Notes
:From "History of Lynn, Essex County, Massachusetts". pg. 118
JOHN BANCROFT--died in 1637. He had two sons, Thomas and John, and his descendants remain. [The name was sometimes spelled Barcroft; indeed it is questionable whether that was not the original spelling, the change easily occurring. Jane, the wife with whom this settler was blessed, does not seem to have been the most amiable of women. By the record of the Court held at Boston, in 1633, it appears that, "Mr John Barcroft doeth acknowledge to owe vnto or Souaigne, the King, the some of xll. & Mr Samll Mauacke the som of xxl. &c. The condicon of this recognizance is, that Jane Barcroft, wife of the said John, shall be of good behavr towards all psons." George Bancroft, the eminent historian, is a lineal descendant from this Lynn planter.]
From "History of Lynn, Essex County, Massachusetts". pg. 170-171
The first burial in the Old Burying Ground, at the west end of the Common, so far as is certainly known, took place this year. The remains interred were those of John Bancroft, the same individual spoken of on page 118, as ancestor of George Bancroft the distinguished historian.
Who was Thomas' wife Rebecca? And who was John's wife Jane?
Does anyone know of any other ancestors or descendents? What about the children of John's brother Thomas?
Lot's of questions!! Any help will be greatly appreciated.
