| | | |William Chase b. Eng d. at Yarmouth between 4 May 1659, the date of his will, and 13 May 1659, when his will was proved. The family lived at Roxbury from 1630 to 1638. The following has been copied from the records of the church at Roxbury kept by Rev. John Eliot: "William Chase, he came with the first company, 1630; he brought one child his son willia. a child of ill qualitys, & a sore affliction to his parents: he was much affected by the long & tedious affliction of his wife; after his wives recovery she bare him a daughter, wch they named mary borne aboute the midle of the 3rd month [May], 1637. he did after yt remove [intending] to Scituate, but after went with a company who maide a new plantation at yarmouth."

| | | |Mary Townley b. Eng d. before 6 Oct 1659 Yarmouth MA The following has been copied from the records of the church at Roxbury kept by Rev. John Eliot: "Mary Chase, the wife of William Chase. she had a paralitik humor wch fell into her back bone, so yt she could not stir her body, but as she was lifted, and filled her with great torture, & caused her back bone to goe out of joynt, & bunch out from beginning to the end of wch infirmity she lay 4 years & a halfe, and a great pt of the time a sad spectakle of misery: But it pleased God to raise her againe, & she bore children after it." She died on or before 6 Oct. 1659, for she is not mentioned in the division of her husband's estate that was ordered on that day, and on the same day the following report of the inquest held to inquire into the cause of her death was made: 6 Oct. 1659. "Wee, whose names are vnderwritten, haveing made serch and enquiry, according to our best light and vnderstanding, into the cause of the death of Mary Chase, viz, of our towne of Yarmouth, doe with joynt consent p'sent the day and yeare said, that wee can find noe other but that shee died a natuall death through inward sickness, as is evident to all men naturally."

| | | |William Chase b.15 Jun 1621 Chesam, Norfolk, Eng d.27 Feb 1685 Yarmouth MA Rev. John Eliot, in his records of the Roxbury church (pp.73-74), stated that William Chase came with his parents in 1630 and was "a child of ill qualitys & a sore affliction to his parents." As "William Chase Junr" he was listed in August 1643 among the Yarmouth men between sixteen and sixty years of age who were able to bear arms. (Plymouth Colony Records, vol. 8, p. 194.) He was probably the William Chase who was in the military service from Yarmouth as a "drummer" from 24 Aug. to 2 Sept. 1645, and received an extra 5s. for his services. (Ib., vol. 2, p. 91.) The following entry is found in the records of a General Court held at Plymouth on 6 Mar. 1654/5: "William Chase Junr. for goeing into the house of Richard Berry, and taking away by violence a p'cell of flax and a smale p'cell of hose yarn, was sentenced to sitt in the stockes an houre on a training day att Yarmouth."

John Martyn himself changed the spelling of his name to Martin. A legal record states that John Martin, living in his uncle Upham's household testified in the suit of Priscilla Upham versus Paul Nixon, June 15. 1658; this is the first record of him in the colonies. In the "Early History of Swansea and Rehoboth" it lists John as being one of the original signers when Swansea was incorporated in 1669. The "Early History of Swansea and Rehoboth: "John Martin, born in England 1633, died March 21, 1713. Service: Farmer and weaver, appt. 1671 Constable for Swansea, 1673 Surveyor of highways, 1685 again Surveyor of highways." On Sunday, June 19, 1675, John Martin's house was one of those burned by the Indians during King Phillip's War. The whole village was in Church at the time. All but 4 houses in Swansea had been burned. John and Joanna are buried at Tyler's Point Cemetery in Barrington, RI. (I found on the internet a person who visited these graves May 2001).

They took wood shavings from the cooper shop, which was on the farm, set them afire, left them in the house, and hurried on to the village. Although the village of Medfield was reduced to ashes, the Allen family was more fortunate; the shavings in the house were left on a horizontal cellar door which burned until it was sufficiently weakened to collapse, fell to the dirt floor below, and died out without catching the rest of the house.

| | | | |William Sabin b. 11 Oct 1609 Tichfield Hampshire Eng d. 17 Jul 1687 Rehoboth MA It has been suggested that he may have come on the ship Brevis in 1638 when a group of Titchfield people sailed from England. Active in the Puritan Congregational Church pastored by the Rev S.amuel N.ewman. At town meeting in 1646, he was given permission by the town to set up fish weirs in the Pawtucket River to catch alewives under the condition that they do not prevent fishing by either the English or the Indians, that they sell their alewives at 2s per thousand, other fish at reasonable rates and that they do not hinder boat traffic on the river (Bliss p. 39). William served as a deputy to the General Court in Boston. By 1648, he was the operator of a mill that was built by his father-in-law Richard Wright. Later in life he was reputed to be a man of some wealth and culture who donated freely to the victims of the Indian wars. He was the constable in Rehoboth in 1656 and he was chosen to be a deputy a Deputy to the Court at Plymouth in the years 1657, 1659- 61 and 1670-1. He was the foreman of a jury that brought in a verdict of guilty against three Indians for the killing of John Sassamon in 1675. The subsequent hangings of the Indians was the event that precipitated the commencement of King Phillip's War and the massacre of the English at Swansea in June of 1675. The 3 were hanged June 1675 in Rehoboth. Nine months later, the Indians burned William Sabin's mill and killed his 29 year old son, N.ehemiah. The "Ring of the Town" of Rehoboth was burned by the Indians, under the command of King Phillip. Forty houses and thirty barns were destroyed. It is said: His parents were wealthy and cultured Huguenots, who fled from France, their native land, during the days of religious persecution which immediately preceded the revocation of the Edict of Nantes. The family, having secured a safe passage across the channel, settled in England near the border line of Wales. The records of Rehoboth, Mass., show that he was one of a company that founded that town in 1643, and that he resided there for a quarter of a century. These old records also show that he was financially one of the foremost men of the settlement, and that he gave liberally of his means for the relief of his less fortunate neighbors, especially such as suffered from the ravages of the Indians. He was a leading spirit in matters relating to the church and schools, as well as in all such civil affairs as tended to the general betterment of Plymouth colony. His will, the original of which is on file in Boston, is dated June 4, 1685, and was probated July 7, 1687. In it he mentions sixteen of his twenty children.

In his will dated April 1,1633, Rev. Richard left a house and land in Wargrave (near the Thames River, 45 miles south of Everdon, Berks County) to his wife Frances for life and after her death, to his son Richard, "if he be in England".

| | | | | |Richard Wright (Capt.) b. @1598 Eng d. Seekonk MA Emig. 1630 with Winthrop; lived at Rehoboth. KING PHILIP'S WAR A gentleman farmer and estate steward. Sailed from Ratcliff, Stepney, England on the Arabella in 1630. (He was in the employ of Col. Humphrey in 1629 when the Colonel was chosen Deputy Governor of the Massachusetts Bay Company, but as he decided to remain in England, T.homas D.udley was elected to fill his place.) He took up the lands at Saugus (Lynn) that were given to Col. Humphrey, and he developed them into a "plaine farme", erecting houses and buildings, and in general, preparing them for the arrival of the Colonel. In 1630, he was appointed Captain of the Saugus Militia. He was admitted to the Boston Church as member No. 89 in late 1630. In 1632, he held the office of Deputy from Lynn to the General Court. On May 3, 1631, at the Court of Assistants in Boston, "it is ordered that John Legge, servant to Mr. Humphrey , shall be severely whipped this day at Boston, and afterwards soe soone as conveniently may be, att. Salem, for striking Richard Wright, when hee came to gieve him correccon for idleness in his maistrs worke". [Massachusetts Bay Colony Records, May 9, 1631] Richard Wright was appointed to a committee consisting of two men from each of the eight towns, to erect a public stock. There is an interesting story told in the town records on June 14, 1632: "one A.braham S.hurd of P.emaquid, and one Capt. Wright and others comming to Pascataquack, being bound for this ba in a shallop with 200 pounds worth of commodities, one of the seaman, going to light a pipe of tobacco, set fire on a barrel of powder, which tare the boat to pieces. That man was never seen; the rest were all saved, but the goods lost. The man that was blown away with the powder in the boat at Piscataquack, was afterwards found with his hands and feet tore off. This fellow, being wished by another to forebear to take any tobacco till they came to the shore, which was hard by, answered, that if the devil would carry him away quick, he would take one pipe. Some in the boat were so drunk and fast asleep as they did not wake with the noise."[Winthrop's History of New England] Richard was made a freeman in Boston on May 14, 1634 . Colonel Humphrey arrived and established himself at Saugus. For a short time, Richard and his family remained on the farm there. By 1636 he was in Boston, then in 1639 he was in Braintree, and by 1643 he was one of the founding fathers of Rehoboth and one of the first selectmen. In 1639, he purchased 600 acres of land at Mount Wollaston and operated a water mill there, for which he was granted a monopoly. Richard was the richest man in town at that time with an estate valued at £ 834. He also built and operated a mill there which was eventually taken over by his son-in-law William Sabin. After the United Colonies eventually decided that the town of Rehoboth was to come under the jurisdiction of Plymouth Colony, Richard moved from the town around early 1646 because of his disagreements with the Plymouth people. Later that year, he returned to England for a short time and settled after that in Boston. Richard Wright was the most important man and leader in the new settlement at Seacunke; Walter Palmer [the Comstock/Huntley line] was another.

Edward Doty emigrated from England in 1620 aboard the Mayflower. He was an apprentice (servant) to Stephen Hopkins (see below) and subsequently was released from his contract sometime in the mid-1620's. Edward Doty appears to have been somewhat of a troublemaker throughout his life at Plymouth. In June 1621, he engaged in a sword and dagger duel with fellow Hopkins servant Edward Leister; both were wounded before being separated, and were punished by having their head and feet tied together for an hour (it was supposed to have been for a whole day, but they were let go early because of their apparent suffering). Edward Doty made regular appearances in Plymouth Colony Court. He even sued his father-in-law Thurston Clarke. Doty was awarded 12 bushels and 1 peck of Indian corn, and 12 shillings money or an additional 4 bushes of corn, plus 11 shillings for charges. John Jenny then entered an attachment to receive 31 shillings 6 pence from Clarke before it was paid to Doty, of which the court ordered him to then pay Doty five and a half bushels of Indian corn and 3 pence to settle the account.

| | | | | | |Stephen Hopkins b. d.Between 6 June 1644 and 17 July 1644 Plymouth MA Emigrated on the Mayflower. Stephen Hopkins went with the ship Sea Venture on a voyage to Jamestown, Virginia in 1609 as a minister's clerk, but the ship wrecked in the "Isle of Devils" in the Bermudas. Stranded on an island for ten months, the passengers and crew survived on turtles, birds, and wild pigs. Six months into the castaway, Stephen Hopkins and several others organized a mutiny against the current governor. The mutiny was discovered and Stephen was sentenced to death. However, he pleaded with sorrow and tears. "So penitent he was, and made so much moan, alleging the ruin of his wife and children in this his trespass, as it wrought in the hearts of all the better sorts of the company". He managed to get his sentence commuted. Eventually the castaways built a small ship and sailed themselves to Jamestown. How long Stephen remained in Jamestown is not known. However, while he was gone, his first wife Mary died in Eng. Stephen was back in England by 1617, when he married Elizabeth Fisher, but apparently had every intention of bringing his family back to Virginia. Their first child, Damaris, was born about 1618. In 1620, Stephen Hopkins brought his wife, and children Constance, Giles, and Damaris on the Mayflower (child Elizabeth apparently had died). Stephen was a fairly active member of the Pilgrims shortly after arrival, perhaps a result of his being one of the few individuals who had been to Virginia previously. He was a part of all the early exploring missions, and was used almost as an "expert" on Native Americans for the first few contacts. While out exploring, Stephen recognized and identified an Indian deer trap. And when Samoset walked into Plymouth and welcomed the English, he was housed in Stephen Hopkins' house for the night. By the late 1630s, however, Stephen began to occasionally run afoul of the Plymouth authorities, as he apparently opened up a shop and served alcohol. In 1636 he got into a fight with John Tisdale and seriously wounded him. In 1637, he was fined for allowing drinking and shuffleboard playing on Sunday. Early the next year he was fined for allowing people to drink excessively in his house: guest William Reynolds was fined, but the others were acquitted. In 1638 he was twice fined for selling beer at twice the actual value, and in 1639 he was fined for selling a looking glass for twice what it would cost if bought in the Bay Colony.

His name first appears upon the "List of those able to Beare Arms in the Colony of Plymouth in 1643. In 1654 the name of Thomas Gibbs appears on a list of Sandwich men who pledged money to build a mill, and the next year he is listed among those pledged for the building of "a place for publick meetings" (Sandwich Proprietors' Records).

Years ago, the Church meeting house needed an addition and they had no where to go so they moved the graves of Clement and his wife Anna, along with other early Pioneers. They went farther back from the Church and dug a big hole and then put the remains dirt and all in this hole, and put a cement circle around it and a plaque telling that the Early Pioneers were there. In 1927 The Bates Association erected a stone on the site engraved with, "In Memory of Clement and Ann, Immigrant Ancestors".

He is listed in the 1900-01 Lawrence Directory as "foreman Pacific [illegible]" second hand, Lower Pacific yard, at 68 Butler St, Lawrence". In the 1902-03, as an overseer, Lower Packific yard, still living at 68 Butler St. The Lawrence Directory of 1903-04 said that he "removed to Everett", and there is no trace of him after that in Lawrence or Everett. He is not listed in the 1910 census; he is not listed in the Mass. Vital Records through 1951, and there is no record of his burial in the Methodist Church in Danville Canada through 1925. HOWEVER: I did find, buried in the Danville Protestant Cemetery where his parents are buried, this: "Gilman, Eugene, b. 1851, d. 1910, s/w & husband of Mary Leith" ... is this OUR Eugene?
