Rev. Daniel Greenleaf

Rev. Daniel Greenleaf graduated at Harvard College in 1699, and for about six years practiced medicine in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where he married Elizabeth, the daughter of Samuel and Mary Gooking. About the year 1706 he commenced preaching, and in 1708 was ordained pastor of the Congregational Church in Yarmouth, Massachusetts, succeeding the Rev. John Cotton (Rev. John Cotton was brother of Rev. Roland, of Sandwich, and son of the Rev. John of Plymouth, who was son of Rev. John of Boston, who had been the minister in Boston, England, and came over in 1633) as minister, where he remained nearly twenty years. Some difficulties arising, he resigned his charge in 1727, and removed to Boston. His wife had taken her family of twelve children long before to Boston, an interesting account of which appears in a letter from his great-grandchild, Mrs. Elizabeth L. Sewall, wife of General Sewall, of Augusta, Maine, written 12 April 1847, to Hon. Simon Greenleaf, of Harvard College, Cambridge, which is as follows :-

"My mother has often told me his wife, with 12 children, went to Boston, where, having some knowledge of medicine, from her father's being a physician, she opened an apothecary and grocer's shop, and thus supported her family and educated her eldest son at college. Mr. Greenleaf remained for a time with a remnant of his charge that was strongly attached to him, but finally. I believe, the majority quarreled him away. I well recalled hearing my mother often say that at this juncture they brought an accusation against him 'that he talked of worldly matters on the Sabbath'; the worldly matters were that in the Course of one Sabbath he received a letter from his wife, saying their eldest son appeared at the point of death with small-pox, and that unless he came on immediately he would not probably find him living. The good pastor was too poor to own a horse, and after the second service requested the loan of one from one of his deacons, that he might set off soon after midnight for Boston. He found the boy living, and he lived to be upwards of ninety (90) years old. I well recollect, when a child, hearing this case narrated by my mother, and thinking her grandfather must have been a very good man. He afterwards removed to Boston, and joined his family, many of whom married very young. My grandmother married a gentleman just established in the mercantile line, and he afterwards became very prosperous and very benevolent. She was but fifteen when she became mistress of a family.

The good man (whose portrait awaits your acceptance- the portrait referred to in the letter above quoted descended to Rev. Patrick Henry Greenleaf, D.D., son of the Hon. Simon Greenleaf, and was by him presented to Mary Elizabeth, wife of his son, James Edward Greenleaf and is now in her possession at the family home in Charlestown, Massachusetts) was in the habit of going around once a week to see all his married children who were settled in Boston, and not very remote from his own mansion. On one of these occasions when coming out of the last house he fell, and so injured his back that he never rose from his bed after being put into it, but was confined two years, only being moved by his sons and sons-in-law from one bed to another on a sheet. This duty was performed when they assembled in the evening, after the business of the day was over. I have often heard my mother say how many pleasant hours she passed in her grandfather's sick chamber; he was always so cheerful and so instructive, it was a privilege to be near him; and she would likewise mention he read the Scriptures, and his devotional exercises in the family. At this time his wife had become totally blind, therefore the care and expenses of the family devolved on the children."

In the proceedings of the Massachusetts Historical Society, as reported in Vol. X., appears the following:-

List of principal manuscripts belonging to the Society, 'Commendium Physical,' by Charles Morton, of which there are four copies (manuscript) transcribed respectively by John Webb in 1677, Daniel Greenleaf, 1697.

By the Records of Massachusetts Bay, Vol. VIII. p. 124, it appears that on Friday, June 8, 1705, the Legislature passed an order allowing Rev. Daniel Greenleaf £6 for support to the present year, "and as the greater part of the Isles of Shoals belonged to the Province of New Hampshire, they were expected to supply the balance of his salary as minister, £14, to be paid from the public treasury." The allowance of £6 to be paid probably by the people of the Isle of Shoals, he being settled there as minister.

In the same records, Vol. XIII, we find he petitions to get his salary paid from October, 1723 to October, 1726, at the rate of £80 silver money 15 pennyweight. or £120 in Province Bills. Before the Legislature, Monday, 21 Aug. 1727.

The Shop was in what is now Washington Street, between Court and Cornhill, Boston, very near the old bookstore of Crocker & Brewster, which was near the corner of Court and Washington, where now stands the Ames Building. Here Mr. Greenleaf resided until his death, which took place suddenly on 26 Aug. 1763, at the age of eighty-three years. He was buried near the stone chapel on Tremont Street.

His wife Mary died subsequent to 29 April 1707, and 28 Sept. 1708, he was remarried to Mrs. Hannah Biscoe, widow of Thomas Biscoe. He died 16 Sept. 1730.252

Elizabeth Gookin198,6,6 was born on 11 November 1681 in Cambridge, Middlesex County, Massachusetts.5,6,66,253 She died in November 1762.5,66

Elizabeth Gooking, wife of Rev. Daniel Greenleaf, came from distinguished stock in New England, an extended notice of which will be interesting to her descendants and others.

As has frequently occurred with modern surnames, the name Gooking appears to have undergone a number of transformation. In Harris' History of the County of Kent, London, 1729, the following various spellings appeal indexed as Gooking; viz., Cockayne, Cockoyn, Cokain, Cokin, Calkin, Gockin, Gokin, Gookin, and Gooking. Capt. John Smith, who evidently knew General Gooking's father, calls him Gockin and Gookin. General Gooking's great grandfather spelled it Gokin. Burke, Burke's Commoners, writes it Gookin to this day, while General Gooking's descendants write it Gooking, and General Gooking wrote it Gookin. It would seem that the name tallied originally with the coat of arms or device of the family, and coat armor is quite certain.

By the family record in the College of Heralds in the British Museum, being as far back as Arnoldus, great-great-grandfather of General Gooking, it is well settled that the family came originally, as far as known; from the city of Canterbury. They were proprietors of Worthgate in that city. William Gooking lived there in King John's reign (1199-1206). He founded a hospital there, and was a prominent benefactor to other hospitals.

A William Gooking was ballivi (chief magistrate) of Canterbury in 1250 and in 1267, and Edmundus Gooking was also in 1358. On removing from Canterbury they built the country seat of Fredville, or Froidville, in the tenth year of King Edward III. Camden, in Britannia, London, 1695, mentions Ashburn, in Derbyshire, as a town where the Gookings have long flourished.

Arnoldus, the great-great-grandfather of General Gooking, was of Kent County, England, and the heraldic genealogies give neither the name of his wife nor of any of their children but Thomas, the eldest son and heir.

Thomas Gooking was of Brakesbourne, Kent County, England, and married Elizabeth, only child and heiress of Durant. Salisbury's Charts, large quarto Volumes, say: "Thomas Goolkyn (or Goolken), Co. Kent, d. 1599, m. Amy Durant, 1st w." I have been unable to get information of any of their children but the eldest son and heir, John.

John Gooking was of Ripple Court, Kent County, England. He married Katharine Denne, daughter of G. and Agnes (Tufton) Denne, his wife. G. Denne was of the eleventh generation from Sir Allured Denne, Kt., Seneschal of the Priory of Christ Church. Sir Allured was son of William Denne, of East Kent, who was living in the time of King John. William Denne was son of Ralph de Denne, 20th from William the Conqueror, Lord of Buckhurst, Sussex, Kent, and Normandy, in the time of Edward the Confessor (V. Berry's "Kent Genealogies").

Agnes Tufton was daughter of Nicholas Tufton, and she died in 1588 at Brakesbourne, where John Gooking lived at that time. The children of John and Katharine Gooking were four; viz., Anna, John, Daniel, and Vincent, and of the first two I have been able to learn nothing but their names. The two younger sons (the younger of whom became Sir Vincent Gooking) married in England and emigrated to Carygoline, Ireland, from whence Daniel with his family returned to England, and in 1621 emigrated to Virginia, where he arrived 22 November (V. Capt. John Smith's General Historie) (Lord i. "Lempriere,'' 145). He brought with him, at his own expense, fifty men, with many or all of whom he had made a contract to provide for them. (Capt. John Smith calls them "his own men.") He settled at Newport News, Virginia, and I have been unable to learn of any of his family save his son, Daniel, who subsequently became General Gooking.252

The 13 known children of Daniel5 Greenleaf and Elizabeth Gookin were as follows:

She had 16 children.254

175. Sarah5 Greenleaf (Stephen4, Stephen3, Edmund2, John1)178,178,178 was born on 19 July 1688 in Newbury, Essex County, Massachusetts.170,178 She and Richard Kent were married on 30 January 1709 in Newbury, Essex County, Massachusetts.261

The only known child of Sarah5 Greenleaf and Richard Kent was:

176. Stephen5 Greenleaf (Stephen4, Stephen3, Edmund2, John1)168,170,168,168 was born on 21 October 1690 in Newbury, Essex County, Massachusetts.170,168 He and Mary MacKres were married on 7 October 1712 in Newbury, Essex County, Massachusetts.262 He died in 1771.5

He was also known as Stephen Greenleafe.168

Stephen Greenleaf was born in Newbury, Massachusetts, and resided there until after his marriage and the birth of four sons; viz., Enoch, Richard, Samuel, and Ebenezer. The records of the town of York, Maine (incorporated 1639), give the following "Stephen Greenleaf, his children, born in York, of his wife Mary. Lydia, born 3 May 1722; Stephen, born 27 Feb. 1724-25; Joseph, born 2 July 1727; Mary, born 17 Feb. 1730-31."

It has been supposed that Stephen removed to Woolwich from Newbury about the year 1720, but it now appears he had intermediate residence between Newbury and Woolwich. In 1720 but slight beginnings had been made in the settlement of the district; the Indian War soon began and drove out, it is said, every one who had entered. It would appear that he removed first to York, Maine, from Massachusetts, probably about 1720-21, then farther east to Falmouth, about 1731, as by the records there we find: -

"Stephen Greenleaf, Mariner, York," bought lot and house in present Portland in 1731. "Stephen Greenleaf, Pound Keeper," Back Cove, Falmouth, 26 March 1734. "Stephen Greenleaf, of Falmouth, and Mary, wife, sells title in Mill Stream and Mills in Falmouth," in 1736. Stephen Greenleaf had conveyance of his land in June, 1738, in Woolwich. "Stephen Greenleaf paid for killing a Wildcat," 1 May 1743. Richard Greenleaf, his son, sells part of the same, "improved and possessed twenty-nine years last past," in 1767. It also appears upon the records that "Stephen Greenleaf, York, Coaster," et al., bought a right In land in Monsweag Bay, in 1729, including the tract in which he afterwards lived. Land conveyances being accepted, under conditions, as evidence of residence, it would appear that 1738 was the time of his taking up his residence in Monsweag (Woolwich).263

Mary MacKres was born in 1691. She died in 1771 in Woolwich, (Maine).
