THIRTEENTH GENERATION

4792. Thomas Clarke I

"CLARK, ...(4792) THOMAS, Plymouth, a carpenter, came in the Ann 1623, m. (4793) Susanna, d. of wid. (9587) Mary Ring, (bef. 1631, when in her mo.'s will he is nam.), had (4793i) Andrew; (2396) James; (4793v) Susanna, wh. m. 3 Nov. 1658, (4795i) Barnabas Lothrop; (4793iv) William; (4793iii) John; and (4793vi) Nathaniel. He was rep. 1651 and 5, m. sec. w. 1664, wid. (4792[2]) Alice Nichols, d. of Richard Hallet, liv. in 1670 at Harwich, where he had third w. Elizabeth Crow, perhaps wid. of John, and d. 24 Mar. 1697, aged, says the gr.stone, 98, or more prob. only 92, since in 1664 he [[vol. 1, p. 401]] made. that he was a. 59 yrs. old. But to this suffic. longev. the "Guide to Plymouth," 255, would make alarming addit. in his note, "suppos. mate of the Mayflower." We can hardly doubt, that the oldest surv. of that memo. voyage, within the bounds of the Old Colony, would have been too well known to need a weak tradit. to lean on; and that officer of 1620 must have been older than the oldest liv. in 1697, had he not been d. many yrs. bef. In 1627 this Thomas, not the mate, had sh. in the div. of lds. as com. in the Ann, not Mayflower."

NOTES: "...Amos Otis THOUGHT that the second wife of Rev. John [Lothrop] was Ann Hammond and was careful to so state. Since then it has been treated as if it w[ere] cast in concrete. As far as I know there is no proof of the 2nd wife other than, there was a second wife."

"Samuel House, brother of (4794[1]) Hannah House married Elizabeth Hammond, daughter of William & Elizabeth Hammond of Watertown, MA... In a record of admission to the church, Rev. John Lothrop called her "my sister, Elizabeth Hammon" which coincides with her being his brother's wife, NOT his wife's sister, as has been eroneously written. Ann Hammond [(1616-1683)] married Thomas Dimock/Dimmock [(children born ABT 1635-1646)]."

PERSECUTION OF THE PURITANS UNDER CHARLES I

After receiving his degree in 1609, (4794) John Lathrop became the perpetual curate of the Egerton Church in Kent (the last Anglican Church parish he would serve). In 1624 he succeeded Rev. Henry Jacob as pastor of the first Independent (Congregationalist) Society in London. Jacob was one of the puritans who fled to Leyden, Netherlands before 1616 to avoid persecution, but returned to England when, in 1620, a portion of the church moved to Plymouth MA.

In 1625, Charles I became King. He tried to conform all politicial and religious institutions, sold monopolies, titles, and church positions to the highest bidder, and levied fines against those who refused to take an oath of allegiance. Those who did not affirm that the Church of England was the true apostolic church were excommunicated. To this end, Charles I appointed Bishop Laud as Archbishop of Canterbury and empowered him to reform the entire Church of England. Laud established a uniform system of worship that he imposed on all Englishmen; he had burned books and pamphlets that did not pass his censorship, and ordered inspection tours of parish churches to insure the use of the Book of Common Prayer.

On 22 Apr 1632, Rev. Lothropp's group met at the home of Humphrey Barnet in Black Friars, London for their normal worship. Archbishop Laud sent agents to arrest the group, seized forty-two, while eighteen others escaped. They were all sent to Newgate prison (built for felons). By 1634, the group had been released on bail, except for Rev. Lothropp, who finally procurred his liberty on the occassion of his wife's sickness. She died shortly thereafter, and his many children were placed with the Bishop at Lambeth. He was finally granted liberty to go into foreigh exile on 24 Apr 1634. He came to America on the 'Griffin' in 1634 together with six of his seven living children and thirty-two members of his church, landing in Plymouth, MA.

On 27 Sep 1634, Rev. Lothropp moved to a settlement of nine houses called Scituate, MA, where the meeting-house was the largest home, belonging of Mr. James Cudworth (ABT 1604-1680), who would become one of the colony's leading military figures. On 8 Jan 1634/35 thirteen initial members formed the Church at Scituate, and he was ordained as their minister. Not everyone was happy with the manner in which Rev. Lothropp conducted his religious duties. On 26 Jun 1639, Rev. Lothropp and a few of his followers moved to an area on Cape Cod that became known as Barnstable... -- http://www.gendex.com/users/Enf_Bry/Enf_Bry/n5.html#N561

(4788) Kenelm, a. 1630, as Miss Thomas teaches, but from Bradford's and Winthrop's contempo. Histories we know, that he came with Allerton in the White Angel, arr. at Saco, 27 June 1631; liv. some time at Scituate, m. (4799) Margaret, d. perhaps, of the sec.
