By the above it appears that Rev. Isaac Cushman had quite an estate, considering how money was then estimated.
Such is the best account we can give of the long life of Rev. Isaac Cushman. The Plympton Church Records, as well as other contemporaneous evidence, show him to have been a pious, devoted and successful minister of the Gospel. What higher eulogium can we pronounce on any man than that?
In his earlier days, he was probably engaged--as nearly all were at that period--in the business of agriculture; and in connection with it, was frequently employed in the civil offices of the town of Plymouth--such as Selectman, Deputy in the General Court, Deacon in the Church, &c. Those duties, no doubt, had a tendency to discipline his mind and prepare him for the higher service of Pastor and Teacher.
In the various offices, relations and responsibilities of life, we have every reason to suppose that he acted his part well; that the mission of labor, of trial and of duty entrusted to him by his Creator, was well fulfilled; and to sum up all in a single idea -- that he "lived the life and died the death of the righteous."
Requiescat in Pace. | Cushman, Isaac (I44318)

William and Hazel were married by Martin Hess. A note on the marriage record says: "In war service against Germany."
William was inducted into the Navy July 8, 1918, Second Class Seaman.
"Sometime in October 1918, I went aboard the U.S.S. Lake Champlain and sailed for Scotland. Weather fair all the way. Went through the North Sea. In fact the first cargo ship to sail there since we were at war. Landed in Inverness, Scotland. Stayed there about two weeks and started for the States again. After nine days out, was met with a storm and battled it for six days and the waves rolling at the heighth of 90 - 110 feet. As we neared the USA about six days, we wandered in a heavy fog, unable to get any sounding or bearing of any kind. Met a cargo ship which we got bearing from and sighted land which was South Carolina and our home port was Norfolk, VA. Trip from Scotland to Norfolk was 28 days and 12 hours. Stayed in Norfolk for two weeks and sailed for Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The stay was three weeks, and I made one liberty to Caimanera, a small town and the place was very dirty and I thought the place was not fit for real Americans. Sailed for the States and was discharged from active service 19 Mar 1919." - William Blik (1920)

William Arnold arrived at Massachusetts Bay on his 48th birthday, 24 June 1635. The unnamed ship set sail 1 May 1635 from Dartmouth, Devon, England. William was the leader of the party. Almost all aboard the ship were related either by blood or by marriage and all but two were from Ilchester. He lived for a short time in Hingham, MA, where he was a proprietor in 1635. In 1636 he became associated with Roger Williams and others in the purchase of land in Rhode Island. William removed to Providence, RI in 1636 wheere he had received large tracts of land. He removed to Newport November 19, 1651. He was one of the original members of the first Baptist Church in Providence. William was one of the 13 original proprietors of Pawtuxet, RI. | Arnold, William (I12432)

William Bateman (c1590-27 Apr 1657) immigrated to Massachusetts Bay Colony by 18 Sep 1631, when he attended the inquest on another William Bateman's death in Charlestown. Possibly, the two were father and son. Ancestor William Bateman's English origins are unknown, largely because many Bateman records are extent and present too wide a range of possible parentage. He arrived with his wife, whose name remains undiscovered, and two or three children.
William appears as defendent Sgt. William Bateman in a case 5 Jun 1632. Yet unexplained, the general court revoked William Bateman's freeman oath 14 May 1634; whether this refers to the disceased Bateman is unknown. In 1638, William was granted some planting ground in Charlestown, upon his settling title with the local Indian leaders. William moved to Concord by 1640, and took the freeman's oath 2 Jun 1640. With his son, Thomas, William owned an estate valued at ¹348 in Concord 1641.
Concord had been settled in 1635 largely by Watertown residents; William may have come from there. Alternately, he may have come from Cambridge, where other early Concord settlers originated.
William moved to Fairfield, CT, probably in1644 with Concord minister
John Jones, who brought most of his congregation to Fairfield. The
Fairfield public library lists William among the "Concord Planters" who
settled Fairfield with John Jones. On 28 Jan 1650, William recorded
deeds to a 2.5 acre grant, tract bought of Thomas Sherwood, and a lot in Barrow's Plain. William sold his home lot 4 Feb 1654 to his son-in-law Henry Lyon. William's will 24 Mar 1656 left ¹5 to grandson Joseph Middlebrook upon 18 years and divided the estate, half to son Thomas in Concord and half to Elizabeth's husband, Henry Lyon.
Four known children: William (cc1610-30). Thomas (1614-6 Feb 1669) m Martha Brooks; m2d Margaret Knight (c1635-18 Apr 1709). Thomas stayed in Concord. Margaret m 2d Nathaniel Bell of Concord. Ancestor Elizabeth. Mary m Benjamin Turney, m2d Joseph Middlebrook. Both men were memorialized as Concord Planters at the Fairfield Public Library, which suggests that Mary married Joseph Middlebrook in Fairfield.
Elizabeth Bateman (cc1630-89) married 4 May 1652 Henry Lyon in Fairfield, CT.

William Blake married Agnis Band, Pitminster. She may have been the widow of Richard Band, whose will of 1616, was probated, 8 Jan 1621, and daughter of Henry Thorne of Pitminster. The whereabouts of William Blake between 1624 and 1636 is not known. The baptism of his son, Edward, has not been found. It has been reported that he was on the "Mary & John" in 1630, but there is no evidence of him in New England until 1636. The Cleveland Genealogy claims he sold a house at Aisholt in January, 1630, and went to New England, but no proof is given. Aisholt is only two miles south of Over Stowey, birthplace of his father. The parish records at Aisholt have not been searched. Present evidence indicates he came to Dorchester, MA, no earlier than 14 May 1636, when he was granted land there. He was not made a freeman until 14 Mar 1639, when he joined the First Church of Dorchester. Since he was a prominent person, it is very unlikely he came in 1630 without becoming a freeman earlier.
William Black (probably Blake) was listed as a passenger on the ship "Hopewell" which sailed from Weymouth, Dorset, 8 May, 1635. Eighteen men were listed but their wives, children and servants were not named. On the same ship was listed Thomas Richards, a first cousin of William Blake.

William Blake, born in England and a founder of Agawam, Mass. (Springfield), was a member of the ANCIENT & HONORABLE ARTILLERY COMPANY. In 1641, he was Constable, Selectman, 1645-1647 and 1651 was on committee to build the "new meeting house".

WILLIAM BLAKE joined the ARTILLERY CO., 1646. This was the ANCIENT & HONORABLE ARTILLERY COMPANY OF BOSTON, a famous military organization which has maintained itself and is in exixtence at the present time. William's elder brother, John Blake, a merchant in Boston, joined the Artillery Co. in 1642.

William BLAKE, freeman 14 Mar 1638-9; selectman for the Town of Dorchester 1645, 1647, 1651; "Recorder for ye Town, Clerk of ye Writs for ye Co. of Suffolk," 1656 & continued in the office about 8 years, until he died. His will dated 3 Sep 1661, by which he "gives unto ye towne of Dorchester 20 shillings to be bestowed for ye Repairing of ye Buring place so yt swine & other vermine may not Anoy ye graves of ye saints"
! NEHGR 5:396
The etymology of the name, Blake, was furnished by JOHN H. BLAKE, Esq., of Roxbury, and is as follows:--
"The ancient and respectable family of BLAKE, is of British extraction, and traditionally descended from APLAKE, whose name appears as one of the Knights of King Arthur's round table. Succeeding generations, however, seem to have paid little attention to the orthography of the name, so variously do we find it written. In the first instance, by dropping the initial letter it was rendered P-LAKE, and then, by compression, PLAKE, one entire word, both of which, alike, produce a sound and utterance uncouth and unharmonious. It was corrupted into BLAGUE, to the confusion of all etymological explanation, had it so continued, but chance or design applied a remedy by substituting BLAAKE, and ultimately BLAKE, which latter reading took place many centuries back, and has continued invariably the same from that period to the present day." | Blake, William (I14771)

William came to America with his father-in-law and his wife. Their ship left Dartmouth, Devonshire, England on Friday May 1, 1635 (should
be 1636) and arrived in New England on June 24, 1636 at Hingham, MA. The ship was called the "Plain Joan" and arrived in Boston after a 54 day trip.
William is listed in the first deed executed in the Colony by Roger Williams. Robert Coles lived on the property adjoining. William Carpenter, Robert Coles and William Arnold were three of 14 charter members of the Baptist Church of America established by Roger Williams at Providence on August 3, 1638.
For defense against indian attacks, William Carpenter built a block house on his property soon after settling there. In an Indian attack during King Phillip's War, all the settlers gathered for protection inside the block house, where their brave stand compelled the Indians to retreat. This William's son William Jr. was killed in the attack though, and this William, while busily engaged in repairing the damage to his estate died on Sept. 7, 1685. William Carpenter was one of the original 13 proprietors of Pawtuxet, RI. | Carpenter, William (I27155)

William came to New England in 1638 as a covenant servant of Thomas Boardman. He was bound for seven years service, and on 1 Dec 1638, after having served Boardman for only seven months, he was transferred to john Barker of Marshfield for the rest of the period, to learn the trade of a brick-layer. He was classified as being able to bear arms in 1643. His service with Barker terminated in 1645, indicating that William was twenty-one years of age that year. | Barden, William (I37692)

William came to New England with his brothers Francis and Richard and for a few years resided at Salem, MA. He probably removed to Guilford, CT before their father's death (1646), all coming together.
He was a carpenter and soon removed to Saybrook where his services were much needed. He built the first meeting house in Saybrook about 1646 as well as the second. In 1659/60 he was collector of the town rate; Robert Chapman was ordered by the Court 14 Mar 1660 "to give power and order to ye new Constable at Sea Brook to levy the sum of 9l. 6s. 1d. upon William Bushnell, and likewise yt ye Secretary shal send order to require the said Bushnell to levy the said 9l. 6s. 1d upon ye estates of such at Norridge as a defective in their Rates and to prfect his Accot for ye last year"; and 3 Oct 1661 appointed Sergeant of the train band (militia) and served in that capacity during the Indian wars. He received 6 shillings for mending the drum that called people to worship and meetings. He also received 10 shillings, 6 pence, for making pikes for soldiers of the train band.
On 4 July 1665, Robert CHAPMAN, Wm POST, Francis BUSHNELL, Robert LAY, William BUSHNELL and Abram POST, representing the inhabitants of Saybrook, entered into an agreement with the Mohigan Indians, whereby additional lands were acquired by the town and the former grants confirmed. 12 May 1670 he was appointed Deputy to the General Court. In 1673 he was a leather sealer. By the will of Uncas, Sachem of the Mohigans, dated 24 Apr 1684, 1500 acres of land was devised to him. (This was after William's death).

William P. Babcock, son of Jeremiah, married Rackey L. Lewis, by whom he had five children, four of whom are living, viz.: W. A., in this town on a part of the old homestead; Esther (Mrs. E. Greenfield), with her mother; Lysander W., in West Carthage; and Elizur, in Watertwown. Mr. Babcock died in 1877. His widow survives and occupies the homestead.
From an early 20th century newspaper article (at Flower Memorial Library, Watertown, NY). entitled "Champion Had Many Industries:"
"The Babcock cheese factory, erected by William P. Babcock, was a pioneer in the producing Yankee cheese. It was built in 1862 and at one time accepted milk of between 400 to 500 cows, it is told. In early days a Mrs. E. M. (nee Esther Babcock) Greenfield made the cheese, and did for many years.
It is related that the Babcock family came out of Rhode Island at an early date and first located in Madison County. Jeremiah was the pioneer, and after some years spent in Madison county, came to Champion and located just north of what is now Champion Huddle. Jeremiah had twelve children, eight of whom grew to have families of their own. One of the sons was William P. Babcock. Mr. Williams told how the wife, Mrs. Rockey Babcock, carried on the farm in a successful manner after the death of her husband, William P. Babcock." | Babcock, William Powers (I27091)

William received by his father's will, Plainfield in Over Stowey, Bishop's Lydiard and Padnoller in Spaxton Parish. No subsequent trace of him is found on the Over Stowey parish registers. The Taunton, manor rolls show that a William Blake bought lands in Pitminster in 1586, which would perhaps correspond to his marriage. The well-preserved Pitminster parish registers begin in 1544, but the first Blake entry there is in 1588. This is the same year his name disappeared in Over Stowey. | Blake, William (I14843)

William Squire was rector of Charlton Mackrell, Somerset (3 miles south of Barton St. David), as early as 1545, when he was mentioned in the will of Rev. George Levermore, vicar of Charlton Adam, one mile away, 21 Sep 1545, proved Dec 1545. During the reign of "Bloody Mary", the Catholic Queen (1553-1558), a list was drawn up of all married clergymen in England and they were ordered to divorce their wives. In 1553 Rev. Squire refused.
A record has been found dated 10 April 1554, drawn up at the time of his being deprived of his benefice. By this William "Squyer", rector of Charlton Mackrell, was described as aged 52, as having married Alice Skarlett three years before and was ordered to be deprived of his parish. Squire may possibly be identified with the William Squyer/Squyre recorded as minister at Wellington, Somerset in 1524 and 1532, but he was evidently not a graduate and it is unlikely that his ancestry can be traced further. | Squire, William Rev.
