(The Weymouth Line).
The English surname, "Weymouth," originated to designate a native of Wymouth in Dorsetshire, England. On the Register of the University of Oxford, in 1572, appears the name of Hugh Weymouthe.
Berwick, Maine, the early home of the Weymouth family in America, was originally the northern part of the ancient town of Kittery, and was known, prior to its incorporation, as the parish of Unity and precinct of Berwick. The southern part was incorporated as the parish of Unity in 1673. In 1713 it was incorporated as a town, under the name of Berwick. The whole of Berwick, North Berwick, and South Berwick, except a small portion, were included within its bounds in 1720. South Berwick was taken off in 1814, and North Berwick in 1831.
The early settlers in "Old Kittery" included several by the name of Waymouth (or Weymouth), who were, it may be presumed, kinsmen of each other, but whose exact relationship to each other cannot be determined, owing to incompleteness of the early records. Mr. Stackpole, in his history of Old Kittery, lists the following :
Robert Weymouth, or Waymouth, said to have come from Dartmouth, England, before 1652. He had sons William, James, and George.
William, brother of the above; died about 1654.
William, perhaps same as William, son of Robert Weymouth of Dartmouth, England, had sons William, Robert, Joshua (born in 1695) and Samuel.
Joshua, married in 1720; lived in Berwick, no record that he had any sons.
Edward, born in 1639, lived or owned land in Dover, Kittery and Eliot; had a son Timothy. Timothy was granted land in 1703; married before 1705 and had sons Ichabod, Shadrach, Timothy, and Jonathan.
"Benjamin, son of Benjamin and Mary"; these two are shown as Benjamin (II) and Ben- jamin (I), respectively, in the genealogical line of four Benjamins which follows.
There seems little doubt that a descendant of some one of the above, probably of the Benjamin who was baptized January 21, 1721-22, was Benjamin Weymouth, Revolutionary soldier, of whom further.
(Everett S. Stackpole: "Old Kittery and Her Families" (1903), pp. 794-96.)
(I) BENJAMIN WEYMOUTH, whose ancestral lineage is as yet unproven, was in Dover, New Hampshire, and a father, as early as February, 1693-94. He was living in 1724, when he deeded land to his son, Benjamin. He married Mary, and they had a son, Benjamin, of whom further.
(Ibid., pp. 619, 795. "Collections of the Dover, New Hampshire, Historical Society" (1894), Vol. I, p. 29.)
(II) BENJAMIN (2) WEYMOUTH, son of Benjamin and Mary Weymouth, was born at Dover, New Hampshire, where his birth was recorded as follows: "Benjamin Wamouth Son of Benjamen by his wife mary borne the first Day of febraury in ye year 1693-4." He and his wife Sarah and two children, Benjamin and Mary, were all baptized at South Berwick, Maine, January 21, 1721-22. He received land from his father in 1724.
Benjamin Weymouth married, June 14, 1716, Sarah Morrell, who was born December 1, 1695, daughter of Nicholas and Sarah (Frye) Morrell.

Children (first two baptized at South Berwick, Maine; fifth at Dover, New Hampshire) :

2. Mary, baptized January 21, 1721-22.
3. Abigail, baptized August 4, 1723.
4. Elizabeth, baptized May 21, 1727.
5. Sarah (probably) "Dr. of Benjamin Weymouth," baptized February 23, 1729, by Rev. Jonathan Cushing. (Records of First Church, Dover, New Hampshire.)
("Collection of Dover, New Hampshire, Historical Society," Vol. I, pp. 29, 138. Everett S. Stackpole: "Old Kittery and His Families," pp. 619, 795.)
(III) BENJAMIN (3) WEYMOUTH, son of Benjamin and Sarah (Morrell) Weymouth, was born between 1717-22, and was baptized at South Berwick, Maine, January 21, 1721-22. While no records are found which positively prove the identity, there seems to be little, if any, doubt that he was the "Benja. Waymoth" who was taxed in 1772 in Berwick, which then included North and South Ber- wick. Little more of him is known, but it seems equally certain that he was the father of "Benj. Waymoth, Jr.," of whom further, who, the same year was taxed at Pond Mill, Berwick.
(Everett S. Stackpole: "Old Kittery and His Families," p. 795. "Maine Genealogist and Biographer," Vol. I, pp. 24, 26 (published in 1875-76).)
(IV) BENJAMIN (4) WEYMOUTH, evidently the son of the above Benjamin Weymouth, of South Berwick, resided at Berwick, York County, Maine. He served three years in the Continental Army, in the Revolutionary War. It is recorded that Benjamin "Weighmouth" was a minute man in 1775 and served three years, from 1777 to 1780. Benjamin Weymouth, of Berwick, enlisted May 8, 1775, as a private and was in the company under the command of Captain Phillip Hubbard, in Colonel Scamman's regiment. The following records of Benjamin Waymouth (or Weymouth), of Berwick, probably all refer to this Benjamin :
Benjamin Weymouth, Berwick, Private, Capt. Philip Hubbard's County, Col. James Scam- mon's (30th) regt .; muster roll dated Aug. 1, 1775; enlisted May 8, 1775; service 3 mos. I day ; also, company return (probably Oct., 1775) ; including abstract of pay to last of July, 1775; also, order for bounty coat dated Headquarters, Cambridge, Oct. 27, 1775.
Benjamin Waymouth, Berwick, Private, Capt. John Goodwin's Co., Majl. Daniel Little- field's detachment of York Co. militia; detached July 10, 1779; discharged Sept. 10. 1779; service, 2 mos., on Penobscot expedition.

Benjamin Weymouth married (probably), in Scarborough, Maine, May 8, 1782, Mary Tyler. Children (order not known) :
I. Eunice, of whom further.
2. Solomon, son of Benjamin Weymouth, who was a private in the Massachusetts militia and Colonel John Bailey's regiment, Continental Infantry; married Betsey Whit- comb, and they had a son, Calvin Hiram, who married Sarah Dorr.

The surname, Peterson, comes from the Christian name, Peter, introduced in England at the time of the Conquest. The name was sometimes written Petre, as accidentally, by the Petres, or Peters of Torn Newton, in the County Devonshire, but it is generally written Peterson, as by this particular family.

(The Wadsworth Line).
Members of the Wadsworth family who came to America were Cromwellians who left England during the Civil War there, while others of the name removed to Yorkshire and began woolen manufacturing. Many of the name are still to be found in the West Riding of Yorkshire. The name was in Yorkshire long before the Cromwell period, however, for before 800 A. D. one of the chief conspirators against Ethelred, King of Northumberland, was Duke Wada, of prodigious size and strength. It is said that the patronymica Wadsworth came from the name of the residence of this Duke Wada in Yorkshire. Although no definite location or family in England had been established for Christopher Wadsworth who founded this branch of the family in America, the name Christopher occurs on the records of Wadsworth and Wordsworth in Silkstone, York County, England, which would suggest Yorkshire as a possible residence of his predecessors.
Whether Christopher Wadsworth, of Duxbury, Massachusetts, was related in any way with William Wadsworth, who arrived in Boston in the same year, with Thomas Hooker's company, is not known. The American families of the name have held places of great importance in America, closely associated with military and political life and have figured in early Colonial, State and Federal offices of prominence.
(H. A. Wadsworth: "Two Hundred and Fifty Years of Wadsworth Family in America," pp. 18, 90. "County Pedigrees of Nottinghamshire," Vol. I, p. 23. R. Hinman: "Catalogue of Puritan Settlers of Connecticut," pp. 300-32. J. Winsor : "History of Duxbury, Massachu- setts," p. 328.)
(I) CHRISTOPHER WADSWORTH was born in England, and died in Duxbury, Massachusetts, about 1678, as his will was dated July 21, 1677, and was filed the following year. It has been said that he, like William Wadsworth, later of Con- necticut, came over on the ship "Lion" September 16, 1632, but his name does not appear on the records until 1633, when he was recorded in Duxbury, Massachu- setts. "Xtofer Waddesworth," as his name is recorded, was a representative in 1666-67, and also served his town as deputy, selectman and surveyor. He owned land at Holly Swamp in 1638 and purchased more land in 1655. In 1682, land of "Goodman Wadsworth" was mentioned in the Duxbury records. His neighbors there were Captain Miles Standish, Elder Brewster, and John Alden.
Christopher Wadsworth married Grace Cole, whose will was dated January 13, 1687-88. Children :
I. Joseph, born in 1636, died after March 22, 1689, when he made his will; owned land in Bridgewater, Massachusetts; married (first), in 1655, Abigail Waite and (second) Mary.
2. Deacon John, of whom further.
3. Captain Samuel, died April 18, or 21, 1676, in King Philip's War ; married, in 1655, Abi- gail Lindall, and they lived in Milton, Massachusetts.
4. Mary, married Henry Andrews.
