Research Notes / Plymouth Colony, Kingdom of England

Timeline:

Kingdom of England - 1536 to 1707
Kingdom of Great Britain - 1707 to 1800

In 1685, when the division was made of Plymouth Colony, Bristol County had the towns of Taunton, Rehoboth, Dartmouth, Swansea, Bristol, Tiverton, Little Compton, Freetown and the plantations of Cumberland, Gore, and Attleboro.

Plymouth Colony was merged into the Province of Massachusetts Bay in the charter of 1691.

Surname Variations

A large and influential family descended from William Wildebore (1630), who was born in England, and Samuel, his uncle, who was with the original settlers of Aquidneck in 1638. The name is said to have an older form, Wildeboare. The various orthography used by different families has no significance as showing times of descent. Willbour-bore-boor-bur; Wilbour-bur-ber-bor-bar, are some of the modern variations which may be seen in the records and on monuments.
