      Jonathan Bosworth was born in England about 1613. There was a deposition in June 1639 that has his age at 26 years. He came to Cambridge, MA, records as early as 1633.


From the Great Migration:
“He was granted one rood for a cowyard in Cambridge on 5 August 1633. He was also granted a lot of two acres in the West End on 4 August 1634, A rant of proportional share of one-half in meadow ground on 20 August 1635. In Cambridge land inventory on 10 October 1635 Jonathan Bosworth held three parcels: one house with backside about two acres in the West End; one rood in Cowyard Row; and two acres on Small Lot Hill,”

     Jonathan was the brother-in- law of William Bucklin, and when William Bucklin migrated in 1634 ship, Jonathan moved near William Bucklin. On 3 April 1636 and July 1637 there were several parcels of land and meadow given to Jonathan Bosworth by the town of Hingham, Plymouth, MA. They were a house lot of two acres of land, a great lot of ten acres of land lying upon the Great Plain, a house lot of five acres of land, and one acre of fresh meadow. There were no deeds when he sold his land in Hingham before 1640 but the subsequent owner described the land has have been formerly owned by Jonathan Bozworth. He moved to Rehoboth. He was a tailor. He took an oath of fidelity at Rehoboth in 1658. He is listed as a freeman in March 1683/4 in Rehoboth.


     On 18 April 1661 Jonathan Bosworth, Sr., of Rehoboth sold twelve acres of land (purchased from Joseph Phippen) and one acre of fresh meadow (his by grant) in Hingham to Daniel Cushing [SLR 8:150].The land was on Bachelor (Main) Street in Hingham, Plymouth, MA, near the corner of South Street.

      Jonathan probably gave a proprietary right at Rehoboth to his son-in-law John Cobley, who received one whole share in the North Purchase of Rehoboth, 10 April 1666: "John Cobley, one whole share that he had of his father Jonathan Bosworth" [Early Rehoboth 1:41]. On 20 April 1666, "Jonathan Bosworth, Sr., of Rehoboth, tailor," deeded his house and lot in Rehoboth, purchased of "his brother Benjamin," to Stephen Paine [PCLR 3:2:224]. On 26 May 1668 Jonathan Bosworth was twenty-fifth of those drawing meadowlands in the North Purchase and he was sixty-sixth at the 18 March 1668/9 drawing [Bosworth Gen 69].


      On 26 May 1672 "Jonathan Woodcock of Rehoboth" sold to "Jonathan Bosworth Sr. of Rehoboth" an acre of fresh meadow at the Mill Run [Bosworth Gen 69, citing original deed, apparently unrecorded]. On 28 May 1672, Rehoboth granted "Goodman Bozworth Senr." a small tract of land against his meadow on the neck, provided he leave a sufficient passable way from the bridge..." [Rehoboth TR].


      On 20 February 1678[/9] William Buckland of Rehoboth deeded to Jonathan Bosworth Sr. of Rehoboth a twelve-acre lot of upland in Wachamoket Neck and Joseph Buckland of Rehoboth sold Jonathan twenty-six acres of upland at the same place [Bosworth Gen 70, citing original deed].


       In a list of Rehoboth possessions, "Jonathan Bozworth" owned: "my house lot containing twenty acres..., fifteen acres of land in Wachamoket Neck..., twelve acres and ten rods of upland at Wachamoket Neck..., twenty-six acres of land at Wachamoket Neck..., one acre of land ... near the bridge ... and one acre of meadow ... which I purchased of John Wodcok Sen" [Bosworth Gen 70-71, citing Rehoboth Proprietors' Records 2:128].

     Jonathan Bosworth Sr. and Samuel Peck were made administrators of the estate of Nathaniel Peck on 1 November 1676, and Jonathan was appointed administrator of the estate of John Cobley on 1 March 1680/1 [PCR 5:212, 6:55, 56, 73].

     On 30 December 1680, Jonathan Bozworth and wife Elizabeth Bozworth deeded to Joseph Bozworth "half of my house lot with the east end of my dwelling house and half my barn and two lots adjoining in Wathchamositt Neck..., excepting that part that the highway cuts off which is six or eight acres ... and another which was Jacob Amesbury's," also two cows "fair with calf and the use of the teams to do his work and mine so long as I shall see cause or til he hath of his own ... but for his brother Jonathan he shall have nothing to do with anything I have except he decline from that opinion of the Anabaptists which he now holds ..." [PCR 5:137].


    On 8 March 1686 Jonathan received another grant of meadowlands at the North Purchase. Jonathan Bosworth died 3 January 1687/8 at Rehoboth, Bristol, MA. In his will, dated 24 February 1686/7 and evidently never brought to court (but found among ancient papers in a Barrington, Rhode Island, attic).

     "Jonathan Bozworth Senior" of Rehoboth "being weak and aged" bequeathed to "my dear and beloved wife" the use and improvement of the rooms of my house that I now dwell in with the one half of my barn, orchard and homelot, and other lands not disposed of for her natural life, also all my household goods and corn and cattle to be at my decease "wholly at her dispose"; to "my eldest son Jonathan" 5s. to be paid by my son Joseph "I having already given him a good portion of lands and other estate to a good value: more than I was able"; to "my son Joseph" the other end of my house and the one half of my barn and orchard and houselot and lands in Wachamoket Neck "of which I have formerly given him an instrument" do hereby confirm, also the other half to him at my wife's death; to "my daughter Rebeka Peck" 5s.; to "my daughter Bethia Peck" £5 [perhaps should be 5s.]; to "my daughter Batsheba" 5s.; son Joseph to pay all legacies; "my dear wife" executrix and "my son Joseph" executor [Bosworth Gen 73-74, citing unrecorded original will].

     Joseph came in 1638 with his brother, Rev. Robert Peck. They were fleeing the persecution of the puritan religion in England. He arrived on the Diligent of Ipswich mastered by John Martin. The town clerk, Daniel Cushing, of the town of Hingham, Plymouth, MA wrote : “Mr. Joseph Peck and his wife with three sons and a daughter and two men servants, and three maid servants, came from Old Hingham , and settled at New Hingham. His first wife Rachael died in Hingham, England about October 1637 and was buried there 24 October 1637. The name of his second wife is not known.


The records of 1638 state that : “Mr. Joseph Peck received a grant of seven acres of land, for a house lot, next to Robert Peck his brother; he also received other grants of land.”


     The family lived there at Hingham, Plymouth, MA for about seven years. At Hingham he was Representative to the General Court in 1639- 1642. He also took an interest in the business of the town. He was one of the selectmen, justice of the peace and an assessor. In 1641, he was one of the principal purchasers of Seekonk, Bristol, MA. The tract of land was originally called Seacunk by the Indians. Later this area was incorporated into Rehoboth town. At first it was called eight miles square but later was to be at ten. Now this area is part of Rehoboth, Seekonk, and Pawtucket. The family moved there in 1645.


In the records of Rehoboth the records note:
“ Another strange accident happened by fire about this time. Mr. Joseph Peck, and three others of Hingham, being about to remove to Seeconk, (which concluded by the Commissioners of the United colonies to belong to Plymouth,) riding thither they sheltered themselves and their horses in the Indian wigwam, which by some occasion took fire, and (although there were four in it, and labored to their utmost burnt three of their horses to death, and all their goods, to the value of fifty pounds.” 1. P. 15


     In Seekonk, Joseph appears on record as managing “its affairs” until his elder years. His name appears on the Plymouth Colonial records as well. He was appointed to assist in matters of controversy at court. He was administering marriage in 1650. In 1651, he was appointed to determine “all controversies, not exceeding a certain amount.” He was also appointed to administer oaths and to issue warrants.


     He was considered to be one of the wealthiest men. In the purchase of the town and the apportionment of tax, there was only one who paid more than him. After the first purchase of the town, he bought other rights that made him a large owner. Joseph’s house was in the plain of the northern part called the “Ring of the Town”. The location was near the junction of the present Pawtucket and the old Boston and Bristol road. Near what was the depot of the Boston Providence Railroad as it went across the plain. Joseph lived there until his death on 23 December 1663.
