another John Wainwright who, according to Nicholas Wainwright (Rin
536), seems to have received a gift of 101 acres in 1609 from the
Virginia Company and who, or another of the same name, was a member
of the Somers Island Company in 1623-24. The first settlement in the
Bermudas, or Somers Islands, was established by Sir George Somers in
1609. In 1612 the Bermudas were granted to an off-shoot of the Virginia
Company which consisted of 120 persons half of whom proceeded to the
islands.

My ancestor in Bermuda was John Wainwright of the Warwick Tribe. He
was on the Governor's Council. He may have been the son of another John Wainwright who according to Nicholas Wainwright (Philadelphia Hist. Soc.)seems to have received a gift of 101 acres in 1609 from the Virginia Company and who, or another of the same name, was a member of the Somers Islands Company in 1623-24.

In 1612 the Bermudas were granted to an off-shoot of the Virginia Company which consisted of 120 persons haly of whom proceeded to the islands.
John's son Jeffrey came to the Philadelphia area probably sometime after New Jersey was restored to England in 1674 following the Dutch war. He may have been required to leave Bermuda because he was a Quaker; in and case he was a Quaker when he was in America. He died in 1689 at Woodbury Creek just across the Deleware River from Philadelphia. Jeffrey's eldest son
Jonathan was the executor of his estate. He had at least one other son, Samuel

2242. Rev Thomas STOUGHTON Sr.
Thomas Stoughton, Judith's father was Presbyterian minster who lectured about his religion, which was not popular with the authorites. He was removed from Naughton for being radical. He was placed in charge of the church at Coggeshall, Essex in 1600 by Lord Rich after "hiding out" for a while to let things settle down (?). He was later removed from Coggeshall in 1606 and placed in "exile". Fred Spickers(spicker@worldnet.att.net) reading between the lines gives him the opinion that Lord Rich probably saved Thomas from being tried as a heretic. He was minister at Timothy St. Nicholas in Cambridge and Ash. He was a tutor at Emmanuel College, Cambridge. He also worked as chaplin of St. Bartholomews Hospital, Sandwich, Kent.
Anyway, an additional bit of evidence that Judith was born and baptized at Great Burstead is that Lord Rich was the main benefactor of this church also.
Came from Langford, England. He sailed from Southampton on April 6, 1635in the ship "James" and arrived in Boston on Monday, August 1635. Withhim were five children. From Charles Hendrick, p. 31: "His marriage isfound recorded as follows: 'John Pike of White Parish, Wilshire, marriedJan. 17, 1613, Dorothy Day, of Langford at White Parish.' They probablylived in Langford, as he was on the passenger list, from Langford. "
Before May 1691: "John Pike presumed to be the eighth in descent from SirRichard, and first of the line in America. He came to the country fromSouthhampton on 6 Apr 1635 on the ship "James" arriving in Boston inAugust 1635. He settled first at Ipswich, removed to Newbury [N.B. ofwhich he is listed as one of the first settlers] and was made freeman in1642. His will Probated 3 Aug 1654, names as follows: Daughters, Dorothym Daniel Hendrick, Ann m John Fiske, Israel? m Henry..... Sons John andRobert. This John is known in records as John the Immigrant. Source FHL#0940606 - Gardner Collection, Noe-Reed,Woodbridge. When John Pike andhis five children landed in this country in 1635 and took up theirresidence on the Parker River, in Newbury, they found waiting for themthe task of subduing the wilderness. Such men as John Pike and his two stalwart sons, John and Robert must have been a valuable addition to the little settlement and have found ample scope for their energy. Of John weno little beyond the names of his family, that he came in the "James"from Southhampton and while called "labourer from Langford" this may havebeen but a deception to conceal a more noted person from tyrannicalregulations. The probabilities are that John Pike was a man of liberaleducation, and much natural ability, not only from his having two sonswho ranked so high in later years, in the History of this colony and thatof New Jersey, but from some evidence of Johns's personal ability. Thecourt records show that John acted as attorney in two cases andsuccessfully in each occasion. He seems to have made his home in his last years with his son, Robert in Salisbury, where he died in 1654, leaving property to the amount of 230 pounds, comprising nearly 15 pound ofclothing. His home, and land at Newbury,and the land at the New Town,Salisbury. His will made two days before his death, leaves his estate tohis sons, and 20 pounds each to his daughters, Dorothy, Ann, and Israel."
he moved to Woodbridge, New Jersey, where he became the leading man ofthe community. One of his sons Joseph, continued to live in Salisbury and Haverhill for some years. When the town of Salisbury was settled in 1638,we find the
who crossed the Merrimac, to dispute with the red man, and the wolf forthe possession of the soil. In a choice of a house lot, fortune seems tohave favored him with two acres in the corner, of the way to Hampton andway to the great neck now the Beach Road. This land being in thepossession of Mr D.M. Deal, here he built his home, where was born to hima family of 3 sons and 4 daughters, who reached mature years. Togetherwith others of the commoners, he recieved allotments of land in all ofthe division, the chief of which was his pastures now the home of the Pikes on the Old Ferry Road. One hundred acres at Batts Hill, a largedivision at Amesbury. This land he mostly disposed of by deed of gift tohis children during his life, leaving only a moderate estate at hisdeath. His home and lot of 3 acres, he gave to his grandson, Robert, sonof Robert a year prior to his decease, who later sold it to hisfather-in-law William Hook Jr. and moved to Exeter. To his younger son Moses, he deeded his pastures, where he later settled, which had been inthe family to this day. Of Robert Pikes' public services I have little tosay leaving to others more compentant the task of eulogising one soemminently entitled thereto. He early took a prominant position in themilitia being a Leiut at 32, captain at 37, Major when 41. During King Phillips war was in command of the forces of Norfolk Co. Mass and those located in the state of Maine. As early as 1650 he was what would now becalled a trial justice, and in 1672 an associate judge of the courts of Norfolk Co. In political life a member of the general court when 32 andof the Govenors' counsel from 1682 to 1696, when having reached the ageof 80 years retired to the private life of the farm. In local affairs, aselectman from 1661 to 1677 and on responsible committees. Of his publicservice, his denunciation of the general court for enacting a law toforbid any but ordained ministers from preaching for which he bought downupon himself to voils of their wrath. This and his defence of the witchs'so far as to question the value of testimony against them, were events inhis life which were far reaching and the right of petition as well as theright of honest and impartial trial have been legacies left by him forwhich the whole country ye the world itself, can do homage to his memory.It has been said, that he was a man of much strength of robustconstitution, tradition states that on the voyage to this country, heasked the captain for an increase of rations. When questioned as to the need for more food, by display of strength, he took a large iron bar andbent it into a "U" form. This so surprised the captain, that his requestwas
two days ride showed that a rugged physique must have been given him. Thelast ten years of his life, was pasted in the quiet of his town, and he died on Dec 12, 1706, at the age of 91.
