Notes:

Summoned to Parliament by writs 22 Feb 1307 to 18 Sep 1322.

"[P]layed a leading role at the battle of Stirling in 1297, but in 1299 was taken prisoner and ransomed by the Scots. [...] In 1312 he joined Thomas, earl of Lancaster, in the attack upon Piers Gaveston, and in 1321, at the time of Lancaster's great rebellion, his loyalties were the subject of suspicion by the crown." [Oxford Dictionary of National Biography]

From Wikipedia:

In 1297 Marmaduke achieved some fame at the Battle of Stirling Bridge by a heroic escape. Over 100 English knights had been trapped, together with several thousand infantry, on the far side of the river, and were being slaughtered by the Scots. Thweng managed to fight his way back across the bridge and he thus became the only knight of all those on the far side of the river to survive the battle. Following the rout, Thweng with William FitzWarin were appointed castellans of Stirling Castle by the English leader John de Warenne, 6th Earl of Surrey. The castle was quickly starved into submission, and Thweng and FitzWarin were taken prisoner to Dumbarton Castle.

At the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314, however, after the English defeat, Sir Marmaduke apparently made no attempt to escape. Instead he wandered over the battlefield until he located Robert the Bruce; only then was he prepared to surrender, and only to the victorious King. Robert recognised Sir Marmaduke and released him and Ralph de Monthermer, also captured, both without ransom, but not without first entertaining them at table.

Notes:

Edward Darcy was Groom of the Privy Chamber to Elizabeth I, 1583-1603. He graduated from Trinity College, Cambridge in 1561, and was admitted at the Inner Temple in Nov 1561. Special ambassador to Francis, Duke of Anjou and William of Orange in 1583. Burgess (M.P.) for Truro, Cornwall, in 1584; justice of the peace in Kent from 1604 to his death.

His lifelong cupidity appears to have been notable even by the standards of Elizabethan court society. From his entry in the History of Parliament: "In 1594 the attorney-general protested at the nomination of one Wiseman to the post of clerk of the outlawries, after Darcy had virtually put up the office for auction, and in 1600 the widow of Edward Denny petitioned against Darcy's attempt to obtain part of the proceeds of the sale of her late husband's office. He had little need, she wrote, 'to suck this small portion of her Majesty's favour from the hungry mouths of my children'. [...] His patent for searching and sealing leather, which he was granted in 1592 (or 1593), led him to commit 'such exactions and outrages as disquieted all England', and his privileges were first reduced (in 1595) and then (before May 1598) replaced by a new patent for the monopoly of importing and manufacturing playing cards." Sometime between then and 1602, Darcy sued Thomas Allin (also spelled Allain, Allein, Allen, etc.), haberdasher of London, for infringing on his playing-card patent. In what came to be regarded as a landmark case in English law, known to history as the "Case of Monopolies," the King's Bench ultimately ruled against Darcy, declaring his patent void because monopolies are ultimately damaging to the public good. The arguments set forth in the verdict were later much quoted in the various deliberations leading to the creation of modern antitrust and competition law.

His loss in court can't have broken his stride too badly; he was knighted the next year, on 23 Apr 1603, and retired to live the comfortable life of a wealthy man.

From The Farwell Family:

"He is buried in South Nashua, N. H. At the time of his death the town of Nashua, N. H., was a part of the old township of Dunstable, Mass. When the boundary dispute between Mass. and New Hampshire was settled this change in name was brought about. [...] Joseph Farwell is styled in the Old Dunstable records 'Ensign Farwell.' He was, immediately after his settlement in the town, employed in various offices in the town business. He was selectman in 1701, 2, 5, 7, 10, and also at earlier dates, highway surveyor in 1706, and on important committees in 1702, 7, 12, 16 and 17. In 1710 Ensign Farwell, Thomas Lund and Joseph Blanchard, selectmen, petitioned the Assembly for aid in supporting the ministry, and in 1711 it is recorded that they received £10 from the Assembly towards payment of salary of Mr. Paris. He was 'Ensign' of the Chelmsford Military Co., 1687-1695."

Notes:

He emigrated with his family in 1631 on the Lyon; first at Boston, then very shortly thereafter Salem. He was one of the original companions of Roger Williams in the settlement of Rhode Island in 1636. He was in New York with Anne Hutchinson's family and others in 1642, settling the peninsula from Long Island now called, after him, Throg's Neck or Throgg's Neck. Following the Native uprising of 1643 in which the Hutchinsons, among others, were slain, he returned to Rhode Island, where he was town moderator of Providence in 1652 and town treasurer in 1677. He appears at Barbados in 1656. He was also a deputy to the Rhode Island assembly in 1664-68, 1670-73, and 1675. He died while visiting his sons at Middletown, New Jersey in 1684.

Direct ancestor of, among others, Gen. James Longstreet, Susan B. Anthony, and Maxwell Perkins. Gateway ancestor of EK.

He is the subject of some controversy. The first is whether he was the "Mr. Throgmorton" recorded as arriving on the Lyon at Nantasket in February 1631, along with, among others, Roger Williams. Shortly thereafter, on 18 May 1631, "Mr. George Throckmorton" was admitted as a freeman of the Bay Colony. G. Andrews Moriarty and others argued that "George" was a scribal error and that "Mr. Throgmorton" of the Lyon was the same man that later became prominent in Providence, Rhode Island and died in New Jersey while visiting his sons. In 1995, in The Great Migration Begins (page 1818, other citation details below), Robert Charles Anderson argued that George Throckmorton and John were separate individuals. Twenty years later, however, in his The Great Migration Directory (2015, page 335, other citation details below), Anderson stated that John Throckmorton of Salem and Providence did in fact arrive in 1631 on the Lyon, and he marks his 1995 remarks as "incorrect."

The second controversy is whether the John Throckmorton of Salem and Rhode Island was in fact the John Throckmorton who was baptized in 1601, a son of Norwich alderman, citizen and grocer Bassingbourne Throckmorton, and thus a "gateway ancestor" with a descent from Edward I and beyond. This proposal first gained currency in the notoriously unreliable work of Col. Charles Wickliffe Throckmorton (citation details below), but it was subsequently endorsed by the far more credible genealogist G. Andrews Moriarty (citation details below), who published multiple articles piling up the circumstantial-yet-strong evidence for the case. Today this descent appears to be broadly accepted, appearing as undisputed fact in widely used secondary sources such as Ancestral Roots and Royal Ancestry. But not universally accepted: Robert Charles Anderson, in the same 2015 entry in which he notes that he now agrees that the Providence man was the "Mr. Throgmorton" of the Lyon, still lists the Providence man's origins as "unknown." There exists nothing to clinch the case, but the quality and quantity of the not-quite-probative evidence is striking:

* The father of the John Throckmorton baptized at Norwich in 1601, Bassingbourne Throckmorton, was a member of the minor gentry connected with trade as a merchant and shipowner. The New England John Throckmorton was consistently called "Mr." and "gentleman," terms reserved at that time for persons of higher-than-usual birth, and he was a merchant and shipowner. References to the New England man in the Winthrop Papers show that John owned several coastal vessels and that he was entrusted with the transportation of letters and legal papers along with normal trade goods, sailing as far south as Delaware and Virginia as well as along the New England coast.

* At age 19, in 1621, the John Throckmorton of Norwich apprenticed himself to Robert Debney, alderman of Norwich (who described himself in his 1634 will as "brother-in-law" to Bassingbourne Throckmorton), to train as a legal scrivener. Roger Williams said the New England man had been "a member of a corporation in England" and that he "had some knowledge of the law", and a letter from Williams to Throckmorton points out to him that he ought to know his duty to uphold law and order since he had once been an officer of a municipal corporation. This indicates that the New England man had exactly the level of practical legal knowledge one would expect from someone who had trained as a scrivener -- not that of a full-fledged attorney, but rather that of someone well-informed enough to deal with legal matters as a merchant and businessman.

* Bassingbourne Throckmorton made his will on 10 Sep 1638 and died eleven days later. Subsequently several of his sons sued his executors. In their answer to the suit, on 13 May 1640, the executors stated that neither they at that date, nor Bassingbourne when he made his will, knew whether his son John was alive or dead.

(The above may answer one of the long-held objections to the idea that John of New England was a son of Bassingbourne of Norwich, which is that the distinctive name Bassingbourne appears among none of the New England man's descendants. First, it is a matter of record that, aside from naming his second son for himself, John Throckmorton of New England gave his children exactly the kind of names that one would expect for the offspring of an ardent Puritan: Freegift, Patience, Deliverance, Job, Joseph. But more to the point, if the Norwich man did indeed emigrate to New England without telling anyone in his family, a model entirely consistent with what we learn from the lawsuit mentioned above, that would seem to suggest the sort of significant personal rupture in which traditional family names don't get passed on. It's clear that the New England man had a temper and the ability to break with others. As Moriarty notes — 1944, citation details below — , "[i]n later life he became a violent Quaker [and] quarreled with his old friend Roger Williams.")

* The will of Edward Covell, gentleman of Bradwell, Essex, made 1 Aug 1679 and proved 9 Feb 1680, bequeathed £6 to "my kinsman, John Throckmorton of Midle-Towne in New England", clearly referring to the 1631 emigrant's son John Throckmorton of Middletown, New Jersey. By itself this phrase establishes that the New England John Throckmorton was connected to East Anglian families. But Edward Covell's 1679 will also mentions his deceased kinswoman "Grace, late wife of Henry Payne" -- as does the 1633 will of another East Anglian man with the same surname, Thomas Colvyll of Thelveton, Norfolk, which calls her "Grace my neice now wife of Henry Payne". Grace Colvill, wife of Henry Payne, was a niece of Frances Colvill who was the wife of Thomas Shardelowe, second cousin of Bassingbourne Throckmorton through their shared descent from John Throckmorton (~1460-~1508) of South Elmham, Suffolk and his wife Jane Baynard. Thomas Colvyll's will also mentions Thomas Shardelow, calling him "gent, whose first wife was my wife's sister". And it mentions two members of the Cornwallis family of Brome, Suffolk: "Sir Thomas Cornwallis my late master" and "Lady Jane Bacon, late wife of Sir William Corwallis knt. deceased". Elizabeth Cornwallis of this same family was the maternal grandmother of Bassingbourne Throckmorton. (Moriarty, 1947, citation details below.)

* In 2002, Paul C. Reed and Leslie Mahler (citation details below) established the identity and origins of Rebecca Farrand, who married the New England John Throckmorton in 1635 and was the mother of all his children. In doing so they also identified both of her parents, all four of her grandparents, and six further ancestors as well. They also established that Edward Covell, the abovementioned testator of 1679, was the husband of Anne Farrand, sister to Rebecca, and thus quite a close "kinsman" indeed to New England John Throckmorton. Edward Covell is also mentioned in the 4 Jan 1661 will of another of Rebecca's sisters, Elizabeth Farrand, in which she calls him "my Brother Edward Covill".

In summary, it would seem that if the John Throckmorton of Salem and Rhode Island wasn't a son of Bassingbourne Throckmorton of Norwich, he must have been the offspring of a Throckmorton very closely related to him. That, or we're looking at a genuinely impressive number of coincidences.

From Wikipedia (accessed 13 Nov 2020):

John Throckmorton (1601–1684) was an early settler of Providence Plantation in what became the Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, and he was one of the 12 original proprietors of that settlement. He emigrated from Norfolk, England to settle in Salem in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, but religious tensions brought about his removal to Providence.

In 1643, Throckmorton made a land purchase in New Netherland and settled there with several dozen others. However, an Indian attack during Kieft's War caused him and others to return to Providence. He became active in civil affairs, serving as moderator, deputy, and treasurer. He died in 1684 in Middletown, New Jersey, where he went to visit his children, and was buried there. Throggs Neck in Bronx, New York City is named for him.

John Throckmorton was almost certainly baptised in Norwich, county Norfolk, England on 9 May 1601, the son of grocer and alderman Bassingburn Throckmorton. On 20 March 1621, he was apprenticed to a scrivener, but his whereabouts by 1638 had become unknown to his father, and the executors of his father's estate in 1640 could not find him. Several writers suggest that he was the "George Throckmorton" who arrived in New England aboard the Lyon and was made a freeman in May 1631. In 1995, Robert Charles Anderson argued that this was highly unlikely because a person of his stature would not be absent from the colonial records from 1631 to 1638, suggesting that George Throckmorton either died soon after his arrival or else returned to England, and John Throckmorton did not arrive in the colonies until closer to 1638. Twenty years later, however, Anderson had evidently changed his view, stating that John Throckmorton of Salem and Providence was in fact the 1631 passenger on the Lyon and listing his own 1995 remarks as "incorrect."

Throckmorton may have been in Salem in the Massachusetts Bay Colony as early as 1635, but the first definitive record of his presence in New England is in 1638 when he was one of the 12 original proprietors of Providence Plantation, being named in the deed signed by Roger Williams in October of that year. Nevertheless, it is certain that he was in Salem at some point because the Reverend Hugh Peters of Salem alluded to him and his wife in July 1639 as having "the great censure passed upon them in this our church." Rev. Peters also complained that they and certain others "wholly refused to hear the church, denying it and all the churches in the Bay to be true churches."

On 27 July 1640, Throckmorton was one of 39 settlers who signed an agreement for a form of government in Providence. Three years later, he obtained a grant of land for himself and 35 others from Governor Willem Kieft in New Netherland. The land was named after him and is called Throggs Neck, now a part of The Bronx in New York City. Other nearby English settlers included Thomas Cornell and Anne Hutchinson, who may have purchased her land from Throckmorton. The settlement was short-lived, however, and its fate was summed up by Massachusetts Bay Colony Governor John Winthrop in September 1643, who said that the Indians set upon the English who dwelt under the Dutch and killed "such of Mr. Throckmorton's and Mr. Cornhill's families as were at home." He further added that these settlers "had cast off ordinances and churches, and now at last their own people, and for larger accommodation had subjected themselves to the Dutch, and dwelt scatteringly near a mile assunder."

Some of those who escaped the Indian attack returned to Providence. Throckmorton was in Providence on 27 February 1647 when he was granted a house and land once belonging to Edward Cope. Soon he became active in civil affairs; he was a Providence Moderator in 1652 and from 1664 to 1675, and he served for eight years as Deputy to the General Assembly. He was also on the Providence Town Council in 1667, and ten years later he was the town treasurer. In July 1672, Throckmorton wrote one of three letters to Roger Williams critical of Williams' unfavorable opinions of the Quakers.

Throckmorton died in March or April 1684 in Middletown, New Jersey where he had gone to visit his children, and he was also buried there. He had owned land in Middletown but never resided there permanently.

Edward married Elizabeth Stanhope after 1634. Elizabeth (daughter of Philip Stanhope) died about 1683. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

One of AP's two proven gateway ancestors.

Cotton Mather, in Magnalia Christi Americana, called Mary Launce, second wife of the Rev. John Sherman, a "young gentlewoman [...] a Person of good Education, and Reputation, and honorably descended," whose mother was "daughter to the Lord Darcy, who was Earl of Rivers." She certainly was not, and in his pioneering 1860-64 Genealogical Dictionary of the First Settlers of New England, James Savage took delight at exercising his well-known animus against Mather, who "tells of this wife calling her mother daughter of Darcy, Earl Rivers, one of the Popish Counsellors of Charles I who had no daughter that married a Launce." Savage continues: "If [Mary Launce Sherman] did give [her husband] these myths of her noble descent [...] either she was insane, which he had not sanity enough to discover, or she was irreverently playing on his bottomless credulity." It was left to the great Donald Lines Jacobus, founder of the twentieth-century "Jacobus School" of skeptical, fact-based genealogy, to point out, in a 1944 article, "The Family of Rev. John Sherman" (citation details below), that Mary Launce's mother really was a Darcy, albeit one of the Darcy family of Kent. Isabella Darcy of London, daughter of Sir Edward Darcy, a confidant and ally of Elizabeth I, first married John Launce of Cornwall and, secondly, the Rev. Sydrach Simpson, master of Pembroke Hall at Cambridge University. Her 1668 will names, with others, her sons James Launce and Darcy Launce, and her daughter Mary Sherman. In a subsequent article, "The Darcy Ancestry of Mrs. John Sherman" (citation details below), Jacobus put forth further proofs of Mary Launce's parentage, calling it a "perfect chain of evidence" and remarking that "Few English lines of early colonists are so thoroughly proved."

Descendants of the Rev. John Sherman and Mary Launce include Norman Rockwell, Declaration of Independence signer Robert Treat Paine, and the 68th governor of Massachusetts, William Weld.

Regarding the date of her death, the Early New England Families Study Project (citation details below) states only that she "[d]ied probably at Watertown between 15 October 1705 and 24 December 1712. She was living on 20 October 1704, when she acknowledged a deed." But Watertown records (citation details below) clearly state "m^s Mary Sherman (widow of mr. John Sherman Late: R^d: pastor of the church in watertown) deceas^t march : 9 : 1709/10".

Mary married Rev. John Sherman about 1647. John (son of Edmund Sherman and Grace Makin) was born on 26 Dec 1613 in Dedham, Essex, England; was christened on 4 Jan 1614 in Dedham, Essex, England; died on 8 Aug 1685 in Watertown, Middlesex, Massachusetts; was buried in East Watertown, Middlesex, Massachusetts.

He went to New England with his father in 1630, the first of at least eight Atlantic crossings in his lifetime. He was a man of many interests and offices, both in New England and during England's commonwealth period.

He was also on several occasions embroiled in political conflict with the Winthrop/Dudley government of colonial Boston.

Notes:

Simon Stone Genealogy says merely that she outlived her husband, who died 27 Feb 1783, while John Dennis Farwell's The Farwell Family (1929) gives no death date for her at all. But the headstone in the Groton Old Burying Ground for "Mary Stone relict of Dea. James Stone", seen on Find A Grave, clearly says "March" and "1804". I can't make out the day of the month from the photograph.
