Alice, daughter of John Lyng & Anna Lyng, was baptised on 29 November 1607 in Horseheath, Cambridgeshire, England.[1][2]
Alice married James Bowtel on 26 January 1631 in Trumpington, Cambridgeshire, England.[3]
Alice Ling (Lyng) was born in 1607 in Trumpington, Cambridgeshire, England, an ancient parish. She grew up in a time when the fields in England that were once held in common were being enclosed by private landowners, and there was armed conflict between the landowners and the farmers. With enclosure, some of the residents no longer had the means to provide for themselves. When both of her parents died in 1631, she was quickly married that same year to James Boutwell, a nearby farmer who undoubtedly shared the same upbringing. The following year, they christened their daughter, Sarah, at the ancient parish. There is no record of Alice after her husband’s death. The assumption is that she remarried and finished her life as an unnamed wife of another man. Once married, a woman had no legal individual identity. Her sons assumed the farm, and continued her legacy.
Alice planted and raised her family in the virgin soil of Reading Massachusetts, and her skills and wisdom built a strong foundation for numerous generations to come. From her adult beginnings as an orphan soon married, to the new land across the sea, she bore our first generation of American citizens. Her descendants include George Sewall Boutwell, whose achievements include Governor of Massachusetts, Secretary of the Treasury under President Grant, appointed the first Commissioner of the Internal Revenue by President Lincoln, Senator, and statesman. He was very involved in the construction and passing of the 14th and 15th amendments of the Constitution. '
