5201 probable place of birth Hapgood, Thomas (I8676)
 
5202 Probable son of Thomas and Margaret Hathway of Kingscote, Gloucestershire, England per the Hathawayfamilyassociation.org. The best reference on this is The Hathaways of America by Elizabeth Starr Versailles published 1965. The book notes the will of Margaret Hataway, the widow of Thomas Hathaway, which mentioned two sons, Nicholas and Abraham. The book notes that Hathaway is a fairly common name in England, although Nicholas and Abraham are not. There are no other parish references to be found to a Nicholas. The name Abraham appears as a grandson of Nicholas. That is not enough evidence to conclude that Nicholas is the son of Thomas and Margaret. At best, we can say the possible Nicholas is the son of Thomas and Margaret Hathaway of Kingscote, Gloucestershire, England. Hathaway, Nicholas (I7536)
 
5203 probable typo should be 1845 based on age Irish, Mariah {Maria} (I5026)
 
5204 probable, based on fathers residence Huff, Abraham (I7744)
 
5205 probable, based on fathers residence Huff, William Edwards (I7745)
 
5206 Probably Owen, John (I3374)
 
5207 Probably Johnson, John (I7183)
 
5208 Probably Johnson, Solomon (I8723)
 
5209 probably 1879 or 1880; she is on 1880 census as 1 Gordon, Edna Sarah (I6658)
 
5210 probably 1898 Schultz, Joseph Lloyd (I5378)
 
5211 Probably Birth Place Loker alias Riddlesdale, Anne-Hannah (I7201)
 
5212 Probably born in England Unknown, AnnHannah (I6204)
 
5213 Probably born in Westerly probably several years earlier. He was baptized the same day as 3 other of Samuels' children. Samuel apparently baptized his children in mass when he moved to another church. Allen, Thomas (I2164)
 
5214 Probably Correct Stebbins, Edward (I3567)
 
5215 Probably daughter of Johannes and Philipina Hergenroeder of Kukkus. The Kukkus 1798 Census does not list Maria Barbara as being from another colony, so it is presumed that she was born in Kukkus. Which implies she could only be the daughter of Johannes as this is the only Hergenroeder family in Kukkus. 1834 census lists Anna Barbara as her name. However the Hergenroeder Surname Chart by Pleve does not show Johannes having this child. But again there is a 9 year gap between children, so it is possible that there could be an unknown or unrecorded birth in that gap.
We strongly suspect that Maria Barbara is the daughter of Johannes and Philipina Hergenroeder of Kukkus based on the following facts:

1) The Philipina Hergenroeder household is the only other Hergenroeder Family in Kukkus in 1798.

2) The 1798 census does list the village a spouse came from if not from the current village. The 1798 Kukkus Census does not list Maria Barbara as being from another colony, so it is presumed that she was born in Kukkus. Which implies she could only be the daughter of Johannes as this is the only Hergenroeder family in Kukkus.

3) Johannes was having childen that we know of from 1769 to 1793. There is a 9 year gap from 1772 to 1783 where no children are known. It is possible that Maria Barbara was born in this gap in 1775.

Records from this time and place are simply incomplete. But based on what we know, it is most likely that Maria Barbara is the daughter of Johannes Hergenroeder. Perhaps eventually we will find records to confirm or to dispute that, but for now I am listing Maria Barbara in the genealogy under Johannes Hergenroeder. 
Hergenroeder, Maria Barbara (I4615)
 
5216 Probably Devonshire Tozier, Richard (I7300)

5229 Probably same person entered incorrectly. both baum and heinrich surname charts have same marriage year. his birthday is different in each though. her birth year is the same in each, one spells it baum onebauer. Heinrich, Andreas (I3339)
 
5230 Probably Stow Wetherbee, David (I7247)
 
5231 Probably the daughter of Johann Martin Kisselmann b.1772 in Balzer and by 1798 was living in Kukkus. In 1834 Johann Martin Kisselman was living in HH#17, while Johannes Felsing and Maria Elisabeth Kisselman were living in HH#19. Being born in 1814, we do not have a census year which shows a child with her name living in the Johann Martin Kisselmann household.

We strongly suspect that Maria Elisabeth is the daughter of Johann Martin Kisselman and Anna Barbara Maser based on the following facts:

• The 1798 census shows only 4 other Kisselman households in the Volga German colonies. Mathias (Johann Martin's brother) in the nearby village of Anton. Mathias (Johann Martin's father in the nearby village of Balzer. Ludwig (No known relation) in the more distant village of Donhof. And Johannes (no known relation) in the more distant village of Grimm.It is certainly possible that Maria Elisabeth came from one of the households in Anton or Balzer. It is much less likely that she came from the more distant villages of Donhof or Grimm. I know of no Kukkus intermarriages from those last two villages.

• The Johann Martin household is the only other Kisselman Family in Kukkus in 1834.

• Johann Martin lives within 2 households from the Felsings, according to the 1834, 1850 and 1857 census records.

• Johann Martin was having children from 1796 to at least 1812 that we know of. It is possible then that he had a child in 1814.

Records from this time and place are simply incomplete. But based on what we know, it is most likely that Maria Elisabeth is the daughter of Johann Martin. Perhaps eventually we will find records to confirm or to dispute that, but for now I am listing Maria Elisabeth in the genealogy under Johann Martin Kisselman.
 
Kisselman, Maria Elisabeth (I6184)
 
5232 Probably the daughter of Johannes Weigandt of Kukkus. On the 1834 census Johannes lived in HH 9 while she lived in HH 10 with her husband Johann Philipp. Johannes was having children from 1792 to 1815 that we know of. He would have been the only possibility for a father in Kukkus.Markus Weigandt was also in Kukkus, he had one child in 1805 that we know of. Weigandt, Anna Barbara (I3057)

5284 Richard Lyman was baptized in High Ongar, Essex, England on 12 Sept 1611. His parents were Henry Lyman and Elizabeth Rande (TAG 30:187-90). He was married to Sarah Osborn by 1611 in England.

He arrived in New England Sept 1631 with his wife Sarah and children Richard, Sarah, John and Robert. Initially he settled in Roxbury, Massachusetts where he was admitted to the church as member #11. He later moved to Hartford (1636-The Great Removal to Connecticut) where he died. His will was written by him 22 Apr 1640. Eleven months later on 3 Mar 1640/41 he was referred to in a record as being deceased, having died sometime between those two dates.

It has been stated that Sarah Osborn is the daughter of Richard Osborn of Halstead, Kent, but there is no support for that.

Richard Lyman appears in the "Great Migration Begins: Series" and all the above information is from that source.

In a book by Lyman Coleman in 1872 titled "Lyman Family in Great Britain and America" gives a lengthy genealogy of Richard Lyman's ancestors in England. This genealogy has since been disproved and we can not be certain of any ancestors beyond his father and two generations beyond his mother.

Among the descendants of Richard Lyman are Samuel Colt, Lyman Hall (Signer of the Declaration of Independence), J.P. Morgan, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Julia Gardiner Tyler, and the Wright Brothers, Wilbur and Orville.

His father remarried Leah Furler in Trafalger about 1 1/2 years later. Richard shows on the 1851 census as lving in Trafalgar with his grandfather Thomas Hinton. His name is listed as Richard Hinton. In the 1861 census he is still with Thomas Hinton, however this time his name is listed as Richard Gordon.

5296 Robert Avenel (died 8 March 1185) was a 12th-century Anglo-Norman magnate. He was ruler of the small former Northumbrian province of Eskdale in Dumfriesshire, as well as Abercorn in West Lothian.[1] He was one of a small number of Anglo-Norman immigrants to have been given a provincial lordship in southern Scotland in the early-to-mid 12th century.[2] For some period in the 1170s he served as Justiciar in Lothian (along with three others).[3] He also had some part of the township of Innerwick.[4] He seems to have held this of Walter fitz Alan.[4] He passed this on to his younger son Vincent.[4] His nephew Glai or Glay may have held part of Innerwick too.[4]

He died on 8 March 1185, according to the Chronicle of Melrose

Robert Avenel, our novice-associate, died on the eighth day before the Ides of March. He gave to God, and to St Mary and the monks of Melrose, his land of Eskdale, as his charter testifies; may his blessed soul ever live in glory.[5]

He had entered the monastery of Melrose shortly before his death.[6] He had three sons, by his wife Sybil, Gervase, Vincent and Robert, the latter of whom became a clerk.[7] Gervase was Robert's principal heir, and the latter also served as Justiciar of Lothian.[8]

Robert had a daughter who was a concubine of William the Lion, king of the Scots.[9] The king and Robert Avenel's daughter had a daughter named Isabella, who was given as wife in 1183 to Robert III de Brus, son of Robert II de Brus, lord of Annandale.[9] After her husband died in 1191, she was married to the Yorkshire Anglo-Norman Robert, Baron de Ros (died 1226).[10]

5297 Robert Burrows was born in England. His parents are not known. He was married about 1641 at Wethersfield, CT to Mrs. Mary Ireland , widow of Samuel Ireland. She was born about 1605 and died 3 October 1672 at Mystic, CT.

Robert came to America on the "Arbella" in 1630 with a group of Puritans on the flagship of Winthrop's Fleet. Tradition has said that he had been driven out of Manchester, England with his two brothers, John and William because of religious persecution due to their being Baptists. Supposedly, one brother settled in New York and the other in Pennsylvania. No basis has been found for this tradition.

Another theory on his birthplace is that because of his friendship with Robert Parke who also came on the "Arbella" and who came from Lancaster County, England, that this may have been his home. He was apparently also on close terms with Governor Winthrop of Connecticut who often visited him in Mystic.

In 1639, Robert Burrows settled in Wethersfield, CT. He was a carpenter by trade. He moved to Mystic CT and in 1660 was appointed by the General Court of Connecticut as the ferryman across the Mystic River. He ranked third in that town in the amount of taxable property held. Robert Burrows died in August 1682. There is no record of his burial.

Most of the above information comes from the book “Robert Burrows and Descendants” by R Earl Burrows 1975.

Children of Robert and Mary (Ireland) Burrows:
John Burrows , b. 1642. Marr. 14 Dec 1670, Hannah Culver . Died 12 Feb 1715/16.

Samuel Burrows , b. abt. 1645. Died before 1712, unmarried.

On 1 April 1653, "William Goulder, inhabitant of the village of Gravesande, . declared to have conveyed to Arent van Hattem, mayor of this city of New Amsterdam, a piece of land located on Long Island, bordering on the village of Gravesande, and that by virtue of a letter of attorney and patent granted to him, the grantor, by Robert Pennayer, dated [blank] etc." [NYHM:D, Land Papers, Volumes GG, HH & II, 116; see also NYHM:E, Books of General Entries of the Colony of New York, 1664-1673, 138; NYGBR 16:99, 102]. In late August or early September 1647 [NS], "John Ruckman and Richard Uzell jointly together bought of Rodger Scott the plantation that was Robert Penneer" [Gravesend TR 1:14, 30].

On 27 November 1652, "[a]n agreement [was made] between Ealse Marshell and Robert Penoyer, viz: that the said Ealse Marshell doth pass over and surrender from her and hers the house and land (passed over as above specified from John Watterbery to her) unto Robert Penoy[e]r and his forever as his proper right and title" [Stamford LR 1:56]. (Alice Marshal had acquired this land from John Waterbury just three weeks earlier, on 6 November 1652 [Stamford LR 1:56].) On 23 [worn] 1654, "Robert Penoyre of Stanford" sold to "Steeven Clawson of the same plantation . my now dwelling house in Stanford . with the home garden and yard and homelot, also two acres of upland in the North Planting Field ., also two acres and a half of upland in the said field ., also four acres and a half of upland lying by the river in the said field ., also two acres of meadow lying in the East Field" [Stamford LR A:2]. On [8 July?] 1666, "Robert Penoyre of Stanford" sold to "Thomas Lawrence of the same place . my dwelling house, housage & homelot situate in Stanford ., also six acres of upland" [Stamford LR A:3]. (These two documents are extremely worn and difficult to read and a third deed in the same sequence, being the first page in the record volume, is even more worn and illegible [Stamford LR A:1].)

On 20 February 1659[/60?], "Jo[h]n Med" sold to "Robert Penoyer both inhabitants of Stanford and planters, . all my housing and homelot with all appurtenances belonging to it, being two acres . in the East Field, 2 acres meadow . and two acres . in the Seam Field . and in the South Field five acres of upland ., more in the Seam Field three acres and half"; "all which lands as above specified was formerly Danill Scolfield's, only three acres and half that was Wilyam Med's" [Stamford LR 1:48].

On 15 November 166[?], "Robert Penoyer" sold to "Jonat[han] Sellicke" "in the East Field five acres of meadow" [Stamford LR 1:87].

On 24 December 1670, "John Richbell with the free consent & approbation of Ann my wife" sold to "Robert Penoir . two allotments or homelots named No. 2 and No. 3 . together with a certain parcel of land betwixt Sheldrake River & Momoronok River ., together with two-eighths parts of all the upland and meadows above the now common path called Westchester Path" [New York Secretary of State Deeds 6:62-65]. On 8 January 1671/2, "Robert Penoyer of Mamorinock in New Yorkshire" stated that "[w]hereas the said Robert bought & purchased a certain tract and parcel of land of Mr. John Richbell and Anne his wife as by a deed of sale . bearing date December 24, 1670, . the said Robert" deeded to "my dearly beloved children William & Thomas Pennoyre all my estate personal & real, that is to say, all and every part of the land & appurtenances thereunto belonging bought & purchased by me as aforesaid of the said Mr. John & his wife Mrs. Ann Richbell ., together likewise with all my present stock of cattle & their increase ., with all my working tools and all other sort & manner of goods & household goods ., [to] my eldest son William Pennoyre . two-third parts of the said lands, housing, buildings and fencing ., and for the cattle & their increase as aforesaid, and other goods & household stuff as aforesaid, to be equally divided betwixt my said two sons William & Thomas . and my daughter Martha Pennoyer ., the working tools to be equally divided betwixt my two sons William & Thomas ., always provided . that the said Robert shall have the full management & ordering of the said land & cattle during his natural life, and the profits thereof arising, and to give & bequeath by his last will & testament what part of the goods and tools he shall think meet to his daughter Martha Pennoyre or any else" [New York Secretary of State Deeds 6:66-67; Westchester LR B:100].

BIRTH: Baptized St. Thomas, Bristol, 21 November 1614, son of Robert Butler alias Pennoyer [NGSQ 60:244] (aged 21 on 8 September 1635 [Hotten 144]).

DEATH: After June 1678 (on [blank] June 1678, "old Pennoyer" was summoned to court [NYHM:E, The Andros Papers, 1677-78, 388-89).

MARRIAGE: (1) By about 1653 _____ _____. (The deed from Alice Marshall to Robert Pennoyer was made on 27 November 1652 [Stamford LR 1:56], in the year before the estimated year of birth of the eldest known child of Pennoyer. As Alice Marshall had just acquired this land three weeks earlier, and as the deed mentions no consideration, this may have been a deed of gift upon the marriage of Robert Pennoyer, suggesting a possible relationship between his first wife and Alice Marshall.)

(2) By 1672 Mary (_____) Scofield, widow of Richard Scofield (on 6 March 1671[/2], "the widow Scofeild now the wife of Robert Penoer" testified to the accuracy of the inventory of the estate of her deceased husband Richard Schofield [Fairfield PR 2:62; Gillespie Anc 437-40]).

CHILDREN:
With first wife
ELIZABETH PENNOYER, b. about 1653 ("about the age of four and twenty years" on 1 January 1677[/8] [New York Secretary of State Deeds 5:9-13]); m. (license) 1 August 1670 Richard Lounsbury [NYHM:E, Books of General Entries of the Colony of New York, 1664-1673, p. 363; NYMarr 239, 297; NEHGR 108:290-96].

WILLIAM PENNOYER, b. about 1655 ("about the age of two and twenty years" on 1 January 1677[/8] [New York Secretary of State Deeds 5:9-13); m. by about 1681 Mary _____ [NEHGR 108:289-90].

THOMAS PENNOYER, b. Stamford 29 March 1658 [TAG 10:45, 112, citing Stamford LR 1:20, 74] ("about the age of seventeen years" on 1 January 1677[/8] [New York Secretary of State Deeds 5:9-13]); m. Stamford 22 May 1685 Lydia Knapp [TAG 10:175, citing Stamford LR 1:101].

MARY PENNOYER, b. Stamford 25 November 1660 [TAG 10:118, citing Stamford LR 1:98]; no further record.

MARTHA PENNOYER, b. Stamford 26 September 1664 [TAG 10:114, citing Stamford LR 1:76] ("about the age of eleven years" on 1 January 1677[/8] [New York Secretary of State Deeds 5:9-13]); m. Stamford 21 December 16[82?] Henry Rich [TAG 10:175, citing Stamford LR 1:101]. (On 17 November 1687, "Henery Rich of Horseneck have received full satisfaction of my brother Thomas Penoiry forty-seven pounds and one pair of three-year-old steers which was in a bill of [16]84 & also from all debts, dues or demands whatsoever from the beginning of the world to this day" [Stamford LR A:84].)

ASSOCIATIONS: In his will of 25 May 1670, "William Pennoyer, Esq., citizen and cloth-worker of London," included bequests to "Evan Butler of Cusopp, Hereford, . and to his son Walter, now at New England," to "Robert Pennoyer of Stamford in New England," and to "his sister Elianor Reading and her husband Thomas Reading" [Waters 503-7, citing PCC 25 Duke]. On 18 October 1671 at Rye, "Robert Penoyer late of Stanford" appointed "my trusty & well beloved friend Jonathan Sellick to be my true & lawful attorney to demand & receive for me my full legacy left me by my brother Mr. William Penoyer late of London" [SLR 6:280-81]. (Note that this instrument does not call Robert Pennoyer a resident of Rye, but merely states that town as the place where the document was executed. All other records in this period place Robert Pennoyer in Mamaroneck. William Pennoyer transacted business with some Charlestown merchants in 1649 and 1650 [Aspinwall 255, 356-57; WP 5:150].) In 1972 Peter Wilson Coldham published additional records that clarified the relationships among the legatees named by William Pennoyer [NGSQ 60:243-49].

On 1 January 1677[/8?], Richard Loton, surviving executor of the will of William Pennoyer of London, in order to end controversy, offerred a legacy of £600, in place of the £800 specified in the will, "and whereas the said Rob[er]t Pennoyer hath informed the said Richard Loton that he the said Rob[er]t Pennoyer hath only four children living, viz: Elizabeth Pennoyer, W[illia[m Pennoyer, Thomas Pennoyer and Martha Pennoyer, which said Elizabeth is about the age of four and twenty years, the said W[illia]m is about the age of two and twenty years, but the other two children, viz: Thomas Pennoyer and Martha Penoyer, are both of them in minority, viz: the said Thomas Penoyer about the age of seventeen years and the said Martha about the age of eleven years, now know you that we the said Rob[er]t Penoyer & the said Elizabeth Penoyer & W[illia]m Penoyer, being of full age as aforesaid, by and with the consent of the said Thomas Pennoyer and Martha Pennoyer being in minority, . do accept the six hundred pounds sterling . in full of that legacy . by the said W[illia]m Pennoyer aforesaid" [New York Secretary of State Deeds 5:9-13].

On 4 January 1677[/8], "Rob[er]t Penoyer of Memorenock ., turner, W[illia]m Penoyer of the same place, son to the said Rob[er]t, & Rich[ar]d Lounsbry of Rye . together with Elizabeth his wife, eldest daughter of Rob[er]t aforenamed," are bound to "Rich[ar]d Loton of London, Esq., & George Heathcott of the County of Middlesex in England, mariner in the sum of seven hundred and twenty pounds" for the "legacy left them by W[illia]m Penoyer of London, Esq., brother to the abovenamed Robert, in his last will and testament, other than what hath been done by them the first day of this instant month" [New York Secretary of State Deeds 5:23].

On 1 January 1677[/8], "[w]hereas W[illia]m Penoyer, Esq. & Citizen and Clothworker of London, did make and declare his last will and testament bearing date the five and twentieth day of May, Anno Dom[ini] 1670, . and thereby did give and bequeath to Walter Buttler of Greenwich in New England, son of Evan Buttler of Cusopp in the County of Hereford, the sum of threescore pounds ., I the said Walter Buttler" appointed "my trusty friend George Heathcott of the County of Middlesex & in the Kingdom of England, mariner, or his assigns my true and lawful attorney" to recover the legacy [New York Secretary of State Deeds 5:26-27].

Samuel Pennoyer, elder half-brother of Robert Pennoyer, "was apprenticed in 1638 to Matthew Cradock" [NGSQ 60:247, citing "PRO: C2/Chas I/A17/29 and A13/69, Andrewes vs. Pennoyer"]. This meshes very nicely with the presence of Robert Pennoyer at Mystic [Medford], Matthew Cradock's plantation in New England, in 1639 [Lechford 177-78].

Samuel Pennoyer later married Rose Hobson, who married in turn as her second husband SAMUEL DESBOROUGH {1639, New Haven} [NGSQ 60:248; GM 2:2:340].

On 20 July 1639, "Thom[as] Riddings & Ellene Penny" were married at Plymouth [PCR 1:129]. (The bride's name was probably written with a flourish at the end, indicating the elided terminal syllable "er"; if so, the transcriber missed this detail.) Thomas Redding and his wife moved to Scituate and then to Saco [GDMNH 578-79].

Robert Pennoyer and Evan Butler, father of Walter Butler, were first cousins [NGSQ 60:248]. Walter Butler resided in Greenwich, Connecticut [TAG 32:145-46, 33:50-52].

COMMENTS: On 3 September 1639, "Lydia Dastin wife of Josiah Dastin of Charlestowne in New England aged about 26 years sworn saith upon her oath that about a month since this deponent being in the house of Mr. Cradocke at Misticke in a certain room there at meat one Robert Panare offerred violence to her & would have kissed her & offerred to put his hands under her coats & said he came of a woman & knew what belonged to a woman & because her husband was not able to give her a great belly he would help him or such most shameful words & he caused her to cut her hand & her apron in striving with him. And this deponent saith that she refusing to commit this wickedness he used some threatening words as well I will be meet with you but if you will not do it for love you will not for anything else, and this offense being done late upon a last day of the week a little before night this deponent went presently purposing to make it known to Goodman Knight but he was at top of an house & could not conveniently come down at that time and her husband coming home late that night she made it known to him the next evening after" [Lechford 177-78]. On 3 September 1639, "Robert Penyer is bound in £10 to appear at the next Court. Thom[as] Turner & John White are bound in £5 apiece for Peniar's appearance" [MBCR 1:268]. On 31 October 1639, "Robert Penyar appearing, his surety was discharged; but an attachment was granted against Penyar for going away undischarged" [MBCR 1:282]. On 3 December 1639, "Robert Penyar, for his unclean attempt, & his flying when he should have appeared, was censured to be whipped" [MBCR 1:284].

On 1 February 1639[/40], with regard to a dispute "[i]nter Mr. Cradock and W[illia]m Bartlett," "Robert Penoyre said that W[illia]m Bartlett was lame and not able to do anything for about 6 weeks, but after that he did go forth and help to work but could not do as formerly; and further he saith that his brother did help him with some diet, as a cheese of about 20lb. and some biscuit, because he might not eat of the full diet of the family" [WP 4:217].

On 4 September 1642 [NS], at New Amsterdam, "Robbert Pinoyer, plaintiff, vs. Tomas Sandersz, defendant, complaining that he was beaten when he came to get his clothes and tools. The defendant answers that Pinoyer tried to force his door. The plaintiff admits that it took place. Pinoyer is provisionally put under arrest and the fiscal is ordered to seek information" [NYHM:D, Council Minutes, Volume IV, 1638-1649, 158]. On 29 September 1644 [NS], the fiscal sued "Cornelis Pietersen and Laurens Andriesz, both soldiers, for assault committed on Sunday last"; the fiscal fined both soldiers and awarded "fl. 75 . for the benefit of the wounded Robbert Pinoyer, on condition that he pay the surgeon out of the fl. 75" [NYHM:D, Council Minutes, Volume IV, 1638-1649, 239-40].

On 22 March 1643 [NS], "Robert Penoyer, aged twenty-five years," deposed that "on the 21st of March, it being Saturday afternoon, he heard Lysbet Tyse say in the tavern (after he had asked her twice what ailed her): 'Robert, my husband wants to shoot the commander. Go and run after him!" which he, the deponent, immediately did, finding Maryn Adriaensen in the director's chamber with a loaded pistol that was cocked in his hand. He, the deponent, drew the sword from Maryn's side and threw it upon the director's bed" [NYHM:D, Register of the Provincial Secretary, Volume II, 1642-1647, 105-6]. (The director referred to here was William Kieft. This incident may have led to the grant made by Kieft to Pennoyer two years later of a tract of land on the borders of Gravesend.)

On 3 December 1648, "Ro[bert] Penoyer was complained against for misdemeanor, first, that on the last day of the week within night the 30 of November 1648, the said Ro[bert], being overcome with wine, in so much as did most [worn] himself, and abused the watchman, both in words and blows, as is witnessed by Francis Holms and appeared upon Francis Holms his face, and Francis Bell see the wound, and also the said Ro[bert] doth acknowledge the same. Sentence: that the said Ro[bert] is fined to Francis Holms, twenty shillings, and to the town, twenty shillings, to be paid within eight days and that the said Ro[bert] stands bound to his good behavior for one whole year, in the sum of ten pounds forfeiture" [Stamford LR 1:13; TAG 10:43]. On 27 November 1665, upon a "complaint made by Eleser Slawson and Obadyah Seelly against Robert Penoyer for being drunk aboard the vessel appearing by his staggering and 'roughunall' words and a quarrelling and challenging of [Oba]dyah Seelly to fight with him with weapons and striking of Obadyah [Seel]ly, testified upon oath by the said Eleser and Obadiah and Jo[h]n Miller; [worn] the said Penoyer offensive carriages for his being drunk, it being the second time according to the law, is fined 20s. and ten shillings the first time, which is 30s., and for his quarrelling and challenging to fight and disturbing the peace, and persons in particular, he is bound in a bond of ten pounds [worn] his good behavior until the next Court of Fearfield" [Stamford LR 2:6].

On 18 June 1667, "Robbert Penoyre" was represented in the Court of Burgomasters and Schepens by "John Rishbel" [Fernow 6:80]. Pennoyer had sold what may have been the last of his Stamford land in 1666 [Stamford LR A:2], so this record may reflect his move to Mamaroneck in late 1666 or early 1667.

Pope suggested that this immigrant "may be the same as Robert Pen or Penny, at Salem, 1638" [Pope 353]. On 29 October 1638, "Robert Penn is admitted to be an inhabitant here at Salem" [STR 1:73]. On 12 November 1638, "Robert Penny" was one of six Salem men to have "a ten-acre lot" to each of them [STR 1:74]. Robert Pennoyer was residing at Mystic [Medford] in 1639, so this is probably a different man.

Both Jacobus and Holman included in this family a sixth child, a daughter Abigail, born at Stamford on 13 October 1666 [Miner Anc 146; NEHGR 108:290]. Births for Robert Pennoyer's third, fourth and fifth children were recorded at Stamford, but no birth record for this supposed daughter Abigail appears in Stamford records. Such a child was included by Huntington in his summary of early Stamford vital records arranged by family [Stamford Hist 163]. Note, however, that Robert's son Thomas did have a daughter Abigail, also born on 13 October, but exactly twenty years later, in 1686 [TAG 10:177, citing Stamford LR 1:102]. Huntington created this nonexistent child by scrambling up his notes, and was copied by Jacobus and Holman.

BIBLIOGRAPHIC NOTE: In 1928 Donald Lines Jacobus prepared a brief account of this immigrant and his family [Miner Anc 144-46]. In 1954 Winifred Lovering Holman published a somewhat more detailed treatment of Robert Pennoyer [NEHGR 108:287-90].
 
Pennoyer, Robert (I1963)
 
5300 Robert Williamse married Grace Cerant, the widow of Jean Beesley(beselie, beesly, beasly), 19 Beb 1689 in the NYC Ref Church. There are some references to her as Grace Haring, perhaps an earlier marriage? Her maiden name is in some doubt. Banns filed 2 Feb 1689. Baptism in 1712 has Robbart Willems and Maria Cenniff. Real question on her surname. Probably a French name which is difficult for Dutch and English people to understand.

Her first name appears as Grace, Grees & Greest.

Gressje Cerant (Grace Serant) was born in 1667, perhaps in France. She first married John Beselie in 1684. Gressje died in Tarrytown, NY.

Jean/John Besly/Beselie (c.1645, Rochelle, France - bef. 1689, Croton Point, NY), a fugitive Huguenot from the Isle de Re, two miles off the coast of Rochelle, France, possible, but unproven, son of Jean Besly & Louise Sauton, [Alternatively, it has been postulated that Jean was brother of Oliver Besly of Isle de Re.] With presumed brother or cousin, Etienne (c.1650), he emigrated to New York in 1681. Our Huguenot ancestor Rene REZEAU from the Miller line also fled the Isle de Re in 1685, eventually, arriving with his family in New York City. Here they joined the French Church, finally, they moved permanetly in Staten Island.

Gressje Cerant (Grace Serant) was born in 1667, perhaps in France. She first married John Beselie in 1684. Gressje died in Tarrytown, NY.

Jean/John Besly/Beselie (c.1645, Rochelle, France - bef. 1689, Croton Point, NY), a fugitive Huguenot from the Isle de Re, two miles off the coast of Rochelle, France, possible, but unproven, son of Jean Besly & Louise Sauton, [Alternatively, it has been postulated that Jean was brother of Oliver Besly of Isle de Re.] With presumed brother or cousin, Etienne (c.1650), he emigrated to New York in 1681. Our Huguenot ancestor Rene REZEAU from the Miller line also fled the Isle de Re in 1685, eventually, arriving with his family in New York City. Here they joined the French Church, finally, they moved permanetly in Staten Island.

Gressje Cerant’s husband Jean Besley had to sell his home in St Martin, Isle de Re and flee to America.

“Jean Besly marchand demeurant cy devant en la ville de saint Martin en L’isle de Ré, est aussy fugitif du Royanne et a laissé. -Une maison, une piece de terre y joignant situeéan lien des prises en l’Isle de Ré…”

“Jean Besly, merchant living formerly in the city of St. Martin in Isle of Re, is also a fugitive of the crown and at large. -One house, one piece of land there adjoining the seizure on the Isle of Re…”

Jean married c.1670 Grace (Grees) Cerant of/or Heering, presumably of French birth. Because no record of this marriage can be found in the early New York church records, it is likely that they were married before they embarked for America. Upon arrival, they moved north along the Hudson and settled “among the aborigines” near Croton Point, just north of the Croton river.
