Notes:

In is often published that this John Joy was a Baptist and moved to Alloway Creek, Salem, NJ when Baptists moved to that area from Massachusetts. It is said that he died in Salem in 1624. However, DNA evidence from all Jays tracing back to New Jersey, do not match descendants of this John Joy's ancestry which goes back through Thomas Joy of Higham, MA, so his supposed move to New Jersey is not supported by fact.

Notes:

John Jay, sometimes mentioned to have died young, is listed in the will of John Gallop, his grandfather, in 1649. He witnessed a deed in 1661 in Hingham, MA. His name in a photstat copy was spelled Jvey or Juey or Ivey, a variation of Joy. His brother's descendants carried the name Joy. John is mentioned on Sept. 30, 1672 in the Boston Record of Boston Commissioners, Vol. IX, p. 123. John was discharged from Capt. Wm. Turner's Co. of Marlboro in King Philip's War. This war took place between 1675-1676. This was a Baptist Company of followers of Turner. He possibly died in a later engagement in that war. (C-172,813, F-579)

The following quote is from the "Joy Genealogy", pg. 50, by Helen Bourne Lee in 1968 as forwarded in an email from Christie Trapp. As the 2nd child of Thomas Joy and Joan Gallop: "b. Boston, Mass 10 Aug 1641, bp Oct 1641 First Ch Boston, prob killed in King Philip's War. named in grandfather John Gallop's will 1649, not in father's will 1677. A John Joy m. Mercy, had son John b Boston 30 Sept 1672. A John Joy/Jay of Mass served with Mass in King Philip's War 1675-76 (History of King Philip's War, George M. Bodge; estate of John Joy of Marblehead Essex Co Prob Recs 1729-30.) "

Notes:

Thomas Joy (Jay) was a carpenter/architect of renown in early Boston. He was a member of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Co. in Massachusetts. (C-172) On Oct. 24, 1635 he emigrated from London, England on the "Constance". He was listed as a carpenter at 25 years. He purchased land in Boston on Feb. 20, 1636 from Robert Turner. He married Joane in 1637. (C-608)

He designed the wood structure that housed the markets, courts, town council and other public bodies at the time. It was three stories tall and completed in 1658. It sadly burned down in 1711. Emerson called it the "pine statehouse" in his "Boston Hymn." (C-174) He was in business with Richard Church in a mill in Hingham, Suffolk Co., MA. (C-813) He is in the court records in 1646 for his arrest and fine in circulating "Dr. Child's Petition". He was kept in irons for about 5 days for being a too "ardent lover of liberty." He is listed along with Thos. Clark, John Gallop, Thos Meekins, Thomas Savage, Isaac Culllimore and others as owning property in Boston, MA in 1647. (C-845a, 978, 1205, 1208)

Not long after, he and his family moved to Hingham, MA. The spelling of his name was listed as Joy in the town records and in a letter by him. His deeds list it as Joy and as Jay in transcriptions. The originals state Joy. (C-813) Farmer in "A Genealogical Register of the First Settlers of New England" lists his sons as Samuel, Thomas, Joseph and Ephraim Joy. (C-920)

In his will he names wife, Joane; sons, Joseph and Ephraim; and daughters, Sarah Denham (Dunning), Elizabeth Beales, and Ruth Joy. Joshua Hobart, Edmond Hobart and Thomas Herris were witnesses. (C-173) He was very wealthy at his demise. He owned a grist mill, and multiple properties. Although once surmised, he is not in any way related to our William Jay, b. bef 1712 of Frederick Co., Virginia via DNA evidence.

Thomas married Joanna GALLOP in 1637. Joanna (daughter of John GALLOP and Crestabel Crabbe BRUSHETT) was born in 1618 in Bridport, Dorsetshire, ENG; died on 20 Mar 1691 in Hingham, Suffolk, Massachusetts Colony. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Robert Bartlett came to the new land in 1623 on the ship "Ann." "The History of the Society of Descendants of Robert Bartlet of Plymouth, MA." states that Robert and his wife, Mary, were married in 1628 instead of the marriage date of 1634, I have placed in this record. A 1628 marriage date allows George Bartlett to be the son of these two people as is often stated in second hand sources. I do not have verification on either marriage date and personally do not believe the he is the son of Robert and Mary as he immigrated from England about 1640 - meaning that he would have been raised by someone else entirely in England until his arrival. (F-532, 579)

Robert and Mary are known to have 2 sons and 8 daughters, with his sons being listed here. (F-579)

Robert married Mary WARREN on 28 Mar 1634 in Plymouth, Plymouth, Massachusetts, USA. Mary (daughter of Richard WARREN and Elizabeth WALKER) was born on 10 Dec 1610 in Shoreditch Hoxton Old, London, England; died on 27 Mar 1683 in Manomet, Plymouth County, Massachusetts, United States of America; was buried in Plymouth, Plymouth County, Massachusetts, United States of America.

Notes:

John sailed from Plymouth, England to Nantascot (which was named Hull in 1646) on Mar. 20, 1630 on the "Mary and John." He lived and was possibly born in Mosterne, Dorset, England before emmigrating to the colonies. (C-806) He arrived with his parents, Thomas Gallop and Frances Paulet and brother, Humphrey Gallop on May 31, 1630. (Varying parents have been given by one other source as John Gallop and an unknown Crabbe.)

John is remembered for "the first naval engagement" presumably of the colonies. (C-813) He held the title of Captain. He was educated at a military school in Holland before emigrating with his family to Massachusetts. (C-682) He is the John Gallop listed as a person owning property in Boston in 1647 in the "Book of Possessions." (C-978)

His will dated 10th month 20th day, 1649, listed the following persons: Christobel (his wife), son John, Dau. Joan Gallop, two youngest sons Samuel and Nathaniel, his daughter's son John Jay. It was signed by his wife Christobel, son John Gallop and Hannah his wife and daughter, Joane Jay. It appears to have been probated on the 24th, 5th mo, 1655. (C-813)

John married Crestabel Crabbe BRUSHETT on 19 Jan 1617 in Bridport, Dorsetshire, ENG. Crestabel (daughter of Edmund BRUSHETT and Emma NICHOLAS) was born in in , , , England; died on 27 Sep 1655 in Boston, Suffolk, MA, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Robert married Alice BARKER before 1603 in , , , England. Alice was born in 1567 in , , , England; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

This is the infamous Mayflower passenger who left many descendants. His ancestry is in controversy and is not known for sure.

Richard married Elizabeth WALKER on 14 Apr 1610 in Great Amwell, Hertford, England. Elizabeth (daughter of Augustine WALKER) was born before 1583 in Baldock, North Hertfordshire District, Hertfordshire, England; died on 2 Oct 1673 in Plymouth Colony, MA; was buried in Plymouth, Plymouth County, Massachusetts, United States of America. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

According to Christie Trapp, she is named in her father, Augustine Walker's will and listed by her married name as Elizabeth Warren. However, in most authoritative research, her surname has not been confirmed. She was definitely named Elizabeth. Elizabeth and their 5 daughters born before 1620 did not travel on the Mayflower but came on the Anne in 1623 to join her husband and their father in Plymouth, Massachusetts.
