67 - ROBERT FFYSKE - Born about 1521, a wheelwright of Fressingfield, and St James', South Elmham. Married Mrs Sibilla Barbor (nee Gold), a widow. Sibilla was in great danger in the time of the religious persecution 1553-58, as was her sister Isabella Phillips, who was confined in Norwich Castle for her religion and escaped death only by the power of her brothers Paul and Peter Gold, who were men of some influence in the country. (It would appear theat the residents of the area around Laxfield were particularly vociferous in their support for the Protestant reformation; in an account by Robert's great-grandson Rev. John ffiske, his grandparents and great-grandparents are described as "eminently zealous in the true religion".) Robert fled for religion's sake in the days of Queen Mary, but was once more residing at St James in 1567-8 and later at the time of his death. His first wife having died, he married secondly to Joan ?, who was herself buried at St. James, South Elmham on 3 August, 1587. His will is dated April 10, 1590, it was proved in July 1602.

Subject: Kenelm Winslow (201) on the latest Farr Pedigree chart
Date: Tue, 22 Apr 2003 11:52:45 -0700
Hi Tim, My daughter, Claudia Keyworth and son, Randall Smith and I have researched the pedigree of the Winslow family for some time. Among other documents we have in our possession photocopies of a number of Winslow family wills. We obtained a partial translation of the wills from Mrs Sue cammpbell an approved researcher for the Worcestor County Record office in Worcestor, England. We obtained a complete translation for Kenelm Winslow's will as well as other Winslow documents as translated and prepared by Vona Williams on April 14, 2003 at the Salt Lake City Genealogical Society.
The Farr pedigree chart lists Elizabeth Foliott as Kenelms Wife; however, Kenelms will states in part quote I will and appoint the custody thereof ( my funeral discharged and my debts paid ) to Katherine my very loving wife whom I constitute and appoint to be my sole exectrix of my present will''
Other sources includingThe book Mayflower Hertiage written wnd compiled by, Kenelm Winslow published by George Harrop & Co LTD in 1957 and the local Mr Bob Cross local historian for Kempsey and Srevern Stoke England names Katherine ( possibly maiden name of Katherine Buck) as Kenelm's wife.
We plan to have copies of the original as well as the translation of Kenelm and Richard Winslow wills. According to D Kenelm Winslow, Richard Winslow who lived and died during the reign og King Henry the eighth was Kenelm's grandfather The very interesting inventory of Kenelm's estate was written on sheepskin parhment Our report will also include some medieval manorial estate court records (documenting Kenelm (Wynseiow)as as a freeholder of land as well as Keneim's service as a juryman for the medieval court of Lord Thomas Coventry's Croome Hill Estate. We plan to prepare a written report about our research and compilation of these Wnslow records to be available at the Winslow Farr Sr. family reunion in August.

THE EARLY WINSLOWS IN AMERICA
by Nedra Watkins Reese
December 1981
Edward and Magdalen Winslow of Droitwich, England, became the parents of eight children, five sons and three daughters: Edward born 19 October 1722 John, April of 1595; Elynor, April of 1598; Kenelin 29 April 1599; Gilbert, October of 1600; Elizabeth, March of 1601; Magdalen 26 December 1604 and Josiah, February of 1605. (1.)
The Winslow surname is taken from the town of Winslow in Buckinghamshire, England. The original family seat was in Worchestershire. (2.)
All five of the Winslow brothers came early to America. Edward, an ancestor of Winslow Farr, and Gilbert came on the Mayflower in 1620: John came on the Fortune in 1621. Both Kenelin and Josiah came before 1655.
A brief unconfirmed family history of Lorin Farr describes Edward as a well to do Englishman, who traveled abroad after finishing his education. In Holland, he met and fell in love with a young Pilgrim girl. They were married, and he aided the little band of Pilgrims who were leaving for the New World. He gave money to help purchase the Mayflower, and he and his bride sailed on it to America. She died on the ship after arriving at Plymouth, as did many others. He later married a widow who had also been a passenger on the Mayflower.
John was married at New Plymouth to Mary Chilton, daughter of James Chilton, another passenger on the Mayflower, at some time prior to 1627. According to family tradition, Mary was the first female to set foot on the American shores. This may refer either to the landing at Cape Cod where the women went ashore to wash their clothes, or to the landing at Plymouth. John resided in the north part of Plymouth called Plain Dealing until about 1656. He was a merchant and held various municipal offices at Plymouth . (2. )

Appendix II The HEGIRA OF EDWARD7 Winslow
The will of Thomas Harton, dated 14 Sept. 1620 and proved 19 Dec. following (see note h above) indudes under the heading "Desperate Debts," the following:
"Edward Windslowe some time under sheriff of co. Worcester, owes money for which I can get no payment as he has fled to Ireland. Sir Henry Foilett has my bonds for same. John Wilson also fled to Ireland. Win. Woodward alias Blauckett fled to Pembrokeshire. Mr. John Richardson of Castle Morton, dwelling in London."
Possibly the indebtedness of Winslow derived from his having helped Simon Clarke and Charles Stamford, for Chancery Proceedings of 24 Oct. 1611 show this answer to a bill of complaint of Richard Moore, gent.:
"Answer (only) of Edward Winslow: Subject Winslow was surety on a bond.
Simon Clarke and Charles Stamford were principals" (Banks MSS, Rare Book
Room, Library of Congress, red bound series, fo. 749).
It so happens that Sir John Bucke of Kempsey, who brought Keres. well from Kenelm0 Winslow, was in the commission of the peace for Worcestershire. Bucke s wife, Eleanor, was sister to the aforesaid Henry Folliott, kt., the latter having by 1615 gone to Ireland, where in 1619 he was created Lord Folliott of Ballyshannon, Sligo, in the peerage of Ireland. See "The Ligon Family in England" (1947), p.101, and Calendar of State Papers, Ireland, 1615-1625, p. 10, 11. Also see reference cited in note j, above, as well as Worcestershire Quarter Sessions Rolls, Worcs. Hist. Soc.
It is suggested that Harton knew that Edward Winslow bad either a kinship or acquaintance with the Buckes, and consequently approached Sir John Bucke for help in collecting the money that Winslow owed; if so, Bucke probably advised Harton to turn his evidence of the debt over to Sir Henry Folliott, Bucke s brother-in-law, who was then in Ireland.
In that era, the high-sheriff of a county normally would select a kinsman or acquaintance to become under-sheriff. In 1620 the high-sheriff of Worcestershire was Sir Edmond Wylde of Kempsey9 whose paternal granddame was Eleanor Wall of Droitwich, sister to the mother of the Sir John Bucke who bought Kereswell from Kenelm Winslow. Bucke s father, Francis, in his will, showed his affection for his wife s cousins Thomas Wylde of Kempsey (father of Sir Edmond), and Thomas brother, George Wylde of Droitwich (see will of Francis Bucke of Kempsey, Worcs., gent., dated 1580, proved 1581 at Worcester; will of Sir Edmond Wylde, proved in 1620 [P.C.C. Soame, 1094]; will of his father, Thomas Wylde of K.empsey, Worcs., proved 1599 (P.C.G. 69 Kidd]; "Visitation of Worcestershire, 1569," Harleian Society Publication, vol. 27, p. 26, 27, 151 in the latter page Kemsey in Bedfordshire is wrongly stated for Kempsey, Worcs., which the wills correctly indicate as home of the Wyldes. Also see "Visitation of Worcestershire, 1634," Harleian Society Publication, vol. 90, p. 79. Plainly Wylde seems to have been led by Sir John Bucke, his close kinsman, to choose Edward7 Winslow as under-sheriff. The inference again is that Winslow was either cousin or close friend to Bucke.
The inhumane treatment meted out to debtors in English prisons of those days was frightful enough to persuade those who could not pay to flee the country. But by 1621 we are told that Edward7 Winslow was in England, living at Clifton, a tiny hamlet in Severnstoke. See note a above.

BIRTH: By about 1578 based on estimated date of marriage.
DEATH: Plymouth 24 May 1647 (from inventory). (Savage and Pope both give this date as 24 March, apparently based on the abstract of the inventory published in 1850 [NEHGR 4:282]. On the original the month of death is in the upper right corner of the page, and is worn, so that only "Ma" can now be read on microfilm. Bowman saw this as May, and his reading is followed here.)
MARRIAGE: By 1603 Margaret _____; she died at Plymouth between 8 July 1665 (date of will) and 6 March 1665/6 (probate of will).

COMMENTS: The major breakthrough on this family was made when Robert S. Wakefield discovered additional baptismal entries in the St. Mary Magdalen, Bermondsey, register [TAG 51:57-58].
Several sources give Robert Hicks two wives: Elizabeth Morgan and Margaret Winslow. No record has been found of any marriage for Robert Hicks, and his only known wife was Margaret; the argument that Margaret was a Winslow has little basis [TAG 54:31-34].
Clement Briggs of Weymouth, fellmonger, deposed 29 August 1638 that about two and twenty years since this deponent then dwelling with one Mr. Samuell Lathame in Barmundsey Streete in Southwarke a fellmonger and one Thomas Harlow then also dwelling with Mr. Rob[er]te Heeks in the same street a fellmonger the said Harlow and this deponent had often conference together how many pelts each of their master pulled a week. And this deponent deposeth and saith that the said Rob[er]te Heeks did pull three hundred pelts a week and diverse times six or seven hundred & more a week in the killing seasons, which was the most part of the year (except the time of Lent) for the space of three or four years. And that the said Rob[er]te Heeks sold his sheep's pelts at that time for 40s. a hundred to Mr. Arnold Allard, whereas this deponent's Mr. Samuell Lathame sold his pelts for 50s. per hundred to the same man at the same time and Mr. Heeks pelts were much better ware [PCR 12:35].
On 13 July 1639 Robert Hicks of Plymouth, "citizen & leatherseller of London," by a bill dated 6 July 1618 was indebted to Thomas Heath, citizen & cooper of London for 180, which amount was demanded by letter of attorney made by Hannah Cugley but Hicks showed an acquittance of all debts to Heath, having paid it long ago [PCR 12:43].
On 6 March 1649[/50] administration of the estate of Ephraim Hickes was granted to Margaret Hicks and Thomas Willet [PCR 2:148]. The nuncupative will made by Ephraim to Mr. Thomas Southworth was set aside, Ephraim being "not in a capacity in regard of his said manner of death to make a legal will" [PCR 3:202]. The court ordered that Ephraim's estate be set aside for the benefit of his mother, "Mistris Margaret Hickes," but the order was not recorded and Margaret had to go back to court many years later to insist it be recorded, 3 December 1660 [PCR 3:203].
BIBLIOGRAPHIC NOTE: In 1938 Louis Effingham deForest compiled a comprehensive summary of all that was known about Robert Hicks at that date [Moore Anc 295-308]. (This summary includes children Elizabeth and Daniel, for whom there is no evidence.)
