In 1605, John Rowning of Hundon was summoned to answer onto Edward Some, Knight regarding titles.485 He was listed as church-warden of Hundon in 1617 and 1637. His will of 1639 mentions his daughter Mary Ray and grandchildren Simon and Mary Ray. To granddaughter Mary Ray, he left a pioece of land called Longland in Hundon. After his death in 1639/40, his daughter Mary emigrated to New England with her first husband, Simon Ray. | Rowning, John (I50365)

In 1629 he gave his Oath of Allegiance to Kammerer genannt von Dalberg, the owner of the Village of Herrnsheim, and thus became one of its official Citizens. He owned 18€ acres with house and yard and was listed as a watchman in 1627/28 and as a vineyard watchman in the same village in 1629. | Krčausler, Leonhart (I47649)

In 1633, Alice Blower was involved in a dispute with the Sudbury, England Church authorities and on 18 Feb 1633/1634 she was charged with contempt of ecclesiastical laws before the Court of High Commission. She was fined 100 ponds sterling, a ruinous amount that she and her husband could probably not have paid. This must have caused a hasty move to London. On 26 June 1634, Alice Blower "having long since removed from Sudbury where the scandel offense was given, to London, whereby the scandel was taken away, she was dismissed." This episode explains how Alice's daughter came to be married to Richard Brackett in London.
Alice was one of the most prominent midwives in seventeenth-century New England. In 1649, Alice Tilley was charged with some unspecified malfeasance in that occupation, and as a result many of the women of Boston, Dorchester and other communities signed petitions supporting her and asking that she be released from custody. | Frost, Alice (I25715)

In 1635, the five living sons of Francis BUSHNELL left bound for America. Four years later, Francis (the elder) followed with his two daughters Sarah and Rebecca, in the company of Rev. Henry Whitfield, aboard the "St. John." After they had been at sea about ten days, the company formulated a covenant, sometimes called the "Guilford Covenant" or "the Plantation Covenant," upon which his name appears third. They landed at Fair Haven, CT, between the 10th and the 15th of July, 1639. Two months later the deed was signed for their new settlement at Menunkatuck, purchased of the Quinipiac Indians, which they named Guilforde after the shiretown in Surrey from which some of the emmigrants came.
Francis does not seem to have been very active in colony affairs, although his home lot of about three and a half acres on the northeast corner of roads now known as Fair and Broad Streets, was one of the choice locations. Here he resided until his death in 1646. His will was the first such document of its kind to be probated there. !BUSHNELL Family Genealogy, #001 | Bushnell, Francis the elder (I22599)

In 1657 he joined a party who purchased from the Indians a large tract of land on the then frontier beyond Medfield, where they settled and which later became the town of Sherborn. Here he was active in the affairs of the new settlement, and improved a large farm on which he resided until his death, 23 Jan 1717-18. His will dated 10 Dec 1717 mentions son-in-law James Adams and daughter Abigail his wife, to whom he had deeded 18 Feb 1712-13, one-half of his homestead; eldest son Samuel Hill; sons Ebenezer, John and Eleazer Hill; heirs of daughter Abigail Leland; daughter Mary Ellis; heirs of daughter Hannah; heir of daughter Sarah. Executors, son Samuel Hill and Ebenezer Bullard, his wife's son. John Hill married 1st, about 1653, Hannah _______, who was a legatee of the will of Abraham Martin of Rehoboth, and who died in Nov 1690; and he married 2nd, about 1693, Elizabeth, who died 1 Dec 1719, the widow of Benjamin Bullard of Sherborn. | Hill, John Jr. (I11052)

In 1664 Joseph came to Mendon. His house lot of 20 acres was joined on the north by that of Abraham Staple and on the south by John Aldrich, his brother. He was a member of the Society of Friends. | Aldrich, Joseph (I26907)

In 1668/9, King Philip sold to Hugh Cole and others, 500 acres of land in Swansea, on the west side of the river now known as Cole's River. He moved his wife, Mary, and seven children from Plymouth to the new town of Swansea. Swansea had been established in 1667 by the Plymouth Court to accommodate the non-conformist Baptist Church in its search for religious freedom. In the Documentary History of the Town of Swansea Hugh Cole is listed as one of fifty-five signatories to the proposals for the establishment of the town on 22 February 1669. At a town meeting for 18 November 1670 the following item was recorded:
"Item--It is ordered by ye Town that Hugh Cole & Samuel Luther keep possession of ye Town Lands at Mattapoiset against that any shall Intrench upon the same & yt they shall be defended & warranted by ye Town in what they shall do therein."
The next year at a town meeting for 7 February 1670/71 Hugh Cole & Benjamin Alby were chosen to be Surveyors for the Town of Swansea. On 11 May 1671 Hugh Cole was chosen grand juryman and one of three Selectmen for the new town. For the years 1674-75, 1680, and 1683-86 he served as Deputy and Representative for the Town to the General Court of Plymouth Colony.
At the breaking out of the war of 1675, two of Hugh Cole's sons were made prisoners by the Indians and taken to Philip's head quarters at Mt. Hope. Philip ordered them set at liberty, because their father had always been his friend. He also sent word to Mr. Cole that as he could not control his young warriors, he advised him to remove at once to Rhode Island. Mr. Cole did so, and saw his house in flames before he had left it an hour. | Cole, Hugh (I41398)

In 1688, with twelve of their neighbors, Elias and Mary Keach organized the first permanent Baptist congregation in Pennsylvania. This became the Pennypack Church in Lower Dublin Township and Elias Keach was the first pastor.
The Reverend Elias Keach, the first pastor at Pennypack, was ordained by Mr. Dungan. The history of this able minister of the gospel is full of interest. He came from London in 1686, representing himself as a minister, and was asked to preach at Pennypack. Many flocked to hear the young London divine. In the midst of his sermon he suddenly stopped as if attacked by sickness, burst into tears and confessed that he was an imposter. He dated his conversion from that moment. He now retired to Cold Spring, to seek counsel and advice of Mr. Dungan, where he remained a considerable time. He probably studied divinity with Mr. Dungan, who baptised him. He became the pastor at Pennypack in 1687, but returned to England in 1692, where he preached with success until his death, in 1699.
He married a daughter of Judge More, after whom Moreland township was named. His only daughter Hannah married Revitt Harrison, of England, whose son, John Elias Keach Harrison, came to America about 1734, settled at the Crooked Billet, now Hatboro, and was a member of the Southampton Baptist church.

In 1684, the Baptist church in Newport RI sponsored a mission church in Cold Springs, Pennsylvania. This church only remained in existence for 18 years. Still, it was the beginning of Baptist work in Pennsylvania and in a real way the beginning of Baptist growth in America. Elias Keech came to Philadelphia from London in 1688. His father was a well known Baptist minister in England. In fact, his father is remembered for the radical innovation he introduced to the church in 1640, congregational singing. Elias, a young man of twenty, thought it would be fun to dress as a minister in the new land. Because of his imposture and his father's reputation he received several invitations to preach. At his first service his conscience compelled him to confess that he was no minister but merely wore the garb.
The pastor of the Cold Springs church led him to Christ. Then he began to preach in earnest. Soon he built up a circuit of five congregations. Out of those congregations, five years after the Cold Springs church had ceased to exist, came the Philadelphia association, formed in 1707. The Cold Springs church was gone but it had provided the base for the growth for the Baptist movement in our land.

In 1709, Johann Philipp Greisler (39) with his wife, Anna Catharina (39) and two sons, Johann George (8), and Johannes (7) left their home in Guntersblum, Germany to seek a new life in America. (Johann Philip's father was Johannes Kreussler and his grandfather was Leonard Kreussler.) The British Government promised Johann Philipp and Anna Catharina free transportation, forty acres of land, money, clothes, utensils and tools if they would establish a farm in the new colonies.
A total of 3,200 Palatine Germans left England in the spring of 1710 on 12 small ships. The "Lion of Leith" was the first to arrive on June 13, 1710. It was followed the next day by the "Lowestoffe," carrying the British magistrate, Governor Hunter. On July 7, the frigate "Herbert" wrecked off Block Island. Seven more ships arrived prior to July 10. They were the "Fame," "Mary," "Hartwell," "Baltimore," "James and Elizabeth," "Sarah," and the frigate, "Tower." The "Midford" arrived after July 12 and the "Berkley Castle" arrived on August 12, 1710. Sickness and disease caused the death of 470 passengers along the way.
The Greislers (Chryslers) remained in New Amsterdam (New York City) during the winter of 1710 where another son, Johann Henrich Valentin, was born. He was baptized on Sept. 13, 1710 but died as an infant. In 1711 they proceeded up the Hudson River about 90 miles to the settlement at West Camp, NY.
Johann Philipp and Anna Catharina helped establish the West Camp Lutheran Church. According to the Church records written by Rev. Joshua Kocherthal, another son, Johann Hieronymus (Jeronimus) Greisler, was born March 6, 1713 and baptized March 8, 1713 at the West Camp Lutheran Church. He was sponsored by Hieronymus Klein and Johann Planck. Another child, Anna Catharina Greisler, was born October 13, 1714 and baptized October 17, 1714. Her sponsors were Catharina Elisabetha Rau, Appolonia Froelich and Johan Philipp Heller. On December 11, 1733, she married Gabriel Graad at the Catskill Dutch Reformed Church. Johann Philipp and Anna Catharina's last child, Anna Elizabeth, was born about 1716 in West Camp.
Johann Philipp and Anna Catharina remained on the west side of the Hudson at West Camp, Kisketamenesy or Loonenburg until 1733 when Anna Catharina died. She was buried at Loonenburg (now Athens) about 11 miles north of West Camp.
It appears that Johann Philipp remained on the west side of the Hudson for the remainder of his life with his oldest son, Johann George, although one report has him going to Schoharie with his youngest son, Jeronimus, around 1740. At that time, Adam was about eight years old and so accompanied his father, Jeronimus, and family to the wilds of Schoharie. | Krčausler, Johann Philipp (I47332)

In 1737, John Thompson was one of the original fifteen founders of the 1st Baptist Church in Bellingham, the fourth Baptist church started in Massachusetts.
On 5 MAR 1711, he, along with John Corbit and others were permitted to build a saw mill on the town's common, "on Second Bridge (Charles) River, " below the Dedham Tree. This tree was on a bend of the Charles River, a little north of the house of Ellis Bullard in Bellingham. The sawmill was on the north bank of Charles River, a short distance to the northwest from the Bellingham Station on the Air Line Railroad.
John received land in the sixth division, 22 DEC 1713. On 23 NOV of that year, he was paid for sweeping out the meeting house. On 4 MAR 1617, he became a Selectman. He was then Sgt. John THOMSON. On 24 JAN 1718, John , now Ensign, was chosen part of a committee to take care of the town's records.
John received land in the seventh division of land in 1719. As one of the signers of the petition to make part of Mendon into Bellingham, in 1719, he and John Darling and John Marsh were empowered to call the first town meeting anytime the following March. The town was named Bellingham, after Go. Bellingham, and Mendon protested, but to no avail. A 30 x35 foot church was raised 20 MAR 1744 at Bellingham, for the Baptist congregation. At first, they had no settled minister, until 1650, when Elnathan WIGHT, one of John's mother's cousins, was ordained and accepted as their first minister. At that time, Baptist members were still being arrested for not supporting the congregational churches (Puritans).
