3751	William Trevore was hired by the Pilgrims to stay for one year as a laborer. ("There were also other two seamen hired to stay a year here in the country, William Trevor, and one Ely. But when their time was out they both returned." William Bradford, Of Plymouth Plantation, written 1630-1654). William Trevore had come to New England on the Mayflower, and may have been there in 1619. After fulfilling his work, he returned to England on the ship Fortune in December 1621. Trevore apparently had a big mouth and enjoyed telling his story about America to anyone who would listen. Robert Cushman wrote in a 1623 letter: "William Trevore hath lavishly told [Thomas Weston] but what he knew or imagined of Capawack, Mohegan and the Narragansetts." In the 1630s, he became the captain of his own ship, the William, and took several groups of passengers to America. In 1650, William Trevore testified that in 1619 he had taken possession of Thompson's Island, and at the time it was named "Island of Trevour". Captain Myles Standish testified: ". . . in the year 1620 I came into this country, and I take it in the same year I was in the Massachusetts Bay with William Trevoyre, and then being upon the island lying near Dorchester, called the said island Island Trevoyre. "	Trevore, William (I35343)

3753	William was a contractor and built many of the homes in Thompsonville, Michigan. This is how he came to meet Ada Meredith. His grandson, Al Bryant, remembers meeting his grandfather and recalls that he operated a general store in Fremont, Michigan.

3756	William was born in 1609, came to Boston in the ship "Lyon," with his brother Thomas Harris and Roger Williams, and was one of the six persons who arrived in 1636 at Providence as founders of that place. He moved to the Pawtuxet Purchase, now Warwick, in 1638, and was one of the thirty-nine signers of the compact for good government in 1640. A man of marked, positive character, he became antagonistic to Roger Williams, but was popular in the colony, and filled many important posts of honor and trust. He was commissioner in 1660, 1662-63; deputy in 1665-66 and 1672-73; assistant from 1666 to 1670, and from 1673 to 1676; a member of the town council from 1670 to 1677, and general solicitor in 1671. He made a voyage to England in 1677, in the interest of himself and friends, in the settlement of disputes regarding the proprietorship of lands in Pawtuxet. He subsequently made three other voyages, and on the fourth, in 1679, was taken prisoner by a barbary corsair and carried to Algiers, where he was sold as a slave in the market, February 4, 1680. Subsequently he was ransomed at a cost of twelve hundred dollars, and traveled through France and Spain, reaching London only three days before his death, in 1681. His wife Susanna survived him until the next year. !New England Families Genealogical and Memorial: Third Series, Volume IV Mr. Harris was a strange man, and nothing but strange things could be expected from him. He was taken captive on a voyage to England by an Algerian pirate. He was ransomed after a year and went to England, where he died. !Record of the Borden Family	Harris, William (I27156)
3757	William Wickenden landed at Salem about 1637 and remained there for a time before removing to Providence about 1640 to follow the fortunes of Roger Williams in his newly established settlement at Rhode Island.	Wickenden, William (I27145)
3758	William Wilbur was executor of his fatherâs estate, and inherited his dwelling house and west half of the homestead farm. He also received part of his working tools.	Wilbore, William (I46757)
3759	William, along with his brother John and sister Margeret (Margerie), sailed overseas from England to America. The exact port from which they sailed is unknown, however, history had him as residing in Bedenhall, Essex County, England, prior to the sailing. Though their exact arrival date and port cannot be found, there is in the archives of Conneticut a will of Adam Beebe who died aboard an unknamed ship to America; this will, evidently written while sailing has the signatures of William and John Partridge as witnesses. These signatures match those found in the record's of Medfield, MA. William received land in Medfield, MA, where in the spring of 1651 he was granted six acres for a house-lot on North Street (otherwise known as Bachelor's Row). Evidently he did not build his home until 1653 when he took the freeman's oath, and settled the town. In the annual town meeting of Medfield, year 1655, William was one of three men chosen to "burn the woods": an old Indian practice in which the bushes and small trees in the outermost sections of town were set ablaze in a controlled fire to clear the common pastures for "herd-walks." William was selectman in the years 1666 and 1678. In the year 1675 he subscribed to the "new brick college," and was listed as a proprietor of Medfield, MA. In his will William gave 1/2 his estate to his wife Sarah, and the remainder to his sons John and William. John died in 1719, without a family, so his part of the estate was divided among the other six children. The property soon passed out of the family name. His will is on record at the Suffolk County Probate Court (1686-1692) Partridge, William REF: Medfield Will 13:75 Date: 4 Aug 1692 Evidence 3:55 Probate and Letter 13:74 Inventory 13:76 - American Genealogist Vol. 14 p. 43	Partridge, William (I11939)

3788	Wm. Koen was a Palatine Debtor in 1719, 1721 (next to Jacob Koen), 1722, and 1726 (Livingston Debt Lists). A William Coun was entered on tax rolls in the Middel Ward in 1728/9 (Dutchess County Tax Lists). He lived somewhere in the Rhinebeck Palatinate Colony, perhaps near Upper or Lower Red Hook, where he was taxed during 1746-77. In June 1766 the tax on his place was paid by "Philip Koen," which fact constitutes the only evidence that he may have had a son Philip. He may have lived for a short time in the Middle Ward of Dutchess county, for on January 4, 1729, some "Wm. Coun" was taxed in that ward. It appears likely that he died about 1777-78. This William Kuhn and Elisabeth are mentioned together as late as June, 1762, but there is one indication that Elisabeth may have died before 1771 and that William married Magdalena Hoff (Hoffman?) in his old age as a second wife. Some "Wilhelm Kuhn and wife Magdalena Hoff" were sponsors December 14, 1771 for a child of this William's niece. If this sponsor was her brother William H. instead of her uncle, he must have lost this 1st wife and married again in about 4 months time, a situation which appears rather unlikely.	Kuhn, Johann Wilhelm (I25611)

On March 20, 1732, Edward Clark, John Adams, and Timothy Clark, of Medway, were appointed "to appraise the lands and property of Zachariah Partridge, deceased, in order to settle the same upon his son Asa," who had just attained his majority. Payments were to be made to his sisters "Mary White, deceased, or her heirs," Magdelen Daniels, Sarah Partridge and Phebe Partridge; and his mother was to retain her right of dower for life. On 19 Aug 1734, Asa Partridge died, unmarried, and the property was later distributed among the remaining heirs.	Partridge, Zachariah (I11827)
