THE GRANTEES AND SETTLEMENT OF HAMPTON, N. H.
BY V. C. SANBORN OF KENILWORTH, ILL.
New England genealogy seldom offers insoluble prob- lems. In our more distinguished families there are few members who cannot, with some effort, be connected with "the parent line. This is complicated, in the case of our middle-class families, by removals to distant settlements, and by no special desire on the part of the emigrant to keep in touch with his kindred. But the first migration to New England, breaking off all ties, makes the attempt to prove a connection most difficult,-and yet it is a task worthy the efforts of our best genealogical students.
That little band, the first settlers of Winnicunnet (afterwards called Hampton) was composed of at least two diverging groups. Search must be made in Southern England (Hampshire and Wiltshire) and in Eastern Eng- land (Norfolk and Suffolk) to find the homes of these men. They came from Newbury, Ipswich and Water- town, under the leadership of Stephen Bachiler.
The first authentic record is found in the list of those who presented their petition to the General Court of Massachusetts at that session which began on 6 Septem- ber, 1638.
" The Court grants that the petitioners, Mr. Steven Bachiler, Christo: Hussey, Mary Hussey vidua, Tho : Crumwell, Samuel Skullard, John Osgood, Johu Crosse, Samu: Greenfeild, John Mol- ton, Tho: Molton, Willi: Estow, Willi : Palmer, Willi : Sergant, Richrd Swayne, Willi: Sanders, Robrt Tucke, wth divers others, shall have liberty to begin a plantation at Winnacunnet " &c.1
'Records of the General Court of Massachusetts Bay, vol. I, p. 236. The original petition is not among the Massachusetts Archives, nor any files relating to it. In the Suffolk Court Files, No. 26, ap- pears the following, endorsed "Grant of Hampton ":

The first six grantees were all from the south or west of England. The last ten were probably from Norfolk or Suffolk. The " divers other ", being unnamed, we may not assign, but they probably included others of Bachiler's neighbors or kinsmen, among them being his three Samborne grandchildren. Let us set forth briefly what has been found concerning the sixteen grantees, as to their life here and their English ancestry.
1. STEPHEN BACHILER. An Oxford graduate of St. John's in 1585-6; the disestablished vicar of Wherwell in Hampshire ; and a " notorious inconformist". The main facts about his life have already been printed. He was the founder of Hampton in New England, and the first Pastor of the Hampton chureh.
2. CHRISTOPHER HUSSEY [Christo : Hussey]. He was the most prominent man in early Hampton. Concerning his life in New England there is little to add to Dow's excellent account3, but I question his having had a son Joseph, Deputy to the General Court in 16724. No such son appears in Hussey's will of 16855. Captain Chris- topher Hussey filled nearly every office which the town or province could grant, and I believe the Deputy of 1672
" Memorandu yt at ye Genll conrt holden at Boston, ye 8th mº called October (Ann: 1638) Mr Jnº Winthrop Senr being then governor It was granted vnto Mr Steven Batcheller & his company who were come over vnited together by church covenant yt according to there petition they exhibited they should have a plantation at Winnicon- nett & accord[ing]ly they were shortly after to enter vpon & begin ye same 3rd 7th mº 39 and farther about the same time ye sd planta- tion vpon Batcheller's request made known to ye Court was named Hampton. Vera Copia p me Samuell Dalton Clarke.

This is evidently a copy from the Town Records of Hampton; and may be said to be conclusive as to dates from its evident age-nearly coincident with the grant itself.

was the Captain himself. The Hussey blood still exists6 in Hampton, through the marriages of Christopher Hus- sey's daughters ; but both his sons removed from Hamp- ton. Stephen Hussey went to Nantucket (of which island his father was one of the purchasers from Mayhew in 1659) and became the ancestor of a long line of Hus- seys7. John Hussey went to Newcastle, Delaware, in 1692, and died there in 1707, leaving sons and daugh- terss.
Hussey and his sons were inclined to the Quaker doctrines, though the Captain seems never to have joined that sect definitely. Both sons had been fined for non- attendance at the Hampton church9, and in 1674 Captain Hussey and his son John, with eleven other Hampton men, were admonished for their "breach of the law called Quaker's meeting ".9 In the same year Stephen Hussey was admonished for attending a Quaker's meeting at Boston.10
Christopher Hussey married circa 1630, Theodate, daugh- ter of Stephen Bachiler ; she died " 8th mo : 1648 ", and he married (2) at Hampton, 9 Dec., 1658, Ann, widow of Jeffrey Mingay.11 There is no doubt that Hussey stood
6It may be well here to drive another nail in the misstatement (which Whittier himself accepted, perhaps on the authority of Joshua Coffin) that our New England poet, John Greenleaf Whittier, was descended from Christopher Hussey. Whittier's mother, Abi- gail Hussey, was a descendant of Richard Hussey of Dover. No connection existed between this Richard Hussey and our Captain Christopher.

11 Mingay was probably from Norfolk. At Topcroft, 5 Nov., 1605, " Jeffry Mingaie and Jone Hunt " were married ( Norfolk Marriage Registers, vol. V, p. 113). At Bedingham, 3 Oct., 1623, " Jeffrey Mingay and Grace Hilliard " were married (Norfolk Marriage Reg- isters, vol. IV, p. 137). This latter marriage may be Jeffrey Mingay of Hampton,-Grace Hilliard was perhaps a relation of Emmannel Hilliard, an early Hampton settler. The name of Mingay's widow however, was Ann.

manfully by his father-in-law Bachiler through the Hamp- ton disturbances, and helped to fit him for his return voyage to England in 1654.12
As manfully, Hussey and his nephew John Samborne, stood by Robert Pike in his contest with the Bay oli- garchs in 1653; and, refusing to recant what they had stated in petition, were placed under bonds.13
Hussey's exact age, and the place of his birth, are still undiscovered. There were Husseys in Winchester, and there was a family of the name in Whiteparish, the home of the Pikes and Rolfes.14 It would seem natural that Hussey came from the same part of England as did Bachiler and the Pikes. His relationship to the one, and his long friendship with the other, argue a nearness in origin. But he has been identified with a Christophe Hussey who was baptized at Dorking in Surrey in 1599.15 Dorking is fifty miles northeast of Whiteparish, Win- chester and Wherwell. The parish register of Dorking contains the marriage of John Hussey and Marie Moor (or Wood) on 5 Dec., 1593, and the baptisms of their three children.16
12Depositions of Colcord and Fifield, 8 April, 1673 (Norfolk County Land Records, vol. 2, fo. 437), " when Mr Steven Batcheller was vpon his voyage to England wee did hear him say to his son-in-law Mr Christopher Hussey that in consn the sd Hussey had little or nothing from him wth his danghter wch was then married to the sd Hussey ; and also in consn that the sd Hussey and his wife had been helpful vnto him both formerly and in fitting him for his voyage * * * he did give to the sd Hussey all his estate in household goods and debts, for wch he gave a deed in writing." (Essex Antiquarian, vol. 11, p. 173). 13 Essex Antiquarian, vol. 4, p. 114; Sanborn Genealogy, pp. 31-2.
14 Vide Register, vol. 66, pp. 244-5, 253: also " John Hussey and Jone Thane" were mar. at Whiteparish 22 Nov., 1591 ( Wilts Mar. Reg., vol. 11, p. 4). Will of Henrie Hussey of Whiteparish, P. C. C., 1589 (63 Leicester). Marriage license 30 Jan., 1618-19, " Thomas Hussey of Whiteparish, aged 26, and Mary Moore of Tytherley, co. Southt., aged 25" (Genealogist, n. s. vol. 25, p. 94).
13Farmer's Genealogical Register of the First Settlers of New Eng- land (1829) stated; on the authority of Alonzo Lewis, that Hussey came from Darking [Dorking]. No reference is cited in confirma- tion. This early note of 1829 would be strong affirmative evidence of Hussey's birthplace, if it were not that many of Lewis's state- ments have since been proved erroneous.
16 These dates are from a letter dated 17 Oct., 1894, from C. L. Hussey of Oxford, England, to Miss Hussey of Cornwall, N. Y. In this letter the name of John Hussey's wife is given as " Wood " Miss Sarah Hussey, now deceased, searched the Dorking register; she read the name " Moor".

i. John, baptized 29 April, 1596; buried S Nov., 1597.
ii. Christopher, baptized 1S Feb., 1598-9.
iii. Marie, baptized 31 Jan., 1601-2.
That our Christopher Hussey was born in 1599 seems corroborated by Nathaniel Weare's statement made dur- ing the Masonian troubles in 1685,-he knew Hussey (as one of the sufferers) to he eighty-six years old.17 The record of Hussey's death at Hampton19 is not adverse :-
" Captain Christopher Hussey died the "sxt " day of March 1685-6, being abont 90 years old; entred [interred] the Sth of March, 1685-6.""
Many of the statements as to Hussey's life seem to rest on the authority of Alonzo Lewis, the historian of Lynn. Hussey was said to have settled in Lynn in 1630; but no record is found of his being there before 1632. Hussey was said to have been cast away on the coast of Florida ; Dow shows that this cannot be so. It is said that Bachi- ler refused to consent to the marriage of his daughter Theodate until Hussey agreed to go to New England, where Bachiler was preparing to settle. As no original record vouches for these statements, we must regard them as examples of that crude genealogical guess-work in vogue sixty years ago.
The difficulties attending a search for Hussey's ances- try arise, curiously enough, from a surfeit of Christopher Husseys in England during the seventeenth century. The name is not common, and "Christopher Hussey " seems an unusual combination. Yet no less than six of the name appear.
1. The child baptized at Dorkiog in 1599 (ride supra).
2. A Christopher Hussey was Mayor of Winchester, Hants, in 1609, 161S and 1631. He married (1) at St. Manrice, Winchester, 27 July, 1598, Margaret Emery, probably daughter of Richard Emery, a former mayor; (2) at Winchester Cathedral, 14 Feb., 1608, Amy

Reniger, daughter of Archdeacon Michael Reniger; she was buried at the Cathedral, 20 Oct., 1608. Mayor Christopher Hussey died at Winchester in 1651. His will, dated 18 Dec., 1651, was proved in the Archdeacon's court at Winchester 7 Feb., 1652, by the oath of Christopher Hussey, only child and executor. An abstract follows:
"Danghter in law Mary Hussey. Son Christopher Hussey honse where I live, with lease &c. for life of him and his wife,-then to John Hussey his son. Said John Hussey the garden on south side of my house which I hold of the city: also my honse on the High Street where Will: Oram now lives,-provided that his father and mother shall have it during their lives. Frances Hussey, my grand- child, my silver tankard &c. Margaret Hnssey, my grandchild, 3 silver spoons &c. Mary Hussey, my grandchild, my great charger &c. The poor of St. Maurice, of Compton and of Kingsworthy. Grandson Robert Hussey $5 in hands of Mr. Edmond Rigge, to be kept till he accomplish age of 14 or 16, towards binding him ap- prentice, or else to age of 21. Grandson Christopher Hussey the same. Residue to son Christopher Hussey, Executor." Witness : Edmund Rigge, Katherin Crowch, Patience Wilsheer. "7 Feb., 1651-2: This will was proved in common form before Mr. John Holloway, substitute to the Rt Wpful Robt. Mason, Dr of Lawe & admon. granted to Christopher Hussey, son and sole exr., he hav- ing first taken the oath &c."
When I saw this will at Winchester 22 years ago, I thought our man was certainly found. Two Christopher Husseys, father and son, living within a dozen miles of Bachiler's known home at New- ton Stacey, seemed identification enough. But in 1651 both father and son were living, the latter with a wife Mary and six children ! They may have been connections of our man, but he certainly conld not have been either of them.
3. " Christopherns Hussey et Editha Minson, vid." were mar- ried at Netherbnry, Dorset, 21 June, 1619. (Dorset Marriage Regis- ters, vol, VII, p. 84.)
4. A Christopher Hussey, gent., of St. Martin's-in-the-Fields, Middx.19, died in 1611, and his will was proved at P. C. C. in that year. (84 Wood). An abstract was printed in Essex Institute Coll., vol. 40, p. 298. He was not onr man, and came probably from Wes- toning in Bedfordshire.
5. Sussex (adjoining Surrey on the sonth) had several families of Hussey, whose pedigrees were printed by Berry.20 One of these families, located at Cuckfield, contains a Christopher Hussey, and the data given by Berry is confirmed by the Parish Register of Cuckfield21:
19The printed Registers of St. Martin's-in-the-Fields show the baptism of a Christopher Hussey in 1602, and the burials of two Christopher Husseys, one in 1602 and one in 1607.

6. Christopher Hussey was defendant in the Chancery Bill brought circa 1670 by Thomas Mayhew (Chancery Proc. bef. 1714, Bridges 410/163.) But the parties to this bill (which relates to a shipping business) were neither Thomas Mayhew of Martha's Vine- yard nor our Christopher Hussey of Hampton.

3. MARY HUSSEY, VIDUA. Why she should be the only female grantee is hard to answer. She was perhaps a relative of Captain Christopher Hussey, but no affirma- tive evidence of this has been found. She has been in- geniously worked up into Christopher's mother; and the name of the wife of John Hussey having been trans- formed from Moor to Wood, she has been linked with John Woodin, to whom she conveyed 16 acres of land in Hampton 25 April, 1648.24 All this seems pure surmise, and wild genealogical guessing. In 1650 seats in the Hampton meeting-house were assigned to "ould mistris husse " and to "her dafter busse ".25 Widow Mary Hussey died at Hampton 16 June, 1660, and troubles us no further. It may be noted that " Mary Hussey, widow", appears among the associates of John White in his New England adventure.26 On the list her name is given be- tween the names of two associates living in New England, but she is not specifically so described.
4. THOMAS CROMWELL [Tho : Crumwell]. Here again we are on uncertain ground : but we can at least clear up some misstatements about this pioneer, who was undoubtedly a Newbury man. There was in Newbury a family named Cromlom or Cromwell, all probably related. The town records state that in 1635 Thomas Cromlone and his wife died.27 On 24 Feb., 1638, Thomas Cromwell, with Samuel Scullard, John and Robert Pike, and Nicho- las Holt, was fined for non-attendance at Newbury town meeting.28 6 Aug., 1638, Thomas Cromwell is mentioned on Newbury town records.29 In the division of the New bury ox-common, 12 March, 1641-2, the name of Thomas Cromwell appears, followed by those of Samuel Scullard and Richard Kent, senior.30 On 7 Dec., 1642, Thomas Cromwell appears among the proprietors of Newbury.

This was undoubtedly our Hampton grantee, and he probably died at Newbury in 1645.31 On 29 Sept., 1646 the will of "Thomas Croomwell" was brought in to the Ipswich court to be proved.32 " Giles Croomwell " ob- jected to it, and the court ordered Mr. John Lowle and Mr. Edw: Woodman to take an inventory of the estate. 6 Aug., 1647, the Salem court addressed Mr. Woodman, saying " that the Ipswich court ordered Mr. John Lowle and himself to take into custody the goods of Thomas Cromlom of Newbury deceased that were in the hands of Samuel Scullard, deceased ". Not having done so they are now ordered to answer next court.
Probably this Thomas Croomwell or Cromlom was closely related to Giles Cromlom, who died in Newbury 25 Feb., 1673. It, therefore, behooves us to search the record of Giles. His first wife died at Newbury 14 June, 1648 : her Christian name (not given in the town record) is said in Henry Short's copy, made in 1690, to have been Alice. There may be some confusion here, for Giles married, 10 Sept., 1648, for his second wife, Alice Wiseman.33 But it is worth noting that at Eling in Hamp- shire, on 8 Feb., 1629-30, Giles Cromwell and Alice Weeke were married.34 Eling is just outside Southampton, and very near the Wiltshire parishes whence came the Rolfes and Pikes.$5 The will of Giles Cromwell36 mentions bnt two children-(i) Philip, probably he who settled in Dover and left descendants, and (ii) a daughter bearing the uncommon name Argentine ; she married Benjamin Cram, son of " good old John Cram " of Hampton.

25 A connection or close friendship existed between the Cromwells and the next grantee, Samnel Scullard. It, therefore, becomes im- portant to note that the Hampshire Scullards (ride post) owned lands in Eling.

ton grantee with the privateering Captain Thomas Crom- well, whose remarkable rise to fortune is told by Win- throp,39 and who died in Boston in 1649.40 There is no reason for believing that the Newbury Cromwells or Crom- loms had any connection with the gallant sea captain : nor is there any evidence to connect either with the Salem Cromwells, Philip, Thomas and John, whose ancestry has been traced to Wiltshire
There is no reason to believe that Thomas Cromwell ever lived in Hampton, or had any interest there.

manor of Upper Clatford, Hants, where successive Sam- bornes and their kin were Rectors from 1563 to 1660. It will be noted that a connection existed between these Scullards and Peter Noyes of Andover, probably father of that Peter Noyes who came to New England in 1638, set- tling in Sudbury.43
Samuel Scullard was born circa 1615. He married Re- becca, daughter of Richard Kent, senior, # of Newbury.
Children (all born in Newbury) :-
43For Noyes, vide Register, vol. 32, pp. 407-11; and vol. 47, pp. 71-5. Peter Noyes of Sudbury was a distant cousin of the Noyeses of Newbury.
"The Newbury Kents have never been satisfactorily catalogued. Two passengers named Richard Kent came to New England on the Mary and John in March, 1634 ( Register, vol. 9. p. 267), and both settled in Newbury. Although they were not related, so far as we know, one was called "Senior " and the other "Junior". Both undoubtedly belonged to the Wiltshire and Hampshire group who came under the leadership of Thomas Parker and James and Nich- olas Noyes. It will be remembered that William Noyes, Rector of Cholderton, Wilts, the father of James and Nicholas, had a dangh- ter who married Thomas Kent of Over Wallop, Hants.
