You have reached my work page for
my Lathrop Lothrop Lothropp family connection. I am trying to gather all
the original documents to support the linage of
Reliance Dennis and William
Paschal. If you have or know where I can obtain copies of the original
wills of anyone listed on this page please let me know. Your help is very
much appreciated. Margie Daniels
Much of this work is not mine, it
was sent to me by others and I am trying to obtain supporting documentation to
support the statements. Thanks...Margie

The Colonial Immigrant
"John Lothropp has been ranked as one of the
four most prominent colonial ministers in America. His spiritual and
political strength not only was emulated by his sons and daughters, but has
been evidenced in the lives of thousands of his descendants in the past four
centuries They include presidents of the United States, a prime minister of
Canada, authors, financiers, politicians, and last but certainly not least,
key leaders among religious groups throughout the centuries and spanning the
continent. " "Biography of John Lothrop (1584-1653)", by
Richard Price
Founder of Barnstable, Mass:
John Lathrop and his followers initially
settled in Scituate, Mass. Because of their religious differences they
looked elsewhere to live. Although, some people living in the area of
Barnstable, Plymouth Co, Mass, the arrival of John Lathrop and his followers
to Barnstable is considered the founding of the town. He lived there until
his death, in 1653.
Spouses:
1) Hannah House/Howse, married October 10, 1610 in Eastwell, Kent,
England. Eight children. Died in England before John and the children
migrated. Eight children.
2) Ann (___). This woman is not a
Hammond, or a Hammond widow, as has been postulated. (See TGMB sketch on
John Lathrop). It is possible that they married in England before
immigration in 1634. Six children.
Immigration
While confined in the prison his wife died. He
was permitted to visit her on her death-bed but was returned to prison, from
which he was released on bond, April 24, 1634. He at once organized a party
of his followers to go to New England, and they sailed on the "Griffin",
arriving at Boston, September, 1634. He first located and established a
church at Scituate, Massachusetts, of which he was ordained pastor, January
19, 1634-5, but removed with most of his flock to Barnstable, October 11,
1639. Here he ministered until his death, November 3, 1653.
Widower, with eight children, aboard the
Griffin, arriving Sep 1634. Governor Winthrop's journal entry of Sept. 18,
1634: "The Griffin and another ship now arriving with about 200 passengers.
Mr. Lathrop and Mr. Sims, two godly ministers coming in the same ship".
GRIFFIN. This ship arrived at Boston
September (18), with about one hundred passengers and cattle for the

Persecuted in England:
"The Rev John Lothrop renounced his orders and resigned from his cure at
Egerton abt 1623 to succeed Henry jacob as pastor of an independent
colngregation was raided. [John] Lothrop and forty-one of his followers were
seized and imprisoned, including Peninna and Samuel House, children of the
Rev John House (NEHGS 69 [1914] :284). In 1633, while [John] Lothrop was
yet in prison, a dispute arose in his church. those who altogether rejected
the established church and denied the ligitimacy of infant baptism were led
away by John Spilsbury. John Lothrop's views were obviously less radical
than Spilsbury's. Not only did infant baptism continue in his own churches
in new England, but, as the above entries show, his sons Joseph and Benjamin
were baptized at Eastwell in 1624 and 1626 respectively by their grandfather
[Rev John] House, while John Lothrop was pastor of the independents at
Southwark. John's eldest son Thomas was baptized at Eastwell on 21 Feb
1612/13, while he was curae at Egerton. (It was not unusual for the eldest
child to be baptized in the wife's parish.)" The American
Genealogist (TAG) Oct 1995 p251.

Another Daughter:
Elizabeth?? John possibly had a daughter Elizabeth whose birth was
not recorded. From the court records of 1665 we find that "Whereas John
Williams, Junr, appeered before the Court held att Plymouth the seaventh of
June last past before the date heerof, to answare for his disorderly liveing
with his wife, and his abusive carriages towards her both in words and
actions, in speciall his sequestration of himselfe from the marriage bedd,
and that notwithstanding the Court then tooke such order about it as was
judged meet for present, yett the said Williams not attending that due
reformation expected from him, wherby Mr Barnabas Laythorpe hath seen cause,
in the behalfe of his sister and those related to her, to revive the former
complaint, with some aditionall charges; to which the said Williams, though
seeming to desire the tryall of such his guiltines or not guiltines might
bee put on a jury of his peers, yett afterwards refused it when graunted to
him by the Court; this Court, being earnestly desirous of a renewed closure
of his hart and affections to his wife, and that his future conversation
with her might bee better then his former, were willing to extend what
lenitie might bee, and in reference therunto, with exhortation of him to
amend his wayes respecting the promises, hee was released att the present".
It seems that when Elizabeth became pregnant or bore a child, her husband
John accused her of unfaithfulness. She was "by false reports and reproaches
rendered as if shee were a dishonest woman, and that the child shee brought
forth into the world was not legitimate". The court found no substance to
the accusations and cleared her name. Source: John Lathrop

Who is Elizabeth
[Scudder?], wife of Joseph3 Lathrop?
Mary Scudder, wife
of Joseph Lathrop - The origins of Mercy Scudder, who married Joseph
Lathrop, seem to be in doubt. At least the information I have learned so far
has not firmly attached her to a set of parents. See this
