Biography

Origins

William Jervice Large and Phebe Lee have been detached as parents. There is no documentation of them as his parents. See Anderson cited below for discussion of his unknown origins.

Caution: Anderson Immigrants to New England 1634-35 Vol IV:237-238 ^[1]states William Large was deceased by 1637 and left no children. That he had two male offspring appears to be incorrect information introduced by Savage and is covered by Anderson. Anderson also states the origins of William Large are unknown.

William Large and his wife, "coming out of the town of Hingham and towns adjacent in the county of Norfolk," settled at New Hingham in 1635.^[2][1] William Large is known to be living in July 1636 but soon after his wife is referred to as the Widow Large as well as being called the Widow Large in records from March 1641.^[1] He is presumed to have died at Hingham as Anderson cites no records of his having lived elsewhere.

Children

There are no known children of William Large. The introduction of children appears to originate with errors in Savage.
