    Notes:

    "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.

    "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).

    Page 6: ANDREW MANSFIELD was born in England about 1620. He came to Boston in 1636 and to Lynn in 1639 before his father (Lewis and Newhall, p. 187).

    On 26 March 1661 being then about 38 years old, he made affidavit to the Court at Ipswich, Mass., that he had been an inhabitant of Lynn about 22 or 23 years ....

    and in June 1669 "about 49 years old, he testified in court concerning the estate of Frances Axey." (Records and files of the Quarterly Courts of Essex County, Mass. Vol. VIII 1680-1683 p. 256-257, also Warner).

    . 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.

    Andrew was very active in Town affairs. He was made freeman 8 July 1645. He was a selectman, was on committees for laying out roads and settling land disputes. He served as trial juror and on Grand Jury 1650-1677. He was called "sergeant" from 15 March 1663. This showed the confidence which the people had for his legal ability. "There are many letters on file in the clerk of the courts office of Essex County in his clear legiable handwriting showing his ability and that the esteem in which he was held was well merited. He was deputy to the General Court from l880-1883 [sic] inclusive. By reference to the Court records it wilt be seen that he was entrusted by that body with important commissions." (Moulton).

    Andrew was married three times;
    1st about 1850 to BETHIAH who died 2 July 1672. Bethiah's maiden name may have been Gedney (Lynn Hist. Register 1913) or Townsend (Warner-Harrington Genealogy).

    He married second 4 June 1673, MRS. MARY NEAL, widow of John Neal and only child Of Francis Lawes, a wealthy citizen of Salem. She died 27 June 1681.

    He married third, 10 Jan. 1661-82, MRS. ELIZABETH CONANT widow of Lot Conant of Beverly and daughter of Rev. Wm. and Elizabeth Walton of Marblehead. She was born in England, baptized at the Parish of Seaton, Devonshire 27 Oct. 1629. She died 29 Sept. 1674.

    She had 10 children by her first marriage and two of her sons, Nathaniel and John Conant had previously married two of Andrew's daughters.

    Andrew lived in Beverly for a time after he married Elizabeth Conant.

    . Andrew's will was dated 1 June 1679, with a codicil dated at Boston 19 Nov. 1683. It seems that while attending the General Court he was taken suddenly and seriously ill, as the codicl was witnessed by members of the court then in session. The Exact date of his death is not known but the inventory of his estate was returned to the Probate Court 28 Nov. 1683, nine days after the codicil was made (Moulton).

    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.

    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.
