June 20, 1635, there embarked on board the good ship "Philip," Richard Morgan, master, forty-two passengers, who were to be transported from England to Virginia, in America. They had been previously examined by the minister of Graves- end as to their conformity to the orders and discipline of the Church of England and had taken the oath of allegiance.
I. JAMES YORK, SR., was one of the passengers of the good ship "Philip" in 1635, rated therein at the age of 21 years, consequently he was born in the year 1614. It is not known at what place in Virginia Capt. Morgan landed his passengers, or whether he landed them in that colony at all. If they were landed there, our James York did not remain there long. He doubtless soon after his arrival in this country, came north, whether by land or water, we do not know, but the first record we have of him is in Braintree, Mass.
James York, Sr., came to Stonington, Conn., in the year 1660, when this town was under the jurisdiction of Massachusetts, and called by the name of Southertown, and settled on grants of land which then included the present farm of Gideon P. Chesebrough, east of Anguilla or Wequetequock brook, also the farm of Erastus D. Miner and the Simon Rhodes place, now owned by Clark Chapman, and there he built him a dwelling house on the north side of the then Indian path, now known as the old Post road, where he lived the remainder of his life, dying in 1683, aged 69 years. His widow died in 1685.
James York (No. I) m. Joannah the family name of his wife is not known, neither the place of their marriage, but the date thereof must have been about 1637.
CHILDREN:
2 ABIGAIL, b. about 1638 or 1639; she m. John Beebe of New London, Conn; she d. March 9, 1725, aged 86 or 87 years. Their children were John, Benjamin and Rebecca Beebe. Rebecca Beebe married Rich- ard Shaw of Easthampton.
