Phinney, John

Notes:

BIRTH: "Barnstable, Mass. Vital Records," MAYFLOWER DESCENDANT, 11(1909):131 (FHL #974.4 D25md). The vital records gives John a birth year of 1696. This record was written years after John's birth when all the children in the family were recorded at one time. The chr rec, below, shows that John was bapt on 6 May 1694. He was most likely born on 8 Apr 1694, a month before the bapt. His death rec in Gorham, Maine vital recs also suggests the earlier year, as John's age was given as 86 when he died on 29 Dec 1780 (see death rec below).

John married Rogers, Mary on 10 Aug 1664 in Barnstable,Barnstable,MA. Mary (daughter of Rogers, Joseph and Hannah) was born on 22 Sep 1644 in Duxbury,Plymouth,MA; died after 19 Apr 1718 in Barnstable,Barnstable,MA(?). [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

BIRTH: Nathaniel B. Shurtleff and David Pulsifer, eds, RECORDS OF THE COLONY OF NEW PLYMOUTH, 12 vols. (Boston, 1855-61), 8:13-14 (FHL #974.4 N2n). The entry suggests Joseph's children were born in Sandwich. This is unlikely, as Joseph was a resident of Duxbury from at least 1634 to 1646 (Shurtleff, RECORDS OF THE COLONY OF NEW PLYMOUTH, 1:31, 39, 141; 12:136).

Notes:

BIRTH: No birth rec found. That he is Bernard's son is implied by the arrangement of the Barnstable, Mass. Vital Records (MAYFLOWER DESCENDANT, 11[1909]:96-97 [FHL #974.4 D25md]). The only other Lumbert in the colony old enough to have had this Thomas was Thomas, father of Bernard. But he mentions no son of this name in his will. See the will of Thomas Lumbert of Barnstable, 23 Mar 1662, proved 7 Mar 1664, Plymouth Colony Probate, 2:2:24-26 (FHL #567794). Thomas was almost certainly born before 19 Apr 1635 when Bernard Lumbert joined Rev. John Lothrop's church at Scituate. Otherwise, Thomas would have been chr in Lothrop's church, as were his younger siblings. See "Scituate and Barnstable Church Records," NEHGR, 9(1855):279-282 (FHL #974 B2ne). His birthplace of Dorchester is suggested by the residence of the family there, 1630-1634. Bernard Lumbert was made a freeman of the Massachusetts Colony on 1 Apr 1634 with twelve other men, most of whom were Dorchester men. The rest were from Boston and Roxbury. See Nathaniel B. Shurtleff, ed, RECORDS OF THE GOVERNOR AND COMPANY OF THE MASSACHUSETTS BAY, 5 vols. (Boston, 1853-54), 1:368 (FHL #974.4 n2S). Also see Robert S. Wakefield, "The Lombard Family of Barnstable, Mass.," TAG, 52 (1976):136-39 (FHL #973 D25aga).

Thomas married Derby, Elizabeth on 23 Dec 1665 in Barnstable,Barnstable,MA. Elizabeth (daughter of Derby, John and Alice) was born about 1646 in Yarmouth,Barnstable,MA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

BIRTH: No birth rec found. No documentary evidence has been found that Elizabeth is a dau of John Derby. However, no other Derby family was in the colony into which Elizabeth could fit. Elizabeth married at Barnstable in 1665, during which time John Derby's widow was residing there as the wife of Abraham Blush. Furthermore, Elizabeth's husband is the brother of Jabez Lumbert, who married Sarah, a proven dau of John Derby. Date and place of Elizabeth's birth are approximations. John Derby was in Plymouth about 1637 and was in Yarmouth by 1643, when he appeared on a list of men, aged 16-60, able to bear arms (Nathaniel B. Shurtleff and David Pulsifer, eds, RECORDS OF THE COLONY OF NEW PLYMOUTH, 12 vols. [Boston, 1855-61], 8:194 [FHL #974.4 N2n]). It is likely that his dau Elizabeth was born in Yarmouth.

BIRTH: No birth/chr rec found. Bernard is identified in the will of his father, Thomas Lumbert of Barnstable, 23 Mar 1662/3, proved 7 Mar 1664, Plymouth Colony Probate, 2:2:24-25 (FHL #567794). Bernard deposed, "aged sixty yeares or therabouts," in 1668 concerning the nuncupative will of William Clark, Plymouth Colony Probate, 2:2:50 (FHL #567794).
MAR: No mar rec found. Robert S. Wakefield suggests that Bernard may have married a dau of William Clark of Yarmouth, whom Bernard called "Father Clark" during testimony on 20 Feb 1668/9 concerning William Clark's nuncupative will, above. See Wakefield, "Lombard Family of Barnstable," TAG, 52(1976):139 (FHL #973 D25aga). However, it seems more likely that the term "father" was used only in deference to William's age, as no bequests were made to Bernard, his wife, or children. The entire estate went to Joseph Benjamin.
DEATH: No death rec found. Bernard was living in Barnstable as late as 29 May 1670, when he was proposed as freeman (Nathaniel B. Shurtleff and David Pulsifer, eds, RECORDS OF THE COLONY OF NEW PLYMOUTH, 12 vols. [Boston, 1855-61], 5:227 [FHL #974.4 N2n]).

This document, which appears to be a contemporary transcript of a legal document sent to England, calls John Derby, late of Yarmouth, the son of Christopher Derby of Sturtle [Sterthill], Dorset. Date and place of birth are approximations. John was probably born about 1609, as his brother William is identified as the eldest son of Christopher Derby in a chancery suit, 28 Nov 1678, Henry Bishop v. William Baldwyne, et al, Chancery Proceedings before 1714, Collins 514/106, cited in G. Andrews Moriarty, "Genealogical Research in England," NEHGR, 79(1925):424 (FHL #974 B2ne).
