  • Notes 


    • __________________________________________________________________________ __________

      Samuel Packard the immigrant, early of Weymouth and Hingham came on the ship "The Diligent" and ultimately settled in Bridgewater. He and his wife, Elizabeth ______ had numerous children. For Packard descendants, of course, his will should be of interest, but it is also interesting to note that she late in life married John Washburne, son of John and Margery Washburn and the husband of Elizabeth Mitchell, Mayflower Descendant. He died within a few years of the marriage, being then about 65. Note the interesting comment as it relates to a bequest for dau. Jael, current wife of John Smith, in which he seems to, but perhaps not necessarily, expresses some distaste for Smith

      "Samuel Packard and his wife and one child came from Windham, near Hingham, Corfolk County, England, to Hingham, in Plymouth colony, in 1638. He removed thence to Bridgewater about 1660. His sons, and probably he himself, were solders under Capt. Benjamin Church, in the Indian War with the famous King Philip, in 1675 and 1676. He had six sons and six daughters, vizs.: Elizazbeth, Samuel Jr., Zaqccheus, Thomas, John, Nathaniel, Mary, Hannah, Isreal, Jael, Deborah, and Deliverance. All his children had families. He was appointed to office in Bridgewater in 1664, was licensed to keep an Ordinary in 1670, his will was dated 1684, and it is supposed he died not long afterwards. His age was probably between seventy and eighty years."
