A useful link for genealogy: A Guide to Interviewing Elderly Relatives
Tracing the migration of the Daynes family has not been easy nor conclusive. The following is an educated guess as to what may have happened nearly 400 years ago when the first Winthrop Fleet sailed to The New World, and at best, speculation as to what happened in North America with the Daynes family 30 years preceding the "Great Migration" . It must be understood that this "New World" had been previously explored by the French, English, Spanish, and Dutch and Swedish, who all laid claims (which overlapped). The landing at Plymouth, and the story of William Bradford and the Pilgrims, is the story that most Americans know about the immigration of Englishmen to the New World and the colonization of North America. The English had been exploring the resources of "The New World" earlier than The Mayflower and the following Winthrop Fleet.
Aboard the Concord, in 1602, Capt. Bartholemew Gosnold discovered Cape Cod and Martha's Vineyard, which he named after his infant daughter, and Elizabeth Island, named after Queen Elizabeth. Captains Anthony Gosnold and his son, Bartholemew Gosnold were cousins, by marriage, to John Daynes, husband of Alice Ryvette, whose mother was Christian (Gosnold) Ryvette, aunt to Capt. Anthony Gosnold, and great aunt to Anthony's son, Bartholemew Gosnold. See the Genealogy of Bartholemew Gosnold at gosnold descendants. The Gosnolds were instrumental in the founding of Jamestown, and their family estate Ottley Hall in England, is still maintained. In 1607, thirteen years before The Mayflower landed, he founded Jamestown colony in Virginia, the first permanent English settlement in America. The Jamestown Society actively seeks descendants from these original settlers.
Plymouth was only one port where passengers disembarked, and besides the 1620 sailing of The Mayflower, in 1630, during the Great Migration, ten other ships set sail for North America in the Winthrop Fleet: The flagship, The Arbella, The Ambrose, The Talbot, The Jewel, The Charles, The William and Francis, The Hopewell, The Whale, The Success, and The Trial. The first 5 ships sailed from Yarmouth, Isle of Wright, arrived at Salem June13, and the others set sail in May and arrived in July. Altogether, they brought 700 passengers: amongst them the Thomas and Susan French family (Thomas Jr., Alice, Dorcas, Susan, Anne, John, and Mary) and the William and Agnes Pynchon family (John [who was a witness to Winthrop's deeds for land at the Sturbridge Lead Mine], Anne, Mary, Margaret) and of course, the Winthrops (Henry, John, Stephen, Samuel). For a link to Winthrop Fleet of Ships and Passengers see:http://www.winthropsociety.org/document.htm. These early immigrants slowly branched out into the mainland of the New England Coast, but certainly, the entire coastline of New England held many disembarkation points for the 700 persons who sailed with Winthrop in his eleven ships. John Winthrop left England because he had been denied his office when the Parliament was dissolved by King Charles, who then made a series of changes in law and religion, which ultimately, coupled with economic hardship and disease, caused many people to leave England for Holland (as many cloth workers did) and the New World. The colonies were business ventures and were expected to provide the crown with income derived from agriculture, mining, fishing, trapping, and land acquisitions. During the years of 1630-1641, it is estimated that twenty thousand colonists crossed the Atlantic in 300 ships (Andrews 34). Many went back, but a great majority settled in Boston, Charlestown, Dorchester, Cambridge, and Watertown, and by the 1640's twenty-two settlements were established (Andrews,35). In 1633, John Oldham set out to explore the main east-west Indian Trail leading to the Connecticut River Valley. Early on expansion and exploration was a goal. The colonists perceived themselves as Englishmen first and took much of their way of life and custom to the new world (Breen 66). This does not imply that there was no cultural change and diversity of the social institutions. Their allegiance to their king was required and they were expected to provide income for the English crown and the Companies which financed their exploration and colonization efforts. The acts of the ruling monarchs and the bishops of England, and the instability of the cloth trade made migration a necessary option for some (Breen70-71).
The Bay Path, Chapter 10 "At The Blacklead Mine", sheds some light on the business relationships between what I believe are collateral lineages to my ancestor, Abraham Daynes. As early as 1644, William Paine & Thomas Clark, merchants of Boston, William Deins, foreman, his son John Deins surveyor, Edward Pynchon, and John Winthrop were in a partnership to mine graphite. See: The Bay Path . My theory is that the operation was made possible by Thomas Rood's or Thomas Deane's land acquisitions and legal transactions, and the shipmasters (I suspect Leffingwell, Nichols, and Gosnold) of the time who would navigate the shoreline, bays, and rivers in their quest for wealth for England. A Captain Richard Nicholls, with a fleet of four ships sailed in 1664, took New Amsterdam at Manhattan Island, then called "Manhattoes" (Goodwin, 80).
Did Captain Richard Nichols have a brother Thomas Nichols [of, Robert Nicholl, of John Nicholl b. 1520 d.1570], whose daughters Ellen Nichols [b. 1616 Eng. d. 1668 Branford New Haven CT] , married William Luddington and Jane Nicholl who married Matthew Moulthrop? If so, that would mean Richard Nichols was uncle to Elizabeth Luddington and Jane Moulthorp. Was Abraham Daynes aboard one of those four ships that took Manhattan? Is this how he arrived at Casco ME (then called MA)? According to Savage's Dictionary of Settlers Before 1692, Abraham Daynes arrived at New London from Casco in 1664. Was he one of the English inhabitants of Manhattan when it was taken from Peter Stuyvesant? For a map of Casco Bay see:http://www.cascobay.com/history/southack.htm.
I have made an attempt not only to trace the genealogies of the families below, but also their occupations, religions, and geographical location set against an historical background of fact. Our 1st known direct ancestor, Abraham Daynes of New London is known to be in the colonies 30 years after the Winthrop Fleet of eleven ships brought the immigrants of the "Great Migration", which began in 1630. What is not known is how he came to arrive there. I believe that those who sailed with Winthrop and his fleet were perhaps the cousins of my first ancestor, and amongst their families may be a lineal descendant of Abraham Daynes. This leads to the assumption that the father of Abraham Daynes, presumed to be John Daynes, came to North America under the headright system, whereupon 50 acres would be granted to anyone who could get six relatives to settle in North America and he is allied with one of the original explorers, planters, adventurers, settlers, or laborers. At present, I presume the connection to be with Captains Anthony and Bartholemew Gosnold (their cousin Alice Ryvette married John Daynes and had three children when Alice's mother, Christian (Gosnold) Ryvette died. Her will is probated 2 April 1589.See the following link for an article by J. Henry Lea Esq. at will of christian ryvette See the Genealogy of Bartholemew Gosnold written by Warner F. Gookin at gosnold ancestry See the following link john and alice (ryvette) daynes family tree As early as 1602, The Gosnolds were exploring the North American continent. Did Rachel Daynes, daughter of John and Alice (Ryvette) Daynes come to New England with a Thomas Dane, carpenter, in 1632? This carpenter Thomas Dane/Dean, son of James Dean and Elizabeth Fuller, married Elizabeth Fuller and had eight children: see below. A widow, Rachel Deane came to North America from London in 1635, aboard The Planter, m. 28 Oct. 1636, Joseph Beedle, or Biddle, who, in his will, provides for her daughter Martha who probably came with her mother. (Savage, Vol. 2).We may never know the answer to any of those questions, but then there would be nothing left to search for..
THE UNKNOWN DAYNES : MAINE AND CONNECTICUT
We are not sure why the Daynes ancestors left England. Family oral tradition is that our UNKNOWN DAYNES ancestor, may have been a deserter from the compulsory military service of the Danish king, and possibly was Abraham Daynes' father. Further, it has been difficult to find the father and mother of the 1st Daynes in the colonies (Abraham Daynes b. abt. 1640 m. Sarah Peake b. abt 1651). Many books have been written documenting their descendants, but Abraham's parentage has never been established. We do know that Abraham Daynes was born about 1640, perhaps in Yarmouth, Devonshire, England, and possibly in Yarmouth, New England but, Abraham Daynes arrived at Casco, Maine (now Portland) in 1663, [presumed aged 23]. According to Volume 2 of Savage's Dictionary of Settlers Before 1692, Abraham Daynes arrived at New London from Casco in 1664.
He married Sarah Peake on December 27, 1671. Abraham would be aged 31, and Sarah Peake would have been 20. Savage's Dictionary of Settlers Before1692 lists Sarah Peake as daughter of William Peake and Elizabeth. William Peake owned land at the Fog Plain and he and William Chappel (whose wife was Christian) were involved in various land holdings in New London in the 1650's. Having survived William Chappel, the widow, Christian Chapell married Edward Stallion (whose land bounded Abraham Daynes'). William Peake and his wife Elizabeth had other children about whom we learn from Caulkin's History of New London : Sarah Peake's brother John Peake (died 2 October 1699) married Elizabeth and had children John Peake b.1690, Samuel Peake b.1693, William Peake b.1695, and Ruth Peake b.1699. Sarah Peake's brother William Peake married Abigail Comstock on June 24, 1679. Abigail Comstock was the granddaughter of William and Elizabeth Daniels Comstock through son John Comstock and his wife Abigail Chappell, daughter of George and Christian Chappell, widow of John Comstock Abigail Chappell Comstock married Moses Huntley. See the following website for information on William Comstock, his son John Comstock, and William and Elizabeth Daniel Comstock's granddaughter, Abigail Comstock, who married Sarah Peake's brother, William Peake.http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~katy/comstk/b293.html This is an important link to a relationship between George Chappel's daughter, Rachel Chappell, who married Thomas Crocker, and the son of Thomas Crocker and Sarah Vibber, who, it is presumed, is connected to the Zebulon Deans family of PA. A Sarah Vibber was a witness at the trials of the Salem witches in the hysteria of 1692, as is a Johanna Dane-likely the daughter of Abraham Daynes. According to New London Vital Records, Abraham Daynes, of New London, purchased land from Thomas Crocker, of New London, and later sold it to Robert Lovelands of New London, who sold it to Thomas Parkes of Stonington. See the following hyperlink regarding the land transactions of Abraham Daynes and Thomas Crocker. http://www.rootsweb.com/~ctnewlon/deeds/PrestonDeeds2.html
Abraham and Sarah (Peake) Daynes' children were: 1)Johanna m. Daniel Palmeter, Stonington, New London, CT; (believed to be relation of Deacon John and Annis Alcock Chandler Dane Paramenter see: Paramenter Family Association ), 2)John m. Mary Overton and second wife, Abigail Paine at Southold, Long Island, NY (believed to be the descendant of Col. Elisha Paine through his son Peter Paine); The fact that Abraham's first two children are Johanna and John, leads me to surmise that Abraham Daynes' father was John Daynes or some variant thereof, and further, that the father of Abraham Daynes, presumed to be John Daynes who married Rachel Ryvette {Rachel's Ryvette's mother was Christian Gosnold who married James Ryvette}; 3)Thomas m. Hannah Davis, New London, CT 4)Ebenezer m. Mercy Luddington (webmaster's ancestors)Canterbury, Windham, CT; 5)Sarah (named after ma/paternal mother/grandmother possibly); 6)Ephraim m. Sarah Passmouth, Norwich, New London, CT. Abraham Daynes died before 1690, and his widow married Micah Rood (s. of Thomas and Sarah Leffingwell Rood) on January 15, 1691 and had 3 children: Mary,(b. May 22, 1693) Micah (b. April 29, 1696), and Joseph (b. Dec. 14, 1698). Micah Rood was the brother of Sarah Rood, who had an incestuous relationship with her father, which resulted in the birth of George Rood, who was sent to live with his uncle Lt. Thomas Leffingwell. Lt. Thomas Leffingwell was an original settler of Norwich, which was later known as New London. See: Descendants of Thomas Roode of New London Lt. Thomas Leffingwell married Sarah White. Lt. Thomas Leffingwell's sister, Sarah Leffingwell married Thomas Rood- who, with his daughter, Sarah Rood, are the progenitors of George Rood. George Rood married Hannah Bush and their daughter, Elizabeth Rood married Abraham and Sarah Peake Daynes' grandson, James Dean Daynes.Sarah Peake Daynes, widow of Abraham Daynes of New London, married as her second husband Micah Rood son of Thomas and Sarah Leffingwell Rood- who may be her cousin, by marriage, through Rachel Leffingwell's (daughter of Thomas and Sarah White Leffingwell) marriage to William Parke. Thus, Sarah Peake Daynes Rood married her cousin, as did her grandchildren, and I would suspect, her children. It was common to marry one's cousin, or to marry a relative's widow/er, and further, men married several times. It was also not uncommon for the stepchildren of two families to marry each other. Keeping this in mind the four current possibilities are 1) Abraham could have married his cousin Sarah (Peake), and their common ancestor would have been Sarah's aunt or uncle Peake, or Abraham's aunt or uncle Daynes OR 2) Abraham Daynes married his brother's or cousin's widow, Sarah Peake, OR 3) Abraham Daynes and his brother/cousin married 2 Peake sisters/cousins or 4) Abraham Daynes married his stepsister, Sarah Peake. IF YOU HAVE A POSSIBILITY, I'D LIKE TO HEAR IT.. Balanced with the cautious assertion that many people married more than once, it becomes essential to study the ancestry of the spouses of Daynes ancestors as well.
THE ROOD/LEFFINGWELL CONNECTION: NORWICH, CONNECTICUT
John Rose was brother in law to Thomas Rood, attorney at Norwich.
In the FTM History of Conn. Gen. an Ann Rudd, of London, leaves L 5 to widow Francis Bowyer and to younger Thomas Rudd L100 from the L400 bequeathed to the elder Thomas Rudd and cousin Wilson also from which was to come L100 for her burial expenses. She left her daughter Margaret nothing, since Margaret owed her L100. (English Origins of New Eng. Settlers. Series 1 Vol. 3 pg. 40) William Pynchon quit claims land to Mathew Rudde in 1613 for L 100 (English Origins of New Eng. Settlers. Series 1 Vol. 3 pg. 40). Thomas Rood (b.1626; son of Thomas Rood/Rudde and Elizabeth Greene) was an attorney and a resident of Norwich, CT. Thomas and his lawful wife Sarah Leffingwell Rood had 9 children, one named Micah Rood (b. Feb. 1653), who married on January 15,1691 Sarah Daynes, widow of Abraham Daynes. Micah and Sarah Peake Daynes Rood had at least 3 children: Mary Rood, (b. May 22, 1693) Micah Rood (b. April 29, 1696), and Joseph Rood (b. Dec. 14, 1698). http://books.google.com/books?id=QPULAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA47&dq=Roode+Micah Attorney Thomas Rood was on excellent terms with the Indians and his early land acquisitions were from Sachem Squanto. Thomas Rood, attorney at Norwich married Sarah Leffingwell, sister of Lt. Thomas Leffingwell whose wife was Mary White. Lt. Thomas Leffingwell was an original settler of Norwich, parts of which were later within the bounds of New London. Lt. Thomas Leffingwell married Sarah White and had nine children. Lt. Thomas Leffingwell's sister, Sarah Leffingwell married Thomas Rood, the progenitor of George Rood. See Savage's Dictionary of English Settlers before 1692 Vol. 3: http://delanoye.org/primary/savagevol3.txt. search Rood, Thomas. See alos: The Descendants of Thomas Roode of New London . Thomas Rood, father of Micah Rood (Abraham Daynes' widow's second husband), was executed October 18, 1672 in Norwich, CT, and has the dubious distinction of being the only person executed in North America for incest. His daughter Sarah was publicly whipped. She was sent to live with her uncle Bushnell. The progeny of this union, George Rood, was sent to live with his uncle Lt. Thomas Leffingwell. George Rood could only by the nephew of Lt. Thomas Leffingwell through Lt. Leffingwell's sister, Sarah Leffingwell, the lawful wife of attorney Thomas Rood, who died in 1668, before her husband was executed. George Rood, nephew of Lt. Thomas Leffingwell, married Hannah Bush, and were the progenitors of Elizabeth Rood, wife of James Dean Daynes, grandson to ABRAHAM and SARAH PEAKE DAYNES. When Sarah Peake Daynes married Micah Rood, Sarah Peake Daynes Rood would have had all seven of Abraham's children under the age of 21: Johanna Daynes (aged 20), John Daynes (age 17), Thomas Daynes (age 14) and 4 of those children would be under the age of 12: Ebenezer Daynes (age 11), Sarah Daynes (age 8), Ephraim Daynes (age 5). None of the children of Abraham and Sarah Peake Daynes were married prior to the death of Abraham Daynes, but Johanna married Daniel Palmeter [son of Joseph Palmeter and Mary Marsh] on April 30, 1696. Sarah Peake Daynes Rood's children by her marriage to Abraham Daynes were all married by 1708- seventeen years after their mother's marriage to Micah Rood. The children born to Sarah Peake Daynes and Micah Rood (Mary, Micah, and Joseph Rood) would be half brothers and half sister to the children of Abraham and Sarah Peake Daynes. Sarah Peake Daynes, widow of Abraham Daynes of New London, married as her second husband Micah Rood, son of Thomas and Sarah Leffingwell Rood, who if they were first cousins it must be through a parent- since their parents would have been siblings. If they were second cousins, their common ancestor would be a grandparent. Mary Greene b. 7/18/1701 marries Ebenezer Rood (son of George Rood and Hannah Bush) b. 9/21/1704 d. 12/20/1785. A Tradition of Micah Rood can be found at http://www.rootsweb.com/~ctnewlon/MicahRood.htm.
THE FRENCH/RIDDLESDALE/PEAKE CONNECTION: MANHATTAN
Of the French girls, Dorcas French married Christopher Peake ( b.1605, England d. May 22, 1666 in Roxbury son of Boniface Peake and Joanne Clarke) and had Sarah Peake (b. Jan. 9, 1656) who married on December 27, 1671 Abraham Daynes. See the following link for Boniface Peake descendency http://awt.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=tracyverba&id=I1372 He would have been 31 and she 15, just shy of her 16th birthday. It is interesting to note that The French girls, Dorcas and Susan were servants to Elder and Junior Winthrop, (Jr.'s home in 1644 was on Fisher's Island close to Manhattan, and the 1st English residence in Pequot country (Caulkins, Frances, History of New England.) Dorcas French married Christopher Peake, the same day that her service contract expired (1636). Dorcas and Susan's parents were Susan Riddlesdale and Thomas French. See: ThomasFrenchandSusannaRiddlesdaleFamily tree.htm and http://members.aol.com/randsherm/family/riddlesdale3.html A Thomas Dynes, yeoman, married Dorcas Riddlesdale, in England on October 11,1610. They had no children. A John Dynes b. bef. 1619 married Rachel and had son, John Dynes, who married Elizabeth Head/Heald. If this is Thomas Dynes' brother, he may be the father of Abraham Daynes who married Sarah Peake, but this is purely speculative. John Dynes and Elizabeth Head/Heald had a son named Samuel (b. bef. Feb. 7, 1682) who married Amy Tomson. It has appeared on some websites that an Elizabeth Tomson was the wife of William Peake. Could Elisabeth Heald be related to Sgt. John Heald from Cheshire, who married Sarah Francis Dean daughter of Thomas Dane of Concord?
THOMAS DANE OF CONCORD
Thomas Dane of Concord was born in 1603 Cranbrook, Kent, England (son of James Dean b. 1580 of Cranbrook, Kent, England and Elizabeth Fuller) died Concord, Middlesex, MA. Immigrated May 9, 1635 on ship Elizabeth & Ann. Occupation: Carpenter. Thomas Dane of Concord andThomas Dane of Concord He married Elizabeth Fuller 8 children:[ 1.Deborah Dean; 2. Daniel Dean; 3.Hannah Dean; 4.Elizabeth Dean b. 10/25/1648 died 4/20/1649 m. Peter Carleton; 5.Joseph Dean b. 1638; died March 1717/18 aged 80; married Elizabeth Fuller (1662) She was the daughter of Thomas Fuller ; 6.Sarah Francis Dean, who married (10 June 1661) Sgt. John Heald Jr. ; 7.Mary Dean; Mary Dean (again); and Hannah Dean]. Thomas Dane's son, Joseph Dane owned land, given to him by his father Thomas Dane, which now is a museum in Concord: The Jonathan Ball House: 3 Centuries of the Jonathan Ball House See the following hyperlink for family information regarding Thomas Dane and the Healds http://www.cyberancestors.com/cummins/g852.htmlis A Thomas Dane is found at the following hyperlink http://www.genealogy-quest.com/collections/kidd.html as an acomplise of Joseph Bradish, pirate, sent to England in 1700 along with Robert Mason.10 September 1696, A James Howe, appears as a "confederate" of the notorious pirate Captain Kidd. See the following hyperlink: http://www.genealogy-quest.com/collections/kidd.html Could The Healds of Cheshire, as some of the descendants of Sarah Francis Dean Heald of are known, be descended from a child of John Howe who married Mary Parmenter? John Howe of Sudbury had a brother Abraham Howe of Watertown and Marlborough sons of William Howe See the following homepage http://www.healdfamily.org Perhaps William Howe was a cousin of one of the following HOWES: Daniel Howe of Lynn 1631 & Long Island 1640; Edward Howe of Watertown 1634; Edward Howe of Lynn 1636; brothers: James Howe Sr. of Roxbury 1637 and Abraham Howe of Roxbury 1638; Samuel Howe of Concord 1642 (most likely I believe, given the proximity); or Daniel Howe of Boston 1651 who immigrated aboard The John and Sarah, embarked at London1 Nov 1651, one of the prisoners transported after surviving the Battle of Worcester 3 Sept 1650. The battle was fought between the adherents to King Charles I, known as Royalists or Cavaliers and consisting of the nobility, gentry, and clergy, and the Parlimentarians or Roundheads, consisting of the townsmen and yeoman (Robotti, 23). The Ironsides were the mounted forces of Oliver Cromwell, who, in 1653, was declared Lord Protector of the British Commonwealth (Robotti, 25). Oliver Cromwell died in 1660, his son, Richard Cromwell abdicated, and Charles II ascended to the English throne in the restoration of the Stuarts (Robotti, 26). Daniel Howe, apparently a Royalist, was transported as a prisoner of war in the same ship as the Munroe brothers: (also apparently, Royalists, and on the losing side, transported to the colonies as prisoners of war) William Munroe, Robert Munroe, Hugh Munroe and John Munroe. Daniel Howe was transported in the same ship as the Munroe brothers: William, Robert, Hugh and John. See the following link to the Munroe family History: William Munroe of Lexington William Munroe's son, David Munroe married Deborah Howe (daughter of Samuel and Mary (Nutting) Howe. Their daughters, Deborah and Mary married Abraham Daynes' grandsons: Ebenezer Dains and Benejah Dains respectively, whose parents were alos my ancestors Ebenezer and Mercy Luddington Daynes. Another interesting similarity between them seems to be Annis, (widow of William Chandler I and John Dane) who married a third husband, as his second wife, the Rev. John Paramenter [Mary Paramenter married John Woods and are the progenitors of Hannah Woods, who married John Leavens and had Hannah Leavens (b. Oct.17,1666, Roxbury, MA d. Oct. 16, 1756 and married Johnathon Peake ( b. Oct. 10, 1663, Roxbury, MA; d. Sep. 20, 1744, Woodstock, CT) and son of Johnathon Peake and Sarah French. Settled at Woodstock, CT in 1687; freeman there 1690; constable 1696; member of various committees. Married 1687 Marlborough, MA]. William Chandler was a nephew of George Abbott.
THE LUDDINGTON FAMILY TIES: NEW HAVEN,CONNECTICUT
John Rose was brother in law to Thomas Rood, attorney at Norwich
William Luddington I was born about 1607 and married first, Ellen Nicholl (daughter of Thomas Nicholl and Dorothy George born 1614 Eng. d.1668 CT.) and second, Ellen Moulthrop. (Ellen Nicholls' sister, Jane Nichol [b. 1610] married Matthew Moulthrop). Jasper Crane of East Haven sold his land to Matthew Moulthorp. Jasper Crane housed one of the sons of Elizabeth Alcock Whitehead, whose sons, John and Thomas Whitehead, were sent to the New World at the request of their uncle, George Alcock. Jasper Crane had an interest in the East Haven Iron Works.http://books.google.com/books?id=yFWgyV_3YikC&pg=RA1PA79&dq=Daniels+Luddington&hl=en&ei=tI4hTLalDNeQnwegyOFq&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=9&ved=0CE0Q6AEwCA#v=onepage&q=Daniels%20Luddington&f=false William Luddington emigrated about 1636, and settled in East Haven. He was a weaver and worked at the East Haven Iron Works in CT. After William's death in 1661, his widow Ellen Nicholl Luddington married, in 1663, John Rose. John Rose was brother in law to Thomas Rood, attorney at Norwich. William Luddington II married Martha Rose, the daughter of John Rose, and second, Mercy Luddington. John Rose is connected to Thomas Parke, son of Robert Parke. Thomas Parkes son, Robert Parke, born 1651 married 24 Nov 1681, Rachel Leffingwell, oldest daughter of Mary and Lt. Thomas Leffingwell. Robert Parke married second, Mary Rose, daughter of Thomas Rose of Norwich NEED TO STATE HOW............ See Iron Works details.... Thomas Dane of Concord has an Anne Nichols married into his family. See: Savage's Disctionary of Settlers Vol.3: http://www.usgennet.org/usa/topic/newengland/savage/ William I and Ellen Nichols Luddington had 7 children, among them William Luddington II born about 1655. William Luddington II married 1) Martha Rose (his stepfather's daughter) and 2) Mercy Whitehead. Mercy Whitehead's parents were John Whitehead and Martha Bradfield. Mercy Whitehead's grandparents were John Whitehead and Elizabeth Alcock, who was sister to Deacon George Alcock, upon whose direction Mercy Whitehead's father, John Whitehead and his brother, Thomas Whitehead, were bought to the New World. Therefore, Mercy Whitehead was the great niece of Deacon George Alcock, whose sisters were Elizabeth Alcock Whitehead and Annis Alcock Chandler Dane Parmenter. Mercy Whitehead married William Luddington II, son of William Luddington and Ellen Nichol. William II and Mercy Whitehead Luddington were the parents of Mercy Luddington (b. 31 May 1691 and died 23 Nov 1743, aged 75.) who married the webmaster's ancestor, Ebenezer Daynes, son of ABRAHAM and SARAH PEAKE DAYNES. Mercy Luddington Dains sold the portion of her inheritance from her father.

Sybil Luddington, the female Paul Revere, rode through the night to warn her uncles (amongst them Ebenezer Daynes) of the British regular army attack.
WILLIAM PAINE: IPSWICH, MASSACHUSSETTS
William Paine was born in 1598 and died in 1660 in Ipswich, MA. William embarked April 1635 on the Increase listed as William Payne, 37, husbandman; Ann Payne, aged 40; Susan Payne aged 11; William Payne aged 10; Anna Payne aged 5; John Payne aged 3; and Daniel Payne, 8 weeks. His will names his children, of course, but interestingly, his sister Hammond; kinswoman Elizabeth-daughter of Samuel Howes; daughters of his cousin John Tall; William Howard; Jeremiah Belcher; Andrew Stoddard; and an Indian servant 40 shillings yearly; to Ipswich Free School-land at Jeffrey's Neck and to Cambridge College-20 pounds. I believe that this family is intermarried with the Sir Knight John Doane family.Could this William be William Paine of Clark and Paine of Boston in the business venture with John Winthrop Jr. at the Sturbridge Black Lead Mine? Did this William have a son/grandson/nephew Peter, whose daughter Abigail married Abraham's son, John? Abraham Daynes' son, John Daynes b. 2/1674 d. 5/14/1751 married, as second wife Abigail Paine [b. 1678 New London, CT (daughter of Peter Paine) and had children: Peter and Abraham who were born at Southold, Long Island. Abigail Paine is listed on the Southold LI Census 1692 as a widow with a John Daines, an Abigail Pain Jr., Mary Pain and Sarah Pain. See the following hyperlinkhttp://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~riss/ny/southold/. See the following hyperlink for information regarding the descendants of Nelson Danes, 6th generation descendant of Abraham Daynes of New London (thorough son John, grandson Peter, greatgrandson John, GGGson Peter, to Nelson) : Nelson, John, Augustus Dane .A William Paine had a son John Paine b. 1649 New Haven, CT d. 1729 in New Haven, CT, whose daughter Hannah Paine b. Nov. 10,1708 d. Sept. 17, 1739 in New Haven, married Daniel Luddington on Dec. 28 1726 [Families of Ancient New Haven Vol. 6 pg. 1380], and the Luddington name is recurrent in my ancestor Abraham Daynes' family tree. Whether the aforementioned William and Peter and Abigail Pain(e) Payne are related is still a mystery, but I firmly believe that a link between the various families lies here somewhere in marriage of business partnerships. It has been presumed by some that the son of John Daynes named Abraham, died about 1702, but the Paine genealogy and the Solomon Treat records state, that he was married on 10 December 1722 to Jemima Case.
THE DEINS/DEANE/DENNIE CONNECTION: BOSTON AND TAUNTON
The first Deins here was a William Deins, foreman to the Clark & Paine Company of Boston, MA. He worked as a foreman at the Sturbridge Black Lead (Graphite) mine in 1657-1659. This was a business venture between John Winthrop, Jr. and Thomas Clark & William Paine of Boston, to mine the black lead, plumbago, or graphite, as it was known. A document deeds the Black lead hill at the Tantiusques and 10 miles radius to John Winthrop Jr. It is signed by William Deanes June, 27, 1683. This was the second deed created for this property- the first deed lists William as BOTH Dennie and Deins. I believe this man's father to be William Deane d. 1634 m. Johanna Wallsele [children: Joane, Eleanor, William, and Walter b.1612 d. abt.1693 m. Eleanor Strong] and the progenitor of the Taunton and Roxbury Deanes, brothers John and Walter. Walter Deanes' grandfather, I believe is Richard Deane, who was the Lord Mayor of London in 1628. [General Richard Deane, 1610-1653, Parlimentarian, and signatory of the Death Warrant of Charles I, was the son of Edward Deane. General at sea Richard Deane was at the Battle of Worcester in 1650. General at sea Richard Deane's uncle or great uncle, Sir Richard Deane, was Lord Mayor of London from 1628-1629] Copy and paste the following hyperlink into your search bar for info about Richard Deane, General at Sea http://books.google.com/books?id=hSwJAAAAIAAJ&pg=PA254&dq=Richard+Deane#PPA255,M1 His coat of arms was: Ar. on a chev. gu.betw. three birds sa. as many crosses couped or.
William Deanes/Deins', son, John Deane was granted permission to soujourn with Sgt. Ralph Day to endeavor, in 1699, the full settlement of the Natick lines. He was a surveyor. John Deane of Taunton (married Alice-who was left his share of the Iron Works) was of Taunton, and had sons John Deane/Dean, of Dedham b. 1639: said to be the first white child born in Taunton [married Sarah and had 7 children: John b. 4/25/1677, Sarah b. 12/13/1678, Ebenezer b. 5/17/1681, Joseph b. 3/14/1683: clothier and married Mary Faxon {six children: Mary, Thomas, Joseph, Sarah, Elizabeth, and Faxon}, Jeremiah b. 3/24/1685, Elizabeth b. 10/13/1689 and Abigail b. 6/12/1694], Thomas Deane, Israel Deane, Isacke Deane, Nathaniel Deane, and 1 daughter, Elizabeth Deane, and deceased son, Joseph Deane. The Taunton John Deane's inventory was conducted bybrother, Walter Dean, and James Wyatt, and William Harvey. Walter Deane and James Wyatt also inventoried the estate of John Gilbert, Sr. in 1657. In a recent trip to Athens County, Ohio I found many of the name Wyatt buried in the same cemeteries as the Deans. See the link to the William Deins Family Tree WILLIAM DEINS FAMILY TREE. A James Dean wrote a history of Taunton which names the aforementioned people and recounts their land transactions, military and public service. See the following link for a description of the settlement of Tauntonhttp://www.usigs.org/library/books/ma/Bristol1883/b728tauntonocred.txt This family is well documented in public service. Both John and Walter held offices and owned the largest tracts of land in Taunton. Walter was a tanner by trade and married Eleanor Strong and had sons Joseph, Ezra and Benjamin, and daughter Mary. Walter also married as his second wife, Eleanor Cogan.

THE DANE/HOWE CONNECTION: ROXBURY AND SALEM
It is interesting to note that a John Dane Sr., (son of William Dane,) b. 1587 d. Sept. 14, 1658 was of Roxbury, MA married several times to 1) Elizabeth UNKNOWN; 2) Francis Bowyer (presumed to be the widow to whom Ann Rudd leaves L 5) ; and 3) Annis Alcock Chandler (who married 3rd husband, as his second wife, Deacon John Paramenter, the progenitor of the Hannah Leavens who married Johnathon Peake, and had a Sarah Peake who married John Morse). Annis' first husband, William Chandler was a nephew of Deacon George Abbott. Annis Alcock Chandler Dane Parmenter was the niece of Deacon George Alcock.
John Dane Sr. (sailed with Rev. Nathaniel Rogers: Robert Crane CONNECTION HERE) and his widow Elizabeth's three children:
1John Jr. Dane was born in Colchester, England in 1613, and married 1)Eleanor Clark, 2) Alice Dutch. John Jr. died September 29, 1684, aged 71 years. He is the author of the Remarkable Providences. He was a surgeon and had 7 children: [Mary Clark Dane m. William Chandler II (son of Grandfather's 2nd wife); John m. Abigail Warner (7 children); Philemon (physician) m. 1)Mary Thompson (2 children) and 2) Ruth Converse (3children); Elizabeth m.1) Reginald Foster Jr. and 2) Stephen Johnson [at least 1 child]; Sarah m. Daniel Warner, ensign [child Mercy Warner m. cousin Israel Howe]; Rebecca m. James Hovey (killed at Brookfield August 2, 1675) 1 child Daniel; Dane m. b.d. unknown.
2Frances Dane (Rev.) married 1) Elizabeth Ingalls and had 10 children; 2) Mary Thomas (d. Feb.18, 1689) and 3) Hannah, widow of George Abbot (lived through June, 1711).Frances had 11 children: [Nathaniel m. Deliverance (2 children: Nathaniel and Frances); Elizabeth Ingalls Dane m. Stephen Johnson; Albert (died young); Frances (died young) Frances again m. Hannah Poor ( 4 children: Francis, John m. Sarah Chandler, Joseph, and Daniel m. Mary Parish]; Hannah m. William Goodhue; Phebe m. Joseph Robinson; Abigail m. Francis Faulkner; Francis; and Daniel m. Elizabeth Granger (mother Martha Poor, father John Granger) 5 children: [Elizabeth m.1) Peter Carleton and 2) Johnathon Poor; Nathaniel, Daniel, Mary, and Hannah]. The Rev. Frances Dane was an outspoken critic of the Salem witch trials and spoke vehemently to save his children and grandchildren from Gallows Hill. His efforts were not always successful, but sometimes he did pay the fines incurred by the Court. See the links to the Salem Witch Trial Transcripts.
3Elizabeth Dane married James Howe, who married 2) Bridget Rich. Edward and Elizabeth (Marvill) Howe, immigrant ancestors aboard the Truelove, were the progenitors of Debora Howe, who married David Munroe and had daughter Mary Howe, who married Benejah Dains, grandson to my ancestor Abraham Daynes m. Sarah Peake. Mary's sister, Debora Howe married Benejah Dains' brother, Ebenezer Dains,grandson to my ancestor, Abraham Daynes m. Sarah Peake. It is not clear if James and Edward were cousins, but I would suspect so. John Dane of Ipswich was a neighbor of Deacon George Alcock, who was uncle of John Whitehead and Thomas Whitehead. According to the following site, the Josselyn family is associated with this Dane branch http://www.newerindustries.com/Jim/genealogy/Briggs/Dane-Richard.htm
THE DOANE FAMILY CONNECTIONS: BARNSTABLE
KNIGHT SIR JOHN DOANE http://www.doanefamilyassociation.org/JWBaker2012.pdf He came to the colonies with the initial 5 ships of the Winthrop Fleet which sailed to Plymouth and the Massachusetts Bay Colony in the spring of 1629. He was in business with John Atwood of London who represented James Sherley. He moved to Eastham on Cape Cod around 1645. His descendants are called the Cheshire Doanes. I think that if there is a connection between the families here, it is between Anne Doane and William Twining and William's parentage to an Elizabeth Deane/Denne/ Deins-I believe, daughter of William Deins of the Graphite Mine or granddaughter/greatgrandaughter of Sir William Daines b. England 1600. Sir William Daines had a daughter Anne who married John Shute. http://www.doanefamilyassociation.org/JWBaker2012.pdf
Sir John Doane b. 1590 Manchester, East Essex, Eng., d. Feb. 21 1685, Eastham, Barnstable, MA. Known to have arrived in 1629 from Leyden, Holland, where many English fled to escape the religious persecution of England. Married twice1) Lydia, ch=
Lydia Doane m. Samuel Hicks;
Abigail ch= Abigale Doane m. Samuel Lathrop, son of Hannah Howe(s) and Rev. John Lathrop, whose second wife was Anna Hammond
John Doane m. Hannah Bangs in 1662 and Rebecca Pettee in 1694
Daniel Doane m. Hepzibah Cole and Constance Snow
Ephraim Doane m. Mary Smalley and Mercy Knowles; 2nd wife Anne Perkins ch= Anne Doane, Timothy Doane, Martha Doane.
I do not believe that this lineage is related to Abraham Daynes, but the similarity in names necessitated looking into. The fact that family oral tradition places the father of Abraham Daynes in Denmark, warrants the inclusion of this person. See links to Family Lore. Jacquelyn Sorby has a great site for this family See it at: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~dlsorby/
STRANGE, but true. SO, WHO IS WHO? I DON'T KNOW FOR SURE, DO YOU? MY PERSONAL THEORY: I THINK THEY WERE ALL COUSINS THEIR FATHERS WERE BROTHERS: JOHN, WALTER, JAMES AND WILLIAM. IF THEIR CHILDREN MARRIED FIRST COUSINS, AND WITH SEVERAL MARRIAGES DURING THEIR LIVES, ONE POSSIBLE RESULT IS THAT STEPFAMILIES INTERMARRIED AS WELL. Of course this is purely speculation and conjecture.
One thing is certain-many of our ancestors had half sisters and half brothers. I think they were clothiers, blacksmiths, miners, tavern/inn keepers, sailors, preachers, soldiers, sailors, miners, fishermen, farmers, and cordwainders, who did not just settle down and stay, but branched out into the frontier, with which their cousins, friends and neighbors would be familiar, because I think they were in business together. John Winthrop, William Pynchon, Thomas Clark, William Paine, and William Deins/Deane, I am certain, sailed frequently up the New England Coast, exploring the interior of the continent by sailing up the rivers and extracting the resources. Whether or not these people are related to my ancestor, remains a mystery, but I think that a possible reason that Abraham Daynes' family was not massacred by the Indians on the frontier is because they were familiar with them through the Leffingwells and Roods (via deeds) and they posed little threat to the Indians because they allowed the Indians to traverse and utilize their land unharmed, in the early colonial period. Somehow, my branch of the family tree has connections with the water: boating, fishing, etc... In my personal connections with cousins, I find often that other branches of Abraham's family tree also have an affinity to the water.
