THE EARLY WINSLOWS IN AMERICA
by Nedra Watkins Reese
December 1981

Edward and Magdalen Winslow of Droitwich, England, became the parents of eight children, five sons and three daughters: Edward born 19 October 1722 John, April of 1595; Elynor, April of 1598; Kenelin 29 April 1599; Gilbert, October of 1600; Elizabeth, March of 1601; Magdalen 26 December 1604 and Josiah, February of 1605. (1.)

The Winslow surname is taken from the town of Winslow in Buckinghamshire, England. The original family seat was in Worchestershire. (2.)

All five of the Winslow brothers came early to America. Edward, an ancestor of Winslow Farr, and Gilbert came on the Mayflower in 1620: John came on the Fortune in 1621. Both Kenelin and Josiah came before 1655.

A brief unconfirmed family history of Lorin Farr describes Edward as a well to do Englishman, who traveled abroad after finishing his education. In Holland, he met and fell in love with a young Pilgrim girl. They were married, and he aided the little band of Pilgrims who were leaving for the New World. He gave money to help purchase the Mayflower, and he and his bride sailed on it to America. She died on the ship after arriving at Plymouth, as did many others. He later married a widow who had also been a passenger on the Mayflower.

John was married at New Plymouth to Mary Chilton, daughter of James Chilton, another passenger on the Mayflower, at some time prior to 1627. According to family tradition, Mary was the first female to set foot on the American shores. This may refer either to the landing at Cape Cod where the women went ashore to wash their clothes, or to the landing at Plymouth. John resided in the north part of Plymouth called Plain Dealing until about 1656. He was a merchant and held various municipal offices at Plymouth . (2. )

Appendix II The HEGIRA OF EDWARD7 Winslow

The will of Thomas Harton, dated 14 Sept. 1620 and proved 19 Dec. following (see note h above) indudes under the heading "Desperate Debts," the following:
"Edward Windslowe some time under sheriff of co. Worcester, owes money for which I can get no payment as he has fled to Ireland. Sir Henry Foilett has my bonds for same. John Wilson also fled to Ireland. Win. Woodward alias Blauckett fled to Pembrokeshire. Mr. John Richardson of Castle Morton, dwelling in London."
Possibly the indebtedness of Winslow derived from his having helped Simon Clarke and Charles Stamford, for Chancery Proceedings of 24 Oct. 1611 show this answer to a bill of complaint of Richard Moore, gent.:
"Answer (only) of Edward Winslow: Subject Winslow was surety on a bond.
Simon Clarke and Charles Stamford were principals" (Banks MSS, Rare Book
Room, Library of Congress, red bound series, fo. 749).

It so happens that Sir John Bucke of Kempsey, who brought Keres. well from Kenelm0 Winslow, was in the commission of the peace for Worcestershire. Bucke s wife, Eleanor, was sister to the aforesaid Henry Folliott, kt., the latter having by 1615 gone to Ireland, where in 1619 he was created Lord Folliott of Ballyshannon, Sligo, in the peerage of Ireland. See "The Ligon Family in England" (1947), p.101, and Calendar of State Papers, Ireland, 1615-1625, p. 10, 11. Also see reference cited in note j, above, as well as Worcestershire Quarter Sessions Rolls, Worcs. Hist. Soc.

It is suggested that Harton knew that Edward Winslow bad either a kinship or acquaintance with the Buckes, and consequently approached Sir John Bucke for help in collecting the money that Winslow owed; if so, Bucke probably advised Harton to turn his evidence of the debt over to Sir Henry Folliott, Bucke s brother-in-law, who was then in Ireland.

In that era, the high-sheriff of a county normally would select a kinsman or acquaintance to become under-sheriff. In 1620 the high-sheriff of Worcestershire was Sir Edmond Wylde of Kempsey9 whose paternal granddame was Eleanor Wall of Droitwich, sister to the mother of the Sir John Bucke who bought Kereswell from Kenelm Winslow. Bucke s father, Francis, in his will, showed his affection for his wife s cousins Thomas Wylde of Kempsey (father of Sir Edmond), and Thomas brother, George Wylde of Droitwich (see will of Francis Bucke of Kempsey, Worcs., gent., dated 1580, proved 1581 at Worcester; will of Sir Edmond Wylde, proved in 1620 [P.C.C. Soame, 1094]; will of his father, Thomas Wylde of K.empsey, Worcs., proved 1599 (P.C.G. 69 Kidd]; "Visitation of Worcestershire, 1569," Harleian Society Publication, vol. 27, p. 26, 27, 151 in the latter page Kemsey in Bedfordshire is wrongly stated for Kempsey, Worcs., which the wills correctly indicate as home of the Wyldes. Also see "Visitation of Worcestershire, 1634," Harleian Society Publication, vol. 90, p. 79. Plainly Wylde seems to have been led by Sir John Bucke, his close kinsman, to choose Edward7 Winslow as under-sheriff. The inference again is that Winslow was either cousin or close friend to Bucke.

The inhumane treatment meted out to debtors in English prisons of those days was frightful enough to persuade those who could not pay to flee the country. But by 1621 we are told that Edward7 Winslow was in England, living at Clifton, a tiny hamlet in Severnstoke. See note a above.

NOTE: Numerous sources have incorrectly given Edward Winslow's birth and baptism date (including Mayflower Families for Five Generations [Volume 5], Eugene Stratton's Plymouth Colony: Its History and Its People, and James Savage's Genealogical Dictionary of the First Settlers of New England). I have checked the original parish register for the year 1595, and the entry reads exactly as follows:

October .20. Edward Wynsloe sonne of Edward Wynsloe was Baptized & Born the xviii th of October being Saterday

Govenor of Massachusetts and a Mayflower passenger. Edward Winslow was the son of Edward Winslow, a wealthy owner of a salt boilery, and Magdalene Oliver. Edward Winslow was baptized at Droitwich, Worcester, England on 28 October 1595.

Winslow soon joined with the Separatists, and moved to Leyden where he became a printer along with William Brewster, publishing illegal religious pamphlets. His first wife, Elizabeth Barker, was from Chattisham, Suffolk, England.

His second wife was the widow of William White of the Mayflower.
For a description of what is known about her (she is not a Fuller) see William White.

Winslow also made trips to England in the early years of the Colony to conduct business agreements and make legal arrangements, including trips in 1623-4, 1630, and 1635. In 1646 he returned to live in England and served in the English army under Oliver Cromwell . In 1655 he died of a fever on a military expedition to capture the island of Hispaniola. Upon his death, one of the ship's chroniclers wrote this poem:

The Eighth of May, west from 'Spaniola shore,
God took from us our Grand Commissioner,
Winslow by Name, a man in Chiefest Trust,
Whose Life was sweet, and Conversation just;
Whose Parts and wisdome most men did excell:
An honour to his Place, as all can tell.

Edward Winslow authored several books. He wrote Good News From New England first published in 1624. He authored a good portion of Mourt's Relation: A Journal of the Pilgrims at Plymouth first published in 1622. Winslow also wrote Hypocricie Unmasked (1646), and New England's Salamander (1647), which are both for the most part religious discourses. He also edited several pamphlets.

ANCESTRAL SUMMARY:

Edward Winslow was the son of Edward Winslow, a wealthy owner of a salt boilery, and Magdalene Oliver. Edward Winslow was baptized at Droitwich, Worcester, England on 20 October 1595. Winslow soon joined with the Separatists, and moved to Leyden where he became a printer along with William Brewster, publishing illegal religious pamphlets. His first wife, Elizabeth Barker, was from Chattisham, Suffolk, England.

His second wife was the widow of William White of the Mayflower. For a description
of what is known about her (she is not a Fuller) see William White.

The ancestry of Edward Winslow is as follows:

(1) Kenelm Winslow of Kempsey (it has been suggested, but not proved, that he married Elizabet Foliot, daughter of John Foliot--see NEHGR 122:175-178)

(2) Edward Winslow, m. Magdalene Oliver

(3) Edward Winslow of the Mayflower

Edward Winslow had four other siblings which came to America, namely Gilbert Winslow (Mayflower, 1620), John Winslow (Fortune, 1621), Josias Winslow (White Angel, 1631), and Kenelm Winslow, who married Eleanor (Newton) Adams, who came in the Anne, 1623. Edward Winslow also had several sisters, including Magdalen who married Rev. William Wake on 25 April 1627, in Wareham, Dorset, England.

GOVERNOR EDWARD WINSLOW'S WILL.

THE will of Governor Edward Winslow, which is preserved at Somerset House, London, is one of the three existing original wills of Mayflower passengers. The others are Mary (Chilton) Winslow's and Peregrine White's, both of which we have already reproduced. The illustration of Governor winslow's will facing this page is from a photograph made at the expense of the Foreign Research Fund and secured by the Hon. Winslow Warren, of our Committee on Publication, with the courteous assistance of the Rev. Stopford W. Brooke, of London.

No mention of Governor Winslow's death is found on the Plymouth Colony records, and we learn the date from Nathaniel Morton's New England's Memorial, under the year 1655. We reprint his account in lid], from the Rev. Thomas Prince's copy of the first edition (1669), now in the Boston Public Library.

This year that Worthy and Honourable Gentleman Mr. Edward Winslow deceased; of whom I have had occasion to make honourable mention formerly in this Discourse. He was the Son of Edward Winslow Esq; of the Town of Draughtwich* in the County of Worcester: He travelling into the Low-Countreys, in his Journeys fell into acquaintance with the Church of Leyden in Holland, unto whom he joyned, and with whom he continued until they parted to come into New-England, he coming with that part that came first over, and became a very worthy and useful Instrument amongst them, both in the place of Government and otherwise, until his last Voyage for England, being sent on special Imployment for the Government of the Massachusets, as is forementioned in this Book; and afterwards was imployed as one of the grand Commissioners in that unhappy Design against 1)omingo in Hispaniola, who taking grief for the ill success of that Enterprize; on which, together with some other Infirmities that were upon him, he fell sick at Sea betwixt Domingo and Jamaica, and died the eighth day of May, which was about the Sixty first year of his life, and his Body was honourably committed to the Sea, with the usual Solemnity of the Discharge of Fourty two Piece of Ordnance.

* Droitwich.

One of the Company who was imployed in taking notice of the Particulars of that Tragedy, gave such Testimony of the said Mr. Winslow, as followeth in this Poem:

The Eighth qf May, west from ‘Spaniola shore,
God took from us our Grand Commissioner,
Winslow by Name, a man in Chiefest Trust,
Whose Life was sweet, and Conversation just
Whose Parts and wisdome most men did excell:
An honour to his Place, as all can tell.

While examining the Marshfield town records some time since, the Editor discovered a vote
regarding the disposition of the ten pounds bequeathed by Governor Winslow to the poor of that town. A literal transcript of this record follows the copy of the will.

Esquior. being now bound in a voyage to sea in the service of the comon welth do make publish & declare this to be my last will & testamt touching the disposing of my estate. ffirst I doe give will devise & bequeath all my lands & stock. in New England & all my possibilities & porcons in future allotm'S & divicons to Josia my. onely sonne & his heires, hee allowing to my wife, a fill third parte thereof for her life Also.

EDWARD WINSLOW'S FIRST MARRIAGE

THE illustration facing this page shows the record at Leyden of the three publications of the banns of Edward Winslow and Elizabeth Barker, on 28 April, 5 May and 12 May, 1618, but the date of the marriage was not added to this record and has not been found. The ceremony doubtless took place not long after the third publication of the banns. This record of the banns is found in Echt Book B, folio 75.

JOHN WINSLOW'S WILL AND INVENTORY.

LITERALLY TRANSCRIBED By GEORGE ERNEST BOWMAN.

John Winslow, son of Edward and Magdalen, and brother of Governor Edward Winslow, was born at Droitwich, England, on Saturday, 16/26 April, 1597, and baptized the following Monday. He died at Boston in New England, in the ten weeks between 12/22 March, 1673/4 and 21/31 May, 1674, the dates of making and probating his wilt, which is preserved in the files of the Suffolk County Registry of Probate, at Boston.

The transcript of the will was made from the original document, which is twenty-two and seven eighths inches high and seventeen and one eighth inches wide.

It is interesting to note that both wills were written, and witnessed, by John Hayward.

The original inventory is not in the files, and the copy was made from Volume V, pages 211 and 212, of the Probate Records.

Subject: Kenelm Winslow (201) on the latest Farr Pedigree chart
Date: Tue, 22 Apr 2003 11:52:45 -0700

Hi Tim, My daughter, Claudia Keyworth and son, Randall Smith and I have researched the pedigree of the Winslow family for some time. Among other documents we have in our possession photocopies of a number of Winslow family wills. We obtained a partial translation of the wills from Mrs Sue cammpbell an approved researcher for the Worcestor County Record office in Worcestor, England. We obtained a complete translation for Kenelm Winslow's will as well as other Winslow documents as translated and prepared by Vona Williams on April 14, 2003 at the Salt Lake City Genealogical Society.

The Farr pedigree chart lists Elizabeth Foliott as Kenelms Wife; however, Kenelms will states in part quote” I will and appoint the custody thereof ( my funeral discharged and my debts paid ) to Katherine my very loving wife whom I constitute and appoint to be my sole exectrix of my present will''

Other sources includingThe book” Mayflower Hertiage” written wnd compiled by, Kenelm Winslow published by George Harrop & Co LTD in 1957 and the local Mr Bob Cross local historian for Kempsey and Srevern Stoke England names Katherine ( possibly maiden name of Katherine Buck) as Kenelm's wife.

We plan to have copies of the original as well as the translation of Kenelm and Richard Winslow wills. According to D Kenelm Winslow, Richard Winslow who lived and died during the reign og King Henry the eighth was Kenelm's grandfather The very interesting inventory of Kenelm's estate was written on sheepskin parhment Our report will also include some medieval manorial estate court records (documenting Kenelm (Wynseiow)as as a “freeholder” of land as well as Keneim's service as a juryman for the medieval court of Lord Thomas Coventry's Croome Hill Estate. We plan to prepare a written report about our research and compilation of these Wnslow records to be available at the Winslow Farr Sr. family reunion in August.

On 26 October 1647 "Mr. Hatherley here in Court acknowledgeth that Helene, the wife of Kanelme Winslow, acknowledgeth her free assent and consent to the sale of all such lands as her husband had sold unto Samuell Sturdevant. Captain Miles Standish" deposed the same regarding her consent to sales to Henry Sampson [PCR 2:118-19].

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" ordered that "what estate I have formerly settled on my eldest son Kanelme ... shall remain unaltered" and bequeathed to "my son Nathaniel ... the half of my farm that I last lived upon ... as I gave him by a former deed of gift"; "and the other half of the farm to my wife, for the term of her natural life" and "after the decease of my wife Ellinor Winslow the said half of the farm shall return unto my son Nathaniel"; to "my son Job ... half of my land at Namassakett which is about fifty acres ... and the other fifty acres or thereabouts unto Kanelme Baker my grandchild"; to "my daughter Ellinor" £5; "my wife shall at her decease give unto Mary Addams an equal portion of the goods and moveables as to the rest of my grandchildren"; 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].

BIRTH: Baptized Droitwich, Worcestershire, 3 May 1599, son of Edward and Magdalen (Oliver) Winslow [NEHGR 4:297, 21:210].

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. Parents: Edward WINSLOW and Magdaline OLIVER.

From this deposition we learn that Samuel3 Little (Ann2 Warren, Richard1) was born about the year
1657.

On the grave stone of Capt. Nathaniel Winslow at Marshfield it is stated that he died 1 December, 1719, in the eighty-first year of his age. If his birth occurred in the year 1639 this statement does not conflict with that in the deposition.

The family of Winslows existed in England long previous to the first record here listed. It is believed this English Family was entirely distinct from the Winslows of Denmark, the lst ancestor of the latter which has been found, being recorded Peder Jacobsen Winslow, father of Prof. Jacob Benigus Winslow, who was born 2 April 1669, which was later than the pilgrim Wlnslows. However, there was a parish in Scania named Winslof or Winslow, at an early date, which may have originated with a more ancient family, from whom it is possible that the English and American Winslows are descended.

About the 1st records we have of the English Winslows are in connection with the family of Crouchmans, whose residence was called Crouchman's Hall; but when it came into possession of the Ninslows by marriage, it was styled Wyncelow's Hall and the ancient arms of that family are sculptured in stone In various points of the old hall and also the Manor.

Jno. Wyncelowe who married the heiress Mary or Mariota Crouchman, was of great repute in the City of London about 1350, but it is not determined from what point of England his family came, though the name is frequently mentioned in the early history of London.

The Winslow Family: Wyncelowe, Winselowe, Winslowe, Winslow. Lineage from William Wincelowe (1300) through Keuelm Winslow (1599).
