Research Notes
See also Rayment-Raymond Charlton Mackrell Records.
See also Rayment-Raymond Glastonbury Records. (WIP)
Raymond-Shell marriage. This George Raymond-4832 (son of Robert Raymond-4831) has been detached a number of times from Mary Shell who is supposed to have married a George Raymond (son of George Raymond).
Not the family of Essex or Ipswich. This Raymond or Rayment family of Glastonbury, Somerset, England should not be confused with Raymond families in Essex or Ipswich, Suffolk, England.
Sons as immigrant brothers. His sons, William and John Raymond of Salem and Beverly, were shown to be immigrant brothers in Essex County (Mass.) Deeds, 17:24. [15]
LNAB. A researcher asked me to change his surname from RAYMOND to RAYMENT, citing this quote ... :"Raymond Genealogy" v2 p1 chapter#1 Generation#1; Text: "The family name of Rayment was changed to Raymond soon after arriving in America"
However I find this quote is in error as his grandfather, William Raymond-4821 of England, has a sourced marriage record and sourced Will with his surname as RAYMOND. Therefore I am leaving his surname as RAYMOND with an alternate surname of RAYMENT.
Son John. A prior version of this profile reported John Rayment married "before 1652" Margaret, and that he married (2) 1651 to Rachel Scruggs. Further, that he married (3) 1667, Judith Glover, and (4) 26 January 1699 to Deborah Perry.
Notes on the children in Campbell and Ginsburg. This work was printed after 1992, reporting John^1 Rayment was baptized at Compton Dundon. The authors also report a son George Rayment (2), born Compton, died "Bev[erly, Massachusetts] 1703." John^1 Rayment is not shown as born or baptized at Compton Dundon and no son George Rayment is known to have immigrated New England, or to otherwise have died at Beverly. No son George is mentioned in the 1651 will of this George Rayment, his supposed father.

1626, "George Raymond, whose age is estimated at 50 on the record, is given as "lyveth in Ireland and his wife lyveth in Glastonbury ..."
A few other details are provided, but this record may offer insight into the extended gap in births of George Raymond's known children.
It does not make sense to have William, born later, attached to a mother who has been detached from John, born about 1622.
Are there objections to this change? --Gene
P.S. Collaborators have yet to provide any historical support showing that George was ever married to a wife "Abigail Morris or Maurice," or "_____ Morris" or "_____ Maurice," or even "Abigail _____."
It might be "Johana," but input is welcome.

If no one is able to reference a historical record, I propose his date of birth be changed to "about 1637."
We know otherwise that he was born "about 1637" (he was age 60 in 1697 and said 72 when he died in 1709). See Walter Goodwin Davis, The Ancestry of Bethia Harris, 131, and Mary Walton Ferris, Dawes Gates, 2:703.
While that more specific date appears on both FindAGrave memorial 101273902 and FamilySearch FamilyTree PID LTD4-6Z2 (references FindAGrave), I am struggling to find a historical record to back it up.
According to George Lansing Raymond (1918), "All the [St. John's] records are missing between about 1621 and 1653." [1] Following in the footsteps of another WikiTree-er, I have begun to examine the St. John's Glastonbury parish records (FHL film 1,526,630, Items 41 - 51, DGS 4,021,891) and find George Lansing Raymond's statement to be mostly true.

John Rayment.
Narrative reports son John Rayment was born c1617, further that he is the son of Joan (buried 1618). This report is presumably based on a baptismal record dated 3 March 1615/6 at St. John's, Glastonbury. This baptismal record is often associated with the immigrant, John^1 Rayment.
An examination of the 1615/6 parish register entry indicates the child's gender is female ("fila"), the parent's name is unlikely George; the surname is unlikely Raymond/Rayment. See St. John's 1615/6 parish register snippet.
John^1 Rayment's birth date on WikiTree was recently updated to "about 1622" based on three depositions he gave at Massachusetts Bay. in June 1660, he was about age 38;[1] in September 1680, he was about age 60;[2] in June 1682, he was about age 60.
John's profile reports he is the son of George, but it does not associate him with a mother.
Elizabeth Rayment.
A profile was created recently for Elizabeth Rayment. Based on her father's 1651 will, she was then at New England and presumably unmarried. No records of Elizabeth's baptism has been located.
Her WikiTree birth is "after say about 1624"; she is the daughter of George. No mother is associated with Elizabeth.

If not, why would her name not be given as Unknown Unknown? --Gene
This change has been reverted.
WikiTree reports Mary Shell's husband, George Raymond (son of George) died about 1632 at Ipswich, Suffolk, England. He would not have been buried 1651 at St. John's, Glastonbury, Somerset.

Have searched both the NEHGS Library Catalog and Digital Library & Archives for "Alan Raymond" with no luck.
There is a catalog entry for author "Anan Raymond," titled "Affidavit of Anan Raymond," dated 1965, Mss C 5560. Description is "Typescript affidavit concerning research on Raymond ancestry in England."
I am guessing this might be the same material?

The profiles also cites ..."Ancestry of George Raymond of Glastonbury, County Somerset, England" by John Marshall Raymond in 1982; AGRG, contains corrections of data from RAJAF; p2 for parentage; p9 pedigree chart; res: Glastonbury, Somerset, England; p1 foreward Text: "It is now accepted that John and William Raymond, the sons of George of Glastonbury, were the John and William of Salem and Beverly", Massachusetts (various citations follow).
I see "AGRG"; RAJAF must be Notes on Raymond, Abbot and Jackson and allied families. WorldCat suggests Heritage Quest has Corrections and additions to Raymond, Abbot, Jackson and allied families.
At least I don't think I have access to John Marshall Raymond "Ancestry of George Raymond of Glastonbury, County Somerset, England" (1982). Ditto, source given as "Raymond Genealogy" v2 Descendants of John and William Raymond" by Samuel Edward Raymond in 1972."
In the mean time, the well-documented work by Mary Walton Ferris (Dawes-Gates, 1931) should serve as a good guide.
As to the four marriages, John's marriage to Rachel Scruggs and Judith (____) Woodbury (not Judith Glover, daughter of Jose) are well documented. It is quite possible John had an earlier wife, but less so that this was the "Margaret Raymond" buried 28 May 1639 at Glastonbury. As to the fourth wife, well ... Judith died in 1702, only shortly before John, she was likely his last wife.
Separately, might you have the reference for a contemporaneous, historical record supporting the claim that John^1 was born (probably baptized) St Johns, [Glastonbury] ... 3 March 1616?
Thank you again for supporting WikiTree.--Gene

Debora Perry I do not believe he married Debora Perry. I have Deborah Perry married to John Rayment born 24 Nov 1677. He was the son of John Raymond and Martha Woodin.
"Massachusetts Marriages, 1695-1910," database, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/FH5X-89R : accessed 2 November 2015), John Rayment and Deborah Perry, 26 Jan 1699; citing reference p 97; FHL microfilm 760,604.

As to his birth, I take it we haven't yet seen the actual parish records or Bishop's Transcripts, or have, for example, the reference to a film/image number.
As far as I can tell, the Rayment-Scruggs "August 20" marriage date is devised, less so as to the day and month, but more so as to the year. I wrote about the apparent record issues here, "Rayment Marriage."
At least back in 2014, by the known records, it couldn't be shown that John^2 (ie., John, Jr.) was Rachel's son. See G2G, "A Rayment-Scruggs timeline conundrum."
John and Judith's deaths were recorded in the Beverly vital records.
I'm working on a free space page to detail the Massachusetts records about John--town, court, land, vital and church.
TYTY, again.--Gene
P.S. William^2 Woodbury (William^1) didn't arrive 1628. Anderson places his father's arrival at 1636.

She has been removed as his spouse at least twice. Lacking reliable sources and related analysis, her relationship should again be severed, but this time with comments in a new "disputed associations" section and perhaps some extended comments in research notes.
There are at least a couple of G2G questions that are directly related to this association.
