Note for:   Zachary Bicknell,   1590 - 1639         Index

Individual Note:
     
On Mar 20, 1634 (5) with 106 persons from the Counties of Dorset and Somerset to New England under the care of Rev. Joseph Hull, a 40 year old minister who accompanied by his wife, seven children & three servants. They sailed from the seaport of Weymouth in Dorset. After a voyage of 46 days, the ship cast anchor on 6 May 1935 before Governor Winthrop's village of Boston. On 8 Jul 1935, the General Court of the Colony of Massachusetts Bay passed the following order relative to this group: "There is leave graunted to 21 familyes to sitt downe at Wessaguscus". The small colony of Wessaguscus, began as a trading post in 1622, was appreciatevely strengthened by the arrival of such a large group and thus in September 1635 the colony was termed a palntation, changing its name to Weymouth after the port in England from which they had sailed.

The ship's list includes the following:
Zachary Bickewell aged 45 yeare
Agnis Bickwell his wife aged 27 yeare
John Bickwell his sonne aged 11 yeare
John Kitchin his servang 23 yeare
As noted in the article on spelling of the Bicknell name (see Appendix 1981 Bicknell Geneology by Phyllis Bicknell Carroll), spelling at the time was very random. There is no doubt that this is our forebeared Zachary Bicknell. Agnes' age also seems to be in error. As the records of Braintree, MA show the Agnes was 45 years old at her death on 9 Jul 1643, she would have been 37 years old rather than the "27 yeare" listed when she emigrate.

Zachary built a home on twenty acres of what is now Middle Street in East Weymouth, MA but that our patriarch soon died, probably in 1636, is evinced by the 9 Mar 1636/7 record of William Reade purchasing said house & lot from Richard Rocket (Rockwood) and his wife Agnes (Bicknell) Rocket, the sale to be confirmed by the child when he came of age. John would have been about thirteen years old at this time. Agnes became the mother of a second son, John Rockwood, born 1 Dec 1641 in Braintree, now Quincy, MA.
