    Other Events and Attributes:

    • Alternate death: 1657

    Notes:

    He entered the Drapers Company of Coventry in 1591. He was in Manchester from about 1615 to about 1631. By 1634 he was back in Coventry, and in that year sent his son Henry to New England to begin a plantation. He and his second wife Ellen (Mosley) Nugent followed in 1635.

    With his son Henry, he was a founder of Newbury, Massachusetts. He moved to Rowley between 1647 and 1649.

    He appears to have been a troublesome and at times violent person. Both his father's and his mother's wills express hope that he will find the humility to make recompense for his many offenses, particularly (it is clearly implied) against his mother. He contested his mother's will (in which she left him just twelve pence) in litigation that extended over years. The records of Massachusetts Bay between 1638 and 1654 include four accusations against Henry Sewall for battery, and three for interrupting public meetings. And finally, in 1635, the same year that Henry Sewall and his second wife Ellen emigrated to Boston, the authorities of Massachusetts Bay granted him and his wife permission to live apart. She is last seen in the public records on 5 Jun 1638, when Henry was presented by a grand jury for beating her.

    Given the above, it is perhaps not unconnected that his son Henry found reason to return to England in 1646, and to not return to New England permanently -- or bring his own wife and family over -- until 1661, five years after his father died.

    Sometime while in England in the 1650s, he became a minister at North Baddesley, Hampshire. He appears to have been on friendly terms with Richard Cromwell, who briefly became Lord Protector between his father's death and the Restoration.

He served for many years as the chief justice of the Massachusetts Superior Court of Judicature, the province's high court."

    Also historically important are the detailed diaries he kept from 1674 to 1729, recording "the people he met, what he read, what he thought, and the births, marriages, and deaths of family, friends, and acquaintances for virtually his entire adult life. In addition to the diaries, letter books, notations in 'interleaved almanacs,' and the journal of his trip to England in 1688 and 1689 all survive."
