  • Notes 

    • Archelaus, Newbury, nam. Hercules in the report to governm. of passeng. from Southampton in the James of London, embark. 6 Apr. arr. 3 June 1635, and call. mercer of Malford. Perhaps the custom-ho. officers knew more of Hercules than of the other name, tho. both are equal. heathenish, but prob. the sound was not unlike. He was b. 1618; but how entit. mercer, when only a minor, provokes inq. My conject. is, that his elder br. Edward, deserv. that descript. and came in that ship, but it was undesirable to give his name and excite suspic. that he was not authoriz. under the odious orders of the counc. to come to our country. Mr. Coffin wh. says his w. Eliz. d. 17 Dec. 1677, gives no ch. He was made freem. 17 May 1637, was lieut. 1670, rep. 1674 and 5, m. sec. w. 13 Nov. 1678, Dorothy Chapman, and d. 7 Oct. 1702. (Savage 4:640)

      Archelaus, mercer, Newbury, 1637; frm. May 17, 1637, town officer, lieut. His wife Elizabeth d. 17 Dec. 1677. He m. 13 Nov. 1678, Dorothy Chapman. Ch. Sarah, (m. John Brocklebank). He d. 7 Oct. 1702. (source: Pope, Pioneers in Massachusetts, p.513)

      Archelaus Woodman, mercer, was of Newbury, Mass., in 1637, freeman 17 May of that year, town officer and lieutenant 1670, representative to the General Court 1674 and 75. He came over in the James of London from Southampton, embarking. 6 April and arrived 3 June, 1635. In passenger list of same is called Hercules and as of Malford (i.e. Christian Malford, Wilts.,) mercer. He brought wife Elizabeth who died 17 December, 1677 and he married second Dorothy Chapman, 13 November, 1678. He died 7 October, 1702.
