The Samuel Newman Family- US 1635 to current


**Connected to the Peter Woodward Family at Samuel Woodward (1685- ) **
 
Generation One:
Samuel Newman b. abt. 10 May 1602 at Banbury, Oxfordshire, England; bapt.  24 May 1602 at Banbury, Oxfordshire, England; m. 10 June 1624 Sibbell Featly at Banbury, Oxfordshire England; d. 5 July 1653 at Rehoboth, Bristol, MA, aged 51 years.
Their Children:
1. Samuel b. 6 July 1625 at Banbury, Oxfordshire, England
2. Antipas b. 15 October 1627 at Midhorne, England; m. 1658 Elizabeth Winthrop; d. 16 October 1672 , aged 45 years.
3. Noah b. 10 January 1631 at Midhorne, England; m. Joanna Flint; d. 15 April 1678, aged 47 years.
4. Hopestill b. 20 November 1641 at Weymouth, Norfolk, MA; m. 12 July 1664 George Shove; d. 7 March 1675, aged 33 years.

      Samuel Newman entered the University at Oxford at age 16, approx. 1616. He graduated from Trinity College at Oxford on 17 October 1620, with honors. He then took orders in the Church of England. Due to his nonconformity he was prosecuted. He then immigrated to America about 1635. He was supposed to be on the same vessel as Rev. Richard Mather. He was at first at Dorchester, Suffolk, MA. He was listed as a church member of Dorchester in  1636. He was admitted a freeman in 1638. In 1639 he moved to Weymouth,Norfolk, MA there he preached for about five years. Towards the end of 1643 he moved with many from his congregation to Rehoboth, Bristol, MA. The taxation of his new property was £530.

     Samuel was considered to be an animated preacher and also a pious man. He wrote a Concordance of the Bible, the third in English that was published and it was considered to surpass the two that preceded it. It was first published in 1643, but after the move to Rehoboth, Samuel began an edit. The final edition was published in London in 1658 in a thick folio. It later bore the title Cambridge Concordance. The concordance was reprinted at least as late as 1889, almost 250 years after it was first published.


Of his other works Mather was only able to recover parts:

"Notes or makes of grace, I find in myself; not where in I desire to glory, but to take ground of assurance, and after our apostle's rules, to make my election sure, though I find them but in weak measure.
1. I love God and desire to love God, principally for himself.
2. I desire to requite evil with good.
3. A looking up to God, to see him, and his hand, in all things that befall me.
4. A greater fear of displeasing God, than all the world.
5. A love of such Christians as I never saw, or received good from.
6. A grief when I see God's commands broke by any person.
7. A mourning for not finding the assurance of God's love, and the sense of his favour, in that comfortable manner, at one time as at another; and not being able to serve God as I should.
8. A willingness to give God the glory of any ability to do good.
9. A joy when I am in christian company, in Godly conference.
10 A grief, when I perceive it goes ill with Christians, and the contrary.
11. A constant performance of secret duties, between God and myself, morning and evening.
12. A bewailing of the sins, which none in the world can accuse me of.
13. A choosing of suffering to avoid sin.

 He died in Rehoboth on July 5, 1663.

      I have had to do a lot of extra research in order to prove Peter as the father of Samuel Woodward, but I believe that the records are correct. As for whether Peter was the first immigrant, well, I believe his father would have been the first to come over. The problem is who is the father? Is it Peter or Richard. Peter's birth date may be off. So I will leave this branch incomplete at this time and just list the records I have found to come back to at a later date.

Bits of Records from the town of Dedham, Norfolk, MA:
-Peter was received into First Church 7 November 1641 at Dedham, Norfolk, MA.
-"Peter was a freeman on 18 May 1642 at Dedham, Norfolk, MA. He was Representative in 1665, 1669, and 1670.
-Married 17 December 1752 Sarah Gay daughter of William and Sarah Gay

From Genforum- Woodwards:
-my source was "The Search for the Passengers of the Mary and John 1630 Vol. 20 pg. 153. I found it in the LDS Salt lake library on my trip years ago. I am told the books are still available.I also think they are on film.

-There were more than two Mehitable Woodwards. Peter Woodward had a daughter Mehitable, but she died in Dedham, Norfolk Co., MA, according to Vital Records of MA to 1850 for Norfolk Co. It states, under the heading "Deathes": "Mehetabell, the daughter of Peter and Mehetabell Woodward, deceased the ____" Obviously the date was not legible at the time of transcription, but it falls between entries of 1703 and 1705. This is NOT the Mehitable who married Samuel Herrick.

11. Gideon b. 1637 at Sandwich, Barnstable, MA; m. 1670 Sarah Prudden at Milford, New Haven, CT.; 1693 at Milford, New Haven, CT

      George Allen came over  with Reverend Hull on one of the vessels. They arrived at the Massachusetts Bay Colony on 6 May 1635. Reverend John Hull was granted to settle at Wessaguscusset Plantation on 8 July 1635 by the General Court at Boston. This are is now known as Weymouth, Norfolk, MA. George's point of origin is either Somersetshire, or Dorsetshire, England. On the last known list George's age is noted as 24 years. This would be unlikely since the next eldest child is listed as 16 years.
Listed on the manifest were:      
46 George Allin, aged 24 (34?) years. 
47 Katherine Allin, his wife, aged 30 years.
48 George Allin, his son, aged 16 years.
49 William Allin, his son, aged 8 years.
50 Matthew Allin, his son, aged 6 years.
51 Edward Poole, his servant, aged 26 years.

     The family first settled at Weymouth, Norfolk, MA. They may have even lived at Saugus, Essex, MA. Around 1637 the family moved to Sandwich, Barnstable, MA.He was a farmer and made freeman on 5 March 1638/39. He was later admitted on 3 September 1639. He served as constable on 4 June 1639; surveyor of highways in 1640, and as a committeeman from 1640-1642, and 1644.

     George  died  April 1648 at Sandwich, Barnstable, MA. He was buried 2 May 1648, also at Sandwich, Barnstable, MA.  George's will was probated on 7 June 1648. On 8 June 1649, his widow, Katherine, furnished an inventory to the New Plymouth Court. Sometime after George passed away, Katherine married for a second time to a man named John Collins, who was a shoemaker in Boston.

Generation Two:
John Allen b. abt 1606 at Huverton, Leichester, England; m. Christian Allen Nee Unknown; d. 27 May 1690 at Rehoboth, Bristol, MA, aged 84 years.
Their Children:
1. John b. abt 1637; m. remained single;d. 1723 at Swansea, Bristol, MA, aged 86 years.
2. Elizabeth b. abt 1639; m. 13 November 1674 John Fairweather at Swansea, Bristol, MA;
3. Isaac b. abt 1642; m(1) 30 May 1673 Mary Bowen at Rehoboth, Bristol, MA; m. (2) Katherine Balcom; d. 1692 at Rehoboth, Bristol, MA, aged 50 years
4. Deborah b. abt 1635; m. 5 November 1659 Joseph Bucklin at Rehoboth, Bristol, MA; d. 1 April 1720 at Rehoboth, Bristol, MA, aged 85 years.
5. Daniel- b. 21 April 1648;    
  
     The date of John Allen's immigration is not yet proved. But I think that he and his wife, Christian, came on the Abigail in 1635. She is listed as Ann and the ages match up. This would also be the same time frame that his father's family came over with the Hull Company. We can assume that he was in Massachusetts by March of 1667 due to the following document:

"The Founding of Swansea: By this time the towns of Plymouth Colony were fairly well established. On 5 March 1667/68, the court approved that the township granted to Capr. Thomas Willet and his neighbors at Wannamoisett be called Swansea. the town leaders were Captain WIllett, Mr. Stephen Paine, Sr., Mr. James Browne, John Allen, and John Butterworth." 1 p. 100

"The selectmen of Seansea from 1669 to 1675 were: James Brown, Nicholas Tanner, John Allen, Hugh Cole, Samuel Luther, Thomas Lewis, Benjamin Alby and John Butterworth. 1675 was the year of the massacre." 3p.
   
     John Allen along with his youngest half-brother, Gideon, and a number of others, is said to have been one of the original founders of Swansea, Bristol, MA. John resided at Swansea. John died at Swansea on 3 May 1690. His will, which had been written on 12 March 1689, was probated before the Bristol County Court on 27 May 1690.

The William Buckland Family- US 1635 to Current


**Connected to the John Barrows Family at Beniah Barrows (1683-1754)**
Generation One:
William Buckland b. abt. 1606 in England; m. bef. 1634 Mary Bosworth; d. 1683 at Weymouth, Norfolk, MA, aged 77 years
Their Children:
1. Joseph b. 26 June 1633 at England
2. Lydia b. 1637
3. Benjamin b. bef. 2 July 1640 at Hingham, Plymouth, MA; m. 1660 Rachel Wheatley Allen at Hingham, Plymouth, MA; d. 26 March 1676 slain  at a place called Nine Men's Misery, King Philip War.

Note from the website http://www.bucklinsociety.net/wm1_story_part1.htm:
      "The first author reporting on William Bucklin's emigration to New England was Charles Edward Banks, who in his books, The Winthrop Fleet of 1630, and Planters of the Commonwealth, records that William came in the Winthrop fleet of 1630. There is no regular passenger list of the passengers in the Winthrop fleet, but William's name does show up on Winthrop's journal notes, as a servant of John Plaistow, and that is what Banks uses for his report.
      Plaistow was officially "a gentleman" from Essex. Space was limited in the Winthrop fleet ships ,and only persons with the rank of noble or gentleman had space or temporary cabins on the upper deck. Winthrop's note that William was on board as a "servant" of Plaistow means that William had the privilege denied others of ready and daily access to the upper deck. Since our William Bucklin was a carpenter, he probably accompanied Plaistow as a builder rather than a menial servant.
     However, his relationship as a servant of Plaistow got William into trouble. In September, 1631, Plaistow took or stole four baskets of corn belonging to "Chickatabot," who was a Native American. (3) The Colony's Court ordered Plaistow degraded from the title of gentleman and shipped back to England, ordered Plaistow to give eight baskets of corn to Chickatabot, and ordered Plaistow to pay a fine of five English pounds to the Colony. Since William and Thomas Andrew were Plaistow's servants, subject to his orders, they merely were whipped for being accessories. The next ship back to England did not depart until after the spring brought more ships coming to New England. The records show Plaistow was sent back to England by June of 1632, and his land and possessions being sold to settle debts he had owed to others in the Colony.. So if William came to America In 1630 with Plaistow, he must have returned once to England."

      William Buckland came over on the Elizabeth Dorcas in 1634 with his wife, Mary, their son, Joseph, and Mary's parents, the Bosworth's. The family first settled in Hingham, Plymouth, MA. He had land on the north side of Otis (Weary-All) hill. In 1635 the house lot was near the old railroad station located in West Hingham, Plymouth, MA. In 1666, he owned land at Broad Cove.

      The Rehoboth Town Meeting Records of one of their first meetings (February 1, 1645), tell us, ". . . At the same time the way to William Buckland's house is agreed on by those partyes which it doth conform." So we know that probably at least by the fall of 1644, Bucklin had built a house on the land, and maintained his ownership of the land against the later arrivals/ William's house stood in the area of the 1641 property deal made with Native Americans by John Hazels

       About 1655 or so the family moved to Rehoboth, Bristol, MA. There William served as grand jury man, 19 May 1656, and constable, 25 May 1657. From the Rehoboth Propriety Records Book 2 p. 81, William drew lot #46. He was freeman on February 12, 1657.



Other properties belonging to William Bucklin:
1. 600 acres bought of Edward Smith, bounded on Pawtucket River on West and unto a run that comes from the Cedar Swamp on the East.
2. 4 acres of fresh meadow near house, bounded with a river on the East.
3.. 4 acres of salt and fresh meadow bounded with the Pawtucket River on the west.
4. 33 acres of upland butting upon the Pawtucket on west, land of Thomas Cooper on East.
5. 1 1/2 acres Pawtucket River on West.
6. 2 1/2 acres same range with John Reade.
7. 6 acres of land that was John Millards and six acres that was Widow Walkers.

10. One lott on East side of Plaine, 10 acres.

12. 2 Plaine lotts which I had of Jonathan Bliss in exchange, 12 acres.
13. A piece of fresh meadow, 2 acres


     William sold land in Hingham on May 25, 1661. He had 12 acres of upland in Wachamoket Neck. On 22 October 1680, he received land laid  for highway to the Salt water for cattle to go to drink. William Bucklin died in 1683. The only record of the death is in the Rehoboth Vital Record Death Book, Volume One, page 56, which only says "buried September 1, 1683."

If these documents are true he may have returned to England and together with his wife, Anne Thompson Barrowe, returned. They sailed from London. Records state "the examination of John Borrowe of Yarmouth, a Cooper, aged 28 years and Anne, his wife, aged 40 years—desirous to pass to Salem in New England, there to inhabit”.
