She died September 19*^ 1690. They had children. Richard Park* settled in Cambridge, Mass., in 1635. He was a proprietor at Cambridge Farms (Lexington), in 1642, His house was near the commons in Cambridge. In a division of lands in 1647, he had eleven acres in Cambridge Village, bounded west on Mr. Edward Jackson's land, and the highway to Dedham was laid out through it in 1648. The very ancient dwelling house which was pulled down about 1800 was supposed to have been built by him. It stood within a few feet of the spot now occupied by the Eliot church. Previous to 1652, he owned a large tract of land in the N. W. part of the village bounded west by the Fuller Farm, North by Charles River, East by the Dummer Farm and South and East by the Mahew Farm. It contained 600 acres which he probably bought of Pastor Shepard or his heirs. By his will dated Dec. 5, 1665, witnessed by Elder Wiswall and Hugh Mason, he bequeathed to his only son Thomas all his houses and lands, after the death of his wife Sarah. By his inventory dated 19, 8, 1665, taken by John Sherman and John Spring, the dwelling house, barn, out houses and 600 acres of land adjoining, whereof 20 acres is broken up, is appraised at £660 and 29 acres elsewhere at £100. The whole amount of the inventory was £972. In 1657 he was one of a committee, with Edward Jackson, John Jackson, and Samuel Hyde, to lay out and settle highways in the village. During the contest between the village and Cambridge, to be set off, he sent a petition to the Court in 1661 praying to [92] retain his connection with the Cambridge church. All his prop- erty except 600 acres and buildings was equally divided between his two daughters. "The situation of the large Park Farm in Newton, in relation to Watertown, accounts for the numerous alliances between the descendants of Richard Park and Watertown families. The farm of Richard Park was contiguous to the small parcel of land be- longing to Watertown, on the South side of the Charles River and it is probable that his residence was at an early date within the bounds of Watertown. . . . "The early settlers of Newton, properly so called, numbered only twenty, or at most twenty-two. Among them were Jack- son, Fuller, Hyde, Park, Ward, Wiswall, Prentice and Trow- bridge. The men bearing these names exercised a leading in- fluence in all the affairs of the town. By their prudence, piety, enterprise and patriotism and virtue, they impressed upon the town a character which it is still proud to maintain. Richard Park came to Newton from Cambridge in 1647. He died there in 1665. He owned a large tract of land in the village. By his will, he bequeathed to his only son Thomas this tract of land with the houses thereon, after the death of his wife Sarah, who, in 1665, moved to Duxbury, Mass.* His son Thomas married Abigail Dix of Watertown 1653 and they had five sons and four daughters, among whom this tract of land was divided in 1694, (Thomas having deceased) and the contents were then about 800 acres, Thomas having added by purchase 200 acres and built a corn mill upon the Charles River, near where the dam now is in the North village. "Near the spot where the Meeting House of the First Church originally stood, a marble pillar was erected September i, 1852, with appropriate inscriptions on the four faces, in commem.oration of the first inhabitants of the town and recording their names. On the West side, the name of Richard Park 1647-1665, appears." * The following entry will be found in the First Book of the Plymouth First Church Records, Part III, p. 22.

Cambridge, MA abt. 1650, m(2) 1 Sep 1656 Sarah (Collier) Brewster, b. 1613, d. Duxbury, MA 26 Apr 1691. Richard Park may have been a son of Thomas Park of the Isle of Ely. His occupation was that of a miller. At the age of 33, with his wife, aged 40, he left London in the ship Defence which sailed on August 19, 1635 and arrived at Boston on Oct. 3. He settled in Cambridge where, on Feb. 8, 1635-6, his home was near Fresh Pond. He was a proprietor of Cambridge in 1636, and by 1639 he owned « acre with house and outhouses adjoining the "Cow Common" in Cambridge. In the division of lands in 1647-8 he was granted 11 acres on the south side of the river in Cambridge Village, now called Newton. He was also granted 13 acres adjoining the west end of the lot he bought from John Betts, to make up his full division.[1] In 1648 a highway to Dedham was laid out through his Cambridge Village land. Around 1800 a very ancient dwelling house was pulled down which was suppossed to have been built by Richard Park. It stood within a few feet of the spot now occupied by Eliot Church. Previous to 1652 Richard owned 600 acres of land in the northwest part of Cambridge Village.[1] Richard received another 100 acres, lot 78 of the Shawshine grant (later Billerica), June 9, 1652,[5/59] however it appears he never took up residence there. A Richard Park (perhaps his son) signed a document Oct. 17, 1664 pledging his loyalty to and satisfaction in the then present government.[5/75] Richard Park was appointed constable on Nov. 10, 1656, and on Jan. 11, 1657 he and Edward Jackson, Samuel Hides, and John Jackson were named a committee to lay out and settle highways at their end of town. In 1661 he signed a petition to retain his connection with the Cambridge Church, and in 1663 he was released from military duties on account of his age.[1] In his will, dated July 12, 1665, Richard mentioned his wife, his son Thomas, and his two daughters. It was witnessed by Hugh Mason and Thomas Wiswall and recorded June 16, 1666.[6/2:260] Richard's son Richard was not mentioned in the will and had either died, already been provided for, or had alienated himself from his father. The inventory of the estate was taken Oct. 19, 1665 by John Sherman and John Spring and totaled 972 pounds.[6/2:261] On Sept. 26, 1678 widow Sarah Park of Duxbury sold her interest in the estate to Thomas Park for 45 pounds 15s.[1] It is not clear what the evidence is for giving Margery's surname as Crane.

Notes for Richard Parke: --------- RICHARD PARKE. We wonder why Richard came to the colonies. It was about this time that King Charles I was curtailing the liberties of the English people. Speaking of this period, Macaulay's History of England says: This was the conjuncture at which the liberties of the nation were in the greatest peril. The opponents of the government began to despair of the destiny of their country; and many looked to the American wilderness as the only asylum in which they could enjoy civil and spiritual freedom. There a few resolute Puritans, who, in the cause of their religion, feared neither the rage of the ocean nor the hardships of uncivilised life, neither the fangs of savage beasts nor the tomahawks of more savage men, had built, amidst the primeval forests, villages which are now great and opulent cities, but which have, through every change, retained some trace of the character derived from their founders. The government regarded these infant colonies with aversion, and attempted violently to stop the stream of emigration, but could not prevent the population of New England from being largely recruited by stouthearted and Godfearing men from evers part of the old England. . . Richard Parke was undoubtedly influenced by the unsettled condition of affairs in England, to emigrate to America. Born in England, Richard Parke sailed from London in the ship "Defence," which left England August 10, 1635 and arrived at Boston October 3, 1635, and settled in Cambridge, afterwards called Cambridge Farms and now known as Newton, Mass. His descendants resided in that neighborhood for about a century and then some of them emigrated to Maine, Mew Hampshire, Vermont, Rhode Island, Connecticut and New York. Though some still reside in and near Cambridge, others can be found in nearly every State in the Union. (from the Genealogy of the Parke Family) In the "Proprietors' Records of Cambridge," a number of references to Richard Parke are found, as follows: [1639.] "RICHARD PARKE. One house upon the Cowe Common with halfe an Acre of ground. Persival Greene west, John Wilcock East, Swampe northeast, Cow Common southwest... Jt Jn the North side of Jones his Hill two Acres and ten pole of planting ground, William Patten west, Persival Greene East, Richard Champnies & Edward Wenchep south, Cowe Common North... A Transcript of the houses and lands of the Inhabitants of the Town of Cambridge given in at a General Court holden at Boston the sixth day of the seventh month, A. D. 1642: [Page 102.] "RICHARD PARKE. Impr on the Comon one dwellinge house with outhouses and about halfe an Acr of land more or lesse, Nathaneel Sparrowhank East, Hellen Green west, the pyneswampe north, the Comon south... Itm In the new west field Two Acr more or lesse Hellen Green East, William Pattin West, Richard Champnyes and Edward Winship south... [Page 133.] (1647-S.) Lands layd out to several of the Inhabitants of the Town on ye south side of Charles river. On the south side of the highway: More layd out to Richard Parke eleven acres, abutting vppon mr Jacson land east & west, & the high way to dedham passing through it... more to Richard Parke to make up his full deuisio [division] for his owne house 13:ackr adjoineing the west end of the lott he bought of John Betts." The Town Records of Cambridge, formerly "Newtowne," mention Richard Parke several times. On Feb. 8. 1635, among "The names of those men whoe have houses in the Towne at this present as only are to be acounted as houses of the Towne," the name of Richard Parke is recorded as being "by the ffresh Pond." On page 39, in a list made out "9th 4 mo 1652;" Richard Parke had lot No. 78, which contained 100 acres. Page 47, "at a meeting of the Inhabitants of this Towne 10th 9th mo 1656 ffor the Eleccon of Towne officrs. Richard Parkes, Edward Shepard, and Robert Parker are chosen Constables for the yeare ensuing, and to Joyne with the aforesaid Selectmen." Page 52, 11th 11th Mo 1657, "Mr. Edward Jackson, Jno. Jackson, Richard Parkes & Samuel Hide are appoynted a Comittee to lay out and settle the high wayes in refference to the propritors at that end of the Towne, prvided they prjudice not ye Towne, otherwise then by crossing vppon any part of the comon, as need shall require." Page 74, "ffebr 11th 1666." "Nicholas Withe complayneing that he is injured by not hauing his full due granted him on the South Side the river neere Boston line, by reason yt at part of the Townes grant was layd into the prpriety of Richard Parkes." Jackson's "History of Newton," says in part: "Richard Park was a proprictor in Cambridge 1636, and of Cambridge Farms, Lexington 1642. His house was near the Cow Common in Cambridge. The very ancient dwelling house which was pulled down about 1800, was supposed to have been built by him. It stood within a few feet of the spot now occupied by the Eliot church. Previous to 1652 he owned a large tract of land in the n. w. part of the Village, bounded w. by the Fuller farm, n. by Charles river; e by Duminer farm, and s. and e. by the Mayhew farm (Mr. Edward Jackson's,) containing six hundred acres, which he probably bought of Pastor Shepard or his heirs. By his will 12-5-1665, witnessed by Elder Wiswall and Hugh Mason, he bequeathed to his son Thomas all his houses and lands, after the decease of his wife Sarah. By his inventory dated 19-8-1665, taken by John Sherman and John Spring, the dwelling house, barn, out-houses, and six hundred acres of land adjoining, whereof twenty acres is broken up, is appraised at œ660 and twenty-nine acres elsewhere at œ100. The whole amount of inventory was œ972. During the contest between the Village and Cambridge to be set off, he sent a petition to the Court, in 1661, praying to retain his connection with the Cambridge Ch. In 1663 he was released from training, on account of his age. He d. 1665, leaving wid. Sarah, son Thomas and two daughters. One of the daughters m. Francis Whittemore of Camb. All his property (except the 600 acres and buildings) was equally divided between the two daughters. Thirteen years after his decease, Thomas bought the life estate of the wid. for œ45;15s. Her release is dated Sept. 26, 1678, in which she calls herself of Duxbury, in the Colony of New Plymouth, relict of Richard Parke, late of Camb. Village. This transaction would seem to indicate that she was his mother-in-law." --------- More About Richard Parke:Burial: 1664, Cambridge, Middlesex, MassachusettsChristening: August 1609, Warfield, Suffolk, England or Cambridge, Massachusetts866Emigration: Bet.

Biography
Before she even left England, Dorathy Lord could credit herself with great accomplishment in that she had 8 surviving children in an age when infant mortality was a constant threat. And by the end of her life in 1675, she could take credit for achieving - at age 87 - a life span remarkable even now, 400 years later, with advanced health care, medical technology and comfortable living conditions. Much more so then, having spent the last 40 years of her life on the American frontier. She spent the first half of her life in Towcester, being born there in May of 1588.

We might know as little of Dorathy as we do of her husband, who she outlived by at least a quarter century, except for her will written in February 1669 (new date 1670). She is mentioned only once in the Colonial records prior to her death, and that in May of 1663, the reading of which suggests her husband is already dead by then. Certainly the Court was not expecting Dorathy, at 75 years of age, to go fix the fences herself, as "rail-splitting" for the common "snake" or "worm" fences used in periods of initial settlement was heavy labor, even for grown men But the fact that the court is addressing this issue to Dorathy, not her husband, proves that Thomas, Sr. was deceased by this date. Some 19th century sources claim he "died early "But clearly Dorathy outlived him by a number of years.

Tragically, by living to 1675, Dorathy also outlived her two oldest sons, Richard who died in 1662 and Thomas, Jr. who died in 1667. She also outlived her two youngest sons - John, who died c. 1668 and Robert who died c. 1673. She names her eldest living son William, and her grandson by her deceased son Richard, also named Richard, as executors of her will, confirming her husband Thomas, her eldest son Richard and her next oldest son Thomas, Jr. were all dead by late winter of 1669-1670.

As each of her children had their own heirs, we may assume that the properties described in her will of 1669-70 were those also of her husband, Thomas Lord, Sr., and passed directly to her as his survivor, although one early source suggests Thomas died intestate and what Dorathy describes is only her "widow's share". We have no way of knowing. The properties she does describe included:

"...my now dwelling house and Barn, and my Home lott..."

Left to the children of her late son Thomas, Jr. and presumed to be the house lot assigned to her husband in 1636.

"...my lower lott in the North meadow..."

Also left to the children of her late son Thomas, Jr.

"Three acres of Meadow or swamp in my uper lott in the long meadow next to that Mrs. Olcott hath now in possession."

Left to her daughter Amy, now married to Corporal John Gilbert.

"Three acres of my upper lott adjoyneing to that which I have given my daughter Gilbert."

Left to her son Robert.

"Two acres in my Great lott in the long meadow next adjoyneing to that which I have given my son Robert."

Left to her son William.

At this point Dorathy has split her "upper lott" into three 3-acre parcels, and she leaves the remainder of that property (acreage unknown but probably not less than 3 acres) to her grandson, Richard. as well as an apparently large parcel of meadow between the Connecticut River and Little River (see map here). And to her grandson Richard she also leaves an area of "wood land that is allready layd out or to be layd unto me within the Bounds of Hartford." (See complete text below.)

Clearly, her grandson Richard was a favorite of hers. She lavished property on him and appointed him executor of her estate. But that was not merely because he was first born of her first born Richard, who had died six years earlier. Richard Lord, Jr. was one of the leading figures in Colonial Connecticut at that time, as the histories record. His name appears frequently in the Colonial Records in legal matters of all kinds, listed often as a supervisor of wills in the 1650s, and was clearly seen as one of the leaders of the Colony. found on ancestry.com

He probably had fled to Virginia; Porter (p. 11) prints a letter, dated at Apomatixe (Appomattox), February 20, 1663-4, from him to his nephew, Richard Lord, promising to pay his debts if the next season was favorable to tobacco. October 17, 1648, John Lord, Taylor, was bound over to good behavior, his brother, Thomas Lord, giving bonds for him.

Notes on Thomas Parke
Source: Genealogy of the Parke Families of Massachusetts; Including Richard Parke of Cambridge, William Park of Groton, and Others. Compiled by Frank Sylvester Parks, 1909 Thomas Parke was born in England (son of Richard and Margery Crane Parke) about 1628-9, and probably came to America with his father in the ship "Defence" in 1635, although his name does not appear on the passenger list. He died Aug. 11, 1690. He was a farmer, and his house was near Bruce's (or Bemis's) mill on the bank of the Charles river. He married Abigail Dix, Dec. 1, 1653, a daughter of Edward and Jane (Wilkinson) Dix. She was born May 21, 1637, and died Feb. 3, 1691. The Town Records of Cambridge, under date of April 12, 1665, say that Thomas Parkes was chosen a Constable "for the yeare ensuing." He was admitted Freeman of Cambridge, May 31, 1671. He settled upon the 600 acre tract formerly owned by his father. His estate was divided among his heirs in 1693-4. It then comprised 722 acres and part of a corn-mill on Smelt brook erected by Lt. John Spring.

Newton 3 Feb 1690-1. Thomas Park undoubtedly came to America with his parents in 1635. He was a farmer and settled on the 600 acres formerly owned by his father. His house was near Bruce's (or Bemis') mill on the bank of the Charles River. He was elected constable on April 12, 1665 and was admitted freeman at Cambridge on May 3, 1671. In 1693-4 his estate consisted of 722 acres of land and part of a corn mill on Smelt Brook, erected by Lt. John Spring.[4]
A petition was presented to a session of the General Court commencing May 8, 1678 wherein the inhabitants of Cambridge on the south side of the river requested to be set off as a separate town. Their complaint was similar to that which started the revolution one hundred years later - unfair taxation without representation, in this case from the government of Cambridge. It was signed by Thomas Parks, Sr. and others.[5/81] The selectmen of Cambridge, including ancestor William Manning, made a long presentation on the "impertinency and absurdity" of the petition. Nonetheless, Cambridge Village, sometimes called New Cambridge, became a town of its own in 1679. The court later ordered, in 1691, that the name be changed to New Town.[5/8192] For more information on this topic, see the Robinson Family. The inventory of Thomas' estate was taken Sept. 30, 1690 by William Bond, Sr., Isaac Williams, Sr., and Nathan Fisk.[3/7:153] In the division of the estate several years later are mentioned eldest son John Park, Edward Park, Richard Park, Jonathan Park, Abigail Fiske, Sarah Knop, Rebecca Sanger, and Elizabeth Park.[3/8:360]

Elizabeth Marshall 1630 , Exeter, Devon, England

Elizabeth Marshall was baptized at St. Mary Magdalen Church in Exeter, March 24,1562. She was born into a family at the center of commercial and civic power in the cathedral city as was described in an article in the NEHGR 59:291-97, written by Emory McClintock called "Thomas Trowbridge and Elizabeth Marshal". Her father was the Alderman, John Marshal. In 1615 he was mayor in Exeter. He died befor her marriage. Her mother, Alice, left to her favorite daughter fifty pounds and a piece of plate worth ten pounds, a substantial amount in 1630.

ABOUT THE MARSHALL FAMILY

Trowbridge, Thomas, the first of his family to come to America, was the son of John Trowbridge, a wealthy merchant and prominent citizen of Taunton, Somersetshire. His father had long been identified with the woolen trade in Taunton, which was noted for its manufacture of that staple, and it was natural that the son when he grew up should turn his attention to some branch of that industry, and he is found in earl manhood established in business as a mercer in the neighboring city of Exeter in Devonshire* At the time when he took up his residence there he found that the name Trowbridge was a well-known and respected one in Exeter, with which members of the family had beer long identified through business and residence, and there also his sister Prudence went to live after her marriage in 1621 to William Mace, a leading merchant of the city. In the pedigree of the Marshall family of Exeter was found the name of "Thomas Trobridge of Taunton." This reference was the clue that led to the finding of the record of the marriage of Thomas Trowbridge. In the list of marriage licenses issued for the diocese of Exeter-it is recorded that on March 24, 1627, Thomas Trowbridge of the parish of St. Petrock was licensed to marry Elizabeth Marshall of the parish of St. Mary Arches. In the parish register of St. Mary Arches appears the following entry "26 March 1627 Mr. Thomas Trobrige and Elizabeth daughter of Mr. Alec Marshall widow, married, Jeremy Short parson." In the parish register of St.Petrock1s, Exeter, are recorded the following: Elizabeth Marshall, the wife of Thomas Trowbridge, was a member of a family of the name that flourished in Exeter during the seventeenth William Marshall, who had issue Robert Marshall, who married Joan, daughter and heir of Owsley of Chillington, county Somerset. His will, dated August 7, 1576, was proved by her Oct. 9 following, (prerogative court of Canterbury, carew, 29,) in it he is described as of Ashewille in the parish of Ilminster, and desires to be buried in the churchyard of Ilminster. son Edmund Marshall a tanner.) mentions his sons, John, Nicholas, William, and John (the younger) and Thomas (all under age.) and appoints his wife Joan (who appears to have brought him some property) sole executrix and residuary legatee. He appears to have had two other children, Roger and Anne, who may have been twins, born posthumous. His wife, as Joanne Marshall, had been named as sister in the will of William Owseley of Chillington, near Ilminster, in Somerset, dated October 8, 1558.(Prerogative Court of Canterbury, Wells 22.) John Marshall (the younger) probably settled in Exeter in early life. He was the "worshipful Mr. John Marshall". He was Bailiff of Exeter in 1601, sheriff in 1609, and mayor in 1615. retaining afterwards the position of Alderman. He married at St. Mary Arches 30 August 1595, Alice Bevys (Bevy or Beavis), daughter of Richard and Elizabeth (Prouz) Bevys. The Bevys family is traced to Devonshire to the reign of Henry IV. Richard Bevys became sheriff of Exeter in 1591, governor of the Guild Merchant Adventurers in 1594, and mayor in 1602, dying Aug. 26 of the latter year. He made a deed of trust June 16, 1602, to William Tickle and John Marshall, Gent., for a benefaction to provide marriage portions during future years to worthy young women of several parishes. His wife, Elizabeth Prouz (Prouze, Prowse, Prowse, was probably a relative of Richard Prowse, mayor of Exeter in 1578. According to the pedigree of Prouze of Chagford, near Exeter, a very old family, Richard the mayor was the second son of Lawrence Prouz of Exeter and estate of Chagford going to Lawrence' s eldest son, John, who had a daughter Elizabeth, apparently of about the age of Elizabeth, married to Richard Bevys. The will of Nicholas Bevys, son of Richard, a merchant of Exeter, dated November 8, 1612, and proved June 2, 1613, named as one of the executors of my brother John Marshall. Of the other sons of Richard Bevys, Peterand Richard, the former was more prominent and became lord of the manor of Bishop's List, near Exeter. The family is traced in Devonshire to the reign of Henry IV.
