Newfoundland Pyes


In an effort to trace my grandfather’s family back as far as possible, I gathered information from every source I could find, about every person named Pye, I could find. I knew they would not all fall into my family tree. They could be lateral lines or as some Canadians like to say, they could be 42nd cousins. Noticing the amount of births, deaths and marriages I had accumulated, I decided they needed to be shared. So here I begin with the oldest records I could find about the people named Pye.
Most of these came from Vital Statistics Records and Church records. Some of the larger towns and cities also reported on more remote locations. I’ve made every attempt to include parents and locations. On the other hand, I have NO attempt to connect any family to any other family. If you find a connection to your family, I’d love to hear about it. ThePyePlate@gmail.com.

Thomas Prence, Governor of Plymouth Colony


Thomas Prence 1600-1673
         
          Thomas Prence arrived in Plymouth Colony aboard the Fortune in 1621. He was the son of Thomas and Elizabeth Tolderby Prence, of Lechlade, Gloucestershire, England. Thomas was born there, c. 1600, where his father was a carriage maker. After arriving in Plymouth Colony, he married Patience Brewster, daughter of William and Mary (nee unknown) Brewster, in 1624. Patience was b. 1600 in Scrooby, Yorkshire, England and died in 1634. They had four children. Thomas, who was the 4th Royal Governor of Plymouth Colony served three terms in that office, although they weren’t consecutive. In 1644, he was one of 7 families to establish a new settlement at Eastham, on Cape Cod.
         
          His wife Patience, died in 1634 of pestilent fever. Their four children were: Thomas, Rebekah, Hannah and Mercy. Then, in 1635, Thomas married Mary Collier, daughter of William Collier. Of this marriage two children were born, Jane and Mary. After his 2nd wife died he married Apphia Quicke Freeman and then later, Mary (Burr), the widow of Thomas Howes. He had three more daughters but it isn’t certain who the mother was: Judith, Elizabeth and Sarah.
         
          Thomas was considered to be very pious and was quite harsh to those he considered wicked. He was opposed to religious tolerance and led persecutions against the Quakers and the Baptists. He lived in Eastham till 1663 when he moved back to Plymouth. He died in 1673 and is buried there. His will mentioned his fourth wife Mary, seven surviving daughters Hannah and Mercy, Judith Barker, Elizabeth Howland, Sarah Howes, Mary Tracye and Jane Snow wife of Mark Snow, son of Mayflower passenger Constance Hopkins Snow and grandson of Stephen Hopkins. His will also mentioned his granddaughter Susannah Prence, daughter of his deceased son Thomas and his grandson Theophilus Mayo, son of Hannah Prence and her husband, Nathaniel Mayo.        
         
          Rebecca Prence married Edmund Freeman and predeceased her father in 1651. She had two children. Her sister Hannah’s husband, John, was his brother. As mentioned, Hannah married Nathaniel Mayo and had 6 children. Mercy married John Freeman and had 10 children. They are my 8th great grandparents. Jane and Mark Snow lived mostly in Eastham on Cape Cod. They had 10 children. Mary Prence married John Tracye. I have found one daughter for them. Judith married Isaac Barker; Elizabeth married Arthur Howland.
         
          Thomas apparently died leaving no living male heir. He was quite a wealthy man with a personal estate of more than £400 and 11 tracts of land with  100 acres in at least two of them.

Thomas Mayhew 1593-1682


Thomas Mayhew 1593-1682

Thomas is my 9th great grandfather. He was b. Mar 31, 1593 and then baptized on Apr 1, 1593 in Tisbury, Wiltshire, England. His father was Mathew Mayhew and his mother was Alice Barter.

He married first, Abigail Parkhurst about 1620, who died c. 1633. His second marriage, in 1634, was to Jane Gallion (Galland) Paine. The widow of Thomas Paine, a London merchant. They joined The Great Migration to the colonies in 1632, on the Griffin, and settled first in Medford MA. Later they moved to Watertown MA.

Thomas and Abigail Parkhurst had two sons, Thomas and Robert. With his 2nd wife, Jane, four daughters were born, Hannah, Bethiah, Mary and Martha. Martha is the 7th great grandmother of singer Taylor Swift. Jane also had two children by her 1st marriage with Thomas Paine, Thomas Paine and Jane Paine.


Thomas Mayhew Sr. had received a grant of the islands off the southeast coast of Massachusetts from William, Earl of Sterling and Sir Ferdinand Gorges, as shown by the records in the secretary’s office in Albany NY. Nantucket belonged to NY until 1690. He established the first English settlement on Martha’s Vineyard in 1642. Thomas Sr. removed to Martha’s Vineyard in 1647. His assistant Peter Foulger (Folger) is said to be the grandfather of Benjamin Franklin. To secure his ownership of the islands, Thomas paid William Alexander, 2nd Earl of Sterling, 40 pounds and 2 beaver skin hats. There was a conflicting title with Sir Ferdinand Gorges, who was also paid to clear the ownership.

Thomas’ son, also Thomas (called Jr. here for clarification), who was a minister, established strong and equitable ties with the native population. The Wampanoags were treated with dignity and respect. No land was to be taken from them without their consent or without fair compensation. This was so successful that even during King Phillip’s war, the Wampanoags of the islands did not engage in the conflict. They lived with the colonists in peace and without bloodshed.

The aboriginal name was Noë-pe, where “Noë” means ‘in the middle of’ and “pe” means waters. Thus the name means ‘in the middle of the waters’. They were the Pokanuaket Indians, part of the Algonquian family of many tribes that ranged the northern part of the eastern coast of North America, from Hudson Bay to the warmer regions in the south.

In 1657, Thomas Mayhew Jr. sailed for England to make an appeal for more missionary funds. After leaving Boston, the ship was never heard of again. Thomas Jr. was thirty-six. Thomas Sr. made repeated efforts to find a replacement for his son’s ministry to the Indians. No one knew the language or desired to learn it and live on an island. Thomas Sr., at the age of 60, took over his son’s duties as missionary and continued for the next 25 years, traveling many miles by foot to preach, once a week.

In 1659, the patent for the island was still in the Mayhew’s possession. But during the year the sale of the island was accomplished.  Thomas Mayhew confirmed the sale of the island by giving a deed to Tristram Coffin, Richard Swain, Peter Coffin, Stephen Greenleaf, William Pike, Thomas Macy (cousin to Thomas Mayhew), Thomas Bernard, Christopher Hussey and John Swain, who became the First Governor of Martha’s Vineyard. Thomas Macy is the ancestor of the Macys who founded the dept. store.

Thomas Sr. assumed the title Magistrate and, in general, the Island’s population became dissatisfied with his autocratic ways. In 1671, Thomas was given the title of Governor for Life by the agent for the Duke of York. His reign ended with his death in 1682. At this point, his grandson, Matthew Mayhew, had himself appointed Chief Magistrate and wielded as much power as the Governor had.

My descent is from Thomas Mayhew Jr., who was lost at sea in 1657. His youngest child, Jedidah, married Benjamin Smith, Attorney for Edgartown for the years 1687-1692. Benjamin’s parents were John Smith and Susanna Hinckley. His father was a minister from Dorsetshire, England who arrived in the colonies before 1643. John married Susannah and settled in Sandwich, MA. There they had 13 children, Benjamin being the ninth child. Benjamin died in 1720 and Jedidah in 1736. Their third child, Jedidah Smith, married Rev. Samuel Osborn, who was born in Ireland of Scottish parents. He was the minister at Eastham MA, for nearly 20 years, but was eventually ejected for not being sufficiently Calvinistic.

Jedidah and Samuel Osborn’s daughter, Elizabeth, b. c. 1714, married first William Myrick who died at Louisburg, secondly she married William Paine and thirdly, she married Edmond Doane. They had seven children. In 1761, Edmond, Elizabeth and several of their children left Orleans, MA and sailed from the Nathaniel Mayo Landing in Orleans to Barrington NS. Elizabeth’s father Samuel Osborn, and his 2nd wife, Experience Scudder, also made the voyage to Barrington. Samuel did not resume his minister’s role while there and returned to Boston in 1770. He died there in 1774.



From there the family descends as:

Samuel Osborn and Jedidah Smith
Elizabeth Osborn and Edmond Doane
Abigail Doane and Hezekiah Smith (this man is descended from Ralph                  Smith and is not related to Jedidah Smith’s family.)
Stephen Smith and Elizabeth Spinney
Rachel Smith and Samuel Scarr
Mary Ellen Scarr and Henry Carmichael
Nora Carmichael and Jesse Pye – my grandparents
