Notes.

 

William Warner's father was Samuel Warner.  William married Abigail Baker in about 1611.  He died in Ipswich, MA in 1648; Abigail died in Ipswich 1 Nov 1659.  John Warner, Sr. settled in Ipswich with his father by about 1637.  In addition to Mark Warner, Sr., John and Priscilla had a daughter Joanna, SEE Searle Chart 2.0.

 

Mark Symonds was a Freeman in Ipswich in 1638, age 54.

 

No listing in the Great Migration Directory for Abigail or Joseph Downing, as they arrived in New England after 1640, but there is GMD information on Joseph's brother Emmanuel.

 

I also note that there is rich history to Richard Montague and Abigail Downing, whose ancestors were well-known religious leaders in England and whose ancestry may trace back to William the Conqueror, although there are questions about whether some of that research is accurate.  More on that to come in other parts of this website.

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.
