John Whetcomb ★ was born circa 1588 in England WH5, WH7, and his surname has been spelled in various ways, including “Whitcomb” and “Whetcumbe”. Samuel Deane believed that John was originally from Dorchester, Dorset, England, because his surname “was a common name in that vicinity, and… he came with the early settlers of Dorchester, N. England, who were most of them, from Dorsetshire” DE3. Nonetheless, Charles Edward Banks referenced the New England Historic Genealogical Register and claimed that John Whetcomb originally lived in Taunton, Somerset, England BA12.
John may have been the son of John Whetcombe, a mercer of Sherborne, Dorset, whose will dated May 2, 1598 mentioned his wife, Elizabeth, who was also his executrix, and his sons, Robert, John, Joseph, Samuel, Symon, and a daughter named Jane SP3. He left six pounds annually for twenty-one years to his son named John, in addition to land and tenements on Ackerman Street in Shirborne WH5 (Acreman Street in Sherborne), and to Robert, he bequeathed his land and tenements in Trent, Somerset SP3, WH5 and his dwelling house in Sherborne WH5. He left his lease of Beare Mill in Beer Haggat (Beer Hackett) in Dorset to Jane, in addition to one hundred pounds upon her marriage, and he bequeathed his lease of Westcome and Spargrove in Batcombe, Somerset to Symon WH5, SP3. When Symon came of age, he was to inherit eighty pounds WH5. John’s will also mentioned his four nephews, sons of his brother, Thomas Whetcombe, who were named Thomas, Edmond, Christian, and John SP3, WH5. John Whetcomb, the subject of this biography, may have been the son of Thomas or John Whetcombe, or neither at all. Norman K. Whitcomb stated that the parents of John were Thomas and Johannah (Pope) Whetcomb of Taunton WH7.
John Whetcomb married Francis Coggan on November 26, 1623 at St. Mary Magdalene Church in Taunton, Somerset, England PH3. Burton Spears stated that John, along with Frances and six of their children, sailed from Weymouth, Dorset on May 8, 1635 on the ship Hopewell and arrived at Dorchester, Massachusetts SP3. Charlotte Whitcomb proposed that he may have traveled on the Arbella WH5, which was part of the Winthrop Fleet BA11, while Norman K. Whitcomb believed that the Whitcombs likely were passengers on either the Hopewell or the Arbella WH7. Not only was the Whetcomb/Whitcomb family not mentioned in The Planters of the Commonwealth, a book which listed the passengers to the Massachusetts area from 1620 until 1640, written by Charles Edward Banks, but John and his family have not yet been discovered on any passenger list.
John became a member of the church in Dorchester, Massachusetts in 1635 WH5, NO9 or shortly after July 1636 WH7; at this time, Reverend Richard Mather was the minister at the First Church of Dorchester WH7. John was granted twelve acres of land on the east side of Dorchester, on Squantum Neck, on July 5, 1636 WH7, this is probably the peninsula which reaches into Quincy Bay, and is bounded by Neponset River on its western shore. On March 3, 1639/40, a servant boy named Roger Glasse was removed from his master’s employ and placed with “John Whetcombe, of Scituate”, probably because his employer, John Crocker, beat him severely SH9. This boy was John’s nephew, the son of his sister-in-law, Mary (Coggan) Glass SP3. The court record stated, “John Crocker… is proued to haue corrected his servant boy… in a most extreame & barbarous manner” SH9. The boy was to serve John for the remainder of his pledged time, a bit over six years, and John Whetcomb was to pay John Crocker three pounds, but to deduct five shillings for his charges SH9.
In 1640, John owned 108 acres on the Marshfield side of the mouth of the North River DE3, WH5. The North River lies just south of Scituate and is about five miles north of the town of Marshfield. On or before April 13, 1640, John purchased property in Scituate from Christopher Winter, a planter from that town, for the sum of forty-five pounds sterling PU3. This property included a house, four acres of upland, three acres of marshland, another lot of about twenty acres of upland located on “the third Cliffe in Scituate” between the parcels of William Gilson and Humphrey Turner, and lastly another marshy lot of approximately nine acres, all of which were in Scituate PU3.
Humphrey Turner was a member of the jury which ruled in favor of John Whetcomb, the plaintiff in an action of trespass upon the case, against John Stow on June 2, 1640 SH16. John Whetcomb stated that the damages were thirty pounds, and the jury awarded him “v dam[ages] & charges of the suite. Execucon [probably “execution”] made for 14s 6d [fourteen shillings and six pence]” SH16. In 1643, John was listed among all other men in Scituate who were able to bear arms, and who were older than sixteen but younger than sixty RO6, SH16, and he took the oath of fidelity on January 15, 1643/4 WH7. John, along with James Cudworth, were two of the twenty-six Conihasset Partners who purchased land which had been divided into thirty portions from Timothy Hatherly in 1646 WH5, PU3. That contract was recorded in the record books for Plymouth Colony on February 6, 1648, and the land in question was located on the northwest side of “Seteaat brooke” and was bounded on the northern edge by “a little neck of land formerly Called and knowne by the Indians or natiues by the name of Conahaset allies Cohaset and is neare a great fall of water” PU3. Seteaat Brook is now called Satuit Book, and the “little neck of land” is east of Quincy WH7 and juts northward into Massachusetts Bay and is part of the land structure which forms the Cohasset Harbor. The Conihasset Grant was positioned south of this peninsula, but north of Satuit Brook, which is a span of roughly three miles.
In 1649, he sold his farm located on the North River to Thomas Hickes WH5, DE3; this sale occurred on July 4, 1649, and Thomas Hickes paid six pounds WH7 for 108 acres WH5, WH7, eight of which was marshland WH7. As John “Whetcom”, his name was on a list with other men who were “propounded to take vp theire Freedom” on June 5, 1651 at the General Court of Election at New Plymouth SH10, and one year later on the following June 3, as John “Wetcome”, he was admitted and sworn as a freeman at that court SH11, WH5. That same day, as John “Whetcom”, he and William Parker were elected as constables for Scituate SH11. The next day, he was a jury member in the General Court of New Plymouth for two trials which occurred on June 4, 1652 SH15. Both John Whitcomb, Sr. and John Whitcomb, Jr. subscribed to “the Lawes and orders ffirst Enacted and made by those Appoynted and Impowered by the Genrall Court as it is found in the old book” for Lancaster, Massachusetts on November 20, 1652 NO9. He signed a petition to incorporate Nashaway Plantation into the town which became known as Lancaster NO9, WH7; positioned between two branches of the Nashua River, Lancaster is about sixty miles northwest of the Conihasset Grant. He was at the General Court of New Plymouth on October 4, 1653 as a defendant against Ephraim Kemton: “Ephraim Kemton complaineth against John Whetcome, in an action of the case, to the dammage of thirty shillings, for non paiment of money, as appeers vpon bill” SH15. John lost this case, as the jury found for the plaintiff “the bill and the charges of the Court” SH15.
John resided in Lancaster, Massachusetts in 1654 DE3, SP3, WH5, WH7. Land was distributed to men in 1652 in equal sized portions WH7, but in 1654 based on an appraisal of their existing wealth, which included a valuation of ten pounds per family member, in addition to the value of their possessions WH7, WH5. John was apportioned nine and a half acres of meadowland, because four acres of meadowland was given for every one hundred pounds of estate, and his estate was appraised at 241 pounds NO9, WH7. John’s house lot of twenty acres was situated on the west side of the neck and was north of the lot owned by Robert Brick (Breck or Brecke), and south of the lot of his son, John Whetcomb, Jr. NO9, WH5. It was just east of a highway WH5. His “entervail” (a variant of the word “intervale”, which meant a low-lying tract of land, especially near a river) parcel was approximately fifteen and a half acres and was east of the north branch of the Nashua River, which was also called the North River, but west of his upland house lot NO9, WH5. He also shared a nine-acre parcel of entervail at “Quasaponikin” (Ponikin or Ponakin) with John Whetcomb, Jr. NO9, WH5. On March 25, 1654/5 WH7, he divided his Conihasset land in half and granted the two portions to his son, Robert, and a man named John Williams, Jr. DE3, WH5, WH7.
John wrote a promissory note to his neighbor, Steven Gates, on April 2, 1658, in response to Steven’s claim that three of his swine were killed by John’s sons MI29:
John Whettcombe for and in consideration of three swine Killed and spoiled by his three sonnes doth hereby promise to pay unto steven Gates the sume of forty five shill in wheate wthin a week after michael tyde next 1658. to be paid at his house in Sudbury the s[ai]d steven alloweinge for the carriage of the wheate tenn shill 6d.
Dat[e] Apr 2 · 1658
28: 10 mo 58: Jno: Whetcom owned this bill in Court to be his act:
He did not pay Steven Gates the promised sum of forty-five shillings, and the court ordered the Constable of Lancaster to obtain the debt or a bond for the debt from John Whetcombe, Sr. and to deliver it to court on December 28, 1658 MI29:
To the Cunstable of Lancaster
You are her by [hereby] required to atach the goods and for want their of [thereof] the Body of John Whetcombe Sen[ior] and take bond of him with sufisiant [sufficient] surtie or surties to the value of fower pounds tenn shillings to answer the Complaint of Steeven Gats Sen[ior] of Sudburie att the next County Court holden att Charlestown the 28th of the tenth mon. 1658 for with holding a debt of [the previous two words have been partially rubbed away, but it likely states “debt of”] fourty five shillings: due to him by abill under his hand And herin faile not at your p[er]ill dated the 3th: [this number is questionable and may state 9th] of the Eight mon 1658
By the Court Ralph Houghton
At that time, the constable of Lancaster was John Tinker MI28. John Whetcome, Sr. and Ralph Houghton of Lancaster signed a bond dated October 11, 1658 (“11th: 8 mo 1658”) for four pounds and ten shillings sterling to guarantee that they would appear at the next County Court held at Charlestown MI28. On December 28, 1658 at the Charlestown County Court in Massachusetts, the court returned a verdict in favor of Steven Gates MA54:
Steven Gates pt. agst. Jno. Whetcombe defft. For with holding a debt of 45°. due by bill. upon attachmt. dat. 9 8th mo 1658. both p[ar]tyes appeared in Court, & joined issue in the case the Jury having heard, Examined, & considered the witnesses prsented by both p[ar]tyes, wch are on file with the records of this Court, brought in their verdict, finding for the pl. damages forty two shill, & six pence and costs of Court two pound, and eleven pence.
It is unclear why the court decided to order John to pay forty-two shillings, rather than forty-five shillings, but notice that the court stated that in addition, John Whetcombe was ordered to pay costs of two pounds and eleven pence. This was likely because Steven Gates provided an itemized list of charges which altogether amounted to just over two pounds MI28:
The perticullar charges of Steeven Gats Senior of Sudbury in and about the present Case depending between the said Steeven Gats and John Witcom Senior of Lancaster for disapointment of my business in cominge from lancaster to Sudbury to provid the sayd forty five shillings it being to pay my rent also the damage received in hay in the meane time and losse of busines… for an attachment serving and making… for going from Sudbury to lancaster to serve ye attachmnt… for returning from lancaster to Sudbury… for a days atending John wittcom to make a peasable end at home… for my self and two witnesses foure dayes [the previoys two words were faded and uncertain]… for outcome of ye action
On that same date as the case and the verdict, John wrote a petition to the Charlestown County Court to have the fee waived, on the basis that Mr. Gates defamed John’s family MI28, NO9. His petition was transcribed in its entirety by Henry Nourse NO9, but the actual petition has become separated from its second page, which contains the last half of the last sentence, as well as John Whetcombe’s signature MI28. The petition is located with several dozen other (mostly) unrelated documents, many of which are just small scraps of parchment, with Folio 16 of the Colonial County Court Papers MI28. That second page was not located amongst the documents of Folio 16. There are subtle and probably inconsequential differences between the transcription done by Henry Nourse and my transcription, but whenever possible, I find it is always better to examine the source document. Therefore, I have provided a transcription of the source document as it currently exists as an image amongst other documents with Folio 16, and I have used Henry Nourse’s transcription of the last half of the last sentence, which is the missing portion. I will italicize Henry Nourse’s transcription to differentiate between the two transcriptions. The transcription states MI29, NO9:

John Whetcombe
John died intestate at the age of seventy-four on September 24, 1662 NO19, NO9, FA2, WH5, SH3 in Lancaster, Massachusetts SP3, SH3. After John’s death, Thomas Wyelder and Jacob Farrer estimated the value of his land, goods, and chattel on October 2, 1662, which included a house, orchard, and “broake up land”, a parcel of twenty-four acres, another two acres of intervale land, the house lot, which was thirty-six acres, a meadow of twelve acres, a parcel of land which was three hundred acres, “Corn on right in the towne”, two oxen, one old cow, “more in Cattell”, corn, tobacco, flax, a pair of cart wheels, a plow, swine, axes, arms, bedstead, bedding, apparel, and tools made of pewter, brass, and iron WH5. The value of all of these items totaled over 193 pounds WH5. John and Frances were said to have been buried in the Old Settlers Burial Ground WH7, east of Route 70 and west of both the North Nashua River and Center Road, secreted in a wooded area.
Frances Cogan ★ (Henry, Joane) was called “Fraunces”, the daughter of “Henry Coggen” in her baptismal record dated February 24, 1604 at St. Mary Magdalene in Taunton, Somerset, England SO1. Other sources indicate that she was baptized on February 24, 1605/6 at the Church of St. Mary Magdalene in Taunton, Somerset, England SP3, MC2, SH3. Frances Cogan was named as Henry’s daughter in his 1612 will (“Item I give and bequeath unto ffrances [possibly “ffraunes”] Cogan my daughter the somme of tenne pounde of Currannte English money to be paide unto her in one moneth nexte after her marriage by my saide executrix”) WI15. She married John Whetcomb in 1623 in Taunton, Somerset SP3, PH3. She was the mother of Catherine, John, Jonathan, Robert, Joanne, Job, Josiah, Abigail, and Mary SP3, WH5, MC2, SH3.
Catherine Whitcomb was named the “Eldest daughter Katherin” in the will of her mother, “Francis Whetcombe”, which was dated May 12, 1671 MA25. Catern Whitcombe married Rodulphus Elmes on December 25, 1644 in Scituate, Plymouth County, Massachusetts VI38. On April 10, 1635, Rodolphus Elmes, aged fifteen, embarked on the Planter, bound for New England, whose captain was Master Nicholas Trarice HO16. He was amongst the last groups to embark, and he was a passenger along with Judith Phippen, who was sixteen HO16. Rodulphus Elms or Elmes was the father of nine children whose births were recorded in Scituate, Plymouth County, Massachusetts VI37. These were Sarah, born on September 29, 1645, Mary, born on June 9, 1648, Joanna, born on March 28, 1651, Hannah, born on December 25, 1653, John, born on July 6, 1655, Joseph, born on March 16 or 26, 1658, Waitestill, born on February 9, 1660, Jonathan, born on September 27, 1663, and Rodulphus, born on May 27, 1668 VI37.
John Whetcombe, the son of John Whetcombe, was baptized on August 6, 1626 in St. James Parish in Taunton, Somerset, England SO1. According to the Lancaster records edited by Henry S. Nourse, John Whetcombe married Mary on May 19, 1669 in Lancaster, Middlesex County (now Worcester County), Massachusetts; another marriage record stated that “Jno. Whetcomb & Mary his wife” were married on March 16, 1670/1 NO19. It is possible that his first wife named Mary died between 1669 and 1671. John and Mary Whetcomb were the parents of Ruth, born on June 27, 1672 in Lancaster NO19. John Whitcomb died by drowning in the Nashua River on April 6, 1683 NO19.

Jonathan Whetcombe, the son of John Whetcombe, was baptized on September 14, 1628 in St. James Parish in Taunton, Somerset, England SO1. Jonathan Whitcombe married Hannah on November 25, 1667 in Lancaster, Middlesex County (now Worcester County), Massachusetts NO19. Jonathan and Hannah Whetcomb (or Whetcombe or Whitcomb) were the parents of five children whose births were recorded in Lancaster, Middlesex County, Massachusetts NO19. These were Hannah, who was born on September 17, 1668 and died on December 9, 1668, Jonathan, born on February 26, 1669, Hannah, born on August 29, 1671, Abigal, born on May 5, 1674, and John, born on May 12, 1684 NO19. An inventory of the estate of Jonathan Whitcomb was dated February 25, 1691 NO19. Hannah Whitcomb was called the widow of Jonathan when she was killed in a massacre on July 18, 1692 in Lancaster NO19.
Robert Whitcomb was baptized on December 20, 1629 in St. James Parish in Taunton, Somerset, England (“Robet, sonne of John Whitcombe”) SO1.
Joanne Whitcomb was called “Joane the Daughter of John & ffrances Whetcomb” in her baptismal record dated May 18, 1634 in St. James Parish, Taunton, Somerset, England SO1.
Job Whitcomb was born about 1636, perhaps in Dorchester, Massachusetts SH3, WH7. Job and Mary Whetcomb were the parents of Mary, born on December 27, 1671 in Lancaster, Middlesex County (now Worcester County), Massachusetts NO19. Job Whitcombe wrote his will on October 27, 1680 and died on November 8, 1683 in Wethersfield, Hartford County, Connecticut leaving four children, who were Mary, age twelve, Job, age nine, Jemima, age six, and John, age four MA43. His will named his wife, Mary, each of his four children, and his “brethren Jonathan & Josiah” whom he appointed as overseers to his will MA43.
Josiah Whetcombe married Rebeccah Waters on January 4, 1664 in Lancaster, Middlesex County, Massachusetts NO19. Josiah and Rebeccah (or Rebekkah) Whetcombe were the parents of eight children whose births were recorded in Lancaster, Middlesex County, Massachusetts NO19. These were Josiah, born on November 12, 1665 and died the same day, Josiah, born on January 7, 1666, David, born on February 20, 1668, Rebecca, born on November 12, 1671, Johannah, born on March 8, 1673/4, Hezekiah, born on September 14, 1682, Deborah, born on December 26, 1683, and Abigail, born on March 13, 1687/8 NO19. The headstone of “Iosiah Whetcomb, Sen.”, located at the Old Common Burial Ground in Lancaster, Middlesex County (now Worcester County), Massachusetts, has an inscription which states that he died at age eighty and a footstone which states that he died on March 21, 1718; photos of the headstone and footstone can be viewed on the Find a Grave website.
Abigail Whitcomb was called “Abigall” in the will of her mother, “Francis Whetcombe”, which was dated May 12, 1671 MA25.
Mary Whitcomb was named the youngest daughter in her mother’s will, dated May 12, 1671 MA25. She may have been the Mary Whitcomb of Lancaster who married John Moor of Lancaster on August 23, 1683 in Lancaster, Middlesex County (now Worcester County), Massachusetts NO19. John Moore’s widow, Mary, died sometime after his death in 1702 but before the division of his real estate on April 25, 1713 AM1. She was probably the individual named Mary Moore who died on September 26, 1705, according to the inscription on her gravestone, located in the Old Burial Field in Lancaster, Middlesex County (now Worcester County), Massachusetts NO19.
Because her husband died without a will, Frances and her children created a legal document to divide John’s estate, which was filed in the Middlesex court records TH16. It was agreed that Frances should receive many various items, including the “dwellinge house and one halfe of the orchard”, among an assortment of other plots of land, “all the Cattel (Excepting two hogs thre [sic] pigs and one Cow)”, all the flax, and half of the corn WH5, SH3. The document does not mention Robert, but this is probably because Robert had already received an inheritance from his father WH5.
Frances created her will, witnessed by John Roper, Ralph Houghton, and Roger Summer, on “12th 3 mo. 1671”, or May 12, 1671 MA25, and she died on May 17, 1671 in Lancaster (now in Worcester County), Massachusetts NO19, NO9, WH5, SP3, SH3. Norman K. Whitcomb stated that she died on March 17, 1670/1 WH7. At this time, the new year did not begin until Lady Day, or March 25. The Gregorian calendar was finally adopted in 1752 in England and the British colonies, at which time the new year commenced on January 1, but in 1671, the third month would have been May. A transcription of her will follows MA25:
Theis presents witnesseth the last will and testament of me Francis Whetcombe, of Lancaster being sick and full of paine but of a good and sound memory doe hereby comit and comend my soul to almighty god that gave it to me, and my bodie to the comon burying place here in Lancaster and after my bodie being orderly and decently buired, and the charge thereof defrayed together with my other debts discharged out of those outward blessings which the Lord in his mercy hath betrusted me with I do hereby will the remainder of the said estate to be disposed of as followeth; That is to say my Eldest daughter Katherin and my five sons every of them one shilling, if it be demanded, and my daughter Abigall my greatest brass pott, and the rest of my estate to be to my youngest daughter Mary and do hereby appoynt her my sole executrix to see his my last will truly and faithfully performed.
