2048. Robert TAYLOR
This Robert (b. in Hatherleigh) may not be father of Stephen or the one bur. in Sreyton in 1648, since a Robert TAYLOR was m. in 1604 in Sreyton to Joane HASKILL. Subsequently in Spreyton a Joane w. of Robert TAYLOR was buried in 1615.
Md (1) 1616 Thomasyn SMALLRIDGE Also perhaps md (3) Joyce......, based upon 1633 burial of 'Joyce, w. of Robt. TAYLER' in Spreyton Par. Reg. At first, wife(1) was assummed to be mother of Stephen, but in Sreyton Parish reg.(film 917141) burial date of 1618 given for 'Tamsyn, w. of Robt. TAYLER'.
Marraige date from on-line IGI(3/1/01)
The scenario given in this pedigree would reqire Robert of Hatherleigh to have registered birth of son Stephen at Spreyton. There is no evidence for(or against) this. This was simply the closest Robert to Spreyton before finding a marraige of a Robert in Spreyton in 1604. There are no other children of a Robert mentioned in Spreyton until Stephen in 1622.

For sec. w. by wh. he had no ch. he took Margaret, wid. of John ELSON (wh. had been md. of HILLIARD, perhaps Hugh, and had s. Benjamin, Job, and John H.). He was much engag. 1658 in the controv. a.

Thomas, b. a. 1617, emb. in Apr. 1635, on the Elizabeth, at London, m. 9 May 1646, Rebecca CROOKE (unless the name be wrong, as I suspect it is, in the rec.), had Rebecca, b. 9 Nov 1647; Peter, 24 Jan 1649; both bapt. 24 Mar 1650; Thomas, 1, bapt. 23 May 1652, d. at 15 mos.; Sarah, 10, bapt. 29 Jan 1654, d. at 6 yrs; John, 7, bapt. 30 Dec 1655; Samuel, 3, bapt. 8 Mar 1657, k. by the Ind. 2 Apr 1676; Joseph, 11, bapt. 16 Jan 1659; Sarah, again, 20 Apr. bapt. 8 Jun 1662; Benjamin, 23 Apr. bapt. 22 May 1664; Ebenezer, 5 Aug. bapt. 10 Sep 1665, d. 13 Nov 1683; and Jonathan, 14 Aug. bapt. 1 Sep 1667; was freem. 1690; Peter, the younger, d. 30 Oct 1673; his mo. d. 10 Jun 1675, aged 45 and the f. d. 5 Nov 1698. Sarah m. 31 May 1683, John GORE.
The identity of Peter of Roxbury, MA with Peter of Gloucester is based on Savage info that Peter had bro. Thomas and was s. of Thomas. In the IGI the only such combination in the possible time period was found in Gloucester.

Eunice, had, ver late in life, Sarah, again, 12 Dec 1697; and he d. 1701 in 84th yr. Butler, Hist. 282, refers to the will in proof.
Crane - Lieutenant James PARKER, the immigrant ......, was born in England in 1618. He settled first at Woburn in New England, and is mentioned in the town records as early as 1640. He is on the tax list of 1645. He moved from Woburn to Billerica in 1654, and from there to Chelmsford in 1658. Soon afterward he settled at Groton, where he lived the remainder of his life except for the times the settlers had to leave home and seek refuge from the Indians. He was in command of a company of militia in King Philip's war in 1675-6. He was deputy to the general court in 1693. He died at Groton in 1701, in his eighty-fourth year. He married Elizabeth LONG 23MAY1645. She was the daughter of Robert LONG, of Charlestown MA. He married (second) Eunice___, a widow. The children of James and Elizabeth PARKER were: Elizabeth, born 12APR1645, at Woburn; Anna, born 5JAN1646/7; John, born 18JAN1648, died young; John, born 28FEB1649; Sarah, born 29AUG1650, died 15OCT1651; Joseph, of whom later; James, born 15APR1652, grantee of Billerica; killed by the Indians 24JUL1694; married Mary PARKER; Josiah, born 1655, married Elizabeth SAXON, of Boston; Samuel, married Abigail LAKIN; Joshua, born 13MAR1658, at Chelmsford, married Abigail SHATTUCK; Zachariah, born 14JAN1659, at Chelmsford; Eleazer, born 9NOV1660, at Groton; Sarah (by wife Eunice), born 12DEC1697.

2120. Thomas ROOT
Savage - Thomas, Salem 1637, when he had gr. of ld. that he prob. slighted, as he was of Hartford 1639, or earlier, had large fam. was a weaver, and rem. a. 1653, to Northampton, where he was one of the seven pillars for foundat. of the ch. 1661, and d. at gr. age, 17 jul 1694, in his will naming progeny, Joseph, Thomas, John (who was b 30 Jun 1646, and had d. but left d. Thankful), Jonathan, Jacob, Hezekiah (who was d. but left ch.) and Sarah, w. of Samuel KELLOG of Hartford.
Crane - Thomas ROOTE the immigrant ....., believed to be the son of John and Ann (RUSSELL) ROOT, of Badby, England, was born 16Jan1605. He came to this country about the year 1637 and was among the first settlers of Hartford CT, where he lived many years and where his children were born, although, on account of the incompleteness of the early records of Hartford, the birth of one only was recorded. This Thomas ROOTE, as it was spelled then, is to be distinguished from Thomas ROOTES, of Salem. Thomas ROOTE of Hartford, was a soldier in the Pequot war in 1637. He was a proprietor of the town of Hartford in 1639, and his name is found on the monument in the old graveyard in Hartford in the rear of the Center Church erected by the Ancient Burial Ground Association in memory of the first settlers of the city. He was a considerable landholder there, and one parcel of the land assigned to him was located on what is now North Main street, about a mile west of the State House. After a residence of about fifteen years in Hartford he removed with his six sons and one daughter and settled in Northampton MA, 9MAY1654; as one of the planters of what was then called Nonotuck. In the MA colonial documents we find that in 1659, on petition, he was appointed one of the selectmen. He was a weaver as well as farmer. His record of land assigned to him by the town is dated 7DEC1659. Among the eight original members of the church at Nonotuck was ROOTE on 18JUN1661, and some say that he was deacon of the church. His homestead was on King street, opposite the site of the Roman Catholic church. Thomas ROOTE died 17JUL1694, aged eighty-nine years, naming his children in his will and mentioning that he lived with his son Jonathan at the old homestead. The name of his wife is not known. The children were: Joseph, born about 1640,.....; Thomas, born about 1644; John, born 10JAN1646, died 19SEP1677; Jonathan, married 22MAR1680, died 25DEC1741; Hezekiah, married, about 1682, died 29SEP1690; Jacob, died 9AUG1731; Sarah, married 20MAR1679.

Savage - John, Hingham 1635, among first proprs. wh. drew ho. lots Sep of that yr. freem. 9 Mar 1637, next yr. was of Taunton, and cont. there as one of the first proprs. made freem. of that jurisdict. 4 Dec; chos. rep. 1641, 2,3, and 4, as Baylies shows II.2 and 3, and a juror 1645; three or four yrs. aft. is found at Windsor, and made freem. of Conn. May 1651, unless this were his s. wh. seems very improb. and soon aft. 1661 was inhab. of Northampton. With very gr. doubts as to most of the items, and utter reject. of part most import. in tradit. report. of his com. in the Mary and John to Dorchester with WARHAM in Mar 1630, I think it prob. that he brot. John in 1635, and at Hingham had Thomas, possb. also another ch. wh. d. inf. and that his w. d. there, and that he m. perhaps in 1636, Abigail, d. of Thomas FORD of Corchester, for in that single yr. is the only ment. of his name as resid. at D. had prob. at Taunton Jedediah, bapt. 14 Apr 1639, at D. tho. the ch. rec. implies, that the parents liv. at H. Return; Ebenezer; and Abigail at Windsor, certain had Eliz. b. 24 Aug 1647, or 24 Feb 1648; Experience, 4 Aug 1650; Samuel and Joseph, perhaps sometimes call. Josiah, tw. 5 Aug 1652; Mary, 26 Oct 1654. At W. he m. 26 Nov 1656, Mary, only d. of Joseph CLARK, had Sarah not on rec. perhaps 1657; Hannah, 30 May 1659; and Esther, 7 Jun 1661; at Northampton had Thankful, 25 Jul 1663; and Jerijah, 12 Dec 1665. COTHRAN favors him with three more ch. one wh. d. inf. two mos. aft. arr. of f. in 1630; Josiah wh. d. young, unm. but I distrust the exist. of both; and Sarah, wh. m. 19 Dec 1675, or 13 Jan foll. (either of wh. may be thot. more prob. date, than that of fam. tradit. 13 Jul 1675) Joseph BARNARD of Hadley, and next, 1698, Capt. Jonathan WELLS of Deerfield. She may have com betw. Mary and Hannah. On the high authority of Dr. Allen I can find but sixteen ch. beside the inf wh. d. He was, very likely, b. at Taunton in co. Somerset, and his f. may have been Richard, and his sis. Elinor may have been w. of Walter DEAN; but that he ever lived at Dorchester is highly improb. for HARRIS, or any more search. inquirer has not found his name there, bef. or aft. 1638, exc. once as a witness to a deed, wh. may have been writ. at Hngham; and it is hardly to be believ. that the same w. wh. bore the two ch. at N. had been taken at D. in 1630. That he was indeed ever resid. at D. aft. 1638, can be surmis. from the trifling incident only, that John HILL was m. at Boston 16 Jan 1657 to Eliz. STRONG by Humphrey ATHERTON, the Assist. wh. was a Dorchester man. Nor is it more prob. as the tradit. ornaments the story, that he came from Eng. with WARHAM or accomp. him in 1636 to W. HITCHCOCK, PARSONS, COTHRAN, Geneal. Reg. VIII. 180, and EMERY too easily adm. such relat. in my opin. that relies on the powerful contempo. silence of his br.-in-law Roger CLAP, wh. did come in that sh. and m. a d. of his fellow passeng. Thomas FORD. For the modern origin of these improb. tradit. I presume that, as the ancest. wa at Windsor, within twelve yrs. of its settlem. and a s. of his m. a WARHAM, and as FORD rem with W. to Windsor the story apread grad. that he had come from Eng. to Dorchester, with W. and accomp him to his next home in Conn. but the reporters did not considere two points, that many people were of Dorchester, wh. did not come with WARHAM, and many of Windsor, wh. did not come from Dorchester. In McCLURE's acco. of sett. of Windsor, writ. in 1797, pr. 1 Mass. Hist. Coll. V. 167, is seen the list of the sixteen male mem. of the ch. of Dorchester that went with WARHAM thither, among wh. is no STRONG. As Roger CLAP had m. a d. of FORD two or three yrs. bef. the exodus, the d. wh. bec. the sec. w. of STRONG, as it seems to me after it, may have contin. at D. to comfort her sis. and avoid the perils of ano. first planting. He was a tanner, one of the pillars at foundat. of ch. Elder 1663, and his w. d. 6 Jul 1688, and he d. 14 Apr 1699, aged 91, says his s. Jerijah, wh. in mod. tradit. is easily corrupt to 94. Beside Sarah, above ment. Abigail m. 12 Nov 1673, Rev. Nathaniel CHAUNCEY, and 8 Sep 1686, deac. Medad POMEROY; Eliz. m. 17 Mar or 11 May 1669, Joseph PARSONS; Experience m. 27 May 1669, Zerobabel FILER; Mary m. 20 Mar 1679, John CLARK; Hannah m. 15 Jul 1680, William CLARK Jr.; Esther m. 15 Oct 1678, Thomas BISSELL, the younger, of Windsor; and Thankful m. a BALDWIN of the countless tribes of Milford, as COTHRAN reports, no doubt from the fam. acco. So there were eight ds. and seven s. of the prosperous tanner, wh. liv. to m. and thirteen of this number were b. to him by the sec. w. Abilgail FORD.

Savage - Henry, Dorchester 1639, came, says CLAPP, in his careful Hist. of Dorchester, p.141, in the James, Capt. TAYLOR, in the summer of 1635, with Richard MATHER, and he calls him a physician. He had there, Experience; Freedom, bapt. 1642; Thankful; and John; rem. 1659 to Northampton, with those ch. and the mo. Eliz. there was one of the founders of the first ch. and had been an early mem. at D.

At least 3 diff dates given for marraige to J. PHILLIPS and several duplicate records for various children. Three sets of ordinances given in IGI for several children. Two sets of these are based on extracted birth and christening records, and one set on a patron submission. Births are at Milton, Norfolk, MA with spelling BABCOCK and christenings are at Dorchester, Suffolk, MA with spelling BADCOCK. Savage mentions that these are interchangeable.
