WEBSTER

The surname Webster is of ancient English origin, being trade name, a colloquial

term for weaver. The most important Eng- lish family of this name claims descent from John Webster who was a resident of Bolsover, Derbyshire, in the reign of Henry IV, and whose descendants are settled in Essex, in which county as well as in Cambridgeshire and Huntingdonshire, Henry IV granted John Webster large estates about 1400. The Scotch family of Webster .. very likely also descended from this John Webster, were in Edinburg- shire before 1700, probably not long before that date, however. There is no other family of this surname in Scotland bearing arms, thoughi descendants are found in other sections of the country. The armorial bearings of the Webster family of Edinburg: Argent a fesse gules between three crosses crosslet fitchee azure. Crest: the sun rising out of the sea proper. Motto, Emergo. Of the American families of the surname Webster, there are two important branches. John Webster who came from Suffolk, England, progenitor of Daniel Webster, is mentioned below. Jolin Webster from Warwickshire, England, settled in Connecticut and was progenitor of the dic- tionary genins, Noalı Webster.

(T) John Webster, immigrant ancestor, was born in England and as early as 1634 was a proprietor and resident of the town of Ips- wich, Massachusetts. He seems to be the same Jolin Webster, baker by trade, who was

admitted an inhabitant of Salem in 1637, who was witness in the Essex court in 1639 and applied for land at the creek in 1642. He married Mary Shatswell, sister of John Shats- well, who remembered her in his will. She married (second) October 29, 1650, John Emery, Sr., of Newbury, and removed with him to Haverhill. He and his son John Emery were appointed guardians of Israel Webster, aged eighteen ; and Nathan Webster, aged six- teen, at their request, November 26, 1662. The family removed to Newbury from Ipswich. Administration was granted to John Webster's widow Mary, November 4, 1646, and later at her desire division was made to the eight minor children ; to the eldest son John the farm, he paying to the youngest son five pounds or a quarter the value of the farm ; Mary, Stephen and Hannah to have equal shares in the island bought of Widow Andrews"; Elizabeth, Abi- gail and Israel to have twenty nobles apiece ; all at twenty-one years of age.
