- [maryabwhiteanc.ged]
He belonged to a family that had long been settled in the southern part of Devonshire. Sometine around 1640, he immigrated to America. It is certain that not all of his children came with him, but one, Mrs Thomas Finson, (who may have been the "Ester" mentioned in a cousin's [Stephen Harwood] will) may have accompanied him, as they were living together in Boston, MA in 1644; and possibly one or two others may have come with him also. He was made a Freeman in Boston on 28 Feb 1643. In Nov 1644 he was mentioned in the will of his son-in-law, Thomas Finson, mariner, late of Dartmouth who died aboard the ship, Gilbert, in September.
The earliest record of him is contained in the will of his cousin, or kinsman, Stephen Harwood,of St. Saviours, Dartmouth, Devon, cooper, who was dying of the plague at the time his will was made, 5 Sep 1627. His daughter, Ester, was named as one of the executrix, so she must have been of legal age in 1627.
The last mention of him was in connection with a legal controversy going on between two of his neighbors, Christopher Lawson and Thomas Beard, in Boston in Sept 1645. He was probably living with his daughter, Mrs. Thomas Finson, who was in Boston.[maryabbywhite.FTW]
