July 1635 Sailed from London, Middlesex County, England, aboard the Defense, under Master Edward Bostocke; 3 October 1635 Arrived at Boston, Suffolk County, Massachusetts, aboard the Defense, "a very rotten and unfit vessel."
Several other ministers arrived in Boston the same day, including Mr. John Wilson, Thomas Shepard, Hugh Peter, probably Henry Flynt/Flint, Thomas Carter, and William Walton. John Jones himself does not appear on the passenger list, but his wife and children are found as "Sara Jones, 34, Sara Jones 15, Jo[hn] Jones 11, Ruth Jones 7, Theoplhilus Jones 3, Rabecca [sic] Jones 2, Eliz[abeth] Jones 1/2.

He was apparently motivated to leave Concord due to theological disputes. The church members settled in Greenlea, a section across from Black Rock Harbor on what is now the University of Bridgeport campus.
Those who left Concord included:
Reverend John JonesJoseph Middlebrook Thomas BulkeleyJohn Tompkins Daniel BulkeleyEphraim Wheeler Thomas JonesThomas Wheeler, Jr. William BatemanJames Bennett William OdellRichard Lattin John EveartsBenjamin Turney Peter JohnsonGeorge Squire

The town of Scituate granted Richard Foxwell four parcels of land: "the 4 lot on the south side of the Meeting House Land being four acres," 16 October 1634; "a parcel of marshland lying at the east end of his lot," 7 February 1636[/7?]; "[blank] acres of upland," 20 February 1634[/5?]; and "a portion of marshland lying at the south end of his lot of upland," 7 February 1636[/7?] [ ScitTR 1:236].

Migration: 1635 - On 3 April 1635, "Edward Keele," aged 14, was enrolled at London as a passenger for New England on the Hopewell [Hotten 46]
Savage suggested that this passenger may be the same as an Edward Keeley who was a proprietor at New Haven in 1685. However, since no record for either variant of the name has been found in the intervening 50 years, these were undoubtedly two distinct men.

More from 150 YEARS IN THE HILLS AND DALES. Vol 1 The peace of the settlement was interrupted by the Black Hawk uprising and everey one responded. When Major Benaiah Jones received the call from General Brown at 4 o'clock in the afternoon of May 23, 1832, to call out his batallion and march to the defence of Chicago, it took him only until 10 O'clock the following morning muster his three companies. One from Hillsdale County and two from Branch Counties. There was about thirty men eligable to fight in Hillsdale County. Of those going were Major Benaiah Jones, commanding, Ambrose Nicholson, his nephew, Staff officer, Edmund Jones, Quartermaster, James Olds Captain of the 2 nd Company and Dexter Olds, his brother a Corporal When the troops reached Niles, they found that Black Hawk had been captured and the war was at an end. The Indians in Hillsdale County remained friendly but were ordered to go to a Kansas Reservation. They resisted but were forced by soldiers to leave. Pg 218 About 1835 Benaiah and his eldest son. Croesus, decided to go to Texas. They ran out of money on the lower Mississippi and he started building boats at $ 100,00 each and living in the brush. Then in a letter dated 10 January 1835 he wrote about running the rivers. He eventually had two 60 foot boats which were towed up the river and then came down loaded. In Louisiana he built a large home and several buildings for a Mr. Bemen Texas was still in the war with Mexico and was not now a part of the United States but he decided to go there anyway. While there he became a spiritualist and was very devoted. In 1854 he wrote that he was looking for Leonidas and family to return and wished that Claudius would come so he could show him the good life. The feeling between the North and the South became more intense Many issues brought feeling to a white heat. Benaiah Jones's sympathy was with the North and he let everone know. Regardless of veiled threats from his neighbors he never failed to express his convictions. Not even when his life was menaced did he falter his path. In 1863 he was captured by a posse of his political
foes . An outspoken partisan to the last, he was hanged by them for his union sentiments, sacrificing himself for his country's cause as truly as though he had died on the battlefield.
Dexter Olds a land patent for 40 acres in Hillsdale County, Michigan dated 15 September 1835. He received another land patent for 80 acres in Hillsdale County, Michigan dated 20 October 1835. These parcels were adjacent. In 1854 he was still living in Hillsdale Co.

Moses Fargo first appears at New London about 1680, and afterwards at Norwhich in 1690. In 1694 he obtained a grant of land "on the hill above the rock where his house stands." He was one of the proprietors of the town of Norwich who came later, and were added to those of the original. He afterwards, about 1722, appears among the inhabitants of the North Parish of New London, now Montville, where he settled with his family of nine children. His descendants have been quite numerous, and several are still residents of the town (1896). the name of his wife was Sarah ___. Two of his sons, Thomas and Aaron, were baptized by Rev. James Hillhouse and joined the church. | Fargo, Moses (I60159)

Moses Maverick. Served 14 years: 1648, 1649, 1656, 1662, 1663, 1664, 1668, 1669, 1670, 1674, 1675, 1676, 1677, and 1681. Born in Devon, England in 1611. Died in Marblehead in 1686. First came to Marblehead in 1635. He was literate, married and had 11 children. Considered to be the "Father of Marblehead," he came to Town from Dorchester with his brother to join his soon-to-be father-in-law, Isaac Allerton, and Remember Allerton, his daughter, whom he married. Allerton had been assistant governor of the colony and had his share of difficulties, ending with expulsion. Allerton's troubles followed him to Marblehead and ultimately he was asked to leave the Massachusetts Colony again, ending his life in New Haven, Connecticut. But first he transferred ownership of all of his property to Moses, who remained here. Four years later the records indicate that Maverick was permitted to operate a tavern on a year-to-year basis. This clearly complemented his business of selling provisions to his fishermen. Land issues appear with Maverick's name on them: grants of acreage at Salem town meetings, court conveyances of land, and fortifications to protect the Town. And as early as 1647 he had been selected along with others to "carry out the affairs of the plantation." And then, in early 1648 he was named to the first Board of Selectmen. His name was listed first. He ultimately served the Town of Marblehead in various capacities for nearly 50 years. Places named for him: Maverick Street, Maverick Court, Maverick Cove and sometime in 1999 Moses Maverick Square at the northeast intersections of Washington and Pleasant Streets. No other Maverick has ever served on the Board. | Maverick, Moses (I16951)

Mr. Ruggles was a son of a godly father. Thomas, his wife and two children came from England to Roxbury in 1637. They were united with the church soon after coming "being as well known as his brother." Both Thomas and his wife were zealous Christians. Mary joined the church with her husband, adn approved herself a godly Christian by a holy and blameless conversation, being converted not long before their coming from England.
Thomas Ruggles had a great sickness the year after his coming, but the Lord recovered him in mercy. He died about six years later in 1644, "a godly brother." By his will he gives his estates to his wife and children, John, Samuel and Sarah. Eliot places the name Thomas Ruggles on the record of the church next to that of John Graves, and adds, "he died of consumption. These two brake the knot of the Nazing Christians that came from that town [village] in England." | Ruggles, Thomas (I44430)

Mr. W. W. Chapin of Providence says John Elderkin was in Providence about 1650 when Daniel Comstock was there. As Elderkin must have had a family at the time, this would furnish a motive for the migration of Daniel from Providence to New London.
Daniel Comstock, Jan. 29, 1646, acknowledges a free grant of 25 Acres from Providence.
Daniel Comstock, Providence, June 24, 1648, and other young men arrested for giving a false Indian alarm.

Hempstead's Diary, p. 32, says "Old Goodee Comstock died Feb. 21, 1713." This probably refers to Paltiah (Elderkin) Comstock.
"Dec. 17, 1697, Peeter Strickland receipts to his brother-in-law, Daniel Comstock, administrator of the estate of his father, Daniel Comstock, for twelve pounds, for Samuel Young and Thomas Halliox of Southold, L. I., as their wives' part of the estate of their father, Daniel Comstock, deceased."

Esther Clark Wright's "The Loyalists of New Brunswick" listing of the loyalists, did note one Charles Meredith who was in the NCV (North Carolina Volunteers) attached with the New York Volunteers. He settled in Keswick.
Charles received land in Grimsby Township in 1794. Lot 7 con: 10, Date ID 1, Issue Date 1794 1212, Trans Type: FG, Archival Reference RG Series: MF Ms81, Vol. 050 page 055. He is listed in the Sons and Daughters of American Loyalists as being born in Pennsylvania. Charles' son William told the census takers that his father was born in North Carolina. Charles was probably a Methodist. He was one of the early Loyalists to settle in South Grimsby Township, which qualified him and each member of his family for a Land Grant. His name is on the first map on Lots 7-9 conc. IX near Smithville.
In October 1797, Charles signed a letter addressed to D. W. Smith, Acting Surveyor General complaining that the survey of Gainsborough and Grimsby townships wasn't carried out as instructed by a law of 1794. This letter was signed by the following (among others):
Charles Murredeth, Jonathan Griffin, Solomon Hill, Smith Griffin, Nathaniel Griffin, Isa Griffin, Stephen Roy, Hooks Roy, Abraham Griffin, et al.
!West Lincoln: Our Links From the Past 1784-1984: 1985, West Lincoln Historical Society.
Charles served on the Township Council in 1798 and thereafter until 1815, when it may be assumed that he died. He was overseer of Roads in 1798. In 1803 and 1815 Charles was again listed as an overseer of Roads. According to a family historian he was buried at Smithville with members of his family but only one stone inscribed with the Meredith name yet stands in the United Church yard there, and it bears the inscription Abraham Meredith, 1800-1882, Susan, wife of, 1811-1888.
Sons and Daughters of American Loyalists book refers to Charles and his family as being from Grimsby, Niagara, Ontario, Canada. Annals of The Forty, No. 6, Loyalist and Pioneer Families of West Lincoln 1783-1833, compiled by R. Jane Powell also include information about Charles. | Meredith, Charles (I25462)
