Over the next twenty-five years, the flow of families from Europe swelled, with seventy-one of our family ancestors making their way on 41 separate voyages to the New World. They continued to be predominantly English (60), but others began to follow including those coming from The Netherlands (5), Wales (3) and one each from Ireland and Scotland.

Their destinations also began to spread over the length of the colonies as they settled in Massachusetts (33), Virginia (21), New Amsterdam (6), New Jersey (3), Maine (3) and one each in Connecticut, Maryland and New Hampshire. One of the intrepid voyagers traveled inland after arriving, settling in Tennessee.

1626-29 John Townsend emigrated from Raynham Hall, Norfolk, England
Long Island City, Queens, New York most likely between the birth in England of his younger brother Henry in 1626 and his sister Bethia in 1629. He is a 10th great-grandfather in Glenna’s maternal lineage.
Aft 1629 Andrew & Mary (Wathen) Sargent. The most likely story of Andrew and Mary is that when Andrew was twenty-three, he and Mary emigrated to America, where they had a son in Gloucester, Essex Co, MASS in 1624. Gloucester was founded at Cape Ann by an expedition called the "Dorchester Company" of men from Dorchester (in the county of Dorset, England) chartered by James I in 1623. The new "Dorchester Company" purchased a ship—the Fellowship—that set out for New England in the summer of 1623 with the Reverend John White, rector of Holy Trinity, Dorchester, England, who was a prime mover in this enterprise. The colony at Gloucester did not flourish because of the terrain, with most remaining colonists relocating to Nahum Keike, later renamed Salem. Andrew & Mary are 9th great-grandparents in John Singer Sargent House and Glenna’s maternal line. Museum, built in 1782 by

Sargent Family Story
One record tells us that Andrew Sargent was a minister’s son and apprenticed to his father-in-law George Wathen, a joiner or woodworker, on 18 Feb 1628/29 for a term of seven years. It was discovered, however, that "upon examination of this man on complaint of t he company that the apprentice was married." In fact, Andrew had been married for four years but English law forbid apprentices from being mar ried. He was therefore discharged 27 Jun 1629. Obviously his father-in- law knew that he was married when he signed the contract. He and Mary sailed from England to start a new life in Massachusetts.
1631 John Elliot and most likely with his wife Hanah (Mumford – marriage dates vary with 1622 which would have been in England, or in the 1630s in MA). Either John or his son was known as the apostle to the Indians Elliot. John is an 11th great-grandfather in Glenna’s maternal line.

Historical Note: The Great Migration
The peak of the “Great Migration” from England to Massachusetts lasted about ten years (1629-40) and coincided with King Charles I dissolving parliament, leaving many Puritans without work and subject to persecution. “…he term “Great Migration” was coined for a reason: it reflected the greatness of the endeavor’s purpose rather than its size. The immigrants who came to New England differed from immigrants to other regions in a variety of ways, all stemming from their fundamental desire to obtain spiritual rather than economic rewards. Unlike colonists to other areas, those who migrated to New England had known relatively prosperous lives in England. In fact, it was a greater economic risk to leave than to stay. From the colonists’ perspective, they traded economic advantages and stability in a corrupt England for a more precarious economic situation tempered by the opportunity to live more pious and worthy lives in a Puritan commonwealth.” https://www.greatmigration.org/new_englands_great_migration.html

Historical Note: Tobacco and Servitude
The success of tobacco created a huge demand for labor, a need that was met through what was called the “Head Right” system. This system gave every immigrant who paid their own way 50 acres of land upon arrival to Virginia, and two Head Rights for each laborer whose passage was paid by a wealthy colonist. Implemented in 1618 it was accompanied by a system of Indenture, whereby someone could pay their passage by agreeing to work for the sponsoring colonist for 4-7 years. This was later replaced by slavery where there were no rights of freedom, and which status was passed down to any children born to a slave.

Historical Note: 17th Century Colonial LIfe
In the summer months, much of the cooking was done out-of-doors in huge pots slung from a tripod. The food for the servants went into a single pot, and their fare in “pap” was eaten in the open also, when the weather permitted. In the winter and during the cooler months, cooking was done on the hearth of an ample fireplace which customarily took up the greater part of the end of a room. If the family was of modest means, the kitchen area was the heart of the house. Here, in winter, was warmth, food and companionship. As the planter acquired numerous servants and preparation of food became an all-day matter, every day, the kitchen with its companion room, the buttery, was divorced from the house. Under this arrangement, the mistress of the household merely directed the preparation of food, the care of the dairy products, the salting of the meat, and the rendering of the lard. http://www.mamalisa.com/blog/domestic-life-in-the-colonies-in-the-17th-century/

1629-49 Sometime before their marriage in New York in 1649 Richard Willets and Mary Washburn left West, Wiltshire, England for the colonies, settling in Hempstead, Long Island, New York. They are 9th great-grandparents in Glenna’s maternal line.
1631-50 George Major came to New Kent, New Kent, Virginia from Hulsey Manor, Hampshire, England. He married Elizabeth Ironmonger and is a 9th great-grandfather in Glenna’s maternal line.
1628-53 William Hurt emigrated from Bristol, Staffordshire, England, settling in King William, Virginia, where he married Margaret Glover. Their daughter Margaret married Phillip Nathaniel Pendleton who arrived in 1674. William is a 9th great-grandfather in Glenna’s maternal line.
1620-50 Thomas Pasmere Carpenter left Plymouth, Devon, England and after arriving in the New England Colonies he moved to Virginia where he met and married a Native American, Pride Shawnee. They moved to and settled in Cherokee, Washington, Tennessee where they had their first child (Chief) Amotoya Moytoy I. They are 9th great-grandparents in Glenna’s maternal line.
1640-50 Adrian Dirksen & Chieltgen (Pierterse) Molenaar, and son Hendryk embarked from the Netherlands, journeying to New Jersey. Their son Hendryk would later marry into another branch of David’s maternal line, marrying Catherine Krom who came to New Netherlands later with her parents in 1662. They are 8th great-grandparents in David’s maternal line, while Hendryk and Catherine are 7th great-grandparents. Where exactly in New Jersey they arrived and lived is not known, but being early Dutch colonists, they likely went to the early settlement of Bergen, although Port Nassau is another possibility. Some family trees say Andrean (or Andraen) died in the Netherlands, but this is not consistent with the birth of his son Hendryk in the colonies.
1645 Col. Nathaniel Littleton from Hopton Castle, Henley, Shropshire, England emigrated to Accomack County, Virginia, at the age of 31 marrying Ann Southy in Norhampton. Ann was from England arriving in Jamestown in 1624. Like so many Virginians, Nathaniel had military service in the Netherlands. In 1640, he was chief magistrate of Accomack; in 1652, a member of the House of Burgesses, and a member of the Governor Wm. Berkeley's Executive Council. They are 10th great-grandparents in David’s paternal line.
1647 John Hardy, a 9th great-grandfather in Glenna’s maternal line, came from Bedfordshire, England to the Isle of Wight, Virginia where he met and married Rebecca Eborn, born in the colonies and parents unknown.
1650 Ninian Beal emigrated from St. Andrew’s Parish, Largo, Dumbarton, Fifeshire, Scotland first to Barbados. He married Jane Gordon in Calvert, Maryland. He is a 9th great-grandfather in David’s maternal line.
Historical Note: The Colonies as Punishment
Scotland had become Presbyterian, principally through the work of John Knox, although the Stuarts favored the Episcopal Church. In 1649, Cromwell's political power was enhanced by the removal of Presbyterian leaders from Parliament. In 1650, he invaded Scotland and defeated the Royalist Scots at Dunbar. More than 3,000 Scotsmen were slaughtered on the field and 10,000 prisoners were taken. The wounded among these were released, but 5,000 were sent into virtual slavery in Northumbria, and the rest were shipped off to America and the West Indies. Among these was Ninian Beall who held a commission as a cornetist in the Scottish-English Army under Leslie raised to resist Cromwell, and fought and was made prisoner in the battle of Dunbar, September 3, 1650. He was sentenced to five years of servitude and, after a short stay in Ireland, was packed into the hold of a prison ship with 149 other Scotsmen and sent to Barbadoes, West Indies. About 1652, he was transferred, still a prisoner, to the Province of Maryland where he served five years with Richard Hall of Calvert County. http://krystalrose.com/kim/BEALL/ninian1.html
