14. MR. WILLIAM BELLINGHAM, freeman 12 Oct., 1640, was appointed, 14 June, 1642, to solemnize marriage in Rowley and New- bury (Mass. Col. Rec. 2 : 14). He had a four-acre house lot, registered, 1643; "bounded on the north side by a piece of Comon, part of it lyinge on the East side of the Streete, and part of it on the West side." The larger part of this lot is on the northwest corner of Main and Pleasant Streets and now (1932) owned by John Harris Todd. There is no record of Mr. Bellingham's death but it is probable he died about 1643-4, as his brother, Mr. Richard Bellingham, sometime Colonial Governor, in a suit brought by the latter against Thomas Wood and James Bailey, presented the following to the court: "Mr. Rogers setling his plantation at Rowley betwixt Ipswitch & Newbury were very much straitned, & so forced to buy farmes on both sides, which were paid for mostly by Mr Rogers himselfe, & some principal men yt came over with him, who had considerable Estates, amongst whom Mr William Belling- ham paid about ye 16th part, . . . Mr William Bellingham about nine- teen years ago falling sicke Mr Richard Bellingham his brother was sent for, who hastening thither, found yt he was both dead and buried , afterwards I sent my son Samuel to Rowley, being a youth and under age" (Essex Quar. Ct. R. June, 1662).
