Margaret Skipwith

Notes:

All three of the cited visitations (citation details below) agree that Michael Angevine's mother was a Margaret, daughter of Patrick Skipwith of Utterby (both Lincolnshire pedigrees) or of Ormsby (the Surrey pedigree). Maddison's pedigree makes it specifically clear that the Patrick Skipwith in question was the one who was a knight of the shire in 1427 and 1433.

Notes:

The famous Antinomian whose spiritual authenticity and personal charisma terrified the early Bay Colony so thoroughly that, as widely chronicled, they disarmed all her followers and sent many of them into exile. One of TWK's twelve proven "gateway ancestors."

Mrs. married William Hutchinson on 9 Aug 1612 in St. Mary Woolnoth, London, England.

[Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

One of JTS's eleven proven "gateway ancestors."

She was a brave woman. "At Boston, 16 Sept. 1658 the hangman cut off the right ear of Katherine Scott's future son-in-law Christopher Holder (who came from England two years before) for the crime of being a Quaker. Remonstrating against this barbarity, she was thrown into prison and later publicly flogged 'ten cruel stripes with a three-fold corded knotted whip.'" [Collected Papers: Armorial, Genealogical, Historical, citation details below.]

She appears to have returned very briefly to England in 1659-60.

Richard (son of Edward Scott and Sarah Carter) was born before 9 Sep 1605 in Glemsford, Suffolk, England; was christened on 9 Sep 1605 in Glemsford, Suffolk, England; died between 1679 and 1680 in Providence, Providence, Rhode Island. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

He arrived in New England sometime in the 1630s. He is one of TNH's four "gateway ancestors," albeit one about whom the scholarly consensus has been very much in flux. That the William Wentworth of New England was the man baptized in Alford seems almost certain. That the man baptized in Alford had many gentry and aristocratic ancestors seems indisputable. That he had a provable "royal ancestry" was long at issue, but several recent articles in The American Genealogist would appear to have finally sorted matters:

Terry J. Booth, Paul C. Reed, and Nathaniel Lane Taylor, "The English Ancestry of William Wentworth of New Hampshire: Male-Line Ancestry for Five Generations." The American Genealogist 90:161, Jul 2018, and 90:263, Oct 2018.

Terry J. Booth, Paul C. Reed, and Nathaniel Lane Taylor, "Margaret de Brewse, First Wife of Sir Thomas Hawley (d. 1419-20) of Girsby, Lincolnshire." The American Genealogist 91:195, Jan/Apr 2020, published March 2021; 91:286, Jul/Oct 2020, published December 2022.

Terry J. Booth, "The Sothill, Fauconberge, and Greystoke Ancestry of William¹ Wentworth of New Hampshire." The American Genealogist 92:81, Jul/Oct 2021, published December 2022; 92:217, Jan/Apr 2022, published June 2023.

Cumulatively, these articles establish that the immigrant Wentworth's extensive medieval ancestry includes such crowned heads as King John of England; Alfonso IX of León and Galicia; Jeane de Briene, the Crusader "king" of Jerusalem; and (despite previous descents having been disproved) William "The Lion" of Scotland.

"William Wentworth (1616-1697) was a follower of John Wheelwright, and an early settler of New Hampshire. Coming from Alford in Lincolnshire, he likely came to New England with Wheelwright in 1636, but no records are found of him in Boston. When Wheelwright was banished from the Massachusetts Bay Colony for his role in the Antinomian Controversy, he established the settlement of Exeter, New Hampshire, and Wentworth followed him there and then to Wells, Maine. After Wheelwright left Wells for Hampton, New Hampshire, Wentworth went to Dover, New Hampshire, and this is where he lived the remainder of his life. He was the proprietor of a sawmill, and held several town offices, but is most noted for being an elder in his Dover church for nearly 40 years. He had 11 children with two wives, and has numerous descendants, including many of great prominence." [Wikipedia]

He was a signer of the Exeter Combination.

His near descendants included his grandson John Wentworth, Lieutenant Governor of New Hampshire 1717-1730, and New Hampshire governors Benning Wentworth (governor 1741-1767) and Sir John Wentworth (governor 1767-1775); also John Wentworth, Speaker of the New Hampshire House 1771-1778.

A book-length biographical study of him is William Wentworth, Puritan Preacher by Susan Ostberg; Lincoln, Nebraska: iUniverse, 2006.

Notes:

He came to New England in 1633, a year before his parents, along with the Rev. John Cotton and his uncle Edward Hutchinson. Shortly thereafter he returned to England, where he married Katherine Hamby. Upon returning to New England he supported his mother in the Antinomian controversy, for which he was disarmed; he then followed his family to Rhode Island, where he was one of the signers of the Portsmouth Compact, 7 Mar 1638. In 1642 he and John Leverett were sent on an embassy to the Narraganset.

"His name appears in the roll of freemen at Newport in 1641, but he seems to have retained his connection with Boston, for all his children were baptized there from 1637 to 1658. He probably returned there after his father's death. […] Edward Hutchinson became a member of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company in 1638, was Lieutenant in 1654, and Captain in 1657. He served in King Philip's War with the Massachusetts forces as chief officer of cavalry, [and] was mortally wounded in an Indian ambuscade near Wickabaug Pond, West Brookfield, Mass." [John Denison Champlin, citation details below]

"To his honor, he entered into the dissent against the sanguinary law of 1658, for punishing the Quakers with death on their return to the colony after banishment." [History of the Military Company of the Massachusetts, Now Called the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company, citation details below]
