    "Graduating from Harvard College in 1669 he became the first minister of the parish of Salem Village in 1671. His wife's sister married into the Putnam family as did two of his own brothers, and he had the support of that powerful clan, but there was much opposition to 'settling' him, the parish controversy finally reaching the General Court. That body, overreaching itself, ordered that the church settle Mr. Bailey and pay him £60 a year, but this decision was ignored and Bailey retired in 1679. From 1682 to about 1691 he preached at Killingworth, Conn., going to Roxbury in the latter year and practising as a physician. He died after a very distressing illness Jan. 20, 1706/7.

    From Ancestry of Robert Harry McIntire and of Helen Annette McIntire (citation details below):

    Joseph lived west of Anguilla Brook, Stonington, where he kept an ordiinary, "which was considered by travelers better than any other tavern for miles along the road." He is said to have engaged in the West Indies trade, "by which he was very wealthy."

    His will dated July 8 1715, was admitted to probate in New London, Conn. His widow withheld the will for a time, and what is described as "an interesting controversy" took place before it was probated. She objected because whe was given only her dower, one-third of the estate. The other two-thirds went to her grandsons, Saxton Palmer and Saxton Bailey.

    Notes:

    Emigrated in 1631 with his parents and brothers. Settled at Roxbury, Massachusetts. Married Bridget Thompson, 1641. She died two years later, whereupon he returned to England to take up arms for Parliament. Was injured and (possibly) captured and escaped, a sequence of events that somehow resulted in him returning to Massachusetts in 1645 with a second wife, Ann Borodell. Removed to New London, 1651; served on the New London war committees in 1653 and 1654, when the Dutch threatened war. Removed to Stonington, 1654. Two decades later, we find him as captain of the New London County forces in King Philip's War, where he fought in and survived the Great Swamp Fight in Rhode Island, 19 Dec 1675. In 1676 he is "Provo-Marshall" of New London, pursuing remnants of the Narragansett and Wampanaug. He captured Chief Canonchet and worked with Pequot chiefs to "control the remnant of their tribe."

    "We would premise, that William Denison, came to Roxbury, Mass., in company with Rev. John Eliot, in 1631, bringing with him his wife and three sons, Daniel, Edward and George. The last named married in 1640, Bridget Thompson, supposed to have been a sister of Rev. William Thompson, of Braintree. His wife died in 1643. Mr. Denison visited his native country the same year, 'and engaged in the civil conflict with which the kingdom was convulsed.' On his return to this country, about two years afterwards, he brought with him his second wife, Ann, daughter of John Borrowdale, or Borrodel, of Cork, Ireland. Mr. D. emigrated to Connecticut as early as 1651, and in 1654 settled in what is now Stonington, to which the name of Southerton was given in 1658, when the territory was annexed to the County of Suffolk, Mass. He filled acceptably many offices of public trust, and was particularly distinguished as a leader in King Philip's war. He died at Hartford, Oct. 23d, 1694, during the session of the General Court, and was there buried. His age, according to the inscription on his grave stone, was 76." [Introduction to "Will of George Denison,--1693", New England Historical and Genealogical Register, Volume 13, 1859, p. 73.]

    "My Brother George buried his first Wife in the year 1643, went to England, was a soldier there about a year, was at the Battle of York or Marston Moor where he did good service, was afterward taken prisoner, but got free, and having married a second Wife, he returned to New England the year before our Mother died, and not long afterward removed himself to New London, near whereunto at Stonington he now liveth." ["Autobiography of Major-General Daniel Denison." The New England Historical and Genealogical Register 46:127, April 1892.]

    Along with TNH ancestors William Chesebrough, Walter Palmer, and Thomas Stanton, he was one of the founders of Stonington, Connecticut.

  7. 48.  John Bayly was born about 1586 in of Bromham, Wiltshire, England; died on 2 Nov 1651 in Newbury, Essex, Massachusetts.

    Notes:

    He was a weaver.

    From Stott (citation details below):

    On 23 September 1617, John Bayly Jr. was presented for possessing a crossbow contrary to the statutes of [Bromham] manor...Perhaps the most interesting entry is dated 4 April 1627, when the jury declared that John Bayly was "a common hedge stealer...And that Ann baylyes twoe daughters were also common hedgestealers." The meaning of "hedgestealer" has yet to be determined.

    John is last mentioned in Bromham parish registers on 12 April 1635, in the burial entry of his daughter Rebecca. If the family tradition is correct, John Bayly and his son John left England soon after Rebecca's burial, as they are supposed to have been passengers on the Angel Gabriel bound from Bristol to New England that wrecked off Pemaquid, Maine, on 15 August of the same year.

    By 1637 John Bayly, William Schooler, and others had taken up residence "beyond the Merrimack" in what is now Amesbury. Bayly built his home at "Sweet's Hill." Bayly's Pond at the foot of the hill testifies that he was present there. John was fined £5 by the General Court of 4 June 1639 for buying land from the Indians without authority from the court. The fine was remitted pending his forfeiture of the land.

    John Bayly was an original proprietor of Salisbury in March 1639/40. Most of the early settlers of Salisbury were Wiltshiremen. John received additional lands in the divisions of 1642 and 1643, and in 1642 he was granted fishing privileges on the Powow River. The Quarterly Court held at Salisbury on 24 April 1649 freed John from the obligation of bringing his wife over from England, "she utterly refusing to come." The same court freed John from military training, with John paying 5s annually to the military company of Salisbury. John moved to Newbury in 1650.

    John married Ann Bayly in Jul 1611 in Bromham, Wiltshire, England. Ann died before 27 Aug 1659 in Bromham, Wiltshire, England; was buried on 27 Aug 1659 in Bromham, Wiltshire, England. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]


  8. 49.  Ann Bayly died before 27 Aug 1659 in Bromham, Wiltshire, England; was buried on 27 Aug 1659 in Bromham, Wiltshire, England.

    Notes:

    Bayly was her maiden name as well as her married name, but neither her parents nor her husband's have been definitely identified. Bayly was a very common name in the parish of Bromham and surrounding area.

    He was a carpenter and innkeeper in Newbury. In Sep 1646 he was fined for "showing attentions" to Bridget Travers, wife of Henry Travers, and was "bound not to frequent her company." He was constable of Newbury in 1655, clerk of the Newbury market in 1656, and a Newbury selectman in 1661. In 1663 he was fined for entertaining Quakers in his house; in the legal proceeding, a witness testified that "two men quakers wr entertained very kindly to bed and table & John Emmerie shok ym by ye hand and bid ym welcome," and that "the witness heard John Emery and his wife say that he had entertained quakers and that he would not put them from his house and used argument for the lawfulness of it." He was also prominent in the case of Lt. Robert Pike, refusing to recognize the General Court's authority to deprive the men of the town of the right of petition. Walter Goodwin Davis describes John Emery as "a courageous man who did not hesitate to back his opinions with action."

    Also called Judith. Said to have been born Judith or Goodeth Itchenor, without any proof to the best of our knowledge. Whether that was her original surname or not, the 25 Mar 1670 death date of "Goodeth Copp" is clearly visible on her headstone at Copp's Hill Burying Ground, shown on her Find a Grave page.

    • Alternate birth: Between 1580 and 1590, of Little Preston, Preston Capes, Northamptonshire, England
    • Alternate death: 6 Nov 1626, London, England

    Notes:

    The 1669 visitation of Oxford states that his father was a Richard Tompson.

    Early records call him "yeoman"; later, he is referred to as "of Clifford's Inn" (one of the Inns of Chancery associated with the Inner Temple, itself one of the Inns of Court) and "gentleman."

    Several earlier researchers give his death date as 6 Nov 1626, the date of his will, which is the death date given in his IPM. However, he added a codicil to his will on 7 Nov. His IPM was taken almost two years after his death, which may have contributed to the error.

    John married Alice Freeman in 1613. Alice (daughter of Henry Freeman and Margaret Edwards) was born about 1595; died after 24 Dec 1658 in New London, New London, Connecticut. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
