Edward Bosworth from "The History of the Descendants of Edward Edward Bosworth from "The History of the Descendants of Edward Bosworth who arrived in America in 1634"
The Diary of Samuel Sewall pol. 3, p. 3961, has the following:
"Edward Bosworth came over to New England in
the Elizabeth and Dorcas, Capt Watts Comander. Mr. Ward,
Mr. Bellingham, Mr. Bunker, Mr. Henry Sewall (father of
Samuel Sewall) came in this ship. Went aboard at Gravesend;
arrived here Ano 1634. Thirty were thrown overboard in the
passage of the Calenturet. Edward Bosworth, the Father,
being ready to dye, ask'd to be carried upon the Deck, that
he might see Canaan. When he had seen the Land he resigned
his Soul and dyed: was carried ashoar and buried at Boston. ? ?
*The Scilly Isles are out in the main ocean, fifteen leagues from land. Moreover, the
passage across is one of the worst known. Off the Land's End the English Channel and the
Atlantic Ocean appear to come into violent conflict with each other, so that in the finest
weather there is a heavy swell which is most uncomfortable.
j A medical term formerly applied to a tropical fever with acute delirium supposed to
attack sailors in hot climates.
It is evident that Edward having died and his wife being
left a widow, she found it impossible-having come into a
new and strange land-to sustain herself and family without
assistance, for in Mass. Colony Records [Vol. 1, p. 1231 we
find the following: "At a Court holden at Newe Towne,
[Cambridge] August 5, 1634 It was ordered that such
moneyes as shalbe layde out for the mainetenance of Widd.
Bosworth and her famyly shalbe payde againe by the
Treasurer. "
It is also evident from the records, that Mr. Henry Sewall
had loaned money to Edward Bosworth to assist him in the
expenses of the passage for himself and family, and a year
later the sons-Jonathan aged 22, Benjamin 20, and Nathaniel
not quite 18, with the son-in-law, William Buckland, were
obliged to pay the debt, for in the Records of Mass. [Vol. 1,
p. 1521 we find: "A court holden att Newe Towne July 7,
1635 . . . In consideration of money disbursed by Mr.
Henry Sewall for the transportacon of Edward Bosworth and
his ffamyly, it is ordered, that Jonathan Bosworth shall pay
to Mr. Seawall the some of VE upon the 29th of Septembr
nexte; William Buckland V£ on the said- 29th of Sept',
Nathaniel Bosworth 1." (fifty shillings) att the said day, & 1"
more that day twelue moneth; and Beniamyn Bosworth xxx"
on the same 29th of Sepr, & iij£ xs att midsumer nexte; all
theis somes to be paide to the said Mr. Seawall. Also, it is
agreed, that the forenamed pties shalbe bound one for another
for the payment of the said somes att the seuall dayes
of payemt." (It will be seen that the entire sum paid
amounted to twenty pounds, about $100.)
The widow and family of Edward seem to have gone early
to Hingham, which was then being laid out (Hingham was
incorporated Sept. 2, 1635), where they were joined by the
eldest son, Jonathan; at least, we find them all there in 1635.
It is to the Rev. Peter Hobart, first pastor of the Hingham
church*, that we are indebted for the faithf~dlyk ept records
of the baptisms of the Bosworth children born there; and
*An exterior and interior view of the Hingharn church-the latter showins pews taken
from the old building-may be found in Bosworth Bulletins, Nos. 1 and 2.
Rev. Peter Hobart graduated from Magdalen College, Cambridge, Ensland, in 16?i,
and settled in Hingham, Mass., 1635; died there, 1679.
while we are very grateful to him for what he did, we wish he
had gone a little further and told us in each case who was the
father of the child baptized-as there were three Bosworth
brothers attending church there at the time and having
children baptized-not to mention our heartier thanks had
he also written the name of the mother. However, with this
desirable information in many instances not given, I have
done the best I could-after years of earnest study of the
subject, and the help of the wills of Jonathan and Nathaniel
-to arrange these children in their proper places with correct
dates. It is to these same records we owe the date of the death
of Mary Bosworth, the mother; being recorded as follows:
"May 18, 1648, Widow Bosworth died. "
The family of Edward1 and Mary (-) Bosworth, asnear as I can ascertain, at least all that I am sure of, was as follows:
CHILDREN, all born in England:
2+ M MARY^, b. prob. abt. 1611; m. William Buckland.
3 + ~~-JONATHAN~, b. 1613; m. Elizabeth (-).
4+ JO B BEN JAM IN^, b. 1615; m. 1st (-); 2nd, Mrs. Beatrice Joscelyn.
5+ iv-NATHANIEL~b,. Sept. 4,1617; m. Bndget Bellamy.
NOTE: AS will be seen, I have not included an Edmond among the children of Edward' and Mary Bosworth. I am fully aware that Rec. ofMass., Vol. 11, p. 5, states that at the "laying out of a plantation at Nantasket, Edmond Bosworth and Nathaniel Bosworth were assigned 'house lotts . . . betwixt the two hills next Pedocks Iiand,' " but as I have not been able to find any other mention of an Edmond, and as I know that Benjamin and Nathaniel received land at the above location, I have come to the conclusion, with which other genealogical students of the matter agree, that a mistake was made and it really should read Benjamin instead of "Edmond." If the English history of the family is ever found it will settle this, and of course this conclusion may have to be changed.
