9355 The case was withdrawn. Greenleaf, Capt. Edmund (I7207)
 
9356 The Columbia Sentinel record says he died at age 60, as opposed to 69 the the VRs have. But based on what appear to be large distances of time between births and baptisms of Joseph & Remember's children, it's possible he was born even earlier making the age 69 at death valid and making him the husband of Mary Darling. Proctor, Capt. Thomas (I41859)
 
9357 The conditions were "provided it do not exceed two hundred acres of upland, and the meadow before it." They also received a parcel of upland "containing about 10 or 12 acres." Cooke, Francis (I10173)
 
9358 The connected history of the Leadbetters can readily be traced back for about four hundred years. The family were long before located in the Northern part of England, and many references in much earlier English records are found concerning individual members of the family. In the Hundred Rolls of early English families, the earliest record of a Leadbetter is of Gounild De Lebete, who lived in Bucks ( Buckingham) in 1248. The Assize Roll of Northumberland, time of Henry III. (1256), duly chronicled a Walter Le Lebete, a descendant of Neyden. In the Subsidy Roll for Lancashire (dated 1332) occurs the names of Rog. Le Ledbeter, Robs. Le Ledebeter, and Henr. Le Ledebetter. The Assize Roll of the Warden Parish in the northwest division of Tynedale Wood records seven Ledebeters, -- Leddbetters, and Leadbetters, previous to 1538. Burke's "Landed Gentry," Earwaker and other English authorities describe the Leadbetters even in those early days as "an old Border family. Leadbetter, Henry (I4866)
 
9359 The Connecticut Death Index lists him as age 74 and widowed at the time of his death, his last wife's name was Ethel, so he never remarried. Rock, Pvt. Louis Ledwick (I5392)
 
9360 The date given by the sources is 1767, but I think it was later (parents marriage date). Chase, Abraham (I13065)
 
9361 The date in the Hampton VRs is "ye 24th of ye 2nd mo 1656". To me that's 24 Apr 1656. Philbrick, Ephraim (I41284)
 
9362 The date is given in the VRs as 14 12mo 1655, Family: Sgt. Henry Neale, Sr. / Hannah Pray (F4332)
 
9363 The date on the mason card appears to have another number after the 2 in his date of death, so perhaps he died later in the month, in the 20s. Find-a-grave has 30 Jun 1919. Chase, Corp. Amos Francis (I13050)
 
9364 The dates appear to be in DD/MM/YYYY format. Source (S1368)
 
9365 The death index states he was born about 1884. Waintrup, Morris A. (I19330)
 
9366 The death record is indexed as 14 Apr 1902, but it does look more like 11 Apr 1900. Marshall, Harriet Young (I31446)
 
9367 The death sources have 17 Dec 1721, but that would be after inventory and probate. Staples, Peter (I2923)

9370 The description says he was 78, but looking at the way he wrote 8s and 3s, I believe it's actually 73. Wooster, Orrin J. (I8151)
 
9371 The entire American fleet was lost. Expedition, the Penobscot (I46285)
 
9372 The father and son could be one and the same. If the father died in 1810, he would be 82, certainly not unreasonable. Kentisbear, Capt. William Perigrine (I19407)
 
9373 The first John Cross (4) in the GDMNH is not this guy, according to Anderson. This is John (7). Cross, John Sr. (I5620)
 
9374 The first known ancestor of this Whitten Family in America was Samuel Whidden. Whidden, Samuel (I4909)
 
9375 The first record of Enoch Hutchins is when he was transported to Maryland prior to June 1652 by William Ayres, a gentleman from Nancemond County, Virginia. Mr. Ayres came to Maryland in May 1651, and it was probably at that time that Enoch arrived. In addition to Enoch, the following persons were transported in 1651/2 by Mr. Ayres: John Partridge, Nicholas Waterman, Owen Martin, William Sivett, Thomas Ford, Thomas Pool, and John Waller. It is probable that these people settled on Maryland's Eastern Shore. Hutchings, Enoch (I251)

9393 The history of this ancient Suffolk family traces its ancestry as a family of Anglo Saxon origin before the year 1100 and appears first in the ancient records in Suffolk. The first BRAGDON to come to America was Arthur. There is much known about Arthur but there is also much that is not known about him. The unknown becomes as important as the known because there is much confusion and contradiction surrounding Arthur. It is said by some that Arthur came on the Hopewell, but the Hopewell is said to have arrived in 1630 by some and 1640 by others. (maybe both). I have found that the Hopewell was part of the Winthrop fleet that sailed in 1630. Arthur's name is not on the passenger list and .to date I haven't found Arthur on any passenger list. Banks says that Arthur came on the Bonaventure in 1634. I have found two Bonaventures and Arthur is not on the passenger list. Banks got his information in 1900 from a person in Boston with the surname Bragdon who could not remember his source. Some have suggested that Arthur may have been a crew member or in the Kings Army and would not be on the list for passengers. Arthur signed some land papers in York in 1636. I have also heard that he was in Essex before coming to York. (Is that Essex Mass. or Essex England?) Downeast Ancestry says that Arthur is the son of Thomas and married Jone GOLD and is from Stratford-Upon-Avon in Warwickshire, England. Records from Stratford-Upon-Avon not only doesn't bear this out but seem to disprove it. There is a "BRAGDEN family there with all the same names and dates for the children but that Arthur2 BRAGDEN(Thomas1) is too old to be our ancestor Arthur. It is that Arthur who married Jone Gold. There is also an Arthur2 BROGDON(Thomas1) there that sold property in 1630. (just
before the Winthrop fleet sailed.) He's mother was Alice. Is he our Arthur or is he Arthur BRAGDEN or is he just who the records say he is, "Arthur BROGDON". There was a BRAGDON shipyard in Scotland from whence the Maine BRADGDONS came (C.E. Banks, History of York Maine, 1931-5, 1967, p 74). Conventional history says that Arthur had three sons, Arthur, Thomas and Samuel. But it is questionable whether Samuel is the son of Arthur or if he came from England a little after Arthur. Saco Valley Settlements and Families, by Ridlon, State Lib. Ridlon states "SAMUEL BRAGDON is said to have come from ENGLAND. He was early settled in York, Me." Samuel refers to a Deacon BRAGDON in his will as his "dear cousin". This leaves us with Thomas and Arthur Jr. and Arthur himself threw us a curve here when he named Thomas in his will as his only son. The only alleged son of Arthur's that withstands the test of time is Thomas. After this the decent becomes clearer.

On Oct 13, 1703, the wife and five children of Arthur were killed by the Indians (Penhallow's Indian Wars.) Some say only the wife and the two youngest were killed, the older children were taken by the Indians.

Sheila Chlotiel: In a deposition Arthur Bragdon states his age which places his birth in 1597 and he was therefore 81 years old when he died. His wife's name was Mary, but there is nothing to suggest her family name or connection . . . it further states Arthur Bragdon left issue three sons. No daughters are known. This article has his signature and states he was undoubtedly a native of Stratford-upon-Avon. The men were butchers, same as followed by John Shakespeare, and Arthur Bragdon must have known the Bard of Avon, for he was 19 years old when Shakespeare died. This statement is made on circumstantial evidence arising on the existence of a Bragdon family living in Shakespeare's parish, whose sons carried the names of Arthur and Thomas as did the York family and the only Bragdon family found in England which bore these Christian names. It is stated that another resident of Stratford was an early emigrant in Maine, settling in the adjoining town of Kittery. At this period business
communication was common between towns in Warwickshire by means of navigation of the Severn, and Bristol was probably the port from which he emigrated.

Arthur is first of record here in 1636 as witness to the sale of property. This land was situated on Bass Cove. This grant was contested by Godfrey as to the extent of its bounds, and arbitrators Richard Vines and Henry Josselyn awarded the case in favor of Bragdon which was confirmed by Godfrey 21 January 1643, making the limits of his land on the NE to the path leading from the Plantation of Christian Point.

Arthur Bragdon on the Jury of Life and Death:
The Jury doeth find Robert Collins guiltie of the acke of Incontinence, not guiltie of the forsement.

Captains Grant and Bragdon are instructed to march to Narridgewock after the enemy, "Taking care that no Hostility be acted by you anywhere eastward of the Kennebeck River, but at Narridgewock, and that nothing be done on that side of the river contrary to the Cessation agreed on with the Penobscot Tribe. You may be very exact in your journal in noting down everything that is worthy of your observation, and send an account of your proceedings." (Letters of Col. Thomas Westbrook)

Arthur had a land grant of 100 acres in York, Maine (Massachusetts Colony).

Other men came here directly from England and founded families which continued the original names in town for three hundred years. Arthur Bragdon, a planter at Bass Cove, presumably furnished food to the fishing fleet.

Beginning with the house of Edward Godrey [Godfrey?], "the first bylt there" (1630), which stood close to shore at high tide on the south side of Meeting House Creek, the earliest houses were built around the shore of the Creek. Colonel Walter Norton's, along side of Godrey's, occupied till 1640 by Governor Hooke; Edward Johnson's to the west of Godrey's; Rowland Young's, Henry Simpson's and Ralph Blaisdell's, farther down near the Market Place; Henry Donnell's near Stage Island; Arthur Bragdon's on the river bank near Bass Cove.

He (Sir Ferdinando Gorges) appointed Thomas Gorges to be the first mayor (1641) of Gorgeana (Agamenticus) as well as the deputy governor of the Province of Maine, and for the first eight aldermen he named "Edward Godrey, gentleman; Roger Garde, George
Puddington, Bartholomew Barnett, Edward Johnson, Arthur Braginton (Bragdon), Henry Simpson, and John Rogers."

A study of the names of the York signers of petitions from 1652 to 1668 in order to determine who were for Gorges and who were for Massachusetts will not easily distinguish the followers from the opponents. Most consistently for Massachusetts were Peter Weare and Capt. Francis Raynes. Among those who signed Peter Weare's letters to help him get out of jail were . . . Arthur Bragdon, Jr., Samuel Bragdon . . .

***

There were six trainbands or companies of militia in the county; the troops of York were under the command of Job Alcock, Lieutenant, and Arthur Bragdon, Ensign.
