Hazen Family Tree - Thomas Newberry, Merchant

Thomas Newberry, Merchant
Family Connection - 8th great-grandfather of Edward Elihu Hazen

Thomas Newberry was born in Yarcombe, Devonshire, England and baptized there on November 10, 1594. 

St. John the Baptist Parish Church, Yarcombe

By about 1619, Thomas married Joanne Dabinott in Yarcombe. They had five children:

            Joseph        b. 1619        d. 1685
            Sarah          b. 1621        d. 1684
            Benjamin    b. 1623        d. 1689
            Mary           b. 1626        d. 1688
            John            b. 1628        d. before 1645

Joanne's death date is not known, but in about 1632, Thomas married Jane Dabinott, likely a cousin of his first wife. They had two children:
        
            Rebecca     b. 1632
            Hannah      b. 1634

In 1634, Thomas, Jane, and all the children immigrated to Massachusetts on the ship Recovery. Thomas was a merchant, and the ship's records indicate he brought a large quantity of cloth and other dry goods with him on the ship. They settled in Dorchester and joined the Church there. Thomas was named Freeman on September 3, 1634. 

Thomas was active in the community - he served as the Deputy for Dorchester to the Massachusetts Bay General Court (legislature) in March and May 1635. He was a selectman (town councilman) for Dorchester in 1634 and 1635. On May 6, 1635, he was chosen to be the overseer of construction work at Castle Island. 

Thomas Newberry died sometime between December 17, 1635 and January 28, 1636.  The details of his burial are not known. 

At the time of his death, Thomas, his wife Jane, and his children were planning to relocate to the new town of Windsor, Connecticut with a large portion of the Dorchester Church. His wife and family went to Windsor with the other settlers from Dorchester after his death, probably in the spring of 1636. His oldest, Joseph, returned to England sometime after 1648. The others remained in Windsor, and Thomas' widow Jane married Rev. John Warham, the Pastor of the Windsor Church, in 1638.

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  ...
