Notes.

 

A person named John North, age 20, sailed on the Susan and Ellin to Mass Bay in May 1635. A person named Simon Bird [GMD], age 20, also sailed on the same ship.  This leads to the speculative conclusion that someone named Mary Bird could have accompanied Simon as a younger sister.  This information is confirmed in New England Historic Genealogy Society materials.

 

Note that Mary North was John Searle Jr.’s second wife.  In addition to NEHGS, some of the material here is confirmed in the “Searle Rcord” by Sardis Chapman, 1887, in the Southampton, MA Historical Society Museum and portions found online at http://searlefamily.tripod.com/id5.html

 

Joanna Searle was John Searle’s (1613) sister.  She married William Warriner, an ancestor of Myrtie Bisbee.  The William Warriner history at http://josfamilyhistory.com/htm/nickel/griffin/sheldon/noble/noble-warriner.htm says that Joanna was born in 1614 in Ottery, St. Mary, Devonshire, Eng., the daughter of Thomas and Agnes Searle. John was her younger brother and is believed to have immigrated from Warwick, Eng. around 1634 with his brothers Andrew and Edward along with Joanna.  SEE Bisbee Chart 2.4

 

Sarah Baldwin married John Searle in Springfield, MA in 1639.

 

Joanna Warner's brother was Mark Warner, Sr., b. 1646, see Searle Chart 5.1.

 

One record indicates that Robert McClaflin's last name may have been Claflin or even Mack Clothan.

 

The following information is from an ancestry.com message board:

 

"I just found out that my maternal lineage goes back to that notorious Robert Mack Claflin b. 1639 in Scotland; d. @ Wenham, MA 1690. I printed a Clan map of Scotland from somewhere on the internet, but did not find the name "Claflin" or "MacClaflin". Could someone tell me what part of Scotland Dear ol' Mac came from? I understand that he was a traitor. Also, he wrote a book which is @ the LDS in Salt Lake City. I can go to a local LDS church and find out how to order the book. Once I find the clan then where do I find his Crest? I was told that anyone in MA would know about this man. ha! ha! Any info greatly appreciated.

*********

"robert claflin was not a traitor to the scots, of which he was. he tried to overthrow oliver cromwell, the dictator in england at the time. he was captured and sent to america as an indentured servant for 7 years, then made a member of the town of wenham,ma. i am a direct descendant of him and have only thought of him with honor and pride. i have a claflin geneaology with the complete history of robert and others, one of his descendants,daniel, was a drummer in the revolutionary war.

The Hatfield Attack

 

Robert and Editha also had a daughter Sarah (Thomas’ sister) who married Samuel Kellogg.  Sarah and her infant son Joseph were killed by Indians Sept. 19, 1677 in the attack on Hatfield.  Her son Samuel was taken prisoner by the Indians and carried to Canada; he eventually returned to Colchester, CT., bought land from his brother Nathaniel and married Hannah Dickinson.  

 

While men were out working in the fields, the Indians attacked, burning houses, killing 12 people and capturing 21.  It is likely that Samuel was returned from Canada by Benjamin Waite and Stephen Jennings, two Hatfield men whose wives and children were taken captive.  

 

Waite, an accomlished Indian scout, and Jennings got approved as agents to bargain for the captives, built a canoe and went up Lake George and Lake Champlain in the winter to Quebec City, Canada.  They may have been the first English colonists on Lake Champlain.  They were able to secure the release of 17 captives and returned to New England in May 1678.  A quarter century later, Waite was killed in the Deerfield Massacre that was part of Queen Anne’s War.
