Biography

1599 Birth

Julian Adcocke was baptized at Attleborough, Norfolk, England on February 11, 1598/9[1]at the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Anglican Church in Attleborough, Norfolk, England.[2]Entry in the Attleborough register reads: Julian daughter of John Adcocke, 11 Feb 1598. Entry does not give the mother's name. [3][4]

Parentage

Julian/Judeth Alcocke was the daughter of John and Elizabeth (Eldred) Adcocke.[1]John Adcocke named a granddaughter Elizabeth Sutton (eldest daughter of Julian (Adcock) Sutton and her husband John Sutton) in his will.[2]John Adcocke’s own birthdate and parents, however, are unknown at this time. John, a mason by trade, met and then married Elizabeth Eldred on October 7, 1593, in Attleborough, County Norfolk, England. [2]

Siblings

John and Elizabeth (Eldred) Adcocke had at least seven children together, all baptized on the dates shown in Attleborough[2]

1620 Marriage of Julian/Judeth Adcocke/Adcock and John Sutton, Jr. with His Ancestry

Julian Adcocke married John Sutton at Eaton St. Andrew parish on October 22, 1620. Eaton St. Andrew was close to the city of Norwich about thirteen miles northeast of Attleborough. The records read her name as "Judeth" Adcock. Evidence presented by Zubrinsky in his 2018 article "The English Origins of John Sutton of Hingham and Rehoboth, Massachusetts" proves that this was the migrating couple.[5]

Marriage entry in Eaton St Andrew and Christchurch reads: John Sutton and Judeth Adcock married 22 Oct 1620. [6]

Julian/Judeth's husband, John Sutton, was baptized on July 14, 1594 in the parish of Great Snoring; son of John and Dionysia/Dionis (Clements) Sutton. This parental relationship is based on the will of John Sutton Sr. found in the parish of Wells-next-the-Sea and dated March 2, 1615[/6?] where he names his daughter Margaret, son John, and wife Dionis. Found at Great Snoring parish is the record for this daughter Margareta Sutton, baptized January 1, 1588 [/9]; married to William Walker on January 10, 1618 [/9]; and having a child together, Judeth Walker, baptized June 24, 1627.[5]

Julian/Judeth's father-in-law, John Sutton Sr. "mylner" [miller] was buried at Wells on March 22, 1615/16.[5]

1638 Emigration

In 1638, John Sutton left Attleborough, and sailed for America on the little ship, Diligent of Ipswich. The Master was John Martin Ipswich. [2]He had with him a wife and children.[1]

"It is evident...that by 1638, the year of their emigration, John Sutton and Stephen Paine had married, respectively, sisters Julian and Neele Adcocke, and that the former had had with Sutton a daughter Elizabeth. The Suttons had by then been married at least fifteen years. [1]

1638 Julian's Father - Grief, Will, Death

The departure of his daughters (Julian and Neele) and then the death of his wife distressed John terribly: “John Adcocke who had dwelt longe in this towne and for a discontent (as was thought) for a daughter whome he loved dearly that with her husband & children one Payne a man precise [Puritan] & would needs shipp him over with many such other factious people into New England Anno 1638. And also for further present greife of his wife who died sone aftr in this sd yeere (wherby he thought himself & ws more desolate & voyd of comfort) fell into more discontent & sickned. He went and dwelt in his sd daughters house in Great Ellingham [adjacent to Hingham], where she and her husband last had dwelt And their laye verie longe in a languishing sicknes about a quarter of a yeere, & then died.” [7]

John Adcocke wrote his will as a resident of Great Ellingham, formerly of Attleborough, on October 12, 1638. In it he mentions his son John Adcocke; sons-in-law Stephen Payne, John Potter, and Nicholas Braye; his deceased wife Elizabeth; grandchildren Stephen Payne, John Payne, Nathaniel Payne, Rebecca Payne, Ruth Bray, William Adcocke, and Elizabeth Sutton, who stayed in England; and the children of his Sister Sparkes. He died in early December of that year and was buried at Great Ellingham on the 10th. His will was proved in late January of 1638/9 at Buckenham. [2]

Life in Massachusetts Bay

The Suttons landed at Boston 10 August 1638; they were early settlers in Hingham (1638) and Rehoboth (1644? or after 1645?). [1]

Death of Julian's husband

John Sutton, Jr., husband of Julian (Adcocke) Sutton died at Rehoboth, Massachusetts Bay on June 1, 1572.[1][8] An inventory of the Goods and Chattles of John Sutton of Rehoboth deceased, was taken and totaled £55, 03s.[9]

2 June 1673, Letters of administration, of the estate of John Sutton, were granted to "Julian Sutton, widdow, the late wife of John Sutton, of Rehoboth, deceased, and unto Nathaniel Paine ..." [10]

2 June 1673 "Item, payed a legacye to Goodwife Sutton, . . . 005 : 00 : 00" [11]

1673 Widow Julian Sutton's Inventory of Estate

On June 3, 1673, “Julian Sutton, widow, the late wife of John Sutton, of Rehoboth” was granted letters of administration with “Nathaniel Paine to adminnester the estate of said Sutton.” On that same day the court “payed a legacye to Goodwife Sutton” of 5 pounds.[2](From the Massachusetts, Plymouth County, Probate Records, 1633-1967 collection, State Archives, Boston, Wills 1633-1686, Vol 3 part 2, on FamilySearch.org.)

1678 Death

Julian Adcocke Sutton died probably in late May or early June of 1678, and was buried on Rehoboth, Plymouth Colony on June 4, 1678,[1][12] with her husband and daughter Hannah. [2]

The inventory of her estate totaling £27, 16s, 2d, was taken on June 18, 1678 on the oath of John Fitch of Rehoboth. [2][13]

On 25 April 1678, her nuncupative will was spoken in the presents of Mr. Daniel Smith and Mr. Nicholas Peck as they made oath on 5 June 1678 at the court in Plymouth. She gives her lands and meddows to her son in law John Fitch, and the rest of the estate be divided among her children.[14]

Children

  1. John Sutton Jr., first child of John Sutton and his wife Julian/Judith (Alcocke) Sutton was baptized October 7, 1621 at Great Snoring, England. The baptism record reads, "Jhon [sic] Sutton, son of John and wife Juda, baptized 7 October 1621."[5]He died at Scituate, Massachusetts Bay between November 12, 1691 and February 9, 1691/2. He married at Scituate on January 1, 1661 to Elizabeth House, daughter of Samuel and Elizabeth (Hammond) House.[1]
  2. Elizabeth was baptized at Great Saxham, Suffolk on May 25, 1623.[5]She did not migrate with her parents for she was living with her grandfather John Adcocke of Great Ellingham on October 14, 1638, four months after her family emigrated. She was named as a legatee in her grandfather's will; no further records.[1]
  3. Mary baptized on August 10, 1625, in Great Saxham, Suffolk, England;[5]and died November 4, 1703 at Rehoboth. She married John Fitch at Hingham or Rehoboth about 1645. Both were migrants.[1]

  8. Hannah was born between 1638 and 1642 at Hingham, Massachusetts. She died there in October 1642, possibly the 13th of the month.[5]

Research Notes

  • Undocumented claims report the marriage as 1616 in Attleborough, with John 23 and Julian 18 at the time.[2]
  • Julian Little is given by some as either an alternate wife for John Sutton, or an alternate name for Julian Adcocke. No reliable records of any kind have been found for a Julian or Juliana Little[2] whose name is frequently found in popular genealogies but who may never have existed as a real person, [2]

Do equally-credible historical artifacts evidence her being called each of Julian, Judeth (Judith), and Juda? Or are we promulgating a one-off typo by preserving the ambiguity about her name? I get that spelling and even names were more mutable, then. Just curious if she is known to have used each of these in her lifetime.

Thanks in advance,

She may not have used the names/spellings herself. We can only go on what the scribes wrote. Juda and Judeth were both used at baptisms of children. Her baptism was spelled Julian

Anne B., this is super helpful. Exactly the type of source-based confirmation I was asking for. Thank you.

I am curious whether her daughters named Judith and Anna may each be honoring this same Julian/Judeth/Juda, via variants of her name (ie written vs spoken vs contractions to nicknames etc) eg Julian --> Juliana with emphasis on the ANA --> her daughters Anna & Hannah; or whether some of the female names in after this generation may honor unidentified grandmothers on the Adcocke and Eldred lines, or possibly the Sutton and Clements lines on her husband's side of the family.

Ignoring Elizabeth, Mary, and Anne temporarily (as either known family names and/or names of contemporary queens), Esther and Hannah seem to come out of nowhere circa this family group, and stick for generations afterward. Given this Julian had an aunt Hannah and also that it's a stretch to get to Hannah via Juliana (see above), then... that leaves Esther as the best potential clue on grandmother names. Esther, and perhaps Margaret, but that's a common enough royal/christian name it's not a great clue onomastically.

Unfortunately, I can imagine this the troubled era in English history (ie Tudor/Stewart, Reformation/Recusants etc) a pious family choosing Esther for biblical reasons rather than any family tradition. Esther invoking beauty, thwarting of persecution, and vengeance against one's enemies.

So perhaps with this new (to me) info from Anne, we don't have any actionable family naming clues at all, for the unknown identities of ~5 of 7 grandmothers above Julian? Sigh.
