Notes for John Bancroft
John and Jane were Puritans, they sold their holding in Swarkeston to emigrate to New England.
They traveled on the ship the "James" from London, and left on April 12, 1632 and arrived in Boston, MA June 12, 1632 and settled in Lynne, MA from 1632 and he died in 1637.
His widow received 100 acres of land at Lynn, MA in 1638. November 19, 1644, Jona Stratton and Thos Talmadge, Jr. of Southampton L.I. petitioned to buy the land that was Widow Bancroft's. JANE: After John's death in 1637, Jane moved to Southampton, NY, and thence to Connecticut. She died before November 19, 1644, when we find Jonathan Stratton and Thomas Talmadge Jr. of Southampton, petitioning for a settlement between them of the lot "which was formerly granted to Widow Bancroft". Her children John, Thomas and Anna, later moved to the Connecticut Valley.
