Zachary Bicknell was born about 1590 in Barrington, co. Somerset, England. He died before 9 Mar 1636/37 in Weymouth, Norfolk Co., Massachusetts.

Zachary Bicknell and Agnes his wife sailed from England in the spring of 1635. He was 45 years of age, and his wife 37. The entire family at this time consisted of Zachary, his wife Agnes, their son John (11 yrs. of age) and John Kitchen, a servant, aged 23. This family group formed a part of the company of 106 English emigrants that came with the Rev. Joseph Hull, a forty year old minister, from Somerset and Dorset, and were permitted to settle at Weymouth, MA. Zachary Bicknell died within about a year after his arrival at Weymouth, not, however, until he had built a house and established a home, embracing twenty acres of unfenced land. His widow soon married Richard Rockett (or Rockwood), and the home of the Bicknells was sold to William Reade. His only son and heir, John, lived to produce a large posterity from which most of the Bicknell's in America descend.

He was married to Agnes Lovell about 1623.

Agnes Lovell married second Richard Rockett after 1636.
