Eggleston family came from Settrington, Yorkshire, England. Most all if not all the New England Eggleston clan can connect to Bygod Eggleston, b. February 20, 1586/87, Settrington, Yorkshire, England, d. September 01, 1674, Windsor, Connecticut, British Colonies, wife was Mary Wall. I am part of that linage. Here are some notes I have on the Eggleston line in America. Baptized in All Saints Church at Settrington, East Riding, (now North Yorkshire) England 1587-02-20 Settrington, Yorkshire, England (1586 old-style) He came over from England on the ship Mary & John, which sailed from Plymouth, England on 1630-03-20, just a few days ahead of the Winthrop Fleet of 1630. They landed ten weeks later at Dorchester, Massachusetts. About 1635 he moved to Windsor, Connecticut, which is at the confluence of the Farmington and Connecticut Rivers. Windsor is about six miles north of where the city of Hartford stands today. He brought to the colonies with him three sons, James, John and Samuel. A daughter Mary, another son James, and his first wife, are assumed to have died before Bygod left England and little else is known about them. He married again, Mary, and again, her surname is unknown. Together they had seven children; Thomas, Mercy (Marcy), Sarah, Rebecca (Deborah), Abigail, Joseph and Benjamin. Bygod was fined 20 shillings in 1645 for "bequeathing his wife to a young man." The young man, a George Tuckye, was fined 40 shillings, but he took off and didn't pay. Bygod survived his second wife as well, and married for a third and final time. Once again, her name is unknown. No known children came of this marriage. Much uncertainty about his mother.
