of 23 original members) to sign the muster in 1638, and was an ensign in 1639.

By 1640 he removed to Barnstable on Cape Cod as one of the first settlers in town.  He was a freeman in Barnstable in 1647 and was granted a house lot in 1661. Over the years he held many civil positions including tax collector,  representative to the General Court, selectman, and a member of the Council of War in 1671.  He was in the military expedition to Kingston, Rhode Island in December 1675.

Thomas Huckins was a member of Rev. Lothrop’s church.  In 1642 he married first to Mary Wells, who died in July 1648.  His second wife was the widow Rose Hyllier, who was my 9^th great grandmother.  He was accused of abusing a servant, but no fine was paid.

Thomas died at sea in 1679 when his vessel sank with his son, Joseph Huckins aboard, too. The records read “Mr. Thomas Huckens was cast away ye 9 of Nvemb 1679 & died in ye 62 year of is age. His Son Joseph Lost with him at ye Same time aged 24 years 1679”  [“Barnstable Mass Vital Records”, Mayflower Descendant, Volume 6, No. 3, July 1904].

Thomas Huckins, Jr., my 8^th great grandfather, was a carpenter and farmer in Barnstable.  He married Hannah Chipman in 1680 as his first wife (my 8^th great grandmother), and took a second wife, Sarah Pope, widow of Samuel Hinckley in 1698. His daughter, Hope Huckins (1689 – after 1730), is my 7^th great grandmother, who lived in Barnstable with her husband, Benjamin Hamblin, and had four children, and two more children with her second husband, Ebenezer Childs.

President Rutherford B. Hayes was a descendant of Thomas Huckins.

Surname Saturday ~ CHIPMAN of Cape Cod, Massachusetts

CHIPMAN

John Chipman, my 9^th great grandfather, arrived in New England on 14 July 1631 aboard the ship Friendship, with his uncle Richard Derby, from Devonshire, England when he was about 16 years old.  He married Hope Howland, daughter of Mayflower passengers John Howland and Elizabeth Tilley, in 1646.  John Chipman became a member of the church at Barnstable, Massachusetts on 30 June 1653, and his wife joined on 7 August 1650.

He bought a homestead in Barnstable in 1649, the year he became a freeman. He removed to West Barnstable in 1659 and bought land from his brother-in-law, Lt. John Howland in 1672. He was a representative to the General Court in 1663-5, and again in 1668-9, selectman in 1665-8, and on the Council of War in 1667.  He was granted 100 acres between Taunton and Titicut in 1669 for his service. 

John and Hope Chipman had twelve children.  When Hope died in 1684, John remarried to Ruth Sargent, widow of both Jonathan Winslow and Richard Bourne.  She outlived John by two years.  He died in 1709 and she died in 1711.  I descend from John and Hope’s fifth child, Hannah Chipman (1659 – 1696), my 8^th great grandmother, who married Thomas Huckins in 1680.  Hope died a few months after giving birth to her ninth child.  Their daughter Hope Huckins (1689 – after 1730) is my 7^th great grandmother.

Surname Saturday ~ HOWLAND, A Mayflower Passenger

The Jabez Howland House in Plymouth, Massachusetts
home of John Howland's son. 

John Howland is my 11^th and 10^th great grandfather because I descend from two of his daughters. He was the famous passenger on board the Mayflower in 1620 who almost lost his life when he fell overboard during a storm.  Thankfully, he was saved with a rope and a boat hook, thus ensuring thousands, and perhaps millions of descendants.   The only first person account of this event reads that “a lusty young man called John Howland, coming upon some occasion above the gratings was, with a seele of the ship, thrown into the sea; but it pleased God that he caught hold of the topsail halyards which hung overboard and ran out at length. Yet he held his hold (though he was sundry fathoms under water) till he was hauled up by the same rope to the brim of the water, and then with boat hook and other means got into the ship again and his life saved. And though he was something ill with it, yet he lived many years after and became a profitable member both in church and commonwealth." [from Of Plymouth Plantation by William Bradford]

The Mayflower passengers are among some of the most studied and researched immigrants to America, and you can read much about them in books, scholarly journals and online.  I will summarize some of that research in a few paragraphs, and list some of the best genealogical sources below. John Howland was a cooper, who came aboard the Mayflower as a young servant to John Carver, the first governor of the Plymouth Colony.  He was one of the 41 men who signed the Mayflower Compact, and he is buried on Burial Hill in Plymouth, Massachusetts.

John Howland was married about 1623 to Elizabeth Tilley, who was only about fifteen during her passage to Plymouth on board the Mayflower.  Elizabeth’s parents, John Tilley and Joan Hurst died that first winter in New England, 1620 – 1621, and Governor Carver became her guardian.  However, Governor Carver, died in April 1621 and his wife died in May 1621, which made John Howland the head of the Carver household, which included Mrs. Carver’s daughter Desire Minter (by her first marriage).  John and Elizabeth Howland named their first child (my ancestor) after Desire (see below).

John and Elizabeth Howland raised ten children at their home in Rocky Nook, which was part of Plymouth but is now in the town of Kingston, Massachusetts.  John’s brothers, Henry and Arthur Howland both came to New England and left descendants, too.  Famous descendants of John and Elizabeth Howland include Presidents George W. Bush, George H. W. Bush, and Franklin Delano Roosevelt, as well as the writers Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and Ralph Waldo Emerson, and Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, actors Christopher Lloyd, Humphrey Bogart, Stephen Baldwin, and the founder of the LDS church Joseph Smith.  Henry Howland is the ancestor of presidents Richard M. Nixon and Gerald R. Ford.  Arthur Howland is the ancestor of Sir Winston Churchill.  

In the second generation I descend from sisters Desire (1623 – 1683) and Hope (1629 – 1684).  Desire married Captain John Gorham in 1644.  He was a tanner who lived in Barnstable on Cape Cod, and he owned a grist mill.  He served in King Philip’s war where he contracted a fever and died in 1675.  Hope Howland married John Chipman in 1646.  He arrived from England on board the Friendship with Isaac Allerton (one of my other Mayflower ancestors) as a servant to Richard Derby.  He became a resident of Barnstable and an elder of the church.
