Biography
Birth and Origins
John Pabodie was probably born in England between 1585 and 1590.
John's son, Francis, was on the 1635 passenger list for the ship Planter, where the minister's certificate for his oath of allegiance was from St. Albans, Hertfordshire.[1] But there is no assurance that approximately 40 years earlier John was born in the place his son took the oath of allegiance.
Immigration to New England
It is unknown exactly when John or his family immigrated to New England. However, his son, Francis, immigrated to New England on the ship Planter in 1635.[2] A passenger list for the ship dated 2 April 1635 was transcribed by Savage, with the following forward:
- "Theis underwritten names are to be transported to New England, imbarqued in the Planter, Nic. Trarice, master, bound thither. The parties have brought certificate from the minister of
GreatSt. Albans in Hertfordshire, and attestacon from the Justices of Peace according to the Lords' order."
In that list is: ":husbandman Francis Peboddy, 21"
John and his family most likely traveled about the same time as Francis, as John was listed as a freeman in Plymouth Colony in 1637.[3]
He was mentioned as one of the proprietors of Bridgewater in 1645.[4]
Marriage and Children
About 1608 he married. His wife was named either Isabel Harper or Isabel Brittaine in England by 1620.[5] These two profiles might represent the same person. If so, John Pabodie married a widow. At least four children born to the family and were listed in his will of 1649:[6]
- Thomas
- Francis
- William
- Annis (Anice)
The Fales Family of Bristol... claims that John married Isabel Brittaine at Nosely, Leicestershire.[7]
Death and Probate
He died in Duxbury and was buried at the Myles Standish Burial Ground about April 27, 1667.
His will was written 16 Jul 1649. Within the will he mentions his eldest son Thomas, second son Francis and youngest son William, as well as William's son, John. He names his daughter Annis Rouse, her husband John Rouse, and their son John. He mentioned his wife Isabel.[8][9]
Research Notes
Disputed parents and origins
The parents of this person are unknown. There are many family trees that conjecture about the parents, but they do not include sources. For example, a previous version of this profile claimed his parents were John Pabodie and Agnes Unknown, but without evidence supporting the claim, they have been detached.
St. Albans, Hertfordshire and Leicestershire, England have been provided as possible birth locations, but that, like his parents' names, is merely conjecture.
Until there is well-sourced evidence proving who his parents were, or where he was born, the information currently remains unknown.

Or perhaps those are directing to the same source as the NEHGS Vol 3 link at HathiTrust?
edited by Jonathan Crawford
Edit: it looks like I originally missed the second NEHGR vol 6 paywall source, so I added that as a non-paywall HathiTrust source.
Always nice to have fresh eyeballs on the lookout. Thanks for the info!
As an aside, the profile needs additional help as the PGM guidelines state that the biography should have inline citations but this profile only has the "See also" section with no inline source citations.
