For the best biography of him see newenglandancestors.org and scroll down to "Gibbins"

Born "By about 1592 based on estimated date of marriage." Described as "Gent" in a 22 April 1635 grant of New Hampshire to Captain John Mason (see Yale.edu).

"As early as 9 March 1621/2 Ambrose Gibbons was involved with John Mason's plans for colonizing northern New England. [New Hampshire Provincial Papers 29:23 as cited in Anderson, Great Migration Begins, vol 2., p.747). He settled in New Hampshire [or Maine? See below] in 1630, and was a factor or steward for the Laconia Company. His letters to company Adventurers in London and their replies provide much of the detail for early histories of New Hampshire. Often these letters were about the need for more supplies:

"For myself, my wife and child and four men we have but half a barrel of corn; beef and pork I have not had but one piece this three months, nor beer this four months; for I have for two and twenty months had but two barrels of beer and two barrels and four bushels of malt; our number commonly had been ten. I nor the servants have neither money nor clothes. I have been as spare as I could, but it will not do ... The vines that were planted will come to little. They prosper not in the ground they were set." [Ambrose Gibbons, 13 July 1633, as quoted in New Hampshire Provincial Papers 1:81-82 as cited in Anderson, Great Migration Begins, vol. 2, p. 748).

Captain John Mason replied: "I have strained myself to do this at this present, and could have wished that the rest would have joined to have sent out some provisions for trade and support of the place; but that failing, I have directed to you as, a token from myself, one hogshead of malt to make you some beer. The servants with you, and such others as remain upon the company's charge, are to be discharged, and paid their wages out of the stock of beaver in your hands at the rate of 12s. the pound .... The crystal stones you sent are of little or no value unless they were so great to make drinking cups or some other works, as pillars for fair looking glasses or for garnishing rich cabinets. Good iron or lead ore I should like better of if it could be found"

Captain Mason, whose most distinctive claim to fame was owning present-day New Hampshire, despaired of realizing any kind of benefit from his investment. He had heard there was a large lake inland where he mistakenly believed a lot of wealth could be found. He urged Ambrose Gibbons to find this lake. Ambrose replied that if he had horses and a couple of good strong men, he would.

His 1630 arrival is also described in "THE FIRST PERMANENT SETTLEMENT IN MAINE" (1926) by ES Stackpole and an argument made that Ambrose Gibbins' "Great House at Newichawannock" was the first permanent European settlement in Maine, and not located in New Hampshire at all:

"On an elevation of land a short distance north of the mouth of Asbenbedick River, now known as Great Works River, Gibbons built his house. He calls it the Great House at Newichawannock, and it was large enough to accommodate 10 persons ordinarily. The house must have been built of hewn logs. A storehouse and barn were built and a well was dug within two years. All were inclosed within a palisade. The house stood three or four rods south of the house built by Isaac B. Yeaton and now owned and occupied by Perley Varney and Dean Varney. A slight depression indicates an old cellar and some very large elm trees stand a little east of it. East of the road is a steep declivity sloping down to the water, an along this declivity stretch for a furlong or so artificial terraces as plainly seen as if they had been made recent, Midway of the terraces and opposite the site of the Great House is the well dug by Ambrose Gibbons about 1632 and dug out by Mr. Varney in 1925. Here was the "Vineyard"..."

A good recounting of what is known of Ambrose Gibbins appears at CyberAncestors.com

He died between 11 July 1656 (date of will) and 9 May 1657 (probate of will).

This place has probably changed somewhat since Joseph Hull was there in about 1612 and 1614 - a Youtube video

11334. Rev. Joseph HULL [image] 1 was born on 25 Apr 1594 in Crewkerne, Somersetshire, England. He was christened on 26 Apr 1596 in Windham, Crewkerne, Somersetshire, England. He died on 19 Nov 1665 in Old Parish, Accomenticus (York), York, Maine. He married Unknown in 1618 in Crevekerne, Somerset, England. [Parents]

"Rev. Joseph Hull, son of Thomas and Joanne (Peson) Hull was born about 1595 in Crewkerne, Somersetshire, England, where his parents were married 11 January 1572/3 (Somersetshire Parish Register 5:6). At the age of 17 years (22 May 1612) he matriculated at Oxford University and was admitted to the degree B.A. 14 Nov 1614. He was instituted rector of Northleigh in the County of Devon, 4 April 1621. He resigned there in 1632 and from the vicinity of Crewkerne he gathered a company of 106 souls who, under his leadership on 20 March 1635, sailed from Weymouth in Dorset. They landed at Dorchester, Massachusetts Bay, 7 June 1635 and he was a deputy from Hingham to the General Court, 7 September 1638 and again 13 March 1639.

"He was made freeman 2 September 1635. He was an Episcopal clergyman and preached at Weymouth, Hingham, Barnstable and Yarmouth, Massachusetts, and in 1643 he removed to York, Maine. He went back to England in 1652 but returned to New England and is recorded as minister at Oyster River (now Durham, New Hampshire).

"He married ... 2nd, also in England, prior to 1635, Agnes ________. He died 19 November 1665 at the Isle of Shoals, New Hampshire." (Heard-Hurd Genealogy 1610-1987, p. 2, reference to the first wife deliberately omitted due to an apparent error in a 1913 Hull genealogy that Heard-Hurd Genealogy apparently follows. See note for Joseph's wife, below)

"... was minister (besides in Massachusetts) in Maine, and (in 1662) at Oyster River, when he went to the Isles of Shoals, and died there ... his wife Agnes brought in his inventory in which is an item, 'The Islands indebted to my husband for his Ministry, £20.' " (Wentworth Gen., p. 160 footnote).

" ' An excommunicated person and very contentious' " comment attributed to Gov. Winthrop as cited in a register style text (Savage?) p. 357. (See this register for further detail including college within Oxford that he graduated from, his ejection from various positions).

"Rev. Joseph Hull ... was minister (besides in Massachusetts) in Maine, and (in 1662) at Oyster River [N.H.], when he went to the Isles of Shoals, and died there 19 November 1663; his widow Agnes brought in his inventory in which is an item, 'The Islands indebted to my husband for his ministry, L20.'" (From Wentworth Genealogy, p. 160).

Wentworth Genealogy, p.160, also states that Savage is incorrect in citing a
Benjamin Hull as Elizabeth's parent.

Cited as parent of Elizabeth (Hull) Heard in Heard-Hurd Genealogy, p.1.

11335. Unknown 1.

Hull family association states there is no proof of the marriage of Joanne Coffin to Rev. Joseph Hull, and therefore she may not be our ancestress. Until we can confirm who was the mother of each of the children, we will show this lady as "unknown."

"Rev. Joseph Hull did not marry Joanna Coffin, as his first wife. There is also no proven evidence that Rev. Joseph even married a Joanna. It is well documented that the given name of his second wife was Agnes, but her surname is unknown; there is absolutely no evidence that she was Agnes Coffin."

A suggested family tree

11344. Christopher WENTWORTH 1 was born in 1556 in Of Alford, Lincoln, England. He died before 15 May 1633 in Alford, Lincs., Eng. He was buried before 15 May 1633. He married Catharine MARBURY on 19 Aug 1583 in Lincoln,Lincoln,Eng. [Parents]

Christopher Wentworth, "it is greatly to be feared, from such evidences as have been obtained ... was of that class of uneasy men who are proverbially typified by the 'rolling stone.' Thus ... the baptisms (and doubtless births) of their eight children occured at five different places, and there is proof that he resided at different periods of his married life in several others. This fact has made the search into his family history exceedingly tedious and perplexing...."

"It has been impossible to discover positively what finally became of him and his wife. His Will, which was very meagre, was dated 8 December 1628, at Barrow, a village little more than a mile from Goxhill, the seat of his ancestor; but it was not proved until the 15 May 1633, and then at Alford, some forty miles distant, and more in the neighborhood of his wife's family. Judging from his previous history, he might, between those two dates, have changed his residence at least two or three times. There is, however, as will be seen, reason to suppose he died at or near Alford, where his son William was evidentally residing. The fact that his Will was proved at Alford alone, sufficiently justifies the assumption that he died in the immediate neighbourhood." (Wentworth Genealogy, "English Genealogy," pp. 60-62).

11345. Catharine MARBURY 1 was born estimated 1565 in Of Grisby, Lincoln, England. She died after 15 May 1633 in Prob., Lincs., England. [Parents]

11346. Edward CARTER 1.Edward was married before 1590 in Perhaps, Lincs., Eng.

"of Well, a small village two miles southwest from Alford, who was probably a small farmer." (Wentworth Gen., pp. 63-4).

[Child]


11616. Edward SOUTHWORTH was born in 1590 in London, England. He died in 1621. He married 1 Alice CARPENTER on 28 May 1613 in Leyden, Holland. [Parents]

"Edward, a merchant and business agent for the Leyden Pilgrims, died in 1621" (Famous Americans)

"...a highly respected member of the Leiden group." (Plymouth Colony - Its History & People 1620-1691, Stratton, p. 25).

"As yet the old archives have given us very little information in regard to Edward Southworth. He was a silk worker in Leyden, one of the Pilgrim exiles who formed Rev. John Robinson's church. He is recorded as from England, without mention of town or city." (Southworth book chapter 1)

Residences: London, England; Leyden, Holland; Plymouth, Mass. about 1621.

"The Southworth family [of Leyden, Holland and Plymouth, Mass.] was apparently of gentle birth, but claims that Edward Southworth [of Plymouth, Mass.] was identical with the Edward Southworth, son of Thomas and Rosamond (Lister) Southworth, of Samlesbury Hall, Lancashire, are not adequately supported" [Stratton, Eugene Aubrey. Plymouth Colony : its history & people 1620-1691. (Salt Lake City, Utah : Ancestry Publishing, c1986), p. 355-356].

11617. Alice CARPENTER 1 was born in 1590 in Wrinton, Wells, Somersetshire, England. She died on 26 Mar 1670 in Plymouth, Mass.. [Parents]

"...a woman of great worth and ability, came over in the third vessel to Plymouth colony in 1623 to become the second wife of Governor William Bradford, whom she had formerly known." (Famous Americans)

A biography and her will is found at Pilgrimhall.org

"... she married Edward Southworth at Leiden (MD 10:1). After the death of Southworth, she sailed to Plymouth on the Anne in 1623, and shortly after arrival married Gov. William Bradford as his second wife. She had four sisters associated with Plymouth Colony .... All the sisters eventually came to Plymouth except Agnes, who ... died before [her husband] sailed on the 1620 Mayflower. Alice's two sons by her first marriage, Constant and Thomas Southworth, came to Plymouth after her. ...." (Plymouth Colony - Its History & People 1620-1691, Stratton, p.258).

"And now to say somewhat of the great cheer we had at the Governor's marriage. We had about twelve pasty venison, besides others, pieces of roasted venison and other such good cheer in such quantity that I could wish you some of our share. For here we have the best grapes that you ever [saw] - and the biggest, and divers sorts of plums and nuts which our business will not suffer us to look for." (Letter from Emmanuel Altham, Captain of the Little James, written Sep 1623, as quoted in Plymouth Colony - Its History & People 1620-1691, Stratton, p.25).

11618. William COLLIER 1 died 2 before 5 Jul 1671. He married 3 Jane CLARK on 16 May 1611 in St. Olave, Southwark, England.

Residences: England; Duxbury, Mass. From files of Steve & Dale Robbins.

"One of the few Adventurers to come to live in New England, he was praised by Nathaniel Morton (New Englands Memoriall, p. 91): 'This year [1633] likewise Mr. William Collier arrived with his Family in New-England, who as he had been a good Benefactor to the Colony of New-Plimouth before he came over, having been and Adventurer unto it at its beginning; so also he approved himself a very useful Instrument in that Jurisdiction after he arrived, being frequently Chosen, and for divers years serving God and the Country in the place of Magistracy, and lived a godly and holy life untill old Age.' He was often elected an Assistant between 1634/35 and 1665, and he appeared to side with the more conservative leaders, such as in the 1645 fight with Vassall. James Cudworth wrote that 'Mr. Collier last June would not sit on the Bench, if I sate there' (Bishop, p. 176). He was on the Council for War, and he served at times as commissioner of the United Colonies. He resided in Duxbury, and in 1649/50 he deeded ten acres of land in Duxbury to 'my kinsman William Clark' (PCR 12:182).

"Collier married Jane Clark at St. Olave, Southwark, 16 May 1611, and he and his wife had four daughters with them in Plymouth Colony .... and Elizabeth who married Constant Southworth. Robert S. Wakefield, 'More on the Children of William Collier,' TAG 49:215 and 51:58, identified eight other children in England (all of whom had died young there), and he showed that Collier had lived in St. Mary Magdalen Parish, Bermondsey, Surrey, and St. Olave Parish, Southwark. In the St. Olave register he was called a grocer. Bradford referred to a 'brew-house of Mr. Colliers in London' (Ford 2:125). On 7 June 1653 Mrs. Jane Collier made a claim on behalf of her grandchild, the wife of Nathaniel Warren (MD 3:141). The grandchild was Sarah (Walker) Warren, who was baptized at St. Olave, Southwark, 10 November 1622, the daughter of William Walker (TAG 51:92). On 2 December 1661 William Collier of Duxbury, gentleman, with the consent of Mrs. Jane Collier, sold all his house and land that he was living on in Duxbury to Benjamin Bartlett, who was not to enter into possession until the death of both William and Jane Collier. Collier died before 5 July 1671, when men were appointed to administer his estate (PCR 5:68). An excellent documented narrative of various aspects of his life is given in Moore Families, p. 196-205. (See also John Cole, above, and the Hunt article shown under Job Cole, above)." (From Biographical Sketches, in: Plymouth Colony - Its History and People 1620-1691 by ES Stratton, p. 268).

"Let ALDEN's all their Father imitate, And follow him till they come to death's state: And he will them most heartily embrace, When he shall meet them in that blessed place. "

Residences: England; Plymouth, Mass. 1620; Duxbury, Mass.

11623. Priscilla MULLINS [image] was born 1 in 1602 in England. She died 2 in 1687. She was buried 3 in Old Graveyard of the First Church, South Duxbury, Massachusetts. [Parents]

~"Believed to have been born about 1602 in Dorking, Surrey, England, Priscilla Mullins (or Mollins, or Molines) came to America aboard the Mayflower with her parents and younger brother in 1620. The other three members of the family died during the terrible first winter of the Plymouth Colony. Probably in 1623 she married John Alden, a cooper. They lived in Plymouth until about 1631, when they and others founded the settlement of Duxbury. They had 11 children. John Alden became a prominent figure in colonial Massachusetts, but virtually nothing is known of Priscilla's later life. The date of her death is unknown, but it may well have occurred before her husband's in 1687. Priscilla Alden alone, among the women of the Plymouth Colony, is remembered by name, owing to a legend transmitted orally in the family and then published in embellished form by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow in "The Courtship of Miles Standish" in 1858. The tale of the triumph of romatic love is nearly unique in the lore of the Pilgrims and is probably not founded in fact; nonetheless, the story--especially Priscilla's alleged words "Why don't you speak for yourself, John?"--remains a part of American folklore."
