Notes:

He married Sarah (Mansfield) on November 29, 1787 in Baltimore County, Maryland. A part of Maryland is now Washington County, Pa. The couple came to Harrison County in 1805.
According to the Harrison Co. History, written in the 1880's, Nathan had told that his parents came to America at the beginning of the French and Indian War. (1756-1763)

Note: if this is true, then he is not the son of Richard and Mary Gassaway as many people have him since Richard was not an immigrant, nor was his parents, Charles Cheney Jr & Mary Powell. Internet records are not consistent. Until something comes up more authenticated, I tend to think Nathan might be a dead-end. His marriage record shows him born about 1760; meaning he was possibly also an immigrant.

The Chaneys are rumored to have been Native American and if they were in Jackson Township in 1805, this would be so, as that's the only population there! Interesting fact: Near that time Coshocton was known as the Delaware Indian Capitol of United States.
The Chaney family often traveled back and forth between Harrison County and Coshocton County, as did the Randles & Fivecoat families.
On June 9, 2009, Larry Dean, his wife Sheila and myself proceeded to find the tombstone of Mary. Although, I had found the stone and subsequently the obituary many years previous, I could not find it again. With great joy, Larry spotted it. Mary is his gr gr gr grandmother. We both took a picture of the tombstone. It is very weathered and we could not make out the day she was born!
The will of Issac Randles, Mary's husband, was probated April 4, 1842 in Coshocton County, Ohio.

Immigration:

From the "Wall Family Tree" database on Ancestry.com:
. JOSEPH MANSFIELD (second of the name) son of Joseph and Elizabeth (Needham) Mansfield, was born about 1655 or 1656. He deposed on the 25th of March 1682 that he was then about 26 years of age. According to the Lynn record he was born 20: 1 m, 1660 (20 March 1660/1) eleven months before his mother's death. That he was older than his brother John (whose birth is not recorded) is shown from the order of listing in their father's will and in that of their grandfather Needham, and the grandfather (in or about 1676) called John the grandson "which I have brought up since his childhood till now he is about 15 years old." It would seem that the Lynn record applied to John, not to Joseph.

BIRTH, DEATH & BURIAL Thomas, Jr. was born on 23 August 1658 in Ipswich, Essex co., MA[2,3,25,26,27] and died in what was then North Chelsea and is now Revere, Suffolk co., MA on 27d:11m:1749; he was 91[3,26,28]. He was buried in Old Graveyard in Revere, Suffolk co., MA. OCCUPATION Thomas was a Clergyman. He graduated from Harvard College in 1677 and lived to be the oldest surviving graduate of Harvard College[27,29]. He began preaching at Malden on 14 February 1679/80 and was ordained there on 27 July 1681 as a colleague of Michael Wigglesworth (brother of Abigail Wigglesworth, the wife of Benjamin Sweetser). He was dismissed in 1686 from this church when he moved to Rumney Marsh. From 1686 until 1715, he was in comparative retirement there. In 1715, he was chosen as pastor of the newly gathered church at Rumney Marsh. Thomas also taught school in Rumney Marsh as early at 1709, "teaching reading, writing and cyphering at his home to an average of twenty pupils."[30]

"His early ministerial life was clouded by grave charges" but in 1722 and 1735 he was invited back to his old church in Malden to preach there. These sermons were published in 1726[31]. On 24 September 1747, due to his advanced age of 89, he was relieved at his own request and Nathaniel Oliver, Jr. was appointed scribe to keep the records and proceedings of the church. On 13 April 1748, The Reverend William McClenachan was appointed associate pastor to Rev. Cheever and he was formerly installed on 21 December 1748 as Cheever¹s colleague[31].

RESIDENCES Thomas moved from Ipswich, Essex co., MA to either Malden, Middlesex co., MA or Rumney Marsh, Suffolk co., MA after his ordination date in 1681[2].

On 22 October 1689, Reverend Cheever bought the Parker-Cheever farm from the three Bill brothers (James, Jr., Jonathan and Joseph of Pullen Point), brothers-in-law of Cheever for £357. It was a farm of 120 acres and Reverend Thomas deeded it to his son Nathan on 29 December 1738. Reverend Cheever was the first owner of the farm who actually lived upon it[33]. The location of this farm is west of what is now Broadway and north of Fenno Street in Revere, Suffolk co., MA[34].

On 27 April 1685, their three sons James, Jr. Jonathan & Joseph together bought the Parker-Cheever Farm in Rumney Marsh for £300. The Cheevers became tenants on the farm the next year and bought the farm from the three brothers on 22 October 1689 for £357. It had 120 acres[33].

NEIGHBORLY SERVICE The will of John Tuttle of Rumney Marsh was in the handwriting of Rev. Thomas Cheever[32].

MARRIAGE #1 Circa 1681 when Thomas was 22, he first married Sarah BILL, daughter of James BILL Sr. & Mary [surname not known], in Boston, Suffolk co. or Lexington, Middlesex co., MA[3,35,36,1,37,38,19,7,39,8,15,40].

They settled at Cheney's Resolution in Anne Arundel County. Richard became one of the largest land owners in the South River Hundred and owned 1,110 acres. His plantations were called Cheney's Hill, Cheney's Neck, Cheney's Hazard, Cheney's Rest, and Cheney's Purchase. He patented them in March 1661/62.

Cheney's Hill has been the site of an archaeological dig. The home was situated on a hill and the site yielded "shards of imported German pottery, beads for Indian trading, pipes, utensils, a finger-length iron key, glass, a brick and other common items."

His second wife was Eleanor.
Their children probably included:
Thomas Cheney (1669),

"Mansfield Genealogy - Descendants of Robert and Elizabeth Mansfield and Sons Andrew and Joseph who came to Lynn 1639-1640" compiled by Geneva A. Daland & James S. Mansfield, M.D., 1980 (p.5).
. Pagse 9-10: JOSEPH MANSFIELD (Robert1) was born in or before 1628 (de Forest, 1930), died 22 April 1694 at Lynn (Lynn V.R.). He Married before June, 1652, ELIZABETH NEEDHAM, who died 25 Feb. 1662 at Lynn (Lynn V.R.), daughter of Edmund and Jone Needham of Lynn.

Jospeh was sworn as a freeman at a court held in Salem, 27: 4: 1649.

He was a soldier in the Narragansett War in 1675 (Mass. Colonial Records 5: 70).

He was listed as in Capt. Samuel Appleton's company, 10 Dec. 1675 (N.E. Hist. Gen. Reg. 38: 441).

In 1685 he was one of 25 Lynn residents who signed a petition to the Massachusetts General Court for remuneration for their service in the 1675 war (Lynn Town Records 27 May 1685).

On 8 Jan. 1691 a Lynn Town Meeting voted "yt Matthew Farington, senr., Henry Silsbee, and Joseph Mansfield, senr., should sit in ye Decons seats." (Records of Town Meetings of Lynn, 1691-1701, published by Lynn Historical Soc., 1949).

At a meeting of Lynn selectmen, 29 Feb. 1692, Joseph Mansfield was chosen one of five surveyors of the highways, and

at a meeting 7 March 1693/4 he was chosen one of three Tithing Men (pp.10,22).

The will of Edmund Needham, Joseph's father-in-law, dated 26: 4th mo.: 1677, and proved 29: 4th mo.: 1677 (Quarterly Courts of Essex County, VI: 303) makes bequests to Joseph's four children: "First, (to) his son Joseph Mansfield, one yo (young) sheep, and to his next son, John Mansfield, whom I have brot up ever since his childhood till now he is about 15 years old, to him, the said John Mansfield I give one cow and on you sheep not exceeding 4 years old, and to his daughter, Elizabeth Wheat, on yo sheep, and to Deborah Mansfield on yo sheep."


The will of Joseph Mansfield, dated 4 Apr. 1694 and proven 2 July 1694 (Probate Records Essex Co. 3:166) gave to his son Joseph "my now dwelling house and my lot with my housing upon it, and the orchard." These were the premise Joseph had received by gift from his father, Robert, 16 Jun 1652; also several parcels of salt and fresh marsh. To son John "that piece of land I bought of Mr. Ruck, adjoining to the land that was Andrew Townsend's:" also upland in Ramsdell's Neck, and salt marsh. He mentions that John had been gone to sea about five years, and "I knoe not whether he be dead or alive; if he is dead or never comes home to new England, then son Joseph is to have all (that was) bequeathed to John. If John have occasion to sell, then Joseph is to have refusal, giving as much as another would give. To daughter Elizabeth 20 pounds in corn, cattle or goods; or if she claims land, then to have three acres of fresh meadow in the great meadow in the country, in lieu of the 20." Elizabeth's husband Joshua Wheat, died in 1692, in his 94th year. Essex Court records give his name as Joshua Witt, and in Lewis and Newhall's History of Lynn it is "J. Wait." Their children were Moses, b. 30 May 1676, d. 15 June1676, and Mary.

. A deed dated 16 JUN 1652, by Robert, gave to his son, Joseph the homestead first referred to, on condition that he should provide for his father and mother during their lives. (Quarterly Courts of Essex County, VIII, pp.254-256). These pemises were bounded, east, by John Witt; west, by Francis Burrill; south, by the County Road; and north, by "The Rocks", and consisted of nine acres, with buildings and orchard. Robert and his wife doubtless lived and died on these premises, which remained in the possession of their descendants for several generations. The old house, whch stood on Boston Street at thhe sorner of Moulton Street, entil about the 1890's is said by tradition to hhave been built in 1666. Joseph Moulton, a descendant, repaired and remodelled it in 1844. His widow, Anna Mansfield, lived in it until shhe died, in 1895. The deed of 1652 to his son, Joseph, also included eight other parcels of land in Lynn, totalling 34 acres.

From the "Wall Family Tree" database on Ancestry.com:
. JOSEPH MANSFIELD, born in England, youngest son of Robert and Elizabeth Mansfield, married Elizabeth Needham, daughter of Edmund Needham of Lynn, who in his will bequeathed to son-in-law Joseph Mansfield's children, naming each of the four. He had outlived his daughter, their mother. Joseph's wife died the 25th of the 12th month (Feb.) 1661/2. During King Philip's war he was a trooper in Captain Appleton's company and was in the Great Swamp Fight December 19, 1675. In 1685, citizens of several Massachusetts towns, men who had been in active service in the war, petitioned the General Court for a grant of land in the Nipmugg country, and his name is on the Lynn list. The petition was granted; but the Andros administration came into power, and probably the Indian outbreaks at intervals thereafter also contributed to delay, so that it was nearly fifty years before new settlements were opened up, and but few of the original grantees were then living.

The first mention of Isaac Williams in Salem town records is dated July 7, 1659. At a meeting of the selectmen he and Henry Skerry were chosen to seal the weights. He would then be about thirty years old since according to the list of Early settlers of Essex and Old Norfolk he was aged 36 in 1665. That he belonged to the second generation of a Williams family of New England seems probable. The name was not an uncommon one in the Massachusetts Bay region in the early years. He is called Constable October 15, 1664, in a Quarterly Court record.

His wife's name was Margery and in all probability she was the daughter of Henry and Ann Collins, aged two when brought to New England in 1635 with her brothers, Henry aged 5 and John aged 3.

The birth of a daughter, Elizabeth Williams, August 23, 1660, is the earliest of their family records in Salem, followed by the birth of Isaac, December 20, 1662. Sarah and Deborah were both baptized the 5th of June 1664, but that they were older than Elizabeth is shown not only from the order of their listing in their father's will but from the date of the marriage of Deborah to Joseph Gray, August 10, 1675, eleven years after her baptism. It would appear that these two daughters had been born before the family settled in Salem. Five children (Benjamin, two Jonathans, John and one unnamed) all older than Ebenezer (who was baptized in December 1674) doubtless died young since their names do not appear in their father's will.

Ebenezer Stocker (1), was of Lynn, Massachusetts, as early
as 1674, when he married Captain Marshall's daughter Sarah. This is the first definite mention of his name in colonial
history, although there is ground for the belief that he was a son of Thomas Stocker, who was a tenant on the Cogan farm in Rumney Marsh, Chelsea, in 1640, road surveyor in 1652 and 1654, and constable of Rumney Marsh district in 1661. His name and that of his son Thomas appear on the Rumney Marsh
tax list in 1674, and both the elder Thomas and his wife Martha were members of the church in Lynn about that time. The records show that by wife Martha Thomas Stocker had a son Thomas and a daughter Elizabeth, and it is probable that they also had sons Samuel, who married Mary Witt in June, 1665. Daniel, who married Margery Salmon in 1672, and Ebenezer of whom mention has been made and who is the earliest known ancestor of the family treated in this place.

Ebenezer Stocker married, July 15, 1674, Sarah Marshall, born February 14, 1655, daughter of Captain Thomas Marshall, who was one of the leading characters in early Lynn history. He came to Lynn in the ship "James" of London in 1635, and soon after ward was admitted freeman. Later he returned to England and fought under Cromwell, who made him captain. He served several years in the army and then returned to Lynn
"laden with military glory," as Mr. Lewis says in his "Annals of Lynn." He was representative to the general court six times, and in Lynn kept tavern on the west side of Sawyers river, where "with all the frankness and hospitality of a firm old English gentleman he kept open doors for the accommodation of the travelling public for more than forty years." He died December 23, 1689, and his wife Rebecca died in August, 1693.

-----
BIRTH Ezekiel was born on 25 January 1614/15 in London, Hampstead, Middlesex, England[1]. DEATH & BURIAL He died in Boston, Suffolk co., MA on 21 August 1708; he was 94[2] and is buried in the Granary Burying Ground, Boston, Suffolk co., MA. His death record in the Boston vital records is most detailed: "Cheever, Ezekiel, schoolmaster, b. Jan. 25, 1614, in London, d. Aug. 21, 1708. M.C.". OCCUPATION & FAMILY Ezekiel is an example of how one could emigrate from England to America in the 17th century and rise far beyond what his station in life would have been had he remained in England. His grandfather was a Yeoman and father was a Skinner. But Ezekiel was most noted as Headmaster of the Boston Latin School. Boston Latin is the oldest public school in the country and still remains as a public school today. His sons graduated from Harvard College in Cambridge, Middlesex co., MA and became noted ministers in the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Quite a rise in a single lifetime. EMIGRATION & RESIDENCES He emigrated from London to Boston, Suffolk co., MA before 1637. The exact date and name of the ship is lost. In 1638, they moved to New Haven, New Haven co., CT, where his first wife died in 1649. In 1650, he moved the family back to Massachusetts, removing to Ipswich, Essex co., MA. Then, in November 1661, he was back in Charlestown, Suffolk co., MA. Finally, he removed to Boston, Suffolk co., MA by 6 January 1670, where he apparently remained until his death in 1708[2,3]. LEGAL WRANGLINGS AND HIS SECOND WIFE Much is known of Ezekiel's second wife Ellen Lathrop's brother Thomas, but little of her. He was a hero of the King Philip's War and was killed at the Battle of Bloody Brook. Having died intestate, the wrangling over his estate provides much of the information on Ellen. Most of this information is from her husband's depositions, and can be considered quite biased since the Cheevers were trying to get the courts to give Thomas' estate to them instead of giving it to Thomas' wife, Bethiah. After nearly a decade of legal wrangling over the estate, the estate was left to his wife Bethiah, going to his sister Ellen and her heirs after Bethiah's death.

According to her husband's testimony, she was brought over from England with her brother Thomas, arriving in Salem in 1633[20]. Ezekiel's testimony is as follows: "My brother, when he brought his sister from England with him from all her friends and relations very loathe to part with her, used this as a great argument with her mother to persuade her. Viz: That he had no children of his own, nor was likely to have any: and otherwise he must give what he had to strangers..."

Wikipedia
Ezekiel Cheever (1614?1708) was a schoolmaster, and the author of "probably the earliest American school book", Accidence, A Short Introduction to the Latin Tongue.[1] Upon his death, it was said that "New England [had] never known a better teacher."[2] He has been called "the chief representative of the colonial schoolmaster".[1]

Cheever came to Boston, Massachusetts in June 1637. Not much later, he went to New Haven, Connecticut and taught school.[3] In 1650, Cheever moved the family back to Massachusetts. On December 29, 1670, he was invited to become Head Master of the Boston Latin School.[2] He taught for seventy years, the last thirty-eight as master of the Boston Latin School.[1] Cotton Mather gave the sermon at his funeral.[3]

Ezekiel Cheever School named in his honor
Ezekiel Cheever School was a school located on Lombard St. in the Fair Haven neighborhood of New Haven, Connecticut, USA. The school opened in 1896[1] and remained as late as 1967.[2] It was named for schoolteacher Ezekiel Cheever.

Ezekiel* married Ellen* Lathrop (or Lothrop), (immigrant) on 18 Nov 1652. Ellen* (daughter of Lathrop (or Lothrop)) was born in 1625 in England; died on 10 Sep 1706 in Boston, Suffolk Co, Massachusetts. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

On November 18, 1652, Ezekiel married Ellen Lathrop who was the sister of Capt Thomas Lathrop, a casualty during King Philip's War.[3][5] Ezekiel and Ellen had five children. Their son, Rev Thomas, graduated from Harvard in 1677. Their son, Ezekiel Cheever, was a resident at Salem Village during the time of the Witch Trials.

"Mansfield Genealogy - Descendants of Robert and Elizabeth Mansfield and Sons Andrew and Joseph who came to Lynn 1639-1640" compiled by Geneva A. Daland & James S. Mansfield, M.D., 1980 (pp.1-3):

ROBERT MANSFIELD was born in England about 1594 (1797 Mr. and Mrs. Warner) and died at Lynn, Mass., 16 Dec, 1666 (Lynn V,R.) and married ELIZABETH in England.

Robert, with his wife Elizabeth. their son Joseph and daughter Elizabeth came from England to Lynn, Massachusetts about 1640. Their sons Andrew and John had preceded them in Lynn, as shown by two recorded depositions made by Andrew. At a court held in Ipswich 26 March 1661 Andrew Mansfield, aged about 38 years, made affidavit that he had been an inhabitant of Lynn "aboute two or three and twenty yeares." (Lewis and Newhall, History of Lynn, 1865 ed., p,17E).

On 30 Nov. 1062, before the court at lpswich, in the case of Brown vs. Laughton, Andrew stated (Quarterly Courts of Essex Co., Vol. VIII' pp.25e-257)that "about 43 years since (1639), he and his brother John bought of Mr. Manton, so called, a little house and house-lot and planting lot belonging to it in Lynn, and that the next summer their father, Robert. came into the country and they surrendered it up to him." It seems probable that Andrew and John came to Boston as early as 1636.

. Where the Robert Mansfield family came from in England is not clear. They are said to have come from Exeter, Devonshire (Ms. Genealogy # 166, The Mansfield Family, in the Lynn Historical Society library.- Lewis and Newhall, p.187; Dr. Joseph Mansfield genealogy Ms, and manuscript of Charles F. Mansfield and Charles E. Lord, The Ancestors and Descendants of Lt. Tobias Lord, 1913, p. 191).

Other Sources say that they probably came from Norfolk County. Moulton says "investigations In England by C, H, Townsend Esq. of New Haven tend to show they came from Norfolk County whence came many of the early settlers of Lynn" also in manuscripts by Helen Mansfield, and Helen Lawton and Chandler's History of New Ipswich, N.H. It has not been possible to find any documentary evidence for either Exeter or Norfolk County.

. Robert Mansfield's name appears in many court and town records. His mark is found in Suffolk Deeds, Vol.II, p.266, dated 8 JAN 1665.

On 9 JUL 1644 he was suued by one John Poole, :for taking away his arms" (Quarterly Courts of Essex County, I:64).

On 5 JUL 1646, Robert was freed from paying a fine for not training, because of age (Quarterly Courts of Essex County, I:192).

On 31 AUG 1647 Robert was sworn constable of Lynn (Essex Inst. Hist. Coll., VII, p.18).

On 20 MAY 1650 (Essex Deeds, Vol.I, pp. 17 & 31) he bought four acres of salt marsh in Lynn from Samuel Bennett.

. By deed dated 10 JUN 1650 Robert, with the consent of his wife, Elizabeth, "in consideration of their son Andrew living with them until the time of his marriage as a faithful and obedient child, "gave him, as a child's portion, a house and house-lot, six acres, more or less, with the enclosure adjoining to the north end of it, the whole being bounded, easterly, by land of Hugh Burt and the Rocky Hill of Andrew Mansfield; westerly, by the house lot Thomas Townsend and the street; north by the County Highway (now Boston Street); and south, by the town highway; besides other property in various parts of Lynn.

. Robert did grand jury duty at Salem Court in June, 1654 (Quarterly Courts of Essex County III: 402-403)

. On 20 JAN 1659 Robert and his son John bought of John Dekin a house, barn, orchard and one-half acre of land, which property Robert and Elizabeth, and John and his wife Mary sold to Benjamin Brisco of Boston, on 6 MAR 1659/60. (Essex Deeds Vol.2, pp.62,76).

By the deed of 20 JAN 1659 Robert also bought three acres of land in Ramsdell's Neck, and ten acres which had been given to Dekin by the town of Lynn.

. Robert's will (Probate Records of Essex Co., Mass., Vol II, pp.78-79), was dated 3 AUG 1664 and was proved in Ipswich Court, 26 MAR 1667. The inventory of his estate was attested in the same court, 30 APR 1667, by his son, John.

Robert* married Elizabeth* Townsend(?), (immigrant) about 1617 in England. Elizabeth* was born in 1586 in England; died before 26 Nov 1673 in Lynn, Essex Co, Massachusetts (at age 87); was buried in Old Western Burial Ground, Lynn, Essex Co, Massachusetts. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events and Attributes:

• Will: 20 Apr 1667, Lynn, Essex Co, Massachusetts

Notes:

According to Essex County vital records, Elizabeth Mansfield died in 1673 at 87 years, hence she was born in 1586. In NEHGR 29:97, an article on the Townshend family, it is stated that the parents of Elizabeth Townshend were married around 1589 or 90, so Elizabeth Townshend couldn't fit into their family. On the other hand, if she was really born in 1586, she would have been 8 years older than her husband, not impossible, but unlikely. It is possible there was an overstatement of her age at death, which was fairly common in those days, especially for older people. Then she could have been around age 77 at her death, two years younger than her husband, and she would fit perfectly in the Townshend family. One more thing, if she was actually born in 1586, she would have been 42 at the birth of her youngest child, again not impossible, but very unlikely. The article in NEHGR only says that there was a Townshend daughter named Elizabeth, probably born in 1596, it gives no biographical information about her. If she was of the Townsend family of Bracon Ash, Norfolk, there is a good explanation of how she came to Lynn. Her older brother, Thomas came from London to Lynn in 1635. That Thomas Townsend, when he died in Lynn in 1677, was 83 years old, matching the birth record of Thomas Townsend in Bracon Ash.
-------
further notes on her parentage:
Robert married in England, about 1620, Elizabeth, possibly Elizabeth Townsend, the daughter of Henry Townsend and Margaret Forthe. Because the marriage record of Robert and Elizabeth has never been found, her maiden name is not known for certain, but it is thought to have been Townsend. The Townsend family came to Lynn in the same period as the Mansfields. Thomas Townsend (1595-1677) owned land next to the Mansfields, and it is known that he had a sister named Elizabeth.

Will:
The will of Elizabeth Mansfield was written on April 20, 1667. She mentions her sons Joseph & Andrew, but not John. She calls her daughter Elizabeth Tomsone. She also mentions all four of son Joseph's children. The will was proved on November 26, 1673. The inventory says that Elizabeth died about September 6, 1673, and was "aged about eighty-seven years". The Old Western Burying Ground was the only cemetery in use by the whole town from its founding in 1635 until about 1720. No other place of burial, public or private, is know to have been used until the church in Lynnfield was established in 1720. Her marker would be unreadable by now.

Edmund Marshall, the immigrant
ancestor of the family here treated, was born in England in 1598, according to his own depo sition made in 1668, and at that time his wifeMilicent was sixty-seven years old. He was
in Salem, Massachusetts, in 1636, a weaver, was admitted freeman in 1637 and in 1646, or soon afterward, removed to Ipswich and there founded a notable family. The date of his
death is unknown. His children were Naomi, baptized January 24, 1637; Ann, born April 15, 1638; Ruth, May 3, 1640; Sarah, May 29, 1642; Edmund, June 16, 1644; Benjamin,

Edmund* married Mrs. Milicent* (..) Marshall. Milicent* was born in 1601; died after 1668 in Lynn, Essex Co, Massachusetts. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

some records think he was son of John Lathrop and Hannah Howse, however, per a post-in note in rootsweb tree:

There is at least some evidence to the contrary that the famous Thomas Lathrop is a son of Rev. John Lathrop: Captain Thomas Lothrop is listed in Rev E. B Huntington's "Genealogical Memoir of the Lo-Lathrop family..." in the appendix on Unconnected Immigrants, Page 401-408. Huntington says "Of the parentage of this famous pioneer in early Massachusetts history, we have not been able to learn. He was a near kinsman of Rev John of Barnstable, and had preceded him, by some months certainly, to his American home. ..." Huntington gives a lengthy report of his exploits and reports he left no children. His sister Ellen Lothrop married Ezekiel Cheever of Salem.

Whether EB Huntington is correct, I do not know.

Other Events and Attributes:

• Immigration: Between 1634 and 1635, Boston, Suffolk Co, Massachusetts

Notes:

BIRTH Based on the date of the birth of his oldest son, John was probably born circa 1590-1595.
DEATH John died in 10m(December):1638 in Boston, Suffolk co., MA. Some sources claim that this death record is a misspelled entry for "James Bill". See the discussion under John Bill, Jr.'s [#5] entry below. However, Richard Tuttle became responsible for Dorothy Tuttle Bill's affairs after her husband John's death -- via a writ of 21 January 1638/9, 1 month after his death. This writ proves to me that the death record is not only correctly spelled, but indicates the death of this John Bill.
ORIGINAL RESIDENCE John is possibly of Ringstead, Northamptonshire, England. The Mary Bill who traveled with Dorothy Tuttle's brother William aboard the Planter is believed to be John Sr.'s daughter and surmised to be from this area[2,3].
MIGRATION While a John Bill is listed as emigrating aboard the Hopewell, Mr. William Bundocke, master, in 1635, he is on the manifest as 13 years of age and so is not this John Bill. Instead, it is believed to be his son John, Jr[1]. The Hopewell voyage mentioned here also carried the Farrington family and embarked from London to New England at the same time as the Planter, which carried the Tuttle clan to America.
MARRIAGE Circa 1615 John married Dorothy TUTTLE, daughter of [not known] TUTTLE & Isabel [surname not known], in England[4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12].

Immigration:
While a John Bill is listed as emigrating aboard the Hopewell, Mr. William Bundocke, master, in 1635, he is on the manifest as 13 years of age and so is not this John Bill. Instead, it is believed to be his son John, Jr[1]. The Hopewell voyage mentioned here also carried the Farrington family and embarked from London to New England at the same time as the Planter, which carried the Tuttle clan to America.
