Ship and Passenger Information:
The Ann(e) and the Little James arrived together in July (10), 1623 - "The Planters".
"The vessels parted company at sea; the Ann arrived the latter part of June,
and the Little James some week or ten days later; part of the number were
the wives and children of persons already in the Colony." - "Hotten's Lists"

*A tradition passed down to a branch of the Joseph Anable (1773-1831) family was that Anthony first came over on the "Fortune" perhaps as a crew member as his name is not mentioned as a passenger. He then returned to England in 1621 on the "Fortune" to get his family. This was checked but could not be authenticated by checking the records of Plymouth Plantation or the passenger and crew lists of the ship. It is possible that, if Anthony Annable did truly make a trip to Plymouth in the "Fortune", prior to his fully documented trip in the "Anne" in 1623, he could have made the earlier voyage in the capacity of a supervisor or clerical representative of the ship's owner, in which case his name would not have appeared on either of the lists consulted. ("Anable Family Record", a privately kept record by a branch of the Joseph Anable (1773-1831).*

Anthony came over on the "Anne" as a "Stranger", leaving from the port of Cambridge, Cambridgehire County,England. He was not part of the religious group that came over earlier on the Mayflower. He is thought to be one of the sons of John Annable of Bury St. Edmunds, Suffolk County, England.

William Annable of Dunstable was the first to use the Annable arms for a seal of a deed dated 1396.

Anthony married Jane Momford on April 26, 1619 in All Saint's Church, Cambridgeshire Parish, England. This record can be found in Cambridgeshire Parish Registers, Marriages at All Saints Church, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire County, England 1539-1837, Vol. 4. p. 9

The Will of Anthony Annable


"Anthony and Jane (Momford) Annable arrived in Plymouth in 1623 with their two daughters, Hannah and Sarah. The couple may have become Separatists while in the colony; they were among the first members of the Scituate church under the Reverend John Lothrop. They were married in Cambridge, Cambridgeshire on April 26, 1619. They had three more daughters. They moved to Scituate in 1633 and Barnstable in 1639. Jane died in Barnstable in 1643. After his wife’s death, Anthony remarried to Ann Elcock or Clark in March of the next year. They had three children and he died in 1674."source: The Annable House http://www.plimoth.org/Museum/Pilgrim_Village/annable.htm

Anthony married Clark Anne about 03 Mar 1644 in Barnstable, Barnstable County, MA. Anne was born in 1608 in England; died about 14 Mar 1651 in Barnstable, Barnstable County, MA; was buried on 16 Mar 1651. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Married:
3 Mar 1644/1645

Notes:

Mr. Thomas Allyn was one of the first settlers in Barnstable. We do not know the date of his coming to New England, but he speaks, in Mar. 1654, of a visit that he made to England in 1649 on business of his own and as the agent of 'divers friends' as 'at my last being in Ould England.'

His name was proposed as a freeman of Plymouth Colony,1 Mar.1641/42, but he was not admitted as such until 1652. In 1644, 1651 and 1658, he was Surveyor of Highways; in 1648, 1658 and 1670 Constable; in 1653 Juryman.

"Mr. Allyn was one of the wealthiest of the early settlers of Barnstable. His house lots were in the central part of the village as it was first laid out. The records of the laying out of land in Barnstable are all lost, and the records of Mr. Allyn furnish the best information that we have. In 1654 Mr. Allyn owned six of the original house lots, containing from six to twelve acres each, laid out on the north side of the highway, west of Rendez-vous Lane, and the part of this land was still, in 1936, owned by his descendants.
He also owned meadowland at Sandy Neck and in 1647, he owned the land on the north of the Hallett Farm, adjoining the bounds of Yarmouth. Besides these he had rights in the common land and other large tracts"

Thomas married Crawford Winnefred. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Winifred's maiden name is unknown. She was first married to an unknown, Mr. Crawford and by inference of the Probate records ,(MBCR1:132) they lived in Watertown. He was drowned in the Charles River, along with his brother and a servant. A small boat, they overloaded with goods and hogshead, upset and dumped all into the river. This was recorded by Rev. Winthrop to have occurred on 12 Aug. 1634. ( WJ 1:165) The widow Crawford married twice more after this incident; John Woolcott and Thomas Allyn of Barnstable.
