?MGC: I am new to the LOCK(E) lists. I feel that I need to step up this research another notch. I have joined the LOCK + LOCKE lists as well as the COLLINS list. For LOCK(E), maybe go to the MARKHAM-UK list and review at least my last weeks posts or more. Which of the two LOCK(E) lists are more concerned with the line of say the William Locke b:13-12-1628 of Stepney, London who m:27-12-1665 Mary Clarke at Woburn MA ?. I recently mentioned that the surname of 'Salter' is also nearby in London. I understand this William Locke's parents are a William Locke b:1602? of London who m. Elizabeth Salter. This William Locke b:1602? parents are one Christopher Locke + Elizabeth \\. Christopher Locke's parents are Matthew Locke + Eleasar \\. Is this correct ?. The name of 'Eleasar' is one that stands out a lot. Also the George Whitmore mentioned in the London lists I put out recently. I am looking for those LOCK researchers who are interested in these lines, and what further info you might have of this area. Master Michael Lock and of the [Levant Company] also spelt [Mighell Locke ?], [Captains of Queen Elizabeth's forces under Sir John Norris in the Low Countries], must be Antwerp area, I think was Queen just after Anne Boleyn ?. He is also the [Master Michael Lock and Master William Winter]. Remember there is the Rev, Samuel Wynter who hopped off to Ireland with one William Markham (!!!). I am not sure who Michael Lock's wife is, I have a side note she might be [Jane Wilkinson ?]. These Lockes, Whitmore families in London, seem to be more associated with the Collins (of London + Bramford Suffolk) family there. You can note that this Michael Lock had a son? Eleazar Lock of Huntingdon (!!!). === http://www.our-genealogy.com/waite/ancestry-locke/sir-william-locke.html [Sir William Locke was employed by Henry VIII., having the charge of his commercial affairs 'both at home and abroad'. In the Cottonian Library, London, are several manuscript letters from him to the King, and to Secretary Cromwell, dated at Antwerp, in 1533-4, 1535 and 1538, relating to some works carrying on at Calais, concerning negotiations with France and about the woollen trade. He was, says Collins, 'Particularly employed by Queen Anne Bullen, [Boleyn] privately to gather the Epistles, Gospels and Psalms, from beyond sea, in which he ran great hazard, some having been secretly made away with, for attempting the same thing.' He had four wives, (see the chart, p. 358-9,) and twenty or more children, many of which died young. The name of his first wife has been variously given by different writers; some say it was Alice Spence, and others Elizabeth Spencer. Anciently the names of Elizabeth and Alice were convertible, one for the other.]. [Michael Lok is son of Sir Wm. Lok, Knight, Alderman of London]. One is for sure, there is an almighty tree waiting here. These Lockes were also Mayors of London, and there is going to be a huge connection to Queen Anne Bullen, and to Norfolk and Cornwall. I see that the 'Low Countries' is often mentioned to be 'Antwerp'. One would want to check Antwerp records all round too. These Lockes and Collins are, as we are finding out, quite connected to the 'Woollen trade'. They are involved in the export of fabrics etc., but maybe also importing on return journeys maybe other fabrics and also spices. These would be Royal merchants employed by the Queen here. Already I feel this Lock and Collins family here in London, will be associated quite a lot even 100 years before others left for New England etc. Sir William Locke's one wife is said to be Anne Spence(r)(or Elizabeth Spencer). I can only suppose this must be a huge royal connection exceptionally close to the Queen Anne Boleyn ?. I don't think he m. much further than a niece of the Queen which is why he is employed by her being related. To 'Bullen' and Locke in Norfolk and related families, and even maybe to Cornwall. [Sir William Locke died at the age of about 64, on the 24th, and was buried in Mercers' Chapel (St. Thomas of Acres) 27-08-1550.]. http://www.google.co.za/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=2&ved=0CBoQFjAB&url=http%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FWorshipful_Company_of_Mercers&ei=Afy6TJKlHoL14AaXk_zwDQ&usg=AFQjCNE-vwa954WQuL2X1MW8ZZEpmG1GzA&sig2=qqNX1qqZBl0XRi-Qm_TvrQ === === === I read somewhere that the word 'Mercer' in 'Spanish? was similar to that of 'Haberdasher'. - S.K.M. - [!!!] =======================

Trish Your Pickney Quinn went to Wayne county Missouri. His wife Mary died or was not listed on the 1860 census but there was a daughter Elizabeth one year old. According to other researchers [Google "Pickney Quinn Collins"], Pickney was shot 1862. The census records Henderson O., William A., Martha E., and Joseph children in the family in addition to Elizabeth. There was also a Berry Collins, also born NC, that stayed close to Pinkney in each census. A good bet they might be related? -------------------------------------------------- From: "Alice Sanders" <sanders922@comcast.net> Sent: Friday, October 15, 2010 2:37 PM To: <collins@rootsweb.com> Subject: Re: [COLLINS] Hezekiah Collins 1810-1886 > The Rev.

?MGC: I thought you might find this of interest: Carrying on from John Bedle of Barnston Essex: [John Watson married Abigail Beadle, daughter of John Beadle]. I don't have all the info. This is the Thomas Watson chap: http://timmybrister.com/2008/03/11/who-is-thomas-watson-2/ [1646: Watson went to St. Stephen's, Walbrook, London, where he served as lecturer for about ten years, and as rector for another six years, filling the place of Ralph Robinson]. So here we find one Ralph Robinson and there is also one John Robinson whom I can only suppose must be of near kin?: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Robinson_%28pastor%29 This is the John Robinson on the 'Mayflower'. [1604: Robinson became pastor of St. Andrew's Church, Norwich]. [1606: He left the Church of England and became a Separatist. Later that year, a group of Puritans in the nearby village of Scrooby formed a Separatist congregation that came to number about one hundred members. John Robinson returned to Gainsborough and became a member of John Smyth's Separatist congregation that met, in secret, at Gainsborough Old Hall under the protection of its Lord, Sir William Hickman and his mother, Rose. However, at some point, he seems to have joined up again with the Separatists in Scrooby. The congregation met at Scrooby Manor, the home of William Brewster. Brewster was the local postmaster and bailiff, and he was instrumental in the formation of the group. He was an old friend of John Robinson as well as a Cambridge alumnus. Richard Clyfton served as their minister, and John Robinson became the assistant pastor when he united with them. Other leaders included John and William Bradford, the latter of whom gave them the name by which they are known to history when he described himself and his followers as "pilgrims and strangers upon the earth.". The congregation initially settled in Amsterdam where Separatists began to settle as early as 1593. The local congregation of Separatists was strife-ridden, and the Pilgrims left Amsterdam after the first year and settled in Leyden. The Rev. John Robinson, M. A., went to settle in New England in 1620.]. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Brewster_%28Pilgrim%29 William Brewster the Pilgrim: So the places of Scooby Lincs and Leydon Holland are important. You can note the surname of Smythe coming all over around these people. [He was the son of William Brewster and Mary (Smythe) (Simkinson) and he had a number of half-siblings. His paternal grandparents were William Brewster and Maud Mann. His maternal grandfather was Thomas Smythe. Scrooby Manor was in the possession of the Archbishops of York. Brewster's father, William senior, had been the estate bailiff for the archbishop for thirty-one years from around 1580.]. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Mary_Woolnoth http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ralph_Robinson_%28clergyman%29 This St. Mary Woolnoth is one hot spot church, it keeps coming up over and over off-list. http://books.google.co.za/books?id=DY8QwrhVw7gC&pg=PA32&dq=john+hawkins+samuel+collins&hl=en&ei=xEuwTLjQHdvNjAeg-uVK&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=5&ved=0CDoQ6AEwBDgU#v=onepage&q=john%20hawkins%20samuel%20collins&f=false Put your mouse over the middle of the book page, press the 'Ctrl' button in and roll your mouse wheel forward and you can zoom in a bit on the small texts.

[John Hawkins was the eldest son and heir of John Hawkins of Braintree]: See here: http://blainewhipple.com/collateral-ancestors/my-hawkins-ancestors-of-essex-co-england/ [John Hawkins III (Alderman of London)] is the son of [John Hawkins was the eldest son and heir of John Hawkins of Braintree]. http://books.google.co.za/books?id=34-WXsbaBscC&pg=PA32&dq=Edward+Collins+Levant+Company&hl=en&ei=bQCxTJiCH8jKjAe31p1A&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CC0Q6AEwAA#v=snippet&q=Edward%20Collyns&f=false This has to be your (+-R) Edward Collyns before he came out to NE. Make good memory of each person mentioned in this list, it will help further. The surname of 'Salter' will also come in and about. For instance, note say Francis Cherye and John Eldred and Nicholas Leate. Go here to url below and then search for Collins in the text and then on the first hit your get [Edwarde Collins clotheworker]. I think this is your same Edward Collins of the Levant Company. Directly below him is [Fraunces Cherie vintener]. Scroll up a bit and you get [Thomas Symonds, Mr. John Eldred, Robarte Coxe grocer, Nicholas Leatt yremonger ]. http://www.sabrizain.org/malaya/library/dawnbritish.txt There nearby is: Thomas Hickock, Richard Wiche, , , , , , . [Collins, Edwarde, clothworker, adventurer.] [M* John Eldred acquainteth this Assemblie that one Thomas Eldred of Ipesw^ a man of good report who hath bene imployed w^ Capten Candishe is willing to be imployed in the voyage and would go as Capten or M*^ of one of the shippes, to whom aunswer is made that the Companie will enterteyn none vntill they see him and speake w^ him, and have willed that M* Eldred shall wiyte vnto him that he thinketh yf he come vp the Company are likelie to enterteyn him.] [Capten Candishe]: I suppose this must be Capt. Thomas Cavendish, and that is the famous Thomas Eldred 'Circumnavigator' of Ipswich Norfolk ?. === === === [To Thomas Bootheby a bill of adventure & supplies]. The James Markham property ['Bearcroft'] in EC was under one William Boosbey 'Tailor' ?. If you read the texts, Edward Collins seems to be shipping manufactured clothes around the world, to Turkey, Russia, etc. James Markham 'Weaver' would be part of the supply to this Edward Collins, he is clearly shipping clothes, and also an adventurer. He must have clocked up some serious voyager miles. He would be basically rich and famous in his day. I can only suppose when he wanted to reside in NE, James Markham's weaver business would have suffered much as a result of this. Due to the closeness of people in this L1 area of London, there would be closeness to other Markham lines etc. Below is same list: http://books.google.co.za/books?id=97cq2UASdIIC&pg=PA176&dq=william+smyth+london+salter&hl=en&ei=Zx-yTLTMEIWUjAen-_FO&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=10&ved=0CFoQ6AEwCQ#v=onepage&q=william%20smyth%20london%20salter&f=false That William Smyth there I can only suspect he must be the William Smyth 'Salter' of London ?. I need time for this, but it is close. But the basic picture is rising here. Also: [Thomas Smithe, Aldermen of London.] I suppose might also be the same [Thomas Smith Governor of the Levant Company.] ?. So it is all the Salters - Aldermen - Mayors - Companies we need to go into here. It is alongside this William Smyth 'Salter' is one John Markham L:1598. We need to know more on [Edwarde Collins, Clothworker + Adventurer]. - S.K.M. - [!!!] ======================

?To DDM'ers: Make sure to print this out for further reference.

?MGC: [Note]: I am sending this incomplete/unfinished posting as is. http://books.google.co.za/books?id=w3rSUVOarfoC&pg=PA1&dq=Matthew+Hopkins+witch+finder&hl=en&ei=2L2nTOe1BtjPjAfH18TDDA&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=10&ved=0CGUQ6AEwCQ#v=onepage&q=Matthew%20Hopkins%20witch%20finder&f=false Read pages 1-6: What this story does not tell you here, is that the old Witch Finder General Matthew Hopkins later on was confronted himself. His one technique was to tie the supposed witch's right thumb to her left foot big toe, drag the person through a river with a rope, and see if they would float, if they floated, they were a wet witch, if they did not float, they were a dead wet witch. So they caught up with Matthew Hopkins and eventually did the same trick to him, he floated. Not sure, but he might have been executed (???). It seems many of these supposed witches apart from being old with the ''Gobber Tooth'', was the neighbourly arguments where one might want to report them as witches etc. http://blog.aurorahistoryboutique.com/matthew-hopkins-englands-witch-finder-general/ http://www.witchtrials.co.uk/matthew.html My identification of these Nathaniel Bacons Bramford + Ipswich area should be correct. You will note that Matthew Hopkins is the son of a vicar James Hopkins. The one pattern from the last url here, is that the vicar never mentions his son Matthew Hopkins (!!!). This must be intentional all round. In the first case, Matthew Hopkins was not born yet. But further much, it would seem that James Hopkins had disassociated himself from his son Matthew Hopkins some what. In James Hopkins will 1634, he makes no mention of his son Matthew Hopkins. Who does James Hopkins make his executors of his will: [Worthy frinds Mr John Gurden of Wenham aforesaid, & Mr Natthaniell Bacon]. I am thinking this might be the father Nathaniel + Mary Bacon ?. There is some grey area of where MH obtained education and might have been outside England. However: [The first factual and physical evidence that he was back and resident in England was found in the Suffolk Record Office, where a conveyance for a tenement in Bramford near Ipswich 1641]. So Matthew Hopkins actually has a piece of land right here in Bramford 1641 (!!!). I have just had to go back and my last post.... [Matthew Hopkins was also able to call on influential family friends to aid and pave the way for his future campaign. In his fathers will, one of the executors was a Nathaniel Bacon (1593-1660) the third son of Edward Bacon of Shrubland Hall. According to the 'Tendring Witchcraft Revelations', he was an extreme Puritan and violently anti-Catholic. In 1643, he was elected the Recorder of Ipswich, and later Recorder of Bury St Edmonds.]. OK, so this Nathaniel Bacon in the will is the NB 'Recorder of Ipswich' d:1660. So, it seems to me, anyway, that this NB 'Recorder' is connected/related, but clearly not the NB (+Mary) of Chattisham (!!!). So in this whole region outside and near to Ipswich, Matthew Hopkins is watching and waiting. Before I forget, the Thomas? Bacon who m. LORE, was her surname 'Clarke' ?. "Every old woman with a wrinkled face, a furrowed brow, a hairy lip, a gobber tooth, a squint eye, a squeaking voice or scolding tongue, having a rugged coat on her back, a skull-cap on her head, a spindle in her hand and a dog or cat by her side, is not only suspect but pronounced for a witch" - John Gaule in 'Select Cases of Conscience'. But Matthew Hopkins should have passed away: [''peacefully, after a long sicknesse of a Consumption'']. The names of the 'imps' were I suppose in many cases, the names of pet animals: [Her confession alledged that she kept and nourished five familiars, Holt - a white kitten, Jarmara - a fat spaniel, Sack and Sugar - a black rabbit, Newes - a polecat and Vinegar Tom - a long legged greyhound with a head like an ox, broad eyes and a long tail.]. I can only assume so far, that Hopkins must have been close to family members too, and some of them also became subsequent to his demise. I can only surmise Hopkins never liked his grandmother. But of good note: Nathaniel Bacon 'Recorder of Ipswich' father is Edward Bacon of Shrubland Hall. But Andrew Bacon uncle of the Nathaniel Bacon of Bramford etc., descend from Thomas Bacon of Bramford. It still seems to me that this Nathaniel Bacon ''of Bramford'', who must be living close to this unfortunate Matthew Hopkins, watching everybody, did a dirty to Nathaniel + Mary Bacon of Chattisham. The Nathaniel Bacon 'Recorder of Ipswich' is probably not the brother of Andrew Bacon of Bramford, but rather in the region of a first cousin or thereabouts. Andrew Bacon's brother might be [Nathaniel (+ Mary) Bacon of Chattisham] ?. Roughly 20 before 1600 the Vere and Bacon families were hugely connected to Earls Colne (Sir Nicholas Bacon). The one John Eldred??? m. a Harlakenden heiress ?. Abigail Collins m:1586 at Bramford to Samuel Bedle, he was the Vicar of Woolverstone. http://books.google.co.za/books?ei=fQKnTK32H9HPjAfbnNHbDA&ct=result&id=LO8QAAAAIAAJ&dq=Abigail+Wagger+Bramford&q=Bramford#search_anchor Is there some chance I can get at least a photo/picture/copy of the pages say from pg. 76-80 of this volume ?. The Daniel Markham's uncle Edward Collins in NE, to whom the Daniel Collins 'Merchant of London' mentions, are obviously related. It is only the John Collens father of Sibbel Colenes who needs to be better known. But more so if you can see it, most people connected to these people are landed up in Hadley CT etc. - S.K.M. - [!!!] =======================

The Mark Mott of Braintree in question is the one who has a son Adrian Mott of Braintree. The primary John Hawkins of Braintree is also Alderman of London, who is also neighbour to Joseph Loomis of Braintree + London. We need to stake out all the people in positions near and around here. Barkham is not Markham, and I am not following just it. It would probably this or close Rev. John Wilson family that into Abraham Markham's side of things ?. This 'Little' family is definitely around, must be sought further. http://books.google.co.za/books?id=_3lnAAAAMAAJ&pg=PA255&dq=john+hawkins+samuel+collins&hl=en&ei=xEuwTLjQHdvNjAeg-uVK&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=8&ved=0CEkQ6AEwBzgU#v=onepage&q=john%20hawkins%20samuel%20collins&f=false [1632: Jan. 18. 42.

In 1618 when he married his first wife Ellen (Elizabeth) Barker (b:1597 d:1621) in Leiden, he was described as a printer of London. It is likely that through his apprenticeship with Beadle that he became acquainted with John Robinson's Separatist church. John Beadle later had an ecclesiastical career beginning in 1623 in Little Leighs, a stronghold of nonconformity. He came under the influence of Thomas Hooker, then lecturer at St. Mary's, Chelmsford. Beadle himself became a leading dissenter in Barnston, where he was pastor from 1632 to 1662. In 1656 Beadle wrote his one book, "A Journal or Diary of a Thankful Christian". Winslow's first wife Elizabeth, was called a "spinster from Chatsum in England", which refers either to Chattisham, Suffolk or Chatham, Kent. She was born around 1597 and was among those who died the first year at Plymouth. Edward and Elizabeth did not have any children together. Both left Leiden with the congregation and sailed aboard the Mayflower in 1620.]: I thought this was interesting stuff: I suppose 'Lees' is probably 'Little Leighs'. This brings you right into the arena of Governor Edward Winslow. So this John Bedle was before a London printer (!!!). The New England Governor was actually apprenticed to this John Bedle (!!!). [Note]: The minister succeeding Dr. Samuel Collins of Braintree is one John Argor (!!!) [Note: Some say 'Igor' ?]. [Thomas Watson (c. 1620-1686).

He studied at Emmanuel College, Cambridge, earning a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1639 and a Master of Arts degree in 1642. Watson lived for a time with the Puritan family of Lady Mary Vere, the widow of Sir Horace Vere, baron of Tilbury. In 1646, Watson went to St. Stephen's, Walbrook, London, where he served as lecturer for about ten years, and as rector for another six years, filling the place of Ralph Robinson. In about 1647, Watson married Abigail Beadle, daughter of John Beadle, an Essex minister of Puritan convictions.

He should be the 'Chamberlain' there alongside one Hervey/Harvey. This William Markham's TL is roughly parallel to that of James Markham of EC. He would be b. just after 1600 sometime or so. He is NOT the WM1621 of NE. But he certainly comes right into this same Ward family of WM1621. This WM of Ipswich EN seems to be both 'Ale Merchant' + 'Chamberlain'. From the above ref.: [John Sym of Leigh in Essex, Clerk]: Which 'Leigh' is this ?. OK Artes, Dale, ler Jakes, +-R, Cosynes, from the above ref., it mentions John Sym of Leigh in Essex (!!!).

This Edward Collins can not be the Edward Collins in NE that is for sure. The NE Ed. Collins would only be b:1603 Bramford, since he has to be the same generation as Martha Collins of Earls Colne. Whatever. This Edward Collins must be better understood further. From my own thoughts and research, there seems to be a missing person anyways, and Bramford records are only partial, since they make no mention of any offspring from the first m. of John Collens 'Sailcloth Maker' etc. [Leavant=Turkey]. I 'think' some of these Levant Company merchants also extended into Russia ?. This Collins tree is affecting the Markham tree vice versa to. Not all your fault +-R. Any single correction in these trees will go a long way. What I am seeing, is that this Collins merchants must have been seriously huge, about as high as it gets in fact. I think that would be well said and written. Huge !!!. Along the lines or close to any other famous navigators of that time. One reason I can think of so far, is that the Daniel + John 'brothers' Collins of Bramford, are not mentioned maybe with a half brother from one of their father's previous marriages ?. It would be from the first m. that there might be at least one son or offspring. This Edward Collins of London merchant living 1601 is a huge clue here.

There is also one Francis Hawkins of Bocking who must relate closely to this John Hawkins of Braintree. I ''think'' both these Little + Hawkins families originate from Norfolk.

Is that correct ?. Off-hand: It is in the region of this John French but probably his son John French that took the freedom oath in MA Bay together with Daniel Markham of Mystick River near to one Whitmore.

My family line comes from Ebenezer and then to his son Jonas Ball (middle name mislabeled as "Brigham" below). I do have the lineage for Henry somewhere, but I'll have to dig to see where it might be. Below are the children of Ebenezer. This line is well recorded because Ebenezer's daughter, Martha, married David White Rogers and they were early followers of Joseph Smith and Brigham Young, eventually moving to Utah. The LDS has a lot of information about that family. I do know that Henry had at least one son named Edward, because a son of Edward (Judge Otis?) wrote a memoir about his grandfather and his service with George Washington. This file belongs to someone other than me, but it's the best I can do for now: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~lzrslong/b1061.htm#P156335 Ebenezer COLLINS4,5 was born on 23 Jul 1762 in Southboro, Worcester, Massachusetts.4,5 He died on 18 Jun 1881.4,5 He is reference number RO1306.

Both brothers returned to the US by 1840, both moving to the Chicago area. (Henry to Lake County @ north end of Chicago, and Ebenezer to Will County near Joliet). Could your Charles Collins be a descendant of one of these brothers? Warren Collins sounds like he could be a grandson of one of these men.

My Grandfather's twin, Patrick Collins, moved to Canada to fight during WWI. i know he stayed there for at least a while although i'm not sure where he ended up. My Grandfather was a spy and so all of his information and his family have been removed from the net. I've requested information from the Army and am waiting to receive it. I've also joined the OSS and am hoping to find some information out through them as well.
