Jen Larcom Notes: There are records of French Huguenots driven out of France in 1600 spelling the name Lacome, Latcome, Larkham, La Combe or Larcom. Records show that a Larcom left France for the Isle of Wight in 1600, and that a William Latcome sailed to America on the ship Hercules with John Kiddey as Master departing from London on March 24, 1633/34 and Southampton on April 18, 1634, for New England [THE PLANTERS OF THE COMMONWEALTH: 1620-1640 Passengers and Ships, by Charles Edward Banks.]
Records show that a William Latcome (M) was born in 1581, Ruddington, Nottingham, England and died on December 10, 1672 in Reading, Middlesex, Mass. Immigration June 1634 Boston, Suffolk, Massachusetts. Married Lydia Browne, daughter of Abraham Browne and (Mrs.) Lydia Browne about 1648 in Reading, Middlesex, Mass.
Ipswich records give a Mordicai Larcom who appeared in Ipswich, Massachusetts in 1640. Note: This could possibly be a brother or son of William Latcome (Larcom).
And then he was but a simple yeoman, a tiller of the soil; one who must have loved the sea, however, for he moved nearer and nearer towards it from Agawam through Wenham woods, until the close of the seventeenth century found his descendents my own great-great-grandfathers family planted in a romantic homestead-nook on a hillside, overlooking wide gray spaces of the bay at the part of Beverly known as The Farms.
