Kimball, Henry

Notes:

BIRTH: No birth rec found. Henry is apparently one of the 12 unnamed children of Henry Kimball mentioned in the adm of estate of his brother Caleb Kimball, 30 Nov 1675, as he cannot be placed in any other Kimball family in the area (THE PROBATE RECORDS OF ESSEX COUNTY, 3 vols. [Salem, MA, 1916-20], 3:38-39 [FHL #974.45 P2p]). Henry's date of birth is calculated from age 22 in deposition of Mar 1677 (RECORDS AND FILES OF THE QUARTERLY COURTS OF ESSEX COUNTY, 9 vols. [Salem, MA, 1911-75], 6:252-53 [FHL #974.45 P2e]). Place of birth is suggested by the family's residence in Ipswich, 1646-56.
MAR: VITAL RECORDS OF HAVERHILL, 2 vols. (Topsfield, MA, 1911), 2:188 (FHL #974.45/H1 V29h).

CHR: Rattlesden par reg transcript, published in J. R. Olorenshaw, ed, NOTES ON THE CHURCH AND PARISH OF RATTLESDEN (Privately printed, 1900), 259 (FHL #942.64 V26ra). Henry deposed, aged 53, in Sep 1669 (RECORDS AND FILES OF THE QUARTERLY COURST OF ESSEX COUNTY, 9 vols. [Salem, MA, 1911-75], 4:180 [FHL #974.45 P2e]).
MAR #1: No mar rec found. Children of Henry Kimball and wife Mary were born at Watertown, 1641-45 (WATERTOWN RECORDS, 8 vols. [Watertown, MA, 1894-39], 1:3:9,11,12 [FHL #014793]). It has long been thought that Henry Kimball married Mary Wyatt, as the will of John Wyatt of Ipswich, 23 Nov 1665, proved 15 Jan 1665/6, mentions his dau Mary and grandson John "Kemball" (THE PROBATE RECORDS OF ESSEX COUNTY, 3 vols. [Salem, MA, 1916-20], 2:21-22 [FHL #974.45 P2p]). However, it is now understood that the daughters mentioned by John Wyatt were, in fact, his wife's daughters by her previous mar to Edward Riddlesdale. John Wyatt and Mary Riddlesdale were married at Assington, Suffolk, Eng, 27 Jun 1632, long after the chr of Mary on 29 Jan 1621/2 ("Assington Parish Registers, 1598-1812" [transcript, n.d.], 49 [FHL #993216]).

MAR #2: No mar rec found. A wife Elizabeth is identified in his estate recs. In an agreement with Henry's children, Elizabeth discharged them from paying any debts of "her former husband Rayner" (PROBATE RECORDS OF ESSEX COUNTY, 3:75). Before her mar to Rayner, Elizabeth was the wife of Humphrey Gilbert of Ipswich, whose will, 14 Feb 1657/8, proved 30 Mar 1658, mentions wife Elizabeth. On 26 Jun 1666 William Rayner, "husband of Elizabeth, late wife and administratrix of Humfry Gilbert, deceased," was ordered to pay a legacy to Gilbert's dau Hannah (Ibid, 1:264-67).
DEATH: No death rec found. See the adm of estate of Henry Kimball of Ipswich, 30 Apr 1676, inv 16 Apr 1676 and 17 May 1676, agreement of heirs 26 Sep 1676, et al (PROBATE RECORDS OF ESSEX COUNTY, 3:74-76).

Notes:

BIRTH: No birth rec found. Richard was living in Rattlesden, Suffolk in 1615 when son Henry was chr, but Richard was not himself baptized there. Birth year is calculated from age 39 on passenger list of the ship "Elizabeth," from Ipswich to New England, 30 Apr 1634 (John Camden Hotten, THE ORIGINAL LISTS [New York, 1931], 280 [FHL #973 W2hot]). Richard is sometimes identified as a son of Henry Kimball/Kembold of Hitcham, Suffolk, but proof is lacking. Henry Kimball, aged 44, was also a passenger on the "Elizabeth" and was listed next to Richard. Both men settled in Watertown and are believed to be brothers, although proof has not been found. Henry was from Mistley, Essex. They may be the sons of Richard Kimball of Lawford, Essex, wheelwright, whose will, 29 Aug 1619, proved 10 Sep 1619, mentions his eldest son Henry and other children, but names only Henry (Archdeaconry Court of Colchester, orig wills, box 8, #197 [FHL #091259]). Lawford borders Mistley, where Henry resided. And, like Richard Kimball of Lawford, Richard Kimball of Watertown was a wheelwright. Henry was reportedly a wheelright, but this is unconfirmed.
MAR #1: No mar rec found, but Richard is identified as the husband of Ursula Scott in the will of her father, Henry Scott of Rattlesden, Suffolk, 24 Sep 1623, proved 10 Jan 1624/5, Archdeaconry Court of Sudbury, reg wills, 49:117 (FHL #097083).
MAR #2: Hampton, NH Vital Records, 1:546 (FHL #015159). Wife is called Margaret Dow. The wording of Richard Kimball's will, below, shows that she had been previously married with children Thomas, Jeremiah, and Mary, all of whom are mentioned as children of Henry Dow of Hampton in his will, 16 Apr 1659-4 Oct 1659 (PROBATE RECORDS OF THE PROVINCE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE, 9 vols., repr of New Hampshire State Papers Series, vols. 31-39 [Bowie, MD, 1989-90], 1:38-40 [FHL #974.2 P2p]). She is given the maiden name Cole in some published accounts, but no evidence has been found. See David W. Hoyt, THE OLD FAMILIES OF SALISBURY AND AMESBURY, 3 vols. (Providence, 1897-1916; repr in 1 vol., Baltimore, 1982), 223 (FHL #974.45 D2h); also Mary Lovering Holman, ANCESTRY OF CHARLES STINSON PILLSBURY, 2 vols.

CHR: Bradfield St. George par reg (FHL #952208).
