[WILL OF THOMAS KING, SR.]

A Controversy Over the Mode of Baptism:

("Scituate and Barnstable Church Records," Register, 10 [1856]: 42). Thomas King, William Vassall, and Gilbert and William Brooks were also Blessing passengers who settled in Scituate.

John Stockbridge probably did not come to New England for religious freedom, but more likely for better economic conditions. There is no indication of his membership in the church, only the name of his wife Ann appearing in the records. "Goodwife Stockbridge" joined the church in Scituate on 16 July 1637 (ibid., 9 [1855]: 280), and soon was active in the controversy which split the church a few years later. The first minister, the Reverend John Lothrop, had a congregation unsettled over the mode of baptism, and in 1639 he and about half of the members left for Barnstable. Ann Stockbridge was among those who remained, under the leadership of Timothy Hatherly. The following year Charles Chauncey of Plymouth was called as the new pastor. Ann, with William Vassall and his daughter Judith, Elder King and his wife Sarah, Thomas Lapham, and John Twisden refused to join the call for Mr. Chauncey, as outlined in their "Renewal of Covenant by the Church of Christ in Scituate, distinct from that of which Mr Chauncy is Pastor," dated 2 February 1642/3 (Deane, Hist. of Scituate, 59-61).

Further evidence of the baptism controversy in the Scituate church is found in the Stockbridge family, for although their daughter Hannah was baptized by Mr. Lothrop in 1637, daughter Elizabeth was taken to Boston for baptism in 1642, "to avoid her being immersed, as Mr. Chauncey insisted must be done" (Charles Henry Pope, The Pioneers of Massachusetts [Boston, 1900], 435). Four years later, when the first child of John Stockbridge by his second wife was baptized, it was done by the Reverend William Witherell, who had been ordained as minister of the second church at Scituate on 2 September 1645 (Deane, Hist. of Scituate, 191; Pope, Pioneers of Mass., 435). Evidently, then, John Stockbridge, although apparently not a member of this church, accepted their doctrines, as did his second wife.

She was born in 1282 (aged I in 1283). They had one son, Henry, K.G., and six daughters, Blanche, Maud, Eleanor, Mary, Joan, and Isabel. In 1297 he had livery of Monmouth and lands of his father beyond Severn. He served in Flanders in 1297-8 and during the wars with the Scots. He fought at the Battle of Falkirk 22 July 1298. He was summoned to Parliament 6 Feb. 1298/9, by writ directed iFlenrico tie Lancastre nepoti Regis and Henrico tie Lancastre, whereby he is held to have become Lord Lancaster. He took part in the siege of Caerlaverock in July 1300. He signed the Barons' letter to Pope Boniface in 1301 as D'tz's deMunem,ete. In 1307 he was pardoned for aiding the escape of John le Harper from prison. He and his wife attended the Coronation of King Edward II in 1308. In 1310 he was one of those who forced the King to agree to the appointment of the Lords Ordainers. In 1315-1316 • he joined the marcher lords in suppressing the rebellion of Llywelyn Bren. In 1318 he was in France with the king's leave in order to obtain “the heritage” which descended to him on his brother John's death. His wife, Maud, was living 4 August 1320, but died testate before 3 Dec. 1322, and was buried at Mottisfont Priory, of which she was patron, as co-heiress of William Briwere, one of the founders. In 1320 he joined the confederacy of the Marchers against the Despensers. He was heir in 1322 to his older brother, Thomas of Lancaster, Earl of Lancaster, Leicester, and Derby. In 1323 he petitioned the King and Council for the earldoms of Lancaster and Leicester. He received a writ of livery of the earldom and honour of Leicester 29 March 1324, becoming thereby Earl of Leicester. On the Queen's return to England with Roger de Mortimer in Sept. 1326, he joined her patty against King Edward II, which led to a general desertion of the King's cause. He was present as Earl of Lancaster and Leicester in 1326 at a meeting at Bristol which appointed Prince Edward keeper of the realm during his father, the King's absence, the King having fled to Wales. Earl Henry afterwards captured the King at Neath and took him to Llantrisant, Glamorgan 16 Nov. 1326. He was appointed to take charge of the King, and was responsible for his custody at Kenilworth till 4 April 1327. He was present at the Coronation of Edward III 1 Feb. 1326/7. In Oct. 1328 he refused to attend the Parliament. He soon quarreled with the Queen, and, in consequence, in Jan. 1328 the Queen's forces spent a week ravaging his lands in the neighborhood of Leicester. He collected an armed force and marched northwards to meet Mortimer but was forced to submit, after which his lands were handed back to him. In 1329 he was going “beyond seas” to France with a large retinue. In Dec. 1329 he was joined with the Bishop of Norwich in the negotiations with King Philippe of France. In April 1330 he had license to found a hospital for poor persons and pilgrims in his town of Leicester. Upon the fall of Mortimer, his close personal relations with the young King were renewed. In 1332 the King granted him 500 marks yearly for the better maintenance of his estate. In 1335 he was with the King at Newcasile-on-Tyne, where the invasion of Scotland by Edward III and Balliol was planned and carried out. In July 1345 he was appointed to the Council of Prince Lionel, Keeper of England, during the King's absence. SIR HENRY OF LANCASTER, Earl of Lancaster and Leicester, Lord of Monmouth, died testate (P.C.C. 104 Beck) 22 Sept. 1345, and was buried with great state on the north side of the high altar of Newark Abbey, Leicester.
