• Notes

  Ferryman Came to America with the Hull party. The following is from "The Kingman and Ordronaux Families" by Ler oy Wilson Kingman: "A Kingman memorial association was organized at the Uni ted States hotel in Boston, Mass., 8 Dec., 1888, of which Hosea Kingman, of B ridgewater, Mass., was chosen president. Under the auspices of this associat ion there was a gathering of about four hundred of the descendants of Henry K ingman at Brockton, Mass., on July 8, 1890, the day being the two hundred and fifth anniversary of the landing of Henry Kingman in America. A reception i n the morning was followed by a banquet at noon, with after dinner speeches, and in the afternoon a monument, erected to the memory of Henry and Joanna Ki ngman in the Union cemetary, was unveiled. The monument is of Westerly grani te and is nine and one-half feet high and three feet square at the base. The monument and the ground on which it stands were the gift to the association of Rufus P. Kingman, of Brockton, Mass. The Union Cemetary is on Center St. which runs off of Montello (route 28). The second reunion of the Kingman f amily was held at Elkins Park, Brockton, Mass., July 8, 1891, at which about 200 members of the Kingman family were present." Henry and family may have com e to America on the "Hopewell" which was one of several ships that were makin g continuous runs to these shores around 1635. It is not known for sure what the name of ship was. "Hopewell" is only a possibility. The following is f rom "Genealogies of the Early Families of Weymouth, Massachusetts" by George Walter Chamberlain: "sailed from Weymouth in Dorsetshire on or near 20 Mar. 1634-35 in Rev. Joseph Hull's Company, and arrived at Dorchester, 7 June 1635 . (Register, 25: 14.) He was made a freeman of the Massachusetts Bay Colony , 3 Mar. 1635-6. (Ibid. 3: 94.) Seven lots were granted to him at Weymouth, viz., twelve acres". It goes on to say that: "He was 'lycensed to keepe th e saide fferry at Waymothe' during the pleasure of the General Court, 3 Mar. 1635-36, and was to take twopence apiece for transportation of people, 12 Mar . 1637-38. Massachusetts Bay Colony Records, 1: 165, 225.) He was licensed to keep a house of entertainment at Weymouth, 6 June, 1637. (Ibid. 199.) He was a deputy from Weymouth to the General Court 2 May 1638, 27 May, 1652, an d 26 May, 1657; and was one of a committee to lay out a highway from Weymou th to Dorchester, 25 Dec. 1648. "
