Thomas Trowbridge1

#681, (1598-1672/73)
Pedigree Link

Parents

Children with Elizabeth Marshall (d. about 1641)

Biography

  • Thomas Trowbridge was born in 1598 in Taunton, Somerset, England, either 8 Feb or April.2
  • He married Elizabeth Marshall, daughter of John Marshall and Alice Bevys, on 26 March 1626/27 in Exeter, Devonshire, England.
  • Thomas Trowbridge immigrated to Dorchester, Massachusetts, in 1636.
  • In 1638 Thomas moved to New Haven, Connecticut.
  • In the latter part of 1644 he returned to England and left his 3 youthful sons (Tom age 13, Will age 11, Jim age 8) in charge of Henry Gibbons who apparently reglected his trust.
  • He died on 7 February 1672/73 in Taunton, Somersetshire, England, at age ~75.

Story

Thomas Trowbridge moved from Taunton, England where he was born, to Exeter in Devon and establishd himself there as a mercer. He married an Exeter girl in 1627. "In the Exeter records, his marriage license appears as follows: '26 March 1627 Mr. Thomas Trobridge and Elizabeth daughter of Mrs. Alce Marshall widow married, Jeremy Short parson.'" [William Richard Cutter, "Genealogical & Family History of the State of Connecticut," Vol. I, (Orig. publ. NY, 1911; repr. by Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc., Baltimore, 1997), pg. 210.]

The ancestry of Thomas Trowbridge can be traced back to Hugh Capet,

King of France, died 996 and his wife, Adelaide of Poitou, through Thomas's mother, Agnes Prowse. See Ancestors of American Presidents, pp. 191-192.

Thomas was one of the early settlers of Dorchester, MA, and of New Haven, CT, a merchant engaged in the Barbados trade from Jan. 1637 to 1639. He came from Taunton, Somerset, where his father had established a charity for poor widows which was still being administered in the mid-19th century. He was at Dorchester in 1636, where his wife became a member of the church in 1638. Their son James was baptized there in 1637 or 1638. They are referred to in Dorchester records as "Mr. & Mrs." a distinction confined at that time to persons of gentility. He was likely a member of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company there, the name 'Thomas Strawbridge, 1638' likely a mispelling of his name. Thomas removed his family to New Haven 1639-1641 and appears in the census of 1641. His estate is given at 500 pounds, a large sum for the time, and his household consisted of 5 persons (he, his wife and 3 surviving sons. Records seem to indicate that his wife had died by the end of 1643, possibly in 1641.

He returned to England about 1641-1644 and left his 3 sons in charge of Sgt. Thomas Jeffries who came from the vicinity of Taunton, England and appears in probate records at New Haven, CT and was at Dorchester 1634 and New Haven 1637 or 1638. Thomas sailed for England leaving his houses, goods, lots and estates and chattel in trust with his steward, Henry Gibbons, who kept possession of Thomas's estates at New Haven for many years. It appears that Thomas never returned to New England. In 1662, 18 years later, sons Thomas, William and James obtained power of attorney from their father, making his property over to them jointly and severally, and they sued Gibbons for possession. The suit was finally settled by Gibbons making a deed of property to Thomas, Jr. to take effect after the death of Gibbons.

Thomas, Sr. died at Taunton, England 1672, apparently never having returned to New England.

!"The Ancestry of Lorenzo Ackley & his wife Emma Arabella Bosworth,"

N.G. Parke & D.L.

Jacobus, 1960, pg. 136 speculates that Thomas may have been born

about April, 1598, although provides no basis for the speculation. A

baptism record has not been found. He was the eldest son and the date is

a reasonable possibility.

Biography

  • Nathan Sargent was born on 27 August 1718 in Malden, Massachusetts.
  • Nathan moved from Malden to Leicester about 1741 with his cousin and future brother-in-law Joseph Sargent . Leicester had been settled in the early part of the 18th century largely by people from Malden, MA.1
  • Nathan bought 100 acres for a farm on Chestnut Hil spending £200 on the purchase. The land was in the eastern part of Leicester on the Worcester edge of town. His cousin Joseph had 40 acres joined Nathan's on the west.1
  • In an article by C. C. Denny in 1893 'An Ancient Road, and Reminiscences of Some Families who Dwelt on It' George Washington passed on the road, a post road, on 1 July 1775, on his way to Cambridge to take command of the army and again as President on 22 Oct. 1789. Tradition says that he rested under the shade of a large sycamore tree opposite the Nathan Sargent house. The house was pulled down in 1908.1
  • He married Mary Sargent, daughter of Joseph Sargent and Hannah Bucknam, on 24 June 1742 in Leicester, Massachusetts, Nathan and Mary are first cousins once removed.2
  • His wife Mary died on 28 May 1750 in Leicester, Massachusetts, leaving him a widower at age 31 .3
  • Nathan Sargent married Mary Denny, daughter of Daniel Denny and Rebecca Jones, on 12 February 1750/51 in Leicester, Massachusetts.2
  • His son Samuel in 1775 was a member of Captain Seth Washburn's company of minutemen. On the 19th of April the alarm reached Leicester of the advance of the British troops toward Concord. The company on their march to oppose them halted at Nathan Sargent's house. His wife, finding the members deficient in ammunition, hastily took the leaden weights from the clock, melted them into bullets, and distributed them among the men.4
  • "During the Shay's Rebellion, Luke Day, one of the insurgent captains, had occasion to pass from Worcester through Leicester, on his way to Springfield. The winter was remarkably cold one, and this day was severe for the winter. He was on horseback wore a military dress and carried a sword in his hand. His appearance was imposing and his bearing imperious and haughty. Upon reaching the house of Nathan Sargent, he stopped, dismounted, fastened his horse, and went into the house to warm himself. Laying his hat and sword upon the table and taking a chair to sit down by the fire, he asked Mr. Sargent, as a thing which he was going to take anyway, if he might warm himself by the fire. Mr. Sargent, who had be silently watching his free and easy manner and his imperative air, replied, "Not till I know who you are, these are suspicious times and I must know who I am to entertain." Day, dilating himself to this full height and assuming more than his usual consequence, replied that he was Captain Day. "Then get out of this house," said Mr. Sargent, and seizing Day's hat and sword threw them out into a snow drift, and drove Day after them. Gathering them up, Day resumed his ride, swearing vengeance upon Mr. Sargent which he never found it convenient to inflict." (Anna Hayward Merritt 91570941, "Record of the Families of George Calvin Hayward and Frances Amelia Baker", page 18.)5
  • Nathan Sargent died on 15 June 1799 in Leicester, Massachusetts, at age 80.5
