Biography

Quoted from * Atkins, Francis Higginson. "THE TYNGS.* 17th and 18th Centuries. The family bearing this name has to the descendants of Joseph Atkins an unusual interest for several reasons. That worthy's American mother-in-law was born a Tyng (Rebecca) and his only American born son married a lady of Tyng descent, Sarah Kent, grand-daughter of Hannah, Rebecca's sister. I think this latter fact of a second Tyng strain in the children of Dudley Atkins (1st) has been little, if at all, known in the family, all supposing the Tyng blood derived from Rebecca Dudley alone.

Hannah Tyng, (2) Edward's eldest child, married first Habijah Savage. Of him I have learned nothing, except that Nehemiah Cleveland refers to him as of "a family of military distinction." They were married May 8, 1661, by Gov. John Endicott. Among their children one interests us, as through her we catch again the Tyng strain. (See chart.) Their daughter Hannah (3) married the Rev. Nathaniel Gookin, son of Daniel, and her daughter Hannah (1) marrying, first, Vincent Carter, a merchant of Charlestown, married, second, Col. Richard Kent, of Kent's Island near Newburyport, and became the mother of our Sarah Kent- the "good grandmother"-who married the first Dudley Atkins. Hannah Tyng (2) married for her second husband Major General Daniel Gookin, who names her kindly in his will and does not forget her children by H. Savage. ^[1][2]
