Looking for ancestors of Henry Tewksbury/Tuxbury born in England 1621. Married Marth Copp. Died in Amesbury , Essex Co., Massachusetts. I was told part of the family line is connected with John Tewksbury burned at the stake for having a bible. Would like to know relationship with other Tewksbury/Tuxbury in England.

William Copp had two wives...Judith Itchenor and Anne Rogers. Martha Copp was listed as a child for both women, as I found it. The data is a bit conflicting sometimes. I hope I didn't confuse you.

Just yesterday I came across a confusing bit of data myself, and it seems related to your own.

Our family genealogy (HERVEY... see http://www.mdhervey.com for more) traces back to William HARVEY of Taunton, Mass, who married Joane HUCKER.

Our genealogies have him dying in 1691, and do not mention a second wife.

So, imagine my surprise to find at Ancestry.com, in the Massachusetts Pioneers database (collected from very early church and civil records) that William's wife Joane had died sometime in the early 1650's, and he had remarried a woman named Martha about 1654.

Then it went on to tell that he had died in 1658, leaving his wife Martha widowed with four small children. In 1659, the estate was administered in her favor; later that year, according to church records, she married Henry TEWKSBURY.

So, do we have COPP, HARVEY, and TEWKSBURY children all mixed up? Just thought I'd let you know about that interesting bit of information.

Elizabeth.

I happened to see your message about this confusion and am forwarding some excerpts from the HARVEY BOOK that should help to sort it all out.
This is one of those unfortunate bits of misinformation which seem to be enlessly perpetuated.
I believe your original data looks pretty much the same as mine -- hopefully correct!

"NOTE.--I deem it proper and necessary, at this point, to make some references to a genealogy of certain branches of the Harvey family to be found in a "History of Sutton, New Hampshire," published a few years ago by Mrs. Augusta Harvey
Worthen.

The author says (page 745): "Thomas and William Harvey, brothers, were in this country previous to 1640. Thomas married in 1643 Elizabeth, daughter of James Wall, of Hampton, and resided in Hampton and Amesbury. William married Joan (???), and in 1639 was living in Plymouth. He removed to Taunton. * * *

"Children by first wife:
" i. ABIGAIL, b. 25 Apl., 1640.
" ii. THOMAS, b. 18 Dec., 1641.
"iii. EXPERIENCE, b. 10 Mar., 1644. [Should be 4th. She was baptized the 10th.]
" iv. JOSEPH, b. 14 Dec., 1645. [Should be 8th. He was baptized the 14th.]

"His wife Joan died in 1649, and he married, 2d, Martha Slocum, sister to Anthony Slocum. * * *

"Children by second wife:
" v. WILLIAM, b. 27 Aug., 1651.
" vi. THOMAS, b. 16 Aug., 1652.
"vii. JOHN, b. 5 Feb., 1655.

"William the father died 15 Aug., 1658, and his widow married Henry Tewksbury 10 Nov., 1659. It is believed
that (vi.) Thomas and (vii.) John are the Thomas and John Harvey found on the early Amesbury records. * * * From (vii.) John Harvey the descent is clearly traced to the Harveys of Nottingham, Northwood, Warner and Sutton [New Hampshire]." * * * *

It is very certain, I think, that the Thomas first named by Mrs. Worthen, and who married Elizabeth Wall, was not the Thomas who was settled at Cohannet or Taunton in 1638, and was not the brother of William who "married Joan" [Hucker].

As we have shown on page 28 ante, William, the first, resided at Cohannet and not at Plymouth when he was married in 1639 to Joane Hucker; and soon thereafter he and his wife removed temporarily to Boston, where within the next six
years four of their five children were born. They then returned to Taunton, where in 1647 their fifth child was born. The whole family continued to reside in
Taunton for many years.

Mrs. Worthen says William's wife Joane died in 1649 and he married (2d) Martha Slocum. She bases this statement, without doubt, upon what Savage says in his "Genealogical Dictionary," viz: "And it is supposed the same man [i. e.,
William of Boston, 1640-5, whose wife was Joane] by wife Martha had:
"WILLIAM, b. 27 Aug., 1651.
"THOMAS (again),(*) b. 16 Aug., 1652.
"JOHN, b. 5 Feb., 1655."

(*)ii. Thomas, b. 18 Dec., 1641, son of William and Joanna (Hucker) Harvey, was alive at this date, and it is hardly probable that another son would be named Thomas when there
was already one bearing that name among the children of the family. [end of] Page 34

The facts in the case are these: In 1650 there was residing in Boston a certain William Harvey, who was married in that year to Martha Copp, daughter of William Copp, of Boston, cordwainer. They became the parents of four children: i.
William, b. 27 Aug., 1651; ii. Thomas, b. 16 Aug., 1652; iii. John, b. 5 Feb., 1654; iv. Mary, b. 1656 or '7. In 1654 the first three of these children were baptized in Boston. [See "Report of the Record Comsrs. of Boston," pp. 46 and 49]

William the father died 15 Aug., 1658. [See "Report of the Record Comsrs.," p. 66.] His widow Martha married Henry
Tewksbury 10 Nov., 1659. [See "Report of Record Comsrs.," p. 72.]

William Copp, father of Martha (Copp) (Harvey) Tewksbury, died in 1662, and his will was probated 31 October. He named
therein his "daughter Tewksbury" and grandchildren William, Thomas, John and Mary Harvey. [See New Engl. Hist. & Gen. Reg., XLVIII.: 459.]

In commenting upon the will of Agnes Clark (mentioned on page 29 ante) the editor of the N. E. Hist. & Gen. Reg. said (Vol. XLVI., p. 453): "Savage gives two persons by the name of William Harvey who were then [1647] in New England.
One was of Boston and had by wife Joane * * *. A person of this name, probably the same, by wife Martha had * * *. The
other William was of Plymouth [sic?]; married Joanna, 1639; removed to Taunton. Query: May not the Plymouth man be the same as the Boston man, and the Taunton man be a different person?"

I think it is very clearly proved by the public records herein referred to, and by other records, that there
was no William Harvey residing at Plymouth in 1639, and that the two Williams "then in New England" were: (1) William of Taunton, whose wife was Joanna Hucker, and (2) William of Boston, who married Martha Copp."

I believe that Martha's mother was not Goodeth (Itchenor) but Ann Rogers d/o Robert Rogers and Cecilia Taylor. William Copp married Ann on 24Nov1614 in Hatton, Eng and she died in 1633, and then he married Goodeth Itchenor on 21July1634 in Hatton. Martha was born 16Aug1630, so Goodeth was most likely not her mother. I have lots of info in the Tewksbury's if you like. Email me @ bschang@hazardcon.com

I believe you are correct. Martha married William Harvey s/o Thomas Harvey and Elizabeth Andrews about 1650 in Boston. He died 15Aug1658, but they had 4 children: William, Capt. Thomas, John, and Mary. William and Mary died young. Martha then married Henry Tewksbury 10Nov1659 in Boston and they had 8 children. Their last son, Deacon John Tewksbury is my direct line. Would be glad to share any other info if you like
