• Notes

  Also called Stephen Pyldrym alias Dummer. From Abandoning America (citation details below): Stephen and Alice Dummer came from Bishopstoke, Hampshire. Stephen's brother Richard Dummer had emigrated in 1632, but visited England in 1637–8 and brought Stephen and Alice back to New England with him. They settled at Newbury, Massachusetts, with Richard Dummer. Stephen became a freeman on 22 May 1639. He still owned property in England, on which he received rents. The Dummers left New England in the winter of 1646/7. According to their grandson Samuel Sewall, this was because of 'the Climat being not agreeable'. They went back with their daughter Jane Sewall and her husband Henry, and their niece Joan Nelson. Stephen Dummer may have been in Warwickshire for a time, but by 1650 he was back at Bishopstoke, Hampshire. After their return to England, both Stephen Dummer and Henry Sewall used Henry Short of Newbury as their attorney in relation to property and rents in New England.
