10) John Waterbury (abt. 1620-1658) arrived in Massachusets Bay Colony in 1630 aboard the "Eagle", part of the Winthrop fleet, with his parents William & Alice.  John is not listed on the passenger lists, but minors were not always included on lists.  

Records indicate he sold his property in Watertown, MA in 1646 and was granted land in Stamford CT in 1650. He married Rose (Taylor or Lockwood) about 1639. His son Jonathan Waterbury (1648-1702) married Eunice Buxton (1650-1710). Benjamin, son of Jonathon & Eunice, married Mary Mead.

11) Jeremiah Jagger (1600- 1658) arrived in 1630 aboard the Arabella, settling first in Watertown MA., then moving to Wethersfield Ct.  

He married Elizabeth (unk) and moved to Stamford with his family about 1641 as one of its original proprietors.

12) David Selleck (1614-1654) & Susanna (Kibby) Selleck (1616-1713) David, born in Overstowey, Somerset England, the son of Robert Selleck, arrived in Dorchester MA in 1633.


 On July 24, 1633, John Winthrop's journal mentions the Dorchester arrival  of a ship with about eighty passengers and twelve cows. Prior to it's arrival, the ship had been forced into the western islands due to a leak.  The portuguese inhabitants treated the passengers well and they stayed for 3 weeks, but 20 passengers died from pestilent fever. Once repaired, the ship, crew and remaining passengers sailed to New England. David Selleck was among those that survived the journey.
  

Three years later, on 1 October 1636, David returned to his homeland to marry Susannah Kibby, daughter of Henry and Rachel Kibby.  They returned to New England to start their new life and family. David was a soap boiler, merchant and seaman who settled in Boston, where he and Susanna were recorded as church members in 1644 and their seven children were born. He conducted trade from New England, Virginia, Bardados & England.

David died while on an expedition to Virginia in 1654, presumably killed by pirates. 

Two of their sons,  John & Jonathan, came to Stamford in 1660 and, following in their father's footsteps, started a shipping and trade business. The brothers married two sisters who were the daughters of Richard & Margaret (Kilbourne) Law.  The younger brother, John, was lost at sea in 1689, possibly captured by the French.    
Jonathan Selleck Sr. (1641-1713) married Abigail Law (1643-1711) in Stamford in 1667.  Their two sons also married two sisters, the daughters of Nathan Gold.  Our ancestor, Jonathan Selleck Jr. (1664-1710)  married Abigail Gold (1665-1711).

(Scofield) Syska (1906-1945)

  • He was reputed to be involved in bringing Irish children to America as indentured servants There appears to be some evidence to support this, though I have not investigated it in detail.  

13) William Newman (1610-1676) is believed to have arrived in America in 1633 or 1634 with his parents who settled first in Ispwich, MA.  

William, a shoemaker, was granted 5 acres of land in Stamford in 1642 and married his wife, Elizabeth Bowstreet (1611-1676), also in Stamford in 1644. William & Elizabeth's daughter, Hannah Newman(1657-1733), married John Holly Jr.

    14)  DAVID PHIPPEN/Fitzpen (1590- bef. 1650) & Sarah (unk) Phippen Hull (  -1659) and family arrived on the "Recovery of London" in 1634.
      

    David was born in Weymouth, Co. Dorset in 1585 and married Sarah (unknown) about 1617.   Their first 7 children were born in England and emigrated with their parents in 1634.   The Phippen family settled first in Hingham MA., then Boston where David was granted a houselot in 1641 and appointed constable on 13 March 1646/7.  David died in 1650.  

    Sarah remarried George Hull, but died before August 1659.Their daughter Sarah (Phippen) Yeo Gold (1633-1694) first married Thomas Yeo, but after his death in 1658, married Major Nathan Gold (1623-1694). Sarah & Nathan settled in Fairfield Ct. where they raised seven children of their own including Abigail Gold (1665-1711) who married Jonathan Selleck Jr. (1664-1710). 

    David Phippen (1585-1650) and Sarah (Pinckney) Phippen - Sarah (Phippen) Yeo Gold (1633- 1694)  - Abigail (Gold) Selleck (1655-1711) -  Nathan Selleck (1686-1772) - Jonathan Selleck (1720-1790) - Samuel Selleck (1746-1790) - Thomas Selleck (1778-1850) -  Sands Selleck (1817-1898) -  Sanders Selleck (1859-1947) - Maud J (Selleck) Scofield (1882-1968) - Beatrice P. (Scofield) Syska (1906-1945)


    15) John Brundage (Brondish) (1593-1639 ) and Rachel (Hubbard) Brundage arrived about 1634.

    John, a tanner, was born in 1593 in Co. Suffolk England. He married Rachel Hubbard in England in 1621.  Rachel Hubbard's ancestry it not clear.  One theory is that she is the daughter of Elizabeth Hubbard, granddaughter of James & Naomi (Cooke) Hubbard. John and Rachel came to America with their children in 1634, settling first in Watertown, MA where John was made a Freeman in 1635, then moving to Wethersfield, CT.  John died suddenly in 1639 most likely by suicide.  


    A confirmation given by his widow states, ‘but Providence so disposing of the aforesayd John Brundishe that before the tym that the mony was due & ye writing(?) confermed He put an end unto his lyf.’  

    Their son, John Brundage Jr.(1637-1697) married Hannah Hunt (1639-1721), daughter of William & Elizabeth Hunt.   John & Hannah's daughter, Ruth Brundage (1672-1742), married Richard Scofield (1650 - 1726) in 1689.

    John Brundish (1593-1639) and Rachel (Hubbard) Brundish -  John Brundish (1634-1697) - Ruth (Brundish) Scofield (1672-1742) - Jeremiah Scofield (1691-1762) - Richard Scofield (1717-1772) - Enos Scofield (1753-1830) - Stephen Scofield (1782-1853) - Samuel Scofield (1805-1885) - James Scofield (1831-1918) - Harry F. Scofield (1870-1956)- Beatrice P. (Scofield) Syska (1906-1945) 

    16) Robert Rose (1594-1665) and Margery (?) Rose - came from Ispwich, Suffolk, England in 1634 aboard the 'Francis' with their 8 children, including 15 year old twins- Robert and John.   

    Robert & Margery were both listed as 40 years old on the passenger list and thus would have been born about 1594, in England, although there is no definitive documentation of their ancestry or of Margery's maiden name.  

    The Rose family may have settled initially in Watertown MA with the other families on the Francis but soon after moved to Wethersfield CT.   Robert Rose is considered one of the founders of Wethersfield.  In 1639, he was Constable of Wethersfield as well.
    Then in 1644 the family moved to Branford, CT. 

    Margery Rose died before 1664 and Robert remarried Elizabeth (unk) Potter Parker, widow of John Potter and Edward Parker.  Robert Rose passed away before April 1665, when his will was read in New Haven court.  

    Robert Rose (1619-1682/83), son of Robert & Margery Rose, served in the Pequot War in 1637, later receiving 50 acres for his service.  Robert married Rebecca (unknown) in 1651 and subsequently moved to Stratford, CT. 

    Rebecca Rose (1657-1728), daugter of Robert & Rebecca married Obadiah Stevens (1644-1702) in 1678.  




    The Rose/Stevens/Slawson/ Selleck family tree is quite complex.  The tree has three sets of cousins marrying eachother.  In 1761 Lydia Lockwood married her 2nd cousin Jonathan Slawson.  Their son, Daniel Slawson married his 2nd cousin, Betsey Dann, in 1796. Then in 1880, Daniel & Betsey's great granddaughter, Sarah F. Slawson, married her 3rd cousin, Sanders Selleck.

(Scofield) Syska (1906-1945)


    17) Jeffrey Ferris (1610-1666) and Mary (-1658) - arrived in 1634.

    Jeffrey, born in Leicestershire, England in 1610, sailed to America with his wife, Mary (unknown) and first child in 1634, settling initially in Watertown, then moving to Wethersfield and finally to Stamford about 1640.  Jeffrey is cited as one of the pioneers in Stamford at the end of 1642. 

    He moved again and, in 1656, eleven men including Jeffry Ferris peti­tioned to be accepted under the New Haven jurisdiction, founding the town known as Greenwich CT.

    His first wife, Mary, died in 1658 and he married 2nd Susanna (Norman) Lockwood, widow of Sergeant Robert Lockwood.  Jeffrey's marriage contract (a colonial pre-nup) with Susannah pledges financial obligations to the children of Susannah & Robert Lockwood.  Susannah died in 1661 and Jeffrey married his 3rd wife Judith Feake Palmer.  Jeffrey died in Greenwich, CT May 31, 1666.

    Jeffrey & Mary's daughter, Mary Ferris (1640-1708) married Jonathan Lockwood (1634-1688), who was her step-brother and the son of Robert Lockwood & Susanna (Norman) Lockwood Ferris.  The date of their marraige is unknown, but was before Jeffrey's death in 1666, as the marriage is referenced in his will.

    Jeffrey Ferris (1610-1666) - Mary (Ferris) Lockwood (1640-1708) - Still John Lockwood (1672-1758) - Robert Lockwood (1714-1784) - Lydia (Lockwood) Slauson (1742-1773) - Daniel Slauson (1765-1846) - Nathan Dann Slauson (1803-1873)- Lewis Slawson (1830-1885) - Sarah Francis (Slauson) Selleck (1863-1938) - Maud J (Selleck) Scofield (1882-1968) - Beatrice P. (Scofield) Syska (1906-1945)

    Jeffrey Ferris (1610-1666) - Mary (Ferris) Lockwood (1640-1708) -Still John Lockwood (1672-1758) - Robert Lockwood (1714-1784) - Lydia (Lockwood) Slauson (1742-1773) - Lydia (Slauson) Selleck (1777-1845) - Sands Selleck (1817-1898) -  Sanders Selleck (1859-1947) - Maud J (Selleck) Scofield (1882-1968) - Beatrice P. (Scofield) Syska (1906-1945)

         18) Thomas Stevens (1623-1658) most probably arrived aboard the Abigail in 1635. 

           He appears to have come alone, although he would have only been 12 years old.  He may be the son of, or otherwise related, to John Stevens who received a house lot in Stamford in 1641, but so far I haven't found any real evidence of a relationship.    

    Th   Thomas married Ann (unknown) in Connecticut about 1642/3 and settled in Stamford having four sons and one daughter.  He died in 1658 while his children were still young.  His estate was inventoried in 1660, but it was not administered until 11 years later, most likely due to Ann’s 2nd marriage at the time to Francis Holmes.  The County Court at Fairfield, CT appointed "ye eldest son", Obadiah Stevens, to administer the estate on 14 Mar 1671.  His son, Ephraim, died young and unmarried, thus his share was divided among the remaining siblings in 1677.  Records includes signatures of Obadiah Stevens and brother-in-law Obadiah Seely on behalf of Esther Stevens Seely. 

    Son of Thomas and Ann, Obadiah Stevens (abt. 1646-1702) married Rebecca Rose (1657-1728), daughter of Robert & Rebecca (Sherwood) Rose.   Obadiah & Rose's son, Thomas Stevens (1679 - 1774) married  Sarah (unknown).  We are related to two of their daughters, Rachel (Stevens) Lockwood & Lydia (Stevens) Dann.  

    Thomas & Ann's daughter, Esther Stevens (abt. 1650-  1711)  married Obadiah Seeley Jr. (1646-1679/80) son of Obadiah & Mary (Angell) Miller Seeley.  Their son, Obadiah Seeley III (1670-1711) married Susannah Finch (1671-1745).
