RE: Stump the German
Excellent, Roger. The church is St. Andrews.

In a recent post, Bill wondered if the Boones and the Lincolns came from the same area in England. At least the generations that emigrated didn't. They didn't even sail from the same area. I found that an interesting question. I once "researched" Lincoln's roots in England, and now I looked for Boone's, too. Samuel Lincoln, Abraham Lincoln's great-great-great-great-grandfather, was born in Hingham, Norfolk, England, in 1622 (baptized on Aug. 24), as one of seven children of Edward Lincoln. He was later apprenticed to Francis Lawes, a weaver of Carleton Rode, Norwich. Francis emigrated with his wife, daughter, and two servants, Anne Smith and Samuel Lincoln, on April 8, 1637. They sailed in the ‘John and Dorothy’ of Ipswich and reached Boston on June 20. Samuel soon left Lawes and settled in what was by then Hingham, Suffolk County (Present Plymouth County), Province of Massachusetts, where his two brothers, Daniel and Thomas, were already living (Daniel had emigrated in1633 and Thomas in 1633). He died there on May 26, 1690. Daniel Boone's father, Squire Boone, was born in Bradninch, Devonshire, England, on Dec. 6, 1696. He, his brother George, and his sister Sarah, had been sent to America to investigate conditions a few years before his parents and six other siblings sailed from Bristol to Philadelphia in 1717. The parents were members of the Society of Friends (Quakers) in Callumpton, Devonshire, from which meeting they took a letter of recommendation to the Society of Friends in America. The Boone family first lived in Exeter township, Berks County; Squire Boone died in Rowan County, North Carolina on Jan. 2, 1765. To summarize: Samuel Lincoln came from Hingham (left) and departed from Ipswich (right): ...whereas the Boones came from Bradninch and departed from Bristol: What I also found interesting is that e.g. Daniel Boone's grandparents arrived at Philadelphia on Sept. 29 (O.S.), which was as well Oct. 10 (N.S.), 1717. Old Style (O.S.) and New Style (N.S.) refer to the Julian and the Gregorian calendar. The Gregorian calendar replaced the Julian in Catholic countries beginning in 1582. In England and Wales, Ireland, and the British colonies, the change of the start of the year and the changeover from the Julian calendar occurred in 1752 under the Calendar (New Style) Act 1750. |
