Shrewsbury MA Sarah (NOyes) Maynard b 1735 Sudbury MA Sarah's ancestry confuses most sources. Her name categorically was NOT Polly Ames (my mother's records). Her father was not a Maynard. She was the widow of Samuel Maynard, and born Noyes. For further confusion, she is descended from one of two contemporaneous Joseph Noyes' of Sudbury, MA. Peter Noyes, who with Edmund Rice founded Sudbury, and who was rock stable and a second or third cousin of Nicholas and James Noyes, had a son Joseph. Rev. James Noyes had a son named Joseph, too, and he went to Sudbury. He is the great grandfather of Sarah. James' brother Nicholas was ancestor of Emily Green Balch. It superficially looked like Peter was not related to Nicholas and Peter even though they came on the same ship and called each other good friends. Actually, on a document back in England, they called each other cousins. The two villages in different counties they lived in were only about six miles apart. A common ancestor was brought by a high nobleman from another part of England to administer his estate, and Peter's line of prosperous yeomen still ran what remained of the estate. Nicholas and James' were of a family of clergy who held a seat in a village generation after generation; their father had married into a family of rather nutso Puritan fanatics, and the young men were radicalized during their education at Cambridge or Oxford (I can't keep straight which).

Came here from Essex Co, England in 1652 m 1660/6 Beverly MA Hannah Bishop b 4/12/1646 Beverly MA d 1738 (daughter of Edward Bishop b 1620, England d 1646 Salem MA m abt 1650 Chelmsford MA Hannah Moore b 12/29/1644 Salem MA d 1680 Salem MA) and (2) Ruth Hull of Beverly dau of Isaac Hull of Beverly Liutenant Commander of Beverly and Wenham troops, deputy to general court from Beverly in 1685-6. Hannah's stepmother, sister and brother in law were condemned in Salem in 1692 as witches - because of what strongly looks like a mood disorder propagated by noone in the family ever marrying anyone who did NOT have a mood disorder AND who was not physically abusive, rough edged, and hopefully mildly dishonest. Absolutely firm qualifications to marry into the Edward Bishop family, so, one has to ask, how did William Raymond qualify? From my other file: William Raymond came to MA from Essex Co, England in 1652; that may explain the notion that Richard, who is not on will of William's father with Wm's brother John who also came to MA, was their brother. The will of John's and William's father was found, dated 1651, proved 1651, which locates these two in Glastonbury, and is reason for thinking Richard was unrelated. William was much younger than his brother and came to this country much later. There was a Widow Raymond who may have been his mother; two much older Raymonds had been in Maine earlier w William's brother John; clearly neither was his father, may have been cousins or uncles. William received a small tract of land owned by Edward Bishop, who married (2) Bridgette who was exceuted as a witch in 1692, which bordered on land owned by Benjamin Balch. William was extremely active in military affairs and campaigns. Lt Commander under Comm Joseph Gardner Narragansett Campaign of King Philips War, 1675. Cat and Lt Com Salem and BEverly troops 11683. Rep, 1685, from Beverly, to General Court. In ill-fated Phipps Expedition to Canada of 1690. Age 53. Deputy to General Court from Beverly 1685, 1686. Confusion about what happened to his first wife, no record of her death, but people assume she did die, accounting for why he married again. His last child by Hannah was born in 1676. No record of anything happening to her. Hannah Bishop was sister of Edward Bishop, Jr, who w his wife owned a tavern on the road to Salem Town, and were accused and tried as witches and convicted, after their mother in law, on little testimony, one from Elizabeth Balch, one from the afflicted girls, and one from someone else. See my Salem witch page for Elizabeth Balch's testimony; she plainly did not want to face up to domestic trouble with her kinsmen-in-law next door. Thought that instead if Edward abused his wife and called her a witch, she was one. Edward had been raving vividly about how his wife entertained Satan in the kitchen at night, etc., etc. All true, in Elizabeth's mind. Hannah's parents weren't very savory or well respected; they wer once caught and punished for stealing foodstuffs and a knife, and lying about it. The whole family seem to have been not mentally healthy. They seem to have never married anyone who was stable, nor had anyone they married. The first wife of Bridgette's former husband was more seriously a crank than she was. Bridgette was repeatedly in trouble for swearing back at her husband and for hitting back when he beat her in public view! His first wife was always in trouble for picking arguments with everyone, especially with the authorities. She was outspoken to the degree of seeming to either be picking fights on purpose or to be not clear- headed. For instance, she was always grumping and proclaiming loudly about "women's rights". It is doubtful that she had any understanding of them; this was an uneducated, rough-edged, lower class family. It looks as though Bridgette married Edward Bishop partly for protection against a former charge of witchcraft made by her first husband's children by another wife after her husband died and she was made executor of his estate! The Raymonds and Balches never were in sympathy with the Puritan establish- ment, but that William Raymond would have married a Bishop suggests that something ailed him and his family and we just don't know about it yet.

When his brother Freeborn disappeared (he is thought to have returned to England, but noone knew what happened to him), he inherited another 1/4, after Freeborn was declared dead. When his brother John died and John's wife remarried, and their daughter died, the original court order having been to divide the estate between mother and child, Benjamin went to court and got the order changed so taht the eventually ended up with the property. But Mary and her new husband contested the notion that Mary wasn't entitled to any part of her dead husband's estate. This time Benjamin lost. He wouldn't admit defeat. He appealed three times, and lost three times. Eventually, he won. An author on this found Benjamin overly grasping. It gets better. John Balch father of Benjamin left certain resources including the right to an upper area in the family home to his second wife, Annis Patch, and responsibility for caring for her to BEnjamin. I guess the father expected the son would do this out of duty. When Annis died, she left a will for her little bit of property. Benjamin went to court, "somehow", in the words of everyone who has written about it, got he will declared illegal, presented a detailed bill for the "costs", wages due, etc., for caring for her, and produced neighbors, as witnesses that the costs he and his wife had born in caring for her far outweighed her assets, and ended up with her estate. The only "neighbors" he had in the BAss River area were the Raymonds, the Bishops, and the Conant family. It really seems as if all six or so ancestral families who lived at the head of the BAss River between Salem and Beverly spent half of their lives in court suing each other for this and that and testifying in each others' behalf. The only pattern to the lawsuits is the entire group of families behaved like this, and they were usually efforts to obtain property, assets, services, etc form one of the others. The neighbors would line up on either side as witnesses, and there was no consistency to who allied with who when or about what. The families who acted this way included Balch, Raymond, Bishop, and Conant. Sometimes it was a petty issue, like a broken fence. ONe gets the idea that these people were both excessively grasping with no apparent morals about how one should act, and hotheaded people who had a great deal of enjoyment out of continually suing each other and fighting it out in court. IT brings one back to what sort of person was William Raymond to have wanted to marry a daughter of Edward Bishop. William Raymond's testifying for Dr. Griggs, having been in his home one day, is another example; the Bass River people were hardly friends of Puritan fanatics like Griggs! What was Raymond doing in his home OR testifying for this head member of the witch conspiracy? While Elizabeth Balch testified against two members of the Bishop family, helping to get Bridgette executed and one of only three people who ever spoke against Sarah and Edward Jr. She testified that Bridgette Bishop had appeared as an apparition and tormented her son while he was ill with the fever that killed him. She had thought nothing of her son's delirious mumblings at the time, but now she thought about it... Most interesting, Elizabeth was born Woodburie and was closely related to Christian Woodbury Trask who tangled with Sarah, committed suicide with scizzors, which was blamed on witchcraft by Sarah. It is written about Benjamin Balch that he was religiously moderate because he allowed most of his children to attain adulthood and choose for themselves whether to be baptized or join the church, and because he didn't go along with the most severe excesses of the Puritan community. This is the view taken by the man's descendants; the Balch family evolved into a prosperous middle class, highly intelligent, and socially liberal in an always politically correct sort of way, family. It is true that John Balch and his son Benjamin after him were hardly the fanatical breed of Puritan that took control of and took over the colony not long after the original settlers who included John Balch, founded it. One piece of evidence cited to support this notion is that Benjamin and his best friend, another original settler, who also kept a lantern lit and a horse saddled to help people escape the witch trials, got into trouble for entertaining and putting up a stranger to the community in their house, which was against the rules of the Puritan villagers of medieval Salem. It looks as though the Balch's were individualistic and at their best no cowards. But it also looks very much like they had a cranky streak, and the disappearance of Benjamin's brother who seems to have taken off without saying a word to anyone under circumstances that caused people to think he had gone back to England, hints at both family trouble and instability. They showed such a streak back in England, too; a BAlch ancestor who was staunchly pro-Catholic refused to provide his required light horseman for the war with Spain tha England fought under Elizabeth I, and eventually his line of the Balch family was ruined when the Puritans triumphed and his lands and assets were seized, about when John, whose actual parentage is uncertain, came to Massachusetts. But John Balch, father of Benjamin, was "staunchly Puritan", a member of a religiously motivated enterprise run by Puritan merchants and clergy, some of them connected with the royal court, which came over before the Massachusetts bay Puritans who took over Salem from its founders, which failed, leaving about half a dozen people with their families, who then trekked overland to found Salem. But Puritan was a big movement that could mean more than one thing. John Balch was a sort of Puritan that wanted to clean up the Church of England, and a member of the Church of England. The Massachusetts Bay Puritans weren't overtly separatist, but in practical terms, they were separatists. They founded new churches run individually on the Congregationalist model, not Anglican churches, and they admitted to the inner membership of these churches and to Communion only those who could satisfy the governing board that they were among the Elect. The Salem Puritans were Congregationalists; they were Evangelical and children normally did not become church members. One had to "find Christ" and be born again, and convince the church elders that one had been born again. During one's teenage years one was expected to find Christ and be born again and be admitted to the church. Children like all members of the community had to attend meeting, but only a select few were full church members. The Puritans were staunchly Calvinistic, they believed in Predestination and that most people, even most Christians, were not among the favored few Elect who were destined from the beginning of time to be saved. About the time Benjamin Balch was deciding how to handle the baptism of his children, the Baptist controversy arose. The Baptists felt that since children couldn't commit themselves to Christ nor their spiritual status be known, they should not be baptized before they as teenagers or adults found Christ and committed themselves. Most Puritans took a rather ambivalent stance that required children to be baptized and even went so far as to claim the children of the saved inherited some spiritual advantage from their parents. Benjamin Balch was no nut, he to all appearances went along with the status quo on most things, participated actively in his church and in political affairs of his town and his colony. But he also clearly was a man who strongly thought for himself - and he may have far from having not pressured his children to be Puritans, to adopt Evangelical Christian beliefs, and to become members of the church, have put ALOT of pressure on them - but quietly refused to have them baptized before they were adults. I am not the first person to think that it is quite remarkable how ALL of his children found Christ at the same time and were baptized as a group all on the same day. If he had said anything out loud about how he felt on this subject, he would have been driven from the colony as a heretic; and quite possibly dragged back later and condemned as a witch, which happened to one individual.

Three younger childre, b in America, married and settled here. Parents and birth place unknown. Appears to have come from Kent. He inherited a sizable amount from a man in Horsemonden for whom he worked as a servant in 1614 (he would have been 21), married into the Willard family there in 1624, came to Massachusetts with teh Willards in 1634. He lived all over the place, the Willards were prone to wandering too; and both families were very close to the original head migratory bird, Edmund Rice. But though the Willards must have been similar to Edmund Rice in temperament as they had a similar seemingly hereditary penchant for land speculation, and a son or cousin from England was executed as a witch for bouts of serious mental illness of some sort in Salem in 1692, Dolar Davis's excuse for the incessant wandering was purportedly that he was a carpenter and a master builder, and his skills would be in demand for a short time when these new villages were first built. The Willards and Dolar Davis's and a couple of other families joined the Rice's on their cyclical migrations. A notion that Dolar's family were buried in a Bennefield, Northamptonshire, church yard, told to one of the writers of a New England genealogical dictionary, is disproven. Efforts to turn up is weird name all over England have proven fruitless. (Could it have been a nickname?) Maybe his father was a wandering speculator of one sort or another! His name is pronounced, "Dollar". Dolor lived in Cambridge until 1638-9, then Duxbury, granted land there 1640. Held several grants of land in Cambridge.

As CArl Flegal (a Raymond cousin) points out, that Joseph Noyes would have been too young to be the Joseph who married Mary Darville. Noyes Genealogy, Vol 2 (James' descendants) bears this out. (Noyes, Harriett, 1904.) Deacon Joseph Noyes (if not still confused with Thomas' son Joseph, Noyes carefully distinguishes him from Peter's son Josepn) was selectman in Sudbury for 28 years form 1662, constable, 1667 and 1668, justice of the peace 16679, many other offices. He was a man of considerable property, and owned a number of slaves. He was a staunch and spirited proponent of temperance; he thought alcohol had reduced the "savages" and "heathen" to their current state. Also knew Latin - or atleast pretended to.

One of four original settlers of Salem. He had been one of a party supposed to settle Cape Anne, a large commercial venture, but Puritan in spirit nonetheless, the people in charge of it were staunch Puritans, connected to Puritan clergy, who wanted to make a colony that would serve as a Puritan refuge. Howeer, they wee Puritan in the classical sense of wanting to purify the Anglican Church, as distinct from the separatist Plymouth Pilgrims. The colony failed, and John Balch was one of a small number who did not return to England, but stayed and walked overland to the site where they founded Salem. Balch was staunchly Puritan, albeit of the sort that favored purifying the Church of England rather than the separatism of the large numbers of people who moved into the Massachusetts Bay colony only a couple of years after he helped found it, and a founding member of the first church at Salem. He held various offices of trust, and often acted in magisterial capacity as arbitrator, principal land surveyor. Had a fair education for his time. In 1638 he moved from Salem to 200 acres in Bass River (Beverly). Severl of his grandchildren gave rise to dynasties of clergy, and great grandson Ebenezer gave the land for the SEcond parish church. The Balch's of Somerset county, England, several lines, were prosperous yeomen and gentry, very active in local government, John's line particularly in running local schools. his will names sons: * Benjamin b 1629 John b 1630 married MARY CONANT, had one child, Mary. John drowned 1/16/1662 while trying to cross the river near his father's home in a storm. The court divided his l/4 share of his father's land between his widow and his daughter. In 1663 young Mary died, and the court ordered the land to Benjamin after seven years. This from the court records. The widow remarried, a Dodge. Freeborn b 1631 Not married. He disappeared about 1658. Family tradition had it he may have returned to England. I've heard he might have died on the way back to England, but the family themselves didn't know it if he did, since ten years later Freeborn's "self-styled" executor, a local merchant and possibly his employer or a creditor, signed his 1/4 share of his father's land over to Benjamin, conditionally, allowing for the condition that Freeborn might actually be alive. Two years later the settlement of his estate was finalized. This from the deed. Parents of Samuel Rice Deacon Edmund Rice b abt 1594 of Stantstead, S, Engl settled at Sudbury moved to Marlboro d 5/3/1663 Marlboro MA m 10/15/1618 Bury St Edmonds, Engl, or Sudbury, Middlesex, MA, Thomasine HOsmer Frost b 1599/1600 Herfordshire, Engl d 6/13/1654 Sudbury MA dau of Edmund or Edward Frost and Thomasine Belgrave, they came to MA, too. Rice was an ambitious young yeoman. He moved constantly from one town to another, always quickly becoming a major landowner with his habit of buying up pieces of land here and there. He lived at a time when yeoman farmers in parts of England that managed land by the old feudal ways were beginning to buy up personal pieces of land. In the two towns where he lived in England, people were actually bying, selling and trading pieces of land like crazy. Rice was never satisfied, either with his land holdings, or with the people and government where he lived, and he continually moved on. He moved from Bury St Edmonds, Suffolk, Engl, to Berkhamstead, Hertfordshire, then to Watertown, MA, from there to Sudbury, where he was another founder and second in power to Peter Noyes, see below, and then "not content with the (conservatively transformed feudal, based on compromise between people from all over England with many different kinds of experience in how to divide and use land) land policy of Noyes and his followers, Rice helped lead a younger faction out of Sudbury to establish still anther New England town with differing social policies." (Powell, Sumner Chilton. Puritan Village - social historical study of Sudbury) It is difficult to see why the people who decided to leave Berkhamstead for MA, which included Thomas Axtell son of William, Robert Darvell, and Edmund Rice, did. These three were in the thick of doing the most buying and selling of land. But plenty of land was available. It seems not to have been possible to satisfy these particular individuals. They also seem to have been dissatisfied at the way land, taxes, penalties etc were assessed - though they themselves, the chief beneficiaries of the decisions that were made, wre making them! It seems as if all they really didn't control was the rights of lower and poorer people to appeal to the courts. In Sudbury, Rice, Darvell and Axtell tolerated the open field famring system in Sudbury fo fifteen years, but clearly wanted to run their own freehold farms as independent managers; Rice continued his practice of buying up lots of land and emerged with the largest single farm in Sudbury. (Powell) Berkhamsted was a market town, a seat of wol-trading and manfacture, adn a chartered borough. Darvell and Axtell wre had experience in town government. Thmas Aztell's father, William had been a stone warden (in charge of roads) a churchwarden and a sideman, then a lifetime chief burgess of the borough, served a year as mayor and was elected town clerk 1639. DArvell also had been a chief burgess. Had a permanent place on town councel. Edmund Rice was nt there long enough to be considered for an officer before he left for New England. Some argue that Edward Rice and not Deacon Edmund Rice married Thomazine Frost. Then controversy on if father of Thomasine Frost was Edward who married Thomasine Belgrave, or Edmund who married Thomasine Belgrave. children: Mary Rice chr 8/23/1619 Stanstead, Suffolk, England Henry age 50 1/25/1667 b abt 1617/20 chr 2/13/1620/21 Stanstead, Suffolk, England m Elizabeth Moore at Sudbury, 2/1/1643 lived Sudbury and Framingham d there 2/10/1710-11 Elizabeth d 8/3/1705 Edward m 1 Anna ___ said to have been Agnes Bent, d w/o issue.

This made for fun in Sudbury MA, whre a half dozen emigrants from East Anglia spearheaded a bitter dispute by bringing the younger members of the community around to their freehold ideas of land use. People also wre heavily penailzed in fines and public penance for such offenses as morals, failing to pay proper attention to their church, etc. But The area was in the thick of nonconformist sentiment. Among those who got into trouble for insufficient attention to church were the Goodnow's. But (noncomformist ministers) had an irresistable apeal. The whole Goodnow family was drawn to these vigourous sermons and to others of a similar Nonconformist variety. In February, 1637, Ralph, Simon and Edmund Goodnow were forced to come before their archdeacon once again. They wre al presented 'for going to Shaftesbury to church on Sudnays and Holy Days,' and they quite fankly asked their superior if they could not attend other churches than their own'. They were ordered to reappear the following month with certifcates that they had attended morning and evening prayer at their own church." (Powell, p 73) Goodnow was a churchwarden at Donhead St Andrew. Requied to do public penance and contribute htirty shiling to the poor of their parish, a heavy fine. For wanderings from their parish church. The Goodenows obeyed dutifully, didn't openly show their resentment. But, joined by Walter Haines of nearby Sutton Mandeveille , a large Goodnow tribe headed for Massachusetts on thhe Confidence in 1638. "From 1638 onward they were determined to establish the true path to God, narrow though it might be." Haynes another of the four founding leadrs of Sudbury. (Pendleton ws the fourth) Edmund Goodnow was there, too. Walter Haines adn Edmund Goodnw also major landowners. Sudbury was the most conservative of the New England towns in the sense of everyone had to go to church, and its church ws one of the first to admit only those who could objectively demonstrate that they were saved or in a state of grace to be admitted to communion; this, tied in strongly with the doctrine of predestination and Election, was one of the sources of anxiety in the Puritan mind that led to such fun and games as the witch trials in Salem. Parents of Dorothy Noyes and also of Thomas Noyes father of Joseph, b 1637; Peter Noyes (emigrant), b 1592, Foxcotte, Hampshire, England, d 9/23/1657 Sudbury Middlesex Engl son of Richard Noyes, m Weyhill, Hampshire, Engl, Elizabeth, b 1594, P,,,England. Peter Noyes and son Thomas were probably related to Nicholas Noyes, father of Salem clergical critter, and his brother. They lived six miles from Nicholas Noyes family in Cholderton, Wiltshire (which ws not in a different part of England). A court deposition of 1652 on display in Weyhill REctory MSS, attest tht the two families knew ea other well, Nicholas called Peter's family very good friends, and his family knew the details of the other Noyes' family's trips to New England. Hre is a Salem clergical critter family tree: Rev. William Noyes, Oxford grad, d 1622 - brother Robert, prominent yeoman in the town. Son Nathan, an Oxford grad also inherited his father's parish. Brother Robert, also a prominent yeoman in the town. Younger brothers James, 25, Nicholas, 18, possibly infl by their cosin, Rev. Thomas Parker..James had been to Oxford. But Peter Noyes seems to have been much steadier and more deliberate, seemingly a born leader, he was most in charge of new community of Sudbury, MA. He needed to be able to make decisions particularly about land use by compromise, as the settlers came from parts of England with vastly different patterns of land use and division, and ownership. Peter's uncle ran Ramridge Hall, where the town court was, and Robert Noyes another uncle, managed the second largest property in the village, Blissmore Hall. These were farms. The Noyes family were considered one of the leading families in the parish. He sailed from Southampton in 1638 w three servants, his eldest son and daughter, and a neighbor, John Bent. Granted plowland, meadow, upland, and a lot of 70 acres in Watertown. Went back for the rest of his family, disposed of business, turned his land over to the lord of the manor, and returned to New England. Noyes and a group of selectmen founded town of Sudbury. Goodnows and Haineses were also from towns in England that used open field system. In Weyhill, though some farmers tried to acquire more personal land, aggressive reformers were resented. Peter controlled a total of 116 acres of land in Weyhill, one way or another. Three cottages, four parcel, a freehold of 55 acres in Foxcott worth 300 pounds in 1652. The lord of Weyhill was a fiction; Ewelme Hospital, a property of Queen's College in Oxford, was actual "Lord". Heavy system of fees, taxes in feudal system. He served on the court-baron jury for four years, bailiff of the court 1637, He was also a church warden. TENTH GENERATION Parents of Edmund Rice Henry or Thomas Rice b abt 1555 Sudbury.
