Notes:

Said to have come from Hemel Hempstead in Herefordshire. Said to have brought his own tombstone from England and dig his own grave, into which he went at the age of 100.

Janet and Robert Wolfe's collection of notes on Richard Betts provides a thorough collection of his and his wife's appearances in the record. He appears first in Newtown, Long Island in 1656. He was a justice in Long Island in 1669, and High Sheriff of Yorkshire, Long Island in 1679 and 1680.

(Yorkshire was an administrative unit that existed for a few years following the English conquest of New Amsterdam; it comprised the territory of present day Long Island, including modern Brooklyn and Queens, plus Staten Island, and also the modern Bronx, Westchester, and Nassau counties. Like the original Yorkshire, it was divided into three "ridings", East, West, and North.)

On 13 May 1693, Richard Betts of Newtown and his wife Joanna sold 20 acres of land in Newtown to John Scudder. Joanna's mother's first husband was a John Scudder, who died in England in 1625 or 1626; it seems not unlikely that this John Scudder was a relative.

In an August, 1698 census of Newtown (transcribed by Charles Carroll Gardner in The American Genealogist 24:133, July 1948), Richard Betts senior appears as an inhabitant with a family of 4 plus 1 Negro.

His burial record (citation details below) gives his age at death as a highly believable 113 and says that he was buried at "ye kills."

Richard married Joanna Chamberlain. Joanna (daughter of Rev. Robert Chamberlaine and Elizabeth Stoughton) was born in Oct 1630 in Strood, Medway, Kent, England; died after 16 Mar 1711 in Newtown, Long Island, New York. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

After serving at Wardington, Oxfordshire as chaplain to Sir Richard Chetwood, he was appointed, probably on Chetwood's recommendation, to the living of Strood, Kent. Wardington is a chapelry in the parish of Cropredy in the hundred of Banbury. Cropredy is a place that will be familiar to certain music fans.

Notes:

A probable "gateway ancestor" of Teresa and GFS, and also of Fritz Leiber and Theodore Sturgeon, depending on whether the mother of her great-great grandmother Joan Roberts (~1484-1548) was in fact Isabel Culpepper (d. 1491), as seems circumstantially likely.

"After the 1639 death of her second husband the Rev. Robert Chamberlaine, Elizabeth (Scudder) (Chamberlaine) Stoughton 'came to New England with her children Elizabeth Scudder and Samuel and Joanna Chamberlaine, following her brothers Thomas and Israel Stoughton, and her son John Scudder, all of whom were here by 1635'. She was certainly in New England by 6 October 1644, when, as 'Mestres Chamberlin,' she joined the Rev. John Lothrop's church at Barnstable. She apparently moved to the Bay Colony shortly thereafter, for on 14 May 1645, the Massachusetts Bay General Court, calling her 'Mrs Chamberlin, widowe, sister to Mr Iraell Stoughton,' directed, '[u]pon weighty reasons moveing,' that she be allowed either a cow or £5."

Other Events and Attributes:

• Alternate death: 28 Sep 1684

Notes:

Mather (citation details below) follows longstanding Hallock family tradition in identifying this William Hallock as the only son of a Peter Hallock, of whom he says: "Peter I bought land of the Shinnecock Indians, in 1626. The tract was in the present Town of Southold, L. I. He held it for two years, and then returned to England. In 1640, he came to New Haven with the Eaton and Davenport Pilgrims. He selected 13 settlers for Southold, with Rev. John Youngs as their Pastor. They landed at Hallock's Point, already so named in the previous trip of Peter I, in 1626. It is said that he was the first of the 13 to step on shore, in 1640. That part of Southold is still called 'Hallock's Neck,' and the beach extending from it, 'Hallock's Beach,' which is now a public park. He returned to England for his wife, who, when he married her, was a Wid., with a son by her former husband, Mr. Howell. He promised that, if she accompanied him, her son should share with his son in his property." We know of no evidence for this Peter Hallock's existence, let alone whether he was William's father, but the family tradition has been persistent for generations.

William married Margaret. Margaret died on 9 May 1707 in Mattituck, Suffolk, Long Island, New York; was buried in First Presbyterian Church Old Burying Ground, Southold, Suffolk, Long Island, New York. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

He was admitted as vicar of Oakley, near Bedford. sometime in the twelve-month period prior to 1 May 1588. One of the men named overseer in his will was the Rev. Edward Bulkeley (1540-1621), ancestor of TNH, JTS, TSW, and TWK.

It is clear that he was not of Oakley in his origins.

Thomas married (Unknown first wife of the Rev. Thomas Chamberlayne). (Unknown died before 1590. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Described by Robert Charles Anderson as "a leading light of Elizabethan Puritanism who was silenced in the reign of James I and spent the rest of his life producing theological pamphlets." [The Great Migration Begins, volume 3, p. 1777.]

Amelia Morrow, from Connections: Morrow, Porter, Sanders, etc.:

Matriculated at Queens College, Cambridge 1573 and received the degree of bachelor of arts in 1576-7. Made a Fellow of the College in 1579 and became a Master of Arts in 1580. He was ordained deacon and priest at Lincoln, Feb 13, 1582. In July 1586, he was installed Rector at Naughton in Suffolk. [...]

Between 1594 and 1600, Thomas assisted the minister at Burstead Magna, Essex, where the birth of his daughter Judith is recorded. In 1600, Thomas became vicar at Coggeshall in Essex. The birth record of Israel appears in this church, as well as the burial of Thomas's wife Katherine. Thomas was "deprived of his vicarage" in 1606, but the reason was not recorded. It may have been nonconformity with the Church, as Thomas was frequently recorded as outspoken. [...]"

Thomas published a treatise called "Two Profitable Treatises" (British Museum 4371, a.a. 27) in 1616 that was written "from my chamber in the Hospital at St. Bartholomewes by Sandwich Sept. 3, 1616." The treatise says he was born and bred in Sandwich. His treatise "The Christians Sacrifice as set forth in Romans XII, 1, 2" (British Museum 4371, b.20) was printed in 1622 "with the Author's postscript to his children as it were his last Will and Testament unto them."

Todd Whitesides, writing on FindaGrave.com:

He was ordained deacon and priest at Lincoln Cathedral on Feb. 13, 1582, and was brought to the attention of Robert, 3rd Lord Rich by John Butler of Thoby Priory, Essex, and continued to benefit from Rich's patronage for many years. He was rector of Naughton from 1586 until 1594, at which time he was made curate of Great Burstead, Essex. He published "A general treatise against poperie, and in defence of the religion by publike avthoritie professed in England and other churches reformed" (Cambridge, 1598), which was dedicated to Lord Rich. In 1600 he was instituted vicar at Coggeshall at Lord Rich's presentation, but due to his nonconformity he was admonished by Bishop Richard Vaughan and deprived of Coggeshall by the High Commission in 1606. Despite being removed from his living it was reported in 1606 that he "doeth often expound the Word in his deske". In 1610 at Great Totham, Essex, he signed the dedicatory epistle to his work "The dignitie of Gods children". By 1616 he had returned to his native Sandwich, where he remained living in poverty until his death.

He continued to expound on his beliefs, publishing 'Two Profitable Treatises' in 1616, followed up in 1622 with "The Christians Sacrifice", a text of some 251 pages, which was dedicated to his patron, who had since purchased the title Earl of Warwick. He signed the dedicatory epistle to this on 20 Aug. 1622 from "my poore lodging in the poor Hospitall called S. Bartholomewes by Sandwich in Kent", and further stated he was now "ready to be dissolved, and to laye down my earthly Tabernacle...the time of my departing being at hand..." Two days later he appended the work with "The Authors postscript to his Children as it were his Last Will and Testament unto them".

At the end of his life he recalled being present at Hampton Court 43 years earlier, where he heard ministers preaching before Queen Elizabeth.

In 1606 Stoughton was a legatee, along with others, in the will of Timothy Saint Nicholas, who "moste humblie thanckinge them for their faithefull endeavor and for their earnest labour and paines for the instruction of my conscience and the consciences of many men in the knowledge of Gods truthe and relligion". Described as "a silenced preacher", he received a bequest in the 1610 will of Alice Wade of Bildeston, Suffolk, and in 1612 was mentioned in the will of his first cousin Thomas Stoughton of St Paul's Parish, Canterbury. In the 1619 will of Charles Eure, esquire, fourth son of William, 2nd Lord Eure, Stoughton being described as of St Bartholomews in Sandwich, Kent received the generous bequest of £10.

From The Art of Hearing: English Preachers and Their Audiences, 1590-1640 by Arnold Hunt (Cambridge University Press, 2010):

Thomas Stoughton's Two Profitable Treatises (1616) [...] despite being "much enlarged" for print, was written in the style of an oral sermon so that readers could imagine it "rather...as presently by lively voice uttered, than as formerly by dead letter onely written." Whereas Dod and Cleaver had removed colloquial expressions in order to achieve a more dignified style, Stoughton went to the other extreme, filling the text with proverbial and colloqiual remarks ("soft fire maketh sweetest malt"; "Sathan bestirreth his stumps to hurt and destroy") and repetitions ("labour, labour, I beseech you"; "alas, alas"; "take heed, take heed") in order to recreate the experience of hearing a live sermon.
