3530. Richard PALGRAVE560, 9G Grandfather, son of 7060. John PALGRAVE & 7061. Amy _____. was baptized 29 Jan 1597/8 in Pulham, St. Mary the Virgin, Norfolk, England. Died in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, England, on 30 Mar 1630.
According to Ferris,561 “It was undoubtedly” this Richard Palgrave “who was baptized at Pulham, St. Mary the Virgin, co. Norfolk, on January 29, 1597-8, who was the son of JOHN and AMY (_____) PALGRAVE and grandson of THOMAS and CHRISTIAN (SAYER) PALGRAVE of Pulham. He received a bequest by the will of his father in 1618, and it was undoubtedly he who became a freeman of Great Yarmouth in the same county in 1624, after having served an apprenticeship (of probably six or seven years) under Robert Sayre, who about that time filled the offices of clerk and alderman of that town, and who was probably also a relative of RICHARD and his grandmother CHRISTIAN (SAYER) PALGRAVE. For several generations members of this Palgrave family lived in two adjoining parishes called Pulham, St. Mary Magdalen (or Pulham Market) and Pulham, St. Mary the Virgin, commonly shortened to ‘Pulham Mary.’”

The immigrant John Balch receives a comprehensive treatment in Anderson’s GMB.566 According to Anderson (with square brackets in the original): “Various sources give one or another parish in Somersetshire as the place of origin of John Balch, but these are unsupported by evidence and are little more than guesses [EIHC 1:151, 66:319-20]. Balch was certainly one of the men sent over by the Dorchester Company in the early 1620s to settle a fishing colony in New England, and so he is properly known as one of the Old Planters; the best account of this group of men remains Frances Rose-Troup, John White, the Patriarch of Dorchester [Dorset] and The Founder of Massachusetts... (New York 1930).”567
3554. Thomas GARDNER568, 9G Grandfather. Born abt 1592. Will dated on 7 Dec 1668 at Salem, Massachusetts. Died in Salem, Massachusetts, on 29 Dec 1674. Will proved on 29 Mar 1675. Immigrated in 1624.

3556. Philip VERIN460, 9G Grandfather. Immigrated in 1635 “James” from Southampton. Occupation: roper.
According to Savage,461 Philip Verin (or Veren or Vering) of “Salem, br. prob. of the first Joshua, came 1635, arr. at Boston, in the James from Southampton, in the ship’s clearance call. ‘a roper,’ late of New Sarum, or the city of Salisbury as in mod. times we designate it, bring. w. Dorcas, and ch. perhaps all b. in Eng. Philip, Nathaniel, Hilliard, and Joshua, yet poss. one or more were b. here, for he had sec. w. Jane, wh. join. the ch. in 1640; was freem. 2 Sept. 1635, but twenty yrs. later was imprison. as a Quaker.”
For a comprehensive modern sketch see Anderson 2011.7: 173-176 (GM 1634-1635 T-Y).

3566. Walter TIBBETS570, 9G Grandfather. Will dated on 5 Jun 1651. Died on 14 Aug 1651. Immigrated ? .
According to Savage,571 Walter Tibbets of “Gloucester, the freem. of 19 May 1642, was selectman that and three foll. yrs. d. 14 Aug 1651. His d. Mary, the only ch. whose name is kn. m. 6 Nov. 1643, William Haskell, tho. it may be presum. that he had ano. d. Agnes, for he was, at his d. call. f.-in-law of Edward Clark, her h. and his will of 5 June 1651, mak. w. extrx. names gr. ch. Richard Dike, Joseph and William Haskell, John and [p. 300] Joseph Clark, beside Eliz. Dike, perhaps mo. prob. sis. of Richard, Elinor Luscombe and Salome Trill. I am ign. of the last two.”
3588. John WHITNEY572, 9G Grandfather, son of 7176. Thomas WHITNEY & 7177. Mary BRAY. was baptized on 20 Jul 1592 in St. Margaret, Westminster, Middlesex, England. Immigrated in 1635 “Elizabeth & Anne” from London. Will dated on 3 Apr 1673 at Watertown, Massachusetts. Died in Watertown, Massachusetts, on 1 Jun 1673.
John Whitney’s life is extensively documented, and Smith573 summarizes what is known. Whitney was apprenticed to William Pring of the Merchant Taylors Company in London on 22 Feb 1607/8. His brother Robert was in turn apprenticed to him (John) on 8 Nov 1624. Smith reproduced portions of their apprenticeship documents. John lived on Bow Lane in London, and sent his eldest son to the Merchant Taylors’ School on Suffolk Lane. The family emigrated to New England in Apr 1635 aboard the Elizabeth and Ann, Roger Cooper, master. Their ages at embarkation as quoted in Shattuck’s Memorials and elsewhere are imprecise estimates. John Whitney settled at Watertown and became a freeman on 3 Mar 1635/6. “He was of comfortable social standing and had a better than average education, but claims to a stunning royal descent have been disproven (TAG 10: 84-88).”574 Smith provides many details about his property holdings, a transcription of his will, and an inventory of his estate at the time of his death, along with a facsimile of his signature.
See Anderson 2011.7: 366-372 (GM 1634-1635 T-Y) for a comprehensive sketch, with revisions to some earlier works.
