John Barrett was born in England in about 1635. He immigrated to Concord, Massachusetts with his father, Humphrey Barrett, Sr., his mother Mary Hawes Barrett, and his brothers Thomas and Humphrey Barrett Jr. in 1639 or 1640. 
On September 19, 1656, John married Mary Pond in Sudbury, Massachusetts.  They had at least five children:
                John        b. 1663        d. 1715
                Mary       b. 1666        d. 1668    
                Grace      b. 1669        d. 1739
                Mary       b. 1672        d. 1752
                Lydia       b. 1674        d. 1739

John was one of the original settlers of the town of Marlborough, MA. He may have moved there as early as 1656, and was listed as one of the 38 original land owners when Marlborough was incorporated in 1660. His holding in 1660 was 18 acres. 

In 1675, he was assigned to protect the home of Joseph Rice against Native American attack during King Phillip's War.  

In 1700, the Town of Marlborough decided to prepare for any future Native American attacks. John Barrett was part of a committee that assigned all families in Marlborough to garrisons for protection in the event of an attack. John Barrett was the Sergeant for Samuel Merrill's Garrison from 1700 until his death. Fortunately, the plans were never activated, since no further attack occurred. 

John Barrett died on July 17, 1711. His wife Mary died on October 7, 1711. Their burial locations are not known. 

Here are the four places John Barrett appears in the Bradley family tree:

John Barrett > Grace Barret > Jonathan Bush > Lydia Bush > Reuben Babcock > James Babcock > John M L Babcock > Charles Sydney Babcock > Jesse Louise Babcock > Charles Stuart Bradley > Ruth Ann Bradley   

John Barrett > Mary Barrett > Jacob Rice II > Hannah Rice > Hannah Goddard > James Babcock > John M L Babcock > Charles Sydney Babcock > Jesse Louise Babcock > Charles Stuart Bradley > Ruth Ann Bradley

John Barrett > Mary Barrett > Jacob Rice II > Amos Rice > Hannah Rice > John M L Babcock > Charles Sydney Babcock > Jesse Louise Babcock > Charles Stuart Bradley > Ruth Ann Bradley

John Barrett > Grace Barret > Jonathan Bush > Lois Bush > Josiah Wilkins > Lovice Wilkins > Mary Almira Pritchard > Nellie Francis Wheeler > Annie Almira Hayward > Bessie Lakin Fogg > Ruth Ann Bradley

For those with charts, John Barrett is on chart B-A (twice!), chart B-B, and chart B-X. As always, if you want a set of charts, let me know.

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  ...

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.
