• Not so unusual to Genealogical matters obscured by time and situation is here also an important item I do want to acknowledge while simultaneously stating with deference my decision not to engage the matter at this point, but committing myself to providing an opinion that will allow the formative relationships to stand as here chronicled, or be the premise for significant alteration to the said. It is precisely because of opposing conclusions that seeming propose a kind of 'equal but opposite' state of contested Ancestral claim.... on one side: few but notably published Researchers Findings, and on the other Family Traditions. While I admittedly have shown bias in terms of how in past similar circumstances I have found myself, I am likewise mindful of the time required to approach a reasoned resolve and thus, the deference" as acknowledged.
• Normally I'd refrain from drawing attention to an as-of-yet unresolved problem underlying a principal citation of identity proper, or to Familial association ie, Parent/Child, and Sibling. But here, that limited and conditional exemption from scrutiny is not allowable, because of the tricky formulation operative here which acknowledges the uncomfortable coexistence of the two only tentatively. The Genealogical Source aforementioned is unquestioned for its contribution and elsewhere attested to standard for Researcher baselines. But there is one conclusion drawn by Bromley that has to be suspended for the moment. That is her opinion per to the biological [Familial] sibling relationship between:

THOMAS DERBY/DABY and

CORNET JOSEPH DERBY/DABY

• And of course of equal relevance and consequence will be an ultimate determination or refrain from such as concerns identification of parentage. At the present moment....I find that matter every bit as contentious and in some cases, even more so! But it is of merit and I find worthy to point out from the onset that Bromley's work makes her fundamental premise known....and that is the research, while obligated by disciplinary process to acknowledge both the contemporaneous and proximate considerations of both men....her emphasis and intentional effort becomes the cited body as shown, precisely where departure from further mention is Joseph Darby/Daby, and the focus upon Thomas Derby/ and his descendants. Presently, from the vantage of the pertinent FamilySearch Profiles, the seemingly unresolvable conflict appears resolved by introduction of a second wife for JOHN DABY. The outcome of course being one son born to the first, and second to the later wife. Finding a document to support this will be....a task.

DERBY, DABY, DAWBY & DARBY Families

PUBLISHERS NOTE

This volume makes no attempt to trace all the DABY’s, DARBY’s, and .

DERBY’s in America. It is limited to the descendants of THOMAS DERBY, of Stow, Massachusetts. (Text emphasis, mine:jlph)

The genealogy of another Derby stock has been compiled by Professor

Samuel C. Derby, of Columbus, Ohio, but has never been printed. His :manuscript, we believe, has been deposited in the Boston Public Library, :where it may, no doubt, be consulted by those who do not find their :names :or those of their ancestors in the present volume.

But there were still other DERBY’s established in America at an early date, some of whom are referred to in the Introduction, which, however, makes no attempt to be exhaustive.

The arrangement adopted in this book is simple. An individual number is given to every descendant of THOMAS DERBY mentioned in the book, the treatment of persons who died unmarried or in infancy not differing in this respect from that of heads of families whose descendants are traced further.

This is logical and scientific, permitting further references to any persons mentioned in the work by these numbers. It permits future critics simply to say, for example, that "55, Derby Genealogy, unaccounted for; married and died at such and such a time, and had this and that child," or that "100, Derby Genealogy, did not die young, as has been supposed."

Page 9

INTRODUCTION

The antecedents in England of THOMAS DERBY, of Stow, Massachusetts, have never been ascertained. An ancient Lincolnshire Family of DARBY or DERBY bore arms, argent, a chevron between three garbs, sable.

The first notice of the Darby family which we have met with, says Thompson, in his History and Antiquities of Boston, England, is in a pedigree of the Tamworth family, where it is stated that Nicholas Tamworth, of Tamworth, married Jane, the daughter of Darby, of Leverton. :This was about the year 1200.

Ralph de Darby, of Bennington, occurs in 1346, Thomas in 1346 and 1353, and Robert in 1357. Roger Darby, of Leverton married: ELIZABETH, :daughter of Thomas Strange. Their son Ralph married Alice, daughter of John Read, of Wrangle.

This Ralph Darby is mentioned by Dugdale as residing at Leake in 1517. His son, Thomas Darby, of Bennington, is mentioned in 1536, 1539, 1540 and 1544. Alicia, or Alice, his wife, daughter of John Langton, is mentioned in 1547.

William, son of Thomas and Alice, was alive in 1571. His son, William Darby, was living about 1620. We find mention of Thomas Darby, of Leake, in 1597, 1602 and 1642. He died in 1659.

A Thomas Darby, of Leverton, occurs also in 1642. There are several memorials of the Darby and Gilbert families in the floor of the chancel of the church at Leake.

At a short distance from the Moat House is a large ancient building called Darby Hall, which was the residence of the family of that name who were considerable proprietors in this and the adjourning parishes for several Centuries, and allied by marriage to the Dymocke Family.

Darby Hall is partly in Leake and partly in Leverton. It is now the property of the heirs of Oldfield. We do not know whether the chief branch of the :Derby or Darby Family resided at Bennington or at the house above :mentioned, standing partly in Leake. Ralph Darby resided in Leake in 1517,

William Derby in 1571, and THOMAS DERBY in 1797.

Page 10

DERBY GENEALOGY

Another THOMAS DERBY died at Leake in 1659. Dymoke Darby died at Leake in 1701.

So for THOMAS....

Some DARBY’s or DERBY’s settled in New England at an early date. :The Company of New England, says J.B. FELT in his Annals of Salem (1845, page 110; and vol. ii., 1849, page 526), consisting of many :worthy gentlemen in the City of London, Dorchester, and other places, aiming at the glory of God, the propagation of the Gospel of Christ, the conversion of the Indians, and the enlargement of the King’s Dominions in America, and being authorized by His Royal letters patent for that end, at their very great costs and charges, furnished five ships to go to New England for the further settling of the English plantation that they had already begun there.

To human perception, all was dark concerning the political career of this commonwealth when WILLIAM DARBY, of Dorchester, England, petitioned the Council for New England, February 18, 1623, that Richard Bushrode, of the same town, and his associates might begin a plantation at Cape Ann, which led :to the settlement of Naumkeag, now Salem.

The original manuscripts of T. L. Winthrop, given in the Collections of the :American Antiquarian Society, vol. iii., exxxv., under the

"Origin of the Company of Massachusetts Bay that came with Winthrop,"

contain the "Representatives to General Court in England, held at Deputyse

House," October 12, 1629, as follows:

JOHN ENDICOTT

WILLIAM DARBY

THOMAS ANDREWS

JOHN SMITH

GEORGE PHILLIPS

SIMON WHITCOMB

JOHN SMITH

JOHN DAVENPORT

The will of Roger Harlakenden, County of Essex, England, names as one to settle his estate, HENRYE DARBY, "now of Newton, in the Massachusetts Bay of America."

Savage refers to John Derby, of Plymouth, Massachusetts in 1637, son of Christopher, from the west part of Dorsetshire, England. He removed to Yarmouth before 1643, when JOHN DERBE, Yarmouth, appears among those able to bear arms, and was dead in February, 1652

Page 11

INTRODUCTION

The inventory of his estate is dated February 22, 1656. He had a son, born the last day of February, 1648, whose name is lost from the record, and a son, MATTHEW, born February 8, 1650. Matthew was subsequently of Barnstable, and, according to the statement of one Joseph Lumbert, made to one Simon Bringley in the street, in July, 1671, MATTHEW DARBY, of Barnstable, was to receive all of the property of one John Turner if the latter failed to return from sea.

SARAH DARBY, of Barnstable, who married Jabez Lombard, December 1, 1660, was probably a sister of MATTHEW.

RICHARD DERBY, of Plymouth, 1637, called "gentleman," was a brother of JOHN, of Plymouth, 1637, and thus another son of CHRISTOPHER.

RICHARD DERBY, sold twenty acres of land to Edward Doty in September, 1639. (Plymouth Colony Records, vol. xii., page 38). This Christopher and his son John were undoubtedly referred to in the will of "John Chipman, now of Barnstable, in the Government of New Plymouth in New England in America, being ye only son and heir of Mr. Thomas Chipman, late deceased at Brinspittle, about five miles from Dorchester in Dorsetshire in England," in which :document he refers to

"his kinsman Mr. Christopher Derby" and the latter’s "son, John Derbe."

These DERBEY’s are probably to be identified with the Family of that name, of Asherswell, now called Stirthill, in Dorsetshire, England, mentioned in Hutchin's History of Dorsetshire, as the Derbys of Asherswell, lessees of property which was once a manor and hamlet. A Christopher Derby was buried at Asherswell in 1603, while Thomas Derby, son of another Christopher, was baptized at Stirthill, or Asherswell, in 1616.

Reference is also found to Christopher Derby, gentleman, of Dorchester, in Dorsetshire, England, who flourished at a period which would suit the identification of him with the Christopher, father of John and Richard, of Plymouth, Massachusetts.

AGNES DERBY, relict of AUGUSTINE DERBY, of Bisley, in the County of Surrey, England, made a nuncupative will May 20, 1650, proved June 1, 1650, in which she bequeathed a sum in trust to Henry Collier, of Horsabell, yeoman,

"He to pay Edward Derby, in New England, ten pounds when he shall come and demand the same."

Page 12

DERBY GENEALOGY

This EDWARD DERBY was of Braintree, Massachusetts, and may be identical with the Edward Darby who, according to the Boston Records, was married to Susanna Hook, January 25, 1659, by Richard Bellingham, Deputy Governor.

The latter settled in Weymouth, Massachusetts, where, according to the Weymouth Records, he had a daughter Mary, born December 29, 1660, and Priscilla, born June 20, 1672.

Probably he was the father of EDWARD DERBY who married first, Weymouth, about 1687, Ruth, daughter of Simon Whitmarsh, by whom he had a son, EDWARD S. DERBY, born in Weymouth, May 18, 1688; and he married, secondly, in 1705, Rebecca (Sumner) Hobart, of Hingham, Massachusetts, who was born at Lancaster, the daughter of Roger and Mary Josselyn Sumner, of Milton.

DERBY GENEALOGY

This Edward Derby was of Braintree, Massachusetts, and may be identical with the Edward Darby who, according to the Boston Records, was married to Susanna Hook, January 25, 1659, by Bichard Bellingham, Deputy Governor. The latter settled in Weymouth, Massachusetts, where, according to the Weymouth Records, he had a daughter Mary, born December 29, 1660, and Priscilla, born June 20, 1672.

Probably he was the father of Edward Derby who married first, in Weymouth, about 1687, Ruth, daughter of Simon Whitmarsh, by whom he had a son, Edward S. Derby, born in Weymouth, May 18, 1688; and who married, secondly, in 1705, Rebecca (Sumner) Hobart, of Hingham, Massachusetts, who was born at Lancaster, the daughter of Roger and Mary Josselyn Sumner, of Milton.

JOSEPH and THOMAS DABY, DARBY, or DERBY, who removed from Concord to Stow, are supposed to have been brothers, but documentary proof of such a relationship has not been found.

Nor is it known whether they or either of them belong to the DERBY FAMILY of Plymouth, that of Braintree, or that of Weymouth, Massachusetts or whether they were immigrants, born in England.

Of these two, CORNET JOSEPH DABY married at Sudbury, Massachusetts,January 14, 1676-77—JANE PLYMPTON—a daughter of THOMAS

GENERAL HISTORY

knowledged in the same form as the preceding, on the 13th of Aug.1684 ; and witnessed by Ebenezer Engoldsbey, Joseph Wooley, Joseph Shambery, and Andrew Pittemey.

These several grants were afterwards known as the " Town's New Grant," —the Enlargement of the Town by the General Court," — and generally " Concord Village "; till after about seventy-five years they were in great part separated from Concord and incorporated as the town of Acton. A company was incorporated, on the 5th March, 1658, " to erect one or more iron-works in Concord." These were built near the present Cotton Factory; and operations were commenced in 1660. The zinder holes and plates " were cast at Ohver Purchis's iron-works at Lynn, and put in by Joseph Jenks. The company had permission, 30th May, 1660, to digg iron ore without molestation in any land now in the Court's possession." The southern grant to Major Willard, above mentioned, was subsequently sold to this company, and became known as the " Iron-work Farm." It lay partly in Concord, in Acton, and in Sudbury, as they are now bounded. Nathaniel Oliver, John Eyre, and Joseph Parsons, of Boston, sold one half of the whole property of this company, on the 23d May, 1684, then consisting of the iron-works and 1668 acres of land, to the Hon. Peter Bulkeleyof Concord, and James Russell of Charlestown, for £300.

In 1668 the town leased to Capt. Thomas Wheeler, for 20 years, 200 acres of upland near Mr. Silas Holden's present residence, and 60 acres of meadow lying in several parcels on Nashobah brook, on condition that he should keep, " except 12 Sabbath days yearly," a herd of 50 cattle for Is. per head for the inhabitants, to be paid ^' one third part in wheat, one third part in rie or pease, and the other third part in Indian corn." They were to be constantly watched by a " herdsman," and kept in a yard at night to protect them from the wild beasts. Capt. Wheeler agreed to build a house "40 feet by 18, and 12 stud," covered with shingles, and to have a " pair of chimneys " ; and a barn 40 by 24, and 12 high, to be left for the use of the town after the ex-piration of the lease. Lieutenant Joseph Wheeler, by trading with the Nashobah Indians, became their creditor, aud petitioned the General Court, in 1662, for a grant of 200 acres of land at the southerly part of 44 HISTORY OF CONCORD.
