956	From Ancestral Records and Portraits Vol. 2. The Grafton Press. New York. 1910, p. 453-454: CORBIN ARMS: Sable on a chief or, three revens, ppr. MOTTO: Provitas Verus, Honos. As early as 1154 to 1161, one Robert Corbin gave lands to the Abbey of Ealesworth. From Robert are traced ten generations to Nicholas Corbin, seized of Hall End, and lands in the County of Warwick, etc. Four generations after this is "Thomas Corbin of Hall End afors'd, born 24 May, 1594, died June, 1637; bur'd at Kingswinford." Thomas married 1620, Winifred, daughter of Gowen Grosvenor, of Sutton Colfield, County Warwick, England. COLONEL HENRY CORBIN, third son of Thomas and Winifred Corbin, born 1629, died in Virginia January 8, 1675. He was the progenitor of the Corbins in America, emigrating about 1654, and locating first in the parish of Stratton Major, in King and Queen County. Afterwards he had lands in Lancaster, Westmoreland, Middlesex, etc., as the ensuing will show. He was Burgess from Lancaster 1658, 1659, and 1660; one of the Council 1663, and Justice of Middlesex 1673, after which he was seated at "Pecatone" in Westmoreland County, patents for which were dated March 26, 1664. This estate was of such proportions that its gardens, with orange trees, etc., were quoted in books of travel of that day. He married, July 25, 1645. Alice, a daughter of Richard Eltonhead, of Eltonhead, County Lancaster, England, and the widow of Roland Burnham. After the death of Henry Corbin, she married third, Captain Henry Creek, who died at the home of Colonel Richard Lee, in August, 1684. Henry and Alice Corbin had issue: Henry, died young: Thomas, lived in England unmarried, and his brother Gawin, in Virginia, inherited his lands; GAWIN; Laetitia, married RICHARD LEE, of Mount Pleasant, adjoining his father's estate; Alice, married Philip Lightfoot; Winifred, married Le Roy Griffin; Anne, married William Tayloe, and Frances married Governor Edmund Jennings of Virginia. GAWIN CORBIN, married first Catherine Wormeley, but had no issue; married second, Jane (widow Wilson), and daughter of John Lane, of Laneville, Middlesex County, where in 1705 he was Naval Officer of the Rappahannock, afterwards Burgess, and later of the Council, and its President. Issue: Richard, married Elizabeth Tayloe of Mount Airy; John, married Laetitia Lee (daughter of Richard); GAWIN II.; Joanna, married Major Robert Tucker; Jenny, married COLONEL JOHN BUSHROD of "Bushfield"; Alice, married Benjamin Needler; Ann, married Isaac Allerton, grandson of the Mayflower immigrant. GAWIN CORBIN II., son of Gawin and Jane (Lane) Corbin, was Burgess 1720 to 1722, and Councillor 1740. He married Hannah (born 1701), the daughter of HON. THOMAS LEE, President of the Council, and his wife Hannah Ludwell. Their daughter, Jenny, married COLONEL JOHN BUSHROD; their daughter Hannah Bushrod, married JOHN AUGUSTINE WASHINGTON, whose daughter Jane (or Jenny, named for her Corbin grandmother), married her cousin, WILLIAM AUGUSTINE WASHINGTON.	Corbin, Thomas (I3545)
957	From Genealogical and Historical Notes on Culpeper Co., VA: HENRY PENDLETON, eldest son of Philip Pendleton, the emigrant, and Isabella Hart or Hurt, was born in 1683. He m. in 1701, Mary Taylor, dau. of James Taylor, of Carlisle, Eng.. and his 2nd. wife Mary Gregory. Henry was 18 and Mary 13 years of age. He died in 1721, the same year his youngest son, Edmund, was born. His wife m. 2nd. Ed. Watkyns and died 1770. Of his five sons, the oldest, James, and the third, Nathaniel, were for many years Clerks of the Vestry and Lay readers at the small chapels of St. Mark's Parish; and Philip, the son of James, was Clerk in 1782, when the Vestry books closed. His two daughters married brothers, James and William Henry Gaines. His youngest son, Edmund, though without a father's care, made for himself a name which will be known and remembered as long as Virginia's sons read her history. By his large circle of nephews and nieces, many of them his own age, he was loved and revered, and the tradition of his kindness and ever ready help is handed down through nearly every branch of the family. Almost all the Pendletons of Virginia trace their descent to Henry Pendleton and Mary Taylor. From Yesterday's Roots, Today's Branches by Pauline Pendleton Wall: Henry, the eldest child, was born ca 1683, in Virginia. He married first Mary Taylor, daughter of James Taylor of Carlisle, England in 1701, in Caroline County, Virginia. He was only 18 years old at the time and she was 13. After Mary's death, he married Mary Gregory. As a coincidence, he died in the year 1721, the same year as his father, Philip, death and year his youngest son, Edmund, was born. His widow married second Ed Watkins. Then Mary Gregory Pendleton Watkins died in 1770. A number of his offspring, as well as some children of his brothers and sisters, were quite prestigious in life and the history of our country. The great majority of Pendleton in Virginia trace their ancestry through him and his first wife, Mary Taylor. The first and third sons, James and Nathaniel, were for many years clerks of the vestry and lay readers at the small chapels of St. Marks Parish of Virginia. James was still clerk in 1782 when the vestry books were closed. His youngest son, Edmund, without his father's care, made for himself a name which is known and will be remembered as long as Virginia's inhabitants read her history.	Pendleton, Henry (I3674)
958	From Genealogical and Historical Notes on Culpeper County, VA: The first of the name of Pendleton who came to the Colony of Virginia to make their home (in 1674) were two young men, Philip Pendleton, a teacher, and Nathaniel, his brother, a clergyman. The latter died very soon, unmarried; he evidently held no clerical charge in the Colony, as his name has never been given among the lists of the clergy of that time. Philip returned to England about 1680; tradition says he married a lady of high social position, but she died, and he returned to the Colony, and in 1682 married Isabella Hurt (or Hert or Hart,) and from this marriage are descended all the Pendletons of Virginia. Philip was born in Norwich, England, in 1650, son of Henry Pendleton, 3rd son of Henry Pendleton, son and heir of George Pendleton, Gentleman, who married Elizabeth Pettingall dau. of John Pettingall, Gentleman of Norwich, Eng. George Pendleton moved from Manchester to Norwich in 1613. His son and heir, Henry, probably married Susan(???) because in Vol. 48 of the New England Hist. and Gen. Register, is found a copy of the will of Sir John Pettus, Knight, of Norwich, Jan. 1613, which says: "Appoint my cousin, Henry Pendleton, Supravisor of my estate." Also Thomas Pettus, of Caistree, St. Edmond's Norfolk, Oct. 1618. "To my Cousins, Henry Pendleton and Susan, his wife, annuity out of my houses &c. in Norwich." This family of Pettus is the same as the one in Va. The Pendletons were originally from Manchester, where the name was well known, some of them being in public life as early as the reign of Henry VIII. The Coat of Arms used by the Pendletons of Norwich and by the emigrant, Philip, indicate by the presence of Escallop shells and by the Cardinal's chapeau, in the Crest, a connection with Crusader traditions. The New England Pendletons, descendants of Brian Pendleton, came from Lancaster, and show a different Coat of Arms. Philip Pendleton is said to have settled in New Kent Co., but there is no record of the family on the Register of St. Peter's Parish; he probably lived always in the portion called afterwards Caroline county. the records of which were burnt during the war of '61-65. Most of his descendants settled in counties to the north of New Kent. He died in 1721, the same year his oldest son Henry died, and the same year his grandson, the eminent Judge Edmund Pendleton, was born. He had three sons and four daughters, two of his family married into the family of James Taylor, of Carlisle, Eng., and by other intermarriages, a close connection with the Taylor family has been preserved. Some of his descendants were among the founders of St Mark's Parish. From Prominent Men of West Virginia, p. 341: Philip Pendleton was married to Isabella Hurt in 1682, and their descendants by inter-marriage became connected with the most prominent families of Virginia, and by force of character and will, took prominent places in the history of that Commonwealth. The family traces its descent from Henry Pendleton, of Norwich, England, one of whose sons emigrated to the colony and settled in that portion of New Kent which now forms Caroline county, about the year 1674. From Yesterday's Roots, Today's Branches by Pauline Pendleton Wall: Phillip was born Mar 26, 1654 and was baptized Apr. 2, 1654, at St. Peters in Mancroft of Norwich, England. He became the founder of the Pendleton family in Virginia. He was twenty years old in 1674 when he arrived with a five-year contract to fulfill. Since he was referred to as a teacher earlier, he was likely a tutor for some family at the colony. He planned to return to England when it was finished. Since his grandfather (great-grandfather) was Mayor of Norwich and also Counselor for the Province of Virginia, that may have been the influence which caused Nathaniel and Philip to come to America. Philip lived first in Rappahannock County, later moved to Essex, then to King and Queen County. Philip completed his term of contract as agreed and returned to England. Tradition say he married a lady of high position but she died within the year and his father, Henry Jr., died in 1682. He returned to Virginia that same year. In 1682, not long after Philip's arrival back in the colony, he married Isabella Hurt (sometimes spelled Hert or Hart). It is from this marriage that all the early Pendleton's are descended. A lot of early records were burned in the war of 1861-1865, and others have deteriorated from lack of proper care, but enough have survived to give us a fair glimpse of the trail of this family. Philip was living in King and Queen County in 1687. Evidence of this is that he signed a deed in Essex County that year and gave his residence as King and Queen County, Virginia. His eldest son, Henry, also signed a deed in Essex County in 1719, using the same location of address as his father. It is interesting that the name of Philip Pendleton is on the "Registry of Virginia Gentry Entitled to Coat Armor." He used the emblem described earlier in this writing.	Pendleton, Phillip (I3678)
959	From Genealogical and Personal Memoirs of Worchester County, Vol 2, p. 64: John Whipple (1), the immigrant ancestor of Horace P. Whipple, of Whitinsville, Massachusetts, was born in England, 1617. He was a house carpenter and was employed by Mr. Stoughton in Dorchester, Massachusetts, in 1632. His house was near what is now called Neponset. He removed to Ipswich and became a proprietor of that town in 1638. His brother, Matthew Whipple, also settled at Ipswich and was the ancestor of many Essex county and New Hampshire families. John Whipple returned to Dorchester and was a freeman and deputy to the general court, May 13, 1640. He was one of the court's commissioners of valuation in 1640. He was engaged in trade with William Paine and others in 1647. He had the rank of cornet in the military service. He was a town officer of Dorchester. He and his wife joined the Dorchester church, in 1641. He sold his house and lot at Dorchester, in 1658, to James Minot, and removed to Providence, Rhode Island, but he returned again to Ipswich and sold land there May 31, 1673. He was recorded as a purchaser July 27, 1659, at Providence, and drew lot 45 as proprietor February 19, 1665. He took the oath of allegiance in 1666. He was a deputy from Providence to the general assembly in 1666-69-70-72-74-76-77. He was licensed to keep a tavern at Providence in 1674. He was treasurer of the town from 1668 to 1683; town clerk 1670-71-72-76-77-81-82-83. He was in the Providence town council in 1669. He was virtually a resident of Providence after 1659. He refused to abandon his home during King Philip's war and was one of those entitled to the Indian prisoners, who were sold for a term of years to the planters. John Whipple died May 16, 1685, at Providence, aged about sixty-eight years, according to his gravestone there. From Bassett-Preston Ancestors, p. 318: CAPTAIN JOHN1 WHIPPLE was born in England, 1616, and came to Dorchester, Mass., where he received a grant of land in 1637. He married, in 1639, in Dorchester, Sarah (???), who was born, 1624. He and his wife were received in the Dorchester church, 1641. Six sons and two daughters were born in Dorchester. In 1658 he removed to Providence, R. I., and two sons and one daughter were born there. He was town clerk, 1670, and for several years; town treasurer, 1668-1683; deputy to Rhode Island General Assembly, 1666-1677. In 1674 he received a license to keep a public house, and an inn license was granted, 1680, and he became one of the three most conspicuous inn holders of the century. Whipple Inn was a favorite place of meeting for the town council. In 1690 the October session of the Rhode Island General Assembly met there. He took the oath of allegiance to Charles II, 1666; served in King Philip's War, 1675; was one of the defenders of Providence when it was attacked by the Indians. A "house carpenter." His wife died, 1666, and he died May 16, 1685. They were at first buried in a lot near their home, but were later removed to the North Burying Place, Providence. He mentioned in his will all his eleven children; his will, dated May 8, 1682, was probated May 27, 1685. He was one "who staid and went not away," in 1676, so he had a share in the Indian captives whose services were sold for a term of years. Genealogy of the Whipple-Wright, Wager, Ward-Pell, McLean-Burnet Families, p. 11: Captain John Whipple, (Emigrant Ancestor), one of the early settlers of Providence, R. I., was born in England, 1617, and died May 16, 1685. What part of England he came from is not known. In 1637, he received a grant of land at Dorchester Neck. He married Sarah (???) at Dorchester, Mass., in 1639, and they united with the church at that place in 1641. Her maiden name is not known. He was a house carpenter by trade and owned a house and fifty acres of land near Neponset village. He lived at Dorchester about eighteen years and during that time, there were born unto him six sons and two daughters. He sold his house and land to James Minot in 1658, and removed to Rhode Island, settling at Providence. He had two sons and one daughter born at Providence, making in all eleven children. In 1660 he received a grant of land in Louisquisset. He also owned land in several other places as mentioned in his will. February 19, 1665, he had Lot 45 in the division of lands. May 31, 1666, he took the oath of allegiance to King Charles II, as did also his oldest son John. He was a member of the town council of Providence, in 1669; town clerk, 1670-2, 1676-7, 1681-3; and deputy to the Rhode Island General Assembly, 1666-9-70-2-4-6-7. In the year 1675, John Whipple was one among twenty-five others who voted at a town meeting to stay at Providence, instead of going to Newport, in the time of King Philip's War. Most of the inhabitants of the town availed themselves of the offer made them by their friends at Newport, and the town was nearly deserted. In 1676, Providence was attacked by Indians; many homes were burned and much damage done to the inhabitants. It is evident that he had to bear his part of the calamity. In 1679 he was appointed by the R. I. Colonial Assembly on a committee to give an account of the late war with the Indians, and make returns to the Assembly. March 2, 1680, an inn license was granted him, and he is quoted as being one of the three most conspicuous inn holders of the century. From the staid and sober character of the Whipple Inn, as well as from its central location, it became the favorite place of meeting for the town council and court of probate. In 1690, the October Session of the Rhode Island General Assembly met at the Whipple Inn. Captain Whipple lived in Providence about twenty-six years; during this period he experienced many hardships and privations, such as attend the first settlers of a new country; but among the many losses he had to meet, there could be none greater than the loss of his wife, who died in 1666, living with him only about seven years after they located at Providence, and leaving in his care a family of several small children, the youngest an infant. He died May 16, 1685, and with his wife was buried in a garden lot near the house. After several years, they with others of the family were reinterred at the North Burying Place. The following are the inscriptions on their tombstones: In Memory of CAPT. JOHN WHIPPLE, Who was Born in England and Died in Providencetown, the 16th day of May, A. D. 1685. About 68 Years of Age. In Memory of MRS. SARAH WHIPPLE, Wife of Capt. John Whipple, She was Born in Dorchester, in New England, and Died in Providence, A. D. 1666. Aged about 42 years. The will of Captain John Whipple was proved the 27th day of May 1685. His son Joseph was the Executor. This will is printed in full on pages 28 to 31 in Genealogical Notes of the Whipple-Hill families by John Whipple Hill, published in 1897. In the history of Providence County (1891) and in the R. I. Historical Society there is considerable information about Captain John Whipple, and his descendants. The oldest dwelling in the city is the Whipple house, North Main St., No. 369. It dates back more than two centuries. When the town of Providence was burned by the Indians this building was spared, as the Indians revered the structure because Roger Williams and his followers had worshiped there. Roger Williams and John Whipple are frequently mentioned as holding town offices in Providence.	Whipple, Capt. John (I3348)
960	From Genealogical and Personal Memoirs of Worchester County, Vol. 2, p. 64: Eleazer Whipple, son of John Whipple (1), was baptized at Dorchester, Massachusetts, March 8, 1746, and was born probably within a month of that date. He was also a carpenter or housewright. He was a soldier in King Philip's war and was wounded. The town of Providence paid six pounds "for curing" him of his wound. He took the oath of allegiance in 1667. He was deputy to the general assembly in 1693 and 1701. He distributed his estate largely before his death. He deeded land to his sons Job and Eleazer, January 1, 1714. Later he gave the homestead to James, provided he pay legacies of fifty pounds each to his brother Daniel and his sister Elizabeth. His sons Eleazer, James and Job, all of Providence, deeded to brother Daniel, of Wrentham, certain lands. He died November 9, 1719, and his widow Alice and son James administered the estate. He married, January 26, 1669, Alice Angell, born 1649, died August 13, 1743, daughter of Thomas and Alice Angell, of Rhode Island. Alice, widow of Eleazer, made her home at Smithfield. She resigned as administratrix of the estate January 22, 1733. The children: Eleazer, Jr.; Abel, born at Providence, June 3, 1675; Margaret; Elizabeth, born 1680; Job, born 1684; James, born 1686; Daniel, see forward.	Whipple, Eleazer (I4161)
961	From Genealogy of the Spotswood Family in Scotland and Virginia, Charles Campbell, J. Munsell, Albany, NY, 1868, p. 6-8: John Spottiswoode, second son of William Spottiswoode, of that ilk, was born 1509, and, though young at his father's death, had a liberal education, and passed his course at the College of Glasgow, where he took his degrees of Master of Arts, and Doctor of Divinity. He was a man of great learning and piety. Theology having been his chief study, he became a great ornament to the church of Scotland. See Spotswood's 'Church History', etc. He took great pains in promoting the interest of the reformation. He married Beatrix, daughter of Patrick Crichton, by whom he had two sons and one daughter: 1, John, his heir, afterwards archbishop of St. Andrews: 2, Doctor James, of whom, immediately. His only daughter married .... Tennant, of Lynch House, in East Lothian.	Spottiswoode, John (I3483)
962	From Genealogy of the Spotswood Family in Scotland and Virginia, Charles Campbell, J. Munsell, Albany, NY, 1868: William Spottiswoode, of that ilk, who married Elizabeth, daughter of Henry Hopepringle of Forsonce, by whom he had three sons and one daughter: 1, David, his heir: 2, John, who carried on the line of the family: 3, Hugh, who had a charter of the lands of Barnacht, 1555. This daughter Jean was married to William Hay of Barra, an honorable cadet of the illustrious house of Tweedale, of whom the Hays of Rauna Alderglowns, etc., are descended. This William was a man of great bravery: he accompanied king James IV to England, in his unfortunate expedition at the battle of Flodden, 1513. He was succeeded by his eldest son.	Spottiswoode, William (I3484)
963	From Genealogy of the Whipple-Wright, Wager, Ward-Pell, McLean-Burnet Families, p. 13: John, born at Dorchester, 1640, and baptized March 9, 1641; died December 15, 1700. He lived in Providence, and held various civil offices. He was town clerk of Providence in 1670-71-78 and 1681; town treasurer in 1668 and 1683; a member of the town council in 1674-81-82; a member of the general assembly in 1669-70-74-77-81-82-84-86-90. December 4, 1663, he married Mary, daughter of Thomas and Mary (Small) Olney, who died in 1676. April 15, 1678, he married Rebecca, widow of John Scott, who died in 1701.	Whipple, John (I4172)
964	From Genealogy of the Whipple-Wright, Wager, Ward-Pell, McLean-Burnet Families, p. 14: He lived in Providence until 1692, on the estate left him by his father, when he bought land in the ancient limits of Rehoboth, now Cumberland, R. I. Rev. William Blackstone, one of the earliest settlers of Rhode Island, erected his study on a hill, and called the place "Study Hill", which name it still bears. The "Hill" at his death fell to his only son John, who deeded it to David Whipple. This deed is now in possession of the Historical Society at Providence. David Whipple, at the time of his death, was an ensign. His will is dated March 24, 1709, and proved January 8, 1711; his wife Hannah being the executrix.	Whipple, David (I4183)
965	From Genealogy of the Whipple-Wright, Wager, Ward-Pell, McLean-Burnet Families, p. 15: He, with his brother Jonathan, took the oath of allegiance to King Charles II, in May, 1682. He was a colonel of the Providence militia; was one of the town councilmen for twelve years, most of the time from 1715 to 1729; and representative to the general assembly for nineteen years, between 1698 and 1728. In 1723, he gave one hundred pounds toward building an Episcopal church on North Main Street, in Providence, it being the largest amount given by any one of those who contributed to its erection. He gave the use of a lot of land at the north end of Benefit Street to build a schoolhouse on, and it was called "Whipple Hall".	Whipple, Joseph (I4189)
966	From Les Seigneurs de Bohon by Jean LeMelletier, Coutances: Arnaud-Bellee, 1978: Milo of Gloucester (Milon, Miles Fitz Walter) inherited the title of constable of England and later that of earl of Hereford. He was the grandson of Roger de Pitres, contemporary of William the Conqueror and sheriff of Gloucester, and the son of Walter (Gautier), constable of Henry I. Milo possessed a considerable honor from the inheritance of his father's lands in Gloucestershire and his marriage in 1121 to Sybyl, sole heiress of Bernard de Newmarch. Milo died of a hunting accident on 25 December 1143, leaving four sons: Roger, who died childless in 1155; Walter, Henry, and Mahel, who all died childless before 1166. His inheritance was split among his daughters: Margery; Bertha, who married Philip de Brause; and Lucy. Instigated his son in law Humphrey de Bohun III to rally with Mathilda and defend Trowbridge against King Steven.	De Pãitres, Earl Of Hereford Miles (I2302)
967	From Memoirs of the Leonard, Thompson and Haskeel Families, p. 214: Francis Billington, 1608-1684, soon after his landing from the Mayflower, saw from the top of a tall tree a large sheet of water which he thought was the sea, and so reported it. On January 8, 1621, one of the master-mates of the Mayflower took a musket and went with Francis to find the sea he had discovered, which is now called Billington Sea and consists of two beautiful fresh water lakes near Plymouth. Some contend that the mate would not have gone with Francis alone, who was a mere boy, and that probably the father, John, went along. In 1634, Francis, then twenty-six years old, married Christian Penn Eaton and the pair had eight children, most of whom they were obliged to "bind out;" their financial struggle doubtless increased by the ostracism and infamy surrounding the family. One son, Joseph, was placed with John Cooke, and on account of frequent absences at which his parents were supposed to have connived, the court ordered that in case of future truancies both parents should sit in the stocks on lecture days. In later life we find Francis serving on committees and boards of reference which suggest that he had redeemed his standing in the community and Goodwin who speaks coldly of the Billingtons yet has the justice to add that "some of their descendants became worthy members of society." Francis left land to his daughter Martha, who married first, Samuel Eaton, and second, Robert Crossman, of a prominent family. Francis lived at Plymouth until 1699, when he moved to Middleboro and occupied land granted to him as one of the "First Comers." He lived there until his death, except for a few years during King Philip's War when he fled to Plymouth for safety. In his old age, Francis was dependent on his son Issac for support and died intestate. Francis' birth dates come from two conflicting sources of information. In 1650, the Lincolnshire survey of crown lands determined that Francis Billington of New England, a secondary lessee, was "aged forty years or thereabouts" in the previous year, thereby setting his birth ca. 1609. In 1674, Francis Billington disposed that he was aged 68.	Billington, Francis (I2424)
968	From Memoirs of the Leonard, Thompson and Haskell Families, p. 226: Christian Penn, who arrived on the Anne in 1623, was one of the few single women who came on the Pilgrim ships, the females on these being mostly either married women, or adolescent children. Perhaps Christian knew when she came that she was soon to become the third wife of Francis Eaton. It looks as though her marriage to him had been arranged beforehand by letter. Her elderly husband did not long survive his third marriage and his young widow was married in 1634 to Francis Billington. This was probably a love-match, otherwise Christian would not have been willing to become a member of the disgraced and ostracised Billington family. Sorrows thickened around this pair who had eight children they could not support. That Christian should have been obliged to see her children "bound out" into unsympathetic families must have been an overwhelming trial.	Penn, Christian (I2427)
969	From New England Families Genealogical and Memorial: Third Series, Volume IV, p. 1853: ANGELL The origina of Angell as a surname is uncertain. Some authorities claim that it is derived from Angel, a town in France, and some claim it is from the Greek word meaning "messenger." In very ancient times it was used in connection with the Christian name, as a descriptive term applied to character, and later to show that the family was of extraordinary beauty. In the Byzantine Empire in 1185, Konstantinos Angelos was a young man of noble family who received his name for that reason. Thomas Angell, the immigrant ancestor, was born in England about 1618. There is a tradition that he was the son of Henry Angell, of Liverpool, England, and that at the age of twelve he went to London to seek his fortune. In 1631 he came with Roger Williams, in the ship, "Lion," from London to Boston, and he was then regarded as a servant or apprentice of Williams. He went with Williams to Salem, remaining until 1636. He removed with him to Providence, Rhode Island, and had granted him the lot fronting on North Main street where now the First Baptist Church, the High School house and Angell street are situated. In 1652 and 1653 he was elected a commissioner, and in 1655, constable, which office he held for many years. He was as were all the inhabitants of Providence of that day a farmer. His will was dated May 3, 1685, and proved September 18, 1685. He was about seventy-six years old at the time of his death. He married Alice (???), whose will is dated October 2, 1694, and proved the January following. Children: John, mentioned below; James, married Abigail Dexter; Amphillis, married Edward Smith; Mary, married Richard Arnold; Deborah, married Richard Seabury; Alice, married Eleazer Whipple; Margaret, married Jonathan Whipple. From Thayer and Burton Ancestry, p. 15: THOMAS ANGELL, the early companion of Roger Williams and the first of the family name to settle in Rhode Island, was the son of Henry Angell, of Liverpool, England, and came to this country in the ship "Lyon," from Bristol, arriving at Boston in December, 1630. He first settled at Salem, but in 1636, with four others, came with Roger Williams to Providence, R. I., arriving there earlier than July. The previous winter had been spent at Seekonk. He was then a young lad living in the family of Roger Williams, whose only companion he was in that first memorable trip up the Providence river in a canoe. The next year, although still a minor, he signed the famous civil compact with twelve others. In 1656-7 a Massachusetts officer came to Pawtucket, arrested a man and attempted to return with him to Boston. The Providence authorities, hearing of it, sent Constable Thomas Angell, with others, one of whom was John Sayles, to rescue the prisoner. They found the Massachusetts officer at a house where he was to remain over night. The officer thus relates the occurrence: "About 10 o'clock comes in Thomas Angell, the constable of Providence, and a sergeant with four men more for to apprehend my body and Richard Chasmor, who was then our prisoner." The matter was argued at some length, with the result that the prisoner was finally released. At the close of the King Philip war Thomas Angell was on the committee that recommended the conditions under which the Indian captives were disposed of by the towns. They were required to serve those plucky inhabitants of Providence and Warwick who, upon being invited to seek shelter on the island of Rhode Island, "stayed and went not away." Besides being constable, he served as town clerk, juryman and commissioner. In 1694 he died, first making careful provisions in his will for his widow's welfare. Among other things, he stipulated that his son, James, should give her another cow, and the "keep of same" when the one given her by his son, John, had "become unfit for milk by age."	Angell, Thomas (I3346)
970	From New England Families Genealogical and Memorial: Third Series, Volume IV, p. 1853: John Angell, son of Thomas Angell, was born in Providence, Rhode Island, died there July 27, 1720. For a few years he lived on the Daniel Jenckes farm five miles from Providence, towards Lime Rock, on the Lewisquisit road. He removed to Providence and continued farming. He married, in 1669, Ruth Field, daughter of John Field. He was admitted a freeman, October 16, 1670. Children: Thomas, born March 25, 1672; John; Daniel, born May 2, 1680; Hope, mentioned below; James.	Angell, John (I4153)
971	From Pedigree's of Charlemagne's Descendants: Charlemagne was a man of deep familial piety. As indicated by the epitaphs of his sisters Rothaid and Adelaide, he knew his ancestry in the male line back to his great-great-great-grandfather and probably far more extensively than that. Grandson of Charles Martel and firstborn of Pepin and Bertha, he had two brother, Carloman and Pepin, and four sisters, Gisela, Adelaide, Rothaid, and Gertrude. Although there was ill will on the part of Carloman, Charlemagne named one of his sone for him (it was also the name of Charlemagne's uncle). One son, Pepin, was named for Charlgemagne's father and younger brother (the latter of whom died as a child of six); noe, Charles for his grandfather and himself; one, Theodoric, for a cousin. Three of his daughters, Adelaide, Gisela, and Rothaid, bore the names of his sisters; one, Hildegard, of his wife (her mother); one, Bertha, of his beloved mother; one, Theodrada, of a cousin; and one, Hiltrud, of his aunt. Only seven - Louis, Lothair, Hrotrud, Adaltrud, Drogo, Hugo, and Rothild-of the eighteen were not named for members of his immediate family. Initially Charlemagne expected a closely knit family alliance by virtue of his marriage to a Lombard princess, one whose sisters was married to his brother and joint king, Carloman, and another to his cousin, Duke Tassilo of Bavaria. But this plan collarpsed when he divorced her. A young cousin, Adalard, disapproved that action so strongly that he denounced it and abandone court for life as a monk. Later, however, the rift was healed and he became an influential adviser to the palace, as indeed so did his half-brothers and sisters, Wala, Bernarius, Gundrada, and Theodrada. Charlemagne had ten spouses: at least four, more likely five, lawful wives; at least five, possibly six, mistresses; and he had children by all but two of them. There were ultimately eight boys and ten girls. Ten or eleven died before their father. So far as we know, only two of his children had descendant beyond the second or third generation. About 768, at the age of twenty-six, Charlemagne took as his first spouse a high-born lady named Himiltrud. Einhard says that she was a concubine, but other evidence just as strong, if not stronger, indicates that she was a lawful wife. Certainly the pope considered her such. The child of this union, born about 769, was Pepin. Although described as of handsome face, he was unhappily deformed, a hunchback. Charlemagne loved the boy nonetheless and kept him in the family circle until 792 when Pepin was about twenty-three, but there were difficulties. Both the Byzantine east and the Teutonic west of that day believed that a serious physical defect was an impediment to possession of royal prerogatives. Whether rightly or wrongly, some of the Franks looked upon the child as illegitimate. And, moreover, the marriage and probably conception had occurred before Charlemagne was a sovereign ruler.	Charlemagne (I2367)
972	From Pedigrees of Charlemagne's Descendants: About a year after the young Charles, Carloman was born (773). For some reason that escapes us, his baptism was delayed. But when it was administered eight years later in Rom by the pope, the name Pepin was bestowed on him despite the existence of his hunchback half-brother who already bore that name. On the next day he was crowned king of Italy, where he spent much of his life, governing with the counsel of Abbot Adalard. He did 8 July 810, leaving his son Bernard as his successor and four young daughters whom Charlemagne reared as his own.	Carloman (I2364)
973	From Pedigrees of Charlemagne's Descendants: At the same time his brother Carloman (Pepin) was crowned king of Italy, as noted above, Louis was crowned king of Aquitaine, where he spent the first thirty-five years of his life. At Charlemagne's death in 814, he succeeded to the throne. After a troubled reign he died on 20 June 840. Following the birth of an illegitimate daughter (Alpais or Elpheid), he married twice and had four sons and two daughters of those unions.	Louis I The Pious (I3956)
974	From Pedigrees of Charlemagne's Descendants: Charles, born in 772, was almost immediately recognized as heir apparent to Charlemagne's present and future dominion. He had the indisputable advantage of being born "to the purple," that is after his father became sole and undoubted ruler of the Frankish state. Even so he was not officially crowned until Christmas, 800, in a ceremony overshadowed by his father's reception of the imperial title. Incredible as it seems, it appears that he never married, although he was thirty-nine years old when he died on 4 December 811.	Charles (I3952)
975	From Pedigrees of Charlemagne's Descendants: Hrotrud as born in 775. More fortunate than her sister, she lived until 6 June 810. When she was only six years old she was betrothed to the Byzantine Emperor Constantine VI, aged eleven, but for some reason the marriage alliance was repudiated by her father in 787. Later she married Count Rorico of Maine and had a child, Louis, who became abbot of the royal monastery of St. Denis.	Hrotrud (I3954)
976	From Robert Morrison's grandson's (Robert Morrison) autobiography, published in "The Scroll" for April 1897, p. 411: "Robert Morrison, my grandfather, was of Scotch-Irish parentage. He was born in County Derry, Ireland. The family was of the middle class, neither poor nor rich, and was connected in marriage with the Hamiltons in Scotland. In 1765, when Robert was sixteen years old, with his brothers older than himself, he came to America and settled in Delaware. Some of them emigrated to the Valley of Virginia; one kept on south; another wing went west to Vincennes, Kaskasia and St. Louis. "After the Revolutionary War, in which Robert had a share as one of the 'blue hen's chickens,' as soldiers from Delaware were called, he concluded to take his young wife, Elizabeth Culbertson, an English woman, and two little children, as I believe, and go west. General Washington asked him to take his tract of 600 acres in the north western part of Fayette County, Pa., lying on the Youghiogheny river. He went and looked at the land, but thought it too much exposed to incursions from the Indians, and continued his journey about fifty miles southwest into Green county, and bought out the McClungs, who took their slaves and went to Kentucky, as Pennsylvania had in 1780 passed an ordinance of gradual emancipation. There my grandfather lived and reared a family of ten children and died at the age of eighty-two. There my father, Thomas Morrison, was born and reared."	Morrison, Robert (I1088)
977	From Thayer and Burton Ancestry, p. 16: ALICE ((???)), his wife, was probably born in England and came to this country early in its settlement. They were married at Providence about 1645. Her economy appears from the fact that when her husband died there were found "1,000 pins" among the household goods, and, at her death, a year later, the same 1,000 pins were a part of the inventory of her estate. Apparently not one had been lost. She died at Providence in 1695.	Ashton, Alice (I3347)
978	From Thayer and Burton Ancestry, p. 26: GREGORY BELCHER came from England to this country in 1634, and first settled at Boston, Mass. He soon after removed to Braintree, where, about 1640, he assisted in founding the first church. He afterwards owned the land where the first iron foundry was located in America in 1640. His wife, who probably came from England with him, was Catherine ((???)). He died in Braintree, November 25, 1674. She died in 1680, or soon after.	Belcher, Gregory (I3372)
979	From Thayer and Burton Ancestry, p. 56: MATTHEW IRONS, one of the early settlers of New England, came to this country about 1630, and was admitted to the Boston church, April 20, 1634. He was at that time in the employ of William Colborn. In 1636, he was admitted freeman, but being a supporter of Wheelwright he was disarmed in 1637. He was not exiled, however, as were Wheelwright's more prominent sympathizers. In 1657, he petitioned the General Court to remit a fine of ¶5 imposed upon him "for suffering a man to be drunk and not sending for a constable as the law requires." His petition was refused. His wife was Ann ((???)). Both probably died at Boston. By his will, dated January 30, 1661, he gave his fowling piece to one son, and his musket and sword to another.	Irons, Matthew (I4124)
980	From Yesterday's Roots, Today's Branches by Pauline Pendleton Wall: A third daughter, Catherine, married John Taylor, brother of Mary Taylor, wife of her brother, Henry. Her son, "John Taylor of Caroline, U.S.S.", was well known. Even more notable is the fact that she became the ancestor of five presidents: James Madison, Zachary Taylor, William Henry Harrison, Benjamin Harrison and John Tyler.	Pendleton, Catherine (I3702)
981	From Yesterday's Roots, Today's Branches by Pauline Pendleton Wall: George, Gentleman, born ca 1558, at Manchester, married Elizabeth Pettingale (Pettingall), daughter of John Pettingale, gentleman, of Norwich, at St. Peters on July 29, 1579. A Coat of Arms was registered to them. It is described as follows: ARMS: Gules, an inescrutcheon argent between four escallops in saltire or. CREST: On a chapeau gules, turned up ermine demi-dragon wings endorsed or, holding an escallop argent. SLOGAN: Maneo Qualis Manebam which means "Staying just as I am." The use of the escallops and the cardinal's chapeau in the crest indicated a connection with the crusader tradition	Pendleton, George (I3877)
982	From Yesterday's Roots, Today's Branches by Pauline Pendleton Wall: Henry Jr., married a relative, Elizabeth Pettus. Their two sons, Nathaniel and Philip, are the first two Pendleton's of our lineage to emigrate to America. They left their parents in England and sailed for America in 1674. They were young men of appreciable education since one was to be a clergyman and the other a teacher.	Pendleton, Henry (I3697)
983	From Yesterday's Roots, Today's Branches by Pauline Pendleton Wall: Henry married Susan Camden of London in 1605. She was the daughter of Humphrey and Cecily (Pettus) Camden and granddaughter of Thomas Pettus, Mayor of Norwich. They were members of an opulent family.	Pendleton, Henry (I3719)
984	From Yesterday's Roots, Today's Branches by Pauline Pendleton Wall: John was the second son of the immigrant, Philip, and born ca 1691. He emigrated with his younger brother, also names Philip, to Amherst County, Virginia, and settled on the eastern slope of Tobacco Row Mountain. A few years later John married a Miss ? Tinsley, of Madison county, Virginia. According to the LDS records at Salt Lake City, Utah, her name was Mary, the same as the wife of his grandson, Richard, the Rev. War veteran. He continued to live in Madison County until his death about the time of the Revolution (1775). He was buried in the old Pendleton burying ground, near "Tobacco Row".	Pendleton, John (I3801)
985	From Yesterday's Roots, Today's Branches by Pauline Pendleton Wall: Not much is known about John's children. We do know that there was Reuben and William, who was born ca 1735 or earlier. In a will made by William and dated January 2, 1774, and probated November 1, 1779, he names his wife and children. At this time, this son describes himself as a planter of the county and parish of Amherst. From other records we learn that he married Elizabeth Fargeson, daughter of Benjamin and Sarah Fargeson. John's death occurred in Culpepper County 1772. William and Elizabeth's children were Benjamin, James, Edmund, Richard, Mary, John, Reuben, William, Sarah, Franky (Frances) Isaac, Betta and Margaret. Three of the sons emigrated to Kentucky after the Rev. War. The wife and two children of one of them were captured by the Indians and never heard of again. Edmund emigrated to Tennessee. Benjamin went to Missouri and had a son named Edmund who moved to Texas. Reuben married Ann Garland of Amherst Co., Va.	Pendleton, William (I3824)

CORBIN
ARMS: Sable on a chief or, three revens, ppr.
MOTTO: Provitas Verus, Honos.
As early as 1154 to 1161, one Robert Corbin gave lands to the Abbey of Ealesworth. From Robert are traced ten generations to Nicholas Corbin, seized of Hall End, and lands in the County of Warwick, etc.
Four generations after this is "Thomas Corbin of Hall End afors'd, born 24 May, 1594, died June, 1637; bur'd at Kingswinford." Thomas married 1620, Winifred,
daughter of Gowen Grosvenor, of Sutton Colfield, County Warwick, England.
COLONEL HENRY CORBIN, third son of Thomas and Winifred Corbin, born 1629, died in Virginia January 8, 1675. He was the progenitor of the Corbins in America, emigrating about 1654, and locating first in the parish of Stratton Major, in King and Queen County. Afterwards he had lands in Lancaster, Westmoreland, Middlesex, etc., as the ensuing will show. He was Burgess from Lancaster 1658, 1659, and 1660; one of the Council 1663, and Justice of Middlesex 1673, after which he was seated at "Pecatone" in Westmoreland County, patents for which were dated March 26, 1664. This estate was of such proportions that its gardens, with orange trees, etc., were quoted in books of travel of that day.
He married, July 25, 1645. Alice, a daughter of Richard Eltonhead, of Eltonhead, County Lancaster, England, and the widow of Roland Burnham. After the death of Henry Corbin, she married third, Captain Henry Creek, who died at the home of Colonel Richard Lee, in August, 1684. Henry and Alice Corbin had issue:
Henry, died young: Thomas, lived in England unmarried, and his brother Gawin, in Virginia, inherited his lands; GAWIN; Laetitia, married RICHARD LEE, of Mount Pleasant, adjoining his father's estate; Alice, married Philip Lightfoot; Winifred, married Le Roy Griffin; Anne, married William Tayloe, and Frances married Governor Edmund Jennings of Virginia.
GAWIN CORBIN, married first Catherine Wormeley, but had no issue; married second, Jane (widow Wilson), and daughter of John Lane, of Laneville, Middlesex County, where in 1705 he was Naval Officer of the Rappahannock, afterwards Burgess, and later of the Council, and its President. Issue:
Richard, married Elizabeth Tayloe of Mount Airy; John, married Laetitia Lee (daughter of Richard); GAWIN II.; Joanna, married Major Robert Tucker; Jenny, married COLONEL JOHN BUSHROD of "Bushfield"; Alice, married Benjamin Needler; Ann, married Isaac Allerton, grandson of the Mayflower immigrant.
GAWIN CORBIN II., son of Gawin and Jane (Lane) Corbin, was Burgess 1720 to 1722, and Councillor 1740. He married Hannah (born 1701), the daughter of HON. THOMAS LEE, President of the Council, and his wife Hannah Ludwell. Their daughter, Jenny, married COLONEL JOHN BUSHROD; their daughter
Hannah Bushrod, married JOHN AUGUSTINE WASHINGTON, whose daughter Jane (or Jenny, named for her Corbin grandmother), married her cousin, WILLIAM AUGUSTINE WASHINGTON.

From Genealogical and Historical Notes on Culpeper Co., VA:
HENRY PENDLETON, eldest son of Philip Pendleton, the emigrant, and Isabella Hart or Hurt, was born in 1683. He m. in 1701, Mary Taylor, dau. of James Taylor, of Carlisle, Eng.. and his 2nd. wife Mary Gregory. Henry was 18 and Mary 13 years of age. He died in 1721, the same year his youngest son, Edmund, was born. His wife m. 2nd. Ed. Watkyns and died 1770. Of his five sons, the oldest, James, and the third, Nathaniel, were for many years Clerks of the Vestry and Lay readers at the small chapels of St. Mark's Parish; and Philip, the son of James, was Clerk in 1782, when the Vestry books closed. His two daughters married brothers, James and William Henry Gaines. His youngest son, Edmund, though without a father's care, made for himself a name which will be known and remembered as long as Virginia's sons read her history. By his large circle of nephews and nieces, many of them his own age, he was loved and revered, and the tradition of his kindness and ever ready help is handed down through nearly every branch of the family. Almost all the Pendletons of Virginia trace their descent to Henry Pendleton and Mary Taylor.
From Yesterday's Roots, Today's Branches by Pauline Pendleton Wall:
Henry, the eldest child, was born ca 1683, in Virginia. He married first Mary Taylor, daughter of James Taylor of Carlisle, England in 1701, in Caroline County, Virginia. He was only 18 years old at the time and she was 13. After Mary's death, he married Mary Gregory. As a coincidence, he died in the year 1721, the same year as his father, Philip, death and year his youngest son, Edmund, was born. His widow married second Ed Watkins. Then Mary Gregory Pendleton Watkins died in 1770. A number of his offspring, as well as some children of his brothers and sisters, were quite prestigious in life and the history of our country. The great majority of Pendleton in Virginia trace their ancestry through him and his first wife, Mary Taylor. The first and third sons, James and Nathaniel, were for many years clerks of the vestry and lay readers at the small chapels of St. Marks Parish of Virginia. James was still clerk in 1782 when the vestry books were closed. His youngest son, Edmund, without his father's care, made for himself a name which is known and will be remembered as long as Virginia's inhabitants read her history.

Pendleton, Henry (I3674)

958

From Genealogical and Historical Notes on Culpeper County, VA:
The first of the name of Pendleton who came to the Colony of Virginia to make their home (in 1674) were two young men, Philip Pendleton, a teacher, and Nathaniel, his brother, a clergyman. The latter died very soon, unmarried; he evidently held no clerical charge in the Colony, as his name has never been given among the lists of the clergy of that time. Philip returned to England about 1680; tradition says he married a lady of high social position, but she died, and he returned to the Colony, and in 1682 married Isabella Hurt (or Hert or Hart,) and from this marriage are descended all the Pendletons of Virginia. Philip was born in Norwich, England, in 1650, son of Henry Pendleton, 3rd son of Henry Pendleton, son and heir of George Pendleton, Gentleman, who married Elizabeth Pettingall dau. of John Pettingall, Gentleman of Norwich, Eng. George Pendleton moved from Manchester to Norwich in 1613. His son and heir, Henry, probably married Susan(???) because in Vol. 48 of the New England Hist. and Gen. Register, is found a copy of the will of Sir John Pettus, Knight, of Norwich, Jan. 1613, which says: "Appoint my cousin, Henry Pendleton, Supravisor of my estate." Also Thomas Pettus, of Caistree, St. Edmond's Norfolk, Oct. 1618. "To my Cousins, Henry Pendleton and Susan, his wife, annuity out of my houses &c. in Norwich." This family of Pettus is the same as the one in Va. The Pendletons were originally from Manchester, where the name was well known, some of them being in public life as early as the reign of Henry VIII. The Coat of Arms used by the Pendletons of Norwich and by the emigrant, Philip, indicate by the presence of Escallop shells and by the Cardinal's chapeau, in the Crest, a connection with Crusader traditions. The New England Pendletons, descendants of Brian Pendleton, came from Lancaster, and show a different Coat of Arms. Philip Pendleton is said to have settled in New Kent Co., but there is no record of the family on the Register of St. Peter's Parish; he probably lived always in the portion called afterwards Caroline county. the records of which were burnt during the war of '61-65. Most of his descendants settled in counties to the north of New Kent. He died in 1721, the same year his oldest son Henry died, and the same year his grandson, the eminent Judge Edmund Pendleton, was born. He had three sons and four daughters, two of his family married into the family of James Taylor, of Carlisle, Eng., and by other intermarriages, a close connection with the Taylor family has been preserved. Some of his descendants were among the founders of St Mark's Parish.
From Prominent Men of West Virginia, p. 341:
Philip Pendleton was married to Isabella Hurt in 1682, and their descendants by inter-marriage became connected with the most prominent families of Virginia, and by force of character and will, took prominent places in the history of that Commonwealth.
The family traces its descent from Henry Pendleton, of Norwich, England, one of whose sons emigrated to the colony and settled in that portion of New Kent which now forms Caroline county, about the year 1674.
From Yesterday's Roots, Today's Branches by Pauline Pendleton Wall:
Phillip was born Mar 26, 1654 and was baptized Apr. 2, 1654, at St. Peters in Mancroft of Norwich, England. He became the founder of the Pendleton family in Virginia. He was twenty years old in 1674 when he arrived with a five-year contract to fulfill. Since he was referred to as a teacher earlier, he was likely a tutor for some family at the colony. He planned to return to England when it was finished. Since his grandfather (great-grandfather) was Mayor of Norwich and also Counselor for the Province of Virginia, that may have been the influence which caused Nathaniel and Philip to come to America. Philip lived first in Rappahannock County, later moved to Essex, then to King and Queen County. Philip completed his term of contract as agreed and returned to England. Tradition say he married a lady of high position but she died within the year and his father, Henry Jr., died in 1682. He returned to Virginia that same year.
In 1682, not long after Philip's arrival back in the colony, he married Isabella Hurt (sometimes spelled Hert or Hart). It is from this marriage that all the early Pendleton's are descended. A lot of early records were burned in the war of 1861-1865, and others have deteriorated from lack of proper care, but enough have survived to give us a fair glimpse of the trail of this family. Philip was living in King and Queen County in 1687. Evidence of this is that he signed a deed in Essex County that year and gave his residence as King and Queen County, Virginia. His eldest son, Henry, also signed a deed in Essex County in 1719, using the same location of address as his father. It is interesting that the name of Philip Pendleton is on the "Registry of Virginia Gentry Entitled to Coat Armor." He used the emblem described earlier in this writing.

From Genealogical and Personal Memoirs of Worchester County, Vol 2, p. 64:
John Whipple (1), the immigrant ancestor of Horace P. Whipple, of Whitinsville, Massachusetts, was born in England, 1617. He was a house carpenter and was employed by Mr. Stoughton in Dorchester, Massachusetts, in 1632. His house was near what is now called Neponset. He removed to Ipswich and became a proprietor of that town in 1638. His brother, Matthew Whipple, also settled at Ipswich and was the ancestor of many Essex county and New Hampshire families. John Whipple returned to Dorchester and was a freeman and deputy to the general court, May 13, 1640. He was one of the court's commissioners of valuation in 1640. He was engaged in trade with William Paine and others in 1647. He had the rank of cornet in the military service. He was a town officer of Dorchester. He and his wife joined the Dorchester church, in 1641. He sold his house and lot at Dorchester, in 1658, to James Minot, and removed to Providence, Rhode Island, but he returned again to Ipswich and sold land there May 31, 1673. He was recorded as a purchaser July 27, 1659, at Providence, and drew lot 45 as proprietor February 19, 1665. He took the oath of allegiance in 1666. He was a deputy from Providence to the general assembly in 1666-69-70-72-74-76-77. He was licensed to keep a tavern at Providence in 1674. He was treasurer of the town from 1668 to 1683; town clerk 1670-71-72-76-77-81-82-83. He was in the Providence town council in 1669. He was virtually a resident of Providence after 1659. He refused to abandon his home during King Philip's war and was one of those entitled to the Indian prisoners, who were sold for a term of years to the planters. John Whipple died May 16, 1685, at Providence, aged about sixty-eight years, according to his gravestone there.
From Bassett-Preston Ancestors, p. 318:
CAPTAIN JOHN1 WHIPPLE was born in England, 1616, and came to Dorchester, Mass., where he received a grant of land in 1637. He married, in 1639, in Dorchester, Sarah (???), who was born, 1624. He and his wife were received in the Dorchester church, 1641. Six sons and two daughters were born in Dorchester.
In 1658 he removed to Providence, R. I., and two sons and one daughter were born there. He was town clerk, 1670, and for several years; town treasurer, 1668-1683; deputy to Rhode Island General Assembly, 1666-1677. In 1674 he received a license to keep a public house, and an inn license was granted, 1680, and he became one of the three most conspicuous inn holders of the century. Whipple Inn was a favorite place of meeting for the town council. In 1690 the October session of the Rhode Island General Assembly met there. He took the oath of allegiance to Charles II, 1666; served in King Philip's War, 1675; was one of the defenders of Providence when it was attacked by the Indians. A "house carpenter." His wife died, 1666, and he died May 16, 1685. They were at first buried in a lot near their home, but were later removed to the North Burying Place, Providence. He mentioned in his will all his eleven children; his will, dated May 8, 1682, was probated May 27, 1685. He was one "who staid and went not away," in 1676, so he had a share in the Indian captives whose services were sold for a term of years.
Genealogy of the Whipple-Wright, Wager, Ward-Pell, McLean-Burnet Families, p. 11:
Captain John Whipple, (Emigrant Ancestor), one of the early settlers of Providence, R. I., was born in England, 1617, and died May 16, 1685. What part of England he came from is not known. In 1637, he received a grant of land at Dorchester Neck. He married Sarah (???) at Dorchester, Mass., in 1639, and they united with the church at that place in 1641. Her maiden name is not known. He was a house carpenter by trade and owned a house and fifty acres of land near Neponset village. He lived at Dorchester about eighteen years and during that time, there were born unto him six sons and two daughters.
He sold his house and land to James Minot in 1658, and removed to Rhode Island, settling at Providence. He had two sons and one daughter born at Providence, making in all eleven children. In 1660 he received a grant of land in Louisquisset. He also owned land in several other places as mentioned in his will. February 19, 1665, he had Lot 45 in the division of lands. May 31, 1666, he took the oath of allegiance to King Charles II, as did also his oldest son John. He was a member of the town council of Providence, in 1669; town clerk, 1670-2, 1676-7, 1681-3; and deputy to the Rhode Island General Assembly, 1666-9-70-2-4-6-7.
In the year 1675, John Whipple was one among twenty-five others who voted at a town meeting to stay at Providence, instead of going to Newport, in the time of King Philip's War. Most of the inhabitants of the town availed themselves of the offer made them by their friends at Newport, and the town was nearly deserted. In 1676, Providence was attacked by Indians; many homes were burned and much damage done to the inhabitants. It is evident that he had to bear his part of the calamity. In 1679 he was appointed by the R. I. Colonial Assembly on a committee to give an account of the late war with the Indians, and make returns to the Assembly. March 2, 1680, an inn license was granted him, and he is quoted as being one of the three most conspicuous inn holders of the century. From the staid and sober character of the Whipple Inn, as well as from its central location, it became the favorite place of meeting for the town council and court of probate. In 1690, the October Session of the Rhode Island General Assembly met at the Whipple Inn.
Captain Whipple lived in Providence about twenty-six years; during this period he experienced many hardships and privations, such as attend the first settlers of a new country; but among the many losses he had to meet, there could be none greater than the loss of his wife, who died in 1666, living with him only about seven years after they located at Providence, and leaving in his care a family of several small children, the youngest an infant. He died May 16, 1685, and with his wife was buried in a garden lot near the house. After several years, they with others of the family were reinterred at the North Burying Place. The following are the inscriptions on their tombstones:
In Memory of
CAPT. JOHN WHIPPLE,
Who was Born in England and Died in Providencetown,
the 16th day of May, A. D. 1685.
About 68 Years of Age.
In Memory of
MRS. SARAH WHIPPLE,
Wife of Capt. John Whipple,
She was Born in Dorchester, in New England,
and Died in Providence, A. D. 1666.
Aged about 42 years.
The will of Captain John Whipple was proved the 27th day of May 1685. His son Joseph was the Executor. This will is printed in full on pages 28 to 31 in Genealogical Notes of the Whipple-Hill families by John Whipple Hill, published in 1897.
In the history of Providence County (1891) and in the R. I. Historical Society there is considerable information about Captain John Whipple, and his descendants. The oldest dwelling in the city is the Whipple house, North Main St., No. 369. It dates back more than two centuries. When the town of Providence was burned by the Indians this building was spared, as the Indians revered the structure because Roger Williams and his followers had worshiped there. Roger Williams and John Whipple are frequently mentioned as holding town offices in Providence.

From Genealogical and Personal Memoirs of Worchester County, Vol. 2, p. 64:
Eleazer Whipple, son of John Whipple (1), was baptized at Dorchester, Massachusetts, March 8, 1746, and was born probably within a month of that date. He was also a carpenter or housewright. He was a soldier in King Philip's war and was wounded. The town of Providence paid six pounds "for curing" him of his wound. He took the oath of allegiance in 1667. He was deputy to the general assembly in 1693 and 1701. He distributed his estate largely before his death. He deeded land to his sons Job and Eleazer, January 1, 1714. Later he gave the homestead to James, provided he pay legacies of fifty pounds each to his brother Daniel and his sister Elizabeth. His sons Eleazer, James and Job, all of Providence, deeded to brother Daniel, of Wrentham, certain lands. He died November 9, 1719, and his widow Alice and son James administered the estate. He married, January 26, 1669, Alice Angell, born 1649, died August 13, 1743, daughter of Thomas and Alice Angell, of Rhode Island. Alice, widow of Eleazer, made her home at Smithfield. She resigned as administratrix of the estate January 22, 1733. The children: Eleazer, Jr.; Abel, born at Providence, June 3, 1675; Margaret; Elizabeth, born 1680; Job, born 1684; James, born 1686; Daniel, see forward.

John Spottiswoode, second son of William Spottiswoode, of that ilk, was born 1509, and, though young at his father's death, had a liberal education, and passed his course at the College of Glasgow, where he took his degrees of Master of Arts, and Doctor of Divinity. He was a man of great learning and piety. Theology having been his chief study, he became a great ornament to the church of Scotland. See Spotswood's 'Church History', etc. He took great pains in promoting the interest of the reformation. He married Beatrix, daughter of Patrick Crichton, by whom he had two sons and one daughter: 1, John, his heir, afterwards archbishop of St. Andrews: 2, Doctor James, of whom, immediately. His only daughter married .... Tennant, of Lynch House, in East Lothian.

This daughter Jean was married to William Hay of Barra, an honorable cadet of the illustrious house of Tweedale, of whom the Hays of Rauna Alderglowns, etc., are descended. This William was a man of great bravery: he accompanied king James IV to England, in his unfortunate expedition at the battle of Flodden, 1513. He was succeeded by his eldest son.

He lived in Providence until 1692, on the estate left him by his father, when he bought land in the ancient limits of Rehoboth, now Cumberland, R. I. Rev. William Blackstone, one of the earliest settlers of Rhode Island, erected his study on a hill, and called the place "Study Hill", which name it still bears. The "Hill" at his death fell to his only son John, who deeded it to David Whipple. This deed is now in possession of the Historical Society at Providence. David Whipple, at the time of his death, was an ensign. His will is dated March 24, 1709, and proved January 8, 1711; his wife Hannah being the executrix.

He, with his brother Jonathan, took the oath of allegiance to King Charles II, in May, 1682. He was a colonel of the Providence militia; was one of the town councilmen for twelve years, most of the time from 1715 to 1729; and representative to the general assembly for nineteen years, between 1698 and 1728. In 1723, he gave one hundred pounds toward building an Episcopal church on North Main Street, in Providence, it being the largest amount given by any one of those who contributed to its erection. He gave the use of a lot of land at the north end of Benefit Street to build a schoolhouse on, and it was called "Whipple Hall".

From Les Seigneurs de Bohon by Jean LeMelletier, Coutances: Arnaud-Bellee, 1978:
Milo of Gloucester (Milon, Miles Fitz Walter) inherited the title of constable of England and later that of earl of Hereford. He was the grandson of Roger de Pitres, contemporary of William the Conqueror and sheriff of Gloucester, and the son of Walter (Gautier), constable of Henry I. Milo possessed a considerable honor from the inheritance of his father's lands in Gloucestershire and his marriage in 1121 to Sybyl, sole heiress of Bernard de Newmarch. Milo died of a hunting accident on 25 December 1143, leaving four sons: Roger, who died childless in 1155; Walter, Henry, and Mahel, who all died childless before 1166. His inheritance was split among his daughters: Margery; Bertha, who married Philip de Brause; and Lucy. Instigated his son in law Humphrey de Bohun III to rally with Mathilda and defend Trowbridge against King Steven.

From Memoirs of the Leonard, Thompson and Haskeel Families, p. 214:
Francis Billington, 1608-1684, soon after his landing from the Mayflower, saw from the top of a tall tree a large sheet of water which he thought was the sea, and so reported it. On January 8, 1621, one of the master-mates of the Mayflower took a musket and went with Francis to find the sea he had discovered, which is now called Billington Sea and consists of two beautiful fresh water lakes near Plymouth. Some contend that the mate would not have gone with Francis alone, who was a mere boy, and that probably the father, John, went along. In 1634, Francis, then twenty-six years old, married Christian Penn Eaton and the pair had eight children, most of whom they were obliged to "bind out;" their financial struggle doubtless increased by the ostracism and infamy surrounding the family. One son, Joseph, was placed with John Cooke, and on account of frequent absences at which his parents were supposed to have connived, the court ordered that in case of future truancies both parents should sit in the stocks on lecture days. In later life we find Francis serving on committees and boards of reference which suggest that he had redeemed his standing in the community and Goodwin who speaks coldly of the Billingtons yet has the justice to add that "some of their descendants became worthy members of society." Francis left land to his daughter Martha, who married first, Samuel Eaton, and second, Robert Crossman, of a prominent family.

Francis lived at Plymouth until 1699, when he moved to Middleboro and occupied land granted to him as one of the "First Comers." He lived there until his death, except for a few years during King Philip's War when he fled to Plymouth for safety.

In his old age, Francis was dependent on his son Issac for support and died intestate.

Francis' birth dates come from two conflicting sources of information. In 1650, the Lincolnshire survey of crown lands determined that Francis Billington of New England, a secondary lessee, was "aged forty years or thereabouts" in the previous year, thereby setting his birth ca. 1609. In 1674, Francis Billington disposed that he was aged 68.

Billington, Francis (I2424)

From Memoirs of the Leonard, Thompson and Haskell Families, p. 226:
Christian Penn, who arrived on the Anne in 1623, was one of the few single women who came on the Pilgrim ships, the females on these being mostly either married women, or adolescent children. Perhaps Christian knew when she came that she was soon to become the third wife of Francis Eaton. It looks as though her marriage to him had been arranged beforehand by letter. Her elderly husband did not long survive his third marriage and his young widow was married in 1634 to Francis Billington. This was probably a love-match, otherwise Christian would not have been willing to become a member of the disgraced and ostracised Billington family. Sorrows thickened around this pair who had eight children they could not support. That Christian should have been obliged to see her children "bound out" into unsympathetic families must have been an overwhelming trial.

Penn, Christian (I2427)

969

From New England Families Genealogical and Memorial: Third Series, Volume IV, p. 1853:
ANGELL The origina of Angell as a surname is uncertain. Some authorities claim that it is derived from Angel, a town in France, and some claim it is from the Greek word meaning "messenger." In very ancient times it was used in connection with the Christian name, as a descriptive term applied to character, and later to show that the family was of extraordinary beauty. In the Byzantine Empire in 1185, Konstantinos Angelos was a young man of noble family who received his name for that reason.
Thomas Angell, the immigrant ancestor, was born in England about 1618. There is a tradition that he was the son of Henry Angell, of Liverpool, England, and that at the age of twelve he went to London to seek his fortune. In 1631 he came with Roger Williams, in the ship, "Lion," from London to Boston, and he was then regarded as a servant or apprentice of Williams. He went with Williams to Salem, remaining until 1636. He removed with him to Providence, Rhode Island, and had granted him the lot fronting on North Main street where now the First Baptist Church, the High School house and Angell street are situated. In 1652 and 1653 he was elected a commissioner, and in 1655, constable, which office he held for many years. He was as were all the inhabitants of Providence of that day a farmer. His will was dated May 3, 1685, and proved September 18, 1685. He was about seventy-six years old at the time of his death. He married Alice (???), whose will is dated October 2, 1694, and proved the January following. Children: John, mentioned below; James, married Abigail Dexter; Amphillis, married Edward Smith; Mary, married Richard Arnold; Deborah, married Richard Seabury; Alice, married Eleazer Whipple; Margaret, married Jonathan Whipple.
From Thayer and Burton Ancestry, p. 15:
THOMAS ANGELL, the early companion of Roger Williams and the first of the family name to settle in Rhode Island, was the son of Henry Angell, of Liverpool, England, and came to this country in the ship "Lyon," from Bristol, arriving at Boston in December, 1630. He first settled at Salem, but in 1636, with four others, came with Roger Williams to Providence, R. I., arriving there earlier than July. The previous winter had been spent at Seekonk. He was then a young lad living in the family of Roger Williams, whose only companion he was in that first memorable trip up the Providence river in a canoe. The next year, although still a minor, he signed the famous civil compact with twelve others.
In 1656-7 a Massachusetts officer came to Pawtucket, arrested a man and attempted to return with him to Boston. The Providence authorities, hearing of it, sent Constable Thomas Angell, with others, one of whom was John Sayles, to rescue the prisoner. They found the Massachusetts officer at a house where he was to remain over night. The officer thus relates the occurrence: "About 10 o'clock comes in Thomas Angell, the constable of Providence, and a sergeant with four men more for to apprehend my body and Richard Chasmor, who was then our prisoner." The matter was argued at some length, with the result that the prisoner was finally released.
At the close of the King Philip war Thomas Angell was on the committee that recommended the conditions under which the Indian captives were disposed of by the towns. They were required to serve those plucky inhabitants of Providence and Warwick who, upon being invited to seek shelter on the island of Rhode Island, "stayed and went not away." Besides being constable, he served as town clerk, juryman and commissioner.
In 1694 he died, first making careful provisions in his will for his widow's welfare. Among other things, he stipulated that his son, James, should give her another cow, and the "keep of same" when the one given her by his son, John, had "become unfit for milk by age."

Angell, Thomas (I3346)

From New England Families Genealogical and Memorial: Third Series, Volume IV, p. 1853:
John Angell, son of Thomas Angell, was born in Providence, Rhode Island, died there July 27, 1720. For a few years he lived on the Daniel Jenckes farm five miles from Providence, towards Lime Rock, on the Lewisquisit road. He removed to Providence and continued farming. He married, in 1669, Ruth Field, daughter of John Field. He was admitted a freeman, October 16, 1670. Children: Thomas, born March 25, 1672; John; Daniel, born May 2, 1680; Hope, mentioned below; James.

From Pedigree's of Charlemagne's Descendants:
Charlemagne was a man of deep familial piety. As indicated by the epitaphs of his sisters Rothaid and Adelaide, he knew his ancestry in the male line back to his great-great-great-grandfather and probably far more extensively than that. Grandson of Charles Martel and firstborn of Pepin and Bertha, he had two brother, Carloman and Pepin, and four sisters, Gisela, Adelaide, Rothaid, and Gertrude. Although there was ill will on the part of Carloman, Charlemagne named one of his sone for him (it was also the name of Charlemagne's uncle). One son, Pepin, was named for Charlgemagne's father and younger brother (the latter of whom died as a child of six); noe, Charles for his grandfather and himself; one, Theodoric, for a cousin. Three of his daughters, Adelaide, Gisela, and Rothaid, bore the names of his sisters; one, Hildegard, of his wife (her mother); one, Bertha, of his beloved mother; one, Theodrada, of a cousin; and one, Hiltrud, of his aunt. Only seven - Louis, Lothair, Hrotrud, Adaltrud, Drogo, Hugo, and Rothild-of the eighteen were not named for members of his immediate family.
Initially Charlemagne expected a closely knit family alliance by virtue of his marriage to a Lombard princess, one whose sisters was married to his brother and joint king, Carloman, and another to his cousin, Duke Tassilo of Bavaria. But this plan collarpsed when he divorced her. A young cousin, Adalard, disapproved that action so strongly that he denounced it and abandone court for life as a monk. Later, however, the rift was healed and he became an influential adviser to the palace, as indeed so did his half-brothers and sisters, Wala, Bernarius, Gundrada, and Theodrada.
Charlemagne had ten spouses: at least four, more likely five, lawful wives; at least five, possibly six, mistresses; and he had children by all but two of them. There were ultimately eight boys and ten girls. Ten or eleven died before their father. So far as we know, only two of his children had descendant beyond the second or third generation.
About 768, at the age of twenty-six, Charlemagne took as his first spouse a high-born lady named Himiltrud. Einhard says that she was a concubine, but other evidence just as strong, if not stronger, indicates that she was a lawful wife. Certainly the pope considered her such. The child of this union, born about 769, was Pepin. Although described as of handsome face, he was unhappily deformed, a hunchback. Charlemagne loved the boy nonetheless and kept him in the family circle until 792 when Pepin was about twenty-three, but there were difficulties. Both the Byzantine east and the Teutonic west of that day believed that a serious physical defect was an impediment to possession of royal prerogatives. Whether rightly or wrongly, some of the Franks looked upon the child as illegitimate. And, moreover, the marriage and probably conception had occurred before Charlemagne was a sovereign ruler.

Charlemagne (I2367)

972

From Pedigrees of Charlemagne's Descendants:
About a year after the young Charles, Carloman was born (773). For some reason that escapes us, his baptism was delayed. But when it was administered eight years later in Rom by the pope, the name Pepin was bestowed on him despite the existence of his hunchback half-brother who already bore that name. On the next day he was crowned king of Italy, where he spent much of his life, governing with the counsel of Abbot Adalard. He did 8 July 810, leaving his son Bernard as his successor and four young daughters whom Charlemagne reared as his own.

Carloman (I2364)

973

From Pedigrees of Charlemagne's Descendants:
At the same time his brother Carloman (Pepin) was crowned king of Italy, as noted above, Louis was crowned king of Aquitaine, where he spent the first thirty-five years of his life. At Charlemagne's death in 814, he succeeded to the throne. After a troubled reign he died on 20 June 840. Following the birth of an illegitimate daughter (Alpais or Elpheid), he married twice and had four sons and two daughters of those unions.

Louis I The Pious (I3956)

974

From Pedigrees of Charlemagne's Descendants:
Charles, born in 772, was almost immediately recognized as heir apparent to Charlemagne's present and future dominion. He had the indisputable advantage of being born "to the purple," that is after his father became sole and undoubted ruler of the Frankish state. Even so he was not officially crowned until Christmas, 800, in a ceremony overshadowed by his father's reception of the imperial title. Incredible as it seems, it appears that he never married, although he was thirty-nine years old when he died on 4 December 811.

Charles (I3952)

975

From Pedigrees of Charlemagne's Descendants:
Hrotrud as born in 775. More fortunate than her sister, she lived until 6 June 810. When she was only six years old she was betrothed to the Byzantine Emperor Constantine VI, aged eleven, but for some reason the marriage alliance was repudiated by her father in 787. Later she married Count Rorico of Maine and had a child, Louis, who became abbot of the royal monastery of St. Denis.

From Robert Morrison's grandson's (Robert Morrison) autobiography, published in "The Scroll" for April 1897, p. 411:
"Robert Morrison, my grandfather, was of Scotch-Irish parentage. He was born in County Derry, Ireland. The family was of the middle class, neither poor nor rich, and was connected in marriage with the Hamiltons in Scotland. In 1765, when Robert was sixteen years old, with his brothers older than himself, he came to America and settled in Delaware. Some of them emigrated to the Valley of Virginia; one kept on south; another wing went west to Vincennes, Kaskasia and St. Louis.
"After the Revolutionary War, in which Robert had a share as one of the 'blue hen's chickens,' as soldiers from Delaware were called, he concluded to take his young wife, Elizabeth Culbertson, an English woman, and two little children, as I believe, and go west. General Washington asked him to take his tract of 600 acres in the north western part of Fayette County, Pa., lying on the Youghiogheny river. He went and looked at the land, but thought it too much exposed to incursions from the Indians, and continued his journey about fifty miles southwest into Green county, and bought out the McClungs, who took their slaves and went to Kentucky, as Pennsylvania had in 1780 passed an ordinance of gradual emancipation. There my grandfather lived and reared a family of ten children and died at the age of eighty-two. There my father, Thomas Morrison, was born and reared."

Morrison, Robert (I1088)

977

From Thayer and Burton Ancestry, p. 16:
ALICE ((???)), his wife, was probably born in England and came to this country early in its settlement. They were married at Providence about 1645. Her economy appears from the fact that when her husband died there were found "1,000 pins" among the household goods, and, at her death, a year later, the same 1,000 pins were a part of the inventory of her estate. Apparently not one had been lost. She died at Providence in 1695.

From Thayer and Burton Ancestry, p. 26:
GREGORY BELCHER came from England to this country in 1634, and first settled at Boston, Mass. He soon after removed to Braintree, where, about 1640, he assisted in founding the first church. He afterwards owned the land where the first iron foundry was located in America in 1640. His wife, who probably came from England with him, was Catherine ((???)). He died in Braintree, November 25, 1674. She died in 1680, or soon after.

Belcher, Gregory (I3372)

From Thayer and Burton Ancestry, p. 56:
MATTHEW IRONS, one of the early settlers of New England, came to this country about 1630, and was admitted to the Boston church, April 20, 1634. He was at that time in the employ of William Colborn. In 1636, he was admitted freeman, but being a supporter of Wheelwright he was disarmed in 1637. He was not exiled, however, as were Wheelwright's more prominent sympathizers. In 1657, he petitioned the General Court to remit a fine of ¶5 imposed upon him "for suffering a man to be drunk and not sending for a constable as the law requires." His petition was refused. His wife was Ann ((???)). Both probably died at Boston. By his will, dated January 30, 1661, he gave his fowling piece to one son, and his musket and sword to another.
