I have been looking for Godfreys that Jane who married George Bunker might possibly be related to. So far I have found no Godfreys in the early records of Ipswich or Topsfield, MA. Ipswich, MA was established Aug 5, 1634 and on Oct 18, 1648 a portion was set off for Topsfield, MA. I also have found no record of a marriage for George or the births of his children, Mary, Ann and Martha. I did find this, which I thought was interesting, in Early Records of the Town of Topsfield, Mass. Vol. 1 1659-1739, Published by Topsfield Historical Society in 1917, p. 134: "At a Lawfull meeting ye (4th) of 5th month; 1656 it is herby ordered and Granted that there shall be a way of foure Rod wide from the forde nigh to the House of William Towne: Through the lands of the sd William Towns, William Howard, Jacob Town, Edmund Towne and George Buncker as it is layd out by Francis Pebody, John Redington, Edmun Town, and William Howard: at the Request of the sd. Town. Voted" Even more interesting is that fact that this record is published in the book between records from the year 1704 and the title of the book says the records are from 1659-1739. In the 1931 Bunker Family book, p. 158, Richard Swain, 2nd husband of Jane Godfrey Bunker, it is mentioned that Richard Swain owned land abutting that of John Godfrey of Hampton in Hampton in 1658 and 1660. Also, in 1660, a deed of land abutting that of William Godfrey in Hampton. A William Godfrey entered Trinity College, Cambridge, MA in 1660. And of course, a John Godfrey was accused of being a witch in Andover in 1660 and Haverhill in 1662 and 1665 and acquitted each time. In Essex Co., MA (where Topsfield is) John , Mary, Peter, and Andrew Godfrey gave depositions during the 1660's and 1670's. However, aside from private records cited several times by NEHGS I am not finding any records that say George Bunker's wife Jane was a Godfrey or that Richard Swain's wife Jane was a Godfrey. Evidently the old timers of Nantucket believed that she was Jane Godfrey. Bette
