Bradley Family Tree - Humphrey Barrett Sr. , Early Settler of Concord, MA

Humphrey Barrett Sr. - Patriarch of Barrett Family

Family Connection - 9th and 8th Great-grandfather of Ruth Ann Hazen (yes, I'll explain this later)



Early Map of Massachusetts

Humphrey Barrett Sr. was born in Ashford, Kent, England in 1592. On March 4, 1613, he married Mary Hawes in England. In 1639 or 1640, they immigrated to Concord, Massachusetts with their three adult sons, Thomas, Humphrey Jr, and John. 

Humphrey obtained about 300 acres of land in Concord, plus a "house lot" listed as Number 12, Monument St. If that is the same as today's Monument Square and the numbering system is the same, that means his house would have been where the Concord First Universalist Church is today. This is an informed conjecture - the next time I have an opportunity to visit the Concord Free Library, I will try to confirm this information. 

Humphrey Barrett Sr. was declared a Freeman on May 6. 1657. He died on November 7, 1662. No record of his burial is available, but Barrett family history says he was buried in the South Burying Ground in Concord. His wife Mary died on August 15, 1663 and is assumed to be buried near her husband. 

In the next two Bradley Family blog posts, I will be profiling Humphrey Barrett Sr.'s sons John and Humphrey Barrett Jr. 


Humphrey Barrett Sr. appears in the Bradley Family Tree five separate times, so I will be listing all five of the connections below. 

Humphrey Barrett Sr. > John Barrett > Grace Barrett > Johnathan Bush > Lydia Bush > Reuben Babcock > James Babcock > John M L Babcock > Charles Sydney Babcock > Jessie Louise Babcock > 
Charles Stuart Bradley > Ruth Ann Bradley            (9th great-grandfather)

Humphrey Barrett Sr. > John Barrett > Mary Barrett > Jacob Rice II > Hannah Rice > Hannah 
Goddard >  James Babcock > John M L Babcock > Charles Sydney Babcock > Jessie Louise Babcock > Charles Stuart Bradley > Ruth Ann Bradley              (9th great-grandfather)

Humphrey Barrett Sr. > John Barrett > Mary Barrett > Jacob Rice II > Amos Rice > Hannah Rice > 
John M L Babcock > Charles Sydney Babcock > Jessie Louise Babcock > Charles Stuart Bradley > Ruth Ann Bradley        (8th great-grandfather)

Humphrey Barrett Sr. > Humphrey Barrett Jr. > Joseph Humphrey Barrett > Lucy Elizabeth Barrett > 
Rebecca Prescott > Charles Prescot Hayward > Charles Hayward > James Stickney Hayward > Annie Almira Hayward > Bessie Lakin Fogg > Ruth Ann Bradley            (8th great-grandfather)

Humphrey Barrett Sr. > John Barrett > Grace Barrett > Johnathan Bush > Lois Bush > Josiah Wilkins > Lovice Wilkins > Mary Almira Pritchard > Annie Almira Hayward > Bessie Lakin Fogg > Ruth Ann Bradley         (8th great-grandfather)

I won't overwhelm you with charts for this one. If you have the Bradley fan charts, Humphrey Barrett Sr. can be found twice on chart B-A, and once each on B-B, B-Q, and B-X.  

If you would like a set of Bradley fan charts, let me know in the comments.

Welcome!

Welcome to my genealogy blog! I'm just getting started, but I hope to share family trees, facts, and stories I've uncovered while researching my family and Dave's family. So, I will be posting family trees for the ancestors of Edward Elihu Hazen Jr.,  Ruth Ann Bradley, Roy Ellsworth Stricker, and Anna Elnora Rosemeyer,  My genealogy is a work in progress, and although I strive for accuracy, and have at least one (usually several) historical record to back up each name and relationship, I do make revisions from time to time. My goal for each branch is to trace direct ancestors at leas as far as the first immigrant to the U.S.  I'm new at blogging, so please be patient - I'm learning as I go. Again, welcome! Starla

Rosemeyer Family Tree - Friederick Rosemeyer and Eleanor Kolling

Friederich Rosemeyer  and Eleanor Kolling - Immigrants to Indianapolis Family Connection - great-grandfather and great-grandmother to Anna Rosemeyer Friederich Rosemeyer was born in Germany on Aug. 25, 1844.  I haven't found a marriage record (yet!) but in 1873, he immigrated to the U.S. with his wife Eleanor, age 31, daughter Christine, age 4, and son Friederich, age 11 months. They arrived in New York on September 19th. I assume they traveled by train to Indianapolis from New York City.  Why Indianapolis? We may never know for sure, but it is likely they came because they had connections to other members of Zion Evangelical and Reformed Church (now Zion United  Church of Christ). Indianapolis had a large German immigrant community, and at Zion, they worshipped in German until at least 1928, when the first services in English occurred.  Friederich and Eleanor had six children:     Christina      1869-1875     Frederick  ...

Hazen Family Tree - Edward Hazen

 Edward Hazen - Immigrant, Patriarch of Hazens in the U.S.  Family connection - seventh great-grandfather of Edward Elihu Hazen Jr.  Edward Hazen was born in Cadney, Lincolnshire, England on December 14, 1614. His father was Thomas Hassen (1580-1628). His mother was Elizabeth Mowry (1582-1630).  Edward immigrated to the town of Rowley, MA in 1647. The  town was established in 1639, so he was an early settler, but not an original one.  Edward married Elizabeth, surname unknown. She died on Sept. 18. 1649 and was buried in the Rowley Burial Ground. They had no children.  On Mar. 2, 1650, Edward married Hannah Grant, daughter of Thomas Grant and Jane Haburne. At least one source indicates that the Grant family immigrated to Rowley on the same ship as Edward.  Edward and Hannah had 11 children:          Elizabeth - b. 1651, Hannah - b. 1653, John - b. 1655, Thomas - b. 1657, Edward - b. 1660,         ...
