THE CHURCH FAMILY
THE CHURCH FAMILY OF HOLLAND By Mr. Lovering.
Richard' Church b. in England 1608, came to America in the fleet with John Winthrop 1630. He settled in Hartford, Conn., where he was an original proprietor in 1637. In 1660 he moved to Hadley, Mass., where he died Dec. 16, 1667. One writer makes him one of the party that came over in the May- flower. He had married Elizabeth Warren before emigrating to America. By her he had fifteen children. Benjamin Church the Indian fighter and leader in King Philips War was his third child, while Nathaniel was his fifth child. No better material for the pioneer life to which they came could be found anywhere than Richard and Elizabeth (Warren) Church, and they left a posterity hardy and courageous, that has achieved much for their country. The following genealogy is taken in part from John C. Church's admirable book on the genealogy of the Richard Church Family, to which the reader is referred. Benjamin Church who lived in Holland was the fifth generation from Richard Church, which the following plan will indicate for we wish to give only that part that became indentified with Holland's history :- Benjamin5, Charles+, Charles3, Nathaniel2, Richard1. Those who wish to study it further are referred to the above mentioned book. Benjamin3 Church bought the homestead where Alfred Lyon had lived near Reservoir dam, as is proved by a deed bearing date 1806. The deed describes him as a merchant of Newport, R. I. His children were all born before he came to Holland.
