Edward Winslow c. 1569-1634

I may, from time to time, complain that my writings have not caught traction and interested fellow genealogical researchers to collaborate.  That is not the case with my friend Jesse Tarbet.  Far smarter than I (Ph.D. in History) he is a fellow Winslow descendant and interested in the ancestry of the five Winslow brothers who came to Massachusetts; Edward and Gilbert were on the Mayflower; John, Kenelm, and Josiah came later.  Kenelm is my ancestor.

Their common father was Edward Winslow.  Jesse has written a superb article on the life of Edward Winslow. It is a must read for all  Winslow descendants.  The main thrust of the article is proof that Edward was not a saltmaker as has been thought, but rather an attorney working at the Court of Common Pleas.

His dates are deduced by me as being 21 when he made his first record in 1590 (although he may have been older) and death in 1634 as stated in Tarbet's article.

Someday we'll figure out the parents of Edward Winslow and see if the Winslows were indeed lesser gentry.

The True Abiah Russell Learned

So I found the right Abiah Learned finally.  I would never have found her but for the insight of a third cousin who saw an ad I had placed.  You see he descended from Abiah's second marriage, and I from the first.  Finding out the rest of her story was wonderful.  It also led me to her first husband's civil war pension application and painted a deeper picture of both of them.   She born in Maine and he born in New Hampshire were married in Massachusetts.  That marriage record appears in the print vital records of Newton and the state vital records which shows Abiah's parents as Amos and Mary.  I would never have looked in Massachusetts for a marriage record for two people born in Maine and New Hampshire who never live in Massachusetts.

So I gave up all the Plymouth county and Mayflower ancestry and got what?  Well, half of Abiah's ancestry is unknown since her mother Polly/Mary Daniels is not connected to anyone.  The other half of her ancestry, that of Amos Learned is half Irish and half Great Migration pioneers to Middlesex County, Massachusetts.  I will say that an inordinate amount of that ancestry has known  English origins.  William Learned, Isaac Stearns, Henry Rice, Henry Loker, John Whitney, Shadrach Hapgood and Nathaniel Treadway all have known English origins, some with several generations of English ancestry.

But solving Abiah's parentage only led me to another brick wall.  Who was her mother's parents?

William Wentworth of Dover, N.H.

There is new scholarship on William Wentworth, worth reading:

The  English Ancestry of William Wentworth of New Hampshire: Male Line Ancestry for Five Generations by Terry J. Booth, Paul C. Reed, and Nathaniel Lane Taylor, The American Genealogist 90 (2018): 161-74, 263-79. 

Edmund Greenleaf of Ipswich, England and Newbury and Boston, Mass.

There's been new scholarship on the ancestry of Edmund Greenleaf.  His origins remain the same but he has lost what were known to be his parents.  His parents are now unknown.  His wife's ancestry, however, remains the same, going back two generations in England.

See: Corrections, Deletions, and Additions to the Origin of the Greenleaf Family in England by Patricia Law Hatcher, The American Genealogist 90 (2018):254-60.

This is suprising since it redefines the Pillsbury Ancestry of Mary Lovering Holman, normally a really good source.

 

The Hooker Siblings

There was a time when between the New England Historical & Genealogical Register and The American Genealogist, every other year or every third year there would be an article on my ancestors.  That's not been happening lately.  In fact, I think it's been close to six years since an article appeared on my ancestors.  Well, today was the day.

In the July 2016 issue of The American Genealogist is an article that has the now found baptisms of Mary and John Hooker, children of the Rev. Thomas Hooker.  Mary is my direct ancestor (as is her sister Sarah).

Peter Worden ca. 1576-1639 of Yarmouth, Massachusetts

This is another royal line.  The line has not been published in an article yet, but appears in Gary Boyd Roberts's Royal Descents of 600 Immigrants.  It's a fun line since it goes back to a Scottish king not an English king.  And who can't love the name William the Lion.

1. Richard Worden born say 1534 and died about 1580.  He married about 1569, Isabel Worthington, daughter of Peter and Isabel (Anderton) Worthington.  They were the parents of:

4. Mercy Worden born about 1641 at Barnstable, Massachusetts, died 22 September 1688 at Harwich, Massachusetts.  She married 23 September 1667 Kenelm Winslow (Jr.), born about 1636 at Plymouth, Massachusetts and died 11 November 1715 at Harwich, son of Kenelm and Ellen (Newton) Winslow.  Mercy and Kenelm had seven children: Kenelm, Josiah, Thomas, Samuel, Mercy, Nathaniel, and Edward.
