The Frank C. Roe book suggests that David was born in England, immigrated to Massachusetts, and then moved to Flushing.:
Hugh Roe may have been the first of his immediate family to emigrate from England to America. The consensus of all references and data secured indicate that he landed at or near Weymouth on the southern shore of the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1642. There were, however, at least three other Roe's; John, David and Anthony, who came from England to Massachusetts at about the same time! John Roe, in fact, may have been the pioneer; as early as 1630, according to two sources, although another estimates it ca 1642. No ship passenger lists or other records have been found covering the arrivals of Hugh, John or David. Anthony Roe is listed in Bank's, 'English Emigrants to New England 1620-1650" from the parish of Meavy in Devonshire; landed in Portsmouth on the ship 'Mary and John". [8]
p. 1.
It is unknown where David Roe and John Roe landed; perhaps within the Plymouth Colony, but the fact is that they moved on promptly; both to Long Island. John, who may have been the earliest and oldest, as previously mentioned, settled in Brookhaven near the eastern end. David was in Flushing, now part of New York City, in the early 1640s. [8] p. 2.
Location was Town of Flushing, Queens County, Province of New York. The date of marriage predates the formation of the United States; at this time, Flushing was just an English settlement. [9]
