Kenelm Winslow, Jr. (Kenelm, Ellenor)
was born circa 1635 HO14, AN5, CU13 in Plymouth, Massachusetts. On October 3, 1662, he was charged at
court for riding his horse on a Sunday: “Kanelme
Winslow, Junir, for riding a journey on the Lords day, although hee pleaded some disappointment inforcing
him thervnto, is fined ten shillings” SH12. He probably did not remunerate that fine
in a timely fashion, for on June 5, 1663, he still owed ten shillings to the
Plymouth Colony treasurer SH16. In
fact, “Kanelme Winslow, Junior” owed precisely ten
shillings in lists of “debtes due by fines and
otherwise to the countrey” in the years 1665, 1666,
and 1667 SH13. Whether he was fined repeatedly every
year, or he simply chose not to pay the original fine, was unspecified.
He
married Mercy Worden on September 23, 1667 HO14, SI4, or by 1668 AN5. Kenelm
Winslow moved to Cape Cod and settled in Yarmouth (now Brewster), Massachusetts
as early as 1668 HO14,
RO6, CU13. The “Records
of the Second Church of Scituate, Now the First Unitarian Church of Norwell,
Mass.” indicated that on August 9, 1668, his son, also named Kenelm, was
baptized; at this time he was said to have been from Yarmouth RO6. His homestead was at Satucket
(Winslow’s Mills) HO14, and
he was recorded in a list of freemen of Yarmouth on May 29, 1670 SH13. The History of Cape Cod: The Annals
of The Thirteen Towns of Barnstable County, Volume II, by Frederick
Freeman, stated that on April 29, 1676, a rate “towards the charge of the late
war” listed the tax-paying residents of Yarmouth, Massachusetts and their net
worth; among the names appeared “Kenel. Winslow” FR12.
He
was a sworn member of the Grand Inquest (Grand Jury) for Plymouth Colony on
June 7, 1676 SH13. In 1679, Kenelm, along with Joseph and
Barnabas Lothrop, William Clarke, and others, were agents who purchased over
seventy square miles of land in Sippican LE2, RO9, which is now Rochester, Massachusetts.
His name, “Canelm Winslow” was third in the list of
thirty-two individuals RO9 who
received land which was divided into thirty-two lots; each consisted of twenty
acres for a house lot and another forty acres of woodland LE2. Kenelm ended up with a lot in Sippican, along with fifteen other families, and the
remaining sixteen lots were located at Mattapoisett LE2. On April 15, 1680, when the purchasers
cast lots for house lots at the residence of Joseph Bung in Sandwich, “Kenelmme” Winslow drew the house twelfth lot in “Scippican” and the fifth lot in the common field, which in
July 1694 was called Cramesett Neck RO9. On an unknown date, he drew the
thirtieth lot in the sea division and the tenth lot in the woods division RO9. Kenelm also owned land in Mattapoisett
and near Leonard’s Pond LE2.
Kenelm
and several others were represented in the Court of his Majesty on July 6, 1680
by Mr. Thomas Hinckley, Sr. and Lieutenant Joseph Laythorp
(a variation of the surname Lothrop) against Lieutenant Ephraim Morton SH15. The argument made by the plaintiffs, who
did win the case, stated that SH15:
The purchassers
and sharers of and in the lands of Sepecan and places
adjacent… doe complaine against Lieftenant
Ephraim Morton, of Plymouth, in an action of treaspas
on the case, in a plea of lands, to the damage of two hundred pounds of siluer mony, for that the said
Ephraim Morton, vnder pretence
of being an agent for the towne of Plymouth, did,
with diuers others, on the 12 day of May last past, forcably enter vpon the lands of
the said Sepecan… and hee…
being the chiefe actor and aider of the rest, did,
then and there, on the said lands committ diuers inormities and wronges against the said purchasers… and against the publicke peace, by desturbing
some of the said purchasers and sharers… and more particularly did deface the
bound markes of [Elizabeth Ellis and Joseph Dotey].
Kenelm
was a jury member for three cases at the Court of his Majesty in Plymouth on
March 7, 1681/2 SH15, and he was listed as a freeman of
Yarmouth in June 1689 SH16. On
March 11, 1700, he purchased one thousand acres of land in Windham, Connecticut
for thirty pounds from George Denison of Stonington HO14, SI4. Later that year, on October 7, he gave
that land to Samuel, his son, who in turn sold it to his brother, Kenelm HO14. The bounds of his land in Rochester were
recorded on March 16, 1701/2 and May 28, 1702, and have been transcribed below RO9:
