ELEVENTH GENERATION

1412. William Chesebrough ⁽³⁴⁹²⁾^(20337)^(20338)^(20339)^(20340) was born in 1594 in Boston, co. Lincs, England.⁽³⁴⁹²⁾^(20341)^(20342)^(20343) He emigrated on 29 Mar 1630 from Cowes, England.^(20344)^(20345) He arrived on the "Arbella". He moved from Cowes, England on 14 Jun 1630 to Salem, Essex Co., Massachusetts.^(20346) He took the oath of freeman in May 1631 in Boston, Suffolk Co., Massachusetts.⁽³⁴⁹²⁾^(20347)^(20348) He was a constable in 1634 in Boston, Suffolk Co., Massachusetts.⁽³⁴⁹²⁾^(20349) He was a gunsmith before 1649.^(20350) He was a farmer after 1649 in Stonington, New London Co., Connecticut.^(20351) He died on 9 Jun 1667 in Stonington, New London Co., Connecticut.⁽³⁴⁹²⁾^(20352)^(20353) He was buried in Wequetequock Burying Ground, Stonington, New London Co., Connecticut.⁽³⁴⁹²⁾ He established settlement in Rehoboth, Bristol Co., Massachusetts.^(20354) He established settlement in Stonington, New London Co., Connecticut.^(20355) WILLIAM CHESEBROUGH, the first settler of English lineage in the town of Stonington, Conn. was born in England in the year of our Lord, 1594. The place of his nativity and the names of his parents cannot with certainty be determined. The probabillties are, that he was born in or near Boston, Lincolnshire, where he is known to have had his residence some eleven or twelve years prior to his emigration to America in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, and where he and his wife were communicants in St. Botolph's Church. The home of the CHESEBROUGH family was in the eastern counties of England, and the name occurs in the public registries of Wills in the County of Norfolk, which adjoins Lincolnshire. SARAH CHESEBROUGH BROUGH, whose name stands No. 78 on the roll of the First Church of Boston, Massachusetts, was doubtless a passenger with WILLIAM on the ship ARBELLA, and is thought to have been his mother. His wife, ANNA, and three surviving children of the eight that had been born to him,--the youngest, NATHANIEL, an infant in arms,--came with him in the same company.

The "ARBELLA", a ship of three hundred and fifty tons, whereof Captain Peter Milbourne was master, received its name 'in honour of the Lady Arbella,' wife of Isaac Johnson, Esq., one of the prominent personages among the passengers. This ship was one of a fleet of fourteen vessels with eight hundred and forty passengers, comprising the Massachusetts Bay Colony. It set sail from Cowes, Isle of Wight, on Tuesday, March 30, 1630, and was termed 'Admiral' of the fleet, for the reason partly, that it was the staunchest and best furnished of the vessels, and partly perhaps, as Savage in his notes in Winthrop's Journal suggests, that it was owned by and carried 'the principal people' of the Colony, including Johnson, Winthrop, Coddington, Dudley, Bradstreet and Saltonstall with their respective families among others.

Epitaph on the monument in the ancient burying-ground of Stonington, Connecticut known by the name of "Wequetequock" dedicated on the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the settlement of Stonington by WILLIAM CHESEBROUGH, 1649. It is on a hillside at the head of Wequetequock Cove, a few rods from WILLIAM CHESEBROUGH'S first dwelling-house (about two and one-half miles from the Stonington depot). He and his wife, ANNE, were burried there. "WILLIAM CHESEBROUGH. The first white settler of Stonington. Born in England 1594. Migrated to America in John Winthrop's Company which planted Boston in 1630. After spending a few years in Rehoboth, Massachusetts, he with his wife and four sons in 1649 fixed his permanent home in this, then wilderness, and built his dwelling house not far from this monument. He took a leading part in the organization of the town and conduct of its early affairs. He died June 9, 1667. A bold Pioneer, a wise Organizer, a firm Christian."
