FIFTEENTH GENERATION

18554. John Hewes

18555. (19773ii) Mary Foote -- HOLCOMB LINE

"(18554) JOHN HEWES of Royston, Herts., chandler, made his will 20 June, the 19th year of the reign of King James. He appointed his wife, (18555) Mary, sole executrix, and nominated his brother, (37109i) Thomas Hewes, and brother-in-law, Joseph Foote, as supervisors and overseers.

"His legacies to his sons were made payable at their reaching their twenty-fourth year. Those to the daughters at their twenty-first year. It is probable that none of the children was born earlier than 1603. It is also evident that the eldest child was born not long after that date. The legacies were as follows: to (18555ii) Jonathan, forty pounds; to (18555iii) Joshua, thirty pounds; to the daughters, (18555v) Mary, (9277) Elizabeth, (18555vii) Sarah, (18555vi) Hester, (18555viii) Lidia, Phebe, and (18555ix) Anne, each twenty pounds. The will was proved 21 Aug, 1621, and is recorded in register Dale, quire 87, Prerogative Court of Canterbury at London.

"Royston is a village in the extreme northeastern corner of Hertfordshire, on the border of Cambridgeshire, and is on the main road from Hertford to Cambridge, somewhat nearer the latter than the former place. It is about forty miles north of London. Chauncey says of Royston that the town lies in five parishes, two-thirds of the town being within the parishes of Therfield and Barkway in Hertfordshire, the remainder lying in the parishes of Melbourn, Kneesworth and Bassingbourn in Cambridgeshire. The church of Royston is of the diocese of London.

The Footes were a well-to-do family. Reference to the pedigree will show many of their intermarriages, and prominent members. It was in this circle of relatives that Joshua Hewes grew up. He thus was connected with a family which had much to do with New England."

18556. William Trescott

18557. Elizabeth Nute

Note: Record submitted after 1991 by a member of the LDS Church. No source info. available. It appears that William and Elizabeth's marriage records were found, but there is no record I know of which names their children. "Tre-" is a Cornish prefix meaning "town, place, or from the place of"

18558. George Dyer

"DYER, ...(18558) GEORGE, Dorchester, sat on the jury at Court of Assist. 28 Sept. 1630, and may well be presum. to have come in the Mary and John, req. adm. as freem. 19 Oct. and was sw. 18 May foll. He was made constable 1632, had w. (18559) Elizabeth d. (9279) Elizabeth wh. m. (9278) William Trescott; and (18559iii) Mary, w. of (18559iii[1]) William Pond; d. June 1672. His will was of 30 Dec. bef. ||"

18559. Elizabeth Capen

"In his will of 9 October 1638 (37119i) Bernard Capen names as one of his trustees "my brother (18558) George Dyer...

"In 1634 Reverend John White (1575-1648) of Dorchester, Dorset , prepared a list of those adventurers who had been associat ed with him in the New England fishing trade from 1623 to 1628, and toward the end of the list is "George Dier, living in New England" [NEHGR 61:280]. This indicatesthat George Dyer was perhaps from Dorchester in Dorset, or at least from one of the three counties of Dorset, Devon or Somerset.

"In his will, dated 31 December 1671 and proved 2 August 1672, George Dyer bequeathed to `my beloved daughter (9279) Elisabeth the wife of (9278) William Trescot...', to `my beloved daughter (18559iii) Mary the wife of (18559iii[1]) William Pond...'; to `my loving son-in-law (18559i[1]) James White of Dorchester my looms for weaving with all the utensils thereunto belonging in case he the said James will make use of them in the said work..."

"Banks provides three guesses for the origin of George Dyer, all based on "Banks Mss.": Dorchester, Dorset; Fitzhead, Somerset; and Wincanton, Somerset. (Some additional data, still far from conclusive, are given in M&JCH 2:97, 3:56, 13:18.) The only evidence for a wife or wives for George Dyer, aside from the existence of his daughters, is the record of the admission to church of Abigail Dyer in 1636. Savage claims that Dyer had wife Elizabeth, but there is no record evidence for this, and there may be some confusion with the daughter Elizabeth. Related to the question of the wife or wives of George Dyer is the bequest to son-in-law James White. Does this imply a third daughter who married James White, or a marriage to a widow White who was mother of James?"
