Al's NOTE:
In 1998 I found extensive leads and writtings at the Peabody-Essex Library and Salem Library and Salem Court house. I believe there is more in Lynn or Lynnfield - if Thomas' church can be located. Henry Waters, local historian, apparently thought that the Marrage license was of importance in in his 1892 research. I have emailed a number of Norfolk, Eng. residents that expressed interest in HOWES genealogy. Cuz Al
TID-BITS from Cape Records (Thanks to Bill Hill, Naples, FL.) The matter of the allotment of lands at Yarmouth was the cause of serious trouble in the early history of the town. The original grant from the Plymouth Court was made to four persons, three of whom Mr. Anthony Thatcher, Mr. Thomas Howes.(Mr. Crowe is the missing third person, I believe, al) These three held lands in trust to apportion them among such persons as should be admitted to settle in the town. They were known as the committees of the plantation. Against their action in parcelling out the land, and finally in March 1647, the Court depated(sp) Capt. Miles Standish to visit the town and compose the differances which had arisen. In May following, after hearing the parties, Capt. Standish made grants of land to various persons (among them a grant of ten acres of upland and eight acres of meadow toward the South sea to William Nickerson) and it was then and there agreed between the committee of the plantation and representative of the town that there should be added to the committee three other persons representing the town and no disposition of lands should thereafter be made without the consent of these three or two of them. Mr. Star, William Nickerson, and Robert Dennis were selected to represent the town for that year. The differences concerning these lands continued for a long time to agitate the people of Yarmouth.

We hit the jackpot with "Ye Worshipful Mr John Humphries". He's a very big fish to be being caught with T. Howes and Adam Hawkes. When the Bay Colony was being formed by it's Board of directors, Mr Humphries was the man they chose to be Winthrop's deputy (vice president so-to-speak) but he declined. He didn't come with Winthrop but did arrive about 1634 with lot's of money, provisions, servants and a wife that was the si to a Earl. He had connections yet he got hauled into court. Same with Hawkes and poss T. Howes. Again, I need to look at those court records to get a flavor of what kinds of things were going on. Was this very normal - Well, the horses got loose and trampled someones crops - that's why we have field drivers. Or was it targeted towards men who had money by men who didn't. I hate to say it but I'm descended from MOULTONs in Salem but not directly from James. Also to the HAINES but not directly from James. HOLGRAVE had an inn. I don't find much else about him. Only mention of Abraham TEMPLE is this lawsuit. Little about Hugh BROWN. Little about Henry SKERRY except he took an exam to get to come to America. Fairly anonymous people who obeyed the law and didn't make trouble and apparently took the troublemakers to court. Or they saw wealthier neighbors as an easy mark. Sent in By Betsey Howes
Sandwich settled in 1637 - "Thomas Dexter and nine of his neighbors had obtained from Plymouth Colony Court, a grant of township in Sandwich . The Dexters, disappointed in the new settlement, moved shortly to Lynn ..." "And This Is Cape Cod" Eleanor Early, pg 18
Here's connection to Rev. Batchelor (Cuz Al)

I'm also going through the NEHGS Register and If you or anyone else has access to maps of early Ipswich there is a description of where Thomas' land was if I'm reading this correctly.
1848, Vol 2, p 256
(in reference to the transfer of land from Thomas Treadwell to Edward Brecke"
Among the papers communicated by Mr Howe, there is an original deed, dated 20 june 1638, setting forth that, "I, Thomas Treadwell, of Ipswich in consideration of the sum of fiftie and one pounds do covenant bargaine & sell unto Edward Brecke of Dorchester all that house and tow acres of lande standings & being on the end of that lott next to the see that was mr Theophilis Wilson" etc. The same lot joins land also "that was Thomas Howes". This deed bears the names of John Glouer and Thomas Starr as Witnesses Also it appears that Thomas Treadwell was an inlaw somehow of the Batchilers. In his will, dated Sept 26 1671 "my sister Bachellor" is mentioned. You probably won't find BRECKE in Ipswich except in deeds. He appears to have speculated on that House and 2 acres next to the sea. All his children were b in Dorchester where he was a proprietor in 1638. He died there `1662. Theophilis Wilton was a minister but I don't know if he was practicing. He was proprietor in Ipswich 1637. It says he sold land dec 28 1641, bought land oct 20 1642. Dorchester proprietor from March 13 1638/9. His land passed to Thomas Treadwell. Does that mean he abandoned the land to Treadwell? For a debt or something. I've never heard of that.
BETSEY HOWES Oct. 18, 2003
On Thomas Howes in Ipswich:
From Ipswich Library (Al Howes, research) –
FOLDER #929.2 “Treadwells in search of Treadwells” - ‘Society of Genealogists, London. – Thomas Treadwell on 28 July 1635 … Embarked from London in the ‘Hopewell’ with certificate from minister of St. Giles Cripplegate’. (Baptism) - See Ships in Salem - above
Batchelder, “Batchelder Genealogy 1898 – Fredrick Clifton Pierce. #929.2
‘ Rev. Stephan Bacheler Xmas 1635 left Lynn to Ipswich Grant of 50 acres – settlement never happened.
1637-38 Winthrop says, “Settlement/Plantation in Mattakese.” The inducement… was undoubtedly the fact that in 1637 a large number of his parishioners removed from Lynn & commenced a settlement in Sandwich near Yarmouth, under a grant from Plymouth Colony. Bachiler’s settlement is said to have been … OLD TOWN one hundred miles from Ipswich where he resided.
Jefferys Neck, Thomas Waters – 1912 #974.45 -
Pg. 1. Nov. 1634 ‘John Perkins’ His home on way to the Neck where Mr. Jame Glover now resides.’
MAP – Pg 13 The Thomas Treadwell Farm. Thomas Treadwell land plot #2 – East Street; abuts John Perkins to West & Robert Paine. . Pg 55/56 March 21, 1660 … Plant North side of the Neck, they grant two acres apiece to twelve individuals: Thomas Treadwell … Theophillis Wilson; … Town orders April 5, 1661 for them to lay out lots.
Jeffries Neck Map (Spring St./ East St to Marsh) – land of John Perkins, Thomas Treadwell, Robert Paine, Island Park Farm.
I believe that the Mr Hawkes that was brought up before the court with T. Howes was Adam HAWKES. He was a proprietor of Lynn in 1638 m 3x came to Charlestown 1634. Process of elimination. All the other other HAWKES were in Ct, Plimouth, etc. He was the only one in the right place at the right time. Still. It should be verified. (from Pioneers of Massachusetts).
