Winslow Family History
Short Excerpts of Winslow HistoryExcerpts from the Winslow Memorial and the Tracy- Winslow Book Bibliographic Information: Holton, David Parsons. Winslow Memorial. D.P.Holton. New York. 1877THE WINSLOW FAMILYThe earlier records given here are taken from "KENELM WINSLOW MEMORIAL." The family of Winslows existed in England long previous to the first record here listed. It is believed this English family was entirely distinct from the Winslows of Denmark. the first ancestor of the latter which has been found, being Rev. Peder-Jacobsen Winslow, father of Prof. Jacob-Benignus Winslow, who was born April 2, 1669, which was later than the Pilgrim Winslows. However there was a parish in Scania named Winslof, or Winslow, at an early date, which may have originated with a more ancient family, from whom it is possible that the English and American Winslows are descended. About the first records we have of the English Winslows are in connection with the family of Crouchmans, whose residence was called "CROUCHMAN'S HALL," but when it came into possession of the Winslows by marriage it was styled "WYNCELOWE'S HALL" and the ancient arms of that family are sculptured in stone in various parts of the old hall and also the manor. This John Wyncelowe who married the heiress, Mary or Mariota Crouchman, was of great repute in the City of London about 1350, but it is not determined from what part of England his family came, though the name is frequently mentioned in the early history of London. FIRST GENERATION1. WILLIAM WYNCELOWE Born about 1300. TWO SONS: (1.) JOHN WYNCELOWE, ESQUIRE Of London, afterwards of "Wyncelowe Hall." He was of great repute in London about 1350, and was living 1387-1388. MARRIED Mary (Mariota) Crouchman. (2.) WILLIAM WYNCELOWE.ANCESTORS OF MARY (MARIOTA) CROUCHMAN.WILLIAM CROUCHMAN Of County Essex about 1357. MARRIED Egidia Greig, daughter and heiress of John Greig, Esquire, of "Hempstead Hall," in County Essex. TWO SONS: (1.) JOHN CROUCHMAN Of "Hempstead Hall," about 1360-70. (2.) WILLIAM CROUCHMAN WILLIAM CROUCHMAN Heir to his brother, John, of "Hempstead Hall," in County Essex. Died about 1391. ONE DAUGHTER: MARY (MARIOTA) CROUCHMAN MARY (MARIOTA) CROUCHMAN Heiress to her father. She was styled "of Crouchman's Hall." Died 1409-10. MARRIED John Wyncelowe, Esquire, of London (of great repute there about 1350). After this marriage, "Crouchman's Hall" became "Wyncelowe Hall." He was living in 1387-88. ONE SON: WILLIAM WYNCELOWE MARRIED Agnes Poore. MARRIED SECOND, Thomas Holgilt, Esquire. No record of any children. WILLIAM WINCELOWE, Esquire Of "Wincelowe Hall." Born 1389-90. Died 1426-27. MARRIED Agnes Poore, sister and heiress of Sir Thomas Poore, of County Oxford. She was born 1379. Died 1443. ONE DAUGHTER: JANE (JOANE) WYNCELOWE Who died unmarried, in 1431. SECOND GENERATION2. WILLIAM WYNCELOWE SECOND SON of No. 1 Born about 1340. ONE SON: THOMAS WYNCELOWE (No. 3)THIRD GENERATION3. THOMAS WINSELOWE, Esquire Of Burton in County of Oxford. Held lands, also, in Essex. Born about 1380. Was living in 1443 and in 1452. MARRIED Cecelia Tansley (Lady Agnes). She was one of the two daughters and heiresses of an old family of "Tansleys." ONE SON: WILLIAM WINSLOWE (No. 4) FOURTH GENERATION4. WILLIAM WINSLOWE Born about 1435-40. TWO SONS: (1.) KENELM WINSLOW (No. 5) (2.) RICHARD WINSLOW Born July 17, 155-. Had a grant from King Edward VI, of the Rectory of Elksley, in County of Nottingham. NOTE: David Parsons Holton in his "Kenelm Winslow Memorial," states he has been unable to prove up on the foregoing records, but without further research, he has assumed that they are approximately correct. From this point on, Dr. Holton seems quite sure of his records. Note the continual change in the spelling of the name. FIFTH GENERATION5. KENELM WINSLOW Of Kempsey, England. Died 1607 in the parish of St. Andrew, County Worcester, England. In 1559, he purchased of Sir Richard Newport, an estate called "Newport's Place," in Kempsey, County Worcester. He had an older and very considerable estate in the same parish called "Clerkenleap." It was sold by his grandson, Richard Winslow, in 1650. MARRIED Catherine (Katherine). ONE SON: EDWARD WINSLOW (No. 6) He is the only child of whom we have knowledge, though his will indicates there were other children besides Edward. NOTE: It is interesting to note the carelessness about the spelling in those times, even ones own name, as the following examples indicate. In the will of Kenelm Winslow (No. 5), father of this Edward, in the body of his will he wrote his name "Kenelme Wynslowe," and his signature at end is "Kenelm Wynslo." The Parish Clerk at St. Peters, Droitwich, writes the name "Kenelme Wynsloe," sonne of "Edward Wynslowe." SIXTH GENERATION6. EDWARD WINSLOW Of Kempsey and Droitwich, County Worcester, England. Born Oct. 7 (or 17) 1560 at the parish of St. Andrews, County Worcester, England. Died before 1631.

ONE SON of Edward and Eleanor (Pelham) Winslow: RICHARD WINSLOW Of Draycoat, Parish of Kempsey, England. Born about 1585. Died May 20, 1659. MARRIED about 1605, Alice (Hay) Hurdman, daughter of Edward Hurdman. (Her first husband was Mr. Hay, Esquire, and they had one son, James Hay, who was living in 1659). In 1669, she left a donation to the poor of Kempsey. FOUR CHILDREN of Richard and Alice Hay Winslow: (1.) RICHARD WINSLOW (2.) JOHN WINSLOW (3.) ELYNOR (ELEANOR) WINSLOW (4.)

KENELM1 Winslow, third son and fourth child of Edward Winslow and Magdalene (Ollyver) of Droitwich, Worcestershire, Eng., was born at that place, on Sunday, 29 April, 1599, and baptized the Thursday following, 3May, 1599; he "dyed at Salem and was buried there 13 Sept., 1672," '. 73 years. He came to Plymouth, probably in 1629 with his brother Josiah1, and was admitted freeman, 1 Jan. 1632-3. In 1640, he was chosen Surveyor in Town of Plymouth, but neglecting highways is fined ten shillings [Ply. Col. Rec.,II, p. 1]. He removed to Marshfield about 1641, having previously received agrant of land at that place, then called Green's Harbor, 5 Mar. 1637-8: "all that parcel of land remaining of that neck of land lying on the east side of the lands lately granted to Josias Winslow, at Green's Harbor, are granted to Kenelme Winslow and Love Brewster, to be divided betwixt them, provided that Kenelme Winslow have that part next adjoining to his brother Josias,upon the conditions the lands there are granted upon" [Plym. Col. Rec., I,78]. Miss Thomas, in her memorials of Marshfield, p. 27, says: he "settledon a gentle eminence by the sea, near the extremity of a neck of land lying between Green Harbor and South Rivers. This tract of the township was considered the Eden of the region. It was beautified with groves of majestic oaks and graceful walnuts, with the underground void of tangled shrubbery. A few of these groves were standing within the memory of persons now living(1854) but all have fallen beneath the hand of the woodman." This homestead he gave to his second son, Nathaniel2, and at his death it passed into the hands of his son, Kenelm3, who m. Abigail Waterman; their son Kenelm4, whom. Abigail Bourne, was obliged to sell the place in consequence of the failure in business of his younger brother Joseph4, of Boston, which also involved his ruin. Other lands were granted to Kenelm1 Winslow at various times, and still others were purchased by him. He was one of the twenty-six original proprietors of Assonet (Freetown), Mass., purchased from the Indians 2 April, 1659, and received the 24th lot, a portion of which is still owned and occupied (1873) by Barnaby4 Winslow, his gr. gr. gr. grandson "to whom, by heirship, it has descended through successive generations of more than two hundred years." Mr. Winslow was styled "joiner," 6 Jan. 1633-4, when Samuel Jenney was indented to him as an apprentice; but he is elsewhere and generally called a "planter" and was somewhat engaged in the shipping interest. Besides serving his townsmen in minor offices, he was deputy, or representative, in the general court, 1642-44, and 1649-53, eight years.[Plym. Col. Rec.]There is, among different branches of his descendants, a tradition that he possessed a high spirit or temper which brought him into litigation.He m. June, 1634, Eleanor Adams, widow of John Adams, of Plymouth.1 She survived him and d. at Marshfield, Mass., where she was buried 5 Dec. 1681, "being eighty-three years old." He d. 13 Sept. 1672, '. seventy-three, Salem, Mass., where he had gone on business [Hon. Luther Hatch, of Marshfield]. According to Rev. L. R. Paige, he died there "apparently after a long sickness; for in his will dated five weeks earlier, 8 Aug. 1672, he describes himself as 'being very sick and drawing nigh unto Death He may have been in Salem on a visit to Mrs. Elizabeth Corwin, [Curwen] daughter of his brother Edward1 Winslow, or perhaps, for the purpose of obtaining medical aid." Their children were:2. 1. KENELM, [6] b. abt. 1635; d. 11 Nov. 1715; m. Mercy Worden; m. 2d, Damaris (???)3. 2. ELEANOR or ELLEN, [18] b. abt. 1637; d. 27 Aug. 1676; m. Samuel Baker4. 3. NATHANIEL, [27] b. abt. 1639; d. 1 Dec. 1719; m. Faith Miller5. 4. JOB, [36] b. abt. 1641; d. 14 July, 1720; m. Ruth (???)6. KENELM2, [2] (Kenelm1,) b. abt. 1635, Plymouth, Mass.; d. 11 Nov., 1715, Harwich, Mass., "in the 79th year of his age," acc. to gravestone, (14 Nov. acc. to Savage,). He early removed to Cape Cod, and settled in that part of Yarmouth which was afterwards incorporated with Harwich, and which is now Brewster. His homestead was near the westerly border of the town, now known as West Brewster, Satucket, or Winslow's Mills. He is mentioned in the Yarmouth Records as early as 1668, Harwich then being in the constable rick of Yarmouth. In a "rate" dated 29 Apr., 1676, towards the charge of the late war," we find "Kenel. Winslow œ4. 13.6. [Freeman's Hist. Cape Cod, ,p. 195.] Whether he was engaged in any of the encounters with the Indians we do not know, but, n 1678, he is styled "Col. Winslow" in the list of freemen of Yarmouth (Hist. Cape Cod, II, p. 196). He is also called "planter" or "yeoman" in sundry deeds, and is a purchaser of large tracts of wild land, especially in what is now the town of Rochester, on which several of his children afterwards dwelt. In 1679, he was engaged with the "thirty partners" in such a purchase. See Mass. Hist. Coll., XIV, 259, where he is erroneously described as of Marshfield, instead of Yarmouth. We find also on the 15 Mar. 1680, an agreement was made "with our neighbors, the purchasers or proprietors of the land between Stoney Brook and Bound Brook," subsequently signed by Ananias Wing, Paul Sears, Kenelm Winslow, and John Dillingham, Jr., on the one part, and by John Thacher, Sam'l Haw??s, Thomas Sturgis and Josiah Thacher in behalf of Yarmouth [Hist. Cape Cod, II, p.198]. Among other purchases he secured a good "water privilege," which has been of advantage to his descendants even unto the present time. In 1699 he sold it to his son Kenelm, and now (1873) it is owned by his great-great-great grandson, Wm.7 Winslow, of West Brewster, Mass.From the Mansfield, Conn., Records, we find that Kenelm Winslow, of Harwich,Barnstable Co., Mass., bought of George Denison, of Stonington, one thousand acres of land in Windham, (in that part of the town which afterwards became Mansfield,) Conn., 11 March, 1700, for which he paid œ30. On the 7th of October, 1700, he gives this land to his son Samuel, who afterwards sells it to his brother Kenelm [50]. It does not appear from the records that Kenelm Winslow, either father or son, ever resided in Windham or Mansfield. Like his father he seems to have incurred the displeasure of the General Court.Under date of 3 Oct. 1662 (Rec., IV, 29), it is recorded that "Kenelme Winslow, junr., for riding a journey on the Lord's day, although he pleaded some disappointment enforcing him thereunto, is fined ten shillings." He must not, however, be regarded as a scoffer at religion, or as negligent in the observance of its forms, for on three occasions he went to Scituate, some sixty miles distant, that his children might not remain unbaptized. "He brought to the 2d church in Scituate for baptism, Kenelm, 1668; Josiah, 1670; Thomas, 1672. It is well known that many of the ministers in the colony were opposed to infant sprinkling at that time" [Deane's Hist. Scituate, p. 389]. Also, about a year before his death, 4 Oct. 1714, he was one among five chosen "to seat persons, or place them where they shall sit, in the meeting house" [Hist. Cape Cod, II, p. 501]. He m. 23 Sept. 1667, Mercy Worden, b. abt. 1641, dau. of Peter, Jr., and Mercy, of Yarmouth. She d. 22 Sept., 1688, "in the 48th year of her age," according to her gravestone, which is still standing in the Winslow burying-ground in Dennis. The monument is of a hard slate, is said to have been brought from England, and is the oldest in the yard. The headstones of Kenelm Winslow, his two sons, and many of his descendants are also to be seen. According to History of Cape Cod, this burying-ground is "near the road leading from Nobscusset to Satucket," or, according to Josiah Paine, Esq., "a little south of the county road in East Dennis, which is but a short distance from the Brewster line." Hem. 2d, Damaris(???), who survived him, and was living 27 March, 1729

(2) by 1693 Damaris Eames, daughter of Mark Eames (in his will of 12 July 1693 Mark Eames of Marshfield bequeathed to "daughter Damaris Winslow" [ Gen Adv 3:93-94, citing PPR 1:172]). ii ELLEN, b. say 1636; m. Marshfield 20 [December 1656 Samuel Baker] (the marriage record as published is missing all but the name of the bride and the day of the event; the month and the year are suggested by the preceding marriage record, which was for November 1656, and the date of birth of the first child, on 23 March 1657/8 [ MarVR 2, 4]). On 7 March 1653/4 "Kanelme Winslow complained against John Soule for speaking falsely of and scandalizing his daughter in carrying diverse false reports betwixt Josias Standish and her; the which complaint, at the request of G[e]orge Soule, father of the said John Soule, was referred until another Court, to be tried by a jury of twelve of his equals" [ PCR 3:46-47]. iii NATHANIEL, b. say 1639; m.

(In 1914 Richard Henry Greene rejected the claim that Ruth was daughter of Daniel Cole; he examined several other possibilities, including a placement in the family of STEPHEN HOPKINS , but came to no firm conclusion [ NYGBR 45:2-8; see also MF 6:7, 11].) ASSOCIATIONS: Brother of EDWARD WINSLOW , GILBERT WINSLOW , JOHN WINSLOW and JOSIAH WINSLOW . COMMENTS: Although Kenelm Winslow first appears of record in Plymouth in the tax list of 25 March 1633, and was therefore certainly in New England by 1632, he is paired in the early years with his brother Josiah Winslow, who is known to have arrived in 1631, and so we assume that Kenelm came at the same time. On 4 June 1645 "Kenelme Winslow complained that he had injustice, in that he could not be heard in the suit betwixt John Mynard and himself"; after investigation by the court, he "was committed to prison and fined £10," whereupon he reversed himself and was released from prison and the fine was eventually remitted [ PCR 2:85]. On 5 May 1645/6 "upon hearing of the cause betwixt Roger Chaundler and Kenelme Winslow, for his daughter's clothes, which the said Kenelme detaineth, upon pretense of some further service which he required of her, whereunto the said Roger utterly refused to consent, it is ordered by the Court, that the said Kenelme Winslow shall deliver the maid her clothes without any further delay" [ PCR 2:98]. On the same day "Kenelme Winslow, for opprobrious words against the church of Marshfeild, saying they were all liars, &c., was ordered by the Court to find sureties for his good behavior, which he refusing to do, was committed to prison, where he remained until the General Court following" [ PCR 2:98]. Despite this bad year, Kenelm Winslow continued to hold important town and colony offices for another decade. His last year as deputy was 1653, and he virtually disappears from public view at that time, although he lived for another two decades. This was about the time that his two elder and more prominent brothers, Edward and John, left Plymouth Colony; perhaps Kenelm owed his limited success to the presence of these brothers, and once they were gone his own abilities were not sufficient to maintain himself at this level.

Kenelm Winslow was born about 1635 at Plymouth, Plymouth Co., Massachusetts.1 He was the son of Kenelm Winslow and Elllen Newton.1 He married Mercy Worden, daughter of Peter Worden and Mary (---), 23 September 1667 at Yarmouth, Barnstable Co., Massachusetts.1,2 He married Damaris Eames between 1689 and 1693 at Harwich, Barnstable Co., Massachusetts.2 He died 11 November 1715 at Harwich, Massachusetts.2
Early removed to Cape Cod and settled in that part of Yarmouth which was afterwards incorporated with Harwich and which is now Brewster. His homestead was near the westerly border of the town, now known as West Brewster,
3 Oct 1662 was fined 10 shillings by the General Court for riding a journey on the lords day, although he had some excuse for it.
Although he lived Yarmouth, he brought three of sons to be baptized at Scituate (60 miles distant) in 1668, 1670, and 1672.

Biography
Kenelm Winslow, nephew of Governor Edward Winslow, early removed to Cape Cod, and settled in that part of Yarmouth which was afterwards incorporated with Harwich, and which is now Brewster. His homestead was near the westerly border of the town, now known as West Brewster, Satucket, or Winslow's Mills. He is mentioned in the Yarmouth Records as early as 1668, Harwich then being in the constablerick of Yarmouth. In a "rate" dated 29 Apr., 1676, "towards the charge of the late war," we find "Kenel. Winslow œ4. 13.6. [1]
Whether he was engaged in any of the encounters with the Indians we do not know, but, in 1678, he is styled "Col. Winslow" in the list of freemen of Yarmouth. [2] He is also called "planter" or "yeoman" in sundry deeds, and is a purchaser of large tracts of wild land, especially in what is now the town of Rochester, on which several of his children afterwards dwelt. In 1679, he was engaged with the "thirty partners" in such a purchase. [3] We find also on the 15 Mar. 1680, an agreement was made "with our neighbors, the purchasers or proprietors of the land between Stoney Brook and Bound Brook," subsequently signed by Ananias Wing, Paul Sears, Kenelm Winslow, and John Dillingham, Jr., on the one part, and by John Thacher, Sam'l Haw??s, Thomas Sturgis and Josiah Thacher in behalf of Yarmouth [4] Among other purchases he secured a good "water privilege," which has been of advantage to his descendants even unto the present time. In 1699 he sold it to his son Kenelm, and now (1873) it is owned by his great-great-great grandson, Wm.7 Winslow, of West Brewster, Mass.
From the Mansfield, Conn., Records, we find that Kenelm Winslow, of Harwich, Barnstable Co., Mass., bought of George Denison, of Stonington, one thousand acres of land in Windham, (in that part of the town which afterwards became Mansfield,) Conn., 11 March, 1700, for which he paid œ30. On the 7th of October, 1700, he gives this land to his son Samuel, who afterwards sells it to his brother Kenelm [50]. It does not appear from the records that Kenelm Winslow, either father or son, ever resided in Windham or Mansfield.
Like his father Kenelm seems to have incurred the displeasure of the General Court. Under date of 3 Oct. 1662 (Rec., IV, 29), it is recorded that "Kenelme Winslow, junr., for riding a journey on the Lord's day, although he pleaded some disappointment enforcing him thereunto, is fined ten shillings." He must not, however, be regarded as a scoffer at religion, or as negligent in the observance of its forms, for on three occasions he went to Scituate, some sixty miles distant, that his children might not remain unbaptized. "He brought to the 2d church in Scituate for baptism, Kenelm, 1668; Josiah, 1670; Thomas, 1672. It is well known that many of the ministers in the colony were opposed to infant sprinkling at that time" [5]. Also, about a year before his death, 4 Oct. 1714, he was one among five chosen "to seat persons, or place them where they shall sit, in the meeting house". [6]
He m. 23 Sept. 1667, Mercy Worden, b. abt. 1641, dau. of Peter, Jr., and Mercy, of Yarmouth. She d. 22 Sept., 1688, "in the 48th year of her age," according to her gravestone, which is still standing in the Winslow burying-ground in Dennis. The monument is of a hard slate, is said to have been brought from England, and is the oldest in the yard. The headstones of Kenelm Winslow, his two sons, and many of his descendants are also to be seen. According to History of Cape Cod, this burying-ground is "near the road leading from Nobscusset to Satucket," or, according to Josiah Paine, Esq., "a little south of the county road in East Dennis, which is but a short distance from the Brewster line." Hem. 2d, Damaris(???), who survived him, and was living 27 March, 1729.

Winslow Family History
Short Excerpts of Winslow HistoryExcerpts from the Winslow Memorial and the Tracy- Winslow Book Bibliographic Information: Holton, David Parsons. Winslow Memorial. D.P.Holton. New York. 1877THE WINSLOW FAMILYThe earlier records given here are taken from "KENELM WINSLOW MEMORIAL." The family of Winslows existed in England long previous to the first record here listed. It is believed this English family was entirely distinct from the Winslows of Denmark. the first ancestor of the latter which has been found, being Rev. Peder-Jacobsen Winslow, father of Prof. Jacob-Benignus Winslow, who was born April 2, 1669, which was later than the Pilgrim Winslows. However there was a parish in Scania named Winslof, or Winslow, at an early date, which may have originated with a more ancient family, from whom it is possible that the English and American Winslows are descended. About the first records we have of the English Winslows are in connection with the family of Crouchmans, whose residence was called "CROUCHMAN'S HALL," but when it came into possession of the Winslows by marriage it was styled "WYNCELOWE'S HALL" and the ancient arms of that family are sculptured in stone in various parts of the old hall and also the manor. This John Wyncelowe who married the heiress, Mary or Mariota Crouchman, was of great repute in the City of London about 1350, but it is not determined from what part of England his family came, though the name is frequently mentioned in the early history of London. FIRST GENERATION1. WILLIAM WYNCELOWE Born about 1300. TWO SONS: (1.) JOHN WYNCELOWE, ESQUIRE Of London, afterwards of "Wyncelowe Hall." He was of great repute in London about 1350, and was living 1387-1388. MARRIED Mary (Mariota) Crouchman. (2.) WILLIAM WYNCELOWE.ANCESTORS OF MARY (MARIOTA) CROUCHMAN.WILLIAM CROUCHMAN Of County Essex about 1357. MARRIED Egidia Greig, daughter and heiress of John Greig, Esquire, of "Hempstead Hall," in County Essex. TWO SONS: (1.) JOHN CROUCHMAN Of "Hempstead Hall," about 1360-70. (2.) WILLIAM CROUCHMAN WILLIAM CROUCHMAN Heir to his brother, John, of "Hempstead Hall," in County Essex. Died about 1391. ONE DAUGHTER: MARY (MARIOTA) CROUCHMAN MARY (MARIOTA) CROUCHMAN Heiress to her father. She was styled "of Crouchman's Hall." Died 1409-10. MARRIED John Wyncelowe, Esquire, of London (of great repute there about 1350). After this marriage, "Crouchman's Hall" became "Wyncelowe Hall." He was living in 1387-88. ONE SON: WILLIAM WYNCELOWE MARRIED Agnes Poore. MARRIED SECOND, Thomas Holgilt, Esquire. No record of any children. WILLIAM WINCELOWE, Esquire Of "Wincelowe Hall." Born 1389-90. Died 1426-27. MARRIED Agnes Poore, sister and heiress of Sir Thomas Poore, of County Oxford. She was born 1379. Died 1443. ONE DAUGHTER: JANE (JOANE) WYNCELOWE Who died unmarried, in 1431. SECOND GENERATION2. WILLIAM WYNCELOWE SECOND SON of No. 1 Born about 1340. ONE SON: THOMAS WYNCELOWE (No. 3)THIRD GENERATION3. THOMAS WINSELOWE, Esquire Of Burton in County of Oxford. Held lands, also, in Essex. Born about 1380. Was living in 1443 and in 1452. MARRIED Cecelia Tansley (Lady Agnes). She was one of the two daughters and heiresses of an old family of "Tansleys." ONE SON: WILLIAM WINSLOWE (No. 4) FOURTH GENERATION4. WILLIAM WINSLOWE Born about 1435-40. TWO SONS: (1.) KENELM WINSLOW (No. 5) (2.) RICHARD WINSLOW Born July 17, 155-. Had a grant from King Edward VI, of the Rectory of Elksley, in County of Nottingham. NOTE: David Parsons Holton in his "Kenelm Winslow Memorial," states he has been unable to prove up on the foregoing records, but without further research, he has assumed that they are approximately correct. From this point on, Dr. Holton seems quite sure of his records. Note the continual change in the spelling of the name. FIFTH GENERATION5. KENELM WINSLOW Of Kempsey, England. Died 1607 in the parish of St. Andrew, County Worcester, England. In 1559, he purchased of Sir Richard Newport, an estate called "Newport's Place," in Kempsey, County Worcester. He had an older and very considerable estate in the same parish called "Clerkenleap." It was sold by his grandson, Richard Winslow, in 1650. MARRIED Catherine (Katherine). ONE SON: EDWARD WINSLOW (No. 6) He is the only child of whom we have knowledge, though his will indicates there were other children besides Edward. NOTE: It is interesting to note the carelessness about the spelling in those times, even ones own name, as the following examples indicate. In the will of Kenelm Winslow (No. 5), father of this Edward, in the body of his will he wrote his name "Kenelme Wynslowe," and his signature at end is "Kenelm Wynslo." The Parish Clerk at St. Peters, Droitwich, writes the name "Kenelme Wynsloe," sonne of "Edward Wynslowe." SIXTH GENERATION6. EDWARD WINSLOW Of Kempsey and Droitwich, County Worcester, England. Born Oct. 7 (or 17) 1560 at the parish of St. Andrews, County Worcester, England. Died before 1631. MARRIED (supposedly) Eleanor Pelham, of Droitwich, England, daughter of Sir Herbert Pelham of that place. ONE SON of Edward and Eleanor (Pelham) Winslow: RICHARD WINSLOW Of Draycoat, Parish of Kempsey, England. Born about 1585. Died May 20, 1659. MARRIED about 1605, Alice (Hay) Hurdman, daughter of Edward Hurdman. (Her first husband was Mr. Hay, Esquire, and they had one son, James Hay, who was living in 1659). In 1669, she left a donation to the poor of Kempsey. FOUR CHILDREN of Richard and Alice Hay Winslow: (1.) RICHARD WINSLOW (2.) JOHN WINSLOW (3.) ELYNOR (ELEANOR) WINSLOW (4.)

KENELM1 Winslow, third son and fourth child of Edward Winslow and Magdalene (Ollyver) of Droitwich, Worcestershire, Eng., was born at that place, on Sunday, 29 April, 1599, and baptized the Thursday following, 3May, 1599; he "dyed at Salem and was buried there 13 Sept., 1672," '. 73 years. He came to Plymouth, probably in 1629 with his brother Josiah1, and was admitted freeman, 1 Jan. 1632-3. In 1640, he was chosen Surveyor in Town of Plymouth, but neglecting highways is fined ten shillings [Ply. Col. Rec.,II, p. 1]. He removed to Marshfield about 1641, having previously received agrant of land at that place, then called Green's Harbor, 5 Mar. 1637-8: "all that parcel of land remaining of that neck of land lying on the east side of the lands lately granted to Josias Winslow, at Green's Harbor, are granted to Kenelme Winslow and Love Brewster, to be divided betwixt them, provided that Kenelme Winslow have that part next adjoining to his brother Josias,upon the conditions the lands there are granted upon" [Plym. Col. Rec., I,78]. Miss Thomas, in her memorials of Marshfield, p. 27, says: he "settledon a gentle eminence by the sea, near the extremity of a neck of land lying between Green Harbor and South Rivers. This tract of the township was considered the Eden of the region. It was beautified with groves of majestic oaks and graceful walnuts, with the underground void of tangled shrubbery. A few of these groves were standing within the memory of persons now living(1854) but all have fallen beneath the hand of the woodman." This homestead he gave to his second son, Nathaniel2, and at his death it passed into the hands of his son, Kenelm3, who m. Abigail Waterman; their son Kenelm4, whom. Abigail Bourne, was obliged to sell the place in consequence of the failure in business of his younger brother Joseph4, of Boston, which also involved his ruin. Other lands were granted to Kenelm1 Winslow at various times, and still others were purchased by him. He was one of the twenty-six original proprietors of Assonet (Freetown), Mass., purchased from the Indians 2 April, 1659, and received the 24th lot, a portion of which is still owned and occupied (1873) by Barnaby4 Winslow, his gr. gr. gr. grandson "to whom, by heirship, it has descended through successive generations of more than two hundred years." Mr. Winslow was styled "joiner," 6 Jan. 1633-4, when Samuel Jenney was indented to him as an apprentice; but he is elsewhere and generally called a "planter" and was somewhat engaged in the shipping interest. Besides serving his townsmen in minor offices, he was deputy, or representative, in the general court, 1642-44, and 1649-53, eight years.[Plym. Col. Rec.]There is, among different branches of his descendants, a tradition that he possessed a high spirit or temper which brought him into litigation.He m. June, 1634, Eleanor Adams, widow of John Adams, of Plymouth.1 She survived him and d. at Marshfield, Mass., where she was buried 5 Dec. 1681, "being eighty-three years old." He d. 13 Sept. 1672, '. seventy-three, Salem, Mass., where he had gone on business [Hon. Luther Hatch, of Marshfield]. According to Rev. L. R. Paige, he died there "apparently after a long sickness; for in his will dated five weeks earlier, 8 Aug. 1672, he describes himself as 'being very sick and drawing nigh unto Death He may have been in Salem on a visit to Mrs. Elizabeth Corwin, [Curwen] daughter of his brother Edward1 Winslow, or perhaps, for the purpose of obtaining medical aid." Their children were:2. 1. KENELM, [6] b. abt. 1635; d. 11 Nov. 1715; m. Mercy Worden; m. 2d, Damaris (???)3. 2. ELEANOR or ELLEN, [18] b. abt. 1637; d. 27 Aug. 1676; m. Samuel Baker4. 3.

KENELM2, [2] (Kenelm1,) b. abt. 1635, Plymouth, Mass.; d. 11 Nov., 1715, Harwich, Mass., "in the 79th year of his age," acc. to gravestone, (14 Nov. acc. to Savage,). He early removed to Cape Cod, and settled in that part of Yarmouth which was afterwards incorporated with Harwich, and which is now Brewster. His homestead was near the westerly border of the town, now known as West Brewster, Satucket, or Winslow's Mills. He is mentioned in the Yarmouth Records as early as 1668, Harwich then being in the constable rick of Yarmouth. In a "rate" dated 29 Apr., 1676, towards the charge of the late war," we find "Kenel. Winslow œ4. 13.6. [Freeman's Hist. Cape Cod, ,p. 195.] Whether he was engaged in any of the encounters with the Indians we do not know, but, n 1678, he is styled "Col. Winslow" in the list of freemen of Yarmouth (Hist. Cape Cod, II, p. 196). He is also called "planter" or "yeoman" in sundry deeds, and is a purchaser of large tracts of wild land, especially in what is now the town of Rochester, on which several of his children afterwards dwelt. In 1679, he was engaged with the "thirty partners" in such a purchase. See Mass. Hist. Coll., XIV, 259, where he is erroneously described as of Marshfield, instead of Yarmouth. We find also on the 15 Mar. 1680, an agreement was made "with our neighbors, the purchasers or proprietors of the land between Stoney Brook and Bound Brook," subsequently signed by Ananias Wing, Paul Sears, Kenelm Winslow, and John Dillingham, Jr., on the one part, and by John Thacher, Sam'l Haw??s, Thomas Sturgis and Josiah Thacher in behalf of Yarmouth [Hist. Cape Cod, II, p.198]. Among other purchases he secured a good "water privilege," which has been of advantage to his descendants even unto the present time. In 1699 he sold it to his son Kenelm, and now (1873) it is owned by his great-great-great grandson, Wm.7 Winslow, of West Brewster, Mass.From the Mansfield, Conn., Records, we find that Kenelm Winslow, of Harwich,Barnstable Co., Mass., bought of George Denison, of Stonington, one thousand acres of land in Windham, (in that part of the town which afterwards became Mansfield,) Conn., 11 March, 1700, for which he paid œ30. On the 7th of October, 1700, he gives this land to his son Samuel, who afterwards sells it to his brother Kenelm [50]. It does not appear from the records that Kenelm Winslow, either father or son, ever resided in Windham or Mansfield. Like his father he seems to have incurred the displeasure of the General Court.Under date of 3 Oct. 1662 (Rec., IV, 29), it is recorded that "Kenelme Winslow, junr., for riding a journey on the Lord's day, although he pleaded some disappointment enforcing him thereunto, is fined ten shillings." He must not, however, be regarded as a scoffer at religion, or as negligent in the observance of its forms, for on three occasions he went to Scituate, some sixty miles distant, that his children might not remain unbaptized. "He brought to the 2d church in Scituate for baptism, Kenelm, 1668; Josiah, 1670; Thomas, 1672. It is well known that many of the ministers in the colony were opposed to infant sprinkling at that time" [Deane's Hist. Scituate, p. 389]. Also, about a year before his death, 4 Oct. 1714, he was one among five chosen "to seat persons, or place them where they shall sit, in the meeting house" [Hist. Cape Cod, II, p. 501]. He m. 23 Sept. 1667, Mercy Worden, b. abt. 1641, dau. of Peter, Jr., and Mercy, of Yarmouth.

In his will, dated 8 August 1672 and proved 5 June 1673, "Kanelme Winslow Senior" ordered that "what estate I have formerly settled on my eldest son Kanelme ... shall remain unaltered" and bequeathed to "my son Nathaniel ... the half of my farm that I last lived upon ... as I gave him by a former deed of gift"; "and the other half of the farm to my wife, for the term of her natural life" and "after the decease of my wife Ellinor Winslow the said half of the farm shall return unto my son Nathaniel"; to "my son Job ... half of my land at Namassakett which is about fifty acres ... and the other fifty acres or thereabouts unto Kanelme Baker my grandchild"; to "my daughter Ellinor" £5; "my wife shall at her decease give unto Mary Addams an equal portion of the goods and moveables as to the rest of my grandchildren"; wife to be sole executrix and "Major Josias Winslow and my son Kanelme Winslow" to be overseers [ MD 24:41-42, citing PCPR 3:1:56]. The inventory of the estate of Kenelm Winslow, taken 25 September 1672, totalled £87 15s. 4d.; the real estate, unvalued, followed: "one half of the dwelling house and housings and meadow lands and uplands belonging to the said farm he had lived on and now died possessed of in the town of Marshfield"; "one half of all the lands granted him by the Court with the ancient freemen which lieth on the west side of Taunton River either divided or to be divided hereafter"; and "one half of the portion of land granted by the court to him and his brother Josias Winslow upon the account of their brother Gilbert Winslow as he was a first comer" [ MD 24:42, citing PCPR 3:1:57]. BIRTH: Baptized Droitwich, Worcestershire, 3 May 1599, son of Edward and Magdalen (Oliver) Winslow [ NEHGR 4:297, 21:210]. DEATH: Buried at Salem 13 September 1672 [ MarVR 427]. MARRIAGE: Plymouth in June 1634 "Elen Adames" [ PCR 1:30]; she was ELLEN NEWTON , widow of JOHN ADAMS [ TAG 55:212-13]; she was buried at Marshfield 5 December 1681, aged 83 [ MD 2:250; MarVR 13]. CHILDREN: i KENELM, b. say 1635; m. (1) by 1668 Mercy Worden (eldest child b. Scituate 9 August 1668, father stated to be of Yarmouth; in her will of 6 March 1686[/7] Mary Worden, widow, of Yarmouth bequeathed to daughter Mercy Winslow [ MD 3:201-02, citing BarnPR 1:12]); m. (2) by 1693 Damaris Eames, daughter of Mark Eames (in his will of 12 July 1693 Mark Eames of Marshfield bequeathed to "daughter Damaris Winslow" [ Gen Adv 3:93-94, citing PPR 1:172]). ii ELLEN, b. say 1636; m. Marshfield 20 [December 1656 Samuel Baker] (the marriage record as published is missing all but the name of the bride and the day of the event; the month and the year are suggested by the preceding marriage record, which was for November 1656, and the date of birth of the first child, on 23 March 1657/8 [ MarVR 2, 4]). On 7 March 1653/4 "Kanelme Winslow complained against John Soule for speaking falsely of and scandalizing his daughter in carrying diverse false reports betwixt Josias Standish and her; the which complaint, at the request of G[e]orge Soule, father of the said John Soule, was referred until another Court, to be tried by a jury of twelve of his equals" [ PCR 3:46-47]. iii NATHANIEL, b. say 1639; m. Marshfield 3 August 1664 Faith Miller [ MarVR 5]. iv JOB, b. say 1641; m. by 1674 Ruth _____ (eldest known child b. Swansea 16 November 1674 [ SwVR 21]). (In 1914 Richard Henry Greene rejected the claim that Ruth was daughter of Daniel Cole; he examined several other possibilities, including a placement in the family of STEPHEN HOPKINS , but came to no firm conclusion [ NYGBR 45:2-8; see also MF 6:7, 11].) ASSOCIATIONS: Brother of EDWARD WINSLOW , GILBERT WINSLOW , JOHN WINSLOW and JOSIAH WINSLOW . COMMENTS: Although Kenelm Winslow first appears of record in Plymouth in the tax list of 25 March 1633, and was therefore certainly in New England by 1632, he is paired in the early years with his brother Josiah Winslow, who is known to have arrived in 1631, and so we assume that Kenelm came at the same time. On 4 June 1645 "Kenelme Winslow complained that he had injustice, in that he could not be heard in the suit betwixt John Mynard and himself"; after investigation by the court, he "was committed to prison and fined £10," whereupon he reversed himself and was released from prison and the fine was eventually remitted [ PCR 2:85]. On 5 May 1645/6 "upon hearing of the cause betwixt Roger Chaundler and Kenelme Winslow, for his daughter's clothes, which the said Kenelme detaineth, upon pretense of some further service which he required of her, whereunto the said Roger utterly refused to consent, it is ordered by the Court, that the said Kenelme Winslow shall deliver the maid her clothes without any further delay" [ PCR 2:98]. On the same day "Kenelme Winslow, for opprobrious words against the church of Marshfeild, saying they were all liars, &c., was ordered by the Court to find sureties for his good behavior, which he refusing to do, was committed to prison, where he remained until the General Court following" [ PCR 2:98]. Despite this bad year, Kenelm Winslow continued to hold important town and colony offices for another decade. His last year as deputy was 1653, and he virtually disappears from public view at that time, although he lived for another two decades. This was about the time that his two elder and more prominent brothers, Edward and John, left Plymouth Colony; perhaps Kenelm owed his limited success to the presence of these brothers, and once they were gone his own abilities were not sufficient to maintain himself at this level.

Biography
Kenelm Winslow, nephew of Governor Edward Winslow, early removed to Cape Cod, and settled in that part of Yarmouth which was afterwards incorporated with Harwich, and which is now Brewster. His homestead was near the westerly border of the town, now known as West Brewster, Satucket, or Winslow's Mills. He is mentioned in the Yarmouth Records as early as 1668, Harwich then being in the constablerick of Yarmouth. In a "rate" dated 29 Apr., 1676, "towards the charge of the late war," we find "Kenel. Winslow œ4. 13.6. [1]
Whether he was engaged in any of the encounters with the Indians we do not know, but, in 1678, he is styled "Col. Winslow" in the list of freemen of Yarmouth. [2] He is also called "planter" or "yeoman" in sundry deeds, and is a purchaser of large tracts of wild land, especially in what is now the town of Rochester, on which several of his children afterwards dwelt. In 1679, he was engaged with the "thirty partners" in such a purchase. [3] We find also on the 15 Mar. 1680, an agreement was made "with our neighbors, the purchasers or proprietors of the land between Stoney Brook and Bound Brook," subsequently signed by Ananias Wing, Paul Sears, Kenelm Winslow, and John Dillingham, Jr., on the one part, and by John Thacher, Sam'l Haw??s, Thomas Sturgis and Josiah Thacher in behalf of Yarmouth [4] Among other purchases he secured a good "water privilege," which has been of advantage to his descendants even unto the present time. In 1699 he sold it to his son Kenelm, and now (1873) it is owned by his great-great-great grandson, Wm.7 Winslow, of West Brewster, Mass.
From the Mansfield, Conn., Records, we find that Kenelm Winslow, of Harwich, Barnstable Co., Mass., bought of George Denison, of Stonington, one thousand acres of land in Windham, (in that part of the town which afterwards became Mansfield,) Conn., 11 March, 1700, for which he paid œ30. On the 7th of October, 1700, he gives this land to his son Samuel, who afterwards sells it to his brother Kenelm [50]. It does not appear from the records that Kenelm Winslow, either father or son, ever resided in Windham or Mansfield.
Like his father Kenelm seems to have incurred the displeasure of the General Court. Under date of 3 Oct. 1662 (Rec., IV, 29), it is recorded that "Kenelme Winslow, junr., for riding a journey on the Lord's day, although he pleaded some disappointment enforcing him thereunto, is fined ten shillings." He must not, however, be regarded as a scoffer at religion, or as negligent in the observance of its forms, for on three occasions he went to Scituate, some sixty miles distant, that his children might not remain unbaptized. "He brought to the 2d church in Scituate for baptism, Kenelm, 1668; Josiah, 1670; Thomas, 1672. It is well known that many of the ministers in the colony were opposed to infant sprinkling at that time" [5]. Also, about a year before his death, 4 Oct. 1714, he was one among five chosen "to seat persons, or place them where they shall sit, in the meeting house". [6]
He m. 23 Sept. 1667, Mercy Worden, b. abt. 1641, dau. of Peter, Jr., and Mercy, of Yarmouth. She d. 22 Sept., 1688, "in the 48th year of her age," according to her gravestone, which is still standing in the Winslow burying-ground in Dennis. The monument is of a hard slate, is said to have been brought from England, and is the oldest in the yard. The headstones of Kenelm Winslow, his two sons, and many of his descendants are also to be seen. According to History of Cape Cod, this burying-ground is "near the road leading from Nobscusset to Satucket," or, according to Josiah Paine, Esq., "a little south of the county road in East Dennis, which is but a short distance from the Brewster line." Hem. 2d, Damaris(???), who survived him, and was living 27 March, 1729.
