He came from England but probably not aboard the Mary and John which brought the first group of settlers to Dorchester, Massachusetts Bay, in 1629/1630. The baptisms of two of his children in Exeter has been found in 1630 and 1631 which makes it likely he arrived in Dorchester in 1632 aboard the ship Abigail. He became freeman 4 Mar 1632/33. Giles was also granted land that same year.

He came in the ship "Defense" in the summer of 1635.[1] The ship, being old and unseaworthy, sprung a leak in a storm but arrived safely after a 34-day journey.
William settled first in Cambridge, Mass., and in 1652 was one of the original proprietors of Billerica. He was granted lot 24 of 150 acres in the Shawshine grant in 1652.[4] In 1660 he was elected a Selectman, a seat which he held for nine years. In 1661 he was one of a committee to examine children and servants in reading, religion, and catechism. William French was the first Deputy (i.e. representative) of Billerica to the General Court.[5] He was a lieutenant of the militia and afterwards captain. He also served as a selectman and was a deputy to the General Court at Boston in 1663. Evidence of his activity in the cause of Indian instruction is found in a letter written by him to a "godly friend in England" published by the Massachusetts Historical Society (3rd Series, Vol. 2). In this letter (called "Strength Out Of Weakness") he gives a detailed account of the testimony of an Indian convert.

He early learned his father's trade of miller, and became an enterprising business man. "The town intended to grant leave for another mill to be set upon South River in 1663 ; but John Trask so engaged for his father to grind the corn of the inhabitants or have it ground at Lynn, as to have such intention suspended." (Annals of Salem, 1st edition, p. 587.) In 1697 he purchased all the right, title and interest of his nephew, William Trask of Weymouth, in the dam, stream and mill standing upon the North River in Salem. He was afterwards associated in business with his son-in-law, Joseph Boyce, Jr.; and we learn that in 1712 "Leave was granted them to move, their mill on the upper part of North river, down to Spooner's point, if within three years they made and supported a way across the same stream. This of course included a bridge for men and teams." (Annals of Salem, Vol. 1, p. 305) | Trask, John (I17048)
|
| 1576 |
He evidently left home for places unknown at the time of his majority because in 1626 his father did not know if he was dead or alive. There is speculation that he was already in New England in 1626 and that he was the John Holbrook in Dorchester, MA in 1635. John, Dorchester, perhaps brother of Thomas the first, may have removed to Rehoboth about 1643, thence to Weymouth. - Savage | Holbrook, John (I6325)

He had a large family. He kept a public house in Mendon. He was a very large man with a small hand and foot. He weighed over 300 lbs. The casings of the door of his house had to be taken off to get his casket out. (Alice P.) Occupation: blacksmith and triphammer. | Aldrich, Levi (I26684)

He married Cora Amy Morgan on 10/9/1866. (I'm in possession of Cora Morgan's mother's diary and her mother records the marriage on that date.) Cora Morgan was born 1/25/1848 and died 4/18/1943. She never missed voting and once, when she was sick, she had an ambulance come and take her to the polls on a stretcher! I have the newspaper clipping of that. She lived in Watertown, with Aunt Blanche and Uncle Perley, at that time. Also, she always wore a purple feather boa around her neck in the cold weather. - Sherrine Wesley, Valrico, Florida AT736@aol.com | Morgan, Cora Amy (I40092)

He married Elsie Alice Vreeland in Bergen Reformed, Secaucus, Bergen, New Jersey, February 13, 1688. Elsie was born in Of Gamoenipa, Communipaw. She is the daughter of Enoch Michaelson Vreeland and Dircksje Meyers. The Earles of Secaucus page 175 Chapter Two EDWARD EARLE, JUNIOR. Edward Earle, Jr., was born in Maryland, probably in Calvert County, about 1665-1668. No record of his birth or baptism has been found. It is more than likely that he was christened in the Episcopal Church, as that was the church of his parents, and was the leading denomination of Maryland at that time. He was but a child when his parents removed to New York, and could not have been more than ten years old when they settled on the Island of Secaucus in 1676. So that the greater part of his life was spent at Secaucus. It was the home of his boyhood, his youth and his manhood. We cannot say of his old age, for if we have been right in our inferences as the the date of his birth, he did not live to grow old. . . .Certain it is that when still quite a young man, of perhaps twenty-one to twenty three he married a Dutch lass named Elsie (Alice) Vreelandt of Gamoenipa (this is the original of Communipaw) Banns published at the Bergen Reformed Church, Jan 29, 1688 were as follows: "Edward Earle, Young man from Maryland, living on Sikakis Island ,ad Elsje Vreeland from Gemonepa, living at Mingachque (Pamreo). A New York marriage license was issued Feb 13, 1688 to Edward Earle from Maryland lives on Sicakis Isld, and Elsje Vreeland from Gemoenipa, lives at Minkachgee." They were married by Rev Selyns of New York. Elsie held a certificate from the Reformed Church at Bergen, when the marriage is also entered. We do not know whay this double record was made. Edward Str. and his family attended the church at Bergen. and so probably did the family of Elsie as it was the leading church of the region at the time. As their home church, the banns were proclaimed there and the marriage recorded there, though there may have been some reason for obtaining the license in New York. Perhaps a visit to New York constituted their wedding trip. | Earle, Edward Jr. (I33309)

He presumably was married twice: 1st wife's name unknown, 2nd wife Goodeth/Judith ____ who d. 25 Mar 1670. William had 9 children altogether, but mothers not given in publication. William came from England 17 Jun 1635 on the barque "Blessing", commanded by Capt. John Leicestger. He is described on the passenger list as a "cordwainer" [shoemaker], age 26. He was admitted to the First Church of Boston 20 Jun 1640 [some allege that he was a member of Cotton and Increase Mather's church (the "Old North", of Second Church of Boston), but the COPPs kept their membership in the First Church for many years after the Second Church was established].
Soon after arriving in Boston, William acquired a half-acre of land on the waterfront overlooking the Charles River at the head of Prince Street - called the "Mill Field" because of a windmill used to grind corn and grain that was located on it - subsequently called Mill Hill, Snow Hill, then COPP's Hill; maybe named after William, but more likely after his son Elder David COPP.
The North End where William lived became a very prosperous area, declining only after the Revolutionary War. By that time, the COPPs were gone from Boston. William's will of 31 Oct 1662 was admitted to probate 7 Feb 1670. He was a wealthy man for that period, owning two houses and outbuildings in Boston, plus 100 acres "beyond Braintree". | Copp, William (I68589)

| 1587 |
He purchased 196 acres in Bensalem of Joseph GROWDON, adjoining the tracts of his brothers and brothers-in-law, the deed bearing date July 1, 1697. He was an elder of the "Sammeny" church, having joined it at its organization in 1710. His will dated March 16, 1732, proved March 28, 1745, devises to son Abraham the farm he lives on, for life, and if he die without issue it is to go to his surviving brothers and sisters. Some years later the children of Johannes entered into an agreement by which the land was to vest in the heirs of those deceased, even though they did not survive Abraham, and inasmuch as Abraham died without issue in 1781, the subsequent conveyances of the land throw light on the family connections. In 1786 the representatives of Jacob, Rebecca, Christana, and Helena conveyed the land, 160 acres to Jacob JACKSON and later a partition thereof was had between JACKSON and Abraham Harman and Cornelius, sons of Fulkert. | VanDerGrift, Johannes (I38305)

He was Selectman of the town several years and was chosen Deputy to the General Court in 1680-1683-1690-1697. He was a farmer and surely a carpenter as records show: "12-2-1676, William Blake granted liberty to get five loads of Clobord out of the Common Swamp and in 1681, to get 1400 Clobords for his own use."
He was a close friend to Rev. Peter Thacker who said: "Sgt. Blake, Brother Clap, Mr. Taylor and I went out to see for deer, but saw none and, at our return, we supped at Sgt. Blake's." | Blake, William Jr. (I14777)

He removed to Medfield with his father in 1652. His name occurs on the list of taxes in Dedham. Ephraim WIGHT inherited his father's homestead on Green Street in Medfield. Nathaniel PARTRIDGE and Thomas BOYDEN protested against the will "of our honoured father, knowing him to be a religious, good man, but not capable to make a will these seven years past." !History of Medfield, by Tilden:p.512 | Wight, Ephraim (I10204)
