1. Kenelm "Immigrant" Winslow, son of Edward Winslow and Magdalene Oliver, was born on Apr 30, 1599 in Droitwich , Worcestershire, England, died on Sep 12, 1672 in Salem, Essex, Massachusetts, and was buried on Sep 13, 1672 in Salem, Mass.
General Notes: KENELM'S IMMIGRATION TO AMERICA: Kenelm Winslow (1599-1672) our 1st immigrant Winslow ancestor to America: The Winslow family from England emerged in the early 14th century England as a loosely knit clan living in the vicinity of the hamlet of Winslow, in Buckinghamshire (50 miles northwest of London) from which they adopted their name. A brother of Edward Winslow ( a Mayflower passenger and Plymouth diplomat and trade negotiator, and governor) , Kenelm was not in the 1627 Division of Cattle (a sharing of the common assets as the town of Plymouth grew). But he arrived at Plymouth before January 1, 1632-33 when he became a freeman (entitled to vote). Kenelm received various land grants and served on committees and juries.
According to some , land records in Plymouth he may have arrived in 1629 probably on the Winthrop fleet , but came directly from Salem to Plymouth.
One story of Kenelm's arrival was he supposedly came to Plymouth May 15, 1629 from Gravesend in a party of 35 on the second Mayflower- not the same ship as the first one. "Mayflower" was apparently a very popular name for ships in those days! Another more plausable to me concept comes from the Plymouth Colony Records for 1631. In this, Kenelm may have come to Plymouth with his brother Josiah on the "White Angel" in 1631 See the Plymouth Records on Kenelm 1631 below. The Pilgrim Company and assorted others bound for Plymouth mostly came on the first Mayflower in1620, the Fortune in 1621, the Shallop and Sparrow in 1622, the Anne of London in 1623, and the second Mayflower in 1629. Of course, there were other ships that called at Plymouth too - the Little James, the Talbott, and the Handmaid, among others.
-----------------------------------------------------
About 1641 Kenelm moved to Marshfield, where he had received a grant of land at the place called Green's Harbor, March 5, 1637-38. This grant, originally made to Josiah, his brother, he shared with Love Brewster. He left the homestead to his son Nathaniel. He received other grants of land, and was one of the twenty-six original proprietors of Assonet, now Freetown, Massachusetts. He held various town offices; was deputy to the general court from 1642 to 1644 and from 1649 to 1653, eight years in all. He had considerable litigation, as the early court records show.
This homestead he gave to his second son, Nathaniel, and at his death it passed into the hands of his son, Kenelm, who m. Abigail Waterman; their son Kenelm, whom. Abigail Bourne, was obliged to sell the place in consequence of the failure in business of his younger brother Joseph, of Boston, which also involved his ruin. Other lands were granted to Kenelm Winslow at various times, and still others were purchased by him. He was one of the twenty-six original proprietors of Assonet (Freetown), Mass., purchased from the Indians 2 April, 1659, and received the 24th lot, a portion of which is still owned and occupied (1873) by Barnaby Winslow, his gr. gr. gr. grandson "to whom, by heirship, it has descended through successive generations of more than two hundred years."
He married Elinor (Ellen) Worden Newton Adams June 1, 1634. She arrived on the Anne at Plymouth on July 10, 1623. Elinor was a young widow of 25 when she emigrated, marrying John Adams, a carpenter, who died in 1633. Adams had arrived on the Fortune in 1621. Elinor died December 5, 1681 at Marshfield, MA (where she is buried), "being eighty-three years old."
Kenelm d. 13 Sept. 1672, '. seventy-three, Salem, Mass., where he had gone on business [Hon. Luther Hatch, of Marshfield]. According to Rev. L. R. Paige, he died there "apparently after a long sickness; for in his will dated five weeks earlier, 8 Aug. 1672, he describes himself as 'being very sick and drawing nigh unto Death He may have been in Salem on a visit to Mrs. Elizabeth Corwin, daughter of his brother Edward Winslow, or perhaps, for the purpose of obtaining medical aid."

(3) 1631: (2) c. 1629: (1,2,3) Emigrated to Plymouth, MA. (1,2) Came with brother Josiah. (3) Although he first appears of record in
Plymouth in 1633, he is paired in the early years with his brother Josiah WINSLOW, who is known to have arrived in 1631, and so we assume that Kenelm came at the same time. (1) Only about 1/3 of the Pilgrim Church of Leydon came over first, and in 1629 a long hindered portion of the original number came by way of Salem, in Puritan company, and proceeded thence to Plymouth. In was in the "Talbot" and the "Mayflower" (the same that came in 1620 to Plymouth) that 35 of the Leyden people smuggled themselves over. Some servants of the company came in the "Talbot," but the Pilgrims came in the "Mayflower." In 1631 Edward WINSLOW sent from London by the "White Angel" his brother Josiah.

KENELM: CABINETMAKER/COFFIN MAKER, JOINER, PLANTER
Based on "The Cabinetmakers of America", is by Ethel Hall Bjerkie (Garden City, NY, Doubleday, 1957).
It is thought that John Alden and Winslow both worked at cabinetmaking, either in individual shops, or, as is more likely, together. In 1632 Alden had moved to Duxbury and in 1641 Winslow had moved to Marshfield, thus both were near to each other and close to Plymouth.There have been attributed to these two men, either working alone or together, some half dozen oaken court cupboards and twice as many chests made during the years 1650-70.
It is thought probable that the Governor Edward Winslow Chair, made about 1635 and owned by the Pilgrim Society at Plymouth, could have been the work of Kenelm. At the Metropolitan Museum of Art there is the Plymouth Chair, which shows the same type of serration about the seat and across the lower edge of the cresting, indicating the same makers as those of the Plymouth cupboards and chests. At Pilgrim Hall, Plymouth, there is a table believed to have been used by Governor Edward Winslow in his council chamber. It is eight feet long with a single gate at each end. The turnings are early. Could this have been made by Kenelm Winslow? or John Alden? (Antiques, Jan. 1930; Bradford; Willison)
The records of the Worshipful Company of Joiners and Ceilers of London provide the earliest written proof of a London connection to a New England joiner.1 The joiner in question is Kenelm Winslow, who arrived in Plymouth Colony in about 1631.
Evidence of Kenelm's London training is present in the Master's and Wardens' account books kept by the company from 1621 to 1828. In the relevant account citation the text reads: "Item [received] of Kenelme Winslowe late the apprentice of Abraham Worthington a silver spoone and for his admission iij s iiij d" [3 shillings, 4 pence]. It was standard practice for an apprentice finishing his time to make a payment to the Company, along with a gift of a spoon2 (Fig. 1).
& Fig. 1: Citation for Kenelm Winslow in the Masters' and Wardens' Account Book, Joiners' & Ceilers' Company of London, 1621-1828, Guildhall Library, City of London, Ms 8041 (FHL British Film 1068631). Courtesy of Worshipful Company of Joiners and Ceilers, Surrey, England. What is known of Winslow's training? Guidelines established in 1563, in what has come to be known as the Statute of Artificers,3 detailed the various aspects of apprenticeship arrangements. One important distinction was the length of an apprenticeship and the minimum age at which an apprentice could finish his term:
...after the custom and order of the city of London for seven years at the least so the term and years of such apprentice do not expire afore such apprentice shall be of the age of 24 years...4
The record of Winslow's admission is undated but follows records from August of 1624. Winslow was baptized May 3, 1599, in Droitwich, Worcestershire, a date that coincides with his admission to the Joiners' Company approximately twenty-five years later. Assuming Winslow's apprenticeship was a standard sevenyear term, he would have been bound to Abraham Worthington around 1617. Unfortunately, the Master's and Wardens' account books that survive begin with the year 1621, leaving no record of his binding. Yet the name "Kenelm" is distinctive enough, and the dates agree so well that it is safe to proceed with the thinking that this is the Kenelm Winslow, joiner, who lived in Plymouth, and later, Marshfield, Massachusetts. In addition, there are no further known records of a Kenelm Winslow in London.

(V) Kenelm Winslow, son of William (3) Winslow, purchased in 1559 of Sir Richard Newport the estate of Newport's Place, Kemp- sey, Worcestershire, and he had an older and very large estate in the same parish called Clerkenleap. He died in 1607, in the parish
of St. Andrew. He married Catherine .
His will was dated April 14, 1607, proved November 9, 1607.
(VI) Edward Winslow, only son of Kenelm Winslow, was born in the parish of St. Andrew, county Worcester, and died before 1631. He lived in Kempsey and Droitwich, same county. He married (first) Eleanor Pelham, of Droitwich, (second) at St. Bride's Church, London, November 4, 1594, Magdalene Oliver, the records of whose family are found in the parish register of St. Peter's, Droitwich. Children : Richard ; Edward, governor of Plymouth colony; John; Eleanor; Josiah; Gilbert, came in the "Mayflower" ; Elizabeth ; Magdalen; Kenelm, mentioned below.
(I) Kenelm (2) Winslow, son of Edward Winslow, was born at Droitwich, county Worcester, England, April 29, 1599, baptized at St. Peter's Church, May 3, 1599. He was the immigrant ancestor, and came to Plymouth probably in 1629 with his brother Josiah, being admitted freeman January i, 1632-33. He was surveyor of Plymouth in 1640, and was fined ten shillings for neglecting the highways. About 1641 he moved to Marshfield, where he had received a grant of land at the place called Green's Harbor, March 5, 1637-38. This grant, originally made to Josiah, his brother, he shared with Love Brewster. He left the homestead to his son Nathaniel. He received other grants of land, and was one of the twenty-six original proprietors of Assonet, now Freetown, Massachusetts. He was a joiner by trade as well as a planter. He held various town offices; was deputy to the general court from 1642 to 1644 and from 1649 to 1653, eight years in all. He had considerable litigation, as the early court records show. He
died at Salem, whither he had gone on business, September 13, 1672, apparently after a long illness, for his will was dated five weeks earlier, August 8, 1672, and in it he says he is "very sick and drawing nigh unto death." He married, in June, 1634, Eleanor Adams, widow of John Adams, of Plymouth. She died at Marshfield, and was buried there December 5, 1681, aged eighty-three. Children: Kenelm, born about 1635; Eleanor or Ellen, about 1637; Nathaniel, about 1639; Job, mentioned below.
(II) Lieutenant Job Winslow, son of Kenelm (2) Winslow, was born about 1641, died July 14, 1720, at Freetown, Massachusetts. He settled at Swansey, Massachusetts, about 1666. When King Philip's war broke out in 1675, his house was burned. He seems to have been an early settler at Rochester, Massachusetts, as he was there about 1680; he soon moved to Freetown, for in 1686 he was a selectman there. In 1690 he was town clerk and grand juror; assessor in 1691, 1701, 1706 and 1711; deputy to the general court in 1692; moderator of town meeting, 1708 and 1711. He was a leading man of the church as well as in town affairs. He was a lieutenant of the militia, and a shipwright and planter. His will, dated November 12, 1/17, bequeathed land to the town now called the Winslow burying ground. He married Ruth , who survived him. Children, birth records of first six in Swansey, others in Freetown: William, November 16, 1674; Oliver, February 20, 1677; Ruth, September 13. 1678; Richard, March 6, 1680; Hope, May 29, 1681; Job, July 10, 1683; Joseph, about 1685; James, mentioned below ; Mary, April 2, 1689, died young; George, January 2, 1690-91 ; Jonathan.

(III) James Winslow, son of Lieutenant Job Winslow, was born in Freetown, Massachusetts, May 9, 1687, died October 19, 1773. He moved from Freetown to Falmouth, Maine, about 1728, and settled on land granted to him in 1/28, on which he was to erect a mill. He owned a large tract at Portland (then Broad Bay), which he gave to his sons. He was the first Friend in Falmouth and "lent a most important support to the doctrines of that respectable people in this neighborhood." He became a member, with Nathan and Benjamin Winslow, at a monthly meeting, May, 1751. He married (first) Elizabeth Carpenter, (second) intentions dated November 12, 1750, Ruth Gatchell, of Brunswick.

At the time of his marriage to Ellen, Kenelm put up security to pay James Adams, son of his new wife and her deceased husband, John Adams, 5 pounds when he became of age. Plymouth County records show that this sum was paid on 26 December 1651.
Kenelm became a "freeman" in Plymouth on 1 January 1632-33. In 1633, Kenelm and his brother, Josias, bought a dwelling from Francis Eaton with the records showing that Josias sold his half in 1634. After their marriage in June, 1634, Kenelm and Ellen lived in Marshfield and he received various land grants, including one in Yarmouth in 1640 where he participated in the settlement of that town. In 1642, and often later, he was a representative from Marshfield. On 1 June 1647, he was chosen constable in Marshfield and from 1649 onward was frequently a deputy in Marshfield.
"On March 7, 1653-54, Kenelm made a complaint against John Soule for speaking falsely against Kenelm's daughter and 'scandalizing' her in carrying false reports between her and Josias Standish (PCR 3:46)."
Edward Winslow (Junior) 1595-1655 (sailed on the Mayflower)
Educated at King's School, Worcester, apprenticed to London printer John Beadle in 1615. Posted to Lyden in Holland, where he assisted in printing Puritan leaflets. Set sail to Southampton 22 July 1620, and left Southampton on 5 August. The Mayflower arrived in Cape-in-Province town harbour, America, on 11 November.
Due to his education he was sent back to England as an agent of the colony. He returned to America in 1624. Governor in 1633, 1636, and 1644.
He became a commissioner for Cromwell, and died of a fever between Jamaica and Hispaniola in 1655, while on a Civil Commissioner's errand for Cromwell. He was buried at sea.
Miss Thomas, in her memorials of Marshfield, p. 27, says: he 'settled on a gentle eminence by the sea near the extremity of a neck of land lying between Green Harbor and South River. This tract of the township was considered the Eden of the region. It was beautified with groves of majestic oaks and graceful walnuts, with the underground void of tangled shrubbery. A few of these groves were standing within the memory of persons now living (1854) but all have fallen beneath the hand of the woodman.' The homestead he left to his son Nathaniel, and at his death it passed into the hands of his son, Kenelm, who m. Abigail Waterman; their son Kenelm, who md Abigail Bourne, was obliged to sell the place in consequence of the failure in business of his younger brother Joseph of Boston, which also involved his ruin. "Other lands were granted to Kenelm Winslow at various times, and still others were purchased by him. He was one of the twenty-six original proprietors of Assonet (Freetown), Mass., purchased from the Indians 2 Apr 1659 and received the twenty-fourth lot, a portion of which is still or was lately owned and occupied (1873) by Barnabas Winslow, his gr. gr. gr. grandson 'to whom, by heirship, it has descended through successive generations of more than two hundred years.'
"The following letter from Rev. Edward C. Towne to John Winslow, of Brooklyn, is interesting and suggestive, as relating to the time of and circumstances attending his arrival at Plymouth. Mr. Towne had previously published a letter in the New York Tribune, endorcing the discrimination that should be made between the Pilgrims and Puritans, in studies of colonial history. "John Winslow, Dear Sir: It gives me pleasure to answer your note of May 6th. Of Gov. Edward Winslow's four brothers--John,born April, 1597; Kenelm, born April, 1599; Gilbert, born October 1600; and Josiah, born February, 1605; Kenelm and Josiah 'arrived at Plymouth before 1632, and both settled at Marshfield' (Young's Chronicles of the Pilgrims, p. 275). Kenelm died at Salem, 1672, but was while on a visit there. He was from first to last one of the Pilgrims, within the limits of the Old Colony. The exact date of his arrival from England is not known. If he came in 1629, in Puritan company, and perhaps made some stay at Salem before proceeding to Plymouth, it would still be consistent with his being an original Pilgrim with the Mayflower people and their delayoed companions. Only about one-third of the Pilgrim Church of Leyden came over at first, and in 1629 a long hindered portion of the original number came by way of Salem, in Puritan company, and proceeded thence to Plymouth. The Puritan ships, spoken of in my note to the Tribune--the Talbot, George, and Lion--were directly followed by three more--the Pilgrim, Four Sisters and the Mayflower (the same that in 1620 came to Plymouth). It was in the Talbot and the Mayflower that 35 of the Leyden people smuggled themselves over. Gilbert had come with Edward in the Mayflower, 1620, and John the next year in the Fortune, with the second detachment of the Pilgrims. it is likely that Kenelm followed in their track, however he may have taken passage of Puritan company. Possibly he came in the Mayflower itself in 1629 when it formed part of the Puritan Expedition. The next year also the old Mayflower was one of the fleet which brought over Winthrop and his large company and your ancestor may have taken advantage of the opportunity. But however he came it was as a Pilgrim to join the Old Colony. Either he or his son Kenelm got a tract of land in Rhode Island where many of his descendants lived and died. "Of the two ships of 1829 which brought Pilgrims, it must have been the Mayflower rather than the Talbot on which your ancestor came; the record states that 'some servants' of the Pilgrim company were sent in the Talbot, 'but these [the Pilgrims] come in the Mayflower.' No doubt your ancestor made a point , if he had a chance to do so, of coming over in the original Pilgrim ship. The probability is very great also that he took advantage of the first good opportunity, that of 1629, and that he proceeded dirctly to Plymouth, and was not even transiently a resident at Salem. His name does not appear in the lists of freemen within the limits of the Puritan Colony. "In Bradford it is mentioned that in 1631, Edward Winslow sent from London by the White Angel his brother Josiah, and that then began his employment with the Plymouth people. As Josiah was six years younger than Kenelm, it may be presumed that the latter had already come over, and that Josiah was taken as the only brother left. This leaves it almost certain, with the previous probabilities, that it was by the Mayflower, in 1629, that your ancestor came over to join the Plymouth pilgrims. He came to Marshfield on account, doubtless, of his brother Edward's estate, and as Edward was a good deal engaged with Puritans a well as Pilgrims, in the agencies which he undertook in England, it is likely that Kenelm had more or less business and acquaintance among the Puritans and that in this way he was on a visit to Salem at the time of his death. When I next see the Whitmans of Plymouth, who are descendants of Edward Winslow, I will make further inquiry, and will also look at one or two books which I have not at hand here. It is unlikely however, that any thing can be added to the probable conclusions that your ancestor, though not at first, yet came in the Mayflower."
Kenelm's father was a rich salt boiler in the Doritwich area of England. Salt being in great demand at the time for seasoning and meat preserving prove to be lucrative business. Kenelm's family wealth allow him a good education by the standards of the time. Little is know of Kenelm's earlier years, prior to him coming to America, but he must have had exposure to the family business and learn the trade of joiner he used in later life.
Despite this bad year, Kenelm Winslow continued to hold important town and colony offices for another decade. His last year as deputy was 1653, and he virtually disappears from public view at that time, although he lived for another two decades. This was about the time that his two elder and more prominent brothers, Edward and John, left Plymouth Colony; perhaps Kenelm owed his limited success to the presence of these brothers, and once they were gone his own abilities were not sufficient to maintain himself at this level.
Granted one hundred acres at Teticutt, 4 March 1673/4 (pursuant to an order of June 1662) [ PCR 5:141]. In his will, dated 8 August 1672 and proved 5 June 1673, "Kanelme Winslow Senior"wife to be sole executrix and "Major Josias Winslow and my son Kanelme Winslow" to be overseers [ MD 24:41-42, citing PCPR 3:1:56]. The inventory of the estate of Kenelm Winslow, taken 25 September 1672, totalled £87 15s. 4d.; the real estate, unvalued, followed: "one half of the dwelling house and housings and meadow lands and uplands belonging to the said farm he had lived on and now died possessed of in the town of Marshfield"; "one half of all the lands granted him by the Court with the ancient freemen which lieth on the west side of Taunton River either divided or to be divided hereafter"; and "one half of the portion of land granted by the court to him and his brother Josias Winslow upon the account of their brother Gilbert Winslow as he was a first comer" [ MD 24:42, citing PCPR 3:1:57].
Kathy Meyers comment about Kenelms house: I visited the Kenelm Winslow house in Marshfield in 1985. In the 1970s I used to correspond with its former owner, Bishop Lawrence. When he sold the house, we received a mailing from the realtor handling the sale. He used it for many years as a summer home. At the time we visited people by the name of Ozzilinski owned it and were working on a restoration. The house is supposedly "haunted". We were told the ghost's name is Chloe and she was apparently a Winslow, kept in the attic. Interesting stuff!! Ozzilinski's sold it to a developer who I understand has built houses right up to it. When I saw it the original acreage was in tact and you could walk down to the river.
In 1633, Kenelm and his brother, Josias, bought a dwelling in Marshfield, MA from Francis Eaton with the records showing that Josias sold his half in 1634.
Despite these brushes with the law, Kenelm Winslow continued to hold important town and colony offices for a decade. His last year as deputy was 1653, and then he virtually disappears from public view at that time, although he lived for another two decades.
At the time of his marriage to Ellen, Kenelm put up security to pay James Adams, son of his new wife and her deceased husband, John Adams, 5 pounds when he became of age. Plymouth County records show that this sum was paid on 26 December 1651.
Kenelm became a "freeman" in Plymouth on 1 January 1632-33. In 1633, Kenelm and his brother, Josias, bought a dwelling from Francis Eaton with the records showing that Josias sold his half in 1634.

According to

"The following letter from Rev. Edward C. Towne to John Winslow, of Brooklyn, is interesting and suggestive, as relating to the time of and circumstances attending his arrival at Plymouth. Mr. Towne had previously published a letter in the New York Tribune, endorcing the discrimination that should be made between the Pilgrims and Puritans, in studies of colonial history.
"John Winslow, Dear Sir: It gives me pleasure to answer your note of May 6th. Of Gov. Edward Winslow's four brothers--John,born April, 1597; Kenelm, born April, 1599; Gilbert, born October 1600; and Josiah, born February, 1605; Kenelm and Josiah 'arrived at Plymouth before 1632, and both settled at Marshfield' (Young's Chronicles of the Pilgrims, p. 275). Kenelm died at Salem, 1672, but was while on a visit there. He was from first to last one of the Pilgrims, within the limits of the Old Colony. The exact date of his arrival from England is not known. If he came in 1629, in Puritan company, and perhaps made some stay at Salem before proceeding to Plymouth, it would still be consistent with his being an original Pilgrim with the Mayflower people and their delayoed companions. Only about one-third of the Pilgrim Church of Leyden came over at first, and in 1629 a long hindered portion of the original number came by way of Salem, in Puritan company, and proceeded thence to Plymouth. The Puritan ships, spoken of in my note to the Tribune--the Talbot, George, and Lion--were directly followed by three more--the Pilgrim, Four Sisters and the Mayflower (the same that in 1620 came to Plymouth). It was in the Talbot and the Mayflower that 35 of the Leyden people smuggled themselves over. Gilbert had come with Edward in the Mayflower, 1620, and John the next year in the Fortune, with the second detachment of the Pilgrims. it is likely that Kenelm followed in their track, however he may have taken passage of Puritan company. Possibly he came in the Mayflower itself in 1629 when it formed part of the Puritan Expedition. The next year also the old Mayflower was one of the fleet which brought over Winthrop and his large company and your ancestor may have taken advantage of the opportunity. But however he came it was as a Pilgrim to join the Old Colony. Either he or his son Kenelm got a tract of land in Rhode Island where many of his descendants lived and died.
"Of the two ships of 1829 which brought Pilgrims, it must have been the Mayflower rather than the Talbot on which your ancestor came; the record states that 'some servants' of the Pilgrim company were sent in the Talbot, 'but these [the Pilgrims] come in the Mayflower.' No doubt your ancestor made a point , if he had a chance to do so, of coming over in the original Pilgrim ship. The probability is very great also that he took advantage of the first good opportunity, that of 1629, and that he proceeded dirctly to Plymouth, and was not even transiently a resident at Salem. His name does not appear in the lists of freemen within the limits of the Puritan Colony.
"In Bradford it is mentioned that in 1631, Edward Winslow sent from London by the White Angel his brother Josiah, and that then began his employment with the Plymouth people. As Josiah was six years younger than Kenelm, it may be presumed that the latter had already come over, and that Josiah was taken as the only brother left. This leaves it almost certain, with the previous probabilities, that it was by the Mayflower, in 1629, that your ancestor came over to join the Plymouth pilgrims. He came to Marshfield on account, doubtless, of his brother Edward's estate, and as Edward was a good deal engaged with Puritans a well as Pilgrims, in the agencies which he undertook in England, it is likely that Kenelm had more or less business and acquaintance among the Puritans and that in this way he was on a visit to Salem at the time of his death. When I next see the Whitmans of Plymouth, who are descendants of Edward Winslow, I will make further inquiry, and will also look at one or two books which I have not at hand here. It is unlikely however, that any thing can be added to the probable conclusions that your ancestor, though not at first, yet came in the Mayflower."

excerpts from Connecting a London-Trained Joiner to 1630s Plymouth Colony
The discovery of Kenelm Winslow's admission to the Worshipful Company of Ceilers and Joyners of London provide the earliest written proof of a London connection to a New England joiner.1 The joiner in question is Kenelm Winslow, who arrived in Plymouth Colony in about 1631.
Evidence of Kenelm's London training is present in the Master's and Wardens' account books kept by the company from 1621 to 1828. In the relevant account citation the text reads: "Item [received] of Kenelme Winslowe late the apprentice of Abraham Worthington a silver spoone and for his admission iij s iiij d" [3 shillings, 4 pence]. It was standard practice for an apprentice finishing his time to make a payment to the Company, along with a gift of a spoon2 (Fig. 1).
Fig. 1: Citation for Kenelm Winslow in the Masters' and Wardens' Account Book, Joiners' & Ceilers' Company of London, 1621-1828, Guildhall Library, City of London, Ms 8041 (FHL British Film 1068631). Courtesy of Worshipful Company of Joiners and Ceilers, Surrey, England. is known of Winslow's training? Guidelines established in 1563, in what has come to be known as the Statute of Artificers,3 detailed the various aspects of apprenticeship arrangements. One important distinction was the length of an apprenticeship and the minimum age at which an apprentice could finish his term:
...after the custom and order of the city of London for seven years at the least so the term and years of such apprentice do not expire afore such apprentice shall be of the age of 24 years...4
The record of Winslow's admission is undated but follows records from August of 1624. Winslow was baptized May 3, 1599, in Droitwich, Worcestershire, a date that coincides with his admission to the Joiners' Company approximately twenty-five years later. Assuming Winslow's apprenticeship was a standard sevenyear term, he would have been bound to Abraham Worthington around 1617. Unfortunately, the Master's and Wardens' account books that survive begin with the year 1621, leaving no record of his binding.
Edward Winslow was quite prominent in the government in Plymouth, serving as assistant governor and governor before returning permanently to England by 1646.5
Although other joiners came to New England ahead of Kenelm Winslow, he is the first for whom there is a written record that indicates he was practicing his trade. Within a few years he apparently had enough work to bring on an apprentice. On January 1633/4, Samuel Jenny of Plymouth entered into a contract with Kenelm to learn the "joyners occupacon." The assumption is that Winslow could not teach the boy the trade unless he had enough work to maintain him. The contract is as follows:
Jan 6 1633 Sam Jenny, the sonne of John Jenny, by the consent of the said John, hath bound himself apprentise to Kanelm Winslow, of Plymouth, joyner, for the full terme of four yeares, during wch time the said Samuell shall doe faithfull service, as becometh an apprentise, to the said Kanelm. Also the said Kanelm shall exercise the said Samuell in the joyners occupacon, and shall doe his best to instruct him in his said trade, and at the end of his tyme shall dowble appell the said Samuell. But if the said Kanelm shall remove his dwelling from Plymouth, or the liberties thereof, then this covt to be void 6
WINSLOW MEMORIAL.
KENELM1 WINSLOW.
1. KENELM1 Winslow, third son and fourth child of Edward Winslow and Magdalene (Ollyver) of Droitwich, Worcestershire, Eng., was born at that place, on Sunday, 29 April, 1599, and baptized the Thursday following, 3May, 1599; he "dyed at Salem and was buried there 13 Sept., 1672," '. 73 years. He came to Plymouth, probably in 1629 with his brother Josiah1, and was admitted freeman, 1 Jan. 1632-3. In 1640, he was chosen Surveyor in Town of Plymouth, but neglecting highways is fined ten shillings [Ply. Col. Rec.,II, p. 1]. He removed to Marshfield about 1641, having previously received agrant of land at that place, then called Green's Harbor, 5 Mar. 1637-8: "all that parcel of land remaining of that neck of land lying on the east side of the lands lately granted to Josias Winslow, at Green's Harbor, are granted to Kenelme Winslow and Love Brewster, to be divided betwixt them, provided that Kenelme Winslow have that part next adjoining to his brother Josias,upon the conditions the lands there are granted upon" [Plym. Col. Rec., I,78]. Miss Thomas, in her memorials of Marshfield, p. 27, says: he "settledon a gentle eminence by the sea, near the extremity of a neck of land lying between Green Harbor and South Rivers. This tract of the township was considered the Eden of the region. It was beautified with groves of majestic oaks and graceful walnuts, with the underground void of tangled shrubbery. A few of these groves were standing within the memory of persons now living(1854) but all have fallen beneath the hand of the woodman." This homestead he gave to his second son, Nathaniel2, and at his death it passed into the hands of his son, Kenelm3, who m. Abigail Waterman; their son Kenelm4, whom. Abigail Bourne, was obliged to sell the place in consequence of the failure in business of his younger brother Joseph4, of Boston, which also involved his ruin. Other lands were granted to Kenelm1 Winslow at various times, and still others were purchased by him. He was one of the twenty-six original proprietors of Assonet (Freetown), Mass., purchased from the Indians 2 April, 1659, and received the 24th lot, a portion of which is still owned and occupied (1873) by Barnaby4 Winslow, his gr. gr. gr. grandson "to whom, by heirship, it has descended through successive generations of more than two hundred years." Mr. Winslow was styled "joiner," 6 Jan. 1633-4, when Samuel Jenney was indented to him as an apprentice; but he is elsewhere and generally called a
"planter" and was somewhat engaged in the shipping interest. Besides serving his townsmen in minor offices, he was deputy, or representative, in the general court, 1642-44, and 1649-53, eight years.[Plym. Col. Rec.]
There is, among different branches of his descendants, a tradition that he possessed a high spirit or temper which brought him into litigation.
He m. June, 1634, Eleanor Adams, widow of John Adams, of Plymouth.1 She survived him and d. at Marshfield, Mass., where she was buried 5 Dec. 1681, "being eighty-three years old." He d. 13 Sept. 1672, '. seventy-three, Salem, Mass., where he had gone on business [Hon. Luther Hatch, of
Marshfield]. According to Rev. L. R. Paige, he died there "apparently after a long sickness; for in his will dated five weeks earlier, 8 Aug. 1672, he describes himself as 'being very sick and drawing nigh unto Death He may have been in Salem on a visit to Mrs. Elizabeth Corwin, [Curwen] daughter of his brother Edward1 Winslow, or perhaps, for the purpose of obtaining medical aid."
Their children were:
2. 1. KENELM, [6] b. abt. 1635; d. 11 Nov. 1715; m. Mercy Worden; m. 2d, Damaris (???).
3. 2. ELEANOR or ELLEN, [18] b. abt. 1637; d. 27 Aug. 1676; m. Samuel Baker.
4. 3. NATHANIEL, [27] b. abt. 1639; d. 1 Dec. 1719; m. Faith Miller.
5. 4. JOB, [36] b. abt. 1641; d. 14 July, 1720; m. Ruth (???).
Kenelm is a family name of the Digby family and I think you will find that back about the time of Guy Fawkes, the families intermarried. The name tne was Throckmorton. I am a Digby descendant so the name caught my eye. There is a book which may give you some clues. "The Gunpowder Plot" by Antonia Fraser (English) I seem to recall has some info in it which may give you some leads. In the meantime I'll see what I can dig up. I am sure the coming together of these two names is no coincidence. Best of luck. Penny
Some sources say Kenelm Winslow arrived in Plymouth Colony in 1629 or 1630, about nine years after his older brother had made his journey. Plymouth records say that Kenelm came with Josiah on the White Angel in 1631. Marshfield History Book (1990) says that he arrived on the second Mayflower, in 1630. A 1957 article about Kenelm in "The Cabinet Makers of America" reports that he was a passenger on the Mayflower, on her second voyage to the Colonies. This voyage of the Mayflower departed
from London in March 1629 and arrived in Salem on May 15 (or June 30), with many Puritans for the Bay company and a few passengers for for Plymouth. Kenelm was listed a "coffin maker" in the ship's records, a term synonymous with cabinetmaker.
Kenelm and Ellen Winslow remained in Plymouth until they removed permanently to Marshfield in 1641, and settled on his 100 acre Marshfield grant Kenelm Winslow followed his brother, Edward, to the Marshfield area in 1641 when he was granted, in 1636,100 acres of land in the spectacularly beautiful area at the seaward end of Marshfield Neck Road. ( Marshfield Neck Road is Route 139 as it runs east from downtown Marshfield to Winslow Street today). There were five original settlers to this area
called Rexhame, those being Joseph Beadle, Kenelm Winslow, Josiah Winslow, and Thomas Bourne. Kenelm Winslow was the third settler in Rexhame. Kenelm built himself a house on a prime spot, ( what is now called 123 Winslow Street). Their new home nestled on the southwest shoulder of the hill. This early house was later enlarged into the elegant home which stands there today. It is magnificent, with a huge central chimney, six fireplaces, traditional center doorway framed with two windows on each
side, and five windows across the second story. A third-story garret once housed the family spinning equipment, while the servant or slave quarters were located in the rear part of the second floor. The house faces due south and commands a sweeping view of the Green Harbor River, the ocean off Ocean Bluff and Brant Rock, and the South River valley to the west. Kenelm created a far-reaching farm here, clearing the fields for tillage and pasturing his cattle on the fertile land. He laid out an extensive English park around his home. For over 200 years there were only the 5 farms on Rexhane Hill, those belonging to the Beadle, Kenelm, Josiah, Bourne, and Waterman families. Kenelm and Ellen Adams Winslow had four children, all of whom grew up at the house on Rexhame Hill. Two sons moved away. A daughter, Ellen, married Samuel Baker of Marshfield. Nathaniel, born in 1639, married
Faith Miller of Yarmouth and succeeded to the Kenelm Winslow homestead. The Kenelm Winslow family homestead passed to his son Nathaniel, his son Kenelm (b. 1675), his son Kenelm, and his son Kenelm. This last son moved to Kennebec County, ME. where he established a long line of Winslows still found today (1990) in Lincoln and Waldo Counties, ME. The Kenelm Winslow Marshfield (Rexhame) homestead passed through in-laws to Captain Asa Waterman in 1783, and thence to Captain Curtis Goodsell in 1864. Sarah Sherrill bought the Winslow place from Edward Ames in 1906 and it passed to Carrie Sherrill in 1920 and to her brother Edgar Sherrill. In 1939 Episcopal Bishop Frederic Lawrence and his wife Katherine, bought the house which had been held for four years by the Rockland Trust Company. At that time there were about 23 acres of land in the estate. Lawrence sold the place to Richard Osslinski who in turn sold to Stephen Whoriskey in 1988. The old Kenelm Winslow Estate is now
divided into small house lots with new homes. Streets on the property are appropriately named Sherrill Road and Eden Road. The original house has been considerably altered, although covenants drawn up by the Marshfield Historical Commission and the planning board have attempted to set standards of historic preservation.

CHILDREN:
i KENELM, b. say 1635; m. (1) by 1668 Mercy Worden (eldest child b.

(2) by 1693 Damaris Eames, daughter of Mark Eames (in his will of 12 July 1693 Mark Eames of Marshfield bequeathed to "daughter Damaris Winslow" [ Gen Adv 3:93-94, citing PPR 1:172]).
ii ELLEN, b. say 1636; m. Marshfield 20 [December 1656 Samuel Baker] (the marriage record as published is missing all but the name of the bride and the day of the event; the month and the year are suggested by the preceding marriage record, which was for November 1656, and the date of birth of the first child, on 23 March 1657/8 [ MarVR 2, 4]). On 7 March 1653/4 "Kanelme Winslow complained against John Soule for speaking falsely of and scandalizing his daughter in carrying diverse false reports betwixt Josias Standish and her; the which complaint, at the request of G[e]orge Soule, father of the said John Soule, was referred until another Court, to be tried by a jury of twelve of his equals" [ PCR 3:46-47].

iv JOB, b. say 1641; m. by 1674 Ruth _____ (eldest known child b. Swansea 16 November 1674 [ SwVR 21]). (In 1914 Richard Henry Greene rejected the claim that Ruth was daughter of Daniel Cole; he examined several other possibilities, including a placement in the family of STEPHEN HOPKINS , but came to no firm conclusion [ NYGBR 45:2-8; see also MF 6:7, 11].)
ASSOCIATIONS: Brother of EDWARD WINSLOW , GILBERT WINSLOW , JOHN WINSLOW and JOSIAH WINSLOW .
COMMENTS: Although Kenelm Winslow first appears of record in Plymouth in the tax list of 25 March 1633, and was therefore certainly in New England by 1632, he is paired in the early years with his brother Josiah Winslow, who is known to have arrived in 1631, and so we assume that Kenelm came at the same time.
On 4 June 1645 "Kenelme Winslow complained that he had injustice, in that he could not be heard in the suit betwixt John Mynard and himself"; after investigation by the court, he "was committed to prison and fined £10," whereupon he reversed himself and was released from prison and the fine was eventually remitted [ PCR 2:85].
On 5 May 1645/6 "upon hearing of the cause betwixt Roger Chaundler and Kenelme Winslow, for his daughter's clothes, which the said Kenelme detaineth, upon pretense of some further service which he required of her, whereunto the said Roger utterly refused to consent, it is ordered by the Court, that the said Kenelme Winslow shall deliver the maid her clothes without any further delay" [ PCR 2:98].
On the same day "Kenelme Winslow, for opprobrious words against the church of Marshfeild, saying they were all liars, &c., was ordered by the Court to find sureties for his good behavior, which he refusing to do, was committed to prison, where he remained until the General Court following" [ PCR 2:98].
Despite this bad year, Kenelm Winslow continued to hold important town and colony offices for another decade. His last year as deputy was 1653, and he virtually disappears from public view at that time, although he lived for another two decades. This was about the time that his two elder and more prominent brothers, Edward and John, left Plymouth Colony; perhaps Kenelm owed his limited success to the presence of these brothers, and once they were gone his own abilities were not sufficient to maintain himself at this level.
WINSLOW REUNION 9/7/1919
The annual reunion of the Winslow family was held on the lawn surrounding the residence of Hon R. C. Winslow of this place on Thursday September 7, 1919 , and about 200 were present. Representatives of this pioneer family were here from Benezette, Reynoldsville, Driftwood, DuBois, and other points.
The Citizens' Band discoursed music during the forenoon and at the noon hour long lines of tables were spread with a bountiful dinner.
Following the banquet, there was some speech-making, the chairman of the meeting being Edward J Winslow of Benezette. Miss Florence Fishermad the address of Welcome, and George W. Porter gave a talk on "The Past, Present, and Future". W. M. Gillispie Esq, spoke on "The Lessons Our Fathers Taught Us".
After voting to hold the next reunion at Punxsutawney, the following officers were elected: President - George W Porter; Vice President-William Winslow, Benezette; Treasurer-Raymond Winslow; Secretary- W. W. Winslow, Esq.
George W Porter's address:
"I wish to speak of two historic periods that have taken place in Punxsutawney.
This town, perhaps this very spot on which we stand, was where the Six Nations ( the French called them the Iroquois) held their councils of war and plotted the destruction of the white man's home. It is supposed that Logan, the chief of the Mingos, delivered his celebrated speech at this place. Here it was they danced around their council fires and displayed the scalps of the unfortunate victims captured in war. Time has wrought a mighty change and not a vestige of that ancientrace is with us today; the red man who chased the panting deer over these hills and through these valleys has gone never to return; his tomahawk has been buried and his war whoop is heard no more; the smoke from his wigwam mingled with the passing clouds years ago, and his council fires have gone out forever.
A higher civilization is with us today, and we meet not with our hands reeking with the blood from some innocent victim, but to take each other by the hand and become acquainted and speak of the good qualities of the Winslow family. We do not claim to be all saints, but I have not heard of the Winslow blood stealing a horse, robbing a bank, orbreaking in jail.
We find among our numerous progeny many men of courage, intelligence,and ability, and among our ladies both young and old intellect and refinement, and if you would view the beauties of the forest or look upon the fair faces of Patigonians, or travel from the east to the west,from the north to the south, you would not find more beautiful women than those who have the Winslow blood coursing through their veins.
For a few moments allow me to speak of our ancestors. It is not bestto trace back too far, as some one said we might run into a robber such a Robin Hood, a generous robber, who stole from the rich and gave to the poor.
Kenelm, our ancestor, was born in England in 1599. He did not come over on the first trip of the Mayflower, but came a few years after. His brother Edward landed with the Plymouth fathers in 1620, and he wasa leading light among them. His wife died a short time after they landed and a few months after his wife died he married Susan White, a widow, who was the mother to her first husband of the first white child born in New England. Kenelm Winslow had several children. The youngest son, named Job, born in 1631. He was a civil as well as an army officer. Job had eight children, one whose name was James, our ancestor, born in 1687. He moved to Maine in 1728, was a farmer and a Quakerin belief. He had a son named James born in 1725, just 100 years before my mother was born. He had a family of 12 children and was also aQuaker in belief. He was the father of Carpenter Winslow, who lies in the old cemetery and was buried in 1827. He is the ancestor of allthe Winslows in this and surrounding counties. He was born in 1766, ten years before the Revolution. He had nine sons, five of whom came with him on a vessel to Baltimore and from thence by the way of Clearfield to Punxsutawney, and here we are today, proud of our ancestors, for we find in history a long list of eminent men, ministers, missionaries and statesmen and from the days of Edward down through the brilliant career of Rear Admiral Winslow who commanded the Kearsage, cruisingalong the coast of France. He found in port the rebel gunboat Alabama. The commander of the Alabama sent Winslow a challenge which was readily accepted. Sailing into neutral waters they had a terrific battle, but our gallant commander sunk the rebel gunboat in 60 minutes.
Our ancestors were home builders. They came to this valley and together with the Hoovers, Jenks, Carmalts, and others they cleared the forests and these fields in this beautiful valley and surrounding hills and then planted their corn and sowed their grain. They did their partin the great drama of life, then the Giver of All Good Gifts sent down His sunshine 93 millions of miles through space and the life-givingsunbeams entered the bosom of old mother earth and awoke these littlegerms of life and soon ten thousand miracles were wrought. It was not long until was seen the corn upon the hillside, the grain waving inthe valleys, the cattle on the surrounding hills and the lucious fruit of the tree and vine.
Truly, when man does his part our Divine Father is ever ready to do His part in the great drama of life.
We need not be ashamed of our part in the great drama of life. We have done our share of making our glorious Republic the brightest gem inthe diadem of nations. Let us go forth in the coming future, fighting the battles of purity, sobriety and honor, until our hands are loosened from the handles of the plow, and when we turn and look back overthe furrows we have made we will feel proud that the good work is still going on."

Came to Plymouth on the ship "Anne" July 1623 the Anne was the second (or third, unclear) ship to the Plymouth Colony and also bore the wives and children of many of the settlers. The ship Anne arrived in Plymouth in July, 1623 accompanied by the Little James, bringing new settlers along with many of the wives and children that had been left behind in Leyden when the Mayflower departed in 1620. Married John Adams in 1625

We know that in English Ancestry and Homes of the Pilgrim Fathers by Charles E. Banks, she was called Mrs. Ellen Newton, widow, when at age 25, in the year 1623, she emigrated from England to America on the ship Anne. By the time of the 1627 division of land and cattle in Plymouth, MA, she was married to John Adams who came from England to Plymouth, MA, in the Fortune in 1621. John Adams died in 1633 leaving his widow, Ellen, and at least one son, James Adams.
Internet genforum note from Wm Baker-- Elinor was in fact a Worden. She was the daughter of Peter Worden Ist, by his first wife. See my comments posted 2/12/00 for details. I do not know who she traveled with. It is a very good question. Newton was her first husband . Elinor 'Newton' Winslow who came on the "Anne" in 1623 was the daughter of Peter Worden Ist (of Yarmouth) by his first marriage. Her son Kenelm Winslow, Jr. married her brother Peter (II) Worden's daughter Mercy Worden. That is why Kenelm (Jr.) referred to his wife as "my cousin" in his will. They were first cousins. Peter Worden II married Mary Magdalene Winslow, sister of Edward II and Kenelm I. Peter II and Mary were the parents of Mercy Worden who married Kenelm II. then a rebuttal I don't believe that Ellen (---) (Newton) (Adams) Winslow was a daughter of Peter Worden. She was certainly a passenger on the Anne in 1623 as Ellen Newton. Most people think that she must have been married because no single woman would have made the journey alone. In any case she is generally considered the same person who married John Adams then Keneln Winslow. See Robert Charles Anderson "The Great Migration Begins; Immigrants to New England 1620-1633" Vol. 1 (NEHGS, Boston, 1995) 1:11-12, 2:1332, 3:2033-2036.
Peter Worden, the one who came to Yarmouth, MA, left a will in which he mentions only his son--no daughters, no other kinspeople. He also mentions land he owns in Clayton, Lancashire, England. The Winslows were from Worcestershire. I doubt Mary/Magdalene Winslow went all the way to Lancashire to marry. Another reason this doesn't work is that Magdalene Winslow did marry and stay in England was the grandmother of William Wake, Archbishop of Canterbury!
Sometimes things are lost forever and the identity of Ellen (--) (Newton) (Adams) Winslow is one of those things. From Winslow Memorial-KENELM1 WINSLOW [1], married Eleanor Adams, widow of John Adams of Plymouth. Judge Davis supposes her maiden surname was Newton, perhaps the Ellen Newton of the pilgrims. She is said to have had three children by her first husband, viz.: James, John, and Susan.i
Noted events in her life were:
• Misc: Considered A Founding Father ( Surviving Settler) Of New Plymouth.
• She immigrated in 1623 to On The Anne.

General Notes: LIEUT. JOB2, (Kenelm1) b. abt. 1641; d. 14 July, 1720, Freetown, Mass. He settled at Swansey (Bristol Co., Mass) abt. 1666. "At the breaking out of the Indian War, June, 1675, his house at Swansey, which he had inhabited eight or nine years, was burnt by the enemy." [Savage's Gen. Dict., IV, 600. Plym. Rec.,X, 364.] He appears to have been one of the early settlers of Rochester, as he was there about 1680. [Barber's Mass. Hist. Collections, p. 524.] But he soon removed to Freetown, for, in 1686, he was one of the selectmen of that town; Town Clerk and grand-juryman in 1690; assessor in 1691, 1701--1706,and 1711; moderator of the annual town meeting in 1708 and 1711; deputy to the General Court in 1686, and representative, in 1692, at the first General Court in Massachusetts under the charter of Wm. and Mary. He was a leading man in all town matters, both civil and religious. He is styled "Lieutenant," and was a shipwright by occupation. He m. Ruth (???), who survived him. In his will, dated 12 Nov. 1717, he gave the lot now known as the Winslow Burying-ground, situated two miles south of Assonet Village; he also mentions his wife Ruth, and all his children given below, with the exception of Mary, Hope, and John. The dates of birth of the first six children are copied from the records of Swansey, and of James, Mary, George, Jonathan and John, from the records of Freetown.
Job purchased lot #16 in Freetown after fighting in the King Phillip's War.
When King Philip's war broke out in 1675, his house was burned. It is claimed, however, that on Sunday, the 6th day of June, 1675, or two days before these Indians were hanged, the house of Job Winslow in Swansea was broken open and rifled. He served in the military in Jun 1675 in Freetown, Bristol Co., MA. He had an estate probated in 1720 in Freetown, Bristol Co., MA. He was a Shipwright. He was Congregational. He served in the King Philip's War. Job Winslow subsequently became a land holder and resident in Freetown, where, on the 14th of July, 1720, he died. His will bore date Nov. 12, 1717. [James Savage, Genealogical Dictionary of the First Settlers of New England] Job Winslow purchased from John Waterman lot 16 in Freetown , Bristol County,MA after King Phillip's War. He soon moved to Freetown, for in 1686 he was a selectman there. He was a leading man in both Swansea and Freetown. (selectman, assessor, town clerk, General court rep, town council).Job and family remained here until Job's death in July 14, 1720. JOB, Freetown, s. of Kenelm, was rep. 1686, for the Col. of Plymouth,and in 1692, for Mass. under the chart. of William and Mary. He was a leading citizen and was deputy to the General Court in 1686 and representative in 1692 at the first General Court in Mass., under the charter of William and Mary . In 1690 he was town clerk and grand juror; assessor in 1691, 1701, 1706 and 1711; deputy to the general court in 1692; moderator of town meeting, 1708 and 1711.
JOB* [36]. Later information received gives the reason of his being "styled lieutenant." Previous to February 1715 the entire militia force of Freetown was too small to constitute a "captain's command," and hence it was organized as a "lieutenant's company," Thomas' Terry, of Freetown, mentioned under serial numbers [2379] and [12941], being commissioned lieutenant commandant by the Governor of Plymouth Colony, June 4th, 1686. He served in that capacity till a few years before his death, which occurred about 1702, when he was succeeded by Job* Winslow, who commanded the Freetown train band in the name and by the authority of King William.
From received email: I see that the problem of who was Job Winslow's wife is recognized here. However Greene and other sources prove that he did not marry Ruth Cole! He married either Ruth Hopkins or another unrecognized Ruth. The above URL of a 1914 publication By Greene shows (in lengthy dissertation) that John Young rather than Job Winslow married Ruth Cole. Job Winslow's wife is possibly Ruth Hopkins, daughter of Gyles Hopkins, who came on the Mayflower. Unfortunately Ruth Hopkins may also be the wife of Samuel Mayo.
This research paper also implies that Ruth (Cole) Young did not die on 15 Dec 1694 (the same day as her mother's death). This is because she later married Jonathan Bangs in 1720. Because both she and her mother can be called Ruth Cole, I believe the mother's death date was tranferred to her daughter.
Corrections from Winslow Memorial-- JOB* [36]. Later information received gives the reason of his being "styled lieutenant." Previous to February 1715 the entire militia force of Freetown was too small to constitute a "captain's command," and hence it was organized as a "lieutenant's company," Thomas' Terry, of Freetown, mentioned under serial numbers [2379] and [12941], being commissioned lieutenant commandant by the Governor of Plymouth Colony, June 4th, 1686. He served in that capacity till a few years before his death, which occurred about 1702, when he was succeeded by Job* Winslow, who commanded the Freetown train band in the name and by the authority of King William.
Noted events in his life were:
• Moved: Abt 1666, Swansea, Mass, House Burned By Pokanoket Indians About June 19, 1675 During King Phillips War- Home Was Destroyed But He Rebuilt Second Home Near The Original Site.
• Military: Lt Colonial Militia; King Phillips War, under Uncle Josiah Winslow
• He was employed in Shipwright; Planter.
• He was elected to office in Held Several Public Positions In Freetown; Assessor, Town Clerk.
• He had a religion in Congregational.
• Moved: Abt 1680, Rochester, Mass One Of The Early Settlers.
• Moved: Between 1680 and 1686, Freetown Early Settler; Selectman 1686 Took The 16th Lot; Prominent Citizen.
Job married Ruth about 1673 in Swansea, Bristol, Mass. Ruth was born maybe June 1653 in Mass, died before 1720 in probably Freetown, Bristol, Mass, and was buried in prob Winslow Burial Ground, Freetown, MA.
General Notes: The Ruth connection has been difficult to prove. Some say she was not daughter of Daniel Cole . Other possible ties maybe to Stephens Hopkins, but also not known There was an article in "The New York Genealogical and Biographical Record, Vol 45, pages 2-9 under heading "JOB WINSLOW'S WIFE" by Richard Henry Greene where he debunks the theory that she was Ruth Cole.
(In 1914 Richard Henry Greene rejected the claim that Ruth was daughter of
Daniel Cole; he examined several other possibilities, including a placement in
the family of STEPHEN HOPKINS, but came to no firm conclusion [NYGBR 45:2-8; see
also MF 6:7, 11].)
Mayflower Society based on my inquiry--If Ruth were indeed Gyles Hopkin's daughter, yes. But, "well, who else could she be?" is not even a good argument, let alone proof. The line was rejected by the Society as "unproven" not as wrong, so new evidence would have to be submitted strong enough to make a good case. As anyone who works with the 17th century vital records could tell you, not all life events were recorded and/or have survived to the present. There could easily be other Ruths of appropriate age born in the area. Greene's article dealt with the known children, but that is not definitive.

Her mother ruth chester if true may be a connection to the Aldens and the Mayflower
Notes for Daniel COLE:
William Collier of London, came to the colonies in 1633 on the ship "Mary and James". With him were the Cole brothers, John, Job, and Daniel. James, of Plymouth, was probably also a brother. The brothers were apprentices, not servants. Daniel Cole and his brothers, Job Cole and John Cole, were descendants of Elisha Cole. The name Cole (James, see below) first appears on Plymouth Records in 1633:
Daniel, third brother of Job and John Cole, of Putman Co. NY. granted 50
acres 6 April 1640. Listed as able-bodied man Yarmouth 1643. A Freeman
in 1645. A Deputy in Eastham, MA. 1652, 1654, 1657, 1661-1665.
Daniel Cole married Ruth Chester.
Savage: Daniel Cole, Yarmouth, removed to Eastham 1643, was brother of
Job, rep 1652 and 6 more years. Wife Ruth.
Descendant of Elisha Cole.
________________________________________________________________
Job Cole moved to Yarmouth in 1642, and to Eastham in 1648. He was made deputy 1654. He was listed as a Freeman in 1670, but not listed in 1675. He probably died between these dates. Job Cole was the first town clerk of Eastham, MA. (Savage) Job Cole married Rebecca Collier, the daughter of Wm Collier. She died at the age of 88, on Dec 29, 1698. There is some confusion among
the Colliers and their marriages. Wm Collier of London came to America 1633, after being several years a merchant adventurer. He arrived on the MARY AND JAMES. William Collier was born in England before 1590 and died Plymouth about 1670. Four daughters came with him:
Rebecca Collier m. Job Cole. She died age 88 on 29 Dec 1698.
Sarah Collier m. 1) Love Brewster
2) Richard Parke
Elizabeth Collier m. Constant Southworth
Mary Collier m. Thomas Prence (Pence) 1 Apr 1635. His first wife died
1634. Prence was the Governor of Plymouth 1635. Prence arrived on the
FORTUNE in 1621. He was the son of Thomas Prence of Lechlade, Glouster
County, England. He married Patience, d. of William Brewster 5 Aug
1624. She died in 1635 and he moved to Duxbury, MA. where he married
Mary Collier. In 1645 he moved to Eastham, MA. where Mary Collier Prence
died. Contact NATBOND@aol.com for more information about the
Collier-Prence connection.

JOB WINSLOWS WIFE.
By Richard Henry Greene.
Kenelme Winslow followed his brother, Gov. Edward Winslow, of the Mayflower pilgrims, to Plymouth, Mass., in 1629, coming,
as is generally believed, on the second trip, with Winthrop's fleet, when thirty-five of the Leyden church came to join the
pilgrims in New England.
Gov. Bradford in a letter to Mr. Shirley, dated May 25, 1629, says: "Here are now many of your and our friends from Leyden
coming over. . . . With them we have also sent some servants in ye ship called the Talbut, that wente hence latly; but
these came in ye Mayflower."
This, I think, proves that Kenelme Winslow and Josiah Winslow came in the same vessel in which their brothers Edward and
Gilbert Winslow came on her first voyage in 1620.
Kenelme married after his arrival here, in June, 1634, Eleanor or Ellen, widow of John Adams, believed to be Eleanor
Newton, who came on the Anne in 1623 (New Eng. Hist. Gen. Register, 33, p. 410). Kenelme had four children: Kenelme,
Eleanor, Nathaniel and Job, the youngest who was born about 1641, probably at Marshfield, where his father had moved from
Plymouth. He was one of the proprietors who purchased " Ye freemans lands at Taunton River" from the chief Wamsutta,
April 2, 1659, called Assonet, later Freetown, where he never settled, but his son Job resided, coming from Swansea,
where his house was attacked by Philip's men, July 18 or 19, 1675. He was there since
about 1666. Job married about 1673 or Jan. 1674, Ruth .
Here is the matter we are attempting to clear up.
Davis, in his Landmarks of Plymouth, says: Job married Ruth, daughter of Daniel Cole, of Eastham (page 290).
In the Descendants of Elisha Cole, by Jos. O. Curtis, N. Y., 1909, we find: Daniel Cole married Ruth Chester and had:
John, b. July 15, 1644; m. Ruth, probably daughter of
Joseph Snow. Timothy, b. Sept. 15, 1646. Hepsibah, b. April 16, 1649; m. (i) Geo. Crisp; (2) Danl. Doane.
Ruth, b. April 15, 1651; m. (i) John, Nov. 16, 1669, son of John and Abigail Young; m. (2) Capt. Jonathan Bangs.
Israel, b. June 8, 1653; m. April, 1674-9, Mary Rogers. James, b. Nov. 30, 1655. Mary, b. March 10, 1658; m. May 26, 1681,
Joshua, son of Gyles Hopkins; she d. March i, 1734. William, b. Sept. 15, 1663; m. Dec. 2, 1686, Hannah, dau. of Stephen
Snow. Daniel, b. Sept. 1666; m. Mercy, dau. Rev. Samuel
Fuller.
Also, The Cole Genealogy, by Frank T. Cole, Columbus, O., 1887, gives Ruth, b. April 15, 1651; m. John, eldest son of John
and Abigail Young of Eastham, b. in Plymouth Nov. 16, 1649. John Cole, eldest son of Daniel, who m. Ruth, dau. of Nicholas
Snow, Dec. 12, 1666, and had a dau. Ruth, b. March n, 1668; m. William Twining, whose third child was Ruth Cole, b. August
27, 1699; also Hugh and Mary (Foxwell) Cole, had dau. Ruth, b. Jan. 8, 1666.
The Genealogy of James Cole of Plymouth, by E. B. Cole, Grafton Press, informs us that James Cole, m. 1624, Mary Lobel, b.
London, and had: James, b. England 1624, and Hugh, b. 1627, in London probably. He came to New England in 1632 and Plymouth
in 1633. This Hugh Cole m. Mary Foxwell, dau. of Richard and Ann Shelly; they removed to Barnstable; the first wife died in
Swansea; he m. (2) Jan. i, 1689, Elizabeth, wid. of Jacob Cook, and dau. of Thomas and Ann Lattice, of Plymouth; she d. at
Swansea, Oct. 31, 1693; he m. (3) Jan. 30, 1694, Mary, wid. Ephraim Morton and dau. of Robert Shelly. He d. at Swansea, Jan.
22, 1699. Of his ten children the sixth was Ruth Cole, b. Jan. 8, 1666; m. Deacon Nathaniel Luther, June 10, 1693. Hugh
Cole lived at Swansea at the same time with Job Winslow. James Savage in I, New Eng. Genealogical Dictionary, at page 425,
we read: Daniel Cole, Yarmouth, removed to Eastham 1643 . . . by wife Ruth had children (agreeing with Mr. Curtis above
except Daniel, the last named), and there "he d. Dec. 21, 1694, aged 80, and his wife Ruth d. six days before, aged only
67."
On page 10, of Descendants of Elisha Cole, there is the Hopkins family, from which we abbreviate as follows: Stephen
Hopkins, b. in England 1585; by his first wife he had two children: Gyles and Constance. Gyles Hopkins, b. about 1608; m.
in Yarmouth, Oct. 9, 1639, Catorne, dau. of Gabriel Whelden, and d. at Eastham in 1690; they had among others, Joshua,
who m. Mary, dau. of Daniel Cole; "the first of many marriages between the Cole and Hopkins family," according to the
author.
I have been thus careful to show the Cole family, and have tried to show the locations where they lived; also to collect
the daughters in that vicinity of the name of Ruth in order to determine who is right in naming the wife of Job Winslow.
We have another family we should introduce: John Young m. Abigail , Dec. 13, 1648, at Plymouth; he had:
John, b. Nov. 16, 1649. Joseph, b. Dec., 1654. Nathaniel, b. April, 1656. Mary, b. April 28, 1658. Abigail, b. Oct., 1660.
David, b. April 17, 1662. Lidia, b. 1664. Robert, b. April, 1667. Henry, b. July, 1669; d. 1670. Henry, b. March 17, 1672.
John, the eldest, is again said to have m. Ruth Cole, dau. of Daniel. 7, New Eng. Hist. Gen. Reg., 347.
Gyles Hopkins and Daniel Cole lived in the localities in which Job Winslow lived. We have stated he was born in Marshfield,
but the three families lived in Yarmouth and Eastham at the same time and finally Job settled in Freetown. He became
selectman there in 1686; town clerk and grand-juryman in 1690; assessor 1691, 1701 to 1706 and 1711; moderator of the
annual town meetings in 1708 and 1711; deputy to general court in 1686, and representative in 1692. He was also the highest
military officer, having been commissioned lieutenant-commandant of the Freetown train bands by authority of King William
and Queen Mary. He was, therefore, a man of importance.
Job Winslow had thirteen children; six are recorded in Swansea: Hope, on page 17; Job, page, 18; Oliver, page 41; Ruth,
page 51, and Richard the same; William, page 69; the rest except Joseph and Elizabeth are from the records of Freetown,
but these two are not recorded so far as I have found.
In Job's will, dated Nov. 12, 1717, he mentions wife Ruth and all the children except Mary, Hope and John; Mary and Hope
may have died, but John was living and married 12 years after. William, b. Nov. 16, 1674; m. Ann Wheeler. Oliver, b. Feb.
20, 1676. Ruth, b. Sept. 13, 1678.
Richard, b. March 6, 1680; m. Hannah , a doctor;
d. 1727-8.
Hope, b. May 29, 1681.
Job, b. July 10, 1683; lieutenant Dec., 1755, Halifax. Joseph, published intentions to Mary Tisdale; m (2) Hannah .
James, b. May 9, 1687; m. (i) Elizabeth Carpenter; (2)
Ruth Gatchell. Mary, b. April 2, 1689; d. young. George, b. Jan. 2, 1691; m. Elizabeth .
Jonathan, b. Nov. 22, 1692; m. Sarah Kirby. John, b. Feb. 20, 1695; m. Oct. 9, 1729, Betsey Hath- away. Elizabeth,
b. 1696-7; m. John Marshall.
I cannot tell why Elizabeth's birth or the date of her marriage was not recorded; according to family records she married
John Marshall in 1725; he was of Windsor, Conn., but was a shipwright, like his father-in-law, and engaged in building
ships on the Taunton River. They had nine children, all born at Freetown. John Marshall died May, 1772, aged 69. Elizabeth
Winslow Marshall moved with Ruth, the youngest child, to East Haddam, Conn.; others of the family seem to have removed to
the same place, but I cannot say if before or after their mother.
We can often make a prima facie case, or at least get a good clue, from family names; take the Cole family names in order
to see if they are repeated in Job's and Ruth's children.
Ruth should be excluded in such a test; John, James, Mary and William are perhaps so common we find them in almost every
family, but Timothy, Hepsibah, Israel, Daniel in the Cole family are not repeated in the family of Job and Ruth, where we
find Oliver, Richard, Hope, Job, Joseph, George, Johnathan and Elizabeth Winslow.
Again if we take the children of Gyles Hopkins we can prove nothing, for Mary, John and William with Ruth appear in both,
and the youngest child is Elizabeth both in the family of Job Winslow and Gyles Hopkins.
We should expect Gyles or Kenelme or some such name, but we have only Job and Ruth and these do not help us. Of the
seventy-six grandchildren of Job and Ruth, Job has two namesakes and Ruth three. These families lived near each other and
were intimate, so a marriage is possible in either family.
If we examine their ages, Ruth Cole was b. in April, 1651; Ruth Hopkins in June, 1653, a difference of two years and two
months; the former is ten years younger than Job Winslow, and if she married Young was then eighteen years old; on the
other hand, Ruth Hopkins was twenty years old when Job Winslow was married, and forty-four when his youngest child was
born. Mary, her sister, was married at twenty-five, and Abigail at twenty-three, and if Ruth married Job their ages would
not be disproportioned.
Gyles or Giles Hopkins came with his father Stephen and a step-mother on the Mayflower in 1620; he was born between
1605
and 1608; he was of Yarmouth 1639 to 1642, and married there Oct. 9, 1639, Catorne or Catherine Whelden, perhaps daughter
of Henry of Yarmouth; they moved to Eastham in 1643. The will of Gyles Hopkins, dated Jan. 19, 1682, with codicil March 5,
1688-9, recorded April 22, 1690, prove that he died between March, 1689, and April, 1690 (N. S.). He mentions wife Catorne
and sons: Stephen, Caleb, Joshua and William, every living son since John had died. Bradford wrote in his history in
1650: "Gyles Hopkins is married and hath four children." His children were as follows:
Mary Hopkins, b. at Yarmouth, Nov., 1640; m. Samuel Smith of Eastham, Jan. 3, 1665. Stephen Hopkins, b. at Yarmouth,
Sept., 1642; m. May 23, 1667, Mary Merrick, dau. of Ens. William and Rebecca Merrick of Yarmouth. John Hopkins, b. at
Yarmouth and died in 1643 when three months old. Abigail Hopkins, b. at Eastham, Oct., 1644; m. William Merrick, eldest
son of William, on May 23, 1667. Deborah Hopkins, b. at Eastham, June, 1648; m. Jo- siah Cooke. Caleb Hopkins, b. at
Eastham, Jan., 1650.
Ruth Hopkins, b. at Eastham, June, 1653.
Joshua Hopkins, b. June, 1657, at Eastham; m. May 26, 1681, Mary, dau. of Daniel Cole of Eastham.
William Hopkins, b. Eastham, Jan. 9, 1660.
Elizabeth Hopkins, b. Nov., 1664; d. Dec., 1664. There is another source of information better on many accounts than a
single family history, and this is David Hamlin's First Settlers ofEastham, Mass., furnished to and printed by the N. E.
Historic Genealogical Register in Jan., 1852, and following numbers. This antedates much of our matter given before,
having been printed more than sixty years ago. We believe these to be from the original records made at the time; hence
they are earlier than Savage, who prepared his dictionary in 1860. John Farmer's Genealogical Register of First Settlers
of New England came out in 1829 and was the foundation of Savage, but he does not mention Job Winslow, Gyles Hopkins,
Daniel Cole or John Young. In these Eastham records of David Hamlin the statement occurs: "John Young, son of John,
married Ruth Cole, daughter of Daniel." This seems to me the best proof thus far.
Taking Ruth Cole out of the candidates for Job Winslow's hand, is there any one who is prepared to name any of the numerous
Ruths as his wife. I will give many of these Ruths with what I can learn of them. Some of the inquirers in the genealogical
column of the Boston Transcript may know more than I do and some may show why Ruth Hopkins, daughter of Gyles, may not have
been the one.
To be the mother of Job Winslow's children she must be a Ruth, and marriageable in 1673. It would seem that in that early
day, and within so small a territory, one might discover her family name. Acting on this idea I began to collect the Ruths
on and near Cape Cod; then I sought to find if she was married, and here is the result first of those who were married:
Ruth Alden, m. May 12, 1657, John Bass. Ruth Chipman, b. 1663; m. Eleazer Crocker.
Ruth , b. 1648; m. 1673, Thomas Kendall.
Ruth Eddy came in 1630; m. Ezekiel Gardiner. Ruth Merrick, b. May 15, 1652; m. Jan., 1677, Edmund Freeman.
Ruth Bangs, b. 1652; m. , Sears.
Ruth Goodspeed, b. April 13, 1652; m. John Davis, Jr.,
Feb. 2, 1674.
Ruth Chandler, m. Daniel Cole. Ruth Michelson, m. Samuel Champney, 1692; then widow Jno. Green. Ruth Bassett, m. 1655,
John Sprague. Ruth Foxwell, b. March 25, 1641; m. Nelson.
Ruth Merrick of Wilmington, Ct, m. Feb. 23, 1751,
Clement Topliff.
Ruth Chester, m. 1643, Daniel Cole. Ruth Cole, b. 1667; m. March 26, 2689, Wm. Twining. Ruth Snow, m. Dec. 12, 1666, John
Cole. Ruth Partridge, m. June i, 1670, Ralph Thatcher. Ruth Jackson, m. Ebenezer Nelson. Ruth Sargent, b. 1686; m. Jonathan
Winslow. Ruth Winslow, m. 1677, Richard Bourne. Ruth, m. Nathaniel Thayer. Ruth Cole, b. 1666; m. Deacon Nathaniel Luther.
Ruth Cole, b. April 15, 1651; m. John Young. The above twenty-two Ruths are removed from our search. Here are others in
which I have been able to find the birth but no marriage; however, many of these were born so late they cannot be
considered:
Ruth Bass, b. about 1662.
Ruth Godfrey, b. Jan. i, 1675, Eastham.
Ruth Cole, dau. John, b. March n, 1668.
Ruth Kendall, b. Oct. 19, 1675.
Ruth Cooke, b. 1666.
Ruth Norket, b. 1728, Eastham.
Ruth Thatcher, b. Nov. i, 1675.
Ruth Bryant, b. 1673.
Ruth Sprague, b. Feb. 12, 1659.
Ruth Turner, b. March 19,1685.
Ruth Snow, b. Oct. 14, 1679.
Ruth Thayer, b. July, 17, 1689.
This list, until I discovered the dates of birth, were considered possibilities. Now I have only four left among my
eligible Ruths.
i. Ruth Eddy, b. 1649, at Plymouth or at Watertown, where her parents moved in 1631. The fact of the family living so
far away makes me think she could not be the wife of Job Winslow.
2. Ruth Tracy, dau. of Stephen, b. 1629. The father returned to England in 1654, leaving five children in New England,
two sons and three daughters. Mary m. Henry Cullifer; Susanna m. John Simons; of Ruth I find no record of marriage or
death, but she was a dozen years older than Job.
3. Ruth Hopkins, daughter of Stephen, the pilgrim, was born in Plymouth; is mentioned in her father's will in 1644, but
supposed to have died before Bradford wrote as follows in 1650: " Mr. Hopkins and his wife are both dead, but they lived
above 20 years in this place, and had one sone and 4 daughters borne here . . . one daughter dyed here and 2 are maried,
one of them hath 2 children, and one is yet to mary. So their Increase, which still survive are 5. But his sone Giles is
maried and hath 4 children."
Ruth must have been the daughter who died, as appears from the settlement of her younger sister's estate in 1659.
4. Ruth Hopkins, daughter of Gyles, b. June, 1653, three years after Bradford wrote. I find no account of her death,
and
no report of her marriage.
And though I find no record or established proof of her marriage, I see no reason or proof to the contrary. Job Winslow,
we know, married a Ruth. Can any one say her last name was not Hopkins?
Noted events in her life were:
• Alt Name: Seems llike Ruth Cole is no longer accepted; next choice may be Ruth Hopkins son of Giles Hopkins ( not his father Stephen Hopkins) If this is so, there would be another Mayflower connection- but hard to prove right or wrong. And not accepted by the Mayflower Society

Samuel was born on Jan 16, 1637 in Duxbury, Plymouth County, Massachusetts, died in 1699 in Marshfield, Plymouth, Mass, and was buried in Winslow Cemetery, Marshfield, Plymouth, Massachusetts.

4. Kenelm Winslow was born on Apr 30, 1635 in Plymouth, Massachusetts, died on Nov 11, 1715 in Harwich, Barnstable, Mass, and was buried in Winslow Cemetery, Dennis, Barnstable, Massachusetts.
General Notes: KENELM2, [2] (Kenelm1,) b. abt. 1635, Plymouth, Mass.; d. 11 Nov., 1715, Harwich, Mass., "in the 79th year of his age," acc. to gravestone, (14 Nov. acc. to Savage,). He early removed to Cape Cod, and settled in that part of Yarmouth which was afterwards incorporated with Harwich, and which is now Brewster. His homestead was near the westerly border of the town, now known
as West Brewster, Satucket, or Winslow's Mills. He is mentioned in the Yarmouth Records as early as 1668, Harwich then being in the constable rick of Yarmouth. In a "rate" dated 29 Apr., 1676, towards the charge of the late war," we find "Kenel. Winslow œ4. 13.6. [Freeman's Hist. Cape Cod, ,p. 195.] Whether he was engaged in any of the encounters with the Indians we do not know, but, n 1678, he is styled "Col. Winslow" in the list of freemen of Yarmouth (Hist. Cape Cod, II, p. 196). He is also called "planter" or "yeoman" in sundry deeds, and is a purchaser of large tracts of wild land, especially in what is now the town of Rochester, on which several of his children afterwards dwelt. In 1679, he was engaged with the "thirty partners" in such a purchase. See Mass. Hist. Coll., XIV, 259, where he is erroneously described as of Marshfield, instead of Yarmouth. We find also on the 15 Mar. 1680, an agreement was made "with our neighbors, the purchasers or proprietors of the land between Stoney Brook and Bound Brook," subsequently signed by Ananias Wing, Paul Sears, Kenelm Winslow, and John Dillingham, Jr., on the one part, and by John Thacher, Sam'l Haw??s, Thomas Sturgis and Josiah Thacher in behalf of Yarmouth [Hist. Cape Cod, II, p.198]. Among other purchases he secured a good "water privilege," which has been of advantage to his descendants even unto the present time. In 1699 he sold it to his son Kenelm, and now (1873) it is owned by his great-great-great grandson, Wm. Winslow, of West Brewster, Mass.
From the Mansfield, Conn., Records, we find that Kenelm Winslow, of Harwich,Barnstable Co., Mass., bought of George Denison, of Stonington, one thousand acres of land in Windham, (in that part of the town which afterwards became Mansfield,) Conn., 11 March, 1700, for which he paid œ30. On the 7th of October, 1700, he gives this land to his son Samuel, who afterwards sells it
to his brother Kenelm [50]. It does not appear from the records that Kenelm Winslow, either father or son, ever resided in Windham or Mansfield. Like his father he seems to have incurred the displeasure of the General Court.Under date of 3 Oct. 1662 (Rec., IV, 29), it is recorded that "Kenelme Winslow, junr., for riding a journey on the Lord's day, although he pleaded
some disappointment enforcing him thereunto, is fined ten shillings." He must not, however, be regarded as a scoffer at religion, or as negligent in the observance of its forms, for on three occasions he went to Scituate, some sixty miles distant, that his children might not remain unbaptized. "He brought to the 2d church in Scituate for baptism, Kenelm, 1668; Josiah,
1670; Thomas, 1672. It is well known that many of the ministers in the colony were opposed to infant sprinkling at that time" [Deane's Hist. Scituate, p. 389]. Also, about a year before his death, 4 Oct. 1714, he was one among five chosen "to seat persons, or place them where they shall sit,
in the meeting house" [Hist. Cape Cod, II, p. 501]. He m. 23 Sept. 1667, Mercy Worden, b. abt. 1641, dau. of Peter, Jr., and Mercy, of Yarmouth. She d. 22 Sept., 1688, "in the 48th year of her age," according to her gravestone, which is still standing in the Winslow burying-ground in Dennis.
The monument is of a hard slate, is said to have been brought from England, and is the oldest in the yard. The headstones of Kenelm Winslow, his two sons, and many of his descendants are also to be seen. According to History of Cape Cod, this burying-ground is "near the road leading from Nobscusset to Satucket," or, according to Josiah Paine, Esq., "a little south of the county road in East Dennis, which is but a short distance from the Brewster line." Hem. 2d, Damaris(???), who survived him, and was living 27 March, 1729.
Kenelm married Mercy Worden on Sep 22, 1667 in Harwich, Barnstable County, Massachusetts, daughter of Peter Worden and Mary. Mercy was born about 1641 in Yarmouth, Barnstable, Mass and died on Sep 22, 1688 in Winslow, Graveyard, Dennis, Barnstable, Mass.
Noted events in her life were:
• She has conflicting birth information of 1641 and Yarmouth, Barnstable, Mass.
Kenelm next married Damaris Eames.
5. Nathaniel Winslow was born in 1639 in Marshfield, Mass, died on Dec 1, 1719 in Marshfield, Mass, and was buried in Winslow Cemetery, Marshfield, Plymouth, Massachusetts.

Nathaniel married Faith Miller on Aug 3, 1664 in Marshfield, Mass. Faith was born in 1645 and died in 1729.
6. James Winslow was born on May 9, 1687 in Assonet (Freetown), Bristol County, Mass, died on Oct 19, 1773 in Falmouth (Portland) , Cumberland, District Of Maine, and was buried in maybe Quaker Cemetery on Blackstrap Road, Falmouth area.
General Notes: James Winslow, son of Lieutenant Job Winslow, was born in Freetown, Bristol County, Massachusetts, May 9, 1687, died October 19, 1773. He moved from Freetown Mass to Falmouth, Maine, about 1728, and settled on land granted to him in 1/28, on which he was to erect a mill on the Presumpscot river.. He owned a large tract at Portland (then Broad Bay), which he gave to his sons who moved there in 1752.. He was the first Friend in Falmouth and "lent a most important support to the doctrines of that respectable people in this neighborhood." He became a member, with Nathan and Benjamin Winslow, at a monthly meeting, May, 1751. He married (first) Elizabeth Carpenter, (second) intentions dated November 12, 1750, Ruth Gatchell, of Brunswick. Children, recorded in Freetown: Mary, June 20, 1709; Nathan, mentioned below; Job, March 30, 1715; Benjamin, June 19, 1717; Elizabeth, May 6, 1721; James, August 6, 1725; Sybil, October 3, 1727.
From History of Portland---Winslow, James , was a heel-maker, and came from the old colony before 1728. He was the first person who joined the Quakers in this town and carried all his family with him. His will made in 1767 was proved in 1773 ; his children were Nathan, Benjamin, James, and Job. Job, son of James Winslow, married Margaret Barbour and had three children, viz., Lorana, married to Daniel Hall; Ruth, married to Hatevil Hall ; the third daughter married David Torrey, 17 38.
Nathan, son of Nathan, and grandson of James, was born March 27, O. S., 1743 ; he was a large land speculator and clerk of the Proprietors of Falmouth many years, and their last clerk; he died in 1826.
Winslow, Nathaniel , was among our first settlers, and in 1719 was one of a committee to lay out lots on the Neck ; he had a grant of an acre lot in 1728, near the fountain in Spring street, which he conveyed the same year to James Winslow. We cannot trace him later than that time, and believe that there are no persons in town who claim descent from him. All of the name now among us derive their origin from James Winslow.
Accessions were made continually to the society from among the people here, particularly from that part of Falmouth in which James Winslow resided ;' preachers from abroad occasionally visited and aroused the people, and some of their own members too were early stimulated with zeal to spread their religion. In 1759 certificates were granted to Patience Estes and John Douglass "to travel on truth's account," and in August of the same year, Mary Gurby from England, and Elizabeth Smith from West Jersey, came here as traveling preachers. In 1768 a meeting-house was built by subscription near the Presumpscot river, in that part of the town which retains the ancient name, forty feet long and thirty-two feet wide, on the same spot where their first house, quite a small one, was erected in 1752.1 Previous to 1774, the Quakers had been required to pay taxes for the support of the ministry in the first parish ; but at the annual meeting in that year, perceiving the injustice of compelling persons to contribute to the support of a mode of worship from which they derived no benefit and of which their consciences did not approve, they passed the following vote: "Voted that the following professed Quakers, living within the bounds of the parish be exempted from parish rates the current year, viz: Benjamin Austin, Nathaniel Abbott, Samuel Estes, James Goddard, Benjamin Gould, Solomon Hanson, Robert Houston, Daniel Hall, Enoch Knight, John Knight, John Morrill, Stephen Morrill, Jacob Morrill, Elijah Pope, James Torrey, Ebenezer Winslow, Benjamin Winslow, Job Winslow, William Winslow, Oliver Winslow, John Winslow, Samuel Wiaslow, and James Winslow." None of these persons lived within the present limits of Portland, and it was not until several years after the revolution that a sufficient number had gathered upon the Neck to constitute a separate meeting for worship. Liberty was first granted to them in 1790 by the monthly meeting, to hold a separate meeting for worship for five months to be held at the house of William Purington.3 The brick meeting-house of the society, corner of Federal and Pearl streets, was commenced in 1795, and finished in 1796: it is two stories high and its dimensions are thirty-six feet by forty.
'James Winslow had a grant of land on Fall-cove brook, at Back Core, to erect a mill on, In 1728, but this falling within an ancient grant, he moved before 1748 northerly to the Presuropscot river, near where its course is turned noutherly by Blackstrap Hill. He died respected, leaving a large posterity, in 1773. His children were Nathan, Benjamin, James, Job, two daughters, married Hatevil Hall and James Torrey, who all joined the society of Friends The privilege of Fall brook for a cornmill, was voted to him in 1729.
The unchanged simplicity of their dress, carried us back to the dark day when their ancestors took their lives in their hands and ventured all things for the faith, an they believed, once delivered to the saints.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The first settlers of the territory that is now Gardiner, West Gardiner and Pittston, set sail from Falmouth in the fall of the year 1760, and proceeded to what was then called, Dr. Gardiner's estates at Cobbiseconte, or Gardinerstown. They were a Mr. Thomes, who was a builder of Grist-mills; Benjamin Fitch, a saw-mill wright; Jacob Loud, a house carpenter; James Winslovv, a wheelwright; and Ezra Davis, James and Henry McCAusLAND, and William PniLBRooK.f They arrived in safety, with the families of Winslow, Davis, Philbrook, and the McCauslands, and run their vessel into a wide creek, formed by the mouth of the stream, which was then navigable to the sites now occupied by the saw-mills, and there, on the northern bank of the stream, the craft lay all winter. James Winslow's wife, took her little daughter Sarah, then six years old, by the hand and went ashore, and they are the first two white females known to have set foot within the limits of Gardiner or Pittston.J They immediately threw up some log huts, and passed the winter in making preparations for the coming summer. The McCauslands and Winslows occupied the same cottage, and on the 23d of March, 1761, Jonathan Wmslow was born, the first white child native in ancient Pittston. The house stood exactly where now is the Widow Esmond's store.*
On the 27th of March, wishing to make an addition to the cottage of Winslow, they were able to haul the logs on the crust, so cold and backward was the spring of that year
Birth from "Winslow Memorial" which says it was copied from Freetown records. It didn't give a date of his first marriage and says the date of second is date of publication of intent. There is a marriage in IGI 1708 Falmouth, York, Maine, also two "of Freetown..." I previously had the date of his marriage to Ruth Gatchell as 12 Nov 1687, which is obviously wrong. The Ancestral File has 12 Nov 1750 but has her born 9 May 1734, Scarborough, Cumberland, Maine, daughter of John Getchell and Elizabeth
Robinson. This would make her 16 years old at the time of marriage to a 63-year-old man. There is a marriage to Ruth Getchell in the 1997 IGI, 12 Nov 1750, Scarboro, Cumberland, Maine. "Winslow Memorial" says he resided in Freetown but moved to Falmouth, Maine, in 1728. Thus his first marriage would probably be in Freetown or perhaps in Swansea, where she was born. It says he married 2nd, intent 12 Nov 1750, Falmouth, Ruth Gatchell of Brunswick. LDS proxy temple ordinances are in the IGI from temple records. I had a proxy sealing of his second marriage 23 May 1949 LOGAN, same as for first marriage. It is not in the 1997 IGI. There is a proxy sealing of the second marriage 1 Mar 1940 SLAKE from temple record.
JAMES,3 [44] (Job,2 Kenelm,1) b. 9 May, 1687, Freetown, Mass.; d. 19Oct. 1773, at Falmouth, Me. He resided in Freetown, but removed to Falmouth, Me, about 1728, and settled on the Presumpscot River, where he had granted to him in 1728 a tract of land on the back coast, on which to erect a mill. He owned a large tract of land at Broad Bay (now called Portland) which he gave to his sons, who removed there in 1752, but on account of troubles with the Indians were obliged, after a few years, to return to Falmouth. He was the first Friend in Falmouth, and "lent a most important support to the doctrines of that respectable people in this neighborhood." [History of Portland.] May, 1751, at a monthly meeting, Nathan, James and Benjamin Winslow were made members.
Noted events in his life were:
• He had a residence before 1728 in Freetown, Bristol County, Mass.
• Other: May 1751, James, Nathan, And Benjamin Became Members Of The Falmouth Monthly Meeting.
• He had a religion in 1743 in Religious Society Of Friends; Quaker. First Quaker meeting established in Falmouth James Winslow first to join; in 1752 Quaker Meeting Hoiuse built near home of James Winslow by the Presumpscot River
• He had a residence about 1728. First Of Winslows To Move To What Is Now Maine, Obtained A Land Grant And Built A Mill; Falmouth Maine; A Large Part Of Maine And Kennebec County Was Within The Limits Of The Grant Of The Old "Plymouth Council" To William Bradford In 1629.
• He worked as a heelmaker.
James married Elizabeth Carpenter in 1708 in Freetown, Bristol, Massachusetts, daughter of Benjamin Carpenter and Renew Weeks. Elizabeth was born on Feb 28, 1686 in Swansea, Bristol, Mass and died between Oct 1727 and Nov 1750 in Swansea, Bristol, Mass Or Falmouth, Cumberland, ME.

General Notes: Excerpts from Winslow Memorial regarding James Winslow(1725-1802)
JAMES4, (James3, Job2, Kenelm1,) b. 6 Aug. 1725, Freetown, Mass.; d. 16 Nov. 1802, Farmington, Me., and was buried there. He "with his brothers, who lived in Falmouth, received a large tract of land, from their father, at Broad Bay, and moved there in 1752. His daughter Sarah was born there in 1754. They designed to remain, but the Indian troubles forced them back to Falmouth." He and his wife and three children were among those who "set sail from Falmouth in the fall of the year, 1760, and proceeded to what was then called Dr. Gardiner's estates at Cobbiseconte, or Gardinerstown. They were a Mr. Thomes, who was a builder of grist-mills; Benjamin Fitch, a saw-mill wright; Jacob Loud, a house carpenter; James Winslow a wheelwright; and Ezra Davis, James and Henry McCausland, and William Philbrook. They arrived in safety, with the families of Winslow, Davis, Philbrook, and the McCauslands, and run their vessel into a wide creek, formed by the mouth of the stream, which was then navigable to the sites now occupied by the saw-mills, and there, on the northern bank of the stream, the craft lay all winter. James Winslow's wife took her little daughter Sarab, then six years old, by the hand, and went ashore, and they are the first two white females known to have set foot within the limits of Gardiner or Pittston. They immediately threw up some log huts, and passed the winter in making preparations for the coming summer. The McCauslands and Winslows occupied the same cottage, and, on the 23d of March, 1761, Jonathan Winslow was born, the first white child native in ancient Pittston. The house stood exactly where now (1852) is the Widow Esmond's store.
James Winslow was a wheelwright by trade. and his family were among the first settlers in Gardinerston, now Pittston, Me. The Winslows and McCauslands built a log cottage which they occupied together. Jonathan Winslow, born in March, 1761, was the first child of white parentage born in that town. Mr. Winslow worked on the mill which was built in the spring following their arrival. For his labor he received a deed of ninety acres of land from Dr. Gardiner, which had been previously cleared by the Indians. It is said that this is now the north-western lot in the town of Pittston. After the completion of the mill at Gardinerston, Mr. Winslow went to Damariscotta and worked on the mill at that place. While he was away Mrs. Winslow and her daughter did all the work on the farm, such as planting corn, potatoes, etc. They took a batteau and repeatedly crossed the river and went to the Great House, owned by Dr. Gardiner, where they obtained dressing which they applied to their land, and in the fall, as a part of their crop, harvested forty bushels of corn. Mrs. Winslow, or " Granny Winslow," was the only physician in whom the settlers believed, and she frequently went long distances to visit the sick. When a young man, James Winslow was a drummer in a fort at Portland, but he became converted to the principles of the Friends. He carried out his Quaker principles, and refused to serve in the Revolutionary War. When his son Jonathan was drafted his father did not object, but the distress of his mother caused the lad to escape by pleading Quaker education. His son James, Jr., an early settler in Industry, was born in Pittston, April 28. 1774. In 1787 the family moved to Farmington Falls, and were among the early settlers in that town.
"James Winslow had been a drummer in a fort at Falmouth, while a young man, but he became a convert to the principles of the Society of Friends, and as such, abhorred war and all its preparations. Yet it was found necessary to erect a block-house immediately, for defence against the Indians. This was done in 1763. It was a substantial, bullet-proof fort. It stood on the side of the hill, near the site of the Universalist church. In the autumn of 1765 there was an Indian alarm. Several of the settlers heard mysterious sounds in the night, as of footsteps, and the dogs were clamorous, and one was heard to cry out as if struck. The settlers became very much alarmed, and fled to the block house. The Winslows, who then lived where Amos Lyon now (1852) dwells, fled across the river, and a Bullen family from Hallowell, and others of the settlers with them, until the settlement was entirely deserted, and thirty or forty families were congregated in the humble fort. Jonathan Winslow was then four years old. A little dark cloak was thrown around him, to make him the color of the ground, and he trotted along in the procession to the place of safety. They remained here several days. The next day all went out together well armed, and harvested Winslow's crops, and thus they worked, with their arms, and in company, until the crops were all gathered. The alarm seemed to be false, and gradually the settlers resumed their homes again.
"James Winslow carried his Quaker principles with him and refused to serve in the Revolution; and Jonathan was once drafted and escaped serving, offering as a reason that he was educated a Quaker. James always took occasion to speak against the efforts of the Americans, though he and his son Jonathan made fifty paddles for Arnold's expedition. He used every effort to dissuade the men of the town from entering the contest against England, which he declared was foolhardiness. When Arnold passed up the river, many of his soldiers wore on their caps the motto, 'Liberty or Death,' and Winslow said, 'you'll all get the latter.' Without being exactly a Tory, he was evidently a prudent, careful man, who thought it not best to strive against so formidable an adversary as Great Britain. He had 'rather bear the ills we have, than fly to others that we know not of He did not object to the drafting of Jonathan, but the tears of the mother caused the boy to offer his plea of being a Quaker.
"In the course of the Revolution there were so many roving parties constantly passing and repassing, and the Winslows were so liable to be disturbed, that they moved from the house they occupied into another in the orchard back of the house, where they remained until more peaceful times. "On one occasion in 1778-9, a British scouting party of six entered the house, and demanded food. Mrs. Winslow said she had none cooked. They then said, 'boil us hasty pudding, or we will shoot you.' She obeyed the order, and soon the Yankee dish was smoking on the board. Before they had quite finished their repast, the party was alarmed by an unwonted noise without, and decamped, leaving a silver spoon, which one had taken from his knapsack to eat with, and a huge iron-handled sword. The latter is now (1852) in the possession of Mrs. Lyon, [12389] the granddaughter of James Winslow, and is a venerable relic of antiquity.
In the Valuation List of 1785, we find that he had 100 acres of land, and that his property was estimated at œ72. He resided at that time in what is now Pittston "very near the Hallowell line, where is now a two story brick house."
Who's Anna's parents??:
In the Winslow Memorial: James Winslow with James and Henry McCausland left Broad Bay and moved to Gardinerstown ( Pittston). The McCausland's and Winslows occupied the same cottage. James Winslow married Anna McCausland Huston, a widow of Isaac Huston and daughter of maybe James and Sarah McCausland (per William Huston of Falmouth book).
From McCausland documents, James McCausland of Falmouth on 12/18/1729 sold part of his property to William Huston Jr. and signed by James and Mary McCausland (his wife). Which James is Anna's father Was James married to Mary then Sarah or vice versa?
Anna "Granny" (McCausland) Huston Winslow was very energetic. She was the first white woman ashore in Pittston on 3/23/1760. She gave birth to Jonathan Winslow, the 1st white child born in Pittston. She was much relied on in case of sickess. "Granny W" was only physician in whom early settlers believed.
Henry McCausland and James McCausland were from Ireland, and had been several years in America. They were brothers, and received two settlers' lots, comprising a part of the present village in Gardiner, and extending from the river back of the residences of Messrs. Evans, Kimball, etc.** James McCansland was drowned quite early, and those who bear the name now are mostly descendants of Henry.*
June 13, 1764, Henry McCausland received two lots on the eastern side of the river, containing 250 acres. This he sold to Benjamin Fitch, July 9,1765. He procured other land, and his descendants are numerous in this vicinity.
It is said that the McCauslands originally received the soil occupied by the centre of the village, but that Dr. Gardiner, who foresaw what the place would probably become, persuaded them to remove across the stream, where they lived for many years, on a larger, though less valuable tract than they at first owned.
Noted events in his life were:
• Military: As A Quaker Did Not Do Military Service In The Revolutionary War; But Was A Supporter Of American Cause..
• He was employed in Wheelwright (Grist Mill).
• He had a residence in Bef 1752 , Freetown, Mass.
• He had a religion in Quaker.

• He had a residence in 1752 in Broad Bay, (Portland), Maine. moved to Broad Bay (Portland) from Falmouth with his brothers for land given to them by their father
• He had a residence in 1760 in Falmouth, Maine After Indian Troubles.
James married Anna Mccausland Huston on Jul 5, 1753 in Falmouth, Cumberland, Maine, daughter of James ? McCausland and Sarah McCausland. Anna was born in 1734 in Falmouth , Cumberland Co., Maine, died on Feb 15, 1827 in New Sharon, Franklin Co., Maine, and was buried in Farmington, Pittston, Franklin, Maine.
General Notes: Sarah and James Mccausland had a daughter, Anna who married first a Houston and then James Winslow. Anna was born 1734 and probably in Falmouth, Maine but moved to Kennebeck area/Gardiner, Maine. She was a midwife. James Winslow was son of James Winslow 1687-1773, from Freetown, Massachusetts and Job Winslow, son of Kenelm Winslow. I also have Sarah Winslow born 1754, daughter of James and Anna, marrying Ebenezer Church 1742-1810 of Farmington, Maine.

General Notes: Edward K. & Mildred True, and James D. True
Last update May 27, 1999
Elsie Keene, in her paper Brief History of the Keene Family wrote,
"Much of the information concerning the early Keens came from a record ... kept by Hezekiah Keen, youngest son of Josiah Keen, Jr. This book was bound in board covers, hinged with iron hammered out on an anvil, and had the name Hezekiah Keen in brass letters on one side, and on the other his monogram, also in brass. The first record in it was made on 1763, but it contained information far previous to that date. ... The book was passed from father to son until it came to a daughter who did not have an interest in it and who sold it for, at that time, the goodly sum of $50 to the Massachusetts Society of Mayflower Descendants. A few leaves have been lost, but there are still 478 pages, 214 of them blank except for the page numbers."
An excerpt from Hezekiah's book says, "Hezekiah Keen this Book Ret by me in March ye 10th 1763 who then lived in Duxborough and then was In his Sixty first year of my age, etc." Another excerpt, "September ye 26 Day 1770 Hezekiah Keen & Alice Keen my wife then we had all our Children to Se up at our house & there was Eleven of them all in health Bot only Alice & She was about house & all Set Down at ye table to Soper to geather & fed of hony."
In 1761, Hezekiah Keen deeded his homestead in Duxbury to "my son Prince Keene of Duxbury, blacksmith."
Hezekiah and his wife Alice (Howland) Keen had eleven children, all born in Duxbury:
Noted events in his life were:
• Other: Mayflower Descendent Of Richard Warren.
Hezekiah married Alice Howland on Apr 10, 1730 in Newberry, MA, daughter of Prince Howland and Deborah Barker. Alice was born on Nov 12, 1709 in Duxbury , Plymouth, Mass and died on Oct 13, 1785 in Duxbury , Plymouth, Mass.
Noted events in her life were:
• Other: Mayflower Descendent Of Richard Warren.
Children from this marriage were:
+ 55 M i. William Keene was born on Apr 27, 1753 in Marshfield, Plymouth , MA, died on Jul 21, 1821 in Bristol, Lincoln, ME, and was buried in Keene/ Hillside Cemetery , Bremen , Lincoln Co, ME.
+ 56 M ii. Prince Keene was born in 1730.
+ 57 M iii. Charles Keene was born in 1732.
+ 58 M iv. Mark Keene was born in 1735.
+ 59 M v. Robert Keene was born in 1736.

+ 63 M ix. Hezekiah Keene was born in 1746.
+ 64 M x. Daniel Keene was born in 1748.
+ 65 F xi. Mary Keene was born in 1750.
35. Benjamin Keene was born on Jul 26, 1682.
Benjamin married Deborah Barker in 1710, daughter of Robert Barker and Alice Snowe. Deborah was born on Nov 7, 1686 in Duxbury, Mass and died on Oct 7, 1736 in Duxbury, Mass.
General Notes: Here it is interesting to note that Prince's widow, Deborah, married Benjamin Keen, older brother of Hezekiah, the husband of her daughter,Alice. This made her not only Hezekiah's mother-in-law but also his sister-in-law. This does not seem odd when one realizes that Benjamin was 20 years older than Hezekiah, Benjamin being the first born of the eleven children of Josiah and Lydia Keen and Hezekiah being the last born.

General Notes: With nine sons and no daughters, Carpenter and Elizabeth adopted Lydia Smith who eventually married a man named Henry Smith
The family of Carpenter Winslow, who came from first Pittston, then Wiscasset, then Bristol Maine, in 1818, were the first to settle in what is now Gaskill township which occupies the southeastern corner of Jefferson county, PA. . They cleared the land and made the first improvements. The family of Carpenter Winslow, who came from Maine, in 1818, were the first to settle the old homestead in what is now Gaskill (then Perry Township)township, Jefferson County Pa. They cleared the land and made the first improvements. Leaving Maine where Carpenter owned a shipyard they came to Gaskill Township by way of the Chesapeake Bay and the West Branch of the Susquehanna River.
They were early pioneers to Elk County. Natives of Maine, they came to Clearfield County, PA. in 1820. They lived there one year, then went to Punxsutawney, PA until 1828, when they removed to Benezette Township, Elk County. They apparently endured many hardships incident to pioneer life, bringing all their provisions in a canoe from Lock Haven (a distance of 75 miles), taking two and a half days to push the canoe up the stream.
It is said he first made a temporary location in Clearfield County in 1819 at which time he purchased his farm in what is now Gaskill Township and after erecting buildings settled there in 1821. Was the first family to settle in Gaskill Township which was then dense wilderness and the had to undergo many privations. They found healthy climate and where soil thought hard to clear was productive and soon had grain and feed . and with surrounding forests and streams had game and fish . One difficulty was to carry gain 20 plus miles to a mill. Soon Dr John W Jenks came and so did the Bowers family. approximately 1818, Carpenter and Elizabeth Colburn Winslow and their extended families traveled from Maine on the Atlantic Ocean to the Chesapeake Bay; to the Susquehanna River; and following the West Branch of the Susquehanna arrived in Clearfield, PA. Here Carpenter built a bridge across the Susquehanna, and after a short time, the families moved overland to Gaskill Township, just outside Punxsutawney, PA, where they established a homestead. In 1828, Carpenter Winslow, Jr. and his wife, Beulah Keene Winslow, along with his brothers, Reuben and Ebenezer Winslow, moved on to what is now Winslow Hill in Benezette, Elk County, PA.

General Notes: Carpenter and Beulah had 10 boys and 4 girls. They were early pioneers to Elk County. Natives of Maine, they came to Clearfield County, PA in 1821. They lived one year there, then went to Punxsutawney, PA until 1828, when they moved to Benezette Township, Elk County. They apparently endured many hardships incident to pioneer life, bringing all their provisions in a canoe from Lock Haven ( a distance of 75 miles), taking two and a half days to push the canoe up the stream. Carpenter chose a small farm about a quarter mile east of Benezette. Carpenter had a son George who gave his name to Winslow Hill before he died in 1905. Carpenter raised his family on a 600 acre farm in Benezette. The cemetery on Winslow Hill is a part of this farm. Winslow Hill is the most scenic spot in the Benezette area because of the view from the top of the hill. In approximately 1818, Carpenter and Elizabeth Colburn Winslow and their extended families traveled from Maine on the Atlantic Ocean to the Chesapeake Bay; to the Susquehanna River; and following the West Branch of the Susquehanna arrived in Clearfield, PA. Here Carpenter built a bridge across the Susquehanna, and after a short time, the families moved overland to Gaskill Township, just outside Punxsutawney, PA, where they established a homestead. In 1828, Carpenter Winslow, Jr. and his wife, Beulah Keene Winslow, along with his brothers, Reuben and Ebenezer Winslow, moved on to what is now Winslow Hill in Benezette, Elk County, PA.
He was elected supervisor in the first Benezette Township elections of 1846. In 1844 was listed a resident taxpayer of Jay township along with Reuben , E.C. and Charles Winslow. Carpenter and Beulah lived with son George during the latter years of their life.

General Notes: Reuben Colburn Winslow came to Benezette with his brothers- Carpenter and Ebenezer, - ( brother James and Joseph stayed in the Punxsutawney area) before 1830 and is considered the official founder of the Town and Township of Benezette. He became an extensive landowner by purchasing several hundred acres of land in and near Benezette- located from Spring and Trout Runs to Austern's and Dent's Runs.
Reuben and his brothers operated their lumbering business along the Bennett's Branch lands.
The coal veins - called the Winslow Colliery- in this area were among the first and the best. He was also a prominent merchant and one of Elk County's first commissioners in 1843. On April 26, 1871 Reuben C Winslow was killed in a train wreck near Cook's Run between Philadelphia and Benezette. Being on business for his railroad- the Winslow Colliery Railroad- at the time, he was the first one to be rescued. However realizing himself he was too badly wounded he told the rescuers to try and instead save the lives of the other passengers. Benezette's first election was held in February 1846. E. E. Winslow was chosen Justice, Carpenter Winslow as Supervisor; R. C. Winslow as school director; Charles Winslow as fence viewer. The first coal veins that were worked were the Winslow's at the location where Spring Run empties into Trout Run. In 1870 one of Benezette's lumberman was D. B. Winslow. Also in 1870 the "Winslow" hotel was in business. The best known farming area early in Benezette was Winslow Hill.

Excerpts from the Winslow Colliery Railroad by Samuel King
The story of the Winslow Colliery Railroad which was intended as a link in a transcontinental system by English capitalists is a fascinating chapter in the history of this region. The story was originally by Herman MacMinn whose father was chief engineer of the ill -started project.
The Winslow family originally came to Pennsylvania at an early date from the state of Maine. Of the four brothers James settled near Punxsutawney and Carpenter, Ebenezer, and Reuben came to Bennett's Valley before 1830. Carpenter choose a small farm about a quarter mile ease of Benezette, Reuben became the founder of the community of Benezette, and Ebenezer lived a mile west where Julius Jones later did. Carpenter had a son named George who gave his name to Winslow Hill before he died in 1905. Eben and his family went west in 1858.
Reuben became an extensive landowner, and the Pennsylvania Archives list purchases made by him and his brother Eben as early as 1833 and 1837. Shortly after these dates, surveys were made up the Bennett's Branch and Trout Run for the Sunbury and Eric Railroad. Again in 1855 a second survey was made, and Reuben Winslow had high expectations that his coal and timber would soon have a way to reach urban markets. To his disappointment , the railroad was built up Driftwood Branch to Emporium. His first thought was to build a sixteen mile spur to the Philadelphia and Eric (as the railroad was now called) at Driftwood. With the legal assistance of his son-in-law, Rush Petrikin, an attorney at Bellafonte and perhaps the only graduate of West Point from Benezette Township. Winslow applied in 1862 to the legislature for a charter. Under the provisions of this incorporation , the Winslow Colliery Railroad was capitalized at $200,000. Before work could begin on construction, however, other events altered the original purpose of this project.

His last command was the ship Levant, owned by Messrs. James and Thomas- II. Perkins, stationed at Liutin, China, where he remained some three years, retiring in 1830, when he settled in Maiden, now Everett, Mass. In 1819, while crossing the Atlantic, he sighted and defined the position of a rock that had been considered doubtful.
In Malden, Mr. Winslow soon became identified with the interests of the town, but invariably declined public office. He was, however, induced to accept the appointment from Governor Briggs as state commissioner under an act incorporating the proprietors of Maiden bridge. A brief extract from an article written by his minister, Rev. John G. Adams, will convoy to the readers the esteem in which he was held by the town of his adoption.
"Nine mouths ago our friend left his home for California, taken there by business and a desire to meet his only son, who had been absent from home some years, and who had crossed the Pacific from China to take up his residence in the new land of success and failure. His death is an affliction to us all: to the town, to the neighborhood in which he lived, to our church, to his dear family, and to many other families and friends. He had resided here more than twenty years. He was one of our most efficient citizens. His retiring from business was not retiring from active life. He was still the busy man, taking care of what he had accumulated, and doing good with it. His generous-heartedness was proverbial. On many an occasion has it been evidenced to his credit, and to the credit of us all. His good taste, his love of order, his prudence as well as liberality in expenditure, his integrity and honesty, are all but so many other commendations of his character as a public citizen. In these respects he has left the good impression of himself in many ways, in many a mind. He was one of the most able, faithful, and steadfast friends of our society.
"There are those here who have known him longer than myself, who, when aid has been most needed in times of past trial and exertion, have known most his liberality. It was constant and unchanging. His friendships were many and highly valued. Fresh and fragrant will be the rememberance of him in many hearts."

General Notes: Carpenter and Beulah had 10 boys and 4 girls. They were early pioneers to Elk County. Natives of Maine, they came to Clearfield County, PA in 1821. They lived one year there, then went to Punxsutawney, PA until 1828, when they moved to Benezette Township, Elk County. They apparently endured many hardships incident to pioneer life, bringing all their provisions in a canoe from Lock Haven ( a distance of 75 miles), taking two and a half days to push the canoe up the stream. Carpenter chose a small farm about a quarter mile east of Benezette. Carpenter had a son George who gave his name to Winslow Hill before he died in 1905. Carpenter raised his family on a 600 acre farm in Benezette. The cemetery on Winslow Hill is a part of this farm. Winslow Hill is the most scenic spot in the Benezette area because of the view from the top of the hill. In approximately 1818, Carpenter and Elizabeth Colburn Winslow and their extended families traveled from Maine on the Atlantic Ocean to the Chesapeake Bay; to the Susquehanna River; and following the West Branch of the Susquehanna arrived in Clearfield, PA. Here Carpenter built a bridge across the Susquehanna, and after a short time, the families moved overland to Gaskill Township, just outside Punxsutawney, PA, where they established a homestead. In 1828, Carpenter Winslow, Jr. and his wife, Beulah Keene Winslow, along with his brothers, Reuben and Ebenezer Winslow, moved on to what is now Winslow Hill in Benezette, Elk County, PA.
He was elected supervisor in the first Benezette Township elections of 1846. In 1844 was listed a resident taxpayer of Jay township along with Reuben , E.C. and Charles Winslow. Carpenter and Beulah lived with son George during the latter years of their life.

General Notes: AUGUSTUS GASKILL WINSLOW (1841-1928) from "History of Jefferson County, Pennsylvania" (1888) by Kate M. Scott
"Gaskill, Big Run, Hudson P.O., was a son of JOSEPH W. and CHRISTIANA (LONG) WINSLOW of Gaskill and a grandson of CARPENTER and ELIZABETH (COLBURN) WINSLOW. He was born in Pittston, Mass (Maine)., on Mar. 22, 1866 (1766). His [4th] great-grandfather was KENELM WINSLOW, who came on the second voyage of the Mayflower from England. AUGUSTUS was born in Gaskill, Jefferson Co. in 1842 and was married in 1870 to EVELINE BELL. She died in 1883, leaving a family of 3 children: ANNIE M., MAGGIE E., and EDITH BLANCHE. He then married his second wife, BARBARA [PIFER not Piper] of Henderson, in April 1885. She was a daughter of JONAS and ELIZABETH [PIFER] of Henderson. AUGUSTUS GASKILL became engaged in the lumber business in 1866 and in 1880 erected a steam sawmill of 25 horse power on the Ugly Run Stream. He was the founder of the post office at Hudson and held the office of postmaster for about 17 years, only giving it up when President Cleveland took his seat. He enlisted in Co. B., 74th PA Vols., under Colonel Scorbury, and served until the close of the [Civil] war."
"Augustus G. Winslow Honored on 86th Anniversary of Birth"
"The celebration last Saturday of the eighty-sixth birthday anniversary of AUGUSTUS GASKILL WINSLOW, of Gaskill township, at his home at Winslow Station, brought together thirty or forty relatives and a few old friends, who enjoyed an afternoon of communion and feasting. Few men of his age are so well preserved and so clear in mind as is Mr. WINSLOW, whose life goes back to the days of Daniel Webster and Henry Clay, and who served time in the Union army during the Civil War.
"The Winslows came to this part of the country from the state of Maine about 1815, the head of the family being CARPENTER WINSLOW, who brought several of his nine sons with him. They settled near where the celebration of last week was held and two or three farms there are held by descendants of the original stock. The Winslow family, which traces its descent from the Wyncelowes of London and Oxford city in the early 1500s, came to the country on the Mayflower, in the person of EDWARD WINSLOW, afterwards governor of Plymouth Colony. His younger brother, KENELM WINSLOW, came in 1628, and from him sprang the large connection in New England and over the country generally.
"Through KENELM WINSLOW, JOB, JAMES, another JAMES, CARPENTER and JOSEPH WOOD WINSLOW came AUGUSTUS WINSLOW, the seventh generation from KENELM, and the eighth, ninth, tenth and later generations quite numerous hereabout[s]. Mrs. MINERVA BOWERS and Mrs. MARY E. WINSLOW [Long], two sisters of Mr. WINSLOW, are still living and in good health." 18 Jan 1927
"AUGUSTUS WINSLOW CIVIL WAR VETERAN DIED SUDDENLY SUN." 18 Mar 1928
"Lifelong Resident of Winslow Station Dies After Brief Illness."
"AUGUSTUS GASKILL WINSLOW, veteran of the Civil War, a life-long resident of Gaskill Township and one of the best known and best liked citizens of this locality, died Sunday morning at his home at Winslow Station. He had been in his usual health, but had some distress during the preceding night and sat up much of the night. About six in the morning he lay down on the davenport, where he passed away almost instantly, with only his wife present.
"Mr. WINSLOW was born on the farm near his late residence on January 15, 1841, and was one of the three sons of JOSEPH WOOD WINSLOW, one of the early settlers, AUGUSTUS being of the seventh generation from the Mayflower pioneers. He served in the 7th Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers during the later years of the war, and for many years kept a store at Winslow, also engaging in farming and lumbering. September 29, 1870, he married EVELINE BELL, daughter of JUDGE JAMES H. BELL, and to this union three daughters were born, all of whom are living: Mrs. JOHN DOUGHERTY [Anne], Mrs. W. A. BOWERS [Edith], and Mrs. HARRY FRAMPTON [Margaret]. Mrs. [Eveline Bell] WINSLOW died 1882, and on April 23, 1885 he married Miss BARBARA PIFER of DuBois. He is also survived by two sisters, Mrs. WILLIAM W. BOWERS [Minerva], Mrs. MARY WINSLOW [Long ], and by many other relatives.
"He was a man of the highest character, and his integrity, frankness and generosity, his confidence in his fellow man, and his devotion to his church and the best institutions of his country, marked him as a Christian gentleman of the most admirable type. He desired no public honors, but he set a high standard for men who sought the public confidence. To do justice, love mercy, and to walk humbly with his God -- these were the ideals that characterized his life throughout.
"Tuesday afternoon at three o'clock brief services will be held at his home, conducted by a neighbor, Mr. Bowers, formerly a minister; that evening his remains will be bought to the residence of W. A. Bowers [son-in-law], on East Mahoning Street, where the burial services will be conducted by Dr. Lyons, of the Methodist church.

General Notes: From Pa biographies: WINSLOW, HON. REUBEN C. The history of the Winslow family dates back to the pilgrim settlers of Plymouth, Mass. The founder of the family, Kenelm Winslow, son of Edward Winslow, of Droitwich, England, was born at that place on the 29th of April, 1599. He was the younger brother of Governor Winslow, and arrived at Plymouth in the Mayflower in 1629\emdash this was the Mayflower's second voyage. He settled at Marshfield, Mass., but subsequently removed to Salem, where he died on the 13th of September, 1672, aged seventy-three years. Some of his descendants still reside upon the property which he purchased from the Indians April 2, 1659.
Carpenter Winslow was his great, and was born at Pittston, Mass., March 20, 1766. His father, James Winslow, was a millwright, and he very early became familiar with the use of mechanical implements, and was afterwards engaged in ship building\emdash having a ship yard at Wiscasset, Me., for several years. He married Elizabeth Colburn in 1787, and was the father of nine sons, four of whom became noted seamen.
In the year of 1818 this branch of the Winslow family came to Jefferson county, and Carpenter Winslow settled on what is now the old homestead, in Gaskill township. The county was then a dense wilderness, and like all new settlers they had to undergo untold privations; but they found themselves in a healthy climate, and where the soil, though hard to "clear," was productive, so that they were soon able to raise grain and feed in abundance, while the surrounding forests and streams afforded them game and fish. One of their difficulties was having to carry their grain twenty or more miles along bridle- paths through the forest to mill.
In a few months the family of Dr. John W. Jenks came into the neighborhood, and with some others settled in what is now Punxsutawney, and the Bowers family located near the Winslows. These were followed by other settlers, and they soon found themselves in the midst of a good neighborhood, which is today one of the best farming sections of the county.
Carpenter Winslow died in November, 1827, his wife surviving him about eighteen years. Both are buried in the cemetery near Punxsutawney. Only two of his sons, James and Joseph W., father of R. C. Winslow, still survive. The rest have all passed away, leaving however, a large posterity, who are among the most prominent and best citizens of Jefferson and Elk counties. Joseph W. Winslow the youngest son of Carpenter Winslow, was born at Wiscasset, Me., December 10, 1804, and in 1832 married Christena Long, youngest daughter of Joseph Long, of Punxsutawney. Their family consisted of eleven children, four sons and seven daughters, who were all born at the old homestead, and who all survive, except a son and daughter who died in infancy. Mr. Winslow has resided on his farm for almost seventy years, and is now one of the patriarchs of the county. Two of his sons, Augustus G. and Joseph Clark Winslow, reside with their venerable parent at the homestead.
Reuben C. Winslow, the eldest son, was born November 9, 1833, and worked on the farm at home, getting his schooling in the winter until he was in his twenty-second year. He read law with Phineas W. Jenks, Esq., of Punxsutawney, and was admitted to practice at the February term, 1858, and entered into partnership with his preceptor, the firm of Jenks & Winslow continuing until May, 1880, when it was dissolved, and the same month Mr. Winslow entered into partnership with John E. Calderwood, the firm of Winslow & Calderwood still continuing.
Mr. Winslow was married to Miss Martha Drum, youngest daughter of the late John Drum, Esq., of Punxsutawney, June 24, 1858. The result of this union was two sons, John Carlton, born June 13, 1859, and Willie W., born May 7, 1862. The eldest son, Carlton, died November 11, 1881.
Mr. Winslow is a Republican in politics, and was elected to the State Senate in 1874. He still resides in Punxsutawney, where his home is one of the most beautiful in that thriving town.
In September 1864 at 31 years he purchased the ground along then Torrence Street for his new residence for $2500 a sizable sum for the time. this tract consisted of 12 acres which already adjoined land already owned by R C Winslow and stretched north to the Armory grounds and west toward what is now Mitchell Street.
The Jefferson County Recorders office lists more than 250 real estate transactions from 1864 to 1910 . Selling various tracts and lots of the years but retaining the adjoining pieces in 1909 at the age of 77 R C and his wife Martha conveyed the lot on the east to their son Willie and on the west to their grandson Eugene whom they raised. Willie and Eugene both constructed Tudor style homes on these lots.

General Notes: I am a descendent of Lucy Winslow, the daughter of William Winslow b. 1785 in Freetown, Mass. He like many other Winslows was descended from Kenelm Winslow. My ancestor Lucy came to SC with her sister Jane sometime around 1830.
There are two family stories. One is that Jane came to teach school and Lucy her younger sister came with her. The two girls were left orphans before they were 18.
Another story which has a ring of truth is that Lucy's father came South to assist William Gregg on a textile venture. According to the story Gregg had made trips to New England on behalf of the industrial world. It is speculation but it is believed that Gregg hired Winslow on behalf of the SC Railroad Co. Gregg founded textile mills on the SC side of the Savannah River across from Augusta, GA. The town that sprung up was Graniteville, Sc. At one time it was a leading Textile manufacuring town. The land Gregg wanted to buy was owned by my Great, great, great grandfather Ransom Hamilton. Lucy married T, J. Hamilton the son of Ransom. Now that is probably more than you wanted to know.
Did you know that the home that Edward and Kenelm's grandfather lived in in Kempsey, England stil stands? I saw it in 2006--a beautiful thatched roof house. It is currently undergoing serious repairs. Since it is an important house--yes, the people of Kempsey (Worcestershire) are proud to claim the Winslows-- and well over 400 years old every repair has to be done just as it was done way back in the early 1500s. It cost over 75 thousand to rethatch the roof! The current owner --not a Winslow- says it will cost around $1,000,000 to restore it. And they call it a cottage!

Lucy married Thomas Jefferson Hamilton in 1837. Thomas was born in 1813 and died in 1899.
Children from this marriage were:
+ 354 M i. William Winslow Hamilton was born in 1850 and died in 1916.
+ 355 F ii. Fannie Hamilton
164. William Keene Winslow was born on Aug 16, 1846 in Winslow Farm, Benezette, Elk Co, PA, died on Aug 3, 1913 in University Hospital, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and was buried in 1913 in Mt Pleasant Cemetery, Benezette, PA.
General Notes: WILLIAM KEENE WINSLOW was born on his father's, Charles Keene Winslow, farm in Benezette on 1875. During his youth he helped his father clear and farm this land. Later in life he would purchase the homestead making his home here. William had a serious injury when he accidentally stepped backwards into a hay chute on the barn floor and fell to the basement causing him to be paralyzed. The doctor, feeling that he had fractured his spine, made arrangements to have him taken to the University Hospital in Philadelphia. As this was a matter of urgency, preparations were quickly made to have Winslow taken to Philadelphia by train. The train was given direct right-of-way and made the run in record time. Winslow was met at Thirty Second and Market Streets by an ambulance, and rushed to the hospital. An operation was immediately performed, but Winslow died. His wife Mary, sick with cancer, died within the year, never knowing the fate of her husband. From the Renova Daily Record: Winslow was taken to the hospital on Saturday in a special train after he had fallen down stairs at home. The run between Driftwood and that city was made in record time, the train having been given the right of way.
Their Winslow homestead is no longer owned by the family but is being currently in 2010 renovated. It is located at the bottom of the valley on Dewey Road in Winslow Hill. Like other farmers in the past, the Winslows would rent out a bedroom to the hunters during the hunting season. This homestead had a large bedroom on the second floor which contained over 6 beds for the hunters. Some hunters also stayed in the attic which was made into a bedroom. This rent income was a valuable cash resource for many farmers in the area.

Gone but not forgotten
A precious one from us has gone,
A voice we loved is still,
A place is vacant in our home,
Which never can be filled,
God in His wisdom has recalled,
The boon his love had given,
And though the body slumbers here,
The soul is safe in Heaven
